I think the approach we have on mobile devices is different than we have on desktop PCs (Windows, Linux, whatever)

You don't need to bother about your data because the apps responsible for it handle it for you.

People like you and me who still want to have more access can download a File explorer from market so I don't really see a problem here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scottspa74:
I agree. It seems nuts to not have a built-in file explorer. (Especially coming from Windows mobile, which has a robust file system explorer)

I can only hope the omission is due to Androids open-source nature, figuring that different people will want to use different explorers available on the market, or even develop one themselves if none fit their likes.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonix232:
I can see both sides of this.

As a simple user, no file manager is needed - all file types can be easily edited. Just search on the Market, and you will get an app for reading eBooks, doc files, viewing powerpoint presentations or movies, listening music, recording sounds, editing stuff, etc.

As a modder, you need a proper manager what can go everywhere - and I found terminal emulator to be the best. You want to edit text files not found by any app, or edit /system, etc.

As a phone manufacturer, you want nobody to wonder into your system folders. Hackers will do it any way, but the normal user should not do that. I hate this angle of view, but it's HTC+Android (read: Google). Nokia, Samsung, Huawei, SE, and all the bigger manufacturers always made file browsers available (at a basic level), but I've never used the built in for more than a few minutes (to install another one).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] enigmatl:
Does anybody know of a good messenger for Android that is better than Palringo in the following ways?

- solid instant messaging

- push to talk style / walkie talkie style voice chat

- able to voice chat with users of other platforms

I would love what Palringo is supposed to be (and what it was on Windows Mobile) but it's just not getting any better on Android.

For now, I am using Tikl Touch to Talk and the Trillian beta. But Tikl doesn't support enough platforms (yet) and it doesn't save the voice messages from you and friends so you can play them back.

I heard Beejive JUST came out for Android. But paying $9.99 for a messenger kinda stinks especially when it too doesn't support all the platforms that friends of mine use. But, I would buy this one if I had to if someone would just tell me if it's "voice notes" feature feels walkie talkie style (do they play when you get them, is it pretty quick to send them? Does it FEEL like walkie talkie? Is it fast?)

So, any suggestions would be appreciated. I just want what Palringo was on Windows Mobile and Windows. Push to talk with history that virtually always works but feels like push to talk and not click to record, click to stop, click to listen). I would pay if I had to but would of course prefer a free app but any app that does things things would be greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know of such an app?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
Download TIKL for walkie talkie. Beejive is great even though the price is steep. I think with beejive you have to manually play vice memos. I don't use it for voice memos.

Been using Trillian and like it, the battery use seems good as it takes advantage of Google’s C2DM service...

I also like eBuddy; anyone know if it uses Google’s C2DM service also? Just wondering, C2DM should offer better battery, right?

FYI- I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but an updated version of Trillian was released yesterday (can't post links yet) w w w. trillian. im/get/android/
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] purav17:
Trillian doesnt use C2DM...It still runs in the background...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jten9:
You are right, Trillian definitely runs in the background...

I just was repeating what they mentioned in their blog-

http://blog.ceruleanstudios.com/?p=1612

It says there it uses C2DM. If it doesn't they should change that blog entry...

Try imo. The best one in my opinion, all the others always force close or sign you off our won't even let you sign on.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] morzinbo:
I prefer trillian beta for IM. I always keep the battery saving mode (which simply says that it polls less, not that it doesn't poll at all) on and still IM just fine. It's also one of the few free IM apps that does facebook chat decently.

eBuddy kept showing me contacts that I had either blocked or deleted a long time ago on msn for some reason.

imo.im decided to not allow me to see IM's from one of my contacts, and when i asked them about it, they ran me through the usual steps for troubleshooting apps: logout/login, logout then clear data then login, logout then clear data then uninstall then reinstall then login, but when it still didn't work they stopped contacting me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenodwarf:
So. I've got my Galaxy S configured to sync with my corporate exchange server.

Working quite good except for the fact that changes or events i put in through the phone don't get updated in outlook. The other way around, computer to phone works good, but not phone to computer.

Anyone know what i can do to fix it?

Is it possible to get better exchange support for android?

Another thing i just remembered is that notes that i make in the calendar entry don't make it over to the phone, only topic and location.

I really love this phone but i feel the exchange support is not as good as it could be.

Thankful for any input on the topic.

Hi

Not too long ago i tried to flash my spl to 2.8 in order to upgrade and flash some roms

Unexpectedly, it gave me some problems, so i want to try to re-flash the old spl and instead of sticking with winmo, i'll try to move on to android.

Is there a way to downgrade/flash back the old SPL?

[G2 and Desire Z General] xzxxzx:
Hi all,

I'm new to this site (and this stuff in general) and just have a question. I'm using an unlocked G2 in Canada and was wondering if I'll still be able to get the 2.2.1 update even if I'm not on the T-mobile network. Sorry, if this was already asked and thank you for your patience with my noob-ness. (I couldn't find this searching through google).

Edit: O geeze. Put the wrong number down for update. =_=;
[G2 and Desire Z General] Anomaly:
There is no official OTA yet. And you are already on 2.2, the update just does some small fixes/enhancements. As to whether you can get it, I would like to know as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Simple answer no. tmobile sends out the updates so if your not on there network you wont be able to get it as an over the air (ota) update
[G2 and Desire Z General] xzxxzx:
Would there be a manual way to get this update as opposed to OTA...?
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Yes, once the OTA hits someone will extract the link and host the update so that everyone doesn't have to wait for the OTA to roll out because TMo (and everyone else) pushes updates in batch form not all at once.

So yes you will be able to get it... just not in OTA form. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
There was a checkin code, people were using to manually check for updates, but I dont know if that works for anyone?

Once we get full root, and the update is sent to us, im sure someone will create a post. From there you can download and install it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] o>c:
I got my G1 in Hong Kong and not using T-mobile, but I was able to get OTA update to 1.1 and 1.5:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] xzxxzx:
Sounds awesome. Here's hoping it doesn't take until a full root inorder to extract the update. Thanks, makes me feel more hopeful. Tethering and Wifi calling would be nice to have...
[G2 and Desire Z General] krayshunist:
That isn't entirely correct. OTA updates to the OS are Google-managed and are sent out for T-Mobile's phones pending T-Mobile's approval.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Thats a lil off. 1.1 I understand that was sent by google to patch root. But 1.5 was all tmobile. Did u get 1.6 or u rooted after 1.5?

[Off-topic] chopper the dog:
My clearwire modem drivers came on a usb stick almost a year ago. But I am all for blaming apple for anything.

good day.
[Off-topic] homero25:
i now that this usb concept is perhaps not so new, but like you said everything that apple do is followed by many people and clearly has more impact than a small company.
[Off-topic] hungry81:
No its because of fools like the you and author providing and endorsing any and all misinformation crapped out by Apple, and not providing any critical comment. Wake up to your self. Apple are worse than self help fraudsters selling pseudo-intellectual / philosophical ideas that any mentaly competent person should already be aware of.
[Off-topic] KCRic:
:eek: Wow, that was decisive and humorous. However, I don't think he was endorsiing apple by his comment. I think he was trying to say that there are so many sheep following apple that when something apple claims is new or bleeding edge they buy it up like good little meerkats. Due to those large amounts of umm, apple clones, buying things it has an effect on the market thus causing the other vultures like media to jump in and "Praise Apple for thou art our savior". To quote Henery Ford - 'you can use anything with an apple product, as long as it's made by apple'. Wait, that's not how it went....:confused:

Anyway, apple will never get rid of the optical disk. In fact I doubt anytime in the near future it will be obsolete. The 'flash drive' is just not as stable as an optical disk, it's affected by a lot of different things (magnets, temp, static, so on). The technology industry likes to have permanent stable information media for things like a recovery, you don't want rw ability on that. The HDD, flash drive, and other magnetic storage can be backed up so stability is not as big of a factor, that's a sacrifice of having multiple re-write ability. Also, don't forget science produces new storage types, thus, technology has to wait for science which moves much slower forcing us to make do with what we have.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
Yeah, these articles are stupid. Apple releases a computer without an optical drive or CDs and THAT is why the CD is dead? F*** this biased media.

They've been releasing PCs like that with the software online for years. Apple isn't responsible for sh*t.

And everyone knows Shawn Fanning killed the CD.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slokii:
Dear Developers,

I saw already on the several web-pages that Desire does not support rSAP bluetooth profile, but I have not find out why.

Is this a software (firmware) or hardware issue?

If it is a soft/firmware issue, it would be a huge improvement of the Desire if someone would manage to include this bluetooth profile in some custom ROM. Why? Because rSAP profile is used for communication by almost all cars that are manufactured by Volkswagen AG (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat) and also some others. Also, rSAP should be more friendly for your health, as the car's outside antenna is used for making calls and therefore the radiation is lower.

Super Idea Google Translater... it translates into garbage.

It is NO problem to run WP7 on a HD2. The first testmachines HTC used for WP7, all were HD2's. I think that this knowledge is good.

Can you translate this correctly?

Done
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prinz069:

I don't think this will ever happen because HTC is more interested in selling new phones with WP7 natively then supporting "older and eldery devices"! Sorry people but we live in capitalism and so only the results count at the end of a quarter is important for a company ...!

Source to merge this mod in a CM7 ROM as an option :) github for Rom cooks

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just got merged..

If you want to get rid of the indicators -> PulldownMod_Indicators.zip

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statusbar PulldownMod for CM7 - HDPI works for nightlies after 3/24/2011 7:15am EST!!

- PulldownMod_HDPI_v1.7L.zip

- PulldownMod_HDPI_v1.7F.zip

Statusbar PulldownMod for CM7 - HDPI for RC2

As my power widget icons have been merged to cm7 already, I took them out of the morph

- PulldownMod_HDPI_v1.6F.zip

- PulldownMod_HDPI_v1.6L.zip

Statusbar PulldownMod for CM7 - HDPI works for nightlies after CM7 RC1 > #5 when Wimax been added!!

- PulldownMod_HDPI_v1.5L.zip

- PulldownMod_HDPI_v1.5F.zip

ATTENTION :):

- if you use my CyanbreadX, GreybreadX theme, or any other great t-mo theme out there, delete all stuff (png´s & xml´s) in all folders in the zip -> except: SystemUI/res/layout/.... !! As the themes got all you need already :cool:

- if you want MDPI version, just take the icons from PulldownMod_MDPI.zip and put it in. :)

Important: All layout edits are in SystemUI. If you dont want any other stuff, just take it out :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statusbar PulldownMod for CM7 - HDPI + MDPI works till CM7 RC1 !!

- PulldownMod.zip (for HDPI)

- PulldownMod_MDPI.zip

Update: PulldownMod_MDPI version :) added by @aikon96 (ported all png´s) Thanx!

revamped

- moved carrier name, added 3D text

- moved & edited clear button, added 3D text

- ongoing notification, fm.radio, download status text is white

- new icons

- new scrolling bar

- Included are Gingerbread styled icons:

How to:

- move "PulldownMod.zip" in /sdcard/...

- apply with MetaMorph and Nandroid before!

- you will get FC when applying SystemUI folder -> just reboot and all is fine :)

- it´s tested on Nexus One, so if it works 100% on other phones, let me know!!

- good thing is: what ever tmo-theme you apply, the PulldownMod should stay :) :cool:

- you can use this after every nightly but: if CM7 will get an update (probably it will get battery% in statusbar), I will have to update this, so stay tuned - *my Twitter*

.

-> Some notes where it works. (User experience - confirmed)

- LeoGingerBread

- Nexus S

- G2

- EVO

- Desire

- Incredible

- myTouch 4G

[Android Themes] rori~:
Those Morphs are outdated (exepct SysMonitor.apk :) ), but:

I´ll keep this here for some time, as some like cyan icons...dont apply it, just grab some icons, or backgrounds if you like before I remove it...

I.) NotificationPowerWidget & more... - CyanShadow for CyanogenMod 7.x

- GB_morphX.zip

- includes much more than previous for CM 6.1x and as I dont wanna do a thread for each single morph, I just share my crurrent settings..

- it´s not a complete CyanTheme, like this one.

- jog-dial, slider, battery, new bigger 3G/H..., WiFi, contact picture, dark bars, cyan overscroll shadow, progress bar.. (thanks to @Haxzamatic + @fitsnugly, took some png´s from you!)

- pulldown menu mod: moved "carrier name & clear button" in pulldown menu !!!!

- GB_morphXX.zip

- 2nd version Difference:

- removed carrier name (as it is anyway on the lockscreen)

- new clear button is at the bottom left and you can always scroll down.

II.) NotificationPowerWidget - CyanShadow for CyanogenMod 6.1x

- SysMonitor.apk

- NotificationPowerWidget_CyanShadow.zip

I could not wait ;) ....so here my morph.

This works only on CM 6.1!!

Update..

One can use that on lots of backgrounds, not blurry and cyan means "ON" :)

Apply with MetaMorph

For those who ask about the ongoing sys info:

It´s SysMonitor from the Market, get it there or download here a themed version.(I removed some white background)
