Having seen similar threads i know im not the only ex symbian user, not that i didnt enjoy my time with it but its time to move on! ive tried to see if this question has been repeated elsewhere but i couldnt so i do apologise if i missed it!
on my previous symbian devices n95 and 5800 if i used an app that required web access be that wifi or over the network it always asked me if i wanted to allow this, and i thought it was a good feature. now i just got a HTC desire and for financial reasons couldnt get an unlimited data plan from o2 in the uk just yet otherwise id be happy to let it be on all the time.
now it seems that if you want devices to connect you either have the wifi on or off, same for the mobile network. does anyone know if there is a setting or app or anything in the pipeline that might emulate this symbian function? maybe its me just being a bit funny but i found that level of control good and it didnt mean i had to go backwards and forwards turning stuff on and off. if its not possible im sure ill get used to it but it would be a good feature!
secondly i have a Ford Focus euro model with a built in bluetooth hands free to the stereo, a factory fitted option which i believe uses a nokia Bluetooth module (stereo is sony) now this really is a minor quibble but on the old phones when the bluetooth was on any incoming calls would push the ringtone through the speakers untiill i answered it
using the desire the phone still rings normally with whatever ringtone i have but it pushes a plain ring ring through the speakers, anyone know a way to change that? or mute the phone when it rings and just push the ring through the stereo?
Can I install Android on Symbian Phone?
View 15 Replies View RelatedApologies if this has been asked and answered, i didn't see anything that looked relevant when i searched. And yes, I am an android n00b.First of all i LOVE this freaking phone. Yesterday (the day I got it) was perhaps the single worst performance I've ever had at work for a single day.I am in THAT much in love.But there's one persistent problem.When I bought the phone at a corporate store, the CSR tried 5 times to sync my contacts from my old samsung omnia.Every time, the incredible said that the sync was successful but the contacts never showed up.My only recourse is to manually reprogram all my contacts.I'm in the "b"s now and I have work at 6 AM.I know I can sync my winmo contacts to gmail, but I don't use gmail primarily and would like my phone contacts to stay phone contacts.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that anyone knows of that allows you to restore your call logs from a WindowsMobile format, or is there a format that I can transfer them into to be able to restore them on Android?I searched and searched and could not find anything on this.I have many cases where there are SMS threads going back several years, some containing invoicing information, and I would like to not lose them.Same with the call logs the history may be important.I've transferred them from several WinMo phones in the past, so have built up quite a history.Don't worry about size or having to put them into a format, I can worry about that, but how can I load them into the Android?Is there maybe a forum or thread that has the file formats for Android? An application that "merges" the data into Android?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI like how in winmo , you can click the top right icon area and pull up all open apps to quickly switch between them. with android, i have to hit the home screen, swipe left (usually one time) to find my app and "re-open" it again. it's a hassle. maybe android doesn't have this option, maybe it's just a winmo thing, but i'm still getting adjusted from winmo > android.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from the Touch Pro 2 with a 6.5.3 ROM to the Moment. I grew tired of the instability of WinMo and decided to jump ship to Android with a hard keyboard, so the Moment was my choice. I do miss the hardware of the TP2, but there are some software features I wish I still had, which are from HTC mainly, but maybe there are some 3rd party (preferably free) that will get me by until I can get the Supersonic (I know, no keyboard, but the bigger screen fixes that ).
1. Panoramic camera mode mainly, but also more camera features. seems bare (and slow!) with the Moment.
2. Vibrate on Long Press End Key. I have it set to Silent, but I just want a quiet notification, not nothing at all!
3. Automatically set to vibrate during appts. I think this was an HTC feature too, but it was really handy! Saves me from the embarrassment if I forget to set to silent or vibrate during a meeting. I've read that Locale does this, along with some other cool stuff, but it's $10, plus people say it causes instability.
Can anyone recommend an app to listen to actual internet radio stations rather than creating your own playlists?
I'm used to using the Nokia Internet Radio app on Symbian S60 which let you save your favourite stations from a choice of hundreds and start playing straight away by clicking on the shortcut. I've looked at Last FM and while it's probably very good, it's not really what I want. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
All SYMBIAN based end devices accept Java language Applications
(i)Does this mean that the applications made for Android would run in S60 ,without any modifications?
(ii)If not then what exactly we mean when we say the above statement? Is there any web link to which I can refer to?
(iii)What are the coding guidelines that we need to follow so that an Android application can be ported on S60 with minimum changes?
I am trying to install an application from within another application. I know the usual way it to launch an intent with Intent.ACTION_VIEW, present it to the user and let him agree and this works. What i would like to do is perform a silent install, with no user interaction. I'd like to mention that my application is a system application, it has system rights! Still i can't seem to install it using

in my manifest and used this code:

I get "No Activity found to handle Intent" on logCat. What is the correct intent to launch the installer?
I recently bought a HTC Desire.(was a loyal nokia fan till now ) . It was difficult to get used to the android version of the calendar app, which syncs with google calendar etc etc.. But my question is - is it possible to create a calendar event - like in symbian OS , where you can choose - Event , Anniversary , Task (To Do) . Issue is , I have a lot of Bday reminders, and they are not exactly "ALL DAY events" and neither do i need a reminder set for that. I prefer the symbian way where its displayed on ur home screen - on that particular day for the entire day. Is such a setting (may be using another app) possible in Android ?
View 10 Replies View Relatedi have been an avid WinMo user for 3 years now, and i'm through with it.i've purchased an Evo 4G, and am obviously enlighted to the pleasures that come from an Android phone.I have 4 gmail accounts, and an additional POP3 account, and email syncing is no problem. my main concern is being able to sync everything from MS Outlook 2007 to the Evo.I need contacts (both regular contacts as well as the contacts located within my Business Contact Manager database), notes, tasks, calendar, etc.I have read that google syncing works for the most part, but isn't there a program that will give me more of a feel like WinMo Pocket Outlook for my mail, as well as a task application that syncs with MS Office?i don't like reading/responding on "gmail" on the Evo as i lose my signature, formatting, etc that i get with a regular mail client like WinMo Pocket Outlook.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Nokia E71 (Symbian S60 v3) and am considering moving to either a Nokia N97 mini (Symbian S60 v5) or to Android, probably a Motorola Milestone/Droid.
What are the main differences between the two systems?
My priorities are a good battery life, a good push email system via imap idle, good PIM and sync to google calendar and maybe RememberTheMilk for tasks. I don't care about facebook, myspace, etc
I also like to organize my contacts into groups and I understand Android is better for this.
I know these discussions can degenerate into flames or some sort of "religion wars" (e.g. Windows vs Linux) but I'm only really interested in an honest comparison between the two systems. Much to my surprise, I could find very little on the web.
I have very little idea about mobile platform, though I am interested to program for mobile platform. Would you please compare between J2ME VS Android VS iPhone VS Symbian VS Windows CE. I would like to know which one is better, and if there is any VM technology to test the programs. Which one should I choose and why? Is there any IDE, debugging facilities?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a Symbian based phone with a ARM Cortex-A8 processor (SonyEricsson Vivaz) and was thinking on how hard would it be to try and port the Android OS for it. Obviously Android runs on a myriad of devices with different hardware so I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to SE hardware. Could some one give me a clue where to start or if this is even undertakable...
