Yeah, I'm less than 3 miles from the tower, and it still happens. Yesterday the tech, who was extremely nice, had me change something in the SID, which seemed to help. After about 30 mins though, I could tell it hadn't.

So she is escalating me to tier 2 tech support.

I am in an Alltel area, that isn't being bought by Verizion or At&t. At home, I am pretty sure there is an Alltel tower within a couple miles of me, and at work, I'm closest to the Verizon tower. Neither works really. I'm bouncing between 1x and 3g, full signal to no signal, etc.

All app inventor apps get an ugly default icon on the phone.

Can that be changed and if yes would you explain how?
[Android Software Development] WACOMalt:
currently no, that can't be changed. The developers say they will add it.

I only bring up this old thread to answer the same question I had.
[Android Software Development] chaostic_2k1:
Have you worked with the packaged app to see if that's true? The way an apk is made, the icon is a standard png file. Couldn't it be changed by editing the apk, then resigning it?
[Android Software Development] MacaronyMax:
Just what i was thinking open it up add your icon zip it up and sign it then your all goood :D ;)
[Android Software Development] Schimmerlos:
I used Apk Manager for this - worked great!

I have a 3rd party charger purchased from Korea that triggers ADB whenever I connect my phone to it, and somehow, I do not get the sudden % drop if I disconnect my phone after it's been done charging for a while.

I've done this a few times with the HTC charger included, and I always get that quick drop, but not with this 3rd party charger. Anyone has any idea what triggers that ADB mode?
[Desire General] al89nut:
ADB? Can you deabbreviate?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I presume you mean that the phone just flashes up a notification that USB debugging is enabled? Normally, you shouldn't see this when plugged into a charger, and I presume that it has something to do with how the cable is wired up.

Dave

I find the dedicated clients to be tolerable but not that reliable. The gtalk apps seem to not update status properly and the yahoo app seems to drop connections without warning.

I am looking at apps like mundu and im plus. The yahoo and gtalk dedicated apps supposedly have push technology does anyone know if the above mentioned services use push technology?

Any other recommendations would be appreciated.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
My favorite is 'ebuddy' (totally free). It's an all-encompassing IM app that supports nearly every protocol. Check it out.

If they ever release a client, Beejive (pronounced 'Bee Hive' for whatever reason) is probably my favorite thing in the entire world on the iPhone. Hopefully, Android's market share convinced them to port it over.

Hello,

after cooking my first i8000 lite roms, i want now to cook in several apps and maybe sense 2.5. After reading the whole night in the forums i learned that there are several ways to convert a cab file: to an OEM or and EXT package... but what is the difference? OEM works with provxml and EXT with app.reg? So the only difference is the way of installing to the rom?

thanks a lot :)
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
OEM are flat packages (meaning that all the files and modules are in the root level of the package). EXT packages are multilevel packages, as they have the root folder and in the root is reg (app.reg) and initflash info (app.dat), along with another folder with all the common (non lang dependant) files ("files" folder), as well as a lang folder (0409 for WWE). Reg in OEM is .rgu extension, and reg in EXT is .reg extension, but both are ultimately cooked in the same location -- hives. OEM dy defination includes .dsm files which is simply package info not generally considered necessary for the function of the rom. EXT may or may not include .dsm, but is typically not reguired in an EXT package. provxml is no different in OEM or EXT, as provxml entries are not cooked into hives, they are implimented on first boot. Some kitchens use EXT, some OEM, and some kitchens use both. Before platform rebuilder came along, everything was OEM.
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
simply said:

EXT = OEM

but:

EXT - doesn't need dsm file (OEM neither, when using platformrebuilder-based kitchen)

EXT - all files except parts for initflashfiles.dat and hives are in files folder

EXT - instead of <guid>.rgu is app.reg in main folder

EXT - instead of initflashfiles.txt (used in BuildOS) is app.dat in main folder

so all in all, it is just simplified OEM so you don't have to generate dsm's and guid's :)
[Windows Mobile] rstoyguy:
OEM files - are for your specific device. Other files maybe placed their by the carrier to make it do some of their pretty stuff.

EXT files - can be carried/upgraded from different roms.

Plus all that stuff that indagroove and ondraster said. Those are how I would see them as a novice.
[Windows Mobile] yetrael:
thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge :)

afaik my kitchen for omnia2 works only with buildos, so i will use oem packages
[Windows Mobile] rstoyguy:
BuildOs, I remember that one. So you won't have any EXT's. Before the EXT's came into existance if I remember right...
[Windows Mobile] jwzg:
Doesn't the factory (HTC in my case) use EXT packages?
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
They use OEM.
[Windows Mobile] krazydude:
thanks for the replies guys...

was just wondering ...noobie question tho...

if i want to install my own programs ,is it better to do so as oem or ext??

and in which folder should i put them?

TIA

cheers

krazy
[Windows Mobile] OndraSter:
Installing by phone you mean cooking into ROM? It doesn't matter, they both do the same purpose, there is nothing like SYS, EXT, OEM, ... in original platformbuilder, there is only Microsoft side (for us SYS and MSXIPKernel) and OEM's (htc, ..) part (for us OEM, OEMXIPKernel). With platformrebuilder, that deletes dsm's and relocation module parts, came simplification in terms of adding new packages. Since it deletes dsm, it doesn't need them at all and to specify what is .rgu for package, it moves all content into folder "files" (even modules) and .rgu is renamed in root to app.reg.

Have I explained it enough? Just ask :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m1n1on:
I have an issue with my haptic feedback. Has been working fine since this morning, up until around the time when I installed the "Fast Web Installer" for Appbrain.

I notice that when I press the touch buttons the vibration seems to be very weak, as if the pulse of vibration is too short. If I increase the "Vibration Intensity" it feels fine when you are selecting the intensity (intensity slide bar), however, when you are finished selecting and press the buttons it is once again weak and short.

I have rebooted the phone a few times. Turned off the phone and removed battery then restarted. This still hasn't helped. Funny thing is the vibrations are fine when I'm choosing the "Vibration Intensity", and also it is fine when I get a call (as I have it set to vibrate phone for incoming calls.

Any ideas?

edit:

Possibly the vibrations aren't feeling as strong as once were. In the "Vibration Intensity"' menu, I can't really feel the vibrations for the last three settings, can only feel them on the upper three settings. However, I can hear the motor moving at the lower intensities if I listen closely. It's either lost it's vibration intensity or my hands are so cold I can't feel it as much.

edit2: seems to have fixed itself
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
My haptic feedback is always off since it's just a bettery waster
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xiiilence:
I'm getting the same issue, and also to top the icing on the cake, it makes a strange strange sound when I get haptic feedback/vibration and it's bugging me quite a bit... is it something to do with the drivers for it, since in the settings for intensities it seems fine ok?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devil997:

[Vibrant General] CharonIDRONES:
This is what I read on @samsungmobileus, isn't that also when they plan on updating the galaxy s to 2.2? Really am amazed that it has taken this long just for then to do anything about this, a fix should have been released a long time ago. While my gps is working now for the most part it still isn't up to part with my g1 sadly. My g1 will instantly lock onto nine to ten satellites in gps test, whereas my vibrant will see twelve and lock into four.

There's already a thread about this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753906
[Vibrant General] Forcefields:
I've read through so many threads about battery life, GPS issues, lag, freezing, ect...

I had all of the above issues and more with my Vibrant. It wasn't that the phone was "broken". It was just that the battery would barely last a full day with light to medium use, I would get 2-4 second lag often times moving between screens and my GPS was pathetic.

I also had another problem where I would receive a call and wouldn't be able to hear the caller for 2-4 seconds after answering. Lastly, I also had a couple people complain to me that my voice sounded "garbled" on their end.

I took my phone to a local T-Mobile store with receipt and original packaging, told them about my issues and asked to exchange for a new phone. They did with no hassles.

Using my new Vibrant has been a completely different experience. It's noticeably faster, my 3G speeds are better, no lag, much better (but not perfect GPS) and my battery honestly lasts twice as long.

For those of you having some of the above issues with your phones, hurry up and exchange it for a new one before your 30 day exchange date expirers! It's an amazing phone but some of them just seem to be duds.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
Same thing here. My first vibrant was recently but it did have its issues. I did an exchange hoping the gps issue would be fixed (it isn't but this one works better). It really wasn't till I got my second vibrant that I realized how bad the first one was because this one works sooo much better. My first one had this issue where the HD video would appear wavy and unsteady. I thought it was me but the new one doesn't suffer from that.

I just purchased the Droid X desk stand removed the HDMI connector and the Magnet cover tower from the base.

The Incredible fits nicely (just a tad bit snug on the left side but not too bad.

I Downloaded an Alarm Clock that can run in the Horizontal position and now I have a cool to look at:

HTC -- Motorola Desk Stand for my Incredibly rooted phone, Sky Raider 2.5.2, UnRevoked-Forever, S-Off, 2.15 Radio.:D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWizKid95:
i so want in on this!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldman_58:
Purchase the Desk Stand for the Droid X.

Carefully pull the bottom cover(s) (there is the rubber mat and the double sided tape) Be careful you will need this when putting it back together.

There are 8 Screws (Phillips) very tiny, they are screwed in at an angle, remove all screws, place in a cup to the side.

Now you will see the wiring and the mounting bracket, remove the 5 screws holding the bracket down.

Carefully pull the Bracket with the wires and magnet tower.

Remove the HDMI cable ( mine was white inside) it's the cable to the far right when looking at the front of the Desk Stand.

Remove the (silver) tower cover, you will not need it (be sure to leave the black plastic tower so the Phone can rest against when in the cradle).

Carefully return the bracket and the USB Micro jack back into the unit. Screw down the bracket.

Now try your phone, carefully, you will see the power connector fits but the left side (facing the front of the unit) is just a bit snug, no worries... It's all good

make sure when plugged in the Phone starts a charging cycle. If it all works remove the power cord and phone and replace the bottom, make sure all side fit inside the top cover..

Replace all screws, reattach the base pad to the unit...

You now have an

HTC -- Motorola Desk Stand for your Incredible.

I am using google voice as primary voice mail and i think because of this every time i try to reject the call i have to do it twice (Hit decline and after 5 seconds the phone rings again and decline again) only then it goes to voice mail.

My question is there anything i can do to fix this and just send the caller to voice mail.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
Do you have the feature to screen calls going to voicemail? If I'm following you, then what I did was to turn that feature off in gv settings on the computer. There might have been another setting on the computer to do but I don't remember. This way, I think if you reject the calls, they go to vm. If you go into the log screen of activity in gv on the computer, you can look up the number that called you and there should be a more link just below it. I know one off the settings is block, there might be a setting to go directly to voice mail.

There also might be a setting on the phone in the contact list and under that number if you saved it. There might be a choice to send it directly to vm in it's contact info. Just poke around. Knowing me, this probably isn't what you were looking to do.

And yeah, gv instructions for setup and explaining features had much to be desired at times, aggravating at others.
[EVO 4G General] iggogg:
I have the same problem, even with screen calls turned off. The phone rings and I decline, then it rings again. If I pick up the second time, it's not the person, it's an automated system asking if I want to send them to voicemail. I assume that I can listen to the voicemail, but I'm not interested in that.

I just upgraded from the Hero with the same set up and I did not have this problem with Google Voice. Have you guys figured anything out? When I turned off the Google Voice voicemail the issue went away, but I'm hooked on the transcription function of Voice.

Now i can't run any update, or get into clockwork recovery because i can't push the update.zip, because ADB can't see my device....
