[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottlam1:
i have been wondering from a moral stand point if android is derived from linux which is open source. how can the leading phone tablet makers lock their bootloaders their sdk software where you have to be approved to develop software for said systems. are they exempt because they make those sub systems.

so im wondering is it unethical for them to take something meant to be free and put a price tag. or for another matter why cant they make a blank phone like a blank pc where yoy can choose to pay for an android os or a windows phone os like you can with a pc with windows linux unix etc thank you for your time
[HTC Inspire 4G] stubey:
Okay so I'm using current widget and let it charge past 100% until the widget displays 0mA. I calibrate the battery after every charge with battery calibrator. My question is will I always have to "overcharge" my battery to reach full 100% ? Or is there a way to permanently calibrate the battery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
If you're not flashing a new rom daily, one calibration should be all you need.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stubey:
It doesn't work correctly I guess. My phone tells me 100%, but current widget says I have more charging to do. The only difference I see from calibrating is that the battery usage stats are erased and reset. It doesn't actually calibrate the battery. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
If you wipe stats one time @ full charge, then use the device normally and charge when needed, the OS learns the usage patterns to correctly display percentage of battery left.

I wouldn't be so concerned w/what Current Widget says unless you're getting massive drain when the screen is off and the phone should be in a deep sleep.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stubey:
Ok thanks. I won't rely so heavily on current widget then.

[General Questions and Answers] shortstone:
I have come to the experts because with all the sales that are appearing I need some direction in order to make the wisest choice. I need two tablets (I will not buy from that fruit company) and can't go buying a bunch of different devices to try. I mainly intend to use a tablet as an Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device for my autistic sons. Most of the APPS for what I am trying to do use smallish mostly cartoon-like (but sometimes real pics of things) icons that turn a touch choice into speech. Screen resolution does not have to be the greatest but don't want fuzzy either. Reaction to touch is important (don't want something that one touch does a bunch of repeating or selects the wrong thing). Sound is important as the whole purpose is for them to communicate with others. Durability would be great but is not in my top requirements as no device my boys have had has been autism-proof. I'm looking for functional, inexpensive, and replaceable. I tried a cheap Sylvania but it didn't do so well on touch screen and sound. I did like the 7" screen size compared to my Vizio VTAB 8" (an inch really makes a difference on holding comfort and portability). One sale that stood out is the Dell Streak 7 is going to be 159.99 online from Best Buy for Black Friday. So what say you?

I thank you for any insight you can give me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tonybrannon:
I am new to Android, still got my iphone 3GS as a backup. One reason for switching was to be able to watch flash video, the problem I have is because apps and services never seem to close, no matter what I try, video too slow to play with everything else running.

Is it possible to stop services on the Galaxy Note so they don't restart automatically, unless I want them to? I have tried several killer apps, but does not really do it. Why is not possible to only run one app and service at a time or why I want?

Help!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cadavar:
There are some apps and services which restart upon closing manually. The only way to have them remain closed is by freezing them or uninstalling them. You have to first root your phone and then install Titanium Backup. In there you will have to either uninstall the apps/services or freeze them. It also works on stock apps which came pre-installed on the phone. Just be careful not to uninstall any apps which are part of the O/S.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] yappoe:
you need to root your phone, and rum a root level app manager.

This method worked on my Galaxy Note:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830969

once you rooted, install titanium backup. To back up all you apps. If you are willing to pay, this app will let you freeze apps not to run in the background as well.

Or install gemini apps manager, it allows you to change the autostart, block, and uninstall any apps you want.

Just becareful not to block or uninstall importNt system apps.They are addictive because you feel powerful and in control.

My Sprint number is "integrated" with Google Voice, but lately all of my incoming calls get dropped after 30:01-30:06. It doesn't happen if I call out, but happens like clockwork every single time I am on a call that was incoming.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I just want to say kudos for being able to talk with someone for over 30+mins. I get tired of talking with people after 10. Lol.

[HTC EVO 3D] caguy83:
Yup, same here. Glad to know I am not the only one.

I am starting to wonder if Google might abandon Google Voice with all the ongoing bugs that still aren't being addressed. That would be highly disappointing.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I don't understand how they've let an issue like this go on for so long. It's been almost a month I've been having this problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] caguy83:
I wouldn't hold your breath. In addition to this issue, I have been hearing random key presses for 8 months or so -- and it's a known issue.

I have just learned to deal with the issues as I like the concept of the service -- the ability to text/call from multiple devices on one number as well as not having to back up my texts.

But I do agree, I hope they get their act together.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Same here! I always wondered where the random key presses came from. Now I know.

Why Otterbox

Quick question, but why Otterbox?

Good quality case, or thinnest? Does it work with the verizon sold window mount?

(Not trolling, I just don't know.)
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
Good looking case that is a solid build. It is definately not the thinnest case though. I don't think that it would work with the window mount.
[HTC Rezound] Xsoldier2000:
Wondering if anyone has tried it yet? I know the high gloss Silicon case fits in the car mount (as the mount comes with inserts to allow either an extended battery, or a reg. battery, with case... to fit.)

Anyone?
[HTC Rezound] Wobblin30:
I've been using the case for about a day now and might just keep the black tpu one from Verizon. In hand, the case feels great and I like how the ports have flaps to keep junk from getting inside. The only downside I've found is the silicone attracts a ridiculous amount of lint. Took it out of my jacket pocket this morning and it practically needed to be wiped down with a damp cloth. I'll be damned if I am going to carry around wet naps to keep this thing clean :mad:
[HTC Rezound] reverepats:
Jesus Christ doesn't that bother The hell out you? It drives me crazy LOL. I'm in construction so I keep my phone in a sandwich baggy at all times in work, while its in my pocket. But as soon as I take it outta the bag and put it in my pocket, you can forget it. It becomes a frikken mess. Bit its not too bad. I liked the one for my EVO 3D better. Ohh well, that's life I guess

Otterbox commuter case

got it on Ebay for 22.95 + Free Shipping :D
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Nope. I just got mine and tried it with the "iBolt" car mount made for the RZD and it does not fit properly. It isn't a matter of overall size - it's the fact that Otterbox cases usually, as in the case of the RZD cases, have a plug/flap over the USB connector. Unless you can live with cutting it off, you can't fit the Commuter case in the dock because the flap is in the way, open or closed.
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
Please carry around Wet Naps. I have stock in the company. Help a brother out!! :D

[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Visually, yes it does look pretty cool and would do a good job protecting the phone in case of a drop, however, the plastic is VERY slick. I've almost dropped the phone because of the backing plate of the case.

I guess I'll just keep this one until the Seidio Surface comes out and sell this Otterbox. :(
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just got mine today and feel exactly the same way. The plastic back makes it kind of slick in the hand. Does OK in the pocket.

Plus it does not fit in my cup holder stand.

I do like the screen save though. Comes close to covering the entire screen.
[HTC Rezound] msjohnson2868:
Yes, it works with the window mount. Just got mine today and works like a charm.

The Otterbox Commuter is great! I wish they made a belt clip for it like the seidio one...but since I came from a droid x, the seidio clip from the X fits the Commuter case perfectly. :)

Just receive my otterbox commuter case ,and I must say I'm am quite pleased. Fits in my phone holster and its not bulky. Love it.
[HTC Rezound] mustbepbs:
Anybody use the defender case? Is the screen protector supposed to be raised? Does it eventually go down? It's pretty annoying. Also, any tips for the ugly water marks? It looks like the screen is all oily. I might just rip it off and use the Skinomi I bought.

Also anyone notice that it covers the back 2 microphone holes?
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Those holes are part of the antennas integrated into the battery cover. Blocking them has no effect on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] mustbepbs:
I wound up taking off the Otterbox Defender screen protector and put on my own Skinomi Techskin, and boy am I glad I did. I used goo gone to take off the glue left over on the Otterbox, and now this is the ultimate case. Props to Skinomi, this screen protector rocks.
[HTC Rezound] computerfreek:
Try some pledge future polish on the silicone and see if that helps with the lint I had a case for my eris that was just like that I used a bit of pledge future polish and it went away.
[HTC Rezound] designerfx:
ooo, maybe I'll do that. so that's all you did, remove the screen protector thing and replace it with the skinomi?

I'm immediately not digging the raised screen.
[HTC Rezound] gbmitchell:
Anyone want to buy my commuter. It is not just for me. I never applied the screen protector and used it for 2 days. It's in perfect condition.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Careful, those protectors have a habit of causing scratches on the screen. Dust gets in between the two and it scratches over time. I would use a traditional static screen protector.
[HTC Rezound] mustbepbs:
Yep. It was very simple and no cutting tools involved. Just hold on to the end of the shell and push from the other side. Once the glue gives it comes off easy.
[HTC Rezound] birddog79:
So I got the otterbox defender series. I had it for my TB also and I love this one more. For those worried about the flush buttons for volume and power, don't, this case make them so much better. I also vet rid of the screen protector that comes with it. I use zagg screen protectors but to each their own.

Hello~!

My phone is Verizon Droid incredible, and it was just upgrade to gingerbread.

But, I have too little phone memory now.

So, I want to increase my phone memory from my internal storage (eMMC).

How can I expend my phone memory from my eMMC memory? :confused:

My Android version is 2.3.4 and baseband is 2.15.10.07.07.

Also, it is not root yet.

Thanks~!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
If your asking if you can use the emmc storage space as space for your apps the answer is no.

I assume you are getting the low space warrning in your notification bar. This is caused when the /data/data partition becomes full. You can either move apps to sd, use link2sd, or you can try jermaine and tiny's ext4_no_data_imit mod. The first 2 can be used without rooting, the ext4 mod needs root but in my opinion is the best option.
[GT540 Optimus General] delsus:
Before I say anything, I know this is probably in the wrong place, but it wouldnt let me post in the development forums because of my low post count, I also know this ROM is in a pre-alpha stage and will have many broken features and bugs, this is not what I am asking about.

I just want to know if anyone knows how big the ROM is, I want to try it out to see what it could be like, the download is 167MB, but is that how big the installed rom is? I have resized partitions in my flash memory, therefore if its bigger than 150MB I will need to resize again.

Also (I know basic question) will I still beable to boot to CWM to restore a nandroid backup of Swiftdroid? I know that atleast Wifi and GSM dont work, as long as the info on Mike's web page is up to date, this alone will mean I will need to roll back after I have had a look around, so a nandroid backup will be the best way.

I only ask the last question because I have only used swiftdroid so I need to make sure.
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
