[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaleel5000:
hi, i have experienced this problem 2~3 times .

The problem:

My touch pro 2 freezes, and then doesnt even turn off .I talk out battery, put it in, and start it,[without holding any key] it shows the first screen holds there for along time, automatically restarts again.Then the phone turns 'on' but all software installed, messages, contacts are wiped clean.all shortcuts, wifi ,phone settings too.its like a hard reset

It has happened 2-3 times, and I am unable to replicate the situation when it happened.Once during call it happened, other while browsing

'ROM I was Using? Jackos manilla rush and smart movie.

Note:after this resetting the phone works without a problem.until after few weeks it again happens.

Whats the problem?
[Xoom General] gogol:
Hi,

Is there any apps or solution that can be used to make video calls which work across multiple platforms?

For example, making video calls from Xoom to iPad2 and vice versa :)

That would be awesome.

Soon I will get Honeycomb tablet (either Xoom or Samsung) and my wife will get iPad2. It would be nice if we can video calls between each other.
[Xoom General] Kas206:
Try Fring from the Android market. I successfully made calls from HTC desire to the iPhone 4.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
I use Fring and Tango all the time with the wife and her iPhone4. Though I wish IOS supported gchat video. That seems to work so much better.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
Hi can someone here test if you see a red violet spot on screen when pressing a little harder in the bottom corner of the screen right above the search button. It only does it in that corner more visible on a white screen for me and not anywhere else. So I'm just wondering if this is normal.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikeor:
I see no spot on mine... just tried it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
It's just like when you touch a regular pc lcd monitor, you have to press right above the search button where the off starts.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
Can you try it on the Google page or on a white backround?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:

Violet spot is there

[HD2 General] calvinjohnson:
I have 2 HD2 1 to learn with and the other for daily use, I had 1of the screens just stop responding to touch it looked perfect, I tried everything I could find on-line nothing worked! called HTC got a RMA autho sent it and before I could check on the status it was back the new screen seems a little different and from the all that i have read and I mean hours it is an issue with some of the devices. make sure to revert back to stock if you've made any mod's at all before sending it back to HTC....

Hey guys,

I've had a search through these forums, as well as many other sites, and I couldn't find the set of live wallpapers that comes with HTC Sense (in particular, I want the one called "Sense"). Do you know if there is a version that will work with CM7?

Thanks,

-Mike
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
Yeah, there is a flashable version for 2.2 and 2.3 in the Nexus One themes and apps section.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mikedoherty:
Thanks. I could only find older versions that wouldn't load onto my device. The .zip at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722203 does seem to install properly, but the wallpaper doesn't appear when I reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
It doesn't work...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Sleepracer:
Sense walls are awesome
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
They added a GB version on the same thread. Look around. Its there, plain as day...

Mount system first... can't you all read simple directions?! They say so on the first post... sheesh!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mikedoherty:
Actually, it is reported not to work with CM7 nightlies. I've attached a log file for them, so hopefully this can be fixed in the near future. Thanks for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Aha...thats what i did
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
The Gingerbread versions worked great for me on CM7 RC2. I had to mount the System partition in Recovery before flashing (as stated in the thread), but then it showed up in the LWP list.

Thanks to sino8r for pointing us in the right direction. I like and missed this LWP.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mikedoherty:
I should make clear - I did get it to install and appear in the live wallpaper list by mounting /system before installing the zip. However, the wallpaper crashes, with the log attached in the other thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sino8r:
And you're using CM7 RC2, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] lainvalenajr:
Yup
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
Has anyone else switched to quick controls in honeycomb's browser, by going to settings->Labs? It gives you all the menu items in a semi-circle at your finger too just from swiping along the edge of the screen. I have since day one and am not gng back! I haven't seen anyone comment on this awesome, somewhat hidden, feature, so I thought I would attempt to bring it to everyines attention. :-)

in fact I love it so much I wish it was integrated throughout the rest if the os. I often find myself swiping the side of the screen attempting to use the back button or whatever else. Then sadly I realize I am not in the browser and begrudgingly reach down to the bottom left corner...

If you guys have tried it let me know what you think. If you havn't, give it a whirl and post back :-)
[Xoom General] xious1:
I tried it, but couldn't get it in to it. You have to swipe very close to the edge of the screen, so the popup wouldn't appear several times because I wasn't swiping close enough to the edge. It seems like it would be good, but it needs a little work. Maybe they've fixed it or there are some settings that I didn't look at.

[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I have never had it not register...perhaps you're doing it wrong.

Simply move your finger from the bezel to the screen on the left or right sides of screen, like you are pulling the menu out. Move your finger to the option you want and release.

[Xoom General] Droid4All:
I often catch myself swiping when using a 3rd party browser. Long pressing a page brings focus back to the tab as well so its the best of both worlds.

It does however confuse others when they want to check out my Xoom haha.
[Xoom General] dino325:
Yeah I love this option as well.. Took me a little while to figure it out as well.. Make sure your swiping closed to the middle as well because otherwise all the options wont be visible.
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
Yeah, honestly, my only complaint is that it registers sometimes when I am trying to click a link near the edge of the screen. But doesn't happen very often and a precise touch or quick zoom remidies this.
[Xoom General] keitht:
It is a nice option but I do not like the fact that it hides all of the other controls that are much easier to simply tap with one touch. I realize that it adds more screen real estate but it just doesn't seem easier to use to me. Maybe it is just me.
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
Agree... would be nice if this was done by toggle so you could have both if you want.

Greedy users we are.
[Xoom General] el_bori1:
Didn't know about this but I really like it.
[Xoom General] BunLengthHotDog:
The only thing I would like added is a "close tab" button. To anyone having issues activating the option wheel, you don't just touch the edge of the touchscreen...you start with your finger off the screen on the bezel and drag it on from the side.
[Xoom General] nonstop14:
I love it too. At first it seemed a little flakey but the more I use it the more it's become second nature.
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Agreed... its bad ass. I too, find myself trying to do it all the time on the xda app. Hint Hint XDA...
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Thanks would never have seen this
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
The first time I saw it (my brother actually found it), I didn't want it because I thought it would be too complicated (at least for the misses).

Now, its been fully embraced by everyone that touches my xoom
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
how do you switch tabs while using it?
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
When there are multiple tabs open, they appear across the top just like before. To get another tab use the + (plus) sign. :-)
[Xoom General] scout7:
There are different controls in others corners. This seems to make the browser faster. Thanks for the tip...

[Xoom General] f1restarter:
BTW you don't even have to swipe your finger to bring up the menu. Just touch the edge of the screen and it will appear. :)
[Xoom General] Otterjasie:
Just started using this...but how do I close the browser if I only have one tab? Without QC you can close all tabs by hitting the 'x' on them and the next time you open your browser it will open on the homepage.

With QC enabled I can exit out of the browser by going to the homescreen but when I open the browser I still see the page I was on before.

Any ideas?
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
I always use quick controls, the one thing that bugs me is the, lack of close for a single tab. I hit back to exit but it doesn't, I come back and my tab is still there.

Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
Wow I thought the browser looked clean before this... now it's much more simple and looks a whole lot more clean, thanks!

Edit: it's true I can't close the first tab, this needs to be fixed. Still is nice though.

[Xoom General] drahyrt:
Love it, stock browser is awesome, just next wish is fix for uastring (w/o workaeound) wifi. Only patch is almost there, but causing additional probs atm
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
Yeah the wifi only patch is buggy as all hell, multi touch in input methods is broken, it breaks orientation from going upside down. It really needs a lot of work.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] Johnnybee:
to close the first tab, just touch and hold on the page.
[Xoom General] microbespecialty:
Best info yet!! Well, at least regarding the browser. The fact that I couldn't close the last tab has been the only reason why I wasn't using the quick control feature.
[Xoom General] je2345:
Yea I loved the quick controls feature when I play with my xoom. I just bought the BlackBerry playbook the other day and haven't put it down since. Poor xoom sitting there collecting dust. Playbook has the best browser!
[Xoom General] Athenon87:
I don't have to swipe, I just touch the edge. I don't seem to have any problem most of the time. Thanks for the tip, though!
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
Yeah this kind of ruins the whole purpose of it I guess, still thanks and by the way once you press and hold to get the tabs, only way to get rid of it is to make a new tab and close that new tab.

Seriously the PlayBoo looks great but just way too plain for me, I like modding and hacking, can't wait for next Google update to fix the browser, then I won't have this little bit of envy.

Hello all

ive had a good read at alot of resources, but cant seem to find one answer, so here it goes...

i have a new 16gb class 10 card.

whats best way to partition the card?

ok ok i no it all depends on how much space i want for apps and music etc, but as a basic...

lets assume with a 16gb you get full 16gb, (when really it will be 15gb)

so would this be best way to have it partitioned for my desire,

12gb FAT32, 4GB ext4 , 0swap ??

more info - aim to be always using Oxygen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_be9300:
what do you plan to use the EXT4 partition for? I'm total noob, but been reading a lot. One of the recurring recommendations (app2sd, data2sd) seems to be to use max 2GB EXT partition for stability.

(but perhaps you know better ;) )

I partitioned my 8GB card the other day using the soft (MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition) recommended here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning

Most people seem to recommend Gparted as the ultimate partition manager, but then you need Linux or a LiveCD, and I was too tired to make one of those.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
4GB ext for what? lol

1GB is more than enough, and 2 - only you manage to fill up, if you download the whole market :D

And also some scripts do not support ext partition > 2gb.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raster77:
As already said, 1GB for ext4 is far enough ! Swap is not very usefull.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uafridi_1179:
Use gparted method...very easy n very safe.....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahaznada:
I use EASEUS Partition Master Professional Edition, with this you can create ext3.

In recovery you can convert ext3 to ext4 or you can partrition sd card only ext2 and ext3 and then convert ext2 to ext3 or ext3 to ext4.

For me easeus works great and easy to use.:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olly230:
I've been moving my Apps to SD as often as possible and I have been running with about 24mb of free internal space.

Now Google+ is here and it wont go to SD I have 11MB and that annoying low space icon is sat in my notification bar taunting me.

Does this partitioning thing trick the phone into using the SDcard as if it were internal memory?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] do0b:
i'd use AmonRA to partition it. no need to fiddle with gparted. everything is done internally.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
That all depends on what ROM u are running.. I use CM7 and a little app from market called s2e which moves all apps to partition

Other ROMs like GingerBurst use app2sd+ or data+ which do basically the same thing but built into the ROM

If you're using standard android app2sd u will always run out of space in no time
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Oh and yes the partitioning tricks the handset into thinking the SD ext is internal storage with app2sd+ etc
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMrB:
I think the best way is with the magic seach button :) just use one of the MANY guides
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I agree. Search gparted and you will find step by step instructions. Follow them and its simple.

Hi Guys!

I am using the Elelinux_Special_Edition_2.2.1_Final updated 2010-12-13 on my HTC Hero. And I like it a lot! Many thanks! But I have some problem there:

I have just bought the launcherPro Plus. Trying it right now. I have a question though, the answer for which I cannot find myself. Please help!

I am struggling to find the contact groups! I have a lot of contacts and some of them I do not keep in my memory. For example I have a lot of contacts (which i would have put in the group "work"), the people whom I don't memorise because being a sound engineer I am working with these people once a month (sometimes more sometimes less). So, when I need to call one of these people, I would like to go to the "work" group of contacts and then there have a look at what I have and find the needed person there. Likewise I need some more groups which I will use the same way.

BUT...

I cannot find how to create a group! I know they exist because when I go to preferences (of my gmail account for example) there are things like: System group: Friends, System group: Family, etc.... But there is no tab in contacts screen. Also I don't find out how to assing an existing contact to a certain group.

Somebody knows how to do all that? Please help!

Thanks!

hi,

i have a white desire, unlocked/unbranded from factory (that is no network locks ect), from the hboot menu i have this,

BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

im sure that the last line means relitivly little, however i tried to root using unrevoked, and it did not work, so after some searching, i found the issue due to the usb connecting while rooting, after sorting that out all went well, it told me it had finished, and went into hte clockwork mod recovery screen. i rebooted the phone at this point, without doing a backup (thinking iu could do this later), now when i enter the reovery menu, it lists all the options and this txt

clockworkmod recoveryv2.5.0.7

E:can't find MISC:

E:can't find mount CACHE:recovery/command

E:can't find MISC

E:can't mount CACHE:recovery/log

E:can't find MISC

no matter what option i select i just get a black screen.

now i have found out this is due to me having the 40,000 erase size, the problem im facing is i have root access, i have tried this with titanium backup, and it functions as should, but i don't appear to have a recovery screen that works, i have tried to re-use unrevoked with teh ra.2.0.0 recovery image. but it came back with an error that it cant access the root.

so how can i get a functioning root, and recovery from where i am at present, i have a working phone so at least it didnt brick it.

p.s. how do i do a screen capture, as on the samsung galaxy s its back and home key
[Desire General] ghosty_uk:
ok guys i have fixed it,

i flashed back the stock ruu.exe file, then ran unrevoked again, with teh alpharev version of the recovery file, now i have a fully working folluy rooted phone, now jusat got to sort out all the data i wiped,:P after putting a custom rom, just got to decide what now :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I just got an email from a dev from "zune social", about a review I gave a game.

It wasn't a good review, but it wasn't mean-spirited or anything. Just sort of a "blah, not too good". But I got a message from the dev asking for more input to help the game, etc.

Kinda brings it all home, your reviews aren't anonymous.

(the odd thing is, it came to my old hotmail that I used to have associated with my xbox live account. I've since switched to my main hotmail account, but the message went to the old one.)
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
I sent a review to li'messenger too and they surprisingly responded with some fantastic news regarding the next iteration they will release!

It surely isn't anonymous but good thing its not
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
I guess that must be stated in the t&c's somewhere.

Not sure how I feel about that.

Sent from my fingers to your face...
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
This may be unpopular to say but sometimes I wish the net was a little less anonymous. People hide behind the anonymity to be the biggest jerks they can be.

But then stalking would be at an all time high. Watching sure haven't type on the computer :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Dear Nicksti, you piece of sh- Oh! Hello there!

(for the record I wasn't rude in my review, just didn't like the game)
[Windows Phone 7 General] cyclical:
Did it come directly from the developer? or was it sent from him via some microsoft channel? I can see this as beneficial to developers as they can get direct feedback on possible improvements.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ioulian:
http://wp7reviews.tomverhoeff.com/ < This site let the developers track the reviews for their apps. That way they can easely find your e-mail.

I think it's a good thing that devs are able to communicate with the user (not really via an official way). That way devs can make the games and apps better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vHatch:
The lack of anonymity also makes it a little more obvious when a dev pumps his own reviews. I've seen one dev give his own review a 5 twice while giving a competing app a negative review.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Whoever said your reviews were anonymous? I never read that anywhere. And like myself, most people would not give much weight to a review whose author does not want to be identified.

That being said, instead of a "yikes", you should be glad that the developer cares enough about their product to contact you and get additional feedback. I've had that happen numerous times (through my Zune Social inbox), and i'm more than happy to provide additional feedback and help these devs out.

They don't have access to your e-mail address though, they only see what your Zune tag is (which is the same as your Xbox Live account), and your Zune Tag has its own social component and messaging system. People can send you a message through your Zune Tag. So these emails are simply notifications for you to check your Zune Social for messages and such (and you can do this through Zune.net, or through the Zune software).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
The Yikes was more of a surprised yikes. And yes I know they're not contacting you directly. Just kinda came out of left field.
[Windows Phone 7 General] keyboardP:
As prjkthack mentioned, developers don't necessarily see your email addresses, only your Zune tag. When using the Zune software, people can message each other via the Zune tag and so that's probably what the developer did.

I've seen quite a few people write reviews on apps, including mine, that contained incorrect information. There's no real way to write a response to the reviewer in a way which other people can see (unless you write your own review, but even then, it'll only show in your country's marketplace). Using the Zune tag, it's possible to let them know of any inaccuracies and hopefully they'll re-review the app.
