Ascended Studios is pleased to announce that the indie game Volcanic Ascent has been officially released for the Android Platform!

This game was entirely designed and programmed by one person. (me)

I am looking for feedback on the game (is it fun, what is especially good about it, what sucks, what features does it need, etc). My updates are generally based off the feedback I get, so if you have a feature suggestion (for example) it has a very good chance of getting put in the next update to my game!

Description:

Volcanic Ascent is an indie game that was designed and created by one person! It has been described as an extremely addictive, action-packed casual game. Get as high up an active volcano as you can! Get the highest score and reach the highest milestone!

Dodge threats, grab coins, and collect powerups like Ghost and Shield to help you on your quest. Make sure you don't fall into a pit! Are you good enough to reach the GODLIKE milestone?

Information:

There are two versions of the game. A free version that is ad supported, and a full version that has an extra powerup and no ads (the lack of ads also results in more screen space dedicated to the game).

To download either search the market for "Volcanic Ascent" or go here (free version):

What's the best way to display a powerpoint presentation on the xoom though a projector?
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
My best guess would be a full screen PDF. Unless quickoffice can view them. An HDMI to dvi cable might work with any modern projector.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Documents to go does PP.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
It does but does it also do animations etc? On my nook color it only showed the slides and had difficulties displaying embedded EMF files properly. Additionally, the picture effects from PPT 2007 were messed up. The lack of decent productivity software might still tip me towards an iPad unless there's decent SW coming out that allows for proper editing etc.
[Xoom General] khov07:
The possibilities on this device are endless...give it time, I have no doubt the apps will catch up.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toncino:
Hi everybody,

perhaps a pretty stupid question, but I would appreciate your support. The maximum speed connection I can get with my DHD through WiFi is 64Mbps. Am I wrong or according to the IEEE 802.11n specification the maximum speed should be around 300Mbps? With my laptop I can transfer at very high speed, but with the DHD the transfer speeds are definitely slower...

Thanks!

I have 50mb broadband, and get around 25 mb/s dl speed on the speed test with my device :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toncino:
Well, Internet connection is not an issue, but if you want to move videos through wireless the speed is pretty bad... with the laptop speeds are hugely higher.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchern:
If I'm not wrong our phone radio does not support IEEE802.11n.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toncino:
Well, that's not what they write on the HTC website :D

EDIT: hmmm, you mean the radio? Do you know if it exists a radio that supports that? Anyway on HTC website they say it should support the 802.11n. Moreover, I have setted the router for allowing only 802.11n connection, so at least it is compatible...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] my1989:
So my sister has the hd2 leo with the WP6.5 and wants me to switch it to the android so my questions are:

What will be needed to make it a stand alone os not a dual boot?

Which version is stable on the hd2 (2.1, 2.2, or 2.3)?

What files might be needed for root, backup/restore?

Will the android market work fine with this install?

Am I leaving out and needed files?

and

Out of the hundreds of threads here which offers the best and easiest walkthrough?

I am a little familiar with the process because I did root my lg-optimus-zv9 and custom rom and have the nand backup so I am guessing it will be some what similar, and I didn't brick or have troubles with that process except finding the drivers needed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] uxu:
Only my personal opinion, but i like tytungs builds (without Sense). they are clean and fast just as i like it :)

[26.JAN][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G [Android2.2.2][Kernel: tytung_r2_oldcam]

[23.FEB][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.2 [Android2.3.2][Kernel: tytung_r6_oldcam]

This thread guided me well trough the flashing process.

For Backup/Restore CWM (in above ROM included) is very good to Backup the complete ROM. If you only want to save Apps/Settings Titanium Backup is the best choise.

For importing old contacts from WM 6.5 see here

Android Market works without Problems.

Hope that helps a little bit,

Fisha may be the only other person interested in this (at the moment) but I came across this link when I was trying to find ways to avoid working: http://www.simply-android.com/discussion/963/app-framework-res.apk-from-honeycomb-ported-to-mpdi-/p1

I took a quick glance at it and didn't see anything noteworthy, but maybe someone else wants to do something with it. If nothing else, the thought of getting some MDPI themes out for the newly rooted Xoom could make things easier for us Archos fellows.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyD4wn:
Hello,

I am running the latest Darky's ROM (9.2 xtreme) with speedmod kernel.

The problem I am having is that my screen will not turn off. My screen does turn of after the 30 seconds, but after about half a second it turns on again, this also happens when I press the power button to turn the screen of, it would just go on again.

I have tryed wiping the device, other kernel, even did a HARD reset trough the secret code. I have searched for hours on the internet and all I found where some topics with no responess..

What can I do next? Should I go back to stock, unroot it and bring it to a service centere, or is this just some setting that I somehow changed. It just happened, the device ran good on 9.1 for about a month, and nothing happened to it!

Perhaps some problem with sleepmode.. When I go into test mode trough the secrect code and press the sleepmode, the screen just turns on again.

Thank you in advance~

[Atrix 4G General] Smallsmx3:
I bought the captivate on launch day. It was a long process to get it to the great device it is now. I feel like att didnt really meddle with the atrix before they released it. All the att bloat is easily removed by uninstalling it through settings> applications. With that being said i feel the atrix has the best opportunity to upgrade to 2.3 before any other device on att, anyone think it will be a long drawn out process like froyo for the cappy?
[Atrix 4G General] busydoinnothin:
I'm curious as to what is considered ATT/Moto bloatware, this is my first android and I'm not exactly sure what I need to keep and what can go (trying to keep it as slim as possible).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Have been delving into the murky world of online calendars a fair bit recently.

I've discovered that there are lots of cool online calendar services, and have availed myself of some...

Facebook - you can export all your facebook events as an iCal and then subscribe to it in Hotmail and/or Outlook

Tripit - the travel website that creates itineraries for you automatically when you forward them your booking confirmation emails. It can also publish the itineraries as iCals to add to your Hotmail / Outlook.

Icalshare.com - has loads of iCals, such as moon phases etc.

The great thing about these iCals is Hotmail/Outlook synchronizes with them, so, for instance, if you attend a new facebook event, it will automatically appear in your calendar without you having to do anything.

Herein lies the issue, though. When you add your hotmail calendar or your google calendar to your WP7 device, you only get the default calendar, i.e. the one you manually add your own events to. Your Tripit, Facebook, Birthdays, Holidays, Moon Phases and any other calendar feeds in hotmail or Gmail will NOT sync to your phone.

I've been trying to find a service that can aggregate all your calendars into one, so that you can set up WP7 to sync it, but with no luck thus far.

I'm hopeful that WP7 will soon be able to sync multiple calendars from one hotmail/gmail account, which would solve all my problems.

But until then, there doesn't seem to be a workaround, other than manually copying all the calendar entries over from the feeds in Outlook into your hotmail calendar, which is a pain. It's OK to do a once-per-year copy for holidays, moon phases etc., but things like Facebook Events and Tripit journeys update far more often.

There is a site called mashical.com which does indeed aggregate all your calendar feeds into one, but how on Earth do you get that onto your phone?

Maybe someone needs to write an App to present an alternative Calendar on your phone, together with a live tile, that can show your mashed icals.

food for thought eh?
[Windows Phone 7 General] stillriza:
I definitely agree. I've read of people using separate calendars with multiple hotmail accounts to sync but I don't want to have to log in to 4 accounts to sync my calendars.

In the meantime.. I had to manually add all my calendar events to one Google calendar until resolved, which is a pain.

Hoping for a fix also or an improved 3rd party calendar app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Thing is, multiple Windows Live accounts doesn't work, as you cannot make a subscribed calendar the "primary" calendar for a windows live account, and it's only the primary calendar that gets synced.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stillriza:
It won't be the primary calendar. However, if you have 3 different hotmail accounts, (assuming a calendar with seperate events in for each account) you can add all accounts to your phone and chose the option to sync each individual calendar..All the events would show under the one calendar in your wp7

For example, I added 1 hotmail account, 1 live account, 1 google account. Each Account has it's own calendar with its own data in it. In my wp7...all the events from all the calendars sync to the one wp7 calendar. Crude method but it works.

On you wp7, it will simple show as Live Account 1, Live Account 2, etc. regardless if it was Hotmail or Live. If I misunderstood your reply, I appologize in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
On google calendar, you can import a ical or excel calendar file into your main calendar and merge them.

sorted.

?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Yes but it's a one-off import - any changes to the subscribed calendar do not make it into your main google calendar. So if you get a new Facebook event through, you would have to manually add it to your main calendar, which kinda defeats the point of icals - it's supposed to be an automated service.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Yes but you would end up with just multiple primary calendars, and primary calendars cannot contain ical entries, so that doesn't fix the problem at all, sorry!
[Windows Phone 7 General] renster721:
Hi, I had the same problem. If you create an alternate Google calendar account there is a solution. Export your secondary calendar (school or work or whatever) and import it into youralternate Google account. Then via the alternate Google account, share that calendar with your main google account.

Add the alternate Google account to your wp7 phone and set to sync only calendar. Now your phone will have multiple calendars, and you only need to access your main Google account since the calendars are shared. I have 3 calendars working on my hd7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
This has already been suggested. The import is a one-off, so updates to the ical DO NOT go through into the primary google calendar. So new Facebook events, for example, would not get imported from the facebook ical into google. That's why it's a no-go, sadly. We need a way of integrating icals without having to do a manual one-off import. Importing is OK for icals that don't change (such as moon phases) but for dynamic icals like facebook and tripit, it's pretty much useless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
Hey Jim how about this?

Subscribe on outlook

download Google calendar sync

and set that calendar to sync every once in a while.

i'm pretty sure that's how i've set it up...it's been a while!

let me know how that goes
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
i'm not sure i understand the problem, but:

i have 4-5 gmail accounts, only sync one with my phone. the wife, the family, and a few friends subscribe to this calendar. they also share THEIR gmail calendars with me. then there are some additional iCal's i subscribe (share) to, and it's fairly simple. After someone updates an event, it shows up. I'm assuming it's like a push email ? Dunno, got me.

Maybe it's trying to use the different clients that's causing the problems ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I can subscribe to calendars in outlook no problem, an dthey do sync automatically. Also, if I subscribe to calendars in Hotmail, they sync back to outlook, again no problem. The problem is getting those calendars onto the phone.

I'm not entirely sure what steps you're taking here, could you elaborate please?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
So you subscribe to icals in google, and you managed to get them to show up on your WP7 device? How did you do that? I can get the primary calendar from a google account to show up on my phone, but not subscribed icals.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
crap, wrong thread, sorry. I. had three different platform threads open at once. disreguard.

I was playing with a focus, iphone 3gs, and g2
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
Hey man,

Sorry.. this is how I got around the problem

Download this software

http://oggsync.com/index.php/documentation-for-outlook-add-in/detailed-feature-chart-for-outlook/

And install on PC

Subscribe to the internet calendar via outlook

Run Oggsync

Add the "folder" for the internet calendar

It will come up with an error for login

type in your google calendar login at the top

at the bottom it will give you a list of calendars you have with google.

select your primary calendar

and then select outlook to google only.

and it will prompt you for backup folder..

and that's you sorted!

it works for me!

let me know the outcome!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcianoS:
Captivate build 1008 here, running stock Froyo now (but the same problem occurred with stock JH7). Not rooted, but unlocked.

The problem: the "USB connected" notification comes up pretty randomly when the phone is NOT connected via USB. When this is the case and I power off, the phone refuses to power back on. If I pull the battery and put it back in, the "spinning sun" icon (???) comes up, followed by the battery charging icon, exactly as if I had connected the phone to the charger---and the battery is shown to be completely empty, even when it's not.

Usually, after doing this a few times, the phone comes back up.

This is driving me insane. The fact that the problem is random makes me think of a hardware issue, but any wisdom would be greatly welcome. I'd hate to have to send my phone in for service or replacement :-(

Thanks in advance! M
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aicirt17:
I had the same issue yesterday. Here's what I did: turned off the phone, pulled the battery, pulled the sim card, pulled the microSD card, waited one minute, then put everything back in. USB icon is all gone!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uhmump95:
My phone did that after I upgraded to froyo. I turned off USB debugging and powered off my phone and I have not had the issue anymore.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmarquis:
I'm seeing the same/similar issue when I charge my phone and remove. I can get it to toggle off by inserting the USB and messing around with the various connection prompts ("Kies" or "Mass Storage"). Don't recall exactly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcianoS:
@aicirt17 OK, I'll try removing the SIM card, too (I haven't done that). I don't have an external MicroSD car. Thanks.

@mmarquis I also fiddle with those settings. It's the randomness of it all that kills me :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tryyyniii:
I've read the guide to unlock my Device but no success so far.

I have a Device from UK but I'm in Portugal.

I would like to unlock my Device to use it with any SIM Card world Wide or, at least, with one of the 3 Portuguese Operators (TMN; Vodafone and Optimus).

When I turn on my Device with my no authorized SIM CARD the phone starts normaly and there is no unlock prompted. I get GSM access but no 3G access, which means that I'm able to make phone calls but no data is available. I get no access to the WEB.

Can anyone help me with this situation?

btw: when I insert a TMN SIM CARD (another Portuguese Operator) I get FULL ACCESS (GSM and 3G). I think this is weird!!!

thank you in advance.

I don't have the same problem like tryyyniii. I bought my SGS in the Middle East, particularly in Bahrain. Can someone please help me on how to upgrade my SGS. I already have samsung kies and this is what appears when i connect from keis and try to upgrade my phone:

This version of the device cannot be updated.

current firmware version: PDA:JG8 / PHONE:JG2 / CSC:JG9 (CPW)

OS Eclair 2.1

I really don't know what the problem is. I don't have the android market app, I can't use my video call for skype and yahoo messenger, and this really sucks. I searched for solutions, and i'd really like to try to flash and unroot, but i don't like to brick my phone if something goes wrong, because this is what happened the last time i tried to fix my phone with this method:

1- Backup all your files and apps (after this, the device will be just like new)

2- Set the watch to 24 hours mode

3- Dial this code: *#272*HHMM* (HH for the current Hour MM for the current min)

4- Then chose xsg

I get the market app and it works but my problem is, my simcard isn't working at all; I cant send sms or call, so in short, the network simcard became unavailable. Luckily, i still have warranty, so i returned it to the shop were I bought it, and they can't fix it unless they pay 30$ for the repair, so they just replaced it with a new one.

please help :), thanks in advance

I'm waiting for a replacement on my bricked Vibrant and I am running my G1 right now. I figured I would update the rom since I'm going to be using it for a little while. Now I am running CM 4.2 and the last time I flashed this on here I had like 20 steps to do and needed a pc. Now with the use of clockwork recovery and everything else available I'm assuming I can get away with flashing away from home and the use of a pc. I notice some newer roms with custom kernals available which is what I'm aiming for but I am not sure if I should grab the latest available CM or if other devs roms are more updated. Will I need anything else other than CWR since I'm already rooted? What are the steps I need to take to accomplish this?
