I'll have to try it again! Any particular directory? Anything to do to make this sync when opened? I just opened it and it just sat there, didn't do anything except open my list of folders/files.
[Android Apps and Games] sfreemanoh:
Umm...why does Notes need to be able to send SMS messages? Reading messages and contact data, I can see that, if it can automatically take notes on current calls, texts, etc. But SENDING messages??
[Android Apps and Games] JGeZau:
I use ColorNote

I browse to the directory with the files that were changed on my phone and after a few seconds it auto-uploads the files. You have to "sit" in the folder for a second or two before it will auto-upload the files in that folder.

Infinitely better than connecting a USB cable and mounting the drive. :cool:

Catch Notes for me. Great program. Makes the inbuilt one on the iphone I used to have look very, very silly indeed.
[Android Apps and Games] edgetas:
Catch for me ..

In Android I've tried ColourNote, Note Everything, Astrid Tasks and Catch. So far for me, Catch wins with ease of use, a few simple extra features and syncing. It doesn't record audio, but I didn't much use that feature in notes anyway.

I was trying to find one which would open Windows Notepad's obscure .pwi files with no success, as I use notes almost daily. I use Win7 on PC, so syncing/converting with active sync is a non-option. To transfer them to Catch is a little clumsy, but you only have to do it once. On my HD2 under WM6.5, I open a note, select all, copy, then go to catch.com in the browser and paste it into a new note .. repeat. Once booted into Anroid, syncing gets your notes onto your phone and is accessible/editable on any PC, or thru WM using the browser.

One suprise, I have a really long text file for my homebrew beer log which was in Word. It's always taken ages to open/edit on my phone, but was instantly editable in catch! :p
[EVO 4G General] epidemike:
Is anyone working or planning on working on a port of Windows Phone 7 to the HTC EVO?

I think I've seen mention of this with the HD2
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
......why?
[EVO 4G General] Max_Pain:
Why not? Android DOES...so I for one want a port/emulator of windows mobile and iOS...even better if I could do dual/triple boot!

Swyped from my HTC Evo 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
eh, i agree with you there. it would be cool, i suppose. to tri-boot iOS, Win7 and 'droid. but why create a new thread? there are DOZENS of other threads with this exact question. and i know, i myself usually make a new thread with my question, but seriously??
[EVO 4G General] rebosxl:
Correction Android DOESN'T! Just wait til a winmo phone 7 drops and gets the android port, then drop your Evo like I will. You'll have a far superior phone because you'll have the OPTION to run winmo phone 7 or android (just like the hd2 does now with winmo 6.5 and android). Oh and by the way, in my experience android runs better on my HD2 than my Evo (but i'm locked in a contract with the evo :( )
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
closed source and not even released yet, I'm gonna say nobody is working on a port and won't be for a while.....
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I wont really look for a port until CDMA Windows Phone drop. By then I might have the phone.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
yeah same here, I really need my zune pass back, but then dual booting that HD7 pro has got me excited already
[EVO 4G General] epidemike:
@ zone23 The first CDMA WP7 will be available sometime in the 1st quarter of 2011 I believe

@deathsled I thought that was the case but I figured I'd have to ask since HTC is producing a bulk of the Android and the WP7 devices that certain parts would be shared and obtaining drivers wouldnt be an issue.

One interesting thing is that I was listening to Windows Weekly podcast from TWiT and Paul Thurrott had some interesting comments on network performance on AT&T with the WP7 compared to the iPhone (not sure which model).

I really want to get my hands on a WP7 and thought thata dual boot on my EVO would be great. I love Android and personally think that the platform is better than what the iPhone has to offerr (a dumbed down smartphone ;) ) but the WP7 platform is very, very intreguing (sp?)

I will be getting a Samsung Focus for my wife next week and I'll get to play on that. Bit rambling eh?
[EVO 4G General] ninjaquick:
Well, the HD7 is just an HD2 and The EVO is a CDMA HD2 so I think HD7 to EVO should be doable amirite?
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
well the rom is released and porting to evo should be happening soon
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Since you need a license to run WinMO 7, posting ports or ROMS with the OS for the EVO will probably not fly well with XDA.
[EVO 4G General] edufur:
You are exactly correct. And it seems people never understand this. They will argue that there are tons of PORTS here and that XDA doesn't have issue with them. The fact is, that porting WinMo to WinMo is merely a grey area and does not clearly violate a license since the device already held a WinMo license. But WinMo to Android or others is a problem because those devices did NOT previously have a WinMo licence. Now android is different. It is open... so we can put android on anything and not violate any license agreement that I am aware of.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Porting Windows Phone 7 is an obvious violation of a license. Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 are two completely different operating systems. There isn't any "grey area" at all.

It is no different than installing a pirated copy of Windows 7 on a computer that came with Vista. You think that Microsoft would consider it a "grey area" because you paid for a Vista license 4 years ago? I didn't think so.

And if anyone knows a website where people are working on porting wp7 to the evo, I would appreciate a private message with the details ;)
[EVO 4G General] acerbusconfig:
I would follow that port by throwing my device in the river.
[EVO 4G General] itster2:
thank you steve jobs for your reply. we know you don't like to do anything out of the box, but we do.
[EVO 4G General] Decimation:
Kind of a shame. I would have liked to see this happen. If for nothing else, just to say it could be done.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bahardman:
Hi all, I was wondering, where does HD2 store the icons for programs installed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rumz82:
Using a file explorer, navigate to Application Data (Device)----HTC-----ProgLauncher.

But what are you planning to do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bahardman:
Thanks for the help, I looked where you told me and I found them. I am skinning my icons with valeria to match the other icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rumz82:
oh, ok. Glad it helped. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Why aren't you using JWMD or CSMI to change all the program icons??

It works a lot better than really replacing/renaming them by hand :eek:

Grtz,

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Raiderman:
What the heck is bmg extension?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I really don't know what you're talking about?? :confused:(as no-one said something that sounds/looks like "bmg extension" :eek:)

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Raiderman:
That is what I have in that folder? activesync.bmg, adobe reader.bmg, etc. I opened that folder expecting to find png's???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I think it would be a lot easier for you to just replace the icons with JWMD or CSMI.

When you've replaced all program icons you wanted to change, don't forget to clear Sense's cache to get results.

You can either do it manually or by using SICC

Grtz,

Degake

p.s. Are you sure you aren't seeing ".bmp" instead of ".bmg"??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
So far i know the icons are in the Windowsfolder.

With the new JMWD Icon changer you can clean the Iconchace too. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
I know :)

But I just wanted to show that there's a stand-alone app for it as well :)

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Raiderman:
The reason for wanting the stock images, is if you cannot find a png on the net to make an icon. I know how to make icons, check sig, but I am wondering why they have a file extension of .BMG? Or is it something that is messed up on my system.

I would like to retrieve the icon images for B&L gps tracker, etc, so that I may create a custom icon out of the original. Sometimes the cab installer will have a png image in the program files folder, but not usually.

Just got the new phone and calling all day, there are 2 people that cant hear me at all, but I can hear them just fine. Once it happened in the middle of a call.

Anything that could be causing a conflict? Any fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brack11:
Today, after a week of issuing the phone, one person called me four times in a row and we couldn't hear each other, then I called him back and we had normal conversation. Maybe it its network problem, or something else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
I dont think so as none of my other friends are having the issue and they all have the same carrier

every call I placed recently, after a few minutes it mutes my end and the other person cant hear me but I can hear them

Im running JM5/JM1/JM3

If the firmware is the case, is there a way to downgrade it? I'd rather wait for Froyo official in my area before messing with it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
OK I upgraded everything, the pda,modem, and csc and still the same issue.

I know its the phone as I put my sim in my iphone and it works just fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brack11:
I keep getting people calling me and hearing just silence when I don't even hear the ring, it's about every second call like that! When my wife with simple nokia doesn't jane any problems.

I get sms from carrier about someone tried to call that's how I know how many calls I miss.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
I thought it was some conflict with the sms contacts, but I cleared it and still this issue.

This is the second phone I had. If I cant figure out this weekend, I think ill return it and just go to HTC cause this is just ridiculous. Wiping out the firmware and everything and still this issue...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Maybe its THEM, Sister had same problem with her Iphone 4. Turns out it was her callers at fault as their phones didn't support full Duplex calling or was in a congested area where the towers turned on half duplex calling mode. Theres simply nothing to be done unless you go and pay for a new cell tower
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
cant be that

iphone 4 works just fine, pop the sim back to the galaxy s and it has the issue.

different towers (as I was out of town last night) and same issue and calling people in other cities..

and its only if I call them. If they call me, it's just fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
Buggy firmware or faulty phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
cant be the firmware as it was the same with the old one.

faulty phone possible, but since I flashed it, how could I still get it repaired on warranty?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
Flash it back to the original firmware, you may need to use Odin and search samfirmware.com for the original one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
Ill see, but I dont think they have my operator one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brack11:
I don't know if this is me or really I found the hardware bag but I noticed that all signal loses occur when my phone sits in my pocket face outward way. Also when I keep it in right palm at the bottom part of the device, I see signal drops by two three bars, look like there is antenna placement problem, or the device was designed for left handed user.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
I dont know.

I think Ill return the phone tomorrow or send it for service. I had the provider check, and there are no cell tower issues, so it is my phone and it's only to one or 2 people I frequently call.

My provider firmware isnt on the website.

Is there a way to downgrade to one where Kies can automatically install a new one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason8612:
OK so I've been playing a game with the service center.

First attempt - sent it off for service with explanation. They put a new firmware on and thats it.

I tested it at the shop, and same issue.

Sent it back - attempt 2.

They ran some tests and didn't find anything wrong with it. Got it back yesterday and used it for about a hr before the same problems came back.

I sent it off again to a different service center. Hopefully they will find out whats wrong.

I still have the issue where the other party with either not hear me (every so often) or after a minute it will do it.

I don't know what to do. The service center claims theres no issue, but I do have the issue. I can't return it as here in Poland there is no buyer protection.

Do I have any recourse? Is there a way to brick it where they need to send me a new phone? is there any hope left for the phone besides a new paperweight?

Oh and it isn't because I don't know how to hold a phone. This happens when I'm using bluetooth and never touch the phone to answer the call

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Nobody.. Ask your mobile phone carrier (although, they will possibly be useless).

By the way, the monkeys in XDA couldn't even accurately predict the release of froyo for the largest markets, so not sure you could trust any responses here. Keep in mind, that developers often only release things when they are complete. Would you prefer that they release it prematurely?

something between a class 4 and a class 6

it's rated as a class 6 but it works as a class 5 so speed test results scores it at a class 4, because it can't sustain class 6 writes, and there's no classification for class 5, so the next available one is class 4

Hello,

I have gmail and skype in running aplications and when i do force stop , but later they appears again , I dont turn them on, but those programs appears in running aplications(not services) . How to close those programs that apps dont turn on whenever they want
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterMonitor:
Gmail is alaways running, how to close it ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
Go to study android :P

No need to close an app, because later u will have to START it AGAIN (this will consume cpu and battery)..so why u want to close it?

Lets stay it in background, it does't use cpu and doesn't drain battery and in this way the app is ready for the next use!

Gmail is always running, and appears again also if u stop it, because it have to sync ur mails and have the permissions to start at phone boot.

Tip: uninstall skype, is still a bad app in my opinion
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zHk3R:

Closing applications is not necessary, ever. If you stop killing applications you won't have FCs all the time. Get rid off your task-killer.

[Q] Backup and restore over different kernel based builds, sense & "clean" roms

Hi all, I'm running an Android build for daily use and I want to update it.. The kernel of this build I'm using is from the old branch, not from the EVO, and the ROM is "clean", so without HTC Sense.

My question is:

Can I backup my messages, contacts, bookmarks and other datas from my current build and restore they in a new build with sense or in a Evo's one like i always did with Titanium Backup in the past?

If Titanium Backup doesn't permit that, can you give me some tips?
