[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesolo:
The last time I bought a phone to Expansive, my Blackstone when it came to streets, they were selling it a bit cheaper than MRSP price and the same to the HD2...

But now, they are becoming a lot greedy and are selling phones at the same MRSP prices...

By the way, does anyone knows if there's going to be a page on the wiki for the best selling prices of the Desire HD??

According to a source, the specs of the device found in the official PDF in HTCLON it appears to be an LCD, while on the Desire Z they did mention it's SLCD.

Which website confirmed it's an SLCD?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz157:
Play.com £469.99 due to release 11th October. Bought sgs for £400 will have to get on contract, My contract is coming to end in Oct hopefully will be available to T-Mobile by then. I hate Vodafone, terrible customer services.

Anyone know which network will be getting it first?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sub0min0us:
Yep. It is just an LCD instead of SLCD. You can easily notice this in some videos available in youtube. A let down imho.

EDIT: Ooops! This video says super LCD so SLCD? Let's wait and see.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawadi:
I tried to root my vibrant using Galaxy_One-Click_Root.exe however I didn't get the "reinstall packages" option and was stuck in the recovery mode with only four options that I have and I can't choose any one of them when I press the power button are:

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I can see that my computer recognizes the internal and the external sdcards by seeing an icon for both of them BUT I can't access them although the drivers are updated and I used to install roms using the odin software before without any problems.

PLEASE I'M DESPERATE FOR HELP:confused::(:mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reksp13:
First boot up your phone then mount USB open the internal drive and make sure there is a file called "update.zip" then boot your phone into recovery then scroll to "apply sdcard:update.zip" from your phone. Make sure when you ran the one click root.exe you were not mounted and you have it set to usb debugging mode
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boimarc89:
Bro,

for future ref,

PLEASE READ ALL DIRECTIONS before modifying system files on your phone

. Failure to do so could result in a brick which is unrecoverable. Also, before you do ANYTHING within rooting or flashing to your phone, Please backup your settings in Clockwork recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
Why are you asking people to email you?? You've posted in 2 different topics on people who are having issues with soft bricks and simply say 'Email me' in both of them... the point of these forums is to help people IN the forum so others can use someone else's mistake as a lesson.

I'm assuming you are wanting these people to email you so that you can help them... and NOT to have them send you their phone in hopes you fix it for them then never send it back!

Anyway, keep the helping within the forum so others can use it as a learning tool as much as the OP!

[Windows Phone 7 General] FW8:
Guys I don't know exactly whether or not this is the right place to post this, but I'm just SO EXCITED right now.

While searching for cool WP7 apps I just found a game called "Doodle Tower".

It looks pretty much like Doodle Jump for the iPhone! I can't wait to get my hands on this one, read some UK forums and many people say it's even better than the original Doodle Jump.

There are like 8-9 platform types with different functions and the level generator seems to be pretty solid with a combination of randomization and scripts!
[Windows Phone 7 General] risq:
Has it been released yet or is it "Coming soon" ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FW8:
It's already released!

You can find it in the marketplace by searching "Doodle Tower" or have a look at some screenshots at the developer homepage: modmonkeys.net

I would post links to some reviews and opinions I read about it, but I'm not yet allowed to do so because I'm new to this forum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] risq:
Thanks, I'll take a look.

Update: Just taken a look at the game....no way is it better than doodlejump. The level design is the most simple thing I've ever seen. good foundations, but it needs some proper skinning before I even consider a purchase.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FW8:
In my opinion the level design is exactly the thing that makes it more interesting than Doodle Jump. You have to see that Doodle Jump received dozens of updates and this game is at it's beginning, however the platform types currently in the game are much more fun than in Doodle Jump.

It is more random than the Doodle Jump levels, Doodle Jump got boring as soon as you have seen the possible platform segments. Doodle Tower uses more randomization without giving up the scripted segments, they just combine it a very balanced way.

The game misses some background enhancements and enemies or some special effects, but the foundation is more solid than Doodle Jump 1.0 has been back then. It will be interesting to see what the devs plan in future updates, I personally love it the way it is atm, and I'm sure I will love it even more with future updates!

All in all Doodle Tower is the best game of its kind you can get for WP7 at the moment. Doodle Jump may have more updates, but Doodle Tower will receive more and more content, I'm pretty sure about that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Panomol:
Hi guys,

I'm one of the lucky German citizens that received their WP7 device yesterday. And I just registered here to thank FW8 for this topic!

I was sceptically when I saw the screens, but hell, the gameplay is freaking awesome!

Played it for about 1-2 hours and it's still a lot of fun! I'm using every free minute trying to get a new highscore.

I'm missing online leaderboards, enemies and some cool special effecs (particles or something that uses the power of my device a bit) but for an early version it is just BADASS!
[Windows Phone 7 General] karios:
MonsterUp

As you may have already noticed, Doodle Tower was taken down an replaced with Birdy something because of naming disputes. No matter though, cause our game, MonsterUp, is way better and available since beginning of January. Already voted best WP7 for January 2011, featured in Channel9 Hot Apps show, and getting awesome reviews in the Marketplace.

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section, I figured I might get more response here than in Q&A . Anyways, I downloaded a movie on my pc and transfered it to my sd card well I would like to place it on the home screen like an avatar shortcut I think launcher pro can be used for this but im not sure how if it is. thanx
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
just download "desktop visualizer" or "bettercut".....great apps, and exactly what you need....i THINK dv is free but im not sure

I just happen to download bettercut before I saw your post thanx for a quick reply btw, but what do you enter under

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
No what you do is longclick your home screen you want to shortcut on, click shortcuts>Better Home, then just click "Activity"....should be pretty self-explanatory from there
[Vibrant General] rsegura77:
I was able to create a shortcut to the folder where the movie is located but is there a way to create a shortcut that will launch the movie
[Vibrant General] tim_mack:
same question here, i dl'ed desktop visualizer but i dont see how to get to the movie file? it lets me go to the same things as anycut will. i stored the movie on my internal memory.
[Vibrant General] rsegura77:
Figured it out, download Bettercut from the market ($2.99 you can uninstall and refund after your done it will still leave the shortcut) long press on the screen you want the shortcut on and choose shortcuts, then bettercut, scroll to the bottom and select make your own, and enter the following

Action: android.intent.action.VIEW

Data: content://media/external/video/media/11

Type: leave blank

Where 11 is it varies, that is the number for the file. It is in order of when the video was created so try with 1 and work your way untill you find your video could take some time depending on the number of videos you have and deleting videos will take up a number so sometimes you'll get an error saying it cannot be opened
[Vibrant General] biigreen:
Astro or Linda File Manager will allow you to navigate to a file and long press. Then select shortcut.

I guess I went the long way
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Just wondering if anyone would know: my friend has a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant through Bell. He told me he applied some sort of EXT4 file system to it which has resulted in a massive performance gain.

Anyone know anything about what this might be?

I'm wondering if something like this may be possible with the X10, especially with 2.1 on the way (as that's the version of Android he's running).

-edit-

I got some more info on what my friend was talking about:

So, does anyone know what file system SE is using on the X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxo87:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAFFS#YAFFS2

Don't think you can convert it to anything else..
[XPERIA X10 General] tr0llica:
i would better use btrfs(With compression enabled) then ext4

i have btrfs on my SSD and it is much faster then ext4
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxo87:
Now there are a lot of improved file system with good performance out there but I guess the FS doesn't make a great difference on a smartphone... The most important thing you need is journaling so you don't lose your data if the device crashes :)

Yup the lagfix on the galaxy S really improves the score in Quadrant benchmark.. but, talking about concrete phone use, does it really increase overall performance that much?
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
No idea. I have limited experience with his Galaxy S. It seems quite fast and responsive (moreso than my X10), but then that could easily be attributed to the OS difference.
[XPERIA X10 General] emuneee:
Abso-****ing-lutely. Whatever Samsung did to the Galaxy S line with respect to the RFS filesystem was used was horrible. EXT4 instantly makes the phone one of theeee fastest (if not fastest) devices out...and I'm not talking benchmarks scores, but real world use.
[XPERIA X10 General] WickedStyx:
You don't need to change the file system on the X10. This is only useful on the Galaxy S because of the horrid filesystem Samsung chose to use. RFS is their inbred bastard child so unfortunately it looks like they're sticking with it.

The X10 doesn't use RFS so don't worry about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Fair enough. Thanks for all the info.

Trying to backup my launcher pro settings and screen layout and keep getting an error that states "an error has occurred while trying to create the backup. Please make sure the SD card is available."

I realize I can uninstall and reinstall but if I do that I will lose the data I am trying to backup. Any alternate fixes for this? I have done the following:

- deleted the LauncherPro folder from SD card

- reseated the SD card

Thanks.

https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B1VD5urJF8c-YzMxOWNlYWYtODFhMi00NWRkLWIyMzMtMDU3YTExM2RlNjli&hl=en

It is the latest updated version of Dosbox from adosbox.googlecode.com, with keys mapped to match the G2 keyboard. It's my first actual packaged Android app, so hopefully I didn't screw anything up.

Mouse support is disabled, only the left ALT key works to access extended characters, and the ALT key seems to become stuck if you hold it down for too long, but you can un-stick it by pressing it once and releasing.

The track pad is a little too sensitive for my liking, but a few CGA games I tried seem to work well (Telengard, Ultima IV, Legacy of the Ancients.)

You'll need to put DOSBOX.CONF from adosbox.googlecode.com in the root folder of your sdcard.

I don't make any promises as to whether this works or how well it works!

*edit*

Just to clarify, this is not MY port, all I did was take someone else's hard work and fix keymappings for the G2.

Also, no matter what you set the CPU cycles to, it seems to run as fast as it possibly can. It consumes 100% CPU usage and does not hibernate in the background when you switch apps, so be careful!

DOSbox!

thx
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] keenerb:
Has this worked for anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Barret7sc:
This worked for me, which is great. Made it easier to play with.

It is a tad slow, and there is no sound, but hey, it's dosbox on a friggin cell phone!

The real problem with this port is the lack of a good way to do savestates in DosBox. Since the video hardware can be weird and restoring its state can be tricky there is no official support for saves states in DosBox at all, although there have been some patches.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic here. Thanks for the work fixing the keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sir turtle:
How did you do this? I have a motorola Flipside and I would like to fix the adosbox key mappings for it. Is there anything I can do with settings like the Mapper.txt file, or does it require modifying the code? (I know its not the best phone but my family is on att and they are paying the bill)

How did you modified the bindings? I've changed left and right arrow keys mappings to shift and dot in mapper-0.74.map but it has disabled trackpad x axis :(

And do you know which codes have these two shortcut keys (that ones with three dots and numbers)?

I'm trying to remap keys for adosbox 0.2.5

Greetings.

----------edit---------

I've managed to change the:

Left FN - it's recognised as Left alt key

Left Shift

Tab

...as 3 of 4 arrow keys.

This disables trackpad scrolling however.

But it let's for playing dos games like Hocus Pocus and so on where you need arrow keys.

Do you (or anyone) know what are the numbers of following keys?:

Keyboard menu key

Shortcut key 1

Shortcut key 2

Search key

Sym key

We've got much room to bind.

Or maybe anyone knows where or how to check those numbers?

I know you are not the original author of the android port of DOSBox but I just cannot get any replies from the person listed as the author and I need to find out how to change things like the display resolution, etc.and thought you might know.

I have a dos program that runs fine on my DOSBox 0.74 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. But every time I try to run it on aDOSBox installed on my rooted android 2.3.4 phone, aDOSBox crashes and throws me out into android. I need to find out how to find out what is causing the crash. I think it might be the display but am not sure. Can you help?

[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
I don't know if this has been posted before or not, but there is a simple solution for those who are having problems getting into Clockwork Recovery after they root their phones. I for one was one of those people...until the solution was brought to my attention last night. WHILE RUNNING THE ROOT PROCESS, when your phone reboots unplug it and pull the battery BEFORE it gets past the initial samsung screen, THEN BOOT INTO RECOVERY and viola!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have Clockwork Recovery. May I remind you that this wasn't thought out by me...I'm just the messenger.:D

[EDITED] Sorry folks, in case you didn't know already, I forgot to mention a couple things. To get into recovery you need to hold down the VOL DOWN and CAMERA buttons while pressing and hold POWER button down until the recovery screen comes up. There are two types: BLUE TEXT=ANDROID RECOVERY or GREEN TEXT=CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. You are good to go if the text is green.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mousiluck:
Don't forget to add the differences between recovery and clockwork. Recovery is blue and clockwork is green. If it's blue you are not in clockwork. Also to hold down volume down, power, and the camera button at the same time when you boot your phone to get into clockwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
Thanks for the heads up.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jdsemler:
Has anyone tried Navigon on their Captivate? I remember seeing some speculation that apps that rely on Google Maps may have bad tracking due to software. Just curious how well Navigon performs before I plunk down the cash.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] d1g1talphyre:
the new version of Navigon that came out yesterday, actually runs on a map pack you download. It even says to make sure your on wifi in the app description on the market.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
My GPS on my Captivate hasn't been as bad as some. While using Google Nav, I'll occasionally get the dreaded blue circle, but for the most part, it keeps me on the road.

I bought this yesterday and had it download the maps. I used it for a 30 minute drive to work and it worked good for me. It kept me on the road, didn't lag and had accurate maps (since they're NAVTEQ like Garmin uses). Halfway here, the app did close and restart itself and I had to re-select my destination. Not sure what happened there, but I'll try it on my way home again too.

Its got some nice features. It announces street names like Google Nav (CoPilot doesn't do this I don't think). It has Google Live Search for POIs, which is a HUGE plus for me instead of relying on a static database. Has red light camera alerts and quite a few other features.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] driftking_07:
i use navigon on daily basis and i love it. better than any other navigation software for android.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fatttire:
Just got the Navigon app. Love it!!!

Here's my take: all features aside, it seems to be better at dealing with Samsungs funky GPS than Google Navigation.

With Google navigation, I'd be driving and all of a sudden it'd think I was a block laterally and it'd wreak *havok* on my turn by turn directions. This is called losing a lock.

With Navigon, didn't happen in my 30min test in downtown Chicago. my phone acted just like the iPhone I had before it.

I don't think this app fixed GPS. I think it just knows how to deal with crummy hardware / drivers :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fatttire:
Also guys its on sale on for 2 weeks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
Installed tonight...45 min drive...quick/basic eval...

There are features I like about this, and in my basic test tonigh, I have not been able to test some of the 'fancy' features mentioned above. Here are some initial thoughts:

The Good

Much more pleasant voice

I loved the fact that it put up a speed limit sign in upper right, showing the speed limit of the street I am on. Updated immediately when SL changed

As others above said, it seems to definitely handle the funky Captivate GPS better

Seemed to get directions faster, and update faster when not following directions, than Google Nav

It does have a Google Search for POIs, although I found it did not bring up a complete list. For example I searched for Walmart. There are 2 in my town, and it brought up only the one closed to me, which is a much smaller one than the other

The Ugly

It did not consistently say street names. In fact most of the time it didn't

If you moved to another app, or if my music player came in front, the NAV stopped working. When I switched back to it, it had to re-load or something (had a wait type message) and then had to reroute

When playing through my Motorola 505 through to radio, the voice played on both the phone and BT, and this phone (maybe all Android phones, I don't know) has a delay at teh bluetooth, so it sounded like an echo

The map had almost none of the streets named as you drove. It just listed the next turn street listed. It didn't even indicate what street you are driving on.

My comparison software would be Google Nav, of course, and also TomTom on Winmo, which I used over the past 3 years. There are features in Navigon that are not in either of those, but for the basics, it doesn't, IMO, come close to Google, nor my OLD TomTom.

My need for this would really be only to have a backup solution should I go somewhere that I cannot receive data for Google. I am undecided whether to keep it or return and hope TomTom is better, whenever it comes out.

I must admit though, one thing that this product, I belive like the others above, may not put me on wrong streets like happesn with the Google Nav. But then, I haven't tested it that much yet.
