[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
i think the problem is most apps aren't built for gingerbread features. and gingerbread has gyroscope support built in. when an app developer asks - basically - for the direction, android will either use 2 or 3 (compass, accellerometer and gyroscope - the gyroscope adds the smoothness) sensors depending on what api lever (android version) the app is built for.

so, make sure the app is built for 2.3? just throwing it out there. this would explain why google earth (that is shipped on the device) is incredibly nice and smooth (compared to earth on a desire). and, would explain why apps downloaded on the market are jerky too probably.
[Desire General] rs82uk:
Just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with HTC not honoring their warranty.

My Phone developed a fault a few months ago, where it would get hot and just reboot if it was plugged in. I eventually got round to sending it off and after 2 weeks it came back to the Vodafone shop with a message saying it was not repaired as it had been damaged. So I call the vodafone repair centre for more info and they told me that HTC had indicated that it had been water damaged, this really suprised me as the guys at the Vodafone store had checked the two visible tabs before they sent it out and the guys at Vodafone repair center had also checked for accidental damage before sending it to HTC and found nothing.

Since the phone has come back it is now rebooting all the time not just when charging and HTC won't do a thing the phone has never been in contact with water this is ridiculous the HTC warranty appears to be worth nothing.
[Desire General] th3:
HTC can tell if it's been user damaged in most cases, and if so, that doesn't qualify for warranty. Voda has no where near the same tools or understanding of the device. HTC can also call one of the chip manufacturers engineers in to ascertain failures for a second opinion.

[Desire General] rs82uk:
But it hasnt been water damaged, and if it had how could water have got into the internals without passing one of the two external indicators.
[Desire General] JellyXDA:
I had this exact fault on my phone too. I just called up my provider (Virgin Mobile) and they swapped it, no questions, no inspections, just a direct swap. It's definitely not a water-related issue, the motherboard itself is at fault. You only have to search the issue in Google to find many others with the same problem.
[Desire General] rs82uk:
Yep I am aware of this being a very common issue, and it would appear that most other networks are just replacing immediately due to it being such a common fault, not only have Vodafone not done this they are offering me the "REALLY GOOD DEAL" of paying backdated phone insurance of £95 to get a replacement desire, sorry but as this issue is so common and if it was happen again, I dont want to have to pay cough up another chunk of cash, so if I have to pay out I think I should be able to get a different handset.
[Desire General] quicksite:
I'm having the exact problem, and it's specifically HTC AMERICA that is the problem. They are like a rogue nation, not even respecting their corporations own customer legal agreements.

Please see my thread here to read my conversation excerpt with Customer Service and tell me if it sounds anything like the kind of treatment you got. If so, we need to start a list, and I promise you, I am going to swing hard.

I have history. Long story but MacWorld, Wired, others covered it: I organized about 20 nations to pressure Apple back when they had their G4 desktop MDD which made excessive noise to issue replacement power supply units to every owner across the world, for free -- and it was the first time ever in the history of Apple where they issued a product replacement without their being a formal recall. And all of this without one lawyer or lawsuit. I'm just saying....

But it took cooperation, and complete documentation, and there was no way they could win. And I am tired of putting up with this bull**** from HTC AMERICA. They are pond scum who do nothing. HTC China are the brains and design geniuses who built and maintain an amazing company. HTC AMERICA is out to KILL IT.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Get insurance next time.
[Desire General] quicksite:
I did... or thought I did. And made an unfortunate mistake. My last 2 phones I bought insurance through great company called "Square Trade"... Had a warranty problem with -- of all people -- HTC America -- on a 2 week old HTC Hero, and, long story short, Square Trade paid out fully in 48 hours, after a month of hassles with HTC America. (They require you go thru warranty first)

I bought it for the HTC DESIRE, but missed the fine print.... They only cover phones bought in USA... and this was bought from UK vendor... so, even though they accepted the payment, I submitted the proof of purchase, etc, they informed me when I went to try to file insurance claim here "hmm, says you bought this frm UK vendor" "yes i did"

"insurance is void"

So, for that I am technically at fault, but when i went back and checked, it was pretty small print -- and what threw me was, the HTC HERO which was covered by them and paid out by them, was also bought from UK, but it was bought via a USA vendor who imported it... hah hah. So, in any case, it just didn't occur to me that there was a restriction, but i was wrong.

Having said all that, I'm curious:

I always find it odd when people reply as you did. Do you really find that helpful when you are on the receiving end of something equivalent to:

WELL YOU'RE SCREWED THIS TIME, YOU SHOULDA DONE THIS IDIOT.

??

I for one never find it helpful. But, uh, thanks for your typing time.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Nerevarine:
Hey guys,

i just got the multimedia dock for my stone2 and was wondering if there is some kind of app or something for the following:

if i dock the stone wlan should switch on

some kind of remote access so i can see on my pc when someone calls or i get a new txt message.

I'm new to Android so if there is some obvious app around sorry, i searched but with no conclusions :(
[Milestone 2 Accessories] frenetico:
I don't think that there's an app for automatically switching on wifi, when the dock-app opens. But in order to remote control your device via wifi and PC, you've to be rooted. With the app "Webkey" - available in market - you can access the phone with your browser on the PC.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] philhgw:
perhaps you could realize the whole thing with the app "dock awake" ($ 2,99). (sorry, but as "newbie" i can not post a link. please search the market.) it automatically adjusts your settings when you dock your phone, e.g. switch on/off bluetooth and wifi or change the call mode (auto speakerphone/headset). you can also launch another program.

the more adjustable way is "tasker" (£3.99). but because of the mass of settings it's more difficult.

i'm also not a developer, but i used both programs with my stone. i definitely prefer tasker. it's more than just a possibility to turn on wifi ;)
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Szadzik:
For WiFi you can use Tasker, Setting Profiles and a dozen other profiling apps.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] MegaBubbletea:
Where can I get the dock in Australia?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] lambstone:
The dock is friggin useless. It came free with my milestone 2 and its basically a glorified charger.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] MegaBubbletea:
WHAT! Came with ur M2~! :eek: Envy...
[Milestone 2 Accessories] nininhocovre:
Agreed. Mine is just to charge the phone.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] lambstone:
Haha yeah, I got it free on the $49 cap with voda a week ago. The reception and service is decent enough in adelaide. I got free dock and 1st 12 months half price with it.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] MegaBubbletea:
Argh, **. That's just ** great. Got mine from Optus shop in Brisbane CBD.

I want a dock!!! :(
[Milestone 2 Accessories] agent008my:
if u go to clove.co.uk im sure u can pick up a few for 25 pounds (ard AUD$50 if my math is right). however for an even better deal u can check out ebay. u can get brand new docks for around USD$15-20.

however do be advised, like what the others have said, it is a glorified charger, and a really pretty alarm clock. but for 20 bucks, why not?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] crazyteknohed:
Got mine off Play.com for £18 delivered. Using the latest Tune In Pro I can wake up to BBC Radio 4 using my phone, making the Milestone 2 with dock the sexiest looking alarm clock.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Izzysoft:
To the original question: I set mine up to automatically disable the screen lock and switch on wifi when docked, and keep the lights on when additionally to that the power cable is plugged in. Makes a nice night watch next to my bed (and of course I used Tasker to do the described stuff).

But now I've got a question on the dock desktop app opening automatically. On the lefthand side, it links to the alarm (amongst others). But that's the default alarm clock I don't use. I found no way to replace that with some other app (for me: AlarmDroid). Does anyone know how to do that?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] dangpzanco:
Try DockAwake (it's paid... used to be free) or something similar from Market, or Alarm Clock Plus.

Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Izzysoft:
Yepp, thanx -- Alarm Clock Plus seems to be the one I'm looking for. Will give that one a try. Features look quite similar to those I use with AlarmDroid, so it seems to be a decent replace...
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Heyallo:
For anyone else wondering, you can also get the dock online in Australia from Unique Mobile's website (since I haven't made 8 posts, I can't post a link to the product)
[Milestone 2 Accessories] Izzysoft:
Tried Alarm Clock Plus. Kicked it off again after 10min. Did not find the announced Weather+Time stuff, as hard as I searched for. So I rather stay with AlarmDroid. As I cannot integrate that there either, the entire app makes no sense.

Removing it was tricky: First I could not find it at all. It does not show as "Alarm Clock Plus", but as "Uhr" ("Clock"). Unfortunately, "U" is much further down from "A" than "C" is, so it took me a while to realize...

So I'm still stuck with the original question: Is there a way to change the app launched when tapping the AlarmClock icon?
[Milestone 2 Accessories] dangpzanco:
You just need the Weather and News stock app (i unfrozed it just to show you):

[Milestone 2 Accessories] Izzysoft:
Sorry, I was not precise enough. I didn't mean the stuff for display (that worked), but the "talking clock" stuff I'm used to with AlarmDroid. Instead of simply "ringing", it wakes me with TTS telling me time, weather etc.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] kyngoflyonz:
I just purchased my dock not too long ago and would have to disagree with it being "a glorified charger." It makes a great alarm clock, and picture frame which I use it for. But to each his own, I guess. The original milestone dock also works with the MS2, so you can save some money and just purchase the original dock.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] 0rangeHands:
I agree the dock is more than just a charger
[Milestone 2 Accessories] renatohs:
Thank you!
[Milestone 2 Accessories] bernardotraad:
My phone just came with a dock too, but for me is pretty useless. It's on the box since I bought it, didn't use it.
[Milestone 2 Accessories] crazyteknohed:
I just installed CM9 and although it is a wonderful ROM, the multimedia functions of the dock are all gone. Is there any kind of app to bring these features back?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codywolf12:
Hey everyone,

I have searched around a few threads to no avail and I am having some frustrating problems. So let me get into them and I really hope some of you brains around here can help me out.

First my problems are:

- No GPS at all it will not connect to anything just says "searching for gps"

- Slow data with a strong connection. This is my main problem I will have full bars on HSPA and if I run a speedtest I will test around 350-500kbs down. But lets say for example I go to twit.tv and download a mp3 podcast from them it will honestly download at around 5kbs. If there is any type of direct download its almost as if the connection chocks and dies.

Relevant system configuration:

- Desire Z / HTC Vision original from HTC

- CM 6.1 Stable

- Radio Image: 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27 (newest)

- T-Mobile United States (Southern California)

What I tried:

- For the gps I tried using gps toolbox and downloading and clearing the gps data this worked on my nexus one when I ran CM and the gps did not work. This had no effect on the G2.

- For the download speed I tried updating my radio. I had the latest t-mobile ota and I updated to 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27 also no avail.

My questions:

1) How do I fix my GPS. I use gps all the time on my nexus one and now since I switched to the g2 and it is not working I feel completely lost.

2)How do I receive faster direct download speeds. This is honestly ridiculous that I can not download an mp3 file or any file for that matter at the speeds I am testing at. I didn't switch from at&t to a company that I feel is slowing my downloads some how.

thanks for your help,

Cody W.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
Take it to T-mobile. Had the same problem with my G2 when I first got it. My SIM card that I had put into my G2 was around 3 years old - they gave me a new SIM card, I registered it, and wa-la! Data speeds were much quicker.

Not sure what's wrong with your GPS. May be a manufacturing defect. Show the guys at the store that it doesn't work, and they'll hook you up with a new G2 - my G2's screen wouldn't turn on one time, and the T-mobile guys got me a new one for free.

I make T-mobile sound really awesome - they aren't always - but in these two cases T-mobile was extraordinarily helpful.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethbring:
Any body else severely disappointed in the camera on the Evo? I'm by all means not new to it (had it since August), so its not an epiphany. I think its just finally hit me how bad this camera is. During the day, or with natural lighting (outside shots mostly), yes, it looks absolutely wonderful. But thats where it ends. Anywhere else, its grainy and pixelated. And thats unacceptable to me with the way they were advertising how good the camera is. I know 8mp is no way to measure the resolution, but I've tweaked the settings about every way I can, and I still can not get a good picture unless its a natural setting.

As far as the video recording goes, its even worse. Its supposed to shoot 720p. Which is something I should be able to plug into my tv and look nice. It doesnt even look good on my phone. Again, its grainy and pixelated in non-natural conditions. And the sound quality is absolutely horrible. Mumbled and garbled. Are there any settings for the sound that could make that better? Ive noticed if I kick down the resolution a notch or two, i get better quality. But I should have to. So, im just curious about your opinions of the camera. Have you made it as good as its supposed to be? Or are you just another disappointed customer?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bc910:
Either I am just, in no way a "videophile" or something is wrong with your phone. Mine seems to work fine...

Probably my low standards though. I mean it is a phone afterall.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I had the iphone 4 before the evo, and I have to say, the iphone 4 has a camera that is so much better than the evo it isn't funny. So yes the evo camera is terrible. HTC went for higher MP vs Quality. It is like comparing a point and shoot to a DSLR

I have a 1970 Chevelle Malibu that I am selling and I originally took pictures of it with my iphone and they look spectacular. I then took pictures with my evo after getting it, and there is no way I'd use those pictures to advertise my car.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Truth and the camera app doesn't help neitheir , iPhone camera rocks tho
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethbring:
yeah. i saw multiple comparisons on various websites between the EVO and iPhone 4 and the iPhone is hands down, better. The colors are more vibrant and crisp. And the video quality and sound makes the evo look like a flip phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
I found if I turn off the auto focus, my pictures are much better. That said, I think the iphone still beats the Evo camera :(

Hello All

I've helped a few people on here and am now in need of help myself.

I am slowly getting my phone to look like Froyo AOSP.

Vibrant guys have this mastered but over here its not a big deal.

The part I'm suck on is getting Black text in notification bar.

If anyone knows how to do this I can upload my framework and service.jar.

Dont have time on me but give this a shot :

get apk manager

Take framework-res.apk

Decompile it

Look inside res/layout/

All the status_bar files will give you what you want (start with status_bar.xml)

Modify its color value, its in hex.

Select recompile

Say yes to system, say yes to keep

Only delete resources.arsc

Then push unsigned framework res to phone.

Those instructions work fine. Only thing different is you have to look for

const/4 v7, -0x1

in StatusBarIcon.smali

and replace with

const/high16 v7, -0x100

All previous instructions follow.

If you get latest apk manager (still in testing), link

It does jar's as well. So here are exact steps i did. If ur unable to do them then i will do them for you but id like u 2 learn :)

Download that.

Extract it. Run Script.bat

It'll say an update is found let it do its thing.

Put services.jar in modding folder

select it

decompile it

Do the modification i said in previous post

Choose the heap option in the script and set it to 512

Recompile

Then just push .jar to appropriate folder.

Done.
