[Touch HD General] kauka187:
Its happened a couple of times now where when im using the touchflo full qwerty keyboard its stuck on the symbols view and i cant change it anywhere to go back to the letters view. it happend once on the stock rom and now on duttys 1.5rom as well. i have fixed it by leaving it overnight with the battery out in case anyone still has this problem (60 secs with the battery out didnt seem to work) but im looking to prevent this from happening again so was hoping someone in the community knew of any fixes etc

cheers
[Touch HD General] nickallison:
If it's the same problem, disabling T9 in the options in HD Tweak seems to work for a few people. Worked for me.
[HTC Startrek] ltepperson:
I have flashed my cingular 3125 to a WM 6.1 ROM that has the sliding panels by Erofich (thank you for the wonderfull roms I have 2 Cingular 3125's) for some reason i cant install much of anything to it. i tried to install a neo theme "freddy shadow neo theme but it wont show up. it does work on the ROM with neo i installed on the other phone. I also tried WM 6.1 menu customation app and the WM 6.1 slide photo dialer...neither work. Is there something I need to do to get things to work? Thanks for any advice!

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Is there a software that can remind us how long we have been chatting on the phone? For example on the 10th min it will beep once or something like that.

Hi anyone, my little cousin broke my LCD screen. Anyone had a faulty uni and want to sell the lcd please respond to this thread or PM me. Im quite tight on the budget so I dont need a new LCD as new LCD will cost almost the same as 2nd hand Uni in the market. However if anyone could sell me for a cheap price then i dont mind. Thanks

I have a Shift that I haven't used since I bought it. While its the coolest device I've owned, my company's internal software doesn't play well with the Shift so I find myself always leaving it at home. So, I'm cutting my losses.

It is in prefect shape.

It was bought new from dynamism (I had a good experience w/them, BTW).

I may be able to find the box, but I'm certain that I have lost the leather case in some airport.

I'll reset it to factory fresh. Save $500.00 over new, and only you will know its not new.

I'm asking $450.00 + the freight of your choice.

Thanks

Cal

waw.. a month ago it would have been perfect for me !

I have tried to find it in US but unable to find any :( ... I have now order one for about $1500 which is 3 times more than what you are selling.... pffff so sad :( .. and the worst is that I still haven't received it yet !
[Shift General] cal:
Sorry dude. You can always cancel your order :) Thanks anyway.
[Shift General] koala996:
I know I can (even if they have already taken the money) but I'm in Belgium and my brother was in US a month ago, now he is here and will not go back to US.

I might come to US in some months... but I hope I will get the one I order before coming to US loooooooool

still praying to get it this week ..... I want to make things move around !

I haven't reacted about your issue... but have you tried with Windows 7 or Windows XP? It's weird that the company's internal software is not working fine with the shift... I think that there should be some hopes for you (have you tried ReadyBoost?) and it could be fine for you to enjoy the shift.
[Shift General] koala996:
if I got mine in some days, I can show it to all my colleagues and maybe someone would be interested by a so cheap device with all those advantages ... so let's tune in :)
[Shift General] i00:
wow they are expensive in the US .. i got mine in australia for $712 AUD (501.8176 U.S. according to google (search phrase 712 aud in usd))
[Shift General] ssn04:
Which US Carrier?

I was wondering if you have been using the unit on AT&T or T-Mobile - and if you could comment on your experience with either of those two carriers.
[Shift General] EJMP79:
Hi! I'm interested... I send you a PM!! Please reply Thanks!!!
[Shift General] Scrtcwlvl:
I am also interested, planning to use this in conjunction with my Touch Pro.

Have been looking to get a Shift for a while now.

Now that my funds have cleared, actually looking to do something with them now.

How long ago did you buy it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cheesy Dave:
I've hit the 14 stock quote limit on the stock Tab in TF3D.

Does anyone know how to extend this ? (I have searched but find no one else with this problem)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
same request for the 99 mails and the 25 sms's
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ddriver:
I have now 16 Tabs on TF3D. ;-)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cheesy Dave:
Care to elaborate ?

What is the 16th Tab ? I have your/Singh's 15 Tab extension.

I would be curious about the 16th Tab function.

I did not know about the limits also on email and SMS's. The email limit does not worry me as I clear emails out regularly. The SMS limit of 25 seems very low. And, the stock limit of 14 is a pain.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ddriver:
I add this one also. ;-)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
we're talking about another thing: not the number of tabs, but the number of items contained in the tab.

Dave, dunno for stocks, since i dont'use it, but the mails and sms's limit is a mere 3d limit: i have 2000 sms's, but can scroll only the last 25 withing tf3d environment; to see older ones i have to click "all". Same for mails.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cheesy Dave:
Hmmm - looks useful. I'm not too sure how to add it myself - probably will wait for some kind person to cab it.

How about a new idea - two lines of smaller Icons in TF3D - with 16 (and 15) Tabs it is no quite a long swipe to get from first to last !!

hi!

how to setup hotmail account with TIM branded HD?

there is a simple guide on how to do it?

thx everyone! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] AntoCorsa:
Mettiti la no brand :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JohnQ:
go to windowsmobile.com and find the HOW-TO section
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blackwalker:
.....................
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blackwalker:
ok, i check the "how-to" section but i'm still a little confused..sorry!

if i check on ActiveSync email, then i check "from pc to mobile device" and

start sync, what happen?

1) only the email address'll be copied into the device?

2) all the email accounts info/setup and also all

the emails 'll be copied into the device?

or i have to setup my email accounts first on my mobile device?

i'd like also to know if they'll be copied into my memory card or no!

somone?

thx! :D

Does anyone have ROM kitchen for the Samsung i900... I just got one today as a replacement for my XDA Orbit 2 (a bit peeved that I didn't get the same phone back) and would like to alter a few bit and streamline the ROM on the phone at the moment....

There's too much junk loaded on the phone as standard and you can't remove it via uninstall!...

I'd appreciate any help I can get on this....
[Shift Development] kakemann:
I'm having problems when syncing between wm6 and vista. I have a liberated WMo with Gullums new ROM.

The only time I managed to sync was the first time. When I connect using USB tool it connects as it should but it stops in the middle of the syncronization. Vista and WMo tells me that the syncronization was stopped, but I didn't stop anything.

I use a simcard and 3G so Joy.d gave me advice that I should soft reset WMo and don't enable 3G. I tried this but it didn't help.

Does anyone have some other suggestions?

Thanks
[Shift Development] i00:
i always click "disconnect from vista" then "connect to vista" rather than just "connect to vista" I have found this to be more stable .. no idea why :S

Kris
[Shift Development] kakemann:
Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what you mean.

Where is this option?
[Shift Development] kakemann:
Ok, got it!

You mean in the USB tool?

I tried this too, but it didn't help.

its a strange problem
[Shift Development] Killbillprime:
Hi mate

issue could also be on device centres end as well.

Try to uninstall device centre restart your machine and snapview

and then reinstall device centre

may fix the problem may not- hopefully it does.
[Shift Development] centronics:
I think with gullum rom, you must off your modem in communication manager to syncronization using USB tool

Hello

Somebudy can tell me how to use Ramdisk? I can use ramdisk on my htc univesal, de ramdisk is intal and see it like a storange with 31mb of free space, but it don´t work for cache net files ou other things

The ramdisck can be used like a virtual ram? 20mb of free program memory is a litlle bit to work in some programs.
[G1 General] daveid:
First.. I did search, don't want my first post to be slammed for not using the search function. But did not find anything that seemed relevant.

I am trying to store some ringtones in my /data partition, I created a directory called "/data/media/audio/ringtones" and placed an mp3 file in it, restarted phone - nada.

I then removed the /system/media/audio/ringtones directory and made a symbolic link to my /data/media/audio/ringtones directory, the link worked and I thought I would be golden. But alas, the mp3 did not show in my listing of ringtones.

I know I can clear up some space on the /system partition, but then if I do an update I would have to copy all my ringtones back over again. As opposed to just creating a new symlink.

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to accomplish what I was attempting to do.

Also, I guess my reasoning behind this... I have multiple SD cards, and have recently learned that even if the dir structure on them is identical (besides what music/videos I have) when I swap cards my ringtones get stupid. Stupid meaning they get cross-referenced, switched to other ringtones, set to "unknown", etc. So I would like to have them on the internal memory, and the /data partition makes the most sense as it would not be wiped with an update.

Thanks for any info you can provide, I am of course willing to try just about anything.

Dave
[G1 General] djind:
Maybe the app Rings Extended is something to try?
[G1 General] daveid:
tried it, only allows access to the system media directory and the sd card, or sound recordings.
[G1 General] LGSilva:
The default ringtones are "hardcoded" on the system and the wallpapers as well.

So in order for you to get the phone to read those ringtones you'll need to recompile some files...
[G1 General] unknown.soul:
I made my own custom update.zip with my ringtone and notification sound (they must be .ogg format)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443041
[G1 General] daveid:
yeah, so I ended up removing a few stock apks (amazon & email, considering IM, but read somewhere that it could cause issues, so I left it for now) and put my ringtones onto the system partition. I will just have to edit and resign any future updates, till I find another solution. I am going to send an email to the author of Rings Extended to see if they can make it read a directory on the data partition.

Hi,

I tried to turn the speaker on when the Kaiser was charging on the car adapter. I had not the bluetoth head-set on. The bottom on the screen was ok, but it was not possible to turn on the speakers. Is this behaviour correct?

Thanks for Your advice!
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
1. I was playing with my G1 and realize that some of the aplication don't have a close option and stay loaded in the background with no way to close it unless you reboot your phone.

2. The G1 player is good but not as good as can be for the type of phone we have. I bought a HTC 3 in 1 adapter and a vent mount for my car, so I can listen to mp3 in the car. But the screen keep turning off after 1 minute and then you have to push menu 2 times to see the player again (thats in case you don't have the cell locked). It will be nice to have a player with an option to keep the screen on all the time if the device is conected to a external power source, in this way will be less distraction when driving (My point is that we need a more car friendly Music Player. Another thing the player does not have is a search function through the playlist that you can type the song with the keyboard.

I will be happy to donate or pay for aplications like this that do what they are supouse to do
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
2. settings - applications - development - stay awake (screen will never sleep when charging)
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
heh but we still need a "task manager" of sorts. sure you can goto terminal do ps get process id then kill it. BUT i work @ a very dirty job and try not to use my kb. also it would be cool to have the program tell you detailed info like if its transmitting or recieving. there are a few first gens in the market like pservices and sys monitor but u cant do andthing besides look
[G1 Android Development] lu_tze:
There is no task manager and that is intentional. The life cycle of an android application is supposed to be managed by the OS, not by the user. The OS will kill the application process whenever it needs resources used by the sleeping application (it will ask the application, what data it needs to save, so it can be restored to exactly the same state it was left in). At most, you can choose how many processes the OS should try to keep (1-4).
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
Thanks for the tip it will same me alot of distraction while driving and using the G1 as mp3 player. But the player still can be better and have better features I think.
[G1 Android Development] OrdeS:
Ideally there would be no need for task manager, yes.

But... In real world use especially with many apps being poorly developed and buggy, I agree task manager is disparately needed.
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
I didn't now that, but still we should be able to kill aplication when we want to, you know as we wish.
[G1 Android Development] gospeed.racer:
makes me wonder why the people writing the apps don't put in an exit button more often. Of everything I have downloaded I think ONE has an exit button. Sure would be nice! Android can manage the stuff if it feels it needs to, but there is no reason PacMan or the Fart Machine need to stay running:D
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
yes but some process' dont close take myspace or pacman etc. they are huge memory hogs. Android might close applications when it feels like resources are at the limit but should anybody have to deal with the delays and lags... of programs that dont close that you want to. ????. Take this senerio into account since most of us has used a WM phone do you want your phone to be locking up at 100% cpu usage and have Huge Delays when Home screening takes 5 seconds to rebuild the desktop or more? NO nobody does.... weather android was not built with a task manager or not it can and does and will kill processes but how hard is it to add those options to a small little app if someone is willing to take the time to do so If it is not for you when it is made by all means you dont need to use it. this could also lead to a sort of tcp/udp stream tracker and blocker for those whom pay by MB as i have seen in another forum the guy had $132 dollar Data bill only visiting Europe.

i didnt read this then the "task manager" maybe could force it to sleep. Save info and force it to unload Services and Resources.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Download powermanager instead...
[G1 Android Development] Meeker:
Locale works as well, but I have to admit, Power Manager works best out of the box though I would admit
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
And tunewiki is pretty good to, make sure you turn the lyrics option off, this will kill your battery life..
[G1 Android Development] vitriolix:
what people don't seem to understand is you will often be slowing down your user experience if you manually quit applications. The way the OS is designed, it freezes idle applications and keeps them around as memory (dropping them as soon as it needs the memory for something else), so the next time you launch the app, chances are if its a commonly used app it will still be around. this is now your laptop, having users manually manage tasks will in most cases degrade their overall experience.
[G1 Android Development] donutman:
You guys are thinking in terms of Windows. That won't work with the AndroidOS.
[G1 Android Development] OrdeS:
OK lest just assume that since this is Android OS all the applications are going to behave in a perfect and consistent manner. :rolleyes:

I do understand how the memory management was designed and its a nice idea nevertheless. The issue is with code that doesn't play nice and lets be honest the market is full of half done apps and there will be more as time passes.

We need a way to force quit apps in those specific cases that apps misbehave and the system is not aware of it.

[G1 Android Development] OrdeS:
Can you kill processes if not a super user ?

I can whip up an UI for kill if so.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Nope u can't.....
[G1 Android Development] joshtheitguy:
No, but theoretically shouldn't it be possible for a kill app to just run the command as root?
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
yes u can kill by id
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Yeah, wasn't that the whole point of the Superuser app? To allow certain apps to run as root while being able to disallow potentially malicious ones?
[G1 Android Development] diabolical28:
you can infact kill id.... ive done it in shell. i have threads posted in 4 threads about a task manager but what they all basically say is i work in a really dirty job and try to avoid using my kb @ at costs so a gui would b awesome....

secondly in reality who cares how fast a program runs the next time i run it say once every few days if the program is hogging 1/4 my system resources... this example is bad but makes the point clear.... Adobe caches many programs in memory so that the next time they run those programs load faster but who cares if i dont use them very often. then all it is doing is slowing down my entire system because i keeps certain things loaded. so overall its ruining my whole exp. because i might run those programs sometimes this week or mmay not. if u hold your home button sure you see the most recent say messaging or system settings open but you also see programs i ran along time ago that keep services open listening for updates,mail,msgs etc like i said if you dont want to use it dont... but if someone does make a nice gui to close etc. you got a number of ppl here who would like it and will be happy to have it
[G1 Android Development] DrStinkbomb:
I own a Herald and I've been on the fence about getting a G1. The other day we took my son to Karate lessons and there was a guy there using his G1. I got a conversation going with him about the phone and my interest in buying one, so he started showing it off to me... It lagged ugly. When he was swiping his finger to bring up the menu, the menu jerked and slugged it's way up the screen. Everything he pressed was slow to respond and just plain laggy. Now he said that he bought the phone when it first came out, and I asked if he had gotten the updates and he said he's never updated it.

So my question - is it probable that his laggy device was the result of an too many old resource hogging apps sitting in memory? Or is it likely that he needed a firmware upgrade? (I thought the upgrades were forced and automatic??) Or does everyone see this from time to time and the phone just needs a reset?

I'm very interested in getting the device, and I'm just curious if this is the behavior that you see as a result of not having a task manager.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
My g1 is pretty quick. The only time I notice lag is if I use the browser and go to a website that has tons of javascript.

But then again, I don't have many apps that run in the background.

It could be that the guy has a ton of background apps running that could slow down the device. The lag is probably due to all the apps being swapped from storage (internal flash) to RAM and vice versa.

The g1 actually has a lot of internal RAM, 192mb. As a comparison, the iphone only has 128mb of ram. Of course, apple doesn't allow 3rd apps to run in the background and maybe that is the reason.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
He most likely had a ton of text messages. Having more than a couple hundred texts does that to the phone, once you delete them it speeds up WONDERS.

Will the phone be that laggy stock? No. Is the phone that laggy without all those text messages? No.
