Look at Subsonic, it's an awesome app and you can stream any media from your pc to your phone. mp3, mkv, avi, etc... I use it all the time and love it.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
There's ways to break the drm on the blurays you purchased. However, that is more of a matter for other forums and websites. If you google around you'll find information. If they are truly your bought and purchased copies, you should have a right to do what you want with them as long as you're using them for your own devices.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chino0131:
Go to knowyourcell.com. I don't know if they have the Thunderbolt listed yet on that site, but every movie I converted per their instructions for my EVO works great on my thunderbolt. It's all free, even the software to convert, and tells you what format everything needs to be in.

Hit the link below and it will give you all of the instructions you should need. Again, I know its for the Evo, but every movie I converted for my Evo works great on my Thunderbolt. They dont have a seperate tutorial for the thunderbolt yet.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyvallely:
What one should I get for a replacement....DX crashed.:cool:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefthomas99:
Fascinate. Bar none.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataranine:
Well if you want lots of ROMs and developer support, go with a Droid phone.

If you want no support from the manufacturer and little developer support with very few fully working ROMs- the devs we have are great though- go with a Fascinate.

Hate to say it. But it's true.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneakysolidbake:
Forget to mention superior hardware on the galaxy s.... but other than that, spot on.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkun:
Droid X has a locked bootloader and hardware that's not as good as the Fascinate's. Get the Fascinate. Really, I'd recommend the Fascinate just for the SAMOLED alone, it's hard to go back to another phone's screen after you've experienced it. :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDKJudoka:
I am testing both phones for work, and all in all the Droid X BLOWS as a work smartphone. The battery dies in about 6 hours for a full charge, and the Corporate Email Sync is non-existent. The only plus that I see with the Droid X is the fact that it has Froyo on it. Other that that, it blows.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falcyn:
Both are great phones, and I'm sure you'd be happy with either one.

However, if you're buying the phone -- not just being given one through Asurion -- it would be really silly to buy either the X or the Fascinate right now when you can get the Thunderbolt for the same price (or even slightly less -- 174.99/2yr on Amazon).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemotodroid:
i owned a DX

the fascinate is a better phone with the correct ROM & kernel installed

the deplay is second to none on this phone
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyvallely:
Guess what!

I have the Galaxy S now!!! Any advice to give me?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
Make sure your GPS works. If it doesn't exchange it.

When you have one with a GPS that works, Odin to EB01, then install the latest Super Clean with the latest open source kernel.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataranine:
Yeah, don't expect updates. Ever.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bond32:
Have you used the Fascinate? I had the DX since release then used the Fascinate once and felt like I was screwed. The screen is reason enough.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modus81:
If you want a phone that has horrible GPS, bad battery life, Bing search, crashes all the time, and still on 2.1 with no hope for 2.2, then go with the Fascinate.

If you want a phone that works righ out of the box, then get the Droid X.

The Droid X won't have any AOSP ROMs because of the locked Bootloader.

The Fascinate have been out for 9 - 10 months and still doesn't have any fully working AOSP ROMs because of lack of source and bad samsung programing.

I sold my Fascinate and I'm on a Droid X running Gingerbread. I couldn't be happier.

Did I mention the Fascinate is still running 2.1!!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsuagentsmith:
True, the fascinate has a lot of modifications that need to be done out of the box and the Droid X has a locked bootloader, however, Vanilla Froyo is a fully functional AOSP ROM for the fascinate on 2.2. The Fascinate has superior hardware. It runs great when compared to a Droid X IMO (as soon as you get rid of verizon and samsung shoddy programming). I don't know a whole lot about the Droid X community, which it could be an awesome community, however I will say that the Fascinate Dev community is fantastic and I wouldn't trade them in for any other group out there.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotmark:
Plus, the Droid X is one ugly ass phone. :p
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsuagentsmith:
Go into the Dev community and read a lot about the ROMs and the differences between the ROMs. I'm not an official developer, but I like to tinker myself with the codes. If I were you, try Superclean with Voodoo, Vanilla Froyo with Voodoo (I think it only comes with voodoo), and Miui (which only comes with Voodoo). If you are adventerous try Cyanogen Mod 7 test build (Gingerbread). I myself run the 4/4 Miui Test ROM from the IRC channel and love it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
My GPS works fine. My battery life is standard for a smart phone, 1-2 days between charges, depending on use, and from what I've heard, the DX is worse on battery. Bing isn't an issue and can be replaced. My phone doesn't crash unless I do something that causes it (testing a kernel for example), and I've been on 2.2 since January.

Guess you missed the news about all the issues the DX had when it was first updated to 2.2...

At least the Fascinate users have an option to use an AOSP rom, regardless of how functional it is. I'm guessing that AOSP will be fully functional at some point, though it could still be a few months.

Lastly, I like how you're comparing a STOCK Fascinate to a non-stock DX. Apples and oranges much?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohead:
I've used a Fascinate and a Droid X myself (as well as some other phones including other droids, iphones, and winmo phones), and while each of them had certain characteristics I did not care for, I still like the Fascinate the best.. Especially running a rom such as SC on it!

I was thinking I might go get myself a TB when reading about them before they were available,, but then after playing around with one in a store I actually decided I still like the Fascinate better (TB was just too thick of a device for my preference).

Like everyone else, I hate the fact that it seems the Fascinate is one of the worse phones to have if you desire factory updates,, but hey with a dev community like we have to fill that one shortcoming,, I am one happy camper!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzrdisi:
Droid X has a larger screen, that's about it. And more RAM.

Other than that. The Fascinate out performs the X in just about everything. (Even on 2.1 and honestly, if you don't care for flash, 2.2 isn't too big a deal)

Benchmark nerds, need not apply.

The screen alone, as someone pointed out already, is amazing.

And I feel my fascinate is far more "hackable" than the X will ever dream of being.

I used to own the X and I was looking desperately anywhere to find someone dumb enough to buy it. Sure enough, someone broke their original droid and bought my X for $200. Thank god, hated that thing.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyvallely:
Ok when I was on the phone odering it they said everything was good to go but I didnt have a credit card with me at the time and I had to call back and they said they can only give me a Droid x since it was for replacement and we talked for 2 more hours! So now I have a Droid X for trade....Any tips for when someone offers to trade me their phone?
[Milestone 2 General] elhariz:
Hey guys

I've searched in this forum and also google about how to backup actual (stock) MS2 rom, but I have no luck. That's why I post this thread.

Actually, I found some article about backing up Droid 2 Roms with Nandroid but I'm not sure that It wilk work for MS2.

So guys, is there any safe way to backup and restore MS2 rom?

thank you

Regards :)
[Milestone 2 General] nininhocovre:
1 - Root phone

2 - Install Droid 2 Bootstrap

3 - Boot into recovery from Bootstrap

4 - Select backup on recovery ( use volume keys for up, down, camera for ok and power for back)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tOz666:
Hi, I have a TyTN II and i'm using a BT handsfree enabled car stereo. I can pair the phone with the radio, make calls and receive them, but I have problems with the microphone/voice sending, that is, when I'm making or receiving a call, shortly after responding, the other party can't hear me, or hears only clicks and distorted sound. I can hear the other party's sound without problems however.

I have made tests, calling to my home's answering machine, and during the call, after a short time the clicks and distort appear again, If I don't hang, sometimes the sound from the phone is fixed, only to be wrong again after a while.

It can't be signal problems, when I use the phone without the handsfree it works OK, and can't be the handsfree itself, it works well with my other phones.

I have tried all that I had read in the forums: pairing/unpairing, installing BT fixes, using KaiserTweak to tune BT settings... nothing worked.

Please help me, I really want to use the phone on my car, and can't use since I've got it...:(

any ideas? thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
Here, use BTAUDIO to solve it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tOz666:
Thanks, but that did not solve the mic problem. I have tested a Motorola HF800 handsfree and strangely it works well with it... but not for my car stereo :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
okay then try to follow these instructions :

1. Install BTAUDIO .cab to your phone

2. Activate your bluetooth headset, and put it in "find" mode

3. Goto your phones comm manager and turn Blueooth on

4. Now pair your headset with your phone

5. Start BTAUDIO

6. Follow the instructions on the screen and BAM, you are done!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seanathan:
Not quite sure how to explain this one but I need to change what my phone is read as when an application reads my phone.

I have a Galaxy S 4G on tmobile and downloaded the MLB app so I could watch the games live. My phone isn't listed as a supported device, but the Nexus S is listed as a supported device. The two phones are almost exactly the same. Unfortunately, the app can see what phone I'm using and blocks me from watching the games.

Is there any way to "change" which phone I'm using? Is there some file in the android os that can be changed?

I appreciate the help guys and hope this made sense.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seanathan:
Annnyone? :)

Smallest bit of help is appreciated!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TheNewGuy:
I have no idea if this applies to your question, but I recently did something similar to get the timescape app working on my tmobile G2. I had to install the appropriate apps and then change the line in build. Prop that reads

ro.product. manufacturer =HTC

to

ro.product. manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

maybe this is what you are looking for?

instead of the manufacturer try changing the other lines like for example

ro.product. name=

or

ro. product. device=

good luck remember to back up before attempting!

[Atrix 4G General] j.aussie:
I am just curious if anyone else has had a similar issue and if rooting it would resolve my problem. When my phone is "asleep" and I press the unlock button it almost never lights up immediately. Sometimes it will take 5+ seconds to light up before I am able to slide to unlock.

I am not sure if rooting the device and removing/freezing motoblur and all of the other bloatware would make it run better. I for sure want to root it in hopes that the phone will be less laggy. I think the inspire and captivate run smoother which is somewhat disappointing.

anyone else have a similar complaint or a way to fix it?
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
I had this problem with 1.26.

Flash firmware to stock 1.26, and update to 1.52 and you should be fine.

Rooting will not help.. Could be apps running in the background or widgets, idk.

Any improvement immediately after phone is fully re-booted?

Edit: I just realized you may not have AT&T...
[Atrix 4G General] j.aussie:
Hey thanks. It is an at&t atrix and is currently running on 4.1.57. I dont think it "wakes" faster after a reboot. Sometimes it wakes right after I click it, but sometimes I can push the button and wait 5-10 seconds... I assumed rooting it and removing all of the garbage would fix the problem haha!
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
Actually, I would root anyway, so you can remove a lot of that stock Motoblur stuff, and keep it out of memory (by freezing it). It certainly can't hurt, and it might contribute to a speedier overall experience. Replacing the stock launcher definitely helps in that regard. Launcher Pro, and Go Launcher Ex as a close second, make using the phone so much smoother. Also, use the auto-close task list in the task manager, it could help to improve your problem if it's related to having too many things running.
[Atrix 4G General] j.aussie:
thank you,

I would like to root my phone to remove that stuff. I dont use any of it (especially motoblur.) I am currently using ADW as a launcher. I like some of the things you can change with it. Is Launcher Pro better? I have gone into the stock task manager to "end" applications, but I will take a look at the auto close feature. Maybe I will add everything BUT my widgets to that category. I have 1 widget per page...... Not sure if that is a no, no lol! 5 pages: beautiful widgets (weather,) pandora, double twist, mini stocks, and my power toggles. Should I not have this many widgets? I am running flickie wallpapers so I dont have a live background.... I think beautiful widgets is the only thing really using a great deal of CPU usage (around 5mb) which isnt much.
[Atrix 4G General] sssp:
I have the same problem.

I am rooted on 1.57 and it did not fix my problem.

I was using gingerblur on 1.26 and the problem was still there.

I do not have titanium pro, so I haven't tried freezing motoblur.
[Atrix 4G General] zen kun:
if u are using setCPU and undervolt this could be the problem if you leave iddle sometime and wake the cpu could take a little more, try disabling setCPU profile on screen off (if u have it)
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
Flash the SBF back to 1.26 and see if you have the problem before installing launcher etc... Regardless, I would install gingerblur since it rox.
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
Same thing on mine, no change between 4.1.26 and 4.1.57. No change between rooted or unrooted. I've just gotten used to it, and it never takes more than 3 or so seconds for me. I hit the button as i'm pulling it out of my pocket, and it's usually on by the time i have it in view.
[Atrix 4G General] Bakedbread:
+1

i actually notice the same thing

currently on rooted 4.1.57

the lock screen wake up time seems slow...

its funny cause the exact same problem occurs on custom ROMs on the HD2 but I thought a real stock android device wouldnt have this problem...

it's a little bit annoying for me, but im slowly getting used to it. Although i would love for it to be fixed cause I've seen the unlock screens on the Nexus S and Galaxy S and they come on instantly when you push the power button

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] imperiallight:
Sound is not possible in VNC chroots as of yet. The android YouTube or music player app is only a hardware click away though. Media is well served by android anyway IMO.

WIFI is shared with the android system but theres no cellular 3G connection (I wonder if a 3G unrestrictor application could work at some point though). Could use your 3G sim in a separate phone for MIFI/WIFI routering too.

Its never going to be preferable to a native port but its almost instant in responsiveness once apps have opened. It is very quick (on my device at least).
