Gmail Browser vs. Gmail App

Not sure, anyone understood my question.

I personally think that the Gmail App is actually completely obsolete. Especially when you think that it doesn't allow you to download certain attachments.

The mobile browser gmail interface is - amazing. So why have an extra application running when you can only login to gmail offline with your browser? Since the Gmail App is not integrated into the TouchFlo interface anyways?

The questions remains, why the mobile browser interface (after you click on the "faster gmail" link is not doing what it is supposed to be doing aside from having an entry mail.google.com in the gears settings of your browser?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I use Google Apps for Domains. I hadn't tried to log into my mail via the web browser, but I just tried it today.

When I logged in, I was given a message that an update was available that would was faster and would allow me to compose and read email offline. I accepted the update, which appears to be a Gears update, so it looks like it is probably working fine.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankiee:
I did the same thing and when you look into your advanced browser settings you can see that gears now seems to be configured for mail.google.com. The questions remains though, if you can login offline to your apps or non-apps gmail account? I haven't been able to....

I custom compiled Busybox and detailed how to put it on your Hero, which enables Swapper (I'm using it now with a swap partition).

I have a few quick questions being a newby... lol

Where do we run the above commands, recovery mode or from the command prompt while the hero is switched on???

Im having a problem ither way, it says permission denied.... :-( and I am rooted 100% so im pretty sure that is not the case...

When I write adb remount, it says "remount failed: operation not permitted"

The push command works,

but then the last command adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/" gives me a permission denied...

Also do we have to have out sd card formated with a fat32, ext2, and swap partition for this to work??

Any help is appreciated!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] frax:
Hiya,

I was out travelling, with my Kaiser and my three batteries - unexpectedly two of them died in humid weather, and I thought the phone had died totally too. It refused to boot up even when plugged in, or it got into a strange reboot loop.

Now back home, one battery is working as it should, but the other two are totally dead - but they seem to charge ok (in my external charger).

Has anyone seen this? Is there any point in trying to revive these battery?

Next step: check with a voltmeter if they respond, and also clean the terminals...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Are the batteries older than a year?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] frax:
They are about a year old... Maybe less than that, and I have rotated between them fairly well, but they have been travelling around in my messenger bag when not in use (and there is a lot of other junk in there...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Good idea if they've been floating around in a messy storage bag. Lithium Ion batteries come with built in protection circuitry so if, for example, a staple has shorted between the terminals then the diagnosis for the battery will probably be terminal. Cleaning them with contact cleaner or IPA and testing them in a known good phone is about the best thing you can do in an attempt to 'revive' them. Good luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Try connecting all of the batteries together inline, then attach them to a bit of this cable and then attach that to a kite. You'll need to wait for a thunderstorm to fly the kite but with any luck, lighting shall strike the kite, thus recharging the batteries.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] frax:
I just cleaned the terminals of the batteries with a dry q-tip, and that did it, back to life, and working ok! (they have seen quite intensive usage, so they are not 100%, but now they work as they did before)
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
Hi,

I have read and tried what I could find, but it does not work on my Jade.

Are there any new ideas how to keep the screen from swithching off?

Joe

This is copied from the Jade Manual:

Call functions

When a call is in progress, tap the available buttons on the Phone screen to put a

call on hold, dial another contact for a phone conference, enter notes about the

conversation, and more.

None of the above is possible because the screen disappears by itself.

Do HTC know about it? This seems to be a major f...up.
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
This problem has been discussed in many threads, there is no real solution. :mad:

If you activate the speaker for hands-free immediately after connecting the screen keeps on.
[Touch 3G General] DJHicks:
on mine the screen goes off... but if i press one fo the direction buttons it comes back on and stays on so i can use the keypad or look at contacts etc
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
Thank you guys.

I will try to contact HTC because I think this is a major fault. There is no access to those Call Functions if the screen disappears.

But people should also have the choice of switching the screen off to conserve battery during long conversations. That should be one of the Call Functions.

I tried to bring the screen back by pressing the OK button, but instead it ended the call. So why do we need the END button ?? Poor HTC. They are in front of themselves. Ever producing new half-baked models without thinking it properly out.

I have not tried the < or > buttons, but it would be risky because usually the OK button gets activated as well.

Has anybody on any HTC forum tried to petition HTC? I think this issue would be a nice one for a petition.

Joe
[Touch 3G General] DJHicks:
you say you dont want the screen to switch off but u dont want the < and > active?

tring to understand what you want/dont want here?

if i press < or > the screen comes on fully functional...
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
I did not say I did not want the < > keys active. I don't care what those keys do because I don't use them. The reason is that when I use them, I always inadvertently activate the Enter button. On my phone that terminates the call - the same as the End key.

It would be nice (and even logical) to have the Enter (OK) button to wake up the screen instead of the directional buttons. Maybe there is a registry tweak to do that.

Joe
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
I think it's about getting used to and familiarising with the intended design and button functions. Now after nearly 12 months using Jade I have no complaints. Even using phone banking, no problem with inputting the required numbers. :cool: Concur with MvBoe and DJHicks. It should also be acknowledged that this is 80% PDA and 20%phone (roughly).
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
:):):)

I was playing with the < and > keys to try to bring the screen back on, and I can definitelly tell you it does not work on my phone.

While doing that, I accidentally pressed the Power on/off switch - and voilá - the screen came back on and stayed on.

I repeated the experiment to confirm it.

Why didn't I think of it earlier? So obvious.

Joe
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
Good for you Joe. I suppose many other Jade users are already using that method. I thought you knew it already but wanting something more simpler. :)

Hi azadhidi

correct me if im wrong is this not the only method to wake ur phone while making a call ie pressing the power button:D
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
Also with other buttons if you set your phone to wake up with all buttons. See item #10 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=476493
[Touch HD General] aidinali:
Hi guys ,

I recently have done a hard-reset , and now I need to import Rss channels which all have been stored on the storage card .

How can I re-active and add all of them to my fresh Rss hubs Application .

Any help ? Any idea ?
[Touch HD General] PJMDS:
Menu, Options, tab Storage, select the litle box "Store all data and podcast on the card", rss will ask you if you want to overwrite the files on the storage card just say no, have fun ;)
[Touch HD General] aidinali:
thanks PG ,

I have done this with no effect .

strangely all of the previous channel

data exists there (on storage card ) and

yet ,there is no link between them and the new

application !

how can re-build this connection ?

any thoughts ?
[Touch HD General] PJMDS:
Backup the old data to a pc or another folder.

Choose for RSS Hub to use the storage card and add some channels, close rss hub, now look at the card with explorer to check if it created another folder with the new files, if yes than you just need to use the same folder structure, delete the new files and put there your old ones.

The path on my card is Storage Card\Program Files\RSS Hub\ChannelData

Last resort is to use your old Channels.opml (check inside you old data), import the feeds with Rss Hub, you just lose the info if you have or not read the feeds and any RSS Files marked as downloaded.

Good luck

I'm now running a hero rom, and I need to edit some files in /system/bin in particular user.conf and a2sd. I managed to move it from phone to sd, but I'm afraid that editing and saving the files by notepad is not right. when I save the file with notepad, they became text file and the icon changes for the phone too. which sw I should use in order to leave the format unchanging?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulife:

When you go to save the file, rather than saving as a text file, choose "all files" in the drop down box. I hope that's right, haven't used a windows computer in ages =D
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
The notification box comes up, but only for a while. After that there is only the single line on Home screen.

Is there a fix to keep it until manually dismissed?

Joe
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
You mean the "Miss call notification" icon at the top bar? It stays there until you open up call history, and see the missed call.
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
No, azahidi, I did not mean that.

When I miss a call, I get "1 missed call" text on the Home screen in the line above the Calendar. The green LED also flashes. That stays on until I do something.

About 3 seconds later, a large white notification box appears at the bottom. That only stays for several seconds and disappears. I would like it to stay until I dismiss it.

For older people, using the phone without reading glasses, the larger the notification the better. With my distance glasses on, it is not that easy to see the icons. Specially outdoors.

Anyway, this is not very important, but if it was possible to do, I would do it.

Joe
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
Sorry Joe, I musunderstood you. Now I understand what you wish. I am not sure if that's possible at all. I customised the "Missed Call" icon at top bar to be in bright red round background.. a bit better than white.
[Touch 3G General] jfranek:
I suppose I will have to get used to the flashing LED.

Can it be made to flash faster?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Hi all on the last week some friends ask me to make some simple apps using the Accelerometer from HTC and other. I'm still up my neck whit work but some simple app's came true. So heres one...

Gforce Push v0.01

This one is really simple but me and my friends enjoy driving whit it all the time.

Atm all he does is...

First put your devise in landscape mode (it will return to normal in the end)

Prevents backlight Dim and Standby (it will return to normal in the end)

show Total (x/y) Gforce in the big Blue center label

show Total (x/y) Gforce in the bar on the right (scale can be selected on the options menu)

show direction of Gforce(or movement if you invert x/y in the options menu)

show update rate on the red label

show other debug stuff on the green label (x, y , angle and battery)

atm Auto Calibrate is not working reasonably well so don't use it.

How to use it....

I dint make a instaler so yoiu have to copy the files to your devise manually and the open

"Push" folder must be put in the device memory root!!!

To go to options just touch the label "Options"

to go back to main just touch the label "Main"

to manually calibrate click the right button on the Dpad

to close the app click the center button on the Dpad

Skins...

All image's can be change but for the moment don't use different sizes

To do list...

Make config file to save preferences and path for the "img" folder.

Put Auto Calibrate more reliable

Release v0.01

http://rjsmsampaio.googlepages.com/Pushv0.01.rar

Thats it for 3 days of work.

Plz do comment.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bobogreat:
Hi Ikari, I have downloaded your application. I'll tell you my experience after I tested it on my HTC phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bobogreat:
Maybe I didn't test it in the right way, the arrow didn't point to the right direction that the phone was moving or accelerating. Nice arrows though.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
The Blackstone does not have multitouch. You need a capacitive screen for multitouch to function, and so far only HTC's Android phones are using them... Windows Mobile currently only "officially" supports resistive touchscreens.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] hyellow:
A capacitive isn't multitouch by default right? Just a screen with higher sensitivity allowing for better interaction with the finger. Please prove me wrong, as I'm longing for the Leo, wich is rumoured to have capacitive screen, but nothing is mentioned about multitouch. And, the OS should support multitouch too, wich is a feature we are only going to see when windows mobile 7 arrives.... unless the guys from redmond have a surprise for us.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Brunkage:
Topaz Keyboard Controller GSM v1.3.2 works with hardware keys.

Okay if you enable Polling Method in Global Settings in morphgear and then install Topaz Keyboard Controller GSM v1.3.2 (search for it on this site) then you can use your hardkeys to play your games. You just have to mount your hardkeys to Up, Down, Left, Right, Page Up, Page Down - These are buttons Morphgear can use. You don't have to mount the volume buttons - morphgear can control them from start.

It takes a little bit getting used to but i have mounted right to Back button and Left to Hang-Up button and A and B button to volume buttons. So you can play the games with hardkeys only... :) And btw thats if you play games in landscape.

Remember to add the keys with Direct Key Mapping in the keyboard controller and do not mount you buttons to any letters or else it won't work...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] player911:
The blackstone doesn't have a capacitive screen... but with some trickery they got a "multitouch" kinda setup. Basically hidden buttons between the virtual dpad and the virtual buttons... so that when you touch Right + A... it would hit the hidden button in the middle that just output "right + A".

Capacitive screens are whole different beasts then resistive. Capacitive screens are more sensitive because they don't require pressure like resistive screens. It works by using your finger to charge electrons in the screen or something. The downside is that a typical stylus won't work on Capacitive screens. Capacitive screens also support multiple touch inputs on the screen at any given time, but I forget how many max inputs the iPhone senses at once (3 maybe or 4).

This isn't working on the Topaz because the screen is smaller, thus the hidden buttons are smaller, thus harder to hit. It would probably work properly if the hidden buttons were enlargedd a hair.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] crow_mw:
The hidden buttons are smaller, but they still work. Sure, you need to be precise with your fingers, but that was the case on Blackstone too. It didn't take me long to get used to it. Plus, when you just need certain combinations you can always bind keys to 'back' and 'volume down' hard keys. Note (again) however, that you must disable the HTC keyboard for that to work !!

As a side note - for some time I have switched away from TESS ROM to	X-Treme ROM. Not only the menu started to display properly (there are some glitches when using TESS) but also the sound emulation started to work. The drop in FPS was slight but noticable. I am now using TESS again, but with WinMo 6.5. While the menu is still glitched as hell, the sound works too. Just make sure to:

1) Enable sound in global settings

2) Enable sound in SNES settings

3) Enable Emulation in SNES settings

4) Restart MorphGear
