I attempted this a while back when my internet went out but gave up cause i didnt want to break the wifi router to router link i had with my printer upstairs. im using dd-wrt firmware on a wrt54g router. its theoretically possible and if i had a g2 with tmo 4g speeds I would probably get rid of my att dsl and just use the phone for large transfers lol

For the battery cal, there is a chip inside the battery. We just found out it has a built in learn cycle to re calibrate it. In addition we are experimenting by raising the voltage and current set points to maximize the capacity. The new changes in pershoots kernel let's you access the batt internal chip to pull all your values.

Hi guys,

I do have a lot of contacts on my phone and this has perhaps caused a problem.

I'm currently on the Froyo stock ROM - and i noticed earlier that my contacts list amounts to about 20MB of space.

That's quite a lot since moving apps to sdcard is still limited in froyo stock.

Went to settings -> applications -> manage apps -> ALL -> Contacts storage

This file is 20MB big!

I've cleared data and copied a vcf backup and it's now 4MB.

Everytime my phone sync contacts with google or fb, the filesize blooms again.

Technically, i could disable sync contacts for gmail/fb/twitter, but i foresee this not as a long term solution.

Any ideas to keep this file size small and snappy?

or a contact application optimizer app?
[Legend General] cdfs:
Sounds to me, as if the profile-pictures are your problem. You could try to disable FB-Contact-sync and see, if the size still increases. If this is really the problem, then, technically speaking, your solution would be to downsize those profile pictures. Problem with this is, you would have to check after every fb-sync, if there were changes. I don't know of any app that handles this automaticaly fo you, but maybe there is a dev who has some spare time and like the idea?
[Legend General] randy_khoo:
Thanks for the feedback. I've already disabled sync with FB/gmail for contacts.

Hope someone might be keen to develop something for this. It's pretty annoying to have your contacts taking up space instead of having angry birds on your phone. LOL.
[Legend General] robto:
You really have a lot of contacts!! I have around 800 contacts and current storage is 8.59 mb.

So, 20 mb means you should have around 35.000 contacts. Is that right more or less? It is just to check. For example, if you have 300 contacts, then it is very strange that your Legend requires 20 mb and then, maybe, there is something wrong there.

I have a very rich info in my contacts, (phone, address, email, notes,...). Maybe you have a lot of pictures? I suppose they require a lot of storage.
[Legend General] randy_khoo:
technically, i have 300 friends with numbers, the others are from previous gmail syncs and totals at 1,200.

But it still doesn't make sense why it's bloated to a 20MB size.

It's frustrating. At the moment, i've disabled sync and it's been locked to 4.25MB.

Thing is, google sync/fb sync is not helping do much in terms of new contacts.

But where did the additional 16MB come from?

FB pics can't be that big right?

It's annoying because that's 16MB of space that could be used for other things.

i mean 16MB is really A LOT OF APPS. Or one big-sized fruit ninja or angry birds.

So I am not sure where else to post this but here's what happend. I was using a power control widget from the market to adjust the screen brightness and usually I keep it at the lowest setting when im home so I picked the lowest 1 and hit apply but now my screens blacked out. I have no clue what to do, I searched the forum but any ideas? I know I can go to a recovery of mine but I want to try something else without having to do that.
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
yeah happened to several people, there are at least three threads. if you've got usb debugging checked you can try to screen cast your phone via adb, google for a program. You can also try brightness commands in adb, its in the threads somewhere if you search
[Fascinate General] Throttle64:
I did have usb debugging checked. I tried to do the screen cast which is pretty cool btw, but the links to download 1 of the files are down so no luck with that. I cant find any threads on using adb commands for brightness though. Can anyone quickly point me in the right direction? Thanks for the reply
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814441&highlight=black+screen

Maybe you can just rm the power control .apk in adb? I dunno...
[Fascinate General] Throttle64:
i figured it out... i noticed that if I had an incoming call the screen would show up for half a sec. but wouldnt be responsive so I kept calling myself and it eventually worked. Weird.. but thanks
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
That's what I did too when it happened to me but its hardly a solution so I didn't suggest it :) eventually it turned on just long enough for me to open the market and uninstall

Hi

I need help regarding in call recording both ways i bin using Touch HD with vito software to record conversation which helped me a lot in remembering directions andso on..:) but they don't have software for android so i like to know does DHD have a hardware capability to record calls and if can which is the best software because i install call recorder by killer mobile which is useless to record both sides conversation even one side.

any one suggest good software.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] arekmx:
Found no working app so far. All known apps record through microphone which is equal to not working.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] iknorr:
About 12 months ago i was looking for the same app for my Hero. There was one available but it required root. The phone was new so i didnt want to root and start messing with stuff like that ( mainly cos i was new to android)

I never tested the app, cant even remember the name- it could just be a red herring.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] adeel2cool:
It's amazing to know there is no app for Android to record in call recording.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] jivemaster:
Most, if not all htc phones are incapable of recording calls, as the hardware does not allow for it. It's highly likely the HD follows this trend and is incapable of recording a call.

The only workaround would be to run a recording app, and then enabling the speaker phone feature of the phone to record the conversation.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Burning_aces:
Ive found apps that record, but only through the mic and speaker, so incoming voice is quiet and far off, but outgoing(you) is quite good, better than nothing I guess.

Called TotalRecall I think, I uninstalled it though :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikiball:
Hi All.

I've got a problem on my International version of Galaxy S.

Sometimes when I restarted my phone, the 3G connection seems won't connect.

I tried to open Maps, market, browser, or any apps that use internet connection. But the 3G seems won't be able to be triggered to turn ON.

Funny thing is, that when I can find a wifi connection and connect to that wifi network, and disconnect the wifi afterward, then the 3G starts to be connected.

It seems that 3G can only be triggered by disconnection of a wifi network.

Can any one help me with this.

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geryatrix:
Can you please clarify why 3G is disconnected in the first place? On my phone I never turn off 3G or WIFI but just let the phone switch on whichever it wants, this method has never given me any problems.

I didn't, I just restarted the phone, and 3G never start as I mentioned before.

No response with the following key combination:

In the rom manager, some of the themes under JT's section have piqued my interest. Should I flash JT's Clean Rom and then one of the themes over that or should I just flash the new theme in replacement of what I have now?

Using Superdark atm.
[Fascinate General] chrisexv6:
Ive changed themes just by downloading the corresponding zip files (from this site) to my sdcard then booting into CWM recovery and installing from the zip file.

I havent tried using the GUI to pull down a theme, but I imagine it wouldnt be any different.

You might be better off pulling the zips from here though, because sometimes the themes in the gui arent the latest and greatest, and flashing a theme from a zip file is relatively painless and safe (but do make a backup just in case!)

Hopefully at&t will actually give us an HSUPA radio. *wishful thinking*

I'm enjoying coming from Sprint... my Evo in my bedroom... 600kbps download at the most, usually more like 400 or 500... and upload was like 190...

I average 2-4Mbps with my at&t download and 1.2-1.7 up using the JPM radio... HUGE difference...

Not that it matters since it won't tether for whatever reason.

[Captivate General] Enhanced:
Hmm how does this work? Rogers said that 2.2 will be released in 1st half of 2011. Isn't it Rogers that has the final say on when 2.2 will be pushed onto devices? I assume Rogers controls the updates which they receive from Samsung and tests/modifies it to conform with their devices. Unless there's a way to by-pass rogers entirely and grab it from Samsung? Kies?

On the flip side, Telus has said that their Fascinate will get 2.2 in the winter, but now Samsung Canada says 2011.

Who is to believe? I'm not expecting 2.2 for a while for my Captivate so I didn't get excited for it or anything. But if it's really coming in mid-December (apart from Samsung's expected delays), then that's awesome.
[Captivate General] gabby131:
This awesome. Mark Nguyen of rogers redbaord says that captivate will have 2.2 in early 2011. Maybe what he meant was on the fascinate.

Uh oh....is there an Ota update? I dont see an option like the att for ota updates or im just blind
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
Rogers customer here. If you saw the clusterfuck that was the Captivate launch, you'd know better than expect the upgrade before January. 2012, that is.
[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:
Lately, it seems like there has been an influx of Android goodies from China. Some of this stuff is pretty amazing, like the MIUI ROM. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered the "MIUI" -aka Charming, aka Miren- Browser and was stoked to get that thing in a translated form. It is speedy and has a pretty cool interface. You can find a number of posts on XDA (here, here, and here among them).

Everyone I have talked to who has used the Miren browser has been jazzed about how much better it is than the traditional options (stock, Dolphin, Fennec/FF, Opera, SkyFire, Xscope, etc.) and I too have been impressed.

Yesterday, I discovered yet another browser, this one also from China and I have to say, so far it has blown me away! I have been preaching on the Miren browser for a week, but This new UC browser is simply the best mobile browser I have used. I have only had it for about twelve hours, so I don't know what the full capabilities are or if there are any major bugs, but so far, I am incredibly impressed.

It can be a little tricky to locate and I am hesitant to post the apk here as it appears to work with hundreds of handsets in different formats. i will post the link where I found it and you can do your own research on which version to grab. This is the English language site (on a side note, these guys are PROS! Just check out the flawless translations in the various languages and you can see that they take immense pride in their product and work. You'd be hard pressed to find other Android devs who have the time or skill to provide such clean sites in multiple languages. Provides me as an end user with a lot of confidence in the final product.)

UC Browser

Pretty amazing specs includes all the typical options, some less prevelant ones and a few atypical inclusions such as built in File Manager, Night Mode lighting and super fast URL autocomplete. The only shortcoming so far is I can't find anyway to get pinch to zoom on this thing, but I am submitting a query to the devs on that.

Edit: Thanks to jpyounis1 for figuring out the pinch-to-zoom settings!

To enable pinch to zoom change user agent to "web ua" then browse mode to "zoom mode" and ur done. Now you have full pages with intelligent fit.

Edit2: Unfortunately, so far as I can tell, no flash support in 7.2. :( For now I will have to stick with Miren and Skyfire as my main browsers and keep UC as an alternate until 7.4 is available in English.

And it's pretty too...

[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:
I was pretty psyched by the prospect of this browser, but if they don't have the ability to integrate pinch-to-zoom it might be a bust. That would be a shame because in all other respects this browser is superior to most others.

I guess I will wait and see what response i get from the devs.
[Android Apps and Games] jpyounis1:
Yea I really like this browser. Looks great and its ui is superior. I think its better than miren browser and is my new default. I think between this and firefox take the cake.

[Android Apps and Games] Just_s:

[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:

[Android Apps and Games] mizch:

Does it mean that traffic goes through third party servers?

[Android Apps and Games] mizch:
Opera is located in Norway. It has a privacy policy matching european standards. Still I wouldn't feel completely comfortable to have all my browser traffic redirected through them, but that's a matter of personal taste as long as current standards are met.
