I really like the GOTO applications, BUT how could I remove the original lock screen (I have 2 lock screens now :mad:).. the official site says:

that's all "officially", but what about root's, hacks etc.? (sry, I'm noob - still using stock ROM, cos waiting official Froyo :rolleyes:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
Look for an app called "No Lock". You might need to restart your phone after disabling the lock screen to get it to work properly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nas02302:
kinda new to this whole thing so please bear w me

i have a nexus one, running FRG83 which i was updated to this week.

i wasn't aware that updating will unroot my phone.

i root using one click root and now i cant do it no more.

im not an advance user and i tried doing the root got lost half way thru

so here are my question? what do i need to do to root again? do i need to downgrade to FRF91 or even lower?

and after im done can i install any roms from here?

ty in advance

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icegad:
Not sure if it was answered in this subforum

Using cm6

I get better average speeds on my g1 on 3g over my n1 on hsdpa

Is there a way i can disable hsdpa on my n1 to use 3g only?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrdman164:
As far as I know, HSDPA is 3G. Just a different kind of 3G. The G1 uses UMTS.

I don't know if you can just pick which 3G it uses, but I've never seen mine using UMTS.

(It wont let me post a link, but if you google 'hsdpa' it should better explain the differences..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
If you want 3G only, go into the phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*, then select "phone information" and scroll down to the "Set preferred network type" box and select "WCDMA only"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm0is3sx:
it will still get hspa
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrdman164:
But by selecting 3G only wont switch from hsdpa to umts ... they're both 3G bands
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icegad:
Guess its not possible :( ...

Txc for the responses tho....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madj42:
Modify the build.prop line ro.ril.hsxpa and set it to a value of 0. This turns it to only UMTS.

Installed Eugenes JI5 ROM. Created backup in Clockwork. Heres what happened:

backing up system

backing up data

backing up datadata

no/ sdcard/ .android.secure found

skipping backup of apps on ext. storage

backing up cache

no sd-ext found

skipping backup of sd-ext

generating md5 sum

backup complete

I assume this is just telling me its not backing up my external sd? Just want to make sure I will be able to restore this without any problems? Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backward0:
That's what my backups say too. I think you are correct. Maybe thats for apps2sd which the vibrant doesn't support. That's what I always assumed.

Btw. My nandroids seem to work fine though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trigger1974:
I am getting that error message also. Seems to have started after I restored to a back up of my latest ROM (Nero V5).

Anyone have any other advice on this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar.abbas:
Same problem

i have the same problem too.. i only have had to backup things so i am not sure if this backup will work while restoring if anything goes wrong? and if it gets to restore the rom will it restore the apps that i had installed on sd card and externed sd..

i want someone to enlighten me with his experience.. Cheers!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungsten c:
I am having the same problem I rooted and then instal CWM did a back up and got the same MSG.

When to SD card under CWM and the back up was there so I hope if I needed it will work.

My phone is a Samsung Epic Touch Sprint with a ROM Manager v5.0.0.6 Model SPH-D710 Android Version 2.3.6 BAse version S:d710.10 S.EL29
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
This

is for when you use the native app2sd function of Froyo and beyond to move your apps to the sdcard.

.androidsecure is where they go. As a side note, if you try to look at it in the ohone wth Root Explorer or ES, it will show up as empty. You have to look at it on your PC and make sure "show hidden file" is checked. Sucks that you can't see it on the phone but this has been a long time glitch and really a non-issue anyways since we have such a huge 2gb partition for apps anyways.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] illtema:
can anyone confirm that this does or does not work on our phone? I heard it doesn't work for CDMA
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
Works fine on CDMA however I can't get it to work on this phone. It starts fine and set up goes fine but then it will randomly turn itself off. May be a memory issue I'm not sure.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
I've been running the beta, and have had no issues.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] namebrandon:
Why not download it and find out?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] illtema:
ive been running the thing for weeks but i dont necessarily see any difference in batter life so i was doing some web research on what the best settings are and i noticed some ppl saying it doesn't work on cdma so i figured id ask the great minds of xda...

any suggestions on settings?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
I just turn it on. Last night my phone was idle for 9 hours, and only lost 1% battery.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Last night w/ juice defender, off charger. Nothing else. Lol.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mackeydesigns:
The asop fails to instal during setup, is this normal?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
It is, doesn't affect it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mackeydesigns:
So I had to remove the app this morning. Not sure if it actually did anything, I used the plotter, and it kept it fairly level for a few hours early in the morning (3-4am) but I think whatever processes it runs to save battery also prevented my alarm from going off as well.

Two issues I ran into were my alarm not going off (even though it was set, i double checked it last night and this morning) and my screen refusing to turn off. Ended up rebooting the phone and removing the app and haven't had those issues again.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
The app won't affect your alarm, might want to check task killers or memory managers. Not sure about the screen turning off, but it would be helpful to check your logs to find the problem. Sounds like you have something screwy going on.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mackeydesigns:
Could be true, could be false, that's sorta the problem.

Either way, I'll look into it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stanmancan:
I also have a problem with juice defender. I don't know if it is already a setting or not, but when using any program that utilizes 3g when the screen blanks out (screen mute) you loose connectivity even on programs that are running. I know that you can simply go in and disable juice defender, but it seems like the program could be written to allow programs you select to keep the 3g signal open even during screen mute as long as they are running. So in other words allow for another check list to allow only selected programs to use 3g no matter what. Please if this exists already let me know where the setting is cause I want it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Please check settings before posting. In the paid version you can set specific programs to always have access when running. I believe it is also in the beta for free.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dricacho:
Been running Juice Defender v1.8.8. for 2 days. Before that, I was running the BETA version. It's running on auto config as I wanted to see how it would manage on its own. Neither one seems to make a difference in battery consumption. It eventually stops running for some unknown reason. When running, the JD icon doesn't appear in the status bar but appears in the task manager. After a few hours, it disappears from task manager so I assume it stopped running. A friend of mine turned me onto this and swore that he got 16 hrs on a single charge on his rooted HTC Evo running Froyo (custom ROM), semi-heavy usage. He showed me at work, didn't charge his phone all day and by the time we were going home, he's still at 50% battery life. I'm running stock ROM (rooted - bloatware removed). I don't mind getting a paid version but if the free version is not working for me, I wouldn't even think of buying it.

Uninstalling JD as I type this.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Is the version you stated the beta?

Disregard the question, lol, re-read your post.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Kamar234:
I have the paid version and I swear by it. I can go two days with moderate use. The only thing it does is great extends stand by time. You go hours without your battery moving a percentage point. I have the paid version and it is set by default, and you can set it yourself, to not turn off data if it is using the data. I don't know what the settings of the free version are, but when I'm using the data it never shuts it off. The only way it closes itself is when I charge it overnight. No big deal for all it does. Truly an essential, powerful app. I suggest people take a look at the settings and see how it is set up before dismissing it. Also get juice plotter to see what it's doing
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
As with any app, different phones play differently with them. I hear from some that things don't work, when they run as intended on my phone. This will always be the case.

I can say absolutely that Juice Defender Beta works without a problem on my device, and I have tested it extensively. It does what it should without issues or problems.

That obviously isn't the case for everyone. I will suggest that before someone blast a well written app publicly and possibly discourage someone who might benefit from it from trying it out, that they contact the developer with their issues and see if there is a known conflict or bug. I have resolved issues with apps like this many times, and almost always it was something on my end that fixed it, not the app itself.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Kamar234:
Daswolven, I agree with you completely. Learned that with my Droid1 with the overclock speeds and voodoo with this phone, some things just don't work properly on your particular handset. I took the time to understand what this app does and it is extremely powerful. The best way to find out what's good for you is to try it. On a side note, I have been harassing the makers of Beautiful Widgets about the fc issue with our phones. I think they actually took care of it with the last update because I haven't had one in a while haha.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dricacho:
I've also done research on another app called BatteryFu which is suppose to be a "lean and mean" battery saver, compared to JD. Toby Kurien, the author of BatteryFu, claims that JD is bloated and ended up using memory and battery - against what it's suppose to accomplish. One of the biggest battery drain is mobile connectivity. JD and BatteryFu intelligently and transparently manages this essentially enabling it when you need it and disabling it when you don't. On the Fascinate, other than switching to airplane mode, mobile data connection cannot be disabled according to Toby. So this renders those battery saver apps useless. Perhaps turning off the Background Data would slightly help but it is needed by the Android Market so you'll have to turn it on when you need to access the market. You can also try setting up multiple APN's. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this on the Fascinate. My friend has a Vibrant and you can go to SETTINGS -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> APN. The Fascinate doesn't have APN under MOBILE NETWORKS. Maybe someone here has a workaround.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Going to be giving this a try then. I do know that when I wake my phone, there is a small delay of about 5 seconds that I have to wait to try to access data or I have no connection. If the mobile data cannot be disabled, I do not understand this. Not contesting the statement, just pointing out my confusion.

Going to try battery Fu though, and see how it compares. :) Thanks for the heads up.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] illtema:
yea thats what i meant when i heard that jd doesnt work well on the fascinate... so is batteryfu any better then? it sounds like its more of the same
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
Yeah I'd love some clarification on this as well, I was under the impression that it worked. What is it doing if it's not turning my data off? Just hacking my inbox and delaying my emails 30min just to fool me? lol
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dricacho:
I don't think BatteryFu will do any better. The author of this app created it primarily for his HTC Dream on Froyo which I'm pretty sure is very different from the Fascinate. The thing is that upon installation of this app, it performs an APN test which attempts to detect the phone settings that are incompatible with it. When I installed this on my Fascinate, I got a message that BatteryFu has detected a problem with the APN settings. It is possible that the phone is on a CDMA network, or that it has only one access point that is also used for MMS. BatteryFu will not be able to disable mobile data. Furthermore, I downloaded a widget that toggles the APN on and off. While set to off, my Fascinate still maintained mobile data connectivity. I was able to access Facebook, sync my emails, receive MMS, etc. So this pretty much confirms that mobile data cannot be disabled on the Fascinate.

My hunch on the placebo effect of JD controlling mobile data is perhaps simulated by disabling and re-enabling airplane mode. We can do that very quickly via a widget. No need to download a bloatware that would do that.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
Its not airplane mode. Calls and texts go through fine.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
It may be a placebo. I'll take it if it is. Six hours last night screen off and a total of 2% barry drain.

I contacted the JD developer and am awaiting a response. I'll keep it in the meanwhile. Lol.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dhuss:
Was this with BatteryFu?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] DigitalDementia:
I'm not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but I've been using it for some time. It's an app called Super Power designed by one of our own XDA Developers Chainfire. I've been using this on my Fascinate and it works pretty good. It shuts off my mobile data and I know this for a fact because it takes a few seconds to kick back on and during that time I can't use the market or internet for like 6 seconds. It has all kinds of neat options to help increase battery life. Check it out ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807989&highlight=super+power
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
LOL, no, JD.

BatteryFU did nothing actually, saw CDMA and went home. I have the test results to back JD working on my device. Don't know about the data issue, but they either have a work around or they fake it really well. :P
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Going to try this as well, lol. I did notice on his post he states the following:

"2G/3G: What is the difference between the RIL injection and the Sidekick method ?

RIL injection is as hackery as hacks come, and is currently only available for GSM devices. It completely circumvents most of Android and tries to force commands to be sent to the radio.

Sidekick on the other hand will use the same method as the device's settings screen to trigger a band switch, and is therefor both safer and faster to use. It does unfortunately require a compatible ROM. Carrier / manufaturer ROMs are usually not compatible, and not all custom ROMs are compatible either. Sidekick is available both on GSM as well as CDMA devices.

If your ROM is Sidekick compatible, Sidekick will always be used instead of RIL injection.

Both methods have not been extensively tested on a wide range of devices yet. So neither method may be compatible with your device. Please post here if neither method works on your device."

Given this information, I assume that the sidekick method, whatever it is and however it works, seems to function for CDMA. So this leads me to the possibility that the delay in reestablishing data after I wake my screen, and the almost complete lack of drain overnight might not just be an incredibly complicated practical joke.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dricacho:
I've actually been using SuperPower since this morning. I have it set so that it will disable mobile data when connected to wifi. It effectively disabled mobile data! It also effectively controls mobile data to enable for 3 minutes at 30 min interval. This might be a little too much but just for the sake of testing, it has worked just like it said. I really like its ability to disable things like mobile data, wifi, bluetooth, etc, when the screen is turned off. When the screen turns back on, it enables them back. This app is high customizable! Too bad it doesn't have an indicator on the status bar that lets me know its still running. I have been skeptical about apps not actually running when I thought it was since JD.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Kamar234:
I can't say anything for the free version, but juice defender, at least the paid version, turns off my data and everything else on yue phone. There is a sister app called juice plotter where you can definitively see what is being used, and you can see the spikes in data when it turns it on. Also, when you awaken your phone, it takes a few seconds to be able to turn on data. Its a great apparently that has hugely increased my battery life. I think people should give it a chance before dismissing it. You are aware you have to turn it on right. You have to actually go into the settings and push enable. Just opening or installing the app doesn't make it activate.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bL33d:
Superpower seems nice if it saves me some juice ill buy the full version.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] daddymikey1975:
I currently have an Epic and I know the Fascinate is different but my boss is looking at ditching his blackberry for a Fascinate. This got me to reading around in the Fascinate section.

I have used Juice Defender and Ultimate Juice (an add on) on my Epic in the past and I must say, it's AMAZING when setup properly.

here's a thread over at ppcgeeks discussing it: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-epic-4g/133933-sharing-my-juice-defender-settings.html

My settings are as follows:

Timeout - Do nothing

Schedule - Enable Data/Wifi for 5min every 2hrs.

Night - Keep data/wifi disabled from 11pm till 4:30 am

Battery - keep data/wifi disabled while below 10%

Traffic - Leave data/wifi enabled while > 50KB/15s (might change this though because streaming audio cuts off after screen times out.)

peak - do nothing

apps - do nothing

Screen - leave data/wifi enabled while screen on

Location - keep wifi disabled while distance > 1336m

I do know that with it's set on 'prefer wifi' it will wait about 5 seconds before enabling the mobile network to see if wifi will connect. if it does not, then it will enable the mobile network. This is the delay that some of you have noticed. Further, there is a way to select apps that are allowed to 'bypass' Juice Defender settings.. when you hit the apps button, it will take you to an app list. From there you can select (for each app) whether to let JD allow down stream only, up stream only, or 2 way traffic until the app is closed. I used this method (eventually) to allow streaming for pandora, slacker, and scanner radio.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions on settings as I've used this app extensively in the past.

I hope this helps.

Anyone know how I get it to not turn off over night? When I wake up in the morning JuiceDefender is disabled.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
Notification in the task bar? That usually helps keep things alive
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] johnnyv5:
Yes I do keep the notification in the task bar. That's how I know it's been shut down. I don't see the notification any more in the morning so I have to open it and then enable it becuase it's been disabled.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kvaughan:
I have the same problem. Have not found a fix yet.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
If you get the beta from the market it has a sync tab you can click in the schedule section, that helped me.

I don't know why its being killed overnight, mine doesn't. Maybe something with jt's stuff?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] johnnyv5:
How did you get it to work? I chose that option but it still does not sync correctly.

jv
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
I dunno why mine works and yours doesn't. I have it set for 5 min every 30, no traffic exception either. if you have spotty 3g maybe its not able to sync during the short intervals?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] johnnyv5:
do you have your gmail set to push or on a schedule? If you have it set to push do you get email as it arrives w/ these settings?

jv
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
Mine is set to push. I get my email per my JD schedule, so every 30 min. If I'm in a spotty area it might take longer because it misses a sync

Sorry for stating the obvious, but you understand you can't get a normal instant push with this right? It turns off your 3g, that's the whole point.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] johnnyv5:
Yeah I understand I dont' get push email, but if I have it set to connect every 5 minutes for 30 sec it should send me email atleast every 5 minutes, right?

jv
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
Do you have the pay version? With the free its 5 min every 30min

In any case 30 sec is a very short time to sync, might need more plus the traffic exception

How much email do you get? That schedule might defeat the purpose for me
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] johnnyv5:
Yeah I have the paid version. I receive quite a bit of emails so need to get them as soon as possible. 30 second every 5 minutes is soon enough. The next option is 2 minutes every 15 minute.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] NOsquid:
I'd try longer than 30sec. Is your traffic exception checked?

Honestly I don't know if JD is worthwhile in your case.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Not_So_There:
Has anyone gotten the CPU functions in this program to work on their phone rather then setcpu?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mloc33:
I`m trying to instal JD but during connectivity check it says "make sure the mobile data connection is working before launching setup"

I have mobile data checked, is there a way to check it to see if its working?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] deaconblu:
Seems to work for me -

I did have problems with Quick App Killer, but once I removed that, I seem to be getting steady battery savings.

Before Juice Defender install - 4 hours.

After Juice Defender install - 10 + Hours

Running DI10 Stock, rooted. I know it kills the radio for some of this and am not sure how often it updates, but I suspect that I may not be syncing as often with corp server.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
There's a newish app of this variety in the market called Green Power. Claims full CDMA support. Going to be playing with it for awhile to see how it looks.
