My brother is about to install a new rom. But he has HANDY SAFE installed on the SD card.

What would happen if he installed a new rom?

Would the application have to be re-installed?

Also, it is a legitimate copy of handy safe, would he be able to re-activate it.
[HD2 General] alucardunit1:
the program files will still be there just there will not be the shortcut to run it but i dont know how to make new ones but you can look through the files and start it from there.
[HD2 General] daemonfly:
Just throw a shortcut in device\windows\startmenu\programs (or a custom folder under that if wanted). As long as it doesn't install anything to the actual phone, he should be fine (i'm not familiar with the app)
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
Ok, If you have your EVO, I am sure you think it's great, but you are worried about the battery life.

If you are planning to get one you have to follow some tips to conserve battery

First thing to remember**

This thing has a 4.3 in screen and a 1 ghz processor, it also has 4G so that is more light and data that the battery has to use.

This will not last as long as an old flip phone but these tips will help.

Tips

Mail Sync

Meaning if you have a mail account on the stock HTC mail application, by default it updates every 15 minutes.

You can change that buy going to mail>menu>more>settings>Send and recieve> set download frequency. Mine is set to manual.

This means your phone will not wake up every 15 minutes and use data.

Weather and other widgets

As nice as the weather, and friendstream and my location widgets look, they also use battery. They have to keep the information up to date, so they are going to update when you are not using them. Make sure when adding a widget select the largest time for evey update, or choose manually. This goes for all of them.

4G

This is the biggest feature on the phone but their are myths out their about it.

Of course 4G over 3G is going to use more battery, but not as much as everyone thinks.

The key with 4G is if you get a good 4G signal, use it if you need fast speeds and don't have WI-FI.

But this is the key, if you don't have 4G TURN IT OFF!! That's what kills the battery. Your phone is always on searching and searching for a 4G signal that the battery only lasts 3-4 hours.

Think about when you had an old phone ans whenever you didn't get a signal it would search for it and get hot, and your battery would die in 2 hours because it kept looking for a signal, this is the same thing.

Screen Brightness

Yes, the screen is beautiful and bright, but the brighter it is the more battery.

I keep mine on auto, but for the most battery turn it to the lowest you can.

Settings>sounds and display>brightness>uncheck automatic brightness> and lower it.

Haptic feedback and sounds

These are very very minor, and likely to not have a very big effect on battery, but every little bit helps if you want. Turn off all vibrations and sounds from screen taps, keyboard, or the dialer.

GPS and WI-FI

This is also not very well known either, but my theory is if you are not using it turn it off, it will conserve battery.

If you have any more tips please include, hope this helps.

Enjoy the EVO!

NETFLIX--well now that we got flash I tried to stream a movie running 2.2 froyo and get an error below. Can someone confirm this does not work or can someone trick the system to see if we can get it to work. I know we got a 1ghz processor, can we trick it to think we got 1.2????
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
It (i would think) has nothing to do with the proc speed and everything to do with the user agent your browser is sending. Can you change the user agent on stock browser in froyo? (i just switched back to CM couple nights ago so can't check). In the browser in CM, at least, if you hit menu, settings, there is a drop down for user agent. I'd bet either desktop or ie6 would do it.

I never tested flash on froyo with other browsers, but for some reason I think I recall reading it worked with dolphin or one of the other popular ones? pretty sure all the third party ones have customizable user agents as well.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] darkjedi:
Netflix also uses Silverlight for it's Watch Instantly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
The reqs from OP's screenshot mention firefox 2, so surely there must be a non silverlight alternative?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] solidus175:
I believe Netflix uses Microsoft Silverlight not Flash =(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
As I pointed out above it says "firefox 2 or higher", and also just noticed mac requirements. There has to be a flash alternative as well...

Edit: apparently you can get silverlight on mac as well... Who knew...

Tho the silverlight plugins for FF are for 3.0+ I *believe* so either 2.0 or higher is a mistake, or there is an alternative, or i'm just completely wrong? hahahaha.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ced 8525:
thanks Gimp...i got farther...now like darkjedi said can you install Silverlight on nexus?? I also search and found something called moonlight which is open source...wonder if someone can make a plugin for our browser. i think this can be accomplished but i am not a technical person.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DDM123:
Linux nerds have been trying to get Netflix streaming working since it premiered. It's not gonna happen due to DRM, at least not until MS releases an official plugin for Linux, and only then might we see it pop up on Android.

Sorry.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ConstantineXVI:
Not gonna happen. All you can do is wait till the official app peeks it's head out.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stonew5082:
one thing's for sure, the 'requirements' above mentioned have nothing to do with flash, its about processing power and silverlight requirements. netflix was recently seen streaming on a jailbroken iphone (hackingnetflix.com) so it shouldn't be long!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] davehasninjas:
Hey guys, I changed my UAstring by typing about:debug in the url bar and hitting go, then pressing menu and going to settings. I had set it to desktop and tried streaming netflix then, it said I still needed to install silverlight

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] myteematt:
So what does this thread have to do with getting a working Silverlight plugin for Android browsers?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zephyron:
so you can stream netflix on your phone through your browser? netflix requires silverlight
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Blueman101:
Sigh...

Netflix does not use Flash

Netflix uses silverlight

There is no silverlight for Linux and thus none for Android

The only thing we can do is wait for the official app.

The official app is in the works and will be released soon

Has anyone who ordered via EVP gotten shipping info or anything? I'm waiting for mine hope someone else is getting it today :)

Agreed. I just got my UPS tracking number within the last hour. No scheduled delivery date yet, but I'm fairly certain it will be Monday at the earliest. I'm kinda bummed, but on the plus side, it gives the awesome devs here time to refine their work. I'm hoping by Monday, we'll have a fully functional rooted stock ROM.

EVP bummed me out

Pre-ordered through EVP thought I would get it friday or maybe earlier. Turns out that wasn't the case I called a few time to see if my order had been placed they gave me the run around saying it had. I kept checking CC to see if a charge a been placed by sprint long story short, they hadn't placed my order to ship by 11:00am so I cancelled it, but before i did that i went to my local sprint store, did anyone elses store have food and drink for the customers? Anyway the nice lady at the sprint store used my info that was in the system from EVP order to set me up soooo I GOT A EVO ON LAUNCH DAY!!!! vs waiting til monday or later

Well, this is the best phone (almost) and could (note that word) be a world beater and an I phone killer BUT........................................

It has the battery life of an asthmatic hamster - ongoing

It screen locks after every call - SE now admits this is a problem............

Bluetooth does not pair with my car and the phonebook won't pair with my bluetooth kit - SE admits this is a problem..............................................

NOW I discover that I can't forward calls from my X10 to another phone.........OR CAN I? This is where you can help.

Despite these problems I do like the device although as a phone it is poor. As a mini computer it is good. I am now stuck for 24 months with something that had I done a bit more research I probably would not have chosen. My fault! Hands up! so I need to make the most of it. Bluetooth phonebook will be resolved with 2.1 in whenever. Voice dialling won't so car use is curtailed. Perhaps not a bad thing.

Battery life? Perhaps the next updates will address the probs. I thought mine was good until I used Google Night sky last night and the prog did not close GPS .... result - battery as flat as a flat thing, from the planet flat this morning..........................

Now as I often disappear on a mountain bike and take an old phone with me (to avoid squashing whatever is the 'best' phone of the moment) I press two buttons and divert calls to the other phone number....................................................er, not any more apparently.

Looks like dummy me has bought a phone which does not do all of the things I want it to do. Seduced by fantastic looks and great net connectivity.

A Blackberry is looking attractive.......................................

Help with the divert would be appreciated.........:rolleyes:

The real bug is the lock after call thingy - look what SE have to say:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzpatriot:
uuuummm what r u talkin about ? im confused , the eris is already rooted ,atleast if u have 1.5 u can root it or the 2.1 ota i belie ve u can too
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
I thought it would be obvious that im talking about the leaked versions
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
it's just attention has been diverted that's all. if all the devs were working on rooting those leaks I have no doubt in my mind it would have already been, or very close to being rooted, but as it stands, most devs already have root on their phones so they arent as focused to rooting anymore, just providing more things already rooted phones. I'm sure there are some more devso ut there trying everyday to root it, but without as many, or as much work into it, it's going to be quite a while to get there.

I was looking into it myself, until my trackball stopped working and I got a replacement phone, so I guess I could be to blame as well for this.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornbreadfarts:
devs are def. working on the issue. problem is, it's a no paying job.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
I dont get the whole point in calling Android open source software if they have to lock our phones so we cant do anything. if we screw it up thats our fault so i dont see the problem
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
Yes, I recognized that some are still working on it, I just said that attention has been diverted greatly. do you think releasing an ad blocker, various roms, overclocking, froyo, live wallpapers, aosp/jit support they were busy trying to root at the same time? of course not, you can only do so much at once, and attention to rooting has shifted greatly. have they forgot about it completely? hell no! they just put it on the backburners.

google and android being open source has nothing to do with it. it's the carriers who prefer to lock down the phones.

A to keep the general public out of things that could hurt. could you imagine any old lady picking up an android phone and overclocking and the SU app, and all the other tools were there? it'd either destroy her phone when she messes with it, or left alone entirely because she doesnt know what they do. eitherway? they become pointless to have on the phone.

B to keep users out of things that cost more money. did you know you have to actually pay verizon an extra addition on your bill to unlock tethering on the phones they allow tethering on? by having root, we can tether without them knowing on phones that don't usually have tethering and we can do it without paying for it. it's not exactly something they want going on, so they lock the phones down.

C safety. Having root access on our phone gives apps a lot more things to control, and with such, if anything malicious gets on our phone, it can do more damage on a root user then a locked down phone.

so take the nexus one for instance, if you bought that through google, not a wireless provider, it still has root on it for the first and last reasons I mentioned. to keep the general public out of things they don't need to be getting into/understand how to control. and with the safety lockdown, the average person who goes "oh what's this?" *click* on a malicious app doesnt get that chance.

it's not about keeping us out, it's about making the service providers happy, and keeping the general public safe.

google has put into android a very simple way to get root access for us all, it's the phone hardware (and their custom software additions) and the service providers that make it harder and harder to get into the system.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
makes sense, but safe from what? its a phone... it wont kill you

buttttt how would you go about getting a pre rooted nexus one even if you dont have t mobile and just want the phone?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
No the phone wont hurt you, just your pocket when the average person, who knows zip about what they are doing with a rooted phone totally bricks the phone and has to buy a new one, at full retail price. Or perhaps they load up a app that causes major issues with the phone, causing it to lock up/fail. again hurting the pocket book by having to buy a new phone at retail price.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I'm not trying to be a **** here but I'm fairly certain that when any of us load anything onto the phone we're aware of the risks it could bring, I would hope you went into this with the same mentality.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
that is what we are saying, anying who can make an account on XDA, actually, anyone who has even HEARD of xda is probably smart enough to not do any brick-inducing stupid moves.

I'm talking about the average person who doesnt know the difference between RAM and ROM here, it's locked down to protect them from their own dumb moves.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
thats exactly what im trying to say. if we screw up our phones that our own fault so i dont see why we should worry about others who brick their phones and end up buying new ones. thats their fault and they can deal with it

(now because i said that if im ever able to root ill probably brick my phone trying) karma sucks...

but still.

Yeah. You go into camera mode and there's a pulldown you can access (it's always on the side of the phone with the sprint logo). From within there you'll find a settings tab (along with a bunch of others) and it will let you switch camera source.

You can also turn off the annoying shutter sound from within there too.
