The only thing useful you can do with it is sell it to somebody in the US (or maybe Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Canada, or another country that uses CDMA). Italy is 100% GSM. Europe is 99.9% GSM (100%, if you don't count any country that used to be part of what was formerly known as "Eastern Europe").

If you have any friends or family members in the US, send the phone to THEM, and have THEM sell it on eBay. As a practical matter, most Americans will be nervous about buying an Epic/Evo from someone in Europe, just because an Epic/Evo *is* so completely useless in Europe, they'll assume it was stolen, or was bought from someone in the US who owed Sprint a lot of money and got the phone's ESN blacklisted (if you owe Sprint money, they'll refuse to activate your old phone for anyone who buys it; because Sprint phones mostly work only on Sprint, and only Sprint phones work on Sprint, it makes their bill-collection effort more efficient).
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Sell it. You would be better off with a G2 from T-Mobile for GSM compatibility.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugokind:
ok

I see..

thanks to everybody for the informations..

i'll sell it asap..

sigh.. I'm sad.. auuuuu

bye
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugokind:
stolen? I hope not!!

so in that case I lost my money 2 times!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bitbang3r:
If you can find Sprint's non-800 number, you can ask them to do an "ESN Check" and they'll tell you whether or not the phone is clean & can be activated.

Worst-case, if Sprint can't/won't activate the phone, you're now the owner of a very expensive wi-fi Android tablet with a small screen. The good news is that, unlike windows mobile devices, it's still useful even if you never activate it as a phone.

Alternatively, as long as you have the MSL code (you DID get the MSL code, right? That's the code that unlocks the phone), you can sell it to someone who's in a country with CDMA besides the US, Mexico, or Canada (Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore are probably the easiest ones) for $250 and use the money to buy a high-end Android tablet from China. You'll take a loss compared to what you paid for it, but you'll ultimately end up with a better Android tablet to play with.

Hi forum.

Ok be honest.

I am doing the same thing too, felt like an addict. I check at least 4 times a day even though I know there's not going to be much happening anytime soon. From what I see so far lots of effort have spent but only a few progress. Even if they manage to find ways to modify the spl and mcpu there's still a lot more to handle until we can load our own rom. But again, I still check no matter what.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sewez:

I just rooted my Froyo Desire and I want to uninstall Facebook, Friend Stream, Twitter.

I am using Titanium Backup to uninstall.

But everytime I uninstall, the phone reboots.

Any suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You can't uninstall them that way, you need a custom ROM with them removed (but you might go into a constant sync loop if you do on a Sense-based ROM)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owh786:
ok, thanks for the reply.

would you be able to direct me to the best custom rom out there?

i'm new to this stuff, i think i flukely rooted my desire (SLCD). lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
No one can say what the 'best' ROM is as it's subjective. I don't even use a custom ROM any more as I've no issues with the stock ROM.

If you want to try one without Sense then look at OpenDesire - it's compiled from source specifically for the Desire as opposed to being ported from the Nexus One
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owh786:
ok cool, thanks will try that see how it goes
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philje123:
I managed to uninstall them just by using root explorer (with the s-off mod of course) and they have gone and no boot loop problems etc.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yes if you have made the s-off hack you should be able to uninstall using titanium. But some stock apps are used for sync as mentioned.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owh786:
OK, i see what the problem now is, I have S-ON.

I just reflashed (or whatever its called) and this time turned S-OFF in the Unrevoked settings, but when i boot the phone to see if it has changed, it is still on S-ON!!! What Gives?????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzmay:
You need to use alpharev for S-OFF. It is quite safe and fast.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ik Desire:
If you flash a custom Rom, you can delete some apk files from the Rom zip file, and some afterwards using adb. Not everything is save, some things are best removed using one method. You should check on the developers forum or site. The sense-based Leedroid Rom has a good documentation concerning this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
You can just remove them using adb whilst in Recovery.

How can I add the Apps2SD/Apps2SD+ function on my Desire???
[General Topics] trevorjdaniel:
Hello,

Bit of background...

I built and run taxiroute which is a taxi fare calculator for the UK.

It's been up and running as a website only since 2008 and will hit £13m of enquiries this year.

The problem is that it only currently exists as a website and I think it would get much more traffic if I could get mobile versions of it launched.

To enable the mobile apps to plug into my system I have written a fully functional SOAP/XML Webservice which contains all the business logic for the system. This means that the mobile apps will have very little code in them as all they have to do is call my webservice.

So, with my API under my arm I started to approach a couple of mobile development companies with a view of getting the apps built.

I managed to find a development company in London who appear pretty unique as they have custom software which enables them to write the app once and port it across to all the other platforms. Which sounds perfect.

My problem is getting my head around the price they are asking for the development of the apps. They are asking for about £18k.

The work I see them having to do is the following:

1. Develop the design of the screens and graphics.

2. Develop the screens to talk to my API.

3. Get the application into the app stores for each platform.

To me, it appears a little excessive and I was looking for opinions really?

I love the idea of getting the one company to do all the development but I cannot seem to work out how they think it's going to be 36 days work, guessing that they charge £500 a day for developers etc...

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Trev
[General Topics] stephj:
Looks like you have already done the main graft getting the webservice to work.

In .NET CF use an XmlTextReader class to go get it.

Substitute "here" and "there" with the real values your service expects.

XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader("http://www.yoursite.com/yourservice.xml?from=here&to=there");

xtr.Read();

// Until you get to the return value line(s) when xtr.Name will contain the result.
// Do with it what you will.........

xtr.Close();
[General Topics] trevorjdaniel:
hopefully so. even written my own windows mobile version to double check functionality. looks crap but works perfect.

why we still not have working FM Radio under Android/Froyo on Polaris?

Why not we?

Do we have other chip responsible for FM radio?

Which? (can not find model/name too)

Could somebody from gurus explain what we need for it?

Missed files? Patched kernel?

(and please don't offer to use any internet radio instead: I know I may do it)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] meknb:
I think its BRF6350 is the chip we are using for bluetooth and the fm radio (same chip) ,cant think what firmware we use brf6350.bin or brf6300.bin.

Also we'd have to sort the antenna out as the bluetooth uses internal and radio use's external (headphone's).

Use titanium backup to remove it. Or use the custom update.zip tool to create a startup script that will delete launcher pro, and replace with it with the new apk.

I have a script I can share with you that does that plus a few other things, just flash in recovery

[Legend General] PandaVoyageur:
Hmm... Just seeing the list of permissions it requires confirms I'll stay away from this one as I did from the PC version.

Oh well I lived without it so far without any problem, this won't change ;)

edit: and for a 2.1 stock legend, that's also a pretty big app to install!
[Legend General] AllWin:
Gtalk is a stock app on Android. Or i'm missing your point?

Tested Skype for few mins, seems to work fine. Great sound quality, but... It's so heavyweight and there is no option to shut it down COMPLETELY. Lastly, my phone went offline (which newer happened before) so i just uninstalled it and already forgot. Bloatware.

[Nexus One General] steve.garon:
With FRF91 I had 35MB of spare space on the application partition. After upgrading to FRG83, 45MB left, dunno what happened there but always nice to have. BUT! Since the upgrade, if I just start the browser and view a couple of pages, application space goes down dramatically. It even when down to 4K left and yes K... At that point, I couldn't open any app anymore :(

Clearing the cache does not solve the problem because its not the cache that uses space but the data?! If I go to the applications running list, it says that the application is 0K, the data between 10-45 MB and the cache 200K.

I think that they introduced a bug where instead of putting the cache in the cache partition, they have put the cache on the data partition! This has rendered my phone unusable because 2 minutes of browsing and I get the low space warning and after a while, apps don't start anymore...

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Since Froyo came about, the browser has cached things more agressively, it's not an FRG83 thing.

I saw my browser using up over 40Mb of space on FRF91 not too long ago. You can clear the broswers cache from it's menu.
[Nexus One General] steve.garon:
Thats the thing. Its not considered as cache by the OS. The OS says the browser cache is empty.

For exemple, has I'm writing if I got to the application info page I get the following:

Browser

version 2.2.1

Storage

Total = 30.05MB

Application = 0.00B

Data = 29.73MB

Cache

Cache = 332KB

In this exemple, total is ok since its the sum of all values, application is ok since its a system app. Data and cache fields are th ones that are messed up!

A data value of 29 MB is impossible since I cleared my data yesterday. I have 2 password remembered and 7 bookmarks. It cannot take more than 100K ... So if I use the clear cache button, it clears the 332KB but the cache still remains in the data partition! Basically I can't clear the cache anymore. And it looks like the system does not clear it either until the systems end up with 4K left on the data partition and nothing works anymore. At that point I need to reboot to clear that stuff!

This is actually even worst than I though since I've looked through all applications and I think its not a browser problem but a system wide problem. For instance my twitter app is using 3.59MD of data but 0.00B of cache with is impossible since I have tweets in the app. They usually get stored in cache...

Can anyone look through their apps information and confirm same behavior or is it just me that has that problem?!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I don't mean clearing cache via the application manager, I mean open the browser, hit menu, then settings and scroll down to clear cache.

Ps. My Twitter app behaves identically as yours, cache isn't storage for apps, that's their data. Email works in the same way, as does messaging. Clearing cache won't ever cause you to lose data from an app.
[Nexus One General] gqkevyn:
I noticed the same thing with Froyo, but I can confirm that doing what Rusty says works.
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
I think it might be some kind of leak. It caches a bunch of stuff, and for whatever reason will stop deleting it. Before moving off of stock FRF91, I saw my browser bloat up to 60MB. Having Flash installed seems to make this worse. FC'ing the browser (via Manage Apps) and reopening it will clear it out and keep it from doing it again for a while.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
This has been happening to me since froyo. Its annoying but apparently a whole bunch of lunatics requested of so google did it. You just have to close all your browser windows. That works 90% of the time for me. Otherwise I have to reboot after closing the windows and it works. But I still haven't figured out the benefit. My browser worked great, I had few complaints..but I guess its good that google responded to requests
[Nexus One General] NexuSix:
Simple Solution: Install and use CacheMate, set "Auto-Clear Interval" to 'every hour':

QR Code:
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
yeah there was a bug report on the google forums and a bunch of people wanted pages cached. the example used was if you open a few pages in new windows to read later during your commute to work. then when the train goes thru the tunnel with no service you want to go read the pages you loaded earlier, but now the browser tries to reload your already loaded pages. but with no service, it fails, and now you lost your pages.

so google implemented cache each page in froyo. that's why your browser grows so huge. it wont show up as cache, but its using disk space somewhere on the phone memory.

you dont even have to clear your cache. just close all windows in the browser, or just kill it with a task manager, and it frees it all up.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Feature, requested by many, and discussed zillion times since Froyo was out. Excellent one, with a single caveat - if you don't have enough internal storage on your phone, you're in trouble. Since Nexus doesn't shine in that department - those not using Apps2EXT are indeed in trouble.

I have some specific questions about Android compared to WM or WP7, whatever. I have been a WM user for quite a long time until WM 6.5 bur never had experience with Android.

I have the following questions:

1) Does Android maintain registry like Windows? In other words, will install/uninstall of test software cause the device to become slower over time or unstable and require hard reset and start from clean?

2) Being a systems engineer, I was able to install several tools including network diagnostic ools on WM. Will I be able to do the same with Android? Better or worse?

3) Can I find similar applications for GPS like those I had on WM? In specific, can I use for example, MLS destinator with Android?

4) Generally, which device is more flexible with applications? (I know that WP7 doesn't have any yet but over time, it will) so, based on that concept, will both devices have the asme capability of handling the same applications or maybe one will be more for games applications and the other for business apps?
[General Topics] Volker1:
1) Uninstall removes everything. You can also selectively wipe data associated to individual apps.

2,3) Maybe you should figure out what you need and ask specific questions ;) Android comes with online maps/navigation and offline apps are for sale on the market.

4) As all first-generation Microsoft products, WP7 will flop. In a few years after pouring countless millions from the OS monopoly it'll be usable...
