Amen to honeycomb! And forget the "official" update. Thanks to xda and some world class developers this is like many have said nothing more than something to laugh at. Keep up the awesome work. I sure look forward to the future of xda and the devs!

[Captivate General] Pierce533:
I have been lurking this site for a few weeks now, following all the chatter about whether or not AT&T is going to deliver Froyo to the Captivate. I am a Captivate owner and just an hour ago I decided to forget about getting a stock Froyo build. So, I loaded my first ROM... Andromeda 2.2. That ROM is excellent and beats out Eclair 2.1 hands down. I don't think I will be turning back to a stock ROM now.

So long to waiting on AT&T and Samsung to pull their heads out of their arses and deliver product. I have the goods now.

Edit: A huge thank you to XDA and the team of developers working on Andromeda. They have turned out an excellent ROM.

the true update link is in the thread i just posted.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris22_2:
Hey all,

Just a couple days ago, my track ball stopped working when I use it to scroll down. In recovery, you need to be able to scroll down to do anything. Is there a way to flash things and do nands without the track ball? I know there is Clockwork, but I don't trust it with the stories of bricking. If anything, all I need to do is be able to flash the flashback ROM so I can send it in and get a new phone.

Any remedies?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chevelle1768:
Have a read here.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoubleByte:
It happened to me. I was trying to flashback to send it back...no trackball. I found that pushing on the phone with my thumb above the trackball enabled the trackball enough to flash the zip. Keep in mind I was sending the phone back to Verizon for the broken trackball, though, so I wasn't worried about breaking it further.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris22_2:
Thank you and thank you!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
By the way, you probably should grab the recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2-trackball-optional.img 1.7.1 version (it has all of the functionality of the "original" 1.6.2 Amon_RA; the first "trackball-not-required" version I built was based on the 1.6.2 source that actually omitted some of the menu options).

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NPH-:
i have the trackball not working during recovery issue as well

I have found, and I am almost certain this will work for you, plugging your phone into your charger will get your trackball to work

If I don't have my cord to plug into the usb, I've used a paper clip to press against the top of the usb port towards the trackball and have found this to work as well

if you have any questions on the process please don't hesitate to contact me
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Actually, most people find out about the problem, or it's more severe when a cord/charger is plugged in.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CPCookieMan:
Does the problem worsen over time to the point at when it does it if it's not on the charger? Cuz mine's pretty bad on the charger.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneAphoria:
I went through this as well. The various tricks to get it to work succeed on some phones and not others, but they're worth a try. In most cases the trackball will continue to deteriorate over time and mine got to the same point where I couldn't scroll down and therefore couldn't use RA to flash. But I needed to flash it back to stock so I could get a refurb from Verizon via my warranty. At that time, I don't think this RA that doesn't require a trackball was available. I asked about if there was and I couldn't find anything about it. Thought about trying to use the RA source and build a version myself but I just didn't have the time and lord knows, screwing that up might have really borked my phone for good, so I get it go. Now that RA without the trackball is out there, I'd use it if you can get that on your phone.

But there's another very easy solution. You can download ROM Manager from the market: ROM manager will let you flash ROMs without the trackball. It uses Clockwork Recovery for flashing and I was concerned at first about the stories of CR possibly bricking phones (in fact this not really a serious risk) or maybe making it harder to return the phone to unrooted stock or something else. But in fact, ROM manager uses Clockwork by only temporarily loading CR in memory, where you can use it to flash a ROM, and it does NOT replace RA! It leaves RA intact on your phone. If you reboot, RA is there. You can use ROM manager to flash any ROM and in my case I used it to flash the easy, return to stock zip that you can find here on the Eris forum. I brought it to the Verizon store and all I had to say was the trackball died and they traded me for a refurb.

BTW, this was a few months ago and there were several threads here with stories about people calling Verizon (not the stores) with tales of woe about their Eris and getting a free upgrade to Incredibles, Moto Droids, etc. if they were very nice about asking. This might have been a time when the inventory on the Eris was low. Anyway, I tried twice times and couldn't swing it - they only offered a refurb Eris. Found a local store with the Eris in stock and did it on the spot.

Now, if an Eris is out of warranty, then the best route is to replace the trackball. There are threads on XDA with all the step by step instructions you need. These are the same trackballs that are used in many of the Blackberrys and apparently those fail frequently and there are a LOT of options available on line for about $3-$5 via Amazon, etc. And hey, you can get them in kinds of whizzy colors ;-p

Hope this helps!

Good luck!

What is the best Android phone when it comes to pictures?

Looking for something that takes good quality pictures, but also loads the camera app quickly. I used to have a samsung a990, which had the twist and swivle screen, making the phone transform into a camera. it loaded the camera "app" almost instantly (compared to my android phone).

sharing the photos was also fast, just flip the phone back into phone layout mode and it was ready to send the photo, asking where it should go.

Is there a hope?
[Android Apps and Games] eizonuts:
might be looking at the wrong platform for now. WP7 is soo much quicker at loading cameras

does anyone know where I can get the little 3 dots on each side of the dock in this pic? Similar to the ones on gingerbread? I cant find them anywhere! thanks!:)
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
This looks like ADW launcher. It is one of the default options when it is installed. I don't use ADW, so i'm not sure, but if it does not show up, I believe from reading around that if you go into ADW launcher preferences that you can set whether or not the screen indicator (dots) show up on either side of the dock bar.
[Droid X General] Saaber:
Launcher Pro will also do that. It has 5 icons on the dock, and you just set the outer two icons to the Homescreens shortcuts. Long press on either one, choose Change Shortcut from the pop-up menu, and select Homescreens. Another menu will come up asking if you want Previous screen or Next screen. You want Previous for the left and Next for the right.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Ah... yes Saaber is correct... I forgot LP also had that option... I just never use them...

Tried Calk's EViO 2, Myn's RLS5, Azrael X 2.1-3.1 over the 1st 3 months after I rooted, all had their various issues. Been on Vaelpak for over a month, love it! Dev is quick to respond to problems, even when they're caused by something in my setup. Currently on v 3.1 RC1 (update 2), v3.2 is right around the corner. Gets better every day!

Swyped on my VaelPak'd Supersonic EVO 4G...
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
It sounds like you want a rom that does what you want and the good news is...you can get it by making it yourself.

Expecting the devs to make something specifically to your tastes especially when most of it is done free of charge is a bit much to be asking.

If you can't make the rom you like on your own then you had better get cracking at fixing the rom with most of your wants working. You said so yourself you are too lazy to fix even a simple font issue yet you want the devs to make all your "i wants" possible. You should at least put in the effort to try to fix the little stuff (font for example) on your own before expecting the devs to do everything for you.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
the bold part made me stop reading until i seen the part about miks roms ... HA its imho the fastest most stablest sense based rom out there !

about the lazy part please unroot your phone then ... lol to lazy to flash a simple file
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
I don't think his ROM would solve many of my issues any way. If I see a ROM "Over themed" then tend to have different priorities. And I don't want to spend time customizing it. I want one that starts close. Also if the doesn't see this a serious flaw then I suspect I would see other flaws.

Again, nothing against different chefs. Different strokes for different folks.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I actually DID read the entire thing and everything you posted works in king's Ultra Froyo, for the most part
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
I may just go to Vaelpak again (Definitely high on the list). I might just wait for V3.2. His updates are bit confusing. If they are primarily to fix "theme" issues I don't care. Again he has a high priority on Themes. That's fine, lot's folks love that stuff. I don't care about themes.

If VaelPak did some refinements on bluetooth (like Rainfreak said he did). Then it would be high on the list to try again. He spends lot of time on high resolution DPI stuff on themes. Just extra band with I need to sift through. But other threads say it's the Kernel that matters regarding bluetooth. That's not clear.
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
Also sense based Contacts is one of my major issues.

My favorite ROMs are the Hybrids that have some ASOP Gingerbread components that IMHO do it a little better even though not as Eye Candy-ish in some cases.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
it is the kernel that matters for bluetooth.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
i think its time for you to start learning how to make your own rom but wait your to lazy . i have a feeling no matter what anyone says here will be good enough for you .

enjoy rom hopping ill enjoy my 20 + hours of battery life with miks 4.5 and 17 hours on CM7
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
Lot of people with broken hardware then because I've seen many of the issues posted by other folks. In fact co-worked has rooted Droid II and he has some very similar issues. Only hardware that may have issues is my headset. But it worked perfect on TP2.

Part of the problems are Froyo 2.2 and some stupid limitation in Google Apps. Which is why I like Hybrid ROMs that have some Gingerbread 2.3 compoents that address some issues.

Full Gingerbread 2.3 ROMs are not ready for prime time yet (for me). I look forward to an official release.
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
I might, I used Calkulins Kitchen for TP2 and stuck with the same ROM for 7 or so months. But it did take months of F'in around with it to know what works well with what.

Trying to avoid that time sink. By the time I get it "right" Gingerbread 2.3 will probably be out and solve many issues.
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
Thanks I had that on my list to look at.
[EVO 4G General] mswlogo:
Well I was kinda under the stupid assumption when I bought the EVO Android worked !!

Now I have to build my own ROM. Geesh.

Again I don't think my list is too demanding. Some issues are pet-peivish, I admit.

Stock battery life is fine with me.

CM7 battery is looking respectable. But the phone fell flat on it's face before it could make it through one battery cycle to really know. When EVERYONE says GPS works I may give CM7 another go. By then my guess is a leaked GingerBread 2.3 will be out.
[EVO 4G General] lordsyrinex:
Last I checked it does work, maybe not how you want it to exactly, but work it does

QQ

I'll address this in a bit

Then run stock...

How did the phone fall flat on its face? GPS issues?

Basically what you're doing is you're "customering" the developers. You're wanting to take the best pieces of all of them and automagically jam pack them into one ROM completely tailored to your needs. The only way this is going to happen is if you dive in and start helping or you build your own ROM. This post would have served much better purposes had you asked if anyone knows of a ROM that does all of these functions instead of going out and slamming each ROM for what it doesn't have. Each dev is going to take their own work their own way and that's the end of the story. If you don't like it, you have a few options, do your own work or quit your *****ing. There are a lot of things that I would LOVE to see in CM but until I bust out my coding chops or start adding to the development table, there's not much I can really do except thank him for his work, donate, and be happy that there are a ton of people out there donating their time to making this **** better.

Reef updated the cab, and it's broken. cab takes for-freakin-ever as well, plus it doesn't really let you see how the system is arranged.

As for your SD card, you can try formatting it using the HP tool. Not sure if your card is messed up permanently or not... Can't say I've ever seen a card completely fail before, but I always buy name-brand SD cards...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] krewblink:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] dcmedic:
First off, Could you please ease up on dropping the curse words? That would be appreciated greatly.

Now, when you formatted your SD card did you format it FAT 32? Also did you use quick format?

The recommended setup is: FAT 32 & Full Format (NOT QUICK).

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Yea, curse words are not appreciated... Lots of kids in the forums, let's be respectful.

At any rate, what do you mean "when i was in android it would not confirm that i had a sd card in there" <--- I'm assuming you mean some app said there was no SD card inserted? Try dcmedic's suggestions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] krewblink:
Sorry for the bad habit

I got it to work. that Hp tool actually did help me thank you!

[HTC Inspire 4G] MarcuzXD:
Well I just switched to Android and I'm loving it! It's awesome. However I'm really having a problem with my battery. I got this phone on Sunday...and the battery life for me has been horrible for me.

I leave my phone on the charger all night. I have to leave for school, and I take my phone off the charger around 8:00am.

Throughout the school day, I'll check my phone a couple times. I probably send like 10-15 texts, and I take a few pictures at lunch. That's all I do, nothing else. By the end of the day (2:45) the battery is at 50%. I don't understand how a battery can be this bad, when it's in standby almost the whole day.

I have advanced task killer installed, and I have it set so all apps are killed when the screen is off, and it auto-kills apps. I turn off wi-fi at school since I don't get any, and my screen brightness is at auto. No live wallpaper either, just a normal still one. So I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I understand the battery isn't the biggest, but from what I hear everyone else is getting better battery life then me, and they're doing so much more than me.

Any help? Would be appreciate! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
First things first, get rid of task killer. Also see what's syncing. Play with the settings a little. Battery is tiny for this phone. But with tweaking it does the job. Best bet is to get a second battery or an extended battery from the desire hd.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MarcuzXD:
Why should I get rid of task killer? Everyone that I speak to that has android told me to get it. When I don't have it, I have all these apps running in the background like Asphalt 5, AT&T Navigator, Maps, and a bunch of crap that shouldn't even be running. I have pretty much everything syncing, does that kill the battery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Taskiller was ok back in earlier versions of android. The apps aren't actually running they are stored in memory with no impact on CPU. Constant syncing is going to destroy your battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
Davwman is absolutely correct about the task killer app. Do some googling on this and you will see that it creates more issues than helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MarcuzXD:
Alright, thanks a lot! I fixed the syncing, and a message popped up saying that it will extend the battery life. I'm going to assume this is going to help a lot, since Facebook and my email was probably constantly updating during. I'll look into the task killer as well!
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
You should see an improvements in the following days as well as the battery is settling in.

If not, Id ask AT&T for a replacement of the unit for another one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] roush611:
If you have any battery widgets I would remove those too. I had batstatt and it was destroying my battery!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
The battery isn't too great... 1230mAH ... I did send an e-mail to HTC regarding replacement batteries and they said I quote..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Androidude:
You really need to turn off auto-brightness as well. That will suck up battery power. Just set your brightness to a reasonable level. I usually keep mine around 35-40%
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
also auto rotate and data always on could affect it
[HTC Inspire 4G] BrandoKC:
Look into a widget that will allow you to kill data when you don't need it. Switchpro is a paid app and will allow this but I'm sure there are free ones.

You will still be able to send and receive calls as well as sms.

This should help get more out of the battery life.

As previously stated you might also look into picking up a spare battery for when you need the juice.

Check amazon and ebay. Beware of anything coming from China.
