Flash won't be replaced till there is something to replace it with. Please don't say HTML 5 cause thats a complete joke. As hulu just said in a press release. HTML is nice and cool but for our statistics and our video quality HTML 5 is many years behind flash. Just take a look at youtube and thier HTML5 experment. With the power and money of google behind them their HTML5 site looks like crap compared to their flash site.

Also HTML 5 severly lacks in vector graphics which was the main selling point about flash for years. Then take into account cross platform bugs and development and HTML 5 is just gonna be a flashy form of HTML 4. Flash is so powerfull it will always have a home. Hell now you can make iphone and ipad apps with it, even after Stevo gave the no no.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
That is just the point... there is NO NEED to replace it. It doesn't do ANYTHING USEFUL!

Are you trying to say that VP6 is better than h264 and VP8? Because that just makes you look like a flashtard.

Based on your statement here, I just took a look, and you know what? It is EXACTLY THE SAME. The ONLY difference is that when you come across a webm/VP8 or h264 transcoded video, they don't need to load that flash bloat garbage.

How does this apply to html5 at all? If the image is a vector graphic, it is up to the browser to handle it. If YOUR browser doesn't handle vector graphics properly, don't whine about html5, whine about your browser, or better yet, CONTRIBUTE to it.

Which remains unnecessary. Vector graphics are cool and all, but hardly worth subjecting yourself to the intense BLOAT.

Huh? You seem to be SERIOUSLY CONFUSED.

Multi-platform support has ALWAYS been one of the MANY MANY SERIOUS weaknesses of flash. They take YEARS TOO LONG to support new platforms -- if EVER (see apple). Their new platform support is always buggy and slow. The multi-platform nature of HTML5 is its STRENGTH and will ENSURE that it is selected more consistently than that terrible flash thing.

Now you're REALLY dreaming.

Flash is NOT powerful. It is WEAK. It is SLOW. It is UGLY. It brings about INCOMPATIBILITY. It never did ANYTHING useful for ANYBODY. The ONLY reason why anyone uses it now (or has EVER used it) is because they don't/didn't know any better.
[G1 General] goldenarmZ:
Also... IT TUK MA JERB!!!

I'm with the lbcoder camp 100% on this. Flash is and always was a piece of sh*t. 10 years ago it was (debatably) a necessary evil, a slow, clunky, constant pain in the arse necessary evil.. but these days it's utterly useless and has been superseded in pretty much all of its functions. It's mostly perpetuated now by old fashioned web designers who have failed to keep up with the times, but of course youtube and its ilk have a lot to answer for here with the rise of the detestable FLV container.

I've always hated flash and it still pisses me off every single day of my life. If I ever met the moron who first secreted it onto the internet, I would pummel his face into the floor until it resembled a stamped hamburger.

Bring on the WebM support and let flash die its long overdue death.
[G1 General] nibras_reeza:
Forget the all the anti-flash. Flash does need to die. Adobe recognizes it too and so they are now experimenting with Flash to HTML5 tool.

But, till it does die, we need Flash for all the video and music goodies.

So, did anyone sign up for this beta? Does anyone have the older beta apk that works with ARMv6?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sarcastic:
Hi,

What I'm trying to do is sharing the internet from my PC to Hero. I tried using Virtual router and Connectify. The phone is able to connect to the hotspot in both instances, I can see the packets being sent, but there is no internet connection.

There has to be something bout the Modaco ROM that I have running, because when I had 2.1 Rom on my phone it could connect to the internet using the method I mentioned. But that ROM was sluggish and I reverted to the cupcake.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] prodygee:
Sharing from your laptop to your phone. I've seen the other way around happen, but not the backward method. I don't know if that's possible with the applications available at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sarcastic:
It's the same as connecting ti a WIFI router. The only difference is I want to share the connection using my wifi adapter as I'm using WiMAX connection.

The thing is- there's some limitation on the phone, probably implemented by HTC to force peolpe to use thei GSM connection.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sarcastic:
Any ideas?
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
The grey area i mean. I have a scratch. I want to paint over it
[Desire Accessories] Software Guru:
A scratch!! already
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
yeah and it felt only from...2 or 3cm
[Desire Accessories] vdude_1:
I'm confused..which stylus is this?
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
id like something to cover my scratch on the phone...to paint over it
[Desire Accessories] anthropolyte:
I think he's talking about the gunmetal surround... It's debatable though. My suggestion is metallic model paint.
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
yeah thats what i mean...but i would need the exact kind of color
[Desire Accessories] JaykaySLO:
go to a paint store. Homebase if you`re in the UK.
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
im in paris i dont know any ill check thx
[Desire Accessories] pcootjes:
scratch

I have the same, a little scratch on de purple gunmetal around the

screen. Does anybody on the internet know the exact colour

code or name ??

thanks in advance,

cor
[Desire Accessories] ephumuris:
Little scratches? I was pissed up and dropped mine i have 3 seperate clusters of dings on mine! lol.
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
any news/ infos?
[Desire Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
The only way you're going to get an exact colour match is by emailing HTC themselves and begging them to let you know the colour coding.
[Desire Accessories] totorip:
cant find the good email to contact them, do you have?
[Desire Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
Nope. Try one of their regular support emails on their website.
[Desire Accessories] TeCH-Guruz:
If your going to go threw all the messing about of painting it why not take it apart take the metal frame to a hobbie/model shop an get it painted any colour you want? Just an idea

Looks like Apple has actually done us a favour:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8639240.stm

Adobe putting all their efforts into Android can only be a good thing, I cannot wait to be able to have Adobe Air apps on my phone, it opens up a whole load of new apps avaliable to us.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] attn1:
Actually, I see it as a war of greedy corporate types, both wanting control of what we have access to - for a price. Neither wants open source, neither wants to play nice. They both want to pick our pockets, and are fighting like two huge predators fighting over who gets to eat us.

Hulu has huge pressure to go to a pay structure and DRM, and these guys all want their cut. It's no wonder people are cutting their cable and going back to free tv in droves. Remember the days when advertisement subsidized the cost of content and brought it to us free? Well, those days appear to be numbered.

[Hero CDMA General] Bad--Dog:
no i never even heard of that but i do have alot of apps
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
No mixzing
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
use spare parts to figure out whats keeping it awake your question is a little general as there are any number of things that could be keeping it awake
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
the damage leaks are sick, but i dont believe the awake issue has been fixed, i dont think hes touching it until the new official 2.1 comes out, try a fresh build, a newer one he has this problem figured out, or try a rom built off fresh 2.0d

do any of the fresh roms have jit enabled im addicted to its speed now dont wanna go back to non jit

[HD2 General] jiggahj:
NO roms, just cabs, about 10 nothing to crazy just little minor adjusments here and there with tweaks.

i didnt want to flash roms beacuase i have a mac and cant, but my fone just "hardreset" it started up like the first time but now i have no home screen no quicklinks and cant even use cht editor to bring back clock and all that other stuff what am i suposed to do now ?? a real hard reset ? this is ridiculous
[HD2 General] alexs0fly:
Can you access the start menu? I'd just use Pimbackup, back up everything and try a real hard reset or new ROM
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Are you sure Sense is turned back on? Settings/Home/Items/ check Sense , ok. Should come on.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
So you just get the blank windows 6.5 home screen (no sense) when it starts up? Can you still pull up the start menu and get to settings? If you can, go into the "today" settings, then "items" tab, and see if the box is checked for "HTC Sense"...if not, check it and click "ok" to close.

If that's not it...then are probably close to needing a hard reset. Is BsB Tweaks one of cabs you installed?
[HD2 General] thunerclaps:
Sounds as though you simply just need to turn HTC Sense back on, in which the instructions were posted by others above me. If not, hard reset it. Before panicking and acting crazy, going forward, read the CABS instructions and release notes before installing. It's that simple.
[HD2 General] randalltroy:
This happened to me yesterday, somehow, between BSBtweaks, and the New version Co0kies, and CHT, I somehow turned sense off.I am sure it was user error on my part.

Try following the instructions above.
[HD2 General] jiggahj:
yay

yea it worked thanks i almost went ape pooh on the fone last ngiht lost sleep and went to an 8am class it sucked hahah well evrything fine and dandy now, i definitely turned it off to install chteditor, and i guess i forgot in the process since i had just hard reset and started being very selective apps and tweaks applied, before though i was consistanly running with 280.xxMB 300+MB right after start up in that area now its seams a bit more sluggish, generally stayin around 260 and 280 on start up? any clues as to what it could be i have less installed now then before. and i log the tweaks i have done (for the most part when i remember) happy holidaze btw !!!
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
Is it possiable I can have softrest (cap) shortcut button ( instead of Powering off / press softrest button under cover / remove battery) on my t-mobile htc hd2 without installing non-official rom?
[HD2 General] suryo88:
yes you have to instal one of this cab file.

search for xdaShutdown or Touch X reset
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
You can also install HButton (along with the xdaShutdown cab mentioned here), so you can map this app to a long press of the power button.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
Yep, this is what i was looking for...thanks lot :)
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I dont understand this need for "reboot software" whats so hard about holding the power off button for a few seconds then hitting the power off button that appears on screen, then pressing the power button again once the phone is off?

If your phone is so fubar that you have to resort to pulling off the battery cover and poking the reset button, then a piece of software to reboot it likely wont be of any use.

I do remember trying out such software long ago on my MDA, and it always seemed the software just instantly rebooted, rather than doing a graceful shutdown. What are the chances of file system corruption by repeatedly doing instant reboots rather than graceful shutdowns? especially dealing with the larger file storage spaces we have now
[HD2 General] toreone:
RESTART

I use this....It worked better than the XDA shutdown for me.

[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
d0ug,

I was thinking the same exact thing. Maybe out of some freak of nature, I got the only perfect T-mobile USA HD2 but, I have never had to do any type of forced hard reset or forced soft reset. I rarely shut it off, mostly running 24/7

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Ive not had any issues with mine either, other than the well documented SMS bug that starts slowing the phone down around 200sms messages or so.

Hopefully there will be a fix from HTC for that, in the meantime i just use PIMBackup weekly to backup all my SMS messages, and have created a "blank" message backup file that i use to restore over the message DB wiping out all the SMS.

For normal usage the phone has been great, ive only had to reset a few times after screwing around with some more advanced settings, nothing that would have been a problem for sometime just normally using the phone.

I've only poked my reset button under the battery cover once, mainly to see that it worked lol, basically the day i got the phone, going over all the functions of the phone to make sure everything worked.

[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
At the moment, I'm on a quest to extend X2's battery life to the max.

I've disabled slideview, enabled power management options in advanced config, backlight, HSDPA off, GSM mode.

Last, but not least, I am wondering if there is a possible way to disable accelerometer?

I'm 99% sure it's automatically disabled when the device is suspended

accessing the ServiceMenu.exe aka the 'secret menu' (can't link as I'm a newb) you seemingly can disable/stop it. Not sure how much longer the battery life is extended...

[EVO 4G General] Avalaunchmods:
but i work for best buy mobile and my boss knows i would marry android.

she told me today she got an email about the EVO but before she could check it we got busy as hell. but anyways im not trieng to get anyone all excited but just thought i throw any info i get to you all

ill find out tom. what it was.
[EVO 4G General] howdyace:
Doubtful it will be anything substantial but nontheless keep us informed bro.

Cheers!
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Over on Android forums there's an insider that has predicted everything that has happened with this phone, and listed specs before it was even the Evo. He's pretty reliable.

Anyways, he's saying the Evo will launch on June 6th for Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc, and for Sprint on the 13th. If not the 6th for retail stores, then the 13th for everyone.

Pre-orders will start in mid- to late May.
[EVO 4G General] Abbens:
thats true its a good forum
[EVO 4G General] mountaindont:
any scoop on pricing?
[EVO 4G General] Avalaunchmods:
ha well you all know. but anyways its the may12th event in NY. i totally forgot i posted this :X sorry but anyways ill get more info tom. and hopefully remember lol
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
thats a day after my birthday! haha
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
The rumors are going everywhere on this. People are saying that since Sprint said it will be price competitively, that it should be around the 200 mark. However, others are saying the TP2 (all be that its a world phone built for business class) was priced A LOT higher than 200 upon release. Furthermore, since the Evo is the first phone for the US to incorporate 4G along with the mobile-hot spot, a giant screen, and Sprint's history of not having a freakin clue as to how to price phones "competitively" it could be as high as $300, but then, that would be pretty stupid to do as the iPhone will be released shortly after (if the release window stays in the late May early June slot)

tl;dr - $200 - $250

Not sure if this will include the Evo or not. It's just a screening of Bruckheimer movies. BUT! They did show the Prince of Persia trailer at CTIA, soooo.. I'll let you think on that.

You should check in the rotation section of BSB of "Phone" is added to the list of rotated apps...if it is [added], simply remove it and then soft reset.

Hi All,

Been trawling through the Wiki & forum, still confused as to the numerous 6.5 ROMs available. Would appreciate feedback on which one is best for :

- T-Mobile UK (bad signal area so good radio needed)

- good battery life

- Would like the latest (2.6) TouchFlo / Manila

- Regularly use GPS w. TomTom

- Need MS Office functions to be kept on the phone

- Needs to browse (stably) with HSDPA

- Bluetooth.

My phone is also used for my business mobile so the phone function needs to be *very* stable.

Thanks

Dave
[HD2 General] Shockwave Pyrotechnics:
Had a bit of an accident with my HD2 on Saturday. placed it on the back on my estate car... opened the back hatch to get stuff out, and as I opened the back it fell inbetween the gap where the rain gathers...... unloaded the car and closed the rear door.......... Crunch!! All I saw was the HD2 trapped with half of it sticking out the top!! It cracked the top bit of the screen and smashed the cam lens on the back!!! :mad:

So going to claim on my house insurance and get a desire I think, the size of the HD2 always worried me a bit and I always knew the screen would go one way or the other by dropping it or something, but maybe not in this way.

Everything still works perfectly on it, but for the camera, and the top layer of the screen is fine but the "underneath" is cracked at the top...oh well....

I'll put it on ebay when I've sorted my insurance out, I'm sure someone will buy it...

Try this:

To always have SMS Delivery Notifications enabled:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To disable them (can still enable per-SMS in SMS settings):

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note that SMS Delivery Notifications are a network provider option, and the recipient may refuse them to be sent out

Therefore, it's not possible for me to get delivery report on my HTC. I have to wait for release of windows 6.5. as i am having windows 6.0.. :( :( Even when i asked that if there is a fix for it they told a "NO".. Can anybody now tell me if it is possible to get deliver report by altering the registry or so..
