[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
yes, the police will have a way to track it, but since it's not a life threatening situation, it's not going to be a priority on their to do list. The only thing you can do is just follow up with them and hopefully someone will spend the time to track it down for you. Other than that, you might just need to take this one in the rear and learn to protect your phone better the next time around.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Actually, I don't see any reason why the police would have a way to track IMEI numbers, the police department is not in the business to own technology to track IMEI numbers. The most they can do is try and talk to T-Mobile and see if they are willing to cooperate and provide the police with the number using the phone now. Chances are that won't happen either. You are basically out of luck, in terms of getting your phone back.

So here is what you can do.

Call T-Mobile Cancellation department, tell them you wan't to cancel. Explain to them what happend and you can not afford a new replacement phone at full retail. If they say you are **** out of luck, just say you wan't to cancel anyway and ask them to waive the ETF. If they fail to waive the ETF, explain to them that even with the ETF, you will still save more money by going to a different carrier and getting a new fascinate or epic or captivate for cheaper. For example you can find the fascinate or captivate for under a 100 bucks with new contract. I think T-Mobile will work with you, silly to lose you, they can at least provide you a good discount on a new one. You should have a police report to back up your story.

If you only would of installed Lookout Mobile Security...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Ya, but anyone can do a hard reset and it will get rid of lookout mobile security.

Anyways, what if he did have it, you are going to show up at the guys place and do what? Knock on the door and ask for your phone back? Then possibly get shot? Or possibly start a physical altercation then get sued?

Maybe you can get lucky and have a cop go with you, but police have better things to do than go with people to get their phones back. They can hide out near stop signs and assign parking tickets.

have fun

Police will track it if they feel like it. I live across the street from a police department and they have posted a campaign to register your phone with them in the event it is stolen they will be able to track it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papawuu:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone encountered this issue i'm having. I flashed docs jpm (froyo)which worked great for 3-4 days with 0 issues. I installed some apps, fb, twitter etc. then suddenly out of nowhere the hardware buttons on the bottom of the phone are do not work properly sometimes.

The list button will be lit, the return button is not, and when I click on the home button it makes the picture taking sound. I leave the phone for a minute or two, then it is back to normal. This is driving me crazy!!! Anyone know if this would be a firmware issue or hardware?

Thanks guys!

Henry
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bikecool81:
I had the exact same thing but only when the phone was hot i.e. After charge or while using it a lot. It was a hardware issue. I had the phone replaced. Try to put it in the refregerator a couple minute when it does that and see if it goes away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papawuu:
Weird, mine never gets hot. I'm going to call bell and get a replacement then.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1chung:
flash back to eclair, there is no i9000m specific froyo rom. if you experience these issues on an official canadian rom, then you have a reason to be concerned. a bunch of people have had issues with the jpm/jp6 froyo release...........though mainly sd card issues, not this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papawuu:
I just flashed back to stock eclair and it seems to be working for far. Ill update here if it stops working.

Hello Everybody just wanted to say hello, I'm new to XDA forum, but have been on Droid Forum.net for the last 6 months, and since they get most of there stuff from this website i just decided to come here :) anyway I had a Droid X and was rooted and themed, and it was nice for awhile but there was just way to many problems witht he phone for me, so now I have the fascinate and LOVE IT ! I am however going to wait until 2.2 comes out to root the phone, so anyway thanks for having me !:cool:
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798064

Welcome to the forums! But why wait to root? I was semi-bricked last night and had to use Odin to restore to stock, and it only took 15 minutes to re-root and do everything in my thread above. The phone will be much snappier and you won't have any bloatware.
[Fascinate General] MrKows:
Well I had the problem with the X about rooting then having to go back to 2.1 to update so I don't won't the same thing with my fascinate. Will it be the same process to root once we get 2.2 ?

Sent via Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
The devs will release a rooted 2.2 update shortly after the OTA is released. It's not something to be concerned about. The X has a locked bootloader, that's why. I'm not sure if the process will change. It's risky because it is always possible that they can block rooting with the new update.
[Fascinate General] MrKows:
Of well that would suck. Hey the lagfix is for rooted only right?

[Nexus One Android Development] jlevy73:
Trackball alert and Wake would be cool.

P.S. Probably want to remove Swype. The Mods will definitely be on you for this. Just trying to save you the hassle.
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Yeah, I figured the integrated Swype would be an issue. Guess Ill make an XDA-friendly version ^^...

Thanks for the feedback!
[Nexus One Android Development] electrostat:
This sounds great, will keep checking :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Trackball alerts is in
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Released! enjoy!
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Sorry, I forgot to push over the new bcm4329.ko. While I was at it, I integrated my MMS Max Sending size tweak!

Should be all good now!
[Nexus One Android Development] rockuman_ex:
Please remove the radio. im currently using the 5x, and dont want to downgrade.

I oppose trackball alert, we need it as stock as possible remember?
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Ill release a version without the radio asap..

Personally I dont see any downside of having the trackball alert in though?
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
It's good to have the Framework "Trackball Alert Ready", but not include it. I use it, but I have the pro version, and sometimes when the included non-pro version comes with the ROM, it conflicts or has issues when trying to get the Pro version installed/running.
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Ah, but the app isnt included, only the framework. I guess I should rephrase that one! ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:

Thank you! Its the first ROM I've made but Ive wanted to do it for ages.

Didnt know the black bars were so popular. Ill see what I can do :)
[Nexus One Android Development] clarksonator:
I would like the following to be added as they are the only things keeping me from running stock:

1. Music controls on lock screen

2. Trackball unlock (I don't want trackball wake so maybe a choice between the two?)

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Thanks for the ideas! I will see what I can put together!
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
There are apps that can do this kind of thing... The best thing to do is keep the ROM stock and other things be put out as either Add-Ons or let them use the apps to do this.

Once you start putting too much "Extra" stuff in, it is no longer a "Stock" ROM.

Little things like Black Bar, Trackball Alert Support and whatnot don't take away from a Stock experience. Some of these suggestions do.

Keep that in mind if you plan to stay more "Stock" than Custom.
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. I don't plan I'm adding anything that will ruin the stockness. Though I still welcome suggestions! I intend to offer with UTB-ROM what the other, heavily customized ones do not. A clean, rooted Android ROM with a few useful tweaks..

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
Good to hear this. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] electrostat:
Yay, will flash tonight :) Currently running MIUI and can't wait to get back to a stock-ish rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] rockuman_ex:
Agree. When you start listening and giving in to what people suggest, we'll have non-stock rom in no time.

You will need to start "ignoring" requests from now on :D

I'm all for "STOCK" rom, i mean STOCK STOCK! No add ons, nothing.

Just stock, rooted, and internal tweaks that make the phone to run faster.
[Nexus One Android Development] fzr-r4:
I like how black bars look, plus it helps save some tiny amount of battery when the screen's on! ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
How much uptime are we talking about (with regular use, some calls, texting, wifi + 3g, music) ?
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
You talking about the ROM or blackbars?
[Nexus One Android Development] [-o']:
The ROM, sjølvsagt!
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Well, I would say the battery life is similar to stock.. I was at 90% when I unplugged this morning, 7 hours later im at 69% after doing some light texting browsing and spotifying..
[Nexus One Android Development] dgart08:
Awesome!!!

I've been meaning to try a stock ROM and get away from some of the heavily modded ROMs...

I would suggest APPS2EXT, though. It is very useful for those of us that have lots of apps. It just keeps the system cleaner. Dalvik to EXT or cache would be useful too...
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Ill think about it ;)

Any feedback from people actually using the ROM?

[Nexus One Android Development] phanompin23:
Same here!
[Nexus One Android Development] OrganizedFellow:
Since you have your own website, how about you provide a POLL, with the possible addons people are asking for?

You're getting lots of request to add this and that.

You're also straying from what you intended this to be. Stock.

With a poll, you can decide what to add, and what not.

I don't know all the work that does into making a ROM, or a patch/addon, but I would vote for addons for most of the stuff people are asking for -ORRR- as one earlier suggestion, IGNORE THEM.

As popular as CyanogenMod is, I can't stand the bloated features of it.

Many of us love plain. We love simple. We love small, tight and compact stock :)

I hope you take the polling idea into consideration.
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
...but your sig says Enomther...:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] OrganizedFellow:
Yes.

My sig says alot of things.

This weekend, it'll probably say something else, for I am on that forever elusive hunt for the perfect ROM that makes panties drop!
[Nexus One Android Development] wdfowty:
I was curious as to why you would say you love stock, and hate the extra features of CM, when you're running TheOfficial.

Anyways, I do understand the constant flashing. I build a CM nightly, well, nightly (lol), and try to keep up. Never tried enomther, I guess I should give it a shot.
[Nexus One Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Exellent idea. To be perfectly honest, I am fully set on keeping this ROM as close to stock as possible with the main goal being to satisfy my own needs. So while I appreciate every idea, I am fairly set on what I want this ROM to be.

I realize the version without the radio is broken though, gotta fix that asap..

Thanks again

Hi there, I've noticed that autorotation is much more *sensitive*, than in Eclair builds. It has a tendency of overreacting, I would like to have my screen switch to rotate less often.

Do we have any knowledge to change its behavior?

The problem has not been fixed inthe official XEE JPM release.

It's really annoying that it keeps rotating if you happen to tilt it just a little bit :mad:

To make matters worse, the new auto-rotate on/off button in the notification bar is useless as it doesn't lock the screen in the current position, but always in portrait mode!!

Hey guys I got my EVO in the mail on Thursday, and do I love the thing! I have been reading about battery life and was a little concerned at first, but that was then. Last night I unplugged my phone at 7pm and it had a 95% charge. I played with it a bit and texted until around 12am. I did not charge it and started texting and using it for a while this morning around 10am. It is now 4pm and I have 49% battery. If this is what everyone is complaining about, im happy with it haha.
[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Basically, it's people leaving 4G / Wifi / Bluetooth / GPS all on at the same time that kills the battery life of the Evo. My launch-day Evo has routinely done 20+ hours of usage with no problems.

The only times I've ever seen a marked decrease in battery performance, I could find that some app was hung up in the background draining the juice.
[EVO 4G General] chefthomas99:

Come back after you try using data for an extended time (texts don't need data connections most of the time), having your mail sync for even every 3 hours or so and facebook, news, weather or any other auto sync feature enabled. Watch your battery die as quick as a witch under water.
[EVO 4G General] Jackk819:

[EVO 4G General] bharris25:
I get fine battery life, with WiFi connected I get much better standby than when using mobile data. Turn mobile data off when I'm out and about and the battery basically doesn't move. But I still can get 20 hours of use if I'm not on my phone constantly. I only turn off mobile data if I think I need my phone to last more than a day. Like camping or something. I have gmail pushed and weather and all that good stuff synced every hour. Been playing with juice defender which does increase battery life pretty good but you can get the same effect by toggling your mobile data with the widget. Juice defender does turn on data every 15 mins for a minute to sync which is nice but it causes a little lag when you unlock your screen because it turns on data as soon as you unlock, a little annoying.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I highly doubt this is possible especially on the stock battey. I personally know there is no way to have all those apps syncing at those frequencies on the stock battery and still get MORE than 9 hours of use. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=783364

According to that, it says your phone has been powered on for 48 minutes and used for 15 minutes. Go back and check the link I gave in my first response and look at the screenshot most people would want to see.

EDIT: Saw your edit and your phone has been in standby most of the time. I personally am not impressed by standby times. But if that's what floats your boat then so be it.
