[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
You'd have to be crazy to buy a current generation motorola product, with that eFuse crap...

Assuming you're talking about the G2 (not the Desire Z) - are you aware that there is a huge difference in the network (14.4mbps vs 3 or 4mbps....)

Given that your phone will sit in it's sleep state or < 10% utilization 99.9% of the time, go for the network.

CPU benchmarks are irrelevant, except for comparing e-peens on XDA.

Im trying to open up the xml files in a app's folder... but I have no idea how to

I've tried using Notepad, Word, Excel, and some XML programs I downloaded but I keep getting errors...

The error says something about Incorrect document syntax and the text looks like mumbo jumbo

any help would be greatly appreciated

Use apktool. Apps compiled for froyo still dont work though, I think.

http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
[Android Themes] Adamsville MITM:
tried that too... no idea how to work it
[Android Themes] ffff00:
the basic syntax for decompiling is - apktool d filename.apk outputfolder

compiling - apktool b outputfolder

the outputfolder defaults to "out"

just type apktool into terminal and it'll tell you what commands you can use

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I returned it last time no problem, they shipped it to me and yeah whatever. I don't have a warranty, is this going to be a problem if this is my second eris that's broken?

Basically, I don't know the specifics but can I still return it even though I have another time and don't have a warranty AND not get charged?

It's the trackball problem fyi
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmafdahl:
The Eris is under manufacturer warranty so you can return it as many times as you need. I'm on my 3rd eris and will be returned if it's trackball issue returns. Holding out for hope that they run out of eris's soon so can upgrade to incredible.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmason68:
Wait...all Eris's are under manufacturers warranty? Not if you bought it 2nd hand though, right?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blma617:
I sent back the first Eris I had because the microphone suddenly just stopped working ie. the people on the other line couldn't hear me. They shipped me another one and the trackball wasn't working so I sent it back. Both time I returned these phones I was not charged and had a new Eris delivered to my door the next day.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
I bought my Eris through Best Buy but VZW was able to do a warranty replacement on it. They can probably tell by the S/N the warranty status.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Spitfire128:
I'm having doubts about the solar-battery. There's people saying it won't recharge the 3GS, for example, issues that I've read about on similar products too.

How's the Bluetooth keyboard? Is it good for typing? I assume you could use it with emulators.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ickyboo:
It seems to charge my sisters 3gs fine last week when she was overseas in 3rd world country without reliable power. It also charges my system fine. But as I said I have the 2000mha version which might have higher amps. It charges on par with USB cable so I'm guessing 300mah while normal charger does 500mah. It takes about 10 hour's in sun to charge its 2000mah batt and 6 hours to charge phone. The keyboard works fine . Haven't tested it with emuls as I don't have any. For its price its not gonna be the best but it works. I modded a case to make my sgs a mini lappy. I mainly use my system in a iPhone wrist case as a watch
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xxgg:
If you search for other portable battery packs like the one OP listed...

You will see that there are a lot of users you have cracked open those just to find out that a lot of them use batteries that are only like half the mah and such. It varies too much.

Rather than that, I totally recommend the following type of gadget...

[Vibrant General] eraw890:
So i got an icon on my notifications bar that said "DM" Device Management, and i know that meant that my update was being downloaded OTA. After about 1 minute, it went away. I already installed the JI6 manually through ODIN. So could that just mean that it was recognized that i already had the update, or did it "fail" because i had a manually installed ROM? Thanks for the help.....This is my first post by the way. I love XDA.
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
My GF just got her update notification today and it nearly bricked her phone. Mine is already updated through odin, so i figured i just let her phone update through ota. Well, the update failed on her and it caused her phone to get stuck on the Vibrant screen. This happened while we were out, but the good news is that the ota update fix the hardware lock. I used odin and flashed the update again and all is well. For the ones that knows how to use odin, I would highly recommend updating it yourself through odin.
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
I have a weird problem with the HD2 when using another cell phone's BT PAN tether.

Just for kicks, I put my active tmobile SIM into my backup ATT phone running WM6.5 Internet Sharing BT PAN, and paired the HD2 to this old phone via the HD2's BT Network Manager's "access Internet through remote devide"... in other words, using the old phone to tether the HD2.

In the HD2, Opera Mini5 and Skyfire and the native HTC weather all work without problems, but PIE and Opera10 will not connect. I know both Skyfire and the Mini5 are using proxies, so is this a symptom of the main ports for PIE and Opera10 being blocked somehow, and allowing only the Mini5 and Skyfire proxy ports open?

Everything on the old phone itself works, and I can even use its BT PAN to tether my netbook. It's just the problem with the main programs in the HD2, namely PIE and Opera10 and even Opera9.7 don't work., while all the proxied stuff work fine. I disable ATT's proxy in the old phone, but don't think it matters any, since I'm using Tmo's sim.

It's not really that important, since i can pop sim back into HD2. But if I'm ever in an area where tmo gets no signal, I might have to use a friends's BT PAN, and will not be able to use the proxy-free Opera10 nor PIE. Anyone run across this scenario? I don't even know where to start looking for the solution.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chanaka1980:
Hi,

I have upgrade my HTC Magic Android 1.5 version to Android 2.2 .

I have seen new features like Live Wallpapers, it's not working in my phone.

i have tired the Market themes it's not there,

is there any place???

please help me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] XfooYen:
If you're using cyanogenmod 6, live wallpapers are not supported for the magic because the phone doesn't have enough graphic processing power. I have tried using live wallpapers on the mytouch in the past and frankly, it's just too choppy and not worth the effort. Give up the notion of using LWPs on the magic. It will never work. If you can't live without LWPs, buy a new phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrisgto4:
Ummmmm nevermind. Sorry to the open for my original post
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
@chrisgto4 Were you abused by live wallpapers as a child? The way that you responded shows a lot about your character, and not in a good way. May I suggest you seek some other outlet for your anger, rather than unloading it on some innocent bystander?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Nothing ever changes :-/

I'm guessing you also like to hurl abuse at someone when they ask you a question to make yourself feel big.

As I said, it shows a lot about someone's character. I'd also imagine that anyone who will say that to someone online is exactly the kind of person who would never dare say that to someone face to face.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrisgto4:
I would never say that to someones face.....that would be rude!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OuncE718:
I didn't say anything pal. I just laughed. I'm not no internet thug. If I have a problem with someone then they'll no when I see them. You should mind your business. If I feel like laughing at a comment that someone else made then what is that to you? Are you the person I'm laughing at? You have a South Park character as your icon and your talking about me. What does that say about your so called innocent character?

[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
kinda a just-for-fun story. I am really proud of my cappy after that~~~

So I was talking to my friend using an App called QQ, which is quite similar to ICQ or MSN, and is very famous in China.

And it turns out that she kept getting online and then offline and then online again...

And I asked 'what's wrong with u',

and she said "I have to quit QQ to use another App"

And I:"don't u have multitask in Iphone4???"

and she:"yeah!! It actually notifies me when a message comes, but it shows to u that I was offline until I reply to u............"

And at that point, GPS seems no big deal to me, cappy rocks~~~
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
I have a Iphone 3GS at the moment and yes, the "multitasking" (if you can call it that) sucks.

Its not really multitasking its more of a quick bar to apps stored in memory, so they load faster and thats its.
[Captivate General] sublimaze:
iOS4 multitasking is a joke. but considering how long it took apple to offer MMS, that comes as no surprise

when i had my jailbroken 3GS, i used proswitcher + backgrounder for *real* multitasking, which worked very well. if your friend's iphone is jailbroken, you should suggest those apps. she will be your best friend
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Iphone multitasking is lame compared to the iphone. Her app, however, was poorly written if it showed her as offline when she closed it. There are plenty of instant messaging apps that worked seamlessly even on iOS 3.
[Captivate General] soys4uc3:
i used to own a 3gs for a year an a half, and i was so let down by that multitask they offer. number one, it takes forever to kill all the apps you open. number 2, if you want any convenience, you HAVE to jail break for sbsettings. now, its not as easy or quick to jail break any longer, cause of the constant updates ever since they try to move towards the whole ios 4.. there are in between updates that are quite annoying. so far, I don't see any use for the iphone. its just another phone, if you can call it that (such bad call quality, makes a "free" phone that you get for signing up a contract look good.). nonetheless, i suggest getting those "all in one" social network apps, like Beejive. it keeps you logged in even if you hit the dreaded Home button.
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Please dont call it a "Cappy" sounds extremely childish/gay.
[Captivate General] Athailias:
Being a homophobe sounds childish/gay too :P
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I wouldn't call him a homophobe. For whatever reason gay has because synonymous with the words stupid/dumb/retarded/etc...
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
I'm assuming this is iPhone OS3 you're talking about? iOS 4's multitasking isn't all that different from Android's, actually. The major differences is in Android you get to build your own services that can run in the background, whereas in iOS 4 you have five pre-made services you can register your app with to receive updates and whatnot, or "finish a download" (which you can extend infinitely to maintain an active network connection in the background).

It's janky and not true multitasking, but I understand their reasons. The iPhone targets people that are interested in technology, but generally aren't very tech savvy. I'm not really surprised that Apple doesn't trust their customers to manage their own apps in a more direct way than the task launcher doodad.
[Captivate General] teh_Gnar:
My old jailbroken iPhone3G had pretty decent multitasking with SpringBoard and was actually capable of handling 4 to 5 apps at once (despite what steve jobs says about the 3G's ability to do so, not when you can buy the new iteration afterall). iPhone 4's stock multitasking is terrible in comparison. Having used my GFs time after time, I still dont entirely have a handle on it, extremely unintuitive.

It would be interesting to see if QQ's offline/online issue can be fixed by jailbreaking and using SpringBoard as its multitasking platform. It seems as though it treated the open apps as simply being open, but not seen. But im sure apples way of doing it allows only for a pared down open-in-multitasking instances to be burning the background resources.
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
Thx for your advice. However, her phone is definitely not jailbroken and wont let me do this. She knows nothing about IT...
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
em...That reminds me, maybe it's the problem of herself, not the iphone...I just felt funny and posted the story before any further consideration, not meant to start an argument about whether or not iphone4 sucks. Actually I like its appearance a lot, all glass&metal... I dont like ABS plastic at all...
[Captivate General] amtrakcn:
Tencent is not doing well with the iphone QQ I believe~ Also the push notifications on iPhone are annoying.
[Captivate General] Vissionary:
^what he said.

I had a similar combo ( backgrounder & circuitous) and it worked quite well. Although, android's app memory management is much better given that its baked in from the ground up.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutezak:
Depends on where you live, how detailed the maps are. Especially for walking they tend to be better than commercial maps. But house numbers are often missing. In the Netherlands the map is excellent.

The maps are from the Openstreetmap project. If you notice something missing, get an account on openstreetmap dot org and add it. I use 'GPStracker Lite' to upload GPS traces to the openstreetmap site, which makes it easy to add missing pieces.

On the openstreetmap site it is also easy to verify what the map will look like before installing for your area.

Hello everyone, I was wondering, I have the wonderful Bionix 1.8 installed using JAC's ocuv voodoo kernel and have a problem that has persisted for over a month now. I figured I would ask here to not clutter som's thread.

All I want to do is delete every notification sound off my phone, except for the "Tweeters" sound file. I have selected tweeters as my main notify sound but I keep getting a musical riff that is endless and extremely annoying. So, is it safe to remove these files and force the phone to use only one sound file? Anyone know where these files are stored and how they can be deleted?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Zm4's Guide on "How to Install a theme using Chewitt's Installer​

Well, I am not so sure if other themes use the same installer but I am just making a guide for this installer because I have seen people are to confused to understand.

Now I am using DarkSensous for 026. DO NOT TRY IF UNDER 026 UNLESS YOUR PREPARED TO REFLASH AND REROOT.

*NOTE* Make sure you extract the folder and do not do the installation from the .rar file.

Go to the bottom first and read all of that or you will be stuck in one step.

First you go into the the contents folder and click the installation which I show in the picture underneath.

You will see this.

Now you need to see if you have -rwsr- if you don't have -rwsr- then you need to do step 7 first.

Mines is already done when I first tried installing.

Alright now you will see this when you type 7 and enter in the CMD Prompt.

Mines is # but it is supposed to be $ since I have already done this step.

You need to copy each step one by one.

*DO NOT COPY THE $ SIGN* Just the text like it will show $ already and you just type in su and so on.

Once done you need to type in 2 for the application backup.

Just wait till its done.

Continue with typing 3.

After typing 3 and pressing enter this will show.

Just wait patiently.

Now type in 4 and press enter.

Wait patiently for it to finish.

Type in 5 and wait.

THE LAST STEP 6! :') I am so proud of you guys.

Just wait patiently now once your done you need to.

Now type in 9 and press enter.

Look at your phone it may restart on its own or you may need to restart it.

:) Enjoy your new theme.

Things to do before installing theme:

Root your phone.

When doing Step 7 if you are told to.

Make sure you have your phone with you to give permission to the su command.

I am not responsible for anything going wrong with your phone because I was doing the methods and installing a new theme just now.

Credits:

Chewitt for the damn awesome themes he has made and for the installer.

I uploaded all the pictures on a site which was dutch as it's default language well for me it was like that.
