[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
Guys have faith in our EVO if they can put 2.2 on the G1, then our EVO will rock out with gingerbread. Hardware limitations broke the boundary with the G1. No doubt in my mind are we sitting in the still after 6 months the best phone to have on android. If you don't believe me I found the source code for gingerbread and I made an alpha Rom with sense in it. Check out the pic. KINDA BLURRY.

...ok its not real but I had to since phandroid had a blurry picture of gingerbread out in the wild. Call it an omagè,.. It was just a joke. I'm running the MYN RLS2 Rom (2.2) that can be found in the development page. But bottom line I'm amazed by what are developers can do with what we got and I'm confident that gingerbread will make its way to the evo. Makes me wonder what would happen if our devs had developing as there full time job?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
If the article is correct, and that's a big if, then Google is developing and running Gingerbread on the Nexus One which has the same GPU as the EVO. Besides, look at WP7, the UI has some smoooth looking animations and all the phones pretty much use the same GPU/CPU as the EVO too. Here's hoping that it holds up well.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
crappier gpu, really its a damn phone you guys will never be happy
[EVO 4G General] evohack99:
You really shouldn't be on this forum if this is just a phone to you, go back to the phone with more geee beees!

The evo has a higher fps rate than probably your computer, this is the next computer, over time, your computer will be in your hand and make phone calls. This will be a on going trend.

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
I still haven't seen any problem with our "crappy" gpu. I don't play 3d games so maybe that is it, but other graphics and animations are fine
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
Easy there tough guy custom built my pc, and enjoying my six cores oc'ed to 3.6ghz, right along with my two ATI 4870 don't assume things, while I do play games on here sometimes, I'm not obessesing over newer hardware that is not even out.....grow up
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
Hey evohack99, don't you have a gizmodo phone tournament to vote on
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Put a Epic 4G and a EVO side to side, now put matching live wallpapers on both. Tell me which is smoother. Throw in LP's 3D app drawer and the gap will be even more apparent. I have hope that Gingerbread will run fine but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't buttery smooth either.
[EVO 4G General] mikeDCMDVA:
I want to have sex with Gingerbread
[EVO 4G General] blablabla1269:
You might have a chance soon, Christmas is coming!!:D
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
I have no problems with live wallpapers and 3d drawer. I use it most of the time.
[Epic 4G General] luvjones305:

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Pull down the notification bar and then hit the USB notification and tell it to mount.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Try a different USB port (Back of computer preferred) because from what I read your mainly saying your usb cable might not be working or the micro usb slot on the phone isn't.

Once your phone is connection to your computer itll give you 3 options. One of them being "Mass storage" in which you select to move files from your computer to your phone.

Ive also heard of people installing samsung usb drivers but I never ran into such a need.
[Epic 4G General] luvjones305:

[Epic 4G General] lucifermoh:
try another cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
I am currently not using a screen protector and I've noticed my screen is a dust magnet. I get an substantial amount of dust latching on to my screen (if it was just a bit I wouldn't bother). Is there any liquid solution I can use to make the screen more dust resistant? I am currently using lens cleaner and disposable microfiber cloths to clean my screen. Anybody else getting the same issue?

I just ordered a SGP crystal clear screen protector because I noticed how popular they were on the forums... but it won't arrive for another week. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] almaalma74:
maybe u should clean up in ur cave
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
If by cave you mean the city of Toronto (yes I collect dust while walking around the city), then yeah I'd like to. But all the mayoral candidates are crap and our politicians are corrupt as hell. Cleaning ain't gonna happen. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaapschaap:
Haha funny ;)

But it's a real problem with a real solution (2.2-only)...

Go to settings

then click display

then scroll down

turn 'dust collector' off

that should do the trick!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
This is my first time running into snarky people on xda, everybody else has been nothing short of helpful.

I'm noticing my phone screen is collecting more dust than all my other gadgets; I'm just wondering if anybody has had a similar issue.

There is no need to try to insult my intelligence. Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Turn your phone upside down when you place it on something, should do the trick lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mvenneker:
hahaha the replies made my day xD xD
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rasebo:
Now that I think of it, I have never seen dust on the screen of my SGS, even though I live in a relatively polluted city. I guess it just gets wiped off by my fingers while, you know, I'm actually using the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
Thanks for letting me know.

Since I've got the phone I've been cleaning my screen with a camera lens cleaner solution. I'm just concerned I may have wiped off a coating off the glass, or the solution itself made the surface more adhesive. I'm sure it won't be a problem once the SGP protector arrives.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargasso:
I know nothing about the hardware so please correct me... The screen is capacitive thus using electricity to detect touch. If for some reason the shielding is broken i can imagine it is a little bit static thus attracting dust. It could well be that my assessment is bs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] inefavel:
happens to my phone too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lithicus:
My guess is that you have rubbed off our dissolved some sort of coating. I've had mine here in Vancouver (so the same Bell model, probably) for a couple of months and have never noticed anything I'd describe as dust, maybe some good old sweat and grease.

If you don't mind my asking, why were you cleaning the screen in the first place? Why use any sort of cleaning liquid if you're gonna clean it at all? Wouldn't the microfiber cloth, or kimtech wipes be enough? But again, why do it at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargasso:
Recent study reveals germs and bacteria make your phone more dirty then a toilet seat.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lithicus:
I don't need a study to tell me that, the toilet seat is one of the cleanest parts of your house.

Still, you don't see people washing their money, their keyboard, or their dish sponge obsessively...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bcam117:
I guess you could try brasso gadget clean or something. I have never tried it but its meant to be anti static. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargasso:
Personaly i clean my phone weekly not for the germs but to remove crusts. I use lcd screen cleaner btw. But if you'll ever have to take care of a baby you will quickly get into the habit of cleaning everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lithicus:
this is now getting way off topic, as I'm sure the baby isn't playing with the i9000

but to keep that train of thought going, first time parents do tend to clean everything thoroughly (and hourly), but by the time you have your second or third you realize there's really no need to scrub everything with antibacterial sprays...

anyway, I'm curios whether someone knows if a capacitive touchscreen, gorilla skin, or the SGS's implementation of both has some kind of coating that's vulnerable to being taken off with lense cleaning fluids
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bcam117:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/08/brasso-gadget-care-polish-review/ that's the brasso stuff. I have been using the sgp ultra clear. Its pretty decent thought nothing will beat the bare screen. And I have noticed it is slightly less responsive. Before with use the slightest touch it would register my finger. Now it seems like I need to apply abit more pressure.

Also when applying the screen protector be VERY careful. I wasted the first one because of dust getting underneath. very annoying so be careful and do it somewhere dust free and as quickly as possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
Although I wash my face with biotherm homme exfoliating face wash twice a day, I don't have the best skin in the world. I tend to accumulate oils as the day progresses and my phone tends to share a bit of it. With that said, it was necessary for me to clean the phone every so often. The reason I used lens cleaner was because it was readily available and I figured if it was gentle enough for a camera lens, it should be more than apt for glass.

I'm just speculating there may be an anti static layer I've cleaned off. I wouldn't be surprised if there was (I mean they do sell anti static sprays). Atm, I'm just waiting for my SGP Ultra Crystal screen protector.

In the worst case I'll also try Brasso and/or an anti-static spray.

As for applying the protector, I think I'm going to use the steamy washroom method. :)

Btw, thanks to all who have added constructive suggestions and input, I really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Edvin_o7:
I now have the same problem on my new Pixel 7 Pro I bought like a month ago. It's screen is dusty whenever I get it out of the pocket no matter what pants.

Searched everywhere and can't find anything useful. My first guess is some kind of static electricity. I've tried:

• other phones

• anti-static screen cleaner

• letting the battery die and keep it uncharged for like half a day.

• a bunch of different jeans/pants

• even tried vaccum cleaning my pockets and trying to pick up anything that's impossible to see with human eye by a lint roller and duct tape.

Putting on a screen protector film or tempered glass would be my last resort.

After 30 minutes in pocket it looks like this. It's really embarrassing when I have to get it out in front of other people. Also attaching a photo of my pocket so you don't think they are messy or something. Other phones do not have this problem in the same pocket

I've literally had the Pixel 7 Pro for a few hours and I have the same issue. It's very frustrating.

sorry if this has been mentioned (can't find it anywhere), will winpho7 get swype?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omega Ra:
from everything I have heard right now...no. But hopefully it will in the future, (probably so long as they skin it to stay with the UI theme)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eknutson:
Isn't the question actually 'will there be a version of Swype made for WP7?'

So I'd look at the Swype forums to see what they say...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I have emailed Swype about win 7, but all I got back was that it is in development. But that could be only talk now. It won't happen until Mango anyway. Because in it's current environment you can't change the keyboard. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I really hope Swype will come to Windows Phone 7 soon.

The current default WP7 keyboard is ok, but seriously it is terribly outdated to be obliged to type one letter after the other.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I really hope the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft will help WP7 users to have SWYPE back to their Windows devices...

I used Swype on my HD2 and loved it.

ms have put in alot of effort in the current KB in WP7 and i dont think they will have 3rd party KB in there...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
As I already say, typing letter by letter is terribly outdated.

It's also terribly slow. People used to Swype can write twice or 3 times faster than with the default keyboard.

Sorry, but depite the MS efforts you mention, the WP7 keyboard is based on an old input technology.

I am now really fed up with all the WP7 limitations. I hope the Nokia wp7 phone will come with SWYPE.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andoridkiller:
Peroinsally i odnt htink they need a new KB, they have the best one at the moment, I used skype on my s2 and its not that great, fast typing but sometimes annoying that they get the wrong word.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabana:
Hello there.

Can anyone tell me if some program like Acronis True Image present, for HD2...

Just to make system image when system is adjusted as you like.

And if enything goes wrong, just format and restore system image, and not need to adjust enything again.

10x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
for whole system backup:

SPB Backup (my personal favorite, customisable backups, comes with unpacker for PC), Sprite Backup, Resco Backup - all commercial

-> word of caution: be careful when changing ROMs, full restore may crash your system

for selective automated registry settings exports:

MortScript + FDC Task Manager (check in Mortscipt thread for script examples)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabana:
Thank you very much. I'll try SPB backup.

But I not understand about "full restore may crash your system"...

Can you please explain what you mean?

I have last official Malaysian ROM, and will never install any custom ROM... I dont need it. All I need is after adjustments and tweaks, just make backup of system, and if anything goes wrong ( after some bad program install, or some bad system change and forget how to go back) just restore all system, whith every programs installed and changes maked.

So is your caution important for me to? Or you tell about custom ROM-s

Sorry about my English

and big 10x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
what I meant were stock ROM updates, but it applies to custom ones as well

assume you have official ROM version 1.48, and full system backup,

now after some time HTC releases new official ROM 1.65, you install the ROM upgrade, in the process the whole memory is erased, and now - if you do full restore, your system may (but does not have to) crash, because new ROM may mean new system settings, while restore will overwrite them with the old ones

that's why its good to do 2 separate backup - 1 for system, 1 for files (mails, contacts etc.)

additionally SPB and Sprite automatically discover that new ROM has been flashed and provide you with 3 levels of restore (I don't remember the details, but it's something like full, partial and max safe restore)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabana:
Thank you very much.

Of course i will make new back up, each time I update ROM or make some changes :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabana:
Can you please help me again...

All I need is some Registry Values from this key:

(They was deleted after I install one stupid cab...)

After Froyo update "non standard" pictures don't preview anymore, same issue anyone?

Hi guys,

I have seen this, but it's a bit tucked away I think.

After the Froyo update the Camera app previews regular pictures. But if you take, lets say a panoramic picture. It saves it (you can find it with a file manager), but it previews the last picture you took after it did a "media scan" (I think)

Thought I'd address the problem, although I remember reading some people did not experience this issue.

Cheers guys,

ROM Manager just does not work.

................... So mad anybody buys this program it installs Clockwork Boot Partition but IT DOES NOT ALLOW TO UNINSTALL !!!! This is like a virus.

To make matter worse the program just does not work.

Download any RON from ROM Manager it boots to Clockwork Recovery "the virus" and just sits the with the clockwork Android/exclamation.

Clockwork does not answer emails.

Their Forum is full of people that like me are kind of nobbish and very mad that you can not restore the normal android partition.

Two questions anybody have any clue why the program does not work for me?

Failing that how to uninstall revert back to normal Nexus One configuration?

I seen somewhere where somebody says you download a file.

Run some commands from somewhere??? not sure where. I think if you find the the Android ADK you can connect you Nexus One to a computer, turn on some sort of terminal emulator "how?", type these commands from a promote in this emulator. THEY SAY THIS IS EASY ???

You know I live in Toronto I would pay somebody to revert my N1 to stock and not go through the hassle.

All this rooting stuff maybe nice, Titanium Back up, Shoot me, "Cool ROMs which I can not install with ROM Manager" but the education curve is not worth it in my book.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwig:
Did you click "flash clockwork recovery" at the top of the program?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
I did but it still does not work. Oh well tried to load CyanogenMod 6.0.0 said there was an error in recovery and it did not work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
I did but it still does not work. Oh well tried to load CyanogenMod 6.0.0 said there was an error in recovery and it did not work got the exclamation android again
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0kal:
Did you flash anything? Or just root and install Rom Manager?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Here are the steps......

Made sure I was rooted, ran a few apps that require root permissions.

Ran ROM Manager,

Flashed the latest Clockmod Recovery

Select Download ROM

Selected CyanogenMod 6.0.0 "I know it work well at least they say so here"

First time select backup current ROM, I did not go for a wipe, selected Google Apps addon.

Watched and it seemed to back up,

Rebooted but.... everything looked the same.

About phone, looked at Andriod Version 2.2 Baseband , kernal Build FRF91

see CyanogenMod nowhere.

Sucker for punishment opened ROM Manager and it asked me if I wanted to report an error "cancel" tried to install CyanogenMod again, it went staright to Andriod Guy/Exclaimation, hit up volume/power, rebooted.

Now whenever I try again I get Andriod guy/exclamation.

I think if I hit "fix permisions in ROM Manager", Flashed CLockwork recovery again .... I can go back to the first step above.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0kal:
Have you downloaded a rom off of xda and attempted to flash it through recovery?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
You can download ROMs from ROM Manager.

I downloaded them from ROM Manager.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
Is Rom manager listed under the allowed list under the superuser apps? And it doesn't seem like clockwork is properly loaded on the system, otherwise you would not see the android/with exclamation mark when you boot into recovery. You would see that the latest clockwork recovery is listed twice on the top of the phone. If you have both lines there, that means you have the latest recovery. If you are still having problems with the latest clockwork recovery to install, have you tried the earlier versions to see if they properly install on the phone?

From my experiences, you need to indeed wipe and install gapps to properly install any rom. Then use titanium backup to restore your apps and settings. Looks like you are already backed up/nandroid before doing so.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0kal:
Wipe first. My fault I didnt see that you ddint wipe
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
I know most people say when you download ROMs you need to wipe.

I know with Android this should not be a big deal, enter your Google info, the market downloads everything you paid for and then set up exchange mail again but it does take me a few hours to go through the steps and I been lazy.

Try a wipe......
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpjimmy:
No one said rooting would be easy lol. Customizing one's possesion, let it be a car to a phone is no real small feat. Like anything, you can go into detail as much as you want or not depending on why type of Rom you choose and like. For CM6, that ROM is excellent for customizing pretty much everything on your phone, but it does take some time to get it to your liking.

If you like a "kitchen sink" ROM, have you looked at eVilD's Sense ROMs? Well thats if you like the Sense UI's really, which I do not mind, but everything is thrown in there lol. BUT CM6 is a great launching pad for a novice, like I still am.
