[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtx:
I am in my 30 days, and called about an airave to handle the weak signal at my house. The rep told me they could send me one at no cost, with no monthly fee. I was told that it would take a few days to get to my home, and the order number does show the following:

IRFEMTO2	SPRINT AIRAVE 2 0	1	2010-09-24

What is odd though is that I contacted CS to get the order number to confirm it was being sent before I port my numbers and stop my other service (besides my home service I am happy, and had a femto with my old service, so I know it works well in my house), and the CS in chat said that they were out of stock of the 2.0 devices, and likely sent me a 1st gen instead. But on forums I Have read they say they no longer have any 1st gen in stock.

So does anyone know if these devices are still being sent out in a timely manner, or will my order probably just sit in limbo forever till Jan 2011, which is when the rep said they won't be back in stock until.

Thanks

I'm a noob at this... I searched the forum but couldn't find any information.

Could someone more knowledgeable explain to me how to decompile and recompile apk's?? More specifically the framework-res??

I read that you can't simply unzip and then rezip... so what do I have to do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
The apk's are zip files that contain the resources (icons, bitmaps, sounds, etc.) as well as the code compiled in a classes.dex file. You can replace the resources after deodexing, but I don't think you will be able to change the compiled code in classes.dex unless you have the source code.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslee1020:
So for instance... if I have a clockwork flashable battery mod... and I unzip that... and edit colors of icons in the framework-res.apk, then can I just save the files, recompress and it will still flash properly?

And another thing.. if you have a clockword flashable .zip how do you change it so that you can flash via stock recovery? I know that simply renaming it to update.zip and trying via stock will not work. Is it a hard process, do I need a special program on my pc??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
make your life easier..

search xda for Apk Manager
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajendra82:
I am not sure about editing apk's. To create a flashable zip file through stock recovery, you need to have the META-INF folder correctly created with a working updater script and the manifest and certificate files that you get by signing the zip file. Look into playing with the HTC android kitchen on the chef central section here to automate that process.

Sorry, but what exactly does this do?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NYC Coyote:
It's a Navigation system that also uses your camera at the same time. So you see the lines on the actual road you are driving on, instead of a random map.

Of course the phone has to be mounted on the window and can't be obstructed by the actual mount for this to work properly.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ToyTank:
It feeds live video from camera, and overlays maps onto it. The idea being you don't really take your eye's off the road. Use Google search for some videos, I think it is pretty slick.

[Galaxy Spica General] pipebrain:
Hi. So I finally decided to purchase my first Android OS based phone. At the moment, the two phones available to me and in my price range (used, $200 and under,) are the Samsung I5700 Galaxy Spica and HTC Magic (plus a Hero I found for very cheap.)

Custom ROMs aren't too important to me, the stock apps (browser, calender, SMS,) built into Android easily meet my needs, but the Spica's spec sheet is very nice. Obviously the Magic/Hero is fairly dated now, so it doesn't really match up. But the Spica's 3G radio is not compatible with Canadian providers. I need a phone that I can switch from network to network here in Canada. Two to 3 years plans are out of my means currently, plus I don't really like contracts.

I guess what I'm really asking for is: is the Spica worth potentially paying more money for - is its support for Divx, its form factor, its display and its beefier CPU worth an extra $5 a month? Or should I just settle for a Magic/Hero?

EDIT: According to GSM Arena there's a NA version that supports, HSDPA 850 / 1900. Can I verify what bands the Spica supports by checking a menu in Android?
[Galaxy Spica General] AfzalivE:
I have a non-NA Spica in Canada. The only networks it doesn't work for are Windmobile and Mobilicity because they use 1700MHz.
[Galaxy Spica General] pipebrain:
Right. And the other UTMS networks available all operate on 850/1900. So if you're using the non-NA version, which has HSDPA 900/2100, you wouldn't be able to use any 3G network in Canada? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just learning this stuff at the moment.

Personally, I'm going to go with either Koodo or Solo, because at the moment, because of where I'm at, they have the best available prepaid plan.
[Galaxy Spica General] opethfan3:
There are 2 versions of the Spica and 3 of the Magic -

Magic: Rogers, T-Mobile USA (myTouch 3G), international

Spica: Rogers, international

As it would suggest, the Rogers versions of each of these phones works on the Rogers 3G network, as well as that of Telus, Bell and now Sasktel, as well as all of their subsidiaries, such as Solo, Koodo, Virgin, Fido, etc.

The T-Mobile USA myTouch will work with Wind Mobile, Videotron and Moblicity, providing you're in one of their coverage areas. Otherwise it will work with Rogers (and Fido) on their 2G network.

The international (anywhere but North America) versions of these phones won't work on any 3G network in Canada, so you can use only Rogers (and Fido) on 2G.

Similarly, there are 3 versions of the Hero, a Telus one that will work with Rogers, Telus and Bell; an international one that will work with Rogers on 2G and a Sprint one (that looks cooler too) that will only work with Sprint in the US, and doesn't take a SIM card.

Hope this helps :)

If you upgrade and don't like phone, can return within 30 days for a $35 restock fee (ugh), and go back to your phone. You do not lose your upgrade or ability to do so at a later date. Just the cost to try a different phone and return it.

I cleared everything, user and system data etc, flashed the Amon RA recovery and I already had a S-OFF hboot. Then I cleared the system cache.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] dodgeedoo:
I realize this is probably an isolated issue but any help would be appreciated. So I got my hands on one of the hard to find official t-mo myTouch Power Play FM transmitter charger. It has a built in microphone which bypasses the phone's mic when docked. It worked fine until I rooted and flashed to Cyanogen. I haven't tried any other ROMs yet.

When I send or receive calls while docked in the transmitter, my caller cannot hear me. I assume there is some sort of talk between the transmitter and the phone telling it to turn off the built in mic and take sound from the transmitter mic. But the transmitter never switches on. Maybe it's to prevent non-myTouch devices from using the transmitter. I might go back to stock because I love that fm-transmitter and I don't want to buy a new deck for my car.

Thanks!

Hi Everybody,

I'm having a great time with SGS's default video player (certainly the best player for android, bettering the third party players).

But there is one small problem I'm facing with this player.

I'm having loads of movies in my hard disk and I'm using Media Player Classic to see it in my monitor and I press the button 'NumPad 9' to zoom to my desired level, as I hate the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

But in SGS video player, there is no option to do so. There is one great option to "fit to screen". But that stretches the video. Is there any player, through which I can Crop the Aspect Ratio (or Zoom the video)?

If not, Can you guys help me find a video converter that just crops the aspect ratio of the video alone (no conversion, only cropping of aspect ratio), there by it doesn't take a lot of time to convert a particular video.

As of now, I'm using XiliSoft Video Converter.

I'm having D930 CPU. It is taking 200 mins to convert a video file of 2 hr length.

And the funny part here is, the video itself is 700mb. But I'm converting it to 900mb video (but still the quality is reduced) and it takes a lot of time and CPU energy.

If only there was a player to crop/zoom aspect ratio or a converter that just crops the aspect ratio, I CAN SKIP the HOURS of video conversion on my PC.

Help me out guys!!!!

Edit: BTW, if there is any such player to zoom aspect ratio, it'd be great if it plays all kinds of formats like our default player does.

Edit2: Tried Act1 Video Player. Didn't Help. There is an option to crop, but didn't work on SGS :(
