Tell AT&T that you changed your phone. They will need your phones IMEI number activated on their side. BTW, make sure you have smartphone data plan if you want the full featured browsing, etc. I don't know if regular data plan works on x10a (mine didn't.. I use to have blackberry which also has 3g/edge but doesn't support full featured browsing, etc.)

Check your phone info service by pressing these buttons in sequence (L = Left, R = Right): L - R - R - L - R - L - L - R

Check Model Info. If it says ( X10a, Generic GLOBAL, Generic ) use the Auto Internet settings in your phone. If it says ( X10a, Canada, Rogers ) use the Sony Ericsson OTA wizard -- (sonyericsson(dot)com/ota/wxhtml/otawizard)

Hope that helps.

I have uploaded a copy of my MMS settings per your request. If you have the chance, head over to X10 development forum, and take a look at the x10 Rooting Guide. I think rooting your phone can also help you debrand it.

my main ubertips are..

replace stock music player for 3 (cubed)

replace stock texting for handcent

get the 3d gallery apk

get xiialive lite

get beamwidgets torch widget apk

use the stock Power Control widget

install the voice to text with keyboard apk (post #38)

install the text to speech updates (TTS Extended) from the market (goes on ur SD card :)

install google translate which utilises the above ;)

get hypnotic spiral & new scientist apps :D

additions:

looking for a remote control for your PC?

MultiRemote works fast & functional with your mouse & VLC, winamp etc (also custom)

be sure to check out the accelerometer mouse control :D

Snowstorm weather widget works brilliantly here, I was sick of the stock weather app that tells me if it sunny now or raining, but to get a forecast was like getting water from a stone. This app uses a good data source and works very very well for all conditions.

Replace the stock keyboard with the HTC_IME modded keyboard, its the same but 10,000 times better ;)

and last but not least..

definitely get AppBrain to replace the standard market app (and post ur complete applist HERE in this thread c'mon!)

anyone else got some killer apps or stock replacements include here in this thread

How do I go about getting the music player (cubed) I cant seem to find it on the market....
[Desire General] watercool:
Search for abrantes might help
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Worked out how to get the music player app, have to go through appbrain. My first thoughts using it were wow. It is such a nice music player and it'l even find your album art for you (which I have seen there are paid apps on the market for but this includes it free). The whole interface is very nice and I would definatly recommend it. Nice find OP.

thanks for sharing
[Desire General] Matt2887:
I have installed this keyboard but cant seem to set it as the default one to use. How do I do that. Under settings and keyboard I dont see the option for Swype. There are swpye settings but I cant choose the swype keyboard as the one to use.
[Desire General] watercool:
long click in an input field (f.e. browser), then you may choose swype? try that
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Excellent, thanks.
[Desire General] harnyuk:
great thread will try out a few
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Not sure if I like Swype yet or not. It is kinda hard to type sometimes because it doesn't seem to pick up words, and it's really slow on manually typing. I can't type "still" on it! lol. Comes up as "Stol" Wtf is stol? Think I may be going back to the normal keyboard. This is a pretty good list though! Thanks! I had some of them, and added a few new ones too.
[Desire General] oursoul:
My pleasure guys, I love sourcing top notch soft/freeware so its only fair to spread the word.

I liked the idea behind Swype, it really works so technically I'm absolutely astounded by it. But I like to type the word, it just didn't feel comfortable for me to swipe the word. So I'm back to the stock keyboard with haptic feedback for now till something better comes along.
[Desire General] khaytsus:
Look on the Swype website, they have videos on there on how to use it effectively.

For double-letters you basically circle the letter, or simply go out and return.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
Well, I am going to keep Swype on there for now. No harm in having options for input methods. Will play around with it here and there and see how it goes.
[Desire General] ferus:
My little tip - don't install the Playlist Alarm app. It will keep the phone in PartialWake state 100% of time (checked with the battery usage tool) and the result is very poor battery life.

I was charging every day and was starting to worry about the battery quality.

However, once I uninstalled it my battery life increased dramatically.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Thank you very much for the advise! I would give you my advise, but I don't think it would help anybody since the Desire is my first Android phone and I have had it for a few days.

Keep the good tips coming!
[Desire General] Pume:
Instead of Swype consider using SlideIT keyboard. IMO a lot better and with multi-language support, which, at least for me as a Finnish citizen, is very important. Can be found from Android market as well.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
I saw that there are now a few Swype replacements out there, but not sure I am into it enough to even bother getting them. lol
[Desire General] khaytsus:
IMO Swype is pretty useless unless you're standing pretty still and have a good control over the phone. If you're walking or even sitting in a car (NOT DRIVING!) and reaching out to a window cradle, it's impossible to 'type' with Swype.

Maybe it's just me.. But I prefer tapping in most cases. However, again for me, if I'm sitting and the phone is steady I can 'type' pretty fast with Swype. But not enough to warrant having it around all the time.

I am really looking forward to TouchPal coming to Android. They put out a half-ass version for QVGA or something a while back and it's since disappeared. I can type really well on it regardless of the situation.
[Desire General] oursoul:

Today I replaced my stock keyboard with the HTC_IME mod.. its a lot better, great to have access to custom smileys and having 4 swipe shortcuts is wicked, now I have quick access to the lovey dovey YM emotes hehe :">

I also set swipe up = to end of text, swipe left = delete last word, swipe right = delete last sentence and swipe down = hide keyboard.

Enjoy.
[Desire General] CorruptedSanity:
wow sounds great. Thanks for the tip.

Mind telling us how to install it on our Desire?

That thread is super complicated (to me).

thanks
[Desire General] oursoul:
for desire owners:

*download and unzip

*copy the HTC_IME.apk file to your memory stick in the phone

*have ES file manager installed from the market

*find the HRC_IME.apk file and select it, install

*go to menu, settings, language & keyboard

*select the HTC_IME mod (make sure its ticked)

*have a look through the settings, for instance to activate the quick emotes and set the swipe shortcuts

*then on any input field long press and select HTC_IMO mod as your input method

[Desire General] JagSem:
Superb thread, good list of apps. Took up Xiialive and gps so far, both excellent.

Installed AppBrain to search and install HandcentSMS and was taken to Market where it could not be found. Infact, AppBrain wouldn't allow me to install anything unless it was through Market. I used both Internet and Opera to search, click and install apps with no progress. When I went to the applist in the browser and the AppBrain app all it had was 'cancel install' with nothing dl'ing or installing.

Anyone shed any light on this?

[G1 General] Tynen:

[G1 General] Ninjineer:
If you follow the directions, it's hard to brick. With your current ROM, you already have DangerSPL and a compatible radio installed. All you would have to do with flash the CM 5.0.7 Test 5 zip and then the Google Addon and let it boot. If you get force closes, simply wipe, reinstall both zips and run fix_permissions in console.

You know you wanna :D
[G1 General] Tynen:

You will be glad to know that you tempted me enough. I've successfully flashed DangerSPL onto my G1 and Cyanogen 5.0.7 test 5! :)
[Droid Incredible General] AndroidConvert:
I just graduated from a Blackberry to the HTC Incredible. After a few days of use and way too much forum browsing, I still have a few issues that I cannot resolve. Please help if you know of any solutions!

1. PHONE: If I dial one of my local contacts and do not include the area code, the call log labels the call as UNKNOWN. This is somewhat frustrating as every phone that I've ever owned was sophisticated enough to known that I'm dialing a known contact even if the area code is not included.

2. CONTACT SYNC: I synced my Blackberry with Outlook. I had no problem getting all of my contacts into the Incredible, but now I want to sync them with Google Contacts and ditch Outlook. I cannot change the PC Sync label on each contact in my phone though, and I'm not even sure if it has anything to do with it.

3. CALENDAR RECURRENCE: I often need to enter meetings to repeat on multiple days of the week. For instance, I may have a review meeting every Tuesday and Thursday. Is there a calendar app that has the capability of recurrence in this manner? I know this is a popular problem, but I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution. It seems insane to have to enter these types of recurrences through Google Calendar to have them sync with the phone properly.

4. MAIL: If I setup my "native" or default google account in the HTC mail app, it syncs with IMAP to get all of the existing mail. HOWEVER, it will not show any new mail that comes in. I have unchecked the sync with the Gmail App ( I cannot remove the account from the Gmail App), but no matter what I do, I cannot get new mail in HTC Mail. Each time I try removing the account from HTC and setting it up again, the new mail shows up, but nothing new from then on.

5. POPUP NOTIFICATIONS: I love the notifications that I get in the status bar for new mail or text messages. Is there anything that I can use to have these notifications popup in a new window on my screen?

Please help! This is an awesome phone, but it just seems that some of the "basics" are missing.
[Droid Incredible General] elbebo:
Not sure about the rest but you can use Handcent for SMS Pop-ups. Just disable the regular notifications in the stock SMS app or else you'll get multiple notifications.
[Droid Incredible General] Grikshanks:
Like he said, handcent will give you a popup window, but dont confuse it for a window in the traditional Windows sense, you have to dismiss it to be able to do anything else after the sms arrives, you cant move it around or anything like that. If youre looking for like a widget to automatically view it, the stock widget seems to work fine.

The contacts issue drives me slightly insane as well, but it is a purely htc problem. All my contacts were formatted as 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx due to occasionally issues with needing 1 before the number, different area codes, etc. They worked just fine on the droid and synced right up to my google account. After pulling them to the incredible from my account they stay formatted like that, but apparently thats not good enough for htc. Its pretty tough to figure out how they want a number formatted, when a call is incoming it shows xxxxxxxxxx, in the contacts list it still shows it as 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx, and depending on the day, time, or weather it seems, the phone may or may not show the contacts name, or just unknown. Its pretty frustrating, to say the least, and I wish there was at least a easy to find guideline on how the contact list works so if i felt like going through and changing contacts, I could.

If you uncheck mail sync with the google account it wont automatically update your mail. Have you tried opening the gmail app, menu then refresh?

Anyway most of your problems stem from the Sense UI, which, although nice in some respects, falls well short of the mark in others. Unfortunately at this time there is no way to remove it until someone succeeds in rooting the phone and unlocking all the partitions. Given the problems devs had with the eris and the level of protection HTC built into the incredible, It may be quite a while until we can get a different rom on the phone.

Well Hello Fellows...

As u ppls can see on my Sig...i just returned my Htc G1 due to some keyboard issue..and i m ready to do some nasty work for my TP2 :D but i need some answers before doing something with my TP2..

1st-- y we need some custom rom like 6.5.5...while we are already getting everything on the stock rom..and custom roms are same as stock rom some of the difference that the apps tab icons are big(as i am seeing on Custom Rom )<---- Prove me if i m wrong about it:)

2nd-- i m sooooooo exited to see android on HP2 and i really appreciate the hard work of the developers but i will wait till complete rom comes out ...and my main cause was to buy that machine is to use android on it but i need some user experience.....

3-- i want to know that difference between dual boot ..

3a --- as i saw that a dev created an app that we can directly boot android when we turn on the phone without booting in to WM...

3b---other is that 1st we need to turn on windows mobile then android ...

4--i will ask later when i get my other answers:rolleyes:

i want to know which process is best like which process drain minimum battery and run android kinda normal speed...i know that its not that fast but come on ..

these are the main ques that are like dancing all time in my mind..Plz ignore my dictionary and answer my ques

ThankYou..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] autonomous-inc:
1. Different ROMs provide different experiences. For instance, the 6.5.x ROMs have a more finger-friendly navigation altogether, with the Windows Start button being at the bottom of the screen instead of the top.

Different ROMs will also give you different benefits. NRGZ ROM comes cooked with a radio app that doesn't need headphones (but of course, if you have a CDMA TP2, you won't have a radio to begin with). Deep Shine ROM makes the most of the Zoom Bar down at the bottom of the screen of your TP2. And Valkyrie's ROMs (the one I use) provides the most stability.

Note though that 6.5.x ROMs tend to be slower than most stock-ROMs.

2. You should just try Android for yourself. In my experience, Android was good. I actually downloaded the Facebook app with it, right after I downloaded the Facebook app for WinMo. So it was funny to see those two updates on my Facebook.

Regardless, sound doesn't work, and Camera doesn't work. When those two functions work, I myself will probably be using Android more than WinMo. I don't care much about BT. Look in the Android section of this sub-forum, find out for yourself.

3. Dual-boot simply allows you to boot one operating system first. So say you didn't want to boot WinMo first, then Android, the dev's app allows your to just boot Android first before WinMo. Simple as that.

Ask anything else, but take a look around first.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jamb:
thanks buddy for your quick reply

well i have Vodafone Tp2..idk that is Cdma or not right now i using stock rom for windows mobile 6.5.5..that what the device says it have Sense UI i think TF3d 2.5...so i saw not much difference between my stock rom and the custom rom..and for the android ques well i was asking that which way is better ot use android like i think if i boot throught windows mobile then windows mobile will also take some ram else if i directly turn on android then android will use all the ram.and atleast runs better for this direct process and drain less battery....thats what i think and well i watched alot of videos and surfing web for this like 2weeks before asking these ques....

4---well for some games i want to use fpecse emulator...so any way to overclock the tp2..becoz i saw some of the videos of the emulator on Hd2 .. it runs the game pretty smooth...

5--App2SD..well can we use ap2sd on TP2 while using android??:) <---Dump ques
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] autonomous-inc:
4. There isn't a way (yet) to overclock your TP2. Oddly enough, Android on the TP2 is overclocked. But overclocking it via WinMo isn't possible as of current.

Regardless, playing certain games on FPSCE like FF7 works just fine. The more graphically enhanced the game is, the more the phone will lag. Every game I've loaded onto my phone (including the graphically beautiful Call of Duty 2) has worked just fine. Certain games are only in VGA, so download the WVGA fix (it's located in the "Programs to Download for your TP2" thread in the sub-section "Themes and Apps").

5. I wouldn't know about that, but if you want to put programs on your SD card, I believe they have a fix for that in the Android programs already. So, see that thread in "Android Development."
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jamb:
thanks mate for your quick reply .. well what about ram consuming?? speed effects.. direct android boot or android through windmo??

Hello :)

I'm new to this forums, and I don't know where exactly to post this, so if it's wrong please move where it fits better :P

(Im spanish, sorry my english)

Well, I've an Acer F900 Mobile phone, and I like to watch online videos.

My phone brings an application called "Streaming Player" that allows me to watch streaming videos if they are from an RTSP:// protocol.

And It's very usefull, but I want to know if I could do something so when I click on a .3gp file (from Opera Mobile for example, or ie pocket) it opens there too.

It already does this but ONLY if 3gp file is under RTSP protocol. If the 3gp file is like: htt p:// .... .3gp it only allows me to "Download" the file not to "Open" in my streaming APP :)

Any idea ?

Sorry another time for my english :(

If you don't understand please tell me, I'll try to explain myself better.

Hi,

Some time ago I installed "Kenteken Informatie" (from Rajen_Joris) through Market Place. I think I used the grzegorz10 rom at that time, but i'm not really sure.

After that I flashed to the maryone rom and tried again to install "Kenteken Informatie" from Market Place (from the My Applications list). But now the installer fails without a usefull message (only 'install failed').

And if I search on Market Place, I can't find the program anymore, although it's still in "My Applications" as purchased.

Does anybody have a cab installer (or just the nessecary files) for this program or perhaps a way to be able to install it again from Market Place?
