Coming from a Iphone 3g.

Got my Captivate on Tuesday. Rooted it, took off the junk. Mine is running great even with no new launcher and live backround. GPS works great too.

No bugs here and phone is way faster then any other phone I have ever used.
[Captivate General] dewt:
Mine is running great too. Maybe it's because I'm not a perfectionist, but I love my phone after removing touchwiz it's even faster too.
[Captivate General] Jack45:
So far, so good. Any "issues" can be traced back to my ignorance of an Android-based phone, but being a persistent sort I've either figured out the answers myself or by trolling forums. I would venture a guess that most listed problems relate to:

1. Unrealistic expectations that this new phone should behave the same way, or very similar to an older phone, e.g., number of bars should equal previous phone's number of bars and stuff like that.

2. The results of newbies futzing within the depths of the phone without recognizing the potential consequences of their actions should they screw up.

3. Glitches or wishes that will be addressed in updates.

4. Real problems that can be rectified by a swap within the 30 days.

5. Imagined problems that can be rectified by a reality check.

...and so on.

In any event, I have high expectations and this phone has certainly come close to meeting them.

Now if I can just not drop it before I get a case. If it's not in my pocket I find myself holding it like it's an egg.

Ok can someone explain to me how I have accrued 25 megs of data according to Verizon in the last 24 hours but I have been strictly on wifi. I am worried cause when it goes tiered I will need to focus since I average about 20 gigs a month.
[Droid X General] dr154:
So your saying as soon as your phone is turned on, its on wifi & not 3g?
[Droid X General] rsvoboda1107:
I checked my data yesterday then I turned on wifi and never turned it off, and it went up.
[Droid X General] Ryan Frawley:
Droid X requires unlimited data, so it doesn't matter. If verizon changes your data cap, you will be able to cancel your contract (and keep the Droid X), or get grandfathered and keep the unlimited data.
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
How in the world does one use 20gigs?? That's crayzy! Im on my phone all day everyday, and it was te same when i had my dinc. I have never used more than 2-3 gigs of data
[Droid X General] rsvoboda1107:
Well when I'm in my car I am streaming music. When I am at work I am either watching video podcasts or slingbox. But when I am home I use wifi lol. I can only imagine what the number would be if I didn't use wifi
[Droid X General] davisbs999:
Totally! I can't comprehend burning through that much data in a month. I think one would have to be downloading torrents consistently every day to pull something like that off

Thanks guys that answered my question
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] erishasnobattery:
I searched through here for a bit, but didn't seem to find anything that specifically addressed my issue, so here goes.

I've recently started trying to theme a ROM, CM based on 2.2, and I'm having scaling problems. I ran into the same thing on some 2.1 ROMs, so I don't think it's Froyo related. Basically, buttons, text boxes, and drop downs are getting all weird on me. The buttons and drop downs are fine in their resting state, but get all ridiculous when pressed.

I have checked image modes (RGB/Indexed), size, color palletes, etc. and all of it matches up to the originals EXACTLY. The only thing that might have changed is the file size.

I know plenty of you guys have this working just fine, so what's the secret? I have Gimp which I use at work, and Photoshop at home. However, Photoshop tends to lose information in Indexed images so I try to avoid it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :)

Edit: And yes, some of the taskbar icons are from other themes, and I take no credit for them. This is for my PERSONAL use and will never go further than my phone. Thanks droidkevlar and sunder74. :D
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
You stealing my stuff now? WTF. FIRED!!! ;P

You sure the images are the same size as what the OG was? I had this same issue until I installed PS and resized my images to the correct size. Just taking a shot in the dark, but seems the when pressed png is off on size. I had this issue for select boxes. Once resized, fixed issue.

Just the badass signal thingy, which is now my badass battery thingy. :) Yeah, they are literally identical. I don't know. Makin me crazy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] r546:
I've been in the market to get my first Bluetooth headset to use with my EVO. I eventually narrowed it down to either the Plantronics Voyager 520 or Voyager PRO. I decided to go with the 520 since it was $30 vs the PRO's $70 and I didn't want to overspend if the 520 would suit my needs. It works fine with the EVO, but max volume is barely sufficient. I can hear the other party, but I have to make sure to listen carefully when driving. I was hoping for something more along the lines of what I experienced with the wired phones that came bundled with my Pre - very good sound, landline quality, plenty of volume. However I'm not sure if the PRO is too big, considering I'd like this to have this with me (in my pocket) all the time. I'm also not sure if the headset or the EVO is the limiting factor with volume, the PRO might not be any better.

Can anyone recommend a BT headset for the EVO with good volume, and that is also preferably compact like the Voyager 520? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sporkman:
best is a personal opinion

i have a jawbone and like it cuts out the background noise voice activated and fits nicely on my face
[EVO 4G Accessories] kingdaoud:
i've been using the Jawbone Icon for over a yr. and im very happy with it and it works very well with my Evo....
[EVO 4G Accessories] r546:
Hero? Thinker? Is the difference only aesthetics? I can't even tell how these ones go on your ear.

Yes, "best" is very subjective, of course. I can say I'm looking for compact and sufficient volume when driving on the highway, so hopefully that helps narrow it down.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kellybrf:
i loved my jawbone 2, but have not been impressed with audio quality on the icon. the plantronics pro is an amazing headset, but im with you on the size. ive been using the plantronics 975 since it came out and ive yet to find anything better. its light, small, comfortable and has excellent audio quality, though i wouldnt call it exceptionally loud. you may want to look into a custom ear mold to help with volume
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
The difference in the different Icon models is the aesthetics and the voice responses (I believe they call these "personalities") but they are all the same hardware.
[EVO 4G Accessories] r546:
Thanks, I'm just unsure if this volume is as good as it's gonna get with this phone. Would hate to spend $70-$100 on the Voyager PRO or Jawbone just to find the same results and have to return. I'm interested in hearing others' opinions of BT volume while driving on the highway.
[EVO 4G Accessories] beaker77:
I get great wind noise reduction with the Voyager Pro. I've owned the Jawbone I, Jawbone Icon, BlueAnt Q1, and several Motorola headsets. The Voyager Pro has the best sound quality and noice cancelation of any Bluetooth headset that I've used. Regarding the Voyager Pro vs. 520, from what I've ready the 520 is built better but the Pro has better sound quaility.
[EVO 4G Accessories] r546:
Thanks, would you say the Voyager PRO has sufficient volume with your EVO 4G in all scenarios, even while driving? How would you compare the size/weight to other headsets you've used?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Vandam500:
Jawbone Icon Thinker on special for $49 with free shipping at Walmart, Here you go
[EVO 4G Accessories] stewie-droid:
ant q1?

How is Q1 audio loudness comparing to other's mentioned here.

I have plantronics 320, older model and volume also on that one could be louder so i expect same loudness of the bt on 520, in which case i would pass on it. Jawbone Ace is kinda on expensive side for Bluetooth. No reason to pay double since i don't think it's twice as better, so contemplating on AntQ1.

Anyone has it to say it's damn loud ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] cesjr02:
I second the Voyager PRO. I preferred headset, and I've had quite a few including other plantronics, nokia, and motorola.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kllian:
jawbone, it's the only BT i've ever used that I didnt want to immediately trash after using the first time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jnewkirk10:
I like the moto txth17 headset. Plenty loud. Great sound quality and either fits with a loop or those rubber ear things that never work for me. Also its a2dp so it plays all the audio in the earpiece and streaming music quality is actually quite good.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
I would vote for either Moto H17txt or Jabra Extreme. Picked up the Jabra for $43 after tax at Staples, on sale and with $10 coupon, like it quite well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
After comparing the -

Jawbone Icon

BlueAnt t1

Plantronics Discovery 925

I decided to go with the t1. Anyone have any experience with it?

Will be replacing my trusty, old Plantronics Explorer 360 :D After a good year and a half run...it finally "bit the dust" :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Thread started in "Accessory" forum...
[EVO 4G Accessories] timothydonohue:
i just got a jawbone II yesterday, and the sound quality is sub-par, and it fits like a shoe fits my hand (not well)

honestly, i went back to my ps3 bluetooth. quality is SO much better, and it fits. it's bigger, but the difference in comfort and sound quality more than make up for it
[EVO 4G Accessories] stewie-droid:
Plantronics Pro is out of question for me. Too big and long. cmon. I might as well wear one of those antennas with backpack for better reception. lol.

Icon is twice as much as others. Thinking of ant q1. Anyone had it ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
It is already outdated. BlueAnt is already about to release the Q2. Check out the thread I started in the Accessory forum. I posted the links to the official Q2 site.

Also from some videos and reviews I read, the Q1 was sort of.cheap in the build. That's why I went with the T1. Basically a Q1, but built a lot more rugged.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
plus, the volume on the T1 is VERY LOUD and super clear and easy to use in the car..

I dumped my jawbone icon for it, and, I have had at least 20 BT headsets in my life, and for the price, this one takes the cake!

grab it here, for the incredible price of 48 bucks!!!

Go with a jawbone two or the newer jawbones just my 2 cents. I like jaw bone do to the fact of the military technology they use and u can drive. Down the freeway doin 65+ and the person will be able yo hear you clear as day and I'll be able to hear the. As well. Plus the sleek design of them is awesome.
[EVO 4G Accessories] saintirish:
I'm looking for the best reasonably priced bluetooth that also has a pause button as I like to listen to podcasts on mine mostly (so I don't care about stereo). Anyone have a favorite that would meet that spec?? I've been using the Voyager 855, but it is nearing EOL.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bender1077:
+ jawbone 2

JAWBONER 2 is an exceptional BT headset. I'm on my 2nd one. Nothing wrong with the first, but my dog found it to be fun to destroy.

The noise-assassin is great for driving fast with windows down because of the sensor that recognizes when you talk.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stewie-droid:
ant t1

Allright sir. I just ordered it. Shall see if what you say it's true. I looked at newegg reviews but didn't like some of the bt. I like jawbone ace but not gonna shell out 100+ for bt. Was seriously looking at ant and lets see how it performs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
IMHO, go with the T1. Just got mine today and it is pretty awesome.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
for under 50 bucks, its hard to beat it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] PhantomApollyon:
Haha, there are so many jawbone fans here....I used to be right there with you guys until I tried my friend's Voyager PRO. The difference in sound quality is amazing. My jawbone 2 sounds like garbage compared to the Voyager PRO, both on the mic and speaker. Yes, its bigger and more bulky but if you really need people to hear you and your keen on really hearing other people, the Voyager is a sure bet. The fact of the matter is that most jawbone owners I talk to have no idea what they are missing. My entire family used the jawbone 2 until I let them try my Voyager PRO and now 4/5 of them have switched.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
I had a Voyager Pro for awhile too..nice headset, just too bulky for me..
[EVO 4G Accessories] sjjones:
Best buy priced matched it for me less 10%
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
my personal opinion the Jawbone Icon is the best headset. Plantronics Voyager 975 is nice too, but it doesnt provide free software updates like Jawbone does. Only headset I've ever seen that lets you add features for free through firmware updates! Latest one was A2DP (letters may be in wrong order) support!
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
really? they price matched an online price? i dont think walmart sells in in store, at least ive never seen it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Blueant does software updates for free too.....
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
nice.. its been a while but i remember the blueants being kinda expensive, may have changed now. considering the jawbone icon can be had for $50 from ecost or $60 from walmart, might be worth looking into. It's also shorter then the previous Jawbones, and the OP said he was looking for something smaller.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
you are right; they can be, but, lately, there have been great deals on Blueant, especially on the Web..

I dont really like buying BT headsets on the Net, since they often have to go back if they dont perform they way the claim they do..

My 2 current faves are the Jawbone Icon, and the BlueAnt T1, both available on the Web for under 60 bucks, both being update-able, and both having excellent sound quality...

The Jawbone is alot smaller than the T1..The T1 is alot louder than the Jawbone..pick your poison!
[EVO 4G Accessories] aayoo:
Best bluetooth headset has got to be the blueant Q2, there new this year. Hands down the best out, only draw back is the price at 129.00. But I believe is worth it, you can do so many things with them. Look them up and do yourself that favor.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
the new winner, in my mind..

voyager pro plus

PERFECT sound quality, great a2dp/multipoint functionality, and comfortable enough to wear all day without a sore ear what so ever

And, music is sent in stereo, albeit to just one ear, but you can hear the difference between this headset and EVERY other single ear bt

not the sleekest looking bt out there, but hey, if you gotta wear one of these for many hours a day, who cares how it looks..

My wife was so impressed with mine that she bought one, and she HATES bt heaqdsets

if you look hard, you can find them for 50-80 dollars..

buy one of these bad boys, and see for yourself..

these are douche looking, but i have had them all and this is my favorite. it has really good talk and standbye, good quality and you can wear it all day if you needed to. i only put mine in when i am driving or on the phone so i don't mind looking like a douche. when i am walking around, i just turn off bluetooth and answer the phone normally.

Jawbone. Have had my jawbone 2 for years, rugged, clear sound, that's even when ur driving down the freeway with ur window down.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
I used to think the same thing, having had 3 jawbones in the last 3 years, but the sound clarity, and comfort of the voyager pro plus blows all Jawbone stuff right out of the water..
[EVO 4G Accessories] devnulldroid:
Bought my Voyager Pro a few months back and listening to streaming radio on it right now. No complaints.

Even have 2 phones (EVO and work cell phone) running on it at same time during the day at work while listening to tunes walking down the hall. ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
yeah, this is the first bt headset I have had that the multi point feature actually works seamlessly..

I have my cell phone and my home phone connected to it at the same time while working at home office, and no matter which phone rings, its a breeze to answer the call...

Technology that actually works!

Not bad, since I paid nothing for it at Best Buy, using reward card points!
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlGmanlx:
wouldn't say nothing because it probably cost you over $2/3K to get those reward points ;) but a good deal none the less
[EVO 4G Accessories] Stroid01:
I have been using Jawbone 2, Prime, and now an Icon. Supreme quality and now the Icon supports A2DP which is great. But I am starting to go through the same thing as you i keep hearing great things about the Voyager Pro and I think this will be my next headset. But the Icon is pretty darn good. Best advantage i saw about the voyager over the icon is the battery life is much better on the voyager.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
yeah, battery life blows away the jawbone, but the sound quality, and the comfort is what really sets it apart..plus, the multi point ability is seamless, and super simple to enable

Make sure you guys get the voyager pro PLUS, and not the plain voyager pro..big difference between them..
[EVO 4G Accessories] squick:
I personally am using the Motorola H695 and love it. Got for around $25 on amazon. Very compact and sounds great.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Emama:
What is the big difference between, I cant see any comparison after googling it for a long time... (except the price in Amazon)

Have a Plantronics Voyager Pro myself and love streaming my music from device and internet to it while I walk around work. 20 band eq on Plus sounds nice but I have an eq and preamp on PowerAmp app using Voyager Pro.

The HTC Universal, Windows Mobile 5, uses BlueTooth 1.2. I used the Holux GPSlim240 for several years before it conked out. Holux no longer makes this GPS, and so they switched me to their M1200-E GPS. Unfortunately this GPS requires BlueTooth 2. So, is there any way to upgrade my HTC Universal to BlueTooth 2, or is there another very small GPS available which uses BlueTooth 1.2?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsteele:
Obviously I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.

I just got a T5388i Diamond 2 clone. I got it primarily because it offered Dual SIMS which I find useful.

However I'd also like to use the GPs and while it works it takes forever to get a "fix."

This unit does not have QuickGPS installed. Is there a standalone QuickGPS I can download that will work on this version?

I searched the forums and found several the most recent one I tried being QuickGPS_1_1_1917021_01.cab but when I try to run them absolutely nothing happens.

im biased but i think my ROM, which i designed for exactly this intent is the best stock ROM. of course, thats my opinion. it loads the stock kernel and a completely stock system, with root that properly works with wifi tether and small developer tools like busybox, flash_image, and a shortcut remount script.

it loads all the stock apps, everything stock!

I think Caulkin posted an entirely stock rom, it has nothing but root added.

However I think OMJ or JoeyKrim is an even better idea, the only changes they have made are adding in some tools you may eventually need, which won't be in the way. BusyBox for example gives you tools for backing up, adding, and removing data and apps, but it doesn't even add an icon to your drawer, it is just available when needed from the terminal (and is probably less than 100k, but I don't know).
