[Nexus One General] Vandam500:
While doing this in 2.1 I got pretty bad lag. I was hoping Froyo would improve this but it appears to be the same.

While a app is installing or updating and I do something else in the process the slowdown is definitely noticeable. Once the installation is done, all the slowdown is gone.

Is this the same case for everybody? I thought the Nexus was powerful enough to handle something like this.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I get this same lag too, but it only seems to start happening in the last few weeks. Maybe I just never noticed it before. I haven't upgraded to froyo yet BTW.
[Nexus One General] Vandam500:
Yeah its a bummer :(. Its a little annoying knowing how powerful the Nexus is.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Bru034:
Will it be possible to use the hotspot feature without paying the so called 29.99 fee?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] andrew500:
PDAnet will allow you to tether, however it is for one computer only and involves some hokey DUN profiles if I read correctly.

Once Froyo arrives there is hope that Sprint will not disable the in-built WiFi capabilities.

Outside of that slim chance once root access is obtained there will of course be wifi.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tatnai:
sprint will disable wifi tether for froyo, 100% guarantee. wait for root.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wirelessness:
Once the Evo is rooted you can just run WiFi Tether for Root Users. This works perfectly on the Sprint Hero.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Bru034:
Thanks... I will wait it out. I am sure it'll be done rather soon after release, shoot there is already a possible root already.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xcom923:
I wouldn't worry about it. I'm probably the cheapest man alive with cell phone bills (I have ATT with unlimited data for 56 <_< apparently I use way over any kind of limit and I was grandfathered in with unlimited) I don't plan on using the30 dollar add on BUT I do plan to use tethering and since the Evo is already rooted and will probably have an easy method of rooting by the time the phone is released I plan on doing that then just updating to froyo when it is released (there are a couple tethering programs out there for rooted phones.)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
This is the important question though...

Will Wireless Tether for Root Users funnel just the 3g connection, or will it also use the 4g radio connection? I'd hope the latter, but am skeptical. From an OS standpoint though, I'd think it just sees 4g as another radio connection, so I'm hoping there's some grain of chance that it will work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrono:
I hope so too
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -viperboy-:
I'm sure they will include 4G support, but it might not be until a CDMA specific Froyo build that has WiMax support built in. Right now the EVO's ROM has 4G coded into it, it's not really integrated into the OS.
[XPERIA X10 General] brunswick000:
Just wondering if anyone knows where the "featured photos" that come on the X10 are located in the phone so I can delet them. I have Astro and I can't seem to find them.
[Droid Eris General] lutz2:
I like the predicitive text on the QWERTY keyboard, the eris feature where alternatives are shown for typed words, presenting an opportunity to choose the correct word. I enjoy using this when doing IMs in Google Talk, for example. This feature seems to be disabled in the default web browser on the eris, in 1.5 before, now in 2.1. The predictive text does not work in the search bar and it does not work in data entry fields in forms displayed by the browser, for example

Can anyone please tell me how one would enable this predictive text input in all apps on the phone? including the search bar for webkit and data entry on web forms?

<see last post for solution>
[Droid Eris General] lutz2:
There is probably a good technical reason for this, like somehow the input method is not known to the web browser application. Perhaps the browser itself is not consulting a system table for availability of this input method at run time. Maybe it only happens at install time? Is there some manual change that could be made to enable this?
[Droid Eris General] WalkingTaco:
I think they disabled it in browser because a lot of websites have names that the predictive text obviously doesnt know and when you type fast and hit space quickly it auto selects words which Id imagine could be quite a pain in the ass online.
[Droid Eris General] lutz2:
Thanks, You are right. I agree as to why they disabled it, but i think the way the feature works, it would really be more benefit to me than a hindrance.

1) Adding a mispelled word or one not in the dictionary is painless, editing this dictionary in the settings is easy too.

2) For activities like retyping stuff (like my email address) in data entry fields in the browser over & over; this would be much better with the ability to spell-check and remember words, especially when accuracy is critical.

I want predictive text in the browser. Why not a voice input option (like in the voice search applet) as well?

Can someone help at least give me the choice, I think these two input methods work very well.
[Droid Eris General] lutz2:
Solved - 2.1 enhanced HTC keyboard, with voice too! - link

This pretty much gives you voice and predictive text wherever you want it without sacrificing anything:

nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-full-voice-to-text-to-htc-desire/

Followed the "HTC Sense Style Keyboard Instructions"

Instructions were for HTC desire but this worked fine on stock OTA 2.1 Eris, not rooted.

HTC_IME_lo_25.apk is the one that installed okay for me. I was half-asleep at the time and I think the other version did not install right, but you might want to try again.

Enjoy!

i just got the hd2 and im new to the windows mobil operatin system im having troble puting on any home screans is there something im missing? im having the same issue with apps.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Welcome to Windows Mobile and congratulations on your new HD2 :D

I'm pretty crazy about my phone :)

Are you getting any error messages when you try to install something?

A lot of the apps out there aren't "signed" and so the unaltered operating system won't allow them to be installed. The necessary alterations to your phone to make this possible may (okay, will most likely) void your factory warranty.

On the bright side, the apps available for download through Microsoft's Marketplace should be signed and available for install. Flip side of that: most will probably be paid apps.

If you want to install anything on your phone, you will have to bite the bullet and install HSPL.

Hope this helps!
[HD2 General] xart13x:
how would i install the hspl on the fone ive been reading the trends and well it tells me thers a way to back up the original os so i can install it if a waranty issue comes up and well the market place apps suk lol i know this fone is more capable then microsoft lets it be its like putting a kid and a candy store and sayin you can only have dis but dont tuch that

You need to download Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) for your PC, it's the version of activesync that works on Vista/7.
[Nexus One General] kbeeveer46:
I'm getting fed up with T-Mobile's lack of coverage outside of the city limits. Are there any other carriers I can try with my T-Mobile compatible N1?

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] lance713:
You can put an AT&T chip in there, but it will be EDGE only.

Other than that I don't think there is any other choices.
[Nexus One General] kbeeveer46:
Thanks for the feedback. I actually went to T-Mobile from AT&T because AT&T was so expensive. T-Mobile is half the price (with more features) but service is worse. :/
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
In that case, you may be better of selling your phone and going for a Droid Incredible from Verizon or EVO 4G from Sprint, depending on your preference.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I mean you get what you pay for sometimes. Gotta take the trade off better coverage for more money.
[HD2 General] Gronk_n_Skank:
Can't view web pages from history in any browser.

Details:

I used to own the HTC 8125 and never had a data plan (and don't and won't now). I would go to a wifi hot spot and download a bunch of web pages for later use when disconnected. I would just go to the history in IE and could view and read all the pages from there using the IE that came with the ROM. This was a great feature that I can't get to work in HD2 in IE, Opera or Firefox (I installed fennet, which didn't work at all anyway).

Any ideas, workarounds?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] EclipseTouchPro:
I'm tired of all this andriod talk that you can have sky map or google sky map whatever... I want it for htc touch pro windows.... I don't like the boring ones I got I want to be able to move around and look at all the stars while the phone is being move...i dont want to drag with my hand thats lame and outdated...

more comments

less views please
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] josefcrist:
agreed. i want skymap too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hoolagan85:
indeed, if i possessed the knowledge or the will to obtain the knowledge.... this app would have been created long ago
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hartleyshc:
you would need a compass in the device to get that type of movement accuracy.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] t0y0da:
I know someone that has somthing like that for his android, just need to port it to wm.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hartleyshc:
and his android device also has a compass.

any sort of augmented reality program will not run usably on our devices. the gsensor just isnt enough. we can define y axis and x axis, but no z axis. which is what the compass does, it gives the device a control, a constant, a place that is always going to be the same. it can then use the other relevant info from the accelerometers to always know exactly how the phone is positioned.

run one of the xandroid builds, install skymap, and just try to use it. if youre some how able to get it lined up, and move VERY slowly, you might be able to get it to work. again, one small jerk of the phone, and you will be looking through the screen in a totally different area.

the only wm phone i know of with a compass built in, is the hd2. there might be another one, but i never heard about it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bobzero:
Sorry to bring up this old topic, but the Omnia II also has a compass.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hartleyshc:
Thats good to know.

Does the Omnia II have a capacitive touch screen or is that just the Leo?
[Nexus One General] wick12345:
I thought that was appart of the update? I don't seem to have that? Is it like the trackball that they released the driver/api and some dev has to make a app to use it now? I was hopeful for the transmitter more than a reciver but I guess I am a big dreamer ;-)
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
That was never confirmed to be apart of the update - it was simply speculation that evolved into false hope.
[Nexus One General] AndroidPerson:
Do we know for sure that the FM hardware exists?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Can you provide a link to where/when Google stated that it would be part of 2.2?

Bet you can't :p
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yes we do...

Oddly, an app called "HTC Radio Info" is in the manage applications, all tab. Not sure if this has already been discussed?

Anyways, it was never confirmed, just speculated upon. And if it is an API, then I am sure we will see something come of it in due time.
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
Well, I have been skeptical about the FM radio because of the chip name.

"Of interest is a Broadcom chip labeled Broadcom BCM4329EKUBG. Why? Well, the BCM4329 (albeit, without the "EKUBG" qualifier) is capable of 802.11n (HTC only lists 802.11b/g) WiFi in addition to FM transmitter and receiver."

The chip name is not the same as the one with FM t/r but has been said to have it, which is pure speculation.

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329
[Nexus One General] codito:
But the Nexus One DOES have a wireless N radio and you can connect to N only networks.
[Nexus One General] mike105105:
Yes, and in addition even if the chip supports it the fm radio section might not be connected. On these types of devices that have fm receivers they are usually wired to use the headphones as an antenna since an fm antenna is far too large to fit in the device. Ours might not have that much needed connection.

Mike
[Nexus One General] krabman:
IF we got it this would not be the first device I have owned that a supposedly not working/not connected fm radio module suddenly became a working/connected fm module. Not saying one way or the other but its absence is not absolute proof.
[Nexus One General] andrewpmoore:
Paul from modaco has managed to get it to tune into stations, but just not get any audio out.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
It has a precedent, though - update for HTC Touch CDMA (HTC Vogue) enabling GPS receiver that was unused until then, existing in Qualcomm MSM7500 CPU of the Vogue.

So it was done before. The question is - would Google bother or would they just skip it and leave it to the community (if it's feasible at all, given that Desire has the same chip and connections - which isn't confirmed).
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Thats what I mean I had a touch diamond NAM version with supposedly no fm because of some hardware deal and sure enough despite HTCs assurances that it could not be done the community got fm going after a time. I would bet there are other examples besides these.
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
Is there an option to use the front facing camera in the default camera app? I know it is less of quality, but it would be handy for use while taking self portraits with my friends.
[EVO 4G General] apristel:
Yeah you can. I saw the option in some video on youtube.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
yes, if you look at the engadget unboxing video, the camera source is in the settings
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
I took a picture for you. It's very easy, you just tap the "Switch camera" option basically restarts the Camera application with the new camera in use. Very intuitive.
[EVO 4G General] :
I really really realllly hope that I can use the front facing camera in Skype. If not natively then by rooting. This would be the major feature for me.
[EVO 4G General] kyleblakepeters:
iChat compatible app = win.
[EVO 4G General] nathan_sprint_adp:
Sprint HTC EVO 4G Developer Guide

Gday Guys,

Been searching the threads for the last couple of days, but cant seem to see the solution. Just wonder if anyone can help.? I had to complete reset my HTC HD2 after loading some software that screwed it up, everything seems to be fine now apart form email...

I am trying to add a hotmail account, but its not doing what its told to..lol.. this is what ive done so far:

1. Bottom slider to email tab (as i dont av hotmail set up, there is nothing on this tab apart from "no mail account, tap to add a mail account".

2. Tapped "add account"

3. Tapped "Other"

4. Inputed the said email address (@hotmail.com) and password, ticked save password

5. Then pressing "next"

Now, this is where it goes wrong, for some reason it is sending me to the windows live page......where as before i had to reset my phone, all i had to do was go to the email screen, hit menu then send/receive, and it would deliver all my emails to my email screen...

Its really annoying that it sends me to the windows live page. Does anyone knows why this is happening..?? i think it might be to do with my proxy settings...??:confused::rolleyes:
[HD2 General] wills7802:
For anyone else who has this problem, pse do the following, and it will sort this annoying problem out...

DO EXACT AS I SAY AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DELETE IT.

Tap the Windows flag, and select the "Windows Live" program..

Tap menu.

Tap Account Options

Tap Switch Account.

Tap Yes

And you should now be at a screen to accept an agreement!

You have now taken Hotmail off the HD2!

BY THE WAY, THANKS TO DAYRON24 for this solution:

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
in post 1 step 4 put your email address as "hotmail.not" or something, doesn't mater what so long as its not a genuine hotmail domain so the phone won't start the hotmail wizard.when finished, do send and receive and then edit your email address back to correct hotmail.com
[HD2 General] bramgg:
just download and install Windows Live from marketplace, and tick the box with "synchronize-email", this will automatically give you another e-mailaccount in sense.
[HD2 General] wills7802:
Thanks guys,

All i did to rectify this problem was follow post 2, and it worked perfectly, i tried before to input a different email using @hotmail.con or @notmail.com etc, but for some reason when i changed it back to hotmail.com, it still took me to the Live website, bizarre, but anyway all good now.

Thanks again

Mark:D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
glad you,re sorted.

I should have added that you have to edit back the email address from wm email settings, not the htc email wizard.

my bad.

I was in a restaurant tonight in Vienna, VA tonight and was messing around with a friends Droid and another friends iPhone 3GS. I thought I might as well do some 3 way speed tests for the hell of it.

This pic represents a decent average of what all 3 phones were getting. I did several tests and this is about what they all consistently got.

Also, when I was in a different location, I got 3261kbps down, 1306kbps up ;)

Supposedly Vienna has HSPA+ live, but who knows.

I got a generic HTC Desire from ebay that is running on 1.21.405.2 but I wanted to flash it with the Asia ROM 1.19.707.7.

I've created a goldcard (which I discovered that it is not required for Generic phones) and tried to flash it by the HTC method but I kept getting a Customer ID Error.

The question is - if I root my phone first, then unroot with the Asia ROM. Will it work?

Or is there an easier method? :confused:

Any help appreciated. Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Andrizoid:
CLOSED

I'm proud to present a CyanogenMod Rom on the Eris, White Widow, ported from DarchDroid by Darchstar.

Cant shut me down :cool:

This is only a beta, and therefore has a few issues to work out. the main one is the boot. As of beta 3, you have to flash it over either a nand backup of 3.1 or the actual flash of 3.1. I am not allowed to distribute 3.1 anymore, so for those of you who didnt get it earlier im sorry, do not flash as it will bootloop your phone. also to those who do have 3.1, DO NOT WIPE! Wiping will also cause a bootloop.

To fix the no service bug, download the attatched zip, and exctact the build.prop to your sdk/tools

run these command to pop it back into place

adb remount
adb push build.prop /system

then reboot

Beta 3 Rereleased!

Limited Time Release, 4.0 beta3

Stripped down,very limited release. Just wanted to give you a small taste of what I've been working on. This is far from being the final release, but I promised a sneak peek. So far it is functioning and stable.

WORKING FB INTEGRATION

GPS

You must install googleshits to use anything than the other basic functions. Save the file to your SD card, boot to recovery and flash the googleshits .zip file like you would flash anything else. it is an update script.

For those interested in DarchStars new kernel with BrainFuck Scheduler- First Ever Release On Eris! :eek: -download and flash the update zip included at the bottom. No wipe needed.

I encourage you to look through the settings for all the new options, things like integrated wired tethering, setting custom messages on your lock screen, and 360 degree rotation are all under there, theres too many new things to post though so take a look and see what you find.

Thanks To

Punk.Koas for his kernel

-thanks to him we have OC and multitouch

Hero CDMA Devs for getting this on the Hero

Mak and Zippy-Man for the MMS fix

Anderwebs for his ADW Launcher

Conap for hosting!
