You might have the webtop hack or other hacks that are blocking the update from installing. I recommend you look at which hacks you have, and restoring the original files.

A factory reset will only erase current data and maintain what software you are currently running. Basically getting you no where. If you have a rooted device, follow Ririal's guide to retaining root. If you do not wish to have root then proceed to OP guide.

HI, i just bought my mom the woot gtablet and have since put cm7 on it, the majority of it works great, but Pandora force closes every time, as well as maps (but Ive think Ive read maps doesn't work?), and Ive also put the tnt western keyboard on it as well and it force closes as well. im not sure i want to flash another rom to it cause my mom just got use to this one, and she doesn't like change...

anyway, thanks for your help in advance
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcpl:
Do you have CWM installed? If you do, try booting to it, then do Fix Permissions. That seemed to get rid of FCs I was getting a couple of days ago.

Other than that, did you re-partition 2048/0 before installing?

Jim
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamontryst:
I have done the fix permissions and no I didn't repartition, I was following the guide on the cyanogen mod wiki and it didn't say anything about it...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamontryst:
well, ive repartitioned 2048/0 and fixed permisions several times... but pandora is still not working, and now, when ever i try to mount the sd, it stalls and i have to restart the machine, im thinking of just switching roms, what rom do you prefer? keep in mind, my mom is not tech saavy, all she wants it for is pandora, the kindle app, talking tom cat, etc so i dont need anything to intense
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
Im looking at getting a Xoom as a computer replacement, I know it can be paired up with a bluetooth keyboard, but does anyone know if you could pair a magic trackpad with it?

Ideally, I'd like to have it docked to my tv and be able to control it with the keyboard/trackpad combo. Anyone have a trackpad and Xoom and want to give it a shot for me?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PengLord:
There is no mouse/trackpad/trackball/cursor support in Honeycomb. Yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Asus tranformer has a support for trackpad as seen on some videos. I wonder how they did it on Honeycomb...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PengLord:
They added support, note "Yet". Once the Transformer comes out, there is a good chance that cursor support will be added to the Xoom. I try not to be too theoretical since we don't know anything about any Honeycomb device other than the Xoom at this point.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindiboy:
I just came in to post a new thread asking if the Logitech DiNovo Mini works on the Xoom...and found this thread.

Does anyone know?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinkingled:
I know I am late to this - but just in case anyone else was wondering - both Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad work fine with Xoom with the 3.1 update - have not tried with 3.0.x. Trackpad gives a mouse pointer as expected but tap to click doesn't work - you have to press the track pad to click. Overall works good enough for my light use.

Could it be possible to write a new Input Method to deal with the Magic Trackpad?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilepak:
any update to this?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
The Xoom does have mouse support--I haven't used anything other than my MS bluetooth mouse, but that works just fine.

I'm looking for a remote to actually control my phone over bluetooth. I ride a motorcycle and can't control the phone with gloves on so I'm looking for something to give me play/pause/skip/volume with hard buttons. If anybody has any ideas I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] KrisPeezy:
I know my motorola's had buttons dedicated to music control. I think the model # were ht820. they were a2dp stereo bluetooth headphones. those models are pretty old, so you can probably find some newer a2dp headphones that have what you want.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Azag Thoth:
i have had this pair of stereo bluetooth headset for about a year and a half, i absolutely love them they sound great they have easy hard controls and battery will out last most droids, you will charge your phone 2 or more times before having to recharge these, they have buttons for startting voice activated call,hang up,mute, volume up/down, song skip forward/backward, play/pause,base boost, and one more great feature is they have a option that allows you to turn on an open mic so you can more easily hear what going on around you when your music is paused or not on a call. they cost $80 when i got mine now they are about half that.

here is a link, i got mine from cincinatti bell store...

[Droid Incredible Accessories] rubber soul:
i'm pretty sure the incredible supports headphone controls, so you could buy headphones with controls built into them for media. usually these are small buttons directly attached to the headphone cord.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkusPO:
Who of you are going to be pissed when / if you find out that, as the hardware is encrypted, you'll won't be able to put any roms on it? Under UK law at least, you won't have any justification to take it back for a refund.
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
i wont be pissed i just want a good new phone if its unlocked all the better...
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
When I purchase a phone it is done purely on the following:-

1. What hardware and software is currently available.

2. How it works in it's native form.

3. Whether or not the manufacturer supports the device.

Okay, two out of three's not bad and good enough for me but having an ability to alter/tamper outside of it's base/core never comes into it's purchase.

I'm sure this is what most people will purchase the phone for.

It's a great phone, simple as that.
[Galaxy S II General] sindrefyrn:
What? Is the HW encrypted? What did I miss?
[Galaxy S II General] k1000716:
I'm with Beards on this one. It's a great phone and that's why I've pre-ordered one.

How is it possible to not care about locked bootloader? But i guess it won't be locked?

[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
Is it locked down?

On Device Encryption

The Samsung GALAXY S II is the first Android smartphone to adopt powerful encrypted hardware, minimizing the use of security software and applying encryption technology to the hardware itself, greatly accelerating security protection and achieving superior performance.
[Galaxy S II General] DKMIK:
I can not see why Samsung would care, they are selling hardware not software, so a open sgs2 will sell more.;)
[Galaxy S II General] MarkusPO:
I think wrong. i'm sure 75% of people buying it won't care. however if samsung can make a device that's locked down and secure and it catches on for this reason, it could tempt many large businesses to buy the s2 in hundreds if not thousands per company. that's going to add up to a lot of sales.
[Galaxy S II General] EinPaul:
I don't know very much about ROM development etc. but couldn't it be that the encryption is totally transparent for accessing the ROM via "normal" software and only exists to protect the ROM against being built out and accessed manually?
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
this would be bs and i will be pissed.. it would probably mean no tweeking like deleting crap you dont need in system/app or replacing apps with tweeked version.. i may cancel my preorder
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Encryption is something else than locking it down. Just wait ya'll...
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
Hardware encryption does not mean locked bootloader. Samsung has not yet commented about the bootloader locking status. I want to believe that it won't be locked because it is fighting against the whole idea of Android. If I want to do exactly what big brother says I will buy an iPhone.

If the bootloader is properly locked, we won't be able to open it even here in XDA. Motorola Atrix has a locked bootloader and you can go to the Atrix forum here and see yourself how many custom kernels there are. (None)
[Galaxy S II General] silverwolf0:
We all know the direction of Android is completely based on Google's whim, and it has become increasingly apparent that in order to stabilize and defragment their evergrowing and unwieldy ecosystem, they must set some standards and lock some things down. Google has already told phone manufacturers that future Android changes that the companies make must be approved by Google or they won't release early source code to devs who don't comply. They have realized they won't be able to compete with closed and stable systems like iOS, RIM, and WP7 with this "open" approach. What makes you think custom ROM from hacker A will get any blessings when the likes of Samsung or HTC will have to go through Google's scrutiny? I look forward to seeing more locked bootloaders.
[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
It might be like that but as a customer I don't care about the "Being able to compete with iOS"-angle. If I can't modify my phone I am leaving it to shop. Maybe in the future the Google phones are the only ones without locked bootloaders.

Now that I think of it, the locked bootloader has nothing to do with the Android fragmentation. It only prevents developers to modify their phones. Phone manufacturers can still do their Touchwiz and Motoblur things. Maybe this locked bootloader thing has something to do with operators (especially in USA)?
[Galaxy S II General] walk.away:
In the UK, if you've preordered it online, there is an EU law on distance selling which covers internet purchases. This enables you to get a refund within 7 days. Whether you think it will be cracked after these 7 days will be up to you, but xda should provide an insight into how hard it will be to do upon release.

[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
I take it we all have read this from Google

It talks about how Google are tightening it's grip on Android.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkusPO:
if returned in an unopened state iirc and then postage doesn't have to be refunded.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkusPO:
google tightening it's grip on android is one thing, but manufacturers locking devices down for hardware encryption is a double-edged source. it has its uses, but it also means that - let's be honest - fanboi's can't use custom roms.

android is open source so it could essentially be forked, but that's still useless for phone users where android runs on top of drivers made by manufacturers that are for encrypted hardware.

non-encrypted hardware - the s plus isn't encrypted right? - would be easier to put your own os on, but with the future of nfc payments, would you really trust a custom rom?

i certainly wouldn't, unless i made it myself.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
That is my logic. As a surgeon with patients and records to think about you have to be excessively careful in what goes on your phone is protected to the MAX.... and some.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Cyanogen allows you to build your own in 20mn and from full sources. You can audit it. What is not to like!?
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
In my view that is a good thing, you get Google to avoid companies such as Samsung from cluttering the device with useless stuff and concentrate on code which works.

And this is in no way related to the boot loader control of the device.
[Galaxy S II General] MarkusPO:
you do know, that with paying google lots of money, they'll most likely overlook "bloatware"... and besides a partnership between sam and google is required, samsung make the better screens at this point in time and could again partner on a nexus phone in the future. google saying no to samsung would be an impossibility.

google's reason for wanting to see the code: so that manufacturers don't port honeycomb to a phone...pure bs if you ask me. it's almost an insult to our intelligence. samsung probably paid lots of money to google to stay ahead of the tablet game by delaying the codebase. what is scary is google actually has. it makes me wonder what else will be put into the code of android that is going to be much quieter.

as with most things, it's all about the money.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Indeed, I failed to make my point right, I didn't actually mean avoid but more prevent, as in, it is fairly sure they will still partner, what I meant is that (from inside source) they will try to make it better and cleaner for other companies using Android. Think of it as a kind of QA :
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
It seems to me, it's some sort of pro-business security.

People see the word encryption and are having a heart attack.

Relax.

[Galaxy S II General] Rytkonen:
People think that everything means locked bootloaders. Hardware encryption does not mean locked bootloader and even the tightening grip of Google does not mean locked bootloader. :D Google does not want the phone manufacturers to put their crap to the top of his precious Android. That has nothing to do with locking bootloader down to piss of developers.
[Galaxy S II General] snoopstah:
Can I insist that consumers who cancel an order within the

cancellation period return the goods as new or in their

original packaging?

3.58 No. Consumers are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods

while in their possession as discussed in paragraph 3.44. The DSRs

allow consumers to examine goods they have ordered as they would

in a shop. If that requires opening the packaging and trying out the

goods then they have not breached their duty to take reasonable

care of the goods. In these circumstances you cannot insist that

consumers return the goods as new or in their original packaging.

You may ask consumers to return goods with the original packaging,

but you cannot insist on this.

What specifically do I have to refund to the consumer if

they cancel?

3.48 The DSRs require you to refund any money paid by or on behalf of

the consumer in relation to the contract to the person who made the

payment. This means the full price of the goods, or deposit or prepayment made, including the cost of delivery.

[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
That is why I put up that link on Google tightening it's grip on Android.

It is meant to show there is nothing here to do with boot loader info from Google.

Merely to get manufacturers to stop building machines with unnecessary code.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
The hardware encryption being talked about here relates to data stored on the device it doesn't mean that the bootloader is locked. This a great security feature especially for business.
[Galaxy S II General] teh_pwnage:
^^ +1 to this
[Galaxy S II General] MouFou:
I also think the "encrypted hardware"-thing on samsungs site is about encrypting YOUR stored data on the device because i read something about the s2 being the first phone to meet the business standarts for active sync/exchange by providing storage encryption (just as win mob 6.1 already does .. so no really great feature .. but ok for android it is maybe new)

but i wonder anyway if it has a locked bootloader too .. would be even saver for the companies :(

i hope samsung not to do this .. they will lose at least me as a customer...
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
uk laws suck, they ruined pokemon black and white
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I am sure they will lose a few customers here or there but not enough to make a dent. The demand will still be high and if you dont buy it, someone else will.

The added benefit is that the DEV's might come up with a solution sooner or later, till then enjoy the device as it is. The Benchmark scores sore way high and so far, there is not much that would need you to swap ROMs.

But I guess we will have to wait and see once the device is out
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shad0wboss:
I want to give developing a shot and i want to start with gaming on android platform. Now i'm a bit confused in the world of android and SDK. So there are a couple of questions which i want a dev to answer ! (yes only a dev although i respect all people here but please i want serious help and i will mind any kind of silly comments).

-Which tools are necessary in developing a game? unity? if unity then some feedback would be really appreciated.

-Any other program built specially for game development (any kind) which doesn't require hard c++ or java coding?

as i'm still a college student and not aware of these two languages but i want to work on a game as my personal project over the summer so i want to collect all the tools and go over all kind of tutorials necessary.

Thanks in advance !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HinotoriBR:
shad0w,

Trust me, you need to learn coding.

Since you want to start with Android, best bet is to either go throug android tutorials and examples and start to learn it, or, you could start with Java. My recommendation is that you start using Android basic coding tutorials:
