[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Visionary only gives you root, not S-Off. If you are on CM7, then you must have S-Off (in order to be able to flash any custom ROMs). Do you remember how you got S-Off? You probably did Visionary than gfree, and just don't remember doing gfree. Did you use ADB, and enter any terminal/command lines on your desktop computer? If so, you probably did gfree.

If you did gfree, then you have Subsidy Unlock, which means your phone is SIM-unlocked. Nothing else to do, just slip the new SIM into your phone and use it.

Some people have had an issue, where applying the T-Mobile SIM unlock code renders their phone unable to read any SIM. So I would stay away from the code, and do gfree, if you have not already.

Hi, i'm from argentina and i got and At&t atrix, after install the 4.5.9.1 with pudding ( i've unlocked the bootloader before installing the sbf and backup the pds) i got a problem with the fingerprint scanner when it's soft pressed it acts like a ghost finger at the top of the screen, now every custom rom (now running alien#3) or sbf (including the stock 4.5.9.1 sbf) is having the same problem, any idea how to fix it ?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
What do you mean 'ghost finger'?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdilello:
i mean that when i put my finger to the fingerprint scanner it's tapping the top of the screen i also have problem with the touchscreen it becomes unresponsive and the touch controls too, i'm having these problems several times in a day and the phone becomes unusable, i try to hard reset, wipe dalvik, flash any rom i find (always 4.5.91 roms) and fruitcakes too, this is weird because when i have the stock rom (4.1.83) and the bootloader locked nothing of these happens
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
It touches the top of the screen? Does it have water damage (perhaps humidity or moisture damage)?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
this only happens when touching the scanner? this could be the ghost finger issue which i have. I have found ways to minimize but not fully eliminate.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdilello:
it don't have water damage, these not only happen with the scanner sometimes the screen goes crazy and becomes unresponsive and begin tapping everything in the screen

Can you clarify what you mean by "the issue with the scanner"?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregulator:
I think he means when he tries to use his fingerprint scanner the phone somehow registers a touch at the top of the screen? What doesn't make sense to me is how does he know this. If the phone is locked how does he know it's registering a touch at the top of the screen?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdilello:
yes that's what i mean, i can register it when i'm going to lock the phone i press a little the scanner button and appears like i touch the top of the screen

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
interesting. I wonder if mine does that too.

unfortunately this looks like its a hardware problems. and acts finicky with the drivers. I have done the fixes in that thread i posted which work some times but it comes back. the latest thing i have done is open up the device myself (about a 75% teardown) and then put it back together. it seems that is a pinched sensor. on my end i could easily reproduce when the device gets hot (ie when on the car dock)

If you can, my first reccomendation is to send it in for a new one if possible. 2nd repair. I haven't send mine in as bell says it could take weeks and all i would get is an old nokia during that time (no smartphones)
[Nexus S Accessories] kvs678:
Hi,

I was very interested in this TPU case, due to its matte-finish back and glossy rim. I also liked the fact that it was located in the US and therefore could reach me relatively quickly.

However, the listing ended before I could purchase it.

I soon found this case, but due to the lack of clear pictures, I am unable to tell whether or not it has a matte back like the previous case.

Has anyone purchased this case?

Also, has anyone found any cases that are similar to the first case (TPU, matte back, etc.) and are located in the US?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Accessories] Roland27:
I would be interested to know some info about this case as well.
[Nexus S Accessories] yaronyud:
TPU cases are nice usually dont attract dust and oil..

but it protect you only from scratches and very very light bumps.. not real protection.. so you need to take that in mind.
[Nexus S Accessories] kvs678:
Good to know, thanks for the input.

So, does anyone know about the cases in the OP?

[Motorola Photon 4G] sanfranx415:
I am getting SMS Error - Cause Code Addr.Vcnt.,0

I have only experienced this on sending International txt messages but when you send a long txt msg your phone normally splits the txt messages into the allowed txt size for example you can write up to 160 per message and if you go over your phone splits it into seperate txt messages instead of 1 but I tried to send one long message internationally and got the error code instead of splitting the message.

I have even tried doing this on shorter messages right over 160 like 161 it still gives me the error code. This is the first phone I experienced this on other phones it would split the message.

Has anyone experienced this or is there a fix, I wonder if sprint is aware of the problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sanfranx415:
Ok I called sprint and they Identified the error code right away. Stating that error is when a network on the other end does not accept msg over a certain amount of characters.

So the cause of this is motorola not Sprint, they stated they intentionally did not put in the software for splitting the msgs automatically when going over a certain amount of characters it keeps it as one big message.

The issue has been reported to them by various customers already and have gotten no response back from motorola.

Hopefully we can get an update on this soon
[Motorola Photon 4G] kimmied2000:
Try the handcent app. It will allow you to split messages. I'm using it on the photon now and it works great. Has a lot of customizable features, too. And, best of all, FREE!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sanfranx415:
Thanks I will give it a try , but still would be nice if Motorola would change this in their first update from sprint.

It is sprint. I will be on the phone and sms someone and get this error back. I am literally texting only hi or hey or test while I am on the phone and it is getting a failed error code 0.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hakunen:
Can I unlock Infuse 4g to Verizon ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] etijburg:
No this a gsm phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
Nope, this doesn't support CDMA technology, which is what Verizon and Sprint use. Unlocked, it will support GSM (SIM cards) like AT&T and T-mobile as well as foreign GSM providers. There are a couple of phones that do both, but to my knowledge AT&T has never had one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No. No GSM phone can operate on Verizon's CDMA2000 network. Some of Verizon's phones are dual-mode and can accept a GSM SIM, but it doesn't go the other way around.

The Infuse can operate on T-Mobile's network, but only at EDGE speeds - TMo uses different bands for 3G than AT&T does.

I saw this post from last year and thought it'd be fun to get another consensus on the subject, particularly as there is now way more choice. :p

Personally I've fallen in love with SwiftKeyX, but I'd be interested to know where people's preferences/frustrations lie. Do you stick with Stock, or love Swype or GO, or any of the other hundreds out there?
[General Questions and Answers] athani:
SwiftKey X for me too. I've used Swype as well. The typing experience in the two is totally distinct so i guess it boils down to individual preference. But even leaving that aside, SwiftKey X is better, IMHO.

I have to agree with you there! I just flashed my Thunderbolt and Galaxy Tab 7 to GB. However, I w2ill find myself going back to Flex T9 because I dictate a lot and the voice recognition is Godly. You don't have to put punctuation in like you do with Google's voice recognition and unlike Google's I have dictated near paragraphs using Flex T9.

Also, I got Flex T9 off of Amazon's Daily Free. It has to be my most used app.

[General Questions and Answers] Daeva:
I love SlideIT, very fast and easy.

My favorite feature is the shortcuts you can add, just slide the abbreviation you can set yourself and it will type your specified sentence.

E.g. some built in ones, slide BRB = Be right back, very simple, but very handy if there is something you type again and again, the shortcuts can really speed up your typing. Also it's a nice way to type in e-mail addresses in really fast on sites or apps that you need to log in to.

The new default skin on SlideIT looks bad though, but you can switch to the classic skin, looks much better.

SWYPE keyboard.. works really well for me..

And I just got SwiftKey x because of this thread and... I freaking love it:-)
[General Questions and Answers] Wileyworld:
swype

I just took a look at the couple preferred by previous posters, but I am so happy with the free Swype, I couldnt see spending for perhaps a slight advantage.

I love the swype technique along with the voice feature (tho that requires data I believe). You basically slide your fingers across the keys without lifting between keys. It works faster than you can slide the finger around. I like that I can swype a paragraph and very quickly edit any wrong words it selected. Its intuitive for making quick corrections.

My wife converted to it after insisting on getting droid with physical keyboard due to a neurological disorder that makes her hands rather jerky and flinchy. She is so taken with it she forgets she has keypad when she does need it...

A close second is also a free app called shapewriter, which is essentially the same app, but doesnt have the microphone button. It isnt a market app so I got it elsewhere (dont remember who provided a link to it). Definitely worth a look if you can find it. I use titanium backup to preserve it on my phone.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
These are issues I have. I am running 2.3.3 OTA, unrooted.

1. Bootloop, factory reset fixed.

2. When I manage applications, if I click on an app, it reroutes me to a different one, so I often uninstall the wrong app.

3. Touch screen sometimes fails, reboot fixes.

4. Clock app disappeared, the factory reset mentioned earlier fixed it.

These just really annoy me.

Hmm. The only issues I've had are related to system apps randomly being uninstalled. It is definitely frustrating, especially when my phone app disappears.

HTC responds to me:

"Dear **** *****,

Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC, ****. We are sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with your HTC Incredible 2 after the recent update. We will gladly assist you with this inquiry.

With regards to the clock/alarm feature missing, this is something we are aware of and we are working on a resolution. Currently, we do not have an ETA as to when this fix will be available.

With regards to the other issues you were experiencing, these are not known issues at this time. For the failure to load issue, the only thing we could offer for that is to preform the factory reset. With regards to the market app, we could suggest you clear the data from the app by going to menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all(at the top)>market>clear data. Once the data is cleared we would ask you to restart your phone and try again.

It is entirely possible that the update did not apply correctly during the setup process causing the issues you have experienced. This could be why the factory reset has corrected these issues at this time.

If you run into any of these issues again, we would suggest that you try your phone in safe mode before jumping to a factory reset. This will disable third party apps and drivers from launching when the phone is powered on. You will still be able to make and receive calls, text messages, email, and use the internet.

To put the Incredible 2 into Safe Mode, use the following steps. Be patient with these steps, you may not get it into Safe Mode on the first attempt.

With the phone powered off, remove the battery for 10-20 seconds and re-insert it.

Press the Power key on your device

When you see the white screen with "HTC" on it, press & hold Menu key until OS loads.

"Safe Mode" text will appear on the lower left of screen to advise that you are in safe mode,to get out of safe mode just restart the phone.

If the issue was not happening while the device was in safe mode, this would indicate some kind of conflict or interference from a third party application. You would need to rule them out by uninstalling the apps until you find that the phone is working normally again, and then avoid using that app or combination of apps.

We deeply regret any inconvenience this has caused you, ****. As always, we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have between 6am to 1am EDST, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number *****************.

Sincerely,

Angela

Well i rebooted today and when i turned the phone back omn i kept getting android.process.acore has stopped working over and over again so i cannot use my phone.

I tried booting the phone to recovery but it just freezes on the LG logo i help down the down volume button and held the power button to do this, i installed clockworkmod using the rom manager and it worked fine then why isnt it working now wtf use is a recovery if it doesnt work when its needed.

I was using the stock rom v10d.
