[Android Apps and Games] gpw11:
I had this same problem, it was initially very hard for me to go from WinMo to Android for this reason (also, no spell check? WTF google). There is a mail app out there that supports push Hotmail (like WinMo) somehow. I believe it is called Seven or something along those lines....in beta and not in the Market.

I ended up just forwarding my Hotmail account to my Gmail one and using that. Hard to get used to, but certainly worth it for push support. You can also import all your messages in your hotmail account into your gmail archives (stored under a different label) through the gmail settings. Finally, you can toggle gmail to use your hotmail account as your return address if that's something important to you for whatever reason.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Anyone know why I can't get the CM6 Evo kernel (http://github.com/CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-supersonic) to boot? It compiles just fine with no changes made by myself. Just pulled straight from the git repo. However when I flash the zImage through fastboot (or make a boot.img for that matter) it does not boot. I have to flash the kernel from the CM6 build. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
can you run logcat? I'm not Android whiz yet, but I've fixed a broken linux install or two in my time as a sys admin. I might be able to point you in the right direction with the logcat output.

What point does it get to? Does it just get to the HTC screen and then never show the boot animation, or does the boot animation loop?

I didn't understand the last line of your post, are you doing this on the most recent CM nightly, or something else? Possibly even if you have the newest nightly there may have been breaking changes since it was spun, I've been too busy at work today to keep track of the commits as I typically do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
I'm just on the first cm build. I have compiled kernels before but this won't boot. And no logcat because I don't even get past the first splash. No boot animatin, no adb.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
I don't know the fix then, but if you look at the changelog (maybe check this feed, you don't need to have your own twitter account just to read the feed) there have been LOTS of kernel and framework changes since the first build, so it wouldn't surprise me if some sort of dependency between the kernel and the rest of the system is breaking.

I haven't ever tried, but I thought you could do something like start logcat on your computer before booting, then boot the phone to see the whole way through.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Sadly that won't work as the phone needs to at least boot past the first screen for adb to recognize it. I'll flash the newest build and see if that works but I don't think it should make a difference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
Vodafone had to issue me with a new number. With the old number the Status page correctly displayed my telephone number. Now it just says "Unknown". All Vodafone did was change my number, they did not issue a new sim card. Is there a way of resolving this ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
Yes.

You need a phone capable of setting the number on the SIM (usually termed 'My Number' or 'Own Number' in the menus). I used my girlfriend's iPhone 3GS (we're both on O2) to set the number on my SIM as the same thing was bugging me.

Future control to curb OEM enthusiasm

OSCON Google will crack open more of Android's development process but keep new versions of its mobile OS closed for competitive reasons.

The giant will change Android's Native code Development Kit (NDK) so that contributed code joins the publicly available Android source tree rather than going into Google's private tree.

There's no date for when the switch will take place, but it should follow a similar move on the Android Software Development Kit (SDK).

Public contributions won't be possible on un-released versions of Android though. That will remain hidden, and Android's development will remain a private affair.

[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
Hey guys, I'm wondering who has an unlocked X10 from Canada. I'm in Kingston, ON and I just got my X10 yesterday from Wireless Express. They're a certified Rogers dealer but when I got my phone, I couldn't unlock it. I have tried a lot of the unlocking services including mobileincanada.com, cellunlocker.net, some ebay dealer and several others but none of them work. All of the said they my IMEI wasn't in their database so they couldn't give me the unlocking code. So I'm wondering if there is anyone from Canada who has there phone unlocked could give me some advice. I'd like to know what store you bought the phone from cuz I think the problem is with my phone and not the unlocking service. I've heard that newer phones might not be in their IMEI database. I'm going to get a replacement or a refund so I can get it else where.

[XPERIA X10 General] RumpleStealthSkin:
I got mine from Rogers and the guy there gave me this: calgarycellunlockers(dot)com. They even have the contact number but you can do it online.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
Thanks. I just bought a new code for the X10 and they claim it's from the manufacturer, so it is 100% guaranteed to work. I hope it does. Thanks for everyone's help.
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
Is it me, or am I reading more recent messages about difficulties with finding unlock codes for Rogers X10a?

Did SE or Rogers change or are withholding the unlock codes from the third party service providers?
[XPERIA X10 General] bryanvincent:
Xperia requires new sim cards from rogers.., my x10 didn't accept my 2year old sim card unless i have the SIM registry unlock code (sounds like that)..,

so what i did, i switched sim card, and im still using my old number.., ask a rogers representative on how to do it..,
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
i had a similar problem with the service's online not being able to unlock mine. turned out that the ebay seller provided it to me. but it ended up in my spam mail and took about 3 days to find. quite frustrating.

You may try Htccode, they don´t look for the IMEI, intead the peforme a USB cable and software combination and it`s really fast.

[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
Looks like I'm having no luck here. This is my second X10 I've tried and I bought the manufacturer's code that's guaranteed to work 100% but...it didn't. And I think I've tried the code too many times that the phone locked itself. Now it says "SIM card locked. Contact Network operator" whenever I try to enter the code. Help, anyone? :(
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
A software unlock should be the last resort.

I don't know which unlocker unlocked my X10a, but I purchased it unlocked.

I had similar problems with my old Ericsson Rogers cell that no one could get the code for. Stupid Rogers wouldn't provide me with the code even though the phone was almost a year old, and I was then with its sister network.
[XPERIA X10 General] ferraripassion:
Cable unlock is your only option.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
Do you know where I can get the cable unlock? Right now cellunlocker.net owes me money so I hope they have that service as well. Thanks for the info, appreciate it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Try having a local store or CL person do a software unlock, which shouldn't take long. The problem is that you would need to give them the phone and wait, and it will cost more than cheaper online number unlocking.

Maybe try calling Rogers and attempt to persuade the customer service agent to provide the unlock code since you're with Fido. You might be fortunate enough to get connected with a knowledgeable rep who is sympathetic.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
You mean Craigslist? i can give it a try. I was thinking of calling the Rogers customer service but I thought they don't support unlocking the phone? but at the same time I bought it at retail price which was $550 plus tax :( Thanks for the info.

I'm new here (not new to mobile development, just xda) and I tried searching but didn't find any answers so here goes:

Does the EVO come with stock music files and photos? I only ask because I noticed a handful of songs that were on the SD card (assuming they're MP3 but not certain) and I'm not sure if they're supposed to be there or not. There were also some pictures, but they appeared to be standard stock photos and nothing special.

I bought two evos and one had a cosmetic defect; I didn't get much time to play with that one however I don't recall seeing any stock songs preloaded.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noxious Ninja:

So, I have read that it's an issue with all Froyo ROM's on the EVO... You can't see paid/protected apps in the Marketplace; supposedly, the apps not showing are not verified to work on Froyo.

Could someone just patch the build_prop like they did on the Nexus One before Google released the official fix?

If anyone wants to tackle it, the dev of the N1 fix explained what needs to be done here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=693102

I don't have an EVO, nor am I much of a developer; but I just rooted my friend's EVO and was looking for a fix for him when I realized that the N1 had a very similar issue when it was running leaked versions of Froyo.

Just throwing it out there... I could be way off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
I think this should be easy to do. Theoretically you should be able to take buildprop swticher v0.3.1.zip and replace /buildprop/build.2.1 with the build.prop from stock and /buildprop/build.2.2 with the build.prop from CM6 and then follow the directions from that post.

I'm about to test it out myself and see if it works...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inneyeseakay:
Let me know... If it does, could you post the build.prop files that you used?

EDIT: Awesome to see another SC member! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
Okay, first attempt boot looped. I think build.2.1 needs to be a 2.2 build.prop modified to look like 2.1 because the stock 2.1 build.prop won't work with 2.2. Should've looked at that more instead of rushing :D Going to see if I can find the lines to change real quick, gotta go back to work in a few minutes...

It also cleared my Google Account settings haha... trying a new modification but may not be able to upload anything until tonight!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inneyeseakay:

Just printed and compared the build.props for the N1 fix and see that there are only 2 lines that were changed. If someone wants to provide me with a 2.1 build.prop and the CM6 build.prop, I might be able to get this working.

Yep. Even tried pushing it while still in recovery, right after wiping and flashing the ROM. Still a no go

Edit: the to.build.fingerprint is the "fingerprint" it shows when it accesses the Market. So its how the Market decides what apps to show, and sees what kind of device it is & its version

Hmmm...editing fingerprint and description *SHOULD* work but it did not work when I tried adding the fingerprint/description from Avalaunch's Froyo ROM. It seems that Ava's Froyo ROM fixed the missing apps issue. It's so very bizarre that we can't get certain market apps to show on CM6 and drives me crazy.

ok this is what we did on the Hero when we was with 1.5 and got the leak of 2.1 the market didnt show all the apps so we just change it with the nexus one, so i am guessing maybe we can get a 2.2nexus one build.prop and push it to the Evo, make sure to clear the market chache though , it took like 5-6hours for the apps to start showing up on the Hero!! just an Idea:p

Sense build.prop files & AOSP build.prop files don't play nice together. Neither do CDMA files & GSM files.

It takes some changes to get the phone to boot with them, or to get radio access with them.

I've already tried a stock Nexus fingerprint, but it still doesn't give access. Like I said, I even pushed the file before even booting the phone (I.E, wipe, flash CM6, push file in recovery, then reboot) and it still didn't work.

For now I've been using AppBrain and their Fast Web Install app to get any missing apps installed. You can also use it to upgrade existing apps that are missing but you have to uninstall the old version first. (I've been using Titanium Backup to backup/restore the data from it too.) I've suggested that they add the ability to upgrade apps directly through Fast Web Install. You can vote on it here and maybe we can get their attention, it would certainly be a decent workaround.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rhiven:
I noticed earlier this week that none of Gameloft's HD games were available on their website for the Captivate, so I e-mailed them today asking when they (specifically NOVA and Modern Combat) would be made available for our phone and here is the response I received:

"Hi!

Thank you for your interest in Gameloft games. Unfortunately, we currently do not have any plans to add those game to support your device. This may change in the future so please visit our Website periodically for the latest information at gameloft.com"

Does anyone know if I can just select that I am with Sprint on an EVO during the purchase and receive and run the games just fine? I am guessing yes but I wanted to double check before I spent the money to buy the games.

(My phone is rooted and I have enabled non-market apps.)

all worked fine for me though
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sschrupp:
Does it matter what phone you put in? I mean are they really different versions of the game? I'm assuming there's no variation, but...

For those of you getting these games on your Captivate, which phone are you putting in as the device when it asks you?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
one warning here....Asphalt 5 is AWESOME but ONLY up to version 3.1.3. I am not sure what they did after that but they broke hardware acceleration.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
I'm using 3.1.8 and it seems fine. Did it used to be even smoother? 3.1.8 seems smooth to me and it doesn't stutter or anything. Maybe they put a 30 fps cap or something?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
It is a LOT smoother. Try finding 3.1.3 and then let me know. Yes 3.1.8 looks fine unless you have seen how much better it is with hardware acceleration.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] eatkabab:
