[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geegolly:
I am attempting to accomplish a theme much like what the Dell Streak guys are doing here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=899879).

While our screens are not 5", like the Streaks, we can get roughly the same viewing size with the "LCD Density Changer" app. The app just shrinks everything, so it isn't to bad with a younger set of eyes.

If this theme was set up on our phones, then the wallpaper and Icon placement would be distorted as it were cycled through orientations.

So my question/request for an app is something to lock your home screen orientation into landscape. ADW launcher is capable of this!! However, I purchased Launcher Pro Plus, and I prefer this launcher.

All the apps out currently only lock portrait (by turning off auto-rotation). And the only Google searches I can find are a few pointing to an app that fools the phone into thinking the slide out keyboard is open. That app only works on a device that has a physical pull out keyboard.

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] shuntje:
I have been playing around with my HD2 on Phone 7 for the last few days and i am super pleased with the overall performance stability and user comfort it brings. Only drawback i have currently is that the market is not working but i think i farked up somewhere along the line there with the activation and registration.

Only one issue remains and that is the recording of video in 720P. The sound is to loud it seems and there is a big HISS covering all other sound. Now i was wondering what this sound could be seeing i recorded in a silent room (true silent room for hearing testing) and still the hissing was in the background. So while recording i put my HD2 to my ears and behold the hissing sound is the back speaker emitting static. I have no idea how to fix this seeing i am not an DEV.

But seeing the clutter of posts in the general tread i started this one. Can anyone confirm this behavior on their HD2 running Phone 7 ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yksudha:
Hi Guys,

please note that though the option says 720P the quality that is captured isnt' 720P.

!!!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mmendez92:
um buddy....yea it is. check your file props
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jonny4911:
is there hissing on the computer when you play it as well?

or isit just windwos phone being too loud?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] shuntje:
The phone itself is emitting the sound while recording. The second you start the recorder it starts to hiss. And yes the hissing is there when you play back the video. And YES it is 720P i recorded video and checked its auto focus is a tad laggy but it works.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
I can confirm both, that it's 720p and the noise in the background.

I have a few solutions in mind, I will try them and post back here so soon. As this noise is so frustrating !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] akbisw:
I didnt find any unusual hiss noise. Only thing I found was wind noise, and Im cool with that. THe audio is very very clear in my honest opinion.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Jonny4911:
i didn't find any hiss either

in fact my phone was rather silent when recording!

although i have changed the maxdbatten to 60 and ui vol to 50

my volume setting was at five

and i listened to it back, and the music i "recorded" was very clear :)

infact you could hear my computer fans!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Daum Ex:
...

When i playback the video on my computer, there's no hissing sound. On the phone i hear hissing sound when playing any 720p video, so it has to be something with the format itself.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] shuntje:
For the ppl who reply there is no hiss or static sound in the background or at all can you try and confirm the back speaker of the HD2 makes no sound either in video recording modus ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] iamrv:
I found video recorded are a bit yellow. look my own video test at http://youtu.be/rDGcYVOOkbY. Weather was foggy not so clear.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] NeoGreendawg:
I've just given it a try and I certainly don't have any hissing noises during recording or playback.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ivan122:
noise

I am suffering from this static noise too. And yes, it is definitely eminating from the back of the phone. Tried different rom versions, the noise stays the same. I would appreciate if someone would share the solution with me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Azitrox:
Hiss

Here too !!!
[Captivate General] ronjeremey:
My captivate is upsetting me greatly. I flashed the new version of Cognition (3.02) and the phone works perfectly with the charger or USB cable plugged in. As soon as I unplug it, It starts flipping back and forth between thinking the USB is connect and it isn't, 4-5 times a second, so much so that the phone is unuseable due to the noise it makes as well as the pauses between each switch...

anyone else seen this? I tried a factory reset, tried loading my previous nandroid backup, neither corrected it...
[Captivate General] Dungeon47:
You said factory reset. Do you mean ti does this even if you use ODIN and flash back to stock JF6 and Master Clear? If so, sounds like you should get it exchanged due to hardware failure.
[Captivate General] ronjeremey:
Hadn't used the ODIN reset, but the code you type on the dial pad, with the stock rom applied. Will try ODIN tonight...

This was posted in Motorola support forums:

''There will not be an upgrade to FroYo 2.2 for the XT720/XT701. We are evaluating having a software update to fix some of the bugs some users have reported.

Mark

Motorola Mobility US Facebook Support''

So maybe we will get an update :)

What bugs need to be fixed?
[Milestone XT720 General] Gureiryu:
There is a thread around with a list of bugs, I couldn't tell you from off the top of my head, but that confirms we aren't getting froyo EVER? I hope that applies only to the upgrade log of Q4 2010 and Q1 2011.. Dex is cooking something up for us Froyo wise so we shouldn't worry to much, but if he finishes his project before this "update" hopefully he'll optimize his build to support it.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
that just means they will only release a FIX for 2.1 to 2.1 fixed

that is by no means a release for 2.2
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think you added the word "soon" there. All they've really said is that they're thinking about maybe deciding to do something sometime in the future.

Edit: Also be aware that Motorola distinguishes between "updates" and "upgrades". 2.1-update1 to 2.1-update2 is an "update". 2.1-update1 to 2.2 is an "upgrade". Mark's been pretty clear that the Motorola software group has decided there will never be any "upgrade" whatsoever for the XT720 (except the Motoroi).
[Milestone XT720 General] d23wilson:
Also...thnigs to think about...Motorola released the xt720 onto the market with flaws and have not done anything to correct them. And are only at the moment collating the bugs from the owners of the handsets...then will present that to whomever in Motorola to see if and what they MAY address..forget about it.

Then get their new graduate programmers to work on it.

Motorola do crap software on magnificent hardware...our only hope is thru hired guns.

[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
While there will not be an upgrade for this phone, we are exploring giving it an update to resolve some of the bugs users have reported., It is at the bottom of page 11.
[Milestone XT720 General] mtvdeo:
I see many people correcting me. I said UPDATE, not UPGRADE. I didn't mean froyo. Maybe we are getting update2 or 2.1.5 (like the CLIQ).
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It's one of the canned responses they're using now. It's all over the facebook/getsatisfaction threads. For example:

http://getsatisfaction.com/motorola/topics/to_motos_administrators_and_managers

I read another one there (that I can't find at the moment) where it's clarified that "will remain 2.1" or whatever they put on the software upgrade page is a final decision and that 2.3, 3.0 etc and later are also out of the question, too.

If you want to get your (dis)satisfaction faster, Motorola seems much more responsive there than on their own forums.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
This is a hosts file with a massive list of ad servers included. It should block almost every ad possible.

Just unzip and put the extracted file in /system/etc/ using either root explorer or adb push.

update: Just doubled the size of the list, angry birds ads now blocked as well.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aznpr1de808:
wow this wouldve been nice b4 i paid for the blocking apps lol :D thanks option good work
[myTouch 4G Android Development] daewond3r:
Awesome! Thanks Option!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Unfortunalty, it doesn't seem to work on angry birds. If someone can find out what the ad server is, I can add it to the list.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dodgepot:
This is great! I was just wondering what I could use to block ads.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] clamder:
adfree works the exact same way..?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] neidlinger:
adfree and root tools.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
This is just a much larger list then they use in adfree I think, but yes it works in the same way.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Updated.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] pantlessjim:
Glad the new host file worked! ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Scoop24:
Thanks works great
[myTouch 4G Android Development] f231f:
How is this easier than just running AdFree? :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
LOL - I would have killed for this a few days ago when adfree first went out - took hours hunting down the temp fix in Modaco.

I have adfree installed again - will there be any conflicts with this if I don't uninstall (or freeze) it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
Great work bro, and thanks alot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] drewtang:
Thanks for the work :) I just got an update to my adfree app from the market, and it worked on my cm7 nightly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] STHNS:
Reminds me the good ol days of blocking things via hosts file in the *nix world its located in /etc/hosts/ or /etc/inet/hosts/ while in AOS /system/etc/hosts/. This is another reason I am atm downloading massive 8.1gb apk.lib archive lol can't stand so called "freeware" apps we all know its adware.

BTW where did you get this list? Anyways related to BISS(BT/BLP)? Whats the data format for it? Plain ASCII ([localhost] [ipv4/domain] [#/comment])? Reminds me of the good ol days when I use to compile IPFilter.dat for P2P world lol a simple google search of HyperNode IPFilter yields result as I had the up to date largest filter to date then.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] epsix:
Just want to say thank you again... lol. This is simple and work perfectly without installing any other third party apps like Ad Blocking etc... waisting resources :-)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Yeah. Adfree will replace this file with their own. This is a more complete list then theirs. Thats the only difference.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] STHNS:
Did you compile the list? If so what ranges did you use? Which tracker's verified it? I still have feeling this maybe affiliated with BISS.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
its everything in adfree, and a big list i found online. No idea what BISS is.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morhimi:
Hi,

I'm thinking of buying this phone but I can't find the answer to my question (I did search...)

I need this device unlocked (i.e. simfree).

I've read somewhere that s=off means simfree, is that right?

anyone here got experience with unlocking this device and using it with sim cards other that Tmobile

thanks...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
Here's an answer.

"S=OFF" just makes the boot blocks and kernel partition writeable.

"Radio S=OFF" unlocks the phone. Other terms for this you might find include "SIM Unlock".

"Super CID" allows ROMs from other carriers.

Here's a thread specific to this phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996

(You can also just purchase an unlocked phone. They're available, from T-Mobile and other vendors, here's one example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502068.)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
Those are different things as well. Radio S=OFF changes the radio to pass the security=off flag to the bootloader, as an alternative to flashing a bootloader where s-off is hard coded. It's just one step earlier in the boot process.

SIM Unlock is a different setting, though gfree from the thread jggimi linked can do all of those things.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
Thanks for the clarification!
[Epic 4G General] saintirish:
I love the feature of allowing me to ignore a call with an automatic text message. Is there a way to do this using Google Voice text instead of the Samsung text app?
[Epic 4G General] hoopsbwc34:
I've thought the same, but haven't found a way to do it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
Has anyone noticed the timestamps in texts being incorrect? I've gotten a few lately that were only off by a couple of minutes, but my reply shows the right timestamp. For example, I get a text at 11:03, but it shows it comes in at 11:05, and my reply goes out at 11:04 so it shows it before the message I was replying too.

I'm not roaming, so I don't think that's the cause (it tends to be quite a bit worse when roaming or with very little signal)
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
So far I haven't noticed that. It could be something to do with the other person's clock, if they're on roaming or using a 3rd party app that for whatever reason has the time wrong, or from a different carrier that has the time set differently than Sprint. I believe messages are time stamped as they are sent, just a theory.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
well, considering the only person I've noticed it on (pretty much the only person i text regularly) is on Sprint, and works at the call center so she has very good service, that's probably not the issue. Although, I suppose since she's sending it from a blackberry that could be the issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
It was just a thought. But they probably have a repeater in the building to boost the signal. Could be that, check and see if it happens when she isn't in the building. My sister has a BB with US Cellular and I double checked, I don't get that with hers. Maybe they don't time stamp on send, but when it is received.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tatonka_hero:
didn't even think of the repeater...that could be the problem. I'm like 5 feet from a repeater right now lol. Which was why it was funny when I called tech support trying to get the thing activated and they all asked "do you have good service", so I told them I probably had better signal than they did.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
When I worked for an answering service company a long time ago, my supervisor took me on a tour of the place. In their computer room they had all kinds of stuff in there. This was back in the day when alpha numeric pagers were popular. When we transcribed what the caller said to type out and send it to a pager, one of the computer devices in the computer room held messages until its buffer filled or a certain amount of time elapsed. Then it would send a group of messages all out at the same time. Maybe that's what is happening with sprints hardware. Its holding texts and buffering them then shoots them out all at once in a group instead of one by one. That's my guess.
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
I remember those days, lol. I'm not sure if there is a buffer or not, messages between my family all go straight though from what I can tell. Then again there are tons of messages sent every second, so maybe the buffer is filled quickly. It's a good theory.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Compusmurf:
Do you have the Airrave or Airvana unit? If the Airvana that's probably the issue. Supposedly they (who?, dunno?!) are working on a firmware fix for that. Doesn't happen to everyone with the Airvana unit, but it happens often enough to be troublesome.
[EVO Shift 4G General] EricSS619:
I've had the same problem on my EVO and my shift. It is quite annoying when sending texts back and forth.

Ex. My friends text will say 11:06, but my clock says its only 11:05.
[EVO Shift 4G General] qngds:
timestamps

They are wrong on mine, but so is the clock. I changed it manually. Problem solved, for me at least.
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
i get this where someone sends me a text, i reply, they reply to that afterwards but it gets put ABOVE my initial reply in the thread with them. blows my mind.
[Nook Color General] MissKristine:
Hi guys, I didn't see this asked anywhere else. If I missed it, feel free to lock or delete this post.

Rooted my Nook with AutoNooter, all has been perfect for days. Now, all of a sudden, none of my apps will rotate to landscape: Market, Gmail, built in browser, Opera, nothing. The weird thing is my homescreens will rotate (I'm using Zeam), and things like angry birds that load in landscape are fine. Any suggestions?
[Nook Color General] guchdog:
Have you checked your settings? There is a setting that can be toggled under display to enable auto rotation. I would give you the specifics but my NC is at home.
[Nook Color General] MissKristine:
I saw that option in the Zeam settings, and it is enabled, that's why my homescreen still rotates. I can't find a setting that would control the apps rotation. I don't know if this is a Zeam issue, since everything on my homescreen is okay. And it happened all of a sudden, I hadn't changed any settings or fiddled with anything anywhere else. All I did yesterday was check my email and play angry birds ;)
[Nook Color General] guchdog:
It should be a setting for your Nook Color not Zeam. In your apps drawer find NookColorTools. Then look for a display setting.
[Nook Color General] MissKristine:
Okay, here is another stupid question... when I go into my nook color tools, my "back" and "menu" buttons dissappear from the bottom of my screen, so how do I back out of a menu? The only thing I can do is hit my n button to go back to the home screen, and when I go BACK into nook color tools, it is still in the same menu I was at before. I can't find a way to get to the main color tools menu. I've killed all my running apps, and color tools still wont go back to it's main menu. Shutting the nook off works, but that's a pain in the butt. I don't want to remap my volume buttons, because I use them all the time. Is that my only option? I don't have this problem with any other app, just nook color tools.

Thanks guys!

Edit: Found the setting in Color tools, so that problem is fixed. I don't know how that setting got "unchecked" I haven't been in the settings recently???? oh well, it's fixed.

...but I still don't know how to back out of a menu in nook color tools without shutting down the device.
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
You can go back a screen anywhere as long as you can see the black bar on the bottom of the screen. All you have to do is swipe your finger from right to left and it will go back. You can also get Button Savior or SoftKeys from the market and they will allow you to have buttons display over the top on the screen so they are always there
[Nook Color General] MissKristine:
Thanks! I forgot about the swipe feature. I have softkeys but i don't like the additional buttons hovering. I just use the back and menu buttons on my status bar and have my n button programmed to go to my launchers homescreen. Nice and clean and simple. Just the way i like it

Thanks again everyone!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroom_cult:
I have a rooted sprint hero running aosp mod (latest stable, not gingerbread - don't remember the version number). Up until Sunday everything was working fine. Sunday evening I noticed that I hadn't gotten any texts all day (highly unusual). Started to text my fiancée, didn't recieve a response. Called her a couple hours later, she said she'd recieved them and replied. I figured it was a sprint issue and would pass by the next day. Next day, still nothing. Stood next to a friend of mine, had him text me, nothing. Sent him a text and he received it almost instantly. As of today I still can't recieve texts, though everything else works just fine. Is this a simple software issue on my end that can be fixed by reflashing my rom? Or is it something more serious that I need to see a sprinnt Rep for? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddahWolf01:
I saw a guy have this issue with cyanogenmod. He ended up flashing a different rom and all his texts came through at once then. He was using the nightly releases, so I think he just waited until the next nightly came out. You might should just reflash and see if that helps.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
This is a common issue. Usually it is due to deleting the stock messaging app because you have handcent or chomp, but those apps pull the info from the stock sms app, so if you deleted it, reinstall it. The other cause is just a known bug in froyo, and though I have never had the issue, many many others have been able to fix it by going into recovery, nandroiding your current setup, wipe EVERYTHING, flash a sense rom, go into settings and update your profile and PRL, then open texts up (you should get a bunch), then going back into recovery, wipe everything again, and restore your nand. Hope this fixes it, good luck.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushroom_cult:
Sounds good, I'll give it a shot when I get off work. Does it matter what sense rom I flash? More specifically, can I just use an ruu from HTC.com or will I lose my root?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
RUU takes longer. also, dpending on how you rooted you will probably lose root. just run ANY sense based rom (custom too), fresh,NFX,liquid, whatever, it'll only take like 5-10 minutes. Also, just a hint, make a nand of the sense rom before you go back to your current one, that way you can update your profile/PRL whenever you want. I keep a sense NFX rom in my nand folder for just that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Or you can wait till I release an updated dualboot script and have both easily accessible. Should be released this week.

Oh, and like some others said, its a problem with froyo and some phones. You might look in the froyo sense thread and try the fix listed in the first post.
