Hey is there an apparently that allows you to have a lockscreen that is turned off with your fingerprint?
[General Questions and Answers] Sunsparc:
I'd say no, since no current lcd has the capability to scan a finger print.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G on the Now Network.
[General Questions and Answers] o0adam0o:
The Mtorola Atrix does it with hardware. It has a fingerprint scanner built in, i dont think theres another way.
[General Questions and Answers] Izkata:
There is one that's made to look like that's what it does, but it actually has some sort of trick - a hidden swipe along the side, or something.
[General Questions and Answers] Pneuma1985:
you would need a biometric scanner in hardwired into the lcd to make it work! which is possible the technology is there just havent seen an android with this as a feature yet...
[General Questions and Answers] Nsomnia911:
there is an app in the market called fingerprint screensaver... it will make ou scan your finger/thumb 3x times to get a match... then when your phone goes into sleep/screensaver/ or lock screen you have to scan your the digit you used to unlock it.. it will run a green line to scan your print then shows a little print animation like how the feds scan prints then it unlocks or says scan failed...it only will work with the finger you scanned... I use it on my incredible its cool...
[General Questions and Answers] InGeNeTiCs:
I actually developed a lock screen replacement in partnership with google that does exactly this. It looks exactly like the stock lock screen, except while you slide to unlock it scans and validates your fingerprint. We forgot to put settings to add/remove fingerprints(users) though, so anyone who slides will gain access. Sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] Meltus:
edit: Ha, i only just got the post above :p

I believe the phone with the most simultaneous multi-touch points available at the moment is the Lg Optimus 2X, which has 10. 10 is theoretically enough to scan a fingerprint, but touch points on android phones get very confused when close together or on opposite axis and, as mentioned, no LCD screen is capable.

The Atrix 4g has a hardware fingerprint scanner and is the ONLY android phone that can do this. Saying you can do it via the touchscreen is complete crap.

Hi,

I followed the steps to root my phone using Soup or Root 2.06, which appeared to work. I got titanium backup and backed up some apps. I got clockwork mod and flashed it. I made a nandroid backup of stock. I got CM7 from

download. cyanogenmod. com/?type=stable&device=sholes

I put it on the SD card, booted into recovery and installed it. It said it worked from the clockwork screen and I rebooted. I flashed the cyanogen mod start screen for almost 3 hours and I pulled the battery. I had to reboot into recovery. I restored my backup. I went back into recovery and installed the same CM7 file, and again it said it was installed successfully. I rebooted and it flashed the start screen for another 30 minutes and I pulled the battery again, in preparation for getting a new version of CM, since mine did not appear to be working. At this point, I am unable to boot the device either normally or into recovery.

Is it unrecoverable?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nolifeking42:
Ha, just got it too boot. Recovered to my nandroid image.

Now I just need to find a ROM that works.

EDIT: Ok, I also tried Bugless Beast and had the same problem! After an hour, it still hadn't finished booting.

Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigaj:
Im having a litle trouble.I just bought a Patriot 32gb card and its copying files from my computer to my card very slow on my EVO. My 8gb card that was in it before was copying faster.Ive read the threads about setting the default to 128 and its still copying slow. I used the SD Speed Boost app from the market.Any idea whats wrong.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead_freak:
Try formatting it from the phone itself. From recovery if you're rooted. Otherwise return it, get a name brand like SanDisk or Kingston.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundwavedj:
Mine was as well. The ROM should read the speed correctly though. The SD speed test from the market showed me 10 read and 14 write. Wrong section to post in though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhauler1969:
Try Multi Mount SD-Card in the market, it will fix that issue.

I have the same exact card you have, & had the SAME problem on CM7-EX Destroyer v1 & Savaged-Zen 0.2.1-cfs. Their site, Savaged-Zen's, had this fix posted. It's a kernel problem, not a sd card problem.

& Patriot IS a name brand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhauler1969:
I'm assuming that you are rooted, if not then my bad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigaj:
Thanks fellas for the quick reply.I def no its a good bran card i ALWAYS research things before i buy.ill try your suggestions and see what i come up with.With the Speed Boost app its reading right but still slow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:

We need a real memory checker. Does anybody know if there is one availible? If not how would we go about compiling one?.
[Desire General] deanCommie:
I have seen dozens of posters on different forums having this problem, and I think a common thread may be beneficial. If the mods disagree, or if you feel this is an inappropriate place for this thread, please let me know where I should move it to, because I really would like to help others learn from what I've discovered.

I have an HTC desire, and I recently started experimenting with rooting my phone, and installing custom ROMs. I quickly realized I wanted to use A2SD but my 8gig microSD card was only class 2, so I decided to upgrade before taking this step.

I was using AuraxTSense and I bought a 16gig patriot class 10 microSD card. Unfortunately, when I put the new card in, my phone would refuse to mount it. I knew the card was good as I could use it and format it in my card reader.

I would get the message it is now safe to remove SD card, and "Disk Drive" wouldn't show up as an option when I connected the phone to my computer.

I thought the problem was AuraxTSense, so I flashed LeeDroid on there. Same problem.

I reverted the phone to my provider's (Telus) RUU, and that seemed to allow my card to be recognized. This confirmed that the fix would be in the software.

I scoured dozens of forum threads, and tried everything people have suggested, using fastboot, using adb, nothing worked.

Finally one thing did, and I would like to share it.

1) I reverted my phone to the provider's RUU

2) I re-rooted my phone using unRevoked to flash clockwork

3) I used unRevoked AGAIN to flash AmonRa onto the phone

4) I booted into AmonRa recovery and made an ext2 partition on my SD card

5) I upgraded the ext2 partition to ext3 (not sure if this is important, but i did it)

6) I flashed LeeDroid ROM.

All problems solved. Custom ROM, shiny SD card, and A2SD.

I hope this can reach and help some other people that I see having this problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iandroo888:
for some reason, my friends thunderbolt cant autospace when using swype. i tried reinstalling, restarting, turning autospace off then back on.. holding the space bar doesnt "turn it on" like it does on my nexus one.

he just got the phone yesterday.

any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkiminfinity:
i am having the same problem.....sort of. whenever i am doing certain tasks, swype autospaces like normal. it has worked so far with browsing, email, and the htc notepad widget that i can remember. it hasn't worked correctly whenever i write text messages though. anyone have any tips on the fix?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iandroo888:
haven't tried with anything else except texting actually. LOL
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I'd love to know if there is a fix for this, as it is happening to me too. I was going to shoot swype a message saying so. I assume if they need to fix something we need to tell them it is a problem first. Hence the Beta :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordv8r:
It was stated in another post that you need to re-enable another keyboard and then enable swipe again. It worked for me just fine.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my_handle:
I don't have the option to change my keyboard. No swype or anything. :(:confused: (well I have the option of compact qwerty and phone)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] networkmagician419:
re enabled android keyboard then back to swype- still not spacing.. it is driving me nuts
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdizzr6:
RE

Download Handcent from the Market -- auto spacing on Swype works on there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iandroo888:
well considering its a brand new phone, it should work on a phone that comes with it >_>
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashaman_Kupo:
I'm using swype beta and handcent and its not working either. The beta, for me, behaves differently from stock swype. The one that came pre installed.

Sent from my G2.

Damn i wish it had a dedicated number row. Way to go, designers.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
my thunderbolt didn't come with swype preinstalled o.O

but yeah the autospacing still doesn't work. They sent me an e-mail saying they did all this crazy updates to swype, so i reinstalled with that, and still nothing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engagedtosmile:
I believe he is using the G2 hence the Sent from my G2. Not sure if this comes pre-installed or not. Think he was just stating he gets the same weird behavior from Swype on the G2.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
Must have misunderstood lol. Ya know this being a section about the Thunderbolt and all :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
I just installed the swype beta on my Thunderbolt and even with auto-spacing turned on in the swype settings in the menu system, when using swype to send messages shows a little red circle w/ line through it on the space bar. I don't know if this has something to do w/ some built in code on the TB? Are the rest of you with this issue showing the same thing? I mean still even having to manually space I seem to be able to type so much faster and I've only been using swype for like 2 days now on my DROID Incredible.

UPDATE:

So is this issue limited only to the built in SMS app? As I seem to have auto-spacing in the other apps I've tried... just not the messages app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris Hansen:
The Thunderbolt didn't come with Swype.

And yes, it's only the stock SMS app that has shown this problem. 3rd party SMS programs, email/Gmail, browser, etc. are all working fine in terms of auto-spacing using Swype.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobk:
On the official swype forum a forum mod said that this is because Sense isn't properly designating the messaging apps text input field as auto space/auto caps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatman60:
Seems isolated to the native Android SMS app. All other apps I've tried seem to work perfectly.

this is great news to see a bad carrier go down and go into a good carriers hands

all that is left it sprint to be swallowed up :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] Mafisometal:
when this happens, AT&T will be the biggest provider in the world, If you guys don't know T-Mobile is the biggest mobile provider in the world because it is owned by Telecom hence "T"-Mobile. Good news for AT&T users. Plus everyone will be able to use the Nexus S phones if they'd like with AT&T.
[Atrix 4G General] ronj1986:
ATT will not be the largest carrier in the world. Check China's carriers. They will still outnumber ATT by double
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Are you kidding me? The acquisition will take at least a year and by then the Nexus S will be old news.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Maybe we'll actually get 4g now lol. As a joke ATT will rasie downloads to like 8 mbs then make uploads .05 mbs and act like nothing is throttled and we're all crazy.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
are they buying t-mobile's europe carriers too? I thought it was only for their u.s. branch.
[Atrix 4G General] ujmnz:
They are only buying T-Mobile USA

this is probably a good move for att, but not good for consumers. less competition, and too much contol by att.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycdan1:
Guys,

I really appreciate the wealth of good information here about the Captivate. I do have a quick, specific question I haven't seen answered but perhaps I missed so apologies in advance if I did.

I am on a rooted factory 2.1 phone right now and would like to flash a new ROM (undecided but will probably try a few). I have seen a few mentions that it is advisable (necessary?) to revert to stock before doing this and I am curious if it matters if I revert back to 2.1 or if I can 'revert' to 2.2 and would that be any advantage/disadvantage since it seems to be a temporary thing anyway.

I see both files on mobiletechvideo's site among other places. Would really love to know if there is any difference and if, in fact, I do need to do this step at all.

Thanks.

-Dan
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
The only step you'd need to take is to backup your things, and to do a Master Clear. It shouldn't really matter too much actually, so if you can't be bothered, feel free to flash away!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycdan1:
Thanks, venomio.

To follow up, I ended up flashing to 2.1 but using a version that had the 3-button fix (for getting into recovery mode I believe, which my phone could not do). Everything worked pretty much flawlessly getting back to 2.1 and 3-button fix was successful.

Then I flashed to Cognition 4.2.2 and again, everything went perfectly.

So if anyone stumbles across this in their research, go for it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Boradan:
This comes built into the stock WM6.5 ROM (settings> about phone>Status (or something along those lines))

Cant find any app that shows the lifetime call duration (incoming and outgoing) for the phone.

I dont need an app that shows the call duration for specific calls, just one that shows the duration for the LIFETIME of the phone.

Regards,

Andy
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mwr222:

[Desire General] surfingniceguy:
Ok I have had an unlocked HTC desire phone from telus for a while now. I have been using it on att network with the media net unlimited plan for $10. On Saturday I got the sms and email that said: An eligible data plan is required for laptop, Tablet or MiFi devices.... so I called att thinking I would just have to just change to a smart Phone data plan and tell then its not a tablet. So here is what happened when I called the guy said that the IMEI was just showing as a bunch of 1's and then once I told him the right IMEI he said that is a completly different make and model in ATT system and the only way I could use this phone was with a $60 PDA plan. Has anyone ran into this yet on att. as for now I had to put my sim in a dumb phone because the ATT reap said that if I put the SIM back into the phone the 60 plan will be added automatically.

Here is the kicker I have consistently used less then 200mb a month. So that whole thing about the tethering sms only going to excessive users is wrong

Any buddy using another android phone on att supported by CM?
[Desire General] mayad79:
How did they know you were tethering? You must have connected to their non wap.Cingular server. Check your apn settings, specifically tethering.

Don't change your plan. Point tethering to the wap.Cingular server.

I am using a oxygen rom with telstra desire. Att 15$ unlimited data. No text. Google voice instead.
[Desire General] surfingniceguy:
So I have probable only tethered ones or twice to see how it works and that had to be back in December. I am running CM 7.0 RC2 and have I guess only used the Defult APN's because I have never had to enter the att ones with this phone and its rom.

So I have yet to see what will happen if I put my SIM back into my desire to see what happens. I was going to see if anyone else had this issue with the telus desire on att.

Fingers crossed that it is just be and I can figure something out
[Desire General] sajpogi:
Did you tether lately before you got the message?

I tethered my Desire(Telus model) last Friday (Mar 18) because I was out of town and no WIFI in range. Then I got the same SMS message and the email saying that an eligible data plan is required for laptop, tablet and mifi.

I had a dumbphone and they have the IMEI for that phone. Then I sim swapped.

Do you think they sent the SMS message regardless if you tethered or not, but simply because of sim swapping from dumdphone to Desire and our IMEI to them is the bunch of 0s and 1s? Aside from the fact that they want us to pay the limited data plans?

They never mentioned "tethering" in the SMS and E-mail. Are they now hunting down dumbphone users that are connecting to their 3G services?
[Desire General] surfingniceguy:
I have not tetherd for months most likely dec or nov. So I think it just has to do with our phones.

When I called ATT and gave him IMEI he said that in their system that IMEI was not even a phone and some sort of "pocket Computer" made by a completely different manufacture. I told the guy his stuff was wrong but as always he replied "there is nothing I can do". Then proceeded to tell me that this phone needed a $60 a month 5gb plan.

so have you called about the Email/SMS yet. What is your plan of action for this. Is there anyone with the $15 200mb plan on a non att android phone that has/has not had a problem?
[Desire General] jstdontgiva:
This is certainly not what I want to hear. I too received this message and I use about 2GB per month. I absolutely refuse to switch to a $60/mo plan. The person had told me that I was using a telemetry device with my sim card which I immediately laughed. They did have the correct IMEI # however.
[Desire General] sajpogi:
I have not called yet. I don't know what to say or tell them. Hmm...

If they insist, then I will probably insist on the $15 Data plan 200mb and just monitor my data use. And tell them that our phone is kind of like the HTC Aria that they have but faster and without their bloatware. I only average 200-250mb a month anyway (I think).
[Desire General] sajpogi:
Just an update:

I called 611 and inquired about the SMS/email that I got. The guy asked me what kind of phone I am using. I told him its the HTC Desire. He did not know about the particular model. I told him, I don't buy ATT phones. Then he asked me if it was a smartphone, I told him yes (i guess its time to come clean and admit the truth)

He said that since it is a smartphone, I should get a smartphone data plan. Either the $15 or the $25 plan.

I asked him if the change in the data plan is regardless of how much data I am using. He said that it has nothing to do with how much data you are using. You just have to get the correct plan for your smartphone.

Good thing it is not the $60 plan.

I can easily "downgrade" my data plan to the $15 or $25 on my online account. Just monitor it closely using an app (Call Meter NG).

I have not made a decision as to what I am going to do. They have not disconnected my data plan yet. I switched to "Edge" for the meantime and just use my data plan when necessary.

Let me know what you guys end up doing...
[Desire General] surfingniceguy:
The guy I talked to said that he could not do that option because att thinks its some mythical superphone. and I am worried that If I do put one of the $15 or $25 plans online I will still get a SMS about it being a mifi, labtop, or tablet because the issue seems to be not what plan it is but the type of phone att thinks it is.
[Desire General] mmfitzgibbon:
I received the SMS and email as well, and I have not swapped my SIM into another device or tethered another device. I have a Telus Desire with the $10 data unlimited plan. I am using Oxygen Rom 2.0.1 and the wap.cingular APN. I have the smartphone exclusion on my plan, so I don't know if that will prevent an automatic change to a higher rate plan. So I'll just sit tight and see what others have success with.
[Desire General] sajpogi:
So what would be our plan of action? Do we go to a store and explain to them personally rather than thru a phone. So we can show them that our phone is indeed a phone and not a tablet. It's basically an HTC Aria, only 100% better and faster and without their bloatware. So they should be able to figure it out right? Unless their computers/system will not accept our IMEI.
[Desire General] jstdontgiva:
As of my latest phone call, if you have switched from an iphone to another device but still have the iphone data plan you should switch as they are heavily sweeping iphones more than any other device. I never got my iphone data plan switched to a reg pda plan/smartphone plan. The rep I have been speaking to is actually a higher rep on the business dept.

Also att is much more aware of the situation now. The issue is they cannot get the IMEI registered with the att system. Aparently HTC may have duplicated some IMEI's that they had thought would not be registered with a different network.

They have reactivated my restricted internet for the time being as I was originally told this issue to input the IMEI manually would take 24 hrs. This time has increased to 3-5 business days.
[Desire General] Poopelyse:
Oh man. I just bought a Telus Desire to unlock and use on ATT and it's supposed to come tomorrow. I currently have a dumbphone and blocked data-usage (data opt-out?) to avoid charges if accidentally pressed on my phone. I was looking to just use wifi on my desire. I really hope they aren't going to make me pay $60/month! That's truly ridiculous. :mad: Hopefully having the blocked data thing currently will keep ATT from switching my plan.
[Desire General] sajpogi:
Thats good news then Good thing many of us called. Which Data plan did you switch to? the $15 or $25?
[Desire General] sajpogi:
Sorry for the duplicate post:

Thats good news then Good thing many of us called. Which Data plan did yo switch to? the $15 or $25?
[Desire General] jstdontgiva:
I originally had the unlimited $30 iphone data plan but switched to the unlimited $30 smartphone plan
