[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skauk:
I just got my t mobile G1 today (It should have been the G2 but they sent the wrong phone and then agreed to give me a discount on my line rental if I kept it).

So what I want to know is....

what should I do with it to make it some use eg exchange sync. I know there is a big scene for ROMs just like there was for my previous phone WM6.1.

But I am not very familiar with linux or Android OS and dont want to kill it on the first day, but want to increase the usability.

Not trying to be an ass but your best solution would be to start reading and understanding everything instead of asking questions that have been asked over and over.

don't mind him ----^ he's an ass. but he's a correct ass, look through the guides and take your time. There's a lot to learn but you will be so much better off if you learn about it before doing it. It's so much better if you can tell people about how it works rather than "i dunno, XDA said so"

Hi, I want to keep the english GUI language of my G1, but sometimes I have to send SMS in spanish, is it possible to change only the language of the dictionary for SMS prediction without changing the language of the gui?

Hi Guys,

I've just been checking out the Xperia section of the forum - i'm tempted to grab one of these and i'm interested to see how the Panels interface works. Looks pretty sleek on the youtube vids ive just been looking at.

I've noticed that TF3D has been ported to the Xperia, i was just wondering if anyone has tried the other way round - porting the Xperia Panels to the diamond? I'm guessing the screen resolution is a barrier for this?

Cheers

Paul

Does anyone have a decent Google maps icon?

The standard one is too low resolution to look good on manilla 2.5 home tabs and the only other decent one I can find is the iPhone one which I don't want.

I remember Dutty having an good one on one of his ROM's but that was a while back.

Hello

I'm just wondering if there is an app that can turn on Mobile Network only when i'm sending MMS. I dont want to have Mobile network on all the time because i'm travelling alot to other countries and there the GPRS is to expensive.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] woobit:
Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile network

This will disable any internet connection, but will allow MMS.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licenced:
I did a search for this but only found a thread talking about playing iTunes AAC files.

I have an Orange branded Hero and have replaced the SD card that came with it with a Sandisk 16GB Class 2 card (bought before I realised that there were such things as Class 4 or Class 6 cards).

When playing music with the default music player, each new track will usually stutter for the first five or ten seconds. This seems less apparent, and sometimes doesn't occur at all, if the phone has recently been rebooted, but if I use my phone during the day the stuttering will be occurring when listening on my commute home. Sometimes I even get stutters mid-song!

All my music is in MP3 format, mostly 192kbps, and the SD card is mostly filled with this content (500MB free).

Is this down to the Hero itself - do others have the same problem. Or is it down to the Class 2 card?

I tried TuneWiki, which didn't have any stuttering, but would constantly hang at the start of each track after the phone had locked itself - I had to press the Home button to wake it up so it would progress to the next song.

I really love this phone, but the stuttering is driving me bonkers. I'm considering buying an iPod it's that bad! Any help very greatly appreciated.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felikz:
I have the same problem, but not as bad as you have. The phone seems to be overloaded...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licenced:
I _think_ the stuttering may be worse when travelling (i.e. on my commute) - maybe the phone is doing a lot of work maintaining the signal quality between cells and getting it back after going through a tunnel.

I tried briefly turning off GPS and Mobile Network access to see if it helped, but it was inconclusive. I don't have time to mess around testing what helps - I really shouldn't have to in a device this expensive :-)

I'm really hoping the rumoured update being released soon resolves this issue.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Hi!

I would like to know if it is possible to have *only* "phone" and "SIM" contact types and prevent them being synced to google account.

Thanks, Nikos
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboywilson:
Its possible to show only phone and sim contacts on phone if thats what you mean?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suisen:
well, you can go to Settings - Data Syncronization - Google - untick Contacts

also in People press Menu - View and choose which you like shown in People app, and which to ignore, so even if you did sync Google contacts, you can still pretend they are not there :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Thank you for your replies. But what I really mean is _not_ to sync to Google contacts. I want to keep everything local and disable, if possible, Google syncing completely.

Isn't there any advanced address book which would manage all contacts exclusively on the phone?

So far I haven't found any.

Thanks again, Nikos
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suisen:
well, you disable Google sync like i told you, Settings - Data Syncing - Google, there are the options to turn things off or on

if your contacts are already saved as Google and not Phone, i'm not sure you can change that, only restore them from Outlook or sim i guess :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Sorry for not replying to what you have written initially. I think what you describe is not an option. When you enter (at least in HTC Hero) Settings > Data Synchronization you have the options:

- Background data ( which is required if you want to install market apps)

- Auto-Sync (which I have disabled)

- Google mail (which is a "button" to execute syncing, IIUC)

- Calendar (same as above)

- Contacs (same as above)

So, I don't see where one can "untick" the Contacs and prevent them from being synced!?

Regards, Nikos
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axellink:
Brilliant man, I was wondering how to stop Google Contacts from appearing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Also,

all of the above discussion does not reply my first question: is it possible to turn contatcs (from any type, e.g. SIM or Google) to "phone" type contacts?

:-p
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanyowl:
Contact Types Displayed

Yes there is,

1. Open people

2. Press Menu

3. Select View

There are 3 options to choose from

Google

Phone

Sim

Leave the ones ticked you want displayed

Aother option of duplicated conatcts is at the bottom
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Thanks for your reply seanyowl. But I don't have a problem choosing between types that are to be displayed. The "problem" is how one would perform a contact type cast? As the threads title states (maybe not so clear after all): how to change (=convert) to "phone" type.

Regards, Nikos
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhedgehog:
you cant.

and the reason you don't see the tick boxes in the google sync settings is because you have already turned autosync off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Thanks for the (final) answer to the initial question.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thiesen:
There IS a way to convert "Phone" or "Google" contacts into "SIM" contacts but it is a tedious one:

People > Menu > View > Choose which contacts to show > OK > Click every contact you want to save as SIM (choose the one you want) > Menu > More > Save to SIM

Or you can install "Contact to SIM" from the Market. With "Contacts to SIM" you export EVERY contact to the SIM card. But there is a bug when doing it this way though. It seems that when using C2S the change doesn't appear immediatly in People. That means that if you use C2S you will not see the SIM card get populated in People. You have to reboot the phone for People to see the change. I think People ONLY reads its own change to the SIM card and nothing else.

Remember that when exporting your contacts back to the SIM card you will loose every extra information but the telephone number and the name. And most SIM cards have a limit of 250 contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Thanks. This is why I entitled the thread <<...change to "phone">> ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thiesen:
Oh... on what planet did I find these little green pills... they are sooo tasty... :D :D :D

Unfortunatly there doesn't seem to be any way to change the contact type once entered...

But atleast you know how to export the contacts back to the SIM card... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikosA:
Allow me to comment on this: "Google, bad boy" ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonwb007:
Yeah, it seems no one understands the question. I want to be able to do the same thing: Keep all of my personal data OFF of Google (and away from the NSA and everyone else) and ONLY sync with my PC at home. I already have some calendar and contact info synced with Google, but I want to be able to "reclassify" all current Google contacts and calendars to be "Device" so nothing is synced with Google. Not sure why this question is so hard to understand...

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Myrddin Wyllt:
Gonna expose my nerdiness here, but you asked...

How about an app that accesses the D&D Insider online compendium of rules and data? Not sure what would be involved, but I'm betting that there's no API available, so it'll probably never happen.

OTOH, it would be nice to see a really high quality dice-rolling app that takes full advantage of the g-sensor and the hardware accelerated graphics...something that looks like dice inside a tumbler, you know? Maybe start with a really slick Yahtzee-style game, and build up to polyhedral dice for us game-geeks?

I'd be happy to provide you with some guidelines for building. I'm sure we could find you a suitably good graphics guy, too, if you're not up to that part (I could do that, in a pinch).

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dylanfm:
I have two ideas:

#1 - I don't know if this is even possible, but an application that turns on WIFI and/or Bluetooth in a receive only mode briefly every few seconds and listens for user selected devices in range and then performs user selected actions.

The idea is that the it would use less power than leaving WIFI and/or Bluetooth on all the time, but when I get in range of my wifi router at home, it turn WIFI fully on and sync my phone. Or when I'm in range of the WiFi at work, it could turn my ringer to vibrate. Or when I get into the car, it detect my Bluetooth stero, connects to it, and opens the music player.

#2 - Probably simpler than #1, a program that turns WiFi and/or Bluetooth on automatically when the phone is plugged into a charger and then performs specific user defined actions, similar to idea #1.

I don't know if programs like this already exist, but I haven't found them.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] JFlitt:
I like these ideas, please keep them coming. I am not sure what the requirements will be as far as our programming projects are concerned but from what I understand I have alot of freedom in project choices!

I am in another robotics programming class working with the iRobot Creates and I was thinking it would be really sweet to program something that could allow the 2 to interact in some way/shape/form!

I am also very excited about GPS technology I wouldn't mind programming something that would utilize the GPS or triangulation!

Thanks for the contributions all, please keep them coming!

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DDipper:
With all that programing skill you could create some pretty neat apps.

Ive always liked the windows desktop interface.

How about a windows xp-like launcher?

Complete with movable desktop icons, windows, etc.

I am aware that wisbar advance desktop allows you to do this, but alot of those skins are a hassle, and they are not very complete. Plus they dont exactly take advantage of any 3d graphic drivers..

But anyways back to the point, with a windows xp desktop like interface it would be easier to use the phone.

I would not have to stretch my thumb all the way to the top left of the phone.

Oh and you could possibly utilize the touch pros capacitive touch panel for controlling the mouse.

You could also get google android working with more functionality. I am aware that there is work being done on it, but someone with so much programing knowledge could really speed up the project.(Im android crazy)

Or, if all that is too much to complete in limited time, then how about an application that will allow multi touch using the touch panel?

And also, resistive touch screens are supposedly multi touch capable.

I hope i gave you enough ideas.

Good luck.

VOIP

Hi,

I have an idea and it is possible.

how about having an app on your phone to configure your SIP provider settings in it ( 5 different proxy ) and then when you want to dial a number, you can right click on it and chose " voip dial ".

Skype already gives you a the menu for skype calls when u right click on your contact .

if you can add a menu to TF3D settings->communication->VOIP and we can add 5 different proxy in it and we can activate more than one proxy at the same time in order to RECEIVE AND DIAL voip calls from our phone it would be awesome since microsoft is not allowing this kind of apps on marketplace .

Tnx

a good "made for raphael" nes or snes emulator would be great since all the other ones out there are out dated and seem to work grat on old phones but are horribly laggy on the touch pro...wierd... the only good one ive found is a jap build of nester (nesterj4u) built for an hp phone or pda im not sure but the keyboard slides out to the right so landscape mode is upside down when i want to use the keyboard >_<

a good streaming media app thats a bit easyer to use than the one that comes with the phone would be great with some tv links on it like surfthechannel or tvdome would be great.

a youporn app to copliment the youtube app would be awsome

hmmm a good compass that simply points north (true or magnetic) with degrees would be awsome for when i drop mine on the roof trying to point my sat.

a simple freeware level would also be awsome since ive only found trialware levels so far

an hourglass would be a fun pointless app for when i get bored of pouring digital beer. :P

a goofy clip art picture editor could be fun just to mess with. maybe with some fish eye lens and carnival mirror opptions would be fun.

a free streaming radio app would be cool too....

sorry for the long list cant sleep :P... figured the more ideas the better ;)

ps. im not sure if any of these already exist havent checked lately so if anyone know if they do feal free to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated :D

ok, I'm gonna try to have this make sense, but no guarantees. how about a simple titanium plugin framework? something that **doesn't** use mortscript? as mscript is good for certain things, it's not for others. this way there is an easier way for developers to make new plugins for it without having to use a slow scripting language. does that make any sense?

How about a talking GPS

I was out on my mountain bike today. I have a Garmin unit on the handle bars for navigation and listening to music from my Touch Pro in my pocket.

I was riding a fast downhill section through the some trees when I realized I was taking my eyes off the trail to make sure I was still on course.

I've used this http://www.basicgps.co.uk/ for Geocaching but it can only take you to one waypoint at a time. You can't use it to follow a route.

How about making an application which can steer you along a route using voice commands.

(Tomtom and others can only do this on roads, not off-road)

sound control

What about an app. that would control all of the sound feature such as the ear speaker,speaker phone speaker,and possibily microphone independitly,like bass,trebl,vol. That way a person could tailor the phone to sound the way they want it to sound when they are talking on it or whatever.

Just a thought.

There're some cool applications on Android. One application changes the ringtone based on GPS location. It sets ringtone to loud at home, lower the volume in office and automatically sets the phone to vibration when you are in a theater.

Another application is about setting alarm based on location. You can set an alarm about buying some stuff in a store, next time when you pass by the store, alarm goes off.

Few ideas...First, it would be nice if the light (charging light) would flash like it is charging while you are using, receiving/sending a bluetooth transfer and/or flashing when your GPS is on so you know you left it on. Also would also be cool if the speed of the flashing would increase depending on the percentage of your transfer that is finished or speed of your signal for bluetooth, GPS, or wifi also if you could get the leds to chase in a circle...not sure if that is possible or if having it for both GPS and bluetooth would cause problems but would be cool. You might even make an option to select what connections you would like it to light up for like wifi, bluetooth, or gps. Anyway just an idea I had a while ago.

Another idea....animated wallpaper app that can use animated gifs or flash and would work with tf3d

Last idea for now...a fun screen saver/fun app that would work like the visualizations on WindowsMedia and could be reactive to audio (whether you are playing it or someone is just speaking) and/or the g-sensor, and/or the touch pad, and you could even make cool sparkle trails and different effects that follow your finger when you touch the screen.

I also want to second the idea of a preset wifi app.

Ok, Jason, I have a really good suggestion for you:

Build us a good configurator for TF3D2. Most of us on these boards are running it at least half the time, but are often (usually) stuck with the artistic choices of the ROM chef. Most of them end up pretty vanilla, and a good configurator could let the more artistic come up with some really fun themes. Without a good configurator, that's pretty difficult for the average artist, who doesn't want to have to learn programming to apply the images they create.

phone talking through bluetooth

Hi!

my idea (or what i need) is this: a simple app that permit to connect to another phone via BT and talk with it.

i know that BT have only few meters coverage, but...think to me and my GF riding our motorcycle..how can we talk? :)

this kind of app with the default phone headset save me to buy an expensive helmet BT intercom...

think about this idea, can be a success for all the bikers of the world ;D
