[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popimp315:
yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if on setups not as stripped as mine, the stock launcher is still much smoother.

I'm only running 1 home screen with the google quick search box and eight app shortcuts. along with no transition animations or other eye candy, it's like butter, especially now that they've fixed the 3d app tray.. used to be a little choppy but now it really is reminiscent of a vanilla GB launcher in terms of smoothness.[/QUOTE]

How are you able to get one home screen???? Granted I have one screen that has one widget on it, the rest are blank, but there are still 7 total. ....wait...I think you are using adw ex right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
yes, using adw ex. all of the custom launcher apps I've used allow you to choose how many homescreens you have though, shouldn't matter which one you have.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
:confused:

you can use any icons you want as long as they're PNG (same as any other custom launcher).. creating an icon pack that will replace your app tray icons as well is a piece of cake.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popimp315:
yeah. I'm a former zeam user but just got back my adw. May go with it until someone finds a way to customize stock
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruceko86:
Launcher pro for me but with the recent update. The slide out keyboard no longer opens go to landscape mode.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafuneith:
I like launcher pro

or you can use ADW launcher

if you like wp7's launcher, you can use 7 launcher

if you like 3D UI, you can use regina
[Acer Iconia A500] sarcasmo:
I recently picked up my Iconia and I'm loving it so far. I have run into an issue with the headphone jack, however. When I plug in headphones the tab detects them. It switches off output to the esternal speakers and shows a little headset icon in the system tray.

When I remove the headphone plug from the jack I expect the tab to detect the change and re-route sound to the external speakers (while also removing the headset indicator for the system tray). It does not. I have to restart the tab in order to get sound to the external speakers.

Does anyone else have this problem (search turned up no helpful results)? Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I definitely don't see that here, however it will pause your music software when you unplug the headphones, by design.
[Acer Iconia A500] cointel:
I have had this happen. I just plugged it back in and then unplugged it again and it worked fine. No need to reboot it, but I did notice this myself and was thinking that the jack connector is not picking up the release. This would be an easy fix, but one would have to open up the tablet to get to the jack lol.

So for now I am unplugging it straight out instead of a slight bend out. If it sticks, just plug it back in and unplug it again, it will pick it up. However I think that this jack issue is a quality issue that might become serious down the road. My opinion is the same for rocker switches (volume control) as I have seen rocker switches give out very quickly, so I am not a fan of anything that has a rocker switch. But, as these things are good for about a year, might as well hope for the best as next year we will dump these for the next newest thing out there. I don't think these are meant to go for years at a time. Just my .02 cents worth.
[Acer Iconia A500] huppelkutje:
Same over here. Had this problem once or twice. Just plug your headset back in, and out again. That fixed it for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] sarcasmo:
Thanks for the replies.
[Acer Iconia A500] trothmaster:
same problem here. quite annoying when I unplug the headphone and don't notice until i am away from the headphones....
[Acer Iconia A500] PorkFriedRice007:
I have had an issue where I plug in my headphones but sound to the speakers is NOT cut off sometimes. This can be embarrasing if you are on a bus with headphones on thinking that you are quietly watching a movie when in fact everyone around you is being treated to the audio from the love scene from Mad Men that you are watching.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Part of my USB cord where it connects to the NC has chipped off, and I'd like to get a replacement, but I need my serial number. I just recently replaced the stock OS on eMMC, so the serial number no longer appears in Settings. Is there anywhere else I can find it?

ETA: There's a 13-digit number starting with 9781 on my receipt from Staples. Would that be it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
The number on the receipt was not the SN, but I dug out the box and it had a SN sticker on it. The B&N support rep I got was not the sharpest and said that there was some computer error with my warranty and he would have to forward the issue blah blah blah, but I should have a new cable in about a week.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ophbalance:
It should also be under the microSD card flap.

Has anyone worked out how to adjust the cursor speed when you have a mouse attached? it's fast when using the touchpad but slower when using a mouse :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjwilber:
Just move your finger more slowly :-)

Sorry, couldn't resist
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
Or alternatively, apply oil to your desk under the mouse, and watch that sucker zip across it and onto the floor in no time! Im sure the cursor will move nicely then. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] checkbox111:

i have rooted my G2 before, however, i broke it n had to get a new one. didnt have any issues at all. but now, with my new G2, when i am attempting to perm root it, instead of getting the error that says (function not implemented), i am gettin an error that says (exec format error).

i have no idea what the reason is as i am doing everything exactly the same and using the same sd card and root files from the first G2.

anyone kno what may be wrong?

I got my invite too. Ironically the e-mail says:

I have never signed this account into a XOOM, I live in Canada, don't own a XOOM. But I got the invite anyway =)

I signed up originally for the invite by logging into a US VPN. But now that I've been invited, I seem to be able to do 100% everything from my Canadian IP address.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cookw24:
That's brilliant

Congrats to you both!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wpnyc2009:
we have a XOOM build.prop...

Google thinks we have a XOOM because our tabs say we do. ;)

:p

EDIT: my bad, cmstlist says I'm wrong. I don't care enough to check. Go Google XOOM Music!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] altimax98:
I got a invite :) setting it up on my Nook now. I have it on my Droid too :)

I have found that google was wrong. You can listen to it on many devices at one time. I had my wifes Incredible, my droid and my Nook ll playing different songs at the same time from my one account :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
I'm looking at the CM7 build.prop and I don't see anything that implies XOOM. In fact I see the word "passion" in there - it identifies like a Nexus One?

My bad. But really, who cares?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
I just realized. Google recognizes my devices as a "BN Flyer".

They probably think I've gone mad.

Should have changed it to Xoom before signing up.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Arrqh:
This is exactly what happened to me. It's working great without using a VPN on all my devices!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] aschneid:
Are you all running this on CM7, or anybody running it on rooted stock? I tried grabbing the APK from my Evo and it installs but never gives me the authorization screen. If running rooted stock, did you use ManualNooter and if so, what version? I'm on one of the original (or second release) versions, so I'm wondering if it's my build.props file keeping it from working.

I couldn't find it in the market either.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] I Am Marino:
Still wish I got an invite.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] chadillac0000:
Got it. Running great on both my nook and evo. :cool:

(both running CM7)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jewnersey:
using this on my nook and eris

nook it works great, and google recognizes it as BN BN Nook Color

on my eris it runs decent on wifi, but takes a little longer to get going when im on 3g. plus the eris sucks.

trick i learned was to select an album, then pause and let it buffer through almost a whole song before i let it play the album.

i've written google countless reports about things i think should be different, but all in all im pleased.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] gruey:
I got an invite also on my google account not associated with any android device. I set up a second google account for my android devices to better sync contacts.

I think the invites are just going down the list of people who signed up, or at least a list sorted by some non-android related order. I did sign up pretty early, i think, since I was paying attention to google IO when it was announced.

All-in-all, I haven't been overly impressed with it compared to Amazon's. The big missing feature is that you can't download MP3s after you upload it. The free music they give you was kind of nice though.. i was expecting mostly indy songs, but there were some decent songs there... although some of the decent songs were mediocre live performances from over-the-hill performers :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] psychoace:
They just sent another round of invites and I got one. Installing the music manager now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Nooter:
Just got the invite. Takes forever to upload music, though. Took me a whole night just to upload 2000 songs. At this rate, it's going to take me a whole week to hit the 20k song limit.

Sounds exactly like my experience uploading all of my tunes to Amazon cloud.

So for the ones who have it can you tell me if theres a huge bonus to google music over audiogalaxy? I love my audiogalaxy account and there's no need for upload
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] frankusb:
Important: Install Audiogalaxy on only one computer and be sure to leave that computer turned on, and not in sleep or hibernate mode.

That is not a requirement for Google Music.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] alershka:
I got in the beta today too. It seems to work my droidx but on my NC it just indicates that I don't have any music on my device. Bringing up the menu doesn't show the settings menu where I can enter my google account info. Any thoughts? I'm running CM7 84.

Thanks.

Edit: ok, I reloaded the app and it prompted me for my credentials. Strange.

FC's on Phiremod?

Is anyone else getting FC's trying to run the Google Music app under Phiremod?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] taylor.fowler:
Yep. not when I hadn't linked it to my music beta account, but when i linked them, nothing but FC's.

I'm gonna try deleting the Original Music.apk and see if that fixes it.

Edit: So here's what i did to fix it:

1) deleted the old music.apk using Root Explorer

2) reboot

3) Add the music widget somewhere on your homescreen, it will load

4) hold your nook in portrait orientation (i have mine locked in landscape, and i think that's what was messing with it) and click the track title on the widget

5) Music opens without FC (yay!)

6) switch views (to genre or album or something)

7) rotate back to landscape

8) switch back and forth between a few views

9) enjoy the app
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Marc_Ant1:
Anyone got an extra invitation? I got the Apps but without the account it's just a music player.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liam.lah:
There are no transferable invites, you have to request an invitation from the google music web page.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cmstlist:
At some point in the last few weeks, most or all Music Beta users received the option to invite two people max.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] liam.lah:
Indeed you are correct. Marc_Ant1, if you still need an invite, pm me your email.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] riceatusc:
I'd appreciate an invite if anyone has an extra laying around
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] irisclara:
PM me your email if you still need one but I suggest you look into Grooveshark first. Google Music requires you to upload your stuff and they say they'll start charging at some point. Grooveshark already has a massive amount of music so you only need to upload what they don't already have and with TinyShark for mobile you don't need to pay anything.
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
Hey guys - I am having a problem with my phone, and I am hoping someone can help? :) (Running stock/no-root, w/2.3.4)

A few weeks prior to the 2.3.4 release (while on 2.3.3), I noticed that an app called Bump was constantly running in the background (even though I had never launched the app before), and I'd have to constantly go in and manually kill it.

*Also I should note, Google Maps was another constant running app, that I would have to manually kill along with the Bump app.

This got tiresome, and since I wasn't using Bump anyway, I went ahead and uninstalled it. I figured that a recent update to the app/Bump, was the cause. After removing the Bump app, the problem went away (as well as the Google Maps stopped running in the background too - odd I know).

Anyway, the problem is back, but much worse this time - as this past couple of days, my phone is now running a bunch of apps in the background out of the blue! :confused:

1) Tango

2) To Market Lite

3) Google Market (even though I have Accounts & Sync/Background Data turned off)

4) Google Music

5) YouTube

6) Photaf

*Note: I have not launched any of the apps listed above in awhile, except for Google Market, which I turn on Background Data for this, and then turn off when I am done.

I have since removed Tango, but it hasn't solved the problem. It seems to happen the most when I turn my phone on (after I reboot, or if I charge over night with the phone turned off), but also will happen when phone is on during the day - with no reboot.

Anyone have an idea what's causing this, or how to fix it? TIA! :D
[Nexus S General] patrixl:
The best way to fix this is to stop worrying about it.

Apps do sometimes run in the background or have services waiting for some events to happen - it actuially HELPS battery life and performance and barely consumes any CPU cycles until something happens that triggers the app.

Killing them will drain your battery and make you crazy, more than letting the apps work as designed will.
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
Thank you for the feedback. I just found it odd that this just started happening, especially since some of the apps running were apps I haven't launched in ages (or ever used).

Also (and I forgot to mention in my post above), that a couple of the apps were running so hardcore - that it set off the alarm in Watchdog, as an app draining my battery and memory - telling me to kill it. So idk what to think, other than I find this behavior a bit odd. :confused:
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
Many of them are set to run based on conditions, like bootup, wifi on, widget added, etc. If you hate it, download autostarts from the market.

i have a similar issue but as stated above i just leave them alone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
I will be returning the g2x and leaving to sprint.

Yesterday I received my 3rd unit. Now I have never had the other 2 past any remorse period.

The phone had finger prints on it. Ding! First flag.

I mean crusted finger prints. Like food leaves on a phone.

Then the after removing the screen protector there are clear hairline scratches in the center bottom part of the screen.. like its been dropped and the polished.

The scratches still very visible.

Tmo sent me a refurbished phone.

I was told its showing as new. But there may have been a mix up at the factory and a refurbished unit may have been sent.

Well that person should stop eating cheetoes before packaging phones.

I'm getting my refund. I'm leaving my grandfathered plan of my faves 89.00 a mnth.

To sprint for unlimited everything 79.00 a mnth.

I just want a working product. I never received a NEW working product like I paid for.

And now I'm getting used scratched up replacements.

Ill be looking to Sprint honestly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ozkerr:
Have fun with 400 minutes..... should find out what your plan provides you first. Unlimited mobile minutes and 400 anytime.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Good luck with that. I just left Sprint and will never go back...

Compare the level of complaints between T mobile and Sprint, I think it is really clear how bad Sprint is. Go to the forums at Sprint.com and see. People are REALLY angry. Myself included. Then look at T mobiles. People complain, of course. But not nearly at the same level. Not even close.

I was a customer from 2007 to 2009. When there was a huge error on my bill, I told them my contract was expired and I'd be leaving. I had bills to prove when I had signed my contract, yet they informed me I had several months left on it.

I waited that two months out and ran from them as fast as I could. I heard "That's what our records indicate" so many times I throw up in my mouth just thinking about it. It was awful.

Stupidly, I went back this past April. I was having issues w/ MetroPcs and the Samsung Indulge.

I just got through with a horrible horrible 3 weeks dealing with a bunch of jerks at Sprint.

I invoked the guarantee and left. Triple checked that I owed nothing.

Got a bill yesterday.The full months bill past due.....and they said I owed JUST the insurance to this months due.

Called Sprint really upset. The rep assured me he'd deleted it and that I owed nothing. After I railed about how really bad my experience was, he assured me that Sprint was sorry and hated to see me go. He was SO sorry that he would delete the "unexplained" six dollars left due on my account!!!! This right after he's just assured me my account was zeroed out! Unbelievable.

Be afraid. Really afraid. My experience was bad. Read the posts at their own forums.

Since I've left, I've sent them many notes detailing my experience. Have yet to receive a reply. Sprint DOESN'T care.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lawnmower:
You will love sprint. I've been a customer for over 5 years. And as for the 400 anytime minutes, that's obviously 400 anytime minutes to LAN lines because we have free "any mobile, anytime" minutes. Plus nights start at 7pm for us, not 9pm like T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ozkerr:
Yes. But for 10 dollars more I don't have to be worrying about anything (79.99 truly unlimited plan). In the other hand your precious 69.99 plan can cost you a headache. Besides if your in xda you have to know that Tmobile has the best android phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VisedMonk:
I switched from Sprint to T-Mo not too long ago, and all I can say is that my experience with Sprint was horrid at best (really, does anyone truly like their wireless provider). Here's my rundown, but of course ymmv:

-Customer "care" was routinely rude.

-Roaming charges would show up on my bills even though I had an unlimited plan w/o roaming.

-It would take several billing cycles to clear up errors.

-Had to jump through multiple hoops to get warranty repairs done.

-Accused of deliberately damaging phone by a Sprint repair technician.

-Was told by Sprint repair technician he couldn't work on my phone bc there was evidence I rooted it, even though I had re-locked the bootloader, placed stock recovery image on phone, deleted root apps, and removed sd card before taking to repair center.

-A couple of dropped calls a day.

-SMS & MMS messages not being delivered or duplicates of messages.

-Slow "3G" network speed.

-Non-existent "4G" even though I lived in a "4G" area w/ an allegedly strong signal.

Need I go on? I'm not saying that T-Mo is the best ever, but imao, it is far superior to Sprint. Maybe VZW would be better, but their plans are just too expensive. Have they really hassled you about the returns? Probably not. It took my 3 tries to get an acceptable G2x; T-Mo never hassled me or busted my balls about it. Should they have quality controlled better w/ the unit they sent you? Absolutely.

My advice would be to stick w/ T-Mo and keep exchanging that bugger until you get an acceptable unit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Sprint sucked from day 1, and still sucks. I will go back to verizon before I ever choose sprint.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
My experiences were PRECISELY like this. And these things are the exact things seen at Sprint.com. Seriously....JUST LOOK THERE.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] magnum_touchpro:
i left sprint, horrible customer service was my main problem. and i like the use of sim cards. i swear sprint has reps in india

sprint messes up on your bill alot, i had to call in alot to get stuff fixed and i dealt with so many prorated charges.. they were cheap tho lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokyomonster:
Experiences will differ from person to person, but I came back to T-Mobile from Sprint for the G2x and couldn't be happier (even though my phone has a few problems).

Things I disliked about Sprint:

Awful customer service

3G speeds that are 1mb down or less. If you want faster, you have to turn on the battery sucking 4G. You think our G2x's die fast? Try using any Sprint phone with WiMax enabled for more than 2 hours and get back to me.

Spotty 4G coverage. I live in Houston, and you'd think that since it's a pretty big city, we'd have solid 4G coverage. Nope! Unless you're in a spot that you know has 4G and you're not moving, it's useless. Don't bother using it while driving

Equipment. I'm a GSM fanboy. SIM cards make life 100 times easier.

Either way, best of luck.
