[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skud51:
Hi all,

The recent ruling of the California Supreme Court got me thinking about having the ability to quickly password protect my phone and/or block access. Currently, I just have the stock homescreen and I don't want to have to enter a PIN everytime I unlock my phone.. I could go with the pattern though. That may be an option.

Although I'm not in California (I'm in Canada) I've heard instances here where the police have demanded people hand over their phones to check if they were texting while driving.

Is there an app/icon which could be put on the homescreen that when run would password protect the phone?

I'm using No Lock. I have a lock pattern set but with no lock widget I have that turned off. I can quickly hit the no lock widget then the power button to turn off the screen. When the screen is turned on again, the pattern unlock has to be used.

i just flashed ra recovery from clockwork where do i put the cm6 zip so it can be flashed? also where do i put my clockwork recovery nand backup so ra recovery can see it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Put the zip anywhere and clockwork backups won't work on ra.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If it's the new RA recovery(2.1.1 I think? or 2.2?), it can be anywhere. I haven't used it yet (still on 1.8.0, if it's not broke, don't fix it), so I don't know how to navigate folders with it. On RA 1.8.0, the zip has to be on the root of your sd card for it to see it. And as the other guy said, you can't use clockwork nandroid backups on RA, and vice versa. So I suggest making backups with both, definitely is safe.

I think it is an underpowered netbook. :P

Looks ok but I think I will stick to my netbook.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
I will stick with pure Google experience tablet ... The one without customization ... The one that will receive update directly ... The one that is BLESSED by Google!

I don't know which one, probably the XOOM ... The Motorola Android tablet.
[Nexus S General] Corvidd:
I really can't understand the success of tablets. I see their potential as a casual browsing device, but they fill a hole between phones and computers which wasn't all that gaping. They are completely a luxury object, without the nature of practicality and necessity which phones and traditional computers have, and at the overblown price some are sold at, its a wonder they shift so many units.

But the weirdest thing, I think, is rear facing cameras on tablets. I mean, who wants to whip out a device the size of a book or larger to take a photo? And yet it seems to go unquestioned, even celebrated.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
Tablet is nice ... more portable compare to laptop ... and bigger screen compare to mobile phone.

I need one and I need one now :)

Because I can see me using it in the couch ... bed ... sofa ... etc.

And yes, I don't need rear camera .... and give me WIFI only ...

No wifi only = no deal ...
[Desire HD General] override182:
I have been wondering, after flashing custom roms, will i have a chance to lose my premium navigation licence which perhaps i purchased or entered the voucher code which i get from the box?

To those who used the voucher or purchased, did u lose the licence or it will sync back in the licence? Where is the licence stored btw, in ur phone or on server according to imei?

And also, for the premium navigation voucher code, is it lifetime or dated?

Thanks in advance to all replies
[Desire HD General] Oxidative42:
I recently flashed my first custom rom, wiping everything before. Didn't sync anything back, still the premium navigation is working fine (30 days test license). On the first run it will pop up the usual activation screen, so I suspect the license is saved on a server and bound to your IMEI.
[Desire HD General] FletchNZ:
I was on my 2nd 30 day trial yesterday, before my first trial expired I flashed my phone back to stock with a RUU (1.32) and I got to activate premium navigation for another 30 days, however when i upgraded locations today it removed the 2nd license :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
The licence is bound to you IMEI. If you ever send your phone in to htc make sure you record your imei first. If they replace the handset they will need both the old and new imei to transfer the licence.

[Desire HD General] LinoX:
what voucher code?

I didn't find any voucher code in my DHD box....

Where should it be?
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Not everyone gets one. Its a promotional code and comes as an extra from certain carriers and resellers. Kinda like some stores will throw in a free car charge and deals along those lines.

Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD.
[Desire HD General] FletchNZ:
Damn, that’s disappointing. I just flashed Revolution HD and formatted SD card and when I synced my license it changed my Navigation License expiry again, probably the DRM ID on the key must have to match the phone or something like that is stopping it. maybe just copy the time and grace values in to your current key then sync? I'm just guessing...

EDIT:

I was comparing my old phone.dat with my new one and I noticed a couple of things that might help. the first was that they have since done a version upgrade of locations and I don't know if that fixed anything, the second was after i had entered in my random values to the key, when I synced the license it reset all of the values back in my phone.dat to default but I now have 2 keys instead of one
[Desire HD General] arzme:
Here is my experience. In my case my DHD came with a voucher license for one free navigation. I activate it and an email was send to my email stating tht i have one "Perpetual license" of the country i choose to my phone IMEI.

Just recently, i 'root' my phone, format my mSD so that i can create EXT3 partition and flash a custom rom. I do a full wipe for the flash. I have to download again the maps tht i need but the moment i request for navigation, the program gave me 3 options, Buy, Voucher or Sync License. I choose Sync License, and i got back my navigation for my country.

so flash custom rom to ur heart desire.... HD :D
[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
I find this rather strange. When I got my phone in November the phone part in premium navigation didn't work, after a reboot it worked and has ever since. The premium navigationhas worked almost daily ever since. I've not activated or put any codes / purchased any licences. Have I missed something or am I just lucky?

Cheers
[Desire HD General] ahkwang:
AFAIK you can onli flash sense-based ROMs like android Revolution ROM though to enjoy the htc navigation.
[Desire HD General] audiobookman:
aggghhh, spoke too soon, it went to 30day trial today, not bad i suppose ive been using it since begining of november.

i dont think i will purchase when it runs out - having no postcode search is the deal breaker tbh

[Desire HD General] tamborlin:
Hi, apologies for reviving this thread, but was looking to put on a custom ROM to my HTC Vision, and the topic of this thread is what is holding me off until now since I paid fifty euro for my permanent premium navigation

So after reading all the posts in this thread, can I safely assume that as long as I flash a ROM which also contains Sense, I will be able to keep my premium navigation?

Thanks for your time and help guys
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
Correct.
[Desire HD General] tamborlin:
Wow, thanks a million for that fast reply. Very much appreciated Oly. I'm really looking forward to flash my Vision ... Now it's time to fish for custom roms with Sense.

Thanks again:)

Sorry if this has been posted before but I cannot find it anywhere on this forum.

When I unlock my phone, there is a good 1-2 seconds before the lockscreen appears, whereas a few days ago it used to be instant.. not installed any dodgy apps in the mean time (that I can see anyway)

Anyone else had the same issue?

What ROM are you running?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sami-s:
It was almost instant with stock android 2.1 and 2.2... now it's instant with darky's rom. try hard reset or another lock screen app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oworsnop:
I am running Darky's 7.7 also.. just done a factory reset and tried a stock rom but still the same.. Might be something to do with hardware now me thinks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpy:
There should be a delay. 2 seconds doesn't sound normal, but it shouldn't be instant either.

Delay = phone in deep sleep = saving battery.

No delay = phone not sleeping = draining battery

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mazda:
Alright, so here's my problem. My touchscreen won't response to any finger movement. I could press the hardware buttons like power, volume and talk and it response to that but my problem is mainly trying to get inside my rom. I tried flashing rom via NAND and via clockwork mod and nothing helps. The G Sensor seems to work just fine because it rotates the screen when I'm inside my ROM. I could go back into MAGLDR but I don't think anything there is going to help?

Has anyone else experience anything like this and if so, what did you do to solve it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tidygrant:
had same problem, found a FIX

i have had same problem past couple of days. i was running darkstones SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5 build with oz 2 cleanex rom. i know that every now and again it would be a pain to unlock the device with the agonising wait for the lock screen to show up but this time the touch screen would not work at all not recognising any movement and not dragging the unlock button across. i would have to take the battery out and restart, even some times touch screen would fail completely when in winmo too, got to a point when 3 days of working then not working and taking the battery out a million times to boot back into android to unlock the device, then touch screen died completely.

FIX- Hard reset

will reset windows mobile. all data on device will be lost.

hold down up-vol key and down-vol key, soft reset button and then power button till it displays formatting screen. follow on screen instructions.

hope this helps.

well i have woke up this morning to be able to unlock my device to then locking it and not being able to unlock it again!!! i had notification to say it had managed to restore 16 apps whilst i had been asleep so i am thinking there is a dodgy app out there some were
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] neileisenhauer:
I have this problem and have found no way to fix it, I have tried everything except possibly going to the clk loader instead of magldr. when i put the phone to sleep with the power button is when i have the issue of not being able to unlock my phone in Android. I have tried task 29, going back to original windows roms, sd and nandroid, it is a hardware issue related to the digitizer as far as I'm concerned. I love my HD2 and really need to fix or find another one. I know this doesn't help, but maybe a little more insite if nothing else
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bugdeyez:
I had the same issue. With my 1st HD2 it started as an intermittent problem, then eventually completely stopped working. With my replacement it just started to happen again. I immediately flashed back to stock tmo windows and the touchscreen would work so long as I did not try and put the phone on standby or wake the phone using the end key. If the phone went to standby on its own, the touchscreen would not work either. I changed the settings so that the phone would not go into standby at all. I then learned that locking the phone from the windows menu and allowing it to go to standby that way somehow averted the touchscreen problem. After 2 days, the problem seemed to resolve itself, almost completely. If I try and wake it using the end key, the touchscreen still wont work, but every other button on wake works. Also, putting it in standby with the end key seemed to not cause the problem any longer.

I dont know if the issue varies per person, but what worked for me was going to stock windows for a couple of days, then starting over with android. I guess it depends on how far along the problem has progressed.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyengineer51:
If anyone can help with this, I’d really appreciate it. I have been a little disappointed since plunging into Android that for whatever reason, the email app (not Gmail) doesn’t have a “move to folder” option. I’ve had this option on WinMo and Symbian phones so I found it hard to believe that functionality wasn’t in Android. FYI, I am currently running CM 6.1.1.

Well I bought my wife a Samsung Epic 4G for Christmas and lo and behold, the email app on her device has that option! Her phone is rooted and running the Epic Experience ROM. I have tried, to no avail, to put the email app from her phone onto my N1. I have the apk file, have tried to just install as is, have tried pushing via adb, even tried inserting it into the CM ROM zip file in place of the one that was in there. So far I’m not even close. So here are my questions:

Are there any ROMs for the N1 that have this function included?

If not, is it possible to install this in place of the email app in CM?

I’m rather fond of CM and would rather do the latter if it’s possible. I was able to get as far as getting the file signed, and the closest I got after that, I received the error:

INSTALL FAILED MISSING SHARED LIBRARY

With over 200 lib files in the Epic ROM, I have no idea which one(s) would be necessary to make this work. Both phones have Android 2.2.1.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Galaxy Tab General] cynamun:
I'm looking at getting a tablet for someone who is not allowed to have unsupervised access to telephones or the internet.

Obviously, she will need to get new apps (that's the point) but she can do that with supervision. We could take her to a coffee shop once or twice a month and do that.

Here are my questions:

1. To prevent her from contacting people through the tablet, would blocking wifi be enough?

2. Is there an app that can password protect wifi? Maybe Tasker?

3. If we could get it blocked, is there a way to browse a list apps offline?
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
The way u worded this, it sounded like you kidnapped a young girl and your trying to keep her locked up and prevent her from contacting the outside world for help....just sayin

[Galaxy Tab General] kmao2004:
In the event you have not kidnapped a child and instead are an overprotective parent please stop.

I work for T-Mobile and hear this too often. You want to do something nice and give them a tab/phone, but with strings attached. Generally if someone wants to do something like access the Internet they will. If you want to protect this person from the harmful things like Internet, porn, free speech, and abortion you should buy this person a book.

At the end of this you will fail. You will find out how to block the Internet or prevent some access, but they will find out how to get what they want out of the tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] cynamun:
I was trying to be vague but I see people are filling in the blanks. I work as a behavior analyst. This particular client has a state-approved rights restriction that has to be evaluated annually and approved by a committee.

She has an intellectual disability and AFAIK never owned a computer. So we're not dealing with a hacker or a clever and determined kid.

I agree that there's no foolproof way to stop someone but I think a reasonable barrier will work for her. It has for telephone use.

Do you know of anything I could try? I'm not going to use anything that the team doesn't approve.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
Can anyone confirm what exactly is involved in the HTC Sense sync option? I don't mean the HTC Sense basic option but the actual HTC Sense option inside that, the one that is set to (Push) for updates by default. The reason I'm asking is that I took my DHD off charge earlier today and at just over 12 hours off charge it was hanging around 40% battery. Some might say that's normal but for me it isn't and I usually get between 1 and 1 1/2 days between charges.

I noticed that the sync icon was on quite a lot any time I picked the phone up to check something and after deciding it was too much I looked and it was the HTC Sense sync item every time. I've disabled it now but since I'm not sure what exactly it contains I don't know what I'm losing by doing this.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchern:
Probably sync HTCsense.com.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
That's what I thought originally but in the same area is an "HTC Hub" sync option and all things related to HTC Sense ....... hang on, brain thinking... HTC Hub is for all downloadable items, HTC Sense might point to contacts, messages etc synchronising between the phone and the website. That would explain why it's trying to sync so often as they site is still very unreliable despite what they said about trying to fix it.

I'd still like to know if anyone has a definitive answer but for now this seems about as reasonable as any other idea.
