Thanks, I'll give it a try. I find it interesting though that the docs don't have the remove command. Also, I found an adb wiki that also does not have the remove command but does have an uninstall command. Why the differences? Oh well, even though I did not see it in the docs I should have at least tried the uninstall for grins before I posted. It is late so I will try both tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Hello to everyone!

I've been recently having some troubles with my evo 4g. I'm running fresh 3.5.0.1 and just updated my radios to 1.90_003 . Right before i upgraded (from fresh 3.4 or 3.3 not sure) I started to have problems with my text messages.

First i noticed that i got one from "the future" it was timestamped about 2 hours ahead of what time it was and i didn't recieve a notification for it. So i checked for some updates since it had been a while and upgraded everything i was suppose to (ota,radio,wimax,pri,etc). Now my messages seem to have the same problem if not more. I get alerted 5 or 10 minutes after i receive the message, while going through my conversations say i select a convo with my friend zack and convo from my friend kyle will come up, and i will have to go back and select it again.

So i'm wondering if this is a service provider problem or something with the apps for custom firmware i'm using. Could it be caused by an app like JuiceDefender?
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
The timestamp issue usually only happens when roaming, but can also be caused by network issues in general. My old flip phone, rumor, and instinct all had that issue from time to time.

The other issue with opening one text and getting someone else is an android issue, engadget reported on that today actually.

[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:
Yeah I have been having time stamp issues also. And when someone replies, it puts them all above my txts sent that day, so I gotta constantly scroll up to read txts.

Anyone got any idea's on fixing this?
[EVO 4G General] Phillysphinest1:
^^That happens to me too^^ I thought my phone was just fcukin up. It does it when someone sends me a pic. Puts it at the top of the convo's for that day...

I got a "VERY" important text 20 mins late the other day too. 20 mins too late!!! Pissed me off!!!!:mad:
[EVO 4G General] rollerpig:
good to know that i'm not the only one experiencing this problem hopefully gets fixed soon. if i had to guess i think it's most likely a problem/conflict with sprint and android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shotdog:
Hey I just have a little quedtion

I just bought a new galaxy s and I am just wondering what will get better results

all I want for now is lagfix ...so

Should I update to froyo then root or root and stay at 2.1

What will givr me better results??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0097:
I think you should update to the JPX Firmware and then search for the JPA WiFi driver in the Forum. Because the JPX is so good that you do not need a lagfix. Just root it with CF Root. Do not take the JPY because it has a bad GPS problem.

PS: You can do it without flashing the JPA driver but then your battery

will lose aproximately 10% of charge per hour.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shotdog:
thanks for your answer ... But if I update to jpx and dont need lagfix why do I need to Root it ??

Btw am I supposed to be doing something differrent becausr I was going to update through kies...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0097:
I know that the JPX is an offical firmware but I thought it is only aviable in England over Kies? I haven't tried to update my Galaxy S over Kies because my friend did this and he bricked his one with that. I use Odin because it's more Stable.

If you root your phone than you have special functions for your phone. The CF Root flash too the 2e Recovery in which you can start the Clockworkmod. And trou this you can backup your whole file system. So if you ever will have a problem you can just flash back.

Like Time machine for the Mac.

Is that a reason for you to root? If no then you can live happy wihout it ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
Newly bought galaxy S eh?

Do your firmware update via Kies and stay away from Odin until you've read all the necessary stickies in this forum on how to update and what to back up.

Check the other questions/issues here in the Q&A about new sgs users getting in all sorts of trouble because they got too excited and flashed without reading and comprehending first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shotdog:
Hey, thanks for all replies....

I am i total newbie on on galaxy s related stuff,

all i want to do is a lagfix.... i dont want to use roms or anything i like my phone how it is but i just want it a little faster...

I think my phone version is JG3? I want to update officially using kies...

once i kno more about this phone i might try some other ****..

but for now i just want to keep it simple.....

so from what i gathered is that if i update through kies i will get JPX which is the best official thing? then i dont need a lagfix?
[G2 and Desire Z General] phelland:
Hey guys,

Once again thanks to all the developers who work so hard at making my phones so awesome.

Anyway, I just got the desire z from canada yesterday and I am using it on At&t here in southern california. The bell version has 3G bands on 850/1900 and the reception around riverside/san bernardino/inland empire here in california on At&t is usually quite good (go figure!). Anyhow, I have multiple cell phones including samsung focus, palm pre plus, and iPhone 4, and each one of them is pushing harder and faster data speeds than my desire Z :( When I run the speed test.net program on my iPhone 4, I average 1.2mps down, 0.5 up roughly. I have never seen my desire z go past 0.5mbs down/0.4 mps up. And yes, I have the "H" symbol with my settings on gsm/wcdma (I have even tried gsm only, wcdma only). Now, when I run the speed test on my verizon fios 25 down/25up, it pull something like 16mps down/9mps up! Also, when running the speed test over the network (cellular), I see it initially jump into 1.0mps down but then it starts to stutter and eventually gives me a slow ass connection :( When running wireless on fios however, it is butter smooth! (Yes I have changed servers on the speed tests all the way from kansas to new york!). Any thoughts?

BTW --> running stock bell rom with no rooting done yet.....might end up returning this

another BTW --> this phone is amazing! flawless in all aspects except data speed :(

Any feedback is always highly appreciated!

Happy New Year everyone,

Paul
[G2 and Desire Z General] Frostshock:
Are you sure you entered the APN for AT&T correctly? On Bell I can pull anywhere from 1.5 to 6 mbps depending on where I am, so if your particular phone actually has reception issues it's an isolated incident.

Although it's worth noting that you're not actually doing all that bad speed wise when compared with your iPhone 4. You're getting half the speed, but it's really only 0.7 mbps less. If your iPhone was getting 3 mbps consistently and your Desire Z was getting 1.5 or less consistently, then there would be a major issue. It sounds like AT&T in your area just really, really sucks.

[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I don't think changing that actually does anything. The radio bands are set in hardware and can't be changed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I have the same device running on AT&T in Northern California.

I get decent speeds here, about 1.75-2.5 mb/s download on average. I am rooted and did not run the speed test prior to root to have a figure to compare against.

One thing I would check would be the settings in speedtest. When I originally ran it, it went off of a server in Kansas for some reason. I updated the list to a nearby location and the speeds were back to normal. I would set it to connect to the same servers as your other devices and then compare the speeds.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acaelus:
Hi,

I was just trying out a few ROMs, and after flashing CyanogenMod (The stable release, can't remember the exact name) and then doing a full wipe and restoring my LeeDroid Nandroid backup, I ran into a bit of a kerfuffle...

After booting up, I was greeted with blank homescreens - which was a bit annoying, but nothing too bad - and so went to get started on repopulating them.. only to find hardly any apps were present. I put this down to some of them not having synced yet, until I noticed that even system apps were missing; Market, Music etc - not a single downloaded/sideloaded app is present. They appear under the "Manage Applications" section of the Settings menu but only Data and Cache are present, not the Application themselves.

I reflashed the Nandroid backup again (and again), and was met with the same, only Astro File Manager had miraculously appeared so I could at least install some apps from my SD Card using that. So after installing the Market and Root Explorer from there, I could see that the System Apps were infact there, but required manual installation. I can't even re-download all of the lost Apps, as even attempting to select one in the Market leads to a force close.

I can effectively do nothing, except use the tiny array of Apps that are actually there, which at least does include Messaging and Phone. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this, or a partial-solution at least?

Thanks :)

Ok, just as I finished typing this the Factory Reset finished and everything loaded. It seems everything is working now, but still, I'm just left with System Apps and with no sign of my other apps syncing/downloading.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leith51:
After the wipe factory reset did you do nandroid install again straight after?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acaelus:
Yeah, and the same happened again. I tried various nandroids from all sorts of ROMs, and I would just get the same, even restoring the Stock ROM.

That said, the thread may as well be closed, I just went and did everything manually and everything's fine now. It took many hours, but it's in a usable state now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vuedesprit:
i expect u will face the same problem soon as long as ur apps list will grow and be installed on ur device, this is a big issue i faced and still experimenting to get the best solution for, but currently the most effective cure is to mount ur sd card to a card reader, and go to the folder android_secure, cut some bunch of files ther(maybe half of them) and past to ur desktop, mount back the sd to ur device, ur phone will bahave normally now, this will work great after ur nandroid backup, when u see it work, try again the previous step and start to add files to android_secure folder from ur desktop, untill the bad behaviors start to occur.

hope this will help
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jon1029:
I am having a hard time deciding between the seidio Rugged or one of the otterbox cases. I am a contractor and need a protective case badly. I have had the incredible since launch. used the case/belt clip combo from verizon store...the one that doesn't cover the ends...dumb case imo. and ended up taking that off recently to just slide phone in pocket, as that case didn't protect the phone very much at all. but the best one available at the store at launch.

I ended up having to get a replacement phone, and recieved it today. I want to be able to protect this one better.

Physical damage and dust are both a problem durring work hours.

I wish I could find these new cases at a local store to compare in person.

Has anyone seen both of these types of cases?

which do you like better, and why?

I am leaning toward the seido because of the two different cases that come with it. I like to slide the phone in my pocket on weekends.

thanks,

Jon
[Droid Incredible Accessories] itisjustme:
Oh wow, your story is a direct parallel to mine! I am a mechanical contractor (HVAC/R) who also has the incredible since launch, I myself have been using the the belt clip and shell that resembles diamond plate sold by verizon, an ok case but just doesnt cut it in the trades.

A month ago I bought the Otterbox defender, while it covers the phone well and adds much better protection, the fit of the phone inside is poor, I broke the belt clip two weeks into owning it. Otterbox did replace the belt clip but the time it took was almost two weeks. Just a few days ago the little detent on the otterbox that holds the phone in the holster broke so now I'm back to square one.

Just yesterday I decided to ordered Seidio Rugged case from amazon, I never owned nor held one but I figured it would be money better spent rather than buying another otterbox. I just don't think the otterbox quality is quite there. I expect to have the new case on or around 1-06-2011 and after I get it and put it to use I will update you on it so you can make a better decision.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jon1029:
thanks for the response...

I have read about different peoples experiences with these different cases, and still wish I could see them in person before purchasing. I am really close to going ahead with the Seidio Rugged, and might order it today.

Jon
[Droid Incredible Accessories] BenHolliday:
I'm also a contractor installing satellites and am very happy with the Seidio Rugged.

What sold me on the Seidio Rugged was the "Face In" design and the 3 layers of protection. Sure, the 3 layers adds mega thickness but doing all the "cell destructive" stuff I do, it's a very minor thing to deal with. In fact, the few times I've taken the case off, the phone felt too small and fragile.

On the second Seidio Rugged case simply because in a stupid moment just grabbed the phone and ripped it off my belt instead of taking the clip off. No idea what was thinking but needed a new clip so just got the whole thing again.

But yeah, if you use a tool belt, climb ladders, crawl under houses, or any of the crazy dirty stuff contractors do, get a Rugged.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nelms:
landscape installer/maintainer here. go with the seidio. im hard on all my stuff. and i have had the rugged for 6 mo. and havent destroyed it yet. locking mech. and belt clip still work fine. and the 3 layers on the actual case is very protective.

got mine on amazon for under 40 shipped.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] spiritcrusher33:
seidio rugged here also.. best case Ive used...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jon1029:
I ordered the Seidio rugged today.

looking forward to it getting it here...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] cuban11182:
My Seidio Rugged outer skeleton snapped yesterday. I wasn't applying any pressure, just taking it off and snap. So I ordered a Case-Mate Tough Case. I'm sure it will work just fine.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] toolfan2k4:
This happened to mine as well. Seidio is good about replacing it....no real need to buy a new case. At any rate I recommend the rugged case. I have dropped my phone more times than I would care to admit and this case has saved it a few times over. I figured my exoskeleton was weakened from all the drops...and I had the tendency to take it off and put it back on for no reason when i got bored.:p Also it looks bad *** in my opinion...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] itisjustme:
Well as I explained in an earlier post I have been using the Otterbox Defender and while it offers more protection than other cases I have used it simply seem to lack quality and convenience. I did order the Seidio Rugged case to give it a shot and to my suprise when I came home from work today my rugged case was delivered. I wasn't expecting it until 1-06-2011.

I have to say after getting my phone in it and set up my initial feelings are it appears to be a well designed case that offers very nice protection to the phone and actually adds less bulk than the otterbox. I have not used it in the field yet but I will update after a day or two in the field. But I must say at this moment I am very pleased with my decision on the Rugged case and am kicking myself in the but for not making it my first my first choice.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jon1029:
received the Rugged case today....

the case was in the mailbox today.

I am impressed with the case. and will feel a lot better about the protection for my Incredible phone when on the job site. When all of the case components are on the phone, it definitely adds quite a bit of bulk. That will be something for me to get use to, for sure. But, I feel that it will not be a problem.

I can totally understand how some people have accidently torn the rubber access piece off that covers the micro usb port. I hope I don't tear it off, but realistically feel that it is just a matter of time, as it is a very small piece of rubber that keeps it attached...

I really like the fact that the innocase II is the base layer. I expect that it will be my weekend case.

I thought about not applying the screen protector, due to the problems i have had in the past applying screen protectors (ie...bubbles that won't go away, dust particles, etc.)...but, decided to try it. Well, it applied better than I ever could have hoped for. I started by aligning it at the top around the ear speaker, and just smoothed it out as I let it apply itself to the screen. It fits well for the most part, but could have been just a hair longer from top to bottom.

I am excited to have this case. I only wish I had not waited this long to make myself spend the money on it.

Hopefully i will be this happy with it in the coming days and weeks...

[Droid Incredible Accessories] JerseyFF:
I tore the rubber camera protector flap off my rugged maybe 2 months ago now, I contacted Seidio and they had a replacement outer rubber to me within a week. They are good about replacements.

(Note I was also only a week outside of the warranty period)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] lightninjay:
Seidio Rugged is a Wonderful Case

I have had the Seidio Rugged case for about two weeks now and it's wonderful! I don't find myself using the holster much, only when I go on a run do I attach it to an armband and slip the phone in the case so I can track my runs with Cardio Trainer.

I really like the feel of the case. It makes me feel like I'm holding a more powerful phone in my hands, whereas without the case, I feel like it's just too light to perform as well as it does. lol. However, size doesn't matter as some say, and is always a personal preference.

I would definitely say get the case if you want more protection and are willing to make the phone a few millimeters thicker. I definitely worry less about my phone breaking now. My only gripe is the camera cover tends not to stay pinned back in the little restraint Seidio made for it. Beyond that, wonderful case all around and I'd recommend getting it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] BenHolliday:
Bloody hell!!!!

Have had this case for months and have FOUGHT that damn flap every time!! Never even noticed that little hole.... Use the flash light app every day almost to see behind peoples TV's and audio equipment and have always had to hold the flap down....

Thank you VERY MUCH for your post. Feel like an idiot, but happy to know it now.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Bloodflame:
As a construction worker, I was about to buy an Otterbox before stumbling upon this thread. Did some research, looked at a few videos, and I think I'm gonna settle for the Seidio now. Either way, both look like great cases and I couldn't go wrong with either. The Seidio on the other hand converts to a normal case when not on the job site, so that's where it wins IMO. Also, the belt clip looks better designed. Thanks XDA! You guys rule! :D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] heyja3:
Cannot say I have ANY complaints about the rugged. Think about it this way: when you need it protected, you have 3 layers + a holster. If you want simple, but cased, you got the Innocase II underneath which still can hold its own as a case not to mention that it looks nice and slim also. The thing that sold me though was the holster. It comes with a lock switch which means that this baby aint never falling off. I can remove, unlock, lock, attach the phone all with my index and thumb. So easy, yet so secure.

However, I did have one gripe about this phone, and that was the covers for the USB port and the Headphone jack. It has no notches to pull out easily and it tends to get lost in the groove that it fits in to. At first, I was extremely aggravated that this happened and was worried I would ruin the rubber. BUT I found that when I pinch the sides of the case (which I totally forgot was rubber), the flaps would pop out like nothing.

So yes, the one thing that would have held me back was solved, and I am happy to report that this thing is a beast. Of course if you don't want a big thing to lug around, then don't get this, but I gotta say... it feels like a tank, and I feel secure taking this thing everywhere with me now. =D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] n8w:
I've had the rugged for quite a while...just to have it really. Being a social worker doesn't really but my dinc at risk. I do enjoy the feel of having it in the case when I do though, although it seems that sometimes the holster seems to catch the rubber a bit more than I'd like. I'm glad to see it seems to be a step above the otterbox.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Derrtydozen:
i'm been using the ottorbox commuter and i've had no problem, i love it cause its not as bulky as other cases.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rotaryboots:
Ya definitely going with the seidio rugged case setup. I can do without the belt clip attachment though. I can see that breaking off within a week at work with me. But the rest of the case(s) are just what I'm looking for.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] firewater88:
Thanks for the thoughts, I am in the same boat as you guys.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rotaryboots:
Hey, thought this was worth mentioning, take a look at the Trident Kraken cases for the incredible. I'm between getting the rugged or a kraken at the moment. Both protect the phone pretty good, both about the same price. Maybe the kraken is a little cheaper. Also, both come with screen protectors.

Thought I'd bring that to the table. Been doing some flee-bay browsing and came across another tough case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jon1029:
Follow up...

Just a follow up ...

I have to be honest, I have used the first layer of this case, innocase II, more than the three layers as a whole. The innocase is a nice sleek protective case that slides in and out of my front pocket easily. I guess it has been hard for me to get use to carrying my inc on my hip again after carrying in my pocket for a while.

I have dropped my Inc a couple of times with the innocase only on. It was dropped from a standing position, one time dropped from the seat of my truck (lifted 4x4) to pavement, No damage to my phone at all. And the case doesn't show damage much at all, either.

The screen protector seems to scratch fairly easy, though. I have a lot of micro scratches on the screen protector on the bottom half of the screen area. This is due to my hands being somewhat rough, as I am a contractor.

So, in review, the rugged case is worth purchasing if you like to wear yours on your hip. It is extremely tough and durable. Or even if you don't carry on hip but need the most protection possible. I would have been happy with just the innocase II, which protects the Inc enough for me while still being pocketable.
