[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattv888:
Hey guys, I'm about to order a Galaxy S, but there's one very pressing question I have before doing so. The phone includes the thinkfree office app, but editing/creating documents with an onscreen keyboard (even swype) is nearly impossible. I need a phone that I can quickly edit some docs with it on the train, so i was wondering, is it possible to hook up a bluetooth keyboard to this phone? I know the streak has this profile, so is it possible to port it to the galaxy S if it doesn't have it? Thanks in advance guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emelie:
There's an open issue for this over at android google code: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1147

in the comments to this issue someone mentioned this link: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid

quote from the site:

i'm going to test this tomorrow with a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 and report back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattv888:
Thanks man, I'd never heard of the app before. They mention an unlimited trial of their app online, but purchasing it costs $9.99. If you're familiar with the software, what are the limitations of the trial? Also as a galaxy S user, what are your impressions of thinkfree office? Is it an actual decent editor for rich word documents on the go? Would you need the bigger screen of the streak to make it truly competent or is the 4 inch enough? Thanks mate
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattv888:
Hey, sorry for the double post. I just wanted to know if you had already tested it out and if your impressions were positive. I think this could be a pretty important thing to a (albeit a niche) group of people. Please let me know ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] emelie:
no worries, i don't think it's a double post just wanted to reference this over here.

haven't had the time to test yet, will do it this weekend.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] abilgehan:
I'm using imate pda2k device.

wm pro 6.5 is the operating system.

The device was working smoothly until a week ago.

the question: the phone function does not work. sent me sms comes, I can send sms. But I can not receive calls and make calls on. To even make a call, even numbers and contacts will not open.

Bluetooth had no problem connecting to GSM networks, but the exclamation was inserted. From the LED is blinking but the screen seemed to connect to the network that still has delusions of trying to connect. I like my phone is ringing like a phone call to another party, but on the phone to the sound goes nothing, I can even connect to the internet , but the normal phone functions does not work.

please help me

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] caine256:
Hello Everyone,

I just picked up a Sprint Evo last week and got it rooted and loaded flipz image. I would like to get a new phone number so I gave Sprint a call this morning and they said they needed do "reprogram" my phone so I had to call them back from another phone. Is there really anything I need to do to update my phone to a new number once Sprint assigned a new number to my phone? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
Well I have a couple apps that I am modding to my liking. I'm modding the actual apk file itself. Is it ok to post them when finished, or could that be an issue
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
If they are free I don't see why not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
Free does not always equal open source or give you the right to distribute.

You should email the developer to make sure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
I just figured it would get deleted by a Mod due to the fact it wasn't my work originally. I got a couple I know people will like.

Fancy Widget, working on a clear Pandora (couple versions actually), and Some more that I come across.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
Right that what I was thinking.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolsticeZero:
I second this. An e-mail to the dev would be the best idea.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
Wonder how Pandora would respond to a bad grammer, spelling, and sounding email? Hey look at this email this no body actually thinks we will give him permission to distribute our program, just changed to his liking. haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
Haha, post it here and I'm sure we can proof read it for you. :)

Pandora was only a small start-up not too long ago. Although I think your chances are VERY slim on getting them to give you permission to redistribute their APK. Think about it, what if you started putting in a virus and everyone blames it on Pandora?

If you have a clear theme you want people to use, you're probably better off packaging something yourself that requires users to download the official APK for Pandora and modify the contents themselves.

What I just described is pretty common practice as it puts the modification of the content in the end users hands which is (arguably) within their rights.

So posting a zip of some original images (not modified versions of theirs) and instructions on downloading their APK and making the modifications is the safest way to do it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
Yeah I know they wouldn't give me permision haha. I don't know how to even create a virus. But your point is clear to me. So my easy install of clear Pandora will just sit in a folder for personal use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
How about posting a not-do-easy install? :)

Sent from my EVO 4G using the XDA App.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minjin:
I've never looked into the structure of apk files but I thought it was compiled code? How are you modifying it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
Lol meaning? Or I could look into metamorph.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
I'll let you know when I'm on my pc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
i've seen plenty of roms that have pandora (themed) included. would what you're wanting to do be any different?

i've even seen an "adless" version of pandora floating around somewhere before.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enragedpaza:
All I wanted was a transparent Pandora. I made every widget 50% transparent. I know there is metamorph and there is a theme/skin floating around that will do it. But, I dont like having to go through the process of downloading Metamorph, download this, download that. Just wanted to have it as a apk. I haven't used Metamorph since nexus one sold it 2 months after buying it. Might have changed since then, but it used to fail on doing some skins.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
you should just make the theme, and let people morph it themselves. a theme is not the same as distributing the application.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] motodroidfreak:
I have a moto droid rooted and it has froyo 2.2

Baseband C_01.3E.03P

Kernel 2.6.32.9-P3Droids

Build Onix 1.2.0

Okay I have this on here but my question is can i still get OTA updates from Verizon???

If not what do i have to do to get them????
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] aerdely:
I am not totally sure on this but I believe the updates blocked on some roms when rooted. In order to get system updates you might have to unroot the best way I believe is to search around when the update is pushed. If it says on internet a system update for Droid has been pushed then you can unroot and the device should prompt you to update after a couple minutes of turning it on. This usually happens after a month of Verizon pushing the update, they only push to so many phones at first because of system load when people download if too many people do it could crash the system. After a month or two they make it available to any phone because system load drops.

The other thing is once your rooted most likely someone will root the new version of os and you just have to wait a day or to to flash it. As of now though what I've read last is Droid probably wont get 3.0 or gingerbread because it will probably take a min of 1 ghz to run it. As far as I know that's only speculation but if you read forums that's what Verizon says about next update. All things said it looks as if Droid is stuck with 2.2.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] motodroidfreak:
Hey thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Barkleyfan:
Update should be blocked. Why would you want it? As soon as ota is released, it will be available online.no need to wait for VZW to push it to you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wileyvic:
At least droid gets 2.2, us poor milestone owners could be stuck on 2.1... :-(

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osin83:
I rooted my hero several months ago to remove a bunch of the bundled software that was wasting space and constantly updating itself. I definitely noted some better battery life afterwards. The only problems I noted since were minor: app icons becoming blank or random pics, apps renaming themselves as random file names (ie. my sprint football app is now res/xml/widget_nfl.xml in my app list and the icon is just blank), everytime I my phone restarts, my weather channel widget doesnt load anymore.

The one major problem I've had has been that every time i've tried to update my firmware, the file downloads, I run it, and it says there was an error and it brings me to the root screen. I havent had time to play with it recently as I'm in med school, but I just found out that the 2.1 update finally came out and I need it to run a few apps. Before I jump ahead and do it, is there something that I'm not doing properly as far as updating a rooted phone? Skipping steps maybe? Any help would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerry43812:
Upgrade your Rom to the latest ruu. Roll it back to .5. Root. Done.

You'll lose what you have on your phone bit your problems will be gone.
[General Questions and Answers] bodom658:
Hi,

I recently bought a Rogers HTC Dream off of kijiji.ca, from a seller here in Halifax. After playing around for a few days, I have determined that the Wifi and the SD Card reader do not work.

I can live without wifi, that may fix after a ROM flash. My problem is the SD card. My phone will not read any SD card. I have looked around the internet, and i have noticed a few things.

For one, a lot of people seem to think it is a hardware issue. I am willing to resolve this, as I can get a new part for ~$60 on the internet, and can install it myself.

I have noticed in the fastboot that it says S ON (in the same line as 32B, etc). I was wondering if this could be another issue... It has the perfected **** on it...

Anyway, if you need any other info just ask.

And, any help is greatly appreciated.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Since there was a thread about a scam over unlocking I'm a bit more concerned about what site I choose to unlock my phone.

What would you people recommend? Trusted and safe site?

I've heard a lot of good stuff about unlock-zone. What others have users on here used?
[Desire General] Teppic24:
I used www.htcsimunlock.com
[Desire General] madsurfer1:
I unlocked mine on ebay, it was cheaper than most sites, was fast, and you'll have the paypal insurance, so nothing can go wrong.
[Desire General] matthewb66:
I used htccode.com successfully 2 times. As I stated in the other post, the downloaded application did not work at first attempt (could not connect to server) so I used the Live Support link on the homepage, and an engineer detected my logged in user name, requested the IMEI code and emailed the unlock code within 10 minutes.

This is the 2nd time I have used them, and it would be tough to get better service in my opinion.

I am sure some individuals may have problems, but htccode has worked fine for me twice.
[Desire General] wgg:
Used ebay and had the unlock code in about a minute cost £8,99 and no faffing around like some of the other sites.
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
How exactly do you use ebay to get a code?
[Desire General] cez10:
you pay, give your imei and they probably send you back a code you need to type into your phone
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Yeah I know the procedure but where do I need to go on ebay to get the codes?
[Desire General] wr8_utd:
Seems a good site. Everything went ahead smoothly?

And if I update my Phone to Froyo it won't lock my phone again right?
[Desire General] cez10:
ive just ordered mine from this guy

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-code-H...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eadf35cb0

seems pretty trusted 99.6% and quick so we'll see how it goes

ok got my code after about 2h, original t-mobile phone now works fine with orange + a polish operator plus gsm :)
[Desire Android Development] ritdaw:
Firstly I take no responsibility for issues caused by this "fix". A nandroid backup is always recommended. It has been tested with MCR r4 WIP and Exchange 2010, no other roms have been tested.

Since FRF91 2.2 has been released a number of people have had difficulty connecting HTC Mail/Stock Email to Exchange Active-Sync. Like a number of organisations using Exchange we have the security options set to "accept client certificates". It seems since FRF91 has been released this setting stops phones without certificates from connecting with a username & password.

The fix is a new libnativehelper.so installed in /system/lib I personally have no idea what the file does or doesn't do, it appears that its been built from source in order to fix this problem!

All credits to grennis. If you wish to read further into the fixes technical details, see here.

How to install attached zip (this is not an update zip):

1. Extract the zip someplace handy

2. Boot your phone into your preferred recovery

3. Run 'adb shell' (this gives you a shell on the phone)

4. Run 'mount /system' (allows writes to the system volume)

5. Run 'cd /system/lib' (enter the system lib directory)

6. Run 'cp libnativehelper.so libnativehelper.so.orig' (make a backup of the original file)

7. Close the ADB shell

8. On your PC, run 'adb push libnativehelper.so /system/lib' (copies the patched file to the phone). This should return a message similar to '1138 KB/s (202976 bytes in 0.174s)'.

9. Reboot the phone

Finally if someone wishes to provide an update zip I will be more than happy to add it to the original post. I however don't have the tools here right now.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
Great job! Does this fix also sorts the "This server requires security features your phone does not have" issue? (that enables the pin code for exchange policy)
[Desire Android Development] xf0rz:
I would like to know this as well.

I only get it to work with HTC Sence ROMs, but they are not stable enough. DJ Droid has performance hickups. I want to go with OpenDesire1.6b and test this fix.

When I do, I'll let you know.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
Thanks mate!
[Desire Android Development] ritdaw:
Well I hope this helps in some way, it was just research on my part not the actual fix. I was specifically looking for a fix for my above issue.
[Desire Android Development] xf0rz:
Tested it with OpenDesire 2.0, didn't change it.

Too bad....have to go HTC Sence ROM.
[Desire Android Development] ritdaw:
This fix only disables part of the SSL code so it can connect to servers with optional client certificates. It won't effect any of the policy options.
[Desire Android Development] DownloaderZ:
So this does not enable the pin?

I hate the interface of touchdown (and having to pay for exchange functionality :( )
[Desire Android Development] kevinlow:
tested this fix with a few roms and none of them works.. been not able to connect to my company exchange since hero and legend with htc stock mail..

looks like for the moment only WM and PC can do skype call:(
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
or nokia phones..
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
this is bad...

no skype(skype call) on android:(
[XPERIA X10 General] mith500:
dont make calls much using skype on the phone.

But I think nimbuzz allows you to make calls.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I think Verizon Wireless has some sort of exclusivity on the Skype app.

http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/skype-mobile/android/

Skype exists, but right now, it's limited to Verizon in the US.

(Also, the program is called Fring. How many times can you misspell the word "Fring" in one thread??)
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Fring or Fringe that is not the point.

As long it does not allow us to make skype calls i realy do not care how you spell it

Fring or Fringe cause it is useless to me.

:)
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
Alright guys, i gues i can forget skype fo rnow.. but is there any other software like skype where i can buy credits and make voip call sover wifi and 3g???
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
http://www.truphone.com/applications/devices/android/ it seems it is what you are looking for... i think, you can find it in the market

i searched the market for voip apps and a i got quite a few

so you should look an see if there is any that is good for you:)
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
I always use Nimbuzz to make free calls via skype. Lite version of Skype does not give call function. It is just that other person has to login to skype, as I am not not using any credit....
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
Are u still using nimbuzz, last time i checked nimbizz didnt offered skype out calls on android.
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
Thanx alot bro but this is too expensive i have US and Canada for 2.99 mth unlimited.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
I think it was the other way around, it was Skype's decision to remove there service from Fring cuz thery're not profiting from them and Fring is gaining more recognition over the Android platform. I am a long time user of Skype and I pay $13.99 a month for the Unlimited World plan just to call my gf in Thailand. It is sad to know that they removed their service from Fring :( but this can also mean that they're developing an app of their own that could make VoIP calling over Android possible? Nonetheless, i'm still getting my White Rachael :P
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Thanks buddy.

I know it's nitpicking but man am I getting tired of people calling Fring > Fringe.

Yes - It does matter because it's called Fring.

Sent from my Winodes computer running Visat 46 bit ... see ... it matters.
[XPERIA X10 General] Byrana:
Nimbuzz offers Skypecalls through WiFi and 3G. I tried a couple of test calls and deleted it. Out of 10 tries I got like 2 - 3 calls out but it was not stable. Sometimes I couldn't here the other person and so on. Right now there's no way for Skype on the x10.

Don't you just hate company policies :)
[XPERIA X10 General] customyota:
I used nimbuzz to make Skype calls before all this happened. Now I can't get that to work either. Looks like Skype had pulled the plug on all third party apps. Sucks. At least I still have gizmo5, even though the call quality is not as good.
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
well fellas! i tried using numbuzz and calls are working on it, quality is very crappy but hey cant comnplain/
[XPERIA X10 General] junooni.1980:
It's so funny how we're talking about using the skype out feature. Yet you're so mature that you're so worried about the spelling mistakes & it's rediculious that you actually took time to post a thread to cmplain about the spelling mistake & also mentioned that it matteres alot the weay it's spelled.

For ppl like you, all i can say is "Dont be a part of the problem if you can't come up with a solution". LOL! and it's so surprising someone from MTL is pointing out spelling mistakes.:p

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] WACOMalt:
I had been having this same issue, and though it's annoying I did find how to fix it (at least on my Droid X) After you have made all your shortcuts, and the icons looks crappy, restart your phone. This made them shrink to the proper size for me.

I have a different issue with anycut where certain contacts just will not add as a dial shortcut. Had to use motorola's built in contact quick task shortcuts, which I dont like as much..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
I find this problem on most mobile phones, Android, Winmo, and I am guessing it's related due to the heavy advertising on their site, but every time I try to download from Media fire on my Evo, it does not work right - it shows the click here to download button, I click it and it cycles the whole process over.
