[HTC Sensation] LuLuBaby86:
When pressing the home screen button to get back to the homescreen, has anyone had the white HTC screen pop and then had to wait several seconds while their phone went back to their homescreen? This happens to me several seconds a day and its very frustrating and makes me consider returning my phone. Do anyone have a suggestion for stopping this?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
sense was forced closed & is restarting. join the discussion & ask a mod to please close this thread.

[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
Yes this has happened to me too. I believe it may have something to do where you use an application that uses alot of resources e.g Emulators and video services. A way to minimize the times this happens is by installing an Advanced task manager and clearing your RAM every so often to save battery, speed performance, and prevent that white screen!
[HTC Sensation] dj75728:
It happens to me when I'm switching between ADW Ex and the stock launcher, but other than that it doesn't really happen.
[HTC Sensation] LuLuBaby86:
But my phone I'd not forcing close. None of my applications have forced close yet.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
It was covered even earlier than that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125852

So this thread, and the thread in the quoted text, can both be closed! :)

It's due to the Sense launcher being pushed out of memory and having to reload. A perfectly normal occurrence due to the way Android handles RAM. Memory intensive activities, such as internet browsing with lots of windows, or large games, will cause it to happen.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
Trying to select text in the browser definitely needs some refinement.

It's very buggy and difficult.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] appelflap:
One has to get used to it. Don't know the official procedure, but long pressing on some text and setting the markers manually always works for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cdf3:
I've been to several sites where the markers jump all over the place. It tends to happen quite often if the paragraph or sentence has a mixture of text and hyperlinks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
Its wonky.

Old winmo and iOS still best at it.

Stupid arrow jumps all over and often cant be aligned correctly to the word I want.

Perhaps the browsers awful rendering of some pages is whats at fault. Since text input as a whole just slows to a crawl on some sites.
[Xperia Play General] Sithben24:
Fixed the problem. Apparently the market rating was set at everyone. Can delete this topic. Sorry.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Would everyone post here whether their Sensation was made in China or Taiwan? There is a understanding going around here that the Sensations made in China use a better display, Sony, compared to the Taiwanese, Sharp. Please post your display observations/experience here, also input from people who have had both versions would be really helpful.

Starting with mines, its made in Taiwan. Coming from the HD2, I compared them side by side and the Sensation is NOTICABLY brigher and more vivid. Its also sharper, ofcourse due to the QHD resolution. However, on my phone, if I lay it flat on a table, the colors do seem washed out, its not the same as looking straight at it. Ofcourse, it is LCD. I am still on the fence if I should exchange it at Walmart, I still have 8 days to decide. But I have a feeling that most of these units are from Taiwan? Someone here had both, and according to him, his current Chinese unit is better than AMOLED in quality and also outside in sunlight.
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
Don't think we needed another thread, but Taiwan and no issues here.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
It seems like people are getting too paranoid over this screen stuff.

The sensation uses a Super LCD display...it says right on the back of the box. Super LCD displays are made by Sony. If we are being given displays made by Sharp, that wouldn't be a super LCD display, right? If so, HTC would be lying to us.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Looks like all of them will say made in taiwan anyways

[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
I received my sensation last week, but because the earpiece speaker saturated, i sent it back online for a replacement. The screen was very nice although viewing angles where bad.

Man I regret my decision. I received my new one today. The crap lousy sounding earpiece still saturates and distorts during call. but now I GOT A TOTALLY different screen, A NASTY one. viewing angles tint the whole display redish, but that i dont care, what I care is the god damn SCAN LINES effect. the lines between pixels are much thicker on that one, makes it look grainy, and the ghosting, I have never seen so much ghosting. Im pissed :/

Mine says

made in china

under battery. and box does not say SLCD (although its a french box)
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Looks like most people having screen issues own the european sensation.
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
The original one i had was fine tho. I think Made in China will soon start to pop in US as well. we just got the phone much earlier than you that might be the reason.
[HTC Sensation] PurpleSkyz:
Could be my imagination but it also seems more colorful. But i could be imagining that.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Mine is a sharp made in taiwan.

Doing the command dmesg I found Panel Type PANEL_ID_PYD_SHARP listed there.. BUT I do not see the same issue with this screen that was going on with the MT4G screen where the sharp screen would wash out more on an angle. Now I'd like to see it side by side with a Sony one to see if there is much of a difference or if they chose to use two manufacturers again

to check use terminal emulator and run the command dmesg it will output a bunch of stuff.. just look for the line <6>[ 9178.895111] Panel Type = PANEL_ID_PYD_??????

I think this is just a rumor that spilled over from the MT4G forums because it was in fact an issue there... I'm curious to know now. My screen looks pretty damn nice and it's sharp, wondering if they did make sony one's if they are in fact better or not... Time will tell I'm sure when someone has two side by side.
[HTC Sensation] Takeshi_Kintaro:
Sorry for off top, but did you find a solution to this? I have the same saturation issue on mine from Vodafone Germany.

[HTC Wildfire S] rikko09:
Hi all,

following question: does anyone have an experience

running a voip-call through an openvpn tunnel on a Wildfire S??

I want buy it, but am wondering whether the CPU will manage

these two more or less cpu intesive tasks simultaneously.

Or is there no other way then to buy a "HTC Desire S"?

Thanks all in advance!

Robert.
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
If you use LauncherPro or ADW Launcher and get rid of the power-hungry Sense widgets you will get longer battery life. It will probably be enough to compensate for the OpenVPN connection (if you do not leave the VPN connection open 24/7, you might even get away with leaving Sense on); the phone is perfectly suitable for VoiP.
[HTC Wildfire S] imlgl:
The wildfire S should be capable, it can run pretty intensive tasks and has good RAM space so should be able to handle it. As it is the current gen of CPU it will be as fast as last gens 1ghz. Well that is what I think haha.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonesyjonez:
Following an update to Lotus Traveler (email program I have to use for work), my phone will no longer boot.

Turning it on, it gets to the "Quietly Brilliant" Splash screen and then just sits there forever on the screen. I tried booting with it connected to the computer but it makes no usb connection to the computer.

Trying to go into bootloader mode (Volume down + Reset) does work, however the phone never makes a USB connection.

Anything suggestions on other things to try?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonesyjonez:
I was able to make a USB connection and Task 29 and reinstall a new rom onto the phone.

Not sure if it was chance but I seriously tried connecting it via USB in bootloader mode 30 times without luck, then tried it once with the memory card in and it actually worked. Go figure.

Softkeyboard or dock, the delay is killing me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dragonthl:
Its a bug i tried stock and prime v1.4 are the same, still cant type in browser, maxthon...

Opera mobile is normal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MisterEdF:
The Samsung 10.1 has the same problem (actually worse IMO). Seems to be a Honeycomb issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dragonthl:
Aw, so they need to do a lot to make everything go smoothly.

Now too many unsupported issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Seems to be a stock browser issue, actually. As others have reported, Opera works fine because it was built from a completely different browser engine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Adkinson:
I found that the lag in the stock browser is minimal if you disable plugins.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
Typing lag and potrait frame rate drop; are the biggest reasons why iPad is winning tablet race. U might not think those 2 things are huge issue but have someone who plays with the iPad and give android tab a try will be turned off by this. I know because my brother put down my xformer noticing so much lag and went back to his fluid iPad. Sucks I hope it gets resolved soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dipje:
the keyboard lag while typing in the browser is from the browser autocomplete / autosearch. This doesn't make it OK I know. But if you can turn it off (or a rom can turn it off) it should help.

What people are saying about portrait fps I don't know. Scrolling and zooming in the browser and gallery for example go butter smooth whatever my orientation is.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
not to make fun or anything, but u might not have the eyes to notice a frame drop in portate mode, but its def no where near as smooth as landscape
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dipje:
Since this is (was?) The dev forum I was only giving facts, to help find the source. It's not apparent in every app and or every device. Bb
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dburckh:
Well, that and Apple has been in the market almost 2 years. :) And they advertise at least once on every prime time show I watch.

Anyway, really happy with my Transformer. I'm impressed with how well the apps. work. EVERYTHING WORKS. It may even be better than my Vibrant. Skype and Netflix are my only two issues? Where are you?

I have another tablet (Elocity A7). Same CPU (Froyo), no browser lag. Incredibly snappy. Anyway, the transformer is a huge setup in quality. 3.1 is awesome so far (after a little getting used to).

Generally the browser freakin' awesome. Everything works (except the click lag issue). Something is definitely up with that. I also miss the click highlighting from Froyo.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] snakeybidder:
O wow I've spent a while trying to sort out this issue, glad its not only me!

The lag is pathetic, this is the only thing left letting me down now. I cant believe this is happening with this great tablet!! Google need to sort this out with up-most priority!!

NOW!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dragonthl:

Could any Garmin Nuvifone A50 owner please check the user interface language options. Can I buy a German unit and just switch user interface to English from setup menu? Or does it requires a different ROM?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
I would strongly suggest to avoid this "phone" like plague. Pretty hard to get something worse Android-based.
[General Questions and Answers] mairbell:
I don't agree :-) - because AFAIK it's the single choice to get something with Garmin map support.

And Garmin keeps the map standards ... near all local and topo maps are based on Garmin.

Or can you suggest something better?
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
If you want a Garmin navigation, go buy a Garmin navigation.

I got this thing with a "phone-functionality-as-an-afterthought" for free with Garmin navigation - apparently they are overstock with this EOLed junk; ASUSTek broke up the partnership with Garmin last October.

This one has been collecting dust here for about 8 months.
[Nexus S Accessories] unhappyrobot:
I broke my battery cover when trying to take it off. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement for it? I called Samsung and they do not sell the part individually.
[Nexus S Accessories] housry23:
It would be helpful to know which Nexus S you have. There are several model #'s and they are a little different.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulver:
Check global parts direct. You have to buy a minimum amount though and I don't think they come with the nfs chip.
[Nexus S Accessories] ChrisJ:
I don't whether you are in the UK or not but I just picked up a genuine battery cover (with NFC antenna) from ebay from a trader called dew_trading. £16+p&p.

edit: it was for a I9020 and he's showing as having 5 left.
[Nexus S Accessories] sosquidtaste:
If you're in the US, make sure to try again and tell them that you want a warranty replacement for a broken back cover-- not that you just want to buy a regular replacement.

I know it sounds stupid, but I got the same line a bunch of times when I called. I had to ask to be transferred to the Warranty department and be sort of insistent that my cover was broken, and I needed it replaced under warranty etc etc. It should only cost you like $16 through that avenue.
[Nexus S Accessories] hydroidonic:
Was able to get a replacement as well for $16! I wanted to have a spare.
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Can anyone post the number to call for a warranty replacement?

1-888-987-4357

Thanks man... as others have done, I got a new one for $16 and change.
[Nexus S Accessories] joackie27:
Is it the NFC version battery door?
[Nexus S Accessories] uansari1:
Yes it sure is.
[Nexus S Accessories] isinisterx:
If they got it from samsung, the 99% chance it is NFC.

use another hboot on your device and you can already go and buy a new phone ;)

only thing would be maybe replacing their hboot img with our eng s-off hboot

Anyone tried ?

Thinking about it there would be no way of getting a working beta key, which the program asks for.

Yeah It's time to look for an xtc clip. that's the only way to s-off our DS. :(

relax! it's only a beta. I was just curious when i asked. Don't you think you should wait for the proper release before you go ahead and spend a lot of money on an xtc clip?
[HTC Desire S] dizzlerd:
pay and go amigo, it's the future and much cheaper
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
how does pay and go work? Yeah you're right I think xtc clip is the only last hope for us to s-off our device
[HTC Desire S] dizzlerd:
expecting mine in the post tomorrow so will let you know
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
It works exactly like an XTC Clip however the only difference is that the PCB is red and that it works with top-ups.

The top-ups enable unlock/s'off and you get unlimited gold card creation :)

A cheaper alternative.
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
The DS and Inc S is almost identical in specs. So I've always thought anything that has been developing for IncS can also be done to our DS.

[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
sorry i started all this! I was just looking for an answer as before the beta many were saying desire s would be supported. Thanks for the help though guys
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
It's alight mate, its just there are threads all over these forums, including the Incredible S, Wildfire S and Sensation. Most of them asking the same question, normally then full of people complaining that AlphaRev haven't released anything, then getting the hump and then complaining that they need to pay to use an XTC Clip... Not your fault but there are far too many impatient people all wanting everything for f**k all. Now don't get me wrong, I am all for a software solution to enable S-OFF but it will get here when it gets here.

Is there a way for me to get a connection from my laptop to the tab?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Do you mean use your laptop as the wifi access point? In that case you will have to replace the default wpa_supplicant file. Search for the thread here....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whereis404:
Not as a wireless access point. I believe normally, you use the USB cable to get the internet on your computer from your Tab Data plan (Correct me if I am wrong)

So, I was wondering if you could use the internet connection from your laptop and forward it to your tab through the USB cable.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
I use my tab as a wireless access point several times already-mostly at work because of network restrictions at the office.(Settings/wireless and networks/Tehtering and portable hotspots)

I don't know if you can use USB tethering from laptop to tab-probably not.....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agc93:
Hi,

You can get a form.of reverse tethering over WiFi by using an application called Connectify (works best on Windows 7). Install Connectify, tell it which connection you want to share, then connect to the created hotbot on the Tab.

Obviously, if your Wifi is properly broken this isn't particularly useful, but Im not aware of any way that the USB interface could be used for tethering in that direction.

Hope this helps...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tupo05:
Yed as agc93 said, connectify shares your pc internet connection through wifi. You need to setup static ip address in the galaxy though.

Good luck
