This would be awesome if we could use LPP People widget and the Bookmark widget as stand alone .apk's, it's one of the biggest reasons why I use LPP. I HATE there docking system.
[Android Themes] fr0z3n:
true..........
[Android Themes] fr0z3n:
yay got it to work, thanks for the detailed instructions.

btw how did u get ur People widget without any borders? i dont like the thick rounded corners that come with the original widget theme.
[Android Themes] TheNamesJohn:
Awesome guide, thank you!!

Is it possible to remove Contacts name completely from the People widget having just images?
[Android Themes] panta1aimon:
I have a problem. When I choose "Decompile Apk" in APK Manager it says: "An error occured, please check the Log"

What I'm doing wrong?

PS. I have 0.8.5 version of LauncherPro Plus

It worked! Genious mod, perfect guide. Thanks a lot!
[Android Themes] shreaker:
Thanks for the useful post.

Q: Instead of changing the contact picture size, could someone post instructions how do we reduce the height of the gray color bar (where the contact name is) please?

[EDIT] Solved it with some brain sweat... here's the code I used, replace in lpwidget_contact_item.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="100.0dip"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView android:id="@id/imagey" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<TextView android:textSize="12.0sp" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:gravity="center" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/texty" android:background="#aa000000" android:fadingEdge="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="18.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />
</FrameLayout>

This will make the grey bars smaller and also centre contact's names...sample attached.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
Sorry if this has been asked/answered. I couldn't find a thread about it in my search.

My question is how to get MMS working over 4G?

If my 4G radio is on, MMS won't send or receive. I have to drop down to 3G to get either to go. Has anyone else experienced this, or know of a fix? Right now I'm running Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS2 rom, but I also had the same problem on Ava Froyo v9 so I'm thinking it's not a rom issue.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
That could be because 4G is more like Wifi than it is 3G, and you can't send MMS over Wifi. So whenever you want to send an mms, you gotta turn on your 3g, send, then turn it off. Or you can leave 3g, and go to your wireless and network settings and disable "3g always on." 3g should be inactive when you're using only 4g and then go active as soon as you begin sending an mms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
That would be awfully annoying, and a really large flaw in 4G if I have to turn off 4G every time I want to send or receive an MMS message.

I couldn't find that option you said, the only thing I could find that even sounded similar was under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks and it was called Enable always-on mobile data.

I turned that off and still couldn't send with my 4G radio on. Not sure if I have to reboot for the change to take effect or something, because I didn't do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
bump. Still curious if this is by design or if there's something I can fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
ah, thats what i meant "enable always-on mobile data." leave that enabled, then while you're on 4g and you send something through MMS, it will keep you connected on 4g, and activate your 3g at the same time, sending the MMS.

Edit: Sorry about my first post in this thread, i meant to say enable that option, not enable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
I can send and receive MMS with WiFi just fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
It was enabled by default, so it was already enabled when I had this problem.

I'm talking about 4G, not wifi.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
My only other thought is that 4G isn't official in my area yet, it's in testing I'm guessing since i pull a signal, but Sprint doesn't acknowledge there is $g here on their site.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
Out of curiosity how?

I tried sending an SMS over wifi while in airplane mode and it wouldn't work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk0358:
Doesn't airplane mode cancel wifi?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
Nope, I was using it that way on a plane back on Weds of last week. Tried to send an SMS text and it wouldn't let me. internet browsing was working fine.

I figure that's the only way you should use a cell phone on a plane, as just turning off mobile data doesn't disable the phone signal too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
+1 i'm on wifi at home and sent mms all day long on wifi
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
4G is a advanced type of wifi
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
mms is sent through mobile data only, not 4g not wifi

when you are on wifi your 3g will randomly connect for mms updates/refresh, on 4g your 3g will do it too, it will be a concurrent connection with no visible connection

airplane mode shuts it down completely so if on wifi in airplane mode there are no mms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapbox:
That's because SMS needs a mobile connection as it uses the physical cell network to send.

MMS, on the other hand, does not. MMS can be sent on another data source (wifi, etc..)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackerstyle:
Curious then, as my MMS messages won't send if I have my 4G radio on, but SMS will.

Didn't try MMS when I was on the plane and just on wifi..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calexus1182:
What are the lagfixes longterm consequences? I've herd some unsettling things about it...ranging from bricked phone to catching on fire and exploding,

Now I'm asking since I'm planing to get this or the desireHd and frankly sacred the crap outta me.And since theres like a 80% chance I'm gonna have the lag if I buy it I have to know what are the risks , is it like the regular danger of rooting or something much worse?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4u2nvinmtl:
I no longer would recommend the i9000m to people just to many Force Close problems. The phone is unreliable because of the Force Close errors. I was locked out side waited for my phone to boot so I could check a friends buzzer code. I had to put my phone in recovery mode and do a factory reset and lose all my un-backed up personal data on the note pad. That was a big Epic Fail moment for my phone. As much as I hate apple and Itunes at least it works when i needed my Iphone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] au_stevo:
Lol, it won't make it catch on fire. If anything it might brick your phone, which wouldn't be a severe brick, easy to recover from using Odin. I reckon the chances of anything going wrong are really low.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
Must be something screwed up on your phone because I get no force close errors.

I don't believe there's any real harm using a lagfix. All it does is use a different filesystem, which is actually proven, fast, and reliable, unlike Samsung's own RFS system which seems to be pure crap.

I'm using z4mod. So far is seems reliable and performance is amazing :)

LOL at "catching on fire and exploding". Whoever you heard that from should lose all credibility if they were serious when saying that :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapollo:
Generally it shouldn't do any HW damage, i.e. NAND wear down, since RFS (as it was mentioned) is pure crap, based on FAT as rumor has it. I believe that each lagFix that uses variations of ext fs will in fact span NAND life.

As for catching fire, etc. This happens on other devices also and more faulty hardware rather than OS problem, so installing lag fix has in my opinion only advantages.

(Well and a hindrance since if you change firmwares often the you need to uninstall the lag fix).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calexus1182:

Maybe not polled as to say, but if you take in consideration that 5 millions+ units where sold, it's not that big of a number. Frankly, I think the "Plus" outwieght the "cons" largely.

Just don't get it "used" and be sure you can exchange / service it if needed, kinda sucks that you'd spend hundreds without any safe net! But that goes for about anything!

Based on the specs, this is one of the best phone out there. However, if you are patient, wait for the next version of Android on Samsung or HTC or Motorola.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Okay, I'm mad. So I decided I did not like the G2 and wanted to hold out for a better phone in the future. I pre-ordered it and called up the local T-Mobile store to ask if I could return my phone. They happily said sure come on in. The closest T-Mobile store is about 20 min away, but it beat shipping the damn phone.

Well, when I got there, they saw I had the G2 and quickly said ohhh nooo sorry sir but you have to ship that back. We can't take it. WTF. I told them they just told me over the phone I could return it and they just kept apologizing.

Then I called T-Mobile on the way home (speaker phone) and told them I needed to return the G2. The rep I got started going on about how come I don't want to keep it. I literally had to argue with this douche before he agreed to let me return it. He also said they would not cover any shipping charges. WTF.

So I finally shipped it off about 2 weeks ago and put $500 insurance on it. Well, I called T-Mobile yesterday to see if they had received my phone yet so I could get the credit put back on my EIP (So I can buy a new phone possibly the HD7.) They said they don't have it and to call USPS. I called USPS and they can't find any info on it except that it *should* be at the T-Mobile warehouse by now. WTF.

So I have both companies telling me to call the other company. I'm really pissed off. I don't know what to do next. :\

tl;dr version : T-Mobile and USPS say they both don't have my phone!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tatdude806:
This is why you should NOT send anything USPS but first class mail. THEY LOSE THINGS! UPS and FEDEX are the only way to go when it comes to returning items. Sorry that you have had bad luck. But NEVER have faith in the postal service...
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheArtiszan:
Well if USPS can't prove that was delivered you have insurance on the package file a claim and get the money for it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
+1

I shipped mine back FedEx Ground with $500 worth of insurance. I have the signature of the person who signed for it. Call me paranoid, but I don't trust USPS for squat either. It cost me a total of $11, including the box and filler.

Did you fill out the return sheet and provide T-Mobile the tracking number (as instructed) *before* they received it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Nobody gives you insurance by default. You have to ask for it *and* pay for it. Even then, you have to prove to them that it wasn't delivered, which requires tracking and signature confirmation.

Sucks, but USPS has always been like this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PolishDude:
he says he insured it for $500, i sent my back with fedex though to get a tracking number, also insured it for $500
[G2 and Desire Z General] rex450se:
I sent mine back via UPS, as soon as I left the store I called T-Mo and they put the tracking info in their system, checked the status and since it showed up they went ahead and credited my account as if they already received it.

Victor

I also believe that when you talked to them, they more than likely said to ship it back via UPS or FedEx to insure you have a tracking number. At least they have told me that every time I have sent a phone back to them over the years.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
You'll be alright. Make sure to save your receipt from USPS and a tracking number. Call tmobile until you speak with a supervisor. You may need to wait for them to call you back. Tell em your story, give them your numbers and they'll track it down. They have a way of tracing packages. You'll get your money back if you have proof you sent it and you push hard.

Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Yeah I still have the receipt with the tracking. The problem with the tracking is that when I try to search for it, it says this:

"Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office."

So, yeah, I won't be using USPS again. As for whether or not T-Mobile said I could use USPS, they did.

I'll try getting a hold of a supervisor tomorrow. Hopefully they can get this resolved for me. Luckily, I'm in CA, so I have 30 days to return it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aedv:
I'm confused....did you order delivery confirmation on the package? Because the only way you can track a package with USPS is if you order delivery confirmation (or if you send it via registered mail...but I think that's only for envelopes).

Btw I sent my G2 back to TMO and they credited my account $10 for the shipping.

[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
what everyone else has said about USPS - and it can take 6 months + to resolve a loss claim with them - biggest joke in the world.

I had an experience with them over a $505 COD pmt that never came back to me and it took over six months to resolve and the only reason it got resolved then was that i knew someone high up in the Postal system that pointed me at the right person to talk to. Without that pointer, i'd still be waiting for that pmt to show up

UPS or Fedex aren't the greatest, but at least losses are resolved in short order (2-3 weeks at the outside) - we ship a lot with UPS so we've had some experience with them. And their tracking svc actually shows where something is in the system - postal shows "in transit", sometimes 3 weeks after it's been delivered

USPS employees, at night, practive giving aspirin tablets a headache
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
I preordered the G2 and was fully aware that I'd have to pay for shipping if I returned it during the buyer's remorse period. Too bad someone from the tmo store gave you wrong info - but that is to be expected. I never rely on the store workers for information.

Chances are they will find your phone so don't sweat it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
So who do you recommend besides Fedex or UPS? For small packages of high value Fedex is better. For heavier / larger stuff UPS is the best - as far as price goes at least. This is true of 3 day / ground type service insured.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Remember, this is USPS.

When the recipient signs for the package, they return mail you the little yellow card (also via USPS, and also just as likely to be "lost" by them.)

In any event, you'll have to go through USPS and file a claim. They might make you wait a few more weeks, so the return card has time to arrive.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
$11 FedEx Ground (via Kinkos, including packing material and an outer box)

UPS price is under $10 for ground

There really isn't any other viable option.

FedEx vs UPS - It really doesn't matter anymore. Both are comparable for most packages. Just don't use USPS for anything important.
