I been having issues with my htc thunderbolt off and on. But it seems the last two days it have been getting more common. My phone has been going black, than restarting. Sometimes it goes black, can't do anything than pops back up. Today I can't get text messages. I can send them, but can't get them. My friend and mom can't send me anything. Should I go to the Verizon store and replace it?

If I need to paste text from another app in my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy SII, O2, Jelly Bean), like from Google Keep or Docs, into a text message it tends to convert from an SMS to MMS. This leads to a charge for me as my SMS messages are included in my tariff but I have no allowance for MMS messages. I presume that this might be something to do with character encoding or other formatting data that is pasted in, but that is only a guess.
Is there any way to stop short messages from being converted to MMS messages like this:? I couldn't find any 'paste clipboard as plain text' option in Android Jelly Bean.
How to achieve a black background popup window and white text color?
This is on Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.
Images attached.
I'm on JellyBlast 3 (Gingerbread, I guess) with my Galaxy Y and I'm a little unhappy with the theme that comes with JellyBlast. I have fixed some issues but I cannot figure out how to avoid black text on dark background in Alert Dialogs. This issue makes some dialogs of the hololauncher and some other apps completely ureadable if you do not turn the screen to full brightness (what I normally don't do).
What I've found out so far: In the Gingerbread source the Theme for the the Alert Dialog is hard coded:
Code:
protected AlertDialog(Context context) {
this(context, com.android.internal.R.style.Theme_Dialog_Alert);
}
I'm not yet allowed to post external links... I found the above on github in the gingerbread branch in platform_frameworks_base -> core -> java -> android -> app -> AlertDialog.java
The hololauncher uses the AlertDialog.Builder class to create the Dialogs and it uses a TextView Widget to display the text. The layout looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceLargeInverse" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="?android:listPreferredItemHeight" android:drawablePadding="14.0dip" />
Here you see, that the textAppearanceLargeInverse definition of the theme is used as text color. And the theme should always be "Theme.Dialog.Alert" since this is hardcoded.
I assume that com.android.internal.R.style.Theme_Dialog_Alert refers to the Theme.Dialog.Alert styledefinition in the ROMs framework-res.apk. So I added the following line to the styles.xml in framework-res.apk -> values/styles.xml inside Theme.Dialog.Alert:
Code:
<item name="textAppearanceLargeInverse">@style/TextAppearance.Large</item>
I hoped that this would overwrite the definition of textAppearanceLargeInverse for the AlertDialog so that I will not use the inherited definition of the dark theme. The color that's referenced by @style/TextAppearance.Large is (contrary to ...Large.Inverse) is #FFFFFFFF or at least close to it.
Unfortunately this does not work and I do not understand why. I got that far to figure all this stuff out and my phone seems little impressed by my effort. It still displays dark text on dark background.
Everywhere we go her D2 shows more reception bars than my thunderbolt...yesterday we were at the mall and my phone had no bars while she had like three. I took mine to a Verizon store and ask them so they wanted to exchange it with a refurbished one but I told them to just change the Sim card and see if that would do the trick but nothing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo my aunt recently gave me her old HTC Thunderbolt. Ive tried doing a factory reset through settings and also through the volume down/power button but neither worked. Every time i try to do a factory reset it brings me back to the boot loader screen and says ***LOCKED***SECURITY WARNING***. I also tried loading the stock RUU onto the phone but it says *MAIN VERSION IS OLDER and wouldnt accept the RUU I put on the SD card. How I can get this phone to factory reset? Or where I can find a stock RUU that will work? Phones current software: Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich Bootloader screen says:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been toying around with backtrack and wep cracking. I was wondering If you emulate Backtrack on your android which I have 5r2 running on it right now. Is it possible with the wifi chip to inject packets and put the device into monitor mode.
[URL] .....
There you can make drivers for linux. Plus this makes me wonder more: (Get Monitor Mode/Injection/Aircrack working on Galaxy S Devices) [URL] ....
Plus I read the g1 can possibly do it, so would the thunderbolt be able too? if so. So where do I start?
My Main point is if Android is base off Linux, why isn't there aircrack for android?

Im not too interested in a whole bunch of customize, I'm just interested in being able to use some root-only apps.

However if you goto google play and click OPEN it runs fine or if you hold HOME and goto recent Apps it opens right up, what could possibly make it not open from the launcher? it only happens on HTC Thunderbolt works fine on 10 other phones so far.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to control an Android device with a Bluetooth headset? I have a friend with a Windows phone who can listen to and reply to text messages as well as initiate calls through his bluetooth headset without touching the phone. It's very very cool, and I don't know that my Android has an answer to it. I would love to be able to do this on my Android and to use Evi through my bluetooth device. I have FlexT9 from Nuance, but it seems to require that I speak into the phone's microphone, as does Evi.
I have a rooted HTC Thunderbolt running das Bamf (don't remember the version) and a Plantronics Voyager Pro headset (same headset my friend with the Windows phone uses to control his phone).

I'm looking around for a textmessage app that allows me to send/recieve texts (like the default app) but also allows me to backup and store (maybe online) my messages.
For example:If I would buy a new phone, I just needed to redownload the app and restore my texts.
Is something like this available in the Play Store or not?I've looked around but the only things I could find were textmessage apps with some added fuctionality (fancy design and emoji-stuff), so not really the thing I'm looking for.
I know the stock Messaging app has an option to remove text messages over xxx messages but it doesn't work. I have 700+ text messages with some of my contacts and I'd like something to automatically remove all the messages over 200, i.e. I'd like no more than 200 texts per contact.
