[Epic 4G General] kiekan:
So I flashed DK28 this morning and have run into a major issue. Everything works wonderfully for a while it seems. But it the screen shuts off for approximately fifteen minutes or more, the phone seems to become totally unresponsive. The power button does not wake it and when I slide open the keyboard, nothing seems to happen (phone doesn't lock and keyboard backlight doesn't light up). I'm forced to do a battery pull and reboot.

I have never experienced this with any other version of the Froyo or Eclair ROMs. I've tried both wiping and reflashing (both the DK28 modem and ROM).

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know why this might be?

Hi all,

my BA and me spent 5 nice years together, during that period I have changed 3 screens and had no other problems but recently BA suprised me (just few months after the last screen replacement) with weird problem.

Screen work, digitizer work but funny, it usually miss the place where I touch the screen 5 around 5 mm to the right, then I draw a note for eg and moving right line I draw lags after the stylus, after I start to draw to the left everything is fine. Up and down is fine too. If I align everything is fine for a some time but when I try it later its messed up again.

I tought that its software problem but after the hard reset nothing changed.

Is this problem familiar to anyone? Is it a time to change a screen again?

I dont believe that its worth, BA is rather old phone but I have previous screen with good digitizer and if you say that I should try to change a digitizer I ll try it (any manual for that? I saw just 4 contacts but covered with plastic and digitizer seems to be glued to the screen)...

Any ideas before I burry my beloved BA

thanks, best regards to BA community and special greetz to Chef Tony

ps

used to try to disassemble it, checked the cables - everything is fine (as long as I can see), they are connected nicely, beside that phone work fine, only problem is with the digitizer

So, who else is with me when "SD Caching" comes to mind? And I'm not talking about just caching data to the SD. I'm talking about caching map tiles to the SD so there is some form of viewing Maps without an internet connection.

What do you guys think about this?

OK guys. So my vibrant is 100% stock. Not rooted or anything like that so please don't put any rooted answers. But. How do I up my batterylife? Right now I'm using helix launcher because I heard it ups battery. Is this true?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
battery consumption depends hugely on how a user uses his/her phone.

or how the user sets up his settings..

battery life varies from user to user, to each his own.

Use Network Switcher and stay in 2G mode, leave wireless off, leave GPS off. Use black only background, do not use any widgets.
[Captivate General] psai:
Hey guys,

I tried flashing stock JH7 after disabling lagfix. When I tried to reboot, I ended up in a boot loop and the phone kept getting stuck on the "AT&T World Phone" screen. I can access stock Samsung recovery and Download Mode, but, although I tried numerous methods, Odin3 doesn't recognize my phone in Download Mode. I also don't have any update.zip or backup on my phone that I can flash in stock recovery.

Is there any way I can fix my phone without Odin3? If not, how can I get Odin3 to work on my computer? I'm running Windows 7 HP x64 on my laptop, and I have adb installed, but can't access adb shell for some reason.

I searched numerous threads but couldn't come up with a solution. Please help!
[Captivate General] curti.nogg:
Have you tried reinstalling your drivers?

My laptop won't recognize my phone anymore for the Android UMS drivers so I've been using my desktop to flash using Odin.
[Captivate General] psai:
I've tried, but Odin only recognizes my phone in recovery mode and doesn't recognize it in download mode.
[Captivate General] psai:
Fixed at last!

I finally fixed my phone! I found out that I was using the wrong USB drivers -_-

I installed the correct drivers, and voila, my phone was recognized by Odin3 :)

Sorry for the n00b error :P

I want to make a board from my History class, that's a brute to study for. So I want to make a forum or wiki type website that allows us to update it in preparation to the final. However, I don't want there to be moochers, and thus I want to implement a system of the only way to view posts is to write posts of a certain length. Would I have to do this from scratch or is there an existing program that can do this?
[Nook Color General] tanp:
Has anyone had any luck loading Swype onto the NC? I know that there are many different APKs for various devices but I was thinking maybe the Galaxy Tab one would work?
[Nook Color General] den0ts:
I would like to know as well.
[Nook Color General] msid:
I've tried the DroidX version with no luck. Also, I tried the SlideIT keyboard, with the same results. I've put the apk in /system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then used the NookColor Tools app to select it. Both show up as selections, but when selected no keyboard shows up.

I'd love to get this working, I'm hoping we could use the copy and paste features of the Swype keyboard.
[Nook Color General] French.:
I would love to see Swype on this, too. In my opinion it's the best keyboard option. The standard keyboard is just too difficult for my smaller hands to type on (holding like a cell phone).
[Nook Color General] MrOtsKrad:
Swype is prolly the last thing (sans 2.2 and all that comes with it) that Im really looking forward to getting on here
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
I've gotten the DroidX multi-touch (small key fonts), ShapeWriter (small keyboard) and Smart Keyboard (best so far imo) to work following the NookColor Tools instructions.

Swype will not show..

Has anyone had any luck installing Swype 3.25 Beta on NC stock rooted? It's been a year. Anyone know where there is a thread discussing this or working on this?
[Nook Color General] ruthienu:
I have version 2.6 working perfectly. I love swype!
[Nook Color General] markusrow:
Please help, but first, let me check are you on Stock NC Rooted, or on CM7?

My NookColor is Stock NC B&N 1.3 Rooted. Swype Version 2.6 would be OK, although I prefer 3.25 beta if possible.

Would appreciate steps on how to get either working.
[Nook Color General] SCrid2000:
3.25 is working fine for me, but i'm on cm7.
[Nook Color General] markusrow:
Pity i'm looking for Swype on stock rooted. Having said that, I wish I could have the full nook experIence on CM7 with Swype.
[Nook Color General] unibroker:
I have it and been using version 3.25 for some time on CM7 Nightly 197. Never had any problems.
[Nook Color General] ruthienu:
I'm running swype 2.6 on cm7 off usd. Works great!
[Nook Color General] markusrow:
Thanks, I have just about had enough of the boot loops with Rooted NC 1.3, so will likely go the CM7 route over the weekend.
[Nook Color General] barakisbrown:
Personally Thumb Keyboard is the best keyboard for any device. I use in on my nook and gtablet and it works great. I think its better than swype and text9.
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:

Have Swype on CM7 (RC2) but don't use it ... the Thumb kb is soooo much better, even use it on my phone altho it's a little more difficult

I have put latest Swype beta and Thumb Keyboard on CM7, both work fine.

Very nice review. I think it shows people what the ViewSonice G Table is capable of.
[G Tablet General] johnneyi:
Nice, I purchased my g-tab last night and set it up with 2.2 lite, market working, flash working. I have been considering returning, the available apps don't work correctly, its become annoying to think of a $400 ($379 + tax) investment that doesn't do what it's potential is. The latest annoying app is the "fios Mobile remote", works fine with my phone, but not for this tablet, their is even a iPod application that works! Your YouTube video brings me back to realizing its a work in progress and will hopefully soon work the way I hoped (as crazy as it seems---i mostly want it to be better than the ipad---justto shut my friends up), thanks again

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyAmused:
Sad day in the life of SlightlyAmused. Put the phone in my coat pocket and it happened. One good size scratch down the edge, now it don't bug me too much but I figure it would be best to get a zagg on this bad boy asap. The problem is I cannot find any online!

Does anyone know where I can find some?

Also, for those who use them, will zaggs make my screen feel "draggy" or does it still feel natural?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafeee2:
Did you scratch the screen or the phone plastics? The screen's supposed to be scratch proof.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyAmused:
The screen. I have read that if there is sand between a credit card or something it can happen. I think its just resistant and not proof.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZootHornRollo:
I had a Zagg on my N900 and it did feel a little rubbery/draggy. Either you get used to it or it wears off, not sure which but the feeling goes away.

I really want to find a screen protecter that is exactly like the ones supplied with the HTC Hermes and Kaiser in the box. Best screen protectors i ever had. Barely even noticed they were there and they lasted the time i had the phones.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyAmused:
I found a review on Steinheil protectors and they look good. Sadly they don't have any for Defy. Oh well, maybe next month.

Just be careful around sand and hard surfaces.:D I have read alot online so far that people have scratched the glass on other devices with gorilla with only sand in their pocket or on the beach face down. Everything else doesn't seem to effect it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elysir:
Hi,

for my Defy, i ordered Vikuiti (TM) DQC-160 3M

I hope it works well
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyAmused:
DING!

Looks great and the reviews are all pretty good. The whole finger print thing dosnt really bother me as I usually wipe it off after I use it, or during it (hard to play casino kid 2 with finger prints imo).

Hopefully it covers a little of the scratch I have on the screen :(

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueCrusader:
and you believed them?

hmmm, those that believe that Corning Gorilla Glass is scratch proof are gullible, and mislead by Motorolas claim that the Defy is dust scratch and water therefore life proof, I have a Samsung Preston here that begs to differ thanks to the dirty big diagonal scratch down it's face

and I also have a still camera that Olympus swears to be "waterproof" despite the angry protests of almost everyone else who bought one which just goes to show you can never believe what a company says about their product

if you're wise you would fit a screen protector to it the very moment you unbox it like I did with my Sex1

and will do with my new Defy When I get it

(decision made!)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
I wish realook made them for the defy. They are by far my favorite
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higgsy:
imo phone never feels as responsive with a screen protector on - I have always used them when I had non touch screen phones, and when I got my Hero I tried a number of different ones and always felt they weren't working very well, when I just decided to start using it without one, it felt like a different phone. I haven't bothered with the Defy, not because of the scratch proof claims. I think the best defence is just to get in the habit of putting it in an empty pocket etc.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
I feel the same about them until I put a realook protector on my vibrant. It's pretty awesome.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreky13:
One I found in my search for protectors was skinomi have it ordered but still waiting.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
Why not put your phone in an empty pocket? Hell, I did that with my dumbphones before touchscreen was a readily available feature.

Plus, isn't putting a screen protector on Gorilla Glass like putting tissue paper over kevlar?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elysir:
for what little protection

where work is always better ... and is not an office

if you happen to a simple scratch , throw away the tissue paper
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyAmused:
I am so used to just tossing it in my pocket that I dont really think about whats in there. When I rocked my BB9700 I would always throw it in the holster and I think I will be looking around tomorrow for either a generic screen protector or case for the phone.

I must admit the phone can take a beating.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfastmonkey:
I got a couple of decent sized scratches from a lighter in my pocket within 3 days (the perils of smoking!).

I just received my skinomi a couple of days ago and am most impressed so far. Using the wet one, I have no bubbles and cannot see the scratches now. It feels smooth on the finger, shows less finger prints and I have lost no accuracy. I will be interested to see how well the self healing thing works, as every other cover I have used ends up covered in scratches within a week.

I will post how it holds up over time
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlightlyAmused:
I can understand that. My new years resolution is to quit smoking.....year 15 of failed new years. I'm starting to think this whole "sticking to it" isnt for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfastmonkey:
I've had the skinomi on for a few weeks now. It is the most impressive protector I have ever seen.

I can't see the original scratch, nor can I see fingerprints much. I can see better in light and it feels better than the gorilla glass- smooth but rubbery with no grab. It is as responsive as stock and has no dulling effect on the screen.

I do have some scratches-more like pits from having it in my pocket with keys and a lighter and other stuff while climbing around at work. I realized I had my full bodyweight on it and I feared I would crack the glass, and it's hard to describe how I knew I had given it way beyond normal abuse, and I have cracked a screen before with half the pressure- these pits haven't gone away so I ordered another one without hesitation even though I can only notice them on angles, and even then not much (I could have gone for the lifetime warranty replacement but I feel I really pushed it beyond its purpose, and it's too much hassle -with the GET25 discount it's only $8 anyway, and I was getting one for my wife's Desire that I gave her when I got the Defy). If I had my Desire in my pocket that day, I would guarantee it would have cracked.

I can see no other scratches, and one's I have had just fade away in days, as it is self healing.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elvispreasley:
Guys, actually I don't see any reason to use a screen protector for our great device. I prefer to keep my phones in amazing condition, that's why for every of it I used a screen protector film and as you know - it's very uncomfortable, cause by the reason of everyday using, you leave alot of fingerpritns and grease from your fingers, which is not so simpe to remove, from the top of your screen protector. So, when I bought a Defy, I bought as well a chinies screen protector, used it for a few days and than I decide to try use the phone without any film (by the reason of Gloria glass)...Guys, I was so imressed! My fingerprints dissapeared from the screen forever + you have very nice and comfortable feelings, when you touch a quality glass, without screen proterctor! Now I'm already use my Defy for a 2 month, without screen protector (only use a silicon case - to keep the of the phone body in good condition) and I don't have even any thiny scratch on the screen glass! My recomendation is: enjoy our excellent device, without any screen protector and you will see a BIG different.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinsen:
i use one because despite the screen being made of gorilla glass, i got a scratch after about 2 weeks. dont know where it came from but it sucks.

using the screen protector which came with the otterbox commuter and it works well.

protector is pretty scratched too, but its cheaper to replace.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mdfy:
I used to have one on my defy but opt to remove it since I noticed a decrease in display quality. But if you're looking for a good screen protector I would also recommend skinomi. Cheaper than zagg but works better IMO.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bastage:
So I am personally a fan of the cheap matte screen protectors from ebay.. After paying for a realook for my mt4g & realizing it was simply not cut as well as the 95 cent one that I had on the phone previously I haven't looked back. Also I will normally order from several different sellers that appear to be using different products when i get a new phone so I can test to see what I like the best. The one thing to avoid is the cling type protectors (like EZguardZ) as they never look good. plus I prefer the matte finish because I am a greasy mother ****er & I hate seeing my faceprint on the phone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
I got a skinomi one for the defy. So far so good! It doesnt drag. Much less grease. install was definitely a little tricky, and I did get one tiny hair towards the edge of the screen.
