[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] coreth5:
Hey all,

As I'm sure many of you are aware the Swype 1.56 beta has come to a close. I got an updated link for Swype 1.61 and installed it. Now all Swype does is crash. I was wondering if there was any way to fix it. I'm still using the stock 1.6 ROM and I'm not sure if I want to update to the UK 2.1 ROM. Any advise? Thanks

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Dogmann:
Hi coreth,

Maybe it is hasn't installed properly so try removing it and installing it again as I'm also running 1.6 build 4339 and got the update link and downloaded and installed the new version and its working fine for me.

Just a quick question. Well i know on android market has the new flash update or what not. When i hit install everything goes fine and after its done downloading it says app does not have the correct sign on or it hasn't been sign. But now the app itself is stuck on my app list and i can't take it off or install it. Any ideas? Running skyraider sense 3.1. Thx again

I did not write these. I simply extracted the appropriate files from the 1 click rooter. Donate to or thank them if these files help you.

The guides seem to all want you have have a 1 click that pushes the files to your computer. I always have problems with them.

Adb has issues on my pc, so it's easier to bluetooth or drag and drop these files to the root of my phone (/sdcard), and rename to update.zip. Reboot into recovery mode and choose REINSTALL PACKAGES. After you run them and reboot, delete them.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Johev:
Well, the topic says it all, at least a big part of it.

I have read some of your posts and reviews and decided that in order to have a nice big screen I should buy 3 of them and glue the screens together. HEHE

Just joking, to cut the story short I wanted a smarthphone for my mother, and ended up buying one for my wife and sister too.

I have had a very short experience with Android, as I use a WM HD2 and previously I had a SE X1. So I trust SE with this small phone, hopefully the keyboard will last longer.

I wanted to know some things, first is if I can change the Android language, as I suspect it will come with Polish Android. I was thinking of putting a Portuguese version Android in one, a French one in the other and English in the last one. I was even thinking of a Greek one as my mother is Greek, but not sure if there is one like that.

The second question is what software and battery saving options would you recommend. I have read that the answering of the phone calls can be a bit tricky, so I will need to change that, and any other problems that can be solved with software tweaks would be appreciated.

Well, thank you all for reading this long topic and hopefully helping me turning these nice phones into lovely presents for the 3 important women in my life.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
It's actually pretty straight forward to get decent battery life out of them. For the first week or so the battery life is going to suck, you'll be playing with the phone all the time and the biggest power sucker is the backlight on the screen (turn the brightness down in settings). So give things a chance to settle and the novelty to wear off a little before you pass judgement.

As for power saving options personally all I use now is Advance Task Killer Pro (set to autokill when screen turns off) and the Power Control Widget. Advanced Task Killer Pro uses very very little cpu time, so leaving it running 24/7 isn't an issue (a few seconds cpu time per day). The power control widget gives you 5 toggles on your home screen (wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off, gps on/off, sync on/off and backlight full brightnesss on/off.

Beyond that the next biggest power saver seems to be replacing Sony's Home screen software with something else. DXTop, ADW Launcher and Helix Launcher seem to be the best options in my opinion. Helix Launcher is especially good in this regard though it is rather spartan feature wise. Personally I've finally settled on ADW after trying pretty much every Home/Launcher app I could get my hands on, it has a good balance of features and speed..

French and Portuguese support shouldn't be hard to achieve, pretty sure there'll be a generic u20i firmware which supports both of those and English in the one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
I've just noticed that I have run low on internal memory on my incredible and I have nothing rly installed on my phone and all my music is on the sd card

Is there something wrong with my phone or is it the rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlindDude:
I am searching and searching for this problem but no one really has an asnwer... Why cant anyone help us out?

I have a stock unrooted Droid Incredible and have installed about 20-30 free apps from the market and I am getting this low memory error.

I go into "settings/sd & phone storage" and it says:

SD card

Total space

7.39GB

Available space

4.83GB

Internal phone storage

Total space

6.46GB

Available space

6.41GB

Phone Memory

Total space

748MB

Available space

572MB

The only way to correct the problem is to uninstall some programs.

I have moved all the apps that I can to the SD card.

As it is right now, if I install an app, I will get the "low on memory" error and I will have to uninstall something in order to try something new.

I dont want to start a new thread so I figured this one was the closest to my problem.

SO PLEASE help me with this.

I dont really want to use anything other than stock rom, been there done that and had too many probs with little things not working(on a different phone).. I would like to keep it stock..... For now anyway... lol

Thanks for any comments...

Open up a terminal and type "df -h" - post the output if it isn't self explanatory.

This assumes you've rooted the device.

Nope, I haven't rooted it. I guess I should start reading about rooting.

Any links you might want to share for an Android noob? For rooting of coarse.

I come from windows mobile and I never had to deal with "rooting". We just had to "unlock" our phones.

Go to the development forum and check the sticky threads. Particularly, the thread with links to other helpful threads should be useful. Pretty sure you just need to run unrevoked forever, flash a custom recovery, then the rom of your choice.

Internal memory is 4GB, just like the G2, with 1.5 GB free/available (same "issue" as the G2 as to where this memory has "gone").

Also, the stuff in the spec list for the processor is kinda misleading. Yes, the chip might have support for XGA displays and 12-megapixel cameras, but the Desire Z has neither of those features in its own hardware.

Shouldn't the DZ have 512MB of RAM by htc.com and wikipedia..?

But mine shows 256.. :( That's ofcourse if I checked it right (Settings->Applications->Running services and the bottom numbers together :P) Mine feels kinda slow for a high end phone sometimes..
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
How much free RAM do you have though ? If you have a load free, then I doubt RAM is the cause of any slowdowns on your phone.

I don't think all 512 MB is available to the OS, some is used by the radio.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Alluuu:
the bottom bar reads:

Other: 79MB in 4 Avail: 72MB+ 137MB in 12

Haven't been able to totally figure out what the whole thing means, but is there a way to know how much total RAM I have? Wouldn't feel right to have a phone with half the RAM it should have..

Does anyone else experience a little slow camera when moving the picture around? That seems weird since, a long time ago I had the first gen iPhone, and even thats camera was smooth and fast.. There is also a slight freeze before flipping the screen to and from landscape when opening/closing the keyboard..

Thanks for your help though :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I'm new to Android, so learning as I go. But since that first bit says "Other", I'm guessing you need to also add in the sizes of the services currently running, listed above that.

When I add all those figures up for mine, I get to around 366 MB, which I think is about right for the amount of RAM available to Android.

Sounds like you have about 200 MB free, so I don't think you need to worry about free RAM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Alluuu:
I thought of that, but with the applications it adds up to a little over 300, 330or something like that..

So I assume you don't have those lags and freezes on your phone :)?

Correct, mine is fine so far.

[G2 and Desire Z General] smjoshi:
I found a small tool called "Android Assistant" in the market that displays some useful data e.g. it shows that my DZ has a total of 373.23 MB and it also gives a break up between used and free (generally that hovers around 230 MB used and 140-143 MB free - ofcourse depends on what else I am running at any time). You might want to give it a try. It also provides easy ways to kill processes that you don't need or empty Caches of various applications that you may have run in the recent past who haven't emptied their cache on exit.
[G2 and Desire Z General] robjvan:
Total RAM, not Available RAM

I see that everyone's discussed this to death - but I'm still confused about the RAM on this phone. When I see screenies of ROMs I'm about to download, they generally show the poster's DZ as having "Total RAM - 512MB", but any time I check my phone - it shows Total as 368MB. Is this because of the system overhead, and if so - with this much memory allocated, why does it need to consume so much MORE for the OS? If not, is there something wrong with my phone?

Sorry for beating a dead horse, I'm just still trying to make sense of it. Thanks to anyone who can help!

"We've made some improvements to Bing. To continue using the Bing app, you must update now."

That's the message that people have been getting since mid July when they try to use live search or the classic version of the Bing app.

Has anyone found a way to disable the update check feature? Once that message popsup, Bing becomes unusable.

The new version of Bing, while giving Navigation, takes away several nice features, like being able to save to contacts, search by movie theatre, view gas prices and more.

Classic or old version = before 5.x releases
[General Questions and Answers] zyphuris55:
I missed the ability to search for the gas prices. Sure, bing is a nice feature when searching for things, but it sucks as a stand alone app when your looking for LOCATION SPECIFIC things.

The only resolution I can think of is to find what site it gets the gas prices/ movie listings from and make a sub-bing app that only has those things.

Well for a really annoying work around you can enable airplane mode before you open Bing, then disable it after it is open. Works till next opening.
