[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
I was one of the very first people to use Go Launcher back when it came out and I liked it a lot, but there was something that just didn't feel right about it. So I went back to LP and it hit me. Go Launcher is virtually the same exact thing as LP except with an added twist. It operated about the same to me, no better no worse, which I was amazed at considering it was free.

With that being said, the only thing keeping me from Go launcher is that it doesn't offer anything to the table that LP doesn't have and I don't like the developers couldn't do there own thing with it rather than stealing pretty much the complete layout from LP.
[EVO 4G General] hongha_222:
my evo use go launcher for default

very sweet :p
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
go contacts is also very slick, a bit iphonish but at least you can theme it too!
[EVO 4G General] totalanonymity:
I'm gonna go ahead and say again that GO SMS is just about the best thing.

You can theme the hell out of it, from the outgoing font color to incoming font to date/time font color, different fonts if you have them loaded on your system, images as the background for individuals or in the main message page.

The individual settings are very powerful, too. You can customize the individual as if you were customizing the base program itself, but only for one person, or group, even.

Also, it's nice that there's a built-in password option you can enable for text messages, or apply globally to all applications.

GO Launcher does have some way to go, but it is also fairly new, especially in comparison to the other two major ones (ADW/LP) and is on its way to polishing out all the kinks, optimizing everything, implementing new features and working on innovation in the Android launcher sect.
[Nexus One General] DrZEUS:
Lately I have noticed my N1 has been dropping a lot of calls everyday. When this happens, my 3G icon disappears and comes back about 30 seconds later. It's as if it loses connection to the network and comes back.

I can't for the life of me remember if this started happening before I upgraded to 2.3.3 (OTA) or after. I believe it's been going on before that but I can't be sure. I kept blaming my friends that it was their phones dropping calls but after paying closer attention, it appears to be my phone instead.

I am with Rogers, not rooted (stock) running 2.3.3.

Any ideas what might be causing this?
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
First option would be a factory reset. Then revert to an old build and see if the problem occurs there too. Then upgrade accordingly and see if it's fixed.
[Nexus One General] DrZEUS:
Thanks for the reply. Where can I get a 2.2 stock image?
[Nexus One General] doraemon6688:
I have tried several ROMs and the same problem occurs too. So I think it's TMobile's network problem.
[Nexus One General] doomi77:
Just in case, check if your carrier's APN are configured correctly.
[Nexus One General] DrZEUS:
Ok so i have done a factory reset late last night. In the next day or two while using my phone, I should probably find out if the reset did the trick.

Just to reiterate, I am with Rogers (in Canada) running 2.3.3. My APN settings are correct as well.

Also, I did already notice something odd. When you go to Mobile Network Settings, and then choose Access Point Names, I see my Rogers APNs (one for the network and one for tethering). I then click on the Rogers network APN where I see all my APN settings. So far so good. Then, I don't touch anything, and the weird part is as soon as I hit the back button taking me back to the APNs screen, my 3G icon disappears for a few seconds, comes back this time white in colour (as well as the signal meter), and a few more seconds later both the 3G icon and singal meter turn green again. Is this normal? Is this perhaps a bug in 2.3.3 that might be contributing to my problem?

I was hoping if anyone out there can test and see if their n1 does the same thing. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubs_rule23:
Ok, I've looked and searched and googled for the last few weeks now. I have a mytouch 4g that is on the stock rom w/ ota update. I do have perm root and s-off, per the thread here on xda. However, I can't get it to flash anything at all. Either in the hboot (bootloader) or in clockwork. I tried to flash a the cm7 (had on my hd2 and loved it) in clockwork, says can't open /directory addy with rom, then has this: (bad) installation aborted. I tried to flash a stock image to try and start over, the pd15img, had it named correctly etc. It goes for a sec, then says the .nbh files are missing for 3 different things. Can anyone help or is this phone effed? I can use it just fine, but the stock rom sucks and has stupid drm, which doesn't let me play most of my music. If someone can help and has paypal I WILL make a donation to you, I'm not rich, but am a busy father of 2 divorced with a full time job. PLEASE HELP!!!!

What cwm are you running?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubs_rule23:
3.0.0.5, I went to older versions of cwm also and still no dice at all. I am at a loss. I am by no means an expert, but have jailbroken iphones forever and did all the work on my hd2, so I'm not a complete noob but I still consider myself to be compared to others.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That's why you can't flash the stock image, which is Froyo based. 3.0.0.5 can only flash Gingerbread ROMs. However, that doesn't explain why CM7 won't boot for you, since 3.0.0.5 should successfully flash that. My suggestion would be to flash CWM 3.0.0.6 (can handle all ROMs) and then try re-flashing CM7 or the stock ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubs_rule23:

There's the download for it. I meant to put it in my previous post.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubs_rule23:
I was pretty sure I tried this a while ago, and I was right, still nothing. It says the same thing, (bad) installation aborted, before all of that it says can't open /filedirectory. Seriously peeved at this phone at this point. It will not flash anything at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
It could also be a corrupt SD card, or even though you have S-OFF, your phone isn't actually fully rooted (seems unlikely though since CWM is successfully installed). I'm sure someone else will chime in here eventually.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubs_rule23:
i have a couple spares, i'll check it out real quick. usually my comp will tell me if there is an issue with the sd card, so I'll try another quick like. I have and am using an sdhc patriot that is ok per tmobile, and i have an 8 and 16gb laying around also

I have not found a fix and still can't put a custom rom on my phone that doesn't have drm. Respectfully, dude just trying to get his phone working the way it should.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
Could also be a bad download. Id delete the old redownload whatever rom your wanting. Make sure you do a full wipe of everything and wouldn't hurt to do out a second time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubs_rule23:
Was just thinking about that. Is there any difference in doing it right on the phone compared to a pc?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
Not that I have noticed. I get the same amount of bad downloads on pc our my phone. Buy when it does happen I just download again and wipe everything again. There is a list here somewhere of everything to wipe, can't remember off the top of my head.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
How many bad downloads have you gotten? I always download ROM files with my PC, and then transfer them to the SD via the USB cable. I always verify the MD5 when I can, but most devs don't provide that these days.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
I gotten about 11 since I have had this phone. Thinking its something to do with my router. Noticed I drop connection for a second randomly. which can cause file to be corrupt. To lazy to get a new router lol

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Good call! I'm actually surprised anyone recognized that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tmt64:
I got the inspire a couple of weeks ago. Recently I noticed that I'm dropping a large amount of calls. I don't know if it's a defect with the phone or a bad flash on my part. At first I flashed the 06.04.14 radio with AR 3.3. After noticing a lot of dropped calls, I flashed to CM7 and back to stock radio. However I am still dropping a lot of calls.

I doubt it's a network problem since my old e71x almost never dropped calls.

Should I S-on and go in for an exchange? Would they charge a restocking fee for that? (I am still within the 30 day return period)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
I would S-ON and go in for an exchange. Sounds like it may have some hardware issues. As far as restock fees, I pulled this section from AT&T's site under their Returns policy:

Restocking fees:

A $35 restocking fee applies to all devices purchased at an AT&T-owned retail store, except where prohibited.

A $35 restocking fee applies to all netbook/notebook purchases, except where prohibited.

A 10% restocking fee applies to all tablet purchases, except where prohibited.

A 10% restocking fee applies to all iPhone and iPad purchases, except where prohibited. The 10% restocking fee does not apply if the device is returned unopened.
[HTC Inspire 4G] footbal9584:
They shouldn't, the girl at ATT messed up my battery door and I didn't notice until the next day. So I called them and they told me to come back up any they would exchange it and they didn't charge me anything. I think the restocking fees are for when you don't like what you got and just want to return it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] duvalla:
I know this post is old, but I searched on dropped calls. I am also having a ton of dropped calls. I wanted to know if you were able to get new hardware and if that helped? I traded phones with someone, so I didn't get it from at&t. Is anyone else having issues with dropped calls. I'm using gingerbeast and everything else has been smooth, and i can't keep having these dropped calls. I also noticed that my radio and ril do not match.

Here are my numbers.

radio: 12.39a.60.19P_26.06.06.30_M

Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0099HM

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Is your phone in a case? If so, try making a few calls without the case covering the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] duvalla:
Yes, I do have a case on it. I will try that and see. Could the case really be causing the problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
Anything is possible. Look at all of the antenna issues they've had with iPhones.

Hmm.. All of your dropped calls weren't to people using iPhones were they? :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt7s:
I also get tons of dropped calls, but I don't have a case. Any solutions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Att sucks enough said.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
I am having a similar issue on both my inspires. One is bone stock the other running gingerbeast.

My bone stock one will drop the call mid sentence and then immediately call back the person I was talking to. It also drops calls like crazy

my rooted one will act as if I mute myself, even though the mute option is not checked. It has done this with every radio/ril/rom. I also get allot of dropped calls.So farking annoying.

I know its not the network as I have an aria,dumbphone and 3g iphone I use quite often and NEVER get a dropped call on them.

I honestly think it has something to do with the metal body, just like the problem with the iphone4. Your body can more easily disrupt the signal when you have a better conducting surface, like say metal. I would assume thats one reason they made the antenna out of cheap, God awful plastic. Same with the bluetooth/wifi radio ant.

Now I see they have the bootloader cracked for the atrix and I am really bummmed. poop on my I say, poop.
[HTC Inspire 4G] duvalla:
UPDATE.

I'm probably doing too many things at once so if it's fixed I won't know what it was.

I've taken the case off.

I updated to MIUI 1.6.17 v2.

I flashed the following radio and ril.

Released for Desire HD - 04-28-2011

Radio OS Base: Gingerbread

Radio: 12.54.60.25x_26.09.04.11_M2

AOSP Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0018G

I got these from the this thread. inspire only radio thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106324

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use the AOSP RIL or the one that didn't say AOSP.

So far i've made 2 phone calls and both of them said that the quality was much better. It must have really sucked before.

I have had problems with the headphone jack on my Captivate. The sound is incredibly quiet on the right side. I have tried multiple headphones and even reset my phone, all with no luck. It all happened a little after updating to 2.2. Today, i noticed something odd: the right side will work when using externally powered headphones (in my case, an Xbox 360 gaming headset, Turtle Beach X11). Can someone help me figure out whats wrong? it has never been dropped or gotten wet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroman27:
It might be the headphones and not the jack. Do you have another pair that you can test with?

Did you use compressed air to clean out the Jack? Pocket lint/ dust can get in there... If you can see a lint ball then take a paper clip and bend the tip with needle nose pliers, use the hook you made by bending the tip to get the lintball out

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuggy22252:
I'm having issues connecting the Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard to my gTab, and I've been trying to use Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect, but that can't seem to install Bluez Utils, because I can't find them anywhere on the device. It looks like the device is mounted R/O and I have no idea how to mount it otherwise.

But back to my point, I've seen tutorials for doing this manually, and all involve typing commands at a command line, some using adb. Is there a comprehensive tutorial for typing commands in these examples that people give?

Also, for what it's worth, I have the dev kit installed, and I try doing adb, but it tells me device not found, so apparently I'm not connecting it correctly and I can't find any instructions on how to do such a thing.

I'm not able to find anything on this search-wise (well, there is one post in XPERIA X8 General, but that involved removing a battery, which you can't do on the gTab).

Any help would be appreciated!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
There are several ways to go. If you use Windows you need drivers and if you use Linux you'll need to make an entry in your udev rules so the tablet is recognized as a device. If you search the overall gtab forums for "adb windows" or "adb linux" you should be ok there.

So ADB is one way to get a shell. You can also download something from the market like Android Terminal or Better Terminal. Of course, those are easier to use if you have an external keyboard ;-) You can get Full Keyboard or other keyboards that have all the exotic keys.

The 3rd way to do it is to run sshdroid or another ssh server and then use ssh or putty to connect to your device remotely.

Any one of these methods will give you a shell prompt either on the screen or back at your PC.

Hey gang,

Right now I have an Evo with stock sense...its been rooted...I see roms with the cool tv effect when you put it to sleep. I really like it! Is there a rom with everything working that has those cool animations like that?

I want my visual voicemail to work...and camera ect...I want all things working if possible. So again I am looking for a straight foward rom that will have those cool animations!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Are you talking about the screen on/off animation?

If so you're looking at Gingerbread.

Try an AOSP ROM.

I suggest CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
That's the gingerbread animation. If you want to try one, I would recommend any variant of CM7, but probably nightly 35 or RC4. You could also try Destroyer.

Full wipe, place on sd card and flash along with GApps. I think someone explained it once, lemme look around.

You don't have to flash a CM or AOSP ROM in order to get the animation you mentioned. It is available as a seperate zip file mod.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweisholtz:
if you want the screen off animation, you have to stick to AOSP. The animation is part of 2.3, and all the sense roms in the forum are currently running 2.2.

My suggestion is to stick with AOSP for a week just to see if you like it. It's different, but much faster and less bulky. Definitely give it a chance, as Cyanogen's work has the best reputation for a good reason...

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
I switched back to Bionix 1.3.1 just because it does seem like the best ROM for the vibrant. I say best ported 2.2.1 rom for Vibrant is Simply Honey ;p.

I ported over, mostly, the Touch of Androdena theme that was for Simply Honey.

The only thing that I don't know how to change (xml files and such) is the font color in the pull down. Instead of white as it is on Simply Honey, it's black. You can still see the text but I'd like it to be white but eh don't know which xml changes that..

Oh and also the volume notifications (when you turn volume up or down) have a green bar... no idea how to change that.

Screenshots are pretty identical to the theme for Simply Honey aside from the aforementioned bugs above ;p.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Duce HD2:
The volume bar color should be progress_horizontal.xml under framework/res/drawable. Haven't tried it yet, but maybe replacing it with one that you know is blue might take care of it.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
oh so its illegal for pandora to collect demographics, but google, yahoo, bing, facebook, myspace, etc.. can have a field day with it?

Anyone that has dabbled into any type of advertising knows that demographics is the key. Pandora doesn't REVEAL the demographics, but rather allow the advertisers to pick their target audience (male, age of XX, on network XXXX, with phone XXXX).

Same way as facebook targets you with their ads. Facebook not only allows advertisers to target you based on your personal information (age, gender, education, location), but they also allow targeting through what you "Like", and who your friends are.

Pandora is just getting ****ed in the ass for this, without even doing anything wrong.
