lol if we had a choice for every little setting in android, then we would be flooded with the amount of settings available in the ROM. people are already complaining about how you have to have a "PhD in Computer Science" (i call BS. I only have a bachelors in SE :P ) to use android...adding more options will make people think WTF

most people want someone else to take care of everything for them and give them a product that "just works" (i hate you steve jobs)

Can someone write application to emulate that the phone is in car dock without physically being in the dock?, this will enable the horizontal stock features
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
To start: if this is already possible sorry.

I was wondering what you guys think of a home app that has two or more home "apps". I was thinking similar to the HTC sense "profiles" so that I could have one home for work and one for home with different Widgets etc.

If this would be hard to make how can I change the display name for ADW in the select home app screen?

Thank you for the help/ideas.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Carloswithac:
Just have ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro installed. Have each one configured how you'd like and then use Home Switcher from the Market to switch between them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
I have home switcher....not really user friendly IMO as I would prefer not having to open the app.....if it could do time based defaults it would be ok I guess.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
So not a popular idea....ok how do I change the names of apps in the "complete action using" pop-up? Is it possible?
[Omnia II General] vonates:
I have been having a problem with my text message sound notification. After I send and receive about 5 texts, my text message sound notification goes away and it's totally silent. I don't know when I get another text message. I have to restart my phone each time and the sound notification comes back.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] razorjaw:
I couldn't find anything through search, so I'm asking is there a way to get only SOME Google apps?

I really don't want Google talk and some other stuff, is it an all or nothing deal?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] herald83:
You could always just install the full Google Apps and use adb to delete the ones you don't want. That's what I did.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jfontbaby:
Root. Download root manager. And remove. Warning... alot of google stuff is integrated and can mess up your phone. Make sure u back up first.
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
I am looking at both the Motorola T505 and Jabra sp700 for use in my car that lacks an aux port and cassette player. Both offer the same specs with a built-in fm transmitter, but I'm curious which brand will work best with our picky heroes.

Thoughts?

Jabra ($49.99)

Motorola ($54.99)
[Hero CDMA General] raz699:
I have the T505 and LOVE IT! Never tried the Jabra.
[Hero CDMA General] trindy:
I'm with Raz. My T505 cost me 42.00 on newegg (maybe on sale?) and it was the best money I ever spent.

Forget about what ppl are using. Which one is the best? How easy is it to switch?
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
Amon RA seems to be suggested as the one to use when others fail. so, i just use it.

it is very easy to install and use.

(by the way... press vol + & - to 'go back one screen'...that seems to really muss folks up)
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
If you want to do a lot of swapping between different roms, I think Clockwork is the way to go. That being said however, there have benefited some compatability issues with Clockwork and some of the roms. You can find more information in the development forum.
[EVO 4G General] gangsterholla179:
I use Amon-ra

But i often switch to Clockwork

The only problem with clockwork is that is has problems doing a complete wipe
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
The "Evorecovery" is actually the Amon_RA recovery. Toast took Amon_RA's source and modified it a little and made it the default recovery when you do the Part 2 of the root hack.

I use the same recovery, I prefer Amon_RA's recoveries over all others; but that's just me.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
ClockworkMod just because it is default in ROM Manager.
[EVO 4G General] Veritas06:
I have Amon RA's Recovery because it was suggested for Fresh & DamageControl to get the 'Themes' to install correctly.
[EVO 4G General] joackie27:

Now, lets see some normal sized battery doors on ebay.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Akulamenuri:
Its cheap enough, ill bite. I got a 2300mah battery and door from an unknown manufacture when I had a G1 and it worked great, im willing to give this a try. Ill report back once I get it
[EVO 4G Accessories] dmc971989:
im half tempted to get this... ive got a 3500 mah batttery from seidio that i got for my hero, it would fit in my evo just fine but i dont have a back cover

i might just have to send the seller a message and ask how "thick" the battery is... if its anywhere close to seido's 3500 mah unit ill jump on it
[EVO 4G Accessories] red man:
if you get an answer please post it here. thank you

[EVO 4G Accessories] markus_del_marko:
I don't want any battery that requires a larger back cover. Im waiting for a 2000mAh to come out that will fit as is!
[EVO 4G Accessories] LearnIIBurn:
I can't believe how badass the EVO is now. I've had mine for like a month exactly and I get impressed by the amount of accessories popping up for it every week. GO EVO! 15$! count me in even if its crap! I think I spent 15$ on lunch today and thats already looooong gone....ew
[EVO 4G Accessories] itsallsubliminal:
I used seidios online chat to ask a couple questions...

the rep told me 1. they do not accept paypal(just to ask) and 2. you can get the extended battery door alone for around $15 but you have to call them as it "is part of a package which they have to break up"

that will fit your 3500 hero battery (which i have aswell)

done and done.
[EVO 4G Accessories] EliWay:
Ew. Looks like a throwback to the Motorola Microtac days. Why would anyone want to turn their phones into a brick when they can have 3000mAh available to them by carrying an extra battery in their wallet? Crime deterrent ?

[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Have you guys read the description? One of the bullets actually says the following:

Best replacement for the original battery with comparable standby and talk time.

IF it's 3000mah, why are they advertising that it has "comparable" standby and talk time? Wouldn't both of those be doubled?
[EVO 4G Accessories] skittlesV1:
Who knows? Im thinking of buying it but im waiting till people get it and report back.
[EVO 4G Accessories] markus_del_marko:
i just bought the 2000mAh. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] skittlesV1:
theres a cheaper one thats 2500 mah just a few posts up with the same back cover
[EVO 4G Accessories] seebeexee:
Don't go for the Andida 2000mAh battery, even as a stock replacement/substitute. I bought that exact battery for my TouchPro2 and it was worse than the stock battery.

Check out http://www.batteryboss.org/ and look up the Andida 2000mAh battery. When tested, it was only around 1100mAh. Also notice that Seidio's acutal capacities are well below their rated capacities.

The most accurate batteries are the OEM batteries.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
someone needs to send one of these "2500" or "3000"'s to the battery boss for testing. im guessing the 2500 hits 1800 tops. not worth the extra thickness for only 300 more mAh. I would get one and try it out anyways except I have a white EVO. I'll probably order one just to send it in for testing...
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
I'd be really interested in this one if it actually was capable of twice the time the OEM's live for

http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-battery...geNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ht_829wt_1037

At that price.. I'm willing to bet its closer to 1750mAh and a max of 2000...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Travyevo:
I ordered the 3000 but haven't gotten it yet. Have any of you? What is the review?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I ordered the 3000mAh on the 15th and have not received it yet. I had also ordered the 2x1500mAh and charger which took about 2 weeks for me to receive so I am not to worried "yet".
[EVO 4G Accessories] GaryJ51:
I ordered one just for the case door so I can use the HTC TP2 2150mAH battery. Even if the battery that comes with it is garbage, it can still be used as a spare.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgcrpd:
Has anyone tried taking a can of compressed air to the back of the Nexus One in order to try to clear dust away from the screen? I just want it off the center of the LCD screen, don't need to get it out as long as it's not that visible.

What about partially disassembling the phone (like taking out everything that doesn't require you to disconnect flex cables) and then blowing it with the air?

I managed to drop my phone a couple times and that seemed to have caused dust to get under the screen, but I don't want to take it apart completely until I've exhausted all other options. Returning it is also not an option in my geographic location.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enisoc:
Fancy meeting you here ;)

How would the air get into the screen from the back? Isn't it supposed to be sealed?

I wonder if you could move the dust under the screen with static electricity. Get one of those plastic rods like they use for demonstrations in chemistry class and charge it up. Then drag it across the screen over the dust. Just be careful not to discharge the rod onto the metal body of the phone...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brashmadcap:
Even if you did attempt this...

It would probably leave an unremovable sticky film. That's one of the reasons they tell you not to use it to blow off camera sensors, lenses, and CCDs (you're supposed to use a blower bulb). The compressed air isn't just pure clean air, it's got a bunch of bull**** in it. Not to mention it could quickfreeze the OLED parts and ruin the screen permanently. I would NOT try it. In fact, if you clean the back (battery, SD, SIM area) make sure you hold a piece of CLEAN 100% cotton (best if it's from a t-shirt) over the camera sensor or it will blow off the IR filter. Hope this helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhendrix11:
I have done it twice. I posted pictures up on here on a different thread the first time around, which was probably 3 months ago. Send me a pm if you want the pictures. It wasn't horrible to do, but I don't know that I'd recommend it unless you're already experienced in these type of exercises. I didn't have any adverse side affects to the screen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhendrix11:
Here's the before and after.. I have pictures of the dis-assembly as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhendrix11:
Oh yeah, I also found that a can of compressed air wasn't strong enough. I used an actual compressor set at 60-80ish psi I think.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgcrpd:
@enisoc lol...

The teardowns online haven't said that there was anything sealing the screen and the front cover, but the cellphone shops here that I've asked have said that they would apply a sealant if I paid them to take the phone apart for me.

It looks like I can't get to the dust with anything short of a complete teardown :-(. I took the canned air to the back of the phone and it didn't do anything, but I also didn't disassemble the battery tray (no torx screwdriver).

@dhendrix11 if you took the phone apart, why did you still have to use a compressor? Couldn't you then just take something and wipe the dust off?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhendrix11:
I used a combination of compressed air and a microfiber cloth. I found that it was impossible to find an absolutely clean spot on the cloth, so it basically just put dust back on the phone. I mostly used the cloth to wipe off smudges when I accidentally touched the back side of the lens/touchpanel, and relied on the compressed air to remove the dust. Also, I didn't detach the lens from the phone frame, so it's hard to get into the corners (where most of the dust is) with a cloth.

The second time around I had a lot less dust and tried cleaning it without fully removing the LCD. If you take the phone apart, you'll understand why you might want to leave the LCD attached and simply lean it back from the lens. However, in the end, I didn't find that to be effective, so I took the LCD out both times. I've got a small amount of dust back in there again, but may 5-10% of what I had the first time, and I really haven't noticed it at all, even out in the bright sun, which was the environment that I typically found it most offensive.

As long as you have patience, it's certainly a do-able task. The main reason I did it myself is because it was early on before anyone was reporting confirmed success of getting HTC to fix the issue free of charge with an unlocked bootloader. I didn't want to chance getting billed for it so it was a nice little project instead. Now that many people have proven that HTC will honor hardware defects regardless of unlocked bootloader, I'd go the replacement route if there's not some other reason keeping you from it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgcrpd:
well, I ended up taking my phone apart too, using the iFixit guide and the Youtube video. Actually not as painful as I expected it to be, but for some reason I did not have a rubber microphone channel under the bottom mainboard, and I didn't have a screw at the top left of the top mainboard.

I also didn't take the screen out completely, just pulled it up a bit and used tweezers and a cloth to wipe everything off.

Now I have a like-new screen!

That video has been around for months, no pun intended it's actually a replica of every other Galaxy S video with a different color and the Epic shown instead of the the other 4 phones (unlocked Galaxy S has one as well).

so im using a HD2, with the energy rom and tmo just announced that they are rolling out hspa+ in my city (honolulu) so i figured id do a speed test now just to see the difference when they "flip the switches" on 7/21 (my birthday)

so i pull up dsl reports and run the Iphone (bleh)/smartphone speed test choose 3g and........ 126kbps :eek: well maybe its a fluke i rerun it and 51kbps WTF!?!?!?!!?!

so i remember mobilespeedtest.com and i try there and..... 134kbps.....starting to get annoyed and when i compare with other tmo subscribers the average is 580~

so my question is is there something i can do to "fix" my speeds? ive got full signal im always showing "H" oh and im using opera 10.0
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
In Lexington, Ky I get about 400 kbps. In Cincinnati, like 800-900. I just think Tmob's network is really crappy.
[HD2 General] strickzilla:
hahaha well your crappy is still 4 times faster than me :)

just odd its SO slow here where hspa+ is going live in a week
[HD2 General] d0ug:
before TMO threw the HSPA+ switch here in Tampa, i regularly saw 600-800kbps download speeds. Now with HSPA+ it seems to average about 3mbps-4mbps and Ive seen it reach as high as 5.5mbps.

I just got through with a road trip from Tampa to northern Mississippi where i lost the HSPA+ coverage after leaving Tampa, i saw around a 1mbps in outskirt areas north of Tampa that doesn't have HSPA+ yet, and once we hit the interstate it was GPRS coverage for a majority of the trip with some EDGE coverage here and there. God i forgot how slow GPRS was!

oh i also forgot to mention im using the stock radio rom.....maybe a different radio would improve data speeds?
