[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mcall_r:
you can find a WORKING version of swype for hero here!

Once installed, remember to tick to activate swype under Language & Keyboard settings, and press and hold in any message field to change the input method to swype!

**Mod edit**

Link removed, as Swype is subject to OEM licencing, so linking to it is not permitted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] maddog497:
You can use swipeit, it is a demo but is very similar to swype. The purchase price on Swipeit is to steep. If it was 2.99 maybe but not what they want.
[HD Mini General] cko2:
hi guys

i have often the problem when someone calls me.. the hd mini displays a wrong contact or even worse.. i send an sms to a contact and it gets delivered to another person!! my friend has a hd2 and he does have the same problem.

anyone knows maybe how to fix? got newest shipping rom on mine..

thanks
[HD Mini General] thomasalva:
same Problem dude..........
[HD Mini General] Baadshah555:
Same Problem with my HTC HD Mini dude.. What to do.?
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
Where are your contacts located ? SIM Card ? Phone memory ? or both ?

Try to keep your contacts only in phone memory, not on SIM card.
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Sounds like a corruption of the contacts database. Did any of you use a syncing process such as ActiveSync or MyPhone?

I'd suggest a hard reset, then make sure the contacts are correct on the host (Outlook or MyPhone) then try resyncing and see if it sorts it.

A pain to do, but probably no worse than sending your messages to the wrong place!
[HD Mini General] cko2:
i dont sync my phone at all. but maybe this is caused by PIMBackup? i did use it to transfer data from my old phone
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
I notice the problem on the Notifications in the Lock Screen. Often, the older or previous missed call ID will be displayed, instead of the latest missed call ID.

I hope HTC can issue a fix or update to correct this problem.
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Could be- PIMBackup is not fully compatible with WM 6.5.3 It caused major SMS problems on cooked 6.5.3 ROMs on the HD2.

Once you have the correct contacts on the phone, Microsoft MyPhone is a much better option.
[HD Mini General] Virtual HTC:
Sometimes I have the same problem!

HTC we need a fix! :)
[HD Mini General] bianconiroberto:
the problem is caused by WM6.5

Same problem on a HTC clone. The problem is WM6.5: when you receive a call with hidden ID, the phone shows the previous call's number instead of telling you that the ID is hidden. I couldn't find any solution yet. Windows Mobile is ****.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] k50aker:
Hi,

I got a few spare androids' and i'm considering giving them to my kids (11 and 12) to play around with it and enjoy the android experience. however I don't want them being able to put 3rd party applications. how do i go about removing the option of "unknown sources" and maybe wifi from the settings.apk.

I'm not new to java and xml but sort of new to android development, I've tried several ways to remove it from the apk only (ark, ddx, baksmali, apksign) I did it in so many ways that i can't remember them all. I've also tried to decode the apk with apktool, ddx, baksmali, and creating a new project from existing source in eclipse, and I couldn't figure out what parts I have to modify to get it working (i kept on getting errors in eclipse so i wasn't even able to compile and test it in DDMS-eclipse).

Also i would like to know if maybe it is necessary to port the whole kernel source into eclipse?

I've searched all over the internet for a information for this specific thing and I couldn't find anything.

Btw, I'm using nix lucid.

Thanks In advance.

any help would be appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lagu805:
how about flash the supere rom without the google apps? that way they wont be able to access the market.. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] k50aker:
I know, the problem is not the market, i can pull it out from the phone with adb in a second w/o superE, but they can still install stuff on it with a sd card, and I would hate to not put in a file browser on the phone.

I think it would be a good idea to make a rom that's made for kids, for playing games and stuff without me worrying about it.

I'm sure that they will try to figure out a way to get around the "no market on the phone" and I should not underestimate a kid (even a 12 year old). I've seen him getting around lots of technological obstacle's.

I think that the world could use a kid's version of android, you know, get them hooked when they're young. The last thing i would like to hear from my kids is talking about iPhone or Windows. We're all linux in our house :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 3rdcoast:
Interesting. I too gave Magics to my 11 & 12 yr olds, one without a data plan and the other without a SIM at all. I think the right way might be multiuser like we already do on the desktops. Sudo would be a nice touch but I'd be happy to login as admin to install or whatnot.

Multiuser is something I'd like to see anyway with most or some settings on a per user basis. Or at least just for security, normal login can't do critical tasks that might cause issues. I think we'll hear about this again once we hear about some seriously dangerous apps/scams/viri on the phones.

In the meantime your best bet is education and rules about what can and can't be done. Then once per week or so you take the phone and check things out, update as needed, etc. So far my kids have little interest in breaking the rules and are happy browsing the market for fun things.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Case_:
I think the only way to achieve this is to download the AOSP, edit the sources to remove the options and then compile your own ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] k50aker:
well, it is just a nix and SUDO should be possible, but setting this up is a quite a project and I don't think this is a one day project.

As for educating, I think they know right from wrong and I don't think that they will willingly break the rules, the market however is full of apps that are not meant for young kids..... what do you think they're going to do when they bump in to one of those apps? ;) .

Actually what i wanted to do is to give them a phone with a line and no data plan so they can play games or watch movies, If the kids want to use the internet, there are more than enough boxes at home they can use. This phone is strictly for voice text and games.

What I want to accomplish in general, is having a child safe phone, and have the other parents here who want their kids to have to have an android, enjoy it. My way of giving back to the community.

But to have a phone that will be suitable for the purpose (not just for my kids) the data has to be completely disabled, and wifi is going to be the issue. putting on an encryption on wifi is a joke, ever heard of aircrack? I'm sure there are lots of determined horny 15 year olds that will get around that. (am i paranoid?)

That's exactly what i want to do. The question is how do I do it?

Again, I'm not a complete noob, I just never played around with android as an OS. so if I can have the first push here here what I'm supposed to do to start this I would really appreciate it.

As I've said in my first post, I tried a few things and i couldn't get it right. what part of this don't i get??

Thanks a lot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alan090:
well your not even going in the right direction..

do you have an IDE with compiler and the android SDK all set up? then you can check on dferrera post on how to compile android from source... its listed in this forum.. please search

if your not a programmer or have no idea what classes - functions etc are then this might now be an option for you that is something you can be instructed on

you are going to need to learn to compile android from source and modify it, this is a very big task mate - be prepared, and no one can answer all the questions for u ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] k50aker:
Thanks for the reply, but i can't seem to get java5 working on 10.04 (the 10.04 repos have only java6 but i did add the old repos and ran in to some issues), I had it working on 9.04 though. anyone made it run on 10.04? or should I downgrade (or run it in VB) to 9.04/.10?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Brut.all:
@k50aker

Hiding Wifi and other things should be quite easy task, but... how do you want to protect against system reinstallation? They could download any ROM from internet and install it in just 10 minutes. Backuping is easy too, so they could have 2 systems installed and switch between them when their dad comes home.

Android phones aren't desktops. You can't have root and don't give it to other users of a device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 3rdcoast:
I wouldn't want to hide WiFI, the device is useless without connectivity, much cheaper toys out there for that if I wanted stand alone.

My two children each have a Magic and this is my experience, none of the worries that many parents seem to fear. They are well behaved and so far no problems and they are ready for 2.1 since 1.5 is just too confining even for them. Education goes a long way.

The best choice I made was to not put a SIM in one of the phones. WiFI is ideal since she is nearly always in a zone. This has gotten her used to IM instead of texting. Same effect but costs nothing. A SIP app works almost as well as SIM voice. Someday I'll do a data only SIM so she has total coverage, she'll understand that heavy data is to be done over WiFI and cell data is for VoIP and for times when it is really needed and can't wait.

However it would be nice if there was a limited setting requiring admin password for certain functions. But really, there hasn't been any problems but my kids might be grateful enough to not abuse the rights I give them. Best advice besides education if they are very young is to not SIM until after they get into the alternatives and not be addicted to texting. The older one has learned to watch her usage patterns and has to pay if she goes over budget.

You are right, but one of the later steps I thought about would be a custom boot and custom or no recovery. But I will figure that out later in the project.

But i will probably change my direction on this (wifi etc.) based on what you guys say.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] foksh:
Hello all;

I know some people who have tried flashing ROMs in the wrong way, or used bad ROMs, or maybe used ROMs for other devices on theirs, which made them end up with a dead device in the end.

And because HTC doesn't support such misuse of the device, you might end up throwing the device away...

Anyway; if you have a dead HTC Diamond, or any other HTC device, I can fix it for you.

My prices are cheap because I deal with such devices daily, and it depends on the damage happened to the device.

For more info; please don't hesitate to PM me.

Good luck all

[Desire General] schnickschnack:
I seem to have an issue with my desire's camera.

Fotos are always fuzzy in the middle, when the focus is farer than 5 meters away. no matter which resolution or setup i choose. The autofocus dosn't work like it should - only the edges are correctly focused.

Please tell me that it's just a software bug... is there a chance to solve this?
[Desire General] al89nut:
Is there anything on the lens or the cover? Could be a smear or other obstruction
[Desire General] schnickschnack:
Thanks for the answer but no. It's clean.
[Desire General] spud_work:
my first desire had to go back and be replaced as the camera wouldn't take pictures that were in focus (even though the autofocus feature would appear to work), so I would recommend swapping this for another device

[Galaxy S I9000 General] saldawop:
Can anyone tell me if ,when purchasing a phone for mobiles.co.uk, you get 1GB or 3GB of data?

I seem to be finding different opinions.Some say you have to go directly through T-Mob to get 3GB, rather than 1GB through a 3rd party seller.And some say either way,with an Android phone you get 3GB?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I'm not sure about this, but the feeling I get is that you may get 1GB (and no tethering, IM etc.) - it seems that third party resellers are reselling a standard plan where they've already chosen a Flexible Booster for you. Mobiles.co.uk offer "Text" and "Web" plans on T-Mobile, which either have unlimited texts or Web access, both of which are Flexible Booster options.

If you buy from T-Mobile directly, you get the 3GB Internet (effectively Web'n'Walk Plus, so tethering also allowed) and then you also get to choose a Flexible Booster. So, while I could be wrong about this, it looks to me like you lose out quite seriously by not buying direct from T-Mobile. However, I have seen people claim elsewhere that they've successfully argued with T-Mobile that they should get 3GB, though some said they couldn't get them to budge - certainly doesn't seem to be as standard through a reseller though.

Hopefully they'll announce it officially soon!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saldawop:
Yeah, I may wait a couple of weeks.

TBH I wish I had seen this phone last week.Would have ordered through O2 and had unlimited data.Since 24th it seems all new contracts only offer 500MB per month which is right at about the limit of what I use...and thats when NOT using slingplayer or TVCatchup...although I guess the fact it has an FM radio would save me a bit of data usage(as long as it works , unlike on the HD2 I had)
[HD2 General] denraweb:
So i have Garmin mobile xt on my hd2 and I like it. I ride my bike around alot and I have bluetooth speakers in my helmet so I can talk on the phone or listen to music. The problem I'm having is when I'm listening to music and using my Garmin to go somewhere, and the lady speaks to tell me when and where to turn, she basically talks over the music.

Is there a way (registry edit, or app?) to force the music to pause while she talks and then start playing when she's done?

[EVO 4G General] synplex:
After dealing with Sprint terrible dead zones in my community and getting tired of their stupid Airave micro range, I'm moving to Verizon when their Droid X comes out july 15.

It's sucks that I'll to leave sprint great prices and decent customer service, but the Droid X ups one on the Evo in my opinion (camera shutter button, larger battery, 8gb internal memory).

My question is will all my app on my evo work on the droid x? Their screen resolution are different.

Anyone else jumping ship? :D
[EVO 4G General] newone757:
It's the same resolution.

Droid x is ugly to me, too big, and doesn't have a front camera. Takes worse pics in comparison too, and i noticed shutter lag in a YouTube vid as well.

Only thing I like about it is processor and gpu
[EVO 4G General] synplex:
Droid X Res: 854 x 480

Evo 4g Res: 800 x 480

From what I read.

Also the pics and video shot on the droid X looked much better in the reviews I read.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
processor and GPU would be nice, not to mention the hardware buttons. I'm not a fan of slightly moving my finger down and being at the home screen, losing what I was doing.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
The Droid X looks ugly to me, and I have confidence that any complaints or shortcomings felt about the Evo will be addressed by our developer community. I'm up to 50 FPS right now on my Evo with a test kernel (Rev. 0003, Nova panel, no tearing or defects).

Where I'm at (Northern Virginia), I get great Sprint service. Around 2300 kbps on 3G and just under 5000 kbps on 4G with 1 bar.

I'll be staying right where I'm at.
[EVO 4G General] :
Droid X's bootloader is locked, big disadvantage for me. who knows if and when you'll be able to flash custom roms.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
I' m not going anywhere, i love my EVO, and there will be always a new device "better" so i don't even bother
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
You purchased a Sprint Phone to use in an area where you knew it would not get great reception? Then complain about it?
[EVO 4G General] skoobz:
burned.

haha.

sprint's been good to me. if you're an ass to custser rep, then expect them to be an ass. i've asked nicely and received a lot of good stuff from them. i upgraded my touch pro to a touch pro 2 for free in march and then several months later, was able to get my evo for the same price as new subscribers. with those buttons the droid x looks so yesterday.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
I will never return to Verizon. The coverage was much worse for me and I was paying 30% more than I do with Sprint.

[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Verizon is so much more expensive than Sprint. Droid X has much better hardware, but looks slightly worse.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
this !!

il keep my evo
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
nahhh EVO is too sexxy for me to leave for a ugly DROID X.besides i get 25% off of my bill every month from SPRINT,cant beat that
[EVO 4G General] martouf13:
As someone else posted, why would you get a phone on a network that doesn't have good coverage in your area... Have fun with your Droid and higher phone bill with Verizon though... Not sure why you needed to let everyone know that you were leaving your EVO behind either.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Verizon is way too expensive, EVO = 70 a month with unlimited mobile calling, DroidX = 120 a month, in 2 years that = $1200 more for Verizon and they are getting ready to do the 2gb data cap like ATT. Screw that LOL I get just as good of service here in S.Florida with Sprint as I do with Verizon. The only thing I like better about the DroidX is the GPU but the fact of the matter is these phones are just like our computers, the games will always be made to support the widest array of customers possible so even though the GPU is more powerful on the Droid it will still be stuck playing the same games as the rest of the Android phones. I much prefer Sense, that ui on the Droid looks terrible, I don't like the design with the big hump on top and I don't like how big the thing is, nor do I like the cheap plastic hardware buttons the EVO is much sleeker and a much nicer phone IMO.

I'm sure the DroidX will be popular though Verizon/Motorola are really good with the advertising and hype much like Apple is with the iPhone, which is a good thing, without them Android might still be where it was a couple years ago.
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
I think I will stick with the already rooted HTC Evo 4G with Sprint's cheaper plan.

As I said before, yeah, HTC screwed up pretty bad, but the dev community here is so ridiculously awesome I'm not even worried about anything anymore.

At this rate, I think the custom kernel will have working cameras sooner than later.

And besides, someone mentioned how Motorola is making their phones the unbreakable fortress software wise. All that headache to root a phone will paying an extra 30 dollars a month? Nty.

And someone else also mentioned, newer phones, usually better. Too bad, so sad.
