Like many others have said, the best way to type is using thumb keyboards. They are Thumb Keyboard which is available as a beta version in apps section, and Swiftkey :D. And I think the thumb keyboard is better than swiftkey even though they use the same method. The swiftkey version I have is the first beta, I haven't updated so Idk what has changed. But For why swiftkey is worse:

1. The keys are much smaller

2. Prediction is, well, not finished.

And others... lol

You might like the honeycomb city theme. It makes my xoom looks like its from the future.
[Xoom General] senjeng:
If you like Swype, try Slideit. *Really* like it on my Xoom. Its keyboard can be made about 66% smaller (towards the right side) with the 33% to the left useful for numbers and symbol drawing. I find the sliding on the smaller area easier in landscape mode, plus quick number entry in the draw area. Not available yet in the Amazon store, tho I've suggested it to the Slideit guys, only in the Android marketplace, but you can get a fully working 15 day demo to try it out before laying down the money. :) For some reason I'm all thumbs with Thumb keyboard ;)

Hello

I ordered 2 tpu gel cases from ebay and now i have aserious echo problem, the other side can here himself speaking.

If i could post links out side of this site (i'm anew user here), you could see the cases that i taking about.

Do you know this problem?

Could you suggest me how to resolve it? maybe to cut more space for the mic or something like that...

thnks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TheCoolBoy:
Anyone?

Anyone?

Do i the only one who have this problem?

when i remove the case, the echo gone.

but i need the case..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] hanhav:
I have a TPU-case but not such problem. Mayne yuo could make the holes bigger...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
There's a small hole on the top near the earphone jack for the noise-cancelling mic; maybe the TPU case is covering it. You could try peeling back the edge of the TPU case near the jack so as to expose the mic.

If that makes a difference, you could punch a small hole in the case to accommodate the noise-cancelling mic. You could use a small plastic or metal tube -- maybe the end of a ballpoint pen's ink reservoir -- as a punch.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] genivos:
Echo problem as well here

Hello, I have the same problem with my SGSII. Just got it yesterday. But here I have the problem with or without the TPU case. My TPU case has a small hole near the headphones jack.

Any ideas? And is your problem solved?

EDIT: Tried also speakerphone, then it is all normal. Speakerphone uses the mic on top near the headphone jack, I just found out. It looks like a faulty mic to me (or covered with something).

EDIT 2: Fixed, although people say that with my previous phone the quality was better. Reset to factory defaults did the trick for me. It seems that the firmware update the other day (used Kies) had messed something up, that is my guess.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] genivos:
New device

Well, I kept holding the problem. Yesterday in the morning all was fine, in the noon people kept telling they hear me with bad quality and an echo. I went back to the store, explained the situation, they gave me a new device. I can clearly see the difference in the microphone hole .. the first phone it was closed, here it is more open. Problem should be solved now, I hope. I can say that I tested the quality myself and I can hear the difference. The sound of voice is more clear and louder.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] xponline:
Same problem recently started with mine. Gel case and upgrade with KE7 around the same time. Now everyone that calls complains of echo. Case off to test that when i get home from work. Hopefully update tonight.

Hello,

I have the same problem with case, when I remove it everything become normal.

How did you solve the problem? Please share your experiences.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gcare:
I have exactly the same problem. I was first using one of the TPU cases with a small hole on the top. As people on the other side was heavily complaining of echo I replaced it with one which is completely open on the top and on the bottom like this. It is actually a very nice case, but I realized that the problem is less evident but it is still there...!

Even if it not obstructing at all any of the microphone/speaker holes, if I raise the call volume I tested without any doubt that a (low but present) echo can be heard on the other side. The echo completely disappear if I remove the case :confused:

Actually what really makes me wonder is how this can happen, and I will really appreciate any suggestion...

Is it usefull to install a anti virus or not.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Balu:
I have got a antivirus app (but only since 2 days ;)). I think that it is not 100% necessary to have one, but it improves the safety of your phone.

I don't know how good the apps are therefore I can't say if they are that usefull, but a study showed that there was a 400% increase of Malware since summer '10.

So I think that it would be usefull (if it works properly ;):D)

I've also got the Lookout security. It works without problems.

But you have to know that such apps drain your battery (because they run all the time - otherwise they wouldn't have any use :p)

As you can see in my first post you can't be sure that they work perfectly, but I think that it is better to have one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommeke19:
Thanks for you're advice.

After reading the article I definitely install an Anti-virus :)

But some say that the NetQin are the best.

NetQin doesn't take much battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Balu:
That could be right. I'm testing Lookout (free version - I think that's a pretty good antivirus app). Untill now I could see that it takes more battery with the antivirus, but not exactly how much.

I installed it one or two days ago so just test NetQin (search for threads I think that there are some here or in other forums).

There are apps with the feature to lock and locate it romotely (which I think that it is a pretty good feature, because my former phone was stolen :()

But before you install a premium version I would try a free version.

I just saw that NetQin is free so you can just try it. QR:

Look at the screenshot...

has anybody any tips please? Sorry for the short mesage... Ive got no more batt left!

Solution: 2nd post!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Majes:
I DID IT :D!

almost in the same time it drained almost all the battery before, now it has lost only 1% or 2%!!!!

after reading every single post on the internet (many thanks to who has investigated battery drainage), i've mixed the tips and tricks and what i did is:

(Maybe a lot of things are unnecesary)

- Disable syncing in gmail account (everything)

- delete software update's cache

- killed all services except only 2 first party services: SNS and Google services

- Tweaked the apps running on startup with "Autostarts" app.

- 3g off

- Wifi off

- BT off

and, as you can see, it's completely idle. it stayed like two hours without losing battery, constantly at 71%.

I hope this is helpful! I will try to discover slowly which one of these things drains so much battery!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoloco:
it looks to me that to solve your problem you transformed your phone into a nokia 6310.

It was a good phone, lasting days or weeks but it had no 3G, no wifi, no mail sync ... just like your phone now

What happens if you turn on the 3G and the Wifi ? DOes it drain the battery in couple of hours ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] akatora1984:
Just by turning 3g off will help

looking at the graph you posted it looks like where it has poor signal is when you experience steep drainage.

good idea to have all the features turned off when you are not using it. especialy 3g cause it will keep draining to get a better signal.

try using one of those widgets to turn on and off 3g so you don't have to drill into settings every time you need it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Majes:
You only have to keep pressed the power button and select the second option to disablr 3g... Data network.

Use APKTOOL to Decompile App Inventor App

first put a copy of your ai app in the windows directory

Once you Download and extract the APKTOOL to your (i use windows) directory, open command prompt.

cd to the directory you extracted the apktool into. (:cd\Windows)

enter this line of command:

apktool d -s c:\windows\YOURAPPNAME.apk

it will take a sec to decompile the app. but once it does, your app will show up as a folder in windows dir.

from here, you can go into eclipse and create new android project from existing source. and navigate to the extracted version of your app. you will find the APK tool on here if you search for it. and the instructions there are better.
