[Droid Incredible Android Development] ksizzle9:
Just did it... im pretty familiar with android but not using a tool to flash recovery. Tried a couple of different ROMs but waiting for something that is actually better than my senseUI people complain but its better tan stock. Just makes for longer update waits. Wish we could port bookmarks widget.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bxsteez:
I'm a bit confused. Why would we wanna upgrade to ClockworkMod Recovery 2.0.1.3? Is there more functionality in that newer release?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
no not really lol... just a newer version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bxsteez:
Oh i thought i was missing something. I already started downloading version 2 lol. Still very new to the Android world.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
rom manager automatically update it. i think.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bxsteez:
I thought i was reading that the update didn't hold when done through ROM Manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
yea i heard that rom manager only thinks that it works... bc if u flash into recovery without going to rom manager it still has the only version
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nfcrockett:
I use Visual Bookmarks to replace the Sense widget, gets the job done.

Currently only the reflash v2.0 tool can update to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.0.1.3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
what about manually flashing with flash_image?

EDIT: nvm, we need an unlocked nand for that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clubtech:
I understand the SGS comes with flashlite until the upgrade to Froyo is done.

Can someone who currently has the device check if he can see live video feed on justin.tv in the browser?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
Just tried it, but unfortunately doesn't play the video with the embedded flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] billu:
how about Skyfire browser? Might be ok on that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clubtech:
Like most other Flash video sites, Skyfire fails to load justin.tv live streams.

Skyfire is a true FAIL so far. it does not load most flash sites and they don't seem to be adding support for them.

Can't wait for Froyo on this device! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] billu:
Surprised about Skyfire not working with Justin tv. Their Windows mobile version plays the videos o.k.

Which version are you using, they have recently updated it to 2.1 and it should have flash 10.1 capability.

:confused:

Hi, have just begun to use my X10 Mini Pro. Very satisfied as such but frustrated in the use of the HW keyboard. Specifically, I am having problems generating "non-English" letters, such as Å, Ä and Ö. On the keyboard there is a key labled "Sym/âü", all this does, however, is bring up smileyes, pretty much. Anyone know how to generate these other letters from the keyboard?

Thanks/M
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tinpanalley:
Hey guys,

Let me preface this by saying that I can't DEFINITIVELY confirm this as a fix but it seems to have worked for me and my wife. There could be other factors that I'm not thinking of though. But essentially, the idea is that you turn off T-Mo syncing when both background data AND auto-sync are on. I think this causes the phone to actually "register" the T-Mo getting turned off, rather than still operating underneath your OFF controls. Then you turn back off the sync settings.

- In Accounts and Sync, check ON Background data and Auto-sync, if they're not on.

- Go into T-Mobile and UNCHECK Sync Contacts

- Go back to and UNCHECK Auto-sync.

If you now look at the T-Mo settings, there will no longer be a check box OR a sync icon and while the icons themselves probably have nothing to do with it, it would appear that the phone is no longer even offering the OPTION to sync T-Mobile. Again, I can't say this is a definitive fix for the problem, but since doing this, I haven't seen the syncing icon. And since doing this to my wife's phone, hers has gone from syncing all the time to not at all. And needless to say, battery life has improved.

I'd love to see if it DOESN'T work for someone. Just so that we can rule this out if it's not really a solution.

Thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jenol:
I say this works has worked for me and greatly improved my battery.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] [hfm]:
T-Mo just needs to get rid of this software when 2.2 is ready. There is absolutely zero reason for it to be there when google does this much better and it's built into the OS. They are killing their customers. My wife is furious about her contact issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sandpaperback:
This is actually the first time I've read about the syncing issue, though I have noticed it. Out of curiosity though, I'm assuming that by disabling the general Auto-Sync setting that things like Facebook, Twitter and Pure Messenger aren't going to update unless I do so manually, right?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] AFP520:
If you turn off auto sync, everything needs to be manually updated. I noticed a HUGE jump in battery life from disabling auto-sync. I just turned it back on, but turned off auto-sync for everything except gmail and weather. I'll see where this leaves me.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zayg1:
I just got my new slide and I like it execpt the keyboard it weird compared to my old g1 & sense kinda bugs me. I had trouble w/ all the syncing killing my battery but after this I see a great increase in battery life.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] krolla03:
I have Background data still checked and Auto sync. But i disabled News Stock and Tmobile. And left Facebook Gmail and Weather. Well see where that leaves me with battery

[XPERIA X10 General] apr1000:
hey, just a few quick questions about the xperia x10's headset that comes in the box

1st off i know the phone itself doesn't have radio, but it includes a headset with it, could someone tell if if the headset includes a radio or not or is that another headset?

also, I wanna know how good the headset out of the box is, a picture would be nice, but not necessary, is it comparable to the apple headset with the mic and all?

and some features of the headset would be nice too

i know this may sound a lil wierd, but i'm trying to find out as much as i can about this phone before i buy it (500 dollars is a lot of money, especially for something without warranty)

oh and i hear the call quality on the actual phone is quite bad, i'm wondering if the headset will make up for it at all?

once again thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
If it is wired then yes, it will make up for the In call Volume. The headset is quite descent.

Model : MH - 500
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
The mw600 headset comes with built in radio and any headset helps the in-call volume :-)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wezternator:
I wouldn't class SuperHero as a Sense ROM. There's very little of the SenseUI left at all, its 99% vanilla
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FraBle:
I know, it's a mixed ROM, but it's based on VR 10.3 (SenseUI-ROM) and still has some HTC stuff in there. Would I put it into the AOSP thread, everybody would claim that it isn't AOSP...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciedric:
Recently I've used the recovery dvd to reset my PC. I also have to install Active Sync. Strangely enough I couldn't install the disk that HTC puts into the boxes where you buy your phones in. The program says that you must install flash 8.0 or higher with a link that link you up to Adobe's website. I already did install the latest flash player. I uninstall it, reset the computer, put in the disk, hit the link, install the flash player again, restart again. Still the same message. After that I downloaded ActiveSync 4.5 at the website of Microsoft. It works okay.

When I put a new contact in the phone it won't set the contact into Word Office Outlook 2003. Otherwise it works.

I've tried to delete the device into ActiveSync and loaded up in it again but that won't work unfortunately. Please help!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdna72:
Is everything else you selected to sync sychronising properly? It's not just simply that you didn't select the options when you re-installed?

Does ActiveSync come up with any error messages? It could be that you need to delete partnerships and re-establish them - in my experience ActiveSync is a bit 'fussy' when uninstalled and re-installed.

Whatever, make sure you do full backup(s) before trying anything - I lost all my data one time when an engineer 'tried' to re-establish my ActiveSync partnership!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciedric:
My pc was completly turned up side down so I used the recovery dvd and that deleted the whole C disk, also ActiveSync. I do had to download ActiveSync from the website because the disk wouldn't run. And yes I do change some options.

It can not synchronised some contacts that I install on my Topaz. Installing contacts in Outlook 2003 to the device works, otherwise not.

It gives the warning code 1.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdna72:
Sorry, not sure what to suggest here.

If NOTHING from the phone is syncing with Outlook (i.e. no Appointments, Tasks or whatever) it sounds to me as though it could be a problem with the firewall - if you have one set up. Try disabling that and syncing.

If it's only Contacts that aren't syncing, but it works the other way, I'm at a loss.

Worth looking at the Microsoft Support pages - but ActiveSync often seems to have a mind of its own!

Sorry I can't help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciedric:
It does Sync tasks, appointments, etc. Just a couple of contacts strangely enough :S
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdna72:
...and it won't sync NEW Contacts at all? I've had the problem previously where existing Contacts didn't get changed - ActiveSync seemed to have got 'confused' as to which was the most up-to-date version and I had to go through entire Contacts list making small changes, waiting for them to be replicated, and if they were not then deleting that Contact on both devices and adding them back in.

That's simpler than it reads - but if you can't add NEW Contacts from the phone I'm not sure that's the problem.

Sorry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciedric:
Thnx for your input ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcrat:
ive tried to synce my gmail contacts all goes well with the setup then it wont even sync i keep hitting the synce button and NOTTA. so i said fuc* it and did it all manually. must be a microsoft thing.
[About XDA developers] abmantis:
Some weeks ago I suggested the separation of themes and apps in two different forum sections for the HD2 but nothing changed...

Now a new "HD2 Q&A" section opens... what is the difference between this new section and the "HD2 General" section?! People would just be confused...

I really think that the separation between themes and apps is more important than general conversation and Q&A...
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
The Q&A forums have helped tidy up various forums (mainly android based) where a lot of new users are driven to XDA by the new smart phone devices aimed at general consumers instead of tech users - as was the case in the the good ol' days :). People are less and less inclined to search and just post for answers. Despite our best efforts they continue to post so we found it's better to give them someone to ask little questions that don't clutter up the other device sub forums. General is for more general problems, maybe HW, maybe opinions on the phone, complaints with carriers, etc.

I can't recall the discussion on seperate Themes and Apps forums in the moderator area, so I can't comment.
[About XDA developers] chvvkumar:
IMHO as the OP said, the app and themes are better in a sub forum. I too think that the Q&A section is confusing (may be it should be a sub forum in general forum?)

Something like this:

EDIT: I guess you would also need a zombie HD2 forum in the near future for Androidised HD2s ;)
[About XDA developers] abmantis:
Yeah, I can see that the Q&A forums can be useful, but they can be a little confusing at first... but that's just a matter of getting used to it, so now that I start to see it with another eyes I thank you guys for that ;)

Regarding the separate Themes and Apps forum I apologise but I think that I created that discussion somewhere inside the HD2 forums so probably it was missed...

But it is still an ideia :D An example is that there are a lot of people that don't really care for themes, so it is quite hard to check for new apps for the HD2, and vice-versa, because there's a lot of "movement" in that forum...

I like the way you organized it in the image. Maybe some moderators can take a look and consider this? Or other forum organization that you consider better...

There is no phone on the market that can come close to the EVO. I hate when people say the EVO pinch to zoom is slower than the Iphone they never ever ever ever mention the great reason why. Its going to be a little slower Unlike the iphone it takes the text on the page and re-sizes the words so u can read them and it has flash player which takes longer to load and with all that its still only like 1/2 of a second behind. sorry that was my rant for today:D i guess the moral of the story is stop comparing anything to my mini laptop that's my name for the EVO lol
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
What ever dude. Feel better now about your purchase?
[EVO 4G General] DaytonaZ33:
No offense, I love the Evo, but that was one of the worst video reviews I've ever seen. For one, he most likely has auto-fit to page turned off, as even my old Moto Droid did what the Evo does.

And he claims the Evo wins in the "screen" department because of the buttons on the bottom? Shouldn't that fall into the design aspect more?
[EVO 4G General] scev5:
Bottom line droids x haas superior hardware, minus a front facing camera.

Evo is more developer friendly. Apparently motorola is locking the phone down in a way that will make custom roms much more difficult and possibly impossible.

Verizon is also going to be capping data soon. I just got orb live working on my evo so I'm definitely going to need unlimited data

So if your into the rom scene use lots of data or want video chatting you might want to stuck with the evo for now.

Also that review was horrible and you using it to justify evo over droid makes your argument unsound
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
****tiest review ever.

Worse than Chris's on the HTC EVO 4g

Physical buttons ftw, I hit the EVO's buttons by accident all the time, pain in the ass.

The camera, I'm not so sure if he was bullshitting, engadget said it was better.

It has a way better graphics card.

And I hate how the EVO moves text around, I don't want it to. (In the web browser)

I am getting a Droid X eitherway. His review sucked. The EVO is great, but the weak gpu makes me limp. (Droid X's is way way way more powerful)
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
One thing that turns me down about the Droid X is the potential of the locked boot loader.
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
WOW so yall don't care if the buttons feel flimsy and the camera is horrible and the phone can't do something as simple as resize text again wow! Well good luck to u don't come crying back when those flimsy buttons start falling off lol.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Don't understand the hype on the Droid x. It really isn't THAT much better than the Evo, but it is better.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4g
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
OP...there's a number of features on the Droid X that make it 'better' than the Evo.

But here's the point:

It's OK man......

It's ok.

Our Evo is still good.

It's... ok.

Breathe.
[EVO 4G General] trojandnc:
That may be. But after reading numerous reviews and comparisons and coming from a HTC Hero->Blackberry Curve--> BB 8100--> Motorola E-815--> I couldn't be more pleased with ever aspect of my EVO. Especially the Simply Everything+$10 plan.
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
there's always the droidX froyo rom :)
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
Here is some good reading from a very informed person regarding this whole droidx vs evo specfest

http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/105351-htc-releasing-firmware-update-30fps-cap-lets-more-proactive-2.html#post1016816

http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/109920-our-beloved-evo-beats-droid-x-video.html#post1019942

His two main points are:

1. The Droid X does not have a separate GPU - its PowerVR SGX530 GPU is part of the SoC (system on chip) architecture.

The EVO does not lack a GPU - its AMD Z430 GPU is part of the SoC.

2. Benchmarks are irrelevent and inaccurate and most ppl don't even know what they measure (especially tech reviewers). Read his posts, they are a.good read.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Well, those were certainly interesting posts. Guy seems to know his stuff too.

On another point... Arguing hardware buttons vs soft buttons is pointless. Nobody can say which is "better". That's generally a preference. It doesn't matter at all to me. I'm not so clumsy that I constantly bump the soft buttons on my evo though and I also do not believe that all hardware buttons will break.
[EVO 4G General] monkeefied:
Personally since I've gotten my EVO I could give a flying f_._._ about any other device. Apple, Droid, BB whatever. People always want bragging rights to prove what they have is better than what someone else has and I don't care what anyone else has or what proof they have that their device is better than mine. The EVO does everything I need it to do, my data plan isn't restricted so I don't have to worry about getting my internet cut off when I really need it. My screen is HUGE so I can watch movies on the go. And I love love love text resizing, honestly to the guy that says he hates that??? Why? Why do you want to scroll the screen back and forth to read a webpage? That makes no sense to me, but whatever floats your boat I guess. Sorry OP's rant sparked mine off :D
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Weak GPU? wat
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
Agreed. No other device can touch the EVO in my opinion. There's just too much going for it on the whole that works for ME, at least. Everything you mentioned, the front facing camera, which I use quite often (despite people saying nobody would ever use it). 4G is fast and it's available (or will be soon) in both places that I have to live in (DC and San Francisco). The kickstand is priceless and the device is simply beautiful. And of course, Sprint is still the cheapest even with the $10 premium fee (Verizon is charging $30). The Droid X is definitely a good phone but it is still lacking some of the more appealing hardware specs of the EVO that I really like and Verizon's prices are killer. And personally, the Droid X isn't as handsome as I'd like.

At this point, most high end phones do generally the same thing. There's really not much difference between the EVO and the Droid X and the Galaxy S Series and the iPhone4. It all comes down to personal preference. In the long run, I believe the EVO will be the one with the biggest developer support as well. I'm glad Verizon customers have something to compete with. It only helps to increase Android's marketshare.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I thought about jumping to the Droid X but being stuck on EVDO when LTE is close to launching on Verizon, you're stuck with the Droid X for 2 years. I'm also assuming that when LTE does launch, Verizon will include caps similiar to ATT. Enjoy that. Not the best time to buy a Verizon phone. I will be happy with my Evo for 1 year if Sprint continues to release good Android phones., if not. I can switch in 2. No biggie.

[EVO 4G General] madsquabbles:

same games that run smoothly on the moto droid run choppy on the evo. it's not b/c of the fps lock either, the evo never gets to 30fps on some of the games.

I wouldn't say its the GPUs doing on the Evo's part.
