Ahh damn, I'll just hold out for that glorious day. I've got a couple friends who recently finished their degrees in computer science. I'll dangle the ransom thread in their faces and see if they wanna help the effort.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
Rooting will allow me to delete all the bull**** bloatware right? Like that Moxier mail, sync, messaging etc?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] argnom:
Yes, rooting will allow you to uninstall stuff. You will need Titanium Backup from the market though.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
I know there is google but after hours of search I can't find it.

I use Alarms application from Palmary and I set an alarm for every hour between 8am till 11pm. My intention is to have for every hour another sound so I know what time it is without getting my phone out of my pocket.

I wanted sounds, preferable mp3, from a clock/tower church with 1 BOING till 12 BOINGS, so I can set for each hour another mp3 sound.

Sofar I really can't find this on google. It's a long shot, but I thought, I will ask you guys, maybe some one knows a website where I can get what I want...

Cheers,

Arnold
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
might be a little bit of a faff, but don't you just need to create 15 separate daily alarms.. one for 0800, one for 0900... etc etc.. and give each one it's own sound?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
that would do it. i am not aware of an app that does this, so its back to good old manual alarm setting :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Yes, of course I need to set 15 different alarms, each repeated daily, but I need the clock sounds for each hour, that is what I am looking for actually...
[General Questions and Answers] UranusHertz:
Hi all,

I notice that the popup menu spacing for the WM6.5.x ROMs are incredibly big, about 30-40% bigger compared to my WM6.5 Acer S200. I'm not referring to the font size nor the separator but rather the white spacing between the menu options. I've set both my S200 and HD2 font size Popup Ht to 800 and every setting in GWES\Menu is identical for both devices. the "Text size" in HD2 "Screen" setting on the HD2 is at 2nd smallest, Acer's is at the middle.

Attached is a screencap of Total Commander on the S200 and the HD2, note the huge difference in available menu options. How do I reduce that white spacing between the menus? My fingers aren't that fat to warrant so much waste of space. Is this a registry difference or an OS setting? Thanks in advance!!

btw, I'm running Miri's Standard v22.1 ROM on my HD2. I tried using other roms too and they all have that huge spacing for the popup menu. I haven't flash my S200 to a custom ROM because it is near perfect.

I recently changed my HD2 for an Evo....Mix feelings!!!!

I noticed that on my Hd2 I could send,change and even create Word documents..

I can not find a way to do this on my new Evo4G..Any help?????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drelmarley:
the hd2 is windows mobile based thus providing users with the mobile version of microsoft office.....the evo is an android device that is still capable of viewing, creating and editing documents......buuuuut u have to purchase the office app from the market.....or i may know a way to get a free version if you can find a way to contact me.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:

The EVO comes pre-loaded with QuickOffice, which I believe allows you to see/edit word files.

but it doesnt seem to load my contacts so everytime i want to call someone i have to use the skype directory look for the person and call from there even if i re-add someone the contact doesnt show up :( could someone help me with that?

Btw: It works on Wifi and 3G for me i used the call from Wifi but only logged in on 3G
[Android Apps and Games] Bnorus:
Download from the market in HK. Works great on N1 with CM6.

Some features I found missing:

- Consume battery very fast but that's due to the 3G consumption

- Interface is great, but need some fine tune in the menu order/organisation

- When you switch between chat you are always put on top... that's means every time you switch you have to scroll down to the bottom, and that's not convenient at all...

@bernabap: Found the same on my N1, sounds quality is great but the volume is low even at 100%...

I have it on the evo and it works great.

One thing i have noticed in this thread is people saying its crap and garbage but at the same time people were pissed when skype trash fring from there api and begged skype to make an app.

Make up your mind people and give them time to develop you cant expect a big company to give you all the features at once they want your feedback. they have timed releases its like sony and microsoft with game consoles they announce it and say that the target launch date is about 9 months away but they are already finished and ready to launch

i know off topic.

BTW skype rocks
[Android Apps and Games] scrizz:

[Android Apps and Games] Rolade:
finally its still another beta

Was running this on my HTC Magic with CM6 for one week now. No additional market updates since first install. I needed to search it from website skype.com/m to be able to install it with the market.

I was using Skype Lite, Fring, Nimbuzz before. All had special disadvantages in usage. This new skype does have those too, to be correct it has a lot.

what works:

login, sync contacts (at least once), messaging, calls on wifi, its localized into german

not tested: calling on 3G (vodafone germany), sync with my google contacts

issues (and why I would name it the 2nd Skype Beta):

- the user interface (tabs and menu) is not common to previous skype versions nor to android users of the above programs.

- no status icon, Skype uses only one static black icon, no changing colors in bar, no login status visible from the bar.

- login screen does always immediatly tell me its not able to log in, and I shall try again, but it does log me in! when I wait for some seconds, after this first message I will get in.

- the "Automatic login" does not always work, (tried both on the login screen and in settings)

- but when "Automatic login" is active I managed to login with a invalid entered password! this is a no go!

- unable to stay logged in for longer, I had to enter the password again and again. after sending phone to sleep, after switching from wifi to 3G and back, after reboot with "Automatic login".

- no synchronizing with PC Skype message log, it does not sync all your messages from the mobile, you will only see some (mostly its the first from mobile and the last from PC)

- can not customize message sounds

- it has groups but these are not your own groups in your skype profile

- after logout (which is possible with hidden (screen size) status change or menu function in the profile tab) Skype service stays in background. this drains my battery a lot from over 20 hours down to 8 hours.

- it is slow, changing tabs, entering messages, all action are very slow compared to the similar apps.

- what is this thing about video calls?

some of my issues may be in conjunction with CM6 / froyo on the HTC Magic, some may be connected to the german locals, but

no excuses, releasing another beta means for me:

Skype still does not recognize Android as its user base.

so I.Uninstalled.
[Android Apps and Games] gizmoarena:
Everything works fine except ...

1. Proximity sensor does blackens the screen, but doesn't turn off the screen. Meaning, as long as the conversation goes on, the screen is on!

2. Voice quality is not that good.

3. for a unrooted Desire, app size is huge!

I'll probably go back to Nimbuzz.
[Android Apps and Games] CtapukaH:
android skype - not as good as its' bigger brother

Hello everyone.

A couple of months passed and there were minor updates to the Android version of Skype which is now: 1.0.0.983.

My opinion on the app, as follows:

negative:

-> no video chat;

-> no multiple contact editing;

-> battery drainage issues for most users;

-> high storage, RAM and CPU requirements;

-> average UI functionality compared to PC version;

-> login problems (earlier bugs, seems fixed now);

-> no quit button (very SERIOUS lack as some developers had specific "skype process force close" applications built);

-> blutooth bugs with some terminal models (further testing needed);

positive:

-> now with 3G availability;

-> voice quality and latency;

-> App2sd;

Expecting much more from Skype.

I have an Android mobile phone with unlimited data and i was able to setup a VOIP on my phone using a free provider using a program such as CSipSimple or Sipdroid and it worked.

I noticed some places it said that some providers don't allow VOIP though the 3g network so I called bell and asked them if I was allowed to do it, they passed me around for a bit and did not really give me a proper answer.

Does anyone know if they allow, disallow or just dislike VOIP.

[Nexus One General] jimbobalu:
I run into this with apps I have moved to SD and a couple other apps in the market like Google Sky Map. Also had this problem with WiFi File Explorer Pro but the dev made a change to his code and it updated fine after that, he said there is some issue with rooted phones. For apps that are already installed and won't update you need to move them back to phone storage and then update again. Not sure if this applies to you as you are unrooted but maybe you did the adb setinstalllocation?

Also, this should be in the Q&A section.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rmarquez:
Hey guys:

In the process of trying the Brazil generic firmware (1.1.A.12.174) for my X10 Mini Pro (1240-1185; which is SIM free and generic), I had a bit of problems trying to downgrade back to my original firmware (1.1.A.0.8) and I had to use DaVinciteam to flash the phone back (it was in a semi-bricked state and it was all my fault :D).

I did notice however, when I brought it back to life, the content on the SD card (which I had formatted in a frenzy) was not replaced back. Even after a factory reset! That means that I don't have any of the ringtones, sounds, or the nice mp3s that were included with the card. Nada. I even tried to reinstall using SEUS. No luck!

Would a good samaritan be willing to make a copy of the content so that I can replace the files on my phone.

Thanks!
[General Topics] Ooze3d:
Hi all,

My girlfriend asked me for some kind of "all in one" mobile device that she can use as a phone, a decent camera, a music/video player (so far almost any phone released in the last 3 years does that) but she also needs a decent av out and usb host mode. She's an art teacher and spends most days using projectors and getting works from students on flash cards or usb sticks. So far she was using a netbook for all that, but given the fact that she doesn't need everything a netbook offers I thought she could replace it with a smartphone.

So far I found the new Nokia N8 which can literally do every single thing she needs (it even has hdmi out, so the video quality should be great). The problem is Symbian and everyone complaining about it. I don't think my girlfriend would have any problem with it since everybody complains about the lack of features compared to android or other smartphone os (yet very few people has actually tried Symbian^3) and she's never used a smartphone before.

Anyway I wanted to know if I had other similar options.

Thanks a lot.
