[HTC Sensation] bucknaked:
OK is it even worth it to root your sensation...IF you like!! the stock format senses and dont want a custom rom,because i found that its not any faster in do so,overclocking is limited so theres no real speed benifits

what do you think ?
[HTC Sensation] newter55:
I think that it is strange that one questions the need to root their device.
[HTC Sensation] bucknaked:
well rooting should make it run faster RIGHT?!? well i have two here with one rooted and the other stock.....want to guess which is faster ?
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
Thats a no brainer Rooting is always better
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
No, rooting will not automatically make your device faster. If you're happy with the stock ROM then leave it.
[HTC Sensation] newter55:
Nvm....it completely depends on what you do.with your phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSmokingAndroid:
Hey guys and gals. Im trying to figure out which app keeps alarm manager awake. As I understand it there is a way to see what app or service is using alarm manager . Can someone point me in the right direction? What commands or what ever do I need to know to see what I need to?

Edit: Ok so i figured out how to read my AlarmManager Stats.

open command and get into adb shell > dumpsys alarm

So here are the results, im suspicious of a couple but maybe someone can point out where the battery drain is coming from.

[Xperia Play General] nybaseball21:
how come gingerbreak doesnt work vzw play? trying to root without unlocking bootloader
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
It doesn't work on the vzw version cause they patched up the exploit before putting the phone out
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
Is there any way to root it?

I'm on 2.3.2, not 2.3.3 if it helps.
[Xperia Play General] Yufice:
It's rootable but takes a bit of work. They're working on a more permanent solution.
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
Oh really? Can I see the thread?
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
You need to unlock the bootloader. After that, go to the development forum and read the R800x root thread.
[Xperia Play General] nybaseball21:
You eventually gingerbreak or super one click will work
[Xperia Play General] Cl8rs:
So all I have to do is unlock my bootloader, then root it with Gingerbreak or SOC? Or should I wait for a better alternative?
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
You should go read the thread on rooting the R800x instead of asking here.

How would that possibly work?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
It works in exactly the same way that perpetual motion machines do. Or, more closely related, the way the signal booster patches do. That is, they're useful only for increasing the flow of money from your wallet to the vendor's.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topher227:
Nicely said, and very true! Years ago when i had Nextel, i had a retention rep swear to me up and down on his mother grave that this would cure all my signal problems I had.

Anyway, for things that really work.... take a look at Wilson Electronics (very $$$$$) or zBoost products (reasonably priced, and works, but not as well as the wilson)

If you're looking for an in home solution, i would probably recommend the Verizon Network Extender......... because while it is fairly pricey, it works very well. Good Luck!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 800xl:
My Tilt2 has developed a problem with the mic, very scratchy sounds, muffled sounding, pretty much useless as a phone without Bluetooth. Been paying the insurance on it since I got it more than a year ago.

According to at&t I'll be eligible for upgrades in Oct, but I'm wondering what a claim on the insurance would get me for the $50 deductible right now. Are they replacing Tilt2s with something else these days? Is it a choice or do they just pick something? I'd be happy with something in an Android phone maybe but I saw one thread here where someone said they got an HTC Surround to replace a Tilt2. I'm mostly running Xdandroid now so a Surround does not seem like a good replacement option if they stick me without a choice.

So, has anyone recently done an insurance claim on a Tilt2 and what did it get replaced with?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 800xl:
No one? Does anyone know a better place to ask the question maybe? Or should I just call in to Asurion and see what they have to say about it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sailow:
Best to just call, but they do have a site to file a claim. I used it to check what asurion was shipping as a replacement. However this was over a year ago, I don't know if this is true for AT&T.

(Sprint)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adidasno21:
from my experience, as I've lost phones in the past; i found it easy to call them, tell the the phone is lost, and then ask what the replacement options are.

If your not satisfied with the options, you can always opt not to use the insurance...citing the fact that the deductible ($50) is too high in your opinion, and that you will just use an old phone until you can upgrade....... OR just happen to find your lost phone...

let me know what they present as options... i have a tilt 2 that is malfunctioning too!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adidasno21:
kinda new at this thing, so i hope i'm replying correctly...anyways.

cliffs notes: they offered LG Quantum, HTC Surround, HTC freestyle, crappy blackberry. I ended up stringing them out for a week, and then they screwed up, and to make up for their mistake, they sent me a samsung focus. If you want the whole story, read on....

I ended up having mine replaced through asurion. I called them, they offered me in order:

-LG Quantum (they claim it is the most comparable, i kinda tend to agree after all my researching)

-HTC Surround

and if i wanted something different...

htc freestyle

or an old crappy blackberry (i didn't even write down the number)

I asked about the Samsung Focus, and was told that it wasn't available anymore, and that they were replacing the Focus with the LG Quantum. To this i was sincerely disappointed, because the focus seems to be the WP7 leader...

Anyways. I told them i needed to research the phones to decide. I dragged my feet for a week and called back, and finally got through to a supervisor, who told me that the max capacity of the TILT2 was a 16 GB microSD card. I was trying to argue that the Surround and Quantum didn't offer expandable memory like my tilt 2 did. After going over everything with him, he still wouldn't allow any other options.

I called back the next day, and decided just to get the Quantum.... :( I went through the process, and hung up....and waited for my confirmation email....that never came! I checked again the next morning, and still nothing!!! I called back, and spoke with another C/S agent who told me that my claim had never been completed!!! I was upset, and very disappointed.... I told he all about the process, and how i had wanted a focus, but was getting stuck with this.... and she was like, hold on. Let me see if that is available.... I'll have to get approval from my supervisor. So i'm on hold for a few mins...and she says YES! So i ended up getting the focus the next day, and so far its pretty sweet. Definitely a significant learning curve with WP7!!

So bottom line, i got a focus, and i'm happy cause i didn't have to renew my contract...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 800xl:
Thanks very much for the info! Too bad they don't seem to have an Android phone in the mix, and I'm not really sold on WP7 yet. In a perfect world they'd let me have a nice shiny new SGII and maybe a nice pony. ;) At least now I can research a little. Thanks again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] 800xl:
Last offer from asurion was either a Status, or an LG quantum. Well they offered an HTC Freestyle but that hardly counts. I ended up spending $50 for the Samsung galaxy S II on a black Friday special. I guess this means I am done with the Rhodium, and I already miss that keyboard. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] smorz:
I was wondering if it is possible to turn off the vibration that happen when you hold a finger on the screen or when you hold the power button.

Any solution? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexzon:
I just did a quick search on the Market but I couldn't find anything.

Why do you want to turn it down? Is that annoying? :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] smorz:
It makes me crazy! :mad:

I think that whole "hold" vibrations are managed by the system together, so by toggling the value i should probably succeed.

Let's the treasure hunt begin!

Pure speculation, and i hope it doesn't happen.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
I don't think it has to be with it being Miui, but more or less the probability of Samsung going after purchasing it. (But he's also said he doesn't care for Miui lol)

But also realistically speaking if Samsung were to buy Miui I don't think we'd get the one we'd all want to have but rather with Samsung's sometime erred perspective we'd get the bastard mixture of Miui and Touchwiz and it wouldn't be the best qualities of both.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
There is no such thing as a well designed port cover on anything nowadays. It's problematic to plug miniature holes securely and still allow to port to be accessed easily when needed.

The little soft rubber ones on P&S cameras suck worse, and the metal hinged ones on more expensive cameras are too easy to break.

[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
In coming from the Evo to the Photon, the biggest change for some on the down side is the font is smaller. And I can't find a perfect way to change it. I have 2 options and they are both a little flawed.

Font Size (for root users) - It works great but I am noticing that fonts are sometimes not big enough for the space they are in (menu items, widgets, and android market text are good examples) so the font is kind of cut off on the top and/or bottom. But the font does get larger.

Spare Parts + Pro - This changes the font perfectly. I can even select the largest size with no worries of fonts being cut off. The problem is, the setting is not saved. All you have to do is shut your phone off or worse, merely rotate your screen and the setting is gone.

Does anybody know a better suggestion? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cause I have to say, It is straight up ridiculous that this question needs to be asked. And I don't mean ridiculous of the community, I mean it is ridiculous that the people that develop the operating system do not include such a setting in every phone.

I"m greatful for the 2 apps I mentioned above and I registered both. But I really hope somebody knows a better suggestion, one that lets you increase the font size as reliably as Spare Parts + Pro and saves that setting like Font Size (for root users). I would really appreciate it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kimmied2000:
bump...wanting same solution. Spare parts won't hold setting for me, either.

What do you think the chances are that someone will develop a ROM that incorporates larger font sizes?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:
I haven't found anything that works like you're looking for. Unfortunately most apps were designed with a lower resolution in mind. Now that phones are arriving with higher resolutions developers are gonna need to update their apps.

The Evo was what 800x480? Photon (and other QHD's) run 960x540. BIG difference for text on you screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stevieraveon:
If you're rooted you can use something like LCD Density changer to mimic the density of the EVO 4g (LCD density of Evo 4g was 240)

[Motorola Photon 4G] Bandage:

[Motorola Photon 4G] kimmied2000:

[Motorola Photon 4G] uncfan44:
i changed my lcd density in the rom toolbox and now so many apps will not let me download them... any idea what the lcd density should b on the photon so i can go back to that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pesto242:
I have not found any phone different than 240. I have the photon and it was 240.

I have the same issue with apps like you. I have to reset my density to 240, reboot and then update my apps now and then.

http://www.androidcentral.com/leake...c-evo-3d-get-updated-aug-23-conquer-4g-aug-21

Good news if your rocking an HTC EVO 3D or planning on picking up a Samsung Conquer 4G -- both are soon to see some updates according to a page from the latest Sprint playbook. We're pouring through it, and this one caught our eye.

The EVO 3D is scheduled to have an update to version 2.08.651.2 sitting and waiting for users to go get on Aug 18, and will begin being pushed on Aug 23. While it's not a major upgrade (no, you're not getting Ice Cream Sandwich just yet), it looks like it addresses some bugs and should be welcomed by many. Fair warning -- that shiny new bootloader crack and root method may be patched in this one.

The Conquer 4G looks to be getting a security patch on release day, bumping it to build Gingerbread EG15. Specifics are lacking, other than an enhancement/fix to device security. Nobody is going to complain about that.
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:

[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I would love to say "Everybody remember, don't be tempted to take the OTA, just wait for it to appear here cleaned up. If you aren't s-off&rooted and would like to definitely do not take this OTA, if you are s-off&rooted definitely do not take this OTA as this may come with a new hboot that would lock you back up again."

But I know that everybody who knows better doesn't need to be told and everybody else won't listen anyway. So why don't you just take the OTA and post a thread about how you lost root? ;)
