[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
You should never use any other cable than the one provided with your Thunderbolt. On the site it may say that it "Works" with the Thunderbolt but that doesn't mean you are going to get the performance you need out of it. I have had that problem plenty of times with older cables and sadly it keeps me buying the slightly overpriced cables from Verizon so I know that I get what I need.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
It sounds like a defective cable. Check to see how it's charging (AC or USB). If it says USB when connected to the HTC charger, the cable is bad.

I use micro-USB cables I got from Monoprice, no problems.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeaselWeaz:
It's not defective, it's just not designed for charging. OP, always make sure it says it is a charger cable, not a data cable, when you buy one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
BS. You have no clue what you're talking about. The TB follows the USB charging specification.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
The thing about USB (Universal serial bus) cables is that they are UNIVERSAL. It doesn't matter where you get them from, what they say, or what they are branded. They have to meet certain specs (including materials and current capacity) in order to get the USB label.

If you're having a problem, I am 99% sure the cable is not the issue.

Try out monoprice.com. I've used them for years. You can get 3 wall chargers, 5 USB cables and 2 car chargers (all 1A) for like $25, shipped.

Edit: QFT
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roppetty:
yeah, i'm with you, that's why i posed to see if there was something i'm missing and didn't know about. i'm a computer engineer so i know a cable is a cable is a cable, which is why i was like wtf when these didn't work the same.

thanks all, at least i know i didn't miss something and these should work the same.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qman66:
ive had this problem on every phone. takes forever to charge through usb.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mAlfunkti0n:
A USB cable is a USB cable is a USB cable is a USB cable.

If you are doing seat of your pants checks on charging, etc, they are never going to be accurate. CPU usage, network usage, etc while the phone is charging will affect how quickly it does charge. The stock charger provides 1000mA to charge the device, if you are using it, or another app is doing something (downloading data, using cpu, etc) it will not charge as quickly because power is being drained as it is being charged.

There is too much that would cause a slower charge state that you can't compensate for by a seat of the pants judgement on charging.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriskader:
Its all about the mA.

No, thats not a storm. Its just my Thunderbolt layin down this post.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyinonice4:
I have the same issue. I have tried four different usb cables with the oem charger and only two charge normally, the oem and one that I had with an old phone that I put a mini to micro adapter on to fit. The other two, one actually micro one mini to micro adapted, charge extremely slow. Yes a cable is a cable, but given I use the oem charger, the only differing things are the cables.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
For what it's worth, I hate to burst your bubbles but not all USB cables are equal. And, in fact, not all phones are optimized for USB cables. Just because a cable looks like a USB cable and works as a USB cable doesn't mean that it is ONLY a USB cable. There are quite a few devices out there that can be charged (albeit slowly) with a USB cable but can be charged quickly with a cable that you only think is a USB cable. Take the Nook Color, for instance. The cable that it comes with looks like a USB cable on all accounts, but it's not. I forget which (both are techniques currently used) but either it has extra pins or has a data pin repurposed to provide additional power so it can charge faster. There are quite a few devices out there that are like this, and it seems like the number of these devices just keep growing and growing.

Now these "non-USB" devices still support USB standards, and can be charged via USB standard cables. However, they are optimized for non-USB standards and charge faster with these non-USB cables.

I'm honestly not sure if our Thunderbolts are such a device or not, and if the cables that they come with are such cables. They very well could be, and what the OP claims goes along with that theory. But honestly, I simply do not know.

EDIT:

Oh, and one more example. Go take a look at the custom "USB" cables that Team Blackhat had made that can power Motorola devices in CWM without a battery in the device. This is yet another example of where a USB cable isn't a USB cable.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
Having the data pins connected to 5v sources is part of the charger itself; it has nothing to do with the cable.

Every USB cable has 4 pins: two 5v+, a gnd and a 5v- if the second + and - aren't connected to a source in the charger, you will only get a 0.5A charge, and it will go slow. If the charger DOES have them connected, you get the full 1A, and a much faster charge.

If the charger or cable is anything different then it is not USB. End of story. I know some phones have extra pins in the USB location for video out, for example, but those don't interfere with the standard USB pins.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
Wrong, kinda. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nook_Color#USB_port

Now I realize that calling this a "USB Cable" might be stretching the definition of "USB Cable" (hence the "wrong, kinda" comment) but more than likely, most people have no clue that one cable is different than another, so the end result is that, for all practical purposes, we DO have different types of USB cables.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
Thanks Mike S (Also my initials, lol) That's what I get for posting after staying up a bit too late. :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roppetty:
well i just ordered two micro usb cables from monoprice. we'll see if those fare any better.

the only thing i can guess is the power wires are a small gauge in the cables i bought from amazon. monoprice has two different kinds, some use 28awg for both data/power and then they have some that have 24awg for power and 28awg for data. i'm hoping that getting the bigger wire for the power will solve the issue.

also, i've been using juiceplotter and you can visibly see the slope of the charge change when switching just between these cables i bought vs the stock one when using the HTC charger so i'm pretty certain it's the cable.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
Battery Monitor Widget will do that, and more, including telling you whether it's charging AC or USB.

You can also check the charging type from Home Settings/About Phone/Battery/Battery Status.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dspuk:
Hi all,

Have recently installed without issues WM7 on my HD2. Blows away the 6.5 junk that was on before.

I am getting memory issues though. I installed with the 2gb card that came with it - at first I could not even use to just send a text message so I swapped for another 2gb I had lying around and general use is now OK.

When trying to install any apps though from marketplace (I got code from MS) I hit memory issues straight away. I don't know how much of the 2gb is used for the build but I would have assumed the 2gb was fine.

Do I need a bigger card, is there a formatting I should do to the existing card, will all my settings be reset if I change cards?

Thanks all.

DP
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
WP7 Formats the SDCard at the very first Boot (turn on) so if you just swapped the SDCard without resetting (Settings>About>Reset Phone) the phone to defaults then it isn't formatted properly and isn't recognized

And if you did then check in the About Screen to see how much space you have left
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
indeed, many many SD cards have a nasty habbit of not working, so if you do a reset with the SD card in and WP still doesnt see more than 150~MB of free space then the card is a dud (for WP) although some folk have suggested limited success with formatting it with a digital camera before hand.

[Off-topic] mapin0518:
In addition to G2x General, there should be a G2x complaints forum. And a mod could just move all the whining into there so that truly good information remains visible in the General forum.

For example, someone posted "How to do a Full Wipe" thread in the development section, and someone suggested that was the wrong section and it should go into General. This is very true, however a useful thread like that will get buried among the million whining threads in General and never be seen.

Hey guys,

I set up my gmail on the samsung client via social hub. However, in settings I don't see an option for PUSH, I just see options for email check frequency. How do I go about setting up push mail?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] padlad:
Use the GMail application on the Galaxy, once you set that up your GMail account will appear in the Social Hub app.
[Galaxy S II General] shabs52:
I did.

This is what I did when I got phone on Friday.

1) Set up gmail through gmail app.

2) Add gmail to social hub (i think it was done automatically) which gave option for push

3) Deleted gmail from social hub (gmail app unaffected)

4) Readded gmail through social hub and now... no push option.

Well for now I just have social hub checking for email every 5 min.

[Optimus 7 General] uholbrx:
I am living within US using Tmobile on my LG Optimus 7 e900. My understanding is tmobile only uses Band IV (1700/2100) within the US - but this phone does not have the 1700 frequiency option.

Do you know if the frequency is availble in the hardward (just not displayed)?

Do you know if there is a way to flash the ROM or enable within the registry?

Not sure I can live with roaming EDGE speed - any help is much appreciated.
[Optimus 7 General] yipcanjo:
It's not an unlock band issue -- this phone simply does not support the T-Mobile 3G bands.

Best bet? Wait until T-Mo and AT&T merge... 'cause this phone *CAN* use the 3G bands on AT&T :)
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Both the LG Optimus 7 E900 and E900h support quad 3G bands 850, 900, 1900, 2100. The modem on-board, as well as the antenna configuration simply does not support the AWS 1700 band that T-Mobile uses. So, unfortunately, until the merger goes through, you will be stuck with 2G/EDGE...
[Epic 4G General] wookiebush:
I have a client with an Epic 4g. A few months ago I helped her root and flash Syndicate ROM. The primary reason we did this was because the Epic was still on 2.1 and she depends heavily on email and calendar sync.

She has been mostly happy with this upgrade until she started getting FCs in her email app recently.

Question: Since I do not own an Epic and am not really up to date on the scene, what is a good stable ROM you would suggest for a non-techie user? She needs rock solid exchange support and wired/wireless tether. Looks like CM7 is getting close, but isn't ready yet. I'n leaning towards the latest version of SyndicateROM ATM.

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
SRF is 100% stable. To fix her Email FCs, just clear data for the app (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Email > Clear Data). If either of you are in the habit of pulling your battery randomly, simply enable journaling by taking a backup in CWM and restoring it.
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
The latest srf is stable, you may have flashed srf when it was eb13, or ec05 just came out, I can't remember.. and they had a window of like 2 days where the email app FCed.. either way flash he new one and it'll fix that...
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I flashed the newest version of Syndicate (v1.1.0) and then flashed Genocide kernel (v1.0) and all is stable, no FCs for me.
[Epic 4G General] wookiebush:
Awesome, thats good to hear. I'll get her to clear data and then I'll flash the latest during our appointment tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick response!

Recently i've been working on a new theme with HQ graphics and some inspiration of miui and ios for my galaxy s and the

theme looks like this:

DOWNLOAD the PSD files here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070889&page=6

See the 53 post!!!

UPDATE: 10/5/2011

New graphical parts,

Redesigned the lockscreen,

Added file explorer

Fix minor glitches on music player

New camera design!

New USB storage

New messages

... and soon a new Launcher Concept will come! ;)

Actually this is only a mockup and as i'm don't know how to make it work, if anyone

wants to help me with this theme it would be nice! :)

I would like to design this theme based on android menus etc. but with way better graphics.

Also of course i'll design all the graphical parts for the theme and i'm going to make it very professional!

So tell me what do you think? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] saphirrot:
uiiiiiiiiiiiiii, this locks awesome mate. but it will be cool if you can add other colors like blue green etc ... i dont like the orange

the brush looks cool too

Greaaaaaaaaat! Amazing theme! I will use it once it's done.

And I would like to ask the first question for him as someone who don't know how to theme: where to start?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] giannisgx89:
Hey thanks guys i'm glad that you like it :)

As "tt0204" said for someone like me who don't know how to theme from where should i start?

Also i know that some parts are not images and they can be modified via .xml file but lets first start with the basics :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
start on jvh as thats whats just up and coming for 2.3.3

or

you can start on the stable and widely used 2.2.1 rom bases

plenty of guides ard
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
your on right track already grab a rom kitchen rom wipe and non wipe of ur preferred base.

you have two folders to work with ( lets say 2.2.1 roms ) - open the zip:

navigate to system/framework/drawable-hdpi-v4 or drawable-hdpi

for frameworks and twframeworks

thats were you start with the images you will gradually get to know what is what after about 100 flashes :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ock:
Are you familiar with apktool? Once you are comfortable with decompiling and compiling apks, it's just a matter of replacing pngs and (perhaps) editing some xml files. Do check out some info on 9 patch files as they may cause problems during the compilation process.

Good luck and looking forward to this theme! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] giannisgx89:
Thank you :)

I'll start right away!

Also i would like to ask if my current mockup is possible to implement into a real rom (every part of it) ?
