lower values make it more sensitive, i have them both set at 20 and its nice and responsive, before it was set at 31 and 19

I dont understand why HTC didn't just use the Desire's keyboard. Instead just added really annoying arrows, and in result I find myself constantly hitting these arrows instead of the space or enter keys. Typing is a mess.

Well, no longer. Just wanted to let you guys know jonasl's modded htc keyboard works PERFECTLY. NO MORE ARROWS. YAY!

[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Trackpad? With a 4.3 inch touchscreen? I dont need arrows when i can just pan around the screen with my finger. But im coming from an iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Actually Swype was the first thing I tried. But its not for me. I can type fast using swype but faster on a qwerty. Also, I am constantly typing in different languages and sometimes I simply cannot rely on any kind of prediction.
[EVO 4G General] phinnaeus:
I realize this is kind of weird, but have you tried just using the Swype keyboard like a normal keyboard? for some reason I feel like it is easier to use than the other keyboard that way. And you could always practice with swyping, you might get pretty good at it!
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I did! But sometimes I move so fast between keys it actually thinks I'm swiping. Plus It would still try to "correct' words that were typed in another language into english, no matter how accurately I touched each button.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
You might try Shapewriter out. I believe you can add custom libraries to it, so you could add other languages you type in the same file as your English library.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
How is swype for dealing with words that aren't necessarily regularly part of the english language? I tend to use my phone for searching for device model numbers for example, and sense annoys me somewhat because it autocorrects words that aren't actually words but model nomenclatures.
[EVO 4G General] rotorwashed:
good, you can add words to the swype dictionary by typing it in and pushing the "swype key"
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
You must be really slow at Swype if you're faster with QWERTY. @_@
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I also like SmartKeyBoard Pro which is more IPHONE like for some.

But bottom line folks is that you have choices. If this were an IPHONE and you didn't like the keyboard what options for you have? That is the main point of arguement between the two camps.

Both have their good points and bad points. We are not required to buy either. We can go back to the Motorola Razr Ver(xx) if we wanted to.

If the new IPHONE had at least a 3.8 or 4.0 screen I would use my upgrade and get one to have. But I am very happy with the EVO and I look foward to Froyo 2.2 update that has everything working on it.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] kstar54:
Is it possible to have more than two modes in mymodes? I have a work mode, a home mode and a night mode. They are set to switch based on time, as location based switching does not allow for manual input of location, and there is a small overlap of time in the morning. I assume that is the issue.

It seems when you are setting the time to switch, you have to choose a default mode, which in theory works, but this does not allow for three modes. Needless to say, my night mode didn't switch on tonight.

Anyone aware of this, or have a fix?

Thanks

When you are in myModes you can add a new Mode, but make sure you rename it, because it will default to "Home". From there set up your settings for that mode. Hope that helps.

Well, I guess I unintentionally softbricked my Hero...

So the story:

I downloaded via OTA the update. And i tried to install, but in the middle the install just stopped, and... stood still for a long long time... ok, battery ran out and i plugged the charger and tried to turn on ... annnd stucked at HERO sign...

i tried hard reset and nothing.. im trying that with the SDK and CMD and the fastboot devices doesn't show anything.

I tried to boot one of millions of customed ROMs and nothing, i guess i had to root earlier, or something /noob here.

I kinda ran out of options here and i don't know what to do...

Could you guys please help me out?

Taiwanese version of HTC Hero here.

yep, and i'm kinda desperate here too.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chachi:
If you can get it to fastboot ok and open the conversation, there must be something that can be done.

According to the definitive fastboot docs (http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot) there might be a few options to try ...

<pre>usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader

options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline</pre>

Perhaps the -w to clear those areas might do it ...

Alternatively, I _believe_ you could flash the 1.62 recovery image to the phone in fastboot and then wipe from in there, or flash an 'update.zip' style rom from in here as well ...

Good luck, someone more knowledgeable than I may have other ideas ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryoma Echizen:
Broken Root???????

WELLLLLL...

I'm not sure how I did it, but I cannot open my custom recovery image. Happened a couple weeks after I flashed a new image. When I tried to apply an update.zip, the image froze at the 'opening update package' stage. I tried multiple roms and wipes to fix the problem, but none worked. :(

I've flashed multiple images through the terminal, and cannot open any. I've tried using flashrec again, but command line error always pops up. The error in fastboot when trying to load the image is as follows "Wrong or no image!"

This error reoccurs several times as the image recovery is attemped to be retrieved several times.

My rom is Darchdroid 262, and works 100%.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
I was having a play with those commands yesterday to see if it was possible to restore to a ROM through fastboot but had no luck unfortunately.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chin2k:

Yeah, i'll try the 1.62, but the ADB don't find my device.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Try this,...

Go into fastboot on your phone.

Open CMD and type the following, obviously you will have to change slightly depending on where you extracted the sdk to.

cd c:\sdk\tools

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then try running one of the 1.5 RUU .exe files on your pc/lappy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chin2k:
i tried running one of the southeast asia RUU, the 2.73.728.5 file yesterday, and... nothing show up. Sayin' ive got to use the correct one.

The thing i thinked about is to rewrite the checksum in the update (the taiwanese 1.5 to 2.1 the one i've tried to update), verifying if its cupcake (in the fact that the update stopped in the middle), so if delete the verification code, it will continue the installation, and hopefuly, boot correctly.

update: ok trying to update again, then he says:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:

fastboot erase cache

then try running the RUU again....... ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chin2k:

it hasn't the original taiwanese RUU available?

the 2.73.751.13 file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Customer ID Error?.... Ahaaaa,..... We might be on to something. Try with a goldcard now.

Use an old RUU with 1.5, not the new 2.1 ROM.

If you need to know how to make a goldcard follow BTDAGs guide linked in my signature.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chin2k:
Yeah, so... i don't have a gold card and i will ask for my friend to do one.. if it's possible...

But one question, can edit the checksum in the 1.5 to 2.1 update? it's even possible?

because i think the problem in continuing the update is the check....

Now that Qik is working on the market the following is useless.

I know some people can't get Qik to work, or even see it in the market so this is what you need to get Qik with video chat going on your phone.

1 - Download the APK from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710910&postcount=9

2 - open the apk up with astro or whatever you want

3 - hit 'upgrade' and follow the steps

4 - power off your phone and pull the battery then put it back in and power up(not 100% required but it's better safe then sorry).

5 - open up blue Qik(should be the only one) and enjoy!

[Desire General] yojosefo:
Hey guys!, Ive been using my desire for about 3 weeks, now, 3 happy weeks btw.

Ive noticed something really weird, I use Advanced task killer to keep my ram memory as clean as possible during the usage, but I noticed that the more time it is on, and the more apps are runned and then 'killed' by the atk, the available ram memory become less and less, till almost nothing, the first app kill leaves me with about 180-200mb of free ram, then by the next day 55-60, even when there are supposedly no more apps to kill...

Why do u think this behavior is presented, really annoying! jajaja

thanks in advance!

android for life.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Why are you worried?

If you have a lot of free memory, it is effectively being wasted.

I'm not going to start on the argument that task killers are generally a waste of time, because nothing on this forums polarizes opinions more than this! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I agree with Dave. With WinMo, you had to manage your RAM in order to keep your device's performance level up (by manually closing applications and using RAM cleaners).

But I've not found the need for this since jumping ship to Android. Unlike in WinMo, the OS seems to know exactly what to do with RAM...

I understand, but I have to say..........My desire feels much snappier when I just used the task killer.... ;)

I got mine on Friday morning from a SoCal RadioShack which had 5 in stock. Late afternoon I noticed a dead pixel (pink) on the white background of the SMS screen. Then after further looking, I noticed that on a all white background, my screen has wavy light yellow lines going up and down the screen. They are going to order me a new phone and then I'll do the exchange. Had to get them to agree to this after telling them that I would cancel my new contract and go purchase the phone and a new contract somewhere else if I had to return the phone and then wait days for a new one as they had suggested.

Searched online and it looks like a few other folks have the same issue or dead white pixel on a black background. I would advise anyone to check before you drive away with your new Evo. Perhaps take a picture with your finger over the lense to check the all black and then open something else that shows all white to check for a dark pixel.

Not too upset with this because I'm so happy with the phone overall and I figure this Evo is like a test unit for me to go app crazy with....Lemons into lemonade.....
[EVO 4G General] neonsector:

i went to the store told them whats up, they didnt care, one of the idiots there actually told me to use the insurance to get a replacement.

I told them I don't think so, I will go to another place to get a replacement after I return it here.

I emailed the ceo of sprint (Jerry Andriano) and I got an email from him this morning (Sunday) telling me that he needs the names of the people that told me to use the insurance, store location and to call (he gave me number to contact him) to resolve the problem at once.

[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
I'm surprised they argued with you. It's probably because they're flying off the shelves and most stores don't have any?

I took mine back yesterday because there's a slight defect in the screen that looks like something between the glass and the sensor. Nothing actually wrong, just bugs me a bit. The Sprint store had a replacement ready and was going to replace it on the spot. I put it off till today because mine was rooted and I wanted to put it back to stock before returning it.

Please do yourself a favour and get this:

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000771&products_id=23584

First of all let me say I don't work for Pdair, don't know who they are and dont really care. All I know is their screen protector is the only good one I've tried.

Before I got this, I used two dodgy ones off ebay that were so thick it impaired the touch screen, an "Invisible Shield" which cost 40 australian dollars and was basically a tacky sheet of rubber. All of these had air bubbles and made the screen hard to use, not to mention impaired the resolution so everything would get a rainbow glow (Im sure you know what I'm talking about if you've used a bad screen protector).

I got the PDair ultra clear in the mail today and applying it was by far the easiest of the ones I've tried - it went on perfect first go with no air bubbles. Better yet, it completely covered the small scratches I've managed to accumlate on the screen.

When I powered the phone up I found that my finger actually glided over the screen better than on the native screen, the resolution was (as the product name suggests) ultra clear and you really couldn't tell I had it on.

I'm just posting this so people don't waste as much money as I did trying to find something that actually works.

If you're looking for a screen protector for the Touch2 (no idea about other phones), go to PDair and get the ultra clear

Well, I have installed mobile office 2010 a few weeks ago (when it was officially released).

Yesterday, I tried using the "Find/Replace" function in Office2010 Excel -

(menu->edit->fuind/replace)

It did not find the searched text (neither as value nor in formula).

Trying it with PocketExcel 2007 - worked just fine.

(In the past moved so much of my data to excel exactly for the search option,

and if it's not working . . . well, it's a BIG problem for me)

I would be glad if a few more people try this in pxl 2010, and verify that this is not only on my device.
