    Annoying 2.1 bug

    Hopefully Froyo will fix it. When I am on a call, sometimes I press Back rather than Hang Up. The call continues, the display goes off, and it's impossible to get the phone back on again, pressing On, the screen lights up for a while then goes off again. I have to wait for the other user...

    Confirmation of 2.2 Froyo on Legend (and at least one bug fixed).

    Emailed HTC, as there is an annoying bug in the current 2.1 version, where country code does not work with the numbers the mobile network send (it treats numbers with country code +xx and those without and just a 0 as DIFFERENT). HTC confirms this will be fixed in the HTC Legend 2.2 release.

    Translation app that works offline.

    Google Translate is great, but it's crippling fault is that it needs a data connection to work. Obviously the only time I am going to need language translation tools, is the same time I don't want to pay for roaming data access!! Are there any good (and preferably free, or minimal cost)...

    Help Missing marketplace apps on Wildfire.

    There is thousands of missing marketplace apps on the Wildfire marketplace, compared to the marketplace I can see on my HTC Legend. Same country, same carrier. None of my apps are on there either, none of them copy protected, and none of the particularly complicated to tied to a specific...

    Root Some quirks after rooting (differences between Hero root and Legend root)

    Things were simplez in Hero Root-land, but seem to be a tad more complicated in Legend Root-land.. When I try and use AdFree, it reboots the phone. The notes I made to remove stuff from the Hero system apps area no longer works. (I wanted to pull out PDFViewer and QuickOffice) I also...

    Hmmm, not much Rooting info. (coming from Hero, where it's rife). What gives? is it possible to root a legend? Can you use recovery images and alternative roms? Can someone give me the lowdown on where the Legend is right now compared to the Hero. Thanks.

    Anyone watch Microsoft's E3?

    Embarrassingly bad. Nothing much to announce in the way of games. A new Xbox that aside from Wifi is the same as the old one. A PS2 Eye-Toy copy. A subscription based ESPN tie-in for Xbox Gold subscribers. Yawnfest. Hopefully Sony and Nintendo will have something more worthwhile...

    Android reports it's browser UA as a Apple handset!

    Note the navigator.vendor string Surely this leads to artificially inflated stats regarding iPhone use.. I got this capture from my HTC Hero running official HTC 2.1 ROM

    Why people use Adblockers...

    Because sites don't care what they show... Example: (nice little trick to get you to click the link there...) I usually allow ads on sites I support, as I realize how things work and how sites make their money, but when these things start, out comes Opera's content blocker.

    Apps Populating an AlertDialog from an ArrayList<>

    Hi, can someone give a newbie a bit of assistance. I am more used to Windows development (C/C++/C#) than Java and Android. I thought I'd take a stab at a Android app. I want to create an AlertDialog populated from a ArrayList<MyType> where MyType is a class of string and a int. (I want to...

    Root What will happen when GSM Hero 2.1 releases with regards to rooted phones?

    Will people smarter than me be able to create an exact replica of the HTC rom that suitable for flashing onto phones that boot the recovery image, so it retains the recovery image? (and thus keeping open the possibility of moving a any future homebrew 2.2 images etc). Will people smarter than...

    Root Villian 5.3 still the best bet for RELIABLE 2.1?

    I want to run a 2.1 ROM (because I use Google Navigation). However reliability is my number 1 criteria. I tried Sense2.1 (v2) and had a pretty miserable experience, I am now using Villian 5.3 and reasonably happy. IS this this the best bet for RELIABLE operation on HTC Hero?

    Root PDF Viewer missing from Villian 5.3?

    Seems a major oversight.. Can I download the stock one that came with HTC standard firmware from anywhere? All the ones people seem to be recommending are 10 day trial versions :-(

    Open Handset Alliance - Poor at marketing Android!

    Let's be honest, Joe Public has no idea what Android is, or what any smartphone runs. There is iTurd and everything else (in their minds). It's clear to me, that any phone running android, needs to have a Android robot logo or something on the box and promotional material, so people can...

    There is so much out of date/generic/incorrect/contradictory stuff on the net, it's hard to know what to follow. I have a G2 Touch shipped a couple of months ago and running the latest T-Mobile firmware from the UK website. I have tried the "quick" method, that just involves running the...

    Root Can rooting be temporary? Will I lose anything in the long run?

    Have a HTC Hero on T-Mobile in the UK. Getting tired of waiting for the official 2.1 update, and wondering if I should tinker around with some of the custom 2.1 roms. Before I do so, It's essential I understand what I am letting myself in for. Can someone answer these questions (in a simple...

    Apps REALLY good Android Dev introduction.

    1hr long video on Youtube, by Google themselves. Easily embarrassed Mac owners might want to avoid it thou :-) YouTube - Google I/O 2008 - Building an Android Application 101 This really deserves a sticky personally, as it's a great intro to Android Dev, and got me off to a great start.

    Annoyance - Screen turning off during call.

    My main gripe, is that the display turns off during a call. My instinct has already been to push the On/Off button to turn the display back on, but this also hangs up the call. GRRRR... I also find it VERY cumbersome that by default the numeric keypad is not there, a ALOT of calls are...

    Whoooaaa, Android US Carrier stats..

    That's mighty impressive... iPhone OS still dominates mobile web; Android on the way up All going the right way globally, but US is leading the way. Clearly Android is going nowhere, and with a tonne of new phones packing Android 2.1 hitting the sheves now, that green bar is going to get...
