Hey guys, I just flashed serendipity today and I must say I love it thus far. Haven't run into any problems. This maybe my first one but I'm not so sure this is a bug with said rom.

All the games I have installed time out and I have to turn the screen on again. I realize that I can just increase the timeout period (my current workaround) but I wanted to know if anybody is experiencing this issue either on serendipity or other roms. I thought it could have been a flaw with the game but I've tried games like cut the rope, worms, need for speed shift, and words with friends. Its the same problem with every single one. Chime In!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
It happened on other ROMs for me as well (NFS Shift)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddies92:
I wonder if its an incompatibility with our phones then... kinda how like some games refuse to work with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
It's up to the app to prevent the screen from timing out.

Generally you don't go 30s without pressing the screen though.

Its definetly game fault, because I dont get screen off in half games i can doodle jump all day without off but in shift and others screen becames black so I use widget to prevent it

Yeah true, I just thought it was interesting... I just have to increase screen timeout.. thanks guys=)

Is it possible to slide out the keyboard to get to the type and send widget, without the widget?

E.g. By default, sliding out keyboard and typing a letter gets you to google search. Is it possible to get it to type and send instead without the widget?

Or make the widget invisible somehow but maintain its functionality?

Hello

I know I will be repeating, but i have read many things and they just do not get into my thick head

so let me start

i bought a Samsung Focus from ebay.in (cell-force.in)

i got the phone. it had initial software (i think pre nodo) installed. i connected it to Zune to my PC, it took some time but it installed the latest release, i.e. 7720

now, when i further explored i found that it is not possible to install apps other than marketplace, also the great well known wifi bug

now I need your help

could someone please help me, what should I do to solve this

I want my device to be able to install any application I want

I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)

Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?

I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet

So pleaser held me

By the way, I have WinXP in my laptop, not Win7

Waiting for your help friends
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Now, the long bits. I sent this to someone else, but posting it here so others can read. I'll build a newb how-to shortly.

First, you need to be on 7004/7008 OS version (check in settings/about).

If your version is greater than that (739x, 7720) then you need to downgrade to 700x

If your rom is greater than that then read my mini-guide here

Now, you need to unlock, so read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127

It has a video tutorial, so it should be easy.

Once unlocked, immediately install Samsung Tools from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924497 and run them.

Make sure "prevent relock" is checked (actually everything should be checked) and reset.

Then, install WP7 Root Tools from here:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1265321

Now, you should be able to sideload.

When you've done all these, you could update to 739x (NoDo) but not all the way to Mango (7720) since you need to do some more steps, which you can also read here (includes all steps):

[Focus General] nipungupta7:
thanks Sir

you are really very helpful

one last query, can i use winxp for all this. i have read people have trouble using winxp

if not, i will have to update to win7, which is not so easy
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
You're welcome, good luck!

Yes, you can use XP SP3.
[Focus General] nipungupta7:
just wanted to share this

i succesfully created apphub account with my university email id

and now i have interop unlocked, and can install 3rd party apps:)

but still cant connect to wifi (any wifi), even if broadcasting ssid is active, but i cant still connect to wifi

it is hard for me to believe that there is any hardware fault

well lets see, if MS fixes more bugs/adds features in the Nov 7 announcement

fingers crossed
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Glad to hear you're sorted, at least for most bits.

I sincerely doubt on Nov 7 they will announce anything else than generation 2 phones and some software. But we'll see.

For your WiFi issue I suggest you try this: install Connectify on a laptop with Windows 7 and share the wireless connection (or a PC with a wireless dongle but with Windows 7). If that doesn't work, your phone has a hardware fault. I know for sure this works with any WP7 phone I've tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Hey guys, i found a pretty nice ICS theme which has a zip file that is said to be compatible with metamorph and zipthemer. I'm wondering if our device will work with them. I'm on audiophile.redux, froyo.
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
My Atrix is running stock Gingerbread, rooted. It has spontaneously rebooted between twice a day and once every-other day since I did the OTA update last summer. I am experiencing 8 to 10 reboots per week.

I don't care at all about the finger-print scanner and only care somewhat about webtop. I do care about the reboots. This makes me consider CM7.

I don't know the root cause of these reboots, the usual suspects being, poorly written apps, kernel bugs and flaky RAM. I have not been able to detect any pattern that points to any one cause.

Q1: Is this typical OTA-GB behavior on Atrix?

Q2: What is the stability of the latest CM7 beta? Does anyone actively running it (daily usage) experience this level of random reboots. I am hoping for responses from CM7 daily drivers, not users who swap ROMs frequently.

Thank you.
[Atrix 4G General] defnow:
Q1. Yes, I had a 4-5 reboots in a week. Usually happened when my data got stuck.

Q2. Not one reboot, yet. On CM7 for alittle over a month now.
[Atrix 4G General] Newbleeto:
I am running CM7, and have been since the beta came out. No problems whatsoever, except maybe the wifi, but that's to be expected. Before that I was running stock GB, updated OTA, also no reboots. I think it's a little weird that yours is rebooting that often, how long have you had that phone? Perhaps it's hardware related?
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
I got my Atrix on opening day. If it is failing RAM, I need to check on my warranty limits with ATT.

What is the issue with Wifi and CM7? I have not noticed wifi issues on OTA-GB.

The media apps I frequently run are TuneIn, Podtrapper, PowerAmp, I also run news apps for BBC, NYTimes, Bloomberg, CNN & NPR. Many of my reboots happen when moving in or out of TuneIn and PodTrapper. I can't definitively say these apps are the problem because I keep them running most of the time.
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
Good data point. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] kutluch:
I have delt with reboots since purchasing the phone, and accross all of the roms that I have tried(both official and unofficial). Recently my WiFi failed. If I turned on the wifi it would just say error and sometimes reboot the phone. after wiping the phone completely I tried stock, cherry pi, and cm7. CM7 was the only one that would last more than 2 minutes without rebooting but I could still not turn on wifi. I became convinced that I had defective hardware and had the phone replaced. There is a good chance that you have defective hardware.
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
Shortly after starting this thread I changed from LauncherPro to GO Launcher. Since then the reboots have dropped to 1 or 2 total in the past month.

I don't that know all rebooting was the fault of LauncherPro but it seems clear that it was a significant contributor.
[Atrix 4G General] FtaWolf:
More then likely it's one apps that you have installed are was undated from market.. Try doing factory reset then adding app"s 1 @ time to see which one is causing the issue.
[Atrix 4G General] mightyveg:
No wifi or bluetooth

I'm running a rooted, unlocked, stock gingerbread. Everytime I attempt to kick off wifi or bluetooth, it reloads. I'm going to try CM7 and see if that helps :mad:
[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
Well at this point, it's not broke and l'm not going to fix anything.

As I said, I don't entirely blame LauncherPro, but suspect it was conflicting with another application. I haven't seen a flood of complaints about LP.

At this point, I am quite pleased with my Atrix. I have no desire to get one of the new phones.

First thing you need is to Nvflash clockworkmod(CWM) recovery. You can find it in the application and development section.

Then either choose faux kernel:

Or the trinity(go for the T15 max for OC) kernel from this MIUI thread:

Make a nandroid backup before you proceed flashing those kernels inn CWM. Read the instructions in both linked thread for the proper way of installing kernels/mods.

Hi, Im wondering if it is possible to use a gaming controller, such as the phonejoy or other xbox, wii etc with the gameloft games on the Xoom?

Since these games dont have the ability to switch off the on-screen controls I was curious if there is an app or similar which will allow me to play for example Dungeon Hunter 2 HD on the xoom with a controller.
[General Questions and Answers] vwestberg:
YES YES YES

Look for a cable that specifically states OTG or host. If you go on ebay and search "micro host otg" almost every result will work. Downside is that they're all shipping from China, so it takes ~2 weeks to get here.

then use and emulator of course a few good ones are: Nesoid, Gensoid, and the Super Nintendo emulators

remember to thank me....

DIDNT REALIZE YOU SAID GAMELOFT GAMES THE ANSWER IS NO THEN BUT YOU CAN USE IT WITH EMULATORS SO I GUESS YOU COULD GET THE PS2 EMULATOR AND PLAY THAT WAY

To be honest, I am confused...

I have an Atrix that I just got a few days ago and its running CM7 (4.5.91 or whatever that is)

And I just wanna revert back to stock. Im gonna install "fruitcake" in just a minute but i'd rather just have a STOCK phone.

I looked into it and couldn't make up how to do it after reading.

Any help is appreciated. Just point me to a guide on how to do it or direct me.

Thanks,.. Seriously

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
first of all, 4.5.91 is the MOTOBlur versioning, not CM7....they are 2 completely different things.

secondly, fruitcakes is stock. not really sure what you are looking for....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhoopes517:
When I go to settings on the phone and I scroll down to the bottom and look at system version, its on "4.5.91" BUT I know for a fact its running CM7

Fruitcake is Stock, BUT I want the phone to be fully reset to stock. No Custom Recovery, No Unlocked Bootloader. None of it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
thats too bad. once you have unlocked the bootloader there is no going back. once unlocked, always unlocked

what is the reason for wanting to get rid of everything? you can run a stock rom with the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery. those things do not inhibit or reduce functionality at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobileweasel:
Not to doubt you, but exactly how are you convinced that you are running cm7? If you are showing 4.5.91 as system version then you are most definitely not on cm7.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookies4you:
This question has been killing me. I don't own an Xperia Play yet, but I may soon. My question is about the volume rocker.

Is the rocker a dual input switch, meaning you can press both of the volume keys at the same time, or is it a switch, meaning that if you press the rocker one direction, it is physically impossible to press it the other side until you stop pressing it.

Here's what I mean in a more organized manner.

-Is the volume rocker capable of holding + and - volume at the same time, physically.

-Is the volume rocker a single part, meaning that it lifts so you can only press either + or - volume at a single time.

The reason why I'm asking about this is because I plan on android development, and I need to know if the volume rocker acts as a possible input and if both rockers can be pressed at once.

Thanks.

[TouchPad General] Gvndeb60:
Search is your friend people..... Known issue but there is a temp fix you need to do once and you will be fine until the next time you reboot. Leaving wifi on, press your network and tell your tp to forget it. Now turn wifi off. Turn back on, select your network, enter key and you are good to go until you reboot. Easy fix.

If wii settings is running real slow, no worries, do above steps pressing buttons only once and wait, it will catch up. If you pop up says it is not responding, click wait, it will work. Remember you only have to do this on reboots.

Thanks, but it also doesn't work for me. I had already searched, found that method (aside from already thinking of it and attempting it myself), but I get force closes every time and clicking wait doesn't help.

I searched the forums and couldn't find anything regarding this issue with sgs4g...

I have have tried several ROMs (stock GB, ICBINB kj1, Valhalla, Octane), and all seem to be laggy in terms of the screen actually turning on when the power button is pressed. I don't know if this is an issue with customs ROMs or if it's the phone itself (though I don't think it was as bad with stock KD1). It only takes about a second or two for the lock screen to appear, but most other phones i've seen are pretty much instant. Any thoughts on speeding up the responsiveness of lock screen appearing? I wasn't sure if v6supercharger works for GB roms so I haven't tried that. It's just annoying having to wait to check the time. Thanks for any help!

Samsung just makes their buttons differently, you actually need to hold them down rather than bump them unlike most phones.
