I just got the Sony Ericsson MW600 and it works really well. The nice thing about it is that I can use any wired earphones with it. It also includes an FM radio tuner.
[Nexus One Accessories] the orange bandit:
I've been using the Plantronics 903 BackBeat for about a week now and they're awesome.

I also have the Bose in-ear headphones and was pleased to find that the earpieces on the BackBeat are the same exact style as the Bose (but they're not interchangeable).

The BackBeat is nice and loud, and all the buttons work, as well. One thing that I really like is that you can press the main button on the right earpiece to pause your music and use the built-in microphone to pipe in sound from around you. This way, you don't have to remove the headset to hear things around you. I wear them in an office setting so this feature is really important and works awesome.

As you already know from the Bose, these eargels do a killer job of keeping your music in and other sounds out - I can listen to my music at whatever volume without disturbing others nearby, even in the elevator.

Battery life is decent - I make it through a full workday with no issues, and they charge via microUSB (not proprietary) so I can easily charge them off my laptop if necessary.

Not sure what specifics you're looking for, but I'd highly recommend the BackBeat.
[Nexus One Accessories] disgustip8ted:
thanks for the input guys

as far as the input sensitivity i was thinking about the ohms and decibal values that the headphones can push and what frequencies the phones are rated on producing

a friend at the office has the 903 backbeat and he was going to let me try them, i work in an office environment as well and think they might work, just need to hear them first. The only worry I have is I also want to take them to the gym with me and worry about that loopy in the back bouncing too much, which is why im also looking at the s9-hd headset but have no one to reference to try them out.

Fancy Widgets. I have the version before they got the C&D from HTC.

PS: you don't have $.99? LOL Most apps are so cheap. Look for spare change, load it on a pre-paid Visa. You're good to go.
[Android Apps and Games] kkevin94:
this. dude come on, or when you buy stuff, keep whatever change you get and keep it in an envelope titled "For Apps", borrow a friends visa, and pay them back for it.
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
Question.

You are paying for a smart phone correct?

Nuff said. You pay because nothing is really free, and

it supports the devs. I have no money (but) I donate if the app

is provided free and I use it and if you don't have money for apps

that's fine. Quality work should be paid for plain and simple

and you should learn to budget accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] nikiiv:
The market is not available in every country you know..

I have no problem paying for apps, most of them are cheap, but the market does not offer paid apps to my country..
[Android Apps and Games] BlueScreenJunky:
This.

You guys need to realise that not everyone lives in your country, and even those who live in a country where paid apps are available (like me) don't always have a credit card which works with Google Checkout.

So untill you can buy apps on the market with paypal or directly on your phone bill, many people are just unable to use any paid apps, no matter how cheap they are.
[Android Apps and Games] creutzwald1105:
Hi from Germany,

this is the same problem that Sony had with their PSN before they inroduced the PSN card (prepaid card like Itunes). In Germany only 27% have a credit card and I would not get a credit card to buy an app for .99€.

My favourite pay methode is prepaid so I cannot spend hundred of euros in apps/music ^^

My free suggestion that is currently avalible in the market place is Weather Forecast&Clock Widget

[Android Apps and Games] player911:
Sweet. Great app. Looks great. I just downloaded this and the HTC Desire Live Wallpaper and its looking good.
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
Not This.

If an app you are looking for isn't available via the market, but is *free*

the app (more than likely) is available via their website, or some other medium.

You can still donate almost anywhere in the world.

The way the market works is just like in real life.

if you don't like, want or use the app you paid for you get a refund plain and simple. -Just like a free app that asks politely for a donation if you enjoy the work (if the developers asks for it) I don't donate if the free app isn't going to be used/kept.

The OP was looking for an app that was told to C&D.

Not the *norm* I'd think.
[Android Apps and Games] celticchrys:
How do you come to that conclusion form what the OP actually posted? They just asked for free widgets like Beautiful Widgets, not for any specific widget.

I thought this might be an interesting thread since it's quite a long hard slog through the market looking for widgets, even if you use a site like Androlib to make it easier.

Hi, I have just installed the new Android (Desire version) on my HD2. It boots and functions okay but keeps randomly freezing all the time. Most frequently when I am trying to make calls. I have windows Energy Lite ROM with Radio 2.12 installed.

The screen just freezes every 5 minutes or so and I have to take the battery out to rese.

Anyone know how to solve this?

[Desire General] abc27:
Someone I know has gotten their Desire USB bricked. Normally that's a non-issue but there's a few erm... complications.

Here's how it occurred, they have an O2 branded Desire but somehow they managed to get the Android 2.2 update (No one else with an O2 Desire got it btw). As you'd imagine it caused quite a few issues, it apparently got to 80% then restarted went to 33% and then restarted. Now it's USB bricked.

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 has no effect meaning we can't SD card access

The current ROM has a Froyo version number and is very very unstable. It crashes after about 2 minutes and then reboots.

It's HBOOT 0.80 at the moment (Despite the OTA 2.2 update being HBOOT 0.92???) and using the HBOOT 0.80 rooting package I cannot get Step 1 to successfully execute. It gives error 41: remote id failure.
[Desire General] chessmaster82:
How to get back to older ROM after FROYO update messed everything up

Same issue here. I have an orange branded htc desire which I debranded, then updated to 2.2 Froyo without a goldcard and now have a bricked phone. No access to SD, Wifi, GSM, Force closes all the time, and reboots every couple of minutes in a loop.

Running update in recovery mode doesnt work, neither does running Stock RUU files on different versions with goldcard in phone.

Hboot is 0.80, 2.2 showing as installed. Unsure what to do next really, any suggestions would be great, there must be loads of people who have this issue now...

I had the same issue. Virgin UK phone. Used a zip version of the OTA Froyo and got stuck with it looping.

To fix it I created a new goldcard in my girlfriend's phone and used the same zip file on the goldcard to flash from the bootloader.

My phone has not been rooted.

Hope that helps and good luck.
[Desire General] chessmaster82:
I thought Goldcards could only be created in the phone you plan on using it in? I can still manage to create a goldcard using my phone, so maybe I have a different issue.

PS where did you get the OTA Froyo update?
[Desire General] xtcislove:
Why u dont try?

http://www.unrevoked.com/#desire

This installs a custom Recovery but i think u need a Sdcard.

If yes call the devs for help if they could patch it that it runs with DataPartition or something else. If u have Hboot 0.80 Unrevoked works! 100%
[Desire General] kurtish:
Mines the same.....unfortunately I don't have access to another Desire, and none of the so called fixes work......I'm on Orange and this update has well and truly shafted my phone,now I have the most expensive brick in the house.....get in!
[Desire General] kurtish:
The problem you have is your sd card is not recognized so unrevoked doesnt work and neither does 'enabling' your sd card via adb devices....its all crap :(
[Desire General] pjfriend:
I created my goldcard in an HTC Tattoo which worked like a charm. I used the sticky post at the very top of the development section for instructions. Once done I copied http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip to the SD card and renamed it to update.zip. make sure windows doesn't change it to update.zip.zip

I then installed it from the bootloader.
[Desire General] abc27:
So all I really need to do is create a goldcard and it should work for him?

I'll tell him to give that a shot. It would be impossible to create a gold card with a proper CID though because as we all know ADB doesn't work with USB bricks.
[Desire General] pjfriend:
I used this http://www.roothtchero.co.uk/goldcard-2

There's a tool to create a goldcard linked in the guide. Made it very easy. I'm really no expert but I think the cid isn't dependant on the phone, just the card. I couldn't get it to work in a card reader but was very straight forward when it was connected to the pc through my girlfriend's Tattoo. Didn't cause any problems with me using 64 bit windows 7 either.

Hello my friend thanks for your help i re-downloaded the unlock and i have same problem.

Just when it says ( disconnect and reconnect ) i think i do it in wrong way can you please Explain it to me how and where to do that, thank you again.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
You literally need to unplug the phone and then plug it back in... there is nothing special about that step :)

I would suggest that you read the whole guide first and try to make some sense out of it before proceeding as you may end up bricking your device otherwise.
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
So I hate my Hero, A, because it is slow, and B, because it is stuck on 2.1 forever. So I have been looking at the Evo and the Epic, and the other related phones, and here is my question, what is the support going to be like? I know that every time a new phone comes out, the manufacturers seem to forget about the old ones, and for no technical reason, the MyTouch 3G is getting Froyo after all. So one of the things I am looking at with my next phone is that it will be supported for the full two years, the Hero only made it 6 months, so I know that seems like a lot, but I honestly don't think it is too much to ask. If you sell a phone with a 2 year contract, you should support it for at least 2 years, as long as technically possible. So without a vanilla Android phone available on Sprint, which of the two phones do you guys think will be supported with updates longer? I have seen that sources close to Google said the Galaxy S phones will be upgraded to 3.0, but they didn't mention the EVO, even though it meets the spec requirements. Would it be waiting until the end of the year for whatever comes then? Or is just that buying me until December of next year instead of August? Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
No phone will ever be supported for 2 years...some countries even have 3 year contracts as standards...The contract is unrelated to the phone you buy...

The manufacturer warranty is 1 year for all of them...past that you can't really expect them to issue updates for it...that is why we have a community...

You have to remember that the manufacturer is not earning money off your contract, only from the sale and if they have their apps in there, those as well...

The one who is forcing you into the contracts are the carriers...no matter how much you may think the US is a free open country..it is not...out of all the countries we have the most locking of phones and other things...

You are not forced to sign a new contract..you can always pay the full price of the phone up front..the contract just gives you a discount...
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
Ok, while I will admit all that you said is true, my example is the iPhone. Apple puts out a phone, and continues issuing updates for it, even you you are probably out of your 3G contract now, you can still upgrade to OS 4.0, you won't get all of the features, and it is debatable whether you should have those features, but at least you get part of the update. I don't understand why that can't happen on Android. Even the MyTouch 3G will have had support for over a year. The Hero on the other hand, got its first and only upgrade after about 6 months. Why can't we have some arrangement like that with a non-Google phone? I mean, just give me a full year of updates and I will be happy, if those updates are reasonably prompt, as with the EVO and Froyo. Will that continue with the EVO, or the Galaxy S when we move to Gingerbread?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well iPhone is different..Apple actually gets paid a portion of your contract...not to mention all app revenue goes to them as well...

But in case of the Hero..it kinda came at a bad time...it was the point where the device specs skyrocketed and Android was moving fast in development..not to mention the Hero was already an out dated phone before it even came out..US was just slow at getting devices on the shelves...recently it seemed to have picked up..before it used to be 6 month - a year before it got in US shelves but was already all over the world...nowadays we get them 1-3 month or so...

Once 3.0 hits Android also slow down a bit in their release cycle...

Most likely you will get 1 year support around these days..and afterwards it will be community support for life ;)...
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
Maybe I am slightly bitter, especially that the poor Hero support came after my first HTC phone, the Touch Pro, broke on 4 separate occasions, the first two were within 30 days, so Sprint replaced it, but the 3rd time it took 3 weeks to send to HTC and get it back, after a maze of tech support calls. Then I upgrade to the Hero, and don't get supported.

But what you are saying all makes sense, so I hope either way we get more updates, even if they have to be delivered by the Dev community.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
My Hero has 2.2....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_vAbsx0spM
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
He means from HTC/Sprint official upgrade..not community stuff..
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
So does mine, thanks to Darchstar and all of his fellow developers. And I can't thank them enough for that, because if it weren't for them, I would have thrown this phone out of my car at high speed off a cliff long ago. But it shouldn't be up to developers to support a year old phone. Especially when it is obviously capable of running newer firmware. And because they don't officially support it, these 2.2 ROMs will never be as good as ones with the official HTC base.

Correct, I just think it is the right thing to do when you sell a phone. Support it for two years. Sprint pays HTC for the phone, and we pay Sprint for the phone and service, so it just makes sense that they Sprint should make sure their customers are supported for at least the two year contract whenever technically possible.
[Epic 4G General] kgold708:
One year of support

might

be feasable. Htc doesn't want to waste resources supporting old hardware, sprint doesn't want you to reach end of contract. This is why they give upgrade pricing after one year in exchange for 2yr contract agreement. Android platform + this communit have given me the ability to keep a phone for 2yrs with minimal discomfort.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
Wait a second... Why the heck would you EVER have to send the phone in to HTC? If it's under warranty, Sprint repair stores handle it for you. If there's no repair stores near you, care cross-ships you out a new (or refurb) phone. You shouldn't have to be without a phone for more than a day, max.
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
Because it was about 6 months after we bought it, and it we don't buy the warranties. So we called Sprint, and they told us that the only thing they would do is sell us a new phone for full retail, and specifically asked about a loaner or something, and they said that was only for people with warranties. They said the only thing we could do is send it to HTC, so that is what we had to do.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
As a rebuttal, you can put 2.2 on a hero, and have everything work. I'm doing that now to get used to not having sense. Sure it doesn't top the charts and 3d games suck on it, but there are plenty 2d games on the market that work fine, you can watch movies that look and sound fine on it if you take the time to convert them properly. Plus, I haven't had any issues with lag, especially with the keyboard. The stock android one us much better than htc's ime.apk in that aspect. And it probably has to do with the haptic feedback. I typed this on my phone and it doesn't feel like a chore.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Thats not what the OP is talking about...he has Hero running 2.2 as well..if you read he says manufacturer support..NOT community support...
[Epic 4G General] USAF22:
Thanks again gTen, and rufflez, I have already said how much I love the devs here and on other forums, and all the work they put into the platform, but the operating system is always the best when based on official kernels and and drivers. And it shouldn't be up to the community to support the devices after such a short time. They should improve on work done by the manufacturer, but they shouldn't be solely responsible for the device's advancements.

Well, last night my x10 was connected to wireless fine.

I got up this morning went to work as usual, got in tonight and find that it now won't connect to it.

It gets stuck on obtaining IP address, then says unsuccessful and then repeats.

I can't say if it was doing the same thing this morning, before I left, because I don't remember, I was sleepy.

Any ideas? I have tried to search the forums but found nothing for the X10 specifically.

And this is a weird problem as it happened out of nowhere.

I have no other wifi network to try to connect to.

I have tried to change the password on the router.

I am going to change its name now to see if that will help.

OK, so I just changed the name of my router again, this time I changed it to a short word (stupid) and it connected perfrectly.

I will let you know if the wireless still works after I have been to work today.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] drew37:
Hi,

Hope someone can help.

Had TP2 for 11 months. It died and HTC replaced the entire main board.

It came back with WM 6.5 and HTC 'SENSE' 2.5.20121225.

The phone in un-branded, O2 network.

I have been searching on here for couple of hours for a ROM thread etc relative to mine???

The main things i would like help on are.

1. The default weather program. It sucks. The old one on touch flow 3d was accu weather and that could be hacked. I think this one uses google location???

When my phone was first switched on it used googlew location to pick my location up and set the weather to perth, perthshire...correct. Then about an hour later it changed to 'Torbay'...WTF???. I cannot seem to reset the weather location to Perth, UK...when u go to add a city...guess what...my location isnt listed?

Does anyone know anything about the weather on Sense ?

2. On 6.1 i changed the colums to 4 wide and added the 64 program locations(tweaks from here)

Is there a cab/tweak for sense 2.5?

3. On the new 'lock screen' where all the apps are can you change the order they appear...it seems very basic...help???

Any help on this HTC Sense UI would be helpful

Coming from a nexus one, i always really liked the look and feel of stock android. I flashed CM6 hoping that it would bring me back to the way i like my phone... Well don't get me wrong CM is great, and all the guys over there deserve a lot of credit, but i would really like it if i could just get stock vanilla froyo on my evo, has this been done yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daneurysm:
CM6 is as close as you're gunna get until HTC releases the source to 2.2.

If you 'decustomize' it enough you can get closer to stock than any other ROM. It is truly AOSP.

...think about it, did you have any luck getting a bone-stock 2.1?

I'm going to go CM6 as soon as the stable final is available. The RC1 was the best so far, the nightlys have been pretty spotty for me. But that's all part of the development process. Once Cyanogen says it's final I'll know it is final.

Until then I just don't see why everyone is so bat**** over 2.2. Yeah, it's cool, but, damn...I've got my Fresh 1.01 tweaked to the gills and frankly don't care about 2.2 until there is an extremely compelling ROM (CM6 final, hint hint).

YMMV, of course.
