It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise

Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

I have a droid eris that is collecting dust and thought it would be a cool toy for my 2 year old. I know they have apps for toddlers and fun games that have a toddler lock built in.
My question is has someone developed or is someone willing to develop a rom that is just for kids. It would only need Wifi.
Just a thought. I wanted to see before I start attempting to develop one myself, which I really do not have time to do.
Thanksa
Try tazz's I-phoney ROM, it's like an I phone so it's perfect for a toddler! Lol!
Seriously, tho, any cm7 ROM would be good. For my young'uns, I disable the screen lock set the launcher to have only one home screen with all the games as shortcuts.

Thanks everyone. I found a kid mode app that works pretty good as an interface. I have the phone in airplane mode so it disables everything and I have wifi on. He is enjoying it right now. I will continue to improve on it and maybe eventually create my own interface.

Hi,
would you like to share which app you found usable?
Apart from airplane mode, you could also disable the dialer, e.g. freeze it with Titanium Backup or the like.
(I know your post is quite a few years old, but possibly you still remember the app).

I was hoping to find a Flash light app similar to the flash light on my HTC Desire HD for the Prime does anyone know of any that do work?
This is the one that's on my HTC but unfortunately it doesn't work on the Prime
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.terrynow.flashlight&feature=search_result
Also would be interested in discussing any other useful apps that others have found that work well on the Prime.
Edit: I found this flash light widget that does work on the Prime https://market.android.com/details?id=tw.abgne.flashlight&hl=en&rdid=tw.abgne.flashlight&rdot=1
Would be good to find one that looks like the HTC one.

have you tried the torch app (attached)? works as a good replacement for teh htc one on my inspire
wouldn't a torch or led flashlight app end up burning out the flash alot faster on the cam? You do know the built in video recorder has a torch mode also.

Normally the led in your phone, tablet, or any other devices will often outlive the device itself... leds are pretty hearty little guys.. I wouldn't be too worried about the flash if I were you

Sorta works. The screen flashy business is fine, but when I turned on the LED (which took me a few moments to figure out) I couldnt turn it off. Had to kill the app in the task manager to get the led to turn off.
Also, app forces portrait view.
This on my unrooted prime. Hope that helps

I came in to this thread to find new handy apps for my prime. However since the OP asked about a flashlight. I have widget, Widgetsoid, that I have on my DroidX and I tried on my TP and works even better on this. It has many cool uses but one of them is flashlight LED toggle. It also lets you put widgets in the Notification bar too. You can make quick contact widgets too. It's one of my first installs on a new device.

Hey all,
Does anyone know how to properly use the app Google Sky-Map with our device? I'm not really sure how to hold it correctly to where I'll get accurate results. How should I hold it in regards to the accelerometer? GPS Settings? Other recommendations?
Thanks for any and all help!
~ Zane
When I used it I just turned it into landscape and use like that also the app should be set to automatic somewhere in settings. Just hold it up to the sky and what ever it shows is behind your device.

Hmm, alright-- what do you mean it should be set to "automatic"? And does it shake the screen constantly for you as well, as in it's not fluid whatsoever and jumps around?
I appreciate the response!

I'm sorry to bump this post, but I recently downloaded Google Sky and initially had some finnicky problems with it, it kept bouncing with what direction I was looking at. Had to download "GPS Tools" app, reset the GPS and recalibrate the compass, and it seemed to work a bit better. Good luck!
Hello. I wrote an app to deal with a problem with the SPen on my N7000 Samsung Note. Not sure if it will work on other Note models but would appreciate someone trying it out and telling me if it works on their device as well. Please see my original posting here. Thanks

App Now On App Store
I have paid Google and have posted this app on the Play Store. I have also been at work on a new version that will incorporate a more complete UI (easy to be more complete that what is in this version), scheduled operations, and the ability to toggle auto-rotate as well as dominant hand (as some sources claim this helps with issues related to landscape versus portrait mode). Thanks to all for your feedback as this has encouraged me to go further!

Well that sounds unpleasant. Can I ask a few follow-ups? Did your phone prompt you to grant root access to Reset Spen? If so, did you grant it? Is your phone completely stock other than being rooted (for example, any kernel changes)? Finally (at least for now), what su program and version is installed on your phone? Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the info and screen shots. Right now I am stumped. Same su and settings as my Note N7000 but I have only ICS 4.0.4. I have a couple response from (what I assume to be and have emailed to confirm are) other Note II users (see one in this thread) and they have not encountered this. I will be following-up and apologize for the hangs.
Just tested it on the official MIUI rom based on touchwiz. App does its job but after the notification that the s-pen has been reset the launcher (stock MIUI home) freezes for like 15sec.
I'm not really bothered by this so i would say great job on this :thumbup:

Yikes! I appreciate the positive comments but I am not at all happy about this freeze. Can you tell me what su program/version is being used? When my app runs the first time, are you prompted by su to give permission (I presume so since you are getting a success)? Is there any message displayed from the su app or anything in the su app's logs? Anything in logcat?
Thanks

Thanks Promi! Unfortunately, I see no log entries from my app in that file. Did you try running the app (and enduring the freeze issue) which this was being recorded? I assume you did but since I see no evidence, I had best confirm this. I appreciate your time and help with all this and apologize for the problem.
So this is achieved, effectively, by toggling the dominant hand for the S Pen? How curious, very helpful! Doing so seems to have made a difference to my slightly less sensitive right hand margin.

Thanks once again. In the logcat recording, the only thing I see that looks possibly bad is a NullPointerException coming from the package com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget.WeatherClock which I take to be some form of widget on your home screen. When, in development of my app (my first one), my poor programming resulted in a NullPointerException this resulted in freezes followed by program stopped messages. I am not blaming anyone/thing. But I am wondering if there may not be some bad interaction between my app and this widget that causes it to NullPointerException? Is it possible to remove this widget temporarily and try again to see if the problem persists and, if so, get another catlog? Thanks!
My only weather widget is stock samsung nature ux weather/clock widget
After removing it, touchwiz still hangs.
i will remove unneeded things from my desktop/phone and try gen new catlog.

Well, I am likely grasping at straws here. But that is all I saw in the catlog that was untoward. The fact that I see nothing from my app in there is very disconcerting and confusing. Thanks again for all your time and help.
Reset Spen Pro Now Available
A low priced version of this app is now available on the Play Market. It offers additional convenience and other features including scheduled background operation and suppression of success messages. If the free version works on your device, I hope you will consider the Pro version. Thanks!
