[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Yea I've never customized anything in my life even though the g2 is my 2nd android device ever. Wait not to mention I've bought and sold iphones for a living along with jailbreaking them in every possible way and customizing them for anyone with specific settings. But yea i guess "dbags like me never customized anything in my life" id customize my automatic reboot issue but i havent found out how so i guess i gotta accept things the way they are
[G2 and Desire Z General] lowlife546:
haha such a heated debate over this. but i agree the power button is in a really bad spot. i was baffled why they didnt make the trackball wake up the phone, especially since it doesnt stick out and sits flush with the front part of the phone so there's minimal chance of an accidental push. to have to push a small button on the very top and back part of the phone and then have to swipe across the bottom of the screen to unlock the phone is really a pain in the ass, especially using it with one hand. the only way it makes sense is if u slid down from the top right of the screen to unlock so u got one fluid motion going.

and while we're on the subject of dumb hardware decisions why the search button on the front but no phone button? maybe it's just me
[G2 and Desire Z General] potentdro:
I came from the iPhone 2G, so Im familar with the power button placement. It did take me a little time to get use to it since the G2 is slightly thicker. I dont think it's in a bad spot though.

Now if we want to talk about bad spots, then the micro USB port is the winner. Not sure what they were thinking there. Why cant it be at the bottom?

Anyway, the trackpad definitely needs a way to wake up the phone. If not a touch-to-wake at least a press-to-wake would be cool.

Personally, the power button should be reserved for powering down and locking the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
it was a simple hack on the mytouch slide when i had that, all we needed to do was change a few things in the keymaps and it was fixed, unfortunately since we have NAND locked device we would need to re-apply the hack every time(save hacked keymap to sdcard and add entry to visionary.sh to copy it over to /system) maybe i will look into it, maybe i won't either way the rest of you should be able to figure it out with some looking around the forums and at the correct files
[G2 and Desire Z General] MassimoM2:
yeah, need track pad and shutter button wake.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
I reaserched a little to see how it was done on the nexus and how key remaping is done on the g1. I know exactly the file I need to edit, but the keyboard files are all under /system so no way we can change those (lol I knew that already). I'm trying to figure out a way around that limitation though, maybe I can symlink it or something to that effect. Anybody got any ideas?

[G2 and Desire Z General] zuludelta9:
I use nolock from the market and the track pad and camera button can be used to wake device from ' lock'. Non rooted too
[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
How? Inquiring minds want to know.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PlatinumMOTO:
I use menu unlock from Kmobs and once I rooted all 3 of my G2s they all retained the setting so now I just push menu to unlock.

I don't know how it does it because you have to root it each time you know but it still works root or not.
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
good thread. I maybe off topic but another thing that's kind of annoying is that the screen goes dark when you're in call and sometimes it doesn't wake up if you need to use the dial pad..is there a way to have the screen be lit the whole time while youre in call?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lowlife546:
the proximity sensor should detect when u move the phone away from your ear and automatically turn the screen back on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zuludelta9:
+1. It should know when you've moved your phone away from your ear.

Also, I thought NoLock did this by itself? I'm sorry, I don't know--there are no settings in the program. Just Locking Enabled and Locking Disabled.

I have it Disabled.

You guys want the G2 to wake up from "locked" mode right? Yeah, mine does that through the Power Button, Volume Controls, Trackpad and also Camera button. Just not from the screen.

Only thing I can thing of if it's from Launcher Pro? I can post a video if you guys want proof, lol...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ihateusernames:
I installed nolock but it is intermittent. That makes it that much more frustrating.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
That method works, but I want to be able to "wake", not "unlock". Maybe this will have to wait until we have perma-root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] icruisin:
I miss the 'end call' or red button on this G2.. I am ok with everything else.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eleazar6:
I don't have a G2 yet, but I really like the double press of the menu button to wake on my G1. I have my phone on a mount at work and it's great. Pressing the top power button + swipe will take a lot longer. +1 for doing this on the G2.

Also, I don't see that trackpad button getting pressed in your pocket... just like the flush G1 menu button .
[G2 and Desire Z General] izzyskywalker:
Yeah, people are just asses. The power button is in a strange location for it to be the unlock. I can probably speak for a lot of people when I say I frequently mash my touchpad to unlock my phone out of habit. It just feels more natural
[G2 and Desire Z General] egzthunder1:
Ok guys, I just cleaned up the thread a bit. Stop the fighting please....
[G2 and Desire Z General] Davidion:
I really found it strange that you have to press the rather awkwardly placed power button to unlock the phone. I came from a Cliq XT (stop laughing) and even it allows for menu button unlock.

It's just a really strange bit of UI awkwardness that I'm surprised was overlooked on the designer's part.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gaarry:
Just wondering if there was any new information on this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
You can use the power button as an "End Call Button" in the universal handicapped settings..
[G2 and Desire Z General] drm916:
Nolock works for me as well. Any physical button now wakes the phone. And eliminates the slide to unlock.

I would rather it wake the phone and leave the slide in place. That would prevent any pocket dialing. But I do greatly prefer the trackpad wake over the power button wake.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gaarry:
Yeah I know NoLock works, but I want to just wake, not wake, unlock, press a bunch of random buttons, buttdial, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] naria01:
Everytime I turn my phone on, it seems that I'm closer to getting the dreaded 'fingernitis'. Hurts just thinking about it

CyanogenMod 6.1 RC2 & RC3 let u use the track pad.

Sent from my G2 Rockn CyanogenMod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sk17z0:
I still tend to tap the track pad to wake my phone up then I remember I have to press the power button. I was so used to tapping the track ball on my G1. im getting better at remembering now. Im glad its like that so I dont accidentally press and make the phone wake up while in my pocket like what used to happen with my G1.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Archangel22:
How do you stretch the today wallpaper in the fuze? I can set it but its tiled, how do I make it centered or stretched to fit the screen?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Archangel22:
Ok I figured out the change. I changed the resolution for the pic to 480*640 and it works just fine now. Its stretched to the entire screen.

BUT I have a new problem

I now have task bar showing at the top when I lock my phone. The battery bar, carrier, volume icon, start button etc. How do I get rid of it?

Also how can I change the clock and unlock scroll bar between the top screen and bottom screen?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
So here is my problem...

3g is not working after installing a few roms, notably the 'New Guy ROM" and "Skyraider"..

It either doesn't connect at all, or stays stuck on 1x the entire time (VERY rarely 3g). Wifi still works fine. I have tried reflashing the same ROM different roms... right now the only one I can even get any data on is Redemption 2.1 (at 1x sometimes 3g).

I have tried updating the prl with *228, and have never had this problem before.. any idea's? Is my phone messed up for some reason? I didn't drop it or anything.. on the contrary, I treat it like a baby lol

*edit* I notice that whenever I try and use data, it turns of 3g- did I like over download or something?

& a little extra info,

I tried upgrading to the new 9.01 radio afterwards to see if it would work, which may or may not have made it worse... not sure lol

Also I think I accidently posted this in the wrong section! sorry =(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erik1213:
I've actually been having the same exact problem since installing SkyRaider 3.3. I'm about to try another ROM and if that does not work then going to try to go back to stock to see what happens. I'm really hoping I don't have to return my phone to Verizon because I really don't want to end up with an SLCD phone if it needs to be replaced.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
Ya I think the culprit here is the skyraider update packet or something... Not sure

That would be terrible if we had to replace it lol

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzman54:
This may be a longshot and is going to sound crazy, but try reverting your splash1 and bootanimation to stock and see if it fixes it. A few weeks ago I had the same 3g problems after installing a custom splash1 and boot animation (not sure which one caused it), but reverting them back to stock fixed it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joseph230:
SOD and random screen freezes has been bothering me almost always. I was reading all over the xda, different complains and strange solutions for them. I almost tried all of them and NONE is REALLY working (at least for me).

Recently I notice that when I wake up my phone (with yes button) after turning on, LCD immediately turns off. I mean after waking up the lcd, even if it is awake and responses to screen touch (even I can unlock it) but the LCD is off!!!! in this situation if I continue touching the screen it comes to life after couple of seconds and if not it goes back to sleep mode.

I wanted to see if anybody else has experienced same thing and If there is any solutions for it or not.

I assume you are using the auto backlight...

If so search the problem is discussed in the hyperdroid thread.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kntdookoo:
Hold up to a bright light when that happens.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobertsDF:
hold up to a lightbulb and then turn of autobrightness.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AMCJUNGLE:
Not only hold it up to a bright light, but once the screen comes back on go insto display settings and turn off the auto brightness. If our using hyperdroid you should try phiremod CM6
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cs378:
I had this problem. I also search xda to find solutions. The only thing that worked for me was to update to the latest radio. 2.15.50 if you havent tried that already

good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joseph230:
My Radio is 2.15 already.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joseph230:
I will try the bright bulb and turning off the auto balcklight to see wat happens. I hope it fix the problem. I will report back with the result.

Thank you everybody for the replies. I really appreciate it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] disrupt:
For EVO kernels, screen backlight turns off when brightness value is set lower than 30. Meanwhile the default lowest autobacklight level is 20. If you use a Cyanogenmod build, the levels can be adjusted, but the "screen dim level" cannot be set to values greater than 26.

The best solution would be lowering turn-off threshold in backlight driver to 20 or less.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joseph230:
Thank you.

I used the trick and when I turned the auto balcklight off, it seems that my problems are gone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joseph230:
Thank you , the tricked worked :)

About PhireMod, I switched to it and till now LATE WAKE UP time is gone. It is waking up very fast and normal. Of course it had the same auto backlight problem which got fixed by disabling it.

Also for me HyperDroid was not giving me bluetooth and it was causing the phone process to FC. But PhireMod successfully passed the bluetooth test and I am using it now.

Thank you again for hints and suggesting the PhireMod.

[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
So I was messing around in EPST and I discovered that you can disable the EVRC mode which should make the phone use 13k and get better call quality. So I went ahead and disabled the EVRC and voila! No more static and much clearer sound quality. I haven't read this anywhere else so I thought I would share. Let me know if it works for you. Maybe I'm just imagining things. Ha ha
[Droid Incredible General] thisguy23:
Here's your answer: forums.wirelessadvisor.com/general-wireless-discussion/13011-question-about-13k-vs-evrc-vocoder.html
[Droid Incredible General] ejdavis72:
Very good reading. I guess I will have to try it out for a while and see what happens. I looked in my old HTC Touch Diamond (which had great call quality) and it was set the 13k.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jimmydene84:
after i got my droid about a year ago, all i wanted to do was root it. I didnt read enuf about it and the effects of messing up, which i did and "bricked my phone".....so what happened, I was using an RSD lite method....very dumb and unplugged the phone to early (of course messing it up). Finally got it to boot back up and when i had to make the call to re-activate it my service was through U.S. Cellular!?! Took it to verizon, they said that was weird and tried to re flash it with their stock system...didnt work, they called their tech support still couldnt get it fixed. They sent me a warranty phone and didnt want or take the old phone back. It works just fine and i use it as my "test" phone. It is still on U.S. cellular service though. Dont eally need it activated but if anyone knows how, i would love to know??

:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jamezelle:
you could try flashing the 2.2 sbf on it via rsdlite, since its not bricked, or you could flash a verizon radio via recovery after rooting it. Flashing a verizon radio on it should reconfigure it to verizon's settings. Feel free to pm me to further discuss this. :)

edit: usually when they send you a warranty phone they want you to send the phone back within 10days to avoid being charged for it
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zifnab06:
Go into recovery, and there is an option to wipe the radio data

(i forget what it actually says)​

Try that. You might have just messed one of the parts of the radio by a small amount.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jamezelle:
where do you see that option? its not in clockworkmod recovery. under the advanced tab there are choices to wipe dalvik battery stats and report error of the recovery but that is all. also an option to record key gpio values.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
your answer is APN settings for internet but before you need to preform manual programing on your phone

Step 08:

Press the Home Key to exit out of programmig.

PROGRAMMING COMPLETE - device will restart automatically.

if you have any other questions send me PM w your phone number ill lookup info for you. I work for Verizon
[myTouch 4G General] hmarcus:
I'm on Tmo and there seem to be a flurry of high end devices; G2, myTouch, HD7, and Dell VP.

I'm in between the MT-HD and the Dell VP. I like the myTouch over the G2 because I don't like the bulk of a hardware KB and I like the FFC of the MT-HD. I favor the Dell over the HD7 for the AMOLED screen and the psuedo-exclusivity of it as it will only be sold online, like my N1.

So, which one is better?
[myTouch 4G General] HamNCheese:
Go for the MyTouch - WP7 lacks a lot of basic things, cut/paste among them. Also, no HSPA+ phones at WP7 launch, so you're better off with the faster device, faster network, and better all-around OS.
[myTouch 4G General] hmarcus:
I just don't understand why WP7 doesn't support HSPA+ pretty disappointed. I'm intrigued by WP7 in the way I am with a very hot girl, but who is dumb. Drawn to it despite my better judgment and I can't help it.

I just like the Dell hardware and WP7 is new and I'm a little bored of Android. Hopefully Gingerbread quells that.
[myTouch 4G General] Whosdaman:
Personally...from looking at the specs, and knowing the unrootable issue with the G2...I would definitively go with the 4G. Not only are you getting a great device....but the mobile data speeds are suppose to be double and nearly triple on this device.
[myTouch 4G General] ericc191:
While I'll be buying the Dell Venue Pro, I can tell you'd probably enjoy the myTouch 4G more.

Or you could do like me and just buy both, lol. I love Android too much to completely abandon it. Don't think I'll go with the myTouch 4G, though. Don't like the styling.
[myTouch 4G General] clivo360:
Just so you know, the dell won't be sold in t mobile stores.
[myTouch 4G General] hmarcus:
I know. It'll be sold Nexus One style, online only with tmo subsidy.
[myTouch 4G General] hmarcus:
The styling is the only thing wrong w the phone. Has all the latest hardware and assuming it can be rooted and have ROMs loaded on it, I think I can get past it. Although the red color they slowed on Engadget earlier this month does look pretty nice.
[myTouch 4G General] ericc191:
You honestly can't go wrong with either. It just depends on if you want to try something new and fresh or something you're familiar with and know what all it has already.

As for the Venue being sold online only, can you link me to where you read that? The reason I ask is cause USPS lost my G2 while I was trying to have it returned and I really don't want to order another phone and risk having it lost/stolen again.:(
[myTouch 4G General] hmarcus:
It's on any of the youtube previews and engadget, pocketnow, etc. I'd do you a greater service and link you to Dell where you could pre order one, but they have done little in promoting this thing so far and not even up for pre order yet. The only mention of the thing is on Dell's blog and there's no release date or pricing.
[myTouch 4G General] shizenyasuya:
thats how i feel about the mytouch hd/4g drawn in to the shiney, but unlike you i prefer a physical keyboard, but wtih the mytouch's slightly faster processor and front facing camera i have to wonder which is better for me in the long run.
