and what's REALLY weird is when I just made the new icon on my phone, i accidentally used the SAME file I was using yesterday instead of the updated version... and it now has a transparent background. WEIRD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
ah yes i hear the auto detect doesn't work as well as one would expect. I'm glad you are sorted now :) Some advice would if you are going to do more of this in future, acquire a copy of Adobe Fireworks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
there's a ghost :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jirafabo:
never even heard of adobe fireworks, but you can be sure I'll be making more transparent background icons now! I had acquired a copy of photoshop but it takes up a lot of space and I've never really used it, so paint.net was good enough. I'll check out fireworks and maybe even look for some free online intro lessons.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wayferer:
i prefer it over photoshop, even for my day job :) let me know if you ever need a hand :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] LaZi3b0y:
I don't know if this is the right place to post, so sorry for any trouble i might cause.

Anyway i can't get past the loading when creating a custom match and can't load the second level in campaign mode. I'm just wondering if there are any fixes out there for this?

I have been googleing the problem for some time now and read most of the threads regarding warcaft 2 and hd2 games in general and all i can find is that i'm not alone about having this problem but no solution what so ever.

So, if anybody knows something i would appreciate the help very much :D

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ! twitty:
Ok so i am trying to install this boot animation and have questions. I am a noob so this is all kind of new to me. My hero is rooted and I have fresh 2.3.3 installed on it. There directions for installing this animation are as followed.

Directions:

1. Put the zip file in your tools folder from the android-sdk-windows

2. Load up Command Prompt (cmd) and go to your tools directory inside the android-sdk-windows folder

3. Load up your phone into recovery and mount /system

4. Type in command prompt

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

adb reboot

What does it mean on #2? I know how to load cmd but then how do it get to that folder and mount the system? I am so lost. I just thought i could plug my phone into the usb and load cmd and start the adb commands. How do i get this adb commands to work? I was also wanting to remove some stock apps from another thread which stated to just type adb commands but i get nothing. Can you please help me to understand this or atleast point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
#2 means navigate to your Android SDK / tools folder, wherever you installed it on your PC. At the C:/ prompt, type

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

or whatever directory it is for you. Then all the adb commands should work.

EDIT: Your phone has to be turned on for adb to work, and it's a good idea to have it in "Charge Only" USB mode so that there won't be any SD card conflicts.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ! twitty:
Awesome, thanks for your response. But then on the second part of my question where do i go to start typing commands for this one:

To remove an app from your phone you must have root access and type the following commands with SU access:

type:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Then type:

cd /system/app

then you can type "ls" to list the contents of the directory.

Where is it referring to "type" at? Sorry if i sound like such a noob but I am.

[Droid X General] soccerdon1981:
Umm...so, my friend just got a Droid X yesterday and he let me play around with it. I currently have an Omnia i910. I'm able to watch videos at Liverpoolfc.tv without a problem using SkyFire on my OMNIA; however, I went to the same site and tried watching the same video on the Droid X and it doesn't work.

So....wtf? I thought the droid was supposed to be a lot better than the Omnia? I'm thinking of getting the Droid in October, but if it can't even play the videos that my Omnia can play then forget it.

Anyone have any insight on this? I keep hearing about Droid 2.2 which I don't really know a whole lot about. Will Droid 2.2 fix the flash/adobe issue? Will that phone allow you to watch videos that older phones can watch?

HELP - and thanks for any answers you guys give. ...and before you scold me, yes I searched the forum, but couldn't find anything or anyone complaining about not being able to watch videos. :(
[Droid X General] Ang3lmack:
Android 2.2, froyo, has flash with it, when his updates it'll be able to play flash videos
[Droid X General] dr154:
question, did your friend skyfire browser on his phone when you was trying to see these videos or was it the regular browser?

i have the droid x and skyfire installed and i can watch videos off and regular youtube.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Did you try watching the video on the same browser your Omnia was using? Were you using the Skyfire browser or the stock browser?

And yes- when Android 2.2 is released for the X you will be able to watch video from the stock browser. If it ever gets released. You see -it really doesn't matter how great the device is- if you are running Android 2.1 or older -you won't have flash support. But there are some other things to consider...

Does the Omnia have a...

1ghz processor

8g on board memory

4.3in display

pinch to zoom

8MP camera with dual led flash

Capture HD 720p video

HDMI out

I myself am stuck on the HTC Imagio right now and would love to have a phone with these specs. There is always Skyfire until 2.2.
[Droid X General] soccerdon1981:
Ahhh....that makes perfect sense. Such a simple mistake. I use Skyfire to watch the vids on my Omnia. I was just using the regular browser on his Droid X. =)

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!
[Droid X General] michael_bolton:
I can watch video right off the daily show website now thanks to 2.2 with the stock browser. Droid x is the best phone out right now. Get it you wont regret it.
[Droid X General] Massgainer:
You can update with the leaked 2.2 right now so you'll have flash support. I'm running it and now the droidX is hands down the best android phone available imho
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
Hi, so I'm hoping to be getting my Galaxy S tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone knew of a relatively quick and simple way of transferring the data from my old N95 8GB to the SGS, stuff like contacts, texts, music and photos etc.

My main concern is the contacts and texts, as I can just use drag and drop to move photos and music but if there's a way to do it all at the same time that'd be great. I know you can use Nokia PC Suite to do it between Nokia phones, but I'm fairly certain it's not going to work between Nokia and Samsung
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
No-one know any way to do it then?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
For your contacts, export them to your N95 sd card (they go there as vcf in others/contacts), and then use "vcardio" from the market to transfer them to your galaxy. (you can first copy all the vcf's into one big one to avoid doing one by one - (copy *.* contacts.vcf.))

For your sms messages, use ovi suite first to back them up, then use nokia2android (http://www.simail.si/download/Nokia2AndroidSMS.7z) to convert that backup to an xml file, and finally use "sms backup and restore" from the market to load them to your galaxy.

For your music and photos...use your pc to move them :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
Don't need to convert them... on galaxy from contacts app the is an import contacts from SD card option. It will let you import the vcf files u saved on the Nokia.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
Excellent, this is exactly what I wanted, thanks very much. However, there is one teeny little problem. The SD card on the N95 8GB is built in and non removable. If I back them up to the mass memory (SD Card) could I then copy the .vcf files off onto my PC and then onto the SGS that way (I'm assuming yes, don't see why not)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
Correct, that's what I meant, and that's also why the method proposed above by lgkahn won't work in your case. Same story with the n97.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
Brilliant, thanks very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebue:
A little confused. When do I use this method; 'copy *.* contacts.vcf.'? After the transfer to the computer or during the transfer to the SGS? Is this typed from with the 'Vcardio' app or within window?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
It's not a method, it's just a command. You can put this in a batch file and run it on your phone, but here's the less complicated version. I'll write everything, if this is too basic for you I apologise, but I'd rather cover everything now in 10 steps:

1) Export all the contacts to the sd card (called mass memory on the N95 8GB)

2) Connect the phone to your pc in mass storage mode, and find the folder Others\Contacts. Select it, and ctrl-c

3) Open My Computer, find Local Disk C:\, and paste it there (Ctrl-V). Now you will have the folder Contacts in C:

4) Open a command prompt (Windows button + R, 'cmd' ). You'll see C:\Users\(your name) or C:\Documents and settings\(blah), depending on which version of Windows you use.

5) Type 'cd \' (without the quotes). You'll see a prompt C:\>

6) Type 'cd Contacts'. You'll have a prompt C:\Contacts>

7) Type 'dir' . If everything is there, you will see a list of vcf files.

8) Type 'copy /B *.vcf allcontacts.vcf' . Then exit from the command prompt.

Go back to the window with the Contacts on your PC, and you will see one file called allcontacts.vcf, that you just created, and which contains everything.

9) Connect your Galaxy S to the PC in mass storage mode and mount it.

10) Copy the allcontacts.vcf file from C:\Contacts\ to your sdcard/, and then after disconnecting your phone, use the VcardIO app to find the allcontacts.vcf file, load it on your Galaxy S, and that's that.

Now you can delete the folder Contacts from your C drive, or move it somewhere else just in case.

P.S. In the case of linux or a mac, the 'combining the vcf files into one' command, would be 'cat *.vcf >> allcontacts.vcf' , or 'fmt -sp *.vcf > allcontacts.vcf' respectively.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
I'm having a little trouble using the VcardIO app. When I click Import it starts importing the contacts, gets to about 95% on the progress bar and then just sits and does nothing, none of the contacts seem to be imported either
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
Interesting... I've tried it on 2 occasions now and it worked perfectly both times. Maybe there's a weird contact format it's getting stuck on? Maybe one with a big picture or some strange info? Take a look at the .xml file and check if you can spot anything out of the ordinary... *shrug*
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
I got fed up and did it the (really) tedious way, opened each .vcf in Kies and then transferred them over. Thanks for the help anyway
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyb255:
Just in case anybody searches for this thread, I found an easy way to do this.

My N95 screen was busted so I had no in phone commands.

1. Nokia PC Suite- backup contacts to nbu file

2. Used (website- can't link) tienhuis.nl/nokia-pc-suite-empty-contact-list-fix to create a .vcf file

3. Mounted SGS and copied across .vcf file to sd/

4. Used Contacts-Menu-More-Import/Export-Import from SD card

5. Voila.

I too had the issue with vCardIO stopping at 95%, but this way seems to work too.

Hey guys, I posted these settings in the main thread of darkstone, and it worked good for some, i'm making this thread to show the setting i'm using to conserve bettery.

I have been using Setcpu and advanced task killer combined and so far my battery life is amazing. I had the phone unplugged and fully charged at around 7 pm, used it for few calls and some gaming and also downloaded some apps, it was at 70% when i went to sleep at 4am, now it is 10 am and the battery is 66%.

You need SetCpu, you can get it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

And Advanced Task Killer found on market for free.

I thought I would share those settings hopefully they work for you guys too,

For SetCpu:

Main Tab: max 1113, min 245, ondemand, check set on boot

Profiles: 1- Screen Off, max 245, min 245, ondemand, Priority 100

2- Battery <25%, max 652, min 245, ondemand, Priority 0

Advanced: Sampling rate= 20000

Up Threshold= 35

leave the rest at 0's and check set on boot and apply.

For Advanced Task Killer:

Go to setting, then auto kill level chose "aggressive", and auto kill frequency set it to "when screen turns off"

I'm using radio 2.12.50.02_2 and stock Tmobile US ROM HSPL3

I hope that helps some of you.

Do you charge your battery in Android or in Winmo?

Battery life is keeping these from being fully usable. I can't make it through a full day, I have tried juice defender, set CPU (max fre 800, 245 w/ screen off), turning sync off. I always get at least 5% drain/hr at idle and obviously worse than that when I use the phone.

I am going to charge overnight tonight in win mo then boot android tomorrow morning and see if I can get through the day tomorrow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Notorious.Marwan:
I charge using android, and I have to agree the only thing we need now is a better battery life, thats why i've been trying all different kind of settings and this worked best.

lol yeah its strange that those settings work for some people and not for others, I guess it depends on the radio/ROM they have.

Ok let me know if these settings work for you.

I hade 11 hours down to 15% left of battery yesterday.. and I hade it on surfing by wifi and trying some new games and hade a lot video streaming through youtube the last 2-3 hours.

Before I couldnt last for more than 3-4 hours and the phone got very varm....so this i a start and a very usefull app to use!

If you want to extend it further turn of "data connection" at the point you know your not gonna use the phone for a while.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cezzarmicu:
@Notorious.Marwan, won't having setcpu at 1113 for both max and min be draining the battery more as opposed to having it at 1113 for max and 245 for min? or would the difference be not noticeable at all?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
Notorious.Marwan, those settings will not be very good for battery life.

You have max and min set to full clock speed...this is going to use a lot of battery power.

I am going to try this.....I was on Darkstones HD2Froyo without setcpu and batterly lasted only 6hrs maybe even less.......

Now i am using Mattc-NexusLeo_v1 build w/ the lastest kernel, used the default or suggested setcpu settings from one of the xda members and i am never at full 100% only 99% or 98% and gives me about 8-12 hours of batt life.

I will try your settings and report back in 24hrs with an update, thanks again for the info!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ceezytron:
Also too...Something that I missed at first...In the Advanced Task Killer settings...you have to ignore SetCPU or it will kill it when you turn the screen off and defeat the whole purpose.

Still ridiculous battery drain. 99%->93% in 27 minutes. Using mattc 1.5b.

I've tried the following:

-SetCPU

-juicedefender (data on only when screen unlocked)

-calibrate battery

-delete batterystats

Still need to try a class 2 card versus the class 4 the phone came with.

UPDATE:

I set my CPU main to "ondemand" at 94% within 30 mins I was at 74%. So I charged for about an hour back to 99% setcpu main screen back to "conservative"..

Today 8/21

- 5am - 99%

- 7am - 90%

- 730am - back on charger

-10am - FULL%

-11am - 95%

-2pm - 85%

- 3pm to 8pm, this is when i got locked up and sent to jail for 5 hours, soooo now I am at 59%

Sooo, in conclusion for mattc NexusLeo Builds vs Darkstone, keep everything the same except your main screen

I have found the best combination is Advanced Task Killer and Juice Defender. Don't even need Setcpu with the combination of the 2 above, meaning your build runs as fast as it can, even overclocked I can get easily 1 day out of it. Overnight drain is ~15-20%.

Is it worth it - in terms of speed, fluidity and no screen lag - to set the max value as 1113, instead of the default (998)?
