Hi guys just wondering if im doing something wrong..?? ive got some apps from the zune marketplace via my laptop and it says they will be installed at the next update (or something similar),

ive connected and synce etc, yet no apps.... what am i doing wrong??

sorry if this has been covered, for some reson search doesnt like my laptop....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shaunleger:
it seems my integrated facebook account will sync the calendar but not the contacts. anyone else with this problem?

i have a feeling it is on the facebook side because i'm coming from a captivate. when i look on my facebook page under Apps, it shows Samsung Mobile, but it says "6 months ago". I think facebook is confused between my old Samsung Mobile and my new one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shaunleger:
i think i figured it out. google supposedly changed the way you have to access android contacts forcing facebook to update their app. and consequently, the facebook app syncs just fine......but contacts only, there is no option to sync calendar.

the "integrated contact account" (that syncs facebook contacts and calendar even without the facebook app installed) fails on contact sync. the problem is this "integrated account" has not been updated (obviously because it was bundled with android 2.2). the "integrated account" synced just fine on my last phone that had android 2.3
[General Questions and Answers] ElevateMusic:
Okay soooo, SPECS.

- Android 2.2 froyo

- LG P500h (Koodo)

- Standard Rom

- KDZ won't open

Now, what I did, it was stupid. I wanted a black notification bar so I downloaded a file, it replaced the original framework file in the system files of the phone, I tried to open an app and it force closed so I restarted my phone and guess what? ANDROID BOOT LOOP!

First instinct. Re-flash the firmware with KDZ.

KDZ won't open? I don't know whats wrong... Someone help, please :(

.:EDIT:. Resolved, I updated throught the LG Update Tool and now im on 2.2.2 but I can't downgrade cause KDZ still wont open so i dont know how I'll be able to root again :(
[General Questions and Answers] WillDot:
Hey guys.

Hope this is the place to be asking this. Couldn't ask in the Android area.

Any way, basically I'm creating a post it note widget application for my uni project. It's due Thursday and I have just hit a brick wall.

All was going well until I realised I couldn't get the value of a "textView" on my widget to equal the "edtitText" in my main class / activity.

Is there a way to reference between classes especially with a widget?

Please help me, I think I'm about to fail :(

hi,

I would like to install the dialer transparent, but I do not know how to do it ... someone could

help me step by step, or if there is already a tread?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dazednconfused:
Are you on regular nexus or sprint 4G? I'm not sure if it matters, but I run sprint and if you go into the development section and find the thread: [ROM] *CDMA* NS4G Deodexed/Accurate battle 5/12/11 and go to the last 4 or 5 pages he has a link for one. Just flash it in recovery and that's it. If your not on Sprint you might want to check if it is safe to flash first. Hope that helps a little.
[HTC Sensation] neok44:
Obviously the sensation is different but i'm wondering whats possible with metamorph and sense.

Personally i don't like most of sense and prefer my own custom theme.

so just wondering whats possible to change with metamorph/ninjamorph in sense. or can we flash themes from say, the UOT kitchen?

personally i would change the statusbar and the pulldown images, and the menus to gingerbread black.
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
You won't be able to flash anything until it's unlocked in some way or another.
[HTC Sensation] neok44:
yeah thats true, forgot about that. dumb me/htc

but what about metamorph/ninjamorph, I'm used to cyanogen rom where i can basically change anything so i'm wondering if it's the same in sense.
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
I honestly don't know about that. I've never used either and don't know much about them, so I couldn't say. Sorry!
[HTC Sensation] neok44:
anyone else have any experience with sense and metamorph?
[HTC Sensation] Takiwaki:
you need root. wont work
[HTC Sensation] neok44:
yes i know we need root, yes i know the sensation won't have it at launch.

But when it does have it, can you use metamorph to morph the images of the UI.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rldev:
Both my wife and I bought the Infuse yesterday. Mine is a stopgap until the Galaxy S2. We are both having issues with the native mail client.

In my case I use imap and the program does not delete my email when I tell it to, it just comes back. The mail app doesn't seem to have any delete options like k9 and others.

My wife uses the mail app for exchange, with the exception that it does not give a summary in the notification bar(like K9), she is having problems with mail being pushed to her phone. It seems to work sporadically.

I wanted to know if anyone was having any such problem.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shaunleger:
not specifically, but i've always had problems with Samsung's email app. i was able to put an older version of a Samsung email app on the phone (the version bundled with the Firefly ROM for the captivate), but the one that came bundled with the Infuse did not work well with my exchange server. i told it to download "headers only", but when i opened a message and click "Load More Details", the body never loaded, just said "null"

also exchange related, whenever i received a message on my old captivate, the notification sound would play, but get cut off halfway through....weird. sometimes it wouldn't even make it halfway through, the sound would only play for a split second, barely noticeable, missed several messages.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rldev:
Where can I get this mail app?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shaunleger:
head over to the captivate development section, download the firefly ROM, it's a zip file, unzip it. goto /system/app and you'll find email.apk
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lgreenberg:
Same problem.

Switched back to K-9 Mail instead.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] justanothernoob:
If you are in the default mail client and you go to incoming server settings there is an option from delete email from server and you can choose an option like "when i delete from inbox", atleast it is for me i have pop mail though.
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
I need help my battery life is terrible and I don't know how to fix. I have a battery information app and the battery chart drops.
[Captivate General] kdwolf85:
We're going to need more information than that to help you out.

ROM?

Kernel?

Name of "Battery Monitoring" App?

Current Data use?

Signal strength in your area?

All of these will be very helpful in figuring out what your issue is.
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
Try to be patient, I'm a little new. But here's what I know.

Froyo 2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Battery Monitor Widget App

Data usage isn't high.

I don't know how to find ROM

My display takes 93% but my brightness is all the way down and my signal is always pretty strong.
[Captivate General] alexige:
Im guessing your one the stock at&t froyo. Think about going into the captivate android development section and flash a custom rom. They seem to provide better battery life and are much better than what came with this phone.
[Captivate General] babo1453:
You can also disable wifi, bluetooth, and GPS when not in use - that should help.
[Captivate General] -Thrive-:
In my experience the fastest way to better battery life is flash a new kernel. speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e is very stable. Also turn off auto-rotate and auto brightness.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
A big battery killer for me is background data and auto sync, I leave it all off, along with the stuff every one else said.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Also, try calibrating your battery.
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
The only thing I've done to my phone is root. And I've turned off all the auto stuff, I have no idea how to "flash the rom" or anything else.
[Captivate General] color0:
If your display takes up 93% of battery that's usually a good sign, it means that there's probably nothing in the background sucking up all the juice. Have you tried "bump charging" or replacing the battery? They do tend to go bad or lose calibration if you've overheated them one too many times.
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
Whenever I charge my phone it seems to get extremely hot. The battery app said like 115° to 120°
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
What exactly is bump charging?
[Captivate General] -Thrive-:
Is that f or c? My battery temp is 33 degrees c.
[Captivate General] ameedi600:
In my experience, the jk4 modem has the best battery life.
[Captivate General] saint168:
Try Juice Defender in the Android Market, made a big different for me.
[Captivate General] dmnall:
In my experience Froyo roms have all been garbage battery life *first leak, stock, Perception, Cognition, SuperNova, Phoenix Unleashed* I could never get more then 10 hours on the battery and less with wifi on. Now with GB *perception 2 beta 3*, I get 18 hours with Bluetooth on, Background Sync On, under H *3G*, and the original battery that came with the phone. I am putting up with some of the issues that 2.3.3 has but to me I cannot go back to froyo as my battery life has never been this good Including with jf6 2.1 that originally shipped with my phone.

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate General] -Thrive-:
I put it on the charger. Only went up to 35c (95f)
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
For F.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
While that may be the case, it doesn't always provide for the best signal. You have to test each one and see what works best for your area/situation.
[Captivate General] -Thrive-:
Your battery temp seems very high. You may want to swap the battery before trying other things. Is the phone new? If so, At&t store should agree to swap it out for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gordec:
There multiple threads dealing with how to get Bluetooth tether to work here is how.

First you need a rooted Android phone.

You must have a phone that running a kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" compiled into the kernel you are using.

Otherwise it won't work.

1. Download Android Wifi Tether App version 2.0.7 (do not download higher versions because bluetooth option is not there.

2. Go to your phone turn on bluetooth.

3. Go to your TF -> Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Enable Bluetooth.

Then in TF make Discoverable under Bluetooth Settings.

4. Now you can pair the phone with the TF by scanning for device under your phone.

Hit confirm to pair on both devices. You will notice that both devices will show the other device as "paired but not connected."

5. You need to now go to Wireless & networks settings under the TF -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> enable Bluetooth tethering.

6. Now go to the Wireless Tethering app on your phone. Menu -> Settings -> Enable Use Bluetooth, Enable Discoverable, Enable Access-Control

7. Exit out of the Settings in the Wireless Tethering app. Enable Bluetooth Tether.

8. Go back to the TF under Bluetooth Settings you should be able to tap the your phone device and get the tethering option.

9. You may need to allow the TF on your phone's Wireless Tethering app.

To get Bluetooth File Transfer to work download the Bluetooth File Transfer app from Market to both devices then you are done. No rooted device needed.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] kauaiboymo:
Bluetooth tether unsuccessful

Wifi Tethering works but need bluetooth tether at work since I can't use wifi due to wifi policy. Followed the steps above and still no go for me. I have htc evo Myns 2.2. Any other suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gordec:
Try get Bluetooth File Transfer to work on your phone and the TF. Were you at least able to achieve that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1ackplague:
First of all thank you for the guide, it worked flawlessly with my TF and Droid X its just the wording causes a bit of confusion for me. Not sure if you meant disable or enable and the option was already unchecked for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
I did this just last night and tethered to my DX. I didn't have the Wireless Tether app, so I had to go find it - not on the market since the carriers are *****ing about tethering, but I was able to find it from the developer.

Set it to BT tethering, paired the devices and hit the wrench icon on the TF, and BAM! Tethered!

I won't use it very much at all, but I'm taking a couple weeks off and will likely do a 4 day road trip with a friend, so having a connection out on the road will be nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike3_17:
Just a heads up.. running a rooted D1 I was able to get my TF to bluetooth tether but not to share the 3G. Installed a ROM (CM7) and was good to go with 3G bluetooth tether working like a charm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Antiskunk:
Is this more efficient than wifi tethering?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gordec:
Saves way more battery than wifi tether and also better speed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
Bluetooth options are disabled under wifi tether. I have enabled bluetooth on my rooted thunderbolt and the TF and both see each other. But I cant proceed further.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I tried this and the wifi apk said I didn't have the correct kernel and so this didn't work...and some of the options were greyed out.

I have an X10 with cobrato's MIUI installed and the stock kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
Mine worked great the last time I used it (a couple of weeks ago) but now it won't connect to my phone.. No idea why :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] habanosrus:
Same issue here using a HTC Inspire 4G. Gets through Paried but not Connected step but on the phone the bluetooth options under Wireless Tether settings are grayed out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rafal2006:
try wifi tether 3.0 experimental pre 14 (google it) works on my epic 4g
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gordec:
Are you using version 2.0.7 I linked in the OP? I am also on Inspire 4G. Of course I assume your phone is rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Nope....no dice...same thing with 3.0....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droidx1978z4:
You shouldn't have to use a tethering app to use the bluetooth tethering on the droid x. You can set up the tethering through the stock wieless and network menus on the DX and transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kauaiboymo:
Tried bluetooth file transfer but keep getting errors when sending a picture to my Transformer. Any other suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ubermetroid:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] habanosrus:
Yes, phone is rooted running Cognition HD 1.01 and confirmed version 2.0.7 Wireless Tether.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
anyone get Bluetooth tethering to work on the Samsung Galaxy S ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gordec:
FYI, guys for those who's Bluetooth Option is greyed out, you must have a kernel that has "CONFIG_BT_BNEP" compiled into the kernel you are using.

If you don't, then it's not going to work.

I was in Inspire 4G with the ROM/kernel setup in my Sig and Bluetooth option is enable. Now I flashed a different kernel it's gone.

So it's not so what phone but kernel dependent. Updated in OP.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbrown2:
Not sure how to get this working. I am running a Droid X rooted and have 2.07 wireless tether. I also tried wifi v3 pre.

The 2.07 using bluetooth reported tethered in the status bar bottom right I get both the bluetooth icon and another reverse bluetooth icon for tether. If i look at the TF bluetooth settings I see it is paired and it reports tethered. But no luck. If i use wifi i get a ip address and reported connected on the TF. but I can't browse.

Thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droidx1978z4:
I'm not sure what your problem is. To tether with the DX first I enable bluetooth on both devices and turn wifi off on both devices. Then pair them through the transformer, click on the wrench (on TF) and enable tethering and all is good. I don't even have full root on the DX because I can't get gingerbreak to work. Try it without using a wifi tether app and make sure that wifi is disabled on both devices. This works for me and am using it to post now just to test it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jideay:
So my rooted droid x doesn't have this kernel. How do I get it? Running Gingerbread 588.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
Droid X's stock kernel work's fine. You're misinformed. AND, as previously stated by somebody else on this thread, you don't actually need any apps from the Android Market to do either of these things (Tethering or File Transfering). I've written up a little howto for Bluetooth Tethering doesn't require any apk files at all or root on either device, at least for the DX. Nothing in the guide seems like it's DX specific though:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] junks2010:
Anyway to do bluetooth tether using WM6.5 phones instead of an Android phone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jideay:
Thanks. That was easy. But its pretty slow. Any way to speed it up?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droidx1978z4:
I would say that you should just be happy with having free tethering without even breaking the terms of your contact with verizon. I will say that I had some BT tethering issues while running .588. Those issues seem to have been resolved on build .591. Flashing from .588 to .591 is super easy too. You should be able to flash it right over .588 without even having to wipe any data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dbrown2:
Thank you for your help. Your directions were perfect. Thank you again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xplosiveone:
Does anyone know how to solve the problem I'm having.

I have an Evo (rooted CM7) and a Transformer that I can pair via BT just fine, but when I try to access the internet after configuring it to tether, it says I don't have an internet connect.

I took a look at the Wireless Tether pre 7 log and I see the following error:

error: SIOCSIFFLAGS (Cannot assign requested address)

Any have any ideas? I've tried changing from CM7 stock kernel to tiamat's kernel and I get the same error..

Thanks,

-X
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
Do you have wifi turned on when you're using the BT Tether? Make sure you have wifi off when you click the phone to connect. My OG Droid on CM7 wouldn't connect with wifi on, I had to turn it off first.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xplosiveone:
Unfortunately that didn't work but thanks for the suggestion.

That's for non-tech people? Really ??!

No offense but its full of technical buzzwords and concepts that the average user does not care about. All they want is -

- install this on your pc or phone

- click ok on the next 5 prompts

- you can now run tons of extra software and your phone is now amazing!!

That's it. Anything more is beyond the grasp of the average person, as it should be. Unfortunately rooting (on any platform) is still a pretty complicated process, so its better to read a lot and understand what's going on.
