[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osin83:
wow... thanks

Ok... thank you so much for doing this. I am in the same boat as you as far as time to research everything goes. I had rooted my 1.5 hero last november and recently upgraded to 2.1. Just reverted to .5 so I could root but was totally lost as far as what ROM would keep me as close to stock as possible.

My goals were to find a ROM that allows me to 1)remove some bloatware, 2) overclock, 3) possibly wifi tether and 4) further improve battery life. I just didnt want to lose any functionality since I really love the hero. Only thing is since this upgrade, it's a slug. OP, Do you think using the ROM/Kernel pair you installed I'd be happy considering my goals?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theresthatguy:
there's one good way to find out. if you don't like it you can always do a nandroid.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osin83:
agreed... going to root later on tonight and i'll try both... looking forward to no more lag and some fresh new changes to the UI
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osin83:
Thought I would get more of a performance boost... installed SetCPU and tweaked some settings and its a little better

Android has been ported over to many Apple Iphones recently and I have yet to see a working build for the Apple Ipad. Are there currently any efforts going on to get Android working on the Ipad?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
If u say many u mean devices before the 3GS.... These are many? When u want android why not buy a tablet with android!?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gimpeh:
I actually just purchased the new android tablet from Kmart. Are you trying to make a point or attempting to be a douchebag?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] duke911:
AFAIK, Android on the iPhone is still in early stages, there are still some things that don't work.

I guess the people behind the project might take a look at the iPad after they are done with porting android to the iPhone.

Just my 2 cents :)

BTW, how is that tablet feel?? I read the preview on Engadget, it seems like a good deal for the price you pay.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GizmoTheGreen:
Actually my grandfather offered to buy me an iPad while he is in Florida, I accepted, for the lulz mostly.

But if I can put android on it, that'd be awesome
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freebirdfovrever:
Any updates on this? Any guys from XDA looking to start a project? Would be great if this would happen, as then I would not have to choose between iPad 2 or Android :) Cheers!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DarkVasyaK:
Hello, I am in London now and I would like to buy Samsung Galaxy S (off contract) but I'm not sure where it would be better to do it. Moreover I really need a case which covers back but not the screen to make it less iPhonish and less plastic feeling. Could you, guys, please, advise me something? I was going to buy Captivate in the USA but I'm not sure if it'll be unlocked until I leave it at the end of this summer. Thanks for attention.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheMaverick:
Are o2 still doing the deal for around 430 unlocked? Also I'm after a decent case too!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nyssa1104:
CPWH (Carphonewherehouse) sim free £410 that's with a £10 credit top up.

As for the O2 deal I read it was £330 sim free these are the 8GB handsets by the way..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yangshouwen:
Got mine from o2 on pay as you go for £329.99 with £10 top up. It is the 8gig model but comes with a 8gig class 6 micro sd card in the box. Was unlocked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] c0d3x42:
I got one on the o2 deal. Didn't see it mentioned in the shop anywhere. Asked about it and the scanned the box and sure enough £319.99 + 10 for a topup.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Got the unlocked phone from O2 as well. £319.99 for the 8GB version that comes with an 8GB Class 6 card, which does make a difference if you're the type who tends to changes stuff on the phone a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nyssa1104:
there was a deal online for O2 18mts contact phone free 100mins p/m @£20 p/m... (£360)

[Captivate General] irus:
Ok so i know you can use ringo but I was hoping there was a way i can set individual ringtones with out using 3rd party app. I have all my ringtones in ogg and mp3 format but I can't find a way to pick a ringtone based on contact. Anyone know of a way? Thanks
[Captivate General] Kiserai:
Try this (this works on most other android phones)

1. Create a folder in the root of your SD card called ringtones (lower case r at the front).

2. Put all the mp3 versions of the ringtones you want to use in this folder.

3. Reboot your phone.

4. Now, all the ringtones should show up when you go to select a ringtone for you phone.

5. Go to your contacts and pick the person you want to assign a custom ringtone for.

6. At that person's main contact page, hit the Menu button (the capacitive button at the bottom left of your phone) and select Options

There it should have a spot for assigning a custom ringtone for that contact.

You can also create a folder on the root of your SD card called notifications (also a lower case n at the beginning) and you can put in sounds you want to use for e-mail, SMS and other notications. On my Nexus you usually have to reboot after adding or removing files from these folders to be able to see them, and I would stick with an mp3 format as much as possible.

Also, there aren't any ways to add custom notifications for a person that I know of yet, outside of maybe a 3rd party app.

If you have any other general Android questions try searching XDA or Google for the answers. A lot of the google results will link back to XDA, but maybe for another device (but the answer will apply to most Android devices overall).
[Captivate General] irus:
Thanks for the reply but the problem is Samsung has an UI overlay and when u get to step 6 there is no menu option
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Hit the menu button.
[Captivate General] irus:
I see the problem now I can't assign ringtones for my google contacts for some reason :(
[Captivate General] rahlquist:
Google contacts dont seem to allow it. So I guess the question is how do we convert contacts from google to standard phone contacts.
[Captivate General] saint168:
I can't believe Samsung took out this important feature!
[Captivate General] marten.broadcloak:
I can answer that...I had the same issue, and figured it out this evening.

Export your contacts in GMail to a VCard file, then dump that file onto the SD card on the phone.

Import/Export while in your address book, and make sure you select "Phone" and not your linked GMail accounts.

Problem solved. ;)
[Captivate General] irus:
thats what i did and it worked :)
[Captivate General] Cobra302:
awesome! gonna try it now! i've been looking for a way to do this :D
[Captivate General] Cobra302:
ok, so i tried this, and it shows a linked contact, the phone and the gmail. but in order for it to work, i'm having to make the phone the default not gmail, and then unlink the contact. does that make sense?
[Captivate General] saint168:
You don't need to import contacts. You can create a new contact on your "phone", not Gmail, with the same name. Afterward, the new contact will automatically linked to the Gmail contact. Then edit that contact and you will see a new tab called "Phone", inside that tab is where you can change the ringtone.
[Captivate General] johnnyb138:
i like having all of my contacts synced to google for quick editing and for backup, will I have to create new contacts twice to assign them a custom ringtone? it seems we are missing a few important features.

this also affects group sms, since the sms program wont look at google groups, only local groups
[Captivate General] Cobra302:
this seems to be hit and miss for some reason. i was able to move my contacts to the phone, it linked them, and allowed me to edit the phone version to have a custom ringtone. the problem now is that sometimes the ringtone works other times it just goes to default. is there a way to not sync your gmail contacts to the phone and install them manually?
[Captivate General] howudodat:
all of these work arounds are pretty stupid. The fact that samsung, disabled this feature, or that android doesn't support it is STUPID. If you do any of these steps you end up having duplicate contacts. Worse yet, on many menus, it will show 4 phone numbers (ie 2 for mobile and 2 for home). I can't belive such a fundamental feature is SOOOOO broke.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerox8610:
Okay so i loaded up Tazz's CM6 Froyo V3 only to find my A2SD wouldnt work on it. Never having used Nandroid RESTORE before i chose a Evil Eris 2.0.1 backup i had. restored. And i'm stuck in a boot loop.

So i battery pull. And flash the 2.0.1 like i normally would any other ROM. well im still stuck in a boot loop...... can anyone help me????
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I rooted a friends eris today and flashed senseable and got stuck in a boot loop. It was a refurb with the 1.49 bootloader so I decided to put the engineered bootloader (1.49.2000 or whatever it is) on it then I installed the original root rom via fastboot and it booted up normally. Could be different circumstances though.

Sent from my leaked rooted HTC Droid Eris with Sense-Able 3.1 using Swype.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
If you are still able to access the recovery menu try to do a Data / Factory Wipe and a Dalvik-Cache Wipe. once done load a different ROM onto your sd card and flash or try your nandroid backup again. if you are still having issues PM me or find me on irc.andirc.net #droideris, or the web client chat.andirc.net
[Touch Pro CDMA] cosmok:
I posted this at PPCgeeks as well, hopefully someone here can help me figure this out.

I recently did a ##786# reset and now I can't seem to get the radio to turn on (after turning it on in communications tab the "No Service" icon is displayed). I'm able to call *228 with the 1.08.99V (or U?) radio from the ESN repair thread, but I can't make or receive any calls.

In CDMA workshop it's showing the following:

Mode: CDMA (Sleep)

Entry: Offline Mode

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro CDMA] cosmok:
Figured it out, needed to do the ##786# reset with the 1.08.99 radio to allow write access. Works great now. This can be closed

[EVO 4G General] itlbok333:
I have been searching and searching.

I am currently rooted and want to update to the leaked 2.2 froyo release. I understand it will break the root and that is fine with me. I can not however find out how exactly to do it...

Most update instructions say " Hold up volume while phone boots" I have tried this and nothing happens. If I try to install update.zip though clockwork, it always fails even if I clean and wipe...davlik too!

Any help would be greatly appreciated,....I need some FROYO!
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
go get the rooted update netarchy put out and flash it just like you would any rom. you even get to keep root.
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
And lose wifi tether.
[EVO 4G General] tkrechel:
lies, wifi tether works fine for some
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
Are you guys confirming that the 2.2 update does remove your root access like the previous updates? Somehow that seems very unlikely......
[EVO 4G General] IRhino:
If you do an OTA update to get the stock 2.2, you WILL loose root. Confirmed.
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
Is there any way to reset or callibrate the sensor manually? After having to get a replacement phone my new X10 sensor is to the left, noticed it when playing racing thunder game them in Layer the horrizon is squint. Very annoying and cant seem to find anywhere to calibrate the sensor??
[XPERIA X10 General] scott2121210:
I would also be interested in the callibrate function because I do not see it anywhere on my Xperia X10i.
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
still seem to be having this problem really annoying when using tilt games have to hold the phone at an angle to keep strait
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
There's an app called Bubble which acts as a levelling tool, it has a calibration feature but I'm not sure if the calibrated settings would then be global or just for that specific app. Worth a try though.
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
yeah i have that although it only callibrates that app
[XPERIA X10 General] go3asy:
still no idea how to fix this, getting very annoying in racing games lol

:S :S it's reaaaaaaaaally annoying

how can it be solved?! :mad:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Jdawg183:
Are there any apps out there that will fix duplicate contacts? When I had my WM phone, for some reason a bunch of times when I flashed new ROM's then reconnected to my Exchange server, it would restore the contacts with one more instance then the time before of several contacts. The result is that now that I have my Inc synced up to the server, I have 2 of some contacts, 3 of some and even some have 4. For WM, there was a program called Trine Fix that would search for duplicate contacts and merge them. It worked well (until I flashed another rom). Is there anything like that for Android?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] magneticzero:
you prob want to check your sync settings and turn off sync contacts with google, make sure you dont have backup assistant(that was a pain in the ass for me and cant turn it off unless you master reset)

just a thought
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:
i flashed the new froyo radio and i saw a box with an arrow pointing to an android...whats this mean?

and do i need the froyo rom before i update the radio and wimax? maybe thats why it didnt work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
You can flash the radio update to any ROM, including 2.1 ROMs. Froyo is not required.

You can check your version by going to menu/settings/about phone/software information

Baseband version = radio version

The latest is 2.15.00.07.28

Here's proof, notice I'm not using Froyo.....
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
The FPS is obviously capped again in Froyo. Is there a kernel to unlock it anywhere yet? I know it just came out, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] vinscuzzy:
This one works, but it does break the rear camera. I'm using 3.7.3c

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726854

Edit: not sure if works with Fresh 3.0, but it does work with the 2.2 Rom netarchy released.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Thanks. I'll wait.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
there won't be a complete fix until HTC releases the new kernel source that's in Froyo (kernel .32)
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Is that the update that comes out on Tuesday? I'm confused.
[EVO 4G General] vinscuzzy:
The original "fixes", like the one done by ffolkes, were implemented before the source was released. Let's hope we won't have to wait too long.....

Admittedly, I'm not 100% up to speed on flash memory tech, but I'm shopping for a new card, and ran into this:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendo:
yeah....not that I can afford to throw away money or anything, but I figure it's probably worth it to try.

It seems that the 8 gb cards are in a real sweet spot right now pricewise. It still amazes me when I look at these tiny chips and think about how much you can fit in there

ur right. if uve gotta hide somethin from ur gf/wife stick it in a mini sd, bury it under ur pillow and we're all safe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vakman:
I also have a Kingston Class 10 card in mine, seems to work well, but I really have nothing to compare it to. Didn't check read and write speeds yet as I only recently got it.

Odd company, but the one review on Amazon looks decent, and for that cheap... that is either really good or it isn't going to be a Class 10 card. I guess you will find out but they certainly exist.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /rant/:
I got a Class 10 Kingston microSDHC with 16 GB. You notice the difference if you preview like 700 pictures or move big apps to SD. I cannot say if it is much faster than a Class 6, but I think it is definately worth it. Also, with 2.2 and 720p recording it might work better, but I had no time to test it yet.

An fyi, the speed across the leash is capped so transfers dont go any faster unless you pull the sd card and plug it into the pc. I get a huge difference doing that with my class 10 but in the phone nothing over the stock sd whatever the hell that was.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmarti:
Kingmax also make good rams, I used them back in the day on the IBM 600X.

If it's a real Kingmax then you are good to go.

I got that kingmax 8GB class 10. In my Windows 7 transfer (both to a usb reader and to the built in sd reader of the macbook pro), my transfer (write speed) is good but not 10MB/sec. It tops at around 8.5MB/sec and hovers at the 8MB/sec pretty much.

But then again my 8GB class 4 from PNY is going to around 6.5MB/sec lol....

Basically, you just open a page in Chrome or Firefox (yes, there's a Firefox add-on available, just search for it), and press the button in your toolbar. A few moments later (or whenever you open the app on your device, not too sure as I haven't played with it enough) the link is sent to your Froyo-running handset and you get a pop-up asking if you want to open it in your browser/Maps/whatever.

Nifty for stuff on-the-go, like Maps and directions, as cnstarz said.
