[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Technical correction: there is no GSM or non-GSM Nexus One, and there is no WCDMA or non-WCDMA (which is UMTS) Nexus One. The difference between the networks is in the transmission frequency, not in the system.

What to buy? Depends on what you do more. GS would be better for games, Nexus - for modding and using in the future (Froyo, Gingerbread, etc).

nexus one user here and loving it... i would personally get the captivate if it gets rooted (unless it already has been)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple Drama Llama:
The Nexus will be around for a while, while the captivate is just another Android phone with the dreaded Samsung support. Honestly it looks very cheap to me. I also had the decision to go with a Captivate but went with the Nexus One and can't regret my decision. It's just an overall amazing phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
I believe i have read that the captivate has been rooted already.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
The captivate is an awesome phone. A friend of mine has it and loves it. I used it briefly and became a little jealous of speed and screen quality. Then I remembered why I love my nexus. Its the developer phone with huge community support, its not locked down by att so there's no att bloatware and you can actually sideload apps instead of only using the market. Plus running stock android allows much better rom options. Not to mention Samsung support is notoriously bad and they tend to never updated their os. So you'll probably get an android 2.2 updated but then the rest will have to be supported by the dev community.

Wrapping up my jabber jaw... Captivate is well worth it if you just want an android phone with power and features. It really isn't if you want to be able to dig around and customize/optimize your phone... plus have updates and a strong developer support. That's what's good about the nexus.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spenceee:
My phone was running like crap so I ran the task killer and it only got back 35 megs of free memory. I checked for running services and it was no where near the amount of missing memory. I restarted the phone and I have 150 megs again...

I wouldn't have thought a memory leak would be possible in an os where everything is run in java. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Sent from my AWESOME Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 General] igniztion:
This has nothing to do with memory leaks, but is how Android memory management works. Using task killers usually mess up the automatic memory management.

The default settings for memory management on the Galaxy S aren't optimal unfortunately. Using Autokiller from the market, you can modify these settings (requires root) and avoid the device bogging down because of low memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Qmotion:
I downloaded the root file from here. Installed it in the root directory. When I rebooted into recovery mode and selected "reinstall packages" I got an error saying could not read file, sdcard/update.zip . Then it aborted the install. I had removed the sd card so I would make no mistakes putting it in that directory. Is it possible the recovery mode is looking for the files to be there?

Is it possible that the file is bad??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Qmotion:
I found another source for the root file. I have the Superuser Permission icon. It appears that the file was for the Vibrate and i9000 and not right for the Captivate. I saw that others had the same issue on other forums.

I attempted to install a couple games and I still got the infamous we are protecting your phone and unable to install applications other than Android Market.

Is there some other app I need to install to run third party apps???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skye Menjou:
Quick question, Did you enable Install from non-market sources in the settings?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Qmotion:
Under applications I see three filter options. All, Running, and Third party. Third party was selected. Seems like there should be an option for none.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Qmotion:
Bear with me guys. I'm new to this stuff. At 53 maybe I'm too old to be trying. It looks like there are a couple ways to run 3rd party apps. One is using android SDK and the other a program called Root Explorer. Which is the best and simplest way to go?????

Maybe I should re phrase the question. Which is he safest way to run 3rd party apps. Are all these changes permanent meaning they only have to be done once. Then I'll always be able to run 3rd party stuff all the time?

I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area. Seems like it should be under the Captivate section.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h2o pete:
Had a wi-fi problem on my htc desire for a while now..

One time I went to turn wi-fi on and it just said "Unable to start wi-fi". It had worked totally fine up until that point.

I've tried doing a factory reset, rooted, updated rom but it's still not working.

When the problem happened I had not rooted the phone or changed anything really.. it just happened.

In logcat it says:

Can you post what rom and radio versions you are using?

Usually this happens because the driver cannot be loaded.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strf:
I use :

for radio : 32.43.00.32u_5.09.00.20

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieCharlie24:
Had the same problem. Wi-Fi starts fine, but if switched off, was unable to start again with the "Unable to start Wi-Fi" error.

Tried flashing different stock roms/radios, updating to Froyo, all sorts, in the end, I sent it back to HTC, they repaired it and I had it back within 4 days.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strf:
I just installed

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe and the wifi problem seems to be solved
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atariot:
dunno, if it really helps. but I had the same problem with all custom roms which used to have wifi-n support. at first, I tried anything starting with wiping, reinstalling and using roms without wifi-n. none of it really helped. but then I changed one single setting on my wifi access point and everthing worked fine with ANY rom and ANY kind of wifi-bandwith.

just a guess, but at least you could try setting your wireless-channel from fixed (mine was fixed to 5) to automatic. there should be an option within your wireless-config on your router called "enable auto channel scan" or something like that...

unless your router is not a really old or crappy one, this could be a solution :)

edit: PS. I used tested almost every custom rom out of this forum. ALL roms with wifi-n support had the same issues. even newest radio didnt help much. maybe there is something about wifi-n which causes these issues

[Touch HD General] ntomer:
Hi,

I am based in India, and use a less than one year old Touch HD. I bought it before it was officially launched in India; it is a Orange set, and was pre-unlocked by the vendor when I bought it.

There has been lot of issues with the signals since the very beginning. Calls get disconnected in between, and many times people are unable to call, and I get missed-call alters. And all this while, there are always full signals being displayed in the phone.

Is there anything which I can do about it? The OS Version is CE OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0). Will installing a newer ROM help? And what will happen to phone if I upgrade the ROM? Will it be again locked to Orange?

Please help.

Regards

Nitin
[Touch HD General] dips001:
Have you installed a ROM on it before?

Installing a ROM from xda will not lock it on orange. They are not 'locked' to networks.

Also, have you tried a hard reset on the phone first? It might be you are having problems with the hardware rather than the software.

Try the hard reset first and see how you get on.

[Desire General] PStephan88:
Hey guys,

i have a strange problem with my phone:

When using any Sense ROM (Froyo or Eclair) on my Desire a always get strange SMS like "37528467892" (not exactly that number, bus always only two different numbers) from sender "221" or "211" or something. I cannot say exactly because at the moment I´m using SetROM...

These SMS arrive about 50!!! times every day all over the day, but only in EVERY Sense ROM (tried: neophyte, leedroid, modaco, "official" by OD).

Somewhere in www i found a post saying i should turn off "Broadcast Messages" in phone settings, but it IS turned off. Even if I turn it on and off again these SMS still arrive...

btw: operator is o2 germany

Thx 4 ur hlp!!!
[Desire General] Tenhi:
That happened to me too, but it was a cell broadcast problem. Turning it off worked for me...Strange...

[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
How does it compare to the htc touch hd2/htc desire?

I have read it is slightly slow at taking photos which is not a problem.

How is the quality of the camera/video camera?

When the streak will be updated to Android 2.2, what benefits/improvements are we likely to get?

Thanks in advance...
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
The camera is terrible, unfortunately.

Well, the quality is good, but the shutter speed is ridiculously slow so you get VERY blurry pictures unless you have a stupidly steady hand.

Also you can forget about taking photo's out of a moving car, just a blurry mess.

On the plus side, the video camera is pretty damn good :)

The 2.X update should bring many updates and hopefully Dell will tweak the camera settings. But, if not, as soon as dell releases the Kernel source we'll be able to do it ourselves! :D
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
Many thanks Meltus for your reply!

It's good to hear the videos are good. I wasn't too bothered about the pictures as I have an HD2 which is fantastic for pictures but poor for videos...
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Yup, camera is poor. Phone is great though

I had the same thing sorry to say but it's definatley bricked, got mine fixed tho :D send it back to HTC telling them it ran out of battery when updating to the 2.1 update, they'll send it back with a completley new board so you'll have to root again and next time make sure you dont pull the battery out when updating your radio :D :D :D Hope i helped

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
It's great being able to present on this phone on the big screen. However I have trouble presenting large files (23 MB). The file is made up simply of PNG's for each slide and after about slide 10 the slide doesn't get shown - simply a red cross in a black box in the top-left corner of the screen. It seems as if the app has run out of memory to show the slide, but I still have 56 MB available.

There is nothing wrong with the slide show it plays fine on the PC and also using JetCet Presenter 5 (except this app doesn't display all the transitions, so I don't want to use it if I can get PowerPoint working).

Any help or observations appreciated.

No one else having this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Are you using a custom ROM? What are you using? I wouldn't mind testing it, but I've never had a problem with powerpoint before.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
I am now using Jacko S2 (in sig), but was using standard Orange ROM before. All give me the same problem, so I assume it's something to do with Office Mobile. I don't have problems with smaller PPT files (files made up mostly of small pictures and text).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
I flashed the same Jackos ROM and tried it with a 21MB PP file. That was the largest one I had. I didn't notice anything unusual in the slideshow. It wasn't png images, though. Mine was mostly .jpgs. I'm not sure if those two differences account for anything, but it worked alright for me. Unfortunately, I haven't got an answer for you here. I didn't have the exact same file as you, so this might not help, but I did not have the same problem with a similar file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
thanks for reply. I will try rebuilding the powerpoint with .jpg files - perhaps that will help. Cheers for your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Always happy to help. The only thing I could think of would be that the file is corrupted in some way, but you said it worked fine on the PC. Perhaps the file size is the problem. I doubt that it would be the png files since these are encased in the slide show. I could be wrong, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] littlebigtux:
I've got the same problem on my Rhodium -91Mb RAM free. (not enough memory after 10 slides)

But, this problem is

the same on my HTC Universal with only 40Mb of free RAM only.

Maybe a higher compression rate to set when saving jpg???

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeyg:
Hi everyone

I decided to get into the community and root my phone and try different ROMs. I have an unlocked HTC desire from Telstra in Australia. I used unrevoked 3 and everything seemed to work quite well. Rebooted the device and went to the android market to download and install titanium backup. It began to download. Then i kept getting error messages that android market had stopped responding and it was going to force quit. I let it go, and went back to the app store and tried downloading again. After 20 minutes i went to check and it said it was still downloading. Fearing something was wrong i rebooted. Then it started the welcome screen for Telstra and then kept doing this in an endless loop. i tried going into the bootup screen and go into recovery but when i press on it, it also reboots. Im at a loss as to how this could have completely stuffed my phone. Any ideas on helping me to fix it please?

cheers

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
maybe the best option is to repeat flashing permanent recovery. Double check to see if everything is in place (hboot and htc drivers, sync uninstalled, phone in disk drive mode, etc. )

I would choose Amon Ra recovery, it seems superior comparing to clockwork mod

Is there a program with which you can get TV out via USB cable to AV? I know that there is a cable to buy a Micro USB to AV but will it works with the x10 mini?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] AussieWolfie:
From my understanding on how this sort of thing to work you would need to have drivers of some sort to tell the hardware to output video by the usb. I think it could be done but someone with a lot of programing skill and hardware knowledge can provide more detail if it is possible
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
There's also supposedly dlna support coming in one of the 2.1 updates. So that would at least get video out for dlna capable devices.

Hi all,

I'm looking for an application that can help me solve all kinds of ciphers used in geocaching, does waypoint projections, all the things that might come in handy while caching. There's GCTools, but its still pretty limited...
[Android Apps and Games] minus30:
Yeah,

GCTools is limited, certainly after I found out (the hard and painful way :() that the text Calc doesn't count Capital letters :(
[Android Apps and Games] marty1976:
Did you tell the dev and if so, what was his / her reaction?

And is there an alternative tool?
[Android Apps and Games] LexusBrian400:
Hmm... Have you looked in to C:GEO ?
[Android Apps and Games] marty1976:
Not yet, because I fear I might get banned from GC.com because c:geo violates their TOU. But judging from its website, c:geo will be my first pick when it can load pocket queries or GPX files for offline use. Right now I'm using gehunter, a fork of geobeagle and I quite like it, the integration wich bcaching.com is great...
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
GeOrg has multiple solvers, I think it likely covers what you're looking for, and it's a great geocaching application. http://android.ranitos.de/

It works great in all ways, but a big thing for me, it's very fast parsing GPX. It can also use BCaching for on-the-fly caching (assuming you have PQ's feeding into BCaching, of course..)

It'll be perfect when he gets Bluetooth GPS support in :)
[Android Apps and Games] marty1976:
Possible. But alas, credit cards are really uncommon in Europe and more an exception than the rule. I do not have one myself and until the market accepts paypal as a service I'll be unable to buy applications :mad:
