[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokedkill:
well I never used apps2sd when I used 2.1 roms. I went from Ivan's 1.0 I think it was to KaosFroyo and when I did, it wouldn't recognize my SD card. I'm not sure if when I go back if it will recognize the card, or if I will need to format it again.

the reason I put it in this section and not the q&a since it involves custom roms and I figured that the q&a would be for more basic questions that people who do not root their phone would use compared to the rooting crowd.

I would like to say I am very lucky to be able to root, since my original Eris got stolen out of my locker at work when they broke the lock off my locker. My replacement had a version of the bootloader(1.49 or something like that) which wasn't supposed to be rootable. I used that method where you can root without a computer to get the job done. I'm still upset that the insurance company didn't send me the SD card with my replacement(had to go purchase another one) and sent me the wrong case(would be fine if I wanted my Eris to hang from my belt, but I had a silicon gel and I can barely get the phone out of the replacement case to use.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokedkill:
Thanks for this answer. Even more thanks for not trying to belittle me in the process. When I went from ivans 1.0 to kayosfroyo 29, i had to format my sd card. because of that I assumed that I would have to reformat when I went back to Ivan's. I assumed wrong because when I went back to Ivan's, I did not need to format.

I think the solution to my problem is to use KaosFroyo for regular use, then when I have to access my college material, do a nandroid restore back to Ivan's since it has flash light.

I just noticed that my phone would not go back to sleep after a missed call, and wanted to know if anyone else was having the same issue?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
Have to enable puzzle lock or whatever its called in settings
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huasamaya:
i have the puzzle option disable but still not going to sleepp. any other advice?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joonsim:
I think it's because some apps are running in the background. Please download one of the task manager app from the market and try clean the app you don't need. Then it will go back to sleep.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huasamaya:
thanks working now. i disable notificaion from the stock message, chompsms, them disable puzle them turn everything back on, but no the stock message notificacion. now my phone goes to sleep after a missed call.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott2121210:
Hi. I have been having the same problem where my Xperia X10i does not sleep (screen stays on) following a missed call. I have tried the suggestions in this thread so far but no luck. It places a significant drain on my battery should I not observe the missed call soon after. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Scott
[HD2 General] Daveon93:
I use ChunkyDroidRom for my WM rom,

and It seems like every rom I put on my Phone always does the sleep of death, causing me to pull my battery or soft reset.

Are there any WM roms that would damn near of get rid of this problem or is there a certain radio or spl i need or something, this is so annoying.

I had the ShubCraft rom, Matty's Sense rom, and all of them from the Gamesquare.co.uk place. and they are all 2.2 Froyo.
[HD2 General] juggs:
Have you tried reformatting your SD card? In the very least, delete folders that you didn't create. Such as Program Files and Application Data.

im also experiencing the same with my phone... i flashed my rom to kumar premium and from time to time my screen goes blank. the only way i can get my phone up and running is to do a soft reset. plz help:confused:

Try different radio...

That did solved my problem from SOD

sent from RM_HD2
[HD2 General] Scabes24:
+1 switched back to 2.10.50.26 and sod is now almost non-existant :)
[HD2 General] shadowhacker27:
You need to do a little more research. I have two threads talking about how Radio affects Android builds. Radio 2.10.50.26 gives the SOD in most phones. and it also tends to lose signal. 2.12 the same, with overheating and excessive discharging. 2.11.50.20 is the best Radio of all. it took me about 2 month to get those findings. Hope I helped you and others ^_^
[HD2 General] beeweezy:
rom

which rom did you flash to.... i need something stable and reliable also some eye candy :D
[HD2 General] PhoneConnect247:
Use ChuckyRom and radio 2.12 and have not had a SOD
[HD2 General] wagnon22s:
I was told that you need to upgrade your sd card from a class 2 to a class 6 n that should fix it, that true?? im experincing the same SOD almost everytime it goes to sleep, im running the energy rom with mdeejay evo sense v1.7 rEVOlution
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
The SOD is caused by the Android kernel, not your SD card size or class.
[HD2 General] csevigny:
I had the sod issue with new baritone froyo build. I found not using live wallpaper and not leaving wifi on when idle avoided it...been running Android without hard reset now for over a week.

ok i know this might sound stupid but i do not know what to do next

so i have rooted my evo froyo 2.2 with the steps to downgrade it and then use simple root to fully root it.

what should i do next be for i install a rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregnice631:
if you already have a custom recovery image installed, browse the android development forum and choose a custom rom that suits your needs. thats basically all thats really left to do. there is plenty of help in that section that can get you going very quickly. rule of thumb. make sure to do a nandroid backup before tinkering with images.

what is a "custom recovery image installed" and how do i get it and what should i get?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Better advice - read through the wiki and make sure you understand all of the concepts and terms involved with rooting before you take another step. Once you start playing around with some of this, its very easy to brick your phone accidentally. Once you've read through the wiki and helpful links stickies, and you're confident you know what everything is and does, move on to the next step.

i have read around but i want to make sure i am doing it right

[Hero, G2 Touch General] tigerinho:
Hi all,

Wonder if you can help me as I'm beginning to lose it with this phone..

I've not had a decent connection since I bought the phone back in september. Basically a 3G signal means no connection. Nothing happens, no data. When its on the 'H' sign it works really well but it stays on H for like 10 seconds before switching back to 3G.

I've googled this problem and it seems I'm not the only one with this issue. I've changed the network settings, and even tried various radios to no avail. I have good 3G coverage in my area so there shouldn't be a problem at all. Even in central london it doesn't work. It's too unstable and virtually unusable..

Can anyone suggest any other possible solutions to this please?

Thanks :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Talk to lennyuk about this :)

He got on well against orange and can tell you the story of what's wrong
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alexluckett:
I had this problem before! Orange just sent me a new SIM and it was all sorted :)!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tigerinho:
Thanks chaps,

I've just PM'd Lenny!

alex: I'll ring them up and ask them to send me a new one if it still doesn't work. I'm sooo not looking forward to explaining to them what the issue is...haha :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Ah, I had this problem, and it left me 4 months without data thanks to oranges stupidity.

Anyway a short term fix will be to dial *#*#4636#*#* and go phone options, then change your network in the drop down box to 2g only (or similar can't remember the phrase it uses)

2g still works all the time.

As for the long fix, you will need to speak to orange and demand to speak to "high tech" support they can fix it (well they did for me eventually). The problem they said was that my phone was connecting to both an old tower and a new "super tower" they orange UK are installing across the country, this confused the phone and messed up its data connection when on 3g, as it was trying to pull data from 2 towers at one time.

Orange eventually forced me onto one tower (or so they told me) and for a large part the problem was solved from there on in.

You do have to remember as well though the Hero has some 3g compatibility issues with Orange's existing network (again stupid orange), this is something that can never really be fixed.

Orange support can be very helpful if you speak to the right people, don't be afraid to tell them to put you through higher up straight away.

Hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tigerinho:
Thank you very much for the informative reply Lenny :)

I'll keep you all updated.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tigerinho:
Just a quick update..

I had 2 weeks of stable connection up until a few days back! It had been fine ever since Orange fixed the 3g/gprs problem after it went down for everyone. Probably due to the low traffic? (see below)

So I phoned Orange yesterday and explained my problem and asked to be put through to the 'high tech' department. However, after a while being on hold, the 1st line support advisor said she'll call me back asap as the techies were busy. She called back about 20min later, just as I popped downstairs for 30 seconds! Anyway, she left a message explaining the problem. Turns out that my area has 2 masts both of which are running at full capacity, and there's not enough bandwidth for everyone, hence why my connection has been unstable. She also said that they're going to be upgrading the capacity on the 18th which should fix it.

Another thing she mentioned was that, next month when orange and tmobile merge there's going to be more masts for our phones to connect to - more coverage and bandwidth. You can sign-up to trial this on the orange website.

Hi everybody,

Something weird is happening to my phone, since last week, the clock goes backwards by 40 minutes.

e.g.

its 8:50am and 60 minutes later, it shows 9:10 ????

This happens with all the World Clocks, I have no idea or a reason for this to start happening on my phone.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
I have been looking all over the place for these edits. I am about ready to pull my hair out. If anybody here could help that would be awesome.

I have not been able to find this last thing.

The border around a widget when it is being moved

Edit: These have been found

Calendar long press on a day. (The white fill color)

Same as calendar but in gmail

The title bar color

Notifications text color. The bottom is white now and once you click on them they stay white, but I can not figure out how to get the initial text to white.

Any help on any of these issues would be super appreciated. Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
You may already know this much but I think all but the icon border are xml edits..

Sorry I cant be more help, I promise I'll learn more about xml sooner than later :o
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Man I figured they where all xml edits. The icon border seems like a pic because of the rounded edges, and I would assume it is either in Rosie.apk or com.htc.resources since it is a sense thing. Just can't find it. I guess I'll go through them again and see what I find.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Found one of them. I case anybody was wondering it is in framework-res\values-hdpi\styles.xml

<style name="Widget.ListView.White" parent="@style/Widget.AbsListView">

<item name="background">@color/White</item>

<item name="listSelector">@drawable/list_selector_background</item>

<item name="cacheColorHint">?colorBackgroundCacheHint</item>

<item name="divider">@drawable/divider_horizontal_bright_opaque</item>

</style>
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Awesome! That looks great!

Mind sharing what you changed the value to from White?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
I changed it to transparent, because it is already showing popup_bottom_bright and popup_center_bright. Now those images can be seen and are not covered by the white overlay.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Brilliant, Thanks :D

*edit- so did you just change the word "White" to "Transparent"?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Yep there is a Transparent tag in colors.xml
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
While we're on the subject of hard to find things, does anyone know what controls the background of the rounded lists like the ones in the people/contact, mail, and messaging apps? From what I've found out it works something like this:

The top and bottom of the lists are rounded off by three round, part transparent, "masking" graphics (one for the top, one for the bottom, and sometimes, one that does both). Those graphics lay on top of the list. There's also one other 1x1 px COMPLETELY transparent graphic that is spread all over the middle of the list. If you edit that file to a opaque color, it'll make all text in the middle of the list non-visible. So it's a graphic that sits on top of the text, not underneath it. The thing that is killing me is that there is white underneath all of it. Where is THAT coming from? What makes the list white?! I looked EVERYWHERE (graphics + xml).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Do you have a screenshot. I think I know what your talking about, I am pretty sure it is an xml edit, If it is what I am thinking of I changed it once looking for other stuff.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rujelus22:
Two more down.

This one was an xml edit inside of apps organizer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Could you please post where you're finding the edits at as you find them?

That's not really a resolution, especially when there are hundreds of pictures.

Playing around with this more, I connected the phone to my laptop, re-arranged the pictures, deleted some old folders. Then, I went back to the gallery on the phone, and it still showed the old folders. It must be caching something, but the app. has no settings really.

I am facing the same problem in Samsung Galaxy s GT i9000.

Its really annoying.

I can't even delete the duplicate or blank pics.

When I try to delete even 1 pic it shows deleting with busy status and doesn't come out of it.

I didn't have this problem before the froyo update(official release). Just adding this so that it may give a clue.

Eagerly waiting for a solution for this problem.

Following from your other thread, I've updated my Java and can still use ADB, so not sure if it is a version issue or why it no longer works for you. In regards to this thread, I've done similar before and had to reflash in the end.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xGary:
Well that sucks... Cause my Java isnt working so I cant use the reg flash method which requires java for the deviceid part... Which of the new root or flash methods work without Java?

Regarding the Java issue, its because I installed the v21 Java. You probably installed the v20 Java and then upgraded. Ill try the Java again...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
The "One Click" method, which is what I used last.

I did yes, but again, don't see how it could be a version issue. :confused:

Thats what the guide creator said. However, I am looking into it. Doesn`t seem to have a different path tho

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xGary:
Thats exactly where my files are located too... It seems that the JRE installer on the website is still in v20 but once I install the JDK which is in v21 it updates the JRE as well...

Update

I was able to disable the JDK from updating the JRE to v21 as well but it still doesn't work. You do have Java in your taskbar or in your process list right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Not quite sure what to suggest from here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poosty:
I have both a corporate email and private email account setup on my Galaxy.

The corporate is an auto-sync through exchange and syncs my contacts and calendar as well

The private is a pop3 account which is set to sync every 15mins.

After 12 hrs or so the private email invariably goes to sleep and doesn't receive any new messages. Sometimes a manual 'refresh' wakes it up, but most of the time I need to re-boot the phone to get it receiving email again.

The corporate exchange account seems more robust, but has also gone to sleep on a couple of occasions

Ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostAlone:
I've seen similar things with my AOL accounts (don't laugh :p my parents have been using them for like 13 years and I'm not chaning my email after all that time). They seem to have a mind of their own as far as updating themselves goes. Sometimes, its fine, sometimes they just don't bother. Sometimes one of my accounts runs just fine for days, and then I discover that a different one hasn't been syncing at all and theres a bundle of really pissed people wanting to know why the hell they haven't received something.

I have tried using K-9 mail (check the app store), and that works just fine. Does exactly what the native client should be doing.

However, I hate the K-9 icon, and so I refuse to use it until I can figure out how to change the icon without breaking the app. Tried a few times, but no luck *sigh*

Also, you'd think that a standard polling email app shouldn't have any problem just checking stuff.

You can also Google shadow.net and get the whole list of channels that are free and work with flash. I recommend that you download tv listings from the market and put in a east coast area code because almost all the American channels are on eastern time. I use 10001 and get the listings for time warner in southern Manhattan uncheck all then select the channels you want. this is the real deal HBO so you can watch boxing and NFL programs (documentaries).
