[Hero CDMA General] tenseiken8:
I worked for sprint and I can guarantee that guy got canned. a coworker got fired for crediting a few bucks (5-10, don't recall exactly) to his personal account about 15 minutes after he did it. they can't tell you that he got fired because it's an internal matter what happens to which employee. that's pretty standard for large companies.

anyhow, that's really all they need to do, legally. realistically, you can't expect them to bribe you for your business. you're talking hundreds of dollars in hardware in exchange for a tenuous promise that you will remain a customer for an indeterminate period of time. it's not worth the expense. sprint is a business, not santa.

It's not common but this sort of thing happens, and it's not just with sprint. there are safeguards in place, mostly an access log and an automated algorithm that watches for potential abuse of the bypass. it isn't perfect but it caught my coworker. agents need to be able to bypass in the system sometimes, legitimately. restricting that to supervisors or some such isn't really feasible.

anyway, get new cards issued, change your phone number, and buy a large dog if you're worried about reprisal. just don't expect sprint to buy it for you.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
UPDATE: sprint contacted me today and the person who did this to me was fired and they are pressing charges. apparently he had done this to others and was selling stolen sprint phones from his stores inventory. they thanked me for helping them catch the guy and that's it. nothing for me in return, what a damn joke! :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Nothing for you in return? Are you kidding me? What world do you live in? Since when should one be rewarded for reporting a crime? It's not like Sprint was letting the guy get away with it, they took action as soon as it was brought to their attention.

I bet you want healthcare, education, food and cars all for just being fixxxer2008 right? You're the damn joke.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
How can I change the icons I click on for various apps? Instead of say having a bag for the market app (Vending.apk), I wanted to change it to the little droid holding a bag from this set of icons. I found the icon inside Vending.apk (ic_launcher_androidmarket.png), I changed it out with one from that icon set. But then market just stops working completely on my phone. Thanks for any help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1wingangel:
Hmm , that's odd because i changed the color of mine from green to red, and it works fine.

Maybe because I only altered and not replaced the image?

I know riptide changed his completely, so it is possible.

sent from my iPhone 4...........destroyer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milominderbinder:
The simple answer if you are not rooted is to use FolderOrganizer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
I am rooted, not question there. Something is causing a hangup when I change out icons.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
SteelH,

What process did you use to change the icon? I've changed mine a number of times with no issues.

My method is as follows:

-adb pull Vending.apk onto my PC

-Use 7-Zip to open apk and replace icon.

-Close apk and adb push Vending.apk back to /system/app/

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'll give it a shot on my phone and post the result. And, assuming it works well, I'll upload the apk for ya.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Yeah, that's what I did and finally got it working. I made the mistake of messing with things while phone was up and running. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
SteelH,

I tested the method I outlined above on my phone and it worked. If you are still having issues post them here and I'll help if I can. That said, below is a link to a modified Vending.apk with the icon you were looking for. Hopefully, it will work for you.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiratePetey:
So when you go to the cyanogenmod mightlies page

hxxp://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/liberty/

change xx for tt

do you download the .zip or the .zip.md5sum.txt?

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1m3R:
Grab the .zip . The md5sum.txt contains the MD5 hash...which is one method to verify that you've downloaded the full file.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

Then, you flash the .zip
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prata:
You want just the zip. The md5sum is just a verification for you to see if what you downloaded is what you think you downloaded.

You can run md5sum on the zip and compare your results to the md5sum file from the repo.

Hi is there a version of the multi touch keyboard with the magnify bubble that droid x has that I could install on my fascinate? I can't seem to find something that will install .Using android 2.1
[Fascinate Android Development] zachchen1996:
Ya same i used to have a Droid x and i miss the multitouch keyboard, hope someone will find a way to port it over to the fascinate as an apk file that we can all install.
[Fascinate Android Development] Irishpride:

I have the Droid X multitouch keyboard on my Fascinate and have had zero problems with it. =)
[Fascinate Android Development] theicemonkey:
I just did this as well; it works like a dream!

I used the q-ime.apk as recommended by Androidious and moved it into the /system/app folder using Root Explorer. After that, just long press in a text field, select the "Input Method" radio button (if applicable), and select the "Multi-Touch Keyboard" radio button from the options.
[Fascinate Android Development] aloa64:
hmm it's not pasting into /system/app in root explorer for some reason. anyone else running into this issue?

*EDIT*

nm, just had to reboot

Another note for anyone else installing this: this is just the multi touch keyboard. The magnifying glass is NOT part of the apk. At least, for me that's how it is.
[Fascinate Android Development] ogxku5h:
ok, im sucha noob.

How do i get this kb to work on my fascinate? i have astro file manager and i have no idea how to use it or to get the kb to work... let alone install. any help?
[Fascinate Android Development] zachchen1996:
You will need root access to move the kb to the system/app folder. Root your phone and get root explorer, you need root explorer to move things into the system/app folder

[Droid X General] dthrashtaconecom:
I want to use Android Wired Tether on my Droid X with the recent Verizon OTA stock Froyo 2.2 update. I want to USB tether to many different Windows PCs.

I loaded the 2.2 Update over the Verizon network yesterday as usual.

I downloaded Android Wired Tether from the google code depot (wired_tether_1_4.apk) and installed the application.

I rooted the Droid X OS.

Running "Wired Tether" on the Droid X results in the the error message "Unsupported Kernel!"

The error is what I expected ( but not what I had hoped for ). From what I can gather, some of the networking software was removed from the stock Froyo ROM, contrary to other devices like the HTC incredible.

So my question; is there a ROM which includes the missing software? The "FlyX - birdman" ROM available on the Wiki page looks promising. I'm hoping the experts here can confirm my suspicions before I begin experimenting.

Thanks!
[Droid X General] PleaseStirMe:
*Bump

I am looking for this also. There are a few good reasons to use wired tether. No speed loss, your phone is charging, and no problems with rogue intrusion/detection.

I have tried wired_tether_1.4.apk on the first leaked 2.2 with no luck.

There may be a need to edit your tethered NAI before using Wired_Tether_1.4.apk also. Any insights on this?

PleaseStirMe
[Droid X General] AsaSpades:
Im not sure, but wireless tether works fine, im sure the speed isnt that much of a difference, and plug it into ur comp still if ur battery is low
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Is this on 2.2 OTA or Leak, etc?

Your sig still says 2.1 rooted.

I'm not able to get my WiFi tethering working with 2.2 Leak.
[Droid X General] PleaseStirMe:
Looks like we need a custom kernel to use wired_tether(the stock kernel has the necessary files removed). BUT, as far as I know there is nothing but the stock kernel for Droid X, atm. Correct me if Im wrong please.

The AOSP project for the DroidX does look interesting though.

There are lots of other options for tether but if you want to use USB, Wired_tether is preferred over PDAnet and easytether since there is no need for a client install. ANY Windows 7 machine (has RNDIS natively) and most Linux boxes with a USB port can instantly tether to the wired_tether program with zero modification.

I'd love to see wired_tether working on the Droid X.

PleaseStirMe
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
I don't know about "wired-tether", but "Easy Tether" uses USB. It works on 2.2. I am using it now. The connection is very reliable but not very fast. It does NOT require root. There is a free and a paid version.

It is a bummer that wifi tether does not stay connected. But I can recommend Easy Tether.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kryston:
And where to write them now, that their filessytem is bad, and thy should use another one? like ext2/4

i think this is why you posted it here, cause we were talking about an official letter by xda, about what we found out etc.

and you said its better to contact them via facebook.

so any idea how to start something big, that they notice, they have to change the FS and fix gps and all other problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the way we did it last time to get the 3 button fix, is simply by everyone posting into the wall about the problem

the more people that post the better

so everyone needs to join in to comment on the problem about the lag, so that they can fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
Thank you for these links. Very nice organised list! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ksm_hjx:
thank you for sharing these infos,i just sent a e-mail to the samsung, through facebook i think is a better way to contact with them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
It's a good list....... and I thank you for your efforts in trying to build a forward list of users wishing to express their opinions.

Unfortunately Facebook (or any other portal for obtaining information) does not interest Samsung.

I and many others have already posted on Facebook and not once has Samsung come back.

An example being in the past week quite a few have posted asking for a Froyo update..... When Samsung finally came back (and it was just the once) they spouted off about a competition. They totally dismissed any of the pleas and have not been heard of since.

I've also tried on Twitter which according to the UK P.R. Manager for Samsung is the media of choice.

Again, NOTHING!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
I still think direct communication and getting the news to tech sites (Engadget, Phandroid ect) could be much more effective.

You really expect the engineers are Samsung to browse Facebook and read the loads of crap that their pages get flooded with? Professionals have better things to do with their time.

Direct communication can get through to high ranking people and developers, seeing news about their software screw-ups on major websites will encourage them to act.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
That is also my opinion.

Again I commend AllGamer in trying to inject enthusiasm into this issue but I personally have found the direct line of approach to be more rewarding...... even if it still does not bear fruit at this stage.

Sales people and Marketing team cares about Image, and when you pressure the sales team, they will get into action.

I've been through many large companies, the companies runs based on the feedback from Sales/Marketing team

It doesn't matter what was the big picture the Development Team had in their plans, all that will go up in smoke the moment the Sales Team announce another "feature" or "new product" even though it wasn't even on the original road map, the Developers will have to do a full 180 to go and work on the new stuff the Sales people are selling, even though it's all vaporware.

the GPS issue we know they are working on it already, although they never officially admitted it

We did it with the 3 button SPL fix, and we got results, we can do it again with the Lag issue as well.

The reason it worked is because everyone chirped in, when you do it on your own, or with just a few people, it wont work, you need the support of the masses.

As long as everyone pitch in and give them the same message they'll have to acknowledge it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
Good points. It's not impossible to take both approaches of course.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
Cheers for this. Almost worth signing up to Facebook again - almost. As someone else has said, at least in the UK, Samsung's preferred social media site is Twitter. And if you look through tweets mentioning @samsungukmobile, all you'll see is lots of people being ignored. By all means give it a try, but personally, I'd recommend not putting all of one's eggs in one basket, so to speak. Instead bombard them through all available communication channels - e-mail, Twitter and Facebook. And wherever else you can think of... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tkalli:
You are correct about Sales and Marketing.

A large Multi-National company was evaluating a product I developed under an exclusive option.

R&D loved it and had all kinds of plans for it.

Sales and Marketing didn't know what to do with it.

At the end of the option period it was dropped.

Head of R&D resigned in reaction to the decision.

In the end, Sales and Marketing rule.

​
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
That was me.... On that, Samsung have not posted on that page since the 20th Sep but what is worse is I have replied sending two tweets and not one has shown up on their twitter page.

Have a go.... post a message to @samsungukmobile and I bet your message does not show up on their page.

Now I know why it is their page of preference..... Tweets are being deleted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
this is why we need an organized effort to post on their walls, tweets, emails from all fronts

Their sales/marketing people can't spend a whole week deleting messages from their accounts ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
Yup. Been there, done that, still waiting for a response. They're not deleting tweets btw, as they're only being mentioned so don't have the power. Instead, they're just ignoring them, because they're wankers. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that's the difference with Facebook, they can't just ignore it

and if they Delete it from facebook, then you know they did read it but did not want to touch that topic

yet if they leave it on their facebook page, they will get criticized if they don't answer it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
It does work we got Samsung Canada to release the 3 button update.. Via Facebook... After a few post about the problem Samsung Canada replied that they are looking into to the issue.. they even asked for more info from some users.... about 1 week later Samsung Canada updated us saying they found the problem and would be release a fix soon.. a few days later the update was released. and they even thank some people for bringing the issue forward to them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I'm going to be selling my Desire soon, when the new Z comes out.

I'd like to provide the buyer with the best experience possible using their new phone, but also I don't want any probs with come-back if a newbie starts fiddling with a rooted phone and doesn't understand what they're doing.

I've been using NeoPhyTe Mod 1.8 Sense Froyo for some time now, as it's provided stability and decent battery (using SetCPU to scale down the battery). Before I settled on this ROM I couldn't get much more than 12hrs out of the battery which was hugely disappointing (I believe this is due to the fact my workplace has a very weak 3G signal).

I was also pretty gutted when my internal memory filled up within a couple of weeks. Again, Apps2SD+ has solved this with an ext partition.

I wouldn't want my buyer to think they'd made the wrong choice of phone, so this is my reasoning for leaving it modified.

I'm not up for teaching someone all about Recovery/Clockwork Mod/Nandroid/what a ROM is etc etc.

So my dilemma is, do I unroot and give them a phone which doesn't perform that well, or leave it rooted/tweaked up and the risk of something going wrong later on? In it's current state the phone is rock solid stable, good battery life and plenty of room for apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
I'd unroot it and give it to them stock. It saves you hassle when they ask whats this and why has my phone done this. If they really want to change it let them do it for themselves. When someone buys it you could ask them if they wanted it rooted. But I'd return it to stock and unroot it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
That does make sense, but it breaks my heart that I've gone through all the hassle of sorting the phone out only to dump it back to a stock ROM :-(

I know, it's not going to be my phone any more....

Where can I find a stock (rooted) Sense Froyo ROM? Looked through first few pages of Dev forum but can't see one...

One more question. If I decide to go the completely stock route (unrooting) where can I find a standard ROM? The phone used to be a Vodafone model, but I debranded with a goldcard - I'm assuming it will now stay debranded, if I flash a normal non-Voda ROM?
