[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
Some fair points, but let me comment on the audio stuff. From what I've heard gapless playback is dependent on file format. So to say WP7 does not support gapless is correct as it's not guaranteed to work.

Agreed, how android can claim to support exchange is beyond me.

Correctly working software does not influence sound quality, except through dsp software. It's true that (closed source) Android audio software is poor. Look at good opensource software, e.g rockbox or foobar2000, and you will see how infinitely superior to toy attempts like WP7. Only when you give 3rd party apps file system access (to access and organize music files directly) and multitasking will you have good audio support in WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Before WP7 I also thought that software couldn't influence audio quality a lot. Now I see it does. And yes, I tried Rockbox e.a. I don't know how WP7 does it, maybe via properly written DSP drivers, maybe by paying chip manufacturers for some proprietary stuff, but the difference is huge.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
If it's a software or hardware dsp issue, then there is a problem, since dsp should not be applied by default. Another possibility is HTC, producing a device named after a great composer, put in a decent headphone amp. These can be very bad and alter the frequency response or have an audible noise floor. A rightmark test will show this, but good on HTC if it did this.
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Hey,

I get this issue at times where when I select a text input box on the droid pro and start using my physical keyboard, the first letter I press gets doubled e.g. "ddoubled" This happens fairly often so I was wondering if anyone of you are experiencing the same thing.
[Droid Pro General] StingRay_:
I've been having that problem as well...seems like it's just been a recent occurrence because I don't remember it happening this much previously...
[Droid Pro General] budwiser0240:
happening to me as well_
[Droid Pro General] macooper79:
Same here. Didn't notice it when I first got the phone. Seems like a recent issue. I haven't had the issue for a day or two. Odd
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
Although I've experienced other issues this one is new to me and I've yet to had the pleasure of encounter it. Hope it stays that way!

Did any of you try a factory reset or an SBF reload?
[Droid Pro General] kjjb0204:
Same here. Very annoying. It also sometimes misses the first letter on mine. Especially when using the instant search from a home screen.
[Droid Pro General] rosenbaa29:
i would do a factory reset, and make sure you have the current OTA software
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usg9652:
I have deleted the stock messaging app and installed Handcent. Whenever I receive a text message, I receive two notifications. The first is the stock messaging envelope icon, followed by the Handcent icon. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Wrong section. Also, I thought even the Handcent Market page tells you that you need to disable notifications in the stock messenger.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew378:
Yeah, wrong section, but just go to settings in the stock app and disable auto-retrieve.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usg9652:
My apologies. I will try elsewhere. But, fyi, I cannot change the settings in the stock app because I deleted it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBryan:
why delete it, just leave it and turn off the notifications for that app.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usg9652:
It has already been deleted. Otherwise, I would turn off the notifications in the stock app. But I cannot open the stock app to turn off the notifications because it no longer exists in the app folder.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew378:
Okay, um, extract the MMS.apk file from whatever rom you're using (adb or root explorer) and copy it to /system/app. Then open the apk from /system/app and install. Then open messaging and change settings. Hope it works!

Hey forum cop's, this Guy came looking for help. I don't think he needs to be told its the wrong place 4 times. When did linuk/forums/XDA become more about putting people in there place and less about just helping?

If you reflash you should not lose anything.

But same as others have said with putting back the stock app or just reflash the rom you ate using should do it. As long as you have not changed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kosmo43o:

[Nexus S General] Ulukita:
Just jumped from the N1 with an unlimited Android Data plan.I've been scratching my head ever since I purchased my off-contract phone, as to why I was getting ridiculously slow speedtest results (58 kb/s /38 kb/s with full green bars) avg. I'm not sure if everyone did what I did but I took the sim card out of my N1 and activated the phone w/ T-mobile by calling in the IMEI. Turns out my N1 data plan (according to the service rep) was for the 3g service and the NS apparently uses a newer 4g service.The rep made the change and told me it should go into effect in about 2 hours and I've just rec'd a text stating that my web plan has been changed. Going to wait to run the test a bit later tonight to see if I can pull in faster speeds with speedtest. If you aren't getting the speeds you think you should here in the US with optimal signal, a call to Tmobile to verify that you the correct. Going to activate the sim card that came with the phone just to be on the safe side too. Hope this helps anyone out there reading this :)

UPDATE! Man I feel stupid lol but that seems to have done the trick. Just pulled 1542 kbps/ 376kbps. Should I expect higher? Just looked at the Tmobile website and Android Mobile Web - Unlimited has been changed to 4G Web- Unlimited.
[Nexus S General] mazodude:
Just a note: NS can not use 4G
[Nexus S General] simms22:
i get an average of 4500-6500kbps here in brooklyn.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
From what I understand, it can benefit from 4G to the extent the 3G network it would otherwise use is slower than what it is internally capable of handling, it just can't take full advantage because its hardware antenna is limited to a 7.2 mbps transfer rate.
[Nexus S General] Ulukita:
Back again

I just did the same test and now I'm pullin in 400kbps/ 376 kbps. I guess I'm just not in a good area :) Will try again tomorrow in a different part of the house. TY for the info everyone.
[Nexus S General] vapor311:
Not entirely correct. While it doesn't boast full hspa its capable of higher than standard 3G speeds by using the 4g network. However unless using a custom rom you won't be able to see when it's on hspa.
[Nexus S General] vapor311:
I can pull 1840/590 frequently.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
The Nexus One can also pull data off the HSPA+ data network (mine was averaging 4Mb/s after T-Mo upgraded my area).

My Nexus S can't seem to pull nearly that amount though. I need to pull out my N1 and test both in the same location to see if network performance has deteriorated in my area overall, or if the NS just isn't hauling the load properly.

Others have reported success in increasing data speeds with a call to T-Mo and changing to 4G account type in other threads here, so the theory is sound, assuming you're on an old account with some bad data plan. I clearly wasn't, based on my N1's performance, but the N1 was my first T-Mo phone/sim.
[Nexus S General] Ulver:
I had sort of the same issue. I was on a mytouch 3g data plan with my nexus s for 3 weeks and one day the data on my phone stopped working but I could still make calls. I called T-Mobile and the rep upgraded me to the 4g plan and its been working ever since.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I am both happy and sad to report that after some minimal testing, my Nexus S is getting the same download speeds as my Nexus One when using the same sim card in the same location off the same speedtest.net servers. I am getting around 2990Kb/s on both phones down, 2000 up. This is happy since it shows no hardware issues with the NS as I had originally thought.

It is sad because T-Mo used to serve up around 3800-4000Kb/s in this area. Not that in most real world uses, even tethering, that there's much difference.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
the Nexus S just cant pull higher than 7.2 down HSPA+ is more about the backend
[Nexus S General] crzymo:
I have thought about making the call but I'm afraid that tmobile might make me switch to the "third party phone" plan for $30 when I pay $25 for unlimited data with my G1 plan. plus I would have to add a text plan and I would end up pay about $20 more than I do now.
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
I've been getting 3mb down since they upgraded my area and I'm on android unlimited web plan.

I just called T-mobile for the second time and asked to add the 4G web plan and the rep. told me that my device was not a 4G device and for that reason the 4G plan could not be added.

Is there really a difference between Android web and 4G web? or is it just name? I'm going to find out. Tomorrow I will borrow my brother's SIM card (from his G2), and do some speed tests.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Col.Kernel:
You should probably Odin back to stock before flashing another ROM, regardless of which one.

Sorta feel silly for asking and posting this but its bothering me lol. The dots on the top that show what screen your on when you swipe left or right. Well i thought they faded out when you swiped to a screen and stoped. Mine sre there all the time. Did or do they fade out or am i losing it? I installed a home app and uninstalled because it messed things up. If the dots did fade how can i turn this back on? Also was looking around for away to do a factory reset but cant find where to go? Thanks for the help
[Captivate General] diablo009:
This looks like a home app feature. Check the preferences of ur home app. Need not reset phone when tinkering with ur home app can do the trick. If ur home app, does not support it u may have to switch to a different home app that has this feature.

[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
The dots don't disappear for a reason. You can tap on a dot and go directly to that page without having to swipe through them. That's why they remain visible.
[Captivate General] bradleyG:
You can't make them disappear, no matter how hard you try haha. If your looking for customization I would suggest ADW.launcher or launcherpro. Both are on the market and I really enjoy both. If you have other questions feel free to ask :D
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Just an FYI, if and when and depending on how the Froyo update comes for the Captivate, if you are running a non-stock launcher you may have issues getting the update.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Don't quote me on this but I don't think so.. You would need r/w permissions and a way to flash or install without CWM. Might be some framework problems also if the stock rom was built without it.

No ADB knowledge needed. Just follow instructions.

1. Download mini-adb Here

2. Extract that and put it on your desktop.

3. Download original image file Here

4. Extract the image file using winrar, and put the extracted file onto your desktop.

5. Go into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to

Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\app and find swype.apk.

6. Take the swype.apk, copy it, and paste it into your mini-adb folder you extracted in step 2. Put it here: Desktop\EZ-MiniADB\MiniADB. The folder should also have RunMe.bat and adb.exe, and also the newly pasted swype.apk

7. Go back into the extracted image file you extracted in step 4, and navigate to Desktop\ota_odex_V1.1\system\lib and find libSwypeCore.so

8. Copy and paste that libSwypeCore.so into the same folder you pasted the Swype.apk

9. Go download HTC sync and install it.

10. Plug your phone into the laptop and make sure debugging mode is on.

9. Now go to your mini-adb folder on your desktop and double click RunMe.bat

10. When the black command prompt window pops up, type the following:

adb remount [PRESS ENTER]

adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/ [PRESS ENTER]

adb push swype.apk /system/app/ [PRESS ENTER]

11. Unplug your phone, and you are done! You can set the option of using swype in your settings!

+1 Thanks if you got Swype Working

ADB KNOWLEDGE

Now that you used ADB to push the files, you can also use ADB to push other things to other places. Just make sure whatever you want to push is in the same folder as your RunMe.Bat....
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] WarBird87:
or you could use the root explorer app and extract the files, move the files and install the apk from there... much easier and you dont have to use ADB
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] convolution:

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mnemoch:
Or just sign up for the beta and install it...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] convolution:
If you take the effort to do it this way, you can always reinstall swype in like 3 seconds, beceause the apk and the lib file is already in ur mini adb folder.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
Now, you may know me for having immense troubles with my network connection speed, reaching .06Mbps (60Kbps) down and rendering my phone's wireless internet unusable, regardless of ROM, modem, or any real variables.

After a new SIM card from ATT and a few lucky Master Clears (where it worked after each session for roughly one hour before locking up again), I think I may have found the cause...Or so I thought. IP addresses weren't the culprit.

What is awkward, however, is that my EDGE service now works, and it's faster than my 3G service. On EDGE, my internet is 3 times faster than that of 3G, again still poor, but an improvement nonetheless. Thus, I've concluded that it's an issue with 3G and either my cell network or my phone's 3G cell chip.

How could I go about diagnosing this issue? I want my 3G service back... I have changed modems several times, and switching ROMs doesn't do anything. Anything I can flash, use Service Mode, etc, I'm game for. I don't want to keep throwing money at ATT if I can't use the service.

EDIT: Signature is showing my current internet speeds over HSUPA. HELP!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28james:
You are assuming that all of those IP addresses are routable through whatever network you are connected to. Perhaps there are some "crappy" towers connected to a piece of the network that sucks and you happen to hop around onto them?

Either way, why not just set the adapter manually using ifconfig to test your theory?
