I have replaced my desire with the streak .. wow I was worried I wouldnt like the streak or 1.6 but the streak IS A BEAST ... whats funny its also quicker than the desire when it was on 2.1 as I only got 550 on quadrant but I get 652 on the streak so its gonna be even faster when 2.2 arrives !
Question I am using the normal email system to download my emails as I have sky and live email ... I use to use the gmail system but I lilke having the emails seperate ....
Is there a widget which you can get to fit in the superb black box outline which will show me the undread emails ?? I have the email widget on my second home screen but would like an indication on the main page ... I know we have notifications but I would like something bigger
Just another quick one how can I get swype ?? I cant find a download for it for the streak and cant get on the beta cos its ended for now ...
I've been using swype since i had the streak, since last night it won't type the swyped words, obviously to do with the beta being closed, but hell, i'm missing it massively. When will it be available to buy?
I have the swype installer but it just says the beta has ended, it still types like a normal keyboard though. The swype website states the new beta is available, but i haven't recieved an email from them yet.
Sorry, can't help you with the email widget problem either.

I have a Moto Backflip atm but might upgrade to the x10. Now I can live with out Motoblur, but is there a similar feature on the x10? I was under the impression the motoblur type function of syncing contacts to social netowrking sites was only a motblur feature but my friend with a Samsung Epic said he can do the same thing and said he thought this was standard in android, or is this is a Samsung UI similar to Motoblur?
Another thing I love about the bflip is the ability to activate the camera LED as a flashlight. Is there an app to activate the light manually?
Also, with ATT locking down the backflip from installing apps directly from the SD card, I wondered if this lockdown applied to the x10 to? I know apps can be side loaded and this can be bypassed with software hacks, but just wondered.
What version of Android ships on the phone? What is the latest version available in a custom ROM that is actually stable?
TImescape will allow you to do the facebook-contacts thing. I do not activly use timescape but rather ran it thru the set up once and that was the link in the chain. Furthermore do not task kill timescape or freeze it with Titianium as this will break that chian.
Flashlight- http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/xperia-flashlight_gowc.html The widget even looks like a tiny X10, It's kinda funny. Press tiny xperia and bam light is on.
I have it on my home screen near the middle, I work nights so I use it every night to make my way to the bed and not wake up the wife with the real bedroom light.
We get 1.6 out of the box, We have a nice stable Global Generic firmware flash for 2.1 . I am an ATT customer in the USA and I use this FW with no problems.
There is a 2.2 out but I hear more bad than good so I'm gonna chill right here with my 2.1
I see timescape does facebook and twitter. I assume it does myspace as well? This looks like it is standard on the x10. Is that correct? I have found video of it on youtube but the one thing i cant find is what the screen looks like when you click a contacts name in your phone book except one, and that only showed twitter. Am I correct to assume it will show a tweet/status and the contacts phone number just like motoblur? Does it allow you to write some one on say facebook right from with in your phone book with out launching facebook? Again I can live with out the social networking stuff but just curious to see how it works and obviously do not feel comfortable putting my data in the demo phone at the store to test this aspect of the phone.
When you say global generic 2.1, I assume you mean just plain ol stock 2.1 with out any modification at all? I use the Preclair rom on my bflip so 2.1 is a must for me.
Last but not least, how are things coming in terms of kernals for the x10? Is the 2.1 rom still using the stock kernal from 1.6 or is it newer?
What about installing apps? Do we have to sideload like the backflip or is there already a patch to fix this?
Thanks for your time AKA_Rizzo. I apreciate it!
the 2.1 upgrade has as "social phonebook" which syncs with social networks. don't know about Myspace though.. never used it..
I use the Facebook app that comes preloaded on the phone as it's a richer, more complete solution.
not 100% on this but I think that the kernal we had on 1.6 was the 2.1 kernal.. and we're still on it..
Global generic is the SE global generic, without all of the networks own guff added on top..
My company has been testing Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.2 for the last 6 months. I was running it on my Incredible and then on my Thunderbolt running a Froyo rom with zero problems.
I flashed all of the new Gingerbread roms for the Thunderbolt and successfully installed Lotus Notes Traveler. When it connects for the initial sync it fails to connect. Occasionally it will give an Error (32). Checked IBM's website and it states that an error 32 is related to memory not being available. Also, when I tap the Calendar and Mail icons they both force close.
Confirmed server, user name and password are all correct.
Tried Fixing Permissions via ROM Manager and CWR. Still force closes.
My guess is that Traveler is not compatible with Gingerbread, but my manager is running a rooted EVO with a Gingerbread rom (Fresh 4.0.0.4) and Traveler worked fine for him after a few fix permissions.
Has anyone else seen or experienced this issue?
Any ideas for how to get it to sync?
TIA!
I'll try and install it tomorrow when I get back to the office. Will let u know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply.
I talked to our Notes Admin today and he said that he's waiting for v8.5.3 update from IBM. First they said May, now they're saying June. He said that as soon as he gets it he's gonna implement it. I'll know right away whether that was the issue.
Let me know if you have any luck getting it to run on a gingerbread rom.
I just upgraded my EVO to Gingerbread. I had to uninstall and reinstall Traveler, but it is working. I am using 8.5.1 on my EVO, but had to use 8.5.2 on my Honeycomb Transformer (we have different servers running different versions here).
I have not had any success with Traveler on gingerbread so far. Reinstalled from scratch several times but it force closes every time I open it.
I cant even get our server to detect my phone its annoying. so now i am using a trial of touchdown.
Man.. I thought I was the only loser that had to use lotus notes for work. I ran into the same exact issues as mentioned above: Error 32. I read somewhere else that someone got it working on CM7 GB, but haven't tried it yet. It's very frustrating.
Bump... Anyone get Traveler to work on Gingerbread?

My manager and a peer both have EVOs running Gingerbread Sense 2.1 and Traveler works perfectly on their devices. I tried all current versions of Gingerbread Sense roms for the TBolt, with variations of kernels and radios, and it just won't work. The Traveler admin just upgraded the client to 8.5.2.3, but it made no difference.
While I was still hung-up on Sense, I decided to run Commontime mNotes and it worked great. I actually prefer the native android mail client to the traveler client, but didn't like the idea of having to have a machine on just to forward my email, or the additional security risks.
I have since switched to CM7 and Traveler works fine. As much as I love Sense, I am going to stay on CM7 for Traveler and because the battery life is just awesome.
I'll update if we find a solution.
i am running gingeritis 3d build II with mr2 radio and touchdown exchange. lotus notes works fine
I also use Notes at work. I was disappointed when I couldn't use the BAMF sense 3.0 ROM. Apparently something with Sense on GB cause FCs. I switched to the CM7 1.2 (wipe, wipe, wipe before installing) and it has been stable AND Notes Traveler works now.
Went from an Evo to ThunderBolt... DAMN YOU LOTUS NOTES
Getting the same issue here. I just switched from Sprint to Verizon, and got the thunderbolt. Every single GB Rom other than CM7 FCs when launching Traveler. Froyo is fine... this sucks.

Are your colleagues rooted on the EVO? I'm a big fan of sense, and this is, as many others have already stated, depressing.
**bump**
In case anyone still having issues. Lotus Notes works with the new Uber rom.
Just a quick update. The Notes admin at my company updated Traveler to Version 8.5.2.3 201106031053 last week. Traveler now works on any Gingerbread Sense-based ROM!! Only tested a few roms so far, but it looks like it works!
Our admin updated lotus notes server today and it runs fine on BAMF forever 1.0.6
Hi, after using my HTC Hero since it was launched I finally recieved an SGSII at work.
I really love the phone, and have been able to tweak most things to my likings, but the iPhone-wannabe-ish SMS thread viewer is definately not to my taste. No big issue, ofcourse, but I'm still posting about it in case some of you skilled Android-hackers/users have an easy solution. On my Hero I really loved the look of the SMS app in FroydVillain (Froyo) and Decked (GB). I'm honestly not sure, but I think they both ran stock unthemed SMS apps. Black baground, white text, clean interface without those silly bubbles. I've been trying to do a Google image search but haven't found out how the stock SMS app really looks in ICS so I don't know if the cartoonish iPhone-bubbles are from TW or AOSP.
I dont want some bloated and ugly SMS apps like Handscent or Go SMS that I've heard cause problems like duplicate sms-es.
Also, since the phone is my eployer's I want to avoid flashing/rooting it, so simply installing mms.apk from a different ROM is not possible afaik.
So, any suggestions? I guess I'm sort of hoping someone already compiled a binary/apk based on mms.apk that can easily be installed and used as the default messaging app.
Is there any way to lie to the Gmail app so that it will use the two-pane Honeycomb-and-up (tablet) Gmail interface on a Froyo ROM? I love the stability and speed that Froyo ROMs give me on my gTab, but I hate the single pane, subject only list in Gmail. I have tried several HC, ICS, and JB ROMS because of my intense hate of the Gmail interface on Froyo, but I keep coming back to it.
Any hacked apps out there that provide this functionality?
