[Desire HD General] aref_tmu:
I have approximately same issue with my HTC Desire S after I updated it to 2.3.5

The phone is new, not rooted (untouched)

please help me to fix it :-(
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
I assume you've tried all the above suggestions, including installing gb keyboard from market and they've failed?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
What do you use???

What is the best call blocking app. I need to block unknown numbers and stupid telemarketing call. I also need it to log all call not just block them.

Paid and free one's.

I have not rooted my phone yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Camille68:
I use an app called Mr. Number. It logs all calls that are made to your phone, and there are various options. I have mine set to allow all calls from anyone in my contacts list. All other calls automatically go to voicemail, and I always have the option to go back and add a previously blocked number to the whitelist. There are other options/things that the app can do, but that's mainly what I use it for.

Because of that, I am only using the free version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ratcityrain:
just place the number in your contacts & if you can send them directly to voicemail from there & it won't ring your phone.

just go to teh contact, click menu then click "options" then click the checkbox next to "incoming calls"

that is how I do it. Sure it fills my contact list more, but its the easiest way to not having my phone ring
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Root call blocker if you never want it to get sent to your phone at all. Its the only one that does that. All the rest just send to voicemail.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allofusjw:
+1 for Mr. Number. Worked great for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] WorldWide60:
I've been wanting to use a call blocking app, but how bad does it affect the battery life?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
Just use the reject slider, "is da best"

G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mainmast2:
I use call blocker gold. It has many options but not one call blocker I have seen does what CM7 does built-in and that's send the call to an infinite loop of ringing. There is a Phone.apk and Contacts.apk for Froyo in the HD2 Android section that does this.

Personally, I would rather send a not wanted caller to an infinite ring than to my voicemail. Hopefully, it will be incorporated to the new ROM's coming out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aczarney:
If you are getting telemarketer calls, get on the do not call list....it's that simple. Anything else...Mr. Number. Just know it doesn't block the calls--that's impossible to do from the handset. It picks up and then hangs up the call.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aray213:
Call Blocker

Been using Easy Filter. Works great, logs calls rejected and real easy to add numbers to block list. Gives you several options on how to handle blocked calls as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I should of said this before, I needed a feature like black list option from my G1 with Cy rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mainmast2:
Afaik, the only way to do that is by modifying phone.apk and contacts.apk. I am pretty sure the blacklist option is already incorporated in current cm7 roms for the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mainmast2:
Is there an option to send it to an endless ring? Are there any call blockers that can do that? Or any call blockers that will forward the call to a number of your choice?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MVrah:
google voice

use google voice best gives you de option to even screen call to know what they want u can just port u current number for $20 or get one for free u get free calling all over us i just ported my number when i got my g2x use every day voice-mail to text love it to read about it

http://google.com/voice

Cm7 blacklist
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ftgg99:
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:

Root Call Blocker (for general use):

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta

Call Master (for advanced users):

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist

These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmcinnis31:
Mr. number
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Thanks for all the apps to try.

I use extreme call blocker.

Works great for all my needs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bg1906:
I use Avast Antivirus and it has a built in Call SMS Blacklist feature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] juny51:
Use hide it pro. Can use it to block calls SMS and hide your pictures

Ive used two years not cant get enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] findik:
Y really good app
[T-Mobile LG G2x] norsepriest:
Lol rcb is way better.

Let's see - easy filter has air push, it still turns on the screen when calls come in, an interface designed 3 years ago and it hasn't been updated in 8 months. In other words, its not good.

Rcb is the way.

Here is the email I got:

May 16, 2011

Dear Windows Marketplace for Mobile Developer,

We are excited about the momentum we have with Windows Phone. Since we launched Windows Phone last fall, technical reviews have been very positive and, most importantly, customer satisfaction has been extremely high. Moreover, our Windows Phone Marketplace continues to grow at a fast pace. It now features more than 15,000 apps and games and there are over 40,000 registered developers.

At MIX we announced that in May we will release the beta version of the Windows Phone Developer Tools for the next version of Windows Phone, code-named "Mango," which we are still on track to do. The Mango release will be made available to users later this year, and it represents the next step in our continued focus on advancing the Windows Phone platform and expanding the opportunity for developers.

To innovate faster on the Windows Phone Marketplace, we are scaling back our investments in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile service. We are sharing this plan with you, in advance, so that you can make thoughtful plans and preparations.

•	App Submission and Management. On July 15, 2011, we will no longer be accepting new Windows Mobile 6.x applications or application updates. In addition, it will no longer be possible to modify prices, metadata, or other information. However, you will still be able to remove your apps by contacting support.

•	App Distribution. Even though app submission will stop on July 15, users will still be able to purchase and download your Windows Mobile 6.x applications through the Windows Marketplace for Mobile.

•	App Reporting. Sales and download reports will continue to be available for your Windows Mobile 6.x applications through the App Hub after July 15.

•	Developer Payouts. Developer payouts will continue to be processed in accordance with the provisions of the Windows Phone Marketplace Application Provider Agreement.

Additional information regarding the scaling back of our investment in the Windows Marketplace for Mobile will be shared over the coming months as plans become finalized.

We would like to thank you for being part of our Windows Marketplace for Mobile developer community, and we look forward to helping you build more Windows Phone applications.

For more information, please visit the App Hub Forum. For further assistance, please contact support directly.

Thank you for your support,

The Windows Phone Marketplace Team

WTF????

what about us?!?!?!?

I (we) prefer still with WM 6.5 why they do this to us?

where can I send my bad opinion about it?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] prabhat:
Bad News

This is really a bad news :(. May be MS want all users to move to /develop for Win Phone 7... but what abt the existing users who are still staying with 6.5.x :confused:

I hope My Phone server will remain active as that is a part of their service.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
Yes !! My Phone is very very useful !!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
And what about the futur of Windows Embedded Handeld??

Sorry to be late posting this but it contains information about the shutdown of 'My Phone' and the Windows Mobile App Store on the Web:

Shut-down of Windows Marketplace for Mobile Web Site and My Phone Service Notification

June 8, 2011

Dear Windows Mobile 6.x customer:

Microsoft will be discontinuing the My Phone service for Windows Mobile 6.x. We will also be discontinuing the Windows Marketplace for Mobile web site. Because you may be affected, please review the details below:

Windows Marketplace for Mobile Web Site To Be Discontinued

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile web site at http://marketplace.windowsphone.com will no longer be available starting on July 15, 2011. After July 15, 2011, you will no longer be able to browse, buy or download applications for Windows Mobile 6.x phones via the Windows Marketplace for Mobile web site.

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile service will continue to be available on your phone, however. You will continue to be able to browse, buy and download applications for Windows Mobile 6.x on your phone.

My Phone To Be Discontinued

On August 7, 2011, the My Phone service will stop saving content from phones to the My Phone service. If you rely on the My Phone service to back-up the content on your Windows Mobile 6.x phone, you will be affected.

Starting on August 7, 2011, Microsoft will begin moving your My Phone content to Windows Live SkyDrive. SkyDrive is Microsoft's free online storage service that helps you access and share your files such as photos and Microsoft Office documents. Contacts, calendar entries, text messages and photos will be moved to SkyDrive for you. Once moved, you will be able to access this content by logging into SkyDrive using the Windows Live ID that you used to register for the My Phone service.

Other content types, including videos, music, documents and favorites will not be moved from My Phone to SkyDrive for you. If you want this content, you must save it from the My Phone service to your local PC.

On October 6, 2011, the My Phone web site at http://www.microsoft.com/myphone will no longer be available. On this date, you will no longer be able to log in to the My Phone service to access your content stored to the My Phone service. Microsoft will continue to store your My Phone content for one (1) year. Physical copies of your content can be shipped to you upon request until October 5, 2012.

Take Action

To learn more about the My Phone service shut-down, including information about your content moving to Windows Live SkyDrive and how to save other content to your local PC, please visit this web site:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2557520

Microsoft is committed to making this transition easy. In the meantime, we want to sincerely thank you for your use of Windows Mobile 6.x.

Looking for any way we could get the expanded webtop to read/mount .iso files the traditional methods I've used in the past are failing to grab loop from the kernel it's been we'll over a year since I've messed with linux can someone point me in the right direction to get .iso files mounted as a cd drive that works?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slade8525:
I just got an assignment for the UK, France, and Monaco for 2 months (London, Manchester, Paris, Lyon, Nice, Marseilles, Monaco), normally i work in Greece and use an unlocked HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt on Wave as the carrier, but now i have the Atrix which i would rather use there, so i gave my Tilt/Kaiser to my sister to use while she is in Greece this year.

I have unlocked my Atrix but dont want to walk into the wifi problems, can anyone confirm a hassle free GSM carrier for an unlocked AT&T Atrix 4G? I will be traveling all over the UK and France and hope to use it for email and map/route purposes.

If not i will just sell the Atrix and buy a phone there and wing it. im actually pretty disappointed in the whole unlocked/wifi thing.

thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephgre:
Hello,

i have test the atrix with orange and now with bouygues telecom, no problem.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
You will not be affected by wifi bugs in those countries. The issues we have on unlocked atrixes arent in fact a byproduct of unlocking but rather of some countries being poorly supported in the driver, that said you should be fine with any carrier in those countries.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxn-:
hi on all G2's i see in vids etc the home button on the phone as a chrome/silver surrond, mine doesnt was wondering if im the only one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101matt101:
The S2 is meant to have a silver/chrome surround on the home button, if yours doesn't it's a manufacturing fault and you should consider returning your device. Even if it doesn't bother you, it'll wreck the resale value when the time comes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seade:
Mine doesn't have the chromed finish either. I really prefer it this way!

Even in this crappy quality photo (sorry about that :p), it's clear on mine.

Need to go to a window to define it and need a magnifying glass to see its chrome .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
It's the same colour as the outer frame so gunmetal too. I guess it looks a little shiner in the photo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbpf77:
Same here, my home button surround and the trim round the face are both a Smokey dark grey rather than a bright chrome. First day purchase from phones4u uk...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Mine is not silver. It is almost a gunmetal colour, the same as the frame around the screen.

Same goes with my O2-branded SGS2.

Trust me. It's there somewhere. LOL

My box says smoke grey on outside
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob_me:
They're all the same accept people are seeing theres in a different light?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypticc:
no definitely smoked gunmetal vs silver/chrome. One guy on the overclock thread said he had silver and insisted his setcpu reported he had a tegra chip - I haven't looked back lately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Breakthrough! I just checked my box and it says...... "Noble Black"!

So there are different colours!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesrazo:
Currently have a Nexus S and I just ordered a G2X, if someone has compared them both. What do you think? Is the G2X a upgrade to the Nexus S? I'm in a good place because I can always hand down whatever device I don't want to keep or return the G2X for the Sensation. What are your opinions on the G2X hardware wise? The G2X will probably be stock for like 5 min. as I plan on putting whatever rom is hot atm. Please help I'm torn between the two lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
There are lots of NS owners and they say the screen is brighter and more detailed.... and much much faster.

Coming from the Nexus line, it flashes and everything the same way. No using special software to flash or anything. Just root, download Rom Manager, and flash.

The Sensation has an encrypted locked bootloader so chances of it having custom roms is slim-to-none.

Plus Tegra 2 dual-core is faster. HDMI out is fun. You'll like it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I come from the Galaxy S 4G and I really like this phone.

Nexus S and Galaxy S 4G were similar phones so my answer is no, you will not be dissapointed with the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Castle5665:
I was about to pick up a G2X recently. I talked to a person in the store returning their G2X which had horrid back light bleeding. I'm learning that this issue is inherent to this models screen to varying degrees depending on your luck. The screenshots I've seen being sent to LG support don't look good either. Whats the consensus here?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
A bunch of nit picken cry babies. It is never noticeable. I watch movies in the dark. Still not bad.

But whatever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
this is more how i feel as well...

while it is an issue, some phones are worse than others for sure... My phone has what I would consider average bleeding for an LCD screen, i have a bit of bleed in the upper left corner and a smaller bit on the lower left... at 100% brightness on total black they are both noticeable but not like rays of sun protruding out the sides... on 50% you can see them if you are looking for them and lowest brightness they are totally unnoticeable...

now, i watch movies at night all the time and i keep my brightness settings on automatic so when i watch my movies that have dark edges and such the brightness is typically very low thus the bleeding goes unnoticed... never have i needed to watch a movie with max brightness in the dark, the only time i would noticeably see the bleeding... if i do max brightness during the day while watching something then i still dont notice the bleeding cuz the natural daylight blends it out...

point being, there are very few scenarios where you will even come in contact with the bleeding if its not so bad that your whole screen is turning yellow, which i have seen lol

its all a matter of what you can tolerate in the end...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VisedMonk:
Yes. It's a great phone, even with the old software, and when the tasty gingerbread update drops it will be better.

Agreed, though I am on my 2nd G2x. No issues at all. Minimal bleed in the top left and right corners, but not really noticeable except on the splash screen, boot animation, and power-off animation. I had an EVO for almost a year, and it had the same issue. Never noticed it with normal usage, even rockin' a gingerbread rom w/ the black status bar.

My first looked like the screens in this thread: http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/t-mobile/topics/g2x-screen-separating-from-body

Clearly defective, so I sent it back and got a new one. Very satisfied now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Castle5665:
Thanks for the opinions of the backlight bleed guys. I'm just worried coming from a SAMOLED screen on the Vibrant, that I would be very disappointed. I'll give it more consideration.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
I came from an AMOLED on a Nexus 1 and while it was not a SAMOLED i still think i prefer the LCD over LED given the current tech... the pentile matrix of LED drove me nuts, everything looked grainy to me regardless of the vibrant colors and deep blacks... LCD looks sharper and more natural... I have great eyesight so I am nitpicky about quality and clarity on my screen :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hazard99:
I came from the vibrant also and I wonder what everyone was on about. While I like the colors of the vibrant, the g2x still looks bea-utiful! Lcd screen bleed isnt so bad. specially with the lights on.

Unlike a ugly chick you dont have to turn out the lights to use it!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeo1996:
Hello,

Im experiencing some lockscreen delay when i try to wake up the phone. I have rooted and flashed the original kernel back. When phone is connected to PC or charging its very responsive. Is there anyway to fix this? How do you do a factory reset?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Death666Angel:
Would be interested in an answer for this as well. I have the same situation, fast response to lock-button press when charging, few (2 +-1) seconds delay when not charging. I haven't rooted yet and have 2 pages of homescreen which have 5 widgets and 10 shortcuts/apps.

Is this normal behaviour, because the phone wakes up from a deep sleep state? :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seade:
I think this is because of the phone being in sleep mode. It takes a second to wake up and increase the CPU speed and such... If you were to disable this, your phone would probably consume a LOT more battery. =/ But, heck, if it's only one second, it's worth waiting for, given that it's the most awesome phone you'll see until SGS3! ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scared27:
This used to happen all the time on JVK on SGS1.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHel01:
This also happens to me and I just can not figure out what causes this? When the phone is on the charger it mostly doesn't happen. When I switch from Wifi to 3G, for a few seconds it doesn't happen... I cant figure it out what it is!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Same here, doesn't bother me that much though. What does bother me is, I first see the normal screen for just a moment and then the lockscreen. Anyone else got this to?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm111:
It's because when the phone is uplugged and has been locked for awhile, the CPU downclocks to conserve energy. And when you wake the device up, it takes awhile to get the display going and bump the CPU speed back up.

This happened with my old HTC Desire with battery optimizations. When the custom roms start rolling in for the G S2, I guarentee there will be a 'fix' for this at the expense of battery life.

FYI, the delay isn't there when the phone is on charge/plugged in as the CPU doesn't downclock as drastically.

*EDIT*

Yep, I've got that, as does the other 4 Galaxy S2's that have passed through my ownership due to replacements. It's completely normal don't worry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHel01:
I use Widgetlocker great lockscreen mod and the normal screen does not come up first.

I understand your explanation but this did not happen to my desire and it doesn't happen all the time (switch from wifi to 3g and stuff). I can get used to it but it would be nice if it would be instant!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm111:
It happens rarely, but I've used both widget locker and the stock lockscreen on this phone and it happens on both.

And no, it didn't happen on the stock desire, it only happened on my desire with the battery optimizations which downclocked the CPU to 133mhz i believe, so the G SII must be downclocking to around that speed when not plugged in.
