please help me pick - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

ok i have wm6 i got it here like 3 mounths ago. i dont know what kind it is. but i need a new one. my calls arnt comming in and my e-mail is not working too well. i want something that is stabel, nice, and one thing that is a must is have the phone contacts thing. on mine there is a bar on the top when you opent the phone where your contacts are. thanks

There are already tons of "what should I use" threads - read them and then experiment. No one can tell you what you should use.

well i know. but i dont know of any that have the phone contacts on it. do you know what i am talking about? i will send a pic if needed

please someone. it is very annoying. my friend called me 10 times today (yes i am positive i have service) and i did not get it or get a reminder

Try doing a hard reset (Clear Storage) after backing up your contacts etc and see if it resolves the issue. I'm not going to suggest a rom since you should do your own research.

ok i think i got one. now for the contacts bar, is there something to get that. i will upload a pic in a sec. but i am going with the xm6r3

Can anyone help me? E-mail/Camera Problem

Sorry to bother anyone. But can anyone please post the fix (Whether registry or .cab or even written) for the bug that prevents e-mail account modication/Creation of new account once you have used the camera. I'm using Lt. Ivans Last Release (It's amazing, only thing left for me is this bug.) Thought it was fixed but i have experienced it twice on this rom.
I really love this rom and would very much appriciate any help in regards to this matter.
Thanks

Took me 10 seconds to find, using the 'SEARCH' feature of the forum. Handy tool that, people should use it. In case this isnt what you are looking for, maybe you should give it a try?

Sorry to inconvience you for 10 secs.
Did do a couple of searches but just brought up rom updates that included the fix as part of the rom. Maybe i could get some lessons in using it effectively using principled key words.
Very much appreciated that there are people out there who still care and enjoy to put us down at every turn.
Hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me and show some compassion.
I love you guy's, oh and girls.. (Anyone seen my Universal?)
LOL
Thanks

Their signup page has changed so many times I'm worried because I signed up when it was first available and it's almost a completely different form now.
Should I sign up again?

i have also heard from another person that they started sending out sms's....

I'm keeping a close eye out. I signed up to recieve an sms 12 days ago.
So do we know for sure if they have started sending out text messages to people? I know their website changed thursday night, but they haven't updated their blog or anything.

I got the text message with the confirmation link. Clicked on it, but my phone wouldn't connect to the internet, so I soft reset. The text was gone after the phone came back on! I'm so annoyed. Anyone know how to recover a lost text message?
I signed up after i read about it on engadget. I actually installed it. Must say it does load desktop views fast as hell. Reminds me of the iphone where you have to zoom in. to a certain part of the page. It actully plays youtube videos in the webpage much like your desktop. i had to download it like 20 times to get it to open up. Man its fast. I thnk its fast becasue it doesnt load the entier page. you have to zoom in holly cow...
Yo, guys. Do i really need to give them my phone number to install Skyfire, or just my email? I want to try it on my PDA running Classic version, not a phone. Since now they started giving out the copies, how long would it take to recieve Skyfire. Any suggestions?

Its not supported, you have to have a phone number...
Works as advertised
Just saw I had a text message and was up and running in about two minutes on my 8525. It's fast and youtube worked natively. Going to keep testing, but looks like it will soon be my default browser.
can you tell me when you applied for the beta?..that would be a help.

Today page

I apologize in advance if this is something that is well known to all the people who can use the search engine on the forum, but I haven't seen anything like that in the postings i have read so far.
Some time today, I have got this problem that I am eager to solve. I just got my Fuze on Tuesday, so over the last couple of days I have installed a large numbers of .cab files. Apparently, after one of this installations something have changed, and on my Today page there is a white shade of the man's head (if you go to Contacts tab, for the contacts, for which you have no picture, you will see a smaller version of it)
So, my question is whether there is a way to remove it from my Today page
Thanks in advance

Looks like a regular wallpaper to me. Try to change it in TouchFlo: Settings->Wallpaper and choose something different... or restore it to default.
I believe it is so!!
Thanks, guys. Indeed the problem was solved by setting the wallpaper to default. Once again thanks a lot for your help - it is my first WM phone, so I am still learning
no worries. I know many who usually prefer the hard way to learn

Is there a way, or someone that wants to do this mod?!!!!! Notification Sound in Call

One thing I have wanted on this phone since I got it is to be able to know when a text message or other notification comes through while in a call. Like a short beep or something similar to the sound the G1 makes when the battery is low. I am not a huge coder, but love toying around with my rooted G1. Any takers? Anyone want to do this? Anyone else been wanting this??? Thanks for all who view this thread.
I think Handcent sms has this feature but we are still missing gmail and other notifications
Maybe someone can get this done, this is one of the few things that has bothered me about my g1 since I got it.
I know this isn't the place to ask, but a way to have the keyboard along with the face buttons stay lit until the keys lock would be the best thing. It's annoying to move the trackball every time to just get those buttons to light up every time.
Unless there is a way and I've just missed it every time.

i second the hancent sms. only one i know that does it and you can get rid of those annoying ass bubbles.
and, jesus people, stop with the unnecessary flame war. :/ really wtf are you guys gaining from any of it?
meltus if it does, what rom are you using? i could have sworn it was an options on cyanogens, but i can't find it anywhere it would be so i'm going to have to say its hancent sms. are you using that as your msging app?

Obviously you people aren't READING THE WHOLE THREAD.
We are aware that Handcent covers SMS/MMS notifications in voice calls, but what about gtalk, gmail, facebook, MSN, ect.
As far as I can gather, Handcent DOESN'T do this.
The OP is asking for someone to see if it's possible to modify the Phone.apk to include this. All of you "Members" and "Senior Members" need to get off your high horses, if you're true senior members (likely not the case as most of your post counts probably come from slamming people who "DO EVERYTHING WRONG!!!") remember the days when the Android section of this forum was still relatively young, everybody helped everybody, regardless of how unusual or stupid their questions seemed. These days if you're not 100% perfect in your initial post, you get slammed. Leading to more completely useless posts from all of you "Senior Members" that are taking up EVEN MORE space with useless drivel that's EVEN MORE useless than the OP.
I personally think this is a great idea, and whole heartedly support it, if I had the slightest idea how this is done, I would be on it right away.
Also, before anybody slams me for being wrong, I have never used Handcent for my SMS handler because I prefer the modified one that comes with my CM build, but if it DOES allow notifications for ALL APPS through calls, it could have saved a great deal of time to mention that.
This gets my support as well. I dont like Handcent. So if we can make it work with the standard APK, it will be awesome. I have asked around, for it to work, its not the Phone.apk that needs to be modified, its the .apk that giving out the notification that has to be modified. example is
for sms/mms, the mms.apk needs to be modified to check the phone status, and give out the correct sound notification. (not in call, use selected sound clip from external speakers; in call, use small beep sound in the ear speaker.)
same goes for gtalk,gmail,twidroid and any other apps that have notification.

Good to see some serious input here finally, depressing to know it would have to be handled by the corresponding application, being as some of them are off limits (gtalk/gmail/ect).
At least someone still has their head on straight here.

I'm sorry. I usually post something constructive, but this kind of crap makes me mad.
Why does it bother you that he had more than one question? How can you even complain about that? Uh oh, I just used 2, I probably have a "metal disorder" too, huh? You know what people accomplish by asking questions? They learn things. Yes sir, it is people like YOU, who don't ask questions or even make the slightest attempt to educate themselves, who shouldn't be "allowed to breed." When people like you breed, we get thick skulled smart-asses who think they're tough on the internet.
P.S. You used 7 extra periods that weren't needed. Your first sentence was a fragment. You used one capital letter. You used the wrong form of it's the first time. You used the wrong form of you're. You forgot a period after retard. It's supposed to be "mental" disorders. You used an ellipses incorrectly. You used "where" instead of "were."
P.P.S. His sentence wasn't even a fragment (I'm assuming you mean't "typed" instead of "type"). "I'm an idiot," says Mr. Grammer and Punctuation. There you go. Stop trying to be a hero for the board, that is the mods job. You saying "OMG RONG [email protected][email protected]!!" isn't helping a thing, considering 90% of people who post in the wrong thread just post one time. Especially when there are people before you that have pointed this out. I know it gives you an ego boost, but seriously, keep it in your pants. You are the one filling xda with garbage, not the people who have a question about a feature they would like to see implemented on their phone.
Thanks for bearing with me, everyone else.
Stefan, find something better to do than insult people in a forum. Next time you see something in the wrong place and someone has acknowledged it, I dare you to just skip over it.
I was going to delete this as well but it makes my point so much easier to make and its not a flame post or very hostile.

Obviously, you're not reading the whole thread, bro. We are putting suggestions out. So what if we miss two words? You're complaining about something that's not happening. We're still TRYING to help.
But, back on topic. Now that I know this, I support. Would be quite useful, as I have it set so apps get killed on screen off and it seems everytime I press "End" on a call, it goes blank and only thing that keeps me knowing I even have a sms is "Sms unread count" widget.

I do sometimes, especially when coordinating stuff with a few people. It will be something like talking to someone, then getting a text to update me on information to relay to the person I am talking to. Stuff like that.
Other times its just an compulsive need to reply text as soon as it comes in.
Also, another reason why you need to know if a text comes in while in a call : having 2 girlfriend. (not that I have 2 anyway)

I have the TTSnotifier app and it will announce the callers name, if they are in my contacts, from call waiting. I also have it set to notify me of incoming texts as well. Doesn't work with email though. You will need the text to speech app from the market for it to work. You can customize the announcements. Hope maybe this will help. Can't remember where I got it from but I can e-mail it to you. [email protected]

Just emailed you.... I don't care if I don't get my texts or email but the absence of "call waiting" notification has been driving me nuts... to the point of really thinking of getting rid of G1. I mean, this is so basic, we shouldn't have to find workarounds just to enable this. If that app does that... it would be like a gift from heaven.

updating widgets

im not sure if this is the right area, if not can a mod move it to the correct one. thanks.
Basically i was messing around on my friends iphone and I had never thought before, but as im sure some will know the apps on iphone update for example the facebook app will have a little 1 on top of the widget to let the user know they have a notification. I was just wondering why ive never seen anything like this for android, is there a reason why it cant be done? if there's already a way to do etc. then let me know please, i just think it would look good. thanks.
i kno there is a app called sms unread, but its only for sms messgs, gmail, and email i think
yeh im thinking more like the windows 7 phone with the updating widgets.
