it is possible to implant slot sim card in motorola droid verizon?

ask

hallo:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I'd doubt it. There is no sim card slot on the Droid and I don't think it's engineered for one to be put in.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] spc_hicks09:
Not possible, Droid 1 is a CDMA device and isn't capable of having a SIM Card.

btw.. backtrack is an Ubuntu variant.

Yeah, other distros are cool geek cred stuff. But to have a security testing suite on your phone is really dam nice. Especially with it not overriding the rom like the suite I have on my fuze.

Yes I know backtrack is ubuntu. Yes I know backtrack is juts another distro. Yes I know linux has been put on every smart phone there is. I just thought people would like to see bt working. It is not just something can throw on and voila it works. Plus bt5 was released a few days ago.

I love the media controls on the button, and I'm searching for some headphones that have also an integrated mic to use them instead the in ear LG's found in the box...

Just a question: I wanna buy the "Monster Beats Solo HD", that uses the ControlTalk for iPhone...

Are those headphones compatible with my Optimus One?

I mean: I suppose that sounds have to work (it's a standard, right?)... But, does the mic and the button gonna work correctly? Can I use the media controls? Can I get a call without problems?

Do you know about some "over the ear" headphones (with integrated mic) that works properly with the O1?!?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groggycl:
Hi, probably stupid question, I think it is samsung but I am asking to be sure...

who to blame for the delay on updating our phones to the newest android os (sam or tmobile)?

it is a shame u buy a really expensive phone for it to some months later get totally forgotten by "original" brand developers...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Obviously T-Mobile. Samsung released two versions of GB for the international Galaxy now yet apparently T-Mobile is playing a money gamble here that would cost her some bad reputation and very pissed customers in the long run.

It's already happening.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groggycl:
oh I see, thats why I ask...

fu$% yeah, I am from Chile and here you can't really trust service providers... that is one of the reasons, besides price, I bought a US version of this phone. This is a little frustating and even there are cool developers I doubt in the short run I will be able to change my phone every 5 months to meet the alternative developers situations...

anyways, I think I will reconsider getting t mobile the next time...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICosPhi:
None of the US Galaxy S variants received GB yet, tmobile was first to give us Froyo so its the best you'll get out of the pack
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groggycl:
I didn't know that!... still think that doesn't make it better though....

less crappy option still crap i think...

anyways, I am not changing my vibrant anytime soon so hopefuly they are working on it :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
I'm not completely sure. The first 2.2 release on Kies felt like a beta to me. Samsung definitely hadn't provided a completely polished build up to that point. (End of January? Or was it February?) Is it really all T-Mobile's fault?

Also, if it was really being held by the carrier, why didn't Samsung at least throw us a bone and release the kernel source last Fall?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0phi3l:
where's the money in that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
well hopefully the sg2 wont fall due to that same problem i hope
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
Samsung can't release anything not approved by the carriers. It had tried to push us an update and T-Mo had gotten pissy because they didn't want to use KiesMini. I rem that they yanked it so fast that most ppl didn't even notice Samsung had anything up in the first place.

When it gave us FroYo, I think that was a bit of an act of rebellion because with the #neveragain campaign picking up steam like it was doing, the late updates was blackening Samsung's already tarnished rep. It was a bit like an f-off to T-Mo USA because they've been trying to push an update since last yr if IIRC.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
That's part of my point though. The update they did release seemed pretty half-baked, didn't it? That makes it seem like Samsung wasn't just waiting on T-Mobile after all, but instead were scrambling to update the phone in response to the negative PR.

I definitely agree that carriers are generally the problem...I'm just not 100% sure in this case. Definitely never buying a Samsung again unless there's a contractual obligation guaranteeing reasonably on-time updates.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
Its all about the carriers cuss look at the i9000 they get tons of updates but they factory unlocked, thats why, they dont have to be waiting for any carrier to aprove updates...

Does anyone else have a problem with their "audible selection" sound? Meaning the click that should play every time something is pressed?

[Android Apps and Games] miniBill:
I'm developing an android interface for a J2ME app I've written.

It is a 2d/3d plotter for implicit/explicit/parametric/polar/differential equations.

It has many advanced capabilities (not all of them are accessible from GUI, but all of them are in the code):

user defined functions, matrices, complex numbers, step-by-step resolution for 1st and 2nd degree systems...

It's still in "very alpha" state, but I think it is mature enough for some early testing.

You can find the code at:

https://github.com/miniBill/mePlot

And the apk at:

http://minibill.users.anapnea.net/file/daPlot.apk

And a web page that uses the same backend at:

http://minibill.users.anapnea.net/webplot.php

And an example of what it can do at (takes a while to load):

http://minibill.users.anapnea.net/webplot.pl?fun=sinx+siny+sinz&size=1000

It requires not permission whatsoever (not even reading/writing SD), so it should be safe even in case I made mistakes.

The final license is not defined yet.

The license for the current state is:

you can distribute it verbatim, as long as it is still in pre-release state (which means, until I have released the final version)

you cannot distribute modified versions

you can modify it, and use modified versions on your devices

you can continue to use the pre-release version forever (you cannot distribute it though)

you must attribute the program to me

Bonus:

if you find a bug I didn't already found, or give me a good idea, you get one free license for version 1.0

if you find a serious bug I didn't already found, or give me a great idea, you get one lifetime license :)

I might consider to eventually release it under GPL, and I will surely release a free version [which will probably be a "lite" version].

Oh, and anyway I'll almost surely keep the source code visible and let people modify it. Maybe I could just require people to buy the program before using it, but then they will be able to share code... I'm open to ideas.

Basically, I want to profit from it, but still allow users to modify it.

I hope someone will test it :)

I'm developing a calendar app to replace the stock app for Google Calendar.

Link to app: https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.alxb.calendardroid

The app is in BETA stage and I would love to get some feedback from you guys. You can write here, or you can email CalendarDroid [AT] gmail com and I will respond quickly.

I would love to weed out the Google Calendar related bugs on the BETA and focus on adding new great features.

The philosophy behind the app is a calendar that is easy to use, clean, intuitive, and highly customizable.

What is currently implemented:

Month View / Week View / Day View / Agenda View

A few settings to customize

What needs done before release:

Removal of all bugs

Search

Custom "add/edit event" windows

More views (14 day?)

Selection of shown calendars

More intuitive navigation

National holidays

WIDGETS! Lots of them. (Might be Paid version only)

Your suggestions!
[Android Apps and Games] adam2010:
Hi there,

Very nice app,better than stock :)

I would like to give you some suggestions. If I were you I would do these.

If you compare your app with others, they are similar in view aspect. Since screen is not that large for everyone, the word "presentation" for ex. wouldn't fit the box and square boxes appear nice too instead of rectangle. Something like iphone calendar ( I appreciate what is good in ios or android)

To solve the space issue, you could put color codes or words and make them customized.

PPl can assign red to school, brown to office....

When you click them, a window pops up and shows the complete schedule

Note I have exaggerated things on images, not all boxes should have too many colors, by using square you can use the extra space down there for quick note or whatever you like. Didnt have time to make eeach box different :)

Again Im sure you can find better ideas, You can sell more if show something extra ;)
[Android Apps and Games] bvoid:
Wow thanks for your suggestions. The color coding for the events you mention are just different calendars right? I for example have a Google Calendar for school, one for work, one private and so one. Each with a different color. Color coding of individual events would take some time to do manually.

You mention a window popping up when you click on one of the square day fields. What about making the lower part of the screen a scroll view with events of the day you have pressed? Then if you press on the square again you go to day view, but this way you can more quickly see the events for the day without loading a new view.
[Android Apps and Games] adam2010:
No problem at all.

You can for ex say you just wanna see work schedule, so instead of general window, u see a new one with let say brown color and only work related. new window for school and so on.

If you wanna see everything then you can have a general window that shows everything together.

Cuz it's hard to fit all the words inside the box (like in my first image) you can use colors or words or any other shapes you prefer.

Yes that's better idea :) use the extra space for scroll i like that :) may be more buttons, shortcuts, it has so many potentials. This way you keep it really clean, easy to access and havent seen anyone doing it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Stocklone:
Make copy and paste of events possible and easily done from one date to another. Please see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2618 for a list of people who are angry this isn't already implemented. This is a pain if the event does not regularly reoccur thus has to be entered over and over by the user or the user has to go to a desktop or notebook to fix it from the web client. My Razor did this so it is just weird it can't be done on stock Android.
[Android Apps and Games] bvoid:
Thanks. That is a great idea. I think my next larger feature is custom add/edit event windows. Right now I use the ones from your default calendar.

With my own customer views for adding and editing events the possibilities are endless. Of course copy and paste will be a simple thing to implement. Then there are the ability to make more advanced recurrence rules, easier selection of dates (on a month like view), and much more.
[Android Apps and Games] Haraldr Blaatand:
Yeah! A useful month view!!!!

IMO, the month view is the winning feature. I can actually see is going on! What this isn't stock if beyond me. Thank you for, well, using your brain. ;)

You will win a lot of people if you handle the full range of recurring event options.

I wouldn't waste time implementing this in the app. I don't know about other countries, but there is a Google calendar for the US. I just subscribe to it.

- WIDGETS! Lots of them. (Might be Paid version only)​

I am curious to see what you have in mind, but, IMO, these could wait. I currently use Android Agenda Widget, because it integrates with Astrid.

Anyways, I think you are off to a great start. I look forward to see what you cook up.
[Android Apps and Games] tgi007:
Calendar functionality: Holidays

I most definitely agree with @weareallkosh that national holidays are not worth investing your time (at least not at this point, there are many higher-priority issues to deal with in the stock calendar app).

Since even Google couldn't implement holidays right in their calendars you can subscribe to (and they declined to answer why), I think your time is best spent elsewhere. So many people were complaining about the defects in Google's "US Holidays" calendar, most particularly that it does not extend far enough into the future that I created one from scratch that incorporated "recurring formulas" for all future dates, and I generated and merged in all "irregularly repeating" holidays, such as Easter, and "nudging" dates such as "Tax Returns Due" to the following Monday when April 15 falls on a weekend day, etc.

Since anyone can subscribe to this (or any other nationality/ethnicity/belief-based) calendar, there's little incentive for you to duplicate the effort. Also, particularly if you wish to support multiple nationalities, cultures, contemporary versus traditional versus orthodox religion variants, and so on, you can quickly get bogged down in endless debates over which dates ought to be included in which calendars, as well as having to investigate frequent reports of "your calendar shows X falling on Y date, but that's wrong", many of which are inaccurate. Just sucks your time away from more urgent issues.
[Android Apps and Games] Rico ANDROID:
Cant wait to test this app. Will the calendar have a bi-weekly event capability?
[Android Apps and Games] bvoid:
@weareallkosh, @tgi007

Thanks guys. I will put national holidays way in the back. Your solution is much better tgi007, and hopefully someone will make something like it for other languages and traditions.

From the input I have received I have decided that the next feature is custom add/edit event views. This will make copy/paste of events, advanced recurrence rules, and intuitive date selection possible.

@Rico ANDROID

With the next feature implemented I will look into the best way to specify advanced recurrence rules. I have read the specification for the recurrence rules and biweekly is possible in the standard together with many more features.

The hard part will be how to specify these rules because the standard is really flexible. But I think some templates to select from is the way to go. Like the stock calendar, just with more options of course. AND the possibility to specify an end date to the recurrence or the number of recurrences.

But maybe I find a great way to specify it without making it too hard to understand.

Thanks all. More feedback is welcome. This is great!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmeuphonium:
So, I've had a hell of a weekend with my Gtablet. I Decided to try out CM 7.0.3, but it got stuck on the word "Android" screen on first boot. I tried going back to Vegan 7 RC1 but it boot looped on first boot. I learned how to NVFlash back to stock, then installed 7.0.2 stable because from reading I thought maybe since I didn't have 7.0.2 installed the first time and upgrading to .0.3 was what caused my problem in the first place. It installed wonderfully, but when I tried to installed 7.0.3 it got stuck on the word "Android" screen again. I tried to NVFlash again, but it boot looped. I tried the NVFlash format open to erase everything, but it still boot looped on stock. Then I found that I needed to partition again, so I installed CW from sdcard2 and partitioned to 2gb/0. This time NVFlash worked great, but the OTA 3588 update wouldn't installed. I manually installed 3588 and that's where I'm at right now.

Also, before installing any new roms I always wipe data, cache, and dalvik through CW.

Sorry about all that, I just wanted to get it off my chest :)

Before I install a new rom, I'm curious about something. In this sticky http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245 it says to mount /system and /data in CW before installing the rom. None of the other write ups say to do this, and I was wondering if it's necessary?

Also, do you all wipe data, cache, and dalvik before AND after installing roms?

I'm just looking for some tips so I don't have to do all that NVFlash crap over and over again.

Thanks!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthrem:
Having similar trouble

I have been trying to install Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 - I have been running VEGAn Tab 1.0b5.1.1 for some time.

I wiped every thing possible; cache, data, system, Dalvik...I formatted data and system...I tried repartitioning to 4096 and 256, then back to 2048 and 0....

All I get on install is the Viewsonic splash screen. It is a bit strange. I can wipe and reinstall VEGAnTab without issue. It seems that I can run Froyo based ROMs but not Gingerbread based ROMS...

Any thoughts?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmeuphonium:
I'm not pro, but think this might help:

I think Vegan 5.x is built off Android 2.2 while Vegan 7.x and Cyanogen 7.x are built off of Android 2.3. From everything I've read this weekend it seems that anything that was built off of 2.3 doesn't play well until you NVFlash back to stock and update to stock 3588. I think it has something to do with the way stock partitions stuff, but I can't remember for sure. So, if I were in your shoes, I'd do this:

1) repartition to 2048/0 in CW

2) follow this guide to NVFlash it back to stock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

2a) the guide is pretty easy to follow, just make sure your tablet is fully charged in case you have problems like I did. Also, make sure when you unzip the files into the NVFlash folder that they all end up in the same folder. When I did it one of the zips extracted a NVFlash folder inside the NVFlash folder, so when I double clicked on the .bat file to start everything it didn't work.

2b) Optional, in that guide there's a link to this post which wipes everything out on your tablet using NVFlash. If you decide to do this, do it before step 2.

3) sign into wifi and install the over the air 3588 update. Mine failed so I had to use this guide to install it manually.

4) install clockwork mod and roms the way you normally would. (this is the step I'm on, but I'm waiting for a reply just so I don't have to do all that crap again :) ) I think it'll work just fine though.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectzro:
It might be the bootloader

i remember having a hell of a time with this. i had a 2.3 rom on my gtab and decided to start clean and i used NVflash and suddenly no 2.3 rom would install. the thing i did different was use the Full wipe zip file that erased ALL partitions, because nvflash doesnt do that on its own. try flashing this (replace nvflash files with whats in the zip file. DO NOT INSTALL WITH RECOVERY), which should flash you to the 1.2 bootloader. i dont claim to be an expert but its worth a try and you can always NVflash back. also you might want to check out the NVflash post again they updated the files used.

here's what i do after initial ROM install (Vegan RC1 or CM7) -

-power down tablet

-boot into CWM

-install zip from sdcard - choose downloaded GB kernel (the zip file that is under this heading on pershoots blog - "ViewSonic Gtab/Malata Zpad (Gingerbread):" )

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache

-wipe Dalvik cache

-reboot system
