[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incos:
same problem here, i don't like "like sweep to unlock" either

do u guys have any solution yet ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alovell83:
I assume you've seen aCircuit Board? Isn't too bad, paid apps weren't available when it came out but I'll probably get it soon. I actually want to get the free one that works with beautiful widgets (haven't bought beautiful widgets because every has been saying its been broken from an update, but when they fix it I'll probably be all over both).

I definitely like the ones that use the accelerometer/motion sensors like the VR paper. I saw one with Android Andy's falling, but it looked a bit too cartoonish for me.

I found Ocean Waves to be quite interactive and nice enough, but it was the one that I've isolated to giving my phone sleep issues so I wont be using it.

Yeah, I agree, I was using that until I got widgetlocker because I found myself having much less "re-dos" on unlock attempts. Now, I just hit a softkey and I'm to my home screen or if you want you can have a slide to unlock that I find more intuitive and accurate than sweep glass.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] =Oberon=:
:confused:Funny how it works great for me.

After the screen times out,no matter how long I wait.. when I press the home key the screen lights up again without the need to sweep. Even after rebooting it works,no need to activate it again.

Awesome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piny12:
You have to launch No Lock and tap the icon in the middle to active it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betoNL:
From all the widgets suggested here, I went straight to "NO LOCK" cause the screen lock for me is superfluous; the home button is safe enough.

It works for me.

-Install widget

-Open widget

-Choose "NO LOCK"

-Then perform a soft reset (pressing and holding power button till device shutts off)

Remains functional after rebooting

Thanks for the tips...got rid of another iPhone clone function.....

*Edit* -Screen lock function loads faster on start up but "no lock" overrides it right after -
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukdtweak:
In reply to the original question, removing the TEXT from the lock screen...

I have looked in the framework file and can see the png.s for the arrows, none of them contains text, therefore I assume the text is being added from one of the XML files, not sure which one though.... Possibly zzz_glass_lock_effect.xml
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spark001uk:
Thinking back to when I first got the phone, with JG3, the sweep to unlock was there for a while, maybe a few days, I can't remember, but then all of a sudden it changed to "phone locked", and without the silly arrows too. Just gone up to JM5 and of course it's back again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ollifl:
Thanks, no lock worked for me. Finally gone, maybe I can actually answer a phone call or two now.

Another fan of No Lock... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barkotron:
Yes, I noticed this on the original firmware I had. It was after setting and removing an unlock pattern. Before the pattern = "sweep glass", after removing it = "phone locked". Same thing happened after two factory resets - reset brought the "sweep glass" back, set pattern/remove pattern got rid of it.

Not any more though :(.

Hi. Its very strange that we all have the coolest phone with the ugliest unlock screen ever. If anyone find a way to replace the existing unlock screen with another one i ll be more then happy!:)

To fix the normal Sweep to screen for the simply lockscreen app ...go into the simply lockscreen options and deceselect...orginal lockscreen!...and BAM works fine. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliKot:
I used simply lockscreen for half a day, then I found out the homescreen overrides it

goddamn useless.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edonia:
"Sweep glass to unlock" and the arrows are so ugly... ashame for samsung. It is looking like the boot animation of my siemens "45 mobile phone (10 years ago)

The only useful solution is a small free app, called "Simply Lockscreen". This one is small and fast enough to overlay the ugly samsung screen. So you don't have to see it anymore.

The actual version seems to working fine. Maybe it has something to do with the lag fix, so the phone is fast enough to hide the original screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i like Simply Lockscreen, but the stock lock screen needs to be Disabled, else sometimes it overrides the Simply Lockscreen :(

anyone know which file to delete to remove the stock lock screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no clue:
I actually have a similar question.

I know there are many software to replace the default screenlock, such as lockbot or widgetlocker...

But, I just like to know where or if possible to change "sweep glass to unlock" to something else?

No no.... I still want the original lockscreen, just want to change the text.

thanks,

Hi, I just rooted my droid and flashed Cyanogenmod 6 RC2 and when I search for Skype mobile in the market, I can't find it. I also tried downloading through the Skype site from the browser and still can't download it. If anyone has the apk can you pm it or upload it? Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] [ L ]:
If you cannot find said app, then after you download the app from the site, you should download AndroZip or Astrology File Manager, go into the folder marked "download" and look at the file named Skype. If it is a .zip file, unzip it, and then install the Skype apk. If its just an .apk then select install to use it.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] forbearingmammal:
By all appearances the Skype Mobile app was pulled from the market. You have to find the .apk and install it manually.

I've tested it and it works, and Verizon's website clearly indicated when I looked that the calls were still free from your phone to a Skype contact, but international calls were through Skype credit and national calls were done through your plan's minutes.

In CyanogenMod you can disable the notification. You just click on the debugging icon and select the "be notified" option.

Been trying to get the qik app working on my Desire but i keep rebooting. I have taken alook at the 4g section in the forums and followed their tips but still no good.

hey do you all know top right normally show 3g right? But when it shows a big "E" or big "G", what's the Meaning of that??

I have tried to disable data connection for auto connect, so sometimes i see this 2 big letters appear. Can anyone explain to me pls?

Is it still connected? Really thanks for your advise. :)
[HD2 General] random_username_:
it is still connected however it is on a 2g (slower) connection
[HD2 General] whizzkid_cool:
oh man.... last month it cost me a bomb with auto internet connection! Then i install BSB Tweaks to disable it. If as you said, "E" or "G" is still connected, do you have any idea how to manually turn off the auto connect function?

Please kindly advise. Appreciate your time...
[HD2 General] DN41:
G is afaik for GSM..the standard connection, but the slowest.

E is for EDGE...its a faster gsm afaik.

3G stands for UMTS and

H is for HSDPA...the fastest available speed for the HD2.

use google or wikipedia for further information.

DN41

edit: its only connected, when the little letter is over the little signal strength.

if there's only the big letter, your phone isnt running a data connection.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Do a search on here for 'nodata'. It totally stopped Internet connection for me, except when I wanted it.
[HD2 General] DN41:
or go to settings/connections/connections "programs automatically connects with"...set "firma", because that means w-lan (sorry, thats german :P ) and not your internet, i.e. "E-Plus Internet"

DN41
[HD2 General] whizzkid_cool:
Are you saying that if there is only the big letter, even the data connection is up, but i wont get to pay any internet charges since there is nothing to connect?

If use nodata.cab, does it mean i also cannot connect to WIFI? or just cut off the data connection only?

I think this problems is frustrating all the HTC HD2 newbies out there~~ :P
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Nodata only effects telephone data connections, it does not effect WiFi, Bluetooth or GPS.

If you see JUST the big letter G, 3G, E or H then it means that service is available but not being used. If you see the big letter AND the same letter, only smaller, in the telephone signal strength icon, then you are connected to your telephone operator's data and you will be charged (unless you have a data plan).
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Just for clarity, G is for GPRS (The slowest data), not GSM

Most data plans bill you by ammount of data transferred, not time connected, so just being connected isn't in itself gonna cost you. There are plans that bill by the minute, but not many.

Also, as fred said above, in your bar along teh top there are two icons, a large one to the left, which shows G E H, whatever, this one is only showing you what connection is on offer from your network, not what you are connected to. To the right of that is your signal icon, and that too shows G E H etc. It is the one on the right that shows how you are actualy connected.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
you want an explanation of all the top-bar connection related icons? see my reply in this thread (its the first post after the OP):

Not quite waterproof - BUT.......

I got caught in a storm last night on my motor bike - big rain on ma heed.

I was soaked, phone was in tank bag with GPS and headphones plugged in under crash helmet.

Phone was swimming in water, so I took it out attepted to wipe some off with my soaking hands. Didnt really work.

I then had to rescue my mate who crashed his bike, still raining hard, so still with GPS running and radio going, picked up his bike and drove it home for him. Phone working fine.

Went home, looked dry - ok.

Took SD card out this morning and !!the battery was still swimming!!!!! Phone had been on all night and all morning.

I was charging it via USB - I feel very lucky really.

Looking at the battery compartment, the phone seems to have been made very very well. No holes or gaps. All space used and edges sealed.

Yeah, we get some lag - yeah the fonts dont look great when zoomed all the way out - but this is the best device I have ever owned in my life. I am a good judge, I have owned LOTS of devices.

Galaxy S FTW :)

I remember when this happened to my XDA 2 - yeah the big old thing on PPC2002 or maybe 2003 - lol like all these devices lost all data if you turned it off!!! - NO INTERNAL FLASH!!!!!!!!!!

- Well I had the same thing with that - ended up with No buttons working and water all the way through it - had to scrape of all the white residue (LOL - not mine) from the control boards that had built up due to a lil water to get it working again.

We have a lot to look forward to with this device -

I am recommending it to everyone who asks - allow IOS and locking phone to 1 PC with itunes - what a crock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcharng:
I don't think it is water proof. And from the sound of it the water did made it inside the battery compartment and beyond.

Strange things with water and electronics is that, if the water are clean and you can run hot air through it to dry it thoroughly. It will continue to work. However if some part of it is still wet rust might form and other symptoms might show days later. So keep a close eyes on your information.

If it were salt waters, you are surely to be immediately screwed!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phk:

One thing to be aware of, is if you look in your headphone port, it will now be red (I believe the SGS has a water sensor).

they do work, i use it often when i go to the pool, just don't go diving with that in your arm, the sheer force will snap the armband off, no surfing either, just regular swimming is okay.

i stick in my passport and IDs as well when i go to touristic beaches as well, good place to put in some cash, all in 1 pocket

Not sure about waterproofing, but my SGS survived a 3m drop onto rocks and into river. I recovered it a couple of minutes later, removed all parts (back cover, battery, sim card) wiped it with a clean tissue and waited for the water to dry out.

After a while i inserted the battery to test it and got a bootloop at the logo screen (water in the on-off button probably). At home I placed it onto a radiator with medium heat, about 40 dgr and let it over the night.

The morning after... surprise... it works perfectly!!

Probably the water will corrode something over time, that remains to be seen.

I am indeed happy about this phone!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoN_HD2:
Hi all,

As the title says, I can't get Sense to load. Any help/advice, preferably me not having to HR, would be much appreciated.

Here's a bit of background info: Yesterday afternoon I noticed my phone was running very low on battery power, I think it was down to 3%, fortunately I was at home so it wasn't a problem.

I plugged the phone into the wall charger and left it. About 4 hours later I went to unplug the phone expecting to find a fully charged up battery. However, the phone was turned off, I very rarely turn my phone off. Puzzlement followed for a second or two until I realised I hadn't switched the plug switch on. What a dummy!!!

Therefore, the phone had powered down through having no battery power. Sense has not loaded since. Would this cause Sense not to load??

I've had a prior problem with Sense not loading and I did a Hard Reset, I couldn't see what else I could do.

But I'm hoping someone quite a lot more knowledgeable than myself maybe knows a way round this without resorting to a HR.

Thanks for any help.

If you still have the origional ROM running i would say bring it back to the shop from which you got it from and let them repair it

Otherwise i would say try to install HSPL and push another ROM to your phone so that will repair the fault. Installing ROMS wont take to long
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoN_HD2:
Thx for the reply.

Yes I'm still running original ROM although I updated the original 1.43 ROM to 1.72 via the HTC website. I don't yet feel brave enough to flash a custom ROM. Although this might be the right time to do it now. However, if there is anyone who may know a workaround for this without having to flash a custom ROM or hard reset, I would be very grateful.

Thx.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoN_HD2:
No GTX theme on my phone and the phone didn't actually freeze. As mentioned in my original post, the problem has come about. I think, due to the phone powering off through lack of battery power. This was due to me not switching the plug switch on after having put the phone on charge.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HotShotAzn:
you have to understand how this whole process works...

Android is installed on the SD card, not phone memory. We're good on this point, right? But Android needs something to reference as "phone memory", even though its installed on the SD card. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the data.img file, right?

This file lives on the SD card. When you install an app, it lives in data.img (what Android thinks is phone memory). So yes, apps live on the SD card, just not in the way you are thinking.

I think I am right, but correct me if I'm not.

Have a look at chainfires ADB Magic (http://www.xda-developers.com/android/chainfires-adb-magic/), it has a build-in packet install functions where you can define to install on sdcard.

Maybe this way is working for you. And you will get a really usefull tool as side-effect.

All you need is adb from Android SDK.

Sorry to start a thread on an old topic.

any solutions?
[Desire General] tommo123:
did you have apps2sd installed? if so, i think that's why
[Desire General] talhamid:
YEs, indeed I have Apps2SD+Root+custom ROM. Any solutions? The worrying thing is that the phone won't boot even without a card, let alone the new one.

I read somewhere that uninstalling all apps will solve the problem. Is that true?
[Desire General] tommo123:
well, all your apps that the phone thinks is on the internal memory is on the card.

now, last i heard, the phone will still boot if you wait long enough. start from scratch?

either that, or copy your old sd card to your new one (clone the whole thing, inc the ext3 partition)
[Desire General] talhamid:
Thanks, I tried cloning the card. It didn't work. How does one clone the EXT partition? Also, when you say 'it will start up eventually', how long is it supposed to take. I waited for 20 Minutes before giving up.
[Desire General] JohnSteveDoe:
I'm also interested in how I could clone the EXT3 partition. Waiting long enough doesn't work for me, as it goes into a constant boot screen loop.
