Hi Guys

Any of you managed to Turn Off the Sound Effect when WEATHER is chosen as your Live Wall paper ?

I mean you can turn off the Sound Effect when you choose the Weather Widget but in the Live Wall Paper, I could not find a way to disable it it !!!
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Go into Weather app ->> Menu button ->> Settings ->> Sound Effects.

Check that box and you should be good to go :)

EDIT: Oh, that might only work in the widget. Let me test it and get back to you :)

EDIT #2: Got it. Go to apply the live wallpaper in the normal way, then when you're ready to apply it, double click/tap the picture of the wallpaper. This brings up the preview of the wallpaper (red bar across top telling you this). You should see, in the bottom right hand corner, a Settings button. Tap that and you should see two check boxes, one for 'Sound'.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
BRAVO !!!! THANKS ALOT MATE !!!

Now all I need is S-OFF :))
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
better way would be to just hit dude's thanks button :)
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
Where is that Thanks button then ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Look by the other buttons by the 'Quick Reply' one ;)
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
There isn`t a THANKS button available anywhere ?

Could it because I use the Classic view of the Forum ?

[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Sorry about the late reply :)

Get an app like Audio Manager to manage your sounds, vibration, and silent settings.
[HTC Sensation] tomelen:
Thanks

You are the man only my second day with sensation and let me tell you that sound after every unlock had me at boiling point I never previewed the wallpaper just applied it so never seen that options bar I never post like this but had to sign up to say thank you my girl thanks you to now she don't have to hear me complain every time I unlock my phone
[HTC Sensation] nibiyabi:
Sorry to bump a somewhat old thread, but I am having the same problem. I already found that checkbox on my own, but incredibly it has no effect! All I hear all day is the soothing melody of the didgeridoo, and it's beginning to become a bit closer to insanely aggravating. I'm running SynergyROM on my Thunderbolt. Anyone else have the same problem? I've tried switching back and forth, switching and resetting before switching back, etc. to no avail.

[Xperia Play General] MisteS:
Hi. Kinda new to the forums so hello to everyone.

I got my play for quite a while now and was getting annoyed with all the bloatware pre installed in the unit. I'm planning on using Gingerbreak just to get rid of them.

My question is if after using gingerbreak, can you still get the official updates for the phone? also, if not, is it possible to return to a state that you can? Search around but couldn't get a concrete answer to this.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You can go from a gingerbreaked 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 with no problem, although you will loose root and 2.3.3 cannot be rooted yet :)
[Xperia Play General] MisteS:
Thank you for the quick answer. I guess i'll try it then later and get a big chunk of my memory back. :)
[Xperia Play General] Da22a:
I'm patiently waiting for Gingerbreak to be updated to allow 2.3.3 Rooting.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
if you want to move more apps to SD, you do not need root, you can use the ADB command "pm setInstallLocation 2" to force most apps to the SD card :)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
i have a rooted 2.3.3, one of the advantages of having an unlocked bootloader :D
[Xperia Play General] Da22a:
Something to invest time into this weekend then..
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
if your thinking of unlocking your bootloader read the pro's and con's first as there are many :) also alot of sim locked phones cannot unlock there bootloaders yet :)

thank you for your time
[HTC Sensation] Damonkashu:
on my samsung vibrant, I could hold down the lock/power button and it would bring up the shutdown menu, along with a quick silent/vibrate mode option. I don't see any such mode for the sensation, was this a feature of the custom ROM I was using? How else do you quickly switch the sensation to silent?
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Use the Volume Buttons and just press them until it goes into silent/vibrate mode.

Either that or use a widget :)

EDIT: There's a stock widget for it, it's HTC widget number 44 :)

I was looking for this too as this was easily accessible in my HTC Wildfire's power button. Found it, it's the PROFILE widget.

I know this is a feature of CM7 or roms based on their coding, but I haven't really seen much discussion about it.

Does anyone use the block permissions feature? I'm wondering if there's a list or if we can accumulate one of permissions which are safe to deny for the most popular apps out there.

By "ok" do you mean system apps that are alright to block while still allowing the phone to function properly?
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
I haven't used it yet. I'm not sure how you define "OK". When you use this feature, you're intentionally breaking something. That could be ads, or something else you're perfectly happy to break in the name of security, but you're breaking something.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
I work on an android project for my school and we got HTC Desire Z phones straight from HTC.

So now I got some time I wanted to root the phone which is using latest OTA update.

After checking the boot loader I saw I have S-OFF already:

View attachment 627837

View attachment 627838

So can I omit certain parts of this guide then?

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Introduction
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
If you are s-off why don't you just boot the phone, install an apk that will only run if rooted like setcpu or something, and if it works you just saved yourself a lot of time.

Just saying no reason to take a longer road than you need..ya know?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
rooted apps do not work.

Since I apparently have S-OFF can I just flash to a custom ROM which is rooted already?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gascanieto:
Download "ROM Manager" from the Market and try to install Recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!

Is this a bug then that it says S-OFF on boot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Does the bootloader report SHIP S-OFF or ENG S-OFF?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix84118:
I guess I should've posted that line before. :-)

It says:

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

See attached image.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Looks like you have real (i.e. radio) S-OFF. In the past, people gained fake S-OFF by flashing an engineering bootloader, which reported ENG S-OFF.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
If you're radio S-OFF then by far the easiest way to get a custom ROM on it is to make a PC10IMG.zip with a working android-info.txt and a recovery.img (clockworkmod recovery).

Once the recovery image is flashed, just boot to recovery and flash whatever ROM you want, no need to bother rooting to get the custom recovery.

To repeat, this is the biggest advantage of S-OFF. You basically never have to root your phone again, because you can just flash a recovery. And we all know that with the custom recovery you can do anything, including flashing a rooted ROM.

I guess you'd only need to follow parts of the guide if you want SIM-unlock and debranding, but as far as custom ROMs go you are ready to go.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix84118:
Thanks for the response guys!

From my experience with my N1, I agree that once you get a custom recovery, you're free to do anything. I just wasn't sure what had been done to the phone before.

My phone is already SIM-unlocked and debranded (if it ever was) as far as I can tell. Since my AT&T SIM worked perfectly in it (it's not a G2, has no carrier labeling on the device, and has AT&T 3G freqs).

Just to clarify though, I should NOT flash a stock RUU image, as that would relock my radio/hboot. Is that correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
RUU will usually do that, correct
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix84118:
Thanks everyone!

I think I have enough information to proceed safely now. At the moment I'm going to leave it as it is (since it has GB). After playing with SenseUI for a bit, I kinda like it. However it ultimately depends on what my fiancée wants (it's her phone). ;) So far she's not liking the Sense dialer & contacts programs (I don't blame her, I don't like them either). I installed Dialer One for her to see if she can use that. Otherwise I may be flashing CM7.

EDIT:

Back to my original question: How to make it so root programs ask for permission first? It seems like it's probably a /etc/passwd,/etc/group issue. It makes me nervous to have root access doled out to anything that asks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbu:
Hello,

+1 for @ashrack0 questions

My Desire Z is exactly the same, version numbers from first post match 100%. Phone is new, unbranded, S-OFF, 1.82 firmware @ android 2.2.1, it is also unlocked (CID is Super CID).

Basically, I want to overclock it, that means rooting + flashing custom ROM.

What are my options? Do i really have to follow WHOLE wiki guide, downgrade using goldcard (or at least i think i have to use goldcard, because my INFOCID is not on "the list", it just says "super CID"), follow every step in the guide, etc? Will it work (the guide was written with S-ON devices in mind)?

That sounds interesting, could you point me to a guide that explains in details what you are talking about? I'm new here, i've been reading and searching this forum many hours and for now it's quite overwhelming, i would be very grateful for some tips. Thank you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
S-OFF lets you flash any PC10IMG.zip that contains a partition image (system.img, data.img, radio.img, recovery.img, etc) through the bootloader. This is how to typically flash a new radio.

In your case all you need is an android-info.txt (can be taken from any radio zip file in the link above) and the recovery.img of the recovery you want to flash (you can go here, download the zip and extract the img file, then rename to recovery.img). Then just zip the two files together and name the zip file PC10IMG.zip. Then the flashing process is the same as flashing a radio above.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbu:
Thanks a bunch, it worked perfectly and was super easy, i'm now running CM7 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Glad it worked out for ya, and more importantly I'm glad I taught you the significance of S-OFF, the bootloader and how to make PC10IMG.zip's :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
thx for all the help. Have flashed the clockworkmod. And then was able to put SU in /system/bin and install the superuser.apk.

So now I got root access as confirmed by root check app also.

Will play with custom roms later

Due to apply a new screen protector,Any suggestions on best to buy?

The one iam using now is a cheapy off eBay
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
The stock one. Best price/quality ratio IMO. There are slightly better ones but ridiculously expensive. And the invisible shield is crap (at least for the iphone4, and I would never put it on my DHD).
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
Yes, definitely stay away from Zagg & other helicopter-blade-derived solutions. They are good for protecting the body from scratches, but you don't want that sticky, orange-peely screen protector.

My personal favourite over the last few devices I have owned, has been Martin Fields, but it is very expensive.

I have put on the stock HTC one, bought from a local seller on ebay.

The only thing to watch out for when applying it, is that there is a top and a bottom to the screen protector... the top has a slightly different profile compared to the bottom, and the HTC protector at least has the peel-away piece of plastic at the top.
[Desire HD Accessories] tkolev:
I'm just curious - when did you buy the stock protector and does it have the two little bubbles at the top-left corner (where the peel-away piece was)? I'm hoping that HTC corrected their manufacturing line because on the early batches of the protectors (I bought mine Nov 2010) there are the two bubbles.
[Desire HD Accessories] AiKoiN:
HTC original is the best indeed, little expensive but you get quality, had tried alot of others, all damage very fast !
[Desire HD Accessories] david2580:
I recomment the original HTC screen protector. They fit perfectly, but it's kinda hard to put them on without any dust and dirt. I tried it with one protector about 5 times, but had to wash it with water to get off the dirt. After a party, my screen was ****ed up. I don't know why, but I think it was a good idea to use a protector. So I removed it and now I have 3 scratches and a alot of very very small ones.
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
No, neither of the 2 that were in the pack, had bubbles - or unneveness in the top left corner.

I must say that I dislike putting screen protectors on, and the DHD seemed to be the most difficult of the 5 or 6 I have put on, due to how air gets in even if the protector is not aligned perfectly. Got it right eventually though :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Instinctlol:
Weird. I'm using the "ZAGG Invisible Shield HTC Desire HD Skin" for 8 months now and it's still as clear as without it.
[Desire HD Accessories] Juusuhako:
Bought 20 for a few pounds on ebay, the cheap ones work fine like any else. Even though they take scratches to them easy, you can easily wear 'em out for at least 6 months, and then you just apply a new one of your 20! 10 year lifespan is not bad, although I doubt I'll keep my phone for that long! ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] sremaHD:
Must agree with you Juusuhako, also boght some cheap screen protectors, which saved my screen from geting broke when it slipt once from my hands.

For me they last about 3-4 months :)
[Desire HD Accessories] clouds5:

With my previous desire i put a vikuiti DQC 160 and i find it more easy to install.
[Desire HD Accessories] :

Sent from my Desire HD running RCMix3D KINGDOM 1.8
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
I keep mine in the HTC branded leather case. 6 months of daily use, and it's immaculate. I could wipe the screen on my shirt and it would look like it was just unboxed.

I can't say the same for my Topaz, which is scratched, grazed, and chipped all over. Screen protectors protect the screen; Pouches protect the phone.
