there is no hw fm radio in X10.

for streaming I recommend XiiaLive

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CipryK:
for streaming i recommend winamp if you use custom froyo. if you use stock rom 2.1 then xiia is good.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrHassell:
Winamp FTW

+1 for Winamp - It's syncing with iPod, Android and the Shoutcast functionality is streets ahead of anything else. The amount of stations in Shoucast is staggering and some of the freshest sounds on the planet are found in there.

Indirectly I worked with eMusic at the turn of the century and only recently decided it was time to finally purchase Winamp based on the strength and quality of this over Songbird, iTunes and any other player there is really.. Amarok is good for Linux but Winamp really whips the lama's ass ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kayway27:
Hey all, I was thinking of getting a g2 after my contract is ready for it, and ive got a few questions. I'm not really a noob to all this rooting and cyanogen mod, so i might understand some of the technical jargon. i've rooted my g1 with cyanogen 5.0.8

If you use visionary to temp-root your phone daily, is there any chance for bricking it? Are there are any known problems with using visionary?

what are the main benefits with getting permaroot as opposed to just temp rooting it everytime? im not that interested in roms like cyanogen, gingervillan,etc

can you use setcpu with the stock tmobile g2 rom?

is the hinge really that bad?

does tmobile really monitor tethering? some say that the original g1 plan includes tethering but that just sounds absurd.

what exactly does busybox do? i have asked this several times but havent gotten a clear answer; i know that it has to do with linux, but thats about it :/

theres a section on the wiki about g2 radios; i dont understand what is the problem with the stock radio and why someone would want to flash another one besdies for the reason of getting a better signal, but this leads me to the question of 'doesnt tmobile update the radio? why would we need to manually update radio'?

what are the main differences between using visionary temp to permaroot and the adb method? if i were to use the visionary one, at what point could i enable s- off and hboot?

that being said, is there any news about a new release of visionary?

can't people just ask tmobile for a sim unlock code after 1 year? why do we have to root it and do it?

Looking at the wiki, i dont understand what md5 is when the wiki provides downloads and what it means

what is hboot used for and whats the difference between that and a bootloader (whats a bootloader btw)

can both temp rooting and both versions of permarooting work on 1.19 and 1.12?

thanks!

EDIT: can a mod move this to the right section? (Q&A)
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
I can only address a few of these questions and leave a majority of them for more intense power-users than myself.

~I suppose the main difference between perm and temp root would have to be persistence of your root. Once you reboot your phone, you lose temproot. With perm root, this is not an issue and you don't have to set up all your root permissions again and again, thus saving you time.

~No, you cannot use SetCPU on a non-rooted device. Stock rom? Sure, you just gotta have that sweet, sweet super-user sauce.

~Busybox, as far as I can tell, is a prerequisite package to getting titaniumbackup to work. Without the former, the latter will not function.

~The hinge is a matter of perspective. I found it to be rather loose however the merits of this device far outweigh the easily rectified hardware issue. Most users will not have a major issue with the hinge being somewhat lose, however as the stock spring loses oomph as it were, i can see how user dissatisfaction could increase; especially if they're uninformed as to how easy it is to rip the thing apart.

~You should be able to call up customer care and request a sim-unlock code at virtually any time, not just after 1 year. T-mobile is well known for not giving a flying rats ass if you unlock your sim. Keep in mind you will probably encounter some layers of low level phone jockeys in your attempt to do so. Be very clear that you want to be passed up to someone higher in the chain. Even better get a live rep on the tmo-usa website. I found that they're much more knowledgeable and competent.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ryandaneri:
No cant brick with temp root..the process goes with visionary: you have to gain temp root get an emulater from market type some su commands to get s-off then permaroot your device...now you can oc and have temp root when temp rooted but to flash roms/kernels/custom recovery and not have them erased opon reboot you have to have s-off...the hing is fine it is a lil lose but doesnt effect me at all.id imagine it would effect hip carrier users...bootloader is program to flash radios and things in the safest way..example when you flash a radio in recovery it just flashes in bootloader the file undergoes heavy file checks...(i think)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kayway27:
ahh, thank you so much! i really appreciate the clear cut answer; in regard to your setcpu on a stock rom, i forgot to mention that it would be temp rooted. So the main question is, could i use setcpu and over/underclock with a temprooted stock rom?
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
I can't really see that stopping you. You'll have to set it up every time at boot but it should work without to much issue.

If you don't mind me asking, why are you so focused on persisting your temp root? Perm rooting won't take much time..
[G2 and Desire Z General] kayway27:
for a few reasons;

I'd like to be able to return the phone under warranty without the hassle of unrooting and the risk of something going wrong

Also, I'm a bit afraid of adb to be honest xD I have terrible 'luck' when trying to read directions and something little always goes amiss.

There's always the prospect of gingerbread coming soon to vision, and after i get stock 2.3, i dont have that much of a preference for a rom, setcpu and a few other things that are contained in root only interest me.

i really appreciate all your help, thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
With the visionary+gfree method you don't need to really know adb to get anything done. there are some shell commands for terminal emulator but that is about it.

However I can totally understand your desire to be able to turn it back in under warranty. I'm moderately concerned about it myself, as assuming the ATT/Tmobile merger goes through I don't know if I will have to turn this device in for credit on a new handset or what.

As for the prospect of stock 2.3 coming to the Vision you're absolutely right. There is a prospect and I think the saga of the long stalled Froyyo update for the Vibrant should teach us to always be wary of whatever the carrier says. Admittedly the g2 is a legacy device in the eyes of many and should have excellent support. But I'll believe it when I see it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
Stock Rom for me neer went higher than 800MHz

Once I rooted my phone, I could not get the cpu to go higher than 800MHz. I think you might need a new kernel. For me the only things I needed rooting for are: screen shot (droidcap2) and over clocking (better response time).
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
As you are already starting to piece together: rooting, in of itself, does not enable overclocking. You need to flash a custom kernel which support overclocking.

Scroll down to "Kernels" on the following page and pick one. Kernels are ROM specific (particularly Sense vs. non-Sense), so be sure to read up and pick the right one.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916431

Then install an app such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner to change the maximum CPU clocking.

Titanium Backup (to backup apps and app data) and nandroid backups via Clockworkmod/ROM Manager are a couple other invaluable reasons to root. Aside from the more obvious ability to flash custom ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I was reading somewhere (I think an XDA post by a former Samsung employee) about how Samsung does not consider ROM updates a part of their contractual obligation to the carriers, and expects to be paid extra for them. Essentially, blackmailing the carriers for software support for their hardware, that they should already be supplying in the first place (and that most other manufacturers do). This was allegedly a big reason for the long delay in Froyo coming to the Galaxy S series.

HTC seems to be a little more agreeable in this respect. They have announced Gingerbread for the Desire Z sometime this spring. But if you're wanting an official GB ROM without Sense, that has not been mentioned yet, unfortunately.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khunny7:
One of the reasons I got my g table is to use it as a substitue for my labtop.

Even though my laptop is small enough, sometimes it is hard to cary it arround, as I keep it by my side 24/7. As I do most of my work on the super computer using ssh, I though the 'g tablet' can replace my laptop. USB keyboard seemed to work just fine until I tried control key on the keyboard. Control key simple does not work at call on g Tablet(Probably on all android system), and ctrl key is so critial to me as I use emacs! Emacs user would know what no control key means to emacs. Thus, I wonder if anyone knows how to utiliza the control key on the USB keyboard. Softkeybord can not be a solution considering I would use control key more than 1000 times per connection. Thank you.

[A7 General] jerirl:
Just got a new Elocity A7. Chose it because I wanted something light that I could use as an e-reader, web-surfer and photo storage device (needed a real USB port). I'm an experienced pc user, but don't know anything about Android.

Based on online reviews, I applied the Dexter mods v 1.41. Now I can no longer access my sd card. When I try, I get a message that the filemanager has stopped unexpectedly. The only choice I am given is a forced close.

Also, originally the usb drive worked fine. Now, when I plug in my thumbdrive, it says there are no files when I know there should be.

Assuming I can get this to work, I would like a decent e-reader and file manager.

The e-reader that was included, FBreader, can't open the epub file I downloaded from the library. (Yes, I tried redownloading to make sure it wasn't a download error.) What do you suggest?

Finally, I would like to transfer groups of photos from my digital camera to the sd card via the usb port. Is there an app for this? (No, I can't just put the sd card in my camera because it's an old digital SLR that used compact flash storage, not micro sd.)

I see this is an active forum and would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Hoe closely did you follow the install directions? Wipe/factory reset, clear cache?

Aldiko (I think that is how its spelled) comes stock and is a decent ereader

Did you apply the patches after you installed 1.41?

If not that's a good place to start.
[A7 General] jerirl:
Thanks. I downloaded Dexter's mods from this page dext3r.komodin.org/ (wouldn't let me include http since I'm a new member) and didn't see any patches there for version 1.41. Do you have a link to the patches?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Damani311:
Wondering if any of this can be changed/disabled:

1. After voice inputting text, whole input is highlighted so if i press back but only one word was misspelled the entire input self-deletes.......

2. When attempting to correct text, I get this large annoying box with a "Tt" or something in it that looks like a font selection, I need it to go away.

3. when I voice input "gets" and it only shows up with "get", then I select the space where the "s" needs to be added and it suggests the entire word "gets".......so it looks like :

get|

gets|getting

and if i select the change it becomes

getgets

it's about as bad as it gets........any help on fixing these three issues would be greatly appreciated

I know this isn't going to be much help but I had the same annoyances with Handcent, so I switched to Go SMS...no major problems just small things that bother a person OCD but not a normal person lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] darkpower05:
These problem might be keyboard base. I used Swype and didn't notice problem 2 and 3.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Damani311:
anyone else?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] studacris:
For 1 touch somewhere in the text to unselect everything and put the cursor where you want it.

2 the T box is a context menu for text editing: cut, copy, paste.

3 (on swype anyway thats all I use)select the word and double tap that will bring up the word choice window and selecting the correct word will replace it instead of just inserting it there with both of them.

Hope that helps...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zelendel:
Your best bet might be to ask in the Hancent forums. I also had a few issues with it so went to Go sms myself and am enjoying it alot.

[G Tablet General] weaselman:
To this forum and those that work hard I first want to say thank you very much. From rooting my Droid 1 and now my Droid 2 I came to find this site and love it.

I now have a Gtablet and followed the detailed directions for rooting. I installed Vegan 5.1 and loving my tablet. Followed the market fix and was just wondering will all the apps in the market show up? When I go to the market only certain apps show up. I have done the market fix 3 times and still the same apps.
[G Tablet General] Scott21:
I was able to get most of the apps to show up - Launcher Pro, Titanium Backup, Dolphin HD and a lot more. Some would only show up for me before the market fix - Firefox, Samurai 2, Vendetta Online, and some other Tegra games. I didn't look before I did the fix but I can't find Google Earth after the fix either.

I personally tried doing the Titanium Backup market fix as well as the one by clearing market cache and google services framework manually, stopping both, etc. - neither helped no matter how many times I did them to get any more apps to show up.

Not sure if anyone can help get more apps to show up on the market regularly like Firefox and Samurai 2.

[7 Mozart General] Sirstoner:
Hey,

As the topic title suggests I f'ed up and dropped my Mozart. Now the entire powerbutton on the little motherboard snapped off internally, I checked.

Any chance there is a softwares with which I can bind the cambutton to do the powerbuttons work, and even more important, get an icon for the cam somehwere on the phone :P

I really love my mozart, I've checked around the registry but couldnt find anyhting myself. Since i'm still learning I'd love some help.

Tx.
[7 Mozart General] eqzgkxokwa:
In settings -> camera, allow the camera to wake up the device. Use the button to wake up, and then press home. Set the screen lock to 30s, and use that to lock it.
[7 Mozart General] Sirstoner:
Hey mate

I thanked you for it, but I already figured that out myself. I got one step further even. I figured out that if the USB port gets a 100mA 5v current it will function as the "unlock" button. I put a few small batts in series and connected + and - of the USB PWR wires. Works like a charm :)

Still I would love to find some s/w which lets me change the h/w buttonmapping of the unlockbutton to the cambutton.

Oke lol problem solved. Plugging a headphone jack in the top also unlocks it. I will carry a cut off headphonejack with me at all times from now on. Epic lulz :D

Now all I need is a software lockbutton so I dont have to wait 30secs all the time.
[7 Mozart General] matrixcs:
why not just have the power button repaired.. its under warranty.. unless you broke the warranty.. anyway can you please post a picture of what had happened to the power button so I can see if that can be fixed or not.
[7 Mozart General] Sirstoner:
I repair phones myself, it cannot be fixed otherwise I would've fixed it :) The PCB is damaged around the powerbutton and short-circuitting the right pins won't turn it on any longer. I would post a pic if I could, but the only cam in the house is in the Mozart ;)

I wish I was a s/w dev now instead of a h/w guy cuz then I would've coded an app which would make me soft-lock the phone :P

Warranty doesnt work for me unfortunately. Lost the receipt.

If a viable solution doesnt emerge in the forums I'll have to learn the basics of programming for WinPhone 7 and code myself a quick and dirty app to fix it. C'est ca
[7 Mozart General] eqzgkxokwa:
The only way to do that would be to put Android on the phone, and find an app for it. :P Windows Phone 7 will not let any app do this (unless it was created by the OEM or Microsoft).

Have you looked into replacement parts, or is it purely with the circuitry? You could also try your luck with HTC- they may do it.
[7 Mozart General] Sirstoner:
The button snapped of but took a tiny bit of circuitboard. Seems to have taken too much for it to be fixed.

Do you know if Win Phone 7 will allow softwarebased locking of the screen? Before I'm gonna start learning .net and silverlight for nothing ;)
[7 Mozart General] eqzgkxokwa:
As far as I know, I don't think so. (Simplification coming up) The way .NET works (especially on this phone), is that it has a list of functions you can tell the phone to do. If a function isn't included, you pretty much can't do anything past that.
[7 Mozart General] joneb:
Orange Insurance

I did exactly the same yesterday. Dropped my Mozart and the power button doesn't seem to work. I've not pulled it apart to check but the button feels like its come away or snapped off the PCB.

I want to take the chance to praise Orange UK's insurance. I dropped the phone Yesterday (Sunday) at 14:30, I've been told by orange a new handset will be with me before 13:00 Today (Monday). That's, if anyone can't add up, within 24 hours!

Well worth £5 a month! I do believe Orange do a similar thing for PAGO customers. So it might be worth while just getting a PAGO sim (Free), topping it up with what it needs for the insurance and claiming for a new handset. Just an idea.

Notice for ALL Mozart users, don't drop your Mozart!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
I have an unlocked Atrix with Fido in Canada. I can't use the default Mobile Hotspot because it says I need to get it enabled through AT&T. I've tried Barnacle and WiFi tether and although they work as a wifi hotspot, the Xoom cannot see either network. I think both run as Ad-hoc networks and the Xoom does not see Ad-hoc networks.

Anyone able to get their Xoom connected through their Atrix using a WiFi hotspot? If so, can you let me know how you got it working?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThomasAstor:
Hi

I have the same question but for an Atrix and Xoom UK, connected with Virgin Mobile.

I have two good offers, one from a service provider, the other from Virgin.

My heart would go for the Atrix, but my brain says Samsung Galaxy S2. It is all about compatibility between phone and tablet, and their WiFi hotspot.

Which one to choose? They both come free, but are they compatible?

Atrix-Xoom or Samsung G2-Xoom?

And one more, is the Atrix compatible with macs running OXS 10.5?

Decision, decision..

Thanks

T.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
I sold my Atrix and picked up a Samsung GS II. The Atrix had amazing hardware, but I felt the software (Motoblur, crappy firmware and a locked bootloader) were too problematic too deal with. I've had my GS II for over four months and am pretty happy with it.

It works really well as a hotspot for the Xoom.
