Well since my last post got deleted for some reason, I'll say it again. Android traitors jumping ship for a 3G iPhone. Not a very wise choice. You will be back !
[Droid Eris General] doogald:
Traitor? You make it sound like a war. It's not - it's just a device. People will buy what suits them best, and why you care what suits somebody else best is a bit puzzling.
[Droid Eris General] Eric1948:
No kidding, huh? Some of the opinions on here are absurd in the least and idiotic at the most.

Buy an iPhone and be shunned, makes me want one even more now.

There are fanboys on both sides. I was once an Android Fanboy.....

It's less than 24 hours until I can preorder my iP4. But thanks for all the posts here.
[Droid Eris General] Eric1948:
I'm not a "fanboy" for either one, I just want a phone that does what it's supposed to. So far, Android hasn't done that for me.
[Droid Eris General] lotus22:
Totally agree with you on that statement.
[Droid Eris General] deadbot1:
iphone, android, winmo7...eh it's all the same...only different. I'm sticking with Android for now..mostly due to the rapid development pace. Apples lockdown on their market is also a big turn off for me. It's my device, I'll choose what should or shouldn't be on there, thanks.

A few people have mentioned Netflix...I have a feeling that Verizons new cap on the top 5% is aimed squarely at those users. Streaming movies to a phone eats up huge amounts of bandwidth. They have to pay for said bandwidth(by way of reduced profits from our payments)..that means they will strangle it to death eventually.

I'll sum up this way....

I have an old ass Eris. My buddy has an iPhone. they both make phone calls, play games, play movies. I can easily switch things up on my phone, he can play more and better games, I can ....well you get the idea. Each unit has it's pros and cons. Android seems to be more for individualists, iPhones for me-too types and everyday sheeple. Like most things, one size does NOT fit all.
[Droid Eris General] Pokelover980:
I'll be sticking with Android. It's far easier to get and make customizations on Android, and I find the rooting process much simpler than jailbreaking. On the app subject, apps are far cheaper on Android than they are on iOS. I've never paid for an app on my Droid because every app I've wanted has been free. When a friend brags about an app they have on iOS that I don't have on Android, I brag about all my free apps and how I have apps that even top theirs. Also, app development is in my opinion far easier on Android. Last I checked, you had to pay to even get the SDK for iOS.
[Droid Eris General] lotus22:
Any that's the reason people don't develop paid applications for Android. Nobody buys them. I know I have not purchased a single application for my Eris.
[Droid Eris General] Pokelover980:
I would buy apps if anyone sold their apps. All the good apps are just free, or they've been going paid and I got them when they were free so I get the premium version for free. I have been looking into some paid apps like SetCPU (I did get the free XDA version, but I've been considering buying it to support the dev), but right now I just lack the money :P
[Droid Eris General] 56K:
well guys its been real, but i am un-rooting my eris.....my iPhone is now active...

Keep up the great work here Devs.....
[Droid Eris General] nvillian:
same

all my apps started as free and then stayed free when upgrades changed to paid. setcup is worth it and is my only paid app. As previously said, there is no paid app for the driod that has any features you can't get off of the free ones.
[Droid Eris General] doogald:
While it's true that many pro versions merely remove ads from free apps, Titanium Backup adds the ability to batch restore, encrypt your backups, keep multiple backups per app, plus many more features that do not exist in the free version.

Setting Profiles Full allows you to have more than one rule.

System Panel adds features that do not exist in System Panel Lite.

That's off the top of my head, anyway.
[Droid Eris General] orkillakilla:
I usually use free apps, but sometimes I buy the paid version of the app to support the developer if they do good work.

That's actually not what I said at all. It was joke man, grow some thicker skin and come back.

Somebody must get shunned a lot !?!
[Droid Eris General] Eric1948:
Sounded like it to me a others as well. It doesn't matter, this is my last post on XDA, I no longer have a reason to come on here as I no longer have an Android phone. I've had my new iPhone since last Monday, and it's a million times better than the Eris, I can actually receive a call now! It's been fun, see ya!
[Droid Eris General] Pokelover980:
You obviously did something wrong if you couldn't receive a call with your Eris. After all the different ROMs I've flashed and no matter what has happened to my phone, I can continue to make calls, plus everything else that it's supposed to do.
[Droid Eris General] Eric1948:
I didn't do anything wrong, it was the same way on two different Eris' that I had. 14 rings before it would ring my phone. EVERYONE that called me said the same thing, rooted or not. Tried different ROM's, different settings, nothing worked. I always had great signal too. (I live two blocks from a Verizon tower)
[Droid Eris General] Pokelover980:
Once again, you probably did something wrong, but you probably don't know it. I've never had any problems with my Eris, and no one ever complains to me that it takes forever for me to pick up. It could have just been that the ringtone you were using had a lot of silence in the beginning and you didn't notice it was ringing yet.
[Droid Eris General] Eric1948:
Once again, how could I have possibly done anything wrong when it did it right out of the box? Like I say, it doesn't matter, I'm done with it.

when i changed roms today from energy to core cell evo then back to energy my slpash screen is still on the core cell evo theme in the backround even when i have flashed to a energy rom. would i need to change it every time i flash a different series of roms i know how to change splash screens but where do i find the energy rom splash screen?

Check my sig for the stock TP2 splash (TP2 stuff).

I know that for the HD2 ROMs, NRG started using the Energized image (the one in my sig -- in the HD2 portion) as a bootscreen. I didn't know that the ROMs for other devices does not come with the Energized splash.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budbay1:
Hello all - I don't know if there's any answer to this or not but thought I'd throw it out there. I updated Android myself to 2.1 since apparently AT&T doesn't feel the need to. That has been a fine experience and I've experience nothing negative aside from the wireless network speed. My phone now always has the H (for HSDPA from what I understand) instead of of 3G, but downloads, web browsing, and YouTube are all way slower than they were before. It takes 10 - 15 seconds to download a 750k app usually. I have ran the speed test app from speedtest.net and its results confirm this by showing 44 kbps downstream & 750 kbps upstream speeds.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I know that HSDPA is supposed to be faster than 3G but this is unbearable - I am almost tempted to use EDGE exclusively because that is all I pick up at home (EDGE service that is) and I get better performance when using the browser than I do with HSDPA (although that is probably more mental than anything since when on HSDPA I am sitting there staring at the phone thinking "What is taking so long!" and when on EDGE I choose something and then don't worry about it for a few because I know it will take some time.

Thanks for any advice!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
This is probably a network coverage issue and nothing you can do about it from a phone standpoint.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budbay1:
Ha! I love the first response had a joker pic because I was thinking of the joker when I wrote "why so sloooow".

Anyways when you say coverage what do you mean precisely? do you simply mean at&t hasnt done enough in my area for hsdpa to be effective? I do always have a full 4 bars of strength on it pretty much.

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Yes, I mean AT&T. Having four bars means that you have a good signal. It does not indicate however how much bandwidth AT&T has allocated to that particular area/tower.

Think of it like a wireless router at home or office. On your laptop or computer, you see that you have a strong WiFi signal but, that does not mean that you have a fast connection as that depends on your DSL/cable connection.

Get my point?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budbay1:
Got it, that's what I feared. So in essence by improving my phone with 2.1 I screwed my phone (currently) with hsdpa
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
No, it did not screw your phone. Your phone is innocent here. It is probably the network. AT&T may have a problem in that area. Did you try the speed somewhere else?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budbay1:
Nope, haven't tried it anywhere else. I didn't mean screw my phone, what I, meant was if at&t is not so good with hsdpa in my area I am stuck with those speeds until that is resolved because I can't force 3g (my speed when I had iphone 3g was usually around 1 mbps)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcforrest1:
I am on att also with the 2.1, luckily im in an area where i get around 2mb/2mb sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Did you try the setting in wirelessnetworks/mobile networks/network mode/ tick wcdma only if not on H. could help not sure, just a thought.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Your phone automatically switches between H/3G/E where available. I also have AT&T and have debranded my phone and did not notice any lag.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
your problem is AT&T.

H is higher than 3G. if you got problems with it it`s because the signal is strong enough to use H but it preforms worse than 3G (cunfusing ah?!) :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budbay1:
Well I was outside of my town the other day, in the country and noticed I was in hsdpa somehow so I ran a test and out there I was getting on average about 3.7 mbps. I guess where I am most of the time just isn't an optimal spot. Thanks all for the responses!

I plan to sell my old good Hero and I would like to install there some kind of Sense ROM (only 2.1 ROMs have fully working Sense).

Which one do you think is the best now? I had VR12 and Cronos Sense in the past, but maybe there is something better. Especially battery life is important for me.

ROM from XDA is not a condition ;)

Thank you in advance.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deckoff:
It seems I made the mistake of applying the last OA update. Which means no root. On the other hand, I need root edit gps.conf file, for a better gps fix.

After spending some time reading I found a way to downgrade - not sure if I will apply it, it seems a new update is coming.

Anyway, my question is - what is the difference between reset to factory default. Does it return my phone to the state I had it when I bought it, or just whipes all personal info without downgrading. I don't want to loose any data doing a reset, and now quite sure what the downsides of downgrading using the method described in ROM dev section. I am a but of a noob on Android topic, too... that is why I had to ask
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandas:
very interested to know this myself - ive got a desire on telstra running:

2.26.841.2 and hboot 0.93.0001

iv tried just about every method out there to root it but no success (though i have come close)

i also have a gold card

if i go back to factory will i be able to root, and what is the best way to root his phone?

failing that - does anyone know anyone who can?

many thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Factory reset wipes all the user data, it will not downgrade the ROM. So i'm afraid to get root you are going to have to downgrade as per instructions here
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandas:
so does that guide work for the normal desire or just the desire hd?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandas:
sorted

ok sorted it all out and rooted my phone finally

having the phone completely up to date beforehand was probably the biggest hinderance

so in summary for anyone else in my (former) situation i can offer the following advice:

1. download downgrader from http://www.multiupload.com/CFAR720K5P and extract to readily accesible folder

2. copy PB99IMG.zip to sdcard (mine's 8gb kingston, had about 3gb of other stuff on there)

3. make a gold card as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=573866 up to the recovery step. i used the same card as above

4. run the win-down.bat file and follow all instructions (phone should now be running hboot 0.83)

5. remove the files you put in the sd cards root

6. download and run unrevoked3 (whatever version is 28,069KB)

7, you should be all sorted

you may find youself turning the phone on and off and and switching cards heaps, i found it useful to shuffle files around by selecting 'mount phone as disk drive' to move the files i needed, and then revert to charge only afterwards.

to arrive at this solution took me fn ages so i hope im helping another noob out there somewhere. experts are invited to shoot holes in my method.

many thanks to muskie for his passive assistance

What does having the 1+ area code help with? I always found it annoying
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryattheworld:
To be honest, I have no idea. But it fixed two contacts that I still could not mesage after the above fixes made it work for everyone else. I don't know why I forgot the prefix when I entered those contacts, but all my contacts have had the 1and area code for years. I had a travelling job and had so much trouble trying to dial people when roaming. In some places just the area code was good, in others you needed the 1. Just became a common practice for me to add it all for every contact to avoid problems, and a little thing I caught here.

I pulled the QuickOffice APK off my Droid2 and put installed it on my GTab, and had no problems. I am not sure why it would be failing on you. I see you are using TnTLite, while I am using Vegan.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] akodoreign:
same using quick office on vegan 5.1, and it works just fine.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] popezaphod:
I think the versions of QuickOffice pre-installed on phones are device-specific. I know I couldn't get the Droid 2 version to run on my GTablet - which is fine because, technically, that would be stealing.

I'm waiting to see if anyone comes out with a tablet-ready office suite before I plunk down any virtual bucks, though.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Frrrrrrunkis:
I think it is sonething to do with it being device specific, cuz the apk file has a .htc part in it and that is who makes my phone. I will buy it if it comes up and without a doubt supports the tab running tnt 4.0 lite, I just want to be sure. Mostly I wanted to see if I could do it. Knowledge is a great and powerful weapon, regardless as to how mundane it may seem

[Nook Color General] Jsorvik:
I am sorry if this falls in the "dumb question" category, but I am wondering if anyone has created an image of the Unrooted NookColor system that could be booted up from the SD. This would allow me to attempt a boot from SD when I want the Nook to look/act like it did before rooting without the hassle of unrooting and re-rooting.
[Nook Color General] devis:
I wouldn't say dumb, but the answer is "no" though I would love it myself, as well as a bunch of others too.
[Nook Color General] chrismoo:
This would be very handy. To run the Nook fully rooted and eventually all nookied up running all internally it would be ace to slip in an SD card and get all the deals from B&N and occasionally read a book :-)
[Nook Color General] mysteryvortex:
I attempted to do this some time ago, changing all instances of mmcblk0 to mmcblk1 in init.rc in the ram disk. The SD card image was unregistered (you had to go through the first start steps of putting in your B&N account) and the image on the internal flash had been started and registered.

If I remember correctly, I was able to boot and register from the SD card. However, when I removed the SD card and booted the internal flash, it acted as though I was unregistered, and there were other troubles as well. I restored it, and didn't pursue it further.

This indicates that there are other places where you need to switch from internal flash to SD card so that your internal flash doesn't get written to.

I made the backup using auto-nooter-2-12-15.img.zip where I modified the ramdisk not to actually run the auto nooter script. (you just remove it from /etc/init.d/) I could then log in via SSH and dd the internal flash to the SD card.
