Install titanium for root the free version. Click problems, download the busy box update (itz necessary) go to the app you don't want and just click uninstall. Will delete permanently if you are perm rooted. To get perm root, type in visionary apk r14 in google search bar, go to the 2nd link and download visionary, then click temp root, and after that is done click on perm root. Finished if you are not rooted, download visionary first, when you open up titanium backup, it will say asking for superuser permission click on allow

[Vibrant General] darkside79:
Ok, so why does the Vibrant have to run Media Card Scanner so dam much. When you turn the phone on.when you play music. When you open some apps. Ect. Drives me flippin nuts. So dam slow takes like 5 mins or longer some times. Even runs at random some times. Makes phone run slow. Man why? No other android device I have ever used or owned does this.whats the point? Seems even worse since the JI6 Update. And yes I tried the media rescan app in the market but made my Vibrant freeze up.sorry about me venting but geez it drives me nuts! That is all!
[Vibrant General] qzmp010:
On my vibrant the media scanner only runs after boot up & sd card re-mount, never randomly.

Delete the all the cached thumbnails in /sdcard/dcim/.thumbnails & that should decrease the scan time.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Yeah, I don't notice it except during bootup (of course) and when I take a picture (which it should)
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
search "rescan media" on the market.....this will cure your headache
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
When you write or delete a file to/from the storage, the phone does a full media scan.

If you work with files on your phone, download attachments, take pictures/videos/etc... It can end up media scanning a lot.

And it lags the **** out of the phone...
[Vibrant General] qzmp010:
it should NOT perform a media scan that often. I'm able to write & delete files w/o ever triggering media scanner.

I don't know the specific cause of the problem, so i can only recommend a backup, full wipe, and reflash of your firmware.

good luck
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
My media scanner goes off if I delete a file.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
Did you just update to a froyo rom? This happened when I went from fusion1.2 to.onyx r4.without odining to ji6. It happened only on boot but was taking an excessive amount of.time and sometimes.restarted. I.did.a.wipe.and odined to.stock ota and it cleared.the stale code.that was probably causing it.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
I can't belive the Dell Streak has been out nearly six months and we still only have one Chef!

The most awesome.... Stephen Hyde!

If it wasn't for this gent we would still be stuck with Dells own....which as we all know SUCKS!

I came from the HD2 where, after six months, there were about 20 Chefs and many many different ROMs!

Is this indicative of the Android cooking scene? On WinMo 6.5 devices there are always lots of Chefs and ROMs. On Android devices do you only usually get a couple of Chefs and ROMs? Is it harder to be a Chef on an Android device?

Anyway, I think we all owe Stephen a big round of applause and perhaps a donation for making our devices 500% better than when we got them!

(ooooo 666th post :))
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:
Absolutely!! Stephen is the man!!! I've owned the Streak for just a few days now, and I've already ditched Dell's own for Stephen's ROMs!
[Streak 5 General] fards:
do we need anymore?

the hd2 may have many "chefs", but most of them were doing nothing more than repacking files with a different theme.. YAWN

android tends to need a bit more nouse, ok its not hard to be a repackager, but to do something useful needs more skill than that.

I could also release roms, but tbh I'd rather help steve with his and have one good one.
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
Whilst I agree with what your saying, I have to say that there were quite a few 'core' Chefs, and the ROMs they were cooking were significantly different from each others. Buut yes you did get the blokes that had just downloaded a Kitchen and cooked their own programs/themes into it.

Being able to pick and choose between many diffrent ROMs pleased me somewhat :)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Not Android Development Please Post in the Correct Forum Thanks

Moved to General
[Streak 5 General] cu_ninja:
I've wondered about the dearth of chefs as well. Love DJ_Steve, no doubt. I guess this speaks somewhat to the low adoption of the Streak. Stupid Dell, you go and create an awesome phone but then you continually screw up the launch and everything after.
[Fascinate Accessories] preymond:
Hey everyone, i posted this at android central with no answer, though to see if you guys had any suggestions.

Just purchased an apple wireless keyboard to pair with my rooted (super clean + stupid fast kernel) fascinate. I've been looking around and saw that JP Bluekeyboard supports the apple wireless keyboard, so i gave it a shot..

well what do you know, it didn't work for me, everything on how to set it up goes great except that when i try and input, it goes "connecting" and straight to "disconnected".

anyone have any luck with this software or know of any other bluetooth keyboard applications?
[Fascinate Accessories] Florynce:
I don't know about the Apple Keyboard, but I was trying to get my wiimote to connect to my phone and found out that our phone doesn't support some bluetooth profile that is required for it to work. It might be the same deal with the keyboard.
[Fascinate Accessories] Benew0:
Bluetooth HID Profile

I did the same exact thing and after researching found that the bluetooth stack in the galaxy s series is a little different in that it doesn't include HID profile support aka no support for the wiimote or the apple blue tooth keyboard. Apparently they are looking to add this with the froyo update, but for me it couldn't come sooner.
[Fascinate Accessories] preymond:
yeah, i remember reading something saying cyanogenmod would enable HID, and of course cyanogenmod is based for froyo, and they don't seem to be willing to start working on something for the fascinate until froyo comes out...

so lets hope froyo makes this purchase not completely useless..

HURRY UP FROYO!
[Fascinate Accessories] lilmoney30:
The apple keyboard and the Wii mote will work with froyo, I had no problem using the keyboard on my Dx before I sent it back.

[Fascinate Accessories] dangerismymiddlename.com:
I wasn't able to get it to work either.

It was on-and-off again with my Windows PC. I found that the Apple USB keyboard is perfect for Windows. My wife bought me the Apple Bluetooth keyboard instead last Christmas, but it, sadly, doesn't work on anything that I own.

I definitely want to know if any of y'all get it to work. I was planning to keep trying, but based on the information here, it appears that my time would be better used somewhere else for now.

So I was looking at the g2 forums and it looks like apache 14 modded anykernel updater to work with eemc devices, would this be somthing that someone that would also help the mt4g kernel devs make their kernels flashable? As its a pain in the ass to have to use fastboot and zimage for kernel flashing as it ties u to a pc. Am I wrong in assuming that since he states for eemc devices that his mod is not device specific to the g2?

[Wildfire General] sandeep_dhameshia:
On front side, wildfire has two LEDs, on either side of phone speaker, on is for msg/call/charging and many, what is second for?
[Wildfire General] Aty01:
Hi,

On the Front one Led is the msg/call/charging etc, and the other is a sensor.

While calling someone,if you put the phone to your ear,it will go black as if it is switched on however if you pull it away from your ear it will wake up again. i think it prevents and keys being Unnecessary being touched / pressed..

but i`m not 100% sure

Hope that helps.
[Wildfire General] drioo:
True, also light sensor is for automatic brightness.
[Wildfire General] sandeep_dhameshia:
no, on right of phone speaker there is one sensor as well as LED.

sensor is for all what you guys said, don't know what's second LED for.
[Wildfire General] nemuro:
I hope you're not talking about the camera flash..
[Wildfire General] peca89:
On the left side of the speaker is green/red notification/charge LED. Two holes on the right side of the speaker are NOT LEDs, theese are sensors. The one closer to speaker is proximity sensor (locks the screen and turns it of during a call if it is close to your head) and the second one is light sensor (for automatic brightness) Install sensor list from market to test this

[Optimus One, P500, V General] raguida:
I bought an Optimus One in Dubai and it didn't came with android market (apparently it's blocked over here), so I rooted it and installed the vending.apk manually.

It opens but force close all the time, downloads never start and after a while it force closes... I've tried clearing the data and using market enabler but the problem persists.

Im new on android, anyone can help?

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mpanat:
Facing the same problem...

@raguida

Strange coincidence!! I also bought the Optimus One (P-503) from Dubai and facing the same problem of not having Android Market. For some strange reason, SLIDE ME is pre-loaded on the phone... but it cannot hold a candle to Android Market.

Can you walk me through the steps used for rooting it? Also, where did you get the vending.apk from?

Help from the gurus would certainly help leveraging the power of Android.

Thanks!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raguida:
Anyone has market running properly on Optimus One?

I've downloaded many vending.apk files the only one that actually installed is attached, but like I said even when it doesn't force close the downloads stuck on "starting download" phase...

Maybe it's not the proper vending.apk for this phone or for froyo... if any user have this phone with market running and can upload the apk it would be great...

To root it was really simple just follow the step by step video on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Good luck and let me know if you have better luck... I suggest you try to install the market before rooting bcs so far rooting the phone didnt help on anything and maybe in the end it's not even necessary...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I downloaded my market.apk from phone. It is actualized to last version. Maybe it will help maybe not. You will see.

Customized sw from Vodafone, Central Europe (LG-P500-V10a)

What about name of application? Can't be problem here?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raguida:
Thanks a lot, you version is much newer then the one I was using, unfortunatelly the FC still happens when I try to download or open the downloads tab... or maybe it's because of my version, it's V-10c...

Thanks anyway!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
It's strange. Maybe problem is not in application itself. Check it out.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
If problem is really in issue that Google's market doesn't support East countries you probably will have to flash one of original-one firmware from another country.

Which version of fw do you have?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raguida:
Not sure how i can check that, on "about phone" screen I get this: Kernel 2.6.32.9 Software version LGP503-V10c-OCT-19-2010

Thanks for the help... some friends have HTC over here with market enabled but only for free apps, if I get at least the free ones as well im happy...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
It will be fine check if P503 and P500 are same model with different ROMs. If so, then chose your original ROM and flash it into.

It have one problem - lost of warranty.

I've flashed the 10a version on the phone and now the market is running normally, I've lost my nDrive app with Dubai map but downloaded it again from the market and its all set now... Thanks a lot!

Don't want to abuse but there's 2 more questions, the phone is not rooted anymore, can I repeat the 1 click root process? And how can I delete some European apps that come on 10a version such Netlog?

Cheers!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
After re-flash you of course lost also rooting, because whole ROM was replaced. For rooting you can use same steps as before you used. (Super One click 1.5.5+ (PC app), z4root (android app), or configure via adb shell)

If is phone rooted, than you are allowed to delete what you want - also pre-installed apps. You can find this apps in /system/app but be careful what are you delete!!

Can somebody confirm this path? I'm not sure about this.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raguida:
Thanks for all the info... enjoying the phone much more now
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mpanat:

I've chosen 10a bcs mine was already showing 10c, but I think it was a modified version of 10c (without market), anyway 10a is working fine. Does the 10c version come with nDrive or you also had to download it again?

Have you noticed any missing apps from your previous version to this 10c you installed? Also there are any new apps other them market there?

Have you considered using LauncherPro to hide the apps you don't want accessed.. that would mean you have to use the search feature to open them...

I'm sure there's a way to make applocker load on boot by using a .sh file... although I don't know enough about it.
[Nexus One Accessories] OJ in Compton:
I have seen a few videos online, mainly with the dell streak, that show how an apple bluetooth keyboard works with android. Pressing F1 when paired with the streak brought up the menu button, will that work on the nexus one too?

I'm assuming the HID support in CM6 would let one work the same way on the nexus one, but is there any way to navigate the phone using the arrow keys on the keyboard? I guess it'd be similar to emulating a d-pad or a trackball.

If the implementation in CM6 can't, are there any apps that can?

Hi guys

I have a HD2 with the Stock ROM 1.66, all working fine until recently, where both my Gmail accounts are blank, every folder is empty, Send/Receive runs, Connecting > Logging on > looking for Changes > Updating Folders > Disconnecting.

No email is downloaded, Ive tried removing accounts and re-adding, checking the deletion and day threshold settings, and its still not download any at all.

The only thing ive done recently is installed SPB keyboard which ive removed, and the Excalibur Android Loader app, which is also now removed. I also changed a registry setting under HTC Album to ignore the .thumbnails folder, but nothing else.

Help!!

My Outlook sync probably works fine, but because i dont have a valid SSL cert on exchange yet, i cant test with that.

Thanks

Does your email account work fine via webmail?
[HD2 General] flashy:
works fine via webmail.

Okay ive found the problem after hours of investigation, the date was set to 2011 for some reason, so it was connecting and seeing no emails for that date!!!

Thanks
[HD2 General] mjmckool:
I'm having the same issue. It checks email and comes back with the current time as the refresh time, but doesn't show any new emails. I have found a trick that if I go into the settings for that mail account and just click through them without changing anything, it will receive the current mail. Unfortunately I have to do that every time I want mail from that IMAP email. The unfortunate side effect is that it also resets default settings for emial size and frequency.

Where was the date field that you are talking about above?

I just went to my phone's date/time setting and it was set to automatic from server. I toggled it to manual and back to automatic. Now it's receiving emails again. That may have fixed it. I'm a little skeptical as I have done little things here and there which will may it update and retrieve email once, but it never seems to work on its own without my tinkering with it. We'll see. If it is still working tomorrow, I'll report back here to let everyone know.
[HD2 General] mjmckool:
So I tried it again this morning and it isn't working again. So that wasn't it. Also, one correction to my last post ... my IMAP isn't empty it just won't receive new mail. I hit refresh and the sync symbol spins and then shows the current time as if refreshed but no new email pop in. It also does this so fast that it cannot possibly be logging in and checking before it returns with no mail. Still frustrated. Let me know if anyone figures this out.

PS - as additional info, I own my own domain and email hosting through Rackspace. Since my wife has the same setup (Domain and sakes rackspace account) I added her email to my phone and it works fine (tried over several days). So now I'm really baffled.
[HD2 General] mjmckool:
Solved! Android 2.2 stopped receiving emails (T-Mobile)

Solved! Android 2.2 stopped receiving emails (T-Mobile)

Ok, I have spent countless hours researching and troubleshooting this and I think I have the solution. Apparently, Android's native email software has difficulty with certain things, "Flagged" emails being one of them. I.E. those emails you flag different colors to follow up on later.

I have tried everything I could find on the issue and this seems to be what worked for me.

Background (Just in case this helps you):

Phone: T-Mobile HTC HD2 running Android 2.2 NAND

Issue: Email worked fine on multiple accounts for over a year on this phone, then one day one of my personal IMAP account stopped receiving emails. Gmail and my Exchange accounts still worked fine. However, my IMAP account would say it is "Syncing/Refreshing Messages" and come back with the current time stamp, but would not pull in any of the new messages. My only work around until now was to run through the email account setup for Incoming mail server, Outgoing (SMTP) mail server, etc. Then it would work, but only once. If I wanted my new mail again, I would have to repeat that process. About a day or so before I began having issues, I had flagged several emails for future follow-up. I read a post that mentioned that in passing so I tried it. I went into Outlook and unfledged all the emails I had flagged.

Solution: Un-flag all emails in your INBOX. Then wait 4-12 hours.

NOTE! At first it didn't work, but after a few hours I started getting my emails and have been getting everything fine since (last 48hours). I guess it takes time to propagate in the system or something.

I hope this helps!
