[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Sometimes, and I notice it mostly after unlocking it, the screen orientation is off (I'll be holding it "in portrait", but the screen is in landscape mode). Instead of switching immediately to portrait, or even after a couple seconds, I have to hold it in landscape then back to portrait for it to switch.

I only started noticing it after installing 2.2 last week, and it doesn't happen all the time. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I haven't calibrated the compass since 2.2, and after 2 minutes of rotating the phone around on 2.1, on at least two different occasions, I said screw it and stopped (before the calibration finished). Could that by why?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Also, maybe it's the launcher (ADW), but sometimes click-holding a widget/app shortcut on one of the screens is "wonky". Sometime I can click-hold it and the phone will vibrate and I can drag it to the trash or move it around no problem. But then sometimes it just won't activate. I just tried to delete a widget around 20 times. I click-held for anywhere from 1-3 seconds, and no vibrate. However, after I let go, it activated the program. WTF? Eventually it worked, but it really shouldn't take that many attempts.
[Droid X General] FromBBtoDroid:
Same issue. I have LP+. I disabled auto-rotation in settings\display as a temporary fix.
[Droid X General] toddman:
I have the same issue after unlock too. I've noticed that I have to hold it in portrait for a few seconds and tap the top to get it rotated. Quite annoying since it happens all day long. You're right, this didn't happen before froyo.

Anyone have skills with re-mapping buttons? I would love a dedicated button to rotate screen. I wouldn't mind the camera button remapped for that. Full Press=Rotates screen/Half Press=Locks screen in that rotation.
[Droid X General] tdrake2406:
thats odd im on rooted 2.2 and dont have that problem with adw installed on it. it could be the accelerometer. i notice it other times not after unlock. usually i do have to wait a second and tapping it does help which leads me to belive its the accelerometer. however if this is a really big issue for alot of people then a button to auto rotate the screen would be very helpful.
[Droid X General] sapo2112:
Did anyone try calibrating their compass after moving to 2.2 and see if that fixes the screen orientation issues?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
Sapo, I have. After doing that it wasn't happening for a little while (maybe a day or so), but it's back now for the last week, and it's happening more often. And I tried what someone else suggested, tapping on the top of my phone with a finger, and that flips it around to normal every time.
[Droid X General] gerelee:
happens a lot with mine too, unrooted, still running moto blur...several apps open that way, email, messaging....not always though, so it's a bit puzzling.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
I would try using the Stock Blur Home to see if its just ADW
[Droid X General] gerelee:

[Captivate General] roller415:
Is it possible to make the Captivate vibrate when a voicemail is received? I have tried everything I can think of and cannot get it to vibrate.

Thanks

I found an app called Voicemail Notifier which allows you to control everything for voicemail notification. Works perfect.
[Captivate General] abacon15:
It is just a notification, like a text message. Make sure that vibrate on notification is enabled. If you want to do it without that other app that is.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fecht:
I apologize in advance for wasting anyone's time, my LED on my phone died the phone got replaced but they performed all updates on it before I was given it. I can't find a method that works and don't particularly want to try unrevoked (unless I can switch back to toast's method).

Can someone give me some guidance.

Thanks,

fecht
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
Well Toast's method gives you the .76 boot loader, which you can get back after running unrevoked and then following the directions in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=752832.

So if Unrevoked works, that is what I would do.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldavar:
Hello everyone. I've got the HTC Pure from AT&T. I was reading through some other posts about registry tweaks to improve the performance of the camera, unlock picture modes, increase photo quality, etc. All of the tweaks seemed relatively harmless to the phone, and the only risk was to the camera if something didn't work.

Well something did not work, but I'm not sure what it was. Some of the tweaks worked fine (like unlocking Sport and Burst photo modes). However, now whenever I take a regular picture with the camera the phone freezes when it displays the picture I just took. The only thing I can do at that point is press the "end/hang up" button to return to the main Today screen in TF3D. But then when I return to the camera app it won't load, and the picture I just took was not saved either. If I run the cleanRAM app, the results show between 1-2megs freed up, then the camera app responds again, but still the same end result.

I've reviewed all the settings in HKLM>Software>HTC>Camera and everything there and in those subfolders appears normal. But I don't remember what the settings were originally. I'm hoping if I return the camera registry settings to their default values this problem will be fixed.

Does anyone have a list of the default HTC camera registry settings? Also, what are the other registry keys that affect the camera besides the folder where I've been looking?

By the way, I did post this same question in the "Windows Mobile General" section, but a senior member suggested I post it here instead. I'm relatively new to this site and didn't realize a specific section existed for the Pure/TD2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
There are multiple keys throughout the registry that affect the camera.

You may need to do a hatrd reset to get it back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldavar:
I'm trying to avoid that. I was hoping that someone had a stock rom and could export the registry for me to compare, or at least the sections affecting the camera.

If someone out there (who has NOT modified the registry sections for the camera) could just share the info that would be great.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugulugu:
i wish i could help you because i had a at&t pure too, but i'm already change the values of the registry and i don't have any idea wich could be the originals.

by the way, i have tried to change the values of the size of the pictures taken in modes busrt and sports, and screwed my camera jajaja

i don't remember the values of the keys that i've changed, so i just put a more logical number and my camera worked again!!!

excuse my english
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hugulugu:
well, my phone is not working fine, so i have do a hard reset and now i have the original values of the registry, so if i could help you, just tell me what values you need.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldavar:
That would be amazing and really helpful! If it's not too much trouble, after your hard reset, just export the entire registry so we'll always have it as a reference going forward for anyone who needs original values.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldavar:
Ok, so I finally broke down and did a hard reset on my Pure. It's a pain in the butt, but there was no other way to fix the little irritating glitches that I was having.

After the hard reset, the VERY FIRST thing I did was install PHM Registry Editor and export a backup of the entire registry. I also created a separate backup of the camera settings in HKLM>Software>HTC>Camera, because that was where I think the problem was coming from.

However, PHM creates .rbk files, not .reg files, and I don't know how to view them. It's all a jumbled mess when viewed with Notepad. There is no option to change the exported backups to .reg files either. But anyway, at least I've got a backup file of the entire registry if I need to reference it later - I'll just have to find a way to actually view these files or change them to .reg's.

[About XDA developers] The Analog Kid:
Why it can't be done inside XDA Labs app? In order to reset password (because I forgot) I had to force close XDA Labs and then go to browser version because emailed conformation link redirected me straight to XDA Labs app again, where I can't reset password. Now that I figured out the trick, this question might look like irrelevant, but still I can't help wondering why such a simple task should involve all that going back and forth and force closing trickery. It's not that it's that difficult, but just including a friendly "forgot password?" question inside XDA Labs login section would be way easier and faster, I guess

BTW... There is no "UserCP" option available over here

I have a GT-I5500. Actually this doesn-t mather. But there are Android 2.2 firmwares and the Cyanogen mod for it. What happens if I flash my phone using the firmware of a nexus one or a galaxy s i9000?

Does anyone have a suggestion what I can do with a i5500? Special stuff? Updating stuff?

I know how to use Odin downloader or how to use adb. So I know everything I need to know. Now I would like your help :) I hope to support the android community as a future programmer.

[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Lately this forum has been littered with senseless and useless garbage. People are starting threads only to say stuff like "I got Froyo...not!". I thought the point of this community was to share information and be helpful to others in need. Who is the moderator here (do we even have one? I have yet to see one post), and why is all of this nonsense allowed to fly?
[Vibrant General] tiebmbr:
here...here.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Amen, this **** is getting really old.

YOU ARENT FUNNY OR ORIGINAL.

Theres at least 3 or 4 topics on the first page with this bull****, why hasnt it been cleaned out?

My topic was deleted immediately after my problem was solved, yet all these 12 year olds run rampant here in the General section, completely unchecked.
[Vibrant General] StefanB86:
Funny, i reported to moderators the same thing you are saying a few minutes ago... i mostly just ignore those kind of posts, but it's getting very old to come in here and just read senseless threads all over it. :(
[Vibrant General] demize!:
If they where at least original but three threads for the same stupidity, seriously?

Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
[Vibrant General] smutek:
I think the moderator is also a developer. Properly moderating this forum would probably require at least one full time salaried employee.

I agree though, this is quite possibly one of the worst boards I've ever read. If you check out the other sections of this site it seems pretty normal, vibrant section is like west Baltimore. No idea why that is, different overall demographic I guess, lot of kids, who knows.

Its fun to read over coffee or while bored at work, and there are some decent posters, but overall the vibrant general board is pretty well a mess.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
I happens...as a long-time lurker and now registered, it looks like the "android-forums" are leaching over. I just do not click on topics that seem to fit into this thread's category.

Yea, it has gotten old.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
You know what I find even more annoying ....

People that do not contribute, have been here only a short time, that think they know what is best for this board ...
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Are you serious?

Please let me know the exact post count/contribution threshold that you have deemed appropriate for deciding whether or not a useless, off-topic post, belongs anywhere other than the Off-Topic board.

In fact, what I find most annoying, is people who have inflated egos and think that they are better and can decide who is a worthy contributor.
[Vibrant General] ags29:
What's worse is a senior member not realizing that what the op is saying is completely true. You don't have to be here for a long time to know what's right, that's common sense.

If I was allowed to moderate this thread, just logging in once a night to delete/ move threads should be enough to keep it clean. Then, when I get tired of doing so, why not allow someone else to do it? Just a thought.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
Never said anything about off topic posts, or even post count .....

But to make a thread like this is just as bad ...

But like any "community" you have different types of people, and unless the "majority" sees the problem then just whining about it does nothing but annoy the rest of us.

It is the old "If you are not part of the solution , you are part of the problem" stance, there are contact pages to send messages to the board owners/admins for this kind of thing.

This board has been here for a long time, and it was originally for people who were DEV's and People wanting to learn not for instant gratification.

I do agree that the "BS" threads are annoying, but does this thread not fall into that same category.
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
I have contacted moderators/admins.

But it comes down to what constitutes deletion of a thread. Like I said earlier, I started a topic in Q&A recently with a bug question. I solved my problem, but in solving it, another question arose. However my thread was deleted before I could even come back to check it again.

If my thread, after having my problem solved, was deemed unnecessary, then why not all these garbage threads, with no point or reason?
[Vibrant General] fit333:
Well said op big +1 from this vib/xda user.

And all the "bricked" threads.. Dont people have scrole wheels on thier f_ing mouses?
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
Mainly because this is a public forum, and yes they are annoying, and a lot of useless crap, but everyone has a right to post , UNLESS the "gods on high" deem it unworthy, not sure why your thread got deleted, did you ask for it to be, was it a double post...

Yet here as with life there is/are double standards, so again making threads whining about it, is about as annoying and as the "nonsense" threads.

Are people unable to NOT READ nonsense threads, someone twisting your arm making you go into them, does search not work for you.

You do realize that what keeps a lot of the "nonsense" threads up in the list is people going into them complaining about them, people going in and saying "delete this thread" every few minutes does not help anything except keeping it at the top.

Ignore them and they will go away ...
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I agree. The general forum is no longer worth reading.
[Vibrant General] cybertang:
both sides of fence

hell i just got rick rolled in a froyo thread but my fault for reading the thread. but i see both sides of the argument if you get annoyed from what people post don't read, but there are those who do like to abuse their posting rights and post stupid stuff but the rick rolling i got to give them kudos haven't been rick rolled in like a year so, touche on that one but yeah i would like to see more legit posts from people and not just some stupid gag post.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
You really can't control , or I say should not have to control, what and where people post, but you can control responses to those posts, if you ignore them , they fall off the radar, if you keep posting in them to complain they stay at the top.

Just as much as the people posting the crap , the people responding to the crap need some self control.

So again "if you are not part of the solution , you are part of the problem" .

but I agree, have not been "rick rolled" in quite some time, silly , useless , but still some funny stuff ....
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:

[Vibrant General] Sane1:
Not a lot going on in vibrant land lately so not a lot of relevant worth reading topics or posts to water down the spam and trolls.

Once rom development picks up the vibrant boards will be flooded with topics and posts by people who can't read or follow directions and have no reason to be mucking around with their phones in the first place and demand help for problems they can't describe in coherent sentences. Like every other part of the forum.

Hopefully the development out weighs all of these things, which is what kept me coming back with my G1 and MyTouch 3G. Just report the thread/post and move on. What more can you do? Feeding the trolls never helps.

I have not insulted anyone here, I have not got out of hand by flaming anyone, but it seems that some people cannot do anything other than insult people.

If it is insulting to you ,me posting to annoy you , then that is not the point, the point has been, and still is, "complaining about useless threads, IN useless threads will solve nothing".

As you can see "WE" have managed to keep this useless thread at the top of the forum, so I thank you for proving my point, just add this thread to the list of ones clogging up the works ....

Please feel free to fill out a moderator application. Most of you are correct, this forum should be much cleaner. Unfortunately, as of right now, I am the only moderator for all four Vibrant categories. Despite what you think, it requires MUCH more then logging in once a night to clean up. I'm logged in all day and on average, it takes me 1-2 hours just to clean up the development thread. You can't just move and delete, you have to actually go through and read the threads to make an appropriate decision. Some of these threads are simply titled incorrectly, but many include important information to for the end user.
