Has anyone loaded the samsung analog weather clock widget? And have you noticed that the actual time is off by a few hours???? But if press the clock and goto the weather screen its right in the digital portion?
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Yeah...noticed that myself.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Figured it out

1) Tap the bar under the clock to set the city.

2) Tap the menu key.

3) Tap Set DST (bottom right corner, picture of a sun).

4) Tap your city name at the top of the screen and you will see an orange sun appear next to it when DST is on and tapping it again removes it.

5) Tap Done and then tap the Back key.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrusheen:
Less than two weeks ago I successfully rooted my evo using the 2.2 guide. I heard good things about Fresh so i installed 3.1.0.2 and got stuck in a boot loop, but a quick trip to the Fresh FAQ fixed that. But now that I upgraded to Fresh 3.2.0.0 after wiping dalvik cache, cache. and doing a full wipe, and re partitioning my SD card. After a few bumps in the road I had it working. But I started to boot loop again, so I would clear my caches and the next boot was successful, But any boots after that would do a couple loops and then load. I know its not a problem with bootanimation because it did the same with the Fresh bootanimation. Anyone have an idea..I"m tired of hearing "droid" around 5 times whenever i boot my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Which recovery are you using? If you are using clockworkmod, switch to RA recovery. Clockwork doesn't play nice with Fresh roms. With RA, wipe and flash again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrusheen:
Thanks, switching to RA and wiping everything worked.

EDIT: It acutally seems like it was caused by changing my bootanimation. I swapped Freshhh with a bios animation and it started doing the same thing....Swapped the bios for a droid and did exactly the same. I know you can restore it back to freshhh and get it working good, but why does it do this?

Also included is a logcat from a little while ago from when this first started happening. http://pastebin.com/SWhXQe48
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Don't flash the bootanimations, push them to your phone instead.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrusheen:
No difference

I have the same problem, It happened also when I used a bat file that ran:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource

And the Droid.zip when looking into the code just ran pretty much the exact thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
I don't know....some evos just don't work well with Fresh roms. When I was using Fresh, I didn't have bootloops, but instead, it would freeze on the boot screen and boot up 5-10 minutes later. I got tired of it and switched to something else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrusheen:
I guess I'll stick with this for now because I have it all set up and I like it, but when CM6 comes out with 4G and their bugs are fixed I'll switch to that. Thanks for all your help :)

Does anyone know if theres a way to change the length of the vibration to something shorter?

its in the settings menu.

Bump. I found an app, Smart Vibrate. Let's you choose the pattern of vibration for SMS, but it does so right before the default vibration, and its not very good, anyone know of better ways to control the vibration intensity for the Vibrant?
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
When you travel to another time zone, the calendar automatically shifts the time of all your events to reflect the change (...just on the phone, not on Google Calendar itself; thank God). For example, if you're now in a place where it's 1 hour later, and you had a lunch down for 12pm, that same lunch is now shown at 1pm.

This may fit with how some use the calendar (and think about scheduling), but it creates issues for me. (Stock Android calendar doesn't behave this way, right? I know B'berry doesn't.)

Let's say you're planning a trip, and you enter a bunch of appts. into Gcal for while you're there. You can't put down a noon lunch as 12pm, b/c when you get to your destination, your phone's calendar will show that lunch at 1pm. You can't put down your flight home as 3pm, b/c it'll show up as 4pm on your phone that day (and you'll miss it!).

Same thing in reverse -- if you're on your trip, and you create an event in the phone for when you're back home next week ("12pm lunch"), the phone will sync it into Gcal as an

11:00am

lunch -- it knows you're a time zone away, and converts your entry into your "home" time.

Workaround #1 (clunky):

do the math in your head when you're scheduling events that take place out of town -- put down your 12pm lunch as "11am," so it will show up as 12pm once you're there. (Same thing for creating events which take place at home while you're out of town).

Workaround #2: (preferred):

once you're out of town, turn off the phone's "Use System Time" option, and keep it set to your home time zone; then manually bump the actual time up by an hour (or two, or three...) so it's accurate for where you are. The phone will think you're still at "home," and will keep your event times as they look in Gcal. (Then just go back onto system time when you're home again.)

Would be nice if the calendar had an option to check/uncheck - "Adjust Event Times When Time Zone Changes." (One of many things that would be "nice" if this calendar did...!)
[Vibrant General] richan90:
Funny.. I just encountered this problem today. I just changed all my appts to the correct time and left it at that. This is fine for people who rarely travel, but I could see how it becomes a problem lol
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
This is totally a problem. The idea is that you are supposed to enter the time of the event as it occurs in your CURRENT timezone. So, if you are in New York, and you have a noon lunch scheduled in London tomorrow, you enter the time as 7 AM. Then, when you get to London, it shows up as noon. This can be useful, but it is also really error-prone.

The solution is that there should be a drop-down box in which you get to choose the time-zone of the event. So, you can either enter it as eastern time (put it in at 7 AM), or choose GMT, and then put it in as noon. My Outlook calendar does this, so it is technically possible. People have been asking about this since the day google calendar came out, so who knows if we'll ever get it, either online or in Android.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
cparekh - thanks - you said what I was trying to say, though you did it with 200% fewer words and 200% more clarity...!
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
You offered two workarounds, which are useful. The fact of the matter is that for people who frequently change time zones, Gcal is very difficult to use. I use it, because it integrates well with things like TripIt and, of course, my Vibrant, but I spend a lot of time being very careful.

The only workaround I have found to be reliable are to write the actual time of the event in the notes. For example, if the flight leaves at 6pm eastern time, I write Leave: 6 PM Eastern in the notes. That way, not matter what time the appointment says in the calendar, I can double check what it was meant to say, just to be sure. Usually, I am correct in the math, but every now and then, this saves me from missing a flight.
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
Coming from Windows Mobile using activesync I used the peak and non-peak option for email. OS 2.1 did not have this option...but Froyo 2.2 does...however it does not always work correctly on the schedule.

I want to see work emails from 8-5p so after 5pm is non-peak and no mail is checked...however I still get mail after 5pm because it is still on the peak schedule. If I reboot my phone and then check the send/receive schedule it is on the correct schedule for MANUAL for after 5pm.

So it does not automatically switch and only rebooting fix the schedule. Is there a way to kill the mail app and bring it back up...but this still defeats the purpose of a schedule if I have to do that each day...

Any solutions..??
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
Anyone using the peak non-peak mail setting out there and seeing what I am seeing???
[Droid Incredible General] xFlawless11x:
I use the peak and non peak check, but during the non peak I don't have it set to manual which I think may be your issue. I'll try it tomorrow and get back to you tho.

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] amienzero:
heya guys.

i'm trying to tweak my touchflo to add the fullscreen weather but after searching through the forum i didn't find any tutorials, guides or references for me to follow. the only reference i found was this post made by twolf. i've tried exploring the cab file he posted but no luck. found the files needed but i don't know what to edit to add those files on Mega.

then i found this thread which explains how to edit the htchomescreen.xml. skimmed through the pages and still no guides on how to add the fullscreen weather.

please help? rakesh_4utoo managed to add it to his cooked rom and i've already ask him a question on how to do it but he didn't answer.

thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
I don't much care for Sense, as do allot of users, which is I'm sure why there's an increase in CM based android builds.

I haven't tested all of these builds yet, but I'm downloading them now. I know the original ShubCRAFT works great, but hasn't been updated in a while, leading to Warrenb to re-cook it to add the new kernel with Wifi Tethering support, amongst other things.

I've been using for about a week now, the HyperDroid build, which has been amazing, though I've gotten occasional touchscreen freezes, causing reboots. But I can confirm data to work amazingly, in addition to the wifi tethering.

ShubCRAFT 1.5 (RMNET/PPP)

Warrenb's Re-Build of ShubCRAFT 1.5 version 1.2a (RMNET/PPP) - Wifi Tethering

Bansters 1.2a - Wifi tethering

HyperDroid 1.1 - Wifi Tethering

Post your experience with the various non-sense based CM builds, along with any builds I might have missed.

There is allot of general discussion on each individual build, but as each build changes so much from day to day, especially with kernel changes, it's hard to determine which is currently the best and most stable build for HD2. I personally prefer the CM builds as they have the additional settings (long press app number, and mostly the status bar tweaks with the battery/dBm indicator without having to install any additional apps or have them in the background running, taking up bar space with additional batteries).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dantheman_:
shubCRAFT is my favorite. I've tried the others, but it feels most like stock CM6 to me and everything just works. I do wish there were other builds based on the nightly CM builds... But oh well!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
For whatever reason I stick with shubcraft. Maybe its a loyalty thing but I feel like Im missing something whenever I am on a different rom. Also aslong as I dont tinker everything works out rather well I actually am starting to feel I have a real android phone and not just a port.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dantheman_:
I agree, it feels just like my nexus one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
I just downloaded Bangsters.....

USB Mass Storage/Tethering/Hotspot!!

I'd say it has the most features to date of all the builds.

But I wonder if the USB Mass Storage is working correctly 100%?

I know in other builds it's been disabled because of data corruption....

Did they just turn it back on or was that issue resolved?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qipengart:
Bangsters the best looking but shubcraft has the killer battery life using Energy ROM so far.

REVISION: Hyperdroid is becoming my personal favorite!

I'm using bangsters and gotta say I'm never going back to sense. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Shubcraft for sure.

I've tried them all, and Shubcraft is the most stable one out there (at least for me!) . Next to that, i took my phone from the charger yesterday morning and i still have 51 percent left (with SetCPU).

That is with internet, messaging, theming and email every now and then :)

Haven't tried the others, but hyperdroid v1.1 was good (no crashes, and a very few problems) and now the v 1.2 is even better, high frame rate and very fluid (1845 in quadrant)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
I voted shubcraft because I've been using it daily since 1.4.

I just last night tried out hyperdroid and bangsters. Both of the used the really high res look which I like. I ended up liking bangsters more because launcherpro and adw were built in. Performance seemed about equal.

Its hard to give a preference if you just try them out like I did. They need long term use for a better evaluation. I wish one build was clearly superior to make this decision easier.

Stuck with bangsters as shubcraft hasn't been updated in a while.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
mccm. good loking.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Switched to JDMS since shubcraft & hyperdroid are discontinued, and it's the best I've found thus far.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
Been using Bangsters 1.5 and have been happy with it, even have it down to 0-3ma during standby. He's been slow to update lately though, as he had some IRL things goin on.

I was going to try Shubcraft, but then noticed it got discontinued, and didn't notice WarrenB's version, so I'll give that a try instead.

I did have some issues when transfering a large file (+500mb) to the card while the phone was running, and the system just didn't want to work right until I deleted that file, so not sure if the usb mass storage is working 100%. Perhaps there's a file size limit for "working".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sukru:
HyperDroid is the first ROM that works stable, and I can actually use for more than a few hours.

Thus my vote is for HyperDroid.

Hi guys! (sorry for my english)

I love Android builds without Sense, but i have a problem with the battery life using Bluetooth... I got 50-70 mA with BT activated, even without syncronice with any device, while it's 7-9 mA using Sense builds...

Do you have the same problem? I have tested like 6 differents builds with no Sense and i got high consuption in everyone... I'm lost with that :(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sleepwalkers:
Why on earth would you want to watch 720p YouTube videos on a screen that isn't 720p?

The Android app doesn't support it because it generally errs on the side of lower quality due to generally slower cellular connections.

Flash Player on Android likely wouldn't play anything over 480p very well on Android, so even if you could, you likely wouldn't want to.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
The problem is I cannot choose any thing except 360p no more no less that is why Ian asking
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radddogg:
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Can it be sent back for repair?
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
It cannot be sent back for repair since it is a Beta hardware model.

If it be a hardware problem, then it's really kind of odd that the change in sensory detection or interpretation makes a 100% improvement. The "Interrupt Methd" should not be able to correct a hardware problem that would otherwise be really pervasive, don't you think?

I reallyy appreciate the feedback!

I think that the most important question for me and my little orphan is: "How do I make a permanent change to my Streak's 'interrupt Method'?" If it can be done satisfactorily with the utility in question, then where is the configuration file (in /etc, I'd imagine) where I can manipulate it?

Everything in the running GUI environment for the touchscreen is made better by this adjustment, but I don't know how to make it a persistent configuration change rather than a temporary one (and it is temporary when I change it with 'Emlist', reverting when the screen goes to sleep),
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
On top of that, I'm getting USB errors --oh, nevermind.

I have observed in my gnu-linux syslog that I'm getting:

...from the Streak when on the first FastBoot screen.

EDIT: Nevermind --My USB connection has been fine for ADB operations, so this is of no consequence.
[Streak 5 Android Development] johnh123:
I had this problem, such that the device was essentially unusable. Dell replaced my phone. I've seen on various forums that a number of people have this- hopefully Dell gets a fix for it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] gilrad:
Sounds like you took a spin on the Beta roulette wheel and lost. Sucks to be you, but youre not the only one, if it makes you feel better.
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
Do you mean that you had a USB problem or the Calibrate Screen problem?

My USB connection has been fine for ADB operations.
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
I have just noted that my first FastBoot screen lacks the border of dashes that can be seen at 01:58 of this HOWTO video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXH17USk-g . I have never gotten a glimpse of the screen that appears at 01:31 of the video.

The FastBoot item on the first fastboot screen is not clickable, no matter how hard I press or how widely I go for a click/press.

This makes me think that the FastBoot "problem" may not be intrinsically related to the touchscreen's problem.

Any ideas? I am starving for ideas, especially since I just tried to use 'flash_image boot.img' from a Modaco recipe, which has left me unable to access the OS.

Also, there is no ADB access from the Dell recovery console. Is that true of all these Streaks? All I've ever gotten while in that recovery mode is "Device not found".
[Streak 5 Android Development] johnh123:
I had the calibration issue.

philverb, try a screen calibration, that might help.
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
I tried to take note in the OP that screen calibration actions in the Recovery Console and in the first screen of FastBoot do not work, failing with a big, red-lettered "FAIL".

Did you have something else in mind?
[Streak 5 Android Development] johnh123:
Maybe. I don't get the fastboot screen when I power up with both volume buttons pressed. I get a different screen, which has a couple options including screen calibration, but not fastboot. After calibrating there, you may have some luck.
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
There are two things here: the Recovery Console and the Fastboot Console/Screens.

Recovery Screen: hold down both volume buttons while powering up. You then get a menu of Four items:

1. Factory Reset

2. Software upgrade via Update.zip on SD Card

3. Screen calibration

4. Power off

--The Screen calibration has its own contextual instruction screen that indicates to "Press volume down key to calibration screen, Press camera key to exit." [grammatical errors not mine]

**This screen calibration for me fails with "FAIL" in red letters, no matter how many times I try.**

FastBoot Screen: hold down Camera button while powering up. This is where, as I have said a couple of times, the word "FastBoot" appears in the top right, but it is not surrounded by dashes as it is in the video I mentioned ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXH17USk-g) at 01:58 of the video. It is the missing dashes that appear to define that "FastBoot" area as a button. In my version of the bootloader/fastboot thing, that area appears just to be a "dummy" area and intended not to be a clickable button.

--There is also a non-clickable area labeled "Touch calibration" in the top left screen, and I can activate it by using the left-hand volume button.

**When activated, this function makes the screen go dark, then returns to the original screen (also described in great detail in the original post), but then has the word "FAIL" in letters highlighted in red.

I really do appreciate your interest, and I hope that it doesn't seem tedious that I repeat myself in order to try to clarify, since you seemed to have gotten the wrong idea from the laborious detail I threw into the original post.

I think that what you have just mentioned is included in what I've been saying I have seen, no?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] BrokenPixel:
Did you tried opening the streak and reseating the touch panel cable? When I opened my streak just to check it out :D I saw a finger print in the camera connector, that made me think that MAYBE some wires weren't fitting 100%. Just a tought.
[Streak 5 Android Development] philverb:
Good thinking....

That's a strong thought, and I thank you for it. My phone is (semi) bricked at the moment I am wondering now about the question of whether or not the screen problem may itself be preventing the FastBoot GUI from creating the border and therefore a clickable button.

I never get the the button border that is visible at 01:58 of the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDXH17USk-g .

What do you think?
