i agree.. i think the user should be able add any developer to their personal 'blacklist' that will just simply hide them from view in the market.

also, a more in depth search is needed. filter by keywords you want, keywords you dont want, categories, rating, total downloads, active installs, developers country, downloads to time in market ratio, etc, etc... i mean come on how hard is this to implement when your the top search provider in the entire world.

edit: also, this spam crap is hurting the legit devs. without proper filters or search, it is an uphill battle to not fail. i mean, how will the casual user even know your app exists when 50 apps above it and 50 apps below it are all spam.

i have so many question but only one is my concern about is to debranding the phone

ok now here in dubai they don't have marketplace installed inside the phone and one retail store here they have and they told they can install marketplace as far as i know in order you to have the Marketplace apps is to de-brand the phone in UK version..

aim :confused: confuse if they will de-brand the phone OS 1.6, version 014 and if there is an update for 016 can i update so without losing mrktplace apps? may be after i update i lost it because of of new version of 016 and can i upgrade the phone also for 2.1, coz i de-brand the phone UK version

guyzzzzzzzz need help aim working here in Dubai.....:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] MobileBritain:
Debranding and then upgrading should give you the standard setup which includes Market Place. Is there a legal reason for not having the Market Place? If so I wouldn't want to mess around with it in a country that throws people in jail for extended periods for very little reason.
[XPERIA X10 General] junexyz:
according to Google policy U.A.E marketplace for android are not allowed here in middle east.... thats why some people de-brand there android to have mrkplace inside... some retail store offers to install mrkplace or to de-brand the phone in-order to sell, increase profit....and because some buyers are asking about mrktplace that it doesn't appear on the package...

aim really frustrating about google policy here in dubai this county are rapidly booming economy or lets say a rich country but they cannot gave full satisfaction to the consumers.... :mad:

http://get.skyfire.com/dl_android.php

Overall I'm impressed. Opera seems to work a bit faster, but this loads the page perfectly (unlike opera) Also, Opera tends to have issues with some links, not so on this. So perhaps this'll be my main browser.

For the video I've been seeing an issue where it'd load a video but midway the loading bar will still be there when the video plays in the background...

So- I'd have the video playing with the loading bar still in the way ^^;;

Anyone else having that issue?

I'm in Japan on wifi~

Here's a video of what I'm talking about ^^;

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
Yep.. same problem here.. tried watching a video from the BBC website and it got to 71% before it started playing in the back... then stopped down loading and wouldn't let me control the playback.. all I could do was let it run.. or press back to exit the video player.

How did you install skyfire? I tried to download it from get.skyfire.com and i can't install it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] GuestD2789:
just search for it on the android app market, it installed fine for me from there
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Astral07:
Partial flash support > no flash support :-) i'm sure it'll get much better
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nihonjintaylor:
connect your phone to the pc - place the file you downloaded from the skyfire.com site into it. Use an application that lets you see inside your SD card (try astro something or other program :p)

run it and install :D. (heading to bed at the moment if you still can't figure it out by the time i wake up, I'll go into more detail ;) )

It is quite tantalizing to see the world cup game playing perfectly in the background but not be able to watch it due to the loading window being in the way and frozen at 50%.

I have seen it work perfectly on the droid which is running 2.1.

Is it a 1.6 or X10 issue?:mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] RoryBear:
Hey there,

I have decided that I truly despise the native windows mobile facebook app. Is there any other (preferably free) ones that are good? I do think the current iphone one is quite good and easy to use, is there anyway to use that on the HD2? The WinMo one is just a pain in the arse to be honest.

Thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Rutster:
Hi all,

I've tried the facebook mobile site, touch site, facebook lite and market place app and they all have bad points. The worst is not all your friends status updates show. I tend to use the full site on my HD2 internet browser. Saves loads of problems. Will probably keep on using it till we get a good facebook app that is similar to the iphone app :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] burpingboy:
can't really agree that the iphone facebook app is all that great though...

privacy issues is one thing, where syncing your contact with the iphone facebook app allows facebook the right to own every contact information in your iphone!

and their syncing system allows strangers on facebook to be synced to your iphone contacts... perhaps they synced it with contact information they got from other iphone users, based on phone no.s and etc, but ignoring country and area codes, which ends up syncing your iphone contact to a stranger in facebook, because they have the same phone no. (excluding country code)... that alone is scary enuf...

at least i'm happy with HD2's manila facebook integration, a little manual, but safer, and the album viewing is just smooth, with auto update of the avatar on the phone...

the app is not that impressive them, i have to admit... but iphone's privacy violation just gives me the jitters...

I've tryed to root my NoBrand Legend fw1.31 BL0.43 with No Succes!!

I did the step1 but I cannot enter in recovery mode from bootloader. It appairs a black warning screen and the pc does'nt found the device so I cannot start the step2!

Once I restarted the phone I've the previous setting but in software information I got a ROM no-sign.

Help me! :D

Don't restart phone on red exclamation screen push power + VOL up button at the same time and u will enter on recovery menu

[Legend Android Development] Pirreballo:
Ok I did it! Now I've the blue recovery screen but in the bottom of the screen there is written in yellow:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command.

So I've the same problem that the PC doen't find the device when I lunch the step2! :( :(
[Legend Android Development] iziy:
Is it branded or unbranded phone which ver of software u have?
[Legend Android Development] Pirreballo:
It's NOBRAND, fw 1.31, bootloader 0.43.
[Legend Android Development] Pirreballo:
Finally I've root it!

Run all the processes from a lite version of Windows XP!

The difficult part was to configure the drivers of Legend for adb, fastboot and bootloader mode: http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg90765.html

After that another possible variant for my success may have been the change of the microSD which I created the Goldcard.

So, from windows, step1 did not give me more the error 42 and was able to load all necessary files on the device, consequently, has also completed the step2!

P.S. single bug found ... greater instability in wifi!
[Legend Android Development] ferry99:
Cannot root my Legend

I have the same problem at Step 2. I get Error: Device not Found when it tries to load files to the phone and to the SD card. And I have that warning symbol on the phone screen. Is there something that you have to do so the computer can find the phone? I have the drivers there. What else do you need to do? Has anybody figured it out?

Thanks for any advice.

[Legend Android Development] dbezzegh:
how long does the step1 take?

I am wondering how long the step1 may take. It is runing since a while...

thanks for any answer....
[Legend Android Development] tripledes:
Did you pass the step1 without problems?

If any error was encountered, step2 is likely to fail.

Have you checked your ROM/bootloader versions?
[Legend Android Development] dbezzegh:
win7 x64

Ok. So with win7 x64 the step1 was never done.

I rooted with my mac, that worked fine.:cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] msyang20:
When messing with the hd2 a tmobile store, i remember its panorama camera mode is quite impressive. it automatically gets the panorama pic from moving the phone from left to right, rather than having to manually take multiple shots. can anyone confirm this? and if so, can anyone develope a cab??

thanks n advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Superman_1122:
You might be better off having a look in the HD2 part of the forum, or asking their if someone can make a .cab and installing it yourself.

I'm gonna go take a peak now see if I can find it, if I do, i'll post it back here if I can find the thread.

[XPERIA X10 General] MobileBritain:
Tried this on the BBC News website, it was supposed to show a summary of this evenings debate, what I got was a download screen that stuck at 74% while a video of Obama talking about the oil slick played behind it. Several other sites I tried it loaded the mobile version of the site which automatically assumed the browser had no flash support. Another site I tried it failed to notice the video content.

I think it is a little optimistic to call this a Beta, it shows promise but there seem to be quite a few fundamental bugs that need to be ironed out.

[Droid Incredible General] n0-0ne:
thats all well and good, but some of us would like to disable 3g on occasion to ensure we get longer life, i've yet to find the option in the system settings, anyone know where it might be hidden.
[Droid Incredible General] deekjx:
Hold down the power button. Its the last option on the list "Mobile Network". It works as a toggle.
[Droid Incredible General] n0-0ne:
cheers, its kind of a solution (ie: turns off all data connections except wifi instead of just using edge).
[Droid Incredible General] th3drow:
this will turn off all the internet for it, TC is your friend trying to turn off 3g and just have it use 1x to save battery? or turn off all internet on the phone?
[Droid Incredible General] arcteryxbird:
Yeah I figured out how to disable all data connections in Settings, but in my experience, whenever I turn off 3g I've had waaaayyyy better battery life. I am on ATT though...so it IS constantly going from 3G to Edge. I don't know if he'll be able to keep a 3G connection constantly, but I'm still wondering if turning it off will help.
[Droid Incredible General] runkittyrun:
i was about to post the info but it got realy long so i made new post on it so its easier to find

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690682

- short version

- turn off 3G

phone screen > ##778 > "000000" > modem settings >

preferred mode- should be on auto as default, switch it to cdma only

menu > commit settings > (auto reboots)

poof 1x only mode!!!

--- also if this is just for battery life, biggest hits are

screen brightness, timeout

gps!,bluetooth,wifi(wifi can help battery in low 3g coverage but dont leave it one when your away)

email pulling ( gmail app with push is much more energy friendly if you can use just it and not the standardized mail program at all

other programs that do constant updating

Edit: oh and vibration uses more energy then audio and can be turned off, also haptic vibrate on selections and notification the have audio and vibrate
[Droid Incredible General] Lino.:
Has anyone proved that Using 3G wastes more power, I would think that the slower transfer speeds require more info transfered from your phone to download the information requested, and longer uptime waiting to view a webpage.

Why spend money on such a nice phone to browse with slow speeds.
[Droid Incredible General] runkittyrun:
hey i'm not saying i'm planning to use it myself, with the exception of when i go to gamble at the casino cause they have awful data interference

if your streaming videos or large file transfers the cell radio would actively broadcast for much longer time and would use more power going to youtube on it all day, but sometimes you know your gonna be away from a charger or just have to be on the run for while and while the phone has great data features sometimes you need the phone to be a phone and know that its reliable and their when you need it

of course it will have breakpoint where smaller data transfers will be more efficient, the largest benefit will be noticed when the phone is in your pocket maintaining its connection with cell towers

this will allow you to still receive emails in real time but give your phone radio less work to do

lets get some effort on this, gonna start digging thru the source now..
[Nexus One Android Development] insomnia:
it would be awesome if we can get this working !!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Eclair~:
Everytime there is a new post, I check this thread, sadly its just motivational comments. If this happens though, we will have one more thing that makes the Nexus and even better phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] coolbho3000:
Btw guys, the sensor is definitely capable of it. Like mentioned by the OP, it's just the encoding that is holding this up.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
What is the problem with the encoding to start with? I would much prefer to use the h264 codec to record video to start with, why does using it crash the camera app?
[Nexus One Android Development] dsixda:
I think it would be better if we could get a constant bit rate for the video recorder instead, just like on the Milestone/Droid, rather than the frame skipping in indoor light conditions.

I also hope one day we can get a better audio format rather than 8kHz AMR in our video recordings :-(

But this is a good initiative anyway..
[Nexus One Android Development] hypersonicx:
Thats exactly what I'm looking for in terms of fps. Made a thread requesting someone add the ability to records at constant 30fps and from my testing the framerate only drops when recording indoors or in low light conditions. The indoor lighting slows everything down but out side it records perfectly and smooth. If we can get that fixed by an android pro that would be great.

As for 720p I still think thats a hardware limitation somewhere in the lense or motherboard. If it was hardware possible, how come google didnt include that from the start?
[Nexus One Android Development] crabnebula:
Just want to second this. The audio quality is pathetic and makes it useless for recording voice. It is one thing I miss from the iPhone. I'd assume that changing the audio codec and bitrate wouldn't be too hard for a good dev (which I certainly am not).
[Nexus One Android Development] vr24:
Records VERY well in ideal outside conditions, shot this the other day:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPh9NQAiBPA

Haven't tried low light, but that is using MoDaCo A21 Desire ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] dsixda:
Yes I know it works well in outdoor lighting - the point was that it skips frames indoors.
[Nexus One Android Development] lch920619x:
From my experience of playing DSLR

the skipping in dim environment is probably because of insufficient CPU performance. When the light is dim, slower shutter speed and higher iso is required to obtain proper exposure, thus increase the noise. More cpu resource is needed to perform noise reduction. Then if the cpu is not strong enough, it skipps:(

If you take photos you know when you use high ISO and noise reduction at the same time, speed and the maximum frames of continuous shooting is usually affected.

So from my view, if we cannot improve the algorithm of encoder to achieve higher efficiency(which I think is quite difficult), then force disabling the noise reduction might be a way to solve this, although the video will be noisy...

just guessing...:D
[Nexus One Android Development] charnsingh_online:
along with this i was also working on 30fps and 44khz sound. the max fps i could get indoor was 26, couldnt test outdoor. i am testin the sound now. Hey and 30fps is a go but 44khz sound causes fc, will check the logs. Uploading a 26.176fps video recorded on my N1. IT STILL skips some frames but the limit is lifted from 24fps stock android
[Nexus One Android Development] MaxiJavi:
Great ...

I will try it out :-)

BUT

Your screen shot says 720 x 480 ??

That is not 720p ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p

The 720 refers to the height, not the lines :-)

What you have is what is commonly referred to as DVD resolution (although really only for NTSC, as PAL is higher).
[Nexus One Android Development] MaxiJavi:
Incidentally ...

The Desire camera on the Nexus One can record at 800x480, but the I think it does it at 15 FPS and crap audio. 720x480 at 25-30 FPS with half decent audio would be very cool :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] charnsingh_online:
Yes currently only 720x480. First trying to get decent video at this resolution. Then will move to increasing resolutions.
[Nexus One Android Development] lch920619x:
wow

480p to 720 p is a big jump

it's 2.67X data to process...
[Nexus One Android Development] charnsingh_online:
Nexus has the capability to do that, try recording a video on ur phone and see how fast it processes a 480p video. IDC if it takes a bit more time to process and if it can decode it it should be able to encode it. 528mhz magic 32a can record 640x480 so it should be possible for nexus with a far far better processor to atleast to 720p
[Nexus One Android Development] charnsingh_online:
anybody have the exact specifications of the nexus one processor, info about GPU and stuff, the problem on 720p is the excess load on processor which makes it hang and reboot
