If your questions have been answered, problems solved, can the OP please change the title to or something like that?

It would make it easier on folks like me who dont mind answering questions and who want to help but dont want to filter through threads to find out whats still out there.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smileandnod:
I am currently using a Topaz windows mobile based phone, and thinking about switching to a Desire.

However, I use my phone extensively for business, and need to know if there are some things that Android will allow.

First off, I need to be able to access my home network with the wireless. Currently I use Resco explorer, browse to my server share, and copy the files I will need to the SD card. Is this possible on Android? Is it just as easy? I often have to do this first thing in the morning, when I don't have a lot of time. This is an absolute deal breaker for me, so I am really looking for some help before I commit to a new phone.

Non show stoppers but nice to have;

Cookie's Home Tab type display , which allows me to show my next 3 calendar appointments, and 3 tasks on the home screen. Will Sense allow this on the Desire? I like the Sense interface and widgets, so would prefer to keep Sense, but am prepared to apply additional software to allow me to do what I need to. (Paid or otherwise).

The ability to map hardware keys to specific functions (eg I currently have long press on the back key to switch off my wifi. Handy for in the car, when I forget to switch it off).

Ability to edit open office, and ms office documents.

That's it I guess. Any and all feedback very much appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
1) yes you can browse files on your home network using the desire, you need 3rd party software tho also there are apps that will let you controll your pc and or device remotlely from your device and or pc

2) there are loads of calendar widgets on the marketplace im sure one will take your fancy

3) the wifi will switch itself off after x amout of time idle

4) the desire comes with quick office out of the box but there are tons of office apps so yeah :)

Just a small warning if you think to sync your mobile with the PC (callendar, notes, mails, contacts) via bluetooth - it's not possible in android.

Well, not entirely true, as there is "Missing Sync" in the market, but costs for about $40 - a bit too much.

So, try to love your usb cable :D

You're not "sharing" with google though. You're just using their webspace to host information such as calendar and contacts.

Do you really think that Google have the time to look though all of their user's data, see your calendar information and contacts?

hi all, i'm currently using ATK advanced task killer, and I realise that when my phone is idling, i have apps like video player and whatever apps that are running and sapping up my ram... may I know is it normal? and is there a way to stop this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
It's normal, delete apps :eek:

What I notice is that related apps sometimes run together, so if I'm using video or audio the other type seems to pop up within a few minutes of each other more likely than random app X. There are other cases that are similar for me.

Also, if I use the marketplace, everything under the sun runs and stays in memory. Essentially, Android is more or less designed to use your RAM so the programs in it will launch faster. Empty RAM is wasted RAM and if the system detects low RAM it'll free some up for you.

I'm not sure where you are, but I found that Davenport's best buy usually held their evos longer than other best buys. I would go to bestbuy.com, search for evo and look for in-store availability. If it's at any best buy near you, buy it online, print out the thing they email you and bring it in to pick it up. Then you don't have to go all the way to each best buy and check, plus it's pseudo-reserved for ya.

[P3400 General] P3400i:
Hello all,

I have been using a P3400i for about two and a half years and it has been an absolute faithful. Somewhere along the line a friend convinced me to flash it and I'm running Win 6.5 now for the past 8 months or so.

Now the phone had been consuming more battery than usual but then that was expected. However something really weird happened today. I used the phone around 4 hours ago (a call) and around that time it had been acting funny- the power button wasn't responding (to send it to standby mode), some keys in the virtual keyboard weren't working etc. I was in the gym at the time so I thought I'll figure it out later.

Once I got home I tried to restart it and then something funny happened. After a couple of tries, I'm not getting any display, a red light in the earpiece is constantly on, and the answer/disconnect button is permanently backlight. I've attached a pic for reference.

Can anyone shed some light on this?? Thanks in advance. :)

P.S. The casing is a dopod, had changed it a while back...

just remove your memory card and then try to restart it may be due virus your phone is facing problem to start so just try it i am not sure but it may work

I have a few applications (Juiceplotter for example) that store some graphic files on the SD card.

When I view the gallery, I don't want to see these graphs. (I also have an issue with MP3s from Lets Golf and the music player)

Can I hide these directories by adding a "." to the name of the folder without effecting the actual application?

While it does hide the folder form the gallery, it also hides it from the application. So the application pukes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeknoJnky:
there is a way to prevent the media scanner from scanning folders, something like putting a blank/empty 'noscan' file in the folder.

Maybe someone else will remeber the exact filename, otherwise I'll repost when I have it.

try an empty text file '.nomedia' in the folders you want not scanned

There's an app called HideNSeek for 99 cents. It's supposed to be used by playas that don't want various girls to see pics of other various girls in the gallery (it's even disguised as a flashlight app), but I think most people use it to block regular folders/pics (like album art) from showing up in the gallery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmeagolGollum:
Don't do that ! Or be aware of the consequences.

If you put a .nomedia empty file in your folder in order to prevent the Gallery from loading pictures, it will also prevent any media players (ex : music player, winamp, meridian, etc...) from scanning these folders to find music !

So, I still don't know how to prevent Gallery from showing pictures in music folders (because I prefer having a "polluted" Gallery than a useless music player!).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik077:
Why don't you use . (Dot) if you want to hide anything (etc .Pictures)? Adding dot in front of the name will make folder as hidden and will be visable only via some app (root explorer, bluetooth file transfer)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boku_baka:
why it becomes so complicated??

you dont need to rename any folder.

just place .nomedia file in folder which contain files you don't want people to see. (i.e pr0n)

don't place it on your camera (DCIM) or music folder, thus gallery app still can access it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
chmod will do it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Its complicated because in different case its not that simple, for example I have many deep rooted folder structure which have links to 1 master html page (actually its an offline html site where the pix are sliced) now i keep on changing over writing this folder structure so as per suggestion I will need to create .nomedia file & copy in all the sub folders>sub folders right upto the last directory. Gallery in this case index 1000s sliced images & polluting the whole gallery.

Even if I do this once I will have to do it again as it will get modified when I overwrite.

Best would be (if possible) I create a master folder & tell gallery not to index any media for all the folders & sub folder from this master folder. So I copy the folder=file in thsi master folder if i don't need them to be indexed in gallery.

But what do I do for the music album art? the media player needs to display the art so if i put .nomedia file will the music player be able to display it & the gallery wont index it?

I am yet to try this solution.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
seriously dudes between chmod and chown you should be able to do anything you want. If the app tanks or ? you might have to write a small script. Worst case scenario you could probably put files on a different partition and crate a symbolic link to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Use QuickPic as your gallery. You can exclude folders from the app itself, but without the .nomedia or hiding the folder. It's not the greatest answer, but it's a really good app & a bajillion times faster than Gallery 3D & a jillion times faster than the Sense gallery.

As far as media players go, I'm not sure. As I said, not the best answer, but an answer nonetheless.

EDIT: In QuickPic you can exclude the top level folder, so the subfolders are excluded as well.

:confused:not sure if i'm supposed to or not so i'll say it anyways. sorry for the thread resurrection.

i found a solution for this in cm7. use the file manager that comes built in and navigate to the folder you don't want scanned, then hit the menu and choose "exclude from media scan". i had to restart my evo twice for it to take effect, but its a nice fix, and i really like the Gb gallery design.
