[Droid X General] mwxiao:
I love the overall design of Droid and Droid X. But what's up with the physical buttons? Why can't Moto make them touch buttons? Pressing a touch buttons feels so different compared to pressing a physical button. And with Android, you have to touch the screen and press those buttons ALL the time. It feels so awkward and uncomfortable to switch between touch screen and physical buttons.

Am I the only one?
[Droid X General] bouchigo:
I actually like the physical buttons. I'm sure there are others like you that don't like them, but to me they are no big deal.
[Droid X General] HostileJava:
I prefer having the physical buttons, I like knowing that I pressed the button, not assuming that the system received my input.
[Droid X General] Enndr:
^^ This... As a person coming from the Nexus One and its non-physical buttons I'm very happy with this. No more hitting home or menu 3,4 or 5 times to get it to register.
[Droid X General] karnovaran:
I'd have to think the physical buttons are also useful in letting you wake up the phone ergonomically rather than having to reach around to the top power button.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I too like the physical buttons. Not sure what it would feel like the other way though .. may like that too.

Not that it helps a "VZW Slave" like me, but you could always go with an EVO. It has capacitive buttons, doesn't it?
[Droid X General] Waitzar:
I had EVO before returning it and got DROID X. I didn't like touch buttons on EVO because sometimes I accidently brushed Search button while holding the phone and the search box popped up while I am trying to do something. So I actually prefer physical buttons over touch buttons. The only touch button on DROID X that I don't like is the Camera button. They should've made that touch screen to take photo. I fixed that easily by using Vignette camera app. :)
[Droid X General] veeeee:
I am all for the physical buttons. Nexus One buttons often times wouldn't register.
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
I had the EVO for a few weeks. I could never figure out a way to hold it, especially in landscape, without pressing the search button all the time. There are downside to physical buttons, but I'll take the X's hard buttons over EVO's soft ones any day.
[Droid X General] gardobus:
Like the others, I love the physical buttons. Id always hit search on my Droid, even with the lip at the bottom. With the X, I only hit buttons when I mean to.
[Droid X General] wad3g:
I'm with the OP, I like the touch screen buttons. I came from a Blackberry Storm 9530 with physical buttons, to a Droid without, and a Droid X with the buttons again.

I definitely prefer the the latter. It looks smoother and the physical buttons just seem a big awkward to be honest. However, everyone has their opinion and I am happy with the Droid X. I do hope we can eventually install some custom ROMs though.
[Droid X General] akajetta:
I am rather fond of actual buttons... Though, coming from a Blackberry Storm, The Home/menu keys are "backwards" :)
[Droid X General] gardobus:
I went from a Droid to an Eris to my X. All 3 had the buttons in a different order :facepalm:
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
I would say Moto could've done a better job on the buttons. They're workable, and I puffer then to soft ones, but there're not separated, so hard to tell which you're on by touch alone. And they are a little too wobbly. The buttons I remember on my Axim 51x and Palm Vx were ideal.
[Droid X General] hardrockfoo:
I enjoyed/enjoy the physical buttons on my Voyager. They were far apart and I couldn't place my thumb over the entire keyboard. Now moving on to a touch only phone (whenever Verizon ****ing ships it) the biggest thing that drew me to the Droid X was that the keyboard was much MUCH easier to use over the Incredible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshmerd:
How long should it take? I have done it a couple times before so that I could use Apps2SD and then back to a single partition to use Froyo, then back to an ext partition set up. Now, I was trying to partition back to a single FAT32 partition, but it seems like it has been doing it for a lot longer than it previously did. Is it stuck in a loop, or should I just battery pull and assume it worked?
[Droid Eris Android Development] joshmerd:
I just checked it. It didn't partition anything. Weird. I'll try again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] KarateExplosion6:
If you're checking for the partition in Windows, then you're making the same mistake that I first made. Ext2 and Ext3 partitions are Linux partitions, so windows doesn't see them. If you partitioned using Amon_RA's recovery, make sure you also converted from Ext2 to Ext3. Also, make sure you did NOT convert to Ext4--Zanfur's OC Kernel does not currently support Ext4, so this won't work on any of the Eris ROMs. Hope this helps!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
Some ROMS seem to require ext2 and some require ext3 apparently. Is it possible to create a softlink so the phone would see both ext2 and ext3 or is it even possible due to differences in the filesystem structure? I'm thinking along the lines of using something like "ln -s"...
[General Topics] fonsecase@hotmail.com:
Hi,

I have a Touch 2, HSPL, with the WWE Europe - 1.28.401.4 ("RUU_Mega_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.4_Radio_Signed_61.41t.25.31_3.48.25.27_Ship.exe"). The HTC connects to the car kit with no problems (Renault Scenic) but every +/- 2 minutes start disconnects and reconnect to the Bluetooth car kit alone.

I have applied the "Radio_Mega_3.53.25.20.exe" but the problem is the same.

Any hints on the behavior?

Thank you!

[Captivate General] TexUs:
Anyone know what it is? I had mine set to Tmobile now I have no idea how to change it back (I think I've discovered a problem with MMS not sending when it's set on Tmobile APN... Just have to change it back to verify this).
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I turned off boot emulation and it restored it after a reboot.

For other people, the default ATT APN is 310410.

I'd highly not recommend using Market Access to emulate it on boot.

Seems to have prevented some emails (data) from sending, as well as not allowing my MMS to send (but oddly enough... browsing and stuff still worked- which is why it took me so long to figure it out because it appeared data was working).
[Captivate General] nbs11:
That is not the APN, that is the SIM card number.

The APN is how the network connects:

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

Port: leave blank

Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password:CINGULAR1

Server: leave blank

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC:310

MNC:410

APN Type: leave blank
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
310410 is AT&T network id.

Captivate also suffers from MMS problem if your phone is using 2G/EDGE.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I did not know about the MMS problem but being on 3G it works fine. What the heck...
[Captivate General] bama1965:
Thanks for the info nbs11.

That saved me a lot of time.

Peace
[Captivate General] shoman94:
What problem does it have with mms in 2g? Mine works just fine.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Doesn't really matterrs any more. JH7 update fixed it.

It won't send MMS on EDGE when picture size > 100KB.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gr8gorilla:
I bought the screen protector package from tmobile. Hated them and ripped them off.

Bought a Clear Freak. Not bad. Not great either.

My biggest problem is that I bought this phone, out of contract for $500 because it has this amazing screen. So I want to protect it so it continues to look amazing, but in doing so I make it look like total ****. So it is a self defeating endeavor. It is a great paradox. How do I protect the screen and make it look amazing?

In the past I have used Seidio inward facing cases. That protects from most accidental damage and a micro fiber cloth to clean dust and fingerprints a couple of times per day.

I really just feel like using a screen protector on this AWESOME screen is blasphemy. I just tore off the clear freak while writing this, the screen looks 10x better without it. Using a screen protector on this phone is very similar to just leaving it in the box, or just using an inferior screen.

Basically I didn't buy a $500 phone with the most awesome screen on the market so that I could slap a piece of plastic on it and make it look worse than an old G1 screen.

What are your thoughts?
[Vibrant Accessories] Raceves:
I use the RealLook screen protector and it is hard to even tell that it is on there.
[Vibrant Accessories] moSess:
So true, so true...
[Vibrant Accessories] salman.a:
Does realook collect dust around the edges of the screen. That is the main reason I took the gadget guard off.
[Vibrant Accessories] nick_karstedt:
I used the clearfreak and I really can't tell much of a difference. I spent a good fifteen minutes getting it perfect, though.
[Vibrant Accessories] Gr8gorilla:
I have used a couple of different screen protectors and was about to buy the reallook this morning on amazon because I just don't dig the clear freak. It does look invisible but you can tell a huge different in the crispness of the screen with it on there. I believe that is going to be the case no matter what. So I have made decided to go bareback and just hope that I can keep it scratch free!
[Vibrant Accessories] blanked:
I tried the T-Mobile and Realook screen protectors. I've given up. I just don't like screen protectors.
[Vibrant Accessories] Jdom58:
The T-Mobile screen protectors are horrible, the matte finish degrades the screen, had them and got rid of them.

I'm now using the reallook and if applied correctly, you can't tell it's on the phone, it's very, very good, covers the entire screen, and screen senssitivity is not affected. So far no dust on mine around the edges either.
[Vibrant Accessories] zerosource:
If the phone will not be scratched by anything, so why bother putting protector on?

I got one piece of gadgetguard and I feel more confidence sliding my finger across the screen harder and harder without worry.
[Vibrant Accessories] YepMan68:
Agree that no screen protector is the best, but I have the reallook cover and I'm very happy with it. Screen still looks awesome.
[Vibrant Accessories] mp2ning:
I have a Realook and I am very, very happy with it! I have installed T-Mobile protectors on other phones and didn't like them. With the Realook I have to tell people that my phone actually has a protector installed.

I have not used Zagg but after installing the Realook on my Vibrant I don't plan to install any other brand.
[Vibrant Accessories] bchalk:
I thought the same thing. I now have a scratch in the center of my screen, I don't even know what it's from. The strange thing is I am super protective about my device and it has never been dropped. The only thing I can think of is something in my pocket but I never keep it in the same pocket as anything else.
[Vibrant Accessories] turbo chicken:
Bare naked at the moment...waiting for "the best skin ever" skin to come out.

I have a feeling that I'm goin to prefer bare skinned... but with some kind of case...otterbox? Anyone?
[Vibrant Accessories] BigRO:
Invisible Gadget Guard

I am using a screen protector from Invisible Gadget Guard, and i really can't tell that it is there. I did have to take about a half hour to make it look that good though.
[Vibrant Accessories] jrwingate6:
Had a Realook but it made the capacitative buttons along the bottom less sensitive. I took it off and am debating on going back to a screen protector. If my screen gets scratched up that bad I will just call Tmobile customer service and tell them I need a new phone because my phone is sucking down batteries in less than 2 hours. Works every time!!!!
[Vibrant Accessories] all4degame:
I HATED the T-Mobile screen protectors I had. I switched to realook and swear by them now. As long as you take your time putting it on, the results are beautiful.
[Vibrant Accessories] thedarkpassenger:
i like the clearfreak, it was a pain to put on but its feel is very close to the screen itself
[Vibrant Accessories] dnguyen1988:
I really think realook is the way to go. I've used many different brands of screen protectors and this by far is the best. Like ppl have said before you really cant tell that there's a screen protector on the phone
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
I have clear freak right now but there is one small spec of dust under it and its annoying the hell out of me. I picked up some realook screen protectors think I'm going to try and switch to those.
[Vibrant Accessories] thedarkpassenger:
funny you mention that - i have the same thing.

I ordered 2 of the 3.99 clearfreaks, but my next purchase will be the Realook
[Vibrant Accessories] DKYang:
Nope. I get some dust on the screen when I take it out of my pocket, but never on the edges.
[Vibrant Accessories] zerosource:
Im using the same brand. I don't like the cut off on sensors area though.
[Vibrant Accessories] Vanilla gorilla:
Got the real look and can't tell it's there. No capacitive issues here.

Sgs
[Vibrant Accessories] Gr8gorilla:
had the reallook up on Amazon, about click buy, and closed the page. I know I will just take it off in a couple of days.

Hey everyone, im now a proud owner of an HD2 for the second time round. I jumped ship about 3 months age for the stylish curves of the X10. But i am now back with my tail between my legs hoping the community will let me back in lol. God i so cant wait to double click that custom_ruu icon lol

Ricey
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Not a fan of the X10? What are your thoughts on it?
[HD2 General] ricey1986:
No, not really a fan the biggest drawback for me was the screen- it seemed to scratch really easily (i know this can be solved by a screen protector). Another reason is the crappy customer service from SE. I know the devs have rooted the device and it will only be a matter of time before they crack the bootloader but i am impatient and want to flash custom roms now. But apart from that the phone is a solid device. Generally just missed my HD2

[XPERIA X10 General] Reeonimus:
If you've rooted the phone I would suggest downloading "ShootMe" from the Market. Very simple to use.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willspr:
Hello,

Everything started when I did OTA update to Froyo...

My Desire reboot randomly when I use Nav, Maps, Browser, etc...

I tried to downgrade the HBOOT to 0.80 with a PB99IMG.zip package in order to get a clean place to do again the update.

The OTA update did not available after that...

So, I root it with Unrevoked, put a 2.2 official Froyo from Modaco with associated radio rom, install all my usual applications (Task killer, Reminder, Calendar, etc...) and try to use my phone again... with random reboots again :(

I made a swip of all that I could, re-install official Froyo ROM with radio, without anny application... and then, try it again... with random reboots !!! :mad:

Sometimes, it reboot in loop and then stay on the first HTC screen.

The back of the handset is hot when it reboot (but was more hot without any problem before, when I was under Android 2.1 and Nav activated).

The phone is not branded... and I use it with Bouygues Telecom.

I not use my gel case since I had the problem, as I though it could be an overheat issue.

And I have already read other topics about Froyo and reboots but not find something that could help me :confused:

Anybody could help me ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrongOneX:
i have the same issue. The only way to fix it is to underclock the cpu or open the back cover and blow at the bottom on the phone where the cpu is located.'

Or you can always return it to htc service (remember to flash original rom,radio and hboot and unroot)

The issue is that the phone got very hot and actually burned some stuff in there making a shortcircuit, before my phone could withstand over 50'C, Now it reboots at 40'C. I seriously think the phone has been fried!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepe.lepew:
I have exactly same problem.. it's very annoying!!! Anybody can help??

Maybe some app do it?

First it happened only in browser on some websites (after debrand + FROYO). I suspected Flash plugin.

But then it starts happened randomly everywhere - when reading PDF, use Navigation...

Even if i downgrade with PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed_txt.zip and then receive new OTA 2.10.405...

bug is still there! :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyguitar:
Hi guys. Hope you can help me out.

I am running an un-rooted un-branded Vodafone HTC Desire with the official Froyo update.

My question is this. I while ago I sent an email to an incorrect email address I manually entered in the "to" field.

Now when I start typing email addresses it often prompts me to select the incorrect email address. How do I remove it?? It's not part of a contact and says it's in "History". Email address history?

I sync with gmail contacts and facebook contacts too. It's not in either of those.

Lastly I want to sync with facebook for HTC Sense for status updates but not for contacts. Is there a way of seperating them? In Settings>Accounts and Sync I can just turn Facebook for HTC Sense on/off. Not specify anything else.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyguitar:
bump! Anyone?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumadeez:
Same problem here

I've been hopping around other android forums reading the same problem and no one has an answer. Theres gotta be a way to clear this history. Its pretty annoying. I tried clearing data, clearing cache from the settings>applications, installed a clear history app, nothing works.

Anyone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyguitar:
Thanks sumadeez. Please can a moderator make this a sticky thread until resolved???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumadeez:
Just some detail to add to the issue from my experience -

Im running an unrooted HTC EVO using the native HTC Mail app running Froyo.

The problem also appears when you try to 'add' a new email account to HTC mail. When you start typing the first letter of the email address, it appears in a historical drop down as a choice. Seems like the unwanted email address only appear within an 'email formatted input field'.

I also thought it was part of the custom dictionary that gets saved when you type, but its not in that list either.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
Could it still be in your sent mail somewhere?

Re: Facebook for Sense, do you want status updates for yourself or your friends status updates? If its your updates, use the Android app, for your friends use Sense and select your own picture for contacts. Hope it helps

Last things I did was the lag fix and deleted some bloatware apks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp2ning:
That also happened to me after deleting bloatware! One or more of the removed apps is causing the error after bootup and the Market not downloading apps problem..
