Yes, you can have a Droid X and still use your Blackberry in Europe. I was in Europe this summer and spoke with VZW about this. They just asked me if I would like to activate my Blackberry while I was overseas.

Then you talked to an idiot. If anything, 2.2 will improve battery life, but only if you use reasonable options, and even then the difference (either way) won't be dramatic.

Ive been on the phone with Sprint technical support multiple times and their answer is no, they can not revert the phone to 2.1.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattp_65:
Hello,

I have a AT&T HTC HD2 with android 2.2 Froyo build by Cyanogen MOD 6-RC2 (shubcraft V1.0).

I was wondering how to update to the most recent build which is V1.4d?

Right now I cannot get 3G, bluetooth, USB connection to PC, Low volume phone calls, no MMS, etc. And I looked at the 1.4 version and it looks like it solves all my bug problems. But I am noob when it comes to cell phones so I need a step by step process.

I had someone install the Android Froyo 2.2 but I want to learn how to do it myself. Please help me so I can fix my problems so I can enjoy more of my HD2.

Thanks in advance.

It's most probable that whomever installed android for you put the android files on your storage card. Either in the root directory or /android/. I recommend you read this thread. Since your device has already been set up for Android, you can start at Step 4. Do make sure you download the proper build first.

Good luck!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattp_65:
ok I will try that. And the person did put the android on my SD card. I think this is the proper build located here: ▐ BUILD▐ 23.08.2010▐ ★shubCRAFT 1.4d★▐ ★Kernel: ElBartoME 2.6.32.9 #1★ ▐

on this forum.

Do I just download this build and copy and paste to the desginated folder or do I replace the folder?

Thanks for the help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynot66:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dgovil:
So I just bought a Bell Vibrant(now rooted and unlocked on JG9) to switch away from an iPhone.

Now the one thing I did like on my iPhone was the basic email client it incuded in iOS4(though that was one heck of a bad upgrade otherwise). It had nice big text, displayed images well and by default(which i personally like) and had an integrated inbox. It also never failed to check mail.

SO on my Galaxy S, I installed K9 mail, which frankly is pretty awful, but i like it's integrated inbox. But it's inbox view is crowded with too many mails(even with the touch screen friendly UI turned on) , it requires me to select images per email and it's horrific at checking email behind the scenes, even if it's app is running. It also stalls if a server certificate expires(which is the servers fault, but it stalls all other working accounts too)

Any recommendations for something simple that supports IMAP/Pop3 and works as similiarly to the iphone mail client as possible? I can give up integrated mailbox if needed, but the mail itself is a necessity.

Thanks very much

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iammuze:
hello everyone, especially developers.

i have recently bought a pair of Beats by Dre headphones, which sound incredible so i'm keepin' em despite the following.

the headphones have a control/mic box on the line, for pausing music and changing the volume and ending calls and so forth without using the phone.

the problem is, the controls are built to work with iProducts, so the only thing that actually works on my N1 is the mic and play/pause button.

if an awesome dev out there could make an app that listened for the specific keys of the headset and translated them into the correct commands, or if said awesome dev could think of a more integrated way to do this (i'm on CM6) i could pay that dev money.

all i can really offer is $20, through paypal, but if anyone reading this thread feels for the cause, up the ante.

i'll provide any information you need, obviously.

this is what the controls should do:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] disgustip8ted:
this will be interesting to see if it can be done. I'm curious though, are the bands around the 3.5 jack in the exact same spots as the bands on the default android headphones that came with the n1? if not i doubt this will happen, if so then i suppose its a matter if someone can figure out what resistances come across when the buttons are pressed.

...holy crap, those instructions are pretty convoluted lol "press button in rapid succession while the wire is upside-down and the humidity in the air is above 80% while standing on your head to scan through a track"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneStepAhead:
i'll throw a dub at the dev that comes up with a solution for this as well. i don't personally use them, but my sister does and I know she'd love this functionality as she is blind, so controls on the headphones are a big help.

OP: if you hold in the talk button on your beats, does it launch voice command on the phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PhantomRampage:
I'll throw in $5 if this can be accomplished. Sorry it's not a lot, but college is expensive you know?

Same problem here... Beats By Dre Solo and Xperia X 10. Hope this isn't a hardware issue, guessing so though. Please help if you can! I will donate $20!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneRyt:
Hey,

just a toss out to you guys...

I just bought some Solo Beats by Dre, and they came w. The controltalk wire as a surprise bonus. Despite it being a bonus, I felt it was a better justification of the price range I paid. Nevertheless, to the point...

I have a Motorola Milestone on Telus, in Canada. When I realized it didn't work, I noticed that pushing the volume button "currently" mutes the call, and shortly thereafter ends it. Upon further investigation involving multiple repeat calls to a friend, I noticed that if u hold the volume button (either the - or +, doesn't matter) it mutes it, and u can continue the call and unmute it via the touchscreen. However, no voice through the controltalk mic. Letting go of the buttons results in terminating the call.

Positive results include pushing the centre button at particular levels, the other end hears a beep when u do this, and sometimes clicks.

I hope this helps in some way shape and form, if the open source community could bring Androids to these headphones lineup of phones they function with, you open up a whole other market for them! It's good publicity for the open source effort. (And not that smeary "open" crud toted in media to sate the dumb deaf and blind.)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneRyt:
Also, I move that this thread be sailed on over to that there Android Software Development forum, what say ye??? Yarrr
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneRyt:
Yarrrr, this is a currently relevant issue with Androids, and I don't have the ability to create new threads yet, therefore Im stuck groveling before you scallywags!

Let's have this thread moved please? :) (what pirate asks politely?)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneRyt:
Continuing to top this post until it garners some attention. If my support for open source is going to continue at all, it would be nice to be apart of the reasons that make it superior. (Community feedback + community programmers = more done for the user)

Is anyone at least working on this?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] OneRyt:
If someone could run down what kind of programming language needs to be used for this for me, that would be great. I guess from there you kind of need to buy a paid and take them apart to get an idea of all of the buttons etc. And the circuitry?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] disgustip8ted:
Most likely java with the android sdk

And you probably wouldn't need to rip the headphones apart, just use an ohmmeter on the jack

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hondaroller:
Thank you Slawson, and especially whoever/whomever wrote universandroot!

Worked great! I was running stock froyo 2.2 ,updated OTA , but now I'm rooted again and don't plan on unrooting. Hopefully no issues in future like some had using other apps.

Saw this earlier an dl'd to phone but didn't get chance to try it till got off work. I was getting aggrivated at frg01b not allowing me to install sbf recovery so I could get back root after OTA.

As you said now on to the ROM's.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tproctor:
Couple of questions: Does this work on the Droid? Once rooted, can setcpu be added to overclock or do I have to load a custom rom? What about using Autokiller? Thanks for the info and for making it so easy to root!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] hondaroller:
1st - Yes, I have moto droid 1

2nd - Yes, have installed SetCPU without custom ROM and have set it up to overclock but tops out at 800mhz on mine, probably because stock kernel. ROM is next for me this weekend.

3rd - Yes, Also have installed AutoKiller.

Have fun!!

Universal Androot + Froyo FRG22D = Fail.

But there are still ways to root. :-)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] calash:
Something about this just does not sound right to me.

If RomManager had the ability to push a recovery on any device we would never have had the need to use RSD Lite to push the 2.01 spf in the first place. Rooting is easy enough overall. The Recovery is what takes effort.

When you tested this had you ever tried to unlock your phone in the past via RSD Lite or other method?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] slawson:
Nope it had never been rooted before, and this was my first attempt, and it just so happened to work.

So try it before you knock it, or don't post :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] calash:
No, I rather have an intelligent discussion about the process so that people can read and be well informed :)

I can't test it because my Droid already has the hacked bootloader. Once that is done you can flash recoveries all day, hence why I asked to begin with.

As I understand the technology pushing the recovery requires more than just root access. So you can understand why I would ask about the details.

I hope you are right btw. It would make my next Droid 1 rom loading so much easier.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] slawson:
Honestly, my droid was brand new, i used this method with a mytouch3g so i figured i'd give it a shot with my droid, and it worked, and i saw the previous method of rooting with the droid, and i decided to post, as this was so much easier.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] slawson:
But yeah, a healthy convo is needed to pick the brains of others.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
According to the manual (yes I read it), it states you can Copy contacts from Phone to SIM or vice versa.

But following their steps doesn't give the option to copy (p68 in manual).

Yes there is an option to import/export the contacts; they allow you to import/export to your SD card.

But when you want to import/export to your SIM card, they give it a fancy shmancy name; they call it 'Copying' your contacts. Very clever of them!

But I can't see this option yet on my I9000. Can you?

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikulec:
I have the option there: contacts/menu/more/copy contacts and there are 2 options: sim to phone and phone to sim
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukdtweak:
I have the option, but it does not apeear to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Well this is a bit of a bummer.

What version phone do you have?

I have the French version. (Using English language)

My menu options are as follows:

contacts/menu/more/accounts, send e-mail, Import/export, Settings, Send via bluetooth

Nothing about Copy. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
OK I am making some progress here.

I have figured out why I didn't have the option.

I keep my phone in 'Flight mode' most of the time.

In Flight mode, you DON'T have the option to copy your contacts to SIM.

A silly thing to do in my opinion (have the feature disabled in flight mode).

BUT, there's more.

When you do copy your contacts to SIM, you lose almost everything.

The only thing that is copied is the name and tel number. That's it!

You lose your Groups, and any other details in your contact cards.

I don't have pics attached yet, but I'll bet you lose them too.

Bummer!

Has anyone here exported their contacts to their SD card, wiped out their phone contacts, then imported from their SD card to see if *everything*

was imported faithfully? Groups, details, pics etc.?

TIA

When the SIM technology was invented there was only phone numbers around. =)

It's not about Galaxy S. It's about SIM technology. Most of them can only store 64 kb or 128 kb. So we can say that SIM phone book is for emergencies only.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
I knew it. It's definitely possible. What you may ask? Well, here's the thing, me and my friend had a bet, I told him that the entire population of China CAN FIT in Singapore. All you got to do is BELIEVE in yourself. :D

But seriously, I would not want to use the SIM for main contacts. What I personally do is to just make "VIP" contacts in the SIM, those that I really need, just in case I had to put it in a cheap phone (or an expensive one without memory).

What this phone has is the SYNC with your Google account. Excellent stuff. Sync your contacts, mail, and calendar without having to pay for anything.

Same thing on Apple iPhone's MobileMe solution would cost you a good $99/year.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Thanks Opethian. I'm just going to have to get used to this phone's limitations and also its goodies. There's a lot of stuff I haven't even begun to explore yet.

I'm just starting with the basic stuff for me. I'm not too pleased that this phone (probably most?) doesn't have contact subfolders. But I'll get used to it I suppose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Happy to help here bro, as much as I can if possible. :)

Can you advise on what you mean by contact subfolders? Do you mean creating "groups" of contacts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Not really.

What I mean is having inside the "Friends" folder another folder that says perhaps,

"Golf Buddies" or "Tennis Buddies" etc.

Having them out on their own in the first screen of Groups can get messy very quickly.

It would also be nice to have an option to start the Contacts app in Groups mode, rather than viewing all of your Contacts together.
