I do kinda agree with that, but Android has a lot of potential to do whatever with the market and all. but still, for businesses and stuff I'm sure blackberries are the way to go.

Getting back on topic a bit, on my way to work, my dad was listening to NPR and they were doing this exact story, talking about net neutrality. they said that Verizon admitted to having talked to Google for the past ten months about offering premium speeds.

I dint know what to believe, or know what's going on, but either way I don't like the idea, and if it is happening best thing to do is voice your opinion and if nothing is happening no hard done right? and then Google knows that we're seriously about net neutrality
[EVO 4G General] nicholaaaas:
i'm with you on that. it's all really weird. a few months ago i heard google wanted to offer their own internet service. so that would put them in direct competition with verizon... it's all real complicated... and can not be simply brushed under the rug with a tweet

When ever I reboot my phone, the Switch Pro widget says "Problem loading widget" and when I try to put that widget back, I cannot find the widget. It is still in my app drawer, but not visible in the list of widgets.

The only way to get this back is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Any suggestions?

Never happens to me. Try reinstalling and rebooting.

Nice job there pal, your font looks awesome.. could you help me get this font? thanx!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Nice phonebook!!

(Is the theme personal? lol )
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Hi.

The font is "Sony Sketch", and I used TypeFresh to install it, but you'll also need AndExplorer as it's a requirement of TypeFresh. See attachment for all 3, and the font is already renamed so you just need to select them in TypeFresh.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] high5:
Right, I've installed TypeFresh and AndExplorer.... but i'm struggling on getting this working! When I go in to TypeFresh I dont see Sony Sketch?

Sorry if I'm being an idiot!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] high5:
Maybe a walkthrough?

sorry again :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Assuming you've transferred the font to your SD, open TF, which will list the fonts on the phone, tap on DroidSans-Bold.ttf, which will then open up a window of which font on your SD to swap it with, so find the font on the SD card which should be named the same as the one you're swapping it with i.e DroidSans-Bold.ttf, click ok, which will take you back to the original screen, then do the same for DroidSans.ttf, again click ok so you should see two blue arrows now next to the fonts to be changed. Click the menu button, Apply Fonts, then they should be changed and the phone will ask you to reboot.

I had already renamed the fonts before uploading so you're not going to see Sony Sketch, but DroidSans-Bold.ttf & DroidSans.ttf.

[About XDA developers] AllGamer:
Just launched yesterday live with rock concert and all.

This one is different from the T-mobile version as it comes exactly like the SGS i9000 with the front camera and all its whistle, plus a few more extra apps, but it runs on the 850 instead of the 900 and it's apparently locked, the international 900 is unlocked

So... are we going to get a new forum for this variant of the Galaxy S, or should we go with this suggestion that many has agreed on this topic?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723076&page=3

to amalgamate all the Galaxy S variants into one organized Samsung Galaxy S forum, then a General section for each sub variant(carrier), else if we keep the current model, we'll have way too many duplicated forums for the same thing, also the development/messages will not be transparent to end users specially those not aware all these models are the same.

Cheers :)
[About XDA developers] cmstlist:
I guess one important question is: Are ROMs and root methods interchangeable (or nearly so) between the Bell Vibrant and the international versions? If so, then discussion of the Bell Vibrant belongs in the international Galaxy S forum.
[About XDA developers] AllGamer:
the only difference is the radio band, just like the New Zealand model and China model

they are all GT-i9000, but all 4 models (Euro, Asia, NZ, Canada) each runs on a different set of Quadbands

- Edit -

it might be okay to have the Asia and NZ thrown into the same bucket as SGS i9000

but the Bell model is not known as i9000, rather it is advertized as Samsung Vibrant, yet it is not the same Vibrant that is already in the forum, because the T-mobile Vibrant is different from the Bell Vibrant.... see what i'm getting at?

it would have made sense if bell kept it as i9000, rather than Vibrant
[About XDA developers] cmstlist:
Right, the radio band is different.

Now on some phones this makes no difference firmware-wise: You can load the same ROMs on an "AT&T" or "T-Mobile" Nexus One and it will work on whatever frequencies the phone has.

On others it does make a difference: Motorola Milestone firmwares are specific to either UMTS 850/1900/2100 or 900/2100. Installing the wrong firmware results in loss of 3G in non-2100 countries and degraded 2G performance too. There is a group of files one can copy from one ROM over top of another to force it back to the right bands.

Of course there is only one way to find out... someone needs to obtain a Bell Vibrant, try to root it with the same method, and make a full nandroid backup for safekeeping. Then load on a ROM or nandroid backup from an international Galaxy S. See if it still boots, if 3G still works, etc. I suppose there is a small risk of bricking too though ;)
[About XDA developers] AllGamer:
according to a couple of users that got hands on the device already, they were able to flash the unlocked i9000 firmwares into the Bell Vibrant (still locked)
[About XDA developers] Muhamadabdelaall:
Hi All,

I returned my "Captivate" especially to buy this phone & however neither "Bell" site nor "Samsung Canada" posted what are the frequency bands but it has the 3G 850 required for AT&T here. I suggest to stick with the international I-9000 Thread because After rooting we will have the same things in common with it.

Thanks
[About XDA developers] Muhamadabdelaall:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdhurst380:
OK, basically I OTA'd Vodafones latest ROM, the one containing all their branding, so I decided to bin it. I rooted my device using the unrevoked software, it installed Clockworkmod Recovery aswell.

I used the Goldcard tool to goldcard the supplied Sandisk SD, and it all showed to have worked.

I earlier followed a rooting tutorial not realising it was only for the 0.75 bootloader, placed the provided ROM on the sd card (it was called rootedupdate.zip), applied it through Clockwork Recovery, it said it was all successful (I had toggled signature checking to off because it didn't work with it on, I guess that was my stupid mistake), I then rebooted and the 'htc' splashscreen comes on, but won't load anything.

I tried a couple of RUU's from the official ROM thread, but they all threw up errors about my bootloader (which is 0.80). Oddly, they all still show my ROM version as the latest Vodafone .161.

I have today gone and purchased a new Kingston SD card (I've read practically everywhere that they are the best for goldcards), snag is, I can't do it through my device as it won't boot into the OS itself, and goldcard tool can't get the CID. Out of curiosity, I tried my Sandisk one and got the same issue (running it through an SD adapter plugged into my laptop).

I then tried applying a generic update to my Sandisk goldcard, ran it through clockwork but it says 'main version older/newer (can't remember which), update failed'. I got said ROM from shipped roms.

So here I am with a very expensive, pretty looking paperweight as it stands!

I still have full access the bootloader, recovery boots into Clockwork.

Help please!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repitah:
Had a nasty experience with the froyo OTA which half downloaded and somehow ran the update.

Long story short, I used my gold carded sd to put the original 1.21 full RUU update back on the phone by adapting the openruu linux script to work with the windows tools provided in the R6 alt rooting rom (see rooting guide stickied in the dev forum). Got the ROM zip file from the HTC ruu exe (search in %temp% for the zip when running the exe). Google cid sd, there must be a way to extract the cid of the new card (I remember exploring that option during the ensuing panic)

Biggest trick in the ordeal was not to panic, get adb to see the phone and to run the converted openruu script. Powered on while holding vol down and think the winning option was fastboot (not sure. Happened a few days ago). Flashed the phone with 1.21 ww & made sure it was happy. So far so good.

Sorry if this isn't much help. This is my first "smart" phone.

Edit: My phone was debranded the night I bought it from Orange France. If anybody knows how to remove the defaulting to French after a complete ROM reload (before the setup shows the language option), I'd love to know :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdhurst380:
Okay, I've tried installing a couple of different ROM's from the SD, and all it does is say "couldn't open [romname]" (bad).

What process are you following when you try the roms?

I've sorted it, turns out Chrome was corrupting the files as they downloaded, in some cases leaving them missing. Used Firefox and not a problem, now happily plodding along with Froyo :D

My fiancee just got an X10 Mini Pro yesterday and is very happy with it so far.

She's been trying to set up her email on it - and its through a local company.

I have the same email on my HD2 and it works fine - but I need to use their SMTP settings for recieving mail, and O2's POP3 settings for sending mail.

The problem is that the X10 Mini Pro doesn't seem to have the option of setting user names / passwords in the POP3 and SMTP settings?

Any ideas of how to fix this? Ideally within the standard email client, but I guess an aftermarket client could work also?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
It would be used in a situation where you're using a phone that your carrier does not recognize and hence they scale down all your pic messages to tiny thumbnail size cause they don't think you're using a capable device. So you spoof the phone so they think you ARE using a capable device, and get normal size pic messages. That's about it really.

I've finally had it with my Tilt2 bluetooth issues and am going to drop AT&T and pick up Sprint so I can have the EVO. I've read through both the Q&A section as well as the Themes & Apps section ... not entirely, mind you; just scanned. Anyway, I'm seeing a bunch of themes and widgets that are really cool. Is adding them an easy thing to do ... or does it require a little more labor of love (rooting, flashing a new rom, etc. --- all of which I know nothing about)?

Much thanks in advance and apologies if this has already been covered and I just didn't come across the thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nief1313:
pretty simple

You just need to do it in this order

ROOT(lots of simple guides)

Flash ROM (most ROMs comes with intructions on how to flash and load wimax and radio)

Custom Kernel (optional but allows you to over/underclock)

Theme(Flash just like the ROM)

Install custom widgets, backgrounds, bootscreens, ect

I am so not literate enough to know what I do or don't like about the stock EVO ROM yet to even ponder flashing a new/different ROM ... hell, I don't even have the phone yet (hopefully going to pick it up tonight) .. lol.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00fette:
I didn't think the 2.2 that was out was the "official" one issued from HTC ... rather the pre-released version so people, like the ones here on xda, could test and tweek it before it got released to the general user population. Does that make sense?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprink0281:
it was released on Monday ota.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlrdxrevengex:
yep 2.2 is out and yahoo will work but its not a default install on android since google is android. before you get rid of your old phone see if you can download google sync and sync your phone with a gmail account and then when you get your new phone you will sign in with the gmail and bam your contacts will be there.

Yes android phones during setup require you to have a gmail account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Well, technically Sense phone's don't require a Google account, though you will need it to use the Market. Definitely recommend importing your contacts and calendars to Google and using it as your default, as its more integrated with Android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00fette:
Ugh, converting contacts from Yahoo to Google sucked, only about 1/4 of the contacts actually came over and of those that did they were missing info. It was a lot less painful, and everything came over into Google (notes, addresses, etc.), by saving my contacts from my phone as a csv via AT&T Mobile Contacts and then importing the csv into Google. It was worth the $1.99 I'll get charged from AT&T just so I wouldn't have to retype all 200 contacts info! Not sure if I'm going to keep my gmail account once I get my contacts loaded back onto the EVO ... have had my yahoo account for so long, it could be a pain to convert everyone over to a new email addy.

I'll hopefully be picking up my new EVO tomorrow morning, stopped on my way home from work and they were sold out ..... was told to come back first thing tomorrow morning so that's what I'm gonna do -- it is convenient that I have off work tomorrow .. lol.

Can't wait to play with the EVO!!!!

Didn't see this mentioned already.....unless I overlooked it.

The 1st thing the Sprint rep will do is update it. If you plan on rooting. DON"T LET THEM!!!! Tell them before they open the box that you don't want it updated. The second you install 2.2, your rooting plans are on hold....till they figure out how to root 2.2. You can install a rooted version of 2.2 after you root it.
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
hi guys, this is my first post, and i am haveing some issues with my tmobile usa htc hd2, first off, i just got the phone in the mail this morning, so all i know about it is what i have gathered from the internet (not that much)... so, i am haveing trouble putting movies on it. i have a bunch of mp4 movies that i use on my ipod, but the only way i have gotten one on my hd2 is to put it on the phone memory, which means one movie takes up almost all the space, so that just wont work, and i need to know how to put them on the memory card.

also, id like to know how to install co0kies home tab, i have downloaded everything i need for it, but i dont know how to get it on my hd2.

any help on either topic would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
connect to usb, when usb to pc connection popup comes up choose active sync, then go to my computer (on pc) you will see a new device called something like 'pbleonidus's hd2', click to open that, you will see tw3o devices, one called \ and one called storage card.

Open the storage card one, and drag your files there.

Same for installing apps, drag the .cab file to the phone and then on the phone, browse to the file and click to run it.

Alternatively, when the usb to pc connection popup comes up choose disk drive, and teh storage card (and only the storage card, you cannot see teh phones internal file system unless you choose active sync as above) will show up as a removeable drive in my computer
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Download ActiveSync 4.5 (xp) or Windows Mobile Device Center (vista and above) from microsoft. It's a much better way to browse your phones File directories, including the 16gig storage card, in my opinion.

This would also solve your second question regarding the CHT cab file. Drop it in whatever directory you want on your phone, (via activesync) then use the phones File Explorer to find that location, and execute.
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
ok, so for CHT, i just drag the cab file to the sd card file? do i put it in any folder, or just into the main sd card folder?

also, same thing with the videos, can i just put them anywhere on the the sd card or does it have to be in videos?
