problem solved

same problem here. thx to another member, i now know how to remove it permanently. when the ad pops up, take note of the game/app that it's advertising. go to market and find its developer. then check and see if you have any of their app/game installed in your phone. just uninstall them and you'll be able to delete the joy folder permanently. and the ad will never pop up again.

the developer that's making these ads in my phone is call LeTang, Inc. i think it's the same for you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] byrd1bo1:
Hey, so I have a HTC G2, unrooted, stock 2.3.4. Currently, the phone has a horrible battery life ( I think ), the SD card wont stay mounted EVER ( i have not gone one whole day with the SD card mounted ), and the Keyboard constantly glitches causing me to have to reboot the phone in order to fix.

The keyboard, when in text entry, would revert to being used for shortcuts. I.E when I am replying to a text, the phone doesnt recognize that I want to use the full keyboard, shortcuts to mail and internet and blah, blah..

Anyways, I've been looking around and am interested in loading a new ROM onto it, with the hopes of that fixing the problems, or at least partially. But i'm new to rooting and I dont want to get a ROM with more issues than im hoping to solve. I see a few that I like, but am wary of just jumping into my phone and digging around like a madman.

I like the 4.0 ROMs but it seems as if all of them have a problem with the Camera, so idk if i want to deal with that. in terms of stability, battery life, and customization, any suggestions,tips, or solutions?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Do follow the wiki to root your phone, that's the only safe way. Its not to hard maybe half hour if your skilled three hours if your way behind. Its pretty straight forward though. As for roms just try miui.us, if your not into that go for the stable cm7. After you try those there are amazing other options for customized roms but stick with the simple stuff if your not to involved in custom roms, good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] otariq:
Btw I've had that keyboard bug in other roms as well. Try to press the search key on the keyboard that seems to fix it. If that doesn't work u can always remove the shortcuts in the settings
[G2 and Desire Z General] shadyx513:
I have the same random issue, funny thing is I have no shortcuts set, they are all removed, Its happened on the stock roms and sense roms, I've just lived with rebooting my phone everytime its happened, but i will try the search key next time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] byrd1bo1:
yeah, I also dont have any of the user-chosen shortcut buttons in use. Im talking about the keyboard acts as if I'm not in an "insert text" area, instead thinking its on the homescreen. where if you press 'C' it will link to some shortcut, and so-on. but I'm gonna try rooting it tonight. I re-formatted my SD card and it hasn't randomly un-mounted since then, I suspect due to the corrupted files my computer found. still having horrible battery life. I generally leave for school around 10-1pm and back around 9pm, the phone is almost always 15% or less by this time, most often less than 5%. all i ever use is bluetooth, and 4g data is on. I kill all the apps, have no music playing, and the phone still dies in my pocket on its own.

gonna try CM7. =D

anything I should know before rooting? i think i have to downgrade my phone first, i see that popping up alot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] buxtahuda:
It is the search key, promise. Something gets a little screwy, be it all our kernels or the keyboard itself.

Same used to happen to me. There are preset shortcuts for the base system, so even though you don't have anything set, hitting the search key + "whatever" (E for Email and such) will take you to certain places. Just tap the search key when it happens and it'll stop.

How come my wifi hotspots speeds are only around 2 mb/s? When I do a speed test on my phone im getting 12mb/s but my laptop connected via hotspot only gets 2 mb/s. Anyone know how to usb tether with the skyrocket on ATT?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah check the box on your phone and plug it in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phairway:
It doesn't work...I am on a mac running os x 10.6.8, i think usb tether only works for PC. I've tried adding the device as a modem in my networking preferences but still not working. Don't know if I have the right settings. I am on ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Oh sorry, I don't use mac so I have no idea how to set that up. Works good on my pc, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phairway:
Ok thanks. Are you getting the same speeds on your PC as you are on your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I haven't speed tested my pc since I got the skyrocket. I am living out of a hotel right now for work.

EDIT: What are you wanting me to test? My wifi phone speed vs. my comp speed on the same wifi network? Or my comp speed while using it tethered to my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
The answer is yes wifi tether will give you slower speeds than the speed on the phone... The same reason direct connection ethernet is faster than wifi

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phairway:
Yea I wanted you to see your computer speed while tether to the phone. However, I was able to find an app called EasyTether and finally got usb tether to work on my mac. I am getting 12mb/s down and 5mb/s up on my laptop using usb tether now!!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] johnwazhere:
tried installing glorious overdose but I tried to wipe data, and it stayed there for about 10min so i pulled out the battery. i tried a second time but without wiping data (i didnt know WTH i was thinking) so it rebooted and was stuck at boot screen saying create new partition and system not avaliable (sumthing like that) so i decided to try odin so i can go back to stock firmware and it finished and now it stays at the bootscreen blinking i tried recovery im stuck.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
before you odin, reinstall the phones drivers on your pc. connect the phone to the pc without the battery, hold the volume down button and the trackpad and reinsert the battery. when you odin, make sure only auto reboot is checked, and put the pit file in the pit slot and the tar file in the pda slot. if you use kies to update firmware, reinstall drivers again before updating.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
You may need to check "Re-Partition" in Odin.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
shouldnt need to repart, in fact it may be a bad idea. every time i odined and accidentally had repart checked, it screwed something up. most recently the stock messaging app didnt work after odin. i have since switched to go sms, but still made sure i had a clean firmware install. i would try odin without repartitioning first and see how that goes. if something is wrong, you can always odin again. the first time i tried to flash a rom i bricked because i flashed cwm through rom manager. the thread where i found the odin file said make sure only auto reboot is checked. besides, if the rom didnt flash correctly, then it didnt convert any partitions anyway.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] musclehead18:
ok i had the same problem for the first time i tried to install a custom rom, theres a way that you can fix it with out odin. follow this steps... i promise it will work.

1)boot into the red cwm voodoo lagfix recovery

2)wipe data/factory reset

3)wipe cache partion

4)after all the steps above are completed, go to apply sdcard:update.zip

the its going to take you to the regular cwm once there follow this steps...

1)install the custom you want to install, but make sure that it doesnt need special mounts and unmounts, so follow the instruction flash the rom and it should fix it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Heimdall worked perfectly when I bricked my phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] johnwazhere:
Thank you!! ^ I was boutta cry when it was Rebooting :D .... Yea I guess I messed something up with odin
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] creid2352:
I tried the method above but ater reboot it stays on the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G boot screen and does nothing else. I'm hesitant and Flash Bootloader but what do you all think?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
flashing bootloader in that package doesn't break it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
My advice is do whatever it takes, and besides, don't worry about breaking something that's already broken, if you know what I mean...

No problem, glad I could help :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
This is my current problem as well, except I have tried checking flash bootloader and have also tried Odin, but all to no avail. Can anyone help me? This is my situation:

I've had my sidekick for about a year now and have gone through the typical problems of a sidekick user. Then yesterday, my sidekick's alarm woke me as normal, but I was unable to turn it off because my touch screen wasn't working. So i battery pulled, restarted, and noticed that the screen stayed on the "T-Mobile Sidekick 4g SAMSUNG" start up screen and did not budge. I tried battery draining, more battery pulling, and nothing worked. So i did a lot of research on here and other websites and decided to use Odin. After initial problems of a newbie, I eventually figured it out and got it to RESET and PASS, but the subsequent reboot only caused my phone to be stuck in the same Sidekick start up screen it has been getting stuck in. Similarly, after many tries, Heimdall has done the same for me. Sorry if that was a long read (also, I hope its cool that i bumped this thread with my own problems), but is there anything else i can do? I'd really like to use my phone again..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
I've been working for hours trying to figure out how to fix it, and I just don't know. The end result is always just the freezing at the t-mobile start up screen..Also, since i forgot to mention, I can only get into download mode with the volume down+trackball method because otherwise it would just go to the regular start up screen and freeze. I don't know if that means anything, but yeah. :confused:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] [bman123]:
Have you used heimdall yet? I bricked my SK4G the other day when flashing a rom and heimdall put it back to stock within 5 minutes of me bricking it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
Thank you for replying. Unfortunately yes, I did. With flash bootloader unchecked and checked. It says it disconnects after everything is done and it restarts, only to become frozen at the start screen again =/. I don't know if there is some silly detail that im missing that makes the flash rather than just restart, but all i can manage to make it do is restart.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
Sigh. Guess im going phone shopping.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
How did u get the phone in dl. Mode
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
I had to plug the phone into my computer without the battery, hold volume and the track ball, then pop the battery in. Any other attempts would simply start it up/freeze it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
Ok did u have heimdall started first?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
And what rom did u last have?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
I'm not entirely sure if I had it started first, so I'll try it that way now. And the last ROM that I had? Honestly not really sure what that means =p, but i've never flashed one and I had the most recent sidekick update installed (though it is possible that I had done a factory reset at some point to fix an error).

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Just tried it. Without flashing bootloaders, it finishes and restarts to my frozen start up screen as normal. However, when i flash bootloaders, it gets to "uploading pit", but the upload fails and it reboots my phone. But this time, it reboots into download mode. A welcome change from my start up screen. Maybe there's hope.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
I would restarted the computer with the program on before turning the sidekick on n do not flash bootloaders
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
Well this is odd. Whenever i power up my phone now, it's in download mode. Except for when I hold down volume up + down and power, then it freezes at the start up.

If so, I'm not sure of what a red/orange cwm is.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Orange is the one u can after usin the all in one cwm thingy by sduvick voodoo (red) is in most roms that enables audio manipulation
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
I see. I watched a video on it. But how would i initially put my phone into usb debugging mode without being able to turn it on?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Umm have the phon plugged into the. Computer with heimdall on then turn it on into dl mode then hit flash
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
I cant, lol. Heimdall just restarts it into download mode after everything is successful and it says "rebooting device..."
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Thats when u pull the device out n restarted it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
As it begins to restart via heimdall, i pull out the device and start it normally on my own?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
Yeah. That. What. I do
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ColinGray:
No luck =/. Tried taking out the battery as well so that it couldnt restart, but when i turn it on, its back to download mode.

I've searched and haven't seen anyone post about this problem so I'm sure I'm looking at restoring everything back to stock and starting over... I'm hopeful though that someone might know where I could look to see about fixing this though and avoiding starting fresh.

I'm running 1.4.0, rooted, OTA. The problem is that whenever I switch orientation the NT's screen doesn't auto rotate for about 5 seconds. If I tap the screen it'll change then too. It doesn't matter what apps are running and still occurs after a reboot. Is there a sensitivity setting for the accelerometer somewhere? Perhaps a system app whose data I should clear?

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
For the record, it seems the latest version of Button Savior is to blame. If I freeze it the problem goes away. This is consistent with the finding of others posting elsewhere and in the reviews in the Market. I haven't tried but people are reporting that turning off the auto hide/swipe to show function fixes it too but I don't want it on my screen the whole time. Does anyone happen to have an APK of the previous version available?
