[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galt:
Wow, good call, that's exactly what it is. I'm using an app called No Lock to make it easier to access my EVO (it disables the lock screen). If I turn that off and unlock the device the widget scrolls.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morfie:
So the problem occurs with both Flyscreen and No Lock. However i changed Flyscreen to widgetlocker and it works fine!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbmatt11:
Anyone get it to work with No Lock?

I found a widget called NewsBeat which works with no lock, but it kills my battery life. I think its because the widget is working even when the screen is off

I've tried HTC messenging 1.8. Still too slow for my liking (until I can make it display only like 5 or 10 messages at a time at least).

I wasn't fond of stock messenging (hence my update to HTC).

Does anyone have a favorite of theirs?

I've heard Arcsoft SMS is good??

Thanks!

I was late to work this morning because my alarm didn't go off!!

If I dont use task killer before I go to sleep my batter drains about 70 % over night, but if I do use it my battery is fine, but my alarm doesn't go off.

Anyone else getting this massive battery drain or alarm not working?

Thanks in Advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thugsin313:
I am amazed to see that you are a senior member on this forum :p

Anyways, go to the task killer app and uncheck the clock app there, simple!

now the task killer will not kill the clock app, thus your alarm will ring n u will never be late or work again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wickedpenguin:
Im a senior member mostly from my Time in the Winmo section, not android.

Thanks for the answer, but not the smart ass comment.

You are welcome, and NO i dont wanna get banned :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrenW:
It may also be worthwhile looking into what is killing your battery time overnight - probably some sort of data tx/rx. Have a look around with Spare parts or something.

If you sort that out then you can dump the task killer, not always a good thing on Android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
By using a task killer, you are fixing the symptom, but not the cause.

As has already been said, killing the clock will kill your alarm, so nothing else needs to be said on that, but you clearly have an issue with a rogue app or something is keeping the phone awake if you are losing 70% battery overnight when it is not being used.

For reference, I lose between 5% and 10% overnight.

Dave

Im sorry but if you rely on a mobile phone to get you up for work then im suprised how u navigate through life lol ffs buy an alarm clock ya retard lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itachi46:
lol wut? why is he a "retard" for using his phone that has an alarm function o.o...

anyways as other have said you should check what is using up your battery.. (wifi left on maybe? ) also app killers arent as great as you probably think they are..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philje123:
I have had problems with mine before where the phone froze for some reason and the alarm didn't go off but never had the problems you describe. I also mostly plug it in every night. With Li-Ion batteries it's best to keep then between 20 and 80% with a full discharge/recharge from time to time.

Check in the battery status to see what has been using the battery.

Phil

I can't believe the anamosity from some members on here. Have you really nothing better to do that trolling around looking for comments to rip into!?

If he or I or anyone wants to use their phone that... oh... happens to have an alarm function on it then why not? I just don't get what your point is with that one. Just because someone uses their phone as an alarm and then their phone has a problem they are incapable of "navigating through life". "Oh no... the battery in the alarm clock I bought went dead and the alarm didn't go off"- are you then a retard because the battery went dead in their alarm clock!?

HTH

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
I agree... there is absolutely no need to be disrespectful to other members here on XDA or anywhere else for that matter. Some people do not consider other people's feelings, and do not realise how silly/petty/childish they appear to be after accusing others of being retarded or noobs - it is not necessary and it's not cool.

As the OP stated, he is new to Android (and is still learning), would not have used a Task Killer on WM, and obviously did not understand the full workings of Task Killers... but i presume that he basically understood the purpose of the app. May be a little naive but it is a simple and honest mistake to make.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odinbear:
100% with this post

I too am making the change from wimo to Android. I also had the same issue as the first poster. Was greatful for the sollution but not the other bit.

99% of posters on XDA are very easy on what may appear "silly" questions but its how you learn.

Its the 1% that get all the rest going, there are a couple of forums that look like a war is going on. Very funny to look at, but must make New users wonder what the f**k's going on. :eek:

Anyway that my bit.. And again thanks for the sollution. :D

Just saw this app and thought I'd share
[HTC Aria General] dmellenbruch:
now before everyone tells me to search, I definitely have, and have found a bunch. however, none of the suggestions are working.

I wan't to remove things like flickr, facebook, footprints, etc.

I have a rooted phone and have flashed the liberated ROM.

when I try to remove using adb devices I get either "file does not exist" or something regarding I only have read-only access, even though I input a command that supposedly gives me read-write access.

I downloaded titanium backup and removed apps from there, restarted the phone and they still remain.

Also downloaded root file manager, removed the apps, restarted, and they all still remain.

I've managed to backup all my system apps, but they remain in the /system/apps folder and they're bugging the crap outta me!

any help?

thanks!
[HTC Aria General] F_L_Abs:
I'd also like to know!
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
can you press (and hold down) the app icon and does a Delete button then show up on the bottom of the display?
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
The filesystem is mounted read - only. Having root permissions doesn't change this all by itself.

Try this:

You must be rooted

to mount the filesystem read/write: adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Delete the apk with whatever method

mount the filesystem ro again: adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
[HTC Aria General] dmellenbruch:
Still no luck. =/ I'm trying to remove flickr and facebook, mainly. I mount as RW, uninstall apps with root explorer or adb shell, remount as RO, the unit automatically reboots and after boot, the apps are still there and fully functional. Hmmmmm.........
[HTC Aria General] localyodel:
I have the same reboot issue. I did find a way that works on one of the threads here...

Boot into Clockwork recovery

./adb shell

mount /system

rm /system/app/whatever.apk

Maybe it will work for you too?
[HTC Aria General] Firearm:
Does not Root Explorer have read/write after you have rooted your phone and given Root Explorer Superuser Permission?. I see that option and it appears to delete the /system/app/whatever.apk just fine. Even doing a search after the apk is gone. However as soon as I reboot the device the .apk is back and the app is not gone.
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
I had the same issue, First i rooted and installed Superuser permissions, i uninstalled them and deleted them using Titanium Backup, use astro file manager to verify that the APk files were no longer in the directory then when the phone restarts all the aps come right back like nothing ever happened.

I got upset and just flashed the liberated b003 rom, If i had known that flashing that rom wouldn't wipe out my user data i would have flashed right from the start since all the ATT crapware was removed.
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
Summary please, what is the consensus or best way to achieve the OP question?
[HTC Aria General] redapex:
I was able to remove Stocks, Peep, Footprint, News, the stock Music player and some other stuff... Im in class right now so im trying to pull this off the top of my head and cant try it to verify. I'll post back later tonight when I get home the 100% method but I think this is it.

-boot into recovery

-Mount /system partition

-adb remount

-adb shell

-cd /system/app

***I used -ls to list everything in the folder on my mac, not sure what the command or you windows people would be. But that listed every .apk and .odex file in the /app directory***

-Locate the files you want to remove

- rm what-ever-file-you-want-gone.apk

- rm what-ever-file-you-want-gone.odex

***Then I ran -ls again to verify that the file was no longer listed in the directory***

-Reboot phone and enjoy.
[HTC Aria General] xdafly:
anyone tested if Droid Explorer works for this situation?
[HTC Aria General] M1m3R:
Thanks redapex. Your instructions were perfect.
[HTC Aria General] redapex:
Ok good. Glad i got it right...
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
No. Root and read/write access are two different matters. As it turns out, we don't have read/write access to /system reliably unless we are in clockwork recovery.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Good job. Now pay attention to the blackboard.
[HTC Aria General] friedice:
Was able to remove some of AT&T bloatware, but couldn't figure out the .apk file for AT&T Radio. Does anyone know?
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
AndroidMusic.apk
[HTC Aria General] friedice:
Removed it. Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
Thanks, those directions worked perfectly.

Just a side note, when typing the program you want to remove it IS case-sensitive.

Edit: I notice after removing a few apps that I now have an entry in my widgets menu called 0.0dip and I have no idea where it came from and it instantly crashes if I try to use it. Any insight?
[HTC Aria General] redapex:
Yeah... Sense seems to still be looking for elements that arent there. Best advice I have is to not click them:D lol really dont know what else to tell you unless someone might have any ideas how to get rid of them.
[HTC Aria General] hi2u2:
Go into settings --> apps --> manage apps. Find HTC sense and clear data to get rid of these residual widgets (0.0dip, false, and whatever else).

However, be warned that this will also reset your home screens and wallpapers to factory default.
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
That worked, thanks. Kinda dumb that it deletes custom scenes too but it can't be helped I suppose.
[HTC Aria General] linkraceist:
anybody know the windows commands?
[HTC Aria General] hi2u2:
The commands are exactly the same. Some points that may potentially be confusing:

1) You have to boot into ClockworkMod recovery first. Install it if you have not done so. http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

2) In ClockworkMod recovery, access Partitions Menu, and choose mount /system.

3) The rest of the commands, starting with adb remount, are entered exactly the same. They are entered in a cmd window opened to the Tools folder in Android SDK. You must download and install the SDK if you haven't done so.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Aria General] linkraceist:
ah, I was typing in "-ls" instead of "ls" /facepalm

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] leesiulung:
So at this time there is no quick way of just flashing the thing with a ROM that deletes everything and setups a stock Android setup?
[HTC Aria General] M1m3R:
There is no "quick" way. It looks like Unrevoked3 makes the rooting process easier. Once you're rooted, removing apps is pretty straightforward.
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
attn1 has a version of his Liberated Aria Beta2 rom which removes all of that AT&T bloatware, but still has the htc sense ui. it is the most complete rom for the aria at this point. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=708434

the only other custom rom around is jasonyumps Intruder 2.1 AOSP Clean Eclair Build, which sounds like it may be more what you're looking for. it is a standard version of 2.1 with no htc sense. there are still some issues, but it is mostly stable and usable. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715014
[HTC Aria General] Rudreax:
I was able to remove apps no problem, but whenever I remove an app that was on the Accounts and Sync screen (for me, Facebook for Htc, Google, News, Stocks, Weather), that settings option always crashes.

Is anyone else having this problem?
[HTC Aria General] asiancuta:
that's what i was curious about. if removing some of the HTC sense apps/widgets would effect other parts of the OS..syncing, sharing.

i'd like to be able to remove Footprints, Stocks, and Flickr. and i know these are intergrated into other parts of the system.
[HTC Aria General] Rudreax:
Flickr and Footprints seemed to be fine with me; I removed both and have had no problems so far.
[HTC Aria General] asiancuta:
they still show up in sharing options? wouldn't mind shortening the list of possible sharing to just gmail, mms, and/or bluetooth sending.
[HTC Aria General] Rudreax:
Nop. They're gone from that as well.
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
If you remove any app that has an entry in Accounts & sync it will crash. I found this out when I removed the stocks app
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
I'm having an odd issue. In the past I was able to remove apps with this method, but I am trying to do it now on ubuntu and I am being told it can't remove the apk "Directory not empty". I've tried rm -rf which should do the trick, but it still doesn't work
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
i didn't run into any issues removing plenty of htc apps from the phone with the method mentioned in this thread. i removed all the apk and odex files for whatever program i was looking to give the boot. now, maybe it went better for me because i'm not trying to sync with anything like outlook or htc sync.
[HTC Aria General] Stripeotter:
I'm also having this issue. Footprints must die.

Any ideas?
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I had wondered if there had been any popular interest in removing more apps. I often find FM Radio, Footprints, Friend Stream, IM, Latitude, Peep, and Talk running. Sure the app killer takes them out, but why give them even a moment of RAM when I have no interest in ever using them? Can these be added to the remove list without detrimental effects? Rooting and flashing this liberated ROM was scary enough...I don't trust myself with deleting files. Can they consider adding these removal to the liberated ROM?
[HTC Aria General] nrvate:
My experience says the safest method is to...

boot into clockwork, mount /system via the menu, connect usb, adb shell, modify /system, unmount /system via menu, reboot.

-N
[HTC Aria General] kopimi:
Hopefully this inst considered too much of a bump for an old thread, but I just wanted to point out that you shouldn't be removing the apps, rather, you should mkdir a new directory, preferably on the SD card, and move any unwanted apps to there. That way if you run into trouble (Like I did with the "Stocks.apk" crashing Accounts and Sync), you can simply move it back to system/app and all will be well again.
[HTC Aria General] kura808:
I went through this thread and was trying to remove the stock apps for almost 2 days. I did some research and tried using the terminal emulator app. Nothing really work.

I finally gave up and decided to use Titanium backup. In the "donate" version, there's an option to "freeze" apps you don't like. I froze all the att crap and they don't show up in my app list anymore. None of them run automatically either.
[HTC Aria General] allmybacon:
Directions Were Perfect - But I Still Have The Apps!

I followed these directions and everything seemed perfect - when I ls the directory, amazon & twitter are both gone from the list.

But 2 problems:

1) when I clicked unmount/system - I got an error, so I rebooted anyway.

2) even though amazon & twitter are NOT listed in the system/app directory - they're STILL on my freaking phone!!!

WTF???

So frustrated! BTW, I'm on a rooted HTC Slide, not an Aria.

Any thoughts or help would be much appreciated.

Thank.

[XPERIA X10 General] gfgodoy:
Hi. After installing the latest firmware and root my caller id isnt working properly.

Before the update. When i got a call it only shown the caller number i.e.: 85360000 (brazil pattern). Now it shows area code! This is bad because caller id doesnt recognise the number unless i edit all of my 400 contacts.

The problem is even worst on sms because it is adding up not only the area code but the country code. Something like +551183003200

Thats really annoying.

Does anyone know a fix or software that can make the caller id translate only the 8 last numbers for cross_matching with my contacts?

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 General] gfgodoy:
Is there a way to make the caller id/sms id recognize only the last 10 digits or something like that??

you don't need to root it.

run project android program.

runs android off a micro sd card.

more information is here. --> linky.

enjoy.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mattgrantlackey:
you just got to install it to the sd card. takes up about half a gig roughly, so its best to just start with a fresh sd card to keep down on clutter. cuz its hard to get rid of everything if u ever want to uninstall. but theres no steps, just download and install to sd card, soft rest and your ready to go. makes a shortcut in your all programs tab.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
I was very pleased to read this-

http://www.gsmarena.com/200000_samsung_glaxy_s_phones_sold_in_south_korea_in_10_days-news-1786.php

Considering the fact that stocks sell off like hot scones in the UK and there are even shortages, and the fact that the device is selling well in the U.S even before carrier-based versions started selling, i see a bright future for the Galaxy S platform.

If in south korea alone it sold 200,000 , and in the UK Clove, Expansys and Handtec had severe shortages untill several days ago, i'm guessing it already sold over 300-350K worldwide.

Again, even before carriers around the world started marketing it.

Now i want to see what happens after carriers around the world start selling it, if these kinds of numbers will continue to flow in, i think it's close to impossible that samsung won't support it for a prolonged period.

Share your 2 cents, i'm having great expectations right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Thank you, that made my day :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ConceptVBS:
^ Yeah, I lol at that one. :D:D

But OP, your right. This is Samsung's all out effort to gain marketshare in the smartphone area. They are #2 when it comes to feature phones (dumb phones). However, in smartphone market, they are #4 or 5. In fact, last quarter they LOST market share. Analysts have projected that in a few years, the majority of phones sold will be smartphones, so it is imperative for Samsung to gain market share and win over customers. You can not do that with products that are unsupported. I bet they got a wake up call when HTC came out of no where and gained market share quicker then Samsung did. In fact HTC (which is very small company compared to Samsung), has a greater market share than the big ol Samsung. They know for a fact that with increased relations with developers, that their handsets have gained sales. Samsung created an open source distribution website where source codes for most of their products have been released since April of this year. So that is a good positive step in the right direction. Also, we all know Samsung makes great hardware, however their software side has been less stellar. Its beginning to be changed as more money and resources are pouring into the software side.(Bada, new R&D center in India devoted to software, new emphasis by corporate to focus more money in software etc).

I hope we are right.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
As far as I can see, Samsung is winning customers over HTC right now. I am one of those, and I spotted many others in the forums.

IMO the point is that HTC's success has been largely undeserved, but rather based on the efforts of people here on XDA; on the contrary, it looks like they did everything they could to make people run away screaming. Despite all the work that has been done, even developers on XDA have never found a way to get a performance from, say, the Touch HD that could at least be called acceptable, if you look at the specs. Marketing a device as the "ultimate multimedia experience" and then selling it without proper drivers, is just pure BS. And this incredible problem affected an entire range of products for at least two years.

So, I would say, HTC should be paying a much higher price than they are, for their behaviour... we'll see in the next few months. I know I sound harsh but I seriously hope they lose it. Samsung FTW :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gooofy:
OP needs to change his topic to something less misleading. When i first glance your "bright spot" made me thought that the new phones have some defect in the screen.

I thought your post was to say that samsung sold many phones with defective "bright spots" on their screens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndroHero:
Wtf is a bright spot anyway lol see thick ppl do buy **** fones lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Oh my :D

Fixed, although i'm sure even kim jong ill wouldn't mind a galaxy s.

And now can someone please translate AndroHero's post for me? i'm having trouble trying to discern what language is that.

Anyways, now that samsung is selling masses of their flagship phone, they have to be completely retarded to not support it properly. It would be equevilant to commiting suicide.

Also, it sold a lot on their "home court", if samsung will let even koreans down, their cellular department is going to take a major hit.
