[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr10000:
I currently dived into making apps for android, i know java and html. My issue is I WAS developing with a G1[small screen] and now i moved on to the HTC Sensation. When i run my program in an emulator the application takes up the whole screen, however, when i debug on my Sensation, the application stays the size as if it was on the G1. Is this an issue with the main.xml?? Or do I have to make seperate layouts for each resolution? Any guidance would be appreciated!! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
How did you do your layout? Mind posting the xml?

From something awesome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
To have this layout fill the screen you should have your top level linear layout have fill_parent for both height and width. That will fill the screen instead of wrapping the content inside. But might i suggest using a RelativeLayout instead. They scale much better and allow for pieces to grow to fill gaps but not take over everything

From something awesome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr10000:
I changed it to fill_parent and still not luck.. i will try using RelativeLayout in a bit and write back.. not sure what the issues it.. followed the notepad tutorial on developer.android and that one does not fit my screen either.. xD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
Sensation is qhd... Probably brings some issues with a higher screen resolution. RelativeLayout will be able to handle the most resizing of ui elements

From something awesome
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr10000:
okay thanks killersnowman!! I'll try the relative layout and get back!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr10000:
tried <RelativeLayout> still no luck.. here is a screen pic of my issue

EDIT: I figured it out need to add:

<supports-screens

android:resizeable="true"

android:anyDensity="true"

/>

to the manifest.xml

Thank you for your help and i refactored the layout to relativelayout bc its easier lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
hmmm... you got me. i have no idea why it isnt filling the entire width of the screen. that would seem the easiest to stretch. im not sure.

have you tried looking in the Sensation forums for people who are having apps not draw correctly?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
there was a post in the evo3d forum about this, as it has a qhd screen as well, and it was suggested to disable 'compatibility mode' in Spare Parts. if the sensation doesnt have Spare Parts with the stock rom it can be gotten from the market.

If I don't care for a particular feature in a rom can the libs be removed? Say for instance, if I don't care about camera can I remove any libs related without breaking dialer?

I guess I'm asking are libs connected or independent to one hardware?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Good question. What you can probably do, is using say, Root Explorer, toggle R/O then long press the file, and move it out of the lib folder, then reboot and see what happens. If anything goes wrong, you can move it back, that way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
Hmm. Would renaming it adding. Bak to the end do the same thing? Thanks for the reply, it just a little project I'm working on and have only a few minutes here and there to spend on it. That should help alot!

On second thought, I like your idea better becouse I can multi select them and move alot faster than renaming them.

Hi to all,

I have N1 with cyanogen nightly...

all goes fine...really untill today...

When I take a pic, it is saved like usually in the sd card and I can see it in the gallery app... I can see it also in the file manager...

all perfect...

But when I plug the usb cable and mount the sd card as mass storage, the last pic (and I mean just the last pic of today not the old pics I've taken) desappeared and all I find in the DCIM/Camera folder is a jpg file of 0bytes with the today date but wrong clock...

the pic is of course corrupted...

When I unplug the usb, the last pics disappeared...

Anyone have had this problem...please I don't want to restore anything untill the stable release of cyanogen is out...

thanks

Hi,

I had similar problem a couple of months ago.

resolved by backuping sdcard then reformatting, and reflashing rom.

Did you tried to copy that photos in an other folder in sdcard with file manager, as you can see it in Gallery and File manager on phone, then mount to computer and look in the folder where pasted ?
[Atrix 4G General] detroitjb:
I used to be on Ken 4.5.9.1 ROM, which was awesome, but recently switched over to CherryBlur, which is based on Orange FR 4.5.2A. Whats the difference between these 2 versions? What is "Orange"? Is one newer or better than the other?

Does anybody know if Cherryblur has the new 4.5.9.1 radio? Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
KenPen's ROM is based off of a GB release for AT&T, while the Orange ROM is based off of a GB release for Orange (a European carrier iirc).

I can't speak for the specific differences. Obviously the Orange release won't have the AT&T Bloatware, but likely has Orange Bloatware (or doesn't it?), and vice versa. Most of the AT&T bloatware can be uninstalled and doesn't startup with the phone, I am not sure on this for the Orange release.

DK
[Atrix 4G General] raybond25:
neither ROM actually installs the updated radio, you have to do that separately.

i don't think there is really much bloat left in either ROM, when being created bloat was removed from both.

the biggest difference i'd say is that there are themes available for for ken's 4.5.91 ROM, whereas CherryBlur is really the only theme out for 4.5.2
[Atrix 4G General] detroitjb:
ok, so aside from one being european and one being US, same code though? And it's ok to use a european ROM on a US AT&T phone? Thanks for the help guys, pretty much the only thing i have left to question!
[Atrix 4G General] raybond25:
yup, it doesn't affect your radio (cellular signal at all) and it has been modified for use on AT&T hardware, so you're good to go. flash whatever you'd like in the dev section. I'd recommend Ninja ROM, personally.

[General Questions and Answers] ntk4:
I had a message popping up saying "SIM card full, delete messages". I would click on this message, and it would open the standard messaging app called: Messaging. I kept going through and deleting all my SIM messages (unknowingly using the Messaging app at this time) and then it would automatically refresh, only to show me all the exact same SIM messages, not deleted.

Textra was set as my default messaging app.

To resolve this issue and finally delete all my SIM messages, I had to activate the de-activated Messaging app, click on settings->manage SIM messages->select all the messages and delete them. This finally refreshed to show no more SIM messages. I then re-activated Textra and everything was back to normal.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calculus1918:
I have the backwards problem here. I am trying to bring the xoom to Japan as a present for the In-Laws. I can pick up the Xoom wifi in the U.S. for around $399, but the In-Laws and only read Japanese. Could I convert the U.S. version to Japanese (need much more than just the language settings, need the icons and the Japanese market, etc)? Thanks for all your help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Go over to the Moto Dev site and download the stock wifi image for Japan, flash using the instructions on the site. There you go, your US Xoom is now a Japanese Xoom. Oh and don't relock the bootloader.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calculus1918:
Seriously, that would be amazing, thanks so much.

I have flashed different kernels and roms on my cellphone but never done this before. Can you please answer the following questions when you get a chance.

1. Do I need to root the xoom?

2. Do I need to download clockword mod recovery?

3. Can I do all of this via terminal manager (type in the commands for flashing), the instructions on the site only has these lines... Where do I type this stuff or should I unzip the Japan kddi.zip file?

Instructions to Flash & Re-Lock Your Motorola XOOM:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem lock

Thanks so much for your help again!!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
He said: "Oh and don't relock the bootloader."
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring_GT:
1. no root needed

2. no cwm needed.

3. u need adb and fastboot, motodrivers, latest sdk, official images from motorola

i think there is a thread here in XDA, for non US xooms flashing US image. just look for it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
As above.

Follow OP's post in this thread to unlock the Xoom.

Then download the Japanese image, flash using the instructions you posted above from a command prompt in Windows.

Important: ignore the last command on the Moto site. You do not want to lock the bootloader. Locking the bootloader when you're running a different image than intended on the device may brick your Xoom.

I was very disappointed when I tried to open an RTF file on the Transformer. None of the installed (paid, full version) Office suites (Documents to Go, Picsel SmartOffice, Polaris, QuickOffice HD Pro) was able to interpret the format. WTF?

Has anyone come across an app that does support RTF files? I also tried uploading the file to Google Docs and Windows Live Office but from the TF that doesn't seem to work. I will try uploading the file from my PC and open it in the browser but that is not really feasible most of the time.

I'd love to investigate further but I can't reproduce this problem o.O

Can you describe your wifi setup (router and phone) so I can try to replicate the conditions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrew1263:
I have an old linksys srx200 router connected to the router Comcast gave me (the black box that runs phone and internet). My phone is a recently gb s-off rooted inc2. I tried sense (stock and virtuous), omfgb, cm7 and they all have the problem so I'm thinking its either my phone or router...

A few posts above talks about having too many computers connected to the router being the problem, which could possibly be my case but hasn't been a problem until a few days ago... I have up to 2 desktops and 2-4 laptops connected at once (yes, I have a big family). I hope all this info helps
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dalamar1320:
My first step would be to update the firmware on your router. You also states that your linksys srx200 is connected to a Comcast "router" . Do you mean modem or is it a gateway (modem with built in router ) because if the latter, then the dual Nat setup may be causing issues. But with some info we can tackle it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrew1263:
It's a Comcast modem that also hooks up the home phone line, sorry about the confusion. I have updated the firmware, but linksys has only come out with one firmware update in the years that I have had the router. The update hasn't helped much and the open firmwares like ddrt (if I remember correctly) isn't supported for the modem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] siskiou:
I have problems with wifi dropping out in my house, too.

[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I'm making the jump to the x2 from the fascinate this week & am looking for some general advice about the phone. Most of the other active flashaholics have gone another direction but I've had positive experience with Motorola in the past. I actually wanted the original x last year, rather than the fascinate, but it was soldout so long I couldn't wait. So here I am full circle and looking forward to a phone that can receive calls regularly. So...

1. What's the word on the bootloader unlock?

2. What's safe to do on the phone?

3. Is it easy to brick?

4. What do I use to flash roms/themes? Anything like Odin?

5. What file structure is used?

6. Is it a solid phone, barring bells & whistles?

Don't mean to run on, but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Answers:

1. Don't hold your breath.

2. Not sure what you mean by safe.

3. Only if you don't know what you're doing.

4. bootstrap/recovery, the current release is a modified version of the Atrix CWM

5. No idea what you're asking here.

6. In my opinion, out of the box this phone is sub par. However with the proper mods it easily becomes the best phone in Verizons line up.

[Motorola Droid X2] kdaz:
Been three days now with my x2 from the fascinate and I love it..been 28 hrs of normal usage and battery is at 30%. My fascinate would be at 30% after 18 hrs tops. I havent made any major changes either, just rooted and removed some bloat that i dont use and installed the recovery. It seems to be a great time to get on the x2 bandwagon, we already have one rom and team BAMF (who made some roms for the fascinate) has been shipped an x2 to create a rom for us. Check out rootzwiki for more info on that.

For me it is love hate,

the phone seems solid, light and very fast

i have rooted, supercharged, sd speed increase, debloated, frozen apps, using ADW, installed system recovery and cache cleaners

that being said, the phone seems *mostly* stable

- moto blur blows…

- the video does skip or drop a frame here and there, pretty regularly...frustrating

- I have been having trouble with audio, not necessarily popping or skipping all that much since the mods, but it is randomly rebooting during playback for some reason...frustrating

but when it does work...it sounds awesome,… I think. (Mixzing with eq)

- I use Wi-Fi tether, I am having issues with it rebooting ALOT, like every 10 minutes or so. Tried the cache cleaners and other version of the app, no help....really frustrating

- I uploaded video to Face book from a concert, it looked like total crap, and there was no audio...frustrating

- I tried to take video of several more sets at the concert only to have the recordings fail at the very end, losing them entirely, ...very frustrating - seeing that I had a better camera that would have worked flawlessly.

- calls are very clear, with a great signal

- internet is super fast and easy with this phone/large screen

- the screen is pixilated though, you need to mess around with the brightness/density…it does help

- does take a decent picture (in the right conditions)

- all the rest of my apps seem to run quickly and flawlessly, except for what was previously mentioned.

- My battery life is great

so I’d say it's a mixed bag, coming from an og droid, the phone is vastly superior speed wise, but it is not nearly as stable or customizable…yet

I think many of us here are pinning our hopes that it is mostly software related and that roms, or ota gingerbread will fix the majority of the issues

if software doesn’t help considerably, I’m dumping this phone for something else

I can’t have a phone that is re-booting 10 times a day, this is getting ridiculous.

Sensation has:

Uni-aluminium-body, Sense 3.0 (which is way more beautiful than Touchwiz), higher screen resolution, less RAM, less internal memory.

Galaxy SII has:

more RAM, more internal memory, Touchwiz (ugly), very cheap plastik body, higher screen contrast.

I prefer Sensation over Galaxy S2 for Sense+aluminium body, but several people prefer Galaxy for RAM+screen contrast+internal memory.

Both of them are good.
