[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kileli:
Did this work for you? I rooted a friends eris and like a moron he decided to try and take it in for service because his custom rom was crashing while i was camping. So now i need to return it to stock and tell him he is stuck with stock features.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnurzelat:
Hi,

i am using the German HTC WM 6.5 Stock ROM (5.2.21887) on my device. I have disabled 3G in the options. But now i have only GPRS, instead of EDGE.

I also own a HTC Blackstone (Black Dragon ROM) and a HTC Jade (Stock ROM)(both with 3G disabled). They show, that EDGE is available. The Topaz has Radio 4.49.25.91 installed.

I need EDGE because i am travelling to a country, where is no 3G available and i planning to use the Topaz as a Modem.

Any suggestions?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kyuzumaki:
I have to remember alot of phone extensions in work and want to have a quick reference link to view a list of them on my manila home screen.

I'm looking for an app that will let me quickly view a single page of text. Sort of like notes except without the need to navigate through any menus to view the text. I remember an app for the palm that worked like a personal wikipedia something like that would do.

I imagine this app exists but can't figure out which search terms to use to locate it.

Thanks for any help!!:cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reddevil00:
Hi all,

I am a newbie here and looking for good references on how to build a customized ROM for Nexus One.

From this forum and related sites, I've already known the following things:

- How to flash ROM using fastboot and bootloader.

- How to download and compile Android source code from source.android.com . By "compile", I meant successfully run "make" from downloaded source code.

My questions are:

- Where are the image files I can flash to my N1?

- How can I customize a built-in application, say Contacts, and include the modification into compiled images?

- What are the difference between system image and userdata image? What packages is included on which image?

I am sorry if these questions are already posted elsewhere. I tried to search around the forum but didn't find answers to my questions.

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 General] b14ckd34th:
please help me, why cant i play avi files through windows media player? do i need a codec?, and if so where can i find it?. i have been looking.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Get a copy of TCPMP (or buy CorePlayer). That's much better for playing pretty much every file type. Just make sure to have a look here for optimal HS2 settings.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkKrai:
Although I haven't been on the "scene" for very long, Ive noticed something kind of saddening/ disturbing. This dev forum is sort of fragmented. I know each device has its own ****, etc, etc. But if we set aside our device differences, I think we can achieve great things. It may seem tacky, and "happy forever afte"r, but if we get organized and serious and set the pride away until its done we can probably get something even greater done.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] binny1007:
Great things could come from XDA, instead its like bieng in high school. Its not a pissing match, we are all here for the same reson to make our devices the best that they can be. So instead of bi-tching lets start to work together. As a team, we are strong, and alone we will be defeated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djm25:
be like a company

i second this motion though im no more than a file pusher i would like to see /and be involved in building apps/roms/ect from the ground up ... like the cm team... we could work as a team just like the army is made up of different units the pro cooks and devs can make amazing stuff and the file pushers have the ability to sell the roms/apps like theaming and compiling to the needs to each useR like buissnes /media/gaming/or just a tricked out and reliable phone .... thou its just my opinion
[HD2 General] cx1:
Over the weekend I received a text from Tmobile stating I changed my account, If this was in error please contact us. Monday I looked at my account and find a $9.99 "Premium charge". with no explanation of what it is.

After a call to customer service it is explained to me I added MobiTV service to my account. Well, there is a problem with that statement. I do not even have MobiTV on the ROM I am using. I never even accessed the app once on the stock ROM

I was able to block this application from charging me in the future but this is total B.S. that I was charged in the first place.

Be on the lookout....................:mad:
[HD2 General] kwambewright:
i too have had a problem with them, got charged 7 times in one day for 9.99 a piece then the next again for 9.99. this for a monthly service fee?! i also never used or had that service or program on a rom
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
yes, MobiTV is a monthly-fee type service, the app is baked in to the Tmo US ROM. The first time you run it and connect, the app notifies you that you get a 30-day free trial and then you just get charged $9.99/mo after that, automatically. At least, that's how it's supposed to work...but judging from these posts, and the fact I haven't been charged yet even though it's been more than 30 days for me, I would guess that there's obviously some backend issues with how this is playing out in the real world ;)
[HD2 General] iBustCh3rries:
I just actually checked my bill for this before I read this message. I'm on hold with them now. my bill is already $219 I don't need to give them an extra 10 bucks :mad:
[HD2 General] rlee008:
i had the mobitv service running when i first got my HD2 but was very conscience of their fee and canceled on the 29th day without getting billed the $9.99 m/charge. they suck anyways... 99% of the content they offer is 4 minute videos or less... i can go on the web and find the same videos for free... in their entirety too... maybe if it was $9.99 a year, but a month, please...

but run the app just once & the 30 day counter begins... all HD2 (with stock tmo roms, 2.10/2.13) come with it installed so to say u didn't even have the app is bull and maybe u didn't run it but a friend of yours did, so they can watch tv, let's face it. we all wish we can watch live tv on our phones but we can't and we're limited to dumb apps like "mobitv"

rlee
[HD2 General] ramsyst:
There is a solution!

To stop them charging you, you to unsubscribe from MobTv.

1. Load MobTv app

2. Click on Menu and choose option

3. Select Subscribe and Click on the $9.99 subscription

4. A window will pop and you will see UNSUBSCRIBE

5. Select it and you done.

Hope it helps!;)
[EVO 4G General] Kllian:
Sprint is advertising to join their network and try their phones for 30 days. If you aren't happy you can get a full refund.

I've had TMo and now Verizon and the only thing that is keeping me from jumping in with two feet into Sprint is their network coverage in my location. So I'm wondering, if I purchase the EVO from Best Buy, how does the return policy work? Do I still have 30 days to try the phone and if I'm not happy am I able to return it?

I called a Sprint Customer Service Rep and they had no idea so has anyone looked into this?

Hopefully I'll get the phone, love the service and port my Verizon number over.

Best Buy has this in their refund info section.

Return and Exchange Period

You can return or exchange purchases within the timeframes below.

14 days for computers, monitors, projectors, camcorders, digital cameras, and radar detectors

30 days for all other products

45 days for all products for Reward Zone Premier Silver members
[EVO 4G General] sentra99:
As long as you dont break the phone. Best Buy will take it back within 30 days. Took back my hero/cancelled my line. Before my 30 days was up so i could get the evo. Had no problems returning at all.
[EVO 4G General] Kllian:
Thanks for the info, good to hear I won't have any trouble returning it but I'm really hoping the phone works out for me. I have Verizon $111/mo + ClearWimax $55/mo so this phone would save me a lot of money.
[XPERIA X10 General] jnd16d:
Dear Sir / Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre.

Currently we cannot confirm the release of Android 2.2 for the X10, any notifications with regards to this will be released on the Sony Ericsson website.

Kind Regards,

Mark Chapman

Sony Ericsson UK Customer Services

WTF！！
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
Really, you're surprised? What did you expect them to say?
[XPERIA X10 General] jnd16d:
i except them will sat 2.2 is on the plan .!
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
They don't announce plans that far ahead though. If 2.1 is coming out in December, then we wouldn't get 2.2 at least until around this time next year.

It would be nice to get confirmation for 2.2, but for now, just wait and stop whining.
[XPERIA X10 General] jnd16d:
you are right!

as a matter of fact,NO 2.2 FOR X10 this year i think.
[XPERIA X10 General] junexyz:
by the time 2.2 release my x10 is broken already need new one heheheheheh!!!!!

Don’t forget tech support are made by contractor, the person answering you probably working for a company, just sub contracted to SE so obviously they wont have any answer or cant give you one.

Android started a new wave, i would call it what the user want, the way he want it.

Other one like apple or blackberry are in the mindset me make what we think people want and need. Sadly Sony is one of them, but it doesn’t mean we as user cannot change it.

Cnrl, I'm not really adding to this thread other than to say i think the above comment is Absolutely spot on !

[XPERIA X10 General] ratedr75:
Spoke to a friend of mine who is at Orange today and he has told me the following:

1. SE have no intention of bringing out the 2.1 update BEFORE decemeber 2010.

2. Its unlikely that it will ever have 2.2 on it.

3. It is Oranges worst ever selling handset from SE and there is already plans to no longer sell it past October.

Make of that what you will, he works in handset testing and he showed me the circular email that all staff in his dept received for number 1.

[XPERIA X10 General] andy8271:
tell your friend to stop making things up :)

orange shop staff hear nothing like what your saying anyway. they cant even tell you what phones they are getting in next week , nevermind whats going to happen in the future.

the 'worst selling SE phone' comment is rubbish too. it is SEs best selling phone in a long time. in asia it has outsold every other smartphone and broke records. in the UK vodafone have sold a silly amount of them too. the director of SE has praised its sales on many occasions and called it an apple beater

thanks for your useless comment
[XPERIA X10 General] QuadESL63:
Just wait for it to be rooted...

To be honest, why couldn't SE just recompile the firmware with 2.1 + their custom stuffs from the current release? If they developed their custom interface stuffs with the standard APIs it should just be a short verification + debug efforts. No new feature is needed to be developed and tested.

I highly doubt that we will get any update beyond end of year '10... it is NOT in SE best interests to support it when they will release newer models Winter/Spring '11. Even Apple discontinued supports for their 1st gen. iPhones.
[XPERIA X10 General] Balur:
Q4 is October, November, December, so that matches Sonys time frame.

However I doubt the guy at Orange really has a clue what's going on. He is probably full of cynism, and has no faith in sony so is just giving the most negative information possible.
[XPERIA X10 General] m82a1:
people who work at these kiosks / stores hardly know anything about phones, they just work there. in a blue moon there is maybe one guy that actually follows the phone world

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
As some of you know, I have encountered some problems while developing this ROM. Some very bad problems actually. Even though I've managed to fix them, it's not enough for me. The only way we can all enjoy VanillaEclair at the moment is to use 3.0, which has the most stable kernel yet, but unfortunately I haven't got the sources anymore.

I will continue my work on the OTA updater, on the kernel, on the framework and on A2DP. Also, I want to improve the VanillaEclair website, so that it can be a useful tool for us all. As I'm working alone, I can't do many things at a time. So please understand that this little break has a good reason behind.

Below you can find the links to VanillaEclair 3.0. If you want something more functional, I suggest you try MaXo64's aHero 1.0. I really do understand that you need a functional phone, and I am exactly in the same position, since the Hero I'm using for development is my everyday phone.

The ETA of VanillaEclair 3.3 is Sunday the 6th. Please post here for apps suggestions, feature requests and wish me luck! Cheers!

DOWNLOAD VanillaEclair 3.0

If you like VanillaEclair, please help me buy a GSM Hero for Dev only.

HOW TO OVERCLOCK - noob-friendly tutorial with recommended settings.

Experienced users might use other settings.

1. Download OverclockWidget from Market (it's free)

2. Put the widget on your screen and make sure you allow it when the Super User permission request comes up(also check the remember option).

3. Reboot

4. Tap it once and select Advanced Setting

5. Check Differ Freq Screen off

Recommended settings:

Screen on: min- 691200 max- 691200

Screen off: min- 245760 max- 245760

6. Check auto start on boot and press save.

Notes:

- overclocking gives you a huge performance boost

- overclocking does not break your phone; it doesn't cause overheating

- overclocking will not affect your battery life(i've taken care of that)

Apps 2 SD FAQ:

1. How do I enable it?

It enables automatically is you have an EXT partition on your SDCARD.

2. Can I use EXT4?

No, sorry. Only EXT2/3 are supported at the moment.

3. What about dalvik cache?

Dalvik-cache is automatically moved on your EXT partition.

Battery tip

IF you're using VanillaEclair 3.1, you shouldn't need to recharge for about 3 days. If you can't get that much, follow the steps:

- wait until the battery is 5-10% left

- go to your recovery image and wipe battery status

- recharge your phone using the wall charger for 4-5 hours or so - you can leave it overnight

That's all!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
More about Overclocking(for experienced users):

In VanillaEclair 3.1 I've included a wide range of frequencies that you can use. Here it is - Overclocking widget gets it automatically:

I've been able to run at 806MHz, but the phone got VERY hot and sometimes unresponsive. The highest save to run in daily use frequency is 768MHz, but not all phones can go that far!

My Hero was bought in September last year, and when I use screen off @ 245760, I sometimes get a blue screen when waking, otherwise working fine.

Using 245760-480000 fixes this.

It seems the older Heros don't work with such low frequencies.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I don't know why so many people are having trouble with 245MHz, mine is set to 122MHz when the screen is off and it wakes up and rings fine!

I'm running a T-Mobile G2 Touch which I got in October '09 if it makes any difference... I can also take the top end up to 710MHz with JIT enabled and I haven't had a single random reboot. Looks like I've got me a solid handset!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arj03:
Games are a bit slow for me on this rom. I've tested Abduction.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jai134:
I have a question about JIT. Is it so that the video-performance goes down when using JIT? I am not shure but I think I had a higher GPU Benchmark score before I enabled it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
Yeah, in a nutshell, there are two kind of Heroes out there:

- Ones that can handle 710mhz. These are also able to handle < 250mhz sleep.

- The ones that can't :P. If I try to boot a 710mhz kernel it freezes before

the ROM tries to start. If I boot it at 528mhz and try to set it to 710mhz

programs will crash. Linpack can do 3 to 4 runs on 710mhz, but the 5th

will just close linpack without any message at all.

So a lot of people will report suc6, but the fact is that there are Heroes out there that won't work with those settings. So if a ROM chef wants a ROM that boots on all gsm-heroes, he will have to use safe defaults... or provide two versions of his ROM, a 'safe' one and a 'turbo' one or something.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jai134:
Then I will ask one more question. I have tried the MCR3.2 with kernel lightspeed. I used SetCPU to run it at 768MHz. It was kind of unstable but it was running. Can I use SetCPU on this rom to? Do I have to uninstall Overclock widet first in that case? Sorry. Two questions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joaann:
OverclockWidget not being preinstalled, you choose the program to overclock your Hero.

I prefer SetCPU and works good at 710 MHz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marius.szabad:
nice job

Nice job on the rom Radu.

NAS+JIT+Overclock @691Mhz.

After applying the gallery fix and set screen off to 245 min and 480 max, everything worked like charm. it did not try the bluetooth audio in may car though.

But, i don't know where the scores in linpack and such help. After i disabled all the animations and installed launcher pro, the switching between desktops was ok, quite smooth, but the rest like scrolling, keyboard are still jerky.

If you can iron that out you have a chance of having the best vanilla rom out there....and i tried around 4 or 5. Until then back to my sensehero with kernel 2.6.29.

Keep up the good work and all the best from the other side of the country.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jai134:
Thankyou. I will try SetCPU with it then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jai134:
With my install with lightspeed I could OC up to 768. Is it an upper limit for Radu's kernel of 710? It seems like I cannot set it higher than 710.

EDIT: I have a much more snappy and fast phone now so I don't need a higher speed but I'm curious.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furrypotato:
