Wow. Nobody here uses any of these services?
[HD2 General] kinsago:
I use dropbox - I like the cross-platform nature of it and (although i haven't done it yet) the ability to put stuff in public folders. I don't know about any of the others. I've looked briefly into Ubuntu One (?) but I prefer dropbox.
[HD2 General] badai:
i'm using dropbox. never try sugarsync. my friend who tried both prefer sugarsync because it provide bigger space.
[HD2 General] Wevenhuis:
I have used both on different computers around the house. I currently use droppedboxx, which is an unfinished but still usable windows mobile version of dropbox.

It is my experience that you get more data storage with sugarsync.
[HD2 General] ejyoungr:
I like DropBox better because I can stream my videos vs. having to DL them with SugarSync.
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
Dropbox all the way. Expecially if you buy extra space ;)
[Epic 4G General] FailDeadly:
I've been having issues pairing/connecting to one of my bluetooth devices. I currently have 2 devices paired with my phone and they work flawlessly. The third device worked fine for about a month before it stopped connecting. It was still listed as a paired device, however it would not auto-connect nor manual connect (it would flash connecting for a second, but that was it).

My next step was to unpair and try and start from the beginning. If I unpair and try to pair again, it will say "pairing..." indefinitely. Afterwords, I will toggle bluetooth and the device appears again as a paired device, but I am still not able to connect. I've also tried unpairing and toggling bluetooth, but as soon as it comes back on the device is still listed as paired. I've also tried rebooting the device, but the results are the same.

For the record, I was able to pair and use the trouble device with an Evo without issue. I was also able to unpair from one of my working devices, and pair again with no problems. I'm really at a loss as far as what to do short of formatting the device. Does anyone have any other ideas I could try?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
I sometimes get the same problems but there's nothing we can do about it. DK28 is a beta build that's bound to have problems.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I get the same problems occasionally. DK28 is known to have several issues with Bluetooth.
[Epic 4G General] samuraiinblack:
Is there any way for you to do a hard reset on any of the bluetooth devices?

I know I had to do this with my Jawbone Prime for my Epic.
[Epic 4G General] antila:
I also have a big issues with the bluetooth pairings.

Can't pair any device, actually

But I have a backup data with all my pairing bluetooth devices. I've made that backup from 2.1 Eclair. I can restore it, but it is old backup. So, when I've tried to backup all of my bluetooth pairings with the Titanium Backup I can't restore it with the new data. That is very interesting because I can see all of my bluetooth pairings backups after I'm restoring the new data but there is no restore button. I can see those backups but I can't restore it.

Can somebody give me the Idea what to do and how can I make bluetooth pairings?

Help me, please?

Thank you!
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I had some bluetooth problems as well when on some of the current EXT4 ROMs.. i have reverted back to RFS and an older ROM build and things work better.
[Epic 4G General] samuraiinblack:
Guys, I would seriously try looking up a way to do a hard reset on your bluetooth devices. I had to do this with my Jawbone Prime earpiece with my Epic running Quantum 2.7.0. I have it converted to ext4 via cwm3 and it works fine. I would suggest giving it a shot. The worst that can happen is you still have an unpaired bluetooth device.

For my Jawbone Prime I had to do a specific pattern of hitting the talk and Noise Assassin buttons. It paired up immeditately with my phone. You may have to do similar with yours, depending on what you have.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I installed a brand new Parrot MKi9200 in a van for one of my customers. This parrot piece would pair with my phone but not connect. This was running an EXT4 version of Bonsai. I grabbed my boss' Fascinate (stock 2.1) and it paired up just fine. I went back to an RFS only version on my phone and it paired perfectly.

Also as was previously mentioned, resetting your bluetooth device after a ROM flash can help with connectivity issues.
[Epic 4G General] darkfire79:
I think I found a fix for the pairing issues on DK28+

I had to turn off bluetooth, the adb shell, su, go into /data/misc/bluetoothd/ then I renamed/added _ to the file there. "mv xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx_" (which should be the MAC address of the phones bluetooth radio)..

Then turned back on bluetooth.. And that fixed pairing. Good luck.

[Defy General] shad0wboss:
I'm asking this because i heard on other forums and also saw it on youtube that some people who got 2.2 update on defy (o2 germany i believe), some of them have 1ghz cpu on stock...so if someone can confirm this if o2 2.2 update actualyl increases the clock speed to 1ghz?
[Defy General] shad0wboss:
no reply? does anyone even know anything about it?
[Defy General] curselayne:
Feel free to read the Android dev forum. Instructions on there to flash your phone and up your clockspeed, at your own risk! People already running at 1.2 ghz.
[Defy General] Le_Poilu:
2 separate things:

1 . You can have 2.2 on the Defy via leaked ROM => see Defy dev section

2. You can very easely overclock your Defy to 1Ghz => read the forum

This 2 things are not related, 2.2 ROM are not the cause of the overclocking. Overclocking is an user settings
[Defy General] kastraverde:
I've seen that there's Gingerbread for Milestone that, just as Defty, has that nasty bootloader. Can Gingerbread ever come to Defy?
[Defy General] alfax:
I join the question...
[Defy General] cabbelo:
i'm using one of the leaked versions and it's working pretty well ...
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Actually many reported the leaked Chinese Froyo was default to 1ghz.
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Not as long as the bootloader remains locked. One of several things needs to happen: Moto releases a Gingerbread for Defy (or it's leaked), the bootloader is cracked, or a new bootloader that is not locked is released.
[Defy General] shad0wboss:
Well, if yur queston is thatDefy will be able to hanle Gingerbread then:

http://androidcommunity.com/lg-optimus-one-series-will-receive-android-2-3-20101209/

LG optimus one is getting 2.3 update ad it has half the performance compared to Defy, so yes. BUT as you can see Motorola is takingAges just to release 2.2 for Defy, i doubt they'll release 2.3 and that might be when the Defy would be quite old so i really doubt it.

I wonder which cellphone gets HoneyComb (3.0) pre installed xD
[Defy General] Step666:
That's got nothing to do with whether or not the Defy actually gets Gingerbread though.

It all comes down to the choices made by individual manufacturers, not the relative specs of various handsets.

Google have stated that Honeycomb is for tablets, not phones.

Then again, Froyo supposedly isn't for tablets but that hasn't stopped companies releasing ones running it, so who knows.

Certainly the proper dual-core utilisation that Honeycomb will bring would be useful for the likes of the Optimus 2X or the Atrix, so there'd be some motivation for manufacturers to use it.

But, at the same time, I have no doubt that Google will release a handset-oriented version of Android that will add features like that.
[Defy General] shad0wboss:
You just repeated what i said by proving me wrong lol. Read what i actually wrote.

I said that performance wise, yes defy can handle 2.3 BUT when it's taking ages just to release 2.2, what do you guess about 2.3 comming to defy and we actually don't know if they plan to do that or not. That is motorola's choice
[Defy General] Step666:
I understand that you said it can handle it but linking to an article about LG is a waste of time, it has nothing to do with the Defy in the slightest.

All you're doing is confusing matters.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntstubble:
Hello all,

I purchased a Nexus S from Carphone Warehouse in the UK, actually two, one for the misses too (yes, I am a sucker)... both are SIM free, non contract.

Mine is behaving very strangely indeed:

When the phone is powered off, and I insert the USB charger, it automatically powers on.

When the usb charger is plugged in and the phone is switched on, it charges. However when I power the phone down, it gets stuck and freezes.

If I plug the USB cable into the phone while connected to a PC, it will always show that it is charging the phone, however total hit and miss (usually miss) if I get the notification to select to enable the USB storage (the android logo)

I am on:

Android Version 2.3.2

Baseband: I9020XXJK8

Build: GRH78C

The other annoyance is that we travel around the EU a lot, and seems that if we insert a non UK SIM it will always show the roaming icon. Very annoying indeed as it confused the hell out of the misses as she thought she would be paying more for calls and data... had to explain that there is no way it is roaming LOL.

Anyone else encountered these problems please?

All the best

It sounds like you might have a defective phone to be honest. You might want to exchange it.

Sent from my Sublime MoDaCo Nexus S running Netarcy's amazing kernel!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivemaster:
That definitely sounds weird as far as the booting up when plugged into a charger goes. The phone screen will turn on showing a battery charge icon if the phone is off and plugged in, but it shouldn't just boot up. I would def take it back and get a replacement if possible.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuntstubble:
Thanks for the replies guys...

Yesterday I went to the CPW shop where I bought the handset, which was exactly one calender month from date of purchase... only to find that their policy is to do a direct exchange on faulty handsets within 28 days :-( .... butttt the nice fella on the till put me through to the HQ, I explained the situation to them and they gave me an immediate exchange, even though they did not have to. New handset seems to be working fine. So I am very pleased with how Carphone Warehouse dealt with me and the problem.

All the best!

apologies if i have posted in the wrong section or have asked something that is already ina thread

any info appreciated

hi

best way to mod it : start with cooking your own ROM,search here for os kitchen and learn how it works

good luck;)
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
A simple way to boost up the speed is to remove all unnecessary tabs from the homescreen. They may look pretty, but in time, you'll find many of them practically useless.

Windows Mobile itself can handle SMS quite well. I've tried keeping more than 20,000 in my old device (Asus P750), and it barely slow down.

But it's different with the addition of HTC's Sense. HTC Messaging can handle around a few hundred messages with noticeable lag. Give it 1,000 messages, and it struggles. If you don't need to keep messages, delete as often as you can. And try to limit the number of contacts too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdm362:
Anyone know of a better app to manage the letter scroll in contacts. They are so little and hard to properly touch for me.

All ideas welcomed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
As opposed to grabbing the tab once you scroll?

Or just pressing the alpha letter on the far right?

You can use the google search bar if you have contacts searchable... or by pressing the search button if you dont use the widget.

I guess you know the scroll left/right to message/phone too right? If not, read the General Sticky.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antioch216:
Hey guys, I'm eligible for an upgrade on the 10th and have been pretty set on getting the Atrix since the CES announcement. I have the iPhone 3G now and I'm more than ready to jump to Android and being all about technology and gadgets, the Atrix's specs alone make me want it today! But I have a couple questions regarding it and I'd like to hear your answer or opinion.

Being a freshman in college and already having a nice laptop and stuff, I wouldn't need or purchase the laptop dock. And I wouldn't really need the Media dock either...so Ive kind of been questioning whether I should get this or wait for something else.(it's just those specs, they're so good!)

And I also don't know what the 4G would do to my current plan where I grandfathered into unlimited and that's what I have now. I haven't heard much about what would happen if someone with my plan goes to a 4G phone, would I have to get a tiered plan or could I keep my unlimited still?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
http://bit.ly/hvgato

Read that. Prepare to be let down.

Oh and just to save you the time, it will require you to get the tethering package if you get the laptock dock abd that will effectively kill your unlimited data.

Being on my school's WiFi, that twitter post is blocked so I can't read it, so I may need a quick recap of what it says...

But what would happen since I wouldn't be getting the laptop dock? Would it still make me have to get a tiered data plan? I thought unread somewhere on here about the computer in the store recognizing that I had unlimited and would keep that, as if 4G didn't effect it at all...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite GunnerX:

Im getting my atrix from US that's AT&T.

Is it possible.

This may be a noob Q but helping is nothing wrong.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
You can use other networks, just have to have the sim unlocked first. You will probably need to flash a radio as well
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivek90:
OK

So its not possible to just flash or root to unlock. Is it that complicated.

I was thinking of skipping "Paying to UNLOCK". Is there any free way. :)

[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Dear Milestone 2 community,

I noticed that we're a rather lazy community. Barely sharing experiences, eagerly waiting for the first ROM to come out. Maybe it is due to our community is not yet the biggest but I still think we are privileged with our fine device.

Coming from the Xperia X1, we had a thread where we'd post our homescreen custimization. The result was new ideas and lots of eye candy. I hope you play along in this thread and give a fine description (WITH SCREENSHOTS) what your home screen looks like.

FYI: Snapping screenshots is not the easiest thing on a android. However - when you rooted your phone (what I assume have most of us done) you search the market for the app called "Shoot Me" and you just gotta shake your phone to have it copied in a folder on your SD Card etc.

Here I go:

Description: Screenshot is a modified Xperia X1 Wallpaper. Someone ove at the X1 forums made it. Starting the Preview 1 on the left, I have a widget to cover my data amount and a notebook for some notes. Going right I have a big widget that keeps me up to date with missed calls, sms and emails. It's called Executive Assistant. Going right there I have a picture frame (somethign called big picture or so...), weather on dirty paper and a toggle widget.

Preview 2: Some of my fav apps sorted on the left. Going right you see my favourite contacts in animated circles. The right picture shows me simple lockscreen with some snow flakes falling forcasting my local weather (animated as well...). Shoot Me is not so good in capturing animated things...anyway, it serves our purpose...

Hope you like the idea of the thread!
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
What app did you use to change the lockscreen?

I'm still using the stock one...

Edit (on PC): Now adding my screenshots......can't post links so: hxxp

I use ADW Launcher with a mix of two themes: Black Glass (some icons) and BuuF (wallpaper). Which is one option to Blur Homescreen.

Screen 1: Internet tethering apps EasyTether (for Ubuntu) and PdaNet (for Windows), 3G Watchdog widget, Gesture Search and Alarm Clock Plus (I use DockAwake to make it default).

Screen 2: I keep all my toggles in one page.

Basic Toggles on the top.

Extended Controls Toggles: Air Plane Mode, USB and Led Flashlight

DCSwitch: the best app to enable/disable 3G data connection.

Volume Ace Pro: Control all kinds of sound your phone makes. And profiles on Pro version.

Root Explorer: Explore all your filesystem

Market Enabler: For not american phones, access to US Android Market

Screen 3 (default) : Some stock apps.

Fring: Multiple accounts messenger like Ebbudy.

AppBrain: Reinstalled all my apps after messing up with Milestone Overclock app

Overclock: 1.25GHz @ 62 vsel, by the way wich config do you use?

Screen Filter: Configs the screen light in a better way.

Atlantida: Regional radio station app

Screen 4 : My music players, XDA, Dropbox, Calculator, Messages, Titanium Backup and Metal Detector (Uses the magnetic sensor, that is used to open the dock station app too)

Screen 5 : Rarely used apps

Led Disco and Led Tester are nice to play with the RGB notification led

Rom Manager: I was able to install Apex Rom 1.3.1 for Droid 2 without problems, but with no cellphone connection since models have a different antenna. I have a nandroid of it.

ConnectBot: use to connect via SSH to my iPod 3G.

Well that's it. Uff...

Edit: added images, are they too big? I don't know how make them smaller...

Thank You dangpzanco. I hope you don't mind - I put up your screens so its easily accessible for everyone.

I have not over or underclocked my cpu yet. I'd probably rather downclock it to save battery. But I prefer to leave it alone, haha. Some questions: what is fring for, what app brain (like backing up with Titanium Backup?). MarketEnable seems like a nice things - are there plenty more apps then? And what is Dropbox for? Moreover you seem to use a lot of player :eek::D
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
I don't mind :D Thanks!

Fring: login to MSN, GTalk, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM. All unified. It was quite famous on Nokia S60 Symbian phones, I had a Nokia E51

AppBrain: Manage all your apps (update, install, unninstall, regional/custom search, BACKUP online but only the list not the apk)

Titanium Backup: local backup, freeze system apps to semi-deblur (pro version)....

MarketEnabler: more apps than brazilian app store.

Dropbox: 2Gb free online storage, I use to transfer apps from pc to phone.

Music Players: I was trying to find a FLAC Player for my Beatles collection, only the AMPlayer does it, but it's not a good one.

PS: overclock is safe, just don't forget to uncheck the "autoload on boot" when testing clocks. If you don't, phone will bootloop. In theory you just have to take the sd card out (find out this after reflashing old nandroid).
[Milestone 2 General] BladeMaestor:
Hello,

I'm a new user of android and looking forwards to introducing my milestone 2, only just rooted it today, so will start customising soon, will probably try titanium backup to freeze what I can of blur and widgetlocker looks interesting, is the live wallpaper lock screen (can't think of any other way to describe it) integral to widgetlocker?

Thanks for your help.

[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
@BladeMaestor

The "live lock screen" is my normal "WidgetLocker" lockscreen. Moreover I have this program called "Weather & Toggle" and there is an additional app to get animated forecasts. When it snows, snow flakes come down the lockscreen, when the sun is shining, a sunbeam will welcome you back to your device.

@Blo234

It's called "Animated Widget Contact Launch". I recommend you to try it out. It's really cool.

But folks, how about posting some screenshots of your devices? Would really look forward to see your homescreens and so on!
