I found one at walmart for $30, POS but it has an AUX in and a USB charging port, exactly what I wanted. The FM radio is totally **** though and it has a blindingly bright light that can never be dimmed even when the stereo is off.

fcc rules haven't changed for the last 20 years. or something like that.

its lets us broadcast unlicensed up to 200 feet.

here is a link to fcc regulations..

http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Mass_Media/Databases/documents_collection/pn910724.pdf

and to cut off interference, unscrew your antenna from the car. i live in boston and have used my fm transmitter with no problems. not the ideal sound quality, but better than listening to a stupid dj absolutely no music identity (or that of a 14 year old high school girl)...

the problem would be the hardware. the phone is probably not compatible to broadcast fm radio.

here is an example of device i installed in my truck to get rid of any interference. they have one for almost all stock car radios.

Its the 21st century, get a Bluetooth radio, the TB will connect fine with it, all you do is pair it and when you sit down in the car it will connect.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MomentFreak:
if you have a car that can play music thru your BT then you should have an input jack for headphones or your mps player. Just buy a cable that has two male ends and put one in your phone and the other to your car and you can listen to anything that comes out of the phone that uses the headphones port.

Simple as that. Costs around $5
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkozma:
And unless you use a rom that has different BT stack than sense (like CM7), it'll sound worse than the FM transmitter. ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mandog202:
This would fall under part 15 broadcasting, which allows for transmitting without a license and no indecency rules, as long as the signal is at a certain strength a certain distance away from the transmitter. (most will have a range of about 30-150 feet in each direction) I run a part 15 classic rock station, and my signal will cover my entire yard, my neighbors yard, and part of the yard across the road before it fades away, which is within the limits for part 15 FM (part 15 AM can go a mile or two) Someone else is claiming to run a part 15 station in my area has a signal goes about 10 miles, this is obviously way out of limits and it's a matter of time before the FCC comes down on them.

I have the bluetooth soundfly transmitter above, Works pretty well in moms car, Don't need it in mine anymore since i got a head unit with bluetooth built in.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoingle:
i dont remember the exact numbers, but anybody can make/use an fm transmitter up to a certain milliwattage.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchell4500:
I agree with the others that an AUX cord or bluetooth is a much better solution but I still want this feature for 1 reason.

Its fun to screw with peoples radios and play what ever you want on them :P

Where to find 'chmod' answers

I had to exchange my G2. The one T-Mo sent is running Gingerbread(?) ver 2.3.4

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

When I do this I get 'chmod' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
Ok I will have been with Sprint for 10 years on July 4th of this year and I will become a Premier Gold customer, now normally every July (last year I got my EVO July 10th) I can upgrade my phone.

So my question is will I automatically be eligible for my Premier Gold upgrade ($150 off) come July 10th since I have already done a year of my contract. Or will I have to wait until NEXT July to upgrade?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
You should be able to even if your only eligible for the $75 off you can talk to someone at sprint and they can push a full upgrade through they did that for me last year for the og evo 4g
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
I found out today also about the the year deal. We have been with sprint for nine years. Pretty cool I guess.

You should be eligible for a full one this July. If not, just call sprint. Ask them about the ten year thing and ask them to describe in detail. Then ask about the new premier tiers and how they differ from old way. Be nice. Today, I was able to move from next November to this November. They will not mind doing the tier override if it is close to one year.

But I think in your case, you will have a compelling case. Just tell them about your loyalty to sprint and they will be happy to give you eligibility.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttered_popcorn:
If your 10 year anniversary is July 4th you can upgrade on Aug 4th (if you are not already eligible). You have to wait 1 billing cycle for it to show up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
Ok that sucks hopefully I can get them to give me it in July. If not I'm gonna use my dads upgrade for my self and when he wants to upgrade he can use mine. I'm giving him my EVO 4G when I get the E3D so he wont need to upgrade for a while anyway.

But thanks for the info guys!

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] orion421:
Well written write up sir. I do however have to ask, why not just flash a senseless or stripped rom?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] PCTechNerd:
Mainly because the unique ones are going through the same issues that Slayher is with CM (RIL), and the ones that are just "stripped" take over too much control of what is added/removed. I like doing it this way, so if someone only wants say, the dialer, they can do that single fix. Or if say, they only want a different lock screen, they can change that.

To me Android is about personalizing, and rather than have someone else pick what to add/remove, I can customize it how I want.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] masterxchief:
Cool thanks! I hate the sense dialer
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] skinien:
Are you guys getting a weird background when looking at the list of contacts? It looks like that Sense colorful bubble background.

Made a (proper) poll with the best launchers out there. Lets see what some of you use on your HTC Desire Z and why.

Thanks

Edit: I almost put Motorola Motoblur, Samsung TouchWiz and Sony Ericsson UX as options as well but I realized this was for the HTC Desire Z only.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dannejanne:
I have used LPP for the longest time now. But switched to GO Launcher just a few days back because LPP didn't work quite as well as GO in the rom I am using. But now that I have used GO for a short while I'm starting to like it. It has some more customization options and generally it just suits me better it seems.

However it's not as clean in its animations. Some of the screen transitions are very smooth and others not so. Sticking with one that is.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] derRobin:
A Week ago, I was tired of HTC Sense and so close to choosing another Launcher..

But Sense 3.0 renewed my love to HTC Sense ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] GeekRMX:
I'll try LauncherPro, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Well, on Sense-ROMs I always used Zeam because of the lacking amount of RAM on our Zee. On CM7 I use ADW EX because it is absolutely stable for me, it is fast, easy to customize and it has received really good updates in the close past, AND because of the hidden dock of course.

LPP I was using also for some time - it was for me just never that stable as ADW is now - it doesn't get updates more than twice a year, the complete rewrite was promised months ago... and I do not need those LPP-Widgets because I got better ones myself; all in all it seems as if the author concentrates on the widgets too much..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] fedtemis:
I'd use launcherpro for some time on my old galaxy 5. On my new phone I used first sense, then I flashed CM 7, running with adw, but I found adw to be laggy as hell, even at 1500 mhz. So I switched to GO. So far I think it's great for vision/desire z.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gravis86:
In my opinion, the only thing LauncherPro has going for it is the widgets in the Plus version. ADW EX is my preference because it's smooth, and very customizeable. I love being able to swipe my finger up or down anywhere on the screen to open the app drawer or notifications.

And before someone comes along and says ADW is laggy, I want to clarify that ADW ≠ ADW EX. ADW EX has the code re-written and doesn't lag in the slightest, even at stock speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] blahbl4hblah:
If it's about appearance and widgets, LauncherPro

if it's speed and less ram usage, ADW EX is the pic

I like ADW EX though
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] 313dash:
For me its GO launcher but ADW Ex is pretty good in its own right.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Aktivehate:
Never had anything else than launcherpro on it :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
+1 for ADW EX

Much better than the free version which does have a pretty decent amount of lag. Love how customizable ADW EX is. Definitely doesn't have the great widgets like LP but its a great launcher, well worth the 3 bucks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
Sense for sure.

I hate the lag when starting up the resource intensive apps, but several things make Sense the Launcher for me:

Clock app with timer and alarms just looks nice

Photo grid/Photo Album widget (no other widgets like that around)

Contacts widget using Facebook *without* a 3rd party syncing software

Calendar/Agenda App and Widget are well polished

Camera App looks MUCH nicer than Stock Android

Weather App and Widget actually locating me properly instead of having to type in a city code

Bookmarks Widget looks and feels nice - all others just seem spartan and badly designed

I liked Adw at first but Go Launched Ex is the best and it's free.

[Verizon Droid Charge] billku:
Hi --

I am attempting to use Tasker to turn GPS on/off when I start/close the Maps application on the Charge, but Tasker won't do it. It works when I test the tasks in the Tasker app, but not when I actually start/close Google maps. The profile is running when I open maps (the notification window confirms this), but again, Tasker will not toggle GPS on/off. Interestingly, the legal window that pops up and must be agreed to DOES pop up when I start maps, which tells me Tasker is attempting to turn on GPS, but it disappears from the screen before I can click on "agree." Anyone else run into this problem? On a side note, since I brought them up, is there any way to get around the legal agreements that need to be agreed to every time GPS services are turned on/off? God, those are annoying.

Thanks in advance!

[Verizon Droid Charge] DigitalOp:
Native Gingerbread should be coming soon seeing as the Thunderbolt will be receiving it before the end of June. Hopefully we can get that so we can see alot more custom ROM builds being made.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Ya I heard the TB was getting it June 30th so I would assume roughly a month later for the Charge but I also heard that they were going to just skip giving the Charge GB and go straight to ICS, that's one thing I hate about these cell phone companies, they never give us definite release dates on anything, it's always leak this, rumor that...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
Where'd you hear that the Charge would be getting ICS straight from Froyo? It'd be great to get it soon, but I doubt this will be the first phone to get it by any means, and I'm sure they'll have Gingerbread ready before ICS comes out.

Anyway, this is awesome. I knew Samsung was working on Gingerbread, and its already out for the other SGS phones, so it can't be that long. But I'm wondering if TBH got it on there themselves, or if they were able to procure a pre-release build leak. I'm thinking the latter because of the apparently stock ROM otherwise, but then again maybe that was the most stable way to do it.

Its from P3Droid and Team Black Hat, so for those saying its fake, its not. This is great though, apparently that thread worked and they're showing some real interest in this device. With Gingerbread right around the corner, it'd be great to have CM7 to look forward to! Can't wait to see this get out in some build we can use... :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Nononono I was reading somewhere, I think it was an Android Forum, they were talking about the Charge not getting Gingerbread and just going Froyo > Icecream, I'm not saying it was going to get it first I meant it wouldn't be getting Gingerbread, it's not confirmed information at all but Gingerbread isn't confirmed either so that's why I'm a bit skeptical

I have read several forums where people have been told by Verizon and/or Samsung reps. that they are not working on gb for the Charge and that they plan to just skip to ICS...although this info is probably coming from some tech support guy in India who can hardly speak English so who knows. I'm just happy to see that SOMEONE is working on getting this thing up-to-date, even if it isn't the corporations that should have released it with 2.3 in the first place...
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Well we have a gb leak so they must have been working on it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Wrong it is in fact and actual GB build for the Charge. I did not see that actual device in the video but I have in fact seen the file and watched it be flashed to a Charge. Its coming just a matter of when the release hits. Word I've gotten is hopefully around Aug time frame.

Completely inaccurate. ICS is not even going to be ready for til 4th Qtr to start with. And as for GB it will for sure be coming to the Charge and in the not to distant future like I just stated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Not sure why anyone would think that the release of Gingerbread on the Charge will somehow fall into some kind of lockstep timing schedule (30 days after) with the Thunderbolt, when the Thunderbolt is an HTC device and the Charge is Samsung. Two different companies, two different set of internal developers, two different business models etc, etc.

We might get GB next week, or next year, or never, I don't know, but I do know that the release of GB on the TB has nothing to do with the release of GB on the Charge.

Sad that GB is over a year old now, and we're still getting Froyo on the "top of the line" devices and still stressing over when, if ever, we'll get it on three month old devices. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
I doubt that any vendors besides the one creating the next Nexus phone has ics. It's nearly half a year away from announcement. Anyways, P3Droid is completely legit. He released gingerbread for the fascinate last week. He ran a video much like that one and people said that he was running froyo and being skeptical. I was running that gb build on my fascinate until I broke it and purchased a charge. If he says he has it, he has it. He apparently has a leaker and I thank God that he does.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Glad to see the Fascinate finally got a real GB. Took Sammy many many months to even give us Froyo which we had a working copy of in January.
