MiKandi, for the gay porn.

Seriously though, I don't think most people sideload non-market apps, or at least I haven't really found anything worthwhile outside of the market, especially since the captivate comes with Swype pre-installed. I've sideloaded some beta software that isn't found in the market, like firefox mobile, and some other stuff that disappeared from the market after my 2.2 upgrade (new york times mobile), but none of them are must-have apps. Most of the sideloading I do is just to test my own programs, since the sdk's simulator runs slow on my computer. It's nice to have the option though, even if you don't currently need it.

Also, if I remember right, some game companies don't sell their stuff on the market, like assassin's creed and whatnot. I'd imagine you'd have to be able to install non-market apps to install those.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jatkins09:
I'm more likely to buy an app if I can try it first, but let's just ignore the grey area in favor of your simplistic, black and white worldview. Piracy bad!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kaik541:
err, your logic is entirely flawed just fyi. if you knew anything about the android market, you'd know you have up to 24 hours after purchasing an app to refund and uninstall it. so you saying "I search for apps so I can try them before I purchase them" is, at best, ridiculously misinformed.

do the right thing and buy the app, if it isn't to your liking, refund it. on any other platform, where this process doesn't exist, I'd give you a break. but android specifically has this setup to avoid exactly what you're saying you do.

edit: should add that the main benefit of enabling sideloading for me is restoring apps through titanium backup after reflashing my phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jatkins09:
Please highlight the sentence where I said anything close to "I pirate apps." I'll wait...

Seriously, you're putting words in my mouth. But for the sake of argument, I'll add that sometimes 24 hours just isn't enough time to determine whether an expensive app like Doggcatcher (a $7 podcast app) is the best available option. I need time to see how it works in different situations, ie how well it streams while I'm at work vs my house, bluetooth vs line-out, how it reacts to different roms, etc. I was forced to take a gamble and buy the app without testing it in every situation I encounter.

If you read my actual statement rather than simply making up your own, you'd see that all I was saying is that there's a gray area. It's more complicated than piracy bad, riaa good.

Tunee music. But I think I saw in the market now. I used it for a couple songs then thought to myself "self this can't be legal" downloading almost any song you can think of to your phone for free... "self, maybe the record companies made tunee music so they can get richer off poor people that download music for free"

So I do NOT want to be like the lady that downloaded 24 songs and now has to pay something like 1.5 million dollars now. So bye bye it went. I dont have a spare 1.5 mill

But it is a cool app. I originally had to.sideload it. Got it from tuneemusic.net Again I think I saw it.in the market.now.

EDIT:Yep.it is the market now. Just searched for it but DIDNT download

I like that I can now go to the Science Fiction book publisher's web site direct and download the older stuff for free or get the new stuff at a discount. They even offer ARCs (advance reader copy) of books 6 months before release date. HTTP://WWW.baen.com
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sextonma:
I wasn't aware of this site. What reader software and download format do you use?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RDI:
When I was on WM6.1 I was using .lit files and Microsoft Reader. At least it remembered what page I am on.

Now I use WordPlayer app to read ePub format. www.Baen.com remembers what books you ever got and I can always re-download those in ePub format. WordPlayer will also "talk" to Calibre Library (Free & runs on your "big" computer). Calibre will convert any format eBook to any format. Calibre will also act as a Reader on your desktop. You will eventually move all eBooks into it.

I end up using WordPlayer setup with a black screen (less power) and white letters. Dim or brightning as needed.

Understand that by giving away the first books in a series (or older books) by their top Authors, Baen is like a Drug Dealer giving you a Free Taste!

Not many people have the phone yet. I have been calling Rogers to get a phone via a hardware upgrade but its not even in the system yet.

Does anyone know if there is a stylus pen that will work with the HTC Aria touch screen for keyboard input? My fingers are way too fat! It is taking me forever to generate e-mails and texts!

Please advise!
[HTC Aria Accessories] cegna09:
It's hard to do a stylus for a capacitive screen. I've seen some concepts for the iPad and iPhone, and you're better off with just your finger. Get swype or a similar keyboard for typing, makes a world of difference.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Elishallen:
Umm back when i got my first touch screen i found that something stylus like wrapped in tin foil works on the ipod/iphone. please only try this if you have a screen protector i dont want you to scratch your phone because of my theory.

Hi guys I wanna install the modified MIUI rom, and try the HD roms, all of which require an sd-ext partition.

Have installed the latest android sdk (from android-sdk_r07-windows.zip)

I can get into the adb shell, and put my phone in recovery. When i try 'adb devices' my phone comes up as it should.

I fail at the second hurdle though, parted returns:

"/sbin/sh: parted: not found"

I spent last night trawling google and the forum for help, but found nothing.

RA recovery won't work on my phone for some reason, it just locks up the phone :(

[G2 and Desire Z General] unxconformed:
Welcome to the internet, I have a feeling you aren't going to like your stay here :P

Seriously though, there is no specific sub forum for people who are having issues, so they all get placed into general. Frankly, one of the nice things about forums is if you have an issue with your device, you can come online and see if anyone else is also. It lets you confirm if you have a bad unit or if they are all bad. Sometimes someone will post up a fix. Some people will get carried away with complaining, but that is how forums for tech devices have evolved to work. If you don't like it, tough, that is just the way it is.

Given that this phone is relatively new, this is completely normal to see the forums being overwhelmed with people posting their problems. Give it a few months for issues to be worked out and you'll see it calm down. Then you guys can get back to your "intellectual discussions" :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] trazipomoc:

[G2 and Desire Z General] mdayjr:
Look....I agree with discussing issues with a device but why carry it out? Nobody here has magical powers to fix hinges which seems to be the main topic since the release of the device. We are all aware of the issue and some of us don't have bad parts while others do. Just take the device back where it was purchased and you'll be taken care of. Why ***** about it which is what some of the members are doing. They are on their 4th device and still *****ing. If they have an issue with a device multiple times than I guess it's time for a different make and model. This is a good venting thread. THANX.

Sound like you might have an A2sd problem with the boot.img. Could be a lot of things from not having an Ext partition to wrong Boot.img for that rom. If you installed TeamFenix and the a2sd add on without patching the rom this will happen. Or if you patch the rom without installing the a2sd add on you will get the same. Not saying you did any of this, just stating ways that it can happen. It is best to go into recovery and wipe Ext,Data,Boot,System and cache (thats what I do). Then install a new rom from there.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mroadster:
I just received my Nexus One which I ordered through the Google Developer program (Brightstarcorp) and I'm not able to get it working with the Bell Mobility network for either voice or data

I have a signal bars on my N1 with a Bell Mobility SIM card but it dosen’t works.

When I slide down the notification bar it say "Bell" and try this to get it working.

I have tried all solutions and have the recommended settings on the phone (also running Froyo 2.2.1-Build number : FRG83).

- I tried my SIM to another Bell phone and it works.

- I tried another Bell SIM in my N1 and it did not work.

- I'm using an active data plan card not a prepaid card.

But it works with Rogers or Fido

I tried the following :

1.Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators: after about 1 minute I see network the currently available Bell

I click on Bell and see a signal not working.

2. Go to the dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* this bring a hidden menu

3. tap on "Phone Information" It list the current network as Bell and also showing the IMEI and the Phone number. The IMEI and phone number are correct.

4. Hit the menu button and press "Select radio band" and click on "Automatic" .

5. Still not working I make sure radio band is set to "Automatic" then go back to the previous screen and scroll all the way to the bottom. Click under "set preferred network type" and choose through until I find one that works 1. WCDMA preffered or WCDMA only or GSM auto (PRL) it takes a few seconds from the time I click until the settings take place, just watch the signal bar at the top of the screen until it changes. Even try the "unknown" network type at the bottom of the list if the others don't work.

All the above fails.

For those of you out there who have successfully activated the Nexus One on the Bell network could you let me know which version of the phone you have.

Thanks for your suggestions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CanadianBacon:
well i am sorry to say but i dont think that the phone will work with Bell. the dev phones as far as i know are all AWS. so the only way it is going to work is if you get a rogers sim and use it on edge or a wind/moblicity sim and you can use 3G. bell does not have an edge network to back up on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
That's true. Bell/Telus has only the 3g network. The developer phone will not work. It will use edge/2g on Rogers/Fido. And will be fully supported on Wind or Mobilicity.

So my Dinc which I bought on launch day blew the front speaker yesterday. I called Verizon and they are shipping me a brand new Dinc out today. My question is, I have already rooted my phone and installed like 50 paid/free apps on it with tons of other crap, settings, data, etc. I have made multiple nandroid backups and titanium backups. Can I just save the backups on my SD card then get my hands on the new Dinc, root that one as well then use my backups on the SD card to just load everything on to the new phone so I don't have to go through the process of re-setting up my entire phone again? Do I have to repurchase all my paid apps again?Any advice would be appreciated, thanks guys.
