[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treleung:
It is a fantastic phone. Hope this fixes it!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtom624:
I had the same problem a few times myself. What you need to do is when you see the phone to computer symbol press the power button and hold it until the symbol pops up for a second time, as soon as it does plug the USB cord into your phone and a COM port should show up. You wont see the download sign it will stay at the phone to computer symbol. Don't panic its supposed to be there. You should be good to go after that. You can Odin back to stock with the phone to computer sign. I've done it a bunch of times and it always works for me. Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbamade:
I've heard that going back to Odin 1.3 (i think) can help you fix it. Odin 1.3 recognizes your phone when new versions will not.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
you are not bricked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtom624:
I always use that version. It is the only one that works every time for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treleung:
OMG this did it! Exactly as you described! You're awesome. Oh well on the wasted money, I guess it'll be good to have if I ever royally screw it up.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtom624:
Glad I could help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buru898:
If your phone turns on it's pretty much fixable.

Hello,

I hav an unofficial froyo for my milestone and it has same old eclayers market.. how am I suppose to update??

Can any one provide me official froyo sbf released by motorola??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shad0wboss:
Market updates itself when connected to internet as much as i believe. You can look for official rom in Milestone's section:

Motorola Milestone Android Development

This is the one i found:

[ROM] Official Froyo 2.2.1 - Retail Brasil - Rooted & Overclocked Nandroid available
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] latawa:
Dunno whether this is the right forum to ask ....

I was trying to S-off but failed in step 3 after being stuck for over 40 mins or so.

I rebooted in recovery and restored thru backup. From that point onwards whenever I connect my desire the comp asks for drivers for Android phone and does not recognize USB Drivers. But it recognizes as Bootloader interface in HBOOT USB Mode.

Also I'm trying to S-off with Virtualbox method but am not able to connect my Desire rather it's not able to recognize the device.

Just for clarifications, USB debugging is normal, am able to connect as disk drive and perform other normal functions.

Any help?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] latawa:
Nvm... Eventually did S-off with CD method... :p
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
I switched roms 3 times last night and each time I either try to download the apps again or reinstall from the apk file I saved in a directory.

Are there better ways of doing this?

I think I'm switching again tonight.
[G Tablet General] Rumbleweed:
Titanium Backup is your friend.
[G Tablet General] isthisagoose:
to expand on this a little bit, the paid version of Titanium Backup allows you to reinstall apps in a single batch. A key costs $5.90 and it's a great investment considering how much time it saves you if you frequently flip ROMs as most of us do!
[G Tablet General] adampdx:
So that means that you don't have to tell it to install every app? That would be a huge time saver.
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
Oh, the full version of titanium backup....got it.

I'm not using a microsd. I can keep the backup right on the tablet's flash memory as I reflash the roms right?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] nrage23:
You can also sync your backup to dropbox. Dropbox is 2gb of free web storage.
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
Yup, got my license:-D

Do you know if I need to sideload dropbox client with it or is it a part of the TB already?

[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
the other day i was racing with my brother in downloading on a 3.5g network .i was using spv c600 while he using sony ericsson w810.both our phones have an edge connection.the most weird thing was that i always lost. when uc browser i was getting a speed of 5kb/s while he was getting 17-30kb/s.when using opera i still lose.ive upgraded to windows mobile 6.5.so, my question is,HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?i thought windows mobile is more powerful than java based phones.is there a registry or anything to maximise internet cause this is rily strange.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Have you used the very same network? Swap SIM Cards (and setup) and repeat. There are many factors that define data throughput...
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
we have even tried it on 2 other networks but his is still faster
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
How did you measure speed? Is there a special website for measurement or did you just compare user interface (website loaded)?
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
we just the same files from various websites and started downloading at the same time but his downloads always finished faster than mine. i cant use websites since pocket ie is very slow in rendering pages. the funny is that when using my phone as an internet sharing device on the pc but instead download with the phone my speed increases upto 25 to 30 kb/s
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
For the little internet stuff I do with this device I find that Opera mini is perfect. If you want real page rendering (and still the option for "Turbo" - at least a little) then use Opera 10 for Smartphone. Googlemail has also a nice Java application - there you are on the same level anyway.
[HTC Tornado] Michaelbukachi:
i just found out the problem .when i use the java version the speed is 5kb/s when i use the windows mobile version speed reaches upto 40kb/s .thanks for the help
[HTC Tornado] Hakim Rahman:
use UCWEB for best browsing, as reverensi read carefully and you can download it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503744&highlight=UCWEB

hopefully you get the best
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
The browsing experience depends on many options - especially on low performance devices like the Tornado:

Transport speed and data volume (from source to browser - in non-proxy mode)

CPU capacity to render the received data

Proxy performance including transport speed from origin to the proxy and from proxy to the browser.

Opera Proxy in Norway (I suspect). Not sure about UCWeb and a Proxy option.

Non-Proxy use eats a lot of data from your account (if no flatrate), takes time to load to the device and time to render the page onboard. I am not sure how the page-source servers are reacting to the exposed HTTP client string - so it may be different to proxy mode again.

So just try it out with your favourite pages and with/without proxy use. In Opera the proxy mode is called "Opera Turbo" - not sure for UCWEB, as said.

My favourite is Opera Mini (WM Generic version, not the Java version - it only has the "Turbo Mode") - it loads fast and so do the pages.
[HTC Tornado] kei_ki7:
UCweb and Opera Mini has a server. So its like you are using proxy. This proxy allows to minimize the content so that it will not cost a lot.

Btw check your 3g, there is many 3g speeds
[Xoom General] rosso:
I've found several threads on the subject of Tethering a Xoom via BT and Wifi but I'm not having much luck and there's a lot of confusion about providers/Xoom versions/phones, etc. so rather than tag on to a thread I hope it's ok to start a new one.

I have the following:

Wifi Xoom (NOT the Verizon version, the one that just came out on March 27th here in the US)

HTC Hero GSM - completely unlocked (purchased in Europe). Running Android 2.1 standard update from HTC. I'm using the AT&T data plan but device is not an AT&T device at all.

I would like to see if I can Tether the Xoom to the phone and use the data connection I have on it. I understand that the Xoom's chipset doesn't allow for Ad-hoc networks. I've tried to do a Wifi Tether and although that works from my Laptop to my Phone the Xoom doesn't see the ad-hoc network. I don't believe there is any way for me to make the Wifi Tether work in Infrastructure mode so I don't think there is an option there (unless the Xoom can be modified somehow to see Ad-hoc).

So now I'm trying to use Bluetooth Tethering. I've tried both PdaNet and Wifi Tether (v2.0.7 and phone rooted via SuperOneClick). Both seem to start up fine and are running. I then pair the two devices but as many others have reported, I don't see any Tethering options on the Xoom so I'm stuck.

I've tried different orders of things... run Wifi Tether, pair, vs. pair then Wifi Tether, work with Airplane mode on vs. off, Wifi on vs. off, etc. but I never see that Tether option show up.

Anyone have this working with an HTC Hero GSM by any chance? Note that this is the Wifi-Only Xoom which seems to have different features than the Verizon 3G Xoom. Could it be that the Hero itself doesn't support this profile? Or can the Xoom be modified to force it to think the device is tetherable.

I'm not sure if rooting the Xoom would help any or maybe flashing a custom ROM like CM7 on the Hero would help any. I'd prefer not to have to do this but if someone has this working with my exact configuration I'd give it a try.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom General] RinTinTigger:
From what i know, most tethering tech /apps are establishing a ad-hoc network' which the xoom isnt capable of...
[Xoom General] jeffjaslow:
I too have the Xoom wifi only version with a HTC rooted CDMA Hero.

As everyone knows now the Ad hoc will not tether with the Xoom infrastructure as of the latest.

I too get full bluetooth tethering signal from Wireless Tether, but like you the Xoom will "pair but not connect". As you, I am confused as to whether it is the Hero or the Xoom Wifi which will not connect to the bluetooth tether.

I suspect it is the Xoom Wifi, but would also like a definitive answer and better yet a viable solution.
[Xoom General] evmichel:
I have no issue tethering my Xoom (Wifi model) with my Verizon Motorola Droid (1 Gen) over Bluetooth.

My Droid is full rooted with custom Gingerbread ROM (2.3.3) and Overclocked Kernel from ChevyNo1. His kernels are everything enable such as tethering and VPN. This might be the difference for some.

The one annoying thing is that everytime I enable the hotspot on my Droid, I have to go into the Xoom settings and enable tethering on the connection to my Droid. This also has to be done if either device goes not a range and brought back. I am trying to find a widget or a Tasker script to auto enable this.
[Xoom General] rpmbnsf:
Be sure to already start the wifi tether program on your phone (selecting the blutooth option on it) then bring up the blutooth settings menu on your xoom, just press and hold the little wrench you see to the right of your phone icon. it should bring up the tether option...just press that and you should see it conect via blutooth.

Just be sure to have the wifi tether app on your phone already on and set for blutooth. This works for me everytime (running the atrix) and shoujkd also work for your phone too.
[Xoom General] rosso:
Still no luck on my side with the Tethering on while I do the pairing and/or when I touch the wrench icon.

I'd like to understand more about how the Bluetooth profile is detected. Does my phone have to publish out a certain profile? Or does the Xoom have a list of device types that it knows are tetherable? I've read on another forum that it seemed like Motorola devices like the Droid worked whereas HTCs didn't seem to. I'm wondering if the Xoom detects the type of phone it's connecting to and decides whether it's tetherable or not... Anyone know? If this is the case maybe there's some file that can be tweaked on the Xoom to include additional devices or change the phone to broadcast out a different device name, etc. Maybe I should try changing my device name to 'Droid' or something.

Just guessing at this point....
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
I had the same issue with my droid, bluetooth tether is a pretty good alternative. I made a video of it, works with most phones with that create the Ad-Hoc. Check out video below to see the easy steps involved. Root on phone required.

[YOUTUBE]lEsSy1272po[/YOUTUBE]
[Xoom General] rosso:
Thanks for posting the video. This is exactly what I tried but does not work with my HTC Hero and my Wifi Xoom. I'm going to see if I rename my Bluetooth device name to 'Droid' to see if that makes any difference. I doubt it....
[Xoom General] sleeplessninja:
I ran into a little bug, and it wouldn't recognize my droid. I had to unpair and turn on the bluetooth tether app. Then pair. The xoom then recognized the bluetooth tether. Hopefully this works, I apologize if it doesn't.
[Xoom General] cabilaca:
My wifi Xoom works perfectly paired with a CM7 Nexus One.

App: wireless tether

pd: key is the wrench
[Xoom General] rosso:
I tried renaming the bluetooth device name to 'Droid' but that didn't make a difference. I'm sure I'm following the same steps as in the video. Somehow the Xoom doesn't see the Hero as a Tetherable device...

Maybe there are some differences in Bluetooth chipsets?
[Xoom General] PlinXoom:
Wifi tethering works with the Desire Z or the G2

I assume the network it creates is not an ad-hoc otherwise the xoom wouldn't have recognized it?
[Xoom General] rosso:
It's either not ad-hoc or you're using Bluetooth. You'd have to explicitly choose Bluetooth tethering in the Wireless Tether app so I assume you're using Wifi.

From what I understand some phones (the ones that are meant to be used as wifi hotspots) do broadcast in infrastructure mode rather than ad-hoc so I assume that's why it works for you.
[Xoom General] kelvie:
Also of note is that Honeycomb only supports PAN tethering, and not DUN tethering.

Your phone also has to have "bluetooth tethering" turned on (however you do it, I don't have an android phone) so that the Xoom can discover the PAN bluetooth service.
[Xoom General] rosso:
Interesting. Something to read up more on. I'm using Wireless Tether to do the Bluetooth tethering but maybe I need something additional switched on. At least it's another direction to look at....

Seems like someone figured out how to get the Xoom to listen to Ad-hoc networks but that needs the Xoom rooted so I'll also research that. I prefer Bluetooth tethering since it uses less juice on the phone....
[Xoom General] rosso:
It does seem that "Wireless Tether" which is what I'm using on my HTC Hero, is running in PAN mode. If I look at the app's directory it has a pand executable, etc. and when I'm running the tether it is running pand in the process list.

Still, if I pair, even while it's running pand the Xoom still doesn't recognize it as tetherable. Grrr.... Wish I had another bluetooth client I could try to connect to see if it's the phone or the Xoom but I don't have anything else.

I'm wondering if it's because I have the Android 2.1 update for my Hero. Wireless Tether seems to support the 1.5 version of the Hero but doesn't mention 2.1. Maybe there is an incompatibility there...

Anyway, will continue to try to figure it out.
[Xoom General] yoshitweaky:
Rosso, your not on your own, I am still trying to figure this out on my hero running froydvillian. I have done the wifi ad hoc mod and thats working for me but BT tethering woudl be better, I will let you know If i ever find a solution.

I did see someone else loaded CM7 for the hero and then BT tether worked, but CM7 seems to have been pulled for the hero at the moment due to stability issues.
[Xoom General] that1techguy:
I have a droid eris (verizon's cdma hero) and I have the same exact problems but I'm on cm7and using wireless tether. I can get the to devices and connect via tethering but 5 seconds after that my phone reboots.
[Xoom General] lantern20:
Just picked up a wifi-Xoom for my wife over the weekend. Tried to get it connected to my phone (HD2) as a wifi hotspot and was having problems (the ad-hoc problem). The xoom wouldn't even see the hotspot. I am running AmeriCanDroid 0413 build and it has wifi tether v. 3.0-pre11. So I switched back to winmo and still nothing, then I tried going to Darkstone SuperRam 1.5 (my fallback build). It has an older version of wifi tether, I think 2.06 or something like that and got the xoom to connect. I haven't had a lot of time to fool around with it, but it was able to get a network connection. Maybe you could try an older version of the wifi tether? I haven't experimented with the BT tethering yet. I don't want to root the xoom yet, maybe when my wife is tired of it. :D

/edit

Just checked the wifi-tether website and there is a new version of wifi tether and it supports softap which may help the xoom recognize the wifi hotspot.
[Xoom General] yoshitweaky:
Hi, I have just managed to get my hero bluetooth tethered to my htc hero.

The process I followed was basically what everyone has said:-

download wireless tether i am using 2.0.7

1. start bluetooth on phone and xoom (make discoverable)

2. Do not pair the devices yet

3. start up wireless tether, select bluetooth and tap to start the actual service

4. go back to bluetooth on your xoom and pair the devices

I then got an icon I had not had before and when I tapped the wrench I got the option to tether.

As for wifi tether your phone needs to put out infrastructure wifi for the xoom to see it, if its ad-hoc, you'll need to do the wifi mod so that he xoom sees adhoc

although as stated the new version of 'wifi tether' (which just seems to be the new name for the 'wireless tether' app) may fix that? but doesn't seem to support bluetooth as the 2.07 version does
[Xoom General] aronslusa:
Actually got my Sprint Palm Pre to pair up, and connect, with the Xoom.... Then I got an unhappy message saying that I can't use the Pre as a data device or something.

There was a glimmer of hope.... for a fraction of a second.

Just wish the Sprint CDMA Hero I have didn't suck so much and I could root it.

I have a T-Mobile UK USB Mobile Intenet dongle that I use for my laptop when travelling in the UK. (Huawei E1750 to be specific.) Is it possible to get this to work on the gTablet? There is youtube video of this working on other android tablets.

In my novice knowledge, I see two issues: 1) getting the gtablet to recognize the dongle; and 2) getting a ROM that has WCDMA enabled in the networking options.

Any guidance? Thanks in advance!

[Atrix 4G General] shadowreaper:
Since I have enabled the fingerprint lock I can no longer do voice dialing from my bluetooth device (until I unlock it first). Has anyone else encountered this?
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Yes. It's been fairly common on smartphones over the past decade or so to not allow voice dialing when pin locked (or in this case, fingerprint). Not sure why.

So far I haven't looked into alternatives...I just don't voice dial when it's locked (or unlock it first).
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
yea i figure this too that sucks TBH perhaps if you can dial would be a "bypass" of security so maybe thats why, you should have a option to enable this as feature :(
[Atrix 4G General] shadowreaper:
Yes, especially frustrating when you live where it is not legal to talk on the phone without a hands free device!
[Atrix 4G General] AlonFW:
It worked fine on my BlackBerry Tour... bummer. Any workarounds for it?
[Atrix 4G General] AlonFW:
A little googleing reveals that on some Androids it apparently works, as it does on iPhone. Hmmm... starting to wonder if I chose the right phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Digicrat:
Voice Dialing without unlocking phone

Has anybody found a workaround for this yet?

This has been getting particularly annoying as of late - both in the car and on foot. What's the point of voice dialing if you have to pull out the phone first? BT headsets must be pre-synced with the phone, so allowing this isn't even that significant of a security breach, unless you lose your BT headset along with the phone.

Do we even know what component prevents us from voice dialing when the phone locks? Is it part of the lock screen? Of the android kernel's security? Or is it a hidden setting/permission that perhaps a more experienced developer can help us find? I don't know enough about Android yet to even begin to know where to look . . .
[Atrix 4G General] suleiman.aql:
It annoys me the most when double click my bluetooth for redial but it doesn't respond...
[Atrix 4G General] cmcnabb:
I use the 'delayedlock' app to unlock the phone when it detects my BlueAnt S4 is connected. Works fine. The phone relocks itself once the S4 is disconnected.
[Atrix 4G General] AlonFW:
cmccabb,

Thanks, I will check that out. I assume you use the Bluetooth plugin for "Delayed Lock?"

Maybe once our phones go to Gingerbread we this will be fixed. Maybe.

Alon
[Atrix 4G General] cmcnabb:
Yes. I also use the wireless plug in to keep it unlocked at home.
[Atrix 4G General] dp28688:
i have the same problem. ive always used the fingerprint, but it wasnt until i got new BT headset when it started. so it could be the headset also. My old one would do voice commands when locked. im gonna search for that app too see how it works.
