[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
probably have to do a battery pull at that point. If you are using a custom recovery, the OTA won't work. I just used the RUU to do it. Otherwise, you need to find the stock recovery image (not sure where its posted) to use the OTA. The RUU is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746705

To gain root after updating, you need to install a custom recovery. If you go to the Unrevoked Forever web page, they have some recoveries in PC36IMG.zip format. The Amon RA one didn't work for me, but ClockworkMod does flash fine. One you have the custom recovery, you need to download a rooted rom. Netarchy has a completely stock one posted around here somewhere. That's the one I used. You can also use any custom ROMs once you have the recovery. You're supposed to be able to use the fastboot method to install a custom recovery, but I didn't have success doing that (though I didn't really work with it for very long). Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
yeah i pulled the battery, and everything went back fine, so i guess at this point just get rid of that idea, and stick to custom rom then right.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
You can, or you can download the stock rooted 2.2. Or if you want to be thorough, you can run the 2.2 RUU, then install a custom recovery image, then flash the rooted 2.2 or custom 2.2 ROM. Probably recommend the 2.2 RUU as it will update your radios for you without you having to find and flash them individually. But that's just me.

Hi. Can anyone share how to increase the ringtone volume, preferrably thru' the RegEdit?

I realised that my ringtone got softer and weakter recently after downloading the Cookie's Home Tab and CHT 1.8.5., even though I have set the volume to maximum for both 'System' and 'Ring', and thru the 'Sounds & Display' menu.

Hope someone here can guide me to it. If not I will have to consider hard resetting the whole phone. Thanks.

Whenever I go to Manage Applications it tells me to sign in. And when I click sign in it shows an error "The application AppBrain App Market (process com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

Hi,

I'm facing the exact same problem on my Milestone. Really frustrating. Has anyone successfully dealt with this. Help us :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexherder:
Hoping you found a solution. I can't even get into the application.

Hi guys,

I know this is an older thread but it's literally the only thing that came up on Google when I searched the error that I'm getting on my phone:

"The application Appbrain App Market (process com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I get this error on startup of my phone and also when I try to open Appbrain. I also get a similar error for the Weather Channel application and Google Voice.

Potential solutions tried:

* For Appbrain there was a pending update for it in the Market which I installed. It did nothing.

* For the Weather Channel application I uninstalled and then reinstalled the application. This seemed to work.

I will proceed with reinstalling the other broken applications but I'd love it if you could explain to me why this happens. What could have brought this on?

Thank you!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korbi:
Hi!

I heard its possible with some rom to choose "reboot" when long pressing the off button?! (defrost or opendesire)

Now I was wondering if this mod is available for devices running other roms. I really miss this feature, since I use the original HTC Rom (with root) for the moment.

Could someone please tell me where to find this mod?

Cheers

Korbi
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danifamous:
I believe with HTC's griphold on their phones, it may not be possible at the moment.

I don't see why someone cannot add this feature, although it will be alot of work compared to the non-sense android Roms, which are more easier to modify.

Personally, I don't see a use for it, as i have a reboot to recovery in RomManager, or I could just press the Power button again =/

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korbi:
Thanks for the answers.

@Danifamous:

I dindt quite get, why it shouldnt be possible? Open Desire or Defrost are HTC based ROms, too...

@cyron_at:

thanks, but I think this tool only enables reboot via widget, doesnt it? Since the space in my homescreen is very limited, its not really an option for me...

I am still hoping to find a solution, so please keep on posting =)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeDroid:
LeeDrOiD 2.0+ has a reboot option ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korbi:

[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
Hello all

I have swype 1.6. I've had this version for a while now. I used to be on 2.2 OTA. Today, I downgraded, rooted, and installed CyanogedMod 6. I installed swype again, but this time, instead of a "Return" key in the bottom right of the keyboard, there is this useless smiley :cool:

a) I look in the settings; couldn't find anything

b) I'm confused as to why a smiley shows up now on CM, but wasn't there on 2.2 OTA :confused:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
For me, it shows up in Google Voice, but not the HTC text app, and I think it's shown up once or twice in other apps. If you hold it down, it'll bring up more :) :( ;), ect.

I kind of like it.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
It's there based on what the keyboard detects you're typing in. For example, if it thinks you're typing in an IM/Text/MMS, it'll put a smiley. If it's a search/URL/input bar, it'll be return, etc.
[EVO 4G General] ayman86:
sounds like you are using handcent

if so, follow this to undo it

in handcent, menu -> settings -> app settings -> action key type -> select enter instead of smile

hi guys i have fw 026 . arent we suppose to have the mic thing next to google search? i dont have it .can some1 tell me how to get it? and what it does?
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You want something and you don't even know what it does? Android fanboys never cease to amaze me.

The microphone enables Voice input. To get it, you have to download the Voice Support files from the Market.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
What is it called?
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
It's not in the market because Google Voice took its place, but if you don't live in the US, you can't use Google Voice.

Here's a link to download the app:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=c2bec0e7155dcbb5ab1eab3e9fa335ca9bf4984cd4e3a7d4
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
This might be a stupid question, but how do you install the apk? Windows thinks it is a folder rather than an app. Same thing when I copy it over to my x10 and use a file explorer
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You don't have any idea what you're talking about at all, do ya?

In the market, look for Text-to-Speech Extended Libraries, Or just go to the Libraries section of the Android Market under Apps
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
So there is no Google Voice app right? We need to look for other apps that use this library?
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I don't know much, but I'm just saying, I went through the exact same thing yesterday that the OP is going through...

Text-to-Speech Extended libraries (from what I understand) is for text-to-speech...NOT speech-to-text. To be able to click the little microphone on the HTC_IME keyboard or to have the little microphone in the Google Search Widget, you need to install the app that I posted a link to.

I might be wrong, but I'm just saying what worked for me...

Download only Voice Search.apk to your PC, then put it in some folder on your SD card...Then with any file manager, when you open that folder and click the file, it should start up the installer...

Or you could download it directly to your phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I opened up the folder on my sdcard with a file manager, but it thinks it is a folder, and infact I can actually go into it and look at its contents... theres a lib, res and META-INF folders, an xml file etc
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
Which app do you use? I'm gonna assume Astro, but it should be the same with any other...When you click it, a menu should pop up that says "Browse File" and "Open App Manager". Click "Open App Manager" and it'll install it. If it doesn't show up, try long pressing on the file, and it'll give you the option to install.
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
chris_knows thanks for the link I downloaded the apk & installed it & the mic icon on the HTC keyboard works. I downloaded the same apk from another link previously & I could never get the mic on the keyboard to work, I could only get the mic icon on the Google search widget to work.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Turns out it was a problem with the file hosting site. I downloaded it again and now it works fine :)

Thanks a lot!!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Voice Search is what you need. Not Google Voice. Google Voice is a voicemail system for telephone calls.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bigw@ve:
Nice, finally have Mic icon working in my htc_ime keyboard as well. This must be an older more compatible version of voice search.

Excellent!

When i click on a photo i have to zoom and then the quality will get better but when i zoom out it will get worse. Im not saying zoom in alot but just a little zoom and then the pic will look better. Whats wrong?
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
i was at a bar i didn't even want to be at in a small town in colorado.

at first i just stared at it for 10 seconds thinking "at this point i should just leave it there because the damage is done"

then all of a sudden it started goign crazy with lights and "samsung vibrant" flashing everywhere on the screen, so i decided to dive in and save it. then i violently washed it with hotwater under the sink and only after washing my hands did i finally open it and take out the battery (at this point, the screen shown brightly with "samsung vibrant).

3 hours later, hoping it had dried completely, i put the battery in and again it came to life with the samsung vibrant text. i quickly took the battery out.

i jsut tried it again and it wont turn on at all. is it over?
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
You shouldn't have done that, the phone was still wet. When you did that you fried your phone. If you would have put your phone in a bag of rice or let it dry out for a few days then it might have been ok. Hope you have insurance.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Yeah, I always heard that half the time, if you power it off and let it dry, and make sure it's dry before trying to power it on again, you can luck out.
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
omg omg omg!!

when you responded, my heart dropped and then i ran over to see if it would start again one more time (i plugged it into the charger) and i pressed the on button and it showed it was charging. i'm goign to leave it alone now in a bag of rice like you said. but i dont know if i can wait 3 days.... i never learn my lesson
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Hahaha I dropped a phone in the toilet once. Good luck
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
i know i'm getting ahead of myself, but just SAY that if i finally do get it to power on, but nothing shows up except a "samsung vibrant" screen, is there a way to reinstall the OS?
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
My son left his ipod nano in his pants pocket. It got washed. I dried it and did the rice thing for 2-3 days (can't remember how many). Charged it up. Just like new. :)

The moral of the story? If you can't wait 3 days to see if it has been salvaged, you don't deserve a new phone... ;)
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
ugh. fine. i'll wait. but i dont know what i'l do with myself in the meantime.
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Uh, dude, it would not be a software problem... If it doesn't boot up its a hardware problem.
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Just make sure its sitting nicely covered in the dry rice....wait...you did use dry rice right? Not cooked rice??? lol kidding...
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
if you read my question, i asked what i could do if it DID power up but only with a generic screen
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
I wouldn't even bother trying... It's fried man...
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
we'll see. the green charging light gives me hope. i will definitely not pay full price for a new one. this was $99 through costco-- which is what a phone should cost.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
Don't over cook the rice. Stir-fry it with some egg, carrots, scallions, peas, and barbecued pork. Everything should be okay.
[Vibrant General] fragimar:
This is why the data is so expensive in America. The companies need to get back the money they lost on the phone.

The phone might be fried since you didn't wait to turn it off. I've read the bag of rice will work. Next time wait until you phone is dry and just reroute you calls with Google Voice. I'd still try the rice too.
[Vibrant General] makamiso:
Did you say after you took it out the the toilet you then washed it under hot water? Seriously? You thought "oh, its wet, I shall now soak it some more?"
[Vibrant General] STi489:
Arghh..kill this nasty thread...lol
[Vibrant General] dq13:
To clarify a little... when you drop the phone in water, the FIRST thing you do is take out the battery and sim card. Then you let it dry COMPLETLY, this takes days, not hours. Like said above, rice does good, you put it in a zip lock, take out the air and seal it.. leave for AT LEAST 3 days so the rice can absorb the moisture, THEN you try to turn it on for the first time. If you try turning it on when there is moisture you will fry the phone, water conducts electricity and brings power where there is not supposed to be and burns circuits, so by putting the battery and attempt to turn it on prematurely, you are killing it causing short circuits internally.
[Vibrant General] denny_1986:
make sure you throw the rice away after you're done or better yet, feed it to some iphone fanboy ;)
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
+1 and ty , I just read through this post and wondered when someone would point out the OP already turned it on to "check" it after being in the water.

Time to order a replacement, even if it does for some magical reason power on that phone is going to be issue city.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
To the OP... most of the time, when the phone boots only to the first logo and doesn't go past that, it means the motherboard is fried. But even if you replace it, then you have a 50 50 chance that the digitizer works (touch screen) so you are better off getting it replaced by insurance
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
For anyone else reading this thread, I think that better than rice would be to buy some electronics desiccant. You can find this at any camera store. It's also the stuff in a lot of packages that says "Do Not Eat." Put it in a ziploc with your phone and wait a day or so. Should be completely dry.

Here is a link to what I mean: http://goo.gl/fsQJ
[Vibrant General] Freedomcaller:
i put an old nokia through a washing machine once, it wouldnt turn on for days. then i tried t again like a year later after i had completly forgotten about it, and it turned on and said please send to repair agent LOL.

on another note, your vibrant must be pretty new. squaretrade lets you take out an insurance policy up to 90days after purcase, and they do cover watter damage. that might be insurance fraud tho. so dont say i said to do it or anything....
[Vibrant General] phinphan:
Remove battery. Take back off, remove sd card and sim card. Put it in a bag of rice in a warm spot and wait 2 or 3 days. If it can be saved, that will do it.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:

[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
This is a funny thread...lol

The OP said he didnt learn his lesson when the first person said to let it dry a couple of days. What does the OP do? He runs to the phone and charges it up...WTF?

I think he is pulling our leg, especially the bit about if the phone doesnt bootup how can he reinstall the OS...as if thats the real problem....
[Vibrant General] camrs73:
I never, no matter what, even if it's ringing, take my phone out near the toilet. The one time I'd have my phone out, I'd end up dropping it into the toilet that just had a Taco Bell fueled hate crime committed against it.

Lol man the visual
[Vibrant General] kboater:
if you search my posts, you will find a thread with what to do if you drop your phone in water/toilet. I have not read past the first page of this thread, but #1 thing to immediately do is take battery out and DO NOT try to power on. put it in rice for 2-3 days and it should be good. but you cant take it out to try or you will fry the phone.

should have googled what you should have done, when you were waiting the 3 hours before you turned it on

edit:

just read the rest of this thread. those who said to put it in rice WITH OUT turning it on were spot on. I saved my completely submerged mytouch that way

[Vibrant General] raduque:
This not QUITE true. It's the minerals in water. I used to freak people out by submerging my old phone in a bucket of pure RO/DI zero minerals water and then using it immediately after while it was still dipping wet.

What you SHOULD do is rinse the phone in 90%+ rubbing alcohol - it will displace the water and minerals in the water and then evaporate cleanly. It helps if you can dis-assemble the phone as well to help the alcohol soak into all the same little crevices the water got into.

Trust me, this works. Of course, if you turned on the phone after the initial water exposure, you're probably boned.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
I dont think water can wipe out your OS. Since you power it already I don't think turn it back off and let it dry will help, damage is done the first time you turn it back on.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
Well you can make a call in water as long as its pure H2O.
[Vibrant General] smutek:
Put the phone in a bag filled with gasoline and fried chicken and bury it in your back yard over night.

This usually works.
[Vibrant General] raduque:
That's.... almost exactly what I just said. Pure filtered water with zero mineral count is harmless to electronics and will not conduct electricity. Dissolve some minerals in it (like normal city water) and it's deadly.
[Vibrant General] murse:
LOL!
[Vibrant General] maeglutz:
to anyone who cares... the phone loads the tmobile welcome message "stick together" and then turns off. i dont see how the motherboard can be fried if the electronics still work?? is ther a way to TRY to reload the os?

[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Ok. People have tried to be nice and funny with you. But here is the tough love - WHAT PART OF 3 DAYS IN A SEALED CONTAINER DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??? Sorry but if your dumbass keeps turning it on before it is possibly bone dry IT WILL NOT WORK!

So, do it again. Take it apart as much as you can. Put it in a completely sealable bag of rice FOR 72 HOURS. then take it out and put it back together and THEN plug it in and turn it on.

[Vibrant General] boystuff:
eh even if the phone dries and runs again consider craigs listing it and getting a new one, cause the sauder points and contacts internally on the board will erode/rust from what little moisture has been inside, or in your case alot of moisture. while that does take time i've seen electronics go within week's and sometimes months from that. and pulling these things apart cleaning contacts, resaudering, and reassembling just isn't worth it in the long run.
