idk how i turned on this grey box that tells me every move my phone makes...its really annoying. If I switch from any app back to my home screen it will say com.teslacoilsw.launcher, if i click on my text msg app com.android.mms, so forth so on. These updates tell me when my phone has changed cell location, and everything else. I cant click on the box, it just gets in the way when im using my phone. This wasnt here to begin with so i know i must have done it somehow just dont know how i did it. I have tried boost, and sharp and nobody is able to help so this is my last option aside from taking my phone back to factory which i really dont wanna do pls help.

i want to get up and start using mobitv since i just got it..
i opened it the first time and it loaded good and asked me to update in order to continue so i did.
and now everytime i open it up i get a blank black screen, and sometimes a notification saying that i need a connection to get started. but i have my wifi and my data connections already connected so i dont see what the problem is.
anyone care to help? i tried searching but all it gave me was threads about asking where to download mobitv
reboot the phone.. or did you do it already?
yeah i already did countless times.. lol this is like the only app that isnt working for me for some reason.
umm.. i think you should take back to tmobile.. and tell them the application doesnt work, dont just stay quite talk to them they should solve the problem or they will give you a new one.
so i should take it back just cause mobitv isnt working? theres gotta be something else lol.
well i don't know about you..but ill want my hd2 without any problems i don't want to mess something up they'll do the job for me. but i don't know maybe somebody in here know what is going on with you hd2.

I had the same problem. Do a HARD reset, (see wiki). This should fix your problem.

Sorry, dual post.
I downloaded "Mr. Call Block" to block a credit card that wasnt mine that wouldnt stop calling me, it worked great, but after I updated it, everytime it would block a call, it would cause "android.phone" to force close and I couldnt make calls, use the internet, wifi, or text, I couldnt even compose a text. I would click on the spot to bring up the keyboard, the keyboard would come up but the text box would be dark grey and I couldnt type.
This was only solved by a soft reset. So after a a day or so I uninstalled it, but the next time that number called, I still got the programs pop up saying call block followed by all the problems. I dont know what to do. I have re-installed and re-uninstalled it a few times. I have ran Look Out to see if it left a virus.
I dont really want to hard reset, I do want to Root, but it seems like a very involved process that I dont want to screw up.
AHHHHHHHH
I was going to say if you had a ROM just reflash the rom in clockwork... but stock not sure since you cant just reflash.
Maybe I will try contacting the Dev of the app
I have never had this problem before or read about it. I keep wifi on at my house cause it's faster. Well tonight I went to plug my phone in and I took it off wifi but my 3G won't come up. I've tried everything. Pulled battery out, went to airplane mode and then back tried to update prl. I can't get my 3G to come back on. I have an app called quick settings that I've had for a long to turn off my 3G to save battery and it just says connecting.I've deleted the app and downloaded it back again and nothing. This has never happened to me before. How can I get. My Internet back? I am really lost on this one. It's like it's locked up and wont come back on. Thanks. By the way I have just about full reception.

You might have to do a factory reset. Before you do wait a bit and see if anyone has other ideas.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm on 2.1 and rooted but nothing has changed on my phone for at least 2 wks. No new apps or anything. Will factory resetting break my root?
Wait a while. This has happened to me on occasion and it has nothing to do with anything I did.
Check with sprint to see if there's a data outage in your area. Or you can try traveling to a different location to see if you get 3g somewhere else and then update your profile/prl from there. I had the same experience with a similar app. Went to an area where I got 3g, called sprint, and they updated my profile. Try doing that to see what happens.
I let it try it all night last night and woke up and still no 3g at the top. i can turn wifi on and it works fine. it just wont bring up the 3g icon and when i look in the quick settings it is greyed and says connecting. ill wait til i leave the house today and try it later. i just dont think its gonna work it just seems like the 3g is locked since it wont even displays the icon but hopefully im wrong thanks for the help guys. i know what you mean b3nny but my phone wont even displays the 3g icon at the top. i would assume if there was an outage it would still display the icon at the top.m,y wife has a hero and her internet is fine so no outage. thanks for trying to help but i think a factory restore is my only option. im about ready to go get to sprint and get another epic.
if i go to sprint and show them my phone i have insurance but this should go thru the manufacturers warranty. would i get a new or refurb one? i know if you use the insurance you get a refurb but what about the warranty? its not only this reason but my phone freezes a lot and will back out of an application for no reason at all. im just done with this one. there has to be one that works better than this one.thanks
Is your 3G Data enabled in the settings?
Not completely sure if it applies to 2.1 as I am running 2.2, but try and go to: 'Menu->Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile networks' and see if the box is checked by '3G Data'. Again, I am running 2.2, so I dont know if it is exactly the same, but worth a check.
so i was wondering right, with all the security installed on my phone
like patern lock etc, will the founder of my phone be able to unlock my phone and use it?
sadly i just lost my phone n hopefully the device will just be a brick to him after he switch it off

That depends on how tech savvy the finder is, simply trying to brute force through the pattern lock wont get them anywhere, trying to break the encryption wont either (i recall a news story where the FBI had a similar issue getting into a phone deemed evidence). But that said with the vibrant specifically i can think of a few ways to circumvent the security using CWM or Download mode.
Agreed with post above there are a few things you can do to sorta bypass the lock screen lol

Yeah, I've done it for a friend, he forgot his pattern and was asking me to fix it
He had some Huwaei phone, not rooted etc.
Just had to find the right combo for Recovery mode (googled it) and soon as I did that, just reset it to factory, and it was all good.
Did you have data or anything?
do this

press install, if the phone is on and connected to a data/wifi it will auto install the app, then you'll get location email on your GMAIL that tells you where your phone is.
You can also text locate (after the app is installed) and it'll do the same email thing.
I recommend using lookout mobile security. You can use it to locate your phone. Try the above post and if you locate it install lookout.
SGH-T959 ICS Gummy 1.2
wow, thats awesome!
ive disable my old simcard tho, im guessing the "locate" txt wont work anymore yea?
so will wait for the email from Plan B and see if its able to tell me the location.
just a quick question, i click on the link xriderx66 gave n install it, google is able to detect my phone model n i click install, but till now it hasnt installed yet, does it means the lost device couldnt be installed?

Are you sure someone took your phone?
It could have lost its battery, so it can't install, or it's not connected to a data/wifi and it can't install.
yea, im pretty sure I lost it. Long story short, someone pinched my phone while i wasnt aware and on the way home I realize it missing n used my friends mobile to call. couldnt get thru.
most probably that pick pocket having a hard time switching on the device after pulling out the battery.
lets say he manage to go into recovery mode n wipe my device, will i still be able to remotely install Plan B into it?
If he wiped it, then the phone lost its association with your gmail account (for installing apps remotely).
oh really? then i think my phone is history now.... thief these day are good.
i install the PLAN B on my new phone, but there isnt any new mail in my gmail. i even used my friends mobile to txt "locate" to my phone number, nothing pops up in my gmail.
is there a step im missing here?
Not really. If it installed and the app worked, it would work, I've done it to my own phone before.
Hello all,
I'm new to this community and to a rooted android. One of the things that's been bugging the living crap out of me is this icon in my status bar that is there most of the time, but it randomly goes away without me doing anything. It looks like a cloud of some sort, a cyclone maybe. It wont let me attach an image because I'm new, but I will try to post a link. I've been killing apps left and right trying to get it to go away but nothing I do makes a difference.
I have an AT&T S7 Edge running 6.0.1. I've never seen this icon before rooting. Let me know if any additional information is required.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads!
Picture can be found here: imgur.com/8ykXl2x
its the RCS icon, you can turn it off by going to settings>applications>messages setting>advanced messaging> turn used advanced messaging off
theres a zip you flash after rooting that takes it away. look in the root thread you used to root it on here. you dont have to turn anything off.
I don't get this icon at all. Even with it turned on. I do get video calling etc. However AMS is not working at all. I send a message to my son's g4 ( same network etc.. ) and nothing. I did work 1 day, never since. I've reloaded my phone, reset it.. everything. When I leave the setting on, it also mucks up any image file i send to my wife. She either get's nothing, or 1/2 the image ( she is on an iphone - So I don't expect AMS to work, but I do expect the image to get there at least )
