[Captivate Android Development] pongothemagnificent:
So i flashed these gps files to my captivate and i got a lock in like 10sec, first time i have ever gotten my gps to work, even after exchanging my first captivate, but its behaving the same way my friends first vibrant did, the pointer flys all over the place jumping around from place to place, never staying on my location parse...lets just hope samsung finds a definitive fix for the gps issues on many SGS variants.
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
Getting ready to flash and test now. thank you for grabbing those files.
[Captivate Android Development] harshkey:
info

can i flash this file on my stock captivate thats without root?...thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] frankencat:
I just flashed this to my Vibrant. I will test it on the way home but I got 11 sats in view in just about 2 secs in my office which usually sucks. We'll see. Maybe cross post this over to the Vibrant forum and get some folks to test it.

Does anyone know of an app that will allow multiple widget instances or a widget view that isnt every calendar I sync with. I am looking for something that will allow me to view my personal calendar on one screen and other calendars I subscribe to in another. Month view is perferred if possible. Thanks in advance for any info.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] oahceasgnikgneas:
Android Agenda Widget might be worth looking into. I don't have multiple calendars so I can't test it out but under the settings there is an option that says"Widget calendars independence - Have separate calendars for each widget"

Not sure if month view is possible.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Cinderous:
Definitely going to second Android Agenda Widget. Takes a bit of time to setup, but you can customize it quite a bit and get it to look just the way you want. I currently have three of the widgets setup because I use several calendars and it works great. I'm also not sure about the monthly view, I know you can set how far ahead it "looks" and do a few other things to that extent, though I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. Either way, definitely give it a shot, it's a great app!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dew.man:
Pure Calendar also allows you to select which calendars it displays
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] linkraceist:
I use Android Agenda Widget, but I can't get any of my calendars besides (my email) and U.S. Holidays to show up. When I go to Google Calendar (the site, not the app), I have a Birthdays/Anniversaries calendar, in addition to a few sports calendar. How do I get those to show up as well?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] bigjaydogg1:
Thx 4 all the input but the list view of all events is not quite what I was looking 4... visual week or month... something like what u might find n a paper planner is closer 2 the overall goal... did try it and I must say Android Agenda Widget was the best of its kind I saw... and 2 linkraceist

Tap that round settings button bottom, center of the widget/tap "calendars"/ and select "choose calendar"... that screen should fix u up
[Streak 5 General] mancuk29:
Ordered my streak on Saturday to replace my HTC desire as I think the 5" screen is superb .. I'm a little worried about dropping from froyo to 1:6 however the benefits outweigh the cons. I've bought a dell direct model so there is no 2.1 which I believe screwed up o2 phones . Question when is froyo lightly to be released ? Varying reports on internet so thought would ask on here .... can't wait for the beast to arrive with car kit :)
[Streak 5 General] kupboard:
The 2.1 update will be soon. I'm running a beta which only has a few bugs but it's worth it. That said, Dell's customisation for 1.6 is actually quite good so it won't be that bad if you want to wait!
[Streak 5 General] mancuk29:
I believe so hope dell do decent update not like o2 in the UK did !
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
From what I read, Google has said that Froyo wasn't designed for large formats so Dell probably has to do a lot more work to make a version work on the Streak, which means delays.
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I think what they meant by large formats was larger resolution. Since the streak and many other devices are WVGA (480x800) i think we're fine.

Where the problem lies with the streak is the density. The streak utilizes High Density (260) HDPI so the streak can fit in more information for the 5" screen as opposed to the EVO (and other wvga devices) which are Medium Density (160) MDPI.

2.2 (froyo) supports our resolution and our screen density however many developers are overlooking this by not adding the proper resources for HDPI devices, which causes some apps to not appear/draw properly on our screens (see [urlhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773233]this thread for more info and screen shots[/url]

Developers need to add the proper resources for our screens density, more information can be found on android's developer sight, particularly this article concerning supporting multiple screens

Overall most apps work just annoying when you get those that dont.

There is a way to change the density of our devices to MDPI but then you loose screen real estate and it'll be like having a blown up version of MDPI and no need for the 5" screen.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Thanks for that, it makes sense of what I'd read previously.
[Streak 5 General] johnh123:
Are you referring to the o2 2.1 or the dell 2.1 that you are running now?
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
Or did he mean to type 2.2 which is froyo. I'm gonna hit up @dellcares and @lionelatdell on twitter to see what they got to say about froyo for us in the US
[Streak 5 General] johnh123:
@lionelatdell is still saying they are going to go direct to 2.2 in the US
[Streak 5 General] xda2009:
When?

And I hope the UK devices will be able to use that update as well!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Guilhasbr:
Hi guys.

Does anybody knows one way to increase the music volume in the headphones on the moto clicq ? (or dext... mb200, I think they are the same thing)

I have an pretty fair headphones (shure pth 500), with great noise isolation. It worked great in other cells and mp3 players, like my elfin for instance, and I never needed raise the volume above 80% on elfin...

A hack in sound gain, maybe... I don't know. It's too damn low on Motocliq !

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfanax:
I don't know if anyone realized that when you are making video calls or voice calls on fring if you plug your headset (samsung headset with mic) other side can't hear you. Your mic stops working. It has to switch to the mic on the headset but instead none of the mics are working (on phone and on headset). If I remove the headset it works again with phone mic.

I also put regular headphones (without mic) instead of samsung's and it works.do you know how to make it work with headphones with mic? Does anyone having the same issue? I always carry samsung's headphones so I wanna make it work with it.

Thanks

I finally decided to do the OTA update for Froyo and root it using the UNREVOKED method, but quickly realized that I can't do it because I already have a previous version of UNREVOKED on the stock 1.47.165.1 ROM. When I try to do the OTA install for Froyo, I get

I've searched, but I can't find a working way to remove the version of UNREVOKED that I already have. I also can't find a working RUU for 1.47.165.1 to re-installed so that I'll have a fresh stock ROM. I've read some previous threads where people were successful with re-installing a fresh stock ROM, but the download links for the stock ROMs are no longer available it seems.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Please keep in mind that I'm an Android n00b. What makes sense to you may not be clear for me.

Hello,

How van i decrease the volume of the video recordings?

Because everything is recorded to hard :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] warfanax:
Its definitely a software issue. When you use tape machine from market to record audio only, the sound is perfect. I don't understand why samsung wrote such a **** code.

I hope they fix it with the new froyo update.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] howhi50:
Ok so I bought a sprint tp2 with a messed up screen (looked like an oil blot in the center). So i replaced the screen/digitalizer from one off of ebay.

Everything works fine and i would recommend doing this for anyone who has a broken screen instead of fixing the digitalizer themselves(less headache involved).

The problem is that I've noticed that led on the left works fine. ember when charging, green when charged, and flashes green when there's a notification. But the led on the right does absolutely nothing. It just doesn't light up.

At first I thought it was the proximity sensor but that seems to be closer to the led on the left.

I wanted to know if the led on the right is suppose to do something? Like on my old kaiser if wifi was on it would indicate that along with gps and bluetooth.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultramag69:
The LED on the right IS the proximity sensor.... Won't EVER light up, and if it did then something screwies gong on...:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] howhi50:
OK I was just wondering. Thanks man.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Outlaw78a:
the proximity sensor is to the left of the right led O.o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
this is correct...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] howhi50:
OK now I'm a little confused...sorry. So if you were to be looking at the phone the led on the right is the proximity sensor?

I thought that the proximity sensor is located to the left of the left led indicator and assumed that the right led is actually the ambient light sensor. Correct?

I just wanna make sure everything is working right.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Outlaw78a:
thats what i mean,its nowhere near the right led..

[EVO 4G General] m03sizlak:
At my work I get 0-1 bars of Sprint service, and my phone often roams onto Verizon (we have dozens of Verizon repeaters in our building). The problem is that quite frequently lately it will get stuck in roaming mode and never switch back to a Sprint tower. I have 6 bars of Sprint service at home, but it will remain in roaming mode. I have the newest PRL (60670), and the old PRI (1.34_003).

Anyone else ever experience this? Any idea what I can do to fix it?
[EVO 4G General] danbriggs:
I have had this happen in the past as well. What I did was go into settings and change the roaming option to "Sprint Only" which forces the phone to switch back to the Sprint network. Then you can change the roaming option back to "Automatic".
[EVO 4G General] fastamx79:
I get this a lot as well. I've started to make a habit of turning on airplane mode, then turning it back off... when it scans for signal it will go back to Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] guesswhatimevan:
Sorry if i'm stealing this thread. Is it pretty bad if my phone has to go in roaming to get signal in most my house? I've seen the threads about people getting a airwave because they get dropped calls, but since i have to roam in more than half my house, does it seem possible i could get one from sprint?

And my house is in the middle of town, if you go outside there's 4g, but not inside.
[EVO 4G General] mem_reddog:
Same here, I just toggle airplane mode on and off.
[EVO 4G General] daystrom:
Same thing on my EVO. It'll roam when it should but it won't switch back to Sprint when it should.

I chatted with Sprint asking why this happens. They just said I have free roaming. No reason why. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] buckrub58:
Yep, My Evo has been doing this as well. Been doing the airplane toggle trick. Thought about just leaving it, but was thinking that it may burn my battery faster? Anyone have any thoughts on that..

My PRL is also 60670, but I have the 1.71_003 PRI.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
Guys if you have any type of active data connection the phone will not drop the roaming.

I roam at work too and if i turn on Aonline radio, tjen get in my car and drive, so long as the radio streaming is going iy will never drop the roaming.
[EVO 4G General] buckrub58:
Messed with the phone again tonight. Got stuck roaming again. I was not transmitting anything, and even ATK'd everything to make sure. Who knows, not really a big deal, unless I am eating more battery.
[EVO 4G General] daystrom:
That makes perfect sense. I sync with my Exchange server at work and the way EAS works is a constant connection between the client and server. One question though. Has your phone switched back to your carrier with no data connection?
[EVO 4G General] ShadowDrake:
Yeah just disable always-on data or cycle airplane mode to make it switch back. As long ad its maintaining a data connection it will wait to switch back from roaming so it doesn't unnecessarily disturb your connection if you're in a poor service area. It shouldn't be using any more battery.

Also, atk is bad.
[Droid X General] strongsad:
My Mom is thinking about getting the Driod X. Her company said that only the iPhone and blackberries will sync with their exchange server. She currently has a blackberry now but it is not hooked up to the email server because they are making her pay the $15 a month for the corporate email. She would like to get her email without the extra cost so she is thinking about an android phone.

From my reading 2.2 fully supports exchange now but when the Verizon store called my mom's IT department to set up her email for her they said that it and all other Android phones are not supported. Needless to say she canceled that purchase.

My question is, is this true? If it is then are their ways around this?

I have an Evo and it works with my exchange server but I am pretty sure my company allows non provisioned devices to sync.
[Droid X General] Deyez:
All lies. Just sounds like her IT department just doesn't want to support her and her Android.

If she knows how to get into her Exchange account via web..she can configure it herself. On the phone, just setup an account for Exchange, plug in username, password, mail server, and domain. Very easy setup.

Mail Server and Domain comes right from her web access address like...

https://mail.company.com

mail.company.com = mail server

company.com = domain

The address to her web account is the only variable. If she has never used it...get her to ask IT guys what it is. She can say so she can check her mail from home. If they are already supporting iPhones...Androids will come in on ActiveSync the same way. IT guys will never know the difference...unless they are network nazis that toggle Active-Sync on/off per user. ;)
[Droid X General] strongsad:
I mean they can go in and disable the mobile services in the Exchange tab in AD but i doubt they would do that for every user. I did try her account on my evo once but i didn't get it to work. Maybe i fat fingered something, idk. I need to test it again and maybe try touchdown. $20 one time fee is better than $15 a month and a new blackberry that is already out of date.

Does anyone have a Droid X with a nazi type IT department that can share some info? You guys are on Froyo by now right?
[Droid X General] Deyez:
Ya best thing to do is try again on your Evo and verify all her settings. Using Touchdown instead of the built-in app is not going to make any difference. Either they will have her Active-Sync locked down or not.

I don't limit access to our Exchange and have connected some Xs (2.1) and several Incredibles (2.1/2.2).

I am working hard break all our Crackberry addicts, and I'm slowly getting there. I would love nothing more than to shutdown our Blackberry server for good. ;)

Good Luck!
[Droid X General] Pitnefor:
I'm not an exchange admin, but I think its either lies or stupidity

Exchange for android has the same remote wiping capabilities as the iphone I believe. Some companies are concerned about this enterprise functionality in case the user loses their personal phone.

Anyways, an exchange admin has to permit you to use a cell phone, unless they have it wide open. If you can get them to enable it for "iphone" it should also work for android.

you can even log into owa and wipe the phone remotely yourself if you want.

it does identify the type of phone you have though, so they will be able to tell you are not using an iphone.

there might be some reasoning behind them blocking android I am curious
[Droid X General] GulMiguel:
Exchange Is Doable Even On 2.1

I currently have a Droid X. I exchanged it from a Droid 2 because I wanted the bigger screen and more SD memory. In any case, my company uses a hosted Exchange provider. Since I'm the lead System Admin, they had to give me an account that allows for Exchange to work with my Droid. Hell, most of the Senior IT Managers are already using the Incredible.

The bottom line is that the Exchange administrator can allow for a phone to access, just the same way as OWA works for remote users. Since mine is hosted, it cost the company $5 to give me an account allotment. However, if her Exchange server is in-house, then they should be able to provide access for her without any cost. Droid works fine with Exchange. I heard rumours that one of the delays for giving us X users the 2.2 update had something to do with Exchange - maybe they're trying to include Active Sync. However, my phone syncs fine already without Active Sync. So any statement that Droids and Exchange don't get along is a blatant lie or a sorry excuse - and that's coming from a total Noob.
[Droid X General] gIMpSTa:
I'd guess that perhaps her company is using a self signed certificate. In earlier versions (dont remember exactly which) of Android there was no "accept all certificates" option and a self signed cert would "fail" auth and not work. In at least 2.1 forward there is now an option for that. I used to have to use touchdown for this exact reason.

/my experience = network/system/exchange administrator.

Unless they explicitly blocked Android with isa or similar then they simply don't know what they are talking about.

Edit: it wasnt until 2.0 that this feature was added to stock email app. I am willing to bet money this is/was the issue.
[Droid X General] gIMpSTa:
That's not necessarily true. Mail server, yes but domain no. I would ask them the domain too as they could have named it anything they want (of course other easyways to find it too, but by the sounds of it they aren't saying they wouldn't let her just that it "won't work" which isn't true, so just have her ask.)
[Droid X General] strongsad:
It could be that it is because the phone is still on 2.1 which isn't fully supported by exchange.

I actually hate the name "droid" because some people use it for all android phones and others for the Motorola android phones. My mom calls them all Droids and maybe the IT department says that because to them the Droid wasn't supported which had 2.1 and they just don't know the difference or anything about android 2.2

If they can see what type of phone it is then telling them it is an iPhone and then activating a Droid would probably piss them off and she doesn't want to do that.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Android 2.01 and above supported exchange. I believe 2.01 had some issues with self-signed certificates (I had a Droid 1 and took it back largely because of this ... I have a self-signed Exchange server and I had issues with attachments - but mail & contacts came through fine).

2.1 Improved exchange support and 2.2 is supposed to be even better (I've Froyo'd my X and haven't noticed any difference in my exchange experience)
[Droid X General] avirnig:

I am trying to find her external email server address with no luck. The webmail address she has only works when she is connected to her VPN. When she is outside of the VPN that owa address doesn't work in any browser. So how can I find the external webserver address only knowing the email address?
[Droid X General] berndtjj:
Sounds to me like owa is turned on but not accessible outside of your companies firewall. If that's the case you are probably out of luck.
[Droid X General] strongsad:
The company had people with iPhones so it can't be entirely turned off. I think that they have an internal webmail address which would require the VPN and then an external webmail address which would work for phones.
[Droid X General] UnlnvlslblE:
Android pre 2.2 did not fully support all of the exchange security features so its not really a "lie" per say.

We use encryption and remote device wipe and all the security featuers to "lock down" our devices if they are lost / stolen because they could contain PHI.

If you have any phone with Android 2.2+ it should integrate seamlessly with exchange now so there is no reason to not allow the devices on the network unless they just made their own company policy saying so.
[Droid X General] berndtjj:
I'm not an iphone expert by any means, but I think iphones (pre-ios4.0) use some kind of enterprise sever like blackberry.

That server may be outside the firewall.

Hi

I have a second HTC Hero which runs Android 1.5. The phone says there is 980KB memory left. However, when I go to Task Manager to kill apps to help with the memory, it says there is 91MB left. I cannot use the phone much and cannot open up messages to read or send texts.

How can I check what is causing the memory problem on the phone itself? I assume what is on the SD card does not affect the internal memory?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baklap:
Everytime i used a taskkiller on 1.5 i ended up with a phone that would crap out on memory. Could uninstall everything and it still would say not enough memory. Did a factory reset en left the taskkiller out.. no more problems. Some how 1.5 seems not able to let the used memory go when killed by a taskkiller... meaning memory runs out that was my problem at least..

hth
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gill:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mach2005:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gill:
Two questions:

1 What method and how does Android kill tasks without a task manager?

2 Are there any bits and pieces I can remove from the Android operating system but then reinstall them if necessary - things that are stored on the phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ante0:
Memory as in RAM or memory as in phone storage memory?

Those are different things.

Task killers clear up RAM, phone memory is cleared by uninstalling applications.

If it indeed is RAM you are talking about, I don't know why it would do that.

The internal taskkiller has a minimum, and it is above 980kb. :P
