[Streak 5 Android Development] ronj1986:
Hi Guys,

My question is for Beta Testers & lucky individual in the US only. Does the Streak allow you to download apps that aren't availabe in the Android Market. ATT hasn't allowed this feature on any of their Android phones thus far, and yesterday I saw a picture where someone has Swype installed. I didn't know if this was a European Streak or US Version.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
yup - swype insnt installed by default - you have to fnd the right version for your screen res - there are three different versions from what i can see. I guess mine is a beta as the official stance on the website is that it is, in beta....although it works great though.

As for the apps - i can copy them to my memory card and install them from there using the "apps installer"

Hope that helps.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Johny1fin:
Hi,

I have installed lots of apps from both the Android Market and Appbrain.

I like both for differnt reasons.

I am sure I have also installed an app from the internet on neither of these.

If you go into the following on your streak -

menu(middle hard button, when on a home page)/settings/applications/unknown sources it will toggle the following setting - allow install of non-market applications

I had to do this at some stage I think when trying to install a non-market app I had the prompt to do this.

I believe the default setting is not allow so mabe the above is all that is needed.

That is of course bearing in mine I have a UK o2 streak and USA is the same ie this toggle available.

If its not available there may be access to it via some 3rd party settings app. I also seen to recall one app though I forget which is 3rd party security app which will prompt to turn this to non allow for security purposes so that when browsing the internet for instance a web site cannot install its own apps.

Hi,

Since flashing the new roms with the sense UI, my echo problem has returned whilst using my bluetooth car-kit. I must stress that this has nothing to do with the other echo problem it was purely when using the car-kit with 2.1 (eclair) and stock "sense" rom.

When Froyo first came out minus the sense UI, the car kit echo was gone. Now I have Froyo+sense+new radio and it has returned.

It has to be either sense or the new radio causing the echo so I decided to flash a few older radios but once booted the network was locked. I tried three different radios until I got to the one I have now but it will no longer allow me to enter recovery mode. It hangs at the red triangle with no response to the recovery-windows.bat file.

I now have a network locked phone that won't enter recovery - it's essentially bricked!!

Any ideas?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigipirex:
Hello everyone,

I have an HD2 with ROM version 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE, downloaded from the HTC website. This particular ROM version includes a keyboard with chinese input, and naturally the device has no problem displaying chinese characters throughout all apps.

Now I'd like to try out some custom roms, like i did on my previous HD, but I wouldn't like to lose this native chinese support feature (on my HD i had to install fonts, a SIP, and so on...), as I currently live in China. So, my question:

Is there a way to add this native chinese input and display support to custom roms, or, alternatively, are there custom roms already with native chinese support?

Thank you very much for your help, in advance.

Best regards,

Luís Pires

I use a cab install by Tom Cordon which adds font support and also the A4 Chinese / English keyboard. search for it or pm me with ur email addy if you need me to send it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigipirex:
Thank you very much for your reply angusc.

On the HD I have tried (with success) that aproach: I have installed the A4 SIP, ported from the HTC Rhodium, and also installed a chinese font (simsum or sunglobe) and made some registry tweaks, so chinese characters would display when necessary.

But I enjoy having on my HD2 this native support, which works flawlessly, and I kinda prefer this SIP to the A4. Here are some screenshots.

(sorry for the links, but as a new poster I can't post outside links yet)

Are there any English-Asia custom roms available? Or any way to add this feature to any rom?

Thanks for your help.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luigipirex:
Thanks for the reply Waichai.

After many hours of search, i came to the conclusion there what I want is not available: a CAB install of ezinput CHS. If i want it, i will only find it on the stock rom, or already cooked into a custom rom.

So there's no alternative besides installing the fonts and a SIP, just like I did on my HD. But I hope one day someone can make the Ezinput CHS into a CAB, that would be just what I (and many other people, I have found out) want. :)

Hi All,

The 1.13.604 update is failing for me and I will be the first to say its no ones fault but my own. After rooting my phone I used Titanium Backup to backup all programs and program data. Titanium made it look like everything went ok.

Then I used Titanium's uninstall feature to remove the following "bloatware":

Amazon MP3 1.7.22

City ID

Voice Search 1.4.0

NFS Shift 1.0

3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1

Voicemail 1.0

Voice Commands

Skype Mobile 1.0.0.9

My Verizon 4.0

This morning I read that the 1.13.604 update can still be rooted so I tired to install it and it failed on me. Then I went back to titanium and attempted to restore the apps I removed and they all fail for some reason(I dont think it backed them up correctly). I have checked off "unknown sources" under applications. If someone could please post the APK files associated with these apps and list their respective install locations they would be my personal hero :)

Thanks in advance,

I am using a Droid x dump to get them but if anyone knows the name of the 3G Mobile Hotspot 2.1-update1 apk or has a copy of it my spider sense tells me this is most likely the issue.

Is there anyway to run logging while the update applies so I can see exactly what is failing. As of this point I have everything put back in its original location accept for the NFS shift Apk since I cant find it online. I am not sure if this is causing the error or something else. Is there a way through ADB I can see the progress of the update and what is not working :(

Try un-rooting then apply the update. Then re-root. Root does work with the 604 update (as I updated then rooted).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paw3lk:
Can somebody recommend me some nice ROM with decent multitasking? I don't care much about speed but I do care about keeping apps running in the background. I can't remember which ROM was my first one when I bought G1 back in January, but I remember multitasking was pretty good. Then I switched to Cyanogen 5 and tried different versions as they were released but all of them had appalling multitasking. I have now installed Complete Eclair and it's not really any better.

Just to clarify what I want to achieve - I want to be able to say open a website, go back to the home screen, open market and be able to switch back to the website exactly as it was when I left it. And then switch back to market and see it exactly as I left it. At the moment it's just not happening, every time I switch to any background application it sort of reloads itself. If your ROM can do this please let me know. Another thing - navigation. As far as I remember I used to be able to press power button to conserve battery and still have voice guidance. Now navigation gets killed as soon as I press power button. Again, if your ROM can do this properly please let me know.

I do need Exchange support so it will have to be at least 2.0 rom I suppose. The only Donut ROMs with Exchange support I have found are Sense ones and these are out of the question because of no BT support.

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
Probably not gonna find what you're looking for. Eclair and Froyo ROMs are so RAM intensive that not much room is left for decent multitasking. I'd say to try and use a giant SWAP partition and a modest compcache with whatever your favorite Eclair ROM is. This is gonna be dog slow most of the rest of the time though.

[EVO 4G General] n8dcj:
Ok , i am not sure what the issue is but Android is doing strange things , it all started a couple of weeks ago ... this is a totally stock phone...

when i turn the phone off , then back on about 50% of the time I am either missing shortcuts or have new ones on the Home page...

the HTC weather widget disappeared one day , when i go to put it back on the home page , it says something like there isn't enough room for it , i remove all the shortcuts , but , it gives me the same message when i go to put it back on the home page...

last week for 3 days i had no battery life at all , i would charge the phone for 8 hours , then i had maybe an hours worth of battery life with it just sitting there , now , this week , i have insane battery life , i charge it for 3 hours and i can go 24 hours using it and still have 50% battery life ....

I have also noticed that some of the "background" apps aren't working (might be part of the battery life) , the alarm clock doesn't go off anymore , my notification sound for email doesn't sound , it no longer automatically synch's with exchange even though it is set to synch as messages arrive...

i am sure there is other stuff i am forgetting , but , there are all sorts of quirky things happening , it is sort of interesting , when i turn it on i never know what to expect ....

any ideas ?

On my N1 a long press of the menu button brought up the keyboard regardless of what app you were in. This is especially helpful in apps that assume you have a physical keyboard (e.g. androidVNC).

Is it possible to edit/change this function?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Great

I use mine all the time. I have a 16gb. I think $130 for a 32gb is crazy. $30 for a 16gb is smart until prices drop.

I use a custom rom that ups the media volume and a new pair of Sony Headphones and this thing is rocking Pandora and my local library with ease.

I also have the trackball skip mod that skips to the next song by double tapping the trackball when the screen is off.... my sony headphones also have a track control.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
I now use my N1 for everything. I take it with me to the gym or when I go out for a jog. I use it to stream internet radio or internally stored music through the bluetooth in my car (and gps).

On a recent road trip my wife wanted to watch a movie on hers so she connected to the cars bluetooth, mounted her N1 and watched the movie with surround sound on the road.

I have a 16gb card now but I think I'll be going to 32gb soon.

The N1 can replace pretty much everything in my opinion.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zok-star:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
Im not totally sure. If I'm at work listening to it or playing with it I have the chance to toss it onto the charger alot. In my car I charge too.

The few times I've forgotten to charge it while at work I get to my car at the end of the day and there is anywhere from 60-75% battery left after listening to music for part/most of the day.

When it comes to video or the screen being on you're not going to last long, on any phone.

My work days are typically 8am-5pm with an hour lunch in there somewhere. The music isnt going constantly because I have work related stuff that I need to pause it for but I've been know to polish off three to four 1 hr+ long podcast a day on rare occasions, lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
I use my N1 for music, too - I have it syncing with MediaMonkey quite nicely for local music, plus Last.FM and a few other streaming apps.

I only have 2 real complaints about it:

1. No genre support - I listen to my music like I listen to FM radio - by genres. I.e. I'll be like, 'hmm, think i want to listen to some Country music today' as opposed to album or artist. I have all my music tagged with the correct genre, but I have yet to find an Android music player app that reads this particular tag and lets me browse by genre. It's really quite frustrating. The only one I know of is the music player in Sense UI, but I obviously don't have (or really want) that entire UI on my N1.

2. Doesn't sync back ratings or last played/playcount meta - Since I only have an 8GB microSD, I have a few autoplaylists setup in MediaMonkey that are limited in size and populate themselves with music from a specific genre that I haven't listened to in the past 30 days - it's a great way to keep my collection fresh. Unfortunately, syncing these to my phone is pointless because the phone doesn't track that I've listened to them, if that makes sense?

Aside from that, it's great. I connect the thing to everything - I have a pair of Bose in-ear earphones that fit *awesome*, and I just picked up a pair of Plantronics Backbeat 903s that work great, too. I have a 3.5mm audio in on my truck that I use when I'm in the car, too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
Those additions would be awesome to be honest. When you have large libraries of music it can get to be a bit much if you're wanting a specific genre at the time. I usually just shuffle all but it would be nice to have this.
