[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
So far, we know...

NOTHING.

I would say they'd just skip it, they've spent about a year on froyo for us, and nexus s already has gingerbread, so.... yeah.

so far we know nothing :)
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
That was in Canada on Bell's Vibrant.

Seeing how I'm running a leaked T-Mobile branded Froyo Rom, I think it's coming. :p
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
they pulled the update for Bells Vibrant (which is essentially more of an AT&T Captivate) and not pulled for good.
[Vibrant General] ironlood:
I was assured by Samsung through the form of a tweet that they guaranteed 2.2 before the new year or end of December.

But we all know how there release dates go.

That's why I flashed onyx :-)

Sent from my futuristic phone
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Nexus s doesn't run touchwiz or any of T-Mobile. Carrier Apps, so that phone having Ginger really doesn't mean much, tbh. Hey the drivers work? Whoopdy-doo...

I'm assuming Google is smart enough to keep the Android kernel decently backward compatible, so I don't think that is the brunt of the issue (correct me if I'm wrong, though).
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Okay guys, I tried to come up with an idea for Android and I finally came up with one and I'd like to ask what you think of it before I publish to the public. So, I've had a lot of files on my computer in a folder called "Copy later" and I haven't had the time to sit down, connect my phone, and wait for it to sync all the files. I also am aware of many different apps which sync through WiFi but if I travel to places, I don't have the time to wait for it to copy. So, I decided to come up with a solution...Basically, you would turn on your computer, run this super lightweight app which takes your files in a specific folder (or a system folder like "My Documents of My Music") and send it to a remote server. Now, the remote server would wait for your phone to be available (like connected to the internet and to the server) and it will negotiate a connection with it. Once the connection has been built, the remote server will start transferring the files to the phone. When the files have been processed to the phone, the server will delete its "Temp container" and will wait for the computer to tell it to copy more files.

Now, people will also want to backup the contents of their phone and sync up their files. The same process also applies for the phone's data but slightly more efficient. Essentially, you can setup (optionally) some "zones" at which you can sync the corresponding data. For example, when you are at work, you can sync up your contacts and your "Work" folder. When you're at home, it can sync up your music files and maybe your Facebook updates. This is great because it takes in your GPS location and you can set a radius so that if you are within that radius, you can be syncing up some specific folder(s) with your computer. Also, in the event you lose your phone, you would still have the last synced files. This makes your syncing much more efficient.

If you like this idea, I have already started working on it so please tell me if you want to be a beta for it. Right now, it's invite only so post in this thread if you want me to send you a link. I personally think it is useful for me because switching from school to home, to friends' house, it is handy to sync only the stuff I change. Also, Im looking for a name for this app (still haven't thought of one). A good name will get a prize.... :)

UPDATES

-Removed the middle server - Direct pc to android connection

-Encrypted transfers

-Connects through port 4000 so if you have port forwarding done for this, you can connect from anywhere in the world!

-Sends the data encrypted now

Alpha Program 1:

-This simply transfers data from pc to android and establishes a secure connection.

Alpha program 2:

-After long hours of work, I finally got it to transfer the data safely through the web.

-It doesn't send ANY data without encypting it first and this took a while to make but it finally does conversion without much lag.

-Basically, you choose an mp3 from your computer and send it over. Once it completes, it will play on device. Check out the quality...its equal to that on the computer...
[Android Software Development] erismaster:
Sign me up for the beta.
[Android Software Development] OrganizedFellow:
I don't quite understand.

What files would you be syncing?

How is this different than using DropBox, where I already have 2GB of space?

Who controls this 'remote server'?
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
dropbox is different because the files "stay" in the server, but in this the server is only a middle means for data transport. The files are deleted from server once the sync is performed. You can sync whatever you want, like music/videos/data/whatever other folder you choose.

Also, dropbox is basically a "file storage"/backup solution. This just transfers the files from desktop to device and back.
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Alright. I have begun work on this project. Firstly, I have now eliminated the idea of needing a 3rd party remote server. Now, it will connect directly to the phone using wifi networks and direct tcp/ip protocol. However, the difference is that data will be transfered in ssl. This way, it will be very secure.
[Android Software Development] OrganizedFellow:
My interest is piqued now :) I'm liking this alot! Would come in very handy.
[Android Software Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
im down for this!
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Okay. Firstly, I would like to get a beta out today. This beta will simply send a file to and from your device and tell you if it was successful. There is a windows app and an android app which runs on your phone. Both are light but the point is to encrypt/decrypt the data sent.
[Android Software Development] PMGRANDS:
I Like The Idea.... Also, If Your Open To Suggestions, I Think A Few Useful Features Would Be:

If You Had A Optional Folder On Both Your Sdcard, And Also Your Desktop, That Can Be Set To AutoMatically Send From Either End (Sdcard Or Desktop) Or Even Send To Email, Or Wherever Else When Files Are Dropped Into Either Optional Folder!!
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Ok so you're saying it should automatically sync whenever things have been updated right? I think that would be easy enough. Problem now is that the computer has to stay on when you want to sync. Is that okay?
[Android Software Development] PMGRANDS:
Yes That Would Be Ok, But....

What Do You Think Of A Feature (If Possible?) That Can Detect If Its First Destination (Computer) Is Off, & If So More Or Less Have A Secondary Destination, (Email) Maybe?
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Thats great. When it does a handshake, if it fails, it can resort to a secondary target....email? Isn't that too small of a space to store large files?
[Android Software Development] glasslung:
I think you're trying to compete with dropbox by offering a service that doesn't require users to trust dropbox's security. I've looked at what they say about security here:

dropbox.com/help/27 (sorry, forum doesn't let me post actual links)

Reading that makes me feel safe about storing my files there. Then again, if I had data that would put millions of dollars or lives in risk if it got in the wrong hands, I'd want more security.

If you want a successful product, I think you should target it to this latter crowd -- users who take the security of their data very seriously.
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
right. Which is why i decided to eliminate the idea of needing a middle server.
[Android Software Development] Techvir:
Great idea. I was ( just like many others) have been looking for way to sync files over the net with no server in between.

It would be even better if the app in the Phone would auto detect any file chnage and sync with the computer.

Gud luk and let me know u need another tester.
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
ok. an aplha has been posted and this is merely a test to see if my method of transfer works. Please try it and reply here if it works properly. It seriously takes only 60 seconds to test it out.
[Android Software Development] Captainkrtek:
This app looks great! If you need some servers for temp. file storage hit me up via PM.

Keep up the great work :)
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Thanks, but I think I am going to not do the temp file storage thing, as some people are concerned with the security of it. Anyway, I may however make a web based login thing where you can access the files in the computer remotely. This web client will act as if it were mimicking a device. Also, how did the app go? Did the transfer work?
[Android Software Development] androidcues:
Wow...this actually works...

vision
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Great then. I will now make one which transfers a sound file (mp3 of your choice), transfers it, then plays it on the phone.

-Another alpha may come out tomorrow or tonight....
[Android Software Development] Techvir:
looking forward to see more growth here
[Android Software Development] PMGRANDS:
Probably.... If It Was Used As A Primary Location!

*But*

Once Again....

The Email Option Would Basically Just Play The Middle-Man,

*If*

The Send To Email Button Was (Checked-Off) Enabled!!

If Not.... They Could Just Use The Default (Desktop) Location!!

Also A Resend Button Might Come In Handy?

Where Say....

On A Specific Day, Your Computer Happeneds To Be Off, Or Even Down! Something Of That Nature!!

The MiddleMan Feature Could Be Then Applied, And Used To Send To Email!!

For Those Worried About Security Issues, They Could Very Easily Just Leave The Default Setting Enabled!

[Which Would Be Send To Desktop]

And Never Even Use....

That Option!!

Let Me Know What You Think,

About These Other Features??

Which Basically Would Just Be....

**EXTRAS**

(Only Used Upon Preference)

Also.... I'm Willing To Test For You, Whenever If Needed??

Where Did You Post The Beta?

I'll Friend Request You, So We Could Speak Further!!

Thanx Bro, Happy Holidays
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Don't worry. Its just that i've gathered enough data from the alphas that i can make a little ful fledged beta version which syncs files from computer to device.

-Stay tuned. it should some up this week ;)

By the way, if you like this piece of software, please feel free to donate with the link in my sig. Im running low on resources and it would be nice to get in some cash to pay for the time/effort. But, its up to you.
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Update:

I finally managed to get secure "file" transfer working. Not just transfer of text. Now, im working on the automatic syncing stuff. (Good news) :)
[Android Software Development] Techvir:
again same Q,

How is the progress
[Android Software Development] rkrishnan2012:
Ok after like 10 hours of work on it, i got the encryption to be sent and the port to not complain...I had to send the data in little packets. It sends fine and it doesnt take much time. I am also going to let the advanced user control the buffer size. I player safe and made it 1024 bytes per transfer/encryption. If you make it more, based on your internet connection, it should either become much faster or not work at all.

Please tell me if this app works or not....

EDIT:

Alpha 2 is released...tell me how it goes...

-Thank you users...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] frskies:
Why does angry birds lag on this phone? Is that normal? Oh, and merry christmas everyone!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
It is designed for high performance devices. It isn't designed for mdpi devices like our Optimus.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] domenic_s:
There will come a lite version soon. Same levels but optimized for budget-phones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vantruongsinh:
i have same problems with many games :D so not try to play them, uninstall :))
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
The youtube videos i've seen show angry birds running really well, with other games too. Also the 3D benchmarks i've seen show this phone getting about double the performance as a nexus one.

Whats up with that? Maybe the 2.3 fix for the touchscreen problem will make them run well?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] frskies:
But the game isn`t even 3D. Then it must be the physics of the game that is choking the CPU? 600mhz should be enough for that simple game:rolleyes:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joga5000:
Yeah, it's the physics that lag the game. It only lags during the initial setup of the objects and after you hit a bunch of stuff (has to recalculate their position.) It's simply a matter CPU power; not much we can do
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
Also try installing the game on your phone memory. It sped up Angry Birds for me. My memory card is Class 2 so that made it really slow. Phone memory improved it a lot.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nalt:
It's laging when it's loading. If you would give this game few seconds to load levels and etc, you could play it smoothly.

Angry birds is designed for high class Android devices, not for medium class devices like our Optimus One.

The thing that lags is game physics.

If you want to play it without lag, and score many points in the benchmarks, you can install Megatron ROM. It's has many modifications, that allows Optimus One to go further with perfomance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] frskies:
Yeah, been thinking about flashing megatron and some overclocking, that should do the trick
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
This all seems strange since my 2G ipod touch (400 mhz) runs it perfect.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
If you will not touch display during play it will be really smooth. :)

Its know problem with 100% load if you touch display. This problem occurs on more devices with Android OS, but some times it's not so big problem like on OO. Google promised that in Android 2.3 Gingerbread most problems with touchscreen was optimized.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] saf.m:
I tried the lite beta version. It is crashing on intial screen. Hoping they come out with a sstable version very soon.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] imapjonny:
I have set my CPU speed to 768 mhz and i can play AB nearly good. Its laggin for a few second at the beginning of a level but than i can play without lags.

I have enabled JIT and HA too.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] N3mesis:
Thats bull****.

Angry birds runs on my iPodTouch 2G (533mhz) extremely smooth only the Menu lags on it.

On my Optimus One the Menu is VERY smooth no lag at all but playing it laggs ONLY when touching the Screen (shooting a bird) or when it crushes into the wood/stones etc.. ingame.

To me it looks like a Performance Bug in the LG ROM. Also

on my damn iPod Touch 2G, NFS Undercover works very well.

Didnt tried it yet on my Optimus One I also use the stock Firmware.

I compare the Optimus One with my iPod Touch 2G because they are quite similar.

Same resolution nearly the same Processor speed. But of course the iPodTouch 2G is weaker.

On the Hardware side the Optimus One should play all games fairly well. On my ****ty iPod I even played GTA Chinatown Wars.

I hope 2.3 Gingerbread will fix that!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Badassian:
Angry Birds lags especially in the later levels

levels 1 and the more simpler levels are fast but levels such as 1-21 lags cuz there's a lot of blocks and things to position.

But, does anyone know why an Ipod touch 2g with even a lower clocked processor is faster and smoother than our Optimuses?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Mine does lag, but it isn't frequent. Not really a major annoyance for me. Just try killing some background apps you're using (like facebook, but for some reason it respawns).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Compgenius999:
Might be because apps on the ipod/iphone only have to be optimized for a few different CPU's but mostly the same hardware, with android, there's a wide range of devices with different CPU speeds, different graphics chipsets, different ROMs, so it's hard to get it optimized unlike on the iPod/iPhone
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
I also have a 2G ipod touch and these are my thoughts exactly! I don't have my Optimus T yet, it's waiting at the post office for me back at home, but i'm eagerly awaiting gingerbread too!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Badassian:
yah that's true

im annoyed at the lag though
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Badassian:
but still, the htc desire z or something of that nature runs the levels that lags on mine fast and unlaggy
[Optimus One, P500, V General] P500:
the HTC Desire Z has a 800MHz, and the Optimus One 600MHz.

I overclocked mine up to ~820MHz and there haven't been a lot lags left. So it's definetely a CPU thingy.

Also, the iPod/iPad/iPhone App is quite old and quite optimized for the hardware.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nalt:
I'ts not because of optimizations or something. It doesn't lag on iPhone because it has lower graphics and lower quality of physics - iPhone/iPod has Angry Birds Lite on it, that's why it doesn't lag. :) You can install some optimizations on your Optimus One, and then it wouldn't lag anymore. :-)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] JulyDerek:
I play it on my P500. No lag at all.

Maybe you have more apps taking up the CPU cycles?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Time to bump up this old topic.

I'm not a big fan of Angry Birds, but I admit playing it when I get bored. I have also been comparing the smoothness of the game with or without overclock, stock or custom ROM - you know, stuff like that.

It seems that the latest version (1.5.3 at the time I'm writing this) is a huge improvement over the previous versions. The stuttering is greatly reduced, and the game is now actually playable! Only in the levels with big amounts of stone objects it still has those few seconds until it starts to behave properly.

I thought I should mention it, obviously I am bored right now so I'm busting some pig arse.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:
using stock rom v10f and microsd

haven't try play yet,coz just updated to v10f ~

and anyone can teach how to overclock processor ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
It is due to touch screen bug. Where long touch uses more cpu can be fixed with miks kernel. Not just angry birds but all games which require long touch.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pram_xda:
If we close some background applications, it does not lag at all for me at all levels. The background applications are the issue. I hope the new android OS has a better way of application management.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kriistofor:
there is a kernel that can fix touchscreen problem. it lags because of the cpu and the apps in the background, obviously cloaing apps and having overclocked phone with that kernel is the best possible solution both, for angry birds and in general, hope this helps
[Wildfire General] ex4life6pro:
i just got my htc wildfire for 1 day and when i started it for the first time it automaticly asked for update so i did that update and now i'm on 2.2

then at once (don't ask me how) i had a search widget with the voice icon

i was like WOOOOT VOICE!!! but when i clicked it, it brought me to the market and market said that it couldn't be found. so i downloaded the google voice from somewhere, installed it and now when i try to use it it always gives me an error, (in dutch so i'll use google translate to translate it) : Alas! The voice search application (process com.google.android.voicesearch) stopped unexpectedly. try again

or what i get in dutch:

Helaas!

De applicatie Voice Search (proces com.google.android.voicesearch) is onverwachts gestopt. probeer het opnieuw.

so can someone please tell me how to get it to work? :'(
[Wildfire General] georgije:
same thing over here :/

i got my wildifre yesterday update it and got same problem... i didnt try google voice search on 2.1 only after update

There is a shortcut for the home screen. It look like a little house, as I can see it in the icon pack, but where is the actual shortcut to put on my home page? I have looked everywhere in the settings and can't find it. Can someone point me on the right direction please?

Sent from my HTC Incredible «•» Rooted/S-off
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtcarnes:
OK, so I think you're asking about an icon to take you to your homescreen... Correct?

If so, you long press on a blank spot on a homescreen, select launcher actions, move to default desktop. It won't have the little house icon, but it will do the job.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnKuczek:
After you do what jtcarnes says, longpress the new icon, select edit, touch the current image, select ADWThem IconPacks, and the select the house/homeplate icone with the android in it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optimus-Prime:
so i leave on a trip in about 2 days. and i just got a hd2 from t mobile us. its locked as in carrier locked. i have att. i searched round and came across hspl 2 thing that said it would unlock the sim. but it did not. i did get the we hacked it screen but the phone says it is still network locked. can anybody help me get it unlocked before i go crazy. thanks guys
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
sorry, hspl has nothing to do with sim unlocking. it allows you to install custom roms, which are independent of sim lock. sorry if you were misled.

the only options really are - 1- call tmo and see what they can do or 2- google around and pay for service; i remember some threads about the latter option here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
I think T-Mobile's general policy is that they will give you the unlock code if they have record of you having the phone with their service for more than 90 days. But if I was you, I'd try calling them before paying for an unlock code. It won't cost you anything to call, even if they say no they can't help you. And I have heard of people buying unlock codes and then they don't work. So if you do end up having to buy a code, I would say be pretty careful who you are buying it from, read reviews, try and find out their reputation, etc.

Personally I called T-Mobile and they sent me the code in a text about an hour after speaking to a CSR on the phone, and they didn't even ask why I needed it. But I had the phone for more than 90 days too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Optimus-Prime:
i did call tmobile. only problem j have never had an account with them. they asked if i knew anybody who had a tmobile account where they could link the phone too and there for give me the unlock code. only problem to that method is that i live in a AT&T dominated area (we have 3G LOL) and i dont know anybody who could have tmobile. only sprint and att /:
