[Captivate Themes and Apps] fatttire:
Pandora for me is completely unusable. It disregards what else is playing, and goes on top of it.

Totally worthless.

Here's two examples:

1. Open Pandora, wait, no I want to call someone. Close Pandora, make a phone call. 2 minutes in it starts playing. Talk about awkward!!! What the $&#*$??

2. Open Pandora, dang no signal. Open stock music app, then a few minutes later I hear two songs playing. Have to open Pandora and click pause. Again, what gives???

The fact that a reputible, famous, well liked company made such a disastrous product makes me confused.

So I'm not surprised at all to hear you have issues

I want to like Pandora, I just feel like Im talking to an austistic kid whenever I use it (high degree of selfishness, talks over everything)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Justinph5:
Pandora can play, but it is way too laggy without voodoo, if I try to switch a station it goes black for a few minutes, then force closes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rahul0705:
Seems like the issue is in fact wifi to 3g

Regarding pandora interrupting phone calls I've never had this issue I've started pandora then made a phone call talk for 15 or 20 mins and it continue to play right after the main issue I have is hanging up the phone can't be done with the headset

Are you using a custom rom our something? Because I can say stock there aren't issues like that unless its a faulty phone or something user or app related
[Captivate Themes and Apps] roadrash7:
Wow i dont understand why everyone is having problems with pandora. Ive had my captivate for a few months now and I listen to it every day all day at work and have never had one even slight issue. I mean its flawless. Especially coming from blackberry 9700 is like absolutely perfect. No exaggeration. From phone calls to multitasking no probs. On many different roms

Sounds like one dudes problem is he needs to hit the quit button if he wants to close it. Not just home or back.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rahul0705:
well the reason you haven't noticed an issue is because like you said you listen to it at work which means generally you are in on area at a time, as for me and several others are in college etc... we move from place to place in and out of wifi network which could cause this issue

Other than the issue of pandora skipping i really have no other concerns with it other than yes it is a bit slow when starting it up and when trying to skip song while i walk between classes/work

maybe i should root my device to speed it up...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] roadrash7:
Yeah I get that. But I forgot to mention I listen to it everytime I go riding on my motorcycle which is all the time. No issues then either. Unless I'm ridin in the country and there's no signal.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ThatJawn:
I go to Georgia Tech and we're said to have the best WiFi/Internet speeds in the entire nation iirc.

We have WiFi, literally everywhere we go on campus. Except some small spots, and those spots I get what you are expierencing when switching from 3g to WiFi
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rahul0705:
from what ive noticed the issue does in fact occur when switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa (again it is very rare) so for the most part managing your wifi when leaving your wifi zone (like i do leaving my apartment)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jiannichan:
I haven't had any problems. I listen to it while at home on wifi and I some times leave to go somewhere and it still plays fine. I also listen to it all day at work and a lot while driving in the car with no problems. The only time I ever noticed a problem is the button doesn't always pause the music. Once in a while when I try and pause Pandora with the in-line button, music player will start playing a song.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iamamp3pimp:
you have to close the music player completely.

if it is on "standby" it will do that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fatttire:
You guys are right - I have to force close rather than hit the home button or back button. Point is force closing is just another step.....

I am running a custom ROM so that can be it (cognition), but on the other hand everything else works with it! I.e. last.FM, stock music, mixzing, etc. So part of it really is a difference in their app.

Good to know it works on stock
[Captivate Themes and Apps] roadrash7:
In Pandora app there is a quit button. Hit the options/menu button (to the left of home button) and you will see some options one of them being quit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xent:
I am modifying Bionix's Fusion ROM. What I did is just replaced Swype and Launcher Pro with a themed version, removed Mediahub, Titanium backup and Pandora. I am doing all of these just by drag&drop and delete using winrar (from /system/app/ and /data/app/ directories).

Anything else I should know before I proceed to flashing? Like a index file or something I need to edit?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xent:
Anyone? I just find out if theres a structure to these .zip roms..

[ ENABLE RADIO ]BCM4325 Samsung Spica

Developers are working on samdroid the radio to get working on the spica.

This chip is also in the LG optimus GT540 where radio works.

Other information: eclair Spica can run, but also CyanogenMod 2.2.

Can you please help a little?

I have useful links but I can not post because I am a new user. :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] seraser:
The lg optimus do not use bcm4325 to run radio fm.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] pwrmedia:
Not sure if you guys use this @ all, but I stumbled across it this weekend. Great tool for 2 big reasons:

1) Allows for seamless boot animation switching @ the drop of a hat; both from SD card and from server database. Option also to d/l and install fonts as well, though I haven't tried that one yet.

2) App backup/restore built in. Haven't tested against Titanium yet, but for what it does, it's nifty to have this included w/ the rest of the goodies this app offers.

Google it. Research it. D/L. It's worth it for boot animation install alone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] METHOD1911:
Is the app free
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] D.J.CaSpER:
No its not free, but it does what he says. It cost $1.99

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
I bought this app a couple days ago. Works as promised and the developer was very quick to respond to my emails. I use it mostly for the fonts; you can preview, download and install right from the app. Only issue I have is with the boot animations, some of them aren't formatted for our screen size and look funny zoomed in.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] METHOD1911:
Ok 2 dollars is cool with me
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] laie1472:
If you guys wanna save ur money there's an easy font changer on xda its a great mod and works pretty simple I used it to change my font on the andro green theme just wanted to post for anyone who didn't wanna spend the two bucks

What's the name of the app
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gmoney41685:
Absolute system, works pretty good so far for me.

Sent from my Hero running CyanogenMod Stable
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gmoney41685:
But this does more then just change your font. This will backup apps, change boot screens, and more that I dont remember off the top of my head.

Sent from my Hero running CyanogenMod Stable
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] S3nd41:
Does anyone know how to restore the default boot animation?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] hero32:
hello

well i bought it the day it came out and i have to say this dev is on his toes he updates it atleast once a week so bee ready to update alot its a great app and an awesome dev
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] reinbeau:
Does this app work on the Samsung Captivate?

Hi! U guys seems to have a lot of good information. I just wondered, you know . When I have rooted my Xperia X8 with the SuperOneClick v 1.6.5 and i'm checking it, it says : Su Binary not found in the system declared PATH. Anyone got a solution to my problem?

[HD7 General] diablos991:
Just got a tweet that the phone is now available for pre-order on amazon wireless for $169.99.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0046RERVQ

Still no options for those of us that want to save money and mitigate risk by purchasing the phone outright for $549.99 though.
[HD7 General] Hirschbuhl:
Pre-Ordered on htc.letstalk.com for $149.99, no tax, free shipping.
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I just pre-ordered at Lets talk.com for 149.99 plus I will be trading my HTC Tilt2 which has a trade-in value of $75.30 to be also discounted from my purchase. I can't wait to receive this Freaken monster. Its early Christmas for me.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
I don't understand why none of these sites will let me pay full price for the phone. :confused:

There is no way that I am going to add $20 a month to my monthly bill, be in a contract, and add over $100 to my total ownership costs.
[HD7 General] suttonjk82:
Because they are in business to make money and they only make money from T-mobile if you get a contract and add services. htc makes the money selling just the phone. Either buy it from them or wait until it launches and get it at a corporate store.
[HD7 General] ckacey:
Mine only goes up by $5 a month, ~60 overall but the savings are only about 5, so a permanent monthly loss for the convenience of not having to go to the store and being guaranteeing a device, no thank you.
[HD7 General] xhamoodx:
if you go to letstalk.com and choose phones on the left side of the page you will find the device for pre-order for $549.99

it says: "Pre-Order Available to ship on 10/28/2010"

i'm not sure if i want to order it or wait for the dell to check it out
[HD7 General] kristyzw:
You can go to wirefly.com It has option "Get the HTC HD7 without a plan for only "
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I took more benefit out of it because I canceled AT&T and signed up for new T-mobile contract. Can anyone give some pros and cons on T-mobile service? I was willing to take T-mobile for a test drive only for the HD7. The frustration of not being able to have the HD2 on AT&T is also my motivation.
[HD7 General] harsaphes:
Yes. Wirefly lists the phone for 529.99 without contract. You have to select "replacement device" to see the price off contract....

I use TMO in NYC and have no problems....to above poster.
[HD7 General] ratchetjaw:
Yeah just ordered mine. Got tired of waiting on Dell. May still pick it up down the road though
[HD7 General] DooLocsta:
When I go to Letstalk I can only find the phone for $299 but another thing that is funny when you click on the specs for the HD7 it shows that is supports

Removable Memory Card - Type	Micro SD Card

Maximum Memory Card Capacity	32GB SDHC
[HD7 General] Hirschbuhl:
Scroll down. You will see the 150.00 instant discount and 149.99 total. I thought the same thing before I placed my order...
[HD7 General] diablos991:
Finally after over an hour on the phone, I was able to get htc.letstalk.com to sell me the HD7 outright without a plan for $549.99.

I also got confirmation from 3 different representatives that the phone will be in stock on October 29th (this friday) and that my phone would ship out that same day via FedEx 2 day shopping.

Hopefully that all holds true and I will be enjoying my new phone early next week.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Dude.. can you give me the number where you called these guys??

EDIT: Scratch that. I got it on the website.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Pre-Ordered my HD7 via the LTC

I just ordered mine via the website itself. The first time around I did not get the option to get it contract free... But I am not sure what I did, but I suddenly saw the option to get it at full price. It also stated on the webpage that it would ship by Oct 29th. So I placed my order right away.

Hope this info helps anyone else who is interested. Of course, I was asked to call up between 9 - 11 along with my order # to validate carrier information before they proceed with the order.
[HD7 General] diego1985:
T mobile customers are some lucky bastards lol. At&t DAMN YOU!!!!
[HD7 General] harsaphes:
Wirefly says ship date is Nov 8. Also on Letstalk site it says phone is "available" to ship on the 30th of Oct....Im reading that as not a definite ship date.

And as a side note here...I just googled reviews for Wirefly and there are some pretty bad reviews out there for them....Has anyone here used them?..Are they reliable?

Thanks.
[HD7 General] xhamoodx:
I just pre-ordered the phone through letstalk.com

It says ship date 10/30 but when I placed the order and checked the status it says ship date is 10/27

Hopefully this is true
[HD7 General] ratchetjaw:
Hate to say but I think the ship/ projected delivery date they give after you order is generic. Ordered mine two days ago. Said it would ship yesterday and deliver today (I paid for overnight ) yet it still says picking item as of now. When I originally ordered the site said pre orders ship by the 28th. So I don't know when they plan to ship.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
Every day the ship date gets bumped out a day. I should have expected this after the nexus one car dock issue.

I'm contemplating canceling the order now since I can just buy one from the store on release day...
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Looks like you might have a point there. I just told my friend about my purchase, he went ahead and looked it up. For him, it is saying that the phone would ship on 10/30. So, I guess that shipping date is system generated and has nothing to do with the phone availability.

But on the flip side, it is HTC, so for all practical purposes, they would already have the devices available with them, so they might just ship it.

Wishful thinking. :rolleyes:
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
You can always cancel your order on the 7th of Nov, if you do not receive your phone by then. Even if you are getting it a day before, you are in a better off position.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
There was a problem like this with nexus one car docks. Every day the shipping date would get bumped out one more day. This went on for over a month before any actually shipped out.
[HD7 General] xhamoodx:
i was on the phone today to confirm my order with letstalk.com and he said it should arrive to their online store on the 30th
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I ordered mine on LetsTalk the 25th and it said available to ship on the 28th which is tomorrow. I never had any problems with them. Tomorrow I will let you guys know if goes thru for me. I am just as eager as all of you.
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I was chatting with Letstalk.com. Here is the chat :

Frank Hernandez: I notice that the status of my order is still in Carrier Approval. I also wondered this because when I made the pre-order on the 25th it stated it would ship on the 28th which is today. Can you give some incite on this?

Teresa H: Your order will remain in the same status until the devices arrive from the carrier. Once we receive them which is expected to be today then the credit check will begin. Once the credit is complete the the order would ship within 3 days.

Teresa H: Orders will not ship before 10/31 as noted on the website.

Teresa H: Also orders are fulfilled based on the order they are credit approved.

Teresa H: As noted on the website: The HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) is currently available for pre-order reservation only. If you would like to purchase this phone, your credit card will not be billed until your order has been fully processed. As soon as the product is in stock, it will be shipped to you immediately. Please be aware that all activation orders are subject to credit approval. Pre-order reservation for the HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) is on a very limited basis. Although you may place a pre-order reservation for the HTC HD7 (T-Mobile), your order is not guaranteed to ship on the launch date.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
As I expected. That date will get put off until the 8th.

I am canceling my pre-order today and I will just buy the phone from the local store.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Well, apparently, who ever you chatted with is wrong in the information she gave you. I had the same thing when I placed my order online. The status said waiting for carrier approval. I had to call the Order confirmation folks and they gave me a set of secret questions after taking my SSN in order to process the order. Thats what it means (at least in my case).

Only after that, my card was charged.

To the other point, the shipping and the delivery date is system generated and I don't think they developed it to work with Pre-Orders. So, it keeps assuming that the device is available and keeps giving us the wrong dates.

So for all practical purposes, they phone might get shipped only after it is officially released by T-Mobile.

My plan is to wait until the 3rd of Nov and even by then, I do not get a shipping tracking #, I would cancel my order and pick it up from a local T-Mobile store on the 8th.

Long story short - I did place my order and my card was charged.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
My card was charged as well after I went through the questions thing. They still made me do it even though I was buying the phone at full price.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
ETA on Letstalk.com is Nov 7th. Won't ship until the 8th.

I just cancelled my order with htc.letstalk.com

I called the customer service folks at 1-866-416-3059 and option 3 and asked them to give me a correct date on the HD7 availability as their website is giving us the wrong information.

She put me on hold, called up their warehouse to find out. She came back on the call and said, their warehouse ETA is Nov 7th and they would start shipping on the 8th. Even with Overnight shipment, we will not get this device until the 9th.

Nov 7 is a Sunday. T-Mobile stores would have the device on Nov 8th. We are better off picking up the device on the 8th from T-Mobile itself.

Unless, T-Mobile can start taking pre-orders for this device.
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I am eager but I am not that eager to cancel the order. I could wait. As long as I am paying around $74.00 dollars for my HD7 I can wait for it. I can't wait thou.
[HD7 General] ratchetjaw:
I got the same 5 secret question deal. If it doesn't ship by the first I am cancelling with letstalk and just buy in store
[HD7 General] octavio79:
I just got of the phone with Letstalk and the women told me that the first preorders will ship by the 1st since the 31st is a Sunday and they are closed on Sundays. Does anyone know when Letstalk launched the preorders on the website. I ask because I preordered mine on the 25th. It seems like it was lauched on this day because I checked the site regularly to see if it would pop out and finally I caught it around mid day L.A, CA time and made the preorder. So hopefully my order runs thru with the first batch of shipment.
[HD7 General] xhamoodx:
when i was on the phone with letstalk they said the device should be available to ship at the 30th but probably won't ship it until the 1st
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Dude.. they don't know ****. When I ordered 2 days back, it said 29th ship date. When my friend checked 1 days back it said 30th ship date. I belive you checked today so not its 31st ship date. The ship date is system generated. I belive the system is not bulit to handle Pre-Orders, by default its showing 3 days after as ship date. Any who... GL.
[HD7 General] diablos991:
Their website now says "Pre-Order available to ship on unknown"
[HD7 General] ratchetjaw:
Yeah it's been like that since yesterday. I guess they got tired of people calling about there false advertising they were doing
[HD7 General] octavio79:
Oh well the HD7 should be worth the wait. Its seems like when WP7 was announced everybody was talking crap about it, but now it seems like people are hyped on it. Its all about planting a suggestive thought subconsciously into peoples mind. Or people just don't know what the hell they want. There is no more individuality. "I like it because I like it, Not because everyone likes it." HA!

maybe it is possible to mail the app to your phone and then install it .

If that's true, all we need is some kind of jailbreak.

It's not like they're going to lock developers out forever because they're "hailbreaking" it. In worst case you can probably undo the jailbreak and go on as usual.

Can someone tell me the difference between a developers phone (side-loading) and a normal one ?

side-loading , is that only a .reg key that is different from a normal phone ?

I think jailbreaking it will be the way to go as I don't see M$ allowing people to access the file system either on the phone or via the computer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
Side loading will allow developers to install apps that don't come from the app store (for testing purposes)

Not sure how it will work yet, but it will probably require you to have the source which means it probably wont be suitable for pirating
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
If MS does allow file system access it would probably be similar to the way Apple allowed on the iPod. I'm not sure if you can stilll do this, but before my 30GB classic broke down on me I was able to use it like a thumb drive by selecting a option in iTunes. You could access the file system thru Windows folders, but you couldn't see system files. Then developers could create an app, SNES emulator for example, and create a folder where to add roms.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
As long as 3rd party apps will have access to this space as well, then I'd consider that most of the problems I have with the platform resolved.
