IMHO it does not matter who is pulling back on bootloader unlock AT&T or HTC...Bottom line is we are not getting any unlock. I guess we should just let this forum fall into category of " Legacy & Low Activity Devices "...

As frustrating as it may be without bootloader unlock and root, Vivid is solid device with extraordinary good performance in all aspects, OS, camera, GPS, network speed, battery life...I am just missing my custom Nokia font ... :o
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kiddchris:
Would it be a strategy to get Bell in Canada on the case for this with HTC?

forgive my question if naive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CrispyCritter:
I tried searching the forums to see if my question was already answered on this, but I couldn't find any that directly answered me, so here goes:

How does one go about changing what shorctus are in the bottom bar; where there are the 4 seemingly permanent shorcuts (Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications)? (or is this at all possible?)

Specifically, I'd love to be able to change the "Messaging" shortcut to be Handcent, my texting app of choice.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
Open Applications.

Hit Menu Key (bottom left).

Select Edit.

Drag stuff on and off of the launcher bar at the bottom.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
oke a couple of questions,sins im getting the GN this Saturday.

i know that USB OTG is disabled by default unless you get a kernel that turns on the option.

but is the USB OTG also working with USB flash drives and external HHD's(when unlocked/turned on) if so, whats the best kernel/mod i should use. and i dont care if i need to command mount it in the terminal app.

second question,

there was a report on ICS that ICS will have build in screenshot buton combo or some sort.

is it really there? does it work by default,or is it yet another kenrel option?

and does any one have an example screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
nobody?isnt there anyone that can answer it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SilentMobius:
USB OTG will be enabled with an update, this has been confirmed on g+ by a googler. In the meantime I use the latest MCR rom from modaco.com and USB OTG works fine

Hold down voldown+power

Hah! that's the first time I've noticed that the USB debugging icon is a little ICSDroid

Which is answered by Jean-Baptiste Queru here:

https://twitter.com/#!/jbqueru/status/144060066184691712

This is probably less about USB OTG host mode as a feature and more about how ICS handles auto-mounting storage attached to it hence the "host mode experience" isn't 100% yet, even though host mode and HID work fine with the right kernel.

What is the easiest process to do this... I don't care if I have to do a factory reset or anything like that.

Should I even consider rooting if all I want it for is the Free Hotspot?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Sorry if this has been answered, I've searched around but cannot find anything of the sort (if I am not searching hard enough, I apologise in advance.)

So I've been using the Galaxy Nexus hardcore for a while and I'm impressed by everything. Battery life is highly impressive and the screen is brilliant. The ONLY problem I'm having is that sometimes I get an SMS and the contact name does not come up, which is annoying as I then have to reply "Whose number is this" blah blah.

Anyway, the number is saved on my phone, but when the Contact Name is not displayed the number is +44xxxx xxxxx and I have the option to add that number, so it seems the phone is not recognizing that +44 number? Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? It's getting a bit annoying with the Contact Name not coming up. If I reboot the phone the Contact Name is displayed on the conversation again :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Ok so this is happening in the call log too. The number is showing but not the contact, but it only happens for a few of them and only sometimes. Anything i could do or steps I could try to get them to show up? Quite annoying not knowing who is who.

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcarson112:
I have searched on here for the last 20 minutes so I hope I didn't just miss something.

Anyways, onto the problem I am having... I'm currently running UnNamed 1.3.1 and last night before I went to sleep the phone got really warm. I went to place it on the night stand and missed resulting in the phone taking a minor fall ~2ft. Everything was in working order so I placed in back on the stand and went to sleep.

At some point during the night the phone died on me causing me to miss work today. Now I'm trying to charge it but all it is doing is showing the depleted battery icon for about 2 seconds and then going to a black screen and repeating. Have any of you guys heard of this issue? Is it just a defunct battery?

Thanks for the help in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
This sometimes happens with a severely depleted battery - after a bunch of cycles like that it SHOULD eventually stay on I think.

Otherwise you may need to give the battery just a little "juice" with a standalone charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcarson112:
Thanks I'll keep trying, was having a minor crisis when I woke up 2 hours late to work today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1337WRX:
I had this same issue when my battery died severely. Woke up with the phone cycling, like you mentioned and it was extremely warm.

The problem you are having is that UnNamed is running a kernal that automatically boots up the phone if it is off when you plug it in. This, combined with the fact that android turns your phone off automatically when the battery is too low, is putting you into a battery bootloop.

I just went into the AT&T store, and they swapped out my battery for free. Just don't let your phone get too low before charging it.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcarson112:
It's finally started taking charge thank goodness.

Anyone gave an idea as to why my battery tanked so hard. I exited out of all apps and had it plugged in through the night.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Did you put a different kernel on it? I know certain kernels cause the phone to lock into 1200MHz while charging. At that rate the phone would die even plugged in, like you saw on that battery graph. Zedomax kernel did that to my phone. None of entropy512's did that to me, but if you used a different kernel than what gtg packed it with that might be it.

Look for BetterBatteryStats, it will tell you what apps are preventing your phone from going into deep sleep. If its an app causing that issue BBS will tell you which one. It costs money in the android market, but there is free version for xda members in the android app forum.

it won't work with encryption on, open access is fine.

security only have two option: open or WPA2PSK.

any one have some issue, any fix?

is it due to rom problem or root problem?

any idea why some device is not working? due to lack of tether plan?

for root phone, if just copy other tether apk to it, will it work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Mine is rooted and tethering manager removed just like yours.

The problem is probably with your other devices that try to use the wi-fi hotspot. They are not compatible with your phone. Do they all support the WPA2 PSK encrytion? I'm not sure if the phone is using WPA2 AES encryption or WPA2 TKIP encryption.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Flo95:

Hello guys..i bought a RAZR XT910 before about 3 weeks and i didnt notice any problems with it at all..its battery life the way i organised it with smart actions is very very good, better than my iphone 4...i have as well those black marks on the screen on low lighting and black pictures but i dont mind this either..as u can almost never see it...my problem is my weak wifi signal..i never noticed it those last 20 days as i have been working on my phone mostly on my computer desk so the phone was next to the router..the only place my phone gets 4/4 in wifi signal its when its next to the router..at 1 meter distance the signal gets 3/4 strength..at 5 meters 2/4 strength and at 10 meters the signal its lost..and this is only when im at the same room that has the router..if i go to another room the signal gets lost..especially when i close the door...i never had any wifi problem with my previous smartphones and i even had wifi outside of my house...please help me here..im quite desperate..what shall i do? return it and demand a replacement? ask for my money back? is there any way to fix this?

Bluetooth is off and I have tried several WiFi analysers from the market, all show a very weak signal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomoooo:
Hi

On mine, yes the wifi signal (bars) are showing less then with htc desire, but I can connect without problems even the router is on the second floor and I am siting on the first, so reachable from the whole house.

I do experience, that it takes a little bit longer to find the wifi as with the desire, but once connected, works just fine.

I do not experience problems with hidden networks. Mine is not broadcasting the id, still connection is stable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:

Just rooted and installed this ROM. So far so good. But I see it includes BT 3, which is a step up from the BT 2.1 that was on the stock ROM I had before. Is there a list somewhere of which BT profiles this supports? I can't seem to find one, there doesn't seem to be any way of getting this from 'settings' and I can't find an app/utility that is able to list them.

Anyone know? Or at least how I can search for them?

[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-rezound-s/7631.htm

Looks like Seidio is finally developing cases for the Rezound. First up is the surface, I can't wait for the active line.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Yup! I had the Surface on both mine and my gf's Incredibles that worked great. I can't wait for this case.

I tried to chat with a Seidio rep yesterday to find out when they would releasing (like early 2012, etc.) and she couldn't provide any kind of timeline. She did say I could sign up to receive a notification but I'm not really trying to do all that.
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
I used to love their other cases on my g 1, specially with the holster. I know it took forever for them to come out on the droid x, hopefully this doesn't take as long.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I was initially pissed that they didn't make one for the Desire when I had it until recently so I went with otterbox on that phone when I got it since it was the only good case out for it. Now I am glad because otterbox makes a much better product than the seidios on my blackberries.
[HTC Rezound] Kane5581:
I got a $6 tpu case on ebay and its great, why spend the money?
[HTC Rezound] Argent36:
loved the case on my Incredible - been waiting for one for the Rezound - this time I'll get the holster for it too
[HTC Rezound] IXIKelsonIXI:
The TPU cases are great, but don't provide the same level of protection as something like the Seidio Active. One big thing I am looking forward to in the Active is how the gel layer makes it easier to press the volume/power buttons since there are little rubber bumpers inside. Whereas the TPU cases make it nearly impossible to press the buttons.

I have a TPU case too, but for me, the only peace of mind it offers is knowing I can set it down without on a surface without worrying about damaging the casing. I would NOT anticipate a TPU case to protect from a bad drop. Not enough protection for adequate shock absorption.

And as a personal thing, I think the Active makes the phone look better, and also makes it feel better in hand. Burgundy Active case on this device will fit really well, since it is red/black, which is the theme of the device. So yeah, that is why I buy the Active. Greater peace of mind, device functionality, feel, and look.
[HTC Rezound] stilger:
I have a TPU case on my Inspire (which is a pretty well constructed phone). I had it in my camp chair cup holder which I folded up when I was leaving. When I swung the chair into the car the Inspire must have came out. I backed out over the Inspire (Tire tracks on the back of the TPU case). When i realized it and went back for the Inspire it was face down and the screen protector was scratched from the gravel, the volume button was broke (but still worked), and a couple very small marks on the edge of the frame around the screen where the only problems. Pulled the screen protector and everything works fine.

I now have a Otterbox Commuter on my Rezound. I guess I dont know the point of the story other then the Inspire seems to be better built then the Rezound. I'm not sure it could survive getting run over with my Otterbox let alone a TPU case.
