did you install any recent apps that cause problems? it might be one of them.

You may need to ODIN back to stock.. well thats how we go back to stock on Galaxy S VIBRANT.

should be the same.
[Android Apps and Games] DS1495:
I haven't installed any apps that have caused problems that I know of...

I was just listening to music for an hour or so in the car, then when I unlocked my phone I was met with countless force close messages.

Yes, I was thinking that might be the route I have to go, but I was hoping there would be some way to uninstall those problem causing applications (namely Launcher Pro) somehow. I don't know how I would go about uninstalling it though, as my phone is basically rendered useless due to the constant force closing.

But thanks a lot for the input!
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
i don't think theres a difference between our phones, mines Tmobile Vibrant, but theres a built-in feature in stock, and most custom roms called SAFE MODE.

most people don't know about this.

This mode helps you do exactly what your facing, uninstall apps that act up.

In Safe Mode, it disables any startups and all that shiz.

Try going in like this.

shut down phone.

press power and wait till it get on vibrant screen, then start holding the MENU KEY the whole way until it starts.

the way to know if thsi worked is.. on the bottom left hand corner, it'll say SAFE MODE with a box aroundi t.

if this doesn't work, ODIN is the best way.
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
If you haven't turned it off recently, try a reboot. Yeah, standard boring advice, but I had constant-force-close issues a few months ago and a reboot fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] DS1495:
So I somehow managed to get into the task manager by long pressing the home button, then from their I was able to uninstall Launcher Pro. So the CONSTANT force closing has stopped.

BUT, I still have plenty of other apps that are force closing very consistently. For example, everytime I go into the messaging application it force closes, so I can't send or receive texts. Along with that, Facebook, 'Clock', Samsung Apps, & Market are force closing.

When I go into the market it says **Connection Error (or something like that) and then sometimes force closes....so this problem renders the market useless as well.

Oh, and when I go into safe mode, I still get the constant force closing... but thanks for that info! I had no idea you could even go into safe mode with this phone.

Honestly, at the point flashing stock firmware back into ODIN is looking like my best option, but I reallllllly don't want to lose all of my installed apps, and text messages, and whatnot.

Anybody have any other ideas?

btw, thanks a lot for the input so far!
[Android Apps and Games] DS1495:
So I did a backup of all my data using the speedmod recovery menu (volume up, home, power)

If I reflash the PDA in ODIN, will I still have the speedmod kernel, thus allowing me to recover my backup of installed apps, texts, etc.?

Or will re-flashing wipe the backup and get rid of the speedmod kernel..?
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
Idk what the speed mod thing is.. But yes. It will be erased.

If u want to save backups of apps..

Get titanium back up doesn't matter if u get pro or free.

Just restart on everything dude.. Like a clean fresh install.

Its something that u installed or flashed that's causing these problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Kwokinator:
Sounds like your phone's internal SD is dying. Our Bell Vibrant has a nasty habit of the internal SDs dying, and I've heard that force closing all the time is one of the signs that the SD is going. There's a thread in development about this. I suggest you start backing everything up
[Android Apps and Games] DS1495:
Alright, I started from scratch and now everything is working great! thanks for your help guys!

plus, now I'm even running Darky's v7.5 Gingerbread Edition, this ROM is soooo epic. haha
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
No problem.

just glad your phone works great.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dark69nz:
Well I have the X10 Mini Pro U20i, if you tell me where I could find the number I'll gladly help you :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeremyward420:
If you have root use root explorer or some other root explorer head to /system/build.prop and have a look in there on the 14th line down is should say:

ro.product.name=U20i_123*-***

I need the numbers on the end all eight.

Or use CMD on windows and pull the file with adb:

cd c:\where you adb is stored....
adb shell

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dark69nz:
Oh I thought the number was on the phone, I'm on 2Degrees :/ sorry.

Edit: I'm roaming on the vodafone network though as 2degrees doesn't have towers in Timaru

The numbers are U20i_1238-8838 if needed :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vanadium101:

[Epic 4G General] Zysoclaplem:
One Carrier. One device yearly. Multiple updates throughout the year. But one of the best parts, imo, No AT&T control. Apple seems to have complete control. I know a lot of people who really dislike that, but I know even more who are pulling their hair out because they signed a two year contract on a device that may never see Android 2.3. Or by the time it does there will be 20 newer, better and faster devices out with 3.0. It's frustrating when you not only have to wait on Google to produce a newer update, but then you have to wait on the phone manufacturer to produce an update due to their proprietary UI, and then have to wait on the carrier to add their bloatware and restrictions.

These forums are our only way to vent these frustrations. The carrier doesn't care, and the manufacturer doesn't care. They have your name on the dotted line. You are theirs for the next two years if you don't want an ETF.

Why not release stock Android with the option of carrier UI download?

Or at least a system where you can go to stock Android for your device, downloaded directly from Google in an itunes manner if you wanted.

I hear the term "fragmented" a lot these days when people talk about Android. So many devices with so many versions of Android.

I've heard talk of an Android overhaul with 3.0. May'be rumors.

When we do get 2.2, We will go through the whole thing over again for 2.3.

2.3 is already out. It should be made ready for all Android devices that can support it an be available as a download for those devices. At the same time the carriers should be working on their custom UI and have that downloadable ASAP. May'be that's impossible due to the fact that Google doesn't produce these devices, just the base software on them.

Just my rant/questions/vent
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
I do see your point.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Samsung site is advertising 2.2 froyo for epic?

I never looked at it that way. We definitely wouldn't be that pissed now. Although samsung is slapping us in the face advertising froyo 2.2 for our phones here http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SPH-D700ZKASPR-features
[Epic 4G General] dakarf:

[Epic 4G General] gotgadget:
This ish pissis me off...... and I'm in us stuck on unofficial 2.2
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
What device hasn't been upgraded either officially or through custom roms within a year of its release to a newer build of Android? The iPhone gets updates once a year.

Anyone pulling their hair out because their device isn't getting an official port of Android 2.3 is an idiot to begin with. Buy devices that are worthy on their own with current software. Don't hope that you MAY get an update to make it the phone you really want. And if you somehow NEED to get updates because your e-peen just won't be big enough without the latest Android build on your phone, then buy a damn nexus 1 or S.
[Epic 4G General] Zysoclaplem:
Just talking about one slice of the Apple, not the whole thing. There is also something good to be said of openness and choice.

There is just so much anger and frustration when it comes to Android and I think a lot of it has to do with manufacturer and carrier control and their decision to keep the consumer out of the loop. Vague and general answers are not much better than no answers at all. The "you'll get it when you get it" attitude some people have, although it's true, does not ease the sense of irritation.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Theres no way cr-apple had the right idea, there while system is flawed right down to one piece of hardware for all. All other things aside, I hate apple hardware period. And everyone having the sandstone except for color is stupid. Android ftw. Open hardware/software ftw. Samoled ftw.

[Epic 4G General] cozmonot:
While maybe apple doesn't have the right idea it sounds like windows phone 7 may have it right. Multiple devices, multiple carriers, multiple form factors, manufacterer controlled updates. Too bad its not as awesome as android yet
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
The thing is its messy right now but once 3.0 comes things will change a lot...why? simple, right now Google is releasing bi-annually..and not waiting for manufacturers to catch up...once 3.0 hits Android will be released once a year...Google will also start working closer with their partners and manufacturers...

In reality I don't think Apple or WP7 has the right idea...simply because right now entered a cell phone age..aka phone specs are jumping every year by a good leap...

Apple has a policy where they upgraded the 3gs and the 3g to version 4 which is nice for average consumers..but at the same time it kinda forces partners to limit themselves to the minimum specs...same will happen with WP7 and their minimum of snapdragons...once dual cores come out and apps take advantage of these, all WP7 devices will be left behind because the apps have to be backwards compatible with the lower specced versions..(now I know they may have implementations of which hardware can use what App..but then both M$ and Apple would be eating their own words of "fragmentation" as they call it)

I can understand how an average consumer would be left out right now..but at same time average consumer does not care much for upgrades as much as we do either...either way past 3.0 it will get a lot better..
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
apple and windows are limited because thats the way they want it. f*** that. this android is the most universal device ive ever seen. the os is written very well. i like no limits or restrictions to the possibilities other than the hardware. do you really think the next iphone will have a dual core sssshhhhtttt i doubt it. even if it does it will still be slower than this phone ha. google is getting their act together with android because it is in their best interest because they will make way more money off of all the advertising from everytime we search stuff and the info they get from when we use navigation.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] punisher2008:
Just wondering if there is an app out there that will allow me to connect to youtube or pandora cause my work's wifi blocks the use of these apps. I currently work at The Home Depot on the freight team and we are allowed to listen to music after the store closes as we put away new freight.

Home Depot is now putting wifi into all of their stores but the downside is apps like youtube and pandora are blocked and also their websites are blocked so we cannot access them.

Just need an app that will connect me to a proxy or someway get around these blocks while on wifi.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Fenny:
depends on how it's blocked, if it is blocking the IP itself, then you will have to proxy or something, and it it's just blocking by DNS, all you need is a manual hosts entry.

You can try using orbot. itll run your phone through the TOr network which has always been good and worked well with my schools wifi! you need to be on 2.1 though, i hear there are isssues with 2.2

[Captivate Themes and Apps] DarrellRaines:
You can use the advanced settings on your wifi connection to enter your proxy of choice. You could set up your own proxy at home using several scripts and what not found across the web.

I would link you to some, but as an IT Consultant, I hate when people try to circumvent my settings to keep all the users safe, even if it's something that won't cause problems and in this case most likely they do it as they have low amounts of bandwith and 2 or more people streaming youtube music or pandora could bring the network to a halt for other users.

I am in Singapore and can buy a Desire HD to bring back to the US. I've read the incompatibility discussions with 3G in the US but the Desire HD that I am looking at seems to have a different chipset that the phone manual says supports the 850/1900 band, which would imply 3G compatibility in the the US. Should I take the chance?! Thoyughts? Wisdom? Advice. please! Thanks! And Happy New Year all!:)
[Nook Color General] menupan:
My NC rebooted for reasons of H/W.

Circuit of mini PCB of power button is not shielded, (-) contact and (+) contact are barely opened. And one of those contacts may touch inner metal frame.

I covered bottom of PCB with an insulator(paper), and no more unintended reboot.

I think a gap between PCB contact and metal was enough at first. But when I rooted my NC, exactly pushed power, Vol+ and n button at the same time, the PCB could be misalighed. (PCB is fixed with an adhesive.)

After un-root and factory-reset, reboots still remains, power button may as well be suspected.
[Nook Color General] nookroot:
unrelated but curious

so let me get this right you have disassembled your nc ?

do you have a guide or make one i have been searching for a guide

As in on the lock screen and the notifications drawer?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gotsomekorn:
Yes, I'd be interested in that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MysteryEmotionz:
If its anything like the epic it is in framework-res.apk. Decompile the framework and open up strings.xml. Look for zz_roamingguard_1 our something like that. On the epic it said sprint so for your phone hopefully it says att. Switch it to w/e you like. Compile the framework.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gotsomekorn:
Can't find it. Anywhere else I should look. I've been searching but to no avail.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MysteryEmotionz:
Cab you upload me just the framework-res.apk and I'll dig around tonight
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gotsomekorn:
Here it is.

Oh, and thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MysteryEmotionz:
Thank you. I'll look around when I get home

[Captivate Themes and Apps] delutedsoul23:
nope not in there either
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Archpope:
One thing to bear in mind for locating it is that it's not in a plain text format. It's a variable indicating what network you're on. If you go somewhere that AT&T doesn't cover, it'll change to whatever carrier is available. I'm not sure how it'd be represented as a variable, but that's what you're looking for.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
So I'm getting closer... I was able to pin point the call for the notification drop down to change the color of the carrier text only.

Let me do a little more digging and I should get it figured out...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] inku:
Changing the color of the text is easy but that trick that evo users have works cause their devices are CMDA, i tried to changed this long time ago and searched if someone with a GSM android did it and didn't found anything and since the carrier text interact with the SIM card i can't see how it would be possible but hey don't let me stop you guys this is a nice mod i would like to see working too:).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Enough said?

Lock screen comes next... Should have it done shortly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] inku:
I see you have no service did you took out the sim card or whats going on?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
I had just rebooted. I noticed a new flaw when you pointed that out though. If I go out of service or turn on flight mode it doesn't change to "(No Service)" or "Emergency Call..."
[Captivate Themes and Apps] inku:
Is that's cause you edited the xml or something bad with the rom?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Yeah. The XML now hides the carrier text and shows what I tell it to.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] inku:
Yeah that trick works i did something similar with the clear button on that notification pulldown you are using,nice work you're doing hope you get it done nicely.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Same concept but for the lock screen...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] delutedsoul23:
Where are these files located to alter them
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
The notification is in twframework/res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml and the lock screen depends on which one you're using. Mine was in framework/res/layout/keyguard_tab.xml or something like that. I can't remember the exact name of the xml. I'll post my changes later tonight or tomorrow.

I'm still playing with the smali files to see if I can make the changes right.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] delutedsoul23:
Thank you sir
[Captivate Themes and Apps] random1204:
Best way?

What's the easiest way to change xml files? I have notepad++?

Also, which part do i change exactly? I'm going through this and I figured if it's text that shows up, there's text in the xml that says AT&T right? but all i can find is "att" I didn't touch anything yet, as I'm kind of new to the hex editing and xml editing.

If anyone can just tell me those things for the lockscreen and notifications I'd be very grateful!
