Maps should have this by default why will a person on earth like to lock its screen when he using gps assisted maps . :@:@:@

Anyone with a solution?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Adjust the screen timeout when using it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joelbit:
The answer for your problem is "Screen Mode Widget Lite". With the widget on your homescreen you easily change mode with a "tap" and get the screen to stay on.

hi there. i bought a 2nd hand htc hero yesterday and it is rooted. i can connect to the wifi but once i start browsing, i cant browse, webpage unavailable. when i try market. sometimes i connect sometimes i cant. but most of the time i cant.. i access the 4636 and saw

ping ippdr: unknown "sometimes unreachable"

ping hostname(google.com): unknown

http client test: unknown "sometimes IOException"

im on rom fusion. what should i do? should i flash other radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asalus:
can anyone help me? i cant get my hero wifi to work. i can connect to the wifi but i cant send dat over the internet
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mach2005:
Try resetting your router and try again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asalus:
i tried other wifi spots but still i got same results.. what seems to be the problem? do u think its hardware issues? i can detect all the wifi connections available but once i got connected, i cant browse or use the market. is it hardware?

also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ampicillin:
i think best way is to flash another ROM .. Wipe everything before you flash & see it it works otherwise flash Radio if you not having latest one Radio for Hero GSM Then i think VillainROM Guys are having you can check their forums ..and try that :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asalus:
i think i have issues with my wifi at home.. because when i try public wifi's i can connect to some but i also cant to some free wifi. which is weird. i have a wildfire before and this was not an issue for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saj222:
Last year I had a similar problem that I fixed by assigning my hero a static ip address. For some reason dhcp did not work.

Strangely enough I don't have that problem anymore.

Back then I had stock 1.5 OS. Now I have every ROM. Well, you know what I mean.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asalus:
i tried doing that but still i get connected, the router gives me an ip but when i start browsing, the wifi drops then reconnects, i dunno what to do anymore its really frustrating
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saj222:
This could very well be an issue with your router firmware. Some routers are just plain ****ty.

Can you maintain a connection without any encryption (WEP,WPA,WPA2,etc)?
[Captivate General] jd1peters:
I have flashed to froyo and now back to stock. Question is both times I flashed some of my info on the sd card was still there i.e. movies, and music. Isn't it supposed to clear out everything? My apps and contacts were gone. The reason I am wondering is now (past 4 days) since flashing back to stock the phone has been dropping Wi-Fi in my house after sitting for a period of time (about 15 min) when I pick the phone up it shows that it uploading and downloading on 3g. Then when I unlock the phone it picks up my Wi-Fi immediately. Maybe it left some files behind? Also I received a text message about an update but after download it fails at 50% every time. I have also tried a manual update with the same results. Any ideas? I might send the phone back and get it replaced. I am still within my 30 days. It really makes me mad about dropping Wi-Fi when idling. Over the last 4 days my data use has been outrageous. I have the lowest plan because I am always around a Wi-Fi connection. Plus my GPS won’t lock at all. I was going to try and get lucky with another phone. I am using Odin to flash. When I do a master clear in Odin nothing happens. If I just click start it flashes fine. Would it be ok to send it back in its current state? This is what my phone info reads.

[Captivate General] metalmansam:
To fix your wifi problem go into your wifi settings & hit the menue button & select advanced & set your wifi sleep policy to never (remember to turn off wifi when your done or you'll get horrible battery life) & as for the other stuff your in the same boat as all of us still waiting for a update that will actually fix gps don't worry about JH7 it doesn't fix anything & just causes more problems. & reflashing doesn't always wipe the /sdcard partition this is a good thing. & shouldn't be causing you any problems. Just wait for the official froyo or use a better 2.1 rom like cognition with unhelpful's oc kernel for now. If your going to stay with att then this is as good as it's gona get for a while.
[Captivate General] jd1peters:
Updates 50%

Thanks for the help! I didn't even know there was a sleep setting. Do you have any ideas why my updates are getting to 50% on the boot screen then failing?
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
When flashing with one click Odin, I would recommend to use the Master Clear before doing the rom flash. To Master clear, put the phone in USB debugging mode and connect. Odin should see the phone as a com port. Just remember to backup anything you want saved first. This is like doing a factory reset, it wipes all your info which may be causing your troubles.

Vanlon Orange Juice v1a​

I made this because I wasn't quite impressed with the light blue of the AuraxTSense 7.8 buttons. Kick Ass ROM just not so big on the baby blue.

This Theme is just one quick zip file to flash. Changes all the bars, buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, etc...

This Theme works great on AuraxTSense 7.8.1 (cuz that's what I'm rollin' with) all other ROMs it will completely brick your phone and render it unrecoverable. (I base this on nothing)

Really hope someone enjoys it cuz this was a long and tedious exercise.

Use the Device Info app from Curve Fish.

The Settings->About Phone option will only tell you the first few numbers of the kernel version.

I'm using JAC's OCUV Voodoo kernel and the Curv Fish app shows the full kernel name and version date.

[Captivate General] theturtle90:
hey guys,

bought my samsung captivate two days ago and i love it. from reading all the posts about how rooting is awesome i finally took the plunge and rooted my phone with the one click root program. followed the directions to the teeth, everything went fine. even went as far as downloading clockwork and backing up my rom.

few hours later, im totally blown that i rooted my phone. i realized i threw away my warranty.

is there ANY way to unroot the phone and make it totally stock and make it seem like the phone was never altered? i read some answers of "yeah" and some answers of "once your rooted, you can't get back" (i remember reading about an article about how some android phones like the nexus one, once you root theres no going back period). the program i used had a unroot button but im not sure if that would wipe everything away to factory settings and erase all traces of the root.

i know im effing stupid for not thinking it threw. but hey, its good that i came to my senses before i loaded up an os.

to be clear, my phone is just rooted. nothing else. im not running cognitive rom or anything. its running the stock samsung 2.1.

so can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me solve this problem?

im a total noob when it comes to android.

it took me 20 minutes doing that one click from reading the directions over and over again lol.

i need some step by step directions for stupid people :(
[Captivate General] theturtle90:
okay, so i followed the directions to unroot. the programs that were installed when i rooted seemed to have disappear. to be extra sure, i reformatted my sd card and than factory restored the phone (from settings/privacy). quick question though, after i pressed "factory reset" my phone rebooted and than for a quick second i saw the same screen i saw when i rooted (the black screen with the yellow font? looked like a system command prompt i guess). it came on for a sec and than disappeared and it booted regularly. did that happen because i did a factory reset or did that happen because im still rooted?

wtf is wrong with me. i just want my unrooted captivate back (and my warranty lol)
[Captivate General] orlandoxpolice:
odin to stock with master clear.
[Captivate General] vietn95:
There's a thread under android development something with "stock rom" that should restore your phone back to factory.
[Captivate General] metalmansam:
If you did all of that then you are definitely back to stock now & theres no way of detecting your phone was rooted. You could of gotten away with just using one click to unroot. Thats all I did when I returned mine after a week because my gps never worked at all. I dont think they even did anything to check if it was rooted or anything. Hows your gps on the new one by the way? Mines still bad but at least it sees some satellites now. My old one had a hardware problem where gps wouldn't do anything at all.
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
When you use odin to flash back to stock does that restore the AT&T bloatware as well? Or should I use TiB when I first get the phone to get the bloatware back on?

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate General] Verysafety:
After trying to exchange my phone for another phone (thinking the GPS is a hardware issue) I had rooted and flashed a custom rom. I reverted back using ODIN master clear and ODIN 2.1 rom (Which puts bloatware and everything on it) and there's no way to detect it. The only time it will truly void your warranty (I believe) if you go into the store with a custom rom or if you go into the store with a bricked phone and they figure out you were modifying your phone.
[Captivate General] theturtle90:
thanks for the answers guys! why is it that you cant "unroot" a nexus one? i heard they'll always be able to tell if your rooted once you do it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RinTinTigger:
Hey folks,

im just asking if anyone yet tried a port of windows mobile 6.5.xx or Phone 7 onto our Nexus?

Tig
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
No point in windows 6.5 that is a downgrade but seven might be worth it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RinTinTigger:
Well also meego , ubuntu, or windows 98 have been kinda ported, its not that i want it 4 daily Use, but because we can!

Phone 7 might be worth a port though...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Answered something like a thousand times.

It's a closed OS, with proprietary sources. If there will be a phone very similar in specs to Nexus, which will be running this OS - there might be a port. If not - then there won't be.

I don't believe anyone with skills to port WinMo 6.5 from HD2 would waste his time doing it.

I don't think anyone is interested in this, since nexus owner aren't that many..and I think the majority of nexus owners are kind of android fanboys...

I like the fact that WP7 is very polished compared to android. Hope it gets ported!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Not likely to happen. MS lawyers will have a c and d on the developer, any involved websites, etc in about two seconds. Think apple stype policing of what is entirely closed source and you can bet your ass heavily defended by flocks of attorney who are paid out of one of the biggest war chests in corporate history. The way is going to be to get a windows phone with an android brother and dual boot. That will likely happen.

Android can be polished you just have to theme it a bit. At first it seems very cruel and industrial to me.

I would try it definitely, it doesn't matter if my laptop came with macOS I also tried Ubuntu, Fedora and I have windows7 on it aswell. If I have the hardware why should I only use it with only one software?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtucker:
I remember the dark dark days of old when all I had was a WinMo phone... The hardware was under-powered, the OS was full of bugs, there were few apps available... It's not a part of my life I like to think about, nor would I want to re-live now with version 7. Read the early reviews of WinMo7, hopefully you will realize that it's not somewhere you want to go.

With that said, I'm sure someone will pull off a port at some point if for no other reason than as a proof-of-concept.

Personally I'm going to spend my time trying to make the camera functional in either the SenseHD, or myTouch4G ROM ( both from the mighty eViL )
[Fascinate General] aidman:
Alright, so i sat down and did my first ROM flash (the clean update based off the DI01), then immediately downloaded ROM manager, and flashed the voodoo v0.2 with stock clock and voltage. Now every time I plug in the USB cable, I get the "battery is not connected" error. I have tried:

turning off phone, unplugging cable, pulling batt. then turning on, then plugging in cable

unplugging cable, pulling batt. while on, putting batt. in, turning on, then plugging in cable

... and every other possible configuration. I have left the battery out for 10 minutes now, and still no luck when I put it in.

suggestions?

EDIT:

waited a while longer, and it randomly worked. mods, feel welcome to delete this thread
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
It's been known to be related to phone being too hot. ;)
[Fascinate General] solizzang:
hey..

That's what exactly what happened to me, so i actually flashed back to the stock rom

through the odin and wipe everything and started all over man..

I don't know..

Something is gotta be wrong with Voodoo kernel..

But in this way, i fixed it..

So i think im gonna stick with the lagfix for now..

and i guess when Dev comes out a different fixed verison, i'll take it again..

Good luck man
[Fascinate General] aidman:
My phone was running at a fine temp to the touch, and I think the Battstat widget said it was at 30c, which should be fine. I think today i will flash over to a 1.1 or 1.2 Ghz voodoo kernel
[Fascinate General] spaciorek:
Aidman...try this unplug the usb cord and shutdown pull the battery , then replace battery fire it up and charge....

post back results....
[Fascinate General] SnrSuave:
Voodoo busted my phone too. I could get the battery disconnected message to go away if I took the battery out and let it sit for a few minutes, but then it would come back later. It's a pain in the ass getting the message every time I try to charge my phone. Went back to stock until a fix can be found. My battery is nowhere near being hot when this happens, and I have only seen the message when using voodoo. I think I'll just wait for a later release. Too buggy for now...
[Fascinate General] aidman:
Alright: for those of you who never read the full first post: THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, thanks for everyone who decided to chip in. I had to try the battery pull about 10 times before it worked

Edit: I feel like an asshole after rereading my own post. I am sincerely sorry for my incredible stupidity.
[Fascinate General] SnrSuave:
I did read your post and understand the the problem wa solved for you, but not for me. I wanted to include my experience in case others are having the same issue. I was unable to fix the problem.
[Fascinate General] tats_06:
Not a lot of people get that error. I never did. And it never appeared either.
[Fascinate General] CrushD:
I had this issue too with the "no battery" indicator, and so did another individual in the lagfix release thread. No our phones were not hot, my own battery was nowhere near being hot, and we tried battery pulls, but that never worked. What worked for me was reflashing the voodoo 0.2 kernel on top of itself, the other guy tried that and had success with that too. You may give that a try, but I must say, that was only a temporary fix because after a while I got that annoying message back again.

I seem to have gotten rid of it for good, backed up all my apps in titanium, re-removed voodoo (be sure to get rid of "remove_lagfix" file when it's no longer needed), did a factory wipe, reflashed the stock Odin Kernel, did another factory wipe for the heck of it, then applied Voodoo, then reinstalled my data + app data using titanium backup (keep in mind I never wiped, restored, or returned system back to stock). Been running for a while, and I have yet to have the "no battery" annoyance and to be honest my phone boots quicker. So up to you, worked for me if you wanna give it a try.
[Fascinate General] mAlfunkti0n:
Just wanted to update this thread. I have noticed that after flashing the voodoo kernel I too am getting the battery not connected error. However, I ONLY get this error when I have the usb cable plugged in when shutting down and starting back up again. If there is no usb cable plugged in when powering the device on, I have no problems with battery errors.
[Fascinate General] Jodiuh:
2 things stick out for me...

1. I had USB debugging on when doing the fix.

2. I removed the battery to go into initial Odin flash...PDA, etc.

The guide said my phone would reboot on its own, but it just sat at a blank screen. I had to unplug the cord and turn the power on. So do we have a fix for this yet?
[Fascinate General] neyenlives:
i know earlier today my battery reading according tot he widget for setCPU said 66 degrees F.......which is kinda hard to believe seeing as the outside air temp is 80 degrees F outside and the inside air temp is 73 degrees F and my phone, although it had been sitting untouched for hours pluggen in inside, it was still on.....i cant believe the battery was running the best part of 10 degrees below ambient...even in idle state

Hi guyz, recently I updated my rom version to 2.53.707.4... Before that I backup all my SMS and other stuffs using PPCPimBackupV2.8.. I had a folder called saved SMS in the previous version, so when I backup I saved all the massages in that folder too..

So after flashing I restore everything but when I got to massages through start and in the drop down menu I couldn't see the saved folder.. Previously we can juz go to all massages and view all the folders and even create a new folder but with the new rom I couldnt do so..

So is there any fix for it? Thanks in advance..
[Legend General] jennan88:
Hey guys,

I've just switched to the HTC Legend and I absolutely love it so far. Great device and I'm very happy I changed to Android from my brother's old iPhone 3G.

One thing I've noticed, though (like a lot of the phone's reviewers) is the crappy WiFi reception. I expected it to be bad... but not this bad. I have to be either in the next room to the router or upstairs directly above it to get signal above 1 bar, and if i move 10 feet away it cuts out entirely.

Contrast this with the iPhone 3G or even the HTC Touch2 I had last year, which were both able to pick up WiFi from my backyard or the street out front (both 15 meters away from the router). I'm not expecting the power of my laptop's wifi radio, but is there any way to boost the reception on this thing? It's not the end of the world cause I have a fair bit of data included in my plan, but it's nice to do some guilt free youtube surfing around the house without worrying which room I'm in.

Cheers,

Jennan
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Simple. Either update your phone's radio firmware or buy a range extender for your router.

[Legend General] jennan88:
I checked the HTC website today and followed the step by step guide to finding out what my software version number. Unfortunately for me, it was up to date, so it looks like this is as good as I'll get Wifi radio wise.

Thanks for your help though
[Legend General] familyhousing:
I find the WiFi reception reasonably good. Remember where the WiFi transceiver is positioned (to the left of the camera) and make sure you don't obscure it with your hands. Also, check that your router is not on the same WiFi channel as your neighbours (and ideally about 3 channels clear either side). You can use WiFi analyser from the market to survey your WiFi.
[Legend General] familyhousing:
Just to clarify - that's the left of the camera as viewed from the front of the phone.
