[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCx85:
Hey guys When ever I try to use the Camera I get a black screen.... only way to get out of it is to press the home button. I have tried on 3 ROMS no success ( defrost , OD , Leedroid) All the same thing. Had no Problems before with it, just recently noticed this. Tried Radio 5.10.05.23 and 5.9.00.20 Still nothing.

Did factory resets, reboot phone, repartion SD card.

Any one know how to fix this or what is going on?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tander_ZA:
Have you tried unrooting it and loading stock Froyo onto the device, then removing all 3rd part apps?

(So phone is completely stock)

If it still does not come right - remove memory card and give it a try.

If all else fails, might be a hardware issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aCx85:
How do I unroot and go back to stock ? Have aTelus Desire hboot .83

Edit: Tried removing SD card still Nothing

Tried 3rd party apps fx camera and retro camera all that happens is app opens then force closes.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blacklion33:
Mate, i think you can ask this in general, not development. Anyway, it might just be cause of the rom itself or an application you installed. If bothered, you can just reflash and the problem should be solved.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
Lately my screen has become a little bit too sticky - my finger does not slide as easily as it used to be (it's not my finger - same applies when I rub the screen with a piece of napkin for instance) even the backplate has less resistance. This is quite a problem - swype for instance becomes quite unusable..

Could it be a kind of damage to the coating (if any)? I have used on the screen the usual hand cleaning napkins - could these things have damaged the screen? Is there any coating on the screen or is it just some kind of special glass?

How do you clean the screen and how smooth does it become (some times in the past the screen was extremely smooth - don't know, however, whether this had to do with accumulation of oils from my hands).

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharaohdk:
do you mean thoes napkins with alcohol on ?

I use a microfiber cloth and it works nicely.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lockpick:
stop using it to watch porn :D

but seriously, what kind of hand cleaning napkin have you used? some tissues have moisturizer in them and I don't think that would be good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
If the problem continues return unit as it sounds like hardware problem. Next tine get a screen protector. Also clean your fingers you grub
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaketurbo:
It's just going to be your skin...

People swet, people give off different amounts of moisture at different parts of the day... depending on temperature, mood etc etc.

Just wipe your screen on your t-shirt. Go wash your hands and try again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Have you tried a screen protector or something similar?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hinerakatauri1979:
there is a cleaning spray with silicon, it also removes the antistatic part. I used it at work for scanners, makes glas surface more slippery. not sure whats it called.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i just use nothing! to clean my sceeen glass, more like, i just wipe it under my armpit :p

i'm referring to shirt sleeves ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boodies:
I think it has to do with your fingers and it giving off moisture. At one point, I thought the same thing. The screen would be very hard to swipe. Once I cleaned the screen throughly and washed my hands, it was back to normal, as in day one.

I use my t-shirt to clean or my eye glass cloth. It should get back to the original smoothness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
Thanks for your replies. I think the screen may be a little bit hazy as well. Maybe it is just my idea. I will try a glass cleaning product. I just hope that they're is not some kind of protective layer that I accidentally removed or damaged.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anamika:
Sometimes a very clean screen may be more sticky....with use the oil from ur skin will make it easier to swipe...happened wirh me on sgs and iphone..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
You are right. That was the problem. The screen now is a little bit more greasy due to the suntan and it works greatly again. So the screen is like sex: when it's dirty it's just better.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fejth:
Hey there guys!

im a long time lurker, but i intend to be more active around these areas the coming years.

Ive been a not so proud owner of the xperia x1, until i discovered Xda..

Now i have the galaxy s in my pocket, and very satisfied!

samsung really made a game changer with this device, and i really think it can be more succesful!

That is if they offered us the option use the stock froyo launcher in the next update...like they will do with the galaxy tab!

Now...how many of you think this could be a viable option?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
Nah, it won't happen like it or lump it touchwiz is samsung s launcher, the froyo builds will be based off this.. Welcome to the active community btw :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cantIntoCode:
Yeah I too wish we were able to use the stock launcher :-( highly doubt Samsung will ever give us the option.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fejth:
Ive heard that the epig 4g has that option!

is that true?

Also, im pretty impressed with the somewhat more mature look of the widgets om the tab.

Seen the feeds and updates widget? the top bar is grey on the tab! i love touchwiz...it brings alot of great features to android...i just wished they would make it more mature, the looks, i mean...
[Fascinate General] dr154:
awesome first impression statement... :D
[Fascinate General] faspalma:
Yep, I totally agree with the camera and flash performance. I was taking pictures last night while sitting on my couch watching TV. Typically its pretty dark in the room with just a couple lamps on. On my Droid and Evo - pics were extremely grainy. On the Fascinate, I could actually pick out details in the darker parts of the photo. Best Android phone camera I've used, second to only the iPhone 4, imo.
[Fascinate General] ConceptVBS:
In the Froyo 2.2 update, Google search icon will be installed.
[Fascinate General] usetheschwartz:
Ok, so I'll throw my two cents in as well. I've been a iPhone user since the 3G and recently upgraded to the iPhone 4 as my work device. Overall, the iPhone 4 was an improvement from functionality sense (the antenna issue is a non-issue for me, I always put my phones in a case, so I never noticed it), but from a design sense, it feels like a step backward. Every phone I've had since I jumped from my Razr V3 has never quite fit my hand right, from the Moto Q to the HTC Touch Pro, Blackberry 8100, Blackberry Pearl, iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4.

That changed with the Fascinate. It just fits. It's light, it's smooth, very nice. The screen is vivid and relatively sharp. Resolution is NOT as good as the iPhone 4 (did a few direct comparisons of the same email, same picture, same website and the iPhone 4 clearly is sharper), but the color on the Fascinate is unreal.

Speed wise, it's not terrible, but you can tell that it suffers a bit from bloat. There is a barely perceptible lag, particularly from the keyboard. I got used to it quickly, but it's definitely there.

Managed to set up Touchdown with corporate email very quickly, no problems there. All my contacts came down mapped correctly and my calendar and email are syncing.

I had a Dell Streak I was playing with last week and I tried to install, without paying a second time, apps I had purchased using the same Google account, on to the Fascinate, but it's unclear to me how to look at my purchase history to redownload it to a new device. I'm new to the Android platform, so I suspect I just have a little learning to do.

The camera is great for a phone camera, but I'll still use a real camera when I want to take real pictures. No worries on my part, I've just never really cared for cameras on phones.

All in all, this is a solid piece of hardware and really, the software thing that some reviewers are whining about really isn't all that bad. With a good vanilla ROM, I expect this device to become my primary device.
[HD2 General] spencarter23:
I had put a pattern lock on my HTC HD2 but my phone went dead and after I put it in charge and turned it on the phone won't accept the right password like it doesn't recognize it ... so now im locked outta my phone . I know how to do a factory reset , but i dont wanna erase everything ..

I heard a whole bunch of stuffs and people everywhere be saying that they haven't heard any other way then the master reset to unlock the phone so I was wondering is there any other way I can unlock the phone without having to do a master reset cause I haven't backing up my datas on the phone yet and since it's locked now it doen't even allow me now to do any kind of synchronization on my pc. So since yall are the experts on that matter please help me cause I'm afraid of losing all my informations on the phone and it has been about two weeks now since I put the phone on a corner somewhere unuseful and waiting for an answer.

thanks already guys !
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Unfortunately, there is no way out other than a reset. Sucks to hear I know. However, yank the SD card out first, at least you wont lose anything that's on that.

Going forward, you can use the built in Microsoft MyPhone to sync backups to your live account. Or any other number of backup software that's out there. You can also set your phone and video to save to the SD card.

Sorry man, it's the most frustrating thing about this phone.
[HD2 General] spencarter23:
Yea that is so frustrating ... but is there any way that I can back up my datas before i perform that master reset cause I have never back them up before and everything is saved on the phone even my contacts cause as the phone locked right now it seems impossible to me to do anything at all. Anytime I'm trying to synchronize the datas on my pc it won't let me and said "your phone is locked authenticate your phone first". So is there any way out ?
[HD2 General] gaarry:
Unfortunately that's one of the bugs, that the lock screen will no longer function correctly, you won't be able to get in, ever, sorry :(
[HD2 General] blooregard_q_kazoo:
i think i know why it happens, at least for me...

seems whenever i install certain cabs, then uninstall them, this happens. most recently has been a swype cab i found off here, was the latest version for t-mobile hd2s. it installed fine and worked fine, but when i removed it, it caused the issue. i reformatted and only installed that cab, setup a pin, rebooted, worked, uninstalled the swype cab, rebooted, broke-wouldn't take the pin.

so maybe it has something to do with using non stock roms and using different kinds of cabs or something...

[HD2 Accessories] StephanV:
I'm looking for a car charger for my HD2, and upon browsing Amazon it seems like most of these USB chargers provide an output of 5V and 1200mA, which is slightly more than the 1A a regular wall charger provides.

At first I just ignored these chargers, but there's plenty of them, so I began to wonder if maybe 1.2A isn't too much for these devices to handle? It's Amazon, so I suppose most of them are of decent quality too.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Accessories] Aleemz:
The device will only pull the power it needs. You could even go for a 2A model. The voltage is the one that needs to be matched.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saskwatch:
I am on a rooted Froyo EVO. I had installed a transparent Google Search widget. The search button worked perfectly. The Big G issued an update to the Google Search app, and it was failing to install. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall my custom widget/app, and I was then able to install the new goodness from Google. Everything was great until I tried to press the Search key. It no longer works. So I checked my /system/usr/keylayout/supersonic-keypad.kl file, and everything looks like the default (I did a diff between my file and a stock file I found on here). At this point I am baffled. Any suggestions?

Thankx
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Does your university require you to use proxy?

Does it block HTTPS traffic?

Is there a sort of MAC address control on its network (you have to subscribe to the network from each MAC you're using)?

What does the browser show when you try to browse the internet?
[Nexus One General] endamaco:
No I don't have to use any proxy.. I think that https is not blocked (98% sure, how can I test?)

Yes, they require me to subscribe the mac adress of my device (mobile phone or pc).

When I browse the web nothing special happens

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os2baba:
I just realized that I can't run adb push/pull/root/remount on my rooted Vibrant.

adb shell and su works fine. After Googling, I found that it's not sufficient to root the phone, but the boot image or recovery image has to be changed as well.

I use adb because it's much faster to type on the desktop and it's faster than using something like root explorer to move files around. I could do it in multiple steps of copying files to sdcard and then pull/push from there. But it's a real pain.

I didn't try it, but I expect it will work if I go into recovery. But that's even slower and completely defeats the purpose of using adb in the first place.

Anyone find a way around this? G1 with Amon Ra's recovery and cyanogen mod have really spoilt me.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfaze:
Have you installed a custom recovery like Koush's recovery that can be done from Rom Manager?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashless:
Oh hai.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] os2baba:
By that I presume that I'll have to boot into recovery and then be able to get root access with adb. Right? If so, no, I haven't done that. As I said, the reason I like adb is that it's so much easier and faster to to do it from the computer. If I have to reboot the phone into recovery to push and pull files, I might as well just do it over the phone or indirectly via the sdcard. In which case, I have lost the reason to use adb in the first place.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q426669:
I can push/pull just fine here...

If you have not installed Clockwork Recovery that might be it. I would recommend checking in development section. Maybe you did not install the SDK and Drivers properly. It's all covered in Development.
