Android "bug" from day one. For me it happens when losing signal and getting it back, or changing from WiFi to 2G/3G or vice versa.

However it doesn't happen with the GTalk app. I think that Google spent some cycles figuring out the problem and fixed it. Now if we could get an app maker to do the same on the other IM protocols...
[G1 General] domenukk:
Ive read just 10 minutes ago in another thread about one guy with the same problem.

He installed swap space and it worked wonders.

at the moment im also installing swap.

Its slower than the built in android system to close the app and open it again, but it sucks to always get disconnected on every messenger...

ill report later ;)

/BIG EDIT: It WORKS. Stayed online while browsing through huge webpages.

By the way... ive set it to 256mb :P

Yeah I know its stupid whatsoever, and yes, it lags a bit switching between apps and opening the keyboard, but damn, i have zero page loading time on switch and im stays in memory...

Im using about 40 megabytes of swap at the moment. counting. (only for market, browser and im app)

swapiness is 30

/edit: I need a nexus :P 512 ram sounds like a dream to dream users...

/edit: 10 webpages at once, meebo running, no lag at all... im happy

/edit: lots of stuff, 70 meg of swap, up to 5 sekonds for switching apps, very nice!

/edit: its 8. pages only. seems to be some kind of limitation (using cyanogenmod whatever.12.2)

>> Conclusion: IM APPS CLOSE because they don't have enough ram to live.
[G1 General] XabdullahX:
Awesome :) !

Could you tell me what Class your memorycard is?

Sounds like good news. So. tell me if i got it right, here's how to swap;

(Start off typing "free" in the terminal check your current status)

1 - Format your SD Card

2 - I do this procedure, but EXCEPTIONALLY!: i do the linux swap partition to the swap space i want.

3 - Install the Droidsans Tweek tools from Market

4 - Install a terminal if you dont have it

5 - In Droidsans, choose option 1 to choose "Remount /System as Read/Write"

6 - Go to the terminal app

7 - Type in this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile bs=1024 count=[CHANGETHISVALUE]

Where it says "count=" You should add the value of your swap multiplied by 1024. If you want 265 mb swap space, Type in 1024*265= 271360. So the code will be:

8 - Wait for it till finish.. Might take up to 1 minute or more

9 - Now.. Still in Terminal.. Type in these commands:

mkswap /sdcard/swapfile

swapon /sdcard/swapfile

10 - To check if its working, run this command, you should notice a difference.. Hopefully?

free

So. Thats what i would do. Is it right or will i crash it ?

Hi there! Is it possible to create a separate profile HANDSFREE? I had qtek 8310 before,and it had this profile. And here I can't control ringtone volume,sound etc.
[Touch2 General] andreilx:
You can use PhoneAlarm for this purpose.
[Touch2 General] uruko:
I just want to add a profile,without additional soft.Is it possible on WM6.5?
[Touch2 General] mugsat:
Problem

Hi, i have the similar problem.

My father bought touch 2, and if he connect it to a car handsfree, everything looks ok. If he call to some one, car speakers works.. BUT incomming calls absolutly ignores handsfree, ringing by handsfree, but ringing melody isnt default, and if he accept it, he can hear sound only from earphones on touch2.

If i use my TouchPro2 or Touch Pro, or nokia Exx, everything works fine.

Regards,

guys.....

is it possible to update wallpaper plus to amke compatible with Eclair? i really like this app as it supports to set portriat wallpaper and make the wallpaper non-scrollable as i want to set my son's picture as wallpaper and want to make it non-scrollable.

so wallpaper plus is the only app which does this. but unfortunately its not compatible with Eclair 2.x. and i mailed the developer about this and he/she dint reply. so i think developer isnt interested to update this app.

so i was thinking is it possible for any of our developers here to have a look at that soft if it is possible to update to make it comptible to Eclair.

btw what sort of modification does it need to update an app to make compatible to Eclair? cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] shenye:
well....as a summary, you will need to somehow edit the app and add in the correct eclair APIs to the app....
[HD2 General] Nicolopolus:
Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a sim free phone on the highstreet in the UK? Currently have an order in with Mobile Phones Direct but they've been messing me about a bit. Does anyone have any opinions on unlocked-mobiles.com?

Nexus one vs. HTC Hero

The Nexus One screen is awesome, but not touted as oleophobic. It does retain fingerprints if your fingers aren't dry, but it's easy to clean. Hero's screen is supposed to be oleophobic, but it also gets fingerprints.

Nexus One seemed to fare a little better than Hero with regards to batter life, but I haven't done proper comparisons.

Looks great. I didn't miss the lack of SenseUI, except in the alarm application, where you can't swipe the hour/minute up down, but have to press two plus/minus buttons.

Nexus One doesn't have Sense UI.

The soft keys on Nexus One are famous for being a bit misplaced - you have to touch slightly above them, in order to register the tap. They offer haptic feedback. The back key (the most commonly used one) is smartly placed where your thumb falls- an improvement over the Hero, which places it such that you have to contort your thumb to reach for it.

The trackball is a bad idea compared to a directional pad. I haven't used it much really, but from what I have, it did an OK job.

The chin on the Hero is useful in that it protects the screen if you drop the phone on a flat surface. If you drop the Nexus, the screen will take the shock. The Nexus one is slimmer and slightly larger.

It does have all those, and it's frikkin' fast indeed. It falls short in that it has a lame speaker, and its slab/slate shape will make it somewhat more likely to have the screen damaged in the event of a drop. I for one miss the call/end call keys, but overall prefer the soft keys on the Nexus One.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dandv:
Get a job? ;)

Oi quicksite, a buddy of mine who's seen your post above agrees that you have too much time on your hands ;)

I don't work for Google - quite on the contrary. I'm just experienced with evaluating stuff. One will realize the slight misplacement of the soft keys as soon as they first experience the Nexus One; and I've seen the issue reported in a few places, to conclude that it's famous (Engadget probably).

Rumor has it that Nexus Two will be out in a year. As for the speaker, it's worse than Hero's, and worse than the one in iPhone and Samsung Galaxy. But do you really play music on the phone's speaker? You'll probably use earphones, or Bluetooth. As for ringtones, you won't really care that the speaker is poor. If you watch videos, you might suffer. The soundtrack of videos I watch is mostly dialogue (TED talks, George Carlin-type comedy).

As for "market rates" for stuff, there's no such thing. Head to eBay and craigslist and see what they sell for. Market yours well (see my eBay ad for my Samsung Galaxy) and you'll get a good price.

As for insurance, the only time my phone was dropped was when I let a curious doofus handle it. Look back in time - do you really have a tendency to drop your phone? I would not buy any sort of insurance.

Nope, there is no option in Android to offset your point of contact. Just get used to where the fingertip really is. Windows Mobile interfaces may have that option (I haven't seen it on my HTC Angel) because they're badly built for finger use - they're built more like office applications to be used with a stylus. The Android UI is touch-optimized. Most of the time you can operate your phone fine with only one hand, which makes it way more usable for GPS navigation (of course, don't text and drive - but hey, Nexus One introduced dictation as an input method, so you may be tempted).

Head over to http://androidforums.com/htc-hero/

My advice - you seem to be trapped in analysis paralysis, or the paradox of choice. Just buy the phone, and you'll be able to sell it a year later for at least $300. With the time you'll save by not dwelling too much on it, you'll be able to work a gig to make up for the difference ;)

Oh, and put some hot Romanian girl wallpaper on it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] quicksite:
:rolleyes:Oh my god, i'm given links to analysis paralysis! Then I am analyzed... hah hah. Geez man i've only had my Hero for 4 weeks. I'm not used to that turnaround rate.

No, I just type at an inefficient word rate of 100-to-1 compared to most.

Note to self: Set up a poll here to ask if anyone at XDA learned something valuable from my questions!

You can't possibly be Romanian if you do not know the subject in question. But seriously thank you. And after deliberations under 36 hours, yeah, maybe i'll get the nexus. But analysis paralysis? :rolleyes: This coming from...

hmph. Okay! now I see how it's done! all in under 36 hours I am sure... ha hah:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dandv:
Moving on

Which subject? Anyway, this got way off-topic already.

Exactly - with regards to the analysis paralysis. Been there, done that, trying to help others avoid it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
what about help in...

Post Purchase research????

I am spending to much time online.

Looking up new things / issues / upgrades/ all about my new HERO!!!

:p :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] quicksite:
well i guess this is a mocking comment but i cannot tell.

In 3 years on this site, I've actually never run into this much dissing of somebody asking reasonable questions about actual usability issues. For some i guess $500 is a drop in the bucket; just buy the damn thing. a day of posting here is way too much time on your hands.

So here i was ready to take the advice of "just do it", and then I followed another of dandv's links to androidforums.com -- where i discovered that in 13 pages of threads on the Nexus One, at least 50 threads were expressing major problems in all kinds of areas, from the displaced touch alignment, which for many was recurring in every session, and would be fixed by battery removed, replaced, to lots of erratic connectivity problems with people who had two phones and could swap sim cards out and see their other phone connecting immediately, to major complaints re data plans there were not made clear to existing customers of T-Mobile, to some instant-pushback on google for its refusal to provide telephone support for their branded phone, instead their usual "fill out an email; you may not get a personal reply" (which means all the template stuff where you are forced down a path of their search results based on your question, read read reda, eventualy at the end of that line there is no existing faq for your question, and then waiting yet again for another non-specific email reply.

I'm actually glad this topic immediately deteriorated. If my questions were analysis paralysis about what for me is a major new expense, then its equally irresponsible to give the phone a rave (the hardware and software) without even a hint of the legions of problems some people are experiencing not just with the phone, but also with sorting out WHO ANSWERS THE CONSUMER FOR WHAT? T-mobile, HTC, Google.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8451473.stm

Just one of many such news reports.

So la dee dah, just frikkin buy it and then buy a new one if that's a problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
Yes

it was a joke...

what i was trying to say

I am like you

do a lot of research before purchase

and a lot more after...

so chill

it's all good....

I learned a lot from your questions, comments, and research...

later :)

Nexus One has the fastest GPS fix I've ever seen

Just wanted to add, after a month with the N1, that it gets a GPS fix faster than any other phone (Samsung Galaxy, HTC Hero) or device (GlobalSat SiRFstarIII) that I've used. It gets a GPS fix, apparently from a cold start, in less than 20 seconds, every time, even from a moving car.

Hi all,

I just want share my problem with HTC 6800 Mogul (Sprint).

It uses WM6.1.

My problem is every single item SMS in thread system list, always for 2016 (year), as attached, "thread_list.jpg"

i was setting my regional setting and clock time, as attached, "clock_system.jpg"

If anybody have a suggestion for me to set system up, due to miss-date (year-->2016), please feel free to comment this thread.

Should need any further info, don't hesitate to contact me

Thanks a lot friend :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nsxt42:
strange, I just got this same date error. Yesterday was fine. Looks to me like a sprint SMS server problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] fransn4580:
yeaahh this case very strange to me.

This was happend in new year eve, from 12/31/09 become 1/1/16 (until now).

I think this is not SMS Server problem since another mogul, which is belong to my friend, there was no problem with this case :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] typhoonk:
there is already a fix for this. A quick search on here or google will get you the cab fix
[Mogul, XV6800 General] fransn4580:
Brother, would you like give me clue a keyword for searching? since before i posted this thread, i already search but didn't found anything.

And also, if you don't mind, did you know what the root cause this problem? i just wanna know :)

anyway, thanks a lot for your helping brother.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] fransn4580:
Thanks my problem already solved :)

Please find out the attachment below (Ziggy2016Fix.cab)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryanmo5:
Ok so I have this installed on my phone and I have no clue what it is, never installed it nor can I find a way to uninstall it. Anyone else have it installed and if so did you find a way to delete/uninstall it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Misty Blue:
It has the same thing in my downloads section of the market. The app doesn't show up in the app list under settings, though. It's really an annoyance and I think it is also causing the market to give me a false update notification. My boyfriend's phone does not have it installed and is not having any sort of the same issue with the market.

The only thing I think will clear it is a factory reset.

Update: I did a factory reset and before everything restored and I started using apps, it wasn't there. After I started using a few apps it was. No way to get rid of it until you reset the phone again. I don't know which app is causing it, but the few that I did open were task panel, eReader, and a word game. I removed them and reset. It has been quite a few hours after heavy use and it hasn't showed up in my downloads. I suspect one of those apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
bump

this is really aggravating and many people dont even realize they have it on their phone. I have two nexus ones and its on both of them and on both phones i get the damn phantom application update notification. Has anyone figured out anything more about this? thank you
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Where are you guys seeing it? I'm a pretty heavy app user, having installed/uninstalled quite a few, and haven't done any type of wipe; however, I'm not seeing what you're describing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SilentMobius:
I believe the the old openhome app had the class name com.google.launcher2 this is same name that google have now used for the new launcher hence the market thinks its installed... which is isn't.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Beast84:
Has anyone tried to install open home & then uninstall? Maybe it will get rid of both...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bicster_:
Which makes me wonder why Google would allow 3rd party developers to use com.google...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Weird. I don't have that. You guys should use atrackdog to generate an installed alp list and compare them for commonalities.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
Like all issues with this phone, I don't know if I'm supposed to contact HTC, google, or T-Mobile. Sound like a software issue so I'm guessing google?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
I am not sure why you would need to guess in this case. It is neither a hardware or a plan problem. Google is your source for a solution. This is very likely dues to a previous installation of Open Home on an older android. As to why you can not uninstall it I can not answer, but at the least I do not have it in my installed software list.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
Are you rooted? If so, you could go in and delete the apk from /data/app
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SilentMobius:
Um, because Apps aren't vetted? com.google is just a java namespace it doesn't change anything or give you magic permissions.

Most likely openhome grew from someone starting with the launcher source and renaming it by adding "2" then tweaking it. The only bug here is that the market is looking for installed apps by "pname" whereas atrackdog doesn't.

Its a Market display bug guys, the app is _not_ on your phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Agreed, although I already left a market comment. :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] btmec:
So I am not the only one. I have the bloody app on my phone too. I never installed it. It was there from day one and I can't remove it.
[HD2 General] wesleyho:
Hi guys,

I'm new here, I believe I've done searching around, but cant find this solution.

It's difficult to view a hyperlink or a group of numbers in the sms, unless u click on it to view it in white background.

Is there any way to change the font color or background color ?

e.g. there is a url between "Today 14:36" and the "wah" but I cant see it at all.

TQ and cheers.

[Hero CDMA General] MorningThief581:
I rooted my hero last night and tried out a few different ROMs but eventually decided to revert to stock and make some manual changes. I used nandroid to restore to just after the root (1.56.651.2). I was able to remove some apps using adb, but the adb remount command fails (permission denied), and I'm unable to push a new bootscreen on to the phone. I also tried a Root File Manager and pre-kitchen as alternatives for the bootscreen, and neither one works. The Root Manager won't paste the files from SD into /system/media/ and pre-kitchen just reboots the phone.

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA General] MorningThief581:
Any chance this has something to do with downloading only up to SDK Platform 1.5? I'm at a total loss. I RUU'd my phone, did a clean root at startup using adb shell, and I still have the same problem. The adb remount command won't work, and I can't push anything into the system directory. For what it's worth, when I still had Root Manager installed I was able to toggle RO R/W in any directory with no problem, and I could move files around within the ROM... but I couldn't move anything into it from the SD. I'm new at this, so I have no idea what the problem might be. Anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA General] MorningThief581:
If anyone else runs into this problem, this solution worked for me:

adb shell

# su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# chmod 777 /system (Or any subdirectory you want to push to inside system)

# exit

adb push <local file> <device location>

Restore modified permissions when done.

Though I'm still not sure why this is necessary in place of adb remount.
[Hero CDMA General] dametzg:
I'm pretty sure the adb remount command will not work on the stock rom. You should be able to do it with just this command instead:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Hero CDMA General] MorningThief581:
Thanks... didn't realize stock wouldn't accept adb remount. If I use the above line from within shell, that doesn't help me push anything on to the phone though... so I needed to enable global permission and then do the push. Oddly enough I tried the same approach last night using Root Manager, and the transfer from SD still failed, even after I applied 777 to the dir I was trying to modify. The current solution may be kind of tedious, but at least it works.
[Hero CDMA General] angst911:
you really shouldn't do 777 on your filesystem, ANY app can then write to your system, overwrite things, or install malicious code. Just remount manually and you should be able to push anything you want, just remember that w/ the stock rom you also don't get a full busybox either.
[Hero CDMA General] markachee:
I'm not positive, but I would think after you remount, you should be able to "adb push" to /system. I suppose it might be specific to that shell, but I would think not.

You just may have to do it once each time you boot your phone.

Edit - err nevermind... you're having permission errors.... um... change adbd on the phone to run as root? not sure how off the top of my head...

Hello,

How to lock also the Hardwarebuttons with the Default Sliderlock.

I don't want to use a other Sreenlock Program.

I just like to lock the Buttons also when the Screen is loecked.

any Solutions?

Thanks

:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Are the buttons active at all? During screen lock, I guess only the endcall button is active, waking up your phone.
[HD2 General] uccoffee:
alex fung ,

you are wrong.

All hard ware buttons except vol buttons can walk the phone/ turn on the screen.
[HD2 General] alex fung:
ah you are right. They wake up the screen, but the touch panel is still locked. Try TouchLockPro.
[HD2 General] karaern:
any simple solution please, touch lock pro is soo confusing...

and is there is some solution to lock phone on backlight off, i mean dim is activated not locking when the screen goes off

tnx in advance
[HD2 General] andylayo:
Hope this helps

To lock the hardware buttons with the phone in lock mode try modifing the registry.( it is simple but do this at you own risk)

Install a free registry explorer like PHM RegitEdit im sure you will find here it on this site (regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab ) Donate if you like:D

When installed open and navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER",Then "ControlPanel",Then highlight "Keybd".

Change "DefaultKeyLock" value data to "1"

Aslo if you feel brave: HKEY_CURRENT_USER-ControlPanel-Backlight.

Change "AutoDeviceLockEnable" value data to "1"

This should activate the lock screen when the screen dims.

Good Luck:)

NB: You will need to soft reset for the settings to work!
