i have the n97 and i belive that it is much more customizable settings wise opposed to winmo, its also much faster. and doesnt hang or have those quirky glitches,

the ui is smooth and kentic scrolling is good, and it is MUCH more simple than winmo.

right now im thinking about going back to my n97 and selling my week old x2
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiRIus[X]:
2nd hand good no matter how old it is, is still considered as second hand :p how much r u letting out your X2? lol.. anyway, i have a friend used his n97 for not even 3 days and he got it changed to a winmo phone(true story) bcos he claims it was too crappy.. seriously i think its not bad but still lacking of something that can convince tech junkie :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SyntheticDistortion:
Well...I can't see why not actually, Symbian might not be the best OS ever built, but it is clear to me that some people prefer this over Android and WinMo..

I myself would like to know if it's possible though, give people something to choose and let them decide for themselves what they want to run on their Xperia, so why all the negativity?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagers:
This is a little like religious war. Windows Mobile vs. Symbian.

In this forum/community are rarely any people who like Symbian. Most users here were attracted because here is a very active xda (in sense of pocket pc, windows mobile) development. But there are also other operating systems for smartphones, one of them is Symbian.

The market share of Symbian is much higher compared to Winodws Mobile.

For this reason the Symbian community is much bigger then you may think. There are loads of forums, developers, modders and software for Symbian available. I see no reason for a war.

Unfortunately it's true and sad that Symbian hasn't been either upgraded on one device nor ported to another device. I haven't seen any any attempts to try (even while there is a community for firmware cooking).

Also true and sad that Symbian never gets updated by Nokia. But that's not a technical problem of Symbian. It's the commercial politic of Nokia which I also dislike.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Black'd:
As far as I know symbian is a nice os. The user doesn't have to know much to customize the device & apply mods. In my opinion comparing symbian with WM is like comparing apples & peaches (both are fruits but ... ). Also with respect to the politics issue mentioned already Nokia (which I never like) just continued to support symbian development in the same time when SE decided to drop it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HanZie82:
To bad many of you are so ignorant. :p (just kiding and provoking.)

There is not much wrong with Symbian, its just difrent.

I saw and used the SE Satio for a while wich has also Symbian OS (and update was possible).

It works very nice smooth and fast, touchscreen input is just as good as on my X1.

Dont get my wrong i personaly think WM is better (more options and such) but Symbian is not that bad...

the only software that

cannot

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
Which one?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ape187:
I think he means it in a funny way. Every software that was released was a short time after that hacked/edited and when a software isn't developed, there cannot be someone who can hack/edit it because the software isn't developed yet. ;):)

What I mean is the software that cannot be hacked/edited must be invented first. :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wess786:
Ah, I saw it in an other way, hehe. Is there any chance we will see an Symbian or iPhone OS?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
first we have to get the people who are willing to port the roms, i dont know a damn thing about iphone or symbian firmware so i am out of the question :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcbpradeep:
Do not scold any OS all of them have its own greatness,

your android failed to perform sooooooooooo many basic options which very old some past 8 to 10 years back basic symbian smart phones performed, like

1. for doing any thing you should have internet connection (pay for it)

2. I wan to sync my contacts direct to my PC purchase software (pay for it)

3. I want to install some old version applications google insists, and upgrade it (pay for it)

4. I want to delete all contacts at a time download a software

5. Blue tooth only for file transfer and internet sharing

6. all your applications will be controlled by some one else no security

7. you want or not you sink with google if not you will not get any thing ...........

so like this there are soooooooooo many susu in this technology.

It is my bad luck i am also having x-peria

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PersianSphinx:
agreed. I used to have the w960i and the touch screen response was ****. the screen was good since worked decent in apps, but in the main UI IT WAS ****. the winmo touch response isnt good either as ive seen on my friends x1. its good but the UI is crap. android better :p

the best thing my w960 had that nothing else has was the walkman player. i liked it more than i like itunes, and thats saying alot. but even that had annoying problems...

I've got a 3 branded htc hero (unlocked) and successfully managed to create a gold card (at least, I think I did. I haven't yet seen a CID error)

Anyway, when trying to run RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver

I keep getting the USB 170 error

I tried manually uninstalling drivers, removing HTC sync completely.. and nothing..

I also tried to downgrade by renaming the .exe file to heroimg.zip and putting it into the sd card

The fastboot seems to load it, but once the blue bar is complete, it goes to "Checking... [HEROIMG.ZIP] and then it just returns to the menu of fastboot

What is wrong?

[HD2 General] sony007:
What is the biggest keyboard which can be installed on the HTC HD2? I have tried swype and the standard keyboard that comes with the phone, but I tend to be hitting the key next door at times resulting in me taking longer than I would like to send a simple text.

I haven't seen an Iphone keyboard before but I have not heard anyone mentioning the difficulties with the typing on that phone, I could be wrong of course.

I need some decent size keys to press, it wouldn't of been to bad if we had a stylus in the phone.
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
Trust me, the Iphone keyboard is harder to use.

I always miss the buttons on the standard keyboard, but is it really a problem?

XT9 corrects me 98% of the time.

And with swype its not a problem at all...

You are swyping the keyboard, right? Because its almost impossible to press the buttons.
[HD2 General] sony007:
Maybe my damn fingers are just too big, with swype I find myself rolling my finger to see if I'm swiping the right key or the one beside it. Oh well let's see how it goes.

Cheers
[HD2 General] trocchietto:
Then you could consider the possibility to move the keyboard on the horizontal way, using software as girator, then if you use both the thumbs with an angle of 90 degrees it is really easy to write, look in youtube a video that shows how a iphone user can write faster than one that use the great swype on hd2, it is just a matter of pratical skill that stems for some training. anyway there are software that use bigger keyboard, if I well remember is the spb keyboard.

:D 3 solutions...

1)swype

2)training

3)spb keyboard

seems easy...:D
[HD2 General] sony007:
Yeap practice is definately the way forward in this case I think
[HD2 General] adamo86:
the iphone is much more accurate then hd2.i own the hd2 and the htc shift.
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
Accuracy depends on each and every person. You can`t say that one keyboard is more accurate than another, because only the person typing can be more or less accurate when using one of the keyboards. I`ve used both the iPhone and the HD2 (which I own) and I would go for the HD2`s keyboard anytime. But that`s just my opinion.

As for the OP`s problem, use SPB Keyboard if you have a hard time typing on the stock keyboard.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Wonderstruck80:
I work in edmonds, wa and it is really getting annoying that igo cannot recognize the major highway in my city. When i go to find address and try to input hwy 99 it simply does not recognize this. Is this a problem with igo or the teleatlas maps i'm using? Would the Navteq maps be any better?

Also, I'm currently running igo at this very moment, and my screen is "flashing" on and off. While i was driving earlier on the freeway, the screen turned off and voice announced "gps disconnected" and it didn't reconnect.

If there is anyway to fix these problems help is much appreciated...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gshadow325:
uninstall igo.

go into igo8 on your SD card and delete save

save is the user info. this will force the igo8 to reinstall again. if you recently flashed a rom, it can cause problems with igo8.

hope this helps. you can dump igo and run garmin :D or run both like me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rorytmeadows:
Just run your search on here to make sure that the address is correct and in the system. http://www.navteq.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
So is "hwy 99" valid? Is it not "Highway 99" and is "Highway 99" really a valid destination? For example here, Interestate 75 would not be a valid destination because there's no 'addresses' there, only cross-streets. Honestly never tried to route to it in iGO, but something to consider..

I primarily use Waze + common sense (since it's not routing well for most places yet due to the data they have), and a TomTom One when I really need routing. I gave up on running TomTom or iGO in my Tilt 2. They work fine, but make the phone overheat unless you keep the AC on and aren't all that robust.. iGO crashes randomly, TomTom less so but it's no better than my TomTom One I got for $50.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Wonderstruck80:
So i think i found a way to keep the screen on and the gps connected. I went to settings-device-power management and selected "always on". Do you other igo users have it setup this way as well?

Regarding the address problems. Yes, hwy 99 is definately a valid destination. My only concern is if it doesn't recognize hwy 99, i wonder how many other addresses it won't recognize. Again, does anyone using igo notice differences between the tele atlas and navteq maps?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
Does HWY 99 have an alternate name? For example, I95 here in Virginia is also known as Shirley G Memorial Highway...I did look up Redmond WA on my Igo and did search fo 99...couldn't find it, just a named (not numbered) highway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Using the navteq tool that rory posted, I was able to search/find several address along highway 99 in edmonds, including the Red Dragon Casino at 21917 Hwy 99

Edmonds, Washington 98036

So, any navteq-based solution would be able to find you addresses there
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Wonderstruck80:
So what you're saying is the navteq maps might be a better choice for me... grrrr...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
well my real intention was just confirm that "highway 99" is the true "addressable" name for that piece of blacktop...but yeah, it does sorta point to the fact that igo may not be the best option for you, no matter what else you end up with

Hi,

I've a magic 32B with cyanogenmod v4.2.15.1.

I would like to import StartSSL and FreeSSL certificates authority.

To do this I modified /etc/security/cacerts.bks with keytool on my pc, push the new cacerts.bks to my phone, changed permissions (644), and rebooted the phone.

Now I can connect to FreeSSL https websites without any warning. But the Android Market stops working: I can't download and install apps.

I've this log:

W/vending ( 776): com.android.vending.api.RequestDispatcher.performRequestsOverNetwork(): IOException while performing API request: Delayed instantiation exception:
E/vending ( 776): com.android.vending.AsynchRequestRunner$1.runRequestRetryingFailure(): Got IOException from async request: Delayed instantiation exception:
D/vending ( 776): com.android.vending.api.LocalAssetDatabase.notifyListener(): -4182933297171720279 / DOWNLOAD_FAILED

If I restore the original cacerts.bks, market works fine, but of course I've warnings with FreeSSL websites.

Can you help me to install FreeSSL CA without disturbing Android Market ?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kiltaiga:
for citrix client, i've edited cacerts.bks too.

i've used a java program, portecle:

http://portecle.sourceforge.net/

download it, then launch it with the windows command: java -jar portecle.jar

with this tools, open cacerts.bks, and import your ca cert

save the bks and push it into your phone, for me it has worked!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] topaza:
Hey Guys,

what I am planing to do is to use my Topaz for navigation on my bike.

Generally it works as I want it to work but I have one problem left. The sound is not as loud as it should be.

What I did so far:

- Install TomTom 7 on my Topaz

- Install a bluetooth headset in my helmet

- Redirect system sound to BT headset via BTA

- Set system volume to max as well as TomTom volume

So far everthing works great but when I am riding my bike its pretty hard to understand anything. So I have to get the sound louder somehow.

The Tool AudioBooster just says "No Headset Connected" when I am trying to start it.

Any idea how I could boost the sound output via BT?

Greetz Topaza
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Unzip attachment and copy to your Windows folder overwriting original and your max volume level will be increased.

BTW, this is a common question and solution is readily available with a simple google search. No need to open a new thread for this.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] topaza:
thanks for your reply. The file you provided increases the volume via. the Topaz speaker and via. (cable) headset a lot.

Unfortunately the sound via bluetooth stays the same or is increased a little but i cant recognice a difference...

any other ways?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
I don't use BT so I cannot confirm if it increases with this file but opening the .cvs show settings for BT, so I would assume it should increase BT as well.

I have an Extra loud one if you want to try it, however you will need to adjust your speakers to a lower level to avoid distortion.

Please let me know if you notice an increase in BT vol.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] topaza:
still cannot recognize any signifficant change in volume via BT :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Thanks for the confirmation.

Personally I think BT allows for too much background noise and your best option would be earbuds to cancel excess noise...

Unless you're on a Harley, then there's no way to hear anything but your motor... ;)

Sorry man...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] topaza:
damn, the idea was so great and everything works perfect except this ****ing BT headset - whose integration into the helmet was hard work btw...

There HAS to be a solution. Still don´t know how but i will get this thing working somehow...

Maybe I have to tune the hardware... a better speaker, a small amp or somewhat ^^

Anyway, if someone has an idea how to boost the sound, please let me know!
[Desire General] jock23:
Right, this is my first smartphone, so can someone explain something to me.

I don't have a Gmail account (I use the HTC Mail thing to access my Sky email account when I want to)

What I don't understand is the whole "Google Contacts" thing?

Where do these contacts sync to?

Can I enter the contacts on my phone and then sync them to the Internet (rather than have them stored on my phone?)

Do I need a Gmail account for this?

Any help and tips would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks
[Desire General] Fon22:
Yes you need a google account,

And yes the phone will automatically sync the contacts to your google account.

Fon22
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
The google contacts will sync to your gmail account, and be stored on the internet.

Creating a gmail account is fast and easy and you get a rediculous amount of storage (mine is at 7447 MB right now, and I am only useing 200 some MBs and I never delete things and have had the service since 2004).
[Desire General] pelotasplus:
with google/gmail account you have an access to plenty of google services -- google contacts is one of them.

htc desire has it's own People program that manages contacts for you. it can store your contacts for you in three different places:

- sim card

- phone

- google account

if you choose to store your contact as google contact, your phone will automatically submit your contact to google contacts service. so that you can manage your contacts there, sync with other devices/services that can use google contacts service, etc.

contacts stored on the phone or on sim card are, simply put, local to the phone -- not easily available elsewhere (i guess that you have to use htc sync, to push them somewhere)

how it works for me? i keep all my contacts as google contacts, so that when i add contact on my phone, it's automatically available on google contacts service site. most of the time i add contacts using webpage -- as it's faster -- these contacts are synced to my phone automatically as well.

VERY IMPORTANT: do not add birth date to your google contacts on your phone -- such contacts won't sync properly -- they will just disappear from the phone \-: luckly most of my contacts are linked with their facebook accounts -- and People app gets brith date form there.
[Desire General] narsyl:
I can't sync the contacts in both ways... only from the gmail account to the pda. There is any explanation?
[Desire General] Semicuda:
Maybe the contacts on your phone are set to be "Phone" contacts rather than "Google" contacts? If you did sync them from Outlook to your phone, then that's the case. To convert all of them to Google contacts, export them to the SD card, delete all and re-import them. Then it will ask whether they should be Phone- or Google-contacts.
[Desire General] narsyl:
Thanks, I will try.
