maybe they will be announcing something cool about gingerbread on august 12th?

[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
We won't see Gingerbread before December. I seriously doubt we'll see it this year. Likely January-February time frame.
[Legend General] joeh93:
Ok, so ive had my legend for a lil' while now, though recently when ive opened up an SMS conversation its jumping to the oldest message instead of the most recent. This is pretty annoying when you have a conversation with over 1000texts.. ive tried deleting all messages but this didnt work. Its not a great problem, but its just really irritating when your scrolling to through all your messages jsut to read one!

Anyone else have this problem? or had it and managed to solve it?
[Legend General] Gaillimh_Abú28:
Bug in most recent software update, use Handcent instead, after install disable Notifications in Default messages and you'll be ready to go
[Legend General] joeh93:
Never thought of the update! Is there anyword from HTC when this bug will be fixed? or anyway to uninstall the update?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee815:
Hi, if i go into people all my contact are there how they should be but if i go in to messages & search all my contacts are duplicated, its a right pain when its showing 2 of everyone. When i go to people & view, only my google contacts have a green tick by them, even if i just tick sim contacts its still the same. The only way around it for me is to delete all my phone contacts & just use the sim ones but id rather use google as i can add photo's to the contacts.

is there a way around this ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
Are you sure its duplication and not simply showing you each number you have for a contact. E.g. you have say dad in your contacts and have stored his home, mobile and email address. This example would list dad 3 times in messaging but each would have a different number or address.

If this isn't it I did find my contacts got messy and deleted everything from phone and sim and now store and maintain my contact in gmail ONLY.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee815:
Yeh they are definitely duplicated, i like to keep my contacts as simple as possible i dont want e mail addresses or anything on there just my contacts. it looks like this.

(photo) other: allan 0187 ******

(sim) phone numbers: allan 0187 ******

(photo) other: david 0163 ******

(sim) phone numbers: david 0163 ******

its showing the sim even though ive not got it ticked in the view option. I know i could delete the sim contacts & it would look ok but thats not something i want to do as the battery is not the best on the desire & with the contacts on the sim ive always got that option to use someones else's phone in an emergency
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
Ah I understand what you mean. Must be a software bug then perhaps. All I can suggest is to get a payg sim store all your contacts to it and shove it under the back cover then just use google contacts only. Sorry I cant be of more help.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dressanderc:
Has anyone tried this on the captivate? I'd like to install via Metamorph, but I'd like success stories first. Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wOoT_WoOt:
You can be the first one to try it and report back.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dressanderc:
Ha ha .....no. But thanks for the offer :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
You are the one who is interested in this. Make a Backup, install your theme, if it works great, if not, just restore to your back-up. There is no fear of bricking your device. Dont be expecting people to just install things to see if they work for you. This is a community everyone should contribute!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dressanderc:
Thats awsome logic, however i have no knowledge of how to even make a backup, much less get a successful one. Ill be the first to admit, too, that im not very android savvy yet when it comes to the mod scene, and if something messes up, the forums would explode with me asking questions on how to fix my phone. Im also not going to loose my job because I have to explain to my boss that I bricked my phone because I wanted to make it look different. Im not a developer, im a user, and i cant afford to blindly walk in to something without knowing side effects.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
You dont need to be a developer to do this. I recommend you check out the PMC (Pimp My Captivate) guide posted in the general sections for the captivate. Also, if your new to the mod world and xda in general, I will be the first to say welcome. We have a great community of moders, users, and developers here who are extremely helpful. Most questions probably have been asked, and answered already. Use the Forums search feature to see if it has been, or if you want to learn how to do something search it, there are a TON of guides on the forums about moding and developing!

For making a backup you can do this, by going to the Android Development Section, and Reading the ClockworkMod Custom Recovery

its simple and easy for making sure you never brick your phone!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tommyb227:
got me curios ill do it. reply when i get home.....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tommyb227:
ok it installs fine over TwLauncher but not launcherPro. now you just have to find some themes that are made for 2.1 eclair rom. most of what i found was for CyanogenMod. don't know anything about this mod but i hope this helps some one. i now think this is of intrust to me too. so if we could get a captivate tut for this thing (past instillation) like actual installing of themes that would be great thanks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Apple Pi:
Yea metamorph works fine some times it bugged out with ADW when I first start up the phone but other than that metamorph works great. I'm using the evo blackbar mod.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smeltn:
Same I am using the Evo blackbar mod and LOVE IT!! I would LOVE to do more with the phone, especially something like having the HTC sense ui on my Captivate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] warri:
you can get Launcher Pro Skinned to look exactly like Sense UI actually
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Apple Pi:
Something like this?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dressanderc:
I second that. I installed it over Touchwiz and LauncerPro and I didn't see one change that it made. The only metamorph change that has actually ever worked for me is the Evo black bar mod.

Hello all,

First, I would like to thank everyone for all that they have done on this forum.

I currently Run DamageControl 3.5 and and stock Eclair with Root as well. I love them both.

However, my friend just got an Evo and he did the OTA update to FROYO right away. The only problem is, I am not sure how to root him, or where to send him. I have looked around and can not really find any information. My assumption is that getting him back to eclair is the fastest way. I am not sure.

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:

You can downgrade, using one of the previous builds.. try a search, I used simple root for one of my phones, then upgraded to 2.2 froyo with netarchy's newest build.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandlerw88:
Huh? I don't think that's correct information
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernruffryders:
from the very useful information i have ben reading on this forums, once u got froyo, you are stuck, theres no going back to previous versions or rooting untill further notice. i may be incorrect, but thats my understanding.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Once you install OTA Froyo, YOU ARE STUCK WITHOUT ROOT for now. Sit back wand wait, there is currently no way to root it.

Also, this belongs in Q&A forum, not dev.

HI

I'm a regular user for cooked roms, (CDMA ENERGY mainly)... Sometimes I need to make a hard reset but with PIM backup, XDA_UC, etc.. I'm in no time running at full speed again.

My problem is with a freeware application RoboformPPC this installation comes only in an exe file, thus needing a computer to make the installation.

Is there anyway during the install process or after, that I could get the cab it transfers via activesync to the phone?

This way I can have it on my SD card and install it after a Hard Reset.

I have write them few days back, but still no answer from them.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rataplan:
Cab

Here you go, just a small tip if you download 7-zip and extract the exe file, you find all the cab's inside.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sigiloso:
I've had a Hommer moment... :) *facepalm*

Thank you very much!

I did try with WinRar, then with Universal Extractor with no luck.

7Zip did it.

And to think I had melted my brains for days trying everything.... Sigh...

THANK YOU.!
[Vibrant General] eff0rtless:
so I have a rooted vibrant and ever since I started using SwitchPro, I've had connectivity issues with my data.

At first, I didn't even use the data toggle on the widget and I was still getting 3G dropped. I tried to add the button to my widget to control it that way and it worked fine. 15 minutes later though, the icon is no longer highlighted as shown in the pic below:

so what I have to do now just to get data to work is to toggle it on and off just to get it to reappear.

in the SwitchPro options there's a box to check for "Data connection" It says "Use APN toggle - if the data connection toggle doesn't work, you can try this"

^ I've tried checking this box but my data connection still doesn't work

- I've tried uninstalling it and everything goes back to normal.

- I'd like to get this working though since the app is pretty useful.

just curious to see if any other vibrant users are having this issue and have found a fix for it. I've read on the forum that some SwitchPro users have experienced this as well
[Vibrant General] eff0rtless:
see?! data connection on.. no data on top bar :confused:
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
SwitchPro displayed my connection properly but would not function when I tried to use it to toggle my data connection. If I used the widget to turn off the data connection, I could not get it back again unless I rebooted. I also tried the APN setting, and it didn't help me either.

Maybe e-mail the dev?
[Vibrant General] jrwingate6:
I have been using Switch Pro for 2 weeks and this has not happened to me. Maybe it's because I do not and have not used the "Data Switch".
[Vibrant General] eff0rtless:
yeah Keslynn, i'll probably try emailing them about it.

jrwin, I've tried uninstalling and using my phone w/o switchpro for a while but as soon as I reinstall the widget I have issues again.

I would definitely like to use the app w/o having the data connection icon there but we'll see what happens
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DanN80:
I'm currently trying out dual-bootin with Android for the first time and I reckon I'm gonna be a convert! :D The trouble is at the moment since I'm not quite there, I like to switch between the two a lot and this means that I get half the SMS threads on WinMo and the other on Android. I'd ideally like to have them both in sync!!!!!

....I've found loads of guides on transferring your sms from WinMo -> Android but nothing the other way around! Is there anything out there that can do this!?!?!?! :confused::confused: Maybe a way of getting Android to output in a format that PIM backup can use??

Any help would be great!!!! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ramzidk:
I've had the same thougts about syncing messages between Android and winMo.I think the only way to this is by using some backup software like Titanium which can export the sms messages in an open format and then import it back to winMo. Overall not an easy synchronizing process :) but maybe someone knows about some brilliant software which can do this easy...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DanN80:
Since posting this I've had a quick play about with the output from PIM backup. As it says on the developers site you can easily unzip the pib file and the message file inside is just a csv semi-colon delimited file.

I opened a recent backup with notepad (excel didnt seem to work for some reason...i couldn't get it to save as semi-colon delimited) and then simply changed the date stamp and body of one of the messages. Then put the message.csm file back on the phone and restored from that....selected "Add only new messages..." and bingo the new message was added

Maybe using a program like SMS Backup & Restore on android which outputs as xml it would be possible to create a little script to convert that to a csm file??????

Welcome to XDA! Couple things: 1) The Search feature on this forum will be a very good tool for you to use. From now on, please Search for answers like this and do a little bit of reading before posting a question.

2) This Development section is mainly for ROMs only. Keybords and themes can usually be found in the "Themes and Apps" section. And if you have questions about certain things, the best place to post a question is the "Q&A" section. Thanks.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marixsmith:
I know this was an issue with earlier builds and I only really notice it when i'm outside or in noisey environments. I'm currently running shubCraft 1.2 and even with the volume maxed it's still a little less than i'd prefer. I know with the G1 several patches were released to optimize the audio quality and volume of the speakers. Has anyone pursued that for the HD2? Is this just a limitation of the current software? Should i just use a headset and quit *****ing? Lemme know.

Thanks.

[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Now most of us including myself have had the opportunity to try out the Android rom on our HD2, I was wondering if anyone was going to jump ship to Android or stick with WinMo on the HD2. I know there are already a couple of polls/threads on this subject matter but I thought it was about time somone listed the pros and cons for each OS and HD2.

Below I have listed what I believe to be the positives and negatives are (from my experience):

Android - Good Points

Fantastic app store selection

Refreshing UI from WinMo

Dedicated constant Google Android only apps

720p HD video recording (possible)

Compass Street View in Google Maps

ROM upgradeable OTA

Customisable

Good notifaction bar

Facebook/Twitter/Flicker Contacts intergration

My Location always works

Auto update notifications for installed apps

Better Youtube app with ability to view/leave comments

Live widgets

Live Wallpaper

Flash support in web browser

HTML and images displayed in email straight away with no "Download images" as per WinMO

Android - Bad Points

No Secure Box/Private SMS storage

Only 7 homescreens (possible 9 with 3rd party launchers)

Multiple email accounts not easily accessable from one screen

Poorer weather animations/transitions

No dedicated app exit button

No Face down Speaker Phone activation

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Mobile - Good Points

13-18 homescreens

Weather Wallpaper

Excellent Secure SMS box

Customisable Home Screen/Tody view (Cookie's Home tab)

Access to several email accounts from Mail tab

Smoother weather animations

Animated photo and music landscape transitions/coverflo views

Document tab

Excellent developer community

Various roms - 6.5, 6.5.3, 6.5.5

Better office support

Windows Mobile - Bad Points

My Location rarely works

Inconsistant looking icons for apps

Old UI hidden under Sense

Can crash and freeze

Phone slows down when Twitter tab updates

Frustrating HTC keyboard

No flash support in browser

Internet Data Connection prone to freezing and stalling

Any other good or bad points? Will you switch?
[HD2 General] Rurph:
a number one reason for sticking with hd2 for many people including myself has been its hardware, its 4.3 inches amazing screen. however, having just seen this http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/htcs-4-3-inch-desire-hd-shows-up-on-video/ - upcoming HTC Desire HD with Android 2.2, i think that would no longer be the case. HTC Desire HD is arguably the successor of HTC Desire. I wonder what HTC has up its sleeves as a successor of HD2 :)
[HD2 General] TonyCubed:
Sorry to say this, but a lot of the WinMo reasons are invalid since a lot of the reasons are down to HTC i.e. Weather Animations, Secure Inbox, Home screens, etc. These run on top of WinMo. WinMo by itself is a legacy operating system that HTC have dressed up really good.
[HD2 General] mirroalex:
the only reason, it gets normal updates, it is open source and it developes every day to be good OS(and it has full potential to be best OS) but in case of winmo only minor changes from build to build like changing **** , did you ever think what is changed from build for example 23531 till 23569 com 5 or even compared to wm 6.5 219** builds ? almost nothing... but u see many changes from android 1.6 till the latest 2.2

P.S just want to mention that i'm not kind of guy who hate win mo just i need something new, something that has some new words to say...
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Maybe I did not make it clearer but I meant to stick to WinMo on the HD2. Afterall this is a HD2 forum and we users own one. Therefore, HD2, WinMo and Sense are seen as all in one in this thread.
[HD2 General] wade_link:
I really enjoyed the Android OS, but it didn't have push HoTMaiL and it didn't truely sync all of my exchange server data (calendar and contacts) without a 3rd party paid app.

For those two reasons alone, I have to side with HTC and WinMo.
[HD2 General] ap3604:
Another great reason that Windows Mobile >>> Android is the fact that you can use bluetooth keyboards to type office documents!

There is no way to do this on Android currently...
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Added point no hidden virus in wm apps. I am on the fence right now to be honest, I dont like the closed nature of WP7 but dont want OS designer to be able to remotely remove apps from my phone either, as well as I really dont want to have to worry about what the app is doing in the background like the last "music app" that would send sms to a premier site either
[HD2 General] ap3604:
Great point there zelendel nice catch!

Even when I had an iPhone before I really appreciated how Apple tested the apps before they allowed them on the market to make sure they weren't malicious...
