Does anyone knows there's no RTSP streaming anymore? At least not over 3G, over WIFI I dont have any problems streaming videos over RTSP.

How do you 'check now' ? I popped my T-Mo SIM into the G2 (I have a Desire now..) and hoped the upgrade prompt would just appear, but nothing.. I've left it switched on for 15 mins so far.

Edit: I've not booted this phone since getting the Desire, so I've not tried to force the stage one 2.1 update into it - should that matter?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xxmisiekxx:
Just do manual check for update
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zolmajstor:
g2 touch doesn't have the option "check for software update".don't write wrong informations
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jamesdavid3:
Have you even turned your Wifi/Internet network on??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] malarcy:
If you have got the pre 2.1 update that is available OTA from TMobile and HTC then you DO have Software Updates section in Settings, About Phone, and a button there to Check Now.

That's what I did (having installed the OTA pre update a couple of weeks ago) and that's how I got the update.

So - I think your info is out of date or ..... "Don't write wrong informations".
[Hero, G2 Touch General] malarcy:
You need the OTA pre 2.1 update to get the "Check Now" option in Settings About Phone Software Updates.

If you have a tmobile or htc unbranded phone, then a lot of people have prompted the "pre" update by setting their date forward (I did a month, some have done 2 months others have done years) - I think the key is that the phone checks once every 2 weeks for updates, so moving the date by more than 2 weeks make it check now. Once the pre update is there - you have the same feature from the Settings, About Phone, Software Update menu.

HTH

Note: The updates are linked to the ROM "branding" of the phone, not the network operator of the SIM - so, if you have an orange branded phone, unlocked running with a tmobile sim, then you aren't offered the updates as Orange haven't released them yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] panamanuk:
well I must have had an odd ball G2 Touch from T mobile as the check for up dates was on the phone when it arrived from Mr T in May 2010 I checked every week for the lastest update I had the OTA last month the phone was updated to 2.1 last night. all working ok it seems happy with the phone dose what it say's on the box. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] malarcy:
That was about when the 1st update came out - so they must have pre updated the phone before shipping, for once, that's a reasonable service from TMob.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gdhgdh:
Got sick of waiting for an auto update, so just goldcarded it to a generic RUU and it all worked perfectly - now on 2.1 and happy :)

I'm looking for an app to keep track of the call minutes used on my HD mini - can anyone recommend one?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] ribcage:
If you mean that you want to check the total minutes used on your device, go to settings/about phone/software information.

The total incoming minutes and outgoing minutes will be displayed.

If you need to know the amount of minutes for each call, it's in your call history.
[General Questions and Answers] willcor:
if you are looking for a application ..that keeps a log of all incoming/outgoing /missed calls /time /cost.....etc..."HISTORIA " and is now ...freeware ..look /read this post by "ronenfe " in the general thread of.. xda forum ....

[G1 General] Beackman:
Hi ppl.

I need a little help, when i charge my G1 into the android OS they have a longggg!!!!!!! time to charge, when i shutdown the phone they charge quickly, i try to clear the battery stats into recovery and flashed others roms but not work i try to make a new calibration but not work too, this is normal? or not?

sorry for my english and thx for the help.
[G1 General] themapleboy:
the reason your phone charges faster when its off is because it is not being used

this is completely normal

i wish i could reply in Portuguese but it's against the rules PM me if you still don't understand
[G1 General] Beackman:
No need, i got it, thx man cheers.... :D
[G1 General] grumpymonkey:
BE CAREFUL!! idk if the same thing is happening to u that happened to me but I had a similar issue.

The only charging method I had was via USB, so when I went on vacation I had to bring something to charge it(since there were no computers) so I took a USB brick thing-a-ma-bob which you connect to the wall and has a usb slot on the top. I mean, its just a usb it wont do any harm, right? WROOONNNG it completely messed up my battery!! now its ALWAYS at 99% no matter how long I charge it, and it ALWAYS turns off randomly after a couple minutes of use.

I kinda doubt that little usb charger was the problem, maybe it was just the batterys time to die, but if you did something like that then it probably was the usb thing. I bought a new battery on ebay for $0.99 and when it arrives im only going to charge on my computer with the phone on :P
[G1 General] Beackman:
thats strange, i charge my phone always on, but take a eternet to full charge, but i look at this. thx man.
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
You need to make sure it's putting out the same amount of power as your regular charger. I'm not 100% sure of this, as all I can do is charge at my computer and I have no idea how that works (as in if computer puts out waaay more power or has a limit of how much to put out) but I've always heard too much can be a bad thing for batterys. Also, don't overcharge.
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I have just installed the Citrix Receiver in hopes that I could connect to my Office's network remotely.

I have been able to connect to my published desktop but when I try and connect to a published app I get "Error SSL/TLS error: The certificate Validation failed."

The Iphone i have is able to connect without problems. Now i'm trying to work out if it is a 1.6 limitation or if there is a way for me to connnect by updating the certs on this X10.

Anyone had any similar issues?
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Turns out it's a limitation of the current android OS which isn't fixed until 2.2!

The Verisign CA class 3 Cert is not included on android versions 1-2.1.

It just seems that everyday there's something else i can't do on this phone.

I'm finding it harder to find reasons to keep this phone and not go for the desire!
[XPERIA X10 General] nachtschicht:
Maybe you should take a look at this article from the Citrix Knowledge Center:

https://hqextsrvsft01.citrix.com/article/CTX125431

It helped me to import "TC TrustCenter Class 2 L1 CA XI" into Android's root certificate store. Now I can use Citrix Receiver from market with my work environment (which NEVER worked before), yeah!! :D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] jdrake001:
Hi, may I ask how did you get your TC TrustCenter cert? I have the same problem with connecting to my work environment via citrix receiver.

I have tried the same steps but it didn't help. My cert is a "Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority" from Verisign, and I exported the cert from my PC's browser of the site.
[XPERIA X10 General] nachtschicht:
I downloaded my certificate from here:

http://www.trustcenter.de/infocenter/root_certificates.htm

I assume Verisign is offering a similar service.
[XPERIA X10 General] jdrake001:
Thanks for replying.

Just to share my experience.

Turns out my cert is the correct one all this while, for some reason, on top of adding the cert to cacerts.bks, I have to use the default android browser to navigate to the site with the cert and "accept" the cert from browser, after which everything works like a charm.

The bad news is that this particular cert seem to conflict with android market, because I can't download any apps after this, saying "network error".

So my current workaround is to keep 2 versions of cacerts.bks, and swap them whenever I need to use citrix receiver.

I am suspecting that android market could be keeping this cert for it's own use hence did not include it in their list. If that's the case it would be quite a stupid design decision. I hope I am wrong.
[XPERIA X10 General] bluedawe:
Hi!

Would you, please give steps here?

The article has been removed from citrix site...

Thank you.
[XPERIA X10 General] jbomxda:
Workaround...

I found a workaround for this Citrix Reciever issue when using Gingerbread ROMs. When my phone was running on Froyo I had no issues using the receiver. So I went back to Froyo on my phone where the receiver worked fine, and copy the cacerts.bks located in /system/etc/security to my machine (using adb pull command). Then I installed my Gingerbread ROM again and copy this certificate from my computer over the one in Gingerbread ROM in the same location (using adb push command), and Citrix Receiver works! I'm not sure what newer things the Gingerbread cacerts.bks have, as there is a substantial difference between both files (61391 Froyo vs 143095 Gingerbread), but everything seems to be working normal, including Market.

Hope this works for others the same it worked for me. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ingineru:
I have the same problem on SGS running 2.3.5

Problem is i am using itnernal certificates; i have imported the root ca certificate ( it said it installed it from sdcard ) but i still receive that the server certificate is invalid.....

I choose then to accept the certificate but it does not open published applications or desktops ( connection error )

Needless to say that it is working flawalessly from windows mobile or iphone
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abhi_UK:
I have made a swap partition with Amon RA 1.7 which is 256mb and have set up swapper 2. It informs me that swap is working but only 50-90mb of swap at one time.

How do I make it use all/most of it or at least half 128mb of swap?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Your best option is to get rid of the swap.

YOU DON'T NEED SWAP!

All it will do is make your phone SLOW.

If you think otherwise, it is only because you perceive whatever it is that you BELIEVE, which in this case is WRONG.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abhi_UK:
No but i am using a sense rom(Legend) which absolutly needs it. Many have compared with and without and some roms don't even work with swap (sense roms). It is also better than compcache alone or swap and compcache.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
Abhis right, sense needs it and it's worth it on any Donut.

That's kinda odd that all of it's not being used. Look at swapper 2 settings and make sure swpa size is set the same as the amount of your swap partition. However, 256 is WAAAAY overkill even for sense. 128 is MOST you'll EVER need, but 96 is more reasonable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cobusk:
I used to have an LG Viewty, and I hated it. Absolutely loathed it. The only thing worth having on the phone was the slow motion video recording - 120 frames/second.

I know this is a slightly niche feature, but as a golfer I found it really useful. Seeing that people have been able to enable things like 720p recording, will it theoretically be possible to increase the frame rate as well? So lower res, but with a frame reate of at least 50? Or is this a fundamental thing with the sensor?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Piny12:
Bump.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S and my girlfriend has got a S8500 Wave. She can do high-fps videos with her camera app, but in the Galaxy S its not available.

Im wondering what causes this, as far as I know both mobiles have nearly the same hardware specs, so the Galaxy S should be able to do slow motion capturing. Only thing different between the phones is that the Wave runs badaOS while the SGS runs Android.

Would it be possible to tweak the camera to allow it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FrameCityJackal:
Necro, could this be possible to do with a app or something...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HamSummit:
is there realy noone who knows anything about this? i think its a realy cool feature that has to work somehow since the DroidX has slomo capturing.. I searched everywhere but it seems noone is interested..

Does anyone know anything about it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AndroidFreud:
I'm really interested in knowing more about this as well. I actually ended up buying the Viewty at the time, simply due to the niche slow motion feature and since I'm into animation, I used that as a quick reference tool to study motion.

This would be an awesome niche feature as most of the high-end smartphones coming out now seem to be quite similarly spec'd. I currently have a HTC DHD and did look around initially for something like this to get slow mo but no result.

Wish more people would take interest into it.

Maybe we should screen the entire season of Spartacus again to get everyone interested again, eh? :D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Thooperman:
Hi,

I am currently looking at using either LauncherPro or ADW Launcher, but I have become accustomed to using the Samsung Feeds and Updates Widget and the Samsung Buddies Now widget. Is there any way I can place these widgets onto a screen in the alternate launchers? I saw in the apps section that someone has posted all the apk files for the different apps, but it seems they're system apps and I couldn't work out if there's a way to use them.

I hope someone can help!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moonrock:
I just asked the same thing in the Vibrant forum -- anyone? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bensonburner:
I am using a Samsung Epic 4G. This phone is awsome and launcher pro makes it even more awsome. You can use tw launcher and some samsung widgets with launcher pro, in a round-about kinda way, because launcher pro gives you the ability to customize dock tray icons. This method will allow you to have upto 19 home screens or just the widget you want.

Make launcher pro you default launcher. This is important since you can not change the dock tray icons in the 2 stock launchers of the phone. Tap the 'home' button

On the dock tray bar choose an icon to change. ( I chose an icon on my main dock bar. you can have upto 15 dock tray buttons in launcher pro from what I can tell)

Long press that dock button til the option appears, "Edit dock shortcut".

Choose, "Change shortcut".

Now tap the launcher pro icon that says, "Activities".

Wait, it sometimes takes awhile for the activities menu to pop up.

After it opens you can scroll down and you see Buddies Now. Expand it and tap the buddies now widget control.

You now have a dock menu button that is probably easier to access than scrolling thru screens for Buddies Now.

After I did that, I thought, maybe I could change the dock button to launch TW launcher. So, I changed the buddies now icon to the TW launcher and changed another icon to the stock launcher. Now all I do is tap the TW launcher icon and my home screen there has the buddies now widget. I only need to tap the phone's home button to take me back to launcher pro and my default home screen.

Pretty cool. Thanks Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro Plus is well worth the $2 since it allows you to size widgets.

My SGS arrived in hand yesterday, and works as a charm.

Kies does not :-(

Problem is that when Kies starts it locks up my keyboard and mess up mouse clicks. It seems that the 'alt gr' or 'ctrl' buttons get stuck in some way. The only thing that works on my keyboard is the "€" sign which get typed if I press the 'e' key (should usually require the 'alt gr' simultaneously. Right clicking does not work, and left click seems to hold down like if the 'shift' is pressed. The scrollwheel does zoom as if the 'ctrl' is permanently down too. USB connection and sync works OK.

Only remedy is to shut down the PC :confused:

I am the only one which has experienced this? Any ideas what could be wrong?

Ive tried all the 'normal' procedures ( rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling etc.) Even tried to figure out if there was processes og services causing this and killing them without luck.

I'm running Kies on a Dell D830 laptop, 8GB ram, Win7 professional.

Any help appreciated :-)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rampehh:
Hey guys,

I'm on stock Desire ROM and have a question:

I don't know if it irks anyone else, but having to press end call on the screen (which can go away, i know it goes to notifications too, but still a little fiddly for my like) annoys me a little. I'd much rather be able to press a button on the desire to end a call quickly rather than fiddling around finding end call.

Is there any way to map a button so that it ends the current call if one is active?

I know you can assign long press of the search key to actions, can you do this with the back button? Could i long press the back button to end calls?

Thanks in advance

but i don't knw how to rejoin the unallocated 500MB and the fat32 space together using gparted can someone tell me how can i do that?

Copy everything off yout fat32 partition to your computer, then go to the Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Manager

There you'll see a list of the partitions of your SD card.

Remove all partitions.

Create new partition that uses all the space.

Format partition with Fat32.

Copy data back from the computer to SD card.

Done.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please look at the guide at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1735

You need to add adb to your path variable.

If you don't want to do this, just put the contents of my folder into the same folder as adb. Then you should be fine.

This is not issue with the rooting method (which is now tested by several reliable people) - it is your adb setup that's the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
The only failed attempt was your failure at understanding your own operating system. That error means you don't have the location of your SDK tools folder in your path variable.

Please don't out and out call something a failure until you're sure that you're not doing anything wrong.
