That probably wont work.

I in fact saw an article yesterday, but can't recall the link. (Will look now).

IIRC, you need to modify the USB cable somewhat to get the DHD's USB port to detect an OTG connection.

I think if the software supports usb host mode, with a 'micro usb type a' to 'usb type b' cable you can connect to a usb device. That is if the DHD is equiped with 'micro usb type ab' receptacle.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Blobby:
oh wow, ok thanks ever so much!!,

however, i just need to confirm what three cables you need so i can go out and buy them, i need:

Car charging cable (which one is this?)

Micro-usb cable (is this with the microusb male on one end and a standard usb male on the other end?)

USB extender cable (is this with one usb male and usb female on the other end?)

thanks

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Blobby:
I'm just having trouble understanding what cables are needed.

On the website you gave me, it says i need:

a car charging cable, a micro USB cable and a USB extender cable.

Is this effectively two micro usb cables and a USB extender cable?

or does one HAVE to come from a car charging kit?

please help!!

Today I recieve my USB Host adapter cable for the DHD.

When I plug it into the DHD and connect a USB Hub the car panle ("Auto Bedienfeld") starts.

Connecting a USB Keyboard to the USB Hub doesn't show any impact. But this is what I have expected. Next I try to integrate the patch from sonic74 to a kernel for the DHD.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bergfex:
I hope you don 't have this nokia cable.

The nokia cable has a micro usb A jack, that does not fit in the DHD.

I make this mistake myshelf.

The right cable should look like the nokia cable, but fit into the DHD.

Additionally you will need a shelf-powered hub that provides its power to the upstream port.

If your hub does not provides its power to the upstream port, you could add a 5V supply.

[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Each and every Android calendar app I tried has the same problem, which is summarized in this picture:

The problem: I can't find any calendar that let's me set reminders the way I want them.

Example: to be on time for a meeting at 9.00 I have to wake up at 7.45, so I want to set a reminder alarm to wake me up 1h15 before the meeting.

In my old Symbian calendar I'd simply set the meeting at 9.00 and the alarm at 7.45.

But in Android's calendar I can't enter the reminder time. It only lets me choose between 1 hour before (too late) or 2 hours before (too early).

The only app that lets you set a custom reminder time is Pocket Informant. Unfortunately Pocket Informant is an unfinished product, and the betas expire soon after you install them.

What makes the limited number of reminder options in all the calendar apps totally ridiculous is that you can set the exact number of minutes in google's online calendar. Zero minutes, 4 hours, 666 minutes, the calendar on google.com/calendar lets you enter anything you like.

Therefore each and every calendar app based on google could have an option to set a custom number of minutes/hours (like pocket informant). Moreover, all these apps could also offer time entry the symbian way. They only need to calculate the number of minutes between the time you enter and the start time of the appointment so that you don't have to do the maths yourself.

So the problem is not google's calendar. The programs that interact with google's calendar are just incomplete. A few extra lines of code would do the job.

Is there anyone who could make a calendar (or modify one of the existing calendar apps) that will let you set any number of minutes in the reminder field? Even better: just enter a time (like 7.45) and let the app do the maths for you (i.e. 9.00 minus 7.45 is 75 minutes).
[Android Apps and Games] Devcomm:
When I scroll all the way down for a reminder there is an option for "custom". Maybe this is just for my phone, the Samsung Intercept. I remember reading something somewhere that the calendar they used was modified a bit but I'm not completely sure.
[Android Apps and Games] rogier666:
Could you post a copy the .apk of your samsung calendar? Maybe it will work on my Motorola too? Thanx!
[Android Apps and Games] missparker76:
I miss that feature so much too!

I've browsed AppBrain site to find something but found absolutely nothing.

This is not the solution but if you have a really important event for which you need a reminder you could add the event as a Task in Gtask. It allows to schedule customized reminders.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Hi, Since I changed my rom to CM7 my market quit showing my apps in the "My Downloads" tab.

I've tried Titanium Backup's market doctor.

Titanium no longer has any market links in it's backups.

Tried clearing cache and data from the market. (The clear options wern't clickable)

Also, tried leaving the market open and Installing an app that I had installed already and tried installing a new app.

I also re installed every single one of my apps manually, only to have them gone from the list the next day.

Newly downloaded apps only remain in my Downloads for a day max.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is it possible to run WM on an Android tablet?

At the moment I have an HTC HD2 running WM and use a load of Apps that would great on a bigger screen, EBook reader etc the problem is they are WM only.

I know nothing about Android beyond that I can get a cheap one on eBay that would do all I want if I could get WM 5+ on it.

Is this possible?

Many thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pmprog:
I'm not sure about the whole running on a tablet thing (though it's a nice idea), but one thing I have learnt, is that a lot of WM software don't do any checks on display size. My phone is WQVGA (240x400), and very few things actually use the screen correctly (mainly graphical ones such as emulators and games. ScummVM works nicely though)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] farukb:
my "answer" is just: WTF??? WM on a tablet....instead of android...?

and my advice is to try android a bit and you will find it very intuitive and handy and you will never wish to go back to WM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mec1234:
TBH I have not had the chance to play around with Android so that is good advice.

The problem is that some of the apps I need are WM only and do not look like will get an Android or WM7 update.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] farukb:
apps like?

there is pretty much a replacement for every app

i only didn't find replacement for SMath studio...which is a very powerful math application

since you have HD2 go to hd2 android section and try out SD card roms (not NAND roms since you will have to delete WM) and play a bit with the android SD rom and see if it suits you

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razzman:
So i finally flashed my first custom ROM, yeah!

BUT i pulled a bonehead move and forgot to copy contacts to the sd card :( I did do a full apps & data backup in TiBu before flashing. Now obviously the new rom has apps already loaded so i can't just drop the backup folder on the sd or it will overwrite the existing one, can i rename the one i backed today and restore from that one? OR can i just restore contacts somehow from the backup?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
If you made a nandroid backup, you can restore it and try again.

You have an android phone, are your contacts synced with gmail? If not, you should start saving your contacts to gmail. I never backup contacts, I use gmail and Facebook to store my contacts.

If you didn't make a backup before you flashed your phone, and you didn't sync them with gmail ... how did you transfer them to your captivate originally? Do you still have that data?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
If you did the full apps and data backup.. i believe your contacts "should" still be there. Go into tibu and to the backup/restore tab.. scroll down and it will be one of them that is in Green. I think says something along the lines of contacts. If you click that and then hit data only.. It "Should" restore your contacts. After you do that, you need to reboot your phone before you will see the contacts.

Now, however, it also depends on what Rom you put on. I have done this twice. The first time was when i installed Cog 3.04. I found out how to do that and i did it and my contacts went back on to my phone no problem.. Now, i have installed Andromeda 2.0 and when i tried to do that, swype bugs out like crazy :( . some bug with their new Rom that wont let you do it. I am guessing it has something to do with the app versions or something. Luckily for me, most of my contacts were saved through google.. so i got the most of them back. only missing a few :( ..

So, give this a try.. and see if that works for you..

[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
I'm not sure about that specific directory but I do know there are certain system folders/files that can only be modified with root access. Certain apps like Titanium backup use root access to pull apks from root only folders, without root they simply can't function.

It's only possible because of root access. Without root you can't get to the sensitive info like that.
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
Yep, both /data and /data/data have permissions set to drwxrwx--x, meaning root has read/write/execute permissions, the system group has it too and regular users only have execute permissions.

To be more accurate, the "drwxrwx--x" (or 771) permission indicates the OWNER's permissions, then the GROUP permissions, and then EVERYONE. root will have the same permissions as the owner.

The feature you are referring to is called backlight notifications, or BLN for short. There is an app on the market for it. However, to use that feature, you have to have a kernel that supports BLN. As far as I know, there are currently no kernels for the nexus s which has it. Devices that I am aware of that has supported kernels are the Samsung Captivate as well as the Vibrant. Your only other solution is an app on the market called NoLED, which displays notification icons on your screen.
