Sounds like a great idea for developers to collaborate, but I think it should also be said that there isn't any problem with the themes that have been comming out. Many of them look very professional already. My worry is that it will limit variety.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
A wiki or wave to share the knowledge would help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vigan8:
i would love to help with this. can we start a wave as a way to communicate or w.e :)
[Droid Incredible General] incredible53517:
Okay, I don't know if this is the right place.. Or if it is currently even possible. (I know root isn't done or even close).. I figured development and this would be app development so it sorta works in this area.. But here's a little request for someone whose good with code and making apps:

But I want wondering if someone could create a custom auto brightness app that lets you set the max and min for the the auto brightness on the Incredible. I like the auto feature on the Incredible, but it gets way too high and drains the battery too quickly so I have to turn it off :cool:..

So I would like to have an app that lets you set like EX: 5% as the minimum brightness and 40% as the maximum. Make it so you have have ajustable bars to move back and forth to pick your percentage or something along the lines of that. I think if someone managed to work some code and create this app it'd be heavily downloaded. So I was wondering if someone could make an app like this eventually in the future? Thanks again guys :)
[Droid Incredible General] redmatt:
Yeah, this would be cool. I am no developer, and there isn't anything in the market for this type if thing either, so i would assume it is really hard to do.
[Droid Incredible General] x.v_:
All you want it to do is be able to set the brightness? Just as a shortcut in a sense?
[Droid Incredible General] ximfinity:
Dazzle is a pretty good alternative for the time being. hopefully someone can come up with something with something that does it automatically too.
[Droid Incredible General] andrew53517:
(Sorry I'm Incredible53517 but I accidently had two accounts so we closed that one and now I'm just using my old one).

Okay, I want auto brightness but I want to choose how bright the phone gets bright and dim. I want to be able to set the max and min is what I'm saying and then have it automatically change by my surroundings...like the stock auto brightness does. I just think it'd be a nice features to have.. That's all. It'd save battery too.
[Droid Incredible General] coolfrooddude:
This seemed like a good idea so I looked through the source code for Eclair and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. All you can do is toggle auto brightness on or off and adjust the brightness when auto brightness is set to off. There is now way to cap the minimum and maximum brightness in the auto mode. Perhaps this is required by the hardware.
[Droid Incredible General] xcsdm:
Sure, but couldn't you write a program to automatically adjust the brightness (with auto turned off within the OS settings) and set your own caps?

I'm not an Android developer, but this seems like it might be possible.

XC
[Droid Incredible General] x.v_:
I am only a noob dev myself, and I'm only seeing a way to set the brightness, not sense how bright it is (read from light sensor).
[Droid Incredible General] andrew53517:
Okay, that's fine. I figured it would be hard since no one has really made it yet. But thanks for trying! I appreciate it! :D
[Droid Incredible General] two_cents:
if you use the android widget for... "power Control" it has all your stuff you like to turn on and off... wifi/BT/GPS/Sync/Brightness... if you tap brightness it goes from auto> full brightness> lowest brightness> back to auto... I didn't know this until I just started using the widget

the widget is included with the phone its not a download
[HD2 General] SnakePool:
I updated to an Energy Rom and now I'm having to refigure out how to use my mp3s as ringtones, notifications and such. I can't figure out how to make the mp3s show up in the alarm section. I've looked thru the windows folder and the ring folder, I even put my ringtones in my document folder. With the stock rom I just made a .wav and copied it into the windows folder, with the energy rom that no longer works for any ringtones or notifications.

[HD2 General] goolong:
alarms i believe have to be regular wave files, and i think under 5mb, though it could be smaller so but dont quote me on that number. It was a tutorial i saw somewhere for the HD2. Just put the wave file in the windows folder than it will show up.:p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
as title says, how exactly do I tell if my phone is sleeping or not when my screen goes off? I looked thru settings, apps, manage apps, and looked at each app permissions. some say "prevent phone from sleeping."

hope its not a dumb question.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyron:
download spare parts from the market and check battery history and select "partial wake usage"

hope this helps
[HD2 General] jkiller122:
I ordered my hd2 through tmobile customer service on april 26th,was told by the rep that they was in stock as i double checked through their website to upgrade and they was in stock,placed the order and had a scheduled delivery date for this wednesday.Today i called themsince i still havent received a tracking number,they tell me the order is still pending,after arguing with 2 reresentatives about how can i have a scheduled date for this wednesday if its still pending they finally say the phone has been backordered since april 20th. now my beef is how can you make an order on a phone that you dont even have in stock yet let alone tell a customer that they are in stock.so i speak to a supervisor who tells me the exact same things and just recommends to check stores to see if they have in stock and buy it there. I dont know what to do, im thinking on trying to start a class action lawsuit or something cause tmobile shouldnt be able to treat their customers like this and get away with it. I came here for advice and always look to this forum for help so please those of you who like to post useless comments and try to bash me or make a joke please dont post at all. Thanks in advance,sorry about the paragraph of writing lol!
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I can't give you legal advice here, but I can tell you that if you are speaking to a rep on the phone or in a store and you mention "Lawyer" they will most likely terminate the conversation and give you a number to their legal department. Corporations these days are not in the least concerned about potential lawsuits, since they are themselves probably suing a few dozen companies at the time anyway ;)

Do you have any proof (other than your expense receipt) that the rep told you they were "in stock"?

At Sears, we were told three years ago to start saying "We have it in stock" if it was at a warehouse, even if that warehouse was on the other side of the country. It became such an issue that employees were actually banned from saying the words "We don't have that in stock". Most customers didn't realize that it would be a month or sometimes more before they got their larger appliances until they reached the register. Of course, once they were given a delivery date, they were given that date in writing and could use that to either get their money back or get a portion of the purchase price back if a mistake in the inventory had been made.

Understand that T-Mobile has absolutely no control over the availability of any given handset. Even the "T-Mobile" branded phones are manufactured by other companies and these companies have their own schedules. But once a representative gives you a definitive date for either shipment or delivery, they have made a promise and as a matter of tort must honor that or offer you an alternative. Whether or not you accept that alternative is up to you, but if you were not offered it, then you have a case.

I certainly am sympathetic with you. I absolutely hate dealing with an individual who represents a company and makes promises that company can not or will not keep. As they say, this is why get everything in writing.
[HD2 General] jkiller122:
snark thanks for the support,i"ve calmed down a little since earlier,my girl helped out with that lol. Its great to hear that from you though and i dont have proof of the lady saying its in stock even though she did its proof that matters and to tell you the truth i know they really dont care to hear it,thats the part the kills me, i know someone high up from tmobile will care about this and losing a loyal 6 year customer but hey like you said what can i really do i guess i'll just keep the order so when they get more i'll be in line to get them and while im waiting just keep checking stores. Again thanks for the support,it's people like you that make this great forum what it is.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] bobsbobbers:
So, this winter my hero fell out of my car when I was getting out and it dropped into some snow without the back on it. Of course this lead to the water sensor getting wet and despite my best efforts to dry it it's pretty much still all pink now. Are there any avenues for a replacment sticker? The phone is just fine but I'm worried if I have a problem before october that should otherwise be covered under warranty that they'll use it as a scapegoat and not cover the phone. I already took the phone in while in perfect health and they said they don't have a way to replace the sticker and wouldn't even log the current condition in their records. Any help here would be appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] smstutler:
Look at some cheap phone to see if the sticker is the same.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mactruc:
In my store, those stickers mean nothing. We are corporate and the techs open EACH and EVERY phone to inspect for actually liquid, not just some silly sticker. If you store says the stickers are law, find a new store (corporate would be your best bet)!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] bobsbobbers:
I suppose I should note that the folks at my local sprint store did say that they didn't pay attention to it. Maybe i'm making a bigger deal of this than need be. I really just wanted them to make a note of it for future but they wouldn't do that, and with any policy change or an upset tech it's my word against theirs. Personally a few minutes with the phone open in front of them and a note on the account saying the sticker was messed up but the phone is fine would make me feel a lot more comfortable over the next 5 months till I can get my EVO.

Think I should just drop it and hope I've got no need to worry about this at any point?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Monkey Brawler:
I wouldn't worry about it to much, down here i can go to Corp. and they look at it, take my word give me a new one. 3rd party i just tell them i have a problem and they order me a new one and i wait for one to ship and just send it back. I went threw 3 diamonds and 2 heros with smart phones they just send it back in most cases without trying. If they said they dont care...they care ha ha. Don't worry about it bro, and if you have protection...its only $100...well worth it IMO.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
Bleach and a Q-Tip = new white sticker.

No offense to anyone, but most techs are to bone headed to realize that the sticker is all white instead of Red X's after you do it. I have done it to all the phones I have ever had and no one ever said anything about it missing the X's.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] fixxxer2008:
thats what i did, i took a water sticker off a cell phone battery i had and replaced the one on my hero. those stickers are pointless and get wet too easy when there is no water damage to the actual phone.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] gapoochi:
I don't know how well this will work but i put a piece of tape on the sticker on the phone and the battery for preventative measures.

I did not know about the bleach...my sister's phone well in a sink that was still wet but not filled or anything. Still the sticker turned pink and the store refused to replace the phone when she continued to have unrelated problems.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] abcdfv:
Mine is red from listening to pandora while I shower.

And no, the phone is not in the shower with me.

My sticker is red from dropping it in the toilet once. Phone worked fine, but sticker is red.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] droideveloper:
Yep, I do this all the time as well when I take my phone to the beach or out on the boat. Regular plastic wrap works pretty well too in a pinch.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] lostinroot:):
I dont know how you can take a phone that you know has been in the listern, and put it to your head!!!!

OH, every time i get a phone the first thing that comes off the phone is the water mark stickers. I know there are some on the inside too but if my phone ever gets wet, i just go home if im not already there get my stickers from my secret hiding place and put them back on.

And by the way my hero has been swimming 3 times, and it still works!!!! I had to have the inside of the screen cleaned out after is done drying

Who else uses the ol bag of rice trick????
[Hero CDMA Accessories] xtkxhom3r:
i tried the rice thing but it takes to long lol... so i just stuck my phone in the oven for a while... worked fine... then at night while it was charging i stuck it in a rice bag just to make sure

[Desire General] linuxtux:
Has anyone had weird experiences using mail with an exchange account?

Current issues:-

1. No notification tone, even though the in "Notification Settings", Email notifications and Notification sound are both on.

Note:- Notification tone for exchange mail account is the default notification tone, you cannot assign a unique tone with the exchange account (Really don't know why they wouldn't allow this). The same default notification tone works with other apps.

2. "Schedule" not working.

My settings;

Days: Mon - Fri

Peak time start: 8:00am

Peak time end: 6:00pm

Peak times (frequency): Every 30 minutes

Off-peak times: Manual

Have deleted and re-created the mail account a few times, but the problem remains.

Also had another issue, where I could receive emails, but couldn't send them. I rectified this by simply un-ticking and re-ticking the SSL checkbox.
[Desire General] aimache:
Hi,

Same issue for me unfortunately. I tried everything (delete the account, changing the time, exchanging peak and non-peak definition) but it fails most of the time.

Can't find any logical explanation so far and looking at many forums, we are not the only ones having this issue.

The only way to be sure it works is to change the timer configuration each morning to re-initialize it.

It bothers me so much that I'm about to sell my Desire ...
[Desire General] ed.dark:
Sh1t can the built in exchange - it's pooh!

Touchdown works well and is in constant development with good support. I know it's galling to spend another 20 bucks but it's well worth it.

[Desire General] aimache:
It also happens when using an IMAP account ...

I know this is a mail client issue, but I'm not about switching to another, I just want the existing one to work as planned :)

Perhaps the Desire update HTC is releasing (1.21.405.2) will correct that ...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
is there an app that will allow the user to display and send/receive his sms/mms on the pc when the phone is close by and connected to the pc by bluetooth?

i remember the nokia pc suite had this feature

wonder if its also available for android
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mgorman:
You can send/receive texts through Google voice on the web page

Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
i know about that

also, thats only for US and you need a separate google voice number

i was thinking of using the features like bluetooth pairing to do such thing using the same number from the sim card

if im not mistaken, those features were on nokia and sony erricson phones
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
Pdanet does that, at least for sms. But I'm not sure if the free version works, probably does, and I'm not sure about bluetooth connectivity either.

I tried usb tethering with pdanet and the pdanet program on pc receives and sends sms.

Credible source, or random speculation?

What do Nexus owner's have now? Sexiness, developer support? We still get Froyo first - but not as "first" as people thought.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I'm trying to figure out why you're upset? Because EVO is going to get 2.2?

Exactly what OS would you propose the EVO get? Are all devices supposed to sit at 2.1 and the Nexus only get upgrades?

The Nexus gets it first, I'm thrilled, and it's all a Nexus owner can hope for.

I'm glad the EVO will launch with 2.2. I want to see Android do well, HTC too.

Oh, and what do I have now? The best mobile device I've ever owned, that's what.:)
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I'm not upset lol, I included the last part in order to cause frustration among people who thought the Nexus was going to get updated months before the Incredible, Evo, and other Android devices. Google is slowly stopping fragmentation though, and we only know that the Evo is possibly getting it so soon.

In order to start conversation, you must include controversial, irritable, or suspicious questions. People start to talk then..

People were using Froyo coming to us quickly as an excuse to not get the Incredible, or Evo - that can't be used for long.
[Nexus One General] xzr3b0rnzx:
very sad.... rooted nexus one can't get update for froyo even if u revert back to original stock rom ... right ?? i am very sad lol
[Nexus One General] MrCDWJR:
dont be sad because even though you wont get the actual OTA someone who did might be kind enough to post it. root or not rooted users will both end up with the update. the only difference will be how you get it.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Nah, the stock 2.2 rom may very well be available to flash before the unmodded guys get the ota. You're not going to miss out on anything so no worries.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
XDA will see it before EVO ;)
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
A) No, ozcarguide is NOT a credible source. I have my news Widget set to check for "Android" and ozcarguide often pops up with news posts that are totally garbage.

Basic rule of thumb: don't trust lesser-known websites that post articles and don't have comments. If they don't have comments, that means the site isn't popular enough and may just be filled with BS in order to get page views. Also, don't trust news "articles" that are 2-3 paragraphs long.

B) I too don't understand why you're upset. Android has been absolutely blasted by every news source on the internet for fragmentation issues.

Google's goal is now (or should be to quiet people down) to have every SINGLE device running 2.2 the day it's released.

C) Stock Android devices will get 2.2 working MUCH earlier than Sense UI devices. Even if the article is true (which I'm betting it's not), it only says the Evo 4G will receive 2.2 "second". Nowhere does it give a specific time frame aside from "the same month" it's released.

2.2 could come out June 1st for the N1 and hit the Evo on June 30th. And remember, the June release for the Evo is still rumor at best.

D) Like galaxys posted, the N1 will be running 2.2 within minutes of it being released (or leaked) ;)
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
You did notice I said I wasn't upset it like the third post?

I know that Stock Google Experience devices (as I have started calling then instead of Vanilla) will get Android first, that is obvious.. it kinda irritates me when people explain things that are already blatantly obvious to me in the first place, I honestly don't know why I posted this myself considering how sad the site looks.

Though, if it was true (which I think was my point), then the Nexus having Froyo quicker than other devices won't matter regardless since they will be getting it hypothetically in the same time frame. Even if we get it a few weeks earlier than everyone else, I wanted to make it known that the Nexus will not be necessarily the only "next gen" Android device that will feature Froyo in a timely manner. Putting statements such as "I will be laughing at you as you're waiting months for the Incredible to be finally updated" to shame. Which I have heard, here as well, trying to make it as if he Nexus is better the other Android devices because it can get updates more quickly. This is all hypothetical of course.
[Nexus One General] mythamp:
guys, cant believe you never checked this Sticky Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I don't understand why people get upset when more devices come out. my nexus is just as solidly built and beautiful looking no matter what comes out next. incredible? looks worse, same specs. this is Google's phone until Google releases the next "Google phone", and that isn't the evo or incredible or desire. nexus one is the top dog, flagship phone until the nexus 2 is released. so enjoy your phone in the present!
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Its an operating system update on a mobile phone. No one is getting laid because they got froyo first. Supermodels will not fall all over themselves when you show them your about screen. If others else gets it soon or at the same time, I say more power to them.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
No, sweetie, that's called trolling. Adults don't start discussions that way.
[Nexus One General] wimbet:
Not a reliable source and just speculation. I would say Droid gets 2.2 same time as N1 since Google is using both as dev phones and they both run stock.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I was confused as to why you said that in the OP, and then later on said otherwise.

I tend to agree...
[Nexus One General] smot13:
That's not true. My wife gets all hot and bothered when I geek out on her. ;)
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Labor day is sept isnt ?

That evo is taking that long to launch ?? Good lord.

Im glad Android experiences will be similar across all devices. Stupid sense UI slowing things down for other phones.

Only thing to be excited about is flash though. Ram and Colorballs etc is already on custom ROMS. I did like the "always update" on market apps.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah but those of us who haven't rooted yet get lots of goodies. Colorball will be new for me :)

I personally will not use the always update option. Some of my apps work perfect and I've been burned before by updating and it either breaking the app, or it takes a feature I love away. Now I backup using astro and wait to see what the update entails.
