[G2 and Desire Z General] jakobdroid:
I'm not having any problems with my external speaker, but the handset speakerr seems pretty quiet compared to my N1. In-call volume is all the way up
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
In-call speaker is decent on my G2, at least as good as my G1 was. The outer speaker was about the same as the G1, which isn't great. But it does have a headphone jack. For music/apps, using headphones is much better, albeit a hassle to pull out headphones every time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Guys let's not talk about this speaker issue anymore. It pisses me to ****.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
My Blackberry Bold 9700 has an amazing speaker. I can hear that thing in the next room easily. I am interested in the G2 but there are so many things I have to weigh before taking the leap. It looks like I will miss my 9700's speaker if I do.
[G2 and Desire Z General] somevietguy:
the sony x10 had a great speaker....
[G2 and Desire Z General] mtl171:
even my Nokia had a good speaker.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Skyydragon:
The speaker is fine to me, used Pandora, I can hear the Ringtones from my phone in the next room, and played games like Bust-a-Move and Heavy Gunner with no sound issues, are there better speakers on phones out there? im sure...but mine isnt defective or distoted, I can hear my tones and play my radio stations, I mean seriously, It IS a phone...If I want bigger sound, I'd buy speakers for it, or better yet, buy a stereo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] amalio357:
Damn philsophics,I hope thats not ur pic cause u look scary as ****!!!!!LMFAO SMDH.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ekoulak:
I remember the n1 devs had a speaker "fix" maybe its something g2 can get in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cracksmurf:
Yeah, I'm very disappointed with the speaker on the G2. Even on the G1 I could play everything max volume without static. The G2 sounds like crap every time I max out the volume. Whether it be stock player, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, or Audiobooks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] matt_sd:
Speakers pretty good to my ears. Not much bass, but plenty loud and fine to listen to music.
[G2 and Desire Z General] IcedZ:
I can hardly hear anything out of the speaker at full volume. It is seriously unusable. I have to bring earphones with me to listen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nighthawk626:
as much of a headache as the samsung moment was, that phone had a ridiculously awesome speaker. so damn loud and clear but this doesnt defer me from this phone. no phone will ever be perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oldsk00lz:
My speakerphone sounds good for some things. (I.e. good mp3s). But for other things it is really tinny (I.e. some phone calls, some videos recorded with my G2).

When it is tinny, it can actually hurt my ears, which is unfortunate.

thanks alot guys! fast replies, im using the MIUI rom, but im guessing that will work as well right?
[Desire Themes and Apps] 554321:
well this is getting really annoying,

I'm running stock 2.2 Froyo

downloaded skype of my UK simcard, because for some

reason its not available in my current country, switched

sims, and tried to sign in, at first, it kept telling me the

user doesn't exist but after i signed out on my pc.. the

user suddenly existed, and it signed it, worked great

until i switched sims to refund an app then switched

back to my regular sim card, after that everytime i

try to sign in, it doesn't even try to sign in and gives me

"we're sorry, but we couldn't sign you in. Please

try again later"

does even work on Desire ? i checked skype.com/m

and it told me its not available currently for my device,

although it worked once in a while..

any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: I'm reading this is happening to almost everyone, server issue ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] ljesh:
It happens to all (most?) of us. Several tries and I managed to sign in :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] 554321:
was able to sign in with no problems now, i think there server was temporarily down
[Desire Themes and Apps] racccooon:
Hey evbdy

I had the same problem. I could solve this for me by changing the password of my skype account to one that suits the new skype password restrictions (numbers and length) ..maybe this is an "old" account issue.

hope this helps.

::takk
[Desire Themes and Apps] kfasheldon:
Think it was a server issue , maybe we all overloaded it
[Desire Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
I fixed it by doing the following:

1 - Goto Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

2 - Select Skype from the list

3 - Click "Clear Cache"

4 - Click "Force Stop"

5 - Click "Clear Data"

After all of those are down you should be able to re-login.

[G2 and Desire Z General] GermanGuy:
Here in Minneapolis on the G2, I often lose 3G inside buildings (switches to Edge). I never had that problem on AT&T. Does the T-Mobile 1700 3G Band not penetrate buildings as well as the AT&T 3G bands?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anderdroid:
Depends on your location. T-Mobile here in Pittsburgh rapes AT&T, three times over and over.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
The downlink of AWS 1700 is around 2110 MHz. The downlink of CLR 850 is around 880 MHz. Lower frequencies tend to penetrate buildings better. Of course this is assuming all other factors equal (e.g. density of site deployment).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
It is as jashsu says, shorter bandwidth signals penetrate buildings better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] azzeh3:
I got a good 3 megs per sec over my friends iphone4 when I had a vibrant so I'm not sweating it speed test app for who wants to know
[G2 and Desire Z General] heygrl:
There are a number of factors for this.

- Phone reception

- When your local network is set to switch over to 3G

- 3G network maturity/Investments

It's not the same across different cities (networks are built out differently) or phones, HTC in general has been mediocre to acceptable depending on the device. Lock 3G if you must.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GermanGuy:
How do I lock 3 G on the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zaiaku:
Damn I miss pittsburgh but anway...

In Houston ATT kills T-mobile. I have both services. Constantly having problems with signal and I'm just 2 bloccs from the tower yet no problems with ATT and the speed is incredible. Just depends on your area.
[Droid X General] swordphsh:
I'm running the 2.3.15 deodexed leak with root. Whenever there is a notification for either exchange, facebook, or pop3/imap email, the status bar/drop down is missing its icon. There is just a while space where the icon should be. Also, when I go into the messaging application, everything except the global inbox and sms have a standard closed-envelope icon, instead of the default icons.

I was running the 2.3.9 leak for a day or two, but don't remember if the icons were present or not. I noticed it after loading 2.3.15, though.

Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] swordphsh:
Bump...anyone know where I can look for these files to make sure they're still there?
[Droid X General] swordphsh:
Updated to the 2.2 OTA with the SBF, but did not wipe data and the icons are still missing. Does anyone know if it's possible to reinstall the messaging application?
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
I'd just make a backup of your information to your SD card and wipe cache/date... Simplest fix.
[Droid X General] swordphsh:
Do you mean the entire phone, or just the messaging app...I tried doing just the app. I'm a little uneasy about wiping the whole phone. I use Titanium backup, but I don't know what actually gets restored after a full wipe.
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
It looks like your best bet at this point. You did a full SBF and it didn't solve your problem. That only leaves the cache or data as your problem, right? Clear the cache first. It won't affect any of your information and might have the error in there somewhere. If it doesn't solve the problem make sure you have the Google backup enabled in your privacy settings. Once your sync icon disappears wipe data and cache. When you reactivate your phone it will restore your stuff.

hi to all, is it possibile to simunlock a wildfire?

thx
[Wildfire General] tuktukscotty:
Hi there, yes you can unlock a WF by the use of a code that you must buy from a phone unlocker. Unfortunately there are no free ways of doing it yet. The unlock codes cost approx £20-£30

[About XDA developers] Shreyas Jani:
We are a global network for WM and Android Devices..True that we started the i-phone devs,but it was after a lot of considerations..As it is we have a terrific amount of phones lined up on the forum home page.We never thought of creating the Legacy devices forum over here,but due to constant advancement of technology and thus the devices too,we cut short the forum main page and a Legacy devices Sub forum was created...Still,the main page list is too big to end.I doubt Svetius would include a Nokia/Symbian Sub-forum on XDA..As it is Nokia also has a tougher and long line-up of its devices...It would create a clutter on already overcrowded XDA..Also users may ask to include more and more devices of the Symbian Os thus inviting Sony-Ericsson and other players on the Symbian too..So its gonna be a strict NO from my side[A hardcore WM loyalist]..If it does happen,it would be a sister project[forum] just like i-Phone developers...

PM the Admins and may be they'd have a look into this!

"In what way can you mod a symbian phone though ?? "

just look at hyperx and faenil roms, the samsung i8910 with 600/700mhz (latest mod of hyperx clocks the cpu to 950mhz) is same or faster than hd2 with 1 ghz (in custom wm or android roms).It would be great to have a device like hd2 with a less hungry OS like symbian, and a good browser too :D ,in the end what matters is the taste and how biased ppl are :D, imho hd2 great hardware with crap OS (wm), android (not so crap but much hungry OS), and symbian (apart the browser) great OS but crap hardware (apart i8910).
[About XDA developers] !PANDA:
noo.. I am pretty sure that there is a reasoin that since 2 years ago only Nokia is producing phones with Symbian.. when I got my first phone (a Nokia) there was Samsung SE.. etc. with symbian.. To be honest.. Symbian is BAD. not worth paying for.. unless you need a cheap smart phone.. eg Nokia 5230 ot 5233 etc..
[About XDA developers] shad0wfire:
at least add meego forums plz

exactly. xda = htc. which was only wm phones until the rise of android, and the long hesitation for the wp7. the only reason android is covered on other devices is because htc started carrying android.

but im one of the people that thinks they are adding too many devices to the forums, and should stick with just htc hardware.

I have a friend that's starting up a gym/health club to the likes of Lifetime Fitness, but a tad smaller in scale. He's looking for a MASTER Android programmer to help him develop (paid of course) a proprietary Android build or app for strict clientele management. The build/program must:

Be a proprietary product (in other words, no android marketplace/app brain postings)

Send/Retrieve Client info via WiFi or Tethering

Catalog customized client workout profiles

Catalog hundreds of exercises with visualization animations

Catalog various customized diet and supplement programs

Send a workout log to clients via email after every session (for Record Purposes)

Must front-end to a customized windows data managing program

Database must be easily editable on a PC.

If anyone is interested and willing to take on such a huge challenge, PM me and we'll go about setting up a meeting (Face to Face or Netchat) with the guy.

Hopefully someone here can help him out.
[Android Software Development] JimmyKimChi:
IMO i dont think youre looking for an android develroper . You're kinda looking for a person that can set up a windows exchange server . My dad does this kinda stuff . but hes not an android developer.

he knows how to setup a server for a business like this i thinkk
[Android Software Development] MacaronyMax:
Hmm.. think your right, Unless the [OP] already has a working server otherwise an android dev :D
[Android Software Development] Psionicsin:
I'm sure he doesn't give a care what it is that someone is called or what job title someone needs to be called. He just needs it done. So if anyone can do this, let me know and we'll get things rolling.

Figured I'd hit the XDA forums first seeing has how you guys can do just about anything. He's giving it one more week, and then opening the job up to a firm. If you want the cash, respond.

[Legend General] grandioso:
Hey guys.

I'm now looking for a bachelor thesis and I was thinking about writing an android application.

Preferably one of which aren't millions out there and a more complex one (using GPS and stuff).

So I'm hoping you could help me. Do you have any tips ?
[Legend General] jcarrz1:
Cool idea! good luck with this.

Unfortunately i can't think of anything my phone can't already do :)
[Legend General] lessirey:
May be some thing like an android firewall, which pops up when an applications initially try to connect to internet asking if we want to allow or reject the connection and remember the choice.. You know.. Much like an OS firewall. Something like littlesnitch (MacOS)

I dunno if this is possible, but would be great.
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
How about a GUI for bluetooth..

See what's connected and easily transfer files to another device..
[Legend General] AllWin:
I would double request for interactive firewall :)
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
Interactive firewall, that remembers your settings for each Application based on your GPS co-ordinates & the network you are connected to (Wifi, mobile and the IP range on the Wifi network - or options to that effect ;) ) That's some advanced stuff to do!

Maybe build a complete network tool on top of the firewall? one that does subnet/CIDR calculating, pinging, MTR, tracerouting/pathping, SMTP/POP3 checker etc

:D I'd use it for sure!
[Legend General] grandioso:
Thanks for the ideas.

The BT GUI looks more interesting to me, but I see there's a bigger demand on the firewall.

Aren't there any similar firewall apps out there ?

I found Droid wall... Anyone tried it yet ?

On the other hand, I didn't find any BT app...

btw keep 'em comin' :)
[Legend General] AllWin:
Yup, i'm using it, but... Always after installing new app i keep forgeting to set up rules for it on Droid Wall :D So interactive firewall would be awesome.
[Legend General] johnnytruant:
There are two apps I want that don't exist. One is dead simple - a timed SMS sender. How often have I thought "must text Mum about X" at past her bedtime, then forgot to send it come the morning. It would be well handy to be able to specify a send time for a message.

Other is location-aware to-do/reminder. Most "Remind Me" apps work on times - either set times or countdowns. That's not how I roll. I want reminding when I get somewhere, not at a time.

"Remind me of $message when I get [home|work]"

Where $home = joining wireless network "HomeNet" and $work = joining wireless network "Worknet"

You could also do notifications on leaving those networks - "When I leave work, remind me to pick up milk/eggs"

There are GPS versions of these, but I'm not leaving my GPS on all day just for one thing. Wifi is accurate enough for me (although you could build in GPS as well, for added accuracy if want/needed by the user)

Hand-written notes (a la Staesj) is good too. As is speech-to-text notes.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Those are all good ideas. I'd use all of 'em. Lol

Good luck mate!
[Legend General] grandioso:
johnnytruant - that is a BRILLIANT idea !!

Already contacted my professor.

If he won't agree with it, I think I'll stick with the firewall (if no one has a better idea).
[Legend General] BlaY0:
These are pretty much all already covered by Tasker...
[Legend General] johnnytruant:
Ah. I didn't know about Tasker.

Still, an easy-to-use, single-purpose location-aware reminder/notes app is probably more useful to more people - plenty of non-techie types, who would likely be scared of Tasker - would definitely find such a thing useful.
[Legend General] grandioso:
So I finally got this app as my bc thesis.

Get ready for the best organizer ever :)

There's gonna be a usual calendar, plus location based reminders, plus friend location based reminders, notes (usual/voice, with/without notification) and alarms (with shake/flip/cover/voice-to-snooze), web-sync, and much more :cool:
[Legend General] rewen:
Personally the main thing I've been dying for is SAMBA shares from my phone, but without having to root. If this was possible (or at least easy to do) I'm sure it would have been done by now, though.

Otherwise I think a facebook video uploader would be nice. I can't share more than 1 at a time with the onboard apps and have never found anything better, so I end up using Qik and sharing them to facebook from there.

Another idea (which has already been done, poorly) is to use your phone as a mouse/keyboard. I am not sure how many apps there are for this, but the last one I used (I forget the name) was pretty terrible. It's handy for HTPCs. The app itself wasn't the big problem, it was the Windows server program. It would take focus randomly, freeze, and there was no good way to hide it other than minimizing it.
[Legend General] Skardy:
No gps, but a video player (with flv support) that works on azure would be very useful to many people :cool:
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
sounds great :D
[Legend General] kazzaz:
what's the best music player ?
[Legend General] nolook:
estrong file manager can access pc samba shares no problem...not sure if thats what your wanting to do though...
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
I quite like Cubed.
[Legend General] grandioso:
yxplayer does it for me...

I don't really dig the graphics stuff anyway. And the decision has already been made.
[Legend General] kazzaz:
is there's any free maps like ovi maps on andorid market ? and with free navigation ?
[Legend General] Skardy:
yxplayer doesn't open flv on my phone (azure 1.0.1)
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Yup.. Google did that for us.. On stock Rom with latest update of Maps the program Navigation is what you're looking for ;-)
[Legend General] nolook:
ya but with ovi maps you can DL the maps to your sd card and use offline (not use data)
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Have you tried OruxMaps? It's the best GPS software for hiking/treking/biking I have ever used. It can connect to various map sources. It also comes with on-the-fly map generator.... you just choose online map source (Google maps, Microsoft Maps, Yahoo, Bergfex, OutdoorActive...) input left-top and right-bottom coordinates, zoom layers and it will download all needed map tiles placing them into a nice small SQLite image file on your sdcard. To prepare your maps you can also use Mobile Atlas Creator on your workstation. Really neat.
