2.2

My Droid Eris has 2.1 and is very slow but it won't open anything I download for 2.2.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
reboot your phone every few days

delete your texts

delete your call logs

install Autokiller from the market, grant it root privilege, set it to start at boot, and use the moderate or optimal preset

install a task manager but turn OFF any auto-killer settings

If you use the email client (NOT gmail, but the Android e-mail app), check the task manager after you have opened an e-mail. Unfortunately, a bunch of apps register to receive a broadcast from the stock Android e-mail app; depending on what apps you have on the phone, a buttload of them might be starting up when you open an email.

Free memory (RAM, not flash memory) is a good thing.
[EVO 4G General] dcarr622:
Hey guys.

Sorry if this has been covered...I've searched a variety of combos and came up empty handed. I'm not sure exactly what it's called, but I'm trying to figure out how to disable the feature where the ringer silences when the phone is moved or flipped on my buddy's Evo. For some reason, the ringer silences way too easily while sliding around on the dash in a car, etc.

If someone could help me out real quick that would be superb =D
[EVO 4G General] fastfreddy7:
There's a setting in the sound settings, quiet on pickup, uncheck the box.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
Alright, so youve got plenty of random files and stuff stuck on your SD card, that just take up memory. What stuff you do remove? If im rooted do i need all of those root files that i used to root my phone?

Whats the best way to clean it up?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Once your rooted you do not need any files on your sd card related to rooting, you can remove those, what i did was copy the entire contents of my sd card to my computer, then formated my sd card from the phone then only transfered back files I was using or needed for certain apps to function. Cleaned it up and gained valuable storage space.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
oh, sweet. thanks for your repsonse. how did you go about copying the files to your computer? like did you just copy and paste the files to...wherE?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Just mount your phone as an external storage device, it will come up under your "My Computer" on your computer as another drive, then just create a new folder on your computer somewhere, then open the phones drive up just copy and paste the files from your phone to the folder on your computer. Remember to keep the file you removed, just in case you forget to move something back that you needed you can always go back into the file and move it back to the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris2busy:
Just FYI..the folder "clockworkmod" in ur sd card contains your recovery and all ur nandroid backups..you might wanna keep that one onboard..
[Fascinate General] FDro:
I was having a little problem with my phone not launching the desk clock app while using launcher pro unless I went in to applications and manually lauched it(before, the home key would launch the app). The way I got it to work again is to take the phone off the dock, launch the desk clock app and then slide the phone back on the dock, check to use the desk clock app in the window prompt.

Just throwing it out there just in case anyone else was facing the same issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdij305:
1. Can I go back to stock and keep all of my apps? I use MyBackup Pro but I think it's only for rooted phones.

2. Where can I get a complete stock 2.1 ROM and Kernel, as in no root. Just stock.

3. Will this help my GPS problem? I'm asking because before I flashed ROMs my GPS worked marvelously.

4. Would you recommend I do this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
1. Save it on your computer

2. Find jfd file in developsection. I recommend you to learn how to odin and get back to stock.

3. Odin back and flash bionix v or other custom Rom. It probably will fix your gps issue

4. Yes I highly recommend using odining back to stock and reflashing
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] villainous_scum:
I have flashed to stock and updated to froyo 2.2 via minikies and gps did not improve. I recommend that you use a custom rom if gps is your concern.

On the other hand, each device is different so it just may work for you if you try it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
I'm having several issues trying to run HTC sync with more than 1 nand build, either daf/clockwork flashed. Current Build is [Feb 02][DL DesireZ v3.4][DL Data2SD/Ext4 v2.7][Nand/SD/MAGLAR]

Machine is Win7 64, all relative drivers for usb tethering, internet pass-through adb the lot are there.

Everything else works, including droid explorer, apart from the sync.

When plugging the usb phone in, I've seen all the drivers install, reinstalled sync several times (antivirus/internet etc off)

In device manager I've the following,

Android Phone

.

. . . Android Composite ADB Interface (Yellow Exclamation)

I've tried changing this several times to anything and everything available to me, no help.

I've then got,

Android USB Devices

.

. . . My HTC (This I've tried changing several times also to no avail)

So all in all I've constantly and meticulously wiped all traces of sync software, Sdk drivers, tried the uninstalling of Universal Serial bus Controllers and refreshing for hardware changes, so the question I pose to anyone, how to get it working?!?!

All feedback is welcome (Apart from use something else for the time being, I'll get to that my anger boils over, just it's there 'available to use' so will try everything first)

Finally got it working, I had to wipe android sdk, droid explorer, uninstall sync, basically I removed anything remotely android related, rebooted, installed hty sync, rebooted my pc and phone (set phone to htc sync by default connection), installed sync, rebooted, plugged in phone and whatdoyaknow!!!

Only took me 4 days :o:mad::eek:
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
I always sync my favorite contacts with Facebook but since sometimes my phone contacts don't have a picture that fits well on the contact avatar of the phone or they're not alone in the picture- I like to use a picture that I added myself on the phone. I've realized that everytime FB syncs with the phone my contacts picture automatically changes to the new picture on FB and I have to go back to the personal picture myself. Has anyone else experienced this same "bug" ? It never happened to me with Liberated Eclair
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Suggestion: Since we have 2 kernel options for FR008, I would make a nandroid backup of your current ROM/kernel and then flash the other kernel and see if you still have the issue. If you didn't experience the issue on Liberated Eclair, then maybe Liberated Froyo with the HTC Hong Kong kernel may not have the issue. Just a thought?
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
I forgot to mention that I'm running FR008 with the HK kernel. What are you running? Have you had this problem before?
[HTC Aria General] mcquill:
I don't think its a bug. It was also present on the stock A&T 2.1 rom that came with the phone.

I think HTC just made it so if you choose to sync fb contacts it will automatically select the newest pictures available. Sadly, I never found a way to bypass it (so I just switched to CM6).
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
I running the HK kernel, too, however, I don't allow FB to sync contacts because this is a company phone and I use the company's Exchange Server to store and sync my contacts.
[HTC Aria General] zamula:
For me it's an intermittent issue. For some contacts the override stays indefinitely, for some a few days, and for one person it reverts to the FB pic with every synch. I have no idea what logic HTC uses to determine which pic to show.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Really? I used 2.1 for like 3 months since I got my phone and I never dealed with this issue. Now on FR008 it's so annoying, some of my contacts switches pictures everyday and I have to constantly revert my phone contacts to the desired picture. Maybe it's not a bug and it's a function causing this, I just wish I knew which one
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
I'm sorry...but I seriously have to tell you, that seeing you quote yourself was by far one of the funniest things I've ever seen on a forum. Maybe it's because I'm a little delirious but that was COMICAL.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
WTF? hahahahaahahahahahahaha Dude! I was replying through my phone in bed and I must have pressed the wrong quote button. I didn't even notice I was quoting myself hahaha. I'll fix it now :D

Back on toppic: This **** is annyoing
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
i don't think its a bug. facebook is syncing properly and pulling the appropriate information. if anything, i'd imagine the bug was with eclair for not pulling the picture.

if you don't like dealing with it, you can always switch back.
[HTC Aria General] guido3300:
Did you even read the thread? I tell my phone specifically to use the picture I asigned to my contacts but it keeps on switching to the picture on FB.
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
yes, i did read the thread. no one seems to have any other information or solutions, so i'd say switch back or deal with it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antlergoat:
Hi all. Ok I've been attempting to fix this for hmmm. 8 hours I guess..

multiple forums multiple every thing...

I attempted to flash from Viper ROm Trinity to the new Frozen

I got to the start up ani screen.. then.. nothing but the lit keys at the bottom of the phone.. and a black screen... couldn't figure how to correct so I thought I'd just flash back to DK 28.

All attempts leave me with a colored screen of death

I have tried various combinations within Odin (re partition, reset time, checked and unchecked) and all the USB ports on my machine (haven't tried a different cable or computer yet).. all to no avail..

Where I get stuck is at factoryfs my screen on the phone turns a different color (pink, yellow, green, blue.. etc..)

I'm exhausted....

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antlergoat:
Well at least I no know why my original move from Trinity to Frozen prob.. didn't work: EXT file system.. didn't update before the flash..

Now to hopefully be able to somehow get back to stock...

I'll try a new cable and report back
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Try redownloading the file or taking out the sd card and trying it again. Odin is very picky sometimes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antlergoat:
So I tried my friends old ass XP machine with a nice fat usb cable.. and BANG... !!

All worked well as it should.

Flashed right to vanilla DK28

then CW

then 3 finger salute to ViperrRom_fRoZeN

I want to make love to this ROM... LOL..
[Android Software Development] Zeeko:
Hi,

Im just starting out devving and for work I would like to build a custom branded pdf viewer that opens pdfs inside program.

What i want to do in detail:

main page - branded to my company (i can do the graphics easily enough)

this page has two options - SOPs and SWPs (these are categories of documents)

SOPs page - list of pdfs in this category

SWPs page - list of pdfs in this category

I know I could just use adilko or other ereader app but i want to make my own.

Any help with the actual code to launch the pdfs within the app so i can go easily back to previous app pages would be greatly appreciated!
[Android Software Development] Zeeko:
please guys i need help, its doing me in!
[Android Software Development] martino2k6:
"Launching pdfs within the app" will not work as easily as you think. Unless you can find a PDF library or engine (however it's called for PDF) you will have to follow the PDF specifications and implement the rendering yourself. Good luck!
[Android Software Development] Zeeko:
I was thinking of reskinning vudroid for my non-commercial purposes - but after downloading all 1422 files on their code repository, eclipse wouldnt accept it :(

I've found a dirty way by converting each 20+ page pdf into jpgs and calling them as a scrollable screen. but i wanna zoom and **** lol. would look so much more polished (as far as my clients see) that i have everything within a certain style.

but alas, as Ned Kelly said:

Just to toss this into the mix, I've had this happen on stock Eclair as well (rooted but that's it) even. It only happens randomly/occasionally, but it does happen enough to be noteworthy.
[Epic 4G General] eheaps:
I have since flashed back to stock 2.1 and have not had this happen at all. Overall my 2.1 stock experience has been fantastic with no little bugs or hangups that I experienced on DK28. Hopefully the eventual stock 2.2 doesn't have issues.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] throughtheblack:
A lot of people are asking about Android on the Wave but I was just thinking one of the best ways to promote bada would be to port it to the Galaxy S or even other phones. I am sure there has to be at least a few Galaxy S owners that would be interested in at least playing with bada. This would vastly increase the potential market size for developers and provide more incentive to develop for bada. So what do you guys think, is it doable or even worthwhile? And if anyone at Samsung by chance is reading this, perhaps you could write an official alternate bada firmware for your Galaxy S customers. The way I see it, it could only help in promoting bada.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] goofyog:
This is a great idea. We should definitely do so. This procedure will promote our system
[Bada Software and Hacking General] iffrett:
I agree but is Bada out yet? I thought it was still under development. Im sure samsung will want to release versions of it out made completely by them before they release the source for open dev
[Bada Software and Hacking General] funkym0nk3y:
hmmm o_O

LOL!!! :p:D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sabianadmin:
Firstly we are on version 1.2 (the 1.x indicates stable) secondly its not open source. Where do you people come up with that stuff??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lasentenza:
lol Bada on Galaxy S that will never happened :eek:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] throughtheblack:
It might not happen, but I do believe it is possible. Galaxy S and Wave apparently share much of the same hardware so I wouldn't think it would be impossible to port. In my mind, I would think it would be easier to port Bada to the Galaxy S than it would to port Android to the Wave. All it would take is someone with the knowledge and motivation. But then again, I'm not a hacker or programmer so I will readily admit if I am wrong about this. Pipe dream or not, I think it would be a huge step forward if it happened.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sabianadmin:
Kill the topic guys, any developer will give you countless reasons why this is a pointless exercise.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] elgo:
Here it is, that wonderful spirit of adventurousness that makes life worth living. Why don't you explain to us some of the reasons that this is a pointless endeavor? I am not a programmer so please enlighten me. I like the idea of Bada being ported to the Galaxy S phones.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] sabianadmin:
Go off and look the other topics i have started. then come back and say that too me. This pointless because we are having a damn near impossible time porting Android over to the Wave even though the entire Galaxy line which has similar (but in many ways different) hardware. And thats with Android which has its source code readily available to any developer. Bada is for all intents and purpose, Closed source.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] duxxyuk:
Samsung releasing the source code would do a hell of a lot for bada. So what if the code is not perfect, there would be a lot of new eyes looking at the code, suggestions and improvements will surely come...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] bangalorerohan:
You know what..After Bada 2.0.1 is officially out and it supports s8500, I think there maybe a port which will take place to get bada on android! It is so cool man! But, at the same time, I see the Android 2.3.4 has many features and animations better that the bada 2.0.1. It is gonna be a tough choice on what you want! I own both bada as well as Android smartphones...So i would love to have bada on my wave and android on my Galaxy SL! I can clearly see the difference and the competition
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
They won't release bada sourcecode, never.

Releasing sourcecode means losing control over software.

Also, they are using proprietary libs of many companies, for example QuRam, releasing source would be very long and expensive process.

Its possible to patch bada 2.0 kernel without sourcecode to get it working on SGS. But I don't believe anyone will do it.

Even if we find out bada 2 is nice OS, almost nobody will want it instead of Android - no devs (nerds?) ready to spent hundreds hours of their time just because of being kind.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] smokestack76:
Me and some others tried it because i wanted to help get android onto your devices. It is next to impossible at this point. I hope newer releases will become a little better :rolleyes:

I would not say its out of question. But then again we always want and strive to get what others say is impossible. Its what built XDA after all :D

So yes i still look into it..and try and try. Maybe one day :cool:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] 73nokian:
i agree with you. at this stage i dont see any advantage of porting bada to galaxy. and yes there are two or three persons willing to have bada on it, but its not enough. maybe in future....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
ok maybe, i would like see every os on every device, maybe this is a fact that everything makes sense, if everyone can choose everything it would be better, than i buy a device pay os license and if i dont like it use another. would be realy nice.

Hello,

I thought posting it here would offer non biased opinions by people, since I'm going be asking that I'm trying to decide between galaxy tab or DHD or nexus s. I'm having a hard time deciding, i love htc devices but sammy's tab and nexus s seem very good also. So, I'm looking for your opinion on this, I know the specs of each device.

Wait either a tablet or a phone? Are you planning on using the tablet as a phone or would you have a regular one for use?

Also, I would say to wait because of all of the new phones just announced at CES and with MWC right around the corner, amazing things are going to be happening very, very soon.

But to answer your question now, what are you going to mostly use it for? Are you planning on hacking or... ?
[General Topics] Michael_robert:
Hi,

Google Nexus uses Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS but Samsung and DHD are using older version. The processor speed of Desire HD is much better. DHD has 8MP camera and other are using 5MP. Comparatively, I recommend DHD tablet.

I just happened to read an article over at pocket now:

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/microsoft-on-hacked-windows-phone-7-and-live-services

titled: Microsoft On Hacked Windows Phone 7 And Live Services

in their vain search for headline news it seems pocketnow made it a part of their duty to have Microsoft look into us getting Live ID keys for our HD2s running Windows Phone 7. Now Microsoft is saying their going to take a hard look into this pratice. who knows what is going to happen if Microsoft is going to ban the issued keys :mad::mad::mad:

by the amount of mad faces you can tell i'm pissed.

wether Microsoft new about what was going on or not, pocketnow just amplified the issue.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Lynehammike:
It was strange that Pocketnow chose to push Microsoft on the issue. Microsoft seemed to be (deliberately?) ignoring the HD2-WP7 key issue. Pocketnow is just forcing them to take a position - which helps noone (except Pocketnow).

I imagine that Microsoft wont be too active in pursuing our phones. They will probably just put in place a policy to restrict new keys.
