[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
I'm not sure it's good to test apps on a phone which doesn't run a native os.

Maybe the emulator from an SDK will be a better "test platform".

But I'm not a dev so take my answer just "as it".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yeahman45:
thx for ur replies.

@emjakmaciej :

you don't have any low volume call or robot voice issues? or no vibration/ringtone problem? what rom are u using?

yup i know hd2 is a developer's dream but i wanna be sure i can still be reliable as a phone! (make/receive calls properly, send sms with all notifications working well)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
As far as I know, I have few issues with my build.

I can't say less than a real DHD as I don't own one.

Latest build (from some chef) are very good actually. And it improves days after days.

My wife as a stock HD2 and sometime it freeze also.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emjakmaciej:
well, actually i have stock rom that came from my providers shop. i didn't have any problems with it so i didn't change it. i'm using android MDJ FroYo HD v. 4.6 with hastarin's 8.6 kernel and everything works great. i only had an issue with mms using other builds but it works now. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yeahman45:
sorry to insist but how would you evaluate the call quality? never had problem with missing calls? you are using what phone model? the tmous version or the Euro version?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kof102:
the hd2 is the phone

i have mdj cyanogenmod and everithing works . the call volume is loud, mms pictures are good, sms is fast, and the big screen is awesome.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cheapo:
I have HD2 and using smilar ROM, and everything works for me as well...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nhan_huynh1992:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yeahman45:
i think i will go for the hd2 finally.... hope the android rom will be stable on my phone... wanna try wp7 too :) thx for ur replies... keep on the rom suggestions which has stable call quality and is also enjoyable.. so that i can try one of these when i get my phone :)

edit: one more question: how is support for video formats as compared to desire? same i would suspect right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
recording or playing them?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yeahman45:
i read recording 720p in android atm is not possible. I was referring to 720p playback
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yeahman45:
i ended up buying the htc desire lol.. mainly because HD2 seems too big imo although i must agree this is a damn good phone but finally i realised that i really want android and not much interested with windows mobile.. so i think a native android phone is better.. thx again for all your help and advices!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pao17:
htc hd2 is much much better!

U can choose between three different softwares and many many custom-roms
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wrecless:
One thing you need to realize it that most people only post in a rom thread because they are having problems. So really most of the feedback you will get in a rom thread is negative but this does not include all of the thousands of people who have no problems at all usually when people have problems it is because they did something wrong and isn't actually a Rom issue Android works %99 Perfect on HD2 you shoulda got one. You are missing out
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mirok:
1. Go to menu/Preferences/Homescreen Settings/ and set "Number of screens" 7 and "Default screen" 4

2. Go to menu/Preferences/Appearance Settings/Dock background and set as custom:

3. Set the wallpaper (be carefull how you crop it!):

or fancy one:

4. Change the shortcut for app drawer (in the middle) icon in to the blank one:

appicon

The "icons" from the bottom of the wallpaper should change in the middle of a dock for each screen.

Enjoy :)

edit: PSD files with few more nice wallpapers.

Please post your work ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ChosSimbaOne:
Could you post your photoshop files? so it is possible to costumize futher?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] GZFan:
The idea is great, I tried it yesterday. But -forgive me- the lockscreen looks very very bad, with that 'icons on the wallpaper'...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ChosSimbaOne:
Don't know what rom you are using, but with sense you can have alt lockscreen wallpaper, and I'm guessing there is a similar app on the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mirok:

Great, thanks man. Will try to costumize tonight :-)

Question, what is the best metamorph framework - res to use on my rooted droid eris? I really like the gingerbread top bar.
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
Have done done searching, but still can't get my phone to connect to my computer. I've tried everything that I've found posted. Doesn't mean I found then all.

I get "usb device not recognized" when I plug on my phone. I'm trying to flash the modem to get my text messaging to work. Windows 7 64bit

DL30 black hole 4.1

Any help would be appreciated.
[Fascinate General] Kaze105:
As most people would say, wrong place. This is a question that belongs in the general section.

Did you install the samsung driver onto your computer?
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
Sorry about that.

Yes divers have been installed a long time. I used to be able to connect. Then about a month ago it decided to stop. I even tried it on a XP system, same thing.
[Fascinate General] mbh87:
Have you tried using a different USB cable?
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
Yes. Tried my wifes. Tried one from my BB. Tried de-bugging mode. Tried rebooting while connected. Lol
[Fascinate General] BrwnSuperman:
Did you try a different USB port?

Also I would suggest updating to EB01 since DL30 isn't supported by devs and is a less stable Froyo build. Uninstall the Samsung drivers, reboot, reinstall and try it again.
[Fascinate General] facinater:
Mine quit working today....i disabled usb debug then did a battery pull. Rebooted..enabled usb all is well...

Sent from my Froyo Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] Kristopherr:
I've had this issue and have tracked it down to my BT dongle. Every time I use it on my win 7 64bit box I have to uninstall the Samsung drivers, then reinstall without the phone or the BT dongle plugged in.
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
Thanks for all the input. It finally started working. I installed another rom and kernel. But now I can't get odin to recognize the phone in download mode. Weird stuff....
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
I just ran into this myslef, and I believe the Fascinate has a bit of a multiple personality disorder. When I went through the Windows registry, I found entries listing the phone as a phone, as removable storage, as a SD card reader and as a CD drive. Nothing worked - no matter what I did, Windows wouldn't recognize it as anything.

To solve it, I had to uninstall the Samsung drivers and then search through the registry, removing anything that said Samsung. A bunch of keys gave me permission errors, but after finally removing them all, I connected the phone and it was immediately recognized as an Android Device. I reloaded the Samsung drivers and everything is back to normal.

A major PITA, but I'm just glad there was a solution.

If you want to try to do the same, uninstall the Samsung drivers, open regedit and search for Samsung. Delete any key that says Samsung (assuming you don't have any other Samsung peripherals). Hopefully you won't run into the permissions problems, but if you do, let me know and I'll walk you through how to get past them.
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
ChrisDDD, thank you. I will try that asap. That is some great information. I will report back my findings after I'm finished.
[Fascinate General] ragarm:
Well finally got around do working on this. And YES it worked. At least on my XP machine. Got some permission problems on my win 7 machine.

Chris, thanks for that bit of info. Only thing I had to do different than most was to reboot my phone in download from the menu that is installed with my kernel. I couldn't get it to work by pulling the batt and hooking up to pc. Funny stuff trying to get this stuff to work.

hi is there a way or some modified files, to

integrate the 3d gallery more into htc sense?

when i install the froyo 3d gallery i just can use it by open the gallery.

i would like the 3d gallery open too, when i using the htc camera or when i use the photoalbum widget from htc sense.

at other roms you just can choose the default gallery app. but with sense everything seemes to be hardcoded to the htc album.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] prabugod:
use x10 android 3d gallery

use x10 android 3d gallery the file name is (Gallery3DMT-1.apk) working perfect.I don't know the exact locationbut downloadad it from xda Sony Ericsson x10 forum. It's 100% working
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTopaz:
How do I link contacts to Facebook contacts so their profile pic updates automatically?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
1) download the official facebook apk from the market and sign in and there will be an option to sync all ur contacts pics.

2)also u can do it the following way after installing the facebook apk, go to accounts and sync in settings, add account and select facebook and then sync.....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTopaz:
I've got the contacts from Facebook that have a mobile phone number entered on their profile. Easy and nice.

What about the contacts in my phone that have a Facebook profile but not added their mob info to their profile?

Is there an app to link those Ki d of contacts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtomicPC:
Go to your contacts and click on the friend you want to "join" to the facebook contact. Edit and press the menu button. Now you'll see "join" and touch that. Now pops up your facebook friends that match.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTopaz:
Awesome. Its going to take a while but glad they are now joined.

Any reason why the contact picture displays with such bad quality when making a call?

Can someone please tell me how to install custom roms in galaxy3? In details step by step please new to android
[Galaxy 3 General] shuvabrata:
Please check the thread under the Development forum.
[Galaxy 3 General] hamsiro:
After reading some posts in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778880, you can just proceed like this:

1) Download the firmware you want as a single package .tar file or PDA, PHONE, CSC .tar.md5 separate files ;

2) Run ODIN Downloader

3) Check One Package only if you have the firmware as a single package, Auto Reboot and Protect Ops

4) Select OPS file apollo_0531.ops or however it's named;

5) Select the firmware you previously downloaded as a single file (ONE PACKAGE) or as separate files (BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC) - it's better and safer not to flash the BOOTloder, just to minimize the chances to brick the phone;

6) Backup everything you need in your phone! After flash your data and applications will be gone!

7) Hard reset the phone*2767*3855#

8) Turn off your phone;

9) Press Volume Down + Home + Power Buttons to enter Download Mode;

10) Connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable. Install KIES if you have driver problems.

11) If everything is OK, COM port will change to yellow in Odin;

12) Click START and wait untill the firmware is transfered and Odin says PASS;

13) Disconect the phone;

13) The phone will reboot; let him one or two minute to do his job;

14) Hard reset again after flashing by dialing *2767*3855#

Happy flashing and Good luck!
[Galaxy 3 General] flores.diane02:
haha your question must be HOW MANY CUSTOM ROMS ARE ACTUALLY THERE TO INSTALL FOR GALAXY 3.

Well there are very few ROMS for G3 and all are almost same to taste.

There are many other devices like HTC,MOTOROLA having many more ROMS like cyanogenmod etc etc etc

I HATE SAMSUNG(for not releasing froyo....gingerbread LOL) but unfortunately i too have G3 and want many many ROMS
[General Questions and Answers] gsu_golfer:
I use Launcher Pro with a hidden notification bar. Because of that, I can't tell when I get a new work email when my phone is on silent. I currently use the native email app with my corporate sync account. Is there any way to achieve an on screen notification?

I wanted it to be like my Tasker+minimalistic text missed call widget, but apparently that's not possible.

Unreadsmscount doesn't support the native app, so that's another one out the window.
[General Questions and Answers] missparker76:
I'm not sure this is what you're looking for but Email Notifier allows you to have a pop up window showing when you receive a new email.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
First of all, sorry if this isn't the right section.

I couldn't find anything relevant, so i ask here: has anybody a standard FroYo browser.apk to use on the tab? Will it work?

Or really, any other browser....

For what it's worth, i'm on a Samsung JK5 rom (euro tab), i have root and number22's gallery3d.apk

Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Locster126:
U should try dolphin mini browser available from the market

Swyped from my sexy galaxy tab
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] -RioT-:
What do you miss about the standard browser? I don't care for the samsung browser much myself. I found that miren browser is a great replacement.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
Thanks for the help. However i didn't mean an extra browser like the mentioned Miren or Dolphin (nor Opera or Firefox or SkyFire)... I meant literally a replacement for the stock browser :D

What i don't like in the stock one is that it force closes pretty much while doing anything!

Now, i don't know if replacing browser.apk will also fix globally the issue, but i sure hope so considering that any WebKit browser i used still shows signs of unstability, as opposed to the same browsers on an Xperia X10 mini pro... That runs a normal Android browser. At the moment i'm using Opera mobile because it's the best one that dosen't run on WebKit, and as such it gains plenty of reliability. I also get all my bookmarks (epic, i tell you) since i've been a desktop Opera user for 10 or something years, but that dosen't fix the built in one, that... Well, let's just say that Apple made a damn fine rendering engine.

So, any more help? If what i think is right, after replacing the "Samsung" one with the standard "Google" one it will make every other browser work properly!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] alex2792:
Yup stock browser sucks,I don't think that it will get much better until honeycomb gets ported to the tab. I would also advise you to try dolphin mini in the meantime.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
Thanks, i gave a try to Dolphin Mini and while it looks better than the hd one, it still crashes too easily. I do have half an idea to make a test...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] YoMarK:
You say you're using Opera mobile, so whats the problem? just don't use the stock browser then.

The only problem I have with Opera Mobile, is that is has no flash support. For the rest it's perfect(and really fast).
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
Sure, i'm using Opera and i get even more features than any other mobile browser, not to mention that i'm with Apple on the Flash subject, but... Put things in perspective: why my Xperia X10 mini has to be the best choice all around for web surfing with a smaller screen, slower cpu, one fourth of the ram and an older WebKit build? On the tab the only sensible choices are Opera, Firefox and Skyfire, as all the others are tainted by the (as usual) horrible coding that Samsung is famous for. And for what? They added support for animated gifs, almost as useless as Flash. I would've used the Xperia browser, but Sony customized it to look blue-ish like the rest of their interface, so i'm sure it will require that whole interface to run! Also, i changed the Samsung ruined gallery app with custom gallery 3d, and now it's a lot faster and it handles properly images.

I could use a custom rom(one built without the Samsung-iness and stable). I could. Thing is, i like the interface Samsung cooked up, it's this close to my idea of perfection, and no home replacement gets even close to this, not even ADW ex.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] brilldoctor:
the 3d gallery app is the same as the HTC google nexus one has
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
Wait, i'm not sure i get it. So the gallery became a lot worse in Froyo compared to the one in Donut but it gained animated gifs? Or it got more organized and Samsung broke something after adding the whole gif thing?

Custom one works perfectly and has no gifs... As far as i know gifs are an exclusive to Sense and TouchWiz.
[Nook Color General] jzh797s:
After trying many PDF viewing apps on my Froyo'd Nook, I have still not found one that supports (well) the embedded links or a novel navigation scheme allowing me to get back to the TOC easily.

Im curious... what are you using?
[Nook Color General] beezy69:
is there a way to do "article view" in DL'ed pdf magazines
[Nook Color General] RootNewbie:
Went ahead and tried pretty much every free pdf viewer in the market. Doesn't seem like any of them I tried let me follow the hyperlink.

However. I did find that uploading the pdf to google docs and then viewing it through a web browser like Dolphin HD allowed me to follow the hyperlinks... Not the best option, by any means.

Possibly one of the paid office suites allows hyperlinks. I'd email the developers to make sure before buying since you only get 15 min to return.
[Nook Color General] RootNewbie:
Found one: BeamReader PDF Viewer will follow hyperlinks. Go to the market and download the 10 day free trial first before purchasing. Looks like it costs $10 for full version.

Also: Reading the description for ezPDF Reader (only $0.99), says "links" under features. I'm guessing this will allow you to follow links.

Please report back if you try it. I'm interested in knowing if it works. Thanks
[Nook Color General] sbeans:
I've heard good things about RepliGo. You can see it in action in the video on the cerience.com website (/products/reader/android). The forum won't let me post the complete link.

If you try it, please reply back with your thoughts as I haven't tried it yet.
[Nook Color General] gsc1134:
I am using ezPDF and am impressed, has TOC and functional hyperlinks. This was the dealbreaking feature for me since I was used to goodReader on the ipad - this is almost as good. Any specific questions - jusk ask!
[Nook Color General] opoteat:
I've tried every one I could find because I'm using my NC to display words to songs during my live performances instead of using the MS Access database I used to use. I've found for my purposes the RepliGo Reader works best for me. Bookmarks seem to work well, you can zoom a page and when you go to next page it remembers zoom level. It is not free but for what it does I really like it.

Next to just syncing your files, there is no backup solution yet, it seems.
[HD2 General] sotmax:
There is a dangerous in our phone and its caused by us and we have to be aware of that.

As many of us keep playing with our phone an ulocking them , modifying etc for some reason and most time to get out from bootloader we take out our batteries.

What i saw and thought i brick my phone is to destroy battery pins from in /out the battery.

I keep having random rebbots from that cause.

So be carefull with that pins and when you plug or unplug your battery always keep in mind of this as it will be maybe a reason not to find a reason why your phone doing those tricks......

Just plug or unplug your battery carefull...

Thats a fair point.....

You could always just use the reset button though ;)

[HD2 General] JonnieLasVegas:
Yeah, ran into this issue a few months ago, with my daughter's phone. She was just yanking it out and putting it back in like nothing. Thought hers was bricked until I fixed the pins too. But good post to warn others ahead of time, because it can continue to give your phone problems.
[HD2 General] SMS92:
I dropped my HD2 a couple of months ago - back cover and battery went flying.. Couple of scratches but nothing major, or so it looked like.

Then I had some major problems with it not switching on, I thought I was in serious trouble.. But a look at the battery pins confirmed the problem was they were bent out of shape and just not lining up (would have happened when the battery flew out with force). Nothing the end of a pen or a small screwdriver couldn't fix!
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
I pull out and put my battery in almost every day and ive never had a problem.

...Then again im not a retard. :p
