Wait until you try to use the camera with low battery.
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
*kicks samsung*

So annoying
[Epic 4G General] Xodium:
What's worse? ANY APP that tries to access the camera will fail. any. app.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
You're 100% wrong. Vignette works.
[Epic 4G General] Xodium:
I tried taking a photo from Facebook and it threw the low battery warning in my face. Same with Retro Camera >_<

I'll give Vignette a shot.
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Thats not just Samsung, its Android.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
i was able to run my hero into the ground. low battery never stopped it. unless htc did some of their software wizardry
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Same here, hero would die before it closed out of an app to save battery...literally.
[Epic 4G General] crazaytalent:
OMG... I hate this issue... I mean i appreciate the warning and all... but I should at least have the choice... maybe have the pop-up with a continue anyway button or a way to disable in settings...

The idea of warning and attempting to save the battery is a good one, but making it a mandatory default is an apple move, and its sill I have to download third party apps to get around it... if thats the case I cant wait for 2.2 so i can update and just flash a custom rom completely getting rid of all the useless stuff... including the lock down default apps... no point in having two cam or music apps on one device...ahh well
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I read that the reason they stop the camera from being able to take photos and the music from playing is that they want to minimize the risk of corrupting the SD card by not writing to it when the phone dies. What doesn't make any sense why they chose 15% and not a more sensible 3% or even 5%. This really pisses me off.
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
I just saw on the news that Andriod has surpassed iOS and blackberry's OS for most used OS on smartphones.

Congrats to google and all of the awesome devs that made me want to get an android phone!

Edit: My news channel sucks, after reading up on it, the report that was released showed Android as being the most popular purchased in the last six months. While not quite as impressive, it looks like we're making headway on Apple and Blackberry.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Not really. It just became the most bought. Blackberry/iPhone is still #1/#2 in the US by about 10-12% (~31/28/19% - BB/iPhone/Android). Internationally (where the iPhone is available on multiple carriers) the gap is bigger. It's definitely growing though.

Edit: Just to be clearer, the numbers show that in the US people are leaving Blackberry, the iPhone is staying pretty constant, and Android is growing. So it looks like Blackberry (probably from Verizon/Sprint/T-Mo) users are moving to Android. And if Verizon gets the rumored CDMA iPhone (which is available in China now), it'll probably change the dynamics (Verizon Blackberry/Android users => iPhone) since iPhone retention among users is really, really high.
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Removed by poster
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The iPhone has been selling like crazy for years now. It's base of users are much larger than Androids. Right now the iPhone stands at 28% of the US market share, Android is at 19%. People have recently started buying more Android phones than any other type of phone, so it's still less but it's growing. Get it?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Not necessarily, being most bought doesn't make it the most used, it just means it's growing. You can have 2 million BB users, 1 million iOS users and 500K Android users. Android is selling 3/day, iOS 2/day and BB 1/day. While Android is growing the quickest, it's still third in the smart phone market.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Oh so you mean I can transfer my Android apps to a iPhone/WebOS/Blackberry? Nice!!
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
+1. Steve jobs and apple are really good at raping the customers in the wallet yet they willingly let it happen. I don't call their customers fanboys anymore, I prefer the term mindless zombie.

Good luck trying to transfer anything non-apple to an iphone without having to use itunes at least once. I highly doubt android apps would be allowed onto an iphone let alone work correctly.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Ever heard of Doubletwist? That's my point, use one platform and you get locked in unless you want to abandon all your paid apps.
[EVO 4G General] mastermarc:
Well no, (yes) but you can transfer it to a wide variety of hardware manufacturers and carriers.

For instance, here is an incomplete list of where you can take your apps either now, or in the future.

Acer

Alcatel

Apple (oh right, android works on the iphone too)

ARCHOS

ASUS

Dell

Garmin

HP

HTC

Kyocera

Lenovo

LG

Motorola

MSI

Nokia

Panasonic

Philips

Samsung

Sharp

Sony Ericsson

ZTE

Or you can take your iOS apps to the following places:

Apple
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
that made no sense based off what you quoted him from
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I still prefer android over anything apple even considering the paid apps. The android market is still growing and eventually there will be some sort of quality control much like how apple does their market.

As for paid apps, it's no different than buying games on an old phone and then not being able to use them anymore after getting a different phone.

Also, you can't beat the 24 hour refund period. I don't backup paid apps and then refund but it has saved me money refunding apps that did something I could already do. Bettercut is a recent example. My wife wanted to use some icons from the market but it couldn't be used without bettercut. The icons were free but not the app. I just hit refund and showed her how to use custom icons through launcherpro.

Apple doesn't do that. In fact, I remember when the apple market first came out an app was sold for $5+ and it was nothing more than a red button that did nothing. People literally got robbed on that one.
[EVO 4G General] werxen:
Yay another thread about how Apple does everything wrong and Android does everything right./s
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It's still the same ecosystem. My point is that you'll still be locked into Android. Its the way things work.

You must be referring to this article:

[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Read the OP all of the way.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
That's the one. I didn't want to quote the actual price since spending more than $5 on a useless app is dumb enough, I tried to downplay it a bit. But that is the one I was referring to. Thanks for the link.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
It might be the same OS but the selection is HUGE compared to Apples. Like the guy was saying, you have 10+ carriers with android; motorola, HTC, and samsung all use custom UI's. The processors, internal memory, ram and other hardware features can all be changed over different makers on the changeable OS.

For the iOS you have Apple, old version with an old UI and one with a slightly new UI. Which will probably stay the same over the coming years. There is no other company making the phone so what it comes with is what you get and the OS wont come any different (customized) then the other Apple phones being released. That is until they release another version.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
There's a paid app in the market called "dont buy this", I should buy it then make a big stink about it to Google.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I have seen that too but I'm not gonna make a fuss over 99 cents. $999 is a different story.

Hey guys

Sorry but i can't get to know how to play this game?!?

I downloaded it and it says that i must have a storm8 account to sign in but i don't have and i don't know how to create one!

On the website storm8 and wgen trying to sign up, it says that creating an account shall be done from the application but it can't be done in the application!!

I am stuck at the intro screen where it demands the sign in!

How to create an account?! Should i have an iphone?!

I'm on android 2.2

Please guys some help here pls

Account setup

To setup an account for those games, I had to go to their website from a PC and register or create an account from there to get started. Hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] andreimoto:
i played worldwar (similiar to imobster), i never do a sign in, it automatically. (related to google account? i dont know, im totally newb)
[Android Apps and Games] j1mb34m:
I have an identical problem--I had four or five storm8 games. Usually, you're able to easily transfer your account to a new handset by entering in your account info from within the game. I never had to do this until updating to 2.2. For example, on my g1, I would be able to flash any rom (1.5, 1.6, 2.1) except froyo and my accounts would load up automatically. When I switched to Froyo though, I had to actually transfer the account from within the settings menu of the game. Then, all of my games would switch over.

Switching to 2.2 on my captivate, however, is a different story. I can't even get the game to load, as it says that my previously valid account info doesn't match what they have on record. I'm very close to just forgetting about storm8 games all together.

I should mention that I've never created an account through their website--I only created one from within the game (to be able to switch over to 2.2 on my G1). I'm going to create an account on their forum, try that login info in the game and see what happens. Incidentally, my original account info DOES work for logging into the forum...I'm not sure how or why. If creating a new storm8 account through the forum doesn't work, then screw it.

BTW, I've found Forces of War to be a suitable replacement for World War, so you might want to give that a shot :)

2.2

It is an issue with 2.2 builds
[Android Apps and Games] Zappattazz:
I play all 8 storm8 games on my myTouch 3G with Froyo 2.2

On any game that you play, go to the main game page, you'll see a "gear" or "gog" icon near the bottom, select that icon. This brings you to another screen with 3 tabs, choose the tab labeled "Storm8". On this screen, mine account is already setup so it shows my information but if you haven't setup an account yet it will let you create one here or give you a web link to the Storm8 page.

Enjoy!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkness:
Ever since I factory reset my phone contact names are not displayed on the car when someone calls. It just shows the number instead of the name. Even before there was some contacts that did not show the name and some that would. Anyone know why this happens and how to solve it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radar5:
do you have any numbers in your cars "phone book"? I know on my car (2011 Subaru Outback), it only displays the number, but I haven't tried to set up any phone book contacts yet. It's only a small scrolling screen. I can't recall what it's like on my wife's 2010 Mazda 6 with the LCD display screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkness:
I'm not sure if it stores any contacts in the phone book. What happens is everytime I turn the car on it connects to the phone and then it transfers contacts to itself. Which is where it should be pulling names from. It worked fine with a very old dumb phone don't see why it would not work with the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaGuR:
Where do you have your contacts stored on your phone ??

If in Google Contacts, maybe they need to be on the phone itself ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkness:
Ya I was thinking maybe that was it but I remember before it was working with google contacts. Also to note is that when I try to voice dial out through the cars system I can use (google) contact names just fine. Almost all my contacts are stored in google don't really want to make duplicates if its possible to get it working with google contacts which I know there must be because it worked before with them.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Has anyone noticed deteriorated display performance after DI08? I see this most-notably when switching applications, opening the notification drawer, and sliding between TW home screens. It didn't do this nearly as badly, at least according to my perception, before DI08. I just opened Quadrant, and the highest I've ever seen "Current freq" is 800MHz - I can't seem to get it to stick at 1GHz no matter how much I load the CPU. That being said, Quadrant and Linpack scores are high as ever...

I also noticed that it drops down to 400MHz very quickly. So, is it possible that the display sluggishness is linked to a more aggressive clock throttling to save battery? Or am I just seeing things?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexthearmo:
Does anybody know what UID 10050 is and how to (if it's possible) get rid of it? It's causing a partial wake lock on my phone and draining the battery pretty good. I've never seen it before, but it's at the top of the list for partial wake lock usage.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

PS: I googled, and searched the forum. No help. I'm running CM6
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
I am having the same thing...but have also come up empty for a possible fix.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexthearmo:
weird. Are you running CM6?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
Yes, but I need to retract. I am not actually having the UID 10050, I am seeing UID 1000 in Spare Parts.

Dumb follow up, in CM6 how do you determine awake time? In FreshHero and the Stock HTC ROM it was right there in About Phone as Awake Time, but now all I have is "Up Time", which I assume is the same, in which case my phone is not sleeping, which is a typical issue and I won't even go there ;);)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesparky007:
if you click on it, it'll tell you the packages that share that uid.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexthearmo:
I'm using spare parts too. I don't know how to find out about awake time. But if you click on it in spare parts, it tells how long that particular thing has been keeping a wake long on your phone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexthearmo:
when I click on it it just says UID 10050 Total Time: 30 minutes and 30 seconds.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexthearmo:
Ok. I uninstalled Angry Birds Lite Beta, and it seems to have fixed the problem.

I typed UID 10050 into google and searched a little harder, and found someone's logcat of them launching angry birds and it had the uid reference in it. So...I uninstalled, booted into recovery..."fixed UID mismatches", and then wiped dalvik. Seems to have solved the problem, at least temporarily. I'll report back later if anything changes for the worse.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikegeezay:

Hi all !

Yes my hd2 freezes a LOT when it gets very hot while charging and also when i start it sometimes it vibrates 6 times and freezes without loading the system so if ther' any solution for that ? i installed the last GTX rom and also i did test the latest stock T-mobile rom with the radio 2.14.50.04 nothing changes it's freezing a lot.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
two possibilities:

1. one of you battery connectors might be bent (I've seen few threads on this issue here on xda)

2. faulty mainboard (been there) - if you Leo is under warranty, restore it to stock settings and send for repair

in the meantime you might consider using Battclock for battery temperature monitoring, once it gets to "freeze zone" switch your Leo off for a while or - if desperate enough - put it in the refrigirator (5 minutes should be sufficient)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odoss:
Thanks for your reply, i think the problem is coming from the copper pins as you said ( or connectors as you've said ), when i touch them the phone boots good, but it doesn't fix it i must always touch them and wait that the phones boots so, how can i fix thoses pins once and for all ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCrix:
Some users here reported freezings due to a bad Radio and ROM combination. Maybe you should downgrade to a different Radio and choose another (stock?) ROM?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:

I still have those overheat issues i did verify the poins they are ok i did take it to a guy how fixes phones he told me he don't know ( i dont have a warranty ), if there any other solutions PLEASe help me...

Thanks in advance :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
We've had issues similar with the work HD2and it was resolved by replacing the battery.

How or why this came about was beyond me, but it must have been due to some of the idiots we employ playing about and not showing due care with the phone, so try a different battery, they are cheap enough
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odoss:
Ok i'll buy a new one and i'll try

between i saw a strange thing on the battery ( the battery is deformed at the top a small part ), the battery costs here more than 20$ so it's not that cheap here, but i'll buy it i hope it will fix the problem.

But tell me after buying your new battery the problem is fixed for good? no more overheating?

Thank you man for your anwser.

I did buy a new battyr today, no chan ges the problem is always the same....

Thanks everyone for your help and i will never buy htc phones !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan-willem3:
What actually happen? I would keep trying and if it won't turn on anymore. I would still try to claim warranty by htc. Maybe they are not gonna repare it to difficult. So they can't check for hspl. And then they maybe send you a new phone. As far as I know it doesn't cost your anything when they detect hspl. They just don't repair it.

So, Skype today released skype for Android.

But using it on a HTC HERO causes in stuttering conversations (on non rooted phones)

Anybody has experience on rooted phones, if the quality of the conversations is better?

I read on the internet that the processor is to slow for skype to run on the HTC HERO, but there should be a workaround right? Especially for a rooted phone..

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ct0822:
I installed Skype today on my rooted Hero (Fusion Rom 2.2 update 7). I hear some "click" sound throughout the Test Call (I haven't had the chance to call my contacts yet)

And from some article i read that (We = Skype) "We recommend CPUs working at 600MHz or more, which is all but the HTC Hero for Android 2.1, so users may have some slight issues with the [call] quality on that handset."

So I decided to use my Overclock widget to set my Max speed from 518 to 653 MHz. With that, I only hear "click" sound during the first few seconds of the Test Call and the rest is fine. So I guess the quality has improved ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Trinorae:
I tried to surf to http://skype.com/m but got a message my phone was not supported. Then I tried to download it from the market. That went well.. When I tried to login I got a message "Can't sign in: We're sorry, but we couldn't sign you in. Please try again later." When I click "Forgotten password?" I get an error-message: "It appears you are accessing Skype's web pages through an unsupported browser. Please switch browsers and try again".

Anyone knows why I get these messages or knows a solution?

My phone is an HTC Hero running a (older) VillainRom 9.0.0 ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ct0822:
I think there is some bug with sign-in page/process.

When I first installed and launched the app. I entered username, password and check "sign in automatically" box. Then click "sign in" button on the bottom. It logged in just fine.

But as posted from the reviews, there is no exit function. So I had to do a "sign out" under "my info" status or force stop in Froyo's Manage Application in order to quit the program. Then if I launch Skype again, only username is shown, the password box is empty, so I tried to enter the password and click "sign in" button again... but the same "Can't sign in" error message pops up.. and no matter what I do, re-enter password, etc. still get the error message.

Then I notice that if I just don't do anything at the sign in page...... it will just sign in automatically after 3 seconds !! (providing that you had login successfully before and checked sign in automatically)....

But definitely some bug there with the sign in page.
