He's talking about roaming... If you do that without a dataplan a couple of hundred megs would probably set you back several thousand $.
[Nexus One General] caffesilvia:
Yeah, ditto re: getting a prepaid SIM card on arrival. I haven't tried it in Asia, but in the UK, £5 will buy you 1GB of data to be used in 30 days, on Vodafone. I didn't even have to pay for the SIM card itself. Very pleased.
[Nexus One General] hamshu:
If you speak the language in China, just go to a China Mobile store, pick up a SIM card and put some yuan in it and you'll be good to go. I go to China every summer and have taken my G1 and my N1. You'll be stuck on edge but its enough to get you places. China Mobile stores are everywhere too, some have employees that speak english for just this purpose.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
I pick up pre-paid SIM cards when I land at the airport in the airport store... Or if it's an area I'm familiar with, i.e. Australia, I just head to a local carrier's B&M once I'm in the city...

Then anyone who is half-way important... I send them an e-mail with my pre-paid SIM card's number. If it's important to text or call me, the caller can pay the Int'l charges.

Cheers,

Kermee

+1 You're in the lead with the non-ATT 3G band N1 to begin with. Been awhile since I traveled abroad, last time I remembered only being able to get EDGE but 3G should more prevalent now.
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Ok, sorry, I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to this. I've got a US N1.

Next week I'll be traveling to the UK then Italy. I would need a separate pre-paid sim for each of these countries, no?

And once I pop that in, I should be set, right? No other random fees that I could incur (so long as I don't go over usage)?
[Nexus One General] aloudermilk:
Why hasnt anyone talked about VOIP using locally avalable WIFI.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Possibly because it pre supposes that Wi Fi will be readily available at the foreign destination and cost effective or free. Further it has the obvious disadvantage of tieing the user to the hot spot.

A localised pre paid phone + data pack is far more convenient once set up.

[Nexus One General] bswift:
you can pick up prepaid cards at any 7-11 or at a chunghwa/fareastone store, but i find the store route to be a bit cheaper if you can speak chinese or know someone who does.

if i remember correctly its ~500NT/card and you can use data/internet/email no problem. sometimes they will try to tell you that you need to be a taiwanese citizen to get one, just show them a passport and some other ID and they will be fine.

EDIT: not sure where you're going in Taipei, but wifi is everywhere.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
In short, for the best deal you'll need a sim from each country... unless you're here (Europe) for over a month and making a HEAP of calls (for which situation there's a better deal). In Europe each country runs it's own set of networks and you seamlessly roam between them. However, you are doing international roaming even though you may have just driven or walked across a border.

If you use your UK sim in Italy you'll be roaming and if you sim supports it you'll run out of credit in seconds... :)

Best bet will be to pick up a sim-only pack at the airport in each country... you can go for big brand if you like or even the smaller ones are reliable and somewhat less expensive.

Vodafone Examples:

UK

£20 (= <US$30)

SIM Only

Talk - 600 anytime mins

SMS - 3000 texts

1GB of mobile internet and webmail

Italy

€25 (= ~US$30)

SIM Only

Talk - 500 anytime mins

SMS - 2000 texts

1.5GB of mobile internet and webmail

Cheap as chips.
[Nexus One General] MarcP :D:
Did you try Amazon? What about an International Sim? Can't post links but just search amazon for "International Sim Card"
[Nexus One General] zha50:
China Mobile's 3G network(only 3G carrier in china) are using TD-CDMA, totally uncompilable with the EU and US UTMS, and US CDMA-EVDO 3G. The Nexus is a GSM + UTMS handset.

At best T-Mo would only get you EDGE data roaming, better off just getting a local SIM there.
[Nexus One General] zjchaser:
I got back from China a few weeks ago and brought my N1. I got a sim card from a China Unicom store in one of the malls and had them set it up, worked great, full 3g almost everywhere.....sadly far better than it works in the states. IT was also super cheap. I paid like $4 US for a sim card and got 750mb data. I was only there for 10 days and had wifi in the hotel so that was plenty.
[Nexus One General] miketlo:
China has all 3 types of networks: CDMA, UTMS and TD-SCDMA. So as long as you find the right one youre set.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] crajoh:
I just came across LauncherPro Beta in the market. Man it's fast. Smoothest scrolling I have seen on any launcher.

http://www.launcherpro.com/

I'm very impressed with it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UnderCoverLover:
Wow! you're right, the scrolling is so much smoother than stock. I don't like the icons at the bottom though. I'm gonna try switching them with NinjaMorph:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] adam18488:
wow yeh...once the docks are customisable then this is the best launcher out there...easy
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
How do you activate the home screen previews?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mantisen:
Press home when you are on the home screen :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zas74:
I'm loving it. It's super fast and like the new screen selection overview
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
not bad, in fact, it's very good and responsive; couple of things that i'd like

1. most of you have already mentioned customizable docks (the only one i'd actually like to remove is the contact and replace it with market)

2. remove the text on the homescreens (like helixlauncher) for shortcuts/widgets
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ssj4vegita2002:
Holy crap this IS fast. Hope they make the dock a little bit like Helix2, and it'll be perfect.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jasrups:
Wow amazing!! A few things still need to be implemented (love walls, custom dock) but the Dev has already stated he is working on it. A few other things, there is no home icon once you're in the app drawer, you have to press the back button to access the home screens again. Also, there is no '3D effect' with the drawer scrolling.

Will be my default wall for sure after those issues are resolved. GREAT start though!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kman Gymrat:
Noob question....How do you switch between launchers? I had Launcher pro activated then went to settings, manage applications and force stopped it to go back to the original I had running but now want to turn back on LauncherPro to compare and not quite sure how to do that, thanks for any help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
clear defaults for the launcher, press home, and then it should ask what launcher you want to use.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jasrups:
On the same screen, press the 'Clear Defaults' button. Then press the home button on your phone and it should prompt you to select the launcher of your choice
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lp1527:
Go into Settings> Applications> Manage applications> scroll to whichever launcher you have set to default, select it, then select "clear defaults." After that, when you press the Home button you'll have the choice of which launcher to use and can set your option as default.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
an easier solution is to use the free app on the market called Home Switcher

i just installed it and it's very simple and easy to use; one click and you can switch default to whatever launcher you have installed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
It would be great if we could get a system app version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kman Gymrat:
I think I got it, thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kman Gymrat:
This works a hell of alot easier! Thanks! And Awesome Launcher! Tho I haven't tried any other than what comes with CM Roms, now that I've tried this I may have to try others
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jblazea50:
you may want to try ADW launcher and HelixLauncher (1 or 2)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Part Four:
Damn. After about 30 mins of use, I've decided that Helix has some serious competition here. I've been asking arctu/Faruq to add the Sense UI style home screen previews for months now, and he just couldn't do it. This is kick ass. If only it allowed pinch gesturing to trigger the previews.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drakknar:
Awesome Launcher, thanks for sharing! :)

[EVO 4G General] Freezey:
Im just curious if i were to buy this phone off contract if i could have it activated with boost? i know 4G would be out of the question but would it get 3G if possible?
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
You'd have to wait for people to find a way to get it to recognize Boost's connection settings. My Touch Pro, for example, required at least a dozen changes in the registry and connection setup in order to work with Metro PCS.

Unless Android explicitly prohibits this, and I kind of doubt that, there could be a way to get this phone to work with Boost if somebody were to try.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
you can get the hero on boost I talked to a guy that did it, evdo never worked from what I remembered, had to get into the programming but it wasn't the hardest thing ever. It will take a lot of patience and lot of work to get all that sorted out.

If you are wanting a quick port, look elsewhere, the hero has been done, might go that route, but the method should be very much similar with the evo.

I'll do my normal speel once I get my evo in how to get into the programming menus, what works, what doesn't ..how to get your msl and the lot, I can try and help with the programming it's self, but I'm sure there are lots of others that can take it from there.
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
Technically any Sprint CDMA phone can work on Boost CDMA, it's just that Sprint chooses what phones go on what network. SO the cool phones go on the contract network (Sprint) while the prepaid network (Boost) gets the "crappy" phones. This is why i'm considering switching to a GSM carrier so i can get a phone of choice and just pop in a SIM.

I used to know some folks **cough** cough** who could do all this switcheroo on certain phones to Boost CDMA but the Evo is a new beast which would be hard. The phones are getting more complex and locked down more and more.

Really all it takes is for Sprint not to lock down the Evo ESN's to specific plans/features/codes in their system...but that's NEVER going to happen, mate.
[HD2 General] booziboy:
3 days ago I got my HD2 from Tmobile (I jumped from At&T to tmo) and I have been trying hard to get the sim unlock but just cannot get it from any of the unlocker services.

I must have tried at least 5 or 6 unlockers and no one can geit it. Yes my IMEI starts with 35777 .. but even some of the unlockers who charge more and claim they can unlock are just refunding the $$$.

Is it my phone or is it with all the new HD2 's
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
I have never had a problem just calling the carrier and telling them I'm heading out of country and would like the unlock code. Seems to work every time for me and it's free.
[HD2 General] aarons6:
its for all the htc phones.. there is a new service for htc unlock codes. its not 100% up and running yet. if your phone was made after a certain date the old services wont work. you just gotta wait.
[HD2 General] robrob777:
You don't have to pay for it. Just call T-Mo. I got mine unlocked in 24 hours and I'm on pre-paid, they just ask you for the IMEI and your email. Thats it. it is free
[HD2 General] booziboy:
well tmo has this new rule that you have to be subscriber for 45 days before they give you the unlock code. I really have a international trip coming up in the next 10 days. Looks like I might have to threaten them of cancelation(I have 15 days .. buyers remorse, and anyway i have been rethinking my decission about putting three lines in contract)
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Tell them that and they will unlock it for you. Go into a store and have the rep call for you. That rule is more of a guide line than an actual rule.
[HD2 General] DrunkenTeQuila:
Unlock

Okay if you got the phone with a new contract then will have to wait 40-45 days before they give you the unlock code.

But if you brought the phone for retail then they will email the code to you the next day. I got mine unlocked Easter Sunday

Call 877-453-1304

Hi guys,

I have noticed a strange thing with Exchange mail app. When I send my e-mail it does send it but, however, saves the message as a draft as well. After some time my DRAFTS folder is becoming a copy of my SENT ITEMS which is a bit annoying. Does anyone experience the same / has any cure for that?

Second "bug" is when I try to reply a facebook notification. Now, when I post a photo on FB and someone leaves a comment ot that, I receive an E-Mail notification like "John has commented on your photo...", and in the message body it says: REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL TO ANSWER THE COMMENT. It has always worked for me using Outlook, webmail, WinMobile-outlook-mail (and it still does) to hit the "Reply" button, type smth thus leaving a comment. However, no comments are left if I try to "reply" on "John's comment" using my Desire.

Any clues?

Using HTC default Exchange mail app.
[Desire General] temka:
anyone?...
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
I guess the two problems may be related. Are the Facebook replies going out through your Exchange account?

To diagnose the first problem, can you see if the Exchange server is logging any errors? Get your system administrator (if it's not you) to check the application event logs, while you're doing a send/receive.
[Desire General] captainsensible2002:
I have the first problem - intermittently any mail I send is also saved to the drafts folder and its a little annoying. Personally I don't believe the second problem is related in any way at all...
[Desire General] Edward Lowy:
I have the first issue when using my office email account. We use Lotus Notes and the interface between the device and the Domino server is Commontime software, using Activesync client on the device.

Commontime advise that this is only an issue with Android 2.1 devices as the outgoing mail is not stamped with a Posteddate field.

I also have a Hotmail account on the Desire, and I do not get the "sent -> drafts" syndrome with that account.
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
Deleting and re-adding accounts is fixing problems for some people. I would suggest delete, reboot, re-add.
[Desire General] captainsensible2002:
Already tried that but didn't work.
[Desire General] temka:
does not work for me either :(
[Desire General] Rob Pomeroy:
--or, in the case of Lotus, the logs from Commontime.
[Desire General] HeDish:
Sometimes answers or new mails ends up staying in draft.

I've found out that on some e-mail addresses it takes the domain away.

user1.user2@mail.com becomes user1.user2@mail.

On both answers and new ones. And it can be one out of two...

Any ideas?

Is there any way to create icons for movies that i load onto my phone? I like the way HTC did the transformers icon to get to the transformer movies, but how can i create one for another movie?
[HD2 General] tricsio:
I was trying to find or create something of the same
[HD2 General] zelendel:
The Easiest way I would say is Creat the icon and then point the reg to use that icon.
[HD2 General] boomersooner4900:
Would you mind explaining a little further? How would one do that? Sounds like a great idea
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Well The first thing I did was search the internet for a base png file, Then I used Gimp to edit the file to fit what I wanted to use it for. HERE is a good start. Once you have your icon, you drop it into your windows folder.

Second You need to create a shortcut to file, I use Total commader to create the .lnk file and put that in the windows folder. After your icon is done and in the windows folder with the lnk file you need to point the reg to the lnk file. Below is an example of the reg setting I use for my calculator icon

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Calculator.lnk]

"Icon"="\\windows\\Start_Icon_Calc.png"

Now this is just to get you started. Once you get better at it you can create from scratch with diff programs link photoshop or such.
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
So I happened across this thread from a search, what I am trying to do is create a launcher icon from scratch for my movies, for example I have Hellboy 2. I would like to create an icon with a Hellboy image and when pressing it, will start Hellboy 2. Is this possible using the method mentioned above and if it is what else do I need to do? Thanks for any info provided
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Yes for the most part it will work. the main thing is making the shortcut to the movie file and then making the reg to match
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
Ok I have the shortcut to the movie and the .png I created all in the windows folder. The part I am stuck at is the .reg file. I want the movie icon to appear in multimedia, no when navigating there using the path you listed above I see all the .lnk reg files for the various programs in multimedia. I try to add a value and when doing so it's not coming out like the ones listed. This is the step that I'm hung up on.

And thanks for providing the info
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Ok I think I missed a step. Sorry about that. What you need to do is find your short cut in windows folder and move it to windows\start menu\Programs\Multimedia and then reboot once you have the lnk in the folder and the reg set
