[Captivate General] phlunkie:
have you tried the pull battery, put back in, hold vol -/+ and plug the usb in?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
you messed it up!

try using using a jig. buy or make. read all the instructions. hold with tape..

try your button combo again, keep the buttons held!

if no go... warranty and lie your ass off!

and i think i have read in almost every how to video.... "BE CAREFUL TO NOT PULL OUT THE CORD WHILE FLASHING!"
[Captivate General] g35dw888:
yes ive tried it. and i will if it does...
[Captivate General] dingokevin:
Jig that's all you can do. And how hard is it for people to go into dl mode start one click and step away. Ever other day new post unplug now I'm bricked.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
at least he didnt "blame the cat"

god i hate cats! ill never have one.
[Captivate General] dingokevin:
Hahahaha hate cats too.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Hey, I have a manic ass pit bull, he has unplugged mine before during odin. It happens!

He chills under my desk while I'm sitting at it (best foot warmer ever) and someone knocked on the door, he went to see what's up and took the chord with him. Lucky for me my button combo works.

If it was a cat I bet a million it would've bricked. Cats suck.

Op ... time to live big willy style and get jiggy with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgmorris89:
Currently on InsertCoin Data++ and while it's beautiful and smooth, the battery life is quite poor (I've found...). Looking for a ROM with a far better battery life.

It needs to be sense really. I basically love the dialer/sms/mail apps. I've tried a couple of AOSP ROMS with reputedly great battery life (namely Oxygen and Redux) but I just don't like the feel of them beyond the home screen. I suppose I wouldn't mind a "stripped sense" ROM as that would keep the apps I like, would it not?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
Not quite the answer you are after but you could always use a stripped ROM and LauncherPro which has some sense-like widgets.

The Go Contacts/SMS/Weather/Dialer etc seem like decent replacements too.

I gave up on Sense a long time ago.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgmorris89:
I wouldn't mind that, I'd just need the actual apps too. Are they present on stripped sense roms?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
Well I use GingerVillain which is Gingerbread.

LauncherPro

Go SMS

Go Contacts

Go Dialer

Go Weather

Beautiful Widgets

..... all available on the market

you will have to purchase the full version of LauncherPro (a couple of quid) for the widgets but its well worth it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgmorris89:
I'll take a look at those apps now then...thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgmorris89:
OK after a few minutes of fiddling about with those, they're definitely worthy replacements :D thanks for that.

Dyou know of any good gallery/mail*/calendar apps too?

*I currently have both ExchangeActiveSync and Gmail accounts, both in the native "Mail" app
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
LauncherPro has a great Calendar widget built in.

GMAIL i use the standar google app to be honest

Gallery wise I use the gallery app built into GingerVillain which i think is called 3D Gallery.

Id also recommend

BattStatt

Make Your Clock Widget
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgmorris89:
Thanks...I've just flashed Oxygen so we'll see how it goes :D

Is it possible to get the Sense Keyboard dyou know?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
hmmm. you may be able to download it somewhere but the Gingerbread Keyboard is decent enough.

'Go' also do a keyboard that you can skin but i will admit im not keen on that one :p

[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
It seems to be a common belief that apps can crash your phone.

The way Android is designed, apps cannot directly cause crashes/reboots. Apps can indirectly encounter bugs in the kernel/hardware, causing reboots. But that is the kernel/hardware fault.

Apps cannot crash Android (unless they use root). Android was designed from day one as a secure system, part of which is the Linux kernel that isolates each app into its own process with its own UID (user id) and protected memory space. iOS has a similar design.

Because of this, all versions of Android take advantage of multiple processors because Linux load balances processes on multiple CPUs when given the chance.

Apps themselves can force close, but any time your phone itself reboots or shuts off it is either due to a hardware issue or a software issue in the system, often the device drivers that drive each individual piece of hardware. Think of the proximity sensor, gyroscope, the cameras, the touch panel, the graphics chip, etc. that go into a phone. Each phone generally has a new part for each of those, and each of those needs a Linux device driver (called a module in Linux) to operate it. This is often (but not always) where bugs occur.

The only way an app can crash Android is indirectly, e.g. triggering a bug in the kernel or any of the system process that run as root, either maliciously or accidentally. In this case it is not the apps fault but a bug in the system implementation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
So you're trying to say that when I was using the fring app and the equifax app and the phone rebooted that it was???? And after removing these apps the phone doesn't have any issues?

Yes. I can believe that it is an issue with our drivers, but to say the apps aren't crashing our phones is a little irresponsible since our only recourse right now is to watch what apps we have on our phones until we get the real issue resolved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jink25:
The OP is right on with this, each app runs in its own sandbox.

Several apps running simultaneously trying to access the same resources may uncover some bugs in the underlying android OS hence the crash..many reasons it could happen but it still doesnt mean the application code itself was the issue.

99% of the time it is something the user has done in rooting or modifying something that causes instability...as well as opens yourself up for getting malware and other nasty stuff on your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
wouldn't this mean the app crashed the OS? :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Well if say there is a bug in the camera, and because of it any app that says "give me the camera" makes the phone crash, would you say it's the app's fault or the OS's fault? :cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
well I now have learned how to successfully get my G2x to crash.. reboots every time.

Update apps from the market is what is doing it for me, ones that are large and default to app2sd
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chinpokomon:
It's an OS fault. Although it might be possible for an updated App to work around the issue and not crash, an update to the OS is far more likely to fix the problem. In common practice, users aren't going to know the difference, and if an app vendor can fix their app for that one instance, they will be able to roll out a fix more quickly than the user is likely to see an OS fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jink25:
How is your SD card formatted, and have you tried using a different card?

As OP stated...crashes like yours are going to be caused at the kernel level or due to hardware issues, not by the application.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Andre Mostert:
I would like to call on all WP7 developers out there to partake in a challenge to see who can solve this extremely frustrating issue that I endure on a daily basis. I am sure (Convinced) that there are thousands of fellow WP7 users out there who share this sentiment: As much as love my WP7 HTC Mozart, and I do, the power button is driving me up the wall!!! Every time that I put my phone in my pocket, it switches off. I find myself checking every couple of minutes to see if the device is still on. It is soooooo frustrating!!!!! I am sure that it is not device specific – that it happens to other devices too running the WP7 os. (and I am not blaming the Operating System in any way) Guys – PLEASE – Anyone who can help in attempting to write an application, one similar to the one we had in 6.5 where, If the power button gets held down for a second or 3, a confirmation screen pops up asking if you are sure that you want to power down the device, thus, preventing accidental power-downs. Julien made a name for himself in the WP7 community with his ingenious Windows Phone Device Manager & TouchXplorer. Here is your chance to rise and stand out from the crowd and “come to our rescue” with an app to solve this issue.I am positive that it will be appreciated by millions. If I had the know-how I would have tried myself, but I am clueless when it comes to programming – Therefore my plead to all you clever guys out there :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] robertftw:
Got a Mozart aswell and that has never happened for me :confused:

And I'm pretty sure you can't change the behaviour of the power button.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] munkeyphyst:
Don't know what you're doing when you put your phone in your pocket, but I have never experienced what you are describing.

That being said, good luck with your quest.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] eried:
Maybe your pants are too tight... :D

Never experienced that problem either.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] bevoc:
go for repairs

from what u are saying i am pretty sure that your phone is screwed somehow. never happened to me or my colleagues at work.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ertz:
That never happened to me with my HTC Surround. The HD7 used to unlock its screen while in my pocket, but that's a completely different problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Andre Mostert:
Guys, Thank you for your input and views on this topic. If this doesn’t happen to you…well then, consider yourself lucky because it happens to me all the time. In my small circle of life I know of at least 6 people who have the same issues with the power button. Different phones. (Mozart, HD2, HD7) It is simple. When my phone is in my pocket and I sit down in front of a computer, or whatever, the power button gets pressed and it powers down. Thus my request to someone clever enough out there to write an app that solves this issue. It is not impossible. Such an app existed in win 6.5 and saved the day for me. So there is no reason why such an app will not work in WP7. Same hardware – Different OS. The issue is not hardware related. It is software. Thus it can be done. We just don’t know how yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Andre Mostert:
...and Erwin...my pants is a bit too tight for my liking. lol :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] eried:
There is no low level access for functions like that. I suggest you to buy a case that covers around the power button
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] bevoc:
it is hardware related.

the matter here is the button is pressed. buttons are hardware. the software is fine. my girlfriend's mozart never turns off, and she's wearing skinny jeans like 90% of the time.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Andre Mostert:
Yes, buttons are hardware, but it is the software that makes the phone turn on or off when you press the button. Thats quite logical.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TomaHawk93:
There is a similar Problem :D If you don't know that your phone is turned off, the only way is to push the on off button. The result: You know then that you phone WAS turned off xD
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] munkeyphyst:
^ Just pressing the power button won't turn your phone off or on. It requires a three second press to do that.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] buffalosolja42:
don't think its your phone

My focus when on my armband when running shuts down periodically but I do have 18" arms lol. I think it is a pressure thing on the phone honestly like my focus does.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] TomaHawk93:
On the HTC Trophy you have to press only one second to turn your phone on :P
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] samnas2:
It used to happen to me with HD7, but it was rare.

I bought a pouch and now everything is fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cina:
I bought a leather case and I experienced this while phone was put in case facing my stomach. I simply swapped it and now it is facing outwards and it never switched off again.

Most simple ideas make things work: try to put your phone into your pocket in another position. (sw ehh?) If it works, please donate me a beer for "developing" this one :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] tanders04:
I'd agree with the above poster.

I sometimes get random button presses in my pockets, and I just turn the phone around.
[Folio 100 General] dj_jokke:
So, earlier today I was watching a movie on my Folio. Everything was fine all running as usual. I put it down on the table, plug the charger in and turn of the screen. Half an our later when I try to turn the screen on again its all black. I restart the Folio, same result. I remove the battery for a couple of minutes and start the device, no luck there either. Any one ever experienced a similar problem or maybe know a solution to it?

Greatful for every advice

/ J
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
Does the display ever turn on??? I mean, if you cannot even see the Toshiba logo I don't think that your problem is software related?

You might want to open your folio and check if the hardware connector of the LCD panel is fitted correctly in its socket on the mainboard. I inadvertently unplugged it one time, as I was playing with folio's guts :D Maybe, your connector just got loose in time.

However, if you are going to try and open your folio, the connector should be placed in the upper part of the device, just between the webcam and the hardware keys. Yes, you will need small hands and some practice :D
[Folio 100 General] dj_jokke:
I can feel the device starting since it's vibrating at start-up, 'only' problem is the screen is completely black. So it's not impossible that the screen connector is loose, I just don't see how it could have happend since I never have opened it myself :O

Well, I think I'm going to crack it open tomorrow and see what I can find :D
[Folio 100 General] dj_jokke:
Right now I'm actually quite proud of myself cuse I managed to fix my Folio :D opened it up and saw that the screen connector was loose, so I put it back in place and now it works like a charm!

@^Sbk79^

The connector was located in the bottom left corner of the device, not upper part ;)
[Folio 100 General] ^Sbk79^:
Well, it seems that I might have rotated my folio at that time :D. Indeed, the hint was ALMOST good, even if in a counter-clockwise style! xD
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Not to sure if anyone has heard of Hexxeh before but here is a short wiki descript regarding Chromium OS builds: "By May 2010, compiled versions of the work-in-progress source code had been downloaded from the Internet more than a million times. The most popular version was created by Liam McLoughlin, a 17-year-old college student in Manchester, England, posting under the name "Hexxeh". McLoughlin's builds boot from a USB memory stick and included features that Google engineers had not yet implemented, such as support for the Java programming language"

Anyhow several Google videos show that he has successfully managed to boot one of his Chromium OS builds called "Flow" on a tablet. And was wondering if anyone has thought about doing this.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadness:
I've used Flow on a laptop. Not very useful on a tablet - it's basically just a back end for a web browser, with no (well, minimal) apps. Useful for giving to the kids to play web games without breaking your system. However, using the Android OS built for tablets you get access to all the apps.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] syph0r:
I didn't think this would be a development thread so i'm starting it here. This is just some of the random issues I'm having.. and was wondering if anyone else was having these or any other issues.

The unknown notification on lockscreen is apparently for other people too.. and i've noticed it's dealing with the stock messaging app. Has anyone figured out how to turn off the counter on the stock launcher for the stock messaging app if you're using a different app like Handcent?

Random lockups. My phone will not come out of sleep.. or i won't be able to unlock it. nothing will be on the screen and i have to pull the battery in order to do anything.

random FC of an app.. or just not even notified of the FC just get this vibrate then double vibrate and everything crashes back to the home screen. First did it when i started setting up the device. and done it a few times since. I've also had one time that was continuous of "vibrate...double vibrate" over and over and over and over.. you get the picture.. and i had to pull the battery.

Is anyone else having these issues or anything similar? Or should I run back to the store and exchange this sucker?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ZachLL88:
No problems here at the moment, had it about a week and havent seen any of the problems you are mentioning. But this is just for me.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Randy Power:
I get this hard crash (vibrate... double vibrate... soft reboot) at random times. It seems to be when I'm running several apps at once. For example, driving to work,I use (Google) Navigation and Doggcatcher for playing podcasts, while GPS and Bluetooth are both enabled.

These apps have been rock solid for me with the 5 other Android phones I've had. Besides, the crashes happen with other combinations of apps. Come to think of it, audio playback is usually (always?) involved, be it with Xiia or the stupid built-in music app.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] syph0r:
that's what i've been noticing. but sometimes i'm not even running many apps. i haven't put much on the phone since i've been having these issues, but these apps work perfectly even on my G1. i think i'm just having odd issues with my phone pretty sure its getting exchanged on monday.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Ace42:
I hav the odd vibrating too...Not sure if I should return the phone or not.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] syph0r:
i think the "odd vibrating" where its a single vibration.. then 2 quick vibrations.. is a sign of an FC.. not 100% sure.. but thats what i see going on when it happens to me. I've also noticed when i'm outside and thinks i'm selecting things or moving the trackball thing. always to the right.. i think my phone is faulty..

Dang ok, well I may have to unroot mine if possible, and take it back, haha. So I'll be watching for a response to your question in the other thread.

Edit: I fixed my notifications..... somehow my notification volume had been turned all the way down, so I wasn't getting any sounds for texts, emails, etc. Not sure how it got turned down, but sometimes I guess settings can get jarred by various things we do to our phones.

Hi everyone

I just spent more than 2 hours to search about how to unsimlock my htc hero. Just found useless stuff about buying code or making "goldcards".

I want to unsimlock it PERMANENTLY and without buying a f**cking 15 or 17 or 20 or 37$ unlock code :D

I want it to be exactly like a normal phone.

So here's my question : just is that possible? and if so, how?

Did help though cos I found a post of 3G.co.uk which I referred to in my letter to them.

Worked for me, may work for you....
