hello to all,

i'm just wondering if its possible to make TCPMP as default player instead of the hd2 player? i'm also using a bluetooth headset and i prefer this headset can control the tcpmp. i observed that each time i press button to start or stop the music it brings my hd2 to the hd2 player. is there a reg tweak for this and to make the tcmp as always the default player, i mean as to replace the hd2 player by tcpmp on the MUSIC player. i also just brought coreplayer and just miss a chance to learn that tcpmp is available for free:(:(:( anyway both coreplayer and tcpmp are great and just solved the audio booster problem. please help and THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Really sorry to necro an old post but I have just bought a Jabra clipper and can't get Audio Booster working with the default player and bluetooth so my alternative is to use Coreplayer. However when I try to use the Jabra Clipper to control music with Coreplayer, it merely activates the default music player even though I have associated mp3 with Coreplayer.

Advice welcomed :)

Hello!

I have enough, and I want to try something new.:D I would like to test some of the tattoo roms, so i will root the phone.

Now i need your opinion which rom to choose?

In which rom all the stuff (app and camera and other works fine)? Is here on the forum that kind of rom?

THanks!

Greetings from Slovenia!
[Click General] TheSSJ:
Well, there are quite some good ones out there...Azusa, 5faif, fyodor and Cthulhu ROMs are the ones currently being developed and updated...but now I'll put my effort entirely to get FroYo to work...
[Click General] MPodlesnik:
So we have to wait for your rom :)
[Click General] TheSSJ:
Well, not only mine since I'm not skilled enough (yet)...but this has to be a teamwork ROM! :)

Ok got the update woohoo! and felt a tiny bit dissapointed that some Nexus issues still haven't been addressed boohoo!

I like the new browser and dialer buttons at the bottom now how do I change that default dialer into the far superior "Dialer one"? Is it possible?
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
I would like to do the same thing. Hopefully someone can figure out how to do it.
[Nexus One General] balenax:
well i am just waiting for launcher pro to get that feature and will replace the default one anyways :)
[Nexus One General] AllanJacques:
Well, that is something I would like to do too...
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Yep, weakest stock dialer I have seen in about a decade. Will be installing the first fix that hits.
[Nexus One General] Scrtcwlvl:
The default android dialer is an embarrassment, I installed Dailer One and set it as default.

It is free from the market place and has full smartdialer functionality seen on the HTC Dialer. However, by default it doesn't search numbers, only names, so you will need to change a few settings to get everything right.

But once you do, it is perfect.
[Nexus One General] Jrbourque:
right, thats what we use the problem is linking the phone button on the froyo launcher to open dialer one instead of default google dialer
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Yeah, I should have been more specific. The first thing that allows me to replace the stock shortcuts. I use dialer one also, have been since about 15 minutes after I turned the phone on for the first time and figured out I had a better dialer somewhere around 1995 or so. Whoever designed it, had anything to do with approving it all the way to Andy Rubin should be fired. And I mean kicked in the nuts, dragged across the parking lot, thrown in a ditch, and pissed on fired. In order to be an epic failure it would have to get better. Calling it crap would be an insult to turds everywhere.
[Nexus One General] z0phi3l:
Wow lot of exaggeration here

The stock dialer is not bad at all, it just doesn't suit your needs

I could go on about how craptacular Dialer One is after trying it, but I realize it just isn't for me, stock works just fine for my needs
[Nexus One General] player911:
What problem linking to the Dialer One app? Just replace the stock dialer link with the Dialer one link on the desktop.

If you use Launcher Pro, it will then ask you what dialer you want to make the default.

My LauncherPro Phone link opens Dialer one just fine on FroYo. No Special tricks involved.
[Nexus One General] AllanJacques:
Not exactky wht I meant, what I meant wa, the default icon, left side from apps drawer, when clicked to summon dialer one and not stock dialer, got it?
[Nexus One General] mutantblack:
yea. launcher pro is a lot better than stock launcher anyway.
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
Launcher Pro is really good, and I used it with 2.1, but I prefer the layout of the Froyo launcher. I would also like to know how the change the phone shortcut to open dialer one instead of the default phone app.

While yes the default phone app does look better than dialer one, it is no where near as functional. Being able to type names to search for them on my phone is important to me because all my HTC phones since the wizard could do this. Long time smartphone uses should be annoyed by this, but if you are new to the game you just haven't experienced it.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
If your needs stop at pushing ten numbers and hitting the dial button yes the stock dialer can meet your needs but smartphone users are used to more functionality. A lot more. I wasnt kidding when I said I had better dialers somewhere around the mid nineties. I did. That doesnt take much though when you need only add speed dial to have a more fully featured dialer than the stock android dialer. This is a smart phone, I have the expectation that my dialer will be similar to what has been in smartphones for years. That means, speed dial, t9 search of logs and contacts, intelligent search (brings the most frequently called numbers to the top of the list of numbers meeting the search criteria), and more. Does that sound much like the stock dialer? Are you actually aware of what dialers can do for you or how to use the functionality in dialer one? Because it doesnt sound to me like you understand what you are using or what can be done with those tools.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Get real, you don't have to dial 10 numbers to use the stock dialer. Just use the address book and hit dial. Besides most of my calls are already in my call log so It's super easy. Then of course there is the favorites tab.

I used dialer one and went back to the stock dialer because I like it better. You can't speak for all "smartphone users". You can only speak for yourself.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I cant speak for all smartphone users and should only speak for myself, true that. Lets examine further. Anybody think I'm pals with Jon Rubinstein? Bill Gates? Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo? I wish because I would be living in a big fancy house and drinking champagne on a corporate jet. Nope, just an ordinary joe like everybody else here and I'm fine with that. Now despite lacking my direct influence all these people have seen fit to put far more functionality into their smartphone dialers. Think maybe it was because millions of other peoples wishes shaped smartphones into what they are and what features are standard fare? I mean no one here thinks they did it because I asked right? Features vary among all the outfits but android dialer has NO features. None. Thats a pretty weak resume when compared to what others bring to the party.

Lets look at the specifics. Contacts is much slower than T9 when your contacts run up into the hundreds. Nor is browsing through a very long call log easy or quick without a means to search it and this is best done in the dialer itself because it means less clicks which equals less time to get where you are going. Going to faves is again more clicks than simple speed dial for the most frequently used numbers, I dont use it at all.

I hate to break this to you but getting work done is a core smartphone usage and not because of me, I'm just one guy out in the grind. Millions of other people in total are what got advanced dialer features into smartphones and they got there because they needed them. The stock dialers shortcomings are why there are so many dialers and other enhancements that add speed dial and search on the market. I am aware that smartphones are now going through a fundamental change in user base and they are not just for work anymore. A lof of people are using them and for many different reasons. I dont think my usage is any more imprortant than anyone elses but I dont think it is any way singular either. The stock dialer may work fine for you or anyone that doesnt need more capability but that doesnt mean that it is up to the standard of the segment. Its not. Thats a fact. Get real? lol
[Nexus One General] JareduPS:
I took a look at dialer one, and, while it probably offers good functionality; it's nothing I can't get by having google gesture search & gesture bar installed; Stock dialer's fine for me and I have over 800 contacts. (facebook, twitter, Gtalk, last.fm, phonebook)

Gesture bar's intuitive too; so you can say G for example and if you've used it previously for grandmother, then it'll bring it up with just one. Quite sweet.

Saying that the stock dialer's crap though is kind of over the edge IMO, it's simple, usable, just like most of the default apps. That's why the market exists: for improved functionality. For the general user; stock's fine. For more advanced needs; see the market.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
The address book has the drag bar on the right where you can get to anywhere in a second with just a drag of the finger.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
So you're saying the stock dialer is fine for you but you dont actually use it except to tap 10 numbers and hit dial right? Not that you could do anything else with it but thats actually kind of funny.

It remains that you compare things with similar things and then make an objective determination about how something stacks up against those comparable items. Thats how I make a call on something. Isn't that kind of how its done? There is no dialer available which does less to my knowledge. Is it unfair to say the least capable tool of its type is crap? I'm honestly asking.

Dialer one itself is not the best dialer I have used. I had a better one over on winmo. The functionality was similar but it was more prettied up and had deeper integration. It is about the best I have tested so far for my usage on android though. I want to make it clear that I am not selling a dialer. My post from the start was that in my opinion that stock dialer is a turd and I want to use that shortcut for something else. Not a dialer one ad. This will be my last word on it since utilizing that shortcut is the real point of this thread. I will gladly respond off-line for those want to verbally *****slap me for being mean to the stock dialer.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Lol I don't even use the dialer application anymore, I just hit the search softkey - and type in in a small amount of the name I need to dial.. I've gotten use to this.

HTC does make their dialer application nicer than the stock Google experience, though.. I can really see why people would want to complain about this. HTC Sense for Android seems to have the implementation you people seem to urge for :/
[Nexus One General] mythamp:
Yes, someone please port the htc sense ui dialer for 2.2 :) would highly appreciate it.

With the inclusion of flash beta in froyo, is it possible to play a .swf movie or game outside the browser?

There are some flash games I'd like to play on the go without using data. I've tried downloading a particular game called Red Remover and opening through Astro, however I get the error saying "swf file type not found"

Any way around this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] time_shock:
if you were to try to create a shortcut in bettercut you would notice under Activities that there is a Flash 10.1 file selector activity of some sort

i haven't tried that out myself so perhaps you could give it a go and let us know :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
Hi,

Thanks a lot.

I made a shortcut to "Adobe flash expandable file Chooser" (the other one I chose fc'ed when I opened it.)

When I open this one, I'm given a bland menu of Audio files, Image files and Video files all as drop down folders.

It shows all my media of that type. I can't find my swf file though. It doesn't come under video, and I have too many songs and images to scroll through and find it (and I doubt it'll be in the other categories)

Any other suggestions?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxman:
you can publish the .swf to some server and navigate to it via the browser, there is a tedious workaround to play swfs locally (i remember doing it on the hero), i'll see if i can find it and let you know

dug through my past stuff and found this:

navigate to content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/example/file.html via your browser

see if it helps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
Seems a bit too much work to play the one game.

I wouldn't have a clue on how to publish the game. My only guess would be to open the game in Flash Cs3 on my Mac and press F12. After that I'd be stuck.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Hopefully there's a simpler way to do it soon.

Perhaps Adobe air which is supposedly coming soon could do what I want to do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxman:
i tried the above method, it works on the N1, but you have to use the browser as container. basicaly you are able to navigate to local swfs using this method
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
Could you give me some more details on how to do this?

I've type into my browser content://com.android.htmlfileprovider/sdcard/apps/rr.swf

Yet I get errors.

What exactly file are you typing in, and what are you doing to the. Swf file? Is it just the raw file, or have you published it or something.

Because essentially I could make a shortcut to the URL and change the icon and basically have myself a flash game on the go.

Edit: sorry about that. Just realised I navigate to the raw file with a .Swf extension, not HTML.

Works well! I would've thought this game be perfect for mobile. Though I can't seem to interact with it past the menu screen. It's called Red Remover BTW.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxman:
if the folder containing the swf is "apps" on your sdcard and "rr.swf" the file that you want to play, it should actually work

oops, just saw that you problem got resolved :) good to hear
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxman:
you can use multitouch to enlarge the content, then you will be able to comfortable hit "ok" and proceed to the game. best to turn to landscape mode. double tapping adjusts the content optimally to the screen
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
Wow, thanks a lot man. Gotta try a few more games, see if they work.

One thing I'm frustrated with is that I can't make that URL into a bookmark shortcut on my homescreen. It comes up with " This application is not installed on your phone".

Thanks anyway again :)

Edit: for what you said above, I've already tried. Hitting OK is easy, then hitting new game is even easier(the same with selecting a level)

Although when selecting blocks, I have to wait about 30 secs to a minute to 1 minute for my touch to take any action.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxman:
yep, not being able to create a shortcut of the bookmark is a bummer. i haven't played the game, but i know that quite a few flash games work wonderfully on android. my favourite is the bloody penguin :)

So today I managed to go from CM5 to stock to update 1 to FroYo; and on my SDcard I have it partitioned for 1GB of apps on the linux partition...

I didn't mind losing them all since I can get them all back via appaware; but I'm having issues moving them to SD as was shown in the froyo demo. The option's there in manage applications; but it's greyed out.

Any ideas as to why it's doing this/how to fix it?

I'm using the stock 4gb class 2 card that came with my nexus, and it's partitioned for 1gb of ext3 for apps2sd.

Tips?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinode:
I'm having the same issue.. my SD is 100% fat32.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack Everyman:
The installing apps on the SD card in FroYo isn't really A2SD. The developers of each individual app has to support installing their app on an SD card. That was mentioned during the day 2 keynotes. So until the developer of your apps enables that function you won't be able to install on the SD Card.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_master:
yea that's my question also,I also have partitioned my card, just tell me what config should I keep to store apps back to sd card in froyo.. or if there is any method to completely wipe all partition in my card, I am using 8gb card..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinode:
No partition needed, just wait for the apps to be updated to support it.

The GPRS transceiver in my 3 days old HTC Desire just packed in. Friday night it worked, Saturday morning, no more Internet connection over GPRS. Wifi still works fine, so does all other aspects of the phone.

Everything has been tested to ensure the problem is with the GPRS transceiver. Same SIM card in another Android phone works fine so it's not a problem with the carrier or SIM. Another SIM tried in the Desire also does not work. Full factory reset has been tried, still didn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a common weakness in the HTC Desire?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gclough:
Hi all,

First and foremost, my apologies to all if the subjects in this post have been covered elsewhere. I've had this 2nd hand phone for only a week and I find absolutely great. I have spent the most of the last week searching forums and websites for information. Learning about new technology is something I enjoy thoroughly.

I can connect it up to my PC via USB and BT without a problem. It will connect to my WLAN without a worry. I will probably have more questions on those subjects later.:o

The 3 main problems I have are to do with are (1) the SIM Manager and (2) the speakerphone volume.

The SIM Manager problems are to do with:-

(a) duplicate entries after copying SIM contacts to the phone,

(b) not being able to choose between SIM and phone as to which contact list to use and

(c) not being able to edit those phone contacts on my PC like I could with Nokia's PC Suite.

(1) As far as (a) is concerned, I used "Kaiser SimFix" as suggested elsewhere in these forums and it worked a charm until I turned the phone off. It then went through the process of updating itself. After the update and seeing "UPDATE SUCCESS" at the end of several lines of tasks I found that I had to remove the battery and put it back in after a reasonable period (and yes I do know about powering down such things and waiting for the system to drain residual power) and found that the system decided to do a fresh install of the OS and everything else. Consequently, I lost all my settings and the "Kaiser SimFix" CAB file and it's effects. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

In regards to (b) is there any solution at all?

As far as (c) is concerned, is there any software out there that will let me do this?

(2) In regards to the speakerphone volume, I have read about several registry hacks here and there that seem to have some effect on this problem but I don't think this is a viable solution as, from what I have read, if you turn the phone off you have to do the hack again. I don't want to be doing this all the time.

Are there any permanent solutions to my problems anywhere, other than buying the latest and most expensive of the new toys (which I would do if I had the money :( )?

Cheers and many thanks in advance for any answers.

Graeme
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
There are several solutions to your problems.

Get advanced config (do a forum search) or sk tools (commercial, google is your friend). Both provide settings whether to show sim contacts or not.

You can synch your contacts with outlook and edit them there.

There is a software floating around in the xda forums to improve speaker volume. Once again a search will help.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gclough:
Hi altae,

Thanks for the qiuck reply.

I downloaded and installed the "Advanced Config" CAB and all went well until I went to launch the program itself. I then got a message saying I need to update my version of the .net framework. Am I correct in saying I'd have do that first? If so, how and where?

As far as using outlook is concerned, for private and personal reasons, the only M$ software I will use are there operating systems. If I had any experience using another type of OS I would probably go down that path, but I don't, so I won't.

I'm having trouble getting the Windows Update program on my X1 to do anything, and yes, I am connected to my wireless network and can surf the net from the X1. Update just sits at the checking screen and does nothing.

Where do I go from here?

Cheers,

Graeme
