[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] petsasj:
Okay, so I've been curious for quite some while.

Using Vanilla Android over Sense has lead to quite a few losses in the way. One of which is the one i am about to refer to.

When I bought my Hero i was amazed with its feature to change the incoming call volume just by movement. Of course, this is a Sense feature and therefore not included in 2.2 Froyo Vanilla. Has anyone found an application doing that?

It would be awesome if we could.

ps. Also, has anyone found a good replacement for the Sense/LauncherPro Full Screen calendar? I am using ADW Launcher EX. Mind you I am using a lower density screen so apps like pure calendar widget don't scale good enough, let alone they look ugly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloneboyZA:
Hi all,

My phone is experiencing the "Stuck in Car Mode" problem. Now due to circumstances, I'm not able to send it in for repairs at the current time. I've used BSB tweaks to handle the autorotation, but my only remaining concern is the speakerphone that automatically turns on when making or receiving calls. Is there any way of disabling the speakerphone completely? Maybe in the registry? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

David

Ironically, I can't activate the speakerphone during calls on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] leonveliki:
Can someone please tell me, what would be the worst case scenario if I use extended battery from an ebay seller from china?

OK, I know it can blow up. But beside that. What else can go wrong?

I am using HTC Desire HD, which we all know the battery if just a pice of garbage. I have bought a pack of item for HD and there were also two 1500mAh batteries included.

If I use the external battery charger and leave it to charge over night and it does not blow up, does that mean, that the battery wold do just fine in the phone?

I presume mAh does not have any effect on the phone itself? Or does it?

What would happen with battery stats? How would that behave if I swap the batteries. When one depletes I change it for a full one and so on?

Any other battery issues I should be aware of?

I saw some posts about not using RA Recovery 1.8 on unrevoked 3.3, is v2.1.1 safe to use? I don't want to mess my recovery up or lose root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
yes, it is fine and probably the better of the two imho

What is the best Calendar App and/or Widget for google calendars?

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
If you're looking for a home screen widget I like Android Agenda Widget. I can add Custom(My Calendar), Gmail, US Holidays, or Email Account calendars. Plus it comes with different options for the sizes (2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 3x1, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4) and you can customize the look of it. I have my launcher set with 3 screens and the widget set at 4x4 with no top or bottom toolbars on a side screen so I can scroll over and look at the calendar and then scroll back to my home screen. Fills the screen nicely.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] uhmump95:
I like CalWidget myself.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AdoptedDeV:
I like smooth calendar widget, it's real simple/plain.

This is a review of the Sony Ericsson Live view and the Desire HD

Ordered about a month ago from Play.com for £40 but due to the holiday period I received it yesterday!

Upon first impressions the device has some impressive ideas behind it, watch sized display receiving a bunch of notifications from the phone, 4 capacitive buttons for the directions and 2 hardware keys, interchangeable carry devices, plugins and a phone finding feature.

Here are some size comparisons to the Desire HD

Front on

Side on

Straight out of the box the unit wasn't behaving nicely, I paired it and used the LiveView application to connect. I may have slipped up by already having the application and a bunch of plugins installed in anticipation and by not charging the unit. After a charge and reinstalling the application it started behaving. After playing for a bit I found that only 6 plugins can be installed at one time and that it's best to restart the unit after installing a plugin. It froze my phone otherwise.

Luckily those were the only troubles I had, now the LiveView is working great. There are several nifty plugins for example this calendar app that shows a full month and an agenda view too!

Now out of the box the liveview doesn't support HTC music but vith the poweramp controller plugin the controls and even song information and album art!

Out of the box the unit supports facebook, twitter, rss feeds, texts, and missed calls.

Other plugins on the market include Glob which shows your speed and traffic camera warnings with the app on the phone, Sportypal, Moon Phase, Weather, Location, Contact call, Ringer mode, Gmail, Launcher, Watch and shopping list.

Other great things about the device are that the wrist strap mount has 20mm watch pins so the strap can actually be changed. I've ordered a fossil strap for mine

http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/32/build_a_watch/mens/fsscbuildawatchmensstraps/eagle_strap-jr9193p.html?departmentCategoryId=201001&N=32&Va=53&Ns=p_ms0|0||p_weight|0&rec=23&pn=c&imagePath=JR9193

Coming from amazon germany, should be interesting.

The unit also vibrates if you set it too gently alerting the user to notifications.

for this price I couldn't say no and I am happy with my purchase.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Excellent! I'm getting one for my birthday in 11 days, so this has made me feel a lot better about it! And with the apparent software update that is coming soon from SE this should be kick ass!

Thank you for your review - especially the pictures!
[Desire HD Accessories] THE MACHINE:
Great review!

I´m glad it´s working on DHD.
[Desire HD Accessories] DN41:
thanks for that ;)

i think this is the most usable accessoir ;)

what about power comsumption with bt on?

DN41
[Desire HD Accessories] audiobookman:
i actually have a different take on this awlful device.

i was impressed with the specs, but in the real world found it serverly lacking.

it would constantly lose connection, and then would freeze the phone up. only a restart would solve it.

i wish i had waited to see what other had said before buying, sony have released a beta product thats no where near ready for the open market - they are not forth coming with any firmware updates either, and sadly enough that is what is needed to sort out the problems everyone seems to have with the bluetooth radio on the device.
[Desire HD Accessories] ElmarK:
I have the LV since 4 weeks with my DHD. All the problems which are described in several forums. Not usable at all.

Beside the software issues, which are solvable from SE, the worst issue is that it is not possible to recharge the beast in the arm clip.Construction fault.
[Desire HD Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
At first I did have the freeze issues but after removing and reinstalling the software and using liveware as per the instruction manual the phone no longer froze. I strongly suggest restarting the liveview after installing a plugin too.
[Desire HD Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
Drain on the phone isn't that noticeable, liveview lasts around 8 hours on a single charge. Perhaps not enough for some but it is a tiny device.
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
8 hours?! Is there a way to turn of the screen when not in use, or some other battery-saving feature? I'd look at this as a method to keep phone battery going for longer as you don't need to power up that massive screen the DHD is famous for. If it lasts less time than the phone, it's next to useless as far as I'm concerned. A crying shame, really.
[Desire HD Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
That's 8 hours you don't have to power your phone screen on for. It's great for running with the Sportypal plugin and also for driving with the Glob plugin, just clip the phone onto your car somewhere and you get live speed and speed camera warnings.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Mines arrived today and initially it was working ok - but then I tried to add a plugin and it's all gone wrong. It won't connect at all.

I have removed the LiveWare Manager, the LiveView application, all plugins and deleted the bluetooth pairing.

Then I installed the LiveWare Manager again, then re-paired, then reinstalled the LiveView app, and it still won't connect.

I'm about to fuzz it out a window. Any ideas?
[Desire HD Accessories] Hoodeddeathman:
Make sure it's 100% charged first time. It won't connect if there's no charge
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Problems kinda solved!

The SonyEricsson update is out! It's just hidden.

Here's what I did:

Went onto the SE website and downloaded the Update Service package for any phone (they're all the same).

The software currently doesn't have a selection for the liveview (though the front page mentions the LiveView Update!).

I selected the SE X10 as my phone, and clicked next. The software gives you a load of instructions to follow which obviously don't apply.

Instead, switch the liveview off, plug it into the USB, and then hold down the 2 physical buttons. The display shows a USB plug and the letters "DFT" and then the update software reacts and informs that there is new software.

Click to install it and it will download and install, but subsequently say it failed. Restart the LV by holding down the left button for 15 seconds and it will be updated!

Nothing visual has changed, but mine is maintaining connection continuously!

Only problem is that it doesn't seem to update my facebook or twitter feeds...

EDIT: restarted LV and everything has come to life! Wahoo!
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
I spoke too soon.About an hour after I posted it all fell apart again and stopped working properly.

I'm thinking this is more down to the liveview app rather than the device now. I'm gonna do a full wipe today and see if it helps.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Still no joy. It connects, works for about a minute, and then disconnects and I have to restart the phone and LV to get it to work again.

Seems to make it very, very angry when I get a text message too.
[Desire HD Accessories] ElmarK:
I just have updated my LV. Same sh.. as before :-(

The only difference is that the timeout of the display is in 2 steps. At least I haven't recognized this before.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
So after a weekend of using it I can give some more impressions.

In general, if you want to do something with the LiveView it will disconnect and be very angry at you for the rest of the day.

However, if you switch it on and just leave it, and let it update you when it wants to, then generally it's pretty solid. I have mine updating every 15 mins and it will buzz with my latest updates. I read them, turn the screen off and then 15 mins later will get another buzz. In this respect it works very well.

If I try to show anyone what it does (because it seems to get a LOT of interest) then it does not play well and just gives up.

I'm almost certain a lot of this is to do with the shoddy LV app though. Sometimes my LV will be off and I will be miles away from it, but the LV app decides to lock up the phone and I have to pull the battery.

Annoying.

EDIT: Just a quick note about the battery. I haven't had it on for long, but I can safely say that battery life far exceeds the 8 hours previously quoted.

Maybe 8 hours constantly on, but the screen dims and then turns itself off after a certain timeout anyway.
[Desire HD Accessories] wiseman95:
Is your DHD silver? (dazultra2000)
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Nope. Same as everyone elses. I've not yet updated my sigpic with the DHD yet.

In the pic it's:

Canary, Typhoon, Hurricane, BlueAngel, Universal, Kaiser, Rhodium
[Desire HD Accessories] wiseman95:
Wow, really? In the comparison photo it looks silver. It must just be like a reflection or something.
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
I don't have a DHD in the picture. It's my Touch Pro 2 that you're looking at.
[Desire HD Accessories] wbbigdave:
I think he means in the size comparison picture with the SLV and the DHD

Man I love TLA's (three letter acronyms)
[Desire HD Accessories] wiseman95:
Yes. Thanks wbbigdave. I should have elaborated on which comparison picture I was talking about LOL
[Desire HD Accessories] frankman:
The officiall update is out now!

It works great. Reconnecting is impossible fast.

Plugins seems to be faster (t ex gmail).
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Installing now! Will test and update later!
[Desire HD Accessories] dazultra2000:
Just FYI, there is an update for the app now as well.

Neither have fixed the issues for me but hopefully for everyone else it's fine.
[Desire HD Accessories] ed-1980:
FYI My experience...

I had an x10 mini pro before i saw sense (no pun intended) and got a DHD, the liveview was ok with the SE unless I wanted to actually use it with sportypal which would result in frequent crashes and refusal to reconnect which made it pretty useless!

I've updated the liveview app as well as the unit but i can't get it to stay connected for more that 5 minutes :-( which is a shame when trying to show it off.

Shame as it seems to have a lot of potential.
[Desire HD Accessories] ed-1980:
Just updated the app and the liveview again today and so far it seems useable! Reconnects first time if it loses sync and the sportypal plugin works as it should. Almost impressed with it.
[Desire HD Accessories] audiobookman:
i agree, the watch is now working as it should, i had mine running all day and it was a dream being able to control the phone with the watch.

just a shame its battery is weak.
[Desire HD Accessories] MariusOX:
Any updates on the issues mentioned here? Just ordered mine for 300 nok (38EUR/50USD/30GBP). And then dicided to see if i found any reviews:P
[Desire HD Accessories] ed-1980:
Mines collecting dust on my desk. Every time I try to use it in anger it lets me down. Good luck lol
[Desire HD Accessories] ardsar:
It works great on gingerbread roms like coredroid 4.7 and leedroids beta Rom and yes these are sense roms. It appears that gingerbread could resolve all our issues. With these roms the device has stayed paired all day
[Desire HD Accessories] Noy[ah]:
Looks like a nifty little device!
[Desire HD Accessories] MariusOX:
Think it's gonna work on CM7? since i hate sense, i refuse to use it:P
[Desire HD Accessories] fugounashi:
Does anyone have a properly working DHD/LiveView combination? Mine suffers from constant disconnections with GB 2.3.3.

I've heard that HTC use their own bluetooth stack, so maybe it would work better with CM or some other AOSP rom. Has anyone tried?
[Desire HD Accessories] Shaka-l-aka:
I just ordered mine for my DHD on amazon.de for 16€ (figured it is cheap enough that it does not matter if it works properly or not).

At the moment i am running PACman v18., i am ready to go back to JellyBean as soon as BT issues with speakerphone are solved, and i think codefireX looks quite interesting with 4.2 and all (maybe i am already a flashaholic?).

I can let you know my expierences, if anyone is still interested?
[Desire HD Accessories] aditya desai:
support for custom rom

i have DHD running on the rom code fire x,, will this live view watch support the phone??

The Froyo update for us might give us HSPA+
[Captivate General] LBCaptivate:
With all these Android 2.2 phones coming out, it may be even longer before we see the Froyo update. Just my opinion.
[Captivate General] Johosophat:
Do our phones even have the ability to use HSPA+?
[Captivate General] JeremyE77:
I already get an "h" on my phone where it previously said "3g". No even in a major metro -- Des Moines IA. I use this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856561
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
yes att disabled this.

that is why we flash to i9000
[Captivate General] Johosophat:
In this article they say that are devices are not compatible

"Unfortunately, just like with HSPA+ on T-Mobile, existing HSPA-compatible devices will not be able to utilize HSPA+, but AT&T is set to remedy that with a whole lineup of HSPA+ ready flagship Android devices – Motorola ATRIX 4G, Samsung Infuse 4G, HTC Inspire 4G, a Motorola tablet, and others. Overall, AT&T is set to release 12 Android phones in 2011, between 5 and 7 of them being HSPA+."

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...hspa-4g-expansion-12-android-devices-in-2011/

So what you are saying is that ATT is the culprit and our phones are hardware compatible but ATT has forced limitations to neuter our bandwith usage?
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
you got it.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I think you guys are confusing existing HSPA (currently supported) with the new HSPA+ (just starting to see support).
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
^We have a Winner.
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
Idk about offical att fw. I care about the network improvements
[Captivate General] Johosophat:
That's what I thought, because I was pretty sure our devices weren't HSPA+ capable, just HSPA capable and that it would require the use of different bandwidths and or antennas to work.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
What at&t has done is enabled HSDPA and disabled HSUPA which is part of the HSPA specification. The radio in the phone is capable of HSPA speeds up to 14Mbps but not higher AFAIK.

at&t just doesn't release radio firmware that have the faster uplink speeds enabled.

EDIT: Excuse me, the Captivate can't even do 14Mbps. It is locked at 7.2Mbps down and 5.76Mbps up.
[Captivate General] benson12:
Just so you know, HSDPA is the downstream bandwidth and HSUPA is the upstream bandwidth.
[Captivate General] EtherealRemnant:
I'm well aware of the differences between the two. Although due to the increased upstream speed and thus reduced latency, HSPA tends to have faster downstream speeds than HSDPA alone as well.
[Epic 4G General] kycrop44:
Ok I havnt seen or heard anyone talk about this. But I've had this problem with my slide out keyboard since I got the phone. I don't know if I'm typing to fast for it or what. But ill type an entire text then read what I wrote and random letters will be missing from words. This never happend on my g1 I had before I got the epic. I actually catch it when it does it now and its really annoying. I traded the phone for a new one at sprint and it did the same thing even before I rooted and installed a rom on it. Anyone have same issue? I'm really reconsidering this purchase because of this.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Ya. This happens to alot of people due to Samsung not knowing how to code.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
It appears that the input from the keyboard is faster than the phone can process. It's quite annoying.
[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:
Yep, I think it happens to almost everyone. Ever since I switched to the gingerbread keyboard it seems to happen less often, but I have no real evidence to back it up.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
the gingerbread keyboard is an onscreen keyboard. the op was talking about the slide out hard keyboard.

world of difference.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
He isn't wrong technically..as remember, disabling Swype seems to alleviate the issue..so if he is not using Swype and using the Gingerbread keyboard instead..the physical kb would work better lol
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Ok so ive seen this thread and another one regarding this issue.. Questions so the solution to miss keys on the hardware keyboard is disabling swype meaning using the standard android keyboard instead? OR deleting swype?

And im surprised there hasnt been a fix for it? but i think once we have official froyo source maybe it will be fixed?
[Epic 4G General] kycrop44:
Ok well I just disabled swype and will install gingerbread kb when I get home. Even the slightest bit of change would be better than what I'm dealing with now. Is a pretty good excuse to exchange my phone for a new one every week though haha. I'm surprised the guys at sprint had never heard of this happening. But they had also never seen adw launcher and the unlock screen I had either...
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
I disabled swype and just got the GB keyboard on my stock 2.1 rooted custom kernal rom and all i must say i really like this GB keyboard.

I will test the hardware kb today and see if it fixes some of the lag :)
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
This is also one reason I deleted Swype from my ROM,but I still get missed keys all the time on the hardware keyboard.
[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:
Exactly. I should have been more specific and said that by disabling Swype it seemed to help. Several other places in the forum have mentioned that tip.

I definitely understand that the OP was talking about the physical keyboard - I've never had a problem with any on-screen keyboard missing keystrokes.
[Epic 4G General] kycrop44:
I never even use the on screen keyboard. I'm no good with it honestly. I had the g1 before this then an lg rumor before that; all of which had keyboards so its all I am used to. Maybe I should learn the onscreen one a little more but isn't the point of having a hardware one is to use it? But disabling swype seems to help slightly and after I post this imma look into installing the gingerbread one. Thanks for the advice though I really appreciate it. Also I am relieved to know I'm not the only one with the issue. I plan on keeping this phone for awhile so hopefully it gets completely resolved in the very near future.

hi. gained from such a device, and he in English, myself, with Ukraine, I think not only will I be wondering how to change the language on it, can anyone help ?????
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Hakim Rahman:
to Change the Language you need T9ukraine.cab or T9full.cab

how to add your own manually?

You need a registry editor.

Say we want to add "T9UkraineLdb.dll"

- copy "T9UkraineLdb.dll" to \Windows

- go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\MUI\Languages]

- it should be:

"Available"="0409"

- change it to:

"Available"="0409, 0422"

(if you want that T9 Ukraine to appers first, put 0422 first in that list.)

- go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\LDBs]

- add new string value "0422"="T9UkraineLdb.dll"

- reboot

I've always wondered why other people mentioned a button that i clearly don't have :)
