I think now on the Froyo Rom, the Android Browser is the fastest. You can read about it when you google a lot for differences betweedn 2.1 Eclair and 2.2 Froyo.

Mainly the best Browsers are: Android Browser ofcourse, Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile 10.1. Every of them supports Multitouch, which is very useful.

Ps. there is no need of Skyfire anymore, becouse an Froyo you can install real adobe flash.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxStyle:
Dolphin mini.

And for sites that require more, Opera Mobile and Skyfire...

But i only use them in extreme cases.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strix75:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kreat1ve:
Hey guys,

I think some of us have a problem with our headphone sockets where over time, slight bumps to the connection causes the audio to slightly cut out which can be annoying if you're listening to music with your phone in your pocket through headphones/earphones.

Now I've found a guide to disassemble the phone which i'll leave at the bottom as not to ruin the continuity, but I'm struggling to find a suitable replacement part for the output socket on the phone. You have to remember that the socket also needs metal contacts inside it for the microphone input. I plan to shoot motorola's technical team an email about it but I'm wondering if there are any other people keen on fixing the problem or if they themselves have tried addressing it.

Cheers,

Ed

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] peter9991:
seems interesting.

I've had to send my phone in twice because of this.

Might have this problem fixed now though as i've gotten angled headphones that are really close to the socket. This way there won't be as much pressure on the socket when i've got the phone in my pocket whilst cycling.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] xenosapien213:
hmm... been a long time since I´ve tinkered with any jack-sockets (last time on one of my bass guitars), but shouldn´t you just be able to -probably more of a temporary fix- bend the contact-latches inside the socket a bit so they press "harder" against the headphone jack when it is plugged in?

that way, they should allow for more movement of the jack (which is the problem you are describing) without losing contact.

the only problem is, repeated usage of the socket will eventually wear the contact latches out again over time...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kreat1ve:
Through the course of my research I've actually found a really simple and easy quick fix which works really well.

Spray a bit of WD40 into the socket and abrakadabra! it works!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
Really? Why does this work? Does the WD40 conduct the signal? How often do you need to do this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mightybrick:
Bad idea. Don't use WD40. It will eat away at the plastic and circuit board. It also will attract dust and dirt. Electrical contact cleaner is a better idea. It's safe for circuit boards and plastics.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
Good to know...

Where do we get this stuff? My current milestone is fine...but for how long? My first unit's headphone jack was very bad after a few months.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mightybrick:
Any hardware or electronics store should have it; Radio Shack, Walmart, etc.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] xenosapien213:
the board is prohibiting links??? or only certain links?

however, i would appreciate some more hints on that disassembly-guide you were pointing at, since i cannot find that, either.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CyberPitz:
Have you tried the electrical contact cleaner post yet? Someone says WD-40 works (Which is a terrible idea, hence trying electrical contact cleaner). They aren't cheap and it's worth a shot before taking your phone apart!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] armin369:
Thanks! This is great!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] miatapaul:
this may work, but I have found on the portable devices it is normally more the circuit board it is connected to. The solder joint fails and really needs to be re-soldered. The connection is only supported by the solder, not a good thing, but all the electronics manufacturers only care if they last past the initial warranty. Often all it needs is a hit with a low power solder gun to re-flow the joint, other times you need to clean off the old solder, and put on some new. the joint will often look fine to the naked eye, but if you look with magnification you will see the joint has cracks. A friend of mine is an electronics repair geek, and he can see it just by glancing. I need some magnification, funny thing is he wears glasses that are almost an inch thick, so it is more experience at looking at them.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Twist3:
Thanks for the links. My audio jack has been bad for some time and it is only a matter of time until the frustration will drive me to take the phone apart. It is better now I have some instructions for when that time comes ;)

I tried contact cleaner which unfortunatly didn't have any effect. It 'feels' like a bad solder joint but obviously I can't tell for sure until it is apart.
[Omnia II General] sobe15:
I have looked around the site, and google, but can't find a solution to my problem.

Whenever I am in a call and receive a text message or another notification, my phone (Omnia II i8000GT or whatever), will beep loudly in my ear. I have tried messing around with my phone, but to coordinate with someone to text me while I am in a call with someone else is hard, loud, and annoying.

Is there a simple process in my options that I can go through so that it works the first time?

I would still wish to be able to have the notifications when I am not on the phone, just so long as I do not receive them when I am on the phone. or quiet them somehow, or make it wait till I'm off the phone?

Thank you for your cooperation!

What are the advantages of using an ext partition to store apps/cache/data on an android phone. I have been using an unpartitioned sd card with no problems, but I've seen a lot of people with ext.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Using EXT allows you to put Root apps, and protected apps automatically onto the SD card. With the FAT i was still filling up my internal storage. I can also still use my apps when i have the fat partition mounted on the computer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
Makes sense, thats actually a bigger advantage then what I was expecting. What about widget functionality? I know most widgets won't work if they are stored on a sd card. Does ext fix that problem?

Also, what is preferable, ext3 or ext4?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
So just to make it clear, your SD card is not ntfs, ever.....

And the advantage of Apps2Ext is so that ALL apps can install to the SD card, apps that run 24/7, widgets, and no special coding etc...

Froyo Apsp2SD only moves some apps, and as you mention, moving apps with widgets or that run all the time are going to eventually stop working correctly, especially if you ever mount the SD card over USB.

If your ROM supports Apps2Ext, use it unless you only have a handful of apps installed and you don't need the space.. :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arminsoyka:
so the system treats the ext partition like a part of the internal memory? haven't heard about this option ever. sound very interesting since I'm always out of memory.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yeah it moves the entire app to the card, unlike the stock froyo version that only moves the binary part of the app I believe. Making a 1 gb partition is literally just like having 1 gb of internal storage just like The nexus s etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiberx:
Is making 4gb ext good?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It doesn't do it by default - default allows to move only the app (no app data) and Dalvik cache to SD. But that's enough for vast majority of people - allows to have equal of ~600 MB of app space before you run out of internal phone space.

There is an option to move the data to SD too, but that's not trivial and not part of any stable DT Apps2SD release, AFAIK.

There is no point in EXT anywhere above 1GB, just for that reason.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
As long as you are willing to give up teh space on your SD card. I only made a 512mb partition, and that has fixed any and all storage issues i had.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
1GB it's enough... even with ~120 apps

[HD2 General] CGCR:
Today I received my new HD2 to replace my other one that overheats and has a bit of physical damage. I have NAND Android on it, HSPL 3.0, and maybe a custom ROM.

I have to return it or else I have to pay an extra fee. So my question is, will T-Mobile care if I just send in my HD2 with Android on it? Does that void the warranty on my new device or anything?

I can take my time and reset everything back to the way the phone was before (stock with no HSPL or anything) but that's just a little hassle that I may not have time for.

They will void your warranty if it doesn't come back with stock rom and stock SPL.

if you have a 1008 model you can NOT boot into download mode with buttons! This same thing happened to me when i failed an odin flash and had to return the phone.

1007 model can not be bricked since you can always boot into download mode

So I decided to root my phone today, so that I can use the ad free app, overclocking, etc...

Well, after I completed the process, I was having troubles connecting properly to my provider. Needless to say, I was freaking out, so I did a full factory reflash of my phone, based on a thread I found here.

After doing all that, I'm able to connect to my provider, but I can't get data anymore. I setup the APNs exactly how they were before, and checked every possible guide on setting up the APNs, and did it, and redid it a million times, and rebooted the phone more times than I can count.

I still can't get data back. The 3G thing will flash like it's coming on, then turn back off. I'm so stressed out right now, you can't even imagine. I really loved this phone as it was, there was no need at all for me to try rooting it, everything worked PERFECTLY. Then my dumb ass ruined everything.

Please, if anyone has ever encountered this, or knows why this might be happening the way it is, please let me know.

Other things I've noticed, I can call from my phone, and receive calls from a buddy that's on the same network as me, but I can't call myself from my home phone. It's late at night, so I can't test receiving calls from other networks, and other people's home phones.

That's not a ROM. What you flashed was the Fascinate's full system files. Although some people have had luck doing it, this is a prime example of why you should never flash something that isn't for your phone. If you have flashed the Mesmerize files using Odin to get back to stock and your phone still isn't working. Try using Odin to flash them again. If you still aren't back to a working phone, my guess is that something was flashed incorrectly to begin with.

I hope that you have phone replacement or insurance available if it doesn't work.
