[Nexus One General] AverageCanadian:
Are you charging via computer usb? If so, that is likely your issue. It is a slow charge and cannot keep up.

correct
[Nexus One General] artesea:
The online problem with listening to audio via flash is:

you can't turn the screen off

you must have the web window always in focus

so it can become a large battery drain, compared to an app which would run in the background.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
Ding! I'm hoping someone will eventually implement a workaround because there are many WMA streams I'd like to access online. Streaming audio apps don't work because none of them have apparently licensed the WMA codec.
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
I've been watching World Cup games on my phone using the flash video player on http://www.cbc.ca/sports/ here in Canada. It plays full screen and works amazingly well, even over 3G! I'm now a flash believer.
[Nexus One General] Seraph321:
I like having the flash plugin for certain situations, but it's bugging me that probably 9/10 times I want to see some flash content it's actually a youtube video that plays much better using the youtube app or m.youtube.com. But embedded videos still require me to load the plugin then click on them twice to get to the page (assuming you have plugins set to 'on demand').

Is there any chance of someone creating a way to filter those embedded videos? Will youtube figure it out at some point and just serve up the mobile html5 version? Given that it's all google, I'd hope they could do that.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I agree 100%. There is SO much content that I didn't have access to on my Nexus that thanks to Flash, I now have.

Just for instance there is a Dallas Cowboys Radio Talk Blog that I had to get to a computer if I wanted to listen live, since it uses a Flash player. Now, I can listen ANYWHERE.... LIVE!

I use Flash as "always on", and I love it.

Battery drain? Who cares. It's like complaining that driving a car uses gas.

Flash has changed my entire mobile experience for the better.

Thank you Google, and thank you Adobe!!!!
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
The best Flash does for me, is using maps in sites (which are completely inaccessible without it, being all Flash-based), and being able to preview music online before buying it on sites that don't have mobile apps made for them. Actually, it does tons more, including navigation in flash-heavy service sites etc, but there are really too many things to mention.
[Nexus One General] Seraph321:
maps are flash based? Which ones? Google maps has been ajax/html from the beginning.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
Just to clarify, are you saying that you can listen to this flash radio stream even with the screen off?
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
No, the screen dims but does not fully shut off when listening to the stream.

Here is the site:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dcfanaticradio

If you have a Nexus you can try it for yourself. :)

Be aware tho that this is the slow time of year. After a big game I can promise that this kind of content is just fantastic while mobile. I used to have to be at a computer for this.

If you are worried about burn in from the screen being on just scroll down the page and fill the screen with a white background, and then the screen will dim significantly and you are good.

EDIT: you actually make a good point tho: we need to be able to put the screen to sleep when streaming .
[EVO 4G General] Danny DiMarzio:
This is an easy way to tell if you have an Epson or Nova...

Use the Power Control Widget to switch your brightness, if it changes brightness instantly without fading then you should have a Epson display. If it changes brightness by fading in and out then you should have a Nova display.

Sorry if this has already been noted. :)

Thanks for all the great support you guys keep it up.
[EVO 4G General] murdockq:
Confirmed with my Nova display showing the fading.
[EVO 4G General] Quick2822:
Same here. I have 003 with a Novatec -- verified both by dmesg and the tip the OP provided.
[EVO 4G General] mntbkr:
so based on what you are telling me, I should have an Epson display since mine dims instantly. I have 003 hardware.
[EVO 4G General] jm5503:
So which one has the 30fps limitation???

@!! h@i! k!ng Evo!!!!
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
Both. The limit is in the code of Evo.
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
Assuming the same for Settings>Sounds&display>Brightness ?? Mine fades and I am hardware 003. Hmmm
[EVO 4G General] fireburster:
003 hardware, epson. Mine changes brightness right away.
[EVO 4G General] supdawg:
03 nova.
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
I'm on 003 with nova. Should I be sad?

Sent from my EVO from the Apple Store.
[EVO 4G General] csmall:
Mine fades so I must have a Nova? Is one better than the other (Nova/Epson)?

My hardware is 0002
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Personal preference pretty much, Nova is brighter with more vivid colors and no screen tearing with the fps cap lifted and Epson is more accurate colors but less bright and less vivid as well as screen tearing with the FPS cap lifted.

If your a stickler for color accuracy then your better of with Epson otherwise Nova seems like the better screen to me.
[EVO 4G General] netarchy:
It is worth noting that neither fps fix is perfect, both screens can experience tearing and at current more details are known about the nova vs the epson, possibly lending itself better to having a more thorough fix sooner.

As far as apperances go, it's largely personal preference. Personally I've seen how bright the epson can get (given that my phone has an epson), and it can get quite a bit brighter than I'd comfortably set for myself in actual use.
[EVO 4G General] convexmacrolabs:
Although the Epson has more issues with tearing, it also gets about 10 more FPS with the most up-to-date versions of the kernel than the Nova.

Of course, that may all change as the FPS fixes become more robust.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
The Epson takes longer to initialize as well. If you turn on your phone and it has a backlit dim scree for a second it is an Epson. It does the same thing when it is turning off. My Nova didn't do this.
[Android Software Development] NoSenseWorrying:
Hi,

I've developed the app Group to Voicemail for Android and have come across an interesting issue that only occurs on HTC phones (from what I've heard):

When I programatically send a Contact to voicemail (using the SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL field for ContactsContract.Contacts), it works as expected. However, when I set that field back to '0' (to not send that Contact to voicemail anymore) the check box is unchecked for that Contact in the UI, but calls that come in still go to voicemail. The only way to actually put the change into effect is to reboot the phone (obviously not an acceptable solution for users)

Anyway, I've only seen this happen, and had reports from users that have HTC phones (Incredible and Evo). It works fine on the Motorola Droid as far as I can tell.

Based on some other tests, it seems to be directly related to SenseUI, and not the hardware itself. So, that begs that question, is there some other step that's required on the HTC phones but not the others? Or, is it required on both and I can just get away with not doing it on the Motorola phones, etc?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

I have just connected a new bluetooth dongle to my windows 7 notebook, now it is telling me I need a driver for my "bluetooth device" assuming this is the phone they are talking about, can anyone tell me where I can get a driver for the palm treo pro for windows 7, thanks in advance for any help....driving me crazy trying to get the phone to connect to pc via bluetooth

thanks again.
[Palm Treo Pro] voncrane:
Did u try installing while connected to the internet? cuz You don't need to go searching for a driver as windows 7 comes with a pretty nice feature that helps by auto-connecting to windows update, fetches and installs d driver for you...

P.S...i'm running windows 7 ultimate 32-bit and i use a bluetooth dongle myself (Active sync/Data transfer works perfectly)

[Desire General] jacdoy101:
Hi,

Due to be getting a locked branded HTC desire on Orange tomorrow. Wasn't planning to do anything but after what I have heard I will be de branding it as soon as I can. I have read a couple of guides. Could someone please make it as simple as possible for me?

I am going to be making a gold card (I think) and then putting a ROM on it? I think I will be able to do that and also do the updating with the gold card in and stuff. Can someone tell me what is the ROM? And when android 2.2 is released how do I update that? Is it a lot simpler or even more confusing than updating a ROM, also how do I find the latest ROM update?

Also how simple is it to unlock the sim and how do I do it?

Thanks in advance for your answers, any additional info would also be great.
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
Could someone tell me what one would need to take from a CDMA ROM and replace in a GSM ROM and then rebuild a ROM that would boot on a CDMA device. Is taking CDMA OEMDrivers and using it in place of OEMDrivers from a dumped GSM ROM sufficient to rebuild the 'GSM' ROM that will boot on a CDMA device? The ROMs would be for same model of phone.

I've been meaning to just test this out, but have not found the time yet...so I was hoping someone already knew the answer :). Thanks.

EDIT - well, it's not as simple as switching OEMDrivers from my quick test :). If anyone has any other ideas...
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
I have been wondering about this as well.

So you did swap GSM OEM and it doesnt boot on a CDMA device?
[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
Of course not only OEMDrivers... You need to swap OEMXIPKernel as well. Then you will get a (at least) bootable ROM. But I don't think it's a good idea to build a CDMA ROM based on a GSM ROM, it would be too buggy(or unnecessarily stuffed).
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
Sorry, I thought OEMXIPKernel was obvious and forgot to mention it :O. I am just trying to get oskitchen to setup and dumping any cdma ROM for my device (cdma diamond aka victor) just puts everything in OEMApps, OEMLang, etc. I probably deleted/did not include something else to cause it to not boot since you said it should boot :). Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
Well... It's quite complicated... Because in the past days HTC put all things in OEM*** folders. I once thought you are putting a new CDMA ROM(like RhodiumW) OEMDrivers into a GSM ROM. In case old CDMA ROMs' structure is totally different from new ROMs, there is a possibility that it won't boot.

But it may be some small things you overlooked. Did you RecMod NTFConfig.dll? Did you remove OEMDriversHigh from the GSM ROM? Did you include all the GSM ROM OEM*** folders except the OEMDrivers from CDMA ROM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvius:
Not sure how many of us here drive an Audi, but figured I'd give this forum a shot. I posted this question in the car forums, but apparently no one uses Android over there, let alone an Evo. I'm not quite sure if this is a phone specific problem or an Android problem.

So Audi's 3G Multimedia Interface (MMI), uses bluetooth to connect/sync my phone contacts from my phone and displays them on my car's Nav screen. From there I can select names, make calls, etc.

The problem is, I believe that the car is pulling "All Contacts" instead of just "My contacts" from Google. This makes it extremely cumbersome as I have an extra 100 contacts to sift through while I'm driving.

However, my phone itself is setup correctly, as I selected "Only contacts with phone numbers".

I realize Audi's management of phone sync may be different from other car makers, but it may also be the similar. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysterioustko:
I'm not sure that there's anything you can do. Mine syncs the entire phonebook also (Audi A4). Sorry to break the bad news.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvius:
Yea, that's a bit disheartening. Thanks for the reply though, good to know. Who could we contact to try and get this changed? HTC? Google?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twmatteo:
I am working on the same issue - temp solution - download just the contacts you want into a vcard format, then put them on an SD card and sync. It is much cleaner, but only allows 100 contacts. It worked better for me with addresses also for the nav.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robhep3:
I work for a competing automaker as a dealership technician. We run into this problem and many others with our wireless to vehicle integration system. The best workaround for your particular problem would be to swap your contact lists. Backup all of your contacts to Google. Then delete all of the contacts you don't want sent to the car. Then redownload your phone book to the car. Next, restore your contact list from Google. And finally, reupload only the contacts you want Google to store to the Google cloud.

I know its a lot of steps, but it should provide you with the solution you require. One other thing to keep in mind, if you have an automated phonebook download option in your vehicles interface, it should be deactivated. If it isn't, there's the distinct possibility that the next automatic update will pull all the contacts you just eliminated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treasureking:
Same issue, using SD instead

I don't know if you found a solution. I am facing the exact same issue on Audi MMI with Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I have been searching up and down and found no clean solution. I am using the SD import workaround. I re-paired my phone and denied the phonebook access so MMI can't download from my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TH3 ST1G:
I've got a 2012 S4 and just bought the Galaxy S4 (my first android phone, switched from iphone5) and i had the exact same problem. i spent the first two days of ownership of the GS4 googling my heart out trying to figure out WTF.

I have found a permanent solution that works for me but, may not work for you all. reason i say that is, if you rely on google or other accounts to manage your contacts, this will not work for you. the problem is gmail/google, by default any and all emails you send/receive are stored as "contacts" in google. regardless of what settings you have on your phone, when you sync your contacts with audi MMI, it pulls all contacts from both phone and google (possibly other email accounts you have syncing to your phone).

what i did was...

1) go into my google accounts (i have two) and went into the settings and told google that i would "manually add" contacts.

2) i then deleted all contacts from all my google accounts.

3) then i turned contact sync "on" on the phone and synced the phone with google.

4) turned contact sync back off.

the following is within the audi MMI... (the audi MMI does NOT store the contacts synced with your phone, it refreshes the contact list every time it connects to the phone, this is why you cannot access the list immediately after ignition is on).

1) unpaired the phone from MMI.

2) deleted all profiles within the NAME/DIRECTORY menu in MMI (if you get to a point where it asks you for your ID PIN (something along those lines), you will need to enter the last 7 digits of your VIN number.

3) i then repaired the phone, and when the prompt on the phone popped up asking for permission to access contacts, clicked yes and selected to not be prompted again.

after it redownloaded the directory from the phone, only contacts i add to the phone showed up.

WARNING, by deleting the profiles, you will also delete any manually added addresses/locations stored from the MMI as well, i personally can live with this.

Thanks...:o
[HD2 General] adrian.shepard:
Hello everyone, I have been a fairly long time xda member (a little over a year), starting with the Touch Pro. I remember a time when new ROMs for the TP would be released almost daily. Since the release of WVGA phones, VGA devices such as the TP have lost a lot of the attention that they used to have. Now a days, if you want steady ROM releases, you have to have a WVGA device. In addition, Sense modifications are being made that take advantage of more powerful processors, such as the one on the HD2.

I have been thinking about purchasing an HD2 for the last few months, but lately I haven't been so sure. It seems like Windows mobile 6.5 is a dying OS. More and more devices are starting to run the Android OS and the new Windows Phone 7 seems to be stealing the spotlight away from WM6.5. I am worried that HTC and other companies aren't going to make handsets that run WM6.5 anymore, and focus their efforts on Android and Windows Phone 7. Is the HTC HD2 the last Windows Mobile 6.5 phone that will be manufactured? Will Microsoft and HTC slow down or stop their efforts to release new builds and software for WM6.5?

I guess my real question is, would it be worth it to make the upgrade to the HD2, or should I wait and see how Windows Phone 7 turns out? Or, should I jump ship on Windows Mobile all together and get an Android phone? I have played with Android, and I like Windows Mobile a lot more.

The future looks grim in my eyes for WM6.5
[HD2 General] watcher64:
yes this has been talked about a lot, the HD2 may be the last of the 6.5 phones, but I , myself, am not worried..

As long as XDA is around then we will have support for these phones, as well, as I am sure, a "non-official" version of WP7 for it ...

MS is going in a diff direction but as of June they were still releasing new builds of both 6.5 and 6.5.x , so MS has not dumped it yet ..
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
To hear some of the upper-ups at TMO tell me, as we have a corporate account with 20 HD2's, 6.5 is going to stick around, as more of an "enterprise OS", whereas WinPho7 will be the consumer push.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
NO freaking clue how but its there about a 1/4 of a inch to the left of center. think its worth raising hell at BB for a replacement
[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:
You could, but do you want to be that person that complains about a scratch on their unprotected phone? Unless you had it in some kind of a case of course
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
I have read about other people also having scratches but it not affecting the pictures/videos being taken. Do you also get similar results?
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Why would you raise hell at Best Buy to get a replacement due to damage that you caused? Even if you didn't directly cause it, scratches are normal wear and tear, and are not covered under warranty.

That being said, I ran over my EVO with my car, smashed it to bits, thinking about going to my Sprint Corporate rep and raising hell for a replacement. LOL, I kid... I kid!:cool:

[EVO 4G General] dhanch:
The lens on mine somehow cracked in the first week and I had no idea how it happened. I was able to get a replacement directly from htc.
[EVO 4G General] nenn:
unless you see it when youre taking a picture, it shouldnt affect it. the lens is too close to the glass to have it show up, unless it refracts light into the lens.

the lens cant focus for that short of a distance.

if you can get it replaced, do it, but i dont think it should be too serious.
[EVO 4G General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i would try and get a replacement...
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
Mine has a tiny scratch too. When I bought a case I made sure to get one that would keep the lens off the table when I lay it down.

The good news is it shouldn't be an issue for your pictures. I'm a photography nerd and there are is a fair bit of information on the web supporting this if you care to look it up, but it would take a very significant scratch to cause any change to your pictures.

There are some variables that determine if something will show up or not, but I have seen an extreme example of someone rubber banding a pencil across the front of an SLR camera lens, and you could still see the entire image, it was just a little darker. Light bends.
