Anyone else get this bizzare ICON next to their signal and battery on the top bar?

It just popped up a few hours ago in between wifi and the signal bars.

It looks kinda like this:

o\~

Except the "~" is more of a sideways "L".

The HTC website is useless on the Desire Z. I have figured out it's not voicemail notification, email, facebook etc. I killed all other programs running and it's still there.... :confused: Hasn't done anything but I can't figure out what it is!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Ah ha! It's "silent mode". :p

NM! no idea how I turned that sucker on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] J.Coffey:
I know this is a pretty retarded question but I did some googleing and found nothing on the desire z about sideloading and I'm not sure if following the steps for another phone would be a good idea. I was also wondering about getting rid of the bloat ware, what kind of apps do I need to do that and do I need to sideload those apps?

This is my first android phone. My last phone was a palm pre and all their homebrew stuff was very simple and put into 1 app you can download and get everything from (apps, overclocking, themes and custom kernels all from 1 place) so this is kinda big step because it seems to involve a lot more then 2 or 3 taps on a screen.

Thanks for any help you can give a newbie!
[G2 and Desire Z General] CarlGalgano:
if you search you will see some info about how to remove bloatware, but its not pretty (IMO) and I think you need to root your phone.

As for side loading, if you go to setting>applications>manage applications there is a check box that allow you to load apps from any source. Just be sure its checked. I downloaded an app (TN5250 emulator) from www.mochasoft.dk and it installed just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] J.Coffey:
After you downloaded it did you have to move it to the SD card? Or are you able to download right to the phone?

Edit: Also, does anyone know if you can install stock android? What benefits would you get from doing so? The only thing I would care about is not having 40 pre loaded useless app/shortcuts. A few of them are uno, tv & radio, tunes & apps, twitter, superuser, search people (i can just go into people and press the search button, what is the point of this undeletable sortcut?), peep, navigation, lets golf, learn more. This is an awesome phone but there are so many useless things added and it makes it hard to find the handful of apps that I would actually use. Some of these "apps" are just shortcuts to webpages, why do I need this and why can't they go away?!

I'm on froyo right now and I'm having trouble getting voodoo to work and overclocking isn't working either so I just want to start back at 2.1, any help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Take a hammer to your phone.

Only kidding. I'm going to assume many things here because you left out some info. You said you didn't have voodoo working. Can you verify that? Run a quadrant test. If its a low number, as in under 1000, voodoo is off and you can simply download the Odin one click for 2.1. You will have to search for it yourself.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InobleI:
Haha thanks man, and no when I try to install voodoo, it doesn't get past the recovery screen when its re booting
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
So if Voodoo isn't installing, just simply reflash back to stock (Odin One Click JF6) and attempt whatever you're doing all over again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InobleI:
Works like a charm, thanks man

This is a HD2, it's no Android mate!

Probably some application you installed or a customization you have done. You could try a Hard-Reset (YOU LOOSE ALL DATA). The phone will be back to factory mode again.

You can do this by going to Manila settings >> menu >> more >> system >> clear storage (about... cause I had to translate it).

Dear sir, I have purchased Samsung galaxy i9000 on 10/09/2010. Battery backup is very low in that mobile. I have given my mobile to Samsung authorized service centre for inspection. They kept the mobile with them for 2 days and told me that problem is only with battery. Later on they gave me new battery. After using the new battery also i am having the same problem. My mobile is taking nearly 4 hours for 100% battery charge. If i start using the mobile i am losing 1% battery for every 3 mins. How to solve this problem?

Hey guys,

I installed Pocketshield, then unistalled it a while later.

Now when I am on a call, I don't get that half screen slide that comes up to protect the buttons. The proximity sensor works, and the screen turns off/black.

I am missing the half screen slider that covers speaker, note etc etc

Can anyone help?

There is a ...lock... under the start menu that I had to delete for Pocketshield to work, maybe that was it.

Thanks for any help.

Is there any way to rename a launcher icon? Not make a custom shortcut for it like Bettercut or Desktop Visualizer, but actually modify the name of the Launcher shortcut in TouchWiz. I love the MIUI Browser, which I now always use, and I want to get the TouchWizGTG 5 Icon Mod, but the MIUI Browser's name/label won't fit into it. I want to rename it to Browser (and distinguish from the original by icon) so I can fit it into the dock. Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!

[Wildfire General] DestX:
The wait for Android 2.3 could be over quite soon.

"Prepare your Nexus One (developer version) for Android over-the-air update 2.3 (Gingerbread) for the next few days," according to a translation of a tweet in Spanish sent yesterday by Alvaro Fuentes Vasquez.

It can't be immediately confirmed that Vasquez or his prediction is for real. However, Vasquez states on his LinkedIn page that he's been a member of the "leadership team and usability" for the Open Handset Alliance for the past two years. His blog seems to back up his credentials as a developer. And no one has cried foul yet on the original blog post regarding Vasquez's tweet or in an Android forum.

Neither Vasquez nor Google immediately responded to request for comment.

The comments made by Vasquez follow recent rumors suggesting Android 2.3 would be released on November 11. Those rumors say the version known as Gingerbread will feature an improved design, rather than deliver a slew of new features for the mobile OS. However, Gingerbread is expected to deliver WebM support and better copy-and-paste.

Until we see Gingerbread launch or hear from Google, though, consider this a rumor.

And the wildfire doesn't even (officially) have 2.2 froyo yet.
[Wildfire General] mpattonm:
Does anyone know what new features it will introduce?
[Wildfire General] DestX:
Nope, it's technically a 'rumour' at the moment but it just shows HTC has their priorities elsewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pnyboy27:
i know this might be an overplayed question, but i am quite new to this and have tried searching all over the threads as well as the web. how do i get the notification bar to be black?

i have tried several different things with no success. i have rooted my phone with visionary, and also downloaded metamorph, andexplorer, busybox installer, and pretty much anything i needed to try to get it black.

i tried checking out this thread (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=783977) and downloaded the necessary zip files for the one i wanted. i was looking at the desire wifi(the one with the percentage number as the battery). i downloaded the zip and used metamorph to apply it, my phone restarted and my background changed, but no success to my status bar. please help! i am wanting the black status bar desperately! a step by step tutorial would be very helpful..and im sure other people in the future would benefit greatly from it. thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z General] pnyboy27:
I'm guessing no help on this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Now that we're rooted, it will only be a matter of days or weeks. Nothing is out for a black notification bar for the G2 yet, but with Cyanogen and his crazy color customizations in CyanogenMod6, we'll have all the customization we need as soon as CM6 is out for the G2.

I can't wait! :cool:

thank you! it worked.....for a bit. now im having restart issues. i was able to see it once, then it restarted and got stuck on the g2 boot screen. i have to remove the battery in order for it to resume and have my phone working again. which then it reverts back to the white bar. any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
You could put the desire z rom on there. That allows you to change the color of the bar.

i would have to perma-root it in order to do that, wouldn't i? and where would i get the desire z rom?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Opera Mobile 10.1 for Android was released on the Market today.

Works on the Tab and seems pretty good so far - however on my Tab it won't start in portrait mode. If you have the same problem, switch to landscape and you'll be fine. Once it's loaded, you can switch back to portrait.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] daniel.weck:
Oh, I didn't try landscape mode ! Thanks for the tip (off to re-install the app now...)

EDIT: it worked. However I find the font spacing/kerning excessive, the blurry text transitions whilst zooming are highly distracting, and the small text size + lack of adaptive layout rendering (column width auto resizing) means that I am promptly uninstalling Opera now (on the plus side, it loads pages pretty quick...albeit without any Flash capabilities as far as I can tell). Dolphin HD and xScope remains my favorite web browsers, by a long way.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Yep, no flash, few settings, no text wrapping, dodgy Java rendering... a dissapointing beta.

Type "opera:config" in the address bar to access advanced settings for this browser.

[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
So OK we started this aria 2.2 project and we have gotten this far we are happy ^^ also with that we also ported a 2.2 legend rom which we were thinking of doing as well but after having both running we only had camera and bluetooth to fix on both xD anyway after having both running we realise we might as well stick to eclair sense there is absolutely no difference except the 2.1 sense is faster and that one is a different build number there is NO difference at all xD so we have decided to stick to 2.1 as it is much better ^^ so as of today this project is being shut down if any devs want to carry on with 2.2 be my guest :D but don't worry 2.1 shall continue and get faster :D and hopefully we will do a 2.3 when it's out :D gingerbread that is lol

PS: Pls don't argue about me closing the sense froyo 2.2 rom im also not happy but what I say above is true so it's more logical and the smarter option to create a better chain and better roms lol also infcat in the time i've been here must be over a year this is the first time I believe I have ever closed a thread bar the donut exception cause of a few ppl lol

0o fastest rom the 2.2 sense 0o xD anyway atm still fixing and making faster thought we found a better 2.2 rom that everyone will now where it came from when it was out but seems to be giving trouble xD this one still going just taking more time then it was expected too want the next release to be perfect :D well near enough xD get it out of the beta's I say :D will be a lot different ^^

Cool, can't wait. Only reason i went to 2.1 is because of the broken camera lol.

hey xillius, have you given thought to making a vanilla rom with sense theming? thats what im using and i get functionality with looks.....

um you mean like a froyo stock with sense theme 0o?

have thought about it depends how many people would like one ^^ id make it from T-Mobile froyo ofc xD

id have to at least theme the launcher to sense lol would also be launcher pro xD
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
yeah, like right now im running cyanogens 6.0 (android 2.2) with a few tweaks, it feels just like sense....the only difference is behind the scenes, e.g. facebook contacts are synced through the facebook app instead of facebook for sense along with a couple other things
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
xD why don't you make a sensed themed froyo stock rom then ^^

[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
@artmkiss

i dont think this is the answer to everything going wrong on your phone but the text file is very important.....you need to open notepad, or somekind of text writer on your computer and type out "mtd 151 2" (without the quote marks of course) then save as and name the file as "mtdpartmap" (also without the quote marks), and make sure the format is .txt

save that to the root of your sdcard, the very top folder

then wipe everything (not EXT if you dont want to), flash the FR_recovery zip folder, then wipe again, reboot to recovery, flash the rom, flash the FR_boot zip folder, and restart

if you have anymore problems, feel free to come back and ask

Thanks for Reply

i put the Textfile "mtdpartmap.txt" with "mtd 151 2" in it on the root of my SD (without the quote marks).

My G1 is currently running the Cyanogenmod 6.0.0.

Witch FR_recovery.zip should i use ?

i found this on google: h t t p://w w w.mediafire.com/?lifib6a9ptj5j#3,1

are these the right files ? My G1 is a 32B , should i take the B-version of these files ?

And what about the "1. Head over to Firerats MTD page" ? i really don´t know what i have to do.

i had tried this instructions several times.
