[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Your reason??
[Off-topic] WarBird87:
i also dont like the new stuff, it just doesnt sound like the "linkin park" i remember jammin to in highschool and seein in concert...
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
i know it doesn't sound like the old stuff, but it still sounds good.

I thought he had left too, because he formed Fort Minor didn't he? Yes I agree new music... eh... no me gusta
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
My reason is that its pure trash
[Off-topic] freeincolorado:
Linkin Park whines about crap too much. What you need is some Slayer or Anthrax. Perhaps some good, old Bad Religion, Desendants or The Dead Kennedys. That'll put some hair on yer chest.
[Off-topic] DexterMorganNL:
I didn't know they had an new album. There music is really good but I don't have any album off them anymore, but an new ablum should be nice.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
the thread was posted 2 years ago dude :p
[Off-topic] DexterMorganNL:
I don't watch TV or listen radio, so I never really know what for new music is out there, also because I think many pop music these days is crap.

Two years ago I was not an member here. And before I never came in the off topic section.
[Desire HD General] novanab:
Hey guys I just bought my DHD and I was wondering if it is possible to somehow set Russian as my interface language? Now I can only choose French, English, Italian and German. Sorry if I seem like I don't know anything, but.its my first android so I'm kinda lost.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Yes you can. Install LocaleSwitch from the market and you can set any region with any language. And if you are wondering the interface supports cyrillic - it can be made to Bulgarian, so there is no reason it can't be made to Russian.
[Desire HD General] novanab:
Thanks m8 that was helpful I got it working now
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] karlstar:
I got this phone yesterday. I don't understand a few things and also want to do a few things.. so I have some questions. :confused:

1. How do I change the theme from the default?

2. What is 'root'? Or rooting, I don't understand what that does or is.

3. How do I remove the bloat that's pre-installed i.e Peggle, Gold Rush, etc.

4. How do I change from the 4 corner set-up to some of the others I've seen on here.

A link to somewhere that could tell me basic stuff like this would be cool. Thanks in advance. :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] AussieWolfie:
Hey.

To change the look and feel of your phone use adw or launcher pro.

Root is a feature which gives us more controll over our phones.

I'll post links when I am at college for you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10bravia:
Hi,

1. as mentioned by Aussie, you can download and use different launchers. examples are adw and launcherpro. more can be found in the market.

2 and 3. rooting is gaining full access and control to your fone. only when you have rooted your fone can you remove the bloats.

4. like number 1, just use a different launcher.

browse around the site. all of your questions have already been answered. some even have step by step instructions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] stevew84:
I've used Better Keyboard for a while, which isnt too great IMO. I was curious why no one has put newer android keyboards onto the Mytouch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] lagu805:
try droidx multi touch keyboard for mytouch
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] shekki:
It depends on what kind of keyboard you want. Do you want to just tap out your words or do you want to slide your finger around to type?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] stevew84:
I picked up the Droid x keyboard but am having no luck installing. I use Linda file manager and i make my way to /system/lib but it says folder is read only. I'm currently trying to root my Mytouch 3g with the OTA Froyo but having no luck using Superoneclick...keeps freezing at "waiting for device".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] JohnnyP.akaJP:
I wanted to use the defult htc keyboard. No offence goole but the.defult android kb sucks. Imo..using it rite now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Caticorn:
If you want regular typing you'll have a hard time beating the stock, but I'm in love with slideIT (basically swype).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] EternalSoil:
Just posted this elsewhere but I have always loved the HTC keyboard.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X1VCZKSA

There you go.

To get it working, you have to first install it from your sd card then go to local & text or whatever it is in settings and check the touch input box. Then goto something that has a text box and touch-hold and it will say input method then select touch input.

Hope you like it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Swype is ok.I'm using it right now the so is kind of stupid..btw is dvds at download for froyo? I recently upgraded.
[Android Software Development] Zyzzx:
I don't know if this is a stretch or not, but is there a way to mimic/install the voice and video plugin for gmail phone calls on the firefox mobile beta?

BTW. I installed Firefox Beta and started it up, but everything kept wanting to force close and then eventually it froze up and I had to pull the bat. Now that it has booted, it works incredibly awesome.

I also think I may have posted this in the wrong section, I think I wanted to post this in Q&A. How do you delete/move threads?
[Android Software Development] gizmoarena:
Not possible.
[Droid X Android Development] ttereve:
I recently wanted to try rubix 1.6 so i did a nandroid backup beforehand from fission 2.0 (android 2.2.1). Unfortunately my backup wont restore over any 2.2 roms. I would go back to fission 2.0 but cannot find it anywhere.

Any ideas? Would a manual restore through adb work?
[Droid X Android Development] bladebarrier:
Are you just looking for the Fission 2.0 release zip?

2.0.1 (I'm guessing this is the build you had) is the current official release of Fission, and is located on the Team Defuse website. You can find it here: http://www.teamdefuse.com/roms.php

I'm not sure why your nandroid isn't working though. What's the error?
[Droid X Android Development] ttereve:
Well i think its because the backup is from android 2.2.1, and the 2.0 release was version 2.2.1. Fission 2.01+ is android 2.2.

The problem is the restore basically wipes the phone
[Droid X Android Development] bladebarrier:
That's odd. I've swapped between ChevySSX, RubiX blurry and focused, Fission, ApeX, Tranquility, and the OTA 2.2 release, with no issues, using nandroids.

What's the error you're getting, when you try to restore from your backup?
[Droid X Android Development] Jaxidian:
Is this the new OTA that most people don't yet have?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
Hey.

Anyone care for this? I've seen people complaing. Figured another way to give back.

Input plz.
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Day 3 and Im very pleased with this phone. The smoothness, speed, and non lag or freezes fills like Iphone quality. I know that the 1st complaints about WP7 was the ugly square tiles but now that Im using the OS and all that comes with it, I love it! Its all microsoft had claimed it would be. Its Very easy to manage and hassle free! Its just a breath of fresh air not having to deal with so many home screens and/or feeling like having to pass thru an obstacle course to do anything. I believe they went the wright direction with this OS, its simple looking but modern @ the same time. Transitions and effects are very smooth. My only complaint is the external sound quality of the speakers but HTC does have an audio enhancer app (free available) so lets see if that does the trick. But overall Its definitely a beautiful solid device. :) P.S. for those a little upset on not having a removable SD card, you do get 25g of storage on Skydrive so that kinda works out pretty good all tho I heard that it does come with a SD card, its just hidden. But it will void your warranty if you remove the sticker above it.
[HD7 General] hightechlive:
i have had mine for about 24 hours and yes it is a great device,cant keep my hands off it.i just cant wait for more apps and games.i would love to play tiger woods on this big screen.
[HD7 General] theclueless:
the phone itself is pretty solid; the plastic back is a non-factor to me. screen is vivid enough that i dont care that it isnt amoled. although i do wish that the headphone hole is on top instead of bottom
[HD7 General] sketchy9:
I've seen many complaints about the headphone jack location-- I'm genuinely curious why you prefer that? My experience with top headphone jacks is that the cable always gets in the way of the screen.

[HD7 General] harsaphes:
I really miss having LED notifications and for me the battery life is TERRIBLE. Just using my phone for texts and emails all day at work im down to nothing and have to charge it. This is NO browsing or media at all. I feel thats bad.
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Headphone hole on top or bottom for me i dont mind but coming off the Samsung Vibrant its a relief to have the usb on the bottom cause charging the phone in the car and talking on the Vibrant at the same time was a pain.
[HD7 General] f1restarter:
just came back from the T-Mobile store and I have to say this phone is even better than I expected. Microsoft has really done an amazing job for this mobile OS. I never thought I would ever see Microsoft eclipsing iOS when it comes to fluid and seamless user experience but WP7 has done exactly that. Those that said Microsoft is not going after Android but iOS, they were absolutely right.

I just couldn't believe that I was actually enjoying such speed on a last gen cpu based phone whereas the MT4G just sitting next to it seemed like last gen, weird! Pinch to zoom is even better than the Apple 4G and just the overall experience feels very next gen as I'm just tired of the endless widget based UI, but that's just me. To those that are still sitting on the fence, I just want to say that before you make a decision based on forums and youtube videos, go to your nearest T-Mobile store and test the HD7 out for yourself. I'm glad I did. :)
[HD7 General] Ken B:
1 full day

I'm liking it pretty well. Here is a couple of things:

The voice dialing is dead on, but it looks like I have to go back thru my 1200 contacts and change all the "car" #'s to "other" because they are not showing up...it may confuse it to have a "mobile" # and a "car" # for the same contact.

It appears to have really good reception (I have used a Fuze, Sprint Epic, G2, and MyTouch 4G from the basement of a custom home our company is building and the HD7 has done the best on pulling in a signal).

From what I have looked at on the Market, it appears that many apps are just not prime time yet, but let's hope they get better.

One thing I REALLY want to see is Speech to Text on this phone. If they could get Dragon Dictate like whats on the MyTouch 4G, this phone would be exactly what I would want in a phone.

I'll add some more later.
[HD7 General] Kiwi_Dave:
this phone provides the best 'out of the box' experience that I've ever had - by a long way.... Simply unpack and start using, very little modification necessary once you get used to the live tiles.

I do wonder if I'm going to get a bit bored with it though.... part of my 6.5.x enjoyment was 1) *****ing about poor performance and then 2) doing my best to resolve said performance issues. Don't think this is going to be necessary with the HD7 - as it just works.

not a bad problem to have I guess......
[HD7 General] f1restarter:
Yeah, Holes are supposed to be on the bottom. Even mother nature knows that!! :p
[HD7 General] Peew971:
I'm hearing that a lot, that's not good.
[HD7 General] LuRock:
I agree with that, the battery could be better. I still dont understand why they keep building these awesome devices with poor battery life.
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
trying to keep the phones as thin as possible.
[HD7 General] kristyzw:
WP7 is awesome. But I hate this battery!
[HD7 General] zulu208:
I don't have this problem. I streamed tmobile tv for half a day and only 1/4 of the battery was gone, that include browsing, play twin blade, use voice search, voice dial, looking up maps, making phone calls and textings.

Did you guys bleed your battery first or just charged it to full and started using it?
[HD7 General] ajftl:
i found a 1500mha battery made by htc and fits like oem.. the htc wildfire uses it.. gonna go ahead and order that one.

tonight it was the first time taking pics in the dark and i have to say the flash is to damn intense.. need to be far from object otherwise u blind the **** out of people, lol ..there is no brightness setting ...i also found the camera botton not that soft to press ..u have to kinda press it some how a bit hard .. im gonna have to go back to store and check the other hd7
[HD7 General] rob_p:
Gotta say, after the first few day's use, the battery on my wife's phone is doing really well. Don't get me wrong, she's not hammering it during the day, although I do in the evening, but last night it still had about 1/3 of the battery left (according to the little icon anyway which is infuriatingly difficult to interpret!).

The bigger battery sounds promising though!
[HD7 General] adrian_nene16:
are you sure it fits? let us know if it works, if it does work ill buy one too.
[HD7 General] harsaphes:
Searching Google lists many 1500mha batteries for the HD7..now im curious.

Just ordered one. We will see.
[HD7 General] poopilot:
The biggest battery saving step I took was going into settings->email and accounts, and for each account, making sure 'download content' wasn't set to 'as they arrive'.

Unless push email is vital to you, this changed my phone from lasting about 6 hours to lasting 48.
[HD7 General] schAko:
Have done the same, switched off all automatic periodic stuff. Getting 3 days / 2 nights with one charge. ~1,5 hours per day music and ~1 hour per day wifi marketplace and surfing. some short calls and sms too.

Well, I'm kind of impressed, it is better than i thought. And much better than my old diamond.

All other things have been said already by others here. I love this phone.
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Today Im turning the 3G off when Im not using it to see if it makes a difference on the battery life. I believe my problem is that I live in an area were the network is spotty and its always switching from Edge to 3G and Vice Versa all day. From what I ve heard the constant searching for the network will drain the battery.
[HD7 General] Jeimygirl:
My thoughts

Well, I got my HD& last night. I came from an HD2, and have had a G1, Iphone Dash, SDA ect. So I've had my fare share of experience with phones.

Pros:

-No lag or freezing(although this may change after a week or month of using the phone)

- Way more apps than WinMo6.5. I saw a ton of apps that I used on my g1 that had to do with while i had my HD2. Although this is nice, the con is also that there are like 50+ apps for a Tip calculator and a flashlight. But, variety can be nice.

- The auto update squares on the home screen

- Fast, quick switching through windows, very nicely organized.

- Sync with Facebook through the whole phone. I gave family and friends I care about on facebook, I'm not one with 1000 friends I dn't know, so being able to see pictures and updates at a quick glance is nice

-KEYBOARD.. so so so nice! Reminds me of the iPhone's which was the best on screen keyboard I've used.

- Xbox looks real nice, but I don't play games on my phone. but for those that do, it's very very nice.

- Email is way more organized and all the other phone's I've used

cons:

-Can't multitask! My favorite thing to do is listen to music (I used pandora on the HD2) but if you listen to Slacker or are on the facebook app, you can't reply to a text without the program shutting down. This is VERY disappointing as I like to listen to music in the background as I do everything else. I hope someone can change this soon!

- Can't use the phone as a Storage. I like being able to plug in my phone and a folder pop right up on my computer so that I can customize my folders quickly and easily. Now I have to find a way to do it without that. I don't have Zune on my computer at work and can't download it. We shall see

- No cute and paste. I use this a lot (and yes i know it should come next year, but for now it's a con)

- Empty Space on the home screen. Although I do like the live squares, I do with that you could customize the sizes and where in the screen they can go. I don't see the need for the "arrow", that whole bar on the right should be customized space for more squares, which as more contacts. This may seem cluttered, but I would like that. You can swipe to the right without having to press the arrow. Hopefully Cookie can come up with a home tab that use's WinPho7's live squares with a little more customizing.

Those are my 2 cents for now. I've used it for less than 24 hours so I'm sure there is more to come...
[HD7 General] Jeimygirl:
And I agree with everyone else that the battery sucks! BUT it is very expected, and nothing new coming from several Smartphones, with a phone that could almost control every electronic in your home right?
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Good thoughts on the pros & cons, but yes I believe in my XDA chefs, & I know they will cook up some good meals for us. :)
[HD7 General] ariel123:
This is phone epic I love it. My friend has an evo and he's switching from sprint to tmo just get an hd7. This thing really attracts attention everywhere I go. Although it bothers me that the YouTube app sucks, no multitasking, and you can't use an mp3 as a ringtone. Besides that I can deal with the other things ms took out. I'm just hoping when the 1st update is available it brings back all those. Missing features
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Have you tried the YouTube from LazyWorm? its much better than the one that came with the phone.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
Btw for everyone having a battery issue. Just let your phone battery drain out, then let the phone charge complete without using it and you should see a huge improvement on the battery life and it also charges quicker. That's what worked for me.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
I just tried it but how is this aoo anybetter it still requires me to use the original YouTube app and I still get horrible quality
[HD7 General] LuRock:
well I know unless your on wifi the videos aint gonna look too good. thats on any phone. Dont know if 4G changes that. But I rather go thru Lazyworm (much nicer UI)
[HD7 General] ariel123:
do you still have the original youtube app installed?
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Yeah I have both. Why?
[HD7 General] ariel123:
it the other youtube app is just for show basically it still doesnt improve the video quality
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Yeah basically..
[HD7 General] ariel123:
lol no offense but thats a fail. i still love the phone though cant get it off it
[HD7 General] LuRock:
I was using the map app today and I must say very accurate and once again the transitions and effects are impressive. I like the drop effect, just like when you delete an email, awesome! :)
[HD7 General] LuRock:
A clock tile would be nice on this ph.
[HD7 General] adesonic:
I'll second that!
[HD7 General] newjaruz:
Well I have quite a few thoughts about this phone and the new Windows Mobile iteration known as 7. At first, when I initially saw it unveiled online I was unimpressed and was not sold on the new UI approach and look. As months went on and I saw videos of hands on time... slowly but surly it got to me... then I saw the HD7 and thought I would take a stab at the OS... I stopped by the local Tmo store and played with it for a few mins. Sure enough... I was sold. I am an android lover but I cant say I dislike the new Winmo. IMHO I believe it is the most polished mobile OS i have used yet. Not that I don't have my qualms/gripes with the softwares shortcomings but all in all it is a great experience and alternative to other great options on the market.

I have issues with:

no 3rd party multi-tasking

copy paste

browser could be a little better (acid 3 score [5/100])

(i wish MS would adopt a webkit browser but sadly i know they wont)

slow start up on 3rd party apps.. seems like they take for ever to launch

and its like they are never cached so that when you go back in you wont have to reload them.

But like i said its a new OS and I know I was an early adopter with android

and was also missing quite a few features then.

Now happily using Nexus and HD7. and am happy to be a fan of both.
[HD7 General] mrmomoman:
My one big disappointment that I thought I could overcome and I do not think that I can is the reception in my area. I have tried since Nov 7th when I picked up the phone to accept the poor reception in my area and especially in my home. I love the HD7 but it doesn't matter if the reception in my own home cannot be resolved. It was like this 5 years ago and it is like this when the HD2 came out and now the HD7. I thought with the TMOBILE upgrades would bring new towers or upgraded reception in a very heavily populated area. I live less than a mile from a main Tmobile store where inside the store its only 3 bars max.

Needless to say I continue to get no bar, 1 bar 3 bars and back to no bars. Outside of the home it works well. But I will not stand outside my home or near my window to resolve this.

I am disappointed to say the least and most likely will return it tomorrow. I will move on to AT&T or just wait for Verizon or Sprint. The reason I liked the HD7 so much is that I love my EVO.

I will have to cancel my order for the Dell Venue Pro as well. Since that will be no different. It's not the PHONE it's TMOBILE. I want to make that clear. It was like that 5 years ago in the same area and I tried all types of phones. It was like that less than a year ago when the HD2 came out and now the HD7 :(

Not sold on the Focus yet. I will have to play with it some more. It feels cheap to me. So does my fascinate but the screen is first rate. Still not overly keen on PenTile matrix.

Sorry just a rant....disappointed one at that....
[HD7 General] LuRock:
I feel what your saying, the reception where I live is not too good ether. T mobile have always come out with great phones but poor network. Even my friend that works over at a T-mo store told me that. He says he dont understand that ether. I was thinking of switching to AT&T but their plans are expensive. I pay $180 for 2 phones everything unlimited. If you want an Iphone from At&t every.Unlimited its gonna cost you almost $140 for just one line. Dont know why T mobile is even messing with HSPA+ when their 3G has never been all that. At least for me.. Hope they get their act together but I ve been hoping ever since the G1 came out :(

(((Still Love what Microsoft has done with this OS tho....
[HD7 General] humblehyper:
The speakerphone is very very soft, you can barely hear it. I hope they fix that. Like the others say, when you listen to slacker and receives a call it won't resume the playback anymore.
[HD7 General] ariel123:
I like the fact that I just uploaded 600 songs and 32 music videos and the phone still runs smooth :-D
