The Windows Mobile built in alarm is unreliable, if you set appointments and alarms, alot of the time just the appointment will go off,or neither will go off.

I would suggest gAlarm, it's the best I have found.

Really though, if you need your phone's alarm as anything more than a novelty, a 3rd party app is the way to go.

I once remember seeing a settings option for syncing only wifi (not on 3G) in CM6. Now I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where this setting is?

thanks,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamHart612:
Hey all. Running CM6.1 172 nightly. Launch day evo rooted with toasts 2 part.

Flashed zendroid last night. Booted and ran great, good scores on quadrant etc. Smooth as butta.

Rebooted to do a backup of the new setup. Boot loop, about 1 seconds on the splash screen each time. Not sure if its of relevance but its the fastest boot loop I've seen (day one g1 owner). Went to recovery to restore, and....boot loop after selecting recovery.

So I figure recovery image went bad somehow. Fastboot flash AmonRa1.8. Attempted to reboot into recovery. Aaaannddd....boot loops.

Does anyone have any ideas on where I should go next? I can get into bootloader. Had to do plenty of "repair" with the G1, but this is the first issue I've ran into with my Evo since launch day.

Cliffs: CM6.1. Flash zendroid. Runs fine. I reboot. Boot loops. Attempt to enter recovery. Boot loops. Fastboot flash recovery. Loop loop loop. No recovery, cant get into the operating system so no ADB.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Just tried flashing PC36IMG.zip from toasts part 2. Still cant get past splash screen. Grrrr. It did however change my splash screen so I would guess it flashed fine. But it still looped after rebooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That sucks. Hopefully someone else will chime in. I've never had anything like that happen, but from reading through xda, I've seen this happen to other people. Now I've never had to do it, so don't know the steps. But I think you can take your sd card out, and mount it in your pc. Load a stock RUU onto your sd card, then put the card back in the phone, and flash it from hboot. Then you'll be totally stock and have to start over, but I think that's what you should search about doing. I wish you luck, and hope someone who knows more than I can help more, or inform you of another way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamHart612:
Hey thanks for lookin man. Yeah my next move is gonna be flashing a stock unrooted img see if I can get into Android. I already tried reflashing toasts 2nd pc36img.zip (launch day evo rooted with toast 2 part). Thanks for your input tho.

[General Questions and Answers] matejdro:
Are there any news for possible Tegra HTC phones or another HW QWERTY HTC phone?

There was no tegra on WM, but i heard that it works with Android, so maybe HTC could put that in?

I like Desire Z, but fact that processor is only 800mhz is ruining it.

[Nexus One General] Branden10:
Please forgive me if im in the wrong category. It said 'general' so I figured.

So today I found out my dad will be switching us from Tmobile to Sprint. I was sad to hear that my Nexus One will no longer be my best friend, instead my dad chose to pick up the Epic 4g. We will be switching this Friday. I was a little upset because of the large rumored release of the Nexus S. And the fact that the Epic, according to the sprint Rep, was on 2.1 :( unlike my current 2.2.1 nexus.he said it will be updated around the holidays. I asked him if the updates will continue without being held back by the carrier, he said yes and that sprint hasn't held anything back yet. I was unsure if this was true or not, my dad gave me hardly anytime to do more research on sprint and their phones so I went off of things I already knew.

The Rep was nice, spoke to him over the phone, while my dad and brother were at the sprint store with him.

I don't think he could comprehend how a 16yo could know so much :) I asked him if we had 4g in south Carolina and he answered no. I asked an estimate of how long it will be until we get 4g he said 6 months. So that's $60 I will be paying for nothing. (Mandatory 10$ for 4g speeds). I also mentioned my custom roms and root, which he knew about but seemed confused when I ventured further into the topic ( I get excited when talking about Technology and tend to go overboard.) Anyways his main sale tactic was:

"you will get unlimited talk, text, web. isn't that cool?"

I'm upset that my phone will be "with Google" instead of "BY GOOGLE"

anyways I just felt like someone should know because I'm honestly sad to leave my nexus. And I treat it like my best friend. Sorry if you wasted time reading this.

If you have any advice about sprint, or the epic 4g. (I will begin looking at the epic forum soon) or anything else you want to add, please do.

I warned my dad if there is a set and confirmed release date for the rumored Nexus S and its on GSM. I will pounce on it like a cat.

Goodbye Nexus One. I had a good time with you. Your 1ghz snap dragon is great, you never lag, but I must move onto a faster hummingbird processor and 4g speeds. I will never sell you. And I will most likely buy a 'pay as you go plan' so I can still update your ROMS, and use you.

Love Branden

(God Im pathetic...)

Again sorry if you wasted time reading this.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
The good news is Samsung will probably follow the same sales approach with the Nexus S (and/or Galaxy S2) as they did for the Galaxy S, as in slang it all over the world on every carrier possible. There may be light at the end of the tunnel.
[Nexus One General] Buck Shot:
ya the word is it may be available for multiple carriers so u may be safe. But you could of gotten the Evo since it is supported by several devs, even Cyanogen
[Nexus One General] SoberGuy:
Haven't seen or heard that at all. The only FCC filing, currently, is for TMO frequencies.
[Nexus One General] NICEGYPT:
i know how u feel about ur nexus cuz i am a same :) and it's bad decision to move from tmo to sprint , sprint toooo expensive, but Google will not be slow, they will make nexus s for sprint, this what i am thinking and hoping to be true
[Nexus One General] Branden10:
I didn't want to move from Atmosphere, my Dads decision, but he doesn't listen. And the evo was my other choice
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
I'm currently on Sprint with a EVO 4G. With CM it comes pretty close to the Nexus One experience wise but sans the trackball and with a more satisfying size IMO.

That said, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a WiMax capable Nexus S on Sprint a month or three after. They already did it with the SGS/Epic 4G so you never know.
[Nexus One General] pinke123:
You should have 30 days to switch to other phones if you don't like the epic, my friend just got an evo and it's sick! If this happened to me,i would go for that instead, htc is way better than samsung with updates and rooting, plus touchwiz is kind of cheesy. Hope this helps, and enjoy any new phone you get.
[Nexus One General] Branden10:
I agree touchwiz is. And the guy seemed quite adament that it will be updated constantly, I know were getting the Epic for 99$ with 2yr contract

Anyone know the price of the Evo? If not I'll check online .
[Nexus One General] prettyboy85712:
Updated constantly....can't help but laugh. :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtxGump:
I had this problem when I used a cheap wall charger. I think it had to do with incorrect voltage or something. When I use the included cable and wall plug, everything works fine. With thaw $2 chargers, the touchscreen wouldn't register or was about 2 inches off or the buttons wouldn't work at all.

Can anyone confirm whether the DHD offers native divx / avi playback it does this require third party software such as rockplayer or mplayer?
[Desire HD General] timstanley1985:
It requires software codecs to play those file types

Sent from my CyanogenMod Desire HD
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
No great sweat. Rock player works well on the Desire so can only assume it will be excellent on the dhd!
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
I dropped few divx on mine without any third party software and it plays it and good too
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Interesting to hear, thanks. I didn't think it supported such formats out of the box.
[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
dont waste your time with rockplayer, it loses sync all the time now and the dev wont trasferre your licence when you change phones.

im currently using vplayer alpha - it free and tbh excellent app. ive not noticed any sync problems since loading it, and it handles 720p with no problems.

give it a try
[Desire HD General] lynxboy:
Just to confirm that DivX/Xvid plays natively, however, I tried a high bit rate video and it lagged beyond belief. I suggest you try Rockplayer or Vplayer, both are very capable.... whatever happened to Core Player for Android!

Regards.
[Desire HD General] LittleMerc:
I agree, just tried the native player and I can feel the lagginess and the framerate is slow... Rockplayer played the same video smoothly...
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
I tried to play a 1,5 GB Xvid with the stock player, which wasn't a big success, then installed the free rockplayer from the market, which worked fine, excellent playback and the screensize makes it very watchable (gotta use earplugs though;))

Playing 720p Flv videos with HTC Desire HD

Hi all! My main use of a smartphone is to play 720p Videos on the go. I've tried all of the last giants (Htc Desire, Sony X10, Hd2 with Android roms...) using native videos player,Rockplayer,Alphaplayer but my 720p flv videos did not play smoothly.Now I have a Samsung Vibrant, so far so good! All of my videos play with no issues.

My question is: does the Desire HD capable of playing 720p videos in flv format smoothkly (Ps:I'd like to buy it for the bigger screen and 8Mpxls:))?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
why dont you just re-encode it to a file format that takes less powered to decode ?
[Desire HD General] edsontzr:
Hi. Because I have more than 500 Go of movies, mangas and many things in 720p flv format so I don't have time to change them when I want to travel.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I might be wrong but I THINK the SGS is king when it comes to movie playback and the formats supported out of the box.

I can't speak for the DHD yet as I don't have one but I'm sure someone will be able to check this out for you.
[Desire HD General] Ethania:
Id also like to know were Core media player for android went.

Wonder if it ever will get released.
[Desire HD General] azreil24:
Is true, the SGS plays everything without problems. It handles full dvd 720p mkv`s like a champ, even with dts sound. I hope DHD can, as in terms of power it could handle them too.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Can anyone confirm if the dhd can handle the same as above?
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
No, it can't. The DHD (as stated in the specifications) does not play mkv files out of the box. It's capable of decoding the video stream (which is h264) but the audio is ac3 which is a no go with the stock player. I tried vplayer but the results are disappointing - it's like a slowmotion video. What you can do is reencode the files copying the video stream and encoding the audio to aac, and saving it in mp4 format. It takes a couple of minutes for half hour movie, so it's no trouble at all. Still you might be careful what bitrates you encode since the DHD has to have some limit on that.
[Desire HD General] edsontzr:
Thanks all for the feed back! Now I think that it's better for me to stay with my Vibrant for watching my HD videos (even if I like the 8Mpxls and dual led flash of the Desire HD). However it's just impossible to have the perfect smartphone isn'it? My dream: I hope some day we will have an Android phone with 12Mpxls 25 mm wide angle, Full HD recording and playback in any formats (specially flv for me), 4,3 inch or bigger screen with 1280X720 resolution and MEGA AMOLED!!!
[Desire HD General] Aamir.Badat:

[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I hear that divx is supported by the dhd out of the box, just wondered if anyone had managed to get divx / avi to play from a pc on the network using the 'connected media' option within videos... is this possible?
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
well im playing 720p video fine on my DHD ~8mbit. however rock player is terrible i assume it doesnt support the new adreno graphics in the DHD which means it falls back on software mode wich is very laggy

the htc video player however is very capable but doesnt support all file types imo if rockplayer hardware accel is updated it would be fine

also connected media is possible just for some reason its only finding 1 of my 5 video drives of my desktop dont know why tho but it plays the files out of the drive it finds tho
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Interesting that you get connected media to work. What kind of files are you playing and at what resolution? Did this work straight out of the box?

I can display the video files in the list but just says unsupported when I try to play them. A codec issue I suspect? Files I am trying to play are divx videos.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
.mp4 with h264 and aac codes. Haven't tried divx/avi files but the problem might be in your DLNA server trying to transcode the files. I had such issue with the commercial server I use, because it detected the DHD as a generic device and tried to transcode the video to a format the server thought was supported (and it obviously wasn't). Anyway, check if the video you are trying to play is supported by copying it to the SD card and if it is, then try it over the DLNA to troubleshoot the server.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Think its just that the phone will not support avi and divx file format which is a its shame and a definite plus for the galaxy s.

Odd thing is that the thumbnails show in the list but the videos still will not play.
[Desire HD General] paulus_01:
Then why was I playing a divx on my DHD the other day? (although I was using rockplayer) ;)

I found the movie playback to be quite ok, especially the screensize is ideal ;)
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
That might just explain it!

My original wish was to stream such formats from a home media server but I don't think this is possible - even with existing 3rd party apps.

Another tick in the Galaxy S column!
[Desire HD General] brewster0101:
I can't stream divx media over from my home network either using the default media finder. MP4's work ok though...

I am surprised that you can't change the default player for when using this function so that divx will play. Seems pointless to have media streaming ability but not the ability to work with probably the most popular video format.

Here you will find a quick and easy way of switching between 2 recoveries, ie PSFMod and AmonRA.

I use PSFMod recovery for my PS3 but would rather use AmonRA recovery for all other recovery purposes. So I made this little script to switch between the 2 easily from my phone, 1 click only.

What the script does...

When you run the script it will check to see which recovery is installed, if the desired recovery is installed it will just reboot into recovery, if it's not installed it will flash the required recovery then reboot into it.

Requirements.

Your need GScript installed and you phone must be capable of running the commands touch, rm, reboot recovery and flash_image recovery *.

Instructions.

Install GScript light or GScript from the market on you android.

Download the .img's of both recoveries you want to use.

Place them on the root directory of your SDcard naming them ".amonra.img" and ".psfmod.img" (dont forget the dot at the begining.)

Copy the scripts, "amonra.sh" and "psfmod" to /sdcard/gscript/

Run Gscript and add both scripts to the list.

You may create a shortcut on your homescreen to each script if you like, I keep them in a folder so they aren't accidentally pressed.

Notes.

I made this for myself, it works on my Desire running CM 6.1, I cant promise anything more than that, it may do absolutely nothing on every other phone and/or rom in the world for all I know.

The script uses a flag stored in the root of the sdcard (".amonra" or ".psfmod") to determine which recovery is installed.

I used "rm flag @@ ..." instead of "if" because I've had trouble with "if" on other roms in the past and this way is pretty foolproof.

If you want to use this on different recoveries, just edit the files and do a search and replace for amonra and/or psfmod.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BoonDoggie:
In have a question about Android and how it handles USB audio. I know that USB has a unified audio layer that is standardized and requires little in order to be seen and operated by the os. Its that reason why most usb audio class devices are simply plug and play, however some devices require add'l drivers for extra fucntions, i.e. dsp functions. What I'm trying to understand is how Android handles usb audio, does it conform to usb audio class stipulations as well, so audio devices are generally plug and play, or is there something extra that would be required?

I'm asking because I hope to get a G-Tablet this Xmas and use it in my car. I could just use the analogue outs but I want something a bit more robust, and was hoping to get an external usb audio device with multiple outputs. Maybe write a driver if needed depending on the complexity, of course. any help would be appreciated.

Take it from an audio nut: The size of the holes is not a significant limiting factor for the volume level of the sound that makes it out (at least not unless you're talking about a surface that really has only a few freakishly microscopic holes to begin with, which the Xperia does not).

You'd be damaging your speaker for no good reason. I wouldn't do it.
