[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virus975:
Hello,

I have internet on my Desktop PC and connect it using the cable to my hd2 through active sync.

so I want to use the HD2 router to connect my laptop to this internet connection. However, when I open the router I cannot rout the active sync. connection but I can only rout the internet from my service provider or 3g which i dont want.

I hope you can help me solve this issue because I really want to use internet on my laptop using my Desktop PC connection through my HD2.

So you want your internet connection through usb
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
I dont believe the wifi router software is capable of routing wifi connections to the usb connection. Only to teh mobile data connection. Perhaps there is other hotspot software that can do this, but the built in one wont. (unless i'm dead wrong, but fairly sure not)

Hey there,

I wanted to try the Sign Lite app, but I noticed that none of my contacts are listed in there. I had the problem with another app, and I initially thought it was a bug with the 3rd party program. However, it appears that my contacts cannot be viewed in programs such as Sign Lite. I have all my contacts on "Phone". Do you have any idea how I can make them visible?

Cheers!

Note: I added a test number. I created the account under "Google", and it is visible in the app. Is there a way to sync my existing contacts there?

p.p. Nevermind. I exported my contacts through "People" and then imported them to Google. After I synced everything is working as expected.

Hi! I have a little problem with HTCSense-based ROMS.

When I get a SMS message and I istantly reply, my reply is put *behind* the message i want to reply. Is there a way to fix that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I RICHY I:
My stock rom does this. If you look at the times you'll notice if your message goes 'behind' the original message, it's because the other person's clock is different to yours (normally faster).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Yeah the bloke above is right, its cuz the timestamp on the incomming sms is off by some seconds, its there clock nt ur fone :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroy:
or your clock on your phone is fast
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Settembre Nero:
But on ROMS without sense, the messages don't have this bug. I think that is a prerogative of Sense ROMS..

Hi all, I'm new to this. I just got a T-mobile G1. Can I install themes via the sdcard as my pc wont reconize the phone.

Thanks
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Ace42:
Yeah thats how you flash them, be sure to checkout the 2 themes in my sig when you get a chance;)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] joe.kerwin:
Are you rooted?
[Desire General] patp:
As title... once the official upgrade comes out will we still be able to root?

[Desire General] gatsu_1981:
Ask nostradamus.
[Desire General] Giland:
I guess it will only be needed if the Official Rom comes with a new bootloader.

But even then i guess they can manage to repack it so that the bootloader don't get updated.
[Desire General] fluidz:
I've just rooted my Htc desire, following these steps -http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/

And following that, I installed apps2sd, which went well.. Created the partitions ect..

Then I tried to update the phone ota, as it was suggested by the phone. I downloaded the update on the phone, it all went to plan until the phone restarted, and the loading bar appeared (to install the update). The progress got to about 20% then a Red question mark over a black box, mark appeared, and the phone rebooted..

So I tried removing the partitions, by setting all to 0mb, except fat32, which I left to occupy all the space. Then tried the Ota update again, still the same..

Any advise would go greatly appreciated.

The update i'm trying to install is - OTA_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2-1.15.405.4
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
IIRC you can't flash OTA's from a rooted ROM. (And if you could, you would lose root)

If you want this ROM, flash the modified stock ROM with added superuser privileges.
[Desire General] fluidz:
Not really looking to use this rom in particular.. Will jump to Froyo thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saldawop:
Does using the AC charger charge the phone any quicker than using the USB charger?

I know I could try it, but Im trying to open as little of the packaging as possible in case I send the phone back.

I cant believe it takes SO long to charge and yet so little time to discharge :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saldawop:
Should the phone be switched off when charging? It seems that if it is on, it drains the battery quicker than it charges??

Mine has been on charge since just after 9am and it is at 76%! I got to go to work in an hour:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] saldawop:
91 minutes ago I took the galaxy off charge . Dow

n to 81% battery. 30 minutes of that was travelling on my bike.

Ill be generous and say I spent 10 minutes browsing. That is some terrible battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:
using AC adapter / mains power is always going to be faster than charging via usb because usb can only draw a certain amount of power... and no it does not matter if it is on or off when charging .. when battery is full it stops charging...

next... the battery life is fine. I get two days use with have HSPDA / wifi on 24/7 .. I listen to music for about 2 hours a day... email is getting pusher over as soon as possible...

Use advanced task killer.... and other memory 'cleaners' ...

and turn auto brightness off and set it to minimum when you can

[Desire General] canonyau:
Use eBay to unlock your desire. The unlockers on there get about 99.8% positive feedback and your money will be protected. Plus it's cheaper than anywhere else. Why pay more?
[Desire General] mercianary:
i dont like any of these unlock sites, i would rather go to some guy in a dodgy phone shop.

if you read the terms and conditions on these sites, what is says is quite shocking.

in a nutshell you are buying a code, not a service to unlock your phone. so if the code doesn't unlock your phone, you just payed for a random number, literally.
[Desire General] harolds:
Paypal is the expert on providing reasons to now help you, I have been on both ends (seller & buyer) and Paypal gave some reason in all cases not to help.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I've used HTCCODE.COM in the past and although communication hasn't been great, they've always come through eventually.

PM ferraripassion on these forums, as he is part of HTCCODE.COM and I'm sure he'll either give you your code or refund your money.

Dave
[Desire General] speedking34:
You're quiet unlucky, as I did file a paypal dispute and won, got the whole of my money back and crossed the website of my agenda.
[Desire General] oursoul:
They didn't give your code cos they are all off their faces on your hard earnt moneez.

Selling a number is a scam in the first place IMO ;)
[Desire General] matthewb66:
I purchased the unlock using a credit card, and couldn't get the htccode unlock application to connect. I used the live support link on the website and an engineer took my IMEI number, and 10 minutes later I received my code via email which worked perfectly.

This is the second time I have used them successfully for different devices, and although I understand your frustration at not getting your code, you do not explain what went wrong in the first place to cause you to want to get a refund.

Categizoring a service as a scam due to a single failure does not seem representative to me; perhaps you can clarify what went wrong in the first place, and how you have tried to contact them as they were very responsive in my case, and anxious to receive good feedback.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
did you not read his post?

he clarified what went wrong, and that is that HE NEVER GOT THE UNLOCK CODE

he also says that he e-mailed them numerous times with no response
[Desire General] trucker11:
code from ebay

I used express-codes from ebay paid 8.99 £ got the code 5 minutes later

would use again
[Desire General] iouk:
They're actually charging £17.99 for the Desire.

EDIT: Sorry, they have multiple auctions for the same device all at different prices. How bizarre.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Hmm can anyone recommend any good sites then? I've heard Unlock Zone is a good safe site with very good feedback. Any other good and trusted sites to unlock?
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
I'm gonna say you were just unlucky/something went wrong. Paul O'Brien (who laid a fair share of the groundwork for rooting Desires) supports that site, as it's a sticky topic on his forum, and I trust that guy.

2ºCan I unlock HTC ate home? or need technical support?( if you cannot awnser this kind of questions, i´m sorry).

3ºWhat applications and updates you think i need to install to have a good performance?

[Android Software Development] MiniDolan:
Heyy basically I have a great idea for an app but I have no experience with Java or developing at all. I was wondering if anyone would actually make me an app. I dunno how payment would work. But we'll figure something out. Just PM me if you're interested.

Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] gangsterholla179:
Can we get a little bit more details..

Makes working easier :-)
[Android Software Development] MiniDolan:
Well, it's called Tekker (probably) and it gets RSS feeds from all popular technology sites like engadget, gizmodo and techcrunch. I just thought that for some people it would be easier to just tick a box to get feeds rather than have to manually configure it.
[Android Software Development] gangsterholla179:
So you basic want an app that has the rss channels pre config for just tech based pages?
[Android Software Development] MiniDolan:
Yeah basically, but it would be good for it to have a search function to find specific feed items, a nice ui, a page where you can config which of the tech feeds you want to display and the option to add custom feeds. Android users are geeks :P so it makes sense.
[Android Software Development] gangsterholla179:
I might help get this started, but no promises. I'm currently trying to get into my business school, so I'm very busy

Well, I don’t know where to start, ok here I go, WHAT A PILE OF CRAP, I went from the brilliant HTC Desire to this crap, I was quite excited about the Samsung galaxy s, but I was shocked at the level of LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG, even to just make a standard call, I am waiting for a while for the Samsung to process the instruction, at times I have felt like throwing the fone out of the window, it is really bad, hopefully the update to froyo 2.2 will eliminate the LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG problem, or what I would advise is if possible install the Nexus1 version of Android 2.1, and forget about Samsung own crap software. HTC Desire here I Come.

This is a honest review from a very frustrated Samsung galaxy s owner, if I have upset anyone with my review, please accept my apologies, as that is not my intention

Thank you

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
I'll let you take a guess.

And i think we're getting trolled here, although some apps lag a bit when you open them, i NEVER had this problem with the dialer.

It always zooms right up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adriaaaaan:
Very troll like, theres 0 lag on my device, everything opens pretty much instantly.

Have you installed a task killer? I recommend doing so and getting into the habbit of running it every now and again if it slows.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KhaaL:
to be honest, i've had the phone for about 2 weeks and i went from a old galaxy (i7500) which is the true king of lag. I notice slight lag on the galaxy S which increase over time, after being on for 3-4 days interface starts crawling almost to the same lever of i7500.

I dont know if the cause to the lag is an general android issue or if its samsungs incompetence...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thatg:
2 things, go into settings and get rid of the animations and download launcher pro, this IS the best phone ive ever owned. incredibly light, comfortable to hold. just wish the camera was better/had flash and the screen had a higher resolution like the iphone. other than that i cant see how they would make a phone any better
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
Hehehe, cracked me up :D

I think it's Samsung's incompetence, had similar issues on my Omnia II.

I wonder if Nexus one / HTC users had the same lag issues and whatnot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TexUs:
Isn't it admitting defeat to the iPhone when you've got to turn off animations just to get the device to function properly?

I hate my iPhone and want to get the Captivate but stuff like this worries me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thatg:
not gonna lie, theyre both awesome phones, i just wanted the bigger screen, but honestly the camera on the iphone blows every other phones' out of the water. they just have the best sensor, which i dont get cause i thought they bought most their parts from samsung(why samsung started making their own phones) Samsung the new leader in android phones. HTC just doesnt have the production power
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Do you have some evidence of this? The results I've gotten from the Samsung camera have been better than I expected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TexUs:
I know without a doubt the 5MP camera on the iPhone 4 looks better than the 8MP camera on the Evo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bookwormat:
ok, but the 8MP camera on the Evo is not the 5MP camera on the SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chriswren:
the orinal poster may be an idiot but I understnad where he comes from........ I am frustrated with the Samsung speed and see enough posts about the lag problem to know that it isn't just me.

I am also a blackberry user (9700) and that is much faster going from screen to screen and for Email, RSS, Twitter and Facebook.

OK the experiance is a little dull and not fro graphical but is usable.

Using somthing like Newsrob for RSS is unbearable (even with downloaded articals, the HTML rendering is to slow) or when using the standard mail client and moving from one mail to another.

The exchange sync is also flaky with the calendar sync breaking, resulting in the config having to be removed and re-added. Push mail doesn't seem to be push mail and tacks an age to come through when compared to the Blackberry.

It might be one of the best Android phones out there but it still needs a lot of work to be my main phone and not just a toy that I fiddle with on the train to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KhaaL:
I don't have much hope for samsung in Galaxy S either tbh, the hardware is good but i rely on the community on the software side of the phone.

And really, i dropped count of how many times i've was going to throw my i7500 into the wall, but stopped myself since i didnt want to pay for damages on the wall :-/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maxdcy:
"LAAAAAAG" was never a big issue with this phone... compared to hd2 blackstone iphone and alot other smartphones i used to have over the years... after all u will have some if u decide to pick a smartphone .....

if u have lots of of it something is wrong ..

u can try using "advance task killer" and "minfreemanager" from market (free software)

this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723002 also gives a good solution if u like to mess up with the phone a bit more

my galaxy right now outperforms like any other smartphone out there :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
The op's post kind of rings true about how I started to feel but that was until I flashed to jg 1 (which itself was an improvement) but then put the modaco rom on it and autokiller from the market and now it performs superb and am happy with it. By all accounts, korea are sure to get froyo in august too so I can't help but think the rest of the world won't be too far behind, and even then if froyo is on a korean phone then I dare say there will be a rom floating around that's based on froyo in the not too distant future; while I look forward to see froyo on this phone, the way it performs now for me is excellent.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammy555:
I will say although I have practicly zero lag now,I did have to flash to jg1 and custom modoco rom to get there.Initially out of the box there was quite some lag(although not as much as the op is suggesting). I also use taskkiller which is the same as minfreemanager but applies at boot.With this combination the phone is lightning fast but i can understand people not wanting to flash,root etc.Out the box there are probably better phones but put the work in and galaxy s is second to none.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chriswren:
I've done what I can with out rooting the phone, use Launch Pro, Startup Audit and Advanced Task Killer with some effect but not good enough and is poor when compared to the Blackberry or even my HTC Snap or E71.

I know the UX is not as interesting at the Galaxy but above all else it has to be usable and fast.

I've even had poor responce when answering calls and even though I have been pressing the answer button, the phone has not responded and call ended up going to vm.

I suppose that at somepoint when I have time, I will root the phone and install a modded rom but using modded roms should be about additional functionality, not about getting the phone to be acceptable.

I've just been trying to type a URL on the Galaxy while writting this and there is significant lag while typing, I can be several charatures in from of what is being displayed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sammy555:
Just flashing firmware to jg1 makes it a hell of a lot better.Although jg3 will be better as the bugs were ironed out i belive
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hydralisk:
This makes me no longer excited about the galaxy? Why does it "LAAAAG" so much? It should have a very fast processor and only a 4" screen compared to the EVO's 4.3" screen. Although I do have issues with speed on my EVO... I think it's to be expected. It has a slower processor and a larger screen (more pixels to push around). Also, HTC Sense slows everything down.

I've never held a Samsung phone in my life... and I will definitely need to play with it before I actually buy it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Chriswen, try just rooting the phone and installing Autokiller, it's really the best solution if you don't want to flash your phone. Autokiller in my experience does a better job than task managers, you don't have to do anything once it's installed and you have chosen a profile.

Rooting is simple: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7166984&postcount=19
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigsro:
Come on guys what did you expect from Samsung? I had the Omnia HD when it came out and that ran like a one legged duck. The amount of issues with the software and performance crippled the excellent HW. Sporadic software updates (Italy first then Belgium 2 months later etc) really killed that phone.

Samsung can not afford to rely on the developer communities for improvements and neither should consumers.

Im tempted by the sheer power of the Galaxy but Im going to wait a bit longer until it software is running as fast as it should be!

All hail the dev community!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spenceee:
I just don't understand these issues with Lag? My phone is incredible, when it rings it works every time, answering is fine, touchwiz is fine and my apps are fine? The USB sync sucks but other than that it works fine? Is there something special about my phone that it works properly or something?
