[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
This post has nothing to do with apps or games.

So I'm moving it to General.

FYI,

I would dare to say that for most members that the majority of the posts SHOULD be in the myTouch 3G, Magic General sub-forum. There are some exceptions.

If you developed or ported or modified a rom. This would go in myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development.

If you are discussing an app from Market or any other third party source(not warez!). This would go in myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games.

If it is not a complete rom... but a modification of the rom to give it a different look of some kind. This relates to boot screens, animated startup screens, wallpapers, etc. It would go into myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers.

If it is regarding a headset, replacement battery, faceplates, dock, cradle, charger, screenprotectors, stylus etc. This would go in myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories.

I realize that most of you already know this and follow it... however this is obviously a case where it needs be explained and you would not believe how many threads I move on a daily basis because so many do not seem to understand or grasp this concept.

Ringtones most certainly do not fall under applications so I took the liberty of moving this for the OP. Thanks to all that helped the member and I hope that this message from me will help with any confusion that may be out there about where to post new threads.

Also take this into consideration; I would dare to say that just about every question has been asked before. And most questions that were asked were resolved by an answer. Which means that it is SOMEWHERE here in the forums already. So you have two options:

The slow and lazy way, which is to post a new thread and if it has been asked several times before you may only going get harrassed. If you don't get harrassed you still have to wait for an answer. That could be minutes to never.

-or-

The quick and easy way, which is to use the forums search feature. Obviously this is what we recommend.

It's but ultimately it's up to you. We'll be here on a daily basis to answer your questions/concerns and to help you the best that we can.

Thanks again for your attention.

Hi, all

I like to send long SMS to my girl (love poems :)

As far as my message exceed length of three SMS it autoconverted to MMS, but I don't need this. So I have to cut/paste poems manually, tis takes long time. Could you help to stop autoconverting?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:
Send them one sms at a time so they don't convert? :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmsosv:
Handcent SMS on the market has an option to automatically split texts for you. It's way better than the stock messaging app, and it's free.

Not sure but i think the Audio_resources.zip is what you might be looking for.

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/downloads/rom

You can't flash it like an update but you can use adb to push it to your /system/media/audio directory.

Alternatively you can copy the files to the rom yourself and sign the zip file. Then all you need to do is make a backup and flash away.

Hey all, I think I've hosed up my pictures app on my AT&T HTC Pure.

I installed the program listed one of the Themes and Apps threads, HTC Album 3.2, thinking it would speed up my album but instead it disabled it entirely. When I went to uninstall it the thing said it could not uninstall all of the components. Now I can't go into the album, getting this error:

"Unable to invoke Pictures %c Videos application. Please make sure Pictures %c Videos application has been installed on your device."

Is there any way to get this back without doing a hard reset?

If you can't find the correct version for your manila build, HR is only other option.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] reptiletim:
I'm kind of new to this (which is why I shouldn't have messed with it to begin with). Where would I find the version of "manila" I'm using, and then where would I start looking for the photo album app for it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
You basically have either Sense (manila) 2.1 or 2.5.

Sense 2.5 has shortcuts on the home tab for programs where 2.1 has the program tab.

So you just need to search for HTC Album for that version.
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
Anyone else having issues with the flash?

For instance it would happly flash on when you hit the thumb button to take the photo... But there doesnt seem to be a way to make the LED just turn on... So more oftern than not you end up with over exposed photos as there is no guide light from the LED.

Also Ive tryed using a flashlight app and that doesnt seem to turn on the LED at all...

Anyone else having simuler problems with the flash?
[Desire General] alex101uk:
Im pretty sure the flash is only meant to... flash. I know what you meant though but im pretty sure there is no way to do this at the moment. And the flashlight apps are terrible, they just turn your screen brightness right up.
[HD2 General] noodles222:
Hi all, i searched this forum a bit and found a little info about this but still not sure.

I bought HD2 last week and hardware buttons under the screen are moving little bit from left to right when i hold finger on them and wobble with them.. Is it only me or is it designed like that? Not sure, but if they are rock solid than i think it would not be possible to press each button correctly.
[HD2 General] robyr78:
Hi. don't worry. mine has the same issue and reading around it seems to be aa characteristic of the HD2. the hardware buttons' bar IS NOT fixed but it moves a little bit.

Bye and Happy easter everybody
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Yes, it's fine. 6 months on and the wobble hasn't got any worse for me.

[EVO 4G General] Manicmobileaddict:
Ok, I know I'm jumping the gun, but I thought this would be a good idea. We'll need somewhere to list and discuss apps for the Evo. I know discussions will go far beyond this thread, but a place to compile a list and links to download or for instructions or to troubleshoot and so on and so forth will be handy.

I'm not sure what I'm doing, but it appears the size of posts is limited and from what I've seen the thing to do is to reserve some space at the beginning of the thread to make helpful information throughout the thread easily accessible at the beginning so I'm going to reserve some space if I can.

Advice is welcome. Please offer advice. If I choke (and embarass myself) and end up not getting an Evo (not likely as I think I want it more than sex) or fail to keep the thread updated I'm gessing we have other options like an administrator letting someone else edit my posts or moving info to a better thread or something.

I'm thinking this could get to be a huge thread so I think I'll reserve 3 more posts. If that's too many I guess they can be deleted. If we need more can an administrator insert them? If you have ideas on how we should structure this please speak up.

Since I'm jumping the gun I guess the place to start is with what we think it will come loaded with and what we want it to come with. Eventually we'll just list what's available for the Evo.

I've never done this and may prove to be unreliable and considered just making this a suggestion so if anyone is experienced and gung-ho about it and wants to take over right now feel free to step up.

[EVO 4G General] Manicmobileaddict:
bad idea?

Should I request deleting? I've never used Android so I seriously am looking for help finding, installing, and getting through issues. I know there are other clueless people like me also so why not make a one stop shop for the apps this phone can use.

One thing I think I may have just realized is where to get apps. I'm a winmo user and I think I've only bought one app and never understood why anyone needed Marketplace. I've downloaded apps from all over the internet and never even been to Marketplace. Are all (or most, or what) Android apps at android.com? I read there were like 30,000 android apps, but haven't seen them. I figured a market was an iphone thing.

Some of the best threads I've read were very well organized and were updated to make info easy to find. Some threads look promising, but get really long and you never know when you'll find what you're actually looking for. Maybe I just don't search well, but often what I think is a good search produces unsatifying results. This site is huge now and very difficult to search.

I really would love input from senior members and would like to know as much as possible before I get this phone. I have actually been worried about switching over to Android, but the new hardware and network seem too good(not to mention the new windows direction). I've heard good stuff about Android, but just don't understand it.

I'm worried about being stuck with just 5 or 7 screens. I know windows has to use apps to get it's multiple screens (UL, ilaunch, claunch...), but I haven't heard of anythig like that with Android. I've settled into touchflo and really like using the slider rather than flicking like I did with UL (especially multiple times to get where I want).

I'm under the impression the Android screens are customizable in that you can use shortcuts or widgets, but I'd like to have several full screen widgets (more than 6) and a launcher and a home screen with more info (even more than touchflo/sense on winmo). Is there anything like that?

Please tell me (and other untechies) about Android. Don't be a johnson. Sorry, couldn't pass that up.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
hey I'm an asshole... and proud of it... I'm not known for my kindness

POW! -> http://www.androlib.com/

you say you want 5-7 homescreens now.... wait till you use it... you might use 3-4.... MAYBE... I only use 2, but hey that's me. Also if you are that freaking skitso there's a homescreen replacement out there with up to 10 or 13 or something absolutely retarded amount of homescreens if you MUST have that many.

You can customize like there's no tomorrow, makes winmo look like a gimped iphone in that respect. You can change basically every aspect of everything if you look hard enough.

Touchflow is senceUI... senceUI is touchflow... same exact thing. If you don't like your senceUI (what will come with the evo), you can do the vanillia android home if you want, or enjoy one of the many many homescreen replacements, of which there is about a thousand different themes for icons menus screens title bars etc etc etc etc etc.

watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZSeLuJBWDU

the apps don't run on the 5-7 screens, they're separate and "unlimited" based off of available ram, if you use up resources it closes the one android feels you aren't useing anymore to free up ram for your running app. It isn't as bad as it sounds in practical use, you won't notice it closing stuff in the background, the screens are only for widgets like in the video.

Like I said, customize your heart out. You don't have to be a rocket surgeon either, download a app, maybe a buck or two and go to town. There's free options, but it's not paying some big fruit company it's going into the developer's pockets so give them a buck if you like it. I have never paid over a dollar for any app I buy... and I have like 20 I felt the need to pay for. Small change in comparison to what I pay each month to use the phone... or what I paid for the phone in the first place.

Compare to a desktop or laptop and the amount of usage for a paid app... much better ratio of fun for price.

no need for this topic in my opinion, I'd recommend it be deleted, but it's your call if you feel like updating it with what you find useful in the link I provided.

I want a dollar for my time... thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Most legit apps can be found in the Marketplace, both free and for $$. Off and on, you may see someone post up an app here that they're working on, but the eventual goal is to get it in the Marketplace for the most part. It seems that you went looking for Moby ****, and only found a white whale! :-)

A 1GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processor, the award-winning HTC SenseTM user experience, an 8.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with HD-capable video camcorder and a forward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera. The large vibrant 4.3 inch display, built-in kickstand, 3.5 mm headset jack and HDMI output make HTC EVO 4G an unparalleled platform for wireless entertainment. Download music, pictures, files, or videos in seconds – not minutes – and watch streaming video on the go on a network with download speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G speeds.1 With built-in mobile hotspot functionality, HTC EVO 4G also allows up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices, including laptop, camera, music player, video player and any other Wi-Fi-enabled device, to enjoy the benefits of 4G speeds on the go.

universal remote/dongle

Anyone know of anything like Totalremote from Griffin that can use the sound to ir converter for phones without an ir port?

I bought Totalremote with the converter off ebay to experiment with on my Mogul, but can't get it to work (it works on my ipaq). The Mogul just has no universal remote solution (unless I can get the ipod method from Engadget working, for which I'll have to get a male 3.5mm to male 3.5mm cord one of these days).

Since I have the converter I'm hoping there will end up being an Android version of Totalremote. I'm very hopefull since iphone is doing one using the headphone jack and since for some reason HTC has moved their jack to the top of the phone (makes you wonder).

40,000 apps to browse?

Ok, so I'm thinking 40,000 Android apps to browse through might be a little overwhelming.

Anyone care to discuss/recommend their favorite or essential Android apps and perhaps throw up links directly to them?
[EVO 4G General] mountaindont:
this thread made me spit my mountain dew all over my hero. i hope your happy.

1)metamorph(rooted only; easily changes certain aspects of your phone whereas a flash might change others along with it)

2)wireless tether(rooted only)

3)facebook(not sense's watered down version)

4)estrong task manager (comes with a killall widget)

5)cachemate(makes your phone zippy when used correctly)

6)handcent(oh man...)

7)linda file manager(seems to be the best one, to me)

8)some sort of battery percentage widget(i actually havent settled on one yet)

9)picsaypro(mini photoshop on your phone)

10)google voice(google it)

11)iMusic+widget(limewire on your phone)

edit:

i compiled this list by simply sliding through my app drawer, but didnt even think; the fact is, with the latest 2.1 builds theres litterally NO i.s., so i do my best to keep my app download-age as low as possible. theres actually alot of apps i download, install, use, then uninstall. a fun game you can check out it What The Doodle?! online multiplayer...draw on screen your keyword, people try to guess. I cant remember the name of the other game...Attack!! or somethig. your a cow and you tilt the phone to jump from platform to platform (like teeter, but with a cow, and the final destination is a spaceship)

i expect with the evo i.s. wont be an issue (1g?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?) so maybe ill update the list as i feel the need to remember a long lost app and redownload it.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
i think you might miss understand the Market Place...

it is an app that is on your PHONE!!!! Running it will take you to the google market place, that is where you can research the 40k apps and see reviews from other users. Most are FREE!!! if they cost anything, it will be uder $4. Most are $1-2! It downloads and installs directly to your phone! and it is just as easy to delete them. It works similar to the iphone setup. For the apps that cost $$... you can download it and use it: you have 24hrs to play and test it, if you dont like it; uninstall it, and you will not be charged!!!

7 screens are more than enough, but if you want .. there are custom Sense that you can make with new 7 screens; and you can make as many custom Sense as you like.. One for work, for play, for what ever you like!!!!

I personally think you are over thinking this whole thing. It is very easy to use and setup. Get the phone and you well be wowed! :D

here is a link to some basic info to help you get a more basic understanding. It is for the HERO phone, but it would apply to you and the EVO too.

Ok so I have the Touch Pro 2 now 1st smart phone ever. Android will be all new to me but I am so excited to get this phone. But I have an HTC now and am familiar with sense so I should be somewhat ok.. But I don't really need to go to that App Brain site and pick out apps do I? I just go to Market place on phone pick them from there and install correct? Someone said you pick apps from that site and then sync them to your phone or something?

And what is the best way to back up your phone? I don't really sync stuff now on my Pro I just save ringtones pics and music to my sd card and my contacts are copied to the sim. I have the cookies mod on my phone now and can scroll to 3 different screens with all my quicklinks. Will this be similar just with 7 home screens? And I know there's apps you can download and widgets so do you have a different screen for each or can one screen have both apps and widgets? I so can't wait to get this phone. I wish there was a Sirius App out. Will someone here make one like they did for my Touch Pro? When 6.5 came out they had there own app in the market palce so I switched to it and loved it. I really want my Sirius but I was told to try other things like Pandora or Slacker. I need to learn all about Android. My coworker got the moment today and will have it at work this weekend. At least it's Android and i hope he lets me play with it.

the Market Place is an app on the phone.. you can do all your app selection, read reviews, install, uninstall, purchase(some are free), and comment on apps... right from the app. You do not need to get anything else involved. There are some apps that require you have ROOT access. Please research on that if you want it, before you start asking questions about it.

7 home screens = yes, it is like the 3 screens on WM. you can put apps or widgets on them.. any place you want. it is hard to use them all! you can also put folders on the screen and add apps (no widgets) into the folders. You can even have unlimited versions of the 7 home screens = custom Sense for every mood you might be in!

welcome and you will be extremely happy!!! so much better than WM

Thank you so much! I know how on the Pro 2 there's different roms and all that and the Android you can do things to I read. And I'll leave it the way it is like my Pro 2 the custom way that it came. I just got my preorder confirmation today and the warehouse is in Louisville where I live so I expect it on the 4th or was told maybe a day or 2 early don't know yet. But I am familiar with HTC and Sense from the Pro 2 which is good. Everyone says I am gonna love it. I spoke to an HTC rep today who has the Pro 2 from T Mobile and she even said this phone is going to be so much better and more user friendly. I can't wait to get it.. Thanks Again, Rose

Ok, I searched around for about an hour, and must not be using the right search term or something. Anyway,

I have an HTC HD2, and i'm trying to run gotomypc with it (and pandora). I can run both, but i have to map the hardware button to my input panel in order for it to come up in either application. Thats all well and fine, except i also like the default long press key option that brings up my voice command. (And for those that don't have an HD2, there is only 1 mappable hardware key). So i have to jump back and forth on button assignments to use applications.

So point is, i installed AE Button Plus, and it appears to be able to do the trick, yet i can't find what file to point the assigned long press button too. Where is "input panel"/aka SIP located at/what directory?

Or does someone have an easier suggestion for mapping a previously unassignable hardware key to the SIP?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] jessepatty:
I looked around and all I could find on this subject was a couple threads on the sending limit of MMS so I figured it is safe to start a thread on this somewhat related issue.

I am used to my TyTN II (I've had it for years) so when I got the HD2 on the 24th I was really disappointed when I got my first MMS pictures.... They are so tiny I can't hardly see them...

Even when I open them they are extremely small.... Half the size of what would display on my TyTN II and way to small to enjoy.

Is there a registry setting anywhere that controls the display size of the MMS pictures? They currently open to no larger then 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch.

If I have the same pictures sent to my TyTN II they are almost full screen so I am assuming it's a setting.....

Thanks
[HD2 General] DN41:
i think, the different is made by the display resolution.

the kaiser has got qvga, 240x320, the hd2 wvga, 480x800.

so imagine:someone sends an mms with resolution auf 200x220 ;)

its even not a quarter of hd2, but nearly fullscreen on kaiser.
