have a look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613954&page=24

You're not the first and not the last either, I bet. It happened to me too and I fixed it myself using the tips found on XDA.

The best one being getting a complete unit (LCD + Digitizer) and not just the screen.

I paid about 100 € on Ebay for the unit, came in about 3 dayx with the special tools shown on the leaked HTC video tutorial.

If I managed to do it, anyone can, believe me

Hello,

as far as I know HTC charge about 180 € ...

But you can have it repaired cheaper when you looking arround and find a local phone store.

I know what you must feel ;)

I bought two LG IQ cell phones from telus. Those phones are for my kids,and right now they don't need a data plan. They will probably use some Internet on wii fii , so I would like to know how can I block Internet connection.I don't want to pay for connection. Any ideas how to do it? Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy46:
Hi i have a desire with the leeDroid Rom installed and wondered if i can unistall programs like friend stream,stocks (which i never use) with something like titanium Back up?

Is there a list of programs like this which is safe to remove?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sakai4eva:
The latest version of Titanium Backup will colour the system apps red, so you know what you're getting into.

Avoid apps that you can't see on the apps drawer and it should be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
You can delete these programs from system/app in the rom zip file before you flash it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Before removing anything form Leedroid look at the wiki to see which apps can be removed safely. You can delete apps that are not on the list but if you run i to issues you know why.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy46:
do i do this on the phone or on my pc? any special software needed?

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
Yes.

To delete the apps from the zip you need special software like winzip or winrar, high tech stuff.;)

Just go to he /system/app/ directory and remove what you don't want and know it's safe.

And for example, if you want to make your life harder use ADB via recovery.

There are other methods too, if you are not satisfied with the zip editing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy46:
Ok cool. I had never opened rom's zip file before, didn't realise I could 'play ' with it like that :-)

Will experiment later, after a back up!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eden2812:
I'm not sure if it's the best practice, but I always trim my zip files without actually unzipping them (right click unzip).

You actually have an alternative if you're already installed and suddenly feel to lazy to wipe your phone. Get titanium, then go to the list of apps, long press, then choose "force remove app".

Although I'm not sure if it will cause any conflicts with your ROM.

Safety first! :p

Turn the screen up to at least half brightness and look at a completely white page, like the search screen or a browser window. Look at the color temp. Galaxy S devices (and apparently the Nexus S, too) vary widely from cool (blue) whites to neutral-and-warm (yellowish) hues. This bugs some, and doesn't phase others.

OK, so i bought the used Captivate, and I have to say the GPS sucks compared to my old FUZE.

right now looking for advice before I get rid of this phone.

1) GPS seems to see between 4-10 satellies but can't lock on, if it does lock on it stays locked on for 1-2 seconds

2) when GPS lock on for brief moment, tracking never works, the pointer on Google maps just stays still

3) Sometimes when it shows my location it 50-200 feet off from the actual location, and thats with GPS

For example GPS in my Fuze shows my location in backyard almost excactly to 2-3 feet, Captivate when it got GPS lock it was showing my location 2 houses down the street.

hmm it says free overnight shipping, but it says click here for our shipping terms and all they have is 4-8 business days, 3 business days, or 2 business days. there is no mention of overnight :/ i hope it is overnight though, I wont be able to pick one up in store.
[Nexus S General] sshtac:
Excellent...thanks for the info. This is my back up plan.
[Nexus S General] justsignbythex:
If it is real overnight, then they would have to receive your order before a certain time (usually early afternoon). If they do receive it before that time, then it'll be there the next day.

I'm not sure about weekends though. I'm sure there's exceptions, but Saturday might count as a day for "overnight" shipping.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
If you order early, then they should have it shipped out by the end of the day and you get the phone the next day. I'd assume people that opt for fast shipping would get the "speed processing" treatment compared to standard shipping orders.

How bout an android app that lets you incorporate smileys from forums in your text messages instead of using the crappy ones we have. Cause some of them are funny that are on forums.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
Since this has been an ongoing problem, I thought it would be best to create a bounty to solve this issue once and for all. Many of us with CyanogenMod 6.1 love the feel of AOSP apps and Cyanogen's subtle improvements. For those who aren't aware, some people have issues with sending oversized SMS messages on CDMA networks (like Sprint, for example). Currently, the only real solution to this is to install a third party messaging app like Handcent which has the option of splitting text messages when they are longer than 160 characters.

That is why I created this pool, to make an incentive for some talented coder to add 160 character splitting to the MMS.apk found in CyanogenMod.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Mms (Source for MMS.apk)

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1942 (Issue about 160 character bug)

To collect on this bounty, you do need to submit the fix to CM's github and post an apk with working 160-split.

does it actually send the second message? i believe that was the problem on the hero is it would split but lose sending the second one?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drdrewdown:
yea it counts down like it should & then DOES indeed send the 2nd message. i just tested it a couple days ago with my girlfriend.

i do use handcent, but this was going thru the stock messaging app.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shane112358:
Ummm....I've been having problems sending longer messages on CM6.1. It just sits there "Sending..." and then fails. Might that be because it is exceeding the character limit? I assumed that the app would handle this on it's own.

I saw this thread and someone had an APK for CM (the original one posted there is just pure AOSP) but it didn't install properly for anyone. I tried it and it didn't work for me either.

Anyone willing to give it a shot?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killerxx2:
When i get home i will get it set up for compiling.

And on ASOP it works take a look at asopMod if you have your hero still, it works. I had it working when i had my hero before he put the change in his build. i think the reason it doesn't work on CM is you need to sign it with CM's keys, or compile the whole rom with the changes
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LearnIIBurn:
Yeah I just tried with my stock CM6.1.1 sms app to send a message over 160 and it gets stuck at sending. It's seems like it's designed to support splitting like Handcent, but it has never worked for me. I like Handcent and have never used the stock sms app on any rom ever. I wouldn't mind using it though and ditching Handcent for a while.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheMagicalSock:
My experience with this problem is a little odd. I live in Bristol, Virginia and coverage and 3G are both great. Messages over 160 characters send without a problem (both here and in surrounding areas). However, a few weeks ago I went about five hours to Charlottesville and and texts over 160 characters would get stuck at 'sending' as you guys are describing.

This leads me to believe that this problem is based on how the tower handles large text messages. Has anybody else had this happen?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
Yeah, that's exactly how it works for me too. It's location dependent. I've gone through multiple Evo's and they have all done this in my area. On top of that, these will send perfectly well away from home. Also, they work well if I go into the Mobile Network menu and force it to roam on Verizon's network. The downside for that is spotty reception and download speeds around 20k/sec. At that point, it's simply easier to just use Handcent for the odd message.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jeagoss:
You know, I've looked into this issue. I am currently running CM 6.1.1 on my Evo, and must say, i have perfectly splitting 160 character texts. As well as my G1, MyTouch 3g, G2, and a few other devices.

I believe this is more of a radio / tower issue than anything. The more this problem is hit on, the more people say it is very area specific.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drdrewdown:
uh oh you guys woke up sleeping beauty. ^^^

if jeagoss could duplicate this issue he would probably be able to fix it. people need to be more specific & maybe provide some logcats or something that shows this occuring

I have this issue when I'm out of the house, but at home I have an Airave and messages over 160 go out 100% of the time on the first try. Not sure if the Airave has anything to do with it or if it's just a big coincidence.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] maxdamage2122:
obviously it works on the g1, mt3g, and g2 since they are all gsm phones. cdma doesn't support sms over 160 chars.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheMagicalSock:
Apparently, some towers do. I think the person with the Airwave above may be further proof for this location-specific behaviour for SMS. It's really weird, though. You would think the whole network would handle SMS the same way, regardless of the tower.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
I completely agree that it is a tower thing. I just wish the solution to this problem would be implemented. I'd be willing to do anything needed to help. I could run a logcat while it fails or anything else, including ripping a hole in spacetime to let someone from the Cyanogen team put their CDMA device in my service area to watch it fail.
