[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Chiefbrain:
Before rooting my X10, i used a Taskmanager which killed the apps previously defined on pressing the power key (on top of the phone).

After rooting and updating to 024, it kills my tasks if the screen goes off. Therefore, tasks are killed if power button is pressed AND if screen times out.

It was very nice before the update, killing the apps on pressing the button and having a low display timeout which saves battery but allows me to continue what i was doing after re-enabling the screen.

In my opinion, the system has changed and not the taskmanager, i tried different ones but noone satisfied me.

Is there any taskmanager / taskkiller which has this functionalitiy?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] frostdream:
You don't have to kill apps. Android do it for you :-)

Killing app drain battery and cause instability.

Just kill app you don't use, like games or tools, but let all the service manage themselves, it's better :-)

Try system panel :-)

When I have installed games like Sniper vs Sniper, Homerun Battle 3d and Asphalt. They all have me to download more files but they are always installed on the internal SD instead of the External SD. Is there a way to prevent this?
[Vibrant General] acjames:
anyone have any ideas?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Any reason why you would NOT want them on the near 2 gigs allocated?
[Vibrant General] acjames:
I want the installations to go on the External Card and they are all installing on the internal card. Maybe the thread topic is misleading....
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
No, just curious why 2 gigs is not enough. Especially when faster than external. Doesn't make sense...
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
Its the way the SDs are mounted. Sdcard/sd is the external. The app just looks for sdcard/ which is the internal.

He's taking about the internal sd not the /data apps dir.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant General] acjames:
Yes thats what im referring to. I want everything to be on the external. On other phones like the Evo, the games "extra" files are installed on the Ext SD Card.
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is there are 3 storage options:

1. Phone's 2GB internal memory: this is where apps are installed

2. Phone's 12GB internal memory: internal memory you can mount to PC and move files back and forth

3. External SD card slot: can use up to 32GB of microSD card here.

OP, what exactly are you looking to do? Put the apps installed on the 2GB internal ROM on the external SD card? I don't think this is doable w/o rooting, maybe 2.2 Froyo will have it.
[Vibrant General] acjames:
Games like Homerun Battle 3d. When you install it, it tells you that it has to download more information to store on your SD Card. On the HTC Evo, the downloaded information stores on the external SD Card in the /com2us folder. On the Vibrant, the extra information that is downloaded stores on the internal SD card in the same folder. I would rather have all the extra info store on the EXT SD Card.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
Sorry I wasn't really clear on my on my post. Most phones don't have an internal SD card, so the standard mount for the external SD card is the sdcard/ partition, so the app automatically mounts the data there. You'll have to reprogram the app to see the SGS external SD card mounting directory of sdcard/sd

[Vibrant General] sigeltek:
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but this has happened twice to me now, in a week. I have the snooze set to 3x10 (which I find odd that you have to enable snooze in the first place) however, it doesn't always work, like this morning I hit snooze and once again the alarm never came back.

and I'm not hitting the wrong button, at least they used different colors for the two.
[Vibrant General] chodemickey:
Mine is working great. Never had a problem and I actually love the new alarm clock. I thought it was strange to have to enable it, but I'm guessing it's because they gave you the ability to customize the snooze feature and just decided to have it turned off by default (not what I would've done but it wasn't that big of a deal to turn it on)
[Vibrant General] srqt:
I have the same issue the alarm is pretty bad.
[Vibrant General] GizDrak:
I have not seen that problem on my Vibrant.

But it does remind me of the good old days when I first got my G1 its stock alarm clock would just not work at all sometimes it was like a random chance of it going off.... made me late for work twice lol.
[Vibrant General] psychedelicx:
Same problem here.

This morning, I found that if I hit the volume down key instead of the snooze button, it works.

Also, anyone figure out what's the point of Smart Alarm?
[Vibrant General] sigeltek:
Smart Alarm is an alarm that starts before your regular alarm lol... you can have it play rain sounds or morning bird chirps for 3 minutes before your alarm goes off.
[Vibrant General] all4degame:
I'm having issues with my alarm as well. This morning mine failed to go off at all, fortunately I set my touch as a backup.
[Vibrant General] DaMaDo:
For some reason it doesn't give me a snooze option when the smart alarm goes off.

Also I got to work late this morning because my alarm didn't go off at all. I had fallen to sleep using the "Sleepy Time" app and apparently when it's running, the alarm won't go off.

At least I hope it's that app because if it isn't then I have some unknown issue that makes the alarm unreliable.
[Vibrant General] sigeltek:
Yeah I'm just gonna have to get me a cheap alarm clock... It's hard to trust it, i've been late twice now in a week...
[Vibrant General] scotolsen:
i've used the alarm clock since the day it came out and it's never let me down yet. make sure you don't have a task killer that kills it before it can come on and that when you snooze you actually long-press on the button to do so. i'm sure i told you a bunch of stuff you already know/have tried, but i wanted to make sure.
[Vibrant General] Minker17:
I set my snooze to try it out and it only worked once. I think I had it set on 10 minutes, 3 times, and it didn't work.
[Vibrant General] joymonkey:
Same problems here. I've got my Snooze set to "10 min, 5 times" and it doesn't work. I hit Snooze in the morning, then wake up an hour later and have to scramble to get ready for work.

I'm going to see if I can install the stock Android clock/alarm on it instead.
[Vibrant General] Inat:
I use AlarmClock Plus instead of the stock program. No complaints so far.
[Vibrant General] MrRuckus:
Sounds like there may be a problem with snooze. I use the regular alarm and set 3 different times in the morning, all have worked since I setup the phone, but I dont use the snooze option.
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
I've had alarm issues on this and other samsung phones. They just don't work very well. I am using math alarm clock (paid app) now, can be found in the market. I love it and have had no issues. Plus I can't shut it off without looking at it which helps me, a very heavy sleeper, wake up.
[Vibrant General] BeverageNinja:
What I've noticed is that if you have check marks on both the morning alarm and the normal alarm, in the same alarm profile, the morning alarm will go off first and only display the option of stopping that alarm, no snooze option appears on screen. The problem is that the morning alarm will stop all alarms in that alarm profile. So that back up alarm you set for 15 minutes after the morning alarm is also canceled once you stop it.

Making two alarm profiles fixed that problem for me.
[Vibrant General] MTC44:
I use Math Alarm in the market. It's a couple of bucks, but it might be the best non-root paid app I've ever used. You can set the math problems to varying degrees of difficulty and, for sound sleepers like me, it's a very useful tool.
[Vibrant General] kraftey:
I've never had a problem with the snooze that I can concretely tie to the application and not my sleepiness... but there have been some oddities. Tried snooze a few days ago and it worked fine, though.

Never had any troubles with the alarm going off (that would be hell). I actually like this alarm because it makes you press/hold instead of just tapping the dismiss/snooze button. That seems to help me actually wake up cause I have to think about it (as sad as that sounds...).
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I personally have two physical alarms set.

1) 7:00am with 2 snoozes

2) 7:30am with no snoozes

So far I've used and messed with both since I've had my phone and like clock work they both haven't failed me once. I do however turn my phone off now and then and often my phone is off and when I am forced to get up at 6am to help the wife get out the door I go back to sleep and I rely on my phone after I turn it on to wake me back up.
[Vibrant General] DarkSideGTI:
Mine only snoozed once today although I had it set to do it 3 times.

Hi all...

I'm using an EVO for work. love it. but one big problem.

when i'm composing a email, and then accept an incoming phone call - the email i WAS working on is gone! not good.

i thought the device would automatically save the email in the draft folder in order to take the phone call...but nope. it's gone.

can someone offer some insight and suggestions (other than start using two phones...or press "ignore" to a critically important phone call)?

Got my phone back

I finally got my phone yesterday. Everything is fixed except for one small thing. A small problem I found was that there was no small icon getting displayed (which we click), which comes on top next to "To:" while sending sms, which helps us to add recipient for the SMS. Now I have to click on the menu link to add recipients. I guess i would call the guys again for that....but its not a big issue.

Nevermind I was told that the hardware was originally having some problem. Maybe thats why the charged battery can now run for more than one day. Earlier I was charging it everyday. Due to moisture(during rain) the problem(headset icon) could have come. We need to take extra precaution during rain. He told me that we should put phone inside the leather cover upside down, otherwise moisture can come at where we put the headset jack. I hope this helps someone....

Solution

Had the same problem,

Installed an app, via a website, code.google.com/p/toggleheadset

Funny thing is that after installing, the app won't show in the main menu. But go to the home screen, find some empty space, press the + sign in the right bottom of your screen, select widget and Headset Toggle Widget.

It works, not the way it should, but hey... you can use your phone again..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffordlee:
If your phone's out of warranty, open it up and use a needle to lift up the pin in the 3.5mm socket that is activated even when no headphones are inserted. If you don't wanna open it, wriggle a stick in the hole or forcefully insert and remove your headphone jack a few times. That should do the trick!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxtic:
My HTC is away show icon headphone and it can't talk.

I found solution for fix it call app in market "HTC Headphone Fix"

======================================================

If your HTC the headphones and mic icon showed up onscreen and can't turn it off...even though nothing's plugged. Your HTC it stuck headset icon.

So you can't talk with normal mic on your phone , Only use with smalltalk.

This widget can fixes problems with the 3.5mm headphone/headset fix jack HTC on android

- Fix HTC the headphone jack that now it thinks there is headphone plugged in at all times

- Automatic fix HTC to default mic/speaker phone output

- Allows manual or automatic toggle of the headphones connector output. So you can manual routing to the headphones output

After installing, press Menu button at the home screen, then add "HeadSet Fix" to widget

======================================================

Now my HTC is normal talk , I happy with this app.

same problem with headphones stuck

Hello all, I have a same problem with my HD2. It's cannot be fixed at home by myself because the mainboard is physically damaged (one electronic component near 3.5" jack is torn away) but the PDA is still functional as phone under Android with the "HTC headphone fix" widget.

Under WM 6.5 it's headphone icon shown and device is unusable as phone without the headphones. Is there some program or tweak for the Windows Mobile, analogic to "HTC headphone fix"?

P.S. I'm tried to set registry entry HKLM\Hardware\State ... Headset = 0, install some programs like FSC Audio Path, AudioRoute, AudioSwitch, troca2.exe, etc... nothing helps. Any advices and opinions are appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmsutton3:
Okay, I know this is a total newb question, and I hope I won't get flamed for it.

I used Unrevoked3 in order to root my phone. I do have root access (Titanium Backup, Superuser Permission, Wi-fi tether all work) but my HBoot is still 79.0 The NAND is still locked and I figured out that I have to unlock it to install some custom ROMs, especially the CM nightlies which is what I want.

So I tried Toast's Rooting and Nand Unlocked Method, I tried Biles, I tried Simpleroot OTA (for about 7 hours and it drove me ****ing mad), and nothing seems to work so far. Every single PC36IMG I download from the forum threads, no matter what, the bootloader always gives me the 'Main Version is older!' fail message and refuses to load it.

Can anyone offer help? Step by step directions? Anything like that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I've seen a lot of people with this issue, but I never saw the fix for it. What software version are you on now? 1.47? If so, if you don't care about losing everything, you might want to start over by running the stock RUU for either the original 1.32.651.1 or 1.32.651.6 ROMs.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_ROMs

Then you can start at the top and do it right. I flipped back and forth between toast's and TheBiles' tutorials, and I had no problem.

By the way, you are using the OTHER version of the PC36IMG.zip file for the 2nd part of the guides, right? There are two versions you need to use, you can't just re-use the first one when you need to do the second re-flash for full rooting. There is also an order when you're pushing those four files (including the recovery.img and the flash_image and whatever that other one is) because you have to set permissions, then run one, then upload another one, etc.

Let me know if you want a walkthrough, PM me or something.

mount the phone. Open the appropriate drive (2 should show). One us the internal for the os. The other is the 2 gig with avatar (sdcard/sd).

Copy to your desktop.

Get the new card with adapter mounted to pc now. Right click and format fat.

power off the phone after properly unmounting.

Swap cards in phone. Mount it again to pc. Move the avatar folder to new sd.

unmount. I would reboot. Make sure avatar works. if it didn't, you did not listen.
