[Touch HD General] sameerabedi:
Dear all,

I've been searching the forums for info on this, but have so far been unsuccessful.

Sky Mobile TV apparently lets you watch Sky Sports, News etc on your mobile. I know this is possible on the iPhone, but is it possible on the Touch HD?

Logging on the orangeworld.co.uk - I can get to the mobile TV page where there is a Sky Package page, but I can't prescribe to it.

I have CorePlayer running on my Touch HD, is there a URL from which you can stream Sky Sports? Is anyone able to watch Sky Sports on their Touch HD?

How???

Many thanks for reading.

In your app drawer? not possible (yet) as far as I know

On your homescreens? Android does that natively, no need for an app to make a folder for your games.

What I do to keep things organized and keep my app drawer from looking like a scrapyard of apps is I make folders for stuff (right now I just have tools and games) then I hide all the apps in those folders, as well as any other apps I don't need to see in my drawer (like chrome-to-phone, its a one time setup). I use LauncherPro which lets you hide apps in the drawer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobgod:
Ok maybe this will be better looking for a app so I don't see so many when I bring up apps I rather see a folder with all games in there not see 5 games when I hit home than bring up apps that's where I want to see the folders

Hi everyone. I am a complete idiot when it comes to phones so I thought I was doing well when I shelled out some cabbage for the HTC HD2 only to find that the WinOs SUX! Thats how I found this site. I am wondering if anyone can provide step by step video / detailed instructions on the best driod os for a tmobile usa htc hd2 with updated rom.

welcome to the forum; everything you need to know is DEF here......now with that said I have to be the first to say that nobody is going to be inclined to help you until you read up and educate yourself first a little bit. people go through the trouble of writing tutorial and making stickies for the soul purpose of informing people (such as yourself) with limited/minimal knowledge. do yourself a favor and take a little bit to familiarize yourself with your phone and read as much as you can and I'm sure that whatever questions you might have about getting started will be found. as far as which android os is better, well that's subjective. your best bet is to flash and try any and all and form your own opinion. good luck and welcome again.

Use either darkstone sence or hdfroyo from darkstone by far best android builds. I got the crazy robot voice during calls with 2.13 tmo us rom. I would use one of the custom roms people on here sugest. Or do what i did and install the previois tmo us 2.10 rom. All can be found on this site. Look around there are plenty of guides and search on youtube there are videos on there also. Just a note android is much better than win mo but the builds are about 95%. They all still have some small issues, bluetooth not working, compass os wacky ect. But very useable as an everyday os. Goes on sdcard so your NOT replaceing win mo. If you restart the phone youll be back in win mo and have to start android again but its a simple prosess and there are android launcher apps on this site that will give u a win mo icon to launch android in one click. Pretty slick. Just do some reading you be ok.

Thanks and appreciate all your efforts.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
Welcome and congrats on the X1,

before answering I would like to inform you that this has been asked I don't know how many times. I have difficulties with big numbers. :)

A little search and taking advantage of the stickied threads in this forum would have and will provide all required answers. Except for the advice on upgrade.

To use customized roms you have to h-spl your phone (olinex thread, including how to), then you can flash either using ruu or sd method (see biovolt and badwolve reference threads for tutorials and additional information). If you have to go back to stock for e.g. warranty reasons find your country/provider stock rom in badwolve reference thread (pavelx1) and the stock slp in olinex h-spl thread.

Updating is up to you. I personally like 6.5 but many complain about lack of speed, as X1 was never meant for this wm release. Give some roms a try and decide for yourself.

Best

Dear Draken,

Really thanks a lot for your nice reply, but as you know that I am new over here and at the same time I've just bought it just before 3 days :p and as you know that there's a lot of questions, so it's hard for me to check all the comments :)

Dear .. May you help me on these things:

1- would you to provide me a link for downloading the stock ROM for warranty reasons, and a link to increase sound of ringing tones to be working both in 6.1 and 6.5.

2- Regarding to the flashing of using ruu or sd methods which are better to save time and to save the device .. lol :)

3- Can you tell me what do I need when I want to upgrade to 6.5 (With Links).

I am really so sorry because of all these questions :(

Thanks Boss ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
Trying to help...

1. to revert for warranty reason,

Stock ROM, Stock SPL, Custom RUU

For tutorial and link, read this at point 4: http://ruslyfriend.blogspot.com/2010/09/concise-flashing-rom.html

2. I've read somewhere here, SD Method somewhat is safer to avoid your device from bricking. But RUU is more friendly for me.

3. Read the same tutorial above, I bookmarked the tutorial. It is real concise for beginners or XDA dummy like me. :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulham82:
Dear Mymailx,

I would like really to thanks you a lot too because you've provided me this link :)

If you don't mind I need two softwares:

1- To increase the volume.

2- Arabic language for the the whole X1, and what I mean for the phone it self, SMS, and for the keyboard.

Really thanks for everyone whom helped me in this nice site :) :) :)

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
You are welcome,

I can feel how you feel to be newbie here. :D I'd been newbie too. But never give up.

1. There's a patch called "AudioPara". All you need to do is download the files and move them to \Windows directory or you can install equalizer; HTC audiobooster, but it's not working on speaker.

2. You can have it if you choose proper ROM. Since you're trying to revert to the stock ROM, you can choose the proper stock ROM. Language is inside the SYS which is inside the ROM.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mulham82:
Thanks :)

Dear Mymailx,

Really, thanks again for your nice information :)

You know that I feel my self is a noobie .. lol because I've just bought it since just 5 days, and at the time some people told me that don't buy X2 because it's has some problems and there's no arabic language then I the sony ecrisson company stoped selling the X2 because of these things and no one is buying this Mobile, so I said to my self to buy X1, and then I saw this site which talking about how to install MW v6.5 then I started like to know how we can do this move .. lol .. This is my story :) :) :)

Anyway, do you have that link of "AudioPara" patch .. ?!! and I need to install the Arabic language now in WM v6.1, so if you know it just provide me the link, and really I will be grateful to you :)

By the way, did you installed WM v6.5 in X1, and if you know a good ROM give me the link :) :) :)

Thanks again to you mate :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Black'd:
For increasing volume of speaker just install the attached cab

It will shout like hell ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
AudioPara has been solved by MrBlack'd

About arabic language. forgive me, I was wrong. I finally found that Arab is not supported in WinMo. I dunno know if it's right to believe. But the other way I found that there's a software name "Multilanguage Support Version 3.0" for Wm6.1 that can change your X1's language including Arab.

Unfortunately the download link is obsolete so you need a little search.

For Wm6.5.5 (newest version and build) you can try XPURE ROM by Russell Eclair for X2 interface and 862x and Energy ROM for HTC interface. Choos you like.

[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Since a new thread seams to pop up every day asking for ETA's I suppose we can have a thread specifically discussing what we ACTUALLY know. Here is what "I" know at the moment.

GPS Fix

Currently there is a leaked firmware (see development forum) that looks like it improves the GPS functionality nicely. This has a build date of Sept 7th so it is fairly new. Due to certain issues, this appears to be a beta still. However, it does have the TMO apps on it so it is further along than a pre-carrier build. Given a beta cycle of a couple of weeks, if this goes out as an OTA, it would look to be at the end of the month at best.

It has been reported in another thread that TMO will start rolling out a GPS/Lag fix on Sept 20th. This is most likely based on, or is, the leaked ROM that you can find in the dev section. So far, reports on the GPS fix are "mostly" positive.

Froyo (Android 2.2.)

There have been no leaked ROMs for the Vibrant yet although there is for international versions. Samsung_mobile on twitter said Froyo at the end of September. Given the information in the previous section, it seems an interim build may be coming to TMO first, before a Froyo is pushed out. This one though is a complete unknown besides from that twitter post.

It is currently expected that Samsung will release a Froyo build TO CARRIERS on Sept 23rd. We are not likely to see a Froyo update for at least 45 days after that if not longer depending on how long it takes TMO to "wiz it up"
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
GPS is working very nicely for me on that new rom with no issues.
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
I was locking onto 6 birds yesterday. All stock. WHATUP NOW

Still take some froyo though haaa
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
While I appreciate that the leaked ROM may be working for you, a lot of people dont want to mess with ROMs and are more interested in an official update. Although you can install that ROM today, we have no actual date of an official release.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Yeah, if we are lucky, we may get it by the time Google releases Android 3.0 in October....

I am sooo disappointed that every Android manufacturer locks down their product so tight, that without their cooperation, the phones are simply not upgradable to the new OS versions. In a way it's worse than dealing with the iPhone :(
[Vibrant General] couped:
Wake up dude. It has nothing to do with that and EVERYTHING to do with testing and finishing drivers, UI, etc. People complain about a buggy release then demand updates right away. Its not going to happen.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Nope.

Samsung can test the OS in advance, so they can get their drivers ready for launch. Both HTC and Moto did it, and Moto is hardly the most responsive company out there.

And the UI, it's crap, IMO. But if Samsung thinks TouchWiz is so great and important, then spin it off and make it available in Market, when ready.

There is really no good excuse for the delay. Samsung is just not dedicating the resources they need to.
[Vibrant General] thedarkpassenger:
are you serious?

I think you need a new hobby...
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Obviously someone that hasn't been in the software development field.
[Vibrant General] thedarkpassenger:
Amen.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
In T-mobile/Samsung's defense...

When the first update for the G1 came out, it released in the UK before it hit the U.S.

Turns out that there was some kind of security bug in it, and they actually had to stop offering the update.

The testing aspect is why these updates take so long. It takes longer to test (and fix minor issues) than to correct the main problem.

What it boils down to is that no one really knows these devices in and out. You have cameras from one company, radios from another company, GPS chipsets from a third company, processors from a 4th, etc... and on top of it all your OS is written by a company that is very new to the electronics business.

The problem is the pace of technology.... sure you could pay 2 or 3 geniuses $100,000 a year for 2 years to learn every idiosyncrasy of ONE of your devices... but does that make sense when you have 2 or 3 new models going to market in 6 months?

Apple is probably the best suited company to have a team of experts who know their ONE device in and out... and even they screw it up (proximity sensor, antenna debacle).
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Actually, part of what I do is pay people to do software development.

Again, if this was a priority for Samsung, we would have 2.2 now. They have control over more hardware in the Galaxy than most other phone manufacturers.
[Vibrant General] vaughnsphotoart:
Maybe old news by now, but Androidspin is reporting Froyo for the international version with a Sept 23 release date.

noob user, can't post links. visit android spin for the story.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Ill agree with this, if Samsungs priority was 2.2 it would have been done by now, easily. I mean 2.2 has been out since may. Its 4 months later, they could roll it out now if it had been properly and timely worked on.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
It's not like all Samsung makes are phones.

....

I'm still waiting for the HTC TV, HTC Washer and Dryer, maybe a Nokia Refrigerator....

[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
So... your the accountant? Or someone who contracts with vendors to do development for the company you work for? Supply the funding?

Sorry, not a ringing endorsement for understanding the development cycle without more details.

I'm guessing you meant to say, "if this was a TOP priority for Samsung, we would have 2.2 for now".

I'm guessing it's not, for a variety of business reasons. I'm sure it is in the mix with a lot of other efforts.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Well, I do a bit of most of the above.

So, you are a fanboy?

If HTC and Moto could do it, so could have Samsung. Especially since the Galaxy S is supposed to be their weapon with which to take over the smart phone market.... And since they have more control over key components than their rivals.

Anyway, what's your point? That writing drivers is so tough it takes years?

Or that we should not expect much from Samsung products, because they are a diversified company and can't focus on any particular product?
[Vibrant General] MV10:
I pay 400 people to do software development, and I agree with the other guy.
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
Ha, no. I'm OS and hardware agnostic across all platforms.

My point is realistic expectations. If the GPS update was top priority for Samsung and/or easy to fix (it very well may not have been), it would be done.

As the owner of a company, you know more than anybody the tradeoff's that need to be made when making business decisions. It easy to complain when you are individually impacted about the priority of some specific piece of work, but for Samsung you know they made concious decisions about release scheduling.

Given recent news, it looks like the GPS/hardware fix is being release seperately from 2.2. I'm a little dissapointed in this, it's seems likely that means we will not get the 2.2 fix before the end of September. Ideally they would be rolled together if 2.2 was close... unless the fix just took so long the release timeframes have been squeezed together. And all assuming the GPS fix is merged with 2.2.

Anyway, I'm rambling, no way to know unless we sit in on Samsung development meetings and what challenges they have had with the 2.2 release.

My 'guess' is Samsung had marketing dates to meet with the original OS and released the product before everything was baked in. There are lots of oddities and bugs in the phone I have not seen in other platforms (like HTC), and these are hopefully fixed and may explain the extra time.

I agree with you re: the UI. For those that care, and it likely the more technically savy are the ones that care, it's easy to change... one of the compelling things about any android device.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
The Tab is nearly ready to launch. I'm sure it has been tested with 2.2 for a number of weeks, if not months. The have the drivers ready. They are likely devoting tine and energy to hardware releases at this time. It would be nice if they would release vanilla android then the other stuff in the market. They already do that for the samsung home and car apps.

It is really frustrating that these companies cripple good devices with bloatware and make you root to uninstall it. Gingerbread will be nice because all of these extras will be apps. Which is how it should have been from day one.
[Vibrant General] jz9833:
I can agree with people who are talking about a business decision is what it comes down to for Samsung. If you throw more money it usually goes faster, and with less money it goes slower. However staff, expected quality, etc are other factors.

The KEY point a lot of you are missing when defending Samsung is the life cycle of cell phones. They are only hot and on top for a limited amount of time (6 months or so). If 2.2 hits the Galaxy S series it would get a second wind to its life cycle, but if thats too late and other devices are coming out with similar (if not better) hardware and software then they lost there chance and the second wind won't have the same impact.

The Galaxy S series has already seen unusual sales prices for this stage of a release so I'd imagine it would get faded out soon if Samsung doesnt do something. They aren't even the top phone for any of the carriers now, promotionally speaking.

AT&T:

iPhone 4

T-Mobile:

G2

Sprint:

Evo (still is and always was)

Verizon:

Droid X, Droid 2, Droid Inc.

My point is even from a business sense, if they want continued sales and honestly expect to sell 10 million copies they better do something now.
[Vibrant General] mjpacheco:
It's not so much a defense for me as a "I know it's coming" so I'm not going to sweat it. I'm much more irritated that my kid's cliq is still on 1.5...

I think that the OS savy portion of the marketplace is your early adopters, as penitration is made it's more the eye candy than anything else. Additionally, I don't doubt (or at least they should) market the Vibrant as a superior product than the G2.

A majority of people I know buying android phones now are not OS or even hardware aware, they walk into the store and buy what impresses them... they are oblivious to the 2.1 vs 2.2 argument. Unfortunately I do not think Samsung is feeling the pressure you imply they should. It may be they end up regretting that, or not.

A smart marketing ploy would be to refresh the campaign for Vibrant when 2.2 is released, touting its OS upgrade in some fashion. The timing of that would be critical, and might actually cause this delay that would otherwise not exist.

This might be what they are doing... of course I could be giving them WAY more credit than they deserve!

p.s. And it might be the timing of this that we are disagreeing upon.
