I irony of using android and then locking it up is delicious.

Google apps don't show up on android phones unless google says they can.

Android > Manufacturer > Cell Provider

At any point, anyone can infuse whatever they want into android. in the case of the Nexus One, they squeeze in right before cell provider or instead of.

In the case of the Moto Backflip, Motorola would have to ask google to put in google apps. So moto is taking the vanilla android, adding their own stuff and whatever stuff the cell provider wants to add as well (yahoo/bing).

An adroid phone doesn't have to have google apps on it. If they choose to however they have to concede to google's rules, one of which is to not put any apps on it for the phone to have the "Google Experience".
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
The problem is these same people who choose default search engines will be the first to whine and complain when Googles "own" phones (N1) will get preferential treatment.

I think theres a fine line between open source and just creating watered down rip offs.

Android name will go through the mud with this specific level of fragmentation. OS updates are one thing this is changing the structure of day to day phone use entirely.

I also think theres a difference between letting the end user and community make changes to the phone OS , and letting a company lock in something entirely different.

Being open source doesnt necessarily mean you let someone else lock it down and turn the other cheek.

IMO Google should at least make it mandatory that all Android phones have that "Google" option when first starting up and ability to change later on. Let the end user decide not my ****in telco or country.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
I heard on a podcast that on the motorola phones, the option to set the default search engine has been removed. So you are given bing whether you like it or not, you can search bing, or you can navigate to google then search. I know what most people will do, the easiest one.

I keep reading that bing gets more users every month, but it may seem that it is not necessarily people choosing to use bing, but bing is buying more users by doing deals like this.

[Imagio General] Jobehonda:
Hi guys, long time lurker first time posting.

I have the Droid Eris and just picked up the Imagio today to see which I like best.

I noticed when pulling the cover off the imagio the plug/adapter and battery all looked very familiar. After further review it is in fact the EXACT same battery that HTC puts into the Droid Eris. I happened to order a Innocell Extended battery from Seidio. I pushed it in and it worked like a champ!

I cant post links yet but the product information is:

Product Code: BASI17HHRV

Innocell 1750mAh Slim Extended Life Battery

Under HTC Eris on their webpage.

www . seidioonline . com

Hope this helps some of you!
[Imagio General] gollums:
Link?

Is this what you were looking at? I hope so, I'd love to be able to get more battery life out of my phone!

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17hhrv.htm
[Imagio General] Toysrme257th:
I really don't mean this in the negative way it will sound, but...

The stock battery is 1500mah & replacing it with a 1750mah battery isn't worth thinking about less you have destroyed your stock lipo entirely & can not have it replaced (which verizon & HTC do)
[Imagio General] Jobehonda:
I had it around from my Eris, and I do notice a longer battery life out of the 1750. I especially need it as my apartment is like norad and I dont have much signal there, so it hops in and out of signal range, putting a drain on my battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] titan427m:
i dont know what to do. i thought i just cooked a bad ROM, but no matter which ROM i flash, after a few mins the whole phone locks up and if i restart, it wont get past either the ATT bootscreen or the HTC: quietly brilliant screen
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bright.Light:
Can you give us the precise steps you took?

Did you flash another ROM before without any problems?

Did you just flash the HSPL?

Which ROM started to give you this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
It's my 1000th post! :D

Have you tried flashing the stock rom -- in your case, the ATT stock rom?

I was having weird unexplainable problems (not the same as yours but similar), and flashing the stock T-Mo rom seemed to "fix" whatever was wrong and allowed me to go back to custom roms, and now all is well.

agent_47 also recommended something called "mitty" to "reset the nand" as a more-effective alternative to flashing the stock rom to fix my problem...but my problem hasn't returned so I haven't explored mitty.
[General Questions and Answers] sixbennetts:
Seems simple, but I can't find a wat to do it. I like to navigate to my local TV stations WAP radar site, which automatically refreshes every 5 minutes. Nice way to have live radar on my dashboard. Problem is, each time it refreshes, it changes position, and goes back to the top, and I have to scroll back down.

On my PC, I can refresh a page to whatever position I left it. Possible with mobile IE?

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] Bob Loblaw:
I was wondering if anybody knows for sure if the Micro USB port on the Nexus supports audio. I'm trying to find a single cable solution to charging the phone and listening to music in my car w/o resorting to bluetooth. I found this adapter on Amazon but:

a. It doesn't allow me to charge the unit

b. I don't know if the Nexus even supports audio through the USB

I spoke to a rep @ Google Tech Support and after some research he came back and said that it does but he didn't sound to sure of himself. I called HTC Tech Support and they were clueless and transferred me to accessories. Anyone have any idea if it supports audio, and if so, any 2-in-1 adapters out there so I can get at it (micro usb to 3.5mm jack + micro usb).

I asked this question in 2 other forums a couple days ago and so far nobody seems to know for sure.
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
If you're willing to wait i can let you know for sure tomorrow.

I have one of those adapters but its mini-usb, not micro. However, my friend has a mini to micro adapter so i can test it out tomorrow and let you know if you want.
[Nexus One General] 18.4009:
I have been wondering the same thing for my car setup. Would be great to know.

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] PhantomRampage:
Didn't work.

I'm not sure if it's because i used an adapter or not but when i tried everything went through the speakers like normal
[Nexus One General] James Bell:
I have the exact Moto adapter above (SYN2112A). I tried it and got nothing, music from the external speaker as normal. I cracked it open and found alot more electronics than I had hoped. I don't know what this adapter originally did, but it was not a simple way to route an unused microUSB pin as an audio stream.

[HD2 General] kandekid:
Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
[HD2 General] nukualofa:
search "S2U2" via google.

problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2

Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

[HD2 General] peaceboy:
You can try the HD2 Mini lockscreen cab..it's quite good, just don't use the PIN unlock.

It's slide down to unlock and it tells you any missed calls, SMS, emails etc...i quite like it actually..

You can also take a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=632637

At the bottom, the OP posted a modified 480x800 cpr file to do want you want. All you need to do is change the extension from .txt to .cpr, open file explorer and put it in the Windows\Lockscreen file and soft reset.

EDIT:

Also, if you are using the HeartofWolf Mod and would prefer to have the original larger slider size instead of the small skinny one, I've made a few modifications to his LS_LockScene_480x800 and attached it below. All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.
[HD2 General] kr00t0n:
It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more. :)
[HD2 General] rat_2665:
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread

i dont want any of that rubbish about size/memory you have a HD2 it can hack it! live the dream! :P
[HD2 General] Sean3:
Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab. :rolleyes:

Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.

If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply. :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cashless:
Let's be fair here. All Android ROM's posted are extremely slow (seemingly because the Devs don't make an attempt to optimize them). Having a Dual boot TP2 and a similarly spec'ed G1, I would have to say that Opera runs faster on the G1 in native Android than does on the TP2 in native WinMo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cashless:
Wow, that's not even why I came to this thread to post. lol. Got carried away by the obvious biases here and ran with it.

What I meant to post was that, in additional to Opera 5, try downloading OperaBridge to make Opera the default browser. Dolphin is also feature-packed, but not as fast as Opera. <- I'm making this statement regardless of the fact that I haven't tested on my TP2, just on my G1. I would expect the same results pretty much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
I know its not optimized yet. just meant in current state. ill check out that operabridge u mentioned

[Hero CDMA Android Development] rayborn:
Ok, just like all of you I have rooted, experimented to the limits and pushed them well little did i Know is that you cant reflash the 1.56 ruu so needless to say I ended up with a brick but luckily for us it will still connect in fastboot

so this is a solution to at least get it up and running

Pros-

Reactivate your phone since it will be formated

All functions will work

can still root, install .apk's use wifi etc

camera etc

so the pros are it will operate just like nothing ever happened now to the con's

YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS EVERYTIME YOU TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE

Ok here is how to fix it

Connect your phone to your PC

open command and navigate to your android tools folder

type in

fastboot devices

make sure it detects your device

should show the HTC logo on your phone

now simply type

fastboot oem boot

wait a couple minutes while your phone reboots

viola you phone is back to running again...just dont turn it off LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
can you launch the RUU again and (hopfully) have it restore your phone correctly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rayborn:
You can launch but it will still fail like before, I havent been successful in finding a full solution as of yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
hmmmm interesting man. honestly you should be able to rebuild all the / partitions. such as /misc and /radio. we need some linux junkies in this thread to tell us how to rebuild failed / partitions
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crash447:
This is amazing. Sure did work for me. I just wish there was a way to get it flash the original radio. I have only had this thing two weeks and would love to take it back and exchange it, but I am just paranoid since it shows radio 2.41.04.02.03.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
wait, what exactly did you do to get your near-bricked phone?

you used the 1.56 RUU on your phone that had a 2.xxxxxx radio?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
have you tried both of the RUU's? the original and 1.56?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rayborn:
My phone was the Sprint Hero *with Google model, so I had rooted it and loaded a custom rom on it etc and was playing around with it but I wanted to go back to stock so i flashed this ruu

RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2_signed_release

And BAM at the end error 110

wouldnt boot anylonger

spent all day on figuring out this solution
[Hero CDMA Android Development] justinisyoung:
did you try the 1.29 RUU?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rayborn:
yeah i tried every sprint hero ruu i promise you i left no stone unturned trying to fix this
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RTessi:
BRILLIANT!

I can't tell you how impressed I am that somebody has found what i now consider to be the first step towards getting the RUU 110 error solved.

I still feel that the issue comes down to the lack of ADB that seems to happen once you get 110... maybe a driver issue on the phone vs. driver issue on the computer? after all the RUU starts failing on all the ADB commands when you check out the RUU logs...

sorry i can't help take it from there, i returned my phone to sprint inside of the 30-day window and just told them something i installed form the market "bricked" my phone...

I eagerly await your results though for a final step towards solution, as I am dreading the day i have to RUU my phone for whatever reason that may be, although I've been running a personally customized Pancake ROM for almost a week and totally happy with it so won't be doing anything until 2.1 is official...

[Hero CDMA Android Development] crash447:
Same exact thing for myself. Multiple people said the way to go back to the stock radio was to use the RUU. I tried both RUU's and same results. Now I am just trying to decide what is better.

Live with this and hope for a better option to come or take back a "bricked" hero that shows Radio 2.41.04.02.03 and hope I don't end up getting charged later.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
IMHO I think the best thing for you guys to do is wait for our 2.1 update, which will more than likely have a smiliar radio update. Then you can just say the update bricked the phone.

If we get the same radio version, then just take it back, if we get a different version then maybe we can find a file to edit the number to make it say what ever version you want it to say, something like editing Build.prop. Then Sprint has nothing to ask questions about. Should be out in a few weeks if the rumors are right. Maybe you can deal with this soultion until then.

As far as the don't turn your phone off issue, mines been up for 13 days. I hate turning it off, partially because of the missed emails and partially because I worry that it won't come back up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SamXp:
Subscribing. When Sprint releases the official 2.1 in a few weeks, I was planning on using the 1.56 RUU and then doing the 2.1 update. Apparently this isn't going to be possible since I did the Radio update. What is going to be the proper way to get the 2.1 update through Spring for phones with the Radio update to keep from bricking a phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mginther:
I was of the same mind, but reading this thread has me wondering the same thing. Are we just screwed now?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
There's been plenty of people who have flashed back and forth between the radio versions, using the RUU programs...there's only been a few that have bricked from what I've read.

It's still a bit iffy on whether or not it's actually safe to go between the two, but it shouldn't matter since the new radio versions apparently work just fine with all ROM's that I've seen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SamXp:
True, and if we elect to continue to use either a Fresh or Damageless version of an official 2.1 Sprint ROM, then we should be ok. But if we wanted to go to the Sprint ROM, there are going to be a lot of bricked phones if there isn't a way to understand what is going on when a 1.56 RUU is used over a phone with the 2.x Radio update.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crash447:
Just wanted to pass along some more information in case anyone else is having this problem. I had reactivated an old phone temporarily since this one was bricked. This morning I reactivated my hero due to this semi fix and immediately I could call and textimg was fine, but i kept getting vision error 67 for data. Sprint reset my data about three times and it never worked. I tried updating my profile multiple times and it never worked. Finally I Ran the RUU again and sure enough after a reboot or an "oem boot" I had error 67again. I went ahead and updated my profile and this time it worked and data started working. Still hoping someing else comes along though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danimal_01:
well I think the issue here might be that it does not have the recovery backup on it after you do an RUU. I could be wrong but who knows? I would say install flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk on your phone once you are able to get it up and running then flash the recovery backup and restart. That could possibly fix the issue? I have the files if anyone needs them, I'm not sure how to upload them on here...

~Danny
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I'm not sure if it's possible boot into recovery console using this method, but if you can, has anyone tried manually flashing the old radio in the same manner they flashed the new one to revert back and then RUU. Perhaps that may do the trick.

My phone isn't bricked so I can't try it out, but seems like it might be worth a shot in theory.
