[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Actually, you are part right... part wrong... gama radiation is "large" and does not penetrate deeply... cannot go through paper... but direct on you skin can cause radiation poisoning effects and cell death... think of sun skin leather effect.

Beta is low energy radiation that can penetrate deeply and cause more serious effects... it is "smaller" and requires more to stop it.

But, the part you are correct about is the AMOUNT of either radiation cellular devices put out it miniscule compared to other things... especially things like the sun.

The sun tan one gets is more damaging to their overall health than cellular devices raditaion....

But, as I understood the OP question to be how much more hazardous is leaving tethering enabled than not... my original response stands... it is no more damaging than leaving a phone active and in one's pocket.

Would I do it... NO... that's why I have a holster for my phone... keeping the alpha's, beta's and gamma's away from the nads.

I do keep tethering enabled.... as it is the same effect as to whether tethering is enabled or not.
[Nook Color General] PoisonWolf:
Thank you for that information. I will keep it farther away from the valuables then. :D
[Nook Color General] liam.lah:
Not sure where i am wrong, The mobile phone emits neither gamma, beta or alpha radiation. It emits longer waves closer to radio.

Also, Gamma radiation is extremely short wave, and penetrates deeply you need things like lead or concrete to stop them, The ones that do not penetrate well are Alpha particles, you have them mixed up.

Again, there is no known mechanism in which the radiation from a mobile phone can damage you, unless the radio was cranked up to an impossible amount and literally heated you up.
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
Sometimes when I open the Google Talk app, it begins to open and then apparently crashes and I'm back on my home screen. The only way to fix this is to reboot my phone. But it happens again sometime later and I don't know why. Does anybody else have this issue or know how to fix it?
[HTC Sensation] Googa:
This was happening to me yesterday... rebooted and it hasn't happened since.

Once we get S-Off, we can upgrade to the new Talk (1.3 I believe) with video chat...
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
Well good to see that I'm not the only one with the problem. It hasn't happened to me for a few days now. Can't wait for the newest version!
[HTC Sensation] Michanchan:
I went to settings -> accounts & sync and synced everything including the Background Data. Seems to work.
[Atrix 4G General] Bigred007:
This is probably a dumb question (I'm likely overlooking an obvious setting), but I've been running LP for a while on Froyo. I've now downloaded the ota GB, and would like to check out the stock home screen, but can't figure out how to temporarily turn off LP.
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
In my experience the only way is to uninstall it or freeze in TB.
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
Home switcher app in the market. You can set your stock one as default if you wish and still keep LP on.
[Atrix 4G General] Bigred007:
I can't get the home switcher app to make the home my default. It just force closes everytime I try. If I uninstall LP can I reinstall it without buying it?
[Atrix 4G General] Ronaldo_9:
i got home switcher and no issues, i think there is 2 versions of search home switcher
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
You sure can. Backup your settings in it first, or use titanium backup to back the whole thing up. You could also try homesmack to change the default launcher.
[Atrix 4G General] Pat123:
Yes, you can re-download and install from Market!

Answer to your first question: Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Launcher Pro -> Clear Defaults!
[Atrix 4G General] daneren2005:
Not sure whether I'm the only one but there are a few things that really bugging me with the OTA:

1) Auto-brightness now just always keeps me at the lowest brightness. I prefer the auto but not if its going to make my screen always dark.

2) The camera actually seems to take not as good pictures for some reason. Everything looks more washed out, especially in low light cases.

3) The default black background worked with all programs, and the white just doesn't. For example FPSE: when you are picking from a list of roms if the list doesn't go all the way to the bottom then where there are things to pick from its black and below it its white. Titanium Backup has the same thing below the list of schedules. It is frekin ugly and just doesn't look right like it did before.

4) The top bar icons just don't look as nice as the old ones.

5) Talking over the phone everyone sounds quiter and grainer
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
I've noticed that low light pictures suck now.
[Atrix 4G General] knigitz:
I'm not having the same low light picture issues.

Also, if some apps look bad because of the new theme, those app makers should fix their apps. If just one app inherits the new color-schemes, all apps can. Some programmers are not using "best practice" techniques in this case.

For example, they manually set the background color and font color, rather than inherit from the colors from the system. Should be a simple fix for them, if they care.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
For those that don't mind using Bluetooth, I highly recommended the Motorola H720.

This headset isn't that expensive, and IMHO it greatly enhances the call quality on ALL of my Android phones.

I'm still on (Bell) Froyo, but the H720 might be worth a shot for anyone disappointed with call quality... :)
[Atrix 4G General] JLHumbert:
Since upgrading to official Gingerbread, my Gmail icon no longer shows up in the messaging app. Gmail still works, but when I go into messaging all other accounts are listed except my Gmail app account. Gmail was always listed in the messaging app in Froyo. My wife hasn't upgraded yet and Gmail list listed in messaging on her Atrix. Is anyone else having this issue?

Daneren, I agree the new color theme is horrible. The color and symbols on the notification bar really bad.
[Atrix 4G General] Jonny Steele:
low light pic sucks!!! Colors seem a little cheap on the menu bar.
[Atrix 4G General] Dell2:
This is why I think Motorola should have put the new exposure setting onscreen instead of in the menu settings. That setting makes a huge difference in picture quality, and I have to adjust it way too much for it to be in menu setting.
[Atrix 4G General] ssackett:
I am disapointed with a few things also. Low light pics seem effected, I cant tether anymore, my quadrant standard score is 300-800 lower consistantly now, there is an annoying lag when I unlock with the slider, and I prefer the top bar icons with 2.2.2.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Have you tried a 3rd party app like Barnicle Tethering?...
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
If you're rooted wifi tether for root seems to work fine for me.

I'd rather do that than manually dig around sql files and possibly bork something (as per the mod in the dev section).

As a formed N1 user I miss my vanilla android sometimes
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
To add to that

-home screen seems to be less responsive

- battery indicator inaccurate

Haven't tested a lot. Will take time to test all the options and features.

However the new keyboard seems to be an improvement though.
[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
No bugs or issues here but new MOTOBLUR home looks and performs worse than its predecessor.

As far as picture and video quality I see no difference.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
the default music player seems to have shuffle turned on permanently and I can't turn it off!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
Slide your finger to the left, you should then have an option to change that.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
thx but slide where? tried everywhere lol
[Atrix 4G General] mpalatsi:
Should be on the album art, if that doesn't work... Idk.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
thx doesn't work, over to winamp.

Would prefer stock (lockscreen features, less bloat/ram)
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
Car dock became atrocious. You now can only add 4 apps to it, the rest is either close button (two of that), and stupid music player functionalities (music player, internet radio, podcast player) or voice search.
[Atrix 4G General] ssackett:
I also have ran into the issue with the battery indicator.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
If you are looking for a player that's close to the previous, give PlayerPro a try. (Has trial but not free)

If you want a free player with even less permissions used than Winamp, give Zimly a try.

I currently have both players on my phone... :)
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
thanks long time winamp user so going with what I'm used to.

Though I must say GB seems to have flakier bluetooth. Still don't understand how that 'shuffle permanently on' bug got past the testers, though maybe I'm the only one for some weird reason (total stock upgrade to OTA so a bit annoyed really lol). Not a huge loss but oh well the stock player's widget was ugly as sin anyway
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I just wish Winamp had a way to change the volume without using the rocker. I've already broken a phone's rocker before, and the one on the Atrix seems a little fragile IMO.

Anywhoo... The bottom line is that the music player shouldn't cause people scrambling for third party options.

IMO Google should buy the stock SGS player and put it on all future phones as stock. It's hands down the best that I've ever used on a mobile device...
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
So GB has lower scores than Froyo?... :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] ssackett:
I dont know about anyone else but for me after the OTA my scores have tanked which has been soooo annoying.. I was consistantly around 2400-2600 before the update.
[Atrix 4G General] gammite:
my annoyance is that there is no notification via bluetooth headset for texts and emails. am i missing something or is there a fix for this?
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
What scores are you rocking?...
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
nope ditto here but it was same in froyo
[Atrix 4G General] gammite:
yes it was the same in froyo. but imo this is a HUGE oversight. every phone smart or not i had before this and i have been using a smartphone since 2004 had this feature.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
I have no doubts that this is due to moto's audio routing stack

why is VOIP so difficult to get working on atrix, same issue

Cmon AOSP ROMs
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Well I've been able to listen to music on a BT-Mono headset since 2004.

Could do that on smartphones and even my old RAZR phones.

Seriously when will Android make this standard on all phones?... :(
[Atrix 4G General] stratax:
im having the background problem.. on Go sms i cant pick a background, just stays white WTFFFFF lol. this is so stupid. xD

i also have a bug where i cant add stuff to the homescreen unless i add it while long press which takes forever.-_-

edit: this thread needs to be shown to moto. i cant believe the droid 3 has better GB than us.. (smoother, better looking in some parts, better widgets, etc.) when the ATRIX was the first dual core, they need to stick with ONE GB type for all their phones, never have had a update with bugs. especially how long they took? they also said there would be 1080p recording didnt they? maybe i got that part wrong ;)

i hate to complain but.. these phones are NOT cheap, and doesnt seem we are getting what we paid for. always have hated samsung since the behold 2, but they seem to even be doing better on software side, by alot. even HTC with its heavy UI.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
You misunderstand. BT works, calls and music. However they overlooked notifications: these mute the music as they should but then come out the phone speaker like normal instead of being correctly routed to BT. Annoying but not exactly show stopping (the sudden cut in music is enough of a signal lol).

I'm more concerned about the flakiness of the BT stack, seems like every 3 or so hours or so I have to turn the BT off and on again as music will just mysteriously stop comign through the headset even though its still paired/connected and the phone thinks its playing.
[Atrix 4G General] ssackett:
Consistantly around 1800-2200.. Dipped below 1800 a couple times.
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
The only thing holding me back from loading up an AOSP rom right now is the fact that I won't have the HTC messaging app.

On my droid 2 I always used Handcent, but the HTC messaging app was always a huge step up from that for me.

So I figure most use Handcent, or GO SMS, is that true?
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
If I'm using CM7 it's always the stock messenger. Any other rom I use handcent.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
Handcent on every ROM, AOSP or not.
[Thunderbolt General] ANDR0lD:
Handcent

sent from a 1.5ghz-Cyanogen 'Bolt
[Thunderbolt General] Lipmonger:
I saw your post on RootzWiki too. For what it's worth, I use Google Voice for all texting. That way it's logged in my Goog account, and I can access/reply to all of my messages from any browser and the Chrome extension.

Hi,

3 days ago it had that upgrade to 1.47.401.4.

But now it seems, that there is no sync for my gmail calendar anymore. i didnt changed anything, i checked everything, suddenly there a no "blue" schedules in my calendar anymore.

is that possible?

does anybody have the same problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slight22:
Currently I'm running a DVP (windows 7 phone) and I do love it but i've been considering loaning it to my gf and getting myself another phone.

I have no experience with android phones or software so i'm not 100% sure what I should be looking at for a phone.

What I do know is that the phone has to be able to use the t-mobile 1700/2100 frequencies for the carrier I am using here in Canada. I would like a physical keyboard but they are becoming very rare. I also want the ability to tether to my laptop and be able to upgrade the memory past 32gig. As well as ability to use any cooked ROM people make. I guess pretty much a mini PC, just like my HTC touch pro 2 has always been.

Where should i be looking as far as phones are concerned? What is the best phone? Should i be waiting for all phones to run android 3.0? WHat should I be looking at here, and if i'm going to bring a phone up from the states I expect i'm going to have to pay so not worried about the cost at this point.

thx

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercilus:
Hey everyone, new Atrix owner here.

When I saw the OTA update I got excited and downloaded it via system updates.

It has not been installed yet. Still completely original stock/locked

From what I can tell from reading posts I do not want to install this now and it keeps alerting me to install it.

How can I disable/delete this?

Also,

Can anyone direct me to the post that explains how to unlock and load it myself from a custom rom (and a recommendation for custom rom to use)?

I just read for about an hour trying to figure it out to no avail so sorry for my newb skills.

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFHimself:
Hi,

If you have root explorer or know adb go to /cache and delete the update files from there.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercilus:
Completely stock at the moment. I have not done any modifications to this phone. Just bought it about a week ago.

So just trying to make sure I do this right the first time.

Tried to read the posts and made it through a 21 page forum and just got more confused haha. Way too many acronyms...

Anyways, if I just update myself from the leaked version i can go back and delete this later?

Which leak should I use is there one that is considered more stable?

There seems to be a million different ways to do 10 different things at the moment ugh..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skin1980:
Hi all... Here there're many dev so maybe i'm so lucky to find someone that can help me....

I'm going to convert my phone's partition to ext4 but i have problem with /data. This because the phone has 4 gb of internal memory that Samsung push under /dev/block/mmcblk0. This memory is partitioned in three part /dev/block/mmcblkop1 (internal SD) /dev/block/mmcblkop3 (/data) and /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (empty).

How can i format /data into ext4? I tryed different way but the phone doesn't boot. What is the correct way to make it?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernosoft:
My phone's currently rooted (running CM7 if that matters). Since the OTA update for Sprint is supposed to start rolling out this Monday, is there anything I need to do in order to receive the update?

Will I need to unroot?

Is there some manual way of checking for the update on custom ROMs?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HareyCarey:
I have raised this question on two threads. I used Mikeyinid's rom for awhile and now have Oxygen rom and I have asked in both threads what would be done. People have told me that an update.zip would be released or the rom itself would be upgraded. Just keep your eye on your respective rom's thread and the developer should get everyone taken care of. As soon as the first member of this site gets the OTA, you know it will be posted and then applied to all the roms/kernels lol. We wont have to do anything but reboot to recovery and flash knowing these guys. I give it a few hours after it starts rolling out before they have it locked in lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernosoft:
That actually makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the answer!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
Honestly most of the fixes are gonna be in the radio. Personally I don't even care about the 2.3.5 stuff or whatever else is included. I just want to flash the new radio the second its available and I will happily wait for ROMs to the be updated from that point on
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pewipo123:
yea, all i care about is the radio too....GB reminds me if vista, everytime they fix a problem, it changes...2.3 2.3.2 2.3.3 2.3.4 ..... 2.3.5? just fix my radio and send me 4.0 !

Did you the same problem ?

When I want to use the 'SEARCH THIS FORUM' function with the tablet, without keyboard, I can't write anything because it's close quickly.

Is there a reason while ?

plz help me

any idea ?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EBI_LANCER:
the problem here

my hdtv is full hd 1920*1024

and when i see output of TF01 is 1280*720 (is that line out tf01 not full hd ?)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husher:
thats the only thing i would think. it's 720p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diversificationied:
The default output mode is mirroring. If you play a 1080p video, then it will be output at 1080P.

If your TV is set to display 1:1 you will have a double lettterbox image on the screen. Set the input to upscale.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] svenerator:
I really like the HTC flip clock and weather widget.

I've been looking for a long time for a decent replica.

I am using Fancy Widgets 1.3.0 right now and tried Beautiful Widgets, Weather & Toggle widgets, Fancy Widgets (v2 and v3) and many more.

And I tried Beautiful Widgets when it still looked like the HTC clock. Weather doesn't work though.

So do you guys have a suggestion? The app's mentioned above also don't feature the actual 'flipping'. However, this could be ignored.

If you have a suggestion please note:

- App name.

- Version

- Optional Skin

- Instruction to install (if necessary)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] norpan111:
Miuis clock is flipping but it does not have the weather I'm afraid
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Aeonys:
Weather and widget forecasts. Then go to download skins, one is called HT7. It will replicate the exact look of HTC widgets BUT,

The moon and sun and clouds are different, tapping brings different menu and it does not "flip" but just change time.

good enough if you ask me.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Greenie-UK:
have you Tried Beautiful Widgets ? if you download that and the Addon Package you can make it look very HTC Sense Like and have animated weather on unlock etc. all skins for both the clock and weather are browsed and downloaded in- App and they look awesome. ill upload a Screenshot from my phone in a sec !

It's not gonna work, my OB only worked on EDGE in the US. It had 3G everywhere in Europe. Unfortunately I permanently bricked it, and sent it back to Europe for repair. I don't think I'll be going back to the OB until it gets support in the US.
