yea all the cases I bought have a cutout for that hole but theres no hole
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
possibly for the second microphone? some phones have a second mic for noise cancelation purposes.

How much can you zoom in with the digital camera? On the N1, it is 2x. On the Droid, you can zoom in 4x.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stryder5:
Regardless of how much you CAN zoom, you shouldn't. It's just digital zoom, which reduces the quality of the picture. If anything, do it through a photo editor yourself if you want because that can be undone while a digital zoom can't.
[G2 and Desire Z General] o>c:
It seems to be a custom/tradition for both the G1 and G2 to have no accessory hole!(ie the hole you can hook a cellphone chain on it)

I know having a chain with your phone may sound girlish to some

but its quite a let down that what can be found on cheaper phones does not appear on this badass machine:(

also the metal body of the G2 is vulnerable to ding and scratches, need to play safe and put on the rubber:eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
not sure if this is asked...but it there pinch to zoom in the gmail email client? I hate to say it but it is very useful when i use it on my itouch when checking emails. I read somewhere that the htc sense mail client has that feature.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sstair:
No zoom in gmail

There is no zoom in gmail, pinch or otherwise. You can set the size of the text in the settings, however.
[Touch Cruise General] whablow:
I have an O2 XDA smartphone, and I've busted the screen up. I need to get some stuff off the phone though. Problem is the phone is locked with a pass key, but because the screen is mashed I cant enter the pass to unlock. So when i connect up ActiveSync it wont let me connect......as the phone is locked.

I've got a new phone now, but I need to get some of the stuff off this old one, and dont really want to shell out on a new screen etc when I am going to throw it away!

Can anyone suggest how I can get the stuff off the phone??

Cheers

You can use the keyboard to enter the password.

[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
So I've been trying to figure out what app(s) has been causing my battery to drain quicker than normal because I noticed it draining quicker than when I first flashed the Bionix 1.3 rom. I found a program called PowerTutor that profiles and monitors your phone's power usage and allows you to see how much power is used by each app.

I quickly found that 2 apps were sucking up all the power. The OLED screen by itself uses about 400mw of power. I found that QuickDesk is using about 350mw and DRM Portected Content Storage is using 380mw of power.

I have uninstalled QuickDesk, but what the heck is DRM Protected Content Storage. Is this a necessary app that needs to run in the background or is it safe to kill or better yet, prevent from running at all?

Thanks

New Finding: So I killed the DRM Protected Content Storage with a task killer, but apparently it's still running in the background because it's still eating up the battery according to PowerTutor.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
If you kill it, your Avatar movie may stop working. It will also likely make the Media Hub app never work, should they ever enable it for us. I can't think of anything else DRM would do for/against us. Avatar is easy enough to replace if you want to with Handbrake and a copy of the movie in a non-DRM format, so give it a go I guess. I might try it just to save battery. I have AutoStarts, so I should be able to keep it from ever loading. I suspect if you kill it, it will just come back. :)
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
The problem is it looks like the program is still running after I've killed it with a task killer. It doesn't even show up as a running task, but it's apparently still using power. 390mw's at the moment.

I don't have Avatar anymore since I swapped out the SD card and didn't plan on putting it back on and I won't be using MediaHub.

Since this program alone accounts for 80% or more of the power usage among all my apps while the phone is idling, I just want to prevent it from running at all. It's rediculous for a program to be using almost as much power as the screen!
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
DRM Protected Content Storage is a native Android service. It's a background loop service that runs whenever the display is active to insure that content with DRM is allowed to run and display.

You are misinterpreting what this is doing, as is the Power Tutor application. It will *ALWAYS* show a power draw that is roughly equivalent to the displays power draw when the display is active because it runs as a subset of the display service.

Fire up an ancient G1 running Donut and you'll see the same behavior...
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
That's where something like AutoStarts comes in. It allows you to disable services that auto-start. :)

See the other post about why it shows up that way. Sounds like it's not a big issue and the app you're using to estimate power draw is wrong about it.
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
OK, in that case I'll let it keep running. Thanks for all the info.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
its safe to stop the drm content storage i did it havent noticed any bad things going on with my phone.. hopefully battery life gets better.. i stop sns, drm, and some other service that was running havent had any FCs or anything like that if battery life gets better ill definitely be happy
[Vibrant General] henreeg:
you can also freeze these process using Titanium Backup. This way, you won't delete them if you ever need to use them [DRM] and they won't be running in the background unnecessarily. Better battery life has been reported.
[Vibrant General] Rodriguez92:
sad to say battery life hasnt increased for me smh
[Vibrant General] Bronk93:
This is exactly what I did and have experienced bettery battery life with no ill side effects.
[Vibrant General] megamorphg:
Wrong About the Media

I am having the same issue and have found you're above theory is incorrect, according to my G1.

Cell standby: 69

Display: 12

wifi: 11

phone idle: 5

(weird stats, though wish i could have it on my overheating sgs2) :((

on my sgs2 screen is 37% while media is 25% (not close enough to be "rough" either)

anyway, where did you find out about this? (power draw of display = same because parent of set)

because i have tried disabling all the subsets of media and it doesnt change. so your idea might make sense to explain it..
[Vibrant General] guruleenyc:
Thanks! I did the same, next is 'download manager' which is draining me too....
[Vibrant General] krzych:
Do not take it personally, but it's the most stupid thing I've ever heard of.

DRM crap can only check/search for data streams, but not on the screen like you claim, as such would drain your battery much faster (probably in an hour or so) and would have to use internet databases or the data would fill you SD about what is to be protected and what not - as I assume you thought about "screen recognition of protected content" - so no, you are TOTALLY wrong. Those are simple certificate-like algorithms based on the digital data stored inside the movies/songs etc.

And I'm going to freeze this crappy DRM too, as I have no movies/audio to be checked at all, all free stuff, so it's of no use to me ever.

I'll keep you posted what it did on my DHD Sense based Android. And I suppose it won't do anything.

PS. Most of the DRM drain is caused when you mount/unmount SD card as this crap scans for files.
[Vibrant General] CoolApps:
What DRM Protected Content basically does is prevent a user from viewing, converting and copying the copyright illegally downloaded content.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] c.shah@quipment.nl:
I need to set Callback function for New Contact added to Device on Windows Mobile.

I want to get notification when someone adds contacts to mobile device. I am using VS 2008 with C#.

The Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.ContactCollection has a ListChanged event. But, that will be called only when Contact is added programatically. I want to get notification even if Contact is added directly in Outlook (from device) outside of my application. I have found one useful link (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms862902.aspx) but that is in unmanaged code. I don't know how to use it in C#. Can you help me to call it from C#? Kind of creating wrapper?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Obelix_A:
Hi!

Doing that in C# is not that easy...

You need a c++ lib for the POOM notification and with help of it you can register to the events (outside your software)

Either you search the internet for PoomNotificationHelper by Chris Tacke and try to manage it on your own, or you drop me a PM with your private email address and I can support you...

Have a look at that software, it's my caledar app and uses the libs...

regards

[Touch 3G General] Anghelos:
Hi everyone,

i bought some days ago a HTC clone which appear to be a T3232 (but i'm not sure due to my inexpertize, u can check here btw dealextreme[dot]com/details.dx/sku.25045 ) with win mobile 6.1, i'd like to change the OS to 6.5, so i was looking for infos... according with the forum of that site, seems that ppl was able to flash his rom, and after some research i found this site.

Now, i'm very noob about that stuff, so before proceed, i need that some expert check my following steps, and correct them when wrong:

Reading some noobies how-to and guides, seems that i have to:

1) download the Hard-SPL here for let my rom be 'flashed' showthread.php?t=483465

2) download the exact ROM for my model, i found this: showthread.php?t=554874 is a bit old but seems working fine, is it ok? or can u suggest other roms? (since i'm italian i would appreciate more an italian language pack :D) I also found this but i don't think is featured for my phone showthread.php?t=713809 did it?

3) how can i see the screen with boot infos (i tryed to push switch off the cellph. push the volume down and turn on holding the volume down, but doesn't work)

4) is there something else i should know?

PS: since i can't post links, i only put the thread "id" for the refered links inside the forum

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Greetings,

I also have a supersonic. I spent quite some time reading all the related threads, and

the info provided on Unrevoked's wiki(s). There have been several posts indicating that

It does work on the latest OTA (YMMV). I haven't (yet) fetched the latest OTA, but I did

root mine with Unrevoked 3.21, and I was using the most recent version

just prior to the latest OTA. I am happy to report, it couldn't have possibly been

easier, and everything still works as well, as it did prior. In fact, I'd say it works better,

as I now have some better boot/recovery options not previously available. :)

I might also note, there were several posts confirming that applying the latest

OTA after rooting with Unrevoked 3.21 were all successful.

HTH

[Droid X General] m3n00b:
I know this has probably been asked before...but I'm a noob and couldn't find anything in the search.

I've rooted my Froyo X using doroot just for the wifi tethering. I want to know what other uses there are for a rooted phone.

Can I change the notifications so they're unique to the event? I get the same sound for a text and when I plug in the cable.
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
First check out the

Droid X Wiki

for some nice guides and info on what you can do with your newly unlocked device.

And to answer your last question... you can do that without being rooted. Just go into any app that sends you notifications.. and in the settings of THAT app... you can change which notification sound it plays when that particular app notifies you.
[Droid X General] m3n00b:
Oh cool. Thanks for the info and the n00b guide. I just got the X a couple of days ago and came from an omnia winmo6.1 so this is all new to me. I fkn love this phone/interface so much more intuitive.

Does anyone know if there are more TV apps like TV.com?

I still have it, because I cant let it go
[Droid X General] m3n00b:
Sorry...I mean it worked in the sense that you can make calls, but texting was a chore and navigating through contacts, making appointments was next to impossible without the stylus...which I promply lost after getting my 910.

Ok, I have to give you that. The default WM 6.1 was a HUGE pain

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdaNonDeveloper:
So I purchased titanium back up cause I planned on experimenting.. I wanted to see if I could delete stock apps then restore them back to normal. The back up worked but the restore file isn't in apk. format where I found it. I deleted quadrapop nothing to die over but can some one explain how titanium works? does it only back up data and if so why is there an app backup option. Oh and how can I get quadrapop apk. My kid brother is gonna kill me. Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelahp:
I don't know how you will get the game back but instead of deleting them you have the option to freeze them. I do this when i'm not sure if deleting will poo up the phone. It's easy to un freeze the apps (defrost !) But i've never seen the option to have apps back once you've uninstalled them.

You could run the phone through seus of course and put the phone back to it's original state :)

Hey all,

So awhile back I "froze" most of the bloatware (they were highlighted with a blue background)

Recently I tried to "defrost" them (returned to black background) and I checked my app drawer and sure enough the were all there...

However, after turning my phone off, and back on... they are now all MISSING from my app drawer! To make matters worse, they all have the black background so I don't know which apps I am missing.

This happens consistently, I can re-freeze and re-defrost all the apps and they will appear in my app drawer, until I turn my phone off.. then the go missing again..

ANY THOUGHTS?

THANKS!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpk0875:
When u uninstall stock apps like quadrapop you can only get them back by putting the apk file into the phone mem and installing from there. In the android dev section theres a thread where someone posted a zip file with all the stock system apps you can download.

Once you have the apk u want u need a file manager with super user grant like root explorer or android mate, use it to put the apk file in phone mem in system/app and install it from there

I'm pretty new to titanium backup as well and this is how I got back calendar back, good luck

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
I'm guessing not, as the X10mini/pro headset has extra connectors on the side (hence the keyhole shaped earphone socket)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] booshankly:
If you can try before you buy that would be your best bet. Ive tried many that wont play sound out of the headphones much less use the mics. It seems like A LOT of headphones especially ones with mics don't work with the phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] purpurefox:
I bought headset from mytrendyphone.co.uk. I bought Jabra BT3030 and its really a best buy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
It all depends on the wiring standard thats used on the TRRS mini jack..

I think this is how it is on the X10 (and also iPhone, HTC, Blackberry etc..)

1	Tip	Left Audio Out

2	Ring 1	Right Audio Out

3	Ring 2	Ground

4	Sleeve	Microphone Input\answer button

I know Nokia have pin 3 and 4 swapped around so wont work with the X10, and there may be more out there but I think most are trying to standardise to the above setup.. so you shouldn´t have too much trouble finding a headset to work with the X10 (just stay away from Nokia)

(the extra bits next to the mini plug are just for powering the SE portable speakers and other SE crap you will be able to buy.. nothing to do with headsets) :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
It doesn´t. The original SE headset that came with my X10 mini pro has absolutely normal connector (despite the fact that the socket on the X10 mini pro is keyhole shaped), and no functionality is lost.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
Ahh, ok then. The headset that came with my X10mini (MH810) has the extra connectors, but also has an inline control (play/pause, next, prev, vol +/-), so perhaps the extra connectors drive those
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Does anyone know a good headset like the MH810 that has music control and mic but also with removable headphones (normal mini jack)? would be nice to use over ear headphones in winter..
