If you still have trouble (like the install doesn't launch right away or it says no application to open this file) try downloading a file manager / explorer and launch the apk from the download folder.

I've just upgraded my firmware to DXJPE, and now my PC only detects the sd drive, but not the external one (sd card). I've never had this problem before and my cable and sdcard are not loose. Any ideas what I can do about this? I suppose I can clear the cache of any app, but am not sure which one to clear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
This has happened to me a good deal and I think it is kernel related.

Once you unplug from the USB, reboot your phone in order to restore the external SD.

The only fix I found for it was switching kernels. I am using Damian's v1.3 Beta 2 now and the problem went away, but I had it with previous versions of Damian's kernel. I don;t remember if I had it with SOK or Speedmod as well.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Thanks, that makes sense! My phone is also laggy and has intermittent force closes, so I think it may be a kernel issue too. I'll try to uninstall that or reflash my phone without the kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Remember that a kernel cannot be uninstalled (that would be like removing the drivers and BIOS from a PC), you need to flash a new kernel over it.

This can be done very easily with an app like SGS Kernel Flasher. Just remember to disable any lagfixes or tweaks you have running before flashing the new kernel.

Hey

I'm sorry for posting this question in this thread but I had two threads opened and I realized that I posted in the wrong thread when it was already too late.

So I edited this post because I cannot delete it.

Could you please help me...I tried to install Android on my htc hd2 and I wanted to download Android (MDJ FroYo HD

Thanks ;)

Hi Jasmin,

I have moved this to general Q&A ;) you can still download the rom of your choice without spamming ;)

What are you after? Nand or run from SD? You do know that MDJ's roms have been taken down, but there are many others to chose from :)

What experience d you have with flashing your HD2, have you hardspl yet?

Hi.

The weather app works fine when there's internet connection, but whenever I get offline it says that there's no weather data available. This happens only for the current city, the other cities have their forecasts saved. This didn't happen before. Whenever there was no data connection, it would display the weather from the last forecast update.

Can anyone suggest me how to change MODS without bricking my phone and suggest me which MOD is the best?

Thank You.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Is your phone rooted?
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Obviously the phone is rooted, the op has gingerbread on it.

Op you don't have a gingerbread mod, it is a Rom. Roms in general are pretty much the same, each chef just adds tweaks here and there to their liking.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
Im trying to add the CM7(hearing that it is one of the best?)
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
If you change to CM7, you will not have gingerbread until it's reflashed. IMHO there isn't such a thing as "the best rom". Every rom has there unique features to them. You just have to find the one which suits your needs and wants.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
because gingerbread made my phone from HSUPA (HSPA) to 3G next to the singal.

[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:

[HTC Inspire 4G] pollux1151:

Hey guys I got a friend that bought a cd on Amazon, and they got 20gb of cloud storage for a year for free. He was asking me if it was safe if he dumps his collection of music onto it. He travels a lot and gets his music from some questionable sources, street vendors overseas and such. Do you think it is safe to dump his music collection, or should he wait due to licensing issues that Amazon is going to have deal with.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
It's probably safe, but he shouldn't throw the originals out since they're on the cloud.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
unless you go at the screen with something sharp (knife, screwdriver, etc) then you will not scratch it. I have had no screen protector on it for months, not a single mark. infact, it looked worse when there was a screen protector on it!!

also, remember there are 2 protectors on these phones. a lot of people remove the first one, then scratch the 2nd one and think they have scratched the glass :)

+1 just hit a year with no screen protector, and still scratch free! winning!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I took of the original screen protector when i received the phone...but then I read about the second screen protector and i realised that i still had that one on as well.

It was getting scratched and was hard to clean so a couple of weeks ago i took it off..(very easily although some people find it hard, maybe because it seems stubborn to come off at first)

Well, since then I have NO scratches on my phone, even though i keep it in my posket with my keys and loose change...

Also, it cleans up a lot better from the fingerprints than the screen protector did.

the only reason I can think why SE put it on is if you crack the screen it keeps the tiny pieces together so it doesnt cut you, but that means you still have cracked screen...it doesnt protect your screen, just their bank balance if you sue them!!

Lets not forget that once removed it becomes sensitive to moisture.

Maybe same, but maybe more Pictures.

I've NEVER tried this. I can only remember that once I see some Cam Error on my Test Wave... :eek:

But for my Test Wave I've used only Multiloader and flashed different Firmware from old to new or back to old Firmware... and it seems. Some internal mechanism force the Cam to autoupdate... :mad: :confused:

No idea how and when...

I only know, that you can't choose. And this is bad.

My Test Waves Cam is alive, but no idea how and when ... it repairs self. :D

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Maybe we find one day. How it works, that Firmwareupdate forced also CAM to update...

As I nearly never use CAM on my Test Wave and also never did Masterreset or something like that.... Then maybe Fullflash with Multiloader is the reason?

And after initial blabla CAM is forced to autoupdate without chance that user can choose something...

So should i tell him to do a downgrade with a full firmware flash??

i saw another thread where people said that worked for them

what is your opinion adfree??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
My opinion.

1.

Be sure, this Cam Error is after Firmware update via Multiloader or maybe Kies?

Hmmmm... maybe Kies force Cam Update? :confused:

I can't remember what I did before. :o

But my first try was to downgrade my Firmware with Multiloader.

I have somewhere Screenshot, I will upload soon...

2.

If this come after Update... then try first to go back to prior Firmware.

I'm NOT talking about CAM Firmware.

I only know that 1 user tried many things. I don't know in which order. But ever failed to repair Cam on S8530...

Only Samung Service was able to do this.

I hope your friend have more luck.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] chris_11:
Heelp

Hi guys,

I've kinda got the same problem.

I've bought the Samsung Wave S8500 by ordering it on the internet, and came with the camera failed problem. Initial firmware was S8500BVJF1 / Bada 1.0. I've tried uploading camera fix s8500.rar files to the phone but it didn't work. So I tried upgrading it to the latest firmware using Samsung Kies. Now the firmware version is: S8500BVJK1 / Bada 1.0. Tried the patch process again and still didn't work.

From what I can see it's something wrong with phone reading the bin files (?). After I upload the .bin files if i try the *#17932864# thing and go to "(6)Video -> (3) Camera firmware -> (1) Phone/Cam FW Ver check" I get "ERROR: can't read version info". Then if I chose "(2) Phone to Cam FW Write" I get Phone to Cam FW Write [FAILED]. So my guess the format of the bin files might be different from what the current firmware expects. Ah also, the (4) FW Write Count is set to (00) : (00).

So the questions / requests are:

1. Do I need perhaps Bada 1.2 for the those files to work correctly?

2. Could you guys upload me some of your camera firmware bin files that work for you along with the name of the phone firmware version you are using (it would be ideal if somebody had S8500BVJK1 along with camera files that work).

3. If anyone else had this issue and got it resolved pleaaase help. S8500 is a great phone with a great camera and it would be a pitty if it didn't work.

Thanks,

Waiting for suggestions

well, a while ago when i corrupted my Bada OS booting a certain config of the Linux kernel my camera wasn't working after reflash, in the end i fixed it by doing a FULL reflash, then a Factory reset, then the camera app worked, and continued to do so after doing camera firmware update too.

I've tried with force_cdma=1 (Select network is disabled) and force_cdma=0 (SIM unlock to use Phone). Please guide me to use Froyo/Gingerbread with GSM SIM.

My phone is a unlocked global phone which woks fine in (Verizon HTC Touch Pro2) WinMo 6.5/ Not sure how to make the network working with Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
If you are GSM you definitely want to remove the force CDMA command completely.

And define 'NOT WORKING', does it freeze on boot? radio not work at all? etc.

Also what model is your phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sugarmurali:
Not working: Its not exactly not working. Its mobile network is not available. It says "Setup SIM unlock" or "Enter SIM PIN to use Phone".

My phone is from Verizon (CDMA). I was able to use the phone with a GSM SIM in WinMo. But the same SIM is not working under Android Froyo (I guess its 2.2, the latest stable android posted here)

My spec is attached below,

RHOD500 32M SS-BC

SPL-0.72.000

MicroP (LED) 0x0A

MicroP (KEY) 0x04

TURBO HW/TURBO SW

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Raa_1:
If it's asking for a SIM PIN, you need to disable PIN request on startup (do this in WinMo).

Pin unlock at startup is not available in Android. Yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sugarmurali:
Nope, it's not mobile phone's PIN unlock or security unlock. Its about SIM PIN to use the GSM SIM installed in the mobile can be used. It shows no network coverage (at the top next to battery status) or "No Service" (on the mobile phone unlock screen).

I'm able to use a GSM SIM in WinMo 6.5 without any issue. Because its an global unlocked mobile.

Lemme give a brief summary of the steps I've followed to setup Froyo/Gingerbread.

1) Downloaded the respective ROM (Froyo/Gingerbread)

2) Extracted and copied in to my microSD (8 gig) card (I've never formatted)

3) Copied the relevant (RHOD500/startup.txt) in to the same level as haret.exe. Modified the startup.txt/force_cdma=0 from force_cdma=1 (cos my phone is a Verizon or CDMA version - at least as per my understanding)

4) Selected haret.exe to load Android

5) After the bootup process is over, tried to explore the loaded Android. Everything else is working almost smooth (though with slight response delay) except the mobile network.

I'm now unable to make/receive calls or send/receive SMS or anything which requires mobile network. When I selected at Wireless Network/Mobile Networks, it shows some "Searching for mobile networks" and freezes. And when I tried to uncheck Location & Security/Setup SIM PIN/XYZ "not sure of the item, but something related to clear lock", the mobile was showing some "SIM PIN".

Note: Also I was unable to install any kitchen ROM or custom ROM, even can't HardSPL. I've attached my mobile spec from the special rainbow color screen (displayed when vol- + reset button pressed)

Hope I've briefed my issue completely. Please help me to resolve the issue. Many thanks in advance.

So just double check the SIM PIN is totally cleared in WINMO.

What kernel and rootfs are you using?

I'm not a very technical person. Please let me know the steps I need to follow to answer your queries.

1) How to totally clear SIM PIN in WINMO?

2) How to find the Kernel n rootfs version? I've downloaded the "Froyo Complete build - Stable" version from XDA HTC TP2 Android Forum.

3) I donno how to find whether I'm using Default RIL or Highlandsun's one??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sugarmurali:
I found the module version as "modules-2.6.27.46-01276-g6a6a1c1.tar.gz"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
This is a very technical process - running Android on a WinMo phone isn't exactly "easily done". Hopefully when it gets more stable, it will get easier to install - but at this stage, there's a lot of things being tested, and you really need to learn your way around the system if you expect to be able to use it - or troubleshoot it.

With that said, if you haven't downloaded a test RIL and mounted it, then I'd say you're using the stock one ;). If you didn't change anything with the bundle, you're also using the stock rootfs from 2/24.

Disabling the SIM PIN is a WinMo problem - I'm not quite sure how to disable it, I don't use WinMo sorry :p. If you're not a very technical person, it might be best to stick to WinMo - the phone was after all designed for it. Android may never run flawlessly on our phones, even when NAND flashing has stabilized. So perhaps play with Android, have some fun with it - but don't use it full time if you're not willing to accept the issues.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sugarmurali:
That's great.

But I'm using an unlocked WinMo. But I've checked with my Service provider. Its nothing to do with the SIM PIN it seems. Its just the default 4 digit (for example 0000) should be entered. But that didn't solved my issue.

I guess its something to do with the device lock, 'm not sure. Cos I was unable to install any customer ROM or even HardSPL. The device easily switches to Airplane mode. But not able to access any mobile network. That's the main problem. Prob.ly if I continue using Android, I mite be able to find out some issues. But using Android that too in my TP2 is really cool (though slightly slower). But I'm stuck with mobile network connectivity issue.

I've seen few threads about "No service" or Airplane mode issues. But I was unable to find a proper solution which could work for me.

Not sure whether it would give any clue, I'm using a i5 win7 64-bit laptop.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sugarmurali:
I guess I got the solution. I've found the network to "Global" under WinMo. Changed to "GSM Only" and reboot Android. And now I'm able to see all the networks.... Wow!!!!! What a relief now.... Thanks for all you support in this matter

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Something to note: There is clearly something odd about your device. A SIM lock of any sort should not affect your ability to install HardSPL.

Of interest - what radio version are you running? Most people who flash ROMs update their radios too, you might be running an old radio firmware that behaves differently from those most other users have in use.
