[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpantz:
Gang,

Full disclosure - I've lurked here for the past few months, but have only just been stirred to register to try and resolve this issue. I'm thinking that if anyone can help me resolve this, it's you guys. That said, I hope to be able to contribute some myself going forward.

OK, now that I've got that out of the way...

Recently, I've been having problems with recurring meetings from Exchange on my Incredible's ActiveSync calendar. Specifically, the problems seem to start whenever I modify one instance of a recurrence (move one to another day, for example) inside Outlook on my PC - (not on the phone). What seems to be happening is that although that particular changed instance shows up on my HTC calendar in its new spot, the rest of the recurrence disappears and - even worse - I can no longer get ANY recurring meetings to sync to the phone, even if I create new ones.

If I remove the ActiveSync account, delete Calendar Data (Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Calendar Storage > Clear Data and ...Calendar > Clear Data) and re-add the account, I still have the problem and - what's worse - ALL my recurring meetings are gone (but any exceptions to them remain - WTF?!).

Before anyone asks, all recurrences have end dates (I've read plenty about recurrences w/o end dates causing problems).

To date, the only way I've found to completely fix this is to do a factory reset (yuck). Of course, the minute I modify an instance of a recurring meeting, the problem starts all over.

Anybody else see this? Provided there's no fix, is there a better way to fully flush calendar data to see if I can avoid resetting the phone? There's GOT to be something I'm missing in terms of cleaning out the calendar data, because a factory reset fixes it. Like I said above, I clear out two spots in Manage Applications: Calendar and Calendar Storage.

It's killing me. I'm clearly not doing enough by clearing data for Calendar and Calendar Storage, but I'm thinking a factory reset HAS to be overkill. Anybody know how to more fully flush the calendar data?

Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas. I'm pulling my hair out over here.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValhallaSky:
I've had this problem as well, except with Google Calendar as I personally don't use Exchange.

Clearing Calendar and Calendar Storage fixes my problem, but I think the issue is that HTC had to bridge the gap left by Eclair to sync with Exchange servers. So, my thought is to perhaps try clearing the Sync Service or Sync Feeds (tired brain has trouble with memory recall) in addition to Calendar and Calendar Storage.

Good news is reports indicate that the FroYo update contains a fix baked in by HTC. :)

Hope that was in any way helpful.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpantz:
Thanks for the advice. Tried it, but to no avail.

That said, I'm an avid Tasker user and happened across a new thread in the Tasker Google Group that sounded awfully familiar. Did some troubleshooting and was able to prove that if I have a profile that monitors my calendar (whether this profile is enabled OR disabled), the recurring meeting problem crops up. Sucks, because I really liked my "Don't be a Jerk!" profile that automatically put my phone on vibrate when I had a meeting with "1:1" in the title.

Go figure!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValhallaSky:
That is interesting to learn! I'm a fellow Tasker and couldn't live without the program.

Hmm... I wonder if a usb sync via HTC Sync and Outlook would be a temporary fix to "reset" your calendar when it goes haywire? It's rather left field, but worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
I have the same issue and not only with recurring appointments. sometimes the reminder doesn't show up -and sound- even if it's not a recurring appointment.

the funny think is that it happens only with the appointents that I created... it's becoming really frustrating.

I never connect my phone to my PC to synch it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt2020:
Known issue. Reported and confirmed by HTC along time ago. They "hope" to have it corrected in new release. Work with all recurring events from outlook or OWA, don't attempt to alter, move or do anything to them from the INC.

If you use Google connector and sync to google you are OK, but pretty lame for a phone that was suppose to be exchange compatible. HTC said it's due to the "Sense" interface and the way it connects to the phone's database.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpantz:
So HTC has confirmed there's an issue when you modify appointments from the phone? Not a big issue for me, because all I ever do is accept others' invitations and MAYBE set up a quick meeting here and there. All my calendar work is in Outlook directly. Thanks for the heads-up, though. Seems silly that a UI layer would introduce issues in database connectivity. Sounds like some of the projects that go on at work - LOL.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnpwu:
Wow, I just now realized that I have a similar problem: ANY recurring appointment disappears from my calendar. Regardless of how I make it recurring (on the phone, on my PC, OWA, etc.) This is positively infuriating.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
I actually have the recurring meetings on my phone; however the reminder is gone and the phone is not reminding me that is very annoying. for corporate users this is an awful limitation.

I'm trying to manually add the reminder to the appointment (on the phone) and see if it helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnpwu:
I tried creating the recurring appointments on the phone, which is a pain and you have extremely limited options for recurrences. The second I saved the appointement, it disappeared from my phone, but appeared on my exchange calendar online... I'm thinking about attempting to just export my recurrences from exchange to my google calendar...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnpwu:
Clearing those two items worked for me!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
I setup all my appointments with my laptop; using the phone just screws it up. then the meetings appear on the phone without reminder.

MLT2004 confirmed it's a known issue.

for me it's mainly an issue with the reminder (VERY annoying for me since I rely on it a lot) but should I need to setup meetings on the phone I would be in trouble.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
I always thought it was and activsync problem. I had this problem for 2 years with my Moto Q. Haven't had my Incredible long enough to see if this one is doing it too. Then again since I don't have to use Activesync with this phone I don't. Maybe it's the Activesync that's causing all this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnpwu:
So now I seem to have a new problem, and I don't mean to hijack the thread (i'll happily start a new one if the OP prefers, but I suspect taht these issues aer related): All of my exchange appointments show up perfectly in my calendar. Even my recurring appointments. The problem is, my exchange calendar is not showing up, ie, the phone seems to realize that these appointments exist, but does not seem to "see" the exchange calendar. If I open an exchange appointment, I can see that it is, in fact, in my exchange calendar. However, if i go to "more" under calendar, I can see my gmail calendar, "My Calendar," "PC Sync," and "US Holidays." If I uncheck them ALL, my exchange appointments remain, but again, I cannot "see" the calendar, to add appointments, etc.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CASTRO2:
I've been running Cyanogen tazz since v1 and have loved it. I was removing some things with Titanium Backup today, and now i cannot receive sms, but I can still send them. I've tried wiping and re-flashing the rom, flashing a different rom, and a nand restore, and I still have the problem. Any ideas?

I tried searching but couldn't find anything, so please dont kill me if this is something i should have found on my own...

have you figured it out mines doing the same thing?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spl4tt:
i want to know too! ;(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joshwah:
I wanted to know what the signs were for the signal on the phone. (H,E,G). Thanks to anyone who can help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Those letters stand for what data standard is available for use where you are.

H stands for HSDPA/HSUPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access/High Speed Uplink Packet Access), which means that 3G data is available and the phone will utilize it.

E stands for EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution), which is a 2.75G data standard significantly slower than HSPA.

G stands for GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and is a 2.5G data standard which is significantly slower than EDGE or HSPA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joshwah:
Thank you!
[EVO 4G General] holob:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/04/...re-its-mouth-is-announces-lte-trial/#comments

In case anyone doesn't realize, clearwire is owned primarily by Sprint and is used for all of Sprint's 4g services.

I thought they forgot about us when they were actually just waiting to announce we were getting both LTE AND WiMAX!
[EVO 4G General] jahnile:
That's insane , in a good way off course. To have both LTE And wimax, oh boy this is scary.
[EVO 4G General] holob:
Time to start checking for 4g every couple of days - clearwire has a habit of turning up their wimax radios long before they actually release a press release saying it's fully turned on...
[EVO 4G General] foueddyf:
It will be a trial, but will it be an internal trial?

If I live in Phx, will I get those insane speeds with my Evo this fall?

That'd be mostly welcome =D
[EVO 4G General] holob:
You won't be able to use LTE (which they are touting as having the "insane speeds") with the Evo as it is WiMAX only, but when they say a trial, I assume they are referring to at least turning on Sprint device access to WiMAX.
[EVO 4G General] ort84:
I thought the main difference between Wimax and LTE was software and not hardware, so with an update to our radio it should be able to access the LTE network. :confused:
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
About damn time.....
[EVO 4G General] Rdot9:
sweet, ill just be getting back there for school, this works out perfectly :)
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Wait, I just realized this means absolutely nothing for us as of now. This isn't an official release of "sprint's" 4g, just an expansion of clear's infrastructure that's already here.

Sorry guys, until Sprint opens the doors on clear's 4g for us, then there's nothing to get excited about.
[EVO 4G General] JBundy:
naw son

The EVO is WiMax only. It's core processor is not configured for LTE's modulation and would require physical correction to activate LTE capabilities, as software would only "allow" it, but wouldn't make it happen. As far as WiMax availability, WiMax would only become availabe via a deliberate build-out of WiMax capable reception towers. These LTE trials are on a "minimum necessary" basis i.e. they don't erect many towers, won't include multimode WiMax/LTE towers, and it's possible the towers in these trials may only be used on temporary licensing and zoning permits that require their dismantling after a certain period of time or require costly re-certification. In addition, it'd be unwise for a cash flow ignorant company like Sprint/Clear to continue wasting money by erecting multimode LTE/WiMax towers when WiMax has already been proven enough that it should just be deployed. Multimode towers will continue to be more costly to run with the increasing demand for network capacity. If multimode towers are used just for a trial, it'd really be a spit in the face to those already paying for 4G speeds with the data premium required for having a EVO.
[EVO 4G General] holob:
I believe Sprint gets automatic access to clear's 4g when they turn it on. Press releases usually coincide for Sprint and Clearwire to the minute and Sprint is the controlling and majority shareholder for Clearwire. Once Clearwire turns on WiMAX service here, we should have access to it.

Also, if you notice in Clear's press releases they mention "wholesale" customers and that they get a "nominal" fee for them even if they aren't in a covered area. Basically, Clearwire gets an automatic chunk of that $10 fee we pay even if we aren't in a 4g area.
[EVO 4G General] holob:
It says specifically that they are doing a multimode trial here and previous Clearwire and Sprint statements have indicated that they are looking to build out LTE (and possibly transition away from WiMAX completely eventually). The main reason for this is likely that all other nationwide cell providers in the US will be going LTE and Sprint does not want to be the odd-man-out with WiMAX. It's likely that they were leave both on for a while and transition to LTE-only eventually. Clearwire has the spectrum to leave both on at the same time for a while.
[EVO 4G General] JBundy:
Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected. Clearwire should be kissing Intel's ass for being able to go multimode. @Holob, maybe post what you observe this fall??? Looking forward to it here in Wisconsin. We have been given no forward looking statement of when to expect anything here.
[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
The results of the trial is the direction Sprint/Clearwire will go. Sprint wants to change its core network so either they will do LTE/WiMax, transition to WiMax 2 (no way that's happening), or fully transition their current WiMax to LTE. They are planning to upgrade current WiMax 802.16e to WiMax 802.16e Enhanced, which bridge them closer to WiMax 2, TD-LTE, and FDD-LTE.

Another issue is which version of LTE will Sprint/Clearwire chooses. If they decide to go with TDD-LTE, they will be still be the odd man out. The majority of the world is going with FDD. Different bands will be an issue, but roaming agreements will probably take place. All of the US carriers will need this be to solved.

Sent from the EPIC 4G with Sprint.
[Nexus One General] pmow:
After reading around on the forums and seeing people getting theirs fixed for around $120, I was more than willing to pay. HTC said the same price, but they just quoted me $55! It was a smallish crack and the touch sensor still worked.

Just wanted to let y'all know that it could be less as well as more! Cheers :)
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
Considering the shortage of amoled screens. Maybe you got an slcd screen instead?
[Nexus One General] mkouk:
It does sound like it. Super tft screen should be a lot cheaper to buy from sony since the technology has matured.
[Nexus One General] magma9495:
I recently did a swap because I dropped my phone and the screen cracked. Yesterday, I got my quote of $115. You were lucky to only have to pay that much :P
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
He probably had a cracked glass, not the display or digitizer.
[Nexus One General] RWB2150:
Just to throw my two cents in....

I too had a cracked screen and the actual repair cost was $55. However, during my original phone conversation with HTC they quoted me $115.
[Nexus One General] dalythu:
How long did the turn around take for HTC to fix your phone?
[Nexus One General] RWB2150:
I mailed it to them on July 26th and received it back yesterday, August 5.
[Nexus One General] osugsxr:
not too bad of a turn around time. Just hope Ill keep this phone long enough and not damage it. Very tempting to sell it and buy the latest toy, not being under contract is nice. Almost went for the iphone 4 already, and still am tempted to do so. Most likely just going to unlock the 3gs I currently have sitting around.
[Nexus One General] ChronoReverse:
I wish they'd put a new digitizer with the SLCD screens. I'd consider dropping my n1 heavily and pay to get the new screen lol.

I wonder if it's possible to jury-rig an Incredible's digitizer into the n1...
[Nexus One General] pmow:
Just got it back today. They did say it would take longer as usual because the service center was backed up...in total it took 9 days for them to look at it, fix it, and send it back.

The screen looks quite similar. When looking closely it has the same AMOLED pattern my original phone had, do the SLCD screens also have that pixel pattern?

They ended up swapping the phone for the $55...and yes, I now have a locked bootloader which I can do a sneaky unlock on. Awesome!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Viish:
Hello.

I made a mistake and I deleted mediascape and timescape without making a backup.

Can someone please upload it (version r2b026) ?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I don't think it would do any good. My understanding is that core apps like Timescape and Mediascape can't simply be re-installed.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you'll need to re-root (or at least re-flash one of the firmwares) to get them back.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Im not sure but I seen someone have a problem in '[Q] Rooting contact issue' topic a few posts down.. someone has posted a timescape backup with commands.

not sure if it wil work for sure but atleast this way, if timescape works then mediascape should be possible n al

Hope it helps!!
[G1 General] volcomnator999:
so about an hour ago my g1 stopped sending text messages. i can receive them but cant send. i have the latest radio and ive tried multiple roms and nothing. any suggestions? thanks
[G1 General] volcomnator999:
nvm..fixed it. just got a new sim card. weird
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
Hello,

I really hate the htc dialer and people, does anyone have the stock phone and contact apk that I can use instead of the HTC stuff. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahnile:
U can try luncher pro along with dialer 1 or any other dialer of your choice from the market. The luncher pro allows u to change your lunch screen. U can customize it however you like.
[Vibrant General] GuardianFlash:
I have this problem. I installed the 2.1 music player cause I didn't know vibrant's got its own music player. The player I installed have the playlists I synced from pc. The player that comes with the vibrant wont display the playlists. Where does the vibrant's music player store its playlists so I can move my playlists from the root of my phone.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
Not sure if its due to your new player or not. I had issues seeing playlists with only the stock player installed. Other music players I have installed since have seen the playlists in all the directories just fine. Maybe the vibrant player doesn't handle the standard playlists. (m3u)
[Vibrant General] GuardianFlash:
Samsung Vibrant uses a different music player than other 2.1 roms. The one I installed is the one most android phones come with, which display the playlists I put on the phone/memory card. The one that coems with the Vibrant cannot read playlists. One problem with me is when I press the button on the headphones that were provided to skip a song, the vibrant music player would open itself. Therefore I would have 2 music players opened and 2 songs playing.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
Has anyone with root removed the Vibrant music player successfully? Or is it too ingrained in the OS?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 3vilhomer:
I'm using advance task killer, when I kill everything when I start up I get about 200mb of ram... But after a while I see some programs I don't use but it show up in ATK... Like google maps, moixer mail... I didn't use any of them, y is it on n draining my ram??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dundun1701:
It is not ATK problem, it is Android problem, you can root your fone in order to uninstall unexpecting program.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dexter26:
is it worth it to have the task killer???
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
Hi, And welcome to android!

This is not at all a problem. Android just starts everything and keeps it in 'cache' form . They are not at all draining your RAM as the system manages which program will get how much RAM. Just stop using task Killers and your phone will rum a lot smoother..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 3vilhomer:
Huh, isn't task killer suppose to help save ram?? Cause after all these programs auto running I get about 30mb of ram left according to task killer...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
Hi..the point real united was making is that you don't need to ' save' ram on android. Android manages the memory itself so will remove things which are cached in order to create any memory it needs.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 3vilhomer:
Oo dats awesome! Didn't know android can do dat... Windows mobile 6.5 is a total different think...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
Welcome to the linux world.

Free RAM = wasted RAM

What's the point of having free/unused RAM?

Android will load in memory the apps you use so, when you start one, it will be already in memory so, it only take a sec. for you to start use it.

Android will close the less used apps to free RAM when you use an application.

By killing the apps you won't solve anything because:

1. they will be turned on again by the system => more battery used.

2. when you use them, they will have to be loaded in memory: more processing => more battery used.

Just use the task killer to kill an app when you really have to do it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mano1982:
My answer will be "No". I had the task killer in a very long time, but after unistalling it my mobile has better battery & performs better.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 3vilhomer:
Oo thanx for the tips!! I'm a totally noob in android... Didn't know is so good... So much different from x1...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
Damn windows got me in bad habits lol

Gonna try running tomorrow without it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Wolfbreak:
I have used Task Killer too when i have my X10 new but i realized that Task Killer dont make it better only more worse and since then i dont have used a Task Killer no more and my X10 is better than ever the Battery Life is good and its smooth and dont lags. Only use Task Killer when a Programm makes your Phone lag and dont close itself and stucks in the Background or you can reboot your Phone.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mrtim123:
well said! i have been trying to explain this to my friends that have not experienced the linux world before...this is great :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Saigonian:
Thank you so much for these useful information! Since I have my X10, I've always had Task Killer running and let it kill task automatically without knowing that it can make my phone running out of battery! Many thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] visitador02:
I disagree with some of the comments here. Advance Task Killer has helped me improve the battery life of my phone. The issue is to selectively kill apps that are running on the background for no apparent reason. For example, how many people use Moxier? If you don't use it, it should not be mucking around in the background using processor power.

After using ATK, my phone no longer re-starts from time to time. It used to do that when it ran out of RAM.
