[EVO 4G General] thenewguy821:
I want to send a HUGE thanks to all the developers and users on the site. I have had nothing but problems over the past week, with my EVO being stuck in some inbetween root and unroot world... I couldn't load the PC36IMG file to re-root, I couldn't get toasts part 2 running to run so i could get those files to run, couldn't get files to flash that needed flashing, etc.... I was stuck only able to use one or 2 different roms, which, while allowing me to have a phone, frustrated me to no end, knowing that it wasn't right. Through piecing bits of info I read in various different threads, i was finally able to do everything that I needed to do to get back to a good rooted state. I can now run any Rom, and have control over my phone again. I am starting to understand ADB a little better, and am no longer intimidated by it.

Only problem I still am having, is the 4g issue... I had a bad Mac address, which I was finally able to run the fix (I couldn't get in before because of the state of the phone), but I still get the (Turning on, scanning, connecting to sprint, turning off, repeat). I know it is only a matter of time till that gets fixed as well.

I decided to thank everyone in a single thread, because it was no one persons help or advice that helped me get through this. It was a collective effort by everyone. I don't want to even TRY to thank individuals, for fear of leaving someone out.

Thanks again....

I was having the 4g issue.. i just reverted back to the DC ROM 3.1.2.. works like a charm for me. I'll wait until the stable Froyo ROMs before i upgrade again.
[XPERIA X10 General] mackdaddy187:
I rooted my phone as soon as I got it so I don't know how the original Rogers firmware handled these 2 issues.

So on my old phone (k850i) whenever I had an unread voicemail, it would flash an icon on the status bar to let me know that I had a new voicemail and when I checked all new voicemails, the icon would go away. This phone was unbranded on some O2 firmware but still locked to Rogers.

Is there any way to get this functionality on the X10a? I am assuming it is something that Rogers sends to your phone and the phone displays the icon.

Also I have Caller name along with caller Id, but the caller name does not show up?

Lastly is there any setting so that when I connect my usb it automatically mounts the sd card? Right now I have to go in notifications and then tell it to mount.

Thanks guys
[XPERIA X10 General] rynoon:
Hold down 1 on your dialer and make certain that your voicemail is actually set up. The last time I made a change to my plan I had to set up my voicemail again.

The name won't show up unless it's in your contact list.

I'm not sure. Sorry.

Well few days back saw my friend do it on his xperia x2 (which obviously has a tv out feature) but I was wondering if any of you guys can help me do the same on desire using either wifi or thru wire or something. ...

Its possible from a laptop. Desire ---->laptop--->>projector or television. ... point is any way to do it directly or may be thru some media station or anything. ....?

Any help Would be gr8. ..

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doggie123:
If you have a digital TV that understands DLNA, or a set-top-box that will do DLNA with TV-out, then you can use TwonkyServer Mobile on your Desire to stream all sorts of media from the phone to the TV: photos, music, and even video. It may depend on the TV or Box understanding the actual video format and codec being used, but apart from that it should work.

If you don't have such equipment, then I'm afraid there isn't much else you can do.

[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
i have the 002 hardware with the SD card reading issue and the light leakage issue,its rooted and plan to exchange the phone from sprint.will they accept the replacement?
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Revert it to factory before returning. They can tell you you voided the warranty and can't accept the return if they check for the root, plus we don't want HTC seeing rooted phones come back to them.
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
My local sprint store guys told me that the company policy is to void all warranty for *any* modifications of the phone, even something as innocent as the first unrevoked (even though they would look away for something like that, because it's so trivial.)

So, right on the money there.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
Wasn't the SD card reading issue fixed in the first OTA update?

As for the light leak, they're difficult to return for that reason, and you might just get another one with the same problem (I know some that have managed to return it 5+ times without getting a fixed model.)

But yeah, you've gotta revert back to stock to get it replaced.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
thanks.any good source to save all my contacts and apps?
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Your contacts should be synched to your Google account and your paid apps are all saved under the same account as well (Free apps aren't though).
[EVO 4G General] healthpellets:
can't you just pull your APKs from data/app on to your SD card via Root Explorer, then copy them on to your computer to back up?
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Not if his contacts are under phone and not under Google.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
got it done.thank u
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
As the man said, contacts and calendar are synced with a gmail account.

For apps and their settings, use Titanium Backup. It's excellent.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
I did titanium backup but how will it restore all my apps if I get a new evo?
[EVO 4G General] tej5:
swap your SD card
[EVO 4G General] healthpellets:
no. the data is stored on the memory card that you're going to include in your old evo.

just backup the SD card to your computer. then recopy everything on your new evo once it's rooted.

or just pull the APKs and store them on your computer like i suggested earlier.

I ordered an Amzer Micro HDMI cable for my Evo a few days ago, and it works and all, but if the cable wiggles around a little bit, it disconnects and reconnects shortly after. The cable does feel very loose in the port (much looser than the MicroUSB cables feel in the charge connector).

Has anyone else had this problem with their Evo, or has anyone found a solution (like a different brand of HDMI cable that works better)?
[EVO 4G Accessories] PAPutzback:
I ordered the same one last week. No word on when it will ship though. I'll let you know if my cable is loose when I get it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] azary1010:
I am having the same problem with the Amzer HDMI cable. I would have to push the cable downwards in order to get the video to play. If I wiggled it or pushed it up, the picture would be lost. I will replace it once I get fed up with the cable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Zabalba:
I don't know about the amazon cable, but I did order the HDMI cable from the same guy who sold the two batteries and wall charger for 10 bucks on eBay. When I played around with the cable it did feel loose. But when I forced the plug into the phone it went in further and made a solid connection.

Don't know if that will work for you guys too :P
[EVO 4G Accessories] rahb0sse:
I had this issue with my OEM micro-usb. I bought 6 more USB cables ranging from 3ft - 10ft... they work fine now. Check the actual cable to see if the pins move around, that may be the issue... aka poor construction
[EVO 4G Accessories] spy_owl2:
I have exactly the same issue with the cable I got from Monoprice. I couldn't hold the phone and move it around as it would intermittently disconnect. But if I set the phone down the connection stayed throughout.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zone23:
Before you guys get all up in arms I have the "official" HDMI cable from Sprint and it is loose too. Its the socket not the cable. I'm on my second EVO and they were both the same way, loose.

I'm frustrated with the Samsung Galaxy S' calendar. My important appointments make a little low *bip* sound and that's about it. I tried to use Calendar Snooze, but I can't get it to work. Apparently you should be able to select snooze option from the Calendar app but it doesn't work because no such option is available on my phone. Changing the sounds in the phone settings makes no difference. Any ultra mega hacker who knows how to take control over the calendar notifications?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] .:JiM:.:
yes, this is a bug or not but a very tiresome. i need this knowledge too how can i change.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Janis:
Mine uses the default notification sound.

Menu-> Settings -> Sound & Display -> Notification ringtone, pick one.

I take that back. I used Calendar Notifier from Market to solve that specifically without rooting. You could also root and replace the TouchWiz calendar with the Android stock calendar.apk. the instructions, etc are here

nobody can share any insight on this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jblade1000:
since nobody responded to my question, just wanted to update and say that as of now the only work around i've found is to download the attachment(s) while the meeting notice is still an email (i.e. before you accept it so its added to your calendar). If anyone has a suggestion for a better way of handling embedded docs in calendar appointments, i'm all ears. Thanks.

Google Calendar Sync <-> Outlook

Hi, on my business laptop with MS Windows and Outlook 2010 I use a tool named "Google Calendar Sync" to synchronize Outlook calender with my Google calender. Just search on Google for "Getting started with Google Calendar Sync".

Another way to get Outlook stuff synchronized with your Galaxy S is to use your Exchange account. But I don't want to use exchange on my Galaxy S because of battery drain. So this tool is a good compromise ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RP.1971:
Hi, here are my two cents: I'm using Touchdown for syncing my company MS Exchange account. It does download the meeting attachments when viewing mails/meeting notes, so this might help you out.

It is quite expensive (around 14 euro) but it is by far better than the stock exchange app and the support is perfect when mailing them. The other plus is that you can set whether you want to pull or push at certain times.

Having said that there are some downsides as well: the UI is (mildly said) very basic and its calendar looks like the programs from the 80s (but there are a few market calendar apps which one can use to view the meetings list)

Hmm.. I agree that this sounds pretty much like spamming but cross my heart: I'm just a happy Touchdown user (using some other apps as well to make my daily life organized) sharing my experience.

I hope that this answer your help call.

Cheers,

Rocky

^inspired by that HD2 thread... i bought a new trascent microSD class 6 card and copied all my sandisk class 2 card's content over (yes 14GB, basically almost full) and the class 6 just kills the class 2 performance.

i mean... it's not like going to a NEW phone fast, but it's noticeably faster when accessing in terms of loading/saving them! pretty unbelievable!

anyway, just wanted to share it if you guys are still on Hermes like me. besides you can keep carrying it forward to newer devices that support class 6 or 10 microSD cards :D it's pretty good until SDXC becomes cheaper and more common place.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] r34c7:
Yeah, that's quite logical... I mean, the Class 2 performance is equal to 16mbps of transfer speeds (around 2 MB/s) and Class 6 is equal to some 48mbps (6 MB/s). That's three times faster. My microSDHC 8GB is also Class 6. Is it possible to use a Class 10 memory card with Hermes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] JediFonger:
well i dunno how this works really. by its virtue having a SDHC/SD capable standard card readers shouldn't it read ALL the classes and perform to that class?

I just got myself a Class 6 16GB recently; and yes, it's insanely fast. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Hi,

I've noticed that certain apps offer to show text in "night mode", ie white text over black background, instead of the classical black text on white background.

I'm thinking in particular about ebook reader Aldiko or Email app K9-Mail.

Do you think using the night mode is draining less battery than normal mode? Or it doesn't make any difference?

I'm looking for the optimum setting in anticipation of a long air flight...

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
For an AMOLED screen, white on black uses less power. For an LCD, the intensity of the backlight determines the power.

For me, I hate black on white, especially reading books.. I use Endless Reader and it lets me change the fg/bg colors, I actually use a light grey on black since the Nexus One is still a little too bright at night for reading.

As for K9, it has a dark theme, but the emails themselves always seem to be Black on White, http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/issues/detail?id=1674&
[Android Apps and Games] Surfinette:
Sorry for the very noob question: I have a HTC Desire, is it amoled or LCD?

So it's going to be white on black background for me.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spookamiester:
Can anyone tell me how to change the highlight colours on winmo 6.5?

The ones for things like contacts, sms, email, even the load bar etc.

I would have thought there would be a simple application for custom themes but apparently not, Microsoft seem to have moved theirs or taken it down too.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spookamiester:
Semi solution

I found this

UI Tweeker

http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Tweaks/UI-Tweaker-16493.shtml

It claims to work only for winmo 5 but it does work up to 6.5
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Trixster101:
You can use a regedit too to get most colours changed;-

HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\SYSCOLOR is where the main "highlight bar" is held, the horrible green crap..

A lot of the "Today Screen" colours are held here;-

HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\COLOR

39 = Start Menu Text

4 = Today Colour - If you only used the default M$ Today and not TouchFlo.

34 = The Green used in highlights, but the GWE overrides this setting afaik.

I use Win6.1 rather than 6.5 but I'd say the basics stay the same'ish tbh, if your after changing colours while using Manila then you'll need to alter the correct files to change their colour schemes.
[General Questions and Answers] Sampler:
Been a long time HTC user, my first was a Prophet (Orange M600) and loved it before moving up to a Kaiser (O2 XDA Stellar) before getting a Rhodium (Direct HTC Touch Pro2, no airtime mess) and they've all been brilliant.

Now I'm out of contract and not liking the looks of WinMo at the moment, I was perfectly happy with 6.5 but seems like MS have other ideas, so I'm quite tempted to go 'droid and the Desire being the pick of the crop so it seems.

Thing is it's been out a little while and maybe a replacement is due soon? Plus I've kind of got used to the hardware keyboards and going back to onscreen on my Prophet is not fun (or even using the Rhodiums when in it's overboard waterproof pouch when I'm out cycling - in case of rain) so that kind of puts me off.

I've seen some rumours for a HTC Vision but to be honest the design doesn't fill me when awe and the keyboard looks like a step back to the Kaiser days.

So what can people recommend? Will I get over my hardware keyboard addiction with a Desire, will I be best waiting a month or two (pretty hedonistic so probably won't wait more than that) or is there a handset out there that I've overlooked that would be ideal for me?

P.S. - no iPhones, tried a 3G and had a look at a four a guy at work had and simply loathe the things.

I've narrowed my choices down to Desire and HD2.

I'm inclined towards Android because I like the way it looks but I know the HD2 has better specs and stuff. Which is the smarter choice? I don't plan to get another phone for a long time so I want it to last a long time and still be pretty decent when newer phones come out.
[General Questions and Answers] Biffy:
Desire all day, every day. I have both phones. I bought the Desire about 4 days ago and have had the HD2 almost a year. In the first few days of ownership I've realised the Desire is probably the best piece of technology I've ever bought (and I spend a lot on gadgets).

Android is so much more polished, feature-rich and usable compared to Windows Mobile, there is no comparison. I say this not as an Android fanboy, as I'm new to Android and I've always liked WM up till now. But really Android is so much better and I don't think the new Windows Mobile will be able to compete seriously either.
