[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark-Vision:
Lockscreen

Just go to Menu - System Setting - Lockscreen - Lockscreen Applications, then Slide the Lock-Symbol to a Position you want, then Touch at unassigned - Apps, then choose the integrated Flashlight-App or one that you manually installed and klick Ok.

Done, your Flashlight can be accessed from Lockscreen. ;)

Danke Dark-Vision und Vauvenal7,

I used Vauvenal7 method and I found the lockscreen widget "torchlight" as part of cm10.1.

The problem with Dark-Visions solution is, when I'm on G3 I use a pincode and fast-unlock, so I only see the Lockscreen Applications on wifi.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark-Vision:
Hi Netzreporter,

its very Simple...just lock your Phone, than activate the Screen by choosen Method (On/Off button or pressing Trackpad), Slide from the upper Location of the Screen (Clock) to the lower and the Pin-Keypad will Slide down.

Then Slide the Screen to the Left and the Press at the Plus.

Here you can then add the Torch-Widget and with just one Touch at it your Torch is On or Off.

And if you want, you can add 3 Torch Widgets, one for normal Flashlight, Second für Ulta-Bright and Third for Strobo. ;)

Und hier nochmal in Deutsch:

Wenn dein Handy gesperrt is, einfach den an/aus-Schalter oder das Trackpad drücken, um den Screen anzuschalten...je nachdem wie du es bei dir eingestellt hast.

Dann auf die Uhr klicken und von da aus nach unten Sliden damit das Pinfeld verschindet, nun kannst du nach links Sliden, dort auf das Plus klicken und einfach das Taschenlampen-Widget auswählen, noch mit ok bestätigen und fertig.

Mit einem Klick darauf is dann die Lampe an oder wieder aus.

Kannst dir auch 3 Taschenlampen-Widgets einrichten, das erste für normale Lampe, das 2. im extrem hellen Modus (den aber nie lang nutzen, weils Schäden an der LED verursachen kann) und als 3. das Stroboskop.

wenn du aufm Hauptschirm dann vom unteren Rand nach oben Slidest, is das Pin-Feld wieder da...oder einfach im Hauptschirm unten auf das Sperrsymbol klicken und du kannst auch entsperren. ;)

[Android Apps and Games] pacosal:
Sorry, but it's not the same.

With Voice Message you can send voice messages to anyone, and you don't have to register to use it.

In my case, is google who is reponsable to send to you notifications. This case is better to save battery than running a service in your device.

But I think that yapt is good too.

Thanks for your comment.

[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Just as the title stated Gizmodo has an article on how g2 revert to stock after reboot. This makes me feel better about owning a vibrant because of samsung lackluster support. Anyway, the point of this thread is about the " root kit" and your thought, discussion, etc

I personally think this is a low blow on htc part, especially looking at their track record with android.

Edit: now I have access to a computer here's the link to article (which summarize and link back what is already here at G2 forum, haha)
[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
they apparently can't even remove bloatware as it reinstalls upon reboot
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Unfortunately locking down android phones is an inevitability. As more and more people transition their daily net use to smartphones so will the purveyors of malware. Making it more difficult to root is a necessary evil. The g2 has a backdoor otherwise there'd be no way to ota updates. It will be discovered. Though it might take more time than the couple of days the phone has been available. Relax :-)
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I agreed that the developers here will have no problem figuring out the backdoor as they are awesome. However, one can not ignore the fact that HTC which is known to promote customization, decided to install this type of "rootkit". Malware is inevitable which is why Google needs to step up their game, being "OPEN" does not mean no intervention of any sort. Simply looking through the app for malware while not irrationally rejecting App would bring a much needed safety net.

Makes me wonder if it is T-Mobile who requested the system to be put in place.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Its more accurate to say that HTC has been in the game longer with popular android handsets than deliberately having been more open than others. It might seem a tad ironic given the level of impatience with Samsung over updates and whatnot but they have been far more open with the galaxy s than pretty much any other manufacturer and any other phone....HTC included...

If its any consolation the non Tmobile version of this phone seems to have the same restrictions.
[Vibrant General] devcurious:
IF this is true, and I step back from being a fan of Android, it actually makes sense.

With Android, as with any consumer electronic product, "power-users" are a small percentage of total users. Applying this truth to Android, I think you can extrapolate out that manufacturers, don't want power-users causing all kinds of support nightmares (like bricking their phones and returning them as defective), so they start increase the effort required to do power-user type things.

I prefer to look at it in practical terms as the manufacturers saying, "If you want to do developer type things, you need to get developer type hardware."

It sux because the developer device won't ever be able to "keep up with the Joneses" as far as coolness factor. However, if you just reference all of the posts of people doing stuff the manufacturer did not intend for them to do, then claiming their phone was defective, and getting a new one, the manufacturers are almost forced into doing stuff like this.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Now you mentioned it, it was really easy to root and modify the phone compare to other phones "traditional" methods.

It is understandable of why people (myself included) were anxious of Samsung as they have horrible update history compare to HTC or Motorola in recent times. If Samsung can push out their update in a more timely manner, I wouldn't put it pass myself to say that Galaxy S is the best android phone on the market.

Perhaps the rollback is due to internal bugs similar to the storage issues G2 is having as well which is possible considered that a messaged up storage would not keep the changes made.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i'm sure this rootkit won't be a problem for long.
[Vibrant General] byt3b0mb:
the what rootkit image was a joke per chris.

the problem with this is that there was recently a ruling that jailbreaking your device is legal - this move is in direct violation to the DCMA ruling.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i know it was a joke, which is why i took down the link. but it was funny.

this isn't a violation, though. the act of jailbreaking/rooting a phone is legal, but that doesn't mean manufacturers can't try and restrict/prevent people from doing it.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that HTC didn't want it, but T-Mobile did. They removed tethering from the 2.2 build. They know that the first thing that rooters do is install tethering software to their Android devices. So yeah, TMO prolly asked HTC to block root so that people wouldn't be tethering all the time.

On 7.2 devices, that wasn't a big issue, but the G2 can theoretically get up to twice as fast as our Vibrants, and with TMO only using 10mhz or so for their HSPA+ deployments, they're probably concerned with too much tethering hurting network performance.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
I love how the arguments on that website keep pointing to how its going to ruin android and how android is open source. Last time I checked Android is an operating system not hardware. Either T-mobile locked it or HTC. I'm going to bet like everybody else that its T-Mobiles doing.

The only thing its going to do honestly is piss off future buyers and they will either avoid that phone or wait for it to be rooted. When the G1 came out I waited until it was rooted then I bought. Vibrant I waited until it was confrimed to be rooted. Of course that was nearly before it hit the market so I bought nearly the day it was available.

So T-Mobile I hope you don't mind loosing sales on that model because its going to happen. I was -| |- close to buying that for my wife. I guess now its not going to happen and if she wants something else first then well you lost her business.
[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
if assholes wouldn't tether 5+ gigs (or way way more) a month then come to the forums bragging about it....we might not have this issue

but people want to abuse it and use tethering for ****ing torrents

morons
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
But what a boneheaded move. They must have known that many people wanted the G2 as a successor to the N1 as a dev phone.
[Vibrant General] metalfan78:
Why is this in the vibrant section, this has nothing to do with the vibrant

The cake is a lie!
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
Maybe this is why the G2 folks won't see the full 4G ram that's becasue HTC used part of it to store the firmware to be rewrite when it detects an modification to the phone. Now, who else is dumping the vibrant for the G2?
[Vibrant General] SiL3nTKiLL:
im sure the devs will figure out a way around this pretty quick lol
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
And what is malware? Any app that reads your SMS? Well, Handcent needs to do that.

Any app that can dial? Google Maps can do that (not to mention the many Dialer replacements).

Any app that requests GPS? Well, if it's not in /system & your GPS is turned off, it can't turn it back on & if you want that app to remain free, the advertiser wants to target market.

Any app that sends your data someplace? Then just about everything on the phone is useless.

How can you look through the app & determine what is malware? Inspect the sourcecode manually? Some apps take nearly a year to get approved for the iDevices. Devs would abandon the Android Market if that started happening pretty quickly. The iDevices have a proven $ turnaround while Android has a pretty hefty piracy rate & others that just don't want to pay for any app because they shouldn't have to because the OS is open and free and so should the apps be.

Just because it is legal for you to do it doesn't mean it is illegal for the manufacturer to make it as hard on you as possible.

That would make complete sense since they effectively need to keep a backup of the OS on hand in case you delete something....with most phones if you delete it, it's gone, you can't factory format back to stock (without a proper backup).

Since this was pretty much advertised as an upgrade to the G1 (hence the name and it coming out just about 2 years later), and most G1 owners were basically tech savvy people, this can't be good for HTC or TMO. This phone more than most others (excepting the N1) is the phone that the people who WANT root would be upgrading to (except for those of us that already swapped to the Vibrant).

[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Alright so I had to remove my facebook account from my phone and put it back in - like countless other people the contacts aren't sync'ing. Here's what I've tried:

Removed facebook account from Accounts. Uninstalled Facebook app updates. Turned off phone. Logged into facebook on my PC and went into application settings and removed facebook mobile and samsung mobile access. Booted phone. Checked logs and saw "facebook_1.2.apk has changed ... unpacking" Rebooted phone. I went back into accounts and added Facebook account - still not syncing with the contacts. I opened the Facebook app and logged in. The facebook app gave itself an account in my Accounts & Sync (So now two facebook entries there) but the app will only pull contacts not the calendar. But it did put pics and link my contacts successfully.

So now you're probably thinking - problem solved albeit through 2 facebook accounts on the phone right? That's what I thought - one can do my calendar and one can do my contacts. However, I then discovered that for some reason the contact pictures aren't showing up in the messaging app - or anywhere else in the phone where they should (Except the Contacts app itself). So I started the whole process over again keeping a close eye on the logs to check for errors. Apparently for the contact pictures to populate to other parts of the phone, it needs to be done through SNS service. While trying to update the facebook account with the SNS setting (Not the one created by the FB App) and pouring over the logs I came across:

W/System.err(2437): at com.sec.android.app.sns.xml.parser.SnsXmlParser.parse(SnsXmlParser.java:73)

E/SNS_PARSER(2437): SnsXmlParser : xmlReader.parse() : SAXException occur

Parse method return false

So it would appear that the SNS service is to blame. The question then is... why is it broken? I'm wondering if this is something that happened through an MR. I've had the phone since launch and contact sync was never failure free (Unlike my HTC phones) but if you let it sit a few days it would magically work one day - well I've been sitting for a few days and it hasn't fixed itself yet so that's what started me on proactive approach.

Thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] cesar424:
I called sprint about this problem yesterday and was pretty much told its probally something with facebook and not much they can do since its 3rd party...
[Epic 4G General] shinma6980:
Well the problem I have with that response is that the Facebook app itself will pull the contacts just fine. So the issue I believe is with the sns service - whether it's going to the wrong site on facebook to pull the contacts or whatever. Which would explain why it's not able parse anything, it's not getting anything to parse. But they won't touch it. I'm willing to bet it's Samsung related. This problem happens to other Galaxy S models also. Guess we're just s.o.l.
[Epic 4G General] Jhiciano:
Has there been a fix for this yet, can I drop in the sns file from lets say evo ?
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
No issues here..if you use the facebook account sync option at the top and turn off the one that facebook installs then everything will work fine.
[Epic 4G General] Jhiciano:
My issue is tha I can not join contacts with facebook ones, it does not sns account, only the one that comes default but even then I can not join contacts, even if I match them up
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I'd say start over with a fresh factory default or wipe with clockwork mod. I've never had a facebook sync issue since the phone was released. Not an issue on the DK28 ones either.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dany0:

[Captivate General] jeremy1147:
So I just got this Captivate and it's not rooted or anything. I used the Sideloading Wonder just once for an app. But then I tried to do a software update and the phone went black. After about 30 minutes it was really hot and I could not turn it back on. Any suggestions as to what the problem may be?
[Captivate General] j101399j:
Installing one app with sideload wonder mechine, should not have casued any issues.

If your phone "Bricked" while downloading and installing the update, I recommend taking it into an AT&T warranty center and have them replace it. There are ways in most cases to unbrick the phone (I think), but that requires flashing a ROM which will void the warranty and possibility make it so you cannot replace the phone under warranty.

When you go into the warranty store that you received a message to update the phone and it froze during the update and will not wake back up. They will either fix it on the spot, which I doubt, or excahnge it for a referb that will still be under warranty for the rest of your 1 year warranty period.
[Captivate General] jeremy1147:
Is there any reason the phone isnt coming back on at all. I mean do you think maybe the battery could just be shot and all i need is a new battery?
[Captivate General] Dino.:
If its a new phone and not refurbished, I highly doubt its just the battery.

On another android forum there was a topic about over clocking, it mentioned the battery will begin to deteriorate when it hits temperatures around 140F, it never said it would completely fail. (correct me if I'm wrong)

But, it may be possible, but I don't think it would be the complete reason.
