I'm trying to use PDANet and when I go to plug in my Android G1 it installs as an HTC Dream instead of it being recognized as a android phone. My phone installs as an mass storage but the device driver won't install for the android phone. PLEASE HELP!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
It probably shows up as an HTC DREAM because...., hmm, let me think...

PROBABLY because THATS WHAT IT IS!!!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decimae:
It is indeed a HTC dream; T-mobile just rebranded it T-mobile G1.

I downloaded the drivers via the Android SDK(google it; can't post links).

If you unpack it, you can choose to download drivers when running SDKsetup.exe (and a lot more which you won't need unless you're experimenting/developing). These drivers will be in the folder "unpack folder\drivers" in which "unpack folder" the folder is where sdksetup.exe is. Select this folder as a source for drivers and windows will install the drivers.

You don't need to use PDANET to use it though; android has a normal feature for that.

i set up my phone (evil eris) with email #1. After the phone was running i added email #2 so i could recieve email from both accounts (both gmail). When i click on a link in browser and select "share page" and then select "gmail" it sends from email 2 instead of the email i set the phone up with. This is also true if i select the email link in craigslist. it automatically opens gmail #2. Is there a way to get it to automatically send from gmail #1?

Unfortunately, I have the same problem with my Samsung Captivate on ATT and have yet to find a solution.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
When it composes the Gmail, just change who it's sending from.

It does this for me too, if I open Gmail, then I hit Accounts > (pick the account).

Whichever account I picked MOST RECENTLY will be the one that it sends from.

If you can't change it while it composes, just copy the contents of the composition (long-press, copy all), open Gmail, and re-make your email.

I just did a factory reset...mainly because I'm over the original excitement and wanted to get rid of any apps I don't really need...

Now when I turn on my gps it keeps showing in my notification bar that it's searching....I'm using the system app and I don't see any apps active that would be using it...it's really bothering me and I was just wondering why it might be searching??
[Vibrant General] metaltyphoon:
I kind of noticed that also. I figured somehow if we kill all running app and I would receive a txt message some how att navigator would open itself. If my gps was on it would start searching.... Maybe you have the same o problem?
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
I noticed that as well, and I have no idea what was using it.
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
Did you turn "use wireless networks" back on in your location settings? I've found that if I don't, the GPS will keep trying to get a lock for any program that uses your location (weather widgets, etc) and won't be able to. So it will keep running and drain the battery really fast.
[General Questions and Answers] zenman223:
ok so this is another help me decide post sorry but i really would like some advice from some knowledgable people. heres my situation, i currently have an iphone4 which i just bought and will be taking back(or selling) though i do like it but it is very slow on 2g slower than my kaiser 8925(tilt), i dont get 3g where i live. i am very interested in the intl version of the galaxy s, i was thinking of selling the iphone and buying the intl. galaxy s with the forward camera, led flash and flash support. BUT ive read some cons about the galaxy including the gps being crap. i know 2.2 is coming soon hopefully it will fix it.

also to complicate my situation a little more my contract is up sept. now if i keep or sell the iphone i will have a new 2 yr contract. i would love to be out of my contract so i have been thinking of buying a tmobile hd2 for my att, since i dont get 3g it doesnt really matter that it wont work on 3g plus i seen there was a way to change something in the network settings to make the hd2 much faster on 2g, dont know if that works or not.

i geuss what i want to know is how is the hd2? i havent done much research on it, just read you can run android on it, that sounds nice. how well does that work? does it fix the freezing problems that i read were so common in the beginning? how is the gps? thats very important to me! lastly what do you guys think? keep new contract and get galaxy s or be free from contract and get an hd2 for less money and wait till they fix the iphone or samsung fixes galaxy s? sorry so long, thanks guys.

@both: WM could be a bit slow but now I´m using Android Froyo on my Leo!

Can you do that on a galaxy?

Also HTC is much better design and quality:cool:
[General Questions and Answers] rogeriopcf:
I think if you will pay less and without a contract, then the HD2 is your choice.

Just go the HD2 section here in the forum, and you'll see lots a lots of new rom to chose from.

With this handset you will have the best of both worlds (WM and AD). Remember that Windows Mobile is still a BIG player in the mobile world. There are tons of applications, not mentioned that you have a lot GPS applications to choose from.

For me WMobile it's a world that I can't live without yet, and HD2 has it all!

Apple's Ipad and Iphone

These two products are under heavy fire as you probably know.

And that is for a perfectly good reason. They do not work properly.

So my question is: how does Apple pull it off every time, with limited commercials. Just a letter from Jeve Stobs once in a while and some 'magical' lectures about how good these products should be.

They still sell millions of these things!

Why for @$%*sake would you buy anything like this? WHY!?

It just doesn't work and people still buy it!!! WHY!?

WTF!?

Right that had to come out. If you're offended, i'm sorry. If I started a nice thread, i'm happy.

I HATE APPLE. <----lets get my view out right now. I hate that they are closed unlike Android that is open source. They are like communist. I hate them for athousand reasons. Those are my views. Dont get offended.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I must say that Apple devices such as the iPhone are very stable for the average user. Their customers know that.

The reason why they sell so easily.

The iPhone was the first phone to feature many features that we now consider standard on smart phones today. Well atleast they were the first major company.

Apple then released the Itouch. This destroyed their last product the Ipod which virtually replaced CD players. They were dominate in MP3 devices and very well known with their computers. They still are the leader in MP3 devices.

So in short, their past inventions created their very large fan base they have today. All it takes is a few people telling their friends how much they love their Apple. Then before you know it...the world becomes an Apple.

But when it comes to the advance user/developer. We know that Android is where it is at. I have nothing against windows either.

(the iPad is a piece of crap though)

What do you define as better? Hardware, OS, performance, etc? I for one do not like Apple products. But I am not ashamed to say that it is a great device. Very stable, fast, user friendly. I do agree about the price part though.

And are you on SDX? I remember seeing your picture from the office and it says your a moment user.
[Off-topic] phatmanxxl:
I had other mp3 players that I was perfectly happy with before the ipod went with color screens, I had a RCA kinda wanna be b&w ipod that did the job, then a creative brand one (I dont remember what it was called but it was about $150 and badass) that i stored pics, vids and music on, then I got a sidekick3, and then on i always used my phones for browsing and media. I always felt that the ipods back in the day (and still are) were over-hyped and over price, it was more of a status thing, like Reebok Pumps were in the early 90's, over priced shoes with a gimmick inflatable tongue but I had to have them to sport them in school.

Yea I get my ROMs, kernals and recov's from SDX and chat it up at Samsungmomentforum also. Im waiting to see what the epic has to offer till i upgrade to a 1gz phone. Im still torn between the evo and epic, plus both are not in stock anywhere anyways.
[Off-topic] yes_senpai:
Yeah, Apple is defiantly over hyped and over priced. When it comes to the Evo and Epic it narrows down to brand and keyboard preference. I prefer a hardware keyboard, but can live without. After owning a moment, and having data lockups and a 800mhz that is just slightly faster then the heros 500 and something mhz I dont know if I want another Samsung product. I mean they even make it hard to develop on. I coulda made a sense ROM for almost any HTC device way before I woulda figured out how to even port it to a Samsung. By the way I am Xconstaud from SDX haha. I uselly dont see many SDX users here.
[Off-topic] hungry81:
If it was a great device, I would like it. But its not so it isnt. Many other devices are fast and user friendly, and despite the marketing apple devices are not flawless. Stop spouting Jobses marketing crap.

Apples strategy after being bailed out by microsoft was release a 2nd rate basic mp3 player called the ipod and stick their logo on it with some restrictive "easy to use" software called itunes that was still 10 times more complicated than click and draging files. they then told everyone it was pretty and good with an expensive marketing campaign until they bought it. People believed the hype and apple relesed successive generations, more restrictive and invasive software and even bigger advertising campaigns.

They then proceeded to do exactly the same thing for the iphone.
[Off-topic] LordVarkson:
I have an iPod Classic that I like, mostly the batterylife and the fact that it syncs effortlessly with iTunes (I run a hackintosh instalation). Except the sound quality is horrible if you use high end headphones.

I have a jailbroke iPhone 2g, I didn't mind it but I hated the fact I couldn't get mms and the lack of app intergration into iOS. It still sits next to my computer, along with my N81 for no reason at all, except maybe if a new amazing app comes out that I would like a try of.

I don't hate apple, I just don't like all their products.

Apple delivers one,

a single one

, device (ipod, ipod touch, iphone, etc) a year while the others have to that by the dozen, just to keep up the sales. That's incredible and that's a fact. Period.

Apple makes the hardware and does the software altogether.

So, how couldn't it be a stable platform? Of course it has to be!

Apple rules the marketing and it knows how to sell it's products.

They did not invent the mp3, they did not invent the touch phones, but they know how to grab an idea and make it big.

Apples popular because they were the underdog fighting against the evil empire of Microsoft. Even though thats over and APPL is now bigger then

Microsoft they have managed to keep their for the little guy image and people aren't figuriing out APPL is a huge corporation with business practices MS never even had the balls to try. Yes they make a nice stable phone, but as was said before is Microsoft or HTC only had to make software for 1 peice of hardware a year you can only imagine how stable it would be. APPL makes software for a a couple of their own tech devices. While MS and Droid now make OS's for thousands of phones. Realize if it weren't for MS or HTC we would all be paying $4000 for iphones.

I take that last sentence back, APPL never gets into a business as the leader or inventor, they let someone else market and develop the product then they swoop in a couple years later and slap a fruit sticker on it.

Remember on the 1st iphone when they invented 2G. Then on the 2nd iphone when they invented the camera on a phone, the on the 3G when they invented 3G. Or on the 3GS when they invented the app. Then in the 4G when they invented the Antenna and wifi video chat. LOL
[Off-topic] androidlicious:
Well, I might be the only one, but I do like Apple's stuff. And I'll explain why. I own a Macbook Pro and an iPod.

I think Apple has amazing hardware in terms of design. When I first brought my Macbook Pro home, I was incredibly impressed by the unibody aluminum construction of the laptop. It felt like I had spent my money on something that would definitely last. I don't know of any other laptop (or desktop) that has as good as a construction or design as Apple's.

Although I have never owned an iPhone, the same could be said about the new iPhone 4 and iPad. I think a lot of people have biased opinions solely because of the Apple brand. If the new iPhone or iPad had Android (or whatever else) on it and if it did not have an Apple logo on the back, I think everyone would be boasting on how awesome those products are -- which would be the same exaggerated reaction Apple fan boys (and Steve Jobs) have right now and the reason why people seem to hate Apple's products.

However, I'm not an Apple fan boy and Apple does have some serious issues. For example, it's really hard to trust Apple's words some times and determine if what they say is real or just a marketing scheme. Also, the recent attacks towards Nokia, Blackberry, HTC (and others) regarding the antenna is absolutely unnecessary and just goes to show what poor sportsmanship Apple has.

And I am really annoyed with its closed environment on the iOS, such as the rejection of the Google Voice app for the iTunes store whereas there are camera applications that have been approved, even though they duplicate the features that come with the phone.

Then again, I don't hate Apple and I'm able to look past the branding and look at the product itself. I'm just glad that Apple is an American brand.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] g00fette:
I know there's a bunch of threads out there on the different cooked ROMs that are available out there. Being a noobie to this, I was looking for any insight how to go about flashing my very first cooked ROM. I have a Tilt2 that I purchased a little over a month ago with a couple tweeks I mustered up enough confidence to do: crud scraper and some registry edits via rescoe editor. Flashing a ROM seems like there's a whole lot more involved and with my limited knowledge may wind up rendering my phone inoperable for life with one or three missed steps.

Any insights as to the necessary steps .... in a step by step manner preferably .... would be very much appreciated!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] penfold:
does anyone else find that the nexus takes much better still pictures than the galaxy.

Better contrast, saturation, less noise, better focus, especially in low light conditions.

Here are 2 examples, both at the same settings, except the galaxy i activated anti-shake, which seems to reduce the graininess a little.

Sure the galaxy pic looks fine when shrunk down by 50% but compared at full size, imo it looks like crap compared to the nexus

Picture quality is indeed very poor on the SGS, maybe even worse than the HTC Hero I had before...pics look very blurry, almost useless really...hope future roms can improve this...(little hope).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
After using the camera i feel that the auto focus system used aint that great and is the real failing point of the camera. Overall, pictures are soft and not well focused, and i just can never seem to focus on close subjects. E.g. when i try to take a picture of an insect, it focuses till its clear but then backs out and gives me the red box.

i tried a second galaxy and the image quality was quite improved over the first one ....wether it is the firmware or the hardware i have no idea, but i have a feeling they are using different sensors at random.

with an HD video camera, you would think it would also take decent still images

....they either come out very grainy or out of focus

Hey guys,

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on my problem. I have a rooted EVO (rooted using the SimpleRoot program) running the Cyanogen Froyo RC.

I want to return the phone back to factory default since the official Froyo comes out this week anyways, and I don't want to have problems upgrading to the official version.

I attempted to run the RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459 from shippedroms.com, but at first I was getting:

ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

Thinking it was probably a driver issue, I uninstalled HTC Sync, HTC Driver Installer, and PDANet (just for good measure), rebooted, and reinstalled (making sure virusscan was disabled).

I then connected my phone and reran the RUU. To my surprise, I got past the recognition and it got past the original error. As it attempts to flash the stock image, however, the first thing it does is reboot to the bootloader. The first thing I get is "waiting for bootloader..." and then after a timeout, I get:

ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR

I just want to get this thing back to stock. Can anyone help me, please!?

I know I should know this but what does it mean to de-odex a rom? I see it all over the place, they claim its hard to do, but what is it?
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
read this http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions it isnt in depth about it but gives you the general idea.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
LOL Ya but could someone explain it in english? I have no idea what that link was about
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I THINK deodexing means that you make the app independent of the phone. From what I can gather ( and I spent exactly 10 seconds reading thru the link posted in the previous post).. Odex is something that is used to be specific to a particular hardware.. which is checked when it is run.. by deodexing.. that odex has to check against a bunch of hardware and thus is hardware independent..
[Droid Incredible General] Θmega:
From the link:

The other reason odex files difficult things is because you can't modify services.jar unless it's deodexed, and in order for it to be deodexed you have to deodex everything (at least that's how I understand it).
[Droid Incredible General] immjg:
OK, so why do I care. I just want the software to run the best on my Incredible. If it is made for specific hardware, wouldn't that be a good thing? If it was the other way around, say, you took software that was designed to work with many pieces of hardware and timmed it to work only with one piece of hardware. I thought that would make it faster on that one piece of hardware.

So if a ROM is de-odexed can it run on more than just an Incredible, and how do you know what else it can run on?
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
HA HA good question..........
