Is your WiFi on? I get skipping when my WiFi is on. When it is off - no problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mikdugal1:
ordered 15 days ago still waiting and still excited.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
Mine showed up today. YAY!:D Set it up and tried it out. The ear buds that comes with it are junk, I like the in-ear silicone buds, so I'm using my old set. Sounds great. Couple of skips, but nothing terrible. I prefer my Motorola S9s around the house, but they suck for mountain biking because the helmet and glasses make them spread and I get wind noise. These will work great for biking. I can stuff the cord down my shirt and clip the little box to my shirt collar. Worth every penny, should have bought two.;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] adoute:
Glad to hear yours arrived. You got your shipping notice on 8/27, right? If so, that means my second set (shipped on 9/6, supposedly) could arrive in the next week. The first set (shipped 8/4) still haven't arrived...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BeEazy10:
Nice, i well now u know ordering for hong kong take sometime, be careful with the clip its not that study i ended up putting a string threw the back of mines to keep and make my own little make shift clip :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Jackos:
I use already a HTC BH-M300, but I found the review useful. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
Finally spent some time using mine today and am somewhat disappointed. It appears the problem with skipping is in the device, not any settings on the phone. In my home where I am surrounded by wireless routers and other radio devices, it skips often, sometimes repeatedly for several seconds or more. I rode with it to the park and once I got into the wilderness and away from any buildings, overhead power lines and traffic, it was great. Not a skip whatsoever. That is, until I got close to the R/C park in the middle. As soon as I was near all those planes and transmitters...skip city. I also notice that touching the unit often causes a skip and getting even as little as 7-10 feet away from the phone causes skipping and complete loss of signal. My conclusion is that the radio in this unit is not very strong and it isn't properly shielded to protect it from stray radio signals. Even still, it has its purpose and I will continue to use it. Worth the money? Yeah, just know that it has its quirks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BeEazy10:
Hmmm... tell me this the BCK cost about five bucks... say if i were to upgrade to something more high tech you think there would be an different in performance?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Kennethss:
Good review, thanks, i just want to buy Bluetooth Headset, BCK Stereo universal Bluetooth Headset is a good choice.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
I have two Motorola BT headphones, the S9 and the DJ style. Neither suffers from this skipping issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BeEazy10:
hmm... welll that kind help im going to look around and see whats out there then report back
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] adoute:
Well, its been another month and I still have not received anything other than excuses from the seller. Contacted them again today, can't wait to see what they say this time.

At least it wasn't too expensive. I should probably just get a set of BT headphones anyway...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] GoJo ^^:
Bought it so long ago...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] televate:
This may seem like an odd question, but it might be Group related?

I go to my APN list, and there are 3 apns listed. They are as follows...

T-Mobile Data, T-Mobile FOTA, T-Mobile MMS.

I saw a post on engadget about the official froyo update for the EVO 4G, and it had the same FOTA abbreviation in the screenshot for the OTA update. Knowing that .the EVO runs the Sense UI, could this mean that T-Mobile is gearing up for an official froyo update? Again this could all be coincidence, but I thought I would bring it to everyone's attention.

BTW, I'm running the champion build with the latest build, rooted of course.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] televate:
Froyo related, not group related. My bad.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] televate:
Latest radio, not build lol. I should really spell check before I post.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
It just the server that they send ota updates on.... it can send any update through the apn; entire new os builds like 2.2 or just minor ones like a software update for sync contacts fix. I doubt we'll see froyo until late fall. Sense usually takes longer but maybe we'll be surprised and get it in a month? Who knows...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
APN

I had the same 3 APN's but here is the kicker, when I was having MMS trouble, the rep actually had me remove the T-Mobile MMS APN. So I am not sure if the APN's hold a significant value for the froyo update.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
What?! How do you get mms/sms if your mms apn is deleted?! That makes no sense... One is data: the other is mms: and the other is for ota. What's so complicated about that?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Well, it would solve your MMS problem. Now you just don't have to worry about it anymore cause you can't send or receive them no matter what! :cool:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Gootah:
BUT!

If I'm not mistaken the normal APN has MMS settings filled in, for some reason u only need the minimal to send and recieve MMS messages. Not all tha fields you needed for WinMo
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Ah. That may work if MMS is configured in to the regular APN as well, never tried that. I don't use t-mobile so I don't have the access point info to look at. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
I removed the MMS APN but filled the other APN with the mms setting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBlueSky.Net:
Hi everyone,

I struggles for some time to make Kies recognize my phone; it still fails on my Windows 7 64-bit though, but at least it works on XP.

The most important reason for me to use Kies is to get the latest official update from Samsung (I'm still using I9000JXJF1). Unfortunately when I went to Firmware Upgrade section it gave me the following message:

Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version: PDA:JF4 / PHONE:JF1
This device's version cannot be updated.

I really want to update to the latest official update as I heard it speeds things up and I started to face some lags from time to time. I don't want to reach the point when everything I run needs few seconds to start or the phone becomes not instantly responsive (the responsiveness was a major factor in my decision to buy it)

Thanks in advance

P.S.: I don't know if it's helpful, but here are my firmware files versions:

PDA: I9000JPJF4

PHONE: I9000JXJF1

CSC: I9000OJPJF4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
You can use Odin to upgrade the firmware, it is an easy process.

I'm sure there are some threads already on it with step by step instructions. You can choose there which firmware you wish to upgrade to. I would go with jg5 personally.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheBlueSky.Net:
I'm quite new to Android and newer to updating flashing stuff, so there are very little details that I know about the process, all from what I read here in this forum.

Anyway, the problem is I bought my phone here in UAE and it came with Arabic support (reading and writing) and I don't want to lose that when upgrading to new firmware, also I'm not really welling to try any custom ROM/firmware or anything, that's the reason why I wanted an official upgrade.

I don't know where to get these information from, but if I can get an official firmware release and make sure I retain the Arabic support, then I don't mind using Odin or any other tool to upgrade my phone.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] smurfgod:
I'm not trying to spend alot of cash..Maybe 40$.

I've got a 2gig now and it's just too small for my needs. I had Android plus music and photo's and it's full.. I'm looking for a 8 or 16 gig.

What should I be looking for?? I've never considered the "class" of a card..Is that about the same as the Cas Latency of ram??

Anyway..Whats the best for my budget?? I"m looking to order tonight so any help ASAP would be welcome..lol

Thanks

~SMurf

Edit: I don't need an adapter is it would make it cheaper..lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] saurabh88:
8gb is around 19..20$..but stay with class 4 as lower class has bad effect on card reqding speed,streaming speed and data trasfer speed..u will lose it on class2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] smurfgod:
I almost got a class 4 PNY 8 gig from wal-mart for 30$..I thought it was high so I put it back..I'm on Newegg right now hunting but it's 2:49am here now and I'm tired..lol

But thanks for the info.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] redpoint73:
Good call, I don't like PNY stuff in general. I bought a PNY USB thumb drive on impulse. Needed it last minute for a business trip, and it seemed like a good price for the capacity. It was really cheaply made, and the USB port part eventually pulled apart from the plastic body.

Also got a PNY SD card (not a Micro, but a regular SD for my camera). Again, probably since it was good capacity for the $$$, and I figured its a simple SD card, what can go wrong? Well the plastic body started splitting apart, and the "read only" lock switch fell out. I actually found the little plastic lock switch part (was in my travel bag) and was able to super glue the card back together.

Moral of the story, I'm personally going to stay away from PNY products from now on.

Sandisk makes very reliable SD cards. But they tend to be a bit pricier than other brands, and class 4 and higher are hard to find in the higher capacities for the Sandisk. I'd stick with a reputable dealer, like Newegg (as you mentioned). There are lots of SD cards on eBay, but lots of them are fakes, tampered with (and relabeled) to make them report higher capacity than they really are.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] smurfgod:
I haven't gotten a new card yet but founf out my 2 gig is actually not half bad. I was adding the droid files to my card after a format and the write speeds got to 5.25 megs.guess its better then what I thought it was..maybe a class six?

Isn't there an app that tells you all that stuff?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] -Jonny-:
I bought one of these from eBay, and am very pleased with it. It's a class 6 with USB reader.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bmhome1:
A GENUINE SanDisk 16GB micro SDHC can be found easily on eBay for under $40 shipped. Avoid "bulk" and janky Hong Kong sellers. Buy blister pack retail sealed SanDisk to get the real thing. The fakes out there are staggering.

The effort is well worth it, the 16GB is very conservatively classed as 2, but far out-performs in use as attached benchmark shows.

It plays Avatar silky-smooth and apps on card fly. Too much room will seem silly in a few months usage!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] PocketPcUser05:
Hey there.

NewEgg is definitely where you want to shop. I have this (Although my purchase came with all the adaptors):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211351

Great product, completely satisfied and great quality. Going strong now for over 9 months without a single data loss issue, or anything really to complain about at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] derrickadams:
I purchased this one from Newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208453

So far it has been working great, I dont have any read/write test stats. But I have been listening to music, moving files, and watching video's without any problems.

[Android Apps and Games] Cincybearcatfan:
This is my first post here. I've read and learned lots from all of you, now I have a question that I can't find an answer to our figure out on my own.

I've searched and searched and tried pidgin, jabber, etc. and can not figure out how to populate my gtalk with facebook chat. Can anyone help me do this? I'd really like to use something like Facebook connect to add them, similar to what aim uses. I have an Incredible.
[Android Apps and Games] es0tericcha0s:
Check out Meebo. It connects a bunch of different messengers like Facebook, Talk, Yahoo, MSN, AIM, Windows Live, etc. Really, I haven't heard of any popular messengers that it doesn't work with...
[Android Apps and Games] Cincybearcatfan:
I really want to use Gtalk since it is already integrated into Android. I currently use ebuddy for chat but it's a battery hog. Gtalk doesn't seem to eat as much battery. I know Facebook and Google are in a huge pissing match over $$$$ and there is NO WAY Facebook would ever open their doors and let Google in, but I thought there might be a work around that I could use to get it done myself. I'm just not that smart.
[Android Apps and Games] BuzzFuzz:
eBuddy (free app Market) - MSN, Yahoo chat, AIM, Gtalk, FaceBook, ICQ, MySpace

Works like a charm ;)
[Android Apps and Games] justanordinarydude:
yeah or just use a jabber transport --> but be carefull, it WILL mess with ur contacts
[Android Apps and Games] gtcardwhere:
please let me know if you find anything. i have tried just about every IM client out there and the battery problem is almost ridiculous. both my g1 and my vibrant drain 10% per hour on idle if i am connected to an aim client, whereas it drains 1% every 2-3 hours when i kill the aim client with ATK.
[Android Apps and Games] wfagan59:
I just followed http://technobuz.com/2011/05/add-facebook-chat-to-google-chat/ and it's working like a champ. It didn't mess up any of my contacts either, which is a good thing, because I keep them clean and neat as can be.

Only flaw is some facebook profiles show up as random numbers while others actually show their names. I just sent them a quick "hi" then looked on facebook messages to see who they were, and changed the name in Google Talk.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgarozzo:
The only reason I have is for using titanium backup but that will be redundant once devs are all on board with backing up. I broke my last Evo trying to do a full root. So im trying to decide if I want to go through the process again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
Thinking out loud? Best of luck in your endevours.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
You want to root because its cool. :/

Seriously what is going on here?

Free Wifi Tether, Titanium backup, root explorer, themes, custom roms....etc...why NOT root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
The main reason not to root is if you don't care about what you get with root. Remember, root permissions does mean that your phone is a tad more vulnerable. It wouldn't take much of an app to really screw you over. That said, there are ways that root provides security, but rooting for the sake of rooting isn't exactly the best idea. I unrooted because I'm fine with stock. When someone finds a way to root 2.2, I'll probably try it again for a little while. I'm hoping that by the time root comes, someone will find a way to fix the PRI to be back to stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runvus:
Plus Set CPU(my main reason, HUGE increase in battery life), removal of the crappy sprint programs that run all the time(hello Amazon MP3).

[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
I'm interested in hearing peoples opinions on this.

1. Do you think Gingerbread will bring a complete interface overhaul? I'm talking animations, images, layouts, multi tasking, notifications, launcher & more

2. Do you think it'll be like sense, improving social network integration, tidying up a lot of images images and adding a bit more functionality to widgets etc?

3. Do you think it'll be like a skin, simply taking image files that exist throughout Android and making them look more modern?

If they do infact do (1), do you think we'll lose functionality of some applications? Will apps have to be designed or positioned differently on Gingerbread?

I'm very excited for this, especially after seeing a video of MeeGo OS running on a smart phone, it looked so fly. In my opinion Google is going to need big changes to compete with MeeGo's interface (Not saying MeeGo is gonna take out Android, just saying it looked really nice & polished compared to Android's current state).

Google did good work in 2.1 with the launcher, app draw, animated backgrounds etc. but the stock images, buttons etc look so old. I think it needs an overhaul! :)
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
Well apparently 3.0 is gonna give the whole UI and device a revamp of looks so i cant wait to see what they do, I hope they make android become as polished as ios and bring smoother scrolling in.
[Nexus One General] Ryjabo:
This... very much, this.

It's amazing to me that third-party launcher replacements offer perfectly smooth scrolling and the stock OS doesn't. I don't get it.
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
I also want a whole new camera interface with more control, and a built in note pad,to-do list, the basic functionality of a regular cell phone, better market support like the ability to block certain developers apps from appearing and higher quality apps as well as maybe a ui revamp in the market app. Also make more use of the gpu for graphcs. One last thing add a stock widget that displays time and weather and make it AMAZING.

Thats all i really want

OH and a better stock keyboard.
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
My predictions.

- Hopefully a new Multitasking UI

- Improved or customizable notification bar( hasn't changed since 1.0)

- General graphic UI revamp.

A Google employee said of you look at the Nexus One gallery app,expect a similar vibe for the whole UI in Gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] erikiksaz:
Oh god, we're just two days into august, the speculation can't start now. Gingerbread was mentioned to be released at the end of the year, which probably means Q1 of 2011. That's quite a ways away!

Once you get this gingerbread speculation rolling, we'll never see the end of it, considering it's only august!
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
I really like the sound of this although I can't think of how they would do this? I really wanna see a web os like multi tasking too
[Nexus One General] Forge94:
Speculation can never begin too early!

If anything, we're late.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
I think they are gonna allow us to customize the UI as we see fit. All those Themes and UI's in the Nexus Forum will be able to be added to stock Android's without rooting.
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
Neat idea, although I think they'll still need a very nice & tidy stock version/overhaul to go with this as a lot of people will review the stock interface, rather than how you can customise it & many will never bother changing it too I imagine! (I don't understand those sort of people :p)
[Nexus One General] mythamp:
I think most of this UI overhaul is pure speculation based on the fact that google hired Palm webOS Designer Matias Duarte. He cannot possibly bring so much change in the few months he has been at google. But I will keep my hopes high that they can give a more smoother UI experience (where android phones/netbooks with additional graphics chip can take advantage of its hardware).

A strong and capable google official Theme Maker app (like metamorph) can bring alot of enthusiasm behind it. Would be tough though with so many unique android devices out there, how can they accommodate them all? :S
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i agree. i also believe that many people speculate that Duarte will bring in many UI changes, but as you said we are talking about 3 months which isn't enough time for a person manage to change the whole look of an OS.

i would be happy if google could at least get their act together with the homescreen which is still laggy as hell and the app drawer which has laggy zoom animations on froyo.

Having all those great benchmarks is cool and sometimes froyo is really fast, but especially the homescreen is a huge letdown.

And the homescreen is the place which you will see most of the time...
[Nexus One General] kindiboy:
If it's laggy with you i suggest you return your device and get a new one... because this problem doesn't exist on the 3 nexus ones i've used.
[Nexus One General] LevitateJay:
I didn't realise he only had 3 months to work with it... :/

Although I imagine he has quite a team working with him to get a lot done in whatever time they have!
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I'm running stock Froyo and I don't notice any lag in the homescreen and the app drawer. I installed Launcherpro before and I didn't notice any difference in scrolling. Both stock homescreen and Launcherpro homescreen have smooth scrolling.

Maybe someone can direct me with a video that can show me what a laggy scrolling is like.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
yeah i dont get the laggy scrolling either, but then again i use launcher pro for so long now. i'm getting really sick of people comparing choppy scrolling, i want to make a video showing otherwise!! i'll admit certain UI lists do get choppy. but most are not so.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
oh and doesnt anybody listen to android podcasts? last week android guys podcast leaked a little rumor that gingerbread was all about tablets, heard from someone directly involved. make of that what you will.
[Nexus One General] norazi:
im personally against making the UI look more like iOS... i like the direction that windows 7 mobile is headed with the simplistic 2 tone menus and choice of text over icons.. things like pretty scrolling and fancy animated icons add more bloat
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
nobody said anything about making the UI look like an iphone, it was said to make the UI be AS POLISHED as the ios is.
[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
Gingerbread will make Android look like the Gallery app. If you watch the Google I/O videos on YouTube you see that a new music app is being used which has the UI of the current Gallery app.

So when they were showing off FroYo back at the conference, they already had some work done for Gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] hfalk4:
I hope that they will enable proxy settings. so I can use my phone on the school network (Y)

[Nexus One General] frozengash:
Also rumors about gmusic integration. ITunes ish
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
well since google music is lauching at the same time as gingerbread it should be integrated with the update.
