Correct me if I'm wrong here,but does this remove the standard keyboard

cos I don't want that to happen,there are times I want to use the

original keyboard.

So what's this tutorial..... ??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggs:
Funny, I selected swype from the keyboard selector when I first got my hd2, have done multiple soft resets over the past couple months and it always stays on as default. The menu I'm referring to is; when your keyboard is up, press on the little up arrow in the middle.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j4n87:
No, ure just deactivate it with sk-Tools and make some other tweaks.

..i would suggest to take teh 2nd solution. Much easier

But here the 1st solution (on your own risk..would suggest to make a backup of your phone)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamerunka:
it seems that something more should be done on my htc pure

after following the instructions the default keyboard was set correctly, but the arrow for switching keyboards next to the icon does not work, it seems that there is a hook that is filtering screen taps from the area where the arrow is placed.

even if there is another window over it taps in this area are not processed.

actually what I have discovered is that if yoy tap in that area registry entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip]BioToShowMenu is set to 1 which is how HTC sip changer is activated, of course nothing happens, because HTCSipSrvc is not started.

Another thing that I have noticed is that the registry key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]DefaultIm is restored to

{36BC8FF6-8241-4C36-ABDE-204885471FEE} after soft reset.

So it seems that there is something else that needs to be removed/stopped in order to have it disabled completely

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamerunka:
no,

I have changed the default sip succesfully, that's ok

the problem is that although the default sip is changed, there is a "dead" zone on the screen over the up arrow which is used for SIP switching.

So SIP switching is not accesible and also FingerKeyboard which has an option to overlap the bottom bar has a dead zone on the last row.

UPDATE: It seems that this only works on the 2.2 roms that are de-odexed... It doesn't work on the plain one that first hit. It is confirmed to work in the following roms:

Sky Raider 2.2 You can just use his flash installer app on the SD card

Sky Raider 2.1

Sky Raider 2.0

Sky Raider 1.9b

Desensitize Sky Raider 2.2 by jitajt

Not sure how many of you follow the other areas of the site or not... anyways, the guys over on the nexus one area have been enjoying Hulu on their Froyo roms for a while now. I've only seen a couple HTC Inc folks in the original thread so maybe people just don't know about it...

Big thanks goes out to rcxquake as he's the one that created the modified version of flash.

Original instructions for Nexus one are here

Modified Directions (i'll expand these out after I do it again tomorrow):

1) (this step is not needed on Skyraider 2.2 as the author has already removed the installer file for you, he has also included the correct version of flash on the SD card) remove flash from your install... most likely it is in the /system/app folder, I hadn't run any flash sites yet so I simply renamed the install_flash_player.apk to install_flash_player.apkb Here's a quick set of instructions for you:

1) Connect phone and enable debuging mode.

2) open a command prompt and go into your sdk/tools folder. run "adb reboot recovery"

3) in the cmd prompt type in "adb shell"

4) On the phone once its loaded up recovery in to partitions menu and mount /system

5) in the adb shell type in "cd /system/app"

5) to rename the flash installer type in "mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.apkb"

7) in ADB tell it "exit"

8) on the phone unmount system and data (not sure if this is necessary or not)​

Exit out of recovery and verify you don't have flash installed anymore under settings \ applications \ Manage Applications \ All applications.

2) Download the fixed flash version via rcxquake's thread to your pc and move it to your sd card(direct link to file)

3) Install the downloaded APK file via your favorite file browser (astro for example)

4) If you want to look at the full version of the website, you'll need to enable a special mode in the browser, here's the directions care of the original thread:

1. In the search/address bar of the android browser type "about:debug" without the double quotes.

2. Press Menu

3. Tap More>Settings

4. Go to UAString and change it to desktop.
​

5) If you want to access the site without setting up the debug mode listed above, Adam B was awesome enough to utilize the Hulu widget page to create a premodded app that you can simply click and watch. Here's his original post and here's a direct link to his APK.

SIDE NOTE If you run his Hulu.apk app, your lock screen will not come up after using it... to remedy this you have to kill it with a task killer... I have emailed him to see if this is something that could be remedied.

Anyways, I hope this helps some others get this going...

No sucess yet

Im running Skyrider 2.0.1 and not having luck. I tried hdialchemy's method and the app too, both to no avail :( Ill keep watching / trying and let you know.

weird, did like 8 posts (or more) disappear from this thread?

WTF? I just noticed that all kinds of changes I had made to the original post a few days back are all gone now too... what in the world.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
I'm running my own mod of skyraider 2.0.1 and it works great.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Asterdroid:
Well, I'm able to get it working but the video quality is extremely choppy, even over wifi. Any idea how to fix this?

I'm using the 8/1 leaked OTA by the way.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] deficitism:
Asteroid, how did you get it working on the 8/1 leak? Did you simply remove install_flash_player.apk and install the modded flash player? I attempted to do so, and got the blue plugin icon on flash content.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Asterdroid:
I actually had a flash player installation backed up in Titanium that I had restored. I uninstalled that, just using regular old Uninstaller, and when I checked /system/app in root explorer, I didn't see any evidence of a flash install.

Then installed the modified version from Astro, made the "about:debug" changes mentioned, and we're up and running.

I'm not sure why, but maybe if you install the standard flash beta, uninstall it, then install the modified version that will work?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] deficitism:
Interesting... mind sharing the flash apk you had in your titanium?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] s197:
Delete please.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] philly_phenom:
I'm banging my head against a wall here. I flashed Skyraider 2.2 w/ Sense & then tried to follow the instructions, but I can't find install_flash_player.apk anywhere - it's not in /system/app, or anywhere else.

I tried using find & also rebooted the phone & tried searching in Astro.

Can I skip that step?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jpjj225:
No, thats kinda an important step. Try using installer. Downloaded it from the market, use that then go to the skyraider folder on your sd card. Should be right there. I've gotten this working on skyraider 2.2 as well as cm6 test 8. Both the browser and the hulu app work great.

Just remember, at least in my experience, you MUST uninstall any flash version you already have on there. Otherwise it won't work.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dnoyeb:
Actually up until version 2.2 you had to remove that file... he's now cleaned the file out of 2.2 so that step isn't needed anymore. I'll modify the directions.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] andrewzpsu:
Mine seems to do the video just fine, but the sound is slowed down big time. Any ideas how to fix?

Running Skyraider 2.5.2
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] djkms:
This happens because the audio fix for streaming is built into skyraider 2.52. The only way to fix it (that I know of) is to use skyraider 2.2 without the audio fix built in. :mad::(

Background:

Installed Baked Snack 9.6 onto my phone and the battery started draining like water. I could sit there and watch the battery go down (13 percent in 17 minutes) after unplugging. Uninstalled, then installed 9.7...same thing. I also deleted the battery stats through Clockwork Recovery in this period. Updated radio as well and tried 2 different kernels with the ROM (stock Baked Snack and # 2 for Baked Snack)

Took the ROM off, reset the phone back to 1.32. Same thing happened. Updated to 1.47. Same thing happened. I also deleted the battery stats through Clockwork Recovery.

Took my phone to Best Buy.

Dude there determined the OS got corrupted or something. We tried another battery and the same thing happened. It drained like water.

I took the phone back after he did a factory reset on it. It's still draining like water. I did another factory reset on it through the "Clear Storage" function in the white screen. Nothing changed.

Not sayin' the ROM is to blame, but something definitely went wrong during the install process. Or maybe the phone is truly messed up on the hardware side.

Best Buy offered to send the phone in and get me a new one, but they're out...so this sucks.

Anyone heard of this happening? Is there a fix before I decide to take this in?

One of the guys in the Baked Snack thread said he thought the phone had a hardware issue, as after all the resets and wipes I've done, it would not have affected the battery life.

Any opinions? Ideas? Suggestions? Similar stories?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
Sounds like you should just exchange it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
There are lots of thing you could look at.

- Battery stats under settings > about phone > battery

1) Check what in your phone is using battery

2) Check your uptime vs waketime

- Dial *#*#4636#*#* and check battery usage there

- Download something like OSMonitor and watch the processes running on your phone

- Run an logcat in your phone's shell either thru adb on your computer or an app like connectbot or terminal emulator to see what your phone is constantly doing.

I'm trying to unlock my desire but can't get the IMEI number. I've looked under the battery but there is only an s/n number listed and that doesn't work. I've went into phone info on the device and it only lists the s/n but with 3 digits missing. I've done the *#06# and my phone comes back with "can't connect or invalid number" (ps. I'm currently roaming in Canada and the phone is from Korea on the SK Telecom network.) Any other way of finding this number?

[Epic 4G General] EnderTheThird:
I remember a while back there was an article on Ars Technica (can't link yet, but google "ars Secrets of the Nexus One's screen" and you'll find it) about the Nexus One's AMOLED screen. They talked about how the AMOLED screen technology/layout resulted in text that wasn't as sharp as on the Motorola Droid. I'm curious if this is still a concern with Super AMOLED technology, as with the Epic 4G?

I'm looking to upgrade from my Palm Pre in the next few weeks (hoping the Epic 4G is out by then), but I'm hoping to do some background research before that. I use my phone quite a bit for web browsing now, and would probably increase that usage on a phone with a bigger screen and better browser. I'm also looking forward to being able to use Kindle's software for Android. Bottom line is that I know I'll be reading a LOT of text on my phone. Super AMOLED is supposed to be incredible for pictures and video, but if it's lackluster on text, it's not as useful to me.

If any of you have any thoughts or experiences regarding this issue (if it still is one on Super AMOLED), I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] fldash:
Yes, it's still an issue.
[Epic 4G General] violinbf:
SAMOLED Pentil subpixel layout makes text look jaggad compared to LCD. The reason for this is that the true addressable resolution of SAMOLED displays is not 480x480 but 393x653. This is the one drawback of this display. See my other posts where i compared the LCD of the EVO vs the Galaxy S. Additional problems are screen burn in and poor power consumption for mobile devices. Text on white backround (web browsing, document viewing) consumes 330% more power than LCD. The color saturation, contrast, black level, and viewing angles are stunning though.

[/URL][/IMG]
[Epic 4G General] EnderTheThird:
I checked out your "Galaxy S (Epic, Captivate etc) VS EVO Comparison and thoughts" thread and it was an excellent overview. I'm leaning towards the Evo for the larger screen and better text readability. I'm out of town right now, but when I get back home next week I might try to track down an Evo somewhere. If the Epic comes out within the 30 day trial period, I'll check it out then.

The main things tempting me with the Epic are the nicer CPU & GPU, but I'm pretty sure I'll be happy regardless after being on my sluggish Pre for a year. If only Palm had been bought by someone who could have brought some of WebOS's features to Android (I think I'll miss having cards and gestures). Either way, both look like excellent phones and I'm anxious to get started with Android.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Epic 4G General] Dman10:
If that's the reason that it comes out like that, will the text be fixed when Android Gingerbread comes out? I've heard that gingerbread changes the resolution, but I don't know if that's true.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Visit a T-Mobile or AT&T store and look at the Captivate and/or the Vibrant..the Epic will have the same screen..once you see it you can judge for yourself...the text may not be as sharp but it may be acceptable by your use...so its worth checking..
[Epic 4G General] Drewmungus:
I have a evo and do pretty much nothing but text reading (ebooks and the web). Text is very easy to read and I have not noticed any eye strain yet.

That sucks about super amoled not doing text well.
[Epic 4G General] EnderTheThird:
I tried doing that at a Best Buy yesterday but someone had stolen their demo unit(s). Apparently it's one of the more ghetto Best Buys in Boston. Who knew. I'll be checking it out when I get back home for sure though.
[Epic 4G General] Mistiq:
Hmmmm.... I went to the AT&T store last week, to check out the captivate and I didn't notice any problem in reading the text personally. I haven't made the switch to a smartphone yet so maybe my eyes are too inexperienced to notice something like that, but I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with my future Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] derek4484:
I have the captivate and yes, text on it is not as crisp as on the droid or droid x. But is it an issue, no. On really light colored backgrounds like white or light grey, if you look hard for it, you can see some fuzziness. But on colorful backgrounds you really cant see it. I can tell you, its a beautiful screen. Overall it looks better than the droid x, which has been described as dull or drab. The colors on the S-AMOLED really pop, and the fact that its an OLED means that black backgrounds are really true black (complete absence of light).

In my opinion its the second best display available, second only to the iphone4 display.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Why would you say the retena display is better?
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
The only way the retina display is better is if you're reading text from under 10" away from your face, but then again who the heck reads with a phone up in their face? I read alot of e-books and other sites and I can tell you reading a page from a normal distance there is little to no difference.

As far as video playback and pictures the Samsung blows the retina display out of the water and by leaps and bounds is the #1 screen in the phone market hands down.
[Epic 4G General] systoxity:
i have to agree that retina display looks better in my opinion. I have pretty good eyesight so that may be why. However, it doesn't make a difference in eyestrain or readability.

I own a captivate and read ebooks on a white background regularly. Its honestly not an issue.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I'm more worried about screen-burn in, which is a very big problem for S-Amoled//Amoled screens.

With less than a year's use of my Nexus One, there is a slight amount of screen burn in, which isn't really avoidable.
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Screen burn ins were only a real problem with the early model amoled screens, much like plasma HDTV the screen tech has evolved and it doesn't hurt that the Super Amoled screens are developed by Samsung which are global HDTV innovators.

Besides for screen burn in to become permanent the screen would have to be on for hours on a static image, on a HDTV I can see that happening if you fall asleep maybe but who on earth turns off their phone's screen timeout and let's the screen stay on all day chugging battery life? That just won't happen.

I'm FAR more worried about the phone's future in regard of updates than I am of screen burn in on a mobile device. Not to mention you have a warranty which 100% covers such a thing as screen burn in and if you do happen to burn in a screen it usually happens sooner rather than later.
[Epic 4G General] blakehess11:
I wouldn't be worried about that if I were you. The Galaxy S series is on all four major US carriers and will undoubtedly get a pretty large hacker following, so even if Samsung does stop updating the Galaxy S phones, there will always be cyanogenmod or many other custom ROMS. And if you're posting here, rooting your phone and installing a custom ROM shouldn't be a huge deal.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
It is not possible to have permanent screen burn in..as for temporary one...even LCDs state not to keep the same image on for too long to avoid temp burn-ins...

As for updates...we are not sure how much of a bone Samsung will give, but at the moment, event the Sprint Moment has gotten a Foyo 2.2 by the community.
[Epic 4G General] kgold708:
Is that 330% more power figure accurate for the GS screens, I was under the impression that they are different than all previous devices? I read a lot of text in my personal usage. I wonder if an app could be developed to make all white pixels black and black white? Although white text isn't ideal if it amounted to 350% power savings my eyes/brain could adapt eventually?
[Epic 4G General] christophocles:
I heard that samsung encrypts the hardware drivers so it's not very easy to port new android versions.. Is this not an issue?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well that is for the regular AMOLED screen...the Super AMOLED screen would most likely be around like 260% for that..but you gotta realize that your screen will never be FULLY pure white like that...the next revision of Super AMOLED(for 2011 plans to go RGBW to fix that).

Either way you'd never have so much white on the screen for it to waist that much energy...

It does not make it easy but not impossible...if they release a Galaxy S 2 in the future with Gingerbread or any other phone with it and don't do Gingerbread for Galaxy S..with some effort it would be possible to port it...
[Epic 4G General] Tinyboss:
I've had the Captivate for a couple of days now, and I'm thrilled with the screen. I did see it next to an iPhone 4 in the store a couple of weeks before I bought it, and I think they have very distinct strengths. The i4's resolution is just breathtaking--I've never seen anything like that. And the "jagged" text is the first thing I noticed about the Captivate's screen. Honestly, my choice of Captivate over iPhone 4 was all about Android vs. iOS, and I had some reservations about the display.

What changed my mind is the color reproduction on the Captivate. I'm just not used to seeing such beautiful yellows, reds, and especially oranges on electronic displays. And the black is perfectly, amazingly black (SAMOLED screens emit light individually from each pixel, so black areas emit literally no light). I consider myself to be fairly picky about my gadgets, and I was worried that the jagged text effect of the pentile matrix would bother me, but I really don't notice it much. I will say that if you know that you will definitely spend a lot of time reading very small text, then the iPhone 4 has no equal. But the Captivate is beautiful, and I'm loving mine.
[Epic 4G General] drizek:
Where did you hear that the next gen will be rgbw? Will all the pixels be the same size?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Don't remember where off the top of my head..will have to look for it..but here is info on the PenTile RGBW layout:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile#PenTile_RGBW

(This is how its done on LCDs though..AMOLED may be diffirent...)

If you guys really want to know what it looks like, look at the captivate, Vibrant, or i9000.

it really isn't bad at all. I own a Vibrant so I know.

I dont want to go ahead and mess around with it more since its odd to me that it was working. I've checked my wimax mac and it is correct and I have tried deleting the wimax tree.

FYI Just an update from another forum. It seems to be an issue with Sprint itself. Thank god I was wondering why if it was working and I havn't changed anything why did my 4G die. It seems to be an issue with a provisioning system. Chicago users have been affected by this also. Hopefully everything gets fixxed soon.

Im just glad I can finally stop searching and reading through numerous 4G threads, but in the end all the reading does provide a learning experience. Such as using cat log, dmesg, etc.
