MY wife has the Droid Inc. I have the X.

Here is my question my wife has gotten 2 Google Map Updates in the 3weeks I bought my x. I have gotten none. Am I missing a setting?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ksizzle9:
ur not missing anything as far as the updates go. the dinc came out first so it prolly had a much earlier edition of maps. the x is newer and probably came with the most recent version of maps when it released. even if she just updated hers yesterday or today it may have been a update that has been available for sometime that she just didnt install. when the next update comes u will see it. more than likely when you open the market u will see it or it will pop up in the notification bar.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] exempli_gratia:
You checked the versions, and yours is not the latest? Latest comes with the Places app.

Not sure when Market checks automatically. If you being up your downloads in the Market app, it should check then. You can always install it again from the market manually, and get the latest.

As a sidenote: I've noticed that if you install an app from local storage (i.e. SD card), as opposed to from the Market, the Market doesn't see it, and doesn't know to check for updates. But, since Maps is pre-installed, I doubt that's the issue here.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Just Joe:
My version is 4.3.0(#4307) the wife is traveling for work so I can't check hers until next Friday.

She just called hers is 4.40 (#4414)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ZerkerEOD:
I got an update the other day not sure what version though but I am getting it and I'm on an x
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ZerkerEOD:
Just checked same version as your wife 4.4.0 (#4414)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Just Joe:
Great so once again it is just me.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Just Joe:
I got my answer. I just want to share with all of you in case this happens to someone else. Before I start this is my first smart phone ever I had an HTC Inc. for 2 weeks before it became the wife's new phone. So I am new at this.

In the Android Market go to your settings and then to download. I saw the Google Map update and 4 other updates that I was missing.

Thank You to those of you that responded to my post. What pisses me off is that 3 phones calls to Verizon Tech Support led to Big Red telling me call Motorola. I did and they could not help me. :confused:

Where did I get this answer from some chick in a Verizon store with a nose ring and a Frisbee in her ear. :cool: Just need to get that off my chest.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] oldmacnut:
And yet I present myself in nice clothes, hair combed, teeth brushed and no hardware in my head, but cant get passed the Frisbee chick when I apply for a job or when I try to get a new client.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] o0gamerbear0o:
hmm. well maybe she is really smart. piercings don't make people stupid you know :)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Agreed

Im 70% covered in tattoos.... Check some of my threads... just saying...:D

While it may not be pleasing to the eye, science has yet to determine the correlation between piercings/tattoos and intelligence.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Just Joe:
70% so your not really putting any effort into it? Just kidding.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] davisbs999:
@oldmacnut, perhaps that pierced woman is thoughtful and non-judgmental:)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Ouch :D haha, I still have plenty of sand left in my glass. Just no money:mad:

Hi

how can i save non-supported format email attachments to my SD card.

I have received an email with a video file (AVI), and i just see a green android and a paper clip in place of the attachments, with no options to save (i tried long pressing)

I have tried k-9 client, but it also does not give me an option to download the attachment (only works for supported formats)

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bwolmarans:
anyone? dddd
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ^Sbk79^:
I don't know, but if it's the same as for the browser (not letting you download unsupported file types) you could try something like byte tornado.

I installed that and I am now able to download any file (for sure from the browser but, if I remember well, from gmail app too) from the interwebz.
[Palm Treo Pro] delta 1646:
I have been using windows mobile devices now for about 5 years,my first phone was an mda compact III which was excellent.next up was the Mda Compact 5 which also is a very capable device, might I ad these 2 devices were brilliant with the sat nav never missed a beat allways having plenty of satalites ,my main reason for having these windows mobile devices is all in one phone and sat nav as I am a driver and sat nav is a MUST .I allways have the latest version of Tom Tom navigator installed on my phone. This is when I started to get fed up with touchscreen phones as they can be so annoying with wrong finger scrolling and such likes, I decided I now need a device with physical keys.

This were my search for qwerty keyboard phone began,firstly I bought the Samsung i780 which on the face of it was a fantastic device it was solid,fast ,However the gps was just awfull I loaded up my tom tom but I tried in vein to install endless apps like gps test /gps gate,etc etc and just could not get it to work right,

Next up was the I-mate 8502 again another nice device but 10 -15 resets a day all got too much and that went also.

So here I am with the Palm Treo Pro ,managed to get a nice example from Ebay for £70,really nice device loads my tomtom 7 with 850 maps on no problem,really likin the phone ,I think I have finally found a phone that will suit all my needs ,spb mobile shell to get away from the home screen and I`m away. First day using the Phone with the tomtom on and the the phone freezes on me twice ,soft reset sorts it out .,I have read endless amounts on this since then with no conclusive remedy.IS THERE AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM or is this fine phone going to be a non starter,I will be so disapointed as i really enjoy using this device,all help or comments will be greatly received.

Thanks in advance.
[Palm Treo Pro] amcolash:
well if you have a data plan, i highly recommend getting google maps. otherwise you could try bing. both are very good applications and save you a lot of space. sorry im not familiar with tom tom, but i do know that there is not too much ram on the treo. if you close all your other applications in the background, you might get it to work then =]
[Palm Treo Pro] delta 1646:
Thanks for your reply .Think I have found a remedy to the tomtom freezing daily,I changed the baud rate from 4800 to 9600 and so far no more freezing and losing sats,only been 2 days but no more hang ups.
[Palm Treo Pro] voncrane:
Hi, if u don't mind shelling out some more money i would recommend u try Garmin's navigation software. I've been using it almost daily for about 6 months with fast gps detection rate, etc, and it has never frozen up on me. and as computerguy pointed out, it works best if other applications in d background are exited.

P.S. I'm using a custom ROM though.
[Palm Treo Pro] askelon:
I'd second the Garmin software. Used to run the TomTom software on mine and had nothing but troubles. It would either freeze up or just would lose the GPS signals constantly. Garmin might not be as nice to use but its rock solid in comparison.
[Palm Treo Pro] dpearce33:
I agree about TomTom freezing. I don't have it as often as you do but I do have occasions where it seems to lose all track of where it is.

I have switched to Sygic MM10 and it's brilliant. It uses the same maps as TomTom but has better graphics and is rock solid
[Desire General] peewster:
Ok,

how about the people how updated through systemsoftware/updates from their Desires.

People with bad blocks (i'm lucky i don't have them) can't use the rooted "official" froyo roms from the devs here.

Root is gone

Unrevoked doesn't work anymore

fakeflash rename to update.zip doesn't work anymore.

How to restore root for the ones who updated through their phones?
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
You've to wait for a solution, everyone have been advised that this would happen.
[Desire General] quark1980:
the`ll just have to wait and keep theire fingers crossed... it has been said numerous times in here: "official update wipes root.."

they are "de lul" :+
[Desire General] Fightspit:
+1

We have warned so many time about that...

and then some people cry because they can't root...
[Desire General] cgorki:
please close
[Desire General] peewster:
Yeah warnings enough but phones with badblocks can't update with the rooted roms from the devs over here.
[Desire General] peewster:
:D de lul indeed :)
[Desire General] Noodled24:
Is there a way to add favicons when pinning a bookmark to the home screen? Rather than just the stock HTC bookmark icon?
[Desire General] steve228uk:
Looks like in Froyo there is. When you click 'Add Shortcut' and then 'Bookmark' you'll get a favicon for the bookmark icon.
[Desire General] Noodled24:
oh well...

Was planning to wait for Orange to roll out their update, but I might just have to do some reading and upgrade myself.
[Droid Incredible General] nayr1482:
Hey guys,

I have kind of a unique situation...

I do a lot of International travel for work - as such I currently have a VzW TP2. About a week ago the screen "shattered" (beneath the surface - phone still works fine). Looking at VzWs International Phones, I am disgusted by my options...

They can get me a replacement TP2, but then I will be locked into 2 years (work policy) with an already out-dated hardware phone (love the phone - but even with the Overclock now...a 3mp camera w/o flash...etc...it is out-dated). Of course they offered me an Imagio and or the LG Fathom. None of these phones make me excited about having it for 2 more years.

I really want either an Incredible or an X (too bad they arent International)...I was sort of leaning toward the Incredible since I like HTC and from what I understand they use the same battery...so just assuming the Incredibles battery life is better? Plus the X doesnt have a flash does it?

Anyway... to my question.

What I was thinking about doing - was getting an Incredible or an X - using that Domestically and then before I travel, de-program it (*228 ???) and program my cracked up TP2 and use that overseas, and when I come back de-program the TP2 and re-program the Incredible/X.

I travel about 1-3 weeks per trip, and usually about 6-8 trips per year.

The crappy part is I use my TP2 to watch movies on the plane from time to time...so if I use the cracked TP2 when traveling...I will be watching movies on a busted up screen...which sounds crappy but I REALLY want an Incredible or an X.

So - those of you that have the Incredible - and hopefully some of you were former TP2 users - would the above scenario be worth it to you? Or would you just get a replacement TP2 (my current TP2 is OC'ed stable at 729mhz - runs very smooth, but was never happy with the camera. only way to get a "decent" picture is to take the cover off before you take the picture) ???

The other option I may have is switching to AT&T and getting the Captivate...but not a huge fan of going to AT&T.

Sorry for the long post - looking forward to hear what you all have to say.
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
Sounds like a pretty good plan, sorry about ur broke screen. couldn't u use incredible on the plane though? Airplane mode with WiFi on?

Is for activating and deactivating I couldn't tell u, sorry.
[Droid Incredible General] nayr1482:
yeah i could - just dont really care to have to carry 2 phones around =)

i travel pretty light (one to the big things i loved about getting my tp2 - stopped taking a phone, camera, ipod and went to just the TP2).

VzWs International phone selection is horrible right now...(not that it was ever great).
[Droid Incredible General] andybones:
I personally love the DInc. I came from the samsung intensity(lol) to lg dare, to droid eris, to the DInc.

such a great phone you wont be dissappointed
[Droid Incredible General] gadget!:
I came from a Touch Pro 2 same as you, I loved my TP2. As far as an International phone It's pretty hard to beat.

That being said, aside from the International aspect there is no comparison.

It did take me a while to get used to not having a keyboard but the benefits of the Incredible make it well worth it.

Get the Incredibe, you won't regret it.

Also, you might look into getting a replacement screen for your TP2.

gadget!

[Droid Incredible General] theoneownz:
ditto on coming from the TP2

The incredible is a definite upgrade. but if you have time to wait for a new phone........ wait

Samsung Galaxy S (Verizon will call it Samsung Fascinate)

will possibly be available next month for 200 with contract. Better GPU, Process, Screen Size, Screen Quailty, Battery life..
[Droid Incredible General] nayr1482:
do you know if it will be a global phone ???

from what i have found looks like no (CDMA only) ???
[Droid Incredible General] gruss01:
You could also pick up a used storm or tp2 for a few bucks and get the dinc for day to day. Tp2 would probably be a better choice since the batteries are interchangable. Seen them all over cl for cheap.

[Droid Incredible General] timehunter:
CDMA actually has a pretty fair international penetration. The GSM folks would have you believe that you can barely travel outside the USA and still use CDMA. Nothing could be further from the truth, and GSM is no panacea either. It has the same differing frequency issues as CDMA does.

Here's an interactive map of CDMA areas worldwide so you can check if where you tend to travel has CDMA coverage. http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/index.asp

You can also check with Verizon to see what countries they have CDMA roaming capability in.

If there is CDMA in the area you travel, get the Incredible.

Update: VZW has a very inexpensive dual CDMA/GSM phone, the Escapade, that is well reviewed. It isn't fancy, but it will keep you in touch.

[Droid Incredible General] da_reeseboy:
Just curious... why do u not want the fathom? Its running a snapdragon 1GHz processor - I have one and I love it, everything runs really smoothly.

Not trying to start a debate or anything... like I siad - I'm just curious.
[Droid Incredible General] nayr1482:
3.2MP camera, maybe it is better than the 3.2MP camera on the TP2 - but I dont want to bother. I'd like a GOOD camera and would prefer a flash if possible...
[Droid Incredible General] nayr1482:
thanks for the website. looks like some of the areas i travel are OK but my most frequent (Europe) has very limited if any CDMA capability.

anyone know if it is possible to do the de-program, program using *228 w/ 2 phones ???
[Droid Incredible General] da_reeseboy:
That makes sense... Thanks for the reply.
[XPERIA X2 General] pandabe:
(first sorry for my english ... i do my best)

hi all !

1) i want to know if is it possible to use the "slide view" menu only

I wanted to know if it is possible to use the menu "slide view" only as first homescreen (like spb, home, tilewave, ... )

Otherwise, I found many very useful application for the X2

2) after reset my phone i lost a ringtone -> Orient

anybody have this one?

thank's a lot
[XPERIA X2 General] ILLUMINATT:
1)yes,if you know the registry keys (and know how to change them so they will work) for the hardware ''slideview/panel manager'' button;

you need to make a new panel with a sony ericsson panel maker and assign the file SlideView.exe to run when you open that panel
[EVO 4G General] PFx00:
I loaded CM6 when the nightly was first posted and had been loving it. I thought it was awesome that it was pure Android with all of the proprietary HTC stuff stripped out. I was sure that AOSP was the way to go and hadn't looked back until yesterday when I loaded AvaFroyo-V3. Not using Sense for a while has really made me appreciate the aesthetics and usability that HTC has put into their devices. I can see why they keep it so locked down because it really does make their devices stand out amongst the other Android hardware, especially to the majority of their users who could care less about rooting, open-source, etc. Who knows what I'll be running next week but I'm going to stick with Sense for now. :D
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Really? It makes me realize how bloated and completely unnessecary Sense is, but that's just me... Personally, I don't have any problem with taking the time to download my own widgets and apps so I can customize everything exactly how I want it.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Sense is a bloated pig but to each his own.

Almost every sense widget has an equal replacement in the market if you know where to look. Launcherpro plus, fancy widget and others come to mind.
[EVO 4G General] cosine83:
Only one I couldn't seem to find was a replacement for the favorite contacts slider. Which also happens to be the one I use the most.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
http://www.launcherpro.com/?p=130
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
LauncherPro Plus has the contacts widget.
[EVO 4G General] firemedic1343:
What is it that you like about Sense?

I think most people like Sense cause it looks good out of the box, the iPhone type users like Sense a lot. Those of us that like customizing our phones usually hate Sense, because it's bloated and HTC disallows uninstalling programs until rooted.
[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
A week or so ago there was a 'scrollable contact widget' in the market that worked great. It was free too. Maybe HTC C&D'd them too.
[EVO 4G General] kong97:
Yea it was called mecontacts I have it but it is no longer on the market, at least not for me
[EVO 4G General] notown775:
I love sense and customizing my phone. And i am not a Iphone type user.. You shouldnt really categorize people. it just boils down to the old saying "to each their own":D
[EVO 4G General] xero187:
CM6 + Launcher Pro blows sense out of the water...

No bloat + more options

It takes some time to set up, but once you figure out what you are doing Sense will be a thing of the past.

CM6 + Launcher Pro FTW! :D
[EVO 4G General] PFx00:
I'm all for customizing but I like for my phone to have a consistent look and feel between all of the widgets too. Like I said, it took not using sense for a while to appreciate this.

No doubt that there are more options and, with some effort, you can get close to the same experience. I thought CM6 and Launcher Pro was the way to go until yesterday. Now I'm torn. :)
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
It's getting really, really, really hard for me to pick between froyo+sense and cm6+launcher pro plus (which I recommend every true lover of launcher to get; support your devs!!!).

Pros for sense: Widgets-Bar none, the implementation htc has with sense's widgets are just plain awesome, I mean friendstream, bookmarks, messaging, mail, everything is right there and accessible from the get-go.

Cons for sense: Slow as balls, no customization, gives me some weird purplish tint on my nova,slow, has those stupid sprint apps, slow, aaaand did I mention slow?

Pros for launcher/adw/whatever's not sense: Customization is AWESOME, can do whatever I want, from changing the app drawer opening time to the color of my task bar (cm6), if I see it I can change it.

Fast as HELL- Pretty much gives you a brand new phone; really makes it feel worth the $350 I paid for it on launch.

Cons For launcher/adw/whatever: Customization- Some people really don't want the hassle of having to set up EVERYTHING to their liking, sense really simplifies the overall experience.

Widgets-While there are competitors out there, I've yet to find widgets that truly replace some of the htc widget's for me. And I can use my yahoo mail account with sense so that's definitely a factor to me lol

At the end of the day, it really is up to personal taste. After all, this is android and android DOES everything you want it to. What's great is we're given so many awesome choices; and even when finding flaws in both their still better than anything else you can find on the market. To me, the real winner is the evo+the supporters that have made this phone what it is today-awesome.

p.s-I hope this thread doesn't turn into a pissing ground against sense or people who choose something different than what you have; it's called an opinion and everybody's is different, grow up if you can't understand that.
[EVO 4G General] PFx00:
To be more specific about what I like ... and remember this is personal preference with zero effort to setup:

Clock - Sure clock widgets are a dime a dozen but I've become accustomed to the Sense's clock and weather. You can use beautiful/fancy but neither have the full screen weather animation (which serves no purpose but I think its pretty cool).

Copy and Paste - I love that copy and paste functionality is built in across all applications. I use this most in the web browser. I'm not a fan of the select text feature.

Keyboard - I like the haptic feedback when I type, I also like having the arrow keys (both took a while to grow on me). Plus, the keys seem a little bigger so its easier for me to type on. I was using various keyboard mods but they stopped working on CM6

Touch to focus camera I never really knew how much I missed this until now. Such a handy feature. Hopefully they'll get this working when a new kernel source is released.

Facebook Contact Integration Sure you can load a hacked .apk but I also think HTC's integration is a little better than stock. Especially how they pull other peoples' pictures into the gallery.

Dialer- Was using Dialer One, but still like the look and feel of HTC's better. Also, the contact pictures that are synced from Facebook are much higher quality.

Calendar Widget- I never really found a good free replacement for the HTC Calendar Widget. Several people have recommended a paid calendar grid app.

4G Toggle Widget- Never really looked for an alternative but missed it when it was gone.

Radio- I never used this but thought I'd throw it in the list. :)

HTC Sync- This is the only option to get my work calendar on my phone because Google sync doesn't work with Office 2010 and Windows 7. There are 3rd party applications but I don't want to load them on the secured network at work.

Other Misc Widgets These are kind of useless to me but still nice to have options that are skinned to match perfectly - Music, Friend Stream, Day in History, News, Weather, Etc.

Don't get me wrong. CM has an awesome ROM that I'm sure I'll go back to at some point but I'm lovin' me some Sense right now.
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
While I liked Sense when I first got the Evo (new to Android) I think your pros pointed out exactly why I sought out and found LauncherPro so quickly. I don't use any of the Sense widgets! the first thing I did was remove friendstream, book marks, messaging and mail widgets.

In any case, Sense UI is a good UI for people who take advantage of all the widgets but others may see it as 'bloated' if they don't. I like paring down my screen real estate and LauncherPro allows me to do that easily. But it does take up time and effort to set things up just so.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
It is still there. I just did a search for it.
[EVO 4G General] NCHEVYHEVN:
Both have thier pros and cons. I personally love sense. The only things I wish it had is the normal bluetooth stack so that I could run wiimote and then I wish sense would go into landscape. And also I like the 3D app drawer.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Does Launcher Pro allow you to sync your contacts Facebook info (pics, statuses, birthday, etc) like in Sense? That is invaluable for me.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
That has nothing to do with LauncherPro. You do that with the Facebook app.
