2) press any contacts that have "g"..

3) delete any multiple contacts..

sorry... Hard to write long sentence cause i'm using my phone..

Hi, I have same problem with my brothers phone. Using Same Daryk 9.2 ROM no issues on my phone but i don't us SMS much.

What is the well known SMS problem. I have been searching for 30 minuites. A link would be nice or even a search term :-)

Edit, More searching and it seems in January a lot of people had an SMS problem where SMS went to the wrong person. Not one said anything about duplicate SMS.

Any further information appreciated

Thanks

While this may not be as important to those who are relying on custom ROMS, I'm curious nonetheless...given the number of hands that Gingerbread has to go through in order for official Android OS updates to be released (ie: HTC Sense UI will need to be updated, then the carriers would have to update too), would you rather HTC be putting more resources into having a fully-functional HTCSense.com?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Hehe gingerbread all the way, but the gingerbread UI is already pretty nice to look at, I'm afraid HTC will mask it with so many tweeks that gingerbread will look the same as froyo :eek:
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Using CM6.1 at present,.... Will probably upgrade to CM7 when we start seeing RCs I think.

...... But in regards to your question,.... I couldn't care either way what HTC do about 2.3 for us, AOSP/CM all the way.

[EVO 4G General] drtdiver83:
I decided to completely wipe my evo. Used format all zip and flashed cm6 and gapps. When I logged into my Google account it automatically restored all my apps paid and free. I thought only paid apps would show in market after a complete wipe. At least I have never had my free apps reappear that way. I expected to have to search and redownload like everytime before. It was a nice surprise.
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
Standard AOSP 2.2. If it eventually bothers you, just skip logging in at the welcome to android screen. (tap the four corners in a clockwise motion or just skip) and sign in through the market unchecking backup data with google.
[EVO 4G General] drtdiver83:
Thanks for the info. What other data is backed up along with apps. Sounds like it could cause some problems if it backs up data u don't want.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donaldanttila:
I am new here & don't know the proper way 2 ask for information , so forgive me if I'm m the wrong place . I installed evil Eris 4.0 or 2.1.0 . I love 2 make ringtones & send or receive picture messages . Before rooting I could send a max of 1200 kbs. Now I'm the settings the max is only 300 kbs . Is there any way 2 get back the 1200 kbs or another Rom that that will & good with my music . I like this Rom but if o can't get any messages over 300 kbs its not what I need
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
There is a evil eris 5.0 beta rom, both have problems with mms( pictsure\sound)mesages

The problem has been worked on and hasnt been fixed 100% yet. There are a number of other 2.1 roms thats probly just what your looking for.
[Droid Eris Android Development] donaldanttila:
I just downloaded 5.0 but haven't installed. Do u have any suggestions
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
yea im still trying to fix this for u guys ,, im working on another test version,, so anyone who wants to test it , hopefully ill have it up soon
[Droid Eris Android Development] donaldanttila:
Idk what is involved in testing because I just learned how 2 root last week but I'm willing 2 try & give u feed back if u give me the download information & thread u want feed back on
[Droid Eris Android Development] lennyjew:
For 2.1 roms, I usually use one of the xtr roms. They're fast and pretty light weight (after the cache2cache that is).

If you like the Sense UI:

If you don't:

And here's if you want a bunch of home options:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=806748

I usually use the last because I like the simplistic nature of the orange home

When I'm on 2.2 I usually use CELB Froyo. And from time to time I jump on 2.3. Those guys are doing wonders on 2.3.

The Eris has a pretty awesome dev community behind it (support the devs by donating if you can btw), so there are plenty of other great ROM's to choose from as well. Those just happen to be the ones that I personally use the most.

Just flash a few, don't bother setting too much up and give yourself an hour or so to get the feel for it before loading up the next one.

Hope you find something that suits you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
basiclly check mms and stuff make sure it works ,, im prolly the only dev who doesnt use his rom lol the eris is a test phone so its not active ,, i do this for u guys
[Droid Eris Android Development] donaldanttila:
First thanks for the help & it really says a lot to me that the dev actually replied & n a speedy manner . Sorry u don't run ur own Rom but thank u from Eris owners who r stuck until their update is available . I don't exactly know the difference n sense UI or the other options u made available but I am going 2 try them . I love this site & the support it gives . Feel free 2 contact me if I can help n any way
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
HERE is another 2.1 ROM that is pretty sweet if you want another option to look at :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] donaldanttila:
Thanks lennyjew for ur time. I downloaded the first one with sense UI, it is super fast & I've been setting up for hours with battery 2 spare .
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
Well it is a sweet rom bro. Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] lennyjew:
No problem. It's a speedy little SOB, but I've just gotten too used to having the current CyanogenMod extras that are in most of the 2.2 ROM's now. All the customization in CM just keep bringing me back to 2.2 each time I try out some of the 2.1 ROM's.

Just create a NAND backup once you get this one set up. That way you can do the needed wipes and flash a new ROM to try out while still having a fully set up on to go back to.

I've usually got a few NAND backups for a few ROMs that I've taken the time to fully set up so I can switch between them. Just backup your texts and call log if you want all your current messages and calls in each ROM

Hello,

I got my HTC Desire two days ago from T-Mobile Germany and installed Theft Aware 2.0 Trial. Looked like a good security app and I was willing to pay the 10EUR, I think it's worth (license bound to IMEI, no monthly costs).

Today when I started the software a popup appeared telling me that there is a promotion from t-mobile giving free licenses for a few days, you just have to enter your mail address. A few seconds later I was looking at the full version and received a mail with the billing details (price: 0.00 Euro :)).

Maybe someone else is interested in this nice app, too :D.

Best regards,

Wolfgang

and on the white part it says usb when its connected with pc and serial when its not!!what can i do now:confused:?i tried also some other roms for topaz which were succefully loaded too but the same thing happens again and again.i would apriaciate some help.

thanx.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlordxxx:
Sorry i didn't get back to you sooner and you added the perfect amount of info :)

ok where to start - firstly have you tried a hard reset after flashing the ROM this isn't always needed but may possibly free something up to make the energy ROM work. You could also try flashing back to a stock ROM from the HTC website and then re-flash the one you want after everything is ok on the stock ROM.

when you say successfully loaded do you mean the screen shows 100% (phone not computer) or does it say complete as it can say 100% on the screen for a little while and not work ? I don't do mine by the PC i use a memory card to flash it and mine always comes up complete when done and then press a key to restart the phone.

failing all of this head back into the hard_spl thread run the spl_relocker in the first post and once relocked flash with hard_spl 1.83 no idea if the newer version is less or more buggy but i use 1.83 and it's smooth sailing.

You could also try flashing from a memory card instead if you have one to hand

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
Although I live in Germany, I prefer to have my Android device set to the UK locale, because searches etc. are easier in my opinion.

Unfortunately I have found no way to change navigation language to German. I changed the output settings of TTS, but this did not change the spoken language.

I also noticed that as long as the system language is set to US the navigation is spoken with american accent instead of clean english in spite of having set the output language to UK.

I would be really thankful for any hack or workaround that could aleviate this problem

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ian_4614:
Hi all..

In june of this year, I will be looking to upgrade, and will be passing my HERO onto my son, and I am seeking peoples views on which Android phone to replace it with. I love the ANDROID operating system, and wanted to know your views on which processors are better than the stock HTC Hero one ? For me I am looking for a smoother processor and faster phone.

Thanks all.

Ian
[Hero, G2 Touch General] petsasj:
Well it's a bit early to discuss about which would be the best Android phone to get in June. That's around the time i plan to replace my Hero as well.

Obviously you're gonna want a Android 3.x device, with a very good processor, possibly 1.5 dual core with a very good GFX and with a good battery that can be upgraded to a better one from Mugen, for example (Desire HD is limited due to sizing, just to name one).

Also from my knowledge, Samsung is producing the best touchscreens, not only for display purposes but for multitouch, as well.

Well, that should be how your phone would be like in 6 months from now, but as i said, its way too early. Just wait and see, test before you buy, and read reviews for upcoming phones!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ian_4614:
Thanks for the reply, will keep an eye on the developments... really looking forward to a new Android phone.... feels like waiting for christmas all over again,, hehehe
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tfn:
It really depends on individual taste I guess, as far as I know these are some of the best which I am considering

Samsung Nexus S - Pure Google Android with the latest Gingerbread and future updates to google software

Motorola Atrix - Due sometime that time with ginger bread and dual core

Lg Optimus 2x - Hopefully this year as well with dual core and gingerbread update coming soon

HTC desire HD - which is around now for a while

Best of Luck :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] captainstu72:
the LG optimus2x is out 21st Feb (judging by expansys)

Personally, I'd say the Galaxy S 2 when it comes out, hopefully will be around the time then.

Wait until MWC to see what should be out, will give you a better idea.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesjr02:
Basically, as the title states I'm looking for options for backing up my SMS and MMS messages.

'My Backup Pro' does a fine job but it doesn't save the time stamps. Once you restore they all show up as new messages basically.

I'm looking for a way to backup, or even better, automatically backup or sync my messages.

(Too bad Google doesn't have a messages sync option like it does with contacts and calendar)

Thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyguitars:
I havent found a way to backup both SMS and MMS together.

SMS Backup & Restore backs up SMS with the TS and you can restore the backup.

I use Handcent to back up MMS.

Does My Backup Pro backup both SMS and MMS? I should try that out later tonight
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesjr02:
Yep, you have the option to backup both. You can also backup apps and data, or either or. I really like the app otherwise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I use an app called backup to gmail. saves all my sms, mms, call logs

real time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicriggs:
you can save the mms and sms seperately onto your sd card. But as for backing them up the only reason the backup is if your trasfering to another phone or flashing roms. If your trasfering to another phone go to a cellphone store and they can back up messages on a maching called cellebrite and trasfers the complete state of the phone to the other. As for just flashing roms i believe titanium backup will back it up, or you can make a nandroid and dig deep in the nandroid and pull up the messages.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Doesn't titanium backup save those?

I've done several backups/restores here of the call log and sms. Time stamps appear to be preserved. I do believe TB requires root access though.
[G Tablet General] Tostino:
So I picked up a g tablet from Office Depot last Thursday, and flashed Vegan 5.1 right away. So far, I love it (other than the viewing angles on the damn screen lol)!

I was wondering what work has been done for overclocking the Tegra 2 though?

I know kernel source is available now, how does that open up the possibilities?

-Adam
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
It's probably possible, I found the code that sets the max clockspeed though it's a bit of a mess to work with and I'm afraid I'll break something if I do.

But... right now, far and away, the CPU is the fastest thing out there in Android land. I can't imagine there's anything actually CPU limited that you'd do on a tablet right now. And there's a second core in there too.

There are some big performance gains to be had in I/O (by moving to ext4 for the /data partition), which I've been working on a bit, and I still think there's driver improvements to be had from NVidia that will make more of a difference than eeking an extra 10% out of the CPU.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MisterKrispy:
I am using the GalaxyS theme with Vegan 5.1 right now and for the most part I really like it, problem is the status icons are horrible. I tried pulling the green icons out of the GreenV2 theme and using ninjamorph to combine them with the GS theme. (I would just flash the GreenV2 theme, but I can't stand all the other green stuff in it) Anyway, whenever I push the framework back in with NM, I go into a bootloop.

Can anyone with experience with this stuff find it in their hearts to combine these two themes and create a flashable zip? All I want are the status icons and I can provide all the files needed since they don;t seem to be readily available on the forum anymore.

I purchased in Singapore a Samsung Tablet P1000

Froyo 2.2

CSC: JJ2

It has built-in swype, version 2.5.45.11222

I have titanium Backup pro and also I have rooted my tab

1.

Is there a way to:

- unistall malaysia, indonesia, vietnam, Korean languages?

2.

Is it possible to

- install italian language?

3.

Is it possible to upgrade to the latest version (with voice recognition and input), which is 2.30? How to do?

Dear BrillDoctor

1. You mean www.swype.com, right? not www.swyps.com (this site is not existing)

2. I have checked: there is NO download area in www.swype.com...

Even if unistall (using Titanium Backup) my swype 2.5 version, I doubt I can download the proper version.

Any other hints?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
You will have to use the swype app that came with your tab.You will not be able do download it from the market, and even if you had a beta version ( like I do) you will not be able to install it because it will not support the screen resolution of the tab. I tried myself and had to reflash the FW in order to get Swype back ( I had deleted the OEM version with titanium backup.
[Galaxy Tab General] pakalrtb:
You will need to flash your tab with a european Rom, my suggestion is to flash JJ4 and then JK5, but do your homework before flashing anything.
[Galaxy Tab General] saulo866:
Thanks Pakalt

My concerns are:

1. The European swype will have many languages, including Italian, But then I would like to install CHINESE (which I do use daily)...so the problem will be:

- how to install new languages on EUROPEAN ROM?

2. can you please feedback whether the EUROPEAN ROM is 2.9 version? (with voice input)?

3. European ROM: can you post me a link to download with instructions?

my phone is rooted, so I guess I can do the upgrade>

4. Why you have unistalled with Titanium Backup? Why not use the "freeze application" function? So you could revert the stock built-in swype...right?

5. Will European ROMS be bootload LOCKED as it is rumored here in Asia?

Thanks for your useful insight!

Btw just realized u have got a different problem than mine.. Anyways, I don't care about not having Italian language installed, as long there's english US or UK..

However, the latest euro firmwares for the GTAB has got boot loader locked, but rotohammer has done a great job by cleaning the bootloader, I dunno what exactly he did though, probs he reverted the new bootloader with the old one.

Although I am not sure if Asian firmwares has got the same locked bootloader, you should ask this on the development section :) .

I do have the "tiny swype" when in landscape mode, but I frankly do not thing it's a problem, I believe that it's even better. The whole concept of swype is to swype across the keyboard, why would you want to swype a longer path when in landscape mode. Sure it's better to have a larger keyboard when you hit single buttons, but then you DO NOT need a swype keyboard for that.

Ok I been able to mount the factoryfs.rfs image of the JMK5 fw and copird the swype.apk into my GTAB now running on JME, and once it was installed the swype keyboard started crashing until I shut it down, and once I turned it back on the old swype keyboard just installed was been replaced with the current new one of JME.

which ROM with Swype 2.10 (Italian and Chinese languages included)

Dear Pakal.

Yes tiny swype (small-size) in landscape mode I also believe is much better than large size! Easier to swype.

I wish to have a try to your ROM which includes swype built-in 2.10 with Italian + US + Chinese Languages.

Can you please confirm:

1. swype is builtin in your ROM. Right? Or did you download later?

2. which one is exactly your ROM? And where to download it?

BTW If bootloader is frozen is NOT a big issue to me, since once I got swype (built-in) I will be quite satisfied.

Thanks a lot!
