i don't quite have it yet, it would certainly hurt my chances of getting the phone, but i honestly don't think that HTC would falsely advertise their device just to allow them some anti-hacking BS, it gets tedious trying to break each phone and it only takes time to break it down.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
why would dual partion stop us? We will just have to flash both :P

and if that is true then it would make the phone great for the noobs because that mess up in the system all they gotta do is reboot :P

but never say never they said that about the ps3 an look now. Anything can be cracked with enough time

Any software out there that can do this simple task? Anything at all?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Loads of ways to backup contacts.

PIMbackup is a free one developed here on XDA.

SPB backup can be used in custom backup for contact backup.

TBExport can be used to export to standard formats for import into many things.

My favourite is Contacts Backup which includes a PC viewer & editor app & also can save to standard formats for import into almost anything needed.

few more leads here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4730540

WM has solutions to almost all basic tasks, for sure Microsoft done a poor job on the syncing but the users & XDA fixed most of it.

Don't expect Android to be perfect either, spend more time learning WM6.5.x as is a great tool
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Looking Glass:
Dirt cheap way:

Copy the "pim" file on the root directory of your PDA to anywhere (microSD, your PC.... you name it) and put it on a safe place.

To restore: just rename your current pim file on your PDA to anything else (say pimold)

Soft-RESET

Copy your safely stored pim file back to the root directory of your PDA (BEFORE opening any pim related program, it's, just after a soft reset of your machine)

ALL your pim data is back in place, just where you saved them.

REMEMBER: ALL pim data is saved, no incremental backup, etc, just an "dirt old way" backup/restore with the added advantage that NO external program is needed.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

Hello guys, I've just benched my Captivate after installing the leaked Froyo rom and I'm quite disappointed to say the least....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ntdb:
This has really been beaten to death. Quadrant and Linpack are geared towards Snapdragon.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alphadog00:
I agree, and in the end who cares?

If my phone runs fast, runs all apps fast, and does everything i want it to do; then i really don't care what the benchmark says.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gtg465x:
The Droid X is only faster in Quadrant because it doesn't use Samsung's crappy RFS filesystem, but that's easy for us to fix with lagfixes. The Nexus is only faster because the JIT is optimized specifically for Snapdragon processors and these benchmark programs favor Snapdragon processors as well. With a lag fix our phones are the fastest thing out there. Don't get too caught up in synthetic benchmarks.

Hi everyone

I just managed to boot android onto my HD2 and I'm loving it!

Question though: when i install applications from the android market, where do they get stored/installed? Is it in the SD card? Or on the flash memory of the phone... I couldn't seem to find a directory on my sd card that had all the applications I downloaded...

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
they will get stored in the data file unless it needs some external access and then it will create a folder on the sd card
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mark_ol:
oh, do you mean that 1GB data.img file?

so it basically does just stay on the SD card then right?

i installed quite a bit of applications, but the data.img file still seems to stay at the same size..?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sylau90:
Yes, exactly. everything will be stored in the 1GB data.img. Unless you download additional stuffs through or within the application, then the application will create a new folder to store them.

To conclude, everything will be stored in your SD card.

[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
So recently I noticed that my launch day epic seems to have a cheap speaker sound to it, not the external speaker but just the regular speaker you use when talking to someone. It almost sounds like the speaker is buzzing/vibrating. Is everyones speaker like that or do i need to bring my phone in to get replaced?
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:

[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:

[Epic 4G General] entropism:
Mine gets pretty bad as far as static/crackling goes if I turn it up more than halfway. Going to have to experiment further, as it only gets pronounced when I'm on the phone with certain people
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
My friend has a brand new epic and i messed around with it last night, putting both phones at the same volume level and hers sounds perfect, where mine not so much. Guess i'm going to bring it in on monday and hopefully they will swap it out for a new one. I got it on launch day so its already past the 30 days, but do they already have spare parts to fix just the speaker?
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
no problems here.
[Epic 4G General] tim.d:
Both the earphone and speaker phone on mine have a VERY tinny sound to them. I bought mine through BB, can I still swing by a spring store to exchange? Bought mine 4 days ago..
[Epic 4G General] FoxRacR17:
Well I was planning on bringing mine in tomorrow to get fixed/replaced but now the speaker is sounding great?! I dont know what to do really, i guess i will just wait until it sounds like crap all the time. When i turn it up more then half way it does sound tinny, but at least now it doesnt sound tinny even at the lowest volume
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
Mine started doing that. I took it to a repair center and they swapped the speaker. Now all is well, and the Epic sounds perfect again.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriot1973:
I don't know if this was just a concern with the Mytouch 3G that I came from, but if we were to underclock lower than 245 then it was too low/slow for the phone and would create problems with waking, handling incoming calls/SMS, etc. I've seen a lot of you post saying to drop it to 100. To me that's extremely low and not suitable. I have mine at 800 max when on, 384 when screen is off. Even at that, it seems a bit sluggish coming out of sleep, but not anything noticeable when calls/sms come in because in less than 2 seconds it's back to flying.

So my question is, is 100 realistic/adviseable? I think nothing lower than 384 is better for these phones. YMMV.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubernewb:
^^ agreed.. i tried setting mine to 100 when sleeping, but when i got a phone call the phone went r-tarded.. there were a few times when the phone took so long that i missed half the calls.. not to mention what it would do if i was listening to pandora.

i changed it to 400 and the issues went away
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.

I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.

Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.

What are your thoughts?
[Captivate General] gtg465x:

[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:

[Captivate General] Colton5419:

[Captivate General] Sqdnguns:
No issues for me, trim your ear hairs............. ;)
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter :p

Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:

Here is a picture I just took:
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.

Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
I picked up my new car yesterday (Seat Ibiza) only to find that my N1 will not pair with the installed bluetooth handsfree system. I can find the kit when searching for bluetooth devices (picks up as Seat_BT with a headphones symbol alongside) however selecting the 'pair & connect' option results in a messagebox stating "There was a problem pairing with Seat_BT" - no PIN code is requested.

I've tested the car with other devices (laptop, other phone) and the pairing is successful.

I've checked the compatibility listing with Seat and they list (from Dec 2009) the Hero and Magic as compatible (as at Android v1.5). I've also seen posts in Seat forums indicating that the HTC Desire pairs successfully with the Ibiza handsfree option.

My N1 is stock, unbranded running 2.2.1.

Can anyone here give me some insight into the differences in the bluetooth stacks / known issues with N1 bluetooth that may help me resolve this?

Is there a way of logging bluetooth pairing requests that will help me find the root cause of this issue?

TIA
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
I've resolved my own problem, so here's the approach for anyone else..

To pair the Seat kit with a Nexus One you need to do the following:

1. Find an app on the Android Market called "Bluetooth File Transfer" by Medieval Software

2. Install

3. Using the app (on the 'Remote Devices tab) initiate the pairing with the car

4. You will get the PIN prompt - enter the 1234 PIN

5. Once paired the app will begin transfering something (I think it's call history but not sure).

It will then report an error - don't worry about that.

6. Shutdown the app and uninstall it (it is no longer required).

7. Reboot the N1 (to clear out any remaining dregs of the app).

8. Phone should then connect and disconnect using the standard bluetooth functionality.

Not sure why this works, perhaps the app extends the default bluetooth stack, resolving the issue that prevents the prompt for the pair passkey.

I've not fully checked the level of functionality available, but I can definitely initiate a call to the last dialled number and answer incoming calls.
[Captivate General] The Bishop:
I haven't seen any threads relating to bricking since the JH7, so I'm thinking that the 'tried and true' other ways to get into download mode no longer work (or that trying to go to Froyo erased the part of my phone that has the download mode or something?)

In any event, tried the "How to unbrick the totally bricked Captivate" thread to no avail, and many other ways. I see a thread in Q&A about this from someone else too.

Are there any post-JH7 threads I'm missing where the method to get into download mode when it gives the evil phone =/= pc screen as soon as you do the 2 or 3 button fix?

The suggested value/settings I have been reading is to set the minimum at 200, this seems to work great for most people, also try no profiles enabled.

These settings work great on my phone. I've read a lot of people are having issues using 100 as the minimum. Most issues seemed to be fixed by raising the Minimum value to 200.

If this doesn't work, you might have a phone that just will not overclock.

You also might read up about JAC XMOD OC/UV 1.1 The new version released today ups the voltage slightly at 1.2 OC to help those who are having trouble over clocking.

Good luck

The JAC XMOD OC/UV stands for over clock under volt. The under volt is to help increase battery life.
