[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theU1991:
what's up everyone, put smooth maximus on my sidekick about a week ago and it's been treating me great.

i've been interested in making the phone ONLY use landscape mode, which is possible through the "orientation control" app for our devices. only thing that annoys me about using this apk is that the lockscreen will still fall into portrait mode, and every time you slide the screen up to access the keyboard the screen 'reloads' itself.

i'm a little bit particular with the way my phone runs, and i'm wondering if there is any way to mod the phone to prevent it from reloading the screen when it slides open and whether it is possible to force the lockscreen into portrait.

thanks in advance for the help guys
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
are you saying that it wont open in landscape even when your holding it that way?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theU1991:
no, it will open in landscape. but the lockscreen is never disabled from portrait mode, and whenever the screen is slid up (even when already in landscape mode) the screen will blink for a second and seemingly reload whatever i'm doing on the phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
That's odd, iv never had that happen with the stock lockscreen, only with lockscreen replacement apps.

sent from my....WAIT THIS ISNT MY PHONE?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Go into settings and enable auto rotation after you have enabled landscape mode lock with Orientation Control.

That will resolve the issue.

This question has been answered previously. Try reading next time.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theU1991:
uhhhh, did you read my post? don't tell me to "try reading" when you don't have a grasp of what i'm asking. when did i say anything about not understanding how to use orientation control? i'm asking questions about the lockscreen and about the phone doing this reloading when the keyboard is opened. step off the high horse and learn to read before pompously telling others to...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
U can't make it only landscape mode who would want that?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
well this phone was made to be nearly always used in landscape.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
Android forces the phone the reload the screen resources with a hinge change. This cannot be changed. Additionally, this can be a source of memory leaks if you write quick and dirty code with globals...

I don't know of any version or mod of the Android OS that does not refresh the screen with a hinge change.

This refresh happens everytime you open and close your device. You only notice it on the lockscreen.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theU1991:
ummmm....... me?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] theU1991:
alright thanks for that info, wasn't sure if there was any code for it to prevent from doing this. guess i'll have to live with it. appreciate it!

[Off-topic] griffincash:
Just wanted to share my story of having a smartphone on a super low budget. I'm a college student so WiFi is literally everywhere. But I do pay $19.99 for 3mpbs internet at my house. I paid 9.99 for an at&t go phone at Walmart. My mother-in-law gave me her old inspire 4g which worked perfectly except the digitizer was cracked. $30 on eBay and I replaced it myself. I have to load $15 at a time every month for 100MB and $15 for minutes even though I don't usually use them. I know, doesn't sound like much but I don't really need much. There is WiFi on campus, restaurants have WiFi, my mom's house has WiFi, WiFi at my job. I have the maps from HTC downloaded for navigation on my sd card, no sense in wasting data, have all my music on my sd, so I don't have to stream music on the road. GrooveIP plus google voice makes calling and text over data and trust me you can text all day long for 100 MB, if you aren't on WiFi you have to keep calls short but I still can let FB and G+ update and not use up my data because im on WiFi about 23 hours in a day in. But for $50/ month I get 3mbps internet at my house and 100MB of data. When I lived on campus WiFi was free so I was paying $30 a month for what felt like unlimited calling, text, and data. Not everyone is gonna have WiFi everywhere they go so this isn't for everyone but I hope this helps someone save some money

Total cost

Phone-Inspire 4g - $30

Sim card + a nice backup phone(ok its crap but whatever) - $10

Initial minutes plan - $15

Initial Data plan - $15

Initial home internet - $20

$90 initial setup cost then $50($30 if you have free WiFi) a month from then on.

Edit: I think I paid like $3 for grooveIP

Its been 3 days now with my new E4GT and im loving looking to root in a week or so.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
why are you going to wait a week or so? why not just do it now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Welcome to the E4GT and welcome to XDA...

Hopefully the reason for waiting is because you never rooted a phone before. If that is the case, as easy at it is to root this phone, reading about everything first is the way to go...

If you do not about rooting and have done it before, no need to wait. It can be done in a matter of minutes.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skarim123:
I use an Incredible 2 on CDMA (Reliance) in India.

Except the China Telecom ROM's v2.13 & v3.06, I haven't come across any other ROM (including this one) which supports specifying APN's in CDMA mode with the option PPP phone number. Consequently, I'm unable to use any other ROM to get data in CDMA mode with OMH sim card.

Is there a way to add this functionality to any ROM (CDMA APN with PPP phone number option and Usage of OMH sim card) by flashing few extra packages along with the rom? :confused:

Example: as we install radio package on evo 4g.;)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJDonnell:
Having a problem with my Dinc screen. The screen colors will suddenly change and look like some retro camera view. At first I noticed it when my batter got low the other day. Now, it's been doing it at random, everyday, no matter the battery life.

Today, it did it and I pushed down on the battery or back of the phone and it stopped. I released the back, and it went back. So I'm thinking its a connectivity issue with the batter and the 4 prongs in the back... if that makes any sense.

I've checked all the connections and there's nothing broken or corroded.

Has anyone had a similar problem or have any recommendations?

I would like to replace it but am waiting for the GNex. Was thinking I could get Verizon to send me a replacement, then get the GNex when it comes out and sell the replacement.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - Tried to post a screen shot of the regular screen and the messed up screen colors, but the screen shot is normal, even thought what I'm seeing is 'psychedelic' colors.

[Atrix 4G General] johnnyutah22:
First let me say this thanks. Besides that let me say this, you should be geting paid for what you do. Not by the manufacturers, but by people like me who benefit from your effort. I understand that a great percentage if not all devs do this work out of the love for game. That's not lost on me, but it seems to me that the more devs you have working on something, the quicker things are released. Here's my proposition: Devs share the knowledge of how to get things done with those who are interested. And I don't mean linking to the android sdk page. We're dumb as **** when it comes to that. If someone would develop a tutorial that was inclusive of the required knowledge, along with shortcuts, cheats and the like, we could have something. There are so many newbs who want to know how to help but just cant. That knowledge is worth money and I'd pay by the hour to learn it from someone with knowledge rather than googling dozens of sights. Give us leadership and we'll give you money, set it up donation style so that those who are serious can participate. Personally, I'd pay 11$/hr for this training up front and I'd bet others would too. You'd also eliminate a lot of needless posts, replacing them with answers. I'll broker the deal for nothing but lets get something going. Maybe just start with the abc's of coding and go from there. Anyway, just a rom lovers's hope to a better community. You could even start a thread like "How I learned to dev" with tutorials and such. You guys know better than I how to start this up. Anyway, post your thoughts on the viability of such a project or whether I 'm pissin' in the wind.

for battery calibration i thought you have to run the battery down from normal use so the phone has an accurate reading of your battery stats (what gets wiped when you calibrate, which is BEFORE you run the battery down). if i have it all wrong someone please correct me, there are so many theories running around about "proper" battery calibrating

I could use some help with the i android install afterward as well. thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chris5s:
You could use the hd2 toolkit from this post. It will wipe your rom (task29 option), install mgldr, then you would be good to go to install recovery and another rom.

I have just been using it, its a great tool. I think this would only apply to nand roms, sd roms maybe do it differently?

Peace

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jdcream123:
If you truly want to go to a "Fresh LEO" download a stock leo winmo rom, change the .exe to .zip find the RUU or something like RUU_signed.nbh ( should be like 270MB in size) and change the name to LEOIMG.NBH and transfer it a 4GB or less microSD card and insert into phone. Start the phone holding the red power button and the volume down button. it should go into the bootloader and flash stock radio/spl/rom and you can start from scratch.

Okay people now I REALLY need your help, okay so I flashed clockwork mod recovery through magldr, and thats working fine, but after doing so, when it tries to boot it says something like failed to load kernel, so I figured that roms toast so I used the option in magldr to "Ad hard reset" because the hd2 toolkits task 29 wipe kept failing as well. So I need help finding a rom that will install from clockwork mod recovery. Im hoping it will take care if my kernel problem. Any links to Cwm roms would be great and thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:

Any CM7 ROM in the NAND Development section really. Typhoon, Hyperdroid, Dorimanx etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chupi_24:
first check the CWM recovery requirements of the ROM(it will say something like CWM 5/120/5) then check your current recovery if its the same. If not you need to download the zip file for the CWM recovery required by the ROM. unzip the file on a computer and run the .exe and follow prompts on the screen(doing this will completely delete the current ROM install on your phones internal memory). Once the correct recovery is flash on your phone, you can flash the ROM itself :)
