this has never worked for me in gingerbread

I just flashed era rom scrambled eggs an gps didn't work untill I did the gps status download. Try rebooting an see if it works
[Epic 4G General] spyderfry:

GPS fixes have NEVER worked for me. All gingerbread ROMs with various "fixes" have only allowed the GPS to work occasionally and inaccurately at that. Never had any GPS problems on froyo. Always solid there, so idk. :confused:
[HD2 General] MartyLK:
It's been a long and wonderful time with my beloved HD2. I have enjoyed all of the ROMs it allows and there hasn't been a boring time with it. But now I'm sure it is failing. The SD card will automatically unmount quite frequently with a "SD card unexpectedly removed" message. I had hoped it was just the SD card itself, but that isn't the case because it does it with any card. Then I had hoped it was just the particular ROM I was using, but that wasn't case either because it does it with all ROMs.

Funeral announcements to follow. Services will be held here at XDA in a public showing. Time and date will be forthcoming. It will be an open-casket burial with mourners and singers. Pastor John Franklin of the HTC United gadget church will be presiding and will present the eulogy.

Anyone who wishes to say a few words over the dearly departed will be given opportunity.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Have you tried cleaning contacts & perhaps adding a layer or two of tape on back of SD to perhaps push it tighter against contacts.

Would be a shame to bury it if still alive ! lol
[HD2 General] MartyLK:
I didn't think about the tape but I considered cleaning the contacts and couldn't see how to do it. I did clean the card leads to no avail.
[HD2 General] Ev0luti0n_:
Dear god! another HD2 is becoming ill, and is now close to the gates of death.... god lord, may you have mercy upon this beloved HD2, that has served his owner faithfully since the beginning....
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
Well if your willing to call it and pull the plug you may as well give it one more chance and perform open cpu surgery on it. Chances are while your poking around in there you could do one of two things set it to rest for sure or bring it back to life and give it another chance to live out the rest of its life with a working sd card. The little tabs may just be worn and pushed down and when you open it up you may be able to bend them up a little so they can make contact again. I good luck either way.
[HD2 General] MartyLK:
Actually...knock on wood...it seems to be working just fine with WP7 installed. It shows the full card size and there doesn't seem to be any issues right now. If it remains functional with WP7, I can live with that just fine and leave my HD2 with WP7 permanently. I suppose it's only right because my HD2 started out a Windows phone and now is ending up a Windows phone...lol
[HD2 General] MartyLK:
I've found a brand new unlocked quad-band HD2 that I may get if I can get someone to answer a question in a new post.

[HTC EVO 3D] whineosaurus:
I just installed a ROM (Senseless ROM 1.1) and I'm liking it a lot. But I noticed something odd when pressing and holding the "home" key to bring up the "recent apps" list. Every few minutes the oldest items drop off the end of the list.

So initially maybe I have 4 apps in the list, then after a while of switching between apps 1 and 2, suddenly there are only 3 apps in the list, then 2. And eventually it even drops down to 0 so the app I'm currently running isn't even in the list. Does the stock phone do this too and I only just now noticed it or is this feature only an issue with my particular ROM? What aspect of android controls the app switcher (if that's what it's called).

I'm using launcher-pro if it matters, and I haven't installed any task switchers from the market. I might consider getting one of the market task switchers as a decent workaround, but I'm not necessarily keen on the interface they all seem to use (tap home -> task switcher; tap home twice -> home screen of your launcher that you would otherwise get to with a single tap).

I haven't yet found any settings for controlling the app switcher. Are there any, and where do they live?

I almost can't imagine that this is an intentional design feature of the "recent app" history, but after an LED "notification" light that turns off after 5 minutes, anything is possible.
[HTC EVO 3D] whineosaurus:
For what it's worth I started using the market app "PreHome" as a task switcher and am finding it a good replacement for the default. Now I just hit [home] once to bring up the PreHome app which maintains a good history, and never use the hold [home] to get the default android task history.

Oddly enough I haven't been able to reproduce the original problem I had reported, even when I do use the default switcher for a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] whineosaurus:
I knew this would happen.. as soon as I reported that it wasn't reproducing anymore I started hitting the problem again. At least the part where semi-old items start dropping off the history list. I still haven't yet reproduce a history list containing 0 items.

Browsing the web seems to be the most reliable way to make older apps fall off the end of the list. Specifically I was browsing m.zedge.net listening to ringtones.

Anyway the only new news is that when an item drops out of the traditional app history list, it also dropped out of the PreHome app's list.
[HTC EVO 3D] Plantguy7:
I was following the awesome root guide in the dev section and was wondering why Revolutionary needed your S/N to run the program. I read the FAQ and it says they just need it to generate a beta key, but can they use it for anything else? Is there even any harm in letting other people know your S/N? I would ask this in the guide itself, but I can't post there yet. Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I wouldn't worry about. They aren't doing you a disservice.

It was a tool to get you toward root.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
This way that beta key will specifically be for your device, and your device ONLY! The serial is the app and the serial on your box is different if you noticed so no harm.
[HTC EVO 3D] Plantguy7:
Oh, so I need the program S/N and not the phone S/N? I'm just wondering if I should use this program (and give up my S/N) or wait for the stable release, which they said would take quite a while. Thanks for the quick answers, guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Root that sucker now. No point in waiting. Everything is solid.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
They explained this. They ask for the number so they can associate it with the beta key they give you. Its only so if its start screwing up phones they can discontinue the beta test. Yes, I would go ahead and root now. No sense in waiting, it works great for what it does now. Also, They are not going to do anything bad with your S/N (don't think you even can with just the S/N).
[HTC EVO 3D] Plantguy7:
Looks like I'll do it then. Thanks for the help!
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Actually your phone really has two serial numbers. The first one is htc device serial number this is the one you enter. No biggie...it makes a unique beta key. The other is a meid...I forgot what it stands for..manufacture electronic identification something I think. This is unique to your phone. With your phone number, and meid..this is what you need for the towers to get signals from your phone. You want to protect this one.
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
I mean solely for Android 2.2+. I've already gotten Netflix, Crackle (sadly, doesn't work, the sound goes really, really slow) and a few games I got off of Amazon's deal of the day that were 2.2+ only. There's obviously Flash 10.3, too. The other one I got (which I've been trying to get ahold of since I got my phone) is Kongregate Arcade.

Anything you guys know of that's a really good Android 2.2+ app that I'm missing?

I'm actually working on trying to get the i9000 front facing camera mod to work on our Continuum. I need an i400 I can tear apart and do some fitment testing. I've seen some photos of the i9000 camera and the i500 (Fascinate) camera which I think is the same as the Continuum camera. It might work with a little trimming here and there. Ill post back once I have some results.
[Continuum General] nathanb131:
This is gonna sound pretty silly but the new Captain America game requires 2.2. I'm not much of a gamer but I actually bought it for $1 in the market and it installed then after the ~150mb download it gave me the error message on my stock Continuum. Took my son to the movie and we loved it, was looking forward to letting him play the game(which was well reviewed). Bah.

So happy to see this 2.2 update stuff. I'm going to have to do my homework now and make a visit to the darkside. I love this phone, will be more than happy to de-bing and de-bloat it!

[Defy General] marhensa:
GUYS!

if you flash full sbf of GingerBread releases (for Defy+)

you CANNOT go back to froyo again!

you will suffer going back to froyo with complex method.

use proper method to upgrade to GingerBread,

use nandroid+fixed sbf.

DO NOT FLASH FULL SBF of GingerBread release.

because it has higher version of *.SMG files, which cannot be downgraded.

nandroid+fixed sbf prevent that from happening.

god!

i saw many people suffering going to stock because of it.

[Defy General] Adityaak:
One question from my side. I have stock 2.2 rom sea15 indian version now if I want to go to cm7 rc1.5 and also want the ability to downgrade so I could use my warranty. I just want to know that do I have to flash the fixed sbf on my stock rom before flashing cm7. Thanks in advance!!!
[Defy General] aks.techscience:
Yes that is recommended ....but before u do so make a nandroid backup in case u want to get back to ur stock rom
[Defy General] aks.techscience:
For warranty purpose do a nandroid backup
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Whenever you want to switch back to froyo just flash back the stock 2.2 SBF, you won't lose your apps and settings but you'll lose the root capabilities. Or if you don't want to have to root again just make sure you have a nandroid backup and restore it as suggested above.
[Defy General] marhensa:
CM7 doesn't need fixed sbf + nandroid method.

just flash it.

when you wanna go back to stock, flash full sbf of sea15 froyo (do wipe data and wipe cache first)

and READ THE DEFY CM7 FAQ thread please.

Is my list of pros/cons for 2.3.3 as compared with 2.3.5 somewhat correct?

2.3.3 Pros

:

Snappier ui due to swap

Working A2DP

Working HDMI without skips, etc

LG Camera at least partially ported

2.3.3 Cons

:

Lack of CM7 Theme Chooser

Somewhat more limited working apps (Netflix doesn't work on it, correct?)

Lack of Notification Toggles (can use widgetsoid, but it's not quite the same)

Slower data speed than CM7

Hello. I was wondering how the developers here managed to learn how to code in Java? Im studying a book and trying to get a couple of my friends to learn how to do it also, and was thinking it would be awesome to have the perspective of current developers.
[Android Software Development] Jmurph3:
Perhaps a skilled developer could compile a guide as well? I think that might be a bit too much, but I am, too, curious on how to really get started. How about some guidelines on what we should learn and some easy examples to copy for practice?
[Android Software Development] george241312:
i would like to learn also... im dying on making my own rom for my sensation
[Android Software Development] bmdixon:
I'm starting to learn to develop apps for android too.

Any ideas for 'simple' apps to write as a starting point. Not after 'original' apps, just something with a use to get started. I'm currently thinking of doing a to-do list kinda app, don't think it would be too complicated and hopefully it'll get me going. Any other ideas? (Purely for my benefit - wouldn't release them or anything)
[Android Software Development] :
About 130 hours of college should do it...at least to start with :-)

Sorry, I'm just one of those that believe in formal training. Sure, I can read a book on plumbing and do some tasks around the house. Does that make me a plumber?

It's just not that easy to learn how to write good and I"m talking clean, efficient, bug-free, well documented, easy to maintain (by me or others) code.

Now, don't get your panties in a bunch; it CAN be done. Be prepared for a lot of hours of reading, writing code, debugging code (getting massively frustrated) and then doing it again.

I have 2 degrees in CS, been a professional programmer for 15 years and I'm still learning.

Ok, now that I'm off my soapbox :), back to OP. Learn about your variable types: int, float, the String class. Write short, simple programs (enter 2 numbers, add them and display results etc.)

Learn about program flow: sequential statements, if/else, do/while, while/do, for/next constructs.

Learn about your data structures as a program is only as good as how you can store, manipulate, display and save data. Stacks, queues, arrays, vectors, maps, sets, trees, linked lists (single and double). I can not stress enough how important these are :-)

Learn how to get information into a program (user input, database, files) and how to save it...a payroll program isn't much good if you can't save John's last paycheck's data!
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Learn by Doing. Thats the best way.

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] Metastable:
This. Doing actual coding on a high level is the best way to get started. Go to the Android SDK site and browse the tutorials. Make small apps that do very basic stuff. Study code, learn what the methods do. As you progress you will better understand how to put stuff together in your head, or on paper and then actually code it.

Look up tutorials for things that you are interested in doing. There is a wealth of knowledge just from Googling basic things. Learning keywords and technical terms (queue, array, etc.) is also helpful when searching for tutorials or help.

Most importantly as killersnowman pointed out, just keep coding when ever you can and you will slowly build up your skills. Taking courses is always a plus.
[Android Software Development] Tom in AZ:
I am presently looking into courses in my area as well. It has been too long since I have played with code and I really need to start working on my own apps.

I've tried App Inventor, and also I am playing with Basic4Android. My goal is to be able to be able to interface my phone or tablet with robots. Then from there I want to move onto useful apps.

These two places are enough to master app-development on Android:

http://developer.android.com/index.html

And

http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reallybigindex.html

Please note that there are a lot of concepts in the Java tutorial that aren't applicable for Android. So the chapter "Trail: Learning the Java Language"

is probably enough

But in addition to these places you really should have some kind of fun learning project that really motivates you to learn all this. It is more fun and easier to learn what you actually need for your app.
