Autokiller does have a built in task killer but its real use is to tweak memory settings at boot and then shuts itself down (so Android can take care of the rest). So, in reality it is not really a task killer per say.
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
Fair enough, but it's still entirely pointless. I trust the device manufacturer and Android far more than I ever would the random numbers that I might otherwise delude myself into believing were somehow better.

Just let Android do its thing all of the time. It doesn't need any additional help (particularly with the process management in 2.1). Stop including this garbage in ROMs.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
It actually very useful for making roms run smoother. By default the memory numbers are very low, which lets a TON of apps run at the same time. The higher the memory numbers the more it ends apps that you werent even using. It gives what you are currently running or recently ran more priority. Even if you dont use AutoKiller, which is just an app to adjust the memory setting, every rom comes with an edited memory setting other then htc's default. Its most commonly known as gumbo's memory settings.

Also in AutoKiller you can adjust the settings to default, or just really low like htc would have them set.

Its really not a bad thing to include in roms because most people want there rom to be smooth and as close to lag free as they can get. AutoKiller helps achieve that by ending stuff you dont currently have up making the phone run faster. Thats if you have a decently set setting. I run mine on optimum, and it doenst close unnecessary things like if im on the web it stays running.

I can understand an app like Task Killer which just terminates the apps. AutoKiller is just setting the memory setting of your phone, which end apps the same way as if the phone were running normally. Just if the numbers are higher the more apps it will end quicker freeing up more space.

Also you really trust htc and sprint?? haha good luck with that
[Hero CDMA General] vedwed:
Either way it should be a choice made by the USER not someone who decides what I need or do not need on my phone. What I choose to have running or not running, there is no need for this garbage for the average joe who just wants something that does not look and feel like Sprint garbage. If its such a great and useful thing put it on the market and let users have a choice.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
Here's a choice you could make instead of complaining: UNINSTALL IT.

There you go.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
No reason to complain about a dev including Autokiller (or for that matter, anything else in their rom) because it can be uninstalled. Just be thankful that there are devs here who give us MUCH better roms than what is supplied by Sprint/HTC, because quit frankly.....the devs here dont have to provide you with jack ****.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
You should learn a little about the OS before you spout off about things you don't understand.

#1. The phone autokills tasks out of the box. It's part of the operating system. If that bothers you, may I suggest WinMo, or Palm, or RIM, or Apple?

#2. The autokiller simply changes the settings at which the PHONE decides to kill an app. No developer has decided that a specific piece of software needs to be killed. THE PHONE decides based on idle time, how much memory it's using (which can be left at 'stock' settings, or modified by autokiller or a similar application) and the CPU usage.

So basically, the built in operating system already does this. Out of the box. Autokiller just makes it more efficient. (Or less if you decide not to use aggressive settings).

You can uninstall it and stick with stock settings if you like...but even then it's not the USER who gets to decide what gets killed....it's the OS.

Oh. And it IS on the Market. Just an FYI.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Nicely said.. I would also like to add, and I said it before. Almost all of the custom roms we have dont even have stock memory settings. Most are slightly tweaked in some way, usually above stock.
[Hero CDMA General] MagnusRagnarok:
adb you very much....

Clearly you do not understand what that this is a developer site since you are insulting them.Learn what you are speaking about before you comment. If you dont like the garbage REMOVE it, or better yet dont even dl the rom; make your own mods and quit crying. You should try contributing to the community in some way other than negativity because we do not need it. You shouldve just hung out on phandroid and waited for Sprint to release 2.1. Learn something about android before you waste any more of your time commenting please.

I am wondering if I can connect my Laptop wirelessly to my Eris Droid's wi-fi signal.

I have already figured out how to tether, via the USB cable, but can I connect wirelessly too?
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
as far as i know there are a lot of free wifi tethering apps , but you need root access. I'm fairly certain PDAnet will do bluetooth tethering... but that's the 30 dollar paid version.

I just recently figured out how to tether my laptop to my Eris, however, I am unable to access my FTP sites. Is there a firewall within the Eris that is blocking FTP access?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palmbxr:
most *free* or lite tether apps have limitations on sites you can visit. I'm going to say yes.

Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjlaird:
Perhaps I didn't ask the question properly.

I connect my Eris to my laptop via the USB Cable. Then I use PDAnet to give my laptop internet connection.

Using my laptop, I should be able to access anything on the internet, shouldn't I? Isn't this "normal" internet connection?

However, when I try using my FTP software to upload files to one of my website, I cannot get a connection to the IP address I am trying to access. I can only assume it is blocked since it will work on a direct internet connection.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverramsrt:
If you're using windows, try disabling windows firewall.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] listyb01:
If you are using the "free" or trial version of PDAnet then you will not have access to FTP/http sites. The full version should work just fine, firewall or not.

Quote form their site "Note: Once trial expires, you can continue using PdaNet for free. The only difference is that free edition blocks secure web sites. "

Hi

Is there an app that will allow me to either blacklist and reject calls, or direct them to a virtual voicemail box ?

Virtual VM being within the phone not the carrier ?

I had a similar app on my Nokia N95 8GB.

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] n-j-f:
You don't need a seperate app. Just add them as a contact and select Send to voicemail. Not tried it though.
[Desire Themes and Apps] saayinla:
I use that a lot problem is your phone still rings then it goes to voicemail, would have been lot better if it went straight to voicemail...
[Desire Themes and Apps] n-j-f:
Maybe you can create an mp3 file of silence then set that as the ringtone for those contacts you want to send to voicemail. Will that work?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Cleargrey:
I just came here about to post the same thing!

Individual blocking on a case by case basis is fine. But not powerful enough. I came from Nokia E series and the only thing I miss is Advanced Call Manager.

If you look up this program, what you will find is that it has some great features:

- You can set up many lists then just tell the phone to use the list for a whitelist or blacklist.

- You can block all unknown numbers.

- Block everyone. Essentially turns phone into pager.

Even blocking calls is done in a variety of ways.

- to voicemail

- to busy tone

- block and send sms

- divert to various numbers depending on mode

Etc.

As you can see, it is a very powerful program that is set up very easily and I never had any complains, only praise. I often used it when I was writing when I would only want my partner and my mother to contact me and would block everyone else.

I have been looking but can't see anything as powerful or as highly rated. What I've found are:

aFirewall

Extreme Call Blocker

Phone Armor C.

But these seem either basic or don't work reliably.

:(
[Desire Themes and Apps] _Dejan_:
For WM is avalible program which allow you all this. It is called MagiCall I hope that for Android is avalible something that. I hope that Im not do mistake when Im order Desire because looks like Android is not good as WM can be(missing a lot of features which are normal: USB sync like activesync, blocking calls... )

Here you go, not so difficult to find.

I have it now for approximately 1.5 week and I am happy about the bug fixes (sms), but to be honest I don't find the battery life to be an improvement... Well, if you don't use the phone than it's definitely an improvement but for example 30 minuts of youtube let the battery drain for 18/19 percent... I find that a lot, but maybe my demands are too high ;)
[HD2 General] tonyjansen:
I offer to disagree on the battery life. I'm a heavy user considering phone calls and email, approx 2,5-3 hours of conversation a day, my HD2 used to run out of juice around 3pm, now i can make it on one single charge untill approx 5:30 pm, just in time to connect it to my car charger. If that's not reasonably heavy usage and improvement, then i don't know what is.

BTW, if you check the memm and processor usage of the YouTube app, the term bloatware comes to mind.
[HD2 General] RicksterX:
Seems fine

Mine was pretty trouble free on Vodafone 1.43 and definitely no complaints about their upgrade apart from the time it took. Everything seems a bit more slick and stable.

I have not seen much improvement in battery life. I guess it depends on what you use it for. Have installed the 2G/3G switching cab which seems to help a bit but it is Skype that kills my battery. I used to run skype (via Fring) on my old Nokia with no noticeable difference.
[Desire Themes and Apps] albert_htc:
Anyone any advise on the best skype, voip, sip apps ??

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] Karolis:
If you need to make skype-to-skype calls then Fring and Nimbuzz. If you just need to make paid calls, Skype Lite should do.

Best sip app is sipdroid.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
what's sip?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Karolis:
It's one of VoIP protocols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol
[Desire Themes and Apps] Cleargrey:
I have to say that I used fring the other day to do a skype to skype call over wifi, and the quality was bad - delayed audio, crackling, general low audio quality. My partner has the skype client for iPhone, and her call quality is, to be honest, amazing. It sounds better than calling on mobiles (when calling over wifi).

I hope this is not common and I would love for someone to tell me if Nimbuzz has good call quality over wifi.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Karolis:
I had the same experience with fring over wifi. No point in even trying 3G.

Why don't you just go ahead and test nimbuzz yourself?
[Desire Themes and Apps] JaykaySLO:
nimbuzz has better sound quality than Fring. Do not know about the comparison to iphone skype app.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
What is this Skype Lite?

Is this the one for Verizon Wireless?

http://www.skype.com/download/skype/android/

But this one is useless to me because it cannot be used with WiFi ...

And it is only for Verizon :(

I just dont get this, why Skype does not make generic full native client for Android?

Google does not allow it?

Skype does not know how to code?

Patents?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
I really can't believe we can't get an official skype app for android.......
[Desire Themes and Apps] Rogem:
I think most mobile networks do not want people making calls over Skype because it goes over VoIP the voice network - So your network would lose out on charging you.

However, I just found out you can install Skype Lite beta on the HTC Desire and it makes calls/IM's. If you look on google for "Android Freeware - Skype Lite Beta" you should find it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Does it work via Wi-Fi?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Luke_Hero:
If you have the phone on 3 (three.co.uk) contract you get free skype-to-skype calls for life :)

Now if only everyone in the world went on three, we'de never have to pay for a call to anywhere in the world again lol :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] Rogem:
The chat/skype>skype feature works via the 3g/data/WiFi however landline calls goes via your phone's voice network (charging your network minutes).

But then we would all be on the 3 network :P

Can anyone tell me how much battery gmail uses if i have sync on and recieve maybe 5-6 emails a day? from what i read some people say almost nothing and some people say alot so i dont know what to think
[Nexus One General] mjwatmough:
Not really sure how to quantify it but I'd say not a lot. When I have sync on, receiving about 20 emails a day I notice no significant difference in battery life compared to when I have sync off.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Depends on how many emails you receive, more emails more battery eaten.
[Nexus One General] christiankk:
How long is a piece of string?

No one can answer that question for you. Clearly the battery drain depends on how many emails you receive.

So, try it out for yourself.
[Nexus One General] innisdb:
obviously it depends on how many mails you recieve a day thats why i specifically said 5-6....
[Nexus One General] christiankk:
Aha - in that case I'd say it will use around 10.

I can't see from what you've written how large these emails are.

For instance 5-6 small emails can cause the same drain as 1 big email.

Again, no-one can answer the question in a meaningful way for you.
[Desire General] thebosh:
Apologies for starting a new thread, but haven't seen anyone else with this unique situation.... just been to pick up my new HTC Desire from the sorting office, and they've sent me not one, but two - thanks T-Mobile!!

Has this happened to anyone else? I assume I will be on two seperate contracts if I keep quiet... What should I do, given how tempting this appears to be on the surface?!
[Desire General] lukaswat:
Heh, i think you should just keep it somewhere until T-Mobile find out their error.. i think its like a 2 month period after which you can keep it! Dont know the laws in the UK though.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
At the very least, I would call them up asking how many numbers I have on my account. Did they send you another sim?

I ask because I upgraded, and was sent my phone from Carphonewarehouse, but I was sent another sim card. And it's not a replacement as the package shows it's separate number. I called to ask how many numbers I have on my account as they've sent me another sim, the lady laughed (she had a sexy voice actually, but that's for another time!) and she told me that I have one number and she has no idea what I should do with the extra sim.

So just make sure you aren't paying for two then either:

1. Return it - and go to heaven with a clear soul,

2. Keep it as a spare - not making any significant gains and being morally grey,

3. Sell it, - make significant gains, and go to hell knowing that you made some money in the recession by someone's mistake. You'll save money on heating down there!

Lol :D
[Desire General] irkan:
Lol ... i say return it, you didnt pay for it so it doesnt belong to you

if you sold it or kept it, you will probably not get in trouble (am not a lawyer though), because its not your mistake its theirs, .. but remember, ... what goes around comes around ;)
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Yeah, I didn't mention karma. But I'm a business man.

[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
Lol if you sell if or keep it, yes you are breaking the law if they can prove that you realized that this was in fact a mistake.

[Desire General] koresh692000:
For my sins and to help me pay for nice new mobiles, I am a lawyer and OnlinePredator is right - you cannot profit from someone else's mistake where it was obvious to you that it was a mistake.

[Desire General] supasye:
dont listen to these guys they're just jealous u have two.

u just need to find out how many numbers there are on your account whether u wait for ur first bill or call them up.

hpoefully u didnt sign for both packages but just say u recieved one.
[Desire General] wendy75:
As a previous poster mentioned I would check with T-Mobile to see how many numbers are on my account. If it is just the one, I would keep the other handset and see if T-Mobile eventually relaise their mistake.
[Desire General] thebosh:
Hmmmm... think I'll go down the "clear soul" route!! Thanks guys for your helpful comments... I'll let you know what T-Mobile say!
[Desire General] wendy75:
A similar thing happened to me many years ago.

[Desire General] Cleargrey:
This is kinda amusing. But if you want legal speak, the lawyer (humans made after all the souls had been allocated, LOL!) is right. There have been various cases, especially with banks, where people have been, erm... "allocated" items, money even company pay, that wasn't meant to go to them. As much as years later, they were made to give it back. In the same that that in various countries you have many years to take legal action after certain events.

But you have taken a higher path, the path of the spiritually enlightened. You are a pure soul. Arise and take your rightful place with the blessed Android community. Arise my brethren.

[Desire General] NutsyUK:
Actualy im pretty sure the ownous is on the company to correct a mistake... Large somes of money is one thing but for items there is a grace period where you must keep it boxed and ready to be given back...
