You're an idiot, Android is the product of the Android Open Source Project. They do not make the phones. Legally any manufacturer can ship an Android non-Google branded device without Google's consent (albeit, lack of gapps).

Froyo, as every Android release, is coming with updated Bluetooth drivers and will fix many bugs found in Eclair and Donut. Gingerbread most likely will as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] alluzzion2o9:
I came in late with the G1 so i was able to pick up on roms that fixed much of the problems. I remember I flashed a rom and was upset the bluetooth wasn't working properly. Stupid me didn't realize the rom was still in beta. I just find it so weird all 3 of my bluetooths have different support for this phone.

I understand this, i just thought it was a good time to point out these flaws for devs to be aware of.... i contacted sirius via email and they told me they'd get on to fixing it... i have no idea if it was automated or something.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TomorrowSpace:
to put it in perspective. The G1 was Marilyn Monroe, The Slide is Khloe Kardashian (Kim with her Big Ole Kadunkadunk would have to be the mighty Galaxy S Variant dropping tomorrow).

They both have they're place and are hot in their own ways, but just like the comparison women the slide is is great underneath its outer shell with revamped cpu, room to grow and nice and trim in all the right places.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] alluzzion2o9:
Lol crazy/funnt comparison. Serious note, speaking of cpu... I can't wait to see how for mt3g slide can be overclocked.. I was so ready for the phone I bought it in red and fitted red and orange rubberized hard shells in a sort of iron man theme... too bad doesn't come in gold yellow.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
HOW DARE YOU COMPARE OUR BEAUTIFUL MTS TO THAT UGLY SLUT! Lol!

seriously though, our taste in women must differ greatly. Marilyn had a nice shapely butt, imo.

I guess I have a thing for the old school women. Anyways... when we get an update for the MTS... the kernel can be hacked and the CPU can be amped up more like it should be. My old G1 is dead even in linpack scores at 3.5 MF with my MTS running slide Mr1 v4. I'm sure the froyo beta would put it ahead at around 4.5-6 MF. I heard of some folks getting like 7-8mf but I'm not sure if I believe that...

Eeeek! That's fast! JIT is doing it's job. Man, I wish we could figure out a way to enable JIT on 2.1! I've been working on it tonight with no luck so far.

I tried the old libdvm.so file but just bootloops, lol! That's what's making froyo so damn fast. Plus, built in a2sd isn't working on froyo yet nor camera/camcorder right? I really need stability and the froyo tease won't do anything but make me angry, lol! I know folks are saying it's stable for everyday use but I don't know...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jriv:
Its pretty stable been about a week for me no random fc's only thing that bugs me is that I can't get flash to work when I take a picture.just do a nandroid and give it a shot I promises you the speed will make you stock with it.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
Yeah, the camera drivers definatly are perfected yet. I tried it last night and wow its fast! Even with lwp running with all my widgets. Yep, its twice as fast as slidemr1 v4.... the only bummer is that I couldn't get a2sd to work. I formatted the whole SD to fat32 and still nothing. No partitions either. I guess I could play with it more... flashed back last night because I ran out of time. I might just wait a bit longer for a more stable Rom. But it was fun for sure...

How do i get it to download all file types, i tried downloading a zip file and it came up with this file is not supported , i have it rooted and have a file manager, it may be simple but i am new to android :)
[Streak 5 General] fards:
do you mean download through a browser?

if you long press the link doesn't it give you an option to save it ?

zip support is built in I think, certainly astro handles them easily.

personally I tend to use xscope-gl (1.6 version) to grab files now as it supports pretty much anything.
[Streak 5 General] wondercoolguy:
Download a program called androzip its safe and it works awesome.
[Streak 5 General] fracmo2000:
Use another browser as I found the default Android browser wouldnt let me download zip,rar or apk files. Dolphin is a tweaked android browser, which works great. I think you can download an HD version...which might suit the 5" screen better. Check it out before you buy :)

I wasnt as descriptive I should have been. If you download androzip it makes zip recongizable for download and it will open them as well. Also if you need to send any file over gmail you go through androzip. Open it go to the file tap on it and choose send, no zipping required.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Thanks for all the replys guys downloaded android zip and another browser and all is well thanks :)
[Streak 5 General] lesday:

[Streak 5 General] elbowz:
If you install Astro file manager that has an option to allow any file to download in the default browser... its worth having anyway as its a great file manager...
[Captivate General] Jack45:
4.5 out of 5 stars

[add www. in front of link]

pcworld.com/reviews/product/572704/review/captivate.html

Pros

Stunning Super AMOLED Display

Thin and lightweight design

Cons

Can't install third-party apps

Performance can be a bit sluggish

Bottom Line

The Samsung Captivate has a dazzling display, a bevy of multimedia and social networking features, and a killer camera.
[Captivate General] photojunky:
Wow, with the custom ROM's coming out they would put this 5/5. I like this phone much more then I did my iPhone 3GS.

"can't install 3rd party apps" is actually very misleading. You can use the sideload wonder machine app on your computer without even having to root your phone. http://www.androidcentral.com/sideload-android-apps-all-you-want-sideload-wonder-machine
[Captivate General] jc2470:
I think they mean without having to use any other software, as in verizons droids they didnt disable it on those have option to enable with default being disabled, while att removed the option all together.

Is kinda easy to set your phone up for 3rd party apps, just need to be rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] darkevilsta:
After reading about all the good android phones out right now, I have finally come down to 3. However, since I have never owned an android phone, I dont know which one I should buy. Right now I use an iPhone 3GS so this will be something different.

All three have about the same specs hardware wise. Its just a matter of longevity because I will use the phone for at least the next two- three years. The Desire and Xperia look future proof, but the Samsung's screen and its thinness are also tempting. The only downside to it that I see is that it has a 5 MP camera with HD recording, yet no flash. But if there are other features in it, then they would outweigh the lack of no flash

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] ohyeahar:
If you want "future proof", the x10 is out for the following reasons:

-no multi touch

-still on Android 1.6 with 2.1 coming in Q4 while other manufacturers ship with 2.1 with 2.2 coming.

It would be a toss up between the Galaxy S and the Desire for me. The Galaxy S is suppose to outperform the Desire but it's not like the Desire is slow in any way...
[General Questions and Answers] darkevilsta:
By no multi touch, do you mean that sony hasnt put it in, or is it that the hardware itself doesnt support it?

Then if its between the galaxy and desire i think ill just get desire because ive used the iphones camera in some places without light, and it was just black. I think if i get the galaxy then the same thing will happen. at least the desire has a flash and is supported.

thanks for helping me out
[General Questions and Answers] murtazaaksoy:
I have both X10 and Galaxy S, to be honest Galaxy S is faster and smoother than X10. and Galaxy has unlimited touch (I tried 5-point) and desire has double touch which has lags(you can find some multitouch test between desire and galaxy s). So in my opinion Galaxy S is better in any way.
[XPERIA X10 General] masterofp:
After PC Companion's update today, I've noticed that it has some new features (like use the phone as modem, calendar and contacts sync) but after connecting the X10 to the computer they are gone.

My firmware is R2BA020.
[Desire General] sk8erkedo:
I am totally agreed with you.

I did a side by side comparison with desire and galaxy in the shop sometime.

Desire after using atk, 310mb

Galaxy s after using atk. 130mb

that's the big difference!!!

[Desire General] czepluch:
Hello.

I'm pretty sure i bricked my HTC desire yesterday when trying to flash LeeDroids Mod. My phone hangs at the three green HTC letters and it has been like this the whole night. I've tried taking out the battery and things like that but it still hangs. Even when triyng to do a recovery. So i searched the forum to find out how to unbrick the phone and i found a nice thread that explains how to get acces to the SD again and then how to unbrick the USB connection. But I havent been able to try this out yet since i cannot find out how to enter commands when in fastboot. I know I need to be connected with a USB-cable to the PC, but what else do I have to do?

Hope someone can help 'cause I would really love to have my HTC Desire working again so that i can try out more cool FroYo mods from this lovely forum.

- Czepluch
[Desire General] AndroHero:
you have to use adb, google the android sdk and start there :rolleyes:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
All you need to do is boot into FASTBOOT, plug in your USB and run an RUU to get back to stock (assumg one is available for your phone) and then root again, had to do it myself the other day
[Desire General] cgrec92:
you do not have to do ANY of this

if you are using clockworkmod or any custom recovery then there is the option to mount USB storage in which you can put on a backup or any other rom onto your sd card, unmount usb storage, and flash it, all in one.
[Desire General] czepluch:
How do I do that when my phone doesnt boot? As i wrote in the first post it is stock at the 3 green HTC letters. I was using clockworkmod to flash, but as I wrote i cannot boot into andoid atm.

@AndroHero: Can you please give me a link or something? I have tried a lot of things, but i doesnt seem to work, so I would like to be certain that the link and guide im using is right.
[Desire General] dnlgee:
Do you have the fake-flash zip file renamed as update.zip and at the root of your SDCard?
[Desire General] czepluch:
yes i do :)
[Desire General] dnlgee:
Have you booted the phone while holding the volume down and then selecting recovery, then when recovery boots, press volume up and power then select "apply update.zip" ?
[Desire General] czepluch:
The problem is that when i choose recovery it freezes aswell. The screen with the phone and the little red triangle freezes, so i cannot choose recovery.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
So do what I said here...to get into FASTBOOT hold back and power it on
[Desire General] czepluch:
What is RUU?

Edit: Maybe I need someone to make a step by step noob guide? Im totally lost. Ive flashed my Desire lots of times before and ive never had a single problem, but right now i really dont know what to do and how to do?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you're asking questions about RUU's then maybe rooting wasn't for you. It's basic stuff. You need a grasp of the basics before trying something advanced!

Basically it's the official ROM file from HTC/your phone vendor...
[Desire General] czepluch:
Okay. Thanks. I thought that RUU was something like that but I just couldnt see how i should be able to acces any files right now. As i wrote before the phone freezes at the picture of a phone with the red triangle, and i am not able to get any further that that. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me how and what to do next?
[Desire General] vrmp:
I had the same problem a few days ago. For me it worked to just go through the rooting process again, you can find the steps on modaco (just step 1 of r6), I can't link them at the moment I'm at work and it seems I can't open modaco from here.

Anyways if you follow step 1 you can access the recovery again and the phone will boot past the HTC logo screen.

Also these steps are well documented on modaco.

Try this first since it will save you the step of running the RUU, which I wasn't able to (somehow the software complained my battery was below 30%, which it wasn't)

Good luck hope this solves it for you.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You don't need to go into recovery! boot into FASTBOOT and then leave it at that. Plug the phone in and it will then say FASTBOOT USB. Then run the RUU your phone came with originally. You don't need to go anywhere near Recovery
[Desire General] czepluch:
I am pretty certain that ive found a solution now. I deserve a fist in the nuts for being so stupid not to press volume up + power when trying to get into recovery mode. But fortunately dnlgee asked if i had remembered this. :) Now that ive gotten this far i should be able to solve the rest. I will however return if im still unable to solve it.
[Desire General] vrmp:
Ah I missed that part, I couldn't access recovery either. Only thing left working was fastboot for me. All other options would hang on the HTC logo screen.

[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Masen:
Hi!

I´ve been using Thumbcal for about a year now. I had a Touch Cruise where it ran without any probs in Winmo 6.5. (used last version of Thumbcal)

Now I´ve bought a HD mini and I got problems...

I discovered that, when I have an appointment I CAN`T open the app from homescreen... All other shortcuts to the app works! BUT if I delete/move all my appointments of the day so it´s

no appointment on the homescreen

, then it´s possible to open up the app!

(I have disabled the default calender tab.)

What´s wrong, someone else recognize this? Thanks in advance!

Ps: I also put the question here...
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] bart3385:
There's no problem with ThumbCal. It's a great app.

The problem lies with the Sense UI. The homescreen calendar link is built to work only with the calendar tab. As we all know, the calendar tab is a crippled, super-slow, useless app.

You'll have to use other ways to bring up ThumbCal. Homescreen calendar link won't work.

Options:

1. Pin ThumbCal to quick links.

2. Use Bsb Tweak to pin ThumbCal to left soft key of Sense homescreen. (Replacing the "Phone" app)

3. Position ThumbCal on the upper rows of Start Menu icons. That way, it will be easy to access the app anytime from anywhere. Without the need to swipe up.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] 6gex:
Hello !

replace HTC calendar with Thumbcal

Sure, very easy: open Thumbcal app -- push left-bottom button -- Settings -- check "Set as default calendar" and "Set as default tasks app" -- Ok -- Exit.

Restart your Mini and... that's it! When you push calendar tab on home screen, Thumbcal will be the opening application :)

Tumpcal support have told me, that this settings do not have any effect aht hd mini. Do you have a magic trick?

Regards

Kuckuck
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] bart3385:
It's mostly likely the fault of Sense UI. Mini's Sense is inconsistent and buggy.

Here's how the weird behavior of Sense work:

1. If you have no regular appointments for the day, the calendar app on homescreen will be empty (showing only the word "Calendar"). In this situation, the link works. Touch the "Calendar", and it will bring you to ThumbCal or stock calendar. Whichever is set as default.

2. If you have regular appointments for the day, the homescreen calendar is not empty (showing a single upcoming appointment). In this situation, the link won't work. Nothing happens when you touch it. (This is probably where you're at. Giving you the wrong impression that ThumbCal won't work.)

3. If you have whole-day appointments. The homescreen calendar behaves as if there's no appointment for the day.

Weird. But that's Sense UI.

Try a homescreen link to ThumbCal, or change one of the homescreen softkeys instead. The Sense homescreen calendar is unreliable and useless.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] testerics:
No magic trick, I did only what I have been explained in my previous post. My HD Mini is opening the Thumbcal from homescreen when I touch "Calendar"...

Is working super fine with new skin Barreto SenseHVGA :)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] kuckuckmann:
Thx for your explanation :-)

In the moment I do not now how this helps me to solute my problem, sorry.

I am searchning for a solution to open thumbcal with calendar tab. I well know the possibility to create quicklinks or change softkey for opening thumpcal - but this ist just a workaround for me ;)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] kuckuckmann:
All right, thx for your fast reply :-)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] bart3385:
It won't work. You can open ThumbCal with the homescreen calendar only when it's empty. Trust me. I've been there. I've spent weeks trying to figure this out.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
There is no SMS inbox and outbox on Android. It was designed with threaded view in mind.

It would still be possible to query the SMS content provider and filter / arrange messages in an inbox/outbox fashion. I haven't found an app that does it and I have no interest in developing one on my own, but it's not really that hard for someone with a little bit of Android experience, so maybe this feature will pop up in some sms apps (i just doubt that there's any wide interest in it).
