Hi I currently reside in the USA and spotify (because of the darned record companies) has not made its way over here yet. I heard that if someone invites your or someone based in the UK or other countries where its supported signs you up you can use the service. So being that the community here on XDA is full of surprisingly generous people I thought I would give it a whack and ask to see if anyone could help me I am willing to donate via paypal if someone truly can help!

Hey everybody, when i set my wallpaper to live weather the live wallpapers do one animation and at the time animation loops the wallpaper freezes, and keep freezed.

I think that's what it's supposed to do. It runs the animation once each time the phone is unlocked. An option to have it looping continuously would be good, though.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Action_Man_1:
Hi All.

I've had an X10 mini pro on T-Mobile UK for nearly a year, and love it, but I am faced with a problem:

At work, I get absoluteley no signal. However, there are Wifi networks everywhere that are freeley available. It seemed logical to me that I aught to be able to get my phone to use those wifi networks to obtain a signal, so I did some research and found this generally to be reffered to as UMA (Unliceneced Mobile Access?)

For anyone who's coming across this technology for the first time, this is a facility which allows your mobile phone to use wifi connections as a backup for service signal, and switch seemlessley between them for use on calls (through your regular phone number [NOT VOIP!]) and texts.

I've read a lot of conflicting oppinions and statements on this, and wanted to ask here (In a place of expert knowledge and understanding) what the real truth is behind all this.

1: Is UMA a hardware or software based tool?

-I've heared numerous statements on this, including:

a) "Your phone can not do this if you don't have the correct hardware"

b) "The standard hardware (provided you have wifi access) is all you need, only the software needs to allow support"

C) "You need sufficient wifi technology AND the correct software to enable this"

Which is true?

2: "Service Providers are holding back on UMA support as it removes their justification for charging the user for calls"

- I've seen this in a few places, but it doesn't make sense to me. Sureley, despite the fact that the call is connected by a wifi signal, it still needs to find its way through a telephone exchange. Telephone exchanges cost money to maintain and manage, so that can't be right? can it?

- If anything, sureley this would give service providers a competative advantage as they can guarentee better signal coverage. It would seem more logical to me that the issue is less with the hand set, but with the providers managing the incoming and outgoing call data via the wifi network?

3: "UMA is/isn't supportend on android version X.X"?

- Again, I've seen conflicting info on this. What's the score?

Thought this was the right place to discuss all this and find the real truth behind UMA. My final question of course being:

4: Is there a UMA app or method by which I can use wifi as a signal backup? If not, is anyone looking into it and how soon may users see the benefits?

Appreciate any light that can be shead on this to dispurse the smoke and mirrors that seenm to surround it.

Thanks,

Oliver

hmmm

Supprised noone's responded to this... did I miss something?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Explore3:
In the USA, T-mobile has an app that does this. T-mobile USA uses the term wi-fi calling.

Is there such a thing in the UK? I know that the Optimus T (essentially the same as Optimus One) has this ability. I found this list of phones that work with this feature on T-mobile USA.

I do not think your phone is available through T-mobile USA, so it is not on the list. Someone figured out how to bring wi-fi calling to non-tmobile Roms for the Optimus T/Optimus One phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116268 However, I am fairly certain that this type of app needs the cooperation of your carrier to work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
Try this solution, T-Mobile and Orange have done a deal where they can use eachothers signals, go back to netwoork settings and you should find " T-Mobile-Orange 3G"... Connect to that and it may work.

It seems that T-Mobile and Orange both have very bad coverage compared to other competators.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Now that HTC has announced that they will release their phones with unlocked bootloaders after they received many complaints/requests, what can we do to have ASUS unlock the TF bootloader???
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimton:
I guess we could bombard their facebook page and start a petition...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirumirai:
Isn't the transformer bootloader already unlocked?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Hmm. Maybe I am confusing something here. I thought the bootloader was locked according to this thread but it is possible that something else is locked that prevents free access to all functions!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirumirai:
Oh, maybe it is locked. Lots of confusing information floating around :confused: It shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't start implementing signature checks, but unlocked is always better!

On another note, it's great news that HTC is unlocking their phones! If it reviews well, I'll jump for an Evo 3D :D.
[Thunderbolt General] cliffco823:
Has anyone tried this on the Tbolt? I was a bit fan of mobile shell on my winmo. Is it worth the $15?
[Thunderbolt General] Shumthang:
I found a leaked version of this app and used it for a day on my D2. Is it neat/cool-yes, is it worth $15- no, unless you find yourself using of all the time for months to come

Sent from my TB yo.
[Thunderbolt General] Headshots4life:
I have it on the thunderbolt, it's a very nice launcher. I too was a big fan of it on windows mobile so that's why I bought it, I think it's worth the $15 no doubt. There are cheaper launchers out there but this one is the most stable one I've used, that's why I say it's worth the money.
[Thunderbolt General] Persiandeity:
it is a VERY well done home launcher... worth $15? I'm not so sure... all depends on the user I guess... The reason I wouldn't pay $15 for it is that, although it has some really nice widgets, and a pretty cool 3D effects, the big circle of home pages is really not useable really... the only other big benefit is that you can move apps and widgets around easier, without having to make space for things before you move them... this is really only helpful if you are constantly moving things around on your desktop, which I do not...

other than the 3D home screen selector it doesn't do much that Launcher Pro or ADW don't do for less...

In my opinion...

[HTC Incredible S] randomher0:
Hi I have some really strange problems with accessing my 16 GB SD-card from my PC.

First of all the SD is OK. I can see how much space is used on it in HTC Sync, I can browse the files with Astro and Read/Write to it.

However I can not for the life of me figure out how to access my SD car from my pc. I plug the phone into my pc and choose disc drive. The SD then pops up as a removable disc in MY Computer, it does not say how much space is available or how much I've used. When i try to click on it it says "Please insert a disk into Removable Disc(Q:)"

When I go to Device manager and click properties on HTC Android Phone USB Device it says that the driver is from Microsoft(?) and that the driver Version is 6.1.7600.16385(?)

I figured something happened here and removed the driver, rebooted and plugged in the SD-card that came with the phone into the phone figuring I would install the drivers from the SD, however the Microsoft driver automatically installs itself again and I'm stuck in a loop.

I've also tried my HTC Desire, my HTC Hero and my girlfriends HTC Wildfire same problem.

Any tips on how to fix this? I got some save games etc on another HTC I got (HTC Desire) that I really want to copy to my Incredible S.
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
do you have an ext(2-4) partition on it ? This can cause it. Otherwise try to pull it trough adb (or share through dropbox or alike). And than reformat it. Sometimes it gives weird results in windows and the main fix i found here is to copy it a different way and format it again.
[HTC Incredible S] randomher0:
No ext(2-3) partition on it. I'm starting to thing it's my pc since it's the same problem on 4 phones :/
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Than it probably is your driver or something... have you tried a linux live cd or something to see if it works? With that computer problem i cannot help you, perhaps someone else :p

o yeah, maybe try a different usb port sometimes that works...
[HTC Incredible S] randomher0:
It's definitively my drivers. Tried it on my older laptop (travel-only pc) and it worked like a charm there, now I just have to find out how to get the correct drivers to work on my computer since it didn't work last time ;)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
Reinstall htc sync, replug the phone.

If that don't work, try updating your driver manually, driver should be known

You can also alter the Android Google usb driver (adb) to work with the incredible s. But I'm not going to explain that when typing on my phone hh.
[HTC Incredible S] LIG8$P33D:
Uninstall HTC Sync and use the generic windows driver..... it will detect as a memory drive.... or use Linux enviornment to use ur memory card as a usb drive if u have problems with windows.... !!!:D:D

It works like charm on linux... i use linux so its rather easy... plug and play... no unnecessary sync problems :D:D

[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I just picked up a Nushield DayVue screen protector, mostly for fingerprints than anything else.

I noticed while polishing the tablet before installation that I've got a scratch in the glass. Thankfully it's over the black border and not the screen so it doesn't impact my use at all. If I had to guess I'd say it was caused by something being on the inside of the Acer case when I slipped it over it, and getting dragged across the screen. You know how tight that case is when you slip it over.

If this thing were Gorilla glass I don't think it ever would have happened.

strong glass

There are many different types of so called super strong glass.it really is just a selling strategy. Thou some glass is stronger then others all of it can and will be damaged.especially touch devices.

Be careful even gorillas can be injured if they decide to be careless.Just because something says its better does not mean its damage proof

Gorillas are cute and cuddly
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
gorilla glass doesn't mean scratch proof.

a guy at work was leaning over my desk yesterday and propped his hand on my iconia to reach for something on the other side of the desk... i freaked, but the iconia was unbroken.... which saved the other guy full msrp!
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
True, but you'd think that getting a scratch on the glass while it's in the case and UNDER where the case covers would be pretty darn difficult...

I've seen videos of people dragging keys across Gorilla Glass and not causing damage, and I guarantee nothing near that kind of abuse happened to my A500. It apparently scratched as easy as a cheap window.

With that in mind, I'm double glad I got my screen protector. And I know people have called Acer and been told it is NOT Gorilla Glass despite the posting on Corning's website so there seems to be much confusion of the makeup of our screens.
[Acer Iconia A500] bleez99:
A little off topic, but I would take anything Acer support says with a big grain of salt. I was told that the A500 does not have a GPS receiver and it was impossible to transfer files via USB with a Mac.

No scratches on my A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
there is a GPS on it... slow... but have one

about USB I don't know, coz I have Windows and that works perfect

LOL... bleez99' post above was intended to be read in a sarcasm tone :D
[Acer Iconia A500] lyme:
Actually, if you get a bit of sand stuck between a case and any glass, that is the most likely to scratch as is has a reasonable amount of pressure, the case still will let the tablet wiggle, and it can be there for a while.
[Acer Iconia A500] Alejandrissimo:
agree, is very strong, but is NOT un-scratchable (I dont know is this last word is an english word XD)
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
small pieces of silica such as you'll find in pocket lint will scratch gorilla glass. Also, as you carry the tablet outdoors fine pieces of silica dust may adhere to finger print oils on the screen and scratch it the next time you rub your finger across the screen. If you want your screen to stay pristine, get a protector or clean it gently, regularly
[Acer Iconia A500] Maddmatt:
Galaxy S phone has Gorilla glass and mine is scratched... so Gorilla glass or not, it will get scratched without protection.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Trust me...I got scratches on my tab :( Though I have no clue what happened
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Actually, the true test to see if it's Gorilla glass or not is to take your A500 and bash it over your head. Let us know the results...

Hii , i also got a scratch on my SGS2 , so GORILLA ?? :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
I have some tiny scratches on my SGS but I can't really see them unless I specifically look for them. A friend of mine has a HTC desire, way newer than my SGS but the screen is a disaster. Already full of microscratches and it has that plasticity feel to it.

I'm quite sure samsung uses gorilla (I have 3 scratches that are 2-3mm long) and I saw a guy shoot an air gut at his galaxy tab...

Will probably get a matte protector for the bothersome reflections more than the scratches... perhaps

[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
And you used the hyphen, which makes the 'un' completely acceptable in general conversational writing.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bergen79:
Corning does not claim their glass is "un-scratchable". Only that it is better resistant. They explain it on their site in some more detail.

When I looked for a good MP3 player I came across this video of a "screen test" on a Cowon S9 with Gorilla glass. The guy tries to scratch the screen with keys, a razor blade and a knife. I can't link to the video (anti spam measure..) because I just joined the forum, but you can find it if you look for "cowon s9 screen test".
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Bottom line a gorilla glass device will remain in almost perfect condition after a year with no screen protection. You can compare it to other devices in the light and you'll thousands of micro scratches across the entire surface, almost like an ice skating field from a distance.

That and it is actually the main piece of structural resistance and build quality allowing manufacturers to rely more on plastic which is lighter.

IMHO getting a scratch earlier than 6 months of use is pure bad luck. Either a tight case with a sharp edge or maybe a bag with a forgotten pen/key/coin, but even so the results would require a lot of pressure.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bergen79:
Very true. It also really depends on how careful you are. For example, my colleague and I both bought an HTC Hero phone, which also has Gorilla glass. His screen had lots of scratches after 2 years. Mine only has minor scratches on it. The screen is almost as good as new after nearly 2 years. We both did not use screen protectors.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
I guess HTC Desire HD has the best glass cover I have ever seen.

.....Bought Acer A500 and right away I applied InvisbleShield.....
[Acer Iconia A500] kwongwt:
I am sure Gorilla Glass is scratch-able! My phone (Moto Defy) has Gorilla glass and it has a scratch about 1 CM long. I think it is caused by me carelessly putting it in my jeans' pocket together with my keys. Originally I also have the wrong concept that Gorilla Glass is invincible so I didn't even care to use a screen protector on my phone!
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I have the motorola xt720 which has gorrila glass.....I have had it for almostly a year now.....and there's no scratch....I have used it roughly...but still no scratch...!
[Acer Iconia A500] Markon101:
It's not super glass

The glass can be scratched by even a small dust particle if it is a hard enough substance. If you rub a grain of diamond on the screen it would get a scratch. (Depending on pressure ect)
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
While replacing my Atrix battery cover with a rubberized one I got curious and peeled off the sticker on the at&t cover and I noticed some sort of shield material (see photo)

Would that be an RF shield, heat shield, signal booster, just a sticker?

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] thereal2x:
My guess is that its a heat shield. Anyone else?
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
Probably just the sticker. Why would you want a heat shield keeping heat in? Wouldn't be rf since it's not grounded to anything else in the phone, and anyone believing those "signal boosters" actually work, I've got some land to sell you. ;)
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Probably something to dampen the signal enough to meet FCC requirements.
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
The foam you see is to keep the battery cover firmly pressed against the phone. Dont want a battery cover that flexes when you press it! Drop it just right and it would shatter without it. Think of it as dynamat for your phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Tao_Man:
just the glue for the sticker
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Good guess, but it actually sits pretty flat so I guess its not that, but who knows, it may be all the thickness it needs right? ;-)
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Definitely some sort of glue, but it has some kind of metal feel to it, almost like tin foil.
[Atrix 4G General] Sir_Brizz:
If it's anything interesting, it is probably a heat spreader, not a heat shield.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
I just got an oem replacement cover (to completely debrand my Atrix) from cnn and it does not have the sticker (nor the speaker grille). I'm gonna use it as is to see if the absent "shield" makes any difference.

The oem rubber cover do have the sticker on.
[Atrix 4G General] Tao_Man:
that type of glue is common on "no tamper" stickers as it is easy to see if someone has removed it. My guess is that the manufacture just has most of its stickers made this way as a SOP kind of thing. I can not imagine they really care if someone takes a sticker off a solid piece of plastic
