Hi all,

Does anyone have access to the test .apk that Blueinput released that might let me use/test this with my samsung Galaxy S?>

It doesnt seem that their live .apk on their site will work with every device.

Or maybe there is a better option somewhere that I am not aware of.

Anyone have any luck using other methods to connect a bluetooth keyboard to their Android handsets?

I am rather disapointed that I have been unable to pair my Nokia SU-8W with my Sammy :(

I am doing the bulk of my mobile typing with my N95 8Gb (paired with su-8w) now that I have sold my HD2.

This is a nuisance as:

a/. the notes application really sucks and doesnt give me much in the way of layout options

b/. the screen is 320 x 240 and just not as nice to read....

Can anyone advise me?

Thanks :)

hi saw ur post and decided to share this rom

htcpedia.com/touch_it_black_xperience/soft/sony-x1-rom.html

currently the most battery saving 4 me, have 90 % for 11h standby, and few hours of wifi reduced battery by abt 10-20%. I am not forcing u to use this, an alternative would be 826x rom further down in this rom dev forum.

ROM - Touch it Black Xperiance.

Language - English

WM - 6.5.5 23569 (older version or with cookie mod available at download location)

Htc sense -2.5 2016

Enjoy!

ps. u will nid an account to download.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDizzurp:
ive tried them all and 826x works best for me..i used energy before that (not a bad rom but it had problems with my wifi and other things)

but not all xperias are the same, some roms might not work as good for you as they do for me and vice versa.. best solution is to try each one out for a day or two..get a feel for them...

No mobile OS is unstoppable. Android may be doing extremely well right now but that doesn't mean that they can't get knocked down into oblivion. I don't think it'll happen. But that doesn't mean that this current sales boom is going to continue on forever.
[Nexus One General] panzival:
The cell provider is limited in the US but pretty much everyone carriers it outside. Here in Canada for example, Fido/Rogers/Telus/Bell/Virgin all carry the iPhone.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Lol, no it wouldn't.

Not necessarily. Every mobile OS up to this point has been essentially a one company, one software scenario.

Android is much more flexible in terms of staying up to date with usage trends. If developers start moving in one direction, android by nature will follow that direction. iOS, winmo, blackberry attempt to monetize the OS.

What makes the open nature of android so great is that it gets small independent developers involved. Those are the real people who allow for progression in OSes.

You have knockoff phones running android 2.1. That's a great boon for android.

You're right in everything that you said. But that still doesn't mean it's unstoppable. While the chance of Android losing its momentum anytime soon is extremely unlikely, it can still happen. Depending on who you ask, you can be told that Windows Mobile was "unstoppable" at a point or that Maemo was the new up and coming that was going to make an impact. And of course, a great example would be s60 which many thought was the next "number one".

I love my Android. My Nexus One is my baby, I've got a 6" Andy decal on my car, and a smaller one on my laptop. But we gotta be real here. Nothing in the mobile game is truly unstoppable. That includes Android and iOS.

So I was rebuilding my HTPC (new PSU and graphics card, and a fresh win7 install for anyone interested) and I realised that the driver disk for my wireless card was in the loft, two storeys from my position in the lounge! What a disaster!

So instead of trudging all the way up two (that's right, TWO!) flights of stairs, I decided to see if I could tether the PC to the phone (which was connected to the wireless network) via usb. Guess what? It worked!! I knew I could tether if the phone was connected to 3G, but not wifi. I was pleased.

That's right folks, my phone saved me a horrendous journey to the loft (and back).

I know I sound sarcastic, but I always do. This actually did make my day...

Multitasking

My family and I just moved halfway across the country and my N1 made it soo much easier. At one time, while driving across Kentucky, I had the N1 playing music over bluetooth to my truck radio, while it was navigating for us, and tethering to my wife's netbook which was playing a movie for the kids in the back. It was super hot, and I don't think it gained a single percentage of battery while it was charging, but it worked for hours like that.

After moving into our house over the weekend, the DSL or satellite TV wouldn't be hooked up till Monday, so we tethered the N1 to the PS3 and watched Netflix movies all night.

And it's my alarm clock.

Im wondering how did you get it to tether your wifi connection? when i try it always uses 3G,
[Nexus One General] thatoneguy247:
I thought the same thing, but it turns out that isn't true.

When you use your nexus as a hotspot, devices connected to it can use the N1's hotspot and connect to the wifi network the N1 is connected to. Your nexus, however, can't use the wifi network except to pass it off to the tethered devices. The N1 won't show that it's still connected to wifi, but a speed test I just did on my pc while tethered to my N1 confirm it (unless 3G just got bumped up to 12mpbs :D)

We had an issue with a very expensive microscope at work. We had to dismantle part of it and look at its inner mechanics. Where was the torch that my boss desperately needed? Yes N1 to the rescue!
[Nexus One General] wfagan59:
I did not know this. I was tethering 3g and sometimes edge to the netbook. I'm sure the video stuttered and lagged a bit, but my kids didn't complain.

I get caught up in all the latest and greatest things we can make our phones capable of, but when you take a step back and look at what the N1 can do now, it's pretty amazing. Doing all that in my truck while driving 80mph down the interstate is crazy. Some of the credit should go to the carriers (At&t in this instance, but I had T-Mobile forever, I still miss my Shadow sometimes). Fact is they blanket the whole damn country with signal for the most part and we all take for granted that it will just work. My wife gives me a hard time when I get all excited over my phone, but even she had to agree that this example was pretty cool.

I9000 roms work on the captivate and vibrant phones, so it should work the other way around. They do have the flash their kernels after flashing the I9000 firmware though, so you'd probably have to do that too.

you can use ICS (internet connection sharing) via WiFi. This is super easy on win7. Just create a new Ad-Hoc network and connect with your device. Don't forget to enable ICS in the adapter properties ofc.

[Desire General] tabashir:
I have the same issue. It happens with both the Gmail app and the HTC setup wizard (com.android.settings is the process that fails).

Would probably never have noticed the setup wizard except it also detected a SIM change (presumably because I updated the radio) and started the wizard which caused the crash.

I have changed the Gmail app in recovery mode with an old one that I had from an earlier 2.2 flash (md5sums are different) but this makes no difference.

I don't use Gmail from the device and have no issues with calendar, market etc so it not a problem (for me) except for 2 force close windows every time I boot the device.

I had a problem with Gmail when I manually flashed a rooted official 2.2 ROM over MCR6. Clearing down the Gmail data fixed the issue and after it had synced up again worked fine.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darraghn:
Hi, I have run into a problem using Unrevoked 3.1 on my factory unlocked,

non branded HTC Desire on stock Android 2.1 Update 1 via OTA.:o

Initially I tried Unrevoked on a Windows & 64 bit machine. I installed

the ADB Drivers, and ran Unrevoked which failed on the reboot with a

"failed to flash..." message. I have tried on XP 32 bit, Windows 7

32bit and finally I downloaded Unbuntu and tried that. Every time I

get the "failed to flash..." message. When the phone goes into

Flashboot, I can select Recovery but there is a pause and after a few

seconds there are 4 error messages which appear briefly on the screen

before it moves back to Flashboot, where I can select Reboot and boot

back into my working non-rooted Android system. The error message is

something like "No Image or Wrong Image! PB999.ZIP, No Image or Wrong

Image! PB999.IMG, No Image or Wrong Image! PB999.NBH etc"

I tried to install the Froyo 2.2 OTA update to see if that fixed the

problem but it also failed with the same failed Recover message. Any

suggestion to fix the problem please?:)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forelli:
All of you with the similar problem: UNINSTALL HTC Sync, reboot your machine, and launch unrevoked. It has a compatibility(?) problem with HTC Sync, due to the HTC drivers. It took me 1 hour to find out, when I rooted my unlocked/unbranded Desire with unrevoked. Maybe that's why yours is messing up too. And don't forget to download and install the samsung drivers with the link provided by unrevoked, in the read me, or how-to.

f.

P.S: Once successfully rooted, you can then insall HTC Sync and do what you have to do with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darraghn:
Hi baitdude, I managed to fix it yesterday. Solution was to download:

PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip

Rename the file as PB99IMG.zip and put it in the roor folder of the sd card. Switch off the phone and restart by holding down the volume button and power. It will reflah the phone with Android 2.1 and you can then move on from that.

I tried rooting again using unrevoked and got a black screen on startup with the HTC logo and 4 warning triangles in each corner. The only way to recover was to download the official Android 2.1 RUU and reflash the phone. It took 3 attempts before it worked. Then I just gave up on rooting and dowloaded the official HTC Android 2.2 update OTA. It failed twice, each time updating and rebooting to a white screen with the green HTC logo. On the third time I took out the battery and rebooted normally. Finally it worked. I had to reboot it again before the mobile connection and the market worked. All now working normally.

I hope this helps someone.:D

I followed unrevoked instructions exactly but got a failed to flash image as well. I have the DINC. Also, how can you uninstall htc synch if it is a system app being that you must be rooted to remove system apps? I've already tried easyroot, universal androot system app remover and all to no avail.

this seems oddly similar to what i'm experiencing. my signal cuts in and out from 4/6 bars to none with an X. I had this issue on the latest fresh, CM6, and now the latest Baked snack.
