re

Titanium Backup will help with this. back up all your user apps and the green system data(ignore sms/mms/apn system data though). you can then restore on any of your settings.

This question probably belongs in the Eris General forum though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
This question belongs in general, but usually widgets have Issues initially after a restore, if this is consistent every boot then you may need to reflash the rom or restore a configuration file of your launcher.

Pm if you need help

I have an MDA AMEO pda on t-mobile,in fact its make is HTC.When I select 'internet explorer' and go to a web site-9 times out of10 it shows a box with ' installation failure error code 0x8007054f '.So now I can't do anything except log off and try again,most of the time its not going to work ! On my pda I use windows mobile 6.Anyone out there able to help ?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iflip:
Much appreciated. i get avereage of 2 bars on my signal strength. i can barely download anything over 1mb from web or market. im running on the plainjane t2 rom. doesnt this mean i need a radio update?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potatocannon4:
would be much appreciated! My phone wont get the update ota and I can't download it!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Sorry guys :/ I looked for 30 minutes everywhere, google seems to have taken down the link, I cant find it anywhere; maybe itll surface in a few days. If you want a stock-ish 2.1 rom look at PlainJane or Ivans_Official ROM in Android Development for the Eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Also iflip go find a good rom that has more features :) i recommend evil eris or any CM6 roms
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
I'm also looking for this link. No one has downloaded this file, and can upload it?

I am trying to make an ODEX'd ROM with the July OTA. I'm sick of De-Odex'd ROMs. I have no space in /data. It stinks.

Either way, I can't find the De-Odex'd version of the July OTA (original .zip) to incorporate all the new .apk's and so on.

Google is yielding 0 useful results.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
i accidentally formatted my storage drive yesterday and lost all of my roms/patches/updates i had been storing, but i have everything until about kaos froyo v3 backed up. But un fortunately for you the MR4 came out after that =( so if you get a valid link let me know please thanks =)

The Desire is coming to Telus mobility (Canada)

http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_desire/index.shtml

I've heard rumours of the release date being August 8th
[Desire General] zagevent:
canada still have not the desire? poor guys
[Desire General] aindow:
Be the time the Desire gets to some places it will be getting replaced in others! Still, at least you're getting it :-)
[Desire General] Andrewwelton:
Yeah Canadian carriers are brutal for getting phones.... We just got the Legend and the Droid (milestone) and now we get the Desire.

Never even saw the HD2 :(

At least I can hope the Desire isn't locked down here!
[Desire General] PhaseJump:
I just wish Telus would release the details on it already.

The rumors are that it'll be priced pretty low, and I'm getting excited about picking it up.

I missed my chance buying from the Nexus One online store, and just found out about this coming soon.

Hopefully the hardware won't be branded, & it will be easy to unlock. It'll be my first Android phone. :D
[Desire General] Andrewwelton:
I hope it isnt branded either....

I've heard itll be 79.99 on a 3 year

You can get an unlocked Desire 8183 from several places and run on Rogers network. I did a couple months ago and works great! Just input APN settings for Rogers and you are good to go.

Dunno why but recently every time I use the stock Opera 9 the device is slooooooooowing down, it freezes, then start working again but it takes ages for the esiest opeation, etc.

Only thing i did was to move cache on sd.

This does not happen with IE and Skyfire.

Any idea?
[HD2 General] zzyzx80:
on my old touch HD, i prefered opera. now on my HD2, i very much prefer PIE. i believe there is no better solution than to switch broswer.
[HD2 General] troed:
That´s simple to answer:

once the opera9-cache is full it takes 1-2 minutes until it is cleared when opera9-cache is in main mem, when opera9-cache was moved to SD-card it´ll sumtimes take 3 minutes (cache set to 10MB). During that period the HD2 lags and if You touch too many buttons freezes.

I use Opera10 installed on storage card and quicklinked to my CHT-first page and use Opera9 only when Sense-apps call for it with a cache on SD-card set to 1 MB (laggy period then takes 1 minute)
[HD2 General] thegios:
hay thanks :-) I have cleared the opera cache on the sd card and it's working fatser noe :-)
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
1. Leaving a phone in 3G all the time is not a good idea, if you have WiFi near you you can connect to I'd use WiFi instead, it has less battery drain then the antenna that is constantly searching for 3G signal - unless you are in the area with bulletproof 3G coverage of course.

2. It seems like this bug is common 100% jumps to 98% once you unplug the charger, are there really any accurate battery meters on the market?

3. Can't help you there, not playing the game on my phone.

HTH
[Vibrant General] alecjake:
alright thanks. im in phoenix here so i am almost always in a 3G area. I guess i'll leave it on since i rarely dont have 3G
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
I also read on multiple forums including HoFo that 3G generally consumes more energy then WiFi.

sims 3 fix

so my girlfriend was complaining about sims crashing when she watched tv or relaxed on the couch. i fixed this by moving both the sims launcher app and the sims game app to data/app.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I normally use Edge simply because I don't need Wifi or 3G on unless I'm doing some heavy data transferring.

Currently I'm at 61% battery, which means my phone has been off the charger for 16hours. Its not a fluke either because its just normal use for me. I normally take my phone off the charger at 6am and I plug it back in around 11pm.

Prolonged GPS, Wifi and 3G will eat your battery. I'm not saying don't use the services, but you give up one for the other. I personally like to have awesome battery usage until I'm out and about and really need to use my phone.
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
I'd recommend you call T-Mobile customer service and have them diagnose the problems you are having and issue a replacement if necessary.

Based on my experience, battery life is excellent, probably the best I've seen in any smartphone in this category. Battery usually last easily through the day with heavy use, including:

- having 3G on all the time (and frequently switching to edge and back)

- 2 email accounts using push (gmail and exchange)

- gps on all the time

- google latitude running all the time

- facebook and twitter sync'ing every hour

- fancy widget sync'ing every two hours

- Newsroom harvesting 12 news sites in the background

- occasional picture (3 or 4) a day

- web browsing and searching

- xda app for reading and replying to this forum.

- bluetooth is always on

- wifi is on from 8 pm on.

I charge the phone through the night, unplug it at 8 am, return home at 8 pm and put it to charge around 11 pm, with still 50%. Brightness is set to auto. Phone is not rooted or modified in any way.

You bought a high end phone that should perform as such. You are supposed to get the most out of your phone, not turn off its features. I wouldn't listen to those who claim you should turn off everything and dim the screen. What's next, not using the phone to preserve batteries?

That's just my two cents.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
I know some devs are jumping ship to other phones. Do we have some devs left to work on our phone? If not I'm thinking about buying another phone in the next few months.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriv:
There is not a whole lot of devs left all got the nexus or vibrant

Sent from my super cool rooted slide that all iphone users envy
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
That's the impression I got from Twitter. Sad this is a cool phone I like it but looks like I'll look toward the g1 blaze in November.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I just got this like the other day and it seems to be lacking in support, when I heard about this phone I was excited to get it...But now it seems like it doesn't have that much development, with other phones coming out. The only this is the smaller screen and weaker cpu/gpu compared to newer phones...This thing comes w/ 512MB Ram/Rom if im not mistaken, just like N1. If this is Oc'able it might go to at least 7xxx. Dumfuq is notorious for his G1 OC kernels, lets see what he can do for the MTS now...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
I think I will stick around a bit longer. When the phone first cane out it had devs on it that loved it. I think we still have some working on it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I really like the phone's design, it sticks out from the other phones I had. it might not be the best thing in the market but it's defiantly a major improvement from my G1. Even on stock this feels a lot faster than when I had it oc'd to 614MHz.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
I agree totally. This is a wonderful improvement over the G1. Handles things better too. When I got a text when I was watching YouTube on the g1 I would have a blank screen for like 30secs cause I had SMS popup then I could reply but the video wouldn't play I would have to start over. Not with this little power house those issues are gone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
Im working on some stuff for the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
I'm afraid some peiole are getting different phones. Seems like the slide is hard to develop for. Cyanogen is having issues too. I wonder if HTC is having trouble with froyo.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
Check the dev section. Im trying to pull together a dev team to port a modded froyo to phones that havent had a mention of froyo, and the dinc, desire, and evo. If there is one dev left, the slide is saved, if not, i gotta pick up official support for the slide.

More info on the rom can be found on www.incredibleroms.com/jdkoreclipse. Dont download from the link there, as it is the driod incredible version.

I will not let this phone go without devs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jriv:
I appreciate what your doing maybe we can pull people together and get this phone rolling

Sent from my super cool rooted slide
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
Imma try. Im on xda alot, so i have lots of time to get this going. If worst comes to worst, i will maintain the port. So, you are getting a de sensed froyo woth some cool mods. Its not vanilla, and not sense. I really like the slide, and will dev for it. I already dropped official support for the evo, but may need to pick that one up too.

No phone should be without devs
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
Thanks a lot for what you are doing. We appreciate it a lot. I would like a good froyo de-sensed rom. Sense is cool but stock android is faster. And I miss my wysie contacts. Thanks again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
Friggin delays on jdfroyo. We are still worrking on it.

No phone left behind
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sino8r:
I think we have a few here. I mean Wes and Eugene are here but may have gotten the vibrant and there are a few other new guys here and there. But they have said they will still work on the slide. I think whats holding alot of folks back is the lack of ota to use and port plus this baby is locked pretty tight still even after root but that won't stop anybody. I mean we don't even have a custom kernel or hard spl and it will take much longer because of the security. And, yes, cyanogen is working on his froyo port still and is having road blocks which is holding up future stable additions. It's a great phone still and am happy with slidemr1 v4 rom with a2sd and perflock off and set at a constant 600mhz. JIT would be nice like in froyo, would help a bit but stability and lack of 100% fuction in a2sd ports makes it hard to use froyo daily (and due to fact I'm an app horder). But yeah, the HTC blaze/emerald (the one with the qwerty kb) l will be tempted if things are still this slow by the time late autumn/early winter rolls around.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
That's exactly what I am thinking. It is locked up pretty tight and hopefully our ota update to froyo will be a game changer for it and we can move forward.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
I can say, that lack of leaks and ota is holding us devs back. If there was a leak froyo, i would be able to build jdfroyo with no problem. Hopefully i will be able to port something i will make for the gsm hero.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
Not froyo. It was a radio uograde mainly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sino8r:
There is some update in this section being talked about but from what I can gather its stuff that has been fixed or only applys to espresso rom. In other words not froyo... but it did state and interesting addition that will be useful to all roms: the ability to use mms/sms over wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] ritalin:
I wanted to share a little trick I figured out today for creating a shared picasa photo album in your android gallery.

Many of you may already know that you can view your albums saved in Picasa Web Albums in the Android Gallery app. I believe this was added in 2.0 or 2.1.

My friend and I wanted to try having a spot where we both can upload wallpapers we find and have it show in the Gallery in Android. Picasa does have the ability to share your albums with friends and even gives them the ability to edit, add and remove. The problem is that this new feature in Picasa does not seem to have made its way into the Gallery App in Android.

I tried a couple apps in the market and they DO allow you to view your favorite albums in Picasa, but they have some drawbacks. Namely they auto resize the images (poorly) and they download the images to your phone. The downloading defeats the purpose of this as we wanted something "cloud" based.

I thought about using my secondary google account that I have registered in the phone. No go, as there is no option to sync Picasa as my primary does.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK!

It turns out that Google account and Gmail based Google accounts ARE different.

1- create new Gmail account. (REMEMBER GOOGLE ACCOUNTS DO NOT WORK)

2- Sign into picasa with your new Gmail account

3- Add some photos to it.

4- on your android phone go to settings>accounts and sync> add account.

5- choose Google and add your new gmail account.

6- make sure that Picasa is the only radio box checked to sync.

Thats it your done. Go check your Gallery apps and you should see your new Picasa album. Go ahead and give this account to a friend that you want to share wallpaper with and enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] desihu:
hi was trying to achieve the above but cudn't. Does this still stand true as of now... I am on 2.2.2. Wanted to simply upload my camera photos to another picasa album which is shared with me with upload rights.
[HD2 General] therealkanafo:
Okay first off if this is in an incorrect forum or if it has been answered in another thread can I please be directed to it.

My issue is that almost every 10 mins or so my Sense UI crashes and comes up with a "launching htc sense" message.

I have had it happen on the offical TMOUS roms as well as a number of customer roms (Energy, HD2.0 Un-off, HD Core Cell, etc)

Has anyone else experienced this or figured out a way to fix it?

Thank you in advanced.

BTW the sites search engine hates me, i have tried every combo of searches and have yet to find a thread releated to my issue.
[HD2 General] shamusl:
HTC Sense is very unstable, for me it seems more frustrating though. When Sense stops responding I have to pull the battery as it always fails at restarting.
[HD2 General] therealkanafo:
I knew it was unstable and was hoping that there was fix for that issue. Thank you for the response.
[HD2 General] cu2cool:
I have had occaisonal freezes, but nothing like what you've described. Try Omega's ROMs (in my sig). It's been very stable for me. If it stilll doesn't work, maybe the problem lies in your SIM, SD card, or other hardware.
[HD2 General] htc fan89:
I'm using Energy's Dinik rom and I'm having no troubles. When your coming from an different rom you should hard reset then use it.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Muo:
I am in desperate need of a good efficient Microsoft compatible office program on my Streak. QuickOffice came preinstalled, but I cannot seem to upgrade to the full version (so it only reads pdfs). Also when I press the buy now button on their website, it pulls up marketplace and says it was not found. I have a support ticket open on their site, but so far no useful responses.

Is anyone else having this problem? Or can anyone recommend a program for reading word and excel (and maybe powerpoint)?

Another bizarre thing is that a developer (who I sent a message to saying the Streak does not display their app right) came back saying "due

to it's irregular screen size the graphics for the game don't quite fit". 800x480 is not irregular. Maybe the screen does have a higher resolution which is being scaled down like fards mentioned.

Company in Question: http://www.quickoffice.com/

.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
Have you looked at documents to go?

Also I think the screen size is down to the dpi, they are using 160 dpi on the streak, don't think that's too common.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Well i had a good look around the tinternet for you and have to say there is not much out there office wise for the android

Like fards said documents to go is one but it says will not support office 2010 so from what i can see the one we have Quick office seems to be the best

Now i went to the marketplace found the quick office clicked buy now and it took me to the google checkout did you get that far ? :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Guest69:
I reckon Quick Office, without copy & paste, is pretty redundant, that's a big & basic hole for a document editor, if it was the only option then I guess it'd still buy it and pray for an update!

Hi Fards, I'm about to purchase documents to go, I didn't know it existed for Android. I need it for creating and editing word and excel documents and then emailing them, do you use it, and are you happy with it for those basic tasks?

Regards,

Matt
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Muo:
Thanks for the feedback. It just seems like QuickOffice is the best solution currently out.

For the time being I may go with Documents To Go, thanks for the suggestion fards

@lufc

I cannot find it in the marketplace. Likewise, when I use my barcode reader from their website it says the app cannot be found. The same happens when I press the buy now button on the web page from my Android phone.

My Dell Streak is running Android 1.6 build 3562

Still no response from QuickOffice support.

.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Muo is it quickoffice that you cannot find,maybe because you are in the us and have a different build to me,

If you still want docs to go PM me and i will show you where to go if you know what i mean :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] rebski:
I have a need for spreadsheet on the Streak and I compared the lite trial versions of both Documents To Go and QuickOffice. I decided that Documents To Go was much better.

Now that I have it I am blown away by its pdf capabilities whereby it word wraps the text so goodbye to terminable side to side scrolling. Amazing.

Having registered my intention to try it out, DataViz offered me the suite for $9.99 which is cheap enough so that I don’t need to compromise my ethics over it. You could say at that price it is a steal anyway - pun intended.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] samstables:
I use the paid for version of Docs to go and it really is good. I have used the word to go to amend work docs on the move and this week discovered the powerpoint viewer was very useful in outline mode as I could access all the notes straight from that view, which was helpful in my meeting as it also means less scrolling
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
Tbh I haven't used docs to go since my palm days many many years ago, but I was looking at it just before you posted The question.

I can't stand pirated software, especially when he developers work so hard and charge so little for their android stuff.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Muo:
Although I am a software conterfitting whore for Windows, I do indeed support Android and their developers apps. Plus at such a minimal cost, it is entirely worth it.

Bad news though, I downloaded the Documents to Go shown in my markerplace and when I opened it to press 'buy key' it brings me to the search result for Documents to Go, but does not show the full version :(

Looks like a may be installing an illegal version after all... Or maybe after I root my phone to a newer build it will be resolved.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] rebski:
I bought it direct from the website using my full win7 computer. This was in response to an email from DataViz as follows:-

"Thank you for registering our Documents To Go 2.0 "Viewer" for your Android-based device. The free Viewer version allows you to view Microsoft Word and Excel files and attachments on your device.

We are excited to offer you a special price, direct from DataViz only, on our Documents To Go Full version upgrade. "

That mail contained a link and I followed my nose from there.

Maybe best to wait for DataViz to respond to your registration after you download and install the Viewer only version?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Muo:
QuickOffice updated my support ticket saying they updated the installer and to look again.

Now fully functional, purchased the app with no problems ;)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
I got an offer email through today as well do bought it, much prefer the pdf reader to the adobe one. worth the 9.99 usd for that, the amount of emails I get with pdfs in..
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Fazziebear:
I used quick office and docs to go on the iphone, docs to go was better. However all the features are not on the android version and I have found the quick office version better and functionality rich (although far from perfect). The main features that made it better was the google docs integration
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Pirates Revenge:
I use the purchased ver. of Doc.'s to go on my EVO and just purchased it again for my Streak. I use the PDF viewer a lot. One of the things you can do with the pdf viewer is go to a restaurant's web site, download their nutrition info.. Then next time you wonder how may fat calories the super sized Whopper has, you will have it at your finger tips. You can also make color coded pdf/excell doc's on a pc then email them to your streak. Open them with doc's to go and you are all set.
