Nope. It does not fix it (anymore?), and I have to re-sync 4 years of calendar. Damn.

Which is not possible, since google only allows a sync back of 8 months. Sh*. How did I ever do that when I booted first time :wall: I have a couple of words banging around my head now... And they are not nice words.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hoston:
I have used some api of plantform, such as opening GPS:

Settings.Secure.setLocationProviderEnabled (resolver, LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,! Enabled);

This interface is not present in the SDK, needs to share authority with the system like this:

android: sharedUserId = "android.ui.system" (In AndroidManifest.xml file)

I use the Milestone, how can I get platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pem file to sign APK ?

Hi,

I used to use the free version of Astro File manager which had the option to enable browser downloads.

Now that Astro has become a paid app, i wanted to know if there is any other app which can do this for me.

Thanks

Chinmay
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
astro is not yet a paid app. they have recenly upgraded their version of the software. you can go to the market and upgrade for free. I just updated today.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vermithrax:
There is also another app called "Download Crutch", there is a lite version as well, that will allow you to download pretty much any type of file from the browser. They are both free, but I am not sure if they are in the market anymore. A Google search should yield you a copy though...

Works fine on my G1 running latest CM ROM, as well as any other I have tried really...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmayfun:
thanks

download crutch is nt available in the market..

will try to find in on google...

Astro is free for a limited time... later again it becomes a problem...

Not trying to start any fights here but Obama is going to run this country in the ground. He just passed something that says we will not use nukes on other country's if they bomb us with bio/chemical weapons so lets say some foreign country sent anthrax to downtown Manhattan and murdered 10,000+ people, we wouldn't nuke them, we probably wouldn't even fight back. So he is basically telling the enemy's to go ahead and bomb us, we will not fight back. They also committed to not developing any new nuclear warheads, So while Russia is our building new and improved warheads we are letting ours go out of date. Just like the stimulus bill that spend what like 8 billion dollars, has that really helped us any? When Carter was president he tried to spend money while we were in debt did it work? No it did not work then it will not work now. Hell they say they are trying to save money when he has already spent more money and taken more trips on his big Boeing 747 than Bush did the whole time he was in office and they are still trying to blame bush for all the debt. I could go on and on but im sure this forum has a character limit for each thread. The US needs to go back when Reagan was president that's when this country flourished.

I am sorry to do this, but I'm closing this thread because we have a rule that says we do not discuss religion or politics:

We just feel that there is too much potential for argument and that there are many other sites where these things can be discussed. So with apologies to the OP, this is something we avoid. It may be that this thread have continued without problems, but opening the door to political discussions generally would give us poor down-trodding Mods a bit of a headache.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TTJB:
I have a question for anyone that can be of assistance. I am looking to upgrade myself and my wife from our old antiquated HTC Wizard finally. The problem is I dont want to lose our grandfathered 5.99 data plan through the upgrade. I'm looking for 3g phones that people have upgraded to without problems. This also has to be done with a plan ( I know it would be easier to by a phone outright but unfortunately I don't have the money for that now.) So please any suggestions? Thanks for all of your help.
[Click General] ragzy:
Hello!

I'm still not sure about the tattoo, but since alot has with the development in the past months I thought I'd ask a couple of questions concerning your current satification kwith the HTC Tatttoo.

1. If you think about the issues that where real in the beginning (a big part of the market was closed for tattoo owners etc), how has these issues changed (perhaps many has disappeared now that you have root/custom roms?

2. Do you regret not buying a phone with a biger screen/higher resoluton? If so, which phone would you have bought instead for around 400 USD / 300 EUR.

3. For those who have tested a 2.1 rom on the Tattoo: Does 2.1 make the phone more responsive and less laggy (if you experienced lag before)? Does it solve any other issues that you had with the device?

4. How long are you planning to stick with the Tattoo before upgrading to another (android) phone?

5. What are your thoughts of the build quality of the device?

6. Would you recommend buying the htc Tattoo today concidering the price range stated in question #2?

Any other thoughts are also welcome=)

Thanx!
[Click General] dom_b:
1. Still not great. I didn't realise the resolution of the device was going to limit it so much. Plus the camera doesn't have autofocus so barcode scanners dont work among other things.

2. I regret it, but its a free contract phone and im not paying £40 a month for an iphone.

3. not tested but may do soon!

4. Not impressed with android tbh...

5. Feels solid for the money. No complaints.

6. I personally wouldn't recommend it. Its a fun toy but a terrible phone. I think its far to slow. Hopefully this will change with future updates but I would stay away.
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
1. I've noticed that many apps became available later in the Market after devs added the QVGA tag for them. But it's still something greatly missed.

2. The smaller screen is a slight disadvantage which I was fully aware of when purchasing it, though the 7 home screens kinda make up for it.

3. I will test 2.1 in the weekend. Apparently it is much faster than 1.6.

4. Probably till the end of this year.

5. I'm pleased with the build quality. No issues there.

6. All I can say is weigh the pros and cons and decide for yourself. I bought this just to gain experience with Android.
[Click General] ragzy:
Thanx alot for your input guys!

Sorry for the long questions, I thought I wouldn't get any answers because of that=)

I'd really like to hear about how you experienced 2.1, and I hope

that it will provide you with a richer experience!

Me and my brother are currently looking at both the HTC Tattoo and the samsung i5700 "spica". Both phones has issues though.

What worries me the most is that the Tattoo might be a bit laggy and that is why I have such hopes in 2.1.

The Tattoo also seems more sturdy than the spica and I'm almost certain that I will accidently drop it some time.

I also like the fact that you can change the cover.

Some follow up questions: For those who has tried phones with a wider color range(?) than Tattoos 65k, spica has ~16 million,

will I really notice that much difference? I saw that the Hero had 65k too and that phone was a huge sucess.

3. Some reviews state that the resolution makes some text look blurred, is this something you have experienced?

How is the screen quaity in general (considering color range is only 65k) and what about video playback?

It's a shame that you can't try the phones in the stores here.
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
I tried installing 2.1 today, but I got to the Tattoo screen during startup, and then went to a blank screen. Waited for about 10 mins. So recovered the phone, and installing other ROM's now.

PS: I'm in MOD-installing-mood this weekend!
[Click General] jporch316:
I personally notice the lack of colour depth (coming from touch diamond) but its a payoff to having a phone that will fit comfortably in my pocket (unlike the Hero = chin)

Theres not that much blurriness (imho) but you can notice it. Overall its a good android experince but I will be looking to the desire or legend for my next phone as long as they pass my pocket test!!
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
So I tried installing it again after wiping my phone, and it installed fine. It's REALLY fast. Nice animations between opening windows. Bluetooth File transfer works after installing the BFT app. It was certainly a richer experience. Despite its current flaws, I'll be using it as my primary OS.
[Click General] gengaro:
Hi mate!

With custom ROMs, the Market is fully available for Tattoo owners. This was the biggest issue I've had, since I'm a big lover of Twidroid and I can mark it as *SOLVED*!

Well, the only real problem I have had is the full-qwerty keyboard in portrait mode. It's just a matter of attitude, though. Having used it for 4 months now, I'm able to write very long text messages in a very short time (even if I mainly twit :D), and most of the time I disable the automatical corrector as I write both in Italian and in English. The very first days I was in a real pain, coming from a simple T9 Nokia, I felt the full-qwerty was really uncomfortable, but now everything is changed and I can't live without my full qwerty :D

So, I don't regret. Anyway, before buying the Tattoo I was taking some several looks at the Hero which should now cost around 300 EUR.

I've never experienced lag with Tattoo but I'm not a big fan of gaming. I mainly use it for music, Google Maps (man, this is amazing!! I was in holiday some days ago with my gf and we were looking for a damn archeological site which was not on our map and not on the road signals, after walking around for about 30 mins I fired up Google Maps, searched for "Archeological Site" and BANG! He got us there, amazing. AFAIK, no GPS software is capable of such a search tool!), Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube and all of those stuff you can do online.

The only way to make the phone very laggy is to use the RadioFM along with the GPS, but it's not a "daily" thing you do I guess.

As for the 2.1 ROM it's amazing. Even if it has not Camera and some stuffs are buggy, it's a GREAT ROM, man it's faster than hell, amazing animations, rewritten Messagging and Google Talk apps which are GREAT, every contact has its own tab which is more than good-looking and.. it's great!

TBH, I'm already planning to change the phone but this has nothing to do with the Tattoo, it's only that I really love the Nexus One and I'm waiting for the summer as it should be available in Italy and I should have enough money :D But, really, nothing to do with Tattoo, it's perfect for me.

And.. this is a bad point. The plastic in which the stock cover is built it's not perfect. After a couple of months I've had some scratches (not in the display, though) and I'm now buying a new cover.

Yes. If that is your budget and if you don't plan in gaming all day long the Tattoo is definitely a perfect phone for you. As you can see, I'm enthusiastic with it, I use it all day, I tweet, I go to Facebook while I'm on the train, I Google, I maps, I read newspapers, I.. do almost everything. Perfect.
[Click General] Bikers:
i like my tattoo very much. i paid 60-70 euros for it and since I'm a quad rider I usually wear gloves and the screen let's me handle the phone without taking them off.

if my other phone was ok i would have waited for Nexus to launch.

probably in 2011 i will sell it or when nokia morph is launched... :-??
[Click General] jporch316:
Hey Sheik - I didnt realise the devs had a rom that was that close to being the finished item - any other probs withthe rom - i.e. all of the widgets and screen sizes ok? 3g or data and wifi ok etc?
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
Most of the perks, I can live with. Wi-Fi is a little dodgy, but I can partly blame my router for that. Speed and connectivity problems even with the stock ROM. Of all the widgets I have, they work fine. The Music player needs to be worked on as its size exceeds the Tattoo screen both in portrait and landscape mode. My phone doesn't have 3G. I'm still stuck on 2G, and it works just fine.
[Click General] ragzy:
Thanx everyone for your replys!

Here is an update from me=)

I have had a spica home for testing but I'm sending it back today I did not like the build qualiy, also has less ram than tattoo, and no sense ui). Me and my brother got the spica for the same price as e new htc tattoo (spica was B-grade" though). No more B-grade for me, one of the charger pins was a bit bend and both the charger and the phone was really dusty, the seller assured it was not in "used condition" though.

I can't help but wonder if the Tattoo would have been a better choise=P

As Genargo pointed out, the tattoo seems to handle 2.1 pretty well (while other sources state that samsung spica lags when scrolling through menues and pulling up the menu (even though this is a official 2.1 release).

But our android craving has been put on ice, atleast for the moment.

That sums it up quite nicely, I mean that is is for these kind of moments I want a android phone with me music / gaming and video (divx) is not that important. I guess I see it as a more portable netbook.

Perhaps I should wait and see how android matures, I bet there will be many new models this year. It's amazing how fast android is evolving. Too bad there is no perfect device, I bet there never will be. Another thing that worries me os the dust problem on bothe the HTC hero, Nexus one and the desire (?). Dust underneath the screen would drive me mad=P

Right now there does not seem to be a android phone with a really nice and sturdy buid quality out there. Legends aluminum would scratch too easyli in my opinion and I don't like the cheap feel of the buttons. Hero feels great, too bad that it has the "dust issue"=/

I used the following workaround :

- download from the market the Qik Video application

- open a free account on Qik.com and edit your account preferences so you can share your videos on youtube, facebook,etc

-run the application on your phone and browse your local saved videos (you don't have to actually record the video with the qik application).

-upload your video to your qik.com account (no file size restriction or connection method restriction)

-go to qik.com and login into your account

-share the video on youtube

Hope it helps.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
i tried the one-click root method to no avail, i havent tried the gold card method and i really dont want too. as soon as i install flashrek.apk and get to the recovery flasher screen, it only gives me two options: download recovery image, and backup recovery image. (SD is formatted and and already downloaded). after that the options dont change and stays with the two given options.

i really want to root my phone because i previously had a G1/Magic that i was able to root easily and had no problems with it, ive tried on several occasions and still have not been able to root it.

any helps or links will be helpful, and ive already tried searching on this site.

thanks. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sanman1185:
best thing i can recommend is go to " the unlockr dot com" (no spaces) im new so cant put URL's in reply: search this video, "how to root the Mytouch 3g Or G1 in one click" that is the video i used to help me root my MyTouch 3G (32B).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
well, that is the video and the site that i used. the problem is that after i selected "backup image" and typed in /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img there is no option to Flash, it just says restore backup image, and reboot into recovery mode.

i really need some help, i wish i stuck with my G1 :confused:

also, when opening linda file manager, it doesnt show the flashrec as an android, just as a gear in front of a window. which isnt like any other video ive seen. and ive been through several different flashrecs and recovery images.

help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sanman1185:
first question i have, is what "firmware" do you have on your MyTouch, 1.5 or 1.6

or something else.

and is it the original MyTouch without the 3.5mm jack?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
its the original release mytouch. it had 1.6 but i downgraded back to 1.5 easily. no headphone jack.

its 32B

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sanman1185:
instead of using the rec image from the unlockr, try using this one from these forums, its the most recent recovery img from amon RA and i'm currently using it. follow the steps under "via terminal"... might want to download "android terminal Emulator" from the market, its free and you can get the onscreen keyboard in the terminal by holding down the "Menu" button... http : // forum . xda - developers . com/showthread.php?t=530492 (no spaces)

this is the recovery img that i am using on minez

recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G-blue.img

make sure you downlod the "G" not the "H"

also, i see every one sayin this, so i might aswell also, im only assisting in your quest to root your device, obviously if anything should go wrong and your device malfunctions or decides to call it quits, i cant be held responsible...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
thanks for the info, ill try this out when i have some free time, and report on how it goes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
so will this root the device, or just flash the recovery image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Lation:
@Panda* - What sanman1185 had posted was the recovery image flasher. :]
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
Yep, you'll have to root it before using what he posted for you lol. Your method shouldve just worked with flashrec, weird. Next time, post as much details as you can. What is everything you see in fastboot? Or maybe someone who rooted a 32b could help you. I had a 32A on 1.5 which ran flashrec easily.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
when put in fastboot the info given is:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32 B

HBOOT-1.33.0006

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

when i had my G1 i used something similar to the gold card method, but it worked with the SanDisk card that im using with this phone as well, thats why i think its weird that its not working as a gold card with a mytouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sanman1185:
Panda - mybad i knocked out, was up all night, what i'm doing right now is unrooting my phone and then going to make a step by step vid for ya on youtube to see if seeing is better than reading, lol... should have the vid up in about an hour or so and i will post the link in here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sanman1185:
alright, i cant for the life of me get this dam DIGI cam to work. Sorry, i'm gonna keep trying it, but see if this helps

i did successfully "Unroot" and then "Root" With Cyanogen Recovery and am running his latest ROM... the link for the flashrec.apk in the unlockr wont allow you to run the Cyanogen backup becuz it states it nolonger is applied to it... so here is the link to the flashrec.

http:// www.ryebrye. com/blog/2009/08/16/android-rooting-in-1-click-in-progress/

- no spaces, again in any of the links i post.

scroll down some and then you should see "Install the Apk" section,

the link for the download should end in "20090815.apk"

1. copy that to your pc and then the root of your sdcard

2. download a file manager (on your phone), (i.e. Astro or Linda)

3. make sure "unknown sources" is checked

-settings, applications, Unknow sources

4. click the flashrec file, and install, then open

5. do the BACKUP first, and then click "Flash Cyanogen 1.4"

6. you can now power off device, and turn back on into recovery

- Home + Menu Key

link to Cyanogen Donut ROM for MyTouch 3g, its real good, fast no lag that i can see.

its youtube vid and dude has all the info you need for downloads in the description.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
alrite cool thanks so much, im gonna try this as soon as i get home!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Panda*:
awesome thanks man, it worked perfectly, i guess i just needed the right flashrec, because once i put it on my sd card, everything came together.

got a link to any good roms? :D
