[EVO 4G General] smokescreen7:
What with MIUI making lock screens customizable, and the EVO gods somehow automatically knowing what every thread is about without reading them....

How cool, would a lock screen that looked like a "theatrical" biometric scanner, wherein the user need touch and hold where the "scanner" is for a few seconds for the phone to unlock.

Anyone else have any neat lock screen ideas?

Yea, but I don't think I can say those here. :)

[EVO 4G General] Black-Dash:
A real fingerprint scanner lockscreen would be too freaky, speaking from a security standpoint. I'm sure the government will issue phones like that some time in the near-future, to safeguard us all from 'terrorism'.

Sent From My UN-Rooted Evo! :(
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
I don't think the OP was talking about a real fingerprint reader. The Evo's screen isn't capable of capturing that anyway. The idea of an unlock screen that looks like a fingerprint reader does sound kind of cool, although if it worked by just holding your finger in one spot while it "scans," it might be too easy to unlock it by mistake.
[EVO 4G General] Mark_Hardware:
Yeah I thats the one I thought of. That's like exactly what he's talking about. It pretends to read your fingerprint to unlock your phone. It's kinda cool, but loses its novelty.
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
https://market.android.com/details?id=visidon.AppLock&feature=search_result

only works as a ''lockscreen'' if you use a replacement launcher like adw, LPP, etc and choose the launcher as a locked app.

works fairly well after several training photos are taken in all sorts of settings and light, but is just too slow for my tastes... although i am excited too see how much better it gets, as it could be a serious consideration after further development

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] smokescreen7:
that's awesome! Thanks for the link! Totally what I was thinking. Face recognition by the camera would be cool too, although my front face camera got spooky 6+ months ago, so I don't know if that would ever work...
[EVO 4G General] demonic_crow:
This would be very cool. Just improve on the facial lock that comes with the camera and we be good to go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adolfops:
I bought my Galaxy S2 week ago on United States, but it's imported I don't know where.

I got it today, and when I tried setup it the touchscreen problem started.

I don't touch on screen but it "auto" click on middle left of screen, so, it's impossible use.

I tried restore to factory and no lucky to fix it.

When i put the S2 on charge ou USB cable connected on computer, the touchscreen "auto" click stop, but if i remove the cable connected, it return.

Anyone know why this? I can't return to EUA to change and need know if is software issue ou hardware.

Can I call to samsung on Brazil and ask about it to change or fix the problem? I need pay?

It's a new phone, I need fix this with Samsung or w/e...

Same Problem

hello, I'm facing the same problem, i bought my s2 a month ago with 1 year warranty, i faced strange issue, i was using the phone as a WiFi hotspot, then left it on the table and went to sleep, i wake up and the screen isn't responding, then i noticed a crack in the upper right of the screen, i know warranties exclude broken screens and damages caused by improper usage, although that i didn't cause the crack of the screen(no one would believe that) i went online and bought a replacement, it arrived 2 weeks later, i went online and checked on how to replace it, i did all the procedures and replaced the screen and everything went well and i got the phone functional again, but the screen went crazy with auto touches in the middle of the screen i tried everything possible by software and hardware, anyways i realized it has nothing to do with software, then by hardware i checked everything and all was right, any possible solution other than Samsung repair center?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powermax91:
did you solve it ? and how ?

[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
So I've got a non-rooted HTC Sensation 4G (TMoUS) and the phone has been acting very weird. I finally called T-Mobile because data was working in 4G areas but not 2G areas. My apn was correct, so I couldn't think of a reason for it. As you likely suspect, guy had me power down to reprovision me.

My phone was taking forever to reboot (as usual - 3+ minutes) and the guy told me to pull the battery. At the point that I pulled the battery, I had the black HTC splash screen up. After I rebooted again, I only get to the T-Mobile "Stick Together" splash screen, the screen goes black as if the phone is turned off (no backlighting), and never to the black HTC splash screen anymore. The phone no longer responds to any key presses and to reboot I need to remove the battery.

I did the thing where I hold the volume button down and can access hboot. My issue is that I don't want to do a factory reset just yet. I want to get booted up so I can backup my SMS/Call Logs and whatever else isn't automatically backed up. I tried choosing the "recovery" option from hboot and get the red triangle with exclamation mark. By accident, I discovered that holding volume up and hitting the power button brings up an additional menu. It also shows some yellow text that says the following:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E:Error in /data/data/recovery/log

(Read-only file system)

I go ahead and select the "Reboot system now" option and see a message that says:

Success Rebooting by reason:oem-00...

E:Error in /data/data/recovery/log

E:Error in /data/data/recovery/log

...and then it reboots; with no success, of course.

What am I able to do to backup or recover the data not automatically backed-up? Is there a self-healing or self-repair mode that stops short of wiping my data? What isn't backed up by the phone to Google and what is backed up to the SD card? It's a shame that the manual doesn't explain this crap. I actually can't even find a post that explains the options in the hboot menu and the potential repercussions of selecting a particular option. I'm at a loss here, sorry.
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
I know you say it's a last resort, but I would try resetting to factory using the stock RUU. If you still have these problems it maybe a problem with the NAND (I've seen similar problems with PCs but I don't know how reliable NAND is compared to regular RAM).
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
I just don't want to lose my call logs and/or SMS messages.
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
If my phone can make it to hboot, can't I use the SDK/ADB to somehow grab my /data from the phone?
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
I'm having a very hard time accepting that there is no self-heal or self-repair function for Android short of doing a factory reset and losing all but the data on your SD. There must be a way.

[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
If you had an htc sense account linked to your phone all your texts and your call log are backed up to the cloud automatically. If you send it for repair and it gets reset or replaced, add the sense account back to the new phone to get your logs back.

You can go to htcsense.com if you wish to confirm your stuff is up in the cloud.

[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
Just in case any of you out there were sitting in the boat that I was sitting in, I figured I would share a tidbit of information.

I wanted to root the phone but was it worth the $99 HD station purchase? For me, no brainer. YES - if you could change the font size with "font size for root users" from the android market. But, Font size always warns that your system may not boot after the change so please backup first.

So, I bought the HD station for the purpose of rooting just to try font size (and yeah, the other stuff too). For me, Font size worked just fine. It offers the same goodness (the font is larger) and the same badness (If you overdo it, you'll get cut off letters in parts of the system and other apps.)

So, I just post this in case there's anyone out there who felt as I did that I was almost willing to wait for an alternative to the HD station rooting method but want the font size to be larger or smaller YESTERDAY. It does work for me. Still, make a backup just in case. And by the way, having the HD station around isn't such a bad idea. Honestly though, I think of it the same way as my Acer Iconia tab's case. They are essentials at least to me. But they're priced about twice what they should be. Oh well.

Im 14, and I have a samsung vibrant with T-Mobile. I've had the phone 7 months now... this thing has been the amazing, but some other phones have caught my eye.

Im curious, how much, give me a range of possible, is it going to cost me to get the T-Mobile G2x, and cancel my vibrant, so, make the vibrant have no sim card and switch my number to the G2x. So how much will it cost me just to cancel the 2 year plan thing? Thanks!
[Networking] Maxamillion:
how about just doing an early upgrade? you should be able to do it.. Probably not a full free upgrade but a discounted upgrade at least.
[Networking] Steven 1:
I believe All you really need to do is switch sim cards since you have a GSM network. Sell your vibrant and buy a g2x on Craigslist. Problem solved(99% sure)
[Networking] Product F(RED):
I used this ETF calculator. According to you, you entered your contract in January 2011? So you end January 2013. I don't know what day, so I used the middle of the month (15th).

It said it would cost you $200. Bids on eBay are from $150-$220. Let's say best case, you sell it for $200, that would knock out the termination fee. But you'd still have to pay $150 for the phone, plus tax, plus activation fees. Plus you'd need to convince your parents to do it. Why not just sell your Vibrant and buy a G2X or do a trade? It's much easier.
[Networking] synaesthetic:
I wouldn't get a G2x unless you take a good look at it first. The phone has a lot of issues, and there's not much wrong with the Vibrant, except Samsung's crappy software.

If I were you I'd put CM7 nightlies on the Vibrant, enjoy the huge speed boost you get by using a lightweight AOSP ROM, and wait for the Samsung Hercules.

Edit: With T-Mobile you can just yank the SIM out of your Vibrant and put it in whatever phone you want. Don't have to worry about activations or anything, it'll just work. I've done it, back before I switched to Sprint.
