I think your best bet would be to add your blog to your google reader account then add your google reader account to flip board. Maybe that will work.

That is done by taping the magnifying glass in the top right corner then tapping "Accounts"

You could also just search for it but it may or may not come up.

Alright I think I'm stuck for once. Facebook calendar notification of birthdays will not go away from the lock screen. I cannot uninstall facebook or freeze the program because it wont let me without root and TB. I've changed all my facebook settings and friend stream to not sync calendar and done a couple of reboots. These events wont show up in my calendar now either google or phone sense calendar anymore but im still stuck with the popup on lockscreen. Even when i drag the notification to the ring it brings me to calendar and the event doesnt exist anymore according to it.

Is there a way to get rid of this short of factory reset/root TB and freeze. My beautiful lockscreen is made ugly with this and would like to find a solution. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] duylong186:
Hey, I had the same problem. What i did to fix it was to go into calendar and untick everything except the calendars I wanted. I also went to the lockscreen settings and chose them. After that, just restart and you should be good to go :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tyie101:
i will give it a shot and report back.

edit: it was the lockscreen settings under personalize that did it for me... thanks again still getting used to sense coming from touchwiz.

Well, WIND are beginning to scare me. Before, when I needed my BB unlocked, it was as easy as sending them an email. Now, I need the G2x unlock code, not only I have to call them, but also to pay $10.

WTH? I'm still not that poor, but there's a matter of principle here - I have the phone, I'm paying for it since the beginning, I feel like someone is getting money for nothing. Would you pay if you were in my case?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
When I signed up I was told that after 3 months WIND would supply the unlock code at no cost. I didn't want to wait 3 months so I paid for an unlock code. Here's where you can get an unlock code for 99 cents US through an Ebay seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlock-Code...s=63&clkid=2846801209278919181#ht_2270wt_1037

Make sure that you give the correct numbers because, if there's an error, the unlock code won't work and there's a limited number of attempts allowed before the phone is hard-locked so that it will never be able to be unlocked from WIND.

WIND's customer service totally sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jwslam:
I believe it was one free unlock every three months and some people on howardforums says it's 6.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
One free unlock every three months for only one customer. Typical for WIND.

I'm not a wind customer but I wouldn't pay them 10 dollars, especially for 20 day wait. 10 dollars isn't a lot but they are legally required to give you the unlock code
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
PM me and I can get you the unlock code for $2.00. Just click my donation link and give your IMEI in notes section of payment. You can get even cheaper on eBay but results vary from seller to seller.
[XPERIA X10 General] [XBOCT]™:
Hello everyone. I have been using championswimmer x10s ROM since it was released. When version 8.2 released, the addon pack had the aroma installer. I thought, what if I repackage the entire ROM with aroma installer. Worked on it last night and was able to flash it through aroma. But the problem I get is now, that i am not able to symlink files and directories. The updater-script is attached and so is the log made by aroma. If anyone can help me, I would be grateful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
To those who have no banding: Have you tried this? If you have, and still see no banding, can you post a photo of it?

How to see the color banding: go to Settings, then Apps, then tap on an app and choose "Uninstall" (you can still cancel, don't worry). This screen has a gray gradient that shows severe banding on my One X, especially near the bottom of the screen. And not just banding where you see the transition between one shade and the next, but there are (many) places where the stripes go dark-light-dark.

I took a picture of my One X on that screen (using my Captivate, handheld--not the best result, but it does show the banding). I also attached a screenshot for comparison (it'll only show whatever banding your computer display has).

Since I have two smartphones, a laptop, and an HDTV here, I decided to compare the banding on the four displays. Here are my findings:

Captivate (SAMOLED) - banding is almost undetectable at all viewing angles.

Laptop screen (Dell Studio XPS 13, LCD) - banding is somewhat noticeable, slightly worse depending on viewing angle.

HDTV via HDMI (Sharp LCD, low end) - banding is slight to severe, viewing angle matters a lot.

One X - Noticeable banding from all angles (viewing angle seems to be irrelevant to this screen, which is great).

The One X's screen is still the best I've ever seen on a phone. Let's not lose perspective here! I'm just trying to investigate this particular minor issue.

Edit: In case it's not clear, I compared the banding by viewing the same screenshot on all four displays.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AvengerBB:
That looks more like how they are displaying that particular screen than anything hardware related. Otherwise we would see those bands everywhere.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
This.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
It has to do with that particular screen because

It's a linear gradient--stripes are easier to notice,

the start and end colors are not very different,

the gradient is large.

Points 2 and 3 mean there are fewer intermediate shades, and they're stretched out over a larger area. So, yes, that screen is a challenging image for a display to render, but that's exactly what "color banding" refers to--how well does a display cope with such gradients?

If you think it's not hardware related, just take a screenshot, and view that image file on your computer or another phone. The bands are less noticeable.

And again, I feel like I need to repeat that this is the best screen I've ever used, and I love it. I'm just trying to get a handle on this one issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
My understanding of color banding is that it is not so much a function of hardware, but one of software. It depends on the number of shade of a color available. The fewer bits available to display different shades, the worse the banding would be. I'm not very good at explaining it, see wikipedia for more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_banding

My point is that I don't think that it's a defect of any sort. I think that what we're seeing (I checked mine in the uninstall screen and there's some slight banding) is that gradient from light gray to darker gray is probably a low resolution and low color resolution graphic.

For another example, go to this page:

http://tomobriendc.net/images/Green_Gradient_to_black.png

That's a higher resolution image that gradients from green to black. When viewed at the default browser resolution, I see absolutely no banding. When I zoom in to have the image fill the screen, which puts it stretched, I can see very slight banding in the green end. Further zooming increases the banding, but by then I'm zoomed far past the full size image.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think this is a non-issue. The amount of banding visible (if any) has at least as much to do with the image you're trying to view as it has to do with the display. If you don't get color banding in pictures that you take, or in the UI that you use every day, then I wouldn't worry about it in the slightest.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
Alright guys, I know what color banding is, and I think I was very clear in my first post that I took a screenshot, and viewed the same screenshot on four different displays. This is not about software, bit depth, or image resolution. It's about whether this display shows more color banding than other displays.

And I do agree that in typical use it's a non-issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
Every single new phone section had to have at least 4 of these topics. I swear I see them anytime a new phone pops out. My money is on software.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
Of course you do. People just got their brand new gadget that they've been looking forward to for months, and will be living with every day for a year or two. Naturally they want to poke around and check out every little detail. At least some of us do anyway, and we're probably over-represented on forums dedicated to phones! :-)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
The second photo looks like a screen capture and I see banding.

Wouldn't that mean it's software related?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
It is a screen capture, and it just means the display you're viewing it on also has some banding. I see it on my computer display, too, just not nearly as much as on my One X.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
I don't know if this helps but my One X, computer, and new iPad all show banding on the screen capture.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
This issue is completely software related. Pointless thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
Nowhere in OP does it say you used the same picture across all displays.

Regardless, this is a software/image dependent "issue." You can see banding on any display, regardless of whether it's a 20 year old CRT or Samsung's brand new $9000 OLED TV. It's a NON-ISSUE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jshahanii:
Banding

I also think this is a software issue. However, the screen shot the OP posted of his One X looks way worse than mine does. Mine barely has any of the banding and is mostly black all the way through other than at the very bottom. It just doesn't progress upwards like is does. However, if you dont always see the banding on a black screen then its in the software. Take a picture of something that is completely black or do a screen shot of something black and view it in the gallery and if you don't see the banding then this is obviously just the particular uninstall app causing this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
lol SOOOO wrong. Unless you've got your computer display set to 16-bit color or less, it's got NOTHING to do with the display on your computer.

It's 100% software related. It'll likely get fixed. When we got ICS ports onto the DHD there was banding, far worse than these pics, and it was fixed with an update.

Yes, different display types can ACCENTUATE the issue to various levels, but if the software were rendering everything right, you wouldn't see banding, no matter what display your device has.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fielddb:
It's all about the pixels. If the pic has less pixels then the actual screen resolution you will see that the banding is greater, because ICS is made to stretch to all phones that's why it's more noticeable on larger devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
Oops, you're correct...I rewrote that first post many times as I tried various things and added/removed information, and I must have left that part out. I edited it for clarity. Thanks.

Yes and no. It's image-dependent only in the sense that certain images are more challenging to render correctly without banding. I realize other displays have banding (I know I was clear about that in the FP), but I'm just saying this one seems to have it worse than most.

Look, all I'm trying to do is investigate this one, minor area where my phone's screen seems to have poor performance. If it's only mine, then I'll exchange it. If they're all this way, then fine, it's still the best phone display I've ever seen, and I won't worry about it. My Captivate's display has almost no banding, but I'd be retarded to prefer it over my One's.

All I've been trying to do is determine whether there's something wrong with my screen, or if it's just how they are. And I'm pretty sure it's the latter. And that's fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
You do realize the reason that your Captivate shows little to no banding is that the black pixels of the display aren't even on, right? So the Captivates blacks are truer than the One X's, but our white is more true than the Captivate's white(blue). No display is perfect, other than the ones on your face, so why bother stressing over it? If you never had any device to compare to, then you wouldn't have a single thing to have a fit about. There are going to be discrepancies and every display is going to have trouble doing at least one thing or another, nothing's perfect.

On top of that it has to do with the grade of the gradient and how quickly it's changing shades of colors. Say you're making a black to white gradient in 20-30 passes, 20-30 changes basically, it's going to be choppier than one with 100 or whatever. If you don't give it adequate time to make the change, then of course it's going to band. It's just like animating. You can't expect a 15 frame animation to display a full action scene in any bit of smoothness. It takes 100+ frames to do 3 seconds of visually smooth animation.

The banding is LITERAL BANDS of color on the screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cranch:
The galaxy nexus does this as well on settings and a dev fixed it by updating the image used within the settings app. I'll see if I can find it.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
I have a reasonably simple solution to this issue ...

Maybe I'm wrong, or I don't quite understand the issue, but I think I have a simple solution to determine if banding is really an issue in this regard.

I'm preparing four images, which I will upload in a ZIP file along with instructions.

Give me about 10-15 minutes.

Peter

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Clicking on the link below will download a ZIP file called Banding. Extract the four images and place them anywhere on your device.

http://www.sierrabeyer.com/TempImages/Banding.zip

Now look at each image on your device and decide whether or not you see banding. If you do, then the unit DOES suffer from banding. If not, then it's simply an issue relating to the image used by the developer for the background image of the screen your looking at, in this case, the uninstall screen.

Why can I make this conclusion? Well, all four images are simply 1280x720 pixels, the exact resolution of the ONE X screen. Also, all four images display but ONE colour. Okay, maybe not a colour since one is black (0,0,0), and the other three are shades of grey (32,32,32 and 64,64,64 and 128,128,128).

Here are full size images:

I don't see ANY banding on my HTC ONE X screen. Each image is pure black or grey.

Let me know what you think. Does this test resolve the issue, or am I completely off base?

Peter

Addendum: I have since learned that my reasoning is flawed. If I could remove this post, I would. My apologies to everyone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vinuneuro:
You need a gradient for the banding to occurr. Download LCD Tester from Play.

This topic has been covered in the screen thread in this forum. It might be software related, but I'm not sure. Every One X I've seen so far has it. The uninstall screen is just one example. Any screen that has a gradient produces banding in the direction. The multitasking screen in a good example. Toward the middle it's circular, but toward the sides and top/bottom it's parabolic.

I see banding as exactly on the uninstall screen in the first post, but not much banding ni the LCD Tester app.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
It's a software problem, likely a derivative of having a 720p screen and scaling gradients that are hard coded for a 800x480 screen. With my low res skyrocket, gradients in CM9 looked great - until I changed the text resolution and immediately all the gradients got borked.

Want a good test? Look at XDA app loading screen gradient. Good on our HOX now because the image shows in native 800x480 (looks goofy). When shown on a 720p phone that shows that same image full screen (ie my lg nitro) it bands like hell.

Install the "fly delta" app on your HOX. Look at the main screen. Perfect gradient. PERFECT. Proof again it's software.

All this gradient nonsense is a known Android issue. Nothing to see here, move along.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] S8B:
Also, wouldn't the Facebook startup image be a perfect image for color banding? There is zero color banding there (yet I have color banding in the uninstall app image).

Yes, but apparently nobody wants to accept the facts here.

Do the rest of you have banding using lcd tester, because I see it in other apps like Google Music too. Anywhere there's a gradient. Then again I see some in my X220 laptop with an IPS screen too, so maybe it's not entirely escapable.

[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
My vibrant gave up the ghost 2 days ago. Turned itself off and now it won't fully boot without turning itself off unless I leave it undisturbed on a table.

Something on/under the ringer/speaker is loose or corroded, because tapping on that part of the phone makes it cut itself off.

Been using a Galaxy Tab as my phone for the past day and a half. Galaxy Nexus should arrive at home this afternoon.

Goodbye vibrant and Bionix. I would have liked to keep you as a media player, but I guess it is not to ever be. You worked well... except for your wonky GPS and tendency to 'forget' custom ring tones for contacts.... and your shrinking battery life (I have 4 spare batteries).... and taking 2 minutes to read the SD cards during boot up.... but you sure had a nice screen.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
You could still use it as a media player. Odin it back to stock then flash a rom. There's one that's design just for that.

You said when you tap it on the side it cuts its self, do you mean it shuts down?
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
When I tap it on the back surface of the phone, close to the top (basically where the ringer/speaker-phone is) then it shuts itself off (power goes off)

Other things can cause it to shut off, but that seems to be the problem area.
[Vibrant General] doiiido:
you may can fix it

well, if you have a soldering iron and a oven proceed, if not but you want to fix it go and buy one.

**Do it only as last resource and if you dont have an soldering station.**

take out the board of you vibrant, solder a small piece of any wire you have on an insignificant par of the board (like the gold border around it) put the board in the oven nearly at 200ºC and wait a bit of time till the solder you have done got liquid an the wire goes down.Turn off the oven and let the door open in order to cool ,wait till it got fresh enough to test.

Be happy!

Obs.:the board will get damage if you let it got more hot than necessary.

Good luck!
