When reading your comment a phrase that was relatively popular at some time came to mind. I do believe that it had something to do with untying one's knickers...

Good stuff though, I don't really understand why they did it... and I'd love an actual unboxing video :)

I suppose it's called chatter and peripheral marketing. If you can get one of your products into a viral video by people saying "watch this video of the eejit in the stunt plane" then it's a success

[General Questions and Answers] mingolianbeef:
Devs, i have been watching some of the other threads for other phones, and i must say... WHY NOTHING FOR MYTOUCH 3G SLIDE??? it is very little left for the slide. HTCCLAY Superfly used to be an amazing software (now i am all cyanogenmod, absolutely the greatest) now the software (updated) wont even install on my phone. WHy is it that phones like the Mytouch series and phones similar are no longer being touched, rather being replaced with the EVO and others like that. Come on people, now i am not a developer, i am working on becoming one though, so this is NOT A BASHING session devs. Better yet, let me say some good stuff...:

1. CyanogenMod 7 is AMAZING

2. Rooting a phone is AWESOME

3. ANDROID itself is AMAZING

4. I love the open source freedom of the android OS and phones

5. Devs thank you because without u my phone would SUCK A**

6. i would love to develope one day and be amongst amazing others like u

7. I LOVE XDA DEVELOPERS (SITE AND PEOPLE)
[Xperia Arc General] King_36:
Hi

Can someone say me how i create a .ftf file from my SEUS Backup (blob_fs)?

greetings
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
In that folder, take the two biggest files (150MB and 16MB estimated) and copy them inside a folder like on your desktop

Download Bin4ry FlashTool and then go to the second tab in the program and select decrypt and then select the folder you have placed those two files and then after decrypting it will start the bundle which needs some information you put in then OK and you .ftf file will be ready.

quick and dirty explanation.hope it helps

EDIT1: make sure in FlashTool folder under loaders(folder) you have the lt15.sin. If you don't have it I have uploaded it somewhere here if you couldn't find it let me know. This is needed to make the ftf for ARC.
[Xperia Arc General] King_36:
Edit: i found this file lt15.sin

greetings
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Down load THIS and rename it LT15.sin instead of loader.sin and place it in Flashtool loader folder and you should be set.

regards,

EDIT: actually I have it here uploaded check it out HERE
[Xperia Arc General] King_36:
@Nimche what should i do ? which file should i select?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Select all those on the left and move them to the right by clicking that button then fill out the form on top with information ie: LT15i (first) 3.0.A.181(second) and what market it is(on third) base on what your file actually is but before you hit OK make sure that that LT15.sin is in loader folder + on the next step you will select arc (last option)

Good luck
[Xperia Arc General] King_36:
Thank you very much @Nimche

You have helped me a lot :)

[Xperia Arc General] 2000saaber:
Problem with choosing the device

Hey! At first want to thank you for your Help

I'm just tryin to create a Stock-Rom and when I come to the point of choosing the Device there actualy is the Arc but the field seems to be an "Or" field and not "Xor"

One of the fields "X10 / X10 Mini / X10 Mini pro / X8" always is chosen. The Arc can't be chosen exclusively.

What to do now?

And two other questions...

1st: The file I'm creating maybe of higher importance for a lot of people in the german Arc community, so I want to be sure that none of my personal data is in the ROM included I am creating... can I ?

2nd: Is it generally necessary or recommended to unlock the bootloader and to Root my new Phone when I am only interested in a clean unbranded OS ? I just want to delete the rubbish my provider treats me to have!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
If there is program issue, you better off contact Androxyde to solve issues with the software.

In order to get the files from blob_fs folder it means that you have already downloaded the files from SE Server and that means there is no user information associated with the file.

If you want to clean junk apps from the ROM pre-installed you have to get root permission to uninstall them and I think @ this moment only way to root is to have unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Arc General] matthussey:

Recently flashed from stock to CM7. However, I have tons of voice memos recorded to my SD card on the DINC using the app built into Sense.

The built-in Sound Recorder App can't access my previously recorded memos. What app can bring back my voice memos? Can I get the one built-in to Sense from Titanium Backups that I made? Thanks!

HTC Droid Incredible

ROM: CM7 Stable

Kernel: Tiamat_Inc 3.3.7

Radio: 2.15.00.04.08

Root: S-OFF by Unrevoked Forever

Recovery:: ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.8
[Droid Incredible General] rmd0311:
So the screen on my Incredible got a small crack after dropping it. Overnight the crack took over the whole top part of the screen. No biggie, that's what I pay Asurion to protect my investment. Except that they have no Incredibles in stock and will not get any more. They say is discontinued. They offer me either a new Droid X or a refurb Fascinate. Both are huge so I just went with the new one. After 13 months with the incredible it sucks that this happened. Was hoping to carry that baby all through the two years.

I guess I just have to hope that the Development on the X is just as good.

Thanks to the two main developers I used (HeyItsLou and R2DoesInc) and to everyone else for all you did.
[Droid Incredible General] barn07:
Sell your replacement on ebay and buy another Dinc on eBay!!!!
[Droid Incredible General] spatton:
I should write your name down and contact you in a month. I might be 1/2 tempted to have an "incident"...

I've heard the battery life on the X is far superior.
[Droid Incredible General] rmd0311:
I have a 2150mah HTC extended battery. I can sell it to you cheap. Its bulky but effective.

Say 25 + shipping or 30 shipped.
[Droid Incredible General] spatton:
How much does it add to the back of the phone?

I had an issue with my Otter Box, so I have a new back panel coming. I've been thinking about trying something to go to the 2150. With a spare back panel - I am wondering if I could cut out the "window" - but still use the outer rubber cover. Having never held one in my hand, I don't knot know if the battery + case is 1mm, 5 mm, 10 mm thicker...

[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
I agree with this! Not anywhere near the development going on with the X. Locked bootloader so no flashing custom roms, kernels, radios, etc. Initially had a D2 and bought the Inc solely because of this.
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
The INC is a great phone just got a refurb from verizon today due to speaker issues, Hoping the Inc2 drops this month.. and be on the look out for Skyraider4.0 this weekend. the Inc has the best dev, along with the Eris. the inc2 I imagine wont be as popular but u never know. I'm just getting the Inc2 to hold me over til april 2012
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
What's happening in april of 2012?
[Droid Incredible General] ACD168:
lol just my contract is up. sorry. shoulda mentioned that,
[Droid Incredible General] sruel3216:
god the X is no where near as good as the Inc. i came from an X and was all into flashing new roms. except all the roms are so LIMITED since the bootloader! i couldnt believe how much better it was over here in the Inc forum. so much you can do with this phone.

inc vs x non-rooted: inc wins

inc vs x rooted: inc wins, not even close
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
Ah, I was thinking you were holding out for a specific phone that was going to be released at that time. You had me intrigued. ;)
[Droid Incredible General] kaze06:
The only thing I've ever liked about the X was the keyboard due to the bigger screen...but downloading Smart Keyboard solved that issue.

My DInc does everything I want it to and does it smooth as butter, plus it has a ridiculous aftermarket ROM support base. Can't argue with that.

Also, AMOLED :D
[Droid Incredible General] rmd0311:
The lock bootloader on the Droid X is causing a huge lack of support for it... Ugh, very few ROM's.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Very few ROM's on the X and no custom Kernel's or anything fancy.

My sister has an X and I rooted it for her, Liberty ROM would be a great choice with use of Launcher Pro.

Honestly after you load that ROM onto it it's really snappy and fast and I like many aspects better. Still though, my main reason for going with the incredible was the small size, other than that the X is a top phone.

Just don't stick with the crap motorola loads it with, it's a useless turd with that stuff on it.
[Droid Incredible General] SoCalSpecialist:
reason being for the X replacement (dont know if it was mentioned here) is due to the fact that the Incredible 2 is being dropped on Apr 28th.

SO what they're trying to weed out all of the old to make space for the new.
[Droid Incredible General] rmd0311:
It ain't the 28th yet. I tell you if I did not feel this phone was a drop or bad stare away from having a fully non functional screen, I would just keep it. But a small ding in the center first moved to the right. After a while to the left and now its a slice of the whole top. Just like a windshield.
[Droid Incredible General] Cadillac Kid:
I too started my android life on the X. Flashed ROMs all the time, did research and found out about the locked boot loader, especially after some clown faked that he cracked it...

Anyways, I traded my X straight up for a dinc and am very happy I made the trade.

Roms on the X are weak in comparison.
[Droid Incredible General] renzo.olivares:
I had a droid 2 but it felt kind of slow and the ui motoblur was ugly so i switched it out for an inc
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
Ditto. Liberty rom was good but not being able to have truly custom roms and flash kernels, radios, etc, sucked.
[Droid Incredible General] rmd0311:
Well., I had no choice.... But I have thought about selling and buying a DINC... This weekend I soft bricked the DX twice. The locked bootloader makes flashing ROMs not as simple as the DINC... I tried Liberty and am current on APEX... They are ok and I will see what life is like.

Worst case, I sell it in a week and buy me a slightly used DINC.

Roddy
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
You can get $250 on ebay n buy a dinc for about the same or a little less
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
i thought insurance said they will replace your phone with something of equal or greater value. a DX is lower then an INC.... :(
[Droid Incredible General] zerocool79346:
Uh, no. While it may be lesser value you to us who care about rooting, I can promise you my roommate, who doesn't have a clue what a custom ROM is, would never ever trade his X for my Inc. He is a much better example of the common masses than anyone who frequents XDA is.
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
i think its more of i cant believe that moto could make a good phone after the razr... i went through 13 razr's and VZW offered me a en-V as a replacement. plus it looks like a tech deck skate board ramp...
[Droid Incredible General] cstrife999:
I agree with some, but non rooted I disagree. Droid X has far more raw horsepower I feel. When it comes to gaming it's a fact.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rothnic:
Confirmed by Anand in his comments:

"I just confirmed with ASUS, the US version does have GPS hardware. Maps seems to require an active WiFi connection to use GPS however, which is why I originally assumed it wasn't present. My mistake, I've corrected the review :)

Take care,

Anand "

"That was an error on my part - sorry about that! There is GPS hardware in the Eee Pad Transformer.

Take care,

Anand "

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4277/asus-eee-pad-transformer-review (Page 5 of comments)

So it just doesn't include a GPS application with map data, but should work with Google Maps if a data connection is present. At least that is how i interpret that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jocelyn:
Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TJNooker:
Thanks for the update!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I take it to mean that Google Maps only uses a GPS when there's an Internet connection, which is likely true for any device. The Asus has normal GPS in a tablet, and will work with whatever.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kgdg:
Ya thats what I am thinking, since even on Android smartphones, this is the case...

*Phew*
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rothnic:
Yeah exactly, just like a regular android phone with GPS. Except the tablet doesn't have a cell radio, so you will have to accomodate for that.

Either tether, or get some type of preloaded data GPS app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
I asked Asus on there official facebook profile i got this

Me - AnandTech.com says that there is no GPS, even though Asus's official specs say there is. Is it true?

http://www.facebook.com/ASUSASUS Official Page ‎@Dan - sorry, that's correct. No GPS in North America, but it is available in some regions which is why it's listed on the official ASUS site

ASUS Official Page N.A has location GPS but not Navigation GPS to clarify

http://www.facebook.com/ASUS/posts/182761815105072

:confused::confused::confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
just an FYI, you no longer need a data connection to use google maps, since the latest release, they started using Vector maps, which can store much more data in a much smaller space, so they now have caching for commonly visited areas, so as long as you run through your route while you have a wifi connection, it should be able to run you without connection due to caching.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jocelyn:
Are you ******* kidding me? lol

The OP totally clears all of this up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MrSewerPickle:
No it totally doesn't have GPS and you should probably move along a buy another tablet instead......:)

On a much less sarcastic side note, that is awesome that they included the chip for GPS. Wonder if its the Broadcomm BCM4751....:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
I was just showing what Asus said on their Facebook page

No need to freak out about it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tineras:
This wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me, but it's nice to know that it's in there. We are all such terrible feature whores these days. Imagine if we had to go back to the era of pagers and pay phones!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] junks2010:
What the heck did they mean by "N.A has location GPS but not Navigation GPS"?

My guess is that (s)he does not know what (s)he is talking about. From his/her comment, I think (s)he meant the tablet has a GPS chip to give location but no software for navigation.

If we install any map software including google map(may need wifi), this should work, right?
[General Topics] skydoll:
I manage a large group of people (175 members total) who communicate primarily by text messages. There are times when I must create, forward and or edit text messages to disseminate to the group. In the last 2 months, I have installed and uninstalled every application available in order to help the texting process be more efficient for me and the group. TO DATE, NOTHING HAS WORKED! Each application crashes my phone or simply can not handle the amount of messages sent out at one time. Nor can it handle the frequency of messages sent out in a minimal amount of time. Even after increasing the elapsed time between sent messages (which is counter productive for me), I still receive error messages or crashing problems. I have even tried creating smaller groups of people using the standard text feature on the EVO and I still receive the same problems.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR ME....Or can you suggest a phone that has mass texting capabilities with the option to edit text messages that are being forwarded and more importantly......IT WILL NOT CRASH!

Thanks

Basically it is OTA so,

Select the Settings icon in the main menu

Select "About phone"

Select "System updates"

Select "Download"

After the software is downloaded, select "Install"

After the software is installed, your phone will re-start automatically

Your phone is now updated with 34.4.9 software.

Mine is updating now!
[Defy General] iamnik:
What region are you?
[Defy General] Jakethepeg:
think its tmobile us :(
[Defy General] iamnik:
Probably, the other thread is talking about it.

Might as well ask now, do we have to unroot before upgrading?
[Defy General] Jakethepeg:
can we unroot ?

I know we used to be able with the old superclick, but not sure now :confused:
[Defy General] Junglenutz:
Super one click is not working for me :( i get this error

and it just repeats over and over thats a shame because there is so much damn bloatware.
[Defy General] iamnik:
^ So is the update unrootable? That sucks, I read the Australian OTA was rootable on another thread here.

I don't know if we can unroot the 2.1, I just saw the option on superoneclick when I rooted it and assumed that it could :confused:
