i think one of the prongs is broken
[Focus General] grasshoxda:
it looks like one of the 3 prongs is not where its supposed to be, you can see it in the left circle
[Focus General] markgamber:
One of the prongs broke in mine shortly after I bought it. You have to be VERY careful with the sim card. It's a really ****ty design for such an overpriced phone.
[Focus General] grasshoxda:
what did u do about it?
[Focus General] kawgirlval69:
it is broken but easily repairable...
[Focus General] markgamber:
Returned it to AT&T and swapped it for a new one. If this was a $30 phone from Walmart I wouldn't care but it's really bad quality hardware for the $500 I actually paid for it. Bad enough that I'd consider it a manufacturer defect and, apparently, so did AT&T. I'm pretty amazed that more people don't have a problem with this considering I was being careful when it happened to me. Never felt any resistance like the prong was caught or anything, it just didn't work and when I pulled the sim card back out the prong was gone. I never put a sim card in the new phone. Good luck!
[Focus General] grasshoxda:
awesome thanks man! im with rogers so i hope i get a swap also. i dont have the receipt tho
[Focus General] grasshoxda:
and they wouldnt do **** for me. told me to call the rogers1 number
[Focus General] grasshoxda:
called 1888 rogers1 , they are sending me a replacement in 3-5 business days
[Focus General] amtrakcn:
Replaced the SIM for more than 10 times, never had a problem.

▐▄▀▄▀▌2 NEW Themes for Testing / 2 Possible Added: 3/26

WELCOME

as i have stated in my ELse theme thread i have been working on some cool new themes for Throttle Launcher...

they dont all work great and they are very simple so far...

so no major mind blowing features...

i do plan on refining them to get them to work nicely for everyone though..

ONLY WVGA AND WQVGA for both

i am also working on a neat idea i had for straping my TD2 to my wrist with a strap... and using it as a glorified Wristwatch..!!!

so i am custom making a WVGA theme for this purpose... its really only practical for the TD2 as it is so thin ...

other phones way to bulky !!!!

i will upload some pics soon... but in the meantime here are the themes for you guys to get all worked up about and to beg me for the next two months to finish:D:D:D

is called Freedom Fone... for now...

cool features.. slide down on the screen to activate the lockscreen

and the awesome CLOCK!!!

_____________-

thats its for now... enjoy​
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
TWO MORE THEMES IN THE WORKS!!!!!!

ZUNE PHONE

look how similar the TD2 and the ZUNE HD look!!!!

PSP PHONE... maybe if im creative enough!!!

no zip's yet.... be patient....

if you want these just post a message which one you prefer to have done!!!​

Liking the Lacuna theme... patiently awaiting tweaks.

I would like kinetic scrolling in the mesages section (like in friends section) if possible.

Huge potental in this theme. I am looking forward to future releases.
[Windows Mobile Themes] wil_dee:
hey trekfan, very very nice... i actually dont really miss ELSE anymore with these ones in the mix :D

u r such a creative genius!

at this stage: im liking the lacuna theme, but this may change over the course of the next couple of days/weeks :)

ok some initial thoughts/feedback:

freedom fone:

clock:loving it! if you could select program to open that would be good!

date: the digits for the date dont look that great... would be good if i can i open calendar if i click on the date

phone: not implemented yet? at this stage it goes to start menu (im sure you know) :)

messages: would be good to be able to select sms program to use

calendar: the appointment subject and the location of the appointments seem to overlap. if we could select the program to open when we click on an item that would be great

menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??

lockscreen: HOT!

other:

-how about next alarm info?

-how about adding a tab for email? or being able to choose what tabs u show on the home screen? :)

lacuna:

clock: next alarm info beneath clock maybe?

menu: any chance to have an option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??

friends: favorites would be very good, especially if you have a lot of friends :)

text: i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung

mail: im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...

other:

-the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
first to jaeskil...

yes i wil have kinetic for messages... but uits not working right now

wil_dee

you share my visions.....almost all of those things are planned implementations....

glad everyone likes lacuna.... its my favorite too
[Windows Mobile Themes] eeve33:
i really eager to know how the notification will be like in lacuna themes...also can u put the refresh button to message page....thanks...love ur themes...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
for the notifications...

see the little blue rectangle in the top right....???

when a new text or email or event is up.... another blue rectangle will appear a little under the first one with words to the left of it.... saying "1 new message" or "1 new email" or whatever and when yo u click it it will take you to the throttle launcher page for the corresponding notification first ... rather then straight jump to the app of your choice.

kinda like this...

im not sure how to implement the refresh button but i will try...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
lacuna lockscreen....

will look like this.

notification style for the lockscreen is undecided...

it will actually be the first page when the launcher shows up... this is so it can have the nice scroll effect...
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
Liking Lacuna :) keep it simple and you have a winner there ;)

Did you make the changes we discussed to the FF clock images yet?

It looks like as mentioned in someone elses thread custom images are going to be needed for the date as well.

in your config the theme is still defined as switchblade as well - only checked to see if I got a mention ;)

*edit* have now taken a look at both themes

the first thing that needs to be done is an editable and selectable wallpaper option to be inserted into both, now on to specifics

Freedom Fone does appear to be roughly where we left it, I have tried several ways and cannot figure out how to get the image for contacts to appear next to the messages. Otherwise it is a good solid clean theme which just needs the little touches mentioned above.

Lacuna (where did the name come from?) is NICE sooo simple and clean, congrats. The only thing I have found so far is the text page and most likely the mail page can be moved around when pressing on a message, I think this is due to the frame for the messages being larger than the text size illustrated by the fact that characters are being lost off the right hand side.

On the negative, I dont think the bottom right button fits the rest of the theme and I think you should look to develop an alternative take on the taskbar. You have the graphical talent and now the xml experience to pull off something more original.

There are a few things I would do differently with this theme, perhaps I can have your permission to use the base to create my own take on it please
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
dont know what you mean by that???

from the creative depths of my Mind

lol... but seriously... in Music a Lacuna is an extended silence in the piece.... and i keep thinking in my head if i had a commercial for this theme ... it would be a build up of classical symphony while a black background with fading words discribe things we look for in a simple theme.... and finally when the screen shows up and does some stuff a Lacuna is the only way of matching the visual appeal... with stunned silence..lol

i should be in the ad market buisness..

the text page has been such a pain in the a$$ i only set scrolling mode to Paged cause in Kinetic it moves around so easily from left to right... i cant figure out why...

i was gonna hold off releasing it until i fixed it... but after 26 different trys i gave up...

was actually hoping u could have a look at it for me...

couldn't agree more with the bottom button and the task bar... i am def. changing em..

but the whole idea of the sliding using the "pagebreaks" i am keeping..

best feature in TL

im kinda scarred cuase you will pwn me at it:o:o.... but okay...:):)

can i ask a favor though...:rolleyes:

could you release it after i get my 15 min. of fame...:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
Of course I will take a look, I am in "work" tonight and have been itching for a new project.

What I meant by the wallpaper is to set something up in the config to allow users to specify a wallpaper for the theme, not sure how this will work for a page broken theme though but it will be fun to find out.

and thanks for letting me abuse it once i'm done :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
yeah that sounds fine...

cause i was thinking it would be cool to take a widescreen picture ... split it up into like 4 pieces and give each page xml the next piece... so it looks like the wallpaper scrolls....
[Windows Mobile Themes] memeqxda:
good work=)

i m going to try them on my x1 to check if they run smoothly

looking forward to ur next works
[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:

lacuna lover

dear trekfan,

im so in love with lacuna. please continue developing it. its simplicity makes it special so stick to that. the scrolling wallpaper sounds great! i do agree with the posters above me regarding the improvements. also, it will be better if the link to the start menu can be customized to, let's say your favorite apps, or more pages. will love to test for more updates.

thanks!

agreed, as far as hacks go, it could not be easier
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exume:
Step by step for method 1 in the thread.

Download the file

Unzip the file

Plug in your phone (usb debug + none in connection settings)

Run install.bat

Wait

Yeah that's about it. Pretty sure its in the OP but maybe some reiteration would help. After the install, I'd plug my cable in and nothing would happen, if that happens to you, shut the phone down, pull the battery, turn it back on and try again.

Have fun.

I'm trying to create a lock app that would allow the user to lock an application so that in order to launch the locked app, the user would have to enter a password. Does anyone know of any way to do this? Something similar to Smart App Protector, but I'm wanting to take it a different route. Maybe recognize when a package gets launched or intercept such intents. Does anyone know where I could get started?

When I turn my phone on, it will stay on the "Samsung" boot screen indefinitely. I left it on over night to see if it needed to load and it just froze there. I booted into the recovery and wiped everything, and still no success. I tried to connect to my cpu using odin and had no success. I tried to use an update.zip to try and it didn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I tried on both PC and Mac.

Please follow the directions here to get your phone working :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Your phone isn't bricked. Are you using CWM3? If you aren't you most likely tried to flash an EXT4 rom without an EXT4 compatible recovery, boot into recovery and restore and old NAND backup if you have one, otherwise remove the SD card, then install a different rfs compatible ROM and try to flash it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky_moon_357:

What part don't you understand?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watermoore:
The most fail safe way to fix a splash load issue is to ODIN back to stock and then reflash. You said you are having issues. Let me throw out some popular issues.

DON'T USE THE STOCK USB CABLE. ITS SUCKS!!!! it will likely cause fails

Use a USB port in the back of your computer

Install Samsung Galaxy Drivers (if you are on 64bit you obviously need 64 bit drivers)

place your phone into download mode (slide open the phone press 1 + power)

Its a yield symbol with an android, not your recovery ROM.

Open Odin first, then plug the (non stock) usb cable into your phone. You will see a Port number verifying the connection

then re-flash to what ever stock version of android you want via the corresponding .tar file.

afterwards, you can use the one click root to regain root access.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
I would like to mention that it IS possible he could be permanently bricked. Now I don't know exactly what he did to cause this or whether if Odin/cwm will work for him, but if they don't he is bricked.

Believe me, I have had bad luck when it doesn't get that past Samsung screen ...

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
As long as there is any reaction from the phone (in this case booting to the Samsung screen it is recoverable and therefore not bricked.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
Based on pongster (HyperdroidGBX) i made a "Windows Phone 7" like Radio FM that works on gingerbread 2.3.3 with 167 dpi.

Install that as a normal app. Not as system.

*of course that you need to use it on a rom compatible with FM Radio.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Capt.PP:
Too bad, it doesn't work with tytung's stock like gingerbread build otherwise alot of people would be very happy. That's looking nice, man.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
Thats weird.

I have tested only on Hyperdroid 9,10,11 (withou CM7) and its working perfect.

Thanks for the feedback.

(you need to uninstall/delete first yr old FM.apk /system/app)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Capt.PP:
There was not one in tying build to begin with.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
You need a rom that supports radio :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dlsniper:
And only rom that supports radio is a either a CM7 or a Sense ROM. AOSP doesn't support FM radio.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tusuka:
Perfect! Thank you.

But I found a bug. There is a problem about saving the settings. Everytime I close & open the app, I need to define the stations and settings again.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] D4rk50ul:
Hyperdroid gbx supports fm radio. Not cm7 or sense.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
You're wrong.

HyperdroidGBX v11+ is AOSP and supports FM Radio :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
Wich rom are u using? I dont have this issue on HyperdroidGBX.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tusuka:
Felipe I am using HyperDroidGBX v11. Also I made a clean install with wiping cache and data.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
Are u using this FM.apk as a system app?

Try to remove the FM.apk from the Hyperdoid.zip, install the rom and navigate to the new Fm.apk and install that as a normal app.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tusuka:
Yes, I put your FM.apk to /system/app folder :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
Are there other FM applications for Android (without Sense)? (as I can see in most of Android ROMs FM.apk based on different versions of MIUI FM Radio)

This is not a main application for me, but I would like a more functional and user-friendly application
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
Shoud be the permissios to write.

Try to install as a 'normal' app.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] felipemadox:
If they exist i dont know.

Which funcions u need? RDS? For me this app do everything that i need.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tusuka:
You are right Felipe, it works now. I installed as a normal app. Thank you bro !
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
RDS - its a dream :) But I want at least working autoscan option (I tried three or four versions of FM.apk and can't find this), I want to write station names instead digits, and I can't understand why FM application turn on bluetooth when start on my HD2
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ZhuraYuk:
+1 I want all that too. Also in WM radio have batter sensitivity
