[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Thanks was going to ask for it :) From what I see reinstalling your Launcher might help it. Or maybe you could try downloading another launcher from the Market. If that launcher also FCs then it's probalby the theme if not then reinstall your launcher.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Screatch:
Worked after full wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Oh well what are you gonna do :p Glad it worked :) Did you try the launcher thing and did it work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Screatch:
I assume no, i cant say for sure.

But when i tried, i had FC on launcherpro and the one that goes there by default, adw launcher

I added a version for CM6!

Has anyone tried this or is anyone going to try this on Elelinux 1.7? Please feedback if so :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] elelinux:
That's not a good idee,have change framework,settings new services.jar etc..
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Oh okay. I'm currently trying out the new Cronos FroYo ROM so I couldn't test it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mattnmd:
Hi, got 2 questions

Here is a screenshot of your theme, just wanting to ask if:

1) the black facebook widget is part of your theme an if it isn't , could you tell me how to get it like that?

2) the message of email widget on the bottom, what's that called?

thx in advance ;)

grtz, m@ttn
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Facebook is a part of my theme. If you wish to apply it on a ROM or another theme you can extract it and push it. The widget below is a messaging widget and you get it when you download Handcent SMS (which I HIGHLY reccomend if you don't have it installed already!) ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] f_padia:
is there gonna be a version for elelinux 1.7??
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] :
Yes sometime when I have time :) It's probably only framework-res that needs to be ported and I'm probably going to make it so that you'll have to change the colors in CM settings since I like the more black text (except in the date time etc. of course) so no need for services.jar :) Actually the version for CM6 might work :)

thx :D

Hi There... admire your work, but since I've switched back to FroydVillain from Cronos, is there any chance you'll be releasing this theme for FroydVillain 1.5?

Not a chance ever (sorry)...

Looking for a car dock/mount that also charges the phone. Something with an aux connection to allow for calls/music through the speakers would be nice too. There are so many options out there between the fly-by-night cell supply shops and the ebayers, I'm not sure where to look. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ThugEsquire:
I don't think one exists. Not like the Nexus One's, unfortunately.

This is what I was planning on buying for myself. First the mount 853209 for my car, and then 512147 for the device. Not cheap, but looks like the best solution. I don't think the 512147 device mount will fit around the case-mate case, though.

Hi guys,

So finally, the power button issue has got too bad and my N1 is going back for repair with HTC UK. The courier is picking it up tomorrow AM. Anyone know how long I'll have to wait before I get it back?

I'll be playing with my wifes N1 while its away, but its just not the same.

Thanks,

Scarygore.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakachu:
Hi,

Mine was confirmed received by HTC UK on Wednesday 25th last week. Its still with them, and all the online repair status says is:

"We have completed our diagnostic tests and have a quotation ready for your review."

And then when clicking on this:

"There are no active quotations for this ticket. If you have any questions please contact the customer support."

I phoned customer support on Friday but they were not able to tell me anything at all...

I'm hoping for an update tomorrow.

The repair is for the powerbutton also.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
When I sent mine in, it was collected on a Monday and back in my hand on the Friday. Can't fault them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogiedogie:
Was it yours or a replacemet though, cause thats different
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
It was my phone, repaired.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarygore:
Thanks for your replies.

The UPS guy picked it up an hour ago.

I going to miss it! :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakachu:
Scarygore,

Any news on your repair? HTC still has mine :-/

Cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarygore:
No news so far, the online tracker says they have recived it but thats all. Anyone know how to get Froyo to run on a Samsung Tocco?

The waiting sucks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonp1980:
Bakachu did you get yours back, did you have to pay? I got exactly the same message on mine, dont know if I want to phone as have unlocked bootloader. They should repair FOC though as a hardware fault. If not I will complain to my CC company and get them to refund me the phone. This is my second repair as had a dust issue early on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonp1980:
I have just got off the phone with HTC UK.

They tell me that they put “quotation” on the tracker until they investigate why the fault has occurred. I should phone back in a few days after the engineer has investigated.

So fairly confident this should be repaired under warranty as the phone looks brand new.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakachu:
Mines still going under repair.

Numerous calls to HTC end up with a 'repairs take 14 working days' standard line.

However, the status on the web page has changed from 'quotation ready' to 'we are repairing your phone'

Mine was unlocked too, even with a couple of scratches, but there's no way I would accept responsibility for this design flaw. From what I understand, HTC is quite good at fixing obvious hardware issues under warranty on unlocked phones. Even this showed up in a blog a couple of days ago:

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/09/08/manage-nexus-broken-power-button/

All this waiting is making me eye up the G2 some more.... mmmm!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarygore:
Acording to UPS mine arrived at 10am Wednesday. The status changed a week ago on HTC's site to 'we have recived your phone at HTC service centre'. Two days after it actually got there. Since then, nothing.

I would have thought that as it's a known issue they could just send out a refurb. I know in the US they will do that.

I'm not impressed with the service so far, it wasn't cheap in the first place and I'm left using a two year old Samsung piece of (insert explitive here).

It's not even rooted, totaly stock with a factory reset before i parcelled it up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonp1980:
Well I phoned up to chase.

They have had the phone at their site for 4 working days, and I am told to expect to have it in a further 8 working days. Will mean 3 weeks without my exspensive phone.

They also stated that my phone was listed as out of warranty but asked me if that was the case, I told them definitely not. They said the engineer will begin work once he has proof of purchase, I asked what I am required to do they said just wait till I get it back.

They also told me their computer systems are currently not working properly so the online tracking may be wrong. So its just a long wait until I get the phone back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakachu:
I have my phone back in my hands now!

It's been rewiped and bootloader has been relocked.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarygore:
bakachu,

Glad to hear you've got it back. If mine takes as long as yours I'll recive it in about a week.

Did they have to replace the screen? I heard of on instance were they did change the screen when it was sent in for the power button fault.

If mine comes back with an S-LCD screen I'll go mental.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakachu:
Screen + everything else exactly the same :) Even still has my screen protector in perfect condition on it!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ph0id:
How can you check?

Mine was collected last Tuesday for a cracked screen repair.

Was delivered to them by UPS on Wednesday and all the online tracker says is received.

I've tried calling a few times and they've said that there is a bit of a back log of repairs at the moment.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarygore:
I believe it's obvious if you turn it on in the dark next to a standard screen. A lot of light leaks around the sides.

I'll just compare it to my wife's when I get it back.

Hope the repair times speed up for you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ph0id:
So when I get my quote for the repair should I enquire if it will be S-LCD?

My other option if it is is to get it back, send it to my mobile phone insurer and get it repaired/replace/cash through them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarygore:
Maybe you should try Youtube for comparison video's and see how much it would bother you.

A user named 'Rusty!' posted a link to one somewhere on here. I can't look for it at the moment, I'm still at work and Youtube is barred.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epicfailguy2:
Hello, I was wondering if any of you know if using a phantom skinz (or any other protection that doesn't absorb shocks) is enough to prevent free fall damage (at pocket height). Is the screen of a naked SGS resistant enough to not shatter after a few fall (unlike the iphone 4) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dakine:
The SGS screen just like the iphone4 is made from glass think about that for a second :)

Now the sgs does have one advantage and that is that the glass doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the phone so you are less likely to crack it if it falls on it's edge.

My advice: get a rubber case.

I don't want to believe that there is no application to rescale videos. I need it for attaching videos to emails/mms.

Is there really no application ?

[Android Apps and Games] kusumalaga:
Search for Vidcon on play store. It's the best so far. It can resize your video to mms size in .3gp format. The paid version has ability to manually pick your output video size and format.

Question:

I have an HTC Desire with cell service/data... I'm buying a cheep Eken M001 Android tablet off eBay.

What is the best way my wife can use it to send me messages?

So she will have WiFi on the tablet... I don't think email will be very instant, looking for more of a text feature but of course the M001 doesn't have cell service and no would I want it to do.

What would be the best program ? any suggestions? :confused:
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
You could use the google voice app on the M001. I've had pretty good luck with that approach and texts are nearly instantaneous.
[Android Software Development] esmith:
Hi,

Actually I'm in Canada and Google Voice isn't completely official here yet so I can't log into it.

I do have an app Google Talk on the Desire... maybe that will do the same?

The eken tablet probably doesn't come with it but there must be a way to get it on....

Any other ideas?
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Unfortunately, Google voice is the only free one I know of. There are several pay services for sending SMS over the internet and there very well may be free ones, but I don't know of any. Other than that. there's probably dozens of IM solutions that would server a similar purpose; or you could write your own if it's just the two of you. TCP/IP chat programs are probably one of the most common networking app examples on the net.
[Android Software Development] esmith:
I'm not smart enough to write my own.

Is there a paid one anyone would recommend ? I wouldn't mind paying for something once... I don't want to pay per use but once would be fine.

Basically she has a pay as you go phone JUST so she can text me... it's only $20 a month but since she is only texting me it's kind of a waste of money when there should be something we can do over WiFi.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
The only IM I've ever used it the one included with skype. Skype is only available natively for verizon phones if I'm not mistaken, but there are a few APKs floating around this forum (like here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652248 ) that work at least with the IM part. I believe AIM and Win Messenger both have ports for the android too.

I'm doing the firmware upgrade using Kies off Windows 7 32bit to my Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i90000. The unit is stock, right out of the box.

It says "Upgrade in progress" and "The upgrade has started". The progress bar is around 15 to 20% and has not progressed during the last 25 minutes. TheGalaxy displays a uniform purple screen.

This is a Bell unit and it does have the now infamous no recovery/download mode keys problem (I checked before starting). So that wont be an option if I kill it.

Is this supposed to take so long or am I screwed?

I'm a new user, so I'm not allowed to post an outside link to this screen shot:

www dot davidkennedy dot com/Photos/UpgradeInProgress.png
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
ouch!....

Why the heck did you go ahead and flashed your phone, knowing the 3 buttons area dead?

the upgrade does not take more than 5 minutes

the whole process takes about 5 min

it's been over 25 min, and download bar is not complete, chances are your phone will be bricked after you unplug it.

call Samsung/Bell

tell them exactly that

the phone is stuck downloading the new firmware via KIES

they will most likely replace the phone for you
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidke:
After 1h I killed it (on the windows side).

Phone was still purple screen so I pressed power. Came back with screen of death (the "phone ... exclamation ... pc" image).

I figured that was the end of that phone but...

I restarted Kies and reclicked upgrade firmware. Then I read some interresting stuff I had never seen in the discussions. Kies said the previous upgrade had failed. It told me to to into recovery mode so that I could re-up the firware. Instructions were given to enter recovery so that it could begin.

Strangely, the instructions indicated pressing Home and Volume Down then press and hold power. I figure this text is just wrong, as either they mean to go into Download mode or they should be telling me to press volume up.

Anyhow, I did what they said, and as usual it didnt work. So I removed the batttery and tried again. Failed. Removed the battery again and tried again. Failed. One last time... AND IT WORKED!!!!! Apparently if you just try over and over it will eventually go into recovery/download. I got the download logo and started the Firmware restore.

Guest what... It's stuck at around 5% and it's been 15 minutes again !!!!

I'm about to brick this phone myself; with a real brick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
hey glad to hear you can get into the Download Mode

consider trying the upgrade on another machine

seems like the USB port on that PC is not very stable

if all else fails you can also try Odin3 to flash JH2
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrin:
davidke - did you keep the USB cable plugged into the computer and phone while doing the "remove battery, put battery back, 3 button combination" ?

I have the same problem with my SGS: the dreaded phone-!-computer image, 3 button combination not working and when plugged in Windows doesn't see it at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
this screen?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrin:
Yes, this screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidke:
neutrin,

Yes, I kept the usb cable plugged in.

I believe this is a clue to the underlying reason for the 3 button combo failure.

It did not work before the attempted upgrade. But after the failed upgrade there is no firmware in the device... so the the combo works.

In my case the combo always works now, first try. I dont know why I had to do several times before getting it once.

In my case the phone is bricked. I cant get anything to connect to it properly. Tried Kies, ADB and Odin. My PC sees it on the USB and the device says "Downloading" with the yellow android doing street work, but that's it.

Anybody have any suggestions? I'm gonna take it back to the store in a bit. I've had it with (no-so-)smart phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
don't you have another PC you can try it on?

either Kies or Odin should be able to flash you to JH2 or whatever version you choose
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidke:
You talked me into it... one last hope for this phone.

Downloading everything to my laptop and will try Kies, ODIN and adb.

Will report back later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidke:
It worked.

I was bricked and you saved me. Thanks.

Kies: No go. Odin: Worked.

Reloaded UGJH2 and phone is back to normal. Reinstalling my apps...

I'll post another thread explaining how I accidentally got into Download Mode on a phone with the 3 button combo disabled. Might be interresting for others.

No success with this method. Not even after the phone got pretty warm (1 hour connected to USB). I held the buttons pressed for 5-10 minutes in a row, several times. It seems the SFR branded phones are really crippled.

I just can't imagine why would SFR and perhaps other operators want this function disabled just for some of the SGS they sell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i'm pretty sure it has to do with the network operators requesting the feature to be removed, to prevent the phone from being unlocked
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrin:
That didn't prevent the unlock on mine. There must be another reason. Perhaps prevent debranding?
