I have the Commuter for the Desire, been using it for a few months and I really like it. Overall it is a solid case although it has its flaws too. Like with the Defender no filter for the speaker, although it has its own internal, and the top of it is a little bit flimsy like if you pull it out of your pocket from the top the rubber slips up a bit. The cover for the usb on the bottom can be a bit temper mental to get in but you get used to it, there's a method to it. It comes with a nice screen protector and you have easy access to the buttons. It adds a little bulk but very much worth it.

Dear Apple,

I was talking to a friend and she solely bought Apple products because they were branded "Apple" despite the ridiculous price and low specs. Call me a hater/whatever but I still don't like Apple for this sole reason.

I saw this in the funnies today from the newspaper and I had to wake up early to post this before school..

And it continues..

That's what my whole family does.

Me: I got a new phone.

Aunt: What kind Apple?

Me: No. Samsung Vibrant

Aunt: What is that? I never heard of it. It must not be good since it's not an iPhone.

Me: No. It's better than the iPhone. It's android.

Aunt: Well, it's not apple so it's not GOOD at all.

Blah blah I asked her why the iPhone was so great, she said it's APPLE. blah blah blah.

[Off-topic] jianC:
The only reason why apple is so successful is its (blame me for being a hypocrite if you feel like it):

1) propaganda (oh apple is cool and all that crap)

2) amount of dev's coding apps for it

3) low specs (haha), but great software utilization...[one part that htc fails at])

4) (redundant) but it's immense amount of apps.. again..

LOL. Reminds me of the argument I had with my co-worker when I got my Incredible. He was telling me that the iPhone was the best phone out there. When I asked him why, he says because of the nice icons. :eek:

If all the apps ever made for iphone were ported to android , this will create the most humongous market for android any phone company has ever seen ..

Android is the new green guy on the block, give it a year more, the app world will blow iphone away .
[Off-topic] Award Tour:
I had to buy a MacBook pro recently, not because its better (although the build and quality is top notch and just about unmatched) but because I needed it for iOS development. I hated how expensive it was for so little spec wise. $400 for the 8GB upgrade WTF! If it wasn't for me requiring OSX, I'd probably never would own a Mac computer.

That said, their phone's are great no matter how you look at it. Antenna **** up aside, most of the drop call blame should squarely be attributed to AT&T. It's a AT&T/US issue.

Now dont get me wrong, I don't blame anyone for hating the US iPhone due to its crappy service because IT IS a legitimate issue. I also don't blame anyone for hating the Apple brand because of it's positioning (style over utility). But when it comes to the iPhone, they got it right.

I was a Palm OS and WinMo user long before all of this, and many of you probably were too. But the original iPhone was such a huge leap forward in terms of what a smart phone user experience should be like. It wasnt as versatile as WinMo but what it made up for in day to day experience was well worth sacrificing some of the utility.

Today iOS 4 has progressed to a state where you pretty much can't complain. The user experience is still top notch and only matched (and maybe even succeeded) by WebOS, and the utility that used to be missing is now there. The phone itself is quality (of course with its issues like almost any other phone). The specs are aggressive, competitive and well priced unlike their other products.

What made the iPhone good is now being matched or exceeded by others (Android/Web OS). But like I said, it has progressed and still is one of the best mobile OSs out there. Hell even the jail breaking community is not much different than what goes on here.

I own both the EVO and a iPhone 4, and if there's one thing that the iPhone still does better, it's giving a amazing experience straight out of the box. I have to spend hours and hours to get the EVO running competively, and I'm still waiting on some things to come through via the amazing developers here, and while I could (and probably should) jail break my iPhone 4, I haven't yet. It runs great as is. And that's a large part of what's keeping the iPhone slightly ahead with non techies.

hi

i have just upgraded from my omnia i900 to the B7610. Ive noticed theres no auto rotate unless i pull the keyboard out? On my i900 it just rotated when you turned the phone.

Also theres no torch facility like the i900 or is it i just cannot find it?

Thanks
[Omnia II General] kris713:
You need to install an app like gyrator or changescreen or orientation notify.
[Omnia II General] sener:
Idem for the Torch, you need an application, like O2Torch (or directly go to O2Compass).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Quaay:
Hello all,

I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to post this,

but i'm just so frustrated right now and I can't find anywhere else.

So I got my Touch Pro 2 about 6 or 7 months ago. It worked perfectly

for the first few weeks. Then every now and then when I went in and

out of messages a little to often it would brick and I would be forced to

reset it. It kept getting worse. I have to use the quick message (type contact

every time) because i'm afraid going into the threaded message view will brick the phone. The reset count is getting ridiculous. Today alone I have had to reset it four times.

I've noticed in the past month it has been lacking facebook compatibility and

me trying to figure out why has resulted in it bricking many times.

First of all, when i first got the phone i linked all my friends' profiles and set up their profile pictures. But when i added new contacts I couldn't add their facebook account. And I haven't been able to update pictures from friends

that are already connected. So today i decided to hit the logout button on

Data connections. It logged me out and then i logged back in to find most

of the connection between people and facebook entirely gone and all of the profile pictures gone.

All in all it's just plain ridiculous that I can't A - message properly or B - use the facebook compatibility, both of which are things that should just work and not brick my phone. I really hope there is some setting or registry value I can tweak to make it all better. But i realise that is naive so i won't get my hopes up.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xanth:
Realistically the only real fix for that is to just back it all up and do a hard reset (wiping it back to the default configuration). It'll be back to how it was when you got it.

Alternatively you may wish to install a HardSPL and flash a new (better?) ROM instead, but that's up to you. Either way it'll require a hard reset though.

ok, so i bought a new screen protector, and when i applied it, there's no bubbles at all but... it's reflecting kind of a rainbow holographic look which is EXTREMELY annoying... best way to describe it is static/snow or w/e u wanna call it that u'd see on a tv that has no cable, but it's not black and white, it's rainbow colored and the dots are way smaller then on a tv of course... it's really annoying and i'm just wondering is it because i used soapy water to apply the sp? it said in the instructions to use soapy water . . . (it was just a small drop of soap in a whole glass of water, very minimal, almost no bubbles at all were in the water)
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
If you read around that is typical of some of the SP's some people report the rainbow going away on different brands of SP after a week or two . Some report it never going away, so what SP did you buy?

Also its not because you used water to apply it.
[Vibrant Accessories] ookas:
Ya, i contacted the seller and he told me that it was probably because the soapy water did not settle correctly to the adhesive side of the SP, so he sent out another one... hopefully i don't get the same problem with the 2nd one...

here's the product/seller if anyone is interested, i can't say if the product is bad or not, i might of just got a defective one or something, i'll let you know after i install the new one once i get it, the seller has great customer service imo so i really do hope things work out

tinyurl(dot)com/2dss7a6

(posted the url like that and in tinyurl cuz i can't post links)

other then the problem with the rainbow effect i gotta say i got it on very easily without a single bubble, the feel is great, there's no fingerprints on it, and when the screen is off (and the rainbow effect isn't there) it seems to be almost as transparent as the glass itself, i can barely tell it has a SP, just another reason i hope that the problem is resolved with the second SP

Hi! :)

Got a question...well its about restoring SMSs.

Well...I did a backup on GMail via G-Backup Full, problem is i realized that this prog does not have any restore option :( I tried with SMS Backup+ but it does not work :S "restores 0 sms (xxx dumps)" while xxx being my amount of SMS starred in GMail.

Any idea?

I did a full nandroid having all my sms (now on another ROM) but switching back to the nandroid backup all my SMS are gone :S

Thanxs in advance.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] okorn_:
Anyone? :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Subbie171:
I always forget to update my SMS backup and have to do this everytime I install new FWs.

This works in Linux:

download unyaffs.c and unyaffs.h from http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/downloads/list

type "gcc -o unyaffs unyaffs.c" from the directory you downloaded the files to

copy data.img to that folder

type "./unyaffs data.img"

It will then dump all data from the data partition on your HD

navigate to \DATA\data\com.android.providers.telephony\databases

copy mmssms.db (these are your SMS)

copy it back to the phone at the same location (\DATA\data\com.android.providers.telephony\databases)

check if the permissions are the same (not sure if they matter, I just use root explorer and set the same permissions for the file)

reboot and it's done

Indeed, this new version is suckass! I reverted back to the 3.4 (?) version and it's faster than the 4.0, and way faster than the current 4.1 version!

Ah ha... that's why I've had a few calls go through with one way audio, a couple of 'cannot connects' and temporary coma or two... that stupid update I ran a few weeks ago!!! I just reverted back to 4.0 - Does anyone have the 3.4? apk?

Update: I found a copy of 3.4 - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6035817/com.google.android.apps.googlevoice-1.apk

Only thing is, Google made a pretty big shift in the way Google Voice works at the 4.0 level:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=68b66765e4e4ada2&hl=en

I think the new way of connecting calls is faster and more efficient... so I'm going to give th 4.0 apk a shot and see if the stability is acceptable before going back to the 3.4 version. My 2 cents.

most of the root methods mentioned on other topics will not work.

Even the 3 button recovery mode has been disabled

After some experimentation this is the working method

download the update.zip from this topic (Thanks to jentech)

then you need to run adb devices to make sure your phone is listed

(ADB is part of Android SDK, download it from the source

if you get something like

Code:

adb.exe devices

List of devices attached

900098c722a9 device

(if you run adb.exe devices and comes back with an empty list, then make sure you have set the phone into debugging mode Application > Settings > Development > USB Debugging)

then you are can execute

adb.exe reboot recovery

this will take you to the recovery screen

now if your device works with the Power + Volume Up + Home button, then you can skip that, however in my case the 3 button mode didn't work

select the update.zip with the volumen up down button, then hit home screen, it should say installing in yellow, then you are done, it reboots back to normal, and now you can install Busy Box

Before you begin get some important info from the wiki

just glance through it, and look at the pretty pictures.

then to Root you phone follow this topic, which is also linked on the Wiki

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747235

which starts from the basic, to root, all the way to unlocking the phone

post back if you have any question or get stuck at any point

just in case you missed it, make sure your 3 buttons Recovery Mode is working, else keeps all your finger crossed for good luck

the update.zip that you seek is attached to the link of the rooting/unlocking topic linked above
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if the 3 button recovery mode doesn't work

using the Android SDK you installed run the ADB.EXE command

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yeap, you need to copy the update.zip into the phone internal SD card

you can do that by simply connecting the phone to the PC on the USB cable

instead of USB debugging mode, just choose USB Kies mode

make sure Kies is installed
