[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsph88:
I am currently running the latest CM6 nightly, and love the fact that there is no HTC sense. My only gripe is the lack of 4G. Are there any new froyo roms with working 4G and without HTC sense? I searched the forms and tested a few roms, but couldnt find anything.

Thanks!

EDIT: Answered my own question.. sorry! For anyone who may be wondering, try Baked Snack or Fresh Evo 3.0.0.4
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ts_mpls:
I thought both Baked Snack and Fresh did have Sense...? I'm running Fresh 3.1.0.1 right now and it definitely has Sense.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
fresh does have sense not sure on backed snacks though (i thought it did just not 100%).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydoanpham:
i'm looking for this also, fresh seems to waste a lot of my battery power that's why i love CM6 but with no 4g i'm like meh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
hopefully DC 3.5 goes live soon. In the beta you can remove sense as with there older roms.

This showed up today for $14.60:

Looks kinda ugly.

If you're not familiar with DealExtreme, be prepared to wait a month or more for your item - they all ship from China. But the shipping's built into the price.

Plus usually their stuff is not to bad..

This had me a little worried:

- Replaces your broken or damaged original palm pre battery
[EVO 4G Accessories] rekphiv:
with most chinese batteries not even being 70% of their claimed mah, looks like alot of extra bulk for very little battery life. an extra 300-400mah MAYBE.
[EVO 4G Accessories] strikeIII:
Looks like the same one sold by boxwave.com which is pretty good company. I've ordered stuff from boxwave before.

battery

Well for getting batteries, i never deal with dealextreme, as its not reliable. I usually order my electronic accessories so as batteries with Chinabuye, reliable and well made quality. They are online store from China, i find i get all latest hitech gadgets and their accessories at best rate. My batteries working so far so good! Worth it!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
why are all the larger batteries LiPo?

after dealing with them in airsoft there is no way i would put one of these in my pocket.

and in the fact that they are cheap chinese batteries and you have a recipe for napalm to your genitals.

Hi people,

I can't find some apps in Market.

Such as Traffic Rush and others.

I am in Hong Kong (non-paid country) but I do have a vodafone UK sim card.

so is this normal?

thanks!
[Wildfire General] fishb00n:
It's because of Wildfires 320x240 (qVGA) Resolution.

You can try to download your Application manually (Traffic+Rush_1.3.apk i guess?) and see if it will run.

The exact answer why we can't see all applications in the market is also already around here in the forums somewhere. :rolleyes:
[Wildfire General] kogaht:
cant the mobile force the app to run at 320x240??

like how computers do?
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Not for all of them, Its a case of good programming.

I use Copilot btw works fine.
[Wildfire General] rasenzhang:
I try install some app copy from a G3 friend, some report error when install, some installed but button can not display normal(part / all out of edge).

most of this is games.

more than half is OK.

more over, some app have a QVGA version. like UCWEB,a web browser.

screen is the weakness, just think it may save battery, make you feels better.
[Wildfire General] fishb00n:
maybe we should just wait how things evolve when froyo update is here :-)
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Also guys,

Install Appbrain market place and Fast web install from the market.

Use it with Appbrain.com and you can install all applications on the phone(that are free on the market).
[Wildfire General] Jypy91:
Appbrain does not fix the problem. It show all apps, but if they're not available in your standard Market app, you won't be able to download them!!!!

If have a Wildfire since last week. I bought it in France without any career and I use it with a Vodafone spain simcard.

When I was in France, with my spain career I was able to see/download almost all apps... But since I'm back to spain, a lots of apps disappeared from the market.
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
If you use the fast installer and install from the site it works fine for me.

I downloaded Mixzing this way.

Payed apps like I said are excluded because of Google Checkout.
[Wildfire General] fishb00n:
I downloaded Fast Web Installer and it said it integrated well with AppBrain ... however it still can't download some apps i find in AppBrain. "Element not found"

or do i have to install through appbrain website?!

got it to work ... install through website ... great find!!!
[Wildfire General] benjymous:
Is the Wildfire rootable yet?

If so, you can install a patched version of the Marketplace app that'll show all the apps that normally get hidden.

This works fine on my QVGA X10mini

see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742608

(FYI, App developers have to specifically say what screen sizes their apps support. QVGA wasn't available in Android 1.5 or earlier, so old apps that haven't been updated won't show up. Likewise lazy authors won't think to test on other screensizes. We need to make sure authors know that there are lots of QVGA devices out there and we want to use their apps!)
[Wildfire General] kogaht:
does it work only on rooted?

and will the app run normally?

thanks for the help!
[Wildfire General] Trism:
I've been using appbrain to get the apps that don't appear in the market and I've found it works really well. All the ones I've downloaded so far have fit the screen perfectly as well, I don't see any reason why they couldn't be made available on the market
[Wildfire General] benjymous:
I've only tried on a rooted device (since I removed the original vending.apk and replaced it with the patched one)

If you follow my link through to the original HTC Tattoo thread, you'll find the links for the patched apk's so you can try installing it normally and see what happens

I have and always had a non-rooted stock EVO and have not had any issues with anything until the last update. The music player is not playing my WAV files from my Cisco Phone System voice-mail e-mails. Is anybody else having an issue with playing WAV files on their 2.2 OTA updated stock EVO?

EDIT: Looks like it is an issue with the encoding on Cisco's end. I am going to try Remote Wave from the Market and see if that works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burt Reynolds:
Are you certain you were able to before? I use Magic Jack for home phone service, which records messages in .WAV format, and have yet to be able to listen to them. Thats both stock 2.1 & rooted stock 2.1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
Yes, with the stock 2.1 I was able to listen to the WAV files. Sorta weird. I just downloaded the Remote Wave and it is playing for me now through that program...sucks that I have to spend $3.00 to play a WAV file though.

2.2 OTA Update

Up until the 2.2 OTA update i was able to play my Cisco VM messages through my email. This is now bunk and i cant believe they would do such a thing....

I dont want to use a different app to play WAV files when this worked fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReproOne:
I too was able to play my cisco deliveredy unity messages in WAV format with 2.1

The audio file can no longer be played with 2.2, and I have been trying to figure out why the change. Like you, I would rather not pay for Remote Wave when the functionality worked before the 2.2 update.

Does anyone know why the stock player quit playing these files as a result of 2.2, or if there is a plan to have it fixed?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ysneoh:
Dear all,

i updated my X10i from RB1A014 into RB2A020 (Singapore) , then, i was trying to root it, but unfortunately i root it with wrong flash tool (that meant for R2BA024 >> R2BA026)...

I then go back to SEUS to refresh my X10i (Singapore should only up to R2BA020) , and now the number stay at R2BA026.... I was very puzzled... Is it a real "026", or because the system files had been over written by the flash tool i used wrongly?

How do I do to root my x10i, and to update to R2BA026??

Please advice....

Thank you...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
Go to the X10 lock screen, and do this key sequence.

Menu Back Back Menu Back Menu Menu Back

Then go to Service Info -> Model Info to find out which ROM brand you are using.

Then for firmware version checking. Go to Settings -> About Phone then scroll down.

If it shows R2BA026 then it is R2BA026.

You can always redo the whole rooting step all over again to get at least R2BA024 with root access. I don't know how to get R2BA026 with root access.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ysneoh:
So, Xeviro, had you did any update recently? What is your X10i software status?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
i haven't try to do update again on SingTel firmware yet. now running R2BA024 with root access. i have my SingTel firmware decrypted and can be flashed with flashtools, later next new root comes, i will try. I doubt they have new update for Singapore firmware, last time people having update 23 already while SingTel still stucks with 14.

your's is also from SingTel?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ysneoh:
i am Starhub user, and i update the firmware via SEUS...

the first time i update it was version 20...

then, i completed the step1 of flash.. then realise i do it wrongly.. and stop there...

then, i go refresh my X10i with SEUS, and then, it shows version 26... :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xeviro:
anyway. no worry. if your aim is FW 26 with root access. just go through this steps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740240 or you can follow the main root thread.

just redo the whole root process again without worry, X10 is hard to brick :D

If you want to go back to StarHub FW (is there's any) then hopefully you have the previous ROM FW14 or FW20 in back up, then you can reflash again or even decrypt it.

If don't have StarHub FW in back up, then you might need to find other X10 with StarHub FW to make a backup so later you can use to reflash in case you need to go see CS for repair or anything.

Also maybe there are possibility that StarHub is using other different FW than SingTel that might have FW26 ready for update. You just key in the key sequence and check for the phone FW brand.

By the way is the first FW installed in the phone for StarHub X10 have any StarHub customization inside? My SingTel X10 have Live Traffic in Timescape. If it doesn't have any maybe its Generic FW.
[General Questions and Answers] RedRamage:
Howdy folks,

This isn't smartphone question, but many people here seem to be very smart and I'm hoping that someone can help. Here's my situation: A coworker has a pending legal matter with a ex-significant other. Part of the evidence includes text messages that were sent to her. However, her old phone has since "broken." The only key that works is the red button. It powers on, powers off, but will do nothing else.

This is a Nokia phone, I'm not sure the model number but relatively recent. My question: Where are the text messages stored? I pulled the SD card and there's nothing on it. I can plug in the phone to a USB port on my computer, but all the folders that I can access via that method are just songs or vids she loaded. Are the messages stored on the SIM? Would putting the sim into a new phone allow us to access those messages? Or is this something that she needs to subpoena the service provider to get? I'm very un-knowledgeable on this to any help you can give would be appreciated.

Again, sorry to ask an off topic question, but I do hope someone can help.
[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
text messages are usually stored either on the phone's internal chip (default) or the sim card. The best way in my opinion is somehow "remotely control" the phone (my mobiler has a similar function for windows mobile), or swap the hardware of an identical phone so you can get the phone working (dangerous)
[General Questions and Answers] RedRamage:
Thanks Danni... I'm not sure of any software like "MyMobiler" for non-smartphones though. :(
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleByte:
I know, when you replace a battery:)

But my question really revolves more around changing ROMS. Are there enough differences between ROMS that would make a battery wipe necessary when changing ROMS to ensure accurate reporting of the battery level?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisreallygay:
I'm wanting to know the same thing to... And I need someone to tell me how to do a battery wipe correctly.. Because I've heard of multiple ways of doing it.. I.e. Doing it at 100% battery then letting it die out.. Then I've heard to do it when your battery is at like 5% then charge to 100%...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleByte:
I'm in the process of Method 1...I think I picked that up one of the Cyanogen-based ROM threads, saying it was necessary to do that to get an accurate battery status with the new ROM.

Hence my question...when is it necessary and what is the correct procedure?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisreallygay:
I did method 1 of my post and it has seemed like it has helped my battery tremendously... From what I've heard it's necessary after flashing a new ROM. And I can't remember who.. But I think it was tazz that informed people about method one. Don't quote me on that though haha.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosteddroid:
i usually do one if i notice ****ty battery life and all you need to do is let battery drain then after a good charge wipe your batt stat in recovery, atleast i notice a difference when done this way....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bimmer323:
I'm doing method 1 now, trying to get the juice down but its stuck on 9% left. Hmm, making me think there is some truth to this. Not that I'd doubt a dev .... (Taz )
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahjee:
I don't know what's the most effective and efficient but I When I do it I let the battery fully die then boot it into recovery real quick, do the wipe then power down and charge.when it's finished charging I power on and use til it's fully dead, then charge fully again while powered down.

I've had real good battery life running conaps CELB 1.6 and 1.7.1

I have a Virgin UK Desire that came with a 405 Rom. I updated it to a later WWE Rom. It worked fine but kept the Virgin boot screen.

So be careful!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorbisloth:
My car has the MS Sync system on it and I use my phone to stream music to it over blue tooth. It works great.

Now my one issue is more of an annoyance. Something I had before but don't have now. I was running Damage Control 2.09.01 for a while using the MixZing media player. So long as the BT was enabled on the phone the car would connect and the phone would automatically start playing the song it was previously on without any interaction from me. It would pick up right where it left off.

Now I've switched to ZenHeroFX 2.0 still with MixZing player. When the BT connection is made it won't start playing the song automatically like it did before. I can of course hit the play button on the media player or i can hit the previous/next button on the steering wheel controls and it will start playing but I'd really like to get it back to starting automatically.

Anyone have any ideas? I've checked all the settings in MixZing but can't seem to find anything that would affect this.

I don't get it... Why are there so many ROMs? Shouldn't there just be a few based on certain core changes? Are most of the changes in the ROMs just based on the applications that are shipped with it?

I personally want a barebones install so I can install what I want and not have to worry about what other people like.

I'm just confused as to why there are so freaking many in the ROMs section. There should be a poll about which ROMs are the fastest that's constantly updating with their new releases. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldash:
I'm not trying to complain, but it's a LOT to sift thru when you're new to the EVO. Why can't they all be combined into one super ROM (with great performance and battery life). ;)

To provide choice.

I unplugged the phone and got onto the bus. I read news with Captivate. Nothing fancy, just NY Times, Fox News etc. I got off the bus later, I only have 73% battery.

Yes, I just started my day and it's only 70% of battery.

#FAIL.
[Captivate General] TimF:
There are a few simple things you can do to increase battery life. Turn the screen brightness down and use a solid black background as a wallpaper. The screen uses the majority of the batter. so dimming the screen helps, when using a black background the amoled display does not light up black pixels so there is power drain.

I've been running on the same charge since 4pm yesterday. I've streamed music through pandora for about an hour while exercising, browsed the xda forums using the XDA App for 30 mins, made a few calls, browsed Facebook for 30 mins, surfed the web for a couple of hours before bed. Its now 10AM and I'm sitting at 36%. Not to bad really! The phone functions exactly the same at 36% as compared to 100%.
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
I wonder why everyone says to use a solid black background? Do most people use their phones primarily by staring at the home screen? I'm never at my home screen more than perhaps five seconds while switching apps :P

I've had pretty poor battery life as well, even after discharging, recharging, and deleting batterystats.bin. There are small tips here and there, like black background and screen brightness, but even following them all, my phone lasts me barely ten hours, and most of that time it's idle. For instance, I listened to local must (no streaming) with the screen off for about an hour and lost 10% of my battery life. What's up with that?
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
I am also shocked and confused by how people can use their phone so heavily.

I already killed those unnecessary processes (e.g., all AT&T crap). I have a static wallpaper. I have screen brightness at 60%. And all I have been doing is just reading news and surfing the web. It literally cost me 1% of battery for every 1 min of use. It's just ridiculous.
[Captivate General] TimF:
You are probably on your home screen a lot more than you realize.

Anyway it's a smartphone, they all eat through battery time. you will never get superb battery life unless you crowbar a 3000mah battery into your device.

edit:

set the screen on its lowest brightness setting, the only time I've had to increase the brightness is when I am outside in the sun.

if you are on a bus, if you are not using wifi, turn off the radio.
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
You just said your phone is at 36% eighteen hours after charging! Compared to the 0% I'm at ten hours after charging...I'm not looking for superb battery life at all, just somewhat decent. I'm actually bringing a backup feature phone with me to college this semester in case I can't resolve this issue, because I will need to use my phone both in the morning and at night some days :P
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
I have Wifi, BT always off. And I don't listen to Pandora.

I think the key is you have the lowest brightness on your phone. It is going to save you a lot of battery 'cause half of the battery is for the screen.

But I just couldn't stand it. I wish I can set to 100% all the time. It looks so much better.
