out of box, set up blur stuff and was at the home screen. tried to connect it to wireless and i couldnt press the wireless word to open options. noticed i couldnt do anything. couldnt pull down the menu, press the home button on bottom, etc etc. 2 min later the phone would move from screen to screen and get stuck 1/2 way in between 2 screens. google would then open and close and ask to delete history. blablabla

called AT&T and went to the store. because i am not a regular customer and my account is a business account and way too big, they did not have the options on their computer screen to do an exchange for me.

since i was waiting to speak to someone though, i noticed the phone was done with all its jittery stuff and acts normal. i am now very confused why this happened and thinking of calling in for a replacement anyways.

the only thing i have done is take the SIM card from my Droid X and put it in here because i did not receive one. is not getting one normal? is it ok to use the one from the DX?

thoughts?
[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
I had the same problem. I restarted the phone and I never had a again a problem. I guess the background syncing while activating the phone the first time leads to some lag and unresponsiveness.....
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
i am on the phone with AT&T right now ordering a replacement just in case. i am noticing this one is still weird after being on for over an hour. but you could be right and that was my initial thoughts. but being this is more than twice the speed of the Droid X and i never saw these lags.. kinda makes no sense.. so its a toss up
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
just now the Gallery froze up on me and then went to google.com (homepage i guess from me tapping the Home button)

not a good start to a new phone
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
here is a youtube of what im talking about

[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
OK That looks definitely like a broken phone. Do you have this problems mainly while charging? These was a reported problem I think with the Droid X too.
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
coming from the Droid X, i never once experienced this issue. on and off the charger it does the same thing. with or without the Droid X's 16gb Micro SD card. seems to happen when i touch the top of the screen and i can not press anything else to stop it other than just put it to sleep and not look at it.

my new one should be in by 1pm today here at my office and i HOPE it has no issues...
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
new one came in.. works like a charm.

now i can enjoy this phone finally!

Very interesting writeup here: http://smartphoneblogging.com/2010/09/nexus-one-slcd-vs-nexus-one-amoled-showdown-which-screen-technology-is-better/.

With a quick glance the displays perform almost identically. I have the SLCD Dinc and arguably it has better viewing characteristics. I'd still prefer an AMOLED Dinc though because I'm convinced you could squeeze a little more battery time out of it.

I'm using the stock facebook app. Is there a way to have the synchronized facebook pictures show when that person is calling you? Right now it only show their names. Only contacts where i manually added a picture show up when that person calls.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Click on your contacts and choose a contact. Hit the menu key at the bottom and select 'Mark as default'. At the top should be 'Caller ID', and the facebook picture for that contact you synced. hit the radio button next to the picture and save.

Voila!

Hope that helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerkai:
Thanks! Wish it did that automatically though, instead of me setting defaults for each contact by hand. :D

By any chance is there a way for the Incoming Call Picture to be bigger? For some reason it shows up quite a bit smaller than it actually is.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
using the STOCK fb Go to accounts and settings> Facebook> Sync contacts.

Sometimes there are 2 entries here because of facebook app. stock is better for contact syncing.

In phone Contacts press

Menu> Get Friends> Facebook> Choose all the freinds you want to sync with phone.

In phone contacts make sure first and last name are the same and they should sync. (most did for me).

For the ones that dont, long press a contact and select "Join Contact" and select from list you chose earlier, or some suggestions, or if you forgot some click get freinds.

A contact can be joined with upto 4 syncing profiles, 1 of which will always be phone, some of my contacts are joined to "phone, google, Windows Live, and Facebook"

other setting to play with:

Menu> More> Display >

only contacts with phones

scroll down to Facebook and CHECK contacts

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerkai:
Is there a way for the incoming/ outgoing call pictures to displayed bigger? I tried the full screen caller id app but it stretches the already small facebook synced pictures. Also the built in facebook sync(for the full screen app) is still broken.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
i had that issue the other day.

note: i have the facebook app TOO but dont sync contacts with it.

i use the default sns syncing because it has the little "F" logo. :)

anyways i fixed the problem with the default syncing by removing the "Facebook

APP"

settings from "Accounts and Sync". even though they were NOT set ON. and the other started working again. Re-started facebook app, re-log in, no syncing... ok DONE. worked for me at least

There's also SyncMyPix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerkai:
Does anyone know of a way to have a bigger and more high quality image to be used for the caller id? Currently the "full screen caller id" app can't sync with facebook properly, you would have to do each contact manually.

Would be an awesome feature in a ROM, lol

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathgod1:
Ok, so when I first got my nexus s I created a folder called ringtones and put all my music in there so I could use them as custom ringtones. When I launched the music widget it showed all the artist, songs, albums, playlists and recently added. Everything was cool, now it only shows the songs I recently added under recently added and doesn't show anything else. The songs, artists and albums tabs are blank. The songs are still there, they just don't show up in the music lists anymore. They also don't show up when I use rockplayer or winamp, so this maybe a settings issue? Any ideas?

Edit: Ok, I figured out what the deal was. I thought I read somewhere that in order to use songs as ringtones you had to create a folder in the root directory called ringtones, and place the songs in there. That isn't the case and actually doing that doesn't allow those songs to be "picked up" when the phone scans for media. I changed the folder name and voila, everything is as it should be.

[HTC Aria General] acimmarusti:
Hello everyone,

I recently got an HTC aria from AT&T.

After a few days I went ahead and rooted the phone.

At first I decided to try the liberated Aria (éclair) rom. It was a good experience. But just last night I decided to try another rom, so I went with Cyanogenmod 6.1.1.

While I was using liberated aria, I used rom manager to partition my sd card with the ext filesystem, so I could move some apps to it and open up some space from my phone's internal storage.

This space, while I never figured out how to move the apps, always showed in titanium backup.

With the move to Cyanogenmod 6.1.1, this partition doesn't show at all!, in fact my sd card is at 1.7 Gb!, it's like I lost an extra 0.25 Gb (which is the partition size I chose in rom manager before)... I tried partitioning in cyanogenmod with rom manager again, but then my sd card took another 0.25 Gb hit and went to 1.5 Gb!...

How do I get back to my 2Gb sdcard space? furthermore how I do partition the card such that I can extend my internal storage for apps?

Thanks

Andres
[HTC Aria General] L551:
I use gparted on linux to do that. I'm not sure what OS you use, but there are live cds you could use.

But on gparted, you should be able to see all the partitions on the card and manage them as necessary.

In order to use the ext partition, you should darktremor's app2sd. Ext3 is the filesystem you should use, but ext2 works as well I believe.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-4
[HTC Aria General] acimmarusti:
thanks, I use Debian Squeeze on desktop and testing on laptop.

I just got gparted, but it says my external storage is only 1.7 Gb!

Like I said...the extra 0.25 Gb is no longer being mounted with the sdcard and it somewhere lost in the filesystem and/or apportioned to some obscure directory...
[HTC Aria General] L551:
Hmmm... that is quite odd. I know some sd cards aren't actually what they state. My 8GB card only shows as 7.8GB for example.

Try formatting the whole card (Back up first!!) And see if it comes back somehow. I am not a sd card expert.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-4
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
thats what i'd recommend.

when you installed cm6, did you do a wipe data? did you notice if it said it was wiping the ext partition? i'd guess cm6 isn't noticing the space because it was partitioned separately from the rom install.

backup your important data, format the card, and try repartitioning it again now that you've got cm6 installed.
[HTC Aria General] acimmarusti:
well I'm not entirely sure why it worked this time, but I was able to fully format the card. Now I'm back to 2Gb (well, really 1.84 Gb, but that's right)

The problem I think was that I was formatting with Rom manager, and it was ignoring the extra unrecognized space. What I did different this time, is that I went into settings > sd card & storage > unmount sd card > format sd card > mount sd card > sucess!

So this successfully formatted the whole card.

Thanks for your pointers
[HTC Aria General] acimmarusti:
Unfortunately trying to partition it again failed.

I tried gparted and it successfully formatted a part of the card with the ext3 filesystem (while leaving the rest as unallocated -- at least this is what gparted said). Unfortunately when mounting the sd card on my phone it complained that the card had been damaged. So I had to reformat it, undoing the previous partitioning.

Then I tried rom manager again, but the way it works is by going into recovery and partitioning the card there. Unfortunately, clockworkmod recovery showed a warning sign ( triangle with an exclamation mark in it) above an android and froze there...I had to pull the battery out to reboot my phone.

I guess my oldish version of gparted (0.7.0) doesn't like the YAF filesystem (YAFFS). So perhaps when it partitions the card, it screws up the existing YAFFS partition. I'll try to use gparted again to partition the card fully, 256 Mb ext3 as extra app storage and the rest, I guess ext3 as well.

Andres
[HTC Aria General] acimmarusti:
I finally did get it to work on both R012 and FR008 (as well as CM6.1.1 and CM7)

I formatted the sdcard with gparted (chose a 512 Mb ext3 partition with 32 Mb Swap). Then from android's terminal emulator (as root) I typed

a2sd check

and it enabled apps2sd using darktremor just fine. It became aware of my ext3 partition.

Is anyone else having issues with battery life? My wife reported that she was at 70% when she went to take a nap and when she woke up (around an hour later) it was at 30%. I don't have it with me so I can't look up battery stats but I know wifi was off. Even if GPS was still on, you'd think that 40% of a giant battery wouldn't go by in an hour.

I just want to see if its worth investigating as faulty hardware or if there is a software issue involved. She did have meebo running which is a battery drain but even on my captivate with trillian running I don't lose battery like that!

mine's been off a charger for about 8.5 hours, and it's down to 20%. But it has been streaming pandora continuously for about 6 of those hours, so i'd say i'm doing pretty good.

[Atrix 4G General] perdurabo2:
Stop spreading misinformation.

The kernel (which handles all low-level I/O on the device) is compiled for multiple cores (hence the SMP tag, which stands for symmetrical multiprocessing, under About Phone, under Kernel Version).

On top of that, the Android SDK supports threads, which is in turn supported by the kernel and therefore spread across cores.
[Atrix 4G General] perdurabo2:
I'm suspicious that Motorola is using a bugged battery level scheme or calibration. I ran the battery down from 100% to 5% yesterday. When I got the 5% alert, it was still going strong afterwards for 30 minutes of continual use (downloading apps over wifi and configuring them, browsing the web, etc) after. I eventually got too tired to keep going and see how much longer it'd last.

My battery life is impressive. Yesterday off of the charger at 10am and I didn't charge overnight. When I woke up today it was still at 40%. I did a ton of downloading apps, setup, playing games and web browsing including flash videos. I played a 14 track cd from it when I went to bed, but I had it in airplane mode while sleeping. I use the apps for FB and Twitter instead of having Motoblur do everything. My brightness is over 3/4 too so I'm not handicapping the device for battery.

[Atrix 4G General] KryptosXLayer2:
Looks like someone needs to learn how to calibrate a battery instead of pointing fingers! Your battery and phone need some time to sync together - your phone thinks that with the battery installed PLUS the usage you're giving it, it SHOULD be down to X% when you read the meter. That isn't always the case, so give it a few days, use it all the way until it is dead like you were just trying to do and gave up, and charge it all the way up. Calibration!

From the thread where I was wondering what the hell happened to my phone overnight on the first night I got it, my USB hub wasn't powering it enough to actually charge the phone as needed, the phone was slap dead the next morning. I charged it completely (phone charges remarkably quick, BTW, plug the thing in to a wall outlet and watch the battery level climb rapidly, no joke) and have purposely kept it off the charger when driving - not using GPS - or throughout the days, and the phone has incredible battery life.

Here's the point.... and you know what, I'm not even going to spend anymore time typing it all out since someone so graciously already did. I remembered while typing that I've read something like this on XDA already and found it. Without further ado:
