Hi all!

I've installe PlayerPro for listening my music and mp3... is there any similar app for listening FM radio nont via web but with the headphone antenna?

The standard one is not really cool, isn't it?
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
I currently qualify for a Sprint Premier Upgrade ($150 off, etc). I bought my EVO unsubsidized (quite expensive), so I don't really have any reason to be using my upgrade at this time. I don't really care for the Epic or the Evo Shift.

This April 1st change to Premier status as me worried. I'll be downgraded to silver. That's fine, I'm ok with only getting a GOOD deal on upgrades every 2 years, every other company is like that. BUT! I currently qualify for an upgrade now. Will I lose the ability to use this come April 1st?

I know it's not a HUGE deal if that happens, my two years will come around in October (I bought a launch HERO, so I'm "upgrading" from that). Still though, I could use my upgrade to grab a new phone now, and sell it and recoup a ton of what I paid for my unsubsidized EVO. But if I can wait until summer to use my upgrade, I'd like to see what comes out. I'd like to be the first kid on my block with a new fangled whatever using my upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I don't think they'll take it from you but anything can happen.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
When I called I specifically asked the rep "If I'm due for upgrade in June will I lose it?" and she said "no". She said she would note my account and that she would send me an email confirmation.

I've never received an email confirmation from a rep since actively being on Sprint. I have to call again this week and get something in writing.

I would say yes since you're grandfathered in but only they can tell you what their policy states.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
I just called and the rep had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the changes. He did tell me that, either way, I should at least get 1 12 month upgrade, which is due in July, before I have to wait for 22 months on the Silver plan.
[EVO 4G General] .ZeuS.:
I know a lot of people are going to jump on the ditch Sprint bandwagon because of this BUT we all need to look at one thing. Verizon just dumped their renewal program all together and AT&T won't be far behind... At least Sprint is still offering an early renewal even if the did tighten their belts a little on the qualifications...
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Att already dumped it too. Sprint is now officially the only one with yearly upgrades
[Galaxy Tab General] ajderr2000:
With the SGT, I have a case for it and have been reading in all the specs that it does have a proximity sensor... but how do you actually get it to work?

I would love if I could open the case and it turned on, and then off. So far I have not read anything about using the proximity sensor in any way on the Tab.

Any help??

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
I don't think that will happen since apple have just patented that idea (I think)

UPDATE: i was wrong http://www.appleinsider.com/article...ad_2_could_bring_auto_screen_lock_unlock.html but knowing apple they will patent it
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I'd be exceedingly surprised if this was the case, because there's going to be an awful lot of prior art here!

Regards,

[Galaxy Tab General] agentdr8:
I was under the impression that the Tab did not have a proximity sensor. All of the Galaxy S devices do, but that's because you put it close to your face when talking on it. The Tab doesn't have a handset speaker on it, so I don't think it would be necessary.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
does the galaxy tab actually have proximity sensor , or has any one tried it
[Galaxy Tab General] samspunker:
Well, for what it is worth, I remember having a metal detector on my TMo G1 that used the proximity sensor, so the white fruit company can't say they had the idea first.
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
It doesn't.

I do love my X, but I have grown a little tired of the size and form factor. I am a little worried I might be disappointed with the battery life and a possible resale value on the INC if I do make the switch.

Anyone had a good experience going to the INC form the X?
[Droid Incredible General] SynbiosVyse:
I haven't had an X myself but I don't know why you should be concerned about resale value..you're using the phone.

The form factor of the DX sucks IMO, it's bulky and ugly.

The Incredible's screen is much nicer quality too, even the SLCD version. When comparing the screen sizes it's like quantity vs. quality.

If you're into custom ROMs and such, the INC is a great phone.
[Droid Incredible General] r3dlined:
Only thinking about resale to help me buy a new phone when some newer versions come out (I had used the new every 2, even though its gone now, on X release date).
[Droid Incredible General] fortesquieu:
I can assure you not to worry about the resale value because, INC has a higher resale value than DX. INC is about $152 while DX is only about $96.

Hrmm I wonder why that is. I have been trying to look at what people are selling these for in the forums.
[Droid Incredible General] codyppc:
I had the x and switched to the dinc. HTC does a way better job with Android if you ask me. The community does much better with HTC devices as well. Sense is a must have for me as well.

Even though the evo sold mass amount of phones, I think its too big. I the x was just as big and drove me crazy. I like the size of the dinc. With the evos 1500 mAh battery in my dinc, I can last all day no problem.

Sent from my incredible using the XDA app
[Droid Incredible General] fierywater:
I had an X and returned it for an Incredible. Part of the reason was because the Incredible was free and the X had cost me $200. That said, the Incredible feels faster, even with slightly slower hardware, thanks to HTC's superior software. Motorola's software package is pretty terrible.
[Droid Incredible General] irod87:
I made that switch. The battery life is definitely worse on the incredible. I missed the big screen at first. Made the incredible seem extra small coming from the X. I have an slcd incredible and even that screen seems to have much more contrast than the Droid x. I like running cyanogenmod and custom kernels so im enjoying the incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] McDizzle:
Wait a minute! The Evo battery fits the DInc? Please confirm!
[Droid Incredible General] PhillyCheez:
I'm actually confused myself. On htcpedia there is the 1500mah for $40 for the incredible .... but the 1500mah for the evo is $30... are they the same and does it matter?

X might be a nice phone but with a locked bootloader that's harder to get in than Fort knox...no thanks I will stick with my Incredible
[Droid Incredible General] NCX Designs:
I went from an Incredible to an X back to the Incredible

The X had nothing but issues, and screen wasn't nearly as gorgeous as the AMOLED one.

The Sense UI is the best UI you can get for Android, in my opinion hands down the best.

The hardware of the Incredible feels faster too like another poster said, on the X my friend and I were in a parking garage waiting to get a GPS signal, i pulled my Incredible out and mine found our location when the X was still looking for 10 more mins.

The X is also too tall, it doesn't use the right screen ratio like the EVO and ThunderBolt will.

The developer community is the best on EVO/Incredible vs Droid 1/2/X

and I also develop themes for Incredible which i'll be moving on to ThunderBolt
[Droid Incredible General] r3dlined:
I just got an inc keeping my x to try this out. Only two things so far I don't like:

-can see the touchscreen sensors on a white background(emails or web usually)

-touch screen isn't quite as accurate as the x

-there was a hair under the glass screen. Looks like the screen isn't that tight around the body. Compressed air blew it right out though.

On a positive sense KILLS blur! The overall feel is great, better widgets, comfortable formfactor.
[Droid Incredible General] brandon2x:
I had an X until 2 weeks ago. I miss it... The screen size is enough for me to be trying to get it back. I have BIG hands and I could fly texting on my X but on this, Im hitting backspace more than any other key, even with auto correct. The reason I traded was to be able to customize more which is definitely better. Another issue is with games. The Inc is slow to respond and it glitches and pauses all the time playing homerun battle 3d. The X NEVER did that. I don't know, they both have their positives and negatives but my hands alone are the reason I'm trying to trade back to an X. BUT I will come back to HTC when the Thunderbolt comes out. NO DOUBT, cause sense destroys blur. always had to use Luancherpro on the X but never on the Inc because of the custom roms...
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
What do you mean by the touch screen isn't as accurate? My friend and my cousin both have the X, my brother has the Fascinate, and I have the Incredible. I've used all 3 phones extensively and in my experience, the X has the least responsive touch screen of all. Do you mean accuracy as in trying to click on small links on web pages or something? If that's the case it might just be because the screen is smaller; if you're having trouble you could try highlighting the link or button that you want to click with the trackpad.
[Droid Incredible General] sprintrjm:
re x

i have the droid incredible and i bought the droid x on the week it came out.

Immiatlely i was dissappointed at the same time some things were great.

The low audio on the navigation even with the windows up made it unusable with turn by turn directions... im sure they fixed this.

The ****ty Moto UI = **** sammitch.

The below average quality of the lcd, it looked washed out and bland compared to my incredible.

The large 4.3 inch screen was awesome to surf on.

it was thin for a large phone.

It was new.

I have had many phones in the past and none of them gave me the same kind of user experience as HTC and sadly the iphone.

If i was technically retarded and was an old woman i would have kept my iphone..

But nobody besides HTC has made a better phone AND UI...

Samsung UI = **** , hardware = ok, software updates = ****

Motorola UI = **** see above

LG = **** **** and more ****

Sony = erickson = ****

nokia = failing ball of **** sammitch.. check their stocks.

Blackberry = corporate fail, good comm device.. everything else is 10 years behind.

iphone = boring plus your instantly enrolled in a group of 10 year olds and wanna be tech folks ... and mothers...any phone an old woman is comfortable using is a phone i do not want.
[Droid Incredible General] r3dlined:
Well I had to trade the INC back because there was dust collecting under the screen. I am absolutely in LOVE with the phone compared to the X. But the big question I can't decide on now is:

Do I sell my X and go buy an INC retail so I at least have a 1 year warranty on it or buy one used and hope for the best (buying a new one would probably cost me 230 or so).
[Droid Incredible General] r3dlined:
Yeah games was the only thing, but I haven't played one game on my X except for paper toss. Not such a big deal to me.
[Droid Incredible General] Xyp:
I started on an X... rooted it, ROMed it (to the extent that it can be, anyway), and tried to be patient while the devs cracked the boot...and got tired of waiting. I traded it to a friend straight up for an AMOLED DInc after 3 months, and seriously, there's no comparison. I love the freedom to load CM, or Ruby, or SkyRaider on my phone. I love the ability to remap the soft keys on my HTC or use QuickDesk or PowerStrip (neither of them can be done on the X due to the locking down of the hard keys by Moto).

The only two things that I miss about the X are the bigger screen, which I really liked, and the fact that Moto's build quality is very good (it always has been), but that is it. I'll never buy another motorola product ever again unless I hear that it is open- and not because I'm some sort of super-dev, either- simply because I get better support from the dev community whose ROMs I run when I have a problem than I've ever gotten from Moto or Verizon.

The X had pretty impressive specs, but it was absolutely weighted down under Blur... SOOOO slow. I didn't even realize how slow it was until I rooted and ROMed it using rubiX, which is truly an awesome ROM considering how locked the X is, but even then it really had a lot of stupid issues (random rebooting, etc.). Then once I found out that I couldn't connect to the 802.1x wifi at my school (a known motorola issue which STILL has yet to be fixed on the DX and D2), it was over.

I've gone DInc and never regretted it.

As far as the screen, I really think that SLCD vs. AMOLED is personal preference. The colors on AMOLED are suuuuper saturated, very "thick" looking to my eyes. I don't mind SLCD screen colors or look at all, but they're definitely toned down compared to AMOLED.

What about the processor speed? Well, both of them have 1gHz processors, and with the current battery technology we have right now, I really wouldn't want much more than a that- anything faster just eats battery, really. I get some lulz from all the spec queens out there who OC their phones to 1.5 and higher, and who have to have the latest dual-core processors- they're going to spend their whole lives plugged in to the wall cuz their batteries won't last 6 hours, and then complain about bad battery life. My 1gHz snapdragon loads pages, flash, and videos from the web with no problem. I've seen the AnandTech reviews about the DX's processor being slightly faster than the DInc's, but then you have to consider Blur and (REALLY) crappy Moto software and bloat (VZW navigator, Visual Voicemail, City ID, etc.) slowing everything down again. My CM7 / ADW EX DInc is hella snappy, and I get through almost 36 hours per charge (HTC Imagio 1700mAh battery) with frequent use. No OC/UCing, totally stock.

I AM looking forward to LTE tho. That should be a real improvement. Anyway, I'm off the soapbox. Hope this helped? I dunno. I'm sittin here drinkin coffee and saw this thread. Good luck.

Swype beta open and works great on shift!
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] silex:
http://beta.swype.com

I've been using it too, but I did notice that after a reboot or on occasion that it won't swype unless you switch to another keyboard first, type something, and then switch back.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] zeropants:
Same thing here. But, it's working 98% of the time. I have been using it as my main soft keyboard and it's been solid enough to keep going.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] EricSS619:
Had the same problem, not sure what causes it.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cloverdale:
All you need to do is uncheck swype, press home, go back to keyboard settings and enable swype. Then it works. No need to type with another keyboard.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] silex:
Both methods appear to work. Pick your poison!
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] jesusice:
Slightly quicker: In text box just change input method to any other keyboard then change right back to Swype. Don't have to leave the text box.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cloverdale:
Very nice. Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] fifedogg:
The full version of Swype works perfect and better than the beta. It can be found for free if you know where to look ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cloverdale:
There is no full version yet. Check the swype website.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] silex:
I believe this was the suggestion I made earlier ;)

Shifted from my Evo using XDA app.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] jesusice:
Just slightly quicker. Yours says to type something which isn't necessary.

[Android Apps and Games] kiltedthrower:
Okay, so I have downloaded a icons zip file. I see it in andro as an unzipped file. How exactly do I get the entire file over to my gallery?
[Android Apps and Games] add144:
If I'm following you correctly, you have unzipped the icons and see them in Andro but not in the gallery? If so, you need to get Android to rescan your SD card for media files. Search the market, there's plenty of apps that'll prompt Android to rescan for media, or just reboot your phone - it'll scan on boot.

Nevermind. Figured it out.

Hi to all

i'm using MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.5 ROM

and trying to install the HTC Camera from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10546829&postcount=125

but it doesn't work...

can someone help me please???
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shree.cse:
I did exactly some thing along with library files, but it doesnt worked. I installed it and restarted the mobile and it stucked at htc hd2 boot screen image. Wait for Mdj to have this in the build. But only possible if we all request him!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] baraks:
i've posted this in the rom thread there was some response from ppl who want this too but havn't heard from MDJ yet...

don't know what to do this is the only rom that works good for me exept WM

and WP7 is out of the quastion cause it's still lack of good hebrew support and a good gps software

so android it is....

hopfully more ppl will ask for it and mabe in the next realese we all will have the HTC Camera unless there is another way to make it work wich i would very like to know!!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] onslaught86:
You can't install HTC Sense applications on non-Sense ROMs because the apps require an underlying Sense framework, which is not open source and has not/cannot be ported - I doubt MDJ is focusing on this. Same reason you can't use Sense widgets on non-sense ROMs. Gist of it is it that if you want Sense anything (Except that one keyboard port), use Sense. Else use Vignette or Camera 360.

Has been asked many times over, might be worth searching before posting next time. :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Ghostrider:
Sorry Guys,

This Cam don't work on Gingerbread.:(

It needs the HTC Framework, Sense and some other files.

Maybe if in Future comes an Gingerbread with Senes it works.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hawkeyexp:
Hi Guys,

i customized a CM6.1.1 rom for my Desire and modded some apps (translation etc.) and all works fine till this point. The market identifys the apps correct and shows available updates for them. But when it has downloaded the apps and trys to update them it fails because my modded apps have an other signature then the version of the market and this is ok usually. But is there a way to disanle the signature check that updates will install ? The way to uninstall them with titaniumbackup and install the new version and restore the settings is too ugly.....

I hope anybody knows a solution for this problem !?

Regards Hawkeye
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vettejock99:
I am posting this for three reasons:

I want to offer hope to people who may otherwise run out and spend $40 at retail B&M to get a battery.

I want to raise awareness about an issue that likely has some dev contribution to it.

I did a search in all the Evo forums here for posts with "dead" "battery" and "charge" and didn't readily see this information provided.

So here is the "secret" - the charger HTC supplies when you buy your phone provides more amperage than many other chargers. It provides 1A, whereas most others supply 950mA or less, and even non-OEM ones which say 1A do not usually provide it (I know, I have some). I learned this years ago when the HTC Wizards would go completely dead and the only thing that could revive them was the stock charger.

This still applies today, even to the Evo. Night before last I went to bed and my phone was plugged via USB into a plugged in PC as it has been dozens of times before and when I woke up it was dead and would not power on. No other charger, wall or USB would work, and I was traveling so I didn't have mine. A trip to the Sprint store confirmed my phone would power on with another battery. When I got home last night I plugged into my HTC charger and within 10 seconds the light was blinking, and it was solid within 30 seconds. Now it is "fine again", but needless to say I have a backup on the way from Ebay.

Now to why I posted this in Dev, and why I think it should stay here and not in general. Here is what I was running:

MikFroyo 4.4 (upgraded from 4.3, no wipe)

Netarchy 4.2.1 cfs havs more universal (forgot to check whether SBC or not, but I know I have run SBC and MORE kernels before for a couple days at least with no issues)

Launch day Evo, hardware 003

I think if mods move this to General then many fewer devs will see it, and I do think the SBC kernel probably played a role in this thing dying. I am NOT trying to blame the SBC dev for anything - this is all my responsibility, but if others have this problem and report ROM, wipe status, hardware rev, and kernel in this thread, maybe we can isolate what causes the problem. Regardless of what is decided, everyone who flashes should know about the charger issue so I hope this helps some folks.

Mark
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknownforce:
I've owned a Diamond, a Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2 (x2), and an EVO. They ALL came with the 1A charger. I've NEVER had a battery die.

I've also used SBC, and although it provides substantial battery life, I removed it due to the fact that LI-Ion batteries are not supposed to be HELD at a 4.2V charge. But that's beside the point here...

The point is HTC Chargers have been this way for quite some time and being phone manufacturers for 14 years, I think they have sufficient evidence that their ways work. They wouldn't put out a 1A charger if it was known for killing batteries. After 13 years and collecting feedback about them all, if this was a problem, they would have provided a different charger.

You simply got a bad egg. It happens. Batteries are known for getting bad ones every now and again.

This also does NOT belong in the development forum... because there's nothing developers can do for a defective battery, and even if there was it still wouldn't belong here, because it's a request/question. (Can you do this for me/us?)

This belongs in the Q/A section.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vettejock99:
This is all well and good but not useful. My post was not to say my charger (or any charger killed my battery), my post clearly said my software MAY have killed the battery and that only a 1A charger, which is what HTC supplies, revived it. I have had it happen 3 times, over 5 years and thousand of flashes so it doesn't surprise me you haven't seen it as most wouldn't. Clearly some combinations of roms/kernels/hardware (including batteries and their revs here) cause it, but when it happens to you it can be a royal PITA. Anyway, I have a dozen other chargers here from Motorola, Nokia, RIM and non-OEM which prove that your info about other manufacturers supplying 1A chargers to be wrong, so maybe you should read and investigate before you thread crap.
