[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tunppi:
Market itself isn't slow. Slowness is somehow from our devices. Downloaded today angry birds lite with my hd2 and GF's galaxy s and galaxy was ready under 1min when my hd2 took 20 minutes! (and then failed to install :) until did unmount trick)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] magnus48:
Yes we can!

Go to Settings -> Sd card -> Unmount

after Home -> Market
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
Slow market (but fast internet) problems could be caused by your Google account not being sync'ed properly to Market. Easy way to check (if you're in a country that offers paid apps) is to see if the "Top Paid" category exists in Apps/Games sections. If not, then you have market sync problems.

Only way to fix it is to 1) clear *all* Market data and cache (easiest to just delete /data/data/com.android.vending), 2) reboot, making sure that Market isn't running in the background when you do finish rebooting, 3) open up the dialer and type in *#*#2432546#*#* via the dialer keypad. If done properly, the entire line will disappear and after a few seconds a "Checkin Successful" notification should appear. 4) try logging into Market again... if you can see paid apps again, then problem fixed :)

If not, then try also deleting your Google account settings and re-signing in, then repeating the above steps again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
My downloads in the market via 3G or H are okay. I get about 2MB per minute. :)

But if I try to download something through WiFi it doesn't work anymore. It stucks at "Downloading...".

But the trick above from aussiebum did it a short time ago, as I had the same issue. Thanks :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
This really work! Download skype (8mb) and it took less than a minute. But phone reboot upon installation. Not rebooting but kick me back put to the blue android logo with thing flying around it. App didn't finished installing.

I went into cyanogenmod setting, application and change the application setting from auto to internal. After that, skype installed successfully then phone reload android logo again but skype works now. Will test other smaller app to see if this will strike again.

Thanks for the tip tho.

Update: just try pandora (1mb) and angry bird (11mb) and phone didn't restart. so size no issue here. Might be that skype install system file or something which cause the phone to reload/restart...idk...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maqsur:
Hi all, I just wanted to give a BIG thanks for the tip to unmount sd card. My d/l speeds in market went from 20-25 kb/sec to 300-400 kb/sec with 3g/H. With wifi, now is about 30-40 kb/sec consistent. Amazing tips!

I'm on T-Mobile USA, with bangsters 1.5 build (PPP), and my winmo rom is nrgz oct. 8 dinik cht. Radio 2.15.
[Epic 4G General] darth_vato:
Just wondering if the Epic can be used on MetroPCS like the Evo can. I recently sold my Captivate for an Evo, and I hate to say it, but I think I liked the Captivate more. Better screen and better processor is hard to downgrade from

If it's possible to flash the Epic to Metro, I would pick it up in a second.

I haven't found any search results on Google or here, so I figured there was no harm in asking.

Thanks in advance for any help or answers you might have.
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
From what I've read, slim to none. At least, if you plan to use the internet for anything besides web browsing with the stock browser (ie, forget anything that accesses the internet directly within an app).

The problems:

1. MetroPCS uses proxies for everything.

2. Android proxy support sucks. No, wait... that's not strong enough. Android proxy support sucks monkey balls. In theory, you might be able to build your own kernel that includes iptables support and use iptables with some handwritten helper apps to deal with them... but you'll basically be trailblazing virgin territory, and mostly on your own. Your phone is unlikely to ever work properly. Android's crude proxy support only (kind of) works with the built-in browser. This isn't kiddie stuff. This isn't even "L33t" stuff. If you're a true Linux God who works for Metro, chills with Linus once or twice a year, and has access to Metro's internal documentation (or possibly the guy who created Cyanogen, with a close friend who works for Metro), you MIGHT get it to work... eventually. Nobody less is likely to ever get an Epic to work properly on Metro.

3. Android depends on Sprint for things like network-based location service. Guess what isn't going to work on MetroPCS?

4. Did I mention that Metro is 1xRTT, and the one place where they have 4G (Las Vegas) uses LTE, which isn't compatible with the Epic?

Really, if you add up what it would cost to buy an unsubsidized Epic and 24 months of service with MetroPCS, and compare it to the cost of buying an Epic with a 24 month Sprint contract and 24 months of Sprint, it's insane to even contemplate trying to use the Epic with MetroPCS. The only reason to ever use a Sprint Android phone on Metro is if you have an old one that you'd just chuck into a drawer, and would rather give it to a needy friend or family member with MetroPCS. Buying Sprint's most expensive phone at full retail to use on Metro would be insane.

(By the way, I know this because I *was* going to give my old Hero to a needy friend with Metro).
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
If the evo can gain access then most likely the epic can. I'm just making this broad assumptions considering the run the same operating system with mostly all the same functions.
[Epic 4G General] arvinghost:
i heared of many people that were able to get the internet to work on the epic but i don't know exactly how :(
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
Lol you don't know how they got the internet to work, and you're using an internet based app... I'm guessing you're joking...
[Epic 4G General] yipwireless:
anybody know how to get the mms working?
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
On metropcs not on sprint... Read before you post please.
[Epic 4G General] yipwireless:
is the mms working?
[Epic 4G General] Khemul:
From what I remember when was with Metro (had a Touch Pro), Howard Forums are where a lot of their modding community hangs out. At least that was where all the work/discussion seemed to be going on back then. A simply google search should show the way.

The keys are internet & MMS. Internet tends to be the first thing to get unlocked, but without that MMS is hopeless. Even then MMS isn't always possible, depends a lot on the phone. In the past HTC phones were very easy to make fully function, with Samsung & LG phones being rather difficult. Also keep in mind that, as much as Metro used it as a marketing ploy, they really don't like the flashed phones ideas. They've already nearly disabled all flashed phones once by changing the passwords needed to access the web proxies.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
native sprint coverage only, no roaming.

for some this may be good, for others it may be a dealbreaker.

to make mms work, you need to simply alter the mmsc URL in the ##DATA# > MSL menu and change it from Sprint's to boost's ;)

changing the MMS url is easy for boost..same w/ making internet work... Samsung phones are CAKE to put on boost FWIW
[Epic 4G General] scooby dont:
epic 4g will only run 3g on metropcs

i have my epic 4g running on metropcs at 3g speed but i realy want to run at 4g lte speed i had my friend flash this phone for me but he said the metro 4g is a waste of time as it is not good i think there is no flash available yet for the 4glte

i am trying to find out i think the main problem is there is no routing table for metro pcs 4g lte any how if anyone knows how to modify the flash to get the 4g lte running please let me know thanks in advance i will copy my rom an post it later here if anyone wants it i will of course have to edit my log in and stuff but i am hopeing someone here already has figured out the solution

thanks again

scooby dont
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Uhhh...no. The Epic has no LTE capability. Only WiMax chipset.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
The epic doesn't have an lte radio, that's why it doesn't work.

If you got 3g working and mms, then its practically runnin as well as it could be on metro
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
You posted that on two different threads.
[Epic 4G General] errandwolfe:
Even if you could get all the 3G services working properly, you could never use it as a 4G phone on MetroPCS. Epic is WiMax, Metro is LTE.

Trust me, you want the 4G. Now this is my opinion only so take it for what it is worth. From what I have seen of the existing Metro 3G network it sucks plain and simple, not just for data, but voice services as well. I have tested out the 4G network a bit in South Florida though and am duly impressed. Speed was very good, and even though I don't believe 4G is used for voice services yet, the phone I saw still had much better call performance (most notably actually receiving incoming calls).
[Android Themes] closedchannel:
ive seen some different post on theme porting but i have yet to read one that i could actually understand fully. if someone could post a start to finish well written how to id really appreciate it.
[Android Themes] Daneshm90:
You can use theme-porter or other "theme-porting" scripts.

Most of them work u just gotta follow instructions and know ur way around adb.

Also the theme porting works best if the theme and the rom to which ur porting is similar (firmware wise)

Ok well is there some one willing to help walk me through it so I can learn or are there any youtube how to's?

Ladies and gentlemen,

Behold! Another new release in the development of TweetDeck!!

support.tweetdeck.com/home <---- their most recent post has a direct link to the .apk download =)

*as it says, make sure you delete all previous versions FIRST!*

They are really pushing out good betas, and so far every version I've had works very will with my phone!

[Samsung Captivate JH7 - Rooted - Sideloading - AT&T Bloatware Removed]

I currently operate 2 separate twitter accounts and my facebook account simultaneously... It doesn't get much better than this!

So far:

1) no crashes

2) have refresh on every 3 mins and it is NOT killing my battery!! =D

What's the experience of other users with this newest beta? Any issues with accounts/compatibility?

PS... I'm really quite impressed that they have had a beta out almost every week this past month or so. Not bad at all. Samsung, take note... :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hitchb:
I had a problem with the previous-previous version losing my Facebook connection but they fixed it in the v0.9.10 version. Other than that it's been a great little app for for keeping up with my networks. I like how they load twitpic, yfrog, and facebook images directly in the app rather than having to be shunted out to the browser.

Edit: I almost forgot my other gripe. They've only released the beta as an apk, so no installing from the market and no installing unless you can sideload. I guess I can see how you'd want to limit beta access to people who take the time to work on their phones, but it's also going to limit the total amount of feedback you might get from testers.

Cell phone Grip is totally fine.

But they made the neck(?) part with plastic so it loosen when u leave it in the car under the sun..

Have not opened the thing yet just incase I need to return it back to SGP (who has not returned my e-mail regarding the matter)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] pharaohdk:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nemethb:
I didn't think it was necessary to post on this but apparently I must.

Why not place it on your phone and see if it is the correct size?

The label could be wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Uss_Defiant:
As I mentioned,

Have not opened the thing yet just incase I need to return it back to SGP.

Perhaps I should have put it in size 20 font as apparently you could not see it.

SGP still has not responded back, what crappy customer service.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] thetaylor310:
They take a while to respond; ironic since I'm no more than 10 minutes from their American office in Los Angeles

You're already on FroYo, that much is easy to see. I'd imagine you're on 2.10.405.2 going by the radio, to check go to Settings>About phone>Software information

Can we get the program HTC Locations for our Touch HD?

I know the program is only seen in the soon to be out Desire HD and with the new Sense.

And I guess since this is an Android OS it will probably go in the way of Hero in turns of the Sense not really being available for the WM OS Touch HD, but is there a way to just get that one program for WM?

Hello,

[neoTouch S200 General] gerryjoson:
That's what auto dimming is supposed to do
[neoTouch S200 General] qsupply:
can set it that it is always bright?

when I'm turn off automatic it's still just as before.

strange...
[neoTouch S200 General] matll:
Yes you can set it by Parameters

2 methods :

in Manilla, the tab Parameters / Sound and Display / BackLight (at bottom). It open a new window BackLight, just uncheck the first checkbox (Adjust Backlight automatically) And below the values are normally set to Bright

with Windows Parameters (by Start / Parameters) or tab Parameters of Manilla then Menu at the bottom and Plus / System / BackLight. There is 3 tabs at the bottom, go to the third. Here you got 2 solutions, juste uncheck the second checkbox and set the slidder to max, or you can let the automatic backlight and set backlight higher than original with the button Advanced.

Try one of these methods.

Menus may not be called like I said, I havn't got a English Version, so I make a traduction as I think it should be.

Have Fun,

DLNA.

This function is new to me but not for the rest of the high tech world. I know

nobody yet have used this function on a DHD, but SGS users maybe know what to

expect. This thread mainly is gonna be about the functionality of the DLNA

function in the DHD.

- Suggestions on what TV/LCD/LED to get.

- Is the wireless streeming seemless.

- What options to change in the TV to get the function to work.

These and many more questions can be asked about DLNA.

This topic mainly is cuz i am going to buy that phone and any input is superb welcome, but this topic, yet has not been seen in the DHD General section.

Please, reply on what do you suggest and how do you se yourself using this function

on a daily bases.

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
true love lol
[Desire HD General] sub69:
If you have a PS3 connected to your home network, then you connect your SGS/DHD to your home network via WiFi and turn on the DLNA app.

You'll see your SGS/DHD appear in the Video and Music menus of the XMB (you may have to scan for media servers on the PS3). Then you can browse the media folders on your SGS/DHD using the XMB.

Select a file, and it'll start playing on your TV. Simple.

That's how it works on my old Omnia II. Can't imagine it'll be any different with current handsets.
