My screen also got a scratch on it and i am extremely cautious. I have never had a phone screen scratch and I have only had this phone for like 2 weeks and it already has a noticeable scratch. I would love to find a way to buff out the scratch. Anyone know of a good method other than toothepaste that might help this screen type?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rulevoid:
I noticed that my screen (without protector) seems to not be perfectly smooth, it almost looks like it has a really good protector on it. It looks like a layer of something like a plastic protectant maybe? I think i have scratched whatever that is.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pegasixi:
not much you can do

I've tried all sorts of things when I was trying to get rid of a scratch on my lcd. You may have some luck with displex, but I would recommend extreme caution (from my understanding, its actually an abrasive paste that smooths down the lcd until the it is at the same level as the scratch).

Personally, I would recommend a screen protector. Not only will it protect your tb from further scratches, but it will also make it harder to see. Don't cheap out either. I personally use Invisible Shield but I have heard good things about Stenheil??? or something similar.

yes eaysiest way is to use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944681

also if you use this Image it has all the compatibility of both. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1014554

just Download and rename and replace the 3.0.0.5 image.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Why would you want to do that? FYI, 3.0.0.6 can flash both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs.

I waiting on tom manger to update for that but in the meantime I wish to go back to froyo
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Their are a few ways you can do it

1) download and flash 3.0.0.6 via ADB.

2) open Clockwork ROM manager > scroll to the bottom > all recovery > flash it

3) download and flash the recovery image you are wanting via ADB.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
2.5.x.x is for Froyo ROMs. 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread ROMs. 3.0.0.6 is for both. If you want to restore a backup of T-Bolt or Iced Glacier, you'll need 2.5.x.x or 3.0.0.6. If you want to flash or restore a backup of CM7, you'll need 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6. Obviously, 3.0.0.6 is preferred because you can switch to that and forget having to worry about recovery images anymore!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wavern:
I've got a Viewsonic GTablet running TNT Lite v 4.4.0 (which includes the mahimahi fix). When I first ran the market app I saw several THD (tegra hd) apps but saw no Dolphin HD Browser. After the fix the browser is there but my HD games seem to be missing. Is there a solution that will allow both to show up in the market?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
My experience is that if you do the fix and just clear the market cache you get things like Opera Mobile (great browser BTW, Hulu is watchable in it unlike Dolphin). If you clear the market cache AND the market data (along with the other steps) then you get Samuari 2 and a few other items, but you do not get Opera and other items.

Very puzzling. What's worse is I'm not sure the things you already have update if they are not showing up in market so every once in a while you have to go do the market fix without clearing the data, let it update stuff. Then do it again with the clear data (you have to reaccept the terms but you don't lose anything -- you will also get prompted about personal voice on search etc. again). Then you can let those apps update.

:-(

Its strange because the fingerprint string does not change (although I've tried that too). This is with Vegan 5.11.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott21:
I have been having similar problems - never tried to clear data on the market because all of the instructions say not to. Any other downsides to clearing data on the market app?

I have been looking for a way to load Tegra HD apps and it seems like this might work. Previously I only saw them before doing the market fix and then they never came back.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
I have not had any trouble clearing the data. If it worries you, use Ti Backup to make a copy first.

The only thing I've noticed is afterwards you have to accept the google license agreement again and your free apps might not show up for awhile (seems like installing anything out of the market makes them all come back).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott21:
Thanks! This fixed me right up. I backed up Market and did a wipe data after that. Saw the missing apps right after I went back into market and accepted the terms again. I assume doing the market fix will set things back the way they were - need to try that still.

It is strange how the pre-fix and post-fix markets have some exclusive apps... if anyone can figure out how to get all at once that would be great.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njshkb:
I had similar problem. Fixed it by this:

use adb pull the /system/build.prop file,make changes in these lines in the file:

ro.product.name=passion

ro.product.device=passion

ro.build.product=passion

and push it back using adb, reboot......., BTW you might want to backup initial build.prop first.

Then you will have complete access to Market. Credits go to Isira, he/she posted it in TnT Lite long thread. I am loading with Vegan now, but it also works for me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott21:
Can you see Samurai 2 and Launcher Pro at the same time using this build.prop fix? We have been discussing build.prop changes in a related thread in general - no luck with similar build.prop fixes:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019891

I will probably still try out this build.prop change though - anything that adds a few more apps is worth trying. Not sure if it fixes this specific problem though (please confirm if it does for you or not though).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isira:
No, unfortunately after doing the clear cache/data, the Tegra 2 apps are still missing, but with this fix, Adobe Flash, Air, and ADW.Launcher will show up with Launcher Pro.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njshkb:
Just checked. still not seeing Samurai 2. but did get a few more apps showing up in market. Like you said, it is getting better.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebs413:
I'm new here. I'm doing some searching, but I'm trying to find a thread that discusses my client/device setup.

- Fedora x86_64 release 14 (so I can install Eclipse easily)

- Viewsonic G Tablet with VEGAn-Tab 1.0 Beta 5.1.1

Is it just a matter of installing the Android SDK with Eclipse and setting up adb? Should I worry about anything being that I run Linux/x86_64?

Thanx in advance!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njshkb:
I am using adb in windows 7 32bit. cannot really comment on linux thougth.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebs413:
I've been doing embedded Linux for awhile -- my own rolls (uBoot and some JFFS2 storage management), as well as Montavista (Red Hat-based) and even worked as a FAE for TimeSys for a bit (Fedora-based "reference" builds). But my primary role has been Linux consulting for the last dozen years, just intersparsed with Linux (and VxWorks) embedded roles.

I've have experience with Eclipse, and it seems the Android SDK is designed around it (this is my first exposure, yes, I've ignored it until now, other priorities). It shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out, and should be fairly straight-forward and more native on Linux anyway (especially with a cross-compiling GCC and set of targets, like Fedora for ARM). I just assume most documentation here is geared towards Windows users, so I'll try to add any for Fedora and other Linux users if someone hasn't already.

I also have to beware of any gotcha with running Linux/x86-64. I've run into some in the past, even when I've used a chroot environment with 32-bit libs. Linux/x86-64 and Windows x64 take completely different approaches, where Linux/x86-64 is 64-bit native by default and adds some 32-bit support and Windows x64 ships 32-bit compatibility by default and an increasing number of 64-bit native libs.

Updated

Okay, it's fairly straight-forward. The Fedora 14 x86_64 repos still contain all of the i686 toolchain required, and other than the required WST objects, the Eclipse x86_64 packages in the Fedora x86_64 repos contain all of the other objects required. I just had to enable my Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) milestone repo for my user's Eclipse configuration, along with adding the ADT repo, to install the missing objects with ADT. Since this is done as my user in Eclipse, it is only for this user (it would be nice if Google packaged DPKG and RPMs and offered APT and YUM repos, respectively).

I'm almost there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott21:
This won't help the Linux users but I just got ADB setup on Windows 7 x64. Had some trouble using the shell commands so I used QtADB to pull off build.prop and put up an edited version:

http://qtadb.wordpress.com/

Was very easy once ADB was setup per the forum instructions. Also had a little help from a nice generic ADB guide that pointed me toward QtADB:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

After a reboot I am now able to see Flash 10.2 after the market fix as well as Firefox and AirAttack HD. Per other reports I can confirm some others are MIA such as Samurai 2 and Vendetta Online. Regardless the Market is certainly more complete with the updated strings.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njshkb:
I tried different combinations on how to clear Market and google frame work data when perfoming market fix, here is what I got:

base line: woot g tabe upgraded to vegan 5.1.1 with CWM recovery, without any kernel update.

initially I could not see Launcher pro and Dolphin HD browser in the market, but did see samurai 2 (tegra 2 optimized) and crazy snowboard, so I decided to do market fix, followed this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YcJdxJ24U,

1. go to application managment, select Market in running apps, clear cache, do NOT clear data, then force stop;

2. select google frame work , clear data, then force stop.

3. go back to home, open market again, should see an error,

4. reboot,and wait for system to be stable( at least wifi signal),

5.open market again

Now seeing Dolphin HD browser and launcher pro , fancy widget..., but samurai 2 and crazy snowboard and probably some other apps are missing,

Then follow the link of modifying build.prop (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019891), get bunch of apps back, eg. now seeing crazy snowboard, flash 10.2, airattach HD and firefox together with launcher pro etc. But Samurai 2 is still missing, maybe plus some other apps. So I tried this slightly different route doing market fix again:

1. go to application managment, select Market in running apps, clear cache, CLEAR data, then force stop;

2. select google frame work , clear data, then force stop.

3. go back to home, open market again, should see an error,

4. reboot,and wait for system to be stable( at least wifi signal),

5.open market again

And samurai 2 is back, but launcher pro 2 is missing again.

it is very confusing. but seems clearing or not clearing data in market fix can be an alternative way to let us access different part of market after build.prop fix. I really do not care if I get a true complete market right now, to some point, you never know it.

GladiAtrix Enabler v1.05 (Sideloading/Tethering APN)

Quick and simple tool to enable sideloading or add the AT&T tethering APN to your device, should you need it. This requires root to work

Also, this is a Windows only script. If anyone wants to port this to Linux or OSX I'd be happy to include links in the main post.

TESTED working on:

Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.26

Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.52

Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.57

Rooted AT&T Firmware 4.1.83

Rooted Bell Firmware 0.37.4

If you test it and it works on a version different than listed here, let me know and I'll update the first post

I do not have anything but an AT&T Atrix to test this on, but the sideloading fix should work if any device. The tethering APN is only for AT&T as it's carrier specific.

Little bit of additional info here:

Enables sideloading for any device

Adds AT&T tethering APN

You need to click "allow" to superuser when prompted.

Installation instructions:

Read the directions.

Read the directions again.

Read the directions a third time. If you do not understand a step, ASK before starting.

Download the script

Extract the files to C:\GladEnable. Do not install anywhere else. Having it inside a folder with a space will cause the script to FAIL.

Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).

Connect your phone (I recommend setting USB Connection to 'None').

Run GladEnable.bat (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).

Follow the on-screen directions. You will need to tap "Allow" on your phone for each step.

Make sure you allow the superuser request on your phone or it WILL fail.

All done!

​

DISCLAIMER

I am not responsible if this bricks your phone or if it doesn't work properly for you. I've done everything I can to ensure smooth execution.

If you have any issues, feel free to PM me, reply to this thread, or come find me on IRC (I'm Fenrir or fenfone on IRC)​

Brilliant, Ririal

Thanks for all your amazing work. I plan on running this script tomorrow.

In the event that reboot is not in the power popup, I really like Quickboot from the market. I have a shortcut to reboot the phone under my power widget. Works great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
This is not the GladiAtrix rom. It only does sideloading/tethering APN for users who just want to enable that, or for users who were using v1 of my retain root script and didn't enable it before hand with aRoot.

The ROM (when it's done, I'm having some issues with the installer. The ROM part is technically finished :P) has the reboot power menu option.

Ok, I'm having problems with activating tethering in general. It seems that moto blocked tethering completely. I did v2 of retain root, i used this script, and i also tried it manually and each one of them says that i need a tethering plan. did moto fix this for good?

With the update i am getting an instant connect on the mobile hotspot. I no longer have to tether the APN to get it to stick. I do notice that ocassionally it breifly says im not set up before it actaully connects.

Thanks Ririal,

Many people are realizing that Titanium Backup restores App+Data well, but most system data and settings restores are breaking functionality. A factory reset will restore Blur account and some other settings that are lost but will also make side loading and tethering go away.

Now users we have a way to get those back with out a full SBF.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chetters:
Bang! You got me! This is exactly what happened to me.

This update totally fixed my sideloading and tethering issues.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
It's possible that Motorola patched the workaround for tethering. All this script does is add the custom APN, which used to work. I haven't looked at other methods for permanently enabling tethering as this method has worked for me in the past.

Problems...

I'm having an issue while running the command. I'm a recent iPhone user so this is all new to me. First I'd like to make sure this is all I need to do in order to install 3rd party apps (a.k.a. apps I obtain online) I don't need to do a full-blown root, do I?

While the command is running, it first asks me, "Do you want to install sideloading?" I input 'y' and hit Enter. That results in: " /system/bin/su: not found " Does this mean I need to root first?

Maybe one or more files are not getting extracted, but I don't see anything else in the download. My download contains 5 files.

1. GladEnable.bat

2. gladenable.sh

3. abd.exe

4. AdbWinApi.dll

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
It clearly states that you need to be rooted for this to work. Please read the post before asking questions that are already answered.

You can add a manual APN in the settings menu, yes.

Works for me, unsure what the issue could be. Enable the APN, then reboot your phone, I was having issues prior to reboot myself.

Not sure, never had the sideloading not work for me. This doesn't add the checkbox in the application settings menu (what reason do you really need to uncheck it?), it just enables it. Make sure the script is completing successfully with no errors.

You likely are not rooted then.

That's a part of HTC sense. You can buy Beautiful Widgets from the market that includes copies of those widgets.

Somehow I still can't get hotspot to work. I ran the script and got through without any error. I still get the AT&T message saying the hotspot service is not activated.

This is about an unlocked Atrix outside the US - I have no way to connect it to the AT&T network.

I never actually tried it before the 1.5.7, Im tempted to do so and see wether it worked back then.

Could anyone help?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
Enabling tethering simply adds the tethering APN for AT&T so you don't have to type it manually. It's possible that the update to 1.5.7 disabled the tethering service due to pressure from AT&T. Check the APN you're using, make sure it's the correct settings for your carrier and that under APN type, one of the options is "tether"

I'll update the first post to clarify what it means by "enable tethering"
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mrnicotra:
Right. I thought the script did in fact something to enable tethering aside from editing the APN settings.

My APN settings are correct. I used them to tether with plenty of other phones (android and non-android) before.

Anyhow, the only solution I have is to download and use a third party app for tethering but Id like to have the stock option enabled. I might go back to 1.2.6 and see what happened then.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
I had several issues getting it to work myself at first. I had to delete the old one that the initial script created, reboot, run the script again, enable the new APN, reboot AGAIN, and then it finally started working like before.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Andresrsx:
Same thing here..

Nothing worked for me, i had to go back to 1.2.6 to get tethering back. so i flashed SBF 1.2.6 and now works perfectly, something definitely changes when the OTA is applied

Any news on this? im also sim unlocked and outside the US
