[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dills84:
I recently received a nexus one replacement for my "dusty screen issue".

Now on my new phone that I've had for 2 days I'm having a weird Camera flash problem. Every time I take a picture the flash goes off before the camera takes the picture! So every picture is still really dark, even though the flash IS going off.

I tried doing a full "wipe" and "factory reset" using the bootloader and within the android settings menu. This did not work.

I also tried running the manual ERE27 android 2.0 Update-1 update in hopes it would correct this weird error. No such luck.

So now my question is. Has anyone every heard of this issue before?

And Is is possible to flash a fresh FULL stock rom onto my STOCK UNROOTED phone? Where would i find this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
get any stock ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654869 [preferably EPE54B]

Rename the zip to PASSIMG.zip and pop it onto the SD card. Reboot into bootloader. Select the bootloader option. The phone will scan the SDcard for update zips and ask you to install the update.

Is the camera on the Vogue good enough for it? I've download both it and Barcode Scanner and both force close when I open them...

However Grocery IQ doesn't (and has a barcode scanner), but the Vogue camera doesn't seem good enough to scan the standard 12 digit barcodes on products...

Running 320x480 NBH (3-31-2010) and Myn's Donut...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
the camcorder doesn't work in the vogue so goggles is out, barcode scanner only works on 240x320, and our camera doesn't have auto focus, nor is the resolution high enough to scan barcodes, just large QR codes.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] fldash:
Thanks, I thought Goggles was pictures as well... didn't know it was camcorder... I wish they would allow text input on Barcode Scanner apps so that we can at least use them. Grocery IQ allows both text and voice entry and it works great.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
it's not a camcorder, but it uses the camcorder API to function, which doesn't work on the vogue yet
[Touch CDMA Android Development] conanford:
Google shopper does work, however...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GeJohnO:
Just about to post that. Shopper works great on Vogue because you don't even need to scan a barcode or QR code. Just point your camera at the cover of a book/dvd/cd and it picks it up.
[XPERIA X10 General] figofigo:
hello guys what are those ?? :D:D

SNS provider & Face recognition service

they drain my battery from 20 to 50%

i didnt use the camera with Face recognition service
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I too would love a description of some of the main services that run on the stock phone:

Service Account Provider

sonyericsson.learningclient

SNS Provider

SNS Cache Provider

Currently I have Startup Auditor set to kill and keep down the following apps (which works pretty well and has yet to cause any issues):

Email - I use the Gmail client instead

Face Recognition Service

Messaging - I use Handcent instead

Moxier Mail

Sony Ericsson Sync

The only other thing I'm curious about is why Maps keeps starting up on it's own.
[XPERIA X10 General] figofigo:
from where did u get Startup Auditor ???
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I bought it on the market (for less than $2.00 IIRC).

So yeah, like the title says...

I'm curious about this "Google Search (Enhanced)" service that keeps starting itself. What is it? Do we need it?

I'm trying to give myself a zippier phone and have been tweaking things with AutoStarts and ES Task Managers Auto-Kill feature. I don't use the search bar for anything, so is it possible to disable it from trying to keep itself running?
[G1 Apps and Games] pkubes:
I have been following XDA for quite some time, love it to death. I have a question of which I am pretty sure I know then answer, so then it becomes a request. I was wondering if there is an app that I can use my G1 or any android phone for that matter as an "E-Pad" to gather electronic signatures. If this does not exist, is it possible to create one? I figure for it, the phone would probably need to be mounted through usb for the data to be sent, but that is as far as I have gotten.

if you don't like it, just try another 235XX-rom (235XX=wm6.5.5;231XX=wm6.5.3;218XX/2190X=WM6.5;other branches are experimental testbranches;235XX seems to be nearly "finished").

As the title really, I'm not struck on the desire dialer, is there anyway to replace it with the standard android dialer?
[Desire Themes and Apps] salahag:
I don't think the standard Android componenets are available on the Desire, like the Dialer or the Home, and not sure if the Dialer can be installed as an application.

But was wondering why would you want to replace the HTC dialer with the Android one? HTC Dialer is waaaaay better in my opinion!
[Desire Themes and Apps] andrewpmoore:
I think it's each to their own. After owning HTC devices (WM) for years, I eventually got sick of HTC's design and generally avoid their applications. I know lots of people like sense ui and their applications, but I'd prefer my desire to be just more like the nexus one.

I'd have got a nexus one I could have got one on contract in the uk on my network operator.
[Desire Themes and Apps] salahag:
Yes I get what you mean, I'd go for the pure android too, if it had HTC's Dialer, Keyboard and easier moving between screens (On Sense UI just a little quick swipe moves the homescreens).

What I meant about being better is not the design or interface, but the way you can easily and in a second find your contact. Where as you click, it brilliantly searches in numbers and names.

Is there any All-in-one Message Widget?

Id like a widget for my Desire which shows all

message inboxes in one. Like:

All mail accounts

MMS

SMS

Is there any good looking widget for this?

(Good looking!)

Would be nice if there were two or three to choose from.

Anyone know of any?

No, there is not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iniuboo:
install Zoomer app:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] LiquidGlow:
Zoomer is an okay workaround but it doesn't refocus the pages when zoomed in so things look pixelated when you use it. I'm hoping Opera releases a multi-touch version soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] airwater9:
You can hope, but Windows Phone 7 is coming and support for Windows Mobile is almost dead now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Despite the fact that WP7 is months away, WM6 will still be supported as long as people have WM6 phones and will buy software for them. WP7 is not the successor to WM6 - they're different platforms.

Back to the OP.

Opera 10 was not made for the HD2, whereas Opera 9.7 was. Hence the lack of multi-touch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wingman1487:
I saw this and was playing around with the Opera 10 Beta that NRG cooks into his Energy ROMs. This Opera actually allows for multi-touch. I am able to pinch-to-zoom in slightly when in far out zoom, and again a little more when in full in zoom.

Not sure which build of beta he is cooking into his ROMs as the 'About Opera' only states that its 10 beta. But yes, this Opera allows for a slight bit of pinch-to-zoom.

*Edit* After some thought, this just maybe something enabled in BsB Tweaks...

Hello everyone, i've got the interest of joining everyone and try come up with a solution in orther to sort the part of After rooting , suddently become S ON. I know problably you made a mistake, but the intention of this post is to try undone that mistake, or achive a new solution to it.

I would request everyone to post exacly what you have done to become S ON. Try remember every detail, such as after you turned on the phone, wich bottons you touched, options selected, if you used recover, fastboot HBoot .

Lets hope we may achive a solution to everyone :)

Issues underinvestigation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=665349

Recomended method if you want to flash radio or Hboot, the use fastboot its the safest way.

I have my phone rooted and it says S-ON. Not sure what it was before rooting. But what exactly is S-ON and S-OFF. What are the difference?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
The diference is that S-ON means singature verification On, in other words your phone is not rooted now. If you try install another rom, it wont install. Could you please Copy the details wich are on Fastboot?

PLease try remember the last modifications wich you've made on your phone before become S-ON after you rooted.

A well rooted phone is something similer as:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Sapphire PVT 32 B Ship S-ON G

HBOOT 1.33.0006 (SAPP 30000)

CPLD 10

RADIO 2.22.19.26I

I did not do anything since I rooted it about 3 weeks ago. At that time I was able to install a new ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
I still have root access. I can use the su command in terminal emulator. Does S-ON just prevent from installing another ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
hmm interesting. You are a 32B i need to study those (I only understand of 32A :P But since we are a community surely someone with a 32 B should know the awser but i'll also study those) . But according to theory you cant flash new rom. Could you provide the instructions you followed please? :)

Superuser app installed, i'm not sure at wich point it should work completly with Sign ON.

Please test by going to the adb and enter in su mode then type cd /data/app-private if it works than the ROM is rooted.

But the Singature verification is ON so i supposed the protection again rom flashing is on also.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
S-ON prevents you from using fastboot commands. It does not mean you're not rooted.. You can definitely flash another rom with S-ON
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Thanks Kawata. I lost my heart beat for a second there but now it is back. :)

So how do I turn S-OFF. I followed the unlockr method for rooting my phone. It did not mention anything about S-ON or OFF
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
Flash an ENG spl via recovery. And then never again touch your radio/spl using recovery. Do it from fastboot

[Desire General] solaris78:
I'm very unhappy with my new Desire. It is of course, also, the problem regarding "the change" from WM to Android, but... I cannot choose "My location" and now I just discovered that YOU CAN'T SYNC NOTES AND TASK with Outlook. This is unbelievable! If the problem with My location and weather shown in the HOME Screen it's not so serious (you can check the weather on line) the problem with the sync it's awful, and there is no program on the "market" to solve it.

I can't believe that I just bought a 500 euro phone and it is so useless. Is there any chance to replace the famous "Android" with a real OS like WM 6.5 (from HD2) for example???

Please I'm desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[Desire General] watercool:
buy a HD2 instead. (!!!11!1!!!)
[Desire General] abc27:
Why did you buy an Android phone if you want to install WM 6.5 on it?
[Desire General] snapilica2003:
Why do people still use Outlook is beyond my belief :(

Why do people still sync to a computer (that can only be in one place at a time) is again beyond my belief.

I have my Desire for 2 weeks now and I never even installed the sync app, don't even know what it looks like.

But to answer your question: NO you can't replace Android to the fake ... i mean real OS Windows Mobile.

I came from Windows Mobile and I couldn't be happier i got rid of it. Stop thinking offline, and start thinking cloud sync... it'll eventually be the default weather we like it or not.
[Desire General] abc27:
You can argue (From a technical pov) that WM6.5 is a real OS and that Android isn't. In fact even Symbian would be more of a "Real" OS than Android. The difference is that those two OSes can run native code and Android just runs everything via Java. This doesn't mean much to most users but to developers it means a lot.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
someone please shut this thread before the OP gets flamed to death......
[Desire General] leoni1980:
If native code means a deficiency of decent apps, where even the few good ones are jerky, clunky and Windows CE...ey then I'm all for Java - go Java.

I left the HD2 because Windows Mobile is unreliable (believe it or not) because it was never meant to handle such complex skins as Sense UI and therefore leaked memory like a teabag full of pulped brain; and also because there was a deficiency of decent apps (despite its supposed ability to handle 'native code'). If it's so great then why are most of the .cabs people install fixes and patches rather than ACTUAL apps? And why are there no decent alternative Facebook apps etc? Is Windows Mobile 'TOO GOOD' for this sort of software development? For an OS a fifth of the age of Windows Mobile, Android has ten times as many IM apps (for example). Why is this so?

Android allows for one to code/install apps for even CORE applications like SMS and Email: show me a decent email replacement for Windows Mobile? One that ACTUALLY REPLACES the native one....you can't? Android can.

And as capricious as it might seem the rubbish email client in Windows Mobile was one of the reasons I started to loath the OS. What is the point of the 'click to scroll right' and 'pictures blocked for security reasons' BS??? Is it REALLY necessary? And why is it so....ugly?

Anyway I thought I'd get my word in before this thread gets closed. If you can't move with the times then go and buy a TyTn 2 or something. Outlook syncing will soon be as dead as Windows Mobile so for Google to include it would be a backwards step, being as more necessary features are still to be implemented.

It's all about the cloud.

P.S. research before jumping in and buying a phone as you seem to have very specific requirements. Outlook task and notes syncing is a VERY SPECIFIC requirement which in the overall scheme of a burgeoning OS would be deemed unnecessary by Google. I wouldn't buy a Renault Megane if I needed a tractor.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I think it's just a case of people not liking change at all. So the different and sometimes better things that Android provides seem not so good.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
For work purposes most likely? Information that has to be stored securely in outlook on a system which they DO NOT want in the cloud? But would like to sync via hard wire or secure connection to the device?

Outlook syncing will be alive as long as Microsoft push it and businesses continue to use it and would rather not have information in the cloud, even Windows Phone 7 offers outlook syncing, it isn't going anywhere.
[Desire General] samsanchez88:
I havn't tried but doesn't htc sync allow to sync with Outlook?? I though that was what it said on the box....

Anyhow, i've just come from an HTC Touch HD where i have tried all the versions of windows and senses and other interfaces and i have to say i am loving my new desire!!!!

I am no developer but Android is so much better adapted to a smartphone, it's fast, fluid and allows all sorts of customization and when i had my HD, as far as i can remember, there were like 20 apps on the marketplace, i thin android market is at 30.000???? No question, no comparison!!!
[Desire General] mhewitson:
An app on the Market - Touchdown allows tasks syncing with outlook. Not sure about Notes.

But to be honest, as has been said, why spend €500 on a phone and not have done any research into wether it will do what you want it to.

Not only that, but if its a problem, then in most instances you wil be able to return it within 7 or 14 days for a refund (less any charges) so you should have done that.

Whats the moral of this tale :- Always do your research!
[Desire General] Jon_010:
If you had such explicit requirements, why didn't you do the research before hand?

Regarding issue with syncing tasks, use the calendar to create your tasks in outlook, use an app on your computer called google calendar sync to upload it to a gmail account, then you'll have them on your phone... simple.
[Desire General] solaris78:
Gustibus non disputandum est!

That means (I hope I write it down correct): the tastes are not questionable!!

I did my research before buying this toy, and I can return it in 30 days (10 to go), and the HD2 was the first option but the sizes ... to big for me.

At the office I use Outlook on my laptop to do notes, task, appointments (on my laptop)... and so on, and when I'm on the field maybe I need some of them, so.... I WILL LIKE TO SYNC MY NOTES FROM LAPTOP WITH MY PHONE. What is so hard to understand? That not everybody use the phone for games and billions of apps which are doing the same thing. In 3 hours of searching I found not more than 5 interesting application (and the WM has 3 of them in the original OS). That's all!

Why I use Outlook ? Because I have a job and an server e-mail and like any more than 70% of this world computers I use MIcrosoft Software. I received an advice from one forum: use Gmail notes! You gotta be kidding ! This 500 euro phone should have some real business apps. I don't use phone for music, pictures and games, instead I need a mail client which allow me to select different mails and mark them like read, or unread. I receive hundreds of mail daily and I need to organize them. What it's so hard to understand?

Give me a break with this Android OS. I hoped that will be different than Iphone but it's the same sheet. I prefer to have notes instead Facebook...social communication ! And tasks instead youtube!

When I bought this phone I never thought that the sync software will not sync notes and tasks. The 5 years old Nokia or Sony that I used then had it. MY problem is that the solution is so simple but you prefer to tell me that I have 3 billions of apps, why I need notes when I can play poker or chess?in 5000 languages.

In my opinion Android is a great software but ... for this price you should think that are some people which are trying to use it for the daily job and not for messenger to pick-up minor teenage girls.

One of you wrote: why do you use Outlook, get on-line... Some information will never go on-line... company policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes Android it's more simple to use than WM, but because it's simple he does simple things, but I NEED MORE! so I guess I need WM, complicated but it has what I need; it's just like cars: some people like muscle cars (pure power and simple technology), but others prefer German or Japanese cars which are maybe a little bit complicated but they offer something different.

thanks anyway!
[Desire General] solaris78:
what mail client do you use: Gmail, yahoo? are you in the kindergarden? or maybe you use phone for Facebook and Youtube. It's so cool you can see your friends on-line. Take care, maybe someday you will lose contact with the real world, and than you will be in the MATRIX... and poor me I'll be offline!

Sorry I couldn't resist ! but now seriously :WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THIS PHONE ?
[Desire General] foner78:
So basically you're here to have a rant because you made a poor choice when buying a phone. Fair enough.

For what it's worth, I work in IT, and I use the Desire to keep a watch on my company email and calendar, sync'ed from Exchange Server. Does the job just fine. I don't use notes in Outlook because what ever you want to do, there is always a better alternative, even a note app on the phone itself would do a better job.
