You need to go into the following..

Settings

Manage applications

Select 'home' app..

Click on clear defaults.

Press home key..

Voila.

[Xperia Arc General] daveybaby:
Hardly launcherpro's fault - it's behaving perfectly according to the rules.

Sony Ericsson Home is set to the default launcher, so if you want to change launchers you have to clear the defaults for the launcher. You wont get the choice otherwise (which makes sense, you wouldnt want it asking you *every* time you pressed home would you)?

[menu] -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> Sony Ericsson Home -> Clear Defaults

Now if you press home you get the choice, enabling you to choose a different launcher as default if you like. This is all that apps like Homeswitcher, homesmack etc are doing.

edit: heh, iceman got in there while i was writing this - must type faster!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Ive seen MS chose to combine IM and SMS and to me this looks really messy.

First of all the integration of IM is quite nice but I wish it was kept seperate from SMS conversations since these are to the majority of people still different than IMs and used on different devices or apps. I dont want to continue a conversation automatically on a different app or something. This will be very annoying to the other user.

Certainly if somebody just left his/her pc on or IM on accidently....

They should have added facebook private messaging as well and IM/SMS seperated like it was and just added a chat pivot in the messaging hub.

to me an sms is still something every user has always with him her, like when u send somebody an address or something it should be on their phones and not deliverd trough IM and its annoying having to switch first.

Its kind of short sighted implementation, the idea is good but the reality will be very annoying the way it works now.

you will get a ton of sms like notifications for every IM which can be annoying since on a chat conversation people send much more messages per minute than trough sms. Having to toggle online offline all the time will be a pita

am i the only one who thinks this will be garbage? Instead they should have allowed third party apps like whatsapp to use this on user permission. I hope I can switch off the live messenger. Or just revert back to the original sms screen
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
I like the idea to have an overview of my messages regardlessly whether they come via SMS, Windows Live or Facebook. Although I agree that getting notifications for all those messages shown on the SMS tile would be kind of overwhelming. But I can imagine Microsoft changes the way the tile works. So it still shows the number of SMS, but in addition to that shows an icon or something when you recieve a chat message from Facebook or Windows Live.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeeam:
In my opinion.. the best feauture ever, of every OS. Loved that!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
I love it as well, and think its nice not to have to go to 4 different places for my facebook, text, wlm & (eventually skype).

While I hope they either have a toggle setting for separate 'rows', or add it soon after Mango for those who really don't like it, I honestly doubt they want to mess it up by having too many places for messages. It fits in pretty perfectly with their vision for the overall UI design imo.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylau90:
For me,M$ thread is not a new idea,it just copying the messaging app in the HP webos...however HP webos messaging is better,they can download apps that support HP connect and integrate into the messaging app(so,this means they can have more than 1 im clients in 1 messaging app).

Feel so sorry to HP webos,always being copied by others,even the UI design of playbook has been copied
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
Threading will be the beginning of the end for SMS IMNSHO. Most people still use SMS because it's what they know and are used to.

My wife is a great example, she keeps sending me SMSes while I'm out because that's what she's used to. Even though I've had email (and to some extent IM) on my phones since forever. With a "messaging hub" it takes all the guesswork out of the equation - she'll write the message as she normally does and the phone will decide whether it should deliver via FB, Messenger, Skype or SMS.

Now, if you don't want to continue the conversation if the user has moved to a different device you don't have to. The phone will tell you how the message was sent as well as what services the recipient is currently logged on to.

This just proves my point - you're used to SMS. And again, you can choose whether to send as SMS or IM.

Personally I find this feature great. Two things should be done to make it even better though;

1. Implement a industry-wide protocol so it doesn't matter if you're on a crackberry, iphone or windows phone. Sure, Skype and Messenger goes a long way towards achieving this but there are still people who use smaller IM services only.

2. Allow third-party apps to hook in to the messaging hub - there's a few apps out there today that are not chat apps as such but still implement messaging. Being able to receive (and reply to) these messages from the same place would be great. It would also make it easier for other IM services to integrate with the OS.

But why? Are you less likely to want to read a message coming in thru Messenger than one delivered via SMS? I for one don't care how my messages are delivered, I just want to be notified. It's a bit like having three post boxes outside your house - one for deliveries by DHL only, another for Deutsche Post and a third for everyone else - i.e. pointless :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
I really like this new feature as well. I am confident that any replies you send to someone will use the same service they used to "text" you, unless you choose to change it. People on non-WP7 phones won't suddenly need to be jumping all over the place.

On the other hand, when other people send you messages from multiple sources (SMS, FB, WLM, etc), you will be able to get all of the messages in one convenient place. I like that.
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
I am getting crazy CPU usage from Android OS, which is currently sitting at 52% battery usage. The CPU time of Android OS is between 20 and 30 minutes per hour! I have tried freezing many apps, I have tried task killers, rebooting etc. I have WKE7 firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
android os does use more than the rest, unsure why, but somehow the battery ife is still pretty good

http://goo.gl/cyd1T

KE7 (stock kernel) , full sync on google stuff + 1 email on push + auto brightness + about 1H of display on time on this, 1d20min and 68% left.

sent 3-4 sms and did a bit of various stuff since yesterday.

Seen worse lol
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
I would be very happy with that kind of batterylife. Sadly, my phone loses about 35% battery while I'm sleeping. With medium usage, I would usually reach 12 hours of battery.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
i rate my battery life to smth like "amazing" xD
[Galaxy S II General] vitalij:
Yes for me battery life on sgs2 is also very nice - I'm comparing to sgs and it is about 20% better. My heavy usage today was 5 hours of screen on with wifi, some gps, 2h of gaming, skype running for about 3h, and battery run for total 9h. Also I use 2 push email accounts and sync is on. I think thats really good. And typically when I sleep in 8h battery is drained for about 8% with all email and google syncs active. So this is also quite good. All that on KE7. Most of samsung bloatware frozen.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Been trying to keep away from these battery threads, but noticed today that I've gone from android system 12% to 30% and I've no idea why.

Still on KE2, and am probably a "light user" - black wallpaper, brightness 20%, screen timeout 2 minutes, some phonecalls, lots of SMS, music - lots of Poweramp - shown a few photos, occasional wifi, GPS ca. 30 minutes per day, don't sync, don't use my carrier's dataplan, no e-mail as yet, and no Facebook/Twitter/games/Social hub/accuweather etc ever - in fact they were uninstalled on day 1.

Got 36 hours from my last charge, am now on 79% after 16 hours. Still happy with it, but no idea what has caused this spike.... Will keep an eye on it.

My $0.02 worth.
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
I am really starting to wonder why some people have amazing batterylife, while others are having terrible battery life. I would be very happy with 18 hours with 4 hours of screen usage, but instead I am barely scratching 12, today has been even worse. 10 hours with 3 hours screen usage...
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
So far mine is 2hr 15 mins screen on time, mostly browsing on 3G, 13 hours on battery, and have 29% remaining. Its OK, but I wouldn't describe it as amazing. Roll on 2.3.4
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
the thing is on android battery life largely depend on apps and setup anyway
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
Yeh, I know. But I feel like I have optimized my setup as much as I can. No autosynching, email check every 2 hours, facebook, twitter and RSS updates ever 4 hours. No GPS, automatic screen brightness, wifi sleep on. No widgets pulling real time info.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
mine has the stock weather widget and animated background - also wifi always on (that prolly actually helps ..)

also i used some gps,played short videos, youtube, recorded some vids and took a few pics (you can see i used it more heavily today in the graph)

im supposing a lot of this goes as android system (bug?) cuz its certainly intensive and isnt in the list (not even lower)

current status:
[Galaxy S II General] leedavis:
Get rid of the auto screen brightness. I find brightness of 10% makes a huge difference. This samsung screen might look great but in fact it's practically useless as it drinks power
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
with ke7 as u can see auto brightness doesn't seem an issue for me anymore

i like it because i don't need to set the brightness in sunlight when it's auto hehe
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
What is your CPU time on Android OS vs. total battery time? Right now my phone has been on for 2 hours and 14 minutes, and CPU time in Android OS is 43 minutes!
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
If you've read through the majority of these threads, what's weird is that some of you that have uninstalled and/or frozen specific apps are getting worse battery times than those of us that are bone stock and have everything whirring in the background. As an example I use Wi-Fi a lot and also Kies Air and connect to a Blu-ray player using Wi-Fi Direct. The Wi-Fi Sharing app never appears in my running apps after I turn Wi-Fi off. Yet some of you with tweaks that don't use Wi-Fi have it randomly appearing and eating up CPU time.

I've kept up with this thread and other battery threads and for every "ah-ha!" moment there's a post following it showing worsening or no improvement. Somewhere in one of the three battery threads there were some tweets from Google acknowledging the problem in running 2.3.3. with dual-core processors. I think other than for the mad scientist fun factor we're just beating a dead horse and 2.3.4. is going to have to be our salvation. There's not even any assurance that a cooked ROM sans all the Samsung tweaks would work any better if the issue really is a core-OS problem.

Back to our ongoing debate...

I bought sygic aura. He finds everything, points of interest, addresses, petrol stations, shops but my current location three blocks differs from the actual location. Even when I'm in the car nothing happens. My arrow is not with me. What is the problem here? is because the GPS is not designed for the HTC HD mini android?

[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
Which version did you install? And did it work, except for the gps of course?
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:

[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i have still no gps signal. cable is connected, gps not working in WM and android. i have tried every thing realy everything nothing work.
[HD Mini Android Development] jomaga:
GPS works! I tried with Sygic Aura, Igo MyWay and working perfect so far, very quick GPS fix.

Turn GPS on and try with GPS status from market. Should fix GPS signals very fast
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
no there is something with my gps. it worked always no problems, but now for about 3 months my htc don't have any signal, even on WINDOWS MOBILE No signal. so i let it be , just wait 8 months than can i go for a new phone. . I now used my nokia N95 for navigation:):):):):)
[HD Mini Android Development] jomaga:
Which WinMo ROM do you have? Have you changed it 3 months ago? :)
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
no , i had the lastest winmo version, now the oldest because i used a hard reset. so i guess i have on this moment the oldest. but i had this one a while ago : _HTC HD Mini_RUU_Photon_HTC_NLD_1.36.404.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship
[HD Mini Android Development] Wowser:
For GPS issues, the first post in the tutorial "Install Android on HTC HD Mini" under the heading of known issues states in red font: GPS software in WM will not find satellites if you turn off GPS from location settings in Android

You should try the solution that is detailed in this thread. You have to follow this step even if you reflash any WM6.5 stock ROMS because reflashing won't fix the GPS issue. I know this from experience.

It is also discussed at length here

It is assumed you are using the latest build of Android for HD Mini. If there are continued issues, try a completely clean install (remove all old Android files from your SD card). If you still can't get GPS (both in Android and WM6.5), then maybe consider it is a hardware fault.
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
im sure it's a hardware fault. i have yesterday buy a adapt bluetooth gps and it is working fine. Fast fix even in the house. I think my internal GPS is dead. I used a lot . Almost 4 hours a day, 1 year long.
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
I guess drivers are different for a BT GPS when compared to the internal one. So if the BT works, it does not ay anything about the internal gps?
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
but that my internal gps not finding satalites says enough? i tried everything really day in day out. are there drivers for the internal gps ?
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
I would say if you do a hard reset in WiMo then you should see at least some satellites. Did you also try the app androsensor in Android? That tells you the status of all sensors, including the gps (i.e. location and number of sats). In that case you don't need a program like Sygic to check it. It works quite nice. Maybe worth checking?
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
im gona instal androsensor, i always work with elixir there you can also check the gps status. but im gonna try it.
[HD Mini Android Development] superzuan:
i have install androsensor. but at location not found my location. speed unavailable.satalites in range :0
[HD Mini Android Development] pwel:
looks bad. I understood you opened the device since you had issues with the proximity sensor? Are you sure you didnot damage any antenna cable or connector? I know there are 2 of them that are quite vulnerable, don't know where they are for.

thnks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
It's due to old hardware. Using a Custom ROM with an overclock MAY smoothen the framerate of some games, but, it's still nowhere close to what one expects.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonhyxda:
Hi

As 3xeno said is due to old hardware.

Games that require a lot of graphics do not work on wildfire.

Overclocking can a little better but still it is normal to not work correctly.

thanks for the quick reply.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
In that case, I dont think changing ROMs will help. It can only help a bit only if it works by default, but at extremely slow rates. The Wildfire should be your last choice if you intend to use it for gaming. Can't give you more specifics, since I haven't really tried that game.

In the settings menu of the camera, there is an option to toggle the anti-shake feature. When toggled on the screen and resulting image appears darker. It also seems that the feature does not alleviate the "shakes". Does anyone know whats going on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbrown77:
Mine does the same. Think it is to do with the iso stabilisation technique used and is normal. It speeds the image capture up over the norm to stop blur. So in low light the sensor can't get enough light and becomes darker.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinkthesink:
Sounds reasonable :) you haven't happened to hear the phone/camera make a noise? Almost like a click after previewing an image. It's definitely not coming from the speaker.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbrown77:
Yes I have heard the click from the camera. I think it is something to do with the auto focus but not certain. I don't like hearing the sound because it makes me wonder if something is going to break but I'm guessing it is normal because I have read of others hearing it. It doesn't do it often and I can't remember when mine is more likely to make it.

Uncheck the partition box. Whenever it's grayed out, it means that for one of your options you haven't met the pre-reqs. For example partition requires a PBL, SBL and a recovery file I believe. Error -12 after clicking start refers to a driver issue.
