If you have a live wallpaper, especially the "shake them all!" live wallpaper, your battery life/performance can really be affected. If you've been noticing stuttering in your music player, your web browser closing at random, or other strange events like that, try turning off the live wallpaper...

I know this seems obvious but some people are still going to have an elaborate live wallpaper, yet complaining that they can't surf the web/text/listen to music/download music all at the same time.

[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Was it a drop? A light bump? Did you have any protection on device? Top, bottom, or sides? Pretty useless thread without any details.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Boushh:
Pictures or it didn't happen! :D
[Fascinate General] chronster:
PICS OR GTFO

:D

But seriously, it would be nice to know what caused it so we all know just how fragile these things are. I'm real careful with mine, but if you dropped it while taking a dump or something, I'm investing in some fully body armor...
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
It slipped out of my hands grabbing it off the desk cradle late at night. Hit my roomates fridge, my fridge, and my bed before landing face down on the tile. 5 foot drop. No protection. I use a silicon case to give it some bulk during the day, not at night. Tiny chip... period sized. On the screen.
[Fascinate General] billakid:
another dumb thread....
[Fascinate General] chronster:
That sucks man. I dropped mine the other day getting out of my car, and as it fell to the asphalt it felt like slow motion. Luckly for me there wasn't even a scratch...

It's not dumb to know what these phones can and can't take.

So really, it's your comment that's dumb.
[Fascinate General] Boushh:
It's called GENERAL CHAT. If you don't like GENERAL CHAT then don't come into this sub forum, it's really not that complicated of a concept.

I'm rocking a silicon case on mine right now, makes it a bit more sticky and bigger. I wasn't ever able to use the tiny buttons before, lol.

Exactly, I use my phone a lot in class to surf the web and supplement the lecture. (I'm a geek get over it) I also leave it on vibe. Not only was the vibe incredibily loud plastic on desk or book, but since the back is so slippery it would easy move around and not stay put.

The silicon case let's it grip the surface its on and drastically quiets the vibe noises. It also gives it some bulk which I quite appreciate when carrying it around

Thanks for the details of your unfortunate mishap.

This is why I want an Otterbox. This phone feels so fragile. My Droid was thick and bulky and a tank, but Samsung isn't great with build quality. I love the phone I just need to be careful until I get a case.
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
I want to point out that of this phone didnt have gorilla glass the screen would have been shattered. It might feel cheap but I think thats only because its so light. It can definately take a little bit of a beating.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
It took 4 drops in a drop test. It can take a bit of a beating, but nothing like my Droid could. It's so strange moving to a phone that is so light. If you take off the battery cover the phone is amazingly thin. What really makes it seem weak is that you can tap the screen and feel the vibrator moving.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
You can do that on my eris too. At first I thought there was something wrong with it until I felt others do it too, even the incredible "does"
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Guys these phones are suppose to have gorilla glass. Actually they do. Samsung had a press release a while back saying that all galaxy phones had it. In case u didn't know this **** can take a beating. That had to be a ruff drop
[Fascinate General] broncobiker:
Gorilla glass does not make a phone invincible dude. It is just a lot more damage resistant. Even in *proper* tests they arent showcasing the lack of damage, they are showcasing how little damage it took versus what would have happened to a normal glass screen. I already said above the GG is why im still using my phone now, but what was also stated above is that it took 4 drops to kill it in a drop test, which I can confirm.
[Fascinate General] kamakazman:
Even though I like the concept of though, nearly shatter proof glass (plastic) it's ashame that my eris and blackberry storm, both have scratch proof glass and yet my samsung doesn't. Sure I don't have to worry about breaking my screen, but I never broke either of those screens either, but now I gotta worry about scratches which means back to screen protectors; back to pain in the butt installs!
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Gorilla glass is pretty scratch resistant. I've taken a knife and fork to my Droid's screen and there wasn't a mark...

hey guys, i'v just got my phone back from htc after being repaired and im on with installing all my apps and games but im having a problem with a certain game. its need for speed shift, i cant steer my car due to having some resco products installed. i remember reading a thread on xda of a solution but cant find/remember how to do it. it involved dropping certain files from blah blah blah.........???, i just cant remember :confused:.

if anyone knows the score, please enlighten me, cheers.

ps: i was the person who sussed it was resco photo manager that clashed with the games steering, just thought i'd drop that in...:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] horusgod:
I've done so: installed resco in internal memory, then copied the directory in the storage card, uninstall resco from application manager then with total commander (for example) create a "link to" application in SD without reinstalling. After this nfs works fine :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] donwhann:

cheers buddy, thats exactly what i did last time, just totally forgot :rolleyes:. anyway, thanks for helping out and from stopping me ripping my hair out :D

Howdy Folks,

I sat on my phone this weekend (have had my phone in my back pocket many times) and cracked the glass. Now my touch screen is now non-responsive.

I've been able to find keyboard and trackball work around for every feature on the phone... except for the notification bar.

Does anyone know of an app or keyboard shortcut that will allow me to access the notification bar if i can't swipe it down via the touch screen?

I plan on replacing the phone( or maybe just the screen), but until i can, figuring out a work around would be really nice.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] slinky1914:
Can u go to the home screen, press menu and navigate via trackpad to notifications? It sucks going home all the time to do but it should do the trick till u get a replacement.
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] AggieChris:
Thanks for the reply!

I can't seem to get that to work... If i understand correctly, you just navigate "up" with the trackpad, and it lets you access the notifications? That doesn't seem to work for me :(

However... I have discovered that there is a tiny triangle of screen that still works. So if I let my my screen rotate a full 180.. I've figured out that I can pull down the notifications bar.

Still if anyone has any other suggestions so that I don't have to turn my phone upside down to access notifications... that would be great!

He said to go to the home screen and click the menu button while in home screen... Then Click notifications and the rest is history.

I have the robot voice issue -- I know that it's caused by using the Stock Rom or one that isn't Android friendly. What happened: I took my phone into T-Mobile and flashed the newest leaked stock ROM and planned to switch back to the Miri rom I was using before. Last night I switched back to the old ROM that was working fine but still the robot voice issue remains --

Radio is the same 2.14 (the newest)

Back to old Non-Stock Miri Rom

What else am I missing that would have installed from the official rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Why don't you use the search button? Does it hurt or something like that?

Please use it next time.

Maybe your solution
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zmattmanz:
If I had figured out a solution from a search I wouldn't have posted. Everyone says you need to flash to a non-stock rom -- I have reflashed with the exact same setup as before but with different results. Flashing this rom should have overwritten anything stock -- including the drivers, I believe.

I was editing the .png files of my widget locker to change the bottom lock bar and for some reason i cant get it to reinstall.

-Im using a mac and a Droid2 (unrooted) and these are the steps i took

-got the .apk off my phone

-changed the extension to .zip and unzipped it

-changed the png files that i wanted to change

-compressed it back into a zip file

-changed the extension to .apk, and then attached my phone and stuck it in the downloads folder

-Then when i try to install it it just says 'Parsing error'

Ive installed other modded apps from my downloads folder that i have downloaded from xda, but at the same time im new to modify android but im not toooo bad around a computer. So any help about what i may have skipped or what went wrong would be appreciated.

Thanks

[neoTouch S200 General] dnlylo:
Hi, I just got a S200 and I have a couple of issues. I am wondering if there apps that address the complaints I have or is there a user interface that addresses the problem. :confused:

1. Caller display sucks. When a call comes in I would like it to ID the caller, eg.

Microsoft Canada Corporation, Bill Gates, W.111-222-3333

2. Contacts font is way too big & Bold. No adjustment. Only about 20 characters so will not display name and company along with phone number.

I had used a couple of HTC Touch phones and it had much better UIF

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
Why does Android System and Standby eat more battery juice then the display itself??

Due to the crappy battery life I even opted to turn off network locations... but this phone is still eating up the battery...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -FuRBz-:
i noticed the same thing today, i was reading that the g2 uses network location a lot so that could be the reason, could also be a 3rd party app
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weaseal:
Yes, turn off network location (GPS is OK to leave on; it will only engage when you run maps or related app). network location runs 24/7 and kills your battery FAST.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Network location *should not* run full time. If it IS, then there is a serious bug in the firmware or you are running some program that is constantly asking for it. Network location should only run when something is asking for the location.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swags:
Logcat shows notification activity once per minute. I haven't figured out if this is actually getting a location fix every time or just reading a stored setting, but it's keeping the CPU fairly active during sleep.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
Getting all the same answers...

Just so its clear, Network Locations is OFF.

I just want to know why Android System and Standby use up more power then the display itself!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkadesi:
well if we are strictly talking in terms of LOCATION, than it would make sense to use GPS instead of networks loctions because GPS gives you the EXACT location coordinates, as oppose to network location TRIANGLUATES your location by calculating how far are you from the towers.

KEEP IN MIND: Just because you can turn OFF network locations in the phone doesn't mean its actually off. Federal authorities can have access to your location by remotely turning on the feature and locate you. That's ofcourse if you've been a bad boy (or girl?) but yea... big brother is watching.... :)

for some reason i feel the opposite towards this.

I am glad that they put a hardware chip that can bring the phone back to factory default settings. They probably did this because so many people had bricked their phones with no real way to get them back up and running so they had to send them in.... This way it should eliminate that whole process....

why this is good?

It will be cracked, and will give modders room to store custom roms or clockwork recovery on this... or.....

A MOD CHIP!!!! imagine a small mod chip that could enable or disable the chip. You muck up your phone, hit the switch... go back to factory defaults.

First off it was a pretty good read. Personally I would take this as yet another reason to keep up the awesome work done by the fine programmers here on XDA! Give them something else to "access & modify". ;)

What a whiner. Every day I'm more and more disgusted by some of the people on here. What have you personally done to help HTC aside from maybe buy a phone of theirs? What have they done for you? Oh, they gave you a miracle of modern technology. The ability to have a phone in your pocket which is amazing by itself, forget the fact that it can look up maps, browse the internet, play music and videos, etc.

What about people who don't even have phones?

You're sitting here complaining because of issues rooting a phone which YOU DONT EVEN OWN or intend to buy judging from your comments.

Let me also ask you this: Is the ability to root a phone a feature that is advertised or standard on any devices? Are phone manufactures supposed to be supporting this?
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
wow, you have some issues going on there don't you ;) (Apart from not being able to read)

Pretty much anyone thats posted on here has helped in one way or another, by answering peoples technical queries etc.

Your right, I don't own the phone and I certainly intend NOT to buy one now. I was going to be tempted as I prefer open phones rather than locked down ... but not now. If I'm going to be locked down I may as well get a good one. If your on these boards then you must know that HTC "stock" roms are usualy rubbish. Buy this at your peril.

No it's not an advertised feature but HTC have unofficialy endorsed this site, so they want there cake and eat it?

and what an irrelevant thing to say:

"What about people who don't even have phones?"

Tell ya what, i'll raise ya, what about all the starving people in Africa!

p.s. i've not commited to the Lightning but its certainly the front runner.... unless something else comes out.

Would you be happy if you bought a car and told you you went allowed to mod it or accessorise it? What someone does with their own device is none of anyone elses business INCLUDING the manufacturer and provider.

also, not true. you can't legally install apple OS on non-apple hardware. you can't legally alter an iphone. you can't legally mod your car with NOS or any number of other things.

there are still laws, and company policy to take into consideration. your argument is furthered by the fact that android is open source - but what that REALLY means is that Android can be thrown on any manufacturers phone with no limitations - NOT that any phone that has android HAS no limitations.

I WISH the world allowed us to do whatever we wanted without ourselves and our possessions, but that is simply not the case.
[General Topics] hungry81:
Actually you can. You may not be allowed to take it on public roads, but you can do whatever you want with your car on private property as long as it dosent cause injury or damage to others property or other mischief.

And why should people sit back silently if they dont agree with this? Why should they be able to advertise the good features of the device without anyone mentioning the significant drawbacks?

At the moment You CAN do whatever you want with YOUR posessions as long as it does not cause harm or injury to other persons or property. There is no excuse for treating these devices differently. If you feel that flashing is illegal, I would have to ask what you are doing on XDA?
