Just tried it. Only gets rid of the keyguard. Not the pattern or pin or password screen (interesting enough, the password creation screen has a stock landscape virtual keyboard)

Note, if you press power to lock the screen, and immediately press it again to bring up the lock screen, the pattern lock never has time to activate, so no need to enter it. Wish we had the mytouch4gslide's/htc's option of having an intentional, user choosen delay between the screen timeout and the pattern lock activating.

I'm on mostly stock kg2.

maybe but i dnt think that mostly all of us didnt know that. lol. i found that out by accident..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] chaostic_2k1:
The g1 also has a blatent security hole like that. If you are locked out of the password screen, you can still get calls. By opening and closing the hardware keyboard rapidly, you can glitch it into showing the home screen, so you can do anything until you let it fall sleep again.

Is it even possible to remove the Universal Composer? It's taking up way too much space in the status bar, and I have no use for it, seeing as I don't use either Twitter or MySpace and don't mind using Facebook manually.

I tried uninstalling it using SystemApp Remover but the bar was still there, only pressing it crashed the phone.

You can go into settings > display > and uncheck 'my Social Network Status' and that should stop it from displaying in the status bar.

hey fellas my buddy has a evo we just recently got for him to get off t-mobile since they're aweful in our area. After having boost as a new customer with the evo for 3 weeks, his 3G suddenly took a turn for the worst. when we first got him the phone we did a nandroid backup within having the phone for a hour..

the phone is now having the 3G come on and off (like lightly lit then turning dark with activity) and going back and forth when he tries to use any data at all. it's very spotty, sometimes it will work and sometimes it wont. we have tried restoring him right to the first nandroid backup we made with no luck. what gives? he hasn't abused his data at all or anything, his bill is paid and in good standing.. :confused:

its also for the same amount of time been popping up the data call failure, cannot sign into sprint pcs network? or such.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
I've backed up a few times with My Backup Pro and flashed ROMs, restoring data via the same program. It seems, looking at it now, that I have somehow managed to duplicate my contacts multiple times. I now have a huge number of contacts, many of them identical and I keep getting link suggestions for all of them.

Any ideas how I can clean this mess up? I've searched and found a few related threads in other forums, but none of them were quite this problem and none of them seemed to have any solutions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
It seems I'm also having a similar problem with apps. It looks like my apps that were moved to the SD card originally are still there, but not being seen by the system. My Backup Pro restored all my apps to the phone, and those are the ones it's using. If I move all those apps to the SD card, now I think I'll have two versions of those apps.

Is there any way to run something that can check my phone for these kinds of duplicates and consolidate things a little? I'm getting worried that I'll end up filling my phone up with useless repeats of things until it's just a pile of bloated crap...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ephemeralness:
I had a similar problem with my google contacts duplicating themselves for some reason. If duplicates are google you can go to google.com/contacts to edit them. There is a "Find Duplicates" button on the right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
I actually just found this as well. I tried it and resynced my google account on the phone and it doesn't seem to have removed them. Is there something I have to do to force the phone to get rid of the duplicates as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
Not the right place for it, but figured since I have a thread going already I might as well ask here. I'm trying to Fix Permissions in ROM Manager, as I figure those might be pretty messed up after everything as well. But, even though ROM Manager has Root Access, it tells me an error occurred while "trying to run privileged commands." I have the paid version, I'm not sure why this is happening. Thoughts?

EDIT: Didn't want to keep bumping this thing, but I found the app Contact Remover to be a big lifesaver in a few ways. Specifically, I had 75 blank contacts that were just sitting there for some reason. This app allowed me to select multiples and delete them easily, in a way the People app wouldn't! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.octabode.dcfd
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
This is actually something I've been wondering about myself.

Most of my apps are on my SD, and I'm preparing to flash a new Rom, for the first time ever (aside from the rooting process, that is).

Seems I recall something similar occurring post-root, with apps I had on prior.

I'm thinking I should move them back on to the phone, do a new backup, then flash the new Rom, restore, and then move them back to the SD.

[Android Themes] B-boy™:
Lame thread title, I know, but I need someone that knows a lot more than I do to help out with a couple ideas I have... I have 8 themes out for 3 ROMs for the Moto Droid 1 so I'm legit... lol

IDEA 1: NO MENU ICONS - System wide though..

On this screen shot all but 5 of the icons are gone, just an enlarged text instead like the expanded menu... I left that 1 icon as a reference.. All I did was make the icons 10x10 and transparent and made the text bigger.. pretty simple. But all this will do is make all the system apks I theme have that effect.. but if a data/app is used, the pop up menu will have an icon AND enlarged, cut off text... Can't have that now.. My question is "is there a way to have the system bypass even calling on or using ANY menu icons across the whole phone?.. Like put an @null somewhere?... The idea would be cool and I wanna complete it so any help would be great....

IDEA 2: ANIMATED LOCKSCREEN/ PULLDOWN - No screen shots for this one but I'll explain it.. I'll leave the pulldown out since I haven't messed with it yet, even though it was my original idea back in December.. The concept to have both or just 1 of these run a cycle of pngs to create an animation.. like live wallpapers do, sort of... then themers could use those png's to create their own animations... it's something different and I think would be very cool....

In res/layout/keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml the background is usually pointing to #70000000 for a 70% transparent lockscreen background.. I write in @drawable/lockscreen_background and toss a png into the drawable-hdpi folder cause I like having a set bg for my lockscreens... What I did is make it @drawable/lockscreen_bg, wrote(copied the stat_sys_upload.xml) a new xml named lockscreen_bg and put it in the res/drawable folder.. I set the duration to 200 and had all 6 of the test anim.png's listed just like the stat_sys_upload/download have, then I tossed 6 png's into the d-hdpi folder.. it compiles up fine and once applied, It reads the first anim.png but doesn't cycle them... upon some reading, I think I have to tell it to run() or start() the animation but that's a little beyond me.. the pulldown would actually be quite similar to the lockscreen background if that one is even possible... but it DID read my xml and read the first png in that xml so I think I'm on the right track.. I just need some help from anyone that has some insight into how animations run... thanks...

I have a dumb suggestion, but is the cord pushed all the way in to the phone? I thought I was having this problem but the cord was only part way in... You should feel a click/thunk when it's in all the way.

Not trying to insult your intelligence BTW, because I did this myself with FullHDMI. I've never tried connecting to a laptop though, so it could be something completely different.

You can't connect it to a laptop because laptops have hdmi-out ports, not hdmi-in. TVs have hdmi-in ports so you can mirror onto them. That's why you can mirror your laptop screen onto a TV.

[General Questions and Answers] ipigi:
Hi all,

First let me say I want to stay away from the iPad. After getting royally burned with the 4.0 iOS upgrade on my iPhone 3G and now having to live with the degraded performance on it and lack of future support past 4.2, I doubt I'll ever buy another apple product. I was never one to drink their cool-aid anyway.

But now to the question at hand. What Tablet should I buy?

The main reason for the purchase is so I can watch videos without having to drag out my laptop. I don't want to have to convert the video to be able to play it. I just want to watch 350Mb/1.1Gb TV shows on it without having to worry about planning ahead of time.

Ideally, I would like GPS capabilities on it. 3G is not really required, I can tether it to my phone (i have a plan for that) or will be using it in areas where wifi is available.

I've been looking at a few tablets, namely the Motorolla Xoom and the Viewsonic Viewpad 10. The Xoom seemed like a nice enough device, especially with honeycomb, but it seems to have issues with HD video. The reason I picked the viewpad 10 was for Windows 7, but android 1.6 and the little disk space available left on it after windows installation makes me wonder how effective it will be as a tablet. Having windows 7 on a tablet would be amazing. I would love the flexibility it would afford on the tablet.

So does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Do you want to have 7" or 10" ?

For watching Video it will be better with 10".

How about Galaxy Tab 10" ? It's honeycomb and very light.

I am running the Acer A500 right now and am very impressed. It got some poor reviews compared to the Asus Transformer in terms of the battery life and screen quality... I have been off the charger for almost 15 hours, watched an entire episode of Stargate: Universe (streaming btw), a few hours of web browsing casually, a few rounds of Let's Play Golf, and of course the good old forums and I am still at 40%. Pretty damn good I think. Tablet and Win7 really is a cumbersome ui and the battery life terrible there (I own one). Honeycomb has quite a few MINOR bugs to work out, but I am only considering the Asus if the screen is really a lot better. Just my opinion but ihth

If you say seven and don't mind messing around with a tablet and enjoy rooting and modding the nookcolor is nice and a lot of fun. that being said if you want working honeycomb out of the box look elsewhere. Also the nook tablet won't be as smooth as it's not a dual core or anything like that, but i still love mine.
[General Questions and Answers] ianken:
If your TV rips are 24p (and most of them probaly are) then they will not play smoothly on the G-Slate at the moment.

Tegra-2 does not do advanced profile, so if your rips are from the net they will most likely not play well and require re-encoding. Tegra2 does not do 8x8 transforms, cabac or p-frames all of which are generally used in "scene rips."

[General Questions and Answers] ipigi:
I did forget to mention it, but I was looking at 10" Tablets.

I was digging around a little after I posted this and did see the Acer A500 and the transformer. Both seemed to be great machines. I was actually aiming for the 16GB transformer. 16GB would be plenty and would only cost about 400$ plus tax and S&H, and I can always add a MicroSD.

I'm in Canada though, and it seems both the A500 and Transformer are either unavailable as of yet or back-order. But I'm willing to wait for those since the price seems to be right and so far I'm reading positive reviews.

I've read about the Tegra not being the best at doing video, another reason why I was looking at the viewpad 10 that has an atom cpu.

I dont mind putting down 300-400$ on a tablet, as long as it does what I want from it.

Thanks for all the answers so far!

I've been using the Viewsonic G Tablet for several months now. I rooted and flashed a custom ROM within 10 minutes of using the stock OS. But I got a few weeks after it came out. It's my understanding that the updates to the stock have been very beneficial.

I'm currently the vegan tab gingerbread build. its pretty amazing. the video like people have said earlier is still something to be desired because its still not using hardware encode or decode? something like that. I'm not very familiar with that sort of stuff. But I have heard that they are making progress.

The G-tablet does not have GPS but if your phone does I have seen success stories of using GPS sharing apps as well as tethering for data to use the g-tablet as a 10 inch navi lol but if you're gonna mount that in your car you will definitely need a custom mount

I just recently checked out the Xoom at best buy and was surprised to see that Acer has taken the Iconia and turned into tab form. it also sports honeycomb. someone else was checking it out so I didn't get a chance to really get a hands on demo but it looked like it was super fast

[General Questions and Answers] Chandon:
The best generally available WiFi tablet right now is unquestionably the Asus Eee Pad. All the reviews are saying it's like a Xoom with a better screen for half the price. The only real alternative is the Notion Ink with the crazy reflective screen, but getting in an order is damn near impossible.

If you want a cellular data plan, the G-Slate is the only 4G tablet out at the moment (carefully ignoring the Streak 7 with its 3 hour battery life).

All the 7" tablets that are out now are a bit old, although the Nook Color looks like a good buy at $250.

If you want to wait for something better, there's always the 8-core Tegra 4 processor with cheap whitespace-band Super-WiFi. I'd hold out for wireless HDMI 1080p HUD glasses - those things are pretty sweet.

Personally, by the time that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes out, you will have other tablets that have taken the market.
[General Questions and Answers] deez1234:
I'm gonna obviously say you should get the G-Slate. It has fast 4G, 3D Camcorder, 8.9" Screen, fits in your hands nicer that some of the bigger tablets, and is very under rated. You should check out the specs on the T-Mobile website or read some reviews about it. The battery life is also very good for many users. There are more pros but I'm tired and can't think off the top of my head. Just read up on it!
[General Questions and Answers] ipigi:
So after much research on google, youtube and reading forums here I have finally decided what tablet I should get.

My initial choice was the Asus EEE transformer, but it seems to be back ordered everywhere and near impossible to get. So I decided to go for my second choice, which is the Acer A500.

I received this little guy on friday and so far I have to say I am pleased with it, although some things aren't quite what I expected.

Video playback is good for most file types, but HD high profile content is not usable at all, which was to be expected. Most of the HD stuff I watch I usually watch on my TV screen anyway, so I can live with this drawback.

My initial disappointment was lack of out of the box exchange activesync support. I did find an application on the market. It gets the job done, but I will have to purchase it at some point to keep using it. Being an IT consultant, I feel like this should be part of any mobile device.

Remote desktop and ssh work like a charm and does exactly what I wanted out of them.

Battery life is good, I can easily use it all day playing games/watching movies on a full charge and still have a bit of charge left.

Added surprise, I did find adosbox for android. It runs well, and I was hoping to run many dos games on it, but the lack of proper touchscreen calibration makes it difficult for most games. Here I was hoping to play some x-com on my tablet! ;) So far, playing oldies like Covert Action brings back good memories!

Does anyone know how I could fix the touchscreen calibration for adosbox? So far having a dos emulator is an unexpected bonus and having the ability to play abandonware games is a real goldmine.

Welcome to the Iconia A500 family! For Exchange, there is a post in the Iconia forum about porting over the Xoom mail.apk which works well. If you aren't rooted, K-9 Mail from the market also is a great free option for exchange support. As far as the calibration, I haven't seen anything about anyone else having issues and I would think that may be specific to that program since everything else seems to be calibrated right out of the box.
