The first case you linked is just no good in my opinion. First off its too loose. Your phone could easily just fall out of the case while talking on the phone. Its very annoying. Secondly the type of material used LOOKS as if it would be easier to grip but the opposite is true. The rubbery surface is actually really slick. Its more slick than using the phone without a case. Absolutely no friction when holding the phone.

I personally like this case A LOT. Its amazing

[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
To go back to the stock home screen, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications,

find ADW Launcher, click "Clear Defaults", then when you press the home menu, it'll give you a menu of like TimeScape, ADW Launcher, and Home. Click Home.

I have this one:

(look in amazon.co.uk, it seems I still can't post outside links)

I like it but the side buttons are a really hard to press. Almost impossible to adjust the volume with one hand while on the phone.

Now the first one you posted looks really nice. It seems to cover the side buttons as well but I like it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp43:
Now that we have CM6 RC3 available, I've gone and mounted my internal storage.

I didn't see any options in the Camera app to tell it to save my taken pictures / videos to the internal storage?

For now, I have a 2gb minisd card, I would like to use my internal storage which is mounted for now.

Any ideas on how to tell the camera app to use internal storage? We had that option before with the HTCCamera.

Update: after searching around a bit on the interwebs, turns out the camera app saves to your sd card. Not sure what happens once your sd card fills up, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Back to Windows Mobile:

If you need to reflash Windows Mobile, for whatever reason, these are my preferred methods:

I recommend using a Card Reader and MicroSD adaptor for working with SD cards, it makes life so much easier than relying on the kaiser to transfer and rename files, since most of us are used to handling files in Windows.

Method 1

1. Download a Stock shipped ROM, do not go crazy getting the latest custom 6.5 ROM, in my experience these often cause problems, if you want to go to Custom ROM's then flash stock first.

2. Extract the RUU_Signed.NBH file from the .exe, ( I use 7zip for this, but other archive utilities my work, winzip, winrar etc), rename the file to KAISimg.nbh and copy to the root of a freshly formatted SD card.

3. Insert the SD card in your Kaiser, pres and hold camera button while pressing power, ( you only need to press power briefly, but keep the camera button pressed until you see the tricoloured screen).

4. Once you get the tricolour screen, ( bootloader ), it should change to a grey screen with blue instructions, basically, press the power button and let it flash.

5. Once flashed, simply pull the battery/press reset and let it go through the first boot process.

Troubleshooting

Common problems with this method are that it will just not recognise the flash file, leaving you at the bootloader screen, this is usually caused by wrongly formatted sd cards, the card must be formatted FAT32. Other reasons are file name issues, make sure you have not accidentally mistyped the filename, or renamed it as kaisimg.nbh.nbh.

Method 2:

If Method 1 fails then the alternative method is USB flashing:

1. Disable Activesync, by unchecking the 'USB' option in Connection settings.

2. Remove the SD and SIM cards from the Kaiser.

3. Press Camera+Power to enter Bootloader.

4 Connect the usb cable, ensure that is says 'USB' at the bottom of the screen.

5. Flash the Stock ROM, usually by double clicking the downloaded stock ROM exe file, allow it to flash, and wait until it is finished before removing the USB Cable.

Troubleshooting

There are a few potential issues with this method also, if this method fails try another stock rom, the last shipped ROM from HTC was Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2, this is a generic stock 6.1 rom and should be compatible with most if not all kaiser variants.

Miscellaneous Notes.

Radio Version

Just as in Windows Mobile, Radio Version seems to play as vital a role on Android.

There are a number of problems that may be related to radio version, and just as in WM, the effects are sometimes surprising.

Audio: yes, just like WM the wrong radio version can cause audio issues, ranging from no audio, to more subtle issues such as call audio not working, even though all other audio events work fine.

Wifi: no surprise really, the radio stack controls wifi as well as the more common phone/network activities.

Data/Network: Obvious one, but there are a number of complicating factors here too, geographical location seems to affect radio version, for instance, in the USA, 1.71 radios may offer the best signal, and data rates, while in Europe, using 1.71 may cause a lot of 'No Signal' issues, where the phone seems to drop off the network, the solution is usually an older radio version, in the UK 1.65 seems the best choice for most users, I have also had reports of 1.65 being the best for South Africa, Asis, while Australia seems to do better on 1.70 or 1.71. This may be due to the technology in use in those countries.

GPS Maybe, not sure about this one, had at least one report that a radio downgrade from 1.71 to 1.65 seemed to help with GPS, as far as I am aware the GPS and the Radio stack are not related, but who knows for sure?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] CassandraN:
Not sure if this is a general dumb newbie question but I'm having it across different Android builds. Occasionally I have to reset the phone without shutting Android down. When I restart, any apps that were running at the time have to be uninstalled and re-installed because they now crash on startup (with a "program has stopped working" error.) Is there anything I can do about this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Not really a dumb question, however it depends how you are resetting, the reset button is a bad idea, Battery Pull is the preferred method, ( say it with me class, 'Battery Pull Good, Reset Button Bad' ).

However, why do you have to reset without shutdown? This often leads to data corruption, since the OS does not get a chance to synchronise properly before it closes, ( not that a battery pull should be any better, but for some reason it seems to cause fewer problems than resets).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Cookiekaikai:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] duke911:
This is just hilarious :D

BTW, I tried some of the reboot apps in the market, non of them seemed to work (on 2.1)

the original reboot menu that you get when you hold the power button did not work at all. it just hangs on the loading circle.

In Froyo however, things are a bit different. the reboot option shuts downs the device instead, I did not try any reboot app yet

Any ideas about this zenity?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] CassandraN:
I usually battery pull (I lost my stylus and the cheap replacement won't fit in the reset hole :( ), but I still seem to have problems.

I think my problems are due to a rogue app eating all the CPU. My suspicions are Twitter or Swiftkey. The phone becomes so unresponsive that sometimes a hard reset is the only way to make it useable again. I'll try to avoid it in future if I possibly can.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Tried taskiller? Useful for watching your memory, and killing tasks if needed, osmonitor is also useful for, well monitoring the os ;)

I have noticed that the system does get very unresponsive at times, and it usually means low memory, try an eclair build if you are using a CM6 based one, I usually get about 30+Mb free in normal conditions, and if things start to get too slow, well a tap on the taskiller widget sorts that out ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
@Duke911:

As far as I am aware there is no real reboot option, in any build, I think it's a kernel issue, or perhaps just not implemented correctly, the safest option is a power off, which performs a proper shutdown, I do know there have been a few issues with data corruption that may be associated with using reboot, or the reset button, since these may cause the system to shutdown to rapidly to sync any data that may be cached, it's similar to pulling an SD card out of the computer, there may be data left unwritten in cache, which is why there is a nice safe removal option ;)

hello..

I just want to ask about polymod and cyanogenmod.

what is the function, are they different from eclair or froyo?

thanks ^^
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
CyanogenMod builds are all Modifications of base android releases, these are complete rebuilds of the system, and include many improvements over the original release.

Polymod is an Eclair Mod based on OpenEclair 1.3 and is modded in a different way to Cyanogen's methods and style.

Most Eclair and Froyo builds are ports and modifications of Cyanogen bases, ( in fact I don't think there are any Froyo builds that are not CM6 based).

For Donut things are different, most builds are modifications and ports of official releases, such as Myn's Warm Donut.

One question it would be nice to a have definitive answer for:

USB support what works, what doesn't, how to get it going.

I have been trying to connect my kaiser by usb to either windows 7 or ubuntu host pc in order to transfer files to the sd card, use the debugger, and if possible share the internet connection from the pc to the phone. I can't find a good how-to for either of these tasks, nor a definitive answer regarding the possibility.

Answers for any one of these would be awesome in the FAQ.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ghghgh14702:
I have found, at least on super froyo, that unmounting the sd card then turning on usb storage seems to work, sometimes you have to click the button for mount for usb storage more than once. Still haven't gotten usb debugging to work though, that is what I really want to use as the android emulator is crap.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Thanks, and noobness is nothing to be ashamed of, I was, so was everyone else here :)

The warning about wiping the existing system during a Haret install refers to any previous installation you may have on the SD card, and is simply a warning. Haret cannot write to nand, and you can carry on the install safely.

The main problem with install guides is that they are often quickly outdated by newer techniques, as the process matures, and there are probably a few buried in the forum, but if they are not kept up to date they quickly become less and less useful.

My Polymod thread contains a mini install guide aimed at nand and haret installs of that build, and the build itself has all the files needed for both types of install, it should also be applicable to other builds.

I may attempt a more general Haret install guide of the type suggested, since I agree this is conspicuously absent from the forum at present, complete with a tried and tested set of basefiles that should work with most builds, I'll possibly work on that this weekend, time and real-life permitting :)

Finally, Welcome to the madness, hope you have as much fun here as I do :D

How do I Install to SD

It's been a while since I've been as I had a brief stint with a Captivate. Gps issue was a deal breaker, so now I'm back to my Tilt. Android installation used to be easy. I always installed on my SD card. Just put specific files in the andboot folder run haret, install system and you're done.

It seems things have changed in the couple of moths I've been gone. The ROMs seem to be missing references to files I've come to know - zImage and initrd. What do I have to do now to install on the SD card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Pretty much the same...

Look here for zImage, pick latest one in case of doubt.

http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=androidhtc/kernel-release.git;a=tree;f=2.6.32;h=8db25f9329fbd569c17797e09140672fa8ae5c72;hb=HEAD

You can set things up with atools, take a look:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=783514

Other than that... its pretty much simple... i usually don't use Haret and zImage, but the last BIG change... was androidinstall.tgz.

Put it in the andboot folder on your sdcard. When you lunch Haret, it will load the kernel and relevant files, and will say "press vol up or d-pad center to install"

Press it... and hold it... and you'll see a menu :)

Haret, zImage and initrd.lzma are all in the andboot folder. Andboot is on the root. It's a 4GB card that has about 2GB of free space, 1 partition, FAT32.

The version of haret I have is dated January 2010.

The last few lines before haret hangs are:

[ 1.198153] MSM RTC started

[ 1.201166] s5k3c1fx: probe

Glad it worked for u nsaia,

Now that Im selling my phone (so I have to restore it to factory defaults) I installed android over haret just to keep the habit! ( then I realized the benefits, was seling it for 100 bucks, now with dual boot and android on it, people got really interested and offered me 200!! :D) Im starting to realize that there's not a significant loss of either functionality nor speed using android over haret, I guess the problem with our beloved oldies is the amount of RAM and CPU capacity and not a slow data bus on the SD slot.... dunno if its a "placebo effect" but I feel it a lil more stable plus you have always the slow and unattractive but reliable option of booting to Window$ Mobil€, so haret is still a good n smart choise, well IMHO....

hi guys,

i am using my kaiser with android 2.2.2, NAND, data on SD card, kernel is 2.6.25.01111 (dirty).

the problem is my battery shows 100% when i remove from the power, but within hal an hout it goes to 15% and works for about 20 minutes, then the mobile just dies. no matter whatever keys i press it wont switch on, but when i connect it to power it starts up with 72% battery, again after 30 mins it dies.

I would like to know where the problem is (plz note there is no other % only 15 and 72) what can i do to rectify this? if this is how it is going to be then i have to go back to WM, but the problem is i love android now after using it for 3 days.
