Although this is not a direct response to which high-end games are working ...I was shocked to find out that even psx4droid works.. presently have Final Fantasy Tactics running on my xperia x10... it still boggles my mind

Other platforms that presently work include:

Super Nes - SNesoid

Gameboy - Gameboid lite

Going to update my psx4droid bios so that i can try to play "Vagrant Story" :):):p:cool:

ExZeus looks like a great game. Too bad you have to pay for it and theres no other way around... Not a hardcore gamer on my phone so probably wont pay for games and plus the fact that I dont have 3G and need WiFi. Id rather play Exteel on my comp o_O

Is there a way to change sound level for SMS notification during a call? Its a bit annoying, and I can't find any option for this in the phone...All other phones I had before used to make short bip sound when message is received during a call, bit Desire plays normal, too loud incoming SMS tone. Tnx

Hi All!

I ***sucessfully*** rooted my X10A.

In the process, I have deleted the default and all existing Input Method. I have no keyboard!!!

What do I do?!!

I downloaded the HTC Keyboard, tried to install thru the InstallAPK windows app, but it's not working , it keeps blabbing about no device detected.

Help...
[XPERIA X10 General] karthigan:
Resolved!

Hey!

I managed use the root commands to install the HTC keyboard.

Does anyone where to get the original SE keyboard template.

Please?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] dundun1701:
The HTC IME mod is much better than the original SE keyboard, i think you should give it a try.
[XPERIA X10 General] Thol:
don't panic !

You can activate the defaut input (maybe Htc IME) :

Push Menu key (left key) / param / country param / choice a keyboard

Open an application wich ask to use a input (like web browser) long push on the input (url) field, a context menu will appeared chose an input again..

retry to fill a field, the keyboard work now...

Il it not work, you can install one, with the adb command line (from your computer)
[XPERIA X10 General] karthigan:
Thanks...

Thanks...

I got the HTC keyboard installed, and it's great!

Now, regarding loaders or the main screen template, which one is the best?

I am currently using the default, which is factory-reset of 023 firmware (which got me into the loosing the keyboard situation in the first place).

I need a loader / main screen that can do pages left and right, not just down.

Not everyone has an iSheep on their hip... I love my 32GB Zune HD. The audio DACs on the Zune are far better than the iPod. Not saying the Zune has the best, but a damn sight better than apples. Besides, Zune charges 15$ a month for 10 songs to keep then all the music that can fit on their player. Much better than 99c a song.

[Streak 5 General] lesday:
Hi all

I have searched the site and the net so please forgive me if I am asking a question that's already been addressed, but I am having real trouble encoding video that will play on my streak.

I am using hand brake on a mac, a few people have suggested on other sites that using the iphone standard settings should produce a video that will play correctly but when I copy it to the device I get the broken video icon, I have tried various different h264 settings but the video is jittery and there is a lot of artifacting.

Has anybody got any ideas? Is it possibly because I am using a mac?

Any help is greatly appreciated
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
bro, use rockplayer. it plays .avi perfectly. just download tv show/movie and whack it straight onto msd card and your good to go. google: rockplayer apk
[Streak 5 General] lesday:
Thanks for that, I'll try it right now
[Streak 5 General] zero.fx:
Yes i also use rockplayer its pretty sweet since it plays avi, and just to say handbreak on my mac does work and i used the iphone profile and converted videos that the streak was able to play straight away.
[Streak 5 General] courtlandre:
Rockplayer works great and so does encoding using the standard iphone profile.

Not sure how you could do it with the stock app ( without finding & editing the proper code ) but i know Handcent SMS & chompSMS both allow you to change the MMS limit plus they have great other features as well.
[EVO 4G General] jpwhre:
i tried handset but I get double notice on texts. How do I change that?
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
go to the stock messaging app, menu>settings, then disable notifications. you'll only be notified through handcent/chomp

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
You can tell if its branded as you will have the phone carriers wallpapers, ringtones etc added to your phone. When 2.2 comes out if you are on branded you are most likely going to be the last person in the world to get the update unlike unbranded phones. Some phone carriers also like to print a logo of the phone carrier on the casing of the phone.

as a guess if you go to :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

the rom you will need if it is branded is the RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00 .28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed.exe

[Streak 5 General] versp:
Probably I'm just new, but since after rooting it, it slowly ran out of battery as phones do, but now I'm unable to switch it on. Tried several ideas but to no avail.

I guess it isn't a big deal, I can always return it to the store later today and ask for a replacement since I only bought it last week.

Whilst I'm here, anyone think it's worth dropping this and switching it for another one whilst I'm at it.
[Streak 5 General] AuirR:
Empty battery? Maybe you should charge it for a while.

won't boot

Hi, my dell streak is only three weeks old, but all of a sudden won't boot. Haven't done anything I shouldn't have. Have just downloaded a few apps, was using it at night and woke up in the morning to find it was off and can't be switched on. Took the battery out and put it back on again. Pressed the shutter button along with the power button, and held down the volume keys along with the power button, nothing seems to make a difference. Can someone help please!
[Streak 5 General] fards:
try charging it for a while?
[Streak 5 General] *Omnipresent*:
Take it back to the store and get a replacement, if its still under warranty.
[Streak 5 General] Shvetaketu:
Hi Guys, thanks for your replies. It's working now, this is what happened:

I woke up in the morning to find my phone switched off and I couldn't switch it on. I connected the main power charger for 5 mins, then laptop for 5 mins to charge but neither helped. The defect I think is in the charger. I left the phone connected to the laptop for a few hours, then switched it on to find it still wouldn't switch on. Then disconnected the sync cable, took the battery out, and put it back in - and voila, it switches on!

Issues: charger failed in two weeks; the streak doesn't switch on when the battery is down even if it's connected to a source of charging (in this case, laptop). Dead battery - charge - take battery out - put it back in - switches on.
[Droid Incredible General] generic.imitation:
I talked to a verizon rep yesterday as well as a supervisor, and during that call the supervisor told me that because of the supply issues with the phone the worry free guarantee has been extended to 60 days. I figured someone here might be happy about that news, and I haven't seen it announced anywhere.

The situation in how I found out:

I'm replacing this phone with a moto droid x, because I've had the same issues with both my original inc, and the replacement. They first told me I couldn't get a different device because I accepted the replacement. I asked them where they have the policy that says this, and they all pointed me to the 1 paragraph sales pitch on their website, and then reminded me I was outside my 30 day window anyway. I said where does it say I cannot get a different device, there is no information regarding the policy, also if my phone wouldn't have taken 35 days to be replaced I would still be within my window. Then eventually I learned of the 60 day return policy when I spoke with a supervisor.

Problems with both phones:

Both phones don't work in the car dock unless it's grounded, also when I plug it into my aux port it starts voice dialing or skipping tracks in pandora all crazy like. It's because the headphone jack isn't made properly, it thinks I'm hitting a button on a headset constantly. I've used 4 or 5 different cables and get the same result. Never had this issue with any phone before.

1 thing that isn't wrong with my phone tho is I can hold it any way I like and still get a great signal :D

I've had the tp1 and tp2 then moto droid, and now the droid inc.
[Droid Incredible General] PyRo_DuDe:
Don't think I'm being rude here, but where does it say that anywhere in writing? The CSR's will do ANYTHING to get you off the phone; they'll promise you the world.

I talked to someone on Saturday to ask a couple questions about the billing on my account, and turns out the guy signed my wife's line up for a few additional features without asking. So once we realized, on Monday, I called up and got it adjusted. While talking to the guy who was taking the features off, I asked about my Dinc's backorder, and he said "Oh, I'm sure it'll ship 4 or 5 days earlier than the ship date we quoted you when you bought it." Really? Because that would mean that THOUSANDS of people have canceled their Dinc orders, and I don't buy it. Not yet, anyway. Maybe come Thursday, when they get the X in their hand.

Anyway, I would take this news with a grain of salt until we get something in writing on VZW letterhead.
[Droid Incredible General] generic.imitation:
I agree with you about customer service reps being shady, I had a guy replace a phone for my wife under the 30 day window back in march, he said it was a free replacement from an eris to abb storm 2. When I shipped back the eris I still had the charge for the bb on my bill. Every time I called during the 30 day window about getting the charge off they said it will come off at the next billing cycle. On day 31 I called back because it was still there and was told by everyone and their mother that I had to eat the 530 dollars because it's over the 30 day return window. The sales rep that originally "helped" me was a predatory sales man, and noone there would give me a straight answer on any call until I couldn't return it.

All I was saying is that a supervisor told me that because they've never had a situation like this before, that they were extending the window to 60 days. If you're in that window, try and see if it's true or not. We all know how shady some verizon reps can be.
[Desire General] berre:
Hi all,

switched from Magic to Desire (with launcherpro) and loving the phone!

However I have a strange problem which limits my creativity :p

I'm not able to find a couple of contacts in applications such as bettercut and quickdial... funny thing is that I added these contacts in my favourites.

I've removed them from favourites thinking this had something to do with it but no luck... even after recreating the contact I still don't see it in bettercut or quickdial

Anybody any thoughts? I know I can create a direct-call shortcut with android itself but then it takes the normal contact-picture and I want to use another one

cheers

CM6 truly is full of awesome. Some people (like me) just tend to prefer stock counterparts over custom software. To be specific, I want to install the stock Launcher and Music apps. ADW Launcher and the modified music player are good, but as a UX Designer, I find the stock counterparts smoother at the moment.

This is weird. Pushing didn't work. Both ADW Launcher and the custom music app are still here...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
They have different names. Pushing DOES work. You have to uninstall ADW and music app with rm commands.

adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

Not entierly sure but the same goes for Music app...

The stock music app is called MusicGoogle.apk

The Cyanogen is just called music.apk.

so..

adb shell rm /system/app/music.apk

Remember to push the other files before removing these apk's..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Always MAKE A BACKUP before removing any APK file, or any other file for that matter.

adb pull /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk backups/ADWLauncher.apk

adb push backups/Launcher2.apk /system/app

Put them in your tools folder, then

cd/

adb remount

adb push whatever.apk /system/app

If you see numbers, it's pushed. If you want to remove stock apps

adb devices

adb shell

rm /system/app/whatever.apk

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KaiF83:
Hi,

I tried out Quake 2 for android from here :

Not allowed to post links yet... its on sites.google.com

and it looks pretty slick. In the running demo I get about 65-70 fps. However sadly I'm not able to play since the configuration from the config.cfg file is set for different type of phone. They use volume up and down buttons to navigate and some other hardware buttons (Kamera/Zoom/Home) to fire and other stuff.

Anyone knows how I need to configure this file to remap e.g. the Home or the Back button to some commands on the Galaxy S? With the config file that you can create from the menu for touchscreen phones all hardware buttons act normal (volume, home, back).

If someone with a little more experience in this topic or someone already got this working, I'd appreciate any hints on how to get this awesome game working :-)

Thanks, Kai
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Adriaaaaan:
Its never going to be really playable until someone makes proper controls for it. I got it working by modifying the controls in the source code. Its very easy to do, I just made volume up do enter and vol down press up.

Hey Guys

Bought a G2 off a mate. Working fine for 3 weeks then dropped signal. Spoke to T Mobile they told me it was banned on the network. Due to insurance claim.

Is there any way of spoofing IMEI. (i know this can be done on Iphone etc).

I have had a HTC Compact before so know about updating roms unsigned etc.

Just not to sure with android.

Please help

Steve
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
What country are you in? If uk, then this discussion can't continue, as imei changing is totally illegal here.

I am in uk, so can't help I'm afraid. Go after the seller- some mate they are...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
a) This the development forum, not really the right place to ask it

b) Spoofing IMEI is illegal

c) whoever this was wasn't your mate. If he has claimed insurance on it (presumably claiming it stolen) then when the IMEI tries to connect to the network, the police could be involved and you could be accused of stealing it. Report whoever it is for insurance fraud, and quickly, before you get blamed for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Very true. The insurance company will usually take ownership of a device in the event of a claim, so you are handling stolen goods, and potentially a knowing party to fraud. Be careful...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
If its the UK (and certain other countries) the carrier should be suing "your mate" for insurance fraud the second they found out you had the handset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
He isnt a mate if he has done that, Go to the police station and report him as selling you a stolen phone....that way you wont get arrested for being in possetion of stolen goods..if you were successful and if there as a way of spoofing imei you could get done for fraud..

Out of curiosity how much did you pay?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apesgrapes:
worth telling your mate that its now banned, he might not have realised. tell him you understand then get your money back.

if his contacts are still on the phone threaten to text his mam.

Or just give him a beating with the hero!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophaq:
he can get done for GBH, as it's a BRICKed hero.lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbaracki:
first, call again to T-Mobile and ask for reason of IMEI ban (phone stolen or lost)

They should give you that information.

(I know bcause few months ago was in similar situation, but I bought already banned)

Depending of results - if phone is described as stolen - immediately go to police!

If is described as lost - try to get informations about insurance - which company insured phone, contact them prove that bought it legally, show them all needed documents etc.

Also you can try get your money back and return phone to seller.
