You give few details... How did you root, what rom are you on, and what app was it? Are you sure you ever were rooted, or that you still aren't?

This is why requiring 10 posts to post in development areas is a bad idea. I have a legit question, but can’t post it until I meet my post quota.
[Thunderbolt General] mAlfunkti0n:
You can always hop on IRC to ask your question too. Not to mention you probably haven't made a good search yet, most questions have already been answered.

Also, this entire thread is mind numbingly stupid. People like this who can't provide even a shred of information should be banned from the first post.

Does anyone know how to move the cursor when using the keyboard, needing to add/delete a characters in the middle of a msg or text and repeated stabbing on my screen to get it in the right place is extremely frustrating:) anyone know a better way

btw langers, a little off topic but... have u tried 2degrees free facebook "zero" service??? when i try i get an error saying its not available from my carrier?? Just wondering whether its cos i'm not using my original stock rom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] langers1972:
Facebook 0 works for me so you could be right
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
k thanks for that
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xxsacra:
Hey guys,

The reason you cant get onto FB 0 service is because you are using the APN internet.

This does not require a proxy and therefore o.facebook cant parse your mobile number to confirm you are indeed with 2degrees.

Try editing you APN and throwing 118.148.001.118 in the proxy and 8080 in the port.

If that doesn't work activate your WAP profile (it'll be called '2degrees') and see if that works.

If youre still having trouble give 2deg a call on 0800 022 022 and they'll sort you.

hope this helps :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] langers1972:

Aren't we talking keyboard cursor? :P

I have been seeking for an app to have the little arrow text selector in our vanilla froyo, I mean that selector in gingerbread and HTC and Samsung machines.

Anyone know if there's such an app?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
ahhmmm yeh...i did say it was a little off topic, lol...finding other kiwis on here was just too good of an opportunity to miss...sorry bout that....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] simplistian:
No it's not a complaint :P

Just too eager for a solution of the keyboard cursor mover :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
Well the good news is, after hours of searching finally found a solution of sorts...the bad news is, it ain't free $3.75. BUT there is a free trial version, with nag screen. I'm using it now and have only been nagged once.

The cursor can be moved via arrow keys which are enabled thru the extensive settings menu.

The arrow keys up, down, left, right sit at the bottom of the keyboard and make editing easy peasy. As u can imagine it does take up a fair bit of yr screen and the keys are slightly smaller but I think there is a calibration setting 4 that.

What I do like is upper case numbers and symbols, so no need to change screens.

Prediction works really, really well 2.

A heap of languages are also supported.

All in all not a bad little k/b, so head 2 the market an check it out. Smart Keyboard Trial.

Oh, btw swype also has arrow keys 4 cursor control if that spins ye wheels!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pezzku:
Smart Keyboard Pro has arrow keys and it can be configured to use the volume buttons to move the cursor.

e. lol a minute late :P

This is what we want, guys:

padkite

Please google, as I'm not allowed to post links, new user and all. For use in browsers only, at this stage, and in development, so not yet in the marketplace.

Please post your experiences!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] simplistian:
padkite is cool but it only works on browers.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ashiningexample:
Correct, at this stage only usable within browsers, but my understanding is that the company responsible for developing padkite are looking to expand it so it works in all facets of Android, including text messages as requested by the OP. If everyone embraces it at this early stage then development is sure to go much faster, resulting in a win for everyone!

I can see this becoming a core feature of Android by the end of the year, if and only if people get behind it. So get on board, people - this is not something we want to miss out on!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Ok so my problem is regarding playing some movies I recently encoded. Movie info is as such:

h.264 MP4

2.8gb size

2000 kps Bitrate

800x480 resolution

29.75 Fps

128 kps audio

The movies I have tried are King Kong and Inception, now these movies have both played fine using WP7 but when I try to load them in Android they fail to play.

Is there a file size limit to what Android can handle processing? Shorter movies (FF7 Advent Children for example) will play just fine when the file size is about 1.5-1.8gb.

I tried the stock video player along with several free options from the market and same story every time.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me

Currently Rom I'm using is in my signature
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] psyCORe:
2.8gb for movie files is too bigger to handled by android sd cache, have u try sd card booster ?

anyway what the encoder program u have used ? a 2.8gb with WVGA resolution kinda waste

Im suggesting 'auto gk ' for best compression
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
I believe the problem is the SD card file system.

Fat32 cannot support files bigger than 2048MB = 2GB
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Robson:
sorry to throw this into further confusion but i just finished watching sorcerer's apprentice and the mp4 file size is 2.6gb. i alternate between using rockplayer and vital player on my hd2. no problems and the skip / locate works well. example, i wasn't able to finish it on the train yesterday morning. in the afternoon, boarded the train and rockplayer picked it up from the last scene i left it. although....i DID run into an mkv 300mb file which was rather slow and the skip/locate froze up. which is really strange because i've watched other mkv files with no problems. could be the file itself regardless if it's mp4, mkv, avi, etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
Fat32 is 4gb limit if I remember right from my xbox360 days, if it was 2gb the file wouldn't be on a fat32 drive in the first place, or copy successfully onto a fat32 SD card from say a ntfs drive

[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I know theres a poll on issues etc and rebooting is mentioned, but I feel it was too early to poll and people could have voted and had a reboot after...

So question is..... has your phone rebooted? Or just fine?

Also if you could mention how long you had it that would be great....

I just want to know exactly who is having reboots and who hasn't..

LOTS of reboots

I have had about 20 in two weeks. I am CURRENTLY getting CONTINUOUS reboots.

It had the LG logo and thinking bar, underneath it said "System checking". Now it has rebooted non-stop (6 times so far as I'm typing).

New phone should arrive on my doorstep within the next hour or so... fingers crossed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donbeth:

If your phone is rebooting constantly don't even waste your time return it for a new unit. The att galaxy s had the same prob and everyone waited for a fix only to find out it was hardware related....if your in the 14 day window don't even waste your time and end up with a refurb
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oldbustedjorn:
I bought my g2x a day after launch. For a few days, I didn't experience any reboots. After that they starting happening but not too often. Eventually (by yesterday), it was happening more often. Somewhere in that time frame I did a factory reset to try to improve battery life.

I called tmobile support yesterday and they made do another factory reset and not install any apps. It has been 16 hours without a reboot but that doesn't prove anything, really. First, it doesn't necessarily happen every day. Second, without any non-default apps installed, it may not be taxing the device enough. Third, even if it is an app's fault, it may not be directly the apps fault. Am I supposed to run no apps if that turns out to be the problem?

They will be calling back at three and I'm going to try to push them for a replacement. I'm also having reception issues and the battery could certainly last longer.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
I am on my 5th G2X... :D with a build date of 4/3/2011 and I have not had a reboot as of yet with GPS turned on. This has also been the best phone out of all those 5, I have a week left and if I experience problems I will be taking it back. As somoene said dont waste your time your better off returning it then waiting for a fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oldbustedjorn:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
I just took it to the store, told them the problems I was having mentioned the reboots, screen bleed, and data connection issues. Told them I was within the 14days and that Customer Care told me to come to the store and try and get a working phone. I wouldnt talk about the reboots as it may not happen in store if you have screen bleed its easier that way cause you can prove that.

Did you buy it in store, online or over the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
I just got my first random reboot after a week of owning it... how do you check build date on these phones?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
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.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gohawks1:
I've had a at least 2 reboots over the last week that I know of. Once last week while I was using the phone it just locked up and rebooted a few seconds later. Then this morning shortly after 6:30 I was woken up by the startup sound. 6:30am is the time that I have SuperPower app set to wake from sleep mode. This turns on my data connection, WiFi, and Bluetooth.

Guess I'll need to keep a close eye on these going forward.

I bought it in the store, but it has been exactly 2 weeks and I don't know if I can get there today. I don't have screen bleed (or haven't noticed it), but I feel the reception and battery life are poor as well.

I tried to tell the support person this but it didn't seem to make a difference. I will definitely press the issue when she calls back.

I get random Reboots, and still a shutdown every now and then.

So I had to switch back to my iPad's Alarm app for Reliability just to wake up in the morning.. b/c I can't trust this phone to wake me up..

Oh and i'm running the kang rom. It runs great, ADW is pretty slow and laggy.. so I took it off and replaced it with Launcher pro, but i have had random issues here and there.

Bought my 1st G2X phone 5/4/11 and it rebooted a few times and lock up! Didnt do anything but download my normal apps, I returned it next day and got another one! Only 2 reboots so far! Anyone know when the gingerbread update is coming? Where would I find it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Another point...... Anyone who has purchased this phone in the last 30 days (hint: all of us) and got a defective phone and STILL has that said defective phone, you deserve it.

It is utterly rediculious that so many people have kept their origional phone when they are having issues.

What's more people who are on their 5th one they say. I call b.s. The problem ain't the phone. You know what I'm saying.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] brianbrain:
Not only am I getting reboots, but the phone literally is locking up on a repeated basis (requiring a battery pull).

It seems enabling Wi-Fi is the root cause. I've disabled it and the phone hasn't locked up or frozen yet. Additionally, it seems the phone may not be enjoying my 32Gb Sandisk card..takes FOREVER to media search and the phone has had issues ever since I started using it (worked great on my old mytouch4g, samsung epic 4g, and droid 2..)

My phone also has bad backlight bleed from the top left and right corners, as well as a yellowish tint at the bottom of the screen...Manufacturing date is April 4th according to the box...

Already called AmazonWireless and they're overnighting a replacement. Good service from them at least. Wonder how many it will take to find a good one?

Unfortunately, bugs aside, I freking love this phone when it works..haha. Feels GREAT in the hand, games are incredible, screen (when it isn't showing bleed or yellow) looks fantastic..it's a great device..just needs to work! Don't think I'll be going the Sensation route, unless I completely fail at finding a working replacement, that is..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oldbustedjorn:
What am I doing wrong that you all get phones replaced so easily? I called t-mobile and they forced me to run the phone after a factory reset and without any apps installed in order to prove that it isn't an app.

I'm going to try returning it to the store today, but I've been told that they won't be able to help me since all returns are supposedly done through customer care on the phone.

If I call them back, they are going to point to my 36 hours of uptime and not want to replace my phone. But, I've done factory resets and didn't get the reboots until several days later. I don't know why it worked that way, but why do I have to prove it? Sounds like everyone else here just called or walked in and they just replaced it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
I was originally getting the reboot every often. It was doing 4-5 times a day after the 5th day I got the phone. Ever since I uninstalled some 3rd party apps (yahoo messenger, weather channel, etc), changed my setting in fancy widget (chose to use google weather instead of weatherbug), and unchecked use GPS, the problem has been gone since. Now I'm reaching 60+ hours of up time. I tried to see if the reboot will start again if I checked the GPS location in setting last night, it did not restart. So, I believe it could have be an issue with 3rd party GPS application caused the reboot issue. I suggest everyone check the apps to see if the apps actually uses the GPS function. BTW, uncheck GPS location will improve the battery a lot. I got average of 13+ hours per charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oldbustedjorn:
I almost never use GPS. I've turned it on maybe 2x since I got the phone and didn't seem to cause anything directly. In addition, after going factory reset and trying to use the phone (without installing 3rd party apps), I left GPS on and it didn't reset.

So, it's been 36 hours and I'm starting to install the apps I used to have to see if it reboots. When it does, I will start uninstalling them in the reverse order until I see if something was causing it. Still doesn't mean there isn't something wrong with the phone, though.
