I had the exact same problem you did!

The solution I found to this was doing a few modifications to my eye sight, first you start by looking left for 15 secs, looking right for 15 seconds, then you close your eyes for a moment and do a few rolls around in a circle with your eye, then proceed to open them again, look up for 15 seconds, then gently "pop" you eye out with a paper clip, then proceed to operate with a knife, you need to remove that red string on the end of it to solve your problem!

The resolution may play a big part like you say, and yes I don't use my phone anymore while I'm on a moving car, know I want to use an one x to compare if indeed its the resolution or the superamoled HD that's causing the problem

I was going to tell the OP to try it with an iPhone 4 since I know it has a PenTile screen, however I think the pixel arrangement is different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
This is actually very reasonable.

ICS can increase font size, try larger font. With CM9 you can also increase the dpi, it will make objects largers. And install Go Launcher and use a white theme. Its harder to concerntrate with white text on black.

It's a well known fact that Pentile screens can cause dizzyness, sickness and hallucinations if used for periods of over 5 mins at a time. Pentile screens were also blamed for the massacre of Ji Wun in Korea, where 1600 people mysteriously died after Samsung installed Pentile based advertisement screens along the town's major thoroughfare. Samsung responded by saying if anything, the Pentile screens should have increased the lifespan of the residents, due to fewer blue pixels.

Why do you think people went nuts over the SGS3 screen being Pentile. Could be Ji Wun all over again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madhandle645:
Your brain knows you are moving but your eyes can't see it so the brain gets confused which causes the motion sickness. Try holding the phone up in front of your eyes instead of looking down at it. Might not work and you might look a little silly, lol, but worth a try.

Its a 720p screen, not a 720 dpi screen. The galaxy nexus is 336 dpi I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
After i read this thread i tested it today on a 20min bus ride :D , didn't take my eyes off the phone, but had none of the mentioned symptoms..as a med student i support the theory that the brain is getting mixed info from the eyes and the receptors in the 3 semilunar canals (inner ear) that register the motion of endolymph on 3 axis. There are pills for such conditions, but it sounds retarded if u have to take a pill everytime u sit in a car ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taliessa Pink:
This is happening to me with pretty much every high end smartphone. I really want to upgrade my phone but can't until I can find one that doesn't make me dizzy and feel sick within minutes. I don't know why people are laughing at this it's actually much more common that people realise. I cannot go near an amoled screen. I am not too bad with the smaller iphones ( 5S and SE) but I really wanted android. Am waiting for the June release of the Sony Xperia XA as that has a lower resolution until then I am stuck with my Motorola Moto G 1st Gen with a slowly dying battery and constant crashes as I cannot get the stored photos on my PC

[Motorola Droid 4] clockworkengine:
Hey, everyone. I have a question about the hardware keyboard of the Droid 4. First, let me familiarize you with my problem. It's the same problem I had on the Droid 3, and now on my Droid 4. If you press two keys simultaneously, neither register at all for input, or only one of the keys will register. Now, this doesn't apply to all keys; it seems that you can simultaneously press keys and have both register as long as the keys are a sufficient distance apart physically. I'm sure there's a reason for this that I'm not aware of, besides the keys just being far apart. Also, you CAN hold one key and THEN press another and have them both register properly, but I'm trying to instantly press two keys simultaneously and get the proper response.

Is this a hardware issue or a software issue? I wonder if it is a limitation of Gingerbread, so if anyone is running an ICS ROM, could you test this for me? If you press the W and Q keys at the exact same time, do you get both letters? Try it with two fingers just to make sure you're pressing them simultaneously. If anyone can help me or provide information or a solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, I want to be able to press two keys at once in order to play games using the keyboard more effectively.

EDIT: I've been messing around with the keyboard, and it seems like any two buttons can be pressed simultaneously as long as they aren't right next to one another physically. To me this suggests that there's some kind of feature on the hardware keyboard that prevents the user from accidentally pressing a button next to the one they intended to press, since the keys are so small. If that's the case, is there some way to disable this feature? I'm just making educated guesses at this point, hoping it isn't a hardware issue. Patiently awaiting a response...
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Seems to work for me, I'm on AOKP.

BTW, many keyboards have this issue, even laptops and desktops. However in this case, the issue seems to be software...
[Motorola Droid 4] clockworkengine:
Thanks a lot for the response, podspi. I plan to wait for the official ICS rom from Moto, so can you direct me to any possible resources that might fix the issue on my current ROM? I'm running the latest official firmware from Motorola.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Just tried it out, stock doesn't allow you to hit two buttons at once. I honestly really would recommend installing safestrap, and getting an ICS build like AOKP if this is really important to you.

There might be a way to get this functionality under stock GB, but I sadly have no idea where to even start with that :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ebs512:
I'm on Kangy Ultra and its awesome! Currently the most professional looking theme I'm using with animated icons in the status bar is mixed ics, I like the gradient fades of blue in the download progress bar, wifi and 3g/4g status bar icons, just the theme overall is pretty sweet, a few changes I would like in another release is other various colors other than blue, I would like the status bar drop down menu to have a different background/color, here's how it looks now:

I would also like this keyboard to have a different color, whether change the color of the white keys or change the blue, kind of irritating me:

I would do this myself but I've gotta wait another week until I can buy a new PC due to my old one crashing so if anyone would be willing to do this that would be great...also a lot of the apps for this theme are inverted so keep in mind if you change the color, keep it coordinated(I'm hoping someone will do a gradient fade/theme layout of cyan(light blue) to lime green with a hint of red or purple...btw I did not make this theme but here is a screenshot of the download progress bar:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Hello. Since this is my 1st post as "M4TGS" few words about me: I'm new MT4GS owner and new Android user, coming from WinMo world (been using PocketPCs since WinMo 2003 SE) so if something sounds noobish please forgive me, I haven't had Android phone before (or linux on my PCs).

Please correct me if/where I'm wrong.

My phone is:

LOCKED

S-ON

HBOOT-1.45.0013

with T-Mobile's ROM full of useless junk (I knew that would be the case when I bought it, I had WinMo phones from T-Mo before and they always were loaded with garbage, which I always flashed with modded ROMs, I don't know why I just assumed all Android phones are easy to root and flash :o shouldve done some reading here first...)

So, after reading a lot of threads here today it seems that:

1 - I cannot change my ROM (due to S-ON and bootloader version that hasn't been cracked yet), is that correct?

2 - I cannot get rid of T-Mobile's junk from my stock rom either, because even if I use the "temp-perma-SuperUser" method, delete the "bloatware" apk, the bootloader will do crc check on next boot and restore them all again, is that correct?

3 - Assuming I understood 1 and 2 correctly, is there a way to stop the "bloatware" from starting at boot? For WinMo 6.x we had few different utilities that basically work on the phone similar to batch scripts on Windows, and a lot of automation could be achieved with those; if there is something like this for Android could it be automated to stop some of the bloatware and remove their shortcuts from menu at every boot?

(i.e. T-Mobile's-specific apps such as "My Account" or "Visual Voicemail", specially the latter bugs me the most because my canadian provider Wind doesn't have Visual voicemail and I can't just tap on "voicemail" without being nagged to enable visual voicemail every time I tap on voicemail in notifications, its so annoying)

4 - How on earth do I make videocalls with this phone and ROM? (yes I searched forum for that and found "Qik" which is not what I'm asking about - I can install i.e. Skype and it'll serve me better than this Qik)

On my last WinMo phone I just tapped the "camera" icon in the phone app and it did videocall using data connection. I can't find anything like it (nor anything pointing to videocall or datacall) on this phone, what am I missing?

Any answers appreciated, TIA! :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Well ill just start by saying 1 is wrong so you might want to do some more reading chief, i didnt get through the rest of your post yet just wanted to say your first thought is wrong
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Thanks. It seems like you're right, as I just found in post from yesterday:

What about my question 4 (videocalls)?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Couldnt tell ya man, maybe it does it by gmail addresses? I never use my ffc, i have a iTurd for facetime thats it. My android is my pocket PC lol so mostly all text based things

I couldnt pass a pair of brand new 4th gens for 2 hundred man, only reason they were bought is because i dont live with my 2 year old daughter so we facetime when i dont see her
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Man, seems like same case here, my sonny is bit older than your dottie, but he too lives with his mother... that's my only reason for videocall need in this phone
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah hmm maybe find a friend that has a phone with a ffc and video call and see if once you add all the info to the address book it gives you the option to video call. I would say google talk has video call but its trash. Then again you might have to use a 3rd party app like qik, thats what comes stock right
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HappyKhicken:
I know exactly what you mean. I came over to this phone about 2 months ago from a Touch Pro 2. Boy the difference is figuring out how to get around the security on it.

Anyway, just use HTC's unlock tool assuming you are on the newest software version. If you're not, then update to the newest. This will allow you to flash custom ROMs. Flash Clockworkmod recovery. Then just flash superuser through it. This will give you root and the ability to delete the bloatware.

You'll still be S-on, but will be able to flash any custom ROM you want, you just have to push the kernel separately through ADB instead of in a nice neat package.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Yes HappyKhicken it seems much more work to customize it than it was with any Windows Mobile. Not that it would discourage me :D its just an observation.

I'm still reading around, I have just found out about the "wire trick" to make radio S-OFF, so I want to learn as much as possible before I do anything other than hard reset.

Since you also had TP2 can you explain to me how do you make a videocall here?

I can't figure out how to make videocall at all :confused:

If you remember in WinMo (well, depending on ROM and dialer canvas version you had of course) when you tap phone there was the icon that looked like one of those old Logitech round webcams, when you tap this icon it switched to "videocall" to the person you were dialing, and if this person didn't have video capability it switch back to "voice". Can't find anything like this here.

Also probably stupid question: is it possible to restore unlocked/s-off phone back to being locked with s-on and full of junk stock rom? (in case I would need to send it back to htc for warranty repair or replacement, I don't have T-Mobile's option with Asurion insurance since I'm not their customer and I'm in Canada)

thx
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
OK. I bit the bullet, went to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1532809

run the HTC unlock, and now my bootloader says ***UNLOCKED***

(this was easy-peasy, just somehow no one mentioned in htc unlock tool thread - or I didn't notice it - that an account on htcdev is needed, but I made some quick fake email acct and registered there with it, hopefully I won't need it again? I just realized I didn't save any info for these accts lol)

So, next step would be to flash recovery - either CWM or "Stock 1.55" as there are these 2 to choose from at fifth step on HTC Unlock Tool.

What are the difference between these two?

If I flash one of them now, can I flash the other one later?

I'm not going to flash any new ROM yet, I need to get accustomed to Android first, but I would want to get rid of some bloatware and T-Mobile-specific apps that came with stock ROM since I'm not on T-Mobile. I know I need to flash CWM or Stock Recovery to gain root access, but I don't know which one should I choose / what are the major difference / advantages / disadvantages ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Skype works very well on this phone. I've done videochat with a few friends, one of them using another Android, the other friend on an iPhone 4S. We were using Skype since that is a common software for us. Oh, I forgot, I also did Skype video chat using my MT4GS to another friend in Turkey, he was using his laptop. Great thing about Skype is it works on 4G or Wi-Fi (I have unlimited 4G data so I don't worry about it).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Thanks. Yeah, I installed Skype from Google Play (I think Android Market was better name) and indeed it works great. I think sound quality is way better than Skype for Window Mobile, maybe it is better than 'regular voicecall' too, or so it seems.

But it came to me clear now, and I can't believe it, but despite most of Android 'smartphones' having front cameras, the OS itself doesn't have videocall capability built-in, am I correct?

It's kinda let down if true? because AFAIR even my old TyTN II (thats ancient 2007 model) and every other WinMo smartphone with front camera I had after that also had videocall built-in right there in the dialer :rolleyes:

Good god it took me two days to realize I needed to reenable usb debugging after the bootloader unlocked. AJSNFLASKDA
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
OK... care to explain more, specially that you post the same comment in other thread (so I guess it is either important or spam)...

I'm sure I'm not the only noob to this phone and Android OS in general, so:

Why does the usb port need to be in debug mode and how do I start it if it is necessary?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
To do many adb functions the device must be in debug mode.

The usb port itself isn't in debug mode, rather the whole device is.

In a very technical sense, a ROM is not 'polished' or 'finished' if it releases with usb debugging enabled - but I released mine that way because I use it so very often.

The setting is in:

Settings - Applications - Development

Sent from a digital distance.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Thank you Blue6IX for excellent explanation and thenpaxtongoes for the reminder :)

Now to root my unlocked phone:

volume down + power, to go into hboot, plug in usb, fire up HTC Unlocker Tool and install CWM or Stock recovery, but do I need to change on my phone's hboot menu screen down to Recovery first or do I keep it at default Fastboot to install one of the Recoveries?

Another question is which recovery to install? It seems CWM is the one to go with but what are the advantages/disadvantages of CWM vs Stock 1.55 recovery? TIA
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
RESURRECTING an old thread ;)

I have just rooted my MT4GS and I want to get rid of some of the stock T-Mo apps.

There was a thread here I read half a year ago with a list of apps that can be safely deleted, but I just spend good 30min trying to find it... I guess it was a post in some unrelated thread or such.

I want all the T-Mobile-specific apps gone (and yes I did backup on SD card with clockwork recovery). :cyclops: Can someone point me in right direction?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
What I find the easiest to do is just use something like My Backup Pro or Titanium Backup to "freeze" the things I don't want, usually those things from T-Mobile or HTC that startup in the background but I never use. Like the Group Messaging stuff (there are 3 processes associated with that, I freeze all 3), the SWM-C process, T-Mobile ID (a caller-ID type thing you have to pay for). Yes, they still take up storage space but that is negligible, by freezing them they no longer are taking up processing/battery time.

Posting in an old thread, as I have been experiencing issues with the same phone (Locked + S-ON + 1.45.0013)

I've been following the steps provided with the noobs "how-to" thread, which is very helpful.

Everything runs smoothly until trying to flash the Unlock_code.bin. I have the phone on HBOOT on "FLASHBOOT USB"

The command prompt reads

C:\Users\Reza>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin': Unknown error

Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Any help, or a point in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated.

they are all over Ebay now for around $13. got one today and it works great. These chargers don't have a USB port the cable is connected directly to the plug. much better than paying the $40 for another charger.

Amazon has similar items. Waiting on mine in the mail.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I bought one on ebay for $9.50 coming from China. Made my touch screen go haywire. This one has the usb end so I can use my stock usb cable to it. I wanted to get it to extend my cable. I've also seen one with the 40pin charging connector on ebay and amazon that some reviewers mention had the same effect on touch screen. You can test yours by not touching the tablet and just use your finger across the screen. Once you touch the tablet with the other hand it grounds the tablet and works fine. I'm not sure I would trust these chargers not to damage the tablet eventually since they are not properly grounded. Here's a video i sent to the seller who promptly gave me a refund. So just be careful...

Had the same happen with mine. Has a fixed 40 pin plug. Told the seller and he send me another one -guess what - same thing.

Be careful ordering these. They have issue as shown.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Given that I spent $500 on the tablet, and another $150 on my dock I don't know it is really worthwhile to skimp when it comes to buying a charger for my Prime.

These off-brand Chinese chargers have zero quality control and there is no way to know what voltage they are actually delivering to the tablet. They could be destroying your tablet's battery.

IMO, if you need an extra charging cable you are better off just spending the $30 on an original Asus TF101/201 charging adapter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
Have mine put together from adaptaplug stuff at Radioshack. More quality control than Asus as I haven't had this one fall and have killed two of theirs. Bought the cheap one just because.

Stop being cheap and spend money on the OEM charger. Buying third party electrical stuff with sensitive electronics isn't a good idea.

What did you save, $10-$13?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Bogus...

Yeah, 100% savings is bad, right?

Please, I have bought so many after market phone and tablet accessories that function just the same as the OEM overpriced name brand stamped accessories.

If anything, I think it is more of a douche move to spend 2x the money on an OEM part to get essentially the same product as those from over seas
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
To put the opposite spin on your story, I have purchased TONS of aftermarket no-name chargers for cell phones and other electronics, and at least 1/3rd of them were bad. I mean bad, in that they damaged the batteries of the devices they were used with.

Many of them work fine even to this day, but one bad one can turn your $10-15 in savings into a $500 loss pretty quick.

Its your device, and it is your money but keep in mind these no name unbranded chargers come with some risks.
