Android :: Deciding B/w Captivate / HTC Aria?
Sep 29, 2010
So as the title says I am deciding between the HTC Aria and the Captivate. I would be sold on the Captivate but the issue that everyone seems to be having is the phone shutting itself off. Is this like a really widespread issue or is it just a normal issue with some of the phones. If the chances are high of me getting a phone with that issue I might lean towards the Aria. I like the way both phones are but I dont want to get the Cap if there's a good chance of me getting one with that issue.

I've been flashing ROMs on my Droid since February, and pretty much know exactly what to expect and what I want from those ROMs. But I'm not all that familiar with the DInc's ROMs. Both my mother and my g/f have the DInc and I've been trying to share with them the awesomeness that is rooting.I've already rooted my g/f's and have flashed a couple ROMs. Currently, she's running SkyRaider 3.3. Everything was fine and dandy until she needed her GPS (neither of us really use it, not a whole lot of traveling where we don't know where we're going). Her phone kept constantly rebooting on her while trying to use it, but was fine while not using it. I won't go into detail about how much butt I had chewed off b/c I was the one that talked her into rooting, but suffice it to say, it's time for a new ROM. Mostly, she just wants her phone to function as it should with no lil quirks. The phone is plenty fast as is, but the one major downfall is battery life. I know I've read that some ROMs eliminate the need for bump charging and just get better battery life overall.

The whole idea of the EVO 4G is being able to take advantage of the faster speed for internet/videos/applications etc. Looking at the intended coverage map for the next year or so it doesn't appear the 4G network will cover my home area. While the network will be in the NYC area sooner than later, I only spend 25 hours a week in the city, and when I get home I won't be able to take advantage of the EVO network. It remains to be seen how long it will take Sprint to roll out this network to other cities in the surrounding suburbian areas.Correct me if I'm wrong but, if the device doesn't connect with the 4G network, it defaults to a 3G network? If that's the case, then switching to a device with limited usage for me personally doesn't make sense until they get up and running in more areas, which I imagine will take at least 2 years.

I just checked tonight, and the Aria is mysteriously missing from the HTC site. Are there plans to stop production? It's still available on the AT&T site.

I have a couple of apps working using eclipse and the emulator. I now want to try the apps on my htc aria. I went through downloading the usb driver as the Android Developers documentations sans and a usb driver folder now shows up in my sdk folder. However, apparently there isn't a driver for the HTC aria in the folder.
After research some people suggested using htc sync. I donwloaded htc sync and let windows check that I had the latest version. However, my phone keeps saying that it can't find htc sync on my computer.
When I plug in my HTC aria, the device manager on my lap top recognizes two devices as listed below: My HTc under Android USB devices and a HTC Android Phone USB Device. I clicked on update driver for both devices, Windows found them on-line and verified that they were the latest. I dont understand why there are two drivers, but My HT seems to have a problem as listed below. One thing that I should mention is that I am using the dreaded VISTA.
Device Manager: Android USB Devices: My HTC Device status: Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Description: Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 37.
Problem signature: Problem Event Name:
CODE:.................
HTC Android Phone USB Device
Device Status: This device is working normally. Driver Provider: Microsoft Driver Date: 6/21/2006
So, the best I can tell is that there isn't a driver from the normal Android repository for the htc aria yet. And, for some reason my computer can't handle the htc sync drivers.
Will there be a usb driver for the htc aria that I can download from Android Developers in the future? Has anyone else been able to get htc sync to work with the htc aria? Is there anohter way to transfer my apps to the phone for development?
I guess that I can always use the ddms environment and transfer the app, but I really wanted a more graceful way to do this.

There's a new Android update posted on the HTC Support site for the Aria. Here's the description:
HTC Sync Update for HTC Aria (AT&T) (3.0.5372) | 07.09.2010
HTC Sync lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well.

I have been looking for 3 days on how to install an APK that I created with my SDK on my desktop. I was able to copy the APK from my desktop to my phone but now whenever I try to install the APK on my phone I get an message INSTALL BLOCKED For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not source in android market.
Is it possible to install a non market APK to my ARIA?

I recently purchased an unlocked HTC Aria. Since I do not have the unlock code myself, if the phone were to lock again I'd be SOL. I intend to update the phone to android 2.2, and am concerned that the phone will relock once updated. The phone is the Asian model and is running software similar to the North American with some slight differences. Will it be possible for for me to update to the North American Froyo and make things more 'American' for myself? Has anyone had an experience updating an unlocked phone's firmware? What was the result?

My HTC aria shows up when I run adb devices. It even shows the correct serial number. However, I can't find it as a target in eclipse. I am clicking on Run/Run Configurations. It brings up my project and a "target" tab. The emulator is the only thing listed, not my HTC aria.
Is there another step in setup that I have to do?

My HTC Ara Android system seems to be running high. It is at 50%, and it rises. I turned off the sync, wifi, etc. I dont have any wedgits running, and no downloaded items. Is there anyway I can lower it? It seems to be eating away my battery. The cell stand by is pretty high too.

maybe we could compile some useful links and get one of the mods to sticky? one of the big things with the Aria seems to be removal of the 3rd party app install option. This is the workaround I used.Installing 3rd Party Apps - xda-developers.Tethering (does not require root) to download remove AT&T sim card and download from market over wifi (this method works for getting all non AT&T approved apps)Google Android Tethering Solution.

It may be a low to mid level phone, but can anyone explain how that makes a difference on whether someone should buy the phone or not. Is there really anything that intensive that people would be running on their Android phone (except 3D games)?
What problems do you expect people to be having with the Aria because of this outdated processor and low resolution?

Does anyone know of a way to toggle on/off 3G? There is no 3G in my area quite yet (hoorah for living in the sticks).
Since there is no need for me to have the phone searching for 3G if it's not available. I tried to switch it off, however I can't find the setting. Has it been removed from the Aria?
I've gotten Curvefish's 2G/3G toggle widget, but no luck for me.

sometimes i get a checkmark symbol right under the 3G or E on my Aria. i think it usually happens when i am connected to wi-fi, but there is no symbol like that in the manual saying what it is. if it's just for wi-fi, then thats kind of redundant since the wi-fi signal/symbol lets me know that

I lost my battery cover (or someone stole it) from my birthday party. I cannot seem to find one online. I called HTC and they dont have one available, but maybe I got the wrong rep? I called ATT and they were no help. There is an HD Mini (somewhat of the same phone) battery cover on eBay but it doesnt have the metal connections since the battery cover of an Aria is part of the antenna. Please help me find one! Even if I have to buy an extended battery (with battery cover) so be it. I just need my phone back.

I just got my aria and love it. My problem is I have two yahoo accounts. One regular and one junk. How can I use both but in different ways. The regular I want notifications the other not. I have downloaded the yahoo app. Is there anyway to have two yahoo apps. The gmail is being used for important emails and the HTC mail is being used for work exchange mail so neither is available.

I'm thinking of getting the aria as a "weekend" phone in addition to my blackberry that I use mainly for work. Would everything work fine if I just take the sim out of my BB and put into the aria?

I've had my HTC Aria for less than 4 days and handed it to some girl and she dropped it. Well the glass screen shattered and I was curious if there is anywhere I can get a replacement for it yet? Incase anyone is curious about the drop it occured from less than 2 feet off the ground. I was in a booth when she handed me the phone and she let go of it before my hand was near. The top left corner was where the impact first hit, and is where the majority of the screen is cracked.

I found this site trying to figure out (what I'm sure you will laugh at me having problems with) how to find the audiobooks I've downloaded using Overdrive Media Console on my Aria. I searched on the forum, but my question is probably just too simple.

The earbuds that come with the Aria are huge. There is no way I can use them. I am a pretty big guy with what I consider normal sized ears. These things won't fit at all. Anyone else have this issue?
