It's only on Android at the moment.

But you can get a generic forum app here: http://www.board-express.com/

Made by the same people that make the Android xda app.

I flashed to Froyo 2.2 leaked the day I got my phone and never even knew about device ID. What does this mean for my future
[Captivate General] gormander:
You can always flash back to stock using the following method (see link):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Once you flash back to stock, write down the ID and then do as you wish. This is the only way I can think of right now in order to get your ID. However, I thought the Froyo 2.2 leaks only changed the Android ID and not the device ID. But in any case, you can always go back to stock and write whatever information you need down.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
Yeah, the problem is with the Android ID. After flashing 20+ times now, I decided only 2 days ago to save my Android ID when I flashed back to JF6. Before then, I was running with the incorrect Android ID or randomly generated ID without a problem.

And the way I ended up getting my Android ID was flashing to JF6, and downloading the app "Android ID Changer" (no root required just to view your ID)
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I still have a backup copy of my JF6 settings.db file on my computer from when I first enabled sideloading. Just so happens, it's also my backup of my Android ID. :D

So just a thought for everyone else who comes around this thread for whatever reason, if you have a nandroid backup of your 2.1 rom, just dump the data.img file and grab your settings.db, open it with your favorite SQLite editor, and nab your Android ID out of it.
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
Ok, let me make sure I know what we're talking about. I flashed my Captivate to the leaked 2.2. It's rooted and lagfixed.

So, in doing so I've lost my device ID? How does this affect the phone? I haven't noticed any differences.

[Captivate General] mcord11758:
You may have periodic market problems. There are some games that may not work.

If it is working ok for you then go with it for now. When you are bored with what you are on and want to change roms you should and probably have to flag back to stock. St that time you can readily retrieve your id using app android id changer
[Captivate General] bames:
i had an issue where even flashing back to stock one click wasn't rest IMEI or ID (also had changed my product code to tmobile.

Regardless your originial id can be found in multiple places

1. i believe its on the label under your battery

2. if the label is unreadable if you registered your phone with samsung website log in you can see your IMEI.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The IMEI and Android ID are NOT the same thing. They are not related in any way at all.

If you mess up your IMEI there is no way to recover it or change it without a hardware device. The IMEI ties your phone to the carrier network and is used in conjunction with your SIM card.

This discussion is about the Android ID - it has nothing to do with cell phone networks or carriers, but it is used by games and the Market to identify your device. It can be changed very easily.
[Captivate General] bames:
not sure what your referring to as hardware device. Mine was messed up after flashing one of the i9000 roms as was my product code. Many of the custom roms assign a generic imei when installed but is usually restore to original when one click odin back to stock. In one instance doing such wouldn't restore it.

Both were able to be restored using root manager and a hex editor to correct the nv_data.bin file.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Where do you find the device id anyway?
[Captivate General] gormander:
I downloaded an app called "ID" made by "Sora Takayama" from the market. That lists your SIM Serial, Device ID, Android ID and Subscriber ID.
[Captivate General] bames:
Actually if you look at the first post the user asked specifically about their DEVICE ID (+ the thread title is regarding DEVICE ID) which is the IMEI as i understand. The Android ID is in fact different than the IMEI (DEVICE ID) and its possible he meant to reference android id but i was simply responding to the question as it was stated rather than reading anything into it.

So to be clear my understanding is

IMEI = DEVICE ID

IMEI does not = ANDROID ID

DEVICE ID does not = ANDROID ID

-------------

and +1 on the ID app...i am going to snap a screen shot of it to keep saved on external and hard drive so i have the info accessible if something gets messed up.
[Captivate General] avs420:
Sorry I meant Android ID
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
What happens if you ddn't write down your device ID when you got your phone?

A little Korean dude shows up at your house, rings the bell and then laughs in your face. :D

[Captivate General] bames:
he already did that after the most recent "gps optimization" app released in the market
[Nexus One General] saiful73:
My nexus one after root APN is not working. Any idea! Please help.
[Nexus One General] dolphin77:
Do you use market enabler? When I set T-Mobile settings in market enabler, all the APN settings switches to T-Mobile. When I restore settings from Market enabler, or reboot my device, Everything goes back and my provider APN settings comes back (I am on Cyanogenmod, only need to choose correct default APN, since my provider has different packets with different access points and then it remains).
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
A little more info might be useful.

What provider are you on? What is your current APN set up? What ROM are you using (stock or otherwise)? What method did you use to root? As asked by dolphin777, do you have any apps installed that would impact the APN settings?
[Nexus One General] osugsxr:
My issue was I had numbers in the apn when it should just be two lines. Cbw, wap.gocbw.com
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
I figured it was something silly like that. Glad you got it sorted.

And thanks for posting the solution :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LTonthetrack_G1:
If your having that many issues, i would go back to JDF and reflash... BUT... If you want, try this...

Download the zip here

http://www.adrive.com/public/9840050...47ef3e95b.html

Extract BOTH files, move to SD...

With Root Explorer find /system/etc

Remove vold.conf and vold.fstab

REPLACE those with the vold files you just extracted from the zip...

Reboot...

SD mounting issue fixed!

ok...im kind of a noob, is there another way to handle this? like is it a flashable -zip somewhere at all? i mean if not, then whatever...but can someone let me know! thanks!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] MusicMan374:
Well, for the benefit of the community, I thought it'd be nice to share my experiences with some screen covers.

I received the phone from a friend with ghost armor on it, but it had some indentations and weird spots on it so I went to the kiosk to have it reapplied for $5. I turned on the phone, and there is a big piece of dirt AND a hair under the screen, pissed me off because I had to go all the way back to the mall to get it reapplied again. The second time it seemed alright, but liquid "hazing" he said would go away never went away, which was also angering. I ordered ZAGG invisible shield, since they were having a 75% off sale for screen only. They sent me one, but it was really odd. They sent me one that was cut to cover the buttons, which makes no sense because the buttons aren't touch sensitive, you have to press them, which would cause air bubbles and deformations in the cover. Sure enough it did, I don't know why they designed it to cover the buttons, which aren't level with the screen at all times. I did my best to just cut the bottom portion off so it wouldn't cover the buttons. It worked enough, it doesn't look pretty, with pretty jagged edges, but at least the screen area itself has no irregularities. There are still a couple of vertical scratch marks I can see on a white screen, from the squeegee i'm guessing, so I'm hoping that those will go away in the next few days.

The whole screen protector covering the buttons also caused some issues with the liquid solution getting into the phone, and my home key stopped working for a few hours, but it seems to have come back, I was panicking there for a bit.

I had a ZAGG invisible shield on my g1 before it finally gave out, and ghost armor seemed to scratch easily, I always got dents and malformations imprinted on it within a few days. With the invisible shield I can take a key to it, and it won't scratch. I actually did this with my g1 as a demonstration. I think they have modified the material to glide more smoothly since my g1, so it's not AS resistant, but I'm pretty sure it'll be stronger than ghost armor was.

If you DO get invisibleshield though, cut the bottom off to make it flat, it will screw up your buttons otherwise. Also, with my experience and others' that I have read, applying it yourself ends up being better quality.

As for the "orange peel" thing, you can see it if you look at the reflection, but I can't feel it. That might be because I play guitar and have thick calluses on my fingertips, but I don't notice it when I touch the screen.

Ghost armor seemed to be better resistant to skin oils and smudges as well. My experience has been better with ZAGG though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] aaldiar:
Personally I use the Mirrored Finish protector from Wireless Emporium online and after 4 months I simply clean it a couple times a week when I'm bored. Though I do have a clear one on order from them because the Mirrored Finish does darken the screen some and causes some refraction issues with some colors. I'm fairly rough with my phone and have no scratches after about 4 months of use. It is fairly fingerprint resistant but I do have kids and get odd stuff on my hands now and again.

Oh, and the protectors here don't overlay the buttons on the bottom at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] yayo685:
kudos on the zagg shield i work at best buy and use that cover on my stuff. i just got a generic cover and cut out to match the screen of my slide but yes it is good stuff
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkyMcBain:
Are there any alternatives to gallery? I really don't like gallery app on the N1 it's just so clunky and slow and annoying to me
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarksonator:
Had the same problem and found justpictures which I like so far as it's fast and easy.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
Hah. That seems to be opposite of me. I'm loving the gallery app though.

Even though the app consistently have a bug upon opening but I love the preview of the catalogs. Have you found all the goodness of the stock gallery though?
[Hero CDMA General] vita10gy:
Part of what makes android great is its openness. I have, and absolutely hated, an HTC Hero. CM6 and all the kernals out there (and swype) changed that. It's still a laggy pile, but I have a feeling if I went back to the stock rom I'd be shocked at how bad it is.

Anyway, to get to the point, my friend got an intercept from virgin mobile, and I found out my brother has a moment. I was looking into custom Roms and whatnot for them to speed up their phones, assuming that with all the projects going on, they had something like we do.

As far as I can tell, they don't. Granted I've invested some time in the hero, so the "where do I even start" factor isn't nearly as high, but both the moment and instinct appeared to be in complete dissarray. There are 200 updates for the stock eclair rom and 200 roms based off of all of them. It seemed like no matter what rom you ran there was some "well this is faster, but the video camera doesn't work", style trade offs. As far as I could tell they've got about as much of a CM6 port, the only attempt at froyo I could see, running on the moment as ASOP had running on his heroc gingerbread build about 6 hours after the SDK hit.

So, I don't know if we got lucky that the smart/right guys got a hero as their phone, or if samsung phones are a tougher nut to crack, or what, but we really have it good over here. Even this forum itself is better and easier than the alternatives.

So, long story short, thanks for all the hard work boys and girls.

Edit: And it's quite possible, probable even, I'm wrong and there are tons of Froyo fully functioning roms for the moment, but the point still remains that there's so much crap out there that you know know what's what.
[Hero CDMA General] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
I could not agree more. I have read a lot here in the Hero community (hence my low post count, I wanted to learn, not have my hand held) ;) Then I started exploring XDA, especially from my phone. It's amazing how much talent there is in the Hero forums, even compared to newer, better phones.
[Hero CDMA General] Arnold_Ziffel:
Echoing Fer's comment, XDA forums were a huge part of the reason that I got an Android phone vs. becoming an IPhone devotee. Constant improvements have been wonderful.

I know that I am NOT the reason that you, the developers, do what you do. But please accept my thanks for your irresistible urge to examine and improve.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabbivj:
so can someone explain to me what "Charging Death" is? ive seen it a few times in the Assonance forum but what is it really? the only thing i can think of is my phone shuts off when its on the charger, its done that to me maybe once...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
That's exactly what it is. If you leave it on the charger too long past 100% it turns off basically.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

thats what i figured...but wasnt sure...thx.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjd223:

If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jabberworx:
So is this a HTC only app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
SWEEET! Thanks for the heads-up. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
does this mean you found the app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiwas:
Couldn't find it either...:S
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Not yet. My HD7 is resting peacefully while my HD2 gets to use the sim card. Once I've had my fill of HD2 goodness, I will boot up the crown jewel for a luxury ride and install the app. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
Here's some screenshots...Sorry for the crappy shots, but you get the point...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nehvada:
doesnt appear in the european market :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
thanks for posting it. Wonder why I can't find it on my hd7. I'll keep looking.

for all y'all looking for it, try going to marketplace/ apps/ music and video/ free. It was the first one there, but I couldn't find it by searching.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Cool. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
No prob. I just went into Apps then sideswiped to new and it was about 10 apps down, under Holy Bible. Correction, 1 app after that, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
didn't show up under search.

Now if it only allowed you to login to see your subscribed videos....

Much higher quality video over data and wifi and it shows the lighter color download bar as well so you know if its gonna buffer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
Not to mention being able to touch the point in video you want to see.:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] f1restarter:
Great find OP! Now only if someone would come out with tune-in radio app for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
what is that? fm radio?
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
that's not what i heard, is that through homebrew or something?
[Windows Phone 7 General] f1restarter:
It's AM/FM radio app and has the best UI I have seen so far on a phone. It's on android and iOS, think it's also on Blackberry. Iheart radio just sucks IMO with it's crappy UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
so is this HTC only?

damn Samsung make some fcuking apps or atleast update your lame Now app with live tiles.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
if you haven't found it yet (like myself), give it up to 24 hours. can take some time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] f1restarter:
I found it under apps, Music and Video, new. Was the first one. Finally can watch full screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Theguru1:
still can't find it..in the UK marketplace...?!? what is it called you have original youtube app , and youtube by lazy worm..but what about the HTC one??
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Just looked in the UK marketplace, no sign of it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
it's just called Youtube. I found it in Apps>All>New about 10 apps down, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tbk21:
HTC phones already have a AM/FM radio.

Just go to Zune player and there you've got radio. I love the UI of it.

The youtube app works even without the youtube app from microsoft!
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
For those have Zune available try copying and pasting this link into your address bar (edit: it also works if you click that link on the phone itself...):

[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I get "Sorry the requested item isn't available in your location".
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Doesn't seem to be available in the UK. I can't find the app in the marketplace either. Hopefully it's just because it hasn't propagated to the UK marketplace as opposed to not being available here at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] got:
Same message for me. (in France)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
andthe samein Germany to :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
All phones have FM Radio, it's a requirement for WP7 as it's part of Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Theguru1:
yep me too :0( shame could do with a new version of youtube i wish we could fool the location?!?
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
It is a shame that MS makes such Marketplace fragmentation.

Especially with unified experience in mind.
[Windows Phone 7 General] voodooutt:
I found the app, under apps, new...

One thing is.. When a YouTube link is clicked, it does not automatically point to the HTC app. This is when I click from the official fb app too... Hrmmf

but, the quality is great!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I thought ALL app stores were regional, no? After all, the UK marketplace doesn't really want to be swamped with French, Italian and German apps...
[Windows Phone 7 General] bloodyairtimer:
Here no problems downloading or installing the application. Probably because my Live ID is pointing to a US location.
[Windows Phone 7 General] action_efn_jackson:
I got it this morning as well. I'm in Oklahoma and just went too Apps --> Music & Video --> New.

HQ, lay out rocks, and you can watch it in full screen!

Below is where I heard about it this morning.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
Its not released in germany yet :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] happypark:
It's on the UK Marketplace as of now! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dbsltmch:
is there any way to install this app to non htc phone? I was able to download using zune but it won't install to my samsung focus. It's probably only for HTC phones but I wonder is there is any workaround.
[Windows Phone 7 General] frankd14321:
Great APP and Great Find!
[Windows Phone 7 General] action_efn_jackson:
Just read this on mobile burn. "It's only available for HTC WP7 phones." This was specific to the you tube app. So I am not sure if that applies to all HTC apps. Personally and for marketing reasons I would think HTC would only want them to be able to be used on a HTC device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fabnie[Ger]:
By now it's also available in the German marketplace.

Great application, I like the HQ feature pretty much! It's nice to stream (music)videos in high quality while walking through your flat! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
Is it only visible on HTC devices? I can't see it on my omnia 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Did a quick search for YouTube and found it immediately. Great find. I don't watch it much to begin with, but it's nice to have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Do you have a direct Zune link? I can't see it on my Mozart.
[Windows Phone 7 General] oOp:
found it in german marketplace by searchin "htc" ... works wonderful. deleted the other youtube app. thanks @ htc!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Thanks, found it in the UK marketplace by searching for HTC from the device. Doesn't show up in Zune software yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
searching for htc in both zune client or the phone marketplace gives me no results...
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
Are you searching from an HTC device? It's the very last search result for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hirnteri:
Great app! Thats the youtube-app we want!!

Now, we need a facebook-app as good as this app!
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
Yup, this works for me as well here in the UK ^__^ Thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jut07:
Juste search "youtube" in marketplace, this is the one with a white background.

Work in france.

PS : The video quality is amazing (HD video only).
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
yep, it's up in australia as well. do we need to keep the old youtube app? :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
I uninstalled it and realised that I can't launch the YouTube player when I come across a YouTube video via Internet Explorer. It asks me to download the YouTube app from marketplace. It seems that if you want to play YouTube videos via other applications, then you need to keep the old YouTube app. If you're only going to watch YouTube videos directly, then you can just have the HTC one installed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
No you caN UNINSTALL that one (I hate caps lock)

I guarantee you the same thing will happen when you browse to a LG app.

you can read about it but no way to install

P.S. Anyway, it signed for HTC handsets only :-( We need to find the way to re-sign xap. It's a real "white hat" task!..
