I have heard good and bad with them. Some people love them. I know of a post over at macrumors of a person would had a claim with them on a ipad2 he had insured. They kept it for 3 weeks, and when it came back...it was in worse shape. They had replaced the screen, but the frame was bent (as if someone beat in the new screen), and the corners of the ipad had been filled down.

Anyway, that person was unhappy. If I remember correctly, squaretrade, after some arguing, replaced the ipad completely. Still....makes you hesitate with them.

Never the less, I have heard good things as well.
[General Questions and Answers] DevaVictrix:
I want to add a few pics to instagram that I dont wont to be square. I have been told iphone users can use squaready to fill in areas so that a 16:9 or 4:3 image is square. Like this...

But I have a GS2 and squaready is only for iphone.

I have googled and googled to no avail... are there any android apps that will make my rectangular image square? Or how can I do it on windws (quickly and easily)

Many thanks

Hi guys,

I'm running ARHD 6.6.5 with faux123 007b

Whenever I try a visit play.com through stock browser it will always put my back to the hone screen. Other browser's work ok but I really wanted to keep with stock.

Have tried various kernals but same result. This also happened in 6.6.4.

Any ideas?

I found an stock ICS browser to flash but ext says its a bad zip.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
Hello and a good day :D

I have an Samsung Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 and am looking for a nice and smooth working launcher to use. I don't like the default launcher that comes with my tablet and tested some others (SPB shell, TSF shell, GO Launcher EX and some more). I currently use GO Launcher EX but i think it's kind off slow and am wondering which launchers are the best for Android 4.0
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BROKKANIC:
I like Apex launcher
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
lol .. Am testing the Apex launcher pro atm :D

It looks good and scrolls better then GO Launcher EX. Maybe you can tell me about how the theming part goes. With GO Launcher EX you can download many themes, does it work the same with the Apex launcher or do you have to customize it manualy?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BROKKANIC:
Apex is awesome. It pretty much beats any launchers out there in terms of features on the free version.

The pro version is great because it supports GO Launcher themes.

Backing up and restoring desktop settings is a breeze. The speed of the app is great. The only real issue I have with the launcher is the wallpaper resize issues and redraw issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
That's a big + ... the support for GO Launcher themes. I see what you mean regarding wallpaper resizing. It's not a very sharp image compared to GO Launcher EX. For the rest it works great and it's faster then most of the launchers i tested.

I think i just found the launcher i was looking for.. thanks!!

Phoenix Launcher is your choice in home screen replacements if you want some look and feel of the Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn.vanpoorten:
Did a search for it in the play store but all i found are Phoenix themes for the GO Launcher EX. Is it a launcher or a launcher theme?

Apex

Apex Pro is a great choice. I use it on my GS3 and my Nexus 7. Love it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user298:
Hello guys,

I think Nova Launcher is the best!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deviant_cryptic:
Nova launcher is probably the best for 4.0. I run that on my old TF101.

I also run TSF shell on my phone, which is pretty awesome but its very resource intensive.

[TouchPad General] Andysan:
Hi all,

When I charge my HP TP running CM9 nightly, a clock screen is displayed automatically. I note that after my screen time out period of five minutes, the screen does power off, however when I wake up in the morning the screen is on displaying the clock screen - I guess email or some other notifications turn the screen back on.

Basically, can I change the behaviour so that when I put the TP onto the Touchstone, nothing special happens and this clock isn't displayed? I have an app that switches the screen off when the case is closed, and essentially this charging behaviour is interfering with this. I don't want the TP clock blazing away lighting the screen up all night.

Thanks,

Andy
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
Wow some refuse to do any work on their own....

If you want to shut the screen down all you have to do is hit the power button and the screen shuts down

As far as the Desk Clock app... You simply go into app manager and clear the defaults for it
[TouchPad General] Andysan:
Thank you for your reply - unfortunately the option to clear defaults for the clock is greyed out.

I'm puzzled by your sarcasm - no, I can't figure this out by myself as I can't identify the configurable part of android that triggers this clock front end. I had Googled it but I can't find a suitable answer there either. Whilst I can shut the screen off with the power button, as per my original post when I wake up in the morning the screen has come back on.

Cheers!
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
Then you have something installed waking your TP that we have no way of troubleshooting without some type of log.... when you shut the screen down there is no reason for Android to turn it back on unless YOU have EXPLICITLY given an app YOU installed permission to do so. As far as the clock... when you set the TP on the Touchstone one of two things happens... a dialog box comes up with the apps that can by default be activated when placed on Touchstone OR YOU HAVE designated a default app to do this....

Now if YOU can't remember which app YOU ALLOWED to run then you have one of two choices.... go through all the apps in app manager clearing all defaults OR wipe all data and start from scratch and pay attention to what you press this time
[TouchPad General] Andysan:

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately you are wrong.

I only have the clock app installed that triggers when the device docks - no other apps respond to this event, therefore when I dock the device I don't get presented with the option/choice, it just displays the clock as there is no alternative. I've found the best solution to be to install 'Screen Off ' from the market. This has an option to act on the dock event, and now when I put the device on the dock I get given the choice as to whether to show the clock or to power off the screen. This works pretty much perfectly, and without the clock showing the screen stays off, instead of coming back on randomly after I shut it off - therefore, I don't think that the clock was coming back on before due to notifications from apps/emails, but be cause the clock app itself was triggering - possibly when the device reaches full charge or something and temporarily disconnects from the dock or something, I don't know. In summary, you need more than one app installed that is coded to respond to the dock event, otherwise when you dock the device android just defaults to the dock event and powers the screen back on periodically. I have never explicitly enabled this behaviour, and without installing another app it seemingly cannot be changed or disabled.

I thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, but I think you should learn something from this thread - just because a problem may seem to be user error doesn't necessarily mean that it is - your post is completely wrong which is fine as I appreciate that you are just trying to help, but by getting all aggressive over it you've just ended up looking a little stupid. The forums should be all about helping people, not ridiculing them - hopefully this post will serve to help anyone out with a similar predicament.

Cheers.

Ignore cdzo72 - he's one of the most sarcastic members of this forum. He seems to have a hate on for anyone who has an issue with anything, and can't solve it for themselves. You get used to him, and ignoring him.

Thanks for posting that man, beginning to think it was just me. Guess every forum has one - hopefully if anyone else comes across this thread it might solve their problem too.

[TouchPad General] T-Keith:
Saw this post and was excited as I was looking for this same thing. Too bad someone had to ruin this post. Is it just the touchpad forum? Don't seem to encounter this on the other xda forums.
[TouchPad General] lewmur:
The clock app doesn't trigger itself. Mine charges all night and never turns back on. That said, it is almost impossible to move the pad while it's on the TS without charge disconnecting and reconnecting. And that will trigger the clock app. So, if you have the TS on an unstable surface that allows ir to be inadvertently "jiggled", that could cause the clock to turn back on.
[TouchPad General] Andysan:
Hey Man,

I don't know if it affects other devices to be honest. On my phone the clock app is configurable, but on my Cyanogenmod9 HP TP tablet it isn't something that you can change the behaviour of (if you tap the stock 'Clock' app it just locks the screen and displays a clock, you cant set any options like on my SGSII). I don't know if this is a feature of tablet OS'es in general, or just the CM iteration of Ice Cream Sandwich.

Either way, the 'Screen Off' app references working with a number of docks (blurb specifically references Sony ones) so I'd give it a shot and hopefully it will work for you. :D
[TouchPad General] buzz killington:
I had that problem too, it was very annoying. I installed dock no op from the market and it finally stopped waking me up. That seems like the only option since cm9 doesn't let you set the dock behavior.

Why can't i see my or any of this twitts at their twitter account?
[HTC One X] wph:
I am now following you on Twitter. I send my One X back for repair last week. Got it back today, unfixed. The repair center (Dynafix) couldn't find the symptoms and they send it back unrepaired, while I attached a letter and some pictures explaining the problems. Despite that they couldn't find it, I am really asking myself what kind of people work there. On Twitter I contacted HTC a few weeks ago and they asked me to let them know how it went, so I told them this story. No reply yet, but it's just minutes ago.
[HTC One X] ToddeSwe:
I'm so lucky in a way, my carrier is very nice and they have noticed the problem now. So next week a new DOA to see if i can get a working device...

Feeling really bad about your position, i'm really hoping that your problem will go away when the next update is here then. What are your options? Someone? What can he do about it?
[HTC One X] wph:
Updates won't fix this, it's plain and simple a hardware problem, took me quitte long to accept :p. How long do you have your phone? DOA is normally only the first two weeks. I made a small movie reproducing the wifi problem, just press your phone just above the volume rocker and signal shoots up more than 20 dBm, which is really a lot. Movie here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26248241/VID_20120602_152633.m4v
[HTC One X] ToddeSwe:

Mine is made in Taiwan, it's a HT23.

New Router works much better with my HOX!

Hi!

Bought a new router today Netgear WNDR3700 and it works much better.

I don't have to use static ip or any of the known tip to make wifi usable.

SO, i've not heated it up yet using charger and GPS, so lets see.

Speaking of GPS, today i turned on GPS and oh my god how bad it was.

So something is terrible wrong, but WHAT?! No one is telling us nothing.

For thoose who can press and hold it must be hardware related, but mine, is it just poor programming?

I'm so regretting my choice of device now.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahdeen:
Its been a few months now that i have been noticing that my facebook app is using around 75% of my data plan capacity.

for starters i have 250mb every month as free data plan. it never used to happen initially but suddenly since feb/march my fb app has started using up data plan so much that within 4 days it would have used up 75 % of data plan!!!

after uninstalling fb from my phone, i checked data usage for 2 months and lo and behold it never went more than 75%!!

i have switched off all the app syncs through the phone settings menu and also the app settings menu and still this happens!!!

the second most data usage app is the Android OS Services...

any ideas guys????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTurtles:
A few things:

-How often does your Facebook refresh it's news feed?

-Does this happen when you're signed out of the app?

-Try installing Onavo, you can limit the app's usage from there if you don't manage to solve the problem

-Did you update the Facebook app around that time? If so, try installing an older version of the Facebook app and see if the issue goes away.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahdeen:
@RootTurtles: answer to your questions

1. i have set the app to never refresh.

2. i have never tried that.

3. I forgot to add that I also use onavo ever since i notice the quick depletion of my monthly data cap. i have set restrict to wifi on almost all programs including fb, viber and plenty of other apps. Out of all these fb will continue data transfers even on my network.

4. the fb app is the latest version. how and from where will i get previous versions of fb???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTurtles:
I've attached version 1.8.2 of the app, give that a try.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahdeen:
i still have the same problem after installing fb version 1.8.2.... first i tried with the app signed in!!! the same thing happens...then i tried by signing out of the app...still the same......too much data usage!!!!! oh and i forgot to add that the fb app causes my battery to discharge very quickly....so in other words......the title should read...."facebook app causes extreme data usage and extreme data discharge!!!"

after that i un-installed the fb app everything is back to normal!!!! no extreme data usage or battery discharge!!!

- In the latest FB official app...go to settings..change the refresh interval to ..Never
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahdeen:
@woodstock i have tried all what you said but still fb uses data......i have uninstalled it now...only thing i don't understand is your first point

"In the phone setiings .. go to Data usage..select the facebook in the listed app..click the restrict background data box"

i don't have that option. i'm running gingerbread 2.3.5 I9100XXKI4 with kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700root@DELL143#2

facebook 25 GB background data in 10 days

Hi all

i have bougt The new THL 5000 mobile phone and changed the factory rom with dimid v3 Rom. I played around and one month later, i receive the incredible invoice from the Provider: the shocking amount of CHF 3000.-, about 3200 US$ for 25GB data traffic is wanted from me. I cant beleve how this could happen. The included traffic Limit in my contract is 500MB only. This means, that 1GB costs 100 Swiss Francs.

The screenshot 1 Shows, that Facebook has caused the large traffic. Screenshot 2 Shows that there is Zero foreground traffic, all Background traffic. This shows, that not i initiated the download, the Facebook-app startet from itself. I also wonder, what the hell did they download to my phone, or even worse, what did they upload?

I immediately uninstalled the app.

Problem:

The provider is not willing to reduce the invoice, because he sent me 3 SMS to warn me. In fact i did not interest my much, because i was not realizing, that a down-or upload is ongoing right now.

What shall i do? it must be a faulty Facebook app, which caused this traffic. In my opinion Facebook must pay this invoice. I could not find a Facebook customer or complaint helpline. Does anybody know how this is possible, or where i can get help? Please help!

Thanks
