Got a new Sandisk 16GB class 4 last night, wiped the device and installed it--not only is it back up to its original speed, not only are there no waits for icons to refresh on the start page, but get this: I got an extra 2GB out of it. With the Microcenter card the system reported 20GB available fresh--with the Sandisk, it reports 22GB.

All in all, I'm going to agree with avoiding one of two things: either class 2 cards (which makes sense, even if the difference is really small), or Microcenter cards. I'm not clear which, butat least I can say conclusively that the sandisk card works well :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Thats not why it has to be reset. Search works :)

Its cause of the way WP7 secures the card.

Hi!!!

Was looking for a scale for android for my desire.. And google abit and i find a scale program that seemes working for iphone,

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnaPVEcVzLg"

Any1 know if it exist for android?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Adomatic:
I've tried several builds and am quite happy with each (getting better and better as I learn more and more). I've gotten newer and newer kernels and builds and am currently using Thoughlesskyle's not so super froyo and am really liking it.

The one deal-breaker issue that's keeping me from using this phone full time is something I'm calling a phone coma. The phone periodically refuses to wake up from sleep. I may have a flashing notification light that makes it look like the phone is sleeping but I am not receiving emails or phone calls when it's in this state. To wake it up, I have to press the reset button.

I think this may be related to battery (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9360324&postcount=7) and I'm going to try to debug this a bit but I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I don't think it's specifically related to any one build as I've seen this with DZO and Thoughlesskyle.

Just for completeness, I'm running a Kaiser with a 1 year old 1600mAh battery, a 2.6.25 kernel and, currently, both Sys and Data are on NAND.

Anyone experiencing anything like this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mychiu:
Sorry, read too quickly your post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
usually is a radio problem that hang the kernel. try with different radio firmware.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mmec2:
I seem to get one of those about 1 or 2 hours after every kernel flash (that may just be a cooincidence though), and maybe once or twice a week as well.

I haven't been able to identify any app or other thing that might have caused it, as they usually happen when I haven't been using the phone for a while.

Info:

Kaiser 130, 23-11-10 l1q1d kernel, Fat Free Froyo RLS5

I thought it might be something to do with the screen turning on (ie wrong panel type), as when it "freezes", the keyboard lights still go on and off when you open the keyboard. I've never been sure if my Kaiser is panel 2 or 3, but it's happened to me on both panel 2 and panel 3 nbhs, so maybe it's unrelated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
That is a known issue with the .25 kernel did it give you backwards text too? What's weird is its only froyo that has that issue these freezes are also why dzo started porting the new one
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Adomatic:
I've never seen the backward text. I'll look at rebuilding with the .32 kernel. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to happen when plugged in (so far). It's only happened once today so I may let it roll for a few days and see what it's like.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] doghead:
I observed it too

I have an almost identical setup: a HTC Kaiser with kernel 2.6.25 & thoughtlesskyle's fat free build RLS5, and I observed similar random freezes and reboots. Last night the phone was in standby mode before I went to bed, and in the morning I saw the boot splash screen. It missed the wake-up alarm! The battery was at about 50% level and the phone was not being charged overnight, if it matters. But I did experience random lock-up in the midst of dialing or playing a game when the battery was well-charged.

As much as I like the responsiveness of Android and rich apps, if the device/software is not stable, I may have no choice but go back to WM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] albertorodast2007:
have some patience guys, kernel .25 has this issues, and devs are working hard on kernel .32 to solve this problems, this is a linux kernel and has to mount the file system to read it and then unmount it on shutdown, but recently there have been some issues with the unmounting part on the shutdown (like when u just unplug the power cord on a PC and windows restart with the "blue screen") until devs find a solution, its wise to always keep on hand a recent /data backup. Another word of advice: read! i dont want to sound rude, but all this is commented extensively over the forum.... like l1qu1d would wisely suggest: use the search tool!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
the old kernel only does this with froyo if you still want to use android use n eclair build or donut its not the latest and greatest but they are very stable though
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Adomatic:
Thanks, I may give it a shot (or I may just buy a samsung captivate :cool:). Your build is very good. Doesn't seem to be as quick as some of the others I've tried but yours has been really stable. I've been running it for about a week. The others

This problem doesn't seem to happen when plugged in - it's only when on battery. I've had some app freeze-ups but, in general, the phone has been really nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yea not so super is a little bloated if you dont mind a little work fat free is very snappy i just has a blue theme
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Hi guys,what's up?

Since seeing what an amazing phone the DHD is and how powerful,I thought that maybe there would be a way of porting one of my all-time favorite games,NFS Most Wanted.The idea came to me after seeing a Quake port running on Desire and Galaxy S and thought,what the hell?Can something like this happen with Most Wanted?

First off,is it possible to do that?If yes,how?

Secondly,are there people who are interested and would like to participate?

Thanks! :)
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
entirely not possible, only reason you see quake doom ect.. is because alot of them go open source so we have access to the engine files to actually modify and port.

also quake doom ect dont rely on a DX only renderer which is all the nfs black box engine supports android requires openGL, personally id like to see the original halflife ported before anything like NFS :P
[Desire HD General] vansmuk:
Tell me about it;)cold beer - €5. junkfood - €10. a good old Crossfire duel on the DHD - priceless
[Desire HD General] tolis626:

[G2 and Desire Z General] tijuanacartel:
Has anyone figured out how to get an alternate layout onto the hardware keyboard for the Z? The default keyboard makes some really stupid decisions - we dont need to have a euro, pound and dollar key! I know the guys over in the G2 forum came up with an alt layout file. I tried it on the Z and despite the source files having exactly the same md5 as the ones on the G2, the new files didnt work. I suspect Sense might be overriding those layouts, but I dont know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] El_Nino9:
erm they are for AOSP roms i believe and sense ui uses a different one i believe.

funny enough i want to keep my G2 layout and make that work with sense ui
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
there are several threads about this, including one started by me -- search and ye shall find
[G2 and Desire Z General] sluden:
Hi.

Just a thought here.

What if you would put magnetic tape on the areas on the picture.

That would take away the loose hinge problem, aint im right.

Then a thought about the magnetic, how will that screw up the gps, compass, the lcd screen or something else.

Anyone have any thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
It would take away the problem. And an accurate compass.

And perhaps the screen.

The only other thing would be velcro. And screw that! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] sluden:
Any other ideas, the compass i can live without...

The screen is just a little harder to live without.
[G2 and Desire Z General] huppelkutje:
As DanWilson says, maybe very weak velcro will do the trick.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sluden:
Dont think velcro is a good choice...

very very weak, maybe
[G2 and Desire Z General] D3LTA9:
I realise that different handsets suffer more or less from the hinge 'problem', mine seems to be fairly average and does open half way if you pick it not touching the bottom half. But for me I have to hold it in such an awkward way that I usually drop it before or when the hinge flops open.

I find that if I hold the phone in a normal grip with thumb on left side and fingers on the right theres no way it can come open no matter what angle you hold it at?
[G2 and Desire Z General] muminisko:
Is the hinge open itself? U cannot write sms/email in bed or it's just a little loose. I do not see how hinge can prevent normal usage of phone.

BTW. It's not a issue it's by design!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
I have been saying magnetic tape is the solution for weeks now!

My Z's hinge is fine at the moment so I am not best to try it out but if anyone does please report back, although I cannot see how it won't work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Exanimus:
agree totally with u :)

Well written!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mymanchris:
This has to be the biggest non-issue I've ever seen when it comes to cell phone design. I have seen the videos online and I have reproduced the "issue" on my DZ, but as D3LTA9 said earlier, I have to hold it so awkwardly and gingerly that I end up dropping it before the hinge opens.

If your fingers are more than 1/8" wide, you will not hold your phone like this in any real-life, practical operation of the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Roachie:
Was just about the wrte the same.. i have a loose "hinge" but no problem..

so i ask "What Hinge Issue ???"
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
This was born out of people expecting something from the phone that it was not designed to do, with the way the hinge is designed it is always going to fall back on itself in certain situations, it doesn't lock into place and is not meant to.

Sure some are looser than others but its still not an issue, if you don't like it don't moan and try a replacement you need a different phone, get a milestone 2 or something.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Niiceg:
Well, got my Z. Yes, it's loose, but I don't care, because opening and closing is very good and I don't use my phone like that, that keyboard would drop...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
I'm sure mine is faulty, it just doesn't stay open when I'm trying to txt whilst doing a headstand!!

No,... seriously, mine is loose, doesn't take much effort to open or close, and it does shut itself if I open it and try to hold it face down horizontal... but I never need to use it in that position. Even in bed, if I'm lying on my back, there is always at least a 90 degree angle, maybe upto 140 degrees as the viewing angles are so nice.

My personal preference,... I would like it slight little bit tighter,... but saying that, then I wouldn't be able to open it with one finger???.... so actually,.... as it is is fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
Has anyone here done the "magnetic tape" trick to fix their loose hinge? Mine is starting to get loose, but I don't think it's much of a problem even though I keep opening/closing it to see how loose it might be. :o
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
This was actually discussed and attempted sometime ago. The guy who did it said it worked great and he didn't have any issues with the compass/GPS. As far as I know, he was the only one who tried though (before the thread got locked due to immature and off-topic posts). Some pics of his mod are on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=802202&page=3

There is a video demonstrating its effectiveness on the page after.

Another solution is actually taking the hinge apart and messing with the spring inside. This has been successful for a lot of people (myself included).

1) The Samsung Galaxy has quite a beautiful sms app, was wondering if its possible to export this from samsung's rom to be installed on a sense rom? Private message me a link to 4shared etc? :)

2) I have a thread on my handcent sms app nearly a thousand messages in strength, I'm now struggling to delete them without crashing (I can't delete 10 without a good two minutes wait or a crash). Any help or tips for deleting? Don't want to system wipe.

3) I've downloading and bought a few paid apps from the net and installed them to my phone later finding they are on the market, but obviously they do not show in the market so I can't update them. Tips?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
1) does the galaxy not use the default android sms app :confused:

2) try deleting data in sms storage (or messeges or whatever its called) in manage applications.

3) if you bought the app legally and not just paid for a membership to a warez site, you can contact the dev for the latest versions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kushion:
1)It does, but its been modified slightly, and black. Very nice looking.

2) Didn't work, done it many times, but thank you. Any other ideas? What about wiping cache etc? I don't mind, as long as I don't loose settings

3) Cool, thank you :)

Edit: Seemed to have sorted number 2, found a great app on the market called SMS Manager, must be knew because never could find it before. So if anyone has the editing sms app on the samsung galaxy, that would be lovely. Then we can close this thread :)

K well i got kindle, nook, and kobo working but when i try to make an account it tells me i have no connection when i do....weird...
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I sideloaded FBReaderJ which works fine, and yes I missed an ebook reader as well even after the update and even though the box mentions ebook reader.

OTOH I found the 10" form factor to be LOUSY for reading primarily fiction books, while 7" was a perfect form factor for me. 10" is just too large and unwieldly, great for web and maybe other applications, but if I end up keeping mine I know that I'm going to want a complementary 7" device... just wish that there was a Tegra based 7" tablet then I'd be a happy camper.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
You make a fair point, re: form factor for reading fiction, however, for reading papers, articles, textbooks and other page-sized formatted text, a 10" screen is far superior to a 7" screen, which is just too small.

Koush, I have a question. Does your app support push notifications via WiFi only? For instance, I live in an area with no cell reception, and I'm forced to use wifi only. Will this app give me push notifications with just wifi on?

I'm using GoVoice and have been quite happy with it. Updates with feature improvements seem to be coming through on a regular basis. I just setup background notifications to the live tile and I am testing it out.

[Windows Phone 7 General] MO3iusONE:
Well, Android phones by far have the best google voice app (obviously) I been using GoVoice and it seems to be working ok. Its a pain in the ass though, the fact that WIndows 7 cant multitask means that you have to start up GoVoice every single time it for me it just takes too long. The notifications are nice though, when you get a text message you'll see the notification at the top like you normally would with a regular text message.

how is it working out?

Did u have to set it up to recieve an email and/or sms for the live tile to update? My live tile for govoice wont update unless i open the program first

sucks that it doesnt make the directions too clear on the app and elsewhere...

[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
are you referring to the number that appears next to the icon (to indicate number of updates)? if so, have you tried just restarting the phone. i think it's all related to the known bug with the market place at present which causes the market place to crash every now and then.
