[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewedpup:
I have just rooted my phone to Gingerbread, and I just LOVE it. I was able to set up the gmail accounts easily, so I have two separate gmail "labels" on my phone, each one for a different gmail account. I still cannot get the message count to show up on my notification bar, however, but that's not the reason for this post.

I am trying to do the same thing for my yahoo accounts (I have two of them). Yes, I can download the yahoo widget/app and that puts yahoo pretty much live on my phone - but I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for the shortcuts, like Gmail, so I can click on them and it takes me to a brief list of emails etc. I don't want to have full access to yahoo on my phone, but just the shortcuts.

When I try to set it up, this is what I do:

1) put a shortcut to the Email icon on my screen and name it.

2) When I try to configure it, I put my yahoo user name (xxx at yahoo.com) in and password

3) the message that comes up is "Mailbox access is not supported for some times of yahoo mail accounts" etc. I click on OK

4) it tells me setup could not finish as there is an incorrect username or password. I am 10000% certain I enter the correct name and password.

5) if I try a different yahoo email account, I get the same error message, plus (530 Access Denied: need SMTP privileges to access this server).

I used to have yahoo email shortcuts on my phone before I rooted - and they were great. I had two icons, and the message count showed up in my notification bar. When I rooted first (to I guess AOSP 9.9.2, before gingerbread), I could get the yahoo mail icons to work, no problem. I was not able to add an account in the "accounts and sync" - that only offers me "google" or "corporate" (which I guess is exchange). It's only with gingerbread i am having this problem.

I am VERY basic when it comes to using the phone, so if anyone responds, please pretend I'm about four years old, so please explain in basic language what I need to do. Anything complicated, and I might not follow (sorry). Still a newbie.

Thank you everyone.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
This has been a problem for me on some roms too. Including aospCMod, some will let you set up a yahoo account and others will not. I first noticed this when I switched from cm6 to aospmod awhile back. Cm6 would let me sign in to a yahoo account but aosp would not. Then about 2 updates later on aospmod, I could all of a sudden sign in.

So this leads me to believe its an internal setting that the dev can modify to fix this. What it is idk, and when it'll come for or gingerbread roms idk, but take comfort in knowing your not the only one who has come across this.

Its kind of weird really, hopefully someone else knows why this happens out how to fix it.

Try using K9 mail, it is free in the market and much better than Yahoo mail app. I am sure you will be able to get emails and such, but not sure how much it will help with the other widget type problems.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
Are you setting up manually or automatically. I've always had better luck setting up manually. If so you have to make servers say:

Smtp.mail.yahoo.com

IMAP..mail.yahoo.com

Finally - this worked doing it manually with these settings! Thanks!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewedpup:
Unbelievable!!! Yes! It worked!

thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!!

did this manually and it worked like a charm! Thank you - hope it's OK if I go and post this on the android forum - a few people are having the same issues there. THANK YOU!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
I tried this manually and it didn't work. Said it couldn't conner to the server.

Does the port need to be changed?

I must be doing something wrong if others are getting it to work.

edit: it tells me unable to open connection to server
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
My port says 143 but turn security is off if I remember. I will check when I get home from the second job.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
Make sure you make it an imap account, security set to none, port should change to 143. If that doesn't get it let me know. Try auto setup too. I just deleted mine and started over and it took that way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
Just bear in mind I'm not on GB. Tried it and don't care for it. Sense has everything I need with half the apps to dl so it could be the build you're running.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chewedpup:
Yahoo doesn't work any more :-(

Strange. yesterday, I set it up and it worked like a charm - IMAP and smtp, changed the server settings (did it all manually) - worked very well yesterday and today was working just fine. Hadn't checked my emails for a few hours though - just tried - and it tells now incorrect user name or password. I deleted it and tried to add the yahoo account again - first it tells me unable to open connection to server. Tried again (making sure all settings were correct) and it just says incorrect username or password.

Under IMAP server I have imap.mail.yahoo.com, port 143, security type none - exactly like I had it yesterday and this morning, and it doesn't work. incorrect username or password.

I haven't changed a THING with my phone - not a single thing - or downloaded any new apps - so I'm mystified. Thoughts anyone?

Thank you
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
Mine did the same last night after a nand restore. I deleted account and did auto setup and that worked. Try that and manual again. Must have been a glitch

Yahoo email problem - resolution below

Thanks again to xda developers (a different thread) - this is the set up if you want a link to your yahoo mail on your phone: The previous one stopped working - here is the resolution. THANK YOU EVERYONE.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11578143&postcount=7754

This method is no longer working... says "setup could not finish, Username or password incorrect. ()"

Edit, found out the port changed...

# Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

# Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com

# Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)

# Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDowntown12:
I was just gonna say the same thing.

I finally got mine working when I saw this post in the gingerbread thread also.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aqualls:
Sorry. Like I said, my phone doesn't like GB so I didn't realize it used different ports. This setup works on froyo and stock.

[Captivate General] ninjuh:
I went into at&t today on my lunch break to try & talk them into putting me back on my unlimited data plan I once had when I had my iPhone. The last 2 months I've gone just over 2gb because of downloading roms from xda over data(when u gotta flash u gotta flash)

Anyways. He pulled up my data activity on his computer and as we were overlooking everything I had to hold back laughing out loud. It was hilarious seeing the size of roms I'm downloading and the at&t Rep saying "160mb! That is outrageous you must be downloading something!"

Also seeing the kernels I download, 6-7mb, on his screen.

IDk. I got a laugh. Thought I'd share
[Captivate General] rwj5279955:
So did they let you get back on the unlimited data plan?

I was lucky enough to be able to keep my unlimited, for now anyway. Before they force me to pick a new data plan.
[Captivate General] rizzo269:
LOL....thats great. I tried and tried to get the unlimited data that I had on my bberry but was unsuccessful. I try to keep wifi connected for the big downloads, but sometimes you just have to get the latest ROM.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
No I was not able to get my unlimited plan back. They said it isn't possible(probably bull****) but policy is policy.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
this is hilarious man. thanks for sharing. I would probably have a similar experience since i am an avid flasher and mobile ap user. I still have unlimited though!! XD for now that is :(
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Well, at least I don't feel quite so bad that they shot me down too for the unlimited package being added back on. I think it is that they just don't want to. I went as far as threatening to move all of my five lines to another carrier that has it. Maybe when I go to move the first one over, they may reconsider? Wishful thinking. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] bay_wolf:
That sucks you can't get the unlimited data plan back. I've made damn sure they don't remove it on mine between all my updates from the iphone 3g.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Yeah its pretty lame, I had the unlimited for over 4 years and after changing my plan 3 months ago I can't go back.
[Captivate General] bulletproof1013:
I still have my unlim data. Once went 6g with my captivate.
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Now, isn't that interesting.......I was told that they were allowing people that canceled within 90 days would be able to get it back because of Verizon offering it to lure away customers. Since you were right about 90 days, I think they are just being asses to their loyal customers. I changed mine about a year ago, but if they shafted you, that is really low. Maybe I should move all my lines.

Or maybe if enough people complain, they will reinstate it with some of the IPhone base unloading. (wishful thinking again I guess).

Any takers to call and complain? Threaten to move? :mad:
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Are you telling me they can see what you've downloaded and not just the size of a download? That scares the hell out of me.:eek:

[Captivate General] pillz424:
If you go to one of the new "4G" HSPA+ phones. You will lose your unlimited data. It will be replaced with a 4GB plan that is "specially provisioned" for the phone. I believe it is because these phones have the ability to be a wifi hotspot and att doesnt want your unlim data to be a hotspot. There is no way around it that i know of.
[Captivate General] boborone:
The captivate can do that, my old fuze could do that. Tilt 2 could do that. Nothing new.
[Captivate General] haydonxda:
Purchasing the phone outright used to do the trick.
[Captivate General] jessymessy:
I got to keep my unlimited data when I switched from a family to one line. Try calling at&t instead of going to the stores.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
That is incorrect. You can still keep your unlimited data. But if you want 'HotSpot' feature, you can't have unlimited (and need to pay way more, like $45 for 4GB). But you don't have to sign up 'HotSpot' feature. It is not mandatory.
[Captivate General] Red_81:
I was able to keep my unlimited plan. However, I'm a premier support customer through work and I find the premier support reps are always more helpful.
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
I don't think that people have had many problems being "Grandfathered" if they currently had the unlimited data and wanted to keep it. I am just curious if anybody at all had any luck getting it reinstated as AT&T was stating it would do to keep some of it's customers from wandering to Verizon. Has anyone heard of anyone they know get it back on their plan? Or is AT&T just bold faced liars?
[Captivate General] rlang93:
I recently switched over from an Iphone 3g to my cappy. I was told that I was "grandfathered" into my unlimited plan but something went wrong in the transfer and the **** at&t guy cancelled my plan and put me on a new data plan.

I didn't know until I got my next bill and was able to talk myself back into the unlimited plan (after about 45 mins on the phone with these people)...so under special circumstances it can happen.

There are some replacement launchers out there , but i feel you lose a lot of features running any of those . So here is my current setup . im really happy with it , and thought it might help out those of you that are going to that look.

I have developed a small lockscreen problem. I can't get the lock screen to come up anymore. When i go into standby through time out of pressing power the screen just goes black and doesn't kick into the lockscreen anymore.

I'm sure its a software error and a re-image would fix it but i'd like to fix this without having to do this.

I'm using mdj gingerbread cyanogenmod 7 v2.3 NAND. The rom itself works perfectly and i've had no problems until now.

I have noticed that the fade out screen that is on this rom doesn't happen any longer. When i press power the screen just goes black. then i press it again no matter the wait the screen just comes straight back on where i left it :(

Checked through cyanogenmod settings and the lockscreen is set to instant after standby and time out but still nothing.

help i've been calling and e-mailing the world from my pocket!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
I don't know what your problem is but I am willing to bet that the issue has been caused by an app that you have downloaded and is now conflicting with the lockscreen. Have you downloaded and lockscreen replacements (eg Widget Locker), or maybe a screen off app (eg Screen Off)?

Either way, perform a restore and you'll be fine.

You did backup your system didn't you?!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jason2234:
Its not from a lock screen app but from a general app just not sure which one. Removed my last few installed apps but its no different. Everything is backed up I'd just rather try and fix the problem and wait to reimage when 2.3 with sense comes out. There has to be a way:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daniel3006:
I have the same problem. it happend the first time yesterday on Typhoon CM7 2.2 build. so I figured that it must have been an error in that build, so I updated to Typhoon CM7 2.3.3 today, and it was fine until for 10 minutes ago, but now it's back, I tried calling my phone from another phone, but nothing came up other than the backlight, there's still sound and vibration, but no display picture. :S

Hi, I am new here, and have learned a lot through lurking.

I can't seem to make a back up, or even boot into recovery. Everything works fine, until I get a screen with a small cartoon of a phone, with an exclamation point inside of a triangle, and nothing happens until I take the battery out, and reboot.

I'm not sure what this is, do I need s=off?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
To make a backup, you need to be rooted, you need S-OFF, and you need ROM Manager to flash the Clockwork Recovery.

If you're going to do that, I also suggest you also manually flash Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.6, since it can flash both Froyo ROM's and Gingerbread ROMs. It's not exactly necessary, but it saves you the extra steps and makes your life mcuh easier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessek17:
I forgot to mention, I am permrooted, and have flashed clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 through ROM manager. I've had this problem before all of this.

I just want to flash CM7 and have gingerbread. I cant seem to understand exactly how to do this. I've been researching for a few weeks now, reading many guides and watching videos, but I always get stuck at this same screen.

EDIT: I have s=on. I just checked. thanks
[G Tablet General] adamfritzsche:
When I hit the physical home button, my G-Tab goes to the clock, like it is docked or something.

I have tried both the latest TnT Lite and VEGAn roms and they both do it.

Tnt seemed to only do it after a hard power down by holding the power button, or if the tab crashed and had to be rebooted. After a few minutes of the tab in standby, the home button would start working normal again.

VEGAn is pretty much doing the same thing, except it will do it after any reboot and takes a litter longer to start acting normal.

Any ideas what is going on here?

[G Tablet General] japhule:
would button remapper app fix it?
[G Tablet General] foobaz123:
Possibly. But the core issue seems to be that the dock state is backwards. If you look in the logs, you can see where it says DOCK = 1 (or some such) when you pull it off the dock, and DOCK = 0 when you put it on. If you never put it on, you're just stuck with DOCK = 0. Odd thing is it doesn't seem to impact everyone, just some. Very strange. :confused:
[G Tablet General] jlytle1234:
What happens when you go to the "Spare Parts" app that comes with Vegan? There is a property called "End button behavior". See if setting something there fixes it.

Nothing is selected or that action. Given there is no end button on these wouldn't that make sense? :(

What gives?
[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
Maybe you dont have HSPA+ in your area? Only guessing, btw.
[Atrix 4G General] devenk2c:
Att is having many issues with the atrix and inspire. They're working on these issues now.
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
You need a new sim cards as this is a 4g device. Might be the issue.
[Atrix 4G General] leadguy68:
Wrong. Any 3g ATT sim card will work, there is no technical differences. The only time moving forward you will need a newer simcard is for when LTE (real "4g") launches.
[Atrix 4G General] bmvik:
you have to have 4G sim card and also your account must be provisioned in the system with a new 4G feature code.

I work for ATT.
[Atrix 4G General] HarleyDude:
So do I and I can also confirm that was what I read on an internal training presentation on the new 4G phones, including the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] tbae2:
so essentially we will have to use the sim that is sent with the phone?
[Atrix 4G General] seanfinn:
You don't need a 4g sim, pop in the regular 3g sim...that's what I have in my inspire...getting hspa+
[Atrix 4G General] bmvik:
you must be getting a symbol with H+ and that is all.

for actual speed use new 4G SIM and get provisioned with new feature code by calling customer care or going in to the store.
[Atrix 4G General] nexusonemeover:
Spent 85 minutes on the phone with tier 2 support. They have no idea what's going on. We tried old sum and new... no luck. We changed options in *#*#4636#*#* with no luck. We reset to factory default with no luck.

Its stuck on EDGE. My account is provisioned for this phone with the correct data plan and its simply not working. They want me to go to a corporate store tomorrow and swap for another.

Any other ideas short of a swap?
[Atrix 4G General] King Shady:
no one is getting HSPA+, it's being backhauled until March. I don't know why it says we have H+ in the status bar though
[Atrix 4G General] zephxiii:
backhaul isn't just going to magically happen when march hits, it will happen as soon as the backhaul hits the site and is up and running, which is a never ending thing that has been going on for the past year or so.

EDIT: Oh and to the OP, more than likely something is wrong with the phone if other phones pick up 3g just fine.

But the best thing is, the ATRIX an the INSPIRE 4G will not be getting LTE HAHAHA AT&T FTW
