Only way is to download something, I had to download a battery widget, but there may be others what can change the one in the notice bar into a % icon.

In the text area (say when typing a text message) press and hold in the text area and a menu will pop up, just select "Input Method" and then you can change between andoird and swype keyboards (or whatever you might have installed).

Settings -> Applications -> Development -> tick "Stay awake" (Screen will never sleep while charging)

EDIT - Ooops....jumped the guna a bit and didn't see someone had already replied :D

So this weekend, my darling Rachael ended up swimming in the washing machine.

I didn't think she would make it, but after leaving her on the radiator for 24 hours, she seems to have recovered well. Everything seems fine and it looks like she is going to make it :)

After all the bad press SE have had, just thought a good news story would be good to hear :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Cool!.. Run over by a bus, dropped in the toilet, washed (and presumably spun) in a washing machine.. and still going strong.. Rachel is as indestructible as a Toyota Hilux!
[XPERIA X10 General] burnes:
Yes! She loved the spin :)
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Sell it quick, once the motherboard and parts starts to corrode, then the problem will start...
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:
No, immerse it in iso propanol. It will do away with the water and prevent corrosion
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
+1. I would do it too.
[XPERIA X10 General] argnom:
Or dump it in a sealed bowl half full of silica gel or some other dessicant. It should be fine after that.
[XPERIA X10 General] BingoRingo:
Or the old bag of rice trick; although if it's been in the radiator it's probably too late, any eventual damage is on its way. Let's hope it evaporated quickly enough!
[XPERIA X10 General] burnes:
I'm hoping it dried out enough and quick enough :)

I don't have any silica gel or propanol (I don't actually know that that is lol)

Worst case is I need to buy a new phone at some point - I was kinda expecting that on Saturday anyway.

For now, at least, it seems ok.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Just a heads up. Have always been a fan of xScope Browser but gave it up for a while as the new xScope 6 seemed buggy to me.

Not sure what has changed with recent updates, but the latest version is FAST, really really FAST. Also, lots of cool features. Anyway, check it out in the market. The bookmarking feature takes a little getting used to as it uses HTML to represent bookmarks, but I'm sure that is one reason it is so fast - less overhead. When working with bookmarks, the controls for how they appear are on the bottom of the page. You can do icons, lists, etc...

Also, it has tabs and if you press and hold a tab, all kinds of cool options appear.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evohog:
Tried it, slow. Im running calkulins 1.6.1 and its about 4 times faster than xscope. Are you rooted ? It is faster than a stock ego but in my opinion its not even close to rooted.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
Isn't calkulin a rom? xScope is a browser. How can you compare the two?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Crossrocker:
He means that the default browser in caulkins is better then xscope
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aditya104:
I m using Xscope 6.21 and I am unable to view /data/ folder using its folder view. Though I can see all apks in /system/app. Is it supposed to not show data folder?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ldc2335:
I've always been a fan of xscope, it has great media download options and a nice simple ui. Latest update supports themes, so expect for nice themes to be rolling out like the older versions. I think its built based off the stock browser just with some extra features.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aditya104:
does it have option to download youtube videos?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evohog:
Yeah the stock browser in calkulins new rom is faassst, I thought cyanogen and miui were fast but they don't even compare. Im a little off topic so my bad.

Is it possible to change the default google search from international to local(Aus)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
Hey guys,

I am torn between these 2 phones. Which one should I get, HTC Desire Z or Samsung Galaxy S?

In terms of future updates (Gingerbread or Honeycomb if there is), which one is more likely to be updated?

In terms of web browsing, is Galaxy S with stock froyo good enough to be compared to HTC Desire Z?

Need your guys inputs for battery life too.

Thanks and really appreciate any response.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Do you email, text, tweet and IM a lot? Enough to justify a hardware keyboard?

Get the Z.

For web browsing alone, the Galaxy S will probably be better with it's larger and AMOLED screen.

Regarding future updates, I'd go for the Z. At least HTC update their flagship phones (the Z is not, but the Galaxy S has still not been updated).

I don't know anything about the batteries.

Hope I helped you bro.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
Certainly bro, thanks!

The speed of the web browsing as compared to Galaxy S (froyo stock), which one is faster?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Don't know, have neither phone :rolleyes:

Although I think they'd be about the same. And whichever phone has the faster CPU would probably render the pages faster.

Why not visit a phone shop and test both out. Just say to someone (who works there) that you don't know which phone to pick, and would like to test them side by side.

And be sure to ask them to put a SIM in.

"WHY WON'T IT LOAD ANY PAGES!!?!"

:p
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
I see. Thanks for the inputs. Is the multi-touch resolved for the HTC Desire Z?

And also, one thing that is bothering me is the hinge. Is it that bad?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
I think the hinge just depends on the individual phone. Some people get a stiff (and therefore better) hinge than others. Otherwise, if you get a looser hinge, it *should* only affect you if you lie down or use the phone upside down. Or tweet on a rollercoaster. :D

I'm going to try and find a shop with a Z to play with it before it is purchased, so if you want, when I come back I'll tell you about the multitouch. Although it'd be better for me if I could install Multi-Touch Visualiser or something on it..

:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
Yeah sure, let me know if the multi-touch is fixed for this phone.

Seems like the hinge is only happening to certain users.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Remind me, what was the multi touch problem?

Sent from a Pulse. Yes, a Pulse.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lucasleiva:
The z is a better phone by far its built better, its sexier , it can be over clocked to up to 1.9 gigahertz!! And the keyboard feels great and the hinge is pretty stable. And sense is amazing too. the galaxy is an okay phone its got a big screen and its really bright but the amoled makes the colors look off a bit but its still nice but that's not enough to convince me to buy it. Plus htc just makes the best smartphones. Oh and the z has an fm radio
[G2 and Desire Z General] lucasleiva:
And I think it comes with 2.2 wich has flash and that makes for amazing web browsing. I think the samsung has only 2.1 I don't think that has flash. But you could always just get skyfire
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
The multi-touch issue in which it will go off when it cross each other paths.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Ah cool. How could i look for that on a stock z? Browser?

Sent from a Pulse. Yes, a Pulse.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
Yeah, you can try that on a browser or picture.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean, could you explain please ? Then I could tell you what the results is on the DZ. Though as I understand it the DZ has full multi-touch, unlike, say, the Desire.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
Am not aware of any multi touch issues but the z has true multi touch, it can register up to 4 points at any given time meaning it's also great for gaming. It took me a while to finally purchase the z after hearing alot of discontentments about the sheer weight of the phone and the hinge. I thought that nothing could beat the n1 but after only a couple of me time with my new z, I knew that I'd made the right choice, it has alot to offer and now that permanent root has been obtained it's only gonna be a matter of time before more custom roms are available, we already have cyanogen, evil, paul and villainrom on board.

I'd say the z/g2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tbalden:
z and hd has true multitouch.

-- sent from htc z using xda app
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
This is not desire z or galaxy s specific. This was a big problem on the n1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
Cool~~ what's holding me back from buying desire z is the hinge man!

I don't know how bad is the hinge.

Is the processor speed of 800mhz different from the HTC Desire snapdragon of 1ghz?

Because currently I'm using HTC Desire.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
What I've heard about were the potential damage to the hinge and not damaged hinges. The new processor is indeed a 2nd generation snapdragon. I did a comparison against my n1 both running at 1ghz. You'd be pleased to know that the z blew the n1 out of the water on linpack and quadrant tests.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bryant_16:
How's the GPU in HTC Desire Z as compared to Galaxy S?
[myTouch 4G General] sapo916:
I have a 6 FT USB cable that I use to charge my phones and it worked just fine with my Moto Droid. However with the MT4G charge times are significantly slower than with the stock cable. I have done a visual inspection of both cables and the amount of pins and pin layout is identical. The only real difference I have noticed is that the gap inside of the microUSB connector is larger. I don't think this is preventing the pins from making proper contact as it does charge but there is a chance (picture attached).

I'd appreciate any input on why this is happening. I'm also looking to purchase a new extended USB cable as this is just too short for me so if anyone has one that works fine a link would be nice.

Thanks

Here is a crude and not highly scientific comparison of charge times I did to convince myself I wasn't crazy.

time to charge 5%

usb cable aftermarket 6 ft

test #1

35% 3883mV

40% 3897mV 12m28s

test #3

51% 3926mV

56% 3957mV 15m22s 92.66F

usb cable stock 3.5 ft

test #2

42% 4012mV

47% 4035mV 5m25s

test #4

58% 4077mV

63% 4102mV 4m56s 97.7F
[myTouch 4G General] dafish69:
Could be due to the wire quality of the longer cable. The cable is most likely causing some voltage drop, resulting in additional charging time.
[myTouch 4G General] sapo916:
Yes, there is a voltage drop that you can see above when switching the cables. I tried both the cables on my Moto Droid and the charging values are identical with it. Really weird but maybe I'll just try random USB cables until I get one that works.
[myTouch 4G General] Whosdaman:
Definitively the quality of the wire
[myTouch 4G General] sapo916:
That doesn't explain why the cables function identically on my droid. I will be buying a new cable anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sandrinopi:
I just switched for a tiny (3" screen) and slow (Leo ROM with WM 6.5.x) Xperia X1 to a more powerful HD7. Nice OS indeed, but there are lots of things that I really miss:

1 on the old phone I used to flash new ROMs very often. I had some CABs in the SD that could be restored in seconds with a few clicks, so after flash all my apps were ready for use. If I'm not wrong, this is not feasible anymore since CAB installation is not available on WP7 and (correct me if I'm wrong) Zune software is always needed;

2 all audio and video files are immediately avalable to view since the phone stores them in its own way (i.e. cannot save them in a specific folder, and open them in the old File/Open way); what if I have some *strictly personal* audio or video file I want to keep secret ?

3 no GPS navigation software still available (I used iGO8 very very often) an nothing foreseen yet;

4 apps marketplace is ridiculous, but I hope that software houses will start converting theis apps very soon (I really miss SPB Wallet and Opera).

5 SD card...well we all know enough about that

Anyone aware of some kind of improvement for what above ?

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
Came from an iPhone and then Nexus one. What i really really miss is the ability to buy apps from the marketplace since i live in an unsupported place and hence, a non-US credit card. iPhone had support for my country, while market enabler and google checkout solved that for android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
You can always use a UK/US Live account.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slighmd:
yes i have a US live account, but it still will not accept my credit card, a Mastercard. It says that it can't be authorized, and a lot of people also have that problem because their credit cards are non-US. My credit card is still active though, checked and doubled checked. Just used it to purchase a few items from ebay using paypal and also groceries yesterday.
[Desire HD General] poluks:
Hello everyone,

I bought the Desire HD earlier this week but after a brief test, I decided to

return the mobile.

But one thing puzzles me, a pink halo on my photos (see attached photos below). I actually found this oddity on SlashGear's photos review and video :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cuo9v0unGk&feature=player_embedded

I regret having returned the mobile because I really liked his great design

and its ease of use, so I hesitate to take it back.

What do you think ?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] phrono:
Hi people, I hope somebody can help me, i'm desperate...

I was trying to change my Dream's Rom, i have root access and a modified recovery... but I was wrong and instead of changing the recovery completely, just did it partially...

the result, after flashing a new hboot, radio, rom and ezterry's kernel, was my phone has been useless ...

it get freezed at the screen of the operator and the pc does not recognize it at fastboot usb mode... so I cannot flash the .img file from fastboot mode!

My question is: is there a way to flash a recovery from a zip in your own recovery? I tried zipping the file and applying it from recovery, but the phone says:

'E: No signature (1 files)

E: Verification failed'

These are the settings in fastboot mode:

"Dream PVT 32B SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.22.0013d (DREA20000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.27.08"

I know it is difficult, but any idea is welcome...

Sorry about my bad english, and I hope somebody knows what can I do... thanks a lot!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebspawnshop:
I'm pretty sure that if you use Titanium Backup to back up your Swype, it will back up the dictionary and so on, as Titanium backs up the app data along with the app itself.

you might try this website: PDAir [dot] com

though they mostly have hard silicon cases, they are probably not yet available.

Also keep in mind that with a soft silicon case your GPS and other receptions will be weaker (alteast it is with my soft slicon case, which does not come from pdair, so don't know if that would be the same).

note: the car holder and the leather cases are compatible so you can use them without removing the case. which would be the case with most silicon cases (hard or soft)
