[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo4gLI:
OK, I've seen a few threads similar to this question, but no definitive answers anywhere. I'm currently running SnS Sense ROM 1.5, and I've been looking for a launcher that's a bit different than the stock one, mainly because I like the dock that's across the bottom, similar to what I had with MIUI. After trying out ADW, LauncherPro and GO Launcher EX, I've decided on GO. It just fits what I need best, and the calendar application (which is actually very important to me for work) is second to none, even standalone widgets on the market. Now, I want to uninstall the stock launcher, mainly because it takes up almost 7 MB of space on a system where I really only have about 45 MB of free space (with it installed). If I uninstall it, will I not be able to reinstall b/c it's a system app if I decide to go back to it, like what happens if you uninstall Facebook for Sense? Also, can I uninstall HTC Sense as well, or should I not uninstall either of them? I could really use the space though. Would freezing it via Titanium give me that space back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
Really if you are going to delete the launcher altogether (which I don't know much about) if you don't use much of sense, get an AOSP ROM. You would be able to afford to have an additional launcher on top of stock with plenty of room.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo4gLI:
Nah, I had MIUI for about 3 months before going back to Sense....it's not Sense I dislike, it's really just the stock launcher. I like the integration of everything that Sense has, especially Facebook for Sense. I really kinda wanna just delete the launcher. I think what I'm going to do is set up GO launcher the way I want, so I have both Sense with stock launcher and GO launcher both running the way I want, then I'll make a Nandroid of that. Once I have that, I can reboot, delete the launcher and see what happens without fear of really screwing things up. I still would like an answer to my questions though, if anyone can help out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madzzco:
Hi! I was using my HTC desire Z as a disk drive when I accidentally put .jpeg files in the wrong folder. After that, most of my downloaded apps wont open and the folders in my gallery got messed up. I tried fixing it on my computer but now, all the folders became .exe files. Is there any way to fix this? Please help. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decmk:
Your pc have virus. And now your sd card in phone have it.

Every folder on sd card have hiden attribute and appropriate exe file.

If you have card reader on your pc try to clean with av.

Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU Rooted S-Off with Link2SD partition 512MB
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Clean the virus lurking in the card and your pc, before reverting the hidden attribute of the folders.

To reveal the folders, open command prompt, mount it into your card directory and type "attrib -s -h /s /d"
[Motorola Photon 4G] asuh:
Anyone else experience this like I am? Anytime I open Dolphin browser it spends a couple of seconds trying to load the last session and then completely quits and loses the session. When I reopen the session, it's back to the default page.

Is this an Android or Photon problem?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Just a question to the Deveopers/Modders..

Will you be able to Port the Camera application from HTC Amaze to Senstion?...

IMO Hardware wise it seems pretty same and maybe the difference in Camera application makes HTC Amaze camera better than the Sensation...
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
it will be nice to see it on my sensation
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
The cameras are actually very different. The main difference being that the amaze's lens has backside illumination for clearer low light pics as well as a few other differences. In short the sensations camera quality is not on par, though it is still pretty good for a smart phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nat45928:
I think i finally thought of a way to do this. On mango you cant have the ringer on and have only a vibration for something, theres always a ring. If you make a blank sound file and use it as a custom ring tone when the phone is on ring+vibrate then it will only vibrate for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
I just got less than 4 hours of battery life. Is this normal even under intensive use?

For the first 1/4 of the time, I had the phone in my pocket. For the second 1/4, I was playing Symphony of Eternity, a simple 2D RPG that looks like an SNES game, and a bit of Greedy Spiders, another simple 2D game. By the time I was done (a little past half way through the graph) I was already at half charge.

I then disabled wifi and turned off my phone and put it back in my pocket. The battery use decreased, but only by a little. At the end of the graph, I got alarmed by how fast the battery was draining and rebooted my phone, and when I restarted, there was the abrupt jump down in battery.

Anything jump out as a red flag here? I took a look at the Android OS bug thread, and it sounds like that is what I ran into, but does this seem like short battery life even for the Android OS bug and the amount I used it?
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
If a connect it to the PC, i cannot see the system folder. (is there any trick I am not aware of?)

If i use a folder manager, i cannot put a ringtone in the system/media folder...its probably protected or so.

does it HAVE to be rooted or so?

thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Root is required to make changes to /system
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
If you wanna put a ringtone in /system/media use root explorer. That's the easiest way for you, if you're advanced and wanna get familiar with adb, adb push it :D
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
THANK YOU.

I assumed that :)

but is the ROOT safe at this time? i have red a lot of issues after ROOTing...
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Uhh... root is kinda never safe? Haha. Idk what you mean by that
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
getting root itself normally isnt a big issue.. normally people run in to more trouble when they have attempted flashes that go awry.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
I used to flash my HTC Touch Pro 2 with a CUSTOM Rom almost every month... :) for more than 1 year..and no issues there...

but the number of topics with problems after booting the D3...made me think again when modding this phone...
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
With just a root, you should be ok. I feel that just rooting does very little, and as said before, the issues only arise when we try to take advantage of what root enables us to do...freezing, modding, flashing, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
i just want to put a custom ringtone (mp3 file) :) in the ringtones folders.

the ringtones from this phone..are really stupid.

any ideas which does not include root?
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Well I use the MIUI music app and when it asks me to choose a ringtone I just chooose it through that
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Use Ringdroid, it's free in market. Ringdroid allows you to crop and edit audio files, turn them in to ringtones and set them as default.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
worked perfectly with ringdroid :)

if i unistall the application, the ringtone will remain?
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
use root explorer. Thats how i get to it.
[Motorola Droid 3] _LTB_:
:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
nope. if i try to move with root explorer a file in system folder, it says i can not do that. probably because the phone is not rooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] _LTB_:
Exactly. Do not be afraid to root it, you can unroot it whenever you like.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Root explorer isn't nedded anymore. ES file explorer can browse as root, and it's free.

[Windows Phone 7 General] masfenix:
Hey guys,

I am so jealous that everyone has Mango and I dont. And upon further research, it seems like I havn't gotten any updates!

I have a LG Optimus 7 (e900 i believe). I am in Canada on Telus network. I do have a valid developer account on the marketplace and my phone is unlocked through the official tool.

I didn't force nodo (and now i dont even believe I have nodo since everyone had a higher OS version even before updating to mango).

I havnt installed anything other then apps from marketplace and no mods either.

My info

OS version: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware revision number: 1.0.5.10

Hardware revision number: 1.0.0.0

radio software version: 1.0.5.10

radio hardware version: 0.3.5.0

bootloader version: 1.5.1.0

Chip SOC version: 0.30.2.0

I tried reinstalling zune but the installer said I already have the latest version (4.8).

Should I just be patient? I dont want to do the whole force the update thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
You have NoDo. In fact, you have NoDo plus the security update that was release a couple of months after NoDo. NoDO was 7390. The security update was 7392.

So, unless you want to try the disconnect trick, you should just be patient. You'll get your update notice within the next 2-3 weeks at the most.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cxkx:
I forced the update on O2 UK TouchHD7 by following these instructions

FOR THOSE THAT IT WONT WORK FOR READ THIS!

click check for update like normal but have your phone in hand and ready to set to airplane mode at the time where you would normally dc your computers internet.

I did not have to dc my computers internet, just the phones and it worked perfectly for me.

In my case I had to switch to airplane mode at ~34 seconds.

It helps if you time it the first time and see how long it takes to tell you your

phone is up to date and then subtract about a second. GL hope this helps

Just force the update

[Windows Phone 7 General] masfenix:
Still no update, should I force it now or give it more time? I read somewhere that forcing may not update my drivers and I want everything to be udpated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I recommend against it. The update you'll get may well not be the specific update meant for your phone. There can be various issues with the wrong update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'd force it. Microsoft themselves has referred to it as cutting in line. I believe I've also heard the guys on the Windows Phone Radio podcast (which is official) mention that they told their friends to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] livejazz:
same for my new HD7s

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] David1239:
What are the settings for a stable OC to 1.1 ghz, 1.2 ghz, and 1.3 ghz?
[HTC Desire S] parapaul:
Morning all :D

I'm one of the unfortunates affected by the problem with 2.3.3 version 1.47. When the phone is connected to a 3G or HSDPA network, all the 2G functions stop working. Well documented, well known, and no sign of a fix until this week when it looks like 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0 are being released.

My DS has been stock until this last week, and I've been running it with mobile data turned off just to make sure that calls and SMS work - which isn't too smart for a smartphone :(

Since the problem is definitely with 1.47, I was hoping a new ROM would solve the issues. I was recommended CyanogenMod, and thought I'd give it a go. So, I got used Revolutionary, got S-OFF and installed CWM Recovery. Went off to the CyanogenMod website and realised they dont have any stable builds for the Desire S at the moment :(

So, having had a look around here, and realised there are equally good alternatives, I think I'm going to try Virtuous instead. That's all fine, and I'm quite looking forward to it.

Will it fix the problems though? Anyone?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I don't suffer from this problem. But I can seriously recommend virtuous. It just works perfectly and when I was using it I had no bugs whatsoever

Also I would recommend cyanogen if your not a big fan of sense

[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
Worked perfect for me. I was on stock rom 2.3.6 GRK39C.

Thanks!
[Nexus S General] blowtorch:
No problem! I went from 2.3.3 and it worked like a charm and it seems like they worked all the bugs out of it this time.
[Nexus S General] YourMainDude:
Im on 2.3.4 (AT&T) right before the search bug update was sent out.. will this mess up my cellular data?
[Nexus S General] YourMainDude:
=\ its says error page... ahhh if this update is the one that doesn't mess up the cellular towers can u email me? Please!
[Nexus S General] blowtorch:
This is the fixed 2.3.6 GRK39F (GRK39C had the problems) if you are on AT&T then you have a i9020a and this is the update you are looking for and it won't mess up your data.

It seems like all links are down from google right now I don't have an answer for that. Just keep trying they're likely doing some server maintenamce.
[Nexus S General] blowtorch:
Actually I was wrong it seems like there is something wrong with how xda handles external links.

Ahhhh your the shyt! On downloading right now =] thanks man
[Nexus S General] YourMainDude:
=\ it failed.. unless I have to be on a certain radio for 2.3.4 ... but that shouldn't be a problem since the signed update u sent me brings a Radio. I have an OTA for 2.3.6 and its 17 MB .... but I'm scared to install since it could kill cellular connectivity like it has before... think I'm just gonna update and see if it works.. it downloaded on its own... T_T
[Nexus S General] iboj007:
I wonder this as well. I flashed the KB3 radio and everytime I get the latest 2.3.6 (17.5mb update) it fails to install.

Anyone know if the flashed radio is what is preventing us from installing the OTA?

I keep getting the error "signature verification failed"
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
yes.

[Nexus S General] mrdead72:
how can i fix this failed problem mine does the same thing i get failed attemp also have also reflash with the another ota 2.3.6 for the 9020t and it works fine but i cant do this ota update i have the kf1 band on it now and i still get the attempt fail ??
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
Start by posting the entire message. It will usually indicate what part of the phone is no longer stock.

Alternatively, you can grab the full rom image, it should install regardless.
[Nexus S General] mrdead72:
ok it says E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

does this everytime now i have reflash it back to normal and still repeats this
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
This usually means that 1, you have stock recover (not CWM) and 2, your are trying to install an unofficial update.

Grab the full ROM link listed in the first post (appropriate to your model) and try that.
[Nexus S General] d-h:
Works great, used the update to flash the new radio.
[Nexus S General] iboj007:
This exact message for me.

I think we need kd1 radio
[Nexus S General] chamarthi:
full rom or update?

the post says it's a full rom GRK39F

Does it work when I come from another ROM

and if I follow the regular steps right?

1. Backup

2. wipe data/factory reset

3. wipe cache

4. install from zip

Appreciate your response
[Motorola Droid 3] SS2006:
I realized today my brothers Photon battery fits in my Droid 3

the photon battery s 1700MAH opposed to the Droid 3's 1500 maH

it powers up just fine.

Is this safe, and itll probably give better lifetime right?

what else should i look at to make sure nothing is being lost, voltage?

Has anyone tried / can try the atrix 1900 battery in the droid 3 to see if it fits
[Motorola Droid 3] SS2006:
gsmarena lists the droid 3 as 'Lithium Ion'

and the photon as: 'Li-Po'

what gives?
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
It is not soo much a matter as if it fits but a matter if the volts and amps are all the same also the connections on the battery
[Motorola Droid 3] ourtut:
Ion/Polimer that's all I know about the two
[Motorola Droid 3] SS2006:
connections clearly are the same since it fits and phone booted and is working 100%
[Motorola Droid 3] bgdwiepp:
So long as the battery puts out between 3.5 and 4.2v and the connector has the same pinout it will work just fine, the battery has a little controller in it to manage its charge levels and what not.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
I can also confirm that the Defy's battery also fits into the Droid3. So if any of you have a friend who has a Defy steal their battery ;). JK don't do that.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
So.... I was stuck at the M logo after trying to update to a newer version of MIUI. I successfully SBF'd back to stock froyo and my phone won't activate. When the activation call tells me to press "1", it simply goes silent.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
Now I somehow bypassed the activation screen, I don't think that was a good idea because it forced me to connect via wifi. I just said "screw it anyway" and went ahain to reroot. Then I installed CM7 (since I current don't have the MIUI zip I was previously running on my phone). Now I am stuck at the CM7 logo. Not sure if I should SBF again or what I should do. I'm kinda freaked.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
Also, I have never had a problem SBFing before. This seems more serious than before.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
Update: Wiping data allowed me to boot up in CM7. Still cannot activate my phone. Whenever it prompts me to press "1", all I get is complete silence.

I'm currently at UT Dallas, so I don't think location is a problem is it? Actually it shouldn't be because I bricked my phone here before. Had to reactivate it and it worked great.

Man, this is the first time my phone won't activate.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
Yes I know I am posting a lot, but since no one is here to help currently I'm trying things out on my own.

I tried restoring a nandroid I had of CM7 previously. Man I thought this was always a failsafe....

Just thinking of things I did since the last time I activated my phone. I updated something (radio version, I don't really know much about it), it was supposed to make my 3G faster or whatever. But I mean I've SBF'd, factory reset and everything, so that shouldn't be an issue?

Gosh dang, I just want my phone back the way it was 2 hours ago.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
One of the reasons nandroid might not be working is that I might have a different version of clockwork on my phone. I remember before having a version where the test was blue, but I forgot the version number. Now the one I get with rom manager is green (like the one I had before I got the blue one).

Man I am sooo confused here. I am completely at a loss. I am out of ideas. I need help.
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
So I realized I did not have the second init version of clockwork. I just flashed that, and I'm waiting to see if I will get any errors. If I get this to work I am going to flash the version of MIUI I had and try to restore my more recent nandroid (since Ive gotten MIUI).
[Droid X General] aquaurchin99:
Yup problem solved. Not sure what was causing the problem, but at least its solved. I'm gonna be extra careful next time I flash something.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizeguy78:
I am unable reboot my phone. THe ROM keeps trying to reload and wont let me do anything. Any help is appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osolot:
sounds like bootlooping.. read in the thread for rom you were trying to load and see if anyone else had similar problems. First time this happened to me I kinda had panic attack. Learned to use odin, got a jig (search for those.. for bout 10 bucks sure saves the day) and start over.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
*sigh*

Anyway, give us some more information and we can probably help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
I tried to call the Tmobile 611. Beside the fact that they have designed to keep all but determined customers from speaking to a human, this new Slide has "Caller Assist" I have never heard of this until I dialed 611 and got an app that seems like it is a phone call and talks you through connecting to the web site.

There is a button that can bypass that, but I don't want that "feature:mad:":mad:

I have tried to use the bloatware remover in Titanium but the system locks up. I have to remove the battery to get back and the bloatware is still there.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Use root explorer.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
What do I explore in Root Explorer?

I used Root Explorer and looked up CALL and ASSIST.

I am not expert but can follow directions.

What file, folder or whatever do I look for? Do I just delete it or do I do something through terminal emulator or adb?

I saw some information about this a little while ago...heck, although it also warned of overheating or somesuch.

Do you happen to have a stock bootanimation too? Somehow I lost mine, it turned into a flashing Android logo (when there isn't a bootanimation.zip already in the data directory).

Overheating because of changeling the splash image? Hmm

[Motorola Triumph] b_randon14:
Yeah i've got a copy of the stock bootanimation. I can make a zip for ya tonight and send it. I may post it on this thread!
[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:

In the meantime I'll see if I can figure out where it went in a stock Nandroid backup... if I can figure out how to extract that darn thing.
[Motorola Triumph] b_randon14:
The nandroids don't touch the hidden/data partition which is where its at. Download my stock rom and its in the hiddendata folder under powering animation!
