I've since moved to Feedr as it compresses RSS and uses much less battery & date. Handcent seems to be the best SMS software out there because of the popup that you can reply in without having to launch the app and the customisation options.

For keyboards, the samsung keyboard is flawed because the suggestion bar pops up and down as you type. This means when you hit space, the whole screen above you moves down when the bar disappears and as soon as you type again it pops up. This is really annoying to look at when your textbox is jumping around.

As for cursor keys. You can use swype for this. Help files have detailed info.

The HTC Evo keyboard has cursor keys, but settings cause force close, so I stick with HTC_IME for the time being.

Also... I've got DiallerOne as an alternative to the normal phone app. I think I actually prefer the normal one though. Looks better and DiallerOne doesn't seem to offer much in the way of additional functionality.

I picked up Smooth Calendar for free after seeing it recommended. Seems pretty good, so, check it out if you want to see if it's maybe better...I shouldn't go in depth on it as I won't have a good basis to judge it from.

Regarding RSS, I prefer using the browser and Google Reader. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjRubenstein:
I was using Google Nav on a roadtrip last week and I tried making a phone call. Now once the phone downloads all the maps over the data connection (which it already had), there's no reason you can't run GPS and voice at the same time. I do it on my wife's Motorola Droid all the time and never have an issue.

What happened with the EVO was strange. I understand that if voice and data try working at the same time it will cause an error and they won't work, but in this particular case, my phone rebooted itself.

I thought it was a one time thing, so I tried it a bunch more times and found that each time, it rebooted. Sometimes it took a minute, sometimes a few, but it always happened.

I am running stock 1.32.651.6 (not updating/flashing till CM6 comes out) with unrevoked (so I can use wireless tether).

Can anyone else test to see if they encounter the same problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theghostinmachine:
I've had VZW Moto Droid and I now have the Sprint EVO and I can talk while the Google navigation is going. I know its still on because the NAV lady blast her voice while I'm talking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PLESTIUC:
not that you mention it, I remember this happened to me once couple of days ago. I was like WTH? my EVO never rebooted itself, that was the first time

since then I do not think I used the GPS while on a call so I will try it again and see what happens
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i have not had this issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmike:
I've had this issue twice, only two times the phone has ever rebooted on me.

Both times I had pandora (or last.fm) playing in the background, navigation actively running, and then the phone would ring.. within the first 30 seconds of trying to take the call the phone rebooted itself
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarcopo:
Yes Evo + GPS + Phone call + Unrevoked = REBOOT !

I have consistently experienced this problem and think UNREVOKED is possibly the culprit. I will attempt to UN-unrevoke my phone and see if GPS + Phonecall = Reboot or if it's only with UNREVOKED installed. I have experienced this reboot on at least 5 occassions while incall and driving.
[Windows Mobile] pupakota:
Weird problem with 23668, no fix for now:

Regardless of used office oem launching word ends like that.

Other programs from office works fine.

Any idea wtf?

Also, i have messed up notification bubbles(white rectangle with nothing inside, OR in some cases just nothing but taskbar(x) is visible, zero bubble at all), can someone tell me what's missing, seems unrelated to used theme, missing MUI?
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
pupakota, concerning Office - do you get your screen-shot message when open New, or opening existing file?

Is blank_0409 file is available in rom?
[Windows Mobile] pupakota:
Problem persists in both cases. Word is just unable to launch(and it's closing after tapping error msg).

Whatever i do to make word open is resulting in that screen(from lnk, or by filetype, nvmd):

http://i48.tinypic.com/28k4o40.png

blank_0409?

Do you mean blank.dot or sth like that? Whole office pack was ok, that's the problem.

Like i said, interesting, than NONE of office packs i was testing with that build is able to make Word working.

And always Word is only thing is not working from any Office pack tested.

Weird.

Maybe i will wait for next 2366x...there's someting i am missin here, i suppose(word 'n bubble res).
[Windows Mobile] fubo73:
Using Office from 23569, no issue at all with lang 0410 and 23668.
[Windows Mobile] AndrewSh:
C'mon... The only difference in all the possible Offices from any build is office.dll with the build number inside. So it does not matter which office to use!
[Windows Mobile] fubo73:
Exactly. This is why I can't understand why pupakota is having issues.
[Windows Mobile] sardroid:
I have this same issue with 23569,21664 and 23670 builds:/any solutions?
[Windows Mobile] mua30:
Sardor,

1- Check resources directory (dpi 96, 192,...)

2- check language files directory (409,...)

3- check sys components inclusions.

thx
[Windows Mobile] alesscam:
@Sardor

check your sys and look if you have "webview" pack ;)
[Windows Mobile] pupakota:
I found one:

Went back to 21057 :D

What a experience, RELIEF. As it's said in System Shock 2: "Fast, sleek, revolutionary".

TBH, i wonder what we are missing in our builds, and why noone else see that issue.

Same for notification/bubble problem.

I made file to file, every thing check/contents comparison(with SEVERAL builds) and couldnt solve probs.

File/module contents seem to be identical with 100% working builds.

Couldn't find anything missing.

My suspicion is: bad module processing while building(sounds mad as office FILES are files, but..chain of dependencies is clearly broken somewhere). IF not, i may consider xip/metadata bad mix problem.

Regardless of reasons, i give up trying 6.5's with my 4 y.o. qvga device.

QVGA is not able to make 6.5.x's gui-fail tolerable, imo.

So, f 6.5.x. xscale cpu + 6.1 'n freeware soft is all i need.

Although - i must admit - 23688 is nice build/set. I noticed, that properly(well..) built has no SOD effect.

sardor, PM me, if you are operating on the edge of free ROM space(fullblown, heavy customized prods), maybe we could make interesting conclusions on our problem then.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Pupakota's question moved outside of sys ans xip thread to have more answers ;)

MOD EDIT
[Windows Mobile] millski:
I'm having this same issue with a 23569 build. Thing is Word loads fine on my CHT 1.8.5 based ROM but won't open on my MaXSense ROM - as has been mentioned by someone else I think it's probably just a random bad dll processing during build... :(
[Windows Mobile] pupakota:
Do you think they linked up Word with riched now?

I mean, that Word was working without riched included in rom till now.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] DaReDeViL:
pupakota : I had the same problem and solved it.

I think you're including some other language support in your rom which breaks the thing. Anyway, try cooking webview_cs & remove riched20_cs, and don't forget complexscript_fonts. if you're cooking a wwe rom only, use webview, riched20 and system_default_fonts
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psionicsin:
I'm not too sure what happened. All I know is that I used "CMDA Workshop" with the Diag drivers to retrieve my MSL, so I could change my Home Agent for better signal and clarity.

But now, for some odd reason, my phone will no longer mount as a disk drive when loaded into Android OS (will mount from Recovery though). And HTC Sync isn't connecting to my computer either.

Does anyone know if I maybe did something wrong? These worked perfectly before.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Have you tried changing the values back to what they were originally?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3xn2o:
Or Try Restarting your computer...

That helps me usually...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psionicsin:
I figured out what it was. It was the Diag drivers. I reinstalled the other drivers and it worked perfectly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
I'm attempting to root my HTC Desire, but having some problems.

I am following the guide here: theunlockr .com /2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire/ but I haven't made a goldcard because my device is unbranded. Perhaps this is where I went wrong?

Everything seemed to be going fine until: 7. Now on the computer double click the “step2-windows.bat” file and wait for it to finish.

The command prompt flashes briefly, but I took a screenshot and the error was 'device not found'

I'm really not sure what to do at this point..

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 42turkeys:
Have you got HTC Sync installed? This is not a goldcard error as that would be Custom ID Error
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Did step 1 complete correctly?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregounech:
There is no step 2 anymore on modaco's method :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjef85:
try following this guide as it is the original post by Paul and all others are just copy/paste's (or bad rewritten) guides
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
I do have HTC Sync installed, yes.

Step1 did appear to complete correctly, but at one point I spotted the word FAILED in command prompt, but they everything continued apparently at normal.

My phone is currently at the recovery screen with the ! is it safe to pull the battery? It isn't responding to the power button.

The FAILED error was something like.. 42 device id check fail
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Yeah if you are at the red triangle then you can pull the battery..

I'd use the guide on modaco. It's foolproof and very easy to follow.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr@p:
Yes, it's safe to pull out battery.

I had the same problem with step 2, then I've found out the modaco method without step 2, and it worked out fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kai84m:
I would do the rooting under Linux!I had enough trouble with it under windows (maybe because of x64).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoonari:
reason for "device not found" is missing drivers for bootloader mode.

believe me, its much more easier to root your device under Linux liveCD, than cheating with drivers for windows.

good luck ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
The riskfree method on modaco works perfectly. I unrooted by using a stock ruu earlier to remove unrevoked, and use the riskfree method to root again. It's easy and painless on win7 64bit.

I think the step one didn't complete properly for the OP anyway as he said he seen an error at that stage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
Ok, using the riskfree modaco method now. Everything fine until installing update from SD card. E: failed to verify whole-file signature. Esignature verification failed. Installation aborted.

Is this due to not using a goldcard? I tried to make one but it kept saying it the card was damaged and needed formatting each time.

Edit. also the email I get in the goldcard creation process has the subject 'Your generated G1 goldcard' I'm not sure why it says G1? but the gold card process doesn't work and says I need to format the disk for it to be usable.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjef85:
In the first posts you said your device is unbranded. So why did you made a goldcard? It's not necessary

Also make sure to use the files as you can download in the Modaco thread I posted in post #5
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaphal:
I think I must have misunderstood what unbranded meant. Or maybe it was just a coincidence, but it worked once I used the goldcard.

The phone came from T Mobile, but lacks and T Mobile branding on the case or any T Mobile apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjef85:
Then it's proberly branded, you can verify by the ROM version (search the forum for it). I don't think it can harm to use a goldcard with a non-branded device anyway (correct me if i'm wrong).

Also try to download the files from the Modaco forum again (and don't rename any files)

If that doesn't work, take a look at these search results. I can remember I had the same problem as you have, dunno exactly what solved it, but these search results def. helped me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lahma69:
Hi, I recently updated from fresh 0.5.3 to damage control 3.2.3 including updating the radio and wiimax radio to the latest version. My camera nor camcorder app will work correctly now. When I click the icon it goes to a black screen and stays that way until I click the home icon to exit. I've tried flashing multiple roms to see if that was the issue, but it hasn't changed anything. Anyone have any ideas or tips? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuggashuggs:
this has been happening to me lately too... can't get camera to launch!!! running RvU and all was well and camera worked fine... now suddenly camera shows icon briefly then goes back to home screen, or, when a few other apps are running goes black until pressing home button. trying to launch camera has locked phone up a few times too. Tried deleting apps (ATK, fring etc...) hard reset, remove battery, re-flashing ROM, re-flashing radio... nothing has worked and it hasn't come back even once. WTF? hardware issue?

everything else seems fine and I don't really want to take it in to Sprint just yet... but miss the cam!!!:(

edit: so after 10,000 reboots and battery/SD card pulls and 500 lock ups... three days of trying everything and getting really frustrated, my wife says 'did you smack it yet?' rather jokingly... and out of spite for sprint/htc I did give the phone a few thwacks on the backside and the frickin' camera fired up! strange lines/slow tapestry of colors... able to switch over to front camera and take a pic... after rebooting she works like a charm (!!!???)... so far so good...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lahma69:
still not working

Anyone have any advice? I seem to have tried nearly everything. Rebooted 10 times in a row, took my battery out for extended periods, reflashed several roms several times (damage control, bugless beast, etc), and fixed permissions in rom manager. The only 2 things I haven't tried yet which I guess are next on the list is flashing to a rooted version of the new ota rom and formatting my sd card. Any other suggestions people?

[Nexus One General] FuzeAction:
As a N1 user who prefers the clean look, I thought I'd post a quick tutorial for achieving invisible icons on your homescreen. I currently use 2 invisible icons on my primary homescreen, one for the camera, and one for a direct dial to my significant other.

After setting up homescreen to my perfect specifications, I realized I wanted quick access to the person I call the most as well as to the camera, without cluttering the screen further. Using BetterCut, I was able to find a solution rather quickly...

Bettercut is a paid app available in Android market, although I am sure there are alternatives for achieving custom icons. This tutorial will focus on BetterCut exclusivly.

*It should be noted I am currently using ADW Launcher, which allows you to remove the labels of icons on your homescreen. This ability is key, and is avaiable in several 3rd party launchers

For Camera or any other App

1. Download a blank .png image.

I've included one in this thread, or you can just google "blank png"

2.Open BetterCut by long-pressing on your homescreen, selecting Shortcuts, then BetterCut.

3. Select Activity, followed by the App which you want to open.

4.Choose the option to Change Icon, and pick the picture of the blank .png in your gallery. The Create.

5. You should recieve notification your shortcut was created, but obviously you shouldn't see anything different on your screen. Move your trackball around to bring up the selector and find your invisible icon. Press and hold, and then drag to the desired location.

DONE!

For a contact (Direct Dial or Direct Message)

1. Download a blank .png image.

I've included one in this thread, or you can just google "blank png"

2.Open BetterCut by long-pressing on your homescreen, selecting Shortcuts, then BetterCut.

3. Choose Other Available Shortcut, then either Direct Dial or Direct Message. Using BetterCut's built in Direct Dial or Direct Message will result in your icon having a white frame with an identifier. Use Android's built in Direct Dial instead.

4. Select your contact's specific entry.

5. Choose the option to Change Icon, and pick the picture of the blank .png in your gallery. The Create.

6. You should recieve notification your shortcut was created, but obviously you shouldn't see anything different on your screen. Move your trackball around to bring up the selector and find your invisible icon. Press and hold, and then drag to the desired location.

That's it. You can now access your chosen App or Contact directly from your homescreen, without cluttering it with more icons! Just remember it's there or this tip will have very limited functionality ;)

Thanks for reading, any feedback would be appreciated.

The widget is called SwitchPro, available in the Market.

The invisible icons are on the homescreen where no widgets or icons exist. The screencaps show where the icon is located, before and after using the trackball to select it. Obviously you can just press in that area and the "invisible" icon will be selected.

Guys, i have tried 3 ROMs already offered here, like 21884 the stock GSM and the stripped GSM,, but all has the same issue .. the mp3 playback stutters almost in every song that will play.. either putting the mp3 internally or using an SD card.. still stutters.. Is there something wrong with the hardware itself?..
[Palm Treo Pro] amcolash:
on a fresh soft reset, check out how much ram you have. i usually have from 58-60 mb free. it may be the roms, otherwise make sure that all other programs are closed out. when i play songs, every once in a while it skips for a few milliseconds, but it is not too noticable.

Does this happen constantly or every 60 seconds? If the latter, disable the screen saver - it's a known bug of Treo Pro.

Hi everyone -- With the popularity of LauncherPro, I've been pretty shocked at how difficult it is to find good icons for the launcher. For those of you customizing the launcher icons, how about you post your pics?

If you pulled your icons from a particular set, post a link or tell others where to find them.

I'm using a set that I think is nice and sleek (link below), but I love swapping them out once in a while.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jGroves:
sweet. thanks. i'm trying 2 customize launcherpro now. does that battery app/widget take up much of your battery power? i'm using the simple battery widget now
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jGroves:
Sorry for another simple question ... but I don't see an option in the preferences to make the dock icons have the circles around them. I'm also wondering what it is in your notification bar that is the colored circle
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
The icons are from the set linked in the original post. Put them on a folder on your SD card, then you can pick them as a "custom icon" when you assign the links on the LauncherPro bar.

The battery widget hasn't seemed to drain my battery any more than normal.

The round battery at the top is a custom battery I installed by modifying the "framework-res.apk" file. You can find a lot of info about modifying that file in other threads on this forum.
