I tried restoring a widget that i removed, and that worked, so maybe the phone.apk is installed after i pushed it to /system/app, but something else is wrong.

What could be the problem? Missing data or something, which i need to restore somehow?

Isn't there a way to reflash the device with original rom?

Any ideas?

I downloaded the Global System.zip from this forum. I successfully went to the android recovery menu on the phone. I can choose to update the phone using System.zip on sdcard.

Is that the way to go?

Hi,

Which is the best app to password protect my sms and other apps. and where can I download it from.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
Doesn't a screenlock do the job?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
Use Handcent SMS it will do the job for you...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pra.agar:
@ hawks the screenlock does the purpose but I can't stop ppl from using my mobile but if I hv a sms lock atleast I can prevent them from sneaking in.

Does any have any app that can help me password protect my sms. And as well not degrade the performance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
If that's the case try handcent as sphuyal recommended
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pra.agar:
@hawk handcent is a entire new sms app. I want the same messaging app but once someone tries to open it he need to enter the password b4 proceeding. I have tried ( as I REM zdbox ) one but it slows down my DHD performance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge1234:
Handcent also enables a sms lock for the standard Message app from HTC. (and it probably does this for every app that can acces text messages)

When you want to open the standard message app with handcent installed (and a lock enabled), you will have to unlock it as well.

So you can just install it and disable notifications in handcent, so you won't notice handcent is installed and use it only for the lock system.

Hi Guys,

I had the atrix last week and I was going to paint the back cover (professionally). But I now have the galaxy s 4g, so I want to paint these instead.

I would like to know what colors do YOU think our phones would look great in?

I don't want to do 2 tones because the price would be higher.

I'm going to try to charge $18.00 for the labor with paint and clear coats and shipping included.

I'm thinking if I get enough interest I'm going to buy some covers ahead of time. This was you can just tell me the color you want and either pay for the cover or send your own.

If you decide you want to keep the cover, I will charge you for the cover than refund you the money once I have received your cover.

For now I just want to see which is the most popular color. Than I ill paint mine and post pictures.

Hope to hear from you guys.

Btw, the clear coat I will be using is TOP notch quality. It's really thick and shines very nice!

It will help hold the phone better as it wont be as slippery. And with a different color, the phone will look really nice.

I'm having an issue with the built in text app and default keyboard, there's no 'Return' key...it's been replaced by a stupid smiley face key.

I can try another app or another keyboard, but there should be a way on the default to skip to a new line in my text message.

I do like the Handcent messaging app though and may be switching to that anyway...

Am I missing it somewhere???
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Seems to be a combination of the Text Messaging app and the default multi-touch and Swype keyboards. Thumb Keyboard does not do this and shows you the return key.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
if you use the search feature, somebody did upload the bootloader.img for 2.3.3

as a last resort, you can download the 2.3.3 stock ROM. extract it and find bootloader.img and flash it via fastboot

edit: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11661588&postcount=2596

download bootloader.7z

extract

get bootloader.img

put it in ur /sdk/tools/ folder (yes you have to have the android SDK set up for 2.3.X)

select "reboot bootloader" and you should see the new version of the bootloader

old bootloader:

bootloader I9020XXJK1

new bootloader:

bootloader I9020XXKA3

Currently my bootloader is unlocked. If I flash another bootloader, will it remain unlocked? or it will be locked and I would have to unlock it again?

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Flo95:
Hello guys,

I'm using LauncherPro Plus since a long time now, but since a few days I have some problems with it.

Today I had a lot of FCs in the morning, fixed that (almost) with new memory usage settings.

And very often I get the "Problem while loading widget" error, which is quite annoying. I have to restart LauncherPro or delete the widget and place it again. The new memory usage settings did make it much better, but the problem still exists.

I even had FCs with 102MB free RAM, so it isn't RAM related.

My dalvik heapsize is 26MB, wasn't better with 32MB...

My memory usage settings are:

Memory usage preset:

Medium

Only clicked "Use homescreen caches" on the page

Homescreen cache type: Compressed

Other settings:

Elastic scrolling on, 3D drawer on

My screen configuration:

Can someone help me to fix these things?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord Takyon:
Fwiw compressed cache caused me bad lag issues the last time I used LPP.

Compressing or decompressing anything will need system resources.

Might be worth a shot.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Flo95:
Since yesterday evening it's stable again, but before I could use normal instead of compressed.

I have to use compressed, otherwise it gets unstable and I get the "problem loading widget" thing again :(

I know that many people are annoyed by the atrix supporting few fingers for multitouch. I know firsthand that many emulated games are impossible to play without 3 fingers. I also know that the atrix hardware wise supports up to 10 fingers.

This is probably too challenging to fix (if it was easy, one of you devs would probably have fixed it) but I will ask anyway.

Is there any feasible method you guys can come up with to get this thing doing more than 2 touches?

Perhaps this method would work?

Where'd you find 10 points? That would be amazing. Also, if it truly supports 10 touch points, why in the heck would Moto limit it to two?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
Yes, I'm pretty sure this is more on the hardware side...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
Your iFixit link says "The front panel houses an Atmel mXT224 touchscreen controller underneath the LCD connector. It's the same chip we've found on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nexus S, and HTC Evo 4G." It's known that the Nexus S/Galaxy S phones can register up to 5 individual touch inputs. I have a nexus S myself and can confirm this.

This is a header used by a kernel-level driver. This would require a kernel recompile = modified kernel, which currently isn't possible to use with a signed bootloader.

So no. This method won't work.* :(

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethpenn:
I had a Galaxy S as well... the atmel website says only single or two points though. Are we sure this is the same in the Galaxy S phones?

What he said ^^.

My Galaxy S had 5-point touch. I don't think Apple has some exclusive patent for 10 point screens. Not sure though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techcruncher:
Anybody else confirm?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corneliusm:
Motorola and Apple are currently locked in litigation. They're suing each other for patent infringement. HTC is in the same boat.

Samsung and Apple are current bedfellows- Samsung supplies lots of parts for Apple, and have more than likely entered into a cross-licensing agreement. Hence, Samsung can implement 5 point multitouch and not get bit by Apple.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethpenn:
Very interesting. Thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techcruncher:
get this.

When you connect the atrix to use as a "mouse" in webtop, (anyone who has the hack for HDMi webtop knows what I mean) it has a three finger gesture to pull down the notification bar or something.

This singlehandedly proves, this has nothing to do with patents, hardware, or anyhting

Motorola just felt like it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrooms90:
Galaxy S even supports 10 points by hardware limit. The driver was just limited to 5 points (doesnt make sense to put 10 fingers on that little screen). And afaik nexus s should have the same touch sensor.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corneliusm:
I have used the webtop "mouse" and have no idea what you're referring to.

No one is arguing that the hardware is limited to 2 points. The touch driver has a hardcoded limit. You can verify this by either using one of the multitouch test apps (Dotty, etc) or by coding your own and debug incoming touch events (MotionEvent.getPointerCount() will never exceed 2).

This means there was an arbitrary reason why Motorola did this. What reason could this be...

Performance? Yeah, 10 touches never brought the Galaxy S to a crawl, and the Atrix has beefier specs. Unlikely reason.

Incompatibility with MotoBlur? Possible but unlikely- code that supports 1 or 2 touches will simply ignore events with pointer IDs beyond 1 or 2.

Not useful? Unlikely- there are plenty of games and apps that support more than 2 touches. Personally, I find the lack of more than 2 points frustrating when using a SNES emulator.

Besides the Apple multitouch patent feud, what other reasons are there for Motorola to cripple a flagship device?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techcruncher:
"it definitely has capability for more than 2, and to test this, go into webtop mode (either via multimedia dock or the webtop mod hack) and click the Phone window. Slide three fingers down - it brings down the notification panel. One just moves the mouse and two is used for scrolling."
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blind_Guardian:
That's not an accurate test. I can slide three fingers down and it will bring the notification panel down without being in webtop. You can slide 4 fingers and the same thing will happen, because the phone will only register two.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:

It says "10 concurrent touches" right up top under Features > maXTouch Touchscreen
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techcruncher:
This is the point. The Hardware supports 10. I don't think most XDA members care about patents, so is there any way to hack this think to use all 10?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpOoNeeUs:
I don't use web top so I can't test this out for myself but I think techcruncher is saying that in web top there is a special gesture involving 3 discrete simultaneous touch inputs that will pull the notification bar down, ie, touching the screen in three separate places and just swyping all 3 down. Do it with 2 and you'll scroll. And 1 will only move the mouse. So it's capable of more than 2 simultaneous touchscreen inputs, and is able to differentiate between 1, 2, and 3 separate points of contact on the screen. That is assuming my interpretation of techcruncher's post is correct.

Hey guys-

I had been using TouchDown Exchange to access my work email. When I first got android I asked my IT department if they could set it up for me but they replied that they "don't support Android, and because there are so many different android phones, they probably wouldn't ever support". Anyways, I found I could use the web-exchange server (http://xxx.xxxxxxxx.com/exchange/) as my domain on the android app and it would end up sync'ing my email to my phone.

I guess they eventually found out I was doing this somehow and they blocked it. They do support the iPhone, though, and through a coworker I was able to get the server and domain that they use.

Is there anyway I can trick the server into thinking I'm using an iPhone so it will allow me to connect and sync? I tried using the "ActiveSync Device String" and setting it to "iPhone" before connecting to the server, but that didn't work. I don't know much about exchange servers if you couldn't tell, but is there a way they can authorize only certain users to connect? Could I potentially borrow my girlfriends iphone, have them set it up on her device, and then once I get the login permissions, switch the info over to my fascinate?

Sorry to any IT administrators out there, I bet this post will annoy you haha. I just want to have email on my phone because I hate walking into work in the morning and getting blindsided by an email that was sent to me at 2am.

Thanks in advance for your help guys.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlgorithmX:
Our IT department also has a "no android" policy but I figured out that if I left the Domain blank and used the Webmail url as the Exchange server address everything would sync perfectly. I started out using Touchdown but dropped it for the stock email client.
