[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tydiz:
Well, this depends on how you approach it, but I think the easiest way to do this would be to create a feed using XML. So if you were doing your font updater, you would load a file like this:

<FontDetails>

<Font name = "Font1" example = "http://www.myfontsite.com/FontExamples/Font1.png" location = ""http://www.myfontsite.com/Fonts/Font1.apk"\>

<Font name = "Font2" example = "http://www.myfontsite.com/FontExamples/Font2.png" location = "http://www.myfontsite.com/Fonts/Font2.apk"\>

</FontDetails>​

The problem with this is that you will have to maintain this XML file, making sure its always up-to-date(Easily manageable with some simple scripts).

If you aren't willing to do this, you could go down the road that is wrongly mislabeled as "The Easy Way" and hard-code the locations of all your APK's and all of your example images, but I would only do this if you were planning on dumping all the APK's and images in the same place(For example, if all your APK's were here: http://www.myfontsite.com/Fonts/). You would request the directory information from the server and parse that into your list of font APK's and correspond them with their example images(probably by naming them the same; i.e. Font1.apk and Font1.png).

If you decide to use the first option, you could do a bunch of cool things with the organization, like break things into categories and apply taggings and it would only require one request to the server per update. If you go with the second method, organization is guaranteed to be a mess if you try anything large scale, and adds a layer of complexity if you try to break things into folders and categories. This would require a ping per folder you have to check, which can have a high complexity factor if you have a lot of folders.

I just want to point out that even though this is directly related to development, this is a type of question that belongs in the General section(Questions ALWAYS belong in General). I'm sure a Mod will come around, scold you, then move the thread.

Anyway, I do hope this helps,

Good luck,

Tyler

Edit: Having a bit of problems getting the XML looking correct. Sorry if it looks ugly :S
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s73v3r:
Even easier would be to manage the updater as an RSS feed. Then it becomes quite trivial, as there are several examples of RSS readers online already.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzero88:
Great! Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, the XML approach I think would be the better option as well, just because we could use this thread to hold everything ;) I currently do no have any hosting at this time. Would you be up to making such a application? It seems you have the know abouts to so.... I would be the one to maintain everything and update it. I would monitor this thread and when new ones pop up, I wouldn't mind adding it to in the XML.

Also, how would the RSS feed work?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tydiz:
Wish I could...I've got about 50 projects already on the back-burner and no time to finish them ;) Tell ya what though...I've finished a mini project a couple weeks ago with some buddies at school for my friends website. Its an Open-Source RSS reader that was made to read in the latest articles of his site. With some slight tweaking, I'm sure you(or some other dev) could mod it to work in your favor...Here's the github address:

I don't think this is the latest code, but all the working elements you need are in here.

I'm still kinda stuck on Fresh Rom 1.0.1, I keep Nandroid'ing back to it. Everything works good and I really saw no reason to jump on Fresh 3.1.0.1 yet.

I have been "playing" with other ROMS though. I just checked out CM6 and I gotta say, I like landscape mode for the desktop/main screen. All the Android releases should do that. The only ones I've personally seen do that are the ones with slide out keyboards.

Anyway I'd probably run CM6 if I could get everything working right. The big thing for me that I just can't seem to get working is Wifi Tethering. I can't get it working on ANY FroYo release for that matter. I've tried CM6's built in app, I've tried Wifi Tether, Pre 1~7, nothing seems to take. In most cases my PC's won't see the network and if they do, they won't connect to the net. I Nandroid back to my Fresh Rom 1.0.1 and all is well though.

Suggestions?

Hey guys, this is my first post here.

just rooted a few days ago and decided today to try and flash a Froyo rom, was going to do skyraider. i read and followed the how-to for the radio update, unrooted, and placed the file on the root of my SD card. when i went to recovery when i attempt to run update.zip i get an error saying 'not found' 'authentication failed' or something very similer. searched around and didn't find much...

currently running 2.1update1

any ideas? thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] th3condor:
Ok ok the question is very stupid...

but what is the difference true nandroid and titanium backup ?

i understand that nandroid make a back up also of the rom, instead of titanium backup that make back up only of application and your data

is true ????

thank's
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xfile087:
Yep, nandroid backs everything up apart from modem so when you restore the whole lot is restored. Titanium just backs up settings and apps and very useful when you keep switching roms!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azbobs:
Can you reload back to and older radio?

Hello All,

Everything works gr8 except I cannot go on the internet or make calls or sms.. The phone starts up fine running the Android 2.2 and the radio is flashed to 2.05.00.6.11 so when I try to unroot by loading the PB31IMG.zip you get the following in recovery mode.

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

So I am wondering if I will be able to reload the old Radio 1.00.03.04.06

So, I am just wondering since I can still get into my phone is mine bricked due to the fact I cannot logon to the internet and use the phone or send sms/msm messages? I called Verizon and they are telling me it was due to an outage since yesterday,,, but my wifes phone works fine... hmmm,,, not sounding good!

Darn I have never had this happen and have never bricked my phone have always read on these forums for sometime before making the change. Since so many others were able to upgrade thier radio's to 2.05.00.6.11 and run 2.2 I was'nt to worry about this.

I noticed under > setting > call > NBPCD "NBPCD Current Country" What should this setting be mine is sat at United States of America (310) is the 310 the area code?? My area code is (623) and I even tried adding a new one with United states of America and put the reference country and the only selections are (310) through (316) choices? Does anyone know what the correct setting should be for arizona, peoria should be? I just thought maybe the reason I could not reach the internet or phone could be these settings. I have looked through google and the forums and not finding this info.....

Damm I like this phone and if Verizon would get off thier ars and push out the dam 2.2 upgrade we would not be having to deal with this issue, right now! So I may have to use my insurance but I am worried that when they see the 2.05.00.6.11 new radio loaded if I am unable to remove it or root will they still replace my phone?

Again is the defintion I have place above seem like a bricked phone with no hope?

I always have read from the forums a bricked phone is dead, period! Will not let you login at all. Mine works gr8 until you try to the outside world like I said above the internet, sms/mms or use the phone. It won't even let me call *611 or check my phone messages. It will let me run the *228 fine though! Not making sense to me if it's bricked how can I run the *228 then?

Thanks and feeling the pain everyone is due to VERIZONS lack of updating there OS to 2.2!

I was promised as everyone else it would be released back in July now we are in August and looks like alot of people are bricking their phones!

Cheers,

azbobs
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flat4subie:
Hey bro, I am flashed baseband 2.05.00.6.11, my call settings are 310 as well, does not match the zip as I am in Houston (281,713,832) just thought I would let you know that looks normal. You didn't by chance flash the radio twice as o read it will brick the radio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkramm:
310 is the mobile country code not an area code and deff not a zip code (zip is 5 digits lol)

and there are diffrent "layers" if you will of bricking .. your phone still turns on so its not a brick yet... some people seem to have had issues with usb bricking where the phone would not communicate via usb (or be able to mount the sd card) and other people freaked out and pulled the battery during flash's and bricked there phones to not work at all ... sounds like verizon could be right though does she have an older phone ? there are directions to revert back to the old radio or you can wait for s-off
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbhines:
I'm not positive, but I believe that, because you've flashed the leaked Radio, you can't just use the PB31 file to downgrade or unroot anymore. I'm pretty sure you'll need to use RUU. I don't have time to find the threads, but they're plenty of them, it's an existing process. My advice, though? As always, read the entire instruction set AND the entire thread for potential pitfalls first. It didn't appear to be a process for those uncomfortable with ADB, etc.

Hi sorry for this noob question , but would like to know if thier is a way to have different tones for email notification and sms notification , this use to be a good feature in windows mobile
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jensradk:
Custom SMS ringtone

I signed up here, just to answer your question :-)

To get a custom ringtone for sms notifications, I did the following:

1. Get access to you sdcard (either by plugging it in usb to your computer, or installing ftpserver on device (i recommend SwiFTP)).

2. Get the mp3 you want as notification tone (which is what it's called).

3. Navigate to (or create) the /sdcard/media/notifications/ folder.

4. Put mp3 there.

5. Restart your phone (not 100% sure it's needed).

6. Go to settings -> Sound and display -> Notification ringtone, and select your file - it's probably in the bottom of the list

7. Enjoy!

8. ... let me know if it worked :-)

To change the e-mail notification tone, I think you need to do that in the e-mail app itself - but not sure, since I haven't tried it ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I prefer ringdroid, you can make a clip of the song you want and it's less manual. Set this as your default notification.

As far as email goes, it will default to what you've just set. There is an option within the settings menu (hit the home button within the client) and you can set this there (I think this wont override your other notification sound, I tested, but its 11pm here so I can't test the text message function to make sure that notification is still in tact. )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srinirss:
Thanks guys , will check these options and report
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMReuffurth:
That´s right. There you can change the notification tone for the incoming mails and set it to vibrate or not too.

[Desire General] eXDee:
I have a telstra desire a8183 which is running on the Telecom XT network - nationwide 850mhz 3g coverage, which has recently been upgraded to HSPA+ in many places.

But I cant break the slower 3.6mbps speed despite the 7.2mbps the desire claims.

I'm standing right by a cell site now. -63db and 25asu and here's the result:

Any ideas? This is with the 5.09 radio and leedroid rom. But the stock rom and radio had the same result.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
suggest you read up a but about digital comms. You will never ever see 7.2mbps unless you are in a lab with a cell transmitter all to yourself. There are 10s of reasons for this. contention, attenuation etc. I think the best you will see is about 4 - 5mbps if the cell tower is completely empty of other traffic and your speed test server is directly connected to the cell tower with no other links in between.

Otherwise, I think 3 to 4mbps is excellent result.
[Desire General] philje123:
The 7.2 mbps speed is the maximum theoretical speed the device is capable of i.e. in ideal conditions. You will never see that speed.

I use a 3G router at work and I have NEVER seen any more than 3.5 on that which too is capable of 7.2.

3 to 3.5 is very good really and is a pretty fast connection for a mobile phone really. The main thing that really is the killer with 3G connections is the latency... 3.5 may sound reasonable... but get 12 laptops connecting at once...
[Desire General] AndroHero:
Thats a foookin awsome speed for a mobile phone, you should be proud not putting it down lol ive neva had more that 2 or 300 kbs :mad: lol
[Desire General] dgattenb:
It's best to think of your home broadband... I get 5Mb on adsl .. I'm ment to get 25Mb LOL... but my line is copper hell .. so wont get up that fast !! same with 3G and H .... it may have an ideal speed .. but actual speeds are about 2Mb or less on a 7.5 link... so 3Mb is good...

happy surfing !!
[Desire General] zlayaa:
I've reached 3.9Mbs once (at 4 o clock in the night, outside and perfect weather conditions), usually mines down at 2.

If you want a stable and fast connection get a fiber cable. They're soo stable and I usually reach max speeds :)
[Desire General] eXDee:
Ah cheers guys. I didnt realise overheads + congestion were that huge on cellular. I know somewhere which would have VERY few people on it and is running both 2100mhz and 850mhz 3G. Might try a speedtest there sometime.

This mobile network is hardly congested i'd say, only been around for a year or so.

I have an ISAM cabinet 200m from my house - 21Mbps sync rate, 19Mbps actual speed :D

But approx $1.20 per GB for ADSL :(

I just managed 4.1Mbps with -59dB and 29asu to probably the least used speedtest server in the country at a guess. This is making more sense now.

Mobile data in NZ is rather expensive and very capped - im on a 512mb plan.
[Desire General] RandomDude:
Max ive had with my Telstra desire on Telstra's network was 4.14mbps down and 1.17 up. And this was a near empty in-building cell with 100mbps backhaul.

Not bad. I would actually say you will only achieve about 60% of the chipset's maximum speed due to overheads, air retransmissions etc
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
Just for information; made some tests with speedtest app on a cpl of servers, max download speed I could see was 4,6 mbit/s (my location Gothenburg/Swe, test server Aarhus/Denmark, it was 16:15 local time) and upload speed was appr 1 mbit/s, that was the highest speeds i hv reached by far.

He knows that I have a Google Nexus One, and he likes the voice input feature most.

For nexus one, there's a microphone button on Android keyboard, so it can voice input to any text box.

Since Galaxy S uses swype keyboard, does it support voice input still?

Thanks!

When I got to the station I hadn't at all the click had drifted 10 mins....freaky
[Streak 5 General] bigsro:
Should get my Streak later today so will let you know how it fairs in this regard!
[Streak 5 General] THJahar:
It's a bug/hardware fault.

if you pull out the power cable from the device it'll randomly add 15 minutes onto the time.

Other effects may include, setting the vibrate on and sending the device into a fit.

plus it may kill the vibrate mode as well so that the device doesn't vibrate until you receive a phone call.

the only solution I've found for the above problems is that you have to turn the power off before you unplug the phone.

I'm not sure if this is a permanent fix but I'm trying it for the next few days to see if it works, else the phone is going back.
[Streak 5 General] burstatron:
Mine has gained time once before, it is set to 'get time updates from cell'.

I think the cell may have been putting out a duff time because never seen this problem with internet time, or auto-update time off settings.

Not experienced the streak doing any of the weird vibro fit you describe either.

Maybe seperate issues?
[Streak 5 General] Dude1966:
Same here with both Streak's regardless what settings I use. Not very handy since I always use the alarm app. Design flaw....
[Streak 5 General] grizlore:
Yep, same here

Initially I thought it was to do with the fact that I had not set it to "internet time" (or whatever it is called). I was set on "O2 time" (or whatever it is called)

However whichever one it is on, I have seen this problem. Alythough saying that... have only noticed it twice and I have had my Streak since "O2 Day1"

Whether this happens more than I notice it does, and it corrects itself (?) I don't know.
