You can't skip it, but I did notice it is an added security feature.

Anytime you swap out SIM cards, it will ask for your email and password on bootup. You phone is basically unusable until you enter the info correctly.

That's all Android phones from what I understand. I know my Craptivate wouldn't open any Google apps without providing credentials, but the rest of the onboard memory and such was still accessible.

You could just give it an email address that doesn't exist, and set a password you'll never remember. For the record, I didn't like having to register a motoblur account either.

hi guys.

i found if you press the menu touch button on the motoblur set up screen it gives you the option to skip setup.

any one else agree??!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandodistinto:
That's on Bell Atrix, AFAIK. You must do the key sequence on AT&T's Atrix.

[Captivate General] thehyecircus:
I hate TouchWiz. I hate it with a passion. All I want in a ROM is stock Android, stability, and nice upgrades, like the camera that works below 15%.

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Perception and Cognition are both very similar, just Cog is based on Rogers Captivate.

Cog 4 is about to be released by DG.
[Captivate General] sremick:
Except that you sacrifice HSUPA and Bluetooth voice dialing. Not the case with Perception.

I'm in the same boat, trying to decide what to use next to stay current. :(
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Cog is based on 2.2, and not 2.2.1, so it lacks certain things, such as HSUPA+ and voice dialing. Also, Perception is the only ROM I know of with the lock screen chooser and integrated music player/ glass lock. Every other ROM uses the AOSP lock screen, which I hate.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Oh yeah, I forgot Cog 3 didn't have HSUPA. Talk about a difference when I flashed Supernova.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
To be honest I'm not even sure I (or we) need to stay current. I'm still using Perception 10.2, because 10.3 and 10.4 didn't do anything but update apps and kernel, which I've already done myself. The ROM as-is is stable, with no major bugs, and everything works as far as I am aware.
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Serendipity.
[Captivate General] dingokevin:
Supernova JS5
[Captivate General] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
well it all depends on what you want. if you want a solid build with great performance then any of adam's roms (supernova, phoenix, firefly (started by adam)) would be a great choice. cognition would also be a good choice. just look around in the dev section and find one you like.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
If you are looking for a stock themed fast rom on 2.2.1 try dags newest. Has stock theme option ousting chinese i19088 which is a basic identical twin to the captivate
[Captivate General] H3llstorm:
+1

Frenquent incremental updates (no need to re-start from scratch each time); clean, consistent UI; great stability, performance & battery life, etc.

Seriously, I can't imagine using another ROM.
[Captivate General] hauj0bb:
Second this.

Last year I was flashing new roms every day until I found Serendipity.
[Captivate General] ih4ckback:
You should go give my ROM a try. No touchwiz, HSUPA, small, quick, and stable. Search "xMerk" in development.
[Captivate General] geokilla:
I had HSUPA with Cognition. However I didn't have BT calling. Other ROMs such as FireFly are built on Rogers Froyo as well and it seems to have both HSUPA and BT calling.

Remember, both HSUPA and BT calling depends on the modem and kernel.
[Captivate General] upNsmokeAllDay:

Hello everyone,

I updated my HTC Notes widget (by clicking 'Get more HTC widgets') and am facing a very annoying problem now. The bottom half of the Notes widget is now compressed abnormally. It is as though the widget is meant for a phone with higher resolution and HTC have mistakenly uploaded it for Wildfire. I tried uninstalling it and installing it again, but to my vain, it still doesn't work properly!

Could anyone of you please upload the old Notes widget here?

I searched the forum for the same, but only found the widget for Desire (which, on having tried, does not work on my phone).

Thanks.

[Xoom General] Low023:
I realize that you are not getting a subsidized tablet here (if you pay full retail) but I was wondering if the month to month will still ding your credit and will they require a "deposit" to complete the activation process.

This is my only worry and I have yet to see anyone ask that so if anyone is familiar please let me know.

[edit] Well after calling around 5 Verizon Wireless stores I have come to the consensus that if you have bad credit and no existing phone line through Verizon that you will more then likely have to pay some sort of deposit for the month to month activation. They quoted me prices of $120-$400 for deposit if you have bad credit.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
I was under the impression that the month to month plans didn't require any sort of credit check. I'm not willing to give that kind of information for something that I intend to immediately cancel within minutes. This is going to be interesting to see what happens.
[Xoom General] Low023:
From the information I was able to get they will ding your credit even just for month to month just to make the Verizon account, one representative even told me that you will get billed for the month and activation fee and will not be able to pre pay. That really sucks for some of us. I still plan on getting one but this brings up more expense on a already expensive purchase.

You may want to call were you plan on purchasing it and asking.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
i will let you know what happens as i have bad credit also. i ordered through wirefly and they have to authorize a credit check through verizon. That will probably start today or tomorrow. If i pass then im sure you will too.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
What if you plan to pay for the Xoom and all data fees through Debit? They can't possibly NEED your credit, I don't even own a credit card!
[Xoom General] setite:
They still do. It's crap but they do. I suppose because they are risking you using minutes/data before any bill comes to you since they are a post-paid service. That is the problem, even with month-to-month data plans its post-paid. That way, instead of cutting you off like they should if you go over your data allotment, they can start racking up the charges.

I am on hold right now with Verizon, I am going to see if I can get the credit check done ahead of time like I did when I bought the HTC EVO. The guy just said there is no credit check on unsubsidized, but after I asked if you he was sure for the third time he had a revelation, said "oh ****, hold on". I am now holding on to see.

And so you know, even without credit card you still have a credit score :).

EDIT: Yes there is a credit check if you buy unsubsidized. He said they have some "new conditions" or something new and that I would be "pleasantly surprised". Unfortunately, unlike Sprint, they have no pre-qualification. I am now calling Best Buy and hoping they will do it for me. I refuse to show up to pick up a 800$ tablet only to be told I have to pay between 100$ and 400$ for 1 month of a data plan I DON'T WANT.

I have been fine up to this point, but I am now getting ready to throttle someone.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Hopefully you don't need a 750 score to buy an overpriced device with a $20 one month plan.
[Xoom General] Low023:
Well if it's of any relief there is a Wirefly Video of this up showing the activation process and the ability to skip it entirely to use WiFi only!!!! It's at the end of the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieK1tWYZWGI

I still think they are going to require activation, I hope that this allows for some wiggle room though.
[Xoom General] setite:
It's all bull anyway. With sprint.. for the evo.. I had to do like 5 credit checks, it was weird it kept not saving. Each credit check said congratulations.. 150$ security deposit. For no apparent reason, the last time when I actually was calling to activate I was approved with NO security deposit. I wanted to say huh.. but I just kept quite and sure enough, my bill didn't have a security deposit on it :). If they want a security deposit, I will demand a discount equal to the security deposit + a subsidy :).

Having to pay a security deposit on 20$ worth of data.. frakkin toasters.
[Xoom General] feron:
Depends on how many times you tried in a short amount of time.

Retailers are by law only allowed to send one credit check hit in a certain duration.

Systems I have worked on just finally balks at repeated requests during said time frame and will let the user on through with a flag for a rep to check up on it later - beats a lawsuit for ruining someone's credit further.

My 2 cents worth anyhow..
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
I am irritated by this whole process. You can't even addit to your existing VZ account. They are unnecessarily running a credit check. In this day and age you have to limit how many times your records are accessed.

All that being said, when I worked for Verizon landline, the credit check was to make sure you were who you said you were and that you didn't owe them money.

I will be curios as to how you make out. Has there been any feedback from people who have bought other tabs?
[Xoom General] socomdark:
For those worried about a credit check and you have bad credit, I just passed mine so I dont think you guys have anything to worry about.
[Xoom General] unknown_owner:
Just stopped into a Best buy and a manager told me that the $799 xoom would not require a credit check. I guess YMMV
[Xoom General] djunio:
I just failed the credit check, 400 deposit at costco :-(
[Xoom General] setite:
Call back and see if they got the memo from Verizon not forcing people to activate full price xooms.
[Xoom General] setite:
Wow. Your credit must be rock rock bottom to require the maximum deposit. What did you do!
[Xoom General] socomdark:
oh **** man sorry to hear that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Willuz:
I use a Ram Mount Aquabox on my motorcycle and it mostly works awesome. It may be a bit large for a bicycle but it has excellent shock absorption and the touch screen still works in the box. Unfortunately, the system keys at the bottom do not work so you can't use Home / Back / Search and you also can't hit the power button so you can only use apps that prevent sleep like GPS. However, you could drive through a monsoon on your bike while still using the touchscreen on your phone.

I'm too new to post links but you can google Ram Aqua Box and go to the medium not the medium wide.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
which size did you buy?

http://www.ram-mount.com/Products/AquaBoxMounts/tabid/125/Default.aspx

they have many different sizes, but there are no reference guide which size will fit our phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Willuz:
The medium size fits perfectly. I have also seen some FAQ's about making a hand crank charger for your phone and this could easily be converted into a bike charger if you don't mind the extra drag.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
there's no problem for the charging part, there are several good wheel hubs that will do the same, my favorite is the shimano hub it produces electricity easily and with almost no drag compared to the other brands

[Fascinate General] dricacho:
So lately, when copying a large file into the SDcard, the copy halts halfway thru causing Windows to freeze. I'm usually able to TURN OFF the USB storage but at times, it won't turn off until I reboot Windows. This is happening more frequently causing the SDCard to no longer mount into Windows. Right now I can get it to mount by rebooting Windows. But I think this might get worse. So I'm thinking maybe the SDcard file system is starting to get corrupted. I do have a backup of all the files in it. What I like to know is if there is a tool similar to Windows CHKDSK, that can be used to check the SDCard. I'm not sure if running CHKDSK on it will ruin the filesystem in it. Any suggestions?
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
The filesystem on the SDcard is just fat32, so you can run the normal windows tools on it. If there's a problem with the sdcard itself, though, they might not be able to help.
[Fascinate General] dricacho:
Is it normal for it to take a couple of hours to run chkdsk? I tried running it and it moved two bars only after 20 minutes.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Most card readers are obscenely slow, and are even worse at sustained read/writes... so if it's a 32gb that seems fairly reasonable amount of time, and even if it's only 16.
[Fascinate General] dricacho:
Ok thanks.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
Don't matter at all.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
that's not entirely correct, many root apps like titanium backup require busybox to function... I would say to definitely install busybox and superuser so you can adjust permissions, otherwise there are many root programs you can't use
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonesoulja:
thanks i installed the latest busybox and titanium backup pro. quick question though. since i just backed up everything with TBP would i need to make a backup through xrecovery before flashing? or what? and also what is your opinion on the best new rom to use on a x10 with the 2.1.A.0.435 build? thanks for all replies! =]
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
yes titanium only backs up apps s that you can put everything back on when you flash a new rom, xrecovery takes an image of how your phone is before you flash a new rom, in case you either have problems and have to go back, or in case you just don't like it.

I think the best rom personally is freex10 beta 4...

Are you already on baseband .54? You can check in settings> about>....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonesoulja:
yes my phone settings are on the top post. thanks for the tip! guess i'll give that rom a spin and see how it is. this community is great it saved me from regretting choosing this phone knowing the arc comes out 3 months after i buy this one lol.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
The arc isn't much better, it is basically the same phone repackaged...

Save your hard earned dollar for a real upgrade. I did basically the same thing, but I don't regret it one bit. The x10 is an awesome phone, but my next phone will be a bigger step up than the arc, neo or play that's for sure.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonesoulja:

[Droid X General] rfederici:
Hey everyone; it wouldn't let me post in the development subforum due to the fact that I just joined, but I figured my topic would be just as relevant here.

I'm a sophomore CompSci major. Java is my strong point, but I'm far from a master. I know syntax, I know how to follow what's going on in more advanced programs, but writing them is the tough part. Anyway, I would like to create my first app; something simple. I was thinking a calculator with a small clipboard on the side (hold the button to store the number displayed in the window, hit it to place that value). It would be insanely helpful for my physics class.

So a few questions for you guys:

-Is there anything I should know beforehand? Anything to be careful of?

-Can I use Eclipse? I tried with App Inventor, and it's too limited.

-How do I obtain examples of more complex apps? Can I unpackage the apk files into java classes?

-Is there a site similar to the sun library, where it lists the available classes/objects/imports?

I'm sorry if I don't know the lingo just yet (of Droid or Java). Picking this all up is a little difficult for me, but I'm trying :)

Thank you in advance for even taking the time to read this. I understand rookies must aggravate you guys, but from what I've seen, the community has been nothing but welcoming!
[Droid X General] meshdub:
You can definitely use Android SDK with Eclipse.

This guide will help you with install and set up process

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

SDK also contains sample projects that you can use for learning.

I don't remember about unpackaging apk files, but I'm pretty sure they contain already compiled .class files, which will be of no use to you.

And here's Android's reference page:

http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html

Also the dev guide is very useful for learning the basics:

http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html

Resources section has useful tutorials as well!

Hope that helps. Good luck with your app!
[Droid X General] rfederici:
Thank you, meshdub! And all branching from the same site; sure made me look bad...but on the upside, you've introduced me to a source I will be able to use throughout my software development lifetime.

If there's any more you or anyone else could give me as far as what to expect or look out for, please let me know! I'm honestly a little intimidated by this; I'm not too familiar with forums, and I've heard how difficult app developing can be.

But this should keep me occupied for a while, and again, thank you very much :)
