My perspective on Google I/O

Google I/O is the conference to go to for all Google's developer tech. Not just Android, but Google TV, Chrome, GWT, etc...

As a European I have to say the cost is very low. Java One last year cost $2000 - that's $400 a day. An open source conference in London this spring is charging the equivalent of $500 a day. I can fly in to SF for a full week, stay in a nice hotel, go to Google I/O and spend less than the cost of a week's training in the UK (yes, I know I/O is only two days).

Devoxx is similar in approach - a fantastic value conference in Belgium that from a training and development perspective is a no-brainer. I'm a freelance consultant so I don't say this lightly - when I'm training I'm not earning!

If you're interested in going then you need to keep an eye on the Google Code Blog (googlecode) at blogspot (I've not enough posts yet to insert a URL) or the twitter feed 'googleio', which just yesterday said that registration would open this month. See you there!
[Droid Eris General] Innova133:
Can anyone give me some feedback/justification on the android information at google io?

My company is willing to send me if it is worthwhile, and I need to find out as much about it as possible.

Is this the best conference for android developers to go to? Is there a better one?
[Droid Eris General] playpolo4life:
well i mean no one has more knowledge on the android system them the people who developed it? ive never been to one, but by the sounds of the people posting, it seems like it would be very worthwhile. if i wasnt a poor college student, i think that i would sign up to go.

Edit: just saw the student price.... now I'm for sure going
[Droid Eris General] geeknik:
I'll be there this year. =)
[Droid Eris General] thynk:
I made the decision to go after seeing the swag^H^H^H^H conferences from last year. Money is budgeted for my daughter (student) and I to buy tickets as soon as they open up.
[Droid Eris General] Izeltokatl:
If your a student, with a valid .EDU email the ticket cost is about $100. so its WORTH it right there.
[Droid Eris General] Adam.powell86:
do you still get all the perks that everyone else gets
[Droid Eris General] Roy Jovero:
Around $100 with a .edu email? I'm definitely going now, provided I don't have midterms those days.

i accidentally set the htc notifcations as default and now i cant set notification sounds from zedge, is there a way to turn default off?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
I don't know exactly what you are referring to, but go into your app manager, click on the app, and then press clear defaults. This might work.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:
i cant find it there, i downloaded zedge, it asked htc notification, or zedges, and i clicked default for htc, now idk how to go back
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
There is no listing for zedge under manage apps? Most anything you download should appear there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
He's saying he set the default to HTC. That means he needs to find the HTC app responsible for notification and clear it. OP, you can try clearing defaults on all the HTC based apps, including one's that show up as com.* (where * is a wildcard) You could also try uninstalling Zedge and reinstalling. Or find another app that triggers a similar dialog and then set the default there.

Dear All,

i am using HTC Desire and just update OTA firmware 2.2, but after update few days, the optical trackball can not working anymore.

now i intend to downgrade hboot from 0.92 to 0.80 but after access the recovery mode, i can not do anything because the trackball is useless.

anyone encounter the problem which is same with me please share how to fix it.

appreciate.

Awase
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockencopp:
You can always navigate the recovery menu with volume up and down and press the trackball to confirm. But I don't know why it died.

After upgrading my HTC Desire to FroYo 2.2 I am experiencing the same issue:

Upgrade to 2.2 was done with a goldcard and the leaked image of 2.2.

Anybody experiencing the same problem? Any solution for this problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etecdailey:
same here...

The same thing aftet downgradeing to 2.2 :(

It doesnt work even in "hacked" recovery, so i cent flash any new image rom.

Any one? Please help...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etecdailey:
hmm...

Maby this will help You some how...

If You are rooted download from market RomManager

In RomManager download ClockWork Recovery

Reboot in Recovery - now You can use VOL + and VOL - as menu.

I'll try to reflash with stock img (PB99IMG.zip) - You can try it if You are not rooted also i think.

I'll need this downgrade for warranty :(

******** some help from 2.2 ********

Well, since I am not alone wondering about this - I have a mms fix that is supposed to be placed in the root catalog on the SD card: root/system/

The word root seem to have many meanings:

= crack a complete OS.

= place a file in the root catalog.

= use a file managing software within the phone to place a file in a root catalog that is not visible from windows.

Being a n00b I have a hard time following the discussions because of this.

Root your HTC HD2 running android

To start, I am a newbie. The terms "root" has been so difficult for me to follow. I understand why people are getting confused. Anyway, I just rooted my HD2 running froyostone w/sense v3.3. I do apologize if I don't know all the terms and correct language. I needed to change my User Agent profile (UAprof) so that I could receive MMS messages here in Japan using Softbank. BTW, I finally upgraded my Universal for a HD2 only last week. I was hoping to get the rumored HD3, but it was only a rumor so I got the HD2 instead; The HD7 doesn’t tickle me because I think WM7 is lacking. Anyway, I only learned how to installed android a couple of days ago. I originally installed darkstone froyo v1.7. I added some Softbank apps from the marketplace, set the APN, and got MMS to work without any problems. Well I decided to upgrade to my current build. The mms of course stopped working. I spent days searching the internet for how to instructions on how to fix my mms problem and all the answers had the same conclusion. I have to root your android and replace the system files. The term root has numerous meanings in this case and they are all correct. Here’s a brief description how I rooted my HD2 with android. These first steps are in no particular order. Get the new mms.apk file. Get the APN information. Download Android SDK and get the windows USB driver files. Okay, you can download from the android marketplace apps that will root your Android. What these means is that it gives you superuser access to the system files in your phone. Now as I said earlier the mms.apk is in the root of your android phone and is read-only. So you can't paste anything in the folder even as a superuser. Also, you can't browse the files in windows because they are hidden, and no you can't unhide them in system properties as far as I know. So people are telling you the files are in the root of your phone (or our case SD card) but you can't see them without special apps. Long story short, used the cmd prompt in windows to root (which in android language means gain access to the phone root file system) the Android build on the SD card, removed the old mms.apk file, and installed the new one. These instructions are easily searchable on the internet. I will be more then happy to explain the details on how to install this MMS fix with anyone interest. After exhausting myself trying to find this answer on my own, I want people to know three things. One, yes you can root you HD2 with Android build, although earlier comments are right that it is kind of already rooted but it still needs to be rooted to install certain apps. Two, an unlocked phone can send/receive MMS in Japan on Softbank. Third and final, yes there is an app that can change/mask your UAprof.

Root HD2 Android

PLease can someone explain very clearly how we can root HD2?? I'm really not that expert and need your support. BR
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
You're joking right? did you read this thread at least to the 3rd or 4th post before posting this question? You don't need to root the hd2, all roms for nand already have root access! Please don't post questions when the answer is there if you take a second to read.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheBrilliantMistake:
it's a perfectly valid question and one which nobody has actually answered with any decency.

To say "your ROM is already rooted" is AN answer, but it doesn't help or inform very much at all.

What he's trying to do is simply update a file in the file system that requires 'root' access and is unable to do so using tools such as root explorer which inform him he does NOT have root access.

So perhaps the tool is incorrect?

Either way, he can't update his phone.

A large number of threads will state "you need root access to update file x, or file y", and yet despite being told he HAS root access he can't view the complete file system, let alone update some files on it.

Is it really too much to read HIS issue and try to help him, rather than glibly repeat 'you have root access'?

What are you referring to? Not the OP or the person I replied to said anything regarding files and root access to do anything, their questions were plain as white, how can I root my hd2?

You have tried Root Explorer and it hasn't worked? Odd. Well atleast you know it's rooted as it has SU on it. Try ES File Manager. Google how to access the root files using it. You just need to flick through a few menus. :p
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
Hi Guys,

Up until only recently… I had been using Swype as my SIP on my HD2. It wasn’t perfect, but it was tolerable. What wasn’t tolerable was the issues I had using the WM SMS client, instead of the HTC SMS Client. So after so many issues with the WM client, I switched back to the defauly HTC client. This makes Swype even less useable, as in the HTC SMS client… you cannot double-tap words to select them, and when using Swype, the best way to correct typos is the double-tap method.

So, I tried out ShapeWriter and SlideIT, bother were ok… I seemed to have more success with ShapeWriter on day, and SlideIT the next. But in the end… I got tired of the un-reliability of both and went on a SIP search.

This search led me to Resco Keyboard Pro… which I must say, had been quite brilliant. Big buttons, fast typing response, nice interface, good feature set, etc.

After usind Resco quite happily for a few weeks… I began to notice a silly reoccurring problem, that built to be quite frustrating. It seems that something is forcing the keyboard to input letters… that I may no want there.

-	When i type words beginning with 'im' Resco Keyboard automatically adds 'ho' as the next two letters. For example: if i type impossible... i get imhopossible. imagine gives me imhoagine. etc.

-	Another problem word is “month”. I can type the “m”, “o”, “n”, and “t” all fine… but as soon as I hit “h”… recso wants to enter “mosth” as the primary word choice. “Month” isn’t even a selectable second option. The only way for me to type “month”, is to intentionally mis-spell it, and have the auto-spell-correction fix it for me. I have to type “mobth” or “momth”or “minth” to get the SIP to enter “month”

Just as I am typing this post… I have realized that the problem isn’t localized to Resco Keyboard Pro. FingerKeyboard2 also has the same issues… which suggests the issue is with my phone, rather than the SIPs.

HTCs defauls SIPs have no issue getting the words correct… but they are soooo sluggish.

Can anyone help with this weird problem?
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
well... after a couple of hard resets, and a couple of ROM flashes to a few different ROMs, the problem remains. i think the cause might be the version of Resco Keyboard Pro that im using (v6.00)... once i install that, the problem begins, then even after uninstalling RKP, i still get the issue on FingerKeyboard (but not on the HTC SIP).

i guess ill just have to wait for an update for Resco Keyboard.

cheers.

I was trying to find a way to increase the video recording quality because mines records at 8hz 2kbps amr-nb which is pathetic, and I found this: http://www.modaco.com/content-page/...-flash-guide-suggested-programs-faq/page/355/

Quote from NuclearEMP

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first mod that I have found and hopefully not the last.

Goto HKCU/Software/Samsung/Camera

Find AudioNormalCodec

the options are:

0 - Default : GSM-AMR-NB 8000Hz 1ch (this is the default but has lots of high pitched noises in the background)

1 - MPEG4 AAC 16000Hz 1ch (this so far is the cleanest audio that I found you can get during video recording)

2 - Qualcomm QCELP 1000Hz 2ch (this is the MMS setting, not good at all for video recording)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldnt find this reg file in my registry, does anyone know where else it may be located for HTC phones?? Would be a very useful tweak for many phones here if someone found out.
[Vibrant General] visirale:
I'm trying to get the one click lag fix 2.0 onto my phone. However I've run into quite a few problems. Everything was fine, I was having no problems with connecting to my computer. However when I connected the USB cable again, the phone receives power from the cable but neither the phone or laptop recognize each other. I tried doing all sorts of things (turning on USB debugging and all that) but to no avail. I decided to try to do the factory reset. While the phone was rebooting the "Found new hardware" bubble popped up and it recognized it but as soon as everything was loaded it was gone.

Then I tried restarting it with USB debugging off and it DID recognize it. However once I restart it like that there is no way to turn USB debugging back on without disconnecting it... and once i do that and activate USB debugging, the phone is not recognized again.

This has been a pretty frustrating ordeal and I have tried it on multiple PCs. I am using the stock cable that came with the phone...

Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] lemarg:
Same thing happens to me. Stock cable would show up as a device when plugged into multiple computers. I swapped phones but I'm sure its just a cable issue.
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
Have you downloaded the latest USB driver for the phone from samsung's website?

What OS are you using?

Make sure you plugged your USB cable into USB 2.0.

Also, make sure the USB sliding door is fully opened and locked. The door on the phone could prevent a good connection from taking place.
[Vibrant General] visirale:
Yes, I do have the latest driver.

I have tried doing this on both Mac (snow leopard) and windows XP (different laptops).

All the connections are good and they are all certainly usb 2.0.

hi everyone,

i was wondering if there could be a mod for calendar on TF3D or SENSE that allow/set different colors for appointments so that it would be easier to point out which are appointments, notes, holidays, occasion or just by categories [color coded] , instead of the dull gray arrow, you know what i mean ^_^

i made a sample screenshot on how it would look like:

i just picked out 6 basic colors, which i think is enough to set different categories

is there? or possible?

thanks for the time and viewing! :D

i'm no programmer but, i think if someone good or better, would dig up the manila files... there could be a file/png/jpeg that would be able to replace the old "gray" arrow/pointer color, but that would put it on just one color...

with a little programming [i think] there has to be a way to make colors different by setting different categories...

this i say IMO only.. ^_^
