reset button

To get the reset button to work you have to really push it in hard Go get it to move

My power button as well seems. Buggy thou I never turn my tab off .its been on since April 24th the day I got it. Sometimes it has needed tonne restarted. The power button often needs to be held tightly in for over a minute. I once thought my tab was not coming on .Indo think its software not the physical button

Just my two pennies
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
While reading this comparison review of the Sensation v. the SGSII, I noticed that the reviewer mentioned that the Sensation has a "Dock Mode." It puts up a screen saver and information portal in landscape mode (given that the connector is on the side and the phone will sit in landscape mode in the dock) when placed in the HTC dock.

Does anyone know if that is available on the EVO 3D? I'm assuming it's a feature on Sense 3.0 and therefore is available to us. If so, I think that's awesome. I was concerned about how the phone would appear in landscape mode in the dock.

Hi,

I took the time to mod the tw4launcher from samsung...

Added:

-settings

-theming

-resizing for all widgets

-scrolling widgets supported (laggy)

also code optimization and lots more ;)

oh and it works on all devices with armv7 processor and at least froyo. ;)

You can install the launcher as normal app (only if you not already have a twlauncher on your phone) or install the .zip in recovery which will push the app to /system/app/.

Normal install lacks the feature to uninstall apps (maybe more, not really tested).

See this thread where I posted more details and downloads..

After continuosly flashing my device smt I have to format so all contacs are lost,

synchronising your contacts either with your google acc. or an exchange account is a very reliable solution to protect your contacts. if you setup your fon from scratch you just have to hook up to the network and get connected to your 'cloud service' - the sync function installed on your fon will do the rest in seconds / minutes.

The Best & time saving way is to use Titanium Backup or Root Explorer to manually copy the database files to sd card or computer. Will take only a few seconds to restore all of the contacts/calendar entries. And no info will be lost.

To backup contacts copy the following file

-> /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.contacts/contacts2.db

To Backup Calendar Entries

-> /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.calender/calender.db

Phone must be rooted!

contacts2.db not read

I pick up this thread to ask for your support in the following situation:

Yesterday I put cyanogenmod on my SGS1. Works OK.

But I missed the fact that TitaniumBackup doesn't backup contacts and I didn't have google-sync active before.

So I am without contacts now.

I browsed the tarballs of Titanium and found a recent one containing a good looking contacts2.db (5MB in size, date yesterday). I tried to copy it to the correct path, with adb shell etc ...

Whenever I reboot the file gets reset somehow, it's only ~80k then.

Fiddled around with deactivating sync etc before, no success.

Currenty I have some contacts restored, better than nothing, but I would really like to get the full version of yesterday restored.

Any ideas? Tips?

Thanks in advance, Stefan

Okay so here goes....

alright i have charged my a500 from 11pm to 7am with the device turned off and the battery only charged 1% so i brought it into work and plugged it in and charged it for another 6 hours and the battery was up to 70% than i started playing around with the device and with it plugged in it dropped from 70 to 68% so i got off it and than the battery went back to 70% after a few min. So here is my issue why the hell wont the battery get to 100% after a whole night of charging and also most of the day being plugged into a wall socket. now i admit i didnt do the first 5 hours of charge before playing with the device but i cant imagine it ruining the battery like this if so is there a way i can reset the battery like i can on my phone?

I finally tossed skype 3 on my verizon TP2 which works great. I plan on using it to chat with friends and work people while I am in Europe over the data connection (new sim).

I would like it to stay open in my today screen.

So what needs to be edited/made/changed so "X" does not kill it, but instead minimize it. I would like every other program to still close with a press of the "X".

I figure it is as simple as a registry edit, similar to the opera one in: HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess

I tired adding a DWORD of Skype-PPC.exe with a value of 0, but this did nothing.

Thanks in advance,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
What you're asking isn't possible, to my knowledge. You can set all apps to minimize on a tap, and close on a tap and hold (or vice versa), but you cannot set apps to close or minimize individually.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dan McBoost:
If it is not possible, how did opera do it on a stock 6.5 rom??

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/1103473-post21.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cajunflavoredbob:
Opera is a problem in the way it accomplishes that. It is always loaded into the RAM until you go and close the process. This is counter intuitive to the way any other program loads itself into memory, and was done this way by the carriers. It doesn't do it in any custom ROM, you'll find. This was done to always make sure that the application would have priority in any situation. This is another reason why programs get kicked out of RAM when you get low on it, because Opera is always loaded in there.

Okay, well if you updated via the OTA then you are more than likely now unrooted. You are getting the red triangle because you don't have a recovery anymore. Unless I am mistaken, you should still be able to get into the hboot screen though. Are you holding volume down and the power button?

Well if you can get into hboot it should say S-OFF or S-ON near the top. If you are S-OFF you may be able to reverse the not being rooted issue. But, if you are S-ON you are out of luck and will have to wait for someone to find a new exploit for rooting the new update.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
If your bootloader is S off still, all you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image. From that point flash a new Rom. If you want to be on the ota update, then just flash a rooted version, which would've been way easier for youth do in the first place.

Followed a noob guide on here and rooted and s-off'd, and also partitioned 1gb on my sd card as ext 4.. i have put on a insertcoin GB sense 2.1 cm7 1.08 rom on and it has installed all my apps and data and phone contacts by its self (previously tried another rom and add to add all this on myself) so all my apps are on and i go and check my internal memory and i have 22mb of room left!!!??? i have manualy moved as many apps to the sd card as possible but i thought they would all be on there? how come my internal storage is getting so full? This makes the rooting process pointless.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
When you move apps to the SD not all appdata is moved to the SD.

For example:

- Ponon DLX: 9MB on SD - 400KB is still on the phone

- Pulse: 2MB on SD - 3,84MB is still on the phone

- Angry Birds Rio: 16MB on SD - 300KB is still on the phone

- CardioTrainer: 7MB on SD - 3MB is still on the phone

That's 8MB of the internal storage used. So if you have many apps, then you'll see that it takes a big bite of your internal storage. The reason for this is that many apps uses features/processes of the system that can't operate from the SDcard like the clock, camera, flash, facebook, messaging, widgets and so on.
