Really? I had a HD2 and although it was smooth, the windows base showed through and ruined the whole experience. Android and WP7 are nice looking from the base up. Id say that if there was a full port of 7 available I'd give it a go. Only had my streak a couple of days and loving the hardware.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Dameon45:
Initially i downloaded Wiimote off the market and found that i could not connect my controller without the hassle of a passkey or pin. Well they offer 0000 or 1234 as options for the standard pass and those did not work. After a few minutes i downloaded a second one to see if it had an option to bypass it and sure enough it did. It's called "SimpleWiiController" and it's FREEEEEE! So i installed that and turned on my bluetooth. When you open the application it gives and option to enable it, select input, and connect. Well ENABLE, Select input to remote, and as you ENABLE connect hold 1&2 on remote or red button in battery door. Once connected you will see success or you will see test input received signals for each button you press. Needless to say i was excited because the virtual keyboard annoys me. So i started snesoid and started playing mario.

For best results:

-ENABLE "USE INPUT METHOD" in snesoid. Close to bottom of screen.

-disable virtual keyboard (enabling fullscreen)

-map keys (key mapping)

-turn remote in desired direction

My Setup:

- Up = up

- Down = down

- left = left

- right = right

- select = minus

- Start = plus

- A = 2

- X (essentially B button on snes) = 1 (speedrun setup just like controller)

- B (spin) = A

If i had a camera i'd post a youtube video or something. but i do not :(. If any help is needed using these two pairings i'd be glad to help. But as far as NES and PSX i have no idea.

Is a task killer needed on froyo or can it manage without one?

If you dont use one, does the list of running apps get larger and larger?
[Nexus One General] xXJay_RXx:
i heard task killers arent good but eh, i keep one just in case :)
[Nexus One General] uberamd:
I haven't used one on Froyo and it runs fine.
[Nexus One General] johnnie93:
Android can handle the tasks better then you..dont use the task killers they are bad for the long run..
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

Specifically Froyo is more aggressive than Eclair. The tasks are killed by the system more often than I'd want to.
[Nexus One General] asdfasd2:
if i don't use a task killer my browser will eat up all my internal memory and will stop my phone from getting text messages..
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Clear browser cache - better and simpler than using task killer, no?
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Same here! Used a Taskkiller nearly every day on Android 2.1

I still have a light one installed but I actually never kill any app.

I sometimes close some services with Applications / running services thing.

Apps like PingChat! for example.. apps I don't use regulary
[Nexus One General] asdfasd2:
Do you know where I can get widget for that?
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:
The built in running tab in 2.2 is better than any task killer i know. Its under manage applications. you shuold see four tabs "Downloaded\Running\All\On Sd card". Why the need for a third party task killer?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
1:0 to you :) If you need to use it THAT much - perhaps you're better off using task killer for that. Did you try setting up old-school Apps2SD to free some internal memory?
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I don't use any task killers. But I do use system panel which is the best out there by far.

The browser gets large over time, but if you just go in and close all your windows, the browser releases all the space.
[Nexus One General] A2Eric:
if task killers are not needed then why when I open the task killer there is always a whole page of tasks running?
[Nexus One General] hbkmog:
Because those processes barely use your system resource, so there's no need to close them in case you might want to use them any time again.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Old winmobo habit is kinda hard to get rid off isn't it? =)
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
They aren't really running. Most of them don't have any system usage when they're idle. They're just "running" (not really) to start things faster.

When you kill them most stuff will start slower and this is using more battery
[Nexus One General] ChronoReverse:
I've found that task killers generally hurt more than they help, draining batteries faster for little benefit.

Furthermore, in the rare situation where there really is a rogue app eating up RAM, you can kill it using the built in Running Applications tab under Settings.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Because that's how android functions, it purposely loads those things, and they are static, frozen in the background not using any resources. By fighting the OS to keep killing those, you waste battery cause the OS will just keep opening them and the task killer will keep closing them, over and over, killing your battery.

You guys can test this yourself using the app system panel. Enable monitoring and see what's using your CPU, you will see exactly what is using resources and why it has no effect on your battery.

Hi All,

I have had HTC phones now for as long as I remember. And happy with them!

My last handset was the touch diamond 2 - unbranded and running windows 6.5. I tried varies roms until I found one that I was happy with.

The screen is now broken on the phone (not for he first time) and am thinking of upgrading. Now after a fair bit of research it seems that Android is the way to go - and particularly the Desire handset.

This phone however had been released now for over 4 months - so, does anyone know what (and when) the next hardware to the HTC Desire will be. I'm happy to wait a month or so, but if longer, will probably buy the Desire now.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[General Questions and Answers] myth1001:
There's rumor saying that the successor of HTC Desire, HTC Ace will be released in a few months.

You can Google it and have a look at the rumoured specs.

If you will not be tempted to get that when its released, then you should probably get your Desire now. =)

The only set of earphones that works perfectly for me, is a set of earphones, with 4 METAL parts divided by 3 PLASTIC parts -/-/-/- (in the " male" Jack pin that sticks into the hole)...the standard "stereo" Jack didn't work for radio...(I.e. -/-/- ) I think you need the set with an inline volume control. (Just my experience ). Other "media" (movies,music,web,etc work fine with simple 3 part pin...:)

Anyone else try a 4 piece vs a 3 piece male pin, for FM?:rolleyes:

I was going to exchange my phone for a new one, I was getting tired of using the "official JIGGLE TECHNIQUE", to play radio.

Three things:

1) Radio works AWESOME now, scanner is good, but the radio "pops" when moving about(like walking or riding a bike) like the old car radios... how did car radios get fixed?

2) The inline button works for turning on and off the Music Player, while I'm web browsing! I can also change volume and skip songs with the inline button! CM6-RC1 :cool:

3) I have no radio with CM6-RC1:rolleyes:

Anyway, I can't "volume control" from the inline button(up/down) but it can skip songs(two fast clicks,while a song is playing) ... it can turn on/off songs(even while web browsing-without interrupting your web page...or seeing the player)...

But you can go to the player with one long button push, then back to your web page with the "Back arrow" button on the phone.:D

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?

thank u for your idea. Yeah i learnt that htc is very very pretty brand. But in Turkey, HTC's technical support is very bad. i broke my Hero's screen and i searched a service that can repair it for a week. finally i found one but it was very expensive. because there isn't any screen to be changed. so they bought from another country. luckily my parents can afford this. i'm a lucky kid in Turkey economically. but samsung and sony ericsson, there are lots of technical service for them ! :S i love HTC too, but in Turkey it's not popular...

[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
I've been looking at new phones for the past month lol so here are some ideas:

Acer S100 Liquid E: Cheap/mid to high range phone/underclocked 750mhz snapdragon/LCD/256mb ram (350$) "its the poor mans decent android phone"

HTC Desire/Nexus One: similar good all around phones/1ghz snapdragon/AMOLED/512~546mb ram (550$ newish 400ish used)

X10: insane camera (8mp)/1ghz snapdragon/256mb ram (490$ new)

LG Optimus Z: not yet released but a beautiful phone

Acer Stream: expensive and the same as the X10 =\ (600$)

Samsung Galaxy S: fastest and best phone on the market currently

personally I'm getting the galaxy S on contract soon since in the long run it'll be cheaper and better than buying a new nexus one

If you're intent on getting a HTC manufactured phone I suggest the Nexus one, since it will probably get software updates quicker than the Desire
[General Questions and Answers] swimmer_tr:
there are no contracts when buying phones in Turkey and there aren't any Galaxy S with official selling. If i'll buy it, i'll buy it from another country.

What about samsung Wave ? It's very sexy :D :D
[General Questions and Answers] viditkalra:
htc desire - a no brainer android(you cant go wrong with it..just close your eyes and buy one) but i dont like the pinkish tint on the AMOLED screen and i am not a fan of its look.

xperia x10 - by far the best looking smartphone (according to me)..the screen is gorgeous..but 1.6 is outdated and lack of MT may be a deal breaker..

in the end, it comes down to your personal taste..i went for xperia x10 because of the looks and better sony tech support in my country.. and yes, this was when desire wasnt OFFICIALLy available..

and about samsung WAVE..it has bada OS..if thats not a dealbreaker for you..this is one of the best VFM smartphone iv seen yet..
