IMHO, the only one Not replaceable is the VVM. (and no, GoogVoice is not a great alternative/just as good, frankly. the number forwarding shell game, redundant emails, txtx, etc, annoying. and simply not as responsive or "easy to use") I hate to say it, but it was this feature that sold me on this phone. of course since I have found other reasons to love it. ;)

everything else can be replaced easy. (in fact, msg me w/ your email, I can send a pack...)

personally not using Froyo just yet, looking forward to a Sense port as well... but I can wait. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] rockypr:
Sorry guys but the topic here is not if you like Sense or Not...

The Topic is....

If it is possible to Port HTC Desire Froyo with Sense that is going to be released this weekend????

It can be ported to Hero?
[Hero CDMA General] kingdazy:
golly, sorry to have totally sent your thread into offtopic there, buddy, but to answer your question I think:

well, it really depends on what phone its being released for... as far as I know, whats coming out is for the EVO, Desire, etc... and as darchstar said in this thread:

and the desire also runs the snapdragon, so... no.
[Hero CDMA General] rockypr:
Ok Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] nfinitefx45:
No porting the desire is not worth while. The legend will be the one I and several other dev's are waiting for this will get ported to the hero.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wr8_utd:
Sorry for all the noob questions but firstly:

What's a "branded" phone exactly?

How do you know your phone is branded?

And then are ALL phones on contract branded? Where can you get unbranded phones on contract?

And I know what unlocking is but what's the major difference between debranding and unlocking.

Thanks

This is all due to the tension about getting Froyo ofcourse :D
[Vibrant General] alexeip:
Let's say I create a birthday even in Google calendar -- yearly recurring event starting on the day person was born with no ending date.

If the person was born more then 50 years ago, Vibrant (android?) will not show this even after the sync.

I suspect this has something to do with the strange limitation that yearly recurring events can occur at most 50 times (that's the option I'm given when creating new such event on Vibrant).

Does anybody else observe this issue?

Is there a way to change 50 to, let's say, 100? I have root.

Is there any alternative calendar app that doesn't have this limitation?
[Vibrant General] ezechiel1917:
I have same problem with Galaxy S. I wish we could find a way to increase 50 years limit. Smells like a nasty bug :/
[Vibrant General] engineer14:
well people with new high end smartphones are not allowed to know or associate with people with age>40. I beleive it was in the terms of agreement when you bought your phone, careful it could void your warranty (they can tell).

just kidding......or am i?
[Vibrant General] alexeip:
I tried both calendar pad and jorte. Neither solves the problem because both rely on existing mechanism of synchronization between phone and Google calendar (they just provide different presentation of the sync'ed data).

I suspect there is really no application out there that does its own calendar sync.

As a workaround I've created recurring annual events starting 2010 in the internal phone's calendar for birthdays > 50 years back. Ugly, but will do for now.

My only hope is that Froyo fixes this. Can someone with Froyo access confirm/deny this?
[Vibrant General] Janis:
Well that releagetes me to singing cheesy Mulan songs about mirrors. Good thing the phone won't last me as many years as it will take me to get to 50. At least they implemented the proper Don't-ask-don't-tell protocol when I bought mine.:p

A tip from the aged: I just put it in the year I learned their birthday, and write in the year they were born in the subject. That much math on the fly isn't that tough. It's the only way I remember when I found out their Bday. Doesn't work for facebook, but the folks I know whose bdays are that long ago don't put the year in, anyway. I've heard others just use, like 20th bday, and then put +20 in the subject instead of the year.

Since Social Security, banks and other organizations use birthdays as identity verifications, you won't find my real one in the cloud. But, yes, I'm >40.
[Vibrant General] nihrens:
Has anyone found a fix for that issue? It still is there in froyo (JPM).
[Vibrant General] ags29:
Install the Nexus One calendar.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
LOL, who the hell knows what will be in 50 years. We may not have phones, Google, be alive, hell, the the end of world.

Google Calendar lets you create a reoccurring event with no end date via web browser.
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
What are your thoughts? what do you prefer. Coming from biteSMS on an iPhone chompSMS looks great, but handcent looks just as good, maybe better. Let me know what you think!
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I've used Handcent as my primary messaging client forever. Great layout for conversations and I like the voice to text feature. It can be flaky when sending picture messages from the gallery. Sometimes you have to reattach the photo. I had this occasional problem on my G1 and haven't run into it on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] rembonjaski:
I used both on my G1 and ended up sticking with Handcent. Chomp was a little buggy for me, and at the time I had to use SMSPopup in conjunction to get the same functionality of Handcent.

I'm not sure, but ChompSMS may have the popup now as well. I haven't tried it on my Vibrant, but Handcent has been working just fine.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Handcent ftw. .. however I been enjoying stock on the galaxy.
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
I used Handcent for the almost 2 years with my G1 and thought it was great but now with the Vibrant I find I like the stock messaging app is quite nice and don't really see a need for it anymore.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
I used to use chompSMS and switched to HandcentSMS when chompSMS clogged it up with ads everywhere. HandcentSMS has ads too but only in options, I believe chompSMS has changed this but ehh.. HandcentSMS seems to work a lot better for me so I decided to keep it. (inb4. AdFree; still takes up space)
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I've always used handcent, but the stock messenger app is nice too.
[Vibrant General] The_Chrome_Coyote:
I use ChompSMS, mostly for the popup window. It looks more polished and takes a lot of design cues from BiteSMS on the iPhone, which I always preferred.

Functionally I havent noticed a performance difference between the two, I just like the design of ChompSMS better
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I agree. I like the stock app - similar gui to Handcent. With the better version of Swype on the Vibrant, I'm not using the voice features as much.
[Vibrant General] WilliamStern:
I use Chomp. I just love the way the widget looks. It also works very well. You can remove the ads by sending the a donation. If you go to the apps/themes section look for show your home screens. I've posted a few pics of how it looks on the Vibrant with no Ada.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GuestK00466:
Hi all.

Does anyone know of an app that can synchronise the "PC Sync" calendar created by HTC Sync on an Android phone to a specific Google calendar?

Secondly does any one know of a reliable calendar reminder app with a snooze function?

I've tried "Calendar Snooze" and following the last update it constantly triggers reminders even when it's been dismissed. It was the first app in over 3 months to cause me to restart my phone(!):mad:

Thanks in advance
[Desire Themes and Apps] Lukehluke:
I don't know if this is what you mean.

http:/www.omgandroid.com/how-to-sync-your-outlook-calendar-and-google-calendar-to-your-android-calendar/
[Desire Themes and Apps] GuestK00466:
Thanks lukehluke...but that's not quite what I was looking for.

I use HTC Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to my phone. My company won't allow a direct sync to my google calendar.

HTC Sync creates a new calendar on my phone that just contains my work entries. This is fine but I wanted to know if there was away to sync those entries from my phone to a Google account online .

Hope that helps clear it up.
[Desire Themes and Apps] thibault1403:
@SpartanGrey => Sorry for my bad english but for your sync problem, try Google Calendar Sync. It works fine for me in my Company.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GuestK00466:
Calendar Sync is too limited for me.

Thanks Thibault1403...but I can't use Calendar Sync.

2 reasons;

1. My company prohibits sync'ing direct to an online account.

2. Calendar Sync will only sync with the main calendar and I wanted to sync work items to a specific "sub-Calendar" in my main account.

Thanks for the advice though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanford78:
I wish I didn't have to come to this, but I have exhausted every other resource. I need help rooting my EVO. I had to use the new hack that uses a flash web app to root the phone. This was apparently successful, and in the terminal I have super user access. I even booted into fast boot and check the version to make sure I was rooted.

So my phone is rooted, and also cannot connect to 4G which I have not trouble shot yet, but I have heard that is common and there is a fix.

I installed ROM Manager, and it told me I should flash clockworkmod for a recovery drive. I click to install and then it tells me: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" I then clicked on "Fix Permissions" which then throws the same error as before. I am completely lost, and not sure what to do as of now.

If anyone could help that would be much appreciated. I can give you more details as to whats going on if you PM me,

or skype me: sanford787

Thanks in advance if anyone can help,

-Sanford
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanford78:
I really have to bump this....

Any chance anyone can offer some help? or possibly direct me to a place that could help?
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
Is there a way to choose custom folders in Sense Gallery or Android stock Gallery or Photos (Android 2.1) instead of having it show ALL the photos and videos?

I have an archive folder which has thousands of pictures and I don't want it showing up every time because it takes a while to load.

Or is there an apk that'll do this?
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
+1 I'm not a fan of this either... You can hide certain ones if you press menu but nothing specific.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
Can't believe some of the brainiacs over here haven't figured this out yet..
[Droid Incredible General] k_flan:
create a ".nomedia" file in the folder

http://androinica.com/2009/08/28/ho...iles-from-appearing-in-android-media-players/

It's been discussed here before too :)
[Droid Incredible General] Θmega:
Gallery Enabler should do the trick. I haven't tried it on 2.2 yet but it works great on 2.1.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.snowbee.android.galleryEnabler

Gallery Enabler does the .nomedia trick, only from your phone so you can enable/disable folders whenever you like.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I know about the .foldername trick.. I don't like it though because a file or folder with . (period) in the beginning will not show up on my mac of pc either.. (on PC I could say view hidden files.. which again, I don't like..on Mac I'd have to install Houdini or something)..

Also It's a hassle when I WANT it to show.. in which case I'd have to rename the folder. I'd rather using a normal file name and not have it show
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
Awesome.. that worked. Thanks a bunch.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pao9195:

AFAIK, x10 mini has no GPU thats why its hard for this device to play 3D interactive games :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raiderkilo:
In present time My only camera is Mini,for photos I prefer My old Canon.I don't have interest on video's

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pao9195:
i think hawx is not compatible to QVGA resolution :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] liangse:
yes, it works, i'm using x10 mini pro

i've tried it with FF7

but the sound not so good and lag sometimes

i guess it have something to do with the android version and the psx rom, but also the x10 mini pro hardware too. Because there's no graphic acceleration on it (CMIIW).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ToTTenTranz:
The X10 Mini/Pro has a Qualcomm MSM7227, the same SOC as the HTC Legend.

The MSM7227 has an integrated OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU Adreno 200 (former AMD Z430), the same GPU we find in today's 1GHz Snapdragons (Nexus One, HTC Desire, X10, etc).

Since the X10 Mini has to handle a 1/5th of the pixels we see in 800*480 phones, it has actually one of the highest GPU power per screen size. It even surpasses the Galaxy S in the HD GPU Skinning test.

So

1 - It has a GPU

2 - It is powerfull enough for the highest end there is for Andoid.

If it is that way why we aren't able to play games that require GPU e.g. 3d heavy gunner???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yuretz:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ribben:
I hope for the best but look at this, even if it has a gpu and a powerful one when the games are hd they don't support our screen resolution so another problem which cause not to be able to play such games!!! am i right????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yuretz:
Android 2.1 can downscale native application resolution
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sto0ka:
Umm NFS Shift is running good on my x10 mini pro
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ToTTenTranz:
I confirm that my X10 Mini is running HAWX, the X10 version.

Unlike other Gameloft games I tried (namely Asphalt 5), the X10 version of HAWX actually scales everything into the 320*240 screen, and the game is perfectly playable.

My only problem is that the phone came with a slow (class-less) micro-sd and the game slows down when it's loading the ground textures from it. When it's not loading new textures (i.e. flying downwards), the game is actually very fast.

I'm getting a class 6 micro-sd and then I'll post a video on youtube.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] juan64bits:

I've got a video review of NFS Shift on my SE X10 Mini, and I've also made many original Screenshots of this game on my device.

But I cannot post any links here.

It's a pity because I'm a tester and gaming journalist for iOS/Android devices and I've got many interesting things to show.

Especially for X10 Mini, because it is my main and favorite device.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Hello, just confirmed... NFS Shift is working on x10 mini pro. The technique is to install the APK then copy data files to sd card manuallly...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] silviantrius:
That's right.

X10 Mini has an OpenGL 2.0 ES Support because of the powerful MSM7277 Processor.

It runs with Donut 1.6 now, that's why only OpenGL 1.1 is supported. But even with OpenGL 1.1 it is an incredible fast device. I've tested it with a Neocore 3D Benchmark Software and it's result was 44.8 FPS.

Besides that, X10 Mini has no problem to run Raging Thunder 2 with the same effects like iPhone 3GS/iPhone 4 (Motion Blur, dynamic lights) with OpenGL 1.1 support. It can also run a HD NFS Shift version without any lags or slowdowns. Besides that, it can run Quake 3 Arena HD version with 23 FPS ant medium settings.

We'll get Quake 3 Arena with 320x240 resolution soon, and that means that we will have about 50 FPS.

As I already said before - I could show you many interesting videos and screenshots fro my X10 mini, but I cannot post any links here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
i can't even install the bloody thing. not enough memory. looks like we'll have to wait for custom roms with swapping access and apps2sd.

as i keep saying, these phones have potential if developers ever hack the bootloader. for example, the mini/pro purportedly has the hardware to support not only 16m colour but also multitouch.
