I agree, it's sad as hell. OEM accessories shouldn't damage the phone at all.

My wife has the Plaid one on hers, and it hasn't worn anything off.

Nothing was worn off of my G1 from the cases on it, nor my Dash, nor my Behold.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] benmarvin:
Probably not so much the accessory but the paint on the phone.

Personally I'm scared of one of those snap in holsters. The only one I've ever tried that worked perfectly was the OEM snap in one for my Blackberry 8700.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] sino8r:
That's because the plaid one is higher quality and actually has padding it.

You have to pay attention to what you buy. Some OEM stuff is high qual, some is cheap as hell... I'd recommend going in a store so you can try it out first instead of buying from tmobile online. It is much harder to tell that way and I do agree if your gonna pay for oem stuff (which is always higher than others) you should get better quality but sometimes their vendor may make cheaper stuff for some and better vendors make the others. It's a pain for all and comes full circle when tmo has to replace your phone because their very product that was supposed to protect it, actually ruined it, lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I paid attention to what I bought, I also test fit the device at the store before I bought it. It is very well made, and holds the screen against the body to keep your screen from getting damaged or knocked open.

None of this matters, as it is sold as an OEM item by T-Mobile, and nothing they sell should EVER damage any phone, especially without a warning before hand.

Is it possible to configure the on screen keyboard to not show up everytime I go to my notes? Also is there a tweak to have the phone turn off faster when pressing the power button?

Also is there a program that will let me view everything in thumbs mode? I can use photo viewer pro to see pics, but it won't show a video in the same folder, or resco explorer which won't show thumbnails of pics. anything that can do both

Also is there a way to save auto word complete which comes up in notes before I hard reset the device??
[General Questions and Answers] thePhantomMan:
Hi,

Does anyone know how to increase the cursor blink rate for wm6.5 in vb.net? I have a bluetooth keyboard but the blinkrate is so slow I can type two words before I see them on the screen.

There doesn't appear to be an option on wm to speed it up. I've written a textpad app in vb.net, with basic textbox, that I would like to speed up the cursor for.

Any ideas?

I'm worried that my swype file isn't correct. Is Swype_1.56.30.7625.t100_FWVGA_EN.apk the latest N1 swype that has been released? What is the correct file size or MD5. When I enabled it it said that it has the capability of collecting data :/ Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] negroplasty:
I have that same version, downloaded it yesterday.

That is a huge discrepancy in file size. I wonder what the difference could be?

Anyone privy to this information? If you have a legit source, please say your filename, size and md5 just to make sure there aren't any bad payloads.

Does anyone know if the phone needs to be rooted in order to use a VNC Viewer? I have all the settings set up but it keeps telling me it can't authenticate.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinsley:
I bought my friends Nexus One because he got an iPhone 4 and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how to revert it back to stock when it's running the following:

Android version:

2.2

Kernel version:

2.6.34-cyanogenmod

kmobs #6

I had a bad experience bricking an HTC dream I got awhile back, so I just want to make sure I don't make the same mistake twice. Although, from reading it sounds like I'm OK as long as I don't update the baseband.

Cheers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
lololol, he got rid of his Nexus to get an iPhone? I feel bad for him... (back on topic) Look up PASSIMG.zip and stick it in the root of the SD card, reboot into bootloader by holding volume down when turning on, should start the restore automatically.
[Droid Incredible General] MidnighToker:
Anyone know how to manually turn it on? I believe that it was an option on the six-panel Powerbar, but I only have the 5-panel.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Menu/setting/wireless networks
[Droid Incredible General] MidnighToker:
Tried that...kept turning back off saying that the radio was disabled. After about 5 resets by pulling the battery, it finally came back on. Dunno WTF.
[Droid Incredible General] MidnighToker:
Anyone know what APK that 6 panel bar that's in some of the ROMs is?
[Vibrant General] mattseg:
Just looked to see what was using my battery, after a day with a few calls, nothing crazy, I am seeing that voice calls used 89%, display 7%, standby 3% and idle 2%.

That said, what is using your battery?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pi_mento:
Hi You'll,

Is het possible to add languages to "Setting --> Language & Keyboard settings" without cooking it in to the build?

I did a search but couldn't find any other posts that could answer this question....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AdrienC:
I'd like to know about that too.

I wanted to get Portuguese from a Vivo brazil rom and add it to Euro build. Or edit the number formatting for english.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xfox:
you can add fonts but for formatting you need to root

cuz i was trying to add arabic but didnt work out
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pi_mento:
I want to add a new language for the system not just a font. In the build that i'm using there is no dutch language available.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pi_mento:
Anyone?.........
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amgadpasha:
Arabic working in 2.2; by default there are arabic fonts in 2.2, but no shaping, so the characters appear separated, there is an app called arabization available, which is to be applied to rooted phones, it's available in google code (search for arabicandroid, as i can't post link here)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] i2go:
Hi guys this is my first post. I just rooted my eris droid and i dont like the htc dialer.

Is there a way to change the htc dialer for the stock android dialer? Or any other dialer (not an app) that i can install.

Thanks in advance
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joffen12:
just replace the htcDialer.apk with other one in system/app
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] i2go:
Any recommendations ?????? Im kinda new here

thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
You could try installing a vanilla rom, unless you use the other HTC apps. Otherwise, download a vanilla rom, unzip it, remove the dialer from /system/app, then push it to the same directory on your phone. Don't forget to remove the htc dialer.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] i2go:
Thanks for the feedback, i downloaded ic3rom, its awesome. Is it possible to use ic3 roms' dialer and taskbar and put it in another rom such as evil eris or any other rom?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] teqknique:

Ic3rom by far has my favorite dialer. great blend of vanilla and sense. I'm attempting to place it on xtrROM, I'll let you know what I find.

Does the replacement need to be named htcDialer.apk?
[Desire General] kuailan:
Yes, I understand the Official Froyo maybe more stable since it's more updated and complete than the leaked Froyo in custom ROM. But really is it worth the upgrade?? What I mean, when you upgrade to official froyo you will loose your root, and possibly a new updated radio that would maybe need "Paul" time to hack again. Without the root, it may not be possible to change to different ROM. I am pretty sure, once those official FROYO is out...there would be lots of different custom ROM MOD based on Official FROYO available?? Also looking at my past experience with HTC, once this official 2.2 update is available, they wont update very often anymore. It maybe better to stay with custom ROM since those cooks tend to get newer system kernel somewhere. I guess for me, even if the update is out, I will just wait out till someone make new custom ROM based on this official FROYO? cheer...that's just my opinion.
[Desire General] VeeDubZ:

[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Most, if not all people will be waiting for a rooted version. I'll be amazed if people unroot just to get it, when it'll be modded in no time. The test release by udk is a prime example.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
Gingerbread
[Desire General] zetsurin:
Agree with the original poster's sentiments. Also worth considering that this could very easily be the last major update for HTC to roll out to the Desire. There's already a newer generation of devices out and HTC have no incentive to keep us at the leading edge. I got a clear taste of this with my previous HTC Magic - dropped by Vodafone like an unwanted toy once they started selling newer devices. Thankfully it was completely unlocked and I could flash all the custom ROMs on that which I liked but since it was a 32B if I had gone official and somehow ended up there I'd have been left behind at 1.6.
[Desire General] Igazine:
I "upgraded" from Hero (which I liked pretty much) to Desire about a month ago, and it's still unrooted. I rooted and installed a custom ROM to my Hero (a couple of weeks before the official 2.1 came out) and I was far from impressed. It became slow and laggy, the available RAM was way below than on the original 1.5 etc. I assume that I should've try other ROMs as well but at a certain point I just got tired so I switched to Desire. I love the way it is. It's fast, responsive and I enjoy all the possibilities of the hardware. I can even impress my iPhone friends with a little smile on my face.

The guy I sold my Hero just updated to the official OTA 2.1 a couple of days ago. Guess what? It's flying! I wouldn't believe it if I couldn't see with my own eyes.

I love what you guys do here. I really do. I'm amazed and impressed with all the work and effort you put in these custom ROMs. I'm reading all the interesting threads, tips, tricks etc. It's good to have a place like this board. It's good to have full control over our handsets, install software others can't. But I kinda like the way HTC puts together and tests its ROMs even if it's bloated with stuff I'll never use. I'll check for updates every hour this weekend :) Cos I'm eager to try all the new features. Maybe later I'll switch to a custom ROM which is based on the official, but for now I'm focusing on the "Check now" button

[Desire General] pina_:
as long as froyo doesn't modify the hboot to a new version, you can always rollback and unroot.
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Because the leaked froyo came with a new HBOOT (which was removed by devs here) which at the moment is unrootable. And may be unrootable forever!

[Desire General] Nit3m4re:
I highly doubt no one is ever going to be able to root if they officially upgrade to 2.2. It will happen, it might just take a while that's all for Paul and co. to do it..
[Desire General] boas:
I think that all of you that says that the new Hboot could not be hacked, underestimate many very very skilled peoples knowledge. Just because it isn't cracked now, it not equal to *incrackable*.

I am very certain that it will be cracked or something else and then root access can be achieved again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
i dont think this is a SGS specific problem, possibly an app is doing this but cant figure out which one, during the day usually when i take out of sleep the wifi will come on for a moment then switch off, other times it stays on.

I have uninstalled Locale, and now use tasker but there are no settings I have entered for wifi, is there a way of figuring out which app could be doing this?

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ObliviA:
I have the some problem and don't know what it is :(

You can go to options and then go to wifi advanced options

(I have a Dutch phone so i don't know to correct name on English language on your phone)

you can select "never go to sleep" or somthing like that.

But is still have the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
I'm also finding that I have to detach/reattached the wifi connection quite regularly. I'm using it on a 'n' network.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
this is bug in the system.. it is the location doing.. it any app trying to get your location.. you are supposed to be able to turn it off by unchecking use wireless to determin location under wifi.. but it does not always seem to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
I think the problem is with Google Maps (or Navigation, I don't remember). When I open it and starts to fix my location, the wifi will turn on althought I disabled in the settings the use of wifi networks to help the GPS. In theory, when you close GMaps/Navigation the wifi will turn off, but sometimes it will just leave it on.

It doesn't happen with other GPS apps like GPS Status, etc...

Will check what happens with Sygic later!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
yes i have also tried unchecking check wireless networks for location, maybe switch off latitude?

its really bugging me as sometimes it gets stuck on switching off and you then cant do anything, and if you really do need wifi have to restart phone.

edit: switched off latitude, see if this is the culprit
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
I don't think Latitude has anything to do. I never used it and I have the same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i have the same problem! its sooo annoying...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
For the record, i'm using firmware XXJF3

If someone is using a newer firmware please check if the bug is already fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
not fixed in jf5 or jf7

just had to reboot stuck turning off. if anyone has a workaround or what service to kill to do so without rebooting please post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rodh257:
I have all sorts of problems with wifi... keeps turning itself on when I disable it, keep losing connection, drains battery, locks the phone up (i think its wifi doing this) etc...

I tried wifi fixer app, and you can see how many times it disconnects/reconnects even after disabling sleep etc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tommy34:
i have location with wifi on. it disconnects automatically only when i'm not in the range of a saved network. Then it will connect to this network and stay connected
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
Any one else have any theories on how to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
I think the problem is with the "Use wireless networks" setting not taking any effect on the phone (I have it disabled).

Having wifi turned off, if I open some GPS app wifi will turn itself on automatically. I think it is because it searches for nearby APs to fix the location more quickly. The problem is that the location is not as exact as with pure GPS. When I quit the app wifi will turn off automatically. This happens even if I have unchecked the above system setting.

A workaround that worked for me was to disable wifi AFTER opening the app that uses GPS, and the location was more precise.

Note that I tried this with Google Maps and Sygic Mobile Maps, so it seems like a system-level bug rather than app bug.

Anybody has noticed the same behavior?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] king.mark:
My wifi is very annoying.

Every few minutes while I use e.g. the internet browser the connection just dies.

It often happens during loading of a web page or updating in the weather app.

My solution so far is to tun wifi off and on again, then it will work for another few minutes before it suddenly hangs again. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Breakyx:
I have exactly the same issue. Which network system do you use? My router supprts "n" standard, maybe that cause the issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
I think I might have fixed it by first turning it on and then turning it off(wireless location that is). Never managed to open up Google Maps before without the phone enabling wifi as well.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm running the custom ROM from Modaco.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
Tried it on stock ROM version JF3 and still the same issue.

Regarding MCR, I didn't see in the info on modaco forum anything related to this GPS issue, maybe Paul fixed something without knowing?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Breakyx:
Why GPS issue? thought this thread is about Wi-Fi Internet connection issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Could be, but most importantly - Google Maps is finally usable again(for me at least)! Did you enable the "Use Wireless Networks" option and then open up google maps or did you just toggle it quickly?
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Updated list of questions for my X10a.

Dont have to answer all! :)

Listed from most important to least

1) Proximity sensor doesnt work. It works when I test it via the SE Secret Menu however, it doesnt work while im calling. Im using the ADW dialpad and custom skinned Phone.apk and Phonebook.apk

2) Can you alt-tab? Like when I am running apps/games and I want to open another app to do something or make a call etc and then come back. I know the home button kinda works this way but it sometimes doesnt. Would be nice if I could minimize to the status bar or something.

3) Whats with the display draining so much battery. Its always the major battery drainer. My brightness is like 30% on the bar.

4) Can you change the icons? (drawer and desktop)

5) Can you make the ADW launcher drawer slide out? Not setting the "Slide Up Gesture" to "Open Drawer" but a draggable drawer.

6) How to disable the auto screen dimming when battery is 10%. IDK if thats an app I have or what. But I dont want the screen to dim.

Any Applications that can do these

-Disable slide to unlock. I just want to activate the screen with a press of a button (Best if its power button only). I tried NoLock but it activates the lock screen at random times of phone usage.

-On the fly orientation on/off. Dont want to go back to desktop

I will add/remove questions as I find questions/solutions.

Thanks! :D
