Not sure why but redtorrent crashes my android 2.1 phone (Xperia x10) whenever I try to add a torrent.

I don't even know why people would charge for a client, all PC/windows/linux clients are free. I'm using tTorrent lite (free) but it's limitation is 100KBps download speed.

andtorrent is pretty ok
[Android Apps and Games] PokeAsheep:
Having all sorts of issues wth andtor, but am sticking it out snce I already paid for it.

Dtor beta I tested for a bit but I kept getting fc's...and I said f-it.

I contacted the andtor dev and he's got some fixes/new-stuff on the way, so I'd keep an eye out there

Epic is as Epic does

tTorrent is the best one I've used so far.

+1 for tTorrent.

[Android Apps and Games] 12gage:
+1 for ttorrent, unless you don't want to download the whole torrent (it won't let you select individual files) then I use Swarm
[Android Apps and Games] Zb134:
I really like swarm. The only problem I have with Swarm is that I couldn't find an option to stop downloading when I switch from WiFi to 3G network (though thanks to tasker I can automate it). In fact, I find that the program could use a lot more options.
[Android Apps and Games] miguelit0:
the utorrent remote app is best
[Android Apps and Games] cotyar:
The one I am using at the moment is Swarm. Can really recommend it. Fast, stable and easy to handle.

Ya personally I love uTorrent. Great app and great program on a PC/Mac/Linux.
[Android Apps and Games] JDM Civic EG8:
I was wondering the same thing does anyone know the answer?
[G Tablet General] pogul:
I've always used static IP addresses in my home network - primarily because I thought it was the only way to be able to use port forwarding as needed for different devices: xbox live, psn, bit torrent, etc. Plus I thought it just gave an extra - albeit small - layer of protection to the network.

However, last night we picked up a Nook Color for my wife and this thing has NO ability to assign static IP addresses! :mad:

Needless to say, she was a bit irate as I was enjoying the latest TNT Lite update on my gTab (thanks roebeet!) and she couldn't do anything with her shiny new Nook. :p

So the question is - do static IP addresses really buy me anything anymore? Or have routers evolved enough with UPnP to handle port forwarding properly?

Is it possible to have DHCP enabled on my router, but still assign static IP addresses to devices like an XBox?

I'm currently using a D-Link DIR-655N router.

Thanks!

P.S. Roebeet - my wife wants to know if you'll be picking up and tweaking a Nook Color any time soon. :D
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Yes, you can do that. Most routers will allow you to use a specific range of IPs for DHCP so you can allocate a chunk for automatic assignment and use the rest for static.

For example, on my router, I set DHCP to use the 200-250 range in the last octet, and staticly assign desktops and other stationary devices with 0-199. So, my desktop is statically set to 10.11.3.100 so I can VNC from work, but my g-Tablet will get an IP between 10.11.3.200 - 10.11.3.250 when it connects to my home network, depending on what other addresses are already used.

I only use DHCP on mobile devices because it makes hopping between access points easier, so I don't need that many addresses reserved for it.

Hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] pogul:
EXACTLY!! We're getting so many IP devices over here that I'm getting tired of always trying to keep track of static IPs (and assign them).

I went ahead and RTFM :D and turns out it was very simple with this router - just like you said. Thanks!

Do you use any extra protection in addition to WPA - like MAC filtering etc - to keep the neighbors off your network? That was the only other thing I didn't like about DHCP - it just makes it that much easier for someone else to jump on.

Then again, I guess if they go through the trouble of hacking my WPA pw, there's not much else that's going to keep them out, right?
[G Tablet General] copc:
pogul , I have a DIR655. I set all my stuff except laptops up static. You can login to the admin of the router and reserve IP's for certain equip. I do this for all my wired and wireless.

I mainly like to know what is a certain IP so I can easily RDP into said machines.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
When I lived in my last apartment, I used to set up my access point to have WPA. I know WEP can be broken in seconds and MAC addresses are easy to spoof, so I don't bother with them. They do a good job of keeping casual people from getting on your network, but if they are determined, they'll get on somehow.

Now I moved back with my parents in BFE, the nearest neighbor is a mile away, so I leave my access points wide open so my new devices and old devices alike can use them.
[G Tablet General] copc:
I use both WPA and mac filtering. I can see about 20 wireless routers from where I live, so you never know.

Remember google got in trouble for driving through neighborhoods and getting data from open networks a while back.
[Android Software Development] GingerEffect:
Hey, does anyone know how to check to see if the user has a phone call running in the background or if the user is listening to music in the background. I am writing an app for a researcher and want to log some of this behaviour.

It's hard for me to search for this because of the words "Call" "Phone" which are, for obvious reasons, everywhere.

Any advice or suggestions even if you arent sure would help :).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mzaza:
Hello,

I have rooted my HTC Desire using the Unrevoked method and Installed the Clockworkmod recovery. Now I restored the backup of the Stock "rooted" ROM and I am trying to install the OTA update, however I get an error while it's installing from the Clockworkmod recovery.

1-Is the Clockworkmod causing the problem?

I am now downloading an RUU file to restore (as mentioned on some blogs) my HTC desire to it's original state. Will it work or will I need to install the original recovery of the HTC Desire?

I just want the phone to it's original state, no root and get the OTA updates.

Update: I have a newer version already on my phone, the one restored from the backup of the stock ROM. Newer than the one in the RUU from shippedroms and I heard that it wont work since I have a newer version.

Watch this:

http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/09/10/how-to-unroot-the-evo-in-2-steps/

Edit: This video should be the same for your phone. If you used unrevoked forever, then you'll need to follow his step about the S-ON (assuming yours says S-OFF in your boot screen). If you just used plain old Unrevoked, then skip it and load the RUU only.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Plazma1:
Hi guys,

My co-worker and I are both on mobilicity running winmo 6.5. I have a maple and he has a snap. We both have different firmware running as my phone came from Wind and his from Mobilcity.

We both keep running into the problem that once we go into the subway and come back out, the data connection fails to work until we reboot the phone. Going into the comm manager and trying to turn on data always fails. Anyone know why this might be and / or how to remedy this.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] aosimon:
same problem here... tried the turning data off and on thing and it didn't work, haven't tried turning the phone off and on in the comm manager tho. will try that next time it happens and report back
[Dash 3G, Snap General] metro007:
I had this problem on wm 6.1 too (HP ipaq 514)....and my snap have it now. try to do following: 1. close app that used connection. 2. dissconect by comm manager or datadisconnect.exe (in windows folder) 3. turn on connection again ... sometimes it helps me!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drei3:
Today I noticed that my Nexus One was trying to update to the newest hboot version (0.35) and the newest market version (2.12). Both of them failed, hboot with a signature verification error and the market with a -104 return code.

I'm running the following:

CM 6.1 RC2

Build FRG83

ClockworkMod recovery 2.5.1.0

Radio 5.12.00.08

Wildmonks kernel

Is it possible to do these updates manually, or will CM fail to work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Misread... D'oh!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You're phone was trying to update?

Meaning you got an OTA while running CM?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drei3:
No, I opened up the Market, updated some other apps, then went into aLogcat and saw those messages.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drei3:
I couldn't replicate for the Market update, but here's the log for the hboot update. The important bits start at line 897
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankDeath:
You may not be able to recreate the market update because it succeeded. The newer version of the market has the "Similar" app tab. I didn't have that tab yesterday, but I do today.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drei3:
I see that tab as well, but I'm still running the old Market 1.82. The new version is 2.12 I believe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankDeath:
I'm also running Market 1.82. I retract my previous comment that implied I have any idea what is going on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just checked, and my log has the same error on CM, also...

[XPERIA X8 General] pulpoff2:
I see lots of mistreated and tortured owners of Sony X8 phones.

People bought them in hope to replace old phones and use as main device.

So far NOBODY can use this phone as their main device.

The 2.1 firmware .504 was made same time when X10 was released, but we did not get it, only to receive the root-impossible .47 version !!!

I am sure this was my last purchase from sweden (yes, no ikea, no volvo and no stinky swedish fish for me from now on).

Are there more people feeling like me ?

Tell ericshits what we think of them, show your support for boycotting sweden and their stupid eric**** employees.

Nothing good ever came from sweden anyway (except Abba, long time ago)
[XPERIA X8 General] jeppegeer:
Personally i'm quite satisfied with my X8, I bought it as a toy and to experiment with rooting, since i didn't want to risc bricking my X10. I now use it as a 3G modem with great success, but since it's the cheapest Android phone available in my country by a margin of 20% under the nearest HTC phone, i never expected much from the X8.
[XPERIA X8 General] zen1k:
I use it for everything and I am satisfied w/o rooting. It's my sixth SE phone
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Your poll is extremely bias. Basically what you've done is said

Do you like Sony Phones?

-No

-No

-No

-No

Not everyone is going to agree with you.

And yes, I've always been happy with Sony Phones. I agree, however, that their decision to keep an android phone locked down is stupid, though.
[XPERIA X8 General] brixzen:
Android is opensource... user can customize own phone... sony is ****... they lock android... i will sell my phone with the best buyer.. HTC i'm coming..!!! i use sony phone about 3year. i like walkman.. user can customize walkman phone.. sony ****..!!!

[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
Its realy good phone.It have everything from android to gps,wi-fi,bluetoth and is cheap.You are crazy men.Why you are buy phone if you dont like it.

Buy iPhone 4 for 2000 dollars then you will be sad because iPhone doesnt have to much better things then SE x8.
[XPERIA X8 General] Acc3ss:
Agree 2 u.

That was definitly my last SE phone. It's the ONLY Android device which isn't rootable!
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
No, it is rootable. Just not on 2.1 firmware. :P
[XPERIA X8 General] gunawan-1:
Agree. Iphone 4 is worse than this cheap x8 phone I almost can do everything with it. I phone is more troublesome. Jailbreak and many other stupid things. X8 w/o root is still smarter than iphone.

Gunawan-GN Multimedia-X10i
[XPERIA X8 General] FCW:
I agree. Despite not being able to root 2.1 it's a very well put together device even if you havent updated yet. Besides its only a matter of time before one of us geeks finds another exploit :)
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Yeah, dat's right. At least they gave us an 2.1 update, right?
[XPERIA X8 General] MEDBED:
I'm using x8 as a main phone, and i had waited it since august. I like Sony phones-the best phones.
[XPERIA X8 General] qsmyle:
I have a Sony Ericsson P910i. This phone was a brick. My friend, Kristian used it as a work phone. It was dark red when I got it. Kristian was painted it. I cleaned the whole device and assembled it as a brand new hammer.

Now I have an X8. Akku is **** but that is the only benefit of Android phones. My GPS flying, Android 2.1 flying as well. I need the root only or hacking the bootloader. That is only 11 more days. I can wait.

I am handling this device as a finger friendly computer. I do not brake it as Kristian but this phone lives as the fish in the ocean.
[XPERIA X8 General] droidjens:
Not too keen about such a biased poll... thought I'd balance it a bit.

I'm happy about my x8, but I do realize that I would be even more happy with an android device from another manufacturer. For me, its not a phone, it's an android device. How well it performs as an android device is alpha omega. Manufacturers that don't provide updates to most recent version ASAP, are simply cut from my list of potential buys in the future.

I have no anger towards SE. I am happy about my phone. Next time tho, it won't be an SE, unless they convince me they got their stuff together and realize that its no longer about the phones, but about running android well. I'll simply look elsewhere.

Manufacturers who still think they sell phones (SE, Nokia), will have a hard time competing with companies who sell devices (HTC, LG, Samsung).

So, noticed when I walked from one Wifi zone to another, if I left my wifi activated, I would only get Edge, never 3G. With Wifi off, 3G appeared again. Long story short:

Without wifi, menu (*#*#4636#*#*) shows GSM auto (PRL)

With wifi and WITHOUT wifi calling... same.

With wifi and WITH wifi calling GSM only.

Interesting only in that if you keep your wifi active you have to kill wifi calling if you want to also be able to detect 3G. FWIW.

Anyone else know why the game needs permission to EDIT/READ your SMS'?

Really seemed dodgy at the installation screen.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
Played for a bit last night after a nice discussion with ebay and their great systems, but that is another issue heh...

This game is pretty neat for a free game. The game play is pretty good, controls are similar to the ipod/touch controls on the games there.

Kind of funny tho, gameloft tweeted about the free game and when I initially went to download from gameloft.com on the phone, it cost 4.99. I retweeted to them and they said N1's aren't supported/available. I thanked them for the info and went online via PC and downloaded the desire version and had the link sent to me via text, and viola, game on :).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chowlala:
For those of you who got the game from GameLoft. I'd be wary.

The installation permission requires that you allow it to edit/read your sms'.

Wth does a game need to edit or read my sms' for? I've got like 110 apps installed and none of 'em require this permission.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Probably to verify that your phone matches the sms link that they sent you.

Looking for suggestions. first of all, has anybody filled up the packaged 8gb memory on your phone? and if you've upgraded your SD card, please let me know what kind and how much, I saw a 16gb mircroSDHC from newegg but the reviews were not so great:

*well apparently I cannot post outside links

but here is the item number from newegg.com N82E16820139121
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Chedderknight:
I upgraded to a Winston 16GB Class 10, I got about 4GB's left due to music and movies
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Lakeshow423:
Upgraded to a WinTec 16GB class 6 on the first day! It worked awsome!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] agentaaron:
using the 16gb sandisk that came with my HD2...works fine, (didn't work for crap in the HD2 though). I do not keep a lot of music on it anymore now that I use Slacker almost exclusively...but I do have a couple movies on there at the moment.

I am using the 8GB that came with my MT4G in my HD2 to run Android (works fine as well)

I'm sure you shouldn't have a problem with anything up to a 32gb...just buy from a respectable seller, I have heard a lot of horror stories about cards off ebay
[myTouch 4G Accessories] VDubLife:
cool, thanks fellas, looks like I'll just go with a 16gb gonna go for a class 10 one.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] TmobileDash12:
i'd recommend class 6 since the hardware can barely read as fast as a class 10 card.

but if you wanna spend the extra bucks on wasted speed, go ahead =P
[myTouch 4G Accessories] crypysmoker:
I took the 16gb class 6 sd that came in my Fender mytouch and popped it in. Ive got about about 4.8gb left with music, movies and roms on it. Since there arent any roms that use ext or swap yet, theres really no way to tell how well it functions other then the music and the movies play fine lol
[myTouch 4G Accessories] VDubLife:
actually I dont, so I'll save some monies and go with a class 6 ;)

I bought a 32gb memory card class 4 from Adorama for 99.99 with free shipping. Got it and made sure I ran a speed tester on it and it passed.

Just kinda agreeing with agentaaron, my 16gig that came with my hd2 didnt work so well with the hd2 but it loves the mytouch..cant figure it out as I thought it as a defective card...but works just fine.

ok, so I got a 16gb card class 10 for 30 bucks from the egg, can I just copy/paste everything over from my stock card onto the new one and my phone should work just fine but with the extra storage space correct?

Hey I know im in the wrong plave, but can someone help me. My 8gb is filled with usless crap like roms/apps addons/downloads. I have very little music. And I was wondering what I can get rid of to free up room. Theres no way im using all 8 gbs besides my music and android os.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] cal3thousand:
1) Copy your whole card to your HDD

2) Download Astro from Market

3) Open Astro, hit Menu, Tools, SD Card Usage

4) Find out what is taking up all the room

5) Use your noggin to delete what YOU think you don't need

6) Remember that you made a backup :o

Back OT:

I've narrowed down my choices for my new 16GB card to the Wintec Class 10 on Newegg for ~30 or the Komputerbay Class 6 for ~40. Only the reviews so far are making it a tough decision. Will you guys with either card please revisit this thread next week and post your findings after repeated use?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] cal3thousand:
Posting Findings

Got my 16GB Wintec Class 10 in the mail on Friday.

Tested with CrystalDiskMark 64-bit using the prepackaged SD adapter in my laptops SD slot 3 times each.

Sequential Reads 13MB/s+

Sequential Writes 11-12MB/s

I'm impressed. I will continue to use and report back findings.

Going to get my wife one for her MT4G and another one for the Nook Color (X-mas gift) I will be getting.

EDIT:

Tested the stock SanDisk 8GB Class 4 that came with the phone:

Sequential Read : 11 MB/s

Sequential Write: 5.3 MB/s

slightly above the Class 4 rating. Going to keep this card as my 'Movies' card for long trips and such.

Tested my Transcend 8GB Class 6 from my G1:

Sequential Read : 12.5 MB/s

Sequential Write: 6.0 MB/s

Just meeting Class 6 requirements. Will put my daughter's movies on it.
