My Son :) The colic followed the natural history of colic and resolved :) He's awesome!

Mobile phones have been capable of 'good enough' photography for quite some time (N82 Q4 2007, really even the N95 before that is virtually as good as many out there now), so for me it become an important part of the whole a long time ago. I think many people who have always owned WinMo phones/Blackberries/pre-iPhone4 iPhones are genuinely ignorant of how good cellphone cameras have been for some time now. I'm just waiting for an Android with a truly good camera, rather than one that is just good enoguh, perhaps the upcoming Altek Leo could fit the bill? If I could just have a Galaxy S with a better file system and a camera like the N8 I'd be happy...
[Desire HD General] Beards:
Ahh Son, my apologies. Glad to hear all is well. :)

Yes, the N8 was/is a great phone camera, my Daughter had one and I remember fondly the shots it took.

I'm keeping my SGS, despite it's filesystem, lagging, GPS, Wifi it still takes very good shots, especially in low light which as you know fully is down to it's low f-stop (the N8 too had a low 2.3 f-stop).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lqbweb:
I have been looking for the way to decompile /system/framework/framework.odex, modify something, compile it back (with smali), and integrate it into the phone... The first time (what an innocent :o) though it may work, but of course it didn't.... Finding why not, i came up with the fact that all the dependencies in the bootclasspath needs to be reverified and reoptimized when any of them is changed, now the question is: how to do that?

and a second question, if I mess something up with any of those files, Will i still having access to the adb console to fix it back?

Thanks,

P.D: any bibliografy or something to keep an eye on will be welcome...

[Galaxy Tab General] Whoareyou:
Alright, my local news relesed tthese prices for the Galaxy Tab:

$400- Galaxy Tab

$30 per month- 2GB model

$60 per month- 5GB model

AND IT HAS A FRONT FACING CAMERA!!!

Sent from my HTC Espresso, that is apperantly a failing device using the XDA App
[Galaxy Tab General] mi7chy:
I was previously excited about the Sprint Samsung Tab as it would add ebook capability with the larger display to the Epic 4G's extensive repertoire but they had to ruin the device by removing the voice capability. Furthermore, data is limited to 3G only (no 4G) and the data plans, even with unlimited texting, at $29.99 for 2GB and $59.99 for 5GB are not competitive with the +$10 more $69.99 Everything Data 450 plan which includes more such as unlimited 3G data, mobile-to-any mobile and 450 landline minutes. Instead of carrying just one device with bluetooth headset you now have to carry two due to Sprint's bad decision to castrate the voice feature. What was once a gotta have device is now a maybe.
[Galaxy Tab General] uniquenameevo:
If I could add it on my family plan and it had 4G, I would line up for it.
[Galaxy Tab General] eck0728:
I would have to agree the phone thing does kinda suck, but think about it.. youre going to carry around a 7" tab holding it to your face to make a phone call? I mean at that point, geta headset that has a built in mic and use skype or some other phone app and just use 3g or wi-fi. As far as txting... GOOGLE VOICE, problem solved free txting.
[Galaxy Tab General] mi7chy:
As mentioned previously I would use a bluetooth headset with the Samsung Tab, its speakerphone or even hold the thing up to my head because I don't care what others think. Sprint had the opportunity to seize the opportunity to be different from the other carriers and to substantially increase subscriber count but they had to castrate a critical voice feature and got greedy with the tiered data plans. They were counting on repeating the success of Evo and Epic with the Tab but it's going to fizzle. I predict most will either opt to hold out for price drop on WIFI-only Tab without contract, go Ipad or go with other cost competitive options.
[Galaxy Tab General] eck0728:
Basically they didn't want this to be a big phone, its a TABLET, say it with me TABLET PC not an over sized smart phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] mi7chy:
Brain dead thinking. In the end it's driven by customer demand and not by what Sprint think is best. Plus, if they had left voice capability in, those that want it will have it and those that don't can ignore it.
[Galaxy Tab General] eck0728:
Well seeing as how every US carrier is removing voice from the GT its not really fair to bash Sprint
[Galaxy Tab General] mi7chy:
A possibility for voice is to get an unlocked GSM version of the Samsung Tab and use with T-Mobile SIM and their $59 unlimited data+text plus 500 talk plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] dboppc130:
My first post with a question in 2 years!

To start - xda really kicks butt and I can't thank the senior guys enough for all their help and knowledge!!

IMHO The US carriers are taking the voice capability away to make you pay more by having to have 2 devices with 2 plans. Money, that's all there is to it.

My question - Can I take the AT&T SIM card out of my HTC Aria and put it in an unlocked SGT and have it work as a phone? Are there any drawbacks to this? I have a grandfathered plan with unlimited data and I'd like to hot swap the SIM card between the two devices. Can AT&T find out that i'm doing this and turn my SIM card off?

Thanks guys

PS - Hope this is an appropriate place to put my question. I know how upset guys get when you put your questions in the wrong post.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
i recon youre deep in tinsel hat territory :)

a more likely scenario would be sammys interest in selling as many devices as possible without relying on those ultracompetative us mobile providers

more than likely the market will be flooded with all sorts of versions globally in a few months and you will be able to buy unlocked versions accross all bands as well as castrated ones

sammy is definitely spreading its wings this year!
[Desire HD General] JamesHalfpenny:
Hi,

Looking for a Desire HD as my first Android Handset; jumping the iPhone ship because I'll be honest, I'm getting bored with how closed it is. So I'm looking for a handset only Desire HD, but not the official SIM free supplied on Amazon, play etc; would prefer a network locked Vodafone UK handset. Has anyone found anywhere cheaper for such a handset? (Except eBay, I really don't trust it).

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
pretty sure the only way to get just the handset is to buy it outright and simfree.

the alternative is to go on a plan and pay for the handset as part of the plan

im really not to sure what you are asking you cannot buy a 'locked' handset cheaper you can only get it sim free or on plan
[Desire HD General] JamesHalfpenny:
I was more thinking along the lines of a pay as you go handset, but not to worry.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
i dont think high end handsets are usually offered as a payg or prepaid well at least thats the case here in australia.

i use prepaid but i just buy simfree when its time to upgrade you can generally sell the handset then add another couple hundred and get the new one
[Desire HD General] nsayani:
Got mine from three for £450 and the first batch appear to be network unlocked.
[Desire HD General] andythilo:
I got mine on Saturday from Phones4U for £445-00.

As much as I hate that shop, most of the handsets there are unlocked as they can give a wider choice on networks.
[Desire HD General] dingdong3000:
Were they willing to sell it to you on PAYG nicely or did they try force you on contract? I doubt they'll have any stock in London..
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
I went to a phones 4 u in Oxford street London yesterday and they was going to sell me it on payasyougo for 450, and they had it in stock.
[Desire HD General] nsayani:
My two local stores wouldn't sell it on PAYG only on contract as they had limited stock despite advertising it in the store display as available on PAYG. Another store about 30 miles away had plenty of stock and had no issues selling it without a contract.
[Desire HD General] bigtin:
P4U at the MetroCentre refused to sell me one without a contract, CPW 15 feet away from it were willing to sell theirs @ £495 - more than I wanted to part with so I've took out a contract anyway direct with Vodafone. Roll on delivery time.
[Desire HD General] Alize:
I went in 11 phone shops in Norwich, Carphone Warehouse was the only one of them to have ANY in stock (they had 2) and would ONLY sell on contract.

Now i'm stuck in an 18 month contract as I couldn't wait any longer :P I wanted to buy it sim-free but had no other choice....but wait....f that...

Dear all members,

For the new market, there is a new function in every apps whereby you can click on an option called "Auto updating"?

Anyone know how it works?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lildic:
how to update market???
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] chongbh:
You just have to browse the apps in market for a while and it will auto update by itself, you should see the android market logo changes to the new logo.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lildic:
will see

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mnm372:
I'm not sure about the logo as i don't remember how the old one looks, but i already have auto-update feature now. To do so, you just have to go to downloads, tap on any app you have downloaded previously then you will see a checkbox "allow automatic update"

that will do it. hope it works for you
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Make sure you have setup Gtalk. Dont know the technical specs but without Gtalk you market will not work.

you can install the new market manually with this apk:

I had to press Update All if I had multiple updates.
[Vibrant General] kmfisher:
There is a critical bug in JI6 with the SyncManager and Exchange Push synching. Periodically it will turn into a run away process while synching. The process will get stuck downloading and uploading over 3G.

It is critical because it makes the phone very hot to the touch, rapidly drains battery, and uses a lot of data. The process will not stop until the battery is dead. It happened last night to me, and from a 100% charged battery, I woke up to 5% while on the charger and a critical low battery warning. Looking at T-Mo's data tracking, it used 60MB of data.

Has anyone else had this issue? Where can I officially report this issue to T-Mobile/Samsung?
[Vibrant General] h666:
I've seen a similar issue, and don't know a way around it.

I thought you might be on to something, and you are, certainly.

I turned off sync for email this morning, saved my settings, hit home, killed all running processes, and returned to the settings to double check, and none of the settings had taken. I repeated this process thinking maybe I missed the "save" the first time around, and yielded the same results.

So... I deleted the corporate email acct. saved my settings, hit home, killed all running processes, and returned to the settings yet again, and noticed it had restarted itself with no account to sync.

I have no advice on how to solve this, I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus. Maybe someone smarter than both of us know of a solution.

To note: Odin JI6 flash, JI2 modem, Bionix Fusion 1.1 ROM, 2G only, all DRM .apk's removed via root explorer, all sync to manual, and 1 hour off charger, down to 76% from fully charged. My opinion? Vibrant firmware fail.
[Vibrant General] kmfisher:
My solution so far has been to kill the running process for the SyncManager, and then go launch Email and hit refresh. That tends to fix it until the next time it runs away.

Here's how I identify it:

1. 3G logo constantly has upload and download arrows turned on.

2. Phone gets hot.

3. No email is received.

I can work around the battery use. The big concern to me is the data use. It is simply a waste of data and I don't want to hit the 5 GB limit.
[Vibrant General] joelcripes:
I have the same issue. I thought I had fixed it a couple days ago because it didn't happen for two days. I had taken out the battery for about ten minutes. But this morning it did it again. It seems to happen alot immediately after being taken off the charger. Although that's not the only time it happens.

We really need a solution to this as you have to babysit your phone at all times to make sure it's not going berserk and draining your battery.

Joel
[Vibrant General] h666:
I re-setup my corporate account with neither the security or accept all certificates options set, and it's not as bad. I.E. battery usage down to reasonable drain and phone no longer hot to the touch. My IT guy theorized that since it's checking for SSL it could get stuck in a loop, and runaway.

<shrugs>

In the meantime I found a 3500 battery/new back on ebay and clicked buy now. :)
[Vibrant General] joelcripes:
So has anyone found a fix for this problem yet?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francismi:
Hi,

I have a big problem with my nexus one phone. The battery life of my phone is very bad (only 12 hours, with NO (app) USE! (only text messaging!))

I think the problem is that when I check "Battery Use", the "Android OS" is getting 70% (and more, up to 93%!) of my battery use...

What can I do? I've seen other topics with this problem, but there is always a special app that's the problem. I've reseted my phone several times, so no new apps installed, and I still have the problem...

But sometimes, "Android OS" isn't running in the Battery Use, only the "Android System"... But once Android OS has started, it climbs up to 70-80-90%... Help?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
It's clearly some program you have installed, start killing stuff or removing stuff one by one to see what it is.

All else fails, factory reset and start over.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francismi:
Thanks for your answer,

but I've tried all of this, I have already done a factory reset (already 2 times!), but the problem stayed... Are there any know problems with android 2.2.1 running on a nexus one? Could flashing another rom solve the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
Okay I've done hardcore Googling before deciding to post this. I've tried all possible solutions such as... (do note that I can't recall all setting menus' name exactly as it is lol)

1. Use ChompSMS as the stock Messaging app. seems to keep dialer active after sending a text (Hero CDMA reference)

2. Disable "Use wireless location" under "Location and Settings" as it will anonymously find my location even if no application is in use(that I can see anyway)

3. Disable Google services to get my location at any time.

4. Disabled "Use network automated settings" for "Date and Time"

5. Rebooted my phone. left it there without any battery for a good hour. turned it on again.

note: I'm on a fresh flash after factory reset, cache reset and sdcards formatting to be sure.

Mods if it means anything:

Root(with 2e recovery and busybox 1.17.1)

Battery mod (version E for JP6)

applied speed tweaks(from hardcore on XDA) via RyanZA's OCLF application off the market

okay i think that's it. lol. can't think of any others that could POSSIBLY be the cause of this.

I didn't have any issues at all BEFORE syncing my music/pictures, but it makes no sense to me how it'll be a factor. If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be grateful. Thanks!

I am on a T-Mobile contract, most connections seem to work okay but my Browser goes nowhere, just keep getting page unavailable, even for Google.co.uk

Can anyone part some advice on the settings to cure this, thanks in advance.
[Desire HD General] andy2111:
I had the same problem, although I am on O2 in the UK (not T-Mobile like you).

I found that the APN details used when the phone automatically sets up the O2 connection were incorrect.

i recommend you Google the correct settings and then set up a new APN (do not overwrite your existing one), then set the new one to be default and try again.

You might have to kill your browser (or restart your phone) for the changes to take effect.

This link talks you through the procedure but you will need to substitute the correct APN values for TMobile... http://mobileguide.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=651&tab=8&step=2&settingId=3203 the web page is for the original Desire but the process is the same for the Desire HD
[Desire HD General] t-pip:

thanks for that unfortunately when I get to...

'Menu' button

New APN

Nothing happens, there is no option, actually there's nothing at all, I'll have a scout around the web now I have some pointers to go by.
[Desire HD General] t-pip:
There should be a black screen, you then press the Menu button at the bottom of the screen (as in Home, Menu, Back and Search).
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Yes I understand that, but when i press the menu button to setup a new APN nothing happens, I have restarted it and it still does the same thing.
[Desire HD General] t-pip:
Odd.

It worked for me. Sorry about that.
[Desire HD General] StellaDel:
Got it, I had the option to select predefined networks...

Mobile World

Talk Talk Mobile

Utility Warehouse

So I selected Mobile World, pressed the 'menu' button and then I had the option to create a new APN, entered your setting and all works fine now, thanks for your help. :)

Perhaps accessing the Google Market is through a particular port that is not supported/allowed by your 3G provider.

For example I was recently in the UK and purchased a prepaid Vodafone SIM. I later found out that sending email through POP was not allowed by Voda.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sssp:
I dropped my phone from about 3.5 feet, and ended up cracking the oled screen.

In the process of replacing the screen, I broke the ribbon connection for the digitizer.

After I replaced both, I boot up the phone, and the wifi and bluetooth arent working. They both won't start.

I was looking at the teardown guide again from ifixit.com and notice that these are both powered by the same broadcom chip.

Does anyone know if there is another ribbon connection associated with the wifi and bluetooth?

I am hoping that I just forgot to plug something back in, and the broadcom chip didnt just crap out from the fall.

I am trying to avoid tearing my phone apart again.
