Well, actually there are a lot of benefits to having the lock screen.

- You could turn up your ringer in a situation where you need to have it on silent.

- Quickly control music without draining battery by going to the actual music app.

- Seeing what type of notifications you get without pulling out the entire UI.

There are added benefits to disabling the lock screen, but you will probably encounter enough problems to make it not worth it.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
true, I hadn't considered the music aspect
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
How about the fact that it's a secuirty mechanism?
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
No need for it. It was one of the first things I disabled.

Here's why:

-Accidentally messing it in your pocket somehow? Even if you manage to hit the power button and make it come on, it won't do anything as the screen is activated through electricity of your fingers. That's how it works. Nothing in your pocket can make it do ANYTHING, even if its on. If you REACH in your pocket and its on, then yes, you can hit something.

-Music app. SUPER easy to switch music when you have no lock screen. Simply Hit power button and swipe away anywhere on teh screen to change a song. VERY VERY useful while driving and u can't afford to look at the screen.

-Easier to respond to texts. You don't need to unlock it to do stuff now. MUCH simplifies everything but notifications are especially convinient to deal with.

-ACTUALLY saves battery. Try it. No lock screen will net you NO loss in battery life and is likely to increase it as you won't go through a locking screen every time. You quickly develop a habit of turning it off by the power key when ur done with something and turning it back on when you need it. It's instant, quick, and saves on juice.

I don't know of a SINGLE reason to keep a lock screen except for aesthetics or if you want to prevent people using your phone (in which case its a passworded lockscreen). Those are the only 2 reasons really. . .
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
how about to check out the time, see missed calls or texts easily because sometime the notification bar is full of notifications, and it is a great way to check the time without people seeing what you have been using in your phone and also it turns off fast so you dont have to press the power button twice.

I wouldn't take it off only because I see more advantages than disadvantages.

Just my two cents.
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
Better not lose your phones. No lock makes it that much easier to grab your data, regardless if you report it and the phone becomes a brick. Think of all that stuff the person who found it would be able to do. Get a list of your contacts, find the last few places you visited, make calls, etc... An exposed phone would be an identity theives dream.

And just think... you could slow them down with a simple pattern lock. Ignorant not to use that layer.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
The security feature is pretty meaningless to me. I'm not ultra scared of someone finding my phone and having my friends and my weed dealers phone numbers.
[Vibrant General] thenotoriouspie:
Lol @ TC

This thread is so pointless
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
Okay. Would you mind posting a copy of your contacts in this thread? Most likely not, unless of course you have zero respect for your contacts information, in which case you should let your friends know how wreckless you are being with their data.

The point is, you may not lose this phone or your next or the one after that. It is a fact that unless you take ownership of your information, you put yourself at risk of making details you consider private, public.
[Vibrant General] ipugh:
One word:

Children.

Without a lock screen, my kids would have done things to my phone that I can not even imagine. lol
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
Not entirely pointless. It provided a chance for you to be a prick :)
[Vibrant General] jjones1983:
And for you a chance to come off as a complete moron. I guess not all is lost, eh?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Well, different strokes for different folks. I'm rarely ever more than 5 feet away from phone, so I don't worry too much about the security aspect. I do turn it on if I'm going out to a bar or club or something, but otherwise the lock screen just slows me down.
[Vibrant General] Netphase:
..... or just don't let your kids use your phone as a toy. The lock screen doesn't keep it from going in the toilet if the kid is very young. ;)
[Vibrant General] MV10:
The lock screen strikes me as feature-creep.

NoLock was the first non-rooting-related thing I installed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juergen-fett:
I have problems with different USB cables for charging my x10 phone.

With the original cable is the phone charging on the USB port from my PC but when I use a other cable (from my camera) it doesn’t charge my phone?

I have no differences seen on the both mini USB connector!

What is here the reason of no charging?

Jürgen
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPIDERTECH:
There is in fact a difference. Just because the connector is the same doesn't mean the contacts in the connector are the same. If you use a micro usb cable or mini to usb adapter you would buy at a store, that should work. That's why if you were to look at the iGo power adapter tips, one for a motorola (mini usb) will not power a blackberry. They have the same tip, but the wiring is different.

[Vibrant General] Vegastouch:
No and they said every Vibrant owner would have it by the end of the month. Hopefully we will get it soon.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
with Bionix 1.6 kicking so much ass and making the gps perfect I don't see a reason for caring about the OTA
[Vibrant General] nearblack:
lol too true.

I personally don't give a **** about any OTAs until froyo.

But yeah, nothing here in Seattle.
[Vibrant General] m4r10:
oh! I thought I had seen it was in the next 24-48 hours.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
OTA's are staged out in batches, not all at once. T-Mobile has sold about a million of these phones at this point (given that Samsung claims 3 million SGS Phones sold in the U.S. this is entirely likely). They are most definitely NOT going to update a million phones at the same time.

The update for YOU could come now, tomorrow, next week, or before the end of the month. Sitting here in a thread hitting refresh hoping for vital info about the OTA is a complete waste of time.

You have four options...

1). Wait for the OTA, which will arrive whenever it arrives

2). Frankin Twiz, built on JI6

3). Bionix 1.6, built on JI6

4). leaked unmodified JI6 firmware

Options 2,3,4 will get you JI6 today, with the associated risks of taking the management of the update into your hands. Option 1 is the official option which requires nothing but patience. Decide. :)
[Vibrant General] chui101:
Wonder if I could call T-mobile and naively ask about a GPS problem and see if they will go ahead and push JI6 to me?
[Vibrant General] vitalik228:
Nope nothing in WA I sure hope I won't have to wait til the end of the month....
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Already tried and they said no.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
I was waiting today but then I flashed Bionix and that will hold me off until Froyo.

[Vibrant General] wildklymr:
Ha! You think customer care or tech care have that much power? The people in tmo who do, ssg data, don't take any calls and if they want to, never actually have to talk to the customer at all. They work solely on trouble tickets and work orders. The highest you may get by calling tech is atsg, the people who submit trouble tickets to them.
[Vibrant General] Acid_Wir3:
Abandoning all hope!!! Tununu nunu TING bionix 1.6 installed

[Vibrant General] MaxZach:
Got mine today but now my phone maybe bricked. Left it alone after it downloaded and installed the update but it won't go pass the loading stage. Now I'm trying to unbrick it. :(
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
What exactly happened? And what was your setup before trying to install the update?
[Vibrant General] mentalex2:
Did you have lagfix installed? That could be the problem.

On another note, why are so many people waiting patiently for the OTA? Just flash one of the leaks. Bionix 1.6 is well worth it! And you can always ODIN back to stock!
[Vibrant General] PepeLasNoches:
It looks like it bricked my GF's phone also, now im sitting here trying to wipe it. Hers is all stock except it is rooted, no ROMs or lag fixes etc.
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
I got off the phone with tech support at T Mobile a few hours ago and here is what they related to me. Your inability to get checkin succeeded may or may not be usual or normal, they have no clue and the OTA is scheduled to run from 10-7 thru 10-31. has anyone else or does anyone else have the same inability to get feedback from the checkin code? This is the only phone I have had that the checkin failed to register except for a MT3g which they promptly replaced.
[Vibrant General] ekim213:

[Vibrant General] zosorox:
Yes that is what he meant, they started sending out yesterday and the OTA continues through the end of the month.
[Vibrant General] miclflores:
Just got a notification on my phone that an update is available. However I was not expecting this since I'm running Bionix 1.4 with the jac oc/uv 1.1 kernel flashed on top of that (unless it didn't work and the stock kernel is there). I don't use a lag fix, don't find it necessary plus it can be risky. Anyway, 1.4 works great even GPS is pretty good. If I do accept this update will it update to the stock kernel and remove my root? Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomMOJO:
Hey guys and gals,

This is my first post and i need some help. Here's the story.

I rooted my phone a few weeks ago, everything went stunningly easy, and worked great. Clockworkmod recovery was installed (by unrevoked) at this time. While driving home I broke my phone's screen and had to get a replacement phone. Asurion had a phone to me within 18 hours (my word they're fast). I slapped the 16GB SD card from my first phone in and I was off and running.

So I have my new phone with my original 16GB SD card and set it up normally again. I wanted to wait a bit and get it set prior to rooting again. Tonight I rooted the phone with Unrevoked 3.21 as I did before. It went much faster than before. I now have S-Off but clockworkmod recovery is not on my hboot screen and recovery mode doesn't work at all. Just a black screen for about 15 seconds before loading into the OS.

Have I screwed up a one click root? I've tried a few things.

I used droid-life as a guide to help me root.

Phone Stats:

Droid Incredible

Asurion replacement

OS 2.2

radio 2.15.00.07.28

kernel 2.6.32.15-gb7b01d1

build 3.21.605.1 CL231334 release-keys

Although clockworkmod recovery isn't in Hboot the reflash tool still says "Recovery Image: ClockworkMod Recovery" on the bottom. I have tried renaming the clockworkmod folder on the SD card to see if it would create a new one, or boot into clockworkmod recovery after realizing the folder is not there.

I have also tried formatting my SD card and running the reflash tool again. Again no dice, no recovery mode.

I have tried unrevoked 3.21 after every change.

What have I done? what do I do? any suggestions?

Thanks for anybody and everybody's input. I appreciate it. I would like to start flashing roms but really dont want to mess with it if I dont have a recovery option.

-MOJO
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Is it a complete download of the unrevoked tool? Sounds almost like the recovery package isn't there. Try redownloading unrevoked and run it again. Do you have root and Superuser app at least? If so, try downloading and running ROM Manager and tell it to flash Clockwork again. Still no dice, try telling it to flash RA recovery. And for the record, which screen do you have?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomMOJO:
I wish I knew

thanks for the quick reply I will try that. Yes I have root and the superuser app.

I dont know how to tell which screen I have, but I was wondering the same thing. BoyGeniusReport says its incredibly hard to tell the difference and I haven't found were it says SLED vs AMOLED
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomMOJO:
Grrrr

Downloaded unrevoked 3.21 straight from unrevoked twice.

Tried the reflashing clockworkmod recovery, no dice.

Whats an RA recovery?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
It's an alternate recovery. Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758874

It's also the second to the last option in ROM Manager. Flash Alternate Recovery: RA_GNM Recovery v1.7.6

I actually like that one better. It was able to format my SD card correctly. I just miss the integration with ROM Manager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomMOJO:
Phew... It worked.

the alternate recovery worked.

now if I want to flash ROMs do I need to know anything in particular before doing so with the AMON_RA recovery tool.

I downloaded the a4d utility that I found when doing a search for AMON_RA on appbrain. It asks if I want to flash my phone to unlock my bootloader (and void my warranty, haha).

do I need to unlock my bootloader before flashing ROM's

I like the sense UI. thats all I have actually used. Is there anything better? what are suggested, STABLE, ROMs/kernels for the DInc? or should I stay "stock 2.2 rooted"?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
Uncommon sense with king kernel bfs # 5 is as good or better than stock.

Btw. Hboot only shows recovery, not clockwork recovery. Did you ever try selecting recovery from hboot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomMOJO:
and still has all the capabilities of stock 2.2 (GPS, WIFI Tether, etc), I know that was a problem at one point. I assume/hope all has been fixed with those issues.

With flashing ROMs. do Custom ROM's have the bloatwear (CityID) removed?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
Uncommon sense has some of it removed. Some of it you can remove yourself. It's the only rom I've donated to and had on my phone more than two days.

Just be careful if removing stuff. Some of it has other dependencies. There are guides on how to remove things safely without breaking other functionality.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
Also do a backup first. I'm not sure how amon ra works, but it must be in there somewhere.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
I used to use Virtuous 3.0.1, but I've switched over to Redemption ROM 2.0.5

It is. In the main menu, just like Clockwork
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomMOJO:
So I definitely have recovery with the amon_RA 1.7.6 alternative recovery with the ROM manager. but from what I have read I can no longer use ROM manager to flash.

Now I have been searching for information/instructions on how to use AMON_RA but have come up short, at least recently written stuff. I can find a ton of information about clockworkmod which I assume is because of Unrevoked 3.21.

PonsAsinorem as you said you miss the integration of ROM manager. I really want to use ROM manager.

I read somewhere in XDA that people were having trouble using clockworkmod and ROM manager and it could be because of a corrupted cache. there were some LIMITED instructions about using ADB to fix it but I wasn't completely understanding them.

I think my problem is spawning from using my old SD card and maybe a corrupted cache. I have made a back up using Amon_RA (actually two).

Does anyone think that completely formatting my SD card (after moving my backups to my MAC) and factory restoring my phone. then reflashed using unrevoked 3.21, or reflashed clockworkmod recovery using rom manager would work to solve my problem with clockworkmod recovery?

I would have backups if it didn't work. I would just have to restore the Amon_RA backup if I screwed anything up or wanted my SD card back... Right?

Thanks for all the help so far.

[HD2 General] appoos:
Hi all

I have bought HTC HD2 mobile some 5 months back..and it works fine..

My sister bought Samsung Monte phone last month and I was surprised to see some of its features..

She can unlock the homescreen with swyping some special characters/alphabets on screen..Is there any software by which we can do the screen unlocking on HD2 with alphabets?

other swyping features in her phone:

1) swyping 'M' will directly take us to SMS

2) swyping 'L' will directly take us to call logs

3) swyping 'C' will directly take us to camera

4) swyping 'S' will directly take us to speed dial

Is there any similar software/application available for HTC HD2?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andras_m:
I can speak only for myself, but what I'm telling now i think is 99% accepted.

However I can not take any responsibility for your actions.

1. Usually it's safe to try any custom ROM with will NOT put your security on ON.

2. I only had problems with Rogers stock ROM which did not flashed correctly even if it said it did.

3. If you have S-OFF, you can recover your phone most of the cases if it boots into fastboot.

4. However, if you get S-ON, you can recover your phone with goldcard if you have a higher version of the ROM (I don't recommend you to get there)

5. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE HBOOT - RADIO PAIR YOU FLASH. IT CAN GIVE YOU SERIOUS HEADACHES. Search which pairs are compatible

6. READ CAREFULLY, BUT CAREFULLY EVERY TUTORIAL BEFORE STARTING TO DO ANYTHING

7. AH. DON'T EVER BE IN A HURRY WHEN FLASHING CUSTOM ROMS AND BE SURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED

8. The rest is history and, as always, GOOGLE is your friend

Good luck.

[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I'm having some trouble restoring backups. I recently reflashed my phone. All backups were verified. I have used the help button and redownloaded busybox. I have rooted my phone and given root privileges to TiB. I have usb debugging mode enabled too. When I batch restore, the batch completes as if there wasn't a problem, but none of the apps are installed. I thought that there might be something wrong with the backups even though they passed verification so I moved them off of the sd card. I downloaded some random apps from the market and backed them up. They won't restore either. Same error. I tried restoring my phone to stock and going through the same steps and I have the same problem. I've used TiB for awhile now and haven't had any problems up until now. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
happened to me once.

reinstall from the matket of TIBU fixxed everything.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
The first debloat guide posted for the captivate falsely stated that TiB restored the app

When I was attempting to revert to stock firmware for the recent OTA I discovered that TiB only saves the app's state and not the app itself

I think all of the original APKs are listed on the cognition download page
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I got it fixed. I tried reinstalling TiB from the market. It didn't work. I was trying 3rd party apps. Not ones cooked into the rom. I ended up having to do a master clear with odin. It's kind of a brute force method, but at least its working again.
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
Back when the pimp my captivate was written, TB was not able to restore what it backed up. It does now. I reverted back to stock after the OTA update and since I was in the "try to break my phone mood" I went ahead and did the Cognition 2.1.6. Right before I started messing with the phone, I backed up everything and anything that TB would allow me to, did a nandroid as well. WHen the time to restore came, everything I had before is right back where it was before I started. Albeit reading all the oops, TB can't restore jack, yadda yadda I wasn't too worried.
[Captivate General] hale88:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] depakjan:
Does the kernal act different on different Hd2's???

Whenever i use N1 kernal i have this Touch screen freeze and Gsensor problem, it's like this, it works perfectly fine, all of a sudden touchscreen freezes for say 10 secs and at that time Gsensor stops working and again goes back to normal...

With EVO Kernal.. i still got this issue but at a level which is not usually notable, which becomes an issue only while playing games, but still issue persists for sure.

My question here is, many in this forum say they have 100% Gsensor working, how is that possible i have tried many Wm Roms and radio rom combination, i just couldn't get rid of the above problems, in that case how come some of them alone have 100% working android builds?

So does the kernal work best in one HD2 and bad in another.. is it even a valid conclusion?? or the ones who say 100% working are just bluffing or they did not test it properly??

i just wanted to confirm that the Gsensor and touchscreen bug is universal and not in specific phones,.. help me sort out this issue ...

Also it would be helpfull if any of the kernal developers confirm whether it's a known issue or it's only my device .. most of the cooks mention Gsensor and touchscreen as WORKING...
