Have a Nexus One which was updated OTA to FRF91 (or 93, or whatever it is now). However, I've never seen coloured trackball notifications.
Right now I've got Gmail, Email, SMS, and Facebook notifications all waiting, and I'm still getting the same white flash every 15 seconds. Do I need to install an aftermarket app to get this to work? Was under the impression that it "just works" in Froyo.
Cheers,
Dave
Only works for some things, not all.
Google Voice is green - that's all I've seen...

Install Blink, that'll sort some notifications out.
So I installed Blink and set it all up. Text message light works and it's blue now. I set the incoming call light to orange, however when I call from my home phone it's still white. Any ideas? :s

If you're rooted use leofroyo, kang-o-rama or rodriguez - they all have trackball alert working, you will find them in developers section.
This is what I miss, since I've come to CM6 (nightly passion) - and it's just a matter of time teamdouche will soon come up with solution.
Nope I am not rooted and don't think I want to either to be honest. Don't really see any advantage and process just seems too complicated with the risk of ruining the phone. I am not really in the mood to brick my phone. lol
The only advantage I see of rooting is being able to move all the apps I download on the SD card so it doesn't take that much room on my phone. But apparently people are saying Froyo does that, which I have too. But I only see that 'move to sd card' option for few apps. Most of them aren't clickable and that option is greyed out. Out of 10-11 apps I have so far, only 3 I was able to move to sd card. Any ideas?
Incoming call light is white because the colour can only be changed when the screen is off.

i mean unless you completely F up and dont read the instructions at all, u cant really brick the phone unless u pull the battery or if it dies while flashing the radio. other than that, idk of any other way to brick your phone. this is what i was scared of my first time but its rather easy after the first time or two. if youre rooted, just get trackball alert pro. its worth it

First things first... Long time reader, (well, since november) but a first time poster ... Ive learned an unbelievable amount from this site, and am currently running Fresh ROM 1.1, and LOVING it
However, i have a few questions... I figured it would be easier to condense it into one thread, unless i need to make more...
1. Im loving the new blueish theme. However, even with older versions, and the stock rom, i cant ever tell how much battery life i actually have.. I was wondering if it were possible to have a text indication as opposed to an icon? I remember reading somewhere that the OS only supports 20% (i think) increments... but even so, it would be easier to figure out how much battery i have. Im guessing its some type of image(s) that just update according to the reported battery percentage, but i have no clue.. If thats so, could the images be replaced with images containing text? I figured if this was possible, it could be applied thru a ROM update.zip (as done from recovery).
2. I don't know if this is a Fresh ROM "bug" or not, but i was on the phone the other day, and when i pulled it away from my face to turn the screen on, then disconnect the call, i had to drag down on the screen like it was locked. Now, this was a three way call, and my first ever on this phone. So thats why I am unsure if its even a bug... Perhaps its meant to be? I just found it odd.
3. MMS over WiFi problem... This was brought up in another thread that never received a reply... I doubt this is a Fresh ROM problem, as i had the problem on stock rom as well: when WiFi is enabled, I am unable to send OR receive any MMS messages. The message will show up in the chat log, BUT, when i press "download," the EVDO icon pops up in the status bar for a split second, then disappears and the picture does not download. As soon as i turn off WiFi and press download, it downloads it with no problem. Anyone know what is causing this? and is there a workaround? Or do i just have to turn off wifi for MMS? I thought the system would be smart enough to turn on & use EVDO when needed.
Thanks
Ben
Look into the Tsowen(sp?) battery icon for that. It was the default in 1.0, but if you're interested in accurate battery percentages, the HTC Battery Widget from the market place gives info on voltages, heat, battery type, and level down to 1%.
thanks for that.. i didnt think to look in the market. not exactly what i was looking for but itll do lol.
also you may want to try Power Manager from the market, it has a very accurate percentage readout along with the ability to limit certain things from running at lower battery life, such as dimming the screen automatically and also turning off wifi and gps and whatnot. it has saved me on trips to Philly a ton of times!
1.1 fresh copy paste from gmail no longer works
I usually during work have to touch my email screen when i have the gmail application up and it normally grabs the address thats on the screen in the body of the email......with the new fresh 1.1 it doesnt anymore. Is there a fix for this???
thanks
yeah the apps work. i was just hoping there was some way to replace the icon in the notification bar with text.
I would have added this to the thread, but it would get lost in the endless amount of posts that come per minute. Disabling SD Card Notifications does not disable them, enabling and disabling again does not disable it either. Even with the volume completely off when you plug in the phone to charge it notifies you via ringtone. Very annoying
If this is how you're doing it, maybe you should keep the first post update with verified bugs and there fixes (if there is one) as they are reported. This way damaged' thread will be less cluttered and people won't have to wade through hundreds of pages of posts to find something.
good idea but don't forget... SEARCH = WADE RELIEF
Mine works just fine. I dont get a ringtone when I plug my phone in and the volume is off...
Im sorry, but my trackball is still intermitent. I thought it was supposed to be fixed?
And my broswer hangs on the last leg, even though the page is fully loaded, I have to press stop.

You sure its not working. Its light sensitive so that may be the case.

Its light sensitive? Hm...didnt know that. Could very well be my issue, is there a way to turn it off? I liked in 1.5 how it came on by just moving it. Let me know my phone was responding and just....brought a sense of comfort I can never explain. I guess maybe being jealous over it whilst having the g1.
Another issue I am having is at the lock screen. Before this update if my phone was locked, you press the power key and then either swipe your screen down, or press menu to unlock. Now whenever I press menu, it unlocks but automatically pulls up the menu on the home screen. Not a huge issue and definitely not complaining, just wanted to let you know.
has anyone else had the issue where you answer an incoming call and there is no sound on your end or their end. and the only fix is to restart your phone?. it is very annoying. i found this in testing but it stopped. now its starting up again today
Bump
I know i annoy you all with my trackball b!tching, cause its no big deal to anyone else, but to me, I could live with all the original bugs if the trackball was constant.
Also, friendstream? I didnt see it in the rom, and cant find it, and idek if it works in damages latest release.
Total noob question, but the only reason im interested in friendstream is because, to be honest, idek what it IS. Link fb, ms, and twitter tkgether right?
I'm having trouble with VVM, when you call and vm answers it asks for the number your calling and the # and then says it doesn't recognize try again.......I tried google voice but it won't even go to VM at all......

I'm an android noob, but I'm trying to figure this system out.
I just did the 2.2 froyo update on my stock rogers captivate, and after some worrying because of a boot screen lock up, I have my phone running. One thing i noticed was the status bar won't adjust my screen brightness any more. Before, swiping left to right would decrease brightness, and right to left vice versa. It doesn't do that any more.. is this because of froyo? Can i have this option back?
The book sequence is messed up. First the rogers logo comes, then it goes to the S, sits for about 15 seconds and then proceeds to the phone menu. During this, I have a couple random vibrations. Is this anything to be concerned about? I rely heavily on phone reliability.
I've never rooted because I'm overwhelmed with the process and I'm afraid of bricking my only phone.. Should I be overly worried about bricking?
Will rooting grant me access to some killer apps?
Thanks for your patience,
Mike
I've never heard of the notification slide brightness thing your talking about. Never had it on my cappy or any roms I've used. And your boot sequence sounds about right, I wouldn't worry about it vibrating unless you blatently see it causing problems.

I figured it out, I have to slide my finger really slow and it will register.
Back to my rooting question. I'm a mostly a weekend tweaker, not an all-out hacker. Should I consider rooting? I'm mostly content with my android, other than some browsing issues and lag from time to time. Would rooting grant me more benefit? I'm just concerned with damaging my phone as it is my only handset, so if I wreck it.. it's over until i get another phone or this one fixed.. whats your opinion gentlemen?
Rooting is almost painless and has next to 0 for error factors.
You have two options. You can either a search for OneClickRoot, or you can DL the file that I've attached to the post and rename it to Update.Zip on the BASE of your internal SD card. Reboot into recovery mode. Then "Reinstall Packages".
Let me know how it goes for you
Hello!
I was pretty eager to install an NAND Android on my beatiful HD2, because WinMo really started to bug me, and I am still happy with my NexusHD2 Gingerbread ROM by tytung.
For homescreen customization I bought ADW.Launcher EX and ADW.Notifier out of the Market. Everything works mostly fine, my one problem right now is that:
When I receave a incomming text or mail ADW shows that little (ugly) red circle. Alongside of that, my Hardwarebuttons begins to pulse/flash. (Together with the green LED) that would be okay, If they would stop - but they don't even when i read a mail/text they keep pulsing and it seems that it stayes that way until I reboot.
As far as i can see that only happens when the phone is locked (and the screen is off), but I am not sure.
Any idea what could cause that? Do you need more information?
Anyway, thanks for your help,
laerador
It's a known issue with Gingerbread builds.
You need to make a phone call to stop it. You can ring a fake number (I used to just dial 0 when I was using Gingerbread), and just hang up, but that stops it... till the next time!

I love the Moto X. Wanted one when it was first announced and I ended up buyiing the VZW DevEd through the Black Friday sale. Lately I have been having a lot of problems with my phone and Im not sure what is going on and if it is an app update or a system problems but I'll describe the issues I am having and will let you guys suggestion ideas of how to fix it.
1) When ever I open up the stock contacts app it is always saying "Contacts list is being updated". Some times I'll open it up and I can see all the contacts listed correctly but when I select a contact to view its details I just get a blank screen.
2) This might be due to the contacts app, but when every I receive a phone call from a known contact the phone app only provides me with the phone number and not exactly who the caller is as defined in the contacts. Also when I receive a phone call while the phone is locked with the screen off the screen does not light up but the ring tone is played. Even picking up the phone does not light up the screen. I have to hit the lock button which silences the phone then hit it again to light the screen up then I can select answer or end call. Thats all hoping the caller is still callling me as this process takes a while.
3) Kind of the samething above but with the stock clock app and an active alarm. The phone has been super laggy that I can't silence or snooze and alarm in the morning quickly. I have to place my finger on the ring wait a few seconds to see it light up that I have selected the ring then I can move it to dismiss or snooze. When I select one of those options and let go it will pause on the screen and stay light for 10 seconds and then the selection will process correctly
4) This may be subjective but I think my battery life right now is really bad. I check the battery stats and it seems fine but when I use it the battery seems to drain really fast.
5) This isn't subjective. Everything is laggy from loading an app to displaying the recently used apps. I've tried uninstalling things, disabling things, enabling things and nothing seems to work. Its especially laggy when going from phone locked screen off to the home screen. It is no where as responsive as it once was. I was even down to 4GB of storage left out of 32GB so I cleared a bunch off the SD card and still its laggy.
So what do you guys think? Should I reset the phone or has someone experienced something similar and knows how to fix it. FYI, I am using Apex Pro as my launcher.

Try resetting your phone, if that doesn't work, then talk to motorola support. This stuff shouldn't happen and I'm sure Motorola's support team will be happy to help you.

So I think I fixed the problem last night with out resetting the phone based on something I mentioned here. I stated that I'm using Apex as my launcher. Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but last night I decided to change back to the stock launcher and closed out of apex in the recent apps menu. Everything got super snappy when going from view to view and launching apps. I then loaded Apex back up and it all seemed to work just fine. This morning when my alarms went off I didn't experience the problem that I was describing about above.
So I'm going to consider this issue fixed, however I will keep an eye on it to see if it comes back.
