Hello.

HTC promised upgrade to Froyo for Legend before the end of October, but it is now November and still no update.

On Italian Android Forum, owners of this phone are rightly angry, and decided to protest strongly on the htc facebook page. So I also invite you to protest, so that the protest is larger and HTC should listen.

The page is

http://www.facebook.com/HTC

You can write what you want, like "Froyo on legend!" or "Htc sucks, we want Froyo!".
[Legend General] Bambiookoo:
Had a quick look at the page and you're right, there do seen to be a fair amount of people shouting for the Legends long overdue FroYo but I'm doubtful how much attention HTC will pay given the phones they've just release and the upcoming handsets.

That said I'll still be adding my name to the list. Otherwise its back to custom ROMs for me o_O
[Legend General] Metallaro:
I do not know if HTC will listen to our messages on his page, write once a day, "We want legend" does not cost anything.

Htc page is now full of messages like that, so we continue to write.:D
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
How often does HTC check their Facebook page lol..

Flooding mark moons Twitter account might be more effective ...
[Legend General] Metallaro:
Yeah, you're right. I don't have a twitter account, but if you have it, write on Flooding mark moons Twitter account :D

owever on the page of htc in English, there are ignoring for now, but on italian page they are angry and have banned all those who wrote :D:D
[Legend General] Bambiookoo:
Well at least we are getting noticed by them :D
[Legend General] homi3kh:
Great work guys, keep up the good work... ;)
[Legend General] CrazyPeter:
Why does HTC Suck? Because they are ensuring Froyo on Legend is done properly? That's a very strange concept, as those same users will be the first to complain if it arrived broken.
[Legend General] Metallaro:
Yeah, yeah, I do not care what you think.

If you look at the last 20 posts on the bulletin Htc, 15 are messages that ask for froyo on legend :D

continue like that!
[Legend General] Firecold:
They should've ensured this update to be released as sheduled. 3 months passed since desire got 2.2, legend update was sheduled at Q3 those days. September aka Q3 passes, htc says we'll have update by the end of october etc. etc. Seems like they hired some bull to regularly defecate on update's status:mad:

What i mean is: it must've arrived months ago, w/o any bugs
[Legend General] petertakov:
Well, they have ensured that quite swiftly for other phones. How come the Legend is the most difficult?
[Legend General] warriorofice:
HTC Lies every day because the Gratia´s port to Legend woks fine, the only issue are the drivers.

i don´t like update delay, but i really hate liars!!!
[Legend General] virani_joush:
Okay I'll add my name on the list... let's see....
[Legend General] Teeceman:
Whilst the Froyo update has been promised and HTC seem to be making Legend owners wait some time for it, they are letting themselves down even more by not even fixing the SMS bug problem which deserved an immediate patch as it is a broken feature.
[Legend General] randy_khoo:
Have a feeling...

I just have a feeling that HTC just wanna grab the opportunity to sell a 'metal' desire phone to the consumers first.

It seems peculiar that as much as HTC claimed low stocks of AMOLED, a sudden black phantom of the legend popped out of nowhere...

hence, it is possible that the legend was delayed because:

a) it will be given HD recording... Possible, but unlikely. I think i've read somewhere that the specs for the camera is similar to the desire. This could be a reason htc wanted to hold back the market for consumers to get a metal desire (and thus earn more instead of a legend)

b) people are craving for metal phones. The Legend sold well. In my country, all exclusive providers sold out the legend. (and it went to sell on 3 major telcos). this might be the reason why HTC wanted people to start picking up the HD and Z version of the desire.

c) they might try the new htc sense on the legend. Who knows? I'm not sure, but i think the gratia has no new sense... (i could be wrong on this).

Whatever it is, the legend was pretty much the litmus test that htc needed before manufacturing metal phones. Reason being was that the original desire DID NOT HAVE a metal casing. Why? The desire is HTC's flagship! And possibly, the legend has been overshadowing the desire quite a bit, and making it more likely that they might just want to put the metal switch to desire before bumping the legend. If the bump the legend now, people might just pick up more legends instead of waiting for the Desire hd and z...

Whatever it is, the desire hd and z has been launched... I expect froyo to come to the legend within a week or 2 after that...

For it to FOTA the legend to froyo before the new desires reaches all corners of the world is VERY UNLIKELY...
[Legend General] g0dshead:
I honestly do not believe this.. i recon HTC is just interested in selling more phones and while doing that they devoloped loads on new products and tossed the legends development department staff along with the rest of the desire crew. and now that they are selling well they eventualy will pickup (when time allows) to continue the 2.2 little by little.
[Legend General] raf2k:
Never buy a mid range phone from HTC.

The history repeats. First circus with HTC Hero and now with Legend.
[Legend General] Metallaro:
our protests have taken effect and HTC said that the update is imminent.

but they repeatedly said the same thing, and then continue to write.
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Holy ****, it worked...
[Legend General] TheLegendaryJay:
There is a difference between releasing an update which updates existing OS's and installing a rooted ported OS from scratch. HTC have said they are having trouble with the Market after installing the update, much like the issues the Desire had.

Personally I'm quite happy to wait for a polished product :) imagine how much more you'd moan if they released it with loads of bugs :D

[Legend General] homi3kh:
They said only update, but there's no word of Froyo...

If you look at the title of the discussion thread where they posted that message there can be no doubt they are talking about a Froyo update...

[G2 and Desire Z General] mcp2009:
For some odd reason whenever I plug in headphones or my aux cord into the headphone port the music starts playing through the phone earpiece. This just randomly started after I woke up and I uninstalled any new apps and reset settings in poweramp and rebooted. No music plays through the headphones or my car when the aux cord or headphones are plugged in, only through the earpiece and when nothings plugged in it plays through the phone speaker just fine. Any ideas or clues? Any help is much appreciated, probably something right in front of my face

Email.apk

Hi guys

I have found a email replacement app which is much better in my opinion.

It has a modern look and you can different exchange accounts, hotmail, gmail and other.

Once you add the different accounts you can view a combined inbox where each account has it's own color. Very neat app in my opinion.

http://jvance.com/blog/2010/04/14/EmailSignatureInAndroidFixed.xhtml

The app works on the 2.1 ROM (it will not work for 1.6). I did the following : (You need root to install this app)

- Download the email.apk from the link

- Put the file on your SD card

- Open Root explorer (can be found on the market if you don't have it)

- go to /system/app/

- rename SemcEmailSmall.apk to SemcEmailSmall.apk.bac (you create a backup of the file)

- go to /sdcard

- find the file email.apk

- long press on the file and choose move

- go back to /system/app/

- choose paste

- click on the email.apk and choose install

After that you can close Root explorer and open the app and configure your e-mails.

Good luck.

Hi, I am trying to find the MAC address for my BenQ e72 for 1 week, but still couldnt find. I have googled it thousand times but no result. Can anyone help me with finding the MAC address?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] tobbbie:
MAC address for which interface? You have MAC address for the WLAN - which you can read from the router you are connected to (or WIFI connection properties in WM6). The Bluetooth MAC address should be possible to read from the BT configuration in the device or similar to the WIFI strategy from a device where it connects to - e.g. the Laptop if it has BT.

Why do you need the MAC addresses?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] devoure:
I need mac address for WLAN. Beacuse i have to register my university's wireless network with my mac address in order to use the internet.
[Epic 4G General] ant7088:
I've had my Epic for 2 weeks from the Sunday that just past. I'm starting to see some light scratches in the middle of my qwerty keyboard from sliding it open & closed. It starts (worst) at the #5 & goes down through the T, G, V, & Spacebar. Then from the #4 down to the comma & also #6 down to the spacebar.

So my questions are - Is this happening to anyone else? Is my phone defective and/or will Sprint or Samung warranty? Or do I have to just deal with it?

Any help or advise would be appreciated
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
Not happening to me.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Are u using a case? I hear some cases cause scratches. Or u may have a defective unit, my unit had a defective hinge that broke after a month os noral use n sprint fixxed it no prob. I have tep though so if u don't have tep and are out of 30 days they may charge u 35 bucks.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] ant7088:
No I don't have a case & never used 1, it's just scratching from opening & closing the qwerty alone. I do have tep, but only had the phone for 16 days so I guess I'll just call Sprint 1st & see what they tell me

Thanks alot
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Yeh, I have had 2 epics and my first one had an issue with scratches on the keyboard from sliding it out. My 2nd one hasn't had any issues like that though...

I ended up returning the first one because of a lot of screen wobble, well the 2nd one developed it in 3 weeks - month after getting it. It's definitely not a deal breaker but kind of sad since its so new.
[G1 Apps and Games] el_smurfo:
Anyone try it? How does it compare to Swype? I think Dev made a mistake in not releasing a demo version...not worth the effort to buy then refund just to try something unproven.
[G1 Apps and Games] flaxjef:
It is horrible
[G1 Apps and Games] Gramon:
It has a very large learning curve that I don't believe most people will bother with. However, with a few updates, it looks like it would be a decent replacement keyboard.

I've read a couple others mention that we need to be able to alter the letter placement based on the user's preferences and I full agree with this.

The biggest mistake I keep making is adding a "." instead of an "s"

When and if they add a dictionary with corrective functionality, I think 8Pen would be used more. That being said, I doubt that I will keep it over swype but I've decided to try it for at least a week to see how fast I can get with it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickyshocker:
hi all

dont know if anyone can help or point me in the right direction but i found this yesterday

Phone music & calls to PC Speakers

For me the headset & AV service work perfectly, straight away.

Turn on bluetooth, pair with your PC, and touch again to connect.

Apparently my old HTC Desire had these services (AV Source and Headset) but it always paired but didn't maintain a connection... no obvious reason, didn't bother to look up why lol.

I was just excited when as soon as I connected with my PC with WP7, the Headset service asked for permission and after that all phone audio came through!

Old news to some but it is really cool having your phone blast music through your PC speakers wirelessly absolutely no effort or hassle at all!

NOW IVE PAIRED TO MY WIN7 LAPTOP BUT WHEN I TAP ON COMPUTER ON THE MOZART IT COMES UP NOT CONNECTED. ANY IDEAS?

SECOND WHEN MY MOZART PLAYS SMS TONES WHEN PHONE IS IN STANDBY ITS LIKE IT HAS A HICKUP, IT STARTS PLAYING SKIPS AND FOR PERHAPS 1/2 A SECOND AND CARRIES ON. ANY IDEAS ON THAT ONE EITHER?

So now that 2.1 is out, would a bluetooth keyboard work with the X10 Mini?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I doubt it.. well.. at least, I am still having issues connecting to a computer (its like its still the old crappy 1.6 firmware) I thought this would all be sorted once 2.1 rolled out.. I guess sony ericsson forgot to implement bluetooth 2.1 protocol in the 2.1 Android build.. unless they don't use bluetooth in Nordic regions? :mad:

anyone else had better luck? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] snewdel:
Bluetooth was initially developed in Scandinavia, its named after Harald I of Denmark (Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson) and the Bluetooth symbol is a frekkin' rune.

On the more serious side. It most definitely should work. Not because of the above but because - ugh, I don't even think I have to list the reasons. Does anyone has any experience with Bluetooth keyboards and the X10 Mini?

Is it expected to be the same with the entire X10 series, by the way?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] EgoErgaOmnes:
I tried with the Logitech DiNovo Mini, no luck.

All I got is "Paired but not connected" on the X10 mini and the BT light blinking red on the keyboard (meaning it's not paired nor connected)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
So.. sewdel.. care to share the list of reasons you have that this "should" work? I can give you a few reasons it won't work.. the fact that the X10mini (and pro?) are missing all the services that you would usually find on a SE phone. like.. Dial-up networking (DUN), Drivers for keyboard, mice etc (HID), OBEX SyncML, Media Remote control, SEMC HLA (don't even know what that is..), SEMC Watch Phone, Serial port (SPP), file transfer (FTP)

(this was just what my old K850i offered.. none of which the X10mini supports)

even the MW600 SE bluetooth headset doesn't work right with the X10 (and it was made to go with it!!).. so why "Should" a bluetooth keyboard work? :rolleyes:

SE can't implement BT under android.. with their old phones they were gods.. I think Android is just too difficult for them.. (and I was really looking forward to track id with the MW600.. but its never gonna happen) :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
You can get a BT HID drivers for Android here:

http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid

(Cost 10 Euros, but a free trial is available)

Can anyone give this a try?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
I don´t have anything to try it on.. but it looks promising, I wonder if there are other apps out there that can give us other features.. like caller id and mp3 names on bluetooth headsets.. :cool:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] .x.x.x.Peria:
Oh man, I almost purchased an MW600 but as I read that it can't display caller's name (and track names) with Android devices, then I felt that it's display is useless.

These features are in the library BlueZ uses by Android - so, to support it would be just a _very_ little afford from Google.

If I would be at SE, I would implement even a propertary sopport for SE Android devices...

If that fills up can you move apps to an SD Card?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I'm working on a music player and I'm running my MediaPlayer object within a service so that I can run other stuff while the music is playing. For the most part this works. If I leave the activity for any reason (like hitting the "home" key), then go back, I BindService in OnCreate and this usually links me to the already running service and I can pick up where I left off. However, sometimes BindService launches a new service and the original becomes orphaned. Then I've got two songs playing on top of each other and I have to kill the whole process with a task killer to stop the orphaned service. I can't seem to figure out what set of conditions causes this so it's difficult to debug.

Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
After tons of searching, I found some informative posts over at stackoverflow.com. Seems that if you bind to a service using the default ContextWrapper, you can get a different context with a different instance of an activity. If you use the application context (from GetApplicationContext) for binding, it should always bind to the same service.
