[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Assuming you aren't rooted, I just want to let you know you always have the last resort of resetting the phone back to default, so the phone itself is still fine.

With root, you can ADB and remove LauncherPro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meils:
Hi cigar3tte,

I'm not rooted, so I could "reset the phone back to default".

Do you mean reset it to factory default (aka hard reset)?

Note: If I press the menu button at the bottom of the device, nothing happens and the popup keeps showing up :(

However, the procedure I found for the hard reset is this:

"With the phone shut off, while holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.

You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.

Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.

It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up."

Should i proceed so?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Yes, I meant a factory reset. Before doing so, check for any data you might want to save.

As for the method, what you found should work fine. I've never done a hard reset from the default recovery. I've only done it from the phone itself (which you can't access) and custome recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meils:
Hi cigar3tte,

I followed your suggestion and did the shut-off-and-on procedure.

After that, I was asked to complete the initial configuration (time, google account, etc). and I am now on the home screeen! :D

Thank you so much for your help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
For future reference, you would probably have been able to fix this without wiping... turn the phone on, then when the X appears hold the trackball, it should boot in safe mode and you can remove/clear data as needs be.

IS it possible to get the old flip clock that actually flips back in any of these ROMS? I am currently using Cyanogen froyo blue. My apologies if this is the wrong forum for this topic.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gorguts:
Sorry, just saw the question warning at the top when I refreshed...been a while guys.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyouko:
Yea download an older version of fancywidget. Not gonna post it because if I recall correctly the mods will just pull it off anyway.

PM me and I'll send you a link, seeing as the app was free when it was on the market. And yes.. this is in the wrong forum :rolleyes:

(mods if I'm wrong lemme know :p)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] KBizzle:
Or, get beautiful widgets. Not a battery hog and it does what the stock clock does and more. There are a ton of skins and some that look like the stock clock.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smolck:
I guess my only question is do you really stare at your main screen for that long that you watch the minutes flip by?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i don't think any clock actually flips on the hero. i remember seeing it on winmo/sense last. i think it had to do with a slow gpu on the hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] intx:
Early GSM Hero builds did, but not CDMA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
does anybody have the original apk that we could try? i cannot imagine it would run that bad?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i think beautiful widget clocks look like ****.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wardfan220:
Weather & Toggle widget with the H7C mods (one for clock and one for weather) looks exactly like the HTC one. Used it when I was running CM6, battery life is great with it also, never had an issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gorguts:
Thanks guy for all the help, and yes...I love to watch em' flip. So there is no way of taking that old code from a g1 ROM and slapping it into one of the current hero ROMs? Just dloaded fancy and it didn't flip either. It was signed 2010 so I guess he is still updating it, looking for a previous version now.

Works for me. Also, they sell the screens and housings on eBay. Not sure what they cost but might be quicker.
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
too much for me, 75 bucks for that, or 100 for a brand new phone through asurion. I also had a light spot on the lcd, and the light leakage, so i am due a new phone lol.

I had just paid 60 for a new digitizer damn it. Didn't even get to use the ****in thing long. I had a scratch on my screen and i buffed it out about 8 different grits of sandpaper then jeweler's rouge and plastic polish, then the next day after a week of sanding and buffing I scratched it again, so i bought the new digitizer.

On a side note, the digitizer is still in perfect condition and is for sale on fleabay for cheaper than anyone's if you guys want to snag one for cheap. I wont link it or anything because i know that is against the rules. Battery door is on there too, and the front camera is going on there. maybe other things. I decided that I would put on there that it got dropped into a trash compactor in case asurion tries to hunt me down and wants the broken phone. I need the broken phone parts to be sold so i can pay for the deductible damn it lol.

If me saying those are for sale offends you, just let me know, i'll delete this post

It wasn't a far drop though, maybe 3 feet onto tile/concrete. Just so everyone knows. The one frickin day i didn't have my jelly case on. I have done this multiple times with the jelly on it and that LITTLE bit of cushioning is all it takes to cause ZERO damage to the phone. INSANE

Oh yeah, and the angry birds was working for me yesterday as well

Man I feel ya. I dropped my phone while running, I used my phone for mp3 and my tracks (great app! btw) while running and now my camera lens cover is cracked and tons of scratches all over but nothing like your, so sorry dude. Only protection I have for my Evo (stupid me waiting for Otterbox defender) is a bodyglove belt clip cover and a screen protector. At that moment I felt like I'm about to cry, my baby is all messed up:(. After all that abused this phone is still going strong with other than the cosmetic issue.

The lens/glass front of my camera is cracked. Is there any way to fix that or can that be salvaged from your phone and somehow put onto my phone, or is all one piece tied to the main board?

I haven't even tried hard to figure it out, I've just lived with a camera that takes pictures with a line down the middle...lol.

If I can get that off your camera and put on mine somehow, I'll buy it.

Anyone know???

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Front or back camera?

I just my back chassis on ebay, so i dont have one for you, but i could help you locate one.

If it is the front camera you would need a whole new digitizer/glass

Unfortunately, not all is peachy when wireless carriers and handset makers start messing with the stock Android experience. Reviews of the Fascinate by Slashgear and Engadget note that the phone uses Bing as its default search engine, not Google - probably more fallout from the cozy Bing-Verizon relationship. That wouldn't be so egregious if you could switch search widgets at will, but alas, the only way to remove Bing is by hacking the phone.

Verizon also swapped in its own Navigator app for Google's free navigation as the default for providing directions, but at least this can be changed in the phone's settings.
[Fascinate General] emplox:
True...however i'm not worried. It has a better cpu/gpu/screen than any other android device on vzw right now. I will be rooting and using vanilla and loving it.
[Fascinate General] mackeydesigns:
qft

+1 for me as well.

If you're on XDA complaining about Bing and all the other garbage that comes on the phone, you're preaching to the wrong people.
[Fascinate General] a62gtypek:
word, hahahahaha :D
[Fascinate General] minedune:
Ok, I've been wanting a Galaxy S variant for a long time now and of the versions available in the US I like the Fascinate the most (I am CERTAINLY wating for confrimation the GPS falw is fixable though before buying). However, this Bing **** is just too much. I don't want to have to root a phone that should aready be MINE, but it's looking like I will have no choice here. Problem is....I'm a super noob and have never rooted any phone ever and don't want to brick it.

So, I need to start reading. Can someone point me to what you think is a really good comprehensive overview of the methods and implications (warranty?, future updates?, reversion to stock os if rom is modded? etc. etc. etc.) involved in rooting a phone. The more exhaustive, detailed and authoritative the source, the better. Thx guise.
[Fascinate General] mackeydesigns:
The current Galaxy S variants have a one click root application. You download it, run it, your phone is now rooted. Rooting it simply opens it to do whatever the hell you want. The norm is to find a stripped ROM (also known as vanilla aka plain) and run the phone at its maximum speeds with no frills or fancy eye candy widgets.

The other spectrum is, to root the phone and do what you want, paint the walls pink, add the latest moby song as your ring tones, install custom ROM's, it's up to you.

I'm not the least bit worried about Bing, even if google is locked out of the stock phone, it probably won't be very hard to fix. It's hard to deny the fact that outside of that issue, this is Verizon's best phone (obviously up for argument, but the screen, come on).
[Fascinate General] ibegary:
hahaha +1. Also sig worthy.
[Fascinate General] Jodiuh:
Actually the screen is the only think keeping me from this phone. I got a chance to play with one for awhile last night and compare it w/ my D2. The quality of text on the new SAMOLED display is not good. The best way to describe it is an old dot matrix printer. My eyes were actually fatigued from trying to focus and refocus on blurry text. The D2 on the other hand was quite sharp and very easy on the eyes.

Just something to be mindful of if you're one w/ sensitive eyes or don't like fuzzy text. Other than that, it feels very solid in the hand. And I experienced zero lag at any time. Even w/ touchwiz/bing, it made my D2 look like a go-bot. :(
[Fascinate General] orateam:
What?

I have a droid 2, been using it for about 3 weeks. Have you actually seen an AMOLED screen before side by side next to the droid 2? Text is 1000000 times superior on the AMOLED. Images and movies even more. It even has a higher resolution even thought the AMOLED doesn't need higher res.
[Fascinate General] Jodiuh:
Yes, I've seen one. Yes, I've put the D2 side by side w/ my Zune HD, the Captivate, Vibrant, Epic, and Fascinate. Text on the (S)AMOLED's will never be as sharp as long as the current pentile matrix is being used. It's actually not even 800x400, but 653x392 because each pixel contains only 2 subpixels alternating b,g r,g vs a typical LCD w/ r,g,b r,g,b.

It's fast, responsive, and has inky blacks, but it doesn't do white, proper color, or sharp text. Side by side, text on the D2 IS sharper than any of the Galaxies.

It works for my Zune HD because I'm only watching movies or scrolling around tracks...in black menus. There's no reading going on there. For a phone you're going to do a lot of reading on, it's just not suitable.

IMO, the iPhone 4's display is the perfect match for a phone. It's very bright and extremely clear...like reading paper...from a laser, not a dot matrix like the Galaxy. It's just too small IMO.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
I like my droid 2, but couldn't disagree more. The galaxy S is king of the screen quality and by a wide margin.

I think this droid2 has a good screen, but n o different than the EVO in my opinion.

From ZD Net ...http://www.zdnet.com/reviews/produc...scinate-verizon-wireless/34129372?tag=nl.e550.

Is it possible to put google navigator on this phone , or does one need to root . Don't want to pay $9.95/month for navigation :confused::confused::confused:
[Fascinate General] Jodiuh:
Yeah, this is getting out of hand. Check Phil's videos out over @ androidcentral. Some pretty nasty stuff. Even though you can get the google search widget, it reroutes through bing! Hitting the little magnifying glass pulls up bing, typing in the url box pulls up bing. And apparently gnav doesn't work...grain of salt there.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Yes, u can put google maps on there as i installed it yesterday when i played with it at the store, GMapps also comes with navigation, we are good guys
[Fascinate General] orateam:
You what i noticed on this forum (fascinate)? A lot of people ready to bash the hell out of it. I see good things in all phones. Yes the droids have bootloader locks, but they have been bypassed. Yes Samsung has GPS issues, but its probably software since they all use the same hardware. Sure the HTC phones are slow, but HTC has been supporting their phones the best.

In XDA forums, which i have been a part of since 2004, a solution to your problems will always be found. To attempt to create panic here is pointless let alone try and do it before the product is even out.
[Fascinate General] Jodiuh:
Haha, thanks for the quick reality check. You know, I did have an incredible for a short time and wnet back through some older forum posts only ti find my reason for return did not have anything to do with the text being blurry. I wonder if I could just get used to that, and the overblown colors? I must admit, im very tempted to swap my D2 with the fascinate today. I would be stuck with it tho.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kregstrong:
I'm about to get a new phone, I like my incredible and I like android, but I would really like a wp7 device, is there any leaks or anything concerning a wp7 phone coming to verizon because I keep hearing rumors that theu won't carry it because of the mess that was kin??

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ADeadlySpoon:
There was an app for this on WinMo, you could use the volume buttons to take a photo instead.

I'd love to see this for Android (would it be phone specific? Not universal? If its even possible)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] davanw:
Third party camera apps allow you to assign a hardware button (RetroCamera lets you use either vol-up or vol-down). But I haven't seen the ability to have the built-in camera app assign a hardware shutter release.

[Epic 4G General] robl45:
this is freaking rediculous, its not my phone as my wifes epic does the same thing. no matter what, not over 150kbps. downloads can be 600K 1.1 meg, and never over 150kbps when testing with speedtest on uploads.
[Epic 4G General] sim-value:
This is simple: upload is not as fast as download :-)
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I've seen around 200kbps upload at highest on my epic.

Just did speedtest.net and it got 973kbps download and 146kbps upload.
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
3G performance has been terrible on the Epic. I have Epic, Evo and TP2 right next to each other. After three consecutive tests, the Epic's best score was 376 / 146, Evo = 1152 / 308, TP2 = 886 / 228. The Evo and TP2 scores were fairly consistant, the Epic was as low as 80 / 122 (yes 80kilobits). That said, while watching the tests run, it does seem as if there could be a cap on the Epic upload speed. Even if it bounced over 150, it would immediately crop back down.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
thats what i'm saying, on the speedtest, I see my upload start at like 300-400 for a sec and then drops down. sprint says upload should be similar to download speed. clearly maybe its a sprint network issue? verizon doesn't have this issue.
[Epic 4G General] dr.pepper1:
On speedtest.net I just got 600 down and 143 up. Like others said, it would go a little higher than 150 on the up speed, but then bounce back down under 150.
[Epic 4G General] yellowxboy:
lame, the speedtest app doesn't even have california as a testing spot.
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
Speedtest.net has a Los Angeles Server for both 3g and 4g. Also Sprint has 2 towers that should be going up soon in the los angeles area that will make speeds more consistant. I have been doing side-by-side tests with my old iphone 3gS and my new epic, and what i found was that in servers closer to the west coast sprint had far better up/down speeds however for servers farther east att had slightly better speeds also ATT had horrible ping.... sprint never had higher ping to any server than att :(. However this all goes out the window because in Downtown LA. im under a 4G umbrella and get 5.1 meg download and a 1.2 upload..... this is fater than what i can get at home using wifi.... suck that ATT!

[Epic 4G General] robl45:
sprint just called me back. had me run mobilespeedtest.com which of course doesn't have upload speeds. Guy was very nice so I'm gonna give him a break. Anyway, he confirmed that for my area, the upload speeds should be 350-500 and said the engineers will look at it and hopefully I'll hear back within 72hours.

my friends droid 2 did the same download side by side and the upload was like 50kbps less, while mine is like 350kbps less.
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
its been rumored that there was a 200kb "cap" on upload, download is just fine for myself but upload does have a part when i upload pics to fb or the like
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
well today I got like 172 on upload when doing 1100 download. so I'd say 200kbps is probably it under perfect conditions.

my friends droid2 is looking very good at the moment. I don't really need the upload speed, but its just how many hardware deficiencies can you deal with? I'm very leary to believe that all the problems are software.

[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
The real problem here is that my upload on my EVO is very close to my download. I'll pull in 800 down on my evo, 700 up. 1 meg down, 800 up. That's 4-5x faster than the Epic, which is not okay.
