I will ask the same question....

So many files and dont now ho to delete safely
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunbu:
If a folder reffers to an app u've uninstalled then its safe to delete it. Game files will be redownloaded but might be best to backup your save game files if you are likely to install it again. Most things you can delete worst is you'll lose app settings/game progress. Just back everything up just in case.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacosdg:
so you can delete everything?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
Yes, if you want to go to a new ROM, and not save any apps, its alright to even format it..

(but you probably want to save the photos you've taken, as well as the music stored on it. or am i wrong?)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iitreatedii:
Unlocking NAND will allow you to install a custom recovery and completely open your phone, the rooting will just alllow certain apps to run temporarily at that moment, basically rendering your time useless

My galaxy tab is brand new. I am trying to conect it in a STATIC IP WiFi conection. And it cant happen.

I conect it in dinamic IP wherever I want without any problems. But it doesnt work with STATIC IP.

Ive tried in two diferents places. And be sure about the IP number, all the times i tried it on my iPhone or Notebook and it works on both.

Can you help?

I have a rooted Nexus S (2.3.3, GRI54/I9023, bootloader unlocked, clockworkmod recovery installed, root verified through "su" in terminal emulator) and I'm trying to flash it with a stock system.img that I built myself (no modifications - yet).

To make the build, I followed the standard instructions for making a build found at source.android.com/source/download.html

To flash the rom, I connect the phone, boot with Volume up + Power, connect USB and type

fastboot flash system system.img

The response that is shown on the phone is

Invalid magic code 0x00000003

What does this mean? What's wrong?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
I use alcohol wipes that we have at work for cleaning computer screens and the like. After that take a lint-free cloth to remove streaks. Works like a charm!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
I buy "Electronic Cleaning Wipes" by Nice'n Clean at the all mighty wal-mart. You can use them on any electronics. They were a little pricey but worth every penny. I use them on my keyboard, xoom, and my daughters face very versatile.

The packaging is very similar to the attached only the electronics version has a monitor on it. Has a flap you can open and close. Keeps them moist. If you ever had kids they are like baby wipes or at least thats what the wife says, cause you know I'm a man and would never change a diaper thats womens work.

I kid people relax....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeManJayd:
Have you used them on laptop monitors, the plastic ones? Does the alcohol in it not mess with the plastic, I know it is not relavent for the Xoom as it has glass, but if I buy it for the Xoom will want to use it on my phone, HD tv, laptop, and everything.

Any ideas?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
I have used them on my laptop without issue. I would think that they would have considered that when they developed the product. Sure would be a lot of pissed of costumers when there monitor turned to hazz. But ya they seem safe. Says on the package "Alcohol Free" so no sense in eating them i guess.

Attached actual image of product:

One more thing .. don't stick them in your eye..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Alcohol should not be a problem. However, if you used nail polish remover (acetone, ethyl acetate) then you're in trouble. Of course you shouldn't immerse the plastic in alcohol but giving it a quick rub doesn't hurt. I used the wipes on LCD screens, keyboard, mice, trackpad etc. and everything is still working.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeManJayd:
Thanks guys.

Will try look for that product or the equivalent here.

Costco optical cleaning kit

You can buy a kit in the Costco optical department that has two really nice microfiber cloths and 2 spray bottles of gentle cleaner for $5. They even let you refill the solution bottles for free.

I use these items to clean my phone, xoom, TV, laptop, etc. Works great!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
Yes I use a microfiber cloth as well. The kind they give you with a screen protector which I never use anymore.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PengLord:
Most electronics manufacturers agree that a 50/50 blend of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol (90%+) works best (don't use rubbing alcohol, it has additives). Spray the solution on a microfiber cloth and clean just about any screen without worry. Never use glass cleaner on LCDs as many have a plastic coating that can fog from the ammonia.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeManJayd:
Hi. That sounds great. Do you have references for this information?

Don't mean to sound distrusting, just want to see who says it, because if it works, then this will be the solution for me. Because I am a Chem masters student, so isopropanol is really easy to get hold of for me, I can get the really pure stuff.

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeManJayd:
On a quick search, I found 7 different sites all recommending isolpropanol solutions for cleaning LCD screens specifically. So I believe you now. This is good news for me. Just need to buy little spray bottle, and figure out what a microfibre cloth is.

Are they the cloths that come with sunglasses and spectacles?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincentm:
What do you guys think about using kimwipes? If they're safe to use on laboratory microscopes, they should be fine with the coatings on these touch screens.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PengLord:
Typically yes. Most department stores sell microfiber dishcloths and dish towels. I use the dish towel so I don't have to was it as often when cleaning monitors.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
They are still not as lint-free as microfiber I find but they do work. You will still need some kind of alcohol or detergent to remove the smudges though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig4855:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wackymix:
Hello.

My Galaxy Tab arrives tomorow and i read here at XDA that the stock rom isn`t that good as some Rom`s cocked here.

So i`m new to this.

Can someone help me with a few links and steps of what shoud i do to try XDA rom`s?

I`ve seen that it`s 1st post on development "How to root" but what are the steps.

I`m mean whats the next step after root and if i`m not wrong i`ve seenthat you coud flash roms via recovery and via a program Odin. Can you give me a link on how to in both cases ?

Thank you very much and hope in good roms for Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
How about a little more info: What kind of tab is it? 7" 8.9" 10.1"? GSM or CDMA. Unbranded wifi only? Or carrier fixed like T mobile or AT&T?

Also before rooting or flashing you need to know if your tab has a locked bootloader or not. If it is you need to apply a certain patch.

Give us some info and links will be on the way.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wackymix:

It`s a GSM Samsung Galaxy Tab 7". i bought it from ebay Italy.It`s not sim lock.

Maybe not, I'd expect the Amazon version to turn paid soon (since it's Ad-free) now that the Market version is out.

Whats the scoup on this phone guys? Tuff to mess with as far as ROM's and Themes? Yes, I plan on doing many long nights of regrading to "catch up" on this phone but thought id ask anyways.

I want to thank you all in advanced for the learning's of this phone I expect to get from this forum

Aaron
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
this thread has a nice run down of all customs and kernels currently available for the Fascinate.

I personally find Superclean and Blackhole to be the 2 best choices for a daily ROM at this point.

As far as kernels go, any of the source built kernels are great. Just pick the one that is best suited to your wants/needs

Things to keep an eye on are Kaoscinate and JT's ASOP build. Once these have a few more fixes they may very well be better than SC.

Keep in mind its rather tough to fully brick this phone but that's not to say that you can't create MAJOR headaches for yourself. Always make sure you are flashing something for the VERIZON Fascinate and not the Telus or i9000.

Just need to learn where I can go from here.

Again, thanks guys!
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
I'm not totally sure which files you flashed but there's a good chance that Superclean/Blackhole use a newer leak and are a bit better. If you are happy with what you have so far however....

From here, you can try:

1. A custom kernel will allow you to use Backlight notification which is nice if you are used to having an LED. They also allow for undervolting and/or overclocking. Use a market app like BLN to control it once you have the kernel installed

2. There's a number of themes available though many of them are tied to Superclean and I'm not sure if they will run on any Touchwiz based leak.

3. Another thing to look into would be voodoo. The biggest thing in Voodoo is the "lagfix" which converts the filesystem from RFS to ext4 which gives a bit of a preformance boost. The custom kernels now have voodoo sound and color enhancements as well.
[Fascinate General] Aaron636r:

Welcome to the Fascinate! I went through the same learning curve, and love Superclean. Can't wait for more and hope that we don't lose too much with all these new phones coming out. But I'm loving the phone. How do you like it vs. the X?
[Fascinate General] xlinth:
Put the dx in a bag of dry rice for a couple of days might end up with 2 phones.
[Fascinate General] Aaron636r:
For rooting, rims and themes. The DX was fun and easy. Fascinate seems simple to a degree...just a learning curve. Much lighter phone and the screen clarity is far better than the DX.

Tried the rice trick. Even put it in our temp chamber at my company and got every ounce if moisture out of the phone. You'd never know it was totally emerged in water.

Am I correct in saying the Fascinate Dev community usnt as strong as most newer phones?
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
It's been a bit slow here due to VZW dragging their feet on the 2.2 update and lack of source until recently.

However, we recently got the kernel source so stuff has been really picking up. We have a ton of new kernels that have dropped over the last week and I would expect to see something similar for ROMS when the full source releases.

We have a bunch of great devs and many who are working behind the scenes to get us CM6 and CM7. Maybe the quantity of releases is a bit less, but the quality is undoubtedly there. Also, typically devs here don't just release a ROM because it's been rethemed/reskinned as happens on some other phones. Here, they are released as themes which can be flashed on top of the actual ROM.

Oh and a full EC10 ROM released today. I haven't tried it yet but it looks promising.
[Fascinate General] Aaron636r:
Im thinking I would have to agree. I flashed nitsuj17's ginger rom last night. Its great. I have to say the screen on this Fascinate kills the Droid X by leaps and bounds. I ran a movie (megamind) last night on it. Having flashed voodoo...WOW!! Amazing clarity.

I'm for sure sold on this phone. And quality ROMS over quantity is so far a great way to approach this phone.

Thanks for your input.
[Fascinate General] chefthomas99:
I am exactly the same boat as you. Returned the droid x for a fascinate.... This phone is amazing!

How did you get megamind on your phone?
[Fascinate General] Aaron636r:
Ripped it to about 800mb. Threw it on the SD card.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
Also, check out Allshare (should be preinstalled on stock and Superclean). It's pretty damn neat to stream stuff off of your PC to your phone.

Hi,

yesterday I updated my LG Optimus 7:

Zune sayed, that i was currently using the latest version (7008) of WP7.

I didn't want to install a VPN client and a dialup.

So i did it as described following:

1. Start Zune

2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone

3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)

4. Start the update search in Zune

5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).

6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.

7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

Should work for all devices that can be updated by the VPN / dialup solution.

If it fails at point 5, try other timepoints for disconnecting, or try it again disconnected.

Not sure if this helps but if it fails then disconnect the phone from usb wait a sec and then plug back in. This seems to help with the timing as I found that if it fails and you try again right away the "your phone is up to date" message comes up quicker.
