Hi guys

The problem in video camera mode, which shows how the waves move, is a very uncomfortable problem, you know any way to fix it?

greetings
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
No .. the camera is nothing special.
[HD2 General] Metroid Prime:
ok thanks

greetings
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I've tried changing resolution and codec .. that does not solve it. It was not discussed here AFAIK. It's rather gentle too .. I guess most people simply did not notice. I did unfortunately :D

But that is what you get by cramping too many pixels into a sensor .. it takes time to get the values out.
[HD2 General] Jack E:
I got it quite badly the other day, now it is fine :-O
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Now that is strange. It can depend on things .. like available light. Will do some more tests.

I downloaded a map of my school (going back tomorrow) in PDF form and tried to open it and quick office came up. I can't edit anything, probably due to it being a PDF, but I'm going to test a doc file and see what happens. BRB :P

Update: Seems to work with docs and other office files but you can't edit

I don't ever recall downloading this. I'm rooted with Cyanogen's addon that's all.

Mine opened a Powerpoint (.ppt) file with Quickoffice too and my device is completely stock at the moment. I don't see quickoffice in the list of apps, though.

I just installed Quickoffice from the Market then I got it on the list of apps. Since it's the free version, it has very limited functionalities.

Freeware Bible app

Look for a webite called olivetree and look for a program called Biblereader for Windows Mobile. Some of the stuff on the website is free and some isn't. Look for a section called free items along the top of the page. There are around 150+ programs free to download.

I've been using this software since I had a nokia N95 several years ago. Highly recommend it. :D

BibleReader from Olivetree works on the Rhodium, this is what I use with AT&T Tilt 2.

Hey, better late than never, right?

I was roaming the internet, came across this and remembered your post. Hope you find something close to what you're looking for here.

Remember that if Google doesn't give you what you're looking for, there are other search engines, like Metacrawler.

Anyway, here's the link:

re: bible app

I found Pocket esword bibile application to be the best free one so far. It works on all wm roms. If you want, just do a search and it should take you to the site.

Many free bibles, bible dictionaries, commentaries and others are free. Some newer versions of bibles are for a price
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
Pocket Esword is no longer being maintained. The bible reader program from Olivetree is what I use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kraski:
Pocket e-Sword has some interesting issues with WM 6.5 & WVGA. It takes some playing, but you can get it working pretty nicely. Olivetree is good & has lots of free resources (along with some excellent paid tools). I've also heard Laridian's Bible app works well -- although, from what I've seen, none of it is free. There's also a free "finger friendly" Bible app being developed in the WM Apps & Games forum, here, that works pretty well for reading & following sermon passages -- not enough there, yet to use it as a study tool.

Hi,

I am from Montreal, Canada. I am with rogers and I have Xperia X1i. Right now I have a contract with rogers of 6Gb for $30 till november. I really want an Android phone. Since Google decided to go with a weird frequency for 3g, I cant really get a nexus phone. So I decided to wait till july and probably get Xperia X10 with Android. I heard that telus is bringing motorola droid in Canada and telus have better plans than rogers (BTW for those who don't know, roger has terrible plans, my data plan is awesome but voice plan is terrible). So I am trying to decide between this two phones.

X10

Pros:

4inch screen, better looks, 1GHz processor!!!!

And I get to keep the same number with rogers :)

Cons:

It runs on Android 1.6?!! And even though it has 65k screen but it might be running at 35k?! No keyboard.

Milestone

Pros:

Android 2.0.1, Keyboard, hard metallic body, this phone is out and tested so it wont have any bugs.

Cons:

3.7inch screen, 133Mb rom and 550MHz processor.

I heard some where that the processor speed in not important. I am not sure whether it is true or not. One thing is for sure it runs on Android 2.0.1 whereas X10 is stuck at 1.6. I was wondering if anybody else is in the same kind of dilemma or even any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Bikram
[General Topics] ratchetnclank:
Xperia X10 the specs are much better, but i'd personally hold out for HTC bravo.
[General Topics] leonlikestrees:
I can't believe for a minute that there won't be an update to eclair for the X10, even if it's just be the folks on XDA! I wouldn't base my decision on what android version is on the device...
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
Did you REALLY just write that?:D

You should try googling it ;) Go to the Android forums and look at the milestone and droid sections.

I chose a HTC HD2 over the Milestone for a couple of reasons.

1 - Bugs. They both have bugs, one big diference though is that HD2 has this massive community

2 - Exchange Support (not sure if relevant to you). 2.0 is still not full Exchange support.

3 - Office Support (again, not sure if relevant to you)

4 - Various reviews that said the keyboard on the Milestone was pants. Very few liked it (but some did!)
[General Topics] lbcoder:
Its actually rogers that has the weird frequency.

You're in montreal, so wind isn't available (and won't be since videotron bought up all the quebec spectrum), but if you can hold out until summer, videotron http://corpo.videotron.com/site/press-room/press-release/375 is launching AWS service compatible with GN1.

SornyX10 may have a little bit of android, but it is really crippled by all the sorny proprietary junk that they've added onto it. There is also no indication that they will actually be updating from android 1.6 to anything newer *ever*.

Regarding CPU speed, its usefulness depends on your use. It is a phone after all... and with the internal storage limitations of the milestone, its not like you'll be installing any huge 3d games to take advantage of a fast CPU.
[General Topics] Duwenbasden:
Get the X10a, Rogers is launching it later in the year if you want 3G.
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Processor speed is important. If you are going with Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5 the 528 MHZ is like a minimum requirement, or else your phone will be slow as ****. Don't listen to the people who have 528 MHz phone. Listen to the people who have the 1GHz one.
[General Topics] Bikram:
Wow videotron is getting AWS, great.

When it comes to processor everybody has different opinion. I am not going to play 3D games but I hate slow animations in my HTC sense ROM ( even though xperia x1 is suppose to have a seperate memory just for video processing). And specially when they freezes!!! Its really annoying, I haven't seen that on a Iphone though (I dont have an Iphone, saw it from friends). And android would have been the next thing to try.

Android 2.1 is better than 1.6 that I know for sure. Now its seems like everything comes to one question:

DOES PROCESSOR SPEED MATTERS? I never seen a phone with 1GHz so no clue. Anybody ever seen phone with 1Ghz?

[HD2 General] masi0:
Hi, first of all I havent seen any post about this so here we go:D

I have just installed this ROM - much faster, however there is one small thing that bothers me - PinYin something keyboard - is there any way to remove this and make just standard EN keyboard available?

one more - in the All People there is Phone Keypad only - any way to change it?

Thanks
[HD2 General] CloneboyZA:
+1 to that request... :)

Already post issue to HTC support

Last month, I have forwarded a request to include Compact QWERTY keyboard. No news for 1.66 ROM. Hopefully, next ROM update will have Compact keyboard.
[Nexus One General] obadvw:
Hello guys;

just received my phone yesterday and i have a question regarding open programs

does the back button until home screen close the program or it still run in memory?

some people advise the use of task killers to kill unwanted tasks to save battery

while others say that Linux is handling this automatically and using task killers is no use

some people claims that after they stopped using task killers their battery life was better

i am new the Android as i am an ex WinMo user so please enlighten me

Thanks for huge efforts guys
[Nexus One General] system6:
Yes, they are. Android does a poor job of managing tasks, even to the point it auto starts like everything in your phone and very few of them turn themselves off.

You can manually manage them in applications, running processes, but task killers are so much easier.

I have owned 3, and the one that is easiest to use, that I have never found a bug with is Advanced Task killer (Little green droid icon). The purchased version is expensive, but worth it as it gives you one click widget to kill tasks.

Advanced Taskiller is known for crashing the home screen and stopping vital system services requiring a reboot. I own the full, and I have no use for it.
[Nexus One General] carnegie0107:
Okay, let's see how many questions I can answer here....

First of all, using the back button does not close the program. Neither does the home button. Android does handle this natively, but it does so automatically. It doesn't matter how you exit a program, it stays running until it needs to close. Whenever too many apps are running, slowing the system down, it will close the older ones as needed. All automatically. Nice, huh?

Task killers let you do this more aggressively, or manually. You may want to do this if you want your system to be "extra" fast, or to save battery. Most of them have extra features, too, like switching to running apps, or uninstalling them, etc. Beyond that, you don't need it. Some people say that task killers actually drain battery, but in my experience, they help slightly. And they do improve performance slightly too--as long as you are smart about not killing the wrong apps. (HINT--if it's a widget or a background service, never kill it)

So really, it's up to you. Get a free one, or a trial, and try it out, see if it makes things better or worse. Just take into account the learning curve before you give up on it--you have to exclude widgets, background processes, and maybe a couple other apps, too... takes a bit of trial and error to figure out which apps get bugs when you kill them.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
It's not necessary but highly recommended. I use Taskiller the paid version. I mainly use it to kill apps that start to have problems and to kill a lot of the apps that boot with the phone.
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
on G1: i use it every time i reboot, because on boot/startup, some apps open automatically that are not needed (e.g. maps, Documents To Go, alarm, etc.)

clears up a lot of memory

on Nexus One: not sure yet whether that's really necessary considering more RAM available
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
I use Advanced Task Manager purely because I bought it on my G1 and so thought I might as well. It has a kill-all widget (you can set exclusions of course) but I don't use that. I normally only use it to kill apps that I want to restart or just to monitor what apps are doing what.

I have tried running the phone without using it at all and using its automation feature to kill everything except widgets and background processes every 30 mins. I honestly didn't notice any battery life difference or performance except that abviously apps were slower to open if they'd been killed rather than when they were in the background.

In my opinion and based on anecdotal experiments, task killers are not necessary on the N1 and certainly nothing like as vital as they were on G1
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Bull****. Prove your statement. This isn't Windows we're talking about. Android manages tasks and memory very well, if only people let it... but for some reason people can't understand that Android WILL automatically free memory AS NEEDED. Instead they open a task killer and **GASP** see open programs!! Autostarting certain apps is actually a good thing, since often those are the apps that people tend to use often, so they load very quickly. There is always some free memory with Android, and it never lets it get to a point where that drops to 0.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
+1. I dont use any task killers and have had no problems with speed or battery life.
[Nexus One General] rookie1082:
This.

I thought a task killer was necessary and went out and spent the dollar something on Advanced Task Killer. It made me feel "good" to know what I control what apps are open. But you know what? Ever since a factory reset, I have not put the Task Killer back on my phone and it's been about a week and a half if not more of letting android control my memory... And like uansari said... Android does a very good job of it.

I have not had to close any apps because of short memory. Android does a great job. Save your money.
[Nexus One General] student.driver:
Android (and Windows for that matter) has great memory management, but it's mostly a problem of rogue apps that don't sleep properly. I have Advanced Task Manager, and I've noticed with the Nexus One I see more "applications" running (like Launcher) that didn't show up on my G1 (running Enom's 1.6 before I got my N1). I found that I had to block a bunch of apps to keep them from being closed, and I got a couple of weird bugs that seemed to stem from closing apps. One of them was this problem with the audio not be routed properly to my BT or wired headset when connected. I use the task manager much more sparingly now, and only kill apps when they act up.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I really wish we had "Cards" like the Pre, so we could always know exactly what was open. Plus, the ability to "alt-tab" (swipe back and forth) is a million times better than this "hold home button" crap. Sigh. Need better alt tabbing.
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
while i do not disagree that Android does a ok (yes, ok! just that...) job to manage tasks & processes, I disagree that it opens or keeps open apps that are necessary or frequently used. That's not Android that does it, it's the apps that tell it to do it.

for instance (as i mentioned a few posts up), everytime i boot, it opens "Documents To Go"... an app i most infrequently use, almost never, but like to have in case i have to review a doc or excel sheet on the go.

It doesn't have to open on startup, it is not frequently used, but it still opens on start up.

so yes, i do use task killer, on startup. but i use it sparingly thereafter
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
That's fine... so Document to Go opens at boot, along with other apps. My point is that as you start opening other apps, and Documents to Go stays latent, it will get closed automatically as other apps demand memory. I'm not directing this specifically at you, shmigao... just responding to a concern a lot of people seem to have. Apps automatically opening at startup is common and don't cause a performance decrease.

I have yet to experience any slowdowns on my N1, and I never use the task killer that's built into Astro.
[Nexus One General] htcmagic:
i use "automatic task killer" free from the market and my phone runs fine. I dont even have to think about it, because it clears memory when phone goes to sleep. I think it was more needed on htc magic than nexus.
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
Exactly.

I stopped using task killers on my N1 because it cause more problems and hosed my battery faster. I haven't used it in almost two weeks, and the phone is smooth and the battery lasts a lot longer.

No need for task killers on the N1, IMO.
[Nexus One General] system6:
HA! Tell me how you really feel....LOL. I have tested my wifes G1 and my old MyTouch and found it gave me about 30% more battery time.

Yes it will auto close programs when it needs the resources, just like a Palm pre, but running processes are just that.....RUNNING.
[Nexus One General] jsoverson:
I am perfectly happy with android managing my open applications and I have no concerns about RAM. My primary problem is that I am given *no* way to actually close an application if I really want to. An open application could still be polling, syncing, or updating and if I don't want that anymore how can I close it without the application developer explicitly coding an option for me to do so?

(an) Automatic task killer gives me the peace of mind that I can close applications that I use only once in a while and start with a clean slate every time I unlock the device.

I am not one of those users who places every single program there and requires a minimum amount of free ram, but I do have it cleaning up programs that have no business staying resident.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Wouldnt it by wise to use the "ignore" list many of these apps have.

That way you can have your frequenly used apps always able to quick load and the ones that you never use killed off.

I understand that Android has good memory management but I dont see the point of having some apps sitting there when I have no intention of opening them up on a regular basis.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Wow! Such heated debate over something so simple!

This isn't Android 1.0 or 1.5 or even 1.6(pretty darn good at auto closing)... this is Android 2.1 on 1ghz w/512mb RAM! The auto scaling of the CPU and the auto task closing is very, very, very good! There is no need for a task manager unless you want to use it to close something very specific because you want it closed NOW!

But there is no NEED for it, especially on the Nexus One. All it will do, if used regularly, is decrease battery life (yes, decrease, because it takes a lot more CPU power to open up an app than it takes to hold that program in the RAM's cache). As well, it will slow down your Android experience... Hero users found this one out, at least smart ones did, that the best way to keep it zipping along was to not use a task killer, except for media rich apps like youtube, music player, video player.

On a G1 running a Hero ROM, slightly different story in terms of speed, it was beneficial for several reasons; 1. Android 1.5 doesn't have nearly as good auto task management as 2.1. 2. A G1 used almost all of it's RAM to boot up the Hero ROM, and thus the auto settings were no where nearly as agressive as they would need to be.

But we are not talking about a G1 running a Hero ROM... we are talking about a Nexus One running stock Android 2.1...

If the OP, or anyone, wants a task killer, get Astro file manager, and use that. Kill the select few apps that you really want to when you get done, but don't bother getting an auto killer that messes with the already amazing job Android 2.1 and the Nexus One do!
[Nexus One General] frenchtom:
it can be useful... i use it to close certain app that autostart or keep running in the background and use the GPS franticly trying to get a location
[Nexus One General] Nedlinin:
No offense.. But, that is not an Android issue.

The applications themselves are registering themselves to be startup on boot. Discuss it with the app dev.

As others have already stated, Android is very efficient with its memory release when needed. This is the SAME argument people had with Windows Vista/7. YES, it shows a high RAM usage. That is simply because the applications are loaded into the memory. Unused RAM is worthless RAM. Load the memory with the most used/most recently used applications so that you can switch between them without having to first load them into memory.

Windows uses SuperFetch for this (which is actually extremely robust, tracking what applications you run at what times during the day and loading those into memory at that point in time.)

This is pretty simple computer design concepts.

Anyway, yes sometimes an application goes wild and uses up your CPU. That is again *NOT* Android but the application.

tl;dr: No. They aren't needed.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
This is my 1st Android & I'm impressed with it's memory management! :cool:

[Nexus One General] david1171:
APN Droid can make it so that you won't connect to data and Net Counter (I think that is what it is called) can tell you how much data you have used. Both of them should be in the market.
[HD2 General] zhix:
Just wondering if anyone else have the same problem .. it's driving me nuts during hard resets, i have been reading this forums almost everyday and don't see anyone reporting on this issue

whenever i do a hard reset and try to install all my programs. In the midst of installing the programs, Manila will randomly get corrupted and i will be unable to use the touchscreen properly. At the START menu, whatever program i touch, it will show "MOVE TO THE TOP" and i can't scroll up or down.

i have to hard reset again in order to restore Manila and install the programs very very slowly and with a lot of time lag in between programs installation. Meaning, i install program A .. wait for 1-2 hours, install program B .. wait for 1-2 hours ...

very very irriting and i seem to be able to duplicate the issue quite successfullly. I ever had to hard reset 5-7 times during the weekend, until i realise i can prevent the issue by install my programs very very slowly.

Has anyone encountered the same problem?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Does it happen if you don't install any software? I only ask in case it's a particular application that's causing the problem.

If it does happen, you should immediately get on to your supplier to arrange a replacement.
