[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pastasauce:
I used to have no pin because I like the stock lockscreen and being able to put SMS phone etc in the slide to unlock. Now that aokp has the option for both I use pin and lockscreen. Feels like iPhone lock exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwcorvus:
I use pattern..but not for security reasons at all. I got tired of pocket dialing people.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Pin. When you think of the personal information on a smartphone it is a little scary. I have droidlost installed for added protection, but I'll only use a pin because anything else is just to insecure. Most pattern locks can be guessed by smudges on the screen in just a few attempts. Face unlock can be cracked with a bad facebook pic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kensingtn5:
While face unlock can be hacked with a picture, no one that finds your lost phone is going to know what you look like. I always thought that was an interesting criticism of the face unlock. My friends might be able to hack into my phone, but that's not really who I'm trying to secure it from.

I also used to only use slide, but I have recently become more and more aware of how much information is available to anyone holding my phone. I think identity theft would be pretty easy if I lost it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] njKeever:
Yeah, pin and password are the only two that are very secure, but I just use slide. My mentality is, I'd be much more concerned if someone got ahold of my wallet with all my cash, ids, cards, etc, but I don't put a lock on that. I just keep it with me all the time, same as my phone. I've never lost either and don't plan to! But I do have SeekDroid just in case. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlan96:
Face Unlock, just so that when I get into the homescreen, JuiceDefender has turn on my Data Connection. Oh, and too impress friends too :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amowagou:
Face Unlock.

It is much better than nothing and I don't want to key in the PIN every time the screen is locked.

I never carry my own photo with me other than the one on my driver license which I confirmed would not unlock my phone. So I don't see why people say Face Unlock is useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
I use a pattern, get it wrong and I have a picture of you emailed to me.

I used slide to unlocked before I installed cerberus, might as well use the features.

Sent from Mobile..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Actually it would be very easy to find out. Most lockscreens will splash contact information. If you find my phone you will have my name, work phone number, and multiple email addresses. That is at least three ways to google and find pictures for most people. I would argue that this is the most insecure method possible to lock up your device.

Clicked thanks by mistake but thanks for replying anyway ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
how do you get the phone to send you the pic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I like to use the pattern, but it gets annoying when I'm just sitting at home texting back and forth, as I have to unlock it every single time. I end up turning the security off lol. Sometimes I'm good and turn it back on when I leave the house.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
It's the cerberus app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amowagou:
After enabling Face Unlock, when I touch the power button, I can only see the date, time, and the network name. There is no personal information at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Under security settings click 'Owner info' to turn it on. Shows whatever message you want to the hopefully honest person who finds your phone. Only hitch is that if the phone is plugged in it just says "charging xx%" rather than the message. Don't know if that is a bug or if Google just figured that if your phone is plugged in it is probably not lost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CASz:
I'm using a PIN because I installed unlock with WiFi and it requires it. When I'm on a registered WiFi network I just slide to unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] newtonexus:
also, i feel that pattern unlock can be easily seen & remembered by people standing behind you even from quite a distance, as compared to pin/password lock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
No. I'm ugly enough and don't need to be reminded of it constantly.

Neat trick though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
i wish there is a slide --> pattern unlock. i want the quick camera access and pattern :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
The trick is to backtrack... I love pattern unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
No pin for me or face, just standard slide to unlock.

But lately i been considering a pin after all these years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankdeale:
I use a pin but with a widget that allows me to toggle lock off and on. I only toggle on when the phone is out of my sight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I use pattern + the "wait to lockscreen" option in AOKP with 1minute time out.

This is a nice compromise for me between security and having to enter my pattern everytime (it gets really annoying when you're texting back and forth or listing to music)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shaun671:
I use slide...because it's default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpinsl:
I use the Unlock with WiFi app to have the slide unlock at home and a PIN elsewhere. Also have WiFi@Home installed to turn on WiFi automatically when I am near my home.

Tried face unlock but the processing delay was too annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] movalpolos:
I use pattern and uncheck "make pattern visible". Sometimes face unlock to show off ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomisunrider:
You know you can make the pattern invisible, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsvoboda1107:
I just use slide, no need for a pin right now. Face unlock is like siri, it's fun to try but completely useless in real life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I like face unlock but it has never worked perfectly for me so I've never used it permanently.

I use slide for speed and convenience (and to quickly use camera). Although I'm moving to London this week which makes me think the likelihood of my phone being stolen/lost is going to increase - so I'll probably switch to pattern.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
Did face unlock for awhile just to test it out with pin enabled as back up. It's ok but I went back to stock slide. So much simpler
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I just use Face Unlock because it works pretty well and this way, I don't get friends who constantly try and find out what my pattern/pin is.
[HD2 General] BigBlueEdge:
Hi,

I have a two-year old HD2 that developed a problem with the digitizer (I think that's the part). It occasionally stops responding to touch on the screen which, as you can imagine, is a slight problem. I've found a strong press of the power button tends to re-connect whatever part is loose on the system board, but it is a real problem to live with day to day. I've replaced it with an Amaze 4G. I now have this HD2 sitting around that needs some type of disposition. I hate to send it off to the recycling center since it is mostly good, but I can't sell it as working.

Anyone need an HD2 for parts or some other use that can be done without much touch interaction? Make me an offer if so. It has two working batteries and is in otherwise perfect condition physically.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
First You have to root the phone, and after that install xRecovery, which will allow You to flash new ROM. I won't help You with choosing ROM because I'm X10 user

u need to look into ur phone specific thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
I use my phone as a mp3 player but some songs I like to listen to off of youtube. I can't when I get the song and hit the lock it pauses the song. I don't know if there is a way around this or if it is the rom. I am running darkside everything. 2.4 that is posted. Please help thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sgtmedeiros:
Every phone stops youtube when locked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
My droid stock didn't thats what I use before I got galaxy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] curry67:
Seems like that would waste alot of bandwidth. Why not just download the songs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shehrammajid:
Then that would be a bug in the Droid. All android phones are programmed to stop playing YouTube when locked aas far as I know. (I'm 99% sure)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
Well because i'll by a cd but I never seen the point in just one song. I might just be weird. lol also seens my iphone I don't even know where I could buy music now.

Well guess I was just lucky but thanks for the info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] curry67:
Use torrents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:
The only torrent I ever used was supernova.com or something like that. once that closed out I never found one I trusted to use. Do you know any?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] curry67:
yeah isohunt and piratesbay work pretty good. You can even download single songs just download the torrent for the artists whole album and just select whatever song you like and click off the ones you dont want
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
If u stream music and don't mind the data usage, use food's music streamer from market. U can search and play pretty much any any song u can think of. Tuneun Radio is also good. Both these apps play with screen off/lock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Omnicide:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
First download AnyCut from the Market/Play Store

Then go to Add >Shortcuts > Anycut > Activities > Android keyboard Debug settings > Ok.

Select the created shortcut and enjoy.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rexrbgh:
Nice find!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kxlling:
I'm surprised that hasn't been brought up before. Great find!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Yeah I came across an article looking for a themed version of the stock ics keyboard and found this instead. Which was perfect because I actually enjoy the GB keyboard look. Apparently this menu was accessible in the original ics release from Google but they hid the accessibility through system settings in later releases for some reason.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Doodsz:
Is it possible to add more themes?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe.kerwin:
Anything's possible. These are just the themes that Google built in.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] juggernaut76:
more detail

Noob here. What screen/app am I on/in prior to selecting "Add>Shortcuts..."? I opened Anycut, but didn't have the option to "add".

Thanks in advance!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joshuavibrant:
I believe add means add in the homescreen. Go to the homescreen and press-hold it and the menu appears with add on it. You can also press the menu button of the phone and choose add. :)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shash27:
hi,

My motorola defy[mb525 w\o motoblur] is six months old[so its under warranty].it has android 2.2.2;

The phone is "not rooted" or anyway tampered.

Now the problem i am facing are:

1:both the touch screen and soft keys becomes "touch insensitive" frequently

2:while watching videos in landscape mode, again the touch screen and soft keys becomes "touch insensitive" and sometimes the keyboard just appears and keys gets touch by itself.

I have to each time off\on the power switch to get the touch back

and there is no need of rebooting.

to solve the problem i have done the following

1:format the sd card

2:cleared the cache partition

3:did hard reset.

but the problem is still there.

Is this a software or hardware problem?

Is the problem due to any apps directly installed from sd card?

what should be done to solve it?

appreciate any help
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xinaesthete:
The symptoms you describe sound quite familiar to me (although for me, the behaviour of the phone has been bad enough that I accept this as a lesser problem that I can just about ignore compared to some other aspects).

I believe it is a software problem, or if not then almost certainly not directly a touchscreen problem... What I mean is that I'm pretty sure the sensors of the screen are sending the appropriate signals in a timely fashion, but some aspect of the software is held up (by something that could be related to an underlying hardware problem elsewhere) causing the response of the system to be erratic.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shash27:
Is there a solution to fix it?

or

Should i take it to motorola customer service\repair center???

and i thank you for your input:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xinaesthete:
I'm afraid that I don't know a solution, and my experience of sending it to be repaired is that they are very likely to hold on to it for a few weeks and then send it back with a note that it has been tested and works fine...
[Kindle Fire General] rush242:
Hey All,

OK, this is driving me nuts, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a swarm of Project Gutenberg books. After searching around that interweb dealio, I have Cool Reader, Kindle for Android, and something else on the Fire, but none of them will find or display any type of book (DRM or no). All of which can read .mobi files.

The books are loaded in THREE different places on the Fire: a folder called Books, a folder called Documents, AND in the actual Kindle folder. None of the programs find them.

Moreover, when I have the Fire in USB mode and side loaded the books to those places, I can see them plain as day. But Titanium Backup can't find them, Script Manager can't find them, and ROM Toolbox can't find them, let alone any of the ereaders.

Any thoughts? This is making me nuts, heh.

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire General] Scaplet:
This is the page I got when I Googled, "how to side load books on kindle fire"...

http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39...books-show-up-under-books-on-the-kindle-fire/

The directory that you'll put your mobi books is Android\data\com.amazon.kindle\files. I have to reboot my Kindle after copying files there before they'll show up in the Kindle app.
[Kindle Fire General] rush242:
Tried that.

Thanks for the heads up. I could SWEAR I did that 5 times. I'll check that particular site later and see if there's something I missed or whatnot.

So irritating. And thank you!

EDIT: No dice. Rebooted, everything, none of the readers find anything.

I'm stumped.
[Kindle Fire General] rush242:
[SOLVED]

OK, fixed. After about the fifth reboot for other things, they finally showed up. Criminy.

Either way, it seems it just needed to be rebooted a few times. Never found out why. Scaplet had the location correct.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Soxix:
Hi.

As you know the first Waves phone as the Wave I or II haven't so much RAM and running a game can be hard because of this. I'm forced to close widgets every time I launch Asphalt 6 if I want it to run decently. That's really annoying...

So does anyone have some interesting things to save RAM on bada 2.0 ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lordfarhan40:
Just wait for the FULL and Final release of bada 2.0. these "early" version got some problems like RAM, lockscreen delay, Notification bar lag etc :D jst wait for the final release which in my opinion will be by MAY end (I know my opinion doesnt matter :D)

btw try installin the china firmware its fast :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
But you know that bada 2.0 is now OFFICIAL official public available via Kies.

Or you mean bada 3... :p

With "texture Patch"... :confused:

As it could be, that Android textures are bigger...

Or normal unmodified Asphalt Game?

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Soxix:
The firmware I'm using is the official Italian bada 2.0. For sure the next updates should increase RAM but I don't think that it will be so significant.

I'm using the texture pack given by the official game. But it is the same with other games like the Sims 3 or Tintin (all full official).

Thanks for your quick answers.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lordfarhan40:
I am talking about Final Official Firmwares not Official BETAS he he :-D

btw i tried my best to play asphalt 6 (on LB1) without closing all widgets but failed :-[ try installing Chinese firmware its awesomely fast i used it the only problems because i dont use it are-

1.missing lockscreen to home screen transition though lockscreen is fast

2.mobile tracker dont even asks for a password

3.Filled with stupid apps lol :-D

4.missing menu transitions

Still is a fast firmware so you should try maybe it got better memory management... :-D your luck
[Bada Software and Hacking General] r_22009:
Yes these are official updates but i think official update should not be buggy as we see :D

so its a samsung's trick

you see wave 3 has non of these bugs (like battery problem, ram problem,...)

so thats the real official and FINAL
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Soxix:
Ok, lordfarhan40, I will try the new Chinese firmware once but not now.

I don't have enough time for this.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
:confused:

Are you really sure, S8600 has no bugs ... not the same... :confused:

Please remember.

S8600 have different Hardware... + more RAM

BUT bada 2 is same...

It is impossible to increase physically RAM of S8500 and S8530 to have same ""512 MB"" like S8600 (not sure if really true... single chip or again more then 1 kind of memory...)

We have only 256 MB + 128 MB...

Complete organization is unknown... as 2 different memory Chips... for 2 CPUs...

I don't thing Samsung are magicans and can shrink whole Firmware to 10 MB... :D

On Wave 1/2 we can maybe free few MB.... with some tuning...

But not expect magic things...

At the moment more rumour as confirmed solution...

- Shrink RC1 and CSC... remove Font(s)...

- no Widgets... no background apps... no 2 apps at same time (check Taskmanager)

- maybe Flash Themes are RAM Killer... so choose wisely your Theme...

If RAM "full" restart handset... on/off to have maiximum RAM for apps...

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Soxix:
Yes that's what I was thinking about. I know that flash wallpaper and live widgets take some RAM. I find interesting what you said about reducing CSC and removing fonts but I know it won't be enough but it can save some RAM. Maybe we can try to remove some useless push messages? I don't know if it takes a lot of resources but to my mind the research of weather updates all the times or e-mails or whatever should use a lot of RAM, don't they ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Main problem is we have not found way to compare results... :o

Few Apps show some infos about """RAM"""... "better" about bada memory...

But I think for 3d party apps it is hard to see REAL difference...

For instance...

I have no idea if dynamically or static...

If only static with reserved RAM... it makes no sense to free more in "other partition".

Example.

You have 2 harddrives.

C is full

D is free

All Apps use drive C.

So it makes no sense to optimize D. :D :D :D :D

Maybe we should start again with internal infos... like in internal menu:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10470164&postcount=1

Or log with WinComm... you see some memory infos...

Best Regards
