[Droid X General] HenDroid:
did you tried the programming menu? *228 and activate it from there? I thought you needed to have your droid x ESN added to Metro inventory... am stuck at this point. When I call to activate using *228 it tells me that there was a problem and they need to redirect me to a tech/ I didnt have this problem with my droid milestone... it activated right from the activation screen.

It already was added into inventory, it used to work on Metro and with a ROM that I loaded it is back on Verizon. I followed the guides to get it back on metro and now it sounds like it might be on prepaid metro pcs.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roids333:
I have recently rooted my Fire, and I was wondering, is there any possible way to remove the taskbar at the bottom without installing an entirely new rom? I already have Button Savior installed so that it would still be possible to use the Fire. I'm wondering because it's causing resolution glitches in apps such as NOVA, and is just getting to be a general annoyance.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miro101:
I'm wondering the same, how to get rid of kindle fire softkeys?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdtooke:
I have a Kindle Fire HD myself, just rooted it through the most excellent guide for Qemu auto root....whatever that thing was called. My thanks. My issue is similar. Using Nook Color tools I was able to get Swiftkey3 tablet working pretty flawlessly except for one minor issue. When in landscape swiftkey doesn't know there's a softkey toolbar on the right side so I almost can't use the letter 'p' because half of that key is under the toolbar. It's not really a major problem, mostly a cosmetic thing. My guess would be the only perfect solution to this would involve decompiling swiftkey and editing it so that when it draws itself in landscape mode it takes in mind the presence of the softkey toolbar (or relocates it) and draws accordingly. Anybody know of any way short of that I could get a perfect rendering in landscape mode. I do want to keep the softkey bar, actually. That is my only problem with it.

Just picked up phone to check something out... set it down last night after messing with some new apps one of the ICS builds and noticed its still idling along... 2 days + another one or two to go (estimated).... Final build is going to be amazing ! ( this is 2600 mah battery, standard charging kernel)

[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Too bad you've hardly touched the phone in those 2 days, I can put my 3500mah in my evo charge it and then take it off and not touch it for 6 or 7 days and still have 70%+ battery left from your screen on time looks like you maybe used your phone for an hr or 2 if that the phone only discharges 10-15 mah when idle so on a 2600mah you should easily get 200 - 260 hrs standby unless you have a wakelock

Of course I wasn't using it, it was sitting awake (screen off but OS running), on the desk, with low wifi and cell signal. All facebook, twitter, voice, Gmail, Exchange sync was on, and it beeped the speaker/buzzed on every notification.

[Acer Iconia A500] justinc101011:
Hi all I just got a case crown case and the screen flips to face me when I prop it up on about a 45 degree angle via the case (landscape mode) but when I start an app such as angry birds the screen rotates to the inverse position (landscape facing away from me) is there any way to prevent the tablet from doing this? Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Screen lock button on the top of the tab next to volume rocker? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
WOWEEEE.. YOU ARE Correct.. some games and apps will only work in the defalt landscape mode... I just tested angry birds.. However some games will require you to hold your tablet more upright then ease it down to that position.. By the way that is quite less the 45 deg. more like 22

i think the android Market is the same way .. The lock screen works only on some apps.. The app has to be rotation sensor aware.. Angry birds is NOT . well on my tablet anyway

Hope this is helpfull ...
[Acer Iconia A500] justinc101011:
I have screen lock on and I tried moving it around trying to get it to flip back to how my case it setup but itll only play in normal landscape. :/
[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
Do you maybe have the tablet in the case upside down?

Because most launchers will rotate any way but some apps won't.
[Acer Iconia A500] richierich118:
I vote for this on cause I tried to replicate what the original poster stated and it won't go show upside down unless I have it in the case wrong way.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Ok guys..

dont take this personal but you ARE NOT READING HIS POST CORRECTLY..

he wants to use the tablet upside down.. When you put the tablet in the case then turn it upside down while flipping the cover back.. The tablet stand will hold the case.. at well about 20 to 30 deg.. Thou he states 45 deg a bit off..

when the tablet is in this position the launcher will turn properly.. But when some games and apps are launched .. they are not aware of that rotation sensor.. to test this turn your tablet upside down and Launch say Angry Birds..

this app will only work with the tablet right side up... I noticed this many months ago.. as i sometimes prop my tab on my stearing wheel in my mini van.. upside down... NOT ALL APPS WILL WORK . JUST as not all apps will work in Landscape and portrate mode ..

OP BEST Solution email the developer. and ask if there is any fix or a hack...
[Acer Iconia A500] richierich118:
None taken but this case has a built in stand. That positions it the right way doesn't seem to make sense to use it upside down on with the built in stand. I think something else that we both may not be getting
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Ok I read my post im sorry it sounded a bit overly aggressive..

What im saying is sometimes i turn the lid backwards and tuck in the stand .. then will lay it on a desk or often on my knees while in bed where the tablet is upside down .. the stand works both ways , i think this is what he is doing.. as the 45 deg thing.. Try it with your tablet and you will see what im talking about.. anyway .. The op fled the scene it seems so the point is mute... I would like to know if this is what he is doing or not...

Again sorry did not mean to sound like a Bixxh ...

i JUST Got home from PT( PAINFUL TORTURE ) For my hand and shoulder I so wanna go back to work . then i would not be on here all the time..

XXX gIGGLES
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
i can see where he gets this from take the acer case(have it right here) and on the box it will show the two positions the tablet can be used, one way will turn the tablet up side down in the case and 20-45 ish angle and if u were wanting to play games that angle is better so when u hit the screen it doesnt fall back
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Thanks Brian.. OP Are you here...

Thank you Brian.. and its if you check im betting 22 deg.. or very close.. But most people are not so good with that type of stuff .. My Life long experience with Blue prints.. i guess..
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
no prob, some people here are just to quick to say user error, when indeed its a issue small one at that. locking with the orientation switch would have done nothing
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Some apps will adjust themselves in this situation.. But the app or game as i stated above.. Have to be aware of the rotation sensor.. MANY Games are not . you would have thought turning tablet to that position. Then lock the rotation lock.. But the app is aware of what is top and bottom of the tablet.. Not what is top or bottom of the UI..
[Acer Iconia A500] justinc101011:
hi all just wanted to say i do have the tablet in the case the way the case maker intended. If i put it in the other way all the cutouts for my ports are blocked.
[Acer Iconia A500] haag498:
As said, your apps have to actually be aware they should be running in upside down landscape mode... which most (particularly games) are not. There's no way to fix it yourself (unless the app source is available and you're a dev, that is). So this has nothing at all to do with your case...
[Acer Iconia A500] nstong:
Has nothing to do with the case, as technically you are trying to use the tablet upside down. I too very much like that position and had the same problem.

Orientation lock in the android market is what you want. Costs $1.50 but lets you lock it in "Reverse Landscape" which is what you are looking to do.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bso44:

anyone?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jguidera:
My understanding would be yes. But you would probably also want to download a GPS utility from the market which would tell you what's what.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ph0ton:
WiFi works on the 2.4 and 5 GHz ISM bands. GPS works on 1.6 GHz and 1.2 GHz bands, so WiFi shouldn't interfere, at least in theory. However, I'd also recommend shutting WiFi - at least to make sure that your fix is not based on added WiFi access point location information.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rock18:
My 2yr old daughter dropped the mobile from a height of around 2 feet yesterday.

Initially everything seemed to work fine.I thanked the back case for saving it but After a few minutes,there was a strong pink spot near the top of the display, And then slowly it turned into blue and it spread towards the entire display. Now currenly mobile is completely black..

I can see that its turned on but i could not see anything.:(

So changing the display is the only way out?

I had a lot of phones before,right from N70 to 5800.All these phones took lot of abuse and still working fine. The hype about Gorilla glass made me assume that it would be much much stronger than any other phones i had used so far.But completely disappointed.

My brother recently replaced his SGS1's display after it fell from a 3ft table.Gorilla glass broke.I could not believe it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Gorilla glass has nothing to do with anything. The display has obviously been damaged. You'll need to either return it to Samsung or have a go at replacing the screen yourself (plenty of how to's online).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Gorilla glass is scratch-resistant. It's not scratch-proof, uncrackable or unbreakable.

Still surprises me that people are surprised that bad things can happen to a phone when you drop it.. If I dropped you horizontally from a height of 3 feet, you'd feel it - worse if it was head first;)

Easier said than done, but keep your little girl away from your S2. I gave my boy an old Nokia with stickers and glitter all over it - can't get him off it now;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakeforhire:
Damn, you got pretty unlucky and got one of those ****ty units, it happens more often than we can think.. :/

My first SGS2 didn't even last a night : when I got it and got home, I plugged it into the mains after having almost completely discharged the 40% or so that was left in the stock battery provided with it, turned off the display so it wouldn't take the whole night to charge (I wanted to toy around with it some more, what else ? :p) and when I checked back on it I couldn't even touch it, it was so damn hot that it burned my fingertips and I had to drop it back down on the desk..

I quickly unplugged it, got my infrared thermometer, and in the 5-10 minutes it took me to find this thermometer it had gotten back down to a mere (!) 86°C (measure taken on the camera lens, that's the spot that gets the hottest usually. It has not taken me more than an hour after first unpacking it to notice how hot this unit can get at times, and soon noticed that the camera lens was the weak spot. Not hard to figure out that the CPU was very near to it, and the service manual confirmed that when I got ahold of it), so it had to be at least 100°C when I unplugged it.. :/

And of course when it had cooled back down enough I tried it, but it wouldn't power up, ever again... Luckily, Orange replaced it for free and under 24hrs -but it was some luck that it was completely and irreparably fried (at this time I didn't yet have a jig), because otherwise they'd have seen that I had already rooted it -in the few hours that I had it I had found the time to do this, at the office when I was bored... :D

The replacement unit I got instead never overheated that much (though it too can get pretty hot at times, but that's usually a sign of something going on inside the system, and tells me to check the logcat asap to see what's going on), even though it's a chinese-made unit like the first one, but in the 5 months I've owned it it got its fair share of unvoluntary drop-downs (on a hard tiling floor and usually from 2.5-3ft high, the height of my desk). So far it has survived at least a good 10 falls 'and it's probably closer to 15-20 actually) but it's holding fast, no trouble to mention (except those that I myself cause.. lol Can't count the times I've had to reflash a ROM anymore, just because I fiddled with the wrong setting in root mode :P And of course, Murphy's law helping, that always happens at 2-5AM when I'm fiddling with it before going to sleep, and I have to get downstairs again to get my jig and my flashing gear hooked to the computer and find a suitable stock ROM to start over, sometimes even having to repartition the whole damn contraption, and wasting away the precious few hours of sleep I could've had if I had given up earlier... :D But "****up and error" has always been my usual way of learning :P )...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _AI_:
I've been fretting about this for far too long and I want my question laid to rest for once and for all.

I am running stock 4.0.2 rooted and boot loader unlocked. I want to install the google wallet apk without worrying about it messing up and giving me the secure element error. Can someone please aid a fellow ever-worrying flasher?

And yes, I have a backup to rely on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
There's no guarantees. Essentially to be absolutely safe you need to wait until Google releases something official.

The error occurs after installing another rom with a wipe or after a factory reset. The theory is to make sure to press reset within Google Wallet so that it deletes the info off the Secure Element's memory. This is still just a theory, no guarantee..

You should watch the main thread for the most up to date info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365360
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David Horn:
To add to Royal2000H:

Even if you reset Google Wallet from within the app, it will still re-initialise the secure element. There's an ADB shell command that will reset it properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _AI_:
I know how to use ADB. Can you link the command?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreatBigDog:
You need to download and install the Android SDK (software development kit). The ADB (Android device bridge) drivers and software are included with it. Sorry I don't have a link handy for you, maybe in the morning if someone else hasn't posted one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
He said he does know how to use ADB.

The command is in the thread I linked.

Interesting...I didn't even know there was a problem with google wallet and I installed it on my 4.03 AOKP milestone 1 nova launcher LTE nexus without any problems, just had google pay for my mcdonalds lunch yesterday :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
perhaps make a backup then of your working ROM. cause i believe if you wipe or switch ROMs something happens that resets the NFC hardware and you may lose ability to use it again. i'm not totally sure of the details exactly though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaponeG803:
Thanks for posing the question

I actually, using a link from here, installed Google Wallet and It is working just fine for me but my phone is stock rom and unrooted (LTE Edition), So I'll be paying close attention to this thread because I might decide to root this phone in the future.
[Nexus S General] MO3iusONE:
Hello! I am a Nexus S owner (for the second time now, had it back in the states then sold it before coming to Korea) Picked up an iPhone which I loved but after using Android on my Hp Touchpad, it made me realize how much I missed Android. I was going to pick up a Galaxy Nexus then realized they wanted 850 US dollars so I settled on a used Nexus S for 300,000 won (roughly 250 dollars) Its just like I remembered it, it feels cheap haha but I miss all the widgets and using the GO Keyboard on it is making the transition a lot easier. Also, the apps seemed a lot more polished up, I cant wait for Ice Cream, hopefully they roll the update soon over here. I'll still be bouncing back and forth to the iphone though.

What I really miss is my Droid Pro, anything with a portrait style keyboard is a-okay with me!

I compared my nexus to a 4s and the colors were much more viberant on my phone but they arnt real.

For instance I edited a pic on mine, it was really hard because I was really adjectings the lightinds like a pretty bicth #based, but then I transferred it to my computer. And wow it was off. Didn't even look like what I was working with on my phone.

So yes we have nicer colors. But they are fake. Over saturated.

Im not even going to call it retnia because its LCD and we have olee. But I need higher Res for my line of work.
[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
While waiting for ICS to be released on a google phone my frustration has led me to an iPhone 4S. The screen is much clearer (retina is not bs), the phone is faster, and the battery life is better. I hope ICS is released soon for the Nexus S 9020A or I will end up selling the nexus s. I didn't buy a google phone to wait for updates. I may be impatient, but it's still really annoying.
[Nexus S General] 309041291a:
Where have you been? The official update was already updated a while ago. You are probably going to have to flash a zip manually though cause I've heard there have been issues directly from your phone. If you're going to flash a zip you might as well flash a custom one. They're faster, better, more settings and tweaks, did I say BETTER?!? :p. Go and check some out you won't regret it
[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
I am not rooted and was against flashing a custom rom as I have to wipe my phone and lose everything. Anyway around formatting device but still unlocking and rooting?
[Nexus S General] Shark_On_Land:
What's wrong with wiping? Just back up on your harddruve. I doubt your texts are that important. If so just screenshot using the Android sdk.
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Have a look here, should be able to do a non destructive root on GB. After you do that you can backup all your apps and app data with titanium backup and restore it after unlocking the bootloader. Just remember to copy over any files you need on your sdcard before unlocking the bootloader (particularly the newly created titanium backup folder).

Texts and call logs can be backed up with smsbackup + or the likes. Orr just copy the relevant files with a file explorer on the phone, can't remember exactly where they are though.
[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
I didn't realize you could backup without root. Was trying to wait it out for the OTA as I was scared to flash ics and AT&T radio as I have never before but may give it a shot this weekend. Thanks guys.
