[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinemo13:
Hey guys 've been using CM for ages so havent really been on the scene since CM updater was introduced I know that might sound lazy but when sometimes works this well I've just been updating on the fly whenever one was available.

A few days ago my phone went from mounting all the time via usb to being a bit dodgy and then finally I couldnt mount it at all. Had a look around on a couple of forums for some ideas but nothing worked. I also noticed when looking around 2.1 was out for the G1 - CM 5.0.8 - I assumed it wasnt on the updater as it was so new so downloaded it. Checked I had the right SPL (which luckily i did i guess from an old hero rom) Flashed it for an updated look and hopefully to fix the usb issue.

I did a nandroid back up just incase.

Flashed looked awesome was a super fast rom look ace too - played with it for a while set my alarm charged it over night and went to sleep. It woke me up all was good... made a few calls thn left it. A few hours later randomly starts rebooting. Plugging it into the usb made it reboot even more - Its like it had a mind of its own.

To cut a long story short I've tried tonnes of stuff and yeah im pulling my hair out too could it be a kernel issue? like i said im a bit rusty but i'll tell you what i know anyway.

I'm running a fairly up to date version of Amon recovery

I wiped data then installed the rom (worked great at first)

noticed that even tho i'd wiped it before installing rom - all my apps were still present and installed / working

I also tried a nandroid restore which worked lot of frustration as whenever the phone seemed to be unlocked or do well pretty much anything it'd reboot.

I started thinking it was the hardware / battery etc but I'm really not sure. It might be a corrupt SD card who knows has anyone got any ideas?

I just have no idea why my usb mounting stopped workign randomly and I'm also super confused how a rom that seemed to be working perfectly is now not. Infact my G1 isnt even letting into recovery img or fastboot for longer than a few seconds sometimes before it powers off - its becoming very irregular....sometimes i can get in and reflash and sometimes i cant and i cant even mount via recovery image....

please help with any suggestions I have no SD card reader with me here and obv no USB mounting what can i do?

at fastboot this is my info - dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA11000) CPLD-4 Radio-2.22.19.261

the weird thing is its so random if its left it keeps rebooting sometimes getting into the rom and the htc welcome setup but when i try to use it it turns off.... sometimes the LED works like its charging sometimes it doesnt....

Even when i go into recovery and use my backup of my original rom (the one that worked fine but no usb mounting) that still keeps rebooting now.... whats messed it up so much?
[Droid Incredible General] WhammyDroid:
All,

What files within the system/app directory make up the CarPanel app? I want it gone. I tired searching but had no luck.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] Hand76:
I just asked this in another thread, would also love to know what name this goes by so I can use the command line to remove it.
[Droid Incredible General] WhammyDroid:
Anyone else annoyed by CarPanel?
[Droid Incredible General] Hand76:
Whammy here you go:

/system/bin/rm /system/app/HtcNaviPanel.apk

/system/bin/rm /system/app/HtcNaviPanel.odex

Thats for the car dock. And maps still works fine right after!
[Nexus One Android Development] x986123:
I just had an idea. Instead of texting by switching applications, what if you could just pull down the notification window, type a message and read it. If it worked with Google Voice, that would be very cool too!

I have no idea how to code this, but I am a designer and could create some pretty GUI for it. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] bobtentpeg:
You could try something like SMSPopup or the popup+quick compose shortcut that handcent has
[Nexus One Android Development] midnite23:
Do you mean compose an entirely new message in the notification bar or reply to one you received?
[Nexus One Android Development] xXJay_RXx:
i think he means reply to one...i hope....i would kinda like to see this done but like someone else posted, thats what them popup sms is for
[Nexus One Android Development] codito:
I like his idea, I wouldn't mind seeing something official or official looking that popped up when long pressing an SMS notification that let you select reply, that kept you in your current app but popped up for replying like QuickDesk or SMS Popup does.
[Nexus One Android Development] AndyBurns:
Maybe, but if you could send texts from the notification bar, next thing is someone else would want to send emails, someone else would want to make voice calls, someone else order pizzas and the next thing you know the purpose of the notification bar is lost in a jumble of features ... what's so difficult about pressing the sms icon to send a text?
[Nexus One Android Development] monkeyhatchet:
Kind of pointless seeing how as you're one click and several milliseconds away from the full fledged SMS app. Remember, this isn't an iPhone, stuff works here - fast.

The notification bar is just that, a notification bar.
[Nexus One Android Development] carnegie0107:
True. But I don't see why notifications can't have long-press options. The problem is, this would sorta have to be on a per-app basis. Meaning nobody would make an app that included a menu for the notification unless it was an official feature from Google, a part of Android 2.5, for example.
[Nexus One Android Development] rydr1:
I was thinking that it would be a good idea to create something like what the OP wants, but I really like your response and you make a good point. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] dogiedogie:
My two cense [yeah im UK so cant spell that word xD]

1) Popup SMS, I installed it very early on in my N1 career, never uninstalled it, its perfect for me.

2) While we dont NEED this, it would be interesting to see if its possible to type in the notification bar, as there may be other uses.
[Nexus One Android Development] babijoee:
this gives me an idea too :p

i always hate going back to home or clicking music playing notification to change music.

If there was a little previous, play/pause and next icon it would be awesome. As the status bar is nearly always visible we never have to exit the current app we're in.

Hopefully someone can do this :p

but yeah sms would be cool too
[Nexus One Android Development] Xlythe:
A stinky note / drawing pad would be cool too. Just a way to quickly write a note, be it a phone number or grocery list, and view it anywhere without minimizing the current application.

Even though there are dedicated apps for all of this, the ease of use and speed of the notification bar are noticeable. The Framework is always running in the foreground.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regulator207:
When using the dialer it looks like the phone is just increasing the size of low resolution photo that was synched to the contact.

Is there a way to increase the resolution so the photos can look better?

Is the problem with the contact photo resolution limit imposed by the way the contact cards were designed? I ask this because when browsing through your contacts the small thumbnail looks great, but when using the dialer it looks like the thumbnail the the required resolution and the large photo in the dialer is just a zoomed in version.

Maybe I'm not being clear but i think i got the point across.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] mmarsh665:
Hi, I am the step-son of Brent372. You may have heard of him because of his website for Touch Pro 2 Sliders. He has given me a basic tutorial on how to do these graphics and this is my first modification to the Imagio. This is my 1st smartphone, and my first time working with manilla files. I know I will get better over time and any criticism/suggestions will be appreciated. I will be doing more than just basic things like this later on when I get more comfortable with my Imagio.

Screenshots will be posted asap. I cannot post links to the Imageshack album due to me being a new user.

Happy Downloading!

If needed, I can put up a mirror to the download.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] Poddytat:
Looks like you are already working on some sweet graphics. Love Metallica.
[Imagio Themes and Apps] mmarsh665:
Thank you for your response. I will be remaking it for sense 2.5 when I unlock my Imagio. I can do some requests when I have the time if you want.
[HD2 General] AznJohn22:
I'm having some problem with the facebook app from Marketplace. For some strange reason, my friend's photo album won't load on the facebook app. I only see the red, green, yellow, and blue dots rotating. Sometime, those dots disappeared then turn into blank white screen.
[HD2 General] toreone:
same thing here...that facebook app is crap...dont use it.
[HD2 General] leonowski:
I too have the same problem. I first had the problem with the Facebook app with the Stock T-Mobile ROM. I updated it to try and fix some problems. While it seemed to work better, I still had the problems with photos. They just don't update.

I now use a shortcut in Opera mobile to Facebook (using the latest Opera Mobile beta).
[HD2 General] 4theU:
This

And when I upload pics using the Facebook app they look like crap... I had the Nexus One before this phone and I was amazed at the quality of the images uploaded right through the share function with my album.

I have the option setup so I can now email photos, I'll post again if that works better.
[HD2 General] M3XICAN5:
The only time i got it to work was when i was using wifi.
[HD2 General] toreone:
When I first began using my HD2 it told me to enter my FB info. Now whenever I have a photo I feel uploading I use the sense viewer and it is one click and they are on FB and they look awesome!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] iedoc:
I just recently upgraded from windows mobile 6.1 to windows mobile 6.5 on a htc touch dual (neon 300). Everything is great so far, but i have a couple problems i noticed since then and i was hoping someone here might have the knowledge to help me out.

1) First thing, was when i tried to enter the cube or whatever its called by gliding my finger from the bottom of the screen up, the error "" comes up, and i have to press the middle button to get it to go away and be able to use the touch screen again.

2) Second thing i noticed, was I installed a chinese input keyboard, but it will not let me change the keyboard to the chinese one. when i click on it to change it, it just goes back to the regular english keyboard automatically. I tried to change it in settings personal, input, but it when i exit, it just goes back to the regular keyboard. for some reason, it actually worked one time and the main keyboard was the chinese one, but then i changed it back because i wanted to just be able to change to the chinese keyboard, not have it as my main keyboard, now it won't work again.

3) So I searched around, found a program called SIPchange, installed it. didn't work. when i restarted my phone, the error "" came up, so i'm figuring there must be some problem related to all of this.

I did a lot of searching and couldn't find anything helpfull. I got a new biotouch.exe file that was supposed to replace my old biotouch, but there is no biotouch.exe file in my phones memory (and i turned on show all files including system files)

I would be greatly appreciative of any sort of help, thank you very much!

<<<H3G network only>>>

Are you on the 3 network outside of UK?

Got an android phone and can't avail of your 4000 free skype minutes p/m as there is no Skype on 3 apk available where you are?

There is no Skype on 3 apk here in Ireland [Edit: 3IRL have just released their Skype on 3 app (attached)] and, as far as I know, no app in Oz, Italy, Sweden, Austria...and wherever else Hutchinson 3G operates!

These modded Iskoot apks are for 3Australia, 3Italy, 3Denmark, 3Austria, 3Sweden & 3Hong Kong (attached to this post). Simply install it, no root or adb needed. You are now able to make your free skype calls! Please test and report in this thread.

If there is interest from elsewhere, I will tweak it for your country too, just post a request here.

There are a couple of things I should mention:

1. The apk will drain your battery fast as it constantly connects to server.

2. It does not refresh the connection properly, so after you have made a skype call your received calls get routed through Iskoot servers, costing you skype credit on received calls.

Here's how you can make it work 100% flawlessly for you:

1. In the Iskoot apk - check "Sign in automatically".

2. Leave the "receive calls" box unchecked.

3. Install "Setting Profiles Lite" (free) from the market. Link here

4. In Setting Profiles Lite - Go to rules > press menu button > new rule > add condition > shedule period.

3. Set "On for 2 min every 45 minutes".

4. Add action > run application > "Skype".

5. "Do on rule enter - Start App"; "Do on rule exit - Kill App". >>[edit: "Kill App" feature doesn't seem to work in froyo]

6. Done.

This will autostart the app every 45 min, letting it run for 2 min, then kill it. Received calls will be free and still get pushed to your phone, even when the app's been killed (you will always show as online to your Skype contacts). Whenever you need to make a call - just start the app manually, then kill it with your task killer when you're done. Your battery consupmtion will hardly even be affected. Enjoy!

Regards,

dawmuz

I even got my skypeout to work! Here's how -> dial your skype out contact and you'll get a "this number is not connected" message. immediately after that, manually dial the number the app connects to for skype<-> skype calls and it works!
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Glad it works for you mate. :)

Skypeout just works for me without having to do that (only on foreign calls though).

Hey, I'm in the UK and on 3, and I didn't even know you could get Skype for Android... It doesn't seem to be on either the Three or Skype websites. Where did you get the APK?
[Android Apps and Games] K3yMaster:
Any chance on getting this to work on 3 network in Denmark?
[Android Apps and Games] htinaung:

[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
It's available for download on three's mobile website but only with a phone that they sell: HTC Desire, X10 etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Ep3n3wp:
So does that mean I can call using wifi and not have a calling plan?

As in use an old android phone to call and receive calls without having service from sprint?

[Android Apps and Games] inaamhussain:
yes dear i have wildrire 2.1 Eclair...............i dont know whats the problem !!
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
Yeah, is ok... but after try for one day the official version I would recommend for now to stick with the skype for 3UK, since the official one drain too much battery and the quality is still not that great, I'm waiting for an update....
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
I have no idea either, is working perfectly on my 2.2 rooted Hero, but from what I read in internet, this Skype is not working well with some phones... :(
[Android Apps and Games] Tipika:
To be honest, the voice quality in the skype app on wifi it's really poor - almost impossible to talk

The 3 app is way better (as it is a real call)
[Android Apps and Games] fabler:
Nope.. I tried it yesterday.. and it has good quality better than nimbuzz and fring..
[Android Apps and Games] ExMM:
Yep.. totally agree....

Skype on 3 in Ireland for Samsung Spica

Hi Damuz. I'm from Dublin too but when I try signing in to Skype on 3 on my Spica, it says," Sorry, we don't have Skype coverage where you are"

Any help would be much appreciated.

richieste / update

Ciao !!!

Do you think it is possible for a future release to add a minute counter to the app. i have in my phone plan a day limit for using skype. but since my data plan has 20GB / month i think i can switch over to normal skype also. you can add a configuration field where everyone can insert his time limit in minutes and select limit range as: day, week or month. So everyone can see his remaing free minutes for his period.

thx netrunner
[Android Apps and Games] minhdung1911:
Hi Damuz. Im with 3 Australia, been trying iSkoot but it keeps sigining in like forever on Eclair. There was one time i received a skype call, shown like a normal phone call, from the number which i knew that was from Skype server of Three Oz. My friend told me that she saw me on Skype while in fact i wasnt. I think that was because Skype on my PC didnt sign out properly. I wanted to try that again but no luck.
[Android Apps and Games] aktp-iciook:
Hi dawmuz ^^

You are truly a genius. Thank you very much for your great mod. This is what I have been searching for the past few weeks. I just can't think of the keyword "Skype on 3". I tried and failed every time because I usually type "Skype on Three". :D lol My search finally ends here. Thank you again ;)

It works great on ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) with 3UK.

Kudos to your great talent my friend ^^

Any help much appreciated. Thanks

No Skype love for HTC Magic

Just installed it on my HTC Magic (Three Australia), but I can't get past the "Signing in, please wait" screen with the rotating green loading symbol. It just hangs there. No timeouts and no success.

I get the same on both wi-fi and 3G. I'm running CM5.0.8. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
It should work on the Magic. First verify that your password etc. are correct. It might take a while to sign in when u run it for the first time. Let it run for 30 sec, if it still says "Signing in" - press "Cancel". Try it a couple times - it will work.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah, password is fine. Still no luck. Left it for several minutes, and tried a whole bunch of times. I also tried rebooting my phone.

I tried to create a new account; same result but with the "Creating account" message.

I also tried with my account and a deliberately wrong password; same result.

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Hmmm...Are you sure you have the right apk? (Sorry, had to ask).

Is your wifi on when ur trying to sign in?
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
This only works on the H3G network. They don't operate in Singapore...
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:

[Android Apps and Games] K3yMaster:

[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Ok. It seems like this service in Denmark is not available by default.

Try calling 3 helpline & ask for them to enable skype service. They will most certainly ask you what phone u have. From looking on their website the only phone they seem to offer skype on is the "INQ 3G Chat".
[Android Apps and Games] K3yMaster:
Thanks for your effort. The problem is that they already know what phone I have, since I bought it through them :) The Skype service is not available for android phones yet.
[Android Apps and Games] dawmuz:
Same here - no android skype on 3 Ireland, but it works!?!

Are you an pre-pay or contract?

I found this article:

3 Denmark has launched 3Reload', a new prepaid tariff that offers free 'Skype' calls depending on the amount of credit a user tops up with each month.

For example, a user that tops up their account by DKK 150.00 per month will receive 30 days free 'Skype' calls. Users that top up by DKK 300.00 in a month will also receive 30 days free 'Skype' calls plus access to the 'Nyhedspakken' package. This provides personalised news feeds using live pictures to the user's mobile phone each day. In addition, while topping up by DKK 500.00, users get free 'Skype' calls, access to 'Nyhedspakken' and to 'musikpakken', which is 3's mobile music service that offers music …

Do you think this might be the problem?
