Is it something to do with CM7?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef2:
ok, my vibrant is still stock 2.1(backup phone never upgraded lol) I want to put GB on... from where i am at now i need to root it with the eclair rooter or can i use super1click? also, once rooted i cannot put cwr on as i see...what recovery can i put on to flash the gb bootloaders? and then the rom?

Kinda lost on this..damn backup phone!

thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
rooting 2.1

You can easily root 2.1 by putting the update.zip package that I uploaded on the root of your phones sd card then booting into recovery using the three button combo, then choose to reinstall packages and bam you are rooted. That is unless your phone is hardware locked. You can search for the rest in the forums. at least you have something to start with.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chef2:
how would i know if i was hardware locked?

ty for the update.zip
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
Your welcome, And for the hardware lock, if when the phone is off and you hold the power and volume buttons in until you see the samsung vibrant screen come up then disappear then come up again, release only the power button and keep holding the volume buttons. The phone should boot into a recovery mode. If it's all stock it should be blue letters mainly. If after many attempts the phone just boots up like normal unless you are doing it wrong it most probably is hardware locked. If that's the case I suggest you make or buy yourself a download mode jig before you mess with the phone and end up with a brick.

Posted too early. After ODIN'g the files here, I got to 2.1 stock. I wanted to upgrade to the office TMO 2.2 firmware, so connected to KIES Mini and upgraded it.

Im stupid and left my charger at home. I dont have time to get one online. Verizon and tmobile want 30 bucks. Anyone know of a brick and mortar store in northeast america that sells affordable chargers?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Tarzanman:
If you left your PDMI cable at home then you're screwed. For the most part, not even the big box stores carry PDMI cables.

If you have the cable but not the charger, then a target or walmart should have USB chargers that plug into a wall socket

Hello, I am a developer... I have developed apps for android phones, and I simply want to put the same apps in the windows phone market... I successfully built the app in Visual Studio 2010 express for windows phone... I've tested it on the emulator... works same way it works on the android phone... Question: Do I need a windows phone at all in order to publish the app? Really don't see the need to buy one... Thank you for any help... Also if any one develops adult natured apps... Question: Have they had any problems publishing the app to the market as far as MS content guidelines?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxandxss:
You don't need a phone, and in my yet limited experience, some things works on the emulator and not in the phone. Is better if you send it to some testers and then publish it.

And you need a developer account that is 99$/y.

And adult apps are not allowed. Here is a extract from "Windows Phone 7 Application Certification Requirements":

3.6 Adult Related Content

Content not allowed:

Sex / Nudity – Images that are sexually suggestive or provocative (e.g. sexually provocative touching, bondage, masturbation); provocative images that reveal nipples, genitals, buttocks, or pubic hair.

Content that a reasonable person would consider to be adult or borderline adult content (images, text, or audio).

Content that generally falls under the category of pornography.

Content that depicts or suggests prostitution.

Content depicting sexual fetishes.

Content of a sexual nature depicting children or animals.

And no, you cannot try the apps on xbox.

[Nook Color General] fmkaiba:
I hope someone knows the answer to this...

The DPI of the nook color is rated for 169dpi, yet the build.prop has it set to 161.

Changing it to the hardware correct value even solves some little graphics bugs. Like the "line on notification bar"

So why does it not match HW
[Nook Color General] robot8:
As explained by dal:
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
You can use 169. Despite what people think, 160 is the best value to use for the Nook. Anything other than 160 means extrapolation or interpolation must take place. This is why nearly every HDPI phone uses 240, not 231 or 248, despite their real world DPI. However, there is a bug in the Android Market @ 160 on tablet size screens. For now I have it set to 161 to get around that bug. I don't use 169 because icons and such are more blurry due to the extra extrapolation needed. Until Google fixes the market there isn't a good DPI for us to use. Each has its own problems, 161 has a line in the notification bar but sharp icons, 169 doesn't have a line in the notification bar but has blurry icons....etc
[Nook Color General] 911jason:
Dalingrin, are you aware of any ill effects from running lower DPIs, such as 140?

That's where I've had mine for months, and I love it. Then again, I'm also running at 1920x1080 on my 15" laptop.
[Nook Color General] fmkaiba:

go to the g2x dev section, go to the recovery topic, read everything, wait a bit, read it again, understand what you need to do, read it one more time in case you didnt do it the first two times, flash the custom recovery, then be fruitful and prosper

Is ANYBODY using the Streak 5 tethered on version 2.2 as a modem via usb.

If so, how did you do it? I want to use the AT&T data plan.

I just updated from version 1.6 to 2.2 because they said on this forum that I'd be able to tether via modem.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william58:
Finally got it all to work! Here is how to do it.

Get the driver you need here:

dell-streak-5-tablet-driver-download

PdaNet app for Streak5 via usb to Samsung R580 laptop running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit

The install went fine as long as you follow directions ...

1.) Download PdaNet app from the link.. version for Android ...

2.) run app to install on your PC ..

3.) the program will ask you to connect your Streak via the usb cable ...

4.) Before Connecting go to Settings|Applications|Development| click Use Debugging

5.) This one not needed…

6.) Close All PC Apps ...

7.) Then following on Screen directions Connect Streak..

8.) Status bar USB alert .. Select it and choose ...DO Not Mount

9.) the PC will then Detect new hardware ... choose auto-detect and wait for install to complete ..

10.) Wait for install to completely finish ... (follow on screen connections)

11) Go into the apps on your Streak and run the PdaNet | Turn PdaNet ON

note: as the app is updated the prompts may change ... so look closely

at your pc system tray as well as the prompts on your phone.

ver.2.4.1 has a button that says "Enable USB Tether" (click it)

12.) Now return to the PC System Tray and Click on PdaNet icon to Connect ...

Yea... Connection to the internet ... via your Streak...

This posting was all done while connected (tethered -- via Streak) I did not Try Wifi to check it out ... so not sure if you can connect thru your home Wifi...

BTW : Your Streak will also be Charging from your laptop during this as well ...

Connection was at 2.4 Mps ... not lighting speed but better than not being connected ... and why I wanted it as I'm on the road alot.

I bought a set of 10 and they didn't cover the buttons.

I bought another set of 10 and they were too wide and would curl up at the edgeß because they extended over too far.

The otterbox for this phone did not come with a built in screen protector.

I need screen protectors. Im rough on my phone. Any recommendations? Post a link to a good manufacturer or retailer so I can buy some which work and are cheap so I can replace them frequently.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If your buying a set of 10, then something tells me that they are not that good to begin with. Anytime i have bought a screen protector it has been 1. Unless the purpose was to cover 10 phones I don't see why anyone would buy a set of 10. After all you only need 1 protector to cover your phone.. unless they are complete crap and you go through em.

but really.. spend the money, buy a nice one. There are a couple out there that have great reviews and even some that will insure your device even more. I don't use em for a couple reasons.. but i think zagg and gorilla glass are ones you could look into.. just my 2cents;)

I found that real look brand in really nice. When it is installed you can't tell its there. I think it came with two films for about 10 bucks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
I don't spend "the money" on expendable items. I had an iPhone previously and I would spent alot on the screen protector because my otterbox had a very hard piece of scratch resistant plastic on the front covering the screen. On this phone, I have been through several screen protectors. I need some cheap ones because theyare going to get damaged

Im not planning on spending more them $3 per screen protectorbecause of the frequency which I damage them. I want a cheap, low quality, thin, maybe even slightly too small, easily scratchable, maybe even difficult to apply screen protector.

I don't want a reputible name brand. I want cheap screen protection that works and actually covers thewhole screen because I am rough with my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Hey man all I'm saying is spend 3 dollars all the time (if you really are scratching your screen that much) or spend 20 and have some sort of warranty or replacement. Or maybe be a little more careful with your exspensive phone. ;)

"Skinomi" is a good brand, been using it ever since I bought my cappy. I dropped mine in wet mud one time, It took me about 10 mins to clean it and it looked brand new. Very strong material :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
I keep that on my dev phone inside its otterbox. It does not leave the house. The "self healing" capability only goes so far. It is really only good for keeping the dust inside an otterbox from scratching the phone. The screen protector is very weak. It gouges easily and under normal applications it has a rippley surface on the face.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welchertc:
Definitely agree with the above posts. The pack of 3 from at&t is actually made by Real Look. The pack costs 10 bucks. They apply easily, are super durable, and stay slick like the bare glass so swyping and cleaning the screen is super easy. Each one will last me a good 3 months if I don't gouge it, and that's fairly hard to do with how durable they are. Don't waste your time or money with anything else.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
That's what I started using... I have 3 phones. Those last my wife's phone a good long time. My dev phone 3 months, and my personal phone about 1 month. I may order some real look brand if they are actually the same.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welchertc:
I'm almost positive they are the same. One package that I bought from at&t even had real look branding on the included stuff...unless I was delusional or something. To further reassure i wasn't seeing things though, I suggested real look to a friend for his iPhone 4, and the ones he got are the same material, so I'm almost positive that at&t's are made by real look.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Woot! I found some. 5 screen protectors for $1.59 from Amazon Seller ID: eTECH

I ordered 3 sets for a grand total of 4.77. The guy had a special going on where you order 3 items and receive a 10-in-one USB SDCard reader. So For a total of $11.71 (including shipping), I received 15 screen protectors and a USB SDCard reader.

They aren't as slick and smooth as the AT&T ones, but these are the cheap expendable protection which can be changed on a whim. This is what I was looking for.

Here's a link.. 3 for a dollar. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Captivate-Crystal-Screen-Protector/dp/B0040IUGG6 That's 1/10th of the AT&T price.

[G Tablet General] Just Jack:
Is Smartbench a valid benchmark?

OK, two things in one post...

First - I've tried a couple of screenshotting programs to try and document what I've found so far, but both (AndroSS and Shoot Me(IIRC))have generated nothing but blank black 1024x600 files. So what are y'all using to get the screenshots?

I'm running VEGAn 7.0.0 RC1

Second, I decided to try out the Smartbench 2011 on my gTab, and had very inconsistent results (hence the desire for screenshots). According to Smartbench, my stock (except for ROM) gTab at 1Ghz hits speeds close to what others are hitting with 1.3 and 1.4Ghz OCed machines. I topped out at around 3725 or so, where the "stock" gTab listed in the results page was around 2800 or so. That's a full third faster than the reported stock speed. Rebooting my gTab dropped me back down to the realm of stock (2800-ish), but I've found a way to repeat my results after doing it a few times. Unfortunately, this calls into question the overall accuracy of Smartbench's testing algorithms.

I reloaded the three apps I had running when I hit the higher speed:

- Words Free (WWF for Android)

- Scrabble Helper

- Dolphin HD with the translate, site to PDF and TabMix plugins

Then loaded up the XDA website and read a number of pages in the forum, swipe scrolling up and down through the article listings.

Then I ran Smartbench again. Back into the 3000s. More browsing and scrolling, ran it again. 3300 or so, and it's stayed thereabouts since then. I haven't noticed a >30% increase in response or overall speed, so I think the numbers are actually incorrect.

Could someone please see if they can repeat these results? Also, if I can get a working screenshot program, I'll post what I get.
