I'm living on WiFi only at my hotel since weds, its an institution access, so you have to refresh the connection about every 24 hours via a redirect to a confirmation page. No issues with any of my data, especially gmail. But good luck sending/receiving texts! There is literally no service in my room, and in the lobby I get 1X with no bars. It's brutal

There is a voicemail upgrade notification on my evo, but when I try to download it, it just fails. Anyone know what the new upgrade does? or have the APK (if that's what it is)

Just a sprint update...are you rooted running a custom rom?
[EVO 4G General] acme64:
I am. Is that the problem?
[EVO 4G General] hungry ghandi:
Assuming you're using Fresh, use the fresh updater (or appropriate equivalent for your phone otherwise) and it will be in the tweaks section, after you add the proper theme server to the list.

it was on their twitter page

if i remember they said they expect it to be in november but could not provide an exact date (so i would be dubious)
[Desire General] andyb949:
They've been saying September on twitter, but aren't being any more specific as to when exactly.

I'm pretty sure O2 has released the 2.2 update for the Desire.

T Mobile have managed to screw up the android os so many times that I think they are staffed by chimps.

There are so many good roms out you should unlock your phone and use the quality releases that can be found on this board.

Orange are worse .. I think we should have a Phone provider top 10 ... of muppets...

Orange keep saying coming soon... see my thread ... I have Hboot 0.75 so may root etc soon ...but then why should I ??
[Desire General] foxmeister:
To be fair to TMo, they did very, very little to brand the Desire ROM - essentially a boot screen and a few changed icons.

It makes it all the more surprising that they are so slow to roll out the Froyo update when so little has been changed.

Hi guys,..

Im trying to put access to android market via my ZT-180. I have followed the tutorial from how to flash, get the android ID, and copy it into the slate. I am very confidence that it works well as i ddidnt accross any error message at all.

But when it comes to test it on the android market, i have these problem:

1. On the actual site (opened from laptop) there is a vertical scroll to reveal more options of the apps. This scroll, is not viewable on my ZT for some reason.

2. I cannot locate any form of button to download or to buy, or any kind of button in that matter. All i can see is the app detail, with couple of pictures, developer info and thats it. No matter how hard i tap the bloody screen on those 2 images, nothing happen. I read somewhere that suggest ppl with the same problem to look for some push download or something like that, but again, i cannot find any of these..

Any help matey..? ta

[17th October,2010 v1.1 (W)VGA/(W)QVGA ]

[4th September 2010 v1.0 (W)VGA only]

Dunno which to choose?

Try Paul's Pick.

It's designed like a WP7 app.

Require .NET CF 3.5

For WVGA/VGA/QVGA/WQVGA

what about HVGA?

I'm not able to test this.but I guess the (W)QVGA version should work on it.

Anyone use HVGA phone can try it and give me a feedback.many thanks

New Features:

1.[Require G-sensor]Shake your phone to move Paul.

thx emailoverhere's idea:Allow the user to tilt the phone left and right to persuade the octopus to move to another box instead of the original decision (like Tetris).

but it's not like Tetris.You have to shake the phone but not slowly tilt it.

Or Paul won't be able to choose unless your keep your phone on the flat surface.

2.Change the value of Paul's muscle(fat?).

Double click the screen.An Option dialog shows to let you change the value.

move the slider to change it.

Also,you can switch On/Off to enable/disable the 1st feature.

The more muscle Paul has,the more tightly Paul would hold the chosen box.

[the longer distance the box would move with Paul when you shake the phone.]

3.Fish move around.

There are 3 kinda fish:Betta Fish(windows 7 beta gallery),Clown Fish(iphone gallery),Fishbone(?)

4.show the entire text of your choices.

If the text is too long to show entirely on the box,press the box and..see this:

notice:It takes much more time to load the main page for the first time you click start to see Paul :(

"Paul's Pick.CAB" is the old 1.0 (W)VGA version.

[How to use]

When start,you'll see only 3 buttons.

Click 'Start' and you'll get 2 textboxes,which means can set 2 choices.

To add a choice[up to 6 choices],click the bottom 'Add' icon.

Also..

Click 'Minus' icon to delect the last choice.

Click 'Keyboard' icon to show/hide the screen keyboard.

Click '...' to show/hide the bottom menu.

After setting your choices(2 - 6 choices)and click start.

There will appear several boxes with your choices' text on them.

Paul will swim to a box that he (randomly;)) choose for you.

You can move(drag and drop) the boxes.Paul would always swim to the box he chose.

[Something about the tentacles]

Well,an octopus has 8 tentacles.but in this app,Paul shows only 6 tentacles.

It would also make the app work more smoothly.And too many tentacles would seem messy/orderless.

Maybe I can say,the two other tentacles are on the app's icon.

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

I got too many schoolwork to waste my time and so many new apps' ideas to make.

So..I'm not sure to make another new version of this app now..

我有太多功课来浪费时间,还有很多想实现的新程序想法.

所以现在不打算做本程序的新版本..

and,Thanks DRBEAN
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emailoverhere:
Suggestion for PAUL

1) Limits the characters you can use to type in a box. Too many letters will mean the word get chopped off in the box.

2) Allow the user to tilt the phone left and right to persuade the octopus to move to another box instead of the original decision (like Tetris).

3) Maybe add in move fish swimming by animations.

4) Allow an option to fry Paul if the user does not like its decision.

Thanks for the app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TangoChen:
Thanks for your nice ideas!I'll try to enable these.:)

but not sure to "Allow an option to fry Paul if the user does not like its decision."

sorry,guys.

It's been so long with nothing updated.

cuz my school day started again..

it means,the school will keep me doing boring and useless homework all days..

though I know that is no use at all to do it,I have no ideas to change it.

If I don't learn all these boring things,I won't get a high score.

Without a high score I won't get into a better university.

then no occupational units would hire me.

they just see what university you studied at and how many score you got!

As a Chinese student,nothing I should do but useless schoolwork!!

I've been mad with these things,I really don't want to go to school.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geewld44:
I have tried out 3 different android builds, and what I found with the wallpaper when trying to use on the leo is the sizing aspect. You can actually look at the wallpaper in the gallery with no problem full view, the moment you try to use as wallpaper and set it it blows the picture up when set.I am quite aware that the android was not originally made for the HTC HD2 but if you can watch it in the gallery there must be a way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stealth658:
what resolution are you trying to use for your wallpapers? on my nexus one (same screen res), i have to use 960x800+ backgrounds because of the wallpaper scrolling. if you're trying to use something smaller, it'll be blowing it up i think.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geewld44:
Thats a good question I never changed my screen resolution let me try that and I will get back to you.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jealousy:
:D :D :D I'm afraid that's hardware based. You can try to saw off a part of your screen, but post a vid :)

Just make sure you use 800x480 with DISABLED wallpaper-scrolling and 800x960 with ENABLED wallpaper-scrolling.

Also: Don't forget to pull the clipping border to the image edges when setting wallpaper from gallery!

I keep getting this when I go to messaging. Is there any way to stop it? I don't want to limit my messages.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0zone:
in the messaging settings there's an option to 'delete old messages ' where you can also limit how many you save on the phone... just turn it off or increase it... its on by default...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaydaveeson:
Delete old messages is unchecked in Messaging options. Since it's unchecked and I have a lot of messages, the "Limit messages" pops up every time I open messaging even though I click "No Limits" every time. The max limit is 5000 (if I want to set a limit) which is too low for my liking. It is as though Samsung really wants people to limit their messages. I think they should add a remember-my-choice check box for this pop-up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
5000 is too low?

um......nevermind
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaydaveeson:
I am not the only one with this problem.

I, like thegreatcity, am a packrat, so I have no limits on my SMS. I try to get around the pop-up by setting a high limit so that I can never get close to it, but 5000 is the max I can set it to. So the plan to get around the pop-up did not work.

Hi, sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find it anywhere, and I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure it out!

I've been trying to root my old G1 for my brother, but it's proving difficult. The current firmware on the device is labelled as DMD64, and I'm trying to root with a Goldcard. I've tried with both RC7 (I'm in the UK) and RC29, but both give the same results when booting with Camera & Power.

First boots to rainbow screen, then goes to a grey screen where it goes..

Loading...

Checking...

00058002 appears at the top of the screen in red, then loads the rainbow screen again with "Serial 0" written in a white band across the screen.

Any help is much appreciated, as I said - I've tried searching but can't find anything useful!
[G1 Android Development] punshkin:
since you said you tried it several times i guess you have also rebooted it ? (i dont want to advice this because i dont know about this) . what happend after you have seen that last rainbowscreen? (or rebootet? again dont do it on my advice) did it stop at the g1 screen? or bootloop ?
[G1 Android Development] GeoH2102:
Cheers for the reply, yes I've rebooted several times. It boots up just fine, and every time I use the goldcard it does the same thing. It's as though it's not changed a thing!
[G1 Android Development] SHOOTEMUP2.0:
gold card method is out of date. Use the universal and root. Not sure exactly it it spelled. I had to use the gold card with my first My touch 3G. The second one I used the universal app. I will try and shoot you a link.

[Captivate General] jakkzen:
I can relate to some of your issues. I have both phones and each have + & -.. Overall I like the captivate more because I can do a lot more with it. For resale value the iphone always wins.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If you embed your album are as MP3 tags you won't see it. If you transfer it over as jpg files in the album folder then it gets indexed as normal picture would.

As for connection errors - I don't have that at all. I have only had one dropped call where my iPhone would drop them all the time and sometimes require 4 or 5 attempts to reconnect. You may have a bad antenna on your phone with your wifi issues too.

I lived with the iPhone 3G for 18 months before i got copy/paste and some other missing features - I figure Samsung will fix us up at some point too.

As for the mini USB cable socket - Samsung has home and car docks that set the phone horizontal, so then the plug is in a good place. Let's face it, no location is good for everybody. The bottom port on the phone was terrible for car use (for me) because I would plug the phone charger into a dash socket and then the phone was upside down when laying on the seat - yes i could buy a mount to hold it upright, but with the Samsung, the top port works for me.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
Connection error may be a bit of a fluke, bad timing maybe. I didn't experience any dropped call for several days then att started doing updates in my area, 3g finally this month. My iphone 4 friend had the same issues I did for a matter of weeks now both are better. I admit the iphone is a beautiful product but I disagree about the screen, I have never seen a screen where the colors look truer to me than a galaxy s. For me I'll never give up android, so apple implemented folders, big deal I hated the iphone3g and I hate Ios4 even more. I have no icons folders or shortcuts on my home screen, just a few widgets. I use ADW launcher and use swipe up to launch the contacts, long press search to launch navigation, and home on home screen to launch phone. And I use widget locker to go to the phone, text, camera, or email. I could never fumble through pages and pages of icons for phone functions. Just because its a touchscreen it doesn't need more steps than a traditional phone. I wasn't to pick it up and call. Not pickup, unlock, press icon, press tab for number pad, call. Apples interface need work. On android I can make my own interface. I like icon screens to allow icons to be put where I want not bumped up next to other icons. I need to scan the screen too much with my eyes before I can find the right icon and a phone should be more natural than that. On paper the iphone is fantastic but in my hand android wins hands down.
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
It's just a phone. Just pick one and get a new one in one and half years.
[Captivate General] tonyb81:
That was extremely painful to read. If you really want other people to actually read this you should space it out properly.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I couldn't agree more. If the phone is really bad, then you have 30 days to return it. If not, then something better will be along in 12-18 months.
[Captivate General] DJNgoma:
+1, it's like he swyped the thing in a few secs lol.

I have to agree with the battery, the Wi-Fi has to be the biggest power drainer and I would have thought it was optimised for power saving. To be honest everybody is trying to be like the iPhone if you think about it for a minute. But I'm still for Android, live without so many restrictions :D.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
Me or the OP? I have a habit of writing run on sentences and pushing paragraphs together. And I did swype it pretty quick. But the op did write a lot.
[Captivate General] Hydrocharged:
I must have gotten a good phone, because I wasn't experiencing any of the negatives the OP was talking about (as far as the Captivate is concerned). Wifi range is just as good as my father's iPhone 4, never had a dropped call, never pocket dialed, the 4 buttons at the bottom are always responsive, and just about all the other negatives you said.

Plus, I actually like where the USB connection is, very convenient for me. And I haven't used email on here before, so I can't comment on that.
[Captivate General] Divinedark:
I'm actually on my second Captivate. The first one had the capacitive touch buttons at the bottom that would push themselves. Outside of that, my wifi signal is pretty much on par with my 3GS. The difference being that the indicator shows the reception to be a bit worse, but the through put is much much better.

The call quality and reception on my Captivate is just as good as my 3GS, however, once again it shows the signal is worse. The big difference I've noticed is that I've never dropped a call with the Captivate, and with the iPhone I would drop about every fifth call.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Some of the issue posted here are non-existen for me. You guys need to give android and the phone some time to get use too. Especially if you had the iPhone for the past 3yrs. I get great battery life remember you're in control your phone do not have things running in the background if you really dont need it.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
I would have to say (coming from a 3gs) after downloading and installing the hybrid Rom and seeing what the possibilities are I would definitely say that my captivate blows my gfs ip4 out of the water. Just by switching roms I can see how Samsung and ATT did not do a good job with the firmware. I have better reception. The phone really flies through processes. Like you would expect a phone with top of the line hardware should. and when the devs get a hold of the froyo source I can only imagine how this galaxy s will perform
[Captivate General] oswade:
+1

Also, I skimmed through your review mate, and you really seem to go on too much about little things as opposed to the core functionality of the phones.

That being said, I have experienced some of your problems to some degree, such as imperfect wifi etc.

1 more thing, doesn't captivate come with inbuilt office program such as thinkfree? Because international i9000 version does (as I have).

p.s. don't mean to sound overly critical, I do respect and thank ya for sharing your experience :)
[Captivate General] kluemenadi:
i think the battery life on the captivate was poor. exchanged it for an iphone 4, sold it, and going back to the captivate, ironically. i just prefer the android UI. :)
[Captivate General] Dani897:
The battery life on this is better than the aria which was horrid. I admit the 3g I had was better in that department after the upgrade to ios 3.2 or what ever it was. But the battery life on the captivate largely depends on what you are doing, running with it.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
iPhone 4 all the way. I've got a captivate and my friend went the iphone4 route. I've used both phones extensively and its not even close. Iphone 4 smokes the captivate. Unfortunately I'm stuck with it for another 22 months :(

Can you elaborate on how it smokes the Captivate?? I had the iphone 4 and it was good, but the Captivate is just as good or better.
