Glad to hear it... but clearly I am *NOT ALONE* on this issue: there was some serious lag going on specifically with the default mail client. To the point that I really tried to avoid checking the email in that client at all, if I could avoid it. It was really, really slow....and the Gmail app was snappy & fast.

Anyhow, the "fix" I posted has totally resolved that issue, as well as speeding up a number of other apps/functions. Really amazing!

Out of curiosity, did you ever apply a "factory reset" that many folks seem to recommend? I never did.
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
Nope. No factory resets. No lag fixes. No GPS fixes. Only thing I have done is root and install Clockwork. Everything has been working great for me since day one. Guess I got lucky.
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
Indeed you are lucky! ;)

Out of curiosity, what is the ClockworkMod for?
[Vibrant General] Yogi76:
The HTML mail problem with Exchange is only with Exchange 2003. I added an account hosted on an Exchange 2007 server and it displayed HTML mail fine. I even found a whitepaper from Microsoft that mentions one of the new features of Exchange ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 to be syncing of HTML mail, so it is on the server end. The iPhone mail app and Touchdown for Android both display HTML mail from an Exchange 2003 server fine, so they are doing something to overcome this limitation.
[Vibrant General] MV10:
Clockwork is a replacement for the stock recovery software.
[Vibrant General] pseongho:
I have the same problem. The default email on my Vibrant is unusably slow with Exchange server.
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
You need to apply one of the lag-fixes found around these forums (or on the marketplace).

OPTION #1: Search the Market for "one click lag fix", download/install, and then apply the lag fix. Very easy to do.

OPTION #2: Go here and use the Method1 lag fix.

The "One-Click Lag Fix" is easy to do and certainly best all-around, though I've found it to slow down over time. Definitely a *huge* improvement over stock, though, and will make your apps run very well.

The OPTION #2 is my preference, though, as it runs even faster for day-to-day use, and doesn't seem to slow down. There are drawbacks, however, in that your app install space is limited. Installing some of the VERY large games probably won't work. Also, you'll need to at least have access to "root" with Busybox and a Terminal Emulator installed. You can easily manually type in the 4 lines of commands to get that lag-fix going.

Hope that helps.

[Vibrant General] Veetus:
I am with the OP. This email app sucks.
[Vibrant General] drhonk:
I had the same problem until I applied the lag fix. It's not the best client but it's usable now.
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
Post lag-fix, I'm finding the stock email client pretty decent. It has a number of similarities to the stock Gmail client, so going between them isn't such a stark contrast, which is nice.

Anyhow... installing some sort of lag-fix *IS* the solution here. No doubt about it.
[Vibrant General] vgz01:
Add another person to the club. The lag fix made my email app exponentially better. Night and day difference. I used RyanZA's market app on a stock/rooted phone.

question, if i do a factory data reset, would that be restored to 2.1 or 2.2? im running 2.2 right now

Hi guys.

Can anyone please let me know if i need to unrooted my Desire to get the OTA update.

Or if i'll get it anyway even with it rooted?

Anyone?
[Desire General] SimonCraddock:
you can apply the OTA update if you wish but it maybe weeks, months or impossible to gain root access again if they've closed the loopholes so it could well be your stuck with it.
[Desire General] KBanause:
Maybe someone of the members here will provide us with a root-enabled update.zip

I've actually been *pleasantly* surprised with the Vibrants gallery app (gallery3d.apk), though I'm stymied that it seems to default to showing photos in an "oldest first" format. Is this true for everyone else? Anyone know how to change this behavior?

Thanks,

Yip

*** CHECK THIS POST for a partial (very cool) solution to this issue ***
[Vibrant General] 18.4009:
Mine does the same thing. Kind of a pain when you have a lot of photos and have to scroll through tons of them to get to the latest pics.
[Vibrant General] defconoi:
yea this I find annoying, wonder how we can hack it...
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
Hmmm...so others are seeing the same thing, eh? I guess we're hoping someone finds a workaround for this. It's actually a very full-featured gallery app, so I'm surprised that something like this was left out -- seems like a natural option to set. In fact, it *should* be the default setting, if you ask me.

Hopefully someone will solve this AND/OR it'll be fixed in the next OS refresh.
[Vibrant General] renegadedj:
+1 same annoying behavior. for the 3d gallery app looking so nice and polished, and the sharing having so many options, the basic preferences is quite lacking. :/

such as sort, delete confirmations, and so on and so forth
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
Partially solved!

Quick update on this:

I found another thread that allows you to replace the stock Vibrant camera app with the stock Captivate camera app -- basically because it's easier to use, selecting scenes, and so forth. Really a nice update.

Anyhow, I was noting that the new camera app placed everything in a "Camera" folder instead of the "Photos" folder. Rather than fuss with it, I just used Astro to move all of the photos to the new location, and then I deleted the old Photos folder.

So.... I opened up the Gallery app and voila! All of the photos are now sorting properly: newest first! Still no way to select any other sort option, but this is DEFINITELY the proper default setup.

Hope that helps someone else out there!

[Droid X General] mavermc:
So i got fed up with widgets and google voice not showing contact pics. So i removed my facebook and twitter account. But there is still no pictures where before when i would unlink a contact the pic would start working. But none of them work in these apps. I've tried resyncing the google contacts and still no pictures. What can i do short of wiping my phone? thanks
[Droid X General] mavermc:
So this what i did to kinda fix the problem.

I noticed when i logged into my facebook account it would start loading up all the pics from my google acount (which is what i want) once it was done with that it started to replace them with facebook images which would make the widgets and google voice go blank again. So i just logged into facebook and waited till most of my pctures showed up then removed the facebook account partway through the sync. Now i have my google contact pictures in voice. Well most of them anyway. I guess it will do for now untill i can figure out a way to manually control these pictures. Damn u motoblur
[Droid X General] drew630:
If the pictures are from facebook they will only show up on your contacts. third party software cannot access facebook data, which is a decision made by facebook. It is not motoblur related.
[Droid X General] mavermc:
Ah that makes sense but it doesn't explain my orginal problem that now that i've removed the facebook account none of those apps have any pictures (even though i do have pics with my google account) if i could just get those back and working fully id be happy
[Droid X General] drew630:
Maybe remove your google account and facebook account to try and clear all your contacts. Then re add your google acct and not the facebook account. Im not too sure.

Im not even sure if you can remove the google acct.
[Droid X General] mavermc:
Nah i tried removing my google account its the master account and it told me to do a format in the system options. Im almost considering it but i need to get all the apps i want all orginized so it doesn't take me forever to reinstall.

I figure by now someone would have made an app or be a menu in the system for controlling contact pictures. It seems the mtoblur sync for facebook (because the offical facebook account can't be used on the droid x) and once its synced just says its the contact pictures now and doesn't give any option not to turn it off. I really do like the status updates when people call but id rather be able to see contact pictures on my homescreen.
[Droid X General] eighty1:
Try syncmypix app
[Droid X General] mavermc:
already formated but maybe i'll look at that app this time around for syncing some of my pictures, do you guys know of anyway that I could sign into the facebook moto blur account and not have picture synced? because isn't that the only program that will show me status updates when someone calls?

I'm not sure if a dev will see this (hopefully someone will), but is it possible to put the Android 2.2 keyboard from the N1 onto the Sense ROMs? I personally cannot stand the Sense keyboard at all, it just feels terrible, and doesn't seem very good IMO. I know on the Fresh ROM he had an input called HTC_IME mod or something along those lines, and although it looked like the Sense keyboard it was truly awesome (just like the 2.2 keyboard) if anyone at all knows if I could possibly put the HTC_IME mod onto the new 2.2 Sense Froyo or the N1 keyboard on the new 2.2 it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is at all a noob question. :confused:
[Streak 5 General] devdarshan:
Hi

I have a few queries if someone can clear please? Have been using HD2 and been on WM too long so moving onto Android - so guys please if you can get the time reply.

I am considering buying this direct from DELL (I dont like O2 - so buying unlocked and direct) and was wondering if it will work with my TMobile UK SIM card and Vodafone UK Sim Card - I read somewhere that Dell is not going to support TMobile so got me worried as I am in TMobile UK now and cannot move for another 2-3 months and my office SIM is from Vodafone.

Does Dell Streak sync contacts, tasks and calender from Outlook ( I know there is an app for sync'ing with exchange - but my office has exchanged locked down so unable to sync online over the air) and all my stuff is on outlook. I read somewhere it has an inbuilt app to sync stuff with outlook for this?

Google Maps 4.1.1 - does it work on the streak and provide Voice guided navigation for UK based maps (am based in UK) - also does it point forward - like other navigation apps like Tomtom etc? The only reason I never got to use google maps was the fact it never showed the forward direction upwards so I ended up taking the wrong turn always!!!

Lastly, I see conflicting stuff about the memory some where it says 512MB and other places 2GB - so how much internal memory does the Streak REALLY have 512 or 2GB? When you install apps on Android does it use this 512 or 2GB or whatever for storing the apps?

I am really looking forward to buying this - so guys please reply and make my day!

Thanks/D
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
yes you can use it on t-mobile uk ( i currently am) t-mobile usa is not supported however.

the streak also syncs full contacts from most office based applications via 3rd party apps.

google nav works well on the streak. not had any problems at all.

Hi

Dunno if it is possible, but i really like the LauncherPro and app drawer, and 3d app drawer when moving smootly, but I also like the effects from Sense UI, when it rains and the wiper "cleans" the screen for example.

Is it possible to get both at the same time?

Fancy widget only enables the Sense clock widget, but gets no effects :(
[Desire General] AndroHero:
beautiful widgets have sence style clock and animated weather
[Desire General] xtcislove:
Beautiful Widgets has this effects, too.

But i want this ^^ 3D App Drawer and the rest of the look of the original Froyo_Launcher (LauncherPRO is not simmilar and its Sense Widgets not, too)

Can not someone make a SensePRO ? :D Or only edit the interface?
[Desire General] larsn84:
Year, but beautiful widgets doesn't "make it rain" on the screen :)

only when you enter the widget... ¨¨

Like when its cloudy, clouds fade in over the screen when you unlock it with Sense

It's all in the foreground
[Desire General] Poodlemastah:
It does now with the 3.x versions if you enable it in the options.
[Desire General] ice_prophecy:
Actually the newest patch I'm using does exactly what sense does. When you unlock it does the funky weather effect across the screen
[Desire General] ch0wn:
Currently, I use LauncherPro for 3 reasons:

1) Swapping among the screens is MUCH more faster/smoother than Sense, and I really have no idea why!

2) 3D drawer

3) It looks very nice

However, I really miss a lot the HTC widgets, like Footprints, Mail widget (it would be nice to get one like this for K-9 Mail), pictures widget...and so on.

It would be perfect to gather Launcher's smoothness (for the screens) / 3D drawer with Sense widgets..but I know it's not possible.

I'll check latest beautiful widgets to see what it offers..
[Desire General] larsn84:
Nice. Haven't checked the latest version, but I'm definitely going to. Thanks for heads up. Btw is it the paid version?
[Desire General] ice_prophecy:

[General Questions and Answers] _ray_:
hello all..

I have a contract upgrade due next month and i am looking to get my first android phone..

am currently with orange and they have a nice selection of phones to choose from..

My options are

1. Xperia X10

2. Samsung Galaxy S

3. HTC Desire

I already have a sound knowledge of which phone does wat and their specs but i need a first hand opionion from the actual people who use it themselve.

The main thing i am looking in a phone is that it shud last me the next 18 months i know its a bit optimistic but i done want to buy a phone dat is outdated in next 8months or so

secondly i need a phone with good multimedia capabilities e.g watching movies both on youtube and through sdcard...listening to music...playing latest top of the line 3d games on high fps...browsing internet/checking emails and taking the odd picture/movie

Now i know all of the above mentioned phone do these but the question is which phone does is better than other ?

I have read that each phone has got its pros and cons for e.g samsung is a bit laggy in certain places and for me desire isnt the best looking phone out there when compared to xperia and samsung and list is even longer with xperia x10 including no MT and outdated OS (dun wanna wait till the new OS and still its not guarenteed if they gonna fix all da issues)

MT for some of you might be overrated but for me its a must have feature as more n more apps/games will b utilizing it in coming days also i have heard dat samsung MT is much more responsive then HTC what is your opinion about it?

software updates/customer care is another issue me as i dont wanna be hanged aound waiting for an year just to get an update which is already 8 months old..

I will also be looking to root my phone is the future as i have done it with my htc touch hd in the past..so in this respect which phone is more safe/better bet?

please feel free to post ur comments...
[General Questions and Answers] jahnile:
In the end you need to look @ two out of the 3 phones you listed, I would remove Xperia X10 from your final selection just because it's the only on on your list that is currently running 1.6. now it's totally up to you if you like the Touch wiz on the Samsung Galaxy S or the Award winning HTC sense on the HTC Desire. Also the desire looks to be getting Android 2.2 before the Galaxy S.

My personal choice would def.ly be the Desire, good luck....

This is a question for those in the know when it comes to programming.Why isn't there a way to revive a bricked phone? Can't there be some method for a host computer to manually write the radio to the device? How does HTC fix a bricked phone for it to be a refurb?

I'm just very curious about this because I see a few people attempt to update the radio only to lose power and brick their EVO. I have no programming experience so don't know what goes on at the internal component level. Thanks in advance for your input.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soylent Grin:
It goes back to the old bootstrapping problem when computers were being developed. A computer (in this case, your cell phone) is pretty dumb at the hardware level. All it can do is run programs. That's ALL it can do. It can't even load a program, only run them. Thus the problem. It gets solved by injecting a "bootstrap" program at startup (from the phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps") which is a program that runs and gives access to all the I/O, and the computer can then load more programs.

When you update this bootstrapping program, it gets dicey, because if it isn't written right, or if there's a glitch during the update, this most basic of all functions gets corrupted. If the program that tells the phone how to load programs goes away, all the phone can do is... sit there. Like a brick.

Hope this helped!
