I have my google calendar synced with my Desire. No problems there. But is there any way I can move an appointment from one date to another?

I can't seem to find how to do it, and you can't drag it, so it seems the only way is to delete the contact, then recreate it on another day, which seems to be a bit of a drag.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ta.
[Desire General] msetten:
Just click on the appointment in the calander, so it shows you the details. Then press the Menu button and choose Edit. Change the date there and save it.
[Desire General] scutworker:
Thanks, but I don't see 'edit' when I press the menu button, only 'add reminder', 'delete event' and share 'vCalendar'
[Desire General] ferus:
That's strange. My menu key displays (among others) the Edit option as well.
[Desire General] scutworker:
This is even stranger...after updating with the new T-mobile update the other day, the 'edit' option has now appeared!

Oh well, problem solved I guess.
[Desire General] obones:
Hello,

As many users, I've experienced the problem that when the desire is in my pocket and I receive a notification, the screen gets accidentally unlocked and the phone starts doing things that I don't want it to do.

I know I can add an unlock pattern so that it won't unlock as easily but this is at the expense of me having to enter it even in situations I would not have needed it.

So I thought that maybe we could use the proximity sensor to tell the phone to never unlock the screen if an object is close to the phone.

Quickly looking at the android docs, it seems that the support for this is in the SDK, but I was wondering if anyone had created an application that does this.

If time permits, I might even have a look at doing it myself, but as I'm very new to Android development, it will take me quite a long time to get to a usable state, hence my question about an existing app that does this.

Regards

Olivier
[Desire General] obones:
Well, I created an application that respond to the proximity sensor events, but I can't seem to be able to disable the screen like the call application does.

There might be some undocumented methods but I would very much prefer a supported API.

Does anyone have any idea?

Hi, I want to do a little round up of what the best World Cup apps are for Android, so I figure I should ask which you're using or going to use over the next month or so?

Myself I quite like the look of World Droidcup.

I tried 3 apps: DroidCup, WC 2010 FotMob and Goal.com.

I think Goal.com is noticeably better than the other two, as it has the most rich content for live updates, lineups, player info, etc. It also will be useful after the World Cup is over to follow any major league and Champions League.

I posted Goal.com Android app review (with screenshots) at my blog: http://www.bongizmo.com/blog/goal-com-android-app-review/

Hi.

Can somebody confirm, that after 1.21.405.2 icons in folders expanded and now in folder there is only 4 rows instead 5 rows (before 1.21.405.2 update)?
[Desire General] doggie123:
Hmmm you might be correct on that one, but I'm not sure.

And if I remember correctly there were also 5 icons on every row? Now this is certainly 4 as well.

So maybe they changed Folders from a 5x5 layout to 4x4 - just like home screens.

A challenge for whoever hasn't updated yet: please supply us with a screenshot of a Homescreen folder chock-full of apps!

And while you're at it, proceed with the update and then do another screenshot :D
[Desire General] El Massman:
Just had a look, it's 5 across, 4 down before the update. I don't plan on updating though since I'm using a debranded phone. Hope that helps clear things up.

Marc
[Desire General] vukis:
I liked 5 rows. Shame on HTC for decreasing row count.

And i hate programs sorting in folders. Even if I sort them manually it resets after a while and sorts program in unknown order.

Well i think I`ll use some kind 3rd party app to manage folders/labels, but IMHO it will drain my battery more:(
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
This is a bit of an odd question, but please bare with me here.

I'm writing my thesis for the uni about C#... with the recent release of VS2010, I thought it'd be great to focus on this IDE and the new features it offers and put those in the thesis as well. I ALSO had an idea to show that one can write apps for mobile devices using C# (duh, but all's fair in the academic world :D); I own a HD2, so being able to whip out the phone and show the app working would be a great way to blow some academic minds (well, not really, but I think it'd be nice).

However... VS2010 doesn't support WMo 6.X, which is a serious bummer. There are some rumours that an SDK will be released, but if and when that will happen remains a mystery.

So this leaves me WMo7, which has already been ported to HD2. However, it seems it's not public just yet. And besides not being public, WMo7 will supposedly only allow apps to be installed through MS store... so I have no idea if it'll be possible for me to write an app for that OS and actually use it (it won't be commercial in any way and 100% useless for 99% of people, as it only serves as a live example for my thesis).

To summarize:

- Is is possible for a "basement-programmer" like myself to use WMo7 to show off my own apps without the use of the MS store?

- If so, where could I get my hands on WMo7 for HD2?

- If WMo7 is not available to us mortals, could someone tell me roughly when a public release will be available?

- Or perhaps the whole idea is pointless and I should just develop my app in VS2080 and show it off with the HD2 that I currently own? (It's will be a simple app that connects to some database online without being limited to MSSQL and does something with it, where "something" is yet unspecified)
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
developers should be able too install apps without going into the store like it is on wm6.5 atm.

its not available.

assume currently it wont be available for the HD2, if it is then it wont be available until a few months after the release of wp7

maybe ;)
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
Despite the fact that WMo7 has already been ported?

I actually meant using VS2008 BTW, typo...
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
AKAIK it hasnt, there is a rom available but it doesnt run on any current device since its a beta rom for an unreleased device.

there is a chance they may get it working on the HD2 or some other phone but its not available currently.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
So... the whole thing about W7 having been ported to HD2 was just a rumour? :confused:
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
I am not sure where you heard that winmo had been ported too hd2? is a link available.

I have just checked Da_G's twitter account and he is still working on the port, he has developed several new tools too help him but is struggling to get some stuff to do with the JTAG controller.

there is a hd2 application which attempts to reimplement some of the functions you can see in the wp7 promo videos but this is not a port it is just an application that looks like wp7.
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
write your app under 2008 and for 6.5, there hasn't been any word from the source of that rumour for months. C# code is very portable between 2008 and 2010, so don't worry about that. With a little work (can be on the order of hours) you can upgrade your code to 2010 and 7.0 if it ever arrives for HD2.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
uuum.. u can show windows phone 7 with a emulator on a pc.. and i think ms released the windows phone 7 tools to programm apps for it alerady..

http://developer.windowsphone.com/Default.aspx

dont know if its possible to just run the app without the market.. i hope it is, but really dont know >.<

and its impossible to port wp7 to the HD2 right now. yes, it already happened, but that version is very laggy and buggy, so its useless when u want to show it
[Desire General] ugmeme123:
Hi, where can i find all the planned updates for the desire? and is FroYo is really different than 2.1?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
HTC have not published any sort of roadmap for future updates, so your best bet is to go to your nearest psychic, and ask them! :)

And to answer your second question: Yes.

[Desire General] dgattenb:
June the 23rd ... thats the date we are all freed from 2.1.. LOLO!!

But then you have to throw Orange / O2 etc etc in the pot.. so to be honest ...

look on the forum .. and either get a new rom or wait till next year !!!!
[Desire General] Nickedynick:
23rd June has only been stated by a member on here - there's no guarantee that either him or the person he spoke to is telling the truth.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Unless the guy knew the iPhone 4 was coming out then ;)
[Desire General] boge:
HAHA.. this is funny... if it was true, Froyo update comes in the same time with iPhone 4.
[Desire General] ugmeme123:
Sorry im kinda lost in translation here whats orange/o2 and why will i throw it? Lol

So basically the 720p, divx playback is just rumors?

So htc will just give us froyo then discontinue the updates and support?:o
[Desire General] Ric_the_Llama:
First, Google makes the Android OS, so they'll release 2.2 (Froyo).

Then HTC add their own front-end to it, called Sense UI.

Finally, Orange, 3, Vodaphone and so on add their own tweaks (and rubbish apps) on top.

Each of those additional steps takes extra time, so basically Nexus One users will get it first, unbranded Desire users will have to wait a while for the HTC version, then others will have to wait even longer for the network versions.
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
If HTC go on the offensive with 2.2 on the 23rd i'll be laughing evilly over here. tbh I think HTC need to get this update out as simply put Sales will fall. the race between the two companies will be incredibly close. HTC need to make sure it's best hand is on the table. and keep there core elements separate and upgradable on the fly.
[Desire General] dainesefreak:
HTC will just release another dirge of handsets and forget the Desire. Am I being cynical??
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
Nope,

but with an official, yes will update it, with a possible date i'm hopeful.
[Desire General] ugmeme123:
i see.. too bad i live in the philippines so i will not get the updates from the mobile ops in other countries..

so the divx and 720p are just rumors?
[Desire General] Nightstalker79:
I don't think you're far off with that assumption, my previous phone was a touch HD their former flagship model, it got one lame excuse of an update that did more harm than good, they kind of f@ck us over with the 6.5 update that brings a stable and fast build, gave some lame excuse about users not wanting an update anyway:mad:

That made me not wanting to buy an HTC ever again, if only the desire wasn't the best android phone avaible at the time and my contract wasn't up for renewal, I wouldn't have consider another HTC.
[Desire General] yabasta:
According to a post on official blog of Polish service provider ORANGE, HTC is due to release the Froyo update for Desire in August 2010.

[Desire General] Balos:
No. I just wish Id waited. Wanted Divx support and 720p. Well since I cant get that on Desire nor Iphone. I take the later cuz it is simple better.
[Desire General] jauhari:
We are only customer... buy and enjoy it ;)
[Desire General] Jasand:
The way I see it:

I purchased an awesome Desire my first HTC phone of many. I did not expect plenty of updates but do expect updates to solve issues.

If I dont get any updates then fine as my handest runs like a dream. I dont have any issues and dont need any solving (well only user error)

Surely good buisness is to release a new handset rather than offering new roms to exsiting customers. As long as problem solving updates are done im happy and surely you cannot slate HTC for this.

If you purchased a Ferrari and then they release a new engine, sat nav, bluetooth, leather etc you cannot expect a free upgrade as then you wont purchase the new model!
[Desire General] Vlad_M:
I'd call you a realist.
[Desire General] Balos:
Thats the other reason why an IPhone is better. Here you know at last that each year a new version comes out which basically looks the same. What I still call the most brilliant style out there.

I didn't get a Samsung spica just for the reason. Because it looks like crap. However desire was not as bad but still. I prefer the just one button deal.
[Desire General] Vlad_M:
Not only that, but older versions are still supported with firmware upgrades, which are immediately available. Yes, I know that not all features are supported, but that is hardware dependent and obviously necessary from differentiation point of view.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
You are right, when talking about a car. These items are all 'little details' to add to the car. The car itself is what matters.

But with the Desire and smartphone's in general, its a different story. The software is not a little detail, it is one of the most important things. Not to mention that the 2.2 update is necessary, because it brings some key features, like installing apps to SDcard. That's almost like waiting for the keys of the car!

Anyway, I just got a reply from HTC that they are releasing a list of the devices that are getting the froyo update and the exact launch date, when they get closer to actually releasing the update. I should expect it in H2 2010.

I really believed that they would release froyo before the end of July.. but I am starting to lose my hope.
[Desire General] JCB_Digger:
I don't understand all the complaints that the Desire isn't running Froyo - so why didn't you buy a Nexus 1 in the first place? It was released before the Desire and it was common knowledge that any updates would always appear first on Google's own Phone.

I bought a Desire because it does what I want NOW, not based on some 'pie in the sky' promises that it might run Froyo at some time in the future - I mean, it's not as though HTC covered themselves in glory with the Hero, is it? :)

If it bugs you so much, is it time to petition HTC to produce 2 versions of the Desire firmware - one of them without Sense?
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
Actually i read that htc will push the update soon since Verizon wants froyo on the Droid Incredible, and since is the same as Desire, also the Desire will get it soon.
[Desire General] alialo88:
Don't kid yourself that future iPhone updates will work on older hardware; that's not the way tech works. The only reason Android is "fragmented" is because it has a much faster rate of development; both in software and hardware (HTC).
[Desire General] :
Just root and download Richard Trips Froyo rom, it will be better than anything HTC will bring out;)

JD
[Desire General] foxmeister:
That's very simple to explain.

How many phones have Apple released and thus support? Answer: 3, soon to be 4.

How many OSes Apple have to support? Answer: 1

Who is in control of the OS platform(s) that Apple support? Answer: Apple

Ask the same questions of HTC and you will find a very, very different set of responses.

In addition, and this is crucial, once you have an iPhone, you are in the Apple ecosystem. So, when you buy an app on the AppStore, Apple takes its cut. This means that they can still effectively make money from you on an old phone, making it worthwhile continuing to support it. I don't know if Apple still take a cut from the carriers on the plans sold with the phone, but they certainly used to.

HTC don't have this luxury - once the phone is sold, they aren't getting any more money from you until you buy another phone from them.

Dave

I know, its hard to keep up with them but at least they are giving us plenty of choices to choose from unlike certain other manufacturers.

Variety is good IMO. :D
[G1 General] mejorguille:
Well its not new hardware its just variations of existing hardware. EX: Nexus One:snapdragon, 3.7 amoled display, 512mb ram, and a few months later, Droid Incredible: snapdragon, 3.7 amoled, 512 mb ram; or the hd2 and evo: both share the snapdragon, the 4.3 inch display etc...

Sure, every phone has a few specific features that make it stand out (8mp camara on incredible, fort camara on evo) but the main hardware has been nothing new since the nexus, IMO.
