Morning Ramblers!
The left coasters are a-sleeping, Dr. Prince made a cameo appearance, Bob is MIA, Skyboxer is on a d..d....whatever, and the rest of us are anxiously awaiting either a new 9930 or Russ's new theme! (Or in pcgizmo's case, awaiting a new d..d....whatever).
I am knee-deep in cardboard boxes and with all the damp weather lately, the whole office smells musty and like worms. Everyone is packing around here because half the school is being renovated this summer and we gotta get out soon.
Got a question for those who use themes:
Has it ever happened to you that one of more icons do not change to the new theme? For example, my media folder doesn't change to the design of the icons for a theme I choose. I must go to edit the folder and use the generic one. But then, when I open the media folder, none of the icons are in there. If I do a batt pull, they all line up on the home screen.
Has this ever happened to any of you or is it just the ghost in my machine?
05-19-11 08:19 AM - Jaydee, I'm not 100% sure of what you mean that the icons don't change with the theme, so perhaps its never hap'd to me
BUT i can tell you, when i set a new theme and then do a bp, yes, all my media and IM icons are splashed all over my homescreen. I have to pick them up and put them back into their folders.
I only access my media from my QL menu, so as far as the empty folder, i can't help you there, sorry hum
05-19-11 08:52 AM - OK yes, that all happens to me as well. So how do I access pictures from QL? Can I set a shortcut just for the pic icon?Jaydee, I'm not 100% sure of what you mean that the icons don't change with the theme, so perhaps its never hap'd to me BUT i can tell you, when i set a new theme and then do a bp, yes, all my media and IM icons are splashed all over my homescreen.

Nevermid: WooHoo!!!
I got it! Now why didn't I think of that before? Geez! Thanks Pink!Last edited by jaydee5799; 05-19-11 at 08:58 AM.
05-19-11 08:55 AM - Jaydee, open QL, menu key, add items, 'application', open that tab and scroll down to 'media'. there you can choose which media function you want, in my case i added "media-pictures" so when i click QL,M, it takes me to media, when i click that in QL, it'll open my picture library
keep in mind if you just did a reboot and we get that whole indexing lag sh!t, it'll still happen with QL as well and take forever to open regardless.05-19-11 09:00 AM - There is a section in theme builder where the developer, should they wish, can change the order and placement of the icons. They can create / delete folders and move icons to different folders etc. Personally, I *never* touch this for obvious reasons, but if a developer ever did then you may see what you are experiencing.Got a question for those who use themes:

Russ.05-19-11 10:00 AM - Russ,speaking of themes, would you believe betwn the 16th and today, i've gotten rid of 9 themes off my bb
mostly ones i prob won't use anymore and 2) i felt the need to "clean house"
Thanks for that information. I wonder if the icons are hiding somewhere else? I will look next time and see.
Pink, I deleted 4 yesterday myself! I have to keep making room as I add new themes. Sometimes I go back to the ones I delete and a few have NEVER gone off my BB...Newberry, for instance. Reflex, Ciel, Clockr, Adler, Heartbeat, Luno etc. The classic ones stay no matter what else I try...05-19-11 11:00 AM - yes I know you "need" to make room for all the reviews you do....I, on the other hand, have no excuse! LOL. Idk, I'm just in one of "those moods" that I feel the compelling need to clear out things. Even though I got rid of the 9, I think I still have about 26 on here(that includes the default theme) and even still I've got this urge to just clear out more.
I did of course, like you, keep my absolute faves

As I posted yesterday I strolled into one and tried out one of the 4G T-bolts. You know, where I find these devices excel at is web browsing. It doesn't get any faster as of today. But I see all the other areas that for me personally it fails at. Battery doesn't last, virtual kb sux bad, trying to get thru the ui and negotiating menus is a challenge. I'm sure there is tons more if I spent more time with one. People in my age group still like real kb's and ease of use, along with good batteries since we forget to charge them. I do love the browsing tho, that really rocks it for me. But then again, I can do it later on my laptop. Still..
..that tempts me. Another thing the t-bolt has is really nice flash integration. But the over all learning curve is large for me and I know it will be there waiting for me to digest and learn while my BB is already a done deal, fully learned and good to go. There may very well be a day when that wonderful browsing experience wins me over and I'll just have to eat that learning curve, but not happening today. If the bold touch should by some chance disappoint, I might be inclined to rethink things, also if a t-bolt type of device came out in a BB bar form then we could be talkin'. You know tho I hear alot of freeze-up tales of woe on android forums with the various devices. Another possible issue to worry about.
I can completely understand your urge tho Paul, and one of these days it will win out.
Gonna shut up now before the Queen throws me in the android dungeon05-19-11 01:06 PM - Nope, the Queen is allowing all talk of d..d..(whatever) because she has no hopes of saving pcgizmo from it.Gonna shut up now before the Queen throws me in the android dungeon
What good would putting him in a dungeon do?
Go ahead, get your new devices. Next year maybe Hamster and I will upgrade too! Right Hamster? I think she has longer to wait than I do...
That's ok. The Queen can rule over an empty castle. Don't worry about her!
Then she can run through the hallways, screaming at the top of her lungs!!!!05-19-11 01:16 PM - LMAO!!!!! I'll be running around with you!!!Nope, the Queen is allowing all talk of d..d..(whatever) because she has no hopes of saving pcgizmo from it.

Yes - I have to wait until Nov or Dec 2012!05-19-11 01:22 PM - I agree with this. Back when I was using GSM I was able to try out lots of phones by buying, using, selling and buying more Always looking for the next, best one. It was worse than my BB addiction which is nothing comparatively speaking.
When I landed on verizon 2 years ago I still had 3 or 4 devices I would constantly swap out all the time. Not as easy as swapping sims, but not to bad.
I'm actually looking at getting another device and keep the BB until the 9930 drops. While I'm certainly not well to do, I could easily afford a second phone at full price. Try it for a bit, if it doesn't cut it I can resell it and only lose some $$. I'd keep the Bold as a fall back.
I'm like you , getting bored and looking for new horizons to explore.
That learning curve can be half the adventure as long as the WTF's can be kept to a minimum.
Sorry Keith I'm no help, just wanted to say I have not had this problem. I know there was some BIS issues folks were talking about for the past few days that included email issues. I have never touched my email setup since the first day I set it up. I have 3 accounts and they have always worked fine. I have upgraded and changed my os a few times in the past couple weeks the latest two days ago and everything came back as it should.Last edited by cbreze; 05-19-11 at 03:07 PM.
