[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SamJolly:
Thanks for this... Useful

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

So my options are:

1) GPRS/EDGE with email used sparingly

2) TP2 with Wifi

Also I guess I cannot purchase a local SIM since my phone is a VF. Having said that I am not sure that VF have locked it. So perhaps purchasing a local PAYG SIM may be a cheap option????..... or go on hols properly and stay away from the mobi :)

Thanks,

Sam
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SamJolly:
Thanks all.

Returned from US. All worked fine, now waiting for my bill! No 3G though of course.

Can anyone suggest an FM modulator that doubles as a charger? If there is a car mount that would be even better.
[Vibrant Accessories] Relikk356:
This one doesnt look qaulity; has anyone used this?

[Vibrant Accessories] QuakerWildcat:
Samsung should be embarrassed if this is what we're forced to consider.
[Vibrant Accessories] Relikk356:
That’s how it is for every non IPod device. There are a couple Jabarra's and a Motorola out there but they don't have a charger for the phone.

I did purchase a non Bluetooth FM transmitter from Wal-Mart today for $30; seems to work decent. It has a digital reader to tune in the station and a USB port to charge your USB device. Since I've never heard a Bluetooth transmitter I really couldn't tell if there is quality difference. The sound on this plug in device seems to be about FM quality; which I assume is what you would expect.

Very similar to this device (same brand) but it has a USB port for charging and is cheaper ($30). IT’S IN THE AUTO ELECTRONICS SECTION. I also purchased a Scosche universal cup holder mount that was discontinued for $10. Seems pretty awesome for that price, but it's also my first one. Will tilt and go into turn into landscape. I got lucky with the power button as it's just out of the way enough to still be used comfortably. Sorry can't find a pic.

Does anyone else notice a hot spot on the back of their ex? While listening to slacker in a challenging network environment, the back lower corner heats up quite a bit. (search button corner of phone on back)

I want to say that it gets hot enough that the phone starts to act sonny, but I not completely sure.

Yeah I believe that is where the 3g radio is. If I'm nit on wifi and streaming pandora mine gets really hot as well

Hi I just recently traded my BB9700 for this mytouch slide. I know the update is going through the 4th to the 19th but wanted to know if this unit got the update yet. I forgot to ask the previous owner. So is there a way to check on the phone if I have updated slide or not? Thanks.

[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
Any way to change the stock gray faceless icon for contacts with no pic in droid? TIA
[HTC Aria General] ioft:
Are you using the stock rom or did you flash CM or another?
[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
Stock ATT Rom - icons suck in this rom...
[HTC Aria General] woodsytattooman:
Go to your contacts select edit contact then hit the camera icon at the top left and use any photo on your phone for that contact and hit save.
[HTC Aria General] DPLOY:
I want to change all the contacts that use the stock icons - not one at a time. Too may.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Asterdroid:
So I've been messing around with NinjaMorph, and I can't get it to work properly.

I've been trying to edit a widget (Touchdown universal widget), and edited the .png files, but it doesn't work after I repackage it whether it's zipaligned or not.

I'm sure I'm missing something here, so hopefully one of you can give me some advice.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Asterdroid:
Anyone? (10 chars)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mixedlemon:
I was having the same problem, I fixed it by using my PC to sign the apk after ninjamorph applied the changes.

If it says "application could not be installed" when you try to install an apk the signature is probably broken.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Asterdroid:
Can you recommend an application for signing apps?

-Sent from your mom's phone.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] crappypunk:
droid explorer also signs apps.. and ninjamorph is amazing btw.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ghostrida:
I believe NinjaMorph will not work with apps downloaded form the Market, atleast thats what Stericson sais in his description.

What I have been doing is self signing and making sure to uninstall the app before re-installing the modified version. here is what i do after i modify the apk.

[highlight]note: your going to need all the sdk tools and necessary binaries.[/highlight]

1. Delete the META-INF folder

2. Jump into the working folder (the one containing res/ etc.) and zip it up

$ zip -r my_application.zip *

3. change zip to apk

$ mv my_application.zip my_application.apk

4. self-sign

$ jarsigner -verbose -keystore my-release-key.keystore my_application.apk alias_name

5. zipallign

$ zipalign -v 4 my_application.apk my_application-aligned.apk

also, to generate keys if you dont have them yet, issue this command.

$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
[Droid Incredible Accessories] droidiac13:
I have tried three different headsets on two different Incredibles and the music skips when walking or running when listening to music on the headset. Has anyone else had this happen and is there a fix?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kentoe:
Might defeat the purpose but use the headset blocker widget in the market. Just search "Headset blocker" and put the widget on one of your homescreens then activate it.

It may defeat the purpose of saying commands and such, but it should let you listen to your music without problems.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] douger1957:
I have the same problem with my Motorola H9s. That was with my Blackberry Storm.

After much searching on the internet, it seems the position of the source is important. I get a minimum of skipping if I carry my phone in my back pocket.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] veli69:
I had skipping before I had to keep the phone above my waist to avoid it.but it was better indoors
[Droid Incredible Accessories] droidiac13:
same here. if i keep it above my waist it works better. doesn't seem right though!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Grikshanks:
If you are running a 2.2 rom, there seems to be some issues with bluetooth in general for the leaked build. My friend has had problems with music stuttering in his car connected thru the Sync thingie, and said there were a bunch of reports of shoddy bluetooth connectivity.

Just something else to consider.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dcmovin:
I've been curious about this myself (if there's a bluetooth issue) - I have a motorolla t505 in the car, and bluetooth to it has been flaky to setup since SR2.5 and there have been random skips during playback.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] droidiac13:
I truly think it is a bluetooth issue. I'm on stock 2.1 and it has occured on two seperate phones and I have also tried 3 seperate headsets. Of course HTC says they have never had this problem.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Grikshanks:
Its not just Htc, friend runs cm6 nightlies on droid 1 and has bluetooth issues. I haven't looked into it much because I don't use bt, but he was saying there were lots of people having problems.

Not that that's necessarily what's going on here, however.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bbetz818:
This is typically a headset issue. I have the moto s9's and the skipping happens when a good line of site to the device isn't present. Kind of defeats the purpose if you have to hold your phone while using the headset. I have noticed though that single mono headsets dont have this problem when running the audio apps.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] RKight:
I ran across this thread while trying to find a similar thread about the Samsung Captivate. I had the same issue and was going to post what I did to fix it. I'm sure the problem is phone-specific, but I figured I'd post it here anyway. I use my Motorola S805 headphones with my Captivate at work on a daily basis. I typically leave my phone on the charger and stream music through Rhapsody via my 3G connection (unlimited, thankfully...we don't have wifi at work). I regularly walk up to about 40 feet away from my phone, with no skipping or sound-quality issues whatsoever. I had a lot of issues with skipping when I first got the phone, and I figured out what was happening. If I leave WIFI turned on, but I'm not connected, the music skips. If I'm connected to a router, it doesn't. I believe the phone was polling for WIFI connections every so often and possibly causing a CPU spike or something similar. If I'm out of WIFI range, and simply turn my WIFI off, my music will play great all night long.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zaybertamer:
I noticed that when I switched to CM 5 (up from RA 1.6.2) my LED stopped blinking for all notifications. This was with several 2.1/2.2 ROMs: CM 5.0.7/8, SpeedTeam Froyo, CM6 FroyoRedux, Chromatic 4.3. HOWEVER I just, in the middle of writing this, noticed that my LED works, including all the colors in Handcent, when the screen is off.

Glad that they do work now (or did, and I never noticed it), but is it possible to make the LED work when the screen is on?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] OJ in Compton:
Hello,

I'm just wondering if anyone who did buy a battery directly from google could provide a picture of the box and the battery itself? Is the part number on the box supposed to match the part number on the battery itself?

Also, the battery I got with my phone says part number 35H00132-01M. Is a battery with 00M at the end from a different batch or is it a fake? Most of the images of batteries I see on ebay say 00M which is why i'm curious.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] jbrinkley:
I have two with 00m and one with 01m. I don't know about the boxes. These were bought from google. I don't know which came when but one is from january and two are from june.
[Nexus One Accessories] OJ in Compton:
Thanks.

Are there any obvious differences between non-authentic batteries that are made to look like the OEM ones? Font, sizing, shape etc. I'll find out when the battery gets here I suppose.
[Nexus One Accessories] espeanage:
I didn't buy a spare battery directly from Google but off of someone on Amazon who had a genuine battery. So I have one that came with my phone and a spare battery with the part number being the same which is P/N: 35H00132-00M. The serial numbers are different though.

I have never really cared for any of the pre-made taskbars available. Don't get me wrong, they are great work, but I wanted my own.

I was able to take elements from here and elements from there and put together one I liked.

I never published it because it really was not my work.

That was then (MR1)

Now with MR2 it just doesn't work.

It installs OK, but strange things happen. My battery icon doesn't change. The sound icons are gone althogether.

What I really don't understand is that both VZW MR1 and MR2 are WM6.5

I have attached the taskbar that I was using. Hopefully somebody can tell me how to get this working with VZW MR2.
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
Guys,

Any way to make this a reality? Currently, although gv text is checked as default, it isn't fully. For example, when swiping in the tw contacts lists, or when using vlingo's "text" command, samsung's text app comes up.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
in for an answer.
[Vibrant General] ELFungi:
I haven't found a way to get Vlingo to use Google Voice to text yet, but sliding on the contacts does support Google Voice. The very first time you slide left on a contact after installing Google Voice, it'll ask you which app you want to use, GV or the built in SMS. You can check "Use this action for default." and choose GV.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
I want group text with GV.

I want MMS with GV.

I want contact history with GV.
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
Could have sworn tw contacts couldn't do gv text as default, but it can. So that leaves vlingo. Probably hard wired in the app.
[Vibrant General] ELFungi:
So do a lot of GV users, but what we have is what it is for now. All we can hope is for future support. For people who really need those features, they just have to pay for their carrier's texting plan.

I think this too. Hopefully they will add support in a future update.
[Droid X Accessories] sephtin:
DroidX on (back-)order. Coming from the iPhone to the DroidX (will be SO GLAD to be off of ATT!). The one thing I'm not sure I'll be able to live with regarding the droid, is having to carry around headphones seperately. :S

I am a HEAVY Pandora/Last.FM/(etc.) listener...

Does anyone know of cases for the DroidX that will hold headphones? Example from the iPhone:

(Ughh, can't post links. to see example, go to cyberguys dot com, and search for "wrap case iphone").

Perhaps another option would be to find a pair of a2dp phones or something that are convenient to carry some other way. :S But not the same. Any suggestions for good stereo bluetooth headphones with a mic for the phone?

Anyone have suggestions or thoughts regarding solutions to make the transition to DroidX easier? :)

TIA!

*Note: ughh, I'm a new member, so I can't post links.
[Droid X Accessories] Anthonok:
Im doing the same thing but i came from iPhone to the samsung captivate and then returned that to go for the droid x. Mine isnt supposed to come til the end of the month so its gonna be a long wait til then haha. As for a case that could hold headphones im not sure BUT maybe if there is like a side holster case for the Dell streak the extra space might be able to fit some headphones in it. (not exactly sure how much larger the streak is as a awhole though)
[Droid X Accessories] myth123:
You should try grooveshark too while you're at it.
[Droid X Accessories] sephtin:
Grooveshark is AWESOME!

I have found it wonky sometimes though. When going through a playlist, sometimes songs are unavailable (?), and it just stops playing...

Only happened a couple times, but I have only created one punk/ska playlist, and keep going back to it...

Now, just need a way to listen to it from work (via headphones)... preferrably without having to keep my headphones loose in my pocket. :S If only someone made a case that holds the headphones... ;)
[Droid X Accessories] tankyard:
The Motorokr S9-HD is an excellent stereo bluetooth headphone that also has an embedded microphone for phone calls. The sound quality is great for listening to music, and phone calls are clear on both ends of the connection. Just my $0.02...

Ok, so what I take from that post is that it will increase the general speed of the device, as well as possibly save battery by "underclocking (if you will)" the SD card controller and increasing the efficiency of the task scheduler? Awesome.

My phone doesn't run well @ 768 so I reinstalled setcpu and took it down to 710. Is this ok to do?

I ran linpack at both settings and I barely get over 3, on DD2.7 I was getting around 5. I did notice linpack has been updated since I ran it on DD, maybe that's the difference?

Quadrant is steady @ about 400.

disabling the tweak, so when the battery tweak repolls the settings, it doesn't revert your manual changes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] customyota:
Hey guys, I have a question that hopefully someone will be able to help me out with. When I first flashed RC1, and immediately after flashing the uncapped kernel #8, running cpuinfo showed that I was running at 688 MHz and I got a linpack of 4.7 and a quadrant score of about 430. Now, after I flashed battery tweak, regardless of whether I select 768 or 691 defaults, cpuinfo shows about 590 and linpack and quadrant have gone down to 4.1 and 400. What gives?

Is there any way I can remove the battery tweak so i can try setcpu or overclock widget instead or is it ok to just disable it?
