I had the first issue's problem. I used ROM Manager to reinstall CM7, wiping all caches. It fixed the problem. Obviously it's not ideal, so thanks for posting. I'll keep it in mind if I run into the problem.

I also had force closes on Facebook and Words With Friends. I thought they were related to the original issues, but the force closes came back. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] GTT1:
EW2X4 you don't say but if you are running of SD card then many cards give force closes.

Assume you aren't as you talk about using ROM manager but others with Force closes reading might be on SD so will post this

If SD card read some of the threads which recommend Sandisk class 4 or lower cards
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Use CWR version 3.2.0.1 when creating the bootable image on the card. Then wipe system, data, cache and Davlik before installing. You miss one of them and you are going to get FCs. It can be found here: http://www.multiupload.com/0DLC9QATOW

phone appears to not b ringing, its not on silence or anything, whats up?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickbuck:
Check your sound and ringtone settings.. It might be that the sound you had setup is no longer working or has been deleted, or whatever. Try other ringtones.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:
ok i trying that, how about this i have a tone that on my blackberry it was a notifer, but on the Epic is showing only as a ringtone and wont give it to me as a option for a notifier tone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Also do you have any call blocking or call screening apps? Had one of those and most of the time the phone wouldn't ring. Deleted it and phone worked perfectly/ Sprint allows call number blocking via their website.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Try zedge in the market for all of your ringtone, notification, and wallpaper needs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:
zedge? and yea i have a call blocker from the market seems to be jacking up other things also.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
That's the problem then. You don't need it.

Thank You very much for this info......I've been using Mr. Number and I too have had some issues w/ my sound dropping off and I have to reboot to fix it. Hopefully uninstalling Mr. Number will fix it. Updating my Sprint account to ignore the #'s instead! Damn solicitors!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rimidalvr1966:
Hello,

I just got my new Epic 4g touch from Wirefly. I did not purchase insurance coverage with them. Now I found company called Securranty. They supposedly provide warranty, accidental damage, and lost/theft. However not too many RELIABLE reviews.

Has anyone had experience with this insurance? Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Just sign up for TEP with sprint. You have 30 days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Check out Worth Ave Group.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rimidalvr1966:
Sprint TEP is much more expensive(~$200 for 2yrs). Worth Ave group does not provide extended warranty. Just Accidental/lost/theft.

Any opinions about Securranty?

Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
How much is it?

Never mind, I looked it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Never heard of Securranty. And Worth Ave group does offer warranty. Depends on the state you live in i believe. They have insurance and warranties.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Anakolapa:
Never buy a warranty from them!

I filed my claim 10 days ago already, but it's still no result! Nobody call or email me. I was trying to call them, but I always get to voicemail. The worst service ever!
[Android Apps and Games] xenofont:
Hi everybody!

I recently started looking for a browser to replace the stock one and I think I installed every possible option there is without giving much thought to the consequences - app permissions and possible violation of my privacy and misuse of my data.

So I found what I thought was a really nice and well-functioning browser called Ninesky from the Android market.

Luckily for me I did not get to use it for long, before I detected a strange pattern - Ninesky would automatically start itself upon boot, connect to a server in China, upload some data and receive some back and then just sit there and wait idly.

The server that it connects to belongs to a company called aBitCool, which is, according to Bloomberg, an ISP in China.

So I kill it off and after a while it's back, doing the same thing. I also noticed a similar behavior for Dolphin HD, except that it would send data just once very quickly after boot-up and then close itself and stay quiet. That led me to Google it a little, which in turn led me to an existing thread about Dolphin HD on this forum.

So here are my noob questions that I hope somebody can answer, please:

1. Can somebody take a look at Ninesky browser and let us all know what kind of data it is transmitting about its users upon boot and maybe even later on during the actual use of the browser? The list of permissions that Ninesky asks for is huge and that makes me a little worried. Also, Ninesky runs a "safety check" of every URL visited. I wonder what that really is.

2. Say it would try to steal information from its users - would it be possible for the app to somehow get access to my stored usernames and passwords from other programs (such as Gmail or Skype) or are these encrypted? I presume that if I were stupid enough to let Ninesky's password manager "remember" my usernames and passwords for certain websites then that information would be easily accessible to them.

3. Can an app with such permissions also function as a keylogger?

4. I can understand why folks here would write some apps on their own and share them with the rest of us. I can understand why a developer or a company would write an app and make one version available for "free" or as an ad supported one and/or offer a premium version for $$$. At the end of the day developers need to eat and pay their bills just like the rest of us and companies are (for the most part) profit-seeking institutions (unless they are GE or MS that have money to burn). That said - why for the love of god would anybody, other than an enthusiast, develop a browser, for which they will not ask for any $$ or won't even display any ads in it? Where is the catch? Now, I know that Opera and Firefox get money from Google to use it as their default search engine, but would this really apply for a few random Chinese companies? Where is the catch?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] onestoploser:
I was a big supporter of Ninesky but I uninstalled today. It does seem to be constantly running and transmitting data, though what data is being transmitted I don't know. LBE also kept notifying me that it was trying to obtain my location information even when I wasn't using it. I uninstalled it through the Market and left a one star review.

Drunk texted from my MIUI Thunderbolt.
[Android Apps and Games] thejamhole:
I'm writing a review of about 13 different Android browsers, and came across Ninesky. Has anyone heard anything more about the privacy concerns and what data it might be transmitting?
[Android Apps and Games] js931:
well....if it keeps requesting the location even while its closed, thats not a good sign... :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Not good. This needs addressing.

I have changed my review on Market also until we get some answers.

Cheers to the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] thejamhole:
I agree. I think my review should come out tomorrow, hopefully the developer reaches out. It really is a decent browser.

Anyone researched Xscope or could research this browser?

If you explain how, I could do it myself!!
[Android Apps and Games] BombayBoy:
But the OP got it wrong with money burning by GE & MS. There's no such thing, its all business. Just to let you know, in the browser wars - Firefox was Google's first step into browsing. Then came Chrome.

For all privacy concerns, LBE Privacy Guard is a good option. Though its Korean, if am not wrong.

Well, finally there's options out there. Nobody is forcing us to download, install & use their apps.
[Android Apps and Games] sushidog:
Agree with everything BUT Firefox was never connected to Google like Chrome. Firefox's current existence is owed almost exclusively to its search partnership with Google wherein Mozilla Corp receives a portion of ad revenue from Google queries initiated from Firefox's search bar. This revenue amounts to tens of millions of dollars. But Mozilla and Google Relations Strained Due to Chrome.

Firefox its independent and don't collect your data like Chrome/Google do...
[Android Apps and Games] BombayBoy:
Connected with reference to Google promoting & supporting Firefox before they decided to go with Chrome.

Calamitous with Ninesky

Hi,

I stumbled upon XDA Developers forum today and I was so grateful to find this write-up; it was the only honest review I could find of Ninesky. So, thank you.

I want to share an experience our family went through a few weeks ago. Perhaps it will answer some of your questions and alert some users out there of what this browser could do. We have an unfortunate incident happen to our child: My little boy received an android tablet for a gift this October. He was so eager downloading all the apps and games he could find, and in about a month, it was completely personalized. We regularly monitored his downloads, the games he played, and the apps he utilized.

Much to our regret, we really did not give much thought to the browsers he had installed. He had more than three at one point and Ninesky was always in the background. Sadly, whenever he would search for apps, we later discovered Ninesky directly linked him to several stores that was not common to Google or Firefox. Some of them had Anime icons (mostly innocent looking), nicely titled games for their tiles. Some apps were legitimate and very cool games; however, some apps were direct links to hard-core porn websites and a whole universe of filth (not excluding child-porn). They attached themselves to the tablet like trojans and was quite aggressive in linking the user to overseas app stores (inappropriate). Every time a game would be uploaded from one of these stores, it gives auto-access to these atrocious websites and videos. Because Ninsky

always

functioned in incognito--one of it's touted features--we almost had no access to the history or cookies when this browser was used. Almost anyway ... it took us hours (and some hacking) to track and identify what was really going on, the seeming source of it was this "sophisticated" browser.

So the catch may be that this browser has no advertisements because it plays host to several groups funding the porn industry. That's my suspicion anyway, based on what we went through.

I cannot begin to say how grieved we are that our son was exposed to all this, especially that we discovered it so much later. We thought we paid attention. That being said, he's back to playing with his remote control car outside, where life is a bit less complex.

More power to your forum and thanks again.

[General Questions and Answers] Ghoymakh:
Hi,

I would like to know... is there any way to get a LIVE (ie: animated) Android wallpaper to run as the desktop background "picture" of a Windows 7 laptop?

I'm talking about the actual live wallpaper form the apk, and not a crappy gif.

If it won't loose its HD status, I don't mind if it's html or flash.

I'm thinking about the new ICS wallpaper... the one with the different colors and particles floating around. I have it running on my Desire HD, but I'd like to have it on my laptop too!

I Googled enough to find out that no one has a clear cut answer for this, and i thought: if the xda developers can't do it, who can?!

I'm posting this in Q&A because it's a question, not a request.

It's about Windows 7 (no win7 sections in the forum) but it also requires the devs to have knowledge about android wallpapers and how they work.

I've attached the apk of the ICS background in question.
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:
no you cant these wallpapers are made only for android phones.You can search anyway in google for windoes 7 animated wallpapers or gif pictures
[General Questions and Answers] jhorton014:
You can get a program called Windows Dreamscene for windows 7. Then you will have to search yourself for an ics lwp.

Here is the link to Dreamscene.

[General Questions and Answers] herita:
i upp this topic because i'm looking for answer of this question (request) too :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ghoymakh:
I tried Dreamscene, and though the idea behind it is great, its execution is less than satisfactory.

The "movie" loop stops looping if you stand-by your laptop (and let's face it, most people rarely "shut down" their laptops anymore, except maybe if they need to take it outside of their homes), the Dreamscenes available online free of charge are very few, and the good ones are even fewer.

All of that, I'm still find with. What I don't like, is the fact that I can't uninstall dreamscene from my laptop! It got integrated into the system, and doesn't have an "uninstall" button, and installnig it messed with the registry enough, and I'm not going to risk messing with it again.

aaanyway... I hope somebody finds a way to make the android LWP's show on our windows backgrounds in full HD.

Optimus V

Stock (not rooted)

Android 2.2

I have two google accounts (lets call them A and B), and both are set up with the device under Accounts/Sync. Recently, though, the notification that the Android Market has updates available has been showing up twice in the notification bar: once for each google account. I used to find it odd that account B was the one that used to show up for the Market, rather than A, if that has anything to do with it. I did try downgrading the Market by uninstalling updates and letting it re-update on its own, but that didn't change anything. In fact, my having done that before might be the reason why this is happening now.

Any help or ideas? Thanks.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MillyBays:
I have been making some changes to my Nexus One lately because I was having some battery life/drain problems.

Here is my current setup:

ROM: MIUI 1.11.11

Kernel: Tiamat_N1-v4.1.0

Radio: 5.12.00.08

WiFi Sleep Policy set to Never

Brightness is Automatic

Not that many apps installed; no rogue apps

I just listen to music, browse the internet, and occasionally play games. (Not 3D games that require a lot of resources, just casual stuff)

No, I have not calibrated my battery yet- I'll worry about it later.

Does anybody have some tips for how to help increase my battery life? Perhaps another kernel is better? etc

All help appreciated. If you have a question, feel free to ask and I'll get back to you ASAP.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abccg:
You should change brightness from automatic because automatic will constantly work in the background to check if the screen needs to be brighter/dimmer.

Also get setcpu and use this basic setup:

Main Settings:

Scaling: On Demand

Max: 998

Min: 256

Profiles:

Screen off -> Scaling = On Demand, Max = 576, Min = 256

If you're listening to music while your screens off, you may want to bump up the Max to 614 for the screen off profile if you're experiencing slowness, if not keep it at 576.

That should help your battery last at least a 10% more relatively speaking.
