[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] adelaney:
Looking for widget replacements, similar to the fullscreen htc sense ones. I have only found one paid grid-style calendar widget and a messaging one from the cyanogenmod theme thread. I would like to find a replacement for the following widgets, looking for some suggestions. Thanks

Calendar

Music

Photo Albums

:confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] IAMCLP1:
People just do a search!!! :mad::rolleyes:

This has been asked 10101010101 times ... I really think Mod's should start deleting these posts. :cool:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] HolySabre:
Try the pure series they have great stuff search on market for pure grid calendar and most of wat your lookin for will pop up
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] twilk73:
This question has been asked a tone and searching isnt easy with topics like this you will have to search for far to long to get the best possible answers.

We need a widget post. A post that is devoted to what widgets people like and where they got them. A lot of us on other Launchers liked some of the sense widgets and just because we dont like sense doesnt mean we dont like there widgets.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcnice20:
Cm6 has a full screen music widget but if ya really hate it my second choice would be mixzing
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bcnice20:
And people please be a little more respectable yes he could of searched but he didn't not really gunna be the end of the world and plus ya really have no right to say what should are shouldn't be posted that why we have such great mods on xda let them deal with it please (sry for completly useless post op )
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] adelaney:
You should kiss my a>>. I did search. Next time keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to contribute.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] adelaney:
You know, its one thing when someone asks "how do I root my evo?" But I always search first, and like someone else said, it is ridiculous trying to find somethings; mainly cause too many douchebags are in these forums that have nothing to do but whine and tell someone to search first. That guys has 29 posts. A third are probably questions like "how do I root my phone?" Another third are him complaining that something didn't work. And the last third are telling others to "search first." Douche
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Nevermind all that madness posted above.. Too much boardtosterone flying around.

Note: Mixzing has lockscreen widget support and more importantly an eq!!! I repeat an EQ!!!! Sound is no longer mudd out of the Evo.

[Vibrant General] simham7537:
Love the Vibrant BUT.... The On-Off button is on the right so that when you grab the phone to turn it on or off with your thumb (right handed), your fingers alter the volume buttons on the other side!!! Just because other manufacturers (HTC) have buttons on the top doesn't mean you HAVE to be different (Yes you SAMSUNG)

Also the system buttons on the bottom are FAR too sensitive. Other manufacturers stop using touch buttons because of this years ago.

Also Samsungs android overlay offers no user benefits whatsoever. They could have just offered a new set of widgets and apps with Vanilla android.

BUT NO.... They have to be different .. guess what? All business plans have changed these last couple of years. You do NOT have to be different just for the sake of standing out. I think the Dell Streak is gonna suffer because they are using a propietry charger (Throw all you other ones away and buy Dell's for 30 bucks each!!!!!) I was gonna buy one but now i'm not gonna touch it and support propiatism (made up word).

Calling all cellphone designers.... Please may I be a beta tester for you. I will tell you the truth and give you more feedback (as a heavy user) than any research company.... (Android phones only)

The truth may hurt but you need to hear it.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I can control my fingers individually so that when I grip the phone to hit the power button, I can avoid squeezing the other side of the phone.

Having the button on the side is far better than having it at the top. HTC Evo's tiny button and placement has to be a complete oversight by HTC.

Samsung's TouchWiz 3.0 is pretty nice.
[Vibrant General] ElahC:
Just because you don't like the Touchwiz interface doesn't mean other people don't like it aswell. I actually enjoy having the default Touchwiz, but I wouldn't mind if it were stock android at all.
[Vibrant General] Batpimp:
just a complainer...IGNORE!
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I actually prefer the button on the side. If I use my right hand I can use my thumb and if I use my left hand I can use my index finger

I'm an advanced user
[Vibrant General] neema:
You are in no way representative of the user base.
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
The only complaint I have about the physical design of the phone is, why did they put the antenna at the bottom of the phone? It's easily covered by the hand, which is proven to cause signal degradation.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
The antenna is at the bottom of the phone because it is mandated that it be placed at the bottom to move radiation away from your brain.

Still, that's not the issue. Many phones have their radios placed there, and do not suffer from the same reception issues the Vibrant appears to be experiencing.

Not all phones are created equal.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Even though the antenna is on the bottom of the phone, and bars are going down.. it doesn't really affect the speeds or drop your calls. Not sure whats up with that but I don't really care if the bars go down as long as nothing else is affected.

And TouchWiz can be replaced with alternative launchers available on the market. Everything will be great when ROMs will be created for this phone, which shouldn't be too far away considering how easy it was to root.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
"Mandated" Where did you get this nonsense? LOL @ The. Can we try yours and a few others?
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
1. The power button

Personally I use a case on mine and I don't have any issues with accidentally pushing the power button. I also happen to like it on the right side now that I've used the phone for a litte while. It makes unlocking/turning on the screen much easier than if the button was on top.

2. Touchwiz

Some people like it, some people don't. For the most part, the only thing people are whining about is the application launcher which looks too much like the iPhone. The solution? Use Launcherpro, ADW.Launcher or whatever home replacement you like. You have options!

As for the other nicities of Touchwiz. I happen to like having easy access to the radios from the notification bar. I also like being able to adjust screen brightness by simply sliding my finger on the notification bar. Genius! I also like how you can slide to text or call on the contacts page. The unlock screen and the integration of the default music player is very nice into the lock screen is very nice. I also like the puzzle pieces that appear for missed calls, texts, emails.

In short, I like everything about touchwiz except the launcher which I replaced with Launcher Pro. I'd rather have this setup than if it came with SenseUI. This is my opinion of course, but I think Samsung did a pretty good job.

You can always get 3rd party apps for widgets and the launcher. You can't really replicate the other features I mentioned from what I've seen.

3. The buttons

Other manufacturers stopped using touch buttons? Really?

The Evo 4G, Nexus One, Droid Incredible all use capacitative buttons as well. I wouldn't mind a physical home button.

To each his own. Enjoy the phone or get something else. You have options!

PS: Just remember even though you have options, no other phone will have the Super AMOLED screen. :)
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
Now that I've been using the phone a while, here are the things I've found to be the biggest annoyances (in order of how much it bothers me):

1. The e-mail app can't display HTML mail. Also, it has problems making complicated URLs, ones with & or = in them, clickable links. Finally, it doesn't appear to have any copy & paste funcionality.

2. Can't change the default calendar for new appointments.

3. The Facebook calendar sync adds my Facebook calendar items to my Exchange calendar. This isn't great, but what's worse is that it adds the items multiple times, once for each sync, and also puts them at the wrong times, always Pacific Time instead of Eastern Time.

4. The Voicemail number is locked to T-Mobile's designated number. I would like to change it to my Google Voice number so that I can use the speed dial "1" or voicemail tab in the dialer. This is more fore my wife than me, but since she annoys me about it, it in essence annoys me.

5. Battery life... I use my phone heavily, so this is too be expected, but I wish there was an extended battery available.

6. Volume... The max call volume is too low. It's okay most of the time, but if I'm in a noisy area, I have a hard time hearing it. Also, the max volume throught the headphones is too low.
[Vibrant General] SugarMouth:
I like the touchwiz as well. Take the calendar for example, miles ahead of Androids calendar.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
If this is happening to you, you are gripping the phone far too hard to push the power button.

Keep your fingers away from the system buttons.

Every android phone has a ****ty overlay (except the Nexus One), so this isn't just an issue with Samsung.

Being different is what gets attention, and when you are trying to make money, you want to get attention to your products and company.
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
You're wife could always just change speed dial "2" to her google voice number, and when she calls that it will take her to her google voicemail.
[Vibrant General] Neffstarr:
First of all I am rooted -=- already everything works fine for me only one thing I am having issues,, I installed Handcent…and made it my default TEXTING app

But I still get notifications from the messaging app that came pre installed

..

I did go to settings>I unchecked Auto retrieve and Notifications on the pre installed so

I won’t get it notification from the preinstalled app

It was doing good before the ROOT

But now I get both apps notifying me?

Can anyone give some advice?

To resolve this issue
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
yeah just go to the settings of the default txting app and turn off notifications there.
[Vibrant General] Neffstarr:
I did still get both notifications

Sent from my vibrant

using XDA App
[Vibrant General] bessertier:
1. The auto retrieve is for multimedia messages - if you leave it unchecked it will send you a message asking if you want to download it, then it will come to your phone (So, i'd probably re-enable that)

2. I doubt this will make a difference, so you can try to skip over the 3 if you want, but, you can try re-enabling the notifications, selecting the "silent" ringtone, and then disable the notifications again (just in case there was a bug about the notification box)

3. This is what most likely is the problem and I'm at work so I don't have time to test out all the combinations, but do you have another app that controls sounds (ringo, sms alert, etc.) that could be sounding an alert as well? Test out changing different alerts and txting yourself (either from your phone or set up a google voice account and send them quicker) and see what alert is really is that's notifying you besides handcent.

good luck, I'll check back after work!
[Vibrant General] acjames:
I was just about to make a thread asking if anyone else have to click download before they receive an MMS. LOL!!!
[Vibrant General] Neffstarr:
thanks let me try a few combinations
[Vibrant General] psychoace:
What you have to do is first reset defaults for text messages under Samsungs text app. Now go to handcent and turn off notifications. Now next time you get text click the one notification you got. It should ask you what app you want to use to open it. Default it to handcent. You now only have one notification. It's a crappy workaround but its the only thing that works. You can try to uninstall twizmms but usually that causes more problems then it solves
[Vibrant General] bessertier:
If my ways don't work i'd say try psychoace's idea...it sounds like it'll work.

And I guess if ur like acjones you might want the auto retrieve off (maybe high schooler with lady friends...?) But for those of us without an issue its just an extra step, and has nothing to do with the notification tones

[Captivate General] ronpinoy253:
I hope I am wrong or got the wrong phone or maybe the phone just dynamically clocks itself down to 800 mhz instead of the advertised 1000mhz. When I use Quandrant Standard Edition my Captivate is listed at 800 mhz with a max of 1000mhz. But the cpu is ARMv7 Processor rev 2? Is that right? BogoMIPS is 797.9, and hardware is SGH-I897? is is not supposed to be SGS? Please let me know what you all are getting and what Quadrant Score...my friends Droid X destroys my quadrant score with ~1200, I get only 867. The benchmark really drags during the I/O sections. Help please and share your specs, cause I am feeling a little disappointed.
[Captivate General] tysj:
Dynamically clocking down.
[Captivate General] ronpinoy253:
nevermind...I just saw the other thread with this issue.

THREAD ENDED
[Captivate General] anosis:
If this processor is similar in it's capabilites as the qualcom Snapdragon than the processor has the ability to slow down if the higher clock speed is not needed. My N1 can switch it's frequency between 245Mhz and 1Ghz (or 1.1Ghz when overclocked with an upgraded kernel).

Or the software you are using is not reading the correct speed.
[Captivate General] carporsche:
No the specifications are right .. i too ran the benchmark and was puzzled yesterday. You can find that thread in this forum.

Check this video. it explains why captivates score is less than Droid X .. In fact as per the video even though the score is less captivate is in fact a faster phone than Droid X and i am inclined to agree watching video :D

Is it possible to increase the handset volume not just temporally?

I´m driving a truck and it is really difficult for me to understand the person i´m talking with, volume is already set to max.

I figured out that it is possible to increase the volume in ( *#197328640# ) service mode - audio - handset - volume numbers 1 to 4 i set to 100.

Thats working good for me until i reboot, than the settings are reset to default. I already searched for a config file without success.

Maybe someone has more luck?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakzone:
Hello guys, seem like I will be moving to this part of xda in a couple of weeks

I have several questions though, mostly regarding roms and rooting. I have used linux for sometime and from what I understand su/sudo/gksu/gksudo etc. are not available in android? I mean I cannot gain root access in the same way as on the desktop. And if I root the device it will not lose warranty, as I can unroot it later on similar to SPL/HardSPL in winmo. The other question is, I think I am going to be OK with the stock rom, as the desire is some pretty fast hardware, so can I root it without installing rooted rom, again as HardSPL in winmo. I will probably need the root access for some applications, like task manager, otherwise I will probably only use the phone, browser, mp3, social stuff, gps, email, videos like I did in the past.

I am sorry if these questions were asked before, I read the tutorials in the first post, however things are still not quite clear for me
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisible Elf:
You don't have to install a custom ROM if you use unrevoked for root, it just adds the superuser app to your current ROM. However it will flash the recovery, so it voids your warranty anyway. There is no way to avoid this.

No idea about su/sudo though, I know nothing about linux
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Well,I kinda have the same questions...First off,there is the su command in Android which is equal to the sudo command in Ubuntu etc.To give an example,I was trying out the ezHero rom on my Hero the other day and jit was enabled with this process:in terminal emulator you type in su,and then it asks for superuser permissions(probably only available through root?) and then you type jit-on and some other things happen that don't really matter here.I believe I answered half your question.Now,if root can be achieved through terminal...I don't think so!It's above my head though...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakzone:
Thanks guys, that cleared up a lot :)

About this recovery, I guess if I can unroot and flash "stock recovery" if there is such a thing, it will not be a problem, is this the case? If I can't maybe I should buy a used device instead of a new one.

About the su/sudo, I have used mostly Ubuntu, and in the users menu I usually had 2 users - admin and root, once I set up a root password. Then I used the admin user and if I needed root access for something I did it with su or sudo + <command>, requiring password, or if it was software launcher requiring root access with a path gksudo + <regular parameters/command> in the launcher properties. For example, as far as I know you cannot change attributes like readable/writeable or edit files which are not personally belonging to your user without root access . It is a really neat and simple feature on the desktop and I am puzzled as to why they removed it from the stock rom. I didn't include this in the original post so that it is not too confusing.

Anyway thanks guys, having been with winmo for the last few years, I will finally give android a go and see if it works for me :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invisible Elf:
Yeah it is relatively easy to flash to complete stock ROM and recovery. There's a guide somewhere in the developer board.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
No. Just no.

There's nothing in the warranty agreement to suggest that (there is a line that confirms that in the N1 agreement, though), and countless people have sent their rooted Desires back to HTC for repairs, and they've all been repaired. They just won't repair it if the ROM you flashed broke some hardware (ie overheated the LED and made it short-circuit).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakzone:
Thanks guys, then I'll get a new device, great :)
[Android Software Development] danbucholtz:
All,

I'm new here. I've heard great things about these forums. I'm interested in developing an application that would require creating a wireless network from the device. I know this functionality is built into the OS, but I don't see an API to do this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? If possible, I would like to have access to such features as SSID name, authentication type/password (I think I read WPA2 is the only one supported, which is fine) and channel.

I recall reading that Google would make public any API they use in their applications, so I imagine this would fall into that category (Froyo "hotspot" functionality).

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm still having wifi (not 3G) network connection issues and hoping someone can help.

I tried enabling wifi on the phone to stay active all the time (never sleep), enabled static setting and I always end up have to manually reconnect to the my wifi router. I've even tried some stay alive wifi apps and nothing seems to work. Nothing always me to stay connected and re-connect automatically to my wifi router. It's very frustrating.

I never had issues with wifi on my x10... until I did a hard reset on my router. I started to have problems connecting to my router.
