[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmanjj:
I am fully rooted and running toasted delight beta 2 rom. I like to use a task manager and kill my programs every hour or so. How ever my free memory was about 170 or so. Now its 70mbs. What do I do other than restart my phone?

from my evo son!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
In my opinion, I wouldn't worry about it. Task killers do not even seem necessary unless you are getting FC's or very bad performance because of a lack of memory (it would have to be at 30MB or less to reach a critical level)

Android memory management can usually do a pretty good job handling all the applications you have open, if memory runs low it begins a procedure of terminating the app's you have not used in a while, freeing up more space for newly opened apps (you can think about it like a stack really)

Android also performs something along the lines of pre-loading commonly used apps into memory. Even if you are not using the app, if it is commonly used then it can get partially loaded into memory. Thus, if you use an app killer to kill off an app or service, if you commonly use the app then android may still be loading it into memory (and therefore it will bring your total memory down).

anyone with corrections please do :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladthedog:
having unused memory = worthless. In fact, I use a memory management prog to set any custom rom back to default memory management settings (off the top of my head something like 24mb of unused memory left is when it goes in to action).

I think this is a windows vs linux type thinking... I've noticed that, ever since I switched to linux I've gotten used to the fact that my OS is prepping things for the future (i.e. preloading stuff into memory that it thinks I will need). In the end it makes the system much snappier.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
If this is old news, I apologise.

While rooting and flashing the latest radio recently, I very nearly bought an unlock code for my Desire, but now I'm glad I waited. Everything's working fine without one, so I thought I'd let people know that updating the radio of your Orange (or other carrier?) branded device may not cause a simlock after all. It was the only thing stopping me rooting my phone, and is probably is many others as well.

Maybe the latest radio (5.09, the one I am now using) has been reworked so as not to cause this problem...
[Desire General] atomfix:
The 5.09 radio update is the only one that seems to not network lock your phone which is really good because I can use 720p video recording :D

I have heard a little rumour that the Orange 2.1 QMR is being released right about... NOW.

Expect the update soon people!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
Part 1 is out OTA now. Part 2... not so much.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nlel:
Got part 1 of the OTA earlier this evening, I just set my clock forward to 26/01/11 and started a mobile network connecton and within 15 seconds it prompted me for the update.

It installed fine and now I am on Rom 2.73.61.92 from 2.73.61.66 and I have the check for updates option which will save me having to push the clock forward next time.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chewdiggy:
Just done that too. I swear when I first booted my phone that option was available. Will try the 2.1 official when it arrives, seeing as I can't find any way of flashing a rom using a Macbook.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
No update here, despite plenty of date switching, and trying both WiFi and hsdpa connections. Any tips?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chewdiggy:
Did you get the update to 2.73.61.92 by setting your phone's date to 26 Jan 2011?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
I'm still on 2.73.61.5 - is the .66 update required to do the OTA one?

just to confirm, you definately have to be on .66 (the february download-and-install update that didn't seem to do much) to get the OTA update. As soon as I did that, it came up instantly (in fact, I had to put it off until I could give it my wifi details)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chewdiggy:
Only got my Hero last week, was fresh out of the box. Fingers crossed that the rumoured update isn't BS...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vagdesign:
I also forwarded the date to Jan/27/2011 and immediately got the update screen. The phone downloaded the 3MB update and installed it after a reboot that took 3 minutes. Now waiting for the 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:

Information: statement from HTC on Hero Android 2.1 delay

Please see below the following statement from HTC in relation to the delay on the HTC Hero 2.1 Android update for Orange customers:

“We apologise for the delay in Orange Hero customers receiving their Éclair update. Testing the update across European markets took longer than anticipated. However, we hope to receive final approval by the end of the week and Orange handsets should start updating from next week.”

To be attributed to a HTC spokesperson

This from the Orange Newsroom
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chewdiggy:
Cool, will hold off flashing a ROM until end of next week then. One stupid question, does 2.1 offer multi-touch support? I'm itching to give some emulators a go.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] dinsey:
Hi guys, thanks for making this so easy and flexiable. Nice to have the functionality of HTC desire on the Touch Pro.

Have a UK GSM Touch Pro with android install. XDAndroid 2.1 (rel 2.5a)

Questions?

Cannot seem to be able to go back, have to keep hitting the power top button which takes it back to the main page.

With windows mobile you could press the left arrow and it would go back to previous menus.

The house pictured button doesnt do anything, reject / cancel call take you to the unlock phone page.

I am on the O2 network, the phone works fine but states I am on BT Cellnet.

Don't get any icons flashin for alerts, IE sms, missed call, emails.

Thanks

Hi does any one know of a dvorak keyboard layout for our evos? I have a sneaking suspicion that we would see some nice speed gains in typing using that layout.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I think this would be interesting to have. I tried teaching myself Dvorak last semester, but I had too many things to type up so I was faced with 1) stick with QWERTY and ruin my learning, or 2) use Dvorak and slow my typing down to 15 WPM. Maybe I will give it another shot in the future.

Edit: AnySoftKeyboard in the Market has a Dvorak add-on pack.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Wazzy:
I've tried the any keyboard and didn't like it. If we could get that layout for the stock or modded htc keyboard that would be sweet.

I would mod it myself but I have no knowledge of these things and from all the digging haven't been able to figure out where to start.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gnatman:
I have been doing some digging myself, because I really want this to happen, and it looks like in order to make a dvorak keyboard layout, we would have to start with the source code found here, and build our own.

h**p://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME.git

The layout information can be found in the java/res/xml/kbd_qwerty.xml file, seen here:

h**p://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME.git;a=blob;f=java/res/xml/kbd_qwerty.xml

However, the big problem with just changing all those keys to dvorak ones is that the symbol keys on dvorak are on the top, but on the bottom on qwerty. So if you count just the actual letters, the letters per row will be off.

Basically, what we need to do is move the delete key to the upper right, and rearrange the number of keys per row.

I've never done any coding for Android before, and so I've tried, but I'm still trying to figure out if I can build only the LatinIME.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gnatman:
I finally found some time to take this on.

It's not perfect, but maybe it will work for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
The reason for the ._ (which is actually called AppleDot or DotUnderscore) is because of the File system Mac uses (HFS, HFS+)... and when transferring files from Mac to Windows or Windows file systems (Fat32, Fat, NTFS), the files tend to show up like this, it's a Unix thing which Apple has been using for quite some time.

If you want to get rid of this, you can export the following command. To make it permanent, enter this into your .bash_profile file using a text editor.

At the bottom of the file, enter:

export COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE =true

Hello everyone,

Looking for a solution to an issue with the Music Player I have stumbled across within the first couple days of using the Captivate.

I have an external 16GB sd card filled with mp3s that has ~2GB free. When opening Music Player I find all of my files are there, but if I try switching to "Artists" view the application will close and I will get the message "Not Enough Space in Music Database". My internal sd card does not have any media on it so this card is nearly 100% empty.

It's pretty annoying not having the ability to sort by artists as you could imagine.

Sorry if this has been covered already, but I couldn't find anything in the Captivate forum about it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
