Never thought to look there. haha.. It says 512 rom and 576 ram right on the back of the box
[Desire General] geetarman:
Glad to here that. Especially helps hearing this from someone who has used both the desire and galaxy s. The size is a big thing for me. The galaxy i think is just too big for me.
[Desire General] geetarman:
Awesome!!!! Now if Cellular south would just hurry up and release the thing.

Thanks purezero
[Desire General] primerorico:
Yes, I got the phone back on Friday. Love it. it has 512MB ROM and 576MB RAM. I'm on the phone waiting to speak with a USCC engineer for more info on potential 2.2 Froyo update. *fingers crossed*

I will also continue looking on the forums here. If anyone knows a thread that would be helpful in this and shorten my search, I would appreciate it. 1st post on the forums here. forums look like they have good potential for me.

Cheers!
[Desire General] xecuter2:
Just got this as well.. LOVE IT!I can't do anything to slow it down and now that uscc has 3g roaming on vz and sprint, it is SICK. Now hopefully it can be rooted and custom roms will come out for it soon..
[Desire General] primerorico:
i just confirmed with the u s cellular engineer. we are going to get 2.2... however it's going to be at least a month before we see anything, most likely two. The good news is at least we now know It's coming.

BTW, i'm using the desire right now to turn my speech into text. it does a pretty good job, i only have to correct it once in a while. :)
[Desire General] celticchrys:
I don't notice any lagging on mine so far.
[Desire General] celticchrys:
That's good to hear. I figured that it had to be sooner rather than later, since Foyo has already been rolling out for the GSM Desire in Europe.

MyContactsBackup apk name?

I've rooted mine via unrevoked and removed CityID, but I'd like to also remove US Cellular's MyContactsBackup app.... however, I can't find any apks in the system folder that are obviously this app.

Does anyone know the name of this apk file?

Thanks.
[Desire General] Taulbee:
Did you check in its folder in the /data file? It might be there.
[Desire General] celticchrys:
Thanks for the suggestion. I've just had a look in /data, and I still don't see anything named remotely like My Contacts Backup.

I know I can do it with voice call, but can I with SMS?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omaga:
No you cant set sms notification for 1 contact, dont ever heard that any phone can that. Maybe with some app?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
Well back in some dark past Symbian v3 could.

I was able to set it individually for each contact using some app.. I believe it was "Rock.Your.Mobile.MessageTones.v1.00.S60v3.SymbianOS9.1"

I'm kinda surprised this functionality is not available for SGS/Android, especially seeing how advanced the system itself is. Maybe is it possible to develop such app? Or is it definately a no-go?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omaga:

[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I'm very new to android development and java. Being a C/C++ programmer for 20 years, I was glad to see that JNI can be used to do the heavy lifting and I've done a few apps this way with good success.

Now I have a task that requires elevated privilege. I am able to do this within my JNI code by calling system() like so:

system("su -c 'mypath/myexe'");

Where "myexe" is a native executable (ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped) compiled with the ndk tools supplied with the repo distribution for eclair.

This is the only way I've found to run a process at elevated privilege that manages to call the SuperUser app prompting the user for permission (which is what I want to ensure a properly rooted device).

The problem is that I cannot get my helper app into the distribution. I can manually push it to the device and my app functions perfectly, but how do I add it to the apk so that it is deposited in the appropriate directory (I would guess something like /data/data/com.[mybase].[myapp]/[bin or lib])?

Or, is there a better way to execute an elevated operation (using the Superuser app)?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I discovered a way to do what I want by adding the helper binary as a "raw" resource, then using getResources().openRawResource() to copy it to the file I want on the filesystem.

I still think there's got to be a better way.

Oh and xpoloxp, I'll take a moment and teach you how to reply to threads that are legitimately in the wrong forum:

Your reply:

"generallll generallll there is a general seccion why you post here i still dont understand..."

How about this to have a touch of civility instead:

"There is a general section in case you didn't know and your post probably belongs there."

There! See how that makes one sound human while not mindlessly debasing someone and ASSUMING that they (when you said you) post things in the wrong forum all the time.

Hi all have had my HD2 for 3 months now and have all the usual issues and it has been back to Vodafone a few times I dont really want to get rid of it as it is perfect size etc for vids and calendar sms for and an old codger like me for work with bad eyesight..

Heres the question I am not brain of britain at this sort of thing and want to know if there is an Android .exe I can run from my micro sd card that has all the upgraded stuff you need for a stable phone........I can add apps and that sort of thing but my technical knowledge is somewhat vague....I dont understand what Froyo is and your terms for radio this that and the other and could be surfing on here for days and not understand much....

I understand the dual boot bit as in the Windows operating system ( or not as the case is )

and Android effectively runs over the top of it but thats as far as I can get...

Any help would be gratefully received..

ps has anyone else had their phone dial out evertime you play a track on Nitro?....I came back from France to find each time I changed a song it dialed hope for 10 seconds and had a huge bill of .75p connection charge some 90 odd times......
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thatruth132:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLAST3RR:
Android is in fact a whole other system compared to Windows Mobile, and as of now, it isn't completely finished/'out of beta' yet. It is still less stable than Windows Mobile is on your device.

What I do suggest you to do is take a look at this thread, and get started with HSPL'ing your phone, so you can install a custom ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

The phone dialing out is one thing it shouldn't be doing for sure.

Actually sounds like a trojan horse.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raudi1:
Did you change the song with your wired headset? Because it can be used to dial the last dialed number that could be your problem. Also some earphones/speakers without a button can sometimes initiate it when you move the plug around....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Fedr0:

Well, that's no way to treat a fellow! Y'ought to explain to 'im.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raudi1:
Android on the HD2 is not finished yet (and will always require things like flashing or other not noob safe things) and has therefore some bugs, problems and limitations. For someone who isn't that good with technical things and hasn't read/understood all those guides it could cause some problems and misunderstandings etc. I can imagine someone sending in his HD2 for repair because his ambient light sensor doesn't work in Android:eek:...

...or at least opening some threads here and asking tons of dumb questions that could be easily answered by reading the stickies or using the search.

back to the topic:

There is no such .exe file. To Run Android you only need to run a .exe and a few files with it. But without a suitable Radio (the part of you operating system that is responsible for Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and everything else that sends/receives data over the air), you will get problems. But finding and updating a suitable Radio sadly isn't as easy as running a .exe

But there are many guides on it which should help you, in case you still want to do it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joshkoss:
Buddy,

Right at the top of the forum here there are sticky threads that contain all the information you need to get HD2 running android. Please post you're questions there instead of opening a new thread.

Hi

I have problems with the superuser app in UnrEVOked3. It seems it cannot "remember" the Allow action in apps. When I try to backup either with mybackup pro or Titanium backup, it asks about permission 3-10 times pr. app it is trying to back up.

This makes it impossible to do backup of my apps.

Anyone else experience this or is it something wrong in my phone?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] NorskHelgen:
Just a question from a newer Motorola Milestone XT720 user. Now to my knowledge, my Canadian provider Rogers runs on 850/1900 bands and 850 for 3G. Now my problem is unlike my iPhone (I currently use the sim card from my iPhone 3G), my XT720 I assume is asian and it runs on 1700/2100 as most of you already know. So before I which to WINDmobile, which like T-Mobile runs on 1700/2100 and is the only Canadian provider that offer this, is there any way of flashing a rom to trick the device to change frequencies or any other techniques, or will I just simply have to switch over to WINDmobile services (unpreferable since it's a newer company, still not alot of coverage without roming fees)?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maestrol:
Hi,

I've an annoying problem after a stupid mistake.

I had too little space on my hero, so my plan was to copy my apps to SD.

When I bought my hero (second hands), there was already a bootprogram installed named RA-hero-v1.6.2. I knew there was an option called 'Move apps+dalv to SD'. So I'd tried it, but now after reboot my apps are gone..

After searching on the web I didn't find the solution.

I know it was dumb action..

I'm very grateful to you for helping me!

If you didn't add one, then you don't (presuming you didn't get someone else to set everything up).

If that's the case, you've lost your apps, although I would have thought AmonRA would check where it was about to move apps to.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glio1337:
I just received a new Captivate from Amazon.com and it has a very annoying problem.

Frequently the home screen button or back button are activated without actually being physically touched. At times I can even watch the home screen button flicker as it is "pressed" repeatedly and the home screen is cycled through.

As you can imagine this is a very annoying problem. A Google search shows that others have had this issue as well but their only solutions have been to return the phone for an exchange. As I am unable to do that at the moment (US phone, and I am overseas temporarily), I was wondering if anyone had any success fixing this problem by using the Odin package to 'reflash' the phone. I'm going to attempt the stock Eclair installation outlined in the Development section.

Any other ideas or suggestions would be welcomed!

No it does not. But you need the version of Odin that allows you to select specific firmware and the firmware file of course. The One Click Odin won't work.

[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
I just got my HD2 back from repairs after 1 month now, I had the problem where the phone freezes up when I recieve calls. This got fixed, and I have not noticed any of the symtoms I had earlier. But now...

1. The FM-Radio does not work.

2. When I connect my phone to my computer, my computer sais: "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. for assistance in solving this problem, click this message." And just connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect.

3. When I turn on my cellphone, I get a warning: BTTrayCE er ikke et gyldig Pocket Pc-program. (BTTrayCE is not a valid Pocket PC-program in English)

It just kills me that the phone that actually won the "Mobile of the year '09" by Amobil.no, sucks more than the Iphone.

Should I just send my phone back to repairs again, or do you guys have any idea how to fix this without using another month in repairs?

OS: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

ROM: 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR

[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
First off, I'm sorry to see that your phone is having these issues. Mine has worked like a charm ever since I installed the first custom ROM.

Now my question; have you HSPL'ed your phone yet?

You could try installing another (custom) ROM and a newer radio version to see if it helps.. It might aswell fix your problems.
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
I did use HSPL before I sent my phone to repairs, but it did not fix any problems, therefore I do not believe in HSPL'ing anymore.. I did not notice any difference at all, after installing a custom rom, or radio..
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
I see.. Have you tried Task29 yet? (Formatting it completely)

And then installing the latest Radio + a custom rom? (Before trying this, be SURE you have HSPL'ed it!)

If you've already tried that, I think the only thing you'd be able to do is to get a huge stone (or your HD2 itself), put a note on it saying 'It still does not work properly', and throwing it through the window of any HTC office in your country :rolleyes:.

Or just open a ticket/calling them saying it still doesn't work and that you demand a replacement/new phone, as how it is now it's kinda an expensive brick.
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
I just don't dare to do this, I have hacked TomTom, but this seems too dangerous, I'm still a noob in cellphone programming and stuff...

Do HTC even bother about their customers? Doesn't seem so, seeing that if the cellphone should have any problems of this sort, they say you will get a new phone. But rather getting a new phone, I got the old one back, in worse condition than before.

Also, I wonder if they can check my problems? Because we have a law in Norway, if the same problem occours after 3 times repaired, you can either get a new phone or money back (same with all other electronics). So could I just lie and say I have the same problem + the new problems? **** the ethics ..
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Task29 isn't that risky.. Just run HSPL again and get that done, then run the packed exe as found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644781. As long as you press the VolDown button when it restarts, you will be totally fine. However in your case, I'd indeed not expect much improvement, as it really seems to be a hardware problem.

I think it is all the same with those big corporations. One customer, who cares? As long as their phones sell, why would they bother? Same story all over again.

I'd go for the three strikes = new phone way. However, it does suck to have your phone taken away from you for another month or so..
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:

[HD2 General] xaccers:
Load the latest HTC stock ROM from their website, looks like yours is quite old.
[HD2 General] Jnygaard:
Guess what, it is the lastest stock, I just checked it.. Norwegian atleast, and I don't bother using other languages (even English). Just posted a ticket on HTC.com/no, and then I will send it to repairs again, and again, and then I'm changing to a Samsung Galaxy S..
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
I've heard Samsung support is even worse than HTC.. :o

But indeed, the Galaxy S does have features that our phone lacks.. Still, I think the HD2 looks more sexy.
