oops.. I guess I could have clarified a bit better. Basically looking to find out what people view as essential apps. Things to do or avoid to make sure my Hero runs smooth. Those type of things. Im really new with this phone, and I'm sure I will learn a ton, but I have a nasty habit of messing stuff up..:) Does that clarify a little bit better?

Thanks for your time.

I love hacking the crap out of my phone that's number 1 to me.

2nd id have to say senseUI is the best phone experience Ive ever had.

3rd is Android. There is so many good things about Android im not even getting into it.

4th is value. Sprint's network is very good in my area and it's half the price of other android carriers :rolleyes: and free calling to any mobile phones

Thats a winner for me
[General Topics] felixdd:
A little background: I've been using Windows CE devices since 2000. Back then, when you download software, the hardest part was the simple choice between whether you needed the MIPS or the SH3 version.

I've lived through the advent, and subsequent standardization, of the ARM processors. XScale came and went. We then saw Samsung, TI, and Qualcomm come onto the scene....

The heyday of WM, I still consider to be from the time the Ipaq 3600, to the Axim x50s. Those were simple times. You download something and it will work. When the game doesn't, it isn't because there was a driver issue, or your OpenGL wasn't the correct version, or that the hardware wasn't being utilized. It simply meant your PDA wasn't fast enough, and it's time for an upgrade. The OS was rock solid, if you didn't muck around too much.

I've been using the Toshiba G810 for quite some time now. Some games work. Some games don't. Shamefully, my iPaq 2215 can run laps around the G810. I know for some Kaiser users, they have it more rough than me even -- youtube, videos were slow, while they run fine for me. But mysteriously, certain games don't work -- perhaps because of an openGL issue. I don't even care anymore. On and off I've tried, and I've failed each time. I tell myself, I'll just buy a new one -- top of the line, snapdragon, all the bells and whistles, and not have to worry about "will my PDA run this?" Just like the good old days.

The fact is...PDAs were supposed to be easy-to-use devices. Yes they've gained power, but in doing so they've become arguably more difficult than full-fledged desktops to make compatible with programs. Whereas if the desktop doesn't want to run a program, you can easily update the driver, or update the hardware, or something. With PDAs, manufacturers and chipset makers pawn off responsibility to one another for the device, while all touting that this is the "powerhouse" that will run everything under the sun. The fact that even the Leo seems to be having trouble with openGL attests to this fact.

Perhaps I'm wrong, and perhaps I'm misinformed. I'm happy if people can correct this for me, but it seems that HTC, Qualcomm, AMD/ATI, has had 2-3 years to get this right. But they haven't. The same problems exist. Furthermore, the problems are being swept under the rug, with the guise that the "next device" will not bear the problems of the past.

I'm fed up. Hopefully I'm just misinformed. I'm happy if there are those out there that can correct me and tell me, "hey -- you can still return to the devices you love. They have solved things."

Right now I'm waiting with bated breath for real-life performance reports for Acer F1 and the Omnia 2 (basically any snapdragon with a 3.5mm plug). But my faith in Qualcomm has already been shaken. If there are still problems that this and that doesn't work, I'm going to seriously consider an iPhone, and be done with this mess.

Hi guys

I have recently got the X1 and I really like it, but the reception at my home in Auckland, NZ, is terrible compared with my previous SE P1i. It is dropping out while sitting still.

Is it possible to upgrade the radio firmware or something? Can you link me to instructions or the right one for me to use??

I am no expert in this, and I did look on the forums without success.

I am using:

ROM: 1.05.949.13

Date: 04/23/09

Radio Version: 1.14.25.55

Protocol: 52.65.25.34w

Hi,

Thanks, it would appear that a later version is New Xperia Radio 1.16.25.48.

I am willing to try and install this, but I would really appreciate it if someone could offer some clear guidance on this.

I installed Kovsimg already to upgrade the phone previously, but that is the extent of my knowledge.

This thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532249 seems to have the right links for the download. But when I started it, all indications were that my whole ROM would be flashed, and that does not seem right???

Hi again

I found this faq here: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-508038.html.

It is brilliant and answered most questions. I just went ahead and let the upgrade go and it just updated my phone radio, and this has improved the signal strength showing straight away.

[General Questions and Answers] pontupo:
I have the HTC Magic/MyTouch 3g and ran into a problem some time after rooting (perhaps as soon as I rooted, I'm not completely sure) where my phone would no longer mount properly when connected via USB to a computer. I think it had something to do with the tethering functionality... in any case, I wanted to verify with certainty that the problem was software and not hardware, so I returned to vanilla using the unlockr's approach as outlined here: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/ I'd done the same when initially rooting my phone and it worked fine. Once back to vanilla, my phone would again mount fine when connected over USB. So now I would like to reroot my phone and install the latest cyanogen build, but now every time I try to enter recovery mode via holding home and power on boot, I get stuck on a screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle.

I've repeatedly reapplied the sappimg.nbh file, downloaded a new one to make sure it wasn't a corrupted, updated to 1.6 to see if that would resolve it, etc. But no go... I've poked around online but haven't seen any clear answer to this problem.

Any ideas??
[General Questions and Answers] pontupo:
wow.... I can't believe I'm such an idiot. Got a reply on another forum. In case any one should stumble on this in the future: hit home and power when on that screen and it will open up the normal recovery mode screen where you can go ahead normally.

680 x 480 video format not running smoothly on my x1, why, how to solve this issue? anyone have this problem? any 3rd party software to solve this?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
There are two ways of playing back highres movies on the X1. Either using Media Player (crappy in my opinion) or the Media Xperience Panel. Both are able to use the hardware acceleration of the X1 (Core Player and tcpmp do not support it). But no matter which player you prefer there is only one format that gets you decent results: mp4 encoded with the tool provided by XDA Developers.

Get the program from this source http://gm.mainframe.no/stuff/Encoder.rar and read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy89632:
Hello Guys,

I am pretty much new to Android here (Used to be a Windows Mobile user), although I am starting to read and learn more about it. I felt so happy to be out of the Microsoft Mobile spell, it was horrible and the software just lives in the world of its own, it lags at almost anything and in short, it just cant work.

Alright, so I got my Hero 2 weeks back and I wanted to know a few things, which I hope you can help me with it.

- I have about 60 over applications on my SD card, and I wish to use the MoDaCo ROM, How am I able to backup the applications from the current stock rom and transfer them to SD Card or somewhere else?

( Will Market still recognise the apps I downloaded after I flashed my phone to MoDaCo? )

- One more question, everything when the MoDaCo rom releases a new version, lets say from 2.9 to 3.0, must I reflash and build everything from scratch again?

Thanks A Lot,

Jeremy
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
hi,

well to answer your questions,

you can install all your applications directly on your sd card using app2sd.(it is incorporated in the modaco roms but bear in mind you have to correctly format ur sd card in ext3 partition for app2sd application to work . Once you've done that , you can flash anything and you'll not have any problem.

2)concerning paid applications, yes. market will automatically recognise applications you bought once you sign in your google account(they'll be recognised but you'll have to download it manually) but paid ones, nope.

3)when you upgrade from the same built( meaning from 2.8 to 3.0 modaco for example) , you dont have to wipe before flashing cause both roms use as base the official 2.73 rom. thus you wont lose any of your settings. However, when you upgrade from a modaco rom to community rom 1.6 , you should normally wipe.(builts are not the same here, one being cupcake and the other eclair)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy89632:
Thanks A lot for your response, and I have some questions again.

- Where could I find an app to format my SDCard to Ext3? Will my Windows PC still be able to read EXT3?

- You mentioned that market will recognise my downloaded applications after I root the phone right? So, I dont really get it - I have to download it manually? Meaning? ( All my apps are free, no paid )

- Its pleasing to hear that I don't have to wipe when I upgrade to 3.0.

- Oh and something which I missed out, I am supposed to flash a Radio at the same time right? Which one is the best to date? I heard that there was many versions. ( I'm using a GSM Hero)

Sorry for the inconvinience.

Cheers,

Jeremy

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
Technically it is possible. There are many reasons it is not available on G1. Here are two:

1. No WinMo drivers to interface with proprietary hardware (radio, gps, wifi, etc)

2. Redistributing WinMo for devices that are not licensed to run WinMo would probably run afoul of some attorneys in Redmond.

If you want to run WinMo, you should probably just buy a Windows Mobile device.

我就用汉语 中文来回答你们

如果你不相信我是中国人,你大可以去查我的IP,来自中国深圳(from china ShenZhen,HongKong),我不就问这么个问题吗? 试想,如果在G1上能运行WM,这也能说明G1不仅在系统上(of cause android)的优越性能,并且在硬件上也能支持现在的所有主流OS,那我为什么不问run NOKIA OS on g1 呢,以为我想塞班系统的硬件配置与G1相差太远了,而android和windows Mobile大部分都由HTC代工生产,硬件上和设计理念上或多或少有相同之处

同样,我问这个问题不存在任何对G1的不敬之处,技术以人为本,科技引导未来.在技术层面上谈G1,难道就以此来判断我是劣等民族?

我不知道你的想法为什么如此的狭隘,抛开其他的不说,我是一个中国人,而你是一个美国人或者其他国家的朋友,至少我们还有一个共同点,就是我们拥有一个共同的手机,有一个共同的爱好,你这个说我,不仅是对我的极为不尊重,同时也是降低你的素质,据我所知,美国史一个世界发达国家,我想国民素质不至于想你这么差吧,高等教育,卓越的福利待遇,难道就这样被你糟蹋了?

+1.

I just recently went all the way back to the stock sprint 6.1 rom just to see if I could ever live like that again. After spending an hour or so gathering cabs and tweaking everything just to get it to a comfortable state, I realized that all of the things I was trying to do are pretty much already done in even the most basic android builds.

It does come down to preference I suppose, but for me, just signing into my account upon booting android beats digging around for a WMMarketplace cab on a crippled IE browser, cumbersome setups for things like Windows Live, setting up and scheduling active sync, installing replacements for almost every default part of WM.

I really did love windows mobile for a long time. It's certainly one of -if not- the most customizable platforms. If you don't necessarily like how something works in WM, chances are you can do something about it. But that can take time. I was never really that interested in scripting out one of those huge uc files way back when.

The way everything works so well together in android without getting in your way is fantastic, but stop reading this and just trying it!

The only reason I use it now is because I have a contract with Verizon that somebody else pay for. If you really want to be blown away by Android, go to a store and play with a native Android phone. I find content is way more accessible for Android. For an OS that has been out for a very small fraction of the time that WM has been out, it's incredible.
