Hi folks,

I'm looking for a comfy headset (or two) for a TyTn II & Athena 100.

I love the remote here:

http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b150195.jpg

...but hate these type of ear pieces.

Is there anything similar with a headset or that will allow a PC (stereo) headset to be used?

Cheers!
[General Accessories] Darkzy55:
..

ill think you'll find that headset allows you to use different headsets (3.5mm) however i just ordered the htc u110 adaptor ... check that out ?
[General Accessories] JustSomeGeek:
Yep, you're right, it does! :-)

Seems to be an HC E100 which i just ordered on Fleabay for under 14 quid.

I looked at the u110 but there's not enough buttons on it lol.

Cheers for the info!

My friend got it from UAE for me. i live in Pakistan. man this phones suks a**. well if not phone at least the software does! i am quite fed up with this. no games, nothing! yes it has some powers over 5800xm, but 5800xm makes up for it in many ways and so i love it. and any skins for win media player? cant find anywhere... please guys can you post them to me? everything to make my life easier with this machine? i got to know this website after i searched htc on Google. so finally after sometime when this pda started making my life hell i thought to join this forum and get expert help.

Keep up the good job.;)
[Touch2 General] TangerineTractor:
To be honest mate, nobody is going to offer you much help if you come on here spouting rubbish and criticising the device. The Mega is avery good device, as good as anything out there for similar money. There are areas of this forum dedicated to updating the ROM, so have a loook on there. The updates are nearly all superficial, just changing the appearance a bit and removing some unwanted apps that some people believe make the device run slower, although I have found no noticeable difference. CHeck out the ROM Development section. You need to do the HARD SPL stuff to unlock your device, then choose one of the ROMS and install it.

This reply started of as a moan at you for your attitude, but has unintentionally turned into some advice you wanted. We are all users and purchasers of this device, not the manufacturers. A bit of politeness and manners will get you a lot more assistance than the arrogant aggressive attitude you started with.
[Touch2 General] Uppy:
I agree with TangerineTractor, you come in here, moaning the phone is s**t, dont bother looking in the section marked "ROM Development" and expect other people to point you exactly where to go??? We arent gonna hold your hand and show you around the damn forums. Dont be so lazy.

As for critisizing the phone, you dont like it? splash out more cash and get a different phone. We dont care if you like it or not and dont want your life story.
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
Dude, the new roms wont change your opninion on the phone for sure, they are just vision. You dont like it - sell it and buy another one. But to compare it with 5800 hahahaha that made me laugh, Nokia and Symbian is the biggest sh*t out there imo.
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
ok... first of all why are you all bashing me? you want me to make a video of this crap getting on my nerves? tell me some well a little bit about how good this cellphone is? come on tell me the plus points as you said its a good device. and i cant forget the guy who said Nokia is rubbish hmm may be but again prove how in the hell is 5800xm is rubbish and if it is why the f are the sales so high? is it me or you are the odd one out? yes i did look in rom development area. and yes i need you to guide me there, coming and acting all superior and bashing me aint such a good way to greet a new user. i asked for help that's it.
[Touch2 General] Uppy:
Did it occure to you that:

A) "Bashing" the phone and all that might offend the people who LIKE the phone

B) No, we are NOT here to guide you, people will offer advice when it is requested in a courteous manner. You do not come here EXPECTING people to be gracious and polite when you start a topic in the way you did.
[Touch2 General] EnglishSoccer:
some mothers do have them
[Touch2 General] kinglozzer:
No, no one wants you to make a video about this 'crap' phone.

Pretty much everyone in this forum section has purchased this phone, so when you start saying how rubbish it is and how much you regret buying it - people will, quite fairly, get annoyed with you.

"Coming and acting all superior and bashing [you]" I would say is a more than fair way to greet you - as it isn't half as offensive as the way you greeted everyone else.

Also, this is my first post - so hi :)
[Touch2 General] cimber:
bashing sucking etc

I believe that the best would be for you, visiting an psycholgist !

I'm personally using the device since month's and am satisfied with it.

Maybe you should specify what sucks, whats bashing etc.

So far I was using all kind of versions from Nokia, but what the Mega is offering to the user was NEVER reached by any Nokia device

Regards

cimber
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
first of all you all speak like i say abused you as a child or cursed your family in start of my topic? is that so? the way you, most of you are speaking i can speak too but hey lets see i am not as mad as you have gotten with your self.

wanna help, thanks. if not then no need to bounce on my balls. wanna start war on which cellphone is good or bad most welcome, but come to appropriate section. and gsmarena plus whole of the web is your friend. i am wrong? well then...

Cimber oh btw here in Pakistan there's nothing as locked device like your companies do. no doubt you hate Nokia. not your fault i know.
[Touch2 General] ndru_zap:
dude... WTF..??!!!

why you have to be so harsh in here??

if you don't like it, that's fine. but keep it for yourself.

we all he
[Touch2 General] Fallen Spartan:
I've closed this thread as everyone is just bashing each other. @ Gothik - People are bashing you due to your attitude in first post. Users will take offence if you just create a new thread and start criticising a phone a lot of people have bought. In future, a little more tact would be better ;)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast rock:
Hi :)

I used "Gmarks" on Firefox to import my bookmarks to Google bookmarks, then "Google Bookmark Import" on X10 to import it to the Browser. It worked, but it's not really syncing! it's just importing once.

Is there any way to sync bookmarks to an Android phone?

SE provides bookmarks syncing in X10 using "Sony Ericsson Sync" but you have to add it manually either in the Browser or in your account in their web site.

Any Ideas?

Fairly new to custom ROMs... Started with Damage 2.0.2 and been updating all the way through to 2.0.7.2, but never attempted the A2SD. Can someone point me to a good how to guide on setting this up for the first time. I have found a few forum how-to's on switching SD cards with A2SD, but most things i am finding with searches are assuming it is already setup.

Please attach links or paste in a simple how-to for me. Thanks.

Also, will I be able to keep this ROM intact, (i know i will have to backup the SD card to repartition it...), but will i have to wipe the ROM as well after the ext is built to reinstall the ROM?
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
Make a copy of your SD card to your computer.

Reboot into recovery.

Partition Your SD card, I used 0 swap and 380 something for the ext.

Toggle MS through recovery and copy your SD card files back to your card.

Reboot.

Get Quick System Info from the market.(It shows how much memory is left on your partition, basically an easy way to tell if it worked)
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
What do you mean by toggle MS through recovery?
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
It's an option in recovery it allows you to view your SD card on you computer. MS stands for Mass Storage.
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
So how do I move the current apps over to the SD card once it is partitioned and up and running?
[Hero CDMA General] e30user:
http://geekfor.me/faq/apps2sd/

This link mentions some other methods to check if it's running. However, it's for fresh rom. Maybe others can chime in to say if the information is the same for damage control roms. As far as I know, the main trick is just partitioning the sdcard using the recovery tool as durandetto mentioned. If the rom sees an ext partition, a2sd will automatically start working. I too am using dc2.0.7.2.

For me, quick system info shows a2sd working, but my internal storage is much less than I thought it would be. I understand that app data is still stored on the internal storage, but can anyone tell me if my numbers are normal or not?

A2SD Storage: 0.89GB, Free 790MB

Internal Storage: 160MB, Free 33.33MB

I probably have under 50 apps installed.
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
Your apps will automatically be installed on your sd card, at least mine were.
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
I have around the same amount of apps and I usually have almost 80mb after I clear my cache.
[Hero CDMA General] blazingfate:
Does it matter if the apps were downloaded from the market or from another source? Because I have about 35MB of internal storage left as well but my A2SD appears to be working as well. I might have 25 apps.
[Hero CDMA General] e30user:
I recently cleared my dalvik cache to fix some market apps not showing up. However, I just did it again so I can compare results to the numbers posted earlier.

Before:

A2SD Storage: 0.89GB, Free 790MB

Internal Storage: 160MB, Free 33.33MB

After wipe of dalvik cache:

A2SD Storage: 0.89GB, Free 790MB

Internal Storage: 160MB, Free 33.24MB

Is the dalvik cache the cache you're talking about?

Jonesdana - it might help if you mention what size sdcard you have if you're curious about typical partition sizes. I know that's one of the things I was curious about when figuring this stuff out. I have an 8gb card and set the ext3 partion for 1 gig(overkill, I know), swap 128, fat for the rest.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Deleted...
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
Settings>applications>manage applications Sort by size and check the Browser, market, albums and others that you use regularly and clear cache. I doubt you'll gain 50mb, but you should gain something.
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Isn't the point of this to not have to do that stuff? I don't see the benefit of a2sd from this thread.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Apps2SD

EDIT: Removed the original instructions because of errors. If you want to install A2SD version 2.5, follow these instructions on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=666420

My apologies for any issues the original instructions may have caused.

Now, for a bonus. If you installed A2SD verison 2.5, you can also move your dalvik-cache to your sd card. This will free up more space on your internal storage. This is completely optional and does not affect the operation of A2SD. Simply enter the phone's console via adb shell, then type /system/bin/a2sd cache. The dalvik-cache will be relocated to /system/sd/dalvik-cache. If you do this, make sure the phone is fully booted.

You can move your dalvik-cache manually without version 2.5.

In the adb shell, type the following commands:

mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache

chown 777 /system/sd/dalvik-cache

cp /data/dalvik-cache/* /system/sd/dalvik-cache

rm /data/dalvik-cache

ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

And that's it.
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
Using just the aps2sd 2.5 zip I always start with about 153 meg out of 159 meg and after all my apps are back using titanium backup (about 60 apps) I still have over 135 meg free. I never had this before I used this zip. I did not run the dalvik cache command either. After checking however my dalvik-cache is being moved to /system/sd/dalvik-cache. I see no diff in the phone than before I moved this to the SD either. It just frees up lots of space and lets you load many many more apps
[Hero CDMA General] izanagi:
so what exactly does one gain from doing this? just more space? i can't imagine there would be any increase in speed, and wouldn't this have a tiny negative impact on power usage? (small but theoretically still there)
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
I've never tried this either...

So, if your sdcard dies, could you just reflash the rom over itself and everything would be gravy?

-edit-

After you've installed a new card and formatted it properly, of course.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Can you flash the 2.5 over existing a2sd? or would you have to redo everything when done?
[Hero CDMA General] mjweisberg:
You can flash the 2.5 over the existing a2sd! I am not sure if you have to wipe the Davlik Cache, but I would recommend it. You will probably have a lengthy boot time as the Davlik Cache is written.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
hmmmm...one way to find out I guess!
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
Without doing this I was down to less than 20 meg free space with less apps than what I have now, so that is why I do it. I have seen nothing negative so far, but I am sure it is making my SD card work harder so it will probl die sooner. I have nandroid backups so even if it does die, I can reboot into recovery, partition the new card with ext 2 or 3, then add my backups to the card and restore it that way I would hope. I have not come across that yet, but even if I have to start from scratch that is ok as well. I LOVE seeing all that space free. I guess it is a head game more than anything for me. Oh and I usually backup my SD card on the computer once a week just in case it does die.
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
If you mean the aps2sd 2.5 zip over a ROM that is running aps2sd, yes you can. I flash it just after I flash the ROM then boot up after that.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
You already had apps set up with a2sd?
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Flashed a2sd 2.5 right over Fresh 2.0d that was running a2sd already, no wipe on anything. went from 79/159 available to 136/159 available. Didn't break anything in the process either. NICE!!
[Hero CDMA General] jakejm79:
Thanks Tkirton for the great guide, now at 140 Free of 160 for Internal Storage and 129 Free of 130 System Cache. For what it is worth, I flashed the 2.5 a2sd zip right over Fresh2.0d (I was already using a2sd, but on for the app/app-private folders) it automatically moved my dalvik-cache folder on the 1st boot after flash.
[Hero CDMA General] skhonda:
Thanks tkirton

First I would like to say thanks to tkirton for his guide. thanks to him i finally managed to do A2SD. I recommend everyone upgrade to A2SD v2.5. Before I upgraded i only had about 20 mb of free internal memory and now I have 120 mb.
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
That's great an all, but do you see a performance improvement or does it just make you feel better knowing your free memory is that high?

I have 40mb free on my Hero right now and never have lag or whatever, when I am running through a number of apps. What tangible benefit do I get besides being able to install "limitless" apps? Which I don't want to do anyways...

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] jakejm79:
I haven't seen a performance increase or decrease, I guess it does make me feel better having a higher amount of internal memory, tho in theory whether I have 10MBs or 110MBs it shouldn't make a difference since it is storage and not system memory, Tho I can think that I would be able to install more apps this way, but whether I would ever download enough for the dalvik-cache to fill the internal storage I dont know (I was already using a2sd for the app/app-private folders).
[Hero CDMA General] skhonda:
Dude, No one is forcing you to do A2SD. If you don't wanna do it, don't do it. YES, it does make me feel better knowing that I have a lot more free memory. And NO, it doesn't improve the performance. I was down to 20 Mb and constantly deleting apps to make sure I have enough space, now I dont have to worry.

Again, if you are happy with what you have, don't do A2SD. Just stop complaining.
[Hero CDMA General] Danokan:
I had my sd card partitioned using Fresh 2.0d.

According to the adb shell commands I was running a2sd but running about 40 megs of internal memory.

Every time I installed a new app.. the memory would continue to creep down.

Just flashed the 2.5a2sd and now 112 megs.

I don't know.. phone seems a little more snappy to me..

Regardless.. I like! :D
[Hero CDMA General] timezone12:
i'm guessing you will have to reinstall app2sd2.5 each time you upgrade to a newer rom right thanks for this

ok i just did this over my damage 2.07.2 i installed yesterday before with the app2sd originally on the rom i had 91.45 left on the phone after doing app2sd.2.5 i now have 146mb free WOW i guess it works now LOL thanks again
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Thanks for the info about performance. Right, pretty much allows more apps at once installed. I guess until I start getting a lot more apps that I like, I won't be doing the switch to A2SD.

Not complaining, just wondering if the only benefit is "limitless" apps without "worrying" about running out of space.

Just trying to weigh the pros and cons. Everyone was saying wow I have this much free now compared to before, and I wanted to know if that was the only point.

NO where in any of my posts am I compaining, so why flame? I don't plan on running A2SD because like I said, not a lot of apps that I need daily require that much space.

Just relax and enjoy your Hero. :cool:

By Far the best Guide to A2sd

I did everything and worked perfect.

On the first boot my apps would force close the whole time but then i went to recovery =>other =>uifix, and all went back to normal.

now i have 138mb of free space on my phone.

I have been looking for a through and detailed apps2sd guide but is a bit here and a bit there.

God bless you (Not religious but just happy)

Thank you for guide

This is by no means conclusive, but the difference is negligible for read (pulling) from the SD vs. Internal, there is a little bit more of a difference in writing (pushing) but still not huge. This was with a class 2 4GB Kingston mSD card. This test is my no means conclusive, but it appears that the interface is the bottle neck and not the internal or SD memory.
[Hero CDMA General] izanagi:
hah! thanks for the response, I wish your SD card a long life and good job on all the back ups!
[Hero CDMA General] e30user:
Is it safe to assume that most people are getting a big chunk of space freed up with this new a2sd due to the dalvik cache being moved? Or, is there anyone that got freed up space after updating while keeping dalvik on the phone's internal memory? My low numbers bother me on a mental level, but I think I'd prefer to wait till the phone starts behaving poorly before moving dalvik to the sdcard.
[Hero CDMA General] jakejm79:
The largest gain in space seems to be obtained by moving the dalvik-cache, but it all depends how many apps you have installed.
[Hero CDMA General] TheBiles:
The point of A2SD is to have your app APKs installed on your SD card saving massive amounts of space. Right now I would have zero free space, but with A2SD I have 60-70MB of free space.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
It might just be placebo, but my phone does fell quicker aswell. I would imagine that moving the dalvik cache to the card would possibly free up some system resources, could be wrong on that though. Either way it is nice seeing all that free space. And the improvment(57mb) that a2sd 2.5 provided over what is included in fresh 2.0d is amazing.
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
I just flashed the a2sd 2.5 and have 130mb free with like 75+ apps. Thats awesome. But I didnt move the dalvik-cache...anyone care to explain why there is such a huge increase? I went from 60mb to 130mb free just by flashing that zip file.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
i think it automatically moves dalvik aswell, at least it did for me, I know it says to run a command to do it, but......
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Just flash it over. If you were already using another version of A2SD, it won't modify anything from the other version other than the program.
[Hero CDMA General] jakejm79:
Yes you can flash it over, but in my experience (and several others) it seems that when you upgrade it may also automatically transfer dalvik-cache to sd, which other versions don't do by default.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Yes, unless the Rom provider includes it. But, the cool thing is, once you flash your new rom, flash the A2SD before you reboot and it will be there upon first use of your new Rom.

Rom developers are more than welcome to include the A2SD. They can even modify it. The only requirement I have is that, if they make modifications to the program core (that's the functionality of it) that they let me know their changes so I can include them on an official build.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Huh, I thought I fixed that. But if it's working for you, I'll leave it alone.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
what would the downfall be to putting dalvik-cache on the card?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
There's a possibility of slower performance, but everyone I've talked to says they can't tell a difference in speed.

It could also shorten the life of your SD card, but A2SD in general can do that.
[Hero CDMA General] nokios:
trouble running a2sd cache

maybe I didn't search hard enough but I haven't come up with anything.

I am trying to set this up and when I run /system/bin/a2sd cache, I get the following output... I am using Amon Ra 1.6.2 Boot loader

(also, why do I have to type mount -a in adb shell to get all the mounts restored?)

any idea?

I have partitioned the dries using Partition sdcard, and all the options (Partition SD, Repair SD:ext(successful), SD:ext2 to ext3, SD:ext3 to ext4) and I continue to get the above msg..

it is a 2gb card and I am running DamageControl 2.07 rom.
[Hero CDMA General] nokios:
I found out that flashing the app 2.5 already moved the dalvik. A2SD works!
