[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakoffline:
did you actually read it properly?? i am not saying anything about android's customization and neither comparing it to iphone. all that i am saying is that lack of good & high quality apps/games like iOS and poor battery life. now where did iphone come into this??

and for windows.... i am talking about windows phone 7 and not 6. the videos and previews of it looks quite nice. the devices are still not out so time will tell how it turns out to be.

the only downside of android currently is lack of better quality apps.

thanks

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
That's an easy one. Yes.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thetoady:
so there are times it seems that the android shell dies and automatically restarts itself, (i.e goes back to the xdandroid logo flashing bakc and forth until I can run stuff again).

When this happens, phone works fine, but no data seems to be transferred (all apps timeout), even though it gives tha appearance as if its connected to data (and occasionally see the upload arrow get highlighted, but never the download arrow).

any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] quik99:
I have this happen randomly..it has been happenign recently during phone calls also. I will be in a call the speaker phone will turn on the person cant hear me and then I see the android loading image with the phones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
i get the call problem too, what phones do you guys have?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thetoady:
sprint touch pro 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] noodles21o2:
you check force cdma in the startup?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thetoady:
of course, check what i wrote, even after it stops working with data, it still works as a phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
CDMA phones don't have a very complete RIL. I think I heard GSM's RIL was 800k and ours was about 50k - so we're missing some stuff. Unless some guru ends up with a CDMA device, I don't see our RIL getting fixed - ever.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sukru:
I have similar issues on T-Mobile TP2, sometimes it reboots for no reason, or sometimes its stuck on black screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] thetoady:
I should note, that my issue isn't that it restarts the shell (that is an issue, but I've seen that on all phones), it's that it seems to mess up the ip connectivity when that happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] quik99:
Tilt 2 also
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00sivan:
I have been looking for a widget to toggle MobileAP on and off since I use it as my primary internet connection at home, it sucks having to repeatedly turn it on and off every time I leave the house.

Might even be cool to have it automatically shut off based on location?

If something similar is already available, please link. I haven't found it. Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorjonny:
If you use adw launcher you can make a custom shortcut to mobile ap, then just turn it on n off... Fast enough for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00sivan:
cool. not quite what i was looking for but it is a possible solution. i rather like tw and prefer to keep it if possible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blkbltwrestler:
how do you do that I am trying to figure it out?

Edit nevermind I found it under activities
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
You can try "tasker" in the market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Yeah, but doesn't it change the wpa code every time its activated? Wouldn't you need to go into settings anyway to get it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oDeACoNo:
The passcode is the same once you set it up and the ssid.

I used Bettercut to setup a shortcut to the Mobile AP settings but not an actual toggle which would be nice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00sivan:
It really sucks this was moved to Q&A, it's a dev post as far as I can tell. It would probably take 15 min. for someone savvy to make a widget that does this. I guess most of the devs don't really use mobileAP.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frannyman:
real laaaaate response, but both "AndSpot Widget" and "Mobile AP Shortcut" work real good. I personally prefer the first one, as the other one is kind of ugly.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkopalek:
I swear that I can remember there being a host of Metamorph themes that will morph SenseUI with dark Rosies and different types of batteries (yes, I know there are lots of circle battery flashes) and things.

I scum through the Hero themes and apps, and can't find much.

I scum thorugh the Eris themes and apps, and SWEAR I can remember more, months ago.

I am I confused? I feel like SOMEONE would have/did make a blue battery/highlight color flash, or a different Android guy when a no-picture-stored contact/caller is on the line, or a graphite/black battery, or clear notification bars.

I see that there are LOT of cyanogenmod themes, and that's super. But although I see an awesome orange xtrSense theme there, I am lost on where all the metamorph themes I remember seeing, went to.

I feel stupid almost, since I've been around computers for years, and spent LOTS of time on forums, and even helping people, and rooting friends' phones, etc etc etc.

I swore I remember seeing a HTC hero theme repository thread with like 100 different little themes and metamorphs. I can't even find that (assuming any of those would work).

Am I crazy? Confused? (feel free to slap sense into me if so)

Where are all the SenseUI metamorph themes? Do I need to try to learn how to make some?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antEris:
Yessir

I've been wondering this too, I remember before I rooted seeing a picture of an Eris with a black rosie and all the grey turned black. Heck that was half the reason I rooted, but I never have found it lol. guess I got side tracked.

I've been thinking of trying to make some Themes for punk.kaos's froyo sense when it gets stable. I've figured out a little about theming android, (I'm still not that good and have never themed sense, so dont expect much.)

I'd LOVE to have a white and blue sense theme though, that'd be on point.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droiderisuser:
I have only made two themes for the eris. One I posted on here the other is not done, so I guess that technically 1 1/2 but who's counting, and I can tell you it is more tideous work then actual challenge. The reason for lack of themes is probably just a demand thing. Most people that have the eris have had it for awhile. So they either already have it how they like it or have moved onto another device. I think it would be great for those of us with the eris to help out with theming and developing. With all the hard work the developers put in to the roms the least us as the end user can do is make some themes for others to use and give a variety of option for roms to look. </rant>

I think that may come off harsher then it was meant to when I was typing this. Anyway, if you or anybody else on here needs help making themes, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can just message me on here I check this place probably 50 times a day. I would love to help some people get on the theming bus and help make some new themes for us to choose from.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antEris:
I dont think thats harsh at all, its just plain fair.

the handfull of devs here work so hard bringing us roms we never would dream of seeing on our phone, the least we can do -if we are able- is contribute a little time to editing some pictures. it makes all our phones have that many more options. course...lifes not fair ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenkies:
I would love to learn. Where do you suggest I start? I've already taken pieces from several different themes to make what I want. I would like to see a nice sense ui theme. It can be done, shadowrom has a theme that is as close to sense that I've seen yet. They got about everything but HTC Widgets and the real htc launcher. However the themer made an HTC launcher dock background and some blank icons that when using launcher pro is very nice because your icons don't show up on the dock like they normally would. What would it take to incorporate the real launcher into a theme?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skeletronix:
Here are some of the metamorphs I think you were talking about. Really the only ones I could find that seem to work. I know there's more out there. Anyone else got anything?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoltrix2000:
I went to the PhoneBooth store (Canada) and they had a Bell i9000 on display. As I demo'd it, it had severe erratic touch behaviour, my touches jumping everywhere. First thing I though it was just a defective demo, but when I asked the sales clerk he dismissed it and said "huh what?" and THATs it. I was like "are you serious?" and he said nothing.

So I thought I'd ask here and see if everyone ever had a lot of erratic touch behaviour, because i'm really thinking of ditching my N1 for this super fast phone.

-havoc
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon3D:
I own a european Galaxy S and to this day I have yet to see or experience any kind of touchscreen malfunction.

I've only had mine for sum-sum weeks though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcall_r:
I have noticed eratic behaviour on my SGS's touchscreen when it is plugged into USB. Not sure why this is, it is pretty much unusable when plugged into usb.

At all other times it works perfectly with no complaints.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
I am in Canada and have the Bell i9000M and have never experienced any erratic touchscreen behaviour at all. I can use my scren when it is charging, on USB, all the time with no issues...

Hope I have been of help... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I've yet to have touch problems, It only goes mental if theres alot of oil/junk on the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengsuan:
I have no problem with the screen response. I heard the digitizer will go haywire when some 3rd party USB charger are used but I have been using original charger all these while.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shauder:
This is the DX keyboard and has been successfully put onto the fascinate, credit goes to adrynalyne for putting this together. This version should not give you FC errors when you reboot the phone

Needs to be flashed with clockwork!

UPDATED 10/12/10
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] magicriggs:
I'm sorry how do you install this?

Edit: found out how.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] itstee:
cool thanks.. i was looking for this!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] d12183:
How exactly is multi-touch useful on a keyboard?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] taypotts:
Don't you type with 2 fingers? There you go ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] d12183:
Well yeah... but wouldn't you be able to do the same without multi-touch?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] taypotts:
take a non-multi-touch keyboard and press one key then try to press another key. It will only pick up on the first key that you press.

You can type with 2 fingers but it's like you have to use one finger at a time fairly slow.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] carrick1107:
I am getting force close (something about a latin file). Any solutions?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] larry996:
SAME HERE FORCE CLOSES! Thanks now need to restore with odin.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shauder:
Clear the Dalvik cache. It works you guys are just doing something wrong.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] rsmiff:
i'm getting force closes too...i assure you i did precisely what it said... install with cwm. how do i get rid of this?

**edit*

nevermind....it's gone
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Alex530:
Will this work with the vibrant? Running a custom rom?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
I don't see why not.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dakoop:
I had this up and running on my phone and now its gone. Could changing the tw launcher have deleted it? I just tried to flash it but it didn't work

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zeroxg4:
I originally installed the .apk of this keyboard and got FC's. I cleared the entire devlik cache and installed this .zip via clockwork and I'm still getting FC's. Any ideas?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zeroxg4:
Alright I figured it out. FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING A FORCE CLOSE WITH "LATIN" IN THE NAME, these are the steps that I took (if you've already flashed via clockwork):

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE, this is just how I fixed this issue.

1.) Go into system/app and DELETE your DXkeyboard.apk

2.) Go into data/devlik cache and delete the line that has "DX.." in the name (i forgot what its called)

the above two steps thus far are what I DID, they may not be necessary.

3.) unzip the dxkbd file that was in the OP on your desktop

4.) go into "system" and you'll see "app" and "library"

5.) copy the .apk file and .so file from "app" and "library" respectively and put them on your sdcard

6.) using root explorer, move the .so file to system / lib

7.) using root explorer, move the .apk file to system / app

8.) DELETE "latinIME" apk and odex

9.) DELETE latintutorial (or something like that, its right under latinIME odex i believe)

10.) reboot
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
With the exception of deleting things, thats precisely what the package in the op does.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] phoenx06:
I couldn't get the first post or the CW zip to work, but following the steps from that last post finally got it working.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] hd0120:
Thanks a lot, zeroxg4.

I followed your instructions and no more force close.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zeroxg4:
No problem. I was a little frustrated by the lack of response I got when I had this problem so I decided to figure it out myself and help everyone else who ran into the same issue but also went unnoticed.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:
Yeah...not sure. I put this package together for shauder, and it did work at one time, but now it does not, even for me....
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emarx429:
I just wanna say i cwm flashed the zip file and this is a dream keyboard! I actually had a dx n returned it for the fascinate- one of the things i missed was this keyboard!!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] pjmirano:
I got the keyboard to work. But sound on keypress uses the tw_touch.ogg file found in system/media/audio/ui. The key press files can be found on the same folder. But its not using those.

Is there anyway to set the multitouch keyboard to use those sound files instead?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] strictlyphat:
Finally got.this dammed thing to.work. i followed the instructions about deleting those files and putting the two other files extracted.into the correct places. Sorry about all the extra periods i'm getting used to the spacebar.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ogxku5h:
wait, so if i install the multi touch keyboard i wont be able to use swype? is that correct

EDIT: also, can i use astro instead of root explorer?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] shauder:
I am still having 0 problems and have flashed many new roms, always putting this back on. Always try and clear cache and dalvik cache. People with voodoo installed may have problems I think.

TO install this keyboard use clockwork!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] klumos:
Is this flashable over a voodoo kernel? If not how do i got about installing this with voodoo?

Thanks
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
I love the keyboard, but I have one issue with it. Every time I restart my phone, it resets the settings back to what they were before hand. Anyone else have this issue and know of a way to fix it?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lucas.scott:
fantastic keyboard , only gripe is the settings have no effect at all for me . word prediction does not show up at the top , and even if i select to make it vibrate on keytouch , it does nothing. But those are pretty minor things . Its super duper fast .
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
im sry for posting another topic, went through all other topics and none helped me, my x10 has been rebooting randomly alot, never did when i first got it

it restarts when im using edge while browsing the internet, restarts sometimes during games, restarts when calling someone and ALOT when i use it when its plugged

i tried so far flashing it from SEUS, removing apps, playing around with settings

its a problem so big for me im concidering changing phones, and returning the x10 to a shop or sending it for warranty arnt options for me
[XPERIA X10 General] corruptfate:
I think it's the phone running out of Ram because your having too much stuff open
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
no, usually happens after it just booted while doing a random action
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Probably time to back up your apps and wipe things out. Also, defrag your SD card because a few times mine became amazingly fragmented.

You could back track and try figuring out what app or what change had caused this but for the same amount of effort you can start fresh. I routinely wipe things out. I do it partially because if you only do a few reformats every now and again it becomes a daunting, intimidating task where you fear losing important info, etc.. just my two cents.
[XPERIA X10 General] JohnBlade73:
Mine is doing it too, while I have almost no extra applications installed and I don't use timescape and very rarely mediascape.

Just laying on my desk when suddenly the display lights up and the phone says simcard locked (asking for my pincode).

Happens approx. once every 1-2 days, and sometimes a short time after I reboot.

I never noticed it in the almost 6 months I have this phone, until I plugged in a new simcard with the pincode request active :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Reseating the SIM and SD card can definitely help too. But I've personally used the same SIM cards for years without challenges on the network or with my phones. Sometimes you get a dud or some dust in there.

I like using Hot Reboot to reboot my phone from time to time as well. I don't do it too often because I like to see how long my battery lasts, but it helps out a ton. Much better than killing tasks. I only do that before putting my phone to sleep for a long time, just in case some stray apps don't close or trick WiFi into staying on, etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
My phone seems to be rebooting much more when I plug in to charge (while on the phone or having the earphones plugged in) . . . Its really annoying. Last night just trying to talk to my girlfriend it rebooted about.. 7 times? Less than 30 minutes. That is very frustrating. . I'll go home later and try to defrag the card and maybe the sim and such. I'll see what happens.. if it keeps up I might just have to go back to the storm1 until 2.1 comes out. Hopefully that'll fix this rebooting problem..
[XPERIA X10 General] mmk92:
same here, its a perfect phone i and i dnt mind anything in it but the reboot problem, cuz i already have a couple of deals lined up to sell it and if the prob isnt fixed any time soon im gonna take the plunge and sell it
[XPERIA X10 General] Fitz:
it is a hardware failure. If you smell the back (behind the cover) u smell something burning. it will hapen more often and than you have to take it to a repair center where they can fix it under warrenty. They are repairing mine right now.....
[XPERIA X10 General] keithwanhk71:
I have same issue in HK & got replace mainboard but still got error restart.:mad:

Finally they change a new X10i to me beside they need me keep my old back cover!
[XPERIA X10 General] hardykalyan:
My friend has got the same issue and the phone was sent back with the same problem again. In return we sent it back again to sony and we received a new phone :p
[XPERIA X10 General] JohnBlade73:
I wonder if the restarting could be related to wifi,

I didn't enable the wifi for about 2 weeks now and it didn't reboot once.

Just leaving 3g network on for the moment.
[XPERIA X10 General] wwteo:
get your x10 replaced with its motherboard. i had to threaten legal action just to get the restart loop fixed.

its a very common problem with a faulty batch or with the phone itself. you can check all the complaints here

talk dot sonyericsson dot com/message/24287
[XPERIA X10 General] Lakata:
m8 i had exactly the same problem first the restart was just randomly and then the START became random :) i mean when i boot my phone it restarted itself over and over again so i turn it off and leave it to rest then when i switch it on again i was able to use it about 30 min and then the restarting session comes back again and i wasnt even able to log in to Android OS . The device just reached Sonny Ericsson logo and restart .SO i gave it back to the shop i bought it from and after few days they gave me new one coz it was some hardware issue they couldnt fix that was the only way to repair it for me.

P.s. 1st i bought black xperia but they gave me white :) cant be more happy :P coz i wanted white when i first went to the shop but they ware all sold .. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] SuperUserMovado:
I think it happens when the phone gets too hot. check the back of your phone and feel it it is overly warm, I know my phone has rebooted sometimes when I have been doing cpu intensive tasks and multitasking or using the gps for a while. This happened with my g1 as well.
[XPERIA X10 General] MadmanJay:
Are you using a Task Killer? If so, do NOT kill the Backup and Restore application on the phone and see if that resolves your problem.

I know it sounds strange, but I was having a similar issue where my phone would randonly restarted. It only started to happen after I did a firmware upgrade that installed the Backup and Restore feature (I'm on Rogers). Once I stopped killing the app, my problems stopped.
[XPERIA X10 General] bjordanov:
For mine it was GPS. Disabling GPS stops rebooting the phone.:D:D:D
