Navigon is a new one on the market thats supposed to be good. I haven't tried it personally although I am considering it. Its on sale for $40 for a limited time as an intro price before it kicks up to $60 or something. Has live traffic and a "reality view" which looks kinda like layar.

Anyone actually tried it yet?
[G2 and Desire Z General] G1_enthusiast:

The problem with Google and Waze and some of the other "free" options are that they all require a data connection. Unfortunately, when I need GPS the most is in places where cell phone signals are weak/non-existent... I used TomTom for ever on WM.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
so say i did a nandroid back up after i flashed a custom rom, does the nandroid also back up the current settings, apps, logins, home screen layouts for that particular custom rom? So you could have different nandroids of different ROMS?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Yes.

It clones everything on your rom and restores everything the exact way it was when you backed it up.

I've yet to find anything Nandroid didn't restore.

And yes.

You can have different Nand backups for multiple roms and you can switch between them without reflashing the rom and starting over.

(Just make sure to wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik when switching between roms)

Is there any way to change the order of the punctuation when using the t9 keyboard? It makes absolutely no sense to me that "at" comes up first when hitting the punctuation key. I'd much prefer if it were possible to change it so that the question mark comes up first, considering it is used far more often than "at".

Hey all i havent gotten a change to go check out the hd7 at a tmobile store yet but i was wondering if its using the same screen as the hd2? like not the type (ex. lcd, super lcd, amoled) but like when the screens off and u view the screen at an angle and you see that grid of dots on the screen? thanks
[HD7 General] silverkiller:
it does have a grid, yes
[HD7 General] ckacey:
yes, I think it's how capacitive screens work on a consumer scale, my Tablet PC, Zune HD, HTC/TmoUS-G1, HD2, HD7, and a few friends touchscreen devices all have this. The depth of the pits, and the size of the grid seems to vary though

thanks for the informative response! i was kind of hoping it didnt have it, as i dont see them at all on my uncles evo, oh well im still gonna get it haha, thanks again.

Hey everyone,

I just received my Samsung Captivate today and i'm very excited.

I've been reading and i'm still on the fence on if i should install Eclair 2.1 or Froyo 2.2

I'm looking at the Cognition app to start off with.

Any opinions would be great

Thanks
[Captivate General] Circular Pastry:
Gingerbread :-D

tapatalked from my SUpersonic.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Eclair is the stock app, and is already installed on Captivate. Since you bought you phone today, it should be already updated to the latest 2.1 JF7 update.

I'd recommend to install Froyo. There are some good upgrades in that, esp w.r.t to the gmail app and the shortcuts available in the notifications bar. Also, I could notice my phone faster on Froyo.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Your best bet is any of the FroYo i9000 ROMs.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate General] savva:
I went with the Cognition ROM 2.2 Froyo.

I will do some reading on those 9000 and once i get enough info i'll jump ship if needed :)
[Captivate General] andrewjrr:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phen0m:
Ok so I had just flashed to Myns latest rom, im re-customizing..etc etc.. I was messing around in the activities/Long press menu on the home screen, trying to find a way to link a speakerphone shortcut to my home screen.

I cant remember exactly what i pressed, but then I got about a million "forced closes" followed by freezing and a reset by the phone.. this behavior continued even through a reboot.

So far ive flashed about three different roms, and none of them solve my problem, which is..right now.. I have no signal at all.. its like my phone is stuck in airplane mode.. but its not, as my battery is showing "time without signal" at 100%.

My internet does work, and oddly, i can dialout just fine, and while doingso,my signal returns.. but as soon as i hangup.. it goes away again.. Cant receive calls(they go straight to vmail), cant receive texts.

Any ideas?

Ok well as some of you may know I'm the co developer of the popular WM Touch of Glass theme. See here for screen shots etc: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740832

I would like to bring this to our device. Most of the Android Icons are already made, and if there is any needed I can make them.

Since I'm fairly new to Android I'm not sure how to go about changing the icons. Could someone with more knowledge on this PM me or guide me a little?

Then I will try to get this started.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicvx94:
Any chance you can share the icons you've already made? I don't think compiling a metamorph theme is that difficult and I'm sure someone would be up for it.

In the mean time, there is an app called "Desktop Visualizer" in the market that allows you to use custom icons for apps..takes some time since you have to do each individually, but it works great!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsbbq:
All the icons can be found in the link in the OP. There are some just for Android and or you can get the entire pack which may have more Android Icons. Also there is a template for making your own icons.

Yes I hope someone will make a theme with these. I just don't have the time right now.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
Where do I get the app for the phone ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
The title states this can be used as an HD Webcam... I tried the standard HD resolution (From Wikipedia: 720p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes having a resolution of 1280×720) but with this resolution the app FC's which it states it does if not setup correctly. The highest resolution I can goto is 480x480, going any higher on either height or width causes distortion in the picture. Anyone have any other suggestions for getting this to be HD?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saturn2888:
At least you can get it to work. I used the recommended settings, it still wants me to force close; even in 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7, it only shows the DroidCam logo in the Skype video area.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
Could that be to do with the connection you're using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saturn2888:
Isn't it only Wi-Fi? Should I use EasyTether and try it like that over the USB cable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
AFAIK it is only wifi, what I meant is could it be the pc isn't "seeing" the phone over the network? Or vice-versa.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saturn2888:
Well the phone connected, the PC says "Connected". I could only get the phone to connect once though. Once I've connected and disconnected by a force close, the program no longer connected even when I can telnet into the computer on that port. This happened to all 3 computers I tried.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
Hmm, that is rather weird, even after the FC's for me it still works, I just lowered the resolution. All I can think of is telling the dev about it and see if they can help or if someone else here can help. I don't know that much about the way this works really.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saturn2888:
Oddly enough, I think I could try it via EasyTether and see since that /is/ an Ethernet connection meaning it will work to connect by IP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ADeadlySpoon:
Ah I see, well give it a try and tell me if that works please, because I'd quite like to be able to use something like that rather than over wifi.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Saturn2888:
I confirmed it worked. Thanks for the idea :P. Well; you didn't quite give me the idea but you helped me come up with it ;).

Although, the same issue is happening with the transport something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] elracing21:

Is there a way to include additionnal codecs for the default player, instead of installing another music player?

For instance to add Flac, ogg and m4a support.
[Defy Themes and Apps] ZootHornRollo:
i haven't used the music player app yet - am waiting for my 16GB sdcard and car mount - but lack of flac/ogg is a bit of a no brainer for me - it's minimum requirement.

i guess i'd better start hunting around. I noticed WinAmp has released a beta that syncs over WiFi but i guess that will only be with WinAmp Windows version - i run Ubuntu.
[Defy Themes and Apps] BizzaBoy:
I have tried pretty much all of the readily available players. Ended up with PowerAMP, as it's the only one where you have the equalizer so that you can compensate for some lousy headphones (yes, my DEFY is my main music player).

The builtin music player is intresting, but I feel everything is just tooo many taps away. Also I find it utterly confusing how you get out of one Album and search for the next one ...

Most of the other player apps are just rehashes of the existing players without anything new featurewise that makes them compelling.
[Defy Themes and Apps] Jt612:
I'm looking into getting a defy and I was only lurking these forums, but your post made me register. You say you use your defy as your main music player? can I inquire as to how long straight it can play music for? from 100%-0% (or close to) battery?

As I plan on replacing my mp3 player as well when/if I get a defy. I'm tired of carrying around both my phone and music player all the time.
[Defy Themes and Apps] disturkis4u:
The defy battery status is in increments of 10%... i have a one hour commute and didn't lose anything while using mp3 mode on airplane mode(bc i take the subway)
[Defy Themes and Apps] Jt612:
so i guess it is right to assume you could get at least 10 hours then? this is acceptable... Id probably only use about 4 hours a day. pretty much set on this phone now... had any grievances with it?
[Defy Themes and Apps] stfnlg:
As i use my Defy as my only mp3-player, i would like to inform you, that there is a equalizer in the phone.

Settings --> Sound and Display--> Audio-Effects for Media --> then the first one.

Sorry, my english is bad, my settings are in german language. Hope you find it.

For me, the sound is great, using the Equalizer with the filter "Bass-Schlag" (the 2. Filter).

Sorry for my English, but i think, this one is important.

Best regards

Unfortunately when I tried them with Streamfurious, I could hear a fairly loud noise. It's only there with the EQ/DSP effects enabled and while the effect would be good with the earphones the noise is often unbearable. :(

hi,

is there any way to get the music app to rescan the sd card for music files?

I changed my card from the stock 2GB card to a new 16GB. I copied all the files on the old card over to the new card then switched them over.

I have now switched on my Defy, the music files are all visible in astro and can be played by clicking on them but when i go into my library in the media player app i get a message saying there are no music files on the sd card.

edit : the gallery app picks up the photo's just fine so it appears to be only the media app

edit 2 : it appears to sorted itself now. i guess it was just taking a bit of time to rescan in the background.
[Defy Themes and Apps] vanloque:
I was looking for another player to be able to read ogg files, but the Defy reads them without issues!

So that's perfect, i'm gonna convert a ton of my Flac collection into Ogg, and get one of those huge µSD cards!

Only thing that could be better, is the fact that i have to put the volume at about half the bar to get a good volume, whatever earphones i use. I wonder if there's a way to make the player raise the sound volume a bit more?
[Defy Themes and Apps] BizzaBoy:
Sorry for this late respons.

Yes, I use the DEFY as my main music player. I have used my phones always for this, since my first D750i ;-) I cannot really say how much it runs with the music player on. Looking at the battery stats the player shows up in the very low range (<= 5%) compared to standy/idle, which are 95%. So I'd say you are more bound by other things. The phone itself survives for me 2 days without recharging.

Couple of more comments. I do use for our cars here either a 3.5mm connector to the stereo, or one of those cassette inserts (make sure you turn of the dolby noise reduction). With this setup, you have a hands free as well. The incoming call gets put onto your speaker system, and the mic is good enough to directly work. No fiddeling around required. The other thing is that with PowerAMP the Scullcandy kits for my Smith Ski helment works nicely. You can use 1 to 3 button pushes on the little control that comes with it to pause/play, forward, backward. Of course at the same time you can take phone-calls. Actually with PowerAMP you also can select a short-push/long-push setup as alternative, which I found easier to deal with if you ski in the trees and the current song just does fit your rythm.

Ah, one more thing. I am kind of old-school. I am using winamp to maintain my music database on the PC. Main reason originally was that the pro version thereof had good AAC-HE encoding. With that encoding you can use 64k over the normal AAC-LE with 256k. With most speaker systems you cannot tell the difference (at least I cannot). At the end of the day it saves however a HUGE chunk of space on the SD card. You might want to use mp3tag along with winamp.

As somebody else noted in the thread, there is some other setting available in the system settings. What I do there (or did there) is to add some bass so that other apps don't sound so ultra bad. This is very useful for listening to FM radio, or say pandora/last.fm/di.fm (online music, that plays rather nicely, even in the car).
