There's a leaked roadmap for T-Mobile devices for the rest of the year on TmoNews.com (the post was a while back, so you might have to go through several pages). I think there's a device coming out soon with a 4.3" screen + Android. And a device coming out with a dual-cell processor or something.
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
EVO and HD2 having much, much more differences dude. Compare both devices on HTC Site.

I dont get your post - they tell about new relase HD2 incl Android or new ROM with Android or what?

Nevermind.. found out how to do it... Mods, Please Close :)

Lets say I delete BlurHome.apk

I no long have a home screen.

Is there anyway to permanently replace this with another home.apk, and delete the BlurHome.apk?

are things like launcherpro just skins or do they completely disable BlurHome.apk?

Thanks
[Droid X Android Development] JoeyMoose:
Do not delete anything with Blur...
[Droid X Android Development] drew630:
Launcher pro or adw completly replace blur and are not skins
[Droid X Android Development] paul89:
Yes it replaces it but you never want to delete your default home.
[Droid X Android Development] sic0048:
Did you make a copy of it before you deleted it? I hope so.

Too bad so many people are quick to delete without thinking about needing the file again. These are the people that post on other forums asking for files they deleted. Personally I would not delete any file - especially the blur files. Change the name to .bak or something like that. That makes it easy to go back to normal should you need to.

Storage space shouldn't be an issue with the DroidX. If it is, get the 32gb SD card.
[Android] Devyne_one:
I was hoping if someone could tell me why every time I try to use my nexus one's camcorder it always reboot my phone and had been doing it sent I upgraded to Froyo 2.2 91Efe. Has anyone else been having this issue? If it help I'm currently using cyanogen 6.0 Rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] yincrash:
i don't want to put root on my vibrant. i previously had a nexus one and all i had to do was plug it in and turn on debugging mode and i could test out my apps and debug them just fine.

with the vibrant I get the following error when trying to debug apps:

[2010-07-25 21:40:58 - ApiDemos] Failed to upload ApiDemos.apk on device 'T959xxxxxxxxxxx'

[2010-07-25 21:40:58 - ApiDemos] java.io.IOException: Unable to upload file: timeout

Is adb push disabled?
[Vibrant Android Development] yincrash:
edit: my bad. i didn't sign with a debug certificate.

so adb install works, but for some reason the eclipse says failed to upload when you try to use the 'run' or 'debug' build in eclipse. any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] yincrash:
it looks like eclipse will do the run/debug fine after manually installing with adb install on the command line. that's a little annoying, but a reasonable workaround. i wish i knew the root cause though...
[Vibrant Android Development] matt_stang:
I thought I was the only one having this problem! But it looks like it's the vibrant, not me or eclipse. Has anyone been able to find a fix for this issue? I've tried different versions of eclipse and java but no luck. So far my experience with the vibrant as a developer has been really ****ty. Especially since my mac (my main computer) doesn't recognize it in any way. If anyone has some sort of solution to this that would be great
[Vibrant Android Development] artjumble:
So I have to say that I cannot get my Vibrant to work either. Of course I can't seem to get the emulator working also. So far I am dead in the water on Android development. Sucks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Freedomcaller:
I've been deving just fine on my vibrant no issues whatsoever. the only problem i had was that adb didn't detect the vibrant at all till i updated my sdk, are you guys using the latest adb?

i can run and debug just fine from eclipse, just the same as it works on my g1. i tried it on both windows and linux.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Chalup:
Yea I've been using my vibrant as my development phone without a problem. Just make sure you have the correct adb drivers. I found them online somewhere
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
Netbeans sends apks to my Vibrant fine, even before I was rooted. In fact, I can ONLY get Netbeans to send to the Vibrant... it completely ignores the Emulator if the Vibrant is plugged in w/USB Debugging on.

Might be something with Eclipse. I've had tons of problems with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Anderdroid:
Eclipse has been working perfectly for me on my Vibrant...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkfitz:
Questions:

I have full NAND root and flashed the stock rooted ROM... been waiting for a super stable CM6 with everything working (well, except for wimax). Couple of questions before i proceed:

- Is it necessary to flash the radios that comes with the CM6 builds? The radio I have now seems to be working fine and if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?

- How do I flash GAPPS? Just download the zip and flash it just like a ROM?

- Why doesn't cyanogen just package the gapps with the CM6 build... does this have something to do with his cyanogen project agreement with Google?

- When I do a NAND backup, does it include the radios...... so If I do decide to flash the new radios and want to go back to my current radio, can I just nand restore to today?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veritas06:
Answers above in bold.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbyt:
you need the latest radio. if you used whitslacks method, then you already have the latest radio. If you do not have the latest radio then you MUST update radio prior to using CM6
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkfitz:
Ok... so I flash the radio zips just like the ROMS yes? And is there any risk in updating the radio? From what I read, it's riskier than flashing a ROM...

Do I need to reboot in between flashing CM6, radios, GAPPS, or can I just flash them all in recovery and then reboot?
[Droid Incredible General] jett2314:
I would like to keep root and do not want to take the next ota update from big red when it drops. I was told that this would stop update

"in /system/etc/security/ change the files

otacerts.zip

cacerts.bks

to

BAKotacerts.zip

BAKcacerts.bks"

But when I tried the phone just gets stuck in a boot loop. I went back in and reversed it and the phone boots fine. Does any one know of a way I can block updates while keeping my stock rom?
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
root
[Droid Incredible General] jett2314:
Yes, now how can I keep it with out applying a new rom?
[Droid Incredible General] BossMafia2:
This thread, along with so many others here, has nothing to do with development.

That being said, you remove/rename the otacerts.zip file once rooted, you don't need a rom or anything.
[Droid Incredible General] jett2314:
Thank you for your reply. As previously stated I have root and have tried to rename the otacerts.zip file, but the phone would not boot after that. Do you feel that just changing otacerts.zip would work? What is the cacerts.bks used for? I'll be sure to post in the correct form next time.
[Droid Incredible General] BossMafia2:
Actually what you said is you renamed otacerts and cacerts. The phone needs cacerts, it's how it does all the certificate checking; it doesn't need otacerts, which is to check the certificates specific to the ota releases
[Droid Incredible General] jett2314:
BossMafia2 than you for your help. I have changed the otacert.zip (mv /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip /system/etc/security/BAKotacerts.zip) with out any booting issues. I'll have to wait and see if that blocks any future updates.
[Vibrant General] panerai104:
Hello- new to android, coming from a hd2

here is my set up:

I have a .mac account for my personal account.

I have gmail only for google voice.

I also am linked to facebook.

I use the phone mostly for work with ms exchange. I dont like the interface that samsung/2.1 offers so I am testing touchdown. So far so good.

issues/questions

I have both Touchdown and the android exchange set up so I can compare the differences. Not sure if this is recommended or not? also not sure if I should disable one or not??

1) contacts- when I am using dialer to call someone it - goes to the work fax # as default not the cell or even office #. How do I change the order for all contacts at once? I can do it individually but have 400 contacts. It doesnt give me an option to see all the #'s to chose from like in windows. Does this have something to do with the way it synced with ms exchange server's contacts?

Very annoying! any work arounds? any better way to quickly call or return a call? I typically use dialer and start dialing the persons name.

2)

personal email

- when I set up my .mac account it made a folder called personal email on my homescreen (great!) i mistakenly dragged it to the trash. Now when I add the email program to the Homescreen, when I open it gives mes 2 options. I want to get back my own personal email folder- any options?

3) I only use gmail to read my voicemails using google voice. Is there a way I can sync my ms exchange contacts (phone contacts) to the gmail cloud so I have them in multiple places?

Thanks in advance!

M
[Vibrant General] batrad:
3. Export your contacts from Outlook (into CSV) and import them into GMAIL (Google has instructions on how to do it)

Good deal. Not cheaper than monoprice for the cables, but with the free shipping this really becomes worth it. Ordered 2 cables for when I finally have an Epic 4G, thanks a ton. :)
[Vibrant Accessories] larryccf:
yeah, but two questions - 1) is it a charger cable only (some are, believe they're 5 pin - a lot of the motorola cables are charger only. Other cables are described as charger / data cables and believe they're 14 pin

there was someone on one of the forums that couldn't his computer to recognize his phone, was using a motorola cable

2) is what we've got a micro usb? - i;ve got micro usb cables from other phones, and the micro male end isn't as slim as this one - and they don't plug into the phone - help on that question appreciated
[Vibrant Accessories] A-Game:
1) I'll let you know when they arrive, but I'm not worried.

2) Yes, Vibrant uses MicroUSB. Their stock picture is probably wrong (look like a MiniUSB, which is probably what you have).
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
I have this mini to micro adapter that I bought forever ago for the wife's blackberry. I just tried it and it works just fine on the Vibrant. Yes it charges and it allows for data transfer just fine.

Now mine says SKN6252A

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Micr...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280115315&sr=8-10

There are others on that website that do not have the A on the them. This is a 5 pin cable on both sides just for reference. I think I might by myself a hand full of them since I seem to have 1234123412341 USB mini cables laying around every where. ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
Just ordered 2 just for the heck of it. ;) Well because my wife told me I couldn't use her's because I would loose it. However that means now that I can still use my travel charger that is a USB mini and I can just easily convert it to micro.
[Vibrant Accessories] androidmonkey:
I have a ton of mini usb cables / chargers. Instead of buying new ones I just bought some adapters on Ebay for .99 including shipping.
[Vibrant Accessories] Inat:
Got mine yesterday. Used it to charge the phone overnight. No issues. Hooked it up to the comp and was able to view all the files on my phone with no problem. Glad I got in on this before they raised the price.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] anarde:
I'm traveling from the US to London and then to Scotland in about a week. I bought my Touch Pro 2 with this trip in mind because it's a world phone and can operate on both CDMA and GSM frequencies. What concerns me now is the voltage difference between the US and UK/Scotland (Here in the US we use 110v/120v. In both UK and Scotland they use 220v/240v). The charger is rated for 100v-240v which means it's okay to use in both places without a converter. I just want someone with some experience to confirm or explain otherwise. From what I understand as long as the charger says "input:100v-240v 50hz/60hz output: 5v I'm okay because it will convert it down to 5v anyway, correct?

Also, I heard from someone (who doesn't own a smartphone) that they've heard horror stories of people's smartphone's memory being scrambled from going overseas. This person said regular phones are fine, ONLY smartphones are in danger. I don't understand what would cause this, so I doubt it, but I'd still like to check it out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
I went to Italy and Spain and as long as I had the right adapter for the plugs, the charger worked fine. Same with my camera charger.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] anarde:
So you didnt have to buy a voltage converter? Just the adapter to change the physical shape of the plugs? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dantegl36:
why not contact htc? seems that they may be able to provide the best peace of mind to your questions :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe Pinball:
So long as you get an adaptor (looks like this one, which costs under one UK pound) for the UK plugs for your US-based charger, it will work just fine with our English and Scottish-flavoured electricity we have over here.

When they say input voltage from 100-2340volts it means just that: in that range the adaptor will work perfectly fine to produce the required 5 volts output to charge your phone.

As to your friends "story", well it's just that: a story. a smartphone is a computer with radio chips that functions as a phone and happens to offer a windows mobile OS platform.

Likewise an ordinary Nokia phone is a computer with radio chips that functions as a phone..... so why would one get it's brain "scrambled" and not the other?

take your non WinMo owners story with a pinch of salt, but DO remember not to get chatted up by 2 nice girls in a bar in case you wake up in the bath missing a kidney! yes! it's true! it happened to a friend of mine... well a friend of a friend, he was in Asia, when he got chatted up...... (insert more urban myths here)

Joe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] IMissPalmOS:
OP, you will be fine. I've travelled to many different countries with my TP2, including the exact two that you mentioned, and can assure you that you will *not* need a voltage converter, just the plug adapter. Best to pick one up before you go, but if not you will find *plenty* of them for sale at every airport you travel through. Don't worry. Have a good trip!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Nope, no converter needed, not for the phone, anyway. It is needed for things like hair dryers or shavers that plug directly into the socket without a transformer brick. I got a cheap set off eBay that has various plug adapters for just about any country in Europe and a converter in a hard case for $20.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
The charger already IS a voltage converter, as long as the house voltage is within the rated range of the charger, and you have an adapter to fit the physical shape of the prongs, you are good to go. This goes with chargers for other devices, including laptops.

The story about a smartphone's memory being scrambled by travelling is hogwash. I used my Tilt2/Touch Pro 2 and my Tilt before that in Japan many times, and it works just like its supposed to. Like a previous response said, a smartphone is just a cell phone which happens to also have pocket PC functionality. A foreign country is not going to send some evil cell signal into your smartphone and scramble it. Somebody your friend knows probably just messed up their smartphone by dropping it in a squat toilet and blamed it on "travelleing".

Thousands of people travel to foreign countries all the time with their WM phones, iPhones, Blackberries, etc. If there was really some problem there, it would be well publicized by this point, not just one guy you know telling a scary story.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tiltAdmin:
works like a champ

I've been to Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands with my AT&T Tilt 2 and it has worked like a champ.

The included charger handles 100-240V so all you need is the plug adapter for the specific country that you'll be visiting.

For an extended trip you could get a SIM unlock code from AT&T so that you can use a pre-paid SIM card while traveling.

Have a fun and safe trip!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
I took mine to Australia and used it for SatNav where the heat from the sun through the window not only stopped the thing charging properly but made the glue melt and run out of the strip on the back around the PTT/Mute button untill it was partially hanging off.

I also took it to Thailand where the humidity caused all sorts of strange issues including it switching itself on during take off three times until I removed the battery. Also the buttons and keys gave unusual results when pressed.

Then I took it to France and used it as SatNav again. It was hot again and the glue came out again until I was in the airport in Switzerland flying back and the back caught on my bag, rolled up and became un-pocketableee so I pulled the back off. Much better now although ebayers may not agree.

Don't worry about taking your phone with you, all you need is a plug adapter which I guarantee someone or other will try and sell you multiple times during your journeys. Mine (still on stock wwe 6.1) even has all the data settings which it sets on insertion of a sim.

In the UK the cheapest prepaid sims are from the supermarkets, I'd go for Tesco or Asda. Asda is a little cheaper but the have fewer shops for you to top up in.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy Spica Android Development] theooo:
Hello, im so happy at last samsung galaxy spica have a new home here in XDA

forum. Since i've using this phone i found that samsung galaxy spica only have a

very small number of developer. What a pitty, since this phone have a huge

hardware potential like multi touch capable chip, even some forum found that

spica has a 256mb RAM chip but somehow only about 160mb active.

So im looking forward for developer to help us spica user to unleash true spica power.. :D :D :D
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] spicasep:
not only the hardware i guess, lots of pepole were using samsung spica as it is, since the other android phones were highly priced....so samsung galaxy spica is a well balanced phone between price and ability

What Theoo means by looking forward for a developer to unleash samsung spica true power is not just an empty hope (i guess...):p

I recently bought samsung galaxy spica and my first impression is............I DONT NEED ANY SMARTPHONE AGAIN :D

Hope there will be someone who can deliver samsung spica to its full potential :)
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] anuragthehellboy:
Infact its a really capable phone.But samsung has written poor divers for it.The 3D experience is horrible.

There are many good developers like leshaK who r working really hard for its development but developing a phone is not a one man's show.

As said above,the phone is capable of multi touch support,it has a 800mhz processor which can be well overclocked like in case of moment,it has a second microphone which seems to be of no use.

If some good developers work on making drivers for this powerful phone,we can use the full hardware capabilities of this phone.
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] theooo:
Yeah, like u said, its not one man show. Thats why i hope with our new home here @XDA, someone out there will be interested to develop driver or even roms for our spica. so in the future spica user will have many developer. :D :D :D

Yes spica has the ability to update to 2.2.but samsung never update their old phone. I7500 for example. It's stop in 1.6.(official fw) .and samsung don't update spica. We have some good developers in samdroid. And leshak give us a 2.2.but not perfect . I hope xda developer can help us build a working 2.2. Our cpu s3c6410 support 3d but no drive. What a pity!
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] Xmister:
Thankfully tom3q working on a brand new 3D driver, but he might be happy for a little a help.

Since he is writing the driver for froyo, I think now our first step must be a stable & working froyo on the spica!

If some developer would like to help in that, the actual state of development can be seen here: forum.samdroid.net/f9/dev-android-2-2-froyo-samsung-i5700-alpha-2-gprs-3g-wifi-11-07-2010-a-1408

P.S.

I would like to say thank you to the XDA Developer team for making the Spica forum!
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] djurkash:
Adding myself to the bunch of people looking forward to spica development...
[Galaxy Spica Android Development] violentgoomba:
Didn't expect to see Spica around here. I'm glad it's here now though, might catch the attention of developers. I agree with some of the people who have mentioned the Spica being crippled by Samsung's poor implementation and support for this device.

I bought the phone in May, and love it for the things that it can do. I just feel that it's too early for Samsung to drop it and move on to their newer phones. This phone has a lot of potential.

Props to Leshak for working hard to improve the Spica. I hope more devs can pitch in.

Hey everyone. I have a problem that I haven't seen here on the forum. I changed the case on my x1 a while back, and since then I have a problem where my screen starts scrambling when it's connecting to Edge, and it won't stop until it connects back to HSDPA.
