[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
I installed Enom 1.9.2 but Google Maps wouldn't update from v4.0

I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it but now I can't install from market or Titanium. When using the market it says 'Package file is invalid.'

Any ideas?

Apologies if this has been answered before -- my search-fu turned up nothing.

I've made a replacement helvetica thin font file based on the Satisfaction font, however on TF3D's weather tab, the current weather cannot display because it seems that the font size is too large. Usually what I see is the degree symbol and part of a number.

What, exactly, would I have to do to fix that? I couldn't find a registry for the font size, but I'm not so good at this kind of stuff.

Any solutions would be appreciated...

On my phone i go to a pic, then i press "share", then i press "picasa", then i choose pics and i upload them. they all upload and are "completed" but then i cant find them on my picasa application on my computer or my picasa web albums.

Is there something i have to do after i upload them from my phone? its such a cool feature but it doesnt seem to work for me...thanks

EDIT: Wow that took me way too long but I figured it out, sorry. Please delete...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokios:
I have been running into this problem for the past few days and it is annoying me. I have a process '0' in the Network Usage field in spare parts that has 100% usage. This appears to be what is keeping my phone awake 100% as well. It shows 6 hrs + usage with is in sync with when I last powered off and on the phone.

I have formatted my sd card, partitioned it and applied a2sd. Installed DamageControl 2.07.2 ROM, flashed a nexus boot screen, a black keyboard w/ no haptic, and a menu+menu fix for my hero.

I slowly installed one app at a time and no app triggered this to happen. all of the sudden it seems like it just starts. It may be an app but I have installed my apps in different orders every time and this always happens.

Has anyone else had this issue? I love rooting and custom roms, but this is becoming an issue as it is killing my battery..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokios:
Alright, turns out my process 0 100% thing is not indicative of what is using the battery. I formated to a fresh version and it was still 100%, but the phone was sleeping.

I am still, however, running into this issue of 100% wake time. i have formatted and reinstalled DamageControl v2.07.2 several times, installing apps in different order and nothing that I can see myself doing seems to trigger the phone to not sleep.. and nothing in spare parts tells me what it is. all I get is 100% not sleeping/running.

Has anyone else run into this and can tell me exactly what might be triggering this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] real2935:
With Android 2.1 running on HTC Fuze, the wheel light cycles as when charging under Windows Mobil. This seems to help the battery die soon. Don't seem to be any settings relative. Any others seeing this? Any solutions found?

It's "breathing" to le tyou know it's in a deep sleep state and not wasting battery. It's an LED bulb, so it's not using much battery at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea the battery is being drained by many other things, the "breathing" LED is certainly not one of the main contributing factors, I can guarantee you that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
The LED might pull 1-2 % battery if you use the phone for like.. A week.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] real2935:
Wow

I guess I believe you folks. However, that function is about as dumb as the lights on all of my electronic equipment telling me their off. Lights used to mean, "Hey, I'm on."

You can disable it by deleting a line in the startup, if you don't like it.

It was debug something...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
It was to debug deep sleep. If you get the breathing lights, it's sleeping. Sorry, this project IS NOT ready for the masses, and you (real2935) are acting like the masses all by yourself. It doesn't help anybody to complain about things the devs put in place to help themselves. Hell, they could've kept this entire project to themselves and only released it when they deemed it ready - and you wouldn't be able to use it at all. Even worse, the devs could've just kept the ENTIRE project to themselves and NEVER released it. So quit whining.

Missed Oppotunities

Ah, My Dearest arrghhh, you may be young, so I will endeavor to be patient. As all of the others, your first comment was informative and taught me much. My second comment was meant to be "tongue in cheek,... that means it was a joke. Many of us who are not programmers, are still quite technically savvy. You have a great opportunity to teach without being condescending. You will chase many of the "masses" away from becoming better. I hope that is not you intention. That would be sad. Next time I will put a Happy Face so that you will know I'm kidding when I am. :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Rar,

You must realize that thinking a little breathing LED is killing your battery is well... silly. When you just stop and think before you post, no body gets hurt :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] TheDeadCPU:
Okay. Enough.

Rar, the LEDs are not killing any battery. But there should be an APK somewhere in the XDAndroid thread for a program that removes it. Though I would advise using it as it shows that your phone is using minimal power and that nothing is keeping it from sleep.

Arrrghhh. Remember, not everyone thinks the same ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] naviru:
ok ok everybody

dont laugh on anybody and of course asking this is not silly at all. this happens when people are not sure about something, and so we ask questions.

if anybody misunderstand anybody, its fine too. as long as we get the actual meaning afterwards.

I donno how we can disable the breath light but i m pretty sure it doesnt cost battery. it might be the same if you put your battery unused for a week (in that case the power still will go down like a few percents). since android is super stable for daily use, i suggest keep the light too. just to let you know if he is sleeping or totally dead...sometimes it happens. it just turns itself off or freezes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well I read somewhere that you actually use the program LED Effects to change the behavior of the breathe LED... but I can't find it in my build, and my LED definitely breathes for me when it's in sleep mode!

I like having the LED, lets me know that Android is still running OK.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] driftoz:
to me i think the breathing lead was used to know that the phone has gone to deep sleep mode and not just having the screen being black and still using full power, u put the phone to sleep and the led isnt breathing then either the phone isnt in deep sleep or it had frozen. in earlier builds there used to be alot of probems with the phone not going into deep sleep or freezing after a few hours after being in deep sleep.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
i have a solution :)

turn the phone face down. that way you wont see it breathing :eek:

Otherwise you can modify the build.prop and comment out the line for led breathing. Haven't looked into android for awhile so cant remember which lines you need to comment/remove out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
If you use LED Effects, you can set various LED flashing modes for various events, such as deep sleep, incoming call, text, charging, etc...I agree with leaving it on, it lets you know that it is in deep sleep. Without that, you wouldn't know if you device has froze or just had the screen turned off. In that case you would have to try to turn it back on to check, when you could just see if it is 'breathing' instead. If you can't find the LED Effects .apk, I have attached it below.

I Got a white housing off ebay for my girlfriend 32A.

Here's the issue. I can't put the screws back on the new case, the threaded sleeves are not present and I doesn't look like I can remove them from the old housing.

Anyone else had this issue, any solutions, other then hot glue haha ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KAwAtA:
You can take them out, but it's unbeleivably difficult. I would just buy from this site: http://cnn.cn/shop/tmobile-white-housing-p-6164.html

Although it's more expensive, it'll save you the hassle. There are also housings which have those golden rings there but your screws won't fit it lol. i've gone through this haha
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] CasseTrop:
How can you remove them ? Pull out ? or you have to break the plastic around it and then it won't fit in the holes ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
same problem here took apart my mytouch. and now stuck. I am going to melt the old housing and attempt to pop the screwholes (gold threads) out of the older housing. and pop them in. if not i guess gorilla glue -_-
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KAwAtA:
well ive heard some ppl lighting the end of something like I dunno, a nail and somehow pull it out. (I dont know at all to be honest) I've tried, and it sticks RIDICULOUSLY HARD. From my experience, I would suggest you not bother with it and get a refund or something, or complain and say it doesnt have enough w/e for u to put it on
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
lol solder the housing together?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] CasseTrop:
Can you tell me what I should do with that ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
you do know if your faceplate locks in to the middle portion, you can just leave it like that. unfortunately My Mytouch (32b) does not have any screws on it. doesnt affect functionality. fortunately the faceplate (32b) fits the stock middle portion. its tight, but locks in accurately with out having to use screws. also the adhesive left behind by the stock faceplate was strong enough to glue in the new faceplate. I got lucky. I tried prying off the new faceplate after installation (in an attempt to fix my previously damaged vibration motor and the LED) it wouldnt budge :confused: so I left it alone. your best bet is to use adhesive (glue) and make sure it does not dry, or drip into any circuits or the screen itself. dont use glue if the faceplate snugs in tight, just put a plastic shield/case over it so even if you accidentally drop it, the faceplate wont come off. good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] CasseTrop:
Thanks for the advice but I want it OEM style (with screws) or it will just stay black original housing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] KAwAtA:
Not having the screws makes the phone look a bit loose and bleh. Also, if they dont include the gold rings or w/e on your faceplate, they probaly didn't include anything else which would mean your LED won't show in the front and the speakerhole /earpiece or w/e its caled i forget! Will look weird. I suggest you try the one I showed you or like you said, stick with the original housing. That's probably the best!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:
maybe you bought a 32b housing personally mines fine, and i fixed my led lol. forgot to put the clear plastic. anyway my phone is ok w out screws. just have to be careful not to drop it on a hard surface.

Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] CasseTrop:
The led stuff and speaker hole thing it's all good, you can easily remove it from the original housing, i'm waiting on the seller to see what he has to say. I guess i'll just take my money back and leave as it is.

That's not an option for me, I just wish I could see your face when you'll drop the phone and the parts will be all over the place haha.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] _ice_:

[General Accessories] cauli:
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth keyboard? This is for use with Android (running on a Hero), however as third party drivers are available which support SPP & HID I think this shouldn't impose any restrictions on choice.

I'm in the UK & willing to buy from anywhere that will ship here, though a UK or at least European source is preferred.

Not surprisingly, portability, battery life & reliability/build quality are important. Flexible solutions, such as cloth, seem to offer too poor accuracy, so I think I'm probably after a folding keyboard.

I've spent a few hours searching online, but can't find any keyboard which is still available that gets consistently good reviews. I'd rather not pay a king's ransom, but if the keyboard will last a good five years plus so that it can be used with future devices, I don't mind investing a reasonable sum. IOW, value for money is important but that doesn't mean it has to be dirt cheap.

Any suggestions?
[General Accessories] kasebeats:
I am using the Stowaway - ThinkOutside universal keyboard. Used it on my N95, 5800, even e71 and it also works on my HD mini so id go for that. Folds up neatly, slim, quality build.
[General Accessories] cauli:
Thanks for the response. I ended up ordering a Freedom Pro from Handtec, for about £60, four days ago. Still waiting for it atm. I'll post back here when I have it & know if it works or otherwise.

I did look for the ThinkOutside Stowaway as it gets lots of good reviews, but couldn't find it in the UK. The closest was an iGo Stowaway which claims to be the same as ThinkOutside's Stowaway Shasta for Blackberry.

BT Keyboards for mobile devices seem less popular now than they were 2-6 years ago, which I find a bit puzzling.

how can I change the contact names list to first than last names rather than last name to first?
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Search for an application called, "Contact Changer"... and I believe it can be found on the PPCGeeks website, in their forums.

It should be in version 1.3 if I'm not mistaken. I have it on my device. It quickly runs a scan of your contacts, then SHAZAM... switches 'em up appropriately by user settings.
[HD2 General] shimmer401:
it looks like its $1.. and why does it scan SHAZAM?
[HD2 General] bently118:
I think he meant shazam..as in "presto changeo"...not the app.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
No, the application is definitely FREEWARE. I would not have advertised for it otherwise... and like I said, check PPCGeeks, or do some thorough Google searching. If you still come up empty-handed, I'll find the .CAB on my PC and post it here.

Indeed. That is correct. :rolleyes:

This thread is to all the wonderful developers out there.

I have been enjoying this site since my introduction to the smart phone world. Over the past few months, it has been very helpful with my cdma hero and lust for mods and roms. Now for the question...

What is the best way to learn the arts of software design, coding, and everything you all do on this site. I would like to learn all of this, but just don't know where or how to start.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

(And I hope this is in the correct forum. Still a wet behind the ears noob. Lol)

[Off-topic] Fallen Spartan:
Rudegar is correct. Focus on one topic/subject at a time, then start to read the guides on this. For example, if you are looking to cook your own rom, then there are guides/kitchens to help you
[Off-topic] nimcmillion:
Thanks guys. I will look into the guides.

On another note. Lets say one wanted to get into the profession of designing software. Whats the best course for that? Traditional 4 year college?
[Off-topic] Fallen Spartan:
Also depends on what area you are looking at, i.e. whether you're looking at computer programming (source coding), software engineering, game designing etc

Plenty of courses at universities, tech's or even by reading up on source material and experimenting with basic programmes and apps for your mobile

Either they don't use their phones to call or they don't own the phone yet.

I solved this by getting a stereo bluetooth headset. for me, its the SE MW600.
[XPERIA X10 General] bimmerboii:

This happens for me too, didn't happen with my W995...

It's not a huge problem though, for me at least. I mean, you have to take the phone out of your pocket anyway to answer, and then it's not a big deal to yank out the earbuds as well for that conversation.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
why don't use the original adapter for the earphones?

-Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Ya. The phone is designed to assume that when you have headphone plugged in that they include a mic. If they don't, you should be connecting the mic adapter and then plug your headphones into that. Otherwise, ya, you won't be able to talk.

That's why they made the mic adapter with a standard 3.5mm jack, rather than building it into the included earbuds.
[XPERIA X10 General] bimmerboii:
I use my shure headphones which I find the best for music/calls/media. I use it on almost all my devices (ipod, laptop). Most of the time when I take a call at home ill be lying on my bed using the headphones. Wish there is a way around this

How do these headphones perform all that have them? Are they worth $100, and if anyone received a better deal than that could you please direct me to where you ordered yours from.

I already know that some Canadians received it when they ordered through Rogers. So if thats how you obtained your set no need to direct me there, because I am in Chicago, IL and thats too far a drive for me.

[HD2 General] pedrovay2003:
Is there a way to separate the different volume settings, like system, SMS, reminders, etc.? I listen to music on my HD2 a lot, and I almost deafened myself by bumping the volume up and then getting a text. I like how on my old Dash 3G every option was separate instead of bunched into just the system volume -- Is there a way to do that on the HD2?
[HD2 General] CRO_Misho:
Yes there is.

Go to settings/sound & display/Single volume/off.

Some people on this forum had reported issues with this option, so do a little testing and see if it suits you.
[HD2 General] pedrovay2003:
The single volume thing just separates the ringer and the system volume. I'm talking about stuff like SMS, MMS, reminders, voice mail notifications, and THEN system. Thanks, though. :)
[HD2 General] Sentinel196:
System and ring volumes can be seperatied by going to Settings tab/Sound and Display". Switch off "Use single ring/system volume"

Program and button clicks can be set to soft/loud by going to Settings tab/Menu/All Settings/Sounds and Notifications.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
I also have this problem. To me, it makes sense having a single volume control that goes from full volume to silent and vibrate.

If I play media, though, volume should be controlled through a different setting, with ringer/notification being the other setting. I noticed windows mobile (or sense, I don't know which one's doing it) will pair media along with notifications and ringer will be left alone, that is, untill you get to silent or vibrate, then both volume levels are applied the same silent or vibrate rule, even media!

I take it for granted now because, before windows mobile, every smartphone and dumbphone I've used allows you to play media when the rest of the volumes are set to silent or vibrate (I personally use vibrate all the time), but then when listening to music I have to pull the phone out of vibrate, which, as OP mentioned, suddenly brings the notifications to full volume too (and I like keeping notifications at full volume when I get off of vibrate mode, for example, when I'm sleeping, and not have to jump to settings to move notifications from soft to loud).

Worse, yet, is that there's no way to create and save a sound profile, which ALL dumbphones do. The only profiles available are the ones under Sounds & Display (where Display is only a button that leads to yet another menu, what gives?!). The closest I got to a profile I use is by setting the ringer to "Vibrate", system volume to 100 and ringer volume to 0 and control "system" volume as necessary with the rocker switch (all my notifications are off until I go to sleep when I have to manually set them all on, sadly). But if I ever, by mistake, press any of the "Profiles" under Sounds & Display, all the settings I had carefully set get thrown out and I have to do it all over again.

Maybe I need to peek under window's actual settings instead of using sense, and maybe I'll find something suitable.

I look forward to a version 6.6 or 6.7, or 6.8 of windows mobile where it retains all it's power, but simple issues such as this, or finger-friendliness are resolved. Microsoft did say they'd continue working on this windows as Mobile Classic (or proffesional, was it?)
[HD2 General] pedrovay2003:
Honestly, that was my exact same reaction. I can't believe something so basic, something so simple isn't in the newer Windows Mobile OS, but the old ones had it. Honestly, this is almost a deal-breaker for me.
