Im sure most people on this forum would know this, but if its still showing you yesterdays apps, go to settings/applications/manage applications then click on the "all" tab, go down to market and clear cache.

I exited the market app/cleared the ram in the task manager, rebooted the phone but none of that worked to get me the new apps until I cleared the cache.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Oh, I get it... 10 days of 10 apps for 10 cents to celebrate 10^10 downloads.

Google never fails to amuse nerds with little details like that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Flug:
Thanks for posting. Been so busy with work I would have missed this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:

[HTC Amaze 4G] Minker17:
Is there anyway to speed up the time it takes from unlock to homescreen? I'm used to stock Android and when you unlock the Amaze, the homescreen has to rotate in and takes a few seconds. I'm used to unlocking and immediately being at the homescreen.

Anyone know if you can speed this up?

[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
I am very happy with the Launcher that comes with the Atrix 2. Why would I purchase or download a different one?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Preggy:
Ermmmm... Well first off, customisability and... nothing more?

If that launcher fits your needs then keep it :rolleyes:

:D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Coldheat1906:
Just to have more options......

I'm switched but now am back to running stock.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
If ur happy with ur launcher then why are we having this conversation? So confused.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Customizability and tons of more options. With an aftermarket launcher, you can pretty much tweak the look and feel of your device to suit your needs and desires. You can make it look like "your" device. It doesn't hurt anything to install one of the free launchers and try it out. I would actually recommend it. I personally use LauncherPro but ADW and GoLauncher are pretty good choices as well. If they don't suit your needs then there are many other options on the market. If none of them spark your interest then the stock launcher may be your launcher of choice. It's all about options and choices...Take that iPhone guys!!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
I was fine with the stock launcher with one exception...I cannot stand the horizontal page scrolling for the app drawer. If I wanted my phone to behave like an iPhone I would have kept my iPhone.

So I use ADW or Zeam and got the vertical scrolling back. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
In case anyone cared, ADW EX is one of the 10 cent apps on the market today. I typically use Go Launcher, but I'll try out ADW again. Customization is always cool with a launcher.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
Most helpful reply, lilhaiti. I am not familiar with Launchers, new to Android, but quick to learn. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
Sorry if I hijack the thread, but today I installed the ADW Ex and I don't know how to switch back to the original launcher.

Can anyone give me a hand?
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
I have not found a way to switch without uninstalling ADW. There used to be (still is?) a "home switcher" app in the market. I have used it in the past on other phones I've owned. I don't know if that would work on our phones or not.
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
The home switcher app should work. Otherwise, you can go to manage apps from settings, select the launcher and remove default. Once you hit your home button again, it will ask you to select your default again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
D'oh! I totally forgot about the remove default option. Using an iPhone for 7 months made me dumb. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] nahuelarg86:
Thanks for the answers. I went to app manager and under ADW the option "clear defaults" is greyed (not available) and it says "No defaults set".

Edit: I just tried the home switcher app and it doesn't work either, I can "launch" the original launcher but when I put "set as default" the app crashes.

Do you think if I uninstall ADW I would go back to the original launcher?
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
I would assume that uninstalling adw would let you choose the stock launcher the next time you hit your home button.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
This should be true. For some reason with this phone when you install a third party launcher it automatically sets that launcher to default. So by removing ADW you should get the stock launcher back.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
I don't know much about this launcher, but ADWLauncher EX is on sale for $0.10 on the Android Market ONLY today. If you want to try it, tonight is the time to get it.

P.S- There's a useful free tool called "HomeSmack" that lets you toggle between multiple launchers at once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Saelee:
The other day I was at Frys to look at the SR. They had the black one for $139.99. I looked at the tag and it said that they charge an extra $7 for the sim card.

I've been with att for almost forever and I don't think I've ever been charged for the sim card. Is this something new or is this something that Frys is doing?

Lets say I bought the phone and didn't buy the sim card from them, can I still use my old "3g" card and get the LTE speed if I am in a LTE area?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
U have to call at&t if u u do that because you will have no data. They have to know you bought an lte phone or your data will not work at all. Alsoi went to at&t the gave me an lte sim card for free. But i dont think your 3g sim will work at all. Needs to be a 4g sim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] -Kevlar-:
Sim card has no bearing on data type. Just let att know you upgraded to an lte phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tacotino:
Not fully true, you have to get a new sim, they are called "4g" sims. or just you can just say plan sim card. also if you go to an att corp store you can get one for free!

Never go to a authorized retailer tho!!1 they will eff you stuff up!! ha

But you do need to get a new one to get faster internet speeds!

also you don't have to tell AT&t just use the phone for a day then they will send you a text saying, we see you're using a smart phone. to better server you we'll add the internet 2gb plan."

but if you want to start using the internet right away just call
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chouie:
Correct me if important wrong, but i think it matters what sim you have. I was on my old sim card and couldn't get LTE speed. Went to rogers bought an LTE sim...now on LTE speed.

Sent from my SGH-I727R
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Saelee:
So I can put my 3g sim card on it but won't get LTE and just go to the att store and pick up the 4g card for free?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
Oi, people these days...

Call AT&T and have them provision your line correctly, they have to add the LTE data plan for the radio to get LTE access.

It really doesn't matter what SIM you use, as long as they provision it correctly, but it is good to get a new SIM when you get a new phone... so yeah.

Only time you need a new SIM is on Verizon, for their LTE. ^^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jason.hamilton:
You do need a new sim. If you were to plug in an older SIM, you would be able to text and make calls but you would have no data. If you go to an ATT store, they will replace your SIM with the LTE one for no charge, regardless of where you bought the phone. If you buy the phone from ATT they will do it when you get the phone. I have sold 3 skyrockets and none of them had worked with the older sims including my own. I do not know about other carriers and can only speak about ATT phones. I do not know about whether frys has to pay att per activation or for the sim cards, so that may be why they have to charge 7 dollars. If you do not want to pay the 7 dollar frys fee, then get the phone, head to the ATT store, then replace the SIM for free.

Even if ATT provisions the line correctly, the phone will not pick up the non lte sim card. I worked with the ATT sales tech on the day the skyrocket came out. He provisioned the line, plugged in my old sim, and it wouldnt pick up LTE. Then he realized they need to use the brand new stack of SIM cards, set up the new sim, plugged it in and I had blazing fast LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jayrod88:
Very true...

-sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justinfedor:
Att does have 4g sims but they still say 3g. But yes u do need the correct sim to get lte
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lwfb:
There's no such thing as an "LTE SIM Card". Plain and simple.

Normal size SIM cards are SKU 70357. Micro SIM cards are SKU 70290.

That's it folks.

The data plan is what has to be changed. For example, I took the SIM out of my Inspire and put it in my Skyrocket demo and got no data until I manually changed the IMEI to the Skyrocket.

Same SIM card, but a new data plan.

Oh, SIM cards are actually $25 and $35 for micro SIMs. Agents and ARs can charge if they want. COR stores shouldn't charge you, however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bimbot:
Since we're on the topic of SIM cards and the data plans they use, I've got a couple questions I'm hoping you guys can answer:

I have an iPhone 4s which has my grandfathered unlimited plan. When I throw my 4s SIM into my skyrocket, I get 3g speeds (have to play with APN settings). Now, I don't have LTE in my area yet but with all this news of LTE springing up, I'm thinking it's coming soon. Here's what I want to do. I want to be able to switch from 4s to skyrocket freely without having to contact ATT everytime.

My questions:

1) Should I move my skyrocket to my main line to get a new sim to get LTE then cut it so it fits my 4s too?

2) Will the SIM work correctly in my 4s after changing to the LTE data plan?

3) Can I call att and have them switch my plan to LTE using the current microsim?

4) Will the 4s SIM and all the functionality work after making the change?

I'm hoping someone went through this already so I can get good advice. I may just have to be the guinea pig if not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sirgatory:
I don't know about you guys, but I am pretty sure my iphone 4s's micro sim isn't an lte sim card, and it works perfectly fine as long as it's positioned correctly.

For data, all you have to do is configure the media net apn :D

Edit: missed the guy's post above me, whoops!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blackberrynomore:
I just got a Skyrocket today and I swapped my Infuse simple into it and it has been working perfectly. I am not in an LTE enabled area but the next time in am down in Manhattan I will test the speed.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakerx:
First, I'm sorry if this was posted before, but I couldn't find it. So here we go.

In front of me I have a friends Verizon Fascinate, it was stock rooted to the update prior to the GB launch [I know because I did it]. Now the issue lies with this:

The only button that works is Home, and all that does is hides/shows the menu system.

Is there any way to get out of this mode without losing anything on the phone [kind of a last resort].

I did have to restore, but I got lucky, I tried to see if forcing CWM back on [through odin] before restoring the phone may be a fix [go and try to clear the caches] but didn't fix it, but I did get to back it up from there [contacts were saved, but that is a different story].

I restored via Droidstyle's guide, and all went ok, but now I seem to have a "broken" root. SU gives me this error "checking md5sum... fail!". I tried following the instructions on the SU webpage, and still get that error. Anyone have any luck.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
section 5 will get your root back or just flash a custom rom...

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
OK at what point are you getting the errors from section 5?

Can you boot into CWM?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mermaidkiller:
Until today I used GPS Mock in combination with the Bluetooth GPS app successfully.

Also Location Mock is enabled, internal GPS (which never worked) disabled. I did not change or update any apps.

The BT device is a Qstarz Platinum device which works correctly. I tried it with another BT device which read the coordinated correctly.

So something has changed some (hidden) settings .

I rebooted, reinstalled the BT GPS app, re-paired the BT GPS nothing helps.

Any ideas ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pig Vomit:
Anyone else notice that the specs listed on NewEgg's Nexus page shows "4G - LTE 700" in addition to the GSM and UMTS bands? Typo? Any significance? Am I a clueless noob?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176322
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radi0chik:
That's very interesting. I just posted a thread (before I saw this one) asking if there was a list of regions and freqs/bands for each of these phones. I saw some of them DID do 700MhZ LTE, and was wondering which one(s) those were.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
I think it's a typo, but I could be wrong. Just seems weird that the phone they're selling has 16GB storage and 1750mAh battery which are classic indications of the GSM version. The Verizon/LTE version has 32GB and 1850mAh according to Google's spec page but theirs is also a different model number, SCH-i515. The only specs on Google's Nexus pages showing LTE are for Verizon/US at the moment. All the other sites only have HSPA+. I thought LTE 700 was only a North American frequency though, so I wonder why they would say region specific? According to engadget, they seem to think that the AT&T rumored Nexus to reach the FCC was not pentaband nor LTE either and just their frequency of 3G/HSPA+.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Most of the spec sheets list all the bands then say (where available) next to the 700 Mhz LTE band.. it's a typo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radi0chik:
In reading about the Galaxy Note, I saw somewhere that the Korean version of the note may be the same frequency of LTE that AT&T is in the USA. So maybe there's a Korean version of the nexus that has LTE? I'm still trying to find a spec sheet that has all versions/model numbers, etc on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0080:
So far the Google Korean site only lists the HSPA+ version.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ClippinWings:

not nearly as bad as the Nitro, but it does get quite warm.

It's worse if you're charging while using it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Mine only gets realy hot on the net like when downloading or when its trying to connect it the server and having tower issues and it keeps loading and loading is when I've seen it hit the 109 mark .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Apatche69:
Yep, mine flat out quit on me and reboot itself it got so hot. I was listening to music and surfing the web at the same time for about 20 min. I felt it getting warm but figured it wouldn't be a big deal but it was. Multi tasking while charging with WiFi on is by far the worst though. I have to pace myself now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
Yep, same here. And the rebooting thing is anoying. I need to leave the phone alone with battery out to cold it out and then I can return to use it. I think this is somehow related to kernel.

I got one of those SaFPWR Fusion 2 cases with mine, with the 18,000milliAmp extra battery built in.

Unless plans change I'm going for the Samsung Galaxy W, it's pretty and not too big. It's got a 1,4GHz Snapdragon with an Adreno 205 and comes preloaded with GB 2.3.5.

I REALLY REALLY wanted a Nexus S, but my wallet can't afford it. Damn things are priced at 250€ even second-hand.

From next week onwards I should stop coming to these forums since I'm giving the Xmas present this Friday. I'll keep rooting for everyone here though :P

I'll keep searching for a decent priced Nexus S or even a SE Neo, but I really don't get my hope up, and I can get the Galaxy W for 105€ w/ contract.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] franciscofranco:
Nexus S is just the perfect choice. That Samsung W is good...ish... Samsung will forget about that phone and I don't think it will have many community support. The CPU is fine, but the GPU kinda sucks compared with PowerSGX 540 from the Nexus S, and the Nexus has the best single core in the market. Screen size is lower too... Well if you can go for the NS, you an use my kernels as well, they are pretty popular.
