I'm just getting the normal desktop site when I go to the following URL, is there a special one?

http://beta.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
[Nexus One General] waz000000:
yup and our tv fee's are going up year on year so the rest of the world can get a cheap proxy and watch for free :( surely this is theft same as stealing cable etc.

I think the bbc's corporate arm should have a paid version of iplayer for use outside the uk, i dont think UK residents should pay for other countries to use it.

just a personal annoyance of mine.

or better still get rid of the f*cking fee's altogether

It doesn't work in US. However, I can access "normal" version of iplayer using skyfire.

It doesn't show up BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio Ulster either, and there's no live service.

Hi guys

I'm looking for a good value for money windows mobile phone.

It has to have

Touch Screen

QWERTY keyboard

At least 128MB of ram

At least 400mhz CPU

Decent battery life.

Mini USB connection

Good ROM development.

I have owned

HTC S630 (64mb & 200mhz)

Imate 8502 (Good specs but no rom development)

Samsung C6625 (Good specs but not touch screen and little rom dev)

I've been looking at the HP Ipaq data messenger (£150 new ebay) but I hear its got a crap battery life.

I'm not looking to spend £300 ($500) on a phone!

Something perhaps around £180.

Has to be pay as you go. I avoid contracts like a plague!

Thanks.

Rhodium is the best hardware keyboard device you can find this days.

It´s a great piece of work with a great design.

You won´t regret it.

With some luck you can find a tmobile version very cheap this days, have a look on marketplace section
[General Topics] kekkle:
Do NOT, I repeat, NOT get an iPAQ DM. I have it laying in front of me here. It fails on so many levels it ain't even funny. Let me name all bad things about it:

1. The battery lasts 1 day with luck.

2. Getting a GPS lock can easily take 10 minutes.

3. It has the standard Windows Mobile UI, which blows.

4. Even if you install SPB Mobile Shell, be prepared for lockups.

5. The keyboard is crap. It doesn't type good at all, I had the phone for 7 months and I still ain't that fast on it.

6. My 'E' and 'V' button begin having troubles early on. Where I had to press extra hard to use them.

7. Pretty much no chance at WinMo 6.5.x, as the boot loader is encrypted.

8. The QVGA screen is near useless.

9. The camera is completely useless. It has no autofocus, is blurry as hell. And taking a picture can take 5 seconds. And if you want to delete the picture or take a new one, it's gonna load 5 minutes again.

10. Unless you're using some simple WiFi encryption like WEP, don't expect to have a connection all the time.

11. All the hardware buttons on the side are way too hard to press.

12. It has no Mini USB, it looks like it, but it's some HP-proprietary nonsense.

13. ROM development is 0.0, like I said, encrypted.

14. It failed so hard, HP canceled production of it not long after it was released.

15. Just don't get this phone. You'll regret it.

[General Topics] t061509j:
my suggestion is no matter what qwerty keyboard phone u get DO NOT GET THE SE XPERIA X1 that phone have a 512 cpu and i think like a 800 mbs on. im currently using it and im VERY unhappy with the phone. i was hoping it to be better then it should be. if u dont drops your phone or anything i would suggest a Nokia N97 or a Nokia N900

i personally would give a rating of the X1 from a 3 outta 5.

some people are havin problems with the bluetooth(headset) on the x1 and i am too.(bluetooth static noise) i personally dont like the virbration of the phone,the loudness. the phone is VERY low when is on max. and when i have the phone in my pocket i TOTALY dont feel the phone virbrating in my pocket.and most of the time the Camera frezzes on me and that lead into a phone freeze.i had a Nokia N97 and im very happy with it. i thought the SE X1 would be better then the N97 and stupid enough to sold the N97. EXTREMELY UNHaPPY WITH SE X1. AND VERY UNHAPPY WITH SE COUSTOMER SERVICES! im saying that because my phone is still under warrently, my phone having problems they're gunna make me pay 200$ to get my phone fix.. i would highly suggest N97.

N97 space is by G and the CPU is 1GHZ

[General Topics] maxpower097:
This ones easy. If you want to pay $250 - $300 get an HD2, if you want to pay $100 - $250 get a Touch Pro 2/Tilt2/Rhodium. Both are abosolutely killer phones and you can pick them up second hand for pennies on the dollar. I say an HD2 because you think you have to have a real KB but after using the HD2 touch KB you won't need it anymore. I bought a mint ATT TILT2 for $150 the other day, then I bought an HD2 kit with everything and less then 5 hours on the phone total for $250. Everyone is selling their smart phones to pay the $300 for the new iphone so you can get phones for nothing now in local classifieds.
[General Topics] kekkle:
Hehe, there's only one thing I really miss from the phone. That is the mute slider on top. As it allows you to quickly put the phone on vibrate and back on sound. Especially great in meetings. You just slide your hand in your pocket and do it quickly without even having to get it out.

Hi everybody.

Please,take a look at this video comparing N1 and Samsung Galaxy S :

youtube.com/v/hVlsRCMltDg

What about?

I'm getting very dissapointed with N1 since i bought that,and i'm from brazil.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:

[Nexus One General] carcassudo:
Other phones are getting very atractive for me form now.

ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor x snapdragon

maybe that's about the GPU.

But i don't think that the multitouch issue is caused by the lower power processing.
[Nexus One General] gratti:
The N1 uses an old Synaptics touch layer called ClearPad2000 that was not meant to support all the crazy multitouch gestures we know today, and neither is all that precise... in fact the multitouch only exist in the N1 through a software trick.

So ya, the N1 multitouch is defective and there's no software upgrade that will fix that. There are quite few articles in the web that explain in details how that works, case is... well... u r stuck with an old outdated non precise touch screen.

I was used to iPhone touch screen full multitouch, so i hear ya.. but i did my switch gladly and I would do it again, in a heart beat, since u gain a lot more from the N1 than just a multitouch screen... And Im from BR too so 1/2 of the awesomeness of the google phone doesn't work here (Google Voice, Turn-by-Turn nav, speech-to-text, the god damn speel-check/auto-correction and so on) and I'm still happy I trade my 3GS iCrap to my N1.
[Nexus One General] norazi:
The problem I have with the nexus one touchscreen is not the lack of “multitouch” per say as in I don’t ever use more than 2 fingers swapping axis... Its just that the screen seems off calibrated sometimes... Ie randomly my touches will register about 1/2 inch lower than where I pressed. I think this is a software issue though because ti goes away after a reboot. Also the soft-keyboard is not anywhere near as accurate as my old iphone 2g (even though the iphone has a smaller screen).... I am not sure if this can be fixed via software with better drivers or algorithms

is there an app or a tool that I can use to see how "responsive" my screen is? I just want to see if I have the "improperly grounded" issue
[EVO 4G General] scriptx:
if you haven't noticed a problem, then there either isn't one, or it doesn't affect you. it's when you go looking for problems that you find them. just leave well enough alone!
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
Ok, but how do you test? Ive seen apps where u can draw lines and stuff but I can't find anything on the market. What is a good app?
[EVO 4G General] investinwaffles:
The grounding issue can be seen when you put the phone down on a surface ( non conducive) and try to operate the phone. Mine is most severe on the upper half of the screen, like when sliding the top bar down. Then touch the back cover and try it again.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Yeah, I only know it when I'm trying to slide the notification bar down when it is lying on the couch or something. The rest of the screen is fine.
[EVO 4G General] EVOmaniac07:
Putting it down flat and trying to pull the top bar down I would say is the easiest way. I have problems with it

The app Multitouch Visible Test in the Market will let you see up to 2 touch points on the screen. I use it for everything I test with.
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
I switched over from Verizon and I have had my EVO since the 4th of June. I like the phone, however I get very poor reception. At my house inside, I get 1 bar, sometimes it will be no bars or 2 bars. I used to get excellent reception in my house with Verizon (usually full bars). My wife is on T-Mobile and even she gets 3-4 bars (out of 5 bars) and never has dropped calls. I always get dropped calls.

I used to be able to ride in the elevator in my office and talk on the phone. Quality would drop and i would lose bars (down to 1 or 2) but I would almost never actually drop a call (this is on Verizon). Today, in two elevator rides on the phone, they both dropped.

Now my question is.... is this Sprint or is it the phone?

If it's the phone are there certain ROMs I should try that improve the reception?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
You should try to do the little hack to get on verizon towers without being classified as roaming. Check it out, if its sprint then you will see once you try it.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
Different radios might work. For the last 4 years I've been an AT&T customer. I understand that CDMA apparently isn't as good at signal building penetration compared to GSM, so that might be a limitation.

However, both Verizon and Sprint utilize CDMA, so I find it odd that someone with Verizon could have a better signal than Sprint, since I'm also told that (assuming your phone has the "roaming towers" option or whatever it's called enabled, and it is by default, at least on my phone) they use the same towers, so why on earth would there be a disparity?

I'm guessing it's the EVO, or something to do with its casing, because some places I get excellent reception indoors, and others, like Sam's Club, is a complete dead zone except for the front third of the store closest to the exit.

That being said, my wifi reception (or at least indicator) totally blows. I hope a firmware update address that and the 30 fps cap, as well as reception (if it's the phone).
[EVO 4G General] gatorran:
Try the *techknowfile's* - Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage!

It worked for me. From having no bars went to full at home because of Sprint coverage. And the EVO does not have the option of roaming, just the automatic roaming and never worked for me.

About Verizon and Sprint they are both CDMA but they have their own towers. Is not the phone. And at Walmart almost every phone loose signal. I have friends w all carriers and they all get poor signal.
[EVO 4G General] kvictar:
can you please explain what exactly you did? I'm having similar no signal problem and my MotoQ worked perfectly fine.
[EVO 4G General] gatorran:
Obtain your MSL (aka Master Subsidy Lock / Password. SIX DIGIT NUMBER)

Dial ##775#, a password prompt should appear. Enter your MSL into this box->hit OK->tap on the "Update PRL" button. Make sure "All Folders" and "Type: prl files" are selected. You should see the downloaded PRL (00001.prl) on the list; Select the PRL->Press Menu->Commit.

Search the forum for Hack the HTC EVO - 3G w/o Sprint EVDO coverage! under "EVO 4G Android Development"

the tutorial is on the first post by Techknowfile.
[EVO 4G General] SiL3nTKiLL:
try a different radio, or maybe its just the area u are in? on ATT, my friend has an iphone, and i had the fuze, and he always got signals where i didnt, so it could be the phone...
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
You can't go by bars on CDMA... You can have ZERO bars and still be able to make crystal clear calls and send and receive data on CDMA whereas on GSM you hit 3 bars and your calls start cutting out.

Anyway, I've noticed that the EVO is really crappy with data speeds - but voice quality it is bar none the highest quality cell phone I have ever used.
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
Well, if the Evo simply has poor reception the Verizon hack shouldn't make a difference.

I like you have poor service in my home, always have. I got an Airave to solve that problem, it works well so long as I also am connected to Wifi otherwise it tends to hop between 1 bar of 3G and full bars of 1xRTT.

I tried the Verizon PRL hack. The signal was a little stronger, inline with what my roommates on Verizon got, but it wouldn't connect to the Airave at all. Did seem to have a hard time maintaining a 3G connection. I wasn't losing the signal, it just seemed to drop the data connection, but I still had a voice connection. Because of that and the airave issue I switched back.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
The funny thing is, the EVO has better signal reception than my TP2... it just has crappy data speeds.
[EVO 4G General] eck0728:
really? i get amazing data speeds on 3g, also i found out today that wifi speeds and signals are being fixed via software update from HTC, just got an e-mail from there. something like 700 down and 700 or so up.
[EVO 4G General] gatorran:
This is what I get on speed.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
If it helps, everybody in NYC knows that Verizon is the best in signal. You can get signal with them where ATT and Sprint can't. ATT has the worst signal in the city of the 3 of them. So it might be the carrier. I don't know if this is true somewhere else.
[EVO 4G General] Albaholic:
Absolutely horrible. I don't know how you live with that ;)
[EVO 4G General] gatorran:
It's Horrible!!!! hehe I've been having nightmares because of that. It was really slow on the sprint network, and the airave was getting my phone crazy changing between connections.
[EVO 4G General] twohype:
I have a simular issue, so I called sprint today and the tech found that the tower nearest me (about 1 mile away) was "out" so that was my problem so he generated a ticket to fix the tower. The funny thing is that he indicated that in general thier system can not tell them when a tower is out, customers generally call and indicate a service issue then they can remotely check the towers in question for issues :eek:. Man that is not the best way to check towers :eek:. Oh well the tower I need should be fixed in about 24 hours based on the tech I talked to.......he also said good thing I called ;) Man they have a nutty system :o
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Verizon's method of checking towers isn't much better if all they have is one guy walking around asking "can you hear me now?" :)

[EVO 4G General] orlandojumpoff:
i've found it to be the opposite in my city. verizon is terrible and sprint is awesome. maybe in your area, sprint just isn't as good as verizon? don't think it's the evo.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
This is easy to check.

Go to a different area and see if the signal gets better.

My own evo is better than my old TP2, much better reception (I don't roam at work, on the basement floor, whereas TP2 used to constantly) and 2-2.2 down / 0.6 up Mbps.
[EVO 4G General] spdweb:
I just switched from a TP2 to the Evo and I found things to be quite the opposite. Constantly 1 - 2 bars less of service with the evo dropping to 'no service' where the TP2 at least had 1 or 2 bars. After many years with HTC products, Fuze, Tilt2 on ATT and the TP2 and EVO with Sprint I have found that its really hit or miss with their products. Some phones of even the same make and model are just better then others. The first Fuze I got had horrible horrible service. Went to the ATT store and they agreed, warranty replacement phone worked beautiful. Now with that said the EVO does seem to have consistently faster data speeds then the TP2 did. Between 600 - 900 with the TP2 and up wards of 1480 on a test I did yesterday with the evo. Still no where near the 2000 - 2500 the ATT network provided but they ticked me off with their two week tower outage in this area... what good is speed if the phone doesn't work?

I think the Incredible introduced Android to many people, and without insulting anyone, I think a lot of these people are first timers to rooting, Linux, etc... so we have lot of "unseasoned" people with itchy trigger fingers, and root :eek:

Considering that the reflash looks like it will be released any day/minute now, there are some things that I wanted to start a discussion on. Some of these may be answered at the time of the release by unrevoked... but none the less I'm going to start:

1) Koush's recovery has nandroid. I think that someone (maybe me when I get off of work) should write up a quick write up on how to use nandroid to back up your system/use it to flash new roms

2) I think that Koush's Rom Manager will work with our phones, not to mention that i really like it :D. There should be a quick post on what this is, and how to use this.

For all of the "seasoned" people in here, before posting "this in unnecessary, this already has been done for other phones, etc....": If you're going to post, please post something relevant and educational for people instead, or just request that the thread be closed.
