    Root Wireless Tethering help, running KaosFroyo

    I am running KaosFroyo and having trouble getting the Wireless Tether to work with my iPad. I can start the tether just fine, and the iPad sees it, and I can connect to it using the password I set, but then whenever I try to do something it tells me I have no internet connection. I know it can...

    Root Need Help! Custom boot animation w/ sound?

    So I pretty much have the custom boot animations figured out... It seems to work whether I put bootanimation.zip in /data/local or /system/media no problem... but the one thing I can't figure out is how to get a sound to play. I've tried every combination I can think of... boot.mp3 in the zip...

    Root Can you do a Nandroid backup to new phone?

    If you do a Nandroid backup, then save the file from your SD card... can you use that same file to do a Nandroid Restore on a new replacement Eris? Seems like that should work, but I just want to make sure it's not phone-dependent... Thanks :D

    Root Does rooting fix silent bug and/or 50% bug?

    I didn't have any problems on 1.5, but I had both of these issues after the 2.1 OTA update. However, ever since rooting my phone, I haven't had either one of these bugs happen (knock on wood). Is this just a coincidence? Or is this something that was actually able to be fixed?

    Root Apps2sd shortens life of SD card?

    I've seen this mentioned a few times now, but how significant is it really? I can't really seem to find much about it... I'm using Apps2sd right now and I love how much extra space it gives me. I also don't notice any slowdown when running apps (at least so far). Of course I'll be getting...

    Looking for a specific clock widget...

    ...does anyone know if there is a clock widget that looks exactly like the clock on the standard Android unlock screen? (the screen with the sliding tabs) I love the look of that clock and I'd like to have it on my home screen :D

    Root White Widow - Proximity Sensor not working in-call

    Anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Not being able to bring the screen back up during a call pretty much makes it impossible to call any automated line, or even delete voicemail messages... I really love this ROM but this particular issue is causing me quite a headache :(

    Root Installing HTC stock keyboard on non-Sense ROM?

    I've been trying to search around but I'm not coming up with anything... Is this possible to do? I miss being able to long-press a key to get its "shift" key (numbers, symbols, etc) instead of having to press the 123 key to switch layouts every time. I also liked how the "click" sound wasn't...

    Root Help! Just a couple questions about Sense app substitutes for non-Sense ROMs

    I am using White Widow for now, and the only Sense widget I miss is the Calendar. Music and Photo Album were okay, but not necessary. However, the Calendar widget was very convenient. Is there anything comparable to this? Next, my biggest complaint about non-Sense (ha) ROMs is the lack of...

    After 2.1 OTA update, all HTC widgets are gone

    I searched a bunch of threads and I can't seem to find the answer to this... Just did the OTA on my sister's phone, and after restarting all of the HTC widgets (clock, weather, calendar, etc) are gone. They don't even show up in the list to add to the home screens. I thought I read...

    Google Navigator battery usage tip

    I did some testing with the Navigator yesterday and I have to say it's absolutely awesome. I'm not sure if anyone has posted this, couldn't find any mention of it, but I want to share my battery usage experience with it as well as some other cool things I noticed. Very cool battery saver: I...

    Help How to convert "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts

    So I did my update manually earlier today without any problems (all of my contacts were Google)... I have a question for my sister's though: How do you convert all of your Phone contacts to Google contacts? I don't want to do the .csv backup and all that... just sync all Phone and Google...

    Use the "Desk Clock" as your normal clock?

    As the title suggests... is there any way to do this? I really like the simple, digital look of this clock, colors and all. I want to use it as my regular clock. Right now I'm using DigiClock, but I'd prefer this Desk Clock if at all possible. I can't seem to find anything though... any...

    Weather Channel widget not updating automatically anymore

    Over the past couple days, it seems like my Weather Channel app hasn't been working properly. When I move to the home screen that has the widget, it will be displaying the wrong temperature and picture (i.e. it might be showing "partly sunny" when it's night time). It just shows the...

    "OMG, you started ANOTHER 2.1 thread?!?! Epic FAILz!!!!"

    I just feel like venting about this... Please take the time to read it and let me know if you agree or disagree. Civil responses only please ;) I've seen so many people say stuff like similar to this thread title, and I personally think it's getting ridiculous. This is one bandwagon that...

    The Weather Channel - Notifications

    Is there a way to turn off the weather notifications in this app? We have been having a crappy snowstorm all day, and I keep getting the notification no matter how many times I clear it. It just keeps coming back every few minutes or so. And every time it comes back, it makes a notification...

    Weird issue with Alarm Clock volume - randomly resetting?

    Ugh, this is getting very irritating... I have 3 alarm times set on my phone (stock clock), and the volume keeps resetting to whatever must be the default I guess. Here's what happens: I set the alarms as "on" (check box), then open the time itself, set the ringtone, and adjust the volume...

    Linked Facebook Contacts - Updated Pictures?

    For contacts that I have linked to their respective Facebook accounts, I had the phone import their Facebook default picture to use as their contact card photo. However, once they change their default picture on Facebook, my phone never gets updated. It remains the initial picture that was...

    Birthday Reminders for Phone Contacts?

    When I link my contacts to Facebook, I see there is an option to import their birthdays as well. I think this is a great feature, but I'm not sure how exactly it works... Is there a way to link this to the Calendar widget? I'd like to have reminders set up for all of my contacts' birthdays...

    Post-Update: Clarification on the Swipe-to-Unlock feature

    Anyone who has received their update has undoubtedly been frustrated with the swipe-to-unlock screen. I have to try 3-4 times sometimes, when before I could do it with no problem. I got used to the old way, and the new way is driving me crazy! Sometimes I resort to pressing the Menu button...

    Facebook in Browser (regular version, not mobile site)

    Is it possible to open the regular Facebook page in the browser? I am almost able to log in to it, but then it asks me for my birthday because I'm not browsing from a "familiar location". So I select my correct birth date from the drop-down menus, but the Login button stays grayed out for some...

    Help Creating a new photo album

    Is this possible? It seems pointless to have something called "Albums" if you have no control over it... I want to create an album, and move pictures to it. Anyone know how? Thanks!
