Yeah if you wanted to grab the new OTA on the 26ish (lol) you would have to odin back to DI18 then grab the update.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
You can ota on rooted dl18
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
You get OTA's while rooted.. but if you've modified anything else you won't get the update.

So in order to get the OTA you will need to odin back to di18
[Epic 4G General] Neptune5k:
You wont be able to get the OTA, but I would recommend just waiting a couple hours after the first OTAs get pushed and there will be few a pre-rooted, CW-redirected basically stock builds pushed out by the developers. Then you can just flash those, and they will be basically stock but have the root goodness and you wont have to go backwards just to go forwards. When the "official unofficial DK28" dropped, it was only a couple hours before devs had them out the door.
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
Dont worry about the ota ,wait until its rooted and cooked up for us it will be very quickly after it is released. Besides the ota inst coming Sunday anyway. we may see it sooner who knows.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
That's not true. You can as long as you don't remove any sprint apps or flash a custom rom. Rooting does nothing but given what is essentially administrator (aka superuser) privelges. You will lose root once the ota hits, but I won't do anything to harm your device. However, it will with stck apps removed.

To answer the ops question though:

Download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps and data. Odin back to di18 and then use the same oneclickroot (assuming you got it from the sticky in development) to get root and reinstall titanium (it requires root). Run a Batch reinstall of all missing apps and data. Bingo. You'll have everything back to normal on di18. :-)

[Vibrant General] thebluecoat:
I've wondered how cool / painless it would be to mod the samsung vibrant.

Since the back plastic is easily replaceable, and you get two per box it wouldn't hurt to try this out.

What I was thinking of was cutting out a large rectangle off the back, and replacing it with clear acrylic plastic to showcase the guts of the phone, which I think is a neat to me.

However, I was going to take it to the next level and try to pop a colored led light in there. My question is, do they make them that thin?

I was just going to wire it between the battery connectors. Anyone have any idea on where to look for something like this?

Ive also been looking at colored films to place over my soft keys to make them different colors.

Anybody wanna get together with me on this?

So far

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

http://www.theledlight.com/3mmleds.html (i dont think they make anything thinner and my phone might look a little robo)
[Vibrant General] down8:
If you're OK with diffused light, you can always grind the LED a bit flatter.

[Vibrant General] kboater:
sounds like a cool idea. others may know much better then me, but im not sure you should tap into the power supply for the phone. although an led barely draws much power, im dont think i would tap into the existing battery and connections.

maybe use a really small round battery to power it seperately?

just my thoughts as it sounds like a really cool idea. keep us updated on how it goes.

ps: that is just my opinion, taping into the existing power might be fine? just my thoughts

parts update

Okay everyone I bought some nice little parts at my local radioshack (thought they gave up on being an actual parts place, but i guess not) spent about 7 dollars for a variet of leds.

Some with built in transistors, some different sizes, etc.

Some questions, what is the point of a transistor between the led and the power source? What do I risk damaging?

I pretty much bootlegged the led straight in between the battery and the phone and it works, phone boots things work okay, only thing I notice is a SLIGHT dimming of the ledwhen my screen goes on (figure its because of the current draw).

Next step is to pick up clear plexi glass, perhaps some sandpaper to edge it down really fine. just need to think of what I can use to cut it clean
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Ever since I started playing with the leaked Froyo builds I noticed that my 3G and 4G speeds were incredibly slow (never going over 100Kbps on uploads or downloads). After flashing back and forth 4G started working better but 3G was still disgraceful.

No matter which how many times I used Odin to go back and forth between DI18 and DK28 I kept getting the same results. So a few days ago I decided to flash the oldest DG27 build and use OTA updates to go back to DI18. Well I think that fixed everything because now 3G works perfectly.

Same thing happened to me with the accelerometer and compass. I used the /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha command to reset the sensors and now the phone is back to perfection.

I'm just typing this up because I've seen people complaining about problems like this every once in a while. Hope this helps anyone out.

Is there any app out there that will back up ure paid apps? I know there is My backup Pro, but it wont back up paid apps :/. Plus im not rooted, is it cause u ahve 2 be rooted r is there any way to back them up without rooting? Plz let me know, appreciate it n thnks 4 ure time.
[Android Apps and Games] edwinlinkt:
Try Astra File Manager... It has a App backup tool

Note: Some apps cannot be backup without root
[Android Apps and Games] AdrianK:
Protected (AKA Most paid apps) reside in /data/app-private, which you can't access - yes, even read - without root permissions.

I'm not sure about Froyo's A2SD though...
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
Without root, the short answer is no.

If You Want To Back Paid Apps, Install A App Called NinjaMorph Then Just Go To System/Data The Press Copy! Takes The Protection Right Off Of It!! Lol!!

But Like Namuna Said, Without Root, You Probably Can't!!

If you associate a new Android phone with the same Google account the apps were purchased with, you can still download them without purchasing again. I'm on my 4th phone and still using apps I bought when I was using a G1.

[EVO 4G General] craigbailey1986:
I didn't see this any where so I just wanted to share my experience with the evo hardware 003 camera.

To be quite frank the camera sucks, whether its sense or aosp! I have searched around for months now looking for anyone who would or could tweak our camera software (the hardware is there) with no luck. Our camera should perform if not better but on par with the iPhone4, in specs.

It seems as if the HTC team dropped the ball and the coding for it is a feat to be reckoned with.

Conclusion: I have tried almost all the camera apps in the market and none seem to do any justice except for vignette camera app (paid app). This may only be for my phone but I wanted to give some light for others who may have noticed the down side of our beloved evo...

Happy holidays and I hope this app can help you take better pics for the holidays and I will post pics after the holidays of the difference between stock and the app...

BE BLESSED!
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Deja vu, I could have sworn I read a post just like this last week. I came to the conclusion that all HTC cameras suck compared to slimilar phones. If talking pics with your phone is a big deal, get a Samsung. IMO Sams have the best cameras. Luckily I have a separate camera for serious photography, but most of the time im satisfied with the EVO camera, I know what to expect.

maybe someone can help me here with regards to transferring files via bluetooth.

i'm trying to send a 300KB picture but it seems that more than 5 mins, it's still transferring the file. nothing's being transferred.

at first i thought it was the software (Bluesoleil v6) but i am able to transfer files from my other phone (samsung e590) to the pc without any problem.

i've tried (1) turning off/on the BT of my phone, (2) switching off/on the phone, (3) turning on/off the BT software, (4) reinstalling the software but nothing seems to work.

is the generic BT software in Android 2.1 has issue with regards to sending files? is there a way to fix it aside from downloading an app in the Market?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nozerogravity:
After updating to 2.1 in November I had exactly the same problem.

Ended up with deleting the 'Bluetooth.apk' from system/app, and installing 'Bluetooth File Transfer' from Medieval Software (free on the market). Now I don't even think of such kind of bugs with BT, tho I'm still curious why stock app failed... Sorry, but no clue.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
i have windows 7 and mac os...

on snow leopard, no problem whatsoever transferring and browsing files on my mini pro...:)

on windows 7 however, half of the time, transfer fails.:rolleyes:

whenever it does, i delete the pairing on my phone and pair it again from the phone...then i try again...usually after a few tries, it works.:p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] donetus:
^^ that doesn't work for me though .. :( but the 'Bluetooth File Transfer' from the Market works.

i decided to repair the software again and this time the native BT of Eclair not works without any problem.

not sure though what caused the problem even though i re-did the steps that I did after updating to 2.1

Hi

I am the user using Galaxy S.

I am finding the best browser app. My first priority to select browser app is SPEED.

Which browser app do you think is the best for Andriod device?
[Android Apps and Games] norti:
The built-in Android browser :) I'm using Dolphin Mini now, it's fast too.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Stock browser simple anf fast
[Android Apps and Games] vecc:
"Miren browser" without a doubt.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/miren-browser/cn.miren.browser
[Android Apps and Games] jpbl1976:
X-Scope is pretty good. I like it best among the alternatives to the stock browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Private-Cowboy:
Definitely miren.
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
I've tried:

- Skyfire

- Opera Mini (though not Mobile, yet)

- Dolphine HD and Mini

- Xscope

I was going to suggest Xscope, as of v6.3 they've really streamlined the interface and sped up the browsing.

...But after seeing folks suggest Miren, I loaded it up and I must admit I am impressed! So far this app has some really nice polish and it is definitely FAST.

Alright, Miren is now my default browser. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dany0:
Xscope is so fast. But it started to save too much junk, resulting in fcs and terrible loading times. The UI is really dissapointing, though first user experience is really surprising.

So far I went back to miren. It's just as fast as safari, but the UI is so good in the end you get work done minutes earlier :) It's really compatible.(I mean, all the webpages have rendered properly so far) Though still quite uncompeteable with the stock one. Still use it sometimes.

For tablets opera or xscope. xScope gives you really chromish experience and it's fast, opera has become much better, and remember when surfing on mobile network, definetly the way to go.

Though miren has a mobile network saving feature too, it's quite failish(dunno the current version though) and just not as good as opera's. Dunno about tablet experience, though must be close to firefox/opera desktop experience.

EDIT:

And forget about skyfire and dolphin, they're just SO bad.
[Android Apps and Games] clumsyclownz:
i will go for miren.....!!

you should try it..... :)
[Android Apps and Games] elvis56:
I also suggest miren but on my desire i have to kill the miren process manually or it drains the battery(this happened after a recent miren update).
[Android Apps and Games] theGanymedes:
Dolphin HD

I've tried various Browsers with my HTC Desire : Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, Xfire, Xscope, Dolphin (stock one), Dolphin HD, Miren... Yet, I still couldn't fine all-in-one browser!

Each browser has it's own problems: Miren, Dolphin and Dolphin HD (since all using WebKit, I presume) doesn't allow redirecting streams in browsing - which means, you cannot download PDF file if it's read through a PHP stream (you know, like in pages "*****.com/somefile.php?getid=xxxx" kind of pages - I noticed it when I tried to download a PDF file of my next project in my course web page)! Also, they don't allow HTTPS redirecting - say "secure connection couldn't established" - but I think it's Android related problem...

Opera does all these, but it's flash support is missing! Also, it makes render faults in some pages - It did for my bank's "web banking" page, for instance (perhaps due to some flash content). However, due to its own engine, it allows HTTPS redirecting and PHP stream-downloads.

Among those all, only Miren did correct pinch-to-zoom action though.. Text flawing makes unwanted scrolls in all browsers but this one - kinda surprised me, I must admit.

I now use Dolphin HD because Gestures are quite handy and I saw so small speed difference between Miren and this one (please note that Desire is fast device, this difference may be seen more in slower devices). Also, I've seen no browser (including Miren) but Dolphin HD rendering the flash content correctly - while using Miren, in my bank's web interface, flash content was flowing on top of browser interface, for instance!

So, instead of picking one, you'll most probably pick two - one will be dolphin Hd, miren or Dolphin and the other one is Opera - since you will, from time to time, have to use the other browser to open a page..
[Android Apps and Games] TheSonicEmerald:
Dolphin Mini was small, fast, and efficient. Opera Mobile, with its somewhat hardware acceleration codecs, was as smooth as an IPhone browser on my Fascinate. But right now the stock browser has been good so far.

[Android Apps and Games] theGanymedes:
Try holding the back button or quiting the application with the Menu->Exit Application option. I've checked with Task Manager that it really terminates (Dj Droid v2.0 rom)
[Android Apps and Games] bjcolema:
Agreed! I have tried them all except Dolphin Lite.
[Android Apps and Games] BanziBaby:
Have tried most of the browsers out there

Stock is ok, glad they brought in instant back in 2.2 so it didn't reload page everytime you went back , in 2.2.1 it seems slower though & is not as quick at going back

Miren I really liked first version but seems to get buggier with new versions, little things like the speed dial links on homepage not staying in order they were added, now each added one always goes first until new one is added etc, just tried 1.1 version but that won't go full screen now despite being set too, page movement is slower, some rendering glitches.

Dolphin always seemed slow doing anything, even the interface is slow, also tried mini version but that always had some page/link rendering issues like clicking links on bbc news page always selected above the link for some reason, stock does that at times too.

Firefox had high hopes for this one as it main desktop browser but I sad to see the betas, each one is worse & slower, hardly any options, all the good extensions don't work well, page zoom is pathetic as is text size & text reflow, I hope its not going final anytime soon as it needs a lot of work.

Opera mini & mobile are good, quick & fast, needs more options though, some page rendering issues but no worse than others, can't wait for flash & hardware acceleration to be activated, really liking opera 11 on the desktop.

Best one I have found so far is xscope 6, this is one fast clean looking browser love the dark glass theme, the pin zoom feature is great & I prefer the double tap zoom/reflow, instant back & did I say fast.
[Android Apps and Games] Dany0:
he's apparently not using MIUI.

That's a port problem apparently(yeah I wrote that word again, so what? grammar nazis...). Either way I use the default browser for this kind of problems. He always comes in handy ;) And I'd suggest you to go back to miren, because it gets updated a lot and kinda gets a feature every few times... You know? :D

I think it sorts this by frequency of use. Also try panorama mode on/off.

It saves a lot of junk. I thought the same... I'll just reccomend you one thing: once a week delete xscope's cache. Or it'll get even slower. And disable the theme, it slows down as well =/

Chrome, sadly only for the google tv. I don't doubt we will get it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] duke911:
I mainly use the default browser... it is fast enough for my needs, and gets the job done.

I have been an Opera Mini user for a long time, ever since it was released for windows mobile few years ago. It is for sure fast, but there are some issues with the rendering. some pages look weird, but if you use it for casual browsing, I guess you will be very satisfied.

I tried Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile, but I can't say I really liked them, too many options for a mobile browser, and both felt slow.

I rarely use the browser now. I used to check news and blogs, but I recently found out that Pulse reader is available for Android. I've been using it on my iPad for a while, and it sure made things much easier now it is available for my phone. It does not run as smoothly as its iPad counterpart, but it is good enough. I also use WiKidroid to check Wikipedia.. So unless I am searching for something on Google, I don't open the browser that much...

I guess I have to try Miren, everyone seems to recommend that one :)
[Android Apps and Games] killer_metallica:
I use Dolphin HD.

I've tried them all and it's the best for me without any doubt.
[Android Apps and Games] theGanymedes:
Neither do I! Holding back button is a feature of Dolphin HD..

It's a complicated problem, related to the authentication in Android - Webkit. Until it's upgraded, there is not much to do. Default browser (aka Dolphin), Miren, Dolphin HD... All browsers demonstrate this problem - since all is WebKit based.

And also, Xscope is quite laggish I think. People call Dolphin HD slow and using Xscope? Are you insane, really? :)
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Another one for Miren. It just inches out over X-Scope which became pretty crappy recently. The old one is the most comfortable for me personally, but it's lacking in the features department and just doesn't cut it now that I'm on Froyo (was using Xperia X10 for what felt like an eternity and it finally got Eclaire).
