[myTouch 3G Slide General] 1993cb7:
I searched but did not see anything.

Just wondering what exactly the T-mobile account sync is for?

I know it is definitely for contacts but what else?

It added a lot of crap to my phone and i want to remove it but unfortunately i have to do a factory reset and im not interested in doing that right now.

I swear i love this phone, but i don't understand why they included all this crap with the phone.

I get that it is a customized version of Espresso but omg is some of this crap useless.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kingofyo1:
answer: mostly contacts, partially for the other bloatware crap they got in our phones
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
I find it so ridiculous that their is 3 different contact storage places tmobile, google(standard for android and shoulda been left this way) and the sim. What in the world is tmobile or htc thinking?? what is the point of this??
[myTouch 3G Slide General] android007:
I agree man, i drove me crazy having the T-Mobile sync account! What it is for is your Mobile Backup (auto built into this phone unlike the last one). I have all my contacts on Google and link them to the people's Facebook, and that's what I like!

However, I noticed how obnoxious it was to have duplicate numbers for people who have a Google contact & a mobile backup contact. Also if you use the "Faves" function, it will auto create a t-mobile-based contact to sync with the website. So when you log in, you will click on "Faves" and see all of them there, in addition to Mobile backup.

I got pissed off, deleted everyone off mobile backup period, and backwards synced to my phone so there are NO mobile backup contacts. I said screw the "Faves" feature too because of how annoying it was. I really don't feel like I'm missing out seeing as Faves is just an upgrade to the myFaves UI for Android phones
[myTouch 3G Slide General] chadmd23:
It was a nice feature on BlackBerry as a backup of your contacts. It looks like it only syncs "faves" contacts now.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jammer5150:
Well I added my Exchange account and Faceook so I have 5 kinds of contacts. If you press the button next to the Home when in contacts you can select "view" and tell the phone which contacts you want to have show up when veing contact by placing a check next to them. I have T-Mobile, Google, Sym Card, Exchange Active Sync, and Facebook options.
[HD2 General] TexasBlack:
does anyone know the qik app on the evo....does it work for hd2....
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Evo = Android

HD2 = Windows

Do you think they will work together?
[HD2 General] rlee008:
QIK is on the Omarket, for Windows phones but it doesn't work on the HD2
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
Had QIK on my Omnia II which is WM6.5, so in essence it should be possible to get it working on HTC.

But http://bambuser.com/ seems to work fine with HD2.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah there's been a working version for the TP2 for a while now, QIK just needs to get off their butts and certify it so it'll work on the HD2. *ahem*

Have you tried bambuser.com yourself yet phantoms? It doesn't say it's supported, but of course that doesn't mean it won't work :D I may give it a shot myself in a few min
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
If I buy a used G1 on ebay, can my neighbor just put her sim card in it without any web plan? She has a regular voice and text plan on T-Mobile with a cracker jack nokia flip phone and it's a hassle for her to send and receive texts. I figured she can get a phone with a keyboard and make her life easier.

Does she have to turn anything off so she doesn't get charged for web service?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDeadWalk:
without a data plan its gonna be hard to get past the activiation screen.

all she would need to do is

get a sim with someone who has data,

go through the setup creating her own gmail account

then when she;s at the home screen power off and swap sims again.

she wont have internet but the basics will work!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
I have an iPhone on T-Mobile with data. So I can use my sim and put it in her G1 and where do I find the next steps in activating everything?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDeadWalk:
no sim = unpassable NO SIM screen.

sim without data = activation/learn how to use screen, cant continue after wanting to create gmail account

sim with data = get to step above but it will create the account and allow you through to the home screen.

so yes, as long as the sim has data, she should be ale to activate.

just remember to tell her that the phone is much more fun with data ;D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
Thanks. Once I get her to see how much fun and easier to use a smart phone is I'm sure she'll eventually get a data plan.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.a.M:
actually I think the only way to get pass it is with a android data plan, Im not sure of the other data plans t-mobile has.

But I have had my G1 for a year w/o data.I got 5MB of free data when I bought it so you can try it even though your getting it used.I still had this problem when I was rooting it though because I had to log-in without the data.I did by going through the adb shell or something its kind of difficult.

Maybe someone else can give you more information
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
Ok I got it and I installed the sim card from my iPhone. I went through the activation process and I created a generic gmail account and have been using the G1 for the last 30 minutes. Have it also working through the wifi at home too.

Now I have to install her sim to see what happens.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Download APN droid so that her phone doesn't connect to data services. They will charge her per MB if she doesn't.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
I got pretty good at modifying the iPhone and next week I have to learn the EVO. I hope what I learn with this G1 I can use with the EVO later!

I went into MARKET on the G1 and searched APN and all I got was APN Italy and APN Movilphone. Where do I get APN DROID and how do I install it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
The app's name is "APNdroid" by martin adamek. It's in the market.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
I must be doing something wrong. I'm going into the market and searching for APNdroid and it keeps telling me

There are no matches in Android Market for the search : APNdroid

Do I have to be rooted or jailbroken or is it another Market not the one on the stock G1 ? Do I have to do it while connected on the cellphone or can I do it over wifi?

I'm not an idiot, I mean how hard is it to do a search, but this is making me nuts!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AeroCare:
OK Now I know what happened. I've been playing with the G1 since yesterday but for some reason today it decided to update its version. It asked if I wanted to update it and I said yes. Apparently the previous owner had never updated it. I now have a way prettier and more modern looking Market and it found the app quickly when I searched for it.

I installed the app and it's working great. I knew I couldn't be that dumb!

Thanks a lot for your patience.
[Desire General] sunilnc:
Hi,

I've had my desire for a few weeks now and am loving it. Only problem is that when Google release an update, it takes HTC and then the mobile operators forever to release the update.

Is there a way to do the following:

- install a default android 2.2 ROM; so when an update is issued by Google I can get it...Ive heard the desire is the same as the Nexus one, so can I use the same generic nexus rom?

- install a generic htc rom so that when HTC update their software, i dont have to wait for the my operator to do so.

If i install the nexus rom, can i revert it back to the HTC rom later?

What do you guys recommend?

thanks in advance.
[Desire General] choccy31:

Use the Search button and or look through the threads before you post.

No you can not, untill HTC releases there version with Sense
[Desire General] abc27:
The speed difference between Android 2.2 and Android 2.1 is really hard to notice barr a few apps. It really isn't worth the tradeoff for now, Sense UI is far better than stock Android regardless.

[Touch CDMA General] jadenj5:
is there a good swype keyboard for 6.1??
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to General.

And to answer your question.... I don't think swype is compatible with anything below 6.5, but I could be wrong.
[Touch CDMA General] scotttr:
It works on the stock VZW 6.1 rom.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Then, I guess I was wrong :D

Thanks scotttr!
[Touch CDMA General] nubie:
Here ya go!

I have the original swype and the new 3.3 (swype 2) version cabs.

swype 1= tested and works with 6.1& 6.5

swype 2= tested and works with 6.5, haven't tested for 6.1.

I dont like the new version because it's not as fast as the original and also takes up more than half of the screen. the 1st version may be a bit hard to read but is lightning fast imo.

Ofcourse, you can set the speed and error tolerance by going to start>settings>personal>input (make sure swype is selected)

but none the less, here are both.

Have a Nice Day

[highlight]Mod Edit: attachments removed since Swype is not a free distribution software[/highlight]
[Touch CDMA General] lmanlo:
There's a similar software to swype

The Similar software is Shapewriter, works like swype and it's not bad, it works on the HTC Touch or all Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0.

Here's the link: www(dot)shapewriter(dot)com/download/windowsmobile(dot)php

(. replaced by dot)

I've been using it without registering but seems a good software to pay for it and that would take care of the asking of activation.

Hope this helps anyone looking for this kind of keyboard.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkahn6:
Hi,

My sister has a 2.1 OTA with HBOOT version 1.47 S-ON. Can anyone point to a guide that will explain how to get root? Is it possible with this combination?

I wasn't able to find any information relevant to this specific combination by searching.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] danny01327:
follow the same steps to root as with 1.5...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkahn6:
Great thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] evolvetek:
How is it possible to receive a 2.1 OTA with the old 1.47 bootloader?

Is it then true that if one upgraded to a leaked 2.1 version, that they would have also received the 1.49 bootloader, which is not rootable?

Thank you,

/e
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
The Actual OTA did not change the HBoot number like the leaked versions did. The Official RUU will give you the OTA + New Hboot :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
You are correct, but I feel like I should clarify something.

If you have are not on a leaked version of 2.1, DO NOT USE THE OFFICIAL RUU.

If you use the RUU when you are on 1.5, 2.1 OTA, or 2.1 rooted, you WILL LOSE ROOT, and there is no way (currently) for you to get it back.

just wondering if anybody could just give me a little guide or help with how to use titanium back up. im wanting to back up favorites. gba emulators saves, scenes, saved accounts like facebook accounts and pandora. also the backing up up apps has be a little confused. thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero's Hero:
To save regular apps? Like ones from the market?

If so, just click the app and press backup? Don't see how that could be confusing.

If that's not working, at the bottom press "Problems?" and install Busybox
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icantdrawanime:
I'm also looking for help w/ titanium backup. For some reason, when I try uninstalling stock apps like peep/sprint zone, it doesnt do anything... The app is still in the list of programs. I dont get why.

I have root access...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oubravs2b:
I was in the same boat when I first got it. Much better now.

Here are a few tips:

1) use the filters. It's much easier to see User apps only. Choose "Click to edit filters" and then select the User radio button and Apply. This will show you all of the apps you've installed from the market. Then go to Menu > Batch > Backup All User Apps Run button, then choose the apps you want to backup from the list.

2) Do the same as #1 but filter for System apps. After choosing Batch, choose Backup All System Data Run button. The only real system apps I backup are:

-[ACCOUNTS] - but you don't really have to do this because if you flash a new ROM or something, you can just sign back in to your accounts at the beginning

-[USER DICT] - user defined saved words in dictionary I'm assuming

-[DESKTOP] HTC Sense - this will save where your icons are on the screens if you're using the Sense UI

-[BOOKMARKS] - this one is obvious

-[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messages - I think this saves your messages that are currently on your phone

-WiFi Access Points - all the Wireless networks and settings you've previously saved

Obviously you can backup whatever you want, these just seem to work for me.

3) Note that you can combine 1 and 2 by filtering All and All on the filtering screen, then Batch button, then Backup All User Apps + System Data run button. I just use it this way because it makes it a bit easier to filter out your user apps from all of the system stuff.

If anyone else has any tips or see that I'm using this in a whacked out manner, please let me know! :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyjoezx:
Oohh... ok , to be clear ..if I donate then it will auto install all my apps with out me having to hit "ok" for each app...that's well worth $4 !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psionicsin:
I'm confused about how to work this too. My understanding is that BATCH MODE is supposed to do something...yet I don't see it doing anything.

I press one of the many run buttons, and it just takes me back to the Backup/Restore tab after. There's no indication that the program is doing anything to back anything up...for me at least.

And I'm sure there has to be a better way to do it than backup every single individual thing one-by-one. And also...why don't apps restore when I, say... Flash a new ROM (with the Clockwork/Rom Manager file still on SD), and reinstall ROM Manager?

I'm just not getting this for some odd reason, and I'm a very quick learner with everything else Android.

NOTE: I have the donate version btw.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workingaplan:
It's more like BATCH>RUN>RUN...

Select Menu/Batch, select "Run" next to the batch operation you would like to do, then select Run again at the top of the next screen. It should be very obvious that it starts doing backups or whatever you selected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psionicsin:
Ok that worked. You know what it may have been? I was accessing the Batch menu from the Backup/Restore tab and I wasn't getting these options. Because I just did what you told me from the opening screen, and it worked. I'm all happy now.

Thank you

I was just reading engadget and this pop's up to my face!

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/sprints-4g-equipped-samsung-galaxy-s-pro-in-the-wild/

Yes! It's that galaxy s pro what were rumored long time a ago, but I haven't heard nothing of it for while.

But I guess rumors of Galaxy S Pro are alive again! I would love to have a QWERTY.

Since my current X1 has it and I would be missing it if I go for Galaxy S, but if the pro is rly coming out?

It also looks damn hot, better than Galaxy S. Actually it doesnt look nothing like galaxy s.

Anyway nothing info yet has been announced. But what do you guys think? Could it be PRO-model?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
first. it looks like a real phone hehe

but yes you're right doesn't look much like the i9000

I like the keyboard layout, looks professional, numbers are on top like a real keyboard.

I like the front because it has more buttons than the i9000. but we'll see what it really is =D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Oooh looks nice. Full keyboards are pretty useful i have to admit, but i find em too cumbersome.

On the other hand, the phone being so slim and light, i'd like to see what it feels like, i like to feel that the phone is there and feels real and not light plastic.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
http://androidcommunity.com/exclusive-more-pictures-of-the-galaxy-s-pro-20100614/

LED FLASH. Also 4G (maybe).

I'm still not getting it, though (I...I just can't wait any longer....) :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
not bad :D

very nice phone, not sure about the back though. and I don't like the sprint sign xD

(can't they flip the pictures haha instead of having us twist our necks xD)

I love the front :D just like i love the front of i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] S.p.x.:
I don't think this is "Galaxy S Pro". Seems totally a different phone.

However, the screen seems smaller , no Touchwiz? , a Yellow for FN key (Seriously?). No T-Mobile!?

I guess, I will have to wait more than I though for getting the right Android phone for me...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Gotta agree with S.p.x, doesn't look anything like what I would expect. The styling has no commonality with the Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Could be the US version of the Wave 2 Pro.

Linky
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
I dont think it looks anything like the Wave 2 either. The Wave 2 Pro image's look distinctly Samsung like with a clean layout, consistent keyboard and the familiar squared chrome edged camera lens on the back.

The original pic just looks like a mish-mass of bit cobbled together without any consistency.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Maybe this is just another sad, sorry example of what happens when providers do their own customization and "value-add" :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
I believe it is running Android not Bada OS so I don't think it's the Wave at all! (but yes this is TouchWiz, notice the small blue icon for the battery and the 4 static icons on the side)

the Wave looks completely different.

The touch sensitive buttons on the phone are typical Android.

Has nothing to do with Wave.

Also the pictures posted say Galaxy S.

if this is exactly like the galaxy s it but just with the addition of the led flash and the keyboard then i will definitely get this beauty ... i do not really care if it is 0.5 cm bigger due to the keyboard but the led flash would be fantastic.

its also a good thing for the average galaxy s users, because if two phones are build on the same android firmware (which is very likely) its more likely that we will get more recent updates

Hello, My G1 has just suffered a problem, i was scrolling down a web page and the screen faded out like it had lost power but the backlight was still on, the keys lit up and it still could make the trackball clicking noise when you moved it. I took out the battery and left it for 5 minutes and rebooted my phone and the screen turned on for about 3 seconds and faded out like before but it did boot into android as I heard the notification/startup sound. I think that the screen has burnt out but im not shore so has anybody had this problem before and/or might know how to fix it
[G1 General] wilkinlp01:
Just some more infomation, If the screen dies and I leave it for a few minutes, when I unlock it or slide the screen up, the screen works for a few seconds but then fades. Also the fading looks like the screen lost power or like its losing pixels
[G1 General] dskum:
From my experience with phone hardware this doesnt look like screen problem, but rather the lamp driver in the motherboard. the only way to narrow down is test the motherboard /screen with another phone.

If this is the case, it might require servicing the backlight driving circuit, which by far requries soldering/desoldering some components in motherboard.
