[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollywoodfrodo:
I’ve been looking for something to remove labels from the icons on the home screen since I first got my HTC Incredible 9 months ago and finally found the solution this week. I use Multicon to put 2 apps in a 1x1 square at opposite corners without labels for most apps which looks nice, but occasionally wanted an app to be easy to push on the fly so just wanted the one large app icon, but hate the labels underneath. There are two options for this.

Option 1: You can use Multicon with a 1x1 widget and reduce it to 1 column 1 row. This will produce an icon with no label, but the icon will be larger than it would normally be which some people may not like. Depending on the resolution of the icon itself it may appear slightly blurry.

Option 2: Finally, I found an app that will let you have an icon almost exactly the same as adding the app to the homescreen normally, just without the label underneath. All you need is the free/lite version of Folder Organizer.

Here is the link: Not allowed - just search for Folder Organizer Lite

Longpress home screen. Add > Widget > Folder Organizer Item > Apps > Unclick “Show Text under Icon” at top > Scroll down and select your app > Done.

This results in a nice app icon in 1x1 space with no label underneath and no black spot where the label would be – very nice and clean looking!

FYI - this is using the HTC Sense UI

Don't think thats the rebranding of windows phone 7 at all....
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
It depends on your type of business. If it's a small business without a large infrastructure, WP7. Large businesses that want to manage the devices closely, WM6 (or more accurately, BlackBerry). But I'm all but certain that it won't be long (a year?) til those enterprise features (app distribution, more security policies, etc) become available.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZennieAbitar:
Ok so obviously I have a Desire, I'm new to the android OS and have a stock phone, cutting a long story short, I can't read Thai on my phone, slight problem, my family generally text me from Thailand using Thai, which leaves me with messages my phone can't interpret.

Is it possible to get Thai font on the HTC Desire? if so, without rooting?

I'd prefer without rooting, as I am borderline technology illiterate, and will indefinitely ruin my phone trying to root it (I have looked at some guides and I feel I can't do it).

If rooting is the only way to get my phone to read Thai, could someone pretty please with a cherry on top - direct me to the easiest guide for rooting the desire

Cheers. Zen

As with all online orders, you have to input your billing address in addition to your credit card details.

Don't need to worry if your billing address is a country not approved for Google Market paid apps. It doesn't affect anything.

It's not like Apple's iTunes store where you must have a US billing address to access the US store. (Btw, I've figured out a way around this, if anyone is interested!)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_knows:
Count what about GPS exactly?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgruet:
GPS is never counted as data usage, it uses signal from GPS satellites, not the internet connection. However, if you are using Google Maps, the internet connection is used to download the maps.

3GW has not yet the capability of counting usage per application, but a "pro" version will in the near future, only for phones under Android 2.2+ because it's not technically feasible AFAIK with older versions of the OS.

Hey guys,

I really need per app counter especially now for my X10.

I have only a 200mb plan, but I don't ever do anything else on the internet except use Google Voice app to text(since I tend to text a bunch).

Anyways, first month that I had the phone my traffic got up to about 120mb, but that was because I browsed web etc (you know.. got a new toy and started to play with it type of thing), but after this month I installed counter and monitor it from AT&T's website too, and half-way through the month traffic got up to 140mb!

Now I have disabled background data once I noticed that, now I have enabled it but uninstalled Google Voice app, and gonna have to go without it for few days (which isn't that great) and see if it's it that's causing the problem.

The thing is that I need the app one way or the other, and second is that I want to know for sure what EXACTLY is using my traffic.

Any advice is welcome. :)

Hi!

I have a problem.

I'm just started working with SDK Manager, and Eclipse.

I made an AVD, but every time, I'm want to use it, even in the Sdk Manager, even in the Eclipse (by Run something as an android project), I got the same error.

emulator: ERROR: no search paths found in this AVD's configuration.

Weird, the AVD's config.ini file is malformed. Try re-creating it.

What could be the problem?

I done everything just like as it writted down in the android developers.

Thank you!

Hi - Am running an Android rom and would rather use HTC Sense as my launcher. However I like to squeeze and extra row in on my display but seem to be only be able to do that using ADW or Launcher Pro. Does anyone know if I can add a row on HTC Sense.

OR if not and I have to use Launcher Pro, does anyone know how I can keep the HTC mail and calendar widget as they disappear as soon as I switch launchers.

If I was to be able to chose, the second scenario would be better!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotombo:
I had a CM 5.0.8 based ROM a few weeks ago and my battery was working well enough. I just installed CM6 (CyanogenMod-6-09232010-NIGHTLY-DS) and now my battery runs out while the screen is off at night if it's not plugged in.

When I go into Spare Parts -> Battery History, selecting Other usage and Since last unplugged, "Running" has a red bar and is at 99.9%. "Screen On" also has a red bar and is at 7.6%, and the same with "Phone on" with 0.7%. It's almost exactly the same for "Total in all time"

I can't figure out exactly why that's happening, but it seems to be part of the cause. I just have no idea how to fix it

For CPU Usage, "Total since boot" has red bars for "suspend" and "android system", but both are very small

For Network Usage, "UID 10007" has a mostly red bar with a bit of blue.

I can get screenshots if that's not enough information, but that's all I can find anyway.

Also, when I tap the "Running 99.9%" thing, it says that the amount of time without sleeping is 3+ hours. This isn't right; that's the amount of time the phone has been on, but it's been in sleep mode most of that time. It seems like the phone isn't actually going to sleep or something. Either way, while using the phone my battery runs out too quickly.

Are there any apps that cause this in the background, maybe? I have Swiftkey, Google Voice, and Astrid, all of which seem to run processes constantly. Then again, I've never had any problems before.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmaniac87:
Are you rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YenahsYenzow:
Please keep in mind the apps you downloaded and the widgets you have set-up on your screens. Some apps require to be run in the background eventhough they are NOT used by you at the time, such as Google Talk, Qik, Fring, pedometer, and anything that needs to be "ON"...thats one of the culprit on battery drain you might want to look into.

Having one widget per homescreen is ideal, in my opinion..and learned that by having multiple widgets in one screen, is another culprit in battery drain due to it requiring to work upfront, for example, Facebook widget needs to be on constantly and updated for as long as that widget is there, regardless if you touched/used it or not.

Now, for the MOST OBVIOUS part...turning off GPS, WiFi, 4G, and bs when you DON'T need them, by following hot sexy COMMON SENSE, you should get AT LEAST 3 hours more on your battery. Pure sexy common sense LOL ;-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Greetings,

I couldn't agree more with all the things you noted in your reply.

I rooted mine, and deleted many apps I don't use, but insisted on starting up

even if I had already killed them in the manage applications section.

But I was amazed at how short the life was in spite of having done that. I quickly

discovered (as you noted) that keeping 4G on, drains the batt.

In fact, for me anyway, it really drains the batt!

Just thought I'd mention it, because it was really surprising to me just how bad

an affect on the battery 4G was - bummer.

--Chris
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chjade84:
Mine usually gets between 36-55 hours on a charge (record is 58 so far) with about 3-5 hours of "use" on the stock battery. I don't use it to play games or watch movies, just phone, internet, email, etc - widgets all over the place. Gmail push is always on as well. In fact, I unplugged it last at 10:50pm on the 28th (34 hours ago) and I'm at 48% still.

The biggest thing I've found is download setCPU and adjust the CPU frequency to 245 MHz when the screen is off. That saves a lot. Other then that I keep it at 998 MHz (max speed) all other times. I am playing around with tasker and turning airplane mode on while I sleep, but that seems to have a minimal effect, saving around 2% over 8 hours. I use tasker to turn GPS off unless I'm using one of my GPS-enabled programs, although that doesn't seem to do much either.

I'm running just a basic sense rom with a stock kernel, nothing special. rooted with clockworkmod and that's all I've done rom/kernel-wise.

If you actually use your phone a lot I'm not sure there's much you can do besides get a bigger battery. If you just use it mostly as a phone and less as a PMP or gaming device you should be able to get some nice results.

EDIT: Oh yea, and don't use a task killer (I don't). From what I've read those can actually cause the phone to consume MORE power as services are being killed and opened constantly. Android is very good about leaving tasks open in the background without them consuming power. Opening and closing them constantly is another story.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Get_Out_and_Push:
I wish I could figure this out too. I've been switching between a ton of kernels and roms and can't seem to find anything with good battery life. My phones been unplugged for about 2 1/2 hours and I'm at 53% battery life. No widgets running and just average usage.

Running virusrom and kings #9 and a lot of other roms and battery life is a joke.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmaniac87:
So far, the best battery combo I've found is fresh 3.2 with it's stock rom and I returned to it last night. Some say 3.3 is as good or better but I can't seem to get those same results...

But my real question is, why is the droid able to get such great life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjarn:
My phone stays basically plugged in while I'm at work I'm running fresh 3.3 and kings#9 I thought they are suppose to get decent life but not mine I even have it underclocked oh well I guess thank god for car chargers and extension cords lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnienyc:
What I have found to help most of all is to NOT use the Mail app - it drains the battery like crazy, especially if you are popping several accounts. Instead, use the gmail client and set it up to pop your other accounts, and push them to you. This literally trippled my battery life. And it is way faster than the 15 minute intervals that the mail app gives you. Give it a shot, you will be pleasantly surprised.

What is your ROM, which works good with CK3200LS-COLOR?
[Desire Accessories] seanipops:
I'm having a problem with the CK3100. Not every time, but quite often, when I hang up the phone, the display on the phone and on parrot indicate the call has finished but phone is still displayed in the dashboard and the radio/cd etc remains muted.

Sometimes, if I dial another number or take another call the radio will come back on but often the only sure way to unmute the radio is to durn the engine off, take the key out and wait 60 seconds before starting the car. This is quite inconvenient on the M25!

It also happened with an HTC-620 and, occasionally, an Orbit (Artemis) but never either of my Nokia phones. AVR mobiles who installed the car kit have been particularly unhelpful; their advice is to try another phone.

I wondered if anyone else has had this problem.
[Desire Accessories] predo:
Exactly the same problem - not very often but you're right its damn irritating... As a workaround I've installed simple switch on the red +12v switched cable that is plugged in to the fusebox. This way I can quickly powercycle Parrot when that problem happens or turn it off when I leave car for longer periods at the airport. It shouldn't drain battery at all yet somehow it flattened my battery when I was away for 2 weeks.... and I'm sure everything is wired correctly...

Well, since they only tested 30 apps and won't release the names of the ones they tested, only saying that they are "the most popular", personally I don't buy it.

And the information these apps are sending out is primarily geolocation. Well, no ****. If an app wants your location and you don't think it should have it, it's either using it for ads or you should decline to install the app and just send an email to the dev asking him why he needs that information.
