[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyx1985:
So my palm pre would get 800 kilobits (100 kilobytes\second) to 1 megabits (125 kilobytes\second) a second at my home which has a tower about 60 yards away.

I now get only max 500 kilobits (62.5 kilobytes\second) a second maximum, which seems rather slow....

Is there a software cap on the download speeds?

Is sprint throttling traffic?

Anyone else notice slower speeds compared to their previous devices?

I used Xtremelabs Speedtest.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelvibe:
I haven't noticed a cap, but I do notice that speed fluctuates greatly. One second I am getting 1.5 MBps and the next; close to nothing. This is all while not moving.

Of course, I know next to nothing about how cell networks work, but it is annoying especially while I am tethering.
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
Ok guys i've been messing around with ROMS all day, but i've decided to go with DeFrost while i'm in the Kitchen making my own brew (yes i'm giving it ago)

however I went on Market a few mins ago, and Flash as mentioned above have disappeared? is this a ROM problem?

anyone know anything :P

Cheers

Luke.
[Desire General] rolfd:
Yep, it's a problem with your rom if you are missing certain apps from the market that you could see before. I think it's something in your build.prop. Not 100% on that though.
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
it's DeFrost 1.6c so a little suprised, but there you go.

i'll try another ROM and see what happens

Thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Here you go bud...install using a file manager (e.g. EStrongs)

And yes, this is the correct version - backed up from my ROM today :D
[Touch 3G General] FOKCuK:
Guys, I don't know if we can sell our gear on this forum, so I give it a try.

Moderators, if this is not the place for such posts, can you please re-locate it. Thanks.

Anyhow. Have a disassembled Jade Touch 3G (HTC Touch 3G Jade100) for sale.

$60 including postage anywhere in USA (I am in Australia). Worked well, battery (main) good. No stilus/charger. Screen not scratched (still has protective film on it). Housing - OK.

So, what is the problem with it? Backup battery =( If you turn the phone off, when you turn it on again, all your data is gone =(

Was using it till today, then came home and though - I should fix it. As always - disassembly went well.. Found the battery... Though it was not soldered and used tiny flat screwdriver attempting to remove it. Obviously it WAS soldered, but not anymore =) See pictures.

So, $60 if you want it for parts

If you are interested, PM me.

Sergey

Bummber, cannot post images =( PM if interested

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenoran:
Just curious, why does everyone seem to lean towards ADW vs. Launcher Pro? Launcher Pro just seems to run so much smoother on the Nexus I was wondering why people would prefer ADW.

:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
I prefer ADW because it runs so much smoother for me. :)

Plus it has one feature I cannot live without now. The slide up/down gestures. I normally have the Status Bar hidden, so I can't slide down on it to get the notification tray. Now I can just slide down anywhere on the screen to pull down the tray.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ol:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th0r615:
I use Launcher Pro as well. Seems a good amount of people use ADW because its the default launcher in CM. (cyanogen choose it because its open source and LP isnt)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Also the fact that it is open source is a reason I like it too. Not because of some philosophy, but because there are already a number of different developers contributing to it. And I know that if Anderweb ever stops development on it, someone else can continue. It gives me hope that it will be a very long lasting launcher.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amdathlonuk:
Why do some people like red cars? or Ford over GM? (notice how I Americanized that <, I was going to say Renault but I don't suppose our US/foreign friends would have understood).... :)

It's just personal preference, neither is right or wrong, it just is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
This. Also, the option to stretch the homescreen to 8x8. I'm going with 4x6 right now; last I used it, Launcher Pro only offered up to 4x5.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lou2s:
Smooth-wise, both LP and ADW are similar on my Nexus One Stock Froyo. I can't see LP much smoother than ADW.

I am used to ADW's "pull up home button to show hidden app dock". I put taskpanel and Mobile setting things there which I can easily access but don't wanna be visible all the time. The swipe left/right dock in launcher pro is unnatural to me.

On the other hand, I compared both launchers (briefly) on battery usage and it looked like with launcher pro my battery was going away faster. That was a few weeks ago and several updates had been made so I can't tell now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbuns:
ADW is open source so that may be a deciding factor. Also resizing widgets is great and a feature that was missing since the last time I used LauncherPro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
I have LauncherPro as well and have to say I am quite impressed with it. The main reason I have it is to save my nexus one from screen burn by the notification bar... but its speed and stability sure dont hurt either ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaapx:
as far as i know, LCD and AMOLED screens does not suffer from screen burn... weird you said that
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexix:
In my experience setting different sizes for a widget just caused it to break its display (text overflowing or items clipped off). It seems the only reason the feature exists is because ADW allows you to setup different amounts of rows/columns of icons, and since widgets work by taking up certain amount of icon spaces they had to also then add the option to say how much icons it should take up to end up looking normal. (Confusing, huh?)

This is actually what caused me to switch away from ADW to LauncherPro. They seem very similar, but ADW was going down the path of configuration hell where they introduce confusing options that cause features to break and need even more confusing options.

The real thing is, none of those options seem to improve anything for me, but they started getting in my way. Every time I added a widget ADW then asked me to specify how it should be sized. UGH!

All I really want is the stock launcher with smooth scrolling. These launchers seem to start off just being that but slowly grow into feature-creep beasts.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
LauncherPro is faster than ADW. fact.

LauncherPro's app drawer (3D) is MUCH faster and smoother than ADW's. fact.

LaucherPro has more customization to the bottom 5 buttons than ADW. fact.

ADW is built into CM5.x, LauncherPro isn't. That's about the only drawback, and a weird one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icon57:
I am also a fan of LP, and i also found it to be a tad smoother and better responsive. imho
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
I just tried out ADW launcher for a bit instead of my default LauncherPro and have to say whike it seems like a great launcher as well there's two things the DarkDVR covered that I havr to agree with:

1. LauncherPro seems faster to me.

2. I LOVE how you can customize shortcuts on the botton of your screen. Im an extreme minimalist and the only things I want on my homescreen is the appdrawer button with quicksettings to the left of it and my browser to the right. Nothing else. With ADW you can't customize and are stuck with the phone and stock broswer on you homescreen.

Two things that I like better about ADW though:

1. The ability to swipe down while the notification bar is hidden to see it. Not a huge deal since I can just press menu while using LauncherPro to have the notification bar pop up and then pull it down.

2. When rotating your phone to landscape your wallpaper picture stays nice. In LauncherPro it messes your wallpaper photo will only show the top of the wallpaper that you usually can see fully while in portrait.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
That's wrong, just drag and drop any icon you want onto the shortcut spots on the bottom of the screen. And if you want 4 down there you can turn on the extra spots in the settings. Plus if you press and slide up on the 'all apps' button you get another bar to drop more icons on to, unlimited in size as it scrolls left and right.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
I've used LauncherPro for 2 or so weeks, then ADW for the last 2 or so weeks...

ADW FC's a *lot* more, particularly during configuration (adding/removing apps or widgets, wallpaper, etc) but also at weird random other times, like 5-10s after launching an app.. Happens perhaps 1-3 times a day for me.

ADW squeezing more into the homescreen is nice.. I actually like that I can have 5x5 on the homescreen, although I don't think I'd want more.. And the Widget config does get more confusing along with it, but it's nice that 4x4 widgets can fill the whole screen even set 5x5.

I don't use the gesture options.. Too finicky, I usually wind up moving the screen sideways or launching an app.

ADW can uninstall a program directly from the app drawer.. Drag it out, drag it to the trash, hover.. Don't recall LP being able to do that.

LauncherPro is smoother and I don't recall it ever FC'ing on me.. I think one can adjust the rows/columns available, but IIRC the Widgets then fit kinda weird on the screen, and of course had less visible space and in some cases were cropped weird because they were smaller than they should be. Don't remember, I'll have to try it out again.

People use LP's 3d app drawer? I hate it.. It wastes like 30% of the screen... Different strokes.. :)

Cons for both: Live Wallpaper. I don't use this much, sometimes I fire it up before I'm showing off the phone.. but both launchers slow WAY down with LW going. Less than the default Nexus homescreen.

I'll try LauncherPro again.. It's had a few version updates :) I just wish it were possible to sync all of the settings, vs having to set each launcher up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
But can you pick any icon for the shortcuts?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
No, you can't pick any icon you like unless you have one of those other icon customization programs. I was just responding to the claim that you can never change it from phone and browser.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
yeah, but it's just such a kick in the balls for google - private developers made the same 3D app drawer, but it's like 500% more efficient. Although... as google said on IO conf, that's exactly what they want from the community.. to replace standard android components with more efficient, customizable stuff.

Something you never gonna hear from apple. Something that will ultimately have Android ruling over the world with an iron fist of freedom and customization :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
LP gives you a choice of icons for the shortcut, including their own little library of simple white icons.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Thanks buddy for letting me know. Feel like an dummy for not figuring that out (kept trying to drag the icon to the trash can which doesnt work). Since that was my big hangup and you solved it I have to try ADW out more now...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
FWIW I feel people are greatly influenced by the name of the app.

"Pro", "Super Fast" etc are just words....

I've tried both, and launcherpro is faster, but only because it offers far fewer features.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobalu:
Backup

I've tried them both but I find myself sticking with ADW due to the ability to backup my settings and layout. If LP offered this I would probably switch back and forth until I finally decided which one I truly like.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
I don't think LP is even necessarily faster, and as for FC/weird sluggish problems that rear their heads occasionally, both Launcher Pro and ADW have those issues. AnderWeb mentioned something about the scrollable dock and having more than five homescreens being the cause, but since people want those features, well then, use them at your own risk etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
It's not weird that LauncherPro isn't built into CM... the reason is quite simple... LauncherPro is not open-source... ADW.Launcher is... CM only incorporates open-source components....

Personally, I prefer ADW.Launcher... I like have 5 columns (not just rows) on my homescreens... I love the setting backup... I love the slide gestures... yes, the animated drawer is a little slower than LauncherPro and it's not 3D... but I found the Android 2.2 3D (FRF85B) launcher is smoother than LauncherPro's 3D launcher...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuna:
I like that. That should be the new Android slogan! :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Sadly, you know wrong.. AMOLED screens are in fact, quite bad for 'burn in'
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenoran:
Weird. Sounds like split decision but I know now why cm uses it.

I've tried to adopt ADW but is just too sluggish IMO. What baffles me is is how people on n1 don't clearly see the speed difference.

Feature wise, I love the scrolling docks and the incredibly fast 3d drawer is keeping me on launcher pro. I will gladly give the dev money when it's out of beta.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazichinaman:
I too chose LP over ADW. To me, LP is more intuitive. I gave ADW a few good hours to play around but just couldn't get use to it. I have my bottom 5 dock incons all customized in LP and use all 3 docks. That was the main drawback for ADW. I also noticed that it was a bit sluggish compared to LP.

Either route, both are good programs. This reminds me of the CHOMP vs Handcent dabates. hah! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Yeah after trying both extensively for hours I decided to go with LauncherPro instead of ADW. You cant go wrong with either one but here are a couple of reasons why I made the choice that I did:

1. Better speed than ADW

2. 5 - 15 bottom row shortcuts available instead of just 2

3. Ability to hide icon text
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsoluteDesignz:
while I too prefer LauncherPro to ADW part 2 and 3 are possible in both.

I prefer LP because the simple swipe left and right > the swipe up and down.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
How about battery life? Does it change on either one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSigler:
I use launcher pro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lou2s:
I use ADW (though I test every new update of LauncherPRO).

I enjoy its swiping up/down gesture very much, and pulling up the home icon allow me to put extra frequently used apps onto it's hidden apps dock, WHICH WILL CLOSE ITSELF AFTER I LAUNCH ANY APP FROM IT SO I DON'T HV TO SWIPE AGAIN TO GET MY DIALER ICON! (in case u don't know what I mean, I guess u won't put a dialer icon on all 3 docks in launcherpro, rite?)

I mean LauncherPRO is fast (doesn't mean ADW is slow), but the left/right scrollable dock is just not my cup of tea. I can just swipe a page!

No Offense. It's all personal choice. I am grateful for having alternatives to the slow stock launcher.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
IMO the docks are functionally equivalent. The only thing that really bugs me about ADW is that if you have more than 4-5 (even small!) widgets, it FC's often unless you turn off screen cache. If you turn off screen cache, it scrolls really badly.

I wish LauncherPro could do 5x5 icon layout, I've gotten used to it in ADW.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
2) just 2? you can add 4, as well as an unlimited number in the dock.

3) The hide text option has been there for a long time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Yeah, I've learned the errors of my ways and now use ADW launcher due to finding out about the "hidden" shortcuts dock as well as the swipe up gesture allowing me to open quicksettings with ease.

By the way heres an interview that was just put up today on Androidspin with ADW creator AnderWeb:

http://androidspin.com/2010/07/03/down-with-the-developers-an-interview-with-anderweb/

My favorite part of the interview is this:

"Dan: You mentioned LauncherPro there. ADW and LauncherPro are often compared to each other on forums, in the Market comments and such. What do you think of LauncherPro?

Ander: I think that Fede is a great Java dev, with a great product. The only thing I hate about LauncherPro is the same thing I hate about ADW.Launcher: fanboys. There’s no need to send a product to the hell if you just like another one more."
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
The fact is that ADW is more flexible.

Many people say they prefere LP for that and that, but it's also available in ADW!

Those "for" LP seems to be just happy about the smooth and rapidity.

I prefer sooo much flexibility.

ADW can have enormous effects, anything is configurable (live!) like rows, columns in the drawer, on the desktop, unlimited shortcut in the dockbar, custom colors, custom screen preview, custom screen indicator (dots or like Home++), it resizes widgets, it bind the home button, it has swipe up/down effect (addictive!!!)...

I think in the end it's more a question of:

- do you like to spend 30 secondes to setup your launcher?

(but ADW has backup/restore of settings)

- or do you want just speed right now?

And of course, ADW is Open Source, which I really apreciate.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xandr00:
I personally like the minimalistic icons in launcher pro, does anyone know if I can get the LP icons and set them as icons in the launcher bar in ADW? That is my absolute favorite part of LP is the launcher bar icons.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
You can always theme... and in ADW you can change live the size of icons
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
+1 to both of these (flexibility and open source)

Main reasons I ended up going with ADW is:

1. Swipe up/down gestures for anything you want (I use up to open quicksettings and down for notification bar)

2. Home button binding for anything you want (I use it to open and close the hidden shortcut drawer so I dont have to swipe)

3. Landscape mode doesn't mess up my wallpaper picture like it does on LauncherPro. (On LauncherPro it cuts out the bottom portion of my wallpaper in landscape.)

4. Resizable widgets

5. Opensource

Alot of people say LauncherPro is faster but if you adjust the default settings (desktop scrolling speed / overshoot) on ADW it's just as fast.

Both are so close it really just comes down to personal preference. I've switched between the two about a dozen times already so you cant go wrong either way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenoran:
so much favor for the swiping in adw! I admit it's a cool idea I just haven't found a whole lot of need for it personally. I'm sure LP will pickup the slack there and implement that soon, considering the popularity.

I am about to buy a ridiculously expensive car. Of course it has an iPhone connection so that my wife can contol her iPhone via the cars controls.

Since it is a USB connection, would it be possible to make an Android app that emulates the iPhone so that I could connect it the same way?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twiztedvvv:
In a word...no...sorry.

The android has completely different connection to the iphone so you wouldnt be able to connect it, also i dont think anyone has ever emulated an iphone (or would want to XD) Id buy a different car :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] venec:
If it is that expensive, you must demand a Android compatible device!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] twiztedvvv:
Good idea :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] playa_boy:
Well, haven't found any Android compatible cars so far... And since the iPhone is a ridiculous piece of equipment it is not an option to switch. So I guess I am stuck with the jack cable.

For some reason the USB connection refuses to treat my Nexus One as a storage device like my USB stick with MP3 and Flac files. That way at least there would be the possibility of controlling the music from the car controllers.

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone might be able to help me with this.

I've just flashed to Cookie Energy Style, and had downloaded and installed the CAB for HTC Messaging, which now seems to be okay.

However, I'm wondering if there is a similar one for HTC Email. I have done a search on this thread, but can only find posts related to the text messaging side of things.

When I actually open an email and click reply, it seems to use the HTC email, which is what I wanted. However, if I'm viewing the email as the preview, or select 'New' from the menu, it opens the email/reply in Windows Email.

Is there anyway to configure this so it always uses the HTC email client instead?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[HD2 General] kam333:
There isnt a HTC email client, HTC adds some features to the winmo client, if you can see a search button in the upper right corner when you open a rcvd email msg (+ a big "To" btn upper left in outlook exchange account) then thats your lot. ;)
