[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
A few points I'd like to share with you.

First, the Nexus One being what it is is reason enough not to get rid of it. It is a classic, it is the only HTC device available with vanilla Android and high end hardware, and everything else has some flavor of garbage depending on the manufacturer. It really is the modern day Google phone, their baby, and the device that gets all the updates before everything else.

I typically sell my old phones to pay for most of the cost of my new ones, but with the Nexus One, I'm pretty sure I'm going to use it until it dies and still keep it to remember how great it was after that.

As for switching to Sprint for the Evo, I would also wait until something truly worthy of replacing your Nexus One comes along (and on a better network). The added features of the Evo aren't worth the poor battery life and slower general operation when using it.

For my next upgrade, I'm going to wait for something with a higher-than-WVGA resolution screen, xenon flash, and something that can truly live up to the Nexus One's legacy.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttrinh77:
Hi everybody,

I was able to export all my outlook contacts into a csv file and then upload it to google so that i could sync my captivate.

It worked great!

the only thing that i'm having a problem with, is that since they're considered google contacts, it won't let me assign a ringtone to them or even separate my contacts into groups.

Now i know third party apps let me assign ringtones, but its kind of annoying that i'm more limited on options when they're google contacts and not contacts saved either on the SIM or on the phone's memory itself.

Does anyone know a way around this? i've tried playing around with the menus, but there's no option to just save them to the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttrinh77:
ok, so after playing around for the last hour or so, i've figured out the answer to my own question.

i exported the .vcf file from gmail, then imported it into the phone and that did the trick!

Just updated and noticed the vibration is working. It wasnt before i dont think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
It was, you had to turn it on. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] carhigh:
Im not sure. I noticed that handcent sms was installed and removed it, then the tilt 2 didnt vibrate anymore, though the settings where to always vibrate. Had to reinstall it for the kids so they get some kind of notifacation. I think they like the handcent pop up anyways.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] carhigh:
Yeah, ok, so, i installed the same android on the 3rd tilt2 for my son yesterday and couldnt get vibrate to work at all, i set it to always vibrate and everything. Vibrate started working ONLY after i installed handcent sms on it.

Are you sure there is a way to turn it on, or maybe its just not working in the android version i am using on the tilt 2's ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
I use a tilt2 also. Its more of a pain in the ass than just setting the phone to vibrate.

Menu > settings > sounds > vibrate > always

Messaging > menu > settings > vibrate > always

Talk > menu > settings > vibrate > always

Rinse & Repeat.

So i've compared the myfroyo6 which gives 1k+ quadrant scores , and the CM6 RC1 build.prop... and they're pretty much the SAME

they both have the media.stagefright enabled and i went line by line... i even copied over build.prop to CM6 and reflashed... and still get 500 or so scores on quadrant...

the theory behind the stagefright or build.prop in general is wrong.

I don't think an Aria is a good choice for someone who is rough on phones. My wife's Blackberry Curve was indestructible by comparison. One drop from about 1.5 ft. shattered the screen on my Aria. My wife drove off with her Blackberry on top of the car and found it in the street with only a few scratches. Also someone ran over her iPhone 3G with a 2010 Yukon and it was completely undamaged.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tk44uk:
Hi,

My first post here, so hello to all forum users. :)

When I tried to copy/paste a file (~50MB) from my PC to External SD card on my Galaxy S,

it froze, then shut off - couldn't restart it unless I removed battery for a few seconds.

Sometimes it will seemingly copy/paste files ok, but then the files turn out to be corrupted.

The card (SanDisk 8GB class 2) was Ok at first, and I had copied some files to it without problem, but after a couple of days I noticed some file names were corrupted.

Are there any known problems regarding SDcards getting corrupted with the SGS?

Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All Day On XDA:
yes - although my issue was that files would disappear after a short while.

i isolated the problem to my windows 7 OS running on an old Acer.

copying files via linux solves the problem. my brother's asus can write files to the sd card perfectly using windows 7

wierd really

It happened twice to me within 3 days:

first time while synching with media player.

The second: while bluetooth paired, in copilot gps, a call came.

I went to anwser on bluetooth, no respond.

then tried with the phone. It froze.

Then I had to shut down manually (I tried holding the butthon to choose shutdown but everything was frozen).

Then the SD card shows as corrupt.

can't unmount and can't format through the settings.

Got to do it from the top drop down menu. Then choose the sdcard and it asked if I wanted to format.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikextr23:
I've experienced this as well twice already. First is after uninstalling nDrive which is installed on my external SDcard. Second is when i'm trying to copy files from my external SDcard to my pc. I was trying to access the internal SDcard at the same time while i'm copying the files from external SDcard then suddently my galaxy s MTP gave me a force close message. Then it froze and i have no choice but to press power button until it restarts. After restart my phone told me that my external SDcard is corrupted and needs to be formatted. Can't unmount it either so have to do the formatting via the notification area. Really annoying as my phone is less than 2 weeks old. I have this bad feeling that there is a hardware and software problem with my phone! I don't want to send it back yet as it would take ages before i get it again!

Howdy! A few hours back I got my hands on this lovely new HD2. I've already set it up with a nice Energy ROM (thanks NRGZ!) and customized it to my heart's desire (I came from an Xperia X1).

Short click: Screen off

Long click: Standby

I'm aware of apps such as AEBPlus. However, for the X1, there was a specific APP, X1BH (X1 button hook / button capture etc.) Is there something similar for the HD2? I haven't yet been able to find it.

Thanks in advance!

1.Do i hard reset after the upgrade has completed auto customization or in the middle of boot up process?

2.I used the sim and cid unlocker v3 and it automatically flashed SPL 1.40 OLIPro, can i upgrade to HARDsplv7 without losing Super CID and unlocked sim attributes?

here's what i knew;

1- i think you should do the hard reset thing when you see the screen calibration applet, i used to do it by that.... but for 2 and 3.....nothing much i could help.....got few ideas in mind but wont say it....i dont really want to trash your valuable hermes....i suppose you should wait for a better man to help you....regards

Answers:

1.- This is my way to flash and is prettie fast

-Flash stripped att stock rom, it boots, and fast put it into Bootloader when you see red words

-Flash your new custom rom, and fast do hardreset when you see the red words ;)

2.- Yes you can... sorry... you MUST!!! to change to V7 :D just flash it as any other rom ;)

3.- The main suggestion is to run the wrapper in XP i never tried before compatibilitie with XP execution on Vista, but you can try ;) or... put a JAVA emulator machine in your vista... and run a virtual XP machine ;) and do upgrades in the virtual JAVA machine ;)

He never refund the item that I returned. But he sold it again. And earn money more than 200 dollars. He never reply. He is bloody ebayer. Beware.:mad:
[General Topics] Pickx:
I had a similar problem last year though by someone who ripped me off about 800$.

The golden rule is, if you are looking for a refund, always get a refund FIRST then send the item back. After I sent him the item he just disappeared.

I DID get a refund eventually by contacting my credit card company and giving them all the details of the transaction and our conversations prior to him disappearing. Try it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] M82A1-50:
So I rooted my phone (Sprint Hero 2.1) using regaw_leinad's How-to and have most of the basics done. Got rid of the Sprint pre-load garbage apps and loaded some "black market" ones.

What's next? I hear all this talk about the custom ROMS and i was wondering if i could get your opinion on which ones i should try out. Stability is high on the list but i'd also like to be able to theme the phone (real crazy lookin not pony backgrounds and a new clock.) and also dive into the phones full network potential.

Sorry if this all seems basic but i'd rank myself pretty low in the knowledge loop at the moment as i dropped out of doing this type of stuff right after At&t & Cingular merged the 2nd time. I can however re-case phones and do fiberglass work so i can make the exterior look good. I just think it would be nice to have a phone that runs as good as it looks.

Thanks ahead of time for any direction

I rooted my pda just to get rid of pre-installed garbage from HTC, and to install Camera Pro. As DroidWall doesn't save iptables rules, I don't use it. That's all why I needed root access.

And still I can't reboot the device using Root Manager or SwitchPro widget, though these apps have superuser permissions.

I think these comparison charts are a waste of time to be honest. The only way it would be effective would be if it was the same person doing all the testing, under the same conditions (ROM used, tries done per benchmark, specific time after reboot, etc.)

With kernels especially, the ROM you're using it with will play a major role in benchmark and stability yields. Not to mention the what apps you have running in the background.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Wow, that was an awesome paper! I had absolutely no idea what BFS or CFS were until I read that. If I understand correctly (in a vastly-oversimplified way), CFS assigns each pending task an equal share of the CPU, while BFS decides which tasks will be completed faster and queues them accordingly. CFS improves turnaround time, but BFS lowers latency. With such an interactive system as a smartphone, BFS would seem to be the best choice.

Or maybe I'm completely missing it. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzN1337c0d3r:
For user experience (as measured by interactivity), BFS would appear to be best choice.

However, I would like to see a study that measured power used vs unit of work done. Since CFS's turnaround time appears to be lower, this suggests it may be a more power-efficient kernel?
