IPhone is great but you can't do much with it unless jailbroken n even then apple continues to close all exploits soon after the devs jailbreak them,

Android Is way more superiour especially with all the wonderful devs we have here!!
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I did see the MIUI phone and I gotta say, it looks real intriguing.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
now this is what we call a fanboy....what are things you can't do when it's not jailbroken? it's no difference than saying you can't do much on android unless it's rooted. I have owned many different phones and brands through-out the 11 years I've owned a cell phone and am not biased towards any OS or manufacturer. I give props where props are due and even though I hate the people that use Apple products and worship the ground steve jobs walk on, I'd admit their iphone in many aspects are better than my evo. I already stated the positives earlier in this thread so I'm not going to repeat it again.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
The problem with iPhone is iOS. Even after a JB the possibilites are far less than a stock unrooted Android. The reason most people root Android is not to enable certain things they were locked out of, but to run (and experiment with) custom roms.

Out of the box you can do tons with Android, like changing keyboards, launchers, photo galleries, handlers for sending files, widgets and tons more, that would never be possible on iOS.

iPhone + iOS is a synergistic combo that's very well designed, great usability, battery life and exceptional support from app developers and 3rd party accesories. But it is not a platform for people who like to customize their devices or need more control, and those limitations are not going away anytime soon.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Does every topic on these forums have to turn into flame fests about the iPhone or Sprints network or just general trolling?

Damn dude.

And another thing too is the companies that have Iphone, I was a former T Mobile customer, started with them with my first Android phone and as soon as they posted that AT&T was taking control I switched to Sprint.

if you're using Chrome, you're able to translate to English (or your default language).

the phone will be on pre-sales end of August, with delivery in October.

the only thing I wonder, if its going to have a front camera?! if yes, M1 is definitely my next phone!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinchbeck:
My text-to-voice language is set to UK english and I have also enabled the 'force programs to use this choice' option yet the navigation app still uses the american english voice.

Anyone else seeing this on the desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Maybe the uk choice is not installed?

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinchbeck:
Both UK and US English packs seem to be installed and are available as language selections. The 'listen to an example option' indeed correctly uses the UK english voice, but google navigation refuses to honour that choice... Does anyone know where maps stores its language choice as it seems to ignore the 'voice input and output' settings?

(this is on close-to-stock gingerbread ROM with maps v5.8.0)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolentUK:
I had the same problem - it's annoying having a robot tell you what to do, even worse to have an American robot bossing you around.

After a lot of tinkering, the problem seems to be that Navigation gets confused if your global language and your text-to-speech language aren't the same. So you need to change your global language to English (UK) in Menu / Language and Keyboard / Select Language. The trouble is, the stripped down Gingerbread for HTC Desire doesn't have English (UK) as an option - only English (US). So you also need to run a little app called "Any Locale, a switching widget" (by leohoo) available free on the market, to let you select English (UK).

Once you have selected English (UK) as your global language, you can actually delete the "Any Locale" app to save storage space.

And ta-da! Annoying English robot is back.

UK language

@ SolentUK

THANKS a bunch for that app info! Finally got rid of that American bit@%.

It's ok. I can say that. I'm American. :D

I love the British accent. It sounds just like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb.

Yeah, I like to watch cartoons.... still.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliottdp:
Speech in Navigation is stuck

OKay. Here's the scenario.

Got tired of U.S. female robot very quickly.

Selected English UK whch sounds like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb, if you watch Disney...

Had to use Any Locale to switch to the English UK

Work for a few days, then intermittently went back to U.S. Female robot.

Downloaded SVOX and the voice Oliver UK. He worked for weeks.

All of a sudden now, when I start Navigation(Google) the only things Oliver says is "50 feet". Tthen in about 20 seconds or so, he repeats "50 feet. 50 feet."

Reset all of the language inputs and even tried using different languages. Still Oliver comes on and says "50 feet."

Uninstalled SVOX and Oliver. rebooted phone, but still Oliver comes on saying, yep. you guessed it, "50 feet".

Tried resetting languages ifor the default and langauge inputs and text to speech...again and used Any Locale. Nope!

I know that Google Nav can be buggy a little, but c'mon!

Any help is welcome. I'm excellent at navigating and reading maps. Don't need a GPS, but damn it! It's supposed to be a feature that works, therefore I want to use it. It makes a fun toy.:D

I have a simple htc HD2 and I am fond of reading . Is there any best reader for HD2. I heard that the t-mobile one gets a official htc e reader. how can I get that? And yes I copied navipanel.exe on my start menu folder now it won't go. how could I?
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
I don't know about the reader. I just get my books in PDF and use Adobe reader, so I didn't bother looking for another reader.

about the navipanel, there was something about it here if I remember well

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583638

unless you mean you couldn't delete it.. please provide more info
[HD2 General] Urvansh:
Yes Thanks. By Navipanel I meant that I copied navipanel.exe from windows folder to startmenu folder. It is t=in the same place. But In my start menu I see Navi Panel with no icon and it is not working too so I wanted to remove it from my list of start menu. But I can not.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Put Navipanel back to default location & shourtcut in StartMenu will function again.

You could try deleting shortcut with file explorer from within Start Manu.

As for book reader I use uBook a bit as handles quite a few formats. It is actually quite good once you get use to the menu layout & get some basic preference settings they way you like.
[HD2 General] uli71:
For a reader have a look on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581516
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
Exactly. You don't copy EXEs to start menu, you copy shortcuts, much like on PC.

when you long press on an item in file explorer, "create a shortcut" should be available. copy that to start menu.

if you have trouble deleting the file, it might be still set to "system" or "ROM" in attributes. Try total commander, it has an option to change attributes.

as for e-reader. there are a lot of options. I followed the link in thepost above and the only thing I should add is that e-reader's new page is this:

http://www.ereader.com/ereader/software/browse.htm

this is probably not the official e-reader.

there's probably an HTC e-reader app/tab on this site. I'm sure about the tab, but not sure about the app, though I remember seeing it somewhere.

[edit] tried the above reader, you have to create an account and purchase books. not what I had in mind. There's another one called Freda, it's supposedly good.

i have usb integrated circuit dead.... i want to know were is it on pcb of tg01 and were to buy one.....
[TG01 Accessories] kevinpwhite:
I suspect the USB functionality is built in to the main chip and will be physically impossible to replace separately.

If you want a good overview of the TG01 cirucit board there is another thread with links to a French Member's tutorial which shows full dissasembly and may be of some assistance. I will see if I can find and add the link; otherwise a quick search should find.

Out of curiosity, what makes you believe that it is a hardware fault rather than something in software which is causing your problem ?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Hans Schmucker:
Seems alright to me, unless they gave a particular zoom factor or highlighted the similarity in size. As long as they are comparing appearances, thye can scale it to anything they like.

The point is that you shouldn't expect Apple's filing to be fair... that's not their job: They just have to be true.

It's the judge's job to figure out what is fair, which means distrusting the information provided by one party... if he didn't get any information beyond what Apple provided, then he is to blame.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Duckferd:
Scaling is one thing; however, if they knowingly twisted the proportions of the device so that it's dimensionally similar to their own, that is essentially lying...

Let's face it though. Every phone and tablet nowadays looks similar. At some point, we're going to reach this ultimate end where (at least in the front) all you'll have is a giant screen, edge to edge. Who is Apple going to sue at that point when every device looks the same?

[Motorola Photon 4G] diomark:
Yes, but it's a fair price. $0.002/kb vs. at&t's $0.015/kb. Use droidwall to block data access to the apps you need.. I usually spend an extra $20/30 for a week in canada in roaming charges.

Voice calls still cost too much I think (but they may have a plan to make it cheaper..) - i just use my phone for data..

Hi I just took delivery of the photon unlocked from sprint , I have put in the sim from Rogers and the cell part works just fine, I cannot get the data side to work though, I have played with all the settings I can find, anyone have a thought it would be appreciated. it says the 4 G not found, when I select network I choose the 3g on rogers, there is a 2g option, and I make sure the data on GSM is on

[Motorola Photon 4G] flak4:
Sprint locked the UMTS radios to disable use on AT&T's network. That's the frequencies 850 MHz and 1900 MHz.

Rogers, Bell and Telus all use these frequencies for UMTS as well. I imagine if it is blocked for AT&T, then you won't be able to use it on these carriers either.

Bell/Telus CDMA/EVDO, and GSM/EDGE 850/1900 protocols still live in Toronto will work with the phone, though.

You may have to contact either Sprint or Motorola to get this fixed as it is clearly false advertising.

Sucks though I wish I saw this before I ordered it (for use on Bell HSPA). Gonna have to get my rage on.

Sprint apps

Hi..

Please accept my apologies if my questions are a bit primitive, this is my first post. I appreciate guiding me step by step or pointing to another post if mu questions kinda repeated.. Thanks

I just bought a Motorola Photon on bay. I am in Canada.. The phone works well with Rogers, Fido..

Luckily, the phone is rooted. I also managed to get its MSL code.

Will a factory reset wipes my root advantage ??

Now, how can I get rid of these Sprint apps?? Having the MSL now, what benefit can I have in breaking free from Sprint-related stuff?

Is the WiMAX unlocked from Sprint if I happen to have WiMAX available??

I have too many questions, but let us start step by step.. I really do appreciate your explanations.. Thanks v much
[Motorola Photon 4G] leomaxi:
Backup activation of Sprint ..

install root explorer by market and rename the following applications

from the system folder / app:

SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk

SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex

in

SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk.bck

SprintOMADMConnMoPlugin.odex.bck
[Motorola Photon 4G] chibucks:
yes, it'll mess it up a bit, won't completely wipe, but will mess it up so that you'll have to reinstall.

root is what allows you to get rid of the sprint apps. there's a thread on what apps you can get rid of and what you can't... there are some apps that you can just uninstall by just going into >settings>applications>manage applications, while others you need to remove by root explorer, or manually (remount rw, and remove from /system/app)

not really clear on this question - you have WiMax if you have a sprint account, it used to be due to the $10 premium addition, but they've changed it to all smart phones. turn it on, see if you can find the network, and connect to it.

hope that help.s
[Motorola Photon 4G] red_gold:
Hi.. Thanks for the replies

I am not sure what do you mean by "mess it up ... have reinstall??" do you mean just reinstall superuser app from the market ??

I mean if WiMAX is available in my area outside the US. Will I be able to use it ??

I just need ways to break-free and unlock the phone from any Sprint related ties. i am not living in the US and there is no Sprint here in Canada or any country I am traveling to..

Enough that I also cannot use it with a sim card with a US carrier as it is next to impossible as I learn,.. I don't want to regret buying the phone that is why I rooted it and managed to get the MSL

to try to unlock it from Sprint as much as I can..

Thanks lot :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] chibucks:
factory resets basically clear /data and /cache.

/data is where all of your downloaded apps are stored (including superuser)... as well as your user data, settings, accounts, etc.

su (root) is located in /system/bin linked to /system/xbin, so it won't be removed and will still be on there...

as for your wimax question - i'd think if you were provisioned correctly outside the US, you should be able to access it.

the sim to US thing is something coded into the hardware, so until one of the devs here figures a way around it, we're sort of stuck...
[Motorola Photon 4G] red_gold:
chibucks , thanks a lot.. Your knowlege and advive is highly apreciated..

So Could I simply 1.rename the /data directory as for example, /data.1

2.Go to ##RTN#, Do a factory reset then rename the /data.1 back again to /data

Would that only be OK, or am I missing something or any other better way ??

All I care about is the root, anyting else can be re-downloaded. I don't have the experience yet to root the phone in case i loose root..
[Motorola Photon 4G] abrcrmdl23:
It is actually in the training for the phone that gsm is blocked for North America so yeah edge and gsm data may work, but 4g won't. Also in Canada the phone will automatically search for cdma first since this is primarily a cdma device.
