go to clock settings>alarms and click on one alarm which you want...let's say first one..you will see numbers,description,alarm sound...etc

click alarm sound and instead of clicking a tone,just click the side button (volume) and you will seethe green bar as if you were changing your ringer volume...just set it to desired level

and note that this has nothing to do with phone being in vibrate or silent mode..it will ring regardless

i had the same issue until i figured out how to deal with it

and trust me...the phone itself ad the alarm are reliable
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhedgehog:
I agree with both of these answers.

I had exactly the same problem before i added the clock to the ignore list. It will still show the alarm as activated, but it will not ring.

Do both and you should be fine.

shutting down third party apps with a task manager is one thing , but leave the pre-installed android apps alone. they're running for a reason, dammit :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noShame:
Thanks guys you were right the taskkiller did kill the alarm, it appeared still to be active in the settings and icon in the notification bar (that confused me) but the alarm did not go off. Added it to the whitelist and tested a couple of times - worked fine!

Why does it not work when turned off? The clock keeps the time while the phone is off, so it seems natural that the alarm would also work - maybe a 2.1 update? Older phones would power up for the alarm..

Thanks again!

i use advanced task killer free and everything works..no problem with such things...

i switched to ATK because taskiller seemed to consume too much memory

i tried ATK while taskiler was on and i had ...25-30 mb less memory then i uninstalled taskiller and got those back....

strange...how can a utility consume so much ram

Hi,

I upgraded to official ROM upgrade (ROM version: 2.17.707.1) for my HTC Diamond 2.

I realized it is rather sluggish when it comes to launching programs, and sometimes the menu links at the bottom of screen disappear. Anyone experience that ?

Anyone has any tweaks or improved ROM to overcome this problem ? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ZinFab:
search in the Topaz thread or go to htcpedia(dot)com. You'llf ind plenty custom roms.

I was curious if a fullscreen home screen is possible? Which still included everything on the notification bar. So instead of white or black like alot of themes out there it would be more of the background still including the icons and such.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
I dont think so....i havent seen it so far...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asb123:
home++ gets pretty close to what you want and looks beautiful
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meltus:
home++ is fantastic but i think he wants an invisible notification bar with all the icons still there, right?

In which case, people have been trying for ages but i'm pretty sure it can't be done.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenameismax:
Yeah thats what I'm asking. I have a BB Storm 9530 and I was able to make my themes like what Im asking.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
People tried to do it before but as soon as you add some transparentcy to the status bar it just shows black in the background. If you 're determined enough, you can colormatch your status bar to the backgound that you use and make it work that way although it sounds like too much work to me.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
The main problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn only to the bottom of the status bar.

The second problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn by the Launcher itself rather than being drawn UNDER the launcher.

And... well I don't like Windows Mobile. It's slow. It's very slow. That, and all the new apps are for Android or that, uh, iPhone thing.

Thing is... I hate Android. What I've used of it... it's just bad. Like the web browser... I have to press a fake hardware button to bring a search up? And like... the web address bar is all laggy. I don't know. It was a pain. It was a Droid Eres, though my cousin has the Droid... Droid.

I also don't like the big list of apps. Why can't we get categories to stuff them in to organize and clean up the clutter?

Like, does it get better when you use it? Or is it just still unpolished? I mean... I shouldn't like Windows Mobile more than that, should I? (Or should I just wait for a big, badass HTC phone with a real keyboard like my Fuze has now?)

I just created a "videos" folders under the sdcard folder and put some mp4 files in the folder. Then I unmount the sdcard from my mac and got into gallery. but the gallery cannot work anymore. it's showing a white strip in the middle of the screen..... what do i do? :confused::confused:

[HD2 General] m_bardugo:
No matter what i do and even if i choose the memory card, the game installs itself into main memory.. :confused:

How do i move it to the memory card????
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Oh yeah, so annoying. That's why i don't get any gameloft games. They make good games but you have to be really dumb to allow installation only on the main memory, and their games are not small!!!
[HD2 General] Nagrom Nniuq:
I have a couple Gameloft games on my storage card, but the may have come from "alternate" sources. Anyhow, if these "alternate" sources made it happen, there must be a way.
[HD2 General] harddisk_wp:
The way is to patch the installer.dll and the hardcoded references in the apps themselves. Screw those mamafuckers for not allowin' ppl to put the crap on storage cards.
[HD2 General] maw:
this sucks! I also found this out, I was wondering what was causing my main memory to reduce, found out that eventhough you chose storage card it still installs to the main memory. I'm wondering, can you use a program such as SKTools to move the application to the storage card? Has anyone tried this? If not, I'll give it a try and report back....
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
Hi. I also wanted to try that with SK-Tools, but for some reason I cannot find the option within the program anymore. If you try, then let us know if it works, and how to do that with SK-Tools. THX!
[HD2 General] maw:
I also can't find the option, I followed the instructions in SKTools, move application, installed programs ---> action, you don't get the option to move application. Maybe Gameloft has incoded something that doesn't allow the program to be moved. I give up! If anyone knows how to move it, then I'm all ears!
[HD2 General] m_bardugo:
still no answer..anyone???
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I've not done it myself but I believe pocket mechanic can move them.
[HD2 General] biokeks:
No,.. pocket mechanic neither sktools are able to move them to storage card. This realy s*cks.. :(

[HD2 General] Beefheart:
Strange, I have moved numerous applications and games from my main memory to my storage card using Pocket Mechanic, including demos downloaded from the marketplace.

Select Relocate.

Select Relocate Installed Software (Applications).

Tick:-

- Move Files And Folders

- Update Registry References

- Update Shortcut References

- Update .unload Files

Select the software you want to move and let it do it's magic. Works a treat.

Not really a fair comparison. My external hard disk isn't always plugged into my PC as I use it on both my Xbox 360 and Wii. However, my memory card is never removed from my HD2.

Hi guys,

I dont know if this has already been discussed or if anybody has had the same problem,

The proximity sensor that is supposed to turn off the display while in call only works when i make a call. If i am receiving a call then the display stays on and i end up ending the call accidently will my cheek.

I was wondering if there is a fix or app to sort this out. I am looking for something that purely sorts this problem out and dont really want any other features etc.

Many thanks,

[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
To all dev :) is it possibile to integrate in your roms the possibility to abandon the use of FAT32 in sdcard data partition and use a more secure and stable (no data loss!!!) ext file system?

Cause i think so much people are complaining about too much data corruption over the ooold FAT.

Thanks all!
[G1 Android Development] shadowch31:
I have more data loss on the ext file system!

Besides fat32 will stay for the simple fact what you suggest will eliminate 85% of pc users (windows) being able to transfer files from pc to sdcard.

How about actually thinking before posting?
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
^^^^ well said ^^^^
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
i was thinking about you can choose if use FAT or ext, i tried to format the fat32 as ext but it was not mounted by android. Was it my fault?
[G1 Android Development] gamin92:
http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html

Works fine for ext3 too.
[G1 Android Development] Archont:
Just use adb to transfer things to your sd card. This is easy and fast, and it works no matter what filesystem you use on your data partition.

Did you do a surface check of your sd card after your data loss on the ext3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] shadowch31:
Oh dear, now ask yourself what are the majority of computer users using as there file system? How do you propose those that do not have rooted phones go about file transfer?

Seriously think about it....
[G1 Android Development] xabierd:
Whats the problem of supporting both fs?

I wouldn't care If my phone didnt support fat32 and it's possible to add ext support for windows
[G1 Android Development] Archont:
I thought about it for a short moment. If you don't want something else than fat on your device why don't you just read other threads?

Leaving fat behind for a filesystem that was develloped after the 1980s is a good idea, and as far as my knowledge about android goes it is only possible on rooted phones. So this only applies to 10% of the users I guess.

And if you are satisfied the way it is just stay with what you have?
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
That's the fact, customs rom users are rooted :) i was asking if there could be problems (android side) when using ext, cause my last attempt failed
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
This would work, if we would just change the mount options from vfat to ext2. Should be easy to do. But I don't see a reason for that, as FAT works flawlessly.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
So.. Its a trusted file systems fault rather then the user and/or sd card?? This is like blaming a dvd for breaking your VCR because it was "made wrong" lol

Dude, do u think everybody is wrong couz they dont share ur view.....if somebody wants to use ext or fat thats a personal choice...........nobody is saying "let F** the fat32...i think he was looking for an alternative method for him...not for the 95% Fat32 users
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
Yeah, i'm just speaking about the possibility of choice , maybe from a menu to activate the fat or ext mount of the /sdcard

[G1 Android Development] tsukisan:
For the sake of argument could we at least look at this on the whole rather than argue it. At least one of our great developers has chimed in to say that it is possible and not only that but a simple fix withing the OS structure. With that in mind, aside from the incompatibility with the windows/dos computers, it seems very possible and for that reason should not be overlooked. Practically speaking it would not be very useful to most of us, but is would be useful to the creator of this thread and therefor may be useful to the rest of us if we would take the time to understand what all this would mean.
[G1 Android Development] MattKilla:
I get the point the OP is trying to make, and it's at least valid. Maybe not.. functional, but the ability to choose what FS we use would be kinda neat.

My contention would be that Linux'll read FAT32 and EXT, but Windows won't read EXT. So, as it is, FAT32 is a good choice for the mainstream. I honestly don't see what the pros and cons are for switching from FAT32 to to EXT, though. I haven't experienced data loss on either, so I can't say which one is more stable.
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
Shadowch, there's no reason to be hateful. And just so you know, ext 3+ filesystems are MUCH less prone to corruption than FAT. It's the reason Linux doesn't have the ridiculous system checks and corruption issues Windows does. You may have no use for an ext data partition, but it would technically be superior, even if it would be inconvenient to Windows users. So don't go out of your way to insult someone with a valid idea for development just so you can look like a smart little Senior Member looking down on the lesser members of this forum.

Moving on to address the real issue, I think this should be very easily doable... just mount the system on startup. The only issue I see is making sure you have your card partitioned in the right order, so that the data and apps2sd partitions aren't mixed up. Unless you can somehow use one partition for both, which would be awesome, but much harder. Or maybe have a script on boot.

:appsmount=0

:While appsmount==0{

: Checks the partitions on the sd

: Checks for a tiny file on every ext partition that simply "labels" the A2SD partition

: If a label exists{

: mount that partition for apps

: mount remaining ext partitions for data

: appsmount=1

: }

: else{

: Compare partition sizes and label the smallest ext partition > 100mb as A2SD

: }

:}
[G1 Android Development] tsukisan:
To continue what you were saying carnegie0107, what if we used ext2 for data and ext3 for apps2sd or if possible why not redirect everything from the apps2sd portion of the card to a directory within a single ext partition i.e. /sdcard/apps2sd/. I'm just throwing out ideas, I'm in no ability to make it happen, I just think it never hurts to have more options than what is expected.
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
The apps are already in directories... app, app-private, etc. The problem is in the way Android is setup... those directories have to be on a partition mounted under /data in order for the apps to run on the system... whereas our storage is mounted under /sdcard. I guess it would be possible to store all our apps as one file on the sdcard that's mounted as a virtual ext filesystem... this may even be better, as this would work even if the sdcard was entirely FAT. Would make A2SD a lot easier for newbies. The problem is that this is a LOT slower, and has some stability issues. Really I can't see any reasonable way of putting apps and storage on the same partition.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Technically speaking, the ONLY reason why the sdcard uses fat32 filesystem is to maintain compatibility with windoze. There is not a single other reason.

It is actually an obsolete, extremely slow, and error prone filesystem. It is very negatively affected by bad unmounts, power failures, etc.

ext2 suffers from some of the same problems, but is a little bit stronger.

In order to maintain proper data integrity on an external device, ext3 is a very good idea. It is very robust when dealing with weird events, like rebooting, locking up, etc.

ALL of the ext's have another huge advantage over fat32: filesystem security. Access to different files can be restricted to the particular application, however, this can actually be reduced in intensity by way of setting file and directory creation masks.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Agreed. MS needs to pull their head out of their @$$ and officially support at least Ext* file systems on Windows out of the box.

Until they do though (I'm not holding my breath) it's not feasible to replace Fat32 with Ext in AOSP, as not to alienate Win users. However, I'd love to see a custom ROM where this is done by default. Chances are if you managed to install the ROM on your phone, you're familiar with ADB enough to never need to mount the partition on your PC.
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
do you remember when microsoft fined TOM TOM cause it was using FAT on their navs?
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
meh, FAT works fine for me.

I don't see the need to change something that works fine with something that will also work fine but may annoy over 50% of the community.

If MS come along with ext support then this will be a fantastic idea, but it's not feasible to completely remove FAT for ext atm.

But a choice, that would be nice :)

Yeah, but mounting and dragging files to the phone is much easier and convenient, especially for people who are just beginning to use adb. Even now, i still prefer to mount the sdcard if im on windows. typing takes too long :P
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Oh man! Negative 9,001 respek points right there (and un-follow on twitter :p) if you don't start acting like a true Linux geek immediately by bashing Windows.

Seriously though, for anything besides transferring lots of files at the same time, I don't even bother mounting. For windows there's auto-completion with Tab, and for the phone there's copy-pasta from "adb shell ls".
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
hahaha i do have a Linux Mint partition, do i get any points for that? :p

As soon as Linux has native support for my Guitar Port, my DigiDesign MBox2, Pro Tools LE and Photoshop, THEN it will be my main OS. For now though, windows ftw ;D

And i do use adb if i'm say moving an update file or something, but i regularly swap albums across and i like to be able to see whether the Album Art saved correctly. :)
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
waayyy off-topic

I know this is off-topic for the thread, but since we're talking about mount v. adb, I always mount when transferring files because adb gets stuck when pushing files larger than a couple MB. I have no idea why. It happens on Ubuntu, and also when I used Fedora and gNewSense. (I don't know about Windows, I haven't used a Windows machine at all in about a year except to check email at work.)

I just wanted to ask, am I the ONLY person to ever see this? Because it happened to me on two different computers w/ 3 Linux distros...

EDIT: now that I remember, I don't think I actually tried on gNewSense.
