Anyone know of a way to get SMS vibrations to occur more than once, so like it will vibrate two or three times when I get a text instead of just once?

Use handcent...it allows you to customize vibration length and pattern
[HD7 General] zertux:
Hi,

My phone screen is broken, its all blank, i cant control or see whats going on the device.

I want to restore all my contacts from the phone although i dont have anything synced with my live.com email (checked there and no contacts)

Anyway i can do that ? maybe ssh to the device ? maybe the contacts are stored on the SD memory and i can somehow access and restore them ?

Any help is much appreciated.
[HD7 General] freakboy13:
Try connecting your phone to your pc and see if you can access your internal memory. My HD2 I used total comander and could access everything including my sim I believe can't remember. Total comander works on your pc I believe.lol now I'm not sure, but some kind of file explorer should work otherwise try taking your sim card out and putting it in another phone and see if your contacts are still there. HD7 doesn't utilize my contacts from tmo?

Should be auto synced unless you disengaged it.

Next phone dl lookout .... It's a great app and free. Hope this helps good luck dude.
[HD7 General] zertux:
The Sim did not contain all of my contacts. I will try the total commander and see if i can get anything.
[HD7 General] zertux:
Total Commander did not show my device.

I also followed a tutorial on how to make my phone show in my computer And now i can see my device as portable media player in my computer but i cant access it since the device is locked with a key and the screen is broken.

Any other ideas ? i really need help, i also have a Linux machine if that can provide some other methods you can think of.

As the law now stands, we are able to root our phones without legal interference. However, this liberty is due to a temporary exemption which the government issued in 2010.

[LG Optimus 3D] JTayta:
Okay here is an odd problem I cannot seem to fix. When I go to download an apk from anywhere ether than the market, I get an error... No SD card and 'an SD card is required to download... blah blah. '

... but I have not only the internal SD in my o3d but also a 2gb external card inserted.

Both have plenty of free space and are showing fine in storage option.

This seems to be a recent thing... any ideas?

Tayta the ROM breaker.
[LG Optimus 3D] JTayta:
I should also point out this happens if I use a different SD card too. Have formatted it on the phone.... help.
[LG Optimus 3D] JTayta:
Thought i'd update anyone who might be interested...

I installed rushdroid v3.6 v21b ROM. Problem went away.

Restored my 21a Stock ROM....problem back!? :confused:

Very odd. I have to use my PC to download em at the moment as a work around.

Ah well, bring on the ICS/CM9 ROMS! ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] gonzgeorge:
Download apk´s outside of the market? Within the Rom that´s giving you trouble, have you tried this to fix the no-sdcard message :

1) downloading the apk´s using different browsers (like Opera or Dolphin).

2) doing a full factory reset : settings--privacy--factory reset (you have to backup your data and apps first).
[LG Optimus 3D] Beriaru:
Just enter the browser options and set a location for downloads. It doesn't have any by default and that's the problem.

and try a governor

[Droid 2 Global General] Albinoman:
I wouldn't use milestone overclock. There is a chance of brick. Use quickclock advanced from the market.
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Is there no odds of bricking with this?

Don;t want to buy apps that A) won't get me actually over clocked and b) are going to kill the phone :(

Milestone overclock can brick your phone. But quickclock cannot if you follow the instructions exactly.

read the link I post on milestone overclock, these's a free download

quickclock can auto find how high you can overclock, takes sometime to calibrate
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Since83:
Alright, this might be blasphemous, but I have had my G Nex for under 2 days and I am starting rethink my purchase. The sleep of death has made me late to work twice this week and the battery life is atrocious. I am stock rooted and love the concept of the nexus history and what it stands for. That being said the Razr Maxx came out today and the 3300 battery with minimal thickness changes is quite enticing. I am not too happy about the screen resolution on the max, but 3 to 4 times the battery power might push me over the edge(horrible pun I know, but I had too). I would love to hear your thoughts and concerns. I am within my 14 days to exchange for free.

A couple of questions:

Is the Mxx's bootloader locked?

Am I jumping the gun too soon because of the obvious early ICS bugs?

Can i get the Maxx to clock faster than the G Nex?

Can i root the Maxx to the same level as I could with the G Nex?

Am I missing anything else. It might sound silly, but being that this will likely be my phone for quite some time I am stressing over this decision and would greatly appreciate any feedback from you all. Thank you in advance for any impute into my choice. I will also let you know what choice I make.(I doubt you care, but for those that might, I will keep you int he loop)

Thanks!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tree of Knowledge:
I think you may be jumping the gun a bit too early. If you aren't opposed to putting a rom/kernel on your phone there are plenty of people getting 14+ hours of battery life with 2-3 hours of screen on time, me included. I'm not too sure on whether or not the razr has a better processor, I'm inclined to think not but I'm unsure. I believe it does come locked to begin with as well. Overall I think you'll have a better experience with the Gnex.

[Networking] 4ktvs:
I have used both for more than 30 days and have hi end phones on both. I will be rating calling and data, but mostly data.

Notes: unlimited data for both, 20% off verzion and bills are base 54.99 for AT&T and about 56 for Verzion.

I will start with verzion's pro's and con's:

Pro's:

1)Call's are loud and clear. Never droped one yet. Calling get's 10/10 so far.:D

2) Data:When It is working It's very fast and help's my home internet when it quits on me.

Cons:

1)Data: 3g is way slower than at&t/ 1DL vs 3-6DL and .5UL vs 1UL. 4G LTE has quit working 3-5 times a week and the speed don't AWAYS best h+ on AT&T.

2) Phones: 300 to start and no phone that is as smooth as the SGS2 in web pages.

Now At&t:

Pro's:

1) calling: loud and clear and able to call 911 in more places than verzion. ( I was in a few "dead zones" and on At&T I could still call 911 vs verzion saying no go.

2) Data on 3G is faster than verzions 3g and it shows. It has NEVER cut me off unlike the big red.

Con's:

1) Calling on lower bars it gets bader than verzion does on one bar. I have droped 2 calls in about 120-180 days.

2) Data: It's slower than verzion by a lot, but I just got LTE were I live. ( That does me no good for my GT 9100 that is only H+.)

Ok now for the ponits:

At&t:

Calling 8/10

Data:9.5/10

Speed: 7/10

%of time working:10/10

Verzion:

Calling 10/10

Data over all: 9.5

Speed: 9.7/10

%of time working: 7/10

over all At&T 9/10 and Verzion 9/10

Comments? and who else seem to be on the some boat when comes to what you see form both of them?

Thank you

More notes:

Phones used: Samsung galaxy 2 on At&t/ Droid RAZR on Verzion
[Networking] TechSavvy2:
Hmmmm.......I think you're forgetting a major grading factor. Coverage. I had both. ATT was pretty much worthless 80% of the time unless you were in a major city. Had the same problems with Sprint but at lease big Yellow was honest about it. I've seen ATT coverage map. Really ATT? Who are you fooling?
[Networking] Skv012a:
Hold on, there's life outside of major cities???
[Networking] Longcat14:
Weird, I was travelling a week ago, I had a 3G signal constantly, albeit not as fast as I'm used too (spoiled by LTE), but definitely usable.
[Networking] SevenSe7enSeven:
i havent had issues with either. in general if i was in a location with low reception with AT&T it was the same with Verizon.
[Networking] Longcat14:
Their coverage maps are practically identical, with little differences.
[Networking] I Am Marino:
That's why I laugh when people say their coverages are so different.

The only real difference right now is their respective LTE networks.
[Networking] Longcat14:
If someone says VZW has more LTE coverage, that's totally ****ing obvious, VZW has had LTE up for longer then a year, while AT&T has had it up for, 2 months?

When it comes to their 3G networks, if you placed the maps on top of each other, it's completely the same, other then VZW having a bit more around utah, nevada, places like that.
[Networking] 4ktvs:
If I had graded coverage AT&T would win. I could tell why, but I know the big red is like apple that can do no bad/is like well you know.

Right now my H+ is doing fine with 1080p video from youtube and my razr is stoping every 30-90sec lol. Same vid about some spot, same 3-4 bars.

Edit: All the loading has put the razr about 4min back.

Edit2: now my S2 is at about 21min and the razr about 13min.
[Networking] ngocdao:
Are you sure you DONT have HSPA+ in your area BUT you have LTE?

Because HSPA+ utilizes the SAME towers as 3G.

These ratings sounds about right; esp. since you used a non-iOS device to do your testings
[Networking] 4ktvs:
I have both AT&T and verzion LTE in the city I live in, but my S2 only has h+21mbs.

I don't think I will be geting an iphone any time soon. the os is just as bad as andriod to me. ( Thats right they both suck vs win xp the solid as a rock OS. :D)
[Networking] ngocdao:
Hahaha.. everything has it's flaws. My theory is that.. there isn't one OS superior to another.. the one that aligns with your needs is the one that is superior.
[Networking] 4ktvs:
I think your right and I can't wait for all the iphone fans to read that. LOL

XP SP3 crashed less than any OS I have ever used. (98,2000,vista,7,8,Andorid and IOS v5)
[Networking] ngocdao:
I've given up trying to explain it. Trust me, although I do love iOS for it's ease of use and the huge support avail for it, I KNOW how crappy the OS/Hardware is sometimes.

Let me put it into perspective.

An average day at work:

SIMS changed (Due to burn-out, Initial Troubleshooting for Warranty, etc..)

-iPhones: 40-50

-Androids: 0-1

-Everything Else: 0-1

It also doesn't help that Apple feeds into the minds of it's technology-illiterate zombies that all problems with the iPhone is anyone but theirs. I've even had customers come to request their SIMS changed because "Their iPhone won't sync with iTunes" & that the "Genius" at Apple said that's the reason. (mind you, my reply was invaluable to her because i'm not a "Genius")

:P

PS. sorry for ranting. But yeah, Verizon is AWESOME in rural areas & LTE coverage, but if you so happen to be where civilization is, they're almost identitcally equal.
[Networking] 4ktvs:
That must be a pain sometimes. I did not say in it in the reveiw, but I like At&T better now than I have ever did before. To me verzion=Apple. I will let the viewers of my comment think for them selfs what that meens.

Hi, I'm using ICS stock keyboard cause I find it the most accurate and fast keyboard so far (in my opinion of course).

It has a bit clumsy way to change language but it's ok.

My main problem is it doesn't have Hebrew dictionary in it, and the only way I found to add words is 1 by 1.

Does anyone know of a way to import dictionary or mass add or something ?

and when I press at the keyboard settings on personal dictionary it gives me a choice to choose it, but when I choose it, it's the same as the stock personal dictionary, also add words 1 by 1.

Any other suggestions ? It's funny cause technically it doesn't sounds too complex to just import words to the dictionary, is there any system file I can do it with ?

Google downloads its dictionary files onto the phone from http://www.gstatic.com/android/keyboard/dictionarypack/XX_general.dict (where XX is the corresponding two letter country/language code, e.g. en_general.dict for English), but I either: don't know the proper country/language code or it simply isn't offered.

Bumping this up because I need this too and it's so frustrating how nothing comes up when I try to search for it and I always end up unto this thread. So I finally decided to post. :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underlines:
I tried to build a swiss-german dialect dictionary for the ICS-Keyboard. There is somewhere a guide about th is from CyanogenMod.

The workflow is like that:

1) Get a so called "text corpus" which means: a lot of text from your language from different sources like books, literature, letters, wikipedia, news. For many languages there are already huge text-corpuses. But you can build your own corpus.

2) Then you need to sort this huge text into one file, i use notepad2 or notepad++ to "search & replace" every space with a newline character, then sort this list alphabetically, then count all word occurencies.

3) Then I use excel to come up with a list with the most used words on top, and with lower frequencies top-down, which looks like that:

word - frequency
the - 218192
a - 202912
in - 190231
not - 182931

and so on.

4) Then you must built an XML from that list with the following structure:

<wordlist>
<w f="255">ja</w>
<w f="254">nid</w>
<w f="253">isch</w>
<w f="252">und</w>
<w f="251">so</w>
<w f="250">du</w>
<w f="249">das</w>
...

<w f="1">zwüüsch</w>
<w f="1">zykle</w>
<w f="1">zytte</w>
<w f="1">zyttli</w>
</wordlist>

Notice that the frequency max. is 255 and the min. is 1, so you have to come up with some math to get from your absolute frequencies in the excel-file to the relative frequencies in the XML file. On some how-to guides there are python scripts and stuff like this to automate this, but I preffer excel to do that.

5) So after you finally built your XML you just need the makedict.jar from google to compile a binary file with the extension .dict, which can then be added to the keyboard apk.

Those ar basically the steps, search for some how-to guides to find more accurately explaned steps.
