uhh.. I'm confused... who needs ipad netflix app when u can manage your queue from flixter???

You do realize the netflix app on the ipad actually streams the movie right? :)
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Judging from the enthusiasm, I'm gonna guess the OP doesn't.
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
I didn't know it streamed movies... I guess its cool over wifi but with the new data changes and people that didn't lock into the unlimited plan...netflix is pretty much useless.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
You know, except for when you're streaming movies over wifi or on your unlimited dataplan (which everyone who had an AT&T unlimited data plan a week ago still has), yeah - netflix would be entirely useless. But at least you could adjust your queue!

:-/

<-- wants streaming.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
Good thing I still carry unlimited data. mwahah
[Nexus One General] ikarma:
Speaking of netflix on the toilet.... Who else has seen the new Samsung Android phone with the pico projector? I could totally see myself killing an hour on the toilet at work projecting the image on to the stall door. Yay for timers on the bathroom lights!
[Nexus One General] walie:
Movies by Flixster was originally an iphone app
[Nexus One General] jasrups:
Lol I love the Android enthusiasm but this thread is just fail, no offence.
[Nexus One General] Zenoran:
ehhh... I agree watching a movie over 3G is pretty pointless... and those new data plans are a joke for streaming media like that... it just makes me happy I didn't pay extra for the 3G version of the iPad, especially when I am hardly ever away from wifi. Even in that kind of a situation I'll remain content with my wifi hotspot Nexus to feed the iPad if it needs it. :)

but having netflix laying in bed or while visiting my parents who don't have cable is pretty cool. :)
[Nexus One General] nxt:
Ahahahah I just saw this thread, I never use/say this, but this thread is an EPIC FAIL.

Movies was first on iPhone. It's now on Android

Netflix app on iPad streams movies. (So what if it's wifi only, 3G is coming soon, again so what about data restrictions, at least they'll have it).

Netflix app coming on iPhone soon, also wifi and 3G streaming soon.

Now, on Android, to stream Netflix......... still waiting for even a rumor....
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
And GUI was developed by Xerox, whats your point?
[Nexus One General] nxt:
LOL, the point is, the OP bragging about the Movies app being on Android and being able to edit Netflix queue.
[Nexus One General] TurboTsi:
Well I appreciate this thread because I didn't know how to add movies. I tried this past weekend and I swear I didn't see that option. So thanks original poster!

Makes since that there was a movies app in the iphone first since well the iphone came out first!
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
I don't really care about streaming Netflix on my Nexus One...I might hurt my "retina" watching it on my small screen. I have a LCD and a Xbox 360 to do that....but I can adjust my DVD queue with an awesome netflix app, while I sit on the toilet or am away from a computer.

Lets say you have limited data:

Are you going to use your limited data to stream a movie??? Hard earned payed data to watch a movie??? Why not play an iPad/iPhone game? Why not do something productive with your data...

I say wifi because I'm assuming they don't charge you for data, so you use a wifi connection.

Unlimited Data Plans: I'm sure lots of people have this and give you guys a thumbs up when netflix for iphone comes out.
[Nexus One General] nxt:
You can also try "PhoneFlicks" which I prefer since it's job is to edit your Netflix queue., rather than Movies which is an all encompassing "movies" app that does all kinds of stuff.

[Windows Mobile] kurniawan77:
I have dumped the Leo 3.01 with AirExtreme's Oskithen Zero. Left everything in as it is... Ported Sys to 23569... (still need to do some bug fixing like phonecanvas etc and some tweaking) and all is working ok.. almost. Found out when i was on a weekend trip that Google Maps wasn't working. On startup it was only loading...after long waiting it threw me an error saying no data connection winihttp blablabla:confused:.. But i was sure that i had a connection cause at the moment i was looking for a fix over here (xda) and still having email, twitter, location service, wheather etc..

After searching a while someone posted that after doing Setup Connection Setup again it all worked fine, so i tried... and guess what... working again!

Simply don't get it. On first startup Connection setup did it's worked perfectly! even sets the time correctly...I was wondering if there were any others chef's or users having the same trouble or maybe even a fix for this???
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veseliq:
Hello!

First of all - I'm new to android, bought my phone week ago. I love it! (Had Symbian previously).

Now I have a rooted T-Mobile G2, VillianROM 10.2 and while it might be ROM specific, I think it might count for every 2.1 rom.

On my HOME screen there is Phone button in the bottom. When I click it, I get listed the latest people I've talked to, and below, there are Facebook + Phone contacts. This drives me nuts! In facebook, there are many people I'm very very unlikely to meet any soon or call, so I don't want them there. They are like hundred. I want just my phone contacts listed.

When I click menu button - there are "Phone settings" with just 3 checkboxes and nothing relative to filters and also there is People button and in People app - my contacts are separated properly, but I dont want to go there. I'd love to be able to use the search of phone screen without searching in facebook contacts.

Is this possible?

Thank you so much!

[HD2 General] mikesher:
Hi,

I have an HD2 with ROM 1.66 and radio 2.06.51.07. Every so often my phone switches itself off for no apparent reason and then switches back on again as far as the PIM code screen. Now it is doing this at exactly the same time every day (23.46). I assume a program is trying to access the internet at this time but can't find which. Any suggestions? is there a log I could access?

Thanks, Mike
[HD2 General] jamieeeee:
could you give us more information? like what programs you have installed etc.
[HD2 General] mikesher:
Hi

I have a number of programs installed such as weather4me, phoneweaver, sbs mobile shell, calendar touch and others. None were installed at the same time this problem started. Where possible I do not give programs permission to access the internet online automatically - not even email programs. I have checked phoneweaver and profiles do not activate at this time. I cannot think of programs that activate at this precise time. I assume either a program is starting up at precisely 23:47 or it is trying to update online at this precise time every night. However, I have no idea which one. was hoping there was a simple way to access a log and find out.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goodtilltomorrow:
hey guys, i have a question. i'm using a stock charger for my t-mobile touch pro 2 but everytime i connect the charger it asks if im going to use activesync or disk drive.

right now i'm using the stock rom with win 6.5

any help would be great.

thnx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Eclipsed24:
Hi Goodtilltomorrow,

Would like to help, but what is the question? :)

If you are charging via the USB connection then it will ask you what type of connection you want (whilst also charging).

My solution for charging only, is to select Disk Drive and then to 'safely remove device' using the icon in the system tray.

That way the device is not using any additional power (above normal standby) but is charging from the USB port.

If it's asking about activesync or Disk Drive via a mains power source then I am as confused as you. :confused:

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goodtilltomorrow:
oh sorry.

i meant to ask, why is it asking where im charging from everytime i connect it to charge from the wall?

im using the stock charger and it never use to ask me where i wanted to use (Activesync or Disk Drive) when i just charged my phone from the wall.

how can i get rid of it doing that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Isard:
Does it charge at all? Mine does the same, but doesn't charge at all when the phone is on.

I can only charge it with the ac charger when it is turned of, or turned on using the usb on my laptop...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goodtilltomorrow:
yeah my charges. its charges even with the phone on.

i wonder why it does that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
every so often my charger does the same.. some pins must be pressed somewhere in the usb input. I haven't seen it negatively effect the phone in any way though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goodtilltomorrow:
this happens all the time though now.

no, it charges it which is fine but i hate it opening having to turn the screen off again and closing internet sharing everytime i want to charge it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
i have this posted in the dev section as well under the how to bootscreen thread... but ill repost on here... hopefully to get more traffic and someone out there good with audio that can help me add a decent sound to this:

its an apple-zaper in case you cant figure it out... it is a 2 part sceeny but i didnt want to post it that way... part one is the zoomin EVO... part 2 is a cycle with apple bugs flyin and dyin by the evo... :D

EDIT:

rename applezap_bootanimation.zip as bootanimation.zip and push to phone reboot to see it do its thing... my phone zaps 2 iphones before it fully boots fresh rom it should keep looping till booted

ill also post the layered tif image file for this boot... <- if you download this you know what to do with it...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
hmmmmm no one out there... with sound skills... wow... ok... ill guess keep waiting till i have time to create one...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
i could try something... but first:

how long does the animation last?

how fast, aka. FPS?

does it loop?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
the evo zooms in once and the the apple flying toward the evo loops... then again i can make it do anything... i can make more iphones fly towards it...

i can shoot you all the pngs that go into the bootanimation.zip ... but for some reason when i zip it up and create the dext.txt and push it to the phone it doesnt display right... so im trying to figure that one out right now...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
edited the post before, but you posted before i submitted the edits... see above
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
this might help...

7 frames for EVO to zoom in

16 frames for apple-zap ...

20fps ~ 1.2sec first loop...

right now im trying to figure out how to zip without compression and make a proper dext.txt as soon as i figure that out ill have a functioning bootanimation.zip and then proper timing can be done... any help is appreciated... :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
how flexible are you with the timings? I can make something but you might have to tweak the animation to fit the effects.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
he he he figured it out about the zip file... do you want me to send you a functioning bootanimation.zip then you could do the timing better... ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
hold on... lemme make a sample sound, and then we'll see if it'll be good fit with the animation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
sweeeeeeeeet :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
startup, including fx for EVO blur-in and the iphone hitting:

obviously i didn't eq/master this so it might not sound TOO good on the evo right now :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
Noooooooooooo WIFE IS MAKING ME LEAVE RIGHT NOW.... NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I SO WANTED TO FINISH THIS .... damn it... let me know if you want me to email you the bootanimation.zip if you wanna try before i get back home... i can email that from phone... damn it...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] frifox:
i'm at work, so can't do much more myself... did you make that animation yourself? if so, email me the source (project file, not final gif/png's), i'll time the fx to it... otherwise just pm the zip
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
I can't till I get home... now... its on the computer and I closed it like a dummy instead of leaving it open and remotely log in... :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SPENONE:
Hey can I ask, what program you used to create the boot animation??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
Mostly PhotoShop Elements 8, a lil Flash CS5 is in there as well but minimal...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SPENONE:
What is the resulting file type?...Just a standard GIF?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
No.

For the Evo, you'll want to create a sequence of images from the gif itself. You need to export the .gif file as a set of .png images.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wrx4memp:
Yup Yup... I will post the bootanimation.zip in the first post, that contains all the pngs and whatnot but for now I'm at a standstill with android stuff I'm so far behind work its scary...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dpilcher:
Like the zap boot...

..and was wondering if i could get some help with the APPLE DESOLVEone I'm working with. I'm new to this fun stuff and can't figure out how to get the darn thing to slow down. Audio file would be nice...but my weak skills won't even touch that...lol

Any help would be appreciated

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
I was on my way trying to root my incredible and had downloaded SDK and HTC Sync in the process. Well after trying for hours endlessly to root, I started messing around with SDK and when it initially loads it's set on the 'installed packages' tab and there is a button that allows you to refresh and update all. Well I hit one of those two buttons (I forget which) anyway it gave me a list of packages to install and one of them said 'SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, Revision 1'

I'm really new and pretty clueless to Android, but I am already looking forward to the froyo upgrade. I was wondering.. is this it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
I was curious to see what would happen if I clicked 'install' so I did. It now says 'Installing Archives' and its going verrrry slow.

Is this just installing some type of archives onto a folder on my HD?

I don't get it...

I'm lost over here

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nevermind I think I answered my own questions
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morkon:
no, that is for developers making apps for Froyo.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoop762:
I think its a pretty safe bet that Android devs will achieve full root and have a custom 2.2 before VZW gets around to pushing it out.

[HD2 Accessories] Jalaluddin:
Hey everyone,

I recently purchases a custom zagg skin and the invsibleSHIELD ,

The zaggskin is easy to put on the back of your HD2 , its a little bit smaller, but that makes the process of putting it on easier (It took me like 2 min?),

Before the invsibleSHIELD I tried various screen-protectors , but I always had bubbles or dust underneath them.

With the invsibleSHIELD I just followed instructions , and volla , no airbubles, no dust , its makes the screen even brighter.

One negative point about it, its pricey , i ordered mine during Memorial Day (50 percent off),

Regards,

PS: Sorry for my bad english
[HD2 Accessories] Sentinel196:
How can a cover make the screen brighter? Are these skins polarized or something? I'm curious.
[HD2 Accessories] Munto:
All this is rubbish, I understand the need for a big silicon or hard cover to protect your phone from drops but what is the point of the invisible shield when you cant scratch the phone anyway. There is no way it can make the screen brighter, or make you see better in the sun.

Some screen protector companies even claimed that only the person looking right at the device can see the screen, so therefore if someone was trying to peak over to see what you are doing they couldn't, well I ordered that and obviously it is not true not even slightly dimmed from the sides. :) so don't believe everything they say.
[HD2 Accessories] gourary:
invisible shield

i wont take the chance of scratching my screen even if its impossible :)

invisible shield is not only on the front but on the back too.

its less sensitive for oily fingerprints - maybe that is why it looks a little bit brighter than without. before i had it, it was difficult to see in sunlight and now its better.

plus, the device wont slip of your hand, again do to the back cover.

so, i recommend invisible shield sincerely

cheers
[HD2 Accessories] unni3063:
thumbs down

My zagg sheild pretty much rendered my HD2 useless. The screen was really desensitized way too much. I'm not surprised...the zagg shield is so thick and durable that if I didn't have to "touch use" my screen, it would have been perfect. I ended up tearing of the $20+ protector and discarding it...
[HD2 Accessories] Jalaluddin:
No problems here, and the screen protector isn't that thick, its just even thick like any other screen protector ,
[HD2 Accessories] d0ug:
The HD2 screen can be scratched, there are examples of it on this forum, just search.

Spending $10-20 on a quality screen protector is probably the cheapest insurance you could get to protect your screen if/when you scratch the protector and the scratch becomes unbearable, spend $10-20 on a new one

Though Ive not seen one before for mobile phones, there are privacy screens for laptop/desktop monitors. These screens significantly blur the image unless you are directly in front of the screen, if you tilt the screen more than 10degrees or so the screen will blur. These are used a lot in medical/financial institutions, sensitive departments within companies like HR. Ive seen these appearing on ATMs now too

I will agree there is no protector that will make your screen "brighter" that's just about impossible, anything put over the screen is actually going to attenuate any light coming though it, though it may not be perceivable. Certain protectors may eliminate screen glare, making the screen easier to see in certain lighting conditions
[HD2 Accessories] dick turpin:
ohhh yeah, believe me the screen CAN be scratched! got two very nice ones to prove it.:mad: lol
[HD2 Accessories] Jalaluddin:
Well about the brighter , i have the the shield now for a week, the screen looks better because there are no fingerprints on the screen , further its scrolls smoother
[HD2 Accessories] BumAround:
Sorry but I'd stay clear from Zagg's Invisible Shiled as it is not really effective nor fully stand their claim "as advertised".

After 3-4 months of use (in tropical countries or desert areas), the sands/dirts snug into the linings, then started to peel off little by little.

Had this product on my Fuze and then my Topaz a while back, not very happy about it. :(

The only good things about the product is (1)fancy retail packaging, and (2)their screen protector. Sorry.
[HD2 Accessories] erosennin:
This cover is useless. I removed it after a couple of hours. What's the use of having a screen protector that doesn't cover the whole screen? Apart from the fact that it makes the screen look ugly.
[HD2 Accessories] Dangerously:
It needs to sit for at least 12 or more hours to let the solution and bubbles disappear. If you had it on for a couple of hours and not days, then you did not read the instructions :rolleyes: If applied properly you should not see it. If it looks ugly, it was not done properly or you did not let it cure long enough before using the device.

I have noticed that not all of the plastic used with Zagg products seem to be the same. I have applied one on my Tilt2 (aka. Touch Pro 2) and it did not feel like the texture of an "orange peal" like I have seen written in some reviews. I no longer have the Invisa Shield on the screen as it started to come up on the edges by the chrome phone edging causing lint, dust, etc. to collect under. I also noticed it turn a slight yellow. The colour change was odd as I don't smoke or hang out with smokers. It could be from rubbing against the lining of my leather case I kept it in (although it has a black lining).

At my work we have a Zagg promo for Apple iPads and this is where I have come across the "orange peal" texture on a few of the installs. I don't think it is due to improper install as we always use the same solution and method of install for each one.

In short:

the pros: it protects well against scratches and minimizes the look of finger prints

the cons: could gain a yellow tinge after several months, not easy to remove dust/dirt if it gets under edges, and not easy to apply first time around for most.

My advice for capacitive screens is to not spend lots on a screen protector. The cheep vinyl protectors may not look as good but will work just as well. Remember: all capacitive screens are made of glass which will not scratch under normal use. If you keep your phone in your pocket, the chances for scratching will increase as sand or tiny bits of gravel can collect in the lining and rub against the screen. Even keys can scratch if enough pressure is applied. For those who saw the YouTube HD2 scratch test, did you see how much pressure was applied to the keys, knife, and scissors? Not enough to scratch it, add enough and it will...
[HD2 Accessories] Jalaluddin:
How many times there have to be said that this capacitive screen is not made from GLASS, there are enough people one the web which HD2 got scratched, believe they will scratch ;)
[HD2 Accessories] Phenomenon:
I have the full body zagg skin. Gotta say it's great. Simple to apply and really keeps the device from getting scratched. Even protects the corner. Don't get what the complaint above was about. It covers the screen so wtf are you talking about? Only thing I wish they'd fix is that you can't apply a skin or case over it. If you do it'll get stuck to it unless it's like a cloth case or something. Hope they fix that issue one day. Still not bad, plus I did like the OP and ordered on Memorial Day for like 12 dollars.
[HD2 Accessories] ilordvader:
How does it cover the Back ?

[HD2 Accessories] Jalaluddin:
