3. Android Market is SLOW: Why is the Android market like 500 times slower to start a download than my old hero?

Download appbrain from the market then you can use the appbrain.com site for apps then sync to your phone from your pc.

That site is faster to use than the market place

#1 Compared with Milestone's screen? Nah, I will take HTC Desire any day.

Oh yes, I saw and played around with my friend Milestone and I still convinced my HTC Desire screen is much more nicer. The black is really black, this is the advantage of Amoled type of screen.

#2 Probably you have a point here, but not for me. I use pouch which I pull my phone from bottom :) That's why I don't want to accidently push that bottom hardware buttons.

#3 This depends on YOUR internet connection and the Android Market LOAD at that time. It can slow sometimes, but not that slow (3 - 4 minutes?).

#4 Optical trackpad is much better!

#5 Again, this could be true (pinkish screen?). But not with my Desire

#6 Huh? First time I heard this.

Well, I do have 1 think that I hate (really!) about HTC Desire / Android.

The "mobile internet" does NOT work always! Most of the times, the data connection is connected (I saw the 3G icon or H), signal strength is excellent (3 or more bars), but NO data traffic (cannot access internet).

I don't know if this is HTC Desire problem OR Android OR mobile operator.

I tried several tricks like toggle flight mode, not using data connection widget, manual APN entry, RESET APN to default, etc. No luck. Sometimes, the mobile internet showed "Turning on ...", but it did not turn on (waited couple of minutes).

I just did hard reset couple of minutes ago, it looks OK now, but I should see more days to come. I also will

not

use kind of app like 3G watchdog, automatic profile setting (after hard reset)!

I also in a process of moving to other mobile operator.

Again, I really really hate this ... mobile internet works intermittently :(

A lot of users are experiencing this issue:

There is a post on here about fixing the wake on buttons. Did mine last night and now have the menu button wake the phone and then press again to unlock! :D You have to be rooted though.

The only problem I have noticed with the screen is reds. They are really illuminous pink! :cool::eek:
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Hi everyone!

Sorry to wake this thread from the dead, but I'm thinking about getting a Desire, and coming from a Milestone, I'm really worried that the pentile display thing will be a deal-breaker, because I have pretty good vision and usually read with pretty much the smallest possible text sizes.

I do my browsing in Landscape mode, zoomed out completely. On the Milestone, text is still clear enough to be legible without eyestrain... I read eBooks in the same manner.

Any thoughts? Will my eyes start watering after a few hours? Or is it going to be a minor adjustment?
[Desire General] noxide:
Safest bet is to see one in person of you can . For me personally I cannot notice the "issues" others in this thread talk about and I am picky when it comes to screen displays. I admit being concerned when I read about the pen tile issue before I got the desire, but its been nothing to worry about my experience.
[Desire General] ahbao:
You can install Unlock to wake up the phone with any hardware button. You lose the lock screen though
[Hero CDMA General] thatguythatdid:
So i got one phone with stock ruu on it and been looking at ways to customize it. I tried a couple different launchers and somehow managed to overlook this one. It's called zeam it's pretty bad ass it's light weight and fast with both the left and right buttons both customizable. It has the ability to have up to nine screens and still move fast. of course my favorite function landscape mode that actually turns in less than a thirty minute wait like some other launchers. I know I sound like an ad but I'm in no way affiliated with these guys. It's downloadable from the market and here's the xda page
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
HOLY CANOLE!!

That looks cool!
[Hero CDMA General] thatguythatdid:
And it's fast as all getup (hmmm what is an all getup)
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
Doods, I've been talking about this launcher for weeks! It's like I'm not even here... :(

I tease! Seriously, this is my favorite launcher bar none. AND it plays very nice w/ jit and oc.

Bro I know the feeling. I was working with this dev on rooting the phones and he was having me try stuff that I had posted eventually I was like dude you should really check out some of my posts:D

[Nexus One General] neok44:
i apologize if this has been posted before but i can't seem to find any information on it.

I just recently updated to 5.0.6. (yes i know 7.1. is out but iwant to wait for a black bar mod before i update)

And i started having some really assy issues with the market. all this is on wi-fi as well.

First off, is that it takes a long ass time to load. 20+ seconds where under wi-fi it normally takes maybe 2-3. Then sometimes it randomly reloads for no reason.

when i try to search for things it sometimes takes up to a minute to search

And when i go into downloads, it dosn't load or show anything. the one time it did it showed me as having all my apps, but not downloaded.

However, when i go to install something, it allows me to see my downloads but then it gets stuck on installing even though the statusbar shows it as being installed completely.

Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? I already tried uninstalling the updates and cache. no change at all.

*EDIT* just updated to CM 5.0.7.1 and the same thing. any ideas?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hugojungle:
Very Basic Question

Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...

Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?

So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?

If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Hugo the JungleDyret
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Steve0007:
Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).

thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] xacsx:
hy,

you dont need to unlock your ext-rom.

use the total commander with path >> extended_rom

now you can copy the content of your extended rom.

if you want to write to it, sorry, no way. if you want your own extended rom, you have to use an extended rom kitchen.

unlocking the extended rom only makes trouble with your device...

So guys, I didn't want you to wait more days so I am just releasing current state. So far this build seems to be the one I will work on as it runs fast.

My wife's sitting in my neck last days cause I was sitting too much in front off my netbook.

Anyone wanna help me?

As I said it runs very smooth. Just try it for your own and give me feedback

Important:

- This release runs fast but keep in mind: When first booting it. Don't touch your device the first 10mins after it has booted into Android cause it will execute a script and do optimizations and therefore be slow. Next boots will be fast and also device will be fast.

If anyone would provide me with Linpack Benchmarks I would be grateful

You are responsible for everything what you do with your device. Don't blame me for not reading instructions carefully. It works when you know what you are doing. read thread posts

Installation:

Like the last EXT2-builds: Use my Haret-Paket. You may download latest on my Homepage.

Installation Instructions

Download latest Release here

Report Bugs here

Wishlist for next release

Video which shows how I run LinPack and get a result of 3.6MFLOPS. When overclocking I get 4.04MFLOPS:

Video

What has changed in the latest Build:

- Removed uneccessary apps

- Replaced Launcher with ADW Launcher (screenshots will follow)

- GPS works now

- Updated apns-conf.xml

- some other smallies

- you will have to use an app called "Quick Boot" for correct powerdown / reboot (go into Market and download it for free -> will be included in next release)

Known bugs:

Setting ringer volume only works with up/down buttons when changing ringer

Camera does not work

Battery draining

Google Mail ?

Reboot procedure (see Hint above)

some smallies (please let me know in Bug + Wishlist)

This should work on your device. Diamond Users get it running. Anyone get it working here? It's based on XDAndroid rootfs + kernel. So it should work. Maybe an experienced user wanna try it?

You may follow main-thread in Diamond-section of XDA-Developers

Wow...

Do you have some screenshots?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
i apologize but i'm a bit confused.

whats the difference between your build and any other 1.6 build?

i see you made it an ext2 instead of a sqsh but whats different in yours than the original 1.6?

as far as i know the development on the 1.6 is at the same place as the 2.1. same features minus those found in 2.1 and not in 1.6.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'd be curious as to what differentiates this build as well... perhaps I'll just have to wait and see for when you post it & I can run it and see for myself...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
I am rather curious, but you should have perhaps waited till you had more time to introduce a better post rather than confusing some people ;P.. (such as me!) Did you create a proper bootloader for the Touch Pro devices or what? Haha.. Sorry, I'm rather curious!

Re: [UPCOMING][Neopeek's ANDROID DONUT 1.6] ext2-filesystem - NoSquash

The ext2 can be made very easily from our sqsh systems. There is a program called staysafe that will do it for you in android. There is a thread for it somewhere on xda with all the needed files. It says that it is for cupcake and donut but I've used it in eclair without problems. Using rootexplorer, I needed to change to an ext2 system to get root accesss writeable. Worked very nicely. Only downside is the ext2 system is huge compared to sqsh. I want to say the ext2 was aroung 500mb.

it's available mostly from local telcos in Singapore

looking forward to ur reply

[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Sure, and once and for all, i will let Beards and company whether there is an LED flash. I seriously doubt that there was one.

Will post once i get my unit on monday.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
I bought it online @ the following link:

https://www.singtelshop.com/#
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
How do you buy it without a contract on that website singtel ?

because I can't seem to be able to find a link to buy it without contract as I don't live in Singapore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulofash:
ahh. cant wait! thanx in advance :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
You can't. That's a telco site, only sells locally with telco contract.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Yup, and at this point of time, only this telco has the tie-up with Samsung. Very similar when the Iphone is launched in SNG.

P/S: Our government doesn't encourage exclusive tie-ups on a permanent basis, which is why Iphone was later sold on the other 2 telcos as well.

P/P/S: I don't even know if this is the 16gb or the 8gb model, but then again it comes with 2 free gifts - 1 pair of "Super Junior" concert tickets and a table stand, whatever that is. :D

Super Junior is a all boy band from korea. I have seen people paying good money just to go to the concert. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zkillers:
I've checked the phone out yesterday. The screen is just awesome but i noticed that the Google Voice Search function is not available in the phone I've tested. There is no mic icon beside the google search box.

It would be a bummer if they have decided to not include the function. Anyone knows if the function has been omitted out in the retail set or that it is only on the set that I've tested on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Strange, several of the reviews have commented how accurate the voice search was.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
To add on, we have rules that doesn't allow SIM locks on phones, so it can be used with any operator. Expect to see many sets sold on the local market as all the girls ditch the sets because they're just interested in seeing Super Junior.

I'm not so sure about the tie-ups, phones like Milestone is still exclusive to SH after so long, as the Cliq and Backflip are exclusive to ST...of course, without sim locks, it really doesn't matter much unless u really want the telco subsidy.

It's the 16gb model. Brochures and launch party states it's only 16gb model sold in SG.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Is that the contact search they were referring to?

My brother has a Desire and when he loads Google Maps there's no voice search yet I have it on my WM HD2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
I think they have included it, because I have read that it is pretty accurate on this phone (somewhere...)*.

The new vlingo is pretty neat, though, and looks to be a lot more accurate than the standard Google voice stuff!

I quite like this guy's reviews: http://hemorrdroids.net/

He doesn't have too many, but he usually gives me the information I want to hear, and is concise (which I found a lot of the American review sites aren't!)

Anyway, his vlingo demo impressed me. :)

*edit: just checked, and gsmarena say the voice search is good on this phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s-review-478p8.php
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zkillers:
Thanks for the links. Yeah I've read the review on GSMarena before testing the phone. That was why I was surprised to not see the microphone icon beside the google search box. Anyway I believe some of the early birds will be receiving their phones tomorrow. Hopefully they can review the phone and maybe confirm any rumours.:)

The google voice search was'nt on my X10 but you should be able to download it from the Android Market "Google Search By Voice".
