I have spent the last several hours downloading wallpapers from 4walled.org for my phone. The wallpapers look so nice on the computer, and I really wanted to start theming my phone with them.

So I've loaded up the 300+ wallpapers to my SD-card, and as I start browsing through them in the gallery, I have realized one immutable fact: they all look horrible. The gradients aren't really gradient, they're splotchy.

It was my understanding that this phone's LCD was capable of 24bit color? Perhaps it is not and this is where my woes are from. I have also noticed that .PNG backgrounds do seem to look better than the .jpg counterparts.

Any comments or wisdom into selecting backgrounds would be greatly appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] smstutler:
I just looked at some of those images and they dont look that high quality to me. Maybe your monitor is older and made them look better than they are. Check here for some more. Maybe you will find some you like. http://wallbase.cc/start/
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] frostman89:
Look up "wallpaper set and save" on market, it will eliminate the color banding you get when you set a wallpaper through the gallery app.

Also make sure the resolution on any wall you get is a minimum of 960x800.

I use fish bowl photo which will also eliminate the banding. dodol wallpaper maker works great for setting portrait wallpapers too.

Thank you for that site, I always used Interfacelift.net. Nice addition.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] slim6596:
I regularly raid DeviantArt for backgrounds and use Wallpaper Wizardrii to set the wallpapers. WW allows you to set a properly sized background without cropping.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] nerozehl:
Do you prefer that over the Fish Bowl Gallery? And does it support high-resolution images?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] slim6596:
I've never used Fish Bowl. I only just started using WW today, but I would think that the no crop feature would only work on a wallpaper that was at or below the correct size for the display.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
I have asked this question before in the xda general section but no responces so maybe ill have luck here. So I purchased the Galaxy S 4g 1 month ago and while I like this phone I want to exchange it for the g2x. I just want to know if its possible, if anyone has tried exchanging their phone after the 14 days because this is my second unit and I am still having major battery issues. Ive tried everything from recalibrating the battery, putting the screen on the minimum brightmes+ screen filter, juice defender, going back to completely stock with no apps, etc and my battery life is still pretty terrible. After playing ONE hour of words with friends (bored and i just wanted to test) my phone goes from 100 to 20%. Words with friends isnt even a cpu heavy game and it took that much out of the battery? Its just unacceptable so I want to try out the g2x which from what I have read has amazing battery life for an android device. So if anyone can provide any advice on what can I do to exchange this phone I would greatly appreciate it. The earlier I change this phone the better. Sorry if this question has already been asked. Ive done a search and i didnt find anything. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nextonline:
It's called warranty. So unless you bought a different region phone that nullifies warranty, contact the manufacturer and explain your problem, they'll have you ship it back to them for a fix. When you get a working unit back, either enjoy it, or sell it and get something else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
This is my second phone, I already used the waranty because my first had the exact same problem so instead of going through the entire process again I just want to avoid the galaxy s 4g all together and get the g2x. Selling the phone isnt really an option either because who would want a galaxy s 4g when there is the g2x, the sensation, and galaxy s 2 right around the corner. I only got this phone because I was doing a switch of responsibility which means my 2 years starting all over again so I decided might as well upgrade. Now im stuck with this thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] WorldWide60:
Yes, if it was less than thirty days then it's possible. If it's beyond thirty days then you may have a hard time. My girl bought a Vibrant and didn't like it, but liked my Hd2 running Cm7. It had been 27 days since she bought the Vibrant, and she was able to return it, and me pay the 100.00 difference for a MyTouch 4g. So, the end result was she got my HD2, and I got a new MyTouch 4g. She had to complain (in store) about the Vibrant, and the manager approved the return. Technically, you have 14 days, unless a manager approves the return. Just don't make it obvious that the only reason you're returning the Galaxy is because the G2x is out.

You might want to try customer loyalty if you can't find a manager.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
Thanks for replying. I think im going to have big issues in returning this phone then. I just realised that this is my 2nd month not 1st owning this phone. Plus our store reps where I live arent too friendly. My mom got a feature phone because she doesnt need a data plan but when she wanted to return it and couldnt within 14 days because of constant snow storms they did not let her even after talking to the manager. They kept saying well thats to bad, you had 14 days. Ill still try it out though, if that doesnt work ill try calling customer service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chalup:
I remember reading somewhere that words with friends is a major battery killer. Anyways, you could try offering to return the phone and resigning a new two year contract with the g2x. When in doubt, mention switching to another provider.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
This.

If all else fails, sell that Vibrant 4G on Craigslist. I bet you can easily get close to $500 for it. Especially if it's brand new and in perfect condition. If you have everything it came with, reseal it and sell it new in box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] coldest~~~:
since the g2x is out, the GS will not worth $500 anymore...since the full retail price of the g2x is $500

[Defy General] danirolo7:
Hello, everyone.

Well...3 days ago it was raining in my city and I was talking with the Defy on the streets, the phone fell to a puddle in the sidewalk, I just picked it up and kept talking, but then I saw there was some fog and little drops of water inside the screen, though the phone was still working perfectly. The next day the fog was still there and the phone was working, but later that day the screen just didn't turn on and the LED was always turned on in red (but I could see the screen items under high light and I managed to see something in the notificacion bar like "new electronic device recognized"). In order to remove the fog I took the battery off and put the phone under my laptop, so the low heat would vaporize the remaining water and maybe the screen would work again.

Now I have the phone with no fog but the screen is still not working, though I can turn on the phone and it vibrates when I press the capacitive keys and it sounds when someone calls and that stuff, it's just the screen isn't working, all black, like missing the retroilumination. The red LED is always on. So I thought of sending it for repairment, but I can't flash any sbf, as I didn't had USB debug mode enabled the RSD Lite says "unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file (0x7029);phone connected". Can I enable the usb debug mode via adb shell?

The phone is rooted, using JBoogie3 Blurless Honey, it's a Vodafone Spain.

TL;DR version: phone got into a puddle, screen stopped working, red LED always on, can't flash any SBF to send it to repair because usb debug mode is not enabled and can't enable it since I can't see the things that are on the screen.

I'll love for ever the one who can lead me to a solution. Thanks in advance, please help, I'm desperate.

PS: The phone was closed and the rubbers on the sides (headphones and usb) were closed too. Sorry for the long post.
[Defy General] lilzad:
i can try and guide you to the usb debug on of settings if you want

GoLauncher EX..I think settings is in the right low corner when you hit menu key in the homescreen..
[Defy General] lilzad:
ok once ur in the settings press near the botton of the screen so the last selection, then turn ur screen sideways and select the last box again to go into development however this time press about 0.5 - 1cm above the botton of the screen. once you in development select get a ruler and from the top of the screen not the fone press at 1.5cm. that should then enable usb debug. if you need any more help just ask or if something does not make sense
[Defy General] danirolo7:
Will try several times..but I can't lose time rebooting everytime I try, anyway I can check if debugging is enabled trough adb or something? >.<

They just told you, reboot the phone.. However, *228 may have nuked your SIM card.
[Thunderbolt General] hammer4203:
*228 doesn't nuke your tb. Just tell them at the verizon store to change your prl. The prl for cdma can be changed. I was on 15008 & now I'm on 13006. I have rebooted several times and it doesn't change.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
Not anymore, but the release day when people would dial it, it nuked the sim cards

Dial *228 and it disconnects now
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
Ya the verizon rep didnt know that and nuked a sim card when trying to activate mine
[Thunderbolt General] SirBindy:
Are you TRYING to screw up your SIM card?

PRL is auto-updated (as necessary) with every reboot.

I can't imagine how many pooched cards we'd see if they hadn't made it auto-end the call... :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt General] bmx5656:
I remember that day loud and clear, after the rep nuked my sim card, he then tried to put a new one in and turned on the phone before activating the sim or something. So my new sim was sent to the "clouds" as verizon said, and it took till the next day for it all to work. I still to this day don't understand 100% what they were trying to tell me.
[Thunderbolt General] rednoved:
On release day, the verizon employee that gave me my TB tried dialing *228 and it would disconnect. They employees had never activated a TB before so I was their first. I'm still using the same sim card, and it isn't nuked. I did get mine a whole hour after the east coast since I'm central standard. Maybe they only got nuked in the first hour?
[Thunderbolt General] dadsterflip:
It changed mine when I rebooted. I'm back to 15000 again and don't care for the hassel to call them.again and wait 30mins for a 5min work.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erigion:
Since none of the initial specs and hands on reviews have mentioned it, I'm guessing that the G2x doesn't have the noise cancellation feature that the Nexus One does. But it'd be nice to get confirmation. So, does this phone have a noise cancellation feature?

I have it in my hands now and it doesn't have noise cancellation. Call quality is excellent though.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilik392:
So, it's kind of a long story, but here it goes.

I had my Epic 4g rooted when the 2.2 update went up. My sister and my dad got the update, but I did not. After trying to update through Sprint and then through update.zip without avail, I gave in and hauled myself over to the Sprint store today. They took my phone and decided to hard reset it and use Odin (kinda funny, huh?) to manually install 2.2. But I definitely would have said "NO!" if they had told me that they were going to reset it. So, they handed it over and I was wondering what I should do. I had backed up my phone a couple days before I went over to the Sprint store, so I thought "Hey, maybe it'll just downgrade my phone to 2.1 and bring back all my apps and settings." Bad idea, I know. So I restored from back up, and then the phone bricked. I ran back over there, and they, after about an hour and a half of waiting in there, restored my phone. Now I'm back to square one, a fresh 2.2 install on my phone.

So, my question is, is it possible to ONLY restore my apps from that backup? When I went into recovery mode > backup and restore > advanced restore, I saw that I could individually restore things, like data, system, etc. If I just pick "data" will it work, and NOT brick my phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If your phone can be restored it is not bricked..more like sponged. Your apps should show up ready to be downloaded again in the market under "my apps" in the menu and then you can restore data if you need it from the advanced section of Clockwork. If you used Titanium you could have restored just apps and data.

[Captivate General] Cdub5:
Just rooted my captivate which was recently upgraded to Froyo through the official Att release. I'm an exteme rookie when it comes to all this, so I'm looking for some help. I want to install a new rom/kernel. Done some research and I'm thinking of trying Cog4. As I said, I'm rooted, I have titanium backup and rom manager. I'm using one click lag fix, which from my research, everyone says is useless, and that voodoo is the way to go. So the question is, where can I get step by step instructions on the easiest way to load the new rom. Can anyone suggest a better rom? What ever your answer is, remember to dumb it down.

Make sure you disable lagfix before you flash.

[Captivate General] megatronisabeast:
I did my first rom flash last week and chose Firefly due to reliability and smoothness. I read all of the threads about each of the roms for several months and read how people liked them plus features each offered. It will really come down to what you want/need in a rom. Besides using xda, I googled flashing roms for captivate and found many videos, etc. that helped guide me along the way. I watched countless hours to make sure I understood not only one way but many to install a rom. Just remember, save your data before you do anything else. Use titanium backup. It is great. Don't assume everything will go okay.

If you are running 2.2 Froyo stock you probably will have to understand how 3E works. If you don't know what this is, search for it on these forums! You have to change this setting before flashing a rom. Good luck!

from stock

root / ( & allow non-market apps via oneClickRoot 1.8 if you need to sideload tibu or rootexplorer.)

fix 3e recovery (root explorer method best)

no OCLF.

tibu backup user apps and green system files (green ones ok between different roms)

copy your new rom.zip to sdcard root renamed UPDATE.zip

boot into stock recovery > reinstall package!

tibu restore all

done!

your new rom will have a kernel with CWM built in. no need for rom manager or the CWM update.zip just to flash the rom. rom zips now do a wipe as well.

i guess you can root then root explorer the 3e recovery then rom manager then flash but how do you root before you fix 3e, doesn't a meathod that doesnt use recovery require a computer anyway? seems like a lot of work and if you are at the computer anyway odin flashing a cwm kernel seems way better. oh well.
[Captivate General] megatronisabeast:
Here is the method I used to root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304

It didn't require a fix for 3E since I wasn't flashing a rom but it was painless. I did a lot of research and found the way I thought would be easiest for me to root and flash a rom. The great thing is there are many ways to do it so you really have to not be looking to get one that doesn't work.
