[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Since my last post I've tried my best to mimic your usage (i went way overboard on the texting, but thats good in this case). For the game, i chose to play Angry Birds for about 30 minutes. I also played a sht ton of WordFeud, since I cant go a day without dumping a lot of my time into that game. I browsed around on my browser and even downloaded some crap. Had WiFi and 3g on for most of the time.

So far im at 47%. I started at about 2pm and it's 2am now. Im going to sleep at 2am right now so there will be that idle time.

Edit: Just now woke up and I'm at 42%. Battery Indicator indicates that my phone has been on for 19 hours so far. Ava V9 + Netarchy's universal kernel may be the set up for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
well ive had it on for only an hour so far so good... thank you for your time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
No problem :) right now im at 5%...24 hours unplugged and 12 hours of wake time. Im beginning to think this is the best sense rom/kernel combo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
well its been unplugged for 7 hours and im down to 62% with not much usage. Im gonna let it die then recharge and hopefully it improves

my awake time is 1hour
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M@XLOL:
I don't really know what the problem is :/

Can you not find a charger within 16-18 hours?

Don't sweat the small stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh995:
16 hours is good, why not just plug it in when you're sleeping?

I can go a good 24-36 hours on a charge and I'm using the phone 100% original.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjozwia:
I charge it all the time, before i leave work, when i sleep, in the car if i have to, it just sucks the few times i dont get a chance to charge the phone and im out with friends and i cant even use the phone because its like once the screen is on its time for rapid battery drain. Last night i lost 15% in a 7 hour span of not using the phone once. I even have set cpu set to the lowest setting when the screen is off?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Thats what was happening to me at first. With the screen off I lost all the power but with it on, it was all good. Confused me, so i went into recovery and just wiped cache and dalvik...dont think it did much, but i just let the phone die. The next day, it seemed better, the day after that, a lot better. There are some kernels where you barely lose anything while the phone is sleeping...but with this one, its like the opposite for some reason. Which is kind of a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

Did a hard reset on both the windows 6.5 and android 2.2 and still his(Guy who sold it to)gmail account is default, would be very appreciative of any help, thx
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Delete the Android install from your SD card and copy a new one to it. That's the easiest way to remove a Google account from Android.
[HD2 General] tyrek04:
Should I do this with my phone LR plug my comp up and do it? Sorry for stupid question
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Well if you are going to copy a new Android folder to your phone, yeah you need to be connected to your PC to do so. I would read the stickies for more information on Android since it seems that you are a new user.
[HD7 General] Hampshire PDA:
It seems that you can't use Windows Mobile Device Center to sync from pc to HD7 phone, it has to be done via a hotmail/windows live account. I really cannot understand why many developers and the might of Microsoft deem it a wise move. Apart from security issues of putting lots of data in to the cloud, the process seems to be impossible to use efficiently. I am finding some contacts with a company name longer than a set number of characters will not fully sync, and there seems to be a limit to the amount of information for a contact. Is this really progress? Does anyone know of any third party apps which enable the sync between outlook and a WP7 phone? Even after the initial sync of contacts and calendar to my windows live hotmail account, which itself took ages, it seems a long while before any changes made on one appear on the other. I am seriously thinking of returning my HD7 - a great pity as WP7 seemed to promise so much. It is most certainly NOT aimed at the business user. Nokia, for all its faults, has a much better program for syncing a Nokia with Outlook, as does iTunes! Even Android has some degree of pc-phone syncing. Anyone got any helpful ideas?
[HD7 General] xma1e:
Have patience and give it a try. I too didn't like the new method but once I had pruned my contacts removing unwanted stuff from the notes field it did copy over.

I now have it set up using emails and calander from my exchange account, email from 2 hotmail accounts, with contacts comming from my main hotmail account i set up yesterday.

It was strange at first but I've converted quickly.

P.S just discoved the APPLICATION tab in SETTINGS where you can rename the live tiles too
[HD7 General] Hampshire PDA:
Thanks xma1e, I'm pleased to hear I'm not the only one to find it awkward. Do you know if there is a limit on the number of people you can have, and also what the limit on size of notes is?
[HD7 General] Mujja:
I thought I'd give the Windows Live services a try before moving all my emails and contacts from Google Apps.

I set up a couple of accounts on Windows Live Domains to replace my Google Apps accounts and the first hurdle I hit was not being able to setup an alias email address. Email from only one address (primary) can be received. Email forwarding can't be configured from the domain host because Windows MX servers are handling the email.

The 2nd issue, setting up calendar sharing would always fail. And this wasn't just with the new accounts, two test accounts I setup over a week ago were still failing when setting up calendar sharing between the two. So back to Google Apps for me.

The above issue weren't specific to me, Googling showed lots of users affected.

I might be going off topic but I'm annoyed MS are pushing "the cloud" eveywhere yet the features aren't complete or broken. What took me around 8 hours to setup and configure on Windows Live took 8 mins to change back to Google Apps which works 100%.

Also, if you do have shared calendars working on your Hotmail/Live accounts does the HD7 show them? An early beta review of WP7 by Pocketnow showed shared calendars not working.
[HD7 General] kougei:
Inability to sync Outlook from desktop is a massive oversight. Lots of people use Outlook as a PIM on the desktop, without an Exchange back-end. I have been anti-iphone for ages, I gave back my work-issued iphone as not fit for purpose, and bought the TD2 out of my own pocket, but have been anxiously awaiting the HD7.

Whilst the HD7 and Windows Phone OS is blowing me away, it's so quick, slick and easy to use, I am now trying to work out the best option for syncing Outlook automatically.

The standard option from the web, a 4-step sync between

a) Outlook - Google

b) Google - Windows Live in Outlook

c) Windows Live in Outlook - Windows Live Online

Is not an option because I am running 64-bit Outlook that google sync does not support. There are some 3rd-party options to investigate but these will all cost money.
[HD7 General] adrian-polglase:
As reply to kougei, I just had a quick scan of Google's website - are you sure about the Google Sync 64 bit Outlook incompatibility, this is what I read off their website...

I don't use Google myself, but I was just wondering whether you may have missed an update saving a lot of money and possibly frustration? :D
[HD7 General] Mujja:
Use Outlook Connector to sync between Outlook to Window Live if you don't need your data in Google.

Outlook Connector is part of the Window Live Essentials pack.
[HD7 General] DaWolfey:
If you have moved your own domain to Live as I have, what you have to do is create a new user that is the alias you want, then set that user to forward email to your primary address. That is what Microsoft tell you to do, and it works just fine.

To the OP - you're living in the past! It's all about the cloud now, move all your stuff onto the cloud.

If you move to the Live services (and you can put your own domain into Live for free) you benefit from all the syncing of calendars, contacts and email for no cost. Outlook has the Live connector which you use to push all your existing email, contacts and calendars to Live and then collects new email coming in.

In terms of delivery speed - if someone sends me an email I get it at the same time on my phone, Outlook, live web interface...

If you can't use the Live set of services for whatever reason, you can look at a hosted Exchange server. There are plenty of them about and will give you the best possible experience and integration with WP7, Outlook and web based email. One who I do not use personally but I have recommended to others who find it works perfectly (Though nobody I know who uses it is on wp7 yet, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work as it's just Exchange server) is mail2web, though it isn't free.
[HD7 General] Mujja:
I did setup a secondary account to forward email to the primary account. But I couldn't see an option to completely disable junk mail filtering so I could never be sure ALL email was forwarded to the primary inbox for me to filter. And with Live Mail's slow and unreliable POP3 importing from other accounts I didn't trust the secondary account to forward emails as soon as they arrived.

To make sure I was getting all my email from the secondary account I could have added the account to my mobile device but I wanted to keep things simple.
[HD7 General] kougei:
It looks like a Premiere account costs $50 a year,whereas standard free google calendar sync is definitely outlook 2010 32-bit only at the moment. I dont use any aspect of google services currently,so will look at other solutions rather than spending $50 every year.
[HD7 General] kougei:
Nope, all that does is allow you to see a view of windows live mail, contacts, calendar entities within outlook, and use them directly in outlook, in sync.

It does not sync or interact with the default outlook entities that are part of your local pst file.
[HD7 General] Mujja:
Google Apps Premier has a free 30 day trial. I've upgraded my wife's account to premier as she prefers to read her email in Outlook. The premier app sync email, contacts and mutiple calendars and even allows Outlook to display the mutiple calendars side by side.

However the OP wanted to sync Outook to Windows Live which can be done free using Outlook Connector instead of paying £40 for a Google Apps Premier account.
[HD7 General] Mujja:
You're right, forgot to mention that. But the OP can copy and paste all contacts and calendar entries from the local calendar to the live calendar in one go and from there sync to the phone.
[HD7 General] kougei:
I can live with manually maintaining contacts but i work dynamically with my calendar in local pst via meeting requests, etc. not practical to manually maintain a second calendar. Lets hope either microsoft or google release a free update soon.
[HD7 General] Hampshire PDA:
Others are finding the same problems as I am. It seems to update the contacts OK if I put a new entry or edit an entry in Outlook. But I am having to update the calendar manually. I really can't believe this is what Microsoft intend - does someone have a way of getting the calendar to sync as well please?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gravis86:
I really really want the CM messaging app on my G2. I know that I can't uninstall or replace the stock one, but is there a way to add in the one from CM and just use it instead?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] randomperson2:
Same here, I also wouldn't mind the CM browser as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dyndragon:
It would appear that we can't remove or replace system apps, and we can't install it as an "update" either because the certs don't match. I think the only way to deal with this is to compile your own Browser.apk with a completely different package name so Android doesn't see a conflict.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rumitg2:
along those lines would it be possible to somehow get the messaging.apk from MIUI to work on the G2?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Make sure your phone is powered down (remove then replace the battery if you have to), run odin, while holding both volume up and down buttons plug in the usb cable to enter download mode, flash with odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossover37:
Ya I did that. I get a failed message in red. I attached a picture showing what it shows me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j101399j:
hve you tried the one click odin tht takes you all the wy back, or is that what you show in the screen shot? You may want to try a different computer or try a master clear.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossover37:
I tried master clear, it says failed and then completed but it still won't boot up, the Galaxy S screen stays up while the S is flashing and then it goes black. If I press the power button the soft buttons light up but I can't see anything on the screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Hmm. And you are putting the phone in download mode (with the big yellow triangle and a shoveling bot pic) as opposed to recovery mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossover37:
Yes, download mode with the android shoveling that rock stuff
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Weird. The only suggestions I can think of then are, try running odin as admin, try using heimdall to flash.

Edit: if all that fails try a different computer and/or different USB cable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j101399j:
I agree, I have bricked my phone and was able to come back with Odin. Even try downloading it again. Heck try flashing froyo odin one click as well
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossover37:
DUDE YOU FREAKING ROCK!!!! THANK YOU!!! (I ran as administrator and it worked this time)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Nice. Glad you got it working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Word to the wise folks... disable any lagfixes before attempting to update. I had the same issue and had to Odin 1-Click to get it back to stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
I originally posted this over in the Vibrant forums but I thought I'd post it here too in case anyone was interested:
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
The Vibrant's display, like all of Samsung's S-Amoled displays, is over-rated. I compared the Vibrant next to my iPod Touch 4G, and next to my G2, and the Vibrant finished in 3rd place. A 4-inch screen like the Vibrant needs higher resolution, not just color richness. I could see pixelation from a mile away! But it does have a fast gpu, not that I've noticed anything but warp speed from my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
Some very interesting numbers.

The only thing I want to point out is that, AFAIK, the GPU doesn't affect your everyday experience with the OS at all. The GPU is only used in certain apps that need to use it; mostly that is games and doesn't affect the speed of things such as the browser, launcher, or anything else.

I remember reading a statement from Google awhile back where they said that using the GPU to accelerate the browser/launcher rendering was being considered, but it wasn't something they were actively developing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
I don't know if what you say about the GPU is true or not. I would speculate that it isn't true, since I can see no reason for disabling the GPU outside of specific applications. Even if it is true, I'm currently using LauncherPro so it may be calling on the GPU anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
From what I remember from the Google statement, they said the GPU isn't used because older phones (ie G1, myTouch 3G) have such crappy GPUs that they wouldn't be able to handle rendering the entire OS.

I'm trying to find the article. I'll post back if I do.

edit: this isn't exactly what I was referencing, but it says almost the same thing: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
I find the G2 faster and more reliable then my vibrant.

I dont have to root it. I dont have to 'lag fix it'. The GPS is SPOT on. It works out of the box with NO hacks.

Samsung cant say a thing before the above matches the G2.

Thats my opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
Too true!

I just fired up the GPS for the first time and not only did it get my location spot on, but it did so in about 7 seconds.

Although barring 2.2, GPS, and the Keyboard, I did kinda like the Vibrant better. I was smaller, lighter, and after Voodoo and OC it ran like a dream.
[G2 and Desire Z General] unxconformed:
The Vibrant definitely has a GPU advantage. I've noticed in games like Wreckless Racing or Nova the Vibrant is way smoother, on the G2 its sometimes choppy. In Quadrant, if you watch the fps numbers while the 2D and 3D tests are running, it is always almost twice the frame rate of the G2.

The G2 is quick, and I love it, but the two different platforms definitely shine in different areas.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i have to agree with this.

even tho. with the lag fix. the galaxy is running super fine for me. which is a plus.

the only reason i went with galaxy s over g2 is the screen.

i am in love with the super amoled black level and colors. some people may not agree with me and love the G2 screen more or iphone 4 screen more. but to each has his own i guess
[G2 and Desire Z General] borodin1:
I went with G2 because it has track pad and LED light. Neither one of them worked like they should so what's the point.

Waiting on MyTouch HD, if I don't like that - will pick up Vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
Yeah the trackpad kinda blows. The only thing I use it for is precise cursor placement when I'm editing text (or copy/pasting).
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
What else would you use it for?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
Well I suppose your could use it to scroll through homescreens, menus, and web pages. Just navigation in general. But I find that I keep hitting the mEnu button on accident all the time. Plus it's not quite as sensitive as I would like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Interesting.

I just use the touchscreen for that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ghostwheel:
Sorry, I was wrong. All seems to works ok. 1956 in search video. Cool!

My mistake was that I didn't follow the directions to the end. I rebooted, cleared cache, but I didn't delete the directory

/data/data/com.android.vending/

Hi,

I was trying to create a hacked Market app (Vendor.apk) for the newly upgraded market - the one that allows you to autoupdate and to see comments in a different tab.

The hacked version I found that fake the screen size all still use the old version.

I followed the directions in the tattoo thread,

post on how to hack Vendor.apk:

unzipped the apk,

unpacked classes.dex (java -jar ~/Downloads/baksmali-1.2.4.jar classes.dex)

then went through the diffs described in that thread, and found in all files something similar to what was described in the original thread:

com/android/vending/model/DeviceConfiguration.smali

com/android/vending/model/DeviceConfiguration.smali

com/android/vending/model/DeviceConfiguration\$ScreenLayoutSize.smali

then repacked classes.dex, zipped to create an apk. The program works, but

it still seems to look only for small screen devices (the old hacked Vendor.apk managed to find more)

So now I'm not sure how to proceed. Did anyone manage to hack the new Vendor.apk? Or does anyone have a suggestion of how to find what else I need to change?

Hi,

I'm new here so please forgive me it i post an already known issue.

I flashed my sgs using KIES with the registry trick. Since installing froyo the calling function of my phone got stuck 2 times. It shows the green active call icon and on opening the call interface it is all gray, no button klickable. I think it happens when both people talking finish the call at the same time. Switching to flight mode does not work and i cant place an other call. Rebooting the Phone helps.

I hope maybe someone has an idea how to fix it other than don't finish call and wait for the other end.

Thanx in advance for your help!

Hi all!

I'm looking for a long time for this simple function:

I would like to have an app, that uses TTS (text to speech) to read out a just received GTalk message.

I found a lot of apps that can read SMS text messages. But i use GTalk more than SMS.

Am I blind? Is it to easy? I can't find a solution for that... :confused:

Any suggestions?

btw: i'm using htc magic with cyanogenmod 6 atm.

Thanks!

Nobody?

Too easy or to difficult?

There has to be some way, that Android is reading my GTalk messages while i'm riding the bike and listening to music...

P.S.: Best i found until now is to activate "talkback". Pro: it reads incomming GTalk msgs, con: it reads EVERYTHING... :-/

[General Questions and Answers] sim.aguirre@gmail.com:
This is more of a question or suggestion for developers. I've always had this thought and wondered why no one has implemented it yet? The big deal lately is all around Android Tablets, so I ask myself, why doesn't someone develop an accessory that turns any Android phone into a tablet. Ok, here's what I mean, I have an HTC Evo and love the phone, but oft times I find myself wanting the new Galaxy Tab by Samsung. Then when I think of it, the Galaxy Tab is basically a phone with a bigger screen. So why can someone design and sell a multi-touch screen that has a slot and connectors on the back that I could slid in my Evo and everything that would appear on my Evo's screen now appears on the larger screen. Now my Evo is a Tablet with all the access to the all the apps and functionality of the phone, it's just using a bigger screen.

The external screen would also have to contain a front camera but could use the rear camera and flash LEDs of the EVO if you left them exposed. Another option would be to include a battery in the larger screen for longer battery life.

What do you thing?
