[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay83:
Hi there.

gingerbreak worked!

Followed the codes and got superuser access.

I had formatted my sd card prior to doing this btw

I closed the terminal and went to change usb from charge to disk drive and the option had gone. took it out and reinserted and still it wouldnt find it for me to put .zip file on???

It would not show my sd card was there until i re booted?

Its a shame we cant just temproot it with gingerbreak and flash the rooted GB 2.3 leedroid, but then i guess this is where all this -s off stuff comes in right?

I havent got a clue now let alone to begin with lol.

Lads I think i give up =( . Thanks for all the help and advise and patience but your dealing with abit of a numpty here and we could be here a very very long time.

I appreciate all the help & Ill keep my eyes open if a way comes out to permroot 2.3 without downgrading etc...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodelin:
Same thing happened me, i had to reboot to make SD card show up again, but that is no problem as you have already changed misc_version with adb, you can now just put the PD98 file to the SD card and reboot and flash from bootloader.

Easy.

You have come along way now, just do as i said earlier, the rest is easy, don't give up now ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay83:
YYYEEEAAAAHHHHH BOY!

Thank you EVERYONE =)

i followed all the instructions .... downgraded, flashed leedroid rom and radio etc....

and IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A VERY HAPPY CHAPPY.

I gota say the people and help on XDA is second to none!!!!

thanks everyone for everything!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodelin:
Glad it worked out for you, wasn't that bad eh?

LeeDroid is great, i can't believe i didn't root earlier....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajay83:
Hello mate. Yes you're right!

It wasn't as bad as I thought & was even better because I had no problems at all.

Couple of questions tho please?

If any patches are released for this Rom, how do I do it?

On ROM manager should I back up current ROM?

If I wanted to revert back to the official leaked 2.3 shall I just run it from my pc as I did before? I know doing this will probably result in me loosing root etc...

Thanks for everything guys.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venom1924:
I have synched my contact list with Facebook, but when someone rings me their picture is really poor and pixelated. Is there a setting or something I need to change to display it properly? Does anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dally:
Probably this problem http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4147

Working workaround: create contact with name and photo only on phone then connect to facebook/google contact. Works but you must delete image from google contact (i didn't found option to choose[\b] account photo source).

Really I'd like to know is there a real cure for this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oozrafa:
I had this problem to. You can't see the pics if you sync it with the Facebook app. Instead I sync my contact (only) with Samsung's Social Hub and then manually join any contacts which the phone can't find automatically. Then I see all the pics, and they also get updated.

NOTE: I can also see the contact pics in LP People widget
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanj:
Or just install this.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree

I use it on my desire hd and the caller id pic is very clear.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilson1987:
Sorry I'm probably being thick but could you explain that workaround a bit more?

I have the same problem, the pictures are really pixelated, both when you get a call and when you have them as a buddy widget on one of your homescreens!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oozrafa:
Yeah, sure :)

1. You can install the Facebook app, but don't sync the contacts.

2. Open Samsung's Social Hub. Click on the menu button and then "add account". Choose "Facebook" and add enter your username and password. Choose to sync your contacts (and also the calendar and events too if you want).

Now you should see your Facebook contacts in your phone book (if you don't you need to enable it in the phone book's options).

The phonebook might be able to join your normal contacts with the Facebook contact, but on mine in didn't match too many.

To join them manually, long press on a contact and choose "join contact" - now choose their Facebook profile and they should now be joined.

When that person call's you should also see their status update on your screen.

If the pics on the widget come up blurry then press the widget and it should automatically adjust the image.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

When I got the Xoom wifi I was hoping to see all apps, free and paid and be able to purchase them. But as I found out, living in the caribbean doesn't allow me to view tablet apps and paid/purchase apps.

Basically this is what I did. It seems to work sometimes, but enough that I was able to get all apps I wanted. Even purchased quite a few. Basically this is what I did and hopefully it can help some of you out there.

1.I rooted my Hero and installed and enabled market enabler. I also opened the market and surfed around a bit. Left market open.

2a.On my PC using a VPN connection I surfed to market and was able to see tablet optimized apps section and purchase apps.

b.In some cases it would not allow me to send the installation to the xoom. So I send it to my Hero and make a backup using Atro. At the same time I put another VPN connection on the rooted Xoom wifi and installed "Paid Apps enabler" and set it to T-mobile. When I installed the APK, market would detect either an update or the tablet version and all would be fine.

Note: noticed that sometimes it would not allow me to purchase on the PC, so I would close the browser and surf a bit in the market on the Hero. Restart the browser on the PC and it would start working again.

I know this is confusing and a bit difficult, but it seems to work fine. Really hope there is a much easier method for us international users. Also as many have mentioned market enabler doesn't work with the wifi xoom.

[Xoom General] boranz:
I haven't rooted my WiFi xoom as I'm expecting the imminent update so I can't tell if adding a proxy works.

I live in China and it's been bothering me like hell that I can't purchase any paid or country/carrier restricted app in the market, such as kindle, google earth etc.. I have tried factory restored the xoom, disabled any location service and set up a US VPN before starting the market app, still no luck. I wonder how Google managed to determine that my location was not in the States. However I rooted another MZ604 and used market enabler which did work in terms carrier restricted app, didn't try the paid app because it's not mine.

I'm hoping the update will fix this issue for WiFi only xoom. If it doesn't I will root it and try your way. Thanks for the info!

I haven't been using reddit for very long, but it has definitively changed the way I interact with the internet. The app is my way of saying thanks back

Thank you for the warm welcome to XDA. Have usually been in read-only mode here, but I'll probably participate a bit more in the time to come.

Make sure you installed it to your phone memory and not the sd-card. I have found that my widgets don't display in the list unless I move the widget app to the phone via manage applications -GingerBread.
[Android Apps and Games] Spessi:
I always wanted to see the duration after finishing a phone call. Many mobile phones provide this feature, but not my HTC Desire Z with Froyo (and any other HTC device, I think).

Since there was no app in the market, I developed this app and published it under the name: "Call Duration Lite" (Sorry, I'm forbidden to post links in my message, because I have not enough posts)

Screenshots and more detailed description available at the market.

It would be nice, if you could give some comments about this app and if it works properly.

Thanks in advance

[Blade General] anonymous1:
Having read the various forum postings here and on modaco site, I have a problem that I'm not managing to resolve regarding flashing my Gen 1 OSF with stock Orange 2.1 to a different rom.

Hoping one of the gurus/techs/wizards here could help? Please?

Here's what I did:

1. Rooted using Universal Androot including SuperUser

2. Used Rom Manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery

3. Clicked on the backup current ROM button

Here's what happened:

1. Device rebooted once, came to green android screen and booted up very quickly, no backup on SD card

2. Using Rom Manager, tried to reboot into recovery, get 'An error occured attempting to run privileged commands!' message

3. Using Rom Manager, tried to flash new rom from SD card, get 'An error occured attempting to run privileged commands!' message

4. Tried to do a factory reset, device reboots, gets to green android screen (probably fails to get into recovery mode), reboots again and loads up as normal. Unable to factory reset

5. Tried to reboot with volume- into recovery mode. As long as volume- pressed, endless cycle of rebooting to green android screen - presumably can't get into recovery mode.

6. Tried to reboot with volume+, device boots up normally, Can't get into fastboot

7. Tried Recovery Manager, but App won't load with 'The application Recovery Manager (process com.podtwo.RecoveryManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close'. Keeps crashing and won't load.

Now stuck with device I can't update the ROM on and can't restore to factory settings.

Any suggestions as to how I could do either flash a new ROM or restore the stock ROM to factory settings, would be gratefully appreciated.

Is there any software I could use to restore to factory settings? Is there any other way of flashing the Swedish Spring RLS5 ROM?

Look forward to hearing your advice/comments/suggestions. Many thanks in advance (otherwise I'm forced to go back to my WinMo 6.1 device!)

:(

UPDATE: problem solved by flashing clockworkmod image file using recovery manager.

[Milestone XT720 General] vari9:
I did exactly what reveren told in his tutorial but after I installed all the updates and did the fastboot the kernel changed for a while but when I checked again after a few hours it was back as it was before the fastboot update.

Is this normal??
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Did you reboot your phone?
[Milestone XT720 General] vari9:
Yes. Should I install it again??

For a while I saw in my setcpu the swap cache numbered and the kernel changed and after a few hrs it was back to the previous kernel. So I believe that It had installed.

What should I do?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
To use the custom kernel you have to fastboot every time you reboot your phone. Thats the deal with Motorola's locked bootloader.

Too many bugs, can not wake up from sleep mode. doesn't seem to want to auto connect to my wifi after it's been awoken. yeah, i know i can turn off the wifi disconnect policy, but that's not a good solution! I'm almost to a point I'd rather retun and maybe wait for the Lenovo, Samsung 10.1, Toshiba, or just get the Acer. i bet some of the Acer users are laughing at us now.

what a hugh disappointment after a highly anticipated tablet..:(

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowah:
Well, one can be fixed relatively easily and the other can't. Software is more fixable, especially with a decent sized community.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I've got a very nice router and mine Transformer does the sleep of death sometimes. There is definitely a bug, either with the hardware or with how the hardware runs HC. If it doesn't happen to you, that's great, but it is affecting several people here, and who knows how many if you take the percentage and apply it to all that have been sold.

That said, it seems every tablet has its issues, so hunting for the perfect, trouble-free device is going to be pretty hard. I'm sticking with the Transformer, warts and all, because it's the best out there for the price.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
your router may not be as nice as you think. I've gone through many wireless routers that were supposed to be nice but were neve as good until I put dd-wrt on them.

You already started a thread called "almost want to return my trans! problems with shut off and wifi!!", not to mention it was your first post on the site.

You probably should have just posted in that one instead of making this. Like others above, I'm experiencing no problems with my Transformer whatsoever. I have a WNDR3700 with dd-wrt and everything works wonderfully.

Edit: Do people with the sleep of death problem have "Never" checked in the wifi sleep policy?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E46M3:
Did I say "everyone"?? Do a freaking search! It's common because only after a week or so from release, this issue has been discused numerous times! Just because you have a perfect working TF doesn't mean "EVERYONE" is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Well it does the same thing when tethered to my Evo. Seems to be the only device that has trouble with both, so I think we can safely narrow it down to the Transformer :) There is definitely an issue here, but it's difficult to recreate because it seems to happen randomly. It happened to me this past weekend, didn't do it for a few days, then did it three times in one day. It hasn't done it today, and may not for a week, who knows? It's not the times it only does it once in a few days that bothers me, it's the multiple rebooting in a matter of hours that gets me. I'm not giving it back though, not unless it gets to be a regular thing.

I turned off the screen lock, hoping that maybe helps, but it's hard to know until it happens, ya know? Hopefully Asus will have a fix for it, but I doubt it since it's hard to recreate.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
No, but you said you believe it's a flop because of the bugs and use words like "we" and "us" . For it to be a flop because of bugs it has to have a rather large percentage of users havings bugs that are bad enough to make them return the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phreezee:

I ask because I have zero problems, and I haven't done the FW update.

thanks for looking up my post history! But i rather post a new thread to state my frustrations.

and FYI... sleep issue and wifi issue are two separate issues, not same issue. and again, wifi policy is not a permanent fix. it's just a work-around. it's like saying putting red tape over your shattered tail light and call it done!

Haven't had any issues. There's some stuff about honeycomb that is a little weird, but I'm not worried about applying a few bandaids to minor issues. Maybe its because I'm used to it from running unfinished ROMs, but it doesn't bother me in the least.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorby911:
Yes, it sure looks like it will be a flop... let's see:

1) Pretty much every tech site (well except engadget) gave it fantastic reviews

2) Whatever stock ASUS delivers in the world sells out in minutes

3) Sure there are some people reporting issues, but there are MANY people who are not

4) As it was stated, any tablet has problems especially considering you are looking at the OS that still needs some polishing. Asus is usualy great with updates and support.

5) It costs less then ANY competition out there

6) It comes with this great keyboard concept that turns it into a netbook (fantastic idea!)

Yup, definitely a flop... but I think I am keeping mine. :D
