[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
I would argue the opposite, that the Fascinate would be perfect for mainstream users. Most people -- especially those new to Android -- won't notice (and therefore, be bothered by) the non-standard stuff that we power users hate (like Bing).

Even TouchWiz is good for most people -- while it isn't as polished as Sense, it definitely is simpler than stock Android. So, those same things that we love to hate -- like how TouchWiz just so happens to closely resemble iOS -- are actually pros for less technically-inclined folks.

I think CNet's review put it well:
[Fascinate General] Gurm:
Lots of people really like Touchwiz. My mom thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread, although even she hates Bing.

As for what I'd recommend... the Droid X is a nice phone, but I didn't like it. It's lumpy, ugly, feels funny in my hand... and let's not forget that it's slower than the Incredible or Fascinate.

I like the Incredible... a lot. But in the end I went with the Fascinate... nicer screen won the day for me. Also Swype is GODLIKE.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Hi all im looking for a aplication to make video calls whit my tab to a windows live messenger on a PC.

Already test fring(no video) and jujuby(can log on msn).

Any one have any of these or other working?

Thx in advance.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mcse17:
Try QIK.. that might work... also look here http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/226-anyone-get-the-webcam-to-work/
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] toddlmr:
Have not had luck with qik but tango works well.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ikari:
Tango only works whit other tango programs. And qik only records video.

I want a tabpc MSN video call app
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] The Physician:
Sadly, there doesn't seem to be ANY way to video call from a tab to a PC yet.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] a454nova:
What about skype?

Edit: you said video, sorry..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] RADroid:
No way to put compatible client on the PC like Yahoo Messenger and use the equivalent droid client? Does it have to be Win Live?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Ikari:
99.5% of ppl in Portugal dont know what yahoo is. So all my friends/conntacts use WinLive Messenger
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Trillian maybe ?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Android client doesn't support any form of video.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] omar.hindawi:
i doubt thee is yet, but I think very soon they might have one. well if yahoo has an add on, i think msn should have one as well!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] abuser0815:
yahoo doesn´t support samsung galaxy in the new version.

i was looking for so long, but i really didn´t find anything.

guess we have to wait until 2.3 will show up. heard there will be more native support for such things......
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] RADroid:
Fring says it works with msn messenger if that's the same as win live messenger

Sorry you said you tested that ill keep my eyes open
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
Today the phone drained from fully charged to 20% in some hours. Noticed the sync icon was on despite sync setting was off. Looked in accounts, and the calendar was trying to sync\ seemed stuck.

Enabled sync then unchecked calendar and checked it again, for now it seems ok.

Any ideas what may have caused this? If this happens it can drain the phone fast
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lanege:
switch off data in background , may be solve your problem ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] projectsome:
You probably have auto sync on as well...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
background data and auto sync was off...

Looked in settings and under account noticed that the calendar sync was stuck\trying to sync every few minutes.

So enable auto sync, uncheck then check calendar again, then turn off auto sync seems to have worked.

In normal use the battery doesnt last long, this bug drained the phone in 8 hours.
[Desire General] htcdesiry:
i have a rooted desire with Leedroid v2.2f custom rom and the boot screen is not coming at all.

this happened when i flashed a libs file on the phone

is there a way i can get my boot screen to come again ?:)
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Use the nandroid you made before flashing the lib or reflash leedroid
[Desire General] htcdesiry:
i dont want to reflash the whole leedroid rom

is there a way to reflash the boot screen only ?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Are you only missing the boot screen/animation but your phone boots? if yes, than you can just put a new one in /system/customize/resources.

If your phone does not boot and you know which libs you flashed you can copy them back in recovery. If you don't know, reflash leedroid without data wipe and only wipe both caches.
[Desire General] pityonline:
I got the same problem. I thought something wrong with the screen, so I changed to a new Desire with extra 400 RMB....
[Desire General] htcdesiry:

[Nook Color General] dazzlet:
Does anybody know where I can buy a nook color in the uk I have tried to look but cant find any thing.

I then came across a advent vega but cant get one of them either, I'm desperate to get an android pad that will run 2.2 so I get flash support but they dont seem to be anywhere.

I did then see a commtiva tab but I dont think the hardware of the commtiva is as good.

Could anybody help me out here as to what I could get ite where to get in the uk.

The only one I could actually get hold of was the commtiva but I dont know how good it is really compared to the advent or nook but I cant go above £300 to be honest.

Would love your help and advice
[Nook Color General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
I can mail you one from the states for 400 USD via paypal.
[Nook Color General] Bytion:
I am in france, order it from amazon last week, still not here yet, I guess I also need pay tax for that, which sucks.
[Nook Color General] Babis_ECE:
I am also still waiting to see if it will be available in UK soon so i can order it from there..
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:

[Nook Color General] wyefye:
i have one i'm willing to sell.

I'm not too impressed with it. seems to be way underpowered for a "tablet". maybe its not even underpowered,and if not, the rom needs to be tweaked.

3 days old so far. let me know if you want it, if not its going back to b&n soon.

300usd + whatever to ship?
[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
I got mine in sweden via my dad in the us, took ages via usps though!
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
I would consider buying one and sending it out. I only want to do one or two just as a pay it forward kind of thing, as a thanks to XDA. I'll do it for cost plus shipping. Of coarse I would want prepayment upfront. I also will only do it for someone who has been a member for awhile and also has a good number of posts.

Keep in mind, build quality isn't great with these things if you want an unopened one. I can open it and make sure their are not any dead pixels and nothing horrible is wrong with it.
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] borodin1:

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] NarkTwo:
Thanks borodin1!!

I am not a dev or claim to know much about much but I am happy I figured something out thru trying!

Just to know that you would be all over this makes me feel pretty damn good about myself!

Hopefully others can find this useful in some way or another!

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] droctii:
Can you post the APKs and how you set permissions? Thanks
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] djeddieone:
blackberty like address book

I used to have a blackberry then moved on to the Samsung vibrant and now mytouch 4G. I love my phone but I really do hate the Android address book I don't get why they can't have a a feature where you can see the company name of the contact. Specially when you have a few contacts with the same name and you wanna view the company name by just scrolling through the names. It gets really annoying yo have to click on every single contact to view their company name.

If anyone has a solution please share
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vtecbros:
Man I would love this on my phone. Hate sense dialer. Please share how to do :) thanks.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] NarkTwo:
Done! Updated Original Post!

Let me know if this works for you as well as I am curious to see if it is giving anyone any problems!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] NarkTwo:
I found this workaround that may work for you

Source:http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-applications/39982-display-company-name-incoming-calls.html

Just edit the name in your address book to include it.

Instead of Bob make it say "Bob - CompanyXYZ" or

Instead of Bob make it say "CompanyXYZ - Bob " This way seems better cause they will then list in succession in you contacts list..

ex.

MyCompany - Deez N U T'z

MyCompany - Freakin High

MyCompany - Mike Hunt

Makes sense to me...

Loving the AOSP Phone/Contacts!!! THKS!!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] nguyendqh:
How do you set permissions? And I can't install the contacts.apk with Root Explorer. Am I supposed to?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mightywonton:
does this work for the Iced Glacier mod with the custom Gorilla kernal?

i dont like the HTC SENSE!! argh!! Would be great to have this!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Drakon911:
I'm using Iced Glacier and have this installed with no problems so far.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] NarkTwo:
To set permissions with Root Explorer, you long press the file and press the "permissions" option on the dialog box. It then comes up with a dialog box that has options to either check, or un-check permissions for each group.

Apply the specifications of permissions from the first post.

You are basically just copying the file to your /system/app directory and setting permissions and this is considered installing. You are not installing the APK like a normal app, where it actually says installing...

Google search is your phone's friend and your friend....

I am glad you like it! I too am pretty pleased with the results...

Good to know! Thanks for letting the comm. know!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mightywonton:
nice will try this soon.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] nguyendqh:
Alright got it installed and set the permissions.

Does X X O mean on on off/checked checked unchecked?

And also, how do you keep the HTC Contacts but use the AOSP Call Log?

Is that doable? Lol.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] NarkTwo:
That is correct! XXO = Checked Checked UnChecked

If you didn't remove the HTC Sense Contacts (which if done I believe would cause major issues but not sure), then both will be there!

Just re-read what you had said, it's all about setting the proper defaults when asked.

Not too much control is had when using both because a default set using one will then in turn affect one another...

I don't think I can explain this well...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] starck22:
Works on Evo!

I have been looking all over XDA for a stock aosp dialer/contacts solution so I can use one icon instead of two and this not only got me to finally purchase Root Explorer (awesome btw) but also got the solution working. Thanks so much!!

[G Tablet General] beepoo83:
Hey guys

Actually I have question about youtube HQ video when I play video it doesn't work very well a lot of lags, is this tetra 2 power. Anyway to fix that. I'm using stock UI
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
By stock UI, I assume you mean you're running the stock Tap N Tap ROM. YouTube slowness was an issue with all the early ROMs, but was fixed by the driver update pack that's since been integrated into TNT Lite, ZPad and Vegan ROMs, but not released by Viewsonic or Tap N Tap in an official build yet.

So basically, you'll have to install one of the ROMs from the development forum. No problems with smooth YouTube playback on current versions of TNT Lite, ZPad or Vegan ROMs. There's a nice GUIDE thread over in the development forum to talk you through installing Clockwork Mod and TNT Lite.
[G Tablet General] beepoo83:
Thanks dude.

I prefer to wait till the new update on Dec 19 I just wanna see if there is major improvement after installing that update. so is there anyway to get youtube works with stock UI like setting or tweak?
[G Tablet General] jorges74:
Upgrade the ROM. You will be so happy you did. It is an entirely different machine once it is upgraded.
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
so everthing is going good, then I look at my phone and it says the current temp is 53 and raining, its in the 20s and snowing here, so I hit refresh and it says I'm somewhere in China.....reboot and it does the same thing....open up gps and hit my location, and walah, I'm in China.

Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

I was running D101 Super Clean, but last weekend I installed the DJO5 and the JT's Clean rom for it, all was good for over a week, then bam, today I'm in China haha.

Justin
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Lol that's funny. I wish i had something to help you with but i have tried a bunch of different things and im still having gps problems.
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
Ningbo, Zhejiang to be exact....lol.....I just completly shut down and pulled the battery, fired it back up and yup, I'm still there with light rain and 53 haha.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
Did you go into the weather settings and change your location?
[Fascinate General] Kaessa:
I had this happen to me the other day, and I just did a *22899 and it fixed everything.
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
Yes, the problem is in my GPS....it registers me in China, I have the app set to whereever my current location is.

I tried this, it completed and rebooted the phone but to no avail....

On anther note, I forgot that I had also installed the UltimateNex Theme, which I believe is my problelm, I did my appropriate backups and then did a system wipe, re-installed the DJO5 update and all was good, GPS showed correct location and weather app showed correct....installed the theme again and BAM, I'm back in China....just south of Shanghi :eek:

So, I guess I'll get rid of this theme and try another one.

Justin
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
I think I fixed it....got rid of the UltimateNex theme, and tried the Gingerbread Theme, so far so good, GPS and Weather are correct....so we'll see I guess....I just don't get how a theme would affect the GPS number 1 and number 2, why would it randomly just shoot itself to some random town in China?

Anyway, working for now.

Justin
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
I think you were lying the whole time. We know you're in China ;)
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
Haha, you got me....if your ever in Ningbo, Zhejiang, feel free to hit me up, I'll probably be one of the few 6'2 300 lb honkys with a southern accent:D
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
NO Joke!

So all was good on a new Theme, even loaded the new swype last night and the new market, working great....then just a few min ago I refreshed my weather to check the current temp and BAM....away I go, however this time its not China, GPS and weather both have me just off Snow Hill Rd in CHULUOTA, FL.....for reference I am in Knoxville, TN

I just don't get why it will be working fine and then BAM, away I go to FL.:confused:

So, as a recap.....

for over a month I ran JT's clean rom no issues...

thought I'd give the DJ05 thing a try, worked great for over a week with the UltimateNEX theme then started having the issue.....

I restarted, nada....

pulled battery, nada.....

cleared cashe, nada.....

full wipe, fixed.....

reloaded DJ05 with JT's clean ROM, still working....

loaded the UltimateNEX theme and I'm back in China....

loaded UltimateGingerbread theme, and all was fixed till this morning and it says I am in FL.

Any tips other than run the stock rom, no theme which I'll really miss?

Thanks,

Justin
[Fascinate General] Fyrmedic654:
Wow, you get around. One of the funniest threads I've read. I've ben using superdark theme only and so far I've stayed in Panama City. Really wierd for you tho. Just out of curiosity,

Were you using wifi? if so, maybe somehow your internet said you were there, bypassing your gps. I'm fishing
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
I thought about that, but while I am at work we have no wifi in my office, and half the time its on 1g when I'm at my desk, as soon as I left work though it went right back to Knoxvegas like normal....seems only in my building it does it....just never did it before monday, so I don't know, I'm at a loss.

Justin
[Fascinate General] Fyrmedic654:
I'm lost too...but, neither of us as lost as your GPS. Sorry, couldn't resist. Wish I could help
[Fascinate General] nmyeti:
At least your phone doesn't have the ability to physically move you to new locations. Would give location services a whole new meaning. Think that is a new feature of sherbert, figure we'll be there in a few years...must be in beta by now :)
[Fascinate General] TNScrambler:
haha, I don't know, that might be pretty cool if I could punch in a gps location in to the phone and get there.

So yesterday the whole day at work it said I was FL, walked out to my truck to leave and I'm back in k-town. Today, refreshed my weather at my desk, BAM, back to FL. Walked to the bathroom couple hours later and glance at the phone, BAM, back in TN and it stayed there the rest of the day. I really don't know. I'm digging this gingerbread theme, so i'm not wanting to change that again, so i guess I'll live with it for now....keeps things interesting lol
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Sounds like maybe you're getting bad location data from agps causing the issues. Have you tried to use something like GPS Status to update the data?
[Fascinate General] danwanna:
I have a similar issue only my GPS keeps putting me in Iowa or Canada. Rebooting has always fixed mine though, so I don't know if we have the exact same problem.

I have tried using GPS Status and GPS Fix but neither seemed to help at all.

Running SuperDark on DJ05 here.

Today I flashed my 1st ROM (MYN's Warm 2.2) very exciting and exhilirating. I also downloaded HTC Kernel #17. I used Unrevoked 3 to get superuser and used My Backup Pro to backup. I used this guys instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvWcIBcZvxw

Everything seem to go fine. I did what he said and wiped Dalvik and Cache after I installed Myn's ROM. Will that automatically install the HTC Kernel #17 after a reboot or do I have to manually do that like I installed the ROM in Recovery. Also what does the Kernel do? I follow you guys alot on XDA and you guys are VERY HELPFUL. Thanks for any help:D

Also, what are some other cool ROM's. I can see this becoming an addiction:)
[EVO 4G General] terrel_b:
Myn's ROM comes with the HTC #17 kernel already, so you don't have to flash it. If you'd like to install a kernel though, it would be flashed the same way as the ROM.

The kernel is the primary system components of the OS.
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
Thanks for your quick reply. After I installed Myn's ROM I wiped Cache and Dalvik again, will this hurt me and will I need to install MYN's ROM again. Everything seems to be working fine.
