Hey

Facebook and the new Guardian anywhere app seem to take AGES to download content even when at home on my very fast wifi connection (speed tested at 8500kbps this morning on my phone).

The guardian app took over 2 hours to download 67mb of content this morning and 1/3 of my battery!!!

Is this a problem with the apps themselves or the phone. No one else on the app store is complaining about the guardian app...

Could it be the phone? Anyone else have these problems with app content taking ages?
[Vibrant General] cashless:
Most likely the app's dedicated content server. 9 times outta 10 content downlads fast over 3G, super fast over my 12mbps wifi.
[Vibrant General] c0d3x42:
Yep, i'm also experiencing the same problem on my UK Galaxy-S. over an hour to download and it eats the battery. Work's fine on the HTC Desire (2.[12]). I've tried to find out where the time is being wasted, from checking my proxy server's logs i can see the desire downloading images one after the other really quick, but the galaxy has pauses between each GET.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimjeeper:
Is there a Rom out there that is 2.1 and has the dialer like the moto droid? if not is there a way to swap them out.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CGriffiths86:
I'm pretty sure that the Moto Droid dialer is just the stock 2.1 dialer. You just need to grab a ROM that's not sense based. Id reccomend ErisLightningBolt. It's based off of Cyanogen 5 which is a tweaked version of stock 2.1

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimjeeper:
thanks i'll check it out, the dialer i speak of has call log , contacts, favs, up top and the keypad on bottom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeeem:
My old Nokia N95 had a feature that announced via the speaker the name of the person making an incoming call (provided name was in contacts). It was not brilliant and it had difficulty with some names (my friend doug sounded more like dog). However it was a good method of screening calls remotely especially if you are on the top a a ladder! Is this feature available on my HTC HD2 (virgin mobile) ?

New to XDA apologies if this has already been covered
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R12SRW:
I am sure MS Voice command will do that. You can download the cab from here http://www.energyroms.com/Addons/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeeem:
ms voice command

Thanks R12srw - does ms vc work out of the box or are there still bugs with it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravindra9:
jeeem, you will be disappointed to note that there are still bugs reported with MSVC, however you can be glad that it will be announcing the respective incoming caller's names / numbers.

If you havn't installed the .cab yet please note 2 things:

First: during installation, you will be prompted (and WARNED!!!) to install the MSVC on your device instead of the storage card. It actually doesn't matter even if you install it on your storage card instead of device, so install it at your desired location. (I prefer to install it on the card as I am extremely miser to save every bit possible, on the device!!!).

Second: After the installtion, you will be prompted with a WARNING saying the installation was UNsuccessful. This is BUG!!!. Ignore it. Restart and enjoy...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeeem:
Hi Adamo86,

Did you ever get MSVC to work?

Jeeem
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravindra9:
Jeeem, MSVC does work, and as I mentioned in my last post to you, you have to install in accordingly. However as you mentioned in your reply, it seems you are not able to get it done, which to me it appears you might not be having teh APPROPRIATE VERSION or the correct .CAB file. Should you wish, I can mail the correct working cab on your email.
[Captivate General] ipxnsv:
Outgoing messages work fine. Any thoughts?
[Captivate General] th3me4tshield:
Did you just get your captivate and re-up your contract with Att? When I got mine the Att guy forgot to move over my SMS plan and I also had to call Att after the fact since something messed up in their systrm that prevented me from sending or recieving texts.

Might be worth a shot to call your carriers customer support.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
I had issues sending and receiving texts. I called AT&T, and they admitted to having messed up my texting plan when I came over from LG Xenon and cancelled my $5 for 200 text option. They had to enable my free pay as you go text plan option, and I was able to text just fine after that. Why they would disable the free option in the first place is beyond me.
[Captivate Android Development] mimocan:
Can anyone send me the dump of the block device bml7?

how to:

you need to have root on your device

adb shell

su -

dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/bml7.dump

after getting this I will work on porting my ext4 fix to captivate.

thanks,

Has the dump been provide to Mimocan so that he can work on Captivate Kernel?

Just wanted to know what the status was. I didn't even know he was on this. Nice of him to offer us some help. Lets get him what ever he needs so that we can get that Mimocan fix done on the captivate. at least with the right kernel, other devs could upgrade it with additional mods. Yeah Baby!!!!

Hey guys, i ordered two HDMI cables from this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-HDMI-Male-To-HDMI-1-4-Cable-for-Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G_W0QQitemZ320547178537QQihZ011QQcategoryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i plugged them up and tried to run some Futurama from my phone to my TV. plugging in the HDMI i get the notification in the status bar, but as soon as i hit play on a video the sound plays on the TV, but i get no video and my phone locks up. the only way i regain control is by pulling the battery and restarting.

what am i missing??
[EVO 4G General] b0xii:
This happens to me as well. Happened occasionally w/ first OTA and now using CM6 nightlies as well.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
i tried it three times in a row. same result every time. could it be something wrong with the OMJ 2.2 froyo rom i'm running?
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
What format is your futurama encoded in?
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
it's an MP4 that i encoded with HandBrake to the EVO's specs
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
What Brand/Model TV do you have Also If your using Netarchy's kernel for 2.2 HDMI out is broken till HTC releases the Source for 2.2

Doh! thats it then. i'm running the netarchy kernel. damnit. oh well. i'll keep chillin' until a fix comes out. thanks!!:cool:
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
You should try the cable on a stock kernel as well. I ordered a cable from ebay as well and it froze my phone. Bought a molex cable and it works fine. There was a bad batch of the gold plated ones I hear, I guess you get what you paid for lol.
[EVO 4G General] bradleyw801:
It seems Molex is the only manufacturer of these Micro HDMI cables that is legit. I wouldn't buy one unless it's made by them.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
the two i got work just fine. no issues at all
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LordPando:
Hello everyone, I immediately apologize for my English and if I wrote in the wrong place.

I have a Nexus One (Vodafone) that I've recently rooted with the dolomiti's guide (without losing warranty). After trying for a few days cyanogen 6 rc2 I wanted to restore the backup created with Rom manager before wiping and installing cyano. Unfortunately the recovery freezes every time at "restoring data" in a file named "event_data:lotsofnumber.txt". I need to remove the battery to restart the nexus that after rebooting starts with the stock frf91.

I tried several times but always crashes at the same point ... anything I can do?Is there a chance to complete my backup?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kunacs:
I have the same issue, and got no troubleshot.

If I do a backup it stops saving a data_event"numbers".txt

Can anyone help in this problem, actually i can't do any backups or restore them
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kunacs:
I have fount the solution change the kernel the problem is the CWR type, i got an older siyah kernel ....10 and it works.

I used to use fring with skype but now that skype banned them from using it i dont have any other method of chatting with my family when i am away. Anyone have a solution to this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
No ways as of yet, unless Fring or Qik get desktop apps or Skype gets a native Android app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeyo:
you can do this with sipdroid...much better quality than fring...although, you need a gv number or sipgate number to pair with sipdroid (PLUS -there is a small monthly fee to add videocalling to pc via a pbxes account) ...just google sipdroid for videocalling and you can watch a video of how it is done on sipdroids homepage. this can be done over 3g,4g or wifi ...seems to be much better quality than video streaming of justintv, qik or than fring was
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masbirdies:
Yes,

Imovicha (Movicha) works very well from EVO to PC or EVO to another phone. I use this to communicate with a number of our PCs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adeyo:
better quality?

I just tried out imovicha for the first time...is there any way to get the quality of the video seen on the computer to be good? mine is really blocky and wont show on cpu bigger than about 3 inches by 3 inches??!!! Video skype through fring (when it was available) was much better quality.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I think there was a skype app in one of the magnus cyan upgrades in the theme section. I tried one once and it wasn't for me so I flashed over it. I thought awhile ago that someone ripped out skype and another app or two out of a verizon droid. I don't remember if it worked but I remember that you had to have the o they apps with it or it wouldn't work.

Has anyone tried Movicha for the Evo yet? It's got pretty bad reviews so far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jguy:
Just tried movicha. It sucks imo. Doesn't send video.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
I don't know. Just checked out their site. It says there is a subscription fee, but makes no mention of how much it is! Guess you have to install the pp to find out.

Also, their FAQ says it does not support video from the phone on Android - you can see somebody on their PC, but they can't see you!!

If this is true what good is it???:confused:

"I tried to place a video call to a friend who was using an Android. How come he can see me, but I cannot see him?

Right now Android supports receive only video."
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrigham:
I have downloaded Movicha but haven't actually tried it yet. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a version specifically for the EVO. You have to search the market for "MovichaForEVO".

EDIT: Just tried it between my PC and phone... video from phone to PC kinda sucks on 3G but otherwise it does work (will try it over 4G when I'm at work Monday to see if video quality is any better)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibs679:
It seems to make calls ok, video quality on the PC from my Evo was HORRIBLE though, the GUI is kinda meh, dont have sound or cam on pc (sitting at Sprint..cant really expect too much lol) to test that. All in all, its a step in the right direction, but certainly fails as a whole package. Ugly as hell basically....just wish I had gotten my evo before Fring issues to test skype with my gf on her laptop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
So, did you have to pay? If so, how much???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gibs679:
no, never once asked for anything but a name and an email. I sure as hell wouldnt be paying for something like this though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabrutus:

You're the best. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] zzkamikazezz:
Great, thanks for this!

If only I'd seen it before muddling through the new contacts screens for hours getting it to work it would have saved me a lot of time.

Only comment is that step 3:

"go to the "search contacts" search bar and just enter one SPACE and then press enter."

Doesn't seem to work on the new gmail contacts screen, when I do this search it just takes me to the my contacts page. I had to click 'older contact manager' link at the bottom of the screen and then do the blank search. Also step 4, with the new interface you don't get the middle columns. Any ideas on how you'd sort the contacts with the new interface? I'm not sure how long the link to the old contacts manager will be around for...

Thanks for taking the time to draw this up. :D
[Vibrant General] 1freedude:
Another great "clean up" tool is Merge contacts. After updating my Treo contacts into gMail, Find dups was not enough.

Merge is more of a manual action, but it is great to look at the entire list to see whats going on.

At the same time, "groups" is another manual action that can help organize "YOUR" (good list) contacts. At times, I had contacts lists from other peoples PDAs and phones on my treo (mine was reliable, theirs', not so much, so when they crashed and lost their contacts, i could beam their list to them).

Hope I helped someone
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Anyone know how to get facebook pics to show up for contacts? When I first got this phone all my contacts who are on my facebook had their pics synced up. Not anymore though, and idk why. Fb still syncs in the updates column but not their pics.

Anyway, thanks for the guide.
[Vibrant General] johnnyh64:
The way I found that works is to follow the above instuctions (other than that I kept both the gmail friends as well as all my facebook friends and then chose to display only those with a phone.) You can then go through each contact without a photo and click on it (the one without a photo). This is the gmail contact, choose "link contact" and the Facebook contact comes up (note that this method assumes that your favorite contacts are also on facebook with a photo, if not you will need to get your own picture with your phone or camera). Again, this is assuming you have your contact as a facebook friend AND a gmail email friend.

I hope this makes sense. Good Luck
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Hey, thanks for the comments. Yeah... The new gmail changed this guide and I need to update it. Will try and work on it soon. If you guys can keep making recommendations that would be awesome.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
Do you know of a way to *remove* all SIM contacts on the phone? When transferring from my old phone I dumped to SIM and then loaded onto the Android device, then I dumped that to a CSV and merged it with gmail. That got things sorted out on the gmail end, however I now have a bunch of redundant SIM contacts.

Even if you uncheck SIM contact visibilityin the contact app, they do still exist, and they show up elsewhere. So far I've seen no way to actually get rid of all of them easily, short of manually removing them one at a time :(
[Vibrant General] dwente:
I also like using the app "Contacts clean-up" to auto format all the numbers up be consistent. ;-)

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Jeremy, did you see if there were duplicates on the pc within gmail?

[Vibrant General] s15274n:

Thank you guys!
[Vibrant General] badazyelaboi:
Remember the days?

Did anyone else make a complete different Phone list within google contacts, and only use this list as the list for your phone? This was on my G1.

I'm trying to figure out why we can't do that anymore. Kinda sucks
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
No dupes in gmail itself, just the dupe sim contacts. Gmail did a good job handling the dupes that I had in my gmail account.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massiv:
Hi hope someone can help. Over the weekend my TD2 started playing up. All of the hardware buttons apart from the on/off button have stopped working. I also notice that if I turn the screen off with a short tap of the on/off button, after a few seconds it comes back on again. All touch screen functions are ok. It also appears to be draining the battery very quickly, to the extent that fully charged at bedtime (no bluetooth or wifi on and a stable 3-4 bar signal) it will be comppletely drained by morning. As far as I am aware the phone has not gotten wet at all.

I have also re-installed the office HTC rom, which made no difference

Any ideas??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
So you reinstalled the stock rom and did a hard reset?

You can try Tarkim's Keyboard controller and see if your hardware keys can be mapped to a different function.

That would help eliminate hardware vs software issues.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daanbrok:
I have the same problem. Also my backlight keeps working and won't go off. Can't perform a hard reset because my volume buttons(and all other hardbuttons accept the on/off) aren't working.

Searched for the solution but can't find it anywhere. Who can help me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Try clear storage app to HR.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daanbrok:
Thanks for your reaction.

Yesterday I managed to put an official ROM on my phone.(latest from HTC site).

Problem only got worser. Phone gets complety stuck(directly after boot) in the volume screen. Sometimes its flashes back to the normal screen but only for 1 second. Buttons still aren't working so can't do anything with my phone right now( not even the hard reset methode you told me).

Started to think that this is really some hardware issue. Can't remember that water got in my phone or the phone felt really hard. Any solutions maybe?

Otherwise I think I just go to the store.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
One last thing you can try is a Task29 explained here.

Use your official rom (right click on .exe and extract the RUU_Signed.nbh and place in task29 folder, then connect device in Bootloader mode and run the Task29.exe. Follow the instructions in the link.

Please if you post in here do not just post saying that app is no good i think this one is better.

If you think that then tell us a bit about the app and a link to the app so we can all have a look, otherwise it will be pages and pages of wasted posts.
