[Captivate Themes and Apps] netnerd:
google has 24 hours refund. is it really easy for refund? i wanna give navigon a try
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
I just returned mine a couple hours ago.

Typically, you get a notice right when you uninstall "Your account will be credited", or something like that, but I didn't. So it had me worried.

but in about 5 min I received an email from Google Checkout that my account would not be charged.

Its as easy as uninstalling the app.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jdsemler:
I decided to give it a shot. It never found me on my entire drive home. I'm running a fresh install (as of this morning) of Cognition 2.2 beta 9.1.3.

I told it to display map, and it just had some random map scene and a red bar across the top that had GPS in all caps. After a while, I hit the menu key, GPS-Info, and it has my Lat and Long at all zeros.

Not sure what to do other than take solace in knowing I'll have a working Navigon in my future Android handsets. I was too trusting of it and didn't test it within the initial 24 hours, so there's no refund button.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ewingr:
When I tested with it, it was a bit slow to get a hook, but I kicked off GPS Status, and it got a hook pretty quick, then Navigon did too. After that, the few times i used it, it hooked up OK.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] netnerd:
my complain is that it has no ROUTE listing! i probably going to uninstall it and get refund. let say i dont want to use freeway 101 and use freeway 80 instead. but you cant! cus there is no route listing!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
When I first put in my destination it gives me a list of 3-4 routes and I can select the one I want, otherwise after about 10 seconds, it defaults to the My Route (orange) one.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
Have you tried other GPS apps to get a lock? That is more like a phone/ROM issue than an app issue. Try Google Maps, or download GPS Status from the Market and try that one.

I'm on Cog 2.2 Beta 9 and it works here. If you turn on all the location assists in the settings, it should help you get a faster lock. You could also check out the Jupiter files in the Dev forum. Get v006 and copy the 3 files and reboot...it might help.

Some people have no luck getting a lock without messing with settings or files, and using a different app usually doesn't change that.

[HD7 General] Will101:
Just spoke to my local O2 shop (Maidstone) because the unofficial leather slip case I bought from them seems to be depositing black dye on the back of my HD7 :(

They were very helpful and said bring everything in, boxes, receipts and all. I said great, and just supposing you decided to replace my handset, what about the £16 odd I have spent getting it unlocked?

Their reply:

because you've unlocked the handset not through us, you've actually voided the warranty.

I pointed out that my issue is not with the handset but that the case they have sold me doesn't appear fit for purpose. They declined to voice an opinion but would make a decision when I've brought the phone and case in and they've seen it themselves. They did say they certainly wouldn't be refunding my cost of unlocking the handset whatever happens.

I've no issue with O2 for this stance if indeed it is their official stance but thought you all should know so you can factor it into your decision whether to unlock your handset.
[HD7 General] silverkiller:
thanks for the heads up
[HD7 General] colonel:
rubbish

never believe local shop staff

1. O2 will never know when you return it

2. its not a hardware or software modification, just like changing a setting, so no way can they refuse to honour a warranty

however its the height of cheek you asking to refund your unlocking cost. thats nothing to do with them (unless it was an O2 unlock)
[HD7 General] Will101:
That's great advice, I'll be sure to pass it on to them when I take my phone and case in and ask them what my options are...

At the end of the day, even if they refund the cost of the leather case and replace the handset, I'm still out of pocket. Why should I as the consumer be out of pocket because a product they sell has damaged or defaced one of my possessions whilst using it for it's intended purpose?
[HD7 General] xma1e:
The phone was provided locked and it was YOUR desicion to pay to unlock it. If you wanted a free unlock you should have gone to O2.

I do agree with the other posters that unlocking the phone does not void the warrenty, they may just be confusing this with a phoen that requires a ROM flash to unlock (as in older phones).

However I am suprised you expect O2 to pay for you going elsewhere tp unlock your phone rather than being patient and going through O2! Unfortunatly you have to take some responsibility for YOUR actions as you are expecting them to take responsibility for theirs.

It's a bit like buying a new shirt, wearing a couple of times and then taking it back to the shop for a replacement and expecting them to pay the cleaning bill for it too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
I noticed my htc evo has an issue. I dont know if its a bug... software glitch or what. But yeres the isuue, ill go to lock my phone.... and a text comes in right after, i go to unlock it and nothing. The lcd and sense buttons at the bottom light up. But most of the time i relock it and try to wake it up again, and it does that. It only happens to. Me in the mornings though. And i usually uave to lock and unlock tthe screen several times before i actually see my. Lock screen. It did this to me too when running the htc stock 2. 1 rom. Any tips fellow xda members?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
I found out why the screen wouldn't turn on somethings, from dropping the evo, the LCD plugs became lose, and having a cracked screen doesn't fix any issues, so I got it replaced and it always works now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowspeed:
You didn't think mentioning that the phone has physical damage is important for the first post?

hmm.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
Well along with cracked screen....I think that means physical damage from start. Doesn't matter now, I repaired my evolution. new screen and LCD for $40. So its all good now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewjulian:
Where did you get a new glass and lcd for $40!?! I was looking for a replacement whole top half of the phone, just in case,I have a white Evo and I'm pretty sure that if I break it they will give me a black one :-( Anyways, I have been shopping around and the cheapest I saw was $70, link please :-p

No link, just got the hookup at sprint. Sprints new policy changed and they replace the outter screen (digitizer) for 35$ flat rate. They inspect to see if it has physical damage inside, if not, they fix for 35 bucks.

iam experiencing a electric shock or tingling effect from the body of my htc legend when charging.it goes of when i pick it up.upon placing it on some surface the same effect returns.iam a new one here,is it a faulty handset.it is there only when charging. please help
[Legend General] marclh1992:
I'm pretty sure its a bad handset, a connector for charging the battery is exposed and touching the aluminum casing.
[Legend General] andrekua:
Your power source are not properly grounded.
[Legend General] driftcat:
its nt there when charging from my laptop
[Legend General] marclh1992:
Your laptop only charges at half the rate of the AC adapter, it probably still is putting current through the aluminum case, but you don't feel it.
[Legend General] driftcat:
how is that possible.im afraid
[Legend General] andrekua:
Well, thats because I had similar experience. I used to connect my phone to my laptop with AC adaptor (faulty battery) till one day when it was a goner, I bought a new slim OEM version which do not come with ground (2pin vs 3pin with grounding on stock adapter). Ever since, I have had electric shock whenever Im connecting to my laptop.

I have gotten electric shock when using the stock charger as well. The old wiring at my in-laws house probably the cause for it. It was okay at home.
[Legend General] driftcat:


So u r saying my phone is at fault or the wiring
[Legend General] marclh1992:
TL;DR, replace the handset.
[Legend General] driftcat:
Is anybody having the same fault.place the handset on a surface when plugged in to the power and rub Ur finger on to the metal part of Ur legend.

Members please see for urself.

"iam experiencing a electric shock or tingling effect from the body of my htc legend when charging.it goes of when i pick it up.upon placing it on some surface the same effect returns.iam a new one here,is it a faulty handset.it is there only when charging. please help"

Are you sure you bought an HTC Legend? Are you sure it's not a defibrillator?
[Legend General] nethopper:
Your phone is just fine, don't worry. The effect your are feeling on your skin is caused by the charger and has nothing to to with the phone. There are some unqualified posts in this thread (e.g. problem with wiring, charging current) which should best be ignored.

To the effect itself. The charger isolates the mains power from the secondary power through the use of a transformer. Also our new small power supplies work with transformers, but operate them at a higher frequency (sometimes audible) after the main power has been rectified. But the power supplies represent also an electric capacity, and therefore the secondary output may charge up relative to ground. But this capacity is so small, that you may feel a voltage on your skin but there is no risk whatsoever. By the way, the back of the finger is very sensitive. Try to move it along metallic surfaces of other device (e.g. desk lamp) and you may fell the electric potential. The only way to completely avoid this is to use a grounded power supply, like some used to charge laptops.

[Legend General] kabler:
yep. use groundod power supply. i have this thing when charging from my laptop and the laptop adapter is not properly grounded.

dont worry, its normal and negligible.
[Legend General] driftcat:
i contacted htc support.the person over there asked me to bring the handset to the service center.r u saying i should not take it there,and avoid the whole thing
[Legend General] nethopper:
Yes, keep your Legend and enjoy it...
[Legend General] k.mooijman:
If i had this problem i would most likely first try an other power adapter

if the problem is gone fine!!!

if not then i would send it to HTC service
[Legend General] mbedford:
I had the same problem for a while, changed the charger cable (Micro USB to USB-A bit) and it fixed it :)

Oh the comment about a difibrilator..........Nice!! :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cccy:
I have been using Darkstone' Android ROMS with no problems, but since I moved to the Froyostone Version 3.2, Android just freezes at the boot screen. I have did an upgrade, full clean install but it just does not work. Now, even going back to the older builds does not work ( They also hang at boot too ) . When it hangs at boot too, there are no error messages of any sorts. I have reformated my SD card, redownloaded the Android files, deleted the data.img files and even reflashed my Windows Mobile ROM. Also, I have left the phone on Android without a data.img to let it recreate a new one before use, but it still hangs ( I have left the phone untouched for nearly 14 hours ) . It just hangs at the boot screen. Anyone wants to help?

Gotta give more info to get info.

Welcome to the Forums! Interesting first post.
[Epic 4G General] ScientificOne:

[Epic 4G General] blulitespecial:
Uhhh.....walking a thin line man. Only if it's a legit ESN repair.
[Epic 4G General] egzthunder1:
ESN, IMEI, etc cloning and/or otherwise replacement is illegal in many countries, including the US (where XDA servers are located). The whole "but I own both phones" argument is invalid as well for the simple reason that it would be the equivalent of exchanging VIN numbers between two cars that you own (still illegal). This is just a small warning, but please don't ask for this kind of information again.

[G2 and Desire Z General] tehtide:
I'm having a bit of an issue when it comes to signatures with the Microsoft Exchange sync.

When I reply or reply all to an e-mail message using my Microsoft Exchange account on my G2 my signature isn't appended to the message. However if I create a new e-mail on my G2 using Microsoft Exchange then the signature is appended to only that newly created e-mail.

Is there a setting that I need to look at in the phone or would this be something in the Exchange server itself?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
For my exchange account (using Outlook) that is the default. Sig on new messages, no sig on replies. You can change that in the Outlook settings, and, my guess, is that change will become global, and work in OWA and on the Android.

Probably the easiest thing to do would be to use a computer to log into your OWA, and change it there. Then it should also be changed for Android, since all Android mail is is a front end for OWA.

Edit: I see what you mean is the signature that you add in Android, such as "Sent from my mobile."

It seems that they made the mistake of only appending sigs to new messages. This is stupid, as usually you want to reply with such a sig, so people know why you are not being detailed in your reply. There are third-party email apps like Touchdown that do this, but it seems like a glaring omission in their Activesync / Exchange support.

I'm using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution [kernel:hastarin R7.7]
[Desire HD General] nednapalm:
Hey all,

I was slightly disappointed with the slight stuttering playing back iPlayer on the DHD. Quality using flash10.1 better than iPhone and myplayer, but slight stuttering.

Anyway, I managed to figure out a way of making it run a bit smoother. When you have a video selected to start streaming, instead of choosing "Play Full Screen" - click on the smaller play button. This streams the video at a slightly lower quality, still better than myplayer, and comparable to the iPhone (had a 3GS next to it comparing quality). You can then click on the full screen button to enlarge.

Hope this helps people out.
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
since i saw some thread saying it can be rooted, means that we can flash it to a new rom say like HTC sense UI? (if there's any)

i like sense ui better than touchwiz, so i probably want one if it exist

would be appreciated if anybody knows a link to the rom also :D
[Galaxy Tab General] smnnekho:
I do not know of any roms for the tab yet.

Regarding sence i seriously doubt there will be a rom in the future since its not supposed to run on the tabs resolution. It wouldnt feel right anyways without beeing optimized fot tablet use, the widgets would be ridiculously big (tried with launcher pro widgets) (-:
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Sense would be fugly on the Tab :|
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
lol, fugly is it?

somehow i still see this one as a huge smartphone than a tab, yet

unless maybe the release of gingerbread will make it feels like a tablet more

anyway, the more the merrier

it wouldnt kill for someone to actually develop a different rom for 7inch tab, or maybe after htc actually release one of his own htc tab

thanks anyway ^^
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Before we get custom ROMs, someone needs to work out how to get a custom bootloader and/or recovery onto the device so we can write to the lowlevel filesystem. As of yet, this hasn't happened.

If you want Sense then I suggest getting LauncherPro Plus as their widgets are very similar to the Sense ones. You can also track down a copy of the .APK for "LovelyWidgets" which is a clone of the HTC flipclock. You won't get the in-app changes, but you can make the launcher look a lot like Sense at least.

Also, seeing how much work it takes people to port Sense between extremely similar devices (HTC Desire & the Nexus One for example), there would be a lot more work involved porting it to an unfamiliar system with a screen resolution that AFAIK doesn't exist on any other Sense-based devices, so as well as porting things, they'd need to rescale some of the graphics to make them fit which might not look too pretty.

If you want Sense, then you might wanna either wait until someone _maybe_ ports it, or until HTC release a tablet of their own, which is surely just a matter of time.
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
ah, i see

is launcher pro gonna affect my original system and i have to root my tab 1st to make it usable?

does it works well on 7" and tab res?

i'll google about launcher pro and see what they looks like, thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
The pro plus widgets are pretty ugly as well. In any case, something will come along shortly, just you wait.
[Galaxy Tab General] Justin^Tan:
well, since i failed to get my galaxy tab today, i'll wait for sure lol

only 1000 unit sold for today only and the line is up to car parking area, geez

gonna wait for when it touch the stores then

bad luck
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
No, you don't have to root your Tab to use LP. Just download it from the Market (when Google get's down from their high chair and fixes it so you can actually USE it...) and install. It doesn't replace anything. If you don't select default home, you can even switch between LP and TouchWiz with the Home button.

IMO, the LP widgets look good on the Tab, not "fugly" at all. I'm happy using LP+ as it is, but it will be better when LP manages to support the Tab more fully (using 5x5, 5x6 or perhaps even 6x7 grid of icons?)
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Can't you just increase the number of Rows & Columns in the settings?
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
Yes, infact I can. I tried that on the SGS and it looked horrible so I didn't try it on the Tab. However, after another member suggested that also, I tried and it isn't that bad. Infact it looks quite good and I'm now using a 6x5 grid on my Tab. So, thanks for the suggestion to the two of you ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] lospulpo:
Have you guys tried to change the LCD density on the tab? It makes everything smaller and gives it a high res look. That might look really good on the tab. On the galaxy s you can get rootexplorer and edit /system/build.prop there is a setting "ro.sf.lcd_density=240". When lowered to 180 or 200 on the galaxy s it makes it feel like a tablet and makes changing the rows and columns to something like 5x6 look alot nicer. One of y'all with the Tab should try it out and post back.

Oh yea you have to reboot after edit as well.

I do recomend using setCPU app to lock the device to it's max freq if you want to see the absolute highest score for your x10.
