(sorry can't post links yet)

I showed how i fixed it when my phone wouldn't activate at all. I don't know if it is a similar problem but it sounds like it. None of the nam or sid areas apply just the last bit about m.ip profiles and maybe an area under security that i didn't have to change. When i fixed it.

i'm wondering if there is a way to do away with the slider bar in the default wm6.5 home screen. in the pic below (i'm a new user so just copy/paste without spaces, lol.) i just slid the bar all the way to the top to take a screenshot, and i wanna know if i can just remove it for a simple clean homescreen.

[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
Why not switch to "classic today" screen, then check out the themes forum for themes you can apply or search for specific plugins? Is it just that you want the titanium function but not the outline around the selected panels? I'm not sure how to do that, but it should be possible by editing the xml file.
[General Questions and Answers] krazibeast:
well, when i switch to the classic today screen, or just uncheck Windows Default, under Items, i lose the transparency of the toolbar and taskbar. i guess that if i cold just get rid of the big dark bar in the middle of my screen i would be satisfied. i would just like to be able to see my wallpapers. and yes, i want the titanium function but not the outline around the selected panels.
[General Questions and Answers] cbeck:
Ok, gotcha. I don't know off-hand how to do that, though It probably would be as simple as editing the file, or finding the .png that is of that image (in the windows directory) and replacing it with a panel that is completely transparent.

Maybe someone with some experience will come along that already knows how to do that.

To get you started, you may want to look at this theme, which has already made the panels transparent. if you like it, you can just use it. Otherwise, you could potentially compare the xml files, of find the transparent image that he is using in there and copy it over to your device. It's been a long time since i checked/looked, but the xml that controls the sliding panels today screen is usually something like home.xml or something.

[note: if your phone is not touchscreen, use/look at this thread instead]

If you start playing around, back everything up first! You may also want to browse the "post your screenshots thread" and see if you don't come across some other UI that you like better (or another theme w/o the panels). good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] Empel1960:
Yes, you can but you need to edit the bronzeres.dll check this thread to learn how to do it, backup first your original file.

Check these screens from my phone

Enrique
[General Questions and Answers] krazibeast:
thank you all. but i'm not as experienced with xml, and editing. but whenever i do i end up running into security issues when trying to copy the files back to my phone.

about this bronzeres.dll file.. where is it located, and what would i need to change to alter the transparency?
[General Questions and Answers] Empel1960:
The bronzeres.dll is on the windows directory, but modifying the dll is more complicated than editing xml or cpr files, in my previous post there is a link where you can learn how to unsigne, edit, resign the dll file.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Why do out phones have a pretty bad wallpaper system? I mean, one wallpaper can look great on the internet, or in the gallery, and is a posterized mess as a wallpaper. Happened ot me multiple times, with dark grey gradients.

Here's a wallpaper to try, look at the top and bottom.

From FrezoreR in the i9000 forums

Hmm, on further inspection, it's almost like it's increasing the image brightness, even though my screen is on pretty close to as low as it goes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ozy944:
I imagine it would have to do with the image being optimised for an lcd which suffers from low contrast/saturation and being used on an OLED screen which doesnt have the issues. The net result is the image looking like its been posterized/ over saturated.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Not sure what you mean. When viewed on the gallery on my captivate, and viewed on the LCD on my computer, it looks great. When I try and put it as my wallpaper, it looks like trash. Did you try?

Another theory, it looks heavily compressed as well, when I try and set is as my wallpaper.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xer09aradox:
I can attest to this matter. I too would like to know of a solution to this as I've avoided several wallpapers due to this problem.

I've attached two screenshots, one from the homescreen and the other from the gallery. The image posterization is quite apparent.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] snarkq:
That's the only reason I use "backgrounds" app: it applies sharp looking wallpapers. Any time I have to use the square/resizing tool the results are very compressed and poor. Shame because I wish I could use camera pictures as a wallpaper
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I was wondering the same thing...for example, the images that came with my phone are so razor sharp but others seem to always be a bit blurry or not as detailed.

Do we need to get a super high res image and let the phone downconvert or something?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] inku:
That happens when you try to use a wallpaper that doesn't have the correct res try a 960x800 or any other proportional resolution based on that and it will look good.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Thing is, I get this on 960*800 and proportional resolutions. Definitely seems to be an issue with the wallpaper app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] no driver:
Not sure if this is part of the problem, but what's the DPI on the images you're having trouble with? I read somewhere that 96 DPI would look good on our phones and haven't noticed any problems with applying wallpapers from images that I edited to 960x800 at 96 DPI.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
FYI, DPI means absolutely nothing in digital images. Only physical pictures, since there is no inherent physical size in a digital picture. In fact, the dpi of our phones screens is about 230. So I doubt it's it, but I'm not around where I can try.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Shouldn't be the problem. Digital images don't actual have a dpi. Only physical ones do. And anyway, our screen dpi is ~230.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] LGSilva:
Short answer: wallpaper app problem, use a 3rd party app.

Long answer:

This is a problem since the first android phone, the G1.

When you set the wallpaper using the default app it will compress it with jpeg and some default setting therefore loosing some quality.

Other thing I read somewhere that the Nexus one had a banding problem due to the screen itself... Read here (it's not long) http://gizmodo.com/5477320/the-nexus-ones-dirty-display-secret-updated
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
I can't find a decent app that lets you pick your own wallpaper from your own sources. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xer09aradox:
Best one I've used is Wallpaper Set and Save, although navigation isn't all that great. I tried it with the given example image and it looks as it should.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
That's perfect :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
On the G1 you could hold down the call+Menu+hangup and it would reboot.

Is there a hidden key combo for the Vibrant? Normally I either shutdown and then restart or I use Terminal and type "reboot"

Anyways if anybody knows please speak up. I reboot now and then tinkering.

[Streak 5 Accessories] joshgantt:
So anyone have any ideas about the Case-Mate case for the Streak labeled "Express Horizontal" ? I've been looking for the right case for awhile now, and am really hoping it's a leather wallet-style with kickstand, like Dell's but better/cheaper. I can't seem to find any information, and they don't have any comparatively named cases for other phones that I can see... just wondering if anyone else knew/cared.

The other, Barely There, is pretty easily guessed by Case-Mate's additional offerings and not as interesting.
[Streak 5 Accessories] yokuoh:
I looked at the Case Mate site and was really unimpressed with the operators attitudes towards prospective customers

They have a feature on the website whereby you can suggest a product idea, for example a "Dell Streak case"... If you look at some of the replies to people offering them ideas, the replies are pretty curt and impolite.

So, Otterbox got my money...

;)
[Streak 5 Accessories] outsidah:
I really like case-mate stuff, they have some products pending production for the Streak but no ETA yet unfortunately.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Well i have the Case-Mate Tough Case on my Galaxy S which is a two piece case and now i have the Otterbox Impact case on my Streak which is a one piece case and i much prefer the Otterbox case. I think its of better quality and the buttons are much easier to use then with the Case-Mate case plus of course I'm using the Otterbox case now as opposed to waiting for Case-Mate to even release theirs and the larger case for the Streak was cheaper then the Case-Mate case for the Galaxy S to.

Hi, just installed Sense 2.5 on my x2. Been wanting to install Cookie's home tab, and already have CHTEditor and the program.

I can't launch it because there isn't a "menu" button but instead has "phone" and "camera"

Is there a way I can change the "camera" to "menu" so I can use Cookie's home tab?

I have a very low to the ground car with low-profile tires.

I had my phone in my lap, and forgot it was there, got up and it just barely flopped to the ground. Flipped it over, the entire screen was shattered. It dropped maybe 12 inches from my pants to the ground.

Just a quick heads up for those who wear their phone in their crotch while they drive.

It will break from one time forgetting to take it out of your lap and into your pocket before you get out of the car. Take it from me.... FML..
[HD2 General] kangu:
Damn, that sucks bro! =[

I must be a lucky guy because I left my phone on my lap while I was driving my dad's truck (2002 Toyota Tundra), and then I forgot it was on my lap when I exited the vehicle. It landed face down, and not a scratch.

Another instance is when I was working out at the gym....again, I left my phone on my lap, and after completing my sets, I quickly stood up, and my phone hit the metal part of the equipment, and the battery door came off, and the battery flew out. Again, no scratch.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:

[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
most people break the screen when trying to replace it anyways. Probably better to replace both parts together.
[HD2 General] novaci:
It's all relative.

I've dropped my HD2 several times from various heights and so far the phone doesn't have a scratch on it. Once it skid down a couple of concrete stairs but miraculously survived without any damage. I guess I'm just lucky? :)
[HD2 General] badai:
i use otterbox defender. in a moving car about 40km/h with window open and holding it outside when suddenly i lost grip and it felt on the asphalt.

the first thing in my mind is about the screen.

no scratch.

Was the phone on vibrate?

Just joking. Thanks for the heads up
[HD2 General] Jbills09:
Hey thanks guys on that otterbox thing. I might have to try that if they do have such an easy propensity to breaking.

Crazy how mine shattered so easy, and some not so easy.
[HD2 General] kupz:
If its any consolation this happened to a friend of mine - i guess its just bad luck.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
people who mess with their phone whilst in charge of a vehicle deserve to crash and suffer terrible injury and / or a slow painful death, so im glad you broke your phone, just a shame you didnt cripple yourself into teh bargain. Whether making a call, or just holding it, you aren't in control of the vehicle, and deserve bad things to happen to you.

Just the opinion of someone who lost a relative to a driver who was 'just checking the time on my phone, officer'.

Glass screen can shatter? WHO WOULDA THUNK IT!?

I went through many of those drops with my Diamond. I put it on my crotch while talking on the headset, then got out of the car, unbeknownst that the phone is still on my crotch and BAMM! ate cement... Good thing the Diamond's screen was resistive heh. I take care of the HD2 like a baby now and always have it either on the passenger seat when i drive or put it in the phone holder.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
WHY???

+1 on what sam said too.......
[HD2 General] Jbills09:
For your opinionated and assumptive information, I wasn't driving and talking on the phone, nor was I texting either. I pulled a pack of GUM out of my pocket and the phone had to come out in the process, so before you go wishing I DIAF, maybe you shouldn't assume things that never happen when I drive. Sorry you lost a relative, but I'm not retarded.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yep, hand off the wheel rooting in a pocket, that would count as driving without due care and attention too, except of course it's unenforecable, cos drivers have a whole set of laws all to themselves. I swing an iron bar around and accidentally hit someone and kill them, its manslaughter, a driver picks his nose and slams a half ton of metal into someone and its an unfortunate accident.

Im sorry i unloaded on you specifically, it was aimed at all car drivers (especially the pillock with his phone in hand hanging out of the car, christ, moron).

Even the (comparitively speaking) safe drivers look around, eat food (and gum!), pick their nose, fiddle with the radio, , none of these activities are safe.

How long to take your phone out of your pocket, take the gum out, unwrap it, put it in your mouth? 30 seconds? 30 seconds where you aren't in control of your car, it takes what, 3 seconds to mount the pavement, your car judders, your beloved phone leaps out of your lap, you automatically jump to grab it (studies have already shown people automatically try to grab their phones to protect them during incidents), bang, small child being scraped along the concrete leaving skin and blood in a trail behind your car. What happens? A year or so jail at the most, probably suspended.

So, again, im sorry i leaped down your throat, but for me, ANY story where something bad happens to a driver is good news.
[HD2 General] Jbills09:
I've been an insured driver for a decade. Never had an accident. NOR even a speeding ticket to speak of. Without taking my eyes off the road, its easy to drive with one hand and take a piece of gum out of your pocket. I don't LOOK off of the ROAD when doing this. Unfortunately some drivers do, and while one deems "safe driving" one thing, obviously another can deem it unsafe by their standards. Simply put, there are a LOT of bad drivers out there. You see them every day talking on their cell phone and using MAYBE 20% of their attention on actually PAYING ATTENTION to driving, so I get your point... but I'm sorry, taking ONE hand off the wheel while still watching the road is not unsafe, and if you cannot change the station in your car, or do simple things without getting into an accident then your license should be revoked. People take it to the extreme. I used to live in Phoenix and in the morning rush hour traffic you'd see women putting on their makeup and curling their FRIGGIN hair in the car. It boggles your mind how someone could deem THAT safe driving, because you should be BANNED from driving if you were to get pulled over or KILL someone for some stupid time-saving choice. If you've gotta do that in the car you might wanna hire someone to drive you to work every day.

So like I said I see what you're getting at and obviously, its a sensitive subject for you but I mean, 10 and 2 not 100% of the time in the car isn't gonna be unsafe if you're still prioritizing your attention & what you can, and cannot take a hand off the wheel for. ONE huge stupid is definitely TEXT/CALLING people. And the aforementioned.

So people, while this isn't a debate thread about texting and driving, moral of the story is.. don't be stupid and use your phone while you drive. I'm just the unlucky bastid that happened to have his in his lap when it shattered to the cement.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
Texas has a new "distracted driver" laws in effect. Basically, they can cite you for doing anything that isn't driving. I'm going to have to look it up.

guess it wasn't as far reaching as I thought:

http://www.hg.org/article.asp?id=18043
[HD2 General] Jbills09:
Yeah, I live in Michigan, and we just started to pass laws. Lots of states have. We just got a "no texting" law. If an Officer sees you on your cell while driving you will absolutely get a ticket every time. I actually think this is a GREAT idea. Maybe we'll save some lives and when a person thinks to get on their phone while driving they'll think twice.

Nokia offers OFFLINE OVI Maps :( how come Andriod does not have something like that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritable:
There is. You can use Google Navigation. If you are not in US or UK (or whatever country that is available) you can use "Google Maps brut". You can cache your maps to use them offline.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muc_waldek:
search for NavDroyd. It costs €5 and works with OpenStreetMap.

Works pretty good.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaphyr:
Afaik it only caches the ones you have loaded before, i.e. you can't use it for navigating in areas you have never been before...which is kinda the reason why you'd need navigation in the first place :rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Nokia offers free offline maps because (a) they are very much playing catch up with Android these days, and (b) purchased Navteq for $8 Billion which means that the maps they are giving away are their own property.

As I understand it, Google "owns" their maps for the US, but have to license maps for most of the rest of the world. You can see this if you zoom into a US map on Google Maps - it will say the map is (c) Google. If you do this on a UK map, it will say (c) Teleatlas.

In order for Google to make navigation available legally, in territories outside the US, they have to come to an agreement with the owners of the maps, which presumably involves money changing hands. Clearly they have done this with Teleatlas as the UK now gets Navigation, whereas other regions are having to rely on Brut Maps (which is a non-Google sanctioned hack).

At the end of day, the free offline OVI maps is very much a unique selling point for Nokia, and will likely remain so until Google and/or others purchase their own map data.

Dave
