You can get your homescreen to

Appear on Tv by the following trick

Launch Gallery apps (not media gallery)

Play a short hd video (recorded with your xt720)

Select display on tv

Wait for video to finish

This will display the gallery.

Press back button

Your homescreen will be displayed on tv

The only limitation is that your xt720 lcd screen will be stuck in video control mode and your have to guess where to touch the screen!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dijon:
Thanks, but...

Launch Gallery apps (not media gallery)

Play a short hd video (recorded with your xt720)

Select display on tv

Wait for video to finish

Display gallery show for a second and leave a TV screen immediately. Not stuck ... I tried several times. : (

Once i select DISPLAY ON TV show comes to incoming calls, whether to receive or NO, YES his election, whether this prolem?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chezzzuk:
I usually select YES for incoming call.Are you definitely using the Gallery app as it does not work in Media Gallery app?

Maybe try a different video, that sometimes help.

Also what software version are you on. I am using a uk xt720 with s/w

Ver str_u2_01_1e.0

Sent from my Milestone XT720 us Maing XDA App
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dijon:
Yes, I tried both, same result. : (

Version is the same - str_u2_01_1e.0
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chezzzuk:
I just try few minutes ago. Needed few attempts to get this trick working. Not very reliable!!!

Best to have gallery in landscape mode and play at least 10 seconds of 720p video.

Also I checked rock player app and unfortunately it does not play full screen. Only youtube and default player seem to play full screen.otherwise you get only the 854x480 resolution which is only a fraction of your tv screen.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dijon:
Alright, thank you. After all, the pictures of the screen didn't stuck, after the video the tv just turn off. I will wait for update 2.2

Thanks again
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chezzzuk:
I think the video player application has to support "Display on Tv" to get full screen. Hopefully there will be an app for that in the future

I was over at my Mom's the other night and was talking to her husband about my phone (He's an apple fanboy). I think I convinced him that the Iphone was a piece of $4!t.

I told him that my phone will do 3 things that the Iphone will have trouble with. First I made a call while holding the phone in my left hand. Second I pulled out the battery and finally I pulled out the SD card.

I thought it was kinda funny, so I thought I'd share...

While yes, it's a video of the Desire HD.... it's pretty much the same phone as the EVO but with all the crazy new sense features that are ALSO coming to the EVO. That video blew me away. Some of those features are priceless.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I haven't even finished watching the video and I'm a little blown away. Those are some very, very cool updates :)

[EVO 4G General] illogic6:

Southparkstudios.com also works with the Android flash player. How awesome is that? :D
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
O.o Some of those features towards the end like phone lock or the htc sense.com integration with the texting redirect and call redirect is amazing...how do you know its coming to the Evo? :D
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
I came over from a 3GS as well, and I might not have, if it wasn't for the iOS4 update. My 3GS was jailbroken, and set up really well, but I'm a big cycling fan (loved seeing HTC-Columbia featured in that Desire video, even if I did have to watch that tool Cavendish win...like I don't have to see that enough already), and the Tour de France app was crashing on 3.1.1, so I had to "upgrade". Even after jailbreaking iOS4, it was just never the same. Except for the camera and display, my 3GS would have handed the new iPhone its ass, in terms of functionality.

That said, I'm a longtime linux geek, and I did want an android phone, plus the school I go to, their website is in flash, and I do homework through it sometimes...very doable on the Evo, impossible on the iPhone.

Oh, and now I get through phone conversations without losing the call.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
Did u also show him your bad battery performance, Weak 4g coverage inside buildings, or crappy market? The envo is great, but all phones have problems, people need to stop tryingn to convince other people and just enjoy their phones.

Welcome to technology.
[EVO 4G General] evohack99:
Yeah by december they will have dual core proccesers in phones, when will the evo get this upgrade?

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Actually my battery performance is better than my friends iCrap not so 4g. In fact as of right now I'm sitting at 52% battery after over 13 hours without a charge (that's with moderate usage).

I have had no problems with my 4g coverage.

And as for the market, I can't really compare because I haven't personally used the app store. I do know that there are a lot more free apps vs. paid apps and we have one app that is particularly useful, wifi tether. Plus the App Store has about a year up on the Android market (they opened around the same time, but Android didn't have paid apps until about a year after it opened, which limited the amount of "big name" apps). As more people realize how poorly engineered the junk is that apple is putting out and start realizing how much more potential that Android phones have over Apple, I guarantee that you will see a big increase in great apps. Just like there has been in recent months with the increases in phones that are fully capable of dethroning the iPhone.

Plus my cell plan is a lot cheaper than it would be with AT&T, and in my area the coverage is excellent. In fact it's much better AT&T's coverage. (That's how I got my fiancee and her family to switch to sprint)

And you really need to practice what you preach. You shouldn't start your reply with a statement trying to convince someone of something and then tell them to stop trying to convince people.

Sorry if this is a little winded, I just hate when people make a blatantly hypocritical statement and also have no idea what they are talking about.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
... no offense but those are the dumbest reasons which can easily be countered if the iPhone guy had any brains. Heres how:

1) Antennagate is not an issue, affected only 2% of iPhones, get a free case anyway

2) You don't need to pull the battery on the iPhone because it does not have a **** battery like the Evo

3) The SD card is nice, but the money spent on buying a new one can be used to just buy a better iPhone with more flash memory. Its also faster than an SD card.

Here is what you SHOULD have said:

1) My screen size is bigger so I can actually see larger websites easier

2) My phone supports flash completely - yours has 0 flash

3) My provider has better coverage and is much cheaper a month

4) Unlimited bandwidth

5) Free tethering

These are ACTUAL legitimate reasons to get an Evo over an iPhone. Those cases you mentioned are wins for the iPhone which is kind of ironic.
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Antennagate is an issue. It is a blatant design flaw. And instead of fixing it, like they should have, they offer you a case. What if I don't want a flippin' case. Oh, I guess I'm just SOL. I know it only affects 2%, but what is 2% the probably 2.5 million phones that have been sold? That's 50,000 phones. Thats a lot of people.

The SD card is an issue, because If I want to, I can have multiple cards for whatever reason I want. Which makes my phone more adaptable than the iPhone. And I have never had an issue with my sdcard being slow.

And as I said in the post above you, the battery isn't crap. I get better battery life than my friends iPhone. People have issues with the battery because they don't know how to use their phone. And you don't even have to really limit the functionality of the phone in order to make it better. And it is nice because when my battery starts to not be able to hold a charge (like all batteries do, yes even God Steve Jobs') then I can just go buy a new one. Instead of having to send it in to apple or take it to their store. It also makes it more adaptable. I have the choice to do with it what I will.

I see a theme here with God Jobs. He likes to limit your choice, and I don't like that.

EDIT: Oh, and don't tell me what I SHOULD do, because you're not me or my mother. So just dont.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I have both so I'll join in on the fun.

1) The EVO's screen may be bigger but the iPhone 4's DPI is higher. So it's actually also easier to read on the iPhone at farther zoom levels. This is something that I love about the iPhone 4.

2) True, but it's not 100% perfect and the Snapdragon the EVO has doesn't have hardware acceleration (the newer snapdragons do), so it lags down web pages to levels that I haven't experienced since WinMo 5.

3) I don't know about coverage but I agree with plans.

4) Agree.

5) Free tethering? Yeah, right. It's $29.99. Oh you mean rooting and getting it for free? Oh. Well you do know that it you can jail break the iPhone 4 and get tethering for free too? Oh and if you live in a HSPA area like I do, you get speeds of 4 Mbps. Not bad.

By the way, the iPhone 4 isn't AT&T. We have a lot of international visitors here so for them a lot of your arguments would be null.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
This is what I mean. My statement was not ment to bash the evo or the iphone, but this is exactly what happens everytime. The owners feel the need to make claims on how commonly known issues for the phone are not issues for them, while pointing out the other phone problems. Then other other person just does the same. Just like you did with your comment about how your battery life is way better than an Iphone and that the iphone has attena issues. Just enjoy your phone, regardless of what issues it "DOESNT" have.

I have both an iphone 4 (tmobile), and im testing out a Evo to see if i switch to Sprint. Im fine with either of them aslong as I stay asfar away as possible from ATT.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Lol yeah its typical human behavior actually. I remember learning about it in my psychology class. Once you learn you are doing it though, you mature out of it.

Heres the thing:

The Evo has some serious god damn flaws in it. To deny the fact that the battery is garbage is to deny the sky being blue. I know you saying that your Evo has better life than the iPhone is complete **** based on hardware restrictions alone. The iPhone has a 45nm processor with a much larger battery. The Evo has a 65nm processors with a much smaller battery. I don't care how many kernals and placebo effects you go through, the iPhone has better battery. I'm not even going to bother reading the rest of that post because I think anyone who makes a statement like that based on complete bull**** is not worth my time.

Honestly if the iPhone was on Sprint and not ATT I would jump on it right away. Amazing app market, great screen resolution, amazing battery life. ATT really kills it for me..
[EVO 4G General] skennedy843:
You can get usb tethering for free with out rooting you evo. To get WiFi tethering you need to root.
[EVO 4G General] scottndville:
Forgive me for saying... Isn't it a bit sad that all of you guys argue like kids to a degree about what phone is better? We can all go on for days about why we like this phone better than that phone. But truly that's all your doing. That and getting mad about it.

I was an iphone fan for 3 years starting with the first one. Love love love loved them. What changed for me was the chance to save 70$a month on my plan. Enter sprint. The thing that sold the phone for me that being a hero was it has android on it. Its not the equipment because equipment is comparable. Its the OS. IMO that we all love. I'm won't sit there and try to convince someone why they need am evo, I will simply share with them why I like mine so much. Otherwise I'm another religious zealot trying to convince the world their going to hell.

Bye bye :)
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
What the issue is, is that you're an apple fanboy who hates ATT. The battery is completely acceptable to me. It gets me through an entire day and then some. So for you to say that the battery is junk, is completely untrue. It also tells me that you have probably never used an evo and read junk reviews like the one on techcrunch.

And to correct your arrogance, the battery on the evo actually has a larger capacity than what I could find on the iPhone. 1500 mAh vs. 1470 mAh. So suck it...

Edit: Oh, and watch your language please
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
Did anyone notice that none of the posts make the iphone look like ****? Faster memory, better looking screen and an antenna issue that isn't really an issue? Personally, the iphone 4 is a beautifully built phone. The feel of it, the look of it..it does, and always will look better than my Evo. But i do love the android operating system. If the iphone was on Sprint, i would have a tough time choosing.

Now, if i could get an iphone 4 running Android on sprint..that would be killer.

Holy cow..someone with a brain.

[EVO 4G General] illogic6:
At this point I've resigned from arguing which of the two are better. Android has the marketshare in a year or or so and will become the Windows XP of smartphones pretty much inevitably. Gartner predicted this just after the iPhone's yearly refresh. Android is set to make another huge push this holiday season. We'll probably see a dual core Droid branded phone this holiday season in the States. If that does as well as last year, Apple will be buried.

There were more devs interested in the Android platform at Appnation a couple weeks back. Android's already won.

Windows is to Mac OS as Android is to iOS.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
I sorry man but looking at your sig you have limit experience with different phones. I can tell you that with everthing on, the Evo will not last as long as the iphone4. And yes i own both. But like always you can just as easily say you can swap out the battery and the iphone cant. It just goes back and forth with no winner. Just enjoy your great 4.3in screen.

Apple makes awesome products, quality is above most. Give a company credit for developing and marketing a phone that is the highest selling and most popular out. regardless if you like it, or support it.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
I would hate it if you were my stock broker.
[EVO 4G General] Whosdaman:
Such ignorance...for every apple fan boy, there is an android fan boy. There is no winning this argument. Apple brings out a phone every year claiming its the best thing ever yet it always leaves something major out it has a major design flaw. Android has multiple devices and carriers that can support it thus meaning it should surpass the iphone. A dozen companies and a dozen more carriers vs. 1 carrier and 1 company? Seems fair right? And yet iphone still is fighting.

Just my two cents, by the way...

Samsung epic ftw :)
[EVO 4G General] ranmanx:
Yeah, all but one of the Iphone fanboys in my department are now running on Android in some form or another.... Once they saw my Evo in action, it was over.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Doubt it was because of your Evo. I'm inclined to think its because of ATTs horrible service...
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
No.....it was the EVO. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Oh, don't worry you'll never convince him. Even if you prove some of his so called facts wrong.

Let's just agree to disagree, and move on.

I was just trying to convey a funny story to my fellow Evo owners and of course the Apple trolls had to come in and say, "But mine's better."
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Look at the thread you started. It's no better. I have both phones and most people are more interested in looking at my iPhone 4 but you don't see me creating threads over it.
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
I just don't get why all this fuss about apple fan boys. I have actually never seen one. People walk by with iphones don't come attacking me trying to convert me to apple. So why is all these insane fuss over convincing people that their iphone is crap. It just makes more that android users are the insane fanboys to me. If someone has an iphone well thats their decision no need to pull out your own phone and waste time comparing.
[EVO 4G General] HiDefinition:
This is amazing. Hope this doesnt take long to port to the Evo

[Epic 4G General] tommi_han:
Has anybody noticed that if you use the gps status app before you use the google maps that the gps connect quicker for any app using gps such as maps, weather, where, etc... until phone reset.

When I run google maps first gps would just search for several minutes and sometimes wouldn't even find the location. So for anyone with gps issue probably try the gps status app from the market first.

I'm wondering if the gps status and google maps access the epic 4g gps differently... just a thought
[Epic 4G General] Yonni22:
I did what you suggested and indeed the gps locked much faster on google maps when I used GPS status first.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
three epics here. extensive GPS testing over weeks now.

what you are seeing is gps status forcing aGPS vs "use wireless location, whcih is not aGPS.

If your ephemeris is new or has been cleared (the Epics main problem is not clearing ephemeris) you get an aGPS lock in seconds on GPS/aGPS only application like GPS status. But on application that can use either location method, the non GPS Use wireless networks" or the GPS, it often tries to get a wireless tower location first.

I get the identical affect by turning off the tower based system by keeping "Use wireless networks" normally off. this gives me instant aGPS locks five to ten seconds in proper conditions at all ties with cold start enabled.

Hi~

Sorry I'm not very good at English, I looked up "succession" in dictionary but still can't understand what does "trackball succession" mean, could anyone help please?

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomRampage:
It means your trackball will glow in different colors one after the other with multiple notifications rather than just getting one color over and over.

Example:

[Regular mode] You get a text message and an email at the same time = trackball glowing only blue. blue. blue. blue.

[Succession] You get a text message and an email at the same time = trackball glows blue for text, then red for email, then blue again, then red again, etc.

be careful, the new update kills 3rd party keyboards and also disables pattern and no screen lock options in security.

this update seems to take away more than it adds
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
None of what you said is true, nice scaremongering.

I have 2 third party keyboards installed and use pattern unlock on FRG83.

It does however break the one click root, you need to get a pre-rooted update.zip and install that really.

how???

how can I update from FRG33 ?
[Nexus One General] tekrhino:
I'm on CM6S with my Nexus, I'm not sure if this update is even worth it now that I've replaced the stock OS.

If it's true that it kills the 1-click-root app then it's not worth updating at all.
[Nexus One General] apratomo:
then how to root FRG83? can we use FRF91 superboot?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
You need to have an unlocked bootloader, or root access.

100% true, but as you're on CM6, it's not really relevant.

If bootloader unlocked, then easy, grab this and flash via custom recovery.

If not, then you need to look up the rageagainstthecage exploit.
[Nexus One General] apratomo:
awesome that flashing via recovery works, so glad I unlock :D

Like I said, either unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, install a root update.zip or use the rageagainstthecage exploit.
