Why not simply use 3G Watchdog or similar and switch data off manually once you hit your set limit? It's just 1 click away on the power widget?

helllo frinends...am entirely new to flashing,,,i have been reading through the flashing tutorials for noobies...and many other guides...and gathered courage to flash my cell wit Cm6.1.3 v006....

My flash tool is version 2.8.0

at first i rroted my cell with flash tool.... then goin on to flashing the rom....according to the guide by wolfbreak ,,we hav to start with xrecovery ..but on my tool...it seems xrecovery is not accessible...

clean, xrecovery,optimize options seem to be dull i mean not highlited...so i cant open them at all.....some one please help me out...how can i access xrecovery
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
Search in the forum, there's a post by Z which the xRecovery installation apk is uploaded.

To use this installer, you would have to have busybox installed and running on your X10.

This is actually the original method to install xRecovery before the flashtool has that integrated.

To install, first copy the xRecovery.apk onto sd card and install that app.

After that, open the app and click install. You would see three checkmarks on the screen if installation is successful.

Here's a video guide to do it (Thanks and credits to BluechipJ):

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vysak:
They are not accessible because you have not enabled usb debugging..

switch on your phone and go into settings/applications/development and enable USB debugging and connect your phone (normally, not in flash mode) and open flashtool..

Now those options will be enabled..

I flashed with update-1.6.1.zip from http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15 but have just found update-1.9.0.zip from here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1003525

Am I right in thinking that I have just flashed with an older version? If so, I will do it again.

Another question...if I flash with a new rom I must lose all my data?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edrill:
I suppose you meant StreakDroid! The current latest version is 1.9.0, but 1.9.1 is currently in beta testing and should be out any day now.

You can flash directly to a newer ROM without losing your data. I always make sure I do a factory reset before updating, but that's just me!

[30 May 2011] Alpha 4 now out with widget and custom add to playlist!
[Nook Color General] Rhegaana:
Awesome thanks!
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Will check this out.

Sent from my Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
[Nook Color General] El Queson:
NICE! Thank you much.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
It'd be nice if it had an actual name and icon.
[Nook Color General] capnron65:
Like the article says...

"We did run into an occasional bug and forced closures but otherwise it’s quite functional, despite its alpha status".

A name and icon are in the works. Give it some time.

The app worked great...just looking forward to it's further development.

Ron
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Yes I saw that, I was just stating.
[Nook Color General] richard98:
Here's the file I downloaded after following all the links. I guess its ok to post it.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
If you're on Twitter, it's probably worth following the guy for updates. I did.
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
Same here, following dev on twitter.

As indicated above next alpha should include an icon.
[Nook Color General] bigbird21:
probably not the right place, but I'll post my short blurb anyway.

like:

- clean uncluttered, only necessary information and buttons.

- fast, flipping between pages are nice.

- the typography

- how artist, album, etc is organized using alphabetical/large font is refreshing.

dislike (mostly related to smartphone to tablet screen scaling)

- I know this is for smartphone player, but when in "play mode" screen, the progress bar is only the size of small album cover. It's too small for practical use. Everything clumped together at bottom screen leaving huge empty space up top. (looks like something is wrong when there is no background image.) Maybe load a "default blank" image when there is no album image?

- bigger play/pause/next screen buttons? button size is too small for comfortable clicking for tablet. I think it's also mis-aligned. or at least the placement of buttons is spread out of context, not below the album cover in tablet screen. (maybe slice the screen into 4 quadrants, and fit all album/players controllers on bottom left corners)

- (setting is still blank. yeah I know work in progress)

- when inside "play screen", once getting out to browsing screen while playing, it's not possible to quickly get back to play screen without retracing path from song title. Also How about if I double/triple tap on the big image in play screen, It will bring me back to main browsing screen. How about scroll side to side? (play screen -- side swipe - browsing screen.)

- back button only bring me to previous screen. (so if I jump out of player, and back into play screen, if I hit back button, it will throw me out to external screen. and I have no way to get back to main browsing screen without relaunching the player.)

wish list ( I post one anyway.):

- button and font color option?

- in tablet, the super low rest/huge background image looks really blotchy for a lot of images. (for human face, it looks like somebody has bad skin disease or something. just ugly.) Can we have option, not downloading external images? force use internal default images.

- less aggressive use of wireless.

- equalizer

- widget

- playlist creation (I think it's still being build)

- a way to alter mp3 file label. (hey, not my music comes from stores. and a lot of my record label promo material has wrong labels. )

- I really liking this as a universal media file manager. How about video, ebook, "social" (as in libre.fm, last.fm, or whatever other social music), simple mp3 blog RSS.
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
Agreed with you bigbird.

Functionally my biggest issue is going back, especially when you are on a playlist you have to exit to get back.

An on screen back button + a way to get back to main screen quickly I think would be best.

Playlist creator

Scaling stuff could take longer to materialize but yes:

+ Bigger progress bar for Jumping/skipping song on + Bigger buttons

Why don't you send your recommendation to the developer via twitter?
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I wish it did what Doubletwist does. If it's at the lockscreen, it shows the primary buttons and makes it click to unlock.
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
Alpha 3 just out and some of the issues above have already been dealt with. Back button from now playing screen, icon for the app, etc.

[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Good to see this is being worked on constantly.
[Nook Color General] Alexsandra:
how about the sound quality? Is it better than original music player?
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
I could be wrong but:

1. On the software side audio quality would depend primarily on the encoding quality, i.e. compression type, bps or lossless.

2. Then it would depend on your hardware, mainly the DAC chip inside your device.

3. Your earphones :p

I would guess on hardware (2) that the Zune since it's a dedicated MP would have a better DAC and audio line path. On the other two it should be the same.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Is anyone else getting audio dropouts on CM7 (beta nightly)

Love everything about this app, but seem to have some audio dropouts and pauses during playback.. Using the beta CM7 build with Dalingrinators OC.

PS. im using DSP to boost volume via eq settings.
[Nook Color General] DubiousPig:
I've noticed a couple of tiny pauses at the start of tracks but nothing too distracting. I'm loving the app though (the Zune interface is simply one of the best I've come across) and it complements Launcher 7 perfectly.
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
I know many of you out there have been waiting for a widget for this, myself included.

The developer has just posted this as a preview for the upcoming next release. :)

Change log

Alpha 4

Fixed a bug that caused the app to fail to restore the shuffle setting when restarted.

Added a 4x1 Widget with album art, song info, and playback controls

You can now long-press any song/artist/album/playlist/genre to add it to a playlist. You can also create a new playlist by choosing "New" instead of an existing playlist.

Added a new "Folders" tab that lists any folders that contain music from your library. Clicking on a folder name will open a list of the songs in that folder.

Added a new option in the Settings screen to choose which tabs to show in the main "Music" screen.

Added a new option to show/hide album art in the "Now Playing" screen..
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
I am surprised that so many people like this. The Metro UI is just so ugly (cut off text, ugly fonts, etc). Ah well, to each his own i guess..
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I love the UI on this player. It's the only player I've seen that really takes advantage of the touchscreen for organization and library navigation, rather than treating your finger like a 'virtual mouse' in Windows Explorer. Scooting around my library to make a playlist on the fly would actually be kind of fun, rather than the chore it is in other players.

HOWEVER, I'm doing a side-by-side with PowerAmp, and the results aren't good. I don't have any decent headphones working, but using the NC's speaker, this app produces a much tinnier, distorted, basically unlistenable sound at any volume. Granted, if you're using a NC's little speaker for a sound system, you already have problems, but PowerAmp's output, WITHOUT any equalization, is at least tolerable, whereas Fede's App just makes a screeching, rattling noise that you want to stop.

I'm no extreme audiophile--enough to be dissatisfied with Apple earbuds, but not so much that I need anything better than some $20 JVCs. I'll report back if I pick up some new earbuds in the next month or so (my mobile audio needs are nil until I'm on the road in July), but does anyone have any feedback on playback through headphones for this app vs. other players?

I just gave the default player a go, and it actually produces the clearest sound of all three :/ PowerAmp comes close pre-amped, but if you must play back through the speaker, default seems the best bet. Do these results hold up with headphones or external speakers, anyone?
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
I've done a little more testing using line-out to an iPod dock and an old Aiwa shelf system, and the results were pretty much identical: the Android default player produced the cleanest sound, followed by PowerAmp, with Fede's player a distant, tinny, muddy third. No sound extracted from the NC stood up to either my phone (Sony Ericsson W760, designed for music, but still a 3-year-old budget device) or my 5-year-old iPod video (recently bricked). Indeed, for volume alone the NC is the quietest device I have ever plugged into either stereo.

Fede's player performed a little better with vocals than instrumentation, actually reproducing Pearl Jam vocals more satisfyingly than PowerAmp on a flat EQ, but as soon as a guitar or drum solo hit, it was back to that tin-cans-and-string sound, and the default player still produced better sound than both of them.
[Nook Color General] notinterested:
I have to say i was VERY dissapointed after reading this thread title then later discovering its not the Zune music player like the title says but a zune STYLED music player. :(
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
Taosaur, I'm very surprised to hear the results of your testing, because my guess would have been that there wouldn't be much difference. I'll try a comparison myself to check it out since I haven't really compared this with the build in player.

I wonder if this happens on all Android devices or it's specific for the Nook.
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
Ok so I tried it with several songs, switching between this app and the build-in player. I might be influenced by what Taosaur said though, the difference between the two was very slight. I think yeah the build-in player sounds a bit more open.

This was testing with a couple of pairs of earbuds. Still the difference isn't significant and could only be in my mind.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Well, for thoroughness' sake I tried out my short-riddled, crap-from-the-start iPod earbuds, and the difference was much less pronounced, to the point I would be hard pressed to say whether it was there at all. Of course, sound was also uniformly poor, as it has always been with those earbuds.

I am getting skips/stutters in MP3 playback with all the players, though. Are you getting that, too?
[Nook Color General] bigbird21:
quickie on alpha 4.

- When widget is playing music with no album cover, I can't get back in to player. (no place to tap)

- playlist is zombie. (I can create, but i can't delete or modify.) Wish: create, delete, rename, can move song order up and down.

- Hey how about option of "play all" or random as addition build in playlist.

- if I update my SD card via USB cable, by adding sub folder to my music folder. the music player seems confuse and not able to play music properly, until I relaunch the player a few time. (I also getting the version 2, set up page. Is it possible the old player set up is messing with the new one? I did uninstal the old player before installing new one.)

like:

- the option to include/delete artis/album/folder/genre...

- the minimalist widget looks good.

annoying

- I wonder if "now playing" or "player" can be included in artist/album/folder/... so I click there instead of clicking "setting". feels more consistent. But no biggie.

- Those buttons hidden behind "album cover" sure can be a LOT bigger. Who is going to see it? might as well make it big, good to touch.
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
Aplha 5 released, download link remains the same.

Change log:

Fixed startup force close that happened on some HTC phones.

Made the entire widget clickable, so that clicking anywhere (outside the play/pause/next buttons) will open the app.

Added the ability to delete playlists by long-pressing on a playlist and choosing "Delete".

Added an option to set the default tab to show when the application is started.

New option to use a custom status bar instead of the system status bar. Touch it to reveal more info (battery charge, Wifi status, signal strength, data connection). Swipe it down to open the notifications panel. Please note that due to limitations in the Android system, it's not possible to show notifications in the custom status bar or customize the notifications panel.

bigbird21: some of the widget and playlist issues were solved in the new Alpha 5.

Taosaur: I'm not getting skips... what format encoding are your tracks?
[Nook Color General] Spin_spinning:
I checked with my Shure SE425 (which I believe to be very good earbuds). Cannot say there was much of a difference :cool:
[Nook Color General] bigbird21:
alpha 5.

wish list:

- reset the player option in setting (flush the cache, genres, image, and redo the search. It seems to retain mis-labeled genre even after I alter the file in desktop.)

- in folder (option to delete/tell the player to not search particular folder in the future?)

- (option to tell the player to scan folders again?)
[Nook Color General] sibyy:
New version out:

Alpha 7

Fixed the force-close when opening the Recently Added playlist.

Fixed the trash can appearing on the Album screen.

Alpha 6

Playlists can now be edited through the app. Open a playlist and press Menu > Edit. Use the handles (up/down arrows) to drag/move songs. Drag them to the trash can to remove them from the playlist.

The widget's Play button should now work even if the queue is empty.

Added a menu item on the Now Playing screen to go to Settings.

Added an option to disable the lockscreen while on the Now Playing screen.

You can now choose to scrobble through the official Last.fm app, through ScrobbleDroid / SLS, or disable it entirely.

Fixed some problems in the shuffling code that were causing force closes.

Hey guys,

Hopeing someone has some usefully information. I've been looking online and the forums for any help but haven't been able to find any answers that I'm looking for in reguards to the built in Wi-fi hotpsot for andriod 2.2.1 stock release. I use my hotspot at work a lot and was wondering if anyone knows of any ways to disconnected or premanently block someone off of my network. The hotspot doesn't seem to have any way of booting someone off of of my network outside of setting it to onle 1 connection available and hoping some **** doesn't beat me to the connection while my computer connects. Theres someone in the office that has their phone to just simply connect to any network I'm guessing and he continues to latch on to my hotspot even though its WPA encrypted. If anyone has any useful info or can recommend a program to use with an un-rooted phone I would be very thankful.

Thanks guys!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacallyhappy:
Does anyone have any info that can help me?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If your hotspot is encrypted, he can't use it. He can try to connect to it, but he won't get his network working.

And you can use the "Manage users" feature of the hotspot in Sense, and enable MAC address confirmation for each user - so he won't even get allowed to connect.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maniacallyhappy:
Well thats the thing, I've been looking through the manage users option and it only gives me the Mac address of the **** trying to connect to my network. It doesn't give me the option to do anything except "hers their mac and their ip" and most of the time it just shows "ip: not available" THere are only 2 options that I see and thats "Allowed users only" and "Max. Connections" Where in sense would my MAC filter option be available?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Before turning on the hot spot, go to portable wifi hotspot settings. There you can set it to where you need a password to connect to your network.

I use wep security. You can put whatever password you want.

In case it's unclear, I have CM7 on eMMC and am setting up a Honeycomb/Phiremod dual-boot on SD, and would like all three ROMs to use the storage partition (7th in this case) on the card. The following post suggests to me that it's possible:

The file path specified, however, did not work, and I don't know enough about linux in general or the specific file structures to figure out the necessary changes. The system I want to redirect is the CM7.1 beta running dalingren's 5/13 OC kernel.

[General Questions and Answers] jenny2you:
Hello,

I used Bubby's one step root to root my htc inspire 4g. After soft bricking it I was able to restore it back to the orignal rom. The rom was killing my battery so I decided to use ROM manager to flash another rom. I used coredroid and did not do a backup as I backed everything up in ROM manager and in titanium backup but I did do a clear dalvik and data. It downloaded the rom and went through the uploading screens and got to the rethink possible screen where it has been stuck for about 15 minutes now. What should I do? Should I restart the phone and maybe go back to the restore? Or how long should this go on? If it goes on for the night do I need to worry? Please help!!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] SERGI.3210:
sice the mopment that you flash something without previous backup you need to worry mate....

maybe doing a full wipe and reflashing the rom solves it,,,, remember to do a wipe batery status after flashing your new rom

Coming from captivate was just wondering. May go and get it tomorrow. But I really live the speedy ginger i got now on my cap. I need just as much speed but better battery. If I do get I can sell my cap and make out even. Also i don't like the infuse just put up with it till sgsII comes out and hand my wife my infuse and sell her cap to make that up. We have 3 upgrades avaliable . ( Once a year we get ). I guess I more worried about updates like ginger bread. Convince me.. i can't do any dev work so I can't help there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DVA4890:
The speeds are great on it best for ATT so far. It looks like SG 2 might beat the infuse in speed. Battery seems to be great I have had it off the hook since 4pm yesterday over 24 hours and im at 60% but i dont use it much only text and a few calls and little web browsing. I also have Juice defender. I think If the Sg 2 comes out within like 25 days i might go a get it but we will see. Other then that it is a great phone you can side load apps. Who knows about 2.3 but we will see soon i hope
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chvybeatsford:
For speed i guess i should have said lag. Just really hate to jump on something without any chance of improvement as i know a custom rom would be way better than any stock samsung rom.
