[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grimace2255:
It seems that every few days my Sprint Nexus S gets hung on the home screen, and I can no longer swipe to change screens. If I hit the bottom right and left buttons, I can manually change the screen, but swiping left or right changes nothing.

Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's getting too bogged down with open apps. Coming from the Epic, I was constantly closing apps from the Program Monitor, which isn't on the Nexus S.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikefromTX:
I'm running TNT Lite 2.0, which came with a version of ADW Launcher built in.

I want to be able to get rid of the phone icon on the taskbar and replace it with something like Settings. But since I didn't load a standalone version of ADW, will installing a full version over it cause problems?

Reason I ask is that I downloaded and installed ADW Launcher EX (or whatever the paid version is called), and it made my tablet flip out - locked up, strobing screen, etc. I had to do a restore to get it back. So I don't want that one. But the "regular" ADW might do the trick for me. Otherwise I might want to try Launcher Pro or another one.

What's the best way to do it?

[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
I have come to the conclusion that the reason some users are having problems with their phones is this.....

ITS YOUR OWN FAULT!

Leave the phone the way Samsung intended it and 90% of you wont have problems :D

Dont get me wrong i was one of these people.....Got the phone...was really happy with it and then i started to work my magic lol! New launcher here, different widget there and so on and so on.

Ended up with terrible battery life and then with a phone that got so hot it shut itself down!

Since that time i have reset the phone and kept it completly standard...what a difference...battery last 2 days again and the phone is fast and cool!:)

So, moral of the story...leave it alone and just enjoy the phone as it is....if you dont you only have yourself to blaim:cool:

so endith the lesson:p

[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
I speak the truth..you just dont want to admit it!
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Disagree. I think OP made sense - people sometimes mess up their phones. It is a toy for most of us, or a hobby, or an addiction :(
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
You only have to look at the number of problems post about

Its not the phone 90% of the time but the user!

Dont get me wrong im all for changing my phone to the way i want it etc but all it ever does is bugger the thing up!

If the phone is left as it comes out of the shop then the chance of problem is far reduced.

This phone has been refined so far that in standard form there very little wrong with it. Problems arise when we start messing with it to much.
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
Another noob that thinks he knows the best...
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
Some people just dont want to accept thats the case.

If you want to get a phone and tinker around with it adding here and taking away there then fine...just dont then come on here complaining about the phone and making it look bad...its a great phone....if you leave it alone lol!
[Galaxy S II General] dan13l:
Sometimes I wish I could reach into the Internet and strangle people. This is one such occasion.
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
I was thinking the same!

Just my opinion though if you dont like it then fine but the point of forums like this is people have there say...

what makes you think you know best?
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
I know that every phone has bugs... even the sgs 2...
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
Based upon what?

you disagree?

if so why...if its the phone thats at fault all the time then why bother with one?

You think the user is never the cause of problems with the phone? Is that because we are all technical geniuses?
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
do not fight guys.

most phones have bugs.

if you give the user too much freedom, the user will abuse it, tarnish the brand, and you will pick up the bill (Jobs' very successful business model)

and yeah, Doc is a power to be reckoned with :)

can we all be friends please
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
I agree and i never said it was perfect

but this phone is so much better than many and all the niggles are getting sorted the more android and samsung develops.

The point i was making is that the majority of problems on here are not because of some minor bug...more likely down to user error or the result of other apps etc that have been added.
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
Can you show me this "majority of problems" caused by the users?
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
Like i said its just my opinion...

Im sure Doc is very good at what he does and i have never questioned that...dont think we were debating that unless he thought i set down the gaunlet and was looking for a fight lol!

not the case
[Galaxy S II General] dan13l:
You're making a sweeping generalisation based on absolutely zero evidence. The worst kind of troll.

Are the Orange FC problems caused by user error? No - KE2 firmware is bugged. Is the appearance and activation of Wifi sharing user error? No, its a bug. Is the unexplained battery drain and high Android OS use user error? No.

This thread contributes absolutely nothing. It only serves to aggravate those of us with issues that we're trying to resolve. Is it a great phone? Yes. But right now it had issues. You become an early adopter, you accept that. And you try to make the product better.
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
dont want to be on here all night but lets look at the obvious...Battery life

Numerous complaints about that

im no expert and dont profess to be but from my own experience when i had lots of widgets, different launcher etc installed my phone struggled to last the day. Since my reset to standard as of now the phone is still on 78% and thats after being unplugged since 8am.

[Galaxy S II General] varunkumars:
You made one of the best post today. I am with you.
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
Not true!

I am a big fan of this phone and state what i believe based on my own experience...Not a troll and youve no place to say that.

The thread was started to be a bit of light heartedness and you seem to have all taken it to heart. Im not about to make it personal unlike some on here who believe because i have an opinion that might not agree with the so called 'gods' on here that i should not say it.

You are all making a bigger deal of this than it ever was....I am sure many of you 'developers' on here are far clever than me.....but really your showing yourselves up!
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
I cant say either way as i havent had this problem..cant say i have read every thread on here to give an opinion on that...you believe thats the cause of the battery drain?
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Guys... I thought most of you would be familiar with the phrase "obvious troll is obvious".

It's a development forum, people need to learn to understand this. If you're not here to make your phone better in some way, by rooting, hacking, tweaking, or indeed using or testing custom ROMs, then perhaps this ain't the right place.

There are clearly issues that some people are experiencing, like poor battery life. These are fixable with root quite easily :) (for the case I'm thinking of RE overly high CPU speeds)

So yeah, if you see a post like this, let's not start 3 pages of flaming off of what amounts to trolling, given XDA is a developer site. I won't close this, but if you're gonna just troll, go elsewhere :)
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
and why would you do that?

wow some of you guys on here are so defensive about things

you think i am saying that the phone is crap and we should all buy iphones?..read the thread before being sarcastic lol
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Thanks Pulser. Let's make this the official "vent your anger" thread :)
[Galaxy S II General] N-C:
I'm on my 2nd device, 1st one returned due to battery issues.

Same apps (just a few), same email syncs, same settings, much better battery life with the 2nd device.

Definitely a difference between the 2 and definitely not due to usage.
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
You dont know how wrong you are

anyone that has something to say that you dont agree with is a troll?

i am far from that and have always been a very big fan of xda and the development as such. It was meant as a bit of light heartedness and based on my own observations.

you guys really need to get a sense of humour

really dissapointed in you all and the type of hostility that comes..it really wasent necessary.

Mr mod just close the thread. I expect my pm's are full with hate messages now anyway!
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
come on, everyone understands it was a joke I think.
[Galaxy S II General] hpsauce37:
really? have you read their posts?

i appreciate your bit of support but some serious lack of 'sense of humour' on here!

at least you were there for me lol...not like lots of the other 'sheep' sitting in the stalls saying nothing lol! (ITS A JOKE!)

Oh my god i got a 'burning at the stake coming'

sigh
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Per your request it is closed.

The definition of trolling is typically making a post likely to cause inflammatory comments or "flaming", resulting in more. So regardless of if it was a joke or not, it's gone and caused 4 pages of nonsense.

I would suggest that there was more hostility made in the opening post, but that's another story. It's closed.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleaj:
Hi all,

I am new to this forum and Android, so pleas ebe gentle with me.

I have been lookingat the new Android tablet/pads and have been taken with the ASUS transformer in particular.

My prime use for a pad is to view pictures from my DSLR (jpg or raw) and use as a picture album.

So yesterday I went to have a good look and play in store, and was realy impressed with both the pad and keyboard and the way the pad worked in general. I very nearly purchased there and then, but decided I had better try viewing images from my camera.

So went back today with both SD and Micro SD loaded with some .jpg images. There was no keyboard available so used the pad mounted Micro SD.

Heres my problem. The images were terrable with saw tooth edging and out of focus. It is as if the images have been resized for viewing torealy smallfile size which has then been streched to far.

I vied directly from the card and also copy and pasted to a new folder in th gallery. Both images looked the same.

I cant belive this is as intended. Is there a specific way to copy or view images from either sd cards or external drive, to ensure full resolution is displayed?

For info the images look great on a 20" display at home.

Thanks for your petiance

Sorry cross posted
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
Standard Gallery viewer has issues which should be corrected in Honeycomb 3.1. Pictures seemed to be scaled for a smaller display device.

There are other viewers you can download which work better for now.

I forget the name of the one I'm using (quickview?) but pictures look amazing on the Transformer screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Have you tried 3rd party apps? I have no experience with HQ pictures but I used the app QuickPic and it worked for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
QuickPic! Yep, that's the one I use also.

Works great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleaj:
Hi,

Thanks for your input.

I bought the pad with keyboard, downloaded quikpic as sudgested, great image quality.

Intrestingly the default gallery app now displays good quality images as well.

Great product, have only had issues with USB, which now seems to be resolved.

Many thanks for your help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedude737:
First things first, wireless tether is awesome and a life saver. I'd like to give a big thanks to the developers who created it!

I've been having an issue recently however. I've notice that when I'm tethered to my laptop or tablet, my phone will only transmit the internet signal when the "3G" symbol appears on my phone and is white. When its gray, my computer will still recognize its connected to my phone, but won't be able to connect to the internet.

Is this normal? Is there a fix for this?

Thanks!

[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
We all know that the Thunderbolt can talk and surf over 3G and 4G.. why doesnt Verizon promote this? This seems like it'd be a cool selling point since ATT constantly uses this as a knock against VZ's network.

Does talk and surf not work in all markets? Does Verizon not want to confuse owners of other phones? I cant see why they dont advertise this more..
[Thunderbolt General] skeet43169:
i know right i rub it in peoples faces lol
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
It isn't quite up to Verizon standards. At least that was what was on the initial info material for the Thunderbolt. Seems to work fine the couple times I've tried it.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
There have been creative differences on how to present the "Can you hear me now? Good.. Oh, and I just got your e-mail" tv commercials.

Plus only having 1 phone that can do it ATM might be a little premature gloating for the entire network.. Although yes I do it. :)
[Thunderbolt General] bill102938:
It would also advertise to most folks that aren't aware (the non-techies) that talk & data is not available on every other phone... It's a fine line. It's as if Verizon would admit that the lack of this feature is a problem that only 1 phone could resolve.

I'm guessing the marketing weenies took a hard look at this ;)

just my $.02
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
Technically that's the case because of the way the radios are used. The Thunderbolt could be the only one for a while capable of simultaneous voice & data over 3G.
[Thunderbolt General] bogatyr:
I don't know many people who see that as a must have feature. Including friends who have ATT. Never seen anyone use it.
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
because AT&T iDouches need something to keep them feeling like they have the better phone/network..

verizon's just bein nice..and how would it look if they came along after all this time and advertised the one phone in the entire lineup that could do it?
[Thunderbolt General] lippstuh:
There really isn't any point. LTE isn't large enough, only one phone out (as of now). And really how many times would you need to use it?
[Thunderbolt General] Bigandrewgold:
it works over 3g too dude
[Thunderbolt General] LakerStar25:
I use it at least once a day. Doesn't the Charge do it also? If so thats two phones and I believe all the future LTE phones will be able to do it.
[Thunderbolt General] PJnc284:
It should do it when on LTE or Wifi but not necessarily 3G like the Thunderbolt. My understanding is that with the cpu and radio chips being made by Qualcomm, it was easier to get the voice and data working over 3G in addition to the other two.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah I was over in one of the Charge forums and they were talking about how they could not talk and surf at the same time over 3G. The TBolt is definitely still unique in this regard.

As to why they don't push the issue in advertising, I agree that with only one device being able to do it over 3G, it's a little premature. Plus, they are trying to push 4G LTE and going back and touting 3G simultaneous data and voice would be taking a step back in some ways(especially when it's only one device).

When there are more LTE devices available I would expect to hear more about it's advantages, including voice+data.
[Thunderbolt General] mbrown3460:
this is a little bit off topic, is it just me or it seems to that there are no dual core phones with lte coming out? seem like the only one was the bionic and that got trashed
[Thunderbolt General] snicklet:
I always felt this was a useless feature too that att kept gloating about to make the pompous Iphone owners feel superior with their phones. I always would run into an iPhone user who would constantly compare his phone saying "can your phone do this.. can your phone do that".

I agree Verizon should hammer back that the tbolt can do that plus other things the iPhone can't. I think its worth while for Verizon to advertise who is superior now regardless if it is a useless feature.
[Thunderbolt General] micromania:
you can talk and surf at the same time on the tbolt? haha i honestly did not know that. thanks for the tip!
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
I use it everyday many times... On conference calls, sending/receiving emails, looking things up, send maps links, etc. My crew calls for info, I can pull it up, countless things.

And yes, it works on both 4G and 3G. Always.

[Thunderbolt General] craighwk:
I think AT&T tried to make it a bigger deal than it actually was.

I still have yet to use voice and data at the same time, even going back to my iPhone days.
[Thunderbolt General] himmelhauk:
They'll tout it once it becomes more common for the phones that Verizon has available. Since only one can do it now, they'd have to specifically focus on the Thunderbolt, and would have to say ONLY the Thunderbolt has that capability.

I too never saw the big deal of chatting on the phone and surfing the web at the same time, sure it's a cool feature, but for me personally I have the phone to my ear when I'm talking, and surfing would only be a distraction. I liked AT&T when I had them, but I've always hated the iPhone and detested the iPhone users that go out of their way to point out what it can do. Here's something for them, can it do 4G LTE? Yeah, didn't think so. Dual LED flash? Far more customization? No dice!
[Thunderbolt General] champaned_out:
being able to take a phone call and use the navi is a huge plus... also looking up something on the web while on the phone is a great feature
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
Because Verizon doesn't need to pick out one minor feature and market it to death just to stay alive.

They have the network, lots of great devices.... they are all set to win big in the next couple years. Talk and data is just a nice touch for consumers.
[Thunderbolt General] bill.allrobots.org:
Considering how long they've been shrugging this off as unimportant, it would probably look silly to start bragging about it now. I tend to agree with the sentiment... I've never ever used this and highly doubt I will.

Although, they've been shrugging off the iPhone as inferior to Android devices for years, and suddenly the whole company is flipping out because they got it (the phone categories are feature phones, smartphones, and iPhone? wtf??).
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
I use Google Maps while I'm on my phone quite often, and it really is handy to be able to look things up while talking on the phone. It was a feature that I didn't realize I would use until I had the T-bolt and I could finally do it.

Haha, I just saw that the other day. Messed up, dude.
[Thunderbolt General] Deadem:
It is a great feature while using Nav and being able to still keep the data connection while talking as one user said. If you have a headset you can do a quick look up on the web, shoot an email and such. I have AT&T and Verizon and it's about damn time and this is one feature about the Thunderbolt that is actually a big positive. T-Mobile also has this feature and why knock or discount since another network has this feature.

Try using the hop spot feature on any Droid and being on a conference call all with the same phone. It helps converge devices and now with LTE i don't have to tether with my AT&T account now.
[Thunderbolt General] BigJohn826:
It is a great feature and one that I missed when I switched from ATT to VZW. I mostly use it as others have said talking on the phone while using navigation. It was one of the main reasons I decided to go with the TBolt instead of waiting on the other LTE devices.
