[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin021296:
Well its not completely impossible, you can make a nanroid on each rom you have and restore it to get the rom back, along with all of your apps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
Whats the process.. could you tell me step by step
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skreacher:
U have desire rom installed... boot into recovery. Nandroid backup, remember the date/timestamp.. wipe. install CM mod use it for however long you want. when you want to switch back to desire, boot into recovery. Backup CM mod.. Wipe, Restore Desire backup. the switching process will be several minutes every time. I also recommend doing a little nandroid cleanup every so often and delete old backups in the nandroid folder on your SD card. I tried this for about a day before just sticking with stock look and CM mod.. not a fan of sense ui and Flash Lite is pretty Terribad anyways.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
Thanks Sir. I have another problem now.. I didn't want to make a new thread.

I backed up all my contacts before doing anything by going to export to SD. Saved it as a v. card file

But when I import after the MOD, i only see contacts with emails, when I go to show only contacts with phone numbers it only shows me 5 people?

Even stranger, when I open in outlook, It shows only 1 contact!

But when i right click the file, and open in notepad and do a search i see all my contacts..

I'm confused, I dont wanna enter all my contacts by hand. Help?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsnipuhx:
Your contacts should automatically be restored..if your signed into Google account that is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisProls:
contacts > display options > your google account ... open it and make sure you got all the sub groups checked.

... I got tricked once. Maybe this is your issue ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
Wasn't my issue, I ended up retransfering my contacts from my BB. Thanks I have one more issue. Please check here

Did you notice that softkey bar is diffrent between this screen and screens above?

Also, WM6.5 applications would not work on 6.5.3, because of dirrfent shell, you can assign OK/Close key to any hardware button and use it like a magic, it works in most cases :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] jaytheguru:
Two things noticed really

1: The expiration message pops up right after a fresh install (ImanD was right about this - please see attached pic)

2: After installing 64MB version, the RAM still shows as 14MB, is it right? or am I doing something wrong here? :D

More testing on its way.

Enter Advanced and check Proxy to 'connects to the internet'

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] dante05:
Is it really a final version, because after a fresh install I got that message too. expires within 30 days. :confused:

The expire date shows when I enter the correct date exp. 2010-04-07, but if I let the date by default 2009-01-01 it doesn't show the expire message.

Hi! First of all, thanks for an awesom ROM. No issues so far, except;

ActiveSync? It's not working? I turned off the advanced networking function but that causes the device to lock up when connected.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known bug?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] aeroflyluby:
May be bug, It was really bad choice to cook this build, it has so many bugs and mistakes. 6.5.3 is not stable at all, because it is beta. Anyway, now i'm developing new 6.5 and 6.5.3. It won't be relased 'next day' because i need to test it really hard. I don't want to release another bugged system

[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Something that I'm coming to terms with, with the Android OS and HTC. It's feeling a bit like my desktop computer.

Obviously pros and cons.

But the irritating thing is that, unlike my desktop, you don't really have an option to exit most apps. Why? I love Android because it's very customisable. But why is there not the option to leave it in the background OR close it completely? I'm not an Apple fan, but I get the feeling that they will have a cleaner multitask/program control system. Eventually. Still won't buy one though!

Then you have the Palm WebOS that shows everyone how to multitask. And with, let's be frank, hardware that puts it (at best) middle of the smartphone pack.

Then you have startup. I've got Fring and Docs to Go (free version), and for some reason, they both startup with powering up. Fring even has an option to startup or not to startup. Maybe that's a bug. But Docs to Go? I can't even see the option. Hopefully these two are the exceptions.

But just the simple thing (I think) first. Why the hell is there not an option on every program to exit it - therefore killing it dead?! Why why why? I'm no programmer but is this really such an issue??? :mad:

Fortunately there's many programmers on this great site so maybe someone can educate me.....
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Because the android system doesn't need to kill applications, it just takes resources from them when they are needed. You can manually kill tasks but then the resources will just be reassigned in a matter of minutes.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Which is definitely impressive.

But as some programmers I've spoken to said, it doesn't seem to work as precisely as you may want. Windows Mobile had a similar issue. It was meant to work, but didn't.

In fact, now that you mention it, I think I may do a Palm PreCentral.com task, and see how many apps I can open before I see slowdown. If I see slowdown.

This will be interesting....
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Go and read at Google how to setup an android application an how the application processes work. You don't have to be a programmer, but it answers all you questions and doubts.

There was even an article somewhere that using a taskmanager and killing tasks decreases battery life. Not what you would expect, but understandable when you see how the structure works.
[Desire General] jm997:
I assume that Docs to Go preloads some stuff it needs so that it won't have to load that when opening the first document. You have to see: A background task isn't something bad, as long as it's not doing anything it won't use battery either.

Same with "free" memory: if memory is "free", it's not being used. Docs to Go puts itself in the memory so it's already there when needed. You'll never have trouble with not having enough free memory to run an app, because Android takes care of that (frees memory when needed, leaves stuff in memory when there is plenyty of room to do so).
[Desire General] oawalker:
Use advanced task killer and it should kill any app, with all apps you should be able to turn it off so it doesn't automatically start when you turn on the phone, try opening the app and press menu or look into the options to turn it off
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
@ RaptorRVL - I would be very interested in reading that article. And I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, I mean I would honestly be interested in reading it as if it's true, I need to adjust my thinking on how Android workds. I'm looking, but if you find any links, please share.

@oawalker - I know there's many arguements about task killers whether they are needed or not. I have one. But I'm not going to say it's absolutely necessary as I think I need to read more hard facts. But it sort of brings me back here.

As jm997 has said, Android OS rejiggs resources as required, so you are never left wanting. However on earlier devices, this was obviously not working to such a degree as many complained of slowdown. Hence we come to today with the arguements of do I / don't I get/need a task manager.

I have to admit, it was the first app that I got so I could see what is running natively so I know what not to trouble. But I'm a control freak, I have to know.

What I just did was to load up every app I had, 50 in total, along with the apps and widgets already running, maybe another 5-10, to see if I can see slowdown. And I watched the memory on my memory widget drop to 10%. And I gotta say, my Desire is still running as smooth as it ever was with maybe a slightest fraction of slowdown. If that.

However, 1. I have no idea what affect this has on my battery life. 2. I would still like to be able to totally close something by simply tapping exit, or purposely leave it running.

Don't get me wrong, the multitasking, as I've just mentioned, is very impressive and obviously much better than earlier versions. And Android is still a new OS that's maturing nicely. But I still gotta wonder if this is a clean way to operate or if we are heading for a bit of a Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.x mess.

Now to find those pages RaptorRVL spoke of......
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Random trivia: I just put "android", "google" and "multitasking" into Google, and the top 3 hits are all about speculation about will a platform that doesn't really multitask, really multitask.

"Rumored iPhone OS multitasking would use Exposé-like feature"

"Apple iPhone vs. Google Android – Mobile Software War Between ..."

"Are the people at Google watching the iPad release? - Android Help"

Go figure. Come to your own conclusions....
[Desire General] Zappza:
If I remember correctly, in the earlier versions of Android (1.x), there was an option for developers to force programs to stay in memory. This was meant to be for programs that needed it, but unfortunally it was abused, so Google removed it as of 2.x.

The Desire runs 2.1, so it shouldn't be a problem for us anymore.

This article was written in Norwegian, but I'll post a Google translate link, as it was very good :)

edit:

Here is the link to the translated article:

http://translate.google.com/transla...du-avslutte-programmer-i-android/&sl=no&tl=en

Some words was translated badly, but most of it was fine.
[Desire General] irkan:
here you go

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

this should enlighten you about Android memory management as it did for me :)

good luck
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
That was the article I was referring to.

And for more information read this: http://developer.android.com/guide/
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Thanks Zappza and irkan. Great info and very informative.

I think the bits that stuck out for me are:

"The point is to not see Android as a PC, where applications run until you stop them. It works just not the same."

"...linux will run the same regardless of if you have 20mb free memory or 200mb."

"It has been possible for software developers to implement a feature... and could therefore not be concluded automatically. Android phone will not quit the program even if there is a need for memory or CPU resources the program uses. ...As a result, so the function removed in Android 2.0."

Ok, for the next week at least, no killing tasks at all. Let's see how that goes.

I like this site. There's always people willing to school you with facts rather than abuse you with hot air. :)

advanced Task Killer

How can I stop this??? Surely this is taking up my battery??
[Desire General] irkan:
if its not active or updating it is not eating the battery power, it will only take small very small memory to reside in, and even with that, when any process is inactive for along time and if Android needs memory, it will not hesitate to take it (the memory) away from that inactive process.
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
Hello, thank you for that. After reading the article you posted I was not sure if it was for all apps.

I have deleted my ATK and lets see how it goes .... because my battery life was pretty poor before!

Also when you check your battery life is there any way to get the % rather than that big bar thing split into 10 bars?
[Desire General] irkan:
there is a Battery widget i believe, you can download it, and it will show you a percentage of the battery, not sure of the exact name though, check in the download widgets
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Now that I've read more, and thinking back to all the arguements I read about Android and task killers, and it occured to me that every post that spoke about slowdown, it was based on knowledge from Android 1.x. I'm still trying to get some slowdown (due to memory) on my unit and haven't managed it yet.

So I'm curious now, has anyone experienced slowdown on an Android 2.x device? I'm guessing much much less, if any.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Only when the FM radio freaked out and started locking my phone up, other then that no slow downs.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
I'm a long time Windows "expert" and as such have become a bit paranoid about closing rather than minimising apps. When I got my first Android phone I, like a lot of other windows people, immediately installed a task killer. I soon found it a mistake though. Battery life was definitely worse and applications took longer to load. It's very difficult for people with a Windows background to accept that Android works in a different way and that, providing the application is written property, suspended apps. are not using any appreciable resources.

If windows has been written better in the first place we would never have preceived it as a problem. I am still tempted to install a task killer but I keep telling myself "this is not Windows".

hi,

im lookin for a screen protector which is installed by two ways ive such one for my xperia you clean the screen, put one side of the protector down and brings it on the screen then you pulls up the other site of the protector...

anyone knows one on ebay?
[Nexus One Accessories] JAW$:
Hi,

Best one to buy is a Boxwave Branded one. I would not recommend buying any random one off ebay as you do not know the quality you are getting.

I previously bought one from Clarivue which decrease the clarity of my screen i.e. my screen became fuzzy & foggy.

I have just ordered a Boxwave Anti-Glare. There have been a few people in this forum which have recommended it after use & yes it is a peal & stick protector.

Most of those deal with the entire nexus one, the OP (and I) want just the lcd screen protector.

It's in there man, just gotta search. Any of those full body skins are also available in screen protector only. Personally, I prefer the dry installed protectors. Hands down the best screen protector value is on eBay sold by dcmugen88. He sells a 2 pack for our phone for less than $2.50 shipped. I bought three 2 packs. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] TAMHAN:
Hi Folks,

I wanted to share a concern of mine here.

Now that Microsoft governs EVERY aspect of hardware, how should manufacturers differentiate their offerings?

Will it just be by price and color of the case?
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
Price, design and storage capacity.

Unfortunately, they didn't tell them how to design their phones. Look at that LG crap, it's soooo ugly... that's not how they will be able to compete with the iPhone, which is what are apparently trying. :D

(granted, the iPhone's design is getting stale, but at least it's not ugly)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Screen size, type and quality, quality of camera, storage size, battery... But yes, there won't be much left for differentiation, although I personally find it great.
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
Keyboard or not keyboard. :D

Though it seems the OS doesn't work in landscape mode. Sucks, I hope they figure this out (though I doubt it).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You doubt that WP7 will have landscape mode?
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
It doesn't have it now.

And yes, I doubt that it will have it.

(I mean FULL landscape mode, not only messages and browser)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It doesn't work in the emulator but I've seen it in videos. It doesn't move the application bar but rotates the buttons. I'd say it makes sense on widescreen displays...They would have to do something with the homescreen though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
I've seen it in my own apps. But I want it to work in the whole system, INCLUDING the homescreen and every other place.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TAMHAN:
Hi,

this is an interesting direction this discussion is going.

I would think that they will have to support it somehow - lest manufacturers like LG will be unhappy.

On the other hand: the Pre has the exactly same issue. On it, many apps are portrait only and it has no issues with that.

How often do we really see someone (non poweruser) use the QWERTY? Be honest!
[Windows Phone 7 General] C:Sharp!:
That's why I doubt WP7 will support it.

Microsoft is copying Apple's approach, which means they're not adding anything, unless lots of people want it.

I've written some apps for WP7 and landscape worked. But unless it works in the whole system, this OS is of no use to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
I think they should differentiate by telling MS to screw their "specs" to some degree and put a d-pad/trackball/optical mouse on the front of the device where they belong. I like minimum hardware specs, but number of button specs and screen hardware is nonsense imo. Basically I want a device with multitouch resistive screen tech, and some sort of up-down-left-right control on the front of the device. Honestly, what would MS do if Samsung put an optical mouse and camera on the front of their device? Would they sue? I highly doubt it.

Let to OEM take care of their controls, and MS should just focus on making the software experience nice. I just upgraded to the Omnia II, and I'm missing a physical dpad in a HUGE way. I don't miss the kb all the much with swype, but this dpad thing was killing me. I remapped my volume rocker to up and down so it's not as bad...but if I couldn't do the same on a wp7 device <cringe>.

But to answer your question more directly...right now they'll have to focus on things like ergonomics and style. But I hope that the late success of the HD2 under t-mobile shows MS that people actually like the openness of WM they just didn't like the default device experience and that makes an impact on what wp7 will actually turn out to be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
Metro UI is perfect for d-pad use, and I think it's ridiculous that they don't seem to be supporting it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Thanks but no thanks. First you allow d-pad and next you see programs (games mostly, but not only) that don't function well without it. You allow OEMs to add non-standard controls and they start making drivers themselve, mucking up OS-wide conventions and standards (like HTC is doing with hardware keys left and right).

A d-pad might be a nice feature but if it's there it should be on all devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
You and your fragmentation :P...optional keyboards already exist...you don't think that will come into play on games and applications? You can't keep a uniform xbox experience for a phone like you can for a console...people like different control. Heck even consoles are fragmented control wise, controllers, joysticks, steering wheels, guns, etc.

Let the people choose their controls they want for the task at hand.

We've had this discussion before, you fix this issue by having good sdks that allow you to easily create an application where you can set your controls based on your device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
I defintely need hardware buttons so I won't buy one unless it has a hardware keyboard. But we've seen tons of Windows Mobile devices and they all look different. Other then buttons and UI I'm sure that will follow to WP7. 3" to 5" screens, 8GB,16GB,32GB,64GB space. Color, material, qwerty. These will all be differentiaters.
