[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
I was having issues with ADB and Android Commander running under Win 7 Professional. After searching around I found an answer. Go to Start--Control Panel--Troubleshooting---Programs (run programs made for previous versions of Windows). I set Android Commander to run under Win XP mode and now my ADB server runs great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ald3n3:
I charge my phone overnight everynight. There are times when i wake up in the morning my phone is just stuck on the splash screen. What could be the problem?

-I'm Running on CM6.1.1

-I have a customize splash screen and boot animation

-I used unrevoked root and unrevoked s-off

-I noticed that the random reboot happened when wifi is on (noticed this twice, not sure about the other times)

-And this started to happen (from what i remember) when i tried to flash something over my recovery (toast or something like that, i can't remember i was just following a tutorial for me to able to put a new splash screen. It was for fast reboot to work) then i got stuck on a loop in bootloader. Then i flashed CM6.1.1 to get an image.

Help please?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastmods:
A clean flash of cm 6.1.2 should not give you any issues. Are you using a custom kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envynet:
Random reboots are usually always caused by a custom kernel that your phone does not like.. I could be wrong but that is my experience anyway...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcheljd:
i had the same exact thing except i actually had 6.1.2 clean with no custom stuff. the only thing custom would be the galaxy s theme i put on it.

i would be trying to go to sleep and i would feel my phone vibrate and then i noticed its rebooting, the rebooting is pretty frequent.

i wiped and restored my original backup and installed all the new stuff (radio/wimax/etc.., except hboot)

right now im gonna install a clean 6.1.2 and see how it goes:cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ald3n3:
No custom kernel. Maybe i just need to manually flash cm6 so i can wipe data 3 or 4 times. I kinda don't trust the rom manager and clockwork work recovery method i feel like it doesnt really wipe everything clean before installing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perlowin:
How do you un-install a custom ROM

I installed a custom ROM and now (a month or two later) I'm getting reboot after reboot. How do I get rid of the custom ROM?

Also, what does it mean when the phone reboots, then vibrates 5 times and locks up?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ald3n3:
To get rid of the custom rom just do wipe through recovery...

And the the locking up? I have no clue why that is... sorry
[HD7 General] slysy:
I've noticed whilst gaming on the train using my HD7, I sometimes get interference in my headphones. It sounds like mobile static (dit dit-dit-dit etc).

Does this happen on all HD7's (maybe when reception is fluctuating)? I would be very interested to hear whether this happens (or not) from other HD7 owners. Thanks!
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Any long conductor is susceptible to radio-frequency interference. In fact, headphone cables are so susceptible to it that your phone uses the cable as an aerial for FM radio reception!

Personally I use bluetooth headphones so don't get the problem. It does mean I can't use the FM Radio function but to be honest I can't say I miss it. On the plus side, I get hands-free calling all the time.
[HD7 General] fazkaz:
I have that same problem with my speakers whenever im getting a call or text on any phone that is on my table my speakers start to make noise 2-3 seconds before the phone starts ringing.

but ive never had that problem with headphones.

Whenever im using my Bluetooth headphones and pass through a scanner like the ones at libraries or airports my headphones start to make a high frequency noise.
[HD7 General] rsacipher:
I just got my HD7 as a replacement for my Venue Pro and am hearing the interference in my headphones that I've never had on any other phone.

It sounds like what my computer speakers would sound like when I had Nextel and a call would be coming in. I only notice this between songs.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mestizo19:
Hi guys..i want a new lock screen for my wildfire..like iphone..or froyo style..i use Pro Launcher..give me some advice...thanks!!!!!!!!!:D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
Widget locker, you can also mod it yourself with custom images like me ;)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mestizo19:
Can i download it from market???
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
Yeaaaaaa. 10char
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mestizo19:
I search in Market but nothing!!!! :confused:

I type Widget Locker..but nothing..:(:(
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mestizo19:
Ok..i download it..do you know how to turn off the updating??it not stop searching and use gps...battery problem..:-P
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] maaz_obaid:
Widget locker is also good. another one is "lock bot"(or something like that), in which u have iphone style, eclair stlye, froyo style, hero style, xperia x10 style and galaxy s style lockscreens. although not much customizable as widget locker but still not bad. u can download full version from applanet.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] straszak:
lock screen

in my opinion lockbot pro is better than widgetlocker, but if you want to put widgets on lockscreen you have to use widgetlocker.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] lesa0208:
you can also try GOTO lockscreen
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mestizo19:
I try botlocker pro but i am not impresed...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] maaz_obaid:
well then, i guess you should try every lock screen alternative available in the market. and stick to the one you like the most. ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] poltn6:
Hi all,

Thought i'd post my findings here rather than muddled in to the other i5500 thread (will this phone get it's own device area?).

This is what worked for me and may hopefully help others to do the same. Please post here if this works for you also.

I bought an unlocked, unbranded Samsung Galaxy Europa for my girlfriend for christmas.

It is being used on a Tesco mobile prepay sim (uses O2 network).

It immediately had this duplicate text issue from some contacts, where duplicates of the same text would come in at random times, and some messages did not come through at all. A few googles later shows it is quite a common problem for O2 / Tesco users.

The phone also had a faulty sync / charging port so it was returned.

The next phone seemed fine until I made the mistake of updating to the latest firmware through Kies (the previous handset was already up to date). The duplicate text issue returned to the new handset which pretty much made it un-usable.

I dug around on the interwebs and the only fix I could find seemed to be a factory reset, but this didn't solve the problem for me.

I wanted to roll back the firmware via Kies but couldn't get this to work after trying to modify the registry. Hopefully someone can update here if they work out how to roll back to previous official updates via Kies. To be honest, I don't think Kies is any safer than flashing firmware via Odin.

I have tried out a number of firmwares from samfirmware.com and have found a couple that don't seem to have the duplicate text issue and others that do. The froyo update is just ugly and also seemed to have the duplicate text issue. Hopefully someone will release a custom froyo rom as Samsung seem to have made a mess of it!

*********

What worked for me:

I used 'Odin' to flash the firmware 'I5500XWJG9' and followed the instructions on page 1 of this thread to do so: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781149#

The firmware I settled on is 'I5500XWJG9'. It's a European firmware but not a UK one so you need to change the default language and set up your APN in order to get your internet and MMS working. This is acceptable if it resolves the text issue I think.

After updating you may recieve the last few of your duplicate texts or some that you never received previously.

Something strange I noticed was that the message centre number seems to be incorrect (for tesco mobile anyway) or the menu to display or change it does not work correctly.

If you enter *#*#4636#*#* on the dialler and go to phone information and scroll down, you will see 'SMSC'. Click 'Refresh' and it should display your service centre number. You should also be able to update it but it doesn't work on this phone. I suspect this may be something to do with the problem but texts seem to work on this firmware anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] poltn6:
Bah, we had a few duplicate texts after a week. Not as bad as before it would seem but still there. How annoying!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ErgonomicSandwich:
Hi using a Samsung Europa on Giffgaff (o2 derivative) and using the originally provided usb link cable. It used to work, but the first time I plugged it in, the language was set in german for a joke, and I got very confused about Kies and said 'No don't do that' - now my PC doesn't seem to want to know about my phone no matter which usb socket I plug it in. I have it in download mode right now and Odin can't find it at all.

Any thoughts - this repetitive text issue is driving me up the wall (x100 copies of the same text over a week and all my other non-O2 messages getting stuck!) ?

[HTC Aria Android Development] mr72:
Hey guys-

I recently went from Liberated b005 to the FR008 and everything is working great except one thing: Exchange ActiveSync.

I have my normal email with gmail, and my business email & calendar is on Exchange. I am using the HTC "Mail" app on the phone. The problem is that it does not get the mail in a timely fashion. With the previous Liberated b005 Eclair it worked perfectly, just as expected, with no tweaking required. I'd get mail on my phone within a few minutes of when I got it on my PC. But now I generally have to open the Mail app and manually refresh it to get any Exchange mail.

Under "Accounts & sync" settings, I have "Background data" checked and "Auto-sync" (which I understand is aka "push email") is unchecked. Maybe it works right with Auto-sync checked but my battery life is horrible with it set that way.

I have "Exchange ActiveSync" account

Under "Data and synchronization" for that account, it has:

Schedule: Manual

Sync mail: checked

Sync contacts: not checked

Sync calendar: checked

If I click "Schedule", it has "Peak time" which is Mon-Fri 7:30am-7:00pm, and then "Frequency" Peak times: Every 15 minutes and Off-peak times: Every hour

I don't recall these "peak time" and etc. from the b005 settings. It just seemed to work as expected without me having to fool with it.

Any ideas why this isn't syncing my mail ever 15 minutes as I would expect during "peak time"?

Oh and by the way, thanks attn1 for the ROMs. This stuff is brilliant.
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
i don't think theres anything particularly wrong with what the app is doing.

you put that the schedule is manual...rather than you manually setting it, perhaps it means it only refreshes when you refresh it manually?

i would set it to auto sync and perhaps change a few other things to manage battery life better? disable gps/wifi when not needed, lower screen brightness all that stuff.

i know i'm not extraordinarily helpful, but thats all i've got.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mr72:
Well, clearly under the "manual" settings, it appears that it's supposed to be doing something automatically.

I already manage gps & wifi and all that other stuff to improve battery life. I still have to charge the phone mid-day. Turning on Auto-sync may "fix" my mail issue (work around it, really), but the cost is way too high in terms of battery life.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
I have my exchange account set as follows:

Days: Every day

Peak time start: 05:00

Peak time end: 22:00

Peak times: As items arrive

Off-peak times: Every 4 hours

Works brilliantly.

First off I think "Auto-sync" being off is your issue. I do not believe that the "Auto-sync" setting refers to "push mail". I believe the auto-sync setting is general for all apps and how they are allowed to sync data either manual or automagically, where as push mail has to do with your mail client only. I believe setting your exchange account to receive items as they arrive is "push mail". I have Auto-sync enabled.

Think of it this way, your schedule settings are for the exchange app in particular where as the "auto-sync" setting is for all apps that use a data connection so no matter what you specify in the app settings, the general data sync settings will over ride them. By turning off auto-sync you are telling your phone to not allow any app to sync on it's own but to allow the app to sync when it is launched manually.

The only other thought that comes to mind is that if you are using wifi and connected to the same network that your exchange server is on, your phone will not be able to sync your mail unless you turn off your wifi or you have your wifi set to sleep after 15 minutes of phone sleep. Once your wifi sleeps your exchange mail will use the carrier network and be able to sync.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mr72:
OK, I get it.

"Background Data" is aka "push"? Or, in other words, there is no way to allow a timed sync like a normal old fashioned email app, while also disabling push email, correct?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Push refers to how an exchange server sends email to your mobile client, it has nothing to do with the "background data" or "auto-sync" settings. No matter how you want your exchange client to sync, either timed like every 5 minutes or immediately when items are received, you have to have "auto-sync" enabled for it to work.

Let's break it down like this:

With "auto-sync" enabled your mail should update per the schedule you set automatically without launching the app.

With "auto-sync" disabled your mail will only update when you launch it from the application shortcut.

Does that make sense?

NOTE: Background data must be enabled as well.
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
turning on auto sync isn't a work-around; as a$$h4t pointed out, it is a solution. for your phone to grab mail as per your schedule, auto sync must be enabled.

as far as your battery woes go, i'm at a loss as to how it could be draining so much if you already manage your battery life pretty well. i would install the app watchdog task manager to keep an eye on any processes trying to eat more battery than they need to.

also, a readthrough of this tutorial never hurts.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 22-40:
The Background/Auto-sync settings are purely advisory, and many apps ignore them completely. To change the HTC mail sync behavior you need to change the settings in the HTC mail prefs.

When you do set Background and/or Auto-sync, most of the Google apps (and some of the HTC ones) start polling the network regularly, which is what kills your battery. Weather, stocks, gmail, etc etc. In my experience it takes quite a lot of tweaking to run them all down. Once done though, I've been able to re-enable those global settings without killing the battery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mr72:
thanks for the tips. Auto-sync is working fine now with Exchange and it's not draining the battery unduly, well not any more than it drains it with auto-sync turned off.

I can't seem to remove apps like News & Weather, GMail, Stocks, etc. that would use background data services and which I do not ever use. Guess I can just delete the apk files.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
You can go into settings under "Accounts & sync" and go into each account that you don't want to sync and uncheck sync. I usually do that with news, stocks and weather right off the bat when I set up a phone. That will cut down on the background data and help with your battery life.
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
you can remove certain system apps via this method. i always do this for facebook, news/weather, stocks and things like that.

and for more battery help, check this out.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mr72:
thanks. i'll check it out. location-based wifi would be the bomb for battery saving, but Y5 does not work on Froyo/Aria and everything else that has this feature is a paid app... guess I just am not yet willing to spring for it. Cheap == me.

When I want to select a picture I got from my PC to my X8 in the correct resolution I still have to crop the picture to make it look pixelated and crap. Why does the X8 force me to do this?
[XPERIA X8 General] badboybiky:
hey its easy..the thing with picture is that the over all resolution of the wallpaper for x8 is greater than the resolution of the screen. like you may have more then one window like in case of three. the resolution would be like 320*3=940 into 480 res picture. if you want single slide then i think there is other wallpaper application which doesnot use the default wallpaper chooser program and got it own. right now i forget the name. but there is app for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Hi Peeps

Whilst browsing the Android market recently, I came across various apps that can free up some memory by compressing lost wasted space left after uninstalling apps etc.... disk fragmentation etc...

I have an unrooted HTC Desire.

Are any of these type of apps any good? Do they work? Or is it just a load of hot air?

If they are of some benefit, can anyone recommend a solid one?

Thanks for reading, and for your help as always.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Anyone got any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] EleCtrOx666:
Can you share a link or a name or something like that? Never saw something like "defragmenting" on Android.

HTC desire by default has an ext3 partition I thought(I might be wrong, it's maybe YAFFS and I don't know anything about its fragmentation!), and ext3 don't really defragment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#Defragmentation

BTW, if it's an unrooted device, I don't think there's any chance something like that would work.
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Will see if I can find one, i knew I should've written it down!

I did think being unrooted would rule it out though, so thanks for getting back to me
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
Maybe not all features.

My internal sdcard came formatted as vfat, which does require defragmentation after too much use. And messing with sdcard contents doesn't require root. I'm not sure I would trust such an app, though - at least, not without a full backup and checking that it can't send data out to its servers.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Sounds like nonsense to me, apps by definition clean up after themselves, at least internally.. Some of them do leave data on the SD card either by design or by accident.
[Android Apps and Games] xdunlapx:
I agree with you. I think those people selling 'defragging' apps are just in it for the money, assuming they are paid apps.
