"Some" were announced to be Q2, the moto tab is Feb. and 20 bucks says the HTC will be out by then too.
[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
The thunderbolt is going to be a q1 phone released prob in February and will get great support in both dev and vzw/htc updates, so i would take my bets with the tunda bowl
[Fascinate General] smilepak:
I think that is the weakpoint of SF.

I compared it with the original Motorola Droid and Droid X against Samsung Fascinate side by side, the Droid and Droid X has better connection strength and GPS than Fascinate. Due to the better connection strenght, that equal to better download speed.

I place them on the table side by side in two locations. One at my house and at my office. They are approx 40 miles apart from each other and the result were supportive.
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Fascinate>Droid X, by a good deal. Have a friend and a girlfriend with the X and several friends with two versions of the Galaxy S - Captivates and Fascinates.

The Fascinate has:

No locked bootloader - this allows for custom kernels etc.

Superior/faster GPU - MUCH better 3d performance on the Galaxy S.

Superior/faster CPU

Superior Screen technology - pure black levels - black appears black not grey like an LCD - and the screen is brighter to boot

Thinner form factor and more pocketable design - no silly bulge.

Superior accessories such as the fantastic and cheap, Verizon OEM kickstand case.

Touch buttons vs. hard buttons.

USB port and headphone jack are on the same side and on the TOP - IMHO the best location for them.

Really the only thing the Droid X has going for it is the HDMI out, 16:9 display ratio, and the slightly larger screen. To me, the Fascinates Pro's far outweigh this

The GPS issues for me and most others are solved by an update to DJ05 or DL09, which should be available as an official OTA update from Verizon soon. I would like the GPS to lock a little faster than it does still, but it locks faster than my girlfriends Droid X side by side now. It seldom takes more than a minute to lock. Ussualy it takes under 30 seconds.

Call quality is identical between them IMHO.
[Fascinate General] cam815:
I strongly urge anyone who is having signal issues to read my experience here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893042

I am now tremendously happy with my Fascinate. Full signal. 24+ hours of battery life. Lots of apps installed. GPS always on. And I haven't even bothered to root it yet because honestly, I still don't see the need to.
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
The fascinate (like samsung cdma phones in the past decade in general) has a less receptive cdma radio antenna. The same exists with gps.

Gps can lock faster with software that narrows the location range (like htc's software), but the fascinate will never experience 5 second gps locks like other (even first generation) androids phones. Period.

Software can't fix the cell antenna. Look in settings > phone info network signal strength.

Set the fascinate next to a DX, Eris, Droid1, DInc, D2 (i have personally done each).

The fascinate will almost ALWAYS show 10dbm worse reception than any of those phones. This point is further reinforced when the fascinate (there are 4 in my office) randomly lose 3g reception in the office, where no other phone has that problem.

Great graphics, screen, and processor. But crippling cdma, gps antennas and crippling Tw software. Also, no notification light, which is a staple of androids phones and what differentiates them from iphone.

Wish I went with dX or DInc.

Think of it like having Sprint instead of Verizon. That's a good gauge of the reception strength difference.
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Did a little digging, but can't find my exact problem.

I'm on the leaked 2.3.340 using the update to 2.3.320 update, followed by the SBF to 2.3.340. I would like to update to the OTA, but need to know if it's necessary. I've seen posts about updating the kernel, radio, and stuff. Did the SBFs not update these files?

I attempted to use the 2.2 OTA SBF to go back and update, but that failed. My old nandroid of the 2.2 OTA is failing to update (it downloads, but reboots saying failed update). What should I do?
[Droid X General] forever29:
Is it just the patches that you want?

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Awesome, thanks. I'll scan that thread to figure out what and how to update.
[Droid X General] forever29:
I used the 2.3.320 SBF and then used the system updater in that link I provided for. 340. I don't know if it makes a difference since we both got to 340 in a different way.
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Well, because of my upgrade method all I had to upgrade was my kernel. Working like a dream now.
[Droid X General] forever29:
Perfect. Glad you got it working.

Hi everyone,

Today I saw the preview video of Honeycomb, Android 3.0. I decided it would be a nice waste of time to re-create the wallpaper shown in the video. Check out the zip file for the result.

First off...thank you very much!!! Ive been searching everywhere to find this. Second, if i may, request on of these be made for a 1240 x 1240 resolution. That seems to be the best fit for my G Tablet which is what i am dying to put this on! Thank you again very much for your work!!
[Android Themes] HJ200:
Hi there,

Thanks for the enthusiasm, the making of the wallpaper did take a lot of time :)

Because 1240 x 1240 sounds like a weird resolution to me, I did a little search on the G Tablet you're using. Do you perhaps mean 1024 x 1024?

Second: however the wallpaper started as a vector drawing, it isn't anymore. So upscaling wouldn't be very different than when you upscale it in your own picture-editing software (e.g. Photoshop).

Enjoy the wallpaper! :cool:
[Android Themes] CivilDroid:
Ah, yes you are correct on the resolution. And thanks again for the info!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainsaw5001:
Metro has a roaming agreement with verizon. When in one of these roaming zones or sometimes when metro is doing some system maintenance this scenario you describe will occur. When you leave that roaming zone or metro finishes with their system maintenance, whatever the case. Your phone should then just go back to working as before.

Let me ask, is that normal when I go back to QPST -> PPP Config

the Password field be empty? or should there be something that was set before?

Is the prl file to be uploaded to ROAM tab right?

what prl have anybody up running on evo metro?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jogitoxxx:
The EVO will not work on NY. Since there is not PCS band in NY

NY,NJ and some others states only use AWS band which is a new frecuency band not supported by the EVO,

thats why you're on roaming, your EVO can't see any metro network even if you have the latest metro PRL

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:
Hey guys, I have a sipgate + google voice set up and it's all going great, but I happen to live in a very low quality reception area and will pretty much always be on EDGE and with only a 15-25 kbps download speed.

I would love to use wifi, but I live in a dorm where there is no public wifi (or wifi at all for that matter).

Anyway, my question is, are there any ways to lower the quality of the calls incoming and outgoing? I tried making a call earlier and the other person heard the message literally almost 15 seconds after I said it and it was almost completely garbled. Aren't there ways to make a voice call only use like 8kbps?

I am using the built in SIP client with Gingerbread and a sipgate account. I have no problems switching SIP providers as long as it's free.

This is very important to me, because I need it to call my parents back in the states for free because I am in Israel studying for a year.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
I'm not positive because I haven't tried it myself, but I believe you can use pbxes to route communications between your sipgate account and your SIP client. Pbxes allows the use of other codecs and lower bitrates, so it should allow for a little better quality when you have a poor connection. Accounts are available at http://pbxes.org/.

You should do a Google search on pbxes, sipgate, and Google Voice. I know there are some guides out there on how to set it up...

They all send me to an infinite boot loop.

I've got a CDMA HTC Touch Diamond

My Carrier is Telus

Bootloader SPL 0.57

I would say I bricked it but I'm not sure yet.

So far I've tried out mtty but I can't get my phone to hard reset. I probably don't know my terms due to the fact I'm new to the windows rom scene.

Can anyone help me via teamviewer?

Just to make sure I have everything set right because it would really suck to have to buy a new phone. :S

Contemplating doing this myself. Not sure I have enough reasons to upgrade from my Droid 1 though, considering the hackability factor on the D2G isn't near as great.

[Droid 2 Global General] hk9090:
Hi,

If you have a D2G, I believe a droid pro should work too?

How did you activate it? And what settings did you use to get it to pick page plus?

Im not really familiar with P+

, I have a droid pro which I use with a gsm card overseas. I travel to the us about a week a month and verizon's lowest prepaid plan is simply too high for such a short usage. I'm looking for an affordable alternative, at least while the radio band unlock solution comes out and I can put in a prepaid at&t card. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
[Droid 2 Global General] locarbdontmeannosugar:
Since P+ runs off of verizon's network, most phones work out of the box. Both of my Droids required no extra config.. just give them the esn, activate, and you're good to go. The 29.95 plan is great if you're out of country frequently and don't need a huge amount of mins in the states.. you get 1200min/1200txt/50mb data.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 7Dream:
anyone knows where can i download rmandroiddm.exe ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 7Dream:
I restored it using this tuto ;)

If you have a device which is not recognizable by the PC:

You need a 32-bit Windows (I used WinXP VMware player image from my Win7 64-bit)

In my case connecting the device to the PC did not resulted in access to the memory, only the drive letters appeared, but could not be mounted.

At the same time, the RKandroid tool did not recognize the device at all.

So, we need to reflash the archos 7ht. For this we need to enter update mode - and here is the trick:

1. Shutdown the tablet (in my case - pin reset shutdowns it)

2. LOCK the sliding button (for me this was the tricky part to find out)

3. Connect the USB cable and the powercable.

4. The winXP should detect a new USB device. Make him happy - give him the rk28usb-new drivers to install.

5. Now the RKAndroidTool.exe should be able to detect the RKandroid USB device.

Ok, if you've got this far, now we need to re-flash it. For safety, let's do this with the default Archos 7HT update image (which can be downloaded from the Archos website)

I think that the RKAndroidTool.exe needs extracted files from update.img. For this, extract them using AFPTool.exe:

AFPTool.exe -unpack update.img .

(or use the extractupdate.bat)

Now, we can finish the reflashing:

6. Start RKAndroidTool.exe.

7. If the extracted files from update.img are placed in rockdev folder and in image subfolder, the RKAndroidTool.exe should find them automatically.

8. Execute. Make sure the device is plugged to AC, because the process takes some time. IF THE PROCESS STOPS UNEXPECTEDLY YOU GET A HIGH-TECH BRICK (or so everyone says, I didn't test it).

9. You should see the device responding and starting the update process. It will take some time, dont ruch it.

~20 seconds – copy firmware to device,

~30 seconds – device firmware installation,

~3-8 minutes - First boot

10. The Archos Tablet should ask you to recalibrate the screen, and load the OS.

That's it. Good luck!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] RPK925:
Iam using a TILT 2 with FR03 2.2 and my activity launcher expired. the easiest way i have found to fix this is by going to www.appbrain.com/app/org.adw.launcher this will take you to appbrain.com to adw launcher downloading site, but above in the banner it should say "download directly from the android market" click on that it takes you to the market and you can search and download adw or launcher pro.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] KJI:
I also installed adw launcher today, got it via the jbthemes site linked me over to android market. Have to say that with the 1245 kernel and adw installed it seems my device seems more stable (for now).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hadobac:
Me too, give me 5 :D

But instead of using adw launcher, I choose zeam launcher, since IMHO not only it's faster and much lighter, but it also xda product :D
