[General Questions and Answers] Heartwire:
Hey people,

I'm having issues syncing playlists from my computer to my phone.

Been searching all over the net for a proper solution but no luck with this.

Here's my issue;

Basically when i sync playlists from my PC to my phone, it saves the playlists on my phone as .PLA format.

Now the only player that actually reads those playlists is my stock player.

I have tried several android players, but non of them will recognize the playlists.

On my PC for syncing i have tried

-WMP

-Winamp

-MediaMonkey

-DoubleTwist

All of these create playlists in PLA format on my device when transferring them, which wouldnt be a problem if i wanted to use the stock player.

As for android apps/media players i have tried:

-Cubed

-Winamp

-Mort Player

-Media PlayerPro

-Mixzing

-Astro Player

When i create a playlist using any of the apps on my phone, every other app is capable of reading them.

However, the playlist file can not be found on my phone, or my SD card. so i have no clue what format they are saved to, or where they are saved too.

I'm basically looking for a way to transfer my playlists from my computer to my android phone, and have the other apps actually read the playlists.

The phone im using is the Samsung Galaxy S.

Been trying to work this out for days now, but with no success what so ever.

So if there is anyone that has a clue on how to get this done properly, id appreciate it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] silverchris:
Are there any kernels or roms for the 32A HTC magic that have ipv6 support and wifi tethering? I have been searching around and have yet to find one that claims to have ipv6.

The reason is I want to try out google goggles, but it fails to run saying I have a unsupported kernel config due to missing ipv6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] formicae:
Bump? I asked the same question in the dev forum, nothing yet.
[Android Software Development] pilgrim011:
I don't think this is something we should worry about.

First, Android is open-source and many enthusiasts give their applications free of charge, which is not the case with Apple's closed OS. That is why about 65% of all apps in Market are free, and only 35% paid. In Appstore, about 70% are paid, only 30% free. Statistics: http://androidheadlines.com/2010/09/app-store-vs-android-market-how-much-is-paid-for.html.

Secondly, you'll find that Market currently supports purchases in only 13 markets while the App Store does so in 90. These numbers will change as time passes by and more markets will be included, but I'm sure that Android will always be a platform with much more free apps than iOS, and that's the beauty of Android.:)
[Android Software Development] shinji257:
As far as I'm aware the developers have a say regarding that 24 hour refund policy. An application can be made to be non-refundable if they choose to.
[Android Software Development] MagickalShadow:
In comparing developers for iOS and Android, you have to also look at who they are individually. Sure, there are many apps developed across the board for all mobile devices, but I think the core of the Android Market are individuals who develop apps just for the sake of developing apps. They enjoy what they do and they would do it regardless of profit.

Of course you have a few that try to make money, but I believe they are the exception rather than the rule.

I mean no offense when I say this, but I believe that the iPhone attracts a very different type of user than Android does. Most people I personally know that use the iPhone do so more out of status and pretentiousness than its own usefulness. Many do not even know the majority of things they could do with the iPhone. Those I know who use Android use it because they root it and do their own modifications, overclocking, etc.

With this in mind, I believe that Android apps are generally created by a different kind of developer for a different kind of user.
[Android Software Development] BrooklynAvi:
We have absolutely no say in whether or not out apps are refunded. If I showed you the numbers of instant refunds you'd puke. And the OP states $200 million to $5 million which is ridiculously off. I believe Google just reported that they passed $1 billion in sales (profit) from the Android Market. Either way, it's way more than $5 million a month.

All that said I personally am happy with what I have been able to do with the Market. I expected a little better on my most recent app but it takes time for people to get word of a new app. That's pretty much the problem I've found. It's hard to get noticed. But I still think it's pretty good. There is a lot I absolutely hate about the Market and a bunch of things I like about it. I'd still rather develop for Android and ironically, none of the apps I have created would even work on iPhone. Two are root apps and one requires a modification of the browser which is not allowed on iPhone (for no apparent good reason, I might add).
[Android Software Development] maximillion82:
I am glad to hear that this isn't as big of an issue as I read online, it would be sad to see a great plattform to be hurten, as you can see with the WebOS.

As for not getting recognized, a few tips I have about that is not to rely too much on people finding your app in the market, but rather advertise it yourself, use your facebook and twitter and even this forum (if the forum policy allow that, I am not sure on that again since I am not a developer). I love the QR codes, I actually see many of them in bathroom stalls and other places, and I always check on them since it's in my curiosity to find out where they get me.
[Android Software Development] Anderdroid:
I'm making an extra living off paid apps on the Marketplace.

Oh, and an extra living off free apps with Admob.

So now I'm making 3 livings worth. It's wonderful. I have no complaints.

You're forgetting about Droid users. You'd be surprised how many people own an Android just for status and pretentiousness. It goes both ways. I even know a few people with Androids that don't even know that they have an Android.
[Android Software Development] madwifi:
Wouldn't that mean closing the source? Or you think people will use opensource platform that only runs free apps over opensource platform that runs both?

I don't think I want closed source OS on my phone, if I did I'd probably use iPhone.

Pirates do buy software sometimes, how do you think it gets to P2P networks in the first place? One of them buys it, his friend cracks it and everyone else gets it 4free.

So it wouldn't solve anything, removing the refund would only make legit customers angry if the app doesn't work.

I thought google did hire developers and they do create free apps. I don't think competing with appstore is their ultimate goal though, since appstore and iphoneos are completely closed.

Charging for services is something I agree with completely.

They should indeed make certain (not all) services cost money. But they should also keep the software free and open to ensure the quality.

It was much easier and faster because apple paid someone to make it easier and faster.

I'm not so sure google is willing to invest money into closed source software, especially when you consider these 3 facts.

1. Closed source software has a limited amount of developers who are working to make it better, faster and more efficient.

2. More developers on a single project means more features, more bugfixes and faster development.

3. Opensource software in general is more secure because everyone can see the source code.

As I don't like being labeled, I think marketing should be focused on pushing Android for everyone, not just specific groups of people.

User knows what works best for him so let him decide what to buy. Wide selection of devices that share the base operating system is great, but user should decide what type of software he wants to use, not google nor apple.

User should also decide what type of service he wants to use and whether that service is free or paid.

Changing the look of Android to make it more simple is something I'd personally hate, but we should always have options.

It would be great to flash an extremely simple android OS for my grandmother's phone for example, while keeping my VNC and SSH on my own device.

Also, don't think there's much difference between android users and iphone users, they're just people anyway. And there's an equal amount of pirated iphone apps and android apps.

Only real difference is about the OS, where one offers you a choice and another forces you to pay and develops restrictions instead of new features.

I don't think there is an issue, devs get paid from pushing ads, users are happy with a wide selection of apps. Some services are free some services cost money. Just my 2c

[Fascinate Accessories] mailaliasgar:
I just got my fascinate yesterday and I'm loving it. However, I did find the lack of persistent backlighting on the touch sensitive buttons to be an issue at night.

I saw these glowing stickers for a keyboard on thinkgeek was thinking if we could use something similar for the fascinate.

Any ideas/suggestions/comments/potential drawbacks?
[Fascinate Accessories] adrynalyne:
I'd imagine they would hamper the capacitive buttons from functioning.
[Fascinate Accessories] Dhuss:
If I am not mistaken I believe the glowing effect generally comes from reflecting the light from your monitor. I don't believe this would work the same on the phone....if you were in fact using it in a dark room.

Only a theory.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJG2:
Is it possible to change the color scheme of the menus and the status bar etc? I came from the G2, and I really like the clean stock green/black on white background look, especially on the status bar. I know you can probably do this by rooting and installing another Tom, but I dont want to root, as i just recently got my vibrant and want to keep the warranty. Is there a way to change the color scheme/theme without rooting? Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
Short answer is No. I know you stated you don't want to root due to the warranty but keep in mind you can unroot your device and put it back to complete stock if you need warranty work. To make the changes your requesting, root is a requirement.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJG2:
I thought that they still have a way of checking if you rooted the device, even though you unroot it. When I had my Nexus One before, I was told that I needed to unlock the bootloader to root, and there is no way to hide/change that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
The Vibrant is different. If you are rooted and say flash a different firmware you actually lose root and have to reroot all over again so no worries.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJG2:
I see. So there there is a way to get rid of all evidence of root. :)

Looks like the only downside to root now is the chance of bricking your phone.

Now that you clarified, I think I think I'll give it a try and hopefully root sometime next weekend when I have time. What is the best way to change the color scheme if I have root?

Install a theme, an app, or change roms (What's the best rom for the stock android with look by the way?)?

Hi there :) I’m even scared to write… ;)

Newbie Noobie here. Greetings!

Got myself a birthday present a few days ago – HTC Desire.

If it helps, here are the details:

======

Firmware version: 2.2

i rooted my phone and then followed the steps to install custom rom

Anyway, here’s my problem (there were posts about it before as well).

Once I reach point 5 in Step 2 [i.e. Turn off your phone & turn it back on holding POWER + VOL DOWN then use vol up/down to scroll down to ‘Recovery‘ and power to select.] after I click ‘Recovery’ my screen either stays white with the green HTC logo or just goes black – in either case, that’s it… nothing happens and no buttons work.

The first time it happened I almost got a heart attack (well, which noobie didn’t?) because I thought I’d just bricked my baby… Right now it is still the only way for me to do ANYthing after getting the black screen…

Any suggestions/help will be more than welcome! Thanks in advance!!!

(And sorry for the long post… I always need long intros and all the details listed to make myself as clear as possible)

Please do help me

i am nearly crying while typing it

email me the response

cheers

Raj

okay so i tried a million times to repartition in odin and cant.. now matter how many times i do its the same... i want to repartition because i been having rotation issues ever since i flashed eugene's jpm froyo, with auto rotate issues... now what ever rom im on the rotate is all jacked.. tried going back to stock no root but it wont repartition wich is what i think (or hope) will fix this problem.

any ideas??

I don't have the reason why you can't partition, but mabey try wiping cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions in clockwork. Worth a try if you have not already.

I was told about an app called PingChat! yesterday from a friend using an iPhone. So I downloaded it for my Xperia X10 Android phone. Whilst it works fine, I cannot find any way to send picture smilies? I've been looking on their website, all over the net and yet I can't seem to find the answer.

I found an app that is meant to give you smilies, so I wrote my message in that and copy and pasted it into the PingChat! app and I just had a load of misunderstood characters (squares)

Am I missing something really stupid here? As some might know, the X10 is running 1.6 firmware, so this could possibly be the problem if all else fails.
[Fascinate General] mattstakilla:
I have been messing around with CWM after having to restore from messing up voodoo, was getting a bunch of force closes. voodoo was removed and my backups weren't working properly. I believe it was because the backup was made with voodoo still installed.

So what I ended up doing was going back to a backup that I had made before I did voodoo and removed all the bloatware. I have been reinstalling all my programs and I tried making a backup before putting voodoo and all my apps back on to have a clean backup.

The backup came up with an error about not being able to back up programs. Forget what it said exactly. So I decided to test it out. I installed some programs I didn't want and tried restoring the clean backup I had just made. But the programs were still on the phone. I thought the backup would put it back to the original clean backup. It changed the wallpaper back, but the programs were still there.

So I guess my questions are this....

When making a backup and restoring a backup, should I always disable voodoo first?

What am I doing wrong with the CWM thats not making it backup the apps I have installed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
You cannot use CWM restore or create a backup with Voodoo installed.

must have been becuase I didnt disable voodoo before backing up

Hey guys!

So the file that has been extracted from the Desire roms has been floating around the forum, which lets the clock flip whenever the time changes, but not when the phone is unlocked.

I am running JT_DesireZ_Beta 1.1, and the flip clock that is in this particular rom flips whenever the phone is unlocked. I have fallen in love with this, and was wondering if this is possible in any other Sense UI rom!

Thanks for any input!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
The one I'm using with Calukin's ROM flips when it's unlocked... I didn't realize there was one that didn't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImmortalLuD:
Yeah, his do that by default because they're built into the rom.

If you try adding those to any other rom, they won't flip when unlocked. :) If you run any other sense roms, try it out.

I have two different .zip files for the clock, but they're both identical in size... I couldn't find anything else out by searching.

[Captivate General] Lee1733:
Quite impressed but I agree with the author - instead of focusing on putting out faster processors that barely make a difference with the apps that we have, they should really work on increasing battery life. If the 2ghz makes the battery last a shorter time than my Captivate then it just isn't worth it. I'd much rather have the same specs we have now but with a battery that can last 2 full days with normal use instead of one. I'm not saying I'm unhappy with my current battery life, it easily gets me through a day, but I'd prefer to only charge every other day if the option was there.

This speculation looks cool, but even if it is "real" it would most likely be push back to like Q4 of 2011, Honestly Samsung has pushed back Froyo so much. Those stats look great but they really need to work with their software to enhance android OS for their Hummingbird CPU architecture. The snapdragon Cpu is so enhanced with Froyo, hopefully Gingerbread... hopin... the actual device looks great though. I like the slate design.

[Captivate General] \/icious:
As far as bettery life is concerned I doubt it will make a huge impact. From what I've read the dual core designs don't really require much more power than their single core counterparts so I imagine they would have a 2ghz CPU designed similarly in efficiency. I'm with the idea though that it sounds like overkill but if you put the hardware out someone will find a way to use it. With this phone being as fast as it is ill imagine ill be able to ride out my contract with it no problem. I like having the latest and greatest but if nothing really takes advantage of it before the next Gen comes out its not worth it. It is amazing to see the strides these smartphones are taking.
[Captivate General] stuff:
Cool. But it's so worthless.

the 1ghz hummingbird processor is fast enough for EVERYTHING.

And the design.. it's nothing special. All these phones are looking for and more alike (iphone shape-ish). They need to create something a bit more fancy.
[Captivate General] \/icious:
I must say I think the captivate it one of the best looking phones out.
[Captivate General] BodaciousDrake:
Agreed. I want to buy the Otterbox case when it comes out, but I really don't want to cover up the phone's good looks with it. The checkering on the back cover looks really great. And it's so slim! This is a dilemma of great proportions.
