    Help Time on lock screen is squished!

    My wife's new Epic 4G has a lock screen which looks just like this. The problem is, we just noticed right now the time is squished. It's only the LAST number in the time (e.g. the 2nd 4 shown below is squished like it is not wide enough to fit). This is from another phone, this looks fine, but...

    Root Can't write to /system/etc ????

    Here's a weird one, I can't copy files to /system/etc - I'm getting "out of memory" errors from adb push and "cannot allocate memory" if I try using adb shell and try to "cp" the file to /system/etc from /data/... WTF? :confused:

    Root HUGE DRAIN after installing OMJ's 2.2 ROM

    I did unrEVOked 3.21 and applied OMJ's 2.2 netarchy kernel ROM. I am not sure what my battery life was at this point but I was now on 2.2 after using eclair 2.1 for so long. I wanted to go to the new stock kernel so reupdated to OMJ's stock kernel 2.2 ROM. I also added back the Sprint TV...

    Help Manage Applications list not showing all apps immediately

    I noticed ever since upgrading to FroYo 2.2, when I go into Manage Applications to see a list of apps to install/uninstall/manage, I have 4 options, All/Downloaded/Installed/Running. I usually leave it on All since that is most usable for me. But I noticed whenever the list loads (either list...

    Root Rooted EVO with unrEVOked3.21 and got an error unsupported radio?

    I am thinking this was just the disable security feature which I forgot to disable as I didn't really want or care to turn S-OFF. But anyways I installed the HBOOT drivers and it worked just like the instructions said. Then when I ran the reflash.exe for 3.21, it did a bunch of stuff and I put...

    Help Can't upgrade to 2.1, what the heck?

    I have an O2 UK Dell Streak 16GB Pay-&-Go phone. It worked fine and then I decided I wanted to upgrade it. :) Inevitably, the update bricked it and it was stuck on the Dell logo screen. So after freaking out and scouring more forums/threads on this, I found the below thread from Modaco which...

    Video Out via 3.5mm Headphones Jack?

    So I see the Galaxy and Captivate support Video Out via 3.5mm headphones jack. Any chance this (apk?) could be ported to the EVO or other Android phones???

    Dell Streak available ONLINE ONLY

    Won't be in AT&T stores. I just confirmed with a few AT&T stores including some RMs of the stores. This includes Best Buy, Wal-Mart, AT&T Retail, AT&T Corporate stores. :( So basically you need to order online tomorrow via AT&T or Dell and today via Dell Pre-Sale if you can. Otherwise...

    Help O2 Unlock Codes yet??

    So now that Dell is selling them unlocked, do you think O2 would give out unlock codes? I have 2 Streaks coming to me soon - should be here Tuesday. I fear they are locked despite the invoice saying "sim free" (it also says "pre text web" as in like pre pay pkg). I don't think I have time to...

    HDMI: Amzer vs. Sprint cable

    Hey folks, I have some GOOD news and some BAD news... First off, I got the Amzer Micro HDMI cable recently and it did NOT work. It worked for maybe a split-second then crashed my HDMI stack (I believe, had to reboot to reproduce it). This is the SAME CABLE that MANY OTHERS have used WITH...

    Root Now that we have Root... SSHD or Apache??

    Anyone?? I'm looking for a simple drop-in SSH daemon. Dropbear? I'm thinking it might not work because no RW to /etc or /system - Also is it fully compatible with Android 2.1?? Is there an APK by chance?? :) And for a web server, Apache?? TinyHTTPD?? Anything?

    MailDroid vs. K-9 vs. Others?

    I use HTC Mail for Exchange and I'm VERY happy with it. I love it. The unread view is how I live and this is the only smartphone app which has it, period!! HOWEVER, it doesn't support IMAP/POP3! So I'm stuck using something like MailDroid or K-9. I'm trying to understand the differences. K-9...

    Root System Crash

    My EVO crashed a little while ago. I was playing with it at dinner, mainly checking email, and I accidentally opened the app "device self service". I waited ~30s and gave up and pressed Home. That took me back Home no problem. But when I went to go snap a pic about 45 mins later, I noticed my...

    Sorting People (Contacts)

    On the Nexus One and I guess non-SenseUI, I could change how my contacts were sorted, "last, first" or "first last". On the EVO, I can't seem to do that. But on Favorites in the 9x grid, it sorts them "first last". :( Any ideas?? Is there a better favorites or people widget??

    Live Wallpaper went away when Battery Died?

    First off, I purposely killed my battery. I bought the phone and that night (June 5th) I charged it to 100%. I have since let it dwindle with periodic use and only marginal charging from when I copy files to the SD card via USB. So it finally dwindled down to 20% today and I decided to kill it...

    Flash 10 Support

    I'm confused. I'm able to pull up a site which has a Flash 10 object and it works no problem. I thought I needed Froyo (2.2) and the Adobe Flash Beta App to get this working. In fact, on my 2G Nexus One, that is what I had to do to get it working - upgrade to 2.2 when I found the link to the...

    Root How do I get a CMD line after rooting??

    Install ConnectBot. It has a LOCAL feature and you'll see a "$" prompt and after typing 'su' you get the SuperUser prompt from unrEVOked, and after that.... *drumroll* you should see "#"!!! "id" reports uid=0(root) as expected! w00t!! :D Now, can anyone recommend a good and FREE SSH daemon...

    Phone Favorites Different with HTC Sense!!

    So I'm playing with my new EVO 4G and this new HTC Sense UI. I don't mind Sense (it's cool in some ways) but I really dislike the Favorites/Phone integration. The only way I can seem to view Favorites is through the Favorites Widget. The problem is it only shows 3 of them and I have to scroll...

    Data when 3G/4G unavailable??

    I'm beginning to notice if my 3G or 4G signal isn't available, I can't do any data services. You'd think it could do EVDO or whatever CDMA 1xRTT or something (I'm obviously out of my league on the terminology here)... Can anyone confirm or better explain this??

    Extending Battery Life - Success...

    I wanted to do a battery idle test so I charged my EVO up last night to 100%, and unplugged it at midnight - it actually blinked at like 11:50 and the charge light disappeared, so I *think* it stopped charging itself (nice!!). I went to bed and woke up and checked on the phone now 8.5 hours...

    Root Conflicting Root Info???

    There's a lot of noobish posts/replies about rooting and EVO here, so I'm trying to fully grasp what is true and what is not. A lot of posts/replies indicate you lose all of your data/apps/settings but I'm beginning to think that this only happens with the toastcfh root but NOT the unrevoked...
