Yeah, perhaps I'm spoilt from having apps2sd on my Dream - I've got used to installing whatever the hell I like, and leaving it there!

Let's hope Paul from MoDaCo finishes rooting/getting write access to the system partition soon. Or indeed, any other dev who can manage it :-)
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
How do you guys get so many apps? I have installed around 20 apps and it's telling me I'm running low on space.......quite annoying. Having to remove apps to instal others.
[Desire General] sdemmery:
LOL that was pretty much what I wrote originally & thought I was talking nonsense so I edited the post, should have left it I guess :)

For me its not the number of apps its that some are large. Anyone have copilot installed, im thinking of getting it but im worried the maps are going to fill the memory up & leave me room for no other apps! The Desire is a cutting edge device & we just shouldn't have to contend with this issue, Heck I never had this with Windows Mobile. Then again I never had any apps for Windows Mobile :rolleyes:
[Desire General] abats:
It's not only the issue with the number apps you can install. This issue is also limiting developers. There are a couple of reasons iPhone applications/games are usualy higher quality then the android counterparts. Storage problems is one of those issues sadly.
[Desire General] choccy31:
The incrediable (from what I read other day) will still only have a limited space for APPS so the 8GB internal storage will not mean anything or be an improvement at all.
[Desire General] eaglesteve:
Wow this is a problem. I'm now using iPhone and my applications alone occupy 3.3 gb of storage.
[Desire General] pascanu:
Well, it's not that simple. While storage on the Desire is indeed a problem you don't really need 3.3 gb. For example I have copilot installed with maps for whole Europe and these are 1.5 gb but they stay on the card. Same goes with a lot of dictionaries and so on. If the developer is clever enough to put most of the data on sdcard you can get huge apps even on Android with limited storage.

That doesn't mean HTC and Google shouldn't solve this problem and either put more memory in these phones or even better find away to legalize apps2sd.
[Desire General] cworrall:
I just switched from iphone to desire, and feel soooo ripped off that I got a phone advertising a free 4gb memory card and 576mb rom/ram whatever and can only use 128mb for apps, having spent many hours reading around the internet in disbelief - from what I have read about the g1 I can't see them rectifiying the situation, there trying to stop piracy but surely theres more money to be made from the market if people have somewhere to store apps? I mean why buy apps if you're gonna run out of space and eventually have to delete them when something better comes along anyway, and why restrict developers to paltry mb's I want games that are nice to look at and have depth, other than that would you believe, i do prefer the desire to my old iphone

well..... mostly, got rid of it because of no multitasking unless jailbroken- and sick of jailbreaking and messing around with it to keep it stable

yet here comes os4

but if I could just save to sd without hacking my phone i promise I'll forget my dam iphone

So i have the htc news widget set to the bbc news feed and the auto refresh set to every 30 minutes (also tried manual-only as well but more on that later)

anyway, if left alone and set to every 30 minutes, it doesn't actually ever update. you have to go into the actual program, into the feed, then menu -> refresh, and all of a sudden bam, updated.

if you press the bottom border of the widget (which FYI, refreshes for you. applies to twitter and friendstream too). it does nothing at all either.

if i set it to manual, it also doesn't actually refresh from pressing the bottom (it says refreshing, but nothing new comes up). you still have to go into the actual feed and refresh in there.

anybody elses doing this?

its a bit annoying. the news app is so sexy looking, but if its not going to update automatically, or with a single button, its not worth it
[Desire General] paulruk:
Can just press the bar at the bottom of the widget to manually update. But true it doesnt seem to do it automatically.
[Desire General] cheesebanana:
like i said, pressing the bar doesn't actually do anything.

it will say "updating", then the time will change to whatever the current time is, as if its updated

but it wont actually get any new stories...even if they are definitely there to get
[Desire General] xfile087:
Exact same issue here.
[Desire General] cheesebanana:
oh wow

the problem is that they dont seem to be arranged in order of newest to oldest

they seem like, totally arbitrarily arranged, comparing it to the actual rss feed.

the latest 50 (or whatever) items are on there, they're just in any old order

useful ¬_¬
[Desire General] Guitarfreak26:
Yeah i noticed that.. keep getting old articles pop up!
[Desire General] cheesebanana:
okay actually

looks like they're in reverse order and jumbled a bit

newer ones generally go to the bottom (wtf?) and older ones generally go to the top

[Desire General] GrenW:
Having a lot of problems with the widgets not updating on mine : news, weather and even mail (hotmail account not the gmail one). WiFi may have been behind the mail problem which I had this morning - need to check more

I ended up getting rid of the standard htc news one and using a BBC widget (it was the only stream I used on it anyway). You only get one story as its not a full page one but at a touch you get the full set of headlines and then at another touch an instant link to the web page. Thinks its just called BBC News
[Desire General] checkbox111:
I know these posts are old but i'm bored!

If you have a 'task manager' installed make sure it's not stopping these updating functions by default.
[Desire General] al89nut:
The only way to get the News widget to sync (2.2) is to do a factory reset. It's true, I've done it.
[Desire General] kmetek:
what is good news widget choice for us with LAUNCHER PRO launcher/home?
[Desire General] XtremeNL:
Anyone found a way to fix it yet?

Mine (on a Desire z, granted) does no updating at all, if i try to manualy update, it shows updating.. for a few seconds, then nothing, just show the old date that I managed to get updates on.
[Desire General] Max BrainBox:
Same with the Weather widget

Since a week, I can't get any weather updates anymore (neither automatic nor manual), I just get 'Weather Data unavailable' after a few seconds.
[Desire General] syslogic:
Had the same problem ... shutting down and taking out the battery helps.

Maybe try setting it to 30mins auto-update in case manual update shouldn't work.

Linky

A link to a thread where they are trying to recreate the HTC HD2 UI on the iphone...but I thought that iphone won all those best ui wars...

HTC simply had the weight of Windows Mobile draging them to the ground, however they have proved their ability by managing to create what I think is the best operating system and best UI i have used on a phone. I have an HD2 running Artemis rom and cookie home tab mod (along with many other mods including font change) and thats whats so great about it. Its brilliant and easily customizable.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] JustSomeGeek:
Hi folks,

Before trawling the threads, i thought i wanted a set of traditional, padded headphones, but after looking at some of the options, i'm more confused than ever.

The size of the Motorokr S-9 really appeals to me, but i'm wary of having these alien probes in my lugholes. They look really intrusive, itchy, and sweat-inducing.

So, can anybody vouch for a comfortable BT stereo solution with remote that will work well with the Athena 100?

Problems with certain ROM versions etc?

How do these things charge?

Any that vibrate?

Bargains (UK)?

I don't usually listen to stuff for long periods and never used a headset before, but i'd like something that is up to the job when i do need to.

Thanks guys, and apologies for going over stuff that has probably been covered before. :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] techntrek:
I have a Rocketfish RF-MAB2. They have over-the ear clips and cover most of your ear. No vibrate or display, but very high quality audio. I listen to music for hours at a time at work. I find they are more comfortable flipped over so I've flipped the channels in TCPMP, but they also slide off easily so I can only do this sitting down.

I use AP4 with radio ROM 1.58.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] JustSomeGeek:
I've since found a Samsung WEP870 while trolling round the mobile phone shops at the shopping mall. I'm not really an audiophile but these things are a brilliant invention.

It's a mono earpiece but has a combined stereo earbud set and nifty lanyard with anti-tangle grommets that clips into the earpiece which is then worn round the neck.

I always thought the in-ear things were horrible, but these are really comfy and block out a lot of noise even when they produce no sound. Pretty cheap for what they offer i reckon.

I just wish i could work out how to get them to work with my Win7 laptop too :-/

Thanks for the reply though!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] Mark Sly:
I had been using Motorola HT820's -- had great sound. They finally broke beyond repair after 2-3 years.

Now I bought a Nokia BH-905. I wanted BT headphones with active noise cancellation and the ability to take calls with noise cancellation on the microphone. (Have to work in a very noisy environment and I need to wear earplugs.)

These aren't around-the-ear types like I wanted (can't find any BT headphones w/ ANC that do that.), but they are VERY comfortable, and the ANC works very well. With the earplugs, I can barely hear anything when working around air-handling equipment (constant hissing.)

Very expensive - over $200 - but worth it for me. Greay buy; I just hope they hold up.

-MarkSly
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] AllGamer:
another vote for Motorola HT820 (mine also died :( can't find another one for sale), it is simply the VERY BEST! of them all in funtionality, ease of use, and sound purity, and comfy level.

other ones i've and still using but don't like are:

Jabra BT8010 (good but always breaks the earloop)

Sony HBH-DS980 (too much wire, it defeats the purpose of bluetooth)

Sony DRBT21G (pales in comparison to Moto HT820, but it's passable, not comfy though)

BlueTake BT420Rx (Gen1 bluetooth, no A2DP, limited features, very comfy, good sound, but it looks like princess leia specially if you have the white version)

Plantronics Voyager 855 (pure garbage, no A2DP)

Motorola S9 (dies easily with sweat dripped into the device, bad design, it's a total failure compare to its big brother HT820)

my top 2 choices for sound are:

HT820

BT420Rx

my top choice for formar work/fun mix

BT8010

unfortunately the BT8010 is very prone at breaking the earloop even with careful use, i went through 3 sets of it already.

luckily enough when you but these they come in pairs with the stereo side, so i always use the stereo side of the earloop to replace the main headset, as i seldomly use the stereo side of the headset, i mostly just use the single side of it.

for real stereo i'll much prefer to use the HT820

[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Eshghman, not sure if you're bored or something, but flooding the forums might not be the best tactic.

1 - I doubt you'll use this internationally upon release. It's a phone built for Sprint, not a worldphone.

2 - The release date is June 13th for Sprint stores, June 6th for Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc. Pre-orders will start in mid-May.

3 - There is a possibility (all-be-it EXTREMELY low) that it will ship with FroYo. I am not saying it will, and I don't even believe it will, but there is talk that it could, and if not, will receive FroYo quickly.

4 - There is also talk that the ROM/RAM may change a little. Again, since you want rumors, this is one. Not sure how accurate this is, but some are saying that the ROM/RAM may be altered a tad before initial release.

5 - The media blitz will start in mid-May around the same time as pre-orders.

Any other questions?

[EVO 4G General] Tharamis:
Sorry but the EVO is going to be CDMA phone. The only company's using that technology (US) are Sprint and Verizon.

Don't know what the Frequency is going to be so don't know if it will work on Verizon or not but I am sure you won't be able to get the Sprint 4G if used on anyone other then Sprint.

[EVO 4G General] nlasassin:

[EVO 4G General] keatre:
I agree with you completely on the June release. However, I've been told by a "friend" (that I do trust) that it was initially scheduled for a late May release, however, that's been scrapped due to 4G hiccups with 2.1 -

You didn't happen to check out the ROM version did you? Android 2.1 or 2.1.xx or anything? (aka - Maybe coming with FroYo? [longshot, I know..])
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Hmm, I figured not, but was worth a shot. I know its some edited 2.1, but whatever, was just wondering for future cooking - I think this is gonna be a ***** to root, and even worse to get 4G working.

1.5 Snapdragon would be cool, but with WinMo 7 -- No thanks.

To be honest, the MAIN reason I had for rooting the hero was speed and space. You do NOT need the EVO to go any faster, it's damn near perfect. I would, however, like to customize the UI to my liking. I can deal with it not being rooted until then.

Yeah, how DARE Sprint release a Wimax phone for their Wimax network. What were they thinking?!? Such a bad move on Sprint's part, SO unwise.

[EVO 4G General] entropism:
Just because I said root wasn't needed to speed up the phone doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to have. first thing I'd do is rip out the Sprint default apps, but that's just me.

That being said, do you REALLY think it won't be rooted within the month? We're going to have a lot of smart people buying this phone, dead set on rooting it.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
the htc increadable/desire just got officially released today, root is coming tomorrow via modaco on twitter

I'm pretty sure it will happen pretty quickly for the evo, but the unknown is always uncomfortable
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Well, the rooting isn't exactly what bothers me as much as the rooting AND making 4G still able to work. It'll be the first time we mess with 4G on a root, and I was worried about the problems that may come up with it.

I'm no expert, by any means, but just saying...
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
i agree, there's alot of firsts with the evo, I don't think we'll see backwards compatibility or even forward compatibility with roms from other phones for some time, at least not fully functional. Cameras not working, 4g not working etc etc.

Rooting shouldn't effect any of that, all it does is give you superuser permissions, you are just modifying a couple files, and with root you can still modify the stock image to your hearts content, waiting on them to release the kernel source so you can port roms, and having the kernel being a standard version that is used in current/future roms from other phones and AOSP is the problem.

I don't live in a 4g area, and no plans on it for a while so I'm not terribly worried about it working or not. I hear there's some crafty stuff coming in froyo that I would like to take advantage of however if it doesn't come with it out the box or shortly there after.
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Agreed, I guess I should have been a bit more precise in what I was speaking about. I meant Root+Custom Rom, so, my fault.

I live in 4G area, so that's a big concern with me.
