[XPERIA X10 General] kindred7:
Hi everyone,

Basically I am experiencing several nuisances that I hope some of you might have answers too.

Screen lock: The problem here is especially when reading something the screen will lock as its supposed to and I will have to unlock it with the slide lock in addition to the unlock pattern (I enabled it). What I'm looking for is a way to delay the screen lock. For example, if the screen blacks this should be an indication the screen is about to lock, allowing a 2-5 sec window for me to stop the locking if I'm looking at something.

Keyboard: I have the HTC IME mod, the one that comes with the rooting process. What I experience is when I am typing and if I make a mistake and use the left most arrow key to navigate to the mistake and correct it and then use the right most arrow key to navigate back this key will insert a "o" character for every time its pushed. I can push backspace and backspace will delete all of this characters at once. But if I pus the same key again it puts the "o" back. The only way to correct this is to use the left most arrow key once and then i can use the right most arrow key to navigate back.

Does anyone have any way around these issues?
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
Just constantly touch the screen or do something so it won't auto-lock.

Alternatively, just set the timeout higher.

I've never heard of the second issue.
[XPERIA X10 General] JayJ-1974:
I've had the keyboard problem with stock X10i keyboard, I turned off "word suggestion" which I found to be annoying rather than helpful. Problem solved!

As for the screen timeout problem you either extend the time before the screen times out, go to "Settings", "Sound & display" and "Screen timeout". You can set for a number of minutes or never and to make the phone sleep you'll need to press the lock button or there are apps on the market with a widget that that stops the phone sleeping until it is pressed again.

Hope that helps.
[XPERIA X10 General] TechGuru_x10:
Keyboard: Press Space and then remove the o with backspace. it works....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
So I was just kinda curious about this. Personally I use either handcent or chomp sms. But I want to know why no one has improved the lag issue on the stock messaging app. I personally get and receive about a thousand texts every other day. And deleting them can be difficult ex. I got invited to a wedding and deleted the info. I was wondering if anyone is working on it or if they just say use chomp and handcent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
So I just checked and it seems like the latest cyanogen nightly has fixed it. It loaded up over a thousand texts and opened the app in a blink of the eye. I'll see if performance continues
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] air2k57:
Is there a way we could install HTC messaging app on our vibrants? Maybe somebody has an apk file to try? I love Samsung one, but it lags so bad at times!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
FYI, its not the htc app, but the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 for the nexus one will install just fine on the vibrant, IF you have root, and delete the stock application.

cheers
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MRCLrider:
Is there a stickey for doing such process?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] air2k57:
Could you link me to the apk file? I do have root. Thank you for the info!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] air2k57:
Once you have root, you could either do it via adb, or go download root manager and delete stock app, then you should.be able to install the apk file of the other messaging client.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] air2k57:
Anybody?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] sunny342:
I just saw this lifehacker post that shows you how to turn of sense ui on a droid eris. Does anyone know if this works on an aria. And can you switch back and forth between sense and vanila. Thanks

:D
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] symond:
i use launcherpro much better than sence ui and the other home too
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] oahceasgnikgneas:
I tried it and it didn't work for me, but maybe that is because I fail at following instructions. Or it could be that it just doesn't work with the Aria. The update on the article does state that it doesn't work on all HTC phones.

Anyway, I manage to clear the defaults but pressing the home key doesn't allow me to set the interface.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] DKuntz2:
It doesn't work on the aria...

I think they completely removed the vanilla launcher fron the aria.

Like it was said before, you can just install another home app. My personl favorite is SlideScreen, which shows any new voicemail, missed calls, sms messages, calendar events, your google reader feed, twitter feed, stocks, and facebook messages (note, I am not part of the SlideScreen team, I've just found it to be really great). I've also tried out HelixLauncher, which I like more than LauncherPro, Sense, or the vanilla launcher.

You should know that the HTC widgets only work with the sense launcher, so if you're looking for a nice flip clock widget you should get Beautiful Widgets, which has a copy of most of HTC's nice widgets.

[General Questions and Answers] TheLandYacht:
First, I guess, my system setup. Just bought a new phone, and the old one (original HTC Touch) did not have this symptom, phone being the only thing changed.

2 different computers, both running XP Pro.

ActiveSync 4.5.0 (Build 5096) on both machines

HTC Touch Pro 2 (purchased with WM6.5 already installed)

Seems to be an intermittent issue, doesn't happen all the time and doesn't happen every time I connect the phone. Sometimes the phone will work perfectly for hours on end, then I'll notice I haven't gotten an SMS in a while. When I unplug the mini-USB cable, about 15 seconds later the notification'll go off & I've suddenly got a stack of new messages.

I've tried while using JUST the phone's SMS functions.

I've tried with two PC passthrough SMS programs (Jeyo MC & Raspberry TrueConnectSMS) that allow sending/recieving SMS messages directly from a program on the desktop.

The issue doesn't seem to have a trigger that I can isolate. It's happened in all three of the above test scenarios.

Suggestions anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] Mark Crouch:
Right-click the Activesync icon in your system tray and select "Connection Settings" - you'll need to check "Allow wireless connections...." in order to allow the passthrough of data connections (where wireless equates to anything that isn't USB!!) for things such as SMS etc.

Hope that helps,

Mark.
[General Questions and Answers] TheLandYacht:
Nope, that setting was already checked...and this is an intermittent issue. I would expect that setting to effect the problem all the time if that were the case. Thanks for the attempt though.
[EVO 4G General] mcampos7:
Is it just me, maybe I missed something, .. been anxiously awaiting 2.2, flashed it today, what are the pros? No wifi tether, capped fps, no UI enhancements (that I noticed). Anyone wanna tell me they are lovin it, and why? Maybe I was expecting too much. :confused:

Sorry wrong thread, tryin to figure out how to delete...
[EVO 4G General] beastmods:
ITs FROyO!!!!!!!! lol

this should not be posted here. post in q and a.

and do some more reading because many of those things work.

and how about making your phone 3 to 5 times faster!!!

use the search button to the top right:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] EVO-lution of Man:
It's much faster for one and more refined than earlier builds. That last past is much more apparent in aosp builds then with sense. And there is WiFi tether. You just have to use the latest apk. And just an FYI, prepare to ne flamed by someone. This type of post belongs in q&a.
[EVO 4G General] clem3:
My main reason full flash internet watch YouTube etc... directly from/in the phones browser!!! Oops my bad ... don't call it a phone call it Evo ... (mini laptop/handtop) LOL

[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
yeah. well no rom with working 4G. FM radio and HDMI anyways
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
so WiFi Tethering is working on your ROM? if so that is great to hear.

I going to go read your thread and try to get some confirmation of this.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
You really really can tell the phone is less sluggish. Video-taking is much improved because of this. The speed of which i can snap photos of funny **** my kids are doing is so important to me. They can be doing funny things for half a second and can't stand any lag.

The signal seems improved to me in my area with the new radio flash. so thats good

The phone is just loads better at what it is supposed to do.
[EVO 4G General] jigglywiggly:
The only one worth mentioning in that lot is 4g.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Ya...Try one of the Kernels floatin around to speed things up:D
[EVO 4G General] s23mosley:
I just flashed BakedSnack's rom (Thank you kind sir) and it's scary fast. 47 MFLOPS compared to 7 on 2.1. I just tested the wifi-tethering and it worked seamlessly. I also don't have the FPS capped situation. I'm averaging around 50 at the moment.
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
how's your BT? reports are saying it does not work
[EVO 4G General] melman22:
wrong

wrong im running Ava-froyov3reva rom and everything works 4g, wifi tether and i dont have a hdmi cable but im pretty sure it works, and this is a sense rom
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
you are WiFi tethered to your EVO and browsing XDA? discoverable does not mean it's working

**funny how the last two people replying on here saying Baked and Ava's roms work flawlessly it was their first post on XDA. just sayin'
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
I was just about to say the same.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Modtard:
Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with my connection problems. I have a touch pro 2 with Winmo 6.5 running the energy rom. I don't have a data plan so in connections I changed the preferred networks for programs to "my work network." The problem is that when I connect to my home network through wifi, neither of the installed browsers work. I have opera 10 and skyfire and they both can't connect. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] waltah!:
It's been a while since I used Tilt 2, but I think you need to change proxy setting in Setting and connection. I could be off, but I seem to remember that being an issue.

[General Questions and Answers] TheLandYacht:
First, I guess, my system setup. Just bought a new phone, and the old one (original HTC Touch, WinMo 6.1) had a setting for this but I can't seem to find a corresponding setting in the new phone, phone being the only thing changed.

HTC Touch Pro 2 (purchased with WM6.5 already installed). It's a new (to me) phone, so I don't know that much about it yet.

What I want is, if someone calls me half a dozen times in a row (or I miss half a dozen calls in a row from the same number), I'd like to see that reflected in my call log. In WinMo6.1, I remember it being a difficult-to-find setting (which I can no longer seem to find). Oddly enough, outgoing calls are already "unstacked", so if I call the same number 5 times, I get 5 entries in the call log.

I need this cuz sometimes when someone calls (or tries) that many times, it's cuz there's an emergency...and I would return their call first, even if they weren't the first person to call me.

[G1 Android Development] erebusting:
I have been having issues with getting my GPS to work. I have tried installing the latest Radios and changing roms, wiping and rebooting...all kinds of things and when I try to use the navigate feature in the maps application, it says 'searching for gps...' forever. Any suggestions? What can we do? I know I am not the only one with this issue...
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
It works but its just been flaky since I went to Eclair/Froyo roms.

Never had any of these issues with the early donut stuff. So I consider it related to that.
[G1 Android Development] Shrivel:
No real need for a "think tank" on this subject - the G1 GPS has worked great since the Donut update and last couple radio updates. The problem is more than likely due to using a ROM that was never intended to be used on our G1s.
[G1 Android Development] erebusting:
so are you saying that by using a ROM that was never intended to be used on our G1's that my gps is now broken? Or under that ROM it is unusable ?... Also, is your GPS turn by turn navigation working fine? Mine has not been working for a while now, and I have searched and asked alot and have not been able to fix it with any of the suggestions, so I was hoping by starting this thread we could get a solution or some solutions going...

[G1 Android Development] highlandsun:
I suggest to anyone trying to diagnose GPS issues, don't bother for the next couple days...

http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/08/02/2028228

Mine was working perfectly on CM5.0.8 but in the past few days it's been locating me several hundred miles from my true position, without any software changes. I think we're just in for a period of noisy signal...
[G1 Android Development] the_fish:
actually i can confirm having similar issues... it seems like the antenna is disconnected or sth... the gps chip seems to be found, no errors on that unlike on a diff. G1 i checked that had it disconnected, which gave me problems there already. also it finds satellites but only up to 3 which is not enough for location correlation... so i guess our problem is a hardware thing... unfortunately
[G1 Android Development] exile20:
i admit, since moving to eclair and froyo my gps has been very temperamental. It is so undependable, if i leave the house in a hurry i am screwed. I have to leave the gps on for a while to get a lock then i can leave the house.
[G1 Android Development] r3s-rt:
Mines working perfect. However, if you find yourself constantly needing the use of navigation, then I suggest you go buy an actual GPS. Yes, your phone can DO IT, but it's not the main function of your phone. You shouldn't rely on your phone for an extra function. I usually only result to phone navigation when I need to get somewhere quick and right then and have absolutely no idea where its at or how to even get close to it. I've maybe used it 4 times. Every time I use it, it works perfectly for me.

As lbcoder said, many things can block or interfere with your GPS signal. Have any of you tested somewhere very spacious and open with no buildings or anything? You may be surprised at how much a difference outside can make. Mine generally does ok inside, but works much better outside. This is true for generally everywhere for me.
[G1 Android Development] erebusting:
I do not live near any tall buildings at all (the closest tall building is at least a mile or a 1/2 a mile away.
[G1 Android Development] pk2:
Is the antennae in place (exposed, like a small shinny screw just left of the sim card)? It’s fathomable the antennae slipped ajar or even fell out, especially if you’ve tinkered at all with it’ guts.

Regards, PK
[G1 Android Development] erebusting:
No, it is not exposed. I was thinking the same thing, but the guts have never been messed with.

I was trying to revert it back to stock the other day to see if that would change it, but I could not even find the right donut file to download.

I have the latest radio, I dont know about the SPL though (I will check when im done writing this...) and the ROM that I am currently using is Super F test 2, but I have had this issue with every other ROM...

Maybe there is a ROM or ROM/ Radio/ SPL combination that someone could suggest? (I dont know if that will even work for me though, but thanks in advance)
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Like I said before, I found my gps to work much better on Donut. Try Super D 1.9.3 or enoms official donut. I never had issues with those.
[G1 Android Development] erebusting:
are you referring to Turn by Turn navigation GPS?
[G1 Android Development] r3s-rt:
Like I said, get a GPS system. You shouldn't depend on your phone for something like this. You should only depend on your phone to make phone calls.

You can try Donut. If you want to unroot here:

http://tinyurl.com/yenhdpx

Extract that, place on root of sdcard, and boot holding camera. It will detect it and ask you the press send. If you press send, you will start reverting to stock 1.0. Cupcake must be updated through a new recovery.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
I am referring to the GPS used in maps that is turned on by either the power widget or via settings/location/ use GPS.
[G1 Android Development] erebusting:
ok yeah that is what I was talking about, but...you know say in maps, when you get directions then tap on 'navigate' and then it opens 'google navigation' ...that is where I have the GPS problem...it will locate me fine but wont give me turn by turn directions as a true pure GPS device would, it just says "searching for GPS..." forever...even if I leave it over night.
[G1 Android Development] deuse:
Download some trial GPS software from the market and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] Gerdal:
Do nandroid backup, flash dreaimg.nbh, root again, flash any custom rom/recovery and test again. It works for me if I have problems with hardware. For example - this can fix problems with broken sdcard reader (I have this problem sometime ago when I was damaged data on one of partitions in ROM (mtdblock)), flashing new radio or spl (when after "succesfully" flashing you still have the older one), broken wifi (if this is not related with bugs in ROM) or... broken GPS :)

After everything you can restore your nandroid backup. If problem isn't related to bugs in ROM, everything should works correctly.
