[Desire General] gl23leung:
Hi,

My Desire language is set to Chinese. Which will make all apps installed to run/display in chinese langague if supported. For some specific apps, is it possible to have it run in different langauge (ie english) without changing the system language? While i'm fine & comfortable with using Chinese system, for apps such as titanium backup, i prefer to run it in english.

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Ive been a 10 plus year faithful customer, with no spending limit and never missed a payment and i dont get why i have to pay 350 when im up for a upgrade and still have to wait for a rebate to be sent to me? It should be taking off over the phone or in the store, anybody that work for sprint, give me input.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Im a Sprint Retention Supervisor... your tenure with Sprint doesn't mean your rebates are waived... Deal with it :) Okay okay, sorry had to get that out of my system....

No, it can not be done. Don't want to deal with rebates, go to best buy/radioshack/wirefly/newegg etc...
[Epic 4G General] shotcalla:
No way you are a Sprint Supervisor....

I've had my phone charged to my account and received the rebate as an instant credit, I actually have done this twice, so it can be done.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
And if you were smart you claimed the rebate too ;)
[Epic 4G General] samsterman:
My local Sprint store is offering instant rebates on all phones right now, including the Evo. They say it will be the same on the Epic when it comes out - we'll see. At this point, no outlet (Sprint, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc.) has really stepped up to give me any particular reason to buy the Epic from them.
[Epic 4G General] samsterman:
And while I'm hoping to avoid having to mail in a rebate, I have to admit that when I got my BB Curve a couple years back, Sprint definitely made it worth my while - I got quite a bit more back than I was "officially" supposed to get.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Haven't heard of any Sprint store doing instant rebates - lucky you
[Epic 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
haha, thats whats up.

Do yall think this:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953

would fit onto the DINC?

If anyone has used a macro lens with the camera, how good was it?

What macro lens do you use?

etc.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] lolsev:
I have this, ive been very impressed for only $11. Shipping took quite some time but I wasn't very concerned. If you keep the wide angle attachment on it's to heavy to stay on. I didn't purchase for this so no worries.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Cool! Does it fit well on the camera and does it get in the way of the flash at all?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] remy2501:
i just bought this a few days ago.. can't wait to get it and check it out..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Post some pictures in here after you get it!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tdavis42:
Please post some pics. I am dying to find out how well it works. I need to replace my camera ring and lens cover and if I plan on getting this I want to do a little mod to my camera ring so that the magnet will stick to the ring without and external mods. Because if I am not mistaken the ring we have now is aluminum and we need to apply a ring around the camera so that the lens stays on with the use of magnets. Then again i might not know what I am talking about! But thats the way I think it work after looking into it a few days ago.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] remy2501:
actually i ment to say i got the fisheye version... can't wait to check it out.. btw whats the diameter of the lens ring on our d.inc phones? i got the 15mm, seen a video a guy tested both out. the 13 had blur on the outer edges and the 15 was completly crisp.. and yeah as soon as i get mine i'll send in some pics and a video, i mostly got this lens for video.. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39814
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
I've gotten things relatively fast from DXT, (DSLite case, it's awesome :3) hopefully one of yall can post a few pictures soon.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] remy2501:
some quick screen shots with nens an inch or so from monitor..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SimonTuffGuy:
Is that the 13 or 15 mm ring? I see 2 different versions being posted above.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dalepl:
I really do not see much difference in this and the one I took. I used Camera360 and it was free.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] remy2501:
sorry for the mix up.. 15mm version is the one i got.. i forgot to check if the magnet grabs the metal lens on the phone before i attached the metal ring.. wish i checked first.. either way it works good.. i notice no decrease in quality in the shots...

can c360 record video with fisheye?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
I made a DIY macro lens using the lens from a disposable camera (and made a taser out of the rest of it - super fun!).

Takes GREAT pictures.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
It's a detatchable thing held on with paper clips. I'll take pictures of it later.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ejkeebler:
by any chance was this the one you made?

http://www.instructables.com/id/IPhone-Macro-Lens-1/
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Actually, this is it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] remy2501:
How much it take to make?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
It was free for me seeing as I had a camera lying around. So really it's just up to whatever camera you buy.

Only other thing I used was a hot glue gun.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] remy2501:
How bout some name and info on the camera and what part you used?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dpwhitty11:
I couldn't tell you the name of it, but it way just your regular old disposable camera.

You just pop it all open and take out the lens (mine just happened to have that circular plastic disc it fit around as well) and glue it to those paper clips or whatever you want to use.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randommonth:
Hi Guys,

I've got a Desire with Froyo and a new work laptop with Windows XP. I want to sync my contacts and calendar from my laptop to the phone.

I have installed a few different versions of HTC Sync and none of them have worked well. All of them have allowed me to sync up the first time, then subsequent syncs have not worked. In other instances, calendar items have been repeated 3 times over on either device or laptop, and contacts have been repeated with the phone numbers fiddled with.

I am beginning to suspect that the root cause of my problem is the fact that my laptop belongs to work (large multinational company) and the virus checker (McAfee) cannot be turned off prior to installing Sync. I have admin rights but the virus software security is understandably tight.

My questions are:

1. Why do you have to turn off the virus checker prior to installing Sync?

2. What symptoms would be exhibited by Sync having been installed without disabling McAfee?

3. Is there an indirect hack for me to get around this issue? ie. Copying files directly into certain folders? Or is the virus checker a hard obstacle in my way?

Cheers

*Bump*

No reply yet from HTC on this issue, so hopefully someone around here can help??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randommonth:
Got a reply back from HTC and they said I have to turn off the anti-virus software for the installation to work. As usual, no other information/help from them....

So I'll take a different approach.. Is anyone aware of third-party syncing software/apps that I could use instead of HTC's proprietary method?

[EVO 4G General] iNerd18:
I'm on my phone now so I can't find the thread on this if there is one. I thought i was the only one with the issue, but I found an article on engadget.

I have a best buy protection but no best buy has any, anymore.

I'm going to make this quick, which was the best solution for getting a replacement? My 30 day ran out, and no best buys have any atm. I'm going to call like once a week and hope some get some in, and hope they don't lie about it.
[EVO 4G General] VOODOOTRIP:
Go to the store... :(
[EVO 4G General] rafroehlich2:
Take it to the store to at least set them in motion to get you another. Also, another store might have one. Possibly a drive, but worth it. In any case the best thing to do is to let them see it and know about the problem.
[EVO 4G General] badong1050:
my brothers and my phones were doing this as well. turned out it wasnt the usb port but it was his cable. the cables htc sends are pretty weak. ive gone through 2 so far. you could try a new cable. my evo has bungee jumped off my night stand a few times...wont charge right unless i put side pressure on cable...after new cable charges fine.
[EVO 4G General] spankmaster:
ive had the same thing just recently happen to me. i bought some cheap cables off of ebay and they worked for a week or so then my phone stopped charging and being recognized as being plugged in then i tried the cable supplied by HTC and same thing! Now, its very sporadic. None of the cables i have work in the front usb ports (1 in a separate installed card reader and 2 infront of the case), SOMETIMES the HTC cable will work with the ports in the back and the only time i can get a consistent charge and data signal to the computer is through a powered usb hub(power cord to the wall) with the HTC cable, one of the cheap chinese cables i shortened fro 3 feet to about 2 and another small cable (maybe 1-1.5ft) cable i got in desperate times at microcenter. The fact that in consistently works in the powered hub tells me that somehow, something with the amperage needed to register as plugged in or charged has changed or gone wrong on the Evo side because my machine is a well built custom build computer and i tested it in 2 other high-end custom builds i did for friends of mine and i have the same problem through all of their usb ports as well, so i know its not my motherboard giving me lip. i would like to here another statement from HTC soon about this as more people start becoming more vocal about this issue.

BTW, this literally started happening to me 2 days ago and i got mine on release day. HW REV: 02

It seems all too strange to me that this little incident surfaces on the internet basically the EXACT same time i experience it. Sounds like a little quality control in some parts used in the charging circuit got over looked and we have the same part going at about the same time for alot of people.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Wow, you are the first person that I have seen complain about this:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/23/htc-evo-4g-suffering-occasional-micro-usb-port-issues/

I must change the comment I made there now. :P
[EVO 4G General] AcIdC0R3:
Evidently on the last update they changed something vital. Mine won't charge via the computer at all. It just stays at whatever percentage it's presently at. It won't drain either though. I've tried three different batteries too. All the same thing. The only way I can charge is by plugging it into the wall socket.
[EVO 4G General] wildgillis:
Ditto the included cable stopped working within 2 weeks, and I've gone through 3 car chargers. I have yet to get a good micro usb charger/cable they are all junk
[EVO 4G General] AcIdC0R3:
Wouldn't you know it... As soon as I post something about it, it starts charging again. It charges really slow though. It's taken four hours to charge from 62% to 82% via the computer. It's not even worth it. I'll just have to charge it via the wall plug. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] weidnerj:
I kind of had the same issue today after installing a new ROM. I removed the HTC Sync earlier to get Revolked 3 working. But after that my phone USB cord wouldn't charge, or even connect. It would for a few seconds, then it would just act like it wasn't plugged in. But installed the HTC Sync again, and was back to normal where my PC would charge the phone.

Hopefully this insight helps someone.
[EVO 4G General] VOODOOTRIP:
Thats because it "trickle" charges via the USB.. This is why they say if you are having battery issues to charge your phone this way.
[EVO 4G General] elmo24:
Yeah I have the same problem with my phone not charging I was transferring files back and forth and after that it started messing up and I have to put the phone In a weird position for it to charge...very slowly might I add...very weird though that this started at the same time endgadget posted up the article

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
It is always good to stay up to date on these. When Cyanogen finally gets 4G it will probably require the newest wimax. I flash them just to make sure there are no issues with ROMs, now or in the future.

Are you on ChiefzReloaded's OTA ROM or just SlideMeRoot?

Do NOT update if you are on either, but we need to talk if you're getting an OTA on Chiefz's OTA ROM (will probably be Froyo Espresso)

GTFO!

Right now!

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
It seems like you're both on SlideMeRoot then, download ChiefzReloaded's OTA ROM and flash it and you'll be on the latest version of Espresso :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landykos:

Version of what?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
So the radio version doesn't matter?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
The latest known Espresso firmware version is 1.35.x i forget the rest. I know when the phone officially came out it was version 1.27.x
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
I just had this update being pushed to my phone. I removed the battery just to make sure it didn't get applied. Does anyone else know if it auto-applies?

It could very well be Froyo since T-Mobile said mid/late August.

I'm going to take the risk and let it download, then pull the zip. (Since I'm one of the couple developers left in this community... someone has to do it :P )
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Do it do it! :D And get the link!

Updates don't automatically apply, even if they are completely downloaded to /cache.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
UPDATE: I don't think this is anything special. I think this was somehow triggered by people running the beta (improperly labeled by Eugene as "ENG") bootloader for our phones. Version says "1.26.531.1 CL174750 release-keys" and the dates in the archive seem to support the fact that it is from MAY, 2010. Looking into it further just to make sure.

EDIT: DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE!

EDIT2: This looks like an attempt by T-Mobile to fix root bugs in the older versions of phones running BETA ( < 1.35.x) bootloader.

DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE.

EDIT 3 - 08/26/2010 @ 7:07pm CST: I recommend NOT removing the packages below using my process since it seems to **** up your phone's internet majorly to the point where it's not usable. Repeat do NOT follow the steps below - instead switch ROMs for now.

EDIT: Seems updater is gone with my last posted fix, but the notification is still there. Working on getting to the bottom of it.

EDIT2: To get rid of the notifications the following should work, however I'm not sure what (if any) consequences are:

Plug in your USB to a computer with ADB (and ADB drivers, if on Windows)

Run: adb start-server

Run: adb reboot recovery

Boot into Clockwork using the update.zip method. (As you normally do to flash a ROM, etc)

Run: adb shell rm /system/app/HtcDm.*

adb shell sync

adb reboot

No more notifications. :)

I've spent the last 3 hours trying to create an update.zip script to do this for me, but it's difficult since the script is run in a jail (I can't access /system from it). With more time I'm sure I could figure a work-around, but it's not worth it really.

Interesting info siccmade, it makes me think that either: a.) This OTA was unintentional (doubt that); b.) They botched it up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
Try:

show_progress(0.500000, 0);
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 40);

before your update[r]-script

or make a package with an application (a theme, perhaps?) that overwrites it if that doesn't work.

I just flashed a new rom after I got that notice from T-mobile, it was time to start trying some of the newer roms anyways. And with Rom Manager, flashing roms is almost to easy once rooted on the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkydopeloven:
This isn't working for me on sliidemerootv5 with no OTA updates, only radio updated. getting this error "Rm: can't remove '/system/app/HtcDm.*' : no such file or directory". Any help to get rid of this notification would be appreciated

edit: ok i'm just a newbie, got it to work :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
That was the first thing I tried. :P Mounting /system fails saying that it's already mounted and trying to unmount it says that it's still in use. This is because Clockwork mounts it. I could force an unmount, but I'd rather not do that, nor do I want to require users to unmount it through the menus before flashing since people are too noobish. ;)

Good idea. People seem to get the idea with my current hackish-method though. Besides, Slidemeroot is a dying breed (even though I still run it) and will be replaced by: a.) My new version of CR's latest OTA ROM with HtcDm removed automatically; or b.) CM6 (2D graphics aren't fast enough for me yet, compared to pre-CM6 ROMs).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
@first part: Ah kk just making sure you didn't goof :D

@second part: Agreed, except my fps2d scores are higher with CM6 then with SMR (untested on the OTA).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
Strange. I don't like strange. :( It's more like it's refresh and not FPS (although the two play a role together). It's possible then that it's truly CM6 and not hardware drivers. I will try to test it with my friend's Droid (original) and see what it acts like.
