[Desire HD General] raw235:
iam the only one who has the problem that he accidently hits a touch key while using the phone or playing a game? every little contact triggers the keys. i.e. if i use the thumb to type a message, holding the phone in the right hand, i sometimes trigger the search key.

my idea is to make it harder to trigger these keys. as they are part of the touchscreen, it sould be possible to do anything that can be done with the touch sreen. my ideas:

1. double-touch; tapping the key 2 times (like a double-klick) triggers it once

2. sweep; i.e. you touch the home-button and sweep out of it, then release. can be even harder with sweeping out and back in.

3. circle-touch; making a little circle over the button triggers it.

other ideas welcome.

---------------------------------

2nd problem: easier unlocking;

i feel it sometimes tricky to unlock the pone, wich is done by pressing the powerbutton at the top of the phone and sweeping on the bottom of the screen. the phone is'nt very small (or i have small hands). if iam holding the phone at the bottom, i can nearly reach the whole touch area with my thumb, but to unlock, i need to use my 2nd hand or to juggle the phone so i can reach the power button with the right hand. with the G1, which had a menu button at the bottom, it was just double-pressing that button and the phone was unlocked. iam looking for a similar easy way to do it.

its just annoying to take the phone out of the pocket and use both handy or juggle around to unlock it...

i dont know it it wastes additional energy to have the touchscreen active, so it can be used to unlock the phone. so my ideas:

1. use the touchscreen to unlock; i.e. draw a pattern, press the bottom key in some order (home, back, menu to unlock)

2.1 use the volume keys. if the screen is disabled, they are used to change the audio volume (or is that only the case, if music is playing?) When holding the phone at the bottom with the right hand, the volume-down hey is easily reachable. so you can do volume-down (which activates the screen) and then slide on the screen like you would do if you have pressed the power button. pressing volume-down with deactivated screen does not change the volume, but pressing it twice does (i.e. 1st press unlocks the screen and 2nd press takes volume down).

2.2 press vol-up and vol-down at the same time to unlock the phone. if i do that the phone vibrates sometimes, no idea why.

3. use acceleromater (or a other sensor?) to unlock, i.e. shaking the phone in a special way (i.e. a circle), activates the screen, so you can unlock it by sliding on it. also full unlock by shaking a phone could be possible (also known as kung-fu-unlock :P)

other ideas also welcome.
[Desire HD General] BartOtten:
Proximity sensor for unlock when taking it out of the pocket :-D. I have the same problem as you so a 'fix' would be nice
[Desire HD General] raw235:
yeah, you take the phone out of the pocket and it unlocks and says "hello raw, how you are doing?". :eek:

but that would be nice. question is if constantly checking the prox sensor would drain the battery much. it needs to be checked every 3 seconds or so.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pavana:
Hi there,

I have Samsung I9000, updated recently to Froyo and wanted to use Flash Player (latest updated version) to listen to some internet radio stations available only in flash player version (hrt.hr/streams). So far so good, but....

when I want to switch to some other app - the player stops working. In other words, as long as I want to listen to a flash player radio stream - I can not use my phone for anything else (like reading a book or...).

Any idea how to make flash player work in background?

Thanks for any /all help.

Pavana
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Jip-Hop:
Got the same problem here..

haven't found a solution yet.

But it's not only a flash problem.

You can open media from the browser using the Android Video Player,

but when you want to go back to the site, check your messages or w/e

the video has to stream all over again/doesn't continue when you leave the window.

same here..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] crazykiddo:
I'm not an expert here but think the problem is how android os works.

when u switch app (in focus) all other apps are paused.

Unless the app is made not to pause (like music player)

So don't think there is a way really.

I'm in a similar boat, upgraded a while back to 2.2 using the registry edit (before the update was recalled).

Any ideas on how to go about upgrading to the official optus version?

You might've had your IMEI etc corrupted like I did... only a Samsung service centre can fix that (well I hope anyway... gotta see on the weekend) :)

Thanks for that bud, any cool new optus bloatware?

The only app I liked was the optus usage widget, does it still show errors? :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] acceler8:
Same bloatware. Haven't noticed anything new. MyAccount seems to be working fine at the moment. As per usual feels smooth and real good at the moment. I give it a week before the lag returns.

Note. I have 7 pages of apps.

EDIT: By MyAccount I mean the usage app. The widget still gives errors tho.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] goughymachine:
I updated with the reg hack when it was first being done a month or so ago. Thought today I'll update with the optus version, and downloaded the program to use with kies to make it work.

Anyway, just updated kies and connected my phone and it said that a firmware update was available, so I'm trying that first. Don't know what it is as such since I didn't think it would show. I think I remember seeing it say something about an upgrade to JPA or something. Oh well, we'll see.

ps - people like me who don't know what they're doing shouldn't be doing this stuff ;). But it's edge of the seat, flying by the seat of my pants fun!!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jromz03:
Finally updated mine to Froyo.

I did get some FCs after it rebooted, mainly from the Optus bloatware so I think its fine :P

Also, although the update is non-destructive. Its still removed my desktop shortcuts and replaced it with the default one (1 page of some shortcuts and 6 pages of blank)

I noticed Samsung have their own turn by turn navigation app as well, looks cool. Will try that out later.

Question! Can I use Voodoo (Beta 4) to lagfix this?
[Desire HD General] wmfreak:
I turned off all vibration or feedback and yet my phone vibrates when I get incoming calls. I unchecked all the boxes trust me and it still vibrates? Is it just me or does anyone else get this? I simply don't want it to vibrate when i get incoming calls!!!

Any suggestions!

Is the profile on vibrate? Try Menu > Settings > Sounds > Vibrate in General.
[Desire HD General] wmfreak:
nope! it's on Normal with vibrate unchecked
[Desire HD General] blbean:
Had the same issue and found this on Androidworld:

Try this:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications

Find the keyboard software you are using (for example "Android-Keyboard"), press "delete cache" and "delete data". This removes al personal settings of the keyboard.

After that I rebooted and vibration was turned off. Hopes it works!

On a side note, I think I get times where the phone occasionally vibrates for no good reason - no apparent notification, no apparent change or anything.

Good, at times I thought it was me going mad but I'm 100% sure it does this occasionally - but it could be absolutely anything, so I didn't even bother trying to find the cause.

Hiya guys & girls!

The latest update to ADWLauncher has made me sad :( They have replaced the Nexus one style button for the App draw with there own icon. I much perfured the nexus one look.

I've spent most of last night (Much to the disaproval of my other half) trying to find a theme that still includes the old style 'row of dots' icon.

So my question is does anyone know of a theme that still has the old style or knows of an icon pack that still includes it?

Thank you in advance! (:

Printer share won't print flash because their browser doesn't support thee plugin, but for most operations you can just use the share from menu. Supposedly firefox beta 3 has save page as pdf, try save the site as pdf and print via printer share

[Galaxy Tab General] wex005:
We use Printbot to print to our network printers. It has a ton of supported printers.
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
One source could be Galaxy Tab manual. Printing is described in it.

However, app called PrinterShare supports many more printers if they have ip addresses. I have two printers: Brother (laser one) and Epson workhorse 610 presented on my network. Both of them are also visible and selectable on the Tab.

Printing is not the same as on Mac or Windows. You start with PrinterShare and from it go to application where is the document you want to print.

It is very usable although quality is the same as the screen mostly. It does not scale image to fit a page. For me it is good enough - money well spent. It is really amazing being able to print from the Tab or phone.

Developer is constantly updating it and I believe it will match desktop printing in the near future.

Since samsung only support there own printers I would reccomend using this printbot app if you do not have a samsung supported printer.

I have used printbot with konica-minolta, hp, and cannon printers.

Wet sanding the inside of the screen should do the job, but that is a little drastic. I suggest using a case that covers that area -- like this: http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...WY/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1291046090&sr=8-10

For everyone wondering how to apply a theme.

It flashes like a regular ROM using ROM Manager.

Install ROM from SD card.

You DON'T wipe data and cache. You only need to start fresh if you have already themed the ROM.

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM!

Just in case things don't work out how you wanted.
