I'm getting that problem too, it only works when I'm plugged in to the charger. Idk if its rom or froyo

[Droid 2 Android Development] Brandonw1987tn:
Yep

Man, i tried the super clean version earlier..... still had city id, that stupid need for speed game and just about everything else on it.....AND just about everything i tried to open FCd on me, guess ill stick with epic till somethin better comes out :(
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Thats because you installed it wrong. There is no way you can have need for speed and everything else when those packages are not even in ROM...
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
I think it might be a bug in the original R2-D2 ROM. I am looking into it.

It could very well be on of the blur packages being removed...
[Droid 2 Android Development] Quie2TP:
I loaded this rom yesterday and the need for the pin is gone for me. I know that my exchange server didn't require it, but had to keep inputting the pin anyway. But, loading this rom up solved my problem.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
I can not take the credit for that since Moto/Google fixed it in the 2.4.0 ROM :-D

Unless you are using the super clean ROM...
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
I'm quite happy with the Update 1 Super Clean version. Runs fast, with Quadrant in the 1500s. Titanium brought back all my apps perfectly. It's my Droid 2 as it was supposed to be, before Moto and VZW piled on the bloat.

MotaBoy, thanks for your hard work and pro attitude.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
We need a cracked bootloader!! :-D I know its practically impossible but I'm just saying because I'm bored

Nice ROM, I installed the Super Clean w/ Black Status Bar & Vanilla App Icons, in the end I had NFS as well, and CityID. I was able to uninstall NFS and CityID really doesn't bug me. Also, I installed the Super Clean w/ Black Status & VA Icons, say I wanted the Super Clean ROM w/ the Droid Status Bar, would I just install it over or would I have to redo everything? Again, superb ROM!

UPDATE: Just installed the Super Clean ROM w/ Droid 2 Status Bar and I don't have CityID anymore, only NFS came installed, but it was an easy uninstall. So everything is perfect with me, thank you.! :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
You can install right over it as you figured out :) and NFS is leftover from your old setup. Check the preinstall folder for the install APK. It is in there, delete it so next time you format it will not show up.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
For those that downloaded the market update...I goofed on something so redownload it. It should all be fixed now.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jcatt:
Hey, quick question. I am running the Super Clean version, but my quadrant scores are only in the 1360's. Did you do anything else to get those scores?

What are everybody elses Quadrant scores...

Love the rom Motoboy...
[Droid 2 Android Development] karnovaran:
Excellent work, MotoBoy. I'm running the Super Clean version with no issues.
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
Run it a couple of times to warm up the Dalvik virtual machine.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
It's all fixed now...redownload and install the update.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Question: If i do a backup via recovery, and flash this, and then decide that i want to say go back to my previous *backup*, can i do that without any problems?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Yes...that's what the backups are for :)

Just wipe data and cache before reverting to back up.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Thanks, will be giving this a try later.

I'm guessing this backup concept goes for any roms I try?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Yes it does.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kurtle:
This work with ROM Manager yet? Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if Rom Manager works on D2 yet.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
No it is not on ROM Manager yet. I need some dedicated server space for that.

Yes, ROM Manager works with the D2
[Droid 2 Android Development] event121:
You update just the launcher pro link today or did you update the black notification bar and market fix again as well?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
The market fix, yes I goofed and it should be working now. Nothing has changed with the black notification bar. Not that I can recall :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
quick question how can i change the status bar - clock and date font colors?? cause it blends in with the black htc sense i want to change it to white
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
How can I remove launcher pro ?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
adb shell rm come.fede.launcher.apk or use root explorer to delete it from the system/app folder
[Droid 2 Android Development] wsfanatic:
Can you reflash back to 2.20 or does it update the bootloader like on the Droid X?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Next question: Anyway to get those motorola widgets back like the clock? News, GPS, bluetooth and wifi? Those are the ones i used the most I liked how they looked :P
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Yes you can SBF it back to 2.20

When you installed Clean ROM it made a folder on sd card called removed_pacakges...they are in there. If you went with full rom then browse the zip file, in the app folder all the apk files are in there. Copy them to system/app on phone, set proper permissions and you have missing widgets or whatever back.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
2.4.5

2.4.5 Will be posted later on tonight. Just got my hands on the dump and need to do some work to fix it up and all that crap.

So stay tuned...
[Droid 2 Android Development] Shadowlore:
Any chance of getting an updated version that DOESN'T have the annoying R2D2 beeping on bootup? (or if there's an easy way to kill it, if someone can pass that along, I'd appreciate it)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Goto settings, sounds and change notification ringtone. It will be gone with the new builds :)

I am building everything now and it will take a few hours...
[Droid 2 Android Development] Shadowlore:
Yeah.. I know that much.. but does that affect the bootup too? I thought the bootup animation (and sound) was separate...

If I'm wrong, just lemme know and I'll keep digging.
[Droid 2 Android Development] event121:
Hah! I came here to ask if you had seen 2.4.5 after checking latest s/w at work today.

Good to know it's coming soon. Will be back later to grab. Appreciate the work!
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
Edit: never mind i got it. this rom is awesome !!looking forward to 2.4.5 Keep up the great work!
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Awesome, I cant wait! So what's special in 2.4.5? Or someone can give me a link on changlog on 2.4.5 I would appriciate it
[Droid 2 Android Development] Coderedpl:
You've been really helpful in helping me understand a few things. Im guessing sbf is pretty much restoring phone factory original right? Not sure what sbf even stands for rofl.

All I've been doing past day is flashing all the different combinations to see what the differences are. Time to backup and try plain r2d2 or w.e rom. Then back to this :)

Anyway is root explorer similar to sort of using adb but in a gui? Want to make sure its worth it before spending the$ on it.

And x2 on the question of benefits of 2.4.5
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
uh bit of problem here guys.........i had superclean rom and i deleted the com.launcher through rootexplorer now only the lock screen shows but not the home screen its just blank i cant restore help plz
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Put the updated launcher.zip on your sdcard, then go to Bootstrap and update the .zip and you should be golden
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
oh thanks!
[Droid 2 Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
Any fix for received messages not going to the top of the thread?
[Droid 2 Android Development] indypb:
Thread is back from the dead, lol....

Long story short, somehow I lost my stock R2D2 backup when installing Fission....can I use this and re-install the missing SW stuff to get back to stock?

Problem is I need to return phone to VZW, obviously can't in its current state. And since there's not R2D2 sbf floating around this is the best thing I can think of......
[Captivate General] elteebee:
Recently got the captivate and am a newbie to the Android OS.

Got a question about background apps.

If an app is in the background, is it still capable of sending/receiving data on it's own?

For instance some apps have the ad supported, does that mean even in background , it will continue to pull in ads from 3G?

Or if google map is in background and I am still driving, will it continue to pull in maps as I drive?

Appreciate any info on this.

regards,

elteebee...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerofivethree:
Sorry for the question, this must get asked a million times but I can't find any clear instructions when searching. I want to update my hboot to .92 but I'm not sure how to do it. Do I just flash the zip from clockworkmod or is there some other way to do it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes342:
all you have to do is

1.download this http://adrynalyne.us/?p=55(if you dont have it already)

2. make sure to rename it PB31IMG.ZIP

3 put on Sd card (in no folders)

4. reboot to hboot (hboot will see the update)

4.1. volume up to yes.

5.make sure hboot says the new version.

6. delete the PB31IMG.ZIP from your sd card

thats it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kungfuturkey:
Just make sure to do a nandroid this will delete your kernel or Rom
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
When the phone reboots, it will boot to bootloader over and over...which is fine..navigate to recovery and then reflash your nandroid
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1dest3pnate:
After updating my HBoot from 0.76.2000 to 0.97.0000, NAND is now showing as S-On in the boot loader. Is this supposed to happen? Do I need to go through the NAND-unlock steps again?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1dest3pnate:
bump. Any suggestion?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
I'd try to upgrade to .92. And you might just need to run the S-OFF tool.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1dest3pnate:
Alrighty, I'll look into that. Thanks.

http://techelive.com/2010/samsung-galaxy-s-android-2-2-froyo-update-released/

Cough it up people, who knows what?
[Fascinate Android Development] ibebyi:
umm... if im not mistaken werent we all expecting the intl version to get froyo first anyways? and seeing as its october 1 I'd say giving the carriers a month to load the crap out of our versions is about right. And if you don't mind me asking, what exactly do want from 2.2? I'm pretty sure the JIT compiler and flash are the only things we're looking for considering our cpu/gpu combo makes it a perfectly decent phone as it stands.

Personally i'm waiting for some ROM devs to port some awesomeness, but alas patience is a virtue :P
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
"late October" is fine for me if that's when it actually happens.
[Fascinate Android Development] calhounhusker:
Honestly, I want flash. Had it on my incredible and I miss it dearly on the fascinate.
[Fascinate Android Development] spotmark:
I want Flash, I want the updated GMail, I want Chrome to Phone, and I'm sure there's a couple other things I'm forgetting at the moment.
[Fascinate Android Development] gardndj:
Flash, JIT, improved gmail, chrome to phone, voice actions, handsfree bluetooth (not a fan of nuance), etc, not to mention that koush won't work on a cm port until froyo (although it appears wes is working on the vibrant, so who knows). None of them are huge glaring issues, but when you come from a a froyo phone to eclair it's the little things that you miss.
[Fascinate Android Development] ckochinsky125:
hopefully they can get a hold of a leaked version and start building roms around it so we dont have to wait the extra weeks or months it takes carriers to test and then send it out
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
This is exactly my hope. Seeing info posted in spain, I would wonder if that would be the first market to release, and why. Stateside I know the carriers don't like to give ota dates usually until they start rolling out. When Froyo originally hit the first few N1s there was a flashable zip available within hours. As for the benefits, there's a **** ton, including the fact that most of or development will start there.
[Fascinate Android Development] ibebyi:
oh huh I blanked. why the heck would devs use 2.1 for their ROMS xD

Then yes i am impatiently waiting for this :P
[Fascinate Android Development] jorge3687:
I hope is true

I cannot wait for froyo, it unlocks the true power of the fascinate
[Fascinate Android Development] illtema:
yea flash and roms are what i'm really excited for. i miss that "new phone" feeling

i had droid 2 for a couple weeks b4 trading it in for a galaxy and flash was really nice. plus i swear the youtube quality was better on droid 2s
[Fascinate Android Development] benlane:
I'd really like the Bluetooth connections fixed for my Ford Sync. Great device significantly hindered by GPS/Bluetooth/Flash/etc issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] caffeinedependent:
Don't forget proper MS Exchange support built in - I know several business people who won't make the jump from iPhone to Android until they can do things like manage Outlook Calendaring appointments from their phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] edward_h:
Does anyone else see the irony of being dependent on an Apple product to interoperate with MS software?
[Fascinate Android Development] waywardzeek:
+1 here. Won't work on my Ford Sync either. Have you upgraded to Sync 2.1? Takes a dealer install
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Android does have "proper" Exchange management available by way of Touchdown. While I admit it's not free, it's not terribly expensive either and is FAR more functional than even the iPhone is. At least, as compared to iOS 3.x. I have not seen the enhancements in iOS 4, so I can't comment directly on that, but I'm willing to bet it's still more powerful. That's what's so great about Android though. If what's built in is unsatisfactory, you can find an alternative. Try finding an alternative mail app for the iPhone.

That said, Google really does need to get on the ball and improve their ActiveSync features. It is so rudimentary right now, it's unusable if you're a power user. I almost wish they would buy Touchdown and integrate it into Android.
[Fascinate Android Development] ignitros:
I would watch that... they just purchased BlindType so they are still buying companies left and right so you just might get your wish this year.

blindtype.com/blog.html?entry=temp
[Fascinate Android Development] benlane:
I think so. My dealer just checked the entire system for an error I was getting. Leave it to MS to have a memory leak. Cured the whole problem by removing batter cable and replacing. In PC parlance - a hard reboot!!!

I am able to use the Fascinate with the Sync - just cannot do that and download phonebook and use messaging.

What a pity for a pretty nice phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] caffeinedependent:
Yes you're right about Touchdown, problem is that a lot of people won't invest the time necessary to find apps, especially if they're coming from the iPhone universe where there usually isn't an alternative... it's either in the built-in client or it isn't supported. Sadly, people evaluate (and will strongly criticize) the phone based on how it works straight out the box.
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Sadly, you are correct, in that value is often judged in out of the box performance. That's why I said that Google needs to seriously overhaul their Exchange integration. I really hope they do cut a deal with Nitrodesk so they can integrate Touchdown into Android, like they're doing with BlindType.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrmomoman:
Agreed and when they know that a decent version in Froyo for Exchange integration is available why pay $29.99 for an app that is mediocre at best . I have Touchdown and I am not impressed. The interface is too cartoonish for me. The new Sense Exchange Box for Desire HD is great.

Also when someone says its not that expensive one has to consider that a small company of 5 its a small price to pay to have Exchange integration.But what about 500 people? or greater? That number then becomes a big number.

Android is coming along and if they don't get it together soon the Windows Phone 7 will win over the corporate customers. Its tight integration and familiarity with the Desktop Office exchange makes it a formidable contender in the business market. With Hotmail having ActiveSync it only makes for a stronger case for MS Windows Phone 7.

I am getting a WP7 phone to compliment my EVO. I have the Fascinate and Droid X and I still favor my EVO. If HTC releases the 4.3" that is been floating around then they have a winner and me as a customer. I love my ZUNE player so this will be a great combo. I will drop Verizon and keep my EVO and AT&T for the Windows Phone 7.
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
First of all, its $19.99, not $29.99. Secondly, whether or not that's unreasonable is up to individual businesses to determine, but it could very well be an acceptable compromise, allowing users to use Android while ensuring that sensitive data remains secure. Also, deploying Touchdown across a fleet of Android phones allows for a standardized user experience, no matter what Android phone you have, which makes it much easier for IT departments to support.

I have to support Exchange connectivity on every mobile device under the sun at my job, and I will say that iOS actually gets a compliment from me in this area, because all iOS devices have a standard interface for setting up Activesync account. Supporting several different preloaded corporate mail clients on Android can be challenging, especially when the technical skill level of the users on the other end of the phone varies widely.

Anyway, enough said. No sense in beating a dead horse. Btw, just a quick disclaimer, in case you're wondering. I am not in any way employed by or affiliated with Nitrodesk (company that makes Touchdown).

today only at best buy

fascinates are free w/ 2yr contract

of course you need to be eligable for an upgrade
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
not free but close enough. they charge a $35 "activation fee". i have 9 days till i can upgrade. hope this isnt a one time deal.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
Doesnt look like i will get the chance to get one for free. This "sale" will run every friday in Oct and will feature a different fhone each week. Oh well, guess i will just have to pay $99 each for the 2 i will need in a few days.
[Fascinate General] xenoaurora:
I hope im allowed to do this.

After getting deal switched around on verizon and losing a great deal on my fascinate i decided to research before buying. I saw that wirefly has a great deal on the fascinate at just 9.99 with 2 year contract. and free standard shipping. I personally have never ordered but have multiple friends who love their service.

Not sure how long that deal lasts either!
[Fascinate General] rehpyc:
i'd stay weary of wirefly.. many bad experiences by various people I know irl and through forums
[Fascinate General] s44:
Amazon has had it for a penny for a while.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
with a "new" line only. upgrade was $99 for an individual plan and $149 for a family plan.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Yeah, that got me my Fascinate yesterday! It was a great deal.
[Fascinate General] Teng0ku:
Yep, got mine yesterday, but I didn't have to pay a single cent.
[EVO 4G General] strengthcoach4:

[EVO 4G General] dadoc04:
NICE!!!

10 chars
[EVO 4G General] nenn:
how?! I MISS IT! :(
[EVO 4G General] strengthcoach4:
I just told them that I had SERO 500 then switched plans to be able to use Evo. Now that Evo is allowed on SERO I just asked if I could switch back.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
ok explain to me what a SERO plan is ?
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
yeah, i'm good at complaining so if i can get on it by doing that, that would be great
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
It was a super-cheap plan that was, if I'm correct, supposed to be for people who were referred by sprint employees. But at one point in time, Sprint allowed almost anyone on. I have it - $30 for 450 minutes, unlimited data and text but no free Sprint navigation or TV - I kept one line for my daughter.

Then, Sprint decided no smartphones on SERO so a lot of people griped and complained. Now, it looks like they are allowing smartphones on SERO after all.

Now I have to see if I can switch back as well. I also want to see if I can still add a line.
[EVO 4G General] hwnstyle21:
SERO Premium just started today for current SERO plan holders

$40 now

500 anytime

Unl. N/W @7

Unl. Mobile to Any Mobile

Unl. Data/MMS/SMS/

*Includes Blackberry now

+$10 fee if you want a 4G phone (EVO/EPIC)

**Previous SERO Plan was dumb phone and WinMo friendly
[EVO 4G General] deekoi:
All android plans are required to be on the new plans. the "everything" plans.

This must be a hoax... I wouldn't bother trying to waste time arguing with Sprint...

Edit: I did some snooping around and I stand corrected!

[EVO 4G General] h20wakebum:
I wonder if they'd let me keep my $20 off for 24 months AND 19% discount...
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Nope, it's true, but you must already still be an original SERO plan holder to get it.

[EVO 4G General] kryptoniteman:
Strength-

When did u switch? Cause I would like my old plan back but I switched in June
[EVO 4G General] JArcher84:
Man I love everyone on this site, just made my day.

Going from a SERO plan to an everything plus(whick doubled my bill) was the only thing I didn't like about this phone. I love Sprint never gonna leave them.

Now let's just hope they will put me back on SERO from Everything Plus
[EVO 4G General] graydoubt:
Just tried it twice. Both times are got really *****y, irritated CSRs that were getting quite upset that I was asking to get back on the SERO plan.

I had the SERO 500 plan on my Mogul for two years, but since I switched in June and it's been more than 30 days they said they can't even do anything about it.

I'm considering just to keep calling and have them all put notes on my account. Figured I'll wear 'em down eventually.
[EVO 4G General] deekoi:
Quote from sprints website: "SERO Premium rate plans will not be discountable – customers on current SERO plans receiving discounts above and beyond the already discounted SERO rate will lose those discounts when moving to a SERO premium plan. "

You might be able to keep the $20? but the 19% is probably not likely. Unless the rep screws up! Which happened for me when I had my SERO :D
[EVO 4G General] mrjeancw:
so, if i was never on a sero account but want it now how do i get it? or am i screwed?
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
You can't. The only way (if possible) is to buy the plan from someone who is giving it up and they do a TOL (transfer of liability). but I'm not sure Sprint is allowing those anymore.

Even when SERO existed, you couldn't switch from a regular account to a SERO account. You had to be a new customer.
