thx for ur replies.. lol it's becoming harder to decide between desire and hd2 lol
[HD2 General] Kov3nant:
If you want to run android then skip the desire and get a desire hd. If you want to dual boot android and windows then go with the hd2. If you just want android without dual boot then it's better to buy a native android system.
[HD2 General] THUDUK:
Not sure if this helps but I have just bought one of these microsd cards

http://www.allmemorycards.co.uk/acatalog/SDSDQY-8192-E11M.html

And I can confirm that both Windows Phone 7 and my SD Android ROM run flawlessly, before I was using a class 6 Samsung which I thought would be perfect for the job, but I was getting slow down and restarts in WP7 and the odd game skip in Android.

Now I Don't get a single skip whilst playing GT racing HD or PES2011 on Android and WP7 runs so smooth and fast, In my opinion there is no other choice on the market to be able to run Android and WP7 so well if at all...HD2 what else is there:D
[HD2 General] TheRealGreenVirus:
i got that one, i payed 30€ for it :o. First i thought 8 GB is enough but my SD Card is almost full. I have a question, which builds are the best for gaming? What about the RAM Builds, are they better for gaming?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommeke19:
Hi,

Is there a way to make a personal screen lock.

I'd like to have a screen lock like this

Thanks in advance

Sorry for my english
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaa:
Get WidgetLocker...it allows you to add widgets to your lockscreen. It also allows you to change the way you "unlock" the phone (example, instead of "slide down to unlock", you can make it like the iPhone [slide your finger to the side to unlock])
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommeke19:
I'll try it right now! Thanks for the fast reply ;-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numb3r23:
There are also some other apps to change the lock screen - try searching appbrain or market for "Lock".

The app "Lock 2.0" from Android Apps (filed in Appbrain under Entertainment) allows you to replace the lock screen with a custome one - I personally didnt like it too much, but I think that's what you wanted...

I've an HTC Desire HD and can connect via wifi, I could connect via cable and tether a PC via the phones 3G signal etc However, I was wondering if, in the absence of USB connectivity and no wifi or 3G, would a USB to RJ45 cable be made to work? That is, having a wired ethernet connection to the phone's microUSB port. Obviously you would need an ethernet driver on the phone.

Now I don't have an immediate need for this, it's more a case of 'I wonder ...... '. I've read that USB host mode is not possible but not sure how/if that would negate being able to driver ethernet over the microUSB port. Anyone know for sure?

Dave
[Networking] mrkite38:
I think the answer is not without usb host, and the cable would need to be more like a dongle with a nic in it.
[Networking] dvhttn:
You're right of course. Doh ..... (on my part). But then you can get things such as this ... http://www.saverstore.com/product/2...NIC-1427-100--USB-to-RJ45-Network-connection- ... (first one I found - may be cr*p ).

I have seen this work using a Router with a usb port.

It requires a Linux router with enough guts to do it, Tommato/DD-WRT running, and one must fiddle with it. Essentially one uses the router to share the internet USB connection. It is probably the cheapest and most supported route.
[Networking] Segnale007:
That would be lovely though .. Ill try it later ... ;)
[Networking] LargePrime:
Let us know how it goes.
[Networking] arabiansensation:
Back in the day I had an HP iPaq that didn't have WiFi built in, but I could connect it to a wired network via a small adapter that functioned as a nic. Hypothetically you could find or fashion such a device to function over mini-USB, and then write some drivers to get it to share data with an attached computer. Just my 2c.
[Networking] LargePrime:
If you want to write drivers, you have a whole new level of complexity.

USB port of a router is a known cheap solution.
[Networking] frayedends:
I'd have to second the OP's idea, as it does have merit. Hopefully the work on getting the USB Host working can show some results in the future....

However, I'm in the same boat, where I have a Nook Color running CM7 I use as a tablet, and an N1. I'm also on business in China a lot, and I prefer to use the NC in place of a laptop, although in some places wireless is flakey or non-existent. In those scenarios I'd rather not use the N1 as an access point using the 3G network to run data, as it adds up quick, even when using China sim cards.

It's these situations where a means to connect an android device to a physical ethernet is desirable, whether by USB or by wireless to a dongle.

This is the one device I'm testing out now is a CQR-980 from Cnet. You'll have to google it, because I can't post links. :(

The reason for this unit is it's size (its 3.52 (L) x 2.32 (W) x 1.06 (H) inches), and full support for setting up a secure wireless environment. If it works right, I will pre-configure it as an access point with WPA2, and it should be able to be plugged into any ethernet port in a hotel or otherwise, and I should get an IP on the NC or N1 via wireless.

If anyone else has found a better way to make this sort of setup work, would love to hear of it. The fewer devices I have to bring the better. Yet this is still better than dragging even a small laptop around.

[Networking] lordxentris:
The Phone got to have specialized hardware to enable it to use just that USB to RJ-45 cable.

But in my experience, I could be wrong about it. Don't know what the R & D guys will cook up next. :D
[Networking] chrispazz:
This could make the job of having RJ45 connected to USB?

[Networking] chrispazz:
Also this seems interesting:

Will it work with an ASUS Transformer (Honeycomb 3.0)?
[Networking] cybdroid:
I have looked around a lot on the web for the MicroUSB to RJ45 Ethernet on a Droid, no luck. I have small hardware devices that have embedded configuration servers that are only accessible via TCP/IP Ethernet RJ45 ports and I normally use my netbook for that. I thought it would sure be cool to be able to access those embedded servers via my Droid2G for example, and get rid of the netbook. It seems like the phone can do almost everything else.

I've read about USB host mode etc, and the mini dongles with NIC's in them seem more promising, but I guess there has not been a big enough need for the guru's to go after it. Aparently it may available on the Android 3.x tablets but no able to backport to Android 2.x? Verizon will likely never upgrade my D2G OS.
[Networking] blatadude:
What if you used this but also used a usb extender so you could plug in the phone cable to the usb to rj45.? Then all that would be left would be the drivers.
[Networking] st0ll3n:
With the exception of cybdroid's situation I think that a little wireless ap would work great. I have a little netgear wgr101 that works great.. you connect it to a rj45 port in the motel, and then wifi from the phone or laptop.

The reason i'm on this tipic, is I was thinking rj45 to rj45 on a copier. Then I can set same subnet, and ip range with a crossover cable(or ipx on on the copier). Then I wouldn't have to use a full laptop to troubleshoot...

now i'm not an apple fan but redpark has something for the i- series of apple products to do exactly what i'm curious about... you can check it on the tech journal.

Now that I spend some time reading and thinking, I might even be able to use my little wgr101 if i figure out a hosts file in the android os to direct traffic through the router. And, if I don't have to wear out the usb jack on the device, all the better.

I think I have my problem fixed, just went ahead a posted this as it might give someone else an idea. Might be a solution that even the op enjoys entertaining... I think op#2 and frayedends are on the right track.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emjakmaciej:
Hey guys,

I have this problem with my Android Froyo 2.2. I got it installed some time ago on my htc hd2. With no particular reason yesteday i found out that there is settings icon missing. When i hold the windows key and try to open settings this way it says that this app is no longer installed on my phone. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that it's sd version
[Galaxy 3 General] Breece:
Yes I know you want to refer me to (one of) the lagfix(es).

BUT hear me out first please :)

Bought my gf a I5800 and its working like a charm. BUT after 1-2 weeks of usage there is one thing bothering her.

Sometimes the phone gets completely unresponsive, almost freezes. For example one morning with the alarm, she was not able to shut it off. Same for a phone call which she was not able to end, cause the phone did not respond to any touch inputs.

I have read about the lagfix, BUT it seems that the lags this fix is for are supposed to be like 2-5 secs, but this is more 10-20...

I dont think its normal, Stock ROM. I would prefer not flashing a Froyo build, cause I'd have to install and set everything up again.

Any ideas? Is this the normal lag that Samsung created?

Thank you in advance

Breece

Ps.: For now I am telling her to reboot every other day, but thats not really a solution.
[Galaxy 3 General] barqers:
I was pretty sure that lagfixes erase data anyways.. But I used to have this error on the stock rom and it went away on custom ROMs. some better than others.
[Galaxy 3 General] Breece:
Hm :(

So a custom rom them... right now I am trying a task killer, seems to speed the phone up a bit...
[Galaxy 3 General] disconsolate:
Unfortunately mate, my response is the same. Looks like it's time to re-install the OS? If you want to stay with Eclair then that's fine, but Froyo has a lot Custom ROMS and is appearing to be much more faster, and with the new ROMS being released, Custom Froyo (cooked ROMS) is becoming more and more stable!

Don't forget to back everything up, before you update firmware!
[Galaxy 3 General] Bobbydigital86:
Hi

The JPA/JPB Custom rom in development seems quite safe it doesnt flash the bootloader so pretty much no chance of bricking your phone(i wont say 100% as anything can happen)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] badboys3:
I was reading this forum for couple of days, and by now i know that i can install Windows Mobile 6.5 on my HTC Tytn 2 (curently having Windows Mobile 6.1). And i can install android (while still having Windows Mobile 6.1)...

1. But can i install Windows Mobile 6.5 and then install Android (preferably froyo 2.2), so that at the end i have both of those sistems?

2. And if something goes wrong, or i simply dont like one of those, can i remove one of them?

3. Or can i even remove both of them and go back to my wm 6.1?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] -Rif-:
Hello and welcome to the forum :)

The answer for all of your question above is :

Yes you can ;)

first you have to realize that only one system can be flashed on your device whether it is Android or Windows Mobile. So, if you want to try both on your kaiser you could flash WM 6.5 to your ROM and install run android on your SD card by using Haret.

and if you want to revert back to WM 6.1, you can always flash your stock WM 6.1 ROM.

Here is some guide that might help you ;)

1. How to flash

[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)

2. How to install android on your SD card

how to install with atools and haret

you can download atools and its requirement here :

Atools: all android tool you need

3. Where you can find stock WM 6.1 ROM

- download from official HTC website

- or search here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/

follow all the steps on each guide carefully and good luck :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] badboys3:
Than you very much.

[Droid Eris Android Development] gospodinwizard:
Just thought I'd share that I ran across an issue with Titanium Backup and CM7-based ROMs. On all the other ROMs I've tried, when I backed up an app with Titanium Backup, it would also include in that backup associated data. This doesn't seem to happen with CM7. On CM7, I installed an app to keep a running log of my blood pressure (had to promise the doctor to do this). I used TB to make a backup and also used the option to make a data backup on the SD card. Then I decided to go back to CELB Froyo 4.3. I put the TB backup and the SD card backup on my SD card and flashed CELB. When I used TB to restore the app, no data at all was present. When I tried to restore from the data backup on the SD card I got an error saying that "the database is corrupt" when I tried to run the app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
Sounds like an odd hiccup. I have gone back and forth several times and TB has been nothing but solid. All data was returned when I restored my apps. Worked moving TO Gingerbread, and going BACK to Froyo.

Sorry to hear your info is gone. Have you tried going back to the first configuration and trying the backup again? Did you nand?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Retrogress:
both the CM7 roms for the eris are still RC versions of CM7, once we get a full stable release everything should be smooth
[Droid Eris Android Development] amfetamine:
You're going from one OS version to another; one SQL version to another. No guarantee they handle the data the same way from one to another.

Just like any major software migration, backwards compatibility isn't always an out of the box, smooth transition.

The cm7 in gsb isn't even a RC. Just a nightly

[Nexus S General] GuestK00216:
Not unless you really love NFC.
[Nexus S General] thepro8:
disagree. This will allow users to share contact info directly from phone to phone. it will also allow you to write to NFC tags which can be very cool. So for example, I have a watch I wear that is a NFC tag with 4k of memory. With the new release I can write change the content of what is on that tag. Right now I keep it as my contact info.
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
Who said major bugs won't be fixed? Clearly google decided to showcase 2.3.3 because of the NFC thing. Fixed bugs has never been showcased in change logs by google. So there is still hope!!!
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
I once had the idea of using NFC as input for password, like an electronic key. This will allow greater convenience once device level encryption is supported. I hope this can be realized some day.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Yeah, the idea of true changelogs is apparently alien to Google's Android team.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Hehe they take their cues from Team Douche ;) I'm sure there will be more fixes and alterations than that post implied so I wouldn't be too worried about it not stating specifically what is changing.
[Nexus S General] thepro8:
The hardware supports it. NFC with a secure element provides a new level of security. Just needs to be implemented in items. they already have house locks and car door locks that use this type of system. Just need PCs to adopt it too.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
My understanding is that technology uses RFID not NFC.

I'm eager to see if Nexus One owners can recreate the keyboard glitch I made a thread/video about.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
lol man just get smart keyboard and give it a gingerbread skin
[Nexus S General] zeeklancer:
Your obsessed with that glitch I think. I tried like 20 times while watching the vid and could not get mine to glitch out.
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
Yes, total bull**** if you ask me. Just a play to force Facebook's hand at the expense of Android's biggest supporters. So basically I'm screwed until Facebook makes the change Google is hoping for. Thanks, Google.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Yes, it's true, I am, but with just cause. I type on my phone every day, and the glitch occurs every time. I guess I post about it often because it's not getting enough attention, despite the glitch being real and a legitimate hindrance to the overall Nexus S experience.

I have Smart Keyboard Pro (that's what you mean, I assume?) installed and it has glitches of its own. Really! It doesn't have the double letter issue, but it misses keys and space bar presses. Something about it doesn't seem "optimize" for 2.3. I say this because SKP runs beautifully on my sister's Vibrant.

But yes, I'm eager to hear if Nexus One owners can recreate the glitch because it'll mean more attention is brought to it. I don't mean to hi jack the thread or anything, so yes... I'm also just waiting. No update so far. It's funny when I try to check, and the phone says "your system is currently up to date" and I'm thinking in my head, no it's not. ; )
[Nexus S General] BiGMERF:
nicely said and i agree 100 percent !
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I mean, you can put it that way but you could also look at it from Google's perspective: No other apps are immune to their rules and allowing one to do something that goes against their app regulations opens the doors to others. Also, I wouldn't say that Facebook is Android's biggest supporter. Facebook apps are available for every platform and this is because Mark Zuckerberg wants you to be on Facebook at all times, everywhere. It has nothing to do with supporting this platform or that platform, it has to do with cultivating a debilitating addiction to his cash cow.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Ah... been trying smart keyboard pro myself and it seems pretty good so far. I like being able to adjust the key size and adding bottom padding. I know the iphone keyboard is still better... perhaps you should switch =(
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
Google provided the functionality for a reason: it can be incredibly useful. Many people, myself included, have been relying upon this functionality. I use Facebook as a legitimate networking tool. All of my Facebook friends are just that...real friends. It is very helpful to automatically have their photos and e-mail addresses synched with my phone. Now dozens of contacts will suddenly not have e-mail addresses and I will have to input them manually. This creates a real life major pain in the ass problem for me.

I understand the policy change and agree to an extent. A more elegant solution would be to get Facebook on the same page FIRST rather than pulling the rug out from under the feet of the end user to force the change.

Edit:

Oh, and I wasn't referring to Facebook as Google's biggest supporter. I was referring to Nexus S users as their biggest supporters. I've had five Android phones beginning with the G1. I rely upon Google Docs, GMail, Google Checkout, and other Google services heavily. I even religiously provide feedback on the CR-48 they sent me. Many other Nexus S users are also big supporters of Google and Android as a whole. This stunt will piss off as many people as delaying the N1 gingerbread update did.

[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:

[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
The issue is you're assuming that Google is just doing this as a surprise to everyone when in reality the more likely truth is that they have been pushing Facebook to do exactly what this is forcing them to do.

I don't believe that means he got it, I believe he was saying that when the update is added to the CyanogenMod7 releases it will be great.
[Nexus S General] mhaedo:
No, I think it's logical that they would have made a request before forcing Facebook's hand. My point is if they want to play hardball, don't do it at the expense of the end user.

[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
Aaawww.. : (

so what was the code to push the upgrade faster?

~Sent from my Nexus S with Swype~
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
1) Because Bionix 1.2 isn't based on 2.3.2 and Google's servers can read that so they tell you to update. Once you try to update you will bootloop.

2) Sometimes you will get the update notification on custom ROMs sometimes you won't. Its a tossup but to actually use them you need to be on stock.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
There is no code to push the update faster...you just have to be patient. Google said it may take a few weeks to get the update out to everyone so its clear they're taking it slow. Wait and someone will upload it and then it will start be added to custom ROMs.
