I think you may have to report him to the police as he carrying out insurance fraud. Basically that's what he has done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
I agree, but it would be your word against his, unless you have some type of paperwork, like a receipt.....

If you don't have a receipt, then the only leverage you have is the guys phone number, so phone records should show that you guys were in contact.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaconTrousers:
Scumtree is full of scammers, and although I bought mine of there I made sure it I bought one that was sim free or PayNgo. Luckily an old mate advertised his that was bought on O2 PaynGo for £450, and although he advertised it at £350 I managed to bag it for £280 :)

Scumtree is owned by Ebay BTW.

Hi all, as the topic title

im just upgrade from official froyo v10g 2.2.2 to official gingerbread v20d 2.3.3 via kdz

and just now after i finish upgrade to v20d, i turn on phone as normal

stuck at LG logo

and i decided to take out battery and wait for awhile and put the battery back and turn on

also same result, stuck at LG logo

so, i make a factory reset via 3combo > home + volume down + power

after finish factory reset, the phone will auto restart phone

but it still stuck at LG logo

*last time when i upgrade to gingerbread, then once i apply go launcher ex theme

and hang, force to turn off

then once turn on as above method, take out battery and wait awhile also stuck

so is it means my phone problem ?? because froyo no problem at all

or should i flash back to froyo, then flash recovery

and format everything and flash back gingerbread

need you all help because this is serious problem due to can't use official gingerbread ROM T_T
[Optimus One, P500, V General] royal.tarun:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] IamIrene:
okay thanks will report back result :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
Any results? Do you have custom recovery? If yes, if the phone dosent boot up, start the phone in recovery (Vol Down+Home+Power, relase them at lg screen), wipe everything, format with 0 swap, enable usb ms, copy a custom ROM (i reccomend openoptimus) on the sd, disable usb ms, and flash the zip. That should do it.

Hi

Omnia 7 received this morning.

Its on 7.10.7712.60 which from what I've seen here is Mango beta.

I want it to be a generic stock Omnia 7 with no beta software. Is it as simple as flashing a ROM? I dont need to restore any personal data or anything like that?

Thanks, a bit rusty on the WP7 front as not flashed an Omnia since back in February!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlm2588:
hi all, im an owner of a sam.charge. I use the app called "System" and it lists about a dozen apps that are stored in my cache or that are using memory when I have not innitiaited the service or app...

I'm most familiar with computers so I'll relate it to that; is there some type of command line that I can use to stop some of these apps from auto start and being stored. For instance on windows you can 'msconfig' what programs are allowed to start on boot up.

Here is a list of apps that I want to stop: AccuWeather.com, Android Booster, Google Voice, HeyTell, Amazon's Appstore, Market, Music, etc.

Most are cached/ inactive but none the less in my task manager when freeing up memory when I notice things to be lagging I'd imagine these to be guilty. Android Booster always lists these as killed apps as well when optimizing...

Im familiar somewhat with how android works being that it often fills a large portion of your memory with what it wants to and frees space as it is needed but these apps for me are rarely used...

Im big on battery life being Im in and out of Sales accounts and rely on my phone heavily so I dont want these things running in the background sucking up resources. Not to mention I like a snappy phone...

If anyone could educate me on this topic Id really appreciate it... I may be mistaken on a few things so call me out on it, since im sure I am... Also, I know their are app freezers and applications you can program to kill apps at a set interval but again I would like the least amount of garbage running as I can
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yagya:
Some of the basic services are must to be initiated/running all the time such as launcher, keyboard, google voice, market, etc.. so as to run your phone smoothly . This is the default setting of android os. And anyway why do you want to close/stop the services case restarting services uses more battery than kepping them running on the memory ....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otnos:
If you find apps that you don't use, you can use a program to freeze them. Just search for freeze in the market. I personally use a free app called System Tuner. Freezing prevent them from starting up and therefore you cannot use them, but later on you can un-freeze them if you need to.

Optimize toolbox

I use this one, had a bunch of other features.https://market.android.com/details?id=cn.opda.a.phonoalbumshoushou&feature=search_result
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlm2588:
Thanks all for the feedback...

To reply to the first response; I have read that about battery life. That, the more you kill apps and reopen them that it takes longer for the app to start up and thus sucking up battery life... I probably should not have mentioned battery life in my post being that I have a car charger and that it contradicts what im trying to accomplish (going over my post, it was stupid of me given what you just mentioned). Also, I'm not so much concerned with market apps or google voice as I am about the apps I installed myself. Those ones are the ones that bother me.

To the other posts thanks for the recommendations I will like into those options. I'm just trying to prevent extra apps from running in the background so freezing them is a last resort.

I'm looking for something that I can type in terminal possibly on program into the OS or app itself to keep it from auto starting... possibly a command line?!

Any developers input? Can this even be done. I'm still very much a beginner but its not beyond my comprehension to do something like this... I know its different but I play around with linux, web design, c++ stuff so if you post directions I can follow smoothly our atleast figure it out if you point me in the right direction
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr67:
It's not exactly what your asking for but have you tried Gemini App Manager:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.seasmind.android.gmappmgr

You can use it to disable/re-enable an app's autorun settings. When you first open it it will list all user apps currently in memory. Clicking menu then expert mode will give you a list of all apps. Long press an app then click configure autorun.

Just be careful with changing the autorun settings of system apps like market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noybman:
"preventing apps from autostarting"

I like this topic a lot!

I think the question(s) and "assumptions" the OP holds are all valid. So I'd really like to hear the answer to the actual question, not a spew of why the question isn't valid.

How do you stop apps from starting up on their own? (like microsofts msconfig)

Pretty simple question and I cannot find the answer! I've been in software for many year and I'm rather stunned by the responses people are giving - which basically say "who cares, android O/S handles it for you".

Well, lets face it:

*If* the user didn't call for the app, and had no desire to use it, then the "system" loading it even ONCE, is one too many.

*If* the app is a DESIRED app, (OR device required), *BUT* uses data - then if the user didn't want to use it; "yet" - then thats DATA & BATTERY life --> **WASTED**

If the user suspects the APP is misbehaving; one sure fire way would be to SEE it running, when they didn't ask it to!

If you are pure paranoid, or simply want extreme app control....

The kinds of answers people are giving is truly along the the lines of "we dont know, but you're silly for caring"

SOYLENT GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

When i am using my Adam, i never turn it off, and sometimes i have found my adam without battery the next morning because i forgot to power it off at night.

Do you know if there is an app that allow to power off the Adam after an idle time (like 2 hours or something)?

Because i have the app that shutdown the adam, i only need an app that can be programmed to do something after X minutes on idle.

Thanks!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] astuermer:
I wondered if anybody tried "VTL Launcher" on a Viewpad 7 so far?

Mine is in for repair currently and Android Market shows it as "Non compatible" (which doesn't mean it's really not compatible *gg*)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] armando101:
yes i am searching for that too
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
TY, astuermer - nice find & catching it to share with all, downloaded it from your link, prep my VPAD7 first (TB backup & CWM backup, just in case) - reboot and used Astro File Manager to install the apk file. Turn off (using "Easy Boot" - it's a neat, cute one click to shut down, reboot, boot into recovery) and restart, bing bing - VTL came up as option, no error messages or warnings about imcompatibility at all. It's very similar to ADW 1.3.6 standalone (that I'm using instead of stock laucher) but with more features, options & tweaks - like it very much ! Not a fan of Launcher Pro, so .... this is cool.

This cute Vpad7 with the tweaks is going to stand out a tiny notch more, great. :D

[Motorola Droid Bionic] fauxreal:
So I am already on my second Bionic after the first one stopped working (completely stock btw.) Just picked up the second one yesterday and have not been able to connect to 3G at all for the last 3 hours. I have done 5 battery pulls, toggled airplane mode more times than I can count, switched between CDMA only and LTE a handful of times and not even once has the 3g symbol appeared at the top. Just the phone signal and when I reboot it a triangle for a few second where the 3g symbol is supposed to be. Any ideas? If nothing else I am bringing this one back after work too and reverting to the D1 until something else comes out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lsdozer:
This appears to be a common problem with the Bionic. I am suffering from the same thing and getting ready to take mine back also, but I dont think it will fix anything.

Some on the forum have tried a fix outlined earlier on the forum that involves pulling your battery and SD card, then sliding your SIM card in and out repeatedly, which theoretically creates a better connection between the SIM card and phone. I have tried this and it did not work for me, but others have had success.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] FLNole:
Verizon should extend the 14-day return period until after the supposed October/November patch is released.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lsdozer:
Took my Bionic onto the local Verizon store, and the tech guy wanted to try a new SIM card and see if that worked, because I still have a week left of the 14 day period. I was willing to try it, because I have nothing else to loose.

So far, I haven't had any drops, but it has been only 4 hours. however, I would have experienced several by now, so hopefully it was fixed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dbindock:
I find this odd because only the 4G is controlled by the SIM card, and you said you were having 3G issues?

In any case, my 3G drops sometimes, but a quick airplane mode ON, airplane mode OFF always works. I might take it in and say you had this help your case though, and see about getting mine looked at.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lsdozer:
Well, the problem isn't fixed. It started shortly after I posted about the SIM card. This is getting frustrating.

I guess the next step is a new phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BrianMigs:
I'm having the same issue along with horrible data speeds for both 4G and 3G. My down speed for 3G is sometimes as low as 50kbps, and my down speed for 4G is 1.5mbps. That is also with apparently "full" signal strength.

The 14 day return/exchange policy is thursday for me so I'm thinking about going in and having them exchange it. I'll probably also point out the headphone issue since everyone seems to be having that one. There shouldn't be a problem right?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] soul777toast:
Just got my Incipio Feather in, totally love it! Thanks for the suggestion! It's enough coverage to protect from scratches or dings in my pocket or a light drop (it does cover the corners), but it barely adds any bulk or thickness to the phone which is what I hate about bigger cases. Also, it is slim enough to fit perfectly in the dock and car mount with the insert removed (charges and goes into dock mode with no problems too), which I've been looking for since I got the phone! Has a really nice feel to it too. All in all, a great case! The only thing I'm not happy with is the screen protector that comes with it, it's really not all that good. Picks up fingerprints like nobody's business and, while they made it big enough to cover the entire screen, it won't bend to the curves of the screen so it overhangs around the edges which really doesn't look good. Oh well, guess you can't get EVERYTHING all in one package >_< I'll probably end up going with an invisible shield or something to really make this thing perfect!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jessie02:
So with the case it fits in the Motorola car and home dock? No need to remove the case? Thats great if it does!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] soul777toast:
Yup! And yes, it IS pretty great! ;P I realized that the dock and car mount would support a case about 30 seconds after taking them out of the package when I saw that they had removable inserts, and I gotta say I was pretty darn thrilled that they had FINALLY gotten the hint that people want to be able to dock their phone AND have a case on it, and that it's a pain in the a** to keep taking off and putting on your case every time you get in the car or sit down at your desk. I was still in the parking lot at BJ's at the time, so I immediately went back in to get a case (which I hadn't gotten initially because I knew I wanted to dock the phone) and to inform the saleswoman that motorola had finally smartened up.

As soon as I got back out to my car however, I quickly realized that while motorola may have had their heart in the right place, their heads were still up that hole where the sun don't shine >_< The case I picked up was the ONLY hard case that was released with the phone that made any sense, the 2 piece Incipio, as I was definitely not gonna go with the shell/holster (why would I want the bulk of the extended battery when I don't even have it?) and the otterbox, while great for serious protection, was the size of a friggen brick and WAY more than I need. I did like the Incipio, but when I went to put my nice new phone in its nice new case into my nice new "case-friendly" car dock, it totally wouldn't fit! It would have taken some serious wedging and pushing to get it down in there even with the insert taken out, and the last thing I wanted to do with my brand new bionic was to wedge and shove it! I promptly returned the case and have been waiting for a hard case that would fit ever since, which I now have thanks to the Feather!

So, I guess the point of my rant is that yes, you can dock the phone with this case on which TOTALLY rocks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chay03:
I also just received my Incipio Feather case. It looks good and feels good. Keeps the phone looking thin. Protects the corners.

I didn't know it was coming with a free screen protector. It does overhang a little like the previous poster said, but hey, it was a bonus for me. You can't tell its there unless you look close enough at the edges. Im sure it won't last more than a month or two but at least there is no orange peel effect like Zagg.
