Like I said, use Smart Keyboard Pro and the HTC skin over it. It's practically the same thing but more accurate and supports multi-touch!

I'm trying to decide if I should port my AT&T number to my new verizon acct or port it to G.voice and get a new phone number for my Verizon phone.

Anyone think one or the other might be better?

Really want a dual core android phone, but don't want to miss out on unlimited data 4G plan.
[Thunderbolt General] jamesfrom818:
I've been using my Google Voice number as my primary number for at least a year now. Unless MMS is really important to you, I'd use Google Voice.
[Thunderbolt General] Florynce:
Exactly what he said. You also miss out on free mobile to mobile though which is a bummer.

That could be pretty big for some people but the only time I'm on the phone for a really long time, I'm at home and I'm talking to a girl. All I have to do is open up Gmail and make the call through Google Talk.

[Streak 5 Accessories] jateelover:
Hi all,

I have recently switched to the Streak from owning all models of the iphone, and have not looked back. Such an awesome device, and android is great. Anyways, I had owned a case for my 3gs and Iphone 4 called the Mogotalk xd. It is a bluetooth/case/charger that keeps an extremely thin and very good bluetooth on the back of your phone. I have missed it very much, especially since the streak is huge and could really benefit from one of these...The product is very smart, and very thin...but this isn't a review, so you can check it out their site, which I can't link yet...just google or youtube it...

I contact ID8 support to ask if they would be making these cases for other devices, and they replied back that they would not. So, I decided to mod mine for my streak, and post it here in case anyone else wants to do the same. It came out very well I think, and was very easy...extremely useful...

I started by removing the felt lining (just peeled out), then, after messing around a bit, decided to just take an exacto knife to the rubber for the sides of the iphone. I cut right along the back of the case, so as to have a close fit. Pics attached ( I also cannot link pictures yet :-C)

I have 2 battery covers, so I then attached it with double sided tape (temporary, as I am looking for some way incorporate a kickstand next). I lined up the top of the case with the top of the battery cover. It still slides on fine. If someone wanted to, they could probably dremel the top of the case to fit perfectly on the battery cover, as the camera hole unfortunately is horizontal...and there are no electronics on the top half (bottom has charging port) The only thing you really lose is a few millimeters of thickness...but this thing is thin (still fits tightly in the car dock from dell) And now I have bluetooth that charges on my phone and is always with me. Really easy to do, and definitely worth it if you like talking on your phone, as this can be difficult with the streak. Let me know if you have any questions...you can pick this up on amazon or other sites for around 40-45 dollars..its worth it..
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
One thing to be careful of there is the battery compartment door. There's a power switch inside the Streak that's activated by a pin on the door and if the door moves your Streak will power down. This is a known problem with nothing on the door so I don't know how yours will behave with the extra weight/bulk hanging off it. I know good comfortable earpieces are hard to find so maybe you could incorporate the BT holder into another case instead of attaching it directly to the streak?
[Streak 5 Accessories] jateelover:
I thought about that, and it would be very easy for someone who wanted a case...however, I do not...The Case/bluetooth is extremely light, and for some reason, the battery cover now fits much more tightly in place..its not going anywhere...It would be really easy to just cut out out the back of a case, especially a silicone one, to fit...or to cut the top half as I said before and fit it into a hard case...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lovedeatm:
Here is my story.

I found a patch that was supposed to give me ad-hoc on my coby 7015. i don't quite remember where i got it but i believe it was in the xda forums. well i'm not sure if it wasn't written correctly, was malicious, or if i didn't read the details correctly but i tried to install it. this also may have had a part in why things went south. I first tried to use the regular recovery util to install it since the zip was called update...w/e that didn't work. i then switched to clockworld recov to install and i used the apply update from sdcard setting...didn't look at when it was installing i just rebooted and kept moving ( i was at work and pressed for time).

when i realized my wifi wasn't working anymore i tried to install it again realizing maybe it was the way i did it, so it stead of the "apply" option, i used select zip to install. still the same problem...

after all this i decided the best thing to do would be to

1. see what was updated in the file: only thing i saw other than certs was the wpa_supplicant file

2. find an original version of said file and replace it: I did this via WinVista instead of terminal for couple of reason the primary being that i couldn't remember the command to copy/paste in linux and i wasn't sure if the terminal could extract and re-zip files.

so plugged into the laptop i pulled files and tried updating first in the regular again, then in clock world with similar results and the same problem.

Ieventually tried posting a question on the linux forums because it was quickest and i usually get fast answeres, however, i was impaitent so i ended up doing the most fatal part of this. I decided to do a factory reset.

I started with the main recovery util and used the reset:

1. i still had the same problems with wifi

2.ALL my APPS (including my emulator and root access, the most important of al my apps)

I then tried the UI factory reset and got nothing.

Becoming frustrated I tried really just a freak, last ditch attempt. used the coby update found on there site and it fixed the wifi. I am now lacking Gapps and my other apps but i can now get those back cuz i have wifi....whew
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
My motorola xoom gets great battery life when I use it.. However, When my tablet is asleep, i drained 25% in 6 hours

When I looked at battery uses - it showed android OS was eating up the battery while asleep/standy by -

Anyone know what is causing Android OS to be burning my battery while asleep?

I am on airplane mode with wifi on, and the ONLY running services i have are

"settings" ; "thumb keyboard" ; and "google services"

I am NOT rooted, im running the latest update 3.0.1

additionally, I dont think its a battery issue, as I get great battery with continuous use.
[Xoom General] aohus:
looks like theres background services running. make sure you're not pulling updates for any of your apps overnight.

proper test, is to have no 3rd party applications, and leaving it overnight.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
The only things I see running are the three I mentioned above.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
"Android OS" can contain the background update services.
[Xoom General] orionshock:
What do your wifi settings look like? the simple idea that the antenna is on or scanning for something that's not there will drain life too
[Xoom General] burden010:
Yep, if your settings are to poll every 10 mins for email, facebook, twitter etc then it'll take a definite toll on your battery.

[Atrix 4G General] i.mac:
Hi,

I just got my atrix today. Regarding unlocking, is it through a code or can we unbrand by rooting?
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
you have to obtain an unlock code.
[Atrix 4G General] GCMartins:
Hey guys, how can I get this code?
[Atrix 4G General] jenarelJAM:
Ignore him. It's not "locked" in the sense that the old feature-phones were "locked", but there will be certain features that are "locked", such as sideloading apps, tethering, etc.

Essentially, you will need to search these forums for certain mods that allow you to do the things you want. For instance, to enable tethering, you simply have to find the thread that tells you how to add an APN and what settings to give for it. To sideload apps, you'll need to root your phone to get around AT&T's restriction on that.

Both of these things can be found in this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=997

(as well as other cool things, some of which require more computer proficiency than others)

Just search until you find a thread that interests you.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Just wanted to throw this in here. According to i.mac's profile, he's with Rogers which would have different APN settings so that mod would not work unless he had the appropriate settings for his carrier.

With that said, the aRoot method also has some changes to APN settings so I would look for confirmation on that working for Rogers as well.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Also, I think he does mean unlocking from the carrier as he mentions "unbranding"

Before flashing the zip I formatted data and system under mounts and storage. After flashing the zip the nook was stuck on the gray n logo.

I just recently hacked my nook color using the auto-nooker v 1.1.0

everything went smoothly and i had my device running fine. i wasn't able to log-in to my gmail account because everytime i was typing it kept changing my letters or adding new ones (this was incredibly frustrating) so i ended up skipping that step.

I powered my nook off after doing some exploring, hoping that we it re-started i would be able to log into my gmail account easier.

when I tried to power my device on it wouldnt start... i plugged it into my computer and it powered up to the "n" logo and adope information and then turns blank.

i have tried to un-plug, re-start my computer, take micro sd card in and out but nothing..

as of right now my nook color isn't working at all, if anyone has any suggestions on how to help me, please do. :)
[Nook Color General] subcan:
Hey pinkll,

The first post in this section discusses fixing your problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699

The following is some advice on using Win Image 32, which is required in above link. This can be confusing.

A) Download the following software to your PC/MAC for formatting your XD card. This is the best one that I have found.

SD Formatter 3.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC:

- Format your XD card. This step is very important to correctly write the EXT4 compatible bootable SD recovery.

B) You will need “Image Writer for Windows”

- I found that the “0.1 (truckstop) release” worked the best. The newer version seemed to always have some problem.

- Paste the unzipped folder to you C:\ directory. Put the EXT4 compatible bootable SD recovery file in the same folder. This will help prevent issues. This software is originally intended for a Linux environment and thank you to the developer for making it compatible with Windows.

- Make sure that the chosen device is your XD card. It automatically selects the correct one, but you never know. Go to “my computer” in windows and check to see what Letter has been assigned.

- Choose the EXT4 compatible bootable SD recovery file from Image writer directory.

- Click the “write” button. This will take a few minutes to finish.

- Now you can copy misc files to the flash drive. It is ready to boot your Nook into Clockwork Mod Recovery.

They don't trust me yet on this site, so I cannot post links to other sites. The required links are in my original post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997764

Let me know it this helps.

[Nook Color General] pinkll:
thanks for the response

i didn't remove that card before i re-started. i was unaware of this until a while after i crashed.

-i found a solution though. i wiped my device and started all over. it's now working great

thanks for much for the reply!!
[Defy General] yudhistre:
Hi all,

I have bought a couple Motorola Defy [T-Mobile - unlocked] from NegriElectronics and the phone is a great phone. The Big problem that I am having is that the signal strength that this phone is showing is always VERY low as compared to my T-mobile G2 that I also bought from negri and unlocked.

The first defy i left it at stock 2.1 @ 2.34.1

The other defy I flashed 3.4.2-155-2 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite.

The flashed defy show a 4dBm increase to the original but it still crappy

Everything in the phone works, and it is fast. But the Bloody reception drops to one bar and sometimes go into Emergency Call Mode.

I'm in Trinidad in the Caribbean and it is not the sim or the carrier because i placed the sim in my G2 and it gets full bars.

What can I do to improve the reception on my Defy's?????

THANKS

[Defy General] scrannel:
I hope UNRAFA's solution works for you, but if it doesn't... just because your SIM works in the G2 doesn't necessarily mean it will work in the Defy. Not sure why. When I bought my Defy I had recently upgraded my SIM and it worked for a while -- then went off the rails reception-wise. T-Mo had me upgrade to a uicc SIM and that solved the problem. At least for me.
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Actually the Chinese had made a baseband switcher apk which collected nearly 20 baseband settings of various defy roms worldwide. Unfortunately it has no English translation.
[Defy General] yudhistre:
Hi All,

It has nothing to do with the sim (I am sure) and the Chinese application i cannot read :(

Is there any other tweaks that I can do to help the reception?
[Defy General] unrafa:
Seriously, the link i gave you contains all the information, the basebands, BaseBandSwitcher.apk to install and do it with a click, every option is in chinese but it got a number next to it matching the firmware version, and i think its prety much universal numbers and easy to guess, but yet a translation of every option of the program has been posted.. :confused:

And yes, there are other options to get better 3g editing build.prop but despite good reports from people, that has not been proved to actually increase 3g speed and i wouldn't recommend doing that.
[Defy General] heygrl:
Compared to my Samsung Vibrant 2G reception was very poor out on rural interstates, but perfectly fine in the city and it has much better 3G reception than the Vibrant. I think there was a problem with my original.. I got a new one and I will be testing it out soon.
[Defy General] yudhistre:
Ok, I see the baseband thing you were talking about, tried it, but i seem to get an increase of 4dBm on the signal:confused:

BTW, there is NO 3G here, just 2.5G/EDGE, hence I dont really care about the Internet speed. I just need a better reception.

I compared this phone to the 3 Nokias in the household and all the nokias were showing 5 bars, while the Defy was at 2

Something is really messed up with this. Is there any way to manually increase the tX and rx power of the radio ????

I'm on Pays 5.0 and still not much difference with the new radio/sbf
[Defy General] unrafa:
Baseband 3g fixes, not only fixes 3g speed, it fixes reception too. Just apply the fix for your country and you are done, theres also ZERO danger for your phone, you can apply patches one over another untill you get the one that best works for you.

An easy test is switch between "2g only , or 3g only" and watch reception bars for voice calls. If you have 3g slow speed or bad reception, you need a patch.

And regarding your "Nero" Theme, would you mind if I took a closer look at it to see what I could do with it for/with CHT?

Can you fix this?

This theme is not for CHT2.0, and only for the original Mini, I do not use CHT.

If you install this theme with CHT do not know what happens in your screen is already wrong calendario.This theme and without CHT.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Kuckuckmann, regarding the files, this is not a CHT Theme, so for the files you might have to change some names or mod them yourself. I was going to "port" it for CHT Mini this WE...., but since you already installed, I might help you solve the issues and point you to the files ;-)

CHT Caledar uses some of the O files for it, as well as some for the tasks, while in O Home, the files used for calendar and missed calls are a bit different. So if you give me some time until tomorrow, I might have a solution for this. This will only work though if you have not installed/applied any other mod regarding the originalm CHT files like transparencies etc...

For the inner slider, you also have different files. One for the bar, and another one for the slider selector. Here, in case you want to use and have the same look, you simply have to rename two files:

The ones you like are:

- 1cd2f8ef_manila, which is the slider selector on tab bar

- 511c6915_manila, which is the tab bar itself

These are the ones you have to (backup first) rename:

- 695552fb_manila, which is the slider selector on inner menues tab bar (also in SMS, Footprints and other tabs that have an inner/second menu with bar and slider)

- 26972a21_manila, which is the one for the inner menues tab bar itself - see upper notes as well ;)

@keko, could you please indicate where you have your taskbar from? nice icons and also if it works well and everything is skinned ?
