Ok, well now you all got me really craving to try a froyo rom. CM6 or kaosFroyo? Mostly concerned with stability.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I'm talking only by my own experience, CM6. I tried both (last version I used of K.F. was 21) and I've had such great results with CM6 and very mixed results with K.F. but that's just me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
I run kaos Frayo V24 and its amazingly fast and no force closes only thing not in this for us the camera do t have a preview( use camera magic from market) and flash isn't there yet, other than that kaos V24 is fastest smoothest Frayo Tom out there that I've tried and slot of people.check the kaos Frayo thread out it's awesome.

Chalk one up for tazzpatriot's port of Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 v3 hero port. (not the RC DS 1 G1 Port)

http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=724090&page=1

I forget what exactly, but something about it works that DOESN'T work in KaosFroyo that is necessary for me for a daily ROM. I'll edit this post if I remember it.

All of the devs do a spectacular job on their ROMs though. I would venture a bet that KaosFroyo is a much cleaner, better put together ROM as a result of Kaos's fantastic understanding of Android and how general computer stuff works.

The default launcher on elb is out dated. What i did was download launcherpro then go in and delete adwlauncher from system/app and just use launcherpro. It is alot faster after doing that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] matthelmi:
O that would explain a lot. Did the default launcher make your phone lag even in other apps? Like I noticed scrolling in the market was very slow...

I may just be missing this, but how do you turn off mobile view for websites using the native browser?

thanks in advance
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
I am looking for the answer to this too. I have searched high and low to no avail. Anyone have any luck with this?
[Vibrant General] SSJ_Gomike:
Same here and no luck myself.....love the browser but can't stand the default mobile view...

The answer? Download skyfire browser from market....on the Vibrant it appears that Skyfire just layers over regular browser (both run simutaneously) and you can still use the regular "Web" icon, but with the skyfire settings.....i'm using it and loving it right now :)
[Vibrant General] cashless:
The phone's default user agent is set to "mobile device" or something like that. Someone needs to either mod the browser to allow different user agents, like desktop browser, or needs to port over Loccy's browser.

Or you can use Steel, Dolphin, etc...
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
I posted this reply in a thread on the T-Mobile.com forums, so just in case it helps someone here, I'm copying and pasting...

Caution: We tried googling for a solution to enable desktop mode by default on the browser and found instructions on a few sites that had you enter "about:debug" in the browser address field, then hitting go, then going into Menu > More > Settings and scrolling to the bottom where you'd see another set of options under "Debug." From there, you would change UAString to "Desktop", however, this resulted in the browser crashing every time it was loaded.

We had to Hard Reset to get browser functionality back.

Note, I had heard a guy mention having the same experience in a Youtube video a while back when trying to change this setting on the unlocked Galaxy, but I was kinda hoping I'd get lucky with the Vibrant.​
[Vibrant General] daropedia:
The Phone's User Agent is :

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1-update1; en-us; SGH-T959 Build/ECLAIR) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

So basically the websites simply look for Android in that and say oh that's a phone, give them the mobile site.
[Vibrant General] silnismo:
try entering "about:debug" in the address field. Then go to browser settings. You should see an option where you can change the user agent to "desktop".
[Vibrant General] lpaddikt:
about:debug will make your browser crash all the time and then you have to clear the data for the browser in manage application to get it to work again. It doesn't work.
[Vibrant General] dublued:
How do i clear the browser data. It doesn't show up in the list of apps when I go to manage applications
[Vibrant General] g1ftmfw:
in manage applications press menu again and you will see running apps, 3rd party apps and all apps... select all apps and you will be able to see all apps on phone to manage data, clear caches, and restore defaults and such
[Vibrant General] Tairen:
OR you can go the easy route and click the menu button while the browser is open, click on more and settings..

Consider Dolphin Browser HD

I can see no drawback at all in using Dolphin Browser HD on this phone. It didn't perform too well on the G1. But works great on the Vibrant. Gestures, tabbed browsing, mobile view/desktop view, plugins etc.

[Vibrant General] mojo6911:
Is there anyway to do this from a command line if you have it rooted?
[Vibrant General] QwertyAccess:
Tried that myself last week, easy solution is go to manage applications, filter ALL apps and look for the browser app and just hit reset/clear or something like that. Didn't have to reset device.

Trying popping the SD card out and back in again. I remember coming across something like this in someone else's post, and it sounds familiar. Can't hurt to try...

You probably have to partition your sd card and enable apps 2 sd in the applications menu in settings
[Touch GSM General] lilpchan:
I cant turn on my device, the only thing that seems to work is the led, when I turn it on starts on green then orange and finalley red, Does anyone know what happened?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Does it work at all when plugged in to the mains power? Does teh charge led light up to display what is going on? Do you have another device/a multimeter that you can check the battery with. it could be that the battery has died / needs a long charge / doesn't want to work. Hopefully that is what it is, as if not, it could be something a lot more severe.

[Captivate General] ewingr:
Been reading through searchs on threads re: memory, and found a few, but not a lot.

How much memory?

First I'd like to get to an understanding of what I see with the memory tool and what the device is supposed to have: Specs I've read say the Captivate comes wiht 512MB of memroy. And of course with Android 2.1, they say it will only recognze 256.

Now, I just installed Memory Usage, and it reports this:

When I first boot up, and run it to check memory, I get these readings:

Total: 325MB Avail: 103MB

Active: 116MG Inactive: 141MB​

And it seems to vary from boot to boot.

I don't understand what I'm seeing in those readings. I presume the 325 is the total memory that is referenced when we say the memory is 512, but 256 availble. So why am I seeing 325?

Apps, Task Killers, et al

Moving on to a controversial topic. I have experimented with this a bit, and read quite a few posts with varying opinions on the topic. In general a person can say who knows who is right. But, it would seem that the information from a Google Resource talking on the subject officially in an interview, that we should assume they are right.

What did they say? (Sorry, I don't remember where the article was): Don't need task killers. Talked a lot about how memory is handled by Android.

During reading all that I installed one, and it seemed that what I was experiencing was the opposite like many others: memory shrinking; kill some tasks; turn on auto killer, and memory stayed considerably higher.

But after installing Juicedefender (per this interesting thread ) and messing with a bunch of more stuff I was starting to have freezes, lags, etc. (We've all heard that before). But then I somewhat am expecting to ultimately have to hard reset after doing all my experimentation.

But, after having someone in that thread say they weren't having much help from teh Auto killer, told me to remove it and see how it goes. I was thinking that my work in Juicedefender was causing my locks. When I did the things per that thread, my free memory jumped to 141, and later 151.

So, when its all said and done, I find the memory to not be consistent from one boot to the next. I find that sometimes there is a long list of apps that load at boot. I don't understand why some of the apps load at boot. I see Vlingo Voice in memory twice; I see Tapatalk Pro loaded. Earlier I saw several more.

This is long enough for one post. Curious what others have to think.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
I use ATK to kill apps once i'm done with them.

when ever I'm done with an app i usually do this (ocd) and I keep my memory up near 190mb.

people can say what they will it all depends on your phone's real world usage. I saw a benefit. but lets not forget, even 2.1 has a stock task killer. so it's not like you have to get a specific app
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
from what I understand, 512mb is installed, but only 315 is accessible with 2.1 Eclair. when 2.2 Froyo is released then it will be able to access the full amount of memory.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Now, all I can say is that if I don't use Auto Killer, the memory keeps getting smaller and smaller and the phone gets to where it won't work. And with Auto Killer, I still ultimately need to do the same thing. I don't know what to think about this.

Another strange thing: when I first reboot it, and go in and look at what is loaded with Auto Killer, its a long list of programs.

Any idea whats up with that?
[Captivate General] Kagoshema:
the way I understand it is that android tries to keep at least 90mb buffer between how much memory your using, and your max. then when you go into the 90mb it runs a garbage collector or starts dumping multitasked apps or something

then again it might only be doing that for apps and not processes

maybe someone with more knowledge can confirm/correct me?
[General Questions and Answers] Poryhack:
Yes you read correctly; I want an Epic, but I'm not willing to pay for a data plan. I just can't justify the price tag when I have access to free wifi 90% of the time I would want it.

I talked to a Sprint rep over the phone, and not surprisingly she said that I would not be able to get just a calling/text plan with any of their high-end Android phones. I asked if it would make any difference if I purchased the phone by itself for the full retail price, and she said no. Well whatever, I wasn't expecting much out of an official rep.

Now I'm here, because I would bet a substantial amount of money that this is somehow possible, whether it's something Sprint wants to tell me about or not. Although I'm not afraid to go a hackish route (and I somewhat expect to) a more legitimate way of doing it would be appreciated. If by some miracle I can still get the phone at the subsidized rate that would be a great bonus!

I have the stock rom rooted on my phone.. I need to have multiple exchange email accounts setup on my phone, which sense email doesn't allow, but vanilla android does. I have the vanilla email.apk, can i just push it to /system/apps and have it work correctly or is there somethign else that i need to do? sorry if this an easy/stupid question, but this is the first time i will be pushing anything into the system folder and want to make sure i know what I'm doing. Thanks in advance.

Yes am wondering how can i turn wifi completely off??

If i use google maps and then i go back to home ..i can see the wifi widget toggle says that is 'turning off' yet..i had gone to settings and specify for it to be turn off?

I had gone to settings too and specify to only receive data from gps and not wireless (just in case is trying to scan for a wifi router)

so has any body come across this? or has anyone found a solution for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
It's a bug with the current firmware, when you open google maps the wifi is enabled to help fix your location faster, it doesn't matter if you disabled it in the settings. It seems fixed in newer fw versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cavinsoo:
I noticed the same behaviour on my SGS too, but it's not due to Google Maps.

Everytime when I use the phone, the first few seconds it tries to turn off wifi. I made sure wifi is off everytime I finished using the phone or when I'm not in a wifi zone to save some battery.

This is pretty annoying.
[XPERIA X2 General] DOUD-FNO-:
hello guys,

i support all of the ppl who posted that X2 dev from SE is very poor and not followed right, no customer service like it should be, alot of complaints about slow performance and other S**T, i agree 100% this is a true fact, i deleted every single apps and left basics and still slow, sometimes freezes, need to take of D**N battery to restart..blabla memory card issue..blabla WE HAD ENOUGH.

sorry for the long introduction.

i don't know if XDA Dev ppl have done this.. am new here.

i googled WM 7 for SE Xperia X2..i found alot of articles and forums saying the X2 doesn't have required hardware. i mean COME ON!

is it possible?i believe it is for XDA, remove the non-sense apps and all the additional S**T ..would it be possible?

thank you
[XPERIA X2 General] dcarr622:
The Xperia X2 does not meet the minimum requirements for Windows Phone 7, nor does it have the requisite hardware buttons. Windows Phone 7 is unlikely to run on the X2 or any other phone with similar specs.

SE has pledged to several updates, so there definitely will be another ROM update or two coming down the pipe...whether or not they will fix your issues remains to be seen.

In general, please do more research before posting questions like this that have been answered before. Use the darn search button!
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
SE pledged 2 updates MR1 and MR2, both of which have been released, and have fixed a few issues. I have a useable X2 now which is good, the only annoying fault its the LED notifications. I don't think however anymore updates are due

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bzerk1:
So if you are on Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T. You're suppose to pay an extra fee to tether to different machines right? like an extra 10 or 20 based on what service. So if you use Wireless Tether, PDAnet, or a similar App. Does that allow you to tether without needing to pay the fee to your cellular service?

also i have a feeling we can use it anyways and if so, will they be able to track that our cell phones are tethering and charge us or not?
