hello everyone,

i just got a droid X a few days ago but have yet to activate it. i am currently using a BB storm2 which i'm hoping to ditch in favor of the DX. i wanted to play around with froyo prior to making the switch but the "system update" option is grayed out under settings.

Does anyone know any other way to upgrade my phone to the official froyo release? is there a zip file that i can download to update my phone?

thanks for your time!
[Droid X General] Droid X 7:
The 2.2 update is being pushed out as we speak. Try going to settings, about phone, check for updates. That's how I got it this morning.
[Droid X General] inzandity:
The option will stay grayed out until you update. There is an update in the dev section for the official ota though
[Droid X General] felizf:
can you explain? not sure i'm following you....
[Droid X General] giventofly17:
Do you mean it will stay greyed out until he activates the phone? If so, that's not entirely true. I re-activated my Incredible this morning while I was doing all the sbf fun trying to get the update to load(can't be without a phone if I'm on call), and after the sbf on a fresh un-activated phone, I was able to upgrade to official 2.2 over wi-fi.

The option un-greyed after I signed into GMail, and downloaded some things from the market (whether or not that is relevant, or coincidental I don't know) but you can never have too much information. so you can definately upgrade an unactivated phone.
[Droid X General] felizf:
I have been signed in since i bypassed the activation screen and i have downloaded apps from the market and it's still grayed out....:(
[Droid X General] felizf:
ok i managed to get it working. after spending countless hours of googling, i found a solution. in order to get the button "un-grayed", i had to enable airplane mode and then while airplane mode was on I went ahead and enabled wifi. i'm currently downloading 2.2!!! thanks guys!
[Droid X General] giventofly17:
That makes sense, I did have airplane mode turned on so I wouldn't have to turn off the phone to re-activate my other phone.

I have created code in C# to play pandora for windows mobile. I am looking for help with UI using c# and .Net. Send me a PM if your interested.

--To be a little more specific, I suck at UI, looking for someone that can design it and help with making it work. I would like something cool with effects and such.

The code I have pieced together log's in to pandora gets the user's playlist, get's songs, album art, and plays streaming mp3's, pretty much everything the pandora released app does.

[General Questions and Answers] blackwaterstout:
Playing around with Android I've used the Craigslist notifier app. I love it. Set up a notification for "ATV" and it gives me an alert every time a new ad is posted in my area that has the term "ATV" in it. I setup about 6 alerts and it does all the tedious searching for me. Keeps me from having to log in multiple times/day searching for 6 different objects.

Is there something similar for Windows Mobile or even Windows 7 for that matter. Since I dont use Android all the time I'd be happy with a desktop app or a WinMo app.

I've tried google alerts with ZERO success and I did find one app for windows desktop that's $10. A WinMo would be nice though.

Anything?
[HTC Aria General] echodun:
So I deleted a few apps and am curious as to how I go about restoring them to the phone if I say, deleted them by accident. I made a backup of all of the apps on my pc in the SDK Tools subdirectory so they are all there. Also, will installing an .odex file be the same as an .apk file? Do I need to restore the .odex files or will they automatically be rebuilt?
[HTC Aria General] anika200:
How did you perform this backup? With adb? Then it will be easy to put the apps back. You should just be able to use adb with the install command. Just type in adb at the command prompt and read the help instructons for install. Not sure if the install command takes care of the .odex files. You could try it and then copy them over manually if they dont get copied. I am sure once you boot the phone the default .odex will be built, just a quess on that though.
[HTC Aria General] bkmo:
I would think that pushing the files back to the original location from recovery would be the safest bet. ADB install will install it to /data and I would think that the apps being system apps originally then they don't have the signatures anyway to allow an ADB install.
[HTC Aria General] echodun:
I think you're right

I believe I originally used ADB to put them in Android SDK Tools/Desktop/~ folder. When I tried installing them back I don't believe it worked. I specifically remember receiving an error when trying to install the .odex file about a database issue. Assuming it's a system file I'm trying to restore, does someone have the syntax for the push command or how I go about doing that?
[HTC Aria General] kopimi:
If you have the .apk and .odex files on your computer, or really backed up anywhere, you can install them a few ways:

ADB Method

#Prerequisites:

Make sure you have the APK files in AndroidSDK/tools.

1. Connect the phone to your computer

2. Launch a command prompt and enter the following commands:

cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools

Replace "C:\AndroidSDK\tools" with the path to the tools folder in your SDK installation.

adb install filename.apk

Replace "filename.apk" with the name of the file you're trying to install.

Actually, **** it, the ADB method works anyway, why list a bunch lol

No wait, these are original files so you should probably put them back in their original location.

Just use "adb push filename.apk /system/app", replacing filename.apk with your filename, of course..
[HTC Aria General] echodun:
Push it

Okay, thanks for the tips. So I guess when you have files in the system/app directory on the phone it knows automatically to look there for program installs. This is good to know.
[Droid X Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Are any of you guys experiencing terribly slow market speeds after the OTA? WTF? It's painful.
[Droid X Android Development] Pitnefor:
Nope feels the same speed to me
[Droid X Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Try Force Closing the Market app and clearing it's cache.

There were similar complaints on the 2.3.15 Leaked version (which should be the same as the OTA). Clearing the cache seemed to fix that for other people.

I Am just getting ready to update via the 2.3.15 leak myself (had been holding out to see what OTA would be). Since there seems to be little reason to undo all my apps/settings/mods just to get the 'official' 2.3.15, I'm going to go ahead and update via the leak.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phamous Maximus:
SO i just finished transferring a file to my sd card via usb i went to turn off usb and something happened and i got the "damaged SD card". I tried to format but to no avail. Also noticed that phone storage said 0.00mb! that feels very bad. I went to reboot and got stuck bootlooping. tried to flashing rom and get stuck everytime with this..

Copying files...

E:Cant chown/mod /data/app

(operation not permitted)

E:Failure at line 9:set_perm_recursive xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Installation aborted

Pretty sure what happened was with any drive thats interrupted while active it breaks the drive. including the internal memory in the phone

I have tried formatting everything i can but still get the same result.

Please help!!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phamous Maximus:
tried multiple times. Get the same result.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
This is not bricked at all

Pull batter boot into recovery and wipe all cache and data and then boot

Because ur sd card.is now damaged you can't restore from cwm so you hafta start fresh
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
If you formated your internal memory you have gone to far

I can tell you that you.should never do that because it.removes important stuff

So get another sd card

Mout sd in cwm (if you.don't know how look it up)

Transfer a rom of your choice

Flash it and it.will restore the full rom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phamous Maximus:
i got another sd card and put a rom on it(tried a couple actually) still get the same message
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:

[Vibrant General] chini308:
Hi Everybody...

I have done a search and I apologize if the information that I need is located in another thread, or I am not using the right combination of words to find it but I need the OEM/Stock ringtones for my Vibrant.

I switched from a G1 to the Vibrant (which I love). The back and forth with the SD cards, old programs, etc made my phone a mess. So, I did a hard reset and cleared my internal memory. I would have thought that the ringtones would have comeback, but i don't see them anywhere.

There were a few of the stock ringtones that I liked, but I can't remember the names of them.

Could someone provide me with those ringtones? Please? :o
[Vibrant General] chini308:
They're Baaaack....

Ok....the ringtones are back. I performed what i thought was a hard reset (after reading conflicting info on the web). I went into "SD card and phone storage", unmounted my "Phone storage", and formatted my phone storage. I restarted the phone, my stock ringtones were missing.

To fix the problem, I did a factory data reset and now my stock ringtones are back.

I am not sure if this was an isolated incident or whatever but i thought i would let people know what i did to fix the problem.

Thanks for reading!
[Vibrant General] raduque:
Huh, well that's kind of weird, as the stock ringtones are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones and that folder's not anywhere near the internal storage.

Glad to hear it's fixed, though.
[Vibrant General] bmwron:
Hello,

I like you, like the stock ring tones but I've change to a different rom. Is there anyway you can extract them and put them online so I can get the ones that I like? It will be greatly appreciated.

It depends what today plugin you are using. Search for today notes, there are couple of plugins that I have seen. There is a Titanium notes plugin also.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
Rooted the x10 mini pro with the exploid guide.

Do the phone have to be unrooted\repaired to get firmware update?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
No :) should work fine without unrooting.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
ok, maybe different firmware between pro and mini.

An unrooted mini was notified of an update that had to be done with pc companion, but the rooted pro is still on 1.1.A.0.8.

Maybe wait for 2.1 instead.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
Try with SEUS, PC Companion is unreliable.

Hi Guys.

I have a T-Mobile 2.1 Android and want to root-> Update to 2.2 Froyo.

I want to use this ROM:

[ROM] [21/09] Pre-rooted Stock Froyo (2.10.405.2) [Optional mods]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773997

It says: "The radio supplied with that release is 5.09.05.30_2."

Do i have to update my Radio to 5.09.05.30_2 before i update?

Or does it update my Radio itself?

Can i also update to 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 although it says "The radio supplied with that release is 5.09.05.30_2."?

Best wishes

After looking at the Momax website, I'm convinced this is the same case as the one mentioned in the thread above (TPU hybrid), just with the company labeling. if you want one that will fit the vibrant just get the TPU hybrid from eBay in the link above...it's a GREAT case.

HTC Desire HD

Don't know if many of you heard but HTC have brought out an HD version of our Desires, here are some of the specs:

Android 2.2

4.3″ capacitive touchscreen

8 MP camera with 720p HD video capture

WiFi

HSDPA

GPS

Accelerometer

4 GB internal memory expandable via microSD card slot

so who feels swizzed! lol

wonder if some of the DEVs can port some of the features, in particular what makes the 720p
[Desire HD General] ruleamsterdam:
Isn't that just the 4G renamed for areas where 4G networks aren't available?
[Desire HD General] foxmeister:
We already have 720p!

Regards,

Dave
[Desire HD General] live_0978:
not excatly, it's a GSM version which is very similar to the Evo 4G but the EVO's hardware is currently incompatible with UK infrastructure.

yea, but it doesn't quite work right does it?
[Desire HD General] foxmeister:
It works fine - apart from the relatively low framerate. I don't see how the Desire HDs firmware is going to help here, since it is likely it is linked to the radio firmware and/or the camera CCD, which will be different on the Desire HD.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire HD General] gatsu_1981:
Man, this is development forum.

Do you know what development means?
[Desire HD General] andycted:
It's a dev forum, so no place for these stuff here, I guess.

Anyway, what do you want to port ? WiFi ? HSDPA ? GPS ? Accelerometer ? Android 2.2 ? Hold on, I'll do it for you.

4GB internal memory ? 8MPixel camera ? 4.3 screen ? That seems a bit out of these devs skills. No offence to anyone.

720p works ok in most instances, you would have to replace the lens to see big difference.
[Desire HD General] Pitbull_Raven:
I think there is a ROM out there that boasts 720p @ 30fps on our HTC Desire phones.
[Desire HD General] LiL JRG:
Yep, It's still in development, and it overheats your phone after prolonged use. :S
[Desire HD General] live_0978:
supposedly Roufianos has worked on it though you can only record for about 2 or 3 mins max and then the screen gets too hot or something. his thread got locked because he was either being too vague and wasn't giving answers.
[Desire HD General] ouglouck:
Maybe the occasion to grab new sofware from HTC able to record 720p video with a decent framerate ?

Wait and see...
[Desire HD General] abc27:
What you're asking for is impossible.
[Desire HD General] Pitbull_Raven:
Although anything over 800*480 is overkill on our phones because of the resolution,I'd much rather have developers try and enable 720p playback without lag / stuttering / jerking. That way I could enjoy my 720p vids without having to reencode to lower frame size.

After that, I'd welcome the idea of 720p video recording.
[Desire HD General] vanlon:
I wonder if you will need to lug a car battery around on your back and keep it plugged in like the EVO, or will you get more than an hour of battery life...
[Desire HD General] K900:
Desire HD is closer to the EVO, then to Desire. So I guess no ports
[Desire HD General] beidl:
As long as it uses a compatible/similar processor, porting should be easy enough.

The framework and apps are portable, just move them to where they should be.

For the native libraries and apps it has to have a similar cpu, and it does have one.

Of course there are some libs that are Desire/Bravo-only and have to be used in the port.

What remains is kernel hacking. (Getting bluetooth to work, camcorder, etc)
[Desire HD General] Pitbull_Raven:
Sounds possible, as long as there is someone willing to undertake this herculean task.
[Desire HD General] Erroneus:
720p @ 30 FPS recording is smooth at Desire HD. I manged to get it drop down to 28'ish by shaking the phone and filming into bad lighting conditions, which would force the camera to re-focus.

Looks promising.

How does SLCD compare to Apple iPhone 4's "Retina Display" ?
[Desire HD General] deli_gt:
This phone doesn't have SLCD, thats bad as I have HD2 and the screen compared to SGS is nothing I would rather lose that 0.3 inch for the screen quality of SGS.
[Desire HD General] oprisnik:
The HTC HD7 has been introduced today. It also features a 4.3 inch screen.

Engadget says: "We were less impressed by the display's viewing angles, however -- maybe the recent spate of AMOLED, IPS, and Super LCD panels has spoiled us, but the color degradation as you move off center is really offputting. We appreciate that a 4.3-inch superscreen is probably beyond any reasonable manufacturing budgets, but the fact remains that the HD7's current screen feels a step behind the competition, both in terms of pixel density and general performance. "

(http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/htc-hd7-first-hands-on/)

So this is probably the same screen as in the Desire HD?
[Desire HD General] ErMeglio:
That's just what I thought...same screen of the HD2 just because they was ready with it...what a shame:(
[Desire HD General] hapiout:
Awh man, i is depressed now! I was kept hoping of it being S-LCD but looks like its not going to happen! wm7 and devices hav not been released officially to the public yet, so maybe its wm7 downgrading the preformance of the display because its not finished yet ( WM7 devices, most if not all, will not be available until early 2011)

In other reviews of the HTC EVO 4g many sites praised its 4'3" display,

"it's surprisingly similar in terms of color saturation to the Nexus One's AMOLED display when both are set to full-tilt brightness, which suggests that AMOLED's perceived advantage in mobile devices might not really exist" - Engadget

"It is bright and crisp and reading text on the EVO 4G is a dream. While it has received some flack for not being AMOLED we didn’t notice a real difference from the Nexus One" -Phone Arena.

Though i would hav preferred S-LCD to any of the displays mentioned! However, i do hope that being HTC's flagship device the DHD's screen is s-lcd! good things come to those who wait, lets hope that proverb is true! =)
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Only time will tell, we need a better source to be sure about the type of screen.
[Desire HD General] apsis:
Maybe this will be helpfull Display Comparsion from Solopalmari

Looks to me the first time that the Desire HD Screen looks better than the one from the Z, it also looks pretty good compared to the others, except IPhones Retina Display.
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Now this has to be along with everything else just about confirms that its not a S-LCD because they have even changed the text in the link you posted...

it now reads...

HTC Desire HD

HTC Desire HD showcases outstanding multimedia content with its bright 4.3” TFT display and Dolby Mobile and SRS surround sound and is the first to be powered by the new 1GHz Qualcomm 8255 Snapdragon processor.

I think we can safely say bye bye Super LCD, hello TFT normal LCD, lets spend over £400 and then guess what we are recording on our holidays in sun light because we cant see the screen...thanks but no thanks..
[Desire HD General] cd993:
No way :( I really really hope we do get SLCD, surely they wouldn't release it without it?! :(
[Desire HD General] ErMeglio:
I quote you completely. Total sadness here :mad:
[Desire HD General] kcris22:
I already read
[Desire HD General] daijoubu:
Its possible, but bear in mind, they down the Desire Z Youtube video and deleted SLCD too, but we all know the G2 is confirmed to sport a SLCD screen. I read that someone mentioned HTC had to remove it because SLCD is a trademark name, and HTC are not allowed to use it in their official statements. Anyhow, I'm hoping that the DHD has a SLCD, and the frequency of the SLCD word popping out in their press release seems to point it that way too, but so far we still do not know whether a 4.3" SLCD is in existance or not, so yeah, cross those fingers aite =D
[Desire HD General] tranquility1997:
Really annoys me. I have pre-ordered DHD from Clove for long time(20 days) and hoped all the time that the screen would be SLCD.......

More than 400 only a normal LCD. That's OK but why no definite reply with TFT LCD or SLCD from HTC?

I asked Clove and the answer is "NO, WE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE SCREEN". I am considering whether I should cancle the order.

The only thing I'm really bothered with is how well you can see the screen in sunlight, but even that's not a major thing as I live in the north of England....don't think we had a summer this year.

As far as viewing angle goes, I can't see why that would matter. Can't think of a time when I would ever have to view my screen on an angle.
