[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayway27:
[reposted from wrong thread]

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!

This late in the game jsut wait for the next wave of phones some will has dual core
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utorrent76:
Might even see quad core by the end of the year.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayway27:
sorta didnt answer my question, dont mean to sound ungrateful;

i want the g2 b/c of the keyboard and other asthetics; dual core isnt that big of a factor for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
As others have said there will be new phones coming out soon, faster processors, more cores, more megapixels, etc.

Another thing to consider is that I would expect new phones from T-Mobile to have radios capable of operating on AT&T's 3G network, making them more future proof.

OTOH If you are a keyboard guy I would expect these to be less and less common, as a former G1 user myself I can tell you the G2 keyboard is quite inferior to the G1 and thanks to better soft keyboards like Swype I rarely use the hardware keyboard anymore.

Also I can certainly sympathize with wanting to upgrade from the G1, the G2 is unbelievably more snappy, I don't think could go back to the G1 again.

One other option is to look at picking up a used device off Swappa (something like a MyTouch 3G Slide) to hold you over until the new hotness comes out later and renew your contact then.

BusyBox is a set of Linux tools that is pretty much essential for a rooted Android phone.

I have never heard of using Visionary only for temp rooting causing any problems, it only gets dicey if you try to use it for permanent root.

As for advantages of permanent root over temp root, I guess in your case it's mainly a matter of convenience, though I found some rooted apps don't behave properly with Visionary temp root.

I haven't heard anything about a newer version of Visionary and I don't think I'd expect one.

The gfree method isn't too difficult once you have ADB working, I'd just do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killswitch11:
I'm no expert but I'll try to answer some things. As for temp rooting, Visionary appears to be relatively safe, but many people warn of using it to perm root as there's a good chance of bricking the phone. It just seems to be less of a hassle to perm root and be done with it. The gfree method seems to be the one that is least risky. I have yet to root my G2 but will probably follow a method that uses Visionary for temp root and gfree for the perm part.

As to the radios, there is often no need to flash a new one and its generally advised NOT to unless you have a very good reason and know exactly what you're doing. The hinge can be bad on some G2s, not so bad on others. Mine is on the loose side but its not really a big deal to me. I can post the link to the "Easy Root" thread if you like. There are a lot of posts from people who used it and have yet to see a reported failure. I'm trying to steel myself up to go through with it. Just wanna have everything in line.

A lot of people it seems are saying wait and don't bother with the G2. Not so sure. It's an awesome phone if you like a physical keyboard. It's plenty fast and capable, even more so when rooted. Playing the technology waiting game is pointless, IMO. There is ALWAYS something bigger and better right around the corner. Everyone is touting the current wave of dual core phones, and soon those will be kicked aside by the tech elites in favor of quad core phones, then THOSE will be swatted aside when something else comes along. Android phone technology is moving faster than any tech I've seen so I think it's better to find a phone you like and chill. So what if some dude you know has a dual core phone? That fact doesn't make a phone like the G2 suddenly slow and incapable. Sure, relatively speaking it's less powerful but that's technology for you. I say if you find a phone you really like, jump on it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mezster:
I have seen someone else post about same issue but it must be buried in another thread and I just can't find it, so sorry if I am being redundant. I had the new market place after ec10 upgrade, but now I don't after installing RED CWM ALL via odin and then flashing voodoo kernel for ec10 that jt posted in fascinate forums (thanks to emarohl for helping answer that question). If someone could help me with this it would be much appreciated as the download to sd card option isn't available in the old marketplace format.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Just be patient and it will come back. Try downloading something - people have said that speeds things up. Open and close it a few times. You can also go into settings - applications - and clear cache on the market app. That can help as well.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mezster:
Thanks for the advice, but I tried it to no avail. Have even tried rebooting and pulling the battery, but no. I hope your right and I just need to be patient, did you experience the same and if so how long did it take to restore? Anyone else have any input?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
I have in the past, yes. The market is built to update itself. There's really not a lot you can do to "force" it to update other than what I suggested. Unless anyone else has found something that works. That or go to this link and flash one of these sick themed markets and that'll give you the most up to date version too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957331
[Samsung Mesmerize] obliviator33:
Here is what I have found is a fool-proof (in my own experience) way to get the market to update itself.

Download and install an app, then launch that app from within the market. Then once in the app, press the back key to go back to the market and it should update.

I have done that 3-4 times and it has worked in the past.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Since some people have gotten confused in the past, do u have the one with the silver bar or the one with the green background? some had never seen the silver one so they were thinking that IT was the new one instead of the green one
[Samsung Mesmerize] rrockstar.kidd:
Market is built to update itself

like everyone here has said

just wanted to confirm that

check back after a little while it should update itself
[Samsung Mesmerize] mezster:
Thanks all but I got it to update by going into manage apps then selecting market, cleared cache, then clicked the uninstall updates option. This brought the new market back (yes the silver one), then I immediately downloaded an app, opened it from within the market and it stuck - at least so far,i shall see...
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
The silver one is the old one. Green wavy top is the new one.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mezster:
You sure about that? My brother has mez running 2.1 and his market is green. My mez came from uscc with 2.2 and had silver market. When I installed cwm and voodoo I lost the silver and got the green instead. Silver came back after I uninstalled updates and reinstalled market by opening it and agreeng to terms again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cpfeifer:
Was this right when you bought it? For whatever reason EC10 released with the older market and it updates within give minutes of booting for me.

Swyped using USCC Mesmerize
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Positive. You said when you uninstalled updates it went to silver and then to green when it updated. kinda answered your own question there.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Trust us, the green one is the new one. Everyone - whether they are 2.1 or 2.2 - starts with the green market and that is the "new" market. You only see the silver one when you're flashing a different vending.apk and it then has to automatically update itself.
[Samsung Mesmerize] zarnax:
Yup wavy green one is the new one...way back when I had my acclaim, it was silver.. Now its all green.

Thx, because i'm planning to buy one:)
[LG Optimus 2x] poi2005:
1. Good IMO.

2. Everyone is different, I think worth, some other might not. So depends on individual needs.

3. approx 250mb~300mb (98mb+extras, according to the running services stats), depends on usage and apps. (Customised ROM.:rolleyes:)

4. If loud speaker is one of ur main consideration, then dont expect too much from this device :cool:

I recently rooted my NC and installed Honeycomb on it. I was finally able to (after days of trial and error) install the google apps on the Honeycomb via my Mac (I didn't have access to a PC).

Anyways, Maps works but that's about it. Gmail, Market, Talk do not work.

They don't even open and sometimes if they do they force close immediately. I never had the option to set up my google account when Honeycomb first launched on my NC. I'm wondering if that is the problem considering the apps that require your Google Account do not seem to be working.

I've tried to clear data from the application settings and even unistalled and reinstalled of them.

Anyone have any suggestions?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
You said you used odin to get 2.2, use the same method to get 2.1.

Use the search function in the development section for "DI01" or "DL09"

If the thread says DI01/DL09 all in one package or something, download the file from that thread. The file may be dead in the first post, so just check the latest posts in that thread as they usually have an new download link.

Also it would be better next time for you to not to install some things if you arent sure of it. You could make your phone not work anymore by improper installation.

Here you go. if you use ODIN to flash back, do NOT forget to use the PDA button.

[Android Apps and Games] joshriccio:
I am curious about the way the android system can communicate text messages with a pc. Using PDAnet, I know that it is possible to receive and send text messages on my windows desktop, while simultaneously surfing the net. Would it be possible to implement a similar system into one of the various wifi tethering apps? Maybe even make phone calls from my pc and send them through my cell line using my laptops wifi? With 4G speeds I can see more people using their cell phones as their daily use routers, and a program like this would make it more convenient to communicate while leave your phone in a central location in the home or office. Just wondering if anyone can shed some insight into this. Thanks!

Sorry guys for posting this, but I need some questions answered and there are a lot of answers. I just purchased a g tab from tigerdirect and it will be here soon. I wanted to know if I should update first or leave it as shipped before I install a rom.

I'm wanting to try out the new Gingerbread release from TJ, but Not sure of which ClockworkMod I should install. Also Is G Harmony Gingerbread the way to start, for a beginner?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0cs:
I don't think there is a 'right' answer, each rom has something good about it.

I'd start with TnTLite as it is the best supported and fixes a lot of issues that the stock rom comes with.

Go from there, if you're happy with TnT then use it for a while.

Start small I say, get some confidence then move to the more involved roms.

Hi everyone,

I've written an Android app that does real-time audio processing and need a mobile phone to test and demo it.

Which phones can do real-time audio processing? Which have the property that if something works on this phone, it will likely work on many others? What relevant comparative resources for real-time processing on Android are available?

My particular constraint is that it can do a 128-sample (Java) FFT in 22ms and sample at at least 6000 Hz.

A mention of any related issues encountered with specific devices for your own real-time audio processing apps would also be very helpful.

Notice the second to last line. So it seems like for those of you that are deciding to keep off the Evo 3D bandwagon for this year (and maybe wait for some quad core action next year ;) ) and are still clinging to your Evo's next year, you might see some 100megs down, that is, if Sprint decides to show your town a little love.

If I were Sprint I would be investing in this ASAP [as long as the lower bands are allowed to be used]
[EVO 4G General] Clay333:
Yeah that's going to be sweet. Sprint is going to have a huge head start and if they plan right and upgrade towers quickly they may be able to get alot of customers back from Verizon. Wimax 2 WILL also be compatible with the Evo 3D because it will use the exact same Wimax chip (although from the article ANY original wimax chip will work). Hopefully Sprint will jump on this and start to truly shine as a stupid-fast, reliable, UNLIMITED network.
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
What all of you are missing is the bandwidth isn't true and can't reach those speeds IN ANY FORM or way. The max that can goto almost any tower are 100Mb connections. You would have to have 4-7 fibers going to EACH TOWER in order to reach those speeds.

Also what you're also forgetting is that they are "leasing" the bandwidth from the cable/phone providers. Certain states like FL, texas, and others with data centers will be the only ones reaching these speeds. However, it is very sad that we can get faster speeds with our mobile than we can with our hardwire connections directly to our house. lol

Oh no, ONLY 100mbit / second?

Why would they even bother?
