what stock rom were you using? 2.1 or 1.6

may sound silly but if it was 2.1 try 1.6 and see if that gives you any joy:D
[Acer Iconia A500] sarcasmo:
I'm strongly considering this tablet, but I want to make sure it gets Netflix support. I was able to get Netflix on my Captivate (running custom GB ROM) by sideloading the .apj. Has anyone tried this on the A500? What were the results?

its been discussed in this thread, netflix is not supported at the moment
[Acer Iconia A500] sarcasmo:
Netflix is not 'supported' on my device (Captivate), but it works for me and all others that are running a Gingerbread ROM based off the i9000 source. All you have to do is sideload the .apk and sign-in.

I know others have also gotten things to work (even on a Nook Color) by spoofing the device by edititing build.prop as follows:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=tmobile

ro.product.name=vision

ro.product.device=vision

ro.product.board=vision

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/htc_vision/vision/vision:2.2/FRF91/277427:user/release-keys

I'm curious if anyone here has gotten creative and found a way to make things work.
[Acer Iconia A500] edgie168:
Well then I guess your best bet is to buy an A500 and do what you just suggested yourself. :)

That method does not work 100% yet from what I have been reading. Even across various roms on a supported device.

That thread has zero valuable information. Please read this thread (a whole 4 posts prior to your comment) before sighing and pointing me to a post that fails to respond to the clarified question I asked in the third post of this thread. I was hoping someone might have tried to push past 'not a supported device' and try some tricks.

I sacrificed a goat and some rotten eggs, but Bwon Samdi wasn't smiling on me and it didn't work :-D
[Acer Iconia A500] sarcasmo:
:-) Totally valid suggestion. If I pick one up this weekend I'll give it a try. Obviously, HC is a different animal from GB, but you never know (and Tegra 2 differs from Hummingbird). I'll report back if I learn anything interesting.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Considering Nvidia is more focused on further fragmentation with "Tegra Zone" and working with Google for $5 movie rentals, I would not hold my breath for an official Netflix app. Seems the lack of one is by design.

Yes, the iPad is evil, but at least you have the option of iTune downloads AND Netflix. Not just the Google rentals, that seems a blatant effort to force folks to pay $5 a pop, rather than consumers use their Netflix account that THEY ALREADY PAY FOR.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris.Thompson:
I have just started working on this Incredible. It has not successfully been rooted although it appears that somebody may have tried, unsuccessfully. When I try to start it, it will boot up as far as the unlock screen. As soon as it begins it's media scan, it shuts off and reboots to the white "Droid Incredible" screen.

I have access to hboot mode and fastboot mode. When I tried to start recovery mode, I only get the black screen with the red triangle. It is still showing "s-on" in the hboot screen which I can only assume means that the phone does not have root access.

I would simply like to get this device back to usable (stock) condition. I have rooted phones before but this one has me stumped.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokeey:
"Unroot" it, load a PBimg and restore to stock, next time you try to root use unrEVOked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Yup. The RUU image is the solution to practically everything.

Just download this and rename it exactly "PB31IMG.zip" and place it on the root of the SD card (make sure it's formatted as FAT32 first). Then boot up into hboot (it takes a while to scan the image) and vol-up to confirm the update. And make sure it has a good charge first!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
This should go in the Q&A section.

The PB31.zip method recommended by Smokeey will be the best solution. If for some reason that doesn't work try Verizon's RUU .exe here: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Inc...dio_1.00.03.04.06_release_161493_NoDriver.exe
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crans:
Usually your phone has to be s-off already as well as your sd card formatted FAT32 to install a new PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawynkoop:
You only have to be S-Off to install a custom (unsigned) PB31IMG.ZIP, installing the PB31IMG.zip from verizon's RUU will still install successfully.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronDroid80:
Brief history...originally coming from stock froyo OTA...flashed CWM (3/30 fix)...rooted...nandroid BU...TiBU...GIANT leap of faith (virgin rom flash) to Comm Rom 1.2. I did not wipe data, but I did wipe cache and dalvik. I was running Launcher Pro and had a clock widget, along with Pandora and Winamp on my home screens. Things were running fairly smooth, but every now and then, some odd things would happen. On two occasions, when my battery was low (below 35% or so) and I plugged the phone in (AC charger), after a couple of hours, the battery would only show around 45% (basically much lower than it should have been after charging that long). As it turned out, it was "stuck" and a reboot fixed it. Sorry, I'm new to this, and I don't know how to grab logs yet, otherwise I would have, because I know that my ramblings won't do much to help the issues. Anywho...

Then I came to realize that I needed an app that was no longer installed (memo pad...which got killed in the debloating process), and I stumbled on the new release of EF and there were flashable stock apps (memo pad included) in that thread. Curiosity got the best of me and I flashed it...after which my clock and music widgets vanished (from the home screens and from the widget selection dialog). Then I flashed EF (3.5.1) but Launcher Pro didn't play nicely with it, and there were a few other odd things happening...so...I bit the bullet...wiped data, cache, dalvik, and reflashed Comm Rom 1.2 (via 1.0) and got everything (almost) back to normal. This time I did not use Launcher Pro, and I set up my home screens just like before. I then flashed the TSM Market app fix, and poof, gone again.

What gives?

p.s. after the full wipe, I haven't seen the battery thing happen yet, but I'll keep an eye on it.

**edit** today I decided to let the battery fully drain and do a full charge. after 4.5 hours on a car charger (big mistake in the first place), it was showing 37%. I rebooted and suddenly it was up to 48%. That was at 8 pm. Just checked it again, and it's up to 97%. Turned the phone on, and there were no user apps in the app drawer. Went to market (, to market...) and everything is there. Exited back to home and Google search widget was gone (but that one is easy to replace...just odd that it would disappear like that).

**edit** just checked (12:15 am)...fully charged. unplugged phone and screen went black and unresponsive. eventually (after several long presses of the power button) it rebooted. phone only powered on for 5 minutes (display only on briefly to check battery level) and already at 96%.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
This is an interesting one...are they showing up in the manage applications file?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronDroid80:
If you are referring to the "menu --> manage apps" thing, then yes they are there. The clock was an actual widget that I downloaded from the market called "digital clock widget"and the pandora and winamp ones are built into those primary apps.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronDroid80:
Three cheers for self inflicted frustration. Solved my problem. So stupid me just came to realize that widgets don't like to run from the sd card. I was playing around with tibu and moved [all] my apps to the sd card (prior to the situation described in the OP). All was fine because they were still loaded in memory, but when I rebooted to flash those apps...bingo.

I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, but I feel really dumb now. As I suspected, the clock app doesn't even support being moved to the sd. I'll have to move the apps through app manager to avoid any [stupid] issues.

Once I finish working out my self inflicted problems, I'll get things how I want and bump up to 1.3 (unless 1.4 comes out).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M00NEY:
Not sure if you have already completed the move of some of your apps back to internal memory (that would be some scary **** if I did LOL) but I saw that you had done TiBU before starting this - so I can presume you still have that...

There is a batch operation to move all user apps to SD card or to Internal memory. As it goes with all teh batch operations, you get to pick and choose what to move prior to starting the batch, which could save you some considerable time in doing so...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronDroid80:
Yeah, I had batched them all to the sd card the first time. I batched them back to the phone, but now I have to check them one by one in app manager to see which ones natively support it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caribbean_spur:
Hi guys,

I am ready to finally get rid of my tmobile wing! I finally made my decision to go with the international version of the SGS. Well, almost, I do have a few questions to owners and US users in particular:

- I would like to know of really bad known issues of the phone. Every phone will have some issues, it is a given, but what I am talking about is issue like the captivate where a lot of people have random shutdwon of their phones. I would like to know if there are any similar issues with the SGS that will prevent basic operation of the phone ( I know about the gps, and I am fine with this problem)

- How is reception, drop calls and call quality on the ATT network, and if someone is in FL, please tell me about your experience.

-I am aware of the fact that the phone has only 1900 Mhz band but I have been looking everywhere for a map that will show where the 850 vs 19000 3G areas are and I cannot find one! so if someone knows where to find one please a link would be great.

Thanks so much in advance for any input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caribbean_spur:
sure there are owners who can answer at least the first question. Please!

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H3lix:
I can't really answer anything about the reception on AT&T, but the problems with the phone there are lockups. It can freeze. But if you flash a custom ROM onto the thing, it runs like a dreaaam.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungwarrior:
I've got the international i9000. From last August till now, I haven't had any problems. I put this down to 2 things, one good fortune ,and secondly it's unbranded and unlocked from new. The phone has gotten better with each firmware upgrade and now on 2.2.1 even if gingerbread wasn't coming my phones just fantastic and it's quick. The phone apparently can be rapid when its on gingerbread listening to the lads on XDA and some say it takes care of the only thing Ican say negatively about the phone, which is the battery life, and personally, (The lads on here probably know better.) I put that down almost entirely to system spyware,as three hours of internet knocks mine down to 48%, and even with all syncs turned off and all apps taken out except the sammy key board every so often all the g***l* stuff restarts itself in one form or another and you can see the little green and red data arrows active. AS a phone, I believe with this next official update coming, allowing for the gs2, allowing for it not having a camera flash, this is the best phone money can buy, yes there are dual core phones, yes a few more pixels, even yes, I'll probably at some point get the sg2, but not because it's needed , it's just what we do, after all we come to this site with the others because we like phones. Hope this helps in some way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
If you read around the forums, you'll find a lot of great things about this phone. I couldn't be happier with mine really. Reception is never a problem for me though I'm in Canada. Some people claim they have GPS problems, but there are several fixes that can help you improve/overcome those problems. They claim are that they can't lock enough/any satellites on their GPS system to get a reading, but after using GPS test app to learn a bit about the best way to detect a signal it works like a charm for me :). You won't regret it, although I would probably look into a SGSII if it were me.

If you are going to be on AT&T why don't you buy the i9000m
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garbz:
Most of the issues in the phone have been down to bad firmware by the carriers and also a silly design decision from Samsung with regards to file systems on earlier firmwares.

Running 2.1 firmware the phone was slow as heck and my GPS which was set to Autonomous mode would take sometimes up to 5 minutes to get a fix. A simple setting change gets GPS lock within a few seconds. Also with each firmware release the phone has gotten faster and faster.

Also if you're a tinkerer then this phone is a dream. It's hard to brick, often recoverable if you make an error, and some of the well tuned ROMs on these boards are absolute rocketships for speed.

ok so here's what I did to royally screw up things on my tablet. I had installed the latest Streakdroid ROM and wasn't getting any data connection at all though it showed on the taskbar at the top that I did. I decided I was going to follow the steps in the thread that had the instructions on how to bring back to factory settings so I can start fresh. I had gotten to the part where I was about to execute the fastboot command and my computer never detected that the tablet was hooked up at that point. Now when I go into recovery, I have the stock recovery loader that dell put in and the streakdroid rom's wifi doesn't work so I can't do anything at all. not even download a file explorer to install the rom manager or anything...i'm afraid that I've really screwed things up. any help would be greatly appreciated.

So if you are like me. Waiting a week for your OTG cable to come to your doorstep is not an option. Especially if I can make one with existing cords and equipment I have laying around. If soldering happens to be one of your skills then this is the guide for you.

This is what you need.

Micro USB Cable … Really you need the Micro USB Head

Female USB Cable Head … Pulled mine out of an old computer

USB Cable … to connect the two heads … I used the cable from the Micro USB

Solder Kit … connect the Heads to cords

But this video puts everything in context and you also can see how the mouse works on 3.1

Can't use bluetooth for flash drives or the ps3 and xbox game controllers (or the other ones the 3.1 update lets you use) XD

[Xoom General] SPIDERTECH:
I haven't watched the video yet, but couldn't you also just use a USB extension cable instead of a separate usb cable and female usb port? Using an extension cable instead you could just replace the male end with the male micro usb and use heat shrink to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Congrats to OP for the DIY job. My preferred method would be not to cut up the cable, but by shorting pin 4 to pin 5 directly at the shell. This is easiest if all 5 pins are present (sometimes either pin 4 or 5 is missing), as you can simply bridge the two pins with a bit of solder, and quickly apply heat to the connector shell to melt it in place. If one of the pins is missing, then things get a bit more difficult.

The solder bridge wouldn't last for too many insertions, but it should be more than good enough until the real host cable gets to you.
[Xoom General] bibsta:
Made the cable well kinda i used a adapter to convert male to female should this still work or does it need to go straight to female?
