Check out "Fresh Froyo" thread under HTC Vogue. I think there's a link in my sig. The first post by DZO gives good instructions on how to build Froyo. You can also build gingerbread the same way but it never quite worked right. Scooter1556 built a good gingerbread from cyanogenmod but I don't know how to build that.
[General Questions and Answers] shaxs:
Is there the ability to video chat between an iPhone 4 user and an Android phone say the Sprint Epic? If not, will there be in the future? I am trying to convince my wife to leave ATT and go to Sprint, but her sister is having a baby (we live out of state) and she likes the idea of video chatting with her on matching iPhone 4s. Wanted to see if it was currently and option or an option for the future.
[General Questions and Answers] Goanna:
Well this is an older thread but being it's the first search result that comes up when you search for video chat here on the forums, I figured I would reply :).

Their are two apps that I know of that allow video chatting across different devices/networks.

[EVO 4G General] 5-6-ACE:
My phone died today and when I got home to charge it, I noticed that after pressing the sleep/power button, the screen turns off and then about a second later comes back on. It does this regardless of if it's plugged in or not. I took it into Sprint and they're going to give me a new one when they get their paws on some. Right now I'm just looking for ANY possible work around to the problem.

I've done a factory reset, added a pattern/code, and installed NO LOCK but nothing can keep the screen from coming back on after pushing the power button...

(I also had another problem with the phone, the camera has a HOT PINK tinge about 85% opacity. I can go without the camera for a few weeks until the new one gets here but any help with that is very welcome)

Mine had a similar problem when I was on 2.1 I would charge the phone overnight and at some point in time the phone would turn the screen on and not turn back off. Or sometimes it would sitting on my desk and just randomly turn the screen on. After I upgraded to 2.2 it stopped. I never could figure out what was causing it to wake.

Are you using ChoiceDialer+? There is a known bug where the screen will not shut off after making a call with ChoiceDialer, though a reboot does fix it.

hello guys is therre anyway to put a contact on homescreen with a picture of them like a app? so whn i press on it i could txt or call them. same like htc desire. any help would be great thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] james_2k:
long press.. shortcuts.. contact.. select person.

if they have a picture it will use it for the icon.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Hey... I think what you need is... a direct dial/ direct message for a contact

So here's how you do it

1. Longpress on the home screen

2. Select Shortcuts

3. Select Direct Dial or Direct Message - depending on what you want to do

4. Select the contact

and voila - you're done

What I have is a folder on my homescreen with direct dials of all the contacts I call frequently.. its very useful

Yes we sure need a radio without headsets,Maybe a dev should try this.Post on android development maybe you have more succes

Have you tought that maybe, just maybe there is a small chance that the aerial par of the radio is important?

[Desire Themes and Apps] jbaldwinroberts:
If the radio works with a 3.5mm adapter plugged in i.e. no wire/aerial, then we would know its possible to use the radio without the headphones as the aerial.

Would this be a good place to start because then we at least no whether it is possible????

like this

works great!!!!! XD

Hi there

Right now my Samsung Galaxy S wouldn't turn on.

Before this happened, I tried to flash DXJG4 on my device but ODIN got stuck at factoryfs.rfs for ages (more than 10 minutes). So I unpluged the device and took out the batterry. Then i inserted in the battery again and press Volume Down+Home+Power Botton (to get into download mode again). but nothing happens. Cannot even get anything to come up no matter what i press.

Im freaked out right now. Can somebody please help?

Edit : The screen comes back up now after a 30 minute darkness. phew!

Tried to flash again but still stuck at

Don't take your phone to the store... =)

Just try this:

- Remove battery+sdcard+power cord+everything you can

- Press AND HOLD the "Volume Down" + "Power Button" combination

- Count to 3 and say "Cú da velha"

- Ask someone to plug in the battery

Welcome to download mode... I hope =)

Hello guys.

I just have one very weird problem with my phone.

Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.

What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says

E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.

When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!

Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?

Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?

I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammuze:
hello all. wondering if any of you might be able to help me out.

i am using the cyanogenmod 6 nightlies.

i used ninjamorph to make a custom framework-res.apk so that i could have the transparent lockscreen morph and the grey status bar morph for froyo. every time i update my rom i have to reapply, obviously. it seems to work fine, i do get those things.

the weird thing is, every time i apply my custom framework (by re-finishing it from within ninjamorph) i lose all of my accounts. my google, facebook, and twitter info is gone and i have lost all of my contacts (which makes sense).

so my question is this: why the hell is it doing that?

my only thought, because this doesn't happen when you apply normal morphs, is that my error is in re-finishing the project every time. if this is the case, i change my question to "how do i actually do it the right way?" i was under the impression that ninjamorph let you actually build morphs initially, now that i see that it doesn't, how do i create a real morph out of my framework file?

p.s. i was told that the framework wouldn't change between cm nightlies unless they made a fairly obvious update to it, which seems to be true. i assume that something would break horrifically if i was using the wrong file. i know the framework-res file from my original work was not bad, i made it from rc2.

thanks in advance everyone.

Yeah Yeah we're going to be seeing alot of people with idea's on rooting, but as i have mentioned before i have found a file on the kernel for 2.2, in the files under security is list root_plug, i can post that whole file to be seen, but i have twice already, anyways i personally believe this could be the true exploit by somehow getting rid or through or blocking this file, now sure how dev's do it, but here's a link about root_plugs that explains how linux is doing this, i would hope this could help.

[EVO 4G General] rjmjr69:
If I am reading that right it would only work I HTC actually implemented that routine of securing root access. I get the impression if they used this routine or whatever its refered to then its actually there to prevent lower level access so no root?

and from one of your other posts there was an article linked that said this whole system of hooks was poorly implemented and not used anymore. But who knows Im probably wrong lol

I know this isn't probable, but would be nice if it were possible to say download the update persay to a pc, just delete those files and bamm it works to root, but yeah i know that's not possible, lol, makes me sad, but i can wait, just shocked it's taking this long, i do understand that they are hard at work on a root method, but would be nice to get some insight from dev's to see where they stand in the process.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sareen:
as above u can see im happy about getting my upgrade but upset that there is apparently no more sgs in the uk :S how can this be? i know its a good phone but i never expected there to be a waiting list (i was told this by t-mob) and that even other networks providers have asked them if they could buy any off them if this is true IPHONE WHAT!? lol i know its not a popular as i phone 4 but it seem samsung has got a winner here :) i really want to know what the sell figures are for the sgs cause it would be interesting to see as i think this could be the year for them as the the samsung pmp is coming out aswell as the samsung tab could they be the apple biggest rivals this year!? i hope soo

i was also wondering when i first get the phone what should i do!? and im not too confident in rooting :/ and dont want to do it yet and also should i charge the phone for 12hours? cause i read some here that i should use its straight from the box until it totally flat not once but twice straight after each other. what do u lot think is best?

Hi Guys

OK I know I am going to get a lot of complaints about not using the forum search but let me say that I did and I didn't find a post that consolidates all the sprint apps into one posting plus I am also looking for help on how to install them.

I have an HTC Hero and the rom I am running has all the sprint apps removed. I would like to have some of them on my phone (sprint nav, sprint nfl, sprint tv in particular) Does anyone know where I can get those apps and others.

Also how do I install them? I pulled the youtube app before removing it but copying the app over to the sd card and clicking on it from a file browser to install it yielded a "could not install" error message.

Technically no. They should have dealt with performance issues with a high volume of text messages. I work within software development, and something like this would most certainly raise a red flag.
[Desire General] Dr Doom:
Hey sorry to raise a thread from the dead.

My Messages app now runs extremely slowly - can take 5-10 seconds to load an SMS thread and sometimes lags when i'm typing a reply.

Sounds like other people have experienced similar issues. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? It's almost certainly down to having a large number of messages in the thread (over 3,500 from this one contact for reasons i won't go into!) but surely with a modern smartphone it should be able to handle lots of text messages! My iPhone with 2 years worth of messages had no such issues.

One other issue - for no reason whatsoever it somtimes jumps me back up to the very top of the thread of texts meaning i either have to spend ages scrolling down or back up and reload it go get it to show the most recent ones. Anyone else experienced this?
[Desire General] chichoko:
I dont have any issues with lag etc but i second the jump-to-top issue.. its happening once a day for sure and im sooo sick of it! Anyone knows anything?
[Desire General] Dr Doom:
So just as an update on my woes - my phone on Friday randomly wiped every single one of my text messages. I reset the phone but nothing came back.

Great.

On the plus side, messages is now running very fast. But seriously, a smartphone that can't handle lots of text messages (which are surely microscopic in file size) is just pathetic.
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
A person who can't be bothered to store extra messages seperatly is pathetic. There are apps to store/back up messages and if you are constantly referencing 2 year old messages you need help.

Just my opinion though.
[Desire General] Dr Doom:
I realise your comments aren't targeted at me but perhaps rather than just insulting someone's choices you could actually be helpeful and tell them the names of the apps you talk of.
[Desire General] stats101:
Not even going to bother addressing the insular comments. :rolleyes:

Hi.

I have a question kinda regarding the build quality of nexus one.

In my country, there's a large demand for android phones, and it has been quite hard in recent days to find a new nexus one.

A shopkeeper suggested me to buy a second hand nexus, and the price is good too, but he doesn't accept to give me the choice to return it if there were any problems.

The phone is in very good aesthetical condition and has no scratches.

I wanna know is nexus one of the phones with frequent problems of sensitive parts like battery, touch screen, etc?

If the build quality is low, and many of the phones have these kind of problems, then I wouldn't trust a person who is selling his second hand phone.

Thanks.
