Thanks! Saw someone doing the same concept on iOS.

Same here. I am running 4.2.2 on a nexus 5 and get the same thing. I am looking for a way to control phone through USB only. No internet this program seems to only do the display half of thing unfortunately. It is so frustrating that it's all over internet which I would think is much more complicated than just plug in and control but apparently not. Just getting so frustrated now.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] wonderbars:
I'm on a SGS2 i727R (rogers/fido version) Skyrocket running JB 4.1, rooted, usb debugging enabled and also cannot control through androidscreencast, only view. Phone's screen is busted, digitizer is gone but the non-screen touch buttons respond, as I'm able to make screenshots (power/stndby + home). My lockscreen is pattern so to manually input touch events to unlock my pattern seems pretty daunting.

To mention, I did buy another i727 (at&t version), did a blind backup of the broken one through cwm (4down, enter, 5down, enter) and restored it to the new one but all the calendar entries and notes I took through samsung's bloatware sNote, didn't restore and I had a lot of them. I can't seem to find where they're located on the filesystem and I never had a samsung account (required to sync your notes and calendar entries) so they're not backed up online. My guess is they might be encrypted locally and only be available to the same device/uid, though I might be wrong.

I was hoping to use androidscreencast to get past the unlock screen (pattern lock) and eventually export or sync the notes and calendar entries. Considering the phone's rooted, I'm wondering why I can't input touch events using androidscreencast. Is there an ADB command or a variable I have to change for this to be possible?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishtangli:
Bought my Tab from Singapore back in Nov'10 and as soon as I got home, I immediately updated it to DXJK2 (which was the latest official rom available at that time).

Last week, my friend bought one from a local retailer here in the Philippines. When he showed it to me, I was surprised to learn that it had a newer rom (the unit is not carrier locked) pre-installed. Since both of our units were Asian, I thought there might be a rom update available for my unit as well. So when I got home, I immediately connected my Tab to Kies and, surprise, no update available.

I know that there is an official 2.2.1 update available from samfirmware.com. My question is, how come if there are so many newer roms available, Kies doesnt find any for mine? Im talking bout only official roms here loaded from Kies. I know I can still force it to update with Odin but that kinda defeats the point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
I'm about to exchange my transformer for another with hopefully less light-bleed. Is there an easy way to back everything up? If not is there an app I can buy that will copy everything to SD card?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Are you rooted? If so, I suggest using Titanium Backup.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreadnought001:
I use my backup pro on my phone and I've found that a very easy, foolproof way to do it, especially if you don't have root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Thanks guys. No, the TF101 isn't rooted, so I'll give the 2nd option a try.

I've installed Kies but it won't run on my xp pro 64 bit. It did work before I updated to Gingerbread but since then ,nothing. Kies won't run,either with the phone connected or not. Think it's more a problem of the pc but can't find a solution online. I have tried uninstalling,rebooting and re installing both Kies and the USB drivers to no avail. Attached file of error when trying to run Kies. Kies did connect ok when I could get it running but now I can't even get it to run.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
have you tried running as administrator ?? also what about running in compatibility mode ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stepping:
I have the same problem after rooting with the Fug-Mod method. Maybe it is the same reason for your problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d3adcode:
Custom-ROMs are not supported by Kies.

Try to run Kies in compability mode. Then reinstall the drivers. After that it work without issues. Or just reinstall Kies.

Just tryed to start it via XP SP3 mode and, like every time i execute Kies, it works.

Device: Galaxy S @ Simply Honey 2.3.3 (JVB)

PC OS: Win7 x64 SP1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] josteink:
Other people had this problem too. Reflash with stock firmware and use cf-root instead. Worked for me, even after flashing supercurio's kernel afterwards.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Kies does not like Win 7 x64 .

Update

I uninstalled all usb drivers,uninstalled Kies. Then I reinstalled Kies without connecting any cable or phone but I am still getting the exact same error message. Kies can't know I have my phone rooted or even which Rom I am using as I have not connected the phone but it still won't run. Any other suggestions welcome.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] riahc3:
I have to ask: Why does everyone want a dual core phone which cant even currently be used?

I say it cant be used because dual core processors cant be used on Android 2.3 Gingerbread/Linux kernel 2.6.35, there is only multi-core processor support in A3H/L2.6.36 (only avaliable (officially) on tablets). We will see problably support in in "A4I"/"L3.6.37" for both phones and tablets.

So whats everyones obsession? The only thing you are problably gaining is a SLIGHT speed boost (not even close when a kernal that supports it is released) and more battery drain.

On a counterside this could bring good marketing to Google: They release "A4I", current dual core phones get a HUGE speed boost and everyone praises Google. Could work good for them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Subiegsr:
Interesting, I never knew Gingerbread couldn't support dual cores on phones. Good info, I guess I'll keep my Evo for another year. :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crazy25000:
It's pretty easy to compile the kernel to use multi core processors. The current one may not, but hold your judgement until it's actually released.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] riahc3:
So true............. Currently 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of users AND developers of applications can and are willing to complie a custom kernel not used by the rest and use/make multi core supported applications with its multi core supported kernel. :rolleyes:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
I guess progress has to begin somewhere?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] maranello69:
i don't think i'll ever need / want a dual core phone for my daily rutine, my SGS is perfect for me, what more could you need from a phone? don't think they'll be able to fit jet packs on them any time soon...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crazy25000:
What I'm saying is the kernel can easily be compiled by Google or Samsung and used as the stock kernel on the GSII.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ksavai:
Yeah its logical to think like that but 3 years ago who thought you need phone with such big screen and processor/RAM almost match PC speed?

As someone said somewhere they have to start but interesting thought by thread creator :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SevenSe7enSeven:
Honestly those arent needs either. But as of right now the only purpose of a dual core phone is to brag.
[Desire General] vroemie:
Hi all,

I have a problem with my GPS signal.

Normally (pre rooted era) I could switch on the GPS and get a fix. No freeze whatsoever.

With Gingervillain 2.1 I switch on the GPS and check the signal. I see several bars before the signal freezes. Tried flashing different radios but this made no difference. Also tried several radio / ril combinations same result.

At this moment I found a sort of workaround by switching on Google navigation and then switch on GPS. Check the signal with GPS Status and u usually get a fix within a minute (even indoor). After that I switch on Navigon to start driving.

It is not really a problem this way but what can I do to solve this problem. When I look in the threads (CM7 / Gingervillain) the GPS problem should be solved. Are there more people with this problem? What could be the best solution.
[Desire General] Meaple:
I have CM7 and no issues. I don't know what the problem is. Could be the rom, could the radio, could be other problems. It is too vast really. The only way you could fix it is to try different roms and see which one works. But like you said its not much of a problem.

Sent from CM7
[Desire General] vroemie:
Thanks for the reply,

Yesterday I switched to the latest radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08) and RIL (2.2.1003G).

As long as I start Google Navigation first and then switch on GPS no problem. This morning I drove to work with Google and Navigon switched on, no problem (30 min drive). Even switched off Google and Navigon kept the signal, no problem.

Whenever I switch on GPS first it looses track somehow. Can't figure it out..

Is there some keep alive GPS flow in Google Navigation?
[Desire General] Meaple:
No. When you turn GPS on its just on and idles. It needs to be used but I don't get how it doesn't work right. Grab an app from the market, GPS essentials I think and see what you can do with that.

Sent from CM7
[Desire General] vroemie:
With GPS essentials it works, better than GPS Status (think it has monitor function only). Think it has something to do with keeping GPS alive

Tried it from work - home, worked fine. Went shopping same procedure...

Might also be engergy savings mode in Ginger Villain. Batterydrain is less with it I noticed.....

With this working... perfect ROM!!!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
ah, so they are....so do the credit card companies....and the network carriers oh and you should know the kind of information those wee loyalty cards for supermarkets gather is staggering

I couldnt care less to be honest, the whole point of this is that yes infomation about you is taken and stored on a gigantic scale, but that info on my credit cards, my store cards my carrier usage and my WP7 isnt available to anyone but the servers they reside on.

That is the fundermental difference between MS and Apple.

you steal my phone ill be pissed off, you steal an iphone and potentially someone could find a lot about my movments.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samsamuel:
Hehe, no me either, just a conv starter.

On a related note, police have been using the iPhone location list (held on the phone itself, unlike wp7) to tie user to location when investigating crimes, tomtom have sold harvested driving data to Dutch police who have used it to set up speed trap stings, and two women have filed a $50mil suit against Google for harvesting their data.(not gonna fly, of course, but interesting none the less) a few days after a similar suit against apple.

As per above post tho, store cards are the big one, hugely intrusive, many hundreds of terrabytes of info every year.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hungry81:
fixed.

And they make money by sending adds to your phone. In the future if they know where you are they can send adds from nearby shops to your device. Yup you are paying them to send you spam.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CharlesG70:
Spam but maybe not

Well if they actually get it right then maybe the ads will be helpful.

If I am in the mall to buy a pair of Jean and I get a link sent to my phone telling me that I can get 15% off at this store and 2 for 1 at that store, well good for me and them.

Also I live a vanilla life so who cares; the only people that are worried are the pervs, cheaters, and such that are afraid of getting caught.

:cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] aghnokneemoose:
Now I wouldn't mind that much as long as it was pertinent to my needs and consistent with my location and timing. How are you getting those ads? Texts?

I've been getting a bunch of spam calls and texts here lately and I do not list my cell number anywhere! So it must be from WP7. Am I right? I mean my number is listed in the donotcall.gov

Well now everyone knows that Windows Phone tracks your location and it will be saved.

Now the question is: Does anyone know how to turn it off? ^^
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] colossus_r:
If you read that article and most importand others like that in the web you will be notice that:

1. Apple - Tracks you and keep the data for a year or more. And the most importand is that

anyone who can get the hands on your phone can see all the places you where

for a year !!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Android - Keeps your data for a week

3. WP7 --Keeps ONLY one record and it replace it with the next one

THATS THE BIG DIFFERENTS
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samsamuel:
Got a source for that, please? ( not that I doubt you, just only seen "unspecified time" and "short period of time" and nothing saying one overwrites the previous one)?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] colossus_r:
Yes m8 ...i have the source ..its a source that i trust for some 20 years now...

Its Zdnet PC Magazine

from the article

"

Microsoft told PCMag unequivocally that phones running Windows Phone 7 do not store location history

Microsoft says its "Find My Phone" service keeps only the phone's most recent location."

The big picture here is that Apple has lie on this matter ...

Six months ago when they say (i think) in a congress hearing that "We are not tracking location at all"

And still they say the same lie in a recent article in the "Apple's Media Center" aka Engadget blog..

This is a big big problem for me....

If anyone who can have my phone for 1 min can see where i was for the last 6 moths or a year with every detail in map....oh man ...this is bad .

This Orwel Big Brother mutliply x 1000. We have to fight against this.

The big blogs arrount the net have made a kind of omerta on this ...just an article and no more.

Probably the adds (money) from Apple are to big to start a fight ...

But this is not journalism... OK Apple is cool ..but where is your integridy as writer or as big internet blog ????

Where are all those guys that tear apart MS or any other company for minors problem ????

Thats the problem for me...Apple did this without anyone knows about it and is still deny it.

This a big big trust issue

Good choice of reading,,,, there's a good editorial on theregister about the legality of even collection, let alone using data harvested from a phone, since it is covered by different laws than, say, a computer, since it falls under the telecommunications act

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/02/device_data_collection
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] souljaboy:
u'd be surprised , but its not voluntarily done , its the law in the usa they have to track you by telecommunication act 1996 , in effect from 2001 , a phone cant be sold in usa if it doesnt comply
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] T-Macgnolia:
I will have to try to do some reading on that act, thanks for the info.

But even though it is something mandated doesn't mean that the OS makers Apply, Google, and Microsoft are just doing it because of that. Trust me there are hidden agendas here with this whole location tracking thing be it from the government or the private sector.

George OrWell must of been able to see into the future. LOL
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] colossus_r:
Nice find m8..full of info in the matter...thanks...

Just an update on apples reaction ...Its a big problem for them sinse the are ready (so soon)

to release a new version of iOs to fix the location problem...

If am not mistaken its the first time that apple has reacted so fast on problem...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Il_Baffo:
Yes, like Sony?

BTW, this is the same old story about tracking like in Orwell's "1984".

The government and the companies say: "honest people shouldn't care about controls because they increase protection, and quality of services", but the rear of the medal is very worrying for me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
your taking that out of the whole context of my post, the amount of information that you leave behind is huge, people already know just about everything there is to know about you, to think otherwise is naive.

but Yes Sony got Hacked, but using that argument is plain stupid, if i brake in to your house i can help myself to enough information to copy your identity, likewise i could 'just' hack your credit card companies records, or even better, after i brake in to your house and steal all the important bits then hacked in to you bank/credit card company, then finally hit the mother lode of info if you happen to have one of those store points cards, i could with a good chance of accuracy work out the statistical probabilities of your sexual orientation.

But we are getting off topic here, one of the points i was making is that the information isn’t on my phone, where as it is on the iphone, yes ill be slight pissed off if MS manages to lose it all, but then so would you be if i broke in to your house :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Il_Baffo:
I also think that it is inevitable to give companies more and more details about our real life but, even tho I couldn't upload all my personal photos, bills, or medical data to a big cloud system just to have traffic directions.

I know that those information are already stored in big databases but they are dislocated into different countries and different companies (my bank, my hospital, my grocery store) and it's very difficult to gather all of them; yes you could brake in my house (sure, that crime isn't worth the gain) or you could get all the data from a comfortable single database of a careless corporation (that can't even mantain saved games data) with 100 million users and hope for a good fishing.

In the end I prefer to have as much data as I can in my own possession because the key to security is hide the existence of something.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] PieOfJustice:
That's your problem. The don't call list is available to anyone who requests it. If I need a list of numbers what better way is there? It's a scouts honor that they wont use the list for spamming. There is no way to track who misuses it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] evolutionqy7:
Another one. Jeez can you let it drop.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DevlanJack:
Take the tracking ability away and see how many users complain about their phone experience then... if you claim you didn't know about it then you obivously didn't go through the set up of your own phone and set the location service. If you claim to not realise, that is a different problem...

OR

am I just missing something that everyone else knows about... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] T-Macgnolia:
I think a good bit of people actually did realize their locations where being stored. But I think most people's grip is with the massive scale it is being done and just what this information is really being used for.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] baam2k:
what do de record .

they record where you have been so whats bad bout it (or you must be a serial killer ) further they might see in what stores you come so what .

if that is all they record let em record away i dont care .

how they gonna send you advertisements ? through txt msg ? in some countries that is illigal to send spam txt .

just givin a advertising baloon on your phone ? there will always be found a trick to turn it off .

also if they force adds on your phone to show i think people ge tanoyed and go get another phone so the phone maker looses clients .

i dotn want that as phone maker . if the os forces it it also gonna loose clients i guess ..

so recording data isnt that bad but its not nice from os builders to do that without asking people and givving them a choice..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] evolutionqy7:
Tbh who the **** would see where you are?

This **** is no worse than using Facebook places or Forequare.

The information isnt stored on the phone. Its all anonymized and sent off to Microsoft so they could provide better bing maps for all of you...Now stop whinging.
