[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upaboveit:
One of the things I dislike about doing this is that if it's still a Sense-based ROM, we still get the swipe up/down to ignore/answer a call. Well, when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket, pulling the phone out of my pocket manages to trigger that swipe, up or down depending on whether I put the phone in my pocket upside down or not. So now I'm randomly ignoring calls I want to answer or answering calls I don't have time to deal with.

Is there a way to get the damn phone app back to the "swipe sideways" thing again? Is there another app to delete?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upaboveit:
Doesn't it need to be 'adb remount rw' ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Success100:
his is off a little bit...it should be:

Try 'adb remount rw'

Then, 'adb shell'

cd /system/app

mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak

this will get rid of the HTC lockscreen

THANK YOU!!!!

I was just looking for this answer!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kerr_Avon:
I did this and it worked great. Now my lock screen is the stock lock screen, which is what I wanted.

However, when someone calls me, it is still the HTC swipe up/down screen. How do I also make this the stock screen??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
Question for you guys who have deleted the .apk and now with the AOSP/standard Android lock:

When you enable the pattern lock, does the standard lock automatically gets disabled?

I want to use pattern lock, but the HTC slide-down lock remains and makes it a two step to unlock the screen. PITA. If the standard lock goes away with pattern lock enabled, this is what I will do.

Thanks.

Been using the 10.1 release that's been out for about a month and a half... Installed the froyo update and now browser crashes on all flash websites..

Checked the app list..

The 8.00mb Flash Player is still installed and not the 54.00kb version..

How to fix please..?

Thanks

Wow this is new to me, are you using the default browser? If you are can you try a different browser such as Dolphin HD to see if you have the same issue, you may need to just flash the rom again if that's the case..... :)
[EVO 4G General] opti2k:
@jahnile> Same in Dolphin...

I was just on CNN and it worked perfect via the default browser. Got a site that takes it down?
[EVO 4G General] AvatarOfFrost:
Mine works just fine. Only thing i've noticed is that sometimes the page scrolling is a little choppy. Not very smooth and when scrolling the flash items on the page flicker. :eek:

According to androidPolice.com this is not the final Froyo build from HTC so maybe the "final" release on Tuesday will be smoother.
[EVO 4G General] cacesasa:
You need to factory reset your phone. I had the same problem and that fixed for me.

Yes it will wipe your personal data.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
I would wait till the 3rd and see if there is a changelog on what is released that day, then hard reset if needed. Mine is plagued with all the same issues everyone else is having

Browser dragging

double tap zoom dragging

browser crashing randomly

awake time issue

Random laggyness

Horrible Battery life

Apps running in the background and even after stopping, they come right back

I will just wait and if this is the final, then I will have to do what I have to do and hard reset. I'll just backup with sprite Backup first, so I don't lose everything.
[EVO 4G General] opti2k:
Just decided to go with the factory reset.. browser is working now... will check the change log on sprints OTA to see whether to use theirs on the 3rd.
[EVO 4G General] sisith:
To fix the slow dragging issue in the browser change the setting "Enable plugins" to "On demand." This will require a click to load flash content and therefore will not render all those annoying flash ads that slow down the browswer.

Tried the factory reset and still crashes on certain sites :( lots of work for no payoff lol :eek:

Yea, I'd found the apk, and I've replaced the picture (just the dot color underneath the widgets)

Now my problem is that the damned thing won't install. I've tried just renaming it to zip and replacing the picture, and then using the apk manager to xtract, replace, rezip, and resign.

Both ways, I get "Application not installed". I know this is doable because I've seen other people with it done, but any help with what I have going on would be great.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinscuzzy:
This doesn't fix your problem, but is a quick work around. Try using root explorer or adb to put the apk in system/app. I guess resigning edited apks is only necessary if they're going in data/app. I do this all the time to skin fancy widget.

Ps, if you use root explorer, don't forget to change permissions back to their default settings.

Can anyone help me with moving the ringtone file from CM6 to the new 2.2 sense?

I really don't like all the girly ringtones that HTC/Sense have stock.

Hi guys,

I've only just got my HTC HD2 and am fooling around with some WinMo development.. I found the funky Sense control set.. I think I got version 1.39 from memory..

What I want to know is, is there a "spinning" number picker available somehow...??

The time picker control has it, but I'd like to have that for picking a single number...

My app calls for the user to pick a number between 1 and X... I'm not keen on the SenseNumericControl or the fullscreen version... to me they're a little clunky.. I love the flick to scroll feature of the time picker...

Any help would be very much appreciated...

Thanks..

The 16gb version is out but haven't found about 8gb,if anyone can comment?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Any country in particular or you just asking in general? In Denmark, they're only selling the 8GB version, as Samsung thinks the 16GB would be too expensive, which is BS.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Many carriers where you buy with a contract you can only find the 16GB, if you look for an unlocked device without a contract you should be able to find 8GB if that's what you're looking for.

[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
I updated to 2.2 yesterday. The only issue I am having is that when I try to tether through USB, it gives me an Error code 67 PCS Vision username/password error.

Has anyone else had this issue. For some reason I was thinking that they were going to let us tether through Froyo, but it not, I guess I will go back to easytether.
[EVO 4G General] bzxzlg:
I had gotten that a couple of times ... What I ended up doing was using a different USB port which caused a configuraiton of the port and then USB-tether worked fine ...
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
Good sugestion. I gave that a try, and even tried it on another PC all together, but still does the same thing.

Also, now when I go to System Updates, and Update profile, I get the error as well.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
That is the response you get when you aren't paying Sprint the $30 monthly hotspot fee. You can't USB tether unless you pay the fee either. Unless you buy Easy Tether or PDANet from the market, or root the phone and use Wi-Fi tether or one of the Froyo ROMs without Sense.
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
Okay, thats what I was thinking, I don't know why I was thinking the usb tethering would be free with 2.2

Thanks for the response. Back to easy tether
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Sure it ain't free? :(

PS. I've been checking htc sw update and still don't see 2.2. wtf :(

I am not doing the update.zip thing.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
It's free with the vanilla version of FroYo 2.2 but HTC/Sprint removed tethering unless you pay the $30. This is why I use Cyanogen Mod 6.0 on my Evo.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Well, EasyTether works well, is it confirmed to be working for 2.2?
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
Ya, EasyTether is still working perfectly for me on 2.2. When tethered with 4g, my laptop still pulls 5mb down. It also seems to have a better latency than 1.47 did.
[EVO 4G General] fsuwade:
i am not sure it the 2.2 that is doing it. you may need to call sprint and have a tech reset some of the network stuff. and then you should be good to go. i got the 67 error on my touch pro 2 and that was the issue it was something not set up right on the phone and the network causing the problem.
[EVO 4G General] AzN1337c0d3r:
I was under the impression the error happens when you try to USB tether over 3G instead of 4G.
[EVO 4G General] pbarrett:
.......... +1
[EVO 4G General] Babble0n:
can't say for sure on that with 2.2, but in 2.1 you could USB tether for free using 4g, but not 3g. Trying to 3g tether without paying the $30 extra each month would result in the "error 67, unknown username/password" error.

They may have removed the ability completely with the 2.2 update...talk about bait and switch.
[EVO 4G General] ntron1:
Easy Tether works fine and it is free.
[EVO 4G General] tgi007:
Not bait-and-switch ... but still unreasonable

It's not a matter of "removing" an ability. It's that Sprint/HTC fixed a bug that accidentally allowed customers (that were not paying the $30/mo for the HotSpot feature) to still be able to connect when using the 4G mode of the radio modem (it did correctly block access when in 3G mode).

Your contract with Sprint excludes HotSpot functionality unless you pay the $30/mo for the "option". Because you were able to exploit a bug for several months before it got fixed in the 2.2 release isn't a reason to complain when they fix it. (Well, it's ok to complain -- just don't expect to get much sympathy! Those of us living in non-4G regions never got to enjoy the free service you got.)

While I disagree with Sprint's excessive charge for the HotSpot service, and I deplore their disabling a useful and already-built-in (to the base Android system) feature, it's not quite fair to accuse them of bait-and-switch in this case.

I can understand Sprint's desire to not have users routinely using the HotSpot service as a full-time replacement for their landline/cable broadband, particularly without paying for it, it's not like the EVO can't suck enormous amounts of data anyway -- after all, they did bundle Sprint TV and they specifically disabled its use over WiFi -- you have to run it over their cellular network. A bizarre decision if you're trying to cut down on data traffic.

[Droid Incredible General] vbhines:
Ok, this whole bump charging thing pisses me off. My phone should just charge, I shouldn't need to spend hours every morning bump charging it. I've read that others have found work arounds that seemed to work for them - the only thing that's fixed the rapid drain rate in the start of the day (which refers of course to the lack of a full charge) has been daily bump charging. I've read about people using Christmas light timers to do this, but this is a bit more...robust. I've tried something new that seems to be, at least for me, a permanent solution.

1. Purchase something like this. There may be other timers that would work as well.

2. Plug your HTC charger into the timer.

3. Set the timer to cut the power off at, say, 4:00AM (this was a good time for me based on when I wake up for work).

4. Set it to turn power back on one minute later, at 4:01AM.

5. Set it to turn power off again at 4:31AM (my bump charging usually takes 30 minutes per cycle)

6. Set it to turn the power back on a minute later at 4:32AM.

7. And so on and so forth for a total of about 10 cycles (this is what works best for my Dinc, at least)

8. Turn your phone off when you go to bed.

8a. If anyone can figure out a way to auto-power off at around 4:00am, this would work even better. Power Off 1.1 wouldn't work on my SkyRaider Dinc.

9. Plug your phone in.

10. If you programmed the timer correctly, your phone should be fully bump charged at least 10 cycles by the time you wake up! Power on your phone and GO!

I'm interested to find out if others have tried this method. So far it's working wonders for my battery life. Comments welcomed.
[Droid Incredible General] unreal2k:

The OS shuts off charging too early. But, its HTC phones in general, from what I've read. Bump charging has been around longer than the Dinc.

[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
FWIW, it is just how the phone works. My Samsung Omnia charged the same way.

I simply let it charge overnight. When I get up in the morning I check my email or whatever and then put the phone back on the charger while I get ready for work. I leave for the day with a fully-charged battery. No muss, no fuss.

What's the big deal?
[Droid Incredible General] vbhines:
I suppose I'm just neurotic in that, when I wake up to a phone I plugged in the night before, I want the damn thing to be charged.

If you don't find it necessary for your circumstances, I'm jealous.
[Droid Incredible General] k_flan:
Would clearing the battery stats after bump charging help it get a better charge even when not bump charging?
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
My Moto Droid didn't do this. In fact, you couldn't charge it with it off.

Nor did my Omnia.
[Droid Incredible General] Amin Sabet:
I have an easier solution which works perfectly:

Power the phone off

Charge overnight while I sleep

Power it back on in the morning

That's it. The issue is that the phone doesn't fully charge unless it is powered off. Bumping doesn't do anything special.
[Droid Incredible General] omgi0wn:
Even when it is powered off, if you unplug it and plug it back in you can get around another good hour or so of charging. I turn my phone off at night but bump it when i wake up in the middle of the night because it always charges for at least another thirty minutes.
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
Mmmm yea I am going to have to strongly disagree...
[Droid Incredible General] yatman60:
Actually, not true (about it being the Incredible only). I have an HTC Imagio also (my previous phone) which just happens to have the same battery and it had the same issue. If I charged the phone fully, unplugged the charger, turned off the phone and plugged it back in, the orange light stayed on for quite some time before turning green again.

I'm not saying it's a totally a hardware issue (something to do with the charging circuitry) but I think it's a combination of that in conjunction with the O/S. Android defintely seems to drain the battery a heck of a lot faster than WINMO6.5 did (as proven by my friend who has an HD2 and is dual booting 6.5 and Android. He's found that WINMO 6.5 lasts at least 5 hours or more than Android).

So ultimately, I think HTC needs to look into either A) the quality of these batteries, B) their charging circuitry, C) Both, and the folks at Google need to get to work on their power management logic and algorithms.
[Droid Incredible General] yatman60:
I've seen the same results that Amin did doing this whole "Bump" thing vs. just charging with the phone off, unplugging, and plugging back in. I've seen the same results on another HTC phone as well that was a non-android phone.

If you get a set of lithium AA batteries and get a charger, you can test how this is SUPPOSED to work. If you charge the AA's fully, take them out of the charger, then put them back in, you might see the light orange for maybe a minute or so before the charger realizes that the battries are full.

The HTC phones don't seem to do this. They seem to think the batteries are partially drained.
[Droid Incredible General] Amin Sabet:
If you charge while off and unplug and replug, you may get some more orange light time. My concern isn't whether I can make the light go orange, it's battery life. What I have observed is that if I charge to full with the phone off, I get better battery life than if I charge to full with it on. None of the other factors (unplugging, replugging, etc) seems to make much difference.
[Droid Incredible General] yatman60:
Suggested 18 hours of charging - BY AN HTC REP!!!

Ok - For your amusement, check out some these emails (link below) that people recieved from tech support staff at HTC. In one of the emails, the support rep suggested 18 hours of charging using a modified "bump-charge" technique.

Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?
