Normally, people are using Windows and get used to think that the system need free ram when they run new program and in order to keep their system runninh smoothly. So they think the same way when using any other operating system, that's included me.

And after reading all post in this thread, I'm starting to get confused: It is good with or without the task manager? Well, I uninstalled it for now to see if it's better than before or what. But firstly, I feel not comfortable seeing some programs that I don't like are running without doing anything to stop it! I think I might need the task manager in some cases like now.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] csoonp:
So it is better not to use atk?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
There is no way your phone will reboot itself due to insufficient RAM.. Android manages it very nicely and if you notice your RAM will never go down below 30 MB no matter how many apps you are running in the background. I am currently running 37 applications without rebooting my phone. So that is/was not the reason for your phone rebooting itself. It might have caused due to some poorly coded apps and killing it might have solved the problem.

Now do not use task manager/killer. Android does that pretty nicely. And idle/cached apps take very little and almost negligible processing power.
[Android Themes] RonnyT24:
alright i have been trying to make this but my paint/shop skills are horrid. Anyways this is the concept.

1. Black background

2. Big close up of android guys face top half with his tentacles. You can barely make him out because its so dark. The only thing making light is his left eye. Which is the new droid eye. Its illuminating his face with tints of green.

3. At the top of the picture either in black or red it says "DOES" or something of the sort.

If possible i would want this for my phone and desktop lol. 1080. I know im being picky lol but i can see this in my head and i want it. But as said above im terrible. Im copyrighting this idea right now heh. Someone help pleaseeeee.
[Android Themes] Ryjabo:
Can you clarify a bit about the first part of number two?
[Android Themes] RonnyT24:
Yeah. I want it to be like android is in a all dark place and the Droid eye (the red eye) is illuminating his face. But you can still barely make him out. But you can see the eye fully like it's glowing. And at the top in android logo font it says DOES. As in Droid does. Hope this clears it up. Thanks for the question.
[Android Themes] RonnyT24:
bump for more help pleaseeee
[Android Themes] JimJam707:
I'll give it a go. What phone do you have?
[Android Themes] stoobs:
I'd be willing to give this a go as well. What is your screen size/phone? Also I think that if you're going to use the droid eye, maybe the android would be a reddish color. Green and red won't look that well together unless the green is almost non-existent(outline).
[Android Themes] smjfosho:
I think ill take a whack at this as well :)
[Android Themes] JimJam707:
I smell a contest.
[Android Themes] smjfosho:

hows this look?
[Android Themes] pman219:
Thought I'd give it a quick shot.

It's monday.

Don't feel like working anyway....
[Android Themes] RonnyT24:
I agree! very nice job guys. Im currently using this one also.

Btw my phone is a HTC HD2 with android 2.2 loaded. Thanks for the background wouldnt mind seeing some more variations too if anyone else is interested.
[Android Themes] looby:
Droid wallpaper..

Thanks, here is another take...:)
[Android Themes] SLX69:
Great job, thanks! :D
[Android Themes] RonnyT24:
wow seriously. Very very nice wall. Im definately using that one now! More more more keep um coming heh.
[Android Themes] Hatefly:
lol, that's pretty good man.

I think it would be better without the words though. Just me. :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] rsoares8:
Would it be too much, to ask this for a legend?, where the words and the droid, are centered on the middle screen and black, fading green to others? :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] 3vilhomer:
Is there any free torrent app I can use in Android and it download stuff to the phone??
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] fit333:
dls strait to phone. "current release" app on market for a fee.

install and open .torrent files with it.

good luck

(ps. hope im not breaking any rules!?)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sync3:
hmm..

not to sure if breaking rules..but i believe abtc is paid software...so then what u posted is warez and will be mod removed...I used to use lots of warez..but then as i got into developing...people need to get paid for their services...Cheers
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] egzthunder1:
If it needs to be purchased, then yes you are breaking rules.

App removed.

[XPERIA X10 General] Bikram:
Hi to all Canadian users

Samsung Galaxy S series phone is coming to Canada very soon. Almost all the carriers has one. I am with rogers and they are getting the captivate.

I am really really tired of waiting for 2.1 /2.2 or just getting all the bugs fixed. There is no 65K screen, no multi touch (please don't start arguing that there is no use of MT, there are other forums for that). I don't even know how many other stuffs I should be complaining about....someone cares to fill them!

So yeah I am jumping the ship when Captivate comes to Rogers. Anyone else wanna join??
[XPERIA X10 General] htc fan89:
I personally think the samsung captivate lacks in style, and It's samsung you wouldn't get great support either. I ready stick with S.E design is much better.

Why did you buy x10 if you knew it had 1.6 firmware...
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Its your choice my friend just look in the Samsung Galaxy S forum before you decide to buy it. Apparently there is a lot of people unhappy with it, problems like overheating, sluggish performance, burn ins on the screen, fast battery drain, bad build quality (cheap plastic) and lots of other things. I am also in Canada and looked at it as an option but i came to the conclusion that it wont be better than the x10 or at least not worth the switch. The fact that its a Samsung phone puts me away also, oh and no flash or light for the camera? wtf. Anyway make sure you read all the problems that people have with it before you buy it so that you know what you re getting into.
[XPERIA X10 General] jasonvw:
Yah im looking into the vibrant myself. Then again im also thinking about the n900 still. Going to check a bell store tomorrow to try out the vibrant. The screen looks amazing in all the reviews ive seen. Really gotta check it out.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Not a bad phone but i would say, wait a few weeks and after the launch take the decision.
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
It does some things better than the X10 (faster, multitouch, froyo), it does some things worse (no LED flash, IMO worse screen, worse build quality, poor support).

Just make sure you know the phone before you buy it. You probably won't regret it, but it's not any significant improvement (aside from OS)...
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Look, if someone with a Desire or a Galaxy S wants to do a straight trade, then I am sold, but I am not going to go through the hassle of selling my X10, then forking over an extra $250 to get either one of those.

At that rate, I'd rather have the iPhone 4 (no reception issues with any that I've tested in Vancouver). ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
I would hop on the train as well, but I do not like the physical built of the captivate... If it was the i9000 or vibrant, I would have switched. I'm a sucker for Super AMOLED, I rarely use my phone outside, I always use it inside.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
i would stick with x10 . i played with galaxy s today at bell . its a nice phone but the built quality is really bad and worse technical support and no flash . x10 is getting 2.1 end of month or early september so its not long of a wait. and iphone 4 is out of the question with consumer report rated it *dont buy it* u cant do much with it even u jailbreak it there there is alot of restrictions n stuff u cant do and android os u can customize the sh**t of out it . i did a test on iphone 4 and my x10 and x10 loads quicker and faster . even i was soo frustrated about to sell it. but u cant sell it for much so id rather keep it . the only phone i would get other then x10 would be desire . which is coming to telus august 6th :)
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
I would probably stay out of it.Checking out the forums. It drops a lot of calls and has some major GPS and lag issues. Of course, if you want to go by numbers you should go for the Captivate given it has a higher version of the OS installed. I have used the i9000 though and except for the screen, which is gorgeous, there isnt much there.oh and touchwiz looks like it has been ported from a funskool toy.
[XPERIA X10 General] Running_Roti:
i had a samsung pixon12, build quality was cheap, and that phone stopped working after a month even after it was brand new, samsung didnt help me at all and i had to pay extra money from the store i bought it from in order to get it repaired. after that i never went back to samsung and i dont think i will.

the x10 is nice but u are right it does have its share of problems. if ur gonna switch u might as well make a proper upgrade and go for the EVO 4G or the soon to come out Dell Streak (5 inch screen!!/1ghz processor [ also runs 1.6 but soon to get an update supposedly])

anyways im gonna stick with my x10 for now until i can get a good price on the dell streak becuase i use my phone a lot for entertainment due to commuting to university, so a 5 inch screen would do me a lot of good :-)

i dont reccomend samsung. HTC is fantastic though ive used the TOUCH HD/touch pro 2/HD2 and was very happy with them. but hated windows mobile. dont know about dell but if i make the switch ill come back here and let u guys know how that worked out lol

hope it helps u figure out where u wanna head.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Well, this is a thread about Canadian users, so the Evo 4G is out of the question, and the iPhone 4's "reception issue" is not a problem here, at least in Vancouver.

Also, as much as the Streak intrigues me, it is basically the same hardware and software as the X10 (1.6 but without lovely Rachel), and I'm not sure it has a TRUE multi-touch panel like the Droid Incredible either.

I've yet to play with the Galaxy S, but if it is as terribly built as some of you say, then the only other viable option is the Desire, which is put together like a tank and has LED flash. Its design is pedestrian, but the thing is SOLID.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Still tho the desire is not an improve ment over the x10. Think about it smaller screen, ****ter camera, ugly at front of x10 and screen issues like pink tint, burn ins and broken dualtouch, only thing better at the moment is software and a little more ram. I dont know why people think this way, you probably dont have your x10 set up right so that you think this way, I will probably make a video of mine and show everyone how fast,smooth and beautiful it runs :) I just have a feeling some people dont know how to use adw right and make the best out of their phone. I mean if your ready to switch your x10 for a desire there must be somthing wrong, In matter of fact there is a lot of people here that have switched from desire to x10 ask them why they switched.

[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
Those screen issues affect the SLCD model? I wasn't aware of that.

Just because the screen is smaller, it doesn't make it worse since the resolutions are nearly identical.

I like the Desire because of its very solid build (have you held one?), extra RAM, and best of all, latest Android builds with HTC Sense.

That being said, the Desire is far more expensive if purchased from unauthorized dealers.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Most likely not the one with the SLCD but still explain how is it an improvement over the x10. Just the little more ram? Or the software that we will have soon?
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
I still wondering why people that would like to switch from X10 to another phone, post their suffer of having X10 here. You want change then go change, no need for second opinion from us.

I buy X10 knowing its Android 1.6, know that update will takes months to come. But i buy because i like Timescape and Mediascape, which is the main selling point to X10.

At my office, i have a lot of android phone for development test phone, i have HTC Dream, LG GW 620, Nexus One, Motorola DEXT/CLIQ, Samsung Galaxy Spica and my Sony Ericsson X10. I can say some of strong point of X10 compared to the other android in list.

Prebuilt media player is nice, compared to Nexus One basic player

The phonebook looks very nice, i like the full hi-res photo in the phonebook Timescape, plus seeing the photo when some one calling or we make call

Watching video while riding public transport in 16 : 9 screen resolution, without letterbox (most of movie i watched in phone is in HD ratio)

It comes with WMV, WMA playing capability

Timecape make me easier to read multiple one or two line SMS from my friends

Slick design of web-browser compared to other phone basic browser

Great product support (except for the firmware updates) from SE, like the PlayNow, i buy some songs with it, and also TrackID.

Stuff that is missing, but can still live without it

No multiple Gmail account can be set in the phone Gmail app (love the threaded view of gmail

Picasa and Facebook photo is not cache in the phone, have to download them everytime you want to see (this decision is made, because if the all photos is prefetched, people living in country with expensive GPRS will get mad, i know because i working in mobile sector)

No multitouch, but this i can live nicely without it

No Facebook and Phonebook photo autosync like Nexus One

So that is some of my opinion of why i choose X10, i guess some of us would think the same.

One think that i bit disappointed with X10 is that first when their haven't release, i though there will be a front facing camera, a lot of website says will have one. Which turnout to be Light Sensor or Proximity Sensor. hahaha.

But can live without it anyway, even though i like making 3g video call with my GF.
[XPERIA X10 General] jasonvw:
Got a chance to play with Bells Vibrant. Its nice. Its really nice actually. The screen is amazing. Its easily better than the x10's. Its very light. Didnt feel cheap to me, just insanely light. I guess to some that means cheap. The ui is too iphone like to me. But I guess we can always change that. I like the front facing camera on it, we all know this will start being used now that apple has told everyone they should use it. Also like the tvout function. Im definetely tempted to get it.
[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
Mind telling me how you set up your adw? Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
The Captivate is a nice phone, the best of the Galaxy S versions, it steals its looks from the X10 I would say, but I would never give up the X10's screen and camera. AMOLED? No thanks, HTC is finally abandoning those screens. Plus we're getting 2.1 the next month at the latest, and from what I know we can expect further upgrades fairly soon after.

As an aside I don't use the built in Gmail app, I find the web version is much better, is the Gmail app on 2.1 better then the one in 1.6?
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
It's in the software, man :D I like HTC Sense. Rachel is nice, but not with 1.6. The Desire should get 2.2 by the time that we get 2.1. Bear in mind, I have no "desire" to sell my X10 for a Desire, but I do admire its build. It feels REALLY solid.
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
Serously, i am sick of all these "let's jump ship to another phone" For one, you guys are using ancient technology already. At least the canadians are.

If i am going to wait, i will wait 5 months and get the sharp 3D phone and watch you cry because you pay the same amount for an ancient technology.

Beside, 8 mp vs a 5 mp camera ? Canadian love to moon walk or something? They sure do enjoy walking backward.

Anyway, comparing to the japanese, the North Americans are using ancient technology. Their phone are really high end.

One super thing that set x10 from all its competitor is that, under the bright sun. YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE YOUR PHONE!.

Should be a bliss for canadians since our weather doesn't consist too many rain days (not in vancouver), i actually enjoy watching a movie under the sun while my friend can't even tell what is he doing with his nexus one.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bikram:
I won't be able to see with super AMOLED, under the sun?? I have a really good camera really don't need 8MP, 5MP is good enough.

Are you Canadian or you just added the last sentence to sound like one?

Anyway back to the topic, went to Rogers store today and saw the x10 mini and Iphone4. OMG the screen is SO clear!!!!!! X10 comes no where near that brightness of clarity. X10 mini is really cute though. I might buy my mom one of those.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
You dont know wtf you talking about. "brightness of clarity" i dont know what people are talking about in this forum seriously i need to show you my x10, i had it next to an iphone 4 and the only difference i could make out was a little better colors.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
I will make a video in a few days and will post in on youtube and will make a thread about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
And lets not forget that the X10 Mini has a much smaller screen with much lower resolution. It's like comparing a 42" HDTV with a 30" SDTV, there's just no comparison.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ballfuzz:
I don't get why everyone rags on the X10 so much. Software upgrades are coming, it's a quick phone to begin with, with great specs, etcetc.

In the end, it's just a telephone. It's made to call people and it does that well. (never had a problem with in call volume)
[XPERIA X10 General] Ballfuzz:
lol, wat!?

You watch movies under the sun on your phone while your friend struggles to do the same on his nexus one?

lol
[XPERIA X10 General] instigator008:
No its not. People expect far more from their devices now. And so they should.

I, for one, rarely use it as a phone. Text and email are far more convenient.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
While a few years ago, that would have been acceptable, now people are dishing out huge sums of money for their phones, and they have a right to expect a certain amount of added features and functionality
[XPERIA X10 General] Bikram:
Sorry I meant to write brightness OR clarity, my bad.
[XPERIA X10 General] NotBillable:
would love to get my hands on the galaxy but the fact that i bought the x10 a few months ago, Im probably going to have to wait for the galaxy price to drop to maybe $350?? Or am I dreaming?
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
The thing with the Galaxy phones is pretty much every carrier in the world has them and consequently millions of people have them so I see no reason why the price wouldn't fall that low, especially for a used one in a few months. But by the time that comes around there will be much better devices with insane specs compared to what we can buy today, and the hype over the screen will have died off completely. I don't know why you'd buy a Galaxy for an X10 other than the screen, especially in a few months time when they'll both be running custom ROMS anyways. Not to mention millions will own a Galaxy which looks very much like an iPhone (ie ugly and generic) that's one reason why I like my X10 it's unique and quite a stunning design.
[XPERIA X10 General] jasonvw:
I think youll see used ones for 350 in a matter of months. Very few phones have good resale value. The few i know are the iphone, nexus one especially since they stopped selling it, the n900.
[XPERIA X10 General] jasonvw:
Reasons to get a galaxy vibrant:

The screen. Its quite amazing

Its very light, some people like that.

Front facing camera.

Multitouch

Tvout

Its faster

Has more memory

Reasons not to:

$500 is still a lot of money

X10 camera is better though for video it looks like the sammy does more fps

May have issues with gps

May not have as good reception or audio quality as the x10

They ruined androids ui with an iclone interface

The x10 looks far better

The x10 is built like a tank. It just feels very solid. The sammy being so light makes it feel cheap to some people.

It really is a tough call. I really do like tvout and multitouch as well as the screen. And since im looking at changing providers i might pick it up.
[HD2 General] larrytango:
Honestly don't know if anyone has ever had this problem but it has happened a couple times for me and searching Google i noticed a couple people had similar issues and i couldn't find a solution

Problem:

Attempting to sync MyPhone get an Authentication Failure (Either your windows live id or password is incorrect. click back to try again)

2) access folder My Device\Application Data\Microsoft\My Phone

3) delete contents

4) restart application

seems to work for me thought i would share :)

I bought another HTC HD2 from Vodafone and when attempting to install

a new ROM, this made the whole process up to 99% and stayed there, when I take the battery and restart the cell, it on the screen shows me this: "Upgrade Failed Tray Again" and this process deleted the original ROM. Now the screen remains in that state and not to do. Please if you could help me I would be very grateful. This is the second HTC HD2 that is hurting me.

edwinc60:
[HD2 General] otacon:
1) Did you install HSPL first? You can't flash most ROM's here without HSPL. You can still save your phone by entering into bootloader mode and installing the HSPL.

2) Try flashing ROM from SD Card. Read the forums on how to do this.

Please, read the instructions from each ROM thoroughly before flashing a ROM. No spoon-feeding here.
[HD2 General] edwinc60:
Thank you for you promp answer but I followed all procedures frome here my problem was than my ROM was from vodafone and i thinked than she was LEO WWE.
