(1) Well I've read up on alot of opinions about task killers but everyone has mixed views. I use it cause when memory goes low for me it goes bit sluggish.. don't know whether its freeing up memory during that time or what not!!

(2) not used opera in ages but I think i'd still pick dolphin browser.. its cool.

(3) swype is just amazing.. makes texting soo much easier and fun! I remember how annoying it was texting before!

(4) astro does the job for me an all ;-)

(5) don't used mixzing but I'm sure I tried it some time ago.. for me meridian music player does the job for me.. specially like the music control widget and the fact that it doesn't drain much battery!

(6) I've tried helix a while back.. it was ok, not tried the others tho except for adw launcher. for me adw lookz slick, has alot of options to customize & is good on battery.. Worth a shot!!

(7) some people find this app really useful.. unfortunately for me it didn't work.. lol honestly widget never showed any improvements to my battery life and instead used to drain little more..

(8) Ive not really used startup auditor so can't say 100% but most of the useless stuff still hapen to load here and there.. but I'm sure someone out there can give ya a better answer!!

(9) I've got it and I must say really impressive.. Puts yxflash to shame! lol

Extras

---------

You can try Countouch Launcher.. widget that does different things based on how many times you tap it! Has 25 slots!!

1 tap - open dolphin browser

2 taps - call john doe

3 taps - text john doe

And so forth.. The paid version allows for 4 widgets with 25 slots each!!

Dropbox - sync files between your computer and mobile device.. Useful for me cause allows me to backup files online, share with others, and more!!

Music Junk for music fans out there! really good at finding songs!! Preview & download songs, also possible to retrieve lyrics an all..

Hope it helps!!!

1) the only reason I use atk is to see what's running. Since I turned off autokill and stopped killing tasks manually my phone works better. Ie. Not as laggy, all apps work properly.

2) I use dolphin and the default browser the most. I keep opera and skyfire on hand if need be.

3) I wasnt feeling swype so I'm using better keyboard. I would say its a little bit better than the HTC one.

5) I use mediascape. It looks pretty and I find it meets my needs. Although a shake to skip to the next track option would be nice.

6) adw.launcher all the way. I charge my phone every evening and my usage varies a lot so I'm not sure how it is on battery life. Imo its more stable than a lot of the other home replacement apps and its very customizable.

7) haven't tried juicedefender for above mentioned reason.

8) afaik not until root is available. I found trial and error to be the best way to optimize your battery due to what kind of apps you use. For me, I only use GPS when needed and if I'm not going to use an app for a while I keep hitting back until it exits the program. That's it.

9) leave out everything before and including www. But make sure you're not posting links to warez.

Cheers

Note on ATK..

Just a heads up that on linux/Android, there should be no difference whether you have 5MB of RAM or having 250MB of RAM free. Think free RAM = wasted RAM.

The real pain is the CPU usage on background apps. Unfortunately, ATK doesn't show CPU usage (or at least it didn't for me).

On the other hand, Astro File manager has a tool built in which lists every app, service and process running. It also lists full details on resource usage for each item (CPU%, kB of RAM etc).

As for auto-kill, it has been warned that this could only screw up key services and apps from working. Additionally, it could potentially decrease battery performance as services and apps use processing power when they are killed and again when they start up again (over and over).

Personally, I noticed an increase in battery life after uninstalling ATK.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Higgins12:
1. Despite many say "Don't need it etc" i still use it. If memory goes below 30Mb the Phone becomes unresponsive and laggy. Besides i don't use autokill.

2. Not surfing much on the Phone so the Standard Browser does the Job for me.

3. HTC Keyboard for me , i just can't handly Swype and i find texting (sliding) very complicated with it. Not for me :-D

4. Astro all the way until Root.

5. Standard Music Player does the Job.

6. ADW Launcher works best for me.

7. Uninstalled because frankly it does nothing. Despite it says that it has saved double amount of Battery but i honestly can't see a difference.

8. Sadly no way to remove that crap until we have root :-(
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
So I was just wondering if anybody knew of good web browsers that had Flash support?

I've been using Skyfire and I'm loving how fast pages load and the homepage customization, just wondering if there were other browsers to pick from.
[HD2 General] random_username_:
opera 10 beta has flash that works on some sites and a browser called uzard web
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
theirs really nothing out there better than skyfire in terms of flash having flash opera it just slows down your phone and crashes the browser in my case. Im not too in with skyfire but to watch videos it does the job. I really hate the fact adobe dropped the flash 10.1 for windows mobile it was already half done.
[HD2 General] Anzze:
I tried Flash on Opera 9.7, but the results were awful - scrolling was impossible, and the lag... terrible.

On the other hand I quite like the Flash in IE. You can actually play some flash games with very little crashing - Dicewars ;).

I have files that I would like to use/know where they go but don't know how to packagethem :confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drgnlover:
There are a couple of ways to do this.. The main way is;

1. You need a folder called 'android' for the first part of the sequence and

2. Another called 'part1' for final sequence.

3. You need a desc.txt file with the following code:

480 800 30 p 1 1 android p 1 0 part1

4. Place all three (android folder, part1 folder & desc) into a zip file (do not decompress) and label the zip bootanimation.zip

I'm sorry if this has already been explained but I'm new to this stuff and I was wondering of anyone can give me a step by step at setting up remote desktop on the HTC Touch Pro2 and Vista Ultimate so I may access my desktop remotely from my phone.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thebrenda:
I know this does not directly answer your question, but what worked for me was to first getting it working between two desktop/laptop first. Then when I used the remote desktop on my device, it was easy. Google "Vista Remote Desktop".
[XPERIA X10 General] SrKag:
Is there some way to access the x10 though the computer to download pics that i have taken?

I have plug it into the pc and there is nothing recognized like the minisim 16g that is in it or the on-board storage.

I run win 7 so there's not much it misses.

I have been reading the forum for related stuff but coming up empty.

Ok i downloaded PC Companion I can access the phone, but still don't see the minisim, or pics that i took.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
I suggest using an app called Wifi File Explorer or Websharing. Search those apps in the market. These applications will only work with wifi on. It will use your Wifi and allows you to browse through your SDCard contents through a browser. No need for connecting cables to your computer.

Instructions:

1. Start the app (Wifi File Explorer or Websharing)

2. For Websharing, press the Start button. It will give you an IP address.

3. Type that IP address on your computer in your browser.

If you want to view pics, I would suggest Websharing cuz it allows you to view pics through the browser and thus allows you to see which ones you want to download to your computer. Wifi File Explorer only gives you a list of files.
[XPERIA X10 General] SrKag:
Thanks i will get to that right away.

In the mean time the place that i was looking for in showed up in PC Companion under File Manger. It open explorer and at first few times was not able to find the minisim. For some reason it showed up 20 minutes later under the file name DCIM.

I don't know why it didn't show but it does now.

But i am still going to try the programs.
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
Drag down the top notification bar...

Press USB connected...

Mount.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You can also just use Mediascape and Bluetooth the files to your computer (assuming you have bluetooth on your computer.)

It's what I do... very easy, fast enough, and requires no set-up or typing after the first time.
[HTC Excalibur] Ray_jai:
Hi,

How do u know if my phone is sim unlocked?

I have an international sim, and when I plug it in, it just says searching.

does that mean it's unlocked?

If it was locked, there would be a message pop up saying invalid sim or something. right?

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Herox:
It would probably say invalid or that it cannot be used.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
It should ask for an unlock code right after the windows mobile logo screen. If it didn´t, then, your phone is unlocked (SIM unlocked)

Regards
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
As Joe mentioned it should ask for an unlock code when you boot your phone, have you tried with other sim?

I f you want to unlock your phone go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355789
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Different if on 6.5 as it doesn't show the unlock screen, from looks of sig a 6.1.

Not in my current phone. In others it said invalid, but they were non smart phones.
[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
Did a batch backup (apps + data) with TB prior to installing DamageControl. The restore worked great, but there is something that I just noticed...

When I go to "Downloads" none of the apps that were backed up are in the list. If I go search for installed app, it shows up as "Installed".

So I tried "Market Doctor"... no luck.

Anyone experience this?

FIXED: Waited a while and it works. w00t.
[EVO 4G General] 06ms6:
It usually takes a little while for them to show up in the list. Try installing something from the Market and check back.

They'll be there eventually, just needs to refresh server side I think.
[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
Yep, it worked after about 30 minutes. Should have been more patient.

Thank you :)

I would ask what you did now that you want this closed? After weeks of trying to get root I finally am able to get in. Followed the steps did update.zip etc. Reboot and it appears I have no SU access. I am hoping this is a simple fix because for the last 2 hours I have been unsuccessful getting into adb shell.

[HTC Aria General] ko0ky:
Well, I'm just wondering what everyone else is thinking. I just purchased the aria after buying (and returning the motorola backflip) - which btw, I have to give *some* credit. I read a lot of bad things about the backflip and I have to say, I really didn't have all that many problems with the phone, i personally thought it was a step up from my tilt2.. I was at my wits end with either winmo or htc.. but the backflip just didn't have enough power for me and I feared att would take forever to release 2.1 for the device.

Anyway, so far ( my first few hours ) with the aria, I am quite impressed. I wanted a small device and I think this packs a nice little punch. My experience has been fairly good. There are a couple things I dislike already about the phone.. the speaker quality is really bothering me, I can barely hear when I'm getting a phone call, the actual handset sound quality is not bad, its crisp and clear, but not NEARLY as good at the backflip.. if anything the backflip should get some excellent credit for having a great speaker and sound quality. The headphones or ear buds are HUGE, I'm not a small guy, but how is someone suppose to stick those huge buds in their ear hole? I'm slightly concerned about battery life, but I understand this may be an issue with most of android phones (or 2.1 down maybe???) but really that's about the only downfalls I'm running into at the moment. Overall I am quite satisfied with the device and think I'm actually going to keep this one. I love how it's just zipping through most screens and programs. I seen some video reviews of android central putting it through some benchmark test along with 3 other devices and this aria kept up with them.. (and even beat the droid, yes, I know, droid has twice the resolution but still.. not bad). Oh and I was also really concerned with the low resolution of the device, I understand a higher res on such a tiny screen would make things very hard to read. This screen is very vivid and I don't know why I was so concerned anymore.

would I buy my mom this phone? heck yah, so far, it's ranked up there in my list of fav phones.. and maybe take the #1 spot here soon after more playing around. (YES, UNTIL MY NEXT DEVICE!!!)

well, just thought I would say Hi to all my fellow aria owners, see what you guys thought and maybe offer some opinions for others who haven't bought the device.
[HTC Aria General] _Opiate_:
I picked up the phone yesterday and I have to say I'm really enjoying it so far. For the 600mhz processor it's packing it's actually VERY responsive. I have been pleasantly surprised at the speed this little guy packs (and that's coming from a Nexus One owner!). The screen looks small when placed beside my Nexus One but while using the device I find myself having plenty of room to browse, type, and just about do anything. So far so good!

Ever since I got my Nexus One and ditched iPhone I've been looking at the Legend but didn't want to give up 3G. This device in my opinion is a smaller and more pocketable model. It has the same processor, screen size, and resolution but it's not AMOLED (which doesn't bother me because I can see it in sunlight) and runs just about identical software. Over all I'm impressed with the device.

Now hopefully it will see a root pretty soon and maybe even some ROMs/Kernels if were lucky!
[HTC Aria General] lorcharlie:
HTC Aria

I just registered to xda-developers to post about the HTC Aria. The thing about the phone is that it's FAST. For a 600MHz processor, it screams. I've seen the EVO 4G and Droid and the Aria seems to keep up in terms of smoothness. Listening to music, surfing the web and getting text at the same time is smooth.

I have the phone fully charged, with brightness set to automatic, and wifi turned on so we'll see how long the phone lasts through out a normal day.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel_cm:
I went to the ATT store yesterday to check the phone out in person. I was pretty impressed with its speed over all. I had no issues with the screen size what so ever. In fact... the fact that the phone is small and very thin (compared to my Tilt 1) makes it one of my first choices for a new phone. BUT... I'm out of contract with ATT on July 5th and am thinking of switching to sprint and getting an EVO but I have yet to get my hands on one to really compare. But again... the size of the Aria is very appealing to me. And I'm not so sure Sprint will have the coverage I need in all the places I go?

I REALLY hate how ATT neuters their phones!!! And hate it even more that i have an UNLIMITED data plan now...BUT.... ATT wants to charge me more a month for a new data plan for "smart phones". $5 more for 200megs $15 more for 2GBs, and I for get how much more if I want to teather... WTF??? I can teather NOW (and do often)... such a rip off... data is data and unlimited is unlimited in my mind!!! Sprint would be the exact same price I pay now for unlimited everything and and i could get an EVO.

I think my biggest concern with the Aria is that... until I root it, and am able to change radios, i'm worried about signal strength!!! My tilt was BAD until I installed the radio I have now around here. It was impossiable to travel and talk on it because I kept loosing signal. I drive a lot for work, and to some remote places too, I could look at my in dash NAV screen and watch the signal drop out every couple mins. Installed the battery eating monster and all was well. But I REALLY don't want to go through that again, I'd actually like it to be good out of the box (imagine that?)

I had recently played with a friends backflip and managed to lock it up inside 15mins and had to reboot it to get it to function again. Plus i didn't care for the keyboard on the outside and lack of 2.1 to start with... So I'm still on the fence... nice sized Arai but still have to deal with ATT, or go to Sprint, get an EVO and the great unknown of how my service will be. Live in 12866 but travle 100+ miles in every direction for work.

So far I'm 60/40 toward the Aria... maybe once it's rooted I'll make the jump??? IDK!

Chris
[HTC Aria General] lorcharlie:
Actually, if you already have an unlimited data plan, you can keep it as long as you like, even if you switch phones. I had the HTC Fuze for the longest time and as long a you mention that you want to keep your unlimited plan, you should be able to keep it.
[HTC Aria General] sentinel_cm:
I had this arguement with the people who work at the ATT store too... I couldn't get them to upgrade me to the Arai and keep my plan AS IS. I can get the phone via the store for $130, or $29 via ATT web site (both with 2yr contract extensions). But both require me to upgrade to the dataplan for smart phones. I'm going to try the 800 # and see if I can get my way... I have in the past.

Chris
[HTC Aria General] lorcharlie:
Those AT&T guys needs an update. When I went to get my phone on Sunday, I was the only informed person about the HTC Aria. They had to go online to find the phone cause they didn't believe me. I got the only one there that day.

BestBuy Mobile acknowledges that you have an unlimited plan and will keep you on it when I went to ask them on Saturday. If AT&T doesn't work, BB?
[HTC Aria General] cigaro5676:
go to best buy, i work there and at least at my location the mobile team knows all about the aria, its 129 and we dont have any mail in rebates, its all in store
[HTC Aria General] sentinel_cm:
I just spent 30 mins on the phone with ATT and here's where I got....

I'm told that I have the "wrong" data plan for the phone I have now. I find this amuseing because I bought the phone 2 years ago via the web site, and the plan in March at the ATT store. They tell me that as soon as I put my sim chip in the Arai my plan would be automatically upgraded, I call BS!!! (heard this from the guy in the store too). I gave them a "little bit" of hard time and talked to a manager too.

The manager was very cool and was willing to work with me... He offered to change me to the 200Mb smart phone data plan + unlimited text. This would bring my bill up $5 a month for the 2 year contract. He then offered me a $120 credit to my account to cover the extra $5 for the whole 2 years. I told him I wanted to think about it and he put a note on my account and told me I could do the online thing then call back and referance the note and get the credit.

So... I can upgrade to the Aria for $29 via att site, my bill goes up $5 a month, but they will give me a $120 credit to cover it. Not bad...

Now my thought process is this... IS 200Mb enough... I adverage about 15Mbs normally but with a full HTML browser and Android as a new toy will it be enough???? Or do I jump ship for Sprint and a $200 Evo???

Decisions decisions....
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
That really depends on how you are going to use it. If you use wifi most of the time and don't use 3G to do much multimedia streaming, then you should be fine. Don't download big email attachments and don't send them while on 3g. 200mb is not a lot of data for this type of smartphone, but if you don't want to pony up for more data, you can stay within 200mb with some discipline and judicious use of cell data. Restricting most of your playing to wifi will help a lot.

T-Mobile and Sprint both offer more attractive data plans that might work for you. But where I live and travel, only AT&T and Verizon offer the kind of service that make it worth having a cell phone at all. If I lived and traveled in a more urban area, I'd have a lot more choices.
[HTC Aria General] shark0807:
Here's some clarification on how the data plans work. In the past, there were a total of five data plans: Media Net, PDA, Blackberry, iPhone, and aircard data. Out of these five, only Media Net truly had unlimited data, but it was only for non-smartphones, such as the Samsung Eternity, or more recently, Samsung Sunburst, etc. The PDA, iPhone, and Blackberry plans were all $30, but none of them were truly unlimited. In the fine print on the brochures that had this plan, or if you ask any honest AT&T rep, you truly had a 5GB limit, just like the aircard plans.

This being said, you may have had Media Net on your phone before, but Media Net is not the internet plan associated with smartphones, the smartphone plans are. And if you did not have any of the smartphone data plans before, it is IMPOSSIBLE for AT&T (it is not a clickable option in the activation system any longer) to give you that old plan. For me, this doesn't matter. The AT&T online bill payment system has the option to see a nice graph of data usage for the previous six months to give you an idea of how much you use, and I think there is some truth to AT&T's statement that 98% of their users do not exceed 2GB. I myself peaked at 300 mb in May, so while my average is above the cheap $15 200 MB limit plan, It is well beneath the $25 2GB plan, which is cheaper than the archaic 5gb limit plans.

So you see, the unlimited smartphone data plan is a lie, there has never been one for AT&T (and of course, Verizon, because their plans mirror each other).
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
Not an owner yet.. but I have a renewal coming up, and I'm kicking the idea around. I've used Windows Mobile for a while now, but I really like the flexibility & apps available with Android.

I'm debating whether to just get the Aria, or use my upgrade to get an iPhone 3G, sell it then turn around & buy a Nexus one.

Assuming I do the adb thing to allow apps and then do a root to get rid of the bloatware, what would the pros & cons be between the Aria and the N1? I know the N1 has a larger screen and the faster processor, the Aria has the HTC interface.. is there anything other than that?
