[General Questions and Answers] OG:
Okay. So as part of a bet, I got all A's and B's on my final Report Card, and my mom bought me a Mac. Everything was good and all was fine, until I left the mac to download and Install some system updates to applications like garageband and such. Normally, the only form of internet I have is Tetheration from my G1. I was using the Wireless Tether and had left the house and left it on to Update. When I got back, I tried to go on my FaceBook, and it wouldn't load. I'm good with this kind of stuff, so I restarted the Tether, the phone, the laptops AirPort, and the laptop itself. I tried, and it wouldn't connect. now I don't know if this is a problem from my phone, or from the laptop. I tried to connect the Tether to my brothers Windows Vista, and it worked. I also don't know how to use USB Tether on a Mac. If anybody could help, that'd be awesome. I have a T-Mobile G1.

*UPDATE FROM THE LIBRARY!*

Okay, so it's not a problem with the mac, it's a problem with the Tether, but no matter how I try to use it, it won't work. Any help?

BTW, I do not say this is a Mac problem that only Macs have, it is that Mac is helping me solve my problems, when my old Windows (that is now my brothers) went around it. I love you Maccy. (That's right, I named my Mac <3)

if u used rom manager to flash to froyo frf50 radio would i then be able to flash cyan 508t3? or do i manually have to flash the new froyo radio>
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
I don't understand the question, the froyo radio is for froyo, the old radio is for 2.1. What's wrong with flashing in recovery?

Anyone got a good one for N1?

I want to listen to music while driving. I have been using FM transmitter for my Tilt2 and iPod touch. Wondering if there's a good one for N1 too.

MY car stereo doesn't have BT so that's not an option for me :/
[Nexus One Accessories] Saphroxx:
Unfortunately there is no FM radio yet for Nexus One as it's not supported
[Nexus One Accessories] wesbalmer:
Anything that plugs in to your 3.5 mm jack will work just fine, differing quality depending upon price. There are no limitations when it comes to external devices, meaning you can plug anything into your 3.5 mm jack so long as the dongle is not expected to be managed by the device.
[Nexus One Accessories] malicious85:
i'm still holding out hope that the chip inside our nexus that is capable of transmmiting and receiving gets enabled by update eventually
[Nexus One Accessories] ctbear:
I have had bad experiences with fm transmitters that take audio from the headphone jack...so I would prefer something else :D

Exactly what I'm hoping for
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
I just use a universal FM transmitter that you plug in the 3.5mm jack, works like a charm. Tried a couple of cheap ones first, but they had seriously lousy range, so I decided to kick it up a notch and bought a Whole House FM transmitter. Works over 50m/150feet away and sound quality is very good, it does cost a bit more than the cheap and lousy ones though. Use it in my car all the time since it doesn't have BT or AUX input.

edit:

Just to add a couple of things which I like about it: It runs on batteries/car charger/normal outlet and is one of the first products I've ever owned that works as good as advertised. I was quite shocked ;)

Works awesome.
[Nexus One Accessories] codesplice:
I bought a cheap FM transmitter to use while I was in Italy, as my rental didn't have the Aux Input functionality that I've grown so used to... Of course, it sounded like ****, so I fixed it. The antenna wire ran the length of the audio input cable... I cut that ***** open and spliced about 12 feet of solid-core wire pulled from a bit of CAT5 onto it, wrapped that around the interior of the car. Works damn well - so well, that I continued to use it after returning home just because it was easier to use than the Aux Input on my head unit :-D

Wow :eek: Sadly Im not that of a mechanical guy :(

Thanks for the heads up :)
[Nexus One Accessories] khaytsus:
I've been using some Belkin one for a few years.. Full FM band in half-channel increments, and pretty easy to modify.. I added a 3.5mm jack to the thing so I can plug in an antenna to it easily. There's also some modification to increase the output, but I did not do that.

And yeah, they still suck.. SNR is low, volume is low, easy to clip the audio going into the transmitter even though it needs the volume almost all the way up because it's not very sensitive, etc...

And you STILL have to change channels on trips, because they're too weak to overpower other stations. This is especially fun on mine since I accidentally broke the LCD adding the antenna wire a few years ago, so I gotta tune the thing blindly.

Aux input is really the only way to have any quality audio... Why this isn't a standard on ALL decks, OEM included, is beyond me. I could buy a $80 CD attachment for my radio which is intended to use with the optional CD player which installs in the trunk but the input is just Aux-in so you can use it with mp3 players etc, but $80 + taking out the radio and installing this thing in a car I don't plan on keeping much longer doesn't seem like a good idea.

I'll be stomping puppies if my next car doesn't have Aux-in though.
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
You should've tried the Whole House FM transmitter I mentioned. You can keep it on the same channel all the time as it easily overpowers other stations. The sound quality is also good.
[Desire General] rdh25:
Just a quick one - I am using a branded orange desire handset straight out the box (no modifications at all). I have downloaded a few different browsers and to give them a bit of a road test I have been trying to access anything on the iplayer through the url bbc.co.uk/iplayer.

A couple obviously just cannot handle it, but Skyfire for example appears willing to load the programmes but then they get blocked when it tells me 'not available in your area'. Just to confirm I'm bang in the middle of the UK and can access on my desktop pc which is on the same wifi network. I get the same message when trying to access through orange 3g.

I have seen old posts about the now disappeared beebplayer which clearly looks like the decent option if available, but I was just wondering if anyone is getting a feed of any kind through a browser (not worried about quality at this stage) or if the error message I'm getting is consistent with everyone else.

Live tv feeds through m.tvcatchup.com work through 3g but not my wifi for some reason (have tried all of the above with wep, wap and no security at all btw).

Although I've read in a few places that theres no way of getting the iplayer on desire right now, I thought the flash capabilities of skyfire would allow it, even if very poor quality, which has left me wondering if my router is actually the knackered piece of kit here?

Any ideas - sorry, I know it's a bit of a long one.
[Desire General] rdh25:
to maybe put this question a bit simpler now I've had some sleep - can anyone out there view, for example the bbc iplayer, through any browser installed on their desire? Or should I not be concerned by being told I am not in the UK because this is the error message its spewing out because it basically can't handle iplayer at the moment under any browser?
[Desire General] samac92:
There is no way yet to watch on iPlayer through the browser on the Desire.

If you install android 2.2 froyo you can install flash 10.1 beta from the market, but still iPlayer is completely awful quality, and totally unwatchable.

Your best bet is beebplayer, which is pretty bad quality, just google beebplayer.apk and download it.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] psych2l:
Rather have it for all apps, games, browser, etc. I wonder if the usb tv-out cable for the incredible works?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdude:
This would take a lot of hacking. Right now HTC/Sprint have custom drivers and code that intercepts any VideoView and outputs it to HDMI. I don't even know where we'd begin to extend to other stuff. Maybe once kernel source is released? Even then that might not contain what we need.

Hmm, I wonder if we could do a crazy hack where a streaming screen capture is plugged into a VideoView. Definitely would require root, don't know if it's possible, and would probably have crappy framerate. But if somebody wants to try it, more power to them.

Carrier: AT&T

Country / Language: USA / English

OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): Android 2.1, 2.2, CM 5.0.6

My Nexus One is restarting randomly. I have unlocked the bootloader in order to test out different ROMs and have experienced the issue with Cyanogen's Mod, Android 2.1, Android 2.2 and the HTC Sense Rom. It doesn't seem to be limited to a single app, either. I have reset the phone to as close to stock as I can (2.1, no new apps, stock bootloader as well), and I still have these random restarts. I notice it the most when there is a data transfer going on OTA, whether 3G, Edge or WiFi. Could it be a kernal issue or radio issue? I have done my best to troubleshoot via the internet and my limited knowledge, but nothing is working! Please help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sellitus:
Try reflashing the recovery, wiping the data/cache etc and reflashing both the ROM and the radio. I had this problem too and doing one of these ended up fixing it. Hope this helps!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DvTonder:
My phone did the same and it seemed to be a hardware error. I have returned it to HTC and am awaiting a new device. Hopefully it is not the same for you and a reflash will solve it.

I have the exactly the same phone and have the exact same problem. Problem is I am in Costa Rica and I would have to send it back with my uncle on the 10th, but then I wont get it back for another month. If I just buy another nexus while I get the current one repaired, do you think I will get another one with the same problem? You can still buy an at&t nexus if you are an android developer correct?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech_Boy:
It only invalidates your warranty if you damaged your phone by unlocking. This is a problem that came stock with the phone, we only unlocked it to try fix the problem.

[HD2 General] blackinches:
Where do you add new APN settings? I went to all settings/connections/connections but don't see any place to insert all the APN settings..?

Original post:

HD2 noobie here. Have it unlocked on AT&T. Phone/SMS all work fine. I don't get any internet(mail, facebook, marketplace, etc.) unless I'm on wifi. I realize being on AT&T I can only get edge(which is fine). I've been on a tmobile phone(G1 on edge prior to getting this phone) since last year with no problems. I figured it was my sim card. I took my old G1 and put my sim in there, works no problems. Also put a different sim card under my account(my dads) in my HD2, same problem. I've narroed it down to the HD2 itself but I have no clue what could be keeping it from getting on edge/internet.

I get a 'Cannot COnnect'' error that says:

Then after hitting 'Dismiss' I see:

Any idea? Maybe someone with AT&T has seen this problem before.

Cheers
[HD2 General] Leddy:
Your APN settings are wrong; if you have a TMOUS or Telstra HD2 it won't have AT&T settings on it, you need to create new connection profiles with AT&T settings.

I'm assuming it uses the same APN settings as my G1 on AT&T did? But where the heck do I enter new APN settings at on this phone?

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - add a new modem connection - name - cellular line(gprs) then fill in the rest with the at&t access point name and such like.

Then, when you have the modem created, go back to the connections - connections screen, jump to advanced tab, click select networks - and set the top option to your at&t data you just set up.

[EVO 4G General] MisterEdF:
If any of you programming geniuses out there can figure out a way to add a small delay to the 4 EVO buttons a lot of folks would be very grateful.

Those buttons are just way to sensitive and are constantly getting bumped. They need a small delay (option?) to make them a little less subject to accidental triggering.
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
not a problem for me
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
i see what you mean, but honestly, i prefer them nice and fast and responsive with occasional accidents. my $0.02.
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
It wouldn't help I think because it's usually like part of your hand that sits over them.
[EVO 4G General] mongoose8p:
yeah this is a terrible idea
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
I don't think it's a terrible idea... like 10-15 times a day if I am holding the phone with my right hand, in landscape mode, parts of my palm or whatever seem to activate home or search. PITA
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
Just to be clear, are you wanting there to be a delay in between button presses so that you don't accidentally hit the buttons multiple times when you meant to hit them once? Or do you want the buttons to require a long-press in order to activate them?
[EVO 4G General] ScrapMaker:
for me, I'd just like for the instant-press to be disabled, and make a half-long-press, of sorts. Basically, to disable accidental 'brushes,' that could activate the buttons. It's not a huge problem honestly, but it sure does make me miss having REAL buttons. I've never been a fan of capacitive buttons, like on my laptop. A real, old-fashioned button always works better.
[EVO 4G General] slackjawedhippy:
This happens to me all the time too. I don't know if a half-long-press, short-press, or press-hold would really make any difference. I think I trigger the buttons in just about each of those ways accidentally daily. What I could see as a potential solution is a button lock app.. maybe gesture based and floats on top of any full screen apps? If only I was more cody, I would try my hand at making it..
[EVO 4G General] BuglessPete:
Find the value or command that equals a long press and I can probably do it.
[EVO 4G General] slackjawedhippy:
This is for 2.0, and it applies to hardware buttons. I'm not sure how the EVO deals with the buttons since they are capacitive touch buttons. And it may be different in 2.1 (and HTC for that matter). But it's a start:

From http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/Basics_of_Event_Management/

"Long Press Events

Prior to Android 2.0, detecting the long press was only available to UI elements by implementing the event listener OnLongClickListenerand registering the View with setOnLongClick(). In 2.0, support was added for a new event handler to detect long presses on hardware buttons.

@Override
public boolean onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_CALL) {
// A long press of the call key.
// Do our work, returning true to consume it. By
// returning true, the framework knows an action has
// been performed on the long press, so will set the
// canceled flag for the following up event.
return true;
}
return super.onKeyLongPress(keyCode, event);
}

The callback is triggered by any key press-and-hold. To determine what key was pressed you need to test for a specific key code."​

I believe these are all of the key codes that would be returned: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html

Since: API Level 1
Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)

I have the latest htc sync app and it doesnt see my evo when I plug it in. tip said to run it as admin in win 7 but then what happens is after about 5 minutes you get a message that says it couldnt create a device manager instance or something like that. this is the version ending in .35 which is the latest and from what I have googled its hit or miss on this app. is there a better way to sync to the desktop preferably for free with my outlook or do we just wait for htc or for ms to create a driver for the evo 4? if there is one could you point me and anyone else with this issue to the fix/driver?
