[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
The double-letter glitch with the stock Android keyboard (and with other keyboards that have adopted the code to the stock Gingerbread keyboard, like Better Keyboard 8) is becoming obnoxious.

It happens so frequently, and not even when typing that fast either. It seems to happen only with the first letter of words... "like tthis" for example, but it'll also happen with the first two letters of a word... "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when this happens with only two letter words, like... "I'm going toto the movies."

It's insane how frequent these glitches occur. And I'm not alone. A search in other forums of other phones running the stock Android keyboard will show threads about this exact issue as well.

A while back I filed a report to Google. If anybody is also experiencing this, please star the report, share, and even add your own experiences if you wish: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755

I even made a video a while back to show Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk

It's discussed more in length on this old thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11403637&postcount=168

This glitch has got to be addressed and fixed.

I have this problem as well. Have left a reply on the Google report. Really hope it gets fixed as its beginning to spoil my experience with this great phone!

Yea this is really annoying. When I was using Swift Key for a while it wasn't noticeable but now that I am back on the regular keyboard it is annoying as hell.

So I just got a brand new 32GB Kingston SDHC and every time I copy any music onto it, it takes the time to do so, but once I disconnect it, there is none on my card. Even when I connect it again to the computer to see if its there, its not. Any ideas on whats going on? Other files do go on and stay on, but not music (mp3 to be exact).

EDIT:

I have noticed that every time I do the transfer, the LOST.DIR folder fills up and when I look at the files within it using ES File Explorer they are my music files. Any ideas now, or do I need a new card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNarsingh:
Bump anyone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
Did you format the card at all? this can be done right from the phone. It will completely erase anything on there, and then android will build the folders as it needs them.

From the phone, Menu>settings>sd card & phone storage>press "unmountSD card">then press "Format SD card"

From a PC

i) Get a micro SD adapter

ii) unmount your microSD card and take out of phone

iii) put your micro SD card into your adapter and put into your computer's card reader (if you have one)

iv) go to "my computer" and right click on the SD card

v) select "format"

You can try NTFS, but I think, and I could be wrong, that the phone only supports Fat32.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Did you buy it from an authorized retailer? Or from a place like ebay? What you described is a tell-tale sign of a faked card. Its so easy to take a 2gb card, and paint on a number 3 onto it to make it look like a 32gb card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNarsingh:
Yup, tried it and still no music, any other ideas?

I did get it from ebay, but it was from a store and came in a sealed package. And that doesn't explain why it shows 32GB on the computer and phone, any other ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Its possible you may have a dud. You can try re-formatting as fat32 and if it doesn't work, I'd ask for an exchange/refund.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNarsingh:
Ok, I have formatted several times and all that happens is some of the music will copy to the card, but not all of it. However, I have noticed that every time I do the transfer, the LOST.DIR folder fills up and when I look at the files within it using ES File Explorer they are my music files. Any ideas now, or do I need a new card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
try deleting the folder, then re-copy the files.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
There you go, I'm 99 percent sure you got a fake. NEVER buy memory cards from ebay. Always buy from authorized retailers.

It doesn't matter if it's from a store or a person, both are capable of selling fake cards. And anyone with a hair dryer can re-seal a package, or they can just buy new ones for a few pennies.

Most fake cards WILL show 32gb. There is a file or something built into the card that can be faked to show a bigger capacity. It's very easy for even the dumbest hacker to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNarsingh:
Yea, I've tried everything and just can't get it to work. I'm currently trying to get a refund and went ahead and bought one off the Kingston website.

Im wondering if this will sell at a good price, if anyone wants it-message me or bid on it thanks.

The reason im selling it cuz I prefer physical keyboards like the g2.

Confirmed: Motorola To Make Bootloaders On Current Devices Unlockable In "Late 2011"

A few months ago, Motorola announced that its "portfolio of devices" will be graced with unlockable/relockable bootloaders in late 2011. However, there was some confusion over whether this concerned future handsets only or current devices as well.

Yesterday, Ausdroid reported that unlocked bootloaders will be coming to all existing Motorola Android devices (or rather, those still on Moto’s update schedule) later this year via a software update. Needless to say, this was excellent news, and it had many a DROID X user jumping for joy.

To confirm, androidpolice.com reached out to Motorola – here’s what it got in response:

Motorola has announced we will enable an unlockable/relockable bootloader in future software releases where channel and operator partners will allow it. It is our intention to include the unlockable/relockable bootloader in software releases starting in late 2011.

Again, excellent news all around – so long as your device hasn’t been update-forsaken, that is. Also, much as we hate to rain on anyone’s parade, the big caveat in Motorola’s original statement remains – "where channel and operator partners (aka carriers) will allow it." You’d better hope your carrier secretly has a soft spot for modders.

However,it remains to be seen whether it reaches the defy because since defy has already got the froyo update, I doubt whether now defy is on their update list for gingerbread and unlocked bootloaders in late 2011?:(
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
My guess is Moto will unlock the Defy and their other current devices. This whole unlocking thing was startd by users of current Moto devices, i.e. Irwin Proud, in the first place.

Moto would lose a big part of their whole customer-base if they decide to release the unlocking update for new devices only.

They're not THAT stupid, I hope.
[Defy General] :
Thanks for the news. Gingerbread is the highest version many existing handsets will get. Now that the next version of Android "Ice Cream Sandwich" is in horizon manufacturers can safely unlock the bootloaders since the old handsets have had served their business purpose. In above quote I don't read that Motorola are saying the new handset will be unlocked or the same policy will apply through out, may be some where in the remaining article already said that. I hope it does but I'll will wait to find out the small prints first.

As far as I'm concerned the bootloader was a business strategy so now we have to see how they are going to recover the money from us.

Hello all

This is my first post here, but I have been reading a lot for some days now

So this is the issue

Some days ago I bought on ebay from a reputable seller the sgs2 stated as unlocked for all networks. This is a UK phone but I am located in portugal, and I use a vodafone sim card

Much to my surprise I was greeted with the O2 logo when turning it on.. oh well.. no big issue on that but...! right after entering my sim card pin code it asked for a network lock control key.!

Trying to avoid too much assle for being a newbie in android I bought an unlock code from mobileunlocked, and well, it didn´t work! says "requesting network unlock" over a fraction of a second and then right afterwards "network unlock request unsucessfull"

Ok, so I went the hard way and read all about firmware and rooting at the android development part of the forum

Was able to flash the XWKE7 / baseband XXKE4 with odin, was able to root it with intratech´s thourough instructions, no more O2 startups or logos, even installed the galaxy S2 sim unlock (it finds the same unlock code I got before, and it is probably right)

but.... the dam unlock code question does not go away, so I have no mobile network at all!

Seems it tries to communicate with O2 for the unlocking but of course I am nowhere near the UK..

So I have a fantastic up to date piece of brick in my hands!

Could someone please help, how can I get over this network unlock code ?

I am running out of options, please help!

best rgds
[Galaxy S II General] steve228uk:
Buy a code from somewhere online instead. They're more reliable then the app unlock.
[Galaxy S II General] wardy:
Samsung phones can be locked by 4 methods methods but generally the first three are what you are interested in .

1. [NCK] Network lock

2. [SCK] Subset lock

3. [SPCK] SP lock

4. [MCK]

o2 generally only lock down NCK

1 ensure you have down the correct IMEI number , when you got your network unlock code was it just the unlock code they gave you or did they supply the above too.

2. you do not need to have an O2 sim to unlock as the procedure means you need to put a different sim in to enable the codes .

3 mobileunlocked.co.uk are very good and if you contact them they will be able to help you . Send them an email .

Hope this helps but just make sure you entered the correct IMEI number *#06# from the start .
[Galaxy S II General] ninogui:
good morning

indeed they do, I bought from them. I had to enter the MCK and then the NCK

how could I know ? lolol

also thank you guys for your prompt help

Written by XDA member BRKotucs

To fix installing problems:

If you're running any version of Swype, first make sure to delete it's data before removing the actual application /uninstall app and it's libs then reboot in recovery and wipe both caches .after doing that you can go ahead and install the themed Swype of your choice. You wouldn't have any force closes if you do it this way. If you are using Swype on your phone for the first time, reboot in recovery wipe both caches/reboot the phone/install Swype (just install it and don't do anything else) /reboot in recovery/wipe both caches again/fix permissions/reboot the phone/enable Swype in keyboards (nothing else)/enable input and choose Swype / go into settings while in the keyboard to choose language, preferences etc...

This should work like a charm as it has worked for me in more than a dozen of different phones using both methods.
[Android Themes] y3mita:
well I must've done something wrong as it did not work on my g2x.. This is what I didi:

downloaded beta from swype site and installed on my phone

downloaded your morph to my sdcard

followed instructions precisely as per your page above: copied data/app com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk to sdcard and renamed to Swype.apk

Then moved to system/app folder

extracted your morph with metamorph and apply theme.... then apply theme again

then took swype.apk and copied it back again to sdcard and rename as the original file com.swype....blah

then I moved renamed file to data/app leaving me with two apks in my system.. one under system/app as swype.apk and one in data/app as com.swype.android...etc.etc..

rebooted

opened drawer and select Swype installer, all I get is the login option to install Swype again! I do not get the option to re-license...

See why I couldn't use twiiter for this? haha

Thank you.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Ok I see what went wrong... At the end there should be 2 files

System/app/Swype.apk

and

Data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk

then use the installer to register again...Might not be needed but I did it per another site that said it would need to!!! Hope that helps!!!;)
[Android Themes] y3mita:
to register again? When I press the swype installer and login it ask me to download swype again and then it will overwrite app... Is this what you are saying?
[Android Themes] wctaylor79:
That is where I am at. I get the morph to work. I know this cause the icon changes to show that the theme was done. Then when I reboot I go to "re-license" and I only get the option to log in. This forces me to download the app again which overwrites the file and all is lost at that point.. ?

Edit: To start i guess I should say I am using Thunderbolt: Tried several things from clearing cache and installing in both system/app and data/app. Everything that could be done to get it to work. Still nothing. I found that if I left a copy of the swype.apk in the system/app that it would give constant force close. The only way to stop that is to put the themed version in the data/app and delete the themed version from system/app. Problem then is when you go to register again it forces to download and overwrites the themed version. So.. any ideas??
[Android Themes] y3mita:
Well I've tried it two times and I'm sure once instructions are polished a bit more we would be able to make it work, lets just wait for the dark master.

ALL requests are priority unless I say I won't do them at all! I just think it was a bit harsh to say I push them aside. I'm done with the themes I wanted to do personally that's why I'm taking requests for new ideas. I already have been working on all the requests to get them done as soon as I can. I just haven't had as much time as I wanted lately with issues I've had with my electric company and the holidays. I also have other themes I'm working on too that need updates. If I'm not fast enough on the requests then someone can always search how to edit the images and do them instead! That kind of assumption makes me not want to do them at all!
