[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] canaQ:
Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to disable the new 2 finger rotation on Google Maps. When I'm trying to zoom I often accidentally rotate the screen, and it's a bit annoying. Is there any way to disable this feature?

Cheers

Hi There,

Sorry if it's been answered but thread searches yielded only similar but not

definitive answers.

I'm running American Cyanogen 7 ROM April 10 version on my HD2.

Everything works perfectly except for the fact that I need to switch between MMS APN and Internet APN when I want to do either task.

I seldom send MMS' but would like to know whether I'm doing something wrong or is it just something we have to live with?

eg. I've got my data connection on, running the internet. If I want to send an MMS at that time, I then need to enter settings and change my APN to Optus MMS.

note: Once again, nothing wrong with my APN settings individually but wondering if I've missed a step where they both work in tandom?

Thanks in advance,

zee
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Look at "apn type"

In the data one, it should be "default,supl " or perhaps "*" or maybe just "default"

It should not say mms in there.

Now in the mms one,(and the prob is likely to be here since you shouldn't be able to select an mms apn manually) it should ONLY say "mms"

When you change it to just say mms, the radio button showing it is selected should vanish.

now the phone will know to use one for data and one for mms automatically.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DimakZ:
I have milestone with android 2.1 (original from motorola). I wanted to install MIUI. So I got Rom Manager and it installed CWM on my device, when I tried to reboot to recovery, original recovery appeared (with picture phone triangle), I want to backup my data, but the phone reboots to original recovery and backyp didn't appeared, and Rom Manager don't see it. I tried it with 2 methods of root: Universal Androot and SuperOneClick, they doesn't work. Idk what to else, but I won't try to Install Rom, I don't want to get UNSEEN CONSEQUENCES (gman, lol).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tomcheng76:
clockworkmod recovery doesnt work in milestone, correct me if it is wrong

you need to install OR 1.46 or AOR 3.3

You will need

Usb cable

VR sbf for your bootloader version, mine is 90.78

Rsdlite 5.0

OR zip extracted to root of sd card

Please search the guide here
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DimakZ:
Rom Manager created update.zip file, maybe I will apply it with original recovery? (i mean "apply: update.zip"), or I'm going to Brick my device?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] birdienofly:
that'll definately NOT work!

most likely you will brick your device with this.

as suggested by tomcheng install OpenRecovery or Androidiani OR.

EDIT: as you own a milestone, forget about RomManager because it isn't compatible with your device.

The only thing that is keeping me from selling this blackstone is the potential of an android rom and my parents might not let me sell it. I’m 16 and got it 2nd hand but it’s in a fairly good condition.

I’ve searched around and it looks like I can get around £90 for the phone, do any of you want to buy it or know anyone who does? Also I’ve flashed it to an energy rom so if I was to sell it would I have to change it back to original windows rom!

Wish htc built blackstone with android not windows!

This might not help you any, but last night I discovered that NewEgg.com is now offering credit if you trade in electronics. They listed my HD as $144 USD. Considering how much I shop from their site I'm highly tempted!

Two days ago I´ve installed the "Battery Monitor Widget".

It reports me a battery capacity of 1200mAh.

The battery label (Orig. Motorola) tells me, that the battery should have 1500mAh.

Is this normal or a bad battery shipped with the defy?

[Defy General] Ph1b:
It's normal. Just a bug in the battery-widget.

You need to go in to the monitoring preferences and put the correct capacity in.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedi2155:
My USB transfer rate from I plug in my Epic as a Mass Storage device has always been really really slow. Its usually somewhere between 100 KB/sec to 3 MB/sec most of the time under 1 MB. Yet if I pull out the SD card and plug it into a card reader I get 10-16 MB/second easily.

I wonder if anyone else gets this issue and has a solution as it has been a huge nuisance to me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Its slow for me too. I would guess its the nice USB cord.

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedi2155:
It was not the USB cord as I've checked that regularly. I use to think it was the USB hub on my LCD but that wasn't the case either.

I discovered issue for me was the windows chkdsk. It would occasionally report that my SD card was damaged and needed to be scan which I did however after doing so, my performance went from 3-5 MB/sec on the USB mounting to a crawl 100-300 KB, not to mention extremely slow browsing performance.

I assumed that the formatting chkdsk did something to the FAT tables/partition information in addition to a lack of wear leveling on the standard FAT.

Formatting it through the Windows utility, and through the Phone OS doesn't help. I found this nifty utility:

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

Which allows me to do a Full Erase/Overwrite of the SDCard which promptly restored the performance of the card back to 3-5 MB.

Now I don't suggest that fix for everyone with SD card issues as doing a full format reduces the number of P/E cycles available (prematurely wearing out your card), but it was the only way for me to restore performance.

The real multi-touch as that in X10,not the false one that publish some times ago.:mad:
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
No false multitouch was reliased, only fake dualtouch pinch zoom called x8gesture (realy good).

Devs have to crack bootloader on x8 first, then built a proper kernel, after they enable second x8 screen sensor.

Or find a way to turn on second sensor and make dualtouch work as a module.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugmenotacc:
I've looked and I've tried all the (few) solutions to getting wifi to work on streakdroid 1.9 some have, some haven't

I went from stock 2.2 to Streakdroid 1.5.1, then updated to 1.9.0, then updated to the reccomended baseband (318) and then tried the latest dell baseband (345) but no joy. all done in that order.

my wifi finds networks, but can't connect, and there's no icon in the notification bar.

the connection details are correct, I believe. but I have no idea what level these reports of "no wifi" are at...

many people seem to have wifi work in this off the bat, so I have no idea what's going on...

does anybody have any idea how I can get wifi?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exca:
Hello,

Got another problem here. I've had CyanogenMod 7 installed and that worked perfectly.

My device is S-OFF and has the CM7 HBOOT.

I thought to give MIUI a shot, so i installed the latest version 1.4.8 A2SD version.

That one installed fine but it couldn't find my SD card for pictures, music... it said no SD was installed.

I went back in recovery, and yes.... i can't mount my SD card anymore. No ADB access, partitioning is no option as it is not there.

I pushed a new recovery (Amon RA recovery 2) but that doesn't help.

What went wrong ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exca:
Fixed!

I really don't understand how these things can happen just by flashing a new rom, i feel that there are more problems than months ago. Anyway, i used this to fix:

'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0'

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhid:
Hi there,

I am glad you found a solution. What i found was when trying to copy an .apk file from my laptop to my desire 8gb card( FAT, 1GB Ext 4, 300MB Ext 4, Swap ) i could never access the file. In fact, SDcard Mounted readonly pops up if i go to the directory where the file is using Astro explorer. My Rom is RCmixHD 3.5 rotating. Even if i create a few folders and then put the file in, i can go as far as where the file is. Maybe the file is corrupt?

Anyway, where is the rom you flashed and is it a patch of some sort? Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3f1f37:
I have spent many a night trying to figure out exactly what is the cause that a SD mounts as read only while attempting to perform certain functions, but works fine if you use the same SD card in another device. The only conclusion I have is, I assume that the Desire doesn't like cheap cards. Things like class, capacity and brand are key regarding SD cards. So many check in those areas ...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exca:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Padlite:
Hi everyone!

So, I've been reading a lot about this issue. I love my Android Polaris, but it still lacked wired headset support. There are a lot of posts instructing how to make it work, but there was a couple missing steps. Anyway, here it is!

Turn your phone off, plug your headset on, and then power it on again.

BEFORE the "Hold D-Pad center..." message, you have to connect and disconnect your headset a couple times. If everything went fine, then after that message you'll see -anytime you plug them on- something like this:

Headset status change 1

and

Headset status change 0

when unplugged.

Everything went fine? Then disconnect the headset again and keep following this steps. It didn't? Try again from step 1.

Wait until your phone turns on completely.

DON'T start playing music, yet! Make sure your phone is not playing any sound (Notifications, alarms, music, etc.). Then power off the screen.

Plug your headset on, and now turn screen on again.

That's it! Now every sound is routed to your headset. Music, alarms, ringtones and everything.

You may note that when you unplug them, the sounds kinda "disappears", but you can fix that by stopping every sound, and turning off and on your screen.

If music is playing, and you disconnect your headset, without turning screen on again, then music will still be routed to your headset. So If you plug them on another time, the sound automatically start playing on your headphones. Note that the music player won't stop if you do this (careful!, battery draining)

Now (at least for this session) you can use your wired headset perfectly. Any time you want to use them again, just follow steps 5 and 6 :)

If somehow your phone turns off (manually or not), headset may not work. In that case, you should follow the entire guide again.

Enjoy your music again!

Cheers.

EDIT: This worked excellent for me, but using kernel 2.6.25.

i think that our mini can be perfect with:

a skin for taskfacade

colored tabs for opera

i dont know hom much memory it can take and how to do

thanks a lot
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] oregon69:
Perfect hd mini

I hope not to have misunderstood: you want to change with various skin without taking a lot of memory? if so, the problem is not only the skin but of all the installed programs and that, in addition to the various optimizations and obvious to the rom that is in use. give you a starting point I hope to be useful: NO CHT 2.60 rom NSOURM CLEAN, free memory with all the icons, skins, and installed programs are 121mb 41% MEMORY(see picture on why there is obvious difference WHIP2SNAP for photos) and then you attach photos :

[HD Mini Themes and Apps] oregon69:
In fact, my research is just to have a stable ROM and better! occupy a lot of memory is inevitable decrease the speed of the terminal. I speak of ROM memory. So I think that an original ROM can not 'reach such compromises. A cooked ROM (I always thank NSOURM) but well cooked and performance allows you to skin a original ROM does not allow you. The photos I have attached to allow to understand the potential 'of HD MINI and programs that can run without memory problems ........ TOMTOM 7, IGOPRIMO 1.1. ETC ..... in addition to the skin to change to make it more beautiful. Anyway: freedom to choose!!!:) Good research!

Hi guys,

I'm using Swype on my 2X and absolutley love it, but I keep having a problem with it.

When I tap in the text box to type, I will swype the word but it won't work.... I can tap the letters individually and they will type out but the swyping action won't work at all... I just get a blue outline around the keyboard very briefly but no words / letters appear.

Anyone else having this problem?

Going to "language and keyboard" and deactivating Swype and then reactivating seems to fix the problem.. but very annoying if you have to keep on doing it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have to re-licence it then you're doing something wrong.

You just have to go to the settings, activate the lg keyboard and then back to the swype.

If you had read the posting gk141054 linked to, you would know that by switching the swype keyboard off/on you are in fact making the app re-license/re-authenticate itself.

[Galaxy S II General] Quist:
A major plus with the SGSII is the Gorilla Glass on the display, but the million dollar question is what it has on the camera lens?

I love not having to worry about the screen on my Nokia N8 (also Gorilla glass), but am always wary about the camera lens which is "scratch resistent mineral glass" although it's generally recessed in its housing enough not to be a real issue.

Looking at the SGSII videos and pictures, however, it looks as though it will rest solidly - and directly - on the lens cover of the camera in the back (and of couse that's not part of an easily replacable component like the battery hatch).

So - are we going to be able to put our phones down face up without worry?
[Galaxy S II General] tjtj4444:
You shouldn't worry, scratches on lenses isn't really a problem. The reason is a because of how optics in lenses/cameras work. The surface on the lense is so far from focus that a scratch on the lens isn't projected on the lens as a scratch. Of course, a big damage will cause visible effects though.

I'd really like to add some links with info, but I'm not allowed, really a pity that new users cannot prove their information.

But try to google:

tech arp lens elements for scratches
