Hey guys I was wondering if someone also has this small bug after installing Phone Alarm. I noticed that my sound tap under sound & notification in setting seems to automatically turn itself off after an hour or so. I then have to go back into setting to turn it back on. Is there a setting under Phone Alarm that I missed or something? Thanx in advance.
You should post to the pA site.. Also make sure you are using verison 1.63.. It has some updates just for the Tilt..
I have had VERY few issues with pA....
I had this issue with version 1.62 that going to a profile with sound set at Zero value and then returning to a normal profile would cause the screen taps to go silent. This required taps to be re-enabled from the Settings / Sound. However the problem is corrected with version 1.63 and everything thing is okay now.
Thanx for all the help. I thought I had got the latest 1.63 but I guess I was still running 1.62. After 1.63 everything was just fine.
Also be sure to check if all your profile settings are still correct after restoring them from the phonealarm settings backup file! I restored from a file I exported on my tytn and some volume settings were set on "leave unchanged"...found out the hard way, when my phone rang in a lecture
Noobie Question:
You were talking about 1.62 and 1.63? I'm guessing that you are talking about ROM versions? If so mines 1.57.502.2 I'm running whatever AT&T. How easy is the update? Is it like a reinstall, similar to reinstalling XP or is it like a patch, like a windows update kinda thing?
I'm Using some French Program for my alarm currently, cause its the only alarm I've seen that works ok and actually wakes up the phone to make a sound. I want a working alarm from the phones standard alarm clock. My one on my BlackJack work amazingly, but I upgraded to this phone and it seems like it does everything except having a decent alarm clock.
I do hope I'm in the right sectionr I own an AT&T Tilt
Thanks in advance.
No we are not referring to the ROM Versions but to the PhoneAlarm versions. 1.63 build 200 is the current latest.
Where would I go to download that? And is for the AT&T loaded ROM file on the Tilt? Or is it like a third party install (if so is it free or paid?) I'm using Pocket Wake Up, Its ok but like I said before its in partialy in french. But it was free.
The website is www.pocketmax.net
And it is just like any thrid party application and it is not free
Hello All,
I am attempting to work with Swype support, as I keep getting stuck in the DRM with the beta, which disables the product and pops up "registered on another device, limited functionality", etc.
They have said they have tested it throughly, and have been "unable" to recreate the issue.
I would like to show them how many people are experiencing this issue, and have simply abandoned the beta, and have gone back to the WORKING leaked prerelease.
Please post here if you have had any issue related to the Swype beta, and explain what you have tried to fix it.
THanks!

I don't know what the cause is but I do know how to fix it. Simply long press on any text input box to bring up the "text input" option and select a different keyboard. Once that is done, do it again only this time select Swype. Bingo, back in action.

Doesnt work for me, and I've been working with support and tried EVERYTHING (uninstall\reinstall, re-register, all the suggested fixes, etc)
I signed up for the beta, downloaded the file and installed it. I could swype all day and nothing appeared in the text box. Installed one of the previous unreleased versions and it worked fine, uninstalled and tried the beta again with same failure mode. Swype doesn't make it easy to comply with their requests to use approved software.
Both Swype support and myself have no idea why, but we were finally able to get Swype up and running on my phone.
Huge thanks for Brian from Swype support for his help, and I recommend anyone having issue to contact their support to see if you can get the issue resolved.
The app has a somewhat complicated (encrypted) registration process, and somehow that was not completing successfully, so def let support know if you are running into similar issues
This happened to me too. I gather it happens every time I install a different ROM, I need to contact Swype to get my Beta account re-authed.
Stuff that, I can't be bothered, I'll just wait until the paid version comes out.
Thought I'd give it another try and still get the "Limited Functionality..."...As usual with restricted access, DRM, etc, it is the ones who try and follow the rules who lose...the pirates will always find a way. Back to the leaked version for me, I guess, though I do think the HTC IME keyboard is still faster and more accurate.
I also get the "limited functionality" message, but only occasionally.
I haven't tested this hypothesis, but seems like it only does this to me when I am at home--and when I'm at home, I'm usually on wifi.
Maybe there's some kind of DRM that didn't take into account that people may occasionally switch from 3G to wifi connections.
If I had more time I'd try messing with it a bit, but I'm just headed to sleep.
There's probably a call home check on first application start up. When you wipe or switch ROMs, that will be cleared, but their servers already have the product registered.
Try backing up the app-data for Swype in between wipes/ROM updates.
I got the "limited functionality" message every time, no ROM updates between download and install. I even reinstalled the installer, redownloaded, etc and it just doesn't work. Glad it didn't work, because it convinced me to go back to HTC IME which is faster and more accurate for me.

its from the other swype thread and this worked for me.
hope for the rest also
well, after some time testing and thinking about this issue i found out whats the cause of it, it happens after rebooting the phone, the reason for this is that rooted roms zip align newly installed apps which changes a lot of things in the file, and i think that the registration process requires the main apk to remain unchanged, maybe someone can contact swype developers and tell them about this and hope that they can find a solution for it.
I have confirmed with a swype tech that there is a registration\call back home immediately following the install of the apk. If successful it will have a quick spinner stating "reristering swype" and the ask you to "enable swype".
I, unfortunately, seem to have major issues getting it to actually call back home, where it states "Swype has already been installed. please uninstall and try again" (I had previously uninstalled it).
In the end, had to revert back to the leaked versions

Ive tried MULTIPLE times to uninstall and reinstall swype w/o rebooting, so I think it wouldn't have a chance to zipalign until the next reboot.
Kind of sad that Swype hasn't gotten back to me yet
Somehow, I am using the Beta version I downloaded myself. I was trying out Super D for a week which is when the Beta was open, later I went back to Dwang and Swype broke when using the Beta installer but I got it working using AppMonster. Here's the steps I followed over that time:
- Wipe phone and install Super D
- Install AppMonster from Market
- Sign up for Swype Beta
- Download SwypeInstaller and install Swype Keyboard
- Perform backup with AppMonster
- Wipe phone and install Dwang
- Download SwypeInstaller and install Swype Keyboard
At this point I got the "Limited Functionality" message
- Wipe phone and install Dwang again
- Install AppMonster from Market
- Restore backup of Swype with AppMonster
Now I can go into Settings and enable Swype in the usual way. I have been using it without a problem for a couple of weeks now.
What solved it for me
I had Swype installed and working on a G1 with Cyanogen latest but after an uninstall it stopped working for me with the same error messages as described here in this forum.
What solved it for me is not pushing the done button on the touch screen after the package install but pushing the back key on the phone. This got me in the registering Swype screen after which the swype installer crashed. Swype is fully working however using these steps.
just go back to installer , log in and reinstall. Everytime i flashed a new rom i did this. I found out u can do this 10 times, before they cut u off. Obviously they know whats up?!
obviously i like the real beat with vibration option and more stable. im using now the final pre release that was made available in a couple posts above mine. no vibration, but it works. this keyboard is fantastic!
Hello from Trinidad.
I have had my N1 for a couple weeks now. I got it stock froyo frf91 I think, Tmobile model.
Anyway here are the issues I have with the device. I'm coming from a long line of Nokia Symbian devices as well as a Blackberry. Its very upsetting that things I have taken for granted on my nokias and bb are not available/implemented out of the box with Android. I can only hope this improves in future.
1) Alarm Clock. It does not go off. This happened both with stock 2.2 as well as Cyanogen. First issue. I edit the default alarms that came with the phone to the time and days that suit me. Set it for 6am Mon - Sat. It WILL NOT go off.
The only way to make it work was to delete the initial alarms that come with the device and then create new ones. This works fine after with stock 2.2. However on Cyanogen it will fail to work the week after.
Example - I set an alarm 2 sundays ago. It will work for Mon-Sat the prior week but for the week after it will not go off.....like this morning:-/. I did install the latest gapps with cyanogen 6.
This is a killer problem. its hard to believe that such a basic feature malfunctions in both Stock and Cyan. :-|
2)Gallery & Sync to Picasa - The gallery app is fine, besides the lag it takes to render photos. Anyway, when I sync my Picasa account with my phone it loads every single Picture from my account, with no way to hide albums or pictures. In addition to that I cannot download pictures from my Picasa account to the gallery..... So its only purpose is to view them?
3)Camera - App worked fine on Stock, sometimes Force Closes or throws the error "Cannot connect to device." on Cyan.:-/
4) Custom Ringtone per Contact - Maybe its me, but I cannot set a custom tone per contact in my address book. I can set a custom ringtone for the phone itself but not per contact. Please tell me that I missed an option and that this has not been left out. Its a basic feature such as an alarm clock......
5) I remembered. Whenever I set a phone number as the default for a contact, it does not save. i would always have to tick "Do this automatically from now on" or something to that effect, select the number and let it dial. After going back to contacts and dial the same number I would have to do it again.
For anyone that is gonna try to assist me this is what I've done so far.
Rooted the device but not unlocking the bootloader via a method I found on xda. I can't post links, but its the method that does not involve fiddling with the battery. Installed market enabler so that I could actually give google my money (way to go google :-/) and bought a couple of apps such as Titanium backup, Beautiful Widgets, Bettercut, Launcher Pro Plus and System info widget.
Btw I've had Beautiful widgets freeze/ force close on a couple occasions.
That's all I can recall. I'm gonna wipe my device to deal with this but I have another question before I do.
As I'm not in a country that can buy apps normally through the store, what will happen to my paid apps? Will they remain on my downloaded list or will they disappear? Any recommendations?
I've backed up my paid for apps with Titanium. Great app ... But how do I backup Titanium backup :-/?
1. NEVER had a problem with an alarm not going off.
2. Don't use
3. No force closes at all
4. View the contact, menu, options
The applications that are downloaded are stored in /data/app/.
The applications are linked to your google account so once you sign in with the same account it will start to restore them. I really don't know how it works for non market enabled countries but it should still show up and I have never seen anyone complain that they can't redownload them.
When reporting problems it's always best to start out fresh because something could have gotten corrupt or incompatibility with something else.

4 ur 4th prob. Create a folder in ur sdcard named audio . Inside it place 4 subfolders named ringtones, alarms, notifications, ui. Then watever file u place in these folders will appear in the corresponding selection boxes. Bt u must reboot 4 this to work. As of my last post srry 4 bein rude, i was sleepy. Its 3 am in here

The "default" ringtone chooser only allows "system" ringtones. The apps "ringdroid" and "Rings extended" give UI's that allow the selection of music/etc as a ringtone. Once one them is installed the next time you try to choose a ringtone it will ask you which application to use (and you can choose to always use that app)
I use CM6 and have just modified the default 2 alarms and they always work. Are you running any kind of auto-task-killer? (BTW they do more harm than good)
If you don't want to sync with picassa then disable "Sync Picasa Web Albums" in "Accounts and Sync" under your google account.

Create folders on your SDcard
Media/Ringtones
Media/Notifications
And put your MP3 files in there and then you can select them with the default ringtone selector.
Thanks for the responses guys.
1) The alarm issue I'll be testing over the next couple of weeks to see if it works or not.
2) I disabled the sync to albums in accounts for Picasa. I just hoped there was a work around at least to only display public albums or something of the like.
3) Will monitor the camera closely as well.
4) Hey thanks all. I got the ringtones set up, but i'll also try Ringdroid etc.
5) This still happens. Everytime I go into Call log for example, and try to call a contact with multiple numbers, I have to always select the number i want as default and tick "use this as default" or something to that effect.
Any help on No. 5?
Might try out another rom soon or might just reinstall CM6 after a clean Sd card and wiping the phone.

No task killer of any kind good sir.
List of user installed apps as follows:
Astro
Astro Bluetooth Module
Astro SMB Module
Barcode Scanner
Bat Stat widget
Beautiful Widgets
Better Cut
Colour note
Dropbox
Easy Money
Launcher Pro Plus
Market Enabler
Real Calc
System Info Widget
Titanium Backup
Wave secure
That's all that i've added, but as I said it did happen to me on 2.2 as well.
Nevertheless.I'll be monitoring it too.
Not turning your phone off overnight are you? It needs to be on for the alarm to work.
Nope. Usually the battery is pretty drained during the day so at night is when I have it charging.
Also note that wave secure usually does its automatic backups when the charger is plugged in. Could that affect it?
I don't see how cause I did happen once on 2.2 but I'm beginning to feel that it was just a fluke.

And people like you should not be given access to the internet.
Another question or maybe issue or maybe both...
While the phone is using data over edge, will I not receive calls?
i find it strange that people have been calling me and I get a text message saying that I have a missed call but my phone never rings. I'm only using EDGE data in my area so could that be the culprit?
Do a test, download something and call your phone at the same time?
@hafis93 - I thought that was very funny. They were even helpful responses. I'm gonna try the .name in a Picasa album to see if that hides it.

yes, while on EDGE, very often if someone calls you it will go directly to voicemail and you wont see the call ring on your end. its just the way it is on some EDGE networks, nothing you can do about it, and its not your phone as all phones would behave that way. sucks.
I've done a complete wipe of everything, Data, Cache Davlik etc and reinstalled Cyan and Gapps.
Everything seems to be fine so far, no force closes or camera failures.
Thanks everyone for the help!
One last thing though. Is there a way to enable the market without having to use Market Enabler? Reason being is that I have to "activate" it everytime for it to work.
I know there is a script on xda that does it but haven't been able to search it.
I have another issue to add to this topic. My apologies in advance if an answer to this is already available, can't seem to find it anywhere though.
When approaching the end of my battery life, my phone may start referring the wrong buttons. For instance, it may pick spacebar on the keyboard while I'm pressing letters above. Or strange response inside the browser like brief vibration or sudden zoom while I'm just trying to scroll down or something. I did experience the same issues in the past on stock build. Is there any sort of fix to this for CM6?
Again my apologies if this has been discussed before.

I was very excited when I got the pop up notification of a system update available on my phone. I dug around online to try and find a changelog with no luck. So I decided to pull the trigger anyway and see if it fixed any of my main frustrations with the phone.
There are 3 things that should be a simple update to fix yet none of the 3 were included.
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858043
Ability to change default homescreen. I like having screen 2 as the default so I can page left for utility apps/widgets and page right for music/play apps/widgets. Apparently the homescreen furthest left is always the default. Every other launcher I have ever used has let you specify which homescreen you want to be the default.
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815915
I spent the $50 or so for the desktop dock since I use my phone as my alarm clock on my nightstand. EVERY time I plug the phone it (set to bedside clock to launch as default) it comes up with an error that smartdock has stopped working. I shouldn't have to revert to an old version of the Google store as a workaround, a system update should have fixed this!
3) Phone/Notification ring volumes are independant with no way to link together. (couldn't find a reference thread)
When I use the volume rockers on the side of the phone it adjusts only the incoming call ringer volume, not the notification volume. If I want both to be loud or both to be quiet I have to pull down the notification bar, tap the settings icon, tap the sound icon, tap volumes and adjust both, which can not be done silently as the ringer plays as you adjust them! THIS IS NOT CONVENIENT AT ALL!!! My old Atrix 4g had the option to link the 2 together which makes the most sense! Again, this should be a simple option to add with a patch.
I know these are little things in the big picture, but the fact that a patch was pushed out and failed to address any of them leaves me very frustrated. Apparently the only thing that seems to have changed with a 70+mb update is a new camera icon.

Sorry to hear that the update didn't live up to your expectations. For your first problem though, I would recommend an alternative launcher. The most popular ones used for ICS and above are Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher (I personally use Nova Launcher Prime, the paid version of Nova).
Just for clarification - you were in the soak test for this update, correct?

Well I guess that's the beauty of Android isn't it. I can download an alternate launcher, find an app to fix the volume thing and roll back to a previous version of the app store and all will be well. Guess it's time to do some "customizing".
If I am part of the soak test it would be news to me. All I know is while I was at work yesterday afternoon I got a pop up saying an update was available. I can't remember if I signed up for anything like beta testing or not.

Well I guess that's the beauty of Android isn't it. I can download an alternate launcher, find an app to fix the volume thing and roll back to a previous version of the app store and all will be well. Guess it's time to do some "customizing".

If you opted in to the Motorola Feedback Network on the Motorola forums, then you are most likely a part of the soak test which is currently testing the update.
Hmm, I went to try my usual logins on the motorola forums page, found out I had only part way registered. It new my username/password but took me to an "edit your profile page" that allowed me to opt in to the Feedback Network. Apparently I hadn't done that before. Also I didn't have any devices registered there. Doesn't look like I got signed up for the soak test that way.
I spent a few minutes playing with 3rd party launchers and found out that the circles widget does not work with non stock launchers. I have come to really like the simplicity of the circles widget. I'll have to decide if a non-optimal default homescreen is worth the hassle to keep the circles widget.
I also tried to revert to an older version of google play music, but can't get it back to the version mentioned in the desktop dock crashing thread.
Downloading a free app called cVolume seems to have linked the phone/notifications volume.
So for now I am 1 for 3 on getting things straightened out. Maybe we will get the JB update soon and all of this will become a moot point...
I have to say I'm very happy with the new update...IMO the software was holding this device back and since the update I have had next to 0 lag.....actually love this device now.....sucks your having issues

Can you tell what has changed in the new update?
Don't get me wrong, the update didn't make anything worse. In fact I have noticed a few things running more smoothly.
My frustration comes from the update seemingly ignoring the minor complaints I have with the software. I was hoping the update fixed the things that bother me and it didn't do that.
Still the phone is a great phone and I plan on keeping it for a while.

Now if only Motorola and AT&T would push the update OTA for everyone....
After the update my external sdcard has become locked. Unable to add new files / delete old ones. Formatting doesn't work. Any ideas?

I guess you tried to reboot the phone with nothing attached to the usb port but sd card in ?
My phone has never touched a computer until last night when I flashed back to 77.10.16 in hopes of fixing the problem. No go. I read online in a number of places stating that certain phone companies are locking sd cards if it's in during an ICS update. Sadly, this was a class 10 32gb sandisk and it seems like I'll be needing a new one.

Here is a screenshot, later i post if i see any obvious changes
OK for me
We already talked about this update for a week now.
You induce people in error thinking there is another update, not this one.
There is a new update out. No fix for notifications in dark mode.
Could have guessed it because it wasn't mentioned, but even this trial is stuck on December security update. Vivo seemingly just cannot do software. Hope it's more stable than the last version. On the last one I had 1-3 partial app crashes a day on camera or Gmail or chrome (making restart of app necessary).
None of the real problems like autofocus, notifications or battery life usm

OMG... When I opended the software update screen no new update was presented, but when I opened the trial/beta screen, I got the option to update... ^_^...
Not missing much, this update runs very unstable for me and worst battery drain on mobile data yet.
E.g. keyboard lost while typing a reply here and need to close chrome and reopen to be able to type again frequently.
Instead of fixing anything vivo is just making things worse....have you made sure you're not talking to a chatbot at vivo support?

That's always like this for trial updates. At least I never was informed about them but needed to click I to the trial option....

For the 18.3 I must have opened the trial/beta part at least 20 times.. but never saw the update...
And even better, my 'unknown number' issue when having a VOLTE/VOWIFI connection is solved ^_ ^
I cannot install any apk anymore on this trial version. Play store is outdated and I cannot update it! Same for gcams...
After clicking on "Continue Installation" it just crashes.
I downloaded a random APK from apk mirror, opened it with the 'File managment' app and was able to install the APK just fine... Also updating installed apps via play store works fine for me...

Ah ok. I put him on the ignore list and don't see any message from him anymore. So your comment was confusing me
Edit: when it doesn't work for him it's clearly an user error. I wish for all the people here he sells the phone and let us be in peace.
Well I don't know why it doesn't work. Just nothing happens after clicking on "Continue Installatin" - Updating apps via play store works fine (but play store cannot update itself - if you want to update play store you need to manually downlaod a new apk). I don't know when it last worked - maybe a week ago.
Edit:
well I can still install/update everything via ADB install - guess I removed some system permissions too much when making sure this phone doesn't send home too much data.
