[Nexus One General] vitorjna:
The developer sets a flag in the app for Auto, Internal or External.

Most of them set it on Auto, so the phone automatically installs on the card if you have low space on the internal memory.
[Nexus One General] cr0wnest:
I remember having a newly downloaded app auto installing straight into SD, i was back on FRF72 back then i think. Dont remember app name though.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
At least developers are using it properly.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
What is not clear to me is how "auto" setting will be handled in this scenario: first few app2sd supporting apps with "auto" attribute are installed to the phone memory, then a bunch of non-apps2sd apps is installed and phone space becomes low. Will Froyo at this point move apps2sd automatically to SD card? Hopefully it will, but need to double check that.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Developers have two choices when they install the app:

Internal

External

If they choose internal, and there is room, they go internal. If there is no more room, they get installed on external.

If they choose external, they get installed on external.

I don't believe the OS will move your apps without you prompting it to do so.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
From here:

internalOnly:

The application must be installed on the internal device storage only. If this is set, the application will never be installed on the external storage. If the internal storage is full, then the system will not install the application. This is also the default behavior if you do not define android:installLocation.

auto:

The application may be installed on the external storage, but the system will install the application on the internal storage by default. If the internal storage is full, then the system will install it on the external storage. Once installed, the user can move the application to either internal or external storage through the system settings.

preferExternal:

The application prefers to be installed on the external storage (SD card). There is no guarantee that the system will honor this request. The application might be installed on internal storage if the external media is unavailable or full, or if the application uses the forward-locking mechanism (not supported on external storage). Once installed, the user can move the application to either internal or external storage through the system settings.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
So the issue arrises with this scenario:

1) install some apps2sd supporting apps with "auto" attribute to the the phone memory (cause that's the default). Phone memory is ok.

2) install a bunch of non-apps2sd apps.

3) phone memory low. Get a warning.

4) Now need to go and manually move apps2sd supporting apps to SD card.

Would be nice if OS would be doing that for you in step 4 since there's no easy way to know which apps can be moved to SD card without going through each app in the manage applications.
[Nexus One General] vitorjna:
That's right.

Apps2SD seems to be like a beta product. Besides a quick sign of which apps can be moved, the whole thing with the breaking widget is very annoying. What's the point of moving a big app to the card if it's going to break the widget...

But at least it works and saves us a lot of space while they make the whole thing better
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
Using Google Earth as a large app not supporting apps2sd in step 2, I just checked that all you get is a warning. OS will not move apps after installation is over.
[Nexus One General] sergey.povzner:
I'm generally happy even with this "beta" apps2sd. I'm just surprised that Manage applications doesn't have a list or sort function to display only apps that can be moved to SD card.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Well there is no point, that's why you're not supposed to do it.

There are some large apps with widgets, such as Pandora, which would be nice to be able to move to SD, however I want to use the widget. I wonder how hard it would be for them to make the widget a separate app. That way you can move the large app core to SD, but keep the widget internal.

Also, I wonder if it would be possible for Android to do this automatically. The widget components in the package should be pretty easy to separate from the non-widget parts. Of course if this was done the widget would need to have some code to gracefully handle the cases where the SD part of the app are not available.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
I know this has been said again and again, but I just have to put my opinion out there..

To realize what provoked this thread see here and a benchmark test on youtube where the evo gets pwnt by the nexus one and droid x on so many levels.

HTC claims that the reason EVERY other android phone can get twice as much frames per second as us is because they don't have an HDMI port.. :confused:

Did they really think that was gonna fly?

I'd gladly never use my hdmi port to have smooth as butter 60FPS.. and to set the record straight we DO notice the difference.

At the very least they could have imposed the limit only when content is being output via hdmi!

I cannot understand how they thought we'd sit back and allow this.

Android is the home of nerds, enthusiasts, overclockers, benchmarkers and rom chefs.

This isn't the typical iphone userbase, we notice a lack of performance and inefficiency.

Both of which our phones are in no short supply of..

Our tests and kernel tweaks have proved that this DEFECT can be bypassed, so why are they still going on about hardware limitations?

How come our PREMIUM phones that we have to pay an extra 10 bucks per month just to own, can't even catch up to the very first android phone (G1) in terms of 2D FPS?

How come everybody else is capable of 60fps while we with our "revolutionary multimedia phones" can't even churn out anything past 30FPS without tweaks, and hacks, and best of all voiding our warranties.

It's ****ing blasphemy I tell you.

How about a rom that allows for disabling of hdmi?

I don't know just how ingrained it is with the snapdragon CPU or more likely the gpu, but it's surely possible.

I mean how many of us would've gotten these phones if we knew it was either hdmi or 60fps?
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Hdmi has nothing to do with the cap.

[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
HDMI is their excuse isn't it, Droid X has HDMI will it always be limited to 30FPS?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Personally, I'd rather loose battery life and HDMI (never going to use that ****) output for no lag and better performance.

At least give us the option, HTC.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
For the most part HDMI out, is a "feature for friends".

I don't think that many of us are ACTUALLY using this often.

I mean it's nice to have and i'm sure it can come into handy one day, but not at this expense!

According to Keith Nowak it has very much to do with hdmi..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713677

I have sifted through that convoluted thread.. but see no indication that anything else is causing the cap..

So then? What IS causing it.
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
are you implying i have no friends?
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Indeed.

Screw implying.

You straight up got no friends bro!

Sorry, better luck next time.

[EVO 4G General] CarpeD1em500:
I don't really understand why I'd use hdmi. This thing isn't pushing out .mkv files is it?

And you better believe I'm not spending extra money on a fancy mini hdmi cord. F that.

Take out the hdmi, give me a freaking Ethernet port instead Haha. Id prolly use that at least once, which will be more than I ever use hdmi.

(Actually come to think of it 4g to wired Ethernet tether for devices that don't support usb tether would be rather slick.)
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
Now that HTC fixed the grounding issue on the phone with the OTA update, my attention is now completely on the FPS issue. This is really frustrating. I have 5 days left to return my phone and I am really trying to figure out what to do. I don't want to go to Verizon because it's more expensive and I'm still in contract until Oct if I return the Evo. $50 ETF isn't a huge deal though. I've never been an apple fan and have never personally owned an iPhone but when you put the Evo next to Apple's latest, the screen choppiness really shows. It makes me mad. It makes me feel like the Evo is still behind the iPhone (when on paper is was not at all).

Look, I'm not sitting here saying that 30FPS is making my phone crappy and less enjoyable. The thought of getting duped by HTC is what bothers me. HTC sold us something on paper, and delivered something else. Isn't that called bait and switch?

Another problem is that none of the Sprint sales people, HTC customer service reps, or Best Buy/RS employees know enough about FPS to realize what it has done to our "wicked fast" phone. They look at us like we're crazy. I was describing the grounding issue to my local RS sales guy and he was giving me a look like I was being a baby about it.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Even though the 30 fps cap is still there the new update has gotten rid of all the screen lag I've had in sense and the browser.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
The motion blur you see when you swipe screens or scroll in the browser is a result of 30FPS. I still have it after the update. Use a nexus one or droid and you'll see the difference. It's very noticeable side-by-side. Sure, I don't see it when I'm using my phone. My brain gets used to it. The problem is that phones that have been out for 12 months have better screen motion than we do with our "wicked fast" phone.

[HD2 General] kevinu81:
When i take a pic on my HD2 its kind of greeny? is this normal?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
There is a fix for that ....

Search for it , but if I find it I'll post back , but you'll find it first I am sure ....
[HD2 General] kevinu81:
I just got my Hd2 and i am soooooo clueless on this phone.... I dropped iPhone for this!! and all this of rom and cab has soooo lost me....
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Chill out dude ...

A cab is just like an App from the app store , but you don't have to go through the app store to get it ... ROMs are the operating system for the phone, something you can change on this phone , that you could not on the Iphone ...

Maybe you should have done some research first ...

Give you a quick lesson ...

You download a cab to your computer, copy it to your phone, just like copying files to a thumb drive , then you goto your phone open file explorer, find the cab you just copied over and click on it .... It is no different that installing software on your pc ...

You really need to think of the phone as a mini PC and less as a phone, because really this phone is more laptop than phone .... ...

There are newer TMO Roms out that fix the camera issue, or there is a fix on the HTC site

I hope this helps you a little ....

I encourage you to Read Read Read, this phone is one of the most powerful , hackable , phones out there, so you can pretty much turn it into whatever you want within reason ...
[HD2 General] kevinu81:
ok my

OS version 5.2.21892

manila version is 2.5.20121412.2

am i able to flash it?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Well, is it a TMOUS version ?

Also that info really does not matter, what matters is what you see on the boot loader , the numbers and letters at the bottom when you reset your phone ...

but pretty much all phones are flashable now with HSPL3 ...

HSPL3 is what lets you flash a non factory ROM to your phone, it gets rid of the ID check, so you need it before anything else ...

Do some reading and make sure you understand it, before you think about flashing your phone. You could end up with an expensive paperweight ...
[HD2 General] kevinu81:
Yea i have a tmobile US phone rom 2.13.531.1

TRUST me ive been doing research on it thats why i haven't flashed it yet because im not knowledgeable on it so i dont want to mess it up...

I want a HD2 to use with at&t 3g the t9193 model but cant decide if I should buy the australian version or if I should spend a little more money and get the version that on the go solutions has. I cant post a url for being a new member. but its the version on the fist page of their website. I have read alot into getting this phone but dont think I am capable of flashing the phone and or getting rid of the telstra bloatware. I like the conveniency of everything being done but is it worth paying 900$ for. Thank you.
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
I wouldn't worry too much about the telstra bloatware... You can uncheck any of the sense tabs that are telstra related and you can run a fix that allows you to remove the top 3 (of 9) links on the home tab as these are normally locked to telstra related items...
[HD2 General] aescobar900:
I noticed that your radio and rom are both stock for your hd2a. Are u using at&t and if you are is it running good. Can u get rid of that blue telstra home screen and get the nice black one.
[HD2 General] aescobar900:
does anyone else have any input
[HD2 General] eenbox:
I have got US-Tmobile HD2 and it works great. No issues - but since you are planning keeping your AT&T service, I think that paying $900 for HD2 is way beyond any normal acceptance.

Don't get me wrong - I love my HD2 and plan to keep it at least 1.5-2 years... BUT:

6.5 will be dead pretty soon...

Many more phones are coming out for better price than $900 and having better hardware functions as well...

If I was stretched between AT&T and having 3G needs on it - I would consider good unlocked Android phone...

Just my $0.02
[HD2 General] aescobar900:
I want my Hd2 to run like the verizon Hd2 how difficult would this be to setup and do you think someone new to this would be able to complete the installation without messing something up? Any input helps thank you. looking into one on ebay but dont want to miss it before the sale is up. Thank You.
[HD2 General] aescobar900:
does no one want to help me out
[HD2 General] GeorgeR:
I have been weighing the same options over the past few weeks. I have a FUZE. and I am sick of it...lagging, quirky and so on... I want a new phone (and really the HD2) so badly that I was even considering just buying the TMO HD2 for use on ATT to save money and just deal with no 3G speeds.

In the end I have decided to be patient. WP7 is coming out in October or so. If those phones (fast processor, big screens, other cool features) are desirable for my needs and get good reviews - then I might go that way.

At that same time - because of the new OS and Phones release coming in october ---the then technically obsolete WM 6.5 phones should go down in price...including the HD2. So that is my advise - wait and see how it plays out if you can wait until october.

Do not know how accurately this will all pan out - but I can just not bring myself to pay more ($750.00+) than I would for a full blown laptop for a phone (even though I use it more!)

BTW - I guess I never answered the question...and that is if you are not familiar or comfortable with flashing - then the extra money for the OTG solutions full version as an insurance policy against you bricking it is worth it..

Good Luck

Did you buy your T9193 brand new or used ? I tried to locate the seller but I couldnt ...any help please !
[HD2 General] hjhjhj:
The main problem is whether you buy the t9193 or the tmous hd2, you'll never get 3g on AT&T's network. The U.S. GSM network is slightly different when it comes to 3G specs with the rest of the world and there T-Mobile's network is different from AT&T's 3G network.
[HD2 General] waichai:
You are half right. You will never get 3G on AT&T's network with Tmous HD2, but you will get 3G on AT&T's network with HD2 T9193 version.

Mine is fine upto the point that I don't use the calibrate option.

AFAICT, the keyboard actually performs better with no calibration data. If I do calibrate it... it is more error prone in the sense that key presses are out of whack. No crashes or other bugs, just calibrate seems to un-calibrate... thats all ;)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajape:
Hey all :)

I'm thinking of getting a Pure, because they are much cheaper right now than the D2s, but I really prefer the Diamond 2 looks. I've read here that there's an issue with the Pure's antenna not fitting on the Diamond 2's housing, so I was wondering: Is it possible to purchase a D2 housing that comes with an antenna, since I just know that there aren't any spare D2 antennas for sale? Or is there any way to adapt the Pure's antenna to the D2's housing? I would even settle for being able to transplant it into a T-Mobile MDA V housing, if that would work better than the D2's housing...

Has anybody else tried this? Is it at all possible? Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Not sure about your specific question, but you should read about all of the digitizer issues with the TD2. The Pure does not suffer from this issue for the most part. Just my $.02 worth.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajape:
I've read that the TD2 digitizer is oversensitive and that can lead to its loosing functionality over time if it's kept without a cover rubbing against jeans pockets etc, is this what you mean? In any case, the options I currently have, due to my budget mostly, would mean that I would forcibly have to purchase a new housing/digitizer ($30-$40 extra, but still better than any TD2's price) for my phone anyways, I would just much rather get a TD2 or even a MDA V housing/digitizer to replace the Pure's...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Search on Newton Rings. Digitizer fails for no apparent reason.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstackar:
Yes you could replace it if you could find the antenna + housing, they will work together perfectly. I was going to do it myself if it weren't for the digitizer problems, but who knows if it will happen to you. My recommendation: get a hard case
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajape:
Thank you... I guess it will be extremely hard to find someone else that has done this before then. Any ideas as to where to find the antenna for the Pure that would make it fit into the TD2 housing??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstackar:
I've been looking for a long time now for a TD2 antenna, and have found nothing. You could always buy a real TD2 and switch out the motherboard, but the cost would be pretty high
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajape:
LOL If I could afford a real TD2, this would all be a moot point anyways :) Thanks, man, as discouraging as the news is, it's better than wasting time in an impossible task.

Say, would I have the same issues if I were to try to transplant a Pure into a T-Mobile MDA V Housing as with the TD2 housing?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaDeanesta:
The Simple answer is no.

You won't have so much luck with this; you will have alot of problems. If you want the looks if a td2, just buy one. Otherwise, don't even bother. You might want to wait until the td3 comes out someday :) lol
[Droid Incredible General] ThugEsquire:
Under roaming settings I only have "home only" and "automatic." I want a "roaming only option," but it doesn't exist, so I have to do things the hard way. My goal is to change the PRL in my phone so that its roaming all the time, much like techknowfile does in his thread here.

However, I have had trouble finding the MSL for my phone. This guide doesn't work on my Incredible; I dial ##DATA# and hit "call" but nothing happens.

How do I find the MSL for my phone?

Also, is there a better way to force my Incredible to roam on Sprint?

Edit: The MSL is 000000! That's the kind of combination some idiot would have on his luggage! Thanks madman34!

Now, on to the PRL testing!
[Droid Incredible General] intenselyinsane:
Verizon will charge you for roaming if the triangle shows up on your phone. You can open the prl files and change the roam number to 0 and it will not roam but still use the towers.

Download and install qstp

Download sprint evdo and verizon evdo prl from colorado prl.com

Open rl editor

File

Combination prl

Join

Pick your 2 prl files

Pick output name

Put on your sd card

Dial ##755#

Hit send

000000

Prl

Update prl

Pick the one you made

Menu button

Commit modifications

Phone will reboot

Watch for the roam triangle .
