There is a free app in the market, called SGS Screen Changer that let's you set the default screen when you use the Home Button (needs root and Busybox to work).

Good luck!

But in their site, they recomends to NOT use on touch-screen displays... :confused: How can I remove this fuxxing scratches???? Thx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icrazy:
displex is really bad for our screens , I tried on a HTC HD .. was a total failure . I d say to avoid it .

Would the toothpaste work? I use it for old CDs and clear model parts, it's basically very fine polishing compound. But then again, that was plastic, and this is glass. :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tander_ZA:
Don't think you're going to get the scratches out - since t is glass.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats101:
stick a screen protector ontop. it minimised the visibility of existing scratches. I had a few scuffs... can't see them anymore with the screen protector :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:

Is it better to use Ultra Clear or antiglare screen protector?

Which is better to make scratches "disappear"?

Thx.

I'm using Martin shields. I've read a lot of reviews if different screen protectors and that consistanly got good reviews. After using it for a few weeks, I can see why.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivuso2000:
hi all, i would like to ask you for a help with my vibrant. I just purchased it and successfully made the root and unlock. I managed to do both even tho my hardware button keys does not support the recovery mode. Any holding of the buttons will not allow the phone to go to recovery mode, this is not working even with an odin. After i did the root and unlock i downloaded the rom manager, created a clockwork image and back up i tried to make the partition of my 16gb SD card using the rom manager. After this my phone restarted but after t mobile logo and galaxy s logo the phone screen stays black. Tried all thee methods to go into the recovery mode but was not able to do it. i searched this forum also but was not able to find similar case to this one. i would be very thankful for any advice.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ!:
a friend of mine bricked his phone and it boot up to the "S" screen then go black after a min. i flashed it using oden and the T959UVJFD file but i got the same results when trying to boot up again. it wasn't my phone and i had already sent the guy to get a new one, but i just started flashing it with all the vibrant oden roms i could find... non of them worked. i really didnt care any more so i was just playing around with the phone and flashed a i9000 rom, of corse it didnt work but when i flashed it back with the T959UVJFD file it worked.... i dont know if it would work out for you i just wanted to share the story... good luck

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlamar09:
how did u manage to do that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaboogy2255:
You do not have to exchange it the same thing happened to me. You just need to use odin to flash the stock rom onto it. Its really easy. Youtube it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivuso2000:
if you have the hardware keys lock the only way to get to download modwe is through odin. For me worked this.

start odin, fil pit and pda

remove battery

usb in the computer

hold volume buttons

put battery in - phone is showing just the battery charging status

disconnect usb and than fast connect back

now you are able to flash froyo from the the 4th post in this thread, once finished you will be in download mode but need to reboot with adb cause hardwate "enter" button will not work

GOODLUCK
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZEDEK:
Peace All,

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section) is it possible to have the HTC HD2 Clock animations on our phones (not the weather animations) modded in an zip file or is that particular animation to far baked into the framework res to be extracted for use in our Evo's?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmsohc22:

[HD2 General] RReckless:
I thought i would share with you some fun i had with my hd 2. My friend has a htc desire and we were discussing like we do here, the pros and cons of windows mobile versus android. In the end we came to the conclusion that the HD2 was much better hardware but that the desire had much better software. That's when i thought id have some fun.

Me. You've convinced me i'm going to use the killer app.

Friend. What killer app?

Me. The HD2 can clone the operating system of any phone via blue tooth.

Friend. That's impossible. You might be able to copy some icons or wallpapers but not the operating system.

Me. I don't know much about tech stuff but lets just try. So I ran the Haret Killer app :)

White letters started filling the screen, something about Linux and to our amazement android loaded. I asked him to show me how to use it as I had never used android before and I can tell you he was totally shocked that I could even use the market place.

I must say that to see his face as he was using my phone was just so funny.

I think I'm going to be in trouble this weekend because he's going to bring an iPhone 4 around and I'm going to clone it. I might just say its not working because of the iPhone bad reception. :)

[Touch CDMA General] sprintvogue:
ok guys i bought a sprint touch (vogue) phone about a 3 months ago when i started having problems with my older phone. well i finally decided to activate this new vogue phone and i cannot get good reception. Now compared to my old sonyo this phone stays searching for service almost all day. While the old sonyo would have three bars of signal. i started doing some searching online and found out that these phones were bad for signal reception. After all that searching i want to unlock my phone and install the newest rom, radio rom, and see if it will help my phone. i tried to return to the store but they will only give me 25 dollars for the phone and that made me very mad. At the moment it does not work and i have really nothing to loose if the phone becomes a brick.

i have downloaded the NuVogue and NSFan roms plus a lot of cabs. What i do understand completely is do i need to install a radio rom or is there one already in the Roms. if there is no radio rom in these roms then which one is recommended?

thanks
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
If you bought a sprint phone then it probably has a sprint stock radio. Does it show the sprint logo at boot?
[Touch CDMA General] sprintvogue:
yes it does have sprint logo at start.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
You can try reflashing a radio or rom with a radio, but I doubt it will help much... have you EVER been able to call with that phone? How did you provision it? If it's a new vogue from sprint(?) why won't they give you a full refund or a warranty replacement?
[Touch CDMA General] sprintvogue:
i cannot return it because i did not buy it from sprint store. i bought it from my friend but he did not tell me he was having problems with the phone. what should i do.

i do not know what else to do?

i really like the phone but i cannot get any reception, that is my problem. i do not use it for text, music, or online. i just need it for business.

any suggestions would be great.

thanks
[Touch CDMA General] scotttr:
Have you tried *228?(or whatever the Sprint equivalent is)
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
So, the device stays looking for signal? Does it ever get at least 1 bar of signal? I have an idea, which may sound a bit far fetched, but it may be the case. At one point in time, I remember trying to replace the E$N of my device with an MEID (turned into pseudo E$N). Needless to say, this cannot be done, and my device stayed looking for service forever. I have a feeling that maybe the E$N was changed and it was either input wrong, or simply someone tried to play stupid and replaced it with a pE$N.

Check for the E$N behind the battery and compare it to the one in the system (you can check this by going into PST, you don't even need the MSL as you are not editing the programing parameters of the device).
[Touch CDMA General] sprintvogue:
ok i took a look at the ESN numbers in back of the phone and i got this:

************

then i went to settings and looked in device information i get this:

*************

Does this mean anything?
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Unless you mistyped the 36A152D number, it looks like it is not complete.

Decimal conversion from the one you gave me (without the dash, of course) should give you a Hex number that is totally different.

My guess is that your friend tried to change the E$N of the device and did it wrong/used an invalid serial. If you put an invalid E$N, the phone will stay searching for networks forever, which is what is happening with your device. You have to change the ESN back to the original (the one behind the battery), but if it was changed, I have a feeling it is probably black-listed by Sprint. I would call Sprint and ask if the device with the number you gave me can be activated on their network.

BTW, I edited the numbers you gave me to protect your device's serial.
[Touch CDMA General] sprintvogue:
ok i took a look again at the numbers and i did miss type. there is suppose to be an 8 between the 5 and 2.

ok so then i need to go back to sprint? What should i tell them? Do i tell them to put me back to the other EsN like the one on my phone?
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Don't even talk to them about changing ESN. Remember that this is an illegal practice in most countries around the world (IMEI, MEID, and ESN for those who use other serial numbers). I have a feeling that you are better off trying to reactivate your older phone and try to get the guy who sold it to give you your money back.
[Touch CDMA General] sprintvogue:
i think you are right.

i will do that first.

thanks guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi everyone,

I want to find the application that allows me to turn off the screen like I press the Power Button.

Since I uses the silicon case with my phone, so it's hard to press the power button, then I prefer to use a shortcut on screen to do the same like the power button.

Any suggestion?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIWAT:
If 2.2, try the "lockscreen" widget

if 2.1, try the "widget locker" (Not very good, but at least it works)

Both from Market.

[Nexus One General] rumitg2:
I was thinking. About getting the new T-Mobile g2 when it comes out. Is it worth it to switch. I read that the new processor is even better the samsungs. Do you think. Its worth it?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Unless you want a keyboard, of course not.

It's 99% the same phone, but with a keyboard.
[Nexus One General] metalhead8816:
I would wait until Q1 of 2011 when the dual-core 1.2ghz phones come out. Or at least that is what I am doing.
[Nexus One General] rumitg2:
I know there are alot of similarities but i keep hearing that the phone has better battery a faster processor, and faster speeds in HSPA+ also witha keyboard. since I mainly use it for texting i find it hard to find a reason especialy since sliders are rare in android unless your on Verizon.(Tmobile) to not get it aside form the fact that in 3-4 months there will be alot of better dual core phones.
[Nexus One General] RellikZephyr:
I highly doubt dual cores will be out that quick. It would be nice tho

Paul: its actually a very different phone, scorpion processor with adreno 205, big improvement on snapdragon

Rellikzephyr
[Nexus One General] G0belet:
I'd switch in a heartbeat if I had a job to pay for it, if the device is as open as our beloved N1, and if the 3G was triband. We didn't read the final spec sheet but IIRC the 3G is only dual-band, making it impossible for us Europeans to roam to the USA.

That's pretty sad for such an awesome HSPA+ phone. But maybe the spec sheet I found is wrong and the radio actually IS triband!
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
more importantly, it doesn't have vanilla android because you get some seperate preinstalled apps like swype. So you won't get Android updates as early as Nexus One Users with stock android. This is a KO criteria for me. I want to get the updates first, as soon as google rolls them out, and not wait for tmobile to release them.
[Nexus One General] Quantumstate:
Why is it that vanilla Android cannot be installed on a TMo phone?
[Nexus One General] Carloswithac:
I'm getting one. Sexy phone. To me, at least.
[Nexus One General] Jrbourque:
The phone is not that close to a nexus, the g 2 will run much faster than the nexus with second gen chipset and supports faster speeds, better battery life, keyboard and handles flash better its def a decent upgrade and its sexy
[Nexus One General] GorillaPimp:
Agreed. The specs are too close to the N1 to try to ride out for a year(I know I can't go two years with the same phone so I try to get something that won't leave me mad for more than 6 months as new hardware comes out.) 5mp camera? No sale. I'm waiting for a dual core, higher megapixels, HD out, 720p video and a coupon for a half-price on a hooker.
[Nexus One General] phewizzo:
Mytouch HD is coming out this year and has dual snapdragon processors.
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
I want to see some benchmarks and reviews before getting the G2. The N1 is still a great phone.
[Nexus One General] newjaruz:
I will be waiting for something that has specs like the rumored HD7.. dual core 1.2g processors and 4.3-4.5 inch screen and 1g of ram. When i see this I will make the switch
[Nexus One General] Sistum Id:
I would wait for reviews before upgrading. At least that's what I'm going to do.

I may hold out until after the myTouch HD comes out. Because I'm wondering how many other dual core will follow for TMobile. I'm thinking TMobile may not see any other nicer higher end phones than the G2 and myT HD until Fall of 2011.
[Nexus One General] Chinpokomon:
Preinstalled Apps, such as Swype, run on top of Vanilla Android. There is a very small modification that we make to the framework to make Swype work properly, but this is not nearly the same as complete frameworks like TouchWiz or SenseUI. Those types of frameworks need to be heavily modified to maintain compatibility with each release. In many ways, it is the driver support that holds back rapid rollouts for different phones, Vanilla Android or not. If the kernel is a new version, those drivers need to be recompiled and perhaps rewritten, and those come from the OEMs and their suppliers.
[Nexus One General] SeEsAw12:
What are you talking about?

G1, MyTouch 3G, MyTouch Slide, Nexus One, and HD2(these are the only ones off the top of my head) all have vanilla ported onto them.
[Nexus One General] rumitg2:
The Nexus one, Mytouch 3g, and g1 have always had vanilla android.
[Nexus One General] Quantumstate:
Godammit, this is why I'm asking. If Cyanogenmod can be installed on these other phones, why is there so much crowing about how the N1 is special? WTF is it that makes the N1 better than the others, from a software perspective? This is what I am trying to find out, but nobody seems to actually know, in their conscious mind anyway.
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
if you'll notice, the majority of folks are not crowing about the nexus from a software perspective, or any android based phone for that matter... the big deal is (ok WAS) the hardware.

each time a new android based phone is released, people don't get excited about android version 2.x.x.x, they want the HARDWARE because in most cases if it ships android, it can run any version android. the hardware makes a huge difference.

see ?
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
I won't pre-order because I would like to see finalized specs and benchmarks, but the G2 and MyTouch HD are looking nice. The Nexus is dated and will be slow like the G1 before long. This hobby requires upgrades at least twice a year! As such, we are long overdue from the Nexus. The G2 and MTHD are pre-holiday releases, and who knows what the new year will bring. How about early Christmas and Valentines gifts to myself. Yeah!
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
I'd get it if it had AT&T 3G.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
If you unlock it can you use it on the att network. Like vibrant? Maybe ?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
It's because there are 100 Android phones.

Yet not a single one got 2.2 for 3-4 months... Except for the Nexus One.

And it will continue to be like this for at least the next year or more.

[Edit]: In addition, new versions of Cyanogen Mod (among many other popular ROMs) are written specifically for the Nexus One first.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
Probably not. Samsung is a different company than HTC
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
One major difference, that matters to me, is the G2 has 8 times the amount of ROM (4GB) and Desire Z has 3 times the amount of ROM (1.5GB) the N1 (512MB) has.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-g2#tech-specs

http://www.htc.com/www/product/desirez/specification.html

I think it's silly not to have 8GB or more of internal memory (i.e. iPhone) in a device, but for the G2, that's a nice step up.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] navillos:
Im just waiting for the pre-order G2 its gonna be sweet. ive seen the gpu benchmarks and they are more than adequate for me. the most important thing to me is it will have better multitouch controller. Dont get me wrong i loved my nexus it was a sweet phone, but the multitouch was crap. Also did you see the bootup on the desire z! i mean holy **** thats fast. G2 is going to be a faster and more efficient phone. Lastly i cant wait for the SLCD! yes i know everyones going to say "are you crazy" but yes i am crazy. Crazy about really have a 800 x 480 resolution. The article showing the difference between the desire's two screens really got too me.
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
The processor looks amazing, but it really isn't much different. Unless you think that 7.2mbps isn't fast enough for your phone or want a keyboard, stick with the Nexus. The G2 is vanilla, the Desire is Sense. That's the only difference. The G2 is really a Nexus Z
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
I can't say it enough that if the desire z came in an 850/1900/2100mhz variant I would buy it hands down. I don't know I mean, it happened with the desire. Here's to hoping haha :)
[Nexus One General] TheManCityLife:
Hey what's the difference between vanilla and Sense? I'm debating on which one to get, N1 or G2, but I'm not too sure about the differences between the two OS
[Nexus One General] soloxp:
If I remember right...T-mobile pre-orde...they ship you the phone for 15 days before you have to pay. You can send the phone back with in 15 days and not having to pay for anything. Right?

Also dose the N1 have HSPA+ already built in.
[Nexus One General] deenn:
Very much agreed on the internal memory argument, i think that is a huge mistake made by google. 2 gig at least should be a minimum for a 'flagship phone.'

Isnt anyone bringing in the gingerbread 3.0 argument? 1gh proc are recommended, as i see it the g2 has 800mhz, not saying it isnt enouh but it sounds like cutting it close. More ram maybe thouh...
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yes I know that swype is not comparable to a skin like HTC sense. But it's still an unnecessary delay reason. It's not what Google will roll out first.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Recommended by whom?

Seems like you only read half the story: the 1 GHz requirement was outed by a Google employee as complete made-up crap.

Besides, the G2 will have Cyanogen's 100% support by the man himself. So you can absolutely guarantee it

will

have Gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] deenn:
didn't catch the part about it being completely made up. in that case i'm doubting myself wether or not to buy a G2.
