Nice multi-post
This isn't a permanent fix... reboot and it's gone. Nice try, though

This isn't really the big issue, most people can navigate into the call settings and enter their number. The problem for most is that the number doesn't stick, you have to re-enter it after every reboot.

Swype Smiley???

Hello all
I have swype 1.6. I've had this version for a while now. I used to be on 2.2 OTA. Today, I downgraded, rooted, and installed CyanogedMod 6. I installed swype again, but this time, instead of a "Return" key in the bottom right of the keyboard, there is this useless smiley
a) I look in the settings; couldn't find anything
b) I'm confused as to why a smiley shows up now on CM, but wasn't there on 2.2 OTA
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
For me, it shows up in Google Voice, but not the HTC text app, and I think it's shown up once or twice in other apps. If you hold it down, it'll bring up more , ect.
I kind of like it.
It's there based on what the keyboard detects you're typing in. For example, if it thinks you're typing in an IM/Text/MMS, it'll put a smiley. If it's a search/URL/input bar, it'll be return, etc.
sounds like you are using handcent
if so, follow this to undo it
in handcent, menu -> settings -> app settings -> action key type -> select enter instead of smile

[Q] I have a market with one app........

I only have one app in my market, it is download-able but none the less its the only thing there. any idears?
Any ideas folks?
So you started doing the Manualnooter 4.5.2 for 1.2
Just continue one with the rest of the steps. Reading further down on the Step-by-step guide you get these instructions.
Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.

STEPS:
1) Already have your Google Account entered into the table & synced.
Settings=> Accounts & sync => Add your account/Sync your account
2) Run Android Market first by using your desktop icon or the applet grid panel choosing the Market app. When run it should produce a Market with missing apps when you search as is usual.
3) Leave the Android Market program running & tap the Home button to go to the desktop.
Replaces 4-6 = Nook Color Tools => All Settings => Manage Applications
4) Tap the Menu button, then select the Settings option in the bottom bar that pops up.
5) Select the Applications option
6) Select the Manage applications option
7) Select the Running TAB to show all running applications.
8) Scroll down the list until you see Market, then select it.
9) Tap on the Clear cache option button
10) Tap on the Force stop option button. DO NOT tap on the Clear data button here under Market, it will break the process I believe!
11) Tap on the Back button to go back to the entire list of running apps.
12) Scroll the app list up until you see the Google Services Framework app & select it.
13) Tap on the Clear data button here first, then tap on the OK button to confirm the action.
13) Tap on the Force close button now.
14) Now tap on the Back button or use the Home button to go back to the main desktop screen.
15) If you have the Market app on your desktop, then tap on it to run it, or open the dockbar applet panel & run Market from there again.
16) You should get an error box that has "Attention", then states that "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
This is good & what seems should happen if all is going well.
17) Now just hold down the On\Off button & then use the shut down menus to shut down the device normally.
18) Now just turn the device back On normally, let it boot to the desktop ... when you get a working Wifi connection, try Market again ... hopefully if all went as it did for me many times, Market should work fully now & show apps that used to be missing!
Thanks, your awesome!

Its good , but having this option in main menu is better , isn't it? I think if this option present in hidden menu , we may add it ti main?
Not sure how you can add it to the main menu.
But u can simplifies the above steps by using Anycut to create a shortcut to "Phone Info" so that the "3g only" setting is only 2 taps away from home screen
good luck
l *#*#4630#*#* didnt work for me
i got it to work its *#*#4636#*#*
Thanks for the correction, had a typo

[Guide] MSL without computer or calling sprint

I was able to find the MSL without calling or using the MSL app.
I did an alteration to the following instructions, and was able to retrieve it after a couple attempts.
http://androidforums.com/htc-hero-sprint/117401-guide-easy-way-get-msl-without-calling-sprint-using-cmda-workshop.html
and the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=689470 thanks kyouko
I tweaked the instruction a little bit by presenting the msl input screen and exiting before returning to alogcat.
Instructions I used:
Fresh boot phone and await all apps/things (scripts, widgets, and misc) to load.
Launch alogcat
Clear out the log by pressing menu button and then select "clear"
Go to your dialer and enter ##DATA# or ##3282# which will bring up the DATA menu
Once the menu pops up just select "View" mode
At this point you will see a screen with 6 selections. Select "others".
Then select "work mode".
Attempt to input a random msl code. I used "000000". Of course it is incorrect. I then clicked cancel and then returned to the previous menu (work mode).
From here either press and hold the Home Key and select aLogcat if you ran it before, go to your tray and run Logcat.
After opening Logcat it will update, once it finishes press "Menu" and "Pause" the log.
Then scroll until you see a group of entries labeled "I/MSL_Checker" which should be green.
Locate the line that has "MSL result : " at the end of it (Or press Menu and Filter "MSL" )
And there you have it, your 6-digit MSL code without ever calling sprint or using a computer.
Again thanks kyouko for your instructions.
You can grab it right from the shell, getprop will list it (ril.MSL).
If you have busybox installed just getprop | grep -i ril.MSL
If busybox is not installed just getprop ril.MSL - it should be the number listed directly under. Or a simple getprop and scroll through the entire list.
The more options/choices, the merrier.
Me i use a combo of QXDM and CDMA WS. Yeah more complex, but ties into other stuff i use them for.
kyouko.. been a long time since i saw that username :O

Add Data Toggle[Sprint GS5]

I noticed it wasn't in our section, So I C+P'd OP's work. It was for T-mo's, But I added it to my GS5 on Sprint, Since it's not added to ours :/.
"
1) Download sqlite editor app from the Playstore. (Older free versions force close on 4.4.2)
2) Open the app and give it root permissions. It should populate a list.
3) Scroll and Tap the "Settings Storage"
4) Tap "Settings.db"
5) Tap "System"
6) Scroll down until you find "notification_panel_active_app_list", tap to highlight it. I noticed its a little hard to get it highlighted because it seems to want to highlight the one under it. So you might have to tap the one right above it to get it highlighted. Make sure its the notification_panel_active_app_list, and NOT the notification_panel_default_active_app_list. I picked the wrong one the first time and it didnt work.
7) Once it is highlighted tap the phones menu button.
8) Tap "Edit Record"
9) You'll see a list of all the toggles that are currently enabled to show in notification area.
10) At the bottom of the list add ; and the words MobileData then another ;. So it will look like this at the end. ;AirplaneMode;MobileData; Then press Save.
11) Reboot and you should have a data toggle now. You can now use the edit feature and move it anywhere you want in the list of toggles.
Note: After I edited it and rebooted the "notification_panel_active_app_list" moved closer to the bottom of the list. So if you go back in and dont see it scroll further down
