I don't. I also haven't used an anti-virus program on my computer in years. 95% of viruses are caused by stupid users, and the other 5% are fairly obvious when they hit you. Why slow down my computer/phone for the tiny probability that it might actually provide some benefit?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modidlee:
I use Lookout. Not just for malware protection, I use it for the device locater, too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Anti-virus on the phone is pointless IMO. If you get a virus on your phone you either don't know what you are doing, or you are downloading paid apps from the internet that have viruses in them, and installing them on your phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenCyn:
I use LookOut because i won a years premium subscription from AndroidCentral. It does slow my TB down a bit, but mostly when i install new apps.

Hi, I wonder if I could play video & music from an android phone using something like MoboPlayer, when the files are on my PC.

Is there an app that would somehow let me map a network drive (via wifi) so that MoboPlayer or something could just brows it as if the files were on the SD card?

It's OK, I've found it! CifsManager works perfectly for me.

I have been looking around, trying to get a general idea on how to get started in the wonderful world of Android ROM development.

It seems that information is spread out amongst different sources, and that there isn't really anywhere that has all of this information together (to my knowledge at least).

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, and or assist me in any way. It would be much appreciated! ^.^

I have been following stuff here on XDA for a while, and just finally decided to make an account. So, I apologize if this is posted under the wrong section, and/or this question has been asked a million times before. I know how annoying that can be. I searched around before I made this post, so I don't believe I am re asking a common question, unless of course I missed something.

Thank you all! :D

[G Tablet General] savage0:
Recently, I found a strange thins~(my rom is vegan5.1.1)

I have copied some files (which include the video files and doc files) from my laptop to my micro sdcard in gtablet(patriot 8G 4 class). I copied them through the wifi by using "ES files explorer".

1,2 days later, I found that all the video files which I have copied to the sdcard lost! but the doc files exist!

Then i did some test, and found that it is not cause by the power off/on of the gtablet. The video files will suddenly disappear, maybe 2 hour later, or 2 days later...just a random time...for no reason...

besides that, the if I copy some video files by mounting my sdcard in my laptop, and then I put the sacard in my tablet, these vedio files will not lost even several days later...

anyone ever have the similar issue?

I just want to know why! why just the video files?

this problem is caused by the ROM, or ES files explorer, or my micro sdcard?

thanks!
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
It's known bug with Vegan B511.

Use ES File manager to create folder named .nomedia (dot nomedia) and put all your video files in there.
[G Tablet General] savage0:
Thanks

btw, so if I want put some picture or audio files, I also need to create folder named .nomedia to resist the auto delete?
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Auto delete only happen to video and image files. Audio is fine.

Create .nomedia folder and put all video & image files in there.

I like the stock email.. works fine with my exchange server and the features that it is supposedly lacking are features that I dont really use, so I dont notice. The widget is just awesome and I love that I can easily access recent emails from my homescreen. I find myself more and more using the tablet for email while I use my laptop for the heavier work. Its great being able to have the email open on my tablet so I can read detailed instructions or long lists while I work on a project. So all I'm looking for in an email client is: works with my exchange, displays my emails on my tablet (wow! I'm needy), and has some sort of search. The widget's just an added bonus.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zukа:
Hey guys, for some reason I'm unable to perform a Task29 or flash anything from MAGLDR 1.13's USB flasher mode.

Here's what happened.

I was using CMYLXGO's stock Desire HD ROM and having data problems, so I tried to change my kernel to Tytung's using CWM. After I did that, Android stopped booting - kernel load fail. I don't know how to fix that, so I figured I'd just do a clean install.

When I tried to do a Task29 from the 3 color screen, I get stuck at "Verifying information from your PDA phone..." It then tells me it can't establish a USB connection. I ran the program as administrator.

Okay, I said to myself, I'll try reflashing CWM from MAGLDR's USB Flasher. I got "Wait USB... USB." and tried, but DAF.exe also told me it couldn't establish a USB connection.

I know the USB connection is working, because I've tried it with two different cords and reformatted the SD card through MAGLDR's USB mass storage mode, which still works.

Can anybody help me out? Currently I can't boot android, don't have windows mobile and am f**ked...

Thanks,

Zuka
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zukа:
I think I've solved it, if anyone else is having the same problem. I believe it's because I uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Center when I moved to android full time.

Hello,

Wanted to see if anyone has managed to get this downloaded. I haven't gotten a game from them in a while, but now when pressing the SMS link they send you to download, I get constant redirects until I get a data error. Has anyone else had this problem?

*Edit* Nevermind, got the apk to dl from gamelofts servers. I couldn't get the SMS link to work, but I found that they put a dl link on the order receipt that I received via email. I also used an i9000 user agent code for 2.1 I found in the forums just to make sure - not sure if that did anything though.

Maybe this will help someone else or at least advertise for someone who wants it but didn't know it was out.
[XPERIA X8 General] xiaofatty1:
Hey guys, ve recently found out that androids can soon play playstation games. but it requires android 2.3 and above. so for x8s running of android 2.3(eg Gingerbread) can they play the playstation games? and can they support FLVs ?(according to my knowledge flash player needs 2.2 or above)

and also ve found out that sony has stopped updating x8 OS, eclair 2.1 is the latest and last ( or something like that) but since we can change our x8 to other OS like 2.3s , why are so many people still so frustated ? (just want to understand more ~ im a newbie)

so many stuff - Flashing roms~ JiT ~ xRecovery ~

Which step should i take first? can somebody tell me haha.. just tell me what to do and ill go and search and download and THANK YOU! =)

People say the 2.3 is still not stable yet. Camera not working, wifi not working(but i believe that some of the bugs are fixed).. Can anyone tell me the latest condition? What's not working?

sorry for my bad english. Detail explainations would be lovely!!　TT
[XPERIA X8 General] nyirog:
Hi

I dont know too much about playstation games to x8, but i dont think is so simply.

Flash player will not work in x8 because of cpu limitations

Quadrant: most popular benchmark app for android. See in market

Cyanogen mod is a good custom rom made by a xda member

Flash rom: install a custom rom

The most stable rom at the moment is the minicm 2.2.1 See that topic in x8 developement section. 2.3 is not too stable, has some bugs. Nor recommended for everyday use
[XPERIA X8 General] rafcamora91:
Here you have custom rom's made by ratch's (thank's to him for his work)

and beforre you get xRecovery you must root your phone (easyest way with SuperOneClick) search on youtube and you will see how that work...
[XPERIA X8 General] xiaofatty1:
OK thanks so much and what's Jit? and according to my knowledge xrecovery is for backing up the original firmware we ussing?
[XPERIA X8 General] xiaofatty1:
thanks dude. btw what dya mean by not recommended for everyday use? r u trying to say that the longer a not-so-good stuff is used in our phones, the more dangerous it will be? and does minicm2.2.1 require anything other than xrecovery?
[XPERIA X8 General] rafcamora91:
yes for backup your curent OS and restore new (2.2 or 2.3 android)

I don't know exactly what is Jit, i just know that has to do with performanceof your phone!
[XPERIA X8 General] rafcamora91:
for every custom you will need xRecovery, because you restore (or flash) miniCM or ratch's 2.2 or 2.3
[XPERIA X8 General] nyirog:
Jit= just in time

Android 2.1 translate the java code with precaching, but if you enable jit the code interpreter translating in real time, doesnt use cache. So it is faster
[XPERIA X8 General] nyirog:
Not recommended for everyday use because relatively usually reboot, freeze, etc

Camera and FM radio doesent work also

Okay i wanna ask a question :D

Link2sd needs two partitions in ur sd..i have..One for normal usage and one for apps only.

I just installed cm7 rom and ive found out that it only uses the free space my first partition and the free space of my 1st partition becomes its "everything". so for my cm7 rom, theres no 2nd partition. how can i get link2sd work on my cm7 rom then?
[XPERIA X8 General] zieju:
2.3 roms use only fat32 partition. Backup data from sd and format sd as fat32
[XPERIA X8 General] xiaofatty1:
okay maybe im not detail enough..

i was using stock rom 2.1.1.a.0.6,

and my sd has 2 partitions, both FAT32 , i call them :

a) for normal usage

b) for creating links using link2sd

so now i installed the 2.3rom into (a) and it becomes as if it only has one partition. so im just wondering can we use the partition tool shown in the xrecovery menu to solve this, to divide my (a) into 2 partitions.

Sorry for being noob =)
[Nexus One General] GnatGoSplat:
Just a couple hours after I got my used, out of warranty N1, it quit recognizing the Micro SD card. I put that card in two different USB readers, and it's so fried, the readers aren't even recognized by USB with the card in it. Unfortunately, the bad card also shorted out something on the phone, because now it won't read any SD card at all, and I tried 3 others!

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out if I need a new MicroSD flex board. One suspicious thing, is I've find pin 8 of the MicroSD socket has continuity to ground. That's supposed to be the DAT1 pin, and I bet it's supposed to show 2.7V like DAT0 and DAT2 pins. I even took apart my USB SD card readers to compare voltages, and they show 3.3V on DAT0, DAT1, and DAT2. If anyone has an N1 that is apart, or will be taking one apart soon, or just have a spare MicroSD flex laying around, and also have a multimeter, would you please measure to see if there is continuity between pin 8 and ground (i.e. metal shell of the MicroSD socket)? The socket has 8 pins and with the phone oriented with its top pointed away from you, the pins are 1 thru 8 left to right.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadedRedDragon:
I am trying to put Clockwork Recovery on the Vibrant and when I first boot it I need to manually select "reinstall packages". I usually have to do this two times in a row and then it boots into the cw recovery. But when I reboot into the recovery it boots back into the samsung recovery and I have to select "reinstall packages" again to get into cw. This isn't normal correct? I saw that I should only have to do this once and then it should boot into cw recovery everytime with no problems. The phone came with 2.2 stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
In my experience with stock roms, i have to hit re-install packages twice to go to clockwork recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadedRedDragon:
Well what I am wondering is do you have to do that everytime you want to go into the recovery? Also could that possibly affect the phone to where I would not be able to restore it back to factory if something were to go wrong if I flashed a new ROM?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
i assume you have rom manager right? You can do select reboot into recovery so that it will bring you straight to clockwork mod recovery. Also there's an app called "quick boot", that can make you go to recovery or download mode faster.

And no that won't affect anything when you want to flash another rom.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemw2:
Your fine. Recovery will not effect going to back to stock because odin overrides all. Like the other guy said when your using a stock rooted rom you almost always have to hit it twice. Flash a custom rom and it will always go into recovery with out a hitch.
