[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabello123:
Hopefully to save a few people some time - I spent a whole day yesterday researching and deciding on the best way to go regarding a task management app.

As I researched i discovered that Google Tasks introduced the first/new Google Tasks API this year - see Youtube: "Google I/O 2011: Google Tasks API"

On this basis Google tasks would be a nice option to get a laptop solution as well as a mobile solution with synchronization between the two AND it integrates into Google Calender :) All VERY Android and cloud friendly.

So now I just needed to find the Android app which uses the new API and syncs with Goggle tasks. I found these:

Any.DO

Astrid

BHive Google Tasks

Google Tasks Organizer

Checkmark

Tasks N Todos

Toodledo

One of the binds of using these task apps is the time it takes to put an entry in. I didn't try them all from the list above but once I tried BHive I was sold. (This also ties in with victorcharlie's comment above - how I found this thread in a search btw!)

After the task description entry (which can be entered immediately after opening the app) they have used one press large buttons to allow v.quick entry of the rest of the data (without any shunt up/down nudge type data entry if you know what I mean or text entry using small keys). This steps you through each section of entering the task VERY rapidly and non fiddly.

Then with sync on auto or manual, the entered task on Android appears on the laptop in Google Tasks and Goggle Calendar at the task due date in the calendar. Really cool and logical. I won't go into the other great things about it here -

thedailybuggle.com has a nice review of BHive Google Tasks:

"how-to-sync-google-tasks-with-android"

BHive Google Tasks also has what the first poster in this thread Pheno.menon was asking for "a screen widget that is transparent and looks clean" and it has two sizes of widget available.

Try all the test apps and you decide. Astrid has the biggest following by far but that doesn't have to mean it's the best. Please report back here, I would be interested to here what you find.

Forgot to say - if your a Google chrome user this Chrome extension taskmail.org is great for adding tasks from web pages. Just select some text in the web page to use as a task description, then right click and select 'create task' :)

Also Google's chrome extension for tasks is good too "Google Tasks (by Google)"

Another tip and a v.nice feature. If you get an email say for example a Car Service due - go into the email, then select the more button, then "Add to tasks". This automatically creates a task which includes a hyperlink back to the email :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norths53:
Is there anyway to set google tasks so that an email can be automatically converted to a task?

This would be helpful as unlike in a desktop browser there doesn't seem to be a way to convert an email to a task in the gmail app on the phone.

[Galaxy Tab General] leetut:
im not getting any reply in the correct thread so it looks like i have to create a new one!

im looking for some PRO USER advice here for an android n00b

on my tab it says current version : PDA:JJ3 / PHONE:JID / CSC:JJ3

but there is an upgrade via kies to : PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5

can i still root after upgrade?

i have been reading the forum for a few days now and think i can still root via SuperOneClick?, but want to make sure before doing it as all the numbers are a little confusing to a new android user

(P.S. im a 10 year experienced NOKIA modder that has finally gave up on their crap firmwares and getting pretty excited about android!)

any sensible help is greatly appreciated
[Galaxy Tab General] fastcx:
give it a try, after i upgraded to jm4(asian fw), still can apply root via SuperOneClick, but not z4root tho.
[Galaxy Tab General] blacklevel:
I could not root using either method. Can't remember which ROM version that was. That's what made me try to root the Tab manually. That worked always for any ROM version I have tried (JM6, JMD, JME, JMF). See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859712
[Galaxy Tab General] leetut:
i updated to JJ7 and z4root still worked for me!;)
[Galaxy Tab General] fastcx:
Congratulation :)
[Galaxy Tab General] bdl1969:
Yes, you will be able to root. I did this upgrade via Kies on my UK Carphone Warehouse supplied Tab and afterwards was able to root successfully with SuperOneClick. Just a word of warning, if you are tempted to flash your Tab with Odin or Hemidal to any of the JM series ROMs, read the warnings about the new protected bootloaders before you do the flash.

Enjoy your Tab!!

[Hero CDMA Accessories] eXplicit815:
So, I've searched all over, and I can't find anyone who's had this problem, so I don't know if it's just my set up or what.

I got a set of $50 Skullcandy 50/50's for Christmas from my fiancee, and they're not fully functioning on my Hero. When I plug them in, I get the indicator that shows the headphones with microphone on the top of my screen, but the only thing that works is the sound. I can hang up and switch lines with the button on the microphone, but the volume up/down won't work, and the microphone does not push sound through. When I push the volume up/down buttons on my headset, I can hear clicking on the other end of the call though.

Now keep in mind, I've tried these earbuds on a couple different phones, and they work just as they should. They worked on an iPhone 4 and a Droid Incredible.

Is there something I'm missing, or a fix that someone has found to resolve this? I even went as far has having my phone replaced, and it does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue with AOSP 9.9.2 and plantronics headphones with mic. If i figure anything out ill let you know.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] MrDowntown12:
I have the same problem with some scosche headphones. They change the volume skip tracks, answer and hangup, and I can hear people on the other end. Problem is they cant hear me. Mic won't function. And it only happens on the hero.

As far as I can tell, the hero is just finicky and doesn't like certain headphones/mics. doesn't matter what rom or kernel you use.

I just gave up on it.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] eXplicit815:
Yeah, it's kind of irritating because I spent so much money on them. I'll just wait it out until I get a new phone. I just can't figure out how it won't work on this phone, but it shows like it should. It's just blowing my mind right now.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] LuvKnuckle:
I have 3 different pairs of skullcandy headphones 2 pair of the smokin buds and a pair of lowriders and I havent had that problem with any of them on my hero...I have an Alltel hero and I switch Roms 2-3 times a week. The only thing i can think of suggesting right now is to plug in the headset with the phone off and power it up with them still connected.

Found something that may help..but I cant post links so go to your webbrowser and type in code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/ and download the widget. Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Bierce22:
I have the smokin buds to and I love them they work well with my hero

Turning off the device and turning it back on with the headphones should work. Try it out. It actually work for me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BillTheCat:
I'm still trying to get used to the NAND DesireHD build and coming from NRG's ROMs this Android gig is something different. I use my phone primarily for business and personal needs (I'm not a gamer) and got rather used to using CHT and having information on my main screen. However, I'm noticing that Android works differently with applications and some things are confusing me. Maybe y'all can get me pointed in the right direction on these general questions and needs.

1) How do we turn off the damned unlocker screen? I'm tired of having to swipe every time I turn the phone on.

2) Is there an Android equivalent of the WM "Today" screen? I want to see my stuff at a glance instead of going to the calendar.

3) Where did my running program(s) go? Isn't there some sort of task switcher that I can get to without having to go back to my home screen, tap on the applications button and start the application again?

4) While I'm on the subject of running apps, is there any sort of utility that will enable me to go back to the previous screen, or jump to home via me an icon at the top of the screen or a gesture? I don't want to have to constantly hit the hard buttons, it's just not intuitive.

5) Isn't there an easier way to find applications than looking for them via the handset?

6) Can someone recommend an 'install to sd card' application to preserve the precious internal memory on Euro model HD2's?

That's it for now. I'm just trying to get Droid running more or less the way I'm used to it on WM and with all the apps and widgets, most of which seem to be crap, beta or of questionable value, I'm looking to those with experience.

for those on aosp here is a port of MANUP456's REVOlution theme...all credit goes to him obviously and check out his website digitalstylewars.com

Thanks to retrokid223 for originally porting this to the fascinate and providing help when I need it and to sbrissen for the reboot options and assistance...credit to DtatchD as always because I wouldnt have ever been able to do anything without his help when I first got into theming. :)

This is based of 1/3 Aosp v1. JT put battery percentage into v2 and since it was a java edit, I couldnt get rid of it and it was messing up the batteries :o....so for my own sanity i based it off the v1 framework.

anyway, whats themed?: Framework, volume/system progress, bottom menus, settings, deskclock, and browser.

depending on progress of gb...i may or may not update this as it seems like it might not be worth it :cool: and just wait to port to that

Hi guys!

May someone from you guys coul'd help me.

I've rooted my HTC Desire two days ago. After rooting, i've installed Oxygen 2.0 RC5. Everything seems to be fine, but at least my mobile internet connection (3g) seems to be dead. I tried to install OpenDroid instead of Oxygen, because i thought that this problem has something to do with the beta-stage of Oxygen. But i've got the same problem with all ROM's i've tried. So i think it has something to do with the rooting.

Just before asking: Yes, i've applied the APN-Settings given me from my provider which worked perfectly in the past.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You'll need to factory reset the phone. You can do this from the home screen by clicking menu, settings, privacy and factory data reset.

I'm assuming that you're running Android from the SD card (since you just bought it and NAND Android has only been available for a few days), so you could also delete the file "data.img" from the Android folder on the SD card and reboot the phone.

Hi,

I am reading a book on Android development. In one of the source code examples the author uses the construct:

String tt = **;

I assume he is initializing his new string to empty, but I have never seen this before and just want to be sure. There is probably a more detailed meaning.

Google search doesn't find anything like this. Can someone confirm what this means?

Thanks for any info or pointers to the definition.

Hey all,

I have got root permissions on my Samsung Galaxy S and also have ROM Manager installed but when I click boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery it just boots up the standard Android Recovery and shows the E: signature verfication failed etc which means I cannot flash to another ROM or anything?

It used to work but for some reason since installing a new custom ROM it does not anymore? Please help :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
I have the same problem. If I try booting into recovery via the ROM Manager app, I get the original 3e recovery. However, if I try entering recovery directly (power off, hold vol up, home and power at the same time), I get into Clockwork Recovery every time.

I have the latest ROM Manager installed so I don't know why this is happening but it doesn't really affect me so I've not investigated further.

[edit] I'm only saying that I have the same problem because we're both running a speedmod kernel (albeit different versions) which installs a modified recovery to "fix" the 3e recovery issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Swatto86:
Hello Both,

Yep I have tried installing it again JJEgan but no luck :(

I can't even boot into CWM recovery with the 3 button method because my phone doesn't support the 3 button thing - another gripe I have :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
Ummm. Before doing ANYTHING, why not proceed to fixing the 3-button issue? There's a thread pinned to every i9000 forum for a reason.

I'm guessing (don't know for sure) that you might have to reflash the kernel afterward to resolve the 3e recovery if it's placed back on your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] behemot24:
flash clockwordmod recovery from rom manager. it will create a "update.zip" file on your internal card. then reboot into normal recovery and apply update.zip twice, there you are :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
no you are wrong.. the signature failed is because you are not using 2e recovery but 3e (2e is lost when flashing to froyo).. you will need to restore 2e recovery with a custom kernel or custom rom.. search and read up on it and dont comment if you dont know what you are talking about.

recommend chainfire cf kernel to restore 2e recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PatcheZ:
yub, what lgkahn said.

you need to flash a different kernel.

lots of ppl recommend hardcore's speedmod too, but try a few different ones and see which you like

[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Hi everyone.

A co-worker of mine recently showed me something from the OTA update that happened a month ago. When he types in a number, or spells out a contact name, the dialer searches for the most recent contact that matches, either through spelling or phone number, and displays it, with a link to other matches.

I've been missing this functionality since WinMo 6.1.

To regain this functionality, I tried DialerOne, didn't care for it. I'm now using aTAKEphONE (had to pay for it) which is decent, but not fantastic.

Last night I installed Gummy Jar and I'm loving it so far, but I was disappointed to find that the T9 Contact Search in the default dialer was't included. :(.

Is there anyway to get this functionality without switching ROMs?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Depends on if this source code for the dialer includes this functionality. If this is a moto blue feature, then probably not.

Im not sure whether source includes it or not
