-_-" finally, I can recover my devices ...

@bratfink I think those files were dangerous, got stucked at the (big S boot screen), broke the "su" command so I can not restore the original one.

I must flash the Kernel back to LeShak kernel then restore those files. flash current again then device back to normal.
[Android Apps and Games] Bisis:
I'm looking for an app which can, as happens on nokia phones or on iphone, enable internet connection with the specified and desired frequency.

I'd like to download mails and get apps synced using the internet connection which should turn ON only, for example, 1 time each hour...

Internet Connection should be kept OFF during time other than when sync is needed also to preserve unuseful battery consumption.

Any ideas?

By Android settings I can see only "keep internet connection always on".
[Android Apps and Games] Vially:
Look for Timeriffic in the Market
[Android Apps and Games] Bisis:
Really unuseful app for my request... sorry but removed.
[Android Apps and Games] Bisis:
Did I make a so strange question??

Is there a so stupid answer or solution or it's impossible to do what I ask?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Tasker can set Auto Sync or Mobile Data entirely on/off on any kind of schedule you want. Mobile Data manipulation relies on APNDroid, which might have caveats or requirements, not sure.

Tasker can do a zillion other things too.

Honestly, however, with all of the things I have running on my Nexus One, including K9 Mail syncing two IMAP mailboxes, weather, some periodic GPS stuff going on in Tasker I have set up, I still see 2-2.5%/hr battery usage. I charge nightly, so this is plenty of battery life for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] keemosabi:
So I started using xdandroid on my Touch Pro 2. Everything seems to be working except the phone claims to have no data connection. As a result, I can make calls, but can't surf the internet. The data connection works on WinMo, but not in Android. What can I do to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] M1A1D:
Log into the T-Mo website and switch your data plan to Android. Wait about six hours, and you'll have data in Droid, but not in WinMo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
If I were you personally I would head over to the FAQ and read up on data connection issues before you call tmobile to change your data plan.....

http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/faq

Ive never heard of this being used as a fix, but M1A1D PMd me, and said this is how he fixed his data issue. Still personally I would run through the FAQ first, but if all else fails, then there is your next step in the process. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Palmbxr:

Is your phone charged? i know it will give you that error if you're trying to run a restore with a low battery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
This. Just boot into recovery with the phone plugged in and you shouldn't have any issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] .mak:
Failing plugging it in to a power source, reboot your phone into recovery again.. sometimes I run into these hiccups in Recovery and a reboot fixed them..
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
also make sure your sdcard isn't full a full card can shoot errors as well i hear
[HTC Aria General] Googa:
I think I may be having problems with the compass on my Aria. On all apps I've used that utilize the digital compass (sky map, compass, AR apps like wayfinder nyc), the compass movement seems jumpy and will give extremely inconsistent results, most times settling on an inconsistent heading.

Is there some way to check that the compass is properly calibrated?

Has anyone else been having problems?
[HTC Aria General] gdeadfan:
I very much have the same problem. Skymap and compass apps are incredibly underwhelming
[HTC Aria General] modest_mandroid:
Same here, skymap is basically unusable.

update:

Figured out a pretty good way to calibrate it. Launch skymap, then rotate the phone around several times on every axis (ie, rotate around x axis a few times, then y, then z). The magnetometer should reset itself and point in the correct direction.

update2:

After playing around with it for a while, I noticed that there is a difference of about 5-10 degrees between north in landscape mode and north in portrait mode. Pretty disappointing and lesson learned - don't rely on your Aria if you're going to Man vs. Wild it in the jungle for a while.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
As with all digital compasses, it needs calibration, rather some sort of reset.. I haven't see true calibration.

See this video on it.. It's very simple to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o

No, it's jot a joke. Compare against a real compass. Without this, I've found my N1 20+ degrees off, after, +/- 2
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
When i had the backflip you could go into the settings and click on compass calibration, you have to rotate/spin the phone on all it's axis or just do a figure 8 in the air with the phone. I did this yesterday on my Aria on google skymap, told me the sun was underground so I did a figure 8 to calibrate the compass and then it was all good. Just do it when you open any compass using app when you launch it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churchwin88:
If I plan on buying a 16gb card do I need to copy the files from the stock 8gb over to it or not?

Also, a simple question that probably has a simple answer but just to be safe. It won't mess up root/unlocked nand if I do, right? And it won't mess up apps that are currently installed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
you do not need to copy any files over, and it will not cause any problems with apps so long as you are not using app2sd on an ext partition.

Also, it will not mess with root so long as you have flashed a custom recovery during nand unlock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churchwin88:
Thank you for clearing that up!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
If you have programs that save data on to the SD card then you actually would need to copy them to your new SD card or the data just won't be there.

A few games come to mind, some of my office docs as well as content from dropbox, my RSS news feed configurations, as well as any pictures or videos taken using the evo. If your phone is bone stock though, then no there isn't anything you need to copy over it'll work with an empty card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quick2822:
I'm new here, just wanted to say thanks for providing such a great place for HTC EVO information.

I came from the iPhone 3G to the HTC EVO a week or so ago. I had my 3G jailbroken for the main reason I wanted access to applications Apple didn't allow. However, I do love tweaking my phone and it was fun having root access to the file system to put in custom ringtones, etc..

Now that I'm on Android, I have access to any application I want without having to do anything special (main reason I switched, despite the obvious difference in the number of apps available on Android). I love the idea of custom ROMS, but right now it seems a lot of them have various issues like battery drainage or 4G not working correctly.

I'm aware that HTC just recently released the EVO source so it will take some time to migrate code over to improve performance but right now I just don't see much of advantage in rooting your phone. Custom boot loaders are cool, and a few apps seem nice to have if you are rooted, but not much else.

Am I missing something or will is it really not worth wiping all your data and rooting your phone right now? Is it just a matter of some time before the ROMs to improve on such a new phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
there are pros and there are cons sure.

some roms will boast a better battery life, some will boast better performance, what have you.

many people root just so they can use wireless tether which is as good as any reason to root.

ive personally found the custom roms have cool features which will in the end detract from the main idea its a phone and at the end of the day (For me, where phones and data connection are important) needs to work as a phone.

Im currently using baked snack and i find it provides a better battery life than other roms ive tried, and i can wireless tether which for me is enough at the moment.

edit to say:

over time the roms will get better, more features will be implemented, more options available and better overall performance. the devs here are amazing they really truly are and the only direction to go at this point is up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Inspired by the Wuvuzela app (and possibly by the announcement of Portal 2 at E3), I've developed a simple little application that allows you to blow into your phone's microphone to blow out candles on a cake.

The options screen, displayed before running the app, now allows you to Calibrate your device's microphone. Simply touch "Calibrate", press OK, and blow into your phones mic until told to stop. The minimum decibels needed blow out the candles are now set to your current environment.

You can also enable the tune, which will play the Happy birthday tune after blowing out the candles.

Finally, you can change the preset message to something more personal, such as "Happy Birthday, Michele!"

Features:

-Blow out candles with your phones mic

-Custom birthday message

-Calibrated to your environment

-New, prettier birthday cake

-Happy birthday tune played in the background

Tested and working on my HTC HD2, but should work on other devices as well.

Let me know what you think/if you have any problems.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AthenaLod:
thx, but it didn't work on my touchpro. no matter how hard or soft i blow, the candle keeps burning.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lozitw:
Great stuff, but did not produce shortcuts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
I apologize for that, I'll get a fixed cab out soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Does it flicker any? (animation should change if over 25dB)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
It's fixed, re-download the file and let me know if it helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AthenaLod:
the flame dances juuust a bit, again, no matter how hard i blow... btw, i even tried whistling and screaming :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
That's strange, I suppose the app can't get a hold on your devices microphone. Again, it's only been tested on the HD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
Nice Application......Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christian suryo:
work great on omnia even just half screen...thank..:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rodolphe123:
thanks for this good idea ! But in my HTC Touch HD, doesn't work : the candle is still there even if I blow strongly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dio62000:
Nice app. But bad for your HD2's mic (corrosion!).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Didn't work on Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhawk2820:
Nice application.

But will be better if we can edit the message.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ostvarivanje:
Thank you very much for application. Today is my birthday, even I can't switch off the candle. :)

I will try to restart the phone just in case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshzzz2001:
Happy Birthday! Buy a real cake and share it with family and friends :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Josh1912:
If I may give my input

I think this application is useless, however many people like useless applications. To be quite honest, I think If you added the happy birthday song within the app that could be played on demand, that would create a much higher demand for it. I know there have been times when its someones birthday and I wish I could play the birthday song..... If this idea intrigues you let me know when you add it so I can be the first to test it out.... seems pretty simple....Good luck :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] backlashsid:
great start....has great potential !!! why not try a new app of bits of paper.....that fly in pointed direction when blown in the mic ????:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ostvarivanje:
Thank you very much. Of course I bought a real cake for my friends. I have installed this app only for fun!

Happy holiday to all of you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Once I get off vacation, I'll be sure to see about adding these features.

Also, can anyone see about getting me a cake image I can edit? One without a giant Portal gun? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davidshooki:
Would be cool if you could choose the number of candles (instead of only one candle) and it you have a background music (like happy birthday song or get to chose a song to play).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
in my i900 picture is ok... but blowing doesn't work : the candle is still there even if I blow strongly...

;-)

anyways, good idea !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Works very nice on my Omnia. The candle goes out very easily, i do not have to blow that hard. Birthday music and costomizable message would be very sweet.

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christian suryo:
like i said before it work on my omnia, but it always installed on phone main memory even on the installation step i had choose to install on storage card. I had tried to move the app with SKKV tools but it failed. could you figure out this bug??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ferbes:
Muy buen chiste. Se deben estar riendo mucho de todos los tontos que estamos soplando celulares, no?

Very good joke. You should be laughing a lot from all the fools who are blowing phones, shouldn´t you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ferbes:
Bithday Cake

Muy buen chiste. Ustedes deben estar riendo mucho de todos los tontos que estamos soplando celulares, no? La llama ni se mueve.

Very good joke. You must be laughing a lot from all the fools who are blowing phones, aren´t you? The flame does not move.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
If the candle doesn't move, it's a glitch. The app works perfectly fine on my HD2, and apparently on other phones too.

It's a bug with the installer. When I get around to making a new version, this will be fixed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Version 2.0 released (big jump)!

Download: http://windowsphonehacker.com/birthdaycake2_released-08-05-10.php

The cake is improved (sorry GLaDOS), and there is now an options screen that allows you to configure the application before you run it.

Read the first post for more details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christian suryo:
v 2.0...work great but still goes to main memory, cant install to storage:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Are you sure? I installed it to my Storage Card...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christian suryo:
yes, i check it with installed apps at MemMaid. On installation process i did it on storage card, but weird thing is it goes to memory card (just like happened on my first post with v 1.0).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
hi.

location is in "Program Files", in the main memory. See printscreen below for details.

To fix this, open the .cab with WinCE CAB Manager (or your favourite CAB manager), go in the CAB Informations about the default install Dir. There, set it to "%ProgramFiles%\BirthdayCake" (by the way, you create another empty folder named "BirthdayCakeSetup", as the Application Name). Then go in the files and for each choose "%InstallDir%" as location. It will take the default path earlier setted.

;-)

Else, works great on my i900.

Should I suggest some minor fixs ?

- keep custom text (saved in registry or text file)

- keep custom calibration (saved in registry or text file)

- keep play tune choice (saved in registry or text file)

- after clic on "Exit" or "Start", force hiding SIP. Because if we put a custom text, the keyboard will stay open...

- on clic "Exit", kill the tune if playing

- after having blowed the candles, maybe a picture of the cake, or balloons,... ?

- after having blowed the candles (sucessfully), maybe a clap-clap sound and then the birthday tune ?

;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Ok, I know what the problem is, just a bad setting in VS.

I'll see about adding these to the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshzzz2001:
interesting app! some suggestions that you may want to consider:

1. add in options/settings the number of candles: maybe big candles for 10 years and smaller candles for 1 year, so for 32 years old, there will be 3 big and 2 small candles. maybe the color of the candles can also be configurable.

2. after blowing the candles, fireworks display or balloons popping with the text showing up as well

3. option to change to different cakes: in this way, it can also be for different occasions, not only birthdays, since anyway the text and the tune are already configurable. maybe for this, there is a need to have an option to change the tune to a music file that can be browsed in the device.

4. i prefer also, if possible, full screen and landscape cakes rather than with a background. so the cake is slightly tilted for 3d effect

great job, looking forward to the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stcardinal:
i could not get it to work on my touch pro 2. No matter how much I blew, the candles would not go out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
You can also double-click on the cake to put them out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mnachy:
thanks for the apps. i installed it on sd card on my htc hd2, the graphics work, but there is no music after the candels blow out. any idea why or how to fix it?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdfc2003:
Samsung Ominia 2

Working fine in my Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000).

Little bugs:

.- The disapear of the cake is to slow

.- The music starts playing when cake disapears, would be nice if start playing when the candles are blow

.- The music continue playing gones to exit the application

Thanks for the update, the first one didn't work in my device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Is it installed to the device or storage card? Is anything else playing on the device? Is the volume turned up?

I'll see about adding these to the next version.

Not doing well on my Xperia X1. Calibrated, got the song and all but no sound and candles are still burning, no matter what I do. Icon is missing as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
There is no icon, so it's not missing ;)

I'm not sure why, but I assume some devices/roms may handle the sound driver differently. What was the calibration reading? Does double clicking work?

how to detect blowing action with microphone

HI , I am work with wp7 now. In my application, I need to detect the blowing action , and I searched this in google but got no useful information, could you tell me how to detect blowing action when i get sound from microphone? thank you.
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
I know this device hasn't been officially released yet, but we do have the source code from Samsung and Froyo source code from Google. I was thinking about starting up a dev team to start cooking up ROMS for the Vibrant if you are interested send me a pm on here, and we can get things started. I'll admit I am a little rusty on my Java, but it shouldn't take me no time to learn it again.
[Vibrant General] mattseg:
May be jumping the shark a little. Has anyone found a consistant way to gain root?

Not yet, but on the 15th, I'll be working on it when I get the phone
[Vibrant General] gthmcty1:
Excellent start I have the nexus one as my daily but I am ordering this phone on the 15th as well.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
I will also have the phone on the 15th and if any help or testing is needed Ill be more than glad to help...
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Alright cool, I am reviewing my Java, and I am coming from the Droid to this phone so this should be exciting to hopefully start up a small community of people to help me with cooking up ROMs for this phone
[Vibrant General] teknx:
Is knowing Java the only requriement for being able to create your own custom roms? I'm learning it now in hopes to make my own apps, but I thought you needed to know C and be well-versed in linux stuff like kernel programming to be able to make your own custom roms.
[Vibrant General] christiansantana51:
Im in for the dev team =)........Im coming from the mytouch 3g
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
According to what I can find on source.android.com the only examples of code that they have on there are Java base
[Vibrant General] efbenson:
I am game. I dont have a boat load of time, but I am going to try to get CM6 built for this phone. I want Froyo ASAP. Also I would like to get CM6 on there with some of the other goodies that the phone has such as extra video codec playback. Anyway here is a link on how to build CM that can help jump start everyone.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_from_source

Edit: Java and depending on what you are doing C. The kernels do require heavy hacking if you want to really mess with it, but in most cases all you have to do is build it and link in the proper drivers.

Note: I have never done any of this it is just what I have gathered over the time of owning my G1 since launch day.
[Vibrant General] soboku:
3g,4g FFC is it important?

My G1 is now fu-bar and t-mobile is replacing it with the moto click. I don't no if that is better or worst but it has more ram. Anyway I was not sure if not having a FFC or flash is important but it seems to me that whether the vibrant will handle the 4g speeds or not is. I so what a high end phone but I can't afford to buy one every 6 months. I hope that as people get the vibrant someone will be able to take a peak inside of it to see if maybe t-mobile has the FFC in it but just covered it up with a front case that hides it. Wouldn't that be something, ya right. So I'll wait for a while to see all the real reviews on the phone. Id hate to pay all that money just to find that in a few months or even next year t-mobile completes there so called 4g and I can't take advance of it. I don't no if the hspa + or what ever its called is just a matter of software updates or not. I don't really have a question just rambling.
[Vibrant General] psyko-m1:
I too am CHOMPING at the bit to get the Vibrant.
