Hey guys, a week ago we released TrueCaller 2.0 for Android and it has been a huge success for us in the Nordic countries, however we have gotten little response from other countries. Can you guys please help us by letting us know, what works for you, which country your from and what phone you have. Also let us know what doesnt work for you.

TrueCaller 2.0 is a Caller ID application with the purpose of giving you more information about the people you communicate with, when you need it the most.

Features:

- Caller ID which displays the name/address or if not available country/statewhen making and receiving a phonecalls from numbers that are not already in your phonebook.

-Manual search for names and numbers

-Display a preview of incoming SMS

-Call filter which contains a managed list of known fraud numbers as well as a crowd-sources list of fraud numbers which our users create. Using the call filter you will be notified when you receive a call from a fraud number so that you can manage your time and calls.

-TweetCaller which lets you tweet your phonecalls onto Twitter so that you can keep people notified about your status.

-Update phonebook functionality which simply put itterates throught your phonebook contacts and update them with address information such as street/zip/city/area/country.

-Social Caller ID, by connecting TrueCaller to your Facebook and LinkedIn account you can now see your friends and colleagues latest profile picture and status information when you make and receive calls!

-TrueCaller now offers you CallerID+ giving our users the possibility to opt-in for a contact sharing database that is completely crowd-sourced and fully managed. By enabling it you will become a CallerID+ user and you will share your contacts with other TrueCaller CallerID+ users, in return you will have access to a more accurate Caller ID service with millions of more numbers!
[Android Apps and Games] firemedic1343:
Wow, there are a lot of nice features.

Q - How is this different/better than White Pages?
[Android Apps and Games] namiran:
Yes, TrueCaller isnt just your average CallerID :)

Differences are among others that we just take a one time fee and not a subscription.

We also offer tons of other features because we see the purpose of TrueCaller being giving our users timely information about whoever they communicate with no matter if its a colleague, friend or a unkown person. Also we want to improve TrueCaller and we take our users voice very much into consideration!

Try it and tell me what you think! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Night on the web:
Why isn't the app available on Google Play anymore?
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Just go to their website. New app is there.
[Android Apps and Games] Night on the web:
Thanks for your reply.

However, since it has been reported by other users that, after installing the app, TrueCaller uploads all of your contacts information to the developer's website, i have decided not to install it. Untill this feature of the app will be clearly explained i will try other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Superm@π:
Crap, now I'M paranoid. Crap!
[Android Apps and Games] gplock:
Once u explain why u store contacts. Make it also have full screen picture. Once those two are done. Then ill try it.
[Android Apps and Games] Night on the web:
ACtually there seems to be a similar app that is still available on google play. This app does the same thing as TrueCaller without the "upload your conacts to our database" feature. It is called WhosCall:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gogolook.callgogolook2

It have been using this app for the last few days and it seems pretty good.
[Android Apps and Games] Night on the web:
It seems the app is again available on the play store. Inside the description there is this note:

It seems that they modified the behaviour of the app. I think i may give it a try now. What do you guys think?
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
I'am from Pakistan using i9500 Android 4.3

True Caller works like charm i downloaded it yesterday from Play Store,

but when i search some name its phone number is always private.
[Android Apps and Games] thahim:
In true caller I cant send requests to get numbers. It always says failed. Try again.

Hi can anyone please tell me what android rom should i use on my hd2 which has the least problems and and best performance :confused:

Mdeejay_eVo_Sense has been really good on mine!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Since most of them are now pretty stable and mostly working (no camera on Desire HD builds yet), you should just try them and make your mind up. The problems that people have are generally different from person to person, so no-one can tell you what will be the best one for you.

Read & try - it's easier than flashing, so just give it a go.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harish.awe:
i dont know if any of you have noticed or not ,,desire camera quality is not as good as Samsung galaxy s or any other 5mp camera phones....!!

-so if there is any tweaks for camera settings ,please let me know

-thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PilgrimToHyperion:
Use Vignette or Camera 360. Makes a huge difference.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
both vignette and camera 360 are great but wont allow you to adjust the camera image processing settings

i'm getting excellent results with the HTC camera

first and foremost lower the sharpness in settings to -2, this will disable all the heavy edge sharpness and noise suppression applied by default and you will get proper photographic quality, this way you can leave adjustments like sharpness (if needed) to other apps like photoshop or picsay, i also raise the saturation to +1 for more vibrancy

you need to set the compression quality to high, i leave everything else to auto, except metering set to center area and of course highest resolution choose 4x3 aspect ratio if you want full mega pixels

one final thing in auto the htc camera chooses the lowest possible iso and hence a little sensitive to movement try to be still for a second when you shoot a photo

as for video recording 800x480 preforms great in good lighting it gets you 25fps, 720p gets around 20fps, unfortunately at low lighting the recording frame rate drops

camera performance is also improved when you are using a2sd (if rooted)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beanbean50:
it could be the cheap crappy plastic cover over the camera lens causing your trouble, I removed mine ages ago (replaced it with a cut up screen saver) and it was like removing a cataract from my eye...!

[Desire General] nitens:
Folks. Just upgraded to Telstra stock 2.2 and was curious if the excessive heat when taxing the device was a general 2.2 quirk or if the stock Rom is somehow dodgy.

Noticed this most on angry birds. Played for about 20 minutes the other night on 2.1 without any significant heat. 5 minutes tonight under 2.2 and boy did she heat up.

Anyone else noticed this? Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] feroz2u:
Htc desire over heat a manufacturing defect

i am also facing heat related problem.Mine is unbranded Asia version,while using youtube or any flash video my device get too hot near the charging port or we can say mother board is getting over heat. i think there is some problem with all htc desire bcos this is my second htc desire.I have sold the old one bcos of same reason.

its a shame for htc and they are expecting that desire could be the phone of the year.
[Desire General] Simultaneity:
I have the same problem with my Telstra Desire, it always heats up when playing games :\. I called HTC but they said anything under 50 degrees Celsius is within reasonable limits.

I don't like burning my hands and face though....
[Desire General] JagSem:
Get a widget off the market and monitor the temps. Mine will range from around 15 - 35 degrees Celsius.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
This is not a issue, the desire has a powerful cpu and obviously no fan, when using complex games and apps, the cpu and gpu have to work hard, thus creating more heat, combine that with the high power drain of the task, the battery also heats up, i know it can be worrying but htc have been doing this for a long time, the desire is made to withstand this :)
[Desire General] mbc2010:
I think this is becoming a serious problem with the Desire, mine started to overheat and then one day just started going into a reboot loop. Never rooted or anything like that.

Unit went for repair and was replaced with a new one, unfortunatley the new one has the SLCD screen :mad:

Just a quick comparison now that I have owned both AMOLED and SLCD:

AMOLED = Better battery life

SLCD = Sharper text but poor battery life

Both screens unreadble outdoors on a bright day.
[Desire General] UpSpin:
The SLCD should have better battery life while browsing, worse while watching darker movies.

Heat:

It's normal. My old Nokia mobile phone (not smartphone) got hand-warm while playing simple games, too. Now, the Desire, is a smartphone with a very powerful CPU and GPU. It's no surprise that this thing heats up. The processor even has a heat spreader. The processor is located near the USB port, so this part will get warm while playing games, navigating or doing long web surfing sessions.

All smartphones, using the latest technology have this issue, because all smartphones use the same technology and get passively cooled.

It's nothing to worry about. You can reduce the heat and increase the battery life by rooting and flashing an undervolted kernel.

PS: The Desire never does get that hot that it will burn your skin. So it will get warm, maybe warmer than your skin temperature, but nothing to get worried about.

PPS: I haven't noticed a difference between 2.1 and 2.2. 2.1 cause temperatures above 40 Degree Celcius sometimes, 2.2 also. Since undervolting I never reached that high temperatures again.
[Desire General] Cactus42:
Just to echo what the others said, the Desire gets hot, that in itself is not an issue. It's got a 1Ghz CPU and that needs to dissipate a hell of a lot of heat when under load but it's got nowhere to go except the casing and your hands.

The reboot loop issue is a known problem but this is a flaw with a number of Desire's out there (my first desire had this) and your Desire can get very hot and be fine. If it gets very hot and reboots you've got a problem.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
thats a good point, not all cpu's are made the same! my desire gets very hot sometimes but never reboots, some people get lots of reboots when there device gets hot, its the same as overclocking, some people can overclock there cpu to alot higher clockspeeds than others
[Desire General] JMercha:
Mine gets hot after some heavy usage (especially Flash, videos, games etc). Around 40 degrees celsius. Doesn't concern me too much.
[Desire General] nitens:
Seems to me that I may not have been clear enough in my original post. I realise that heat is normal with the power that's in these devices, and I'm not overly concerned by it.

However, I noticed that there seemed to be more heat running games on 2.2 than 2.1. This is simply an impression and I don't have any empirical data to back it up. Just curious to see if anyone else may have experienced a similar effect.
[Desire General] mbc2010:
Does this have anything to do with batch.

My faulty one was HT06 and it was replaced with HT08.

Any thoughts?
[Desire General] mbc2010:
I would agree with that, my one seems to be running hotter under 2.2, not only just with games though.
[Desire General] Sauge:
well i dont have 2.2 yet but so far Desire heat is nowhere near to what my old xperia x1 did produce i should be upgrading to 2.2 later on today or tommorow so will post my impresions later

first of all apologies for my lack of knowledge in this.. any help would be greatly appreciated

i have an unlocked South East Asia HD2 which was running 1.66 official SEA-WWE ROM

i attempted to install the 3.14 WWE english rom - it initially failed, and now my phone will only semi boot into windows - its basically unusuable - HTC sense continously fails to load and i cant hit any of the soft keys

i attempted to flash back to the 1.66SEA-WWE ROM but i am getting USB not reckonized errors

again., any help would be greatly appreciated

that'll teach me to mess with stuff i have no idea about ;)

[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Midtown? Roseville? Rocklin? Nothing in Arden area yet...

What kind of speeds are you guys getting?
[EVO 4G General] don83:
in natomas also
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
I was in Antelope earlier today, and 4g connected, but speeds were unimpressive (1k down, 500 up), and connection was unreliable. Must be in an initial deployment phase.
[EVO 4G General] Mstrowe:
We have had for 4g in Stockton for over a month it works great. Even out in the burbs where i live.
[EVO 4G General] crowly100:
I live in Elk Grove and get it in the middle of town but not so great where I live on the edge of town..
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Just got confirmation from my Sprint rep that the greater Sacramento area has officially been turned up with 4g service, from El Dorado Hills, Rocklin, Downtown, Elk Grove, everything.

Post your speeds!
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
So last night I was testing in various areas in Sac, consistently getting up to 3k down.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
So here's the official word:

Sacramento is online as of Sunday. Ditto for Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Roseville.

Service by the 937 Howe Avenue store sucks, so don't go there for WiMax issues. Took me an hour of fighting them and showing the tech how to see the RSA keys on his rooted phone to get mine replaced due to my RSA keys getting nuked.

Rancho Cordova (South of 50@Zinfandel and 50@Sunrise, and by Anatolia. No word about the business park, Walmart area, etc.) is currently a testbed zone (meaning the phone will pick up the signal, try to connect, then instantly disconnect). Since the rest of Sacramento was doing this just before being lit up, it's fairly safe to assume that region will be coming online in a few months, possibly in time for Christmas.
[EVO 4G General] Skeptron:
awesome, im moving there early next year :)
[EVO 4G General] mclife:
parts of Folsom has 4G. my friend was able to get 7Mb down on his EVO today. very impressive. i am running Cyanogen 6.1, so no go for me, but might be time to leave AOSP (reluctantly).

[Epic 4G General] churro7:
is there an app or program for it?
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
you looking for audio, video (would require on the fly reencoding for most video), in you network via wifi oe over 3 and 4g?

It is more about about your home server or pc, router, and file formats/bitrates than it is about an app on the phone
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
video mainly

i use ps3 media server for ps3
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
Allshare or orb.
[Epic 4G General] durhamite:
I use Orb. Works ok but sometimes video takes a while to start.
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
I have used orb for more than 2 years. The video quality on android phone is so bad that I gave up. I tried both web and app. Too many pixelations. I heard that quality on Froyo with flash is a bit better.

Anyway, I have decided to go with a bit pricey solution. I already have media center extender in my living room that connects to my HTPC for TV viewing. I bought a slingbox solo so that I can watch TV from my phone. It's costly but it's the only solution with a watchable video quality. (The locationfree + PSP has much better quality than slingbox + android.)
[Epic 4G General] a_ride_4_ever:
I beleve twonky will. It will stream to any dlna ceryified device. Also allshare has a mode for this
[Epic 4G General] bigdbag:
For audio I use audio galaxy.
[Epic 4G General] VassagoX:
You can also use Gmote to search set directories on the server side on an HTPC through Wifi and stream the videos to your phone.
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
There are many options but none is perfect. It depends on what audio/video format you want to stream.

For example, if it's an avi file, many apps will work such as allshare, gmote. But if it's a WTV file (TV recording), then your option is very limited.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
mkvs and avis?
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
IMHO it isn't a question of mkv or avi. Mainly it is a question of are the bitrate of the videos qhihch has nothing to do with container.

Next is what is your home connection upload speed? is it .3mps max? If that is the case the bitrates are going to have to be less than 75% of that. That is going to mean manually or on the fly transcoding server side.

So server side upload speeds, and server side bitrates need to be addressed first.

Orb does this, but pretty poorly.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
it would be over wifi but my uploads are around 500KB/s

Downgrading to hboot 0.75:

1. Tools needed:

1.1. Hex editor http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

1.2. rooted desire

1.3. misc.img

1.4. attachment flash_image.zip (in german guide: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-how-rebrand-o2-desire-fertig-flash_image.zip )

2. creating misc.img

2.1. connect the desire to your pc and start a adb shell with:

----> adb shell

2.2. copy mtd0 to sdcard as misc.img

----> cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

3. edit misc.img

3.1. copy misc.img to your pc (or edit it directly on sdcard)

3.2. start a hex editor and open misc.img

3.3. in line 11 is the current version (example: 1.21.405.1)

3.4. change it to 1.15.405.1

3.5. save under a new name and copy it to sdcard

4. flash modified misc.img

4.1. download flash_image.zip, unzip and copy the content to the sdcard (attachment in german guide)

4.2. move via adb to the sdcard

----> cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

4.3. add execute bit

----> chmod 755 /data/flash_image

4.4. flash the modified image (don't forget to change name)

----> /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/misc-mod.img

(4.5. could need more than one try, seems there is no output on success)

5. applied the HTC Bravo WWE 1.15.405.4 RUU to unroot it: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...io_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe

Now it shows hboot 0.75 in fastboot!

Do you not think this is pointless seeing as any HBOOT can be rooted? there is no need to downgrade and the other thread you posted this in was from August - things have moved on a lot since then...

Why would anyone downgrade to 0.75???

For example with hboot 0.75 you can flash _ANY_ official ROM ( http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/ ) but with 0.92 you can't (error: wrong bootloader version).
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
But why would you want to go back to Android 2.1? So long as you can get an RUU for YOUR operator you can go back to stock for warranty purposes

Going back to 0.75 is just not needed any more
[Desire Android Development] simploid:
Read for example this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694194

or this http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ding-hboot-0-80-to-0-75-anymore/#entry1358212

There are MANY QUESTIONS about downgrading hboot to 0.75.
[Desire Android Development] patasenko:
Yeah but those are like 3-4 months old, and thus not that relevant anymore...

But if this helps anyone, so be it... I don't see the point, as the new tools that are from August, works fine with those hboot.

Thanks for posting. Looks useful to me, I'm not aware of another way to revert branded phones to stock when a Froyo RUU for the phone's operator is not available.
