[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] amarko5:
can anyone cast anymore light on this issue ( no pun intended)

as in a technical explanation as to why it happens so often and with so many builds and different radio's and WM Roms?

it really plagues me, as the phone would be so awesome if i could find a build that would wake when pressed and not when it feels like it ?

help:confused:

I've had success with an app called WidgetLocker Lockscreen and have had almost no problems waking up by pressing the homebutton (problems waking maybe 2x in 2 weeks).

If you dont find any solution...then try testing it with different SDcard.

I have the same issue, tried many roms (winmo and android) - think they are all the same... Also tried a different memory card. Would be good to have a proper solution/reason...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
position your HD2 in front/close to a bright light then press end call/power button.

It should wake up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kraion:
I also have the same issue, I'm beginning to think its a H/W Related issue, me and my colleague have the same device, same HSPL, Same radio, same base rom, same android build, same SD card. I have the issues, he does not.

I've also tried endless combinations of SD Cards, builds, radios, and so on, the funky wakeup issue still shows up at least twice a day, annoying as hell.

None of the "Tricks" has solved it for me.

I've found dozens of posts regarding the same issue (Including a thread I started on my own) and still nothing.

Most devs seem to ignore the issue cause apparently Quote: "Only about 1% of the users have the wakeup issue" , so I guess its not considered critical for anybody to worry about.

I never had this problem, then with a new sd card it started happening but only if i tried waking it up just after it had gone off. So looks like its the sd card...

Is there a way for LauncherPro to snap back to the "center" home screen after a lock? It's leaving off where I left it and I'd really like to always land on my normal home screen. TIA.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] leech2082:
should be fixed by going into settting and setting the default page to center or what ever number page is your center..

Same Question I had

That was the same question I had after the new update. As in we got optical scrolling so how about being able to push the optical d pad for home screen!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dubluv17:
You can do this with WidgetLocker. It is a paid app, but I have it and like it a lot.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] aharper:
I have WidgetLocker, really like it a lot and did exactly what I'm looking for (pre-LauncherPro).

Example... if I'm on my middle home screen and swipe left, hit an icon for, say, Handcent, open a text message and type away. I then lock my screen, come back to it later and unlock. It will take me to the left screen that I left off from. If I hit the Handcent icon it will take me back into the message that I left off in.

Before I put LauncherPro on my screen I would have done the above actions but the result would be that when I unlock my phone it would always snap back to the center home screen and if I open Handcent it would always open to my list of conversations, not inside the one I left off in.

I realize both small, but I'm trying to figure out if LauncherPro is worth having as a result. :)

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] sharper4:
I notice this too. Swipe to the right, play Angry Birds for a while then hit the Home button to go back home and it takes you to the page you left, not the "Default Screen".

The "Home Key Action" setting doesn't have anything to tell it go back to the default screen, so maybe we're outta luck.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JBabey:
I really like the "Droid" from AndroidCentral so I read a tutorial and made a nice clean one

I matted it on top of the stock black default, and I am very happy with the results.

As usual just drop it on the root of the SD-Card and boot into bootloader for the prompt to flash. I believe you need to have a compatible H-Boot but im not sure.

Anyways enjoy. I may do some more later in the nintendo theme of things!

Hello,

I have a big problem with my new vibrant (3 weeks). I'm really disappointed.

The vibrant doesn't start : the screen stay off. Nothing happend when I plug it.

I can't go to download mode with the special USB cable - R=301ohms (the cable is OK).

I don't know if it an hardware or software problem.

I have done some operations on my vibrant. The last ones are:

- Flash to T-Mobile with :T959UVJI2-HOME.tar : OK

- Install Z4root application : OK

- Install ROM manager : OK

- Download "Axura21VE.zip" on Internal SD Card : OK

- Install with ROM Manager "Axura21VE.zip" :

- the phone restart with setup new ROM (progess bar seems ok)

- the phone restar finally and nothing happend ... !!

- My phone seems definitely bricked :(

Do you have any idea about that ?

Do you know if a missed flash can definitely break the phone ? The phone come from U.S and I'm based in Europe... There is no international warranty.

Thank for your help.

keep trying to get into download mode..

1. connect USB cable.

2. Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.

3. Hold vol+ and vol-.

4. Press power until screen goes black, then let go of power only.

5. Should see the yellow digger.

i almost bricked my phone recently but i was able to odin back to stock and save my phones life.. this may be the only way
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
Try this way to get into download mode.

Pop out battery just the be totally sure phone is powered off.

Start odin and have it waiting.

Plug USB cord into computer but not phone.

Hold both volume buttons and plug USB into phone - it should power up on its own in download mode.

But i still have Sense UI running.

Is there any way to uninstall it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicvx94:
You should be able to with titanium backup.as long as you're rooted and s-off. I'm not sure if you'll have any issues from uninstalling sense tho, might want to backup just in case.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
I use launcher pro and I deleted all apks concerned with sense from my system/app folder. Just delete anything with widget after it, and delete rosie.apk. Just don't mess with the actual weather/news apks. News is labeled greader. Widgets are okay to delete. Just not the actual apps themselves. You will get lots of fc notices. That will kill htc sense. It sped my phone up a lot to get rid of it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
I deleted my weather and news apk's and don't have any FC's. Your suggestion is not totally accurate. It is safe to remove them. Removing actual apps is OK as long as you know which ones are OK to remove.

Please double check your facts before posting tips/advice.

Hi!

Some are struggling to keep there data connection alive, I am willing to make it automatically close as soon as it is not required anymore.

I just bought my Desire Z last week. Standard phone, not coming from my operator, with baseband 18.28b60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M and build 1.34.405.5.

My data connection remains alive all day long even if I configured the phone not to have data connection always on and applications, including sense ones, only to synchronize each two hours ...

Is there any check, or any app, I could install to easily determine which configuration parameter and/or application makes my data connection always on ?

Thanks a lot !

[Android Apps and Games] k1018277:
You can use

Desktop Visualizer

. It is a widget that when tapped on, will launch the app or shortcut chosen by the user. The icon, also chosen by the user, is an image file.

You can just create an image file with the text you want and then link it the app you want.
[Android Apps and Games] eko013:
Thanks for the reply.

I did use Desktop visualizer but it was pain to set image sizes correctly for my 5x7 (columns, rows) screen. and if I wanted to change the layout I would again have to change image sizes. But other than that it is a cool and powerful app.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porcupine00:
Hi there,

I consider myself a semi-noob, being an IT Analyst, I know a lot about computers, but this is a bit of foreign territory for me, since I got my Android phone only few month ago.

Anyways, I am looking for help with the following problem

Using ROM Manager I've installed ClockworkMod Recovery, and CM6.1 on my rooted HTC Desire. Beforehand I've backed up my phone.

The problem, CM6.1 does not load and is stuck on the flash screen.

Clockworkmod Recovery mode does not work either, when selecting recovery, it give me the picture of the phone and the triangle. Fastboot works though.

When on CM6 flash screen, I can connect to the phone using ADB, but in read-only, thus I cannot mount my SD card, and cannot do anything productive.

When in fastboot mode, I can connect to the phone with fastboot.

There I've tried a lot, with no luck yet.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip

gives me

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

fastboot flash system system.img

gives me

FAILED (remote: data length is too large)

But I think even if the system.img wasn't too large it would give me signature verify fail

I've found out that to fix signature verify fail problem I need to update SPL first. I know it could be risky, and I wonder if there is any other and simpler way to fix it.

So basically I have CM6 that does not boot, recovery mode that does not doot, full system backup on SD card (and on PC of course), adb in read-only, and working fastboot.

What are my options?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Porcupine00:

[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
So I have been running noobnl's Andromeda Galaxy ROM, ver 1.1.1a currently, with Phoenix Kernel 1.46. Slightly older stuff, but it's been stable so I haven't bothered upgrading. I have the original version of the market as I never received the update to the new version.

This morning I updated a few apps in the Market without a problem. I went to look for something a few hours later and the Market force closed on me. I rebooted the phone a couple times and still got FCs, so I pulled up alogcat and got the follow error:

E/Database( 3398): Failure 1 (duplicate column name: auto_update) on 0x1304a8 when preparing 'ALTER TABLE assets10 ADD COLUMN auto_update INTEGER'.

From the error, it sounds like maybe I now got the update but for some reason when the updated Market is trying to install itself behind the scenes, it's failing. Thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I just tried clearing Davlik to no avail. I'm going to try to restore just the data from a couple day old backup. I took a backup of the phone in this current state already.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
That doesn't quite qualify as "having done nothing to the phone", imho, or am I wrong? Very likely the new market app doesn't like your ROM and is failing to launch after having been updated earlier today. Chances are it will happen again even if you go back.
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
Sorry, I meant I haven't done anything to it recently. I've been on the same ROM/kernel for at least a month now with no issues, and the Market FC issue is just since this morning.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
Yeah, that's when the new market pushed out. Not sure what to tell you though... despite all their shortcomings, this is why I personally stick to stock ROMs - all the caveats for minor improvements and constant instability isn't worth it to me in the long run. I've messed with all sorts of custom ROMs in my life, but ultimately, the thing has to work according to its intended development lifecycle. Of course, to each their own, and I can understand the desire to have something uniquely different, but I've run into more trouble than it's worth. A friend of mine was raving on about CM6 on his original G1... but the thing couldn't answer a phonecall half the time. The irony...
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
So the new Market pushed out yesterday morning? I thought it pushed out a couple of months ago and I just never got it...
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
It did. I never got it that time around. (Ended up installing manually, messed up my device, had to wipe.) The newest version that pushed yesterday includes the "related" tab, and this time more of us seem to have gotten it.
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
So replacing .apks didn't work out for me, so I started looking at the error message and decided to try to remove the column from the offending .db. I did this successfully and thought it was going to work but then received a whole slew of other error messages... so I tried simply deleting the entire /data/data/com.android.vending folder and VOILA! I not only have a working Market, it updated to the new version finally!
[Epic 4G General] gfraizer:
Got repeated FC's in the Updated market App. (running -rooted- stock Rogers Canada ROM minus a few rogers/SE apps) Tried clearing cache; NG. Tried re-installing market app; also NG.
