[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] OldCoastie:
I did request another phone from Asurion. It arrived today with a dead mic. I couldn't be heard on a call unless I fired up Bluetooth. So much for Asurion quality control.

I just got back from my local Sprint repair center. They replaced the microphone and all is well. I hope this phone lasts forever cause I do not want to go through setting up another phone.

Thanks everyone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djodpm:
I dropped my G2 a while back and the screen cracked but still worked fine. I just got the digitizer replaced today, which I ordered on eBay and had installed locally. Everything works except for the auto-rotate function. Here is what I've tried:

Settings-->display-->auto-rotate screen is checked

I did a factory reset of the phone

The phone rotates to landscape mode ONLY when I use the keyboard

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznsnake666:
Just throwing this out there but try going into Cyanogenmod settings>user interface> than scroll towards the buttoma nd see if 90 and 270 is checked. Might help and maybe try a game that uses the accelerometer to test if yours is broken? Not a expert on this kind of thing but just my advice to see if you track the source of the problem. And i am only assuming that you haev cyanogen
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djodpm:
Thanks for the info, not rooted right now though.

Just went into Google Sky Maps and it doesnt rotate at all. Is there anywhere in settings to calibrate the accelerometer? Wondering if it's a problem with the new digitizer I got...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daughain:
I've had a similar prob with 2 NIB G2's. It showed up after the OTA, Pre OTS, everything was fine, after, landscape only works with certain apps and games. I just live with it for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piruzinho:
i'm bumping this. i am not rooted (yet) and have this same issue. wondering whether to do a factory reset or no...?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BiMU:
I purchased the Desire Z/G2 3 days ago now and I believe that the auto-rotate feature was first working on the home-screen. Now after 3 days it doesn't auto-rotate on the home-screen, but is fine with all other apps.

Is this a common problem as I feel to return the handset. I've already performed a hard reset but to no avail :(

Has anyone fixed this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Desire Z or G2? The software is different, so you need to tell us which one you have.

If its the Desire Z, the Sense home screen does not auto-rotate (by design), and you are remembering it wrong (but it will rotate when you open the keyboard). Don't know about the G2, since I own the DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BiMU:
Thanks Redpoint. I own the Desire Z, I managed to install an ADW theme and the auto-rotate feature seemed to work. So you are correct...wow my memory is alluding me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesilence1:
I'm currently traveling outside the us and my phone is always connecting to Fastlink (which is now Zain). My phone wont pick up Zain and I'm having problems with data, it connect once to another works no problem then switch back to Fastlink. I was wondering if there was to enable the network operators to manually change it. or can change the data type? I'm in Jordan.

thx for the help

follow the unroot thread to revert to stock, get it back to post-ota and reroot ur device. before u get all fancy after that, be sure to make a nandroid backup!

why would you do all that? if you want back to stock, just flash my stock w/root rom.

I have s-off and can use root-only apps and can create and restore nandroids - but when I try to flash a rom I automatically get boot loops

I'm totally new to the Evo - having just gotten it yesterday - but I have been flashing roms on the Hero for a while -

Any tips on what roms should and should not work - I dont know how important the hardware versions are - so anything on that would be great
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
What steps have you taken to flash the rom? Are you wiping correctly? Take a look at the link in my sig, that whole thread is useful, but I spell out the process step by step on how to flash your first Rom after rooting. It may be useful to you, even though its tailored to those with no android background. As far as I know, you shouldn't be restricted to specific roms.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Thanks man - yeah - I will check that out - I figured I shouldn't be restricted but I thought I would ask the dumb question to get it out of the way - I actually just loaded the sprint lovers rom - for now - just to ensure that worked - via bootloader -

I think I'll play around with a bit more later - after I try this rom out -

Thanks for the tip on the link
[Droid 2 General] floobmonsrake:
I have had my droid 2 for only three days and i recently went on vacation to a place with not the best verizon signal but is not terrible. My 3g is stable but my bars keep seemingly randomly shifting signal strength. sometimes ill have 1 bar and then 10 seconds later it will be at 3 bars for a little bit and then go to 2 bars and back to one. It just never stays at the same signol. I fear im not getting the reception i should be.

Is this normal or does my droid have reception problems? I have read that some droids were expirencing problems with signal. Is mine one of them? Engadgets review said they were expirencing unstable connections but it seemed to pertain more to 3g.
[Droid 2 General] hophead75:
I have noticed the same with the fluctuating bars but don't seem to have reception issues or data connectivity problems....so I havent worried too much about it.
[Droid 2 General] floobmonsrake:
Ok thanks for your opinion. I suppose its not a big deal as long as i still have a connection.
[Galaxy Tab General] tungtle:
So I just returned my Verizon Tab at Best Buy today, having it for about 11 days, I exchanged it for the Sprint Tab instead. I do like the white cover instead, fingerprints are less visable, and no more V Cast, V Apps crap anymore. Sprint one does seem snappier, reboot to ready to use was significantly faster in my eyes.

Anyways.

When I had the Verizon version, the main home screen was #4 out of 7 windows. Which I liked because it was in the middle. Now that I got my Sprint version, its 'main' home screen is #1 out of 5, 6, 7 windows. I'm trying to figure out how to make the 'main' home screen say something like #3 out of 5.. but can't figure it out, is there a way to re-arrange the 'main' home screen??
[Galaxy Tab General] dougvan:
Not sure with the default one it ships with. I downloaded and installed LauncherPro and use it as my home screen. Found it to be more responsive and "snappy" compared to the stock home app.
[Galaxy Tab General] shoman24v:
I can't figure this one out either.
[Galaxy Tab General] D4rk4n63l:
try this.. tap the menu button on the home screen and choose "edit"

When I did it on mine, I can create, delete and move pages in the home screen
[Galaxy Tab General] msgfromside3:
That still doesn't move the 'main' screen. I have tmobile and I have been trying to change it as well (prepfer 3 screens instead of 5), but I cannot find any setting.
[Galaxy Tab General] slopokdave:
Can you pinch to zoom out from the home screen, the tap, hold, and move the screens?
[Galaxy Tab General] tungtle:
You can do all of that, but it won't set the 'main' home screen, you know, when you hit the home button twice
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
There's a few tools on the Market which will let you change your TouchWiz homescreen, they were made for the Galaxy S phones, but they'll work on your device. Look for SGS Tools, or Galaxy S Tweaker, or something like that.

Most Galaxy S tweakers don't **** with it though, they just move on to a different launcher. I know I did. Only thing I use TouchWiz launcher for is to fire up the MTP (Kies) USB connection.
[Galaxy Tab General] tungtle:
anyone find a factory solution?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
Ok so I'm still running into the same issue I had with kernels before. It seems like anything I want to flash onto my phone now causes a constant lock up at the red eye screen and then an infinite boot loop. I can't even get a different theme on there without running into this issue. I must have flashed my recovery image like 5 times today. I even just did a basic factory reset from the inside the regular settings menu and it caused this boot loop. Should I be worried at this point?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
Ok so 51 views and not a single suggestion??? :( Come on XDA I'm sure someone knows something
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
You know I ran into something similar and just for the sake of not being frustrated I knew of one that liked me, liked my phone, liked my ROM. I just stuck with it. Plain ol' gave up trying the latest and greatest kernel. It will make your head blow up if you keep fighting it trust me. BTDT

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I wasn't even doing kernels though, these were just themes. :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
I've had that happen too. It maybe that the themes were designed for a specific rom version and that is the problem. I has some that were the correct Rom name just a different version. I was on 3.2 and it was for 3.1. Don't know why but some phones are just finicky.

ps. I meant different phones not as type or model, but your's vs. mine. Something I found out when I started rooting my phone.

[General Questions and Answers] jervill:
If I can extract the Facebook for HTC Sense .apk and transfer it to my permanent rooted T-Mobile G2 (HTC Vision) running stock 2.2 android, would I be able to install it and use it on the phone even without HTC Sense? The only thing I want out of the Facebook for HTC Sense application is the ability to upload pictures and immediately tag people.

I am willing to try this out to see for myself if it works, but would like to see if anyone has already done this before I attempt this potentially fruitless/dangerous endeavor. :p

Also, I'm hoping to do the same for the HTC Camera. Is it possible to install the HTC Camera on stock 2.2 android simply by transferring and installing the .apk?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] KayakJim:
I have been wondering the same thing myself as I would like to take the weather and facebook sense apps from my HTC Incredible and put them on my girlfriend's LG Ally.

I'm not sure if the *.apk for the particular app is all that is needed or if there is a sense "framework" that is also needed.
[General Questions and Answers] jervill:
Didn't work

For those who are interested, I tried it and it did not work. I got an error after clicking [Install]. Based on other posts, the applications do need the "Sense Framework" to work properly.

It looks like there are some tweaks that can be done to get certain applications running (like I know the Desire camera was ported to the Nexus on a MoDaCo ROM) but I'm not sure if this is possible for all apps. It's definitely beyond my knowledge at this point.
[General Questions and Answers] KayakJim:
@jervill, Thank you for taking the time to post that information.

[General Questions and Answers] gbdssd:

ffxiv gil
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I hate to sound like a pessimist, but don't bother. HTC applications are waaaay to dependent on the Sense framework and won't run (mostly won't even install). It's not like Touchwiz, which is just another apk you can install on any phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Would anyone recommend using this battery rather than the one it comes originally with the device?:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/DESIRE-Vision-High-Capacity-Battery/dp/B004ARTND4/ref=pd_cp_ce_1_img
[G2 and Desire Z General] jark99:
hmm seems legit, alot of people are using those red hong kong batteries and reporting good...its worth a shot, i believe you would have a higher battery life with this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CWolfCW:
Don't believe the hype: http://batteryboss.org/

Most batteries that are only a little more than the default are generally useless. The only useful ones are the huge, significant jumps like from 1300mah to 2500mah or something. A jump of 200mah will make nearly no difference due to inefficiency.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
It's also rather common for the capacity claims of those third-party batteries to be somewhat - erm - optomistic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Exactly, simply look at good Branded AA rechargables and then compare to those oem ones, you will notice that all good branded state real capacity, while those cheaper ones state capacities that are not realisting, probably even not possible to produce, simply because if it was possible, then Energizer, Duracell, Sanyo would be offering them, but they are not.

So I bought second battery for my Z which is genuine, simply because I think those batteries have to be better, somehow verified by HTC, because it's in HTC interest for the battery to las as long as possible. So it's safe to assume you can't pack more power into the same package, anything advertized for 1500 has to be either 1300 or even less (cheaper components).

The only replacement battery that worked for me before was extended battery double in capacity and also double in size for Touch Pro2, it came with custom back cover. It really lasted londer that 2x smaller one.

I have invested in Micro USB Portable Emergency Charger Fit HTC Desire Z :D It holds 1500 MAh. Haven't tested it yet, just charged fully.
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Thanks for the info guys then I think I won't be buying this. Highly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
Kindly give us a feedback on your findings about the portable charger.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Underclock to lowest for screen off

Control sync times (can still use auto)

make sure you turn screen off when not using the phone

then you can easily get at least 24 hours use from it without the need for a bigger battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
If I had no morals, I would source some cheap batteries from China that were clearly over-rated in terms of their capacity (or get some made up like that, with a higher capacity printed on than they really are), and then sell them on eBay with that over-inflated capacity.

I'm sure the number of batteries returned would be minimal, because it's so hard to really "prove" that the capacity is really less than that indicated.
[Legend General] im_iceman:
Hi All,

Updated my missus's Legend to 2.2 today and ran a Quadrant Benchmark test on it..

best of 3 was 903 (avg is about 860)..

What are you getting on 2.1... and what sort of scores are you getting on the custom ROM's out there?

Post your scores stating which ROM you're running..
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Clean Eclair, 2.1 = 4XX-5XX

Azure, 2.2 = 8XX-9XX

Cyanogenmod RC2, 2.2.1 = 8XX-9XX

Never benchmark a Sense ROM before so I cannot provide such information.
[Legend General] idoru78:
Best of 3 was 365 on unbranded 2.1 update 1
[Legend General] Rapier:
Constantly above 1xxx with CM RC1/RC2 and OC787 kernel...but that's normal since it's overclocked
[Legend General] gallery:
My result was 387 on 2.1 update 1 official Rom
[Legend General] polarn:
Using a normal 2.1 legend, benchmarked three times... 377, 332 and 361. Even more anxious to get froyo now then! :)
[Legend General] Skardy:
Fixed.... :)

Sense 2.1 was 3XX (4XX with OC)

However, even going from 3XX to 8XX (CM6.1) I did not see any speed improvements in games. OC DID improve the speed:)
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
You cannot get 11XX without OC'ing.
[Legend General] Skardy:
Right I forgot to specify :)
[Legend General] andrekua:
First run on rooted Sense Froyo was 915. Second run was 870. Third was 927.
[Legend General] no0neX:
I'm sorry Sir, but are you ****ing-kidding-me? With almost stock 2.1 i had ~380. With azure 1.0.x now i have ~460.
[Legend General] callmewind:
I have not programmed anything in android yet, but I know programming java for some years and I think that I can tell you why those spectacular benchmarks doesn't apply in most games.

The improvements have been made in the dalvik virtual machine, which is responsible for executing the java code of the applications.

But if programmes want more performance, they can write part of the program directly in native code, developed in C or C++. This code cannot be optimized (more), thus applicacions using JNI massively don't see any improvement.

I suppose many games should be using JNI because of the advantages in performance, so they're already 'optimized'.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong :)

--Edu
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
I'm sorry Sir, but are you a ****ing kid? Let me try to be as nice as possible here. Do your homework before you bash other people. Go to the respected ROM's thread, or the OC thread and look around for other peoples results. That is the average result. 4XX on Azure? Seriously? Throw your phone to the wall and maybe that'll boost the Quadrant scores.
[Legend General] evank418:
I'm with you my friend. Some people are just ignorant.
[Legend General] Skardy:
Raja, the avarage Azure scores are 4XX because JIT is actually disabled in that rom, even though the option present and checked.
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Actually it is enabled. I asked Ali about it before. But then again that was few months ago, I might be wrong.
[Legend General] Skardy:
Sorry my bad.

Seems like JIT was disabled only until Azure 0.6.

However I can confirm that my Azure 1.0.1 quadrant score was 4XX (which is kind of low...), and as I now have 1095 with CM6.1 I don't think theres a problem with my legend's performance.
[Legend General] versifier:
Sorry for the newbie question, but.. how do I run a Quadrant Benchmark ?

I know these numbers refer to the performance, and that the 2.2 scores a lot better, but in actual everyday usage - battery life, speed etc. what does this practically mean?
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
No worries mate. Seriously? The last time I used Azure I got around 8XX. That was version 1.0 I think.

Install Quadrant and run it. Well, technically it is just numbers. But most of the benchmarkers do admit feeling the difference between lower and higher scores. Some say those are placebo effect, but meh. I don't buy that ****.

ran shortly after the FOTA upgrade:

Quadrant: 859 (at 600MHz)

Linpack: 6.9 ~ 7.7

I can't notice any difference in speed on my phone since I updated to 2.2 about an hour ago, it seems - on the contrary - slower than before.

3rd try: 622

Also the live wallpaper with grass is laggy like hell...

The phone is relatively new and I've never done anything that voids the guarantee of it, should I be worried?

[Epic 4G General] fhurricane:
Hi all. I got my phone about 1 1/2 months ago, and I always thought that my phone charged slowly. I remember one time when using 4g and connected to the wall charger, it only added about 1-2% after 2 hours. Recently, there are some times when I go to charge after a day and the phone tells me "battery not connected" and the battery icon on the top bar flashes red. I also have a battery widget which says failure whenever this happens.

Is this an issue with the battery or the phone? Is this something that can be fixed by samsungs warranty? My 30 days are up.
[Epic 4G General] fhurricane:
I forgot to mention that after turning the phone off, taking out the battery, and turning it back on, all the phone appears to be fine. The problem comes back eventually, though.
[Epic 4G General] fhurricane:
Does anyone have an answer? Does anyone else have the same problem?
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Sounds like a hardware issue. :D
[Epic 4G General] p-niiice:
That's a problem with the battery. I ordered the chinese batteries from Ebay and one of the batteries never connects - it can only be charged through a wall charger. Try a new battery and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G General] fhurricane:
Ok, should I try to contact samsung for a new battery, or should I just go ahead and buy a new one? Is the battery covered by warranty?
