Hey i've seen this before, too. Cosmic rays! spaceweather dot com

Just kidding. Did you happen to have this device in your back pocket? ;)

nope i was using it on way home from work , it put it in its cover when i travelled from car house (kept in hand) then on the sofa for about 5 mins while i got changed then went to plug it in as battery was on 7% and noticed it

Hey Guys,

Haven't seen a good answer anywhere for this or my search skills are just off; is there a way to transfer data w/ BT...specifically contact data the navi in my car has a BT system that allows you to upload your contacts to the phone book via BT...any ideas, I'd hate to hand key my contacts into my phonebook one-by-one.

Thanks!

[Hero CDMA General] gravesy56:
is it supported in 2.1? or any of the 2.1 custom roms? :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SystmDcln:
I know when you root the N1 it wipes the phone. My question is can I use any of the various backup programs to back all my apps up and re-install when I root? If so, which is recommended?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Carloswithac:
My applications were partially restored after rooting. Not sure how, though.

Mybackup Pro will do what you ask.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Seems like it restores apps you install from the market.

Any app not installed from the market has too be be manually re-installed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
It appears, from what some others have suggested, that it reinstalls apps you have installed from the Market if you have Google backup your settings. And yes, MyBackup Pro is a nice app. A bit pricey but it's extremely useful, especially if you are always wiping (a 30 day free trial is available if you only need it once). My Backup for Root Users is free but it can be buggy at times and obviously cannot be used until after you've rooted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aagvain:
has anyone noticed mybackup pro errors out on home screen backup?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rjgonza:
no errors on mine.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aagvain:
its not an error that stands out...when i perform a backup i select bookmarks, sys settings, android home, and playlists. once the app is finished backup up the data i get the summary window which displays the following:

backup bookmarks successful

backup system settings successful

backup home shortcuts failed: null

backup music playlist successful

I have had no problems with My Backup Pro. I especially like the online backup just in case your SD card becomes corrupt and wipes everything.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dandv:
Astro

Astro file manager has an application backup tool, and it will save the apps to the SD card.

Astro is a very cool file manager and completely free.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] grandmasterethel:
I've been using Mybackup Pro for a while now, as I am always swapping between phones, and wiping them etc. so I figured I would pay for the pro version.

If however it is just to wipe the phone once, I would recommend the trial version. It can be installed to back things up, then you can install it again after the wipe and restore everything to the way it was.

Hope that helps any.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] danguyf:
I haven't taken the plunge to Cyanogen's beta ROM yet. Is there a way to back up all of my phone's settings (notification settings, sounds selections, homescreen layouts) so that I can restore them afterwards without jacking things up?

I've used apps to back up my settings before, but am always scared to restore settings following a wipe when going from one kind of ROM to another, or (in this case) from stock to a custom ROM. Should I not be worried?
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
I recently installed an app called Moon Phase, and promptly decided it was useless to me. So as usual I uninstalled it. Unfortunately it still appears in the Market as an installed app (even after rebooting). I would have tried to install and uninstall it again, but the buttons in the app's page in the Market are greyed out. How do I go about removing the app from my download list in the Market?
[G1 Apps and Games] shadowch31:
Easiest way is to find the apk online somewhere, install using astro or apps installer/whatever and then going to market downloads section then uninstalling the program again from there.

The hard way is forcing the market database to rebuild itself.
[G1 Apps and Games] JAguirre1231:
Only do this if it is a free app, do NOT pirate (or support piraters)
[G1 Apps and Games] prettyboy85712:
Or, a wipe.
[G1 Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Tried various market database fixes myself but eventually had to just find the .apk somewhere else, install with Astro then remove with Market.
[G1 Apps and Games] TeeJay3800:
The app in question is definitely a free app (this one). I will e-mail the developer to see if he can send me the APK. Thanks for the info guys!

Everything about my SMS is painfully slow. Just pressing the sms icon can cause the phone to lock up or even crash. Normal typing in a word doc for eaxmple is a pleasure, in an sms it's difficult.

All of sms's are sending straight away and being recieved. It's just the erratice behave that the software goes through whenever i want to send a txt

i am trying to get host mode working on the droid with little luck.

These are the commands i have tried.

"cat /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode"

i get "b_idle" when nothing is connected to the micro-usb port or i

get "b_peripheral" if the device is in factory test (Ethernet mode) or

connected to the PC. i am trying to force the droid into usb host by

using this command

"echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode".

but nothing happens. I don't know if the android OS is blocking the

device from going into this mode or if the android gadget driver is

blocking it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
Why is it that most, if not all, custom taskbar icons seem to mess up the bottom-bar button icons for things such as the send button for email and SMS, the back arrow button when in the start menu, etc?

Is there any way to avoid this, or to restore the icons on the bottom buttons? I'd really like to use, for instance, Brian's WM6.5 taskbar icons, but it bugs me to no end that the "send" button for SMS and email becomes blank, the "delete" botton when in the email inbox just shows an "X" (rather than the trash can), and others...

Anyone? Or, anyone know a cool taskbar icon set for the Rhodium WM6.5 that DOESN'T mess up the other buttons?

THanks,

[Android Apps and Games] hawhill:
Hi,

this is my first Android App, so please bear with me if there are still errors. It was a major task to start Android programming with such a tough idea, but well, I did not say I started programming with this app :-)

DroidReader is a PDF Reader Application. It uses native code in the background, to be specific, it uses the MuPDF rendering software/library. I'm aware of existing closed source PDF readers and some approaches to do it all in Java. So this should be different as for now.

DroidReader is Free and Open Source Software (licence is GPL v3).

The App and its sources are available at Google Code:

http : // code.google.com / p / droidreader

The App is now (since v0.3) also available via SlideME.

(I'm sorry, I can't post a full link as of now, as I'm still a "new user" on this forum, despite reading it since years... so please remove the spaces for now, I think I'll get that settled soon.)

Note for users: This application needs a file manager in order to open PDF files. Generally, you should be able to use a file manager of your choice and just click on the PDF. If you want to use the "Open" menu item, then a filemanager that understands the openintent.org's PICK_FILE intent is needed, e.g. the OI File Manager.

This App needs at minimum the Android 1.5 platform.

Changelog:

v0.5: rewiring of code, noticeable to end user: smaller install footprint, better cmap handling, small changes & bug fixes

v0.4: support for automatic tilesize calculation, now it should work on bigger screens, too. Also there is now a configuration dialog that allows to specify the default zoom level.

v0.3: added an "about" dialog

v0.2: lots of improvements, UI slightly modified for easier navigation, zoom&rotation fully implemented, ability to open password-protected PDFs, CJK support, lots of bugfixes

v0.1: initial version, still very rough and not all that shiny and thus not yet in the Market. Download available on the project's homepage.

Please note that any comments are very welcome! You can comment in this thread (and I will try to answer any questions ASAP) or on the mailing list (see the project's home page).
[Android Apps and Games] hawhill:
Similar approach in another project

Hi again, I just became aware of a similar project (well, as I said: I did this to learn Android programming as well, so this doesn't mean my time was wasted). I hope that we can combine our efforts soon. It is also at Google Code (and I still cannot post Links) and it is called "Android PDF Viewer", and has a short Acronym which appears as project name in URLs: APV. It also uses the MuPDF library and is also GPLv3. Just for your information.
[Android Apps and Games] henry2004:
To have an android PDF reader with the capability to make annotation and highlights is the most important thing. Apple has that software called "iannotate" and it manages it perfect. Android should have one. Is ther any expert working on this?
[Android Apps and Games] pevensen:
Best reader for Pandigital Novel

DroidReader is the best PDF reader I've found for use on the Pandigital Novel (hacked). All the others require one to drag your finger to move from page to page. That isn't as handy as the next and previous buttons. Adobe's reader is useless because it doesn't let you jump to a page.

I wish you'd enhance DroidReader to remember the last page in a PDF. I've also found some pdfs it won't open, but Android PDF Viewer will. The problem with Android PDF Viewer is that it is SLOW (unless I'm using a different one than you are referring to). It is so slow that it is unusable on the Novel.
[Android Apps and Games] hawhill:
Thank you for the feedback. I think I can manage to finally hack a bit further on this and your suggestion is certainly among the easier things still in the pipeline. I got a bit distracted recently, but I'm still motivated to further improve Droidreader. Being distracted, I am also not very up-to-date as to what's the fastest PDF reader available... I think in about two weeks, some development efforts should been done... I'll update this thread then!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sanscritt:
Have a question on keeping wifi signal. I have a TMO Touch Pro 2 unlocked on ATT running Cell Pro v9.5.

I have a wifi network at home, phone see's it and I have gotten it to connect, but it won't hold onto the signal and keeps dropping off my list. I am running 3 laptops in different rooms in the house (including upstairs from router), but the phone won't hold the signal even if I am 2 feet from the router.

Is this a radio issue or is there something else I need to look at?

Thanks,

Jerry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Scalage:
Maybe you can post your radio version? I'm using wifi and I have no problems at all. Or you could change your power mode setting more to performance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sanscritt:
Guess that would have been helpful, I just upgraded the radio (had whatever the stock one was 3.something) and now have 4.48.25.20. I thought that might be it so I upgraded to one in the stickied thread that covered both ATT and T-Mobile.

After the update to the radio rom I am still having the same problems. On the old radio I tried the performance settings with no change.

I can get it to connect, but the signal is very low and I lose it right away.

I had this issue on my myTouch as well but when I get an email from facebook saying someone has commented on a post I made or something similar and I click it I get sent to the ugly mobile site and it just loads the live feed not the actual post. I just wanted to know if there was any fix for this or if it could load the touch site instead (or even better the app) so I don't have to wait to go to my desktop or look though posts in the app since the notifications don't work on the Nexus One yet.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
Yeah mine does it sporadically. I haven't used it for a couple of days but maybe it has to be in the current processes list/ list of current applications for it to recognise it, else it opens the browser. Just a suggestion.

The whole notification thing really irritates me. You'd think since it comes with the phone, they would at least check that it works ¬¬
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
Well the web address sent to you in your email is from facebook.com and it is a http link to the full web site, facebook doesn't know that you're viewing this from your phone. gmail/email on the phone is going to treat these links the same, there's nothing built into the formatting or platform to make these 'special'.

I would recommend you disable email notifications on facebook, and configure notifications within the facebook app. This should get you the behavior you desire.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
Ok so since i've fixed my facebook notification issue I actually hate the facebook app. Seriously, what app shows a notification which you have to open via an external link? I thought that was the point of the app? The facebook mobile website is atrocious, and i'd actually prefer to open it in web view rather than mobile view, since that's the point of a smartphone.

I hate to bring it up but even the iPhone did a better job. Almost everything could be done through the app. Almost.

Help!:mad:

I switched on my flight mode earlier today to catch a flight and when i switched it off all my contacts had disappeared - much as I'd love to blame Ryanair for this one I don't think it's their fault!

Any ideas why it's happened, and more importantly does anyone know how to get the contacts back without syncing with Outlook? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
You actually use flight mode!! I never do. Never turn off the phone either. Never effects planes. That's just a myth.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Well, this is true, since in the UK, Ryanair are about to install masts to let you use them at about £1/min (outrageous).

Although, your phone will actually be putting out a stronger signal since it can't find a signal, and thinks it needs to 'shout' louder till a base station hears it.

But, think about this. If phones were hazardous to the 'aircraft systems' they supposedly interfere with, don't you think they'd insist on them going into checked baggage, or have them handed in before the flight, and returned in exchange for a 'security ticket' afterwards? Or at least sweep the aircraft with a SWAR meter before takeoff?

@topic, As for the main issue, what type of contacts were these (phone/sim/Google/Exchange)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cranbone:
I have looked on the XDA-wiki, tried the forum and Google searches for an answer to my questions about radios and what they do with no luck, so I hope you can help....

I see there are a lot of different versions of radios that can be flashed. What kind of impact can be seen if I flash a ROM and I'm using my stock ROM, yet the ROM I'm flashing recommends another radio? What kind of impact will that have on the function of the ROM I'm flashing, if any? Could that be the cause for the delay in notifications, missed text messages, etc

Thank you in advance and if this is a redundant question please point me in the right direction.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hamsteriel:
Here is a link to the Radio thread, future posts should probably go here ;)

Think of the radio as a driver for your phone's internal antenna. Newer radios improve signal quality and battery life. Read through posts at the thread I have linked to, so you can gain a better understanding of which radio is right for you.

You must HardSPL your phone before you install a new radio, or suffer the consequences. If you have flashed ROMs to your phone, then you most likely have done this already. Flashing a radio uses the exact same process.

I hope I helped, good luck and remember to read read read.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
I don't think so. Though I am experiencing and seeing a lot of mixed results for myself and other users.

Considering that this phone seems to need quite a lot of tweaking in order to make it work reasonably, who other than XDA geeks would want to be bothered with it.

Personally I love the phone, mine AT&T Tilt 2.

Yet as a user I am constantly annoyed with issues regarding default browsers, both Opera 9.5 and IE 6 are very slow loading AT&T's default home page. Issues with these browsers rendering AT&T Yahoo Email in a format other than WAP viewing, which renders in text only format, making HTML email useless.

I am a geek just like most of us. I can and have found some work around for a lot of things.

Still, I bought this phone to use it, not to F... with it.

I am having a very hard time finding a decent case for it, seems that case makers have no interest in producing cases for it.

Maybe the hate AT&T culture is catching up to it.

Why? Because of iPhone?

Sorry for venting so loud, I am just fed up.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
I have noticed some hang ups. I think if you have a scheduled reset for every other night it will help. I mean this is a computer, how many of us run a computer all day everyday without restart?

Opera 10 beta is out and there are a lot of little tweaks that can really help with performance. If you wanted a phone for the purpose of having a phone there are plenty of others out there that will do the job just as well, if not better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p51d007:
I think they should change the name of the at&t store to the at&t~Iphone store. Heck, if you go to the kiosk, it even says "to buy an iphone, press here".

You can't go 5 feet inside one of those stores without seeing something related to the iPhone.

At&t sold its soul for the iPhone, and like Motorola did with the Razr, they stopped innovating.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wrxtcy3790:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dwboston:
I love my Tilt 2. It does require a lot of tweaking to make it really hum, but once that's out of the way, it is a really great phone. You'd never know it from walking into an AT&T store - the ones I've been in have it buried in the back.

I think the Seidio spring-clip holster is a good case. Seidio makes high-quality stuff and the face-in design keeps the screen protected.

As for the slow browsing speeds, did you do the data speed fix? It makes a huge difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nycny:
Don't get me wrong on this.

I believe that the Tilt 2 is a great computer/pda/phone in one package. In that order.

What I am trying to get at is other than we XDA geeks who might want to flash roms etc, who would have the patience or even know what to do.

I have looked at many posts regarding TP2 and Tilt 2.

This and other Rhodium variations should be easy to use by the average user.

Otherwise they will fail.

I work every day in an IT/Telecom environment for many years.

Most of the time when I speak to users that they are needing to make changes to their browser settings because an update to Internet Explorer has disabled a particular function, or whatever causes their eyes to glaze over due to non-comprehension of what I am talking about.

With a phone, why does it have to be so hard for it to work reasonably well without any intervention of common users.

That is where currently WinMo phones get into trouble in the market place.

They work great for geeks who have the time patience to tweak them.

Personally, I would rather be doing something else than making tweaking my phone another part of my career.

This is more than likely not to be the forum to be posting to as, the original poster is likely to be flamed by more senior posters.

Kind of cranky being a WinMo user before they became phones and called a junior member.
