[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethantarheels123:
I just got an Atrix!!! and might I say that it is impressive especially coming from an iPhone 3gs. Anyways, I'm thinking about installing Gingerblur, but I have a few questions at hand. Is a root required to install Gingerblur? My guess is that it is, but I just want to make sure. Also, if I root 1.83 with gingerbreak will it immediately be compatible with Gingerblur? In other words, is Gingerblur compatible with 1.83, or do I need to flash to earlier 1.57 or earlier? Sorry for all these questions. Coming from iOS, I am a complete newbie at android, but I seem to like it so far :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
Yea, he kind of already answers all of your questions...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
To actually answer your questions:

1. You must be rooted to install these "ROMs" like Gingerblur and such.

2. GingerBlur IS currently compatible with 1.8.3, which can be rooted with Gingerbreak.

3. After rooting, enable sideloading (I used GladEnable) and then install Tenfar's Recovery. (All these things can be found if you browse the dev forum)

4. Maybe make a backup of your phone as is while in Tenfar's. Then you use that to flash the Gingerblur ROM.

This is just a basic outline of what you do...make SURE you read directions for ALLLLLLL of these things thoroughly before you do anything.

Hi I am a NOOB!

I am unable to post in the Gingerblur Forum as I'm a NOOB lol!

I have a question....

Can Orange UK Atrix Owners install Gingerblur?

There is a Big warning in the Gingerblur Thread warning Bell Atrix Owners not to download but i don't see anything about Orange UK Owners?

I have tried to search but can't find anything specific.

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
Is there any way in LP+ or any other launcher to set where I want icons in portrait and have it remember those locations, and then set where I want those icons in landscape. That way when I rotate it my icons and widgets don't look retarded and overlap.

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
Set them in portrait, switch to landscape and rearrange them. It should save their positions in each orientation independently.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
Does this apply to widgets too? I moved the widget in portrait and it changes where it is in landscape and vice versa.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Derrtydozen:
Negative, does not work on Launcher Pro Plus. Setting the icon and widgets in landscape will change in portrait.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoseal:
So first a little background. I woke up in the middle of the night with an EXTREMELY hot phone. Somehow it had gotten under my pillow while it was charging (I have no idea how this happened but it did). The phone had a battery symbol with a temp sign, obviously way overheated. Well I quickly pulled the phone from the charger and the battery out of the phone to cool it down. After a few minutes when it had cooled down, I tried to boot it back up. At first everything looked good, TW bootscreen came up, but then nothing else happened. The phone would act like it had fully booted (captive buttons would light up then screen would time out and go black) but the boot screen animation would still be going if I pressed the power button to light the screen back up.

At that point I thought it was all over. I put in my spare battery and got the same results. So I went into recovery and wiped to see if the phone could read from the memory. I didnt have any problems with the wipe or reflashing (running next-gen TW). The phone booted up just fine. I haven't seemed to have any problems since.

So I guess my question is do you think I am in the clear? I ran quadrant to stress the phone to see if anything happened and I am still seeing the same scores. I thought I might have problems with data but it seems to be running ok now.

Is there more stress tests I should run to make sure everything is ok? I have always been cautious with my electronics so I havent run into overheating them before so I am not sure what to look for in this area.

Thanks guys/gals you all are awesome, love the community :) Usually I don't post/create new threads because search is my friend and I dont like to crowd threads with my stupid answers lol. Thanks again all!

PSS sorry for the long post and confusing explination let me know if I need to re-explain anything. and sorry if this is the wrong section just let me know and/or move to correct location.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xan_Kriegor:
My phone got stuck in the boot animation with Trigger v3.2 once. It had nothing to do with overheating.

I remember just doing a reboot and it got stuck in the animation. The screen timed out as if it had booted normally. I rebooted again and it was fine, never had that problem since. It has only happened to me with Trigger v3.2, which is based on KB5 (I think Bionix NextGen is also based on KB5).

So it's probably a software related bug and not related to heat damage or anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoseal:
That's what I am hoping, guess the only way to really know is see if I start having problems over the next few weeks. Thanks for the replay :)
[EVO 4G General] olmo47:
I have a question: when I move from *Verizon* to sprint they said that the town I leave in, had 4G, (witch is true) but only on some parts of this town.

I did call Sprint and mention to them my dilemma, (bla,bla,bla) they took me of the contract (nice on their part) and they said that they might put more towers in the future (now, you know how that works) "future".

Near where I leave is a 'tower' that they rent out to other networks, so I did the foot work to see if 'perhaps' sprint would be interested to talk to this person or business, and put a '4G' tower this side of town.

My problem I have try to call Sprint, and I have being bounce from person to person, on their system and getting frustrated, of their ignorance of their 'tech' and other support they have.

Has any one *help* ware I can send a email or text to convey this info?

:confused:
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
Sprint and Verizon use different 4G networks. If your getting into a new contract with Sprint then you can get a WiMax 4G phone from them which will work.

Also if Operator isn't looking at that area already then there is little chance they will even consider anything. The fact is they have scouted potentional areas already and probably have gotten a offer from the person who owns said tower. Or that they already use the tower but wont put 4G in it for awhile. All places have a "future" for 4G. Also look at CLearwire's page and check out the coverage for 4G. Sprint uses Clear's services as they own a majority share in the company.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
No offense, but Clear probably isn't looking for this kind of input. I'm sure they have a plan and reach out to the owners of towers as they need to. Clear is barely staying afloat at this point, so their expansion has slowed down quite a bit.

You're not even talking to the right company. Sprint buys 4G wholesale from Clear, who owns and maintains the network. (Sprint does own 51% of Clear, but it's still a separate company.)
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
Waaaaait...

Sprint will let you out of contract if there's no 4G in your area?

I don't get 4G where I live, I'd have to drive ~20-25 miles north to see 4G. Does that mean I can get out of the contract? If so... could I re-signup and get a Nexus S for $200 (which, btw, is less than what I could easily sell my EVO for)?

Completely serious question... will this work?
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
I highly doubt that. If I understand correctly, he had just signed up with Sprint. He was told there was 4g in his area - and there is, but not close enough - so he called Sprint. They let him out of the contract most likely because it was a legitimate complaint and because the contract was fairly new. I highly doubt that you could call Sprint, complain about lack of 4g, and have them cancel your contract... especially if you've been with them for more than a month.

Dream on, though :)
[EVO 4G General] slipshft:
This is true; they know where the towers are, who the leasing representatives are, and if there is space available on said tower.

Nice footwork though!
[EVO 4G General] olmo47:
Sprint contract

Guys, just to let you know.

That, when I call Sprint (moving from Verizon) my intention wasn't to get out of the contract, i have explain to them, that 'originally' said that our town have 4G, they (tech support) at first that maybe could be the phone, so they reset the phone two times reinstall the os, and they came to the conclusion (at their own) that 4G wasn't in my part of town.

They ask me what would I like to do, I mention that I like the Sprint plan $69.99, even I can't get 4G close by, they said that to make me feel better they cancel my contract, I said OK!

They give me a cancelation number, as a proof.

I stay even with that minor problem, I can tether my laptop, 3G is OK not to bad, I like the email part unlimited text and call to any network.

I have a question for the fellow that said: will sell his EVO and get Nexus?

I love the EVO and what the Nexus have that the EVO can't do? Will still be with out 4G?

:confused:
[EVO 4G General] olmo47:
Thanks I have post it on the 'clear wire' site.

Never said never, and you never know, ware the conversation will end.

Thinking positive!
[EVO 4G General] olmo47:
4G

You right, I have send 'Clear' same post and the same result, *nothing* they said contact 'sprint' duh! They mention that they have a 4G 'hotspot' mobile device that I could use and is 4G?

It said that their map shows I have 4G! ..right..and that my phone is a 4G? here I keep my thoughts........

I need another direction to send that post to some one that cares, I will keep trying.

thanks for your input. :)

- read comic books (American superhero comics, Graphic Novels and Mangas)

- read the news (I love the USA today app!)

- watch movies and anime (mobo player is excellent. Surprised it plays .mkv)

The tablet is a convenient way to browse the web quickly w/o having to fire up my desktop PC. It's easy to watch movies/TV shows for a few minutes wherever I am.

At work I take my TF with me into meetings so I can follow presentations on my own screen instead of killing trees for printouts or relying on others to share their laptops with me.

The best thing is that I can fulfill almost all of my tech needs with that gadget :) anywhere in the house. My wife appreciates that a lot since I don't disappear in my man cave as much anymore :D So for everyone looking for a good excuse to buy a tablet - that's the one!

e-pinching. That's what it's called!

I have Aldiko on mine, and Nook (since I had a Nook Color before this) so I can read. I found that O'Rielly puts its books on the Market for cheap, and leaves them DRM free so you can export them to EPUB. I've got a couple since I'm in the IT field, but will end up getting a few more.

I also like using it as an email client. Since I don't want to run a client on my desktop (for my POP accounts), I can use the tablet's to manage those accounts. The Gmail app is pretty nice, tho.

Reddita is a fun one to have, as well. I never really frequented that site, but I frequent the app!

I figure I'll get a bit more into remotely managing things. I have a home automation set up at home (Insteon stuff) and will probably switch to a computer based controller. I can use a web interface to manage that stuff, so I can activate stuff from the tablet sitting on my couch!

[EVO Shift 4G General] aclearersky:
So heres what happened I've had this phone since it first came out and its been kept in perfect condition. I just got a new job and left it in my pocket one day and got some dirt in there apparently. Needless to say i now have about 20 small scratches on my phone. And the reason i didnt have a screen protector on it is cause i bought a zagg one and put it on and found out that water and phones dont mix. The phones touchscreen was completely broken so I just took it to best buy and they gave me a new phone. I know i could buy a new digitizer for like 50 dollars but the scratches arnt noticeable when the screen is lit, just knowing that they are there is enough to bug me
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
i got 3 or 4 little ones within 2 weeks of owning the phone. similar to yours in that they could only be seen at certain angles and/or lighting situations.

I put a screen protector on to make sure to not get anymore, and it actually helped to make the other little scratches pretty much disappear.

hope that helps.
[EVO Shift 4G General] aclearersky:
Yeah i ran to the sprint store after work today and picked up a screen protector... except i didnt realize that the protectors only cover the lcd part and not the rest of the touchscreen. It does minimize the visibly of the scratches but it just bugs me. ill just have to sell it for less when the evo 3d comes out due to the scratches.
[EVO Shift 4G General] TechnoBill:
Those Sprint branded screen protectors are terrible...truly worse than the "universal" type.

I'd check out another one of the custom-cut InvisibleShield ZAGG types. They have the textured, soft and pliable surface that may allow it to settle into the cracks and cover them up.

I'm not sure what you did when you put your first one on to make you say "Water and phones don't mix", but it sounds like you may have gone a bit crazy with the spray bottle?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
+1 bought some from Sprint after putting a big scratch on my original screen protector and it's terrible.
[EVO Shift 4G General] warstoke:
i used the ones from radio shack they work great

but to fix scratches if they are small you can get the scratch spray for eye glasses for a few dollars and use it with a cleaning cloththen apply the screen protector
[EVO Shift 4G General] aclearersky:
Hey warstroke, do you have a specific glass scratch remover you can recommend. Cause after hours of searching on google i found displex for touch screen phones but i cant tell if its for plastic or glass. Thanks in advance for the help

Edit... So it looks like its gonna be a huge pain to fix the scratches, so im just gonna wait till my summer job is over and then buy a new digitizer and replace the whole screen. There only like 30 dollars on ebay. Apparently sand is the mortal enemy of cell phone screens.
