[Streak 5 Accessories] flumps:
couldnt agree more. i would LOVE a simple slide out holster type case. had a blackberry 800something few years back and they case that came with was a very simple slide case. id love to see something like that for streak. infact when my case arrives i might see if its possible to take the flap off
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
You're welcome

belt clip is held on buy a stud so should be able to take it off but i wanted one on

it fits in my pocket OK but would fit better with no belt clip

the flap has two magnets on it and no it does not bother me i dare say in a few months ebay will be full of accessories

The flap is big but i do think it makes the pouch more damage proof if you know what i mean :)

I want to change the default music widget that comes with 2.1 transparent but i can't figure out where in the system the image is located. Any one know where the apk or image is?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajd6c8:
BUMP

I believe we are looking for the same thing.

In other words, where does HTC hide "music.apk" on the EVO? I can't find it but I know it's there somewhere. I know this because I'm running LauncherPro and can add the Music widget to my home screen. But I have no idea where it's coming from!

In any event, I want to apply the transparent morph to the stock widget, but can't do it until I can locate the .apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] firestetz:
In froyo the htc widget is in /system/app
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bwcorvus:
System/app/music.apk is where you find the android one.

Is there any advantage to getting a desire thats been nowhere near o2/Voda/3/Orange/T-Mobile ?
[Desire General] aindow:
The proper sim free Desire will not have any network branding or apps installed and it will be first in line for any updates released by HTC. Plus, you won't have to run the risk of debranding the phone and losing its warranty
[Desire General] revthanki:
YES!

Orange have mutilated the Desire, ****ed around with the apps, broken the browser, and muddled up the voicemail - it's a car crash.

T-Mo have been kinder, but they decided to volume limit the damned thing, which is hugely annoying when your favourite tune come on.

I don't know what Voda, O2 or 3 have done to theirs.

However, you can always debrand a carrier-subsidised phone by flashing the ROM, it's an easy procedure (search - there are loads of guides) but it might void your warranty. If the operator's ROM is available in the wild then you might be able to reflash it before sending it off for repair, but you cannot flash an older bootloader over a newer one which might put you in a pickle in 18 months time if your debranded phone's been updated a few times OTA and only old operator ROMs are available.

Therefore, your best bet is to get it unbranded, you could eithe pay £380 full whack for it or get it from Carphone Warehouse or online and get the benefit of the subsidy as well.

It's an amazing phone, man, AMAZING!
[Desire General] cirian75:

Generic HTC Desire on Vodafone in the uk

I cant see any way my desire is locked, or modified by Vodafone - i used to avoid them in the past as Id seen the mess they made of some handsets, but to the best of my knowledge the one I got from them 6 weeks ago is completely standard.

I know it's not locked to any networks, already tried a few different sims in and it works fine, and nothing in the Software Info suggests locking or customisation.

If you need a contract of some sorts it seems a good plan, its a free phone and my contract works out at about £400 over the 18 months anyway, not to mention all the data text and calls i get in the deal

[Desire General] dingdong3000:
yeah 3 has it for that price but not many will offer it as they get less commission if they sell on payg but who knows you might get lucky.. oh apparently they need you to buy a £10 top up now so total is £360
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Check your FW version in Settings>About phone>Software version

if you've got x.xx.161.x then it's a Vodafone branded handset, if it's x.xx.405.x then it's a SIM-free handset

Guess I was lucky with my Three handset.

I took one out on a contract and got a totally unlocked and unbranded handset.

Apparantly it was because they were having problems getting three branded handsets so all the shops were send unlocked/unbranded ones to help with the demand!

Cool eh!

[Desire General] cirian75:
I have it right now in my hand :D

£399.95 sim free from CPW :)

[Desire General] Michelle My Belle:
It is interesting that Vodafone (UK) are not branding the Desire - their unlocked policy is well known.

When I compare a Vodafone handset to my unbranded (bought that way) Desire, the Vodafone handset has even less 'bloat-ware'!!!

As commented elsewhere, I will get any Firmware upgrades first - but I don't understand Vodafone's logic: -

No branding.

Unlocked.

So why not just hand out default unbranded HTC phones, if you're not going to control the experience...??

[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
What we need is a program to simplify remote modifications.

Here's why:

You can't run a command via adb that passes variables without actually entering the shell.

You can push a script, but it wont run unless you chmod which requires root.

There is no way (currently) for a batch script to run as run.

I was thinking it would be very easy to write a median to allow us to do such.

I know some devs here use .Net, I am familiar with .Net myself but I've been very busy.

I'm comfortable using whatever language, if anyone wishes to help out while I'm in the middle of my move, that would be great. I'd be able to jump in and help out in about a week or two.

Here's some documentation:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yz3fhfz1(v=VS.71).aspx

Even just a simple EXE that allows a script to be pushed, chmodded, and executed would be perfect.

There are many routes that can be taken, this is just one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajster1989:
Why dont you put what ever scripts you need in a folder on your phone and just run them locally via adb.

adb shell "[path]/[path]/script.acss"

Variables can be pushed in with new scripts almost instantly.

Is this what your thinking?

i would like to see SE get into the game and develop a phone that is 100% backed up by Google. they make good phones.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I thought the title was a joke. lol

Wow, damage control ahoy.
[Nexus One General] markouk:
+1 on this. SE really dropped the ball when they attacked the smartphone market. The W series phones were cutting edge in terms of being music centric. The K series were really good too, my K750i has the best 2 megapixel sensor of any camera. The K850i was a real stormer of a phone too.

I don't know what happened in SE HQ when they moved onto touchscreen phones and the like. They were ahead of the curve back in the day but maybe their UI let them down?

Samsung are another company who made good hardware but ****ed it up with their clunky software.

I'm not sure how these guys turn the ship around but HTC came from nowhere and are one of the biggest mobile phone manufacturers about now. Surely SE and Samsung can make a cracking phone again and win some of the market share back.

Another issue might be locking down access to root or bastardising Android with a clunky shell. HTC avoided that with a pretty nice UI in Sense.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
That's why I love em.
[Nexus One General] Namuna:
Knew it and have been saying it all along.

The Nexus One was never supposed to outsell any other phone or become an income source for Google. It was meant to drive the Android OS and the hardware platform and as Schmitty says, it "clearly worked".

Android market share has rocketed and continues to do so and even today, 7 months later from intro, new Android phones are STILL catching up to the specs of the Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I don't know about you, but that's what I dislike about SE. Why couldn't they just combine the best walkman and camera in one phone? Instead, they made two phones out of almost the same hardware and charge a high price for each of them...
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Hey Roger, do you mean the next developer phone that's not under a carriers control and gets updates ota directly from Google?

I guess I am kinda confused since I assumed Google is never gonna dip their hand in the smartphone market again besides supplying android.
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Amen!

I love the N1, and can't wait for a future device done the same way (without any branding). I seriously hope HTC is the manufacturer. Can't see myself using a phone not made by them.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Since android's beginning, there has always been Google's developer phone, the one that Google uses to write the android OS on. First was the g1, now its nexus. It will always be a vanilla android version, not HTC sense or MOTOblur or whatever. Perhaps the next one will be sold thru a carrier, but I think they will ensure it can be purchased unlocked too. We don't know, this is new territory, and The nexus kinda set the standard. So I'm anticipating Google will make sure the next phone can be had without the carrier influence as well.
[Nexus One General] adamwjohnson5:
I actually don't think there should be a Nexus 2 from Google. They should just stick to what they do best and make great software. I don't think selling physical products is their thing and the Nexus One has served it's purpose of demonstrating the potential of Android.

Hopefully the plan is to dramatically improve the UI with Gingerbread and convince manufacturers like HTC and Motorola to run vanilla Android. They can release new versions of Android and leave it up to the manufacturers to deliver the updates.
[Nexus One General] spidermonkeyrob:
I'm done with SE, myself. I followed them for a little while with a P990i, then Xperia X1 and was going to get an X10... but glad I got a Nexus One instead.

High-priced pieces of trash, they are. I know the X1 was HTC built and rebranded, but WinMo was so laggy on it and SE slapped an $800 price tag on it. Enough to wake you up.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
So there won't be a N1 successor ?? :confused:
[Nexus One General] DDM123:
Sure is nice having Google dictate what goes on the phone and not T-Mobile or AT&T or whoever. I think I'd opt for a slightly weaker phone over one with Sense UI and branding all over it.

I guess I'll be buying whichever dev phone is popular at the time, or making damn sure the phone has Cyanogen et al behind it and that it is vanilla.
[Nexus One General] Chahk:
No N2?!? Oh come on! It's not like they have to do much. Just make it a 4" screen, swap in a better 3D co-processor, slap a real keyboard on it and call it a day. I'd buy that off-contract any day!
[Nexus One General] dogiedogie:
I would agree that the N1 put android on the map, at the centre. They have multiple partners now SPAMMING rediculously good phones for android, the consumers know about it and WANT it, theyve done their task. Let them get back to making the OS orgasmic, and let HTC etc make phones that can vibrate ;)
[Nexus One General] wondercoolguy:
Like a guy said eariler this is whats called damage control. The N1 didn't start anything with Android OS, it was the Droid that did that. The N1 is a tiny blip on the radar of Android sales. The N1 failed and this is an arrogant look at the N1. The fact of the matter is HTC was planning 1ghz phones regardless of the N1 existance or not, remeber that phone list that was leaked last year of all the phones coming out this year? I love my N1 but lets face it google dropped the ball on it.

1. restrictions on the subdizing

2. restrictions on the type of plan

3. No dummy phones for TMO stores

IMO if they would have stuck the N1 in stores made it easy like Droid, Samsung Vibrant, and EVO, then N1 at the time would have been a mega hit. It was the first phone (that I can remember) with a ghz processor ppl would have went nuts for it because of the speed and its a really sexy looking phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThugEsquire:
HTC's Photos app doesn't show the photos on my SD card and neither does Gallery (the cooliris Nexus One app ported to Incredible). How do I get photos to show up? Arr, it's driving me nuts!

Edit: SOLVED, see below.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThugEsquire:
FIXED

I fixed this using the free "Gallery Enabler" app from the Market. I definitely recommend it!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget!:
I tried that app and thought it was great too, until I couldn't find any of my music playlists.

I think it hides folders from other applications besides Photos.

If you have problems, open gallery enabler and check all folders before you un-install it.

Then the right way to fix it is to open the Photos app on the phone, clck on the menu button and select "Settings" and then "Default Albums" then select the options you want from there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihtfp69:
If you're wondering how this application works, it probably just deletes/adds the hidden .nomedia files from folders. Those files restrict applications from having access to the media by signaling the android media scanner to ignore them. For instance, if you put one in the root of your sd card, the system would ignore any media on your entire card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget!:
In theory, it's a great idea.

The problem is that all of my music is organized in folders and each folder contains the album art for the album.

So blocking the folder with the album art so that it does not show up in the gallery also blocks the music file from different media applications.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThugEsquire:
Ah, you're definitely right. All my music stopped showing up. However, once I went back and enabled all the folders and applied settings in Gallery Enabler all my music showed up again and the photos were still fixed. I suppose you could use Gallery Enabler once to "force" Gallery and Photos to see all the folders.

Changing default albums in HTC's Photos app did nothing to make media show up again. Thanks for the suggestion though!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget!:
Un-installing gallery enabler brought my music back but not the playlists, I had to manually re-build all of my playlists again.
