TuneSync. It's awesome if you're an iTunes user and don't want to re-home your library. It's a background app that will sync playlists over Wifi. Has OSX and Windows versions.

I'm really happy with it. Free version is limited to 20 songs per playlist. I bought the full for like $4.

It will also reverse sync any mp3's bought from the Amazon store on the handset. That's a pretty nice feature.

EDIT: Missing Sync looks cool, but it's $40. Syncs a lot more than music, but if you just want to sync music, TuneSync is your app at 10% of the price.
[EVO 4G General] gjgraf91:
doubletwist always freezes on me. I use Songbird to sync.
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
I use isyncr straight from iTunes

I've been using double twist which is almost as much of a dog as itunes is on my machine, but tune sync looks good, I'll have to check that out.

drag and drop doesn't work for you?
[EVO 4G General] TeknoJnky:
I haven't bothered to sync a bunch of music, I am mostly using Last.FM android app, but I recommend mediamonkey, just set it up as generic usb device

tho if you have lossless files, on the fly conversion requires the non-free gold version.

ITunes what are you kidding me?
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I like to lower the bit rate. What I play on my home stereo and my EVO are two different things.
[EVO 4G General] shaundalglish:
Windows Media Player can sync music as well.

But there's nothing easier than just drag&drop.

Screw iTunes.
[EVO 4G General] 06ms6:
iSyncr. Love making playlists on my PC in iTunes, easy to organize songs I want/don't want by checking/unchecking in iTunes. Isn't free but is very easy to use.
[EVO 4G General] norkoastal:
Amen.. Free from the beast!!! If only my shuffle could find a reliable replacement to sync music..
[EVO 4G General] hawkyman:
+1 I love this program.. Quick and easy
[EVO 4G General] andrew213:
I put the SD card into a reader & just added the music directly to the card. I think that is way faster than using a program.
[EVO 4G General] Grims:
Drag and drop works for some I suppose..But, I have over 15GB of music...and add to it daily. Some songs I may download on my PC..some direct on my phone through amazon...that gets hard to sync after a while.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
I dont understand whats goin on. While im using the phone the battery seems fine and drops maybe 2-3% while listening to 30 mins of music. However as soon the screen switches off the battery plumets, overnight it droped by 30%:confused:. What could be draining the battery this much?

So far this is what ive tried.

3g is off 24/7

wifi is off most of the time

Using Helix launcher

Using battery defender

use media scape every now and then

Timescape never used.

Brightness is halfway

Any tips ??
[XPERIA X10 General] FireROR:
check setting/about phone/battery use to see what app use up the battery
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
it says:

40% cell standby

35% phone idle

11% android system

6% display

4%media server

2% dolphin browser

not sure what it means though
[XPERIA X10 General] instigator008:
Your big one is the cell. Put the phone into airplane mode unless you need to be on standby for calls.

i thought 3g being off would help, but it hasnt lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] Phantasm4489:
2-3% in half hour is 4-6% per hour and say 30% overnight at an estimate of 8hrs is 3.75% per hour.

That seems a little on the high side but if you are getting a day or so of battery life with reasonable use then I'd say you are probably getting roughly around the same as everyone else (a few exceptions here and there claiming much higher figures but i have no idea about this).

I dont think you are going to be able to do much to improve it short of turning off your radio completely or disabling data for certain periods usin juice defender or similar. Can't see the point in doing this though - kinda defeats the object of having a smart phone
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
You must deactivate the internet connection, and then a soft reset :)
[XPERIA X10 General] GuestK00121:
Go onto my thread of how to maintain battery life and memory, while your phone is idle it has background apps running like gmail or google talk, i dont use timescape because of all the fancy screen motion it consumes way too much battery juice.

Got any more questions then just PM me :)

I actually have the TimeScape widget on my homescreen, BUT I have removed Facebook and Twitter and all the other internet-updated stuff, as I already have separate applications for them and hundreds of contacts I don't care so much about to see their statuses on my homescreen, and it doesn't suck my battery at all.

And it's nice to see the last missed call/message/picture taken at a glance!

Just go to Timescape, press Menu, Settings, and remove those from display settings for tiles and splines! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
What if i use gmail?

Disabling google talk only will help?
[XPERIA X10 General] element27:
GPS is what did it for me. After trying everything else I decided to try turning off the GPS antenna and yesterday was the first day I made it through with power to spare. Now my usage was a little less than usual yesterday so I'm still gonna be testing with GPS off for a few more days but so far so good, I think that did it for me!
[XPERIA X10 General] HyperionX10:
Do you use google talk ? If you keep yourself logged in, this could be an issue.

Also, I do a restart after each recharge. I found this to help somehow..
[XPERIA X10 General] yoshemoshe:
The phone is alway trying to sync. So you should probably uncheck

setting -> mobile networks -> MMS & Data -> turn off

Turn sync app off

Also you mentioned you display brightness is at 50% turn it even lower you will notice a huge difference
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
ive tried most things people have mention with no real change, im goin to reduce the brightness this time.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mobzter:
If your indoors brightness @ 10-15% is more than enough..

Id suggest trying adw launcher and maybe cut out the animation effects in adw settings and also in phone settings under sound and display! Lookz more slicker than original and for me lasts more than a day.

If u use mediascape mainly for music id suggest tryin 'meridian'.. quicker to use, nice music control widget and drains less battery!

Hope it helpz!!

This will probably be the craziest suggestion you will read. Remove the Timescape and Mediascape shortcuts from all three home screens.

I actually get just under two days of moderate use; where before I only got 9hours.

Just try it! :eek::confused::rolleyes::cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] Nocturnal310:

also...disable Gmail > Data Synchronization
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Well, this is a smartphone.

Disabling everything will transform it in a dumb phone :)
[XPERIA X10 General] piercewei:
i got the same issue as you do. i tried everything mentioned on various bbs, but it just didnt help. it is funny that i set the phone for my wife and it works very well. now im going to reset my phone to factory mode. hope it will help. sigh…

[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
I have fixed it I think. i had a look at my battery history in spare parts and found my phone spent 86% of its time running, 15 hours which means the phone never went to sleep. The only culprit I could think of was juice defender because it is on all the time. Now my battery went down only 3% over night.
[EVO 4G General] eninety:
can't make calls to other mobile phones, just landlines... both me and a buddy are experiencing this issue. Just get a busy tone.

This phone doesn't support ad hoc wifi connections? I'm currently on travel overseas and I can't seem to share an Internet connection with my laptop (connected via LAN) or iPhone 3GS (local 3G service). Has anyone been able to detect an ad hoc wifi network with this phone.

I can detect ad hoc networks with 3rd party wifi apps on the marketplace but when I attempt to connect, it directs me to the general wifi settings screen where the network is gone!!

Anyone else with this issue?
[EVO 4G General] rahb0sse:
Did you ever see that it was an international phone?
[EVO 4G General] grinchstyle:
WTF?? I'm talkin about a Wifi connection here buddy...lol. The EVO 4G doesn't detect or connect to ad hoc wifi networks. That's the topic...
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
while i dont know if it does or doesnt...i could believe it...because there is a few phones out there that dont - blackberry is one.
[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
The wireless tether app for Android makes it into an ad hoc device.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
But the problem is that it won't DETECT an ad-hoc device. Interesting. So if I had, say a hero with WiFi tether enabled, I wouldn't be able to see the WiFi with my EVO?

I don't connect to ad-hoc networks myself, unless I"m trying to tether something (the only use I can see.) Interesting that the EVO can't see them though, they should still show up..huh.
[EVO 4G General] grinchstyle:
Seems to be some type of security feature on the device (WiFi Scanner app detects) that prevents it from detecting ad hoc wireless networks. My PS3 also has the same issue. Just wanted to point it out the issue...perhaps we need to root to manually connect?
[EVO 4G General] radar5:
just to be clear, you're trying to share your laptops internet with your Evo?
[EVO 4G General] grinchstyle:
Yes, the laptop has Internet access via LAN and I am using the built in ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) Wifi Sharing on Windows Vista. Every other device I've had before had no issue detecting the network...I can see the access point right now on my iPhone and iPod Touch :-/
[EVO 4G General] grinchstyle:
Found this workaround:

http://www.soligard.com/technology/how-to-connect-htc-hero-to-ad-hoc-wifi-network/

I'll try this later and report back.
[EVO 4G General] faquedado:
I don't know if I'm experiencing the same problem but maybe someone can tell what I'm doing wrong. I rooted my phone by unrevoked and installed the Android-Wifi-Tether program. I've activated the program and it's sending out a signal. I then use my Windows Vista comp. to located it and it shows my phone as an "Ad-Hoc Network" when I connect to it, it says your computer is not configured for this. I'm not sure now what I should do, is there a problem with my EVO, or this something I need to do with the computer.
[EVO 4G General] tmidle8575:
OP you are absolutely correct. I actually was trying the exact example you stated. I had created an ad-hoc wireless hotspot/network via Wireless Tether App on my Hero and my EVO just plain did not see it. It saw a million other networks that were much farther away, but not my Hero that was right next to it. This is unfortunate. Hopefully a workaround is found soon.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
A lot of devices don't connect via an Ad Hoc network... which makes me wonder what its purpose even is :/ One reason I submitted the idea (true wifi hotspot) I did to the WP7 app contest.
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
This is what made me return my Archos 5 Android tablet and stick to my iPod Touch. :mad:

My scenario, i have a Sprint Treo and an iPod Touch (and iPad as well) and usually turn my Treo into a wifi router via wmwifirouter :p and use iPod Touch this way. Been doing this for years (with other devices too like the Nokia N800/N810), and wanted to test out Android. I got the Archos 5 tablet and was saddened not to be able to use my Treo's ad-hoc wifi. Back it went.

It seems that Android devices do not connect to ad-hoc wifi networks. Shame indeed. Also i think the Zune HD does not connect to ad-hoc as well.

Is it an O.S specific issue?

Does anyone know if VZW plans on releasing a desktop dock in the future. I remember a little while back someone posted a link to a .PDF that had all current/future VZW Incredible accessories listed and their model numbers, I just can't seem to find it for the life of me.

R.I.P Desktop Charging Cradle for the HTC Incredible

http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-incredible-desktop-charging-cradle.html
[Droid Incredible Accessories] qwho:
opens the door for seidio to go ahead and make one. Maybe they will.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] heffe2001:
As hard as it is to plug the charge cable in sometimes, I'm betting we'll end up not seeing one. That, and the inability for the phone to go into landscape mode on the sense desktops, and no way to automatically switch to desktop clock mode...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wintergon:
Yeah...this news sent me to the wood shop. I posted round 1 in another thread. One of the issues I have with landscape is that the volume controls end up being underneath the unit when its placed this way.

Cm 6 solves this problem. Allows for landscape both ways.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] JaydenR:
Froyo does the same.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] heffe2001:
I'm hoping that after Froyo for the Inc comes out officially, we'll see a landscape dock that works..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Oddity:
I really don't understand HTC and Seidio's reasoning for not building one of these. They say its because the charging port is in a weird position. How hard would it be to just make a dock where you slide the phone in from the right side? Like just have one side of the dock open. That way you can use all of the functionality of sense, and don't have to worry about losing the volume controls.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] krelvinaz:
I agree. I would prefer it to stand up anyway. The ones where you have to then plug in the cable are no good for me, I would rather just slide it to the left to seat it without having to try to plug in the cable.

Something like attached
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Oddity:
Yeah that's exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the illustration! It can't be that hard to design something like that. It probably wouldnt work with a case, but hey at least its better than nothing.

Heres a nice custom dock.. maybe someone with an account there should have him make the vertical left slider dock!

I want one of those.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] UgXvibe:
That is one that a member of that forum made himself.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] clambert11:
For those not following the thread, it looks like he's going to start making them to sell. I'm going to try and buy one when they become available. No word on cost but he's expecting them to be less than $30 I think.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Zomb!e:
Thanks for posting this. Can't believe I missed it. The dock looks great for a prototype.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wintergon:
I'd be in for one too. Much nicer than the one that I was messing around with.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] velopirate:
Add me to the list. I would buy at least one of these as long as the price was less than $50. At $40 or less, I would definitely purchase two.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] val1121:
ArgentTheReefer from Androidforums posted instructions on how to create an DInc dock from a Motorola Q dock. It took me about an hour to do it and it works great. Phone slides in from the right without having to remove the case. Since I can't post a link search for IncredibleDock on photobucket.

Nice, but a bigger picture would be great.

Thats not bad.. gotta get an HTC sticker to cover Moto.. :P
[Droid Incredible Accessories] val1121:
Yeah. I got this one from ebay for $7. Used a mini to micro converter

inside instead of a long micro USB cable. I literally used a pair of scissors to make the hole larger. So for about 10 bucks, I have a new dock.

I rooted my device only so I can add Hebrew support, but unfortunately I only managed to get Hebrew with an old ROM which doesn't support multi-touch :(

How can I add the Hebrew fonts (found here*: romraid.com/paul/bravo/r1-hebrew-desire-signed.zip) to the stock ROM or a custom ROM (like MoDaCo)?

Any help is appreciated...

* The forum wouldn't let me post the full link :( just add three w's in the beginning....
[Desire General] IO3:
Are there no tutorials for making custom ROMs?:(
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you have an Ad-Free MoDaCo account you can cook your own MCRr3 ROM with Hebrew in it
[Desire General] IO3:
The problem is I don't want to use the MoDaCo ROM, simply because I don't need all the features in it.. I just need Hebrew:)

Also the FM radio doesn't work in MoDaCo as far as I know so that's kind of a turn off :p

Thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Never use the radio - it's a phone!!!

You can just take out all the things you don't want - I don't use any of the MoDaCo bits tbh, but I also add in newer version of apps (Facebook, Twitter, etc) so I have it how I want it.

Other than that you'd just have to use a rooted stock ROM and add the update ZIP into it seperately
[Desire General] IO3:
Do you know where I can get a rooted stock ROM with latest version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nCoder:
Just a curiosity: Apple uses exactly the same processor as the Galaxy S in the newest iPhone!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Indeed. The processor was jointly developed by Samsung and Intrinsity (who was later acquired by Apple). So in some ways you get the power of an iPhone 4 with the freedom of Android. Sounds like a win to me. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thephawx:
Except we have a better GPU than the A4. SGX 540 compared to the SGX535.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] furstrated:
Yes the samsung has the sgx540 which is twice as fast as the 53x series but the A4 has vxd375 piggybacked, so i dont know if that will have an impact, maybe on the video capabilities of the a4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
......and a bigger screen! :D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bratfink:
iPhone 4 Killer

We all most probably (being on xda) see the android OS as far superior to what is now called the iOS4, for many reasons such as;

- True multitasking

- FULL customization (after 3 years finally being able to change wallpapers is a joke)

- Wide variety of free + good quality apps

- MUCH greater out of the box functionality (they have to 'jailbreak' to do anything useful)

But the iPhone 3gs' spec has been ahead of all android phones so far, even with its slower proccessor it had the advantage of doing 1 proccess at a time to ease the work load, and a VERY high quality GPU compared to the adreno GPU's build into the qualcomm proccessor. However finally someone has developed a android phone with amazing hardware, although unfortunatly samsung, this is deffinitly the phone to show the iPhone users what android is capable of, and for that reason alone i will buy it :D.

Does it really matter? The iPhone 4 is going to be smoother to use no matter what.

2. I don't want to lose anything from my current setup so how should I format my new card and copy over all my data from the existing one?

Thanks!!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscurek:
I don't see why you couldn't just unmount, remove, copy the entire contents of the card, install the new one and your off running-

I'm pretty sure you need to format the SD card FAT-32, not sure what block size. I'm guessing your probably going to want a class 6 or greater, and you may want to look into partitioning it (Swap partition? linux type? for better performance?)(I'm kinda looking into that right now myself).

I could be wrong on all counts though. Let me know how you make out- good luck. wow some of the 32G cards are more than I paid for my phone!
