[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Amdathlonuk:
As far as my limtied knowledge goes.

Using the back button does close the apps, unlike hitting the 'home' button which leaves them open in the background.

I don't use a task manager myself and have never had any issues, but I have read (numerous times) that task managers are not required due to the unique way that android controls it's resources.

Thereforeyou can't compare it to other operating systems.

HTH.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] dairymasta:
Don't worry about task manangers, when I first got my streak I used one until I stopped recieving texts and calls and deleted it. I see absolutely no difference between when I used it and now that I don't, the phone is very smooth either way!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Meltus:
The Back button will exit the app (unless the app is coded so it does something different) but the app's process will remain running.

The home button will usually suspend the app as it is so you'll be at the same point when you re-open it (again, unless the app has the home button coded to do something different).

The only way to fully close an app is with a task manager but it's completely pointless having one.

Android works by keeping everything running in the background and when it needs memory it will close the ones it thinks are least important.

It does this because it makes things a hell of a lot faster. A good example, is that when you first load the Gallery app, it has to load all your pictures and videos. Once it's done that, it will then be able to open it again very quickly with everything loaded, unless you kill it with a task manager, then it will have to load everything again. Task managers also have a habit of closing necessary things, resulting in a loss of signal, connectivity, etc.

So, in short, don't bother with a task manager. Android has one built in, which is much more effective.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvenneker:
Im having problems with Google Talk on my phone.

Normally, if u start a chat. and the other person is talking back, u should see the txt under your own txt. But i only see it as a balloon in my top-tray of the phone and do not see the txt written by the other person in the chat overview.

Anyone knows how to solve this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aylarth:
My gf and I also have Galaxy S phones. Her device is running on I9000XXJFB firmware, mine is on I9000XWJM2. Shes having kinda like the same problem with GTalk: the screen is splitted to 2 sides (top&bottom), instead of how mine works (the good old conversation-look, when A-B-A-B persons messages follow each other).

Maybe its firmware-dependent? I did not find any option to change the layout in the settings menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alovell83:
Firmware is probably a good bet. If you want to hold off, have you tested to see what happens if you turn the setting balloon top-tray setting off? Would you see nothing at all? Or would it populate the message how it should.

You probably want the best of both worlds, it's worth a quick test if you have any reason to delay upgrading firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvenneker:
disabling the notification button in the toptray would be a bummer anyway because then i wouldnt be notified if somebody is messaging me.

i downloaded a beta version of Hi GTalk from the market. which is working as it should work :-) so i guess my problem isnt solved with Talk it self, but with installing an alternative app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alovell83:
i think you'd still receive the sound notification. As long as you are going an alternative app route, i'd. consider uninstalling and reinstalling GTalk, it might just be corrupted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvenneker:
good point. i will uninstall it and reinstall.

[edit] hehe i cant uninstall it. its "in the factoryrom" so i see. i dont see it at the installed programs list..?

Hello,

I was trying to flash a new Rom onto my phone (Superfly) and installed the .zip file from clockwork, however, when I try to boot the phone, it sticks at the Mytouch slide screen.

I cant load into the card nor the phone.

Is there any way to reverse this?

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
Hopefully you made a backup. You should still be able to boot into recovery and restore your backup or even flash a new rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dion20:
The problem the OP and myself are having is that we cant load Clockwork recovery, and I think its cause when we flashed the new rom, it did away with USB debugging mode, and now we cant get back into the OS to select it again. I too am stuck in this loop, and I might just have to bite the bullet and bring it in to tmo and tell em it just stopped working for no reason...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
The USB debugging option means nothing while booted in to recovery. If you haven't flashed the engineering rom before you will need to redo the loop/ota.zip/update.zip spoof to get back in to clockwork.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cursexcore:
I did do a nandroid backup, but the phone magically can not find it now. And It took forever to get to work, but I was finally able to get back into clockwork and tried to install another a different rom (Kanged CM6 ROM) but ended with the same results of sticking on the mytouch slide startup screen. Frustrating, because it probably took about 3 hours to get back into clockwork!

Any other suggestions???
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
wipe everything on the phone, find the thread that walks you through that
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
As was noted previously, if you haven't flashed the ESPRIMG rom, you're basically looking at re-rooting your phone every time you want to install a different rom. This means going through the whole process again and again and again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dion20:
thats weird, cause before I could get into clockwork after 2 tries max, not I tried repeatedly for 10 mins and it didnt work, so I should just keep tryin to get into clock work then?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
Yes, keep trying. And when you do, please flash the engineering rom and keep the proper update.zip on your card! It will save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dion20:
will do, theres alot of assumptions around here tho, and newbs to android are kinda expected to know things without them being stated in the threads..

Now I know theres something that makes it so I dont have to go thru the pain of rooting to get into clockwork I'm def gna use it..

what method should I use? Ive been doing the following and no luck so far

1 - cd to android sdk tools folder

2 - vol down + power for recovery

3 - highlight recovery

4 - run loop in cmd

5 - plug usb into phone

6 - plug usb into pc, and before it changes to HBOOT from USB i hit power to select recovery

7 - adb devices sees it as an offline device for a few cycles, then it disappears.

after step 7 I've tried running update.zip

unplugging and plugging back in

ctrl+c to stop the script when its offline

unplug when its noticed as an offline device

whats the best way to get into it now?

======

EDIT - finally got it into recovery, i loaded up htc's recover with it plugged it to the pc so it loaded up HBOOT from USB
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgmode:
normally your are not bricked if:

1. you can boot into recovery

2. you can not boot into recovery yet you can boot into bootloader [HOLD (power + volume down) to boot]

Don't worry I got a black/blank screen of death the other day for flashing the wrong boot.img fortunately I was able to boot into bootloader and start from scratch using the ESPRIMG.zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpaperback:
I agree to an extent, but if you take the time to read through things thoroughly (as in every post in the How To Root or Engineering Build or even Rom Bible thread), you'll be okay. This is my first Android device as well. I put off rooting for a solid couple of weeks while I read through everything I could. I was completely paranoid about bricking my phone. Eventually, I went for it. Even then I had a couple hiccups along the way (including have to re-root two more times), but all the information is here.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cursexcore:
So an update:

I went to a Tmobile retail store to see if I could do a direct swap and am having a new phone sent out to me. I will definately take all the replies into consideration when starting the root process on my new one! My final question is, since I am afraid Tmobile will not find my phone valid to be replaced under warranty due to it being rooted, is there any way to unroot and go back to stock? I have googled it, but cannot find anything specific for the slide...

Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
So I've been using my phone since early April, and I've found several things wrong with the Android 1.6 operating system. The biggest bug I've found with Android 1.6 is that women don't talk to me. I know if SE updated to 2.2, women would be beating each other up for a trip down my pants. Here's a list of other things 1.6 doesn't do or sucks at.

- Adobe Photo Light (It's not a Flash!) doesn't run on 1.6

- It doesn't butter my toast correctly

- When on a phone call, my ears aren't massaged by sound waves (Android 2.4+)

- It doesn't play the PSP UMDs I tried shoving in it

- Apple won't give me a free case for it

- The phone reboots when I ask Google Maps for directions to the End of the Rainbow

- Playing "The Final Countdown" doesn't result in a magic show by GOB.

- It doesn't drive my car

- The teleporting feature is only in Android 2.5 and higher

- It doesn't (deleted) when I (deleted) [Only in Android 6.9]

If you're as unsatified with your Xperia X10 as I am, your only refuge is to wait for the update to Android 2.1 OS, which many tech blogs believe is actually the Second Coming of Christ.

Yes you heard it right, i have a X104 ...which is MORE advanced than your little x10! because it is number 104.

It runs on window 7!, touch screen with a 1024 pressure with a wacom digitizer.

It weights 5.2 LBs total. Built it resist to scratch screen and capable to use it under the most bizarre and harizous condition! It also run on LONGER than your little x10...it runs for 8 hours!!!!

What can i do with it when you can't on your x10 ? Here is some list.

- Read porns in bigger screen than x10

- bang on it every night and it won't break after 5 years of uses

- It emit enough heat to warm my body and soul!

- It direct Missles ... use in military purpose sometime.

- who need android when you have window 7!

- brigther screen under the sun!

- can be use as a lethal weapon

- emit so much radiation.

I understand what your saying but I think that's letting SE off too lightly.

All other high end phones are running at least 2.1 now, and have been for awhile, with most getting updates to 2.2 soon. If other companies can do it, so can SE but for some reason there not putting the effort in.

There were excuses back in early 2010 about why they were adopting 1.6 and to be honest they were just spouting marketing bs, and I feel that's not good enough.

This is my opinion, I sure others will disagree, but when I come to buy my next phone I will buy it from a company that has more respect for it's customers. A company that is not lazy and then spout a load of marketing bs as an excuse as to why they don't need the newest version, when other companies seem fine to provide updates with custom ui and applications.
