[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
I have a rooted G2 running one of the rooted stock roms... My company has rolled out Lotus Traveler so we can get work email & calendars on our droids.

However, they implemented an 8 character alphanumeric password. JUST what you need when you need to place a call while on the road.

My question is: can the password unlock screen be bypassed, and if so, how?

I don't want it permanently bypassed, only whenit is connected to one of a given pair of bluetooth radios (my headset or my computer). Can't find an app for this, am I missing a search term or 2?

Thanks,

B.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4rry:
I don't know for sure, but maybe you could use tasker to enter the code for you when you connect to these bluetooth radios ?

That way you wouldn't have to play around with bypassing the unlock, it'd be done automatically.

Of course, then anyone who gets near these radios could unlock your phone...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
Other then some sort of macro which i know nothing about no you can not easily bypass a code build into the lotus program. I assume thats what your talking about and not just the phone lock screen? If its just the phone unlock screen then yes there are apps for that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
Well, it appears that Traveler, which acts as a "device administrator" sends to do a nice job of blocking the unlock bypass apps. I don't think it's providing it's own unlock, but I wouldn't be that surprised if it did.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandom:
I think it's not difficult for you to prepare a blank CD or USB. Then log in to any computer which allow you to download something.

Go to Windows Password Key official site and download it, install in that pc and burn the ISO image to a CD or USB.

Then use this to reset your locked pc, it's 100% recovery rate

Luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
ok well I just picked up my new Epic after trading in my awesome (but heavy) Evo 4G. I had no issues rooting, flashing numerous rom's, bootloaders, etc. and now I'm in a new pool!

Since I've always trusted & used XDA for that device, I trust it for this new one as well. So I am looking at the dev sub cat and naturally on page1 there are do it this way, that way, etc. I used unrevoked which naturally won't work for this, so what's the easiest (and / or preferred method) for rooting this device?

I am writing this thread on a macbook, so have access to that as well as a VM of windows xp, win 7 and openSuse, so really any OS.

Looking forward to ROM flashing, testing, whatever direction the group goes, so just like the evo, want to follow the lead from you guys.

Looking forward to the new journey!

Thanks ...

When did this become the Development Question section? Oh wait... We don't have one of those... : facepalm:

Moving this to Q&A....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlancealotx:
Removing hands from face, and ever so sorry jerdog for posting IMO a development question in the development forum. In the EVO forums on XDA, anything root related, how-to, mod's, rom's, etc. all fell under there.

Looking at the description of the Q&A it states "For all of your questions relating to the Sprint Epic 4G Touch", then why do I see questions there at all? It should be strictly links to downloads, kernels, themes, etc. but hey, that's just my .02

And ... since I am in the Q&A now, I have it rooted, I tried to restore my titanium backup which I purchased, it did install but not listed in the apps and there is an uninstall (no open) under the market, so that app is installed, just not sure why it's not able to run. I will install a terminal app this am and look for the app to try, but just curious. If TB doesn't run, what is the preferred way/app to remove sprint bloatware, etc.

Also, I assume CWM is the preferred recovery app, same with the EPIC?

I am going to start looking at ROM's, etc. so may have a few more q's down the road (putting them in the Q&A I assume) ;)

Thanks ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dette:
CWM is indeed the preferred recovery. I just started flashing ROM's myself, my favorite so far is the AOSPMod ROM, followed my Starburst.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atreides Spawn:
I agree that this seems to be the best, simplest and safest rooting method... I used this method on my wife's stock phone (she is afraid of modded). Easy as pie. I am not sure about the su version though, as I was not able to update that on her phone....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] teeskay:
Hi guys, just bought a Galaxy Note - love the device except has anyone else noticed the touchscreen sensitivity is pretty bad?

I come from mostly HTC devices - the most recent being the Sensation and I could type much faster because the sensitivity of the screen seemed to register touches better.

I have downloaded SGS Touch which when the settings are adjusted are much better but, the settings always revert and I prefer a better or more permanent solution. Is it just my unit? Haven't flashed any custom rom yet so I can still return for warranty.

Would love to know everyone's thoughts and if it is a widespread problem, what did you guys do to fix it?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] teeskay:
Hi,

Thanks for the response. It is not related to the movement issue but more toward typing... if I type the same as I used to with HTC sensation, I find that I will miss characters out. I have to be more deliberate in the touching of the screen and that makes my typing about 30-40% slower than before.

It can be resolved with the sensitivity program but I find that it keeps reverting. I was wondeing if there was a more permanent solution..

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AjaxTheCleaner:
Same Problem Here

I'm having the same touch screen sensitivity issue. The touch screen on my new SGNote is much less sensitive than that of my Motorola Atrix 4G. I'm finding that I have to press MUCH harder in order to register making typing slower and typo's common and causing usability problems with some apps. Any help in a permanent fix would be greatly appreciated. I'll continue to research this issue and post any of my own findings.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] polpan:
Hi everybody,

a noob here... I'm using xperia mini pro and my concern is that, about the loudspeaker icon on the upper left of the screen shown during voice calls...

Is there a way that icon can be moved or removed so that it doesn't accidentally turn the "loudspeaker mode" ON during calls due to the icon touching the callers ear..

and by accident turning the loudspeaker on due to its sensitive when it is touched by the ear.. it is a pain in the ear when suddenly talks loud on your ear...

thanks and more power
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pengipete:
Your phone has a proximity sensor - the screen should go blank and the touch interface will be inactive if you place anything - such as your ear - close to the screen when making or receiving a call.

I want to hook my gtablet up to my TV so I can watch netflix on it.

Will this cable allow me to do that?

Yep. Thats the one. steep price tag but its still half the price of a dock.

Is it just me or does that dock connector look kind of like the one for Apple and SanDisk Sansa devices?
[G Tablet Accessories] scanff:
Got one

I just got one of the Viewsonic gTablet HDMI Cable - LinkIT off Amazon. It works amazing I'd recommend buying a female/female coupler (only a few bucks) so you can plug in a longer hdmi cable, the cable is really short.

It's worth grabbing this, it converts your tab into a media render. Of course it does not support the screen rotation :P So you'll have to rotate your TV if the app is not landscape...joke :/
[G Tablet Accessories] drizzt5:
I'm waiting until I see one of these cables on sale or something or they show up on amazon again.
[G Tablet Accessories] new-to-it:

any ideas? solutions?
[G Tablet Accessories] shinxsetsuna:
new to it - have you tried different roms ?
[G Tablet Accessories] new-to-it:
i have not tried another rom. nor will i, im satisfied with comb.

have not tried any other tv except mine.

i bought it for netflix.

i would assume the maker would of tried it on all the roms, that should be expected since its now out for the public consume. and if not, have a disclaimer that it might not work with all roms.. not everyone visits the forums or should have to in order to buy this. i got it off amazon..

but--- its hard to believe im the only one using comb and bought the cable?? and are having troubles?

anyone else?
[G Tablet Accessories] nobe1976:
Just for ****s and giggles you should try nvflahsing back to stock and see if that works. If the cable works then it is the rom version that you are using. If it doesn't work then it is the cable. It shouldn't be the TV unless you have a different device that uses HDMI that you can test it with. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Accessories] new-to-it:
i tried going back to stock, had major trouble figuring it out.

but i went to ginger edition and it did not work.

im back to 3.3 1.1 comb.

my hd cable box works fine hooked up with hdmi.

and i hook my laptop to the tv with hdmi- no issues.

im still the only one with comb and the cable huh?

can anybody confirm? with your stats?

Dock review

HDMI dock works flawlessly. GET a quality HDMI cable and you will be content with your purchases. Netflix, HD you tube, sound, 1080p, market and rotating screens all work well!
[G Tablet Accessories] striker59:
Got the cable but picture is pixelated. Is there a setting for output? Running tnt lite 4.4 on a 720p HD TV.
[G Tablet Accessories] nobe1976:
You have to remember that not every rom supports all the features that the original roms support. For example your running comb 1.1 base which doesn't have HW. So it also might be short on other stuff as well. You might want to try the AOSP 1.2 based roms that might have more options for you. :D

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-980:
To be clear, this started before I even decided to flash to boost mobile. Anyways...

So about 3 months ago or so my phone service was shut off due to not paying my bill (long story in that). So I decided not to pay for now (low pay checks) and just use my phone off of wifi for texting and use it as a music player. During that time, I shut off the data network mode via the power button to save battery. I figured there was no reason to have it on if I had no phone service.

A couple weeks ago I installed a 2.3 rom (I forgot which one) and there was no 3G icon on top like there used to be, but I ignored it and shut off the data network mode again, thinking it was a bug.

A week ago I decided to ditch Sprint and go with Boost because I needed a phone for work. Today, I flashed but no matter what I do I can't get the data to turn on. Given, I could have messed a step up during the flashing process but from what I remember it still comes up regardless if my phone is disconnected or not. I even went to the extreme of Odin'ing my phone back to stock 2.2, and still nothing.

Suggestions? :confused:

Hi all,

I've recently rooted and installed custom Roms, but doing all of that, I used the app, reboot2recovery, which gets me into CWM after rebooting without me pressing any buttons. I chose to do this because I could not execute the button combinations needed to enter CMW (ie. press power and volume-down, then when the white text flashes in top left corner, press volume-up). Sometimes, the white text doesn't flash in the top corner, so up till now, I haven't been able to manually enter CWM.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Is there a chance your buttons are faulty?

You are pushing AND holding down the vol down plus power button?

When you see the text you have to push vol up within 5 secs
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lester Freamon:
Hey,

No, the power/volume-up/down work fine. I am pushing and holding down power/volume-down, then I press volume up (letting go of power/volume down) when the white text in top corner appears. Again, sometimes the small white text doesn't even appear and when they do, they disappear almost immediately.

If it helps, I installed CWM via the Recovery Installer - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
It shouldn't matter how the CWM was installed.

When the white text appear I usually let go of both the vol down and the power button and immediately push vol up button. Not sure if that will make any different. It's all timing, took a few try for me at first.

[myTouch 4G General] PdtS:
Hi all,

I'm seeing quite a few "farewell MyTouch 4G" topics lately, so here goes my contribution.

Two weeks ago I abandoned my Sensation 4G and bought a MyTouch 4G. I could not be happier. Think I'm crazy? Well, I think people who do the opposite are crazy, and let me explain why.

<A rant>

Sensation annoyed me for several reasons. Mainly – it was huge. "I love my phones like I love my women: smaller than me". I hate stretching my thumb trying to reach out for the notification bar, I hate having a brick in my pocket, I don't watch movies on my phone – I don't need a screen larger than 4". And honestly, I don't think anybody in their senses does. IT'S A PHONE! I hate Samsung and HTC for setting this stupid trend, a "screen race", and I respect Apple for sticking to logic and convenience despite this trend.

I was also annoyed by the battery. Yes, smartphones nowadays hardly survive a day of adequate usage, but at least let me have this day! I don't need those 2 cores in my CPU, I don't play 3D shooters. IT'S A PHONE, goddamit – not a PSP!

And the Sensation's design, it annoyed me as well. The phone wouldn't even lie straight on a table –*it was rolling. A flat back for me, please. Yes, this is personal. And those touch buttons, and a power button god knows where? Screw you!

So yeah, I bought a MT4G instead.

<A praise>

MyTouch 4G, on the other hand, is a great Android phone, one of the last such species. The size is just right. The design is great. It has physical buttons and a trackpad – thank god, I can move a letter or two back easily, or scroll through search suggestions and edit them, just like I could on G1! Whose bright idea was to remove that? And MT4G is just as quick to me as any other modern phone: I don't see any difference, and those benchmarks prove nothing to me. What I do see a difference in though is battery life: simply put, I don't have to CARE about it anymore, it's not sitting in the back of my head – "oh, I gotta switch it to the plane mode", "oh, I gotta grab a charger with me". Such a liberation.

Sensations, Rezounds, Galaxies, Nexuses (Nexii?), RAZRz – all begone until you learn once again, what a phone (A PHONE!) should be. You call THAT "a downgrade"? I'm in for more of those then. MT4G is a great phone. And you – hold on to it, you might not see another one in a while.

[myTouch 4G General] jberg22:
Totally agree with you. The Mytouch 4g is my first smartphone so I never had anything to compare it to, and I've looked at a few of these new "power" phones and the more I see them the more I realize there aren't many phones that I would be happy with coming from the mytouch. It really is a great phone. And all the development that is being done on it only makes it better. I really couldn't ask for a better phone.
[myTouch 4G General] Teo032:
although i have an amaze now and i agree, the mt4g is a beastly single core phone. I loved it's design. But are you serious about reaching for the notification bar? Lol it's less then half an inch bigger vertically than the mt4g unless you have small hands then yes that may be problems for some lol.

However, it's not the screen that's annoying but the overall design of the phone.. Such as the spaces above and below the screen is so God dam wide and useless. It's like half an inch on top and full inch on the bottom.

Btw the dual core actually saves battery life because it uses less energy.

And agreed the speed is not a huge difference especially to those who don't do much with their phones. But i noticed many small things that i like especially the camera.
[myTouch 4G General] Alenamari:

As I said this almost a year ago in this very forum. That MT4G (GSM-US) and TB (CDMA-US) will be last of its kind (SC-2GS) by HTC following DhD (GSM-EU). I got this phone after I lost my HD2-US (Leo1024) while out for a night with GF.

Even when I knew and know the dual core is pushed by the vendors I sticked to MT4G as it was still not out in market when DZ (G2-US) came out in TMoUS. Most of the people here are new and have no clue as they most likely got it free with contract (goodbye no contract plans).

I personally don't give a F about dual or quad core on our phone. As most people don't even understand hardware much less the SoC they own. I had this over a year and ill keep it until the death of TMoUS. When THE Death Star (AT&T) gobble up and make GSM monopoly to at&Tmobile.

[myTouch 4G General] Teo032:
Guys guys, he has a gf! he? or she? can't really determine by your name but anyways.

Totally confused by your second paragraph, what do you mean the vendors pushed dual core phone during the g2 time?? i think the first dual core phone for tmous was g2x? which was in march this year. You're about a half year off. And I believe the phone was only free a couple times around that time too *gs4g release and g2x release. not sure what you mean by new

Oh and you're about 2.5 months late... but the US pulled the plug on the merger.
[myTouch 4G General] PdtS:
Wait… no they didn't. They just questioned it in terms of monopolization and jobs, and now everything is stuck until someone proves and/or pays something to someone. And knowing the power of corporations nowadays, and that this merger is a mutual interest from AT&T and T-Mobile, I'm pretty sure that it will eventually happen one way or another.

A different story is whether it's that bad. Yes, less competition, possibly higher rates, but consider this: our UMTS (and possibly LTE) network will finally become compatible with the rest of the world. Think of how many global phones we'll be able to order from overseas! Isn't it a token in favor of this merger?
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
and think of how much we would have to pay to get that...
[myTouch 4G General] PdtS:
Well, take that MIUI M1 phone for instance: $300-something isn't half bad for such machine, it would cost twice as much in the US easily.
