As I don't have a Hulu Plus subscription anymore I can't check but it may be similar to other apps like Google Video and Blockbuster where it detects if you're rooted. An app you can try is "Temp Root Remover" it'll rename SU to MU so other apps can't detect it and when you're done watching you can use it to rename MU back to SU.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iEatRappers:
Ok so with mango if you HOLD the back button you will see a bunch of different tabs and stuff that are open.Is there any way to close them?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valaris:
Instead of using the windows button to quit an app, just hit the back button until the menu. Mash on the back button while you're on main menu to exit out of all of them.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klikerko:
That's what I was wondering too. I was trying to swipe apps up and down to have them closed. Instead looks like clicking on the back button is only solution and it's very inconvenient since might require more than one click to leave the app. I don't know if this is licencing issue but Microsoft should do something about this, like adding small x or something at least.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfvtn:
Yeah it seems the only way to close them is by hitting the back button. I would also very much like a small "x" to close programs, or swipe them away or something. It'd feel a lot better (especially when programs such as games have the little "Resuming.." thing, I find that annoying when trying to close).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chabun:
Hmm as long as you see the "Resuming..." you don't have to worry about battery, RAM or cpu consumption. Just leave it "open" cuz it's actually not running it's tombstoned (that's why resumin is necessary and a lot of games need to load their stuff again).

But with the mango multitasking I'd love to see it, too.

Let's vote for it:D:

http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...8-close-apps-running-in-background-?ref=title
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Mango doesn't really have multitasking. Unless you have Jaxbot's no-dehydration hack enabled (which works on NoDo as well; it has nothing to do with Mango), even a Mango app is using no active resources (CPU, sensors, etc.) while in the background. It does hold onto RAM, but if the OS needs more RAM for the foreground processes, it will just tombstone the backgrounded apps, freeing their RAM.

Let's say that again, for clarity:

If an app isn't in the foreground on WP7, Mango or otherwise, it is using no performance resources and consuming no battery.

OK, now that I've gotten that out of the way... I agree that it's occasionally annoying to fully back out of an app. For example, backing out of Puzzle Quest requires a lot of steps before you get to the "are you sure you want to exit?" screen. Pre-Mango apps that don't resume isntantly are also annoying to "back" into.

So... I agree with your rquest, but NOT for the reasons implied by @chabun. Just wanted to clear that up...

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Oh, as for closing browser tabs: open the web browser (in any way, including backing into it), and then expand the App Bar menu and select the Tabs option. I'm extremely annoyed that MS made Tabs so much harder to get to in Mango, but it's still there and you can still close them directly.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphasaic2002:
I'd like to close tabs in the multitask switcher simply because it only allows the last 5 apps to be resumed, and I often hit the limit. I don't want to waste slots with tabs that I don't need, e.g. settings.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Just hit Back instead of Start for things like settings. For that specific case, it's probably faster than opening the task switcher and hitting an X. It would be nice to have another method, I agree, but it is already possible to close apps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
So i have buy a new Xperia mini (sk17a) and install first ndrive to see how the GPS works... but it never catch a GPS signal (i have already a X10 mini and it was very fast), i already download a apps in the market for the GPS and it only shows 1 satellite as visible for the GPS and most of the time dont found anything... anyone with this problem? :confused: :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] berz:
haveu enabled GPS in settings ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
Yes, already enabled, other way ndrive or other apps say "enable GPS"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dlmc85:
Me too on a sk17i (as signed) it could take up to five minutes to catch the signal but sometimes in the open, it's immediate. I think it's the GPS sensor which is not the best...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] berz:
use fasterfix , if ur phone's rooted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
No rooted phone :-/ and no nearby plans to do it, another solution?

I have already tested the GPS with the ndrive and it works, but works really slow and with very bad accuracy :-S hope a software update fix this
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CarlitosMendezR:
dude plz where can i find fasterfix, have no access to the market through the phone, thanks in advance

jacker60,

try to install GPS Status from Market. Launch it before using any navigation app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
in fact this saturday started to install GPS apps from the market, and GPS status was one of them, after that it works better... but still slow and with poor accuracy, miss the GPS of my x10 mini, was very fast and with good accuracy :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] toddkp:
Hello.

GPS problems on my sk17a too.

I use google navigation daily. I've had several Android devices, with varying degrees of success with GPS. Using navigation on the mini pro, I found at times the GPS sluggish to update my position and speed, hence my further investigations.

Using GPS test from market, I've observed the following:

Overall GPS signal strength is up to 10 DB below average signal strength on several simultaneous Android test devices, including nexus s, all set in airplane mode. GSM and wifi off, to prevent interference.

Then if you extend the physical keyboard on the mini, signals drop even more, dropping some sats along the way.

Poor GPS operation in my opinion as a subject matter expert in mobile communications and GPS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
Agree totally with you, have testes already the GPS in the week and all i can say its that in effect the mini pro had a very bad reception with the GPS :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
No problems on the Sk17i here. Then again i only use it to post facebook statuses :P
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] glukasil:
xperia active - very fast gps...........use GPS STATUS software to reset and download agps data.........will help for sure.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
Already do it, and it help a little bit... but still slow and bad accuracy :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdean1981:
I have had my Nexus for just under a month. I came from the EVO. Today I get up and notice this about 1/4 inch long scratch going horizontal on the screen. It isn't too deep although you can feel it if you take your fingernail (Just clipped mine) across it. Normal finger touches you can't feel it.

I called Sprint and asked them if they could replace the screen under my TEP because well I must highly depend on my phone for personal reasons and didn't wanna take the chance of the screen breaking. Sprint told me that they are no longer doing Nexus S screen replacements because they have tried on several and they are having problems getting the phone to go back correctly. They told me they would replace it no problem at all for of course the $100 insurance charge. He also said they may be able to buff it out.

The more I look at it the more I don't believe it is gonna shatter. I looked on Google a couple ways to remove scratches and they involved eggs and toothpaste. Well the egg thing come on it's an egg. I tried the toothpaste method as toothpaste is slightly abrasive and it lightened it but didn't work.

The scratch is an eye sore and I was wondering what other Nexus owners experiences have been or if anyone knows any scratch removals that aren't ridiculous like using eggs.

Also has anyone ever had Sprint buff there phone screen? I'm ok with it if it works and doesn't leave my phone looking like crap. If it does then they aren't touching it or replacing it if they make it look like crap. I'm not anal about my phone in severity as some others are but I don't need this $600 device looking like a beat up toy.

P.S. I don't need post that all they say is "should of bought a screen protector" or "buy a screen protector". If you are just gonna be sarcastic then move on. Anyone else feel free to discuss.

[Nook Color General] alunral:
I've started recently having a very irritating issue whenever my Nook Color ends up dying. I plug it in after it dies once, and then even an hour later, I cannot turn it on. It just gives the dead battery screen. Why does it take so long for this thing to get a charge after dying? An hour or more later is just ridiculous. Is there a way to fix this?

I am so sorry I put this in the wrong area, thought I was still in the Q&A section. If a mod could move it...
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I don't know about the not turning on part but the Nook takes well over 3-4 to charge up when you run it all the way down, even in stock mode.
[Nook Color General] jonrobertd:
Weird, 2 questions

Are you using the stock wall charger or a computer?

Is the 15 minute screen showing up?
[Nook Color General] alunral:
Using both, it takes forever. As for the 15 minute screen, I have no idea what that is. I managed to get it to turn on after about another hour of wallcharging.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Are you using the nook cable or a standard uUSB cable?
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
By 15 minute screen, I think the responder was referring to the 15% warning that normally happens when your battery gets that low.

Also if you do not use your original nook cable, it charges very slowly no matter which charger you use. It a has special connector on the end that lets the nook charge fast with the original charger.
[Nook Color General] jonrobertd:
I was reffering to the warning screen when you try to boot it up on a dead battery right after plugging it in. There is normally a screen with a red empty battery and it is asking you to wait 15 minutes before trying to boot. Although I have no idea what could be causing this other than something may be defective.

How have they helped you?

What are your opinions?!?!

[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Ehh, what news?

And have been waiting for 1.3 for months now. They may as well just hold out for official release of Gingerbread and convert their work done-to-date to that new build.
[Epic 4G General] rojasj:
Sure we have been waiting a while, but it will be worth it, and who knows how long we may wait for GB, ya know? Plus personally I think EC05 is the most stable build to work with and the newest so that's probably why. Although it would be great if we could see SFR for Gingerbread... whenever that happens, not counting on it though, I'm just happy with SRF 1.2 right now waiting for 1.3 lol.

I just wonder who's gonna post the srf 1.3 thread, I would say mysteryemotionz but he hasn't been around since late august. My guesses are that chris41g is gonna take it over.

Waiting for this is like our gb. When it comes it comes. Till then, just wait.
[Epic 4G General] rojasj:
Waiting is all part of the game. I really do feel it will be worth it. Is the wait worth it to you guys?

Have you tried other roms? If so which and did you like them?

Jrojas Via Tapatalk
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
SRF 1.3 is in the works, I know that for a fact. JohnCorleone has been testing, and chris41g has taken over Mystery's job.

Be patient. Right now, there are many great roms out there. Not trying to hate on SRF, but it's not any better than some roms we already have. Take the iPhone for example. It's popular because of the name, but there are many other phones better than it.

Same thing with SRF. It's popular because of the name, but there are so many froyo roms that are just as good, if not better, than it.

I understand you're excited for 1.3, but it's not going to bring anything revolutionary for the Epic. I'm sure there will be more tweaks, new kernel, and new theming, but that doesn't mean it'll be the best.

I apologize if I brought you down in any way or made SRF sound bad. It's still one of my favorite roms and I am looking forward to 1.3 but in the mean time, try out the ones we have now.

Also, seeing you only have 3 posts here, welcome to the Epic 4G XDA community. Once again, sorry if I scared you a bit :p

Just wanted to inform you :)

I've used them all, and I'd have to say, IRA Rebirth is on my phone atm is it's running better than it EVER has, hands down. I've never had a ROM increase my battery life, but it is noticeably better.

It's worth a whirl. That said, I'll be rolling 1.3 when it hits, and will go from there.

Yes, I was kinda of skeptical after knowing that none of their apps cost. I don't think there is anyway that they make money from themes, so how the hell?

But as for now I'm enjoying the launcher, the best one ive used so far and havent gotten into any trouble. Hope this remains a rumor.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jaidumb:
There is an article on MoDaCo called GoApps - investigating the privacy claims which seems to clear thing up.

IMO the whole thing smells of "Look at me! My first video on XDA and I want to be controversial!"

Still, if I hadn't looked into this non-issue I would never have found out about the excellent LBE Privacy Guard app which is available for free on the Market

It's been a while since I have made one of these - back during the 1st gen MyTouch was hopping.

I made this bootscreen from scratch with the intention of sharing it out with you all and ran into a snag with the animation not appearing. Thanks to a member of our boards, this issue has been worked out and now I can finally toss this out to you all. I added the "(s)" to the title since I hope to throw a few more out there as well. I also have a "MoPho" boot coming soon that I will include in this thread as well.

Special thanks go out to dased14 for his help in getting things resolved.

So here we go....

This should go without saying, but in order to use this:

Download the zip file for the animation you like.

Rename zip file to "bootanimation.zip", if needed

Place zip on phone

Using Root Explorer, Estrongs, etc. Move file to /System/Media/

Reboot and enjoy

** You MUST be rooted **

Have you had a chance to also add sound to the custom bootanimation? If so, could you post examples of where the sound file (e.g. file name format and file extension type) we would need to put in the /system/media folder or where it needs to be?

I tried to add the letter "s" following each line of code and have a android_audio.mp3 file in the /system/media file but the animation works without sound.

For example, I have something like the following in the desc.txt:

540 960 15

p 1 15 Part0 s

p 1 0 Part1 s

p 1 0 Part2 s

Is this correct?

Thanks,

[Motorola Photon 4G] dased14:
You have to have the sound file in the system/media/audio/notifications folder and the desc it should look kinda like this
