Is there anyway to stop google redirecting searches that are types into the Android browser A address bar from redirecting the search to google.com? I'm based in the UK so the search results are irrelevant and come up on a butt ugly version of google.com, and it drives me crazy!

Go to settings (in the browser), then "Set search engine" and change it to something else.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theelichtje:
I want a Windows phone, and i like the Lumia 710, both in looks and price, but i want more storage. i know i get skydrive, but i wont be accessing the internet always, only at school and at home over wifi, so my question is: does the 710 have a hidden sd card like the trophy? i could get a trophy and swap sd cards, but nokia phones have an advantage in software (games, maps etc.)

so does anyone know this?
[HTC EVO 3D] syed239:
I'm switching to Sprint in a couple of days and I've been eyeballing the Evo 3D. I'm a huge fan of HTC (I currently have the Aria) and HTC Sense. My friend works at Sprint and he can hook me up with a phone. I asked him if he could get me the 3D and he said yeah but there are problems with it. He recommended the Galaxy S2 but Idk. Do you guys have problems with your Evo 3D? And I don't mean battery problems
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
As with any phone some will have issues while other won't. i have had mine since end of July with Zero issues. I am rooted and running CleanROM. Definitely recommend rooting it and flashing CleanROM. Very fast and stable ROM that has the look and feel of stock with great battery life. I get 24 hours with light to moderate use and 12+ hours with moderate to heavy. It is worth checking out.

It is up to you, but I say go for the 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
No problems here. Ur friend doesnt really do his homework. U will never own a problem free phone but ths sg2 is far from it.
[HTC EVO 3D] AdriVelazquez:
I've been hearing the reverse. Between the Samsung Epic 4G touch (Samsung Galaxy SII) and the HTC Evo 3D, the Samsung has much more benefits...also the 4.5 inch display is really attractive. If I had the option, I would definitely switch over to the Samsung. However, since you're posting here, I think the development community is much more active with the Evo3D...basically meaning more options. Also I've heard Samsung is bad with rolling out updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] syed239:
Yeah I know the screen is Super AMOLED but I looked in the S2s forum and there isn't a HTC Sense ROM out and I don't think they plan on releasing one anytime soon. I'm just getting the Evo 3D because it runs HTC Sense and is faster than the Evo 4G. I really don't care for the 3D part
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
The SG2 is a faster more up-to-date device. Its screen seems to be very popular among most because of it's high-contrast AMOLED tech; even though it is lower resolution than the 3D's. I'm honestly not sure what the dev scene for it looks like... because, well, I don't have it so I haven't ever really looked at it.

I personally chose the 3D because I like the 3D feature (gimmicky as it may be it is pretty dang awesome) and, more importantly, I like HTC's build quality and design.

As for my choice; I've been through three Evo 3Ds, the first had a cluster of dead pixels, the second rebooted and had some major light leakage problems, and the third had (and is building up more and more) dust inside of its screen. My third replacement should be coming within the next couple of days so we shall see what #4 has in store for me. :)

As for bugs in the SG2; I've heard horror stories of LOS problems and some issues w/ the battery life but I'm no expert, I say do a little bit more research on each phone before you make your choice.

P.S.: You will never find a "perfect" phone. They all have their pros and cons, it all comes down to your preference in the end. :D

Edit: Oh, btw, you'll never see a Sense ROM for the SG2; their code is not open-source so only HTC can use it.
[HTC EVO 3D] syed239:
Thanks for clearing that up! So I'll just do a little more research on that. But I'm still leaning towards the Evo because I'm not a fan of TouchWiz. But I really do like how slim the S2 is. And its screen
[HTC EVO 3D] iamlex:
No mayor issues, the phone is really awesome and fast! but If I had the change to pick again, I go for the Samsung since is more new!
[HTC EVO 3D] envioustitan08:
Sprint sucks ass! Don't switch you'll regret it, I did.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
He is not asking about sprint, he is asking about the phone. This the the second thread that I saw you posted in saying the same thing but you didn't give a reason why.

Back on topic, i think besides a couple of design flaws like light leakage and some people complaining about a crooked screen, the evo 3d is awesome. If I had the choice, i would get the 3d again with all of the software issues that the sg2 is having (los).
[HTC EVO 3D] syed239:
What's a light leakage and is it something that would make me not want the phone? I just want it because it's the fastest phone that uses HTC Sense. Unless the TouchWiz UI is better?
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
In the dark, you might see some light seeping through the crack between the screen and bezel or the backlight might bleed onto the screen from the sides. Google light leakage phones for examples.
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
I personally dont consider light leakage a problem. Doesnt effect the performance of the phone.

[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Hello:

I've a Nook Simple Touch (1.0.0) rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and I'd like to know if I may be able to update to 1.0.1.

I'm not on the US and (as far as I know) the update will happen only if and when I do it manually: copy the ZIP, paste it in the NOOK drive from a PC and so forth...

Should I, should I not? Will I 'brick' my nook or it depends... on what, exactly?

Awaiting your kind reply,

Sebastian Armas

[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Sebastian,

I was pretty much in the same situation as you: 1.0.0 and rooted. I installed the update via download from BN. I had to reroot it using touchnooter 1.6.24 again, and it went pretty fine (it looked on rooted forever screen during root, but I rebooted and it went fine the 2nd time).

But if you are using non-bn reading apps, I don't see much advantage on updating. After a couple of months, I was not able to use market on my computer to select apps for later download on the nook - it showed that I had no device, and a few weeks ago, market stopped working. I don't know if it would have happened if I had 1.0.0.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
There's no reason not to do the update.

Some people have experienced problems with updating a TouchNootered NST from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1

Did you take a backup before TouchNooter? If so restore the backup before updating and then just reapply TouchNooter.

If not, you might wanna try a factory restore and possibly a factory reset before updating.

Factory Restore: (Restores your system back to basics, almost..)

Interrupt boot 8 times by long pressing power button (10s) as soon as you see the screen flicker.

Or just boot the nookRestore image if you don't want the hassle.

Factory Reset: (Wipes your data)

Power on your NST then press and hold bottom left and right buttons as soon as you see the screen flicker.

If you're doing the above, then also take your time to make a backup before rooting again :)
[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Nook Simple Touch Rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and B&N Updates

OK... Thanks to both of you for your quick reply.

If I'm reading this properly, if I want to use the B&N 1.0.1 update, I'd better:

Unroot de NST

Update de NST 1.0.0 to 1.0.1

Root the NST 1.0.1 with TouchNooter 1.6.24 after updating successfully

That said, if I do a Factory Restore (with or without the handy nookRestore image), what will happen to my NST's registration and Shelve data? Loose it too?

Awaiting your kind reply,

Sebastian Armas

Avid reader, Spanish Interactive Fiction Author
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
System Restore will not wipe your data.

System Reset will wipe most, if not all of your settings, apps, etc..

Just plug your NST and copy the folder that holds your library, then copy it back to your NST after all the updates etc. are done.

Re-registering your NST is as easy as providing your B&N user/pass.
[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Nook Simple Touch Rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and B&N Updates

Cristal clear!

So, now it's only a matter of gathering the needed files (and my courage, let's be honest) to actually do it ;-)

Again, thank you all for your help and sound advice.

Very gratefully yours,

Sebastián Armas

[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Nook Simple Touch Rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and B&N Updates

BTW, is there any NST root on the works that is "any B&N update" compatible?

Just a thought... :rolleyes:

Sebastián Armas

Avid reader, Spanish Interactive Fiction Author
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
While it would be possible to make a root method that would survive a 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 update, it's not possible to know what system files will be replaced by a future update and thus trying to make something like that is probably just a waste of time ;)
[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
Nook Simple Touch Rooted with touchnooter 1.6.24 and B&N Updates

I see: it figures, indeed.

Well, then: besides updating my NST, I'll be looking then for news on the (I suppose) alternative to TouchNooter; that is, having a NST root booting from a SD card (it that's possible on NST)

Gratefully,

Sebastián Armas

[Nook Touch General] apeine:
What happens if I do a system reset and a restore on a 1.0.1? Do I get back to pristine 1.0.1, or back to 1.0.0? Or somewhere in between?
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
A Factory Restore should send your system back to 1.0.0

It doesn't wipe your settings, data etc, to do that you need to do a Factory Reset.

Depending on what's modified a NST might never get back to "pristine" state with Restore/Reset.

This is why I repeatedly tell people to take a backup before "rooting".
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
That's a little too late for me. The mess is already done. Instruction for backup only showed up a couple of days after I rooted.

But I hope that the backup of a little bit messed up nook is better than no backup at all, I guess.

And I'll do it anyway. In order to restore market, mostly. All market substitutes didn't help at all. And as I've done a backup with Titanium backup, I think I'll be able to restore apps in no time.
[Nook Touch General] sarmasm:
What folder holds the library? Is it in the nook RAM or in the SD Card?

Awaiting your kind reply,

Sebastián Armas
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gazbook:
The question was originally going to ask if simunlocking my phone would also unlock fastboot; however the similar threads shown after typing my title in clearly showed it does not.

So, I was wondering, is there ANY way to enable fastboot? Or alternatively, is there any way I can install something like FreeXperia on it without being able to fastboot? My phone is rooted, but my investigations suggest this is not enough.

I'm just wondering, else I'll just sell this phone and get an unlocked one.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
There is a way, for which you well have to pay some cash. In my signature you will find the first link quite informative about your query.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
If you want FreeXperia, enabling fastboot and unlocking your bootloader is an absolute must. Send a PM to either alejandrissimo or jinx13 as they are the only ones who can help you enable fastboot and unlock your bootloader. They have the unlock boxes, they have the ability to let you borrow their necessary USB dongles over network, they have access to cheap credits needed to get the job done, they have the professionalism and, most of all, they seem to be the only people who can get the job done.

It'll cost you 16 British Pounds / 24 US Dollars and, again, there is no way not to pay. It's well worth the cost though. Refer to the links in the signature in the post above this one. Logseman's threads have taught me well and should be able to do the same for you.

Good luck!
[HD2 General] evereste:
I've done a ton of research and this may look like an issue that's been covered but from what I can find, i don't think it has... When I boot up, I usually use the power button to get to unlock screen, now, this just makes my phone's sense not work at all, I hit the phone button and that makes it function properly. I'm guessing it's a dirty contact dust, does anyone know where I can find a 'how to' to open it up and clean the contact?

I hope I haven't misplaced this thread, but it's not a screen issue from what I can tell.

Thanks
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
If you're not a pro(or at least assisted by one) I wouldn't recommend you to even think about: in order to get to the part you need to clean (IMO it doesn't worth it to clean it for 5-7EUR) or to change it, you need to dismantle your hd2 piece by piece (literally), including lcd+touchscreen combo from main chassis!

If you can't leave with it the way it is, go to a service shop(a good one!)!

Cheers!
[HD2 General] evereste:
Thanks, I think I will take it to a pro...It's working great just that one very slight inconvenience. I think I caused it by installing so many roms...I'm addicted.
[HD2 General] cordaylec:
Yeah i got the same problem. Power button sticks and the screen becomes unresponsive, so I use a combination of Button Savior and Button Remapper, my volume up button is now my power button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericwalsh:
So my phones been broken since August, and I have no backups. In other words, I haven't had a phone since mid-August. Anyway, I just got some money for my birthday and job. Should I wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes out for tmo in late November? If not, suggest getting any other phone?

EDIT:hmm alright. I need a phone.. Im trying not to spend the most amount of money because im going to buy the Nexus during christmas time, but can anyone steer me in the right direction in buying a used phone off craigslist? Preferably a decent one? Price Range $100-$275. I have T-mobile but any phone thats compatible whether its unlocked or not I'll be willing to get. I'm in jersey BTW, in case any of you want to give it a look.

If you have enough money to buy one unlocked for the full price, then you should hopefully have it by this month end.

If you are looking for tmo subsidized, then there is a possibility that you might have wait longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericwalsh:
yea, I read through a bunch of pages in that thread. If I have to wait a week or two, I'll be fine with that... And I'm just going to root it assuming it will be possible as other Nexus phones were easily rooted..

Just not so sure if its hitting tmobile.. I dont come on here as much as I used to, but if you find ANY news having to do with tmo and the galaxy nexus or the release date, mind Pming me? thanks :cool:

yea, I think ill just be buying it full price unfortunately.

ive been doing that the past hour. I just dont want to find one, get it then regret buying it a day later. Im just looking for a solid phone to use for a month, maybe two.. G2 any good? how about the Aria?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Aria is old and doesn't have AWS for 3G on T-mo. G2 is good. You could always get a MyTouch 4G (not slide) or an original Galaxy S very cheaply.

Whats it matter if you're only going to use it for 1-2 months then get rid of it anyways? Get something that works and is cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
I'm not sure about your area, but I could find Nexus S for around $200
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericwalsh:
Yea, your right.

Hmmmm..Is the nexus S worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
I can relate to you. I lost my phone (Nexus One) 2 months ago. Since then I have been using my 5 year old Samsung. It works great as a phone for calls and text msgs. That's it!!! I feel so disconnected from the world without my neXus 1. Considering GS was going to come out soon, I did not want to waste any money on an temp android phone.

If I were in your place without a phone I would get the cheapest one possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ace42:
I've seen G2X's on ebay around 200 give or take, of course not in perfect condition. If you like tegra you should consider that phone over older ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericwalsh:
yea, thats what i think i may do...not having a phone for 5 months is driving me insane, since i was a rooting fanatic with my vibrant and texted every day haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:

not really if you plan on not using it at all after the GN comes out. If you want to hold onto it for fun it could be worth the $$ if you have it.

Pattern Lock Path Color [HELP NEEDED]

Here are some files I hope will shed light on what controls the white semi-transparent line that appears when we draw/finger drag a pattern.

See screenshot in [OP].

In the keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml on line 18 is the following code which I assume is linked to the process.

If that is part of the process then I am confused as to why the end of that line does not appear in keyguard_screen_unlock_landscape.xml.

<com.android.internal.widget.LockPatternView android:id="@id/lockPattern" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="2.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:aspect="@string/lock_pattern_view_aspect" />

I have been looking at the source code LockPatternView here and a third of the way down there is reference to R.styleable.LockPatternView_aspect and all the images used for the lockpattern.

Amongst that is

mPathPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE); // TODO this should be from the style

but by this time I am completely lost and plucking at straws.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

do you think there's any way we would be able to use the Samsung lock screen for the galaxy s2 (I like the messaging and music integration) but with a secondary lock with a pattern for example without a 3rd party app?

Do you not just need to press Menu - Settings - Location & security - Set up screen lock - Pattern.

Sorry if I have completely misunderstood you.

no, I'm looking for a sort of "double lock" without the use of a third party app. I remember my HTC hero back then had this feature where you would unlock the phone then enter the password. I think even iphones have the same feature.

I only need it now because syncing email requires that I have the security lock on the device
