[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
Hi Everyone,

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm fairly good with Android/computer-y stuff in general, but I have absolutely no experience with VPNs so my knowledge of them is very limited.

I know that if I set up a VPN with my home network, I'll be able to access things like private network shares over the internet. This is great, but I'm curious if I can use the VPN to route my phone's network traffic through my home internet connection? I know it'll add latency, but I'm mainly interested in giving my phone the same external IP as my home network, even while out and about. I feel it'd probably help from when I'm on IRC and the phone disconnects and reconnects every time I connect to Wireless, but if it was all done over VPN, it shouldn't matter. Is this possible with a VPN, or do I still have to go about setting up a proxy server?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tander_ZA:
When you connect to your home VPN - it's IP range will be the same as if you were at home, connected normally to the wifi network. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
Now that's what I wanted to know! Thanks, Tander!

I was just wondering if anyone else was getting very fast 3g speeds like I am running android. On winmo I get around 1000 kbps and when running android I get over 6000. I'm not complaining I'm just astonished by how much fast my speeds have been.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcaj32:
I see that you are using Opera Mini. You should know how opera mini works:

You request a page (mobilespeedtest.com) -> request is sent to opera server -> opera server sends the request to mobilespeedtest.com -> mobilespeedtest.com sends reply to opera server -> opera server recreates the page -> opera server send the recreated page to your browser.

So the speed you see on the browser is the speed between the opera server and mobile speed test server.

Android has a good app to check speeds. search for speed test in the market. The app by speedtest.net is good and will give you accurate results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evolutionqy7:
you used speedtest.net app :) gives good results

you can also choose a server nearby you

Just wondering if anyone can provide me with the list of manila filenames I need to work with to create a full slider (slider icons, slider bar, large icons, etc). I've been staring at CFC-GUI for hours now and have managed to find some of them, but when I've looked at the XMLs in other slider cabs there seems to be much variation in the manila files contained. Now very confused with sore head :eek:

Anyone got any painkillers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] j4n87:

[GAME] Chip Challenge Remake

Hi everyone, we are pleased to announce our new mobile game Chip Challenge for Android.

Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=LQbmKZ0R0Tc

Google Play: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emsoftworks.chipschallenge

Logical and insights turn-based game that will test your brain and fast fingers

Logical and insights turn-based game inspired by classic Chip's Challenge. In 110 levels you will test your brain and your skills to complete each level in the smallest number of moves as quickly as possible. Levels are stacked by the difficulty from easiest to very tricky, which are a real challenge.

The task is to collect all the chips in the shortest time and minimize the number of moves to deliver chips to the processor (CPU). Your way will complicate obstacles, locked doors, moats, but also enemies and dangerous turrets. Each level is unique and your best results are recorded and compared with the results of other players when you are online. Every level shows the current top players both in terms of time and in terms of the shortest path to overcoming levels.

Levels 0-50 are completely free. Levels 51-110 are premium and are divided into two packages. After buying the premium package levels, these levels are playable offline and you don't have to be connected to the Internet.

Thank you

Im pretty sure it was on the menu before but havent used my HD2 in a couple of days and now i cant find it.

Help Please.

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionCarl:
by menu do u mean the slider tab one???settings>personalize> home screen tabs if thats what you mean!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Michael__L:
Just a quick question, as skype is not available for the Galaxy S, can anyone recommend an alternative app?

I still want to use my skype account, and the credit on that to make calls, mainly to france.

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] G.HendriX:
Nimbuzz can use skype accounts (as well as a lot of others...)

I suggest to give it a try

regards

home:

http://www.nimbuzz.com/
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Michael__L:
Thanks.

It seems like the best option, but can I make skype-out calls with it using my skype credit?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
you can also use Fring which supports Video Calling over IP
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] INeedYourHelp:
I'm still looking for one that will allow me to chat via video with pc skype users.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Michael__L:
Thanks guys. I'll give these a try tomorrow.

Why can't Skype just make a proper app for Skypeout, eh ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
There was a android version out, but limited to some mobiles, providers and just USA i think..

Dunno why no skype app is available for us..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tim182:
Skype blocked Fring.

Nimbuzz works on SGS and supports Skype out... Few bugs but ok to use.

And that's it, nothing else for skype available at the moment
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dakine:
I use Nimbuzz but like others mentioned it is pretty buggy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tkalli:
Searching will find 'com.skype.android.lite.apk'

Haven't tried it, but it is available.​
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lokhor:
so Apple's Facetime is somewhat unique since we can't do Video calling over IP on the SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Michael__L:
Thanks guys. Now using Nimbuzz, found my Skype credit, now testing over the weekend :D

Edit: Crap, the calls go through, ring, but when the person on the other end picks up, there is silence at both ends. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slaman:
We can't do video chat using Google Chat? I'm surprised!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yuzaman:
for moment whe can use iMovicha ... this program allow video chat also with client pc or with other phone with the same program instaled .. but , whe miss fring or some version skype for android
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] thE_29:
I wonder when someone creates a facetime compatible app (either on PC or android or any other device).

Would be great..

And why skype isnt able to make a new androidversion is also a good question..

[Droid Eris General] johnnyboy1549:
My phone shows facebook photos in my dialer and handcent. Always has.
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
This means you're either using older facebook apps, or you're using Android 1.6 still. This only affects newer FB apps and Android 2.0+.
[Droid Eris General] truelove79:
Facebook pics show up in chompsms just fine for me.
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
Just drop the "adb shell" from the beginning. Make sure you're root, of course.
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
Yes, if you're using Android 1.6, or an older version of the FB app that didn't restrict the contacts.
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
would this cause my phone to freak out lock-ups and reboots

what is the best way to apply this i just did a full wipe

going to apply first thing...
[Droid Eris General] timmywa:
I get sqlite3: file not found. on xtrROM 4.0.6.1 with facebook 1.3.2
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
You'll need to get sqlite3. Most custom roms have it. I think a few stock ones do, as well, actually. Should be easy to find.
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
No, I don't think it would. This is exactly what I've done on my own XaosFroyo V30. No issues.
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
ok i have an issue i used to use sync my pix from the market

i unistalled it a while back but no matter what the older pics always comeback

even if i flashed a new rom or wipe

seems like it wont sync with the newer pics

is there a way to fix this
[Droid Eris General] pinksocker69:
Killer work man this had been bugging me for a minute.
[Droid Eris General] truelove79:
Im running KaosFroyo v31 and my facebook app is the most recent 1.3.2. Facebook contacts pics work just fine in chompsms. Maybe the chompsms dev just knows what he's doing.
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
The syncmypix app actually uploads pictures to your google contacts, so now anytime you sync your google contacts, those pics will come back. You can remove them by going to gmail on a computer, clicking "Contacts", and removing them manually. I'm looking around, but I don't see any nice way to do a bunch at once.
[Droid Eris General] magicelf:
Can anyone else besides OP confirm that this works? Just wanna make sure it's working for more than one person before I try it...
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
Ok not a problem im a loser not many contacts...:D

Will post back results
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
WORKED perfectly

thank you sir
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
I have a hard time believing that -- have you used syncmypix or a similar app to synchronize the FB pics to your google contacts? It's a known issue on Chomp that it can't access the FB pics, see here on their official issues tracker and FAQ:

Facebook Contact Pictures? - chompSMS

chompSMS - FAQ

Downloading and testing now. I'm now running V31 as well, so our setup should be durn near the same.
[Droid Eris General] SplicedX:
I'm running xtrROM 4.0.6.1 and I use handcent. I have all current versions including facebook app and everything works just fine.
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
Well, downloaded and tested, and contrary to their own FAQ, it does see the facebook pics. I investigated a bit, and it looks like they're querying the raw_contacts table directly, essentially working around the API. Nice to know that's possible, but I doubt a lot of other apps will do that. If you look at the extended permissions for chompSMS, you'll see that it has the ability to "discover known accounts". Also, if you look at the changelog, it says that it prefers google contact pics (if they exist) over the facebook ones, which means it isn't using the aggregation API's. I expect that chompSMS is smart enough to look for the facebook account, find it, and query the database in sneaky ways to grab the contact info. It has to be "facebook restriction" aware, though. The fix in the OP will enable it on all 3rd party apps that use the standard API's, no dev effort required.

OP updated, thanks for the report.
[Droid Eris General] johnnyboy1549:
I have the most up to date facebook and im on a froyo rom.
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
Hey zanfur i think it worked but how come the last comments by my friends don't show up in the contacts???

But it does in my girls eris
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
User truelove79 reported the same thing for chompSMS, so I looked into it a bit more, and I retract what I said about Handcent and chompSMS. I've personally verified the others on the list, though -- they have no FB pics originally, and with this fix, they do. Handcent and chompSMS *did* have the same problem, but they worked around it with FB-specific code (I assume).

You say your "dialer". Which dialer are you using? "Dialer One" distinctly did not have FB pics, although the stock dialer did.
[Droid Eris General] bendbowden:
Worked great for LauncherPro in Nonsensikal. Thanks!
[Droid Eris General] malpracti:

[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
zanfur this is awesome. Thank you for your hard work. I hope you don't mind, but I created a .bat file with your code to make it easier for people to use.

*I DID NOT WRITE THE CODE FOR THIS* zanfur gets all created for this fix. I simply put the code in a .bat file.

All you need to do is put the file in the tools folder of your sdk and type facebookfix.bat in adb and your done.

Thanks again zanfur!!

This should be moved to general android, worked on my Droid1 perfectly.
[Droid Eris General] kzoodroid:
I first tried typing the commands in manually but got an error saying something about command WHERE not recognized or not supported or something lijke that.

So I tried running the batch file but get an error "trigger unrestricted_new_data already exists"

So does that mean my first attempt probably worked?
[Droid Eris General] kzoodroid:
Answered my own question as pictures are not showing up in Google Voice even after a reboot. So I looked at how to remove the trigger so I could get the new one in place. Tried various combinations of "rm" and "drop" trigger from what I found by googling remove trigger but all I get is command not recognized. any one know what to do?
[Droid Eris General] zanfur:
The command is "DROP TRIGGER <triggername>".

Cheers!
[Droid Eris General] abhishek92:
wud it work wid l8r fb versions like 1.4.x?should i do it in recovery mode?(htc legend..s-on..cm7)
[Droid Eris General] WarDrake:
Gingerbread has the same issue, the path to the file in gingerbread is /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.contacts/contacts2.db

the fix works, but new contacts can't be added, this however might be because i edited the db in my desktop instead the overwrote it instead of doing it directly on the phone.

Update when the procedure is executed on the phone on the database directly, it all work fine.

If you must edit db in a computer (you probably don't have sqlite3) after you overwrite the file with the changed one, make sure it is owned by user and grou "app_0" if not, execute command : chown app_0:app_0 contacts2.db

if you do not set the owner correctly, you won't be able to delete, edit or add any contacts to your phone.
[Droid Eris General] shawn222:
This seems like an absolutely amazing tip! I've tried it on my Samsung Galaxy S2 but I get a message that sqlite3 can't be found. Does anyone know if there is an alternative way to do this on phones which don't have sqlite3, I hear most phones don't.

I really want to apply this fix, mostly for the sake of Go SMS.

Thanks,

Shawn

Hello,

did anyone figure out, how to adjust the volume of the original alarm clock?

It is terrible to get woken up by such a high volume... I can't figure out how to adjust it. There is no menu in the alam clock app as on the default android app, pressing the volume buttons inside the alarm clock only adjust ring volume... no way to set it in settings, notification volume also doesn't affect the alarm volume level.

Any clues? :confused:

best,

sunnnny
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] link87:
try with AudioManager. You can find it in the market
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] teapea:
I replaced my original alarm clock with "Alarm Klock" - much more customisable and can set the volume to a percentage of the notification volume as well as fading it up. You can also alter your snooze length - which is perfect as I like mine at 7 mins!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sunnnny:
AudioManager adjusts the alarm volume of android - but the SE alarm clock ignored it :mad:

So - no luck. Apparently I really have to use an alternative alarm clock.

Will try "Alarm Klock" next, thanks!
