[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shaneaus:
I removed my previous post because I didn't want to make any promises regarding a dev being willing to support a device.

Also, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree that expectations are WAY to high from a vast majority of people who donate to purchase a device for a dev to work with.

I'm going to solicit a FEW interested people for cash to purchase a dev a device. But, those people have to DAMN WELL KNOW that they can't gripe, complain, harass (is it done yet, when will it be done, when will you update it, etc) the dev.

If a device is purchased the dev will work on it when he dang well has the opportunity, on his timeline, and NO ONE else's. Way too many people on XDA seem to believe that the devs make a LIVING off of making ROMS! They DON'T. This is a HOBBY. And griping, harassing forum posters and trolls don't make the dev feel any more generous about doing work on a device or appreciated when they do the work.

IF I collect any money for this purpose I'll make sure any donators understand the above, I'll contact the dev, purchase the device, send it to him/her, and we'll see what happens. Everyone else will just benefit from the few and they can donate to the dev if they like the work.

+1 for someone who can port cyanogenmod to the galaxy s
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] efbenson:
If we get Cyanogen a Galaxy S he will most likely get it working since he has Tmobile and the Galaxy will be on TMO. If we buy any dev a galaxy my vote is for Cyanogen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shaneaus:
Bottom line here:

If ANYONE were to collect money with the purpose of purchasing/donating a device to a dev (or group of devs) - the intent being that those dev(s) generate custom ROM's for that device....

They should understand the following:

The meaning of DONATE: To present as a gift to a fund or cause; contribute.

Not one single portion of that definition indicates an obligation on the other's behalf. It is understood that the dev(s) in question will attempt to do the work.

The devs work on ROM's because it is a FUN HOBBY. This is NOT what feeds their family or pays for the roof over their heads.

The donation of the device does not give the group of donators (as a group or individually) the right to gripe, *****, harass, annoy, or otherwise nag the dev(s) about any ROM releases.

Acceptance of the device by a dev(s) only means they will do their best to provide timely updates along with any other devices they create a ROM for - AND NOTHING ELSE!

If the device gets damaged or bricked - the dev won't be held responsible in any way - accidents happen! It is taken for granted that the dev would try not to allow that to happen and that he/she/they have more experience than we do - or, the device wouldn't have been DONTATED!

There are NO GUARANTEES! There are NO TERMS! There is NO CONTRACT! Donation of a device does not mean the dev will actually get a successfully ROM running on it - nor, does it mean the dev will continue to support the device into the future once a custom ROM was made for it.

Any device DONATED to a dev is just that - DONATED! Sure, if the device is accepted by the dev - it is understood that the dev will do the best they can! But, there are no guarantees! The device would be given up with HOPE that the dev is successful.

I was given advice by an old wise man:

"NEVER loan money to a freind in need. GIVE money to a friend in need. If that friend pays you back then - great. If he doesn't then there is no harm done because you didn't expect the money back anyway. One can't put a dollar value on friendship."

Donating to a dev (device or money) is just like that - you give him the money/device and hope to see something in return - but, if you don't it is written off as a DONATION and one moves on.

If you can't donate money for a device with the above understanding - If you think the above is Bu11$h1t then my suggestion - NEVER donate money for a device. Just wait till the deed has been done and donate to a fait accompli - an accomplished fact.

I would be willing to donate under the above conditions. But, that risk just shows how important having a quality custom ROM on my device is to ME. Everyone must make their own decision.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] efbenson:
I pretty much assumed all above was a given. If not people need to understand this is a hobby for everyone, as stated above.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
All I'm trying to say is, I would love king k to work on this epic device! And I will donate to him with a request to get a galaxy s with thee money if he confirms he could cook for it. No demand, but if we buy him the best device and he can have some fun with it then I can't see why he wouldn't be dedicated, but there wouldn't be promises or obligations!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pardus:
I'm having some really strange issues with my HTC Dream (rooted and running CM 5.0.8 T4.)

The most annoying is that most times when I boot into recovery (RA 1.7.0 - MD5 checked and re-flashed) the buttons and trackball do not work:confused:!!! If the phone is left to itself after a few minutes it boots by itself into the OS, but sometimes not, hanging indefinitely at the HTC Dream screen. A battery pull usually gets it to boot properly but not always.

Other problems include spontaneous random reboots' and really irritatingly, a complete failure to wake up (no response from any buttons, phone appears dead but if I've received an email just before then an LED flashes) - have to pull the battery again. When sucessfully booted all the hardware works fine!

I've wiped fully, formatted SD and re-flashed a few times but still the same, this started about 10 days ago after a few weeks happily running CM 5.0.7 (before I tried 5.0.8 T4)

Sometimes the phone will go for many hours/days with no problems

There's no 'last_kmsg' in /proc/ (only kmsg = 0 bytes) and nothing in 'data/dontpanic/'?

What on EARTH is going on? :confused::mad::confused:

[edit] can't get a logcat 'cos it seems to always wake up when connected to USB...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTouch24:
I dont get it ... my friend has a verizon Eris (see pic) and i also had a sprint Hero, both with 2.1 and the lockscreen had different options ... how did we loose that with the EVO?

With the ERIS and HERO, u were able to set a different wallpaper and lockscreen .. but with the EVO, whatever your wallpaper is, the lockcreen is the same ...

also as u can see from the pic .. when u slide down the lockscreen ... the whole screen slides down, revealing the screen behind it(home screen). With the EVO .. the only thing that slides down is the sprint lock bar ... boring ... looked allot nicer before ...

how did we loose these options/effects and how can we get them back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamknuckle:
I think it has to do with the live wallpapers. I actually like it better this way though, but I use live wallpapers. I could see it bothering you if you don't.

will restoring the radio back require us to wipe all settings again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
That would be great! There is actually a difference in the radio performance, I am right on the edge of having a 3G signal at my house and the stock slide stays locked on the 3G signal no problem (as this one use to), after the new flash it keeps going back to EDGE, if I lock it on 3G the signal keeps going in and out.

ah... swimming sounds sooooo nice. its so damn hot here in the south.

personally, I like the eng. radio build better. I wish someone make a radio only update.zip for that one too. I like to switch sometimes. I had 8 different radio versions for the HTC Wizard and flashing a radio will help me get my fix for the day, MUHUHUHUAHHHAHHAHA! sorry... I'm addicted to flashing again after getting root on this *****. I guess I fell off the wagon, lol:D

Can anyone chat on MSN Talk app with no hotmail contacts? I can do it on Meebo with my friends with yahoo account same way as Windows Live Messenger on my pc, but yahoo contacts don´t appear in MSN Talk.

Meebo works fine but it's quite simple looking.

[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Noone using this can help?
[XPERIA X10 General] Shiwantha:
Im not sure which application you are having trouble with.

Try Hi MSN its free and themes and lots of stuff available.

It wont drain battery like MSN droid by running in background.

[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
I think i've tried it too, but i´m not sure. can u tell me if it's working for u with no hotmail contacts when ur logged into msn. Meebo does.

Does Hi MSN drain less battery than this one? Sure?

Btw i'll try again
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
I've tried Hi MSN now again and no, it doesn't show any yahoo contacts as WLM on my pc or meebo on my phone do.

Thanks a lot , I think i'll use it anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] gulpreet:
Honestly man, just try ebuddy. I thought it would be crappy before and tried pretty much all of the msn apps.... they all suck. Ebuddy turned out to be the best one. Give it a shot. I'm pretty sure yahoo works on ebuddy too and plus unlike some of the other apps you can actually message your offline contacts :p

I couldn't send offline messages from half the apps I used but ebuddy allowed that. So give it a go and see how it is, I'm pretty sure you'll like it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] titom78:
Yeah eBuddy is great, but it drains a lot of battery Oo
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Think i' gonna stay with Meebo, it shows my contacts' alias not email...

Thank u all
[XPERIA X10 General] onuris21:
Since we are on the topic on MSN Talk, I think compare with eBuddy, MSN Talk should be more battery efficient. And, MSN Talk allows you to do group chat whereas eBuddy does not have this function for Android phones.

Are there any MSN Talk user? Can I check if you can see your own display photo? Because no matter what display photo I change, it still shows the blue & green man.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenwaynomar45:
I made some nandroid backups but when i go to recover them it says aborted... any thoughts?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenestor:
Did you rename them? If so, you could try renaming them back to how they were.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
are you using Amon_RA's recovery or rom manager?

I used rom manager because it was easy to flash, but i switched to Amon's because the backups never worked.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The reason that it aborted will be in the log file on the phone; in the case of Amon_RA, it is at:

/cache/recovery/log

The log file is just a plain-text file; pull it to your PC (and look at it with notepad or wordpad) with

adb pull /cache/recovery/log recovery-log.txt

(while Amon_RA recovery is booted, not during normal OS).

Look towards the end of the file, and it will tell you exactly why the recovery failed.

If you are comfortable using adb, you can avoid transferring it to the PC and just do a:

adb shell [COLOR=grey](on the PC)[/COLOR]
more /cache/recovery/log [COLOR=grey](use space bar to advance to next page)[/COLOR]

bftb0

PS if you can't decipher what it says there, post it up and we'll have a look

I have created a blank pst file in outlook that I want to sync my contacts and appointments with. I am only syncing the pc contacts and calendar so facebook and google are not issues. I configured my htc sync software to use the contact and calendar folders in the blank pst. For the conflict policy I said for the mobile to overwrite the pc all the time. I connected and synced and it deleted everything from phone. All appointments and all contacts are now gone. I am lucky that I have a current backup. Is there a way to fix this issue?

I rooted and uninstalled CityID. Between the force nag and then the ridiculous monthly price I got rid of it. But I kinda liked the feature so I found an old thread about City Caller ID which was a one man app which was sued by a large company to make $2.99 month from CityID.

Recommended settings for this app. Click on it in your launcher first and scroll down to font size and set it to small then click space from bottom and click bottom high. leave the font default. Works perfect. City Id can suck it. Someone wanna recompile to 2.1?

I am using this app and it seems like a great replacement for CityID. However the text placement of the City is off. It appears along the bottom of the screen where there is either the "slide down to unlock" text or the answer and decline buttons on an incoming call.

Is there a way to put the text where the CityID text was?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebrenda:
My HTC TP2, WM Prof 6.1 has stopped showing some contact names on phone calls and texts. I think it is only out of area code numbers - although some out of town numbers do show the contact name. I think (sorry for all the "I think") all my area code numbers do show the the contact names. It may have all started when I deleted all my SIM contacts and moved them to Outlook Contacts, or when I turned Touch Flow 3D.

Do I have to add a "1" before the number in my contacts. The incoming out of area code phone numbers do have the "1".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
easy test... when you get a phone call from someone who you KNOW is in your contact list but its not showing their photo and name etc when they call at the end of the call use the number they called you on and replace it in your phonebook... the next time they call you'll know what has to be different. If when they call it's in a different format or an extra number at the start etc.

That'd be where I would start!

I know on my set up if the number isn't associated with a contact it will ask me if I want to save the number to my phone book or add to an existing contact. If you dont get that pop up then you'll just have to do it manually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
You need to update your profile and signature to tell us more about what carrier you use and what version of ROM your phone has.

Hi everyone,

I have a problem concerning low space on my GSM HTC Hero. I tried to transfer a big file (90mb) via bluetooth thinking it would end up on my SD card, because I was lacking a usb cable and I really needed to transfer the file.

For some reason the transfer failed telling me it somehow got cancelled along the way. Thats why I tried a second time, this time it failed on me saying the phone was low on memory.

So I'm guessing the parts that did got transfered are somehow stored in temporary files on my phone memory, leaving me just about 11mb of phone space.

I'm absolutely sure I don't have too much apps installed. I also tried rebooting hoping the phone would get rid of these files.

If these files would exists, does anyone know where the files are resting so I can remove them?

Thanks in advance!

Ok I have a friend who just got the HTC EVO 4G and is wanting to use Slash ID on the phone. From what I have been told this is what he is using.

Norton 360 for AV/Firewall

Win7 for the OS

Linksys for the router

Win7's firewall is turned off. He called Linksys they did a remote check and it is not being blocked. Norton has it on the approved list of applications to run. Also the passwords are being entered correctly, and the IP address is correct.
