[General Questions and Answers] Demonstate:
Hey guys,

I'm kinda new on the android, but been messing around with it for a few days now. I just bought me a garmin asus nuvifone a10 and i'm currently running on 2.1.

The coolest things about android : if something about your phone, your interface, or whatever bothers you ... you just fix it with an app ... Now there are two things which have been bothering me about my phone which I just don't seem to find a solution for. I'm hoping you guys can direct me to some app or so which can solve them :

- First, I'm getting sick of unlocking my phone twice ... First I have to press the power button of my phone, located at the above part of my phone. And then I still have to swipe the bar. The second things isn't bothering me alot, but I'm getting quite concerned about the power button ... I know for sure it's not made to be pressed more than 500 times a day ... Since I want to keep on using my phone for a long time, I don't wanna strain it too hard. Is there an app which can make sure the screen never dies down entirely ? Like go into some 0% clarity mode instead and allow me to reactivate it, or even swipe immediately without having to press the unlock button of my phone first ?

- Second , it seems that normal 2.1 phones have the option to switch their regular keyboard for a built-in 3x4 keyboard (like with the old phones). I'd like to switch to this keyboard too, but for some reason, my phone does not have this function ( and yes I checked well). I've been downloading dozens of apps to alter keyboard appearance, but all I actually want is the 3x4 keyboard back. Is there a simple app which can do this ?

Thanks, this would help me alot !

Hi,

I'm going to be on vacation in the states from December 21st to January 6th. Gonna stay in NYC for a couple of days, then travel down the coast to Miami, by car.

I have a Google Nexus One that I would love to be able to use over there (on the road). Primarily for the Internet connection. I would probably need at least 1GB of data. (a bit email, a bit google maps, a bit gps, maybe book some events)

Anyway. What options do I have? What operators can I use with my Nexus One to get the 3G working? ATT? T-Mobile?

I guess the best option would be some kind of prepaid plan, right?

I tried checking their websites but couldn't really understand it all. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on how I should get mobile Internet on the American east coast :)

Thanks in advance!

I'm going to avoid rooting, at least for the time being, I never rooted my D1 either. Anyways, I know January 1st, the thing's being upgraded with Adobe Flash and the Nook app store. (Flash hopefully means it's being upgraded to 2.2 as well, the lady in the store said both Flash and apps on January 1st).

I'm wondering who if anyone, is working on apps for publishing through the Nook store.
[Nook Color General] GabbleRatchet:
NC will not see its marketplace or any significant upgrade on January 1, believe me. The company is currently saying 'first quarter' for the marketplace and no timeframe whatsoever on flash/2.2
[Nook Color General] Roofus44:
Two days ago when I went to B&N to pick up my nook the guy at the front showing off the nook told me it would be "upgraded to android 2.2 Gingerbread in the not to distant future." Not knowing what to make of that I just nodded my head in agreement :) maybe this guy knows something we don't... anyways love my stock nook.
[Nook Color General] Novaglarion:
2.2 Gingerbread, LOL. Hey, at least they can help you find a book so they aren't completely useless! (Not all are this ignorant of course, some are very informed.)
[Nook Color General] ocdtrekkie:
Obviously, being someone who was waiting for the 2.1 update for Droid 1, which was given a release date like three or four times, I know that release dates aren't exactly set in stone. Believe me.

But she did state January 1st with some manner of certainty, like it was a date stated somewhere internally. Whether or not it actually happens by then or not is obviously yet to be seen. ;)

It's possible the lady was outright wrong too, we'll see I suppose. I do know she was a Droid owner too.

I accidentally set the default action to open home screen instead of the softkeys app... Is there anyway to change this setting? (I tried reinstalling)

install another launcher like zeam\adw\launcher pro, it will prompt you again, set it to softkeys then uninstall the extra launcher (or keep it if you wanna have 'two' launcher setups)

Since you have a non-rooted nook could you try to get to the USB debug screen as described in this thread:

If you enable USB debugging there you can push applications via adb. (And you don't have to do anything you couldn't have done by accident ;))

[General Questions and Answers] PolyOlefin:
When I am listening to a podcast through Google Listen, Android automatically kills the background process when I begin, for instance, to use the browser or an RSS feed aggregator.

There are no problems if I'm just listening to a podcast. It only stops playing when I try to use another app.

I do not use any task killers. I have tried using "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" to rectify this issue, and set the "out of memory" setting so Listen would be highly prioritized, but the issue persists.

I am using a custom ROM (Ultimate Droid 1.0.0, Android 2.2, FRG22D); this issue did not occur for the first month or two of using the ROM so I do not believe it's a bug within the build. I have gotten desperate enough to the point of wiping the data/cache to factory settings and reinstalling the ROM, with no effect.

Please help! Listen is my most used app and it's driving me crazy.

I also like the youlu dialer, but there is one problem.

Because I wanted to fix my lowres contact pictures, I have linked all pictures to my facebook account and until now I have not found any app that can show these pics.

I don't want to change the pictures for +200 contacts again to use this app.

Is there anyone who has found a different dialer app that can show the facebook pictures ?

grtz
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] telmoabff:
I'm enjoying Youlu too. However, I have a problem. When I dial a number ou select a contact in it, it opens SE blue background dialer. Should it be like that?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
You can set the facebook pictures directly to your contacts with syncmypix. Then every phonebook will show them. The app also has a high res setting.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cyberkhan:
No, it shouldn't be like that.

Delete the defaults for Youlu (in Settings->Applications->Management) and repeat the action, when prompted select Youlu as default.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp991:
I have a bit of a problem here. Today I was at work and I notice that my Gmail app was unusable (it forced close on opening).

So, I restarted the phone and now all the apps I had installed on the phone are not showing in application list as well as gapps that are missing.

But the funny thing is that they are all there if I go in :

Setting>Application>Manage Applications

Everything is there, even google apps and I can uninstall them (I've tried with lookout and it uninstall perfectly). Once uninstall I can't install anything even if I have the apk file on my sdcard.

What can I do appart from hard reset? I have bell SGS i9000M UGJH2 stock, rooted and lag fixed wit OCLF. Arround 150 apps were installed.

I don't have any recent backup on Titanium and I will lose a lot of app data. It doesn't matter for sms as I had them backed up automaticaly on gmail before all my apps stopped working.

I've already tried wipping the cache partition and it didn't solve the problem.

Do you think I can flash back my firmware without partitionning and keep my data this way?

Could it be dangerous to flash gapps from Cyanogen wiki to see if once the market is back I have my installed apps showing again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp991:
Update : I've tried to flash google apps from recovery and it seems to works at first as it showed up as "Installing package - Installing google applications" but the phone restarted before the bar reached the end and nothing changed. My phone is still showing only 21 apps (stock apps). Everything installed by me is not showing and google apps (Market, gmail, gtalk, maps, navigation etc..) are also gone.

It looks like something is preventing me from using my apps and installing anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp991:
Update : I just turn off the phone after I remove some apps to free space and see if it chages something but when I turn back on the phone it hangs on the big S logo.

Then I had the worst feeling ever. I tought my SDCARD was dead cause it's one of the symptoms of a dead i9000m sdcard.

So I just start in recovery and did a factory reset followed by a flash with odin of stock UGJH2 firmware and I tick repartition. Everything went fine and the phone is now factory fresh except that my internal sdcard is full of stuff.

Now my question is : Do you think this proble might be related to OCLF??? I applied the fix when I had some apps already installed (arround 100). I still had 500Mb free at this point. Had 380 when my apps stopped showing up.

The same thing happened to me shortly after I installed voodoo lag fix. Ended up having to get the phone replaced. Eventually my phone stopped booting up all together.. I would avoid lagfixes..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp991:
My phone is working fine for now. I applied voodoo lagfix right after the flash with odin and restored all my apps from a 3 weeks old back up, it's been good for today. The phone is not as fast as it was with OCLF but still better than stock. Hope it's not related to lag fix. Only future will tell. Waiting for other to comments on that!

can somebody please explain how to remove Certificate verification warning from stock rom for cooking by os kitchen.thanks

You have to patch the nk.exe file in the XIP Kernel.
[Windows Mobile] master92:
can you please tell me how ?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Search for cmonex's patcher. Or enable cert patching in your kitchen.

When are you getting errors? It probably has nothing to do with certificates. You may have a bad shortcut or missing files (components). I doubt it's really a cert problem. Check the shortcut path first (or the alias path in the registry).

HI Everyone,

is there a way to increase multitouch response to 300ms via build.prop?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinifex74:
I have searched for this and found the same question posted in a HD2 Android category, but there were no responses... so asking for myself in here.

I have all my phone numbers listed in my contacts with the preceeding area code, as I often travel outside of the local area and need those area codes included in my contacts numbers..... ie: all my phone numbers are 10 digits in length.

However, there doesn't seem to be a requirement for the area code to be sent, when a caller has Caller-ID enabled. In other words, I receive some calls from contacts in my phone, but if their phone doesn't include the area code in their Caller-ID, then my phone doesn't recognise or identify the number. Consequently, when hanging up from those calls, it constantly asks me if I want to save the number.

Note - it isn't a permanent thing. Many incoming calls DO identify correctly, as the area code has obviously been sent with C-ID.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Obviously I COULD go thru every contact and manually add another non-area-coded phone number - perhaps under an obscure phonebook entry, like "pager"... but surely this is something that one would expect be handled automatically by the phone... not by duplicating entries as a work-around.

What would happen for business-people who travel internationally - most of their contacts would also include the "+61" (or whichever) country code also.....

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinifex74:
Thanx mate for your reply.

Sorry took so long.... my phone has been in for warranty repair (unrelated matter to this) for the last 7 weeks, so I haven't logged onto xda in that time !!!

No..... I haven't tried disabling the AC Prefix setting. I will have a look at that and see if it makes any difference.

One additional comment..... I am also having the REVERSE problem.... in that SOME people who ring me on their mobiles, the caller ID is also sending the +61 (Australia) country code in front of their mobile number too.... so again, my phone isn't recognising them as being the "same" number as what is stored in my phonebook ????

Will try the disable thing you mention and report if it works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinifex74:
Sorry mate... cannot find the setting you mention.

Could you explain please exactly where it is ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
Or you could turn off having the phone ask to to add the number to your contacts.

On the US T-Mobile phone it is:

Activate phone screen

Menu

Options

Menu

Network Selection

Advanced tab

Turn off the feature to "Add new phone number to People at end of call"

I'm using the NRG ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinifex74:
Thanks stevedebi.

Sorry - I mite not have been properly clear.

The issue isn't being asked to save a new number.

The issue is.... the phone does not recognise a number - mobile or landline - if there is an area-code or country-code prefixed to the number (or vice versa) with the entry in the phone book.

Eg: ALL my contacts saved in my phone have their mobile numbers WITHOUT the +61 country code.... and ALL landline numbers are saved WITH area-codes.

Now - depending on my contact's phone operators, they sometimes send with, or without, those prefixes in their caller ID's.

Consequently - on those occasions.... my phone does not recognise incoming calls or messages as having come from my contacts, due to the extra numbers at the beginning.

Surely this is a software issue from HTC? I mean, surely the software should be able to query an incoming called ID (either with or without prefixed-codes) with a saved number in the contacts/phonebook (with or without prefixed-codes)... ???

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar302:
Check you registry setting for "HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\CalIidMatch" value=?!?

try to reduce the number for "Value" by 1 and try.

This is for the number of digits your phone will check when comparing incoming numbers with stored names.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinifex74:
Thanx Omar,

Will try that. Question though.... does it check the phone number (by number of digits) in reverse order? ie: setting a particular number will have no effect, if it checks in normal forward order, as it's PREFIXES that are making things wrong.... so the phone needs to ONLY check the LAST 10 digits.... not the first 10. This will eliminate the issue with any country-code added to the front of a number... but will not help with a local area code, as these are dependent on the callers' carrier, if they send the area code in the CID or not
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omar302:
From my experience with my HTC phones, it checks the last digits.

I have number saved with the +974 international code (for Qatar), & when local call come in, they only show the local format (without +974) & the caller ID still recognises the names. Our local numbers are 8 digits, so I have the registry value set at 7 or 8 & it works fine.

you need to convert not rename the audio files to .ogg for the phone to play specific unlock/lock sounds.

I have mine set to Ep2 Lightsaber open/close
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] NCX Designs:
the .ogg file is inside the .zip i attached, i just can't attach it as an actual file since XDA doesn't allow that format unless its zipped

rename droid.ogg to unlock.ogg

i've done this many times before with all the ROMs i've used and it works as long as its a Froyo rom since it was added in 2.2 for the Incredible.

.ogg is a format thats open source, playable on WinAMP, VLC, and GOM player.

if you need to convert a file that you don't have in .ogg format, use this link to upload it and convert it online.

http://media.io/

it will ask you to browse for the file you want converted, then it will ask you what format you want to convert it to

I know I posted this in the other lock sounds thread, but I thought I would post it here to for those that may be watching this thread for an answer.

SUCCESS! I was actually able to use a different site using my phone. http://www.online-convert.com/

I then used root explorer to rename and copy the file into the correct system folder. Works great now. My only complaint is that it seems I can't control the volume of the lock/unlock sounds I chose using any of the volume settings. It's always on full blast unless I set to silent or vibrate. Any ideas? Thanks.

I dont think you can adjust the volume of the unlock UI notification within of the basic controls of the volume (RT/Media/Alarm). Only thing i can think of is editing the sound file to a lower volume you can use most audio editors/mixers to do that. Then convert/overwrite
