[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
You'll need root access to delete the bloatware, but it's relatively easy. You can use grankin's s=off root script visionary method (which can easy be reverted with the PD15IMG.zip file) in the resource bible and then delete what you don't want. I've deleted a massive amount of apps, more than any guide I've seen, with no side effects. The positive of rooting the phone is that you can install CW recovery and backup your phone before making changes, so even if you delete something important you can restore and not lose data.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enculturation:
Thanks! I know that someone (cyan?) used to publish a list of applications that were safe to remove. If I remember correctly it was a list of applications and all of their dependencies. Is there anything like this for the 4G?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
I just google searched at first, found one on androidforums. Then I just got experimental and started deleting anything I didn't use. As long as you keep that backup it takes about 5 minutes to get yourself back to a working state after making a mistake. I never did, kept it simple and only deleted things I recognized and had a market replacement for or never opened.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enculturation:
Cool that works for me!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Perrignon:
Correct me if I'm wrong (of course you will), but simply rooting the phone and deleting the apps doesn't actually do anything. Its more of hiding the app from the menu. To truly get rid of the bloatware, you need to install another ROM.

I've rooted the phone once, deleted apps, unrooted and sure enough those apps were back.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
You are correct. if you do not turn s=off you are only hiding those applications v. deleting from the memory bank of the phone. If you turn s=off you can truly delete them w/o worrying about them returning.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Perrignon:
Without having to install another ROM?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enculturation:
I believe that, that's what happens when you attempt to delete apps with S-ON; they'll 're appear' after a reboot.

You need S-OFF for true write access. You don't need a custom rom to delete apps with S-OFF, because you've got true access to your device. You can delete whatever you want with S-OFF. That's my understanding anyway.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyldkard:
once you root your phone, you can uninstall all the bloatware you want with titanium backup

"Cannot retrieve the notifications. Please try again later. (Connection reset by peer)"

When I open up my Facebook app, whether I'm using the latest version or an earlier version, I can't grab my notifications. Not even talking about push notifications. No notifications whatseoever. Anyone have any idea?

Thanks

Michael
[Legend General] el.dizzee:
This seems to be happening on most android phones with the facebook app, but usually only while using it with mobile data, on wifi it works just fine. I think this is an issue with the app itself and nothing to do with the phone. You can try instead to use the app flow for facebook, it works better than the official app.
[Legend General] coltspackers:
Thanks for your quick response bro.

Yeah that's kindof what I'd been guessing. When you say app flow, do you mean the HTC friend stream, or an actual app called app flow?

Thanks
[Legend General] el.dizzee:
Haha my bad, guess that's kinda unclear. There's an app in the market called "Flow for Facebook", it's a fair bit more useful than facebook's official app.
[Legend General] coltspackers:
Ok thanks for the advice man, i'll give it a try!
[Legend General] Off-Kilter:
Yeah I have been having the same problem, Facebook needs to fix this asap, its a huge problem if its affecting some many phones. You would think they would have noticed and fixed it by now....
[Legend General] coltspackers:
My guess would be that they already have an update almost ready, and are waiting to fix this bug until they release the update (which should be sometime soon). Hopefully this is something we can look forward to.
[Legend General] coltspackers:
Update confirmed, now at least notifications work over both wifi and 3g. Still think push notifications are broken.
[Legend General] nm131:
try go at the facebook app setting tick everything except the phone LED

It works for me^^
[Thunderbolt General] martyotaku:
If they havent announced it today....theres no way its coming the 10th atleast thats what i think!! Im giving it till the 10th then im gonna wait for something else.

While this may be true

This is nothing but another hourly BB employee talking out of his ass or repeating what someone else pulled out of their collective asses.

At this point, asking a store rep, BB/Verizon/Amazon/Wirefly/etc..., about a phone that hasn't been announced yet and believing the information you get is foolish.
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
i said take it with a grain of salt lol never said i believed it lol and for the record i went to a verizon store asking about the data plan ,,, when he said froyo was newer than gingerbread, and had to look it up ,, i was near bb so i went into there to ask them about it,, and we just talked from there
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:

[Thunderbolt General] ipsomatic:
nice value add! (not that i really have one either) but... i can add something

I am stuck with my company being generous to give me whatever device I want, but has to be verizon, so this is what i need to wait for.... glad my boss isnt being a **** about it taking so long to release....

fingers crossed for Thursday!
[Thunderbolt General] milan03:
It looks like it'll be out on the 16th or 17th of March according to their TV ads, and this newspaper ad that's been out for at least two weeks right in front of our eyes.
[Thunderbolt General] 06ms6:
No wonder it was delayed if the left side of the phones came out all dented like that from manufacturing!
[Thunderbolt General] milan03:
Haha I took that pic of the magazine ad. Sorry about it. It's also visible in the tv commercials.

here is a better shot:

[Thunderbolt General] animez:
I agree 100%. Between the fact that there was no announcement today and the IPad2 dropping the 11th, I don't think there's any way we'll see it this week.
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
i got flamed for posting this but this is what a guy who works in the phone department said at bb today ,, they will know after 12 on wednesday if it will be released on thursday ,, he said that is the time that ups shows up ,,, said the normal shipment comes on a truck on wednesday ,, said if it comes then it would be released on a tuesday ,, hope i dont get flamed again lol ,,not sayin this week but days to look for he says the phone would come out on
[Thunderbolt General] animez:
I hope you're right, but I would be very suprised to see it this week.

VZW promises an LTE phone by the first half of the year. I won't mention what phone(s) will be first.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
knowing HTC they like to be the "first" with everything so it will be the Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
There was another ad out that showed the phone w/another date on it ... but it didn't come out on that date either :)

~ah patience = winning~ :D
[Thunderbolt General] milan03:
That other ad was "Tuesday, November 16". I'm pretty sure no one expects the phone out in 10 months.
[Thunderbolt General] contractkilla:
Tuesday, November 16 was back in 2010, so the phone has secretly been out since November but verizon is hiding it from everyone:cool:
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
No it was a Jan or Feb date, I think it may have been 2/14 .... will look for it and see if I can find it to link to.
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
just got word chimp ,, verizon is waiting til my bday for the tb release ,, to bad it isnt til july lmfao j/k:D

[Thunderbolt General] rckymtnrfc:
Fingers are crossed for an official announcement from VZ today. The Xoom was officially announced on Tuesday and released on Thursday....so there could still be a chance...however slim.

[Thunderbolt General] Haxcid:
At this point who cares when the blunderbolt is coming. Now it's a wait for all the more powerful LTE phones set to arrive in the next 60 days.

I am surprised HTC let them screw this release. Dumped for the iPhone4 and iPad2 releases. Marketed and released properly it could have easily sold 2x the iPhones.
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
Well uncross ur fingers lol. As vince would say.from.the wwf... no chance in hell lol
[Thunderbolt General] mad5427:
I completely agree. I've been waiting patiently for this and now it's just getting silly. I have three friends who were all ready to go out and buy this but have all reconsidered. We all agreed that since we've waited this long, why not wait a little longer and have a few options. We all might end up getting this phone, but it will be after at least the bionic comes out.

HTC must be really really pissed. Golden opportunity wasted. Not only will has this delay pissed off a lot of people, it has seems to have made a lot of people decide to wait now for either the other other LTE 4G phones or even for an iPhone 5 if it comes out this summer.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I've been waiting sorta-patiently, lol. Personally, I'd rather see them wait and release the phone when everything is working correctly with it - too many rumors to pin down the truth, but, what if it IS a battery or hardware issue? I wouldn't want them to release a phone before it's ready - and it's still not late, lol, it's still the 1st Q of this year. I think Best Buy deserves our scorn for the whole pre-order debacle and getting our hopes up a wee bit too soon it seems.

If it's delayed because VZ wants to change it's pricing or because Apple told them to wait (and they listened?) then that's just sad.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
lol, now whose following who ? :p ;)
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
Thanks, I thought so.
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
Now verizon just said it will be out by the end of q2. Wtf???
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
Where does it say that? If that's so then F*** Verizon
[Thunderbolt General] CaliTilt:
I read on ZDnet last night that the Verizon CTO, Tony Melone, stated yesterday at the Credit Suisse’s Convergence conference that LTE phones "by the end of second quarter."

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/veriz...rough-lte-smartphone-issues/45789?tag=nl.e019

Looks like we will have a long wait.
[Thunderbolt General] THATTON:
I give up. I have my Xoom for all of my modding needs with Android and I am just going to get the damn iPhone for Apps and a reliable phone. I am not waiting any longer. Returned my X because the camera BLOWS and was really looking forward to the TB. Oh well. I am able to upgrade every 3 months anyways...
[Thunderbolt General] rckymtnrfc:
Well then I'm jumping ship....I can get TMob's 3gish service for no additional monthly fees.....and I can get it today (service and phone).

It was nice doing business with you VZ but your services and phones aren't cutting it for me anymore.
[Thunderbolt General] lootnplunder:
Damn...We've been waiting forever for this thing :( My biggest issue here is I was holding out for 4g pricing and we don't even know what that will be. And if I don't get another phone I won't be locked into unlimited 3g before they decide to take that away this summer. So what the hell is a fella to do? iCrap? I guess atleast we get netflix and some pretty cool games if we go that route... But damn I hate iTunes and no widgets/notification bar really blows. haha this sucks so hard all I can do is laugh
[Thunderbolt General] Haxcid:
As of August 8th I have upgrades on all 3 of my lines. My line has been up since August 2009. I have nothing but time. I was considering an iPhone to hold me over but I find the iPhone the phone kind of ass backwards and I don't like iTunes. Maybe I will wait Q3 begins and I can just take my pick from what ever rocks then.

To bad all other providers suck in my area or I would switch and I am finding Vzw's slow release to be very annoying.
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
I don't think it will really take until summer because there was the pre-orders, dummy units etc...
[Thunderbolt General] animez:
2nd quarter starts April 1st. Yeah it sucks, but his statement doesn't mean end of June automatically. My NE2 isn't till May so this could be a blessing in disguise for me.

Personally I would rather they give us a 4G toggle widget through the marketplace and release the phone. Battery life is just fine on 3G according to a guy posting at droidforums.net who's been using a demo unit for almost a week.
[Thunderbolt General] Philosophre:
I don't know how reliable an iphone on verizon is compared to at&t, but if it is the same then that isn't promising.
[Thunderbolt General] Dante_l1:
Based on this ad the delay is due to the malfunctioning weather widget in sense. Las Vegas mostly sunny with thunderclouds and rain pictured.
[Thunderbolt General] zalez:
Uumm the thunderclouds and rain is the wallpaper LOL. My ex who is a district manager for a verizon retail chain said all her emails say end of March for release. , so again, another rumor to add.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
lol, too funny
[Thunderbolt General] eikoo:
Don't expect it before the end of April. The software still incomplete. Plus the hand-off issues have still not been resolved(will never be due to hardware, phuedo fix en route). Even with the cuts they want to launch the phone with other 4G phones to lessen the impact.
[Thunderbolt General] Haxcid:
...

My best friend called me this morning, he manages a verizon store, told me to come over and he would sell me one a day early.

[Nook Color General] lyam23:
So, I've tried using the ad-hoc enabled wpa_supplicant file to allow my NC to see my Droid as a hotspot. My NC can now see my Droid and can attempt to access it (even asking for password), but it fails to connect everytime.

Anyone else successfully tether their NC to a Droid 1?
[Nook Color General] eNkrypt:
I use the motorola droid 1 and I connect it using Wireless Tether App. Works fine. Other than the annoying problem that when the nook sleeps it drops the wifi. But that is a known issue.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Hmm, not sure what I've done wrong. I can see the Droid SSID in my list of wireless networks. I can try to connect and get "Obtaining IP address" for about 30 seconds, then see a connect failed message. The logs in Wireless Tether on the Droid indicate successful communication with no indication of failure.
[Nook Color General] mg00000:
Question to you Lyam23

Hi there. So you successfully added your supplicant file. Did you follow Root Explorer as the way to accomplish this?

I tried it and now there's no Wifi at all. I'm awaiting a reply on the thread for performing the ad-hoc, but replacing and renaming the WPA files did something to mess me up. (I did something to mess me up) ( ;

Resolved : the folder was my fail. Had to rename the wpa folder, then move the adhoc fix version of the file outside of it....direct into bin.
[Nook Color General] vlucchetti:
Are you able to tether to a PC? That way we rule out that you can or cannot tether.

Did you set the permissions in the new file correctly?

I successfully tethered a Samsung Fascinate to the NC, two different NC's by the way. Process works.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
I was able to tether to a laptop a couple of months ago. I'll try again later today. I've probably changed ROMs on my Droid 1 since then.

Permissions are correct.

I'm sure it does work for everyone except me. That's why I'm frustrated!

EDIT: Must be my Droid. I can no longer connect via laptop.

EIDT2: switched to CM7 and all works now!
[Nook Color General] marriott001:
Is there a good tutorial for the Root Explorer way of doing this?

I've followed the directions on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868354 but for whatever reason, even though I can visually see the files in the right spots, and the commands all run properly, I can't see the Ad Hoc connection from my Droid 1.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
I know the OP said their problem was fixed, but I thought I'd still post this.

I found out that some ROM's and/or kernals broke Access Control and disabling it on your droid will allow you to tether again. You can still use security, just not access control.

Don't stare directly into the sun - you'll go blind

Don't smoke under water

My power button is completely flat, if not even recessed slightly. It still works without a problem, but it seems like its worse than it used to be.

Debating whether I want to return it, as I'm rooted and have the phone set up exactly as I like it.

Anyone else hate the power button?
[HTC Inspire 4G] PrimozR:
If you're rooted you can always back the phone up, return it to stock ROM, return it, root the phone, you get back (either yours or the new one) and restore your backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
I know. I want to go look at the phones that the store has and see if it's the same.

[HTC Inspire 4G] 2udCrRAZdK:
I found it difficult also, but I bought an otterbox case and it covers the buttons with a raised piece of rubber that actually works out a lot better for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tdesbien31:
Its a known problem that every HTC Inspire/Desire HD experiences. I got a case (Casemate Pop) and the rubber button on the case makes it easier to press.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wraithevolution:
My Case Mate has a rubber cover that helps me too. You may also consider the app "nolock" It bypasses your lock screen unfortunately but it will allow you to use your volume buttons to unlock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
I have one of those cases, makes it a little too bulky. I'm using a barely there case that doesn't cover the power button.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
I might try that. Paired with lock screen widget, I'd never have to use the power button.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I hate it as well. I'm currently using Widgetlocker, which allows me to wake with the volume rockers as well. I try to alternate what I use to wake the device (3 options). HTC, for some reason, chooses to make all their power buttons like this. It's the reason why I returned my Tilt II back in the day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Aridon:
One of the case mate or otter box cases can fix the issue. Its hard to say by just the picture but your button might be slightly more depressed. Check store units for comparison.
[Xoom General] BlazinGTI:
What I'm looking for is this:

Currently I connect my laptop to my TV via VGA and control what I want to watch with the Logitech Air Mouse app on my iPhone. A pretty great solution.

Now with the Xoom I want to take advantage of the HDMI hook up. However I don't want to stand up and walk over to the tablet to pause or change the TV show.

I know I can use DLNA to stream video to my 360. My concern is video quality.

So is there another option that exists? Might be a cool app idea (throwing it out there).
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
So far as I know nothing like that exists. My guess is a rooting solution will come up with a way to remotely control the entire device. However, with VLC being developed for android it might be possible to use VLC on the Xoom and connect via your phone or PC using a VLC remote. That seems like a good solution to me.
[Xoom General] BlazinGTI:
I did a little research. Apparently a Galaxy S can be paired to a Bluetooth mouse? Not certain in what capacity though.

Ideas?
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
It may work but Galaxy S has touchwiz so that feature may be built on top of android rather than baked into android.
[Xoom General] BlazinGTI:
Really doubt that touchwiz is the reason for bluetooth mouse connectivity. Unless there's something I'm missing and there's a reason based on fact that you're making that assumption.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
I found a forum answer to your original question

http://androidforums.com/xoom-accessories/289604-bluetooth-mouse.html

and its been known that manufacturer's heavily modify the bluetooth stack on android devices which is why I suggested touchwiz might be the reason it works. For example you cannot connect your wiimote to a lot of HTC sense devices since they have modified the bluetooth stack. Similarly I thought samsung may have added that feature since I haven't seen it as a common feature on most stock Android phones.
[Xoom General] BlazinGTI:

[General Questions and Answers] Detafewa:
Hey

So I've got two questions concerning Custom ROMs.

1) How can Custom ROMs, eg. "[ROM][New Sense][06 Mar]RCMixHD v3.4[...]" include HTC Sense in it? I thought Sense was closed source and developed only by HTC.

2) Where can you find what Android versions these Custom Sense ROMs are using? Take this already mentioned "RCS MixHD" for example. It doesn't seem to be stated in the opening post what Android is it based on. I suppose it's 2.2.x since Sense hasn't yet been converted for 2.3.x, right?
