Well whatever but as you and I know the majority of users will still not search so in theory it is good but in reality we know what happens. I had my doubts when the WM thread in chefs central started but I can tell you it made a positive impact and works very well, and to have all the solved questions and links to the solved thread in the first post for easy reference helps everyone. Sometimes even the search fails us. It is just a friendly suggestion take it for what it's worth.
[myTouch 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well if someone makes a FAQ thread and makes it look nice, and promises to update it often. I promise to sticky it :)
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
I think the two sections are pointless and should be merged as one or too many things are being moved to Q&A, i dont remember every single question being moved into Q&A on the vibrant forum
[myTouch 4G General] Whosdaman:
o they do.... go look ;), and not everything is being moved from general sections. only cut and dry q&a threads. and im more efficient then most moderators as well ;) jk'ing
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] geraerb:
Does anyone else have the problem that the Skyfire browser is no longer working in 2.1 ?

When I startup the app, it only shows a black screen and nothing else.

The back and menu button still work, so the app is not stuck, I think...

Uninstall and reinstall did not do anything.

Any sollutions ? (other then reflash ;-) )
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fightingroost12:
thats odd it works fine for me i have a brazilian generic 2.1 x10a
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] TheMathMan:
Fine here. Tried cleaning the cache?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] geraerb:
Yes,

I tried to clear the cache, but there is nothing in it.

Since I flashed my device it has not worked.

I am on the global ROM, but I cannot imagine that this could be a reason.

Do you all have the latest version or what version numbers are you on ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gammexane:
It is working for me brazilian generic too...

But I can find the license key in the market, it says "app doesn't exist". :(
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pippozio:
For me it's working fine. I had problems just when I uninstalled the stock browser: in that case skyfire wouldn't start, I had to install back the sony browser and now they are both working.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] geraerb:
That might be the problem then, because I uninstalled the stock browser too. :D

EDIT:

I installed the SE browser again and everything is OK now.

It seems that the Skyfire uses the original browser. Good to know. ;-)

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ads7112:
I had the same problem

Apparently skyfire is hardcoded with the SE browser ... if you cancel this Skyfire will not work ....
[Droid Pro General] dbsoundz:
Hello,

does someone know if Motorola got a Sync Software like HTC Snyc to synchronize Contacts, Calendar and so on with Outlook?

This is the Phone type I am waiting for :) but it must be possible to sync with Outlook!
[Droid Pro General] kjjb0204:
Are you on exchange?
[Droid Pro General] dbsoundz:
Hello,

no. I saw that this Android Version is able to connect to an Exchange Server... but I have an own Mail Server not running on Exchange :(
[Droid Pro General] AverageCanadian:
What I do.

Export my outlook contacts to .csv and import into Google account(I don't update my outlook contacts that much)

For the calendar I use google outlook sync. If you google sync outlook calendar with google you'll see the app.
[Droid Pro General] dbsoundz:
I aim to achieve that I do not have to use google for synchronization :) I rather search for a desktop<->phone sync. I found this: http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html - it's expensive but that's what I am searching for... would be great if Motorola ships such software with the phone as HTC does...
[Droid Pro General] Mar00k:
Look for DejaOffice in market. It has PC-side companionlink, with it you can sync.

Not really awesome applications, but it works. Can't confirm for droid pro, but on most other Android devices it works. Try and write here how is it.
[Droid Pro General] vincentlocke:
Omg i found a free app that does this!!!!

So, like you I searched the universe for a way to sync my Outlook contacts. I'm too cheap / poor to pay $20 for software though that does this.

I found and awesome piece of software called MyPhoneExplorer, which is the equivalent of Blackberry Desktop Manager for your Android phone!!!!!!

Desktop client here: Filehttp://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php

Then you need the Android client which is available on the market.

WARNING:

Not the most user friendly, or best documented / supported (support is only in German I think, but the app is available in English) requires some work to get working, but once it is working it is pretty freaking sweet!

Syncs to Gmail / Thunderbird / Outlook / Exchange / the MyPhoneExplorer built in PIM

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED TO GET THIS WORKING:

(1) You need the desktop client + android client (see above)

(2) You must go get and install the ADB USB Drivers for your device (for plugged in syncing): for Motorola droid I couldn't get it working using the Android SDK drivers, these are the ones I found:

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=bda09ec8009a0210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD

Get the Motorola Phone USB Drivers

(3)

SUPER IMPORTANT

: Make sure Outlook is CLOSED before you try and do this step or all sorts of crazy happens!!!!!

To sync to Outlook you must start the MyPhoneExplorer application and go to File -> Settings -> Sync -> And click Advanced next to Contacts to choose Outlook (Make sure Outlook is closed before doing this)

====

Once it's set up, all you need to do whenever you want to sync is start the app on your phone, and start the app on your computer, and click Sync.

YAY FOR OUTLOOK CONTACTS!!!!
[Droid Pro General] dbsoundz:
Hello,

first thanks for all answers... I tried MyPhoneExplorer and it's great. Calendar and Contacts can be easily transferred to the phone. I only use sync from PC to phone because I'm afraid of loosing or destroying my Outlook Data with tools as this one... But that's what I was searching for, quick transfer of outlook contacts to my phone...

THANKS!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 800jimbo:
At work we have a Vodafone SureSignal as the normal mobile reception is rubbish. SureSignal has been working fine for some months with all phones including my HD2, but the box packed up last week. We have been sent a new box which was not picking up my handset. I phoned Vodafone and was advised to change the band selection from 'Auto' to 'UMTS(2100+900)'. Sure enough my phone connected to the device.

However, I understood that that would mean it would only connect where there is a 3G signal, so I tried selecting GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900) and that worked. But now that doesn't work and I can only connect to the SureSignal by selecting UMTS band only.

Does this mean anything to anyone, and can anyone advise whether there is anything I can do that means I don't have to keep changing the band selection on my phone manually every time I enter / leave the office? Is the box not doing something which is why my phone isn't picking up the 3G signal (I have no problem with 3G elsewhere)?

Thanks.

Im sorry if this was asked but i'm on CSD internet connection.

so: can i run android (froyo preferably) on my touch pro without bugs? or what are the things that do not work on it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Without bugs? No software is without bugs. With that said, there are many 'non-working' things. Read the main thread, it's got all these words that will answer this question. First 4 posts are great, after that the search feature works wonders.

Also, what happened to trying it out? This is for fun/testing, it's not meant to replace WinMo. So if that's what you're looking for (WinMo replacement) I'd look elsewhere. Like a new phone :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
"Bugless" is preference, IMO. Sure it runs on my Fuze as long as I stay within the guideliness from the link mentioned in the previous post. If you are looking for benchmarks, you might be better off with a device that actually comes with Android (also IMHO).

By the way what are you attempting to do with this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] broucker:
Use it as my primary OS. i'm willing to sacrifice the camera for it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
There's a lot of other little quirks, I wouldn't use it as your primary OS - unless your phone isn't used as a phone of course :p

Most of the problems people truly have usually are related to the phone sleeping and missing calls, or rebooting in a call etc. Stuff that's mission-critical so-to-speak - I know some that use the phone completely unactivated and love Android full time. There's also some I know that have the phone activated and just don't care and use it all the time.

I'd say for most 'normal' people, it's not ready to use full time as your primary OS. But as with anything tech-related - try it for yourself! Don't let my opinion make your decision, only you will be able to tell. That's the greatest thing about this whole project, doesn't damage the phone, no need to flash anything... Try before you buy, except it's free anyways ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] broucker:
welll I had it!

When i bought the phone (secound hand or third :) ) it had it installed already. It was froyo. I playd with it until it crashed! I had several runs until someday when i noticed that sounds ain't working no more. why? don't know.

nevermind...

I have another problem @ wich i don't find help.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
Hmmm... Have you tried THIS yet?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] broucker:
no!

but what is it?!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] R^7Z:
It's a lite WinMo ROM that auto loads Haret from SD card the author is MichyPrima

As mentioned in THIS post. In my opinion, the closest that RAPH has been reported to run from nand. Keeping in mind this doesn't actually run from nand.

Just wondering if you tried it or not...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manudas:
Hi everybody in this forum.

My problem is that I cannot flash the new original froyo rom for my legend because I have bad blocks on the boot partition, so I get insufficient space error

(flashing manually with flash_image boot boot.img from adb shell).

Somebody in the legend forum commented that getting S-off sould be the solution because I could resize the boot partition. I know we will have it soon for the legend, but I know somebody, that I dont know who, has s-off.

Mi question is:

- how can somebody with s-off backup his hboot for transfering to other phones ??

I think that if you have s-on, you cant backup the hboot, but s-off users can do it.

- if i´m lucky and I get the file of this backup, what can I do to restore in my phone?

Thank you devs!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedipottsy:
not entirely sure what your expecting, you'd need to find a Legend S-OFF legend hboot. A desire S-OFF wont dont anything for u, itd be like putting diesel in a petrol car.

You can wait for alpharev, it *should* be introducing an s-off hboot for legend soon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manudas:
As I said, I know somebody who has s-off in his legend. I want to know how to extract his hboot and how to flash it into my phone. I ask this here because Legend users cant answer. This is because that blocked hboot prevents making this backup, and nobody knows how to do it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You cant backup or flash the bootloader without s-off!! Why not ask a legend dev to reduce the size of the boot image, and flash rom from recovery with reduced boot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manudas:
Then, if I get the image of the bootloader s-off from my friend, I still cant flash it or doing any special work for getting the s-off. Am I right??

The problem is that htc still has not released the source.

Thanks anyway

Anyone read this GREAT news??

http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2010/11/17/work-ongoing-on-pinch-zoom-for-xperia-x10/

Apparently the hardware did support for more than one touch..

I just want to expose this great news more. For I believe not everyone follow every thread in this forum.

You're freely comment to this thread or follow the MT thread from now. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] BurNThaM:
read it a couple of minutes ago, Great news!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
We are already discussing this in the MT thread and the custom rom thread.

:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] joefloater:

[XPERIA X10 General] reptile64:

[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Did you watch the video? He never stated it was a software problem, it's a hardware problem. The behavior of the multitouch chip seems to work awfully if you cross axises.
[XPERIA X10 General] epinion:
Hardware problem or not it's still there. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] freeoscar84@hotmail.com:
Awesome!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
They said the hardware is not capable and then they also said they screen is not capable.. and now they say it is possible..

Lies.. covered by lies mixed with lies that are full of lies.

Will i ever buy any SE product again? no..

I used to love Sony's work.. but the X10 has pissed me off till death.

Mainly my service provider also lied to me when i bought the phone.

When i went back to return it, i asked.. "why did you say the phone has multi touch?" where by she replied "whats multi touch?"

They would not let me return it!!

So let this be a lesson to all.

If a new phone arrives on the market..

1.wait 1 month.

2.see what ppl have to say about it first.

3.make sure what was said is true.

4.buy handset.

Now oddly just a few seconds ago.. after hearing mt will be enabled for the x10...

I heard a loud crash and found the my table fell over and the phone is now destroyed as it will not boot... life is so ironic. :(

The answer is simple and even comes from a movie... don't cross the streams.. lol

[Nexus One General] OzCDN:
With Gingerbread and Honeycomb being talked about ... I was curious if anyone knows if there are any solutions to two issues that I personally think should be solved.

Web proxy - I use wifi at work but I need to use a proxy to get to the web. I am aware of some techniques to get the proxy working but haven't seen a good, simple way of turning a proxy on and off. The best would be to have the proxy settings associated to the wifi profile.

Incoming Voice Recording - Last time I looked into this there still was no way to directly access the incoming voice ... most programs suggest using speakerphone and it picks up the incoming voice through the mic. This is not a good solution.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
For the proxy, you could use an application like Tasker (or Locale) to create a widget to run necessary shell commands to change the network properties. I think. I'd have to play with it a bit to get it to work, I imagine.

For the voice recording, my understanding is that it is a hardware limitation based on where (and at what level) the voice call is processed.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
No and no.

Voice is Android system intended limitation, AFAIK.

Proxy switch isn't there yet, and no app has been written for it. Generally, WiFi management isn't quite there yet.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
I've seen the proxy configuration screen on cyanogens ROM, have not tried it.
[Nexus One General] ardatdat:
+1

Very surprising & disappointing that there is no wifi proxy... It is a very basic requirements that should not be missed out.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Cyanogen has it. Flash and enjoy.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
There is WiFi proxy in custom ROMs, but the problem is that it's global and it can't be turned on-off easily, only through settings.
[Nexus One General] ardatdat:
Come on, it is so basic and should be built-into the stock rom. I am not expecting any mods to do this basic trick. This is the most disappointing thing.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
There are lots of basic things that should be in the stock rom but aren't.

That's what custom ROMs are made for.

If you own a Nexus One and are not even willing to use (or even try) a custom ROM, then you will never fully enjoy the device. Google is RELYING on the openness of Android for people to enjoy their devices...
[Nexus One General] ardatdat:
1st, I am a rom and kernel developer

2nd, This proxy thing is so basic that it has been already implemented in ipod touch N years ago.

3rd, while I can (I have) applied the wifi proxy things into MY CUSTOM ROM, I still think that this is a basic thing that should not waste my time to do such a customization

4th, I am sure you are not using wifi proxy and do not realize how important it is

5th, NEXUS one is a great phone. When you first boot it, it asks you for your google account (great!), however, sorry, because you are using wifi proxy, you cannot connect to the internet. So, if you cannot connect to the internet, there is no point for using a "GOOGLE" phone. That is why I say it is a basic thing.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
No, I do not use a Wifi proxy but I know what it is and I am very aware of how important it is, which is why developers have added it in custom ROMs (like you did).

I am not trying to excuse Google for what they did, I am just saying there are alternatives and solutions to this problem so there is no point in complaining. Google will not be reading this, whining will not make them change their mind.

To add, Google couldn't even get Wifi sleep policy to actually work...ANY device can do that, but not our N1s...That's even more basic. I'm not whining on the forum for that since CM and others have worked-around this issue.

You (or anyone) cannot control Google, live with it.

I was getting around 1000-1100 on Steve's 1.3... I just installed his 1.4.5 and overclocked as high as it would go. I didn't close any programs, had wi-fi on, just as I'd normally be using my phone. It ran a 1639. Not bad!

I noticed the animations ran a lot faster. Heck, that score is tripled what I was running on 2.1. :)
[Streak 5 General] nathsgames:
How do you do this?

I have stock 2.2, and Root and SetCPU but max freq I can set is 998 Mhz?
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
I think that's cos you're on a stock ROM. They don't support overclocking so you'll not be able to set more than the "native" max frequency......
[Streak 5 General] p_razzi:
Right. I'm on DJ Steve's build 1.4.5 - the over clock has been reduced slightly but will still be much faster than a stock rom. No stability issues for me and core temps are manageable.

Thanks I think I need to look at this DJ Steve thing, I won't ask too many questions about it in here though as don't want to derail the thread :-) Cheers
[Streak 5 General] fards:
Smokus latest performance fix (which is based on Steves latest kernel and some of my tweaks) will give you OC and a serious speed boost to the stock Froyo release.

StephenD has found a way of increasing the quadrant scores to 2500! (lots of overclock, and change the LCD density to 200, with a class 10 internal SDcard) ..

most of that is too much for most people.

I've been playing and can get this on stock 998Mhz speed (on steves 145 rom with a lot more of my tweaks)
