PS after reading that forum. It is actually 10.3 libs wrapped up in the v11 wrapper; not true v11. Nevertheless, wow it works great.

Any way to get this working on Opera Mobile?

I'm using CM 7.2, and it runs smooth on the default browser, but OM doesn't seem to recognize it.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
I dont think it will work with opera mini at all, the way opera mini is set up is that it compresses web pages so it can be opened faster and so on...try dolphin browser

HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
[HTC Wildfire S] shaarky:
It's working in Opera Mobile, it's not supported in Opera Mini. Unfortunately in Opera Mobile it doesn't work so well as in Dolphin HD browser. However, even in Dolphin HD you still require video/flash which is mobile optimized.

[HTC Desire S] moloto:
Currently running on sense 3.0 and i like the 1 line 3d clock widget from sense 3.5,

is there any possibility to copy just the HTCCLock3dWidget.apk over(in /sysem/app/)? Because if i do so its not working, does the 3.5 widget has some dependecies wich has to be copyied too?

I dont want to flash custom rom just because of the widget..
[HTC Desire S] zeekiz:
Flash custom ROM, go.

No, one cannot simply copy APK and expect it to work.

If not you might be able to mind some equivalent widget through the application Beautiful Widgets.
[HTC Desire S] moloto:
Yes you are right, i messed it up. I did backup of the clock widget apk then replaced it with the new one, since then it didnt show up in the widget list, then i replaced it back with the app from backup but it is still not in the widget list. So now im using beautiful widgets clock and everything is ok.
[HTC Desire S] Ben Zero:
Hi all

Long-time lurker here.

I recently got the OTA Sense 3.0 update and I’m disappointed with it for a number of reasons – found a fair few bugs and there’s some aesthetic changes I don’t like (the Android+Sense interface is increasingly a mess!). Hate the 3D homescreen thing. Someone should tell HTC that flat is in!

But my main problem is that since the update the phone’s been generally very laggy. Scrolling everywhere is slower than before and can be very jerky. Overall the phone just isn’t as responsive as before. And here’s the weird thing – the new HTC task manager and other third party task managers are reporting only a total of 596 MB of memory available. Obviously the phone has 768 MB of RAM so I’m wondering if something weird is going on here? Has the new firmware somehow zapped the usage of the rest of the memory and therefore this is what’s causing the slow-downs? Or is it just that it’s showing the available memory minus Sense? Does anyone know what the deal is? I’m assuming other people are also seeing that RAM anomaly?

Thanks all – I look forward to hearing any theories and thoughts on this!

Cheers

Ben
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
The RAM is reserved for the Android core apps. You will see less with this new update as the phone requires more RAM.

Remember having less free RAM doesn't make your phone slower... Of anything it will be faster as the data is saved in the RAM..
[HTC Desire S] Ben Zero:
Ah ok, thanks for that - explains the anomaly.

I still think this update is laggy as hell. Shame. I much preferred the previous version. Hmmm, might be time for a root! I just wish there was a relatively straight forward way to root from this update. The idea of first having to revert to an old HBOOT and then do all the S-OFF, root and flash stuff kind of scares me.

Has anyone rooted from the new Sense 3.0 update? Is there a step-by-step process?

Thanks

Ben
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Strange as I tried another OTA updated stock phone today and was quite impressed over how fast it actually was.

I know that this is severe but I'd possibly try a full reset and then look at speed after you've setup again.

I believe that you should still be able to unlock using HTCDEV site and then flash custom ROMS which remove the 3d side of sense.....with the super smooth 2d rosie fixes.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yep, super smooth 2d is still 3d, but the wodgets have a 2d element, and its much faster.

Many people find it laggy after updating, but if they wipe and update it is fine
[HTC Desire S] cdx47:
Agreed. Do a full factory reset and in fact you will hopefully find your phone faster than before. I did. Loading apps from the setup - manage apps screen takes about 2 seconds max whereas before it to at least 5
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
My desire after update just fly
[HTC Desire S] Ben Zero:
What about in app scrolling though guys, particularly in the browser? I'm finding this very slow and jerky. And in Google Reader and other content-based apps. Are you seeing this? The scrolling's horrible here. Want to check before I do a full reset!

Here's some bugs I've noticed too:

- The HTC Bookmarks widget. Scrolls very slowly.

- The bookmarks page in the browser no longer has a scroll bar.

Ben
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No problems here. Do a hard reset ;)

Backup your stuff first!
[HTC Desire S] gefilus:
I dont know wherw you have problem , i got update a prety long time now ago and it runs better then old rom. I didnt hard reset it just updated and he saved all in phone no problems nothing. Works perfect. I know quadrant dont say nothing but i can score 1900+ and its not rooted and overclocked
[HTC Desire S] Ben Zero:
Do you know if the HTCDEV site performs both an S-OFF and a root to the Desire S? In other words, can I then just go ahead and flash a ROM?

Thanks

[Motorola Photon 4G] GraphicDemon:
I was looking through the build prop n I noticed we have lte files in our build prop, idk why people are soo worried about sprints changes soon...
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
That build.prop was taken and edited from a verizon device. That's why it also has so many references to VZW.

That is not a reliable source right now as to whether or not the phone has LTE.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fnztakedown:
Annnnd another one, when you have an Offical statement from Motorola themselves that's when ill believe it. Same with ICS. Time will only tell. If they do release a statement it would be closer to the launch of lte if you think about it because sprint doesn't want to say oh yeah this one is ready for lte then it would be hurting sales for the others that don't have lte in it. Motos demand would sky rocket on sprint and that new shiny iphone would never be sold lmao
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I agree with that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Smh...first person to look at the build. prop were ya?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
More importantly, forget anything you find on the phone.

The phone simply isn't certified for use with LTE, either from lightsquared or from (proposed LTE from) clearwire. Check the FCC certifications, they are public.

Even if Motorola releases an LTE Photon, it would be a different photon that has gone through the FCC certification process meaning you would have to rebuy the phone or Sprint would have to recall/replace the current Photons (highly unlikely).

Well I am trying to figure out how I can get the BT module from a 2.2 rom to a 2.1 rom. This cuss I want to get the media keys from a BT device working. Now they just don't do anything on 2.1 VE6.2... :(

Well that is my main goal to get those working :P

Any idea's and tips are welcome :D

Already checked if the event is logged when I press the button on the radio and the logcat doesnt show a press recieved thingy. so that is a no. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
I'd recommend posting this on the cdma forum as well, and maybe in some non-device-specific android dev forum too since it may be a simple answer like "android 2.1 doesn't contain the code necessary to work with 2.2 bt button control libraries" or something like that.

I have a feeling that what you're trying to do is impossible - I mean, android 2.1 never claimed to have bt button support, and it's highly likely that android 2.2 bt libs will simply never work with android 2.1 in that way.

BUT I REALLY HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THIS WORK!

:-D

cdma forum is more dev-aware than gsm forum I think. good place to start.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lirasina:
Then I do wonder why Kimera 3.0 sometimes work with them. XD prob something HTCish...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
cool, forgot that part. HTCish seems likely. they change so much that android 2.1 isn't really 2.1 any more.

I hope you can pull it off. I'm NOT saying that I know it is impossible. I don't really know. but it seems likely that aosp will have a different set of conditions from sense roms and working in one may not mean it's possible in the other.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lirasina:
Ok I need to get AVRCP implented into the ROM. Then it will work. VE does not have it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
I figured bt remote control profile wasn't in it. the question is - can you find a clever way to push it in and ahve it work.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
After some surfing I found something that might be of help. "Headset Button Fix" app: https://market.android.com/details?id=at.zweng.HeadsetButtonFix&hl=en

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lirasina:
I am gonna try it. And I wonder if it works. if that is the case. I love to know what the app does behind the screens. And well ill try tomorow.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lirasina:
Ok the app does not work. To bad. But well after I read what it does. kinda logical. Like I said. something HTCish makes it work on the sense roms. Well I just need to get that darn profile to work and then it may work.... But guess not :D

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stew1411:
My girlfriend and i both have captivates and she said hers was getting hot. I didnt think of anything as all phones get a little warm while charging. However when i grabbed it last night, it was so hot it could have burnt my hand. It feels hotter than most dinner plates at resturaunts. New battery does the same thing. What could it be? Two bad batteries?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If it's still under warranty, I would suggest taking it back in to AT&T. (If you've modded it, make sure it's back at stock first, of course.) It sounds like a hardware issue, and if you explain it to them, they might swap it out for you with one that doesn't behave that way.

Someone else may be able to offer a different/better solution, but if you've got hardware getting that hot, that signals to me that it's going to be trouble down the line, and it's better to take care of it now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stew1411:
Not under warranty. Took in to store and att rep said something inside smells like its melting.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
Yeah if its so hot to burn your hand then something IS melting...like the processor
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
could be alot of things. first try changing the ROM on your device. How's your battery life? which part seems hottest?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stew1411:
Battery life sucks. Rom is stock froyo rooted. battery life was worth with other custom roms and stock seemed best since shes not into the whole modding scene like me. I think were just going to get her a samsung infuse probably.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
what's your battery say? under settings>about phone> battery? is there an app at the top continuously using battery?

have you done a factory reset?

after dropping my unlimited data at verizon i figured i was pretty much screwed and any other company (AT&T and Sprint suck in DFW from my experience) it was gonna cost more for worse... I was pretty determined to get this plan working. i guess its the cheapo in me :)
[Networking] je44:
My experience was super simple……after reading up online prior to attempting.

Walked into T-Mobile store after seeing Wal-Mart did not have the SIM only activation kits. I paid 10$ for the kit after insisting to the Tmo store that I did not need them to set me up with anything.

Went home then plugged in the EMI,SIM & Activation code to the T-Mobile website. Funded the account and picked the plan… Done

(using Google voice for my number)

Did not have to talk with anyone and the whole process took maybe an hour.
[Networking] Greenturtle23:
My experience is delightful too. Since i read about ur post, i have little bit of scare about the walmart prepaid SIM card and Tmobile prepaid SIM card.

Luckily, I been into the shop so many time. All the employee know me, when i get in...they thought i getting the 49.99 value family plan, but i tell them i got the $30 prepaid plan from walmart but walmart run out of SIM card and was told to get one from Tmobile store. They had their time, they were very puzzle when i told them. But there is one experience lady went online and read about the plan, and surprisingly, she manage to figure thing out. One thing she mentions is "they had to activate the SIM card through the Tmobile website instead of their system" I think that is what saved me.

From my experience, if you going to let Tmobile employee do this, be sure they know what they are doing and you know what they are doing.

[Networking] manekineko:
I did this today, didn't have any problems at all activating.

Followed the discussion on Slickdeals on this, and bought my sim card from Amazon for less than free, like 2 something, and it came with 3 something of T-Mobile credit on it.

I went onto the T-Mobile online activations website, and activated my sim card on the 5GB $30 plan. To pay I bought a discount refill pin that came instantly from CallingMart.

Smooth sailing all around.
[Networking] iloveandroid16:

I'd love to do a deal like this. How do you get the phone? They go for over $500! I'm getting one via T-Mobile corporate rate and it's still twice that $30 rate for only 2gb data,unlim text and 500 talk! I'd much rather have the $30 5g data unlim text 100 min deal....
[Networking] Born_Immaculate88:
Quite the horror story indeed...can't help but wonder if you had waited for your original sim in the mail if you would have had all these issues...
[Networking] infinityhombre:
I really wish reps would read their email. But it may have been indirect you went to. This plan is only avalible at walmart and online. Tmobile retail stores have no way of activating this plan or switching you to it. If for some reason you change off of it there is no going back you will need to start again per the training materials provided by corporate. As for the number once a number is ported to tmobile no you cant port it again. They need to do a reuse request that can take up to 72 hours to complete. Glad its all working for you now and am very impressed you got prepaid to credit you anything.
[Networking] theyownus:
This must be the most helpful answer in the history of xda! You win!

Not as much trouble for sure, but remember after I received it I still ran into problems trying to activate online...
[Networking] kmandel:
Hotspot?

Can you get an Android phone to act as a hotspot with this plan?
[Networking] kikbuttcheerleader:
Dang, I feel for you man.

I didn't have to go through all that though.

I was already a T-Mobile customer out of contract. I seen that the prepaid plans were so much cheaper than the 95 something I was paying a month, so I switched over to prepaid.

All I did was pick up a prepaid phone from Target that was $30, popped the prepaid sim card into my Galaxy S2, and activated it online with the $30 web only offer.

No hassle whatsoever
[Networking] cbgthree:
Were you able to keep your old T-Mobile phone number, or did you need to activate with a new number?
[Networking] lamlux:
My ordeal was not as bad as yours (for which sounds like a hell of a time.)

I purchased a $30 dollar phone from Wal-Mart the night prior to the $30 dollar plan being released.

Then purchased outright a GS2 from the local T-Mobile store, activated the SIM card on the $30 dollar pre-paid phone, then called T-Mobile support to port the number over.

I was quoted 24-48 hours, I was previously on Virgin Mobile with a Triumph and realized this really takes like 5 minutes.

After 48 hours I called and complained, they told me, it'll port over soon, no worries.

Called 24 hours after that, demanded to talk to the 'porting department' if there is one, and I talked to someone who did it right then and there, right to the point where he told me to reboot the phone and voila, my number was ported. From then it took about 4 hours to get full service/data, and a full 24 hours before I could go in and edit settings/profiles and stupid WebGuard settings on T-Mobile.com

Here's to hoping T-Mobile stays afloat and the pre-paid plan, If I have to port again i'm going to literally just call directly to the port department.

We all learn from these things, but the $30 plan is sooo worth it.
[Networking] kabuk1:
I'm on an unlimited family plan with my best friend right now & we're splitting the $150 bill, but he's been seriously pissing me off lately & I'm thinking of just telling him to go to hell & switching to this plan. Are there free night & weekend minutes or mobile to mobile with this? If not I'm thinking I could get around that with google voice & GrooveIP. Hmm.......
[Networking] lamlux:
Unfortunately not, and I haven't dabbled with VOIP yet. I'll share what I find out :)
[Networking] djmasters:
Yeah, it kind of went like that for me too... I was a post-paid customer (on the old Even More Plus, 500 & UL text/data for $60) and they converted me to pre-paid, but I couldn't pick the WM plan online. I had to order a SIM kit and wait for it to get here. Supposedly WM won't sell just the activation kit (I cannot confirm or deny this, didn't try).

I was told the whole time that I could port my old T-Mobile number over once it was done. That was wrong, basically ran into the same problem the OP had... I would lose the WM plan if I did. Not a huge deal to email all of my friends with a new number and put a voice mail message on the old number, small hassle to cut my monthly nut in half.

Keeping on forum topic, my new SGSII is pretty sweet!!
[Networking] -Panik:
Something to consider, unless you have already cancelled your post account, is to port your number out to another service provider without picking up hardware (to avoid restock fees/wasting a store's on-hand stock) then giving the activations department a ring and having them port in your number from X to replace the "temp" number you have now with the WM plan.
[Networking] kabuk1:
D'oh! That's ok though I guess, I barely use 100 minutes a month as it is anyway, so this would just give me an excuse to be even more antisocial. And if the voip thing doesn't work, it'd still be worth it just for an extra 5 gigs of 4g(I'm already almost at 5 gigs, and I've still got 11 more days on my plan cycle). I bet the voip thing would work though, that's how I had my old galaxy tab set up. I signed into GrooveIP with my google voice ID & set it up to go over the data & wifi network. I used that for a phone for a while & I didn't have ANY minutes on that plan.... damn, I think I might get this plan just to test this 0.o
