That was a common problem on froyo, I had it happen several times, not since the 2.3.3 update, if its happening alot and really annoying, you can try sbfing and wiping everything and start over.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
I have that issue on occasion but only when its from my gf who is on kudoo. And thats been since day one
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Yea, I use the stock text app, I get them periodically. Seems to only be during times of low signal or when it is from my girlfriend who has an old ass phone from Metro PCS she got when she lived in Boston.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lubencw:
Maybe its not the service...maybe there INTENTIONALLY sending it twice so they dont have to repeat themselves...LOL

yea, im on the stock app... still happens occasionally. i will wait for the next version of eclipse, and try to do a fresh install.

Hi there, i have used app2sd for quite a long time and i really like it. I recently saw that now kyrillos has hybrid data2sd. Can someone tell me what the difference is between the two and how hybrid data2sd is 'better'. Thank you :)
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyrillos13:
Hybrid data2sd enable you to manually (and easy) select which files/folders you want to move to sd. Data wipe isnt nessesary :P
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillbeast:
Hybrid Data2SD is available in the kernel so you don't need the ROM to support it, so say if you like using stock ROMs, you don't need to add the init.d script. Just enable it on your SD card and the config will be the same for every ROM.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It was in response to your comment about barely getting Gingerbread. Regarding Win Mobile 7.x, there is no way to put it on the Streak as far as I know. Win Mobile 7 is as evil as iOS, in that Microsoft tells you what you want and you will like it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumouri:
Microsoft took an approach in between Apple and Google, their operating system is still closed source, but manufacturers can license it. They control the hardware it is on, like iOS, but they allow it on any phone that runs that hardware. We don't have the source, though, so it would be really hard (and I would imagine not worth it based on the response so far) to port it over to our hardware.

Trying to get used android phones for my parents.

Going to change their verizon service to page plus 1200 plan.

They will save almost 100 bucks per month changing to page plus with more minutes.

Need help picking out good used android phones for parents.

My top choice is Droid X right now

big screen, lightweight, on craigslist for 100-130.

Right now they are using old LG touchphone(resistive screen)

that automatically calls and txt in their pocket.
[Off-topic] Tone_Capone:
Are you sure android is the best way to go? I know that even my parents get confused over something more complicated than a flip phone....

If you do want android, The droid x is my personal phone, but its pretty bulky and takes getting used to. If you are going used, I would get the Samsung Fascinate. They are easier on the eyes, and the TouchWiz UI will be easier to use for them than MotoBlur. They are seeling in my area for around $100 on craigslist.

You may want to look into a cheaper LG with a keyboard too.
[Off-topic] daniel4653:
I agree with you my parents get confused using a flip phone. But yea the samsung fascinate is an easy to use phone
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:

[Off-topic] MartyLK:
Fully agree. The simpler, the better. And WP7 would give them a super simple and very elegant and nice phone. It's what I would get for mine, hands down, no question. You can get a Samsung Focus for as little as $150 on eBay or around $200 elsewhere online.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supamike88:
Is this possible? I really like the sense camera for the edit effects. A good photo effect app would be just as appreciated

Edit: another problem I'm having with the CM7 camera is that the picture doesn't fill the screen like with sense
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
probably not. Everything is different from sense to cm7
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
No. Every main Sense app is tied to framework blah blah blah, anyway HTC has it fixed so the apps depend on Sense as a whole...There's no picking this or that out, none of that, on touch wiz people have hacked the apps but that's different. Just use another camera app like fx, lg, etc...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supamike88:
Any idea where to find a good alternative?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnjjschmidt:
Set the CM7 camera to 4MP wide if that's what you really want. All it's doing is slightly zooming in, so you're actually getting slightly worse picture quality.

could someone tell me how to make an app transparent ..like what xml or png to change
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Decompile, then check res/drawable/hdpi for the .png image you want.

If you're looking to theme something dependent on framework, you'll have to edit colors.xml and change the hex color. You can find the color code you want using gimp/photoshop. In the xml there are two numbers before the 6-digit hex color code. Change these two digits to "00" for transparent.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elnitrox:
havent tried Ocing in my arc,im curious is it really a big difference

from 1ghz Ocing to 1.4 or higher?and the only way to O/C is to unlocked bootloader and use different kernel?is there a stable and safe frequency?tested in a daily usage..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
Well, I'm currently running at 806Mhz, I was previously at 1.2Ghz and to be honest, I don't see any difference.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alfa Kenny One:
You may try to flash the DoomKernel on your device. It will give you rootaccess, the possibility to over and underclock. But first you need to unlock your bootloader.

I overclocked my Arc to 1,9ghz Max running for days without any problems. I dont recommend much higher or it will run stuck and you may damage your device.

Only overclock your device when you have a good feeling about it ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.alawi:
so does that mean i can't over clock to let's say 1.4 GHz and let it be like that for daily use ? either with DoomLord ROM or CM7 ROM..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taaviu:
You can overclock, but ARE YOU REALLY need 1,8Ghz??? All day.

Stock you had 1Ghz and its already fast.

When you doing some grazy OC lets say 1.9ghz your device may be unstable after that.

Most people using 1,2 or 1,4ghz because its stable and not draining battery a lot.

I use 800-900mhz and very happy.

Whay we always talking overclocking, but not "downclocking" :)

Edit: doomlord kernel max is 2.0Ghz but dont forget about stock is 1ghz....so 2 times faster BUT not all devices are stable with this insane speed.

CM7 and FXP kernel max 1,6Ghz and its rock solid stable all day and night.

Cheers

Taavi
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taaviu:
Agree.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chitose_ndy:
From what I've experienced,

If u set the OC in min 1GHz and max 1.8GHz like what I've done, you will notice that ur phone is going smoother.

Well, this is my opinion..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taaviu:
Minimum 1Ghz....wtf? :) its draining your battery with light speeds.

I think 245Mhz is good :)

Cheers

Taavi
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chitose_ndy:
Yes it drains battery :p

I mean just to test is there any difference between OC or not. :)

I'm using min 245GHz and max 1.8GHz

When i connect my defy to pc yesterday via mini usb (miui rom). It shown the usb notification. Suddenly power off in my home and after power came when i try to connect usb thru pc it's not showing the usb connected in notification. I am getting usb not recognized or malfunctioned pop up msg in my pc(windows 7). Forget to tell my usb was little wet that time bcoz i fallen the drinking water over it. But i cleaned with dry cloth(will it be the reason for any hardware fault). I have 6 months warranty still but i had custom rom when i try to flash via rsd lite from defy bootloader(pressing volume up button by holding power on):-( it not showing my device connected in rsd lite. I installed latest moto drivers. Wiped data cache(2nd init) and installed fresh miui rom:-( no use. Problem is i need to flash fresh official froyo using rsdlite to give for repair in service center. Please! Anyone faced this prob, any solution for it guys. It is charging when connected to pc via usb cable. Tried in different machines no use:-( help me!
[Defy General] bujcri:
I have the same problem. I searched the internet for an answer but no solution worked. Most probably the problem is due to a conflict between Motorola Media Link and RSD Lite. Reinstalling RSD Lite did not solve the problem so next logical step would be to uninstall Media Link (I suppose you have it installed).

As for myself, I did not try it 'cos my Windows 7 64 bit is more then 1 year old so it must be bloated with all kind of drivers and programs and I was too lazy to try to do smth with it.

I guarantee anyway that if you take this radical approach (reinstalling Windows), RDS Lite will see your phone again.

Anyway, what I did was I used an Windows XP that I had on a virtual machine. Just downloaded motorola 32 bit driver, installed RDS and shared USB devices with the virtual machine and it worked.

So, the problem is most probably not related to your phone, but to your OS, which should be cleaned of all Motorola drivers and programs and then reinstall... and maybe with some luck you succeed :)

If not, use a virtual machine.

Good luck!
[Defy General] bujcri:
I made an effort :) and uninstalled Motorola Media Link. RSD Lite worked just fine after that...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy629:
Hi. Recently my htc desire started rebooting when I used 3G.

Anyway this time it has gone for good and just hangs at the HTC bootscreen.

I tried going to bootloader -> recovery, but when I select it, it just reboots.

I have tried bootloader -> clear storage, but doesn't make a difference

After that I tried to flash it to the most recent RUU, but get a 131 customer ID error. Does anyone have any idea how I might install a new rom and get it working again - keeping in mind that I cannot boot the phone to a ROM?

BRAVO UNKOWN SHIP S-ON

HBOOT - 0.75.0000

so change there. Still hangs at the HTC boot screen.

I have a Samsung Captivate and I've been having some issues that have gave me some trouble, Yeah I know it says to look up previous cases of the device but I have yet to find Anyone with the same problem and I've been at this for a week now trying to fix this phone.

When I press the power button the AT&T Logo comes on but only stays there for about 8 seconds then turns off it'll stay on if I hold the power button.

First I tried the Odin3 program, I followed all instructions for it. My phone can go into DL mode and my computer can recognize it as a device, I booted up the program and so far I've had no problems during the process the Odin detected my phone and finished the process but when it finishes my phone will boot to the AT&T logo for a couple of seconds then it'll go to the battery stand by screen and ... that's it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Abagnale:
For me the best solution is Titanium Backup. Always does its job :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
It depends on what type of backup you want. Do you want to restore the apps onto new rom?

You can boot into clockworkmod and do a nandroid backup. This would backup entire nand. You would just simply then flash same nand partition and restore rom back when needed.

If you simply want to backups your apps/app data then you can either do the nand backup and then use appextractor to restore apps from the backup to new rom or you can use Titanium Backup to backup/restore all your apps/app data.
