It was a timing thing...I wasn't getting called until after I decided to start mod'ing my phone.

Given that rooting/flashing the phone is because 3rd party developers get their fingers in the code, etc.. I didn't know if there was a possibility an app on the phone "phones home" per se my phone number to some call center.

just trying to connect dots...since it already seems like its a single case of just me, then its not the root / flash issue.

no need to be a **** about it...my original post wasn't flaming anyone nor was it written in poor taste, just trying to connect dots.

I am fine with a mod deleting this thread.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
Well to answer your actual question OP, instead of posting just for the sake of getting my posts up, I haven't experienced anything of that nature. I doubt it would do with rooting though because then many of us would also be complaining about those calls. Maybe an app you installed? website you visited? Text you sent out? try tracing your steps

Edit: Also, if all else fails, just block the number :)

i believe shapewriter is still on market....use it... wonderful app for swype
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappadj:
looks like shapewriter was pulled from the market. The last available version was 3.0.9. It is available in the wild and the company that apparently owns the code isn't providing an alternative. In my opinion they are using the code in their paid non android keyboard apps.

Seems like swype is the next "display rotation" controversy. Companies are desperate to hold onto something to corner the market IMO. The swype beta also expired. I haven't found any available swype apps anywhere. I think there is one in the market but it's expensive. Preying on desperation. Guess we all have to pony up or buy a new phone.

Sorry to be negative, maybe it'll get better but be careful of copywrites guys. The software development world is looking for the next cornerstone after the hardware world has trickled us up to a point we don't need to buy a new phone every 3 months. They don't make cars like they used to do they? :(

**Edit** SlideIT is the app. Not sure of the price atm as I'm back in WinMo for a moment to upload these apks and I'll let you know which one is decent. But again, whichever it is, it may not last forever as the only one that was legally free with a lifetime ownership was shapewriter 3.0.9 but it may lose kernel support at anytime. Maybe android or some dev will create an alternative. I'm sure patents are all out there on this by now. Stupid but whatever.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahijada:
I've tried numerous swype.apks for the past week or so and none is as responsive as the original. maybe its because android is still ran through the SD that swype (also ran from SD) is conflicting? but this is my opinion...

i've tried the swype apk from the EVO and DESIRE. desire link is dead but the EVO link is floating around somewhere still.. BUT, responsiveness is no where to be found. its slow.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappadj:
Tested both the above Swype and found Shapewriter 3.0.9. Both gave me Force Close errors and I had to switch to stock. Going to try the Droid keyboard now

**Edit (again)** Sorry, bad information. I was trying to use the apps by just dropping them in the AndroidApps folder. I uninstalled them and reinstalled using Astro and it looks like they all may be working. I'll have to do some testing to see what works the best. I apologize

Thanks for all the suggestions on this and posting a link to the Shapewriter 3.0.9 file looks like it may be a grey area in regards to copy-writes as I think you had to get it from the market while it was still hot which looks like it was brought down early June. O well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjones1983:
This is probably a retarded question but how do you install the file once you've downloaded it to your SD card? Or do I need to download it from within Android to run it?

Nevermind, figured it out. Thanks anyway.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappadj:
You can use Astro or Dropbox and just click the .apk file to open it. If the file you find is .apk.zip just remove the .zip. You may have enable Windows to show file extensions to do that.

Astro is in the Android Market

Dropbox is an app for your PC and an app for the phone so you can transfer files without rebooting into Windows everytime.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjones1983:
Yeah I noticed the mention of Astro and went and got it and figured it out. Thanks anyway for the information without even meaning to give it lol.

Any reviews or anyone try the driod red one? My Swype is almost unusable it's so slow to respond. But i don't think it's a swype option. Cause when i set the pattern unlock code on mine, i have to draw really slowly cause it lags behind as well. Unless i just had an old one
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappadj:
I am using the Green HTC one so looks like these 2 are decent options. The others worked fine too but I think I'm sticking to this one.

After the .apk is installed go to Menu > Settings > Language and Keyboard and Check the keyboard you want to have available. Then find an empty text box and long press till you see Input Method and then just select the keyboard you want.

Additionally, there are some settings within the Language and Keyboard you can tweak around to make it a little faster but it's pretty good stock. It takes a bit to load the first time and like anything, if you have a lot of apps running in the background, live wallpaper, old Android image and widgets while running on a Class 2 SD card it will probably be slow. Change as much of that as you can and it should get faster with newer Android builds and if\when NAND is in place to run off internal storage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahijada:
I've used swype for almost the entire time I was in windows and cannot even compare the speed to swype on this android. Swype on android right now is slow. This is using the EVO swype, and DROID swype (above post). Droid swype is much faster than the EVo, but still, will not compare to the swype from windows. I cannot even speed swype lol...

I'll wait patiently for faster builds in the future. For now, its back to the stock froyo keys.

And yes.. I've done almost ALL that is possible to speed my hd2oid up. Swype is still slow.

i found this 2 apk for swype from evo4g xda forum

So i ask for your help on how to add the italian language to the modded version and how to install it since it's a zip file and the recovery tips didnt worked for me since when hd2 reboot, it obviously reboot into windows.

Can please someone post the "mic version" with italian language or all languages?

Thank you in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callmecooper:
why dont yall just sign up for the beta, it takes like a day or two foor you to get an invite back, and you always get the most up to date version.

at least, thats what im doing.

Also, swype is working for me as fast as ever. i never have any lag in the trace line or the responsiveness. its probably because you guys are using old versions of swype.

You need to sign up for the beta and you will be able to get the most current version of swype.

I was going to upload the current version of swype that i have, but i could not find it in the tree anywhere. normally all applications install to /system/app but this was not the case for swype.

if anyone can find out where swype installs itself, please let me know and i will be more than happy to throw the current versios of swype up for download.

Everytime I reboot my phone, swype disappears! It works great until I reboot, then I have to go through the lengthy install of the beta. I've searched the net but the only solution someone posted is to install it on the device-not the SD card, which is where mine was anyway.

I've done a bit of searching both in the marketplace and out, and can't find icon/widgets that do unread count for Google-Voice and/or Corp (exchange) e-mail.

Anyone know of such a gadget?

I second that..mainly i need an unread mail widget for my copr exchange.

http://nowsci.com/ultimateunreadwidget/

update: I went ahead and dropped the big $1.00 on it but I am unable to make it work as of yet. It FC's when I try to add the widget. After FC'ing a few times, it will allow me to add the widget, but it doesn't "do" anything ... likely because the background service has been FC'd. I'll send the developer a note and see if I can get it working.

FYI I'm on Froyo & ADW.

Also, for those still looking a G-Voice unread count, go find the apk with the most recent G-voice client (it's here on XDA somewhere ... was pulled from the G2).

I just noticed that the GPS never actually makes a connection with satellites. If I turn off A-GPS, no GPS functionality works what so ever.

Anyone else have this issue, or know how to fix it?
[Droid X General] pima:
I don't use A-GPS and it works for me
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
I assume you mean the "Enable Assisted GPS" setting. I've been ruining without it and been fine.

In fact it gets a reading so fast without this setting, I was wondering what the A-GPS sering was for. I thought it's to improve the speed of the sat lock.

Would it help with battery too?
[Droid X General] Grims:
Well then i wonder what's up with mine?
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
The point of aGPS (from my non-technical understanding) is it is there to speed up the acquisition of satellites via data service telling the phone where the sats should be. So depending on your view of the sky and other conditions aGPS can make a big difference in how long it takes to get a sat lock. I know it did for my WinMo phones. However whatever GPS receiver they put in the DX doesn't seem to need it nearly as much. I rarely see more than a 3 second delay just turning GPS on. As a matter of fact it locks quicker than my Tomtom.
[Droid X General] Grims:
Ironicly, rooting it resolved the issue.
[Droid X General] WaVeS:
Rooting is seems to have messed up my GPS. I can't get a correct lock.
[Vibrant General] Doon22:
I guess the droid X now has a little app that lets a person root and unroot with a simple click. I know the vibrant root is about as easy as it gets, but I am curious to know if someone would want to create something like the Droid X guys have done?

Anyone interested?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
When all you have to do is download a tiny file from your phones browser, rename it, and flash it.... I doubt there is going to be much interest in putting so much effort into this. I mean, it literally took less than 2 minutes to root (I know you know this too... just saying).

Would be cool... doubt anyone is that bored?
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
The Droid X root method takes ADB commands (what I briefly read) that can be setup in a script in an app. Ours you're required to flash from the recovery.

[Vibrant General] bessertier:
Like it was said before the Droid X doesn't take a Recovery Flash to get Root, and although I think technically it would be possible, I believe its better that people that can't figure it out don't mess with the phone, everyone knows someone who could do it, so people who don't understand should start making friends :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] itsallsubliminal:
I'd like to apologize for the pictures, i had low light at home, but i'm sure you get the point :)

PROTOTYPE ONE~

BOOMSAKALAKA!!!!

Short List of what my procedure was:

1. unscrew top screws

2. cut to fit Evo landscape

3. put plastic on for fitment before glue.

4. applied glue to plastic, then glued to the wheel.

Waited to dry.

So I am always looking for ways to be crafty, and after CM6 was released, I needed a way to play my NBA Jam, NBA Hangtime, Megaman, etc. with a wiimote.

I was at the dollar store with my gf (Dollar Tree), and saw this Wii Steering wheel for a buck. I said what the heck, i'll buy it and make a project out of it.

Well, about an hour and a half later, i have my customized GameGear-Like Mount(Evo Edition)...

The wheel comes in 2 halves, with 4 screws(one in every corner) keeping them together. I removed the top 2 screws and sliced off the top half just enough to fit my Evo landscape. Reason only the top half was modified is to have back support for the device.

The flat piece of black plastic is actually the back door to an old tv/dvd remote i had lying around, i just sliced off the prongs/clips to make it as flat as possible.

Now the actual bracket like mount which i had superglued to the black plastic cover is from IQ Mobile solutions. I had purchased the car mount from bestbuy and it came with a few extra parts like this one. (its advertised there for an ipod/iphone, but it is completely universal, just mount the small plastic square on the back of your phone)

The product looks like this:

I slide my evo from the top into the little bracket and this thing holds like a freakin CHAMP! I couldn't be happier (except i did a half-ass job on the cutting of the plastic lol but for a DOLLAR WHO CARES!)

I couldn't take a pic while holding 2 handed, had to use a mirror lol

This is the product package I bought from Dollar Tree:

So lemme know what you guys think. Its really a simple procedure, i just can't believe it worked so well first shot!

Please don't post about the thing i had to stick on the back of my phone, if you dont like it, i'm sure you can figure a way to make something else work. I bought it as a car mount, made the sacrifice and it is Saweet! The extra pieces from the kit enabling me to make this was a blessing :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
Nicely done man, very creative. I like it a lot. I love sourcing stuff at the dollar store too! You can find a lot of useful stuff there. It looks like you have some kind of skin on the back of the phone? You said not to post about sticking something on the back, so I'm going to resist :p. Since you have the phone mounted to the center of the wheel, you can cut off the top two parts right? Or are they weight bearing?
[EVO 4G Accessories] oOflyeyesOo:
Hell yeah man, that is awesome, great job on that, looks sick.
