I know how you feel.. Thankfully I got lucky in that my screen started coming up in the corners like adhesive wasn't working -- and when they swapped me out with another new unit (had been 10 out of 30 days) it had 2.1

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderd:
Got my replacement today and it was of course a refurbed unit, but had 2.2 on it, so im in the same boat as the rest of you OTA'd guys lol. Sucks, as im impatient, but ill wait, dont think ill lose too much more of my mind between now and then :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Two things you can do:

1) Start another thread asking if you can root 2.2. Those are SO in right now. Don't bother searching first, you'll just get confused by all the results.

2) Start another BOUNTY thread offering money you never intend to pay to the first dev who roots 2.2 for you.

That seems to be the route people are taking these days.

Hello fellow motorcyclists! I couldn't find a more recent thread so i hope im not out of line raising this one from the dead. Ive been riding for about 7 years now; learned on an 1982 Yamaha Seca 650 (my best friends bike). My first bike was a 1979 Yamaha XS1100 Special. Loved that thing but sold 'er last year to upgrade. I got tired of mucking around with 4 carbs and something older than I was. Sold that and am now riding a 2013 Yamaha Super Tenere!
[Wildfire General] anheuer:
Hey There,

a friend of mine is looking to get his first android phone.

but he wants to have a budget phone.

I was looking at the Wildfire because this is considered a budget phone.

But i also noticed that the HTC Hero has dropped to a similar price.

I looked at the specs but it almost looks like the hero still has better specs then the wildfire does.

Is there anyone who has tried both?

and could tell me the differences?

much appreciated.
[Wildfire General] cashisback:
In my opinion the HTC hero did seem a bit laggy but maybe that's changed, also the resolution is slightly better on the hero but not really noticeable. The HTC Wildfire is going to get Android 2.2 and with a bigger RAM it will run smoother than the HTC Hero. Also the Hero does not have a Flash for the camera :O. its up to you but i would say the wildfire is better.
[Wildfire General] anheuer:
So newer is better..

Thanks for your opinion :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikkokusenkin:
Hello,

Apologies if this is not the right section to post this query in (I'm not sure if I shouldn't be posting in the 'Desire Theme and Apps' section). In any case, I hope to get some useful tips from the very helpful and talented modders on this forum. So, here goes...

I am currently trying to skin the HTC Sense Launcher (Rosie) and I wanted to change the animation of the 'current screen indicator' (that's just a term I made up; I mean the little bar that floats above the launcher's main panel telling you which screen you're on). Screenshot here to show what I'm talking about:

​

Okay, so I already know that I can 'remove' that bar and the path it moves along by modifying two files in Rosie.apk/res/drawable-hdpi-v4. However, my modifications are going to look somewhat like this (you can see that I have removed the dark semi-elliptical background that forms the backdrop of the 'current screen indicator'):

​

This being the case, I think it would be really nice if I could get the 'current screen indicator' to float in a straight horizontal line above my launcher instead of the elliptical arc it currently describes. It would be aesthetically pleasing and I wouldn't lose the functionality of the bar.

So, my question is: which xml file do I need to change in order to make this happen?

Here's what I've done so far:

1. I've decompiled Rosie.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, and framework-res.apk and I've scoured the xml files in each of these apk's looking for a reference to common_mainnav_scroller1.png -- the 'current screen indicator's' icon file present in Rosie.apk/res/values/drawable-hdpi-v4 and pointed to in public.xml in the Rosie apk. Needless to say, I found nothing useful. The closest I've come is the layout.xml file in com.htc.resources.apk. But that file talks about the launcher widgets, scrollbar and home screens. Frustratingly, it does not talk about the 'current screen indicator.'

2. I've searched the internet for information. This is one relevant thread that I came up with: Changing the 'Current Screen Bar' in Rosie. However, it does not contain the information I'm looking for. In addition, it's quite an old thread and I'm not sure how many people would look at it. I've made a post there, just in case.

Note: I am not a Java/Android guru by any means but I'm learning as I go along. So, if you have any helpful comments/suggestions, please make them! Even vague pointers would be appreciated as I am willing to poke around on my own and try to find out more.

Thanks.

[HD2 General] joeyjoee:
I immediately removed it from the water, and desperately tried to remove the back case to remove the battery (its quite hard when the phone is wet) i got there eventually though.

The screen was flickering whilst the phone was still on, and the water sensitive stickers on the battery and phone are both pink. I've blow dried it for about 10 minutes haven't tried to start it back up yet.... any suggestions?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
DON'T start it for a few days. Put it in a warm place, leave it to dry for 48-72 hours and pray it works when you turn it on.
[HD2 General] semihbalcioglu:
yeah just be patient and wait about 3-4 days to dry. but do not put it under direct sunlight

[HD2 General] joeyjoee:
put it in a bag of rice or leave out in the open?!?
[HD2 General] DanijasDub:
put your phone into rice and keep bag closed
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
Basically you just need to make sure you dry it out thoroughly. Don't try to rush this process in a few hours. All the posts about leaving it somewhere warm (like an airing cupboard) are correct. Don't put it on top of a radiator or hot pipe, or in the sun as already suggested. The idea of putting it in a bag of rice is to help draw the moisture out. Never tried this method myself.... You really must be patient with this - managed to save my Touch Pro that got soaked in the rain last year....
[HD2 General] joeyjoee:
okay so i've put the phone the battery and the sim on top of some rice in a bad behind my tv in my bedroom
[HD2 General] ryuu55:

[HD2 General] tsfatt:
"DON'T start it for a few days."

yup ..is correct wait until dry ... "rice" are good for absorb humilities ..

but If I not wrong ..after dry .the speaker of the phone will change ..just like my tytn II drop into "wash floor water", it still can use .. but the speaker sound change ... :(
[HD2 General] malias4:
Οh man , really bad luck..

hope it goes ok but be patient and let it dry manually !!!
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
my wife washed my cellphone once (left in pocket after heavy night of drinking). Took the battery out, let it sit on a counter for about a week. Phone recovered though it took the screen a while for the colors to all show properly.

I have read where people put their oven on warm and leave it overnight. I don't think this will hurt the phone since their won't be a power source in it.
[HD2 General] namwollem:
Dropped in a sink with the tap running!

I dried it out under a hand dryer, then powered it up straight away. In hindsight this was pretty stupid, but it booted up ok. The only problem being the NAVPANEL would randomly appear and require a reboot. The next day that problem had gone away, and was replaced with a new problem - the Volume down button being jammed on! Also the battery life was reduced to about 10 hours. After a further 48 hours and a blast with compressed air (around the volume buttons) the phone has returned to 100% normal use - even the battery life is getting better, now upto about 36-42 hrs..... but I have bought a replacement for that anyway!!

Can't believe how lucky I was!
[HD2 General] Stom:
[Edit: Just saw you fixed it. Bravo! I'll leave this here anyway...]

Rice is good, unless you have any silica gel kicking about, the stuff you get in electronic packaging in the little paper bags/sachets that say "do not eat".

But yes, definately don't do what the majority do...

"I just turned it on to see if it would work..."

"You turned your phone/laptop on while it was wet... to see if it would work?"

"Yeah... why?"

*facepalm*

Happens about once a week in the PC store I work at. You could also try stripping it after it's dried and going over it with a carbon pen to remove any corrosion/residue.
[HD2 General] s_firestone:
After removing the battery, SIM, and MicroSD and gently removing any surface water.

One trick I found is to put a phone in the path of hot dry air for 30 minutes to a couple of hours. A clothes dryer vent works wonderfully for this since its temperature controlled (and timed) to keep from destroying the fabric in your clothes, and hot enough to allow water to evaporate. If you have access to your dryer vent hose, unhook it and rest it on top of the dryer and put your phone in the path (at least 4 to 6" from the opening). It's worked for 2 phones so far. One being my wife's Motorola, and one my Touchpro. If you have a dryer with an insert for shoes, you could use that as well, although I would put the phone on something to keep it from vibrating off.

You could use a hair dryer but keep in mind that hair dryers are not designed to be run continuously and the temperature is not technically regulated.

The trick is to get the temperature of the whole phone up to about 130 to 140 degrees and the water will evaporate. I would avoid shaking the water out of the phone or using pressureized air since that will push water into the delicate connectors, keypad matrix, screen, etc.
[HD2 General] sedde:
Let me give you a more scientific approach to your problem, i will try to explain as better as i can since english aint my primary language.

After you drop it in the water, your phone will never be the same for couple of reasons. First of all, when the water will dry, salt will "sit" on the connections and the weldings of the connectors, and that will slowly but steadily eat them. My saying is : " Never trust a phone that was dropped into water/coffee ". For you to be sure of your phone you need to strip it, and clean it with a spray for electrical appliances. Now there are 2 types of those sprays, one with oil and one with no oil in it. For your thing you need the NO-OIL one. Thats to make sure you wont get a loose joint and eventually your phone wont get broken.

If you dont feel like opening your phone and you dont feel comfortable with it, just ignore my post and just dry it out. What is 100% sure is that at some point it will break down, it depends on when though, from hardware to hardware.

Just my 2 cents.
[HD2 General] hd2k10:
Any time I get anything wet I IMMEDIATELY remove the battery, then I remove anything else I can from it: Sim Card, Memory Cards, etc. I don't like the rice idea because rice ALWAYS ends up stuck somewhere inside. I prefer setting my phone on some foil out in the sun for a bit (provided it's not too hot out) or just leaving it somewhere where it's warm to dry out. DO NOT BY ANY MEANS put the battery back in or turn it on until it is COMPLETELY dry. A minimum of a day if you even want to begin to chance it. If it was dropped in something other than relatively clean fresh water, I would keep everything out of it (battery, sim, memory cards, etc.) and dip it in a cup of distilled water a few times to clean any particles off, then let it dry again completely before turning it on. Just because an electronic gets wet, doesn't mean it won't work. The only way to kill it really is if you power it back on or the battery shorts it.

I went swimming at the lake with my old Nokia 5310 for 10 minutes before remembering it was in my pocket, I immediately took everything out when I remembered and left it in the sun for 8 hours and it worked fine for a year after until I threw it into a wall as hard as I could due to a frustrating girlfriend haha

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _tangent:
Hi all,

If this is in the wrong place, i apologise unreservedly. It's really a question about android generally, but it's a question which has arisen specifically due to the behaviour of many of the various android builds available for the HD2, so i figure this is a sensible enough place to put it.

Enough waffle; the question:

Given the screen freezing issues associated with the gsensor/autorotate (i know this is at least relatively widespread as it's mentioned in many of the rom threads, and at least one dedicated thread), is there a setting/widget/app that can be used to force-rotate the screen and lock it in that orientation, if auto-rotate is disabled? For example, if i know i'm about to launch my browser or texting app, i can flip to landscape.

Many thanks all!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MAMeingast:
1. That is a very good idea and might fight the freezes caused by autorotation.

2. I want this anyway, because I want to be able to force a specific orientation when lying in bed. With autorotation the screen usually rotates the wrong way...

So any help would be appreciated! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evans_Prophet:
Can anyone test whether Galaxy S software / hardware wise can detect the area touched by your finger? If this is possible then pressure related applications would also be possible. Imagine invoking a right click just by tapping your finger in a different way (so as to cover a greater surface) - the music / drawing apps / or GPS scroll speed in such programs or other (e.g. the greater the "pressure" the quicker the scrolling).

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
i highly doubt that this is possible and it is definitely not supported by the android api...

edit: i just looked into the api reference and saw that android does support pressure for touch events. i have no idea however if the galaxy s does support this. i think i will try it ... :)

edit2: sorry but i have to disappoint you, i always get the value 0.15686275 for the motion-event's pressure...but at least the galaxy s supports 5 finger multitouch while the htc devices can't even track 2 fingers right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVlsRCMltDg & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRCDRXYJBCY
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bommel0815:
afaik this is only possible with resistive screens that report back the pressure, not with capacitive screens.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
Does anybody have any clues why we haven't seen any new froyo firmwares so far? (we had a wave of jp1 to jp3 and then silence)

Is it because

a. Such new firmwares exist but are not leaked anymore (samsung detected the leak) or

b. Such new firmwares do not exist in the sense that they are still being developed and not even nightly builds exist? (which I doubt).

I would have expected Samsung to have given something to its beta testers to play with..

Just a thought..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yani2000:
There were a lot of tweets about your question.

Sadly, the correct answer is A.

Here is the latest:

http://twitter.com/SamsungFirmware/status/21474133152
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
It's probably more complicated (and I have a theory).

Firstly, the firmware's were probably leaked because Samsung got sick of the people who kept running around saying they were liars and were simply telling people what they wanted to hear. So, they possibly released JP# themselves. It's also possible a carrier requested them for internal testing with Froyo, and they were leaked by the carrier (after all, carriers also want to work on their own customisations, and leakers get an adrenaline rush).

Secondly, having hung around the Songbird project before, Songbird stopped releasing early betas because people are morons. People would post duplicates of known bugs dozens of times wasting resources, and would make ridiculous assumptions based on unfinished code.. It's probable that many people are returning their phones in part because they don't see evidence of change in leaked firmwares. Even now, despite saying they are still working on the GPS fixes, there are a few people running around screaming "it wont get fixed, because Samsung are only making minor changes in leaked firmware".

Then, it's also possible the tree is too broken at the moment to release to anyone, some of the programmers are on leave (it isn't impossible to believe they were working 24/7 up to the launch date of the phone), or they are working on GPS problems and such, which are so complex that they need to be merged in one shot.

Anyway, we can't know for sure, but its a good thing actually if Samsung don't release every single build they compile..
