I don't own an other android device.A friend of mine has one but it is unrooted and new,is there any chance it will cause any damage on the phone?By the way,i think there is an app on the market called goldcard helper,is it easier to get the CID that way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yes to the app, no to the goldcard causing damage. It doesn't mod anything on the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Georgio002:
okay i have ordered a 2gb sd card so i can make it a goldcard..i'll probably post in one or two days to tell you my progress
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Georgio002:
Got the goldcard working,now it says in hboot/fastboot mode:

heelo i put win7 on my hd2 it kept locking when connecting with zune now chevron wont work tryed everything if i reset phone will i still have my live services or will i need to put activation code back in and certificates for live services thx
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
you have to set everything back up from scratch....the reset wipes out all your settings back to factory defaults.

i suggest following the LEO link (select the correct one based on if you are in the US) and use task29 to do a clean wipe of your phone. then proceed to re-flashing wp7 per wp7 flashing procedures.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Tachi91:
try a rom that already has the chevron hack built in so the only thing you would have to do is put the activation key

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vietxjdm:
I recently hard bricked my phone it wont turn on, hold volume key and try putting in download mode. Connected to Charger no background picture or lighting at all. So i was frustrated and messed around with my phone and apparently unbricked it.

I held down the volume keys power button and plug in a usb jig and it went into download mode after numerous attempts trying to turn on the phone show some kind of lighting to just regulalry use the Usb Jig. if you have a hardbricked sg4g u can try this method.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vietxjdm:
I hold the volume keys for couple sec then plugged in the jig and it went into download mode after numerous attept to get some kind of BAck lighting to use the jig regularly

ack lighting
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Yeah I used a usb JIG to fix my friends captivate the other night. JIG is apparently pretty universal to get into Download mode on samsung phones.

I'll be keeping that JIG handy in case I ever need it again :). I took a iGO power tip and stripped the black rubber off, then disconnected the iGO part from the USB wires. Then slowly removed the silicon plastic from the wires.

Touch the yellow wire and black wire (pin 4 and 5) with 3 connected transistors and bing! download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vietxjdm:
Was his regular bricked? Like it showed some kind of lighting?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
His was bricked in the sense that you could turn it on, but it did nothing. Yes, lighting but nothing happened. No AT&T Logo etc.

As soon as I JIG'ed it (3 seconds holding the transistor ends on the 4 and 5 pin) it instantly brought it into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Jig Picture #1 (Download Mode Via Jig)

Jig Picture #2 (The Jig)

Jig Picture #3 (The transistors with tape)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
JIG ?? what is it?

Where does one get one of these things, and is there any full explination about it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Jig is just another word for tool. In this case a tool to get a bricked samsung device into download mode.

Read up a bit in this thread. I stripped an iGO power tip ($10 at radio shack) that is for the USB port on samsung phones. Then used three transistors wrapped around and covered with tape ($0.99 at radio shack) to touch the yellow and black wire (pin 4 and 5 on the usb end).

This causes the phone to go into download mode when the 3 button salute and other options fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vietxjdm:
You can get one for 8dollars on ebay
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
Yep, you are correct. I already had the materials. Additionally, wasn't a situation where if I had to go get them I wouldn't. Waiting for shipping would be too long.

Definitely multiple ways to get a jig.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
very good info Joe, I bookmarked this in case I run into the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] metalchef:
you're all talking about SOFT bricked devices here...

If you have backlights when you turn the device on, but no on-screen display (no AT&T or custom ROM logo), your device isn't HARD-BRICKED.

With the exception of the first run / initial batch of Galaxy Vibrants, the 3 button recovery and/or download mode options should work just fine (and you don't need a JIG; but it doesn't hurt to have one handy. My buddy's I9000 would NOT go into download without a JIG; but my SGH-I897 would, no problem).

Holding VOL up & VOL down while the device is off and then inserting the USB cable will put you into download mode. if this works, you have SOFT brick, and can breathe easy.

HARD bricked devices have no back-light response -- not from A/C *or* USB. They don't turn on, and the JIG does NOT work... I am speaking from personal experience here. Flashing does have its risks...

The only way I personally know how to fix a HARD-bricked device, is to send it in for warranty repair/replacement (and hope that Samsung doesn't dig too deep into why the device is borked).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
or be one of the lucky few that spent the money on a riff box jtag :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] metalchef:
For the price of a riff box you can buy a new phone (more or less. you're looking at about $229 + shipping -- and there's no guarantee it'll be successful).

The dude who makes Cognition ROM (@designgears), hard-bricked his galaxy and the riff box jtag didn't fix it, FYI (according to his tweets).

After I sent my SGH-I897 in for service, I replaced it with a new-in-box/unopened Dell Streak 5, for CDN$50 (total). So, even if Samsung send it back as-is, I'm only out the cost of the captivate ($550) plus $50-- which, at the end of the day, is still better than a kick in the ass with a frozen mukluk.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zouheirito:
hello guys..

recently i downloaded some ROM and i wanted to flash it, and that wasnt' my frist time i ever flash a rom..

and reset the factor and the cash then reboot and then no respond at all from my Galaxy Note...

not even a light or respond to A/C nor USB..

i tried to make that simple USB JIG but didn't work..and i think it is a hard brick...

so i think i will send it for maintenance, but my serious question is.. is there any chance i will get my NOTE work again? or did i lose it forever??

Ya, I've been waiting for his 2nd video. It's one of the more comprehensive reviews of this awesome device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wtek:
Thanks for sharing! Finally a decent review on youtube! It helps making the decision to wait it out a little bit longer. I hope he's right on the price part too!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
Interesting how he calls it "very intuitive" when there have been people saying its sooo confusing because its not like the Ipad :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] msw1382:
This was the first time I've seen the device with the keyboard attached being used. I can definitively say that I will be buying the dock... If it ever arrives on US soil. With me not having a laptop it should prove useful.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] popophobia:
He just posted a new video about the Polaris software.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Just watched some of the first video. Shame it's so quiet. I wish google would normalise all the audio on videos uploaded to youtube. Just wanted to comment on a few things he said:

-The @Vibe app is for music and streaming radio, not for games, in the UK. Might be different for other countries.

-It's not lightweight. Lighter than other devices but its still not light.

-You get bad stuttery 1080p mkv's if theyre not encoded properly.

-That green screen camera thing is fixed in the latest firmware.

-The refresh rate of the video recording is bad. So is the fps of any video you record. Hopefully it will get fixed. It's meant to do up to 1080p @30fps.

-The playback and quality of the video streaming via Splashtop is ridiculously good as he says. I was surprised.

-He's also right about needing to have several apps to play various files. Feels odd to switch between them to play different formats but its not a problem.

Nice to see the dock in action. Cant wait to get mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Just an offtopic note: normalising wouldn't help in most cases (one high peek in the whole video will make the sound very quiet even normalised). Making sound louder would in most cases require compression and limiting which is not always wanted and can't be done properly by a machine only (if you want to know more - read about loudness war and audio mastering on Wikipedia). :) Normalising could also be very bad for videos recorded in silence - you would hear every background noise that was recorded very loudly.

Splashtop looks very interesting. It's a shame it's only for Macs and Windows (I would like to use it on Ubuntu).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AvRS:
Great detailed review. Just watched both part 1 and 2 and has reassured me that this is definitely the tablet I want. All of the negatives that I read on Engadget or Techradar can't remember which it was seem to be non existent in the video as they said it lags quite noticeably behind touch which it didn't really show and looks like it's going to be a great tablet with lots of future potential. Can't wait to save up and get one which looks to be at around the time stock will be back in with all the delays lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] andyxover:
Hi, Sorry, I should have adjust the volume of the video before I uploaded it, thanks for pointing that out.

@Vibe is like an entertainment center, it has Books, games, and Musics, at least that's how it is in Taiwan, not sure about other country.

and you are right, the video recording is really slow and hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Thanks for pointing out the firmware update, I've yet to update mine, will do and see if anything else is different.

Best,

Guys.....relax....it is real.

I read way back that Miyowa would be the official maker of WLM. If you go and google that company, you will see that they are the official WLM for WP7 as well and not MS.

This was quoted last year when WP7 OS was released:

"Here at Miyowa, we’ve had the pleasure of being able to play around on it (WP7 –ed.) for the past few months, as Microsoft have enlisted Miyowa to create the Windows Live Messenger app for the new OS.

We’ve long been partners with Microsoft, and are their number 1 mobile Windows Live Messenger provider. In fact, it is the success of our mobile WLM app that long ago helped us grow from a company with a couple of people working away in a tiny office, to the multi-national we are today."

Seems like they are also the official Android OS makers as well now too (unlike it's iOS counterpart which is made by MS).
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Windows Live Messenger is NOT YET AVAILABLE! That other app is a STRANGE app! It cannot be official since it doesn't support some hotmail.com registered e-mailadresses!
[XPERIA X10 General] yohorange:
I just go to their page and there is no news on an OFFICIAL WLM APP, they have their own app called "InTouch5 Social Dashboard" and have access to facebook twitter wlm an other...

I still doubt about this app
[XPERIA X10 General] chiewable:

[XPERIA X10 General] epastinante:

Android = Linux

[XPERIA X10 General] Anandc:
This is not by microsoft how is it official?
[XPERIA X10 General] viper619:

Hello all!

I was wondering if it is possible to change my phone Loading Animation (you know, when the phone is off and you turn it on). I use a ROM that has a custom one, but I'd rather have the Android original one.

Is this possible? If it is, can anyone explain to me how I can do that? Thank you!
[Defy Themes and Apps] Created78:
To change the boot animation, just replace the ‘bootanimation.zip’ file in /system/media with whatever animation you want to use. (You can use a file explorer with root access to do this. I use Super Manager, which is free.)

I seem to have unwanted apps connecting to my 3G service every day. According to 3G Watchdog the apps are:

Network Location com.android.qxdmlog

HTC Message Uploader

HTC Sense

I use APNDroid, and use it to turn off 3G at all times. I also have Auto-Sync disabled in my Accounts and Sync settings. I have Background Data enabled, however, as disabling it seems to stop the Market app working.

How can I detect and stop the rogue app from connecting each day?

Had the same problem.

I solved it with that two app's.

The first tell me, which one goes out and the firewall (DroidWall) allowed me to stop that for wifi or umts or both.

But! You need custom Kernel to use the firewall!

Ok, hope could help you.

what is the purpose in disallowing sense to use data ? doesn't it need it to update widgets and such ?

also

if you're going to disallow it access to updates, why use sense ?

I don't think setting up additional layers of applications backgrounded will save any battery life (hint) if that is the intent. take a read into exactly what background data is used for before you start denying acess.

also, those are not rogue applications. :)
