[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goralpm:
Hi.

I try install Titanium backup, but it says about same error with root enable. Whatever this mean.

How can I enable rooting on my device?

I don't wont brick my HTC WildFire so, if someone now how to properly install Titanium Backup I will be very pleased:)

Thanks

I just forget.

When I installed terminal emulator, and type:

su

I get:

permission denied
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
haa ha haa.

seems like u dont even know about the rooting process.

let me tell u that.

just tell me that by not inserting any memory card into ur wildfire, have u managed to capture a picture or take a video with the camera. atleast have u recieved a file via bluetooth. or atleast downloaded a file from the internet.

the answer to all the above questions is simply NOOOO.

UR WILDFIRE SPECS ARE SHOWN LIKE THIS.

384MB RAM, and 512MB ROM.

what do u think of this 512MB ROM. it is the read only memory which cannot be accessed by a normal user. unfortunately, wildfire doesnt have a seperate phone memory other than ROM. the rom memory is only utilised by the applications u install later. it also allocates the application data and application cache values. ROM is generally used by the operating system.

in symbian, generally the rom is solely used by the operating system, and 3rd party applications use phone memory or mem card memory.

but where as in htc wildfire, there is no phone memory. the rom itself is utilised by both the operating system and 3rd party applications. so remember, rom by defaut is not writable(read only).

now i hope u have got an idea of rom, ram, and phone memory.

NOW COMING TO ROOT ACCESS.

rooting is the process of making ROM writable. u can take a picture by cam even without inserting the mem card. and u can store ur files in the rom if u need. one of the big advantages of making rom writable is that u can install custom operating systems in your phone. u can install gingerbread and honeycomb operating systems, the performance of which cannot be guarenteed.

and further u will have the access to root only apps like what u have said above regarding titanium backup.

now comming to how to root wildfire(with froyo), the answer is u cannot do it presently. rooting froyo wildfire has been a dream since the past 4months. no one has achieved it yet. everyone maybe has different reasons for not achieveing it. but it would be nice if someone works on that faster. wildfire is having harder days presently.

and if u r still having eclair (android 2.1) on your wildfire, then u r the luckiest person in the world. u can root ur phone then. there is an excellent piece of software called unrevoked which roots ur phone in easy steps.

giving u the link to download unrevoked here:

http://unrevoked.com/#wildfire

click on the unrevoked 3 and then select ur system os.

DONOT UPDATE TO OFFICIAL FROYO, AS U CANNOT ROOT UR PHONE.

good luck buddy.

I have Android 2.2.1 - so, I cant install Titanium Backup and all other applications if they required access to ROM - yes?

And ver. 2.2.1 even cant be rooted -yes?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
yes to both of those questions. maybe time should give us a solution.

Hello everyone, I was once a mogul, touch pro, touch pro2 user. But ive abandoned Windows and am totally committed to Android systems now.

Anyways... Here goes the #1 question "Loved or Hated" by experienced Android Users, but:

I am having the hardest time understanding the format for rooting this android phone, so has anyone thought about creating a video tutorial for this phone?

(i heard the "Unrevoked" video is outdated and does not work with rooting the Inspire).

Hate to say it but im a visual learner, so maybe im just assed out lol.

Greetings All! I have had my Xoom for about a week now and I love every bit of it! I have been using it with no issues over the course of the last week until today. I searched all over the forum for similar issues but can't seem to find anyone.

I can no longer get my Xoom to mount via USB. I've enabled USB debugging, downloaded the Motorola drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled device using device manager and tried different ports. I can't seem to access the storage. Device shows up in device manager but has a (!).

WIFI Xoom 32GB, Windows 7 64 Ultimate.

I just recently uploaded about 10-15 live sets of a few dj's and it stopped working from there.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Xoom General] YuryAC:
edit: resolved. for some strange reason when USB debugging is enabled it won't let you access the filesystem?

I was in phone store today and i have seen that lg optimus 2x costs around 530€ ad galaxy s costs around 570€. So can someone explain why less powerful phone is more expensive than optimus that is running tegra2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
why you asking us,

ask the sales person in the store
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chasist:
haha, so true
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spyrale:
here in Italy Galaxy s costs 450 euro, LG dual 499 euro..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Peacemanibk:
On amazon, you get the sgs for 350 eur now ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] benoitb85:
In France, 369 for the Optimus 2X unlocked at Bouygues, and 70€ paid back by LG.

That makes an Optimus 2X for 320€. Quite interesting if you're in the market for a new smartphone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
The sales person probably doesn't even know what a tegra2 is:D

Prices in Switzerland (Both 8GB):

Samsung Galaxy S I9000: 439 CHF

LG P990 Optimus 2X Speed: 556 CHF

SamsungGalaxy S II I9100: 679 CHF (16GB though)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
Most probably because Samsung as a smartphone manufacturer and Galaxy S as a phone have better brand recognition than LG over there. LG is a new comer to high end smartphone arena.

Screen, screen, screen... SAMOLED is expensive stuff (and worth every penny) plus the difference in performance isn't overwhelming in any way. Do a smartbench 2011 (multicore friendly) test on your galaxy s and compare the gaming score with lg2x. The thing that bugs me is all game developers are kissing nvidia and apple ass like it tasted lemon sorbet. I guess money taste just as good...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheGoD:
@themate1987

Dude, u should really look for a new phone dealer. In Germany the SGS is at around 330 Euro (price dropping!) and the LG Optimus 2x (called Optimus Speed here) is at 440 Euro.

http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a535151.html

http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a605840.html

Btw, most of the time the reason that older mobiles are more expensive is just that the seller didn't updated the price. Often cheap old phones are just the remaining stock that the seller trys to get rid at.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] themate1987:
All dealers offer practically same price. Prices are 20€ different in other dealers. We have 3 carriers: vip(vodafone), t-mobile and tele2

In Finland 2x 549€ and SGS 445€ both unlocked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
I know this has been beat to death..... and we have assumed that it didn't work.

I have an I896, and I found a submenu by accident, and I'm not sure if it has to do with the audience chip or not.........

I was on the phone, and accidentally hit the menu button while talking, a menu popped up, and lone behold in the bottom right corner of the menu screen there was an option for "noise reduction". I have never seen this menu before, and it is ONLY available while on a call.........

Could this be the option to enable the audience chip on our phones?

Pics........

If I'm just being a newb, please tell me, As I have had this phone for 6 months, and have never seen this menu :)

BTW: I am currently playing with Simpfinity 1.6 (stripped Rogers 2.2 rom)

Edit 2: The toggle in call IS NOT connected to the check box in the call menu.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
andromeda is a i9010 rom. that's the armani captivate. looks identical to the captivate with a different back cover and logos but have no idea if it has an audienec chip or non att phones are allowed to have a stock rom that uses it.

HHHmmmm....over 200 views and not one response answering my question.

Is it safe to assume that no one knows? Or are there people lurking in the shadows with information :)

In your post you said you were using a stripped ROGERS ROM.

Since there is some doubt that the I-896 even has the audience chip,I believe that the kernel and ROM are different between the 896 and the 897.

Sent from wherever I was when I sent it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfs_phone:
If they're the same, how come I've seen so much doubt about the 896 even having an audience chip?

Is there any official information that shows that it does come with the chip? Got to wonder why, if it has one, that the Rogers ROM doesn't appear to support it.

Also, your arrogant tone doesn't seen justified when you can't even get three letters in the right order. It's nfs, not nsf.

Menu>settings>call settings> voice call. If its not there, its not supported by your current rom. If it is there, good for you. I verified the location on my wifes stock 2.1 captivate.

Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
i think the rogers captivate almost certainly has the audience chip, perhaps the i9010 as well but the question is whether or not it uses it? and if we really need it?

also somebody must know, i mean there is so much talk about which modem enables it, if they know it is in the modem they must know what else needs to be present for it to work, whether it be rom related kernel related or both.

i mean what does this chip supposedly do that wouldn't already be accomplished in software that would be easy on resources? i imagine it is just a compressor/limiter and maybe has some vocal recognition to seek out non vocal sounds and play them over the signal in a reveresed phase. and maybe equalized to help tune in on the human voice. not at all that extravigant. is there something this tiny chip can do that would eat resources on the powerful 1ghz processor? why cant someone impliment better noise reduction into the kernel or rom? it seems to me that someone like supercurio with knowledge of the paths the audio takes would have no trouble enhancing call quality via a kernel module or an app or mod to the rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
I have a noise reduction option there as well... Like I said in my first post..these 2 settings are not connected, I can turn them on and off independently of each other.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfs_phone:
If you're going to express an opinion, you ought to state your reason for having it. What's your evidence for the presence of an A1026 chip in the	Rogers phone? Are there any ads or other material that state that it has the chip? AT&T makes a point of promoting the fact that has the chip, does	Rogers? The chip requires hardware support; two microphones are needed.

From what I can see (go to lloydwatts.com for more info about the chip's capabilities) the chip offloads a great deal of signal processing, relieving the cpu of the burden of doing the complex processing. In my experience manufacturers don't add processing hardware unless it's really required for adequate performance.

So, while I don't know for certain whether the Rogers phone has the chip or not, I have yet to see any clear evidence that it does. And, I think it's quite clear that there's no way to duplicate its performance with software alone.

because according to an owner, the board is marked as i897. not i896. it appears that it is identical in every way. yes it is possible for them to exclude it on the machines and just reuse the board, so it is just an assumption.

is there any way to ping the chip? maybe it can be tested?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
The only hardware difference for the I896 is the front screen, says samsung at the top and the sticker.

look at my sig.

the sticker under the battery says:

the IC id is 897

the FCC id is 897

the model is 896

and the main board inside says: 897 and is the same part # to replace.

then the software differences, unlock code not stored IN the phone, but non market apps, USB tethering and Mobile AP all stock and free of charge.

so nsf_phone - don't call me arrogant because im confident in my KNOWLEDGE.

don't spread YOUR OPINION as gospel and accuse other people for doing so

you do not HAVE a rogers phone or ever seen one so you dont KNOW

oh and the option may not be in the roms because of a samsung driver.... maybe... (just a thought, not a fact, or could be way out in left feild {why i used MAY and MAYBE})
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfs_phone:
Aw, diddums. Did I hurt your sensitive feelings?

I would like to add condescending to the list of attributes you exhibit.

You take an insulting tone, act like you know everything, then rather than address the question at hand, which was specifically, does the 896 have the A1026? You merely read the phone sticker. As others have pointed out, manufacturers have been known to reuse boards for different models and leave components off the board to save money.

You accuse me of being arrogant, but I admitted I don't know whether the chip is present. I was simply asking for evidence that it is there. It's you that's acting like the know-it-all when you obviously don't know with certainty. That's a classic example of arrogance. It doesn't matter whether it's there or not in that context. You don't really know it's there, but you act as though you're the authority in this realm. That may work in whatever jejune social circle you normally spin in, but you're in a lot bigger pond now, and you really ought to temper that condescending tone before you seriously embarrass yourself.

but i assume you want to see Obama's birth certificate too? in person? with testing equipment...

its not just the same PCB board, it is the same PART #.

so if you were to order one, you would get the same part, no matter 897 or 6

im done.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Well that was a long read. :rolleyes: lol

You guyz both brought good points (beside all the flaming). Although, as for the chip, it is most likely to be there as Tru pointed out, they've the same part #. I own both I897 and I896 so I'm sure of that (did a little check up).

Now, that they left out a piece or two (chip in this case) is very possible if it's not needed. I'm not saying it has it but I think that it does and I won't destroy my phone to try to figure it out :D lol

Now if someone could, without hurting other people feeling (really guyz?), do a real research or bring some real info into this. You're more than welcome! :)

I used Google Listen for sometime. I liked it but the app needs more work. Podcasts are not as organized as they should be or as they are in ipod etc. Also, podcasts are updated rather infrequently.

Edit: Oh and try 'Stitcher'. Its a sort of podcast radio which streams audio. Its amazingly organized and you can find almost anything on it. But it streams vs. Google Listen which downloads on your device so you can listen to it later in places where you dont get signals.
