Blackberry Torch Messenger Error

I’m not able to login my live messenger from my blackberry torch, its flashing unexpected server error. Help me plz :(:o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] matthewboii:
The new google voice actions is really slick looking grey/ steel and functions beautifully

It would be awesome to see the sleek look of this app brought throughout the entire os, it actually brings me to wonder what gingerbread will look like if this is the newest thing from google... perhaps it will take a turn that way!

untill then... i hope someone with the time would take intrest in this ^_^
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OrganizedFellow:
interesting obversation by the way!

Gingerbread is expected dates are mid- October (around 15 -16th).

So we really don't have long to wait.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
Hmm like a Carbon steel theme? I like that Idea too!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carnegie0107:
Really, the new "voice actions" box looks exactly like the new widget theme Google introduced with Eclair. Nothing new or exciting here, other than that this is the biggest box we've seen with this theme (until now it's been smaller, like the music or news/weather widgets). Would be cool to see them continue to integrate it, though.

Personally, though, I think they should run with the new Froyo look. The semi-transparent background from the new Launcher2 dock, or the keys that appear on the Froyo stock keyboard when you swipe up? Overlay those on top of this widget background. Use that as the background for all the widgets, and the keys on the keyboard, really anything in the OS that is supposed to be dark.

I also wonder if Google will ever exchange the status bar for a dark one, since that's what every custom skin (Sense, Blur, TouchWiz) and almost every theme from XDA does. Seems obvious that's what most people want. (Not me; I prefer it light, but I'm just sayin')

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imiddlet:
If you looked, theres like 30 others 'whats the best' questions out there...

and even when subjective, you have to provide more info OP....

Do you want sense? no sense?

Do you need 4g?

do you need fm radio?

are you going to whine if something force closes on you once a decade?

Is there specific features you want in a rom? ( a flashlight, or adw default launcher, or whatever )

I personally use dc3.5 back when i liked sense... then openned my eyes and switched to CM6, which I now use nightlys of ( update every few days ).

The beauty of using nandroid backups, is all it costs you to 'find the best' is the time it takes to download the rom, do a backup, and wipe/install... surely your not so burdenned in the time area you cant afford to do that?

I've only used Stock Sense, Myn's and CM6... Myn's was way better of a Sense ROM than the Stock HTC was... But I'm likin the built-in customization options in CM6... and just a side note, I ran all "those" tests... Linpack/Quadrant/Speed test and every one of them were considerably higher (over several days) than the Stock ROM and a little higher than Myn's... I started out asking the same question.. and the best answer is: The one that you flash and actually like...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
SO tired of people saying ignorant things like this.

The BEST or IDEAL ROM would include every feature seamlessly.

The BEST or IDEAL ROM would conserve battery life, have plenty of features and customizations, be aesthetically pleasing, be fast without draining battery and employ all other features users want without infringing on the benefits of other features.

A qualification of your statement:

At this point in time, no ROM is universally great and so you will have to choose what is most important to you- speed, battery life, aesthetics, etc.

But MY recommendation would still be that MIUI is the best ROM for Evo that isn't Gingerbread. It has the most features, is stable, fast, looks good, and is fully customizable.

Hope this helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
all sense roms kill my battery so, im about to flash cm6 and winmax :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyharrywk:
I tried MIUI and don't understand all the hype. Nothing new, just djisplayed different. I didn't like all the time it took to configure it to my taste. And why no all apps button. To me it looks like a Disney interface, lots of color pretty girlie colors.

I stick with Cyanogen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
People like it because it's the most iPhone-esque ROM out right now.

It also adds a lot of Power Control options in the pull-down menu like: Airplane Mode, Sync, Data, Reboot, Shutdown, CPU slow for battery, Rotation and more.

Until Cyanogen makes CM7 (not a nightly build) I'm sticking with MIUI.

And when Stock Gingerbread comes out, I'm definitely going back to that; IMO stock ROM is pretty amazing. I'm interested to see what EVO's Sense Gingerbread will look like.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyharrywk:
I totally understand there is no best rom. The best rom is what works for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
If your EVO happens to be negatively impacted by certain ROM's that don't typically negatively affect others, then it is what it is; however, I am STILL going to stand by what I posted and say that the BEST ROM would be a ROM that utilizes the most features without negatively affecting other features.

If, on the other hand, you simply prefer plain-looking ROM's or whatever is fastest or whatever tickles your pickle, THAT is just personal preference. But just because you prefer it doesn't make it best.

Best would be defined as what I stated- a ROM that incorporates the most features with the least amount of side effects.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:

Well, there are Manly themes on MIUI :)

While I agree that Miui isn't for everyone - lots of minor fixes are usually needed - I find myself going back to it for all the features, especially the hidden ones:

Visitor mode - hides your texts and calls

DND mode built-in -screens calls and texts

Menu-down volume -snaps a screenshot

A great notification screen with controls - long press will take you to the actual setting screen

Backup - easy and full featured

The list goes on. I do switch back to Sense every so often for 4g (neoevo) but I always go back to MIUI

MikFroyo!

Well it depends on your preference... I'm into sense, so right now I'm just loving MikFroyo, hope they finish 4.6 soon!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
There probably will be no 4.6. Froyo has been all burned out for the devs. I know myn told me personally on the irc he wouldn't be making any more warm twopointtwo's. That's why he ported the warm z. I think aamikam is probably on the same boat. Calkulin mesterously disappeared, and Ava hasn't updated in forever.

On the bright side, a bunch of new roms have popped out of nowhere. Koni's elite is new and very popular. Dark coca looks nice. Kings unleashed I heard was very good. Miui is gaining popularity, and cm7 nightlies are amazing. Try the new ones. You never know which you might like. I have to admit, i have been so dedicated to cm7 nightlies (I kno, I used to be sense die hard) that i havent flashed koni's or dark coca or kings unleashed or even ava z3. I will soon though, once cm7 gets a stable and i can stop flashing.

Fresh 4.2

I've been running Fresh 4.2.0.0.

I tried CM7, but the FC's and a lack of a reliable home button were more than I could stand. Fresh is stable and sleek.

I'm trying to be MORE than content, which I should be, but I am on the prowl for further customizations. Fresh, while amazing, is limited. It seems to focus more on just keeping with the new stock android trends, for those of us who can't upgrade our OS legitimately (due to root).

But I've had fun with changing the boot animation and associated audio. My evo is now distinctively mine, or as much as it can be.

I use one of these:

http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_7&products_id=106733

They are awesome for music and cheap as chips! I have my phone in a pouch around my waist while I'm in the gym and the music is proper clear. I actually stuggled using these with my HD2 as whenever something gets inbetween the right ear piece and the phone, or the top part of the phone was covered at all, everything would start to brake up, but it's working wonderfully with the Streak. Not really used them for phone calls but think they were alright when I did.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ricoks:
+1 Jawbone Icon

in order to allow all sounds to the icon, you have to enable it through an update to the firmware. however, note that it will move ALL sounds - (GPS included)

do that on the jawbones website (never remember the manufacturer)
[Streak 5 Accessories] hyellow:
I've just bought one of these:

http://www.chipchick.com/2009/12/sony-ericsson-mw600-review.html

verdict?

Brilliant. Calls come in clear. There may be better ones, but it's doing the job good. Music streaming? Sometimes a quarter of a secound pause, not bothering me at all, keeps me awake :D

the most brilliant thing about it? It has a built in FM radio. So the dell streak has not an FM radio, but this BT headset can compromise for it, altough you can not save a channel, just tune and listen, no problem for me either. It does remember your last listened radio station, just no presets.

Few other things.

Accept calls from the BT headset, ok.

Skip, play and pause tracks, ok.

Adjust volume, ok.

Works with Rockplayer, youtube etc, ok.

downside, does not show track info on the oled screen.

it plays nicely with my bt watch. ie, my watch vibrates and can see who is calling me and I can just take the call with the headset.

So far, pretty amazing. I must confess, I am not an audiophilic, just occasionaly listen to music, but i can say that music output is ok. btw, the bluetooth module has a 3.5m audio jack, so you can plug your own earbuds into it, the mic is on the bt module as well.

I've bought mine for a mearly 45 euro's.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Boysa22:
Hello hyellow,

Are you able to stream the FM radio using this device to the speakers of the Dell Streak? Is it possible to use the device as a FM receiver and the Streak as output of the audio?

Blueant Q2 - Phone book and Bluetooth Voice dial

Using a Blueant Q2. Loads the phone book into the headset and announces who is calling if they are in your phonebook. Also works for Bluetooth voice dialing. Press the button, say Phone commands and it activates the Nuance Voice Control through the headset. Running Streak Stock Firmware 1.6.

[Streak 5 Accessories] Prolab:
I second that since i got mine free when i bought the Xperia X10 during the summer. Calls are very clear, music sound is great, last me about 9+ hours continuously, very adaptable.

One thing i noticed was, when i have music playing on my streak, a call comes in - after i hang up the call, the music wont playback properly.

Under Mixzing, i see the status bar moving across the screen but no sound at all. I have to pause, close the app and open it again to play it. I suspect cause of 1.6.

I never had this problem with my milestone with a 2.1. So, YMMV.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Streakr:
I find most bluetooth devices have that problem after switching. The solution I found was to make sure you don't press any buttons for about 5 seconds after hanging up.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Streakr:
I got a knock off pair likes these at the flee market, $40. They're called Bluedio and they are the loudest bluetooth headset I have ever owned. I actually have to turn down the volume using them. I swapped out the headphones for a higher end Sony pair. Great sound. Zero drops but some issues with the driver sometimes. Solution is to re-pair.

So it's definitely loud enough on the dell streak, right?
[Streak 5 Accessories] fone_fanatic:
My gf got me the Motorola Rokr S10 HD's and they're awesome.

Music and Calls, never had an issue with clarity or them dropping the connection. Mic is awesome, everyone i talk to can hear me perfectly clear (or so they say when i ask them) and battery life is great!

Also i have them paired with my laptop so i can use them to either listen to music, or for skype, ichat, etc..

One downside is, if you wear them for a prolonged period of time, say over 3 hours, they start to hurt. It isn't as bad since i first got them but i don't know if that is because i've become used to it or they're stretching/breaking in and not squeezing so hard on my ears/ear lobes.
