Here is the thing. In the 90% of cases, when I'm using my X8 to do other things, such as, I don't know, using the browser, or whatsapp, or tapatalk, if I receive a new sms the window notification and the status bar notification don't appear. I can see if there is a new sms only if I enter manually into the sms application, and sometimes I find that there is a new one many hours later because I don't usually open the application The funny thing is that sometimes the notification doesn't appear even if I'm not using the phone!
On the other hand, when the sms window decides to show up, if I try to answer through the quick reply and I tap on the "send" button, the message is not sent and if I enter manually into the application, it stays like forever into "sending" and the only way to actually send it is to delete the quick reply and re-write the sms. This thing drives me crazy I think it depends on the ram of the phone, but I tried Go sms and Handcent sms, and many roms but this thing is always there!
What can I do?
I have the same problem, but only when my X8 is showing the "low memory" warning in the notification bar. When it first happened I went looking for an answer, but the closest I came was a FAQ response on the Vodafone (Portugal) site, which confirmed that it's not possible to send/receive SMS when the X8 memory is low.
I never did figure out though, whether or not this is due to operator modifications to the phone, or it's a generic problem with Android 2.1. From your comments it looks like it may well be an Android limitation...
I eventually "solved" my problem by rooting my phone and installing Link2SD - probably the single most important reason for rooting an X8 At one point in time, after pushing everything I could to my SD card, I ended up with almost 100Mb of free space...and then I discovered certain things, such as widgets, don't like to be stored on an SD card lol.
What can I do?

I guess the only thing you can do is ensure you always have at least 20-25Mb of free memory (I think that's about the point that the low memory warning appears).
Hi,
I am using W8 and i have lots of mem free on my phone, however i still face the problem. Any idea?
Well but I don't think that using only Whatsapp will bring to a "low memory" status... I mean, sometimes I only turn on the phone and do nothing, and the notification still doesn't appear -.-'
I don't know about the W8, but the "low memory" = "no sms" problem is well known and documented, at least Android 2.1 and 2.2. Here is a link to a bug report first files in November 2009!! about the issue. It's also still actively receiving comments...
Issue 4991: Can not receive SMS when internal memory is low.
http: //code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4991
One of the most interesting posts (if you spend the time to look) is probably this one:
Comment 272 by [email protected], Aug 30, 2011
@Anyone blaming phone manufacturers:
Take a look at this code (which is STILL current), common to all Android phones (from the GSM section, the CDMA version is almost identical):
Code:
134 if (!mStorageAvailable && (sms.getMessageClass() != MessageClass.CLASS_0)) {
135 // It's a storable message and there's no storage available. Bail.
136 // (See TS 23.038 for a description of class 0 messages.)
137 return Intents.RESULT_SMS_OUT_OF_MEMORY;
138 }
Then the message is *destroyed*, and apps are notified that an SMS was rejected.
The worst part is that this function doesn't even store the message. It just passes it on to the Messaging App! The whole point of having a flexible framework is that the App can do whatever it wants with the message. Who said it was even going to store it? The App could put it on the SD card, or ask the user to clear space if that is also full. Maybe it just needs to be shown once, or maybe it is a "where is my stolen phone" that must be silently responded to and hidden from a thief. Checking storage before it has even been established that the message is MEANT to be stored is astoundingly stupid. It goes against the philosophy of an open framework, and it goes against various design principles (such as leaving the responsibility of checking storage with the code that ACTUALLY STORES SOMETHING).
Whoever wrote this just wasn't thinking. They did so well at not thinking, that they went to the trouble of adding mStorageAvailable to the base class, subscribing to any updates on the storage status of the phone, and then set up a status handler that INFORMS THE CELLULAR RADIO that storage is full, implying that there is no point even informing the phone software about any messages. Thank science that the radio is smart enough to ignore this, or you wouldn't even get a "storage full" notification when the message is rejected.
Was there no code review?
The fix is simple. Delete those five lines. Remove the line that informs the radio about low storage. Six lines and the phone will function properly as a phone. Remove another few lines and there are no longer any references to low storage at all, as there never should have been in the first place.
The question is this: WHY has not not been done yet? It is not a difficult fix. A first year IT student could do it. The changes are simple. The effects are simple. Testing it is simple. It will make a fundamental phone function far more robust. Every second that this is still in the code, it seems more and more like the Android project doesn't actually care about having a working phone.
You simply can't blame the phone manufacturers. Earlier android versions considered 10% storage to be "low". For a phone with 8GB storage, that would mean rejecting a single SMS message when there is 800MB free. They shouldn't even reject it when there is 1MB or even 0MB free for reasons outlined above.
tldr; The code is stupid, the fix is trivial, Google doesn't care.

A little further down is suggested workaround (note I have not tried this, and do not recommend it unless you really know what you are doing
Comment 274 by [email protected], Sep 8, 2011
A "workaround" for this is reducing the threshold for the low space warnings.
Code:
Get into adb shell and type:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
insert into secure (name, value) VALUES('sys_storage_threshold_percentage','5');
.quit
This changes the threshold from the original 10% to 5%.
However, this doesn't prevent messages to be deleted when the new threshold is reached.

HTH.
You think it may depend on the number of saved messages too? Because the phone has not always done that, and now I have more than 5000 saved messages...
What ROM are you using?
I just tried to replicate the "low memory" == "no SMS" problem on GingerDX v022 by forcefully "spamming" the phone into low memory (17MB internal memory free after I installed some very Angry Birds to knock over some memory cells).
~90 saved SMS (received/sent) in the Messaging app ...
Sent a SMS from my Samsung to the X8 and the notification showed up perfectly - even LauncherPro is showing the (1) count on the SMS/MMS icon in the dock.
I'm using GingerCyborg. The thing it that I always receive the sms (in fact, if I use launcher pro it always shows me the (1) count on the dock), but the notification or the window showing the text message don't appear. So, I receive the sms, but I won't know it until I open the application!
Weird ... I get the Notification sound, the Notification icon in the status bar, the notification itself (pulling down status bar) AND the count-icon on LauncherPro's dock icon.
Installed one more app to make Android crap its pants (we're down to 9MB now), started gReader and had it sit there like that while sending another test SMS ... notification, as described above, still works - though Android is now complaining like crazy about "LOW MEMORY"
EDIT: Read - even when gReader is running I still hear the sound and see the SMS icon in the status bar, so there's no way I would miss out on it.
I don't know what to think, the phone has not always done that, and I tried different roms... Maybe I have the SD full of useless files? I don't know
If you assume the problem is due to your high amount of collected SMS messages ... try this ...
I take your phone is linked to some Google Account. Download SMS Backup+ and back up your messages into your Gmail account (so you can restore them when need be).
EDIT: Now stop auto-sync of your phone with Google or temporarily disconnect from the internet.
Delete a few thousand messages and try.
If the notification starts to work as expected you found the problem ... your SMS storage is "too massive" for the poor Messaging app.
If it still doesn't work clear them all out.
If it still doesn't work ... well ... I can only tell you that I don't have the problem you describe on GingerDX v022 (Stock Kernel) even when the internal storage is low on memory.
On a second thought: Maybe it's an app you installed that causes the "misbehaviour"? I don't use Whatsapp ... I only got XDA (Free version) installed (if we need something that's 'Tapatalk' at its core).
I deleted a few hundreds of sms and now the notification appears but not always. It still has the problem (but I still have a LOT of saved messages). Maybe I'll try by deleting all.

Hi i have problem some times caller id show just number when someone call me sometimes(same number) show name from contacts how to fixit
Same thing here...
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not... Actually it has only worked a couple of times...
At first I thought I was closing the ID Contact Monitor when I used an application close button (Battery Back from Omega One). But then I noticed that it still does not work even without the app closer.
Any clues?
I believe that this is probably down to the 32 process limitation of WM2003 on the XDAII 28 processes open automatically as you open programs the XDAII will close what it thinks isn't needed any more.
Can anyone confirm? :?
Hmmm... It could very well be that... :roll:
If you don't use the "permanent save" feature, then you can delete the 4 flashman files out of the \windows\startup folder.
this gives 4 more process slots. Making the number of running processes at startup more in line with a normal XDA.
wasting 4 process slots on 4 different programs that do the same thing to 4 different databases is rediculous. Having them running even when the feature is turned off is also rediculous.
..Chuck..
Yes, thanks... I deleted the task I don't use and now IACaller is working fine ever since...
Thanks!
I've upgraded to the new ROM, and only the lesser 19 processes now, meant to alleviate this problem.
In addition, it's a newer fix of Caller ID.
And even more, I removed the FOUR flashman/mem processes from startup too.
And even then, I find after just half a day of running apps and stuff, Caller ID no longer shows a photo, and requires a reboot to work properly.
Not happy at all, not in the slightest. Not in the least bit impressed, because i see little else that can be done to fix this, so no likliehood of a solution.
VERY poor to say the least.
Shadamehr,
Are you using an application closer like Pocket Plus or Wisbar?
If not, I suggest you use one. Remember that whithout an app closer you are consuming valuable resources and the X only minimizes them.
Best regards,
Rayan
I was using SideBarX.
What I find however, is that this is the WORSE thing to use, as it closes ALL apps, so if the Caller ID HAD happened to just recently update itself, it would close that too, so in effect, closing the very thing with any potential to fix things.
Alas, I find the only thing that works, is to do a soft reset twice or three times a day.
Not a great loss given how quick re-boot time is, but a bit of a stupid solution nonetheless.
Additionally, I find another slight issue, in that if I get an SMS, when I click the notification envelope on the top bar to open it (if I had left it, not catching it straight away, so the first pop up of it had already gone) then the 'speech bubble' that appears with the message in, is REALLY slow now after the new ROM update, taking a second or two to draw itself properly. I can see the outline of the bubble for a fair while before the bubble 'draws' on screen properly.
Sadly however, it even does this after a soft reset to speed things up, so I am very concerned about this aspect of things.
It worked a lot faster before the update.
The rest of the update has been a good thing for me, but I am a bit angry about the Caller ID problem still being here at least for me, but more worryingly, I am concerned at the apparent speed slow down for some things! Especially as I have read tales of others experiencing this too.
But overall, its nothing earth-shattering I guess.
Shadamehr,
As far as the CallerID problem, at first I was having the same problems but I managed to fix this by removing unwanted items on the startup folder (remember the 32 process limit?) and by using Pocket Plus, since it allows you to exclude CallerID from closing.
I also use ScaryBear Software's Check Notifications to remove duplicate events on my system's databases.
Good luck!
Rayan
Pocket Plus? Cheers mate - I'll go search now.
Here's hoping it works.
Also, the new ROM is only meant to have 19 things running. I have further removed the four flashman files from startup.
Do you know of anything else I can remove?
Cheers mate.
Can't find Pocket Plus mate (at least not as a free app).
Any link for me please?
I don't remember what things where in the Startup folder but this is the stuff I have now:
CheckAutoRun.lnk <--- No idea what this is for
ChgDfLnk.lnk <--- No idea what this is for
ClearTemp.lnk <--- I installed this

Hi all,
I've the problem with with my XDA II and IA Caller ID. It works for one or two hours and then impossible to see a picture. The only thing to do is a soft reset.
I've checked the processes and I'm now with 16 processes (using PHM Task Manager to see the processes) and when the problem occurs, the IA_Caller_ID process is still active.
For information, I use WisBar advance to really close my programs and I kill ActiveSync every time I leave the XDA from the cradle.
Thanks for your help...
hello,
Do you put pictures in your SD Card ?
If yes, try with pictures in your phone memory.
I have the same problem with ringtone in my old Qtek (first generation SPV by Orange)
Sometimes, the sdcard is poweroff to preserve battery life...
test and come back ;-)
THe picture is in "/my documents" none on the SD card
Now it's new, sometimes the XDAII doesn't ring at all. The screen lights on but no ring and no information. :shock:
guys need help..
got one annoying problem bout my alarm... ive seem to disable all my alarms but the phone still recognizes my old settings.. how to explain this errr,,, well previously ive set the alarms at 6.00 am , 6.25 am and 6.30 am... after a short while the phone hangs so i soft reset it, then after that i've set the alarm to 7.00 am,7.25 and 7.30 am, (max 3 alarms can be set) but the prob is everyday the phone alarms set off at the 6++am time... even tho ive change them all to 7++AM and there is no way to disable them since only the 3, 7oclock alarms is avaible on the list...
so now i have a total of 6 alarms...
guys how to fix this without hard resetting,,,
TQ,
Do these 'phantom' alarms show up in your notifications queue?
You need something like Memmaid or Scarybear's Checknotifications to see these.
Look at the ones called calendar xxx or clock xxxx
Make sure from the descriptions that these are notifications you want to keep, if not delete them, also delete any duplicates.
DON'T delete any other notifications, these could be needed by the system to function correctly.
When I had similar alarm problems, I did this and found I had around 500 alarm/reminder notifications, some going way back, and some for May 2047!
When I got rid of these and the duplicates, it came down to around 40 and my alarms and reminders worked properly again.
Hope this works for you
ive downloaded Scarybear's Checknotifications but i do not know which to delete..zzz calender.exe or clock.exe?

I am more familiar with SKtools and Memmaid than Scarybear, but the ones to avoid deleting are any titled repllog. If Scarybear has a delete duplicates function then you should be safe to use that. Entries for alarms may have a title such as windows\clock.exe. In sktools I can click such entries and it tells me what alarm it is and when it's set to go off (not sure about Scarybear)
Good luck
Mike
PS Get a good Full backup programme like SPB Backup and then you would not need to worry about deleting the wrong thing.
When you first run the app, it marks all the duplicates in red, just press clear to get rid of those.
The ones to look at individually are the ones like:
Clock.exe - then scrolling to the right, these should have an entry under dialog title like "daily alarm" and then dialogue text like "Alarm: Wake up 10.30"
Make sure that all these are for alarms you want, delete the ones which aren't.
the others are:
Calendar.exe, in the dialogue title these say POOM xxxx and in the dialogue text, there is a description of the appointment you have set the reminders for.
You should be able to tell from these if any are in the past ie reminders you thought you had dismissed, or indeed from ridiculously in the future like 10 years time.
Delete the unwanted ones of these.
Also worth checking are Tasks.exe entries
Plus any other apps you have which can put alarms on the system eg some notes applications
Then use the exit button to exit checknotifications and see if this improves things.
The problem seems to arise (on my device) in 2 ways.
Firstly, in the past a reminder will have come up, and I think I dismissed it, or while I was dismissing it, something else happened on the system, incoming call, another alarm, crash, anything really, and somehow the dismiss instruction never seems to have 'taken'.
The other way is using Windows mobile live client. It seems to put notifications in every time you soft reset, so you can end up with a lot of WLM duplicates. It also seems to sync a whole load of old 'stuff' to the device, together with old notifications
If you find this helps, do consider getting Memmaid or SK Tools. I use Memmaid every day to clear junk out of my device. It's not free like checknotifications, but it does a whole lot more and has repaid the investment many times over (they do a free trial). SK Tools does even more, but is also I think easier to do something 'silly' on.
Also, the one thing I couldn't do without is a good backup program. I always take a series of backups. That way a hard reset needn't mean hours of re-installation. Usually about 20 minutes max.
all right..
I did as you said and i think it worked.
Thank you so much for helping.
No probs.
Remember, this isn't usually a 1 off problem. If it does fix things, keep an eye on that queue for a while and make sure things don't build up again.
Hi guys,apologies if this is covered elsewhere but search is bringing up too many random similarities for it to adequately solve this for me and after reading the majority of threads in their entirety, times a ticking and I could do with more concrete data before finally committing to this beast myself
I would have thought that by now there would be a single thread listing the confirmed issues that multiple user's have with their device. Obviously the camera issue is well documented but are there other "issue's" ,that could be accurately described as a fault ,that affect many users?
I appreciate that what would appear to be an awful lot of the claimed faults in the Leo section seem to be down to owners not knowing how to do something that the hd2 is perfectly capable of and as such are usually solved quickly by the knowledgeable dudes on here and also that guy's/gal's aren't likely to start posting that they're perfectly happy with the hd2 therein skewing the general perception of its performance when you browse through the threads on here!

I've got a problem with the youtube links. When in opera or IE, clicking on a video doesn't load up the stock youtube client on the HD2.

Did you get yours from O2 or is it a sim free model from elsewhere with your O2 sim in it?
I get the "disable all Wireless connectionss" here too. Can't say a typo bothers me, but it's a little surprising.
Sim free hd2, ROM 1.43.405.1 (70124) No other problems i've noticed though, but I don't send all that many TXTs.

If you rely on WM to wake you up at morning you are a brave man.
Background intermittent hiss when talking
Well its looking good so far then..till now we seem to have:
A) camera pink blobby issue with a hotfix on the way..
B) sms' doing what they want but not what you want also with a hotfix in the wings apparently..
C) some background noise for a few of you
and it's looking good for me as a camera on a phone is a gimmick,I hardly ever send sms and if the background noise can be heard in my truck it'll have to be louder than its volume
Thanks for the comments guys and if anyone else has any others please feel free to add them on
I've managed to lose my opera's multitouch after a bit of tweaking and program installing, though that may well be my fault....
I also have the calendar bug
And I have a weird texting bug whereby sometimes when replying to messages, when I'm trying to type a message in phone keypad mode, when i press the button for a,b,c only 2 comes up and if i try and press another key, then the same. basically, it only outputs numbers.... its very annoying and very hard to solve!
My 'issues' so far....
Camera, pink, and unusable viewer in low light (almost cant see anything).
Battery life, maybe 1 day at best.
WM tick box's way too small for finger touch.
Volume rocker, doesnt work in 50% of my games/apps including you tube!
No haptic feedback in Opera.
No pinch zoom in IE.
Lag when entering text in sms conversation mode.
No sent sms confirmation sound or on screen notification (sent the same message 3 times before i realised it had actually gone!!).
If used to solve above problem delivery reports stay in inbox like messages so every other message is a DR!
Emails do not mark as read unless opened in WM viewer not the sense UI.
No easily accessible task manager.
Programs do not close on exit but minimize so stay running in RAM.
Screen does not rotate in all menu's/apps etc...
Opening internet based Apps does not prompt you as to how to connect ie:WiFi or OTA instead defaulting to OTA unless you have already turned WiFi on.
Facebook App is nigh on pointless, cannot 'like' anything or see comments left, etc..
Windows Mobile is way to prominent and should be buried deep behind the Sense UI, specially as we do not have a stylus!
Whole UI feels messy being not really a WM UI and not 100% Sense UI.
Thats a brutal unbiased honest opinion!
The phone itself, hardware, asthetics, etc... are all excellent but the OS and UI are a long way from the polished experience I expected from a flag ship phone.
Some of these can be fixed with Reg tweaks or 3rd party Apps but............ we shouldnt have to!

- Battery drain,
- FM radio reception quality,
- Of course, camera,
- Opera : sometimes displays web pages like Google cache: only text, no images/background
Of all listed problems, the only one I have is the camera. Not even the SMS, every time I send a message, it's delivered right away.
I have one more issue for you. After I changed timezone to Russia which don't have AM/PM time division(clock range is from 00:00 to 24:00), I can't create a new appointment later than 12:00, because in the HTC calendar I don't have an option to setup time later than 12:00 This is very very annoying.
Does anyone else have the problem with htc messaging where it takes maybe 10-15 seconds for a messaging thread to open?
I use my phone mainly for texting and I have a lot of texts on it even though its only 3 weeks old. So its very frustrating when I click on messaging and then on a thread, its so painfully slow. Is there a way to speed things up or is it maybe a rom thing?
Im using duttys v1.8 rom btw.
Yes, it is insanely slow at loading a thread. I have to export my messages regularly, cause as soon as I pass 100 in a thread it begins. Incredibly annoying!
So I am not the only one with this problem.
Some threads are ~350 messages long, and those are a pain in the bottom to load.
would be nice if someone could help us set a limit for the ammount of messages it shows, just like the old windows mobile 6.1
i have the same problem, but i find a sort of solution.
don't close the message application: click menu--> show all message, and stay here.
From this point there's no lag when you open threads. (like bertus i've more then 400 messages for every threads).
I personally clear them all out every so often (bout once a month) and always save anything important to a note file which is then syncronised with my Outlook via Activesync. But I admit its annoying, I get delay when there is 30 messages... lol
Just a thought but have any of you installed the SMS fix so that you can start a new SMS immediately whilst the list is loading. If not i suggest you do a search for it on the HTC website or on this one.
HTH
i installed it 2 days ago. but where's the difference?
i don't understand what it should do. '
...
Got the same problem.. Apart from the iphone, HTC is loading every conversation you have when you open the sms window.
Example iphone only loads 20 messages in 1 page, then you can choose to see older or newer messages...
HTC MUST make a fix to this soon..!!!! Its pretty annoying that it lag.
The SMS fix by HTC fixes the issue whereby you couldnt start to type a new message until the list had fully loaded. After installing the fix you can start a new message immediately whilst the list loads in the background. Hope that clarifies.
I do agree though that the messaging system in sense needs further work to improve it but this fix goes some way to improving it.
HTH.
tnx manimal i understand now.
Is really frustrating when the phone finishes to load the messages and the focus goes to the last one and you must re-select the type box for seeing what you are writing o.o'

I agree but at least you can make a start. I also noticed that even though the focus changes to the last message if you carry on typing it will insert whatever you have typed when you change the focus back the message input box.
You can type while it loads, yes, but the the typing becomes laggy and it doesn't catch half the buttons which are touched. I have tried to contact HTC about this, but there was no understanding to the issue...
By far and away the best solution to conversation lag is for HTC to do as others have suggested and only have the application load, say, the last 20 messages, or at least allow users to configure the number of messages loaded in conversation view. In truth, it could be less than that. Most of the time, all you really need to see is the message you're replying to. It'd be nice to have a halfway-house which offered this functionality. Like for example if you clicked on reply from the traditional view, it would have an option to show the message you're replying to at the top of the screen. Perhaps there is already a way to achieve this?

Haha.. yup, me too!
I hope, they will fix it in the next rom update.. So it doesn't load every message...
my longest conversation is around 50 messages because I prefer e-mail to sms, but although I have both sms hotfixes, it's still laggy. I don't want to know what it's like with 350 messages gj htc you failed again
is there a good 3rd party messaging program we can install to deal with this problem?
I actually think they should just go back to the regular inbox instead of htc messaging like on other windows mobile phones. that one is a lot faster although less flashy.
this is really frustrating me and I think I might give up on this great device because of the messaging lag and also because it freezes up on me at least twice a day.
Its too bad because it has a lot of potential.
I know a lot of people have been waiting for it, so it's finally here: the official Skype on Android.
Here:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-mobile/download/skype-for-android/
or in the market.
One problem: there is no option to move to SD and it is a massive file size (13 megs!).
still no joy here in Japan...
Thanks.
I'm able to install it to SD (setInstalLocation mod) and the internal memory footprint is reduced to 2.12 MB.
I haven't tried it yet, but I've noticed one thing: the app doesn't have an "exit" button. It runs in the background. I wonder how the battery feels about that
EDIT: you can "log off" and the skype notification disappears, but I don't think this closes the skype service
It does have an exit button, but it's hidden:
You need to select the "My info" tab, then press 'menu'. There's then an option to sign on.
I moved it to SD using Titanium Backup.
Not available in the market here in Iceland either
OP, can ypu please post the apk here please.
Some people still can't find it in the market yet.
Also....Finally!!!
Mine installed to SD with no issues. not fully tested yet but looks good so far.
Does anyone know what type of notification system it uses?
push or pull?
interface looks really good but worried that having this logged in all day will result in fast battery drain if its not push notification.
The other side cannot hear me - no idea why
Here is the .apk if you want to try it...

(sorry for the Rapidshre link, but at 8.5meg the file is too big to attach here).
I have another mirror with download link for the .apk here.
Here's the APK. Extract the file from the ZIP file, it's not a flashable ZIP
Working like a charm (from Japan) ! Many thanks !
this app is a big battery drainer
the most epic fail app ever ever manages to outfail the batterykiller facebook app
a) F****** HUGE!
b) login doesn't work (stock desire 2.2)
c) process just doesn't die (assuming will eat up a S*** load of battery)
why bother...
btw beta app takes up many times less space and works just fine
WAY TO FAIL UPWARDS SKYPE!!
says "can't sign in at this time"
not sure what kind of stupid error this can possibly be
signed in fine first time, i switched sim cards and switched back, and
now i have this problem
anyone have a clue ?
Just installed it! thanks for the heads up
also, living in europe means: no wifi needed!!
Yeah, I can't sign in. Doesn't even seem to try - it gives me the "Can't sign in" message immediately after i click sign in. Oh well, I'll just keep using the beta app. That one works still.
move to SD card not available
What is the: setInstalLocation mod you are refferring to? Is that only for rooted phones?
If not, how do you set it?

Thanks.
I'm able to install it to SD (setInstalLocation mod) and the internal memory footprint is reduced to 2.12 MB.

Official Skype not working with bluetooth
I have just tested the new official Skype.
As the header said: It doesn't work with bluetooth headset. Skype (beta) does!
Also, when showing all contacts it doesn't sort online contacts first. Again, Skype (beta) does.
I can't move it to SD card. So, it eats up a lot of space. 4mb for data + 12 for app. That's a lot!!!
