[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skifellows:
I have a stock, non-rooted G2, running GB 2.3.4, which I love. The only complaint I have is that the home screen often takes a while to refresh when coming back from another app, or even when turning on.

I'm using the stock launcher, I have seven screens, and 8 or 9 widgets that need to refresh. It doesn't seem to matter whether I've recently cleared my cache or not, or whether I have animations on or not.

Similar threads from other phones suggest there may be settings somewhere to improve this performance, although I probably don't have that app loaded... Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
You're close to maxed out on home screens and widgets so it's expected to have a lag when coming out of an app. The stock launcher *may* have some tweaks (it's been a while since I've used it) but most third party launchers have a "keep home screen in memory" setting which speeds up coming out of an app and back to the launcher.

Really though, I'd suggest trying to slim things down a bit. I know it's fun and all to have widgets for everything and apps sorted into home screens but there comes a point where it becomes faster to do things "the old fashioned way" than to have widgets and screens lagging to do it for you.

For example, I have three screens; my main one (clock/weather widget), my most used apps (phone, mail, messages, voicemail) and my camera/video camera, another screen for social apps and another for note apps and daily utilities. I also hide all the apps I don't actually lauch manually (URL shorteners and other "share to" type apps).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I just told you? What's unclear and why are you going on about root?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
In the 'Phone contact messaging and application', click on the application icon.

press the 'menu/options' button - this is the left of the 3 buttons at the bottom of the phone. this will pop-up a menu. Select 'Edit' from this menu.

You can now move all the icons about. You can move icons from page to page and also from the page to the 'Phone contact messaging and application'.

Once you have changed it to the way you want it, select the 'menu/options' button and select Save.

This has been already answered, but I thought I would make it a bit clearer. There is no requirement to root the phone for this as it is a standard feature of Android.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
Hi, my poor Gio is stuck constantly rebooting every time I enable USB Mass Storage.

Debugging is enabled

. I didn't have this problem before switching to CyangoGenMod 7.2, and come to think of it, I don't recall having this problem until recently.

This problem occurs on Windows 7 Home Premium (regular USB drivers, no KIES) and Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Precise Pangolin, both 32-bit.

I really wanted to add some files, mostly music and videos, to my device quickly, but as DoubleTwist (my main media app, I love the UI) doesn't develop software for Linux, I am forced to use USB, rather than Airsync. The fact that I can't seem to use USB without my phone rebooting doesn't help much.

Anybody have a suggestion? I'll try disabling debugging, or maybe downloading the Android Debug Bridge? I can't try it tonight, but that doesn't make any sense. Why would either of those be a factor in just simply connecting Mass Storage?

EDIT: I disabled USB Debugging, and, though it took a while for the USB storage Android to say that it was in use, it finally worked, without rebooting. Now to see if it'll work again, or if an app on the SD card was causing the problem. The thing is, I have zero free space on the, what, < 200 MB Gio users have? So, if it is indeed an app (or even my Crystal theme), that'll suck.

Stay tuned for future edits!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xperia2rule:
did u figure it out?.... i have the same problem in my Sony Ericsson X8... with custom ROM Ginger elite v2... 2.3.7 .....

it reboots after trying to connect usb mass storage when usb debugging is not enabled... after trying for some time, it reboots

& when debugging is enabled, the entire phone hangs .....!!

if u figured something out.... kindly let me know...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
I can't remember if I figured it out, I know I must have but this was a long time ago, and I can no longer connect to USB anyway due to water damage. I should be getting a Windows Phone 8 relatively soon anyway so it's not worth fixing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] xm2406:
ok so i had the same prob and this is what i did..

> disable debug

>connected phone to usb - mass storage

>rebooted

>again chose mass storage

>worked!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Alucai Vivorvel:
Glad to hear it. I did end up getting a new phone, but it wasn't WP8 - and because Samsung has some bakas on their development teams, it's actually worse for the storage situation. I also don't like how there is no longer USB Mass Storage; rather, you're stuck with either MTP or whatever cameras usually use. Both seem to be slower than a regular connection, Windows tells you that your device may not be able to open the pictures in your music folders, and the MTP app locks your phone down until it's finished syncing.

I almost miss my Gio.

Almost.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Atharkhan101:
Help

I cannot enter Mass storage mode. It is getting rebooted and also takes away the wallpaper I've set.

My phone is rooted Micromax canvas 4 A210 with custom rom (lollipop themed). This problem started recently. I can recall I installed ADB and so may be conflict with the drivers etc. I've uninstalled the Google USB drivers which installs with ADB but still no help. I checked turning on and off USB Debugging, no help. I also tried changing the USB port, no help.

Further I use Link2SD app and after a clean install of custom rom, I checked options like 'Auto link' and 'External card' as default install location. Would there be some apps which should not be moved to External card? If yes, then what they are ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kujila:
[RESOLVED] Getting Kindle Fire out of "Factory Mode" after factory cable use?

Hey all. My buddies were trying to unbrick a Kindle Fire with a USB cable they soldered using a factory cable (The modified USB cable, like what is sold here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23049902&postcount=254 )

Turns out the kindle was just completely dead never to live again, however we plugged my WORKING Kindle into the cable to test whether or not the cable was working

Well my device turned itself on at that point, and I assume I am in factory mode now.

My device will turn itself on when plugged into any USB charger, and there is no external Orange/Green light when charging when the device is off or in sleep mode.

Any trick to take the device out of factory mode?

[EDIT: Kindle fire utility/adb report status 4000; normal. tried taking it from normal to fastboot mode and back with no luck - electrical issue? ]

It still works fine just a little annoying with these oddities.

inb4callingmestupidformakingthisproblem
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The factory cable puts the device in fastboot mode, not "factory" mode necessarily. Getting out of fastboot mode is as simple as changing the bootmode to 4000 which you have already done.

And the device is supposed to turn on when you plug it in.

As for the orange/green LEDs, I've never paid an my attention to when they are supposed to be on except when booting and personally, I couldn't care less. As long as you have normal functioning of the device in all other regards, I wouldn't worry about it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kujila:

[Quantum General] kgowrav:
Hi,

I am using quantum with mango update and i am getting only 6-7 hrs of battery life tops. So i just wanted to know if this is the case with all or only for me. I use 3g network and browse for 1 hr or so.
[Quantum General] otnos:
Battery life varies on how much talking you do, so to conserve battery, you need to turn off data, wifi, gps, and Bluetooth and turn them on only when you need them. I have to charge my phone every night. So your battery life is consistent.
[Quantum General] timotei21:
Using 3G for continuous use, really drains your battery, so it's normal to last so few.

You could use some tips from Rob Miles: robmiles.com/journal/2012/3/4/lumia-800-battery-life-tips.html (even though they are for Lumia 800 they apply to all WP7 devices)

Also, you could track to see how many apps are running as background tasks (settings-> flick left on the applications pivot item, and select background tasks).

But the general advise is to carry an USB cable and hook the phone into a computer everytime you can, to maintain it consistently charged.

Neither Dungeon Hunter or Adrenaline will work with ICS. At least that's what I'm thinking. Gameloft probably needs to update the game to play nicely with ICS.

I've used the top one, it's heavy and clumsy and hard to use for extended periods. I've yet to find anything that beats your fingers for typing on screen.
[TouchPad Accessories] wpra3:
well I get one off ebay, its the same thing, made from the same material, why waste 18 bucks while you can get it for 1 bucks.

I would say it does increase the accuracy, but since the screen has multipoint touch screen, you have to lift your hand in the air to take note. Its really not practical for me, I just use it to play draw something.
[TouchPad Accessories] domenci:
This happens even when you change the input mode to stylus?
[TouchPad Accessories] Nizda1:
Actually the stylus mode works pretty well for me.I've been using it way before it was merged in the nightly. Dees Troy who wrote the mod recommened a capacitance style and it works nice. Check his thread on rootzwiki it was only like 5$ on eBay. I had bought a more expensive one before and it was not nearly as good. Reason being the fat tip was calibrated for the tp with his digitizer. There's a whole technical reason behind it if you are interested check it out.
[TouchPad Accessories] daybis13:
I actually have a stylus and they're pretty cool. Only thing is there isn't a note taking app like the notetaker HD from Apple, I can't stand Apple, but I just wish someone would make an app on that par. And besides that is the multitouch problem. You can't have your hand rest on the screen or it'll take it as an input which sucks.
[TouchPad Accessories] wpra3:
Yes you still need to lift your palm, the only difference that i can see is that when you change to stylus mode, its somehow more accurate and easier to write with, but that doesn't change the fact that its still hard to write in general.

At the end of the day, using a pen and paper is so much faster, easier, and better. I try to use ezpdf to annotate lecture note, but at the end I don't use it since its really hard to write with.
[TouchPad Accessories] worldindo1:
I received the Wacom Bamboo Stylus as a gift and it feels great. It weighs 18.9 grams so it feels fairly natural in hand. It kind of sucks that we dont have any good Notetaking apps though. Maybe webOS does but I know that I haven't been able to find a good app in the Play Store. GoSMS has a nice smooth response to styli if you use the doodle/handwriting function so if you don't mind having your notes in a picture form, it works very well. I wish their team would release a strictly notetaking app because they definitely hit the nail on the head. Or maybe if they released their source for the handwriting plugin, someone here on the forums could build an app for notes. Anyways, good luck on the stylus situation!

So I've had my phone rooted since day one and the last two months my bill has showed fees for two if my three lines with hot spot fees and it just so happens to be the two rooted phones with hot spots. Both of witch are Evo 3ds just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Or if any one has any suggestions on a solution to my problem. Both phones are 1.5 hboot :( one of them is running CM7 one eternity.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrisb7:
Also I never payed for the service when I got the account and haven't payed the fees yet either.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Well you could actually pay for the hot spot feature if that's what you are using your phone for...
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
This.

If you're going to use the feature, at least pay for it. People that use the feature without paying and use a lot of data are part of the reason why unlimited data plans are going away.

I don't use this service but unlocked hotspots come with every rom and it is now being added to my bill. Just trying to find out why.

[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
They have no way of telling you are rooted, or running a hotspot app, especially if you have never even used the hotspot app. If it's on your bill, either someone on your account put it there, or it may have just been a mistake by a rep. Either way, there is nothing we can do about it here. You need to call your carrier and have them take it off.

charged for using hotspot?

Ive been using mobile hotspot on sprint for 4months, they dont even know, im on the simply everything plan, ive heard of some people getting caught using it, but I havent, how much are the charges on your bill when you get caught?
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
M8, the wifi hotspot (if thats what you mean) is a feature of the phone and you should not be billed ontop of your usual bill for it, if your a crazy downloader and have just downloaded about 20 dvd's from it or something then fair enough they may have something to moan about, but from my understanding it's a feature of the phone and if you have an unlimited data plan then they have no right to bill you extra for using something on your phone that has nothing to do with them, all you are doing if you use it is utilizing your phones features and your tarriffs benefits.

Speak to them and get it sorted, it's never happened to me in over 4 years of using HTC devices with this feature rooted or not.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

unlimited data plans are going mental in the UK, 3, t-mobile and i think another one offer unlimited data, no signs of them going anywhere.

Plus this guy shouldn't be paying for this, unless he signed up to something, this is a feature of the phone and nothing to do with the network.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Didn't mean to thank you

there was no mistake when they added it on there. They illegally added it on there to hope you don't notice and gain income on idiots that don't check their bill. They'll get away with their illegal actions because they feel that they are above the law.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
source? let's not post derogatory conjecture without some facts
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
That is a fact. There are thousands of reports of the same issues with the company. Also, just look at the tax fraud alone and tell me that they care about doing things that are legal.

I don't have to source anything to an uneducated member. Pick up a paper once in a while.

btw, THOSE PHONES BELONG to us. Not sprint. They can't legally block a function of the phone to force profit. They get away with it because no one stops them. Just like this so called 10 dollar extra a month per phone for having a rock solid speedy phone. they didn't provide that phone to us. HTC DID! Consumers no longer have control over large companies. The government no longer has control.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I never got billed, but one time I went to turn on 4g and accidently turned on hot spot. Within 5 minutes I received a text from sprint mentioning the benefit of the hot spot feature and how to add it to my plan. Coincidence? :D
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Well if you are using the stock rom with the unhacked hotspot, that will happen.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Definitely not on stock ROM. I believe I was on ViperROM with the hotspot fix enabled, but I might have been too much of a rooting noob at the time to have applied the fix :D.

Lets say on the Desire HD ? It's a feature of the phone, u have unlimited data? What is the problem ?

If it's not truly unlimited then ok then that's understandable.

I would hit the roof if i got a bill for anything remotely resembling hotspot usage.

Thats really bad if they lock it out, sprint sound really bad, i certainly wouldn't go with them.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

If it is a factory unlocked phone and you bought it then yes that would be unjustified, however if it's a branded phone and you choose them as your supplier and to get the phone from them, then i'm afraid thats your choice, they can do with their handset's as they please, I'm pretty sure that they would have okayed it with HTC first.

Not saying i agree with it but if it is a branded phone then i suppose they can do it.
