[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
You aren't getting any evo on an early upgrade. you have to wait until your truly due for one. i tired this already, WON'T happen. i just happened to find a sucker on craigslist that traded me his new evo for a used hero + $150 cash.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Early upgrades are possible on extremely rare occasions. I gave 2 last week for the evo for the same customer. My only customer to get one since the phone was released.
[Hero CDMA General] flam253:
hey I'm curious. Do you mind me asking on what grounds did you give the early upgrade? Oh and is it possible to buy a phone out of contract at full price without activating it in store? I tried to do that today and it was annoying as the rep kept insisting I had to have it activated before I walked out.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Can't say why and yes you can buy a phone for full price no questions asked
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
Well, in this economy, any job is a good job. Very hard finding work these days and its just getting worse.....You can't have much of a life without a job!!!
[Hero CDMA General] wingzfan:
Best part...one of your coworkers told me how and what to do. Before that "fool" opened his mouth we refused to do it. Then that "fool" told us it was completely ok to do and until you guys changed the system it wouldnt be an issue.

Next time I'd refrain on pointing fingers at us "fools" before checking what your "fools" are doing. Ive had far more f-ups from Sprint reps like yourself than I have from Best Buy account reps. Your the "fools" who had to halt the samsung moment cl14 upgrades because your techs couldnt figure out how to run the file. We were loading them the minute they hit the site.
[Hero CDMA General] wingzfan:
Btw, in regards to your "Airave upgrades dont exist"
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Yea... The system shows it, you can't use it and yes best buy/radioshack **** up all accounts from opening lines when customers were wanting to upgrade to using airave lines as upgrades. The airave, though it is now seen in the system as a line can not be used as a line to upgrade. Also please stop telling customers activation is free and tell them if they switch the phone to another line within 30 days they lose the rebate.

But of course one retard opens his mouth, the rest follow. If I show u a glitch in the system to give free evos will u use it too? Cause I know one. Just cause u can do something doesnt mean its allowed and then retention has to fix all ur **** ups. No update was evrr halted either, find a new source.
[Hero CDMA General] Ruki_Uki:
We have 6 lines and they all got upgraded 5 months ago at the same time, last night 3 of them could be upgraded so we upgraded 2 of them to the EVO for $199 :-)
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
I think it's safe to say we can ALL forget about upgrading a Hero to an Epic4g even a single day before October 10, and the only way we can even fantasize about an Evo a couple of weeks early is if Sprint ordered a staggeringly HUGE quantity of them only to have demand for it completely collapse once the Epic4g arrives. I really don't see that happening, either.(*)

(*)In fact, I personally think that's why there's an Evo shortage right now. Sprint knows demand for the Evo is at least partly driven by the fact that right now, it's their ONLY 4G android phone. They almost certainly have an agreement with HTC to promote the Evo exclusively for some minimum number of days, shortage or not. Thus, they're being extremely conservative about replenishing their Evo inventory only to levels they know can be sustained by ongoing new sales once the Epic4g is out as well. They don't want to end up in a situation where stores have a mountain of Evos piled floor to ceiling and a 6-week backlog for Epic4g.

From a PR standpoint, Sprint's ideal scenario would be to have every Sprint store be sold out of one or the other for at least a couple of days each week... but have enough in stock at SOME Sprint store within 50 miles to ensure that anyone (with a car) who walks through the door and is determined to have one *today* can go to bed happy that night, but will also tell everyone that they're so popular, they're sold out *almost* (but not quite) everywhere.
[Hero CDMA General] SouthernSerenity:
If you have any line that is elgib. for an upgrade and you upgrade on that line and switch it to your line then you lose your rebate.

If you were going to do this then you would have to wait until the rebate has been processed and then switch the lines so...
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Actually the reason for the shortage is because there are only 2 taiwanese companies that make the amoled screens for these phones. Between the droid, evo and others, they can't keep up with demand.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sailing_Nut:
Hi, I have a Verzion TP2 and finally took the plunge to do the VZW WM6.5 upgrade.

Bad decision! I'm experiencing really slow performance and reduced battery life.

I like some of the new features, but the slow performance is not acceptable.

Anyone have any good advice for speeding things up? I know disabling sense UI will help, but then it would just be another crappy WM UI phone.

I did some searching here and wasn't able to find much. (Admittedly I didn't spent tons of time looking.)

Help is greatly appreciated! TIA!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
Just put a custom rom on your phone and most of your problems are solved. And believe me, you never want to go back to stock.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sailing_Nut:
THanks for the info. Not certain that I want to go away from stock because my carrier (Verizon) may get quite cranky & not want to support me or service my phone if something goes wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lombardo8:
Thanks fade to black for your well laid out response.

I am also waiting to upgrade to the Desire next month but I am not sure I want to get rid of my Touch pro 2. I am so used to the hardware keyboard plus even though I would have had the phone for 1 year by 30 July, it looks brand new. Carrying 2 smartphones about is not an option for me. I have also just had the screen replaced under warranty after it developed newton rings. HTC returned the phone with the latest WM6.5 i.e. with Sense 2.5 and it seems very smooth. No crashes or nothing since I have had it back about a week now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
You're very lucky then as I still have a year left on my contract :-( Lol..

Yeah losing the hardware keyboard is a bit worrying, but i've not had the HTC Wizard, then the Kaiser, and then the Touch Pro 2. So to be honest I'm quite looking forward to a "thin" device for once. Hopefully will be able to get used to the onscreen keyboard.

You could always try waiting a few more months until HTC release an android device with a keyboard? Tbh it's quite surprising how they haven't already.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sailing_Nut:
@Fade2Black101 Thanks for the suggestions! I have begun looking at things and immediately went for disabling the push internet because my memory is a bit tight. Well, instead of installing the CAB file I went in to manually edit the registry and found that it was not enabled in my ROM. :-(

I'm going to try some of the other stuf you suggested, but have not had time as of yet.

I probably shouldn't be, but I am shocked that Verizon released an update that brings the phone to it's knees in terms of performance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fade2black101:
was there a noticable difference in ram usage after editing the push setting? I remember when I tried doing it manually and it didnt have the same effect as installing the cab. So unless you noticed a big change, i'd suggest using the cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p51d007:
I don't have Verizon, but, if the rom's out there for Verizon are like the GSM ones, you can probably download the "stock" Verizon Rom, in case you need warranty service. Just flash back to the stock version before returning it.

Of course, if you phone is unbootable, then, you're pretty much screwed ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sailing_Nut:
I checked the registry and the settings weren't even there except for one and it was set to disabled. Also when I check the task manager under processes, opera isn't there. So I'm pretty sure that push internet is not running on my phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdpimp:
Hey guys I noticed this this morning while doing a calculation. I am using the stock calculator that came with my Droid Incredible. I've not done any rooting or anything like that. When I enter 365.2 - 358.8 I get the total of 6.3999999999 instead of 6.4 like I should.

Is anyone else getting such calculations?

I've not been able to reproduce this using any other combination of numbers, although occasionally it will produce a something like this: instead of saying 3.4 it will say 3.4000000000. It doesn't do it to every value, but occasionally.

Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jdawg183:
Wow, that is just FREAKY!! Same thing on mine! Guess I shouldnt use it for math class huh!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cole119:
It just has something to do with how computers calculate math. Almost all computers will have problems with some calculations, for example, if you go to Google.com and type in something like 1-.9999999 or 999999999999999-999999999999998 it will give you a wrong answer. But yeah, lol, I wouldn't use this phone on tests or homework unless you don't have anything else around.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonox:
Well for what it's worth, 6.3999999~ is the same thing as 6.4 ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sucker4pa1n:
That is true about the rounding. I was actually heavily tempted to remove the stock calculator if I found find a better version on the Market.

Oh, and just for comparison sake, the stock calculator on the Moto Droid displays it correctly as 6.4 :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UgXvibe:
RealCalc Scientific Calculator in the Market works great.. and it gives you that 6.4 you are looking for.. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmonox:
On a serious note, I use handy calc, it's really nice and can graph functions too :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
The stock calc apparently has no way to save to memory... Kind of weird even for a very basic calculator.

If it does via some weird keystroke, I have never figured it out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teeej:
Try doing a trig function on the calculator...

Its USELESS.

Well, if you've memorized radian conversions, you can possible use it, but, its like needing an abacus to use a calculator...not worth it.

Why they didn't set it to use DEGREES for angles is beyond me...and there doesn't appear to be an option of switching it either.

Any of you geniuses figure out a way to make it work, ....

...or is the phone's calculator just a fake feature, and I should just down load one that works?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatman60:
LOL

That's tooooo funny. Makes you wonder if a simple calculator program can't do that math correctly, what else is going on behind the scenes.

Could this be a clue to the mysterious battery drainage problem under Android?

So here's what I got from HTC when I filed a ticket over it:

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

Dear Teesh,

Thank you for contacting us about this problem in the calculator application. I actually had one other email about this with another person several months ago, and what we determined was that it was an Android issue. I tested the math on one each of every Android phone we have and was able to recreate the issue. I also, when I was not at work, tested it with a friend's Android device that was not an HTC phone; same result. It appears to be something in the way that the base Android calculator is written; I sent the information up to the proper departments to see what could be done about it, but once the request goes up I don't get any direct response to it. I will again send up the information just in case; I remember posting on the code.google.com page about it when it happened, although I can't find that post now. Interestingly, if the remainder is greater than or equal to .5 it will show the correct answer. I apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced, and I hope that it is something resolved in the near future.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 10USCW39ENA000982.

Sincerely,

Philip

[XPERIA X10 General] dfan:
Looks like it was my generic charger causing all the problems all along...

Too high output (6.5VDC where it should be 5VDC)

Ordered a replacement, hoping for the best.

Thanks for all the help!

Sometimes my touchscreen is just perfect. Lately, it's driving me nuts!

When I hold my finger on the screen, the touch screen registers rapid multiple touches. Possibly as many as 10 per second.

This makes dragging and long-press actions almost impossible. Scrolling is very hard and typing is a PitA.

The problem goes away at times but keeps returning. I'm not sure if I had it before the recent update.

At first, it seemed like rebooting helped but today it proved useless.

Anybody, please help!!!!

(phone was used and has no warranty coverage :( )
[XPERIA X10 General] Talonnb:
Do you have a screen protector on the screen? Sometimes the cheaper ones are too thick and the screen doesn't register touch like it should.
[XPERIA X10 General] dfan:
Just the one that came on the phone.

Like I said, the phone works beautifully some of the time but registers multiple contacts other times.

I suspect software but it seems I'm the only person with the problem...
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
do you have a warranty.... sounds like a hardware fault to me.... the only way you can prove it's software (or not).. is to do a factory data reset and then run it with the standard basic build for a few days.. see if you still have problems when you don't have any other apps on the phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
Do you have wet fingers when you experiment this behaviors?
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
Happens to me too. I figure its due to gunk on the screen like water, sweat your gf's makeup (a major one)
[XPERIA X10 General] bushbox browser:
This happens to me too.

Only started happening since the last update so I just assumed it was a bug in the new firmware. It's like the phone lags and then catches up with itself, very annoying.
[XPERIA X10 General] dfan:
I think it is since the update. I'd better reset the phone using SEUS and see what happens.

@ everybody, believe me, I have had the problem through a variety of circumstances and no problem with sweaty fingers etc. It seems pretty random!

I don't have a warranty so re-install here I come!
[XPERIA X10 General] brunswick000:
I would definetly try the factory reset first. I have had similiar issues but its only been while typing quickly. It lags a bit and then it all shows up on the screen plus a few extras of whatever the last character I typed was.

I did read somewhere, can't remember exactly where, that because our screens are capacitive they can malfunction. What I mean is this:

"Surface Capacitive touch panels: a layer that can store an electrical charge is created on the glass panel. When a user touches the monitor with his or her ungloved finger, a portion of the charge is transferred to the grounded user reducing the charge on the capacitive layer. The controller calculates, from the differences in charge at each corner and determines where the touch occurred."

Sooooo if say the ground for the screen is damaged then it will not register your touch appropriately. Hopefully it just requires a reset, cause the latter I think would be a tougher fix.

Let us know
[XPERIA X10 General] sam_fischer:
dfan, is it happen only when you charge your phone? What charger are you use? Original?
[XPERIA X10 General] bushbox browser:
I did a restore but no change, issue still there, it doesn't happen often though.

Dose seem like a bug and it never happened to me before the last update.

Also it happens to me when not charging.
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
very bad.. you cannot drink a cold coke and use the phone. I think that it is a hardware related problem. I was trying to reproduce the same with N1 and Legend (with my fingers flooded) without problems. So.. guys with hyperdrosis keep away from this phone! :D
[XPERIA X10 General] bushbox browser:
No it's not a hardware problem as it only started happening with the last update.

Remember the x10 uses different software to nexus one or desire so can't compare with them.

I believe it's the software lagging, this update is faster overall but just lags occasionally, maybe the next software update will fix it, and if not the 2.1 update should definitely fix the issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
Are you pretty sure?
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
Tested... it is present on old roms :)
[XPERIA X10 General] bushbox browser:
Well the old roms were laggy as hell anyway. It seems like classic software lag so I still think it's software.

Maybe when 2.1 is released we will find out, or even better when we get stock android running though root, that would clear it up once and for all.

My iPhone 3g also suffered from similar lag issues.
[XPERIA X10 General] dfan:
Hells yeah I don't want a defective screen or this thing is done!

regarding your first comment, this is not lag. It is like I had a turbo button. If I touch for more than 1/15 sec, I get 2, 3 or 4 letters.

instead of one long press, the screen continually registers new presses, no matter how firm my touch is.

Imagine how much fun it is drawing the unlock pattern when my phone's in a bad mood...
[XPERIA X10 General] bushbox browser:
That dose sound different to the small lag I occasionally experience, very odd.
[XPERIA X10 General] dfan:
I've reinstalled the FW and it didn't fix it.

The other day I had 5 straight hours of rapid-fire screen during which I couldn't even unlock the phone.

Gonna have to send it in for repair. Anybody know how expensive S-E are for repairs? Is it even worth doing?
[XPERIA X10 General] dfan:
I have narrowed the suspects down to my generic charger.

The charger I bought outputs over 5V (claims 6.5V) which seems to be the problem since I don't experience the issue when charging from a USB port.

New charger ordered, fingers crossed.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dharani1234:
Was wondering if there is an app (with widget) which shows the missed call details like name(or number) on the home screen when we unlock the screen , so that I don't have to go to call logs and see the missed calls ( if there are multiple missed calls )

Any idea ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sergioalvarezmac:
+1 I`m interested in something like that too. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] f2003554:
This comes the closest to what you want but then its a home screen replacement.

Its called Slide Screen. Can't post links.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sergioalvarezmac:
Yeah, I know SlideScreen, and I probe it just a few days. It`s a very good

home replacement, but I prefer the "look and feel" of Android with the widgets

and so on. And SlideScreen really drains your battery life. I`m waiting for

SPB Mobile Shell for Android, but I dont know when they are going to release it.

I think that SPB Software where waiting for Froyo but now I dont know what happend.

BTW, thanks for your reply.

hey guys

im not well versed when it comes to understanding voltage and etc so im asking for your inputs

i found these 2 accessories on tigerdirect.ca

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3973804&csid=_25

but im not sure if they'll work for x10 in terms of power/voltage/etc

any comments will be much appreciated!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClintonH:
Yea they should work fine, both output 5v. The car charger will charge a little slower than your stock charger (700ma vs 500ma) but it should work fine.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqbweb:
are u sure about that? last night i was in my friends car and he got a Motorola usb car charge... I got truly impresed how was the charging speed! awesome man! 10min 25%....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnayres:
I am currently using an after market in-car type.

It works fine.

the rating is the same as the one you posted.

Input: DC12-24V

Output: DC5.0-5.5V/500mA
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClintonH:
Positive, I'm guessing your friend has the P513 Rapid charge Moto. The reason it charges very fast is it outputs 950ma. I have the same in car charger way faster than the stock charger because it outputs 35% more charge. ;)
[HD2 General] johnjtaylor:
I emailed Vodafone to tell them that signal strength in my home area had declined. I didn't think it would do any good, but at least I got a good laugh out of it. Have a read of these instructions:

<Quote>

Please perform hard reset to get better network coverage on your phone. To perform hard reset you need to follow the given instructions:

Switch off your phone

Remove the battery and SIM

Wipe the SIM with a cloth

Insert the battery and the SIM

Switch on the phone

This will help you to get stronger signal.

<End Quote>

:)

No doubt if this doesn't work I should slaughter a white chicken while standing at a crossroads at the next full moon. Three cheers for custom roms and user-provided technical support!
