[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
The one thing I hate about forums/texts is that attitude is easily misconceived. It wasn't meant rude but most of the things I post come off that way sadly (perhaps I should stop posting lol).

You've been a great help here from topics I've been involved with. No harm meant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Gorilla Glass is a heat treated tempered glass with incredible resistance to scratching and cracking due to short drops. But when you put a phone in your pocket it can be subjected to twisting and bending forces it is not designed to withstand. The phone was probably getting upward pressure from your thigh and upward pressure from your abdomen/waist and being flexed in such a manner created forces that cracked the screen. Phones with large format touchscreens should never be carried in this manner, as you can see from your unfortunate results.

From what I have seen on the net these phones are one of the easiest smartphones to disassemble, but LG USA will do the repair for about $75.00. Beats taking it apart yourself to save $20 IMHO. Call them, set up the service and send it in for repair.

Hi,

If you were to rank the following mobile OS' in terms of apps, which would have the most? If there are any i missed please add them in (first being the most active and last being least active. If its dead then do not need to rank it):

Apple

Android

Windows

Palm

Thanks!

So far Apple and android has been mentioned, does this mean windows is dead / dying?

I did try to search for their apps but they mostly seem to be years old...
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
Windows is only a year old compared to iOS's 5 and androids 3-4. They have exhibited the fastest growth rate in apps of any mobile OS start-up. Windows is far from dead.

Edit: it looks like you're looking for windows mobile. Windows Phone is a new OS and all apps are, at worst, a year and a half old.
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Not at all. I considered the number of apps currently in the WP7 market and was stunned. There are more than 30,000 WP7 apps. Granted, there is a huge number of useless apps, but so is there in iOS and Android. Nevertheless, that is remarkable that WP7 has so many apps so soon. WinMo never came anywhere close to than in its entire lifespan. In another year there might be well over 100,000. Currently there are between 200,00 and 300,000 Android apps and over 500,000 iOS apps. So with that, I'd say WP7 is alive and well.

I tried to post this in deck's thread, but i'm not allowed yet.

To all of those that want to add more languages (such as spanish) to deck's gingerbread rom (or any other cm 7.1 based rom) all you have to do is push the attached apk to /system/app.

Step by step:

adb remount
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app
adb reboot

I hope this helps someone.

LatinIME.apk
[EVO 4G General] Royalfox:
Thanks alot! Just installed Decks ROM and I didn't saw Spanish language option.
[EVO 4G General] Royalfox:
Sorry for the double post, but how do I do this?
[EVO 4G General] santaparanoia:
If you're note familiar with adb, i recommend you use Root Explorer and replace the LatinIME.apk in /system/app with the one i provided. Remember that you have to mount R/W to be able to write to the system partition.

I took out the battery and rebooted the phone only to find out out I have the no service bug. I was about to download and install the radio patch from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 but when I get into the bootloader and click on recovery first I get a box with an arrow pointing out with the android and than the android with the exclamation point.

[Android Apps and Games] rpmccormick:
Not sure if this does anyone any good, but if you want it, here is the new Angry Birds featuring in-app purchase of the Mighty Eagle and in-app purchase to remove ads ($1 each I'm told).

Downloaded from the T-Mobile store. It is free, so I am hoping it is ok to post here. LINK

It may not be of any use to non-tmobile people as I'm not sure if the in-app purchases work on other networks. At least it saves TMobile people the trouble of going to the stupid T-Mobile app store webpage (which just says page not found if you are on WiFi... took me forever to guess that was the problem after getting the TXT link).

EDIT: Don't waste your time if you are not T-Mobile... I copied the .apk to my WiFi only tablet and the eagle option is not there at all, it looks just like the one from market. I even installed it twice and verified the version number is the same as my phone (v1.6.3). I haven't tried using market enabler on my tablet to fake TMobile, but that's about all I can think of. Maybe a dev sees this and is willing to hack the APK so all can enjoy the Eagal and feather goals? I'm not going to buy it since I never play on my phone. I sure wish there was a way to play the new stuff on my tablet, even if I had to pay a buck.

EDIT2: Hey, what do you know. Installing MarketEnabler (free in market) and faking T-Mobile actually worked! It now shows the Eagle button. However, when you try to purchase it says: "Device Error, Try restarting phone." (as expected).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Read the comments on that article...it seems as though the problem existed with the 8.9, NOT the 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The article's from June and the source is a Mac website who I'm guessing isn't really in the loop about what's happening at Samsung. For whatever reason, what they predicted never happened. Samsung manufactures all their own display panels unlike other OEM's. If there was a spec change, it would propbably be done regionally with whatever's changed clearly noted to the public. There's nothing to indicate that all the 10.1 display's aren't the same.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
Super PLS is just a type of IPS screen. You should be able to tell by looking at it that it's an IPS screen, as lesser alternatives really screw up the colors/contrast as you look at sharper angles. If any of these had something other than an IPS screen, I'm sure there would be plenty of stories/posts about it.

So the real question is: do you have a "generic" IPS screen, or a Super PLS. Considering that Super PLS is less expensive to produce than traditional IPS, are you concerned that you may have a cheap PLS screen, or are you concerned that they spent extra money to send you a generic IPS screen? ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
Thanks for your very satisfying. Answer. For sure they will use PLS screen made by them :)
[Motorola Droid 3] GuestK00228:
So on my physical, my "1" and "c" key are faulty. My 1 key doesn't register some times. I feel the press, but nothing appears on my screen. Also the c key tends to double press, ie. cc, and also doesn't work sometimes. So I want to request for a replacement. My friend said that if I report a faulty keyboard, they wont replace me. So my question is what reason do i give, in order to get my phone replaced?

Before booting. My tablet was dead for a long time. And now I plugged it in and the power turns orange then blinks white? Anyone know what that means?

I think it means "charging"

[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
I've always wondering about the various power button light colors as I cannot find any consistency, and the manual doesn't give any explanation about the different modes. When not on the charger, I only seem to get a blinking white light when there is some sort of notification. On the charger, I think I've see a blinking orange, blinking white, and solid orange states. No clue to any of the reasons for the different states.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Tbh, it should stay orange when it's charging. So it sounds like there's a problem with charging, either because your charger is busted or your battery is.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
This is correct.

When its off no light the device is on

When its white the tab is sleeping

Blinking white its sleeping but a app is awake using network(white blinking network use)

Orange blinking is charging.

If its flashing red green and blue. RUN ITS A BOMB.Teasing

This is in the PDF you can d/load from acer website.

If im wrong I know its close thanks for reading.

Mine does orange when charging, white when done charging, occasionally white when asleep and off when using.
[Acer Iconia A500] Totara:

Orange not blinking when charging correctly = adapter OK (enough tension and amps)

If adapter is too small (less than 12v or can't output 1.5amps), then it blinks orange.

So, my battery went flat, I then proceeded to wait for the phone to turn off, and put the new battery in (OEM battery was going in so nothing dodgy there)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] lieutenantsword:
If you're using a ROM that supports bootanimation.zip (or sanim.zip, for that matter), in your System/media/audio/ui folder, you'll find a bunch of .ogg files. Basically, they're converted .wav files (from what I understand). Anyway, there's one in there called (and I may be wrong on this, but it's something along the lines of) SystemTurnOn.ogg -- it MAY be a wav file, but it's named something like SystemTurnOn or SystemOn (can't remember which off the top of my head).

All you need to do is replace that file with one of your own and it should run on startup. Long story short, the sound on a bootanimation is separate from the bootanimation itself.

Hope this helps (and is at least a little understandable).
