[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddspain:
hi all. It's has happened to me a couple of times already. I don't know what I did but suddenly I could see all the screens of the applications menu at once. Just like as if I was editing the home screens.

The thing is...I've been unable to do it on purpose and it's driving me crazy. I'm on jpk. I hope it's a really stupid question and someone will enlighten me soon :)

Forgot to mention: touchwiz.

I purchased launcher pro but I didn't like it that much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi,

If Im not mistaken I believe what you are trying to do is as follows...

Press the menu soft touch button on the phone

Press edit

Now you should be able to see all of your home screens, etc.

Is this what you meant?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddspain:
Hi. Thanks for your reply.

No, that's not what I meant. If you press edit when you are at the home screen you will indeed get a general display of screens as you suggested.

My question is: if you are looking at your applications, (home button-application shortcut). There must be a way of getting to a general display of the screens. Because I've been there twice.

I, for instance have 3 pages of applications and today, when leaving my phone on the table I hit something and there it was, the display you get when editing home screens but with 3 pages of applications shortcuts.

I'm just asking if anyone knows how to activate that display. I guess I'm not really good at explaining myself since english is not my mother tongue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddspain:
I don't know how to edit our if it's possible with taptalk so I'll answer myself.

Murphy's law just became true once again: right after you post you find the solution: just zoom out, neat.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Now i want to know how u did what you did... Lol... Can u explain?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
It's the pinch to zoom feature in the application menu that's on the froyo ROMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Oh... Lol... Thanks. Im still on stock 2.1 so i cant play with the froyoie goodness just yet... Hope the official rom comes out soon...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddspain:
Yup. Pinch to zoom. Useful.
[Droid X General] groovejedi:
Hi guys,

First of all, I would like to thank all of the developers and the people who maintain this board for providing such an amazing educational service for the rest of us. Without this website, I would never have learned how to root and do the fancy things that I can now do on my phone. thank you!!

So last night I rooted (2.2, Droid X) and removed the stock e-mail app by renaming the .apk to .bak. Today I decided that I want it back since I use 2 different e-mail accounts. After renaming the app back to .apk, I now see the E-mail app in my app drawer again. However, when I click on it, it loads a black screen for a half second, then closes. I am running LPP as well. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
[Droid X General] x.v_:
To the best of my knowledge, you should be able to just rename it back (like you said you did, I'm just hinting maybe something got corrupted?).
[Droid X General] groovejedi:
Well, it seems to have suddenly fixed itself, I'm not sure what the issue was. However, it does not behave the way it did before. Prior to rooting, I had the e-mail icon in my dock (LPP) and when I tapped on it, it would load my gmail. Now, it loads the MESSAGING window with Universal Messaging, Facebook and Text Messaging. Sigh. Oh well, I guess I'll have to manage without it.

I been trying to do the launcher pro and desktop visualizer to make a cool homepage like the one stickied but i have no idea how to do it can some1 give me a full step by step how to make my droid homepage like the one stickied. Please!!:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi everyone,

I had seen a thread somewhere that someone mentioned that their battery was loose inside the phone and that the could hear it rattle around but I cannot seem to find that thread now.

I too have this issue. When I shake the phone for example I can hear the battery rattle around inside and when I take off the cover I can move the battery a bit from side to side. Can anyone tell me why this is?

I KNOW this is NOT a fake battery as I watched the store clerk open my box and build my phone from BRAND NEW and I have done the comparison on the batteries as well. It just seems that the hole for my battery is a bit too big orthe battery is a bit too small.

Can anyone tell me what I can or should do about this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yes, i recall that topic as well

so you are not hallucinating :p

no idea where it went

if you do have this issue with the phone + battery, i'll suggest you take it back to bell for an exchange

they should be able to tell quite clearly this is not normal when they compare to the other phones they have
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davanw:
I stuck a business card, cut in half, between the battery and the cover. Seems to have filled the space in just enough to make a tight fit, my battery is no longer loose. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
For now I have wedged a piece of paper between the battery and the hole and it has stopped the battery from moving as well but this should not have to be done I am sure.

@allgamer - I would take it back but I purchased it from Future Shop and the location I bought it has not received any new shipments in since and that was a month ago. The concensus from the Bell Stores here is the same as well stating that they are all on backorder.

I will keep my ears and eyes open on this and when they do have some new stock I will be bringing it to their attention for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajesh26e4u:
Yiann, even i have this problem with my bell i9000. I just found out and was looking if anyone else had this issue. I will take it in when i get a chance and will let you know. Did u get a chance to get it replaced or how did u fix this issue?

Thx

Raj
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Raj,

No I never did get it fixed. Please keep me posted rom what BELL does for you...

Thanks...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajesh26e4u:
ya for sure...so you didnt take it to bell at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
+1 i too have the same issue. piece of folded paper does the trick, but like all the above posts this shouldn't be necessary...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Margaliini:
I have this issue too.. the battery is way too loose. It must be a common manufacture error.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hulkpayne:
Same problem

i also have a loose battery in my gti9000.....even after wedging a piece of folded paper in between the battery and the surrounding loose area and making it fit quite tightly, the phone still makes a rattling noise when it vibrates....though when i hold the phone in my hand, it doesn't make that rattling sound...wondering if it cud be something other than the battery...
[HTC Aria General] FM82:
What kind of battery life are you all having with HTC aria? I might switch to it but want to know exactly how the battery life is with heavy usage of calls and web?
[HTC Aria General] dbrayton1:
Running cm6 and I usually have at least 50% left after a full day. Way better than my iphone 3gs that would be dead by now;)
[HTC Aria General] DougG_ATL:
Battery life is a point of contention for a lot of Android users I know, both advanced and casual. With a typical day of use on my Aria (running CM6), I'm down to around 40 percent by the end of my work day, then have to plug in my car charger during my commute to juice up for the evening. Moving from a BlackBerry Bold 9700 required some adjustment, because that device can go 2-3 of similar usage without requiring a charge.
[HTC Aria General] nrvate:
All depends what you're running... Don't run stuff in the background that prevents idle state and it's all good :)
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
This!

With any Android device, you need to pay attention to whether any applications are preventing the phone from properly sleeping when idle. For example, I found out that the Slacker app would stay running in the background despite telling it to quit (from the program's menu), and it was keeping my phone awake. If I force closed the application, my battery life increased significantly. I'm sure there are other apps out there that have the same problems.

I can say with my current setup (CM6 with only Google apps syncing data, no Twitter/Facebook/etc. allowed to sync in background, wifi and bluetooth disabled), I will be at ~60% battery after 24 hours of standby. But that's a pretty extreme case and most people probably wouldn't get that sort of battery life with normal usage.
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
I'm running liberated rom and can get 2 days on a charge with light usage. More than 1 full day with medium to heavy usage.

Very happy with the battery life from this device.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymop:
When I get a call, the HTC sliding lock comes up to answer the call, I prefer the Vanilla android method of answering calls (as well as lockscreen) so I removed hte HTC lockscreen. Is there anyway to get the Vanilla Android answering tabs on a Sense ROM? I'm using the latest Virtuous Rom.

I'd also prefer to keep the HTC dialer and peopl app. But if the dialer must go inorder to get the answering method I'll drop it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoon0n:
The paid app WidgetLocker may be what you're looking for

http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker

EDIT: On second look, this seems to just modify the lockscreen, not the dialer action. Sorry :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
As far as I am aware this is not possible on a Sense based rom. You would need to use a AOSP rom to use the stock answering slider.
[Droid Incredible General] swk513:
Is it possible to replace the htc contacts app with the 'vanilla' contacts app?
[Droid Incredible General] SR3TLAW:
I remember asking this. I think its built into the Rosie framework, so no. I do however use dialer one and like it alot
[General Questions and Answers] armchairbear:
Just curious.

I guess some developers will have friends test out their roms or kernels. But while they are coding, how do they have some level of confidence of what they are doing if they don't have that exact phone? How do know that what they are doing will not brick a tester's phone?

Side note:

I think the developers here do an amazing job with their roms and kernels. I wish I was capable of doing what they do. I really enjoy trying out new roms and kernels. Thank you to all you developers out there, keeping doing what you're doing.
[XPERIA X10 General] sscdougal:
Not so much a problem rather a mild annoyance but when i receive a message the notification tune can take forever to stop. Ive even sent a reply before it even stops.

Im currently running adw launcher and handscent message app wit a full mp3 for the notification tune.

Ne ideas on why this is happening and how i can stop it. It can be a real nuisance sumtimes especially when at work and ma phone wont shut up
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
I think the problem is you have a full song as your ringtone... ;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] sscdougal:
I have had full mp3 ringtones on all the capable phones ive had and they all stopped when i started reading the message
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
Just trim it like you should...
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
But have you had an Android phone? Plus, you're using a third party app to handle SMS... that's probably why. The phone will shut up (almost every time) if you press the volume buttons/camera button during a notification.

If You Can't Figure Out How To Get Data, Message Me And I Will Do It For You. A Tip Would Be Appreciated But Not Required.

These rom's are meant for people who are on MetroPCS. Please don't use them if your sprint or anyone else. These roms have everything working from boot and should keep on working for aslong as you have your phone =D. I've made a couple different flavors of roms. Default HTC Sense, AOSP CyanogenMOD, and MIUI. Try whichever you like =D.

Here is a Completely Detailed How To on how to Provision your phone for data and mms.

MetroPCS Data and MMS Provisioning Guide

Instructions For MetroDroid

1. Copy Zip to SD

2. Boot Into Recovery

3. Flash MetroDroid

4. Reboot

5. Enjoy! =D

Rom will Wipe DATA and SYSTEM so if u have anything you need from your current apps be sure to back it up =P

Instructions for MIUI or AOSP Scripts

1. Copy Zip to SD

2. Boot Into Recovery

3. Flash the Script

4. Reboot

5. Enjoy! =D

DOWNLOADS

ROMS

MetroDroid v4.0

Scripts

MetroPCS Evo Sense 4.67 Based MMS Script v1

MetroPCS Sense 2.1/3.0 Hybrids MMS & Web Script v5

MetroPCS Evo AOSP Script v8

MetroPCS Evo ICS Script v2

MetroPCS Evo MIUI MMS Script v5

MetroPCS Evo Sense 3.0 v2

MetroPCS Evo TN RLS 5.4

MetroPCS Evo Sense 3.5 v1

Might have to reboot twice for MMS app to show up

Also if your Youtube isnt working on MetroDroid do this

Have wifi on even if your not connected and then don't this and wifi will work

dial ##3282#

edit mode

enter 000000 (or w/e your msl or spc is)

goto advanced

scroll to rtsp proxy address and http pd proxy address and change them to 0.0.0.0

hit back twice and now try YouTube. Then while on data be sure to have wifi on even if its not connected to anything and YouTube should work

I would like to thank

Chris1683 - For His Sprint Lovers Rom as a base

Bcnice20 - For letting me use the MIUI Rom for MetroPCS users and for the Galaxy S Keyboard

Netarchy - For his awesome kernel

Deathsled - For his Cricket Rom as reference

12MaNy - For His Bootanimation

[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
this is probably not the kind of post you want on your thread, but can you share the settings you used to get "everything" working?

right now i can receive MMS (with wifi off) but can't send out. K9 mail receives and sends email only over wifi. everything else (market, facebook, web, texts, etc) work on data network.

i have way too much put into this rom to consider flashing for a while, that's why i'm not flashing yours.

a reply here or via private message would be great!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
well if you use dsixda's kitchen first thing you want to do is go to advanced options and add use option 17. then go into /system/etc/ and make a folder called init.d then unzip my rom and copy the 08metropcs in the same location and rename it to 01metropcs and place it in your init.d folder that will give data automatically also go into the bin and copy u2nl and then go into xbin and copy sqllite3 and place it in their respective folders. Now to get the mms app to default to having 500k max message settings go into /system/customize/MNS/ and copy default.xml and place it in the respective folder if your using the latest OTA as a base just use these files from my /system/app folder and put them in yours

htcMessageUploader.apk, MediaProvider.apk, MediaUploader.apk, Mms.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, UploadProvider.apk,

VVM.apk, WifiRouter.apk

and that should let your mms work fine in the default app

and thats about it i think

well actually one more thing but it actually depends on the rom your using as a base
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
also depending on the email i get a few to work for gmail it works fine on 1x, yahoo mail with the yahoo mail app from market lets it work fine, hotmail is the only one i havent gotten to work yet but you could just go online for that i guess
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
doing it right now... lets see how it goes...
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
I just installed it and i don't have WEB or MMS plus my network still searching...

what could be that problem?....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
have your setup your phone correctly? cuz if not data nor mms will never work im using it on my phone and it works just fine on first boot

plus your phone has to be on metropcs cant be on sprint. a rom wont make your phone to metropcs unless your phone is in their database
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
i still got no signal it says ANALOG B...

I think im....

If you have MSN or Yahoo messenger pls let me know.. so you can explained detail by detail...

I will rlly appreciated...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
Ok first is your phone on MetroPCS or is it on Sprint? Also if it is on MetroPCS has your phone setup correctly?
[EVO 4G Android Development] majestic999:
My phone its under metropcs network....

Setup correctly you mean?... now that signal came back...

& i keep getting this error...

DATA CALL FAILURE

Error code 67. registration failure. Your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again...

mmmmmm What i need to do to fix that... :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodykiller86:
yea your getting that because your phone is not programmed correctly and if you dont have any experience in this it will prob be hard for you. Im going to right up a guide in a few days to help people out with this so for now you just have to live without mms and web. you should still recieve phone calls and regular messages but til you program the phone correctly you wont have mms or web

Whn it attempts to connect to web and mms all I receive is error 67 also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

when u look under messages/settings/multimedia messages (mms)/connection settings.............. this is ur mms settings for metropcs, there set to sprint,..the roms are sprints.... except metrodroid...

the script doesnt change these settings, after restoring the apn file, everything works...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mteezey:
My last post was messed up ill upload 4.54 v1.5 and v1.0 later they are still on PC. Has anyone tried the combo of the 3.0 script Diaz has then flashing the script for your from. That worked for me. It was an experiment that paid off on kings and SOS.
