I tried but the black screen installation which ran from 1 to 100 does not cost at all but we get stuck on the white screen of the device we get stuck LOADING
[Desire General] schalmers:
Hi,

First time posting on the forum but I have been following it for many months now and find it very helpful so thank you.

I am about to make the move from Touch Diamond 2 to either the HTC Desire or the Nexus One but I would like some help from the people on the forum in making the decision :-)

Reasons to buy HTC Desire:

1) cheaper (with contract in France)

2) Sense UI - not mandatory but I am used to it from the Diamond2

3) Prefer buttons and optical trackball (I think but have not touched either device yet)

4) Sense UI allows me to Synch Exchange Calendar which would be important (but I know the N1 can use the Touchdown App)

Reasons to buy Nexus One:

1) Will get Android updates faster

So my big question is should I really be so worried at the speed that HTC will release the new Android updates (I have read that 2.2 might be available as of May 17th - but it is not yet clear what will be included)?

My biggest fear is that I will buy the HTC Desire and it will be stuck on 2.1 for the next year and the Nexus One will keep getting more and more features added. I have been reading about how the HTC Hero users are still waiting to get either 2.0 or 2.1 for months and would not like to be in the same boat if I can avoid it.

I have also been reading how the Desire can now be routed so should I put my faith in the XDA developers to keep the Desire updated even if HTC doesn't do it on their own? I have not tried routing and using the Custom Roms yet (on my Diamond2) but am willing to give it a try if needed on the Desire.

Thanks for anyone who can give me some advise on this purchase.

Get a Desire.......Now that it's rooted you're gonna get updates due to the fantastic work on XDA and modaco. Period. Its a no Brainer man!

[Desire General] schalmers:
Thank you, That is how I was feeling but I wanted to be reassured :-)

I guess I will just have to learn how to Root update the Desire with out bricking it. Luckily I have also been learning Linux the past few years as it looks like that is also necessary for the rooting.

Thanks for the feedback

My new favorite browser, I saw it on the market last night and downloaded it to test it out. Love how it can load up videos that you used to not be able to load...only problem is that it takes forever to do so because it converts them on the fly.
[G1 Apps and Games] alongenemylines:
I get FC anytime I try to open it. oh well.
[G1 Apps and Games] mrhousto:
Nice!

I've been using this for a couple of days now... It is MUCH better than the standard browser or Opera Mini. :)
[G1 Apps and Games] Brut.all:
And what about Dolphin Browser? Standard browser lacks some features and Opera Mini is crap of ****. I tested Skyfire, it is good, but I like Dolphin more.
[G1 Apps and Games] G1ForFun:
Can you tell me why you like it?

I have been unable to figure out why anyone does.;)
[G1 Apps and Games] rocketpaul:
i have a library of images of the websites ive visited in my gallery, anyone have this issue?
[G1 Apps and Games] Brut.all:
It's nothing superb, it just has features that standard browser lacks. Browser is too "basic".

fast access to anything through gestures

nice context menu on long touch on something, which includes zooming (so buttons don't cover up webpage)

auto rotation of screen without page reload (and it is very fast too)

fast tab switching through moving out (left or right) of a webpage

caching webpages: if you load up some page, then exit browser, run something else, so browser will be killed and then return back, Dolphin will load this page from some kind of cache

[G1 Apps and Games] Kwills88:
its in beta form so its great for where its at right now...i been using skyfire since 2008 its one of the best browsers around it will get better with more releases in the future.

and just type in skyfire in the market save yourself the trouble.
[G1 Apps and Games] gamin92:
Common, I said ""EVEN after scanning", which implies I tried also typing skyfire in the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] Eclypz:
Is it just me, or is this browser painfully slow at loading pages? And to boot, my phone is virtually unresponsive while it loads pages.

I'm going to wait for a couple updates before trying again.
[G1 Apps and Games] Che123:
This is no issue - these are the cache files of your skyfire-temporary-internetfiles. Just search for that folder on your sd card, add an empty file and name it ".nomedia" - now this folder will not appear in your gallery anymore :)

Pretty tight browser

I totally love the ability to watch flash videos that I otherwise had to miss on my phone. This browser is a must-install for all android users until true flash support is available. Even if you don't use it as your daily browser, having the ABILITY to view these videos on your phone is a must!

[G1 Apps and Games] :
is it possible to set as default browser so i could remove the stock one?

i really like the stock browser from cyanogen with fullscreen mode, but could not get it to work on SuperD 1.11

i switched back from 5.0.7 t2 to SuperD as it uses less ressources, and i like being able to do smooth multitasking

will probably switch back after it is stable and set up a little swap partition, but as for now, i'm only searching for a good browser replacement and do not like dolphin that much.

so is it possible to set skyfire as default?

EDIT: actually it is possible, so forget my question =)
[Desire General] jonnyguitar:
Hi everyone.

I've bought the HTC Desire and very pleased with it. I am cycling from the South of England to the UK in July for charity and wondered if anyone had any ideas for tracking my progress?

I would like a way to broadcast our position to the event website regularly, without it hammering my battery life.

Any ideas? Can I do something with google tracks? I don't need an exact, constant position, just an update on my position every hour or so, to keep battery life down.

It's either that or random geo tagging, but that's not as cool. Incidentally, what would you say is the best way to geotag photos and uploading to a site? Flikr or something else?

Our team page is w w w. cycle2paris2010. co. uk if anyone's interested (or even want to donate!) - remove the spaces in the URL.

Thanks

PS - Would LOVE to use the phone as satnav using google maps, but there's no way the battery would last 5 hours of satnav use a day... unless anyone has any thoughts?

[Desire General] petzlux:
there are bicycle chargers that you can mount to your bike, and which charge usb devices. that would be the only way to use your phone as a gps tracker.

[Desire General] blackadder1000:
A friend who just ran the London Marathon had the phone in his back pocket with Google Latitude switched on. That way, we could all track his position.

He didn't leave GPS on so it was just working off his phone mast position. Similar thing for you? Embed Google Maps on your page and link it in with your latitude?
[Desire General] H00pyFr00d:
Maybe use HTC Footprints?

No really.

You'll be the first person to use it though I'd have thought.
[Desire General] Lyrrad:
Trip Journal does what you are looking for and then allows whole trip to be exported to either Google Earth, Picasa, Facebook or flickr. Works quite well but the longest delay for recording is every 10 secs. You can force GPS off and on when require though.

http://www.trip-journal.com/

Footprints is quite okay too. However I can't get voice recordings to show on google earth. (I used it last wekend for Buckingham Palace to Kew Gardens trip with my son).

If you just want to stop take a picture and a memo and perhaps a voice recording record where it was. Footprints is cool

but i need a good GPS in my phone

i use my phone for

- car navigation

- geoaching

the car navigation seems to bee no problem with the s200

but has anybody tried geocaching with it?

or does somebody know if the s200 has "static navigation"?

and if so, can you disable this "feature" somehow

i clicked through many pages here but still haven't found the answers to my questions.

Thanks for reading - and answering...
[Desire Themes and Apps] ivicask:
So i have rooted my HTC desire phone, now i wonder if is it posibble to remove any stock applications from it, without flashing someones rom.

Apps like, Flick, Footprints, Google Talk, Peep, Quickoffice, Stocks.

This are the apps i would like to remove, or atleast make them stop starting and restarting each time i kill them with some task manager.
[Desire Themes and Apps] emdzej:
Yes, it's possible.

You have to do all the steps of rooting till you'll reach "recovery" mode (just before wipe and flash).

than just run the debugger

./adb shell

withing the shell

mount /system

list your apps with:

ls /system/app

now you can delete app:

rm /system/app/FriendStream*

and so on

It's good idea to backup your apps on sdcard

mount /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard/backup
cp /system/app/* /sdcard/backup

after work is finished

umount /sdcard
umount /system

reboot and you're done :)

It's good idea to wipe data after removing apps to avoid some junk in app manager.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cezarL:
Wow! Thanks a lot for that!

I was trying adb commands with the phone in USB Disk Drive mode (debugging enabled) and I couldn't touch anything off the /system partition.

It never occurred to me to try in Recovery mode though :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] lambrospower:
by saying it's a good idea to wipe data after removing some apps do you mean hard reset ??? or this just deletes the junk files?????

also do i need to flash the rooted update for this or just enter recovery mode ?

So can anyone tell me is there any way to bypass it or enter gprs settings to connect it to internet to activate it....?????

I think that internet connection is not needed, as gmail password is already stored somewhere inside the software (assuming you have already set up your gmail account). You can also try to reinstall the official firmware.

That works, but you can't take video like that. Is it possible to port the camera from the EVO 4G or some other device, since that has the trigger on the screen? My trackpad is dead too and I would like to take videos.

I found some highly modified version, which is ugly and has some broken functionality so I'm looking for others.

I've tried all alternative camera apps from the market, but none are as good. All I'd like is the camera app that came with the phone, but had an on-screen shutter button. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
I'm trying this program out to get my phone profiles to change automatically (silent for work and wifi/bluetooth on at other times like when plugged in etc).

I have set up details for auto switching but the behaviour now of the profiles is a bit weird at times.

When I have an automatic switchover for instance from Home to Work (silent) profiles, I'm not certain if it's actually doing it or not.

What happened this morning for instance was that I got to work at 8.40 and checked my phone and it still had the speaker icon showing normally in the taskbar as if it was still set to 100% volume, BUT, when I pressed the volume rocker to set it silent, I found the volume bar was already fully down, suggesting it had actually changed the volume setting as required and presumably switched the profile, but simply not refreshed the speaker icon on the taskbar to show that the phone was now set as silent or vibrate.

Hope that makes sense!

On top of that, whilst it seems to work well to switch both wifi and bluetooth on when required, it doesn't always seem to turn wifi off again when it should. I'm fairly sure it's not just a case of profile settings causing it just to remain on because the profile it's gone back to still uses wifi after an auto switch.

Would love to keep this program but only if I have total confidence that my phone is not going to ring when it's meant to be silent etc, and it's a little misleading at the moment with the impression it sometimes gives about whether the phone is actually silent or not.

Anyone else have these issues, and any way I can correct this?

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rickyjune:
if you've gone in to setting-->profiles --> and click option --> automatic switching

then you are doing it right

also realise there are option for switch on/off bluetooth/wifi/radio etc when setting up your profile

also if you can't see the PhoneAlarm taskbar on your front screen, then that would mean its not install properly and therefore not working, hope that helps
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gwbard:
have you been to the forums @ pocketmax.net? there is tons of information there, and plenty of help for questions such as this.

I have been using phoneAlarm with no problems whatsoever for years now...

oh, and by the way, your signature does not reflect what ROM you are using -- I have noticed on the more recent Energy ROMs of mine that the taskbar is sometimes "slow" to refresh. for instance, when unplugging usb/charger the battery icon does not change from the 'lightning bolt' back to percentage until a minute or so... (this could possibly be related to volume icon as well)
