[Captivate General] Jim_C:
Guys,

I was wondering...since there are so many new people coming to Android from

wherever (yeah, I really know...I'm one of 'em), wouldn't it be prudent to put

something out that gives us the basics? You know, basic root (unpackaged),

maybe the Lag Fix, Clockwork recovery, Titanium backup, bloatware removal,

etc. I was thinking of maybe individual things that a person could do as they

gained more knowledge and insight into Android. I tried UTB 0.2 and had it fail on

my phone. I couldn't get into the Market at all, so I flashed back to JH3 where

everything is working (reasonably) well. I understand about the GPS issues, and

will just have to bide my time there. Anyhow, just an idea...
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Step One: Read the stickies.

Step Two: ??

Step Three: PROFIT!
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
I did nothing.

I didn't root. Because I don't care about the bloatware or the out-of-market apps.

I don't use task manager or killer or whatever it is called. I don't care what's running in the background.

I don't have any of the battery widgets. I couldn't care less about the temperature of the battery.

I just keep using it as a phone. And so far so good. It gives me a full day of regular usage and I am happy.

If there is one thing I did change the phone, it is that I installed ADW.Launcher because TouchWiz is just ugly.

It is weird to say this in this forum, but Android is not just about rooting or hacking. It is still an OS that can be used out of the box.
[Vibrant General] fykick:
Has anyone seen this?

Not sure what caused it to pop up, but it came up after I tried to install the manual lag fix linked in the vibrant6 thread. Then went away shortly after I rebooted. Just thought I'd ask if anyone had an idea of the purpose of this.
[Vibrant General] Zhousibo:
Hey dude. Very strange as I got this about half an hour ago. Had to restart and some of my widgets had loading problems and had to be restored.

Haven't noticed any other issues but weird and slightly disconcerting. Fyi, I have stock firmware (dxjg4) and no lag fix so even stranger. Also Galaxy I 9000.

If you have had a problem with 3 versions, it you'll get more response if you ask in the thread of the Android build you are using.

1) do a task 29 and reflash ur chuckydroid rom

2) change ur radio to 2.12.50.02.2

3) reformat ur SD card and put only the "android" folder from which ever build u are using into the SD card and allow it to boot into android properly before adding apps, APKs pictures, musics, videos and what nots onto the SD card..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nardone24:
On top of all that in winmo turn off or uncheck all the baclight settings and calibrate the g sensor

then go itno Android and turn off the auto rotate. With this and the above mentioned you will be good to go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Id wait a few seconds before trying to unlock it. Usually it will come out if you let it sit for a minute. I also sometimes hit the call button and that wakes it up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nickolaskg:
When that happens, pressing back button repeatedly usually helps after 5 or 6 clicks. Or try holding the power button for a few seconds... The power off dialog will pop up, knocking the phone out of sleep.

Also, old versions of mattc , you would press the power button to unlock the phone, the newer is now the home button, which works almost every time.

How this helps.

This is what I did and my phone has not had the sod for the past 15 hours.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Whenever I've had problems with going from standby to lock screen is has been due to being spastic and hitting the hangup button too much. Also I've read that an autokill during standby setting in the task killer app can cause this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] creed:
SOD's!

mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.6 was my first build running with Chucky's DROID ROM. As most people know there was a big problem with SOD's.

Then I changed to FroyoStone Version 1 with ChuckyDROIDROM again and this ones just as bad. The Radio I used with both is 2.10.50.08_2

I'm going back to Winmo if the next build I try keeps doing this. Every time the device goes into sleep for any length of time (>3 minutes) it can't be reawakened making Android unusable for me.

EDIT: 'change ur radio to 2.12.50.02.2' I did this and touch wood I have not had an SOD yet after 8 hours! This is on FroyoStone Version 1 build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] netman7x:
Thanx all i changed to Radio_2_12_50_02_2 and all is good i have been running for 3 days strait no sod at all :) still have the touch screen fail but its better
[HD2 General] hassan023:
Hi i bought a tmobile hd2 and unlocked it and I'm currently using it on AT&T network. I already did the MMS settings and all that but the phone is connecting online on its own. I would have the phone in my pocket or just on the table and when i pick it up to use it ill find it connected. I already downloaded No Data program. But I didn't disable Media net coz I can't send or receive MMS without it. The phone shouldn't connect online on its own (it does only when MMS is being sent or received). I'm running stock ROM. Can anyone help me plz figure this out.
[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
have you went into settings and turned data connections off?
[HD2 General] hassan023:
yeh I already did, and still it will go online , and i find Dana Connection set to ON
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Did you go into the weather settings and uncheck for it to download automaticlly?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
There's a bunch of different apps/processes on this phone that will auto-update and turn on the data connection whenever they're set to. Weather, twitter, stocks, etc, plus anything you might have installed since with auto-updating. For example, Google Latitude can login to update your position even if you're not actively using google maps.
[HD2 General] hassan023:
I found out that when i go to data services, facebook is set to ON. so do u think thats whats causing it to connect? when it connects it will stay connected till i manually discconect it. Do u think if i go back and enable media net from No Data it will start connecting again? The reason I had it on coz I synced my contacts with their facebook profiles to ge their facebook pics as contact pics.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Yup that is most likely your problem. Go into the settings for your FB updates and uncheck the option to update automaticly.
[HD2 General] hassan023:
thx for the tip :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guysu:
Hi there,

I have yet another strange problem on my HD2 (T-Mobile).

My ROM (if relevant) is the original version that came with the phone - 2.13.531.1

when i look into the album, i can see pictures from all kind of sources: wallpapers, camera roll, facebook, internet pages i visited...

Even if i delete the pictures, after i visit facebook pages, they're back on.

any clues as to how to fix this?

Thanks,

Guy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yorkshire Yellow:
Not sure if this will do what you want, but on starting on Sense albums tab:

Albums > More > [select desired folder] > Menu > Set Album as Favorite > Ok > tap 'x' to close

Photos in your selected album should now be the only ones which show, and no others.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josemedina1983:
Same Problem Im having also every single ringtone and game sound get into my song list in my mp3 player.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guysu:
Thanks for your suggestion i already applied it previously.

This solves half the problem, since after i take a photo, if i press on the arrow that takes me back to the photo album, then it takes me back to the photo album that displays all the duplicates, facebook pics, etc...

only if i access the photo album from the home tabs (manila menu), it shows the favorite album i assigned.

I assume that something got mixed up in registry, maybe after i installed Hebrew language.

did anyone encounter this issue ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daarrheel:
I am also having this issue, it is rather annoying to say the least.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] bmxrider4444:
Saw this on the Evo forums and figured it would help some people out over here that may not have gotten their MSL yet. As the app says it may freeze your phone, if this happens you WILL need to do a battery pull, sorry just a side effect, also this is great for people wanting to flash their phones to other carriers, updating your PRL manually, and a few other uses. Also just about every Verizon phone i've laid my hands on have had the MSL/SPC "000000", so please report back if it differs from this, as i have yet to try it on the Incredible.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ashdawg4:
So in theory, you could get an evo and use it on verizon's network?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wowthatisrandom:
not really, the esn wont show up in verizons system and unless you could get a phone rep to add the esn to the network (cloning may work not to sure on that one)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] leebsammy:
Interested. Tell me more.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ashdawg4:
Could always try to sweet talk a rep into adding it for you. Something along the lines of: I lost my phone and I have no insurance on the phone. I don't have the money to outright buy another phone so I purchased one from my friend, can you please add it for me? (can get Evo's from craigslist for around 300-350)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gedster314:
Ummm...because I have 500 anytime, free nights after 7, unlimited weekends, unlimited texts, true unlimited data (no caps) all for the price of $25.43 per month. And most importantly, I'm using an Incredible on it. I won't be giving up Sero anytime soon.

Granted I left Verizon 4 years ago but have been very happy with Sprint. I will say that Verizon does have better coverage but Sprint works fine in my area and I have not had too many coverage issues while traveling.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] velopirate:
Wow. If SERO were around for the masses, a lot of us would consider that (if we had friends who work for Sprint). Great price!

The redesigned youtube mobile site was previewed some weeks ago, but my tmobile desire contributed to use the old version until this morning. I have done nothing to change my browser or such-like, so I assume that google has flipped a switch somewhere.

[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
An alternative I use is having an Asterisk server at home and use IAXAgent from the market. IAX does not have the problems that SIP does when going over NAT. I can make calls over 3G or wifi. A lot of SIP providers also provide IAX accounts. IAX is just a better way to go for making calls over the Internet. SIP is excellent for the LAN.
[EVO 4G General] notmike:
Oops.. the method I posted actually works on 3g and 4g also, it's only the VPN that requires Wifi, I had worded it incorrectly, now it's fixed. (thank you)

I looked into setting up an asterisk server, but I didn't want to have to depend on my own server or home connection being available whenever I needed it, especially when I was traveling for more than a week.

Is IAX the same as a trunk, does it cost anything to connect to land lines or cellphones?
[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
True, you method does make SIP work because you are using a VPN. IAX is an alternative to SIP. It is NAT friendly, and as long as the port is not blocked, it just works. Though, there are a fewer choices for clients compared to SIP. IAX was created by the Asterisk team. I do not know of any VOIP systems that support IAX, bug that does not mean they dont exist. I am a heavy Astersk guy, so IAX was my cup of tea.
[EVO 4G General] ShoxV:
What advantages does this have over google voice?

I'm curious cause i'll be going to england soon and would be nice to make calls over wifi.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
None, in fact, it his disadvantages (See below). Also, most businesses, schools, etc. will block just about every VPN method. OpenVPN is the most flexible one I have found, which might be able to sneak around by using alternate sub-1000 ports (which most places won't block, since they require root access on whatever server they're running from).

OP: Might wanna take a look at this...

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/supervpn.net
[EVO 4G General] notmike:
Not sure what you're talking about, it saved me hundreds of dollars in roaming minutes while I was in Belize. Some places do block vpns I'm sure but I never had any issues, but you don't need the vpn itself unless you're in a country that blocks voip altogether, at which point occasional vpn is greater than no vpn.

Also supervpn was the only method I found that actually works on android, I think the risks referenced in that link you posted really only apply to desktop vpn use, not phones. Openvpn is great for somewhat advanced users and if you have a computer you can depend on as a server while you're out of the country for days or weeks, this guide isn't meant for someone capable of managing that.

As for Google voice, it just initiates an inbound call to your actual cell number, which does zero good when you're trying to avoid roaming. Now the new gmail implementation of voice shows promise as an actual voip solution, but currently that version is desktop only from what I can tell.

Since Tmobile has only one update out, i went to htc.com ,,support

and selected different countries like Main Europe, Asia, and Middle East and Africa. I noticed that most of these websites for these countries have many software updates and downloads. Only about 2 updates in each say ROM, but the rest say only update and have specific titles like : Facebook Album, SMS function, Arabic Language Support , and such.

Am I able to download those on my tmobile hd2 (running stock ROM) or the phone will be bricked?
[HD2 General] oshizzle1991:
i would just HSPL your phone man. even with these updates your phone really still is obsolete when it comes to phones that have custom firmware (especially android ;) )
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
they wouldn't install anyway, you would run them, they would check the version of your phone and say "not suitable for your device".

as above, cooked roms are probably the way to go.

Hi,

I've got an unbranded, generic UK Desire, and my girlfriend has a Desire from Vodafone (no branding). We are both running Froyo now (she got her upgrade yesterday).

One thing I noticed is that her keyboard is slightly different. Whereas I have a button at the bottom (2nd from left) with "En" (for English), she has a microphone button for voice dictation.

I'd much rather have the microphone since I only use one language and don't need to swap between other languages. I've de-selected other languages in options, but I can't see where I can replace the "En" with the microphone.

Anybody got any ideas? I'm hoping this is just a setting and it's not something Vodafone have baked into their ROM.

Thanks.

Hi I just received my galaxy, so possible a NOOB problem.

The problem is that I have a google calendar, and on my phone it sees both the appointments I have done on the phone and the google appointments - so this is fine.

If I make a appointment via a computer at the net on the google calendar, then it will show up on the phone calendar - this is fine.

BUT if I make an appointment on the phone - it will not show up on the google calendar on the net.

It seems like the phone uses "My Calendar" which is not synced with the google calendar - so have I missed a setting somewhere?
