Autokiller is very good!

Autokiller is very very good! I used to use the advanced task killer and set to auto-kill in crazy mode everytime screen is off. But even then, memory drops very fast to 30+ mb in less than 1 day of usage, with no other processes running. Yesterday I switched to autokiller and memory from morning till now never drops below 110mb! Phone feels and behaves alot snappier!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AG_Uni:
autokiller

first tried different task managers, but it doesn't work as good as the internal one :)
[EVO 4G General] nomoclutch:
I got in on the Swype beta a week or so ago and love the product (although ShapeWriter has some strong points too).

Over the weekend I had to go back to the default keyboard because Swype doesn't seem to play well with my RDP application.

Now I can't turn Swype back on! I went to Settings -> Language & Keyboard and it shows Swype enabled.

The other strange thing is where the default keyboard used to show the little "Cog" button for options, it now shows a microphone. Don't know how else to get back to Swype. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't help. I can't get either of my optional keyboards to work now???
[EVO 4G General] nenn:
you need to long press on an input box, and wait for the popup, then select input method, then swype.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Find and input box(where you can type stuff into), hold your finger down on it until the menu appears, at the bottom will be "Input Method", select that and you will see the options.
[EVO 4G General] nomoclutch:
Duh - thank you guys!!!

too much 4th of July party for me ...
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I thought Swype beta ended.

edit: nvm i think i figured it out, will install it on my replacement Evo when I get home.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
No it's available for everybody now. The beta, that is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
I been waiting forever and not doing any updates due to all the crazy wimax issues. Since the new OTA is rooted would it be safest to update my wimax by running the OTA and re root using the new root method? Please let me know if this isn't the way to go or not. Thanks so much devs for all your hard work. Mod if this is in the wrong section please move.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gx1400:
No, the new root method for the OTA just downgrades everything so you can get access again.

If you haven't done the OTA, I would suggest using the simple root .1 and then flashing something else. The idiot proof guide in the dev subforum is pretty helpful and has a lot of pictures if you prefer that method.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noname4me:
The "How to start over: Fully rooted stock 1.47..." method is very easy and worked great on my phone. As long as you already have root, NAND unlocked, and the Engineering HBOOT, I would go that route. (see thread for the details, Engineering HBOOT 76.2 is the real requirement.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
Yes I have root and nand. Currently running fresh 0.53. I wasn't sure what was the best method of updating the wixmax. Are the current methods out safe yet? Im comfortable in doing the radio. I was just wondering if the OTA updates the wimax differently from just flashing or somehow. Just a little bit worried of running into wimax issues since I do get 4g in my area.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
Ive done some research and looking at tutorials, it looks like i need to install some software onto my PC in order to unlock the boot loader, and it appears that once my bootloader is unlocked i can then root the phone which in turn will let me flash a new rom.

my questions though are what precautions should I take so I do not brick my device?

also, I have never done anything like this before and I do not want to be waiting months for gingerbread so how quickly do developers usually update thier custom roms to use the latest software version of android?

is there a way to go "back to stock" so i can run stock android software even while being rooted?

I'm sure more questions will come up, but these are my main ones that I can think of now

hello. my phone was working great until now. when i touch the Start button it opens the drop down box but when i touch the Settings folder to open it won't. what can i do to fix this ? i tried a soft reset but nothing. WM6.1
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
What if, touch "Start" ==> drop down list, use down curser to highlight "Settings" , press ok (hard) button, does it open the Settings window ?
[Touch 3G General] dread1234:
no. same thing
[Touch 3G General] haree:

goodluck :D
[Touch 3G General] dread1234:
hello. i've thought this but i prefer to avoid hard reset. is this so hard to find a solution about this problem ?

[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Ok great but where are the pictures of the chics? What good is this story without those.. Hehe
[Nexus One General] johnp263:
The N1 really works very well. It is the nature of a forum like this to be a place to solve problems, so it makes sense you read a lot of complaints here.

Thanks for the great story!
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Awesome story..

I think the most amazing part of that story is that the battery made it through that whole ordeal !=-)
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
Hmm, anyone else have inaccurate location readings when using "show on map"? When I try this it shows location as several streets away from the actual location
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
You have the GPS on, or it is forced to use Coarse location (ie: estimation of location based on cell towers)?

Personally no, the pictures I've taken with my N1 have been within 15-20 feet of the actual location, which for a built-in GPS is pretty decent. I have at least once or twice NOT gotten a location.. I think if the GPS isn't primed or such it doesn't wait on it, and you get no geotagging. IMO that's better than what my WM phone did; you had to wait until the GPS was good and ready before you could take any pictures.

Another thing to keep in mind, "Show on Map" to me seems to always snap to the nearest street, but the image is actually geotagged correctly. If you upload it to Flickr or such you can see it. I wonder if there's a way to disable the "snapping" in the maps view.
[Nexus One General] Chahk:
Make sure GPS is turned on. Without it, the phone is relying on cell tower triangulation which is far less accurate. The translucent blue circle on the map is the area where your phone thinks you might be. With cell tower triangulation it can get pretty large, as in 10-15 city blocks. GPS on the other hand narrows it down to several feet.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Nice story... Now show us the pics you took of those chics :-)
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
I agree, pics or it didn't happen bro ;)
[Nexus One General] Zephyron:
Yeah, my GPS is enabled (I dont turn it off)) but it still doesnt show the correct location. The "snapping" of the streets makes sense, but the location it shows on "show on map" from the camera app is maybe 1-2 streets away or .3-.5 miles down the same street. Does taking pictures indoor have an effect on the GPS geotagging?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
My geo tagged photos work just fine, It doesn't snap to the nearest street that I've ever seen. It just puts it right where I took the photo.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Now yall got me curious... I didn't care bout this before, but now I can't get geo tagging to work. Remind me how to activate this again? It always says unknown location on my pics now. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Pics or it didn't happen!

No, just kidding. Awesome story! Makes me love my phone just more

(except that I can't get a data connection with Maps/Navigation nowadays)

Sent from my Antikythera mechanism xda app.
[Nexus One General] clickwir:
I've found that I have to use the GPS in another app (maps, GPS Status, etc) that will take the time to wait for a GPS lock (up to 1 minute usually), THEN go take pictures and it'll hold the GPS lock a lot easier.

If I leave the Camera app to find GPS signal first, I get through about 5-20 pictures before it gets a GPS lock and then starts tagging properly.

I found this out when taking a trip up Trail Ridge Road in Colorado. Some of my pics were just 'pull the phone out and snap one quickly', they don't have good coordinates. Shows me upto a mile or two from where I actually was. Versus, using GPS status to see I'm 10,800feet up, then taking several pictures, they were all very accurate in their GPS coordinates.

PS: awesome story. Maybe google can use this in a commercial or something. It's a perfect example of how it's fun and a tool all in one.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
It does, and it's not the tagging that's wrong, it's GMM. You can even just put the lat,lon and it'll snap.

It might be a "if less than X feet away, snap to an address" sort of algorithm.

Example: Here's a lat/lon at a nearby school (daughter plays here sometimes) which in GMM snaps to the nearest street. But look at it in full Google Maps and you'll see the actual location is some 90 feet north. Just search for this in GMM exactly: 38.061386,-84.445075
[Nexus One General] galaxys:

I believe you (no, really, I do..) but for the good of the community/your credibility could you give us some evidence to underline your undoubted veracity?? - Link to local newspaper/radio station mention, sheriff report, pics of whatever, GPS track over harbour... what-have-you???

Notice the backlight compensation.. if it wouldn't be there, faces would be pitch black..
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Yes, it has a big effect, taking pictures indoors most of the times renders GPS useless, being unable to lock within a reasonable amount of time. When GPS is locked, you see small grey GPS icon on your camera, and if you don't see it when you're shooting a picture - it'll be geotagged with cellular triangulation, meaning - inaccurate.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
I may be going to the Evo, we'll see. Sprint offered me a different model phone finally and I'm going to go for the evo. Third hero from them and their repair/refurb people can't seem to get it right... They said I have to pay sales tax on it though, which I found amazingly strange.

I will never leave the Hero forums, though, that was what got me into Android in the first place and I really wish I could still have a hero...
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
How did you swing that? Im on my 4th defective hero and they told me they will not replace them anymore. That they can only do so many replacements per year. I have insurance too. Oh yeah and if you do get an evo, it will probably ship with the new patch that prevents root. No work around yet either!
[Hero CDMA General] rulyskull:

[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Correct spelling is traitor.

And I was pissed enough to be willing to pay the ETF on this line and close my other brand new line if they didn't take care of the issue by sending me a different model phone due to the circumstances. I'e been with them for a little over 3 years now and always been good with my bills and such so they try to keep me happy, and I really do appreciate that. The guy said I could pick the phone so I checked out online and decided to go with the Evo even though I'll probably never get 4g. It's the only other phone comparable to the Hero and that is made by HTC, since I like the HTC product.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Only thing is, though, is that he said they'd be back in stock in approx 2 weeks... well... I leave for vacation on the 21st and if they're back in in exactly 2 weeks, that puts it at the 20th. Plus 2 days for shipping and I'll have a phone sitting outside my garage for 2 weeks.

Can someone who works for Sprint, like a rep I'd get a hold of if I dialed *2, let me know what the expected arrival date is for more Evo's, please? I really need to stay on top of this so I can get it if they come in earlier. I can't have that phone sitting outside for 2 weeks. I'd owe you one if you could do this for me. PM me or whatever!
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I'm pretty sure that after 3 or 4 replacements, you're allowed to switch the phone out for a new model... At least that's how it was for my sisters blackberry.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
There is no "eta" (sorry) they've been available twice since the first time they sold out for approximately 3 hours both times before they sold out again. I work sprint retention.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Haha this is off-topic, but DirtyShroomz, what would I need to say to Sprint when I call them later today to get a free AirRave? The signal in my house SUCKS, and my battery dies super quickly because of that.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Ask for one, if you're asl you can't get it free
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
asl? and is it true that airave doesn't do 3g data, only 1x?
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Idk what ASL means, but 1x won't matter since I can use WiFi at my house (where the airrave will be).
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
I was asking for my personal curiosity lol.
[Hero CDMA General] pileosnafu:
ASL - Account spending limit --- your bill usually shows if you are part of the program. You also get a $4.99 fee / month on your bill if your not on auto-pay and part of the ASL program.

You also need to be in an area where its avail. -- its not avail everywhere, http://sprint.com/airave click where is it avail. Put your zip in.

Also don't just ask for one. That's rude. Explain that you don't have signal in your house, your diggin your new phones but dropped calls in home are worth the ETFs to you and the high cost if you can't get your signal in your house, and then see if they will help you out.

[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
There is no way in hell you are going to get an evo from sprint and only pay sales tax. If you did you must be sucking someone off because they wanted to ship me another refurb hero, i told them to shove it. i talked to 6 people and spent 3hrs on the phone with them. one guy actually told me he could get me an evo but of course the dipshi* didn't note the account. i hate sprint with a passion. they told me in the end that they are giving evo's out to no one for free, if you want one you have to pay full price or wait until your upgrade and pay the difference. what a bunch of crap!

Oh well in a few months im sure i will be able to pick one up on craiglist for $150 or so.

FYI this would be my 4th replacement hero in 6 months. :mad:
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
I also didn't mean any offense towards the OP but im pissed right now! I even offered to pay the difference on the evo if they would push my upgrade status up.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
bull ****. tell me I must be sucking someone off but you mean no offense? I don't think I like you very much.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
It was a figure of speech man, as i said. By all means share your almighty knowledge on how you got sprint to do this for you!
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
So where is this Evo? It's been a few days now.... I highly doubt you got an Evo free my man.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Sprint.com is out of stock for them. Getting it replaced when they come back in stock, in about 10 days or so.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Whose contacting you when they become available?
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
What are you using to resize? 75% data removed and the archive is still almost as large as the original one.

If you haven't allready, install VirtualBox and a Virtual Ubuntu machine.

Then do this to resize a boot animation (this example is for this one):

mkdir temp

cd temp

unzip ../bootanimation.zip

<modify desc.txt>

cd android

mogrify -resize 240x240 -type palette -quality 100 *

cd ..

cd loop

mogrify -resize 240x240 -type palette -quality 100 *

cd ..

zip -r -0 bootanimation.zip *

And the end result? Se the attached file.

I've tried a couple of windows tools but it was much more complicated and the end results were worse.

Here's another cool thing to do with mogrify.

Resize HVGA (640x480) wallpapers into QVGA ones (480x320)

mogrify -resize 480x360 -crop 480x320+0+20 *
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
