problems

hi guys I installed wp7 on my phone using a 16gb card but when I plugged in my phone and synced with zune it said I only had 10mb space left. I uninstalled everything and did it again and again with the same results, so I went back to winmo6.5. I still really want wp7 on my phone and I was wondering if there was something I can do to get wp7 to recognize all the space so I can download apps and music when I move to wp7. And btw I changed reserved space to 0 and it still didnt help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
Did you have the memory card in the phone was it first started up WP7? Because if when you returned to Wm6.5 and the memory card was readable with the entire 16G at your disposal that means it didn't get formatted by Wp7.

At the very first intial startup WP7 formats the SDcard if its detected.. If not a factory reset from the WP7 About Menu will cause a format at restart and should make the SDCard available to it

If you want give it another go and flash WP7 while the SdCard is inside the HD2 then after its finished loadup WP7 and skip threw the intial setup and go to Settings>About>Reset.. and after it restarts and go threw the intial setup again check in "About" to see if it says 14~16G free.. If not then that SDCard is supported which if should if its SanDisk

I had the memory card in the phone when wp7 started and when i went back to wm6.5 only 200mb of space was available, I had to format the memory card again to get 16gb. When I installed wp7 and reset and went to about it said 10mb space was available and when I tried to sync with zune I could only fit 1 sing be4 the meory card was dried up. I am using a kingstin class 4 sd card, same as the original that came with my first hd2. I had done this be4 on my first phone and it worked with the same kind of memory card but I lost that phone so i got a new one with the same kind of memory card but it wouldnt work. I don't know what I possibly did wrong.

I was having the same problem with Android. All I did was select "Unmount SD Card" I then just did a System restore (Or however they call it on Android) and when it booted back I had my 8gb :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rodriguekelly:

Do I reinstall wp7 first? If yes how do I access "unmount sd card" and after I do the system restore will I still be running wp7 with all the space available???

Hey....

I had the same problem.....

What i did is:

I removed the cable

Booted into bootloader

went to fastboot

and connected the usb

After that, my pc detected some device...not the the mom card or phone...

Again after that, i booted into bootloader, connected the usb, and went to recovery...it went to the screen with the phone and the exclamation, and the pc made 4 or 5 connected and disconnected sounds...

I then powered the device on, and lo and behold! It recognized my phone and everything was back to normal...

This is just something that worked for me, as i was in a USB brick...prior to this, i was not able to connect to the pc, and the charger was not fluently or continuously charging the phone.

Hope this helps someone....

Cheers :)

Is it possible to physically reject specific SMS sender? I mean make so that sender and network think that message is unable to be delivered?

I do not have SMS plan and hate to pay for spam, but need to send and receive occasionally.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
I know through Verizon's website you can block all texts and/or premium texts. Premium being the ones you can request via 5 digit numbers, i.e. ones that generally cost you money.

Beyond that I don't know if there is a way to block a specific sender. I thought I read something about an app that helps you block calls/texts from users, but I don't remember where or what app.

I'm betting my far wiser friend Google may remember.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Dunno about you, but I have never once in my life gotten an SMS spam message on my personal cell phones. The only "spam" I get is the free messages from Verizon, which doesn't count. If you're getting SMS messages from other sources, you must have signed up for something at some point that got your cell number on a list. I don't trust any type of text messaging service, and never enter my number on any site that asks me to enter my number and carrier (including those stupid fake IQ tests that require a cell number to text you your score).

If the messages are from a legitimate source, they should have an unsubscribe method listed that you can use. Beyond that, I know Verizon can cut off all text messaging, but I'm not sure if they have the ability to block certain senders or not. That would be a question to ask a customer service rep, I guess.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
You can set the option to reject messages from a specific sender via My Verizon online. I think you can set something like 5-10 numbers to reject messages from. It will do what you're asking and prevent them from getting through.
[Fascinate General] Joshuaboyzn:
Chomp SMS lets you blacklist certain contacts. I haven't tried it out myself, but I have seen the option.
[Fascinate General] BlackHoleSlam:
if it is like a fake IQ site just text the word stop to whatever the number is and if its a friend get handcent to block them
[Fascinate General] CNemo7539:
VZ service is ridiculous in this department! 5 numbers up to 90 days? You gotta be kidding me.

Sometimes I feel it like some sort of conspiracy here.

SF is my first smartphone and I never had message spam on the old one. Just a few days after getting new phone I started to get messages from who knows what numbers. And these numbers are not regular customer numbers.

What a beautiful business model - first sell my number and then ask me pay to stop spam to my number! Cool!

I guess my question is if I have some sort of software spam filter am i still getting messages physically or soft simply may reject them at very low level at handshake moment or something like this. Pretty much pretend to have constant reception error or something like this.

[Nook Color General] edjwhite:
Hello...

Started lurking here a couple days ago. Fascinating stuff.

Please note: I have NOT rooted.

I have done some reading on the process for the original Nook in regards to getting epubs to work with Chinese fonts and have attempted some of those work arounds on the NookColor to no avail. I know that I need to wrestle with it some more. However, I'm curious if the NC requires a couple different steps from what is on the nookdevs site. Perhaps I'm missing some pretty simple steps. Any info on this would be appreciated.

And if I just need to Google more and try things out more I can appreciate that.
[Nexus One Accessories] doalittledanse:
I have the official Nexus One dock and it randomly disconnects from the phone while it's still docked. BT disconnects and it stops charging. It seems to happen more often when the phone gets hotter.

I have a feeling it's software related because it usually re-connects as soon as I change the orientation or un-dock re-dock really quick.

The only other thing that I can think of is that maybe it needs a better ground since I hardwired it into my car's power wiring.

Anyone else experience this?
[Nexus One Accessories] Rafoolik:
Ive been meaning to make a thread similar to this but i guess its more appropriate not to waist threads...

The touch sensitivity dies when the screen is on for prolonged periods of time. for example when its in the gps dock, i will sometimes try to interact with the app and it wont register any touches at all or will get them completely off. but right when i turn off the screen then turn it back on again (even if its quickly) it'll go back to normal. Why? is it because of the heat being created? the phone does get hot when i use the gps for a long time.
[Nexus One Accessories] jamezracer:
I blame poor connections. Every now and again i have to wiggle the base of the dock where the contact pins are to seat the contacts
[Nexus One Accessories] knightnz:
The screen is supposed to auto recalibrate, it doesn't seem to do a very good job of it. My phone is hopeless on winter mornings, about 30 seconds after turning it on in the morning I have to turn the display off and on again to force it to recalibrate or the bottom 1/3 of the screen stops working.

The issue is much less pronounced with the CM firmware than it is with the stock firmware though.
[Nexus One Accessories] lukeborn:
My fix for the Nexus dock

I also had this problem when I was using the phone in the horizontal position but when I turned it to vertical it started working again... not an ideal fix but it worked for me... also I found a small crack in the dock that makes the tab at the top stiff, it eventually broke through and I used a piece of shrink tubing to repair it back to help it push down on the prongs at the bottom.

On the other topic this screen sensitivity problem should be marked critical since I can't answer my phone without turning the screen off and back on again, I can't even count the amount of times I hung up on someone while fumbling to answer the phone.

The CurveFish OnOff widgets were the first widgets I downloaded when I got my new Motorola DROID. I needed to have complete control over my connections to save on battery life, and found a few little fun widgets along the way. And to have found a publisher that has released multiple widgets of the same theme excites the OCD inside me.

Hi,

I've searched for many hours to find the solution. But I couldn't found it.

I want to change my lock button from End key to power Button. Ik know I could use Slide To Unlock, but I prefer the HTC lock more.

Can someone tell me how to change this? So from End key to Power button just like S2U2?

thank you!

i allready read the tread before creating this. But what i'm asking for is, is there a way to 'replace' the end key for the power button (eg egistry edit or something).
[EVO Shift 4G General] emkorial:
Cause I'm about to return this thing.

Software/OS wise:

- I guess this is an Android "thing", but the phone is constanly launching random programs in the background that I had nothing to do with, and it noticeably slows the phone down. If I see Sense stuttering, I'll run ATK, kill the dozen or so random things thta somehow launched all by themselves, and the phone is snappy again. Today I was typing a text message, and the phone was so slow, it was only registering one character every 5 seconds or so in the message. I went tho ATK, a whole ****load of random stuff was running, I killed it all, text messaging goes back to normal. How can you use an OS that randomly launches apps that degrade system performance? And as far as I can tell there's no way to remove the apps, or keep them from randomly launching on thier own in the background. I thought Android apps running in the background were supposed to not use any resources? But these a re having a noticible impact, clear as day. Sluggish UI, run ATK, kill the apps, silky smooth UI.

- I despise threaded SMS and you can't turn it off.

- I hate the little gray faces in the people list, and you can't turn them off

- Don't like the transparent folder backgrounds, and you can't do anything about it.

Hardware wise:

- The volume rocker is in a terrible positoin and is way to easy to accidentally hit. And apparently you need root to do anything about by remapping the keys

- If the phone is locked, sliding out the keyboard just a little bit wakes up the phone unlocked. andthen when trying to slide the KB back in you end up hitting buttons and hittingthe volume rocker, it's just annoying

- Suffers from the iPhone 4 "holding the phone in your righthand cuts your signal strength by 3 bars" problem

I mean, by themselves, none of these is a huge deal (except the OS slowing itself to a crawl, WTF is up with that?), but add them all up, on tp of the fact I'm paying $30 more a month over my Mogul, and I think this thing is going back to the Sprint store this weekend.

Kinda shocking that 5 years later the latest Androis phone still can;t match my Mogul in terms of useability.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
Ok - a long list of complaints. I'll try to address a few, but I don't think there are any "fixes" for any of these problems.

1. Have not had this happen on this phone. Not sure what is running....what were you doing at the time? What apps do you have installed?

2. You'd prefer a single message? Not really sure I understand the issue with threaded SMS...

3. If you hate the gray faces, you can customize the picture for each person - if you don't feel like doing that, then stop complaining. To assign a picture for your contacts - Contacts - "Joe Smith" - Edit - then click the Camera to the left of the contacts name. You can assign any picture you want.

4. This is something that can be modified once we have perm. root, I believe. Is customizable if you modify LPP or ADW.

5. I see a lot of people complaining about the terrible placement. I've only hit them once when closing the phone, but they are almost in the same position as my Heroc, so it must be a habit from avoiding that rocker.

6. My slider needs to slide until I see the 2nd row of keys before the screen turns on. Not sure if yours is diff. or not, but that seems acceptable to me. Perhaps you want to put a lock code or pin on, and then it won't open to the homescreen, etc.

7. I have noticed that too, but really almost every phone has this to some effect. And I've only watched the signal strength bars in the notifications bar. We should watch the signal strength (dB) to see if there really is a drastic difference. It hasn't negatively impacted my use of the phone (on a call, or surfing the web) so I don't really see it as an issue, but more of a pet peeve.

Sorry to hear you are so turned off by your experience so far. hope some of what I've written is useful.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fifedogg:
There is no need for a task killer. Just because you see those apps in the backround doesnt actually mean they are running. Android works different in the fact that those are stored in ram to actually save battery if you were to open those apps. It doesnt use more battery to have those apps stored in your ram. Since froyo was introduced there is no reason to use ATK unless there is an aftermarket app that you know will cause power drain.

There is an app called Volume Locker. It will keep you from being able to change the volume level.

Also, there are different dialers out there that offer different looks if you dont like the sense dialer.

I dont have any issue with my bars going down when holding my phone. The reason that happens to an Iphone is because they built the antenna around the case of the phone. It's not built like that with the shift.

Is this your 1st android phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] XmentalX:
1) if your talking about things like FM radio, Sprint navigation, NFL, Sprint TV, etc running in the background. they arent using processor time just small bits of memory they launch in the background after certain triggers like "SMS Recieved" occur and you cant change that without full root, or you can use the temporary root and set it after every boot

2 and 3) i believe you can with handsent or chomp

3) not without full root and nand unlock

as for the rest, havent had any issues with signal either on or off my airave so i cant really replicate your issue, havent had any slowness or slowdowns compared to the painfully buggy and slow mogul for sure.
[EVO Shift 4G General] emkorial:
but there is. Performance on the phone is noticably slower, sliuggish screen transitions, today my text messaging was barely working at all the phone was so bogged down. Killing tasks fixes the problem, so obviously those tasks are using some system resources. If they weren't I wouldn't care that they are there, but they are having a absolute impact of the phones performance and responsiveness.

none of the apps running were crazy stuff, there's maybe 2-3 things I installed from the market (Astra and Google Maps being the most frequnt) and the rest is preinstalled stuff, Teleus GPS, Voicemail, Gmail, Amazon MP3, etc. At the low point ATK says I have aorund 30M memory free, clearing the apps out brings it up to 160.

This isn't a "things running in the background bugs me", it's "these things are slowing the phone down.

Yeah, each messgae should be a message. Unto itself. I know some people like threaded, and that's fine, but why is there no option to turn threaded SMS off? I can specify seperate auto completoin settings for the soft keyboard and hardkeyboard for crying out loud, but I can't choose how I want text messages displayed?

Yeah, pardon me while I run off to snap 150 pictures and assign them all. I should be able to customize the view to no show pictures with the contacts, not be forec to have 1 chunk of screen real estate takend up "mystery gray head man"

Thats good to know, thanks

The dialers fine, it's the contact list.

Yeah, an I knew there' be some getting used to things, but honestly, why am I paying more for a phone I have to get used to (and launches apps to slows down it's performance by itself)? I'l just go back to my Mogul, it works how I want, and is cheaper.

SOMETHING getting auto launched is using processor time, absolutely. When the phone is runing so slow I can;t even type a text message, and killing the running apps fixes the problem, then there's something running in the background slowing the phone down massively.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
Might want to try killing apps 1 at a time to find out what the rogue process is... generally task managers do more harm than good.

You can also sync facebook photo's with contacts if any of your contacts are on your fb account... if you use facebook that is :) You can also assign photo's thru your gmail account on the web, that is an easier interface than on the phone.

There is really no getting around getting used to a new phone.. just takes some time to get comfortable with it. Usually a week or 2.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fifedogg:
You need to read up on this article. like I said before you only need to use it when you have a bad app. Close 1 at a time until you figure out the lag issue as I havnt had a single issue at all with lag. Why you shouldn't use task killers

When you close apps that always run they have to re-open and that uses CPU. All those apps running (except the one giving you issues) arent using any cpu just stored in your memory and if they need to be ran it actually saves CPU. You obvliously have more apps running than you think because I always have at the very least 80mb free. If you decide to root your phone you can always use auto killer memory optimizer and make it so if you hit a certain point it will close the empty apps etc.

Give it some time. Your obviously and amateur Android user (Please dont take offense) and will learn how they work and love it I promise.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bcellis:
I think you're the first person I've heard about who prefers Windows Mobile 6.X to Android. If that's the case, more power to you. Rock that Mogul and cut your monthly bill down and save some bucks. In this economy, nobody's going to argue with you over that.

Sounds like a lot of your gripes are just getting used to the phone. I've never once accidentally hit the volume rocker but I'm coming from a Sprint Hero too, so maybe that's why. If I cup my hand around the bottom of the phone I can get it to drop a bar or two, but I never hold my phone like that under normal use so it doesn't bother me. And my phone doesn't wake up until the keyboard is halfway out (2nd row of keys). If yours wakes from barely moving, maybe something is wrong with it? Take it back for a new one and see if that fixes the problem.

I haven't noticed any slowdown but again, I'm coming from the Hero and that was just a dog trying to run factory Sense. Some people have reported improved performance after performing a factory reset (though that's typically related to data speeds). Might be worth looking into if you're still having problems.
[EVO Shift 4G General] emkorial:
I understand the who idea of android running crap in the background, and if it really worked as advertised and was using no CPU power, I wouldn;t care if there were 100 apps in the background. Whatever is running my my background is causing moderate performance issues most of the time, and occasionally severe performance issues.

Next time it happens I'll try the "kill them 1 at a time" thing and see if I can identify the culprit.

I recognize that most of this is just preference and getting used to the phone, but the performance degradation, the volume rocker, and the signal loss are, to me, enough added up to make the phone just not worth dealing with.
