Well I have to say I loved the LED flashlight on the HD2. The app looked like a maglite type flashlight and you rotated the head to get 3 different intensity settings. It was brighter than the sun. Besides being very useful I loved showing it off to people. I immediately looked for it on the Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] wildcard:
Sorry to jack the thread... why did you abandon the HD2 and what do you think of the Droid Incredible compared to the HD2 ?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Sweeny Russ:
I still have an hd2 and the screen feels very small on the incredible by comparison. Also the hd2 did get smudged on the screen like the incredible. The incredible is much faster, simply because Android is much more fluid, but I do miss the customization of the hd2 and the fact that it has hspl. Oh I don't like this rom this week, maybe I'll try this one. I don't like this font this etc....

But windows mobile is buggy at times no matter what rom you run. Verizon is much better than tmo though so incredible is the winner for me.

Back to the point, we need an led flash light app, don't care if it burns up internals, I've got insurance. I guess around the time root is achieved.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
The HD2 kept freezing on me. There was a known issue with the Sense/T-mobile firmware but I had to find it out from HTC because no one at T-mobile seemed to have a clue. I had no time left on my trial period to wait for the fix so I went to Verizon and got the HD2. I miss the big screen but the HD2 did seem a bit heavy and bulky. Also the Incredible screen is almost impossible to see in bright light. Android seems like a step up although I was enjoying all the customizing I could do on the HD2. I have one week left if I want to change again but I will probably stick. Not seeing the screen in daylight is the biggest negative for me.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] aol8mydog:
Not to be argumentative (I'll surely be using an LED flashlight app as soon as one is made) but 2 minutes could easily be enough time to cause damage - depending upon the phone model. All in all, it really depends on the internal heatsink. Each heatsink is rated by how many watts of heat it can dissipate. Using formulas and blah blah blah, the heatsink is designed to keep the LED's junction temperature below something like 135 degrees C (if the LEDs are Luxeon brand). In this case, not much of a heatsink is required since the LEDs are only used as a camera flash. Because these phones are getting thinner and thinner, there's no reason for HTC to include a heatsink larger than it needs to be.

According to TechRestore's video disassembling the Incredible, the heatsink doesn't look very big and, not only that, it appears the LED's heat transfer pads simply rest on the heatsink rather than applied to it with thermal paste or adhesive. That doesn't allow for the most efficient dissipation of heat.

Worse yet, even if the heatsink is rated to dissipate enough heat to keep the LED's junction temperature cool enough, the components surrounding the heatsink may be affected by the increased ambient temperature around the heatsink.

But... the only way we'll know for sure is to try it and see if the LEDs burn out, the phone gets too hot, or some other adverse reaction. Good luck to anyone who tests the limits once this app is available.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
Thanks for that good info aol8mydog. I'll don't think I will be rushing to try the LED app. I hope this thread stays open long enough for some posts from those who do though.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
Perhaps a different type of LED?? The Omnia had settings to turn in on from 20, 40, or 60 seconds, or 2 or 5 minutes. I had it set to 2 mins.

Note that this was built into the OS, not an add-on so other than burning up your battery, it it wasn't going to damage the unit.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] yenomonpro:
It looks like a developer for the desire has made a led light app. In one of the post he stated that it didn't have to be rooted.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rfarrah:
Would you care to post a Link?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
I've been using one of the screen flashlight apps- flashlight option plugin. I can't impress people so much but its bright enuff. With the leds I could temporarily blind an assailant.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] hawkye:
I just bought my Incredible last week and have been searching for a way to use the LED lights. I have been using the screen flashlights but they all suck. It looks like a LED light app was finally posted today. I just bought it for 99 cents. It lights up nice and bright just as bright as my pen LED flashlight. The only issue is the only way to turn off the LEDs is to hit the power button then you have to reboot the phone to regain camera functionality. Still a nice to have when I need more light than just the screen can provide me. It is really bright!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rfarrah:
Fail...... Sorry.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] qwho:
Actually it is in the market, 'Incredible LED Flashlight'

There are pics where the screen shots should be, of what looks like the light actually on...

So, who is going to buy it for a dollar?

Edit, i watched the dev's youtube video demonstration... it is just like the previous poster said, he can't figure out how to turn off the app yet. Once he has that fixed i will definately buy the app for a dollar.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] two_cents:
is it worth a dollar now? or 5 dollars later? dam thats a hard decision... I might just donate a dollar now cause I see it actually works... I didn't use it much I only use it every once in a while but when I use it I use it for a few minutes at a time... I'll but it and keep you posted for when the update works properly I guess
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] qwho:
If this guy can do it, someone else will, and they will charge less.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] two_cents:
I see this guy making about 100 bucks for people who are willing to pay for his development and try and save a buck or 2... after it works properly I see this being a must have app for the Incredible
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] two_cents:
There has been an update

... Now it gives you the option to do amoled light or led... So if you dont need the power of the leds it will work fine as a screen light but still glitches from the leds

Flashlight app for droid incredible

Well, anyone who finds this page should be happy to know that the Droid Incredible now has a really good flashlight app, and it is free!

Comes as part of Android 2.2 Froyo

and works pretty well, has 3 brightness levels:

Partial SIngle LED power, Full Single LED power, and Dual LED power
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xardul:
Still a need for a solid LED flashlight app for custom ROMs...

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
Get extended controls from the market instead! The 'torch' widget option works on the Incredible as an LED flashlight wonderfully.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] vandykky:
I use lamppu because I like the on/off widget. Really easy but requires root.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
So as most of you know i managed to drop my phone in a glass of Tia Maria and Coke... I decided i'm going to take the plunge and attempt to fix it myself.

Decided the warranty would be void since i debranded it anyway. If i mess it up...insurance.

So to my question...when i open it up is there anything i can grab from say my local ASDA that i can use to clean away the sticky residue of whatever is left in there?

Only 3 buttons don't work (trackpad, search and vol down) and my headphones don't work. Everything else is spot on. But i want to fix it anyways.

Ideas?
[Desire General] abc27:
Just use contact cleaner like I told you in the last thread. Don't even attempt that distilled water thing that someone mentioned, it's guaranteed to destroy your device.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Ok what is contact cleaner again? Is it what you said you can get from Maplins?

EDIT: Ok yeah it's this gear. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=25340&C=Froogle&U=25340&T=Module

Pretty cheap too. Might be a while before i can get to my nearest Maplins though!
[Desire General] tuntang:
I know this is probably a stupid question but...

I've already used the gold card process to flash away my horrific orange ROM and replace it with PaulB's HTC generic. Apart from a few issues not worth going into it works like a dream.

As someone that wont be doing any benefit, why do i need a root? how comes i cant just flash on new ROMs using the gold card method?
[Desire General] jayshah:
For one, we can't sign ROMs without HTCs keys thus the bootloader wouldn't accept them. Someone else will be able to expand more on this, I don't know too much.

Is the calibration you're talking about in the keyboard program or is it a stand alone setting on the Incredible? Thanks.

95% of the time when I push the slider to answer, I get no sound and the slider just sits there. The caller hears the phone ring until voice mail picks up. The issue is getting worse as time goes by. I am running the last ROM that Dutty built for it, Holy Grail something.

Any fixes for this besides re flashing it again?

I have changed at least 20 roms in my Htc touch 32B .But every Rom have different problems . Qtechnology Sense rom is best but bluetooth not works.Kings Roms are bogus too.One Rom from Dr ......actually could not found Rom bible today ,The Rom from Dr x.....is very good with bluetooth working fine.But its not sense ui.Is there any rom available which includes sense ui with working bluetooth.

Thanks in advance

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] johnafuna:
are we able to run apps from sd on touch pro 2? would cab installer work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
I"m not sure what you are asking, so here are two answers!

1. You can install FROM a microSD card.

2. You can usually pick where to install a program once the cab file executes. There are a small minority of programs that automatically install to the main memory.

I have my games and most of my utilities running from my SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Bully Dawg:
Same here. Also, there are a (very) few programs that need to be installed to the main memory to work properly. Usually, the creator of the program or app will advise you of thus, though.

If you use Microsoft Marketplace, you can set all apps to automatically install to SD card. But if the app needs to install to main memory, Marketplace will override your default save-to-storage-card!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] johnafuna:
thanks guys!!!
[Droid Incredible General] AndroidBruce:
I had my adb working with my Droid now when i try to enter

adb shell or adb remount

(Yes i have USB Debugging Enabled, and my sdk is added to my path)

this is what happens

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

error: insufficient permissions for device

not sure if this is because we don't have root. any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible General] ryoojin83:
you are unable to 'adb shell'?

I have shell access, but not remount.
[Droid Incredible General] AndroidBruce:
No I cannot get into shell
[Droid Incredible General] AndroidBruce:
I have found a fix.

Seems to be that i need to run adb usb as root in Linux.

so for me my path to my sdk is

~/Desktop/androidsdk/tools

so i have to run "sudo ~Desktop/androidsdk/tools/adb"

then adb shell works as does ddms for logcats and screenshots.
[Droid Incredible General] qwho:
cool, if adb is working then maybe I can install the old mail.apk on my incredible as a non-system app.
[Droid Incredible General] jrebeiro:
Hrmmm.... I don't need to use sudo on the mac or linux. What are the permissions on adb?

I have come to a point where I can no longer sit back and watch our system be bombarded with spam apps. It hurts android as a system and will be its downfall, open or not.

I sent tips to Gizmodo, Engadget, BGR, and all others that have can reach a large audience.

I for one am sick and tired of all the bull**** I see in the market. Open system or not, its getting out of hand. I can't be the only one fed up with the situation. To all android users please voice your hatred of people abusing the rules. Just because its not illegal does not make it ethical or allowable

These are a few links to help people realize how bad this problem is and how bad it will become.

Who cares if we have 50,000 apps and upwards of 15,000 are complete crap. There are 20 real offenders with about 1,000 apps each. 1,000!! each. Thats ridiculous.

Almost 50% of our applications do nothing. Absolutely nothing. I love my N! and have been an Android user since the G1. I have watched our open system is being abused and ransacked by idiots.

Anyone else fed up with this do something to fix it rather than sit back.

I know this is not so much about the N1 than it is Android in general, but I wanted people to see it and spread the word.

[Nexus One General] Raymond77:
I'd noticed a lot of reviews mentioning Pocket Empire, all across the Market, earlier today, it's a pain in the arse, and highlights the fact that you really can't read just a few comments left, and assume they'll be accurate.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Yes it is totally our of hand. The Pocket Empire developers have been encouraging their users to go to the market and download any and all Free apps they dont have to pay for. Then to leave feedback score of 5 for the unrelated app with a comment promoting their Pocket Empires and a referral code. So as well as the comments being BS so are the star ratings they are leaving, which do not reflect the underlying application.

Here are some threads discussing it.

Nexusone Stop spamming the Android Market Pocket Empire players

People advertise everywhere for "pocket empires"- can this spam be curtailed somehow?

How about all the people who were getting their knickers in a knot about the sentence "this message was not sent by tapatalk" sink their teeth into this one.

It is of far greater significance and has the potential to undermine the android market. The lack of action by google to date on this issue (ie not banning PE) suggests to me that they want the market to self regulate.

So lets get together and do something about this Pocket Empire mob.
[Nexus One General] scgolfer7:
Yeah the stupid spam comments about "join pocket empires and receive 100 credits" is really getting annoying, not to mention the complete random and totally useless apps that have been coming onto the market lately.
[Nexus One General] logger:
You can at least use appbrain as an alternative, because it filters out the vast majority of Spam apps. But it cannot filter all the PE Spam comments.
[Nexus One General] Sistum Id:
Well yesterday, the dev of Pocket Empires sent an ingame message out saying the following:

Seems like the dev is trying to put a stop to it at least for now.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Yes but they are just going through the motions of saying the right thing. Crying Crocodile Tears. How do you honestly think they are going to police their threat of one week bans?

If they were serious about it, they would

1) be telling their users to go back and undo the damage they have done. Which would involve removing spam comments left for other apps AND setting ratings stars to average.

2) removing the referral code system altogether, so that once they no longer can Spam the market they do not just move to every other forum know to man. Such as some smart arse adding a PE referral in this very thread which will no doubt happen soon enough.

I would really like to see Google pull PE from the market altogether for some time as a penalty. But probably wont happen as they want the market to self regulate.

POCKET EMPIRES = POX it must be eradicated
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Quick add me on pocket empire!

My code is 5p@m
[Nexus One General] logger:
I'll pay that one ;-)
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Yeah, I opened that thread over there. What bothers me the most is how easy it would it be for google to give us the tools to crush spam.

From where I see it, there are two distinct problems right now:

1) the spam apps (those by Michael Quach, Zeittman, etc).

The easy solution: allow the users to filter out specific words and developers. Then, if a given number of users filter out a developer, consider him "uninteresting" and relegate his apps to the bottom.

2) the PE spam in other apps and games.

The easy solution: if a given number of users report a given number of posts as spam (e.g. 50 individual users report 50 individual messages) consider them spam and filter out every message that is 90% similar to them (e.g. they have mostly the same words but the referral code changes).

These would be completely automatic and would require absolutely no human interaction on part of Google. It's so easy it makes me want to go to their offices and slap the person in charge in the neck.
[Nexus One General] logger:
I reckon a simpler solution to the PE SPAM with referral codes is as follows:

Restrict feedback entries to known words. So if a user enters anything that is not a word, such as a referral code, serial number or email, then it would get rejected. There is absolutely no reason for legitimate feedback to contain any word or string of characters that is not in a dictionary.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
What about diminutives, etc? Also, What if I want to point to a related app that is better in my opinion? I have done that in the past.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Fair point.

However, for simplicity, blocking non words would go a long way to fixing the referral code issue, while allowing most feedback. It may be better to point out the shortcomings of an application, than to refer readers to an alternative. I know if I was a developer, I would be annoyed if feedback pointed to a competitors product. I trust I got my point across here, using only common words and no diminutives. Common diminutives could be added to the dictionary in any case.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
The operative word here being "most". I get your point, but I think self-regulation would be better on the long run. I don't think the best way to fix an annoying situation is to introduce another annoying situation, even if it's less annoying than the first one; and I sure would be pissed if I was writing a comment and the Market rejected it because one of the words I used was not in the dictionary.

I would be too, but honestly: I don't write comments to please developers, I do it to give other users good advice. Isn't that precisely the point of the comments system?
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:

If you refuse to use it after I've showed you this, or knew about it already and didn't use it, then don't start another thread like this. You have your out.

[Nexus One General] logger:
Of course we know about appbrain. Before you go sprouting off, Just read some the feedback comments in http://www.appbrain.com/browse/apps/?apps=free for example Shazam and you will immediately see they are not filtered and that the SPAM comments we have been discussing reside there as well.

Any yes I have asked appbrain if they would consider filtering the SPAM comments from their site. Hopefully they will.
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
In this instance, I believe the market should regulate itself. There has been enormous growth and with it comes the BS. I'm of the mind to believe this will be addressed.

Legalize it. Don't criticize it.
