zte blade 2

Hi, I have a T-Mobile Vivacity. This is my first Android phone. I understood that the more recent Android had ogg.vorbis capability natively. However, I like to stream Radio Paradise when I have wireless available and find that only the MP3 streams will work. Ogg is totally silent...

I was in a T-Mobile shop today, hoping to have a play with the Vivacity. I couldn't find it, and asked an assistant about it. She told me that the Vivacity had been discontinued 'a few weeks ago' and would now only be available online - and presumably only for a while, until they run out of...

First and foremost I would like to thank Android Forums for providing the resource to share expert knowledge in this field. My special thanks go to the numerous clever people who inspired me to attempt my first ever unlock on my Orange San Francisco II (aka ZTE Blade 2). I'll not bore you with...

As in the title , my SF2 will not charge past 64% battery even when left over night , any ideas ???

I'm not sure if I should post this here or on the Orange thread but no doubt the moderator will re-direct if necessary. The main reason for getting the SF2 was to use Orange UK's UMA service. I had previously tested out their service on an old Nokia E5 using a PAYG SIM and it worked ok...

My wife wants to auto add a sig to her messages. How can she do this?

Previously owned a Samsung Galaxy Ace, then went to an iphone 3gs for a while, have decided android is better! So, I will be getting my hands on a San Francisco 2 tomorrow, I am on Orange network and I know from previous handsets on there I will HATE the bloatware on it. Does anybody know a...

Hi Anyone know how to disable the SF2 from roaming ? I know how to stop data roaming but I'd like to be able to completely disabling it from roaming. I've tried switching it to airplane mode but that also seems to disables a lot of the more useful apps. Any advice or app...

I'm having some difficulties using this phone, the majority of apps seem to be on a sub-menu, but when I hold down on them it sdrags them up to the main menu. I can then delete them from the main menu but they are still on the sub-menu.

Meanwhile, until there is a Vivacity forum, does anyone know if there is a way for the camera flash to be controlled by a flashlight app? I've just tried the popular Tiny Flashlight, but to no avail. :( The screen light works well though!

I'm not sure if the title for this forum (Orange San Francisco 2 (ZTE Blade 2)) should be changed to include the Vivacity, which would make for a *very* long name, or should there be a new forum for this phone? Perhaps that will depend on how popular the phone gets to be. Who will make that...

Hi all. I'm new to the forums but I'm having trouble with my Orange San Francisco 2 (ZTE Crescent / Blade2). My problem is that I'm stuck on the "Too Many Pattern Attempts!" screen. I've tried most solutions and I can't figure out how to do this, so if anyone could tell me how to hard reset my...

I've put music on my sd card and now I can't find it to play it back

I am trying to change the Lock Screen image on my San Francisco II. I can change the Wallpaper on the Home Screen, but that does not also change the image on the Lock Screen. Previous Android phones (including the original San Francisco) changed both. At the moment I am using WidgetLocker -...

I have a new T-Mobile Vivacity, my first touch screen phone. I can't work out how to bring up the keyboard during a call (when you get 'Key 1 for ..., 2 for.....etc). Can anybody help?

I've installed Viewranger and copied my maps into a folder on the SD card named viewranger. The app wants me to manually tell it the name of the folder, but just typing in viewranger doesn't show me the maps, so I'm guessing I need the full name of the folder and I don't know what that is. How...

Wondered if anyone else has tried the SF2 with a Tomtom for hands free calling? I have a Tomtom Go 1000 and it won't work. It paired ok and seems to connect but then the Tomtom pops up an error message - something like "phone not responding". Not a major issue for me as I rarely use the phone...

What are other SF2 owners finding battery life to be? For me, it's really poor. I might get through a working day without needing to charge up but today, it was down to 20% by 3pm and I haven't used it much, just emails and a little internet. Not even any phone calls. Wifi seems to be taking a...

Hello, I'm just wondering if there is an app for my SF2 that will use my camera led flash as a torch/flash light? I'm a little bit new to the whole android market. If so could someone let me know what its called, I downloaded one that was just screen light thingymajig, I would like to use...

I have only had my SF 2 for a few days (my first Android phone) but already I have almost filled up the main memory. I have found an App called App 2 SD which helps move some apps to the SD card (I've put a bigger one in). How do I free up some space? There seems to be a lot of Orange stuff...

Hi, seems like i got here to late.....trying to unlock my san francisco 2 but computer did not recognise phone etc so did factory reset, phone works fine but it will not factory reset, it stays with a steady red light and the green man and does not reset, only way is to remove battery, is this...
