click the energy rom thread and download the maxsense version, its one of the first threads after the stickies.

its recommended to back up your contact list to your pc or sd card and use task29 before flashing

thanks. I did try to flash a rom to my tilt 2 but I kept getting error from custom ruu so is cleaning my whole rom with task required
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
Hey mates,

i'm wondering if its possible to make a playlist with the tracks in one folder and not sorted by album, artist, or so.

i have many albums which havent got id3-tags, so they're all in the category "unknown". but on my SD, theyre sorted in folders..

so is this possible?

hope you understand what i mean.

thanks in advance,

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
Move all the music to your pc, delete all the folders on the HD2 that have music in except the music file on the sd card, empty that file, copy all the music tracks into that file (not the folders) simplez :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
thanks for your reply.

but isnt there an easier way? just like sort it in the folders they are in the player?..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
i found out, that a playlist created with WMP on my hd2 is also shown in sense player.

in wmp pocket its possible to create playlists by folders. so you can create in wmp the playlist with the songs in one folder and you'll have it in sense player :D

Still, one must admit iPod is much easier to use :(

I was an "apple hater" for many years, but after using my sisters Nano, Sense player just does not measure up for me :(

Maybe someone knows of an application that emulates iPod in WM6.5?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ouzo:
And for those of us that used to have iPods and, therefore, have a large collection of music encoded in the smaller-per-bit rate AAC format used by default in iTunes, Sense can't even sort our music into track order. So annoying. HTC's music player in Android doesn't have this problem for some reason...

Anyhooooooo, I can't help you with better software for your HD2, but we can get iTunes to kinda work with the HD2 - try iTunes Agent. Works well with itunes. Oh, it's free too : ) http://ita.sourceforge.net/

Dependent upon how you set it up, your HD2 will appear as a single playlist on the left of the iTunes window. Anything you add or remove from the playlist will be changed on the HD2 next time you choose to synchronise. iTunes Agent will also add the files to your SD card in Artist/Album sub folders if you like. If you turn on the right browsing options in iTunes, you will see the three columns at the top of the music list, Genre, Artist, Album - this way it makes it really easy to browse what's 'on' your HD2 (much better than one long list).

iTunes Agent doesn't yet support exporting playlists to your device, so if you want to go a stage further and export other iTunes playlists to your phone....

1. just highlight the songs in the desired playlist in iTunes, say ' melt your face off rock anthems' and drag them to the HD2 playlist, then sync with iTunes Agent to get them onto you storage card.

2. Export the first playlist from iTunes (Melt your face off rock anthems) by right clicking on it, hitting export, then choosing .M3U as the file type.

3. Go to where you exported it and open it with notepad. Delete the first line "#EXTM3U", then use the Edit/Replace function in Notepad to correct the file path (e.g Find What: "C\:itunes music" Replace With: "Storage Card\MP3") to reflect where you store music on your phone. Save (as Unicode if I remember correctly).

4. Copy playlist to Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Playlists on your phone then soft reset. Once the phone finishes scanning your card after rebooting, the playlist should appear in Sense Player.

There are two things to watch out for when creating playlists on your phone this way. First is the poopy way iTunes cuts off (appends - my old english teacher would be so proud, not) long track or album names e.g "01 My funky monkey groove mix shubbla ding fong.m4a" will be abbreviated to "01 My funly monkey groove mix shu~.m4a". These entries have to be edited manually in the playlist as far as I can see. (!!!!) Second, you can't edit these playlists on the phone. When you reset the phone the changes are gone. No idea why.

I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but give it a go if you have iTunes on your PC. It has made transferring music to my HD2 so much easier. The only bummer is having to connect the phone in disc mode, which is hardly major.

When switching to a different build do I just swap out the android folders on my SD card? Is their way to keep all my apps and stuff?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Conflikt Icey:
just delete your current Android folder and replace with your new one and if you want to backup your apps and settings you could use MyBackupPro or Titanium backup form Marketplace although Titanium backup is said to have some issues. But seriously though, you need to do some more searching before you make a thread
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Look in your build's thread. Some builds will have instructions for updating a new version. Usually if you are updating to a new version of one build you can just swap the contents of the android folder minus the data.img. I would suggest titanium backup if you are moving to a completely new build.

As the title says.

Is there any way to go back to the way my phone came, if I ever decide against a custom rom after installing one?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beaverman20:
yep you just need to run a std RUU From your pc, that flashes the stock rom, and relocks the recovery!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertandrews:
Okay, I don't really understand what you just said :)

What's RUU stand for?

If not restoring the shipped rom from phone, where would I obtain it from online?

Also keen to learn what this "recovery" is...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beaverman20:
Recovery is the special pre boot rom that allows you to flash a rom.

I dont really know what ruu stands for, but it is basically unrevoked but the opposite, so instead of flashing a new rom. It flashes the stock one...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillThyCat:
RUU = Rom Update Utility.

hello again. does anyone here know the proper way to save images (drawable resources) displayed in an app to the sd card/gallery? ive found two different methods that have given me the same result of saving an image of very degraded quality (tried using both JPG and PNG compression).

here is the code i currently have hacked together:

String imagename = modelname.toLowerCase() + "_photo_" + imagenum;
Log.i(DEBUG_TAG,"image : " + modelname.toLowerCase() + "_photo_" + imagenum);
int resID = getResources().getIdentifier(imageName,"drawable",packageName);
Log.i(DEBUG_TAG,"resID : " + resID);

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), resID);

File SpicyDirectory = new File("/sdcard/Images/");
SpicyDirectory.mkdirs();

String filename="/sdcard/Images/" + imagename + ".jpg";
FileOutputStream out = null;
try {
out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPG, 100, out);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
out.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {

To properly uninstall it you will need root explorer and/or titanium backup.

These are my steps and it worked and I was able to install the latest beta and all is well:

1. uninstall swype using titanium backup

2. delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib using rootexplorer mounted as r/w

3. reboot in to recovery and clear dalvik cache.

4. download swype installer and follow directions

[Vibrant General] araje:
I know this is not a tmobile forum, but then you Vibrant guys are like my real brothers since I use a i9000 Galaxy S with 3g in my part of the world.

I know that 3g for me is out of question due to different bands. I did my homework on that, but then what about Edge data connection atleast. As i studied the tmobile site, it looks like getting Edge connection (unlimited) is also difficult just because I dont have a credit history in US so cant get those EM or EM+ plans i guess.

I have come in and out of US many many times but was always on prepaid tmobile sims and never really wanted data as such. But with an android phone and using 3g for many months, I just dont think i can live without data connection. I know about flexpay and thats what I used last time. But now on tmobile prepaid section i dont see flexpay at all. I see Even More (not for me due to contract) and Even More + which is without contract - but I guess it still needs a credit check?? Also they will force me to buy a vibrant i guess for EM+ plan which I cant since I have my shinny i9000 with me :).

So please brothers, any suggestions that you can give. I have lots of experience with tmobile reps and they just dont know much, many a times (my opinion). Hence wanted to ask here.

So summarizing:

I come with work visa with valid SS, pay taxes and all that, and no credit history. (<- is that bad??). How can I get an unlimited data plan with my talk plan. EM+ ? Flexpay ? (not sure if its still there).

The plan that I have in mind was : 500 Minutes Talk + Unlimited Text + Unlimited Web: 59.99$ EM+ but without creditcheck so I guess thats FlexPay.

Googling around, I saw EM+ flexpay pages of tmobile website but they are not selectable or show up in normal plan selection at all.

Looking forward for help.

I promise that if you ever come to my part of world, :) I will work with you to keep your data connection ON on your Vibrant. I will not be able to give you "H" but surely an "E" :) :)

Thanks guys in advance.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Actually, 3G worked for me on AT@T with the international Galaxy S. The speeds were comparable with what I was getting on my old iPhone in HSDPA mode. The download speeds were better than what I am getting on T-Mobile in my area.

Not sure if AT&T let's you buy monthly plans though.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
When I was in the UK a year ago with my G1, I believe I was able to get onto T-Mobile's 3G with no issue using a pre-paid UK T-Mobile sim. You may want to try to use T-Mo and AT&T pre-pay sims first and see what you can get and who is faster in your area before you get a plan. AT&T has better nationwide coverage and generally faster 3G speeds, but if you live in an area where T-Mobile has updated their towers to HSPA+, then they'll be the faster carrier for GSM phones.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Go with MySimpleMobile (http://mysimplemobile.com). They are a prepaid service with no contracts: $60 unlimited talk/text/web per month. They use T-Mobile's network so you will get 3G.

Oh and they allow for unlimited international texts at no extra charge; this may be useful for you since you are coming from overseas and will probably have friends and family you want to text.
[Vibrant General] araje:
Thanks a lot DarkAgent. Looks like this was custom made for me :) international texting is good but mostly wont be using it if I have unlimited web since I can hop on to gtalk and take it from there. But nice service though. Thanks for the information.

Not sure about 3G since they have mentioned that your phone shoudl support 1700mhz band to be able to use 3g. So there goes my 3g I guess since I have 900/1900/2100 bands UMTS. But edge is still okay, though I will have to find another way to do VOIP.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Nope, with the international Galaxy you will not get 3G on T-Mobile's network, only on AT&T's.

You will get edge, although it is pretty painful, IMO.

But there is WiFi in a lot of places -- check your mail in most coffee shops for free :)
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Oh. I wasnt aware the int version didnt support tmo 3G
[Vibrant General] araje:
Oh well, I am here now. Just wanted to share.

Mysimplemobile isn't that good. They don't do unlimited so much as they advertise.

Just went to Tmobile and did their even more plus plan with flexipay. They don't show flexpay on website but they very much have it.

You can avoid the control charge if you give the card on file.

I am one happy camper.

Hey all, I just noticed that Wirefly has some pictures of the back case of the G2. Maybe these have made the rounds already, but I sure haven't seen them before. It's nothing revolutionary, but I'm digging the G2 logo, as well as the "With Google" branding. Hopefully that's really what it looks like. :D

Just thought I'd share. Enjoy!

very sexy, nostalgic for those of us with old G1s laying around. i would like to see the same boot screen that the G1 had just minus the t-mobile branding. although recent phones from t-mo have had a really stupid boot sequence with the t-mo jingle and the pink box saying stick together or whatever. so long as it's not the new standard t-mo boot i'll be happy, if i could get t-mo phones that weren't horribly branded t-mo i would like them a whole lot more

I like the Google logo on the back - makes it more "legit"

Does anybody know what the phone housing is made of? I know the battery door is aluminum but what about the rest of it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
Area around the screen, aluminium, chin underneath rubberized.

Battery cover aluminium, area around it, rubberized like the chin.

I'm not sure if the rubberized area are rubberized plastic or metal though, but more than likely hard plastic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
pretty sure the whole thing is hard plastic excluding the metal battery cover. though it might be that teflon like material they used in the nexus one.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
I'm about to purchase a Bell Vibrant. Can anyone tell me if they are able to use the cheap non-smartphone data (which is $15/unlimited or $10/unlimited for families)? This has been the case with most non-AT&T branded smartphones I've owned but I want to be double sure before I buy. If anyone with a European i9000 using it on AT&T could tell me that would be great, as since they are essentially the same phone I'm sure AT&T would treat them the same. Also, if you could tell me how your phone shows up in the AT&T online account at att.com/mywireless that would be helpful as well. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Yea, i have the European i9000 with the $15 unlimited data plan.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Good to hear. What does it show up as in your AT&T web control panel?

Also anyone with a Bell model want to pipe in to confirm this 100%?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
get unlimited data plan, or something like 6 GB data plan

the Android Phones are super heavy on data usage
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
What do you mean...the cheap plans we're talking about are unlimited. That's what I have on my Milestone I just pay $10 for unlimited "dumbphone" data (I'm part of a family plan, if I wasn't it would be $15 for unlimted "dumbphone" data).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dawgpound6985:
I can confirm. Bell Vibrant using Family unlimited plan $10. :) Hopefully it stays that way!

Oh and to answer second question, it shows up as unknown device in OLAM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
Good to hear. That's how it works with the Milestone and G1 that I have in the family.

I personally don't think that they will change it. With the Xperia X10, the IMEI's were unrecognized until AT&T got their version and then everybody was bumped to the pricey data plans. But AT&T has already had their Galaxy S for a few months, so it seems like the time to do that is passed so we should be safe. The only confusing thing is how/why AT&T recognizes Nexus Ones. I suppose Google felt they had to give the information so that they wouldn't polarize their relationship with AT&T.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
I had a previously typed review for this that went into a lot of depth but I lost it accidentally. I was thinking about doing the same thing again but I figure it isn't worth it. Instead I'll give this brief review.

The screen protector(s) are shipped in a regular envelope with only a receipt (no instructions, spray bottle or microfiber cloth). The receipt guides you to a URL for installation instructions which are in the form of a youtube video.

Anyway, long story short I put the SP on my GF's Bold 9700 first (as she doesn't really care about the look and feel of it). The end result was absolutely pathetic. I was able to get out the large air bubbles but there are mini air bubbles everywhere which will not come out no matter what I do. The texture is absolutely awful. It has an orange peel texture and it's rather rubbery so I would definitely not recommend it for a touch screen phone. The material is somewhat elastic and will bounce back to a certain degree, although there are numerous spots where something has pressed against the screen and the dents are still clearly visible.

On the up side I got plenty of material to cut a home button protector out of.

Conclusion:

Protection [5/10]

It's quite a durable material but the pieces were not even cut correctly to size.

Feel [3/10]

Feels like garbage as described above.

Look [3/10]

Looks like garbage. You can see the orange peel texture and the material isn't very clear.

If it weren't for it being "free" I definitely wouldn't have gotten it. I figure since it was free you couldn't really go wrong, but in this case it still probably wasn't worth it. (I say "free" because they charge you a lot more than it takes to ship the product so you are paying for the product to some degree)
