[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
Read these forums for a while and you'll notice countless threads where people completely screwed up their phones trying to root them or flash a splash screen or whatever. What do they do? They make the manufacturer pay for their mistakes. Even if they happen to have a margin of 100% on these phones, which I doubt, every user error warranty claim that happens completely erodes that profit. I'm not saying that this isn't a little unfair, android is indeed designed atm to be open to the end user, but maybe we should be placing a little bit on the shoulders of those people who come here and screw up their phones due to negligence then turn around and get an exchange at the cost of the community...

Honestly I wish they would deny those claims. Obviously the phone is linked to an account. Mark the account as a false warranty claim and close it until the phone is paid for.
[myTouch 4G General] Nicgraner:
Well I think this may be a little off, as an article just popped up (http://androidandme.com/2011/04/unc...nch-new-market-music-camera-and-gallery-apps/) stating that google was opensourcing all launchers and stock apps in the near future and maybe even updates all out of the market so everyone can have the same launcher and apps on any phone with the android market loaded on it

Evening all from the Acela Express headed to NYC.

I really hate the default clock on the main Xoom screen. Is there any way to change this to a digital clock without purchasing more software?

Thanks,

Steve
[Xoom General] i_am_the_one:
Fancy widget is pretty good. I can't post links yet but you can find it in the market
[Xoom General] burden010:
There are a LOT of clock widgets on the Market. Just find one you like.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
OK question. Basically whenever I install an AOSP Rom on my evo 4g I get a strong signal with wimax for about thirty minutes give or take a few and then it just goes. Where the wimax bar was all green and providing a FAST signal it cuts out reconnects remains all white and the Internet crawls. This occurs with all builds of cm7, savagemod, and evervolv. I love these roms and would like to run them but I'm a reporter for a popular technology site and i need wimax for tethering in the field. I have tried toggling the connection in various ways, Filterproxy, rebooting and reinstalling the roms. What should I do? Is this a known issues? Please assist. My radios and prl are up to date btw.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Also I forgot to note that sense based roms give me awesome wimax.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
This is a known issue across the board with aosp roms on the evo. Cyanogen and team have been working on it and they're aware of the 4G issues. 4G isn't at 100% just yet man, I'd say roll with a sense rom until 4G is ready to rock. This goes for all the roms you listed above.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What did you end up doing to get your 4g working? Glad u got it going though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Hey k2 this is my second evo the other one is still busted with no rsa keys. Because of the hardware version I cannot use extended fastboot commands so I'm still stuck on that one. This is my working evo. Ty for the note at the top im using cm7 rc 4 right now and that seems to be working a little better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I think nightly 35 is the first one that has the fixed wimax reconnect bug. I would flash that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Thanks ill try nightly 35 and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just remember to flash the latest gapps with it if you're coming from your sense rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dees_Troy:
Teamwin finally fixed the reconnect bug in CM7 starting with nightly 35 (currently the only build with the reconnect bug fixed). Obviously it's a recent development. Unfortunately, even in a strong signal area, WiMAX still disconnects occasionally, but at least now it will reconnect automatically, which is a huge benefit.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeeper26:
ok so i know that i can get my phone replaced for free through the blacktie protection program from best buy but does the fact that i have streakdroid on it affect that? i am not sure if i need to go back to the stock rom or if they will even care. if anyone knows please let me know.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you can revert it to stock, I would do so. That way all your bases are covered.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eowyn:
Yes, revert back to stock, Best Buy would not accept that because it is rooted.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oklahemi:
I cracked my rooted dell streak and sent it to them as is. I thought f them the software has nothing to do with a cracked screen..... And now the sad part, I was without my phone for 43 days, they "lost it" at the service center and my local store wasnt too helpful on getting me a new one. It took 4 calls to the corporate office multiple stops in the store and me almost dragging a geeksquad guy out of the store before they junked my phone so I could get a replacement. Then when I finally the paperwork they dont carry the streak anymore so I had to get back on the phone with corporate with the reginal manger standing next to me before they would get me a streak. It was a nightmare and I cancelled the blacktie once I had my phone in my possesion. Dell doesnt make replacment parts for the streak they cant get a new lcd screen. I hope your experience is better than mine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
I moved from my vibrant that was on 2.1 where I had created a menu of music apps that came up when I plugged in headphones. I had an exit task that would kill music apps when I unplugged the headphones. It worked great.

Now on the NS my exit tasks don't work? I was reading that exit tasks don't work on 2.2 or higher. Anyway I was trying to figure if I could do anything to achieve the same effect?

Edit: Tasker total automation for Android http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

Edit 2: I understand that tasks cannot be killed by other apps in 2.3. What I am asking is if anyone knows how I can not hear any music when my headphones are unplugged. I could ask the maker of every music app I use to add this feature (unrealistic). I could set have tasker set the volume to zero (but then an app streaming music would still be chewing through my battery). Or I could just pull my phone out of my pocket and do it myself (why would I want to do that?).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
task killer? if this it is, its bad http://androidspin.com/2010/05/25/why-you-dont-need-a-task-killer-app-with-android/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
I understand what task killers are and do and that is NOT what I want.

What I want is to stop music from playing when I unplug my headphones.

Pandora has started doing this automatically but other apps do not. When they are running and I unplug headphones the sound then comes out of the speaker for all to hear. I have to manually turn them off by pressing pause or something. I don't want that, I want them closed.

Tasker used to allow exit tasks that would kill an app (not a task killer per say) depending on the context you set. In this case I have a context of Headset plugged that brings up a menu of apps I may want (Pandora, various other music players, Square, etc) I select what I want and it runs. What I want to have happen when the headset is unplugged is have any music player I may have turned on stop playing music but I can't do it the way I used to (exit task). I am looking for a new solution. I thought about just setting volume to zero but I don't think that is ideal.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I don't listen to music from my phone but I just tried out a song with headphones plugged in. I unplug it while its playing and it stops.

I'm using winamp + CM7 + netarchy kernel (voodoo sound)

probably a winamp or CM7 thing?

Edit: also stops on stock music app. probably CM7
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
Hmm. I'm on stock 2.3.3 and specifically tunein doesn't stop. I guess I could run cm7 but I still would like to find out if anyone has a tasker solution.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Contact the developer of the app and ask for Tasker support. Ask if it is possible to send an intent to the app to close it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
It's not an application issue it's a tasker issue. And it's something that worked in 2.1 or lower and cannot be made to work on 2.2 or higher (at least that's what I read). I'm looking for a new way of doing things....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
this no longer works on android 2.2 and 2.3, so there is nothing anyone can do about it. certain apps can just not be killed anymore, in any way. only choice is to to live with it unfortunately.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
It's an OS issue. Tasks can no longer be killed by other tasks.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
Is anyone else running jdlfg's Kernels from RM? I've been playing with it today, and it's not too bad. Good battery life so far and pretty smooth, unsure how optimized it is since it only has 3 governors.
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
My phone rebooted during quadrant on the 1.8 one. Havnt tried the others
[Thunderbolt General] Thrillhouse847:
I run the 1.8 and it's very stable and battery life is very decent but I run at 950-1250mhz. As for quadrant crashing, I don't use it so not sure. I just go on observations and these Kernels run very stable and are responsive for me.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
Probably the voltages. Not all phones are created equal and some can handle the lower voltages and overclocks better than others. Didn't know he had kernels out for the Bolt but I used his kernels when I had the OG Droid and was never disappointed.
[Thunderbolt General] Ridgedog:
i'm running the 1800 kernel and am really satisfied with the stability, but i can't run protekk's low voltage stuff so i suppose i don't have much choice.

Every once in a while when running "on demand" it will seize up and restart, have to keep it in performance mode for stability, it is locked into jumping between 300 and 1800, you can't pick anywhere in-between
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you going to suffer severe battery loss running it at performance consistently due to performance mode always having the clock speed at full bore? Also performance on an 1800 kernel just sounds like bad news... I would recommend knocking it down to a lower kernel however that's just my personal opinion.

Pandora is in some hot water right now. They're being sued, and word got out yesterday that they've been selling off our private information to 3rd parties. So yeah, maybe that's why we're all having trouble? Maybe they were told to pull the plug?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] rawdigga:
Yeah i get that force closed message alot but it usually only happens when i'm multitasking. If i just use the pandora app and nothing else it doesn't crash most of the time.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] MYxdaUSERNAME:
Never had a single problem or force close with Pandora...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drod2169:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muuhmann:
Hi everyone,

i have one short question.

I'm currently living in the US for the next few months and my HTC Desire keeps on rebooting and HTC won't repair it in the US, because it's an german vodafone branded version.

Anyways, i need a new phone.

If I buy the SGSII here in the US, will I be able to use it in Germany aswell?

Because currently I cannot use 3G with my Desire (carrier is t-mobile), only EDGE. It would be a real bummer if I couldn't use the SGSII to it's full extend (meaning 3G etc.) in Germany.

Thanks for your answers!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmdude:
I moved from Sense 2.2 to Cyanogenmod 2.3.

Everything works great so far.

But I have a question regarding text messages. I backed up and restored the data with Titanium backup (which is basically telephony.db and mmssms.db). I can see that the file transferred correctly. But the text messages don't show up in the standard text app.

Any idea what could be the problem. I searched a lot, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for any hints or links!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
When you restored, did you restore system settings, and did you flash the latest gapps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmdude:
Thanks for the quick response.

Here is what I did exactly:

- wipe ...

- flash CMr4

- flash gapps 0307

- flash savagedzen kernel cfs sbs 1.01

- rebooted and tested everything

- configured pin, bluetooth, wifi manually

- rebooted again

- install titanium backup

- restored sms/mms dialer storage data

That is all I did.

So I did not restore any system settings.

I looked at the titanium list, but couldn't an entry named "system settings" or so.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmdude:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
curious, I'm trying to pull my mmssms.db from a previous titanium backup (old Samsung Epic), and trying to restore to my new Evo.

Is the path still: ?

data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

in a froyo rom ?

(I usually copy the other 2 dbs in there as well).

EDIT: verified it is.. just the db structure is different. (f$%#).
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
I'd like to make a comparison in video playback before I preorder mine mine tomorrow.

I have one particular video in mind

Zenith Part 1 Sample mkv. It can be found via thepiratebay (official destributer, its free and legal, the video I mean, as well as the full version of it.) But you can find it elsewhere (their own website) if you have a problem with TPB.

The galaxy tab struggles to play the sample in VPlayer and refuses in the stock player to even try. I get screen glitching and slowness if it doesn't just crash.

Would someone be willing to download it (33MB) sample and comment?

Thanks.

[Xoom General] patass:
playback is very slow. audio plays at a normal speed. used mobo for the video app.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Thanks for the test. I just tried mono on my grab plays slow but no screen glitching like my other player. I had to use soft decoding though. Unsupported by system player.

It seems video playback is no better than the gtab.

Hopefully its atleast similar I'm happy with that much.

[Xoom General] myv6mustang:

[Xoom General] alias_neo:
I tried it, but because I'm using the Galaxy Tab as a comparison here, it's build in codecs don't support the sample video format and so can't play it.
[Xoom General] reuthermonkey:
You may want to wait for Samsung's upcoming GalaxyS tablets that are coming in June. Their GalaxyS phones are the only ones I know of with out-of-the-box great MP4, MKV, Xvid, and WMV support. My Xoom doesn't play a vast majority of videos that my GalaxyS Vibrant does. Presumably the GalaxyS tablets will have similar abilities.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Thanks for the info. So do we have solid dates and/or specs for hte GalaxyS tablets? I don't have the kind of patience to wait two more months unless i can clearly see £600 on the XOOM next week is wasted.

I really don't want another TouchWiz device, so I'm out as far as the Samsung's go. Any up-coming google devices? I want pure honeycomb, looks like the scales are tipping back in favour of the XOOM.
[Xoom General] reuthermonkey:
From the videos at CTIA, it's even lighter than TouchWiz3, but I can understand wanting a pure flavor of Honeycomb. That said, any pure Honeycomb ("with Google") very, very likely will not have direct, out of the box support for MKV (See: Nexus S vs Galaxy S).

That said, I know Acer and LG are coming out with some Honeycomb tablets, as well as Sony and HTC. Pretty much all "by Summer". The only one with a set date is the Sammy.

At this point, I think the Xoom is going to be the only customization-free tablet of the bunch. Until it gets a firmware update to fix the slow rendering and video playback though, it's *very* hard for me to recommend it though. I may well be returning my own in the coming days.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
If it were the Nexus One of Tablets, I'd have no problem, at least we could count on the updates from Google and know it won't get dropped. But with Moto in the mix, I don't trust them to get us any updates let alone keep them going for a decent period.

I feeling now that I may end up getting one anyway and replacing it after the summer. Mainly because I'm impatient, and so far all my impatience costs me is money.
