try ringdroid. also do you have the folder structure correct in your sdcard for the notification sounds.

I have them like in my G1 - in a media/audio/ringtone, notification, and alarms

i dont have this problem. make sure your gps is switched to be active and not just use cell towers

Reboot corrected the issue.

this happend to me a simple restart solved the problem. this also happend on htc touchflo 2d, 3d on windows mobile so im going to say this is a htc bug.[/QUOTE]

Seems inconvienient that I would have to rebooteverytime to correct this ;)

Another thing that has come up - My Homescreen is not rotating (yes it is set to) unless I open the keyboard (which is loose already).
[myTouch 3G Slide General] hobbiteer:
Not a bug. That's what it's supposed to do. Go go 2.1 and sense UI. You can set the default action for this in your settings

Menu > Settings > Connect to PC.

************

I have noticed, the keyboard backlight doesn't always light up. I'll go to respond to a sms and the backlight for the menu buttons and the keyboard doesn't light up.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] donepate:
The keyboard is lit based on the light sensor. No light, it's on. Enough light, it kicks off.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] i0nicx:
here's a bug that i noticed, at least i think it's a bug. volume rocker/ringer volume does not control the notification volume(aka txt messages). any ideas on that one?

wasn't a problem on my cliq(which was my first android phone, slide is my second)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MrOtsKrad:
Had something last-night ping me when I was messin with home screens. After going back to SenceUI app icons were being selected with out my hand touching the screen, it happened about 4 times. Didnt activate the icon, just highlighted it, and would go away when I would select something else.

I thought it was my case or something, cause I was holding it, but then I saw wesgamer say something similar to the touchscreen messing up as well.

It was small and brief, but note worthy none the less.

Im also having this issue, happened on Home screen and DeskClock. DeskClock is fixed by Opening the keyboard, letting it go horizontal, and then closing the keyboard. Home screen, not so much.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] slvrblt:
I've run into a couple little bugs too...

Sometimes a text message thread will become out of order (the message I sent gets placed below the message I received as a response).

It also hapened in the very beginning when I only had a few texts in total on the phone so I dont think its related to having too many mesages stored.

A couple times the screen decided to scroll all the way up or down without cause. It has only scrolled down in a text thread and only up on a web page (XDA actually). I had a hell of a time trying to read something from the middle of a text thread! haha
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
I have had the messaging icon read 1 and all of them be read. I have also had the messages get out of order if text are sent back and forth between a minute.

I have one contact with a different ringtone and that ringtone never goes off, always the default one.

I've also had a problem with sd mounting, I had mine set to charge only and I hooked it up to my laptop and no option would come out to mount. I tried changing the setting to automatically mount and that didn't work either. A restart did.

Lastly, I had a theme downloaded from the theme site and had it as my installed theme. I went to the theme selection page and uninstalled the theme while still having it set as my theme and this made the phone crash and restart.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] i0nicx:
slvrblt - same thing happens to me

turboyo - I have had the messaging icon read 1 and all of them be read. I have also had the messages get out of order if text are sent back and forth between a minute.

i have that happen too. anyone not have their phone vibrate when text messages are received when vibrate mode is selected?

also sometimes when i'm writing a text message the cursor will jump around, anyone experience that?

this is a great phone with so many little dumb problems lol
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fl_jeep:
The stock messaging app is garbage compared to Handcent and Chomp.

I was able to get rid of the duplicate Faves notification, but I can't remember how. :-) Helpful, huh? I did go through the built-in "Manage Applications" via Settings and did some Force Stop on the redundant apps. I also went through via the Tools in Astro with Process Manager and took out a few things. So far, it seems as the management of processes being run is not as efficient as stock Android. Using the same process managers as on my G1, I always have much, much more to kill in the Slide. This has beat up my battery life and stopping several of these "unused" items has helped, but some apps have caused processes from several other apps to run and bloat the memory.

A couple other people mentioned it but Rindgdroid for creating notifications: sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Most of the things I've done I saved as a notification. I've used the pre-installed Voice Recorder then opened up that saved file in Ringdroid and saved as a 'Notification'. It's then shown up via Settings/Notifications in K9 Mail and the Gmail app. I have not tried this for other types of notifications.

So far, I love the phone. The standard "complaints" but have really taken to Swype as an alternate to the keyboard, especially for shorter messages. Genius is super. This is a phone that desperately needs a custom ROM though to help alleviate the excess stuff.

[HD2 General] hassan023:
does anyone know what facebook syn data ( on/off ) does in the communication manager? I had it on and had all the pics syned with my contacts. when i put it off i lost the pics. Does this automatically send me notifications like push emails to me from facebook? (even though i have this off in comm manager)

or it just basically updates my contacts to fb whenever i go online to fb like status and pics???
[General Questions and Answers] erebusting:
First a little background on me:

- Hey I am currently a college student (hopefully I will get my A.S. & A.A. in computer science in the summer of 2011 -yes, I am eligible for both due to the fact there was no A.S. in Computer Science when I started attending college consecutively in 2007, so why not?...haha)...

- I would really love to be a Software Engineer some day (I was originally thinking Systems Software Engineer, but Applications Software Engineer will still be great for me)...

- I have a lot of experience troubleshooting and fixing /repairing / building computers starting from when I was about 12 years old when I set up my first PC (not build, mind you) and I used to always mess with the computers in Elementary (figuring out how to exit the schools provided screen and getting to a regular desktop etc...)

-Now I do not have any of what you may call formal experience (I never had an actual job with computers)...I have a lot of warehouse job experience though...and lately I was getting worried that it will hold me back, because I do not know how to get into the job field....

- I would like to get a masters degree (in Computer Science), hopefully with honors if everything continues as it is. (currently a 3.4 Cumulative GPA...)

Some of my thoughts / ideas / questions:

+I was thinking of trying to get some kind of IT Tech or support job to start off in the field (though jobs are scarce right now, so that may have to wait at least until I get my degree)...Is that a good thought?

+I currently have some experience with Visual Basic .net, C, C++, IA32 Assembly and now have developed my first Android app in Java.

Now I really would like to be a Software Engineer one day, so how would you suggest I go about doing so? Do you have any advice / ideas / comments @ all for me? Could you in the field give me some tips or even tell me your story (short OR long, I would love to hear it either way) about how you got to where you are & your current thoughts about it (do you like it?, what would you have done different? How and Why ?)

-in advance:

Thanks A LOT!

I am sort-of worried about my situation because sometimes it gets a little discouraging and/or confusing on what to do to get where I want to be....
[General Questions and Answers] erebusting:
how come no one has responded? there seems to be many educated people here and I am sure someone has something to say... also I am sure there are many of you who happen to be in some type of IT field, I would like to hear from you all...

Please advise me, I am in need of a little advice and guidance...
[General Questions and Answers] otherworld:
Just one possibility:

Do a computer science degree and make sure you get a 2:1 or more. Work for a recognized (so your CV looks good) large IT consultancy for a couple+ of years working for lots of their clients so you get varied experience. If you can, get some Finance (in combination with your IT experience) experience there. Learn a language that's particularly commercial (I recommend C# combined with your C++ - plus other areas of Microsoft .Net - asp.net, win forms, smart clients, full n-tier development, full life cycle development). Then go IT contacting where the real money is - with C++ and C# and Finance you'll be able to get the best paid contracts - assuming you're personable and committed too.

Does that help?
[General Questions and Answers] corrie:
My advice, get a real job.....Software Engineers are a dime a dozen.
[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
+1, i've met too many software engineers in college, and that is the main reason why i stay away from the computer field (i'm a biomechanical undergradate student, specializing in auto design or biomedical engineering)

1.) you need to go higher than an associate's degree, i suggest going for a bachelores in computer science than maybe some experience before going to get your masters, if you're lucky maybe your company will pay for your tuition

2.) specialize, as said theres too many software engineers in this world, therefore you have to specialize.

3.) engineering is the combination of art and science remember that

4.) for a tech job, since you're still a student with no real work experience in the computer field, i suggest getting certification such as A+ certification

5.) always have a backup plan, i was thinking network security personally since i like tinkering with things lol
[General Questions and Answers] gifted1570:
d k of the new add for breaking its still up no more, whaaaatttt?
[General Questions and Answers] erebusting:
wow that is discouraging...

I am actually planning on going higher than an Associates degree for sure, hopefully a masters, but if not then a bachelors at the least...

hmm, now you have me thinking... should I really try to go for something else? I was excited thinking about being a software engineer ...
[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
I'm not saying that you shouldn't become a software engineer, but i'm just implying that they're not in high demand currently. But that could be said about any job, you just have to be very good at what you do and you'll find a job in no time =P

I'm suggesting that you specialize in something a bit more specific than software engineer, just like there are specializations of mechanical engineering (auto,aerospace,bioengineering,energy systems... etc) that way you can still do what you love (programming i assume) but to a more specific goal.

The reason i tell you to get higher than an associates (2 years) is because the average job now a days require atleast a bachelors degree. My Mom, a tiny little asian women, has a computer science degree and works for the government, its about 60k starting and shes been there for a few years so now she makes just under 80k ;] but you need atleast a 3.0 gpa and a bachelor degree

http://www.earnmydegree.com/online-education/learning-center/education-value.html

just look at the difference in salary!

don't worry about what degree to get either, you can complete all of your undergraduate studies before you have to choose a major, thats about two years of undergrad study
[General Questions and Answers] erebusting:
thanks for that advice...

I currently have over a 3.0 which I am trying to maintain...

I am in California, where seems to be a dense pack of tech jobs around (am I wrong though?)...

Also, I have not looked at many colleges around and what specific section of computer science they specialize in, after I do that though- I will have an Idea of what programming I want to specialize in (any ideas of what may be popular?)...

I know theres like robotics programming, gaming programming, and there are others I am not too aware of which I will have to look into....

Hey I just want to say I appreciate each and every comment here, it really helps chatting about it with you all...

I do look forward to more comments also from different people, I know things aren't the same for everyone and maybe some others have views on a different side of the story...idk, but thanks so far!!

is there any way to remove the clock from the notification bar? if your have something like beautiful widgets running it looks almost stupid having 2 clocks there. or at least have the option in settings to keep the clock or remove the clock?

i can understand the other aspect of when your in applications people would like to see the time in the notification area. but i just wana see if i miss it or not.

i gave it a quick google, and most of the responses were fairly old and for different handsets. just wondering if it is possible?

im running SuperE 1.0.1 on a 32A, cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sleepyfu:
something to try.

check your spareparts app (mine is ver. 2.1_update1) it has user UI tweak at the bottom.

Clock can be set to hidden. (may not work)

while your are there, make the clock color to match your status bar. In case the hide clock part didn't work. (try transparent as well)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NguyenHuu:
yeah in cyanogen's latest rom he includes a modded spareparts app that lets you control this. maybe you can rip it out of his rom and put it into yours if your version isnt the same. maybe can you download it from the market as well, not sure if that version is up to date.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] oohwee13:
thanks buddy! had no idea i should even look in there =)

the hide clock option doesnt work for some reason, even after rebooting. but changing the transparency to nothing hides it.

only thing is now it leaves an ugly gap where the clock used to be lol. i need to try find a way to remove it completely!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
I tried hiding mine as well one day (a week ago maybe?), and it didn't work. Then yesterday I noticed, out of the blue, there was no clock in the notification bar. LoL So it did remove it, eventually.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] losinc:
it works just fine you'll just have to reboot a couple times
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] oohwee13:
rightly so! i was wrong before, it does work. like losinc said u just need to reboot a couple of times. the changing of colour of the clock works too. just took a few times to get it right =)

i've got most everything working over bluetooth

been able to make file transfers, import contacts and sms via bluetooth

but i set out on this project in hopes to have a working microphone for my pc using the phone and/or earbud/mic with oem htc adapter

i do not own a bluetooth headset and my pc is across the room...so figured this is worth a shot

first

my setup:

sprint touch pro on ppcgeeks clean bazzle rom (fairly recent build)

IVT Bluesoleil 6.4.249.0 (PC bt app)

HK-730 usb dongle (pc) (it is bt 2.0 +EDR and yes a2dp capable)

The IVT software seems to function and i am shown via right click the ability to mute advance audio, which is semi working (all i get is static).

The bluetooth sco audio microphone shows in my pc audio recording devices, but when unmuted by IVT all i get is clicks and static

It somewhat responds to my voice...i mean the sound meter grows somewhat correspondingly...

but nothing is coming through...besides strange click sounds and static.

i'm so close i can taste it...

my first thoughts were the sample rate and bitdepth

the pc speaker outputs are selectable...but nothing near the mic recording rate

i may be up the creek as my pc has an inferior realtek audio alc662.

My other thought was some kind of setting on the phone.

Hands free,stereo audio, & com connections are all selected in the bluetooth settings for the connection to my pc.

i figured it was worth a post on the forums for some possible solution
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
first I would read the info about how to get a normal bluetooth headset working as mic on a pc

http://www.google.com/search?source...set+as+mic+for+pc&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

could very easy just be

1. your pc's bluetooth stack don't support that bluetooth profile

2. your fuse don't support that bluetooth profiles

After I flash my hd2 to a different rom do I have to run HSPL to install other roms or can I just flash the rom without running HSPL.

Thanks in advance!!

I am currently running KUMARS ROM V2.0 on my 1024 htc hd2/leo
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:

HSPL only has to be loaded one time. Once it's embedded into your system it stays there until you get rid of it or change back to the stock version. You will have to go into the bootloader every time you want to change ROM's, but you will not have to modify your HSPL version.

I was having the same problem...No matter what ROM I went to, I couldn't JIT without a boot loop. I switched to Aloysius 2.1 and JIT finally worked, and with overclock. I am getting ~5.1 mflops in linpack, whereas before with just overclock I was getting ~3.2...It definitely sped up my phone. On my sister's stock 2.1 she gets 1.9-2.2...so I've more than doubled the speed of it! Try it out, and see if JIT will work on it. Don't forget to wipe everything before flashing.
