[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechDagan:
Installed via clockworkmod . . .

I just installed the combo file via clockworkmod recovery. Everything went well, so I thought I'd document my experience to keep anyone from having a heart attack while waiting to find out whether or not they just bricked their phone.

The initial flash took about 2 seconds to complete.

After rebooting, I got the icon of the open box with a yellow arrow coming out and pointing at the Android robot. That lasted for about 60 seconds, then the standard htc EVO 4G splash screen popped up.

That was then followed by a similar box-arrow-Android screen with a progress bar along the bottom, which lasted for about 30 seconds.

Finally, the standard splash screen appeared again, which held for about 60 seconds, then my ROM loaded just fine, although it took about 2 minutes to do so.

Not exactly scientific, but I also documented a speed increase after updating. A speed test from 3 weeks ago had me at 1131/82kbps. Just now, I got 1567/115kbps. I probably should have done the test _before_ updating to have a better comparison, but this is what I've got.

Last time there was a radio update, there was pc36img version, with all 4 updates in it. You could see it loading all three in Hboot. This time, I can only fined the radio itself, so I guess I need to do it in recovery, which freaks me out.

BTW, how is everything? Any noticeable differences?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Flashed all of the new updates, even though I had the only thing that was needed updating was the radio. Reprovisioned data, and I have to say: the previous radio, I got very little cell standby drain. This new radio, even lower drain.

Signal seems to hold better too. Speeds seem equivalent, have not run a speed test yet.

Hi

I have HTC Incredible S. Is there any way to add HTC widgets in Go Launcher's home screens ?

Go Launcher is a application by which u can add as many home screens u want and can change the look of menu screen etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsmart:
HTC Widgets are tied to sense framework and therefore can only be used on phones with HTC sense(launcher). So you cannot use these widgets in alternative launchers.

Anyone tried Nemus Launcher from the Market? Just found it & it's pretty smooth. What launchers work best for you?
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
LauncherPro Plus With 3D Icon Pack.
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
I've run them all and I am using ADW Launcher EX right now. It seems to be the most flexible of the bunch and there is a ton of support for it. Launcher Pro is awesome too and has notifications built in. GoLauncher is great too with tons of theming options. Zeam is really fast and clean. Launcher 7 rules if you like the wp7 look (and I do).

Just experiment for a while and freeze what you don't like at the moment. Get home switcher too. It took me 2 months of switching a few times a day to finally land on ADW Launcher.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Hunter054321:
I like LauncherPro, its smooth with alot of options.
[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
I was looking for new launchers to try, and ended up making a pretty big list of them. There ended up being tons more than I thought I could find. So I posted them with links to the Phandroid forums @ Android Forums > Android Discussion > Android Applications > The Big List of Home Launchers. Still a newb here, can't post links yet. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Thanks man, I'll check it out. I'm basically looking for performance & resource usage in a launcher. Lean & mean with a few customizations. I've tried adw, launcherpro, zeam, go launcher, launcher2 & blurhome. So far, I'm pretty impressed with Nemus. Today.
[Motorola Droid X2] hapyman:
I use go Launcher, I like how I can add as many pages as I like and the Go widgets are nice especially the calendar one.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
I have used LauncherPro, ADW, Launcher 7 and Zeam. I really liked how light and fluid Zeam was but am rocking Launcher 7 for the time being.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Go launcher ex. Most features of the bunch, and it's free.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I dl'ed spb shell 3d v1.2.2. And w/ frozen mkt and airplane on did a diy trial.

Liked it so much I did the email buy off the dev.s webpage. Dx is supported while Dx2 is not(yet) so there is no mkt support. Mine is V122 bld 20139
[Motorola Droid X2] Meticode:
I just tried it and it's promising, but the lack of options hurt it. It's pretty smooth though.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I'm a little too ocd for a slew of options so leaner is better for me. My all-time favorite has been launcher2.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
+1 For OCD!
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
I currently am using the Go launcher with the tron theme and I'm liking it so far. I would like to find a launcher that has some nice HD themes. The qHD screen we have goes to waste with some of these low resolution themes.
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
+1 Go launcher is pretty good. Just tried out one called DX Launcher earlier today. Seemed pretty smooth and has some really cool screen transitions
[Motorola Droid X2] dimitri407:
Only issue I had with Go Launcher is when I would try to open the App Drawer or press the phone icon, I would have to do it several times for it to register. But no problems with LauncherPro.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Constantly switching between ADW EX and Launcher7.The minimalistic feel of L7 gets me every time..
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Sometimes less IS more...
[Motorola Droid X2] sn1p3r6992:
I've tried them all, and still keep going back to lpp ........ :)
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
Yeah me too. I really like the minimalistic feel of L7, but it's reeaaally slow compared to ADW launcher EX. I still use launcher 7, but it needs a bit of polish imo.

I've used GO Launcher, but I liked the more customizable aspect of ADW. Also used Launcher Pro, that didn't stay long.

ADW and Launcher 7 are the best bets so far.

suddenly i lost the usb connect with the pc. i cant use the usb mass storage. but previously there was no problem at all. now when i want to use the usb mass storage. i click "connect storage to pc" then plug in the usb cable. but after that nothing happened. the phone still showing "connect storage to pc". then i clicked it. it tells me to remove the cable... or just charging the phone. any advise on it? thank you so much.

PS. i am in vallianrom 2.4.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
This is so obvious that I'm sure you've already done it, but have you restarted your PC? If so, try it in a different USB port to rule out whether it's the PC or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin24173493:
i have tried to reboot my pc and my phone. tried on different usb port and even other pc. none of them can recognize my phone. very weird:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I find in such cases a total removal of USB devices on that port followed by a removal of all Kies folders registry entries etc then reinstall works .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin24173493:
may i know how to perform a removal of all kies folders registry entries and then reinstall? thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
If it doesn't work on other PCs then it's more likely it's the phone that's the problem. If you have CWM or Titanium then I'd recommend doing a backup and doing a hard reset, just to see if it works after that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kin24173493:
i have wiped out everything and install the rom again but still couldnt get it done. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuniorGG:
Hi m8, I hate to say it, but I'm afraid that if by trying with another pc, the phone does not connect, you'll have to factory reset it. I had a similar problem and that was the only solution for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynamesteve:
try:

settings - applications - development - untick usb debugging retick it and try again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teio:
It's more likely to be a problem on your phone's usb...

I had this problem on my X10 and it would only charge but never connect to mass storage... The only solution was to send it to be serviced...

Meanwhile a good solution to transfer files to your phone is to use any wireless sync app.. Like sugarsync, dropbox or Awesome Drop.

I strongly recommend using Awesome Drop for small files... Just download the app on your phone, go to their website on your pc and simply drop the file on the designed space and it will be synced with ur phone...

Very fast and easy... I never connect my phone to my PC again for file transfer...

I wouldn't use it for large file transfers though... Even though I have successfully transfered a ROM (250mb), some people had problems transfering large files through Awesome Drop... I recommend dropbox or sugarsync for those...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Slims34:
I search a Iphone Theme for the Xperia X8 ?

Who now a Theme he tell me please.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Chris95X8:
There's no iPhone theme for Android in general till now but I will create one...as soon as I learn Java...and some other Android stuff....:p
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Slims34:
I had heard from a Adw Launcher Mod. There is a Iphone Theme.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Chris95X8:
Well, yeah but you theme only your launcher, not the entire system (status bar, system icons etc.)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Slims34:
Can you post pls this Adw Launcher Mod , if you have it ?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] RockitOut11:
For CM7 there is a MIUI theme, thats a bit identical to iPhone4 look i think
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] codfreak:
Try this.

Or flash the ROM "iDroid", you can find it in the X8 android development forum.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Slims34:
Can you write the Cm 7 Miui in the Thread pls?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] jiawei0309:
U can try go launcher ex...there got 1 theme named iphone theme go launcher ex
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] AbirXtreme:
Some launchers have i phone themes of thier own,, ,, but why would an android user want an iphone theme? makes no sense :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Chris95X8:
That's another story. Android users may not like iOS in general but they may like it's UI elements like icons, colors etc. That's why some of us want that theme. (I'm actually building it up :) )
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Kaoshi:
ya, but then you need to purchase the Iphone theme pack and download it.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] jahlovePL:
You can use MIUI Launcher by Vipitus, but it's quite slow and not very configurable.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] jiawei0309:
i using it...it is free...
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] MiloX8:
Try "i2theme" for ADW Launcher ;)
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] El Brillantinas:
How ironic things are; when I had an iPod, I jailbreaked it and I installed to it an Android theme:

Hahaha.

ok, i am unlocked, leeDroided desire HD. I am on O2uk (not that it matters) but when i put my worldsim into the phone everything works apart from the fact i cannot make out going calls as it it barred.

When i go into the 'settings, call, Call barring settings' i get a network or sim error message. but i can see at the top that 'All Outgoing' is enabled, but i cannot turn it off!

Anybody have any ideas?

Oh but if i use the worldsom in my xperia x10 that has been in the attic for months it works fine and i can make / receive calls no issues

Hi,

i contacted samsung technical support concerning the newtron rings issue and ask to get an extended warranty through them instead. But i learned that this issue has never been reported to samsung. We should all contact and let samsung know about this issue just in case down the road we encounter this problem. this is actually my second tablet, the first one i got has this problem and it will be just a matter of time for you to get it too. READ THE CONVERSATION i had with samsung. my fear is that samsung will eventually ignore our situation when we get this problem.

Juanita G: Could you please be more specific about the issue with the tab?

gtabby: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ab-10-1s-experiencing-newtons-rings-is-yours/

gtabby: just to also let you know my first purchase was on maimi and as soon as i landed on chicago i had to run to the closest best buy to get an exchange because of this issue

gtabby: but it seems that it will eventually happen to all tablets...

gtabby: with makes my current tablet a target

Juanita G: Just to confirm, is there any issue with your tab now?

gtabby: no.. but what would i do if i get this issue without a warranty?

gtabby: i can't just live it, i mean this is a a $600+ purchase

Juanita G: I am sorry; there are no reported issues regarding this.

gtabby: ok.. so this is a new issue? and no one has reported this on your end?

gtabby: i'm sure best buy has a few return regarding is issue.. because i return one

Juanita G: I apologize; there are no such issues on this tab model.

gtabby: ok.. please humour me then, what is my next step if i get this issue down the road?

gtabby: this is basically a hardware issue

humor aside, there are quite a few threads regarding this already, no need for another one!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
I don't understand the anxiety. I periodically get them. However, it doesn't affect performance and I can't see them when the screen is on unless I turn it at a extreme angle.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
I believe it's evidence of the apocalypse. Isn't "minor tablet defect" one of the four horsemen?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burhanistan:
Personally, I liked the new Tron better than the original. Both are fun, though, and shouldn't be taken as literal representations of how computers work or anything. They're metaphors for the interaction of logic and emotion.

Oh, sorry. I've not seen any issue with Newton rings on my tab, but it pretty much just stays at home.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PookiePrancer:
Thanks for the laugh!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Oh, karma bit me in the ass today.

First time I've ever had the newtons rings. Left the tab out in the sun for a bit (love that I can actually read in the sun on this screen) and had the issue when i picked it up and touched the screen. They went away after a few seconds, literally as I watched, and have not come back. Now that I've experienced it though I can't really see the big deal. You really can't see it when the tab is on. Well, serves me right for making fun anyways.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mroneeyedboh:
Haha karma can be a ***** and I bet com me posting this now I'll get my own set.. btw I don't have them. But it seems that there are tons of people that do not have them. Maybe its the way people handle their tabs. Sure these tabs shouldn't have issues from a bit of rough handling or the like. And what's funny to me at least, his that the people that have them and send them into samsung, to be replaced.... they get thm again shortly after the replacement is in their hands. That leads me to belive that they handle it rough. Or something....

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
I'm guessing it's a warm climate that does it. Like I said in mine, it happened because it was hot. The real question is whether it's really an issue. If you can't see it when it's turned on, why worry about it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
What serial number you have on your tablet?

I have the R63B (3rd batch), no probs what so ever... I was in the sun for a week while in vacation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] J33per:
Maybe you shouldn't leave it in your car or whatever your doing to create such high heat or humidity... I dunno, never had an issue with mine, but then again, I don't let my tablet or laptops sit in the oven that can be a car on a hot day... Common sense tells me that it isn't a smart thing to do, but I am not an expert.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wlighter:
in my case the cause is heat... if you add pressure to the heat the NR will become worst and take longer time to cure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Raistlin1:
My tab gets them when you turn the tab upside down, or if you hold the tab in a vertical position.

I never had this problem until I had the Ghost Armor installed on the back of my Tab. I guess having the tab upside down and the pressure from the install cause this to initially occur. The rings did not go away for several days and then they finally went away but they come back when I turn it upside down or on its side but then go away within 30 seconds.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Didn't mean to thank you for that post. In fact just the opposite. Maybe you're not familiar with the concept of climate. You see in some places the world is warmer than others. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and blame your self-righteousness on your climate.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Cpt Streamline:
I have the same problem and it is getting bigger and bigger. I called up Samsung and they also said it isn't a known problem but they would book it in for repair. That would be great however I need it for work.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rlarsen462:
I have the Samsung book cover case (dunno if it's related), and for some reason in the last couple of days I have been getting the rings after the tab has been in my bag all day. I can usually convinced them to go away but they were much larger today and it took longer.

Not particularly worried about it, I will get it fixed if it gets irreversible.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
I got them only once. I left my tab in the car while I went into a museum on a very hot Southern California day and when I came out.... Yowza! Once the air con kicked on and the temperature cooled down, all was well. I've never had them any other time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wlighter:
heat or/and pressure always cause NR for mine. So i avoid putting any pressure on the screen by limiting how long i put it in a bag and anytime if possible put the tab facing up...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rlarsen462:
Probably the right call...unfortunately my bag is always pretty full I may have to find an arrangement that doesn't put constant pressure on the screen through the case.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jms_209:
wow i was all set to get this and now i here this?

i won't get this until end of October, so i hope it's sorted out or a bad batch :)

btw: had a Samsung P3(mp3 player) and after a year a use the screen would crap out,right when the warranty was over lol

maybe it's a isolated incident though but it got me thinking
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kitts:
I have the same issue for the THIRD replacement. Now I am out of my 30 day period, so only way is to contact Samsung and wait for 20 days for them to fix it.

It goes away if I put it in the freezer, but come back in couple of hours.

The tablet is supposed to be a MOBILE device. It should be capable of withstanding the normal heat and humidity.

If Samsung is not acknowledging the issue, lets make a case. I can help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gtabby:
how can we? i called up samsung and they kept on saying that is unknown to them, which i don't believe because there are tons of GT 10.1 that has been returned due to this problem. What happens when the warranty runs out, samsung only supports 1 year hardware fix/replacement,does this mean i have to live with this problem after a year.. seems to be a waste for a good tablet..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tbcpn:
Yeah, I'm on my second unit (VZW LTE). Verizon replaced the first unit after 10 days. The second developed NR after about 10 days, altho not currently not as bad as the first Tab. I'm outside the 14 day auto exchange/refund, but have a year with VZW to get a replacement--either refurb or new. Think I'll wait a bit to let this issue hopefully pass thru the system before requesting another replacement unit.

My admittedly limited experience with two samples suggests that this is indeed "an issue."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burhanistan:
I have a suspicion that many of the units with newton rings are being certified for refurb use after a tech gives them the once-over in a nice airconditioned facility after the rings have already disappeared.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tbcpn:
Precisely. I can carry my Thunderbolt, or formerly my Droid X, or Incredible in my pants pocket all day without any screen issues. Or any other issues.

I expect that I can carry my Tab in Samsung's leather slip in my computer bag without there being a problem. It doesn't bother my Xoom :rolleyes: (which is thicker and has a backside that is primarily metallic) .
