[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
Is it possible to change app icons? I'm using Launcher Pro/TW Launcher and the Sony Ericsson skinned apps (Phone/Messaging/Email) don't match at all.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
the homescreen icons can be changed easly using Desktop Visualiser, if you want to change the app draw icons, use GO Launcher is has soooooo many themes out now :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
I tried it but it doesn't change the actual app icon.

Go Launcher is SOOOOOO laggy. I tried to like it,deleted it and tried it again after a few weeks. Still laggy. Laggier than ADW.

So far LauncherPro and TWLauncher are the snappiest launchers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forpulse:
Hi Everyone,

So I recently bought the nexus s from craiglist. Its only a month old according to the person i bought it from. Now, after using the phone for few days I realized the auto-rotate feature never worked. I can not do anything in landscape mode. I went to settings>display> and checked/uncheked auto-rotate. But nothing seems to work. So I'm not sure if the hardware for this to work is defected or is it a software issue? Does anyone know anything about this or how i can figure out whether its a hardware issue or software. Also, the phone's bootloader is unlocked... i also have clockworkmod recovery.

I also see an app called super user and ROM manager. but when i open rom manager i get a msg saying "you must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or /system/xbin/su". Use google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."

So, I am not sure if the phone is rooted and I don't mind rooting/unrooting as long as the auto-rotate works. so it would be great if any of you can advise me on how to get the phone's auto-rotate feature working. Thank you!

So, my cousins, who have Verizon came over to my house today. I asked if I could look at the Droid Charge, they said sure. Upon turning on the phone, I instantly notice the 4G LTE icon next to the signal bars, on top of it being 4-5 bars out of 6. So I had to do a speedtest to compare with Sprint's 4G (at my house, mind you). Verizon's 4G LTE hit 20,000 Kbps DL, and 3,000 kbps UL. Whereas Sprint hit 1,100 kbps DL, 300 kbps UL. I decided to really test this monster called 4G and hit up my home WiFi via Comcast. My Comcast high speed internet home service hit 13,000 kbps DL, and 6,000 kbps UL. This just made me sad that Verizon's LTE had that much potential. Sprint's 3G speeds score 2,650(ish) at my house for DL, but it's nothing compared to LTE. Will Sprint's LTE be better than WiMax to this extent, or is it just the location of the towers?

I'm happy with Sprint's unlimited service, so switching carriers isn't even an option in my mind, but I am curious as to what Sprint's 4G plans are later on.

I did laugh though, that the overpriced Droid Charge is on FroYo still. lol typical Samsung. :p
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I always wonder why people need 20 megabits on their phone...maybe for hot spot but other than that it is overkill. 2gb cap comes real fast at 20 megabits too.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Yep, which is exactly why I'm not on Verizon right now. lol! Verizon's 3G speeds are half Sprint's 3G speeds at my house. I just like the fact that the phone can handle downloading ROMs within seconds if necessary.
[Epic 4G General] dharkness:
at least my data aint throttled .... yet. :D
[Epic 4G General] lidc1y5:
The 2 gig cap is the problem. DL a movie and a few roms and the LTE is costing ya top $$$$$.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
yeah, I've already used up 2GB (from Netflix mostly) LOL while Comcast did maintenance one night.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Not to mention how much more Verizon plans are just to start with. You save almost enough for a broadband card for a laptop.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
You're tellin me! I barely get 200k of anything! Sprint LTE will be the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to my area!

I too live in a verizon LTE area with record breaking speeds.

[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
Me and my buddy who is on verizon with a charge also have done the compairsons showing verizon Is much faster. However verizons lte is very new, compared to "sprint" 4g which has sprint, comcast, and clear users on the network. When clear 4g hit seattle, I was early on the bandwagon and it wasn't uncommon for me to hit 14000 kbs down now I see maybe 7000kbs down on the regular. Also sprint teathering is the only way to get 4g without any throttling after heavy usage. Were as clear and comcast throttle after about 20gb usage a week roughly. So we will see as verizon loads its network what lte truely has to offer.

[Epic 4G General] The Root:
My wife has a Charge. I've watched the sickness that is their LTE. It also makes me glad I'm not sharing a bill. I think Sprint scares everyone else because they most resemble the mentality of Thomas Edison, “I shall make electricity so cheap that only the rich can afford to burn candles.”
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
The biggest impediment is money right now. Sprint and Clearwire need billions of dollars. Recent debt ceiling debacle has made corporate financing even harder and more expensive. Meanwhile, Lightsquared has to win over its regulatory issues concerning GPS.

The clock is ticking. Subscribers are fleeing. Ultimately, Sprint needs the iPhone ASAP.
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
My work is switching from sprint to verizon. I don't know why. But they are offering the lg revolution, the droid x, driod 2 incredible and of course the iphone 4. I told one guy good luck with that. I wouldn't mind trying the lg phone but still kinda lame they have to use a signal booster. So now my signal will be roaming

[Epic 4G General] sohardivetried:
excellent analogy. I dont know what 4g is like, its nowhere near my area at all. I use wifi on my home network, and that is 23,000kbps so its almost 4g haha.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
It very convenient when you're on the go, but when you're home WiFi is pretty much better to use than 4G because it doesn't strain the battery that much. The good thing about 4G is if Comcast is doing maintenance at your house like they did mine one night, you'll be without internet for a few hours and 4G as a temporary connection.
[Epic 4G General] drekosh:
I generally get 6 Mbps download and 1 Mbps up. Plenty quick for a phone in my opinion. For some reason at my work though, WiMax consistently tests out between 9 and 11 Mbps. Makes me think that I am either close to a tower or there aren't many 4G users out there. Either way, I can download data faster than the average person can to their home PC. No complaints here.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Damn I wish I had 20000 kbps on my phone. I have no 4g here and Verizon is roaming In my area. Luckily I use my wifi all the time and get like 18 megs down.

Hi all :)

After seeing so many people with their speed tests posted as their sigs, I was curious as to what everyone's average speed was.

So if you want to participate in this thread, go on mobilespeedtest dot com from your phone, run a 7MB test using your 4G data connection, and post your results here. Post your location if you like as well, I'm curious to see what people get.

Or as michael2041 suggested, you can also use the Speedtest.net app if you'd like. Anything that's optimized for mobile devices and can give you an image to post up is free game.

Please don't cheat, this isn't a competition. This is just a fun thread for people to contribute to :D

Here's my results with T-Mobile in NYC.

My highest results were like 29,000ish & my lowest was around 23,000.

I don't know what my 4G speed is yet.

T-Mobile doesn't have 4G. They have a beefed up variant of 3G.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
Not according to the agency that assigned the term 4g. Your smarter than that statment
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
:rolleyes: - okay i hear ya

the term xG, comes from the 1st Generation, 2nd Generation and so on. HSPA is the 3rd Generation. So wouldn't that mean HSAP+ is variant of HSPA. so it would still place it in the 3G bracket.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
If that is true has why is wimax consider 4g when it was invented in 2001 long before 3g in 2008?

To correct you 4g has to do with theoretical download speeds not the generation of technology. Hence, why both wimax and hspa+ are considered 4g
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I was told something completely different by a T-mo rep.

I was told that each generation has to meet 2 pieces of criteria. 1) has to be a updated hardware/software package then the previous version and 2) it has to meet a certain theoretical download speeds requirement.

Wi-Max is a updated software/hardware package then what sprint used prior to it. So they could call it the 4th Generation of Data transfer. Where as it didn't meet the specs of the download speed. I don't know how they got to use that name legally.

And didn't the counsel downgrade their standards to meet what Sprint and T-Mobile were producing with Wi-Max and HSPA+?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
to be considered a 4g the technology has to be able to achieve 100 mbit/sec download, which hspa+ is capable of.

Your mistake was listening to a tmobile rep lol:p
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
1.Well hspa+ is an update both in software and a firmware update at the towers and it meets their standard

2.Im not sure either

3. No they downgraded it to include all of them, LTE wasn't considered 4g either

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nissan350:
Hi guys, just had a quick question. I've done my searching on both Google and XDA and I'm posting this thread as a last resort.

I'm on build 7720 and I can't seem to figure out how to set up the integrated messenger. When I slide over to the "online" section in messaging it says there is no one online when clearly I have a few people online. How do I get my contacts to show up in the "online" section?

P.S. It's been like this on all 3 builds of Mango for me.

Thanks for any input guys!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
1) First question is, have you put yourself online in the status menu?

- Pull up the action bar, tap the status button, then tap 'online'. This will actually connect you and show you as online.

If you are online, then:

2) Do you have the right Windows Live ID sync'd?

- The integrated messenger app will only connect to the PRIMARY Windows Live ID. So you need to make sure that the Live ID you have set up with your phone initially (the one set as your main) is also the one you use for your Windows Live Messenger contacts.

If you have the right Windows Live ID, then:

3) Try adding a new contact and seeing if that contact appears on the phone.

- Add a new contact, preferably one not on your contact list currently, to see if the person shows up on your phone. Sometimes, it may simply be a sync'ing or provisioning error on Windows Live's end, and it may not be your phone. If this helps, you may have to remove your previous contacts and re-add them to allow Windows Live to provision them properly for your phone.

Then, if you are having issues with your Facebook contacts as well:

4) Contrary to popular belief, your Facebook contacts (or Twitter/LinkedIn contacts) not appearing is not a Windows Phone bug. Its simply a server side error with Windows Live and Facebook. Both of them need to sync up with your Windows Live ID, and sometimes that takes a while (from a couple hours to a couple days). In some cases, it doesn't happen at all, and a hard reset may be necessary to give Windows Live and Facebook a wake up call, but even this does not always work.

If all else fails:

5) Then unfortunately we can't be sure why its not working. Microsoft does not provide support for beta software so we probably won't see any real solutions until Mango is finally released and other people start reporting this issue. So you may be out of luck. Try a different Windows Live ID to see if that works, check to make sure your contacts haven't blocked you (or you blocked them). Or just wait it out and see if the Windows Live servers resolve it in time.

Hope it gets fixed for you. It has worked flawlessly for me ever since the first beta (though it did take a couple of hours for my contacts to show up initially), so its certainly not a Windows Phone issue.

Hi,

I have a different problem... for some reason I can only connect to the messenger service when I am on a wifi network? It won't work over the cellular network even with a hsdpa connection? It just says "Can't connect to chat".

[HTC EVO 3D] darkkarny717:
I tried that that i come up with a side load error. This isnt my first time rooting an android device. This is just confusing as hell
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
from the other posts i've seen, the sideload error is given when the ROM is using an older depreciated scripting language called amend (update-script). the ROM needs to use the newer scripting language called edify (updater-script).

i personally haven't experienced this but i also havent tried loading any older amend coded ROMs.

you can view which scripting language the ROM .zip file you're using has by viewing which file is located in META-INF/com/google/android/ . if the file is update-script, its the older depreciated amend language. if the file is updater-script, it is the newer edify language.

hopefully that is the correct solution and works for you!

edit: did a bit more research and saw a thread semi dedicated to this issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194245

seems it occurs not only from using the older depreciated scripting language amend, but using the newer edify scripting language, the update-binary file needs to be using api v3, which is the latest.

sorry the error in the recovery isn't more straight forward and helpful. hopefully this makes sense. essentially the developer needs to use the latest version of edify scripting in their ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] darkkarny717:
So would switching to another custom recovery work out this issue. Ive seen a lot of buzz that twrp is still kind of buggy. I love the way they have it srt up but i rooted to flash roms and if its the recovery preventing that ill switch.

i have been using twrp since release with very little issues...it is a very nice recovery.

are you downloading the roms from your phone or pc? i have had unsuccessful flashes when downloading rom from the phone.

Woo hoo guys and gals I just learned that I can get my upgrade now. I'm coming from the EVO 4G and want to know. Since u peeps already have the photon would u recommend me getting it or should I sit and wait and try my luck with the Samsung galaxy S2 coming out sometime this year? I'm asking here because all of you have first hand use with the photon some pros some cons so I'm sure you guys and girls will shoot me straight. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
i came from the Evo4G and not regretted it a bit. I love the screen, best phone/3G/4G/wifi/gps signal there is, never a moment of lag, love the curved glass look and gunmetal trim, better camera than the Evo, great battery life, it's rooted and an unlocked boot loader is about to be released by XDA developers. If you get it now, you can always exchange it in 30 days or go back to your Evo.
[Motorola Photon 4G] megan23247:
If I was you I would wait. This phone is cool but if ur coming from an EVO I don't think u will be impressed. Ive had two customers who both came from EVOs return the photon and get the 3D cause they didn't like it. I love this phone but i could see why people like the EVO better. Just my two cents.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Isildur1:
Use the upgrade now. This phone is awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] codee:
I'd definitely get the photon as well. I have 3 friends on the evo 3d wanting the photon instead. None of my friends on the photon want to switch. Photon wins hands down.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
I am the exact opposite. i felt like I would have lost more going to the 3D. Yeah you get 3d, but no kickstand, 5MP camera versus 8MP etc. The photon has the specs of the 3D (dual core, qHD screen, camera button, etc) plus the missing feature of the EVO 4G (kickstand, higher res camera, HDMI out, solid build). In addition it adds features such as the sd card slot which is HOT SWAPPABLE plus onboard memory, GSM, brighter screen in sunlight etc.

Both phones look like they will now be rooted (or soon enough) and both seem to have some good developers behind them. I chose the Photon for the reasons listed above as well as the cool nickname (MoPho) and much less of a GUI overlay (non-blur vs sense).

These are MY reasons for going this right. Hope that gives you a good viewpoint to help you decision.

In regards to waiting, there is the GSII (rumors are swirling saying it may not have the exyanos <sp> chip), nexus 3 and iphone 5 coming out. Only lots of rumors on those for now though.
