I'd give $50 maybe more to a dev that can get a nice fancy app together that enables FM transmission. Seriously. That would be mint!
[Nexus One Android Development] Ownatik:
From the original post:
[Nexus One Android Development] knightnz:
Unless it's got some amplification circuitry attached to the FM side of things that we don't know about, then effective range would be a couple of inches.
[Nexus One Android Development] incredulous:
Sounds good, this thread will probably get moved though. Is in the wrong section.
[Nexus One Android Development] intersectRaven:
Our chips are BCM4325 so my I stick by my first post. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] mattisdada:
The N1 is more than capable of doing FM. Using the Sense ROM, IntersectRaven (The poster above me) got it working in his kernal.

So its more than possible, so hopefully this will give devs a better insight into how the FM transmitter works. Would be better if we got the source code of the Desires FM app.....
[Nexus One Android Development] HTCinToronto:
FM transmission??, seriously lol, receipt yes but outbound? Maybe as an RC controller, surely not as a radio station.
[Nexus One Android Development] HTCinToronto:
On a more interesting application, I think it's related to WEP encryption cracking. Think there's a thread in here on that topic.
[Nexus One Android Development] khaytsus:
I think the idea would be to use in a car or such, not as a "radio station".

[Epic 4G General] iampepito:
So I thought I was going to see how a 720p movie looked like on the Epic, although I'm sure it would look amazing, something is holding me back.

When I try to transfer the file over to what I am assuming is SD card space by default I'll get, an insufficient space error. So basically, I checked in amazement to see if I had filled up my SD card; only to realize I had 13.2GB free space out of what appears to be 14.7gb.

Anyone know if I'm doing it wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] MameJunkie:
Missing a few key pieces of info. How are you transfering and how big is the file?
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
If the file is larger than 4 gigs, it won't copy because the card is formatted in fat16 or fat32. It is subject to that filesystem's limitations.
[Epic 4G General] iampepito:
I never realized there were limitations to the partition. Any suggestion on possibly changing the partition type? Will that ruin the functionality w/ the phone?

Are we limited to no higher definition video? The file I was trying to use is 4.6gb, I would assume other people have tried other high-def file types on their Epic, advice??
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
I've mostly just done episodes of Futurama.

cat /proc/filesystems says (abbreviated version):

ext3

ext2

vfat

You could probably format the SD card with ext2 file system. Then it'd work on the phone. Or you can use any linux boot cd, though the driver will help for copying.

http://www.fs-driver.org/ - this will let you read it in windows

You still have no way of formatting it though. You'll need a linux boot cd for that (or linux box).

The 4gb limit is a limit of FAT in general. Stupid Microsoft.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I take my personal, owned copy of the DVD and run it through DVD Shrink. I then take the Video_TS folder and run it through Handbrake.

It ends up about 1.5GB and is in HD.
[Epic 4G General] iampepito:
Good information, thanks

I guess it doesn't really make sense to put 4.6gb files on your phone anyways.. although I still think you should be able to :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightkyun:
Hi everyone, i bought a captivate from someone who seemed to do some tweaking with it but im not sure what. When i plug the phone into the usb with usb settings in samsung kies my phone will flash in and out home screen and the usb one. I dont think its normal but can anyone help. Thnk you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberGoat:
That person you bought it from might have messed with the kernel or something else dealing with the power management and did not know how to revert it. I suggest flashing a backup that someone else created to restore settings. Or try the Restore to Factory Settings function within the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:
the touchscreen is pretty much unusable on mine when plugged in.

i use swype to view the traces and it is all over the place.

Make sure you have the right drivers, I had the same problem and getting the proper drivers fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvius:
So I wanted to try out different kernels yesterday. I'm rooted using the Stock ROM.

My phone was already running netanarchy's 4.1.9.1 with no problems, but I wanted to try out King's kernel BFS #8 as well as #6. I did a cache and dalvik wipe prior to each flash. In the end, I deemed that I personally like netanarchy's kernels more, so I switched back to 4.1.9.1.

However, now my 4G keeps turning on and off. This is causing my phone to significantly lag in intervals correlating with the on and off of the 4G toggle. Is it possible that flashing different kernels somehow borked my wimax radio?

Any help is much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hperry:
Is it anything like I described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8052344

I'm having this issue and I never even rooted my phone. Note my latest reply that I did a hard reset on one of the evo's and now the 4g radio hangs on "turning on..." when I try to turn it on. Still seeing that now. Considering doing the unrevoked 3.2 to root it and try to fix it since sprint is clueless on the issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvius:
Yea, it is similar to your issue. I found your thread after I posted mine. I tried updating to the latest Wimax update found on XDA and that helped somewhat.

My 4G stays on, scans, and says connecting to Sprint network. However, it never successfully connects. I now believe I have the dreaded MAC address problem and am now trying to fix it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hperry:
I can't even see my 4G MAC address because I can't get the 4G radio to turn on. How else can I check whether my keys are screwed up (without being rooted)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvius:
try dialing ##3282# and select view mode. Go to WiMax and look under NIA. That should have the MAC address.

If it does not match what is listed on your box, then your MAC addresses do not match.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
You gotta be rooted to do that. As for your keys getting hammered, the key issue arises on rooted phones after a bad flash, or corrupted radio file. More than likely your keys are fine. Let me ask you this, have you previously have 4G working, and it just stopped working? Or you now just tried to use it, and it's not working?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hperry:
Yes, it used to work. I picked up signal around the boston area a month or two ago (before boston officially had 4g). I can't remember whether I used 4g successfully after the 2.2 upgrade. I was part of the group that did the .3 leaked 2.2 update and then took the .3 to .6 update OTA. I have never rooted this phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hperry:
There is no WiMax option when I do this. I think the WiMax radio needs to be switched on to see this. But I can't get the radio to turn on.

I've been using alogcat to try to debug the issue. I see this error come up about 90 seconds after trying to enable 4G (this is the same time the "turning on..." changes to "Unable to start 4g"):

E/WimaxStateTracker( 104): Failed to load Wimax driver -=>wl.release

I haven't been able to find any information about what this might mean.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
same problem here; ever since running unrevoked 3 the other day, my evo 4g keeps turning 4G on and off by itself, and, wont let me stop it from doing that..

its killing my battery with its constant searching, and I cant find any sort of "tweak" that will allow me to just shut it off or leave it on; the widgets dont do it, so I cant figure out how to stop it..

was working fine before this..

On stock 2.2 froyo, stock kernel...

any ideas?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
Ok you may have hammered your 4G then. I've heard of a couple of people who took the leaked update, and fouled up their 4G. I would suggest you backup your stuff then run the latest RUU to see if that clears things up with the wimax driver not loading. If not take the phone to Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hperry:
i read the thread you started about this issue. you mentioned you were having trouble breaking the on/off loop but then mentioned your wife somehow was able to do it. while in the on/off loop, did you find that the the radio was actually spending any time "scanning" after it turned on? on one of my evos, the phone would switch from on to off and back to on so quickly, the button was always grayed out in the wireless menu so i could never interrupt it. on my other evo, it would spend a little time scanning ( a second or 2), which was enough time to press the button so the 4g would turn off for good and break the on/off loop. a hard reset fixed the phone with the unbreakable loop (4g now works). a hard reset caused the other phone to change so that 4g just hangs at "turning on..." when i try to toggle it on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hperry:
By running the latest RUU, do you mean perform the latest OTA sprint update (the .6) by putting in on my SD card and doing the volume down/power button trick? Is this safe if I already have the update applied? I was considering doing this but wasn't sure if it would be safe to do.
[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
Does anyone else's google voice app open really slow? Almost ask of my other apps open immediately or at least in less than a second. For some reason the google voice app on my vibrant can take anywhere from 2-8 seconds to open...

Its very annoying...
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
yes, it does take forever to open at times. after you apply the lag fix it opens instantly though. depending on your preference and risk level if you want to venture down the "lag fix" path.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
it did this when i updated it this morning, but it has been fine ever since
[Vibrant General] andy696:
Mine opens quickly and I do not have a lag fix.

I love the new widgets.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
oh, neat. i was wondering what the update actually did

still need to be able to block callers though (or is there a way to do this already?)
[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
Since updating today its not only slow to load, but slow everywhere when using the app. It often hands for 3-5 seconds fit no apparent reason. Do I need to uninstall the app and reinstall? Is my inbox too full? It says I have just over 400 messages. Do I need to archive a bunch of them?
[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
So I tried cleaning out my inbox, rebooting my phone, and uninstall/reinstall of the app...none of this helped.

Am I they only one having issues?

Any ideas on what i could do to troubleshoot? Is this just a samsung thing and I should just wait until froyo update before spending too much time troubleshooting?
[Vibrant General] cysco24:
The new update was unbearable. Google voice always took 2-3 seconds to open but with this update it seems to take longer. On top of that it would lag the crap out of swype, and freeze the phone for 3-5 second after sending a message.

Titanium backup saved me from this horrible update.
[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
Cysco24,

Glad to hear I'm nitty the only one. It freezes my swype keyboard for several seconds all the time as well. This update is horrible...
[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
Just a note: it also freezes the stock android keyboard as well. So its not specific to swype...
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
did you guys try force closing the app and clearing the cache?

like i mentioned earlier, i had this problem at first after the update but it has been fine ever since.
[Vibrant General] defconoi:
i uninstalled, reinstalled, restored to factory, wiped, and reinstalled and its still the same way, laggy as hell
[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
Anyone ever found a solution for this? My google voice app is still slow and freezes the keyboard randomly for a few seconds...

Its this a vibrant problem or a google voice problem?
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
Sounds like a vibrant issue if after applying the lag fix it disappears.
[Vibrant General] huasamaya:
:(

i removed the update and the lag fix, install the update and reinstall the lagg fix, bur still no improvement, Does anybody knows where to get the old version? the old one was working better.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Just curious, anyone else find the choice of 1x3 sized widgets annoying?

My preference is usually 1x1, 1x2 or 1x4. 1x3 just seems odd.

[Vibrant General] trinybwoy:

[Vibrant General] bobn4burton:
So google just released an update for the GV app today. I installed it and so far it seems that the vast majority of lag I was experiencing is now gone! Has anyone else here that was having issues tried the update from today? I'm curious if any one else is having luck with todays update?
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
I don't find it annoying but I consider it a stupid choice by going with 1x3. I have Launcher Pro Plus so I just resize it to 1x4. Much better :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xGary:
I think I should change the thread around. If your X10 has absolute no screen protector on (meaning that you removed the stock one), do you have any scratches on your phone?

The reason is theres all these scratch tests on youtube which proves glass screens to be pretty scratch resistive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9PpMBLEX_A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh2g7AIHdc8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-oBMrB3Ryw

So according to these tests, I don't see how I would scratch my screen other than dropping it. But if I really dropped it, I doubt a screen protector would do any good.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubrug:
I took mine off a month ago and simply never got around to replacing it, not even a mark on it since, I prefer it off.

My experience with silicon covers and others is that they end up damaging the more than they protect it, dust gets caught under them and acts like sandpaper.

I am a bit of a phone junkie who rarely keeps a phone for more than a year,
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I have two on, and after a few incidents I'm so glad I do. Some one said this before, "the screen is scratch resistant, not scratch proof", so remove it at your own peril.

None?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] applebook:
Using a plastic film over the glass panel is like putting a hideous gown on a Ferrari. I used my Galaxy S without any protection for a month, and it was fine. Just don't let harsh objects or sand rub agqinst the screen.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMC7000:
I had a silicon body protector and a cheap screen protector on my X10, then I finally bought an InvisibleShield (full body) and love it.

In my case though, the silicon protector I had was constantly pressing the camera button, which would disable my face buttons, making me think my phone was suffering a bunch of random glitches. Put up with that for a couple of weeks before I discovered others online having the same issue due to their own covers.

I work outdoors and tend to be pretty hard on my phones, so I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to let my X10 run around "nude".
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkk29:
Hands down hell yes!! I take very good care with all my phones and I think screen protectors are a must especially for smartphones. I don't think I can stand having my phone scratched even just a tiny bit lol. I'm not a big fan of cases though cuz...I think people should just avoid dropping them in the first place, but there's always a worse comes to worse scenario huh? anyway, I was playing with my friends iPhone today and it had an anti-glare matte screen protector that is absolutely amazing. It has a nice texture to it too that makes your swiping and scrolling a more... pleasurable experience. I believe there's one for the X10 as well, I'm gonna go check that out =)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrietHocNhanSinh:
I too, use double protectors. And, the lint free fiber cloth to clean the screen. I am a clean freak, per say.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
Its a must for me, sometimes I forget and put it in the same pocket with my keys, just imagine the scratches out could get.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tome_1:
If they used a hard glass you should only get hairline scratches at worst, which for some is ok to live with. Though you will definitely still get scratches on it, unless they used sapphire crystal like on expensive watches which is practically only scratchable by diamond :-P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterzak:
Well, I took off the pre-applied protector (not the obvious one showing you how to unlock your phone) about 3months ago and I haven't had any problems with scratches. I even proved a point to my brother by trying to scratch the screen with a coin. Still no scratches. Obviously, if you manage to damage your screen with a coin, it is not my fault!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavriel18:
Don't go without a screen protector. My screen is mashed now.

I'm just saying...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnwatts:
I accidently removed the pre-installed screen protector after trying to add another cheap screen protector over the top. :rolleyes: but sharpishly replaced it the following day with a Martin fields screen protector best £10 i spent and actually feels nicer than the screen itself to scroll with and leaves less marks. i couldn't go without one risking scratching the screen. thats some expensive kit to just scratch and ruin.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubrug:
what do guys do when you buy something like a car? Do you all have plastic on your new couch, do you put screen protectors on your watches etc,etc

It is only a 65000 color so i guess the more screen shields the less chance you will notice all that cr*ppy banding.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroniq420:
I have removed the preinstalled screen protector and a have a couple very small hairline scratches from random pocket contact(possibly keys). The X10 screen is by no means scratch proof or very resistant however i noticed a great improvement in the touch sensitivaty without the screen protector.

Hello,

I'm quite new to the Android family. I bought an HTC Magic.

I use it and it's all fine. I used to send SMS in Greek. Lately when I try to send an SMS in Greek, the keyboard is only in capital letters and they don't receive it correctly but in strange letters without make any sence. Does anyone know how to solve it?

I searched some solutions such as virtual keyboard but it doesn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] erotser:
Did you apply the official HTC update with HTC Sense? That fixes some Greek sms issues,

other than that 2 things. First, check any apps you've installed since the problem first appeared secondly I'd install handsent SMS (that does support greek chars and works perfectly)

I hope this helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] diamond_gr:
I didn't do anything with HTC Sense. I searched the net and found an HTC page . I check that they have the version 3.05.401.3. I check my mobile and it has the 3.05.401.3 CL#98222 release-keys (I don't have a clue what's that).

I don't think it's the apps I installed. I restore the phone to the factory settings and tried to send an SMS. Still the same problem.

I installed Greek IME but I feel it doesn't work well. When I click send, the SMS is still in the box and I think it doesn't send SMS.

Do you think that if I do the HTC Sense thing, it will work with the SMS?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] whiteze:
Hi all.

Bought my lady X10 mini some time ago, all works fine, except answering the calls, it takes her good few slides to answer call, very often she gives up as it gets very annoying. I tried it myself and indeed is a tricky one , you need to be very careful and do it slowly, it requires attention... should be intuitive i think!

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
It's even more annoying with the alarm. It has a slidy thing, and it's a real pain fumbling around trying to turn it off when it wakes you up.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
Me too search something to change the slide cause I find that it's not fast and not so simple. For example, press screen anywhere will be more easily to turn off alarm than slide. Of course this solution is not really recommended to answer call but maybe something else exist ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ieatcannibals:
Ive got problems with slide functions too (alarm ,etc...but not with calls ).you have to move your finger a bit higher than the button is.that helps for me
