HVGA is kinda the sweet spot now. It will make the phone that bit cheaper, let it run just that little bit more smooth, etc...

If you look at the 800x480 phones.. they are the more expensive WinMo phones. Android is ment to deliver more 'cheaper' smartphones.

The Sony Rachel is the weird one in the bunch, so I'm very curious how it works out :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Poke_N_PDA:
I've seen some talk that Cupcake only supported HVGA, which would make me think anything before that did too. Any people know android well and can answer this from a technical standpoint and not just educated guesses?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
Android itself supports basicly any resolution (though I think it has a minimum of 320x240 or something)....

... but there are some / a lot applications (some from the Market, some from Android itself) that expect 320x480 resolution and thus don't use the entire screen area (but work OK none the less).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] suisen:
and the capacative vs resistive screen thing, does that matter? or will Rachael be resistive?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
by keeping the system resolution consistent among devices, Google are trying to make it easier for Android developers to develop programs, as one program would run on all android devices.

Think about windows mobile

windows mobile: many devices with lots of different hardware and API's, an app developed with vga in mind wouldnt work very good with with wvga (makes life harder for developers)

so, in theory I would say consistent and similar hardware would make developing applications easier, and one application would run across all android phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I suspect that higher resolutions on such a small screen are not particularly well suited unless you have using a stylus, and the Android UI is optimized for touch control.

[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
Well HTC finally sent me my Cavalier back, the wifi wasn't working, so they replaced the entire main board, completely free of charge since it was under warranty.

Now the wifi and everything else works just fine WHOO HOO!!

Only thing is that rubber antenna cover (on the back) is missing, grrrr
[HTC Cavalier] pink101109:
advice??

hey bro,,, i got the same problem that you were having and i can't resolve it... i know you got your fixed by the company but is there anything else that you can have me try before i give up?? my s630 is out of its warranty period so i gotta keep trying
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
To be honest, I don't know why the wifi stops working, but HTC replaced the entire main board. Had my phone not been under warranty, they told me that it would have cost 385 dollars to repair it! And in that situation, you'd practically be better off just buying a new phone.

Which I could be of more help to you, but thats all the information that I've got!
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
Not sure if this is old information to you guys, but today I was able to get my location on google maps working on the Cavalier.

Here are the steps:

1. Turn on Wi-fi, (you don't have to connect to a network just make sure that wireless networks are AVAILABLE)

2. Run Google Maps and click the number "0" and VOILA my location within ____ meters :-D

I thought this was cool because you can get it even if you are not connected to a wireless network, I was on the road today and it was picking up lots of wireless networks (Secured and Non-secured) and it was working.

I imagine this wouldn't work in rural areas but it worked fine with me today in the city and in the suburbs!
[HTC Cavalier] macdat:
Surely this just works via GSM triangulation the way it always did ? Or am I missing the point ?
[HTC Cavalier] big ach:
No, it actually works via WI-FI triangulation instead.

For some reason, GSM or cellular tower triangulation does not work on the Cavalier

Hi

I was ussing HTC audio booster almost for last 1 1/2 year and it was working perfectly fine. Yesterday while trying to save the custome preset for equalizer it got corrupted and cease to work.

Now there are 2 issues

1) It starts even without connecting the headset (Shuld I conside it as a feature :confused: ). I can not change any seeting like bass,Trebble,3D surround. :(

2) The dropdown of the equalizer preset is empty. Also the equalizer setting screen is corrupted. No slider is vissible.

I feel this is either due to the corruption of the registry or may be due to the corruption of the configuration/setting file which audio booster uses to store

I have searched the registry as well as the file system with possible keys but not able to locate it.

can someone either provide me the location & default values for registry/config file or can provide me the sample config file/ registry settings.

I uses S2P as it is very convenient but infortunately it does not provide any sound enhancement fetures I totally depends on the audio booster. I have downloaded the WOW-HD and it is working fine also but I am missing the lack of the hardware equaliser support :(.

I have seen many brilliant chaps on this forum doing some exception work. I hope somebody will surely help me :)

Thanks & Regards

Have you tried reinstalling the program?
[General Topics] satishgosavi:
Hey mate,

It worked!!! Sincere thanks to you. I have reinstalled Audio booster. I not only got back the original sound effect but also got the fresh new light blue skin.

In that process I also tried the combination of the "SRS WOW HD" with audio booster. I can certainly tell you that the effect is awesome (u need to adjust few settings though)

Thanks a million LURKER & XDA. Long live

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Maldrien:
Hi guys, I am not sure if it's the place I should post this, if not mods plz move my thread to the appropriated message board.

Recently my phone fell off my desk head on. Right on the top of the phone. Now the button on/off is not functioning. I can still use the phone but as soon as it close the screen I can't light it up again. In the options I manage the let the screen open at all time but...

Bell is asking for a couple hundred bucks for repair or couple hundred to cancel my contract.

I was wondering if it was possible to some how make the camera button the on/off fonction.

I haven't open the phone yet (screws) to check the damage internally, I may be able to fix it but I doubt it.

I'll post pictures later tomorrow.

Do you guys have any ideas?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrono:
yes, check out AE button plus, you can't set it to power on the phone however you can set it to power the screen on and off. However to turn the screen on with a button other then the power button you must change the settings in key lock under settings/system/key lock you must set it do not lock buttons, otherwise no button will function, the only thing is that your call end buttons work as well.

get AE button plus

set whatever button to power on/off the backlight

disable key lock on screen power off

good luck :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Maldrien:
wow jeez thx.

I had a very hard time to find it for free so here's the cab
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hermeez:
Same thing happened to me. This is what I did and I fixed it.

1. Take the battery cover off

2. Look at where the power button is, if you look closely you will the the button "hinges on the right side"
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:
So i was using JACHero 2.63(the fastest of the Hero ROMs) and i still can't stand the lag. Before everyone suggests i format the card and make sure i have a linux-swap partition. I did that...and it is the fastest version i have found. But still to slow on certain things. There are times when i can't even see who is calling before the call is placed in voicemail.

But enough of that, i was wondering if anyone knows exactly why its so slow? I ran cat /proc/meminfo and free in terminal and if i remember correctly the same amount of ram was free on both JAC2.63 and JF1.51, there may have been a Mb difference but not something i thought would be a big deal. Now from what i have read i believe the HTC Hero has the same CPU but double the storage and memory. So i would think its a memory problem...but if both versions show the same amount of memory free wouldn't both be laggy as the other?

I maybe missing something but just wanted to try and see if i could get some answers.

Anyone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
More stuff is running in the background at all times in Hero ROMS than in JF ROMS. If you run a task manager you will see that there are alot more services running than in JF ROMS. Also Rosie runs in the background and uses alot of memory no matter how optimized because it searches for widgets. My only suggestion would be to like you said reformat sd card with the 3 partitions and also make sure you have a class 6 sd card. If it's still slow try cleaning up Rosie and modifying the build/removing all unnecessary widgets. There's a modified Rosie, 333kb compared to the ~600+ kb available at leakdroid.com :D Hope that helped.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:
Thanks, alritewhadeva i have some research to do. i'm not sure those tests are giving the right values. Your total is different then mine.

If they are correct i don't see why JF1.51 would be running much faster...the difference in memory doesn't seem like enough to cause lagginess...I could be wrong i guess...maybe those small amounts are huge in mobiles?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Linux will fill the memory as close to 100% used as it possibly can.. Things load faster from memory, so it keeps everything it possibly can in RAM. Free memory is wasted memory.

So as long as there isn't something grossly wrong with the memory management in a ROM, they should all be pretty similar when you look at "free."

The difference is, in a lighter ROM like JF or Cyanogen, more of the actual framework fits in RAM under normal use, so you can access it quickly. In Hero, the framework is larger so parts of it don't fit and get swapped out - causing lag.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:
That's what i was starting to think, thanks for the info Saiboogu.

ok, to make it easier to explain, I made a video. Sorry for talking so low.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQBEARaw9E

I recorded that with my G1, the "broken" G1 is my brothers.

We have a serious problem, we cannot exchange it, we bought it last week and since we bought it has been having problems. We were going to take it to the store and then yesterday morning, it was like that, it was working "fine" at night. The problem is that we took it to the store, and the "dot" behind the battery is red, which "means" it got wet... but it didn't, I'm not going to lie, it didn't get wet my brother has taken care of that phone more than anything, it still has all the plastic protectors, even if the phone was acting really weird...

Ok ok, to the point. It doesn't do anything, as you saw in the video, when you press the power button the buttons flash until I depress it, and then they just stay on. The same happens when I try going into recovery, or bootloader modes, nothing... I decided to leave it like that for a few hours, nothing.

Either the device is bricked, the screen is damaged, or the whole device is screwed.... What do you guys think??

Thanks in advance.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velazcod:
Yes we did get it directly from a (official) T-Mobile store (not a 3rd party retailer).. we went there and they complained about the phone "getting wet"... the phone looks perfect and never gotten wet.

I am going to argue, I already started arguing by calling tmobile directly but they *****ed about why didnt i take the phone within the 14-day warranty if it was giving me issues and waited for this to happen....... they couldn't do anything, whatever, I'm going to try to take this further because, just like you, I can assure you my phone hasn't gotten wet.

Can you help me an send me a picture of your phone? So I could have some proof, my own phone's dot is white, and some other phones from friends/family are also white...

So I had to get a new one by claiming the insurance ($130 deductible.....) there was no win for me here...... the only thing was that I was able to keep the damaged phone.

I called HTC to try and figure out how much it would be to fix it. The lady that answered the phone said the symptoms were like those of a bad motherboard, and she said it'd cost me around $475 to fix it, wait, what??.....

So, know, idk what to do with this crap. I might try to repair it.

[General Questions and Answers] trevorwhopkins:
I have seen several posts on xda and ppcgeeks about the tp2 hitting sprint on the 25th, and its mostly brushed off as more rumor hype... which I understand with Sprint. I had a Curve forever, waiting for the Tour, and gave up for the Touch Pro. (Good decision, I laughed at the Tours browser when I saw it.)

Anyhow, a Sprint rep (ya ya I know) on the phone tried very discreetly to tell me that in two weeks would be a great time to go looking for the TP2. I just played stupid and said Tmobile had a newer version of my phone and I wanted to know if Sprint got it. They said no announcement, I said well I'm gonna go ahead and get the Tmobile one then, and the guy repeatedly said not to "do anything just yet" and to " call back intwo weeks and I'ld have better luck. I said forget that, does that mean they'll know a date then or what? And he said no no, no date, just CALL BACK. He said they will do major advertising too though, which isn't really what TP had, and with the pre getting mentioned every time you push a key on customer service, thats suspect. Anyway, just passing word.

I'm about to burn the sprint store down if they don't tell me something soon.

My TP is looking its age, and I hate how fat it is, and I want a bigger screen.

Is anyone else majorly dissappointed its not WM7 ready, and doesnt have a 3.5 jack on it though? Figure that new HD will.

Hi all, sometimes when I access the an individual contact's call history touchflo will just crash, restart and send me back to the home screen after it has loaded.

I've tried a hard reset of my stock rom and then changed to a cooked rom (the Topaz ESSentiaL 6.1 rom - very nice btw :D) but the problem persists after about a day or 2, although it seems to be less frequent with the cooked rom. It also doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount or types of calls in the call history - i added a new contact with some made up number that i had no communication with but it has crashed when accessing it's individual call log, and sometimes it crashes with contacts that i have had frequent communication with. But as I've said, it's only occasionally and not every time so I really don't understand.

Anyone with similar problems or any advice? Apologies if this has been discussed before, I did a search but couldn't find anyone with my specific problem.
