I'm happy with my phone even though I live in an area with minimal 4G. I'm also on a family plan so my bill isn't as high as it would be if I jumped to a different carrier so I'll stick with my EVO until something better comes along for Sprint.

[Fascinate General] GeoffTK:
I can not figure out how to choose which of the linked contacts takes precedence.

For Example: I have linked my brother "Matt" with his facebook name "Matt xxxxx". I want his name in my contacts to stay Matt, but it goes to Matt xxxxx. Now I have tryed linking his FB name to his contact, still comes out Matt xxxxx. So I do not think it depends which name I link first.

So my question is, how do I choose which linked contact name is the one displayed?

EDIT: Found help in the IRC.

LONG PRESS on the contact

Click on Select Default

Choose the Name

So as cm7 will hopfully be out soon does anyone know if it will be availble on rom manager like cm 6.1.1 and virtous 8.1? Right now you have to some flash cm7 some weird way wich seems a lot harder than rom manger.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
most likely it will be once the stable one is out.

Bacon bits are pre CM rom its way back when they porting CM to G2 they pull some stuff and call it bacon bits, all that comes with bacon bits are all installed on CM rom..
[Nook Color General] bearclaw92:
Okay, so here is the story, I am without the OEM Nook charger (cable) and it seems that no other charger will charge it, I splurged on the Nook in the first place therefore not having the funds to buy another cable. So what I am asking, is, does anyone else know anyway to charge it?
[Nook Color General] tjupille:
I got a generic retractable microUSB cable. Charges fine from a computer (albeit more slowly than with the Nook charger). Interestingly, it charges super-fast when plugged into a powered USB hub.
[Nook Color General] bearclaw92:
You can charge from a computer? How? I have battery stats pulled up and I watch it as I plug it in, It mounts, but no charging
[Nook Color General] dct3416:
It is indeed charging when you have it connected to the computer although the amperage isn't great enough to trigger the Nook into a charging state. Keep it there for an hour or so and you'll notice a difference in the battery level.
[Nook Color General] painter_:
I would turn off the auto mount of storage when charging from a computer. I charge my nook using USB every day at the office.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
No it doesn't, that's a bug. At least if it's what I've seen.... My NC will sometimes to from say 70% to 100% nearly instantly when plugged into the computer. But it doesn't happen every time.. I haven't tried to figure out what makes it happen, but could be related to repeated plugs of the NC to the computer or something, as I was farking around with disabling/enablng automount when I last noticed it happen.

Later it'll start dropping like crazy and recover the "incorrect" charge status back to normal, like 5% drop in seconds several times in an hour is what I have seen it do in the past.
[Nook Color General] bearclaw92:
Okay, so if I leave it plugged into the computer, with auto mounting off, it will charge?
[Nook Color General] painter_:
Mine does, I started the day @ 75% a few hours later it was fully charged.
[Nook Color General] sp1kez:
I had same problem, bought nc used and got wrong cable

Used nook wall chager with wrong cable and got " not charging" but i left it overnight, next day it still showed same amount of battery it had night before so i thought it didny charge.

Went to buy nc charher $25!!! Ouch. Plugged it in and battery percentage went from 10% to 99% in 1 second

My theory is that a regular usb does charge it but the nook wont recognize it, but the battery is charged
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Well, what you describe is not what I've seen.. What I have seen is that it will charge from ANY source, although it does NOT show it on the status bar or in the Settings, but if you watch the charge percentage (I use Battery Snap) you'll see it charging, assuming there isn't much of a load on the NC. As far as I know, it charges at 500mAh unless it has the NC Cable + Charger plugged in.

What I've also seen is that sometimes the charge jumps to 100% for seemingly no reason when plugged into my PC. Doesn't happen all of the time, but it's not charging fast, and it's not a "recognition" thing, it's completely false. If it jumps from 70% to 100%, it's still only 70% charged. It'll "discharge" really fast later, presumably as the system does whatever it does to determine battery charge (battery voltage etc).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidology:
first time poster here :D , ive been reading alot of different info about rooting for the evo as i am new to all of this. I just got my evo this past dec and its not rooted(yet) ,i plan on puting on myn's warm rom but one FAQ/post that particularly bothers me is a quote from the following found at android central

i plan on rooting via this method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

so my question is which rom/roms are compatible?(noticed that myn's is based off of 3.30 so im not sure if i can even use that) or is this info out of date or am i missing some information? , i just want all of my evo's features working, suggestions on roms would be appreciated :)

my evo specs are

Hardware Version: 0004

stock htc kernal

3.70 OTA

HBoot: 2.10

using 64bit win 7 also.

thanks in advance =)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
this info you have quoted is out of date. htc (happily) released the #15 kernel source, which is fully compatible accross the board. myn took a long vacation, so if i were you, i would either flash one of the nightly roms he is making (despite the name, not every night though. maybe 3 times a week at most. my phone is getting sore from lack of flashing) or just wait for the stable release.

btw, welcome to the forums, and hopefully to root. i know a few people that would be happy to help you if you are stuck or having problems rooting. i am one of them. my info is all in my sig. just contact me and i will be happy to help you. even if you want a hand-holding walkthrough (but you seem more independent than that. you read!!!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidology:
thanks for the reply dk. what about the #17 kernel's source?, im leaning torwards flashing a more stable rom, any suggestions for a solid one?, and thanks if i run into any problems i will message you :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
The kernel source for 17 hasn't been released yet that I have heard. For a stable rom I would recommend Myn's TwoPointTwo. The public release of RLS 5 is out tomorrow which will have all of the updated stuff. I might be a little biased as I am a user of Myn's rom, but I could also recommend Fresh to you as well. It all really depends on what you want out of a rom. If you like Htc Sense, then stick to either one of those and I would say Myn's. If you don't like Sense, go with Cyanogen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
If you're trying to flash an out of date rom, go get the #15 kernel from the dev section of this forum. Then all you need is to downgrade your PRI to 1.77 and you'll be able to flash any rom you want.

Enjoy!

I have hardware 0004.

Flash the rom first,

flash the #15 kernel (whichever one you want/like)

flash the PRI downgrade last (you can also find all PRI/radio/etc versions in the dev section)

nandroid first

wipe cache/dalvik between each flash.

Myn's rls5 (which will be released 1/7/11 for everyone), mikfroyo and the stock rom are all compatible with the hardware WITHOUT the PRI downgrade. The #15 kernel is recommended anyway, you might as well get it now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidology:
what are the differences between #15 and #17?

leaning torwards myn's. not even rooted yet haha

i will see what happens in the next few days and report back(in the middle of moving), thanks for the info so far:)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
I would also suggest virus roms. He makes amazing roms. As long as you have kernel 15, you should be able to flash any rom , I believe (anyone feel free to correct me). I dunno, I guess, I try to keep up with the new releases, I don't have hw 0004, but I know others who do who also run virus roms (I suppose it's just a matter of the kernel). Listen to others more than me ;)

But welcome.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 857253:
Hi there,

I have too a 004 Evo with the 2.10 hboot, and I rooted it with that method u posted and am currently running Myn's RLS4 with the latests radio, nv and wimax BUT with the pri at 1.77 and using netarchy's 4.2.3 kernel without any problems whatsoever, so from my pov you're good to go...

And fwiw, I am using latest RA's....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidology:
Just have one more question,do I need to flash updated radios our can I just leave them?

I'm not really sure what the benefits of updated ones are..I've read some scary stuff after people flashing radios, in combo at least
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
ok, first of all, kernel 15 is newer than 17 for some wird reaosn. 15 was just released on the 3.70 ota. sidology, the updated radios are just the newest released. all root methods besides unrevoked downgrade you waaaay back (to the first software release i think?) in order to exploit the phone. this is why you need to upgrade your radios back. myns 5 is out now, so you have no worries anymore. just root, and flash!

i may not be available to helping you root (i need to train some rats this week :( homework sucks) but i am free tomorrow and most weekends and will do all i can.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sidology:
thanks for clearing that up =S, i thought 17 was newer lol. i havent rooted just yet, trying to gather info as i go , i still plan on using the 2.02/2.10 guide in my OP and just re flashing sprint lovers with the radio combo since im not sure if the one in the guide uses that one, then flash to myn's L5

just a side thought: i dont see many posts about people using unrevoked 3.3 much, if it doesnt downgrade radios shouldnt it be easier?

EDIT: just read that unrevoked is an easier method at bricking some peoples phones ,so nevermind lol

anyway thanks alot for the replys and info, its very much appreciated :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
unrevoked can sometimes brick people, or just corrupt your radio. if you dont mind wiping, then root manually. much safer, and you get to figure out how to actually so some stuff.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Remember that fix I told you about that I was trying to accomplish today? Well I started it and it messed up my entire status bar and notification window. I have the GB battery with froyo icons, and GB notifications. The status bar isn't fully black but it's not transparent you can't see through it at all no matter how bright the wallpaper is. The notification window is all black which I also want to be transparent. It's like I did the complete opposite of turning it transparent and made it like a blackout theme lol which I didn't want to do. I'm going to put the notification bar toggles in there and send you the framework-res.apk in a couple minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistertensai:
alright shouldn't be too hard for me to fix this
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Here Is The Framework-res.apk

I also removed all GB from the rom because it was having to many problems to find out where the error is so everything is pretty much stock. Only thing included is 4in1 reboot, 4x5 workspace and appdraw, I was putting the hotspot hack in but I don't think it worked out but I should be able to fix that.

Edit removed old framework
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Here is my new framework I haven't found any problems with this one. It has a 4x5 workspace, app draw, 4 in 1 reboot, power widgets in the notifications, and sprint hotspot hack. Next i want to change the dock from stock to GB, then after that work on the status bar.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] retigi:
I had extended the compass sample in the SDK to include the gyroscope. However, as I do not have a Nexus S, I was not able to try it at all.

Would anyone please check that the attached apk works properly in the nexus S for me.

It is a very simple application which does not read/write anything to the phone (just listens to sensors and plots a cube to the screen according to your orientation).

The compass part works properly (i checked it on my phone). I wonder whether it works or not when you toggle to gyroscope by clicking the toggle button on the screen.

I do appreciate any help.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
who has balls to test this?

I sure dont

EDIT:

This guy below me does
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] unremarked:
Installs and gyro works fine while in landscape/portrait

But if you switch portait to landscape or landscape to portrait, it resets to the accelerometer.

I never realized how twitchy our accelerometer was. The gyroscope is amazing stable in comparison.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] retigi:
Thank you my friend.

You can't imagine how grateful I am.

Thank you very much.

PS: Thanks to your note, I realized that I forgot to disable the orientation in the manifest. (I had disabled it from the settings in my phone. That is why, I could not notice that).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chadrockey:
Why does your app want to access Storage and Phone calls?

Also, do you mind trying to test the rotation vector sensor? I tried to do so, but it seems to lock up and turn into NaNs...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] unremarked:
Sure thing, let me know if I can be of any further help to ya.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] alitech:
I found this video today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JQz7EOHAwE

I would like to know what these guys are using to test the gyro on the NS.. Actually I am not sure this app is actually testing the app or the compass / accelorometer.

any ideas?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sinatosk:
Works fine here. When changing the orientation. It resets back to ac c + compass.

Gyro so much smoother

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mohitrb1:
as everyone mentioned, its working well on Nexus S!

the gyro working is very fluid! if possible, can you please share the source code? i am mostly interested in how you filtered (low pass filter, kalman filter,etc?) the gyro data and how you mapped the gyro reading to the rotation of the cube? did you use the raw gyro data, or any of the other android function like getRotationMatrix(), get AngleChange(), etc.?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob15:
hey guys my i9000M sd died and am getting it replaced so far i have not done anything to it.

When i get my new replacement i was wondering if i should root it and put a ROM on such as Darky's V8.0 ROM

My only worry is the SD dying again on my and am screwed. Is there anyway bell would know my phone has had the ROM on and root if the SD card itself is corrupt?

Is the boot animation changed also because i think that would be something to hint i messed with the stock ROM (specifically for darky's because it looks awesome).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Read all the positive and negative posts bugs etc before you flash any rom .

Having a non standard rom invalidates your warranty .

It will all depend upon the Techie that picks the phone up to enter a report what they look at etc . Probably test to see if SD card is faulty that may entail booting up by some means .

Hi Firends,

I updated the HTC Wildfire to 2.2 OTA update but ever since it has been updated the is a lot of lag in the phone. It is irritating. Menus work slower, messaging takes ages etc etc etc.

Does any1 know the reason and the fix to the problem? and also does any1 else have a similar problem or have i just made some error in updating????

Thanks
[Wildfire General] hbm2679:
Factory reset

I had this problem too. After factory reset its a lot better but still slow sometimes
[Wildfire General] naveenbhatia:
Hi,

I am facing same problem with my HTC Wildfire after the upgrade. Just one question.. when i do the factory reset all the contacts and messages will be erased. I don't want to loose all the messages and contacts. I have done the contacts backup in the card but i have no idea about the messages. Is there any way through which i can do the same?? Also I've not tried restoring the backup of contacts from card. Does that work??

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

naveen
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
If for Contacts, you are referring to the Import / Export Option under the Contacts App, then yes, Restoring works. I have done that numerous times, after flashing new ROM's, and it has worked (Import Contacts from SD Card) perfectly everytime.

For backing up SMS'es, there's an SMS Backup that's posted somewhere in this forum (HTC Wildfire General Discussions or HTC Wildfire Themes and Apps), Just look around a bit. Don't know whether it works or not since I have never had a need to use it.
[Wildfire General] Android38:
Hi,

I haven received any froyo update so i just wonder why froyo 2.2 will bring wildfire to slower?

Froyo 2.2 suppose is faster version than 2.1 right?

Anyone have experience of faster speed for your phone after froyo 2.2 update?
[Wildfire General] stuffynet:
No.

Same here. 2.1 was a lot faster then 2.2. At least for my phone. With 2.2 it lags in menu scrolling, in loading widgets, it freezes during calls. :(

And yes, I did a factory reset. (but I didn't format my sdcard).

By the way. Did anyone got the screen black after a call? Can it be the sensor? Because the screen should come back on after you take it away from the ear. After many calls mine didn't. :confused:
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
2.2 should be faster, but, with the OTA, JIT, the main reason as to why Froyo is faster, is switched off. So, essentially, theres no difference between 2.1 and 2.2 (official ones), except for the addition to Froyo Apps2SD and WiFi tethering.

For your slowness, try formatting your SD Card as well. Start everything from scratch. It should help somewhat. As for the Proximity sensor, I have no idea.
[Wildfire General] stuffynet:
Well I'ved made some time and started from scratch. Indeed it does make a difference. I runs much smother now.

THX;)
[Wildfire General] naveenbhatia:
Restoring Factory Settings not solving the problem. Is there anything else that i can do to make my wildfire fast.. It's almost crying while opening messages and scrolling menu. :(
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Reset Factory Settings and Format SD Card, both, together, and, start afresh. Just read the post above yours.
[Wildfire General] naveenbhatia:
I tried factory reset but it didn't work. Will try Formatting SD card as well today.
[Wildfire General] kennyhkw:
Since i updated to a custom FROYO ROM i have been experiencing lag issues as well. This was even after a total clean install.

TBH i think Android is crap now and is still Beta software at best.

For example, when i'm texting the spell check and auto-capitalisation usually fails when u try to type even remotely fast, end up with words that have 3 capital letters because the software can't switch to lower case in time and sometimes the spell check ignores the first letter of words etc.

We'll just have to put up with the lag or go back to 2.1.

Smartphones should really be renamed Dumbphones as they make crap phones and also crapp computers, bit stuck in the middle of nowhere really.

Sounds like i've been ranting! lol
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Perform both simultaneously. Start again from scratch as it is when you unbox a phone for the first time, after any major updates like an OS update.
[Wildfire General] moochermick:
I noticed lag after update to 2.2 and found that all the icons on all panels had been loaded twice.

If i dragged an icon to remove it there was the same icon underneath.

I cleared the panels and started again, now my device is fast again.
[Wildfire General] naveenbhatia:
Tried the above.. no use :( still my wildfire lags... :(
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
are you guys running an app killer with froyo? if so uninstall that could be making phone lag and chew battery:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] xThe Enforcer:
So, I've had a few friends send me, "media" whether it be a picture or sound/ringtone. Why does it say, "get media now"? When I click it, it makes a sound and doesn't do a thing. And I don't see how to save it any other way via the inbox or text itself.

Help?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Your MMS messages should automatically download, I get that message when I'm on the phone, or if I don't have enough signal, but clicking on the link should download whatever was included in the message... Does Samsung have a way to set your connection settings the way HTC does? If it does, I'd recommend running the app...
[Windows Phone 7 General] xThe Enforcer:
Not that it matters but it was never fixed. Even AT&T couldn't figure it out.

Samsung Captivate rooted with a custom ROM definitely makes the Focus look like a baby. I loved it but I think it'll take Windows a few months to attempt to play catch up to Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
Just to balance this out in case anyone lets this sway their decision, I had two android phones I could never get MMS to work on. WP7 is the first that's worked for me
[Windows Phone 7 General] xThe Enforcer:
I guess it's luck of the draw...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
so your solution for mms is to have to root your android phone and install a custom ROM on it? Just for mms?

What type of files were they sending? I haven't had any problems with mp3, pics, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
Yeah exactly. I wasn't having a go at you, it's just that a lot of users come here to make up their minds regarding purchase of WP7 and I don't think MMS failure is a widespread issue. Just wanted to balance it out.
