LOL, damn. First Post, Now I want to know... Did you really just sign up to help him out like that? wow, hahahahaa. your awesome <3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Ok,

Took my first weekend motorcycle ride using the Evo as my GPS and weather watcher. In the past my little Raphael has done these tasks excellently and I have come to rely on using this type of technology when I got on a random road trip.

BUT...my browser let me down!! On a couple of fronts.

Why does the Evo's browser not play animations? Example, I usually have Weather Underground (mobile) loaded in the browser. They have an animated radar that is extremely useful in plotting my trips when rain is in the neighborhood.

On the Raphael (WinMo6.1), with Opera, the animation runs great. The zoom wheel thingy on the device is tricky, but usually can get big enough to actually see enough detail.

On the Evo today, I could not get any animation on the map. Animation is important because I need to know what DIRECTION the weather is traveling. A static image tells me nothing about where the weather will be in 15 minutes.

I got home and loaded up Opera Mini 5 on the Evo...still same. No animation. Even worse on Opera...there is NO ability to zoom in?!?!? Is there no way on the Evo to zoom a web page? (Double tap did nothing, pinch/zoom did nothing, menus have no option to zoom.) Basically Opera is for crap and it will be gone.

But...please tell me why this is not working. Visit the website...the animation is NOT flash. Pretty sure the whole animation part is some kind of ASP...but don't ask me.

Thought on how to fix this? I really need this functionality as I live in tornado alley and use it not only for riding but also when the skies turn green and temps drop...no really, just used the Raphael for that about three weeks back.

Ah ha...damn.

Anyone know if a custom ROM might have this added in?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Oh hey,

Anyone that is interested in this, you might want to try staring that thread on google. Show that it is important, regardless of them setting it at medium.

(And I will just continue to post to my own thread...:^)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StealthTH:
I use weatherbug elite for animated maps and radar. There is even a radar widget, not bad for 1.99. The standard free weatherbug app does not have animated radar.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seankent4uf:
A few things I would try - first, download Radar Now from the market. It has a full screen animated radar feature, is fast and uses either GPS or cell network to get your location. The graphics aren't crisp and it has limited zoom, but it gets the job done and you can quickly launch it right from your apps menu.

If that doesn't work for you, have you tried Weather.com? I know mw.weather.com has animated radar - I'm looking at it on my EVO right now. :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soupskin:
Weather Channel app does animated radar maps. Used it to watch for storms on my last ride down to Florida.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soupskin:
My EVO would overheat in my tank bag so I had to keep it in my jacket instead. I used Pandora to stream music and that way I knew I had a constant data connection for GPS directions too.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jhart15063:
Hey guys, im new to the rooting / ROM thing but think i might want to root my phone. If i do how can i backup my sd card if something messes up? can i copy the whole sd card onto my computer and if something happens just format it, recopy everything and reboot normaly? or is there another way i need to back stuff up. i want to root but i just want to be sure i can revert / fix it if i mess something up.

Thanks

Jhart
[Droid Eris Android Development] nova77:
yea copying everything to your comp from your sd card will be a good way to assure you wouldnt loose anything

So sometime between friday and today I've managed to crack the glass over my camera. I have no clue how this could have happened since I have it in a seidio innocase, and the camera rests below the case. I don't get why they didn't use the same type of glass for the camera as they did for the scree! :mad:

In any case, I'm not sure what to do to fix it? I'm still within my 30 days (barely!) but I'm not sure if it's a widespread enough issue for me to try and get them to replace it.

Any advice you guys can give me would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chococrazy:
They have to replace it if it's within 30 days. Go replace it no way you can fix that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huluk:
So basically tell them to fix it or that i'll return the phone and cancel my service? (i'm also a new customer)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail78:
well if you have the insurance that may help a little.. but im not sure if you would have to pay that crazy $100 fee
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
I'm not sure they'll take it back in the 30 days, since it's not a defect and the phone isn't in "like new condition." You broke it, so they probably won't accept it.

If you haven't purchased the phone insurance yet, I would just purchase that and then wait a while and attempt to get it exchanged that way. Also, a repair facility might be able to replace it..?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minjin:
As I said on another forum, if you end up pulling out the glass (because it is very easy to replace yourself), take some measurements. We should be able to get a sapphire lens that will replace it and be much more durable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
I read somewhere, either here or one of the other forums that the camera lens cover is actually made of plastic. The poster said he heated a pin and was able to push it through like a hot knife through butter.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rpowell:
Can this be done? I did a search and it didn't bring anything up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
do a search in google for windows mobile webcam.. theres a few programs that do it. Although I believe you have to pay for most. But they do exist.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rpowell:
I will, thank you.

Just found the link; http://www.ateksoft.com/orderWC.html says it turns winmo phone into webcam/audio for $10. I might try it and let you know.

Wow, there's a bunch of them out there, good search thanks

I FINALLY upgraded my TP2 to WM6.5 and now I'm wanting to update my nitification area icons to be better looking. I had a nice set for TF3D and I'm wondering if the same install would work for SenseUI.

Also looinh for a 1% battery monitor fix for WM6.5.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fertyop:
I find that my phone can't keep up with typing when I'm writing an SMS. I don't think I type that fast but it constantly has to catch up, the screen is usually 2 or 3 words behind me when I type.

I'm using the stock MMS program MMS Composer Version 5.2.0.22. Can anyone recommend some other MMS program or some tips on how to improve it's speed. The program itself is slow in general as well, constantly freezes for a few seconds and stuff like that.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\InitialDelay

check that value and maybe decrease it (e.g. to 0), not sure if it helps but worth a shot
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
A* for your contribution to solving the problem!

and i'd install Advanced Config and increase some of the performance settings there like the glyph cache to 32KB and File System Cache to 8MB and filter chahe to 16384

This worked for me so might be worth a try
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fertyop:
Draken, just tried that and it didn't help. It may have helped a bit but still lags behind quite a bit.

comeradealexi, I've had all those settings turned up for months so I can't do that.

I hope someone can help me fix this.

I may just want to flash my phone but I can recall when I did it with my last X1 it didn't help.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEGABYTEPR:
Hi

I purchased my AT&T 3G compatible Nexus One the first day it went on sale, I just updated to Froyo and I notice that sometimes my screen fails to respond. I have to power on and off my screen for the issue to go away. Some examples are when im typing and I hit and key and it chooses another one or i'm trying to scroll on the menu and even if im picking something from the top the phone highlights the menu icon at the bottom. Are this issue just with my phone? has anybody been able to fix this?, If i call HTC support and they send me and new phone will it have the same issues?

Please guys let me know... this is driving me crazy:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
the screen on this phone blows... plain and simple... you will just have to get used to it...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEGABYTEPR:
do you think i should get rid of it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worker1:
Hi,

Don't get rid of the phone. You don't have to reboot, just lock the screen by pressing the power button, then unlock it. I've had it a couple of times but it goes away when I do that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Also, be aware that it's very sensitive to any part of your hand that might be leaning over the edge of the screen, or hovering over the touch buttons. For example if my finger is hovering over the home button but not touching it, and then I touch somewhere higher up on the screen, it may respond as if I had pressed menu.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
So...are you saying we are holding the phone the wrong way? Lol.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the nexus has this issue with the screen. its not a big deal, just lock the screen and unlock it, it fixes the problem. its some kind of mis calibration issue. yeah it sucks, but not the end of the world. only takes 2 seconds to fix it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Heehee. I guess Android isn't immune to that either. Nor is the EVO or Droid Incredible (not identical problems but they're still there). I think it's inevitable that as we try and jam more and more "magic" into a single unit, things start to crosstalk in unpredictable ways and glitches emerge.

I have to say, the touch-sensitive buttons on Milestone & N1 really throw off people who haven't used them before. If I pull up a picture or video and I'm showing it to someone, inevitably they clutch the phone with a finger on a touch button, and then I have to get them back into the app and explain what not to touch. That's one reason I'd rather have physical buttons such as on the Desire.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princeasi:
I have this touchscreen problem as well, and yes its a big deal for me! I spent $580.00 for this phone. This shouldnt be happening at all! I've tried all sorts of troubleshooting(deleting cache partition, updating to the latest froyo, restoring factory settings, tried without installing 3rd party softwares, etc..) before i finally came to the realization that this is a hardware issue. Ive tried narrowing down to possibly when and how it occurs, but you can't. It just happens when it happens. It's impossible to predict. When this problem occurs, watch closely to where the calibration is off. During the problem, the calibration is only off on the bottom half of the screen, more so close to the bottom right. The top part will work perfectly. You can test this out by swiping left to right or vice versa on the homescreen. This problem will also affect the Pinch-to-Zoom in Browser, and the ability to type correctly using the default keyboard or 3rd party's like Swype. I received an exchange thru HTC a couple days ago, and not only was this exact touchscreen issue prevalent in this unit, but also it suffered from the purplish screen tint. This issue seems to have existed since they first launched this phone, but for some reason there has been no fix for it. It's funny that the EVO received a software fix promptly after the issue was reported by many. Why not the N1?? Because it's hardware, that's why! Feature wise, this phone is by far my best PDA, I mean I really love this phone, but $580.00 is too much for such an issue to exist. I'm hoping that there's only a number of bad batches floating around. I would say, if i receive 4 exchanges, all with the same exact issue, i may look into a class action. I definitely wouldn't want to be stuck with this problem after my year warranty is up!

I haven't had the 'crazy screen' thing since FRF85B, I assumed they'd fixed it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luffyz:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bohlool:
not hardware problem

I encounter this problem a couple of times and I tested two things: useing trackball I ran touch sens app and tested the touch sensor, it was fine, second I killed all apps using a task man and it fixed the issue. I am on froyo.

Sent by my Nexus one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
I experienced this yesterday for the first time on FRF91 (unrooted Stock build). I couldn't press the "enter" button on stock keyboard. It just kept choosing Delete instead. Lock/unlock screen via power button sorted it.

So the problem is still there in latest build of FroYo (for me anyhow!)

Anyone else?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimsondr:
I've had this problem ever since I got my N1. Sometimes made me want to switch back to my iPhone! :D Makes it a lot harder for my son (2 1/2) to use the phone too.

Seems reports are mixed to whether froyo fixes it or not. But it gives me hope. I've been using CM5.0.8, holding out for their final release but this gives me a reason to try MCR.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquila:
I have upgraded to FroYo FRF91 but still see the same issue.

Sometimes I face with the calibration's flaw for the left bottom corner of the touch screen.

What a shame I have paid 750$ here for this phone. I really love it but this flaw screwed up all the pleasure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watercool:
i have two n1, one has this problem occasionally, the other one never. Both run same kernel, rom and apps

So it is a hardware issue? Maybe we can get htc to replace our phones.

Hello, I am new in this Android's world.

I have a HTC Magic, i the battery low very fast, :-D

Today thinking I make an idea, if is possible make or exist an aplicattion

that for example , every 15 or 30 minutes active 3g conection, and deactive after 5 or 10 minutes.

With this application the battery can low more slow, by other hand, this application is for people that not need 3g conection 100% day.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] serarra:
Hi, i installed the latest villainrom (12) into my hero, after having aHero for a long while.

Now, the telephone is more resposive, etc, but the sensors are not working anymore.

It doesn't rotate, the compass doesn't work.

I've installed a couple of applications to check the sensors, and all of them find the sensors, but stay initializing and get no data at all.

Gps, wifi, bluetooth, etc, everything works, is only the sensors.

I've tried clearing the information into recovery mode, no luck.

I've reflashed it, tried other images, no luck.

I've tried the solutions into the g1 forum (delete the akmd_set, replace the akmd file) but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas, guys??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] serarra:
No ideas guys?

I tried going back to the old ahero, that used to wrk, but is still not working.

When i open any of the sensor applications, the apps are able to detect them, but they don't get any data (They show 0,0,0 as coordinates or INIT as they are waiting for data)

I was reading that it could be maybe fixed with a sd diagnostic card, but hadn't been able to find the one for the hero.

Any ideas guys??

Please!!!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
Is there other camera software. My camera is barley passable. There is way too long of a delay till it actually snaps a picture by the time it does the subject has moved and most of the time just comes out blurry. With video if you pan even slowly its also blurry. Is this a hardware issue in which case were stuck or is it software in whcih case is there an alternate. Ive searched and found none. I read the posts about the plastic piece and was thiking of removing it because there is an improvement but what about dust getting into other plastic part on the lens which seems harder to clean. Thanks for any help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monomer888:
Which version of the Rhodium have you got?

I have a European GSM version, and the back cover has a hole in it and there's no extra clear plastic piece. Dust does sometimes get in, but nothing that a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth doesn't solve.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
I have the US sprint cdma version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monomer888:
Does that have the plastic on the back battery cover? I think the T-Mobile version had, but not sure about the Sprint one.

Anyway if there is a plastic piece on the battery cover, then removing might give you a bit of a better picture.

Also you can try the advice here:

http://mobilitydigest.com/decrease-the-blur-of-your-camera-really/

It works for some other HTC models (Fuze and Touch HD) and the brightness tweak seemed to work on my Touch Pro 2.

Finally, I don't know of any alternative camera apps. I've flashed a custom ROM on my phone which has an updated HTC camera app. The response is fine, although pictures can be a bit grainy (which is a kind of pay-off).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
thanks for the reply. im not sure about taking off the plastic altough i knoow it would help. im nervous about dust getting stuff getting in. Ill have to read about what others said about that. I read the link you sent and it seems to have really helped. Im not sure about one thing though:

To enable the frames per second on your

camera just make this tweak (click for original posting): HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/

Common and change EnableFrameRateInfo to

1

What does he mean and how do i do that?

Thanks again

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cgonzgo:
Wow my first post...anyway, both BSB Tweeks and Advance Config let you adjust your camera settings without having to do any registry changes. Hope that helps, I love my camera now :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monomer888:
It means change a registry key, but registry editing can be messy if you're not sure what you're doing, so always back-up if you do make changes. As cgonzgo says there are apps that can do the changes behind the scenes for you.

The thread on xda-developers for the Advanced Configuration Tool is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=418151

As to the specific key for displaying the frame rate information, this can be useful but not strictly necessary. As the article stated, just waving your hand in front of the camera to check for blurriness can be a quick-and-dirty way of seeing the difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
thanks. I downloaded advanced configuration and made the changes and there is an improvment.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monomer888:

[Desire General] ADeadlySpoon:
Hey there Desire users!

I just want to ask you all,

1) what do you think of the phone?

2) Would you recommend it?

3) What are the biggest problems you've had? Any fixes?

4) Is there lag at anytime that you think there shouldn't be?

5) What's the web experience like?

6) And probably most important for me, what's the SMS experience like? (can i please have a screenshot of that? :D)

Sorry for so many questions but I wanna know if the phone will be worth getting. :)

Thanks,

Luke.
