[Desire HD General] Dude360:
Im a big fan of LastPass dude, dont know if its exactly what your looking for but worth a look into.

Its a cross platform management app and also browser based for nearly all the main browsers ass well as mobile platforms as well.

You have a 'vault' in which you can define profiles then add sites to it with u/p info in.

The droid version is pretty cool as none of your passwords are stored anywhere else except in the LastPass app, when you select a site it will automatically launch the browser with the u/p filled in.

Theres loads more to it as well. Been using it for donkeys and have yet to find fault.

They also recently bought out Xmarks as well so there are a really good combo together.

Hope that helps.
[Desire HD General] ButtonBoy:
I second the notion of LastPass. Been using it for a long time, and it is so goooood.

My phone has recently updated but what is the update? Nothing seems to of changed i am new to all this so please excuse me if this seems silly.
[HD7 General] Shadowise:
It was the "pre No-Do" update, which is supposed to make the updating process smoother for future updates. It didn't make any actual changes the user can see, but I assume it changed some back-end stuff that makes updating/backup easier.

Probably a good thing, considering all the trouble they had with Samsung.

Edit: The actual "No-Do" update with Copy/Paste, improved speed etc should be due very soon. March 8th if rumours are to be believed.
[HD7 General] paullu:
why I still don't get update for my hd7??I am in usa with tmobile:confused::confused:
[HD7 General] Shadowise:
T-Mobile USA seem to be one of the few networks who still haven't rolled out the update.

Just keep checking in Zune for the update. I didn't get an alert on my phone, it was just there when I plugged it in to sync.

[Streak 5 General] GenghisKan:
Hi, I just recently got Dell Streak. I just upgraded my dell to streakdroid 1.8.1 with noapps. I am planning to include some of the option. I just want to what other people choose for their install option and their advises. I am also a bit lost in whether choosing adwlauncher, launcherpro or stageui. Any suggestions are welcomed.

PS Is it possible to reinstall 1.8.1 with new options. I just tried to reinstall with adwlauncher. It did not seem to work. Look exactly like the original gingerbread launcher. Could someone point out where I did wrong? Cheers
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
You could always install with stageui and download adw/lp off the market if you're unsure and dont wanna reinstall streakdroid.

All you have to do is edit the install.txt and reinstall it like normal, are you sure your install.txt is correct?
[Streak 5 General] offtheedge:
I always liked launcherpro. Its customizable and rotates with how you hold it. You can also install it after, I did a noapps install and didnt really like the default, so went back to launcherpro (i also used it when I had captivate)

I don't think you can change them on Open Home:( Email the dev and request that feature. It's a handy feature, they would probably implement it:)

Has anyone experienced a really loud vibration sound on their DHD? It is really annoying so I've turned it off. Is there a way to configure this?

Thanks
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Check whether the metal ring around your LED flash is not loose and that it vibrating is not causing that noise.
[Desire HD General] ViDtje:
It's not loose with my phone, and it also makes a lot noise when it vibrates.
[Desire HD General] maple85:

[Desire HD General] abhishekagrawal:
lately i too have been experiencing this issue, the vibration is just too loud and also theres no setting to decrease the intensity.
[Desire HD General] danton11:
I had issues with vibration before. If It's not right send it back...

It is simple to fix for HTC. Don't settle for second best.

My phone feels amazing now my vibration is working correctly, before it was embarrassing when it vibrated. Really horrible experience to use the phone.
[Desire HD General] NefariousNipple:
You can change the vibrate pattern within Chompsms for when you get texts. It won't change the force of the vibration, but it can be set to a shorter one.

[General Questions and Answers] pulser_g2:
Guys,

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT TO POST QUESTIONS

This is because questions DO NOT belong in the development forum. It is as simple as that. Let me define "not really cool". It's having to tell people NOT to post questions outwith the device Q&A section.

Post your questions THERE, NOWHERE ELSE.

Do NOT post questions in development.

Only posting in development is currently prevented. Make your thread in Q&A.

- that's the point exactly. Search harder. The answer will be there. You just need to practice how to find it. Google is your friend.

[General Questions and Answers] Michel Merlin:
XDA policy selects the USELESS posts

XDA policy selects the USELESS posts

IOW:

1) When we are new (to HD2 in my case), hence have a lot of issues with no clue, even no idea what to search exactly, and are willing to spend the time to find the exact forum, thread, post, to which we should ask a question (I did it, amply), we are FORBIDDEN to ask the relevant question in the appropriate, efficient, polite place and manner; instead, we have to post in a remote forum (Q & A), where all questions will end garbaged altogether with plenty unrelated others, and far away, both from the ones who could reply and from the ones who would like to second an existing question rather than posting a "new" one. Hence your policy is increasing the number of doubled or irrelevant questions, and refraining the people who are usually carefully, politely and efficiently writing their posts, while encouraging the Fast Posters (the ones who post faster than they can think or verify what they write).

2) Only when we finally have learnt (after lengthy and painful research in this unfriendly atmosphere) the information we need, hence only when we have no more questions, can we post in the relevant forums. But since the newer ones still CANNOT post there, our new knowledge can answer no question and no people, hence is useless to others. This explains why there are so many fundamental questions that are still plaguing many users after 2 years, with plenty threads addressing them without answering them (because missing the way the questions happen in new users' minds) but still no thread exposing them clearly and efficiently.

[General Questions and Answers] Michel Merlin:
"Google is your friend" only denotes people UNABLE to build an efficient search

"Google is your friend" only denotes people UNABLE to build an efficient search

Most people are Scarce Posters, IOW do search a lot, intelligently and carefully, before asking a question on a forum; so while numerous, they remain little visible. OTOH, the Fast Posters (the ones who post faster than they can think or verify what they write), needing no time before posting, do post a lot, hence look as more numerous than they actually are; and of course they have not often really tried to build really efficient searches (or they would know it can be done only when you already know a significant amount about your seek).

The invisible majority (Scarce Posters) do know that Forums' Search Engines most often fail, and that searching a Forum from Google, sure can be much more efficient, yet only with informed and carefully built search requests. The ones who require visitors to "search" while giving neither help nor hint about how and what to search, belong to the vocal minority of "Fast Posters" and have generally NOT tried themselves - or they would know the above, hence would belong to the "Scarce Posters".

IOW, really helpful people don't reply "Google is your friend", instead they post, after trying, tweaking and testing it, the exact search to do, for instance Google "How to flash 6.5.3 ROM on HD2 site:xda-developers.com". And as you can see, this particular search request, as carefully designed as it may be, is still far from the right one(s), because when you need it, you usually DON'T KNOW YET what to search; here, when I designed this one, I STILL IGNORED that I needed to download and install a BOOTLOADER, an HSPL, a RADIO, a ROM (and which one: a "3.14"? a "1.66"? What are those?), and possibly a MANILA and some other stuffs.

IOW, when you have written the appropriate search request, your problem is already almost completely researched, thought, defined, and solved. When someone is asking something on a forum, the one replying "Google is your friend" is essentially someone who is UNABLE to build a helpful search request (or he would just post it). Requiring from the visitor to search before asking is just, despite the appearances, putting the cart before the horse: unrealistic, illogical, unhelpful, and counterproductive.

I think the great resources on XDA Forums are hampered by a bad case of NIH and Resistance to change.

[Android Software Development] 5[Strogino]:
eLocity A7 users need small widget

View

1. Show text at screen according value from config-file

If value 0 then text "USB Slave"

If value 1 then text "USB Host"

2. If user pressed on widget it should change state at screen and value in config-file (inverse value: 0 -> 1 or 1 -> 0)

3. If value was changed then show one of two variants:

a) pop-up text "You must reboot to apply settings" (like in Astro, it shows text "press back once more to exit" in grey square over screen)

b) pop-up window with text "You must reboot to apply settings" and button "Ok"

I don't know has widget ability to show modal-windows?

Config

1. Ability to change path and name of config-file

Additional

1. Without periodical updates. Only when:

- user is pressing on widget

- device is turning on

- device waking from sleep on

Real example

File: /data/data/com.compal.usg_otg/usb.txt

Values in file usb.txt (only one value)

0 or 1

p.s.

I found only text widgets which show some text but they don't read value from file and don't allow change value in file

I know about GScript. I can create script that changes value in file and inverses value too but i don't know how show value at screen

Widget will fuse both functions)

Thx...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewYK:
My Dell Streak will not power on, at all.

There are no lights, and there is no activity, nothing on the screen.

No difference when it is attached to a power brick - with/without battery and/or cover.

The PC will not recognize it.

Attempting to power on while holding various buttons does not work.

Is there any kind of reset button like the Streak 7 apparently has, some trick I can try or is this thing just plain bricked?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadBlaster:
maybe insert the battery xDD

or charge it

[/sarcasm]

maybe u have to send it back or did you modify the system roms ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derechbennoach:
I had this once.

Google for streakflash, it is a repair tool for streak.

Install it make sure you have all of the drivers in place.

Put the phone in safe mode.

1. pull batery

2. plug in cable phone to pc.

3. start the streak flash software.

4. hold the up volume as you put the battery and back on

5. software should see phone --- install rom.

It may take several attempts to get the safe mode working.

This worked for me.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
Streakflash can be found at Streakdroid.com in recovery rom section
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewYK:
I do not think StreakFlash will work... the PC does not acknowledge when I plug in the device, it is off and stays off.

There was some modding going on (StreakDroid) and I was experiencing issues with it - small ones - so I was going back to a factory ROM when the phone stopped.

But now it will not power on -- at all. I would think that if something went wrong, horribly wrong, with the ROM it would still power on, just not much else. But this is worse, so I am assuming it is probably a hardware issue.

I guess the question at hand is simple. In theory, if my phone stopped powering on as a result of some failure in the ROM it would be repeatable...

Has anyone ever replaced the SD card inside the phone with a different one? (I can imagine someone trying a larger one.) If someone did, did the phone still work afterward, or did it then refuse to power on? Did returning the original SD to the phone cause it to work again?

I did NOT attempt what I just described. My phone is still too new for me to start disassembling it. But I guess I am going to search to see if anybody has.

Because it could be important research for streak owners.

If removing or replacing the internal SD, or failing to alter its contents propperly causes the phone to fail to power on then it would appear that my phone is in a similar state, otherwise it would have to be something else - hardware failure, most likely.

Knowing, hands down, that tampering with the SD could kill the phone would be important knowledge.

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/321456/needed-brave-person-internal-sd-files-needed/

The discussion found at the above link indicates that the phone will still power on with a bad/damaged/missing internal SD. So it seems I am looking at a hardware failure.

Looking at it as a hardware issue are there any suggestions that might kick start the phone back to life? I know that the streak 7 has a reset switch, for instance, does the 5 have one that is user accessible? I have looked and nothing that I see looks like one to me. Or is there something else that might work -- some combination of battery/power cord/buttons?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bravo261:
you can switch sd cards without starting over, but then you'd have to copy the partition from your old sd card to your new sd card.

it gets slightly complicated, but only because of the numbers of steps, not technical complications.

use Easeus partition software and try to replicate the exact partitions across the old card and the new card

good luck

Hey there,

my question is the other way. Is it possible to flash an other rom without having my SD in to safe settings and installed apps?

I tested this way:

1. turn off phone

2. pull out the SD

3. boot

My HD2 booted into WP7 and ran a blank WP7 such as it was fresh installed.

Then I turned it off and put the SD back in and booted. It booted into my ol status.

So no I want to if I can flash an other rom, put my already formatted SD with my WP7 settings back in? Is that maybe the best way to safe settings?

copying the wp7 partition between different sd cards works very well. The system accepts the copy and wp7 launches with all adjustments, downloads and installed apps.

so if we can move a wp7 from one sd card to another. Should it then not be possible to download from the internet, and just copy to sd-card?

Reason i ask is because i cannot get my wp7 to connnect to pc, so i cant get live services. However there seems to be a version now, where i just need to activate the phone.

If someone uploaded their data, can i download it, and update my wp7 that way?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
i was under the impression that it uses some sort of RAID over the card.

the best way to tell is to copy the card factory rest with one SD card, then swap the cards afterwards. Myguess is that it wont work the way you want it too, i doubt it will "give" you everything back on again.

Kies requires official rom product code hardware code etc to upgrade .

Unless you saved the rom that came with the phone then you have probably lost Kies upgrade .

Stock firmware is available but that's not what came with the phone .

Possible Kies workaround via Kies Registry Patcher in themes section but it may no longer work .

JPY, JS3, JS5,

Builds as in A first B next .

All froyo 2.2.1 builds .

Hey XDA

Im thinking about getting a new phone but i don't know what one really

Parallel imported Desire Z

Ebay T-mobile G2

Parallel imported Desire HD

Parallel imported HD2

And i dont know what one pro's and cons if possible will be planning to root
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leehopley:
hey matey,

if your in the us and dont mind going with tmobile.. id go with the g2.

the difference between desire z and g2 is that the g2 has 4gb of rom for apps but it doesnt have as many signal bands so it can only be used in the us. the desire z only has 1gb rom for apps but has almost all the bands for abroad use.

the HD2 seems to have better battery life but android doesnt run 100% yet.. ive just come from the hd2 to the desire z and personally there's not much difference but the desire Z and HD and G2 have updated tech in them over the HD2 which is understandable.

the Desire HD is much like the hd2 only it has the worst battery life out of all the handsets listed. but it has an extra 256mb of ram over the Desire z and g2 which have 512 mb

the desire z and g2 have second gen snap dragon processors running at 800mhz but they can be overclocked safely to 1.43

the desire hd and hd2 both share the first gen snap dragon processor running at 1ghz i *think*

it all depends on these:

do you want good battery life

do you want to use it out of the US

do you want to have a qwerty keyboard

i have the UK desire z and love it.. ive had no problems with it, the hinge is a tiny bit loose but its meant to be, its very strong though. ive got 50apps installed and still have 900mb out of the 1gb. battery life is around 30hours dependant on usage and ive got the benifit of the qwerty keyboard.

my vote is go for the G2 if your in the US

hope this helps matey

Not true. Coming from the HD2 myself, I can say that the HD2 can run Android 200%. There are SO many developers over there and they even got a very stable port of CM7 (with some customizing) way before RC1 was even released.
