Haha, i'm the opposite. I have a 850Mhz (Telstra) Nexus One and use it on the 3/Vodaphone network. This means that I have to use Telsta's network when roaming. Annoying and expensive.

Maybe we should do a swapsie.

I dont know about the others but the best Skype solution atm is Nimbuzz which also has its own VOIP service. It has a delay during calls but there arent any other better options other than the complicated SIP routing.

Titanium Backup does its job even if you move from other custom roms or other firmware. Its wonderful and its worth the price for the additional batch backup/restore options
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Hi... I moved from a Samsung Omnia i910 withWM 6.1pro.

The BIGGEST thing I miss from wm over android 2.1 eclair (I have not flashed any unofficial 2.2 roms) is something as simple as installing apps to the external sd card.

I know some apps on wm 6.1 were forced to install directly to the phone memory but with MOST apps you had the option to place on the external card to save ROM space.

It suprises me that such a sophisticated device as the SGS and such a powerful OS such is Android did not come out of the box this way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Blame google and android pre2.1 , Froyo is said to be able to install to SD but frankly I've yet had need. Also what do you expect? Winmo has been out for what, 10 years or more? Android has only really started to take hold in last 3 years.

Boy I'm really enjoying Android. It's fast and clean like the good old Palm and still has all the capabilities of Windows Mobile.

I've been a handheld user since the very first Palm Professional and so far I've had only three killing devices:

1) Palm Professional - the good old one (still at home as a remote control hehe)

2) Palm Treo - I still miss the fun with that keyboard.

3) Samsung Galaxy "S" - loving it all the way. Android, great screen, swype etc etc....

[General Questions and Answers] Gibbsinator:
Ok, so my phone is a rooted Droid 2, and all my root required apps seem to be working fine. Well, I wanted to try some new roms, and most definitely backup my phone. So I start Rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, it tells me that was successful, then I try to backup current ROM, and it restarts my phone, and it loads up like nothing has changed. I go to Manage and restore current backups, and there is nothing there. If it makes a difference, the little loading swirl at the bottom is basically always there.

I'm quite confused, I thought this was a straight forward application, but it just seems not to be doing anything. Any help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] moonpiedave:
I'm afraid I won't be much help but the exact same thing happened with my rooted Captivate. According to what I've read on CyanogenMod.com, when you flash Clockwork, it's supposed to put you in recovery. Mine didn't do that, but in ROM Manager, it lists Clockwork as my current recovery. I also tried to backup my current ROM and it did go into recovery and then rebooted and I had the same result as you. I read that you can't flash Clockwork on Froyo and if that's true, it's going to be a pain in the butt to flash back to Eclair, flash Clockwork, reflash Froyo, then try to install Cyanogen. I'm hoping someone will tell me there's either a Clockwork for Froyo or an easier way to do this.
[General Questions and Answers] killall:

Ok, this might be a dumb question but i'm a G1 noob so forgive me!

I have a 1.6 G1 which I have rooted and I can get a serial using adb so I guess i am just about set to flash it, the Q is, what do i gain from flashing it, it the newer android much better & does it unlock the phone?

thanks

Jon
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjaynee:
i'm not sure if my answer is most accurate or correct, but i think flashing allows your to have custom ROMs fitted for your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
If you consider Froyo and upgrade from Donut, then yes, you'll get the new android and much better.

It will not unlock the phone, you'll still need to buy an unlock code.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsxf711:
thanks for the reply,

So if i want Froyo then do I need to flash Donut 1st then? Is it right that once I have done that i can store apps onto the sd card as well?

The unlock part was a side q as I wondered if it was like my old xda's. not too worried tho as i have a ghost sim which does the job at a fraction of the cost:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
You do not need to flash Donut first, you just need to follow the instructions provided by the ROM developer, they are all a little bit different. ROMs since Android 1.0 have been able to store apps onto the SD card, it just depends what ROM you have. But yes, you will get Apps to SD on Froyo.

Just bear in mind that the G1's hardware is limited compared to today's standards, Froyo will not run as fast as 1.6 does.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
I was looking at the Sheinheil full body shield. From their web site it appears to be of the military grade stuff that everybody else uses. I also noticed that they don't use liquid to apply it. It seems similar to the dry apply that bodyguardz now has available. I wanted to know if anybody is using the the full body shield did it make the phone feel too slick in your hand?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
the screen is a hard plastic but yeah the full looks like the Zagg

not sure cause i have only used the screen protectors.. both are good.

to be honest. dont waste your money on the full.... from what i have seen when i got a full kit for my TP2 the sides are always a pain to install and the back can be replaced easy, its just a cover.

i have a sedio active and the rugged... both are good and i changed them from time to time...

the actice doesnt add to much bulk to the phone and i can use it with the active holster...

the otter box one looks good too but no holster.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
Yep I am only going to get the screen protector since I will have an extended battery. I may go ahead and order the bodyguardz dry apply and try it. I have liked the previous bodyguardz products.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cabrone1:
I love my steinheil. It is smooth, not all textured, and almost invisible... Install was a breeze, too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Globetrahter:
Same Here, I like the hard screen on the front of the phone, but I used the back piece for awhile and didnt like it, its seems like it didnt cover the whole back and I felt it on the edges.

The other pieces were too complicated (for me atleast) to put on so I skipped it all together.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
Do you know if you can still put the innocase on with this screen protector on or will it cause the screen protector to come off?
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I'm sure you can fit the phone with the full body shield into a seidio case.... the more you take the phone out of the innocase the more chance you have of the full body shield peeling off.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
if you are using the innocase i wouldnt worry about the full kit.. i have used both the anti-fingerprint and now the clear and both are great..

i have the sedio rugged which uses the innocase and i have no problems.. the only thing i would suggest is to be careful when you slide each piece of the case cause you can rub against the protector.. you kinda have to push each piece up a little to go over the protector.. .not sure if that makes sense but im sure you will notice it when you put it on.

i have tried all kinda of protectors and this IMO is one of the best... Clarivue is on the top too but i only tried the privacy...

i will use only those 2 endless i run into something better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
I got my SGP protectors in today. It was easy to install and it does look clear. I am waiting to see if I should be concerned about the bottom corners(the last part that touched the screen). There is air under each corner and I can push it out but after the pressure is gone, the air comes back. As long as it doesn't peel it isn't in the way.

Also I forgot to ask. How do you clean it off? Can you use a glass cleaner or maybe the solution that came with my bodyguardz protector for my hero?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
the corners can do that a little bit but it depends how well you cleaned the screen before you put it on... just keep adding pressure to the outside... pushing the air out... mine is perfect.

i just use my tshirt to clean it.. nothing else.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
I haven't heard back from SGP yet but this appears to be the same "self-healing" military grade material that is used by the makers of other shields. I did contact NLU and they said the bodyguardz dry apply is the same material so I am betting this is as well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] BlackJin10dan:
I believe the directions state a damp cloth. Seems to work well for me. The protector is not glass, just clear like glass. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] BlackJin10dan:

I used Sprite backup for my contacts, messages, bookmarks etc. However, when I restored, the bookmarks didn;t take in the web browser (Using Cognition 2.2 BETA). No biggie. But when I use Folder Organizer, they show up there. Now this isn't a problem, except for the fact that I can't seem to delete any of them.

Can anyone tell me where Folder Organizer gets the info for displaying these bookmarks so that maybe I can delete that and start over?

EDIT: Now it looks like I can't even add new bookmarks within the browser...grr... Well, it seems I can add NEW bookmarks, but if it's a book mark that I had before (one that Folder Organizer is showing) it won't add.

EDIT: I solved it by downloading Bookmark Organizer from the Market.

i still dont know what s-off is. I agree this is the right section which is why i dont understand your getting a sarcastic answer from evohack.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fechina:
Ok, I found something...

The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted.

I guess this process is a part of the Unrevoked 3.21...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
No. It is an ADDITIONAL process. While not required, it is often recommended.

See Unrevoked's website for the definitive answer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debugguy:
fechina , I think it is an ADDITIONAL step using unrevoked forever, been a while since I did this and the code has changed, review the "more" option after selecting unrevoked forever at there website and it will fill in the blanks. Your definition/understanding is right on. The point, I think you need to flash unrevoked forever to have nand-off, but verify and understand the process before you do it. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Correct debugguy, it IS an ADDITIONAL process. In fact, this was the route I took

to root my supersonic; Unrevoked 3.21 > Unrevoked forever.

I can state that after recently rooting my phone via Unrevoked 3.21, the

process went as intended & w/o error. But when completed && rebooted to the

newly rooted phone, S-OFF was not implemented. So I downloaded & installed

Unrevoked forever. Now S-OFF is implemented. :)

--Chris
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
From what I read before I rooted.

S-Off prevents the rom from reverting back to the original data every time you reboot.

It also lets you flash custom roms.

UnrEVOked 3.21 sets it to S-Off, but unrEVOked forever will make S-Off permanent.

Permanent... as in safe to update using OTA's.

If you aren't unrEVOked forever an OTA can actually remove the S-Off flag and prevent you from re-rooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Yes.

Unrevoked 3.21 = S-OFF && r/w long enough to rewrite your ROM with the one provided in Unrevoked 3.21

Unrevoked forever = S-OFF forever

It's all at their website and in numerous threads in these forums. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fechina:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daystrom:
This is the line I don't understand. If you don't run Forever and an OTA removes the S-OFF flag, why couldn't you just re-run Unrevoked again to gain root access?

Is it because a new OTA could block Unrevoked?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Unrevoked exploits a vulnerability to "root" the phone.

So, an OTA could patch that vulnerability and you would have to wait for another exploit to be found in order to regain S-Off and root again.

Ex. When OTA froyo came out unrevoked would not work since htc fixed the vulnerability used in rooting 2.1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daystrom:
Cool, thanks for that good info.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daystrom:
One more question -

Many are saying that you have to run Forever AFTER you have installed 3.21.

HOWEVER when you run 3.21 and click File, there is an option that is checked that says "Disable security on Phone".

When you select this a prompt comes up saying "unrEVOked Forever will not be installed".

When you select it again to enable it a prompt comes up saying "unrEVOked Forever will be installed to disable device security.".

To me this sounds like Forever IS installed with 3.21.

No?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
I've actually wondered the same thing, since after rooting with 3.21 it is set to S-Off.

I wanted to be safe so I still flashed unrevoked forever.

It's a flashable zip so it's not hard to do and it take only a few seconds.

Better safe then without root, imo.

To which he responds that based on your symptoms that is indeed the problem.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] azzarati:
hey guys.. ive tried looking for this information but cant find it any where.. i currently have HTC desire and still have the 14 days to return the phone.. im thinking of goin with a Milestone because of the qwerty keyboard.. onscreen really isnt working for me.. i had a few questions:

1. Is it possible to flash another rom on the telus milestone (froyo most likely).. I have looked around for this.. some say u can some say u cant im really confused.. apparently its locked so u only put a ROM on top of the stock?? if that is the case then would it not be bogged down by the stock rom on there still?

2. If you can reflash or whatever its called to froyo.. would i lose warranty? i have the phone replacement with best buy.. would that be gone? and if yes, is there a way to go back to the stock rom so they would never know? i read somewhere that a telus stock rom doesnt exist.. so im not sure

3. i read somewhere that you cant manually link your phone and google contacts to facebook contacts.. is this true? because in my desire its very easy to do so.

4. why does everyone want to unlock 3g on telus phones? isnt the milestone already on the new hspa network??

5. (optional) is it a good idea to with the milestone over desire? i know opinions may be biased cuz its a milestone forum but just thought id ask.. im iffy about the lower cpu speed and half the ram.

thank you in advance for your help.. and sorry if i posted in the wrong section
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] xslntx:
The only bit of the software left stock is the kernel. There won't be any noticeable decrease in free space when you flash a custom "rom". You just won't gain the performance benefits of a completely optimized kernel, which people are trying to work around.

Technically you do lose your warranty, but it's easy to return to your stock firmware. There's a thread stickied in this forum for this very purpose.

The Facebook for Android application can do this for you.

I believe what you're referring to is when people with Telus milestones flash "roms" from different parts of the world. Usually it disables the frequencies needed for 3G in North America.

They're both great devices. The Milestone has the disadvantage of being locked down ridiculously tight by Motorola, but it's really up to preference. I'm going to make the assumption that you're not crazy about customizing your phone, in which case, you probably won't notice much difference. ROM availability is far superior for the Desire, though, due to it's unlocked bootloader. If a QWERTY keyboard is something you like, then the choice is pretty clear.

Lastly, this is the wrong section, lol.
