Got some questions? think they're stupid? POST 'EM HERE

Lol, I guess you're right. No sense trying to win the Preakness on a Shetland pony.

Here's an intetesting one for you...

I'm back in stock for the moment.
I restored back to recover my contacts and when I flashed back to cm7 again I got in but I got the old Market, and the old icons.
Had the new boot screens, and unlock screen but with the old slider.
It kinda picked and chose what it wanted.
I reflashed and it stayed the same so I restored back to stock to try it again fresh.
 
Now that I am back in cm7 (hopefully for good) is it ok to remove

the cm7 zip
the gapps zip
TiBU
the TiBU saved backups?

I need the space badly.

also plz step me through how to get to the ringtone mp3s that come in cm7. I read I could clear almost 5mb's by removing them.
 
Yes to all. Make nandroid back up after tho for your safety net.

With root explorer go to system>media>audio>ringtones.

Theres a lot of notifications you can delete too that are above the ringtones folder.
 
Get rid of ADW Launcher? I don't much like it and it seems to be giving me trouble every so often. I have to keep syncing my FB contacts and resetting widgets and what not. I know I can set my other launcher as default but at some point it still pops up.
 
OK. I have a question about using my huawei ascend through my car speakers. I have an aux hook up and i use it for my music but when i receive a call and go to answer. i can hear them through the speakers but they cant hear me. i thought it was my system but i have had friends hook their phones up and it works fine on both ends for them. Is it that the phone just wont do it or am i missing something to do it?
 
So im just with cricket right now with the Huawei Ascend and i moved and got rid of my internet and started just tethering it to use the internet on my PC. and i just found out if you use TOO much data it will slow down to almost dial up speed... so im switching to sprint and getting the HTC Evo

but my question is... is the mobile hot spot subscription thing worth it? like is it faster then just tehthering or is it the same thing?

cuz if its the same thing im not going to spend the extra money for something i can just do for free haha

and also does the Ascend just suck at tethering or are all phone basically the same?
 
I don't know your mobile ISP so I can't answer your question but you should ask to your mobile provider if that hot spot subscription is going to have any usage restrictions and the bandwidth too.
 
Sprint's going to charge you $30 extra per month to use the hotspot. Go to your new phone's forum to find out how to root and tether and use the data you're already paying for just the way you want.

You can delete it with TiBU or I would imagine root explorer. Just make sure you have another launcher installed before removing it. And it's a good idea to go to Cyanogen settings and make sure "lock home in memory" is checked. You can also use TiBU to convert your preferred launcher to a system app.

Try turning off your phone, plugging your aux in, then turning your phone on.
 
Thanks for the help, worked like a charm.

Hey is there a reason why facebook contacts don't sync pictures very well?

Speed difference is totally based on your provider, but tethering via USB has limitations. The standard data limit for data through USB is 456kbps. It may be adjustable on your system, but its generally easier to do wifi since there are no data transfer limits.
 
Is there a way to disable the double tap the keyboard to unlock it, its driving the wife bananas. During voicemail when going to delete message you have to double tap a lock icon to use the keybd.

Thanks in advance.

Works for me. What do you mean by 'not well,' are some syncing and not others? Your phone might not be able to make the connection between a contact and their Facebook profile. Or if they're old pictures, maybe your settings aren't set to sync often enough for you.

I found out how to do it, yea some of them would download and some wouldn't, to fix I just when to friends and let the pictures load, now they are all there.

so then, the mobile hot spot and the tether would have the same result??
