[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Rick in LA:
I've been running Google's Music app for a few weeks now with my library uploaded to their servers. It's been glitchy so I finally went ahead w/ an uninstall/reinstall and now it's not finding my cloud-based tunes.

There's no refresh or sync option but I recall at one point having to sync Contacts in order to refresh a separate Google service so I deleted Contacts data and resynced that service. This didn't solve the Music issue, I still see only locally stored content.

I bet this is an easy fix but I can't finger it out. Any help?

I was wondering if anyone has been able to validate the claim that Sprint will fix broken rooted phones yet because my speaker is blown on my EVO and I really don't want to loose root just for a speaker. Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerman7:
Apparently this varies at different Sprint locations, since the speaker would be classified a hardware problem, you should be ok. I would suggest calling Sprint first to get their official stand on it, then at least you walk in armed with a little knowledge. Where I live (VA), I had a USB port problem, they took my rooted phone no problem, and even found me a froyo 2.2 so I could root it instead of a newer one with locked bootloader. But I have heard the horror stories.....good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sling:
lol

Hardware problems like speaker can be caused by OS modification.

Many Custom kernels increase speaker amplification thus they blow left & right corp store techs are well aware of it.

Also if you go into store tech finds root theirs a 99.9% chance they note your account warranty void on device.

Sprint corps not playing around anymore.

You guys are the reason this site is #1. Very helpful. I'm going to try and get a hold of someone at my local store again to see if I can get an answer. If not I'm gonna drop my insurance and start doing my own repairs. Thanks a million.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
How do you know your speaker is blown? Is it totally silent and no sound comes out of it at all? I though mine was blown until I took the back cover off and blew a little compressed air on it and it started working again. Try that approach if you hear no sound at all before trying to replace it. If it is blown and all you hear is distorted sound, then by all means, replace that bad boy.

Good Luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknownforce:
The sprint store by me didn't even look for signs of root when I took my phone in the last 3 times... the last reburb I got was already S-OFF and they didn't even notice that... they either went in for the repair (first thing they did was pull the battery to start taking it apart to repair it, not even turn the screen on) or they just swapped it without even looking at the phone at all.

Each store is different, if one doesn't do it, try another.

Ever since the 2.3.3 update (4.24.651.1) I have this issue when I go to use the keyboard it does not appear, just white space where the keyboard should be. The keyboard is still there just not visible because I can type but I can't see the keys I'm typing.

I'm able to resolve it by changing the input method back to regular keyboard then right back to swype again, but it continues to happen. It seems totally random and occurs in different apps. Has anyone else experienced this?:confused:

So my phone freezes sometimes and I have heard others having the same problem. This happens a lot when using the camera.

Also how does it work do you jsut put the new one in and your good to go? What happens to all the apps and information stored on the stock SD card?

Thanks for the help,

[HTC EVO 3D] ranger61878:
Get a class 6 or up. I have a 32 GB class 6 Kingston and have no problems with freezes.

In order for everything to be the same from one card to the next, you'll want to copy everything over from the old one to the new one on your computer if you have game data and such. Make sure you set your computer to "view hidden files", because some of the data may be hidden.

Go to patriot memory to find the best prices, they list 8 of their online seller and I chose the cheapest one without a mail-in rebate.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
Its the same with all players. Some use software decoding (cpu renders, vplayer, rockplayer, mobo, ...) or hardware decoding (gpu renders, stock video player, rockplayer, mobo, ...)

They all use the same methode to decode a video so there won't be significant improvements as long as there are no good drivers/codecs for it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Okay, here's some suggestion for now:

[*] For the audio problem, try DicePlayer and then;

[*] Same way you encode the srt into Unicode, or US-ASCII, or ISO 8859-6 and set the player subtitle encoding accordingly (if diceplayer doesn't read your current sub).

[*] Wait for updates of Soulmovie player.

It is worth doing a little extra job to enjoy the whole movie doesn't it? ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello_world.c:
I've read all "bricked" threads up and down (honest!) but none of it "fits" and I have circumstances that make me afraid of completely "losing" the phone. My situation:

- got the Captivate with stock 2.1 and did the one-click-root and unlock. From that stage I have a ROM backup generated via ClockworkMod recovery, and a backup of nvram.bin etc.

- after that I used Samsung Kies mini to upgrade to stock 2.2, then hard-removed ATT crapware before I learned that this could be a problem. Also made other changes to remove bootup animation and sounds, etc. and installed lagfix (2.2 if I am not mistaken)

- no backup from that stage because ClockworkMod wouldn't run anymore (checksum error)

Now after installing live dmesg I am stuck at boot and can either get into download mode or a vibration loop, i.e. it vibrates every few seconds. I can get into adb shell but only non-root because it's stuck at an early stage. dmesg doesn't tell (me) what the problem is.

My main question now: What can I now program in which order - safely - to get back into a usable state? I am afraid that whatever step I take will lead me into a non-recoverable situation.

ANY help or tips are greatly appreciated!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Get in to download mode and 1 click back to stock eclair. A good 1 click is this onehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

That should get you back to a stock 2.1 from factory.

On a personal note don't bother with stock android roms. There's plenty of Froyo roms or GB roms to use most of them just better than anything a "stock" rom can do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Good advice, I would also add that since you're able to use adb shell, to try method 1, 'adb reboot download' or 'adb reboot recovery', then ODIN-1-click back to stock. Also when trying to get rid of AT&T stuff, try TiBU and just 'freeze' those apps. It hides them from your phone but if you ever want them back, just a click away.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello_world.c:
Thanks that worked, but...

...only after it got stuck the first time with only the (Computer)--!--(Phone) symbol and NO apparent way to get back into the download mode. But thankfully there is an extremely odd method to recover (linked from that thread). I was getting extremely nervous for a while here.

Thanks also for the tip to try another ROM. I am in the process of getting DarkyROM and Gingerbread installed - looking good!

[Xperia Play General] indieastro:
I'm not trying to be negative. I Just want to talk about the swiping issue on this phones joypad.

I am looking forward to seeing Minecraft come to Xperia play, I love what xperia play has done for gamers so far.

I have an xplay and have been extremely upset about the right joyPAD on a number of games. I've been hoping that notch will make it work better in his game.

Unfortunately after watching a pretty official video I can tell that he did NOT create a solution for Minecraft on xperia play. I'm talking about a solution for the amount of swiping you need to do to the right joystick.

Look at the you tube video called 'Minecraft gameplay on Xperia PLAY'

I'll point out the amazing Gameloft shooters like nova 2, rainbow six and modern combat.

In these games the LEFT joyPAD DOES NOT act the same as the right joyPad and that is a huge issue. A lot of people have issues with this.

With the LEFT joypad you can constantly strafe or move forwards/backwards without taking your thumb off. The right joypad is the opposite, you have to swipe over and over to make your character do a full turn.

YES you can change sensitivity but when you are millimetre away from a head shot and you try to correct you will over correct. Nova 2 does a good job at auto aim but that is not good enough.

At first I thought that this was just overlooked by the designers but it’s so obvious that they must have made the decision to stick with swiping and not give any option.

It’s not hard to get used to swiping but it’s still dumb. I won’t say games are unplayable but they become un-enjoyable. I payed for Gameloft games and I can see how good the quality is...I just wish I could play them and get excited about them. I wish they would patch the controls.

I am still hoping notch will fix the swiping issue or at least give an option. I have a really hard time believing that it’s the hardware or the right Joypad can’t be reprogrammed.

I’m an indie designer and just want the best for games and the future of games.

I really hope someone working on minecraft reads this.

Please write your personal opinion on the swiping issue I described. I think gamers need to speak up in order to get this changed or fixed in the future.

[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
In a multiplayer game where phones that have no control pad exists.... You think it's fair to "fix" the right pad!? You already have the advantage.....anymore would make the other players not play multi cuz you'll be owning more
[Xperia Play General] PhillipJ:
In Modern Combat 2 at least you can the control scheme to "Virtual Sticks" and both pads will behave as the left one does. It's pretty bad though, I found the left as analog, right as swipey works much better.

I think that's more a problem with their implementation though as Battle Bears -1 has the right pad as analog and it's pretty good. Battle Bears doesn't really require precision though so that might be the difference.

You can try downloading WidgetLocker from the Marketplace.

This will allow you to replace your current lock screen with something a bit more customizable. You can - as the name indicates - put widgets on your screen. So you can put a Bluetooth widget in the top left so you always know where it is.
