i'd like to connect my arc to my tv..but..it doesn't have hdmi input.

is there a way to connect the phone to tv?maybe an adaptor or something?

or I could use 3.5mm to RCA TV out cable,does arc have tv out through 3.5mm jack?

Thank you so much
[Xperia Arc General] sentry23:
There are HDMI to Composite/RCA converters, but for that price, you can get a cheap HDMI equipped telly.. (starting at around 80 Euro)
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
no -it can output via HDMI or for media you can use the media server app to stream directly to a DLNA receiver.. assuming that your TV doesn't have that built in.. however.. if you've got a PS3 that will. Xbox might (not sure about that.. just guessing!) and a lot of blueray players will too..

It seems both the stock HTC navigation and Google Navigation overlay the blue route with a white arrow - i find this

Does anyone know how to change the colour of the arrow in either application?

I'd like to request a method for updating my 3G VZW Xoom w/out having to wipe it. Think of it as a manual process that mimics the OTA process. If at all possible, I'd like it to not require root (I know, right!), but this last option is, well optional (i.e. not required). Consider this a challenge. I hold devs here in very high regard & never take their efforts for granted. I'm always amazed at the community & work I find here & that's why I'm posting this request. I'm willing to help however I can, feel free to post here or dm me. So, huzzah to whomever rings the bell & fulfills this request & tia.

If I'm not mistaken - P3Droid posted a process on the mydroidworld forum that doesn't wipe your Xoom when manually updating. It does require root, I believe. Here's the link:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirstoner:
My desire is dying.

It boots only after having been switched off for about 30 minutes. Otherwise it will either reboot constantly from the white HTC logoscreen or just hang there. When trying to go into recovery it vibrates 7 times and then hangs. When trying to root it with unrevoked it never stays up long enough for the entire process to complete.

Once booted it works fine for days.

Help? Please?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirstoner:
Lol I didnt know I could run RUU in fastboot. I tried in normal mode but phone reboots after sending 1%. Going on much longer now already. Keeping u posted.

Edit: Updating system, whoohoo :D Now lets hope this finishes and it was indeed a s/w issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirstoner:
Ffffaaarrrkkk...

It updates to 72% then crashes. I go through recovery and get an error screen saying everything updated correctly except Radio. I donwloaded a WWE RUU with the same radio version as I see in HBOOT. How can I otherwise find out which RUU I need? Can I see from the partnumber or something?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavze007:
Check here on the list of offical RUU's, depends on the provider you bought the phone from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

Use the one that's the same as your provider and the radio version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirstoner:
That's the thing. Its second hand and I have no clue of the original point of sale other than the country (Netherlands).

Its on 2.2 froyo now, can I downgrade safely to try an HTC Europe instead of WWE ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
One of the fixes for this kind of problem (have not tested it myself so do it at your own risk) is to put desire in the bag, wrap it up so no damp can get in it and put it in the freezer. Let it cool down to a minimum temp and then try flashing RUU.

Thinking logically, it makes sense to me. :)

Once you get it running, you can get cid, which will tell you original software. I think once you type adb, it gives you a list of commands, one of which is to get cid. Can't remember exactly, done it few days ago, but just out of interest, so forgot it straight away :). Try searching xda

Using ES File Explorer and went to my PC to transfer an app to my SD card. When I clicked it to copy it ran it and asked whether I wanted to install. So I installed without moving the .apk file.

After you install it you don't need the .apk anymore. Android takes care of it by itself.

i still cant see paying 1.99 when i can pay 99 cents at redbox... i wish netflix would become available for the xoom... pLEASE
[Xoom General] mixpix405:
conservatively:

Current avg for gas: $3.98/gal

Your car's MPG: 24mpg

Distance to Redbox: 3mi (6mi roundtrip)

Gas burnt: .25 gal

Gas cost: $0.96

Consider wear and tear on the vehicle as well (tires, oil, engine, etc), I'm pretty sure it'd rise well above the $1 you are spending to have it.

Not to mention the convenience of having it instantly. I understand the quality may be lower, you may rather watch it on the big screen instead of the Xoom, etc. But as far as price goes... you aren't paying $1 more overall.

That being said - I'm with you. I'd kill to have the Netflix app working on my Xoom.

Bootanimation in 240x320 for Wildfire

Hey rascarlo,

very nice work..I've tried to install this bootanimation on my Wildfire (CM7) through the kitchen..but the kitchen won't resize the images correct.

I got everytime I've tried to cook some pics with 480x.. but I need for my Wildfire an animation in 240x320.

The boot animation with the tesseract is now streched, that doesn't look so nice;)

It would be very nice, if you could upload a ready-to-go bootanimation.zip (first blue version of the animation) for the Wildfire in 240x320.

I've tried it myself to batch-resize the images..after applying the *.zip, but after that my bootanimation is only a black screen ;)

Don't know what's wrong with the UOT..I tried it in different ways..with or without Theme Switcher..no success?!

Thanks in anticipation.

Best wishes,

Vamox

In Winrar or 7Zip I can't see the options "no compression" for the zip..do you mean the option "save" at compression?

[Omnia 7 General] geoken:
I was curious whether the buttons are easy to trigger by accident.

On my Nexus S and the Focus, there is a subtle upward curve at the bottom of the phone. This small lip seems to prevent a lot of accidental presses of the capacitive buttons.

In my experiences with a completely flat face phone (the HD7), accidentally pressing the capqcitive buttons was extremely common and annoying. I like the looks of the Omnia 7 more than the Focus, but if it leads to similar problems as the HD7 (always pressing the buttons by accident) then I'd rather go with the focus.
[Omnia 7 General] singularity0821:
For me that's one of the most annoying things about the phone. I hit the search button all the time.. But some say there will be a firmware update to fix that.
[Omnia 7 General] geoken:
That's exactly what used to happen to me with my HD7. When I held the phone part of my thumb would be on the bezel and it would hit the search button. Also, when I held the phone in landscape my finger would also hit it.

With the Nexus S I don't run into this problem because the bottom is curved a bit. I've also played with the Focus a bit and it seems to have this slight curve at the bottom as well.
[Omnia 7 General] kieboy:
yup same thing here, this is when I spend time try to browse through apps and use my phone when it was still new. now i got the hang of it, and i dont really fiddle it as much as before now, just a basic need. and i got what a really wanted, fast and responsive phone.

Although I like sense its widgets and its stability, flashing it in my HD2 gets on my nerves. The reason is that internal memory is full and i can not use it as i could. So that the best choice for a NAND Rom is TyphooN's CyanogenMod7. What are your thoughts?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Galactus:
I don't like sense roms for the simple fact that I have a EU HD2 and my memory card isnt the greatest so having to use ext3/4 as part of the system usually makes my phone slow.

I downloaded somewhere some image sizes - below are two. I am not too sure which one I downloaded these for / from. But can these icon information be used for Windows Mobile 7, Android, and iPad / iPhone?

From what I think I remember speaking with one developer helping him with testing his game, I think he said it was $99.00 a year for 100 applications. If I only wanted to submit one (free) application, would it be better to find someone that already has the feature to develop this application? The application is very small - mainly to read one specific RSS feed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ChrisKringel:
Hey

the developer account costs are not connected to the image license price. If you want to submit a WP7 app to the marketplace, you have to own a developer account, that costs $99/year. But this price does not grant the permission to use these pictures. You have to ask the creator whether you're allowed to use them.

Regards

Chris
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Corey Bryant:
Thanks - sorry I did not mean to imply I would use these images, I just did not know if it was these image (sizes / quality) that was needed.

If the developer has an account though and he develops the app that I need, can he use that account to upload the app?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ChrisKringel:
Hey

For the licensing procedure and requirements you should visit this link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh184843(v=VS.92).aspx

But I don't get your question. If you're asking wheter you could have another developer programming and submitting the application you need the answer is yes. Every developer that has an account can send apps in. You just have to find someone that wants to create your application. Another possibility would be to program your app yourself and send the compiled version to a developer, so that he can pass it to the WP marketplace...

Anywho, once the app is made, you can

sideload it (if you're unlocked)

pay for a dev account and submit it ($99 a year)

try to get a free student account and submit it (see here )

find someone with a dev account that will submit it for you
