[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
No, you're right. I meant the internal memory. I have a bad habit of using the terms interchangeably. In any case, what I said was true. It sounds crazy, but that's the same way information is processed on a desktop. If you download a file from the Internet, it first is introduced to the RAM while it is being sorted on the HDD/SSD. It's the same way on this device, just on a smaller scale. I'm sure I probably didn't explain myself properly the first time, though, so sorry for the confusion. In this case, think of the RAM as the cache for the Exchange e-mails. If the information isn't pulled from RAM to storage fast enough, there is an error in memory. It doesn't happen on desktops, (normally) because they are designed with better memory management than the Rhodium.

Think of it like if you are moving pieces of paper from a desk to a filing cabinet. The paper on the desk is the e-mails, your arms are the RAM, and the filing cabinet is the memory. You can only lift so much paper as your arms can handle. It is the same with RAM.

I hate to say it, but RIM's Blackberry OS does a better job at sorting this than WM does. Instead of WM allowing the download to continue, BBOS slows the download rate to compensate, because it was designed with this in mind.

WM is still built on the old PPC architecture which allowed for e-mails to be literally synced to the device from the PC. It was never designed to be able to send and receive its own e-mail. It was intended that the user would sync his/her e-mail, reply to it, and then sync it back later. The whole interface hasn't really changed since it was introduced. This is why if you look in the default messaging client in WM, you will notice next to each text message it shows "1K." This was from when space was critical on the device. The whole design of WM hasn't changed since it began. WP7 is the first step Microsoft has taken away from this old CE interface.

This is turning a bit long-winded, but the point is that WM was never designed to be able to handle mail on it's own. This was a feature that was added to the already existing OS. It is for this reason that we have this unique user experience on these devices. It's because the OS wasn't meant to be a phone. It was literally meant to be a true Pocket PC.

Hey Guys, just got "GOTO" Great slider (has gmail / sms / call log notifications built right in) but am curious as to how to disable the stock slider since it keeps popping up first (quickly replaced by GOTO)

Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I use Battery Indicator. It gives you the option of disabling the lock screen.
[Epic 4G General] dannyzen:
Thanks! I'm having trouble finding this, what's the workflow?
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
I am looking for a holster that:

1. Fits my Epic without making me fight to get it out.

2. Has a belt clip that keeps the phone attached to my belt.

3. Won't break after a few days of usage.

I've been able to find ones by Case Logic and Eddie Baur (at Best Buy) but they both have a belt clip that doesn't wrap around your belt. They'll attach to your belt but get knocked off very easy.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I bought this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/LEATHER-HOLSTER...ccessories&hash=item43a22e69cb#ht_2774wt_1008

after watching a video of a guy doing a review on it. It fits the phone perfectly. It is very new so the leather is kind of stiff and the flap doesn't close completely unless I tap it down until the magnet takes over, but that will work itself out in time. It feels like fairly nice quality, and is cheap as well. Holsters for me typically last around a year max before they are falling apart, so I tend to buy the cheaper ones.

Holster is made of leather interior and exterior. Epic 4g fits in very snug for the first couple fits, and then after half a dozen in and outs is a perfect fit.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
How durable are the belt loops?
[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
I have the one from Sprint, no name on the case...it fits the phone perfectly, but the only thing I don't like about it is that with the belt clip on I'm unable to charge my phone because the top clip part goes over the charging port.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Probably not too durable for the cost, but it will last at least a year I think.
[Epic 4G Accessories] chilltemp:
I'm using this, they work well for my needs. Just search Amazon for mor info.

Seidio Innocase Surface Case and Holster Combo for Samsung Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Accessories] JuanDG:
"Galaxy S" Case

I'm using Samsung's own Galaxy S case. I got it at the Sprint store (25% off thanks to my Sprint premium discount) and is really really good, high quality leather and nice fabric on the interior.

The phone fits comfortably and is very elegant looking. I'm including pictures!!!
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
How much was it without the discount?
[Epic 4G Accessories] sick!:
I use the Galaxy S case also. I haven't found a case yet that'd suit my needs better.
[Epic 4G Accessories] JuanDG:
That's the downside of this case, the full price is $34, but considering how well the phone fits and how elegant it looks, it's well worth it.

Just as a side note, I didn't get the case right away with the phone, I searched everywhere for a good case after I got the phone, but couldn't find it, then one day I popped into the Sprint store to solve a problem with my wife's phone and stumbled on it and fell in love, the 25% premium discount made it a lot more attractive
[Epic 4G Accessories] redsox19asb:
Best Buy

Just got one at best buy that is a hard case and comes with a belt holster. So even when you take it off your belt, it still has the hard case so if you drop it, the edges are protected.

Here are some picks of the one I bought off ebay- expensive but very well made. It looks a little large on my belt but the phone fits real well.
[Captivate General] Krad:
I have a user who uses a golf gps program for his Droid X and the program downloads the holes to his phone. Afterwards he sees them in the gallery and it pisses him off.

Is there anyway to hide folders of pictures so that the app can use them, but will not show up in the gallery?
[Captivate General] sdotbrucato:
Place a file called ".nomedia" without quotes in the directory
[Captivate General] wakeupkeo:
I have the same issue but its pulling folders from my picassa account, has pics I want to keep but with past ex's. I want to keep them in Picassa but not on my phone. Anyone know if there is a way to stop Picassa syncing? It doesn't pull the files off the web till you open the folder but the folder thumbnails are bad enough...
[Captivate General] journeyman82:
I use an app called hideitpro, but that won't do anything about the picassa. If you want to stop picassa from syncing, go to settings from the homescreen, accounts and sync, google, and uncheck picassa syncing
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Awesome. This stuff works. I had to create a nomedia file from XP and move it over to the folder via USB Mount. I couldn't create a .nomedia in XP. Later I just renamed it to .nomedia in the device. It worked! Thanks.
[Captivate General] wakeupkeo:
That picassa setting did it thank you! I was wondering were the setting was, I never went far enough!
[Captivate General] bp787:
Interesting. I don't have the picasa option.... Any reason why?
[Captivate General] ewingr:
While on the topic f Picasa, anyone know if there is a way for two people to sahre one account? Of course, Picasa uses your Google login, and so for example, I'm thinking that two different Google users wouldn't be able to share one account. For example a husband and wife...family account.

I should add, I'm thinking for both of us to be able to upload from our phone to the same account.
[Captivate General] journeyman82:
I know you can share albums with different accounts just been a while since I've done out, I'll look when I get home

As far as not having that setting, is it syncing your picassa pics?
[Captivate General] bp787:
nope. It's never really been a big deal until recently. Don't know if I'm missing something or what...
[Captivate General] ayoung614:
easy fix

This is easy to fix. Download a file explore that you can rename files with, and simply put a "." In front of the file or folder you trying to hide or not show up in gaollery. Pic would be .pic hope this Is helpful
[Captivate General] jazimmerman:
Is this for just the directory you place the file in or will it stop media scanning for all subdirectories also?

Thanks
[Captivate General] halfbrainhunter9000:
the only problem with .nomedia is that it hides your music too, so if you were using .nomedia to hide album art that's in your gallery, your music won't show up. Anyone know of a work around?
[Captivate General] jadsru1:
where exactly do you put that .nomedia folder. In the root directory or in my picture directory. thanks
[Captivate General] zelendel:
The no media should be a file not a folder, and you should but it in the folder you want to stay hidden
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
I hope I'm not screwing something up but I've noticed that putting a "." (dot/period) in front of any folder's name its contents won't show up in either the stock gallery or 3rd party image viewers/galleries (QuickPic is one example).

It's handy for me since I keep a boatload of icon folders on the external SD and was tired of seeing them load when I opened the gallery. I don't want to bury them too far since they aren't considered "private" to me. For private pics/movies I just use Vaulty app so they're PW "protected".

So this brings a question for the brains- Am I hurting anything by just using a dot in front of the folder or is the "nomedia" part of the equation a necessary part?
[Captivate General] nickm50:
No you are not hurting anything. The files are all still there, putting a . in front of them hides them from the OS.

This is a basic Linux command. And is an easy way to hide files. You will still be able to see them on windows machines.

Workaround to show them is use a pic viewer that you can manually configure your pic files and include the .xxxxx folder in the search. That being said, I dont know of a program to do this on Android. Anyone else?
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
Ok, cool. I dunno enough about the inner workings of the OS (or any OS, really) to know if that affected how the software reacts to/reads the folders (killing battery by constant scanning, etc).

I read somewhere (here on XDA) that placing the dot worked fine (but I didn't remember the "nomedia" part being mentioned).
[HD Mini General] RmarshP:
In the last few days I have noticed that the emails that were on my HD Mini and have been looked at once, have disappeared when I go back to view them again. I checked in the deleted folder (not easy for as far as I can see this can only be done by expanding an existing email, clicking on Menu so that it shows "inbox" at the top left, and selecting "Deleted" "Sent" etc.- surely there is an easier way!). Anyway, as I'd lost all my emails, I had to wait for another to arrive to do the above. Nothing in Deleted Folder. Went to MS Outlook on my PC and checked there - not there either. Went to Virginmedia webmail - all still there!

Just witnessed what triggers this phenomenom - went to check for new emails, there were my old emails in the inbox, hit send/receive, there they were- GONE!

Anyone out there any ideas what may be causing this?
[HD Mini General] Aario:
Afraid I have no idea why this happens but I have the same thing with googlemail. Could it be some sort of feature to de-clutter the inbox and speed things up?
[Epic 4G Themes] Masterface7:

I have an Incredible that I work on but my wife has the X soooo I need to learn more about it to take advantage of its full potential. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

I have a problem with alarm in the home of manila as 2016 as 2018! To know when we go in and choose an alarm sound files as wav.. Wma and. Mp3 are there! while for the alarm that there is. wav that work! What appears to modify the wav? wma or that is taken into account?

(NB sound alarm clock and WinMobile displays where the wav and not unlike other alarm in manila that shows all his!) In is when you take a tone of alarm awakens in Manila home, it is not clear whether this is a wav or another and suddenly no ring! (Unless one falls by chance on a WAV)

So what should be changed in the Kitchen and in what section? An idea?

Thank you in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yiannisthegreek:
Hi all,

As I am a bit of a window shopper and came to ANDROID from a WM device, I was browsing one of my favorite WM websites www.1800pocketpc.com and saw a review for SPB Mobile Shell v5.0 and it said that it would be being released for ANDROID.

SPB was one of my favorite things about using my Samsung Omnia i910 (as it was really the only thing that made it work very well... lol!) and I think for us ex WM users that this will add a familiarity to our devices and a GREAT 3D UI.

What does anyone else think? Do you like this or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
SPB Mobile Shell is fancy looking, but heavy on the OS

in my WM phone i used it for a while, in the end i took it off, make the WM phone super slooooooooow
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
didnt make my i8910 super slow and it was nice.. but i think i prefer the android ones with up to 7 pages better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yiannisthegreek:
Really? It never really slowed down my Omnia i910 but... I did use the steps found on www.samsung-omnia.org to move and delete un-needed items from the windows folder, etc to gain space.

I really liked SPB and there were a tom of mods you could find for skinning, icons, etc.

I might give it a try but that will depend on how much it costs as well...

i'll take LauncherPRO over SPB lag Shell (biased by its windows version) :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
Compare the hardware of those old WM phones to the SGS, I don't think lag will be a problem. Especially if it has GPU acceleration.

In that video performance looked fluid and flawless.

Not sure I like it though. Going by their Symbian and WM versions, it will be a high priced paid app. Then again it was such a big improvement over the interface in those devices so the price could be justified, while here it already has plenty of competition that doesn't even cost a cent.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
i'm planning to try it out and review it once it becomes available on Android Market for Trial

i'll definitely NOT buy it, that's for sure, as i like LauncherPRO as it does exactly what i wanted it to do down to the smallest detail
