I just got an Atrix today and it is my first smartphone. What are some necessary apps that can help out battery life and make the phone better? Thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] PixoNova:
What I use is Green power premium. It runs in the background and manages everything for me to save battery life. Works great.

Another is Titanium Backup. But you have to have root for that. Also, AdFree.

And of course the official XDA android app.

did anyone get a bluetooth keyboard working with cm7?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capdcanoa:
I'm also interested. I want to buy a BT keyboard for my htc legend.

I know that stock roms cannot manage it (SENSE cannot), but I hope that CM7 could do it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RedChainsaw:
I made a boot out of a gif i found on the net. It won't flash. Can someone check it, and see if it is good. thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ridethelight:
You dont flash bootanimation.zip, you place it in /system/media
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RedChainsaw:
Oh lol Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RedChainsaw:
still not working. Just get a black screen.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
My guess is that you have your bootanimation folder within your bootanimation.zip. You should just have your part0 and the desc.txt in the bootanimation.zip (make sure it's zipped without any compression I.e. stored).

It could also be that you're using jpg. I've seen them work before, but sometimes they don't. I believe png is a little more standard. What's the ds_store?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
I opened your zip and you had some weird stuff in there. I rezipped it. You also used jpg's. I always use a png. Anyhoo...here it is, rezipped. Try placing in your system/media folder and see what happens.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] CapnPez:
I just noticed that you had an extra folder there too. You should probably get rid of everything else (besides the part0 and desc.txt).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
I just took the zip I posted and placed it properly...it works.

Enjoy!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RedChainsaw:
Thanks a million man.

Idk, and i have no idea how i got i there. I edited the jpegs on my mac, I guessing it added that when i compressed it?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] pnut22r:
I am very interested in a Bluetooth FM Transmitter. I am interested in both technologies; voice and music. I like the idea of the Motorola line t505 and roadster, but i am not sure either of these have voice command for any kind of phone book. It would be nice if i could dial with voice command. And of course it would be nice to have decent audio quality. Any ideas?

BTW - i have a mytouch 4g
[myTouch 4G Accessories] Csfreestyle:
I've had the Roadster myself for about a week and a half now, and the MyTouch 4G just a week beyond that. I love having a no-wires setup for both calling and music playback, especially since no aux adapters were ever made for my car's headunit.

The Roadster has a nice little speaker on it for voice communications (don't fret, call audio can still go through FM audio), a decent FM transmitter*, good battery life, and easy to use buttons. I specifically like that you can manually adjust the broadcast frequency across the whole FM band, rather than be married to a handful of presets that may or may not be crowded in your area. A nice benefit, also, is that the Roadster comes with a Micro USB CLA, so I didn't have to buy one for my MT4G. =)

* - It took me a few days to find an optimal freq to use in my area, but once I did, the signal was quite strong)

The Roadster is meant to be used with Motorola's MotoSpeak app which, in my opinion, sucks. I've never been overly impressed by voice recognition in general (let me be the first to point out, that may mean I'm the problem :)) but MotoSpeak is resoundingly lacking, both in quality, and capability, when compared to the Genius button.

As for sound quality, your happiness will be dependent on your taste in music, and your ear's attention to detail. The audio sounds compressed; while capable of thumping lows and decently sharp highs, the product seems unable to do both at the same time. Any composition that has rumbling bass and crisp highs in its mix will lose one, or both, depending on the tune. (I can't think of the term for this phenomenon... fairly certain its not dynamic range or frequency response, but is obviously related to both.)

To be honest & fair, though, I'm not sure there is an FM solution that will NOT compress audio.

For what its worth - those are my two cents. Congrats, you drug me out of lurking. =)

Cheers,

CS...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jlacy76:
Is there one of these that actually work well?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] downloader123:
It compresses it because it has to stay within range of a specific frequency. If you played a high-frequency sound on 102.7 (FM), you could hear it on 102.8 (FM) but it would be a lower frequency. Don't quote me, this is just what I understand of it.

Turn your phone's music volume down and make your car stereo amplify it... it seems to work for me.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tfatykhov:
I am using this one for about a month now:

Soundfly BT Ultimate Bluetooth Car Fm Transmitter

Works well enough.

You can find it on Amazon.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] benmyers2941:
It's not the cheapest, but I've been rather impressed with the Jabra Cruiser 2. As others have posted you're going to loose some sound quality, it can't be helped, but this one seems to loose less than other.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] haze_nme:
Review of Motorola T505

I have owned 2 T505s. The first I left in a rental car in Boston. I have been very happy with the product. You can use it for voice dialing with nothing extra to set up on the phone (at least in CM7). You just press the phone button on the t505 and wait for it to say "Speak now", then say "Call John Smith on Mobile", or whatever. It has a play/pause button that will start your default music player. It has volume controls for the internal speaker, but in FM mode they function as skip forward/backward.

The device has great battery life. It lasted all the way to LA and back from Tucson, AZ on one charge while listening to Pandora the whole drive.

The built-in speaker is pretty decent for phone calls, but sounds pretty tinny when listening to music through it.

My only complaint about the t505 is it's "Auto Channel Selector" for the FM transmitter. It attempts to find a channel that has low interference, but will sometimes pick a channel way to close to a very powerful local radio station. I have to keep pressing the radio button for it to choose a different channel. I would like to be able to specify a specific channel, but after a few tries it seems to eventually settle on one that works fairly well.

Last I saw they have them on sale for under $50 at Newegg.

I just saw it in the Telemundo Noticias, the new iPad 2 from Apple and they didn't mentioned nothing interesting other than it's thinner.

But !

Edit:

They showed a tab running Gingerbread...

They're stupid they should have shown in the preview the current iPad, not one with Android :/

I think they can release one with Mac OS X, but that they can doesn't mean they should....

They want people to get high-tech little by little so their win extends. If you know what I mean....

Anything apple running android would basically be apple saying you win android. Stupid to even think its running honeycomb.
[Off-topic] Tzatlacael:
Yeah, never mind, the stupid news! They showed a tab running android while they talked about the new comming iPad 2!!!

WTFuaaa!
[Off-topic] paulkenosha:
Yea I seen the same clip. The tab they were showing was the new moto one.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
The iPad 2 is running iOS 4.3

Comes in black and white

Other then being thinner and having 2 cameras its the same thing.

What made me rage was how Steve was bragging how the App store has 65,000 apps, and the Honeycomb has only 100. Um, hello, iPad is out for over a year, the Xoom isn't even out yet...I think. If it is, only a few days.

[Off-topic] Tzatlacael:
Naa, I've said it already the note was that they talked about the upcomming iPad 2, that it was gonna be mad thinner than the first, I thought that it was it what they were showing, because I haven't seen much about tabs so you should understand I was cofused.

[Desire HD General] ridhavm:
I got a desire hd yesterday locked on 3 network . I bought the unlock code from ebay which worked fine and unlocked the handset .

I am getting proper network signals and even 3g connection is working but I am unable to make or receive calls . When ever I am trying to call,it disconnects after a second

I have tried different sim cards from t mobile and vectone but having the same problem . U don't have 3's sim,have ordered one , will update after trying that as well

Kernel version : 2.6.32.21

Build: 1.3.771.3
[Desire HD General] sim36:
where and what?

where are you located and what is the phone's origin?
[Desire HD General] ridhavm:
Based on UK, it was locked to 3 network . Bought it from cex so under warranty but spent 15 quid on unlocking
[Desire HD General] kdm2008:
Take it back to Cex !!!

I had this a few months ago.

The joker who sold it too them has reported the phone as stolen and so the networks have blocked the phone by IMEI number.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
I've searched around and couldn't find anything.

I'm on 2.3.3 on 78C, and the update continually fails. Can anyone give me and hints as to why?

I tried it while using the 2.3.2 netarchy 1.2.5 kernel, as well as 100% stock android 2.3.2 with no luck.

I realize that 2.3.3 has screen issues but i'd still like to get a hold of it for the 1.2.7 netarchy kernel.

Any and all help is appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Are you sure your Android was really 100% stock when you tried the update that way? If you had installed netarchy kernel prior to that, be advised that netarchy replaces the file bcm4329.ko in the /system/modules folder, and that this will cause the update to fail since it doesn't match the crc check of the file.

The netarchy kernel just by itself will cause a failure because it makes the boot.img partition not match the crc in the update scripts.

You need to make sure that EVERY file that the updater-script file in the OTA looks at is actually a 2.3.2 version. That means if you've flashed a custom kernel that replaces modules, or replaced /system/apps like Gmail with something themed, you have to undo all those changes.

In your case, assuming you were really 100% stock, then flashed netarchy, then went back to stock by just flashing a nandroid of the boot.img, I'd say if you just replace the bcm4329.ko file with one I posted in another thread this morning that you'll probaby be able to update.

If not, the script usually shows some text on the screen about what failed.

Your other option is to apply the full 94mb update that OVERWRITES your /system instead of patching it. I don't think that will cause any data loss, but don't hold me to that. I'd be sure to have a current nandroid and titanium backup in case something goes wrong.

The other option is to get the 2.3.3 pre-rooted nandroid from the development section and just flash it with clockwork.

Good luck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
ah, very good. thank you for the reply. I'll probably just grab that nandroid backup with 2.3.3 and root. i appreciate the help and thank you again.

I realize that we won't be able to load custom kernals and running AOSP won't be possible, but I'm a bit confused to the extent we'll be able to customize via ROMs.

I'm guessing that we will be able to go completely Blur-less, but I just want to make sure. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techcruncher:
The current state of hacking the atrix:

Yes, we will be able to load stock ROMS soon, but not stuff like cynagon. Those "special" roms need custom "kernels" not available until the bootloader is cracked. Even with a signed loader, it is still possible to get a stock rom. By summer, they will have gingerbread on this thing easy.

(if i mistold the information, please kindly correct me)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackSHELF:
WTF, never seen it like that and I am CM7 vet :P since you say this been happening in every nightly are you mounting new build on top of old builds? or have you done total system wipe by formatting /system? In any case if you have and you still see it then this maybe related to some app you have installed. Did you modify/remove ADW? and install any other launders?

Does your touch screen respond as normally as it should? You should only see the highlights on areas being touched, I believe.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Go in to MAGLDR, and select the option 'AD HardReset'. That should do the job. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
You mean you want to completely remove android, or do you mean you want to remove all your data that was on android (emails, apps, messages, contacts, etc)? If it is the latter, then simply reflash the build. Hard reset in the settings won't solve your problem, as you've noticed. Or you could go into the email app, go to the settings and delete the accounts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jbg1:
yeah i just want to remove all my data...would the hardreset work?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
yes the MAGLDR AD hardreset will work. It will erase the phone's data, leaving only HSPL and MAGLDR. meaning it will remove android also
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yeah, if you go in to MAGLDR and do it. It doesn't work in Android, because it's not the HD2's native OS. There wouldn't be that feature of MAGLDR for no reason. ;)

If that DOESN'T work, then most certainly re-flashing the ROM will work. But there's really no need.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jbg1:
but i would have to reflash anyway correct?, since it only leaves mag, and hspl
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
No. It just resets the NAND ROM. Doesn't over-write it or anything.

Could wp7 apps be unlocked to run on windows. They all run in silverlight right. Should it not be like a java app and run anywhere?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
Interesting question. I think the developer would have little problem trying to recompile an app for Windows use (given Silverlight is already installed on the target PC), but XAPs are specifically compiled and signed for use on WP7 devices, and thus we can, at best, run them on a PC by deploying an extracted XAP on the Emulator.
