[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kymira:
There was another thread which asked about using a t7373 digitizer with a Sprint / Verizon CDMA Version XV6875. The answer was NO.

But just wanted to clarify and confirm that a t7373 digitizer would NOT fit a Telus t7379 TP2 ?

Im kinda having trouble finding one specifically for my Telus (t7379) TP2.

Are all TP2 cdma versions alike?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdub1987:
is there any way at all to disable the screen from dimming on backgrounds with too much white? i think its ridiculous that they built this functionality into the phone without an option to turn it off, is there anyway to tweak the registry? i got the phone because of the screen but if i cant enjoy bright backgrounds n what not theres not much point
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eried:
There is a option for that. "Screen brightness", switch from Auto to Low/Med/High
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdub1987:
no thats not the issue, i have it on high with auto off, yet it still dims when theres too many white pixels on the screen, apparently its built into the samsung driver for the screen, really considering returning it due to this
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morphinspectrum:
I immediately noticed this effect when testing an Omnia 7 in a mobile phone shop here in Switzerland and I found that quite annoying.

Try moving from page to page in the Office app. You'll notice a decrease in screen brightness when more white pixels are shown. At least that seems to be how the built-in algorithm works.

I prefer the 4.3" screen of the HTC HD7.

make a folder called data, and a folder called local inside that. put you bootanimation.zip inside the local folder. then close everything. rightclick on the media folder and click add to archive, assuming you have winzip. then on the popup screen name it [whateveryouwant].zip and change the compression method to store and click done. now put that on the root of your sd card and flash it using cwm

Does using Google voice for calls on my G2X use phone minutes in my plan?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
Yeah. You are still calling out. Just for a direct connection. There is a way to set it up with a px box so that it is a sip call using only data, but that involves much more than google voice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icase81:
Yes. Think of Google Voice as a FORWARDING service, not a VOIP service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icase81:
Correct, but not in Froyo. I had it setup and working properly in 2.3.3 on my Nexus S. By default it was WiFi only, but there were other kernels and ROMS that allowed SIP over 3G.

[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
BUMP! Anyone? would love to see this on my tab!
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
It's part of the modded Android system (part of Touchwizz), so it would be very difficult to port. It's not an 'extract and copy' affair. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
:( oh... i thought it was just an apk neede :/ will it be posssble for a dev to clone it ? :D
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
It's possible to clone anything at all into AOSP/CM, but would obviously need someone to code it.

I might be wrong though, and there is some way to extract just the relevant piece of TW4 and integrate it into TW3 on the Tab somehow. As far as I can tell though, it's part of the core, and I don't think you can easily transfer that? Or at least if you could, the guys porting Sense to the SGS1 would be having an easier time! :D

My droid 2 global sometimes does this, particularly if it lost signal at some point and then didn't realize it had regained it because it was idle. Overall I'd say it's either a glitch in how the phone displays signal, or maybe due to the 3g 4g switching issues and is just some other little thing. Do you get txts when the screen is off?

[Thunderbolt General] atwnsw:
I have the TB and have used it for 1 week. My wife had one and exchanged it for an Iphone. I am on the fence and have to make my final decision in the next 72 hours (need to go on a trip for sick mother-in-law up to a week). So have to make final decision by Saturday/Sunday.

I love the phone except for the battery life. In addition I love the fact that I could tether down the road with this phone.

I know that with the current factory setup, I will exchange it for an Iphone. My hope was that there would be an update by now from HTC/VZN but that isn't happening. So, I am willing to hire somebody (I realize $50 isn't much for many) but maybe an experienced hacker/programmer can help me.

I would like to:

1) Backup the existing software/Rom/RUU//radio/Kernel/???? [no idea what is the correct terminology]

2) Update the phone to an unrooted version. Test it for a day and see if the battery life is better than the 4-6 hours I am getting now with minimum apps (no wifi & no bluetooth).

3) Be able to revert it back to factory and exchange for iphone if unhappy during test period.

Is this possible? If so, anybody up for the challenge?

If so, please email me at atwnsw at gmail dot com

Am I dreaming?

Thanks in advance for your advice, help and consideration.

Anthony
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Use the $50 and get the extended battery. Problem solved. Or just turn off 4G when you're not using it. The ROMs aren't going to increase your battery life by a crazy amount.

Just read the tutorials on here to root. I'd go with Das BAMF 1.5 for the ROM. It's not that difficult to do yourself. No need to pay someone.

If I knew you and found out that you went from a Thunderbolt to an iPhone 4, I would punch you in the face.
[Thunderbolt General] atwnsw:
I have read that people are running with factory battery for 12+ hours on 4G.

Unfortunately I don't have enough time to learn how to do this on my own. If my mother-in-law didn't get ill, I would have until next Friday to make the final decision. However I have to leave this weekend and will likely not return until after the 14 day trial period.

Hence my reason for asking somebody to verbally walk me through it with a little financial incentive.

I am good with windows computers but don't know S&it about cell phones.....
[Thunderbolt General] drumz0rz:
The iPhone 4 is never the right choice. Especially since the iPhone 5 will likely be out in a little over a month.
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
Correction: anything by Apple is never the right choice. :p

To the OP... there's plenty of videos on YouTube that will walk you through rooting the Thunderbolt. You really don't need a lot of knowledge of phones to root or flash them. You just need to follow the tutorials step by step and if you have any problems then we're here to solve them. Rooting and flashing a new ROM on the TB shouldn't take you more than 30-45 minutes.
[Thunderbolt General] Big Dawg 23:
The only way to restore it back to stock is the original rom. In order to use recovery you need Root and they Clockwork Recovery

No sure how people get 12+ hours on 4G. I suppose no phone calls and nothing really syncing might be possible. however, turn on exchange and battery goes down.

It has been reported that iPhone 5 won't be out until the Fall and also be a small change over the iPhone 4. I just went back to the iPhone 4 after getting tired of the slow data. The Atrix is nice but lack of Unlock bootloader sucks. I wanted the Inspire to root and rom but Battery was a deal breaker.

Everything comes down to what you want in a phone. If you are looking for battery life Android phones are not for you unless you buy an extended battery. I use Exchange on two accounts so that coupled with calls, text messages, music streaming and surfing it goes away quick.
[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
I can help you with everything for free if you really need help. No matter what you do, the stock battery wont last as long as the iphone. The extended battery really is your best bet. Mine has made the phone much better but bulkier. I think its a safe bet to assume you only need 4g while watching a video or downloading something and it does not need to be on all day. If you turn it off, your battery will last WAY longer.

Sent from my Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
I'd help you for free too if you need.

But just so you know pre root I got about 20 hours of up time and of that 20 hours 3.5 to 4 hours was actual use time; meaning that I was either taking on the phone or playing a game, internet, texting, etc...

It sounds like you have a rogue process that is eating battery. Have you done the blockbuster fix? Is your phone constantly syncing?

Post root I've only added 30-45 minutes to my "use" time.

Ill be free for the evening in 1.5 hours.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
You can root the phone and flash it to whatever you want in about 30 minutes. :) Very easy to do; and the tutorial has been redone, too, to make it more clear. Just follow the easy-to-read instructions and you'll be there in no time!
[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
+1

Having someone walk you through step by step is going to take you longer than just reading a tutorial.
[Thunderbolt General] Jiv3turk3y89:
Spend the $50 on a extended battery, and do the root yourself. It takes a maximum of an hour. The longest part is downloading the AndroidSDK ADB stuff. But really it isn't hard just follow the tutorial thats in the development section. If you don't think that the root is helping with battery (Root doesn't help, turning off mobile network/gps/WiFi really helps) and choosing a ROM is basically personal preference over how you like the UI looks and feel. On stock the blockbuster app will kill your battery.

"Update: Thanks to our reader David, we've now figured out the root of this little problemo. Turns out the browser required us to tick an "enable plugins" box to get Flash running.

Frame rates have been consistently high across multiple websites and videos, which is in keeping with the rest of the Galaxy S II's performance."

[Galaxy S II General] kampf:
If this phone had a version of TouchWiz that removed the redundant hub features, and a few other little issues Vlad found, it might have been as close to a 10 as they've seen. They've mentioned on the podcast that there might never be a 10/10, but the SGS2 is nearly there.

Thanks, but, is this something that overrides the default keyboard adding the swype function or is it a new one?
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
No it won't override, merely give you an alternate keyboard option. Its not obvious how to turn it on though so once installed, do the following;

In settings, go to 'languages & keyboard' and put a tick in the 'Swype' box.

Then in any text entry box, do a long press, and select 'Input Method' and choose Swype.

Nice Swype tip: It has a nice (hidden) cursor keyboard. Access it by Swyping from the bottom-left menu button, to the button to the right of it.
