Please note that this is not a matter of not been smooth is a matter of not being as smooth when scrolling with Launcher Pro at least.

I did not notice it was not as smooth until I tried a non live wallpaper myself.

It is kind of what happens with that Asphalt game...most people feel it is very smooth with the latest 3.1.8 version until they try 3.1.3 which was the last one that did hardware accelaration then they notice how much smoother it can really be.
[Captivate General] torred:
I did notice the difference and it was very annoying.

Live wallpaper would actually freeze on some 3rd party wallpapers until I did the 1 click fix and ever since then I have zero issues.

It's like a different phone.
[Captivate General] mrpiggae:
Static wallpapers give me much, much smoother desktop performance when swiping around the screens. The other big reason that I got rid of live wallpapers is because I use Weather & Toggle Widget, and with the live wallpaper running the weather animations are super choppy and laggy. The cloud animations especially are not all that smooth to begin with, so the live wallpaper just seems to make it worse.

I have the official Swype Beta. I signed up when it was open and installed as instructed from Swype. No hacks/cracks or themes.

Yesterday after upgrade and re-root I reinstalled the Beta Swype and it installed properly but after every reboot the Swype will not work and I must choose a different input method then re-choose Swype and then go to the Swype settings and select the language.

So bottom line is Swype is not remembering the language pack on re-boot, it is annoying.

EDIT: Looks like it is a known problem to everyone but Swype. Too bad. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-support-troubleshooting/141061-froyo-2-2-swype-glitch-fix.html

Hi all,

I have the X10 and i love it in everyway.

I got my X10 from A&T and I unlocked it to use on US T-mobile network. The phone is working flawlessly.

However, my question is will the phone lock back to AT&T network after I do upgrade it to 2.1 (I heard Sony and AT&T will put out a 2.1 together), OR will it remain unlocked for the rest of its lifetime now.

I am new, and appreciate all the help there is. :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadin27:
No one know this?? or Am I in the wrong forum?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
Once the phone is unlocked it stays that way, unless you take it back to the A&T and ask them to lock the device again(but not the case here):p.

the update is released by SE and i think that it will only affect the rooted devices,meaning that if you rooted your device, you will need to unroot it again, when that will be possible again.

If i am wrong someone please correct me.:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokh:
Hi!

I have a strange problem with one desire...

After changing the broken lcd screen, the display is very yellowish, everything witch was "white colour", is now yellow...

I have tested 4 lcd-s, changed the rom (multiple ROM-s), but same result...

Strange is even when i try to make color correction with Calibrator (calibrated-signed-42-Universal)... i can change red and green, but changing blue is not working to obtaining "white"...so it remain the same color with values (for blue) from 0 untill 1000.

Is there an another program to make color correction, or is a hardwere fault?

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
How exactly are you changing the "lcd"

There are two types of screen that the desire can use (depending on your model) amoLED (led!) or SLCD (super lcd). So unless you replace your screen with the correct replacement type for your specific handset your going to have strange issues.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
Maybe you should take a very close look at your display, with a magnifying glass or a microscope and check if the blue sub-pixels work at all. It seems as if they don't work and you get amber colors.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokh:
I have received the phone with broken display, after power on, it was dark screen no display...so obviously i changed the lcd with the same model, wich is a Samsung (AMOLED i think), P/N: 60H00287-00.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RagnaKaos:
I'm pretty sure it's the correct type of display if anything is being displayed. The problem might be the connection between the mainboard and the screen. Perhaps you've accidentally damaged it when changing the screen? Maybe you should post some pictures of your assembly showing the connection. That might let someone see the problem and suggest a solution.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokh:
if you need to understand better the problem i can upload some photos of the Desire...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokh:
The assembly is correct, i checked it, i think it`s a micro crack on the mainboard, suffered during the shock, so i will resolder the contacts... i will keep u updated...

meanwhile, i wait other opinions also..:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amokh:
I have found the problem...It was the filter near the lcd connctor...they are 3 filters...for each color...RGB...so after resoldering all of them, and 6 hours of work...it`s working...:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
nice, hasn't taken you too long to identify it really either.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shafez:
I have the same problem as you, is it possible to post instruction and a picture .

I would like to fix the problem and don't know how.

Touch Flo 3D on opal

​

thanks to pajerm and illass (i used their posts)

Project: Manila 3d porting

Manila 3d For QVGA Device/

it works on the following devices fine:

Polaris:

HTC P3650 / HTC P3651 / HTC Touch Cruise / HTC Touch Cruise P3651 / SFR & HTC Touch Cruise / Dopod P860 / O2 Xda Orbit 2

Kaiser:

as u see in the picture Opal (or let's talk better) OMAP820 Devices doesn't have 3d hardware accelerator so some parts like clock or weather or .... doesn't work on opal

but still there is one way to run it. i know that the speed is dead but it's a hobby for me

NOTE: this may damage your device so install at your own risk... or uninstall after u saw the TF3D because it has nothing for u

How to install:

get this driver (thanks to djboo):

then get TF3D for QVGA:

touch flow 3d needs a 3d hardware compatibility that opal hasn't..
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] pajerm:
Our devices don't have 3D acceleration.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Mr.zeus:
yes i know but do Cruise & 3G have 3d harware?

because they can.

so what is the last version of manila that opal can run?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] pajerm:
this is opal structure, it is based on omap 850... you can see 2D accelerator only...

touch 3g is MSM7225 based device... and I think MSM7K family has a 3d hardware accelerator...
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Mr.zeus:

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Mr.zeus:

[HD2 General] sandeeppathak007:
Hi Guys I have been a winmo user for a while and then i moved to android with xperia x10. however i am thinking of changing my toy and unable to decide between 2 HD2 and desire.

for me i felt both OS as same for my usage in fact i liked winmo for exchange support more.

so if you guys have to make a choice which one would you like to go for.

Waiting for your honest advise.
[HD2 General] etix:
HD2 is best looking phone IMO, problem is, WM is running. I chose a Desire because of that, not the same looks, but same specs + Android.

Aka, Desire if i had to pick.
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
i played arround with android on my hd2 and now i wish i had a desire... android seems more like what win mobile should have been... althogh android is so young... android is much more smoother and the integration with google, gmail, social networks is much better than win mo... on top of that the market has much more options that win mo...

AFAIK froyo supports exchange server...
[HD2 General] xprav:
my bad...i posted a Q earlier that is HD2 the best option, and i was suggested that HD2 is indeed the best option as compared to any phone including Desire...

desire has a plastic body...so that is something i wouldnt like much...and above all HD2 has the best display
[HD2 General] etix:
You forget the main thing, it runs Windows...
[HD2 General] joshoon:
At it runs beautiful!
[HD2 General] sike222:
again for me this is a no brainer just buy the hd2 and if you want run the desire android build.

that way you can have both in one handset with a bigger screen.
[HD2 General] sandeeppathak007:
so seems that everyone suggest that I should go with Android ?

so now if i flash a android ROM on HD2 will it be as good as Desire since desire was made for Android.

Also do we have a stable Android ROM for HD2 ?

Please help guys i got to buy it in 2 to 3 days

Regards

sandeep
[HD2 General] ap3604:
IMO the Hd2 is much better than any android device out there currently.

The Hd2 is NOT a capable Android device. I had a Nexus One that I sold to get the Hd2 off of craigslist for cheap thinking I could run both. Only problem with that is the fact that your running an entire operating system off of the SD card on a phone not designed to run it at all.

People that have never used Android will say it runs fine on the Hd2, but I had the Nexus One for 6 months and I can really feel the slowdown and battery issues.

I would recommend the Hd2 to anyone I know but NOT if you need to have Android. I like WM 6.x much better on my Hd2 over Android...

Cmon man don't act like a little girl about this decision. If you want the Hd2 then go for it but dont try to act like we are really going to be the determining factor that makes the decision by rushing us. Yeah we might tell you something you like but have a pair and make a good decision yourself ;)
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
i dont know why but the desire feels like a girls phone :)

my choice would be hd2 :) WinMo is way better than android to me...only boot android occasionally to play some games or use some apps that are missing in Winmo :) its a win win situation

Only crap about the support is the waiting time on the phone. First the voice told me i had to wait 10 min and after all i got some one on the phone after 40....:mad:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] marty1976:
Hi all,

is there a way to hide certain media (in this case: videos) from the media scanner so they do not show up in the media list?

I do not want my wife to know what kind of p.0n I'm wathing on my phone :p

To be precise: Nothin' illegal, just the usual stuff, but she's almost fundamentally catholic :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fireloon:
Just make a file called ".nomedia" and put it in that folder

From my Galaxy S loonie-phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NorcoFox:
I would be quite interested in this too.. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marty1976:
And how do I re-run the media scan?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Falloutboy2000:
just delete, copy or move a file in the the stock browser . then it should do it automaticly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ukdtweak:
Or connect USB and mount the drives, then dissconnect, scanner will run automatically :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
reboot phone, kill two birds with one stone, mostly reply in case this helps a future viewer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
Put said videos in a folder starting with . for example...

/sdcard/media/.secret/stuff/

The content in .secret will not be visible in any normal file explorer or file chooser, appear in galleries or media scanners. You will have to use a file explorer that has a "show hidden files" option to see these.

Optionally you may use .nomedia to hide these in a general sense. However not all third party software will honour these tags.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danmullen:
LOL I like that you don't want her to know what kind of "p.0n" you are watching... presumably that means there are some kinds she would approve of, but they aren't the kind you have on your phone :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marty1976:
LOL, ack! She's into the "normal" stuff that we watch together, but I also like... well, that doesn't belong here, but anyway I'd like to explicitly state it's nothing illegal...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SGSI:
You could also use "Vaulty Free" app that moves selected images and videos into a virtual vault which then requires a password to open and view. This also ensures that they do not show up in gallery and video player.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aditya_t90:
Look at my signature.

Put all your secret files in /sdcard/.secret/Secret Stuff.jpg

Then use my app to start the media scanner when you need to scan.

Look at the link in my signature.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kanemari:
so how would this work if you wanted to hide media in game directories? its quite irritating to have the media player list the thousand small wav and mp3 files that are part of games i have on my SD, and renaming the dir to one with a dot in the front will break the path to it.

any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aditya_t90:
Put a blank file named

.nomedia in the directory of the game sounds folder.

Sent from my mothership
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Agreed....

I have several .nomedia files in different folder Apps that contain graphics.

Stops them showing up in the Gallery App.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gaelynx:
Using a .nomedia file works fine for video game folders but if you add one to a music folder to hide the album art thumbnails from the gallery then this also hides the music files from the music player !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taomyn:
I think you can get around this by embedding the folder art into the music files themselves - I had to do this to my entire collection as my car player would only see them in the MP3s and not as separate files :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danmullen:
That's exactly what I do. Mp3tag is a good, free program for doing this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hipher:
Try changing the album image's name to albumart.jpg (or watherver file type it is). It is no loger shown in the gallery. Only problem is you can only have 1 image per folder. I have not tried with variantas such as albumart_1 and so on, but it may work...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rasebo:
Thanks, .nomedia worked fine for me, but I think there really should be an option in the OS to either leave the scanner on auto (so it could scan all the phone's storage), or to manually select the folders that contain my media files.

EDIT: I opened-up a ticket here (I took the liberty to include some other ideas I found in this thread).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MoWa22:
Hello,

When I got my SGS it only ate 2-3% of the battery during the night. Since then I've tried many different firmwares, currently on the latest JM6, and all of them have had a very annoying problem. It eats 8-10% of the battery during night. I haven't changed anything, wifi is "always on" to avoid it eating battery using 3G. Ofcourse I've tried turning it off, too. The funny thing is that using Spare Parts it seems like it's the "suspend" process using a lot of CPU, which I believe it definately shouldn't. Some times after flashing it seems okay and can sleep properly, but then it goes haywire again - without having installed anything since it worked. Anyone else having "suspend" process using a lot of CPU?

To test, install Spare Parts. Plug in the charger, and remove it again to reset stats (Spare Parts uses some system app to show the CPU usage, and its default view is "since last unplugged", very practical). Go to bed. Sleep. Wake up. Start Spare Parts. Select "Battery History". Click "Other usage", select "CPU usage". Wait for half a minute or so (it needs to load data, if you click anything now you won't get CPU time used). Find the "suspend" process. Check how much CPU it has used.

I might add, that this doesn't seem to have anything to do with wake locks, it's something strange in the system itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
