bruce_wayne...someone said ""The grass is green ot the other side".

I have N900 and Samsung Galaxy S.

Android and N900-Maemo5 have advantages and disatvantages. The right choise depend ot what you need from device.

I am user that don't have ability to make program, but I like to install and use.

For me phone must be like mini computer but still lightweight.

For me the necessary thing is:

Good phone with video player capable to play Standart Definition video and play internet stream(HTTP).TV-out is welcome :-)

Software that I need is: Skype, ICQ and VNC client.

N900 disatvantages for me and my kind of work.

Weight!!!. Maemo5. Poor battery life-especially in 3G mode.

But.....N900 have nice contacts menager with Skype and ICQ accaunts.

Skype Video conversation. Diferent video player and codec pluging :-)

In Galaxy S. Nimbuzz ( or other program) substitute N900 integrated chat client. Program WYSE is good VNC client.

The only thing that missing is video Player with HTTP capabilities. I really want to watch my VLC stream.

So....everything depend of what do you want from phone.

If you have question about N900. Just Ask..I'm not Maemo5(N900) fanboy neither Android(Galaxy S) :-)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yervand:
Boot your phone into fastboot mode:

1. Power phone off

2. Hold Back key and power phone on
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] criskrzysiu:
it says 32a but is it normal that i have 196 ram?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tafla:
yes, you have 32A. the rest of memory is reserved.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
yes its normal. the other memory you cant see since is reserved for the Operating system :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] oshizzle1991:
lol i think if it says "32a" you have a 32a device...come on man. common sense....

I have the HTC HD mini how to install and activate the sense I can not find anywhere else ?:confused::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] mideel:
what are you talking about dude? :D Sense is activated by default. Dont think you start up your (new I suppose) phone and the only thing it shows you is the win mobile 6.5 standard layout.. but just in case.. start --> settings -> personal -> today / home -> Items. There you should find it.
[General Questions and Answers] logo123:
Press Options and do not do not open why?
[General Questions and Answers] Purple Drama Llama:
Does the mini have sense 2.5?
[General Questions and Answers] logo123:
maybe someone can explain how to install a new user interface?
[General Questions and Answers] logo123:
:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Badwolve1:
It would seem your mini is corrupted, try a Hard reset, that should fix it. the settings in the start menu link to HTC sense, which appears to be broked (:o)

Please say if it works
[General Questions and Answers] logo123:
does not work after hard reset

HTC sense does not hold adjustment ITS why? :confused:

sorry for English language

It would seem your Rom is corupted, send back under warrantee
[P3600 General] Franky32:
Hi there XDA ppl :)

I have a HTC P3600 Trinity, the problems that i have with it is that the bluetooth wont work properly. When i start it and try to connect to a pc, it finds the pc but it fails to connect to it, the same for other phones. I managed to send one file to a Nokia E71, but was not able to be found by that phone when it searched for me.

I configured the bluetooth to be visible, and i made sure that receive all incoming beams was selected.

I have Radio Version 1.56.70.11

ROM Version: WM 6.5 SSD Blue(8) 24001 by The.Decoy

I changed the radio ROM with 1.50 and it still didn`t work. Changed the ROM a couple of times... Same result.

Any chance someone could help me?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnild:
With so many windows phones from HTC (Touch HD, Touch Pro, HD2) having Android builds for them and have shown they can run Android on these systems, I was wondering if you think its worth for someone with knowledge to try and port the Windows Phone 7 builds on Xperia X10 ?

Prima facie, it has the necessary hardware requirements such as three buttons, 1 GHz processor, enough RAM etc !!!

What do you think and will anyone be interested in trying ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvchetan:
i think win 7 requires 512 mb ram.. x10 has only 384.. :(

nd why would u want wm7 on x10 either.. seems wm7 is turning out to be pure crap!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raundown:
Too early for speculation
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
Why not buying an Windows 7 phone ... why the hell somebody will put such an ugly OS on the wonderful X10?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoss_n2:
it only needs 256 as ms said not 512
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beanyness:
WP7 looked really nice at first. But Microsoft have gone too far with the nazi-like apple control. It's way too locked down, phones wont even have memory card slots.

Dont support these types of OS and behavior people, it's not the way forward.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StripLV:
i piss in my pants! Thats a good one! never heard it! ( i am from Germany and NO nazi!)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StripLV:
Not 100% sure. i did read both: that they do not allow card slots and that phones come out with one. (i think i read it with a DELL phone anywhere in the www 1 week ago)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamefaker:
Is this possible? 'cause i would like to play around with something new for our x10 :p

If someone can validate the possibility in doing so,then i will try to work on this.

Sincerely Flame
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalundone:
Possible? Yeah, it's definitely possible. The X10 shares the same QSD8250 and Adreno 200 that the HD2 has (that has a port of WP7). But other than that, I don't think anyone really has the motivation to do the immense work that would be required to get WP7 running on the X10 (driver issues as there isn't similar enough hardware that's running WP7 as the X10)... not to mention that the bypass method may not be enough (I may be wrong as they've gotten Backtrack and Win95 running, lol)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamefaker:
ok thanks for the information undone i will pm some devs and hope they write me back. at least this would make a little bit more fun than watching all those threads getting some new roms upped :p

and this could also help us to improve our devices :D

Edit: seems as if this will be for now a one man Show. :D

I suppose it can be done I had windows 95 on mine at one point for a laugh (its somewhere on here how to do it). Although not sure bout win 7 thinking bout it it uses some serious RAM, something our dear phones lack. :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtblittlebrown:
Let's be realistic this will probably never happen. And why would someone waste time porting wp7 os to our x10 . If you want wp7 os get a win7phone.
[Desire General] O and O:
Which of these applications manages your contacts, their pictures and status updates? I removed the HTC Sense variation and now I have lost my Facebook content BUT when I click to add the generic Facebook logo it doesn't do anything but flash green ... any ideas?
[Desire General] Gana1991:
As far as I'm aware, I think the HTC Sense version manages your contacts. When I (painstakingly!) added all my contacts in, I had the option of linking it to their Facebook content via 'Facebook for HTC Sense.
[Desire General] O and O:
so no actual need for the generic option? will give it a try again.

I removed it as contacts were not being updated and I had all my FB contacts rather than just the linked ones ...

Ok just wondering if there is a list that tells you what manila file is for what etc like the name of the file and tells you what it changes, I often like to just change random things and sometimes i don't no which file is which, i have manila editor but sometimes its hard to go through 3 thousand files lol :p

if not thinking about compiling a list

holy moly i been on there and missed it thanks matey :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yervand:
I originally started this topic with this:

BUT I figured that I could as well just get some kind of application in order to get read of the pre-installed applications?! If there is such application (best if free, but if my best option is to pay for it then it is fine), then could you guys just tell it to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Why would you need to remove apps that you won't use just because you won't use them :confused: I mean...Browser...why would you remove it ? To regain space on /system? Well then we go for another question...why would you need more space on system partition ? Also removing some apps like Browser can disable some other apps that depend on them. You can of course do it really easily just by extracting the zip file, removing apps don't need, ziping all the files you extracted and then signing the zip file. But I still don't get it :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Well all you have to do is before you wipe and flash the rom. Unzip it. Remove all the apps you dont want, then rezip and resign it. Then flash it. Simple yet effective :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
Alarm Clock, Browser, Email...

Wow...you might aswell use Bell's phone instead. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Graham_Bell)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Adamsville MITM:
*dies*

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yervand:
You are so funny, did you try being a comedian?

It is not even about the space they take mb-wise. They take up space in menu. I don't need Browser because I use Opera, I don't need an Alarm Clock because I am using another program for my alarms, and so on. Now that I have like 40 applications and half of them are the original 20 it is hard to navigate, hard to find them, and take a long time to do it too. You see what I mean?

It would even work if I could simply remove a shortcut out of the menu. I don't care for it staying installed in my phone. I just want it out of the menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
I did and guess what - they loved me.

Advanced launcher does that - hides them from the menu.

Why don't you just put them on your home screens, order them nicely..use folders..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yervand:
I got a reason to ask for what I am asking for. Trust me before I posted this topic I tried all ways to go around it!

Perfect application! Does what I need and more! Accept I am facing one problem. I created a couple of folders and I can't add shortcuts inside now... For example if I were to create a regular folder on home screen, then I would enter it and click on "menu" button and then click "add". Problem with the folders in the launcher is that when I enter them the "add" button is grayed out.

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] r0man:
...

Unzip the ROM, replace the Launcher.apk with Advanced Launcher's, sign and flash.

Or just download the 1.6 version from the market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
You can just drag and drop icons into folders..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
this is not development this is general!

jesus christ already

plus u never have used a root explorer?"?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yervand:
Nope... When I grab an icon and try to drop it in a folder my whole launcher is being moved as if I was scrolling it... and then if I grab and hold it long enough then that gets my launcher minimized and sends me to my home screen so that I can drop it on my home screen.

Nope... I don't even know what it is. What is it and how can it help me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You could simply just move everything you want to see onto the home screen and ignore the rest by not bringing up the launcher.

Or you can use slidescreen pro, and set only your desired apps on the top 2 rows.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Sounds almost like you want Android: Preschool Edition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
you can remove apps with root explorer by browsing to the app folder and deleting them from there..

you can also delete them via terminal by these commands...

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/app/NAMEOFAPP

and replace NAMEOFAPP with the name of app you want to remove

search harder next time young padawan ... a quick google of "remove stock apps from android" returned heaps of results...
[Desire General] profet:
I know a lot of people have had issues with the quality of the earpiece speaker, but I can't find anything that matches my experience.

A few data ago, during calls, the earpiece started to crackle really badly - especially at higher volumes. its almost as though the speaker has blown. I tried a trick that worked in my old Nokia n95 and blew and then sucked really hard over the earpiece and this actually fixed the problem for about 5 minutes. Has anyone else had this issue? I guess my phone will have to go back.
[Desire General] profet:
I take it its just me then...
[Desire General] xxnoelziexx:
I would send it back, I had mine for two days and the poor quality coming from the ear piece I sent it back. I am now looking at a different phone and there isn't much out there.
[Desire General] zapbrannigan00:
Got exact same problem on mine - dont know whether to send it back, cured it by turning the volume down. Its almost if the phone drives the speaker too loudly for what it can handle...
[Desire General] VVV850:
Have the same problem. I think it's the speaker cloth that is touching the speaker itself.

If the problem persists I will send it back.

[Desire General] SuppleX:
Hi guys,

Getting a bit annoyed about a problem i have since i rooted the phone. Had the full version installed of SlideIT, rooted my phone, tried to install SlideIT again but got the error "application not installed".

Tried a rew recoveries and even unrooting the phone but still no succes. Completely wiped everything and gave it another shot, without succes.

Have tried to install it tru ADB but the only message i get from it is "pm: not found"

Funny enough i can install SlideIT lite but that doesn't solve this problem. Also i'm quite worried this will happen more often and without a possible fix this is going to be a pain in the behind...

Is there someone in here that knows how to fix this problem? Or could give me some tips to find out more about it?
[Desire General] SuppleX:
Post can be deleted, or possible used for other ppl that run into the same problem.

Problem found in incorrect filesignature, can be fixed by downloading another version or throwing away your old files. ;)

[Desire General] harvey007:
Hi,

In the past I always had one common problem with my previous phones (palm treo's) and that is with the 3.5mm jack. Apparently I found out that this is a hardware issue by fixing it myself. The metal (copper, apparently malleable) that's supposed to bend back to its original position whenever you disconnect your 3.5mm plug never did. So I bent it back and it fixed everything. Of course it voided my warranty but at least I didn't have to wait for weeks.

Right now I'm thinking twice about plugging in headphones on my desire. I'm not sure if it got the same old crap inside. Maybe someone here knows if the headphone jack is now dependable?

Thanks!
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I've opened my phone to fix some buttons and i got to say...the headphone jack just looks pretty standard to me...

I have no idea of how to use this..

There are hits everywhere and technical articles on what xda-uc does.. but..

I don't see anything on HOW TO MAKE the files necessary for this program to do what it's supposed to do.

Energy is great.. love the rom..

he just build a new EXPORTER tool which exports alot of settings.

SO.. i have some reg settings i want to apply EVERY TIME.. i know the settings.. i know where they are and what they do.. now.. how do i MAKE a file in this xda_uc folder on my storage card? do i just open up notepad on my windows desktop and save it as a .reg file?

what about email accounts? how do i auto configure them every time i flash?

i know to put cabs in the folder or the SD subfolder if i want control over where they get installed.. and thats about all i know.

what about ringtones? notification tones? how do i auto configure them?

I intend to roll out the htc hd 2 to my staff however I don't them to be messing with social apps that comes with... Is there any chance these apps can be removed?
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
be a nice boss.. let them keep the apps.. i'm sure they would be responsible enough to play it only on their breaks....lol

but yea.. there is no way..... technically... lol... if you download a registry editor.. you can remove the file shortcut and all other associated files.. to remove from the phone's memory... but even if your employee's aren't the "brightest"... it wouldn't take a full fledged developer to know that all you would have to do.. is perform a hard reset on the phone and "voila" apps have reappeared...

lol so yea.. in other words.. NO there is no way to remove those apps considering that they are embedded into the rom...

i guess you could flash a custom rom that doesn't have those apps installed.. but i'm pretty confident that no one is offering a custom rom like that... now you can always become a "cehf" and create your own custom rom.. but then it gets to the point where "common sense" starts kicking in... and you kinda realize that removing the apps is way more trouble and time consuming as opposed to just "trusting" your own employees to be responsible....(not quite sure why you wouldn't have responsible employees.... right??.... :rolleyes:)

so yea.. in conclusion.. just be a nice guy/boss and give them the hd2 in its full working stock condition... just tell them that you don't want them on the apps during work hours... i think that's easier.. but yea.. sorry for not exactly helping your situation or what you asked.. ..
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
the problem with removing them is they can be just installed again lol, i guess you could just not let them have data connections, or just trust them and say it will be taken off you if you get caught on them ;)

So if my phone is operating in GPRS mode, until it decides it doesn't need the internet anymore and disconnects, it won't retrieve texts... right. So any workarounds or fixes for this?
