[HTC Inspire 4G] baconissweet:
Being connected only to WiFi will I miss out on the update?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nivlek:
New 4G sim cards won't have 3g on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
they dont use 4g sims because its not 4g, they can call it 4g all they want its still 3g tech with a simple software update, 4g sims will be for lte 4g networks because it is different tech than 3g, htc inspire is not lte compatible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Close, but not quite. They are now releasing SIMs that are LTE capable, even though the phones aren't. I had a 3G SIM in my Curve 8310 even though it was EDGE only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
they are not going to release a backwards compatible 4g sim for 3g when they have no phones that are lte, besides that i just went through this on phone with att and at store with regional manager he said there are no 4g sim cards and the phone wouldnt use it anyways since its only for lte phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Hmm, I just reread the thread where I thought I got my info from.... Nobody actually posted links to confirm that the new SIMs are in fact LTE. A couple people said that AT&T reps told them that.... but the AT&T rep who sold me my Inspire didn't even set my voicemail box back up (I had an iPhone).

Here's what I was using as reference. I stand silenced, if not fully corrected (I don't recant of my position... pending more info, but I won't spread this without more info either).
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I read the post you are talking about and that is pretty old, I still would need to see this as proof, I have talked to quite a few peeps on phone telling me i needed a 4g sim and they called local store told manager and manager told them there are no such thing and they are mixing up the fact that it is still a 3g phone. I am not saying it is impossible to have a sim backwards compatible, I am saying from all my calls and in store discussions with managers and a regional manager all have said there are no 4g lte sims yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] avocadoavocado:
Nothing yet in the Philadelphia area. Hoping for the update soon though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sawah:
No update in NE Minnesota. I had a rooted phone before not sure if that's the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] onthezone:
I don't have sideload yet and I'm still s-off, maybe that makes a difference?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Roots08:
I'm in NE Minneapolis too and have not received the update. My phone is non-rooted.

I asked an ATT rep about when to expect the update, and they gave me the number to HTC customer support. This is an ATT update and not a HTC one, correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I been having a inspire for awhile, me and my brother both walked in att store at same exact time, and exchanged phones for new inspire because of reception. My brothers phone has unknown sources option and hasnt done anything he doesnt even install apps or do anything at all, I havent done anything on my new phone after exchanging it for a new one. I dont have any option for unknown sources yet, I even did the update from htc, check constantly when available, turn phone off for 5 min back on, remove sim put back and still nothing.

My opinion is this, nothing u do can make it appear on your phone faster, all this remove sim, power off, etc.. is all bs. I still say they are sending out the update or enabling feature is probaly more accurate based on ime # or something like that, I do not know how they are choosing it, But im pretty sure they are using some sort of system to send out batch updates to a certain selection of phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] erikemp:
Hi guys. I just got my inspire on Tuesday from Bestbuy. I don't have the option to install nonmarket apps on my phone but I was still able to install the amazon appstore without any problems. So just try installig third party apps you may have the update and not even know it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CraigP17:
Greater Philadelphia area. Still no option here. Roommate with inspire got it. Coworker with inspire got it.

But not me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeffesaurusrex:
I don't have an option but I can now install nonmarket apps. All of them as far as I can tell, I even installed apps that had been removed from the market.

Why wouldn't the checkbox be there?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I still have no option for unknown sources, and cant install any apps except from market
[HTC Inspire 4G] karmapuhlease:
Still haven't gotten it yet...

Two weeks later, I still haven't gotten my update and AT&T had no idea what to do when I called them. They asked me to read the Software Number from my phone in Settings>About Phone>Software information>Software number, and when I told them "1.84.502.11" they said that I had the most up-to-date version and that there were no updates that I hadn't yet received. Do I have to do something to trigger the sideloading update? I saw that last week I got some sort of notification about an update but reading through some of the posts here I think it might have been the HSUPA one since everyone is saying that the sideloading one is supposed to just happen in the background.

Thinking that maybe I did receive it and just didn't realize it (some of you are saying that "Unknown Sources" doesn't show up but that you can actually sideload), I tried installing Swype and it was blocked.

Any advice on how to trigger the sideloading update? AT&T told me to talk to HTC about it, but I don't think it's an HTC update. Should I ask AT&T and hope to get a different representative, or call HTC? Or is there some other way to solve it on my own?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
Nothing in socal
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I have posted earlier in this post that me and my brother returned our inspire at same exact time at att store for a new one, and he has the update with the option unknown sources, and I do not. again he hasnt done anything or even installed any apps on his phone at all, and I have not rooted or done anything on my new one either.

After talking to him again today about it, I asked if he leaves his wifi on and he said yes all the time doesnt turn it off, and he works from home. I however only turn wifi on when im going to actually d/l stuff from home or surf web to conserve on battery power. So maybe having wifi on and being on wifi most of the time has something to do with those who have gotten it already.

Maybe a few people who have gotten it already can shed some light on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] karmapuhlease:
Whenever I'm home I keep the WiFi turned on, but if it's supposed to go through the cell data that might explain my problem, since most of the day I'm in areas with bad service (I get 1 or 2 bars both at school and at home).
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdpyo:
Nothing on my phone here in Philadelphia, may take this one back, I keep having 2g to 3g issues, one of the pixels on my screen is shot and my GPS isn't that great.

Hope they don't mind the hair line scratch. Lol

Also having a really annoying messaging problem.

Sent from my stock Inspire o_O
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackangel104:
At&t representatives don't know wtf they are talking about...I've got the update on both aria and inspire

We drown in four loko :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] stevebakh:
I know this question has been asked already, but the suggested locations given for Android 2.x don't appear to be the same in Honeycomb.

I applied the wallpaper directly from within my browser (if I recall) and don't have it stored locally in the Pictures or Downloads directories, so I was hoping somebody would know where android caches it. I've had a look through the file system but I couldn't see anything that stood out.

I also tried an app called "Wallpaper set and save", which I thought was going to come through, but the result looked horrid - I suppose that's something to do with using it on HC.

I'm using a stock UK xoom (unrooted).

Any suggestions welcome.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] NeverBoring:
Same here. Looking for answer, please.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cwizardtx:
The way that honeycomb applies wallpapers is really wacky. If you have 3.1 you will see guides when you crop using the wallpaper tool. If you do not have 3.1, download one of the templates available in the forums and you will see what is "useable".
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rikardo1979:
problem is that HC stock wallpapers are stored inside in Launcher2.apk.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rikardo1979:
I've just found the way how to set wallpaper in the best quality, resolution and without distortion/blur ;)

If u use this method u not loose any part of your picture cos there is no crop :) it just fit the whole picture on full screen

All u need is this app MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and its free ;)

So how to ?

-long press on homescreen

-than go to Wallpaper->Live Wallpaper and select MultiPicture Live Wallpaper

-select Setting and set your folder with your wallpapers

Done

This app actually changing the wallpapers in particular time but u can also sett it to use only one picture if u don't like changing ;)

There is a lot more settings what u can play with if u like :)

So enjoy

:cool:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Almighty1:
Since this was brought up, where does the 2.x Android versions store the current wallpaper?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeldave:
Recently the market has randomly force closing. It doesnt happen every time.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Im on the stock rom with root and cwm via blob v5.

On another note does anyone get a force close with the xda app?

Unzip and copy the apk's to system/app (make a backup from orginal apk's first)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] skaif:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ryrzy:
just download archives, unzip on you pc, copy apk files on you phone memory and copy via Root Explorer (you must have mounted as R/W) to system/app ...

you can make backup of oryginal files before :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stesteste:
oops copyed apk file to system /apps i saved origanal email went transparent then laucher broke copyed original back launcher broke again saying couldnt load ,,,anyway rebooted everything ok do you always have to reboot after swaping files cheers

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
they are separated

In the worst case, you need to do a hard reset
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
updated first post

new transparant clock and new semi transparant weatherwidget to match with the clock
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] syps54:
Hi, just tested ok for weather and clock widget, transparent and semi transparent ;)

But i tried the 2 emails widgets (trans and semi) and they don't work at all...

When the widget charging on the screen : i just can see : "problem with the charging widget"
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
thanks for the info.

gonne find a solution for it:cool:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] syps54:
Do you want the original apk from the S II ? perhaps it can help you ;)

You will find here :

http://www.multiupload.com/FS2Y6OG2NT
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] whiskeybro:
i have to go to work now but gonne look into this tonight

thanks:)

Edit: would you like to test this file it looks indeed a different widget version then the apk i had.

i made it transparant
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] syps54:
It's Ok now ! ;)

The only think is that with the transparent email widget you can't read the text because of the text colour, that is grey and sometimes black, so it is not visible :(

Suggestion : It would be better to change the text colour in white as the weather widget, in order to read the text with something clearer, I've tried with 3 different walls :

but perhaps it will be better with the semi-transparent...

The original apk has a white background, that's why we can read perfectly with the grey/black text, but with a transparent one, the text has to be white;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stesteste:
any nooby instructoin as i cpyued the apk file using root and it wouldnt load do i just copy the apk thx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] syps54:
-You choose on the 1st post if you want semi or completely transparent.

-You download

-You need root explorer installed on your phone

-You put the downloaded apk on your phone on the internal SD card

- Open root explorer

- Go in system/app/and search "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk"

- when you found it long press on and "copy"

- go back with the return key and go to sd card

- now choose external sd and click paste (you can see it bottom right)

Like that you have firstly saved the original folders.

Now to install the new ones :

- always with root explorer go to sd card (not external sd)

- choose SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk you have just downloaded

- long press and "move"

- go to system/app

- click mount/rw on top (like that you can replace the apk)

- bottom right click paste

- it ask you if you want replace, say yes

- close root explorer

- press add new widget, choose weather widget and its now transparent:)

(sorry for my english):D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] prana_Sky:
Anyone have the original e-mail widget .apk for sgsII. I think I need that to flash back first to have semi transparent worrking again. I have found when I flashed full transparent then tried semi.. nothing changed.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] afx69:
Can confirm the new test file works fince on my KE2 with KDD-OC Kernel.

Any updates on the Semi Transparent ? Its almost impossible to read the text; but even this is better than the original from Samsung...

As an alternative; the text could been White/yellow using BOLD etc for read/unread, still using the full transparent version :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hunhool:
Hi,

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stesteste:

[HTC Incredible S] MaorIncredibleS:
ok so look at the USB connection on your phone

theres the hole of it, and a tiny black plastic around it - around the connection open part.

seems its not quite inside. i mean it makes noises like its not "sitting" in to place, it moves a bit in her place - bad build quality

any one else have it ?
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Yes, the metal connector on mine does feel a bit loose. Can't say I'm too worried about it though, doesn't affect its operation in any way.
[HTC Incredible S] MaorIncredibleS:
its not metal, i think.

its a black thingi cover the USB connection...it is loose

any one else also
[HTC Incredible S] r_a_c:
When the backcover is off, it moves. But with the backcover back on it's just steady, and doesn't move anymore normally.
[HTC Incredible S] cooljais:
Mine is perfectly ok, no issues as reported by here.
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
Whith my first IS it was loose to, but on my new IS it is steady.
[HTC Incredible S] kattara:
Not loose on mine. Feels secure.
[HTC Incredible S] thkhai:
yup, its feel a bit loose, but anyway, i like it so much.....
[HTC Incredible S] ftgg99:
Bumping this because i had to send a delivery guy back for a second phone just now. First socket casing was rattling like a childs toy.

Still, this is the sturdiest ive seen in full body plastic backplates from htc. My second one feels really tough. I guess those manual laborers are slacking off again.
[HTC Incredible S] broman.m:
Was wondering is this is the right thread for my question, but I guess so since it regards the usb-connection slot.

My issue is this: From time to time I receive a connection error stating that my usb device has malfunctioned and cannot be recognised by windows (7 ultimate).

Is this something common? Should I take it up with the company from where I bought it?

It's quite annoying to loose connection when I'm using as a "disk drive", or "internet pass through", still it continues to charge the phone, and my phone doesn't complain a single time when windows does.

So, is this a phone issue, or something with drivers? I was doing this both with the preveious as well as the latest drivers that came with sync-software from htc.com.
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00371:
Mine is also loose, but I haven't encountered your problem. However, I just hate the sound that is made by the loosing. It makes me feel... my phone is likely to malfunction or un chargeble.

I won't send my phone to HTC Care anyway. They will most likely void my warranty and force me to pay before fixing the problem.
[HTC Incredible S] ACD168:
I've gotten 4 refurbs sent because of this and everyone has the loose plastic charging port. and everyone there's always something wrong, power button sucks. something every time
[HTC Incredible S] DesGehtDiNixO:
Mines got that loose plastic thingy since unboxing. Didn't care about that..charging etc. Works, and thats the only thing that interests me :) I think They have their minor problems with assembling The IncS..:D

[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Mine is loose aswell. Just used some tape inside the case. Did the trick :)
[HTC Incredible S] P.Pan:
most seems to be loose, because it is not fixed to the motherboard in order not to damage this by forcing plug in.
[HTC Incredible S] wpra3:
same here, its loose, but can easily be fixed by blutacks.

will this method still work ?
[Wildfire General] bx19:
"PC49IMG.ZIP" is used for other purposes also (other than just installng custom recovery).. It depends on where u have downloaded that pc49img.zip and what it contains.

And for that pc49img.zip to work, ur memory card need to be formatted to fat32 partition before. Not to confuse u but im trying to say clearly, thats all. And u can even go with that process in the post #2.
[Wildfire General] atomicmak:

As what the title says.

SGS has a good performance, but uses really a lot battery in every ROM.

Which one uses the least?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Stock ROM.

there are millions of threads out there explaining battery life and which ROM has best battery life.

is there really any need for another pointless thread ??

battery will get worse if you leave stock ROM, it might change a lot or a little, so if battery life is important to you, stay on a stock ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt0204:
Oh I am sorry.

I find lots of threads about battery life but I didn't find any about which ROM has the best battery life.

And I assumed that there will be some tweaks to have better battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
there are many tweaks, including finding the right kernel and undervolting it.

avoid using task killers- they do more harm than good.

stay away from CM7 - MIUI these have battery drain bugs

the list is endless, i would recommend making your own rom at www.romkitchen.org

only cook stuff into the rom that you will use, there are many roms out there packed full of **** we dont use, thus leading to battery drain.

just be wise when choosing
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
out of old experiences

best i tried was a combo of rom and kernal

insanity rom with a laststufo kernal

of course it isn't the latest version of either but i remember it gave me a big batt diff

usually lasted from 6am to 1pm afternoon before the batt ran out

but with that combo it lasted a full day 6am to 10pm and had about 40% left

also optimized with tasker to watch net usage with screen off and a net check every 10 mins for email notification

found out default email app was bugged so forwarded all my hotmail emails to gmail and that fixed that

now after getting me a lot o spare batteries hell i run thru 3-4 batts a day with everything on and i mean everything with OC as well , hell lot of msn, twitter, facebook, games, browsing im all fun now woohooo ^_^ TY Chinese wall battery chargers ^_^
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satanduck:
I use Gemini App Manager to control which app that runs during startup and that helps tremendously to battery life. Juice Defender helps too if you have 3G on. This way you can use any ROM you like and not get too much battery life difference.

I also feel that Gingerbread in general seems to improve on battery life, but I was only on Froyo for 2 days since getting the phone so not a very wide assessment :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BronTron:
Im having an issue in the youtube app where if i press space the cursor goes to highlight one of the videos in the related section. i have to hold up for the selector to go back to the text area before i can actually enter my space. Does anybody else have this issue? I hope i explained it well enough
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bone$:
I have come across this problem as well... a quick fix is pressing the search button on your dock... this should allow you to enter words while hitting the space key...

also, don't think this belongs in the dev section =)
