[Focus General] SuperSport:
-How would I go about buying the device? I understand there several different versions? Should I stick to ebay for security or craiglist is just reliable?

Whichever feels more comfortable for you. I've been ripped off on both before. I would stick with v1.3 for now due to compatibility for Mango updates at this time.

-How would I go about transferring my contacts, sms(is this possible)?

Contacts through Live as mentioned above. You can export and import fairly easily using Outlook, Gmail, etc... SMS cannot be transfered at this point. That's a pretty bad flaw, but so far I've lived with it.

-How would I go about having the latest Mango beta(are certain hardware versions not compatible)?

v1.4 is not currently compatible.

Also not sure what the dip in quality is in terms of camera, but I can live with this. My iPhone 4 pretty much replaced my point and shoot camera. Also love the fact it takes pictures fast. Again, really hoping to be impressed by the Nokia WP7, since from what I hear their cameras are high quality.

iPhone 4 camera quality is a little better, but not very noticable. I've replaced my camera with my Focus and am usually happy with the results (Be sure to always use Anti-Shaking). HD Video Recording is quite good.
[Galaxy S II General] isotoper:
Hi ,

Any news regarding the home button lag ?

I don't mean the wake up lag, which is annoying too but it's hardware issue.

I mean the home button lag, which means any program I running, and pressing the home button, it takes something like 1-2 seconds to return to home screen !!

I know this issue has been raised 1000 times (!!!) and that is the exact reason I am talking about this, it's annoying so many people, so how could it happen that it hasn't been resolved yet ?!

This is 100% software issue , CM7 for example doesn't have that. But I don't want to use CM7 ....
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
I also have it and it drives me crazy.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Disable voice2go and the other parts of the samsung TTS thing, use titanium backup or something, you will need to be rooted.

As when you press the home button it is waiting to see if you are going to double press it to activate the voice control.
[Galaxy S II General] isotoper:
Did that, it doesn't help mate.

can't make sense of it.

Indeed these instructions don't make much sense
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
after the phone is fullly charged,i delete /data/.battery-calibrated and then reboot
[HTC Sensation] ldelossa.ld:
Its saying to manually set your batter stats, and yes it does work.

Charge to 100% take off the charger and power it down, when you boot back up you'll be anywhere from 80-95%, charge back up to 100% and then take off the charger, repeat this pattern till you can take your charger charger off (after a power down of course) and the battery readout on the phone stays at 100% for more then ten minutes, at this point just use the phone till it does completely, once it dies plug it in and charge it up to 100%.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
It's called "bump charging". It's well documented to shorten battery life. Google it and make your own decision regarding using it.
[HTC Sensation] kponti:
Yeah bump charging will kill your battery
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Yeah, the sensation has pretty good bump charge protection. I wouldn't recommend it, you'll get longer life for a while then it will ruin your battery.
[HTC Sensation] Jawad1977:
definitely bump charging....do it at your own risk!
[HTC Sensation] killster:
Thank you to all that have replied so far, i updated the OP so users can make a more informed decision.

I think i will try it on 1 of my sensations to see the difference. If i get 30%+ more life, as some of the people in the other forum claim, and i have to replace the battery in a year, I personally think that is a good choice.

All of this is upto you..

Remember, its your phone, what you do to it, is your choice, what happens to it based on those choices, is YOUR FAULT, good or bad. Dont try and play the blame game, good or bad.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
The original post that i think that the OP is trying to explain was

It was a suggestion from HTC for a couple of their phones a while ago
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood it was a "suggestion" from some of the people in HTC tech support. I've contacted HTC tech support several times asking questions about the Sensation. Simple stuff they should know. "Does it use noise cancellation?" "Does it have Gorilla Glass?" "What are the holes on the back for?". I've been majorly disappointed. All I've ever gotten is "we don't know", "we did a internet search and this is what we found", "we tried one of our phones and you're right it does record in stereo.", etc. Never have they contacted real HTC techs and found the answer to my question. So, even if someone in HTC support said they tried this and it seemed to work that's not, in my view, an official endorsement from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
i found the original post, it says it is a "official response" & it was originally for the Evo 4G.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712990
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I've done some Google searching and am still sticking to my belief that the original posted email was at best from HTC support, and not HTC engineering. As I mentioned I've received long emails from HTC support as well. I won't go into all the ugly details, but trust me they aren't tech smart. Battery bump charging, which is precisely what's described here, is widely known to provide temporary increases in storage capacity, but at a cost in battery life. But you can get batteries for as little as $10, so if you want to bump charge every day or two, have at it. Just be aware it could shorten the life of the battery and speed up the inevitable gradual loss of capacity.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mccafferypaul:
I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab and have been frantically hunting around for a USB connection kit so i can upload my camera images from Compact Flash to edit and organise and upload to facebook etc.

But I can't find a USB connection kit anywhere for all the tea in China.

Either, does anyone know where I can get one at very short notice in the UK, or tell me if its possible to connect straight to an external HHD using the regular cable output and get them off there.

I have a backup facility on my external HDD that can get them off the camera.

I just want to avoid taking my laptop away.

P.S. why are these USB connection kits in such short supply?:mad:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] An0n1mUs:
Hello. I'm having random power drains when I'm on standby, between 45mAh and 80mAh. I know that Skype and Bluetooth, so I don't use them. Sometimes when it starts the drain and when I wake up the phone to check something, I see the power drain and I put the phone on standby, then it goes back to normal 3~5 mAh drain. I have searched a lot in xda, but half the treads are bout how to save battery life and the others are about power drain on SD builds.

I'm using an EU Leo, with 2.12 radio and NexusHD2-Gingerbread v2.8 NAND.

And this has happened with some other builds.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedragon551:
Setup is in my sig. Yesterday I was going to browse through apps so I open up the market and it says "No matching content in Android Market". If say I go under apps. The paid content area says the same thing, but the free shows up. Yesterday when it did this the free wouldnt show up and all I could see was the paid. After a reboot yesterday paid and free disappeared and all I could see was the VCast apps and now they are gone as well. :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you tried force closing the market and clearing market data in Settings>Applications>Market?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitedragon551:
Did and it did nothing.

What I had to do was shut down the service, clear the data from the market, and then clear the data and cache for the google service. Then reboot. It updated the market to the newest version with the new layout and all is well now.

Very nice! As always great work Pendo!! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Galloway:
Thanks! I hadn't been able to get the newest version OTA yet so I gladly downloaded and installed your version. As usual it looks AWESOME! thanks for the hard work as usual!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks guys. I really had reservations theming this version. I think the stock one is actually pretty decent once I finally got used to the design (which took a little while, lol).

You know, it's been a long time since I'd gotten OTA silent updates on the market. Perhaps coming from 2.3.6 might've been an issue since I resigned it. But even before then, when I wasn't resigning Vending I wasn't getting them. I can say that I did get updated to 3.0.27 though from 3.0.26. Not quite sure what all the factors are there.

Glad you're enjoying my twist to this version :)

Hi

does not work on Cyanogenmod 7 Nightly 101 for Optimus 2x :mad:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Just made a small update. I wanted to clean up the bottom part of my progressbar_indeterminate but I just made a new one up instead. Already updated in the link

If I were to venture a guess, it didn't even install. I have no idea what the optimus uses for a file system, and some phones are different (ie ext4 instead of yaffs), and my updater-script/updater-binary combo probably just doesn't work on your device.

Couple options:

Extract Vending.apk from my zip and use adb to push to /system/app.

Extract Vending.apk from my zip and copy to your sdcard. Then you can use a root explorer to move it to /system/app. Be sure to reset permissions when using this method! They should be 644 or rw,r,r

If you have a flash zip from another system app, you can put Vending.apk into the app directory of that zip. The zip signature will be broken at that point so you'll have to turn off signature verifications in the recovery menu, or resign the zip.

First option is by far the easiest. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] el_liberator:

I modified the script "updater-script" , and now it works :D

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I'd kinda like to I think. I had amazing response from the last ones, and so far people seem to like this one pretty well, too.

The newest version was kinda unexpected, at least as far as the drastic UI change so it kinda threw me a curve ball. It took a while for things to come together for sure. With that in mind, a lot of it really depends on what changes come down the pike.

Will you be Theming the updated 3.3.12 Market anytime soon?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I'm continuing to investigate. My theory is that something is going awry at decompile time.

Hey, nice to see you over here....I notice all the work you do in ClearD's thread. :)

This is the first I've heard of a newer version, but I'm not too gung-ho about working on anything new until I find out more about this fc problem. Unfortunately apktool is really our only tool available for decompiling/disassembling so making comparisons is difficult. I've spent a little while digging through apktool's source code, but it's still a bit beyond my comprehension at this point.

I do know that the error is not happening in smali. I can decode and rebuild Vending using the -r (do not decode resources) switch and the fc's stop. If I use the -s (do not decode source) switch, they are back. So it must be some xml decoding error.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sticktaylor:
My 3.3.11 Market you made hasn't given me any FC problems, its runs great. This new 3.3.12 Market update did say that it Fixed some FC problems & Added free songs of the week Designed for Google Music New setting: Auto-update apps New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only New setting: Auto-add shortcuts Smaller font New app drawer icon Microphone (voice command) button in search menu Star rating chart on app pages. It was just updated on 11/19/11

Here's a APK of the 3.3.12 Market - http://db.tt/Ubshunnb
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks,

Yeah, there is something strange about the fc's. First of all, they only occur with a few apps and only when trying to view their main page within the market. That in and of itself is confusing enough, but on top of that the apps that this occurs with is not consistent from one person to the next. Earlier in this thread someone posted the exact same logcat from an fc when they tried to view the facebook app, yet I can view and update it fine. And still others are like you and haven't had any issues at all. My initial thinking was that it was some sort of permission/uid problem. But I have no problems with the stock market nor do I have problems with the market if I don't decompile resources. But if I decompile resources, I always get the same fc's on the same few apps.

Thanks for the apk. Since there's apparently at least some folks who aren't experiencing any issues I'll go ahead and start working on it.

OK...so I finally found the problem with the fc's. I went to post my discovery...only to find that I'm about 4 days late as apktool was updated which corrected the problem.

Anyway, the link in the op has been updated and that version is working excellent. I know that there is a newer version out, but I need to spend some more time on it as I have a tablet now and I've discovered some layout problems with my existing theme on it. I'd like to get those all squared away before I release the next version.

Thanks all for your patience.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Scabes24:
Lol no it's not very many, the progress bar is streched (I just uploaded the resized images) and the checkboxes are a bit large, I think resizing them to 48x48 should do the trick. Everything else looks to be perfect though so it's no biggie ;)

Apologies for the tardiness in the update...aside from the usual distractions this time of year I've been working on a small project for Galaxy Nexus.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hyusa:
Does this work on other phones as well?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Depending on your device/rom, my updater-script may or may not mount your system partition. If it doesn't mount, then it wouldn't actually get installed.

If my script does not work for you, extract Vending.apk from the zip and either use adb or can copy it to /system/app with a root explorer (reset permissions if using a root explorer) and reboot. You cannot install the app via package manager, because I do not resign it. By not resigning, it prevents possible permission errors.
