[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
I'm using a simple HTC mail windget (1x1), and I have the email account set to check for mail every 30 minutes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

The mail is sure checked when the phone is on or when I go into the mail program manually, but when the phone is off, regardless of whether the mail program is running in the background - it's intermittent.

The only difference from stock settings - 3G mobile data is not always on.

On nexus one, this works just fine.

Oh yeah, this is for pop3 and hotmail accounts.

Oh yeah, and I tried k9, but it was superbuggy - creating phantom emails, then deleting some of my hotmail emails etc.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
Any clues on how to trick the phone to check emails regularly on schedule?

K-9 is really giving me a lot of grief with "no subject" problems (though it checks mails properly like clockwork).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekanth1:
Sorry for being a noob, i have the g1 dream sim free, it has 1.5 on it it has no market app. and when i hard reset it does not ask me to register but comes straight to home screen with clock

base - 62.41s.20.13u_2.22.16.17

kernel - 2.6.27.00205-gf2dabco android-build@apa27 #15

build - 125040

how can i update this device please help. :confused::confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawitt1995:
I think if you know your kernel etc. you have root rights, am I right?

If yes, just flash the google apps. You find the link in the cyanogen 5.0.7 thread.

If not, I don´t know what you can do
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekanth1:
not sure what right i have, m looking for the goole apps .. but is there a market app which can be installed, thanks for your reply by the way. though i was lost for a bit
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breakthecycle2:
I'm confused...so did you fix it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adamsville MITM:
gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed

search for that ^
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekanth1:
nope have not fixed it yet. seems like its a original dev phone but it came boxed brand new. in the mean time, the data sync does not open

and

system update gives the error - com.setting error or something like that..

im looking into gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, thanks for all your help..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitabhishek:
You can get Gapps from here:

However Gapps is not an .apk file. You need to flash Gapps with the help of a recovery ROM & for that you need to have Android SDK installed. If all this is latin and greek to you; you should visit here

I would also suggest you to go through ROM Bible sticky in this section.

Alternatively you can unzip gapps file and look for marketUpdater.apk in system>app folder and install it manually. I have not tried this method ever but you can give it a shot; it will not brick your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekanth1:
Thanks for the answer guys, i think i have a dev phone had a look at the rom bible so i can root i . but i dont know what rc versoin the device is cos this does not exist in the build number as in post one. also can you recommend a stable rom update for a beginner.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sreekanth1:
at amitabhishek the first link you have posted does not work, also is there a way to root a dev phone, or is it already unlocked dont want to try a rom and brick the phone.
[EVO 4G General] Turbo4V:
I did a search, but couldn't find anything, so here goes...

When I'm watchinh a movie/video, I figured the button LED's (home/menu/back/search) would eventually turn off, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a setting someplace that can disable those LED's after some amount of inactivity?

Thanks!

[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:
i was hoping for this too. there's program that works for the n1 and droid called LEDsHack. perhaps we could see if the dev can support the evo too. it allows you to turn the notification and menu leds on or off.
[EVO 4G General] boredmug:
i would love this too as those stupid buttons bleed light onto my screen and it really looks like **** and bugs the hell out of me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Se7enLC:
When I run the Android package manager utility (pm) from a terminal emulator, it never returns to the commandline. It does perform its function, it then just sits there until I hit ctrl-C. Thoughts/Suggestions? Is this normal, or is there a fix for it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Is USB Debugging enabled? Seems weird but I've had similar behavior from am when it was disabled.
[Droid Incredible General] th3drow:
ok, so i enjoy the swype keyboard but realized there is no voice input button for it. Am i pretty much out of luck with this unless i want to use my old keyboard or is there a way i can use voice input somehow with this like with a long hold of something.
[Droid Incredible General] anothen:
for speech to txt you have to use the stock keyboard for now... Swype will probably have that option in the future but for now, no such thing
[Droid Incredible General] Humpa:
So grabbing the official version is no better than using any of the of swype apk download links floating around? :(

It is tough to ask us to switch to a different keyboard when that keyboard takes away the voice input option that Android has given us.
[Droid Incredible General] anothen:
no- just check the version #. (Current as of today: 1.56.30.7625.t100)

The 'official' version is the same just handed out by Swype
[Droid Incredible General] anothen:
i think swype blows anything else out of the water when using the keyboard itself. I never really used the speech to txt unless driving so I just switch back when I need it.... a long press in the text box, then select the original keyboard.
[Droid Incredible General] Humpa:
Yeah, I'm just being difficult today.

I do really like the Swype keyboard. I'm not a big texter, I barely text - but I'm a big fan of technology and am a programmer so I definitely can appreciate the Swype keyboard app. I just want that damn button. ;)
[Droid Incredible General] anothen:
yeah, I hear ya. I'm sure it will come eventually.... They say in their forums on their website that they are aware of the demand and that's basically it. At least they've acknowledged it so I'm sure it will come.
[Droid Incredible General] abe01:
Wow I've using swype today for the first time and its amazing!
[Droid Incredible General] superflysmith:
When using swype, instead of swyping hit menu from there you have a speak button for talk to text
[Droid Incredible General] Humpa:
If we wanted to add in multiple button presses to get to things we'd get an iPhone ... lol :rolleyes:

j/k .. obviously we have to live with it for now, but at least they are "aware" of it. Not that they're going to change anything though.
[Droid Incredible General] mtxpert:
I just found the arrow button screen by swyping from swype menu button to alt button, there's open spot there for it.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Darn. My version doesn't have that.
[Droid Incredible General] g0nad:
Mine either :/
[Droid Incredible General] Alazka:
I think he means hold down the Search the physical button on the phone that however only uses the google search integrated in your phone it cant be used for inputing text into specific entry fields
[Droid Incredible General] waynester:
I use handsent, and yes when you hit menu with swype keyboard on screen you have option of "speak" and it enters into the message area.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Just tested and mine doesn't do that. What version of Swype are you using?
[Droid Incredible General] g0nad:
On my inc, I get to the same menu by swyping form the swype menu button to the SYM button right next to it. Hope that helps others that can't find it, it may be difference on your hardware version.
[Droid Incredible General] immjg:
I don't see a microphone. Could you explain how this works?

What app are you in at the time?
[Droid Incredible General] rmk40:
The "speak" option is part of Handcent, not a function of the keyboard. I think a lot of people have been confused by the lack of clarity there.

There is no way to use speech input with Swype itself without switching to the stock keyboard. Any option to speak while the Swype keyboard is selected is purely a function of the application you happen to be using at the time.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
I think you are partially correct. I DO have the "Speak" option when using Handcent and Swype. I DON'T have it when using K-9 and Swype, though.
[Droid Incredible General] Humpa:
He's 100% correct. :D

He said it was a function of Handcent. You have the option if using Handcent and ANY keyboard.

It is not a function of Swype, so unless K-9 has it as an option like Handcent does, then you won't see it in K-9 with Swype of course. ;)
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Well, when he said, "There is no way to use speech input with Swype itself without switching to the stock keyboard." That's not entirely true from the perspective that you don't have to use the stock keyboard to use voice with Swype..... when you're using Handcent (and maybe other apps).

I get what he's trying to say - I'm just trying to make it clear that you can use voice-with-swype in some applications, such as Handcent. Maybe I'm just muddying the waters. If so - sorry. :cool:
[Droid Incredible General] Humpa:
ok, yeah the waters are getting muddied. But I see what you're saying. ;)
[Droid Incredible General] wryun:
Excellent tip! Thank you for sharing. I did not know you could switch between input methods. This will be my resolution until swype enables speech. :D
[Droid Incredible General] decalex:
Apparently, there's a version out there that has a voice button:

From Engadget - Samsung Epic

http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-epic/#3129895

Looks a little bit cramped (I think this phone has a 4" display too), but this would still be awesome.
[Droid Incredible General] YACO:
sweet! ^^

if anyone runs across the EPIC files we need to extract the swype.apx from it...
[Droid Incredible General] cray1000:
does anyone know the difference between the reg. official version of swype and the incredible version on droid life? and any way to knpw which one i have. i got it directly from swypes beta sign up so idk if it asked me if i had an INC.

Also i love swype but have huge fingers and find i cant use it cause it doesnt have pop up keys. is there an option ot turn that on? anyone else have this issue? i need to see where my finger is and just cant cause its too big!
[Droid Incredible General] SR3TLAW:
Is their a keyboard that is similar to the iPhone, has more spacing than stock incredible..
[neoTouch S200 General] luka81:
Hello everyone,

First I apologize for my English

I would try re-flashing the ROM, or possibly restoring a previous nandroid.

How long has this been happening for? Any more info on how it might have happened? Did you mess around with any XIM.apk or keyboard layouts?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theshow4life:
i tried to wipe it and everytime i have to press the home button the phone shuts off. and no i didnt mess with anything my g.f had the phone in her purse the whole day and when i when to use it it was doing this. itjust started to do like 2 days ago. if i was to hold any of the buttons i said before that are giving me problems the backlights of the buttons go crazy and blink its crazy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slopes:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theshow4life:
thanks dude ill give it a shot
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
Err guys, this sounds more like a hardware problem then a software problem, no matter how many times you wipe it will remain like that. Try the "how to remap any key on your G1 thread" here.

Maybe water seeped into the hardware? Wiping through adb does the exact same thing as wiping through terminal, terminal is just more convenient that's why it was put in recovery.

No matter what you do software wise you probably won't be able to fix the keys. Since this just happened while it was in your girlfriend's purse it couldn't have done anything really by itself.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Exactly what I was thinking..

It sounds like moisture or even dust has gotten into the keyboard and shorted out a track. I believe the keyboard and front buttons are all linked together and the keyboard would be the easiest place for a short to occur.

Open it up and give it a good cleaning.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theshow4life:
so i wiped the phone and not it wont boot all the way so i said what the hell ill load a different rom so i did that and now my buttons are working fine so far.

Thanks everyone for the help
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroskyy:
Ive gone through just about every Froyo ROM, and the best results that Ive come across has been with Rodriguez 1.8 and pershoot's 1.113 OC kernel.

I was getting over 45 mflops on linpack

and over 1600 on quadrant standard

Then I tried moving around alot and ive been playing with Evil's 1.228 OC kernel, which for some reason is showing less performance benchmarking wise

im getting about 42 mplofs on linpack

and a little over 1500 on quadrant standard

So what has everyone else found as a fast setup? (again, benchmark wise)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
With "stock" Froyo (first version released by Paul) I could get 40.7Mflops with Lin and 1425 with Quad. Im happy with the original combo of stock kernel and stock ROM for now.:)

hi at the moment im using cyanogenmod 5.0.7 and i cant send a mms i figure out i had 2 apns one default and one mms i delete deafult one because cause me edge data transfer and i have no plan for the moment im thinking in upgrade. i just have my n1 so im wondering anyway to avoid edge data transfers?since if i activate again default apn i can send mms. but will be annoying keep switching. im using only use 2g networks

like a plus question, its anyway to disable AGPS? i want use GPS but im afraid next bill will be A LOT for data transfers, i used have a incite and i didint turn off the agps and for like 5 min my prepaid card was empty :S thanks in advance

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen kun:
thanks a lot i will chec it ;D

will work with agps?or something? thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It will block all data. AGPS won't work unless you have data connection available, if there is none - it'll just function as regular GPS.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DeMiNe0:
I started using Co Pilot, and it seems to work pretty well. Maps are well priced too. It stores the maps on the SD Card. So no data is needed.

I tried NDrive but the zoom feature sucks and roads disappear way to quickly. Also it seems there is no way to add via point to you route.

Just tried Destinator 9 and WAZE

Both have a deal breaker for me that if you zoom out the roads disappear too quickly making it next to impossible to plan off road riding routes.

just wanted to see who is keeping the hero as long as they can or ditching it the second they can. i just feel a little lonely cause everyone is moving onto the evo. i am proud to say that i am keeping my hero for atleast a few more years.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I'll be keeping mine until I find something that I can't live without. I am trying to hold out for a super phone that isn't 4g. Just seems like a waste since it is not anywhere near me at all, and won't be for quite some time I'm sure.

Though, the new Samsung Galaxy S Pro is looking pretty dang tempting (3x more powerfull than EVO/Nexus processor)
[Hero CDMA General] Dave2582:
I've had my Hero since January. I've been poking around the EVO forums, and since my dad has one, I'm not sure if I want to switch when I can upgrade or have cash up front. The Evo looks nice with a bigger screen compared to the Hero. I'm still not sold on the Evo as of yet. I'm sticking with my Hero since it's been tweaked to my liking.
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
I'm bouncing back and forth. The "next generation" android phones are supposed to be coming out by year-end. Not sure what that means, exactly, but something better than the Evo might be out by then. I have to wait until October to upgrade anyway. I might also be out of a job for a time, depending on what happens here at the office. My girlfriend has expressed an interest in my Hero after I upgrade, though, so I guess I might be keeping it in that respect. Who knows?
[Hero CDMA General] gomorrah:
Im keeping my Hero until the first Android phone comes out with at least a SnapDragon processor and Froyo pre-loaded. Hopefully Sprint will get something like this (prolly not) so if its on T-Mo then so be it.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
New phones were exciting when they used to be released once every year or two. Nowadays, with a hot, new phone coming out every few weeks, I don't bother with it any more. I am sticking with my Hero until it breaks and then I will buy whatever has replaced the EVO used on eBay for $50.
[Hero CDMA General] JsChiSurf:
Most likely keeping mine until at least October, when I'm eligible for the yearly upgrade.

Read about way too many issues with the EVO, including improperly grounded touch screen, touch screen lag, 30 fps limitation, build quality, etc.

I'm pretty satisfied / happy with my Hero for now, especially the way I have it running ;).
[Hero CDMA General] cp0020:

Staying.. my hero does what i need it to.. plus have to much fun trying roms and such.. the evo is nice.. but i have up my 30 dollar sero for the hero.. dont want to pay that extra 10 dollars for the 4g when its 40 miles away. :-)
