[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwelland:
Using an at&t SGT with overcome 1.3.0. Long time linux user, and well-indoctrinated into homenetworking. Somewhere > novice but < journeyman android user (got an n1 spring of '10 and my SGT in 1/2011)

At home I use wi-fi most of the time on my sgt. I have an imap server in my home lan, and want to connect to it and check mail from my SGT (while on my home lan). I have done the manual imap setup with default email client -- no worky. I have tried K9 too--no worky. Both rather quickly say 'cannot connect'. I have used both my imaps server's ip and name -- no wroky. I have used both port 143 (default imap) and 1143 on my SGT (yes i changed my server to listen to those ports, too) -- no worky.

Finally i can ssh fine to the box running the imap server from my SGT. I can telnet to my router from my SGT, too. Monitoring some of the logs on the imap box doesn't even show any sort of hiccup that the SGT even got to the server (while attempting to imap).

Imap works ok from thunderbird to the target imap. . .

Any ideas where to check next?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwelland:
Almost fixed. Turns out my SGT was probably not at fault...

There is/was some wicked combo of selinux and iptables that was blocking inbound connections and then i had issues binding to ports using the ip of the host (when iptables was sorted out).

The later bind issue still persists but running the imap/mail server (who's ports are > 1000) as root fixes that. . . User space apps not binding to ports >1000 is new to me. . .been running fedora core versions since its beginning and haven't had this issue before. The imap host is a fc 13box; disabling selinux didnt help, either. I guess this is no longer an android issue. . .

Besides i am just talking to myself anyways...

I got an error screen after trying to update my kernel. My phone's 3 button recovery doesn't work so i cannot go back to download mode to get it working again. Also i cant get it to go to download mode through SDK manager either. The phone doesn't connect to the computer anymore. Every time i open it it comes up with that error screen and doesn't go. Ive tried everything, taken out the battery and leaving it out for a while putting it back in still nothing. Can someone please help i cant use my phone anymore. Thanks in advance. Azzy

[HTC Inspire 4G] nostabo:
If I install a stock or non-rooted rom to my currently rooted and sim unlocked Inspire will the rom also sim relock the phone? Or is it permanently unlocked?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
It's "permanently" until you run the stock ruu and return it to as shipped condition.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BB2DX:
Yes, but you still have s-off even after running stock ruu. There is a tool somewhere to get s-on for return purposes.

Nice post.... How much memory is accessible for apps? And what's the full ram with all apps closed/bootup .... Thanks man. Awesome review
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Nice. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Not sure about first boot but based on Anandtech's review of the O2X and what I'm seeing in OS monitor only looks like 384!! 128MB of the 512MB ram is dedicated to the Nvidia GPU/CPU so that only leaves 384.

OH and one other thing that's extremely annoying is how the SD card is handled in this phone. The internal 5GB of free storage is actually mounted as SDCARD!!! /mnt/sdcard

The external SD card is mounted as /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD

So any and all apps end up writing to the internal 5GB and not the external SD. You have to have apps that can have paths changed and I guess you can still store pictures, music and other junk on the SD card but you'll end up using your internal 5GB for most app stuff whether you like it or not!!

So that's a big --- for me I forgot to add :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Great summary, thanks for that !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I don't know if you travel internationally but WiFi calling is a lifesaver. Anywhere you can connect to the Internet all the calls you make are counted as U.S. domestic against your U.S. minutes. I'm in Europe and Asia a lot and it's saved me a fortune in roaming charges. I just used it on a cruise ship to call home for the 25 cents a minute the ship charges for WiFi access. You can also use it on GoGo to call and text from planes. I've done the latter but wouldn't want to become a national security risk doing the former. And yes, it deactivates the radio so calls, text, and data are transmitted via WiFi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moemoney12:
Thanks for the early review. I played with in the store the other day, and the screen is nice. I currently have a nexus s, and the G2x screen is on par with the nexus s. The G2x actually has more pop with the color. The phone feels well made, and it's a beast very snappy. I'm still debating, whether to sale my nexus s. Decisions decisions.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] fearmonkey:
Call quality? Maybe it's just my ears, but my vibrant really bites when it comes to this. Too low without HAC and everyone always sounds muffled..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
A few calls I've made the earpiece is very clear and loud...couldn't put it at full volume because it was too loud which is a good thing. My Inc's earpiece was somewhat quiet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsalate:
I too was amazed at how great the screen is. It's bright and the colors POP! The blacks are not as rich as Sammy's but to me the display looks better because that bluish tinge is not on the G2x. I can't wait to get gingerbread on here and then this will probably end up being my favorite device to date.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceroglu:
I dont believe anybody mentioned if tethering is working on this phone? I am sure with rooting and custom ROMS it will work. But, I am just curious does it work right out of box?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsalate:
It works right out the box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
This is basically the same as the Vibrant (what I used to have until recently). That amount of available memory is plenty imho. The "sdcard, _externalsd" thing is getting to be pretty standard from what I understand. However, I could still move a great number of apps over to the external SD if I wanted (never really wanted to though).

I wouldn't have minded a bit more internal storage (coming from 16 Gig on the Vibrant), but 5 Gig is still pretty good. With 16, I really never used my external SD at all. With 5, I may have to put some on each or use the external as primary storage and internal for apps and roms (no big deal).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ajftl:
I'm picking 7mbps inside home which usually its not good signal. My Tb have very bad 4g signal inside here. But out when tb gets good lte signal it blows the G2x but overall its a great phone. A keeper
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I agree, this will be fine for me, I'm used to my vibrant like that.. 5 is plenty for apps and data, then ill use my sd for multimedia ..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fhaines:
Awsome device, no problems.

Got it yesterday, charged it up. So no problems thus far. No reboots,no stalls.

Its as quick as hell, and seems to be holding a charge pretty well.

Holds a 4g signal better than the MyTouch 4g it replaced.

Screen is beautiful. Better than the SGS4G i replaced with the MT4G.

Contrary to what everyone is saying the 512mgs of ram seems to have no negative impact on performance.

IMO this would be an appropriate upgrade for anyone with a SGS4G,G2,MyTouch4G or Cliq 2. It screams speed.

Is there a theme (or can someone point me towards how to make one) that resembles the Gingerbread AOSP ROM (i.e. those awesome green icons on the tray) but for a Sense ROM, just so I can get the best of both worlds?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Matty Matt:
Your best bet would be to use the UOT and you can't use the original Gingerbread battery (you have to choose the colours, which you could change to resemble it) but you can choose the original Notifications icons from GB. On top of that, you can change the WHOLE notification area to that of Gingerbread!

All working well.

But when i screen off,Signal also stopped.

Works well when screen on.

But it drains the battery.

Not original cable.

I want TV out to work when screen is off.

How to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
As far as I'm aware, the TV out comes from the screen feed and the audio feed. Therefore, if you do not have any feed to screen there is no feed to TV from the jack socket.

@borchgrevink,

The cable to use is a Nokia TV out cable, can be got in the UK from the bay for less than £2.00

Mvideoplayer app developer responded my email when I asked him if this would be possible:

"...Made a test build with that feature which I tested on my Nexus One with 2.2. It didn't work, when I sat the brightness to 0 the playback stopped and the phone went to sleep (I didn't know that), I guess this is how it works and that means it's not possible. There is no other way in the API to just turn of the screen. It's not allowed. "

Bummer...

I've tried the Screen Filter widget, but it shades the TV screen a well, so, the only way to spend LESS battery is to set the brightness to minimum before switching to your player of choice (in Mvideoplayer you can easily set it via a slider in the GUI).
[Trophy General] Anderdroid:
Just switched from Nexus S, to iPhone 4, and now to the Trophy.

Nexus S and iPhone 4 had great bluetooth audio quality in my car's speakers. The trophy however has this scratchy noise that plays with music, it's frustrating. Is this a WP7 issue or a Trophy issue? I do have a Focus as well that I put on eBay so I guess I'll test it before I ship it off.

There's no scratchiness if I use headphones directly, and I guess I could do the AUX in jack... But I prefer staying wireless.

Any sort of registry edits or something that might improve Bluetooth quality? Or am I the only one even noticing this scratchiness?
[Trophy General] Jorijn:
I had the same. When I disabled the 'sound enhancements' the problem was over.
[Trophy General] R. Kamidees:
Did you disable it through the HTC Sound Enhancements app, or through another menu?

The options were grayed out (in Sound Enhancements) when I had it connected to my dash unit.

edit: I should clarify that the "Equalizer" portion of the Sound Enhancements is grayed out unless I have something plugged into the headphone jack. I can't find any other menu that deals with sound quality, etc.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I found some advice about editing some reg entries, but I've had this phone for about a week now and WP7 hacking is still something I know absolutely nothing about.
[Trophy General] MeatHead88:
Registry setting we need to change..

My Trophy's BT Audio sux too....

From the other theads, I gleaned that Windows Phone has 3 BT audio quality settings.

I've been trying to figure how to get a registry editor installed on my Trophy that is running RTM Mango without downgrading to NoDo but No Go :(

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]

"UseJointStereo"=dword:1 ;For A2DP audio quality in AKU2.3 and above.

"BitPool"=dword:1E ;By default, A2DP uses a bitpool of 0x30. 0x40 - Better than Excellent audio quality 0x3A.

"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:50 ; PTS 3.0.1 requests Max Bit Pool is 0x35.

Would definitely like to see a solution to this . Mine sounds awful too . I'm on the Verizon trophy so I dunno if we can even do reg edits ...

Just bought a bad ass stereo and tested with my lady's iPhone in the store ... Sounded amazing . Got it installed and paired with my phone ...and was very disappointed. Lets get this figured out.
[Trophy General] Lumina:
I found it sounds best if you have the volume down to 25 and have all 'sound enhancer' options off. If I have it up to 30 I get a little crackle on the highs.

Other then that, it's been great!

Yeah that's what im hearing crackle on the highs .ill tone it down a bit on the phone end and see if it helps ...that actually would make sense .

THIS. bluetooth audio has been driving me crazy. There is a noticable static on a lot of songs. Im just waiting for a mango unlock so I can edit my registry.
[Trophy General] MeatHead88:
making progress

I was able to finally load a registry editor to my Trophy without hacking the OS.

I can see the registry key that needs to be edited.

But when I change the key's values, they don't save. Instead they revert to what they were before...

very frustrating
[Trophy General] chanmanx2k:
Chevron is released. First thing up on my list of hacks, is this. Also meathead, how were you able to edit your registries yet?
[Trophy General] MeatHead88:
I don't think Chevron will help us... It just provides a method to load apps such as registry editors it doesn't give those apps the permissions needed to actually edit the registry, only read it :(

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

from the Chevron Site:

"

interop-unlock is a way to both install more apps, and install apps with higher permissions (for example, edit the registry, which allows many nice things like custom accent colors)

"

Chervon only provides a Developer Unlock, not the coveted Interop-Unlock :(
[Trophy General] lucas.scott:
I got unlocked via chevron last night ... from what i understand ( i have tried ) , we cannot change any sort of system settings with this unlock . It is purely for apps .

Someone even upoaded a xap of advanced config and stripped the interop parts . The app launched fine but is unable to save any such settings to bluetooth or anything else because it lacks the permissions .

Very disappointing . I do love the homebrew though so its okay . But man i really need to fix this audio . Looks like we are stuck waiting a while longer .
[Trophy General] leguaan:
I've got the DFT freedom rom for a while now and i got the impression that the audio sound via bluetooth is much better now.

Anyone else the same experience?
[Trophy General] chanmanx2k:
I purchased the chevron unlock yesterday ONLY so that I can edit this bluetooth registry. How disappointing.
[Trophy General] MeatHead88:
Anyone try a custom firmware?

Another way around our delima would be to load one of these cutom firmwares that come fully unlocked. I think you loose your text messages and anythign saved only to the phone...

I'm looking at them now but can't figure out which one would be for Verizon Trophys..

I'm not sure if I should trust them either with all the things I do with my phone :(

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Hi leguaan,

since you loaded custom firmware and state the BT audio has improved, could you do us a favor and report back your registry keys and values under:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2 DP\Settings]

?

Thanks

[OK, got some stuff done this weekend (not too much, got some family going over to a different country for a year, so they had to be ... sent off, merrily :P)]

It seems that with every mobile OS released, I hate the way you launch apps. I always end up with tons of apps and it always gets tedious to find and launch the one I want quickly.

To solve that, I've made AppGrouper. It's a quick, simple, catagorised application launcher. The idea is to pin the app to your homescreen, and launch your apps from there. It frees up all that homescreen real-estate into just one button:

You add apps by just hitting the "ADD APP" icon or long clicking on any app icon after you've added an app to a category. You can add category buttons (or rename/delete them) by long clicking on a category button.

This is version 1.0 of my first android app, so be gentle :P

Nah, just kidding: send/post everything and anything you find broken (I don't expect much to be) or would like different or to be added. Don't be shy :) Even if you don't like the colour :P

PS: this works great on my Desire HD, both on Froyo and Gingerbread. I'm real curious to know if it works on other devices!

--UPDATE 14/6/11--

Thanks for all the feedback, guys! It really helps!

Anyway, I posted v1.0.1:

-fixed scrolling issue

-cleaned up interface (you won't notice ... much)

-code cleanup (removed some calls which were unnecessary)

Still working on:

-swipe gesture

-multi-select of apps to be added to group

-getting the app to recognize that your trying to launch the context menu when you hit an empty GridView item (Man, that's obtuse! I really don't want to write my own onTouch listener and throw away the contextmenu code :( )

Also, ITS IN THE MARKET!!!11!!01!

So, if you're using this (as I suspect a few of you are :P), donate me a cup of coffee for the hours I've been putting into this by buying it on the market, please! Thanks! Maybe I can take my girlfriend out to celebrate :)

[Android Apps and Games] cyber_pete:
Just installed and testing it out, really like what I see so far. One issue I have found. Selecting transparent background does not stick. The next time I launch the app the background is back to default.

And a suggestion, you might want to make adding additional apps once the first one has been added more intuitive. I had to try several different options before I found I needed to long press the existing shortcut to add new one.

Great work.

EDIT - I have an Inspire running CoreDroid 6.7.
[Android Apps and Games] MacDegger:
Ah ... uh ... :) Heh, the transparency thing :) Yeah, I should fix that. I just never use that option, so I kinda left that to v1.0.0.1 :)

As for the shortcut adding, what would you say would be a better way of doing that? Just adding a "help" menu explaining it, add a menu option to "add shortcut", allow right clicking the free space next to the icons ... any suggestions are welcome!
[Android Apps and Games] cyber_pete:
I was thinking long press anywhere in the open space (that's what I tried first) or "add shortcut" in the menu. You could do both if you want to cover all bases. I think long press should be adequate though. Maybe short press and icon to change it. I will keep testing and send anymore feedback your way.

Well, it's nice to have choices. Try them all and keep whichever you like best. So far I like this one just fine. Well done dev.
[Android Apps and Games] Ceeefax:
I was wondering this too. One I used since i my Hero was Folder Organiser. Does this add any new features?
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
My understanding is that something that this app offers and Apps Organizer doesn't is that you access your apps by launching the app itself rather than a shortcut or a widget.

The upside of that approach is that it should work with any launcher and any dock. Regina Launcher, for instance, only supports apps in its dock so that's a perfect solution for that.
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
Not only that but I've been using a app called "Auto App Organizer" for some months now that automatically categorizes (or manual upon installation) all your installed apps like Apps,Games,Fun,Internet,System,Multimedia etc etc. You can also set shortcut icons on home screen to the categories that open as folders when clicked on home. This is the best and most efficient way ive found of installing/organizing our app shortcuts.

@ OP

If you want some ideas you should really have a look at this app.

[Android Apps and Games] circa881:
