[REQ] tweak to disable vibration on start up

search for sometime now, could not find any leads that may shed light to this
anyone out there? I'll try searching for it in the registry, if only i know where to start

First off, I don't know why you'd even ask for this. It's a tiny burst of vibration that happens only once when you power up the device, and that's it. There's no harm in it and I can't see a genuine reason for wanting it gone since it happens so rarley.
Secondly, you can't get rid of it. It's part of the self-diagnostic that runs when you switch on the device. If you did find a way to stop it (and I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure you won't) then the phone would probably think there was a problem and not boot.
You're gonna have to live with it mate.

It's so smarmy that it looks like it should have Blofeld sat on his lap and be saying "Ah Mr. Bond.... I've been expecting you"

I was also looking for a solution to this problem.
You asked, why one should wish to deactivate this little vibration on startup...well, quite simple:
My HD2 performs its system backups every night, while it is in its cradle beside my bed. I am using SPB Backup which does a warm reset after finishing its operation. It's really not very funny to wake up every night, only because there is this "little" vibration during the boot up process.
If you are a user of a genuine HTC ROM, there is even an additional little melody playing after vibrating, which is still more uncomfortable! Only for this reason, I just reflashed my HTC ROM back to a Vodafone ROM (which only has the vibration).
I think, it would really be a good idea, If someone found a tweak to suppress the boot up vibration!

For the start up tune I used "JWMD Iconchanger" to delete it... now it vibrates in silence

[Q] Why isn't Google Talk working? The application starts, but then closes itself.

My problems are exactly the same as the ones that can be found in this thread.
http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/85756-gtalk-wont-open.html
The app pops up for a second, i see the icon and the words "signing in..." for about a second, and then it returns me to the home screen.
This is the log got by plugging the phone to my computer.

The thread seems to suggest a memory problem, but I've got 29MB free. Oh, and I'm running 2.2.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Well, I had the same problem, and I suspected memory as well, since I have been getting the low memory error for a few days now.
I uninstalled flash, which takes an enormous amount of space! 12 MB. But I also changed the Gmail policy for syncing. I had few very large folders set to sync 7 days worth, and one of those had a ton of inline images. I actually think that is what was causing the trouble, but I am not certain.
Either way, I freed up enough memory so that GTalk could turn on. I guess that sucker needs space, too! I wish more apps would use the install to SD card option. Especially giant ones, like Yahoo Fantasy Football (another 12MB one).
Oh well, I hope that helps.
P.S. I am on an original Droid running Froyo.

For me was the memory problem. I"ve uninstalled a 20 mb. prg and that solved the problem for me. I also needed to reboot my device after so the temp files will be erased along to. Now i have like 30 - 35 mb. free on the phone memory.

What is this stupid billing service process??

What is this process that I see many apps are leaving behind on exit and has to be manually closed? Why does it exist?

Comon anyone?? As an example where's my water leaves this process behind on exit.

In app purchases with Google wallet. It shouldn't be in running apps, just in cached apps so no biggie.

Sadly it's in running apps until I manually kill it. Currently apart from wheres my water it happens with another app "wallpaper changer".

}
The process gets triggered every time I open the app.
These 2 are apps from very established devs so it cant be spam.

Hmm not cool. Somebody else might chime in on this, but I can see why you wouldn't want it running if it sticks when you exited the app. :/
Edit: I believe you would need to contact the app coders to fix this issue. Other apps that have billing work fine, so they're likely stopping the service properly unlike WMW and wallpaper changer.
For the reference, WMW has been through numerous patches, so it's not really a matter of spam rather than sometimes shoddy coding.

Yes I suppose this is correct I have many other apps as well with in app purchasing options and they dont do this.
Thanks for the input.
If somebody else also knows about this then do chime in.

Bought wheres my perry in the ongoing sale and it does the same thing. :|

The stupid billing service process is that process which are not give desired results. That means which not meet our need.

Like I said, I won't be in a position to download probably till tomorrow, just hoping it will work on my GNex & Nexus 7 (and Nexus 4)!

Hi nishanthhh! I'm one of the Say What You See developers!
Are you sure it froze? The app downloads quite a bit of data when it's first loaded, so you may need to be patient?
If it did fully crash, it'd be great to know what sort of device and OS version you're using so we can try and fix it for you!
Really like to hear from anyone else about the app too - it's our first Android app, so we really want to make it as great an experience as possible!
Or, y'know, at least have it so that you can play the flipping thing.
Cheers,
Jon

Tried the game and had no fcs. The good thing is that it works and is fun. The bad thing is that its quite difficult cause I never had an iPhone or heard of this game. Just one request, I want to zoom in on the picture more cause its quite small and I have to strain my eyes.

ok I tried this app but as a french guy this is clearly too difficult for me, not to mention im not really a movie fan

Hi Juhan! We'll see if we can increase the magnification a bit, certainly down't want to send you running to the opticians!

Hi Jon_SWYS, I have just sent an email to yourselves via your online form with some suggestions and a bug report.
I will attach the email here so anyone else can also comment on if they have the same problems?
I have a few suggestions and a bug report for the current version.
Suggestions: I have been playing this on my Nexus 7, and because the keyboard takes up quite a bit of room, you can't always see the full, flashing clue as it is obscured by the keyboard. Would there be a way that we could hide the keyboard, while keeping the clue flashing and highlighted?
Possibly being able to scroll while the clue is highlighted would be beneficial too, but that is less of an issue.
Bug report: On my Nexus 7, when I try and buy more coins I get a "Sorry there was a problem making a purchase on this device. Please check that your System is up to date and you have the latest version of Google Play installed. I am running 4.2.1. It works on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
I hope this report helps, and my suggestion makes some sense?

Please ignore the Bug Report! It was a setup issue on my Tablet!!

Forum not displaying properly

The title pretty much sums it up.
I like to get caught up with a few specific rom-threads when I get a few minutes at work, but last night (at work), my GS3 wouldn't load the pages properly using the phones browser. No worries at the time, I figured I'll just catch up on my pc when I get home. So now I'm home on my pc, but I still get the same jumbled up pages. I am so not happy.
I use Firefox on the pc, but tried Chrome browser, and even IE-10. Cleared cookies and cache but get the same thing on all of em. Obviously I am not the only one this is happening to, so any info is appreciated.
I'm just hoping it's all back to normal when I get up tomorrow.
But tonight, I might actually have a problem getting to sleep without my daily dose of xda lol.
Edit- twitter said something about the hosting company doing something to the network.

a suggestion.
google play has a application for these forums, if you download that, that will help fix the display problems
hope that helps

Appreciate it and I already have a themed xda app, I just really prefer the phones browser. I might only spend 10-15 minutes browsing xda at work, so the phone not displaying it properly isn't that big a deal. But it's 8am here and still not displaying correctly on my win7 pc (or the phone browser), so I'm open to suggestions or ideas or anyone who could tell me whats up with xda. Probably spend more time on xda then almost all my other sites combined,so I'm pretty bummed right now.

It is not showing up properly for me either:

It's not showing up right for me either. Hopefully they'll sort it out soon.

yup same.

Oh I thought it was just me...

Really, no one knows why all of a sudden xda isn't displaying properly? This is really annoying so maybe a mod will check in and let us know what is going on. As it is right now, the forum is really hard to follow and is basically unreadable.
Someone please help with this

Here's the solution for anyone still needing it. Thanks to clankfu for answering my post in the Sprint GS3 MOAR thread.

Edit - Tried to edit the title from my op to show [Solved] but didn't see that option.

i was thinking last night, and i changed to the themes, and one didnt show correctly, but soon as i changed to another one, like xda clasic or something like that it was alright.
the ones that are having trouble, hope it works...
to anyone who reads this topic, if you have any other ideas or suggestions excluding theme changing, please here in this topic....
admin or mods: please rename topic and add solved on it
