[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwleonhart:
Ok question..

My girl has a Iphone 3G... She's in love with my vibrant, so I was thinking of buying her a captivate since she's on the ATT network. I'm just going to be purchasing one off craigslist, but if she can use the Vibrant on her network i'll just do whatever is necessary to make that happen.

The one question I have is though.. the one guy on here was talking about some $10 unlimited plan. First off what are you supposed to tell them at AT&T? And doesn't AT&T have an android plan like T-Mobile does?

I was told by the T-Mobile rep that without the "Android Data Plan" for T-Mobile, the Vibrant would not work... was I lied to?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reuthermonkey:
Generally speaking, if you're using an ATT-branded device on ATT's network, or a T-Mobile-branded device on TMO's network, you have to use the respective network's premium (smartphone) packages.

But if you use an ATT device on TMO's network, or a TMO device on ATT's network, typically you can use "dumbphone" data packages that are cheaper, since TMO and ATT don't have an official record of your device's capabilities.

Consider it a benefit of using a GSM/UMTS network.

Not sure if that makes a ton of sense. But simply put, the TMO rep didn't lie to you. And the guy above who stated that you can probably use the cheaper plan on ATT is probably right too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
Hi all,

I own a Desire HD but it's car panel and navigation software are portrait only. And with my holder mounted on my windscreen I have to rotate the holder in landscape to put the phone in and then rotate it back to portrait to use it. So I'm wondering if you have landscape car panel and/or navigation with the Dezire Z.

Sorry if it has been asked before, but my search returned nothing. I hope you have landscape mode and it can somehow be ported to the DHD.

Hello,

I've been having touch screen issues lately, since i rooted and switched to CM 6.1 a couple of weeks ago. The screen will work perfectly for a little while, but will inevitably stop responding. I'm using launcherpro, though i don't believe that's the issue- it happens regardless of which launcher I'm running (I've tried others and experienced the same issue. The optical scroll pad will still "sort of" work- better than the screen (which will respond to the occasional touch after the problem begins, but barely does). If I reboot, the problem will usually go away for a while again, but will recur. I wind up needing to fix the issue once or twice a day. I don't think it's a hardware problem because the reset fixes it, so I assume it is then software. Also, i don't remember having this problem with the stock rom. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] daaango:
Dunno how useful this will be, but have you tried reflashing CM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] huh28:
Same problem here. But I've noticed sometimes if I'm using the phone not in my hand (on car dock or just on table) this problem seems to happen more...but when I hold it in my palm then works fine.

But sometimes it just becomes unresponsive. Am running virtous's rom on my g2. But I can remember having the same issue when running cm on my g1 days too. Reboot always fixed it, just gets annoying.

Anyone have fixes to this? Thanks!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] jtadak:
I personally use GV 7 or sparksmod and. Never had a problem, these are the best roms I think for this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SRT102JZ:
Been having this exact problem for weeks now. And I believe it is a hardware problem, probably some sort of short in one of the ribbon cables or the digitizer itself. Occasionally, actually 85% of the time I'd try to open an apparently and the phone would act if I held my finger down and then the apparently icon gets selected...very annoying cus it happens over and over a couple times, all I can do is keep trying until it does what its supposed to. Also with the on screen keyboard when I'm texting it'll act like I'm holding down on one of the letters and keeps bringing up the special characters to that letter...or ill tap delete to delete a spelling error and it'll end up holding it down and deleting my whole damn text and I can't stop it.

At first when this first started happening I could simply tap the screen and it would stop the crap it was doing and work fine. As time went on I noticed I kept having to hit it harder and harder for it to correct it. Wellllll guess what? Last night it was acting up horribly and I slammed my closed hand against it while it was on the desk and it cracked the LCD screen and now the phone is completely useless, even though the outer touchscreen is perfectly fine.

The restarting of the phone also usually fixed it for me as well but only for a few minutes.. which also makes me think its a short because after the phone is turned off whatever part is shorting out, that circuit is closed and just takes time until you press on the screen in whatever spot to cause the two parts to touch and create the short all over again.

Anyways that's my story...just don't get angry and slam down on the screen lol. This is my 2nd G2 and I'm tired of it, probably just going to get a nexus s or just go back to the nexus one, atleast it was reliable.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:
i took help from dark lestat's modified framework-res.apk

and created a really cool theme.

nexus one look.

though more customization coming, and a new theme for gingerbread coming.

bugs: 1. extar space ahead of some boxes.,

2. the download strip bug of dark lestat has also been solved

just try it....

the status bar is absolutely like nexus one with all those icons.

i dont know how to take screenshot.

try it. its great.

thanks to dark lestat:

now i can also create any look i want.

dark lestat try it.........and give feedback....

using root explorer paste it into system<framework.

and replace the default one.

there would be hang and force closes, vibrations, dont worry

the phone would reboot itself, and viola.......

thats it. no adb commands etc. required.

do leave comments and feedbacks.

new screenshots attached.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] JoHnNy08PL:
Please, when you are scaling icons, use transparency. Now at every icon(i guess, only from screens ;)) you have black border
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] abhi0n0nakul:
i havent made these icons.. and these are default ones from htc. i guess.

i am changing many things right now. it had bugs.. lol

the background had to be black coz the icons are white, and in the white statusbar they wont be visible then...

when ever i try to run it, it opens and closes like with a blink of an eye...

need help to make market work

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsabaki:
Did you flash the google apps or just a zip of the market???

I tried flashing just the market zip and had the same problem......Had to flash the g/apps zip and then wade through all the crap I wanted to remove again....

Flash the g/apps and make sure you log into your gmail account, enable back ground data on the phone, and then try re-opening the market.

Hope this helps!!

P.S......Trips cyanogen rom ROCKS!!!!!

[Defy General] jastonas:
I ve been looking for a while with no success on the forum.

A friend just got the Defy but cannot get facebook to sync his contacts.

Phone is fresh, with no root or custom rom.

I installed for him the Facebook app which sat on top of the stock facebook app and still no luck. There is no sync contacs in facebook > settings.

In Settings> Accounts> Add, there is the option for facebook but clicking on it will do absolutely nothing (well.. the icon does get colored when clicking but just that!).
[Defy General] m0nk3e:
did he add Facebook to his Motoblur Accounts?
[Defy General] pjcons:
I had the same problem with a modded rom. Went back to stock and all ok.
[Defy General] ccav2000:
The Greek ROM is the CEE ROM, the Central Europe ROM and it does not include Motoblur. The official Facebook app won't sync, not sure if it's a bug or intentional. The only way is to flash the phone with a Motoblur enabled ROM, but then no more Greek menus, so it's up to your friend.
[Defy General] jastonas:
Thank you very much for your reply!

Not having greek menus is not a problem, but the phone is not rooted. Need to root to get a english-facebook-working rom?
[Defy General] ijuanp03:
Hi, my Defy is just 5 days old and I'm also experiencing the same issue. Mine's Asian firmware (with no motoblur) and is experiencing the same error.

Just wanna ask if I will just do the same procedure- using RSD Lite to flash another ROM? I've downloaded UK firmware JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 (with a note "You cannot downgrade after flashing this firmware.")

Is it safe to flash this directly to my asian FW JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0 ??
[Defy General] daniel_loft:
I can confirm that the Greek firmware version (which you can find at Germanos Romania) has the problems with the Facebook app.

From what I found the problem seems to be the Facebook app and you can't do much about it.

I gave up on searching for a while, but I'll get back after I finish customizing the phone. Maybe the much expected update will save us all.

Cheers!
[Defy General] laruncutean:
Same problem for me with Facebook and Defy bought in Romania - sync is not working
[Defy General] pirosparadicsom:
Same here in Hungary. With the stock Blurless rom.
[Defy General] Khrushy:
It's "safe", the flash will work without a problem - BUT - I'd recommend you actually flash the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 ROM. It's a bit older, but many people who upgraded to the 2.51 version have had issues upgrading to Froyo later - so I'd suggest you avoid it. The 2.21 ROM has no such issues.
[Defy General] ccav2000:
That won't work, he states he already is on version 2.51 which means he cannot flash anything earlier, the phone won't boot. He can safely flash the UK 2.51 though.
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Exact same problem here. Phone was on firmware 2.51 out of the box so nothing I can do about that. I also installed latest facebook app and indeed tapping facebook in the add accounts screen does nothing. I am using rom Adlxmod F4D version 2 which is Froyo.

Read somewhere on the internet that it can also be device specific so facebook does not natively support sync for all phone models. Hope that is not true...

Here they have a modified Facebook apk for sync to work on a CM rom for the EVO 4G. Maybe someone can do the same for the Defy. :)

And more interesting stuff to read.
[Defy General] AgentSmith:
Nobody is interested to investigate this a little bit more? I've been looking into modding apk's but I found nothing about locking in or out certain devices. Also tried random text searches, call them educated guesses, in the apk-files but again found nothing. It seems that Facebook sync is only supported in Android 2.2 and since the Defy officially still has 2.1 it probably takes a while before Facebook officially allows us to sync.
[Defy General] obscurant1st:
somebody pls look into this! I need facebook sync soo badly! :(
[Defy General] adyrafy:
Facebook sync solved!

I am on Pays ROM and had the same error trying to sync Facebook contacts.

The answer is here my friends:

Look up the Social Buzz apk on the net.

I've found it in a multiupload link on the net.

The socal buzz apk comes in a zip file with 2 apps to instal.

First install pluto and then install the Social buzz apk.

It logs in Facebook quickly and it restores the Facebook contacts sync.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
is there a way to sync facebook contacts with the ones in gmail? because that would solve the problem (btw i have the blurless hungarian rom too). i know you can load gmail contacts to facebook, the question is if it is possible to do it the other way around...
[Defy General] Tusse:
I had the same problem with my htc magic ruining on CM 6.1.

But after that I installed the skype app and synced contacts with that, the fb sync started to work too...

The contacts sync isnt yet supprted in the official facebook app but there is a rom that lets you merge facebook without the need of a blur account.

My FB account not syncing in my Moto Defy without motoblur. The add account does nothing.

Installed an app called Contapps which solved the syncing. But the syncing is not so seamless as ROM managed syncs.

I have a no-ROM (Blur) DEFY, downloaded the official FB app and in the FB option menu there's no tab about syncing. This has been reported as much likely not a bug either in DEFY and FB official app.

Using the Account settings I've added the FB account and, later, added a second accound not chosen by the default accounts posed by Blur.

It actually syncs everything in the backgound, I have found my contact list very populated (twitter, FB, last.fm, LinkedIN, 4sq and more).

Very sorry if this has been asked before, I have done a search and not found anything!

I rooted my HTC Hero and installed VR12-which I was very happy. However, I ran out of battery life and the phone switched off. Then when I tried to switch it on after a charge it stuck at the "Hero" screen and didnt load. I then went into recovery and flashed the ROM again...It switched off after my battery ran out and did the same thing...no booting!

Why is this? I flashed with Tegro ROM but I miss the HTC Sense bottom bar. I'm flashing RCMix in the interim...See how that goes...

I picked up a refurbed EVO Tuesday and immediately rooted it. I later found out that the 3G is really slow, i'm only getting .05-.1Mbps through speedtest.net's app but the actual experience feels much slower. Switching to 4G or wifi will yield appropriate speeds.

I thought maybe it was the ROMs but i went back to the stock ROM, Myn's ROM, and Fresh's ROMs and they all had slow 3G speeds.

Any ideas on what's up? My last resort would be to unroot it and bring it back for them to check it out :/

it's not your phone as sprint is having random outages right now with voice & data. your not alone.

i also believe they also may be doing some sort of network change due to the big announcement they will have here shortly. i could be wrong on that but i have a feeling that's whats causing the issues.
[EVO 4G General] aliaselchore:
Try this by gokuman56. His post his credit. Is great and it works.

You will need your MSL, Call Sprint or follow this:

1. Dial ##3282#

2. It will open a menu, click WiMAX and enter MSL. Note: 4G radio must be on.

3. Go to extensions and Hold EntryRX and Write Extension

4. Change the Value to -110 (The Lower the weaker the signal can be for the phone to connect.

5. Change EntryCINR to 0004

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are tired of the Radio taking forever to reconnect once you loose your 4G signal, then:

1. Change Scan Retries to 00015

2. Change Scan attempt timeout to 0002

You will now have a somewhat faster and much stronger 4G signal!!!

EDIT: Easier Way to get MSL. Okay so you have to download connectbot from the Market

1. Open ConnectBot

2. Agree Next Next Yada Yada

3. Press SSH and select Local

4. type in whatever you want by local and press enter

5. ok once you see a black screen and to the left a cash sign, type in "getprop" without the quotes

6. You should see a lot of words, scroll up all the way at the top.

7. Near the middle of the screen until you see [ril.MSL]

8. It will be 6 digits and that's your MSL

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For 3G Try This..

It may already be implemented in your ROM, just check again:

Steps:

1. Know the MSL

2. Dial ##3282#

3. Go to multimedia

4. HTTPPD Proxy Port must be 0

5. HTTPPD Proxy Address must be 0.0.0.0
