hey guys ~ nice to meet you all, i am a totall layman to Android, in China.

my friend from US will bring me a slide but its sim-locked...

after browsing hundreads of threads in the forum

i have a few questions to ask for your kindness~

1. is buying the unlock code on the interenet the only way to unlock the phone?

2. i found a "gfree " for G2 , which i could barely understand. Will it be working on slide?

3. what's the difference between kenal version 29 and 33??

4. can slide use as a wifi hotspot or bluetooth router? which firmfare will do?

thankyou again for your kindness~~ wish you a good mood!:)

[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
Guys,

Another day, another observation. When you plug in the headphones, do you guys hear a hissing/static/white noise for a couple of seconds initially. I am able to reproduce this every time I plug in my headphones (tried three different sets). I am not too bothered by it because the noise dies after 2-3 seconds. I also witness the same behavior when I pause a song.

I guess I am raising the topic here because am not sure if this is common across all WP7 devices (thereby making this a WP7 issue), if it is only my phone, or if it is common across all Venue Pros.

Thanks for any input.
[Venue Pro General] jfellows:
I get the same noise, but mine is constant. Whenever a sound plays, the white noise/hissing in the background comes up and continues for 5-10 seconds after the sound is played and then goes out. Then when another sound happens, it does it again.

It almost makes using headphones unbearable.

I've tried multiple sets of headphones too, it does it on them all.

I think it may have something to do with the curved top of the phone and the fact that the plug doesn't go all the way into the device.

Anybody else have a similar experience?
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
I don't think it's that - if the curved surface was the culprit, the sound wouldn't vanish after a few seconds. It almost seems like a software issue.

Thanks for confirming the behavior!
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
I only hear the hissing sound for a few seconds after plugging it in to the jack...
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
Hearing a hissing on most smartphones is pretty common, in my experience. The better quality earphones you use the more you will notice it. The Nexus One did, the Venue Pro does, my N95 did a bit.
[Venue Pro General] Poopants:
People I've called with the built in headphones/mic say the noise levels are so extreme they are unusable. Hopefully the free Bluetooth headset we're all getting will fix that issue...
[Venue Pro General] linj:
Hello!

This is normal when companies use cheap DACs and amps for sound replication. The DAC turns on when you play sounds, and turns off when there's a period of no sound. If it's a cheap system, there's a noticeable base sound/noise that is added to your signal.

When you have music playing, that, of course, is drowned out by the music. Thus, you won't hear it unless you have really soft music, say, a few bars rest in your classical album or something.

The problem also is more noticeable with low impedance earphones (IEMs, for example).

A possible, easy way to fix this is to use an inline resistor/impedance cable on your headphones, since typically this noise does not vary with volume (in my experience). Then, you bump up the volume on your device... if it's powerful enough to do it. Otherwise, you'll have to inline resistor, a clean-sounding portable amplifier (powered by additional), and then your headphones. It gets pretty bulky...

Alternatively! Separate your music player and your phone. Unfortunately, the DVP has such a nice Zune interface. And still, with cheap music players you can hear the hiss if you're careful. I can hear this on iPods with my earphones still...

Sorry to hear about this! I was hoping that the sound quality would be decent. I might try to get an HD7 instead now...

Cheers!
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Just to let you know, the HD7 does not have the hissing/static that the DVP does. I've tried the HD7, Samsung Focus and DVP and HD7 had the best sound quality in my opinion. The Focus sounds muffled compared to both HD7 and DVP.
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
I've got the same hissing noise on mine, but I think it's an issue with a crappy DAC as it's only there when there is sound. I was hoping to replace my Zune HD but there's no way that's gonna happen with this noise - it's AWFUL!

I'm really thinking about moving to a Samsung Focus. I loved this phone when I first got it, but over time I just uncover more and more I don't like.
[Venue Pro General] alabij:
Very true. Almost every phone I've used has this. It's more noticeable on some phones than others but it's nothing unique to the DVP.
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
Bringing this back to the top, I've observed something on my new model, though I could have sworn the one I sent back for a refund did not have this problem...and it only occurs with earbuds, and not ear phones (I have a big pair of medium to high quality full-size Creative earphones, the buzzing is not audible at all with them.

Since this phone seems reasonably crash-free, I'm reluctant to press Dell for a replacement, especially if, viola, all the DVPs have this problem. Mine seems particularly loud, but that may be a combination of the Zune Premium earbuds I'm using and other factors. As others said, it vanishes briefly if you pause a song (like the sound output is switching off to save electricity or whatever) but resumes immediately. I might be better off just going through various earphones and finding a brand that's of at least the quality of my current earbuds but minimizes the effect.

EDIT: Additionally, lowering the volume simply makes it much more noticeable.

I there an app/way for me to access a work exchange email account and update excel spreadsheets on the run without having to pull out and bootup the laptop?

I am a total newb. I saw an app for working with word /excel/PowerPoint but it did not mention Ms outlook and the gtab was not yet listed in the release notes.

Would pay the 14.99 in a heart beat if I'm sure it will work.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Diesel74:
dataviz documents to go.. works on the G Tab and is easily worth the 15.00, i will say this it does take a bit to navigate it sometimes, but i dont know about outlook ( my company uses an exchange server w web based mail)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] phinphan:
If you run the Vegan Tab Rom the standard email client will access exchange just fine. Documents to go works fine for editing spreadsheets.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] adamczykon:
What remote desktop protocol program are you using? I've been looking for a solution that would allow me to access my work desktop. The company I wok for uses Citrix' Secure Desktop.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] insight3fl:
It is called Remote RDP 301.0

I think there is a newer version
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nighte:
Is it just my phone, or is it after the market had updated itself, apps under "My Apps" are missing?

If it's just me, does anyone know how to fix this issue? I got like maybe 3/4 of my apps there, where did the 1/4 go!? I can still use the apps that aren't on the list though.

Hmmm...
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:
Did you press menu in the market?
[G2 and Desire Z General] hectorinwa:
That happens to me sometimes too. A restart usually fizes it I think. Either that or just waiting. I bet a *#*checkin#*#* would do it too.

I think it's a dropped or broken connection with the market as it's reporting/loading your apps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] renn9420:
Easy fix.. Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and on top press the tab for "All" then scroll down until you see Market. Press it. Then press the tab to Clear Cache then Clear Data. Go Home and then go to the Market. It will ask to Accept the Terms of Service. Once you do and the Market loads go to your apps and you should see all of them.

Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted/GFree'd

Rom: Latest Cyanogen

Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
Yup. This worked for me too when I manually updated to the latest version of the Market app. But then I remembered that I just flashed to a new ROM and didn't restore my apps from Titanium yet and it caused a big mess LOL :D
[Nook Color General] japzone:
I'm having some frustrating problems with my Nook Color. The fact that it pretty much refuses to play Videos annoys me a lot. NO, I'm not talking about conversion problems. I'm talking about the Nook

Not

playing Videos in General. For Example: I go to Mobile Youtube and try to watch a video I get an error(The Picture Attatched). Now I know the Nook Color can play Mobile Youtube because I tested it out on the Store Display Models, but when I try to watch the same video on my NC I get the Attatched Error.

Now take it a step further, I have Nookie Froyo Setup on my MicroSD card and tricked out with everything including Market. Pretty much the only thing I can't get working are Protected Apps from the Market, that and again

Videos

. Videos absolutly refuse to play at all unless I load it within a Flash Player like on youtube, but it doesn't play smoothly in the Flash Player unless I keep the Player small(which hardly compliments my NC's screen).

So does anyone have any idea as to why my NC refuses to play Video?
[Nook Color General] fprice02:
What are you using to play the videos?

What kind of videos are they? (avi, mkv, mp4)

Try Rockplayer, it plays just about everything I can throw at it. I also use arcmedia for the few vidoes that RP can't play.
[Nook Color General] John9Tim:
Thanks, I have try just like what you said.

The videos can worked well on my NC.

I think others have the same problem, so i found a tips about watch videos on Nook Color in the iCamcorder Blog
[Nook Color General] saburai:
More video help

Thanks for the info! I downloaded the foxreal converter, but I can't find or set the optimized format (MP4, H.264, 854×480) that you suggested. Can you offer any help?

BTW My computer skills are marginal at best...

TIA Rich
[Nook Color General] saburai:
BTT I'm hoping that some one can help me out...
[Nook Color General] succulent:
If you have protected app install problem, open Nook Tools and unchecked the Allow Non-Market App and rechecked it. I recommend VitalPlayer from the market. It's free so it has ads but if you use Adfree, you can eliminate the ads.
[Nook Color General] saburai:
Thanks!

I should have mentioned that my nook is not rooted. I just want to convert videos to a format so that I can watch them...
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Actually my problem was this:

UnRooted Stock went to m.youtube.com tried to play a Video got error.

Interrestingly it would start working while at B&N store but stop working when I left. In the end I'm running Nookie Froyo off of MicroSD and can use the Android Youtube or the Youtube App, Haven't looked back. Don't want to touch my stock because I want to keep my NC as clean as Possible just in case it breaks or something. ( And while hoping for a Netflix App when B&N launch their App store)

[Nook Color General] saburai:
Many thanks!

I'm quite the computer cave man, did you find froyo hard to do?
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Not really, although I do recommend having Linux as it will save you alot of trouble. Try Ubuntu as it requires no Partitioning to Install if you use the Windows installer.

The default NF image doesn't come with Market but there's a Gapps Howto on the Dev forums. Also I recommend a Class 6 MicroSD although a Class 4 will work.

If you have any other questions you can PM me.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guttus:
So I want to change the splash screen on my mt4g. I have adb all set up (noob) and have read up on the subject but I have a question. In the cyanogen wiki it says to install the extracted files for the hboot in the "/package-tool" folder in the androidsdk. Yet I only have a "platform-tools" folder and regular "/tools' folder. Which do I use? Then is the command "dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18" correct to flash the image once I save the .img I want to use as hboot-eng.img?

Again Im trying to learn as I go and have read up on this a lot before reaching out and getting the balls to attempt this. It does seem rather easy.

Plus where can I get the proper eng hboot to do this? I got one but not sure if its correct. How do I apply this eng hboot to the phone? Is there a way to backup in case something doesnt work?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
Here is my thread with a bunch of different pre-made splash screens. It contains instructions on flashing, as well as a link to where I learned how to compile them. Also, the engineering Hboot can be found in the Development section under either the Ultimate Permroot Process by Grankin01 or the How To Get s-off and s-on also by Grankin01.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guttus:
Thanks! realized I already had a eng hboot already installed through doing visonary perma root s-off. Guess it came with it. Got the new splash up and running. Thanks for all the help!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
Since I upgraded to Froyo from 2.1, I've noticed the "Logs" section, found when you press the Phone option, then Logs, now shows all texts as well as all call logs in one long list and there doesn't seem to be a way to seperate them.

It used to just show the calls (which I want!).

Is there a way to revert to just "All calls" in this log somehow?

PowerTutor was reporting the Current Widget and Batteryminder as the biggest battery drainers... And after uninstalling them, my battery last longer :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
No, it's milli amps hour = m.A.h

milli amps an hour = m.a/h

OP: When people refer to mAh: they should be referring to the capacity of a battery, as in how much energy it holds.

mA is a measure of current, as in how much energy per time is used by the device (or is charged to the battery). Current widget is indeed the tool to measure this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukey-windy:
Thank you for the quick reply everybody.

I have downloaded and installed "Current Widget" and it's telling that I'm using 270mA when in standby. Is this normal? My phone has been booted for hour and it's already eaten 16% battery.

I am using Darkstone's SuperRAM Froyo. In my battery usage panel it is telling that the display is taking up 79% however it is set to 20% brightness.

Anyone help please?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Enable the logging feature in current widget, then put your phone in standby for a couple of minutes, and then check the log. 270mA is not your standby usage, current widget just hasn't had time to update yet.
[EVO 4G General] pknath19:
I don't know what is wrong with my EVO. Just the other day my notification bar stopped working. I have a fully updated EVO NO ROOT. I just did a factory reset and it did not fix the issue. The notification bar works in landscape mode. Screen seems fine so I don't think that is problem.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
"Stopped working " how?
[EVO 4G General] pknath19:
It won't drag down to view items. I can click the menu button and see all my events when clicking the notifications button but for some reason it is like the top of my screen is not working to drag the bar down. The notifications work just fine I just can pull the window down.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Interesting and you said you're not rooted...

What did you do when this started
[EVO 4G General] pknath19:
No not rooted. My phone was locking up so I pulling the battery out. I noticed it after that. I reset my phone and have done everything I can think of. Screen seems to respond it that area so i'm not sure why it does not work.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
But he did say it works in landscape and has factory reseted. I think the top if your screen is dead and needs to be replaced.
[EVO 4G General] pknath19:
Well I just ran a Screen test and it looks like the touch screen is broke right where the notification bar is. Even when I turn the phone to landscape mode it is broke. It is a perfect line. I can draw everywhere using the touch screen test app in market place.

Hope I get a new EVO and don't have the pay the $100 fee. Seems like a hardware issue to me. Has there been any issues with screens doing this? Can I calibrate my screen?
[EVO 4G General] afazel:
Nope. Sounds like the touch sensor. I had a similar problem, and Sprint replaced the screen for me. If you have TEP, it will be a free repair. If not, you'll be out $35.

They replaced the screen for free. Only took them 30 minutes and they gave me a new screen protector. I love sprint today.

Not a full screen protector though, just the actual square display right? I have a few dead pixels and light leakage.

Hey guys, I'm using the Chucky ROM on my HD2 and running the Froyo (no sense i think) version of android.

I have had the phone for several months. When I first got it, the reception was great in WinMo. I flashed the ROM (Elegencia at the time) and reception was still fine. A few weeks later, I couldn't get any service to speak of at my house (in Elegencia or Android). I tried a different radio - no luck. I flashed the ROM again to Chucky...no luck. I've tried tinkering with the settings for selecting a network...no luck again.

I switched my SIM card to my old blackberry, and I get 1-2 steady bars at my house. However, on my HD2, I can barely get one bar, and if so, it's gone within a few seconds. The reception is often very sporadic elsewhere - one minute I might have 5 3G bars, the next I have no service. It's so bad my calls constantly drop due to the dropped service.

A friend of mine has the same phone, also running Android (with the same Radio last I checked), and he will have a steady 5 bars while I have no service - sitting just feet apart.

Is there anything else I can try before I move on to a different phone? I love running android, but I need to be able to make calls from my house!

Thanks in advance!

I hate to say it, but I don't think we will ever see any emulation programs on WP7 until we are allowed to side load data. I doubt Zune would allow loading of roms therefore the program would be useless. This is also assuming Microsoft lets these programs on the market. The emulation/rom market is mostly piracy and Microsoft likely wants no part of that.
