How do you select txt from the browser? It's the one thing I can't work out in FroYo at the mo...

EDIT: Found it, stupid place to put it!!
[Desire General] masi0:
battery life is really good - 2-3 days with evg 3hrs phone calls, email sync every 30 minutes and some browsing. remember that battery life depends on your network converge and signal quality
[Desire General] Kookitza:
FM radio! :(
[Desire General] blackie84:
echo and white noise!!!

:(
[Desire General] daesimps:
For me there's a couple of things.

1. The FM Radio

2. The HTC Mail/Activesync setup. With the 2.1/Sense I can choose to only sync calendar or contacts but not mail from an account. With Froyo the mail component wasn't optional. I actually have 2 separate Exchange accounts - 1 for mail/contacts and the other just for the calendar but couldn't achieve that setup with Froyo
[Desire General] d3sm0nd:
I'm not missing sense, but i'm missing the Sense Dialer and Contacts app... the stock is just ugly as hell!

FM Radio is also missing...

Other thing is.. I install all apps on SD with the Froyo built in apps2sd... but after installing about 30 apps it says low on space ??? But I have enoough space on my SD... that's just weird and I'm thinking to switch to the hacked apps2sd ^^
[Desire General] zorroman:
Hi guys, can someone help me, I want to download froyo to my new HTC Desire, can you send me the link please??! :)
[Desire General] Shane2:
As far as I am aware, Froyo's built in Apps to SD setup only allows apps to be installed to SD where the developers have made that option available in their apps, and not many have at this moment in time.
[Desire General] MistaJae:
Scrollable HTC Sense Widgets!

If LauncherPro could use scrollable widgets (twitter, fb, calender, bookmarks), I'd probably go for a non-sense rom!
[Desire General] benko286:
This......
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You might actually wanna read the forum before asking a question like that. There are a number of FroYo-based ROMs already out but you need to root yur phone first...

Read, read and read again everything to do with rooting, and also use the search function ;)
[Desire General] maxermaxer:
and this!!!! I hope it can be resolved soon.......!!!!
[Desire General] dieselboy:
HTC Sense.
[Desire General] scopes64:
Like many others .... Echo and White Noise
[Desire General] Westcliff1979:
Only one thing: The loss of WiFi-Connection after SleepMode/StandBy...

I tested almost every Froyo Rom and all have the same issue for me. With 2.1 ROM (even with Custom ROMs) I don't face this problem :/
[Desire General] lazarus99:
I used DeFrost for about a week and I loved it, but the problems that made me switch back to Eclair were:

- echo & white noise

- LED bug

- phone reboots while playing FIFA 10 and once it rebooted while I was in Google Earth so it might be related with graphics

now when I switched back to 2.1 MCR and I find it very very slow :(
[Desire General] ninja.rogue:
What if you could have Froyo without echo, good battery and with Sense??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684518&page=4
[Desire General] trion:
Please give some more info, the page shows not mutch.

I tried froyo a few weeks, but hated the short battery life even on 2.1 batterylife is not perfect, had more power in my touch pro, but love my desire much more :-D
[Desire General] radiosilence:
What radio are you using?
[Desire General] Drefsab:
Im using PAYS 2.1 rom still because

1. White noise / odd call quality issues

2. No sense

3. No FM radio (this is the big one for me the FM radio I use every day).
[Desire General] rahiljnmc:
Seems people are having issues with

White Noise (alomost Everyone)

Echo

Sync (give opendesire a shot)

LED (Fixed with Defrost and Opendesire)

Wifi loosing connection even when in never sleep mode

HTC Sense (for this you have to wait for the official release)

Radio: Not an issue..its coz therz is no app yet for radio on 2.2

Battery life: Is subjective, but most of em are complaining about increased drainage of the battery..
[Desire General] Azurael:
Battery life was better for me under 2.2, back when I was running Defrost 0.7, and I'd imagine its probably got better now. Nothing else really bothered me - there was echo, 'till it was fixed (sort of), then it was quiet, but I could live with that.

But I miss Sense, and especially the HTC People app versus the horrific mess which is the standard Android phonebook (although this is largely due to my SIM contacts somehow ending up synced with Google, and missing the nifty link profile/Facebook integration), so I've gone back for now.
[Desire General] jmonfu:
when people are saying going back to 2.1, is it stock or cooked roms? I am experiencing the battery issue too but the white noise/echo is more of a pain
[Desire General] hamre:
No swedish language.

I don't have a problem understanding english but it's so much easier with the language i don't have to think what it says. :P

Htc sync...

And working Copilot...
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
Not as good as 2.1 still.
[Desire General] Jagdish84:
Mostly Echo\white noise issues, althou im a fan of the sense UI i can see myself surviving without it for the sake of better overall performence...
[Desire General] martino2k6:
The Sense camera app... just simply the best.
[Desire General] xnoise-beta:
Lost my entire battery over night (and for late at work). The phone was 100% charged when I went asleep. In the morning it was turned off and I had to charge it 10 min before turning it on. Everything else is fine :p

Forgot to mention wifi losing signal while in sleep mode.
[Desire General] Settembre Nero:
I'd like HTC Sense long-press copy and paste.
[Desire General] grazykid:
Htc sense!
[Desire General] donald-c:
Tbh I don't feel like Froyo is any faster, especially the defult home screen. With ADWLauncher it's fast but on 2.1, Sense was just as fast.
[Desire General] Kamran9558:
1) echo, white noise

2) Sense

3)FM Radio
[Desire General] gripped:
I like sense a lot but could live without it

Echo - can't use with this

No copilot - I do use this quite often. (Google nav not good in poor signal areas)

I keep a froyo as a backup so I can switch if I really want to use flash (iplayer,tvcatchup etc)

But its 2.1 for every day use.
[Desire General] rayarny:
mate yu can use tvcatch up on 2.1 as well...its m.tvcatchup.com..it works awesome :)
[Desire General] szogunPL:
only few but, very important things:

- Camera App from Sense - stock camera app from froyo have poor quality

- LED bugs

- Polish language ;) for me, it's better when i see on screen my native language :)

That is all, Froyo is faster, and better the Eclair but this few inconvenience disqualified Froyo in my Desire :)
[Desire General] Eggcake:
Main problem for me aren't the bugs but the new versions every second day. I want a stable ROM.

At the moment I'm happy with OpenDesire though. Few bugs and the speed of FroYo is amazing.
[Desire General] MacCarron:
I have tried many Froyo ROMs and found them quite good, but despite everything i still think that scrolling in the browser and between the homescreens feels a lot smoother in sense roms. That's the main reason why in the end i always fall back to 2.1 ROMs :(
[Desire General] dj_denims:
WMA support i cant seem to find one that supports WMA music format
[Desire General] neomoz:
Quadrant creates a score that involves the GPU. It's not a pure CPU based test, other benchmarks that stress only the cpu show the hummingbird performs on par with the snapdragon, both are A8 class Arm cpus running at 1ghz. Not a lot of performance diff there.

Like I mentioned before the difference is mainly in the powervr 540 gpu vs adreno and we know that gpu is 2-3 times more powerful. But I fail to see how the gpu has any bearing on the ability to use custom EQs and playback of xvid/divx video. Both things are primarily cpu orientated tasks and require customisation of the mediaserver layer to work well.
[Desire General] neomoz:
Agreed, I find the UI refresh smoother in sense roms which to me makes the rom feel faster, only a few apps can I notice the Jit difference, but a lot performance is felt in the graphics update, sense is still superior there I feel.
[Desire General] Freaku:
I used to have an HTC Diamond and I'm very much accustomed to other-than-original ROMs and such I read this section quite a lot, however I did not take the plunge yet. I have a non rooted Desire and I'm waiting for the original release. Why? Because it's coming.

Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for the people on XDA who put a lot of time and effort in porting FroYo to Desire, but custom ROMs arent't my thing anymore.

In the past, when I had the Diamond, I used to flash custom ROMs only after HTC stopped supporting the device and stopped releasing official ROMs.

I will too start flashing custom ROMs on my Desire after HTC stops supporting it, and after the latest news it seems that it will be a while and my device will even see Android 3.0.

What I love about Sense:

- the email app

- contacts and photos sync
[Desire General] capeli:
Battery!

Everything else is perfect.

With a combination of fancy widget and Launcher Pro who cares about sense?

Launcher Pro is so much more versatile!

Just wish battery lasted longer. Only getting 10 hrs with 2.2.

Was getting 35+ hrs on 2.1.

Going to try HAVS kernal to see if that makes a difference.
[Desire General] gripped:
I should have said. I'm on vodafone. They block rtsp. So I can only use the flash tvcatchup. So froyo only.
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
I'm not rooting my phone till there's a working kernel with everything (radio fm, camcoder, no incall noise) and when we'll be able to install apps on the SD Card natively, i don't want to waste time configuring A2SD.

:p
[Desire General] kevinlow:
i m with pays rom for months..everything is all perfect to me for the time being..have to pay tribute to him though ..

im getting tempted to give froyo a try..before i do so..just want some opinion from u guys ...

i m using

- launcherpro

- fancy widget to replace original clock

- dolphine browser -it gives me all the copy n paste/translate functions

- dialer one to replace the original dialer

- facebook n twitter apps to replace the friendstream

- pure calender to replace the original calender

just have a few minor question before i flash mine (i have SetRom in mind now as i prefer the theme).does the contacts n facebook sync works perfectly in most of the froyo roms? does it really give me a very obvious improvement on speed compare to 2.1??

really appreciate for all the advice and suggestion.

many thanks
[Desire General] cyron_at:
I miss the T9 function in the dialer...
[Desire General] sonderschalter:
As already mentioned in another thread, the white noise issue is the only reason why I went back to 2.1.

I could live with many problems, however having the "basic functionality" of a mobile - called telephony - working properly is mandatory for me...

Regarding facebook sync, I cannot answer you as I do not use it. All other mentioned apps I have tried when I had several FroYo ROMs on my Desire were working properly.

However, if you had Pays ROM since months I would recommend you to stick with it for a few more days - there are a couple of ROMs coming out quite soon that seem to be promising (e.g. Cyanogen, maybe DJ Droid) in terms of less issues. And to bridge the time gap until then, you can update Pays ROM, there was a new version released today...
[Desire General] kevinlow:
many thanks for the advice..i think i will stick with the pays 2.0..i saw some threads on udk leaked rom..guess will wait for it..many thanks ya
[Desire General] sonderschalter:
My pleasure...

That´s (udk leaked rom) what I meant with DJ Droid - and actually they´re faster than expected: here´s already an ETA, tomorrow or thursday....
[Desire General] Mondaro:
i still use modaco custom rom r3.1 ... mainly because of one fact : i'm just too lazy to reconfigure every single setting again and again. for now there's almost every day an update for every single rom ... so if i want to stay up2date, it would mean much work to me ... the new features of froyo custom roms don't pay out for me ... don't need wifi tethering or blue led ;)

once there's a final release of htc froyo stock rom i guess i'll update my phone - 720p is nice2have ... and then waiting for another modaco custom rom based on htc 2.2 stock ;)

It't very bad for me ...
[Touch HD General] veehexx:
well done guys! very good first impressions of the XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.5a) release.

aside from a small issue with 'waiting for SD card' which fix2 resolved, i'm very impressed with both the efforts people do here for free, and how android runs on the HD.

ok, so it's not a fine polished release as it does go extremely slow sometimes, but i believe this is down to being ran from an SD card, rather than an an actual issue. aside from the slow speed at times, and lockups (coming out of sleep) it's something i could actually use on a daily basis - i use my phone primarily as a phone, and sms/email.

i think the last time i gave this project any interest was back on the earlier 1.x android releases and from what i remember, it's a very noticeable improvement!

so, thanks to all you devs working on this, and i look forward to future releases :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] needoZ:
I recently got my EVO and really love the device. One of the things I spend a lot of time on is IRC. However I have ran in to a couple stumbling blocks. I have looked in to several solutions and the two best ones I found have been...

Irssi ConnectBot: Used to ssh to my server and restore my irssi screen session

Android IRC: A good looking and functional client.

However my issue lies in nickname completion. Irssi Connectbot needs the tab command to complete nicknames in channel, and Android IRC says it has an automatic nickname completion string but I have yet to see it work.

I have installed Full Keyboard and enabled it but cannot figure out how to access it. I was wondering if any one had any experience or hints to get either of these solutions to work in regards to nickname completion.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ezzy77:
Tab was recently implemented into Irssi ConnectBot
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tilton53:
AndChat is also very good.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zer0day:
AndChat has nick completion, press the Search button. If it only matches 1 nick, it'll autocomplete it for you or show a scrollable list to choose from. It also works with Irssi proxy which, when combined with screen, provides bnc functionality.

Very nice! Is 5 the max of the hardware sensor or software?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myslee_ovi:
The Atmel maXTouch (mxt224) can recognize unlimited touches :)

I think 5 points are very good and enough.

Well, I would love to see multitouch implemented in the form of a virtual touchpad - when I write a text I would really like to be able to move the cursor in the text just by swiping as if I had a virtual touchpad..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myslee_ovi:
If you use the Swype-Keyboard, then you can simply swype the finger from the Info-button (swype information and tips button in the lower left corner) to the SYM-Button and you get a cool cursor menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kkm883:
hi myslee_ovi ,

wow very nice apps, can you put your source for share?

would be nice if you can, thank you very much.

is that maximum 5 points on android or depending of device?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
The maximum depends on the device (specifically the sensor used to detect touch.).

So far very few device (even in high end segment) can do more than 2 fingers so this is really neat.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
maXTouch technology

Samsung Galaxy S uses maXTouch technology, which has unlimited touch capabilities! :D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jimmarn:
That is sick!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Boaty:
If you look in a system monitoring program and watch the realtime log you can see that every finger you put on the screen pops up in the log and get a number from 0 to 4. If you put a sixth finger on the screen nothing happen. You can see this with the app OS Monitor in the tap Message. So I suppose 5 fingers is the maximum of the device for some reason. Maybe Android simply do not support more than five fingers or the screen is not able to capture more then five fingers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nop56773:

5 fingers multitouch is not bad at all since the iPhone only supports 4 and the iPad only 8.

btw, anyone have all the dev tools available in JP2? i want to have it back in JP3 :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chluk2425:
i can't think of any app that requires 5 touches at a time :p

twister? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chluk2425:
at least not for HTC desire ;) a youtube video was posted before showing the difference between HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy s, the HTC will sort of "merge" together if two fingers are too close, while galaxy can do it very neat and smooth

there you go:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
The controller supports unlimited touches but I believe it can track only 16 or 20 at a time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] myslee_ovi:
mmh.... but i think, it's enough :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
It depends on the size of the screen. With a 4" screen I don't think I could do something with more than 5 fingers anyway.

4 on the 3.5" iPhone is also enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SoyDiavolo:
Amazing!!

The sourcecode is free to use? Where cam I find it?

[General Questions and Answers] vanElsacker:
I am looking for an APP for my HTC HD2.

I have to take different medication couple times a day, and unfortunally I often forget them. Therefore I look for a simple application that helps me remembering to take my medication. Using the standard calendar is not an workable option for me.

There is an application for the Iphone called MedsLog or MedsLog Lite, I look for something similar , but for Windows Mobile 6.5 (HTC HD2)
[General Questions and Answers] ajhvdb:
Hi,

I was thinking modifying SleepSense for this but don't know if my solution is workable.

You can set a alarm for every day at 9:00

This is the starttime but you can set also the next alarm with: 60,60,120,120,etc.

This would set the alarm to go off at 9:00,10:00,11:00,13:00,15:00

Is this workable ?
