right, that only works for market apps I can get back very easily. when it comes to an app I might need to restore to get back OS or phone functionality, or that I can't get from the market, the restore button is greyed out.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
If the restore button is greyed out, you never backed up said application. Data maybe, but not app.

Hi. I'm a big fan of SuperClean. I'm currently running SC 2.8 Voodoo with EB16. My battery life is just OK. Adrynalyne recommends to downgrade the modem to DL09. However, I like to tether. I'm wondering if the DL09 modem has the Verizon monitoring in it or not. Thanks for your help. I would post directly on the developer form, but I don't have enough posts :(

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcelt:
Yesterday, I received the 1.84.61.2 Orange FOTA. I didn't want to install it straightaway (as I had to change back to S-ON and then UnRoot the device) so I downloaded it but told it not to install.

I did what I had to do with S-On and VISIONary to Unroot but when I went to Settings --> About Phone --> System Software Updates, instead of it installing the file that I've already downloaded (It's sitting on my SD card in the Download folder), it tells me to download the whole thing again. Ordinarily, I would do so but I live in the worst place in the country for broadband with average download speeds of 6kpbs (I know, I know....sodding BT) and I really don't want to wait that long again.

Is there a way of getting the phone to execute the FOTA file that is already on the SD card waiting for me?

Thanks for your help!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Boot into recovey and apply the update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcelt:
When I boot in to Recovery (Turn off phone. Turn on while holding Vol Down), I scroll down to Recovery and click it. It then goes to the HTC screen then a black screen with a pic of the phone on plus a Red Traingle with ! in it.

It just sits there and does nothing else.

Would have any other idea? Does the FOTA file need to be in the root of the SD card or can it stay where it is in the Download folder?

Do I need to install something like ClockwordMod Recovery to get this to work or will that just neuter the OTA upgrades anyway?

thanks for the help.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] brooon:
Hi Guys! :)

I´m terribly searching for some keyboard alternatives for WP7, but it seems like there aren´t any alternatives at the moment, right?

I would really appreciate the development of a standard (12 Button) Keyboard like it was implemented in WM 6.1 - 6.5 and is implented in every Android build, on which each button represents 3 or 4 signs. In my personal experience writing goes damn fast (with one hand...for me, it´s even faster than swype) on such a keyboard, even while walking, cycling or driving (yeeeea I know, don´t type and drive... :)). I used such a keyboard also with WM 6.5 and Android...(the shown pics are just some (to be honest: not very good) examples to show what I mean)

The keyboard implemented in WP7 is quite okay, but the buttons are really small (at least this depends on how thick your fingers are?! :D) and it is impossible for me to type in a comfortable way while I´m walking ...

what do you guys think? are there any solutions/will there be such a layout in near future?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Nev1337:
hello,

im looking for the phone keyboard too with T9 , im much much faster on phomne keyboard would be good if anyone can add this on wp7 :)

regards
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] bruchpilot2000:
Same for me... the keyboard in wp7 is not bad, but on wm6.5 with swipe or T9 it was much faster to write a message.

Anyone an idea?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
I'm not sure this is an area that will see any change in the short term. Microsoft seem keen to keep this locked down like the iPhone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] brooon:
*grrr*...that´s really kind of sad...I´m really not comfortable with the native keyboard. But hope dies last :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] nightryder21:
You can't change the keyboard on WP7. Microsoft is not allowing it. I don't believe anybody has found a way to do it either.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
Arguably you should add '...yet' to the above statement, although Apple have retained their policy of not allowing alternative keyboards.

A Google search suggests there is no obvious activity around Swype and WP7 and while there are a few things around suggesting that Dasur (SlideIT) were looking to release a WP7 version of their keyboard, there is nothing obvious to support this on their website.

They may have had information from MS that they are not opening up the keyboard? Or maybe it's in development...?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aklempn:
,

I am facing a problem related to 3G data connection.

The problem is as follow, while having a talk (voice) many times the data connection (3G/H) drops due to some reasons and never re-established until phone call is over.

I found this to be very annoying, if no phone call been done the data connection is perfect 99% of the time but doing voice call disconnect the data (both 3G/H) and never re-established until the phone call is over.

Once the call is over, the data connection resumed (3G/H indicators shown)

Please advise

Thanks,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Because the voice call needs your connection to the operator and that's why the data connection is terminated while the voice call is active.

Happened to me on every phone (LG KU 990, Samsung Omnia, HTC Desire).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aklempn:
You are correct but...3G/H supposed to allow data&voice in parallel, and sometimes is does work such. But once the data connection terminates it never re-established until voice is over.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
You are right, but not at all operators, just tested ORANGE SK with HSDPA signal... drops after a voice call is beign made.

BTW, are you GSM or CDMA?

Just learned, that if you are using a custom ROM, can make this problem. Also are you set to WCDMA preffered in the *#*#4636#*#* menu?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aklempn:
GSM

yes - WCDMA is set

Network type - UMTS
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Box287:
Is it just a case of the icon disappearing during the call? Try starting a download whilst on 3G/H/E connection and then make a phone call, switch to the market and check to see if the progress bar is... progressing (excuse the pun!), if it is then data is still active. If your on a GPRS network, data would be disconnected for the call.

Does anyone know how I can revert my current CWM 3.0 back to an earlier version? 3.0+ doesn't support flashing zips in recovery.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
uhhh... it doesnt?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
Bottom of the rom manager menu. "flash alternative recoveries" i believe.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
no i think he means like flashing a zip'd rom or kernel other than update.zip?

and you most certainly can flash a zip in recovery... i just did it 2 seconds ago and im on 3.0.0.5 :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justsignbythex:
Did not see this at all.

Thanks!

I tried flashing a newer radio earlier through recovery (update.zip), but it would say something about not being able to do it anymore (forgot the exact phrasing). Something about Edify scripting and Gingerbread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The newer ClockworkMod recoveries have dropped support for the old Amend scripted .zip files is all.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seakins:
So we shouldn't update CWM recovery to the lastest version to flash roms or make backups? Rather stick with an older version from the bottom of the menu?

Ive been keeping with an older version but just want some clarification if i can update to lastest CWM version?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Depends. Most newer updates are being made in Edify now (install-binary & updater-script), so you'll mostly be OK.

But if you do want to use things with Amend then it's either older CWM or Amon Ra recoveries for you.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Hey folks,

Saw enough people wanted this to happen, so I made it so. One of my few successful mod attempts :D

This puts back the Stay Awake option from Eclair, that Samsung was so nice to remove for us. This assumes you have the 5 lockscreen mod from sbrissen already installed. I have only tested on superclean.

Use at your own peril.

Version 1.0

stay_awake.zip

I've added two more options in version 2.0, namely Dial Up Networking (I hear its all the rage for QPST users), and accelerometer calibration under Display Settings. Once again, this assumes you have sbrissen's lockscreen mod installed, or are using my superclean rom. Ty for GizmoDroid in pointing the setting out :)

Version 2.0

[Fascinate Android Development] pkopalek:
Yeah, this is how the Fascinate works.

Try downloading a 150mb ROM, and then turning the screen off when 60MB is done downloading.

Turn the screen back on a few minutes later. Hey, look, the download's almost.... oh wait... nope. Still at 60MB. Continues to download once the screen is on.

This is INCREDIBLY annoying.

This mod helps tremendously. When my phone is plugged in, I should be able to let the screen stay on, without setting my display timeout to 10 minutes.

Saumsung sucks.
[Fascinate Android Development] GoogleAndroid:
Thanks for this. I was starting to have issues with the accelerometer, out of nowhere. The phone wouldn't rotate when in landscape, or would rotate to landscape when I was in portrait, and I figured it was the accelerometer. The calibration fixed it.

if I have a theme flashed, these mods will revert to stock TW theme partially...and when I flash the theme over these mods installed, the mods will disappear.

but it seems like the option choice never changed...I turned on the stay-awake option and flashed theme, but even after the mod selection disappeared, my phone stays awake while plugged in. so I guess this isn't a big deal. thanks for the mod!

Hey guys.

Does having this checked stop apps from automatically installing to SD like some do?

I ask this as i would like to have it ticked all the time to stop having to go into the settings and enabling mass storage.

any info would be sweet.

Cheers!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
If you check Mass Storage Only in Settings/SD card & phone storage settings, it will automatically connect your phone in Mass Storage mode when you plug it via usb on your pc. That does not affect the way the SD is handled by the phone when not connected to the pc, so apps can install normally.

So you can tick it and don't worry about that when not connected to pc.

You may want to uncheck that when trying to connect via adb though, or when upgrading firmware via pc.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Cheers!

just what i needed to know :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teh_1:
It doesn't affect the installation of apps it just puts your phone in mass storage mode directly when you connect it to your pc.

You also don't have to always chose mass storage mode from settings, if you don't have USB debugging turned on, a pop-up screen will appear with a button to turn USB mass storage on/off, or you can do it from the drop down status bar tap the USB connection notification and select mass storage.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theArthur:
Google (plus the OHA) writes code which they own. they can do anything with it they want. Currently they are giving it to a few customers (google's customers are manufacturers like ASUS and Motorola). currently the customers (ASUS Moto etc...) have the right (given them by google) to ship compiled code to consumers.

Google has promised that sometime in the future they will give manufacturers permission to ship the code provided they give this same permission to the consumers who buy there product (they are under no legal obligation to give code to people who don't buy there product).

Also Google has promised to give the code directly to anyone provided that it keeps its "free to copy and modify" permissions as it is passed along.

for now the code belongs to google and they can do as they like. In the past they have honored such promises and i really expect them to honor this one.

[Android Themes] Loofadawg:
This is mainly for other newbies when it comes to custom boot animations so you can learn from my mistakes.

I spent a couple days, off and on, working on a boot animation for my captivate and after a few snags I got it to work. Joy of joys. After achieving this small feat I decided to one up by making a longer animation.

It was over 200 frames and it paused halfway through before it would continue and then after that, the animation was choppy/lagging.

I tried messing with the frame rate to no avail. Really bummed out, I checked some other custom boot animation and saw that some where png and some were jpg.

Hmmm... mine were all png. I converted them all to jpg and as an added measure I converted the resolution down from 480x800 to 240x400.

That did the trick... in fact, the whole animation was able to loop 4 times or more with subsequent plays being a bit faster.

Another thing, IrfanView (free) is your friend and so is RootExplorer (money well spent) and Samba (free).

I am going to tweak my creation a bit more to make it a little smoother, but mostly I am happy with it. Basically it is the Android mascot trying to catch a bee which he ends up eating and turns into the Honeycomb OS mascot.

An earlier version is on Youtube, minus the catching the bee sequence and other stuff.

Any helpful hints are appreciated.

Why not post your boot animation, too? Unless it has your phone number or something on it, I'm sure there are folk who would love to use it! It sounds (how do those kids say it...) whack!

Impossible to switch to WP7 as it stands because of this.

[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
No official word yet. We don't know if they will ever add this to the OS, although it would be pretty stupid not to, seeing how all the other platforms will have it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
the wp7 os fully supports tethering, it is the oem/provider that need to make an app.

so don't blame MS that it's not in the os .

this is the same for the upcoming nodo update , everybody blame MS that the update isn't ready

tha fact is that it is ready long time ago but our providers/oem have asked/demand that MS sould wait with it .
[Windows Phone 7 General] Asheyb8:
Is there anyway to do this without XAP? Without Microsoft developer tools?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Updates != features. MS is fully capable of making tethering part of the OS itself; just like Android & iOS. There doesn't need to be any involvement or special "app" from the OEM/provider.
