[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamontryst:
the very bottom of my touch screen (i'd say about 1/4" of it) sometimes doesn't respond when touched, i say sometime, but really its only in a few apps, in the Facebook app i cant check my notifications unless i use the scroll pad, in Gmail i cant delete a message unless i switch to landscape, at first i thought it was the touchscreen, but the app drawer launcher opens ass it should, the space bar on the soft keyboard works as it should, i can scroll through the market if i swipe from bottom up, which leads me to believe its some sort of software error... has anyone else had this problem? if so, do you know how to fix it?

also, I've tried it in different roms (stock, cm 6.1) and have rebooted several times but to no avail

thanks in advance

I here that the radio effects all driver so you could try to flash a new one. Make sure it doesnt undo the root though!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamontryst:
well, ive tried several different things... basically I ended up completely reverting back to the stock PC10IMG... i am now running stock, ota, no root... basically out of the box plus a minutes, but alas, my touch screen is still doing the same, I've gone through several apps and from i can tell, the majority of the ones that give me issues are the stock ones (i.e. gmail, facebook, voice, etc) and some third party ones (andy 83; the entire bottom row doesn't work which makes it useless as a calculator, wordfued free). Im really not sure how to proceed from here seeing as it seems contained in several apps, but not in the system as a whole... i guess i can live with it, its annoying, but not unuseable
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
How do you make it so that the "green globe" browser icon will launch a different browser? For example, if I want to use Firefox 4 Beta, but want to retain the "green globe" icon on my main dock but have it launch Firefox when I tap that, how do I do that?

I recall the browser once asking me what I wanted my default browser to be. I don't know how to clear that or reset it so it asks again. I've tried settings and clearing cache, etc. Doesn't seem like I can clear the "launch by default" option in the app settings. It's faded out. Can't even do anything in that section.

Help?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Settings. Applications. Manage applications. Click browser. Clear defaults.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
The green browser icon will always launch the default browser unless you use a custom launcher like adw where you can change the icon of Firefox to the green globe.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
Right. I was hoping there was a more 'official' way to do it. Okay, thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
You could edit the PNG inside the Firefox apk - I know it can be done but I don't really have knowledge of it. Perhaps search for PNG editing?

Edit: Didn't see that you wanted to use the stock Launcher and make firefox the one that launches from the dock. I'm pretty sure that's impossible without some deep deep coding.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
If you open the apk with winrar or7zip it will leave the file signed and zipped but you will be able to edit images within the file. open the res folder and find a firefox icon. Replace it with a globe and the icon should change.

I'll actually try this in a few minutes to see how possible it is. If it works I'll post the modified apk
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I changed the icon and while it is clear it has been changed (you can see it in the installation window) it wouldn't install. Next I tried overwriting the standard apk with the modified one and that only resulted in making the entire app disappear on reboot. I attached the modified apk in case someone else wants to try but I'm throwing in my towel.

EDIT: Odd, it didn't actually attached my file so here is a download link
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
If you are willing to use a third party launcher, I can attach the gingerbread dock background as well as the stock icons so you can achieve the same effect.

After upgrading my rom to a new rom, i got a voicemail notification. I checked and nothing, i restarted my phone because i am installing apps. Each time i restart it says i have a voicemail when i have none. I did a task29, hard reset and flashed a totally new rom and i still have this crap. I put the sim in my friends pure and no vm. This is totally weird it makes no sense and so far att cannot help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] palkalocka:
Double check your voicemail number. I had this problem for a while until I realized that I had a message on the VM carrier that was embedded in my SIM(att) and not the one I was actually using(google voice). So even though the phone was setup to call google one as default, it was still checking the att one for notifications.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
I had this too and it didn't go away until I got a new SIM.

I made this .cab for a temp fix.

Though after using SMS Delivery Receipt Fix (select it manually from the left) these problems solved like thin air :D

On a rooted Nook Color running 1.0.1 and attempting to install Froyo as per:

mobilityupdate.com/tablet/android-2-2-nook-color/comment-page-1/#comment-961

I am unable to push the file (system.img) to the sdcard

At first, I was unable to push any files to the sdcard, but remounting the rootfs enabled me to get the boot.img file there.

Every time I try it with the system.img file, the nook crashes after about 5 minutes and throws a protocol error in adb.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10tonhammr:
Kernel flashing doesn't always go smoothly. Repeated kernel flashing without complete system wipes in between can cause some things to start going horribly wrong.

Don't use SetCPU to set clockspeeds. Just stick with voltage control.

If you forgot to disable any lagfixes at any point along the way, that could explain alot of the problem.

Suckerpunch kernel is a great concept and is showing alot of promise, but I personally have had alot of stability issues while using it, including random freezes (YMMV, of couse).

Just my opinion, but I would just back up all your data, flash back to stock, master clear, wipe all your cache data, reflash your rom, pick a kernel and stick with it for a while. If you want pure stability and battery life, use the most recent version of either DG's Firebird kernel 2 or Hardcore's speedmod kernel. If you want stability and oc/uv enabled, stick with Glitterball's kernel. Those 3 have been the best for me personally (again, YMMV).

You should have tried searching first, perhaps with this search query (hotspot error).

This is discussed in at least two other threads already. One of them may answer your questions:

[Q] Wifi Hotspot tether Error

or

[Q] Samsug Nexus S WiFi issues, problems?

There doesn't seem to be a real fix, just some workarounds.

Good luck!
[Nexus S General] serialtoon:
Thanks distortedloop. I actually did make 2 searches under different things and even when you post it looks for a thread similar to what you are posting about. And nothing. Thank you for being helpful though! Ill look into those two posts..
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yeah, I know, that's why I usually point people to the threads with the answers, or answer the question along with the "search" comment. A lot of people just say search, plus I was a bit cranky.

Anyways, I hope one of those threads answers your questions. I'm very disappointed in the hotspot performance on the Nexus S compared to my i9000 and Nexus One (with the wireless tether app).

i believe this is a common request but i have not found a good solution.

i dual boot from winmo 6.5 to android and want to sync SMS between them.

contacts are easy through gmail.

i have seen solutions using export csv/xml, some sort of file text string manipulation, then import but all a bit convoluted. i could do this ok for a 1-off transfer.

i do not want to replace either of the databases, only import/merge.

anyone have an easy(ish) answer. must be able to handle folders.

paid for progs are not a problem but free is always nice :)

(i already posted on android apps but 44 views and no replys, and now its 6 pages down :( )
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dark_prince:
you should bump your thread there. I dont think there is 100% compatible cross platform SMS export since usually android apps are made considering android as primary OS
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gazzacbr:
@dark_prince: did think about that but on the android forum i think they already made the switch, so the one-time transfer has been done. was hoping to have more luck here with people dual booting.

i will continue searching as i cannot live without winmo yet (mostly for offline maps and gps stuff)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mmec2:
For offline maps and gps check out Mapdroyd. It doesn't do navigation, but I haven't found anything better for offline maps and gps, and because it uses vector maps not stored images, the maps take up surprisingly little space. Also it's free!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gazzacbr:
ok, thanks but thats the killer. i have tomtom and igo maps and navigation is what i need.

so, hard to believe that with all the dual boot, and even 2 phone people, there is not an app to sync the 2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geomez:
Hello,

I've run BiffMod-HD2 Vanilla Froyo and am currently running MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 Gingerbread on my HD2.

In both instances, UI elements and apps with gradients look low-quality and have step banding.

I think it may be only with PNG files used in backgrounds, buttons, and widgets etc. Anyway, its ugly. Does anybody know why this is and how to fix it?

I took screenshots, but they the gradients look perfectly smooth when I view them on my computer.

:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Slomchom:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geomez:
Does anybody know?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wilderwind:
Same problem. I think, it happens because HD2 screen is 65k colours only, and Windows Mobile UI is adapted for this mode. But Android was designed for AMOLED screens with millions of colours...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kundanjuit:
Yes the banding is due to 65K color limitation to the HD2 screen. I guess the banding disappears while using the Launcher Pro.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wilderwind:
Is it hardware or software limitation? Any way to unlock another color modes?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mayurolla:
It is not hardware limitations. There is already another thread with a ton of info. If you want banding to go away, use LauncherPro WITHOUT a live wallpaper until a permanent fix is implemented.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=933444&highlight=banding
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geomez:
Thanks. I didn't think it was because of the screen's color limitations. If so you would see banding in JPGs and video. The banding only seems to appear on PNG files, which happen to be used in most graphical UI elements.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geomez:
Just tried Launcher Pro and I still have the same problem. I used to use Launcher Pro on BiffMod Froyo and the same thing. The problem presists with 2.2 Launcher, 2.3 Launcher, Zeam, ADW, and Launcher Pro.

And its not only in Widgets. It can be seen in most UI buttons, the call screen, and most predominantly in the voice command pop up. That thing looks like a coin would shoot out if Mario hit it with his fist.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mayurolla:
The banding remains elsewhere, but using launcherpro, the banding disappears on the widgets and wallpaper. AGAIN YOU CAN NOT USE A LIVE WALLPAPER with launcerpro or else banding will appear. Then under advanced settings, select high quality scrolling so you dont see banding while scrolling.

I'm using LauncherPro with PureGingerbread this works for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geomez:
I don't use live wallpapers. Still doesn't work for me. Oh well. Using Launcher Pro is really just. Bandaid anyway. The root of the problem is still unknown, at least to me and most people here.

I feel like some kind of short bus noob for asking, but I just can't find an answer. I recently obtained a Samsung Vibrant for real cheap from a friend, and I have it unlocked and flashed with Bionix-V Non-TouchWiz. But, only EDGE data is working in an area where there is 3G. This leads me to believe that, some how, 850mhz is disabled, while most of AT&T's network is 850mhz. I'm on baseband version T959UVKA7, and I think that flashing this to something else (i.e. the Captivate baseband) would fix this problem. But I have no clue where to begin. Preferably, I don't want to wipe my phone or anything, but is there a way to do this in ClockworkMod Recovery or whatever?

[Milestone XT720 General] insz:
Hi there,

I'm having an issue with the my XT720 and hopefully someone can help, or has at least seen something similar. When the phone goes unused for a minute and the screen times out, I can not get it to come back on as expected. If I press the power button, the lights under the four buttons power on, but the screen stays off, and both the screen and buttons don't respond to being touched (ie no noise, no feedback, nothing). If I hold the power button down, it will not stop or start, and I have to do a battery pull (the phone has not been rooted). If I press the power button to lock the phone manually, it can come back to life, but not after a timeout.

This started happening when I replaced the sd card that was included with a new one. I've had occasional issues where it will decide that I don't have an sd card inserted (also fixed by a few battery pulls), so I figured time to get a new / faster sd card. The new one has worked fine in my PC to store data, but once I put it in the phone, this happens.

If I switch back to the old sd card, the screen problem goes away. I've tried formatting the sd card from the phone (as well as from my pc), and it doesn't help.

Any ideas or input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brandon
[Milestone XT720 General] everest007:
I had a similar unpredictable problem. I'm not sure what the core of the problem is but sometimes I suspected the SD-card as you did.

Sometimes the phone didn't show up the display even after a battery pull out. The thing that always helped in MY case was to pull out the battery for 1 hour and the problem disappeared for 1-2 months...

Hope this will help.
[Milestone XT720 General] reaperzero:
did you in anyway modify your phone? that includes rooting etc

i had this problem before but it stopped after i cleared my davik cache and it re populated the directory after i rebooted it. worse case scenario, you might want to try reflashing it.
[Milestone XT720 General] insz:
I've not modified it at all. No rooting, no flashing, nothing. And I'm not keen to reflash it as it's from Wind in Canada, and there is no Wind rom posted. I know others are compatible, but I suspect it would make it harder to get warranty service if it has a BrightPoint rom on it (though I guess I should check the build number and see if it's the same).
[Milestone XT720 General] donovanx3:
I (occasionally) have the same problem. I, on the other hand, have had this issue since I bought the phone back in August of 2010. My phone is rooted, sometimes overclocked, and running standard android 2.1update1. What happens to my phone is that it is in lock mode and I press the lock button and all that happens is the 4 buttons below the screen illuminate but the screen itself does not. To solve it, I do a battery pull and it is back to normal. I don't know specifically what causes it because apparently this problem is also happening in unrooted XT720's. BTW I have never changed my SD card from the 8GB one that came with the phone.
[Milestone XT720 General] texascowboy:
I hate to hear about this issue but I'm glad I'm not the only one having it. I just got my XT711 a few days ago and the screen has done the same thing a few times to me also. I know 1-2 times I just picked up my phone and it did it, another time was when my camera froze, and once even when I paused Angry Birds game until the screen shut off, that time when I pushed the lock/ power button the 4 bottom lights came on and I could here the sounds from my game but my screen was blank. Hasn't done it in a couple of days, so hopefully it just had the flu!:D If anyone finds out what it is, let me know also because I've seen people with all models of XT phones having it.
