[HD2 General] mr.biwo:
Im using a HD2. Soooo.... I woke up this morning to a dead battery. No problem since i didnt charge my phone b4 i went to sleep. So i turn my phone on an plug it into the charger. I wait for everything to load and then i put my 4digit password in and what happens? "Password Incorrect".... So i enter it several more times until It goes to the "a1b2c3" screen. I returned my last hd2 because of this same problem. So the 2 questions im asking are Can i lock my phone without this happening again and have anyone else experienced the same thing?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Just curious are you using the Swype Keyboard, or did you install a diff version of Swype ... Have seen other posts about people not being able to Unlock their phone and it was Swype related ...

Just thought I would mention it ....
[HD2 General] rickssj4:
yeaa it happens sometimes as it happened with me too...just dont use it as there are several other options which are much much more reliable, two that i have used myself with no problems are "s2u2" and "throttlelock"...i suggest you use either of these locks instead of the stock lock. Sadly you will have to format your phone using the hardware buttons but i forgot how to do it...sorry...
[HD2 General] scotia_rfc:
This happened to me also. Only way around it was to hard reset the device. I didn't have Swype or any other SIP installed.
[HD2 General] byronlee:
switch to other phone lock

I think it's a known issue with the stock WinMo phone lock, which tends to "forget" your password randomly. I experienced it twice. Disable it and use other phone lock apps like S2U2 as suggested by rickssj4 above. It never happened again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmiekain:
I bought an evo on release date and it had a few problems so I took it back and got a new one. About 2 hours after I got my new one home I heard it making a really fast clicking/tapping sound. (click click click tap tap tap) I thought the sound was coming from my speaker so I put it up to my ear after a few seconds I looked at the speaker and noticed that it wasnt the speaker but that it was the camera. I could see the lens physically moving back and forth really fast. Naturally I started the camera app to see what would happen. I snapped a picture and noticed that it was very blurry. I then went to camera settings and changed them and its still very blurry. Its almost as if the camera just refused to focus (looked like I needed glasses)... Naturally, the next step I took was to try to record a video... Same thing very blurry but sound is perfect. Next I tried the front facing camera. It was fine.

I have tried re-starting it a bunch of times... tried cleaning the lens...

About 4 or 5 hours later I took another picture and it was fine. Now the problem is intermittent and if I take 10 pictures 3 or 4 will be in focus and the others wont.

1. My phone is not rooted

2. I have not dropped it

3. It has not gotten wet.

4. Babied it the whole time I've had it.

5. Tried turning off auto focus and using manual

Any suggestions?

Ive had my evo for almost two years and I installed the cm9 rom for it and the camera was having this problem so I went back to my backup and same problem. It wont focus. It acts like its focusing but just wont. Also I've opened the phone several times so a replacement is out of the question.

Hello :D

I made this quickly as i was bored of having my phone all white :D i made this around the live wallpaper 'wave' i hope you like it :D I will soon (hopefully) upload it with something different than tha golden m any ideas with what to replace it with will be greatly appreciated :D

Also ask if you would like other colours :D

Screen's DroCap is a lil messed up at mo and wont take pic of the trash thing for the icons or the status bar whn pulled down sorry also the on pic i do have is a lil cut up :D and the transpantness of the status bar (which is transparent btw)

Sorry do not yet realy know how to sign the .apk's then put them into flashable .zips so you will have to use adb or android commander for this theme :D

If you don't know howto adb it enter this in cmd and make sure your sdk folder is called android sdk and is in the root of your c drive and make sure the launcher.apk and framework.apk files are in your tools folder :D:D;

cd/

cd androidsdk/tools/

adb devices

adb remount

adb push launcher.apk /system/app

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

adb reboot

Thanks :D please comment if you like it :D and if you dont like it :p i am not responsible if you damage your phone so make A BART/nandroid backup just in case :D:D

I would like to purchase one to utilize this massive screen for gaming. (Snes Rom, ect) I'm not looking to spend a ton of $. If anyone any suggestions that would be great.
[EVO 4G Accessories] CarpeD1em500:
If I'm not mistake, I do believe the Wii mote should work once the devs tweak something in the source kernel to allow that...

Which will be awesome :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] flexgrip:
Last I checked the thing that needed tweaked was the bluetooth implementation in sense. I think the wiimote guys said there is something in sense keeping it from working. I doubt it is high up on the hit list for the rom devs.

Anyway, I would say we will eventually see something. I thought the same thing about roms and controllers with hdmi. Would be kind of neat.

It seems the BGP100 works with the EVO. I am looking for one for less than $50 but may buy one anyway because it seems awesome haha. Oh you also need the drivers for it from http://www.mymobilegear.com/GameProAn.php

Any news on this? I would like a bluetooth game pad as well, preferably not the wiimote, I want to try that psx emulator.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beatblaster:
If you can live without Sense I'd give CM6 a try to be able to use your device.

EDIT: "Give it a try" should be taken with a grain of salt. I've only succeeded in getting the Wiimote to work but I just re-read your post and I'm just not sure if getting anything else to work will work at all. Maybe if you run CM6 and then try you'll let the rest of us know?
[EVO 4G Accessories] zonyl:
I use the wii mote and classic gamepad with cm 6. There is a tiny bit of lag but compensatable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kenjari:
BGP100 and Emulators

Weird cause I was just wondering what gaming capabilities the evo has, and I can see there is already leap movements and emulators working on it.

So in my research, I download a couple emulators and now thirsty for a gamepad. My wife cleaned out our closet three days ago....and behold- a BGP100 that I purchased almost three years ago.

So after purchasing a key and downloading drivers, I'm curious to see what emulators may work for it.

Anyone has a list of emulators that work for the BGP100?

BTW....I will be selling this gamepad in two weeks.. Need a little support for school books.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hydralisk:
CM6 is required to use bluetooth gamepads with the EVO. It's a true AOSP rom, so you'll lose Sense UI.

For emulators more complicated than NES, you'll need a gamepad with a lot of buttons. A wiimote won't work unless you get the classic controller attachment. Another option is to get Datel's wireless wii classic controller which works perfectly with the EVO. It's $50 though... which is about the same price as a wiimote+classic attachment. This is the controller I have and it works GREAT with emulators. I don't see any lag at all with my controller input.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kenjari:
I'm not sure if you were responding to my post hydralisk or previous. If mine, thanks buddy:D

Actually I managed to get the BGP100 working on my Fresh 3.1.0.2 (whatever the number) ROM. It works with no lag. It took a second. Actually, after reading up on it, it works with out being rooted.

(For those who have BGP100, ...you dont have to be rooted to use this.)

Although, I wouldnt recommend using an EVO without being rooted;)

I'm more curious to see what emulator this pad will work with. I dont want to purchase SNES, PSX4droid or any others with out knowing what compatibility is like.

Thanks again buddy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] donatom3:
Snesoid has a free version that works with bluetooth remotes. Actually how the wiimote works is it's a keyboard input so you just set your phone to use that keyboard input and to Snesoid it just thinks it's another keyboard.
[EVO 4G Accessories] EVOguy10:
Yup, a wiimote with or without a classic controller works with CyanogenMod-6. Download it if you want to use it. Plus, I have one of the SNES controller extensions (was only made available to club Nintendo members in Japan) for the Wiimote and playing Donkey Kong Country on my EVO with a SNES remote= win.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zonyl:
You got me curious now. Does the Stock (rooted/unrooted) 2.2 have SPP and HID support working in it now? I couldnt get anything working on 2.1 and have been using CM6 since end of July.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kenjari:
Zonyl, I'm not sure that it does. But I read from three current sources that whether you rooted or not, the drivers needed for to make this game pad work can be implemented.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheGreatYogurt:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bong4316:
The Samsung Galaxy S and the Samsung Wave s8500 are practically twins with the Galaxy S using a bigger screen and the Android OS.

Problem is the Android Powered Samsung Galaxy S is almost two times the cost of the samsung wave s8500!

Now i dont know whether this is a tactical ploy by samsung to promote its own inhouse BADA operating system but the price difference between the two phones is really an eye opener.

The good android phones and the Iphones are a bit too expensive for my taste costing as much as an entry level laptop.

Now samsung came up with the Samsung Wave s8500 which has all the power of the More expensive Smasung galaxy S

yet at only 60 percent of the price.

granted the samsung galaxy s has a larger screen and uses Android but thats about it.

- Both phones use the The 1ghz hummingbird processor

- (Cortex A8 processor PLUS a powervr sgx 535.. much better combo than the qualcomm snapdragon processor)

- Both Phones have 5 meg cameras PLUS 720p recording

- Both use super Amoled Screens with the bigger screen going to to the Samsung galaxy S

- Both have 512mb of system memory

- I just dont get it why the Samsung Galaxy S costs almost twice the samsung wave 8500

- Maybe Samsung did this intentionally knowing most people would go for the cheaper yet identically spec-ed phone suppoting their own BAda OS.

-

Still since the hardware under the hood is so similar is it possible to port the Android OS from the samsung galaxy to the samsung wave 8500?

I just like the samsung wave's price better

(prices for Samsung galaxy s in my country 32,000 pesos or 687.433 USD

Samsung Wave S8500 in my country 18,300 pesos or 393.464 USD

Microwave it, and if the dont check to see if you opened it up, unscrew it and scrape around with something sharp. Or try unplugging it half-way through a hspl flash, although that can be fixed

[General Questions and Answers] nickbw:
Android 2.1 based MoDaCo Custom ROM for the GSM HTC Hero with update hero radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 signed

recovery immage RA - hero - v1.6.2img

I have been happily using MCR 3.2 ROM with above radio until last week, when I finally took the plunge and tried 2.1. First I tried r5 2.1 but, perhaps because it includes the radio upgrade it did not work for me, so I tried r4 2.1 and this worked OK. I had the boot loop but removing the SD card sorted that. Can someone answer the following points please?

Nandroid - I have this folder on the SD card and it is called HT9BKL904582 it contains the following:-

BCDEMRS - 20100601-2338

BCDEMRS - 20100322-2037

BCDEMRS - 201000607-2354

BDS - 20100702 - 2202

BDS - 20100703 - 1205

BCDMRS - 198800611 - 1139

BCDMRS - 20100602 - 0001

BDS - 20100701 - 2159

BDS - 20100703 - 1146

Can anyone explain how the backups are labled and in what order they are stored? What is the difference between BCDEMRS and BDS? What is the number following - it would seem to be date; year, followed by month, followed by day, so is last group of numbers time in 24 clock?

Is there any way of determining which ROM the backup refers to?

I can download apps from the market. I have installed quite a few including Titanium but when I reboot phone these no longer show in apps list - why?

Is it anything to do with having had aps2sd in MCR 3.2 and not having aps2sd now?

Finally, I originally formatted the 4GB SD card with asmall swap partition, ext3 partition and the remainder Fat32. Whet I conected phone to Ubuntu 10.04 it showed up in file system as two partitions. Since installing 2.1 one of the partitions has disappeared, how, why?

Backup programs such as Sprite are self-extracting., in that you don't need the program installed to run the restore operation.
