[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Hm, this sounds like a suggestion more than a question... are you sure you're in the right forum? :P

Seriously though, the mods are busy keeping the threads carefully organized to make information easier to find. Beyond people posting in wrong areas when there's appropriate sections where members are ready and anxious to help, there are often questions being re-asked over and over. It can get tiresome, and people can get snippy.

Mainly, a good portion of users come here looking for shortcuts to great things... and then the're subsequently the same users that come back with a vast array of issues.

Read. Read. Read. And you'll find your answers, because it's almost always been asked before... and then less people will be snippy and rude. :D

Great app!

but how can the language be changed?

and for a future option, to select a city of interest from a more accessible menu and change it to be the main location instead of using gps for detection.

Thanks a lot.. i'm working to change language from menu.. now the language is changed automatically depending of device language.

For other option is really cool.. i'll work to implement!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masantula:
Hi,

I have bought a new nexus one, it is unlocked from HTC and runs on 2.1, my question is how do i update it manually to 2.3.4?

I am new at this so if you explain clearly so i don't mess up.

Thanks inadvance :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
First you open your browser and go to google. Then you type in Nexus One manual update.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jono-X20A:
Welcome Masantula!

First of all, read the wikis and the FAQ guides available on XDA forums. There is a lot of information available that can help you get started.

Did you just want to update to stock 2.3.4 ROM? It would help if you could provide more information on your Nexus One.

Go to Settings>About Phone then post back with the Baseband version and, kernel version and build number details.

It would be great to know if you have a AMOLED or SLCD version of the Nexus One. The updating process is slightly different from my own experience. To find out, switch off your phone then restart it again by holding down the vol down button first then power on. You should see a page with three androids on skateboards, have a look then you should see details of MICROP. Is yours 0b15 (AMOLED) or 0c15 (SLCD)?

Read my signature, look there for "Unroot/restore" guide, PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Execute, and you'll be on 2.2.1 (if you're not already). From that point, just wait until you get the update OTA.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masantula:
Thanks i finally figured out how to do it. Appreciate the help
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipspearman:
If you dont mind me asking, how did you update your phone. I am new to the android and have no idea where to start, my phone is setup basically the way that you discribed your.. unlocked, 2.1, etc.

thanks

phillip
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masantula:
Hi Philip.

Go to the link below and follow the instructions under PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Once you do that than you will be on stock Froyo (2.2.1).

After this you can check your phone for a new OTA update, current one out is 2.3.4.

If you don't get the OTA update go to the link below to know how to manual update your phone to 2.3.3 and than 2.3.4. Start with 2.3.3 followed by 2.3.4

Has anyone else had an issue where a folder on the Xoom appears blank when you open it on a PC?

I can transfer files into it but can't see what's in there... I have a feeling its to do with that I am running Win7 x64 at home, as my work laptop (Win7 x86) can see the folder fine.

Odd though that it is only one or two folders...

Thanks
[Xoom General] jss42:
I've seen the same issue, deleting files on the device and they still how in Windows.

The only way I've found to fix this is to reboot the xoom.

looking at the moto forums it looks like similar issues have been driver related but no mention of the OS so don't know if its x64 or not... will try installing drivers on my laptop at home next time I move some data across with the USB
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
Assuming that my Atrix is always locked (requiring fingerprint scan or PIN to access) when I'm not actively using it, how secure is the stored data? (All data is stored in internal memory, with no removable SD card in the phone.)

I'm specifically wondering about this situation: Say one or more of my Contacts has sensitive info (e.g. a bank account number or the like). Then the phone gets stolen. Could a knowledgeable (or even unknowledgeable) person access that data without the phone being unlocked?

As far as I can tell, accessing the files through USB requires the phone to be unlocked, but is there a way someone could get around that?

Could files be extracted over WiFi from a locked phone?

Does it make any difference whatsoever if the phone is rooted vs. non-rooted?

Is Contacts data stored in a form that could be read by any text editing program?

I know there are third party apps like Moxier Wallet that will encrypt personal info, but for the moment, I'm just trying to understand accessibility to data when the phone is locked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Anyting is possible if you are smart enough.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Probably the biggest threat to your security is pirated apps. If you are downloading paid apps for free from illegal sources you are at risk of installing malicious software on your phone. Not to mention that an app you use everyday is worth supporting the developer with 99c.

Other than that I know there are data sniffer apps like Shark but I'm not completely sure how those apps work or what information is at risk because I have never used those apps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
Sure, but that's not a very helpful response. I'm not talking about a scenerio where the CIA has unlimited resources and unlimited time to throw at hacking into my phone in the hopes of finding the whereabouts of al-Qaeda's #2 guy.

Can you provide any insight into by what means an individual with above average computer skills might be able to access the data on a locked phone in a few minutes, or even a few hours?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
Granted, that's a risk of the phone internally revealing data while it's unlocked, but let's assume that the phone does not have any pirated apps.

The scenario I'm interested in is: A hacker has stolen or found a phone sitting in its locked state. Could he get at its data before, for example, the phone's owner realizes the phone is gone and has the opportunity to remotely wipe its contents via MotoBlur or the like (say an hour or two)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
If they knew what they were doing yes I am sure they could. However, its very unlikely that your phone would be recovered by someone who could extract the info. Most likely your phone would be found by someone without the skills to steal your personal info, unless they have your finger. ;) If you are hanging out with a group of Atrix hackers I guess my advice would be dont piss them off. I think there are more concerning security risks with the apps you use than physically loosing a phone that is fingerprint locked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
I have noticed traces of my own fingerprints on the screen and case. Not sure if there would be enough there for someone to pull and copy the print and use it to unlock the phone.

Since most of my touch screen use is with the index fingers and/or thumbs, it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to set up the fingerprint scanner with my middle fingers, rather than index fingers, even though the phone specifically asks for the index fingers. That way, it's highly unlikely that a suitable fingerprint would be left on the screen. Perhaps that's being overly paranoid, but as the old saying goes, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Haha, I like that quote. I do have to say tho you are being WAAAY over paranoid. You really thing somebody is going to lift a print from your screen and replicate it in a way that can be swiped and recognized on your phone? I say if someone goes through all that trouble they deserve to have the information in your phone! :D I mean, the Atrix is the only phone I know of that has a fingerprint scanner, most people are content with a pattern or 4 digit number.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riichii:
When I got the automatic update to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 My battery was charged about 30%. After the update was done, which went very quickly, it was almost 60% charged. This sudden jumped seemed awkward to me. I have the feeling that a 100% charge is now actually a 80% charge, because it recognizes the battery as full.

So I downloaded an app called 'battery monitor widget' to see some more battery stats. When I bump charge, I have reached 100% with the following stats:

4200mV

1200/1200mAh

Seems oke, but the first thing I noticed it says it has a 1200mAh battery, while my battery itself says it's a 1500mAh battery. It's on the sticker. Also the Nexus S is generally advertised with a 1500mAh battery.

Can it be that the upgrade messed things up? Why does it see my battery as a 1200 insteed of 1500? I honestly don't know if the problem was there before the upgrade, simply because I didn't question it.

Anyone knows what's going on?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riichii:
Bump. There must be someone between all these experts here..?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I've emailed the dev and didn't get a reply. Just go into settings and change it to 1500. The highest I've ever seen the battery was 98. I've read other things on this so it isn't an isolated incident. I wouldn't worry about it. Don't bump charge it too much, that might not be good. Charge while off or when it says it's charged, reboot the phone and let it top off again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riichii:
Thanks for the reply, but how can you change this in settings?

Anyways, I've rooted my phone flashed roms and kernels and all that good stuff but I'm still pretty new at all of this. I want to flash the new radio but I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that. Do I have to go to terminal or can I just put it on the SD card through USB mount? Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantniz:
Drop it into the root of /sdcard and then boot into hboot by shutting down the phone and then while holding the volume down button power the phone back on. It will then boot into hboot, find the radio file and ask you to confirm you want to flash it. It's a pretty quick process.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Also note that for the hboot to find the radio it has to be named PG05IMG.zip. If its named anything else it wont find it.

Hello!

I have my Desire for 2 weeks now and really satisfied with it. However, I have some problems with the GPS:

It sometimes takes ages to lock on a satellite. I use a program callled GPS status where I can check if it sees any satellites, but sometimes it only sees one satellite.

I tried to update the aGPS data with GPS status, it didn't help much. Second I tried changing the NTP server with Fasterfix, but after I reboot my phone it goes back to some north american server. Do I have to make this change everytime I turn on the phone? (My phone is rooted and I'm on stock ROM, tried latest radio, but it haven't got better)

The last question: Isn't this a hardware failure that it sometimes works and sometimes not? I have a 2 year warranty so it won't be a problem. Thank you for your help in advance :)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] appelflap:
Good news. It seems that under the hood pretty much of the honeycomb system is already translated in other languages. It's not ready yet and some language specific formats don't work yet, but it is good enough for now. Also many dictionaries are already loaded on the tab. Only thing you have to do is to switch the locale with (for example) MoreLocales2 or any other locale switcher.

It works for Dutch and also for a few other languages I tried.
