[Android Software Development] bobpsmith:
I have recently bought a Samsung Vibrant (T959) and being new to the Android universe I have been doing quite a bit of head scratching. Before you jump to the conclusion that I am one of those that just refuses to do research when faced with a problem (and resort to spamming help forums with threads like: “how do I make a call?” or “I know my phone is ON but why is my screen BLACK!?!?!?!?!?”) or that I am simply a dumbass:D, let me say that I since flashed to Trigger ROM 3.2 on the suggestion of (and with help from) the all around awesome fellow s15274n, and am learning more about the Android system every day. I believe that most of you will be familiar with the saying, "you can't go swimming without getting wet," (or similar paraphrasing), but it seems to me that in the realm of Android moding the saying goes a bit different, "you can't get wet without jumping in the deep end."

Now that I have "jumped in the deep end" at the nudging of s15274n I have a much better understanding of flashing, ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM Manager and more, however in the case of downloading flv and swf file I have run into so many dead ends that I am starting to wonder if I really am just a dumbass. I have searched Google and xda without much success, some people mention Download Crutch (the last posts on this were dated late 2008) and some replied that the abilities of the aforementioned program are available in Linda and Astro, but after downloading I can't figure out how to make them actually "download" anything. I know there is a way to download stuff from YouTube, but I don't really surf YouTube that much. On my PC I use Orbit Downloader for ALL my downloading needs (if you don't have it, GET IT!), but I can't find something similar for Android.

Before I close I’ll fill you in on my situation. I have a Samsung Vibrant (3G). I am running Trigger 3.2 and have Flash 10.3 and a number of Flash “Players.” I am on the $30 a month T-Mobile plan which only gives me only 30MB per month, I can get a “unlimited day pass” for $1.50, but after the first 30MB the data rate slow so that video streaming is impractical to say the least. I would like to be able to download a movie or tv show (or mayhap something even less PG…or even R) using wifi to view later.

I suspect that there is a way to do so and that I am just missing something very fundamental as there are almost no recent threads on this and some people seem to imply that they are doing it, they just don’t say how.

I know that this is probably just a wee bit long for such a noobishly simple question, but hours of frustration have left me with some issues to work out. While I am on the subject, has anyone been able to watch megavideo without being redirected to that STUPID F%^&ING game website?

In closing, I find Flash withdrawal to be quite drag and I would be eternally grateful help getting my fix.

Robert

P.S. I think I may have posted this in the wrong forum, oops...

I need help getting email from my Exchange Server at work onto my Nexus S.

We have Exchange Server 2003 SP 2. When I try to set it up, it says "Unable to connect to server." I have tried every configuration known to man on my end. I'm positive now the problem lies on the Exchange Server side.

I asked our Exchange admin and he said he would set it up however was needed to let me get my mail on my Nexus, and to just let him know what changes to make. Unfortunately, I haven't a clue what to tell him!

Please advise, and thanks in advance.

Matt
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
The email address is your default Exchange address (firstname.surname@company.com or whatever your policy is). Your username is your internal domain prefix backslash your username (domain\jsmith) your password is your regular Windows password.

The server address is your externally accessible Outlook Web Access URL (owa.company.com).

I tell it to use SSL but not accept any old cert. Depends if your OWA box has a real SSL or a homemade one.

This is how our Exchange 2003 works, anyway.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Well it turns out this solved our problem:

Apparently a known issue with Exchange ActiveSync 2003.
[Acer Iconia A500] xManMythLegend:
I use voice to text extensively which is the main purpose for the tablet. If any further than a few inches away from the microphone. It's comes up garbled or not picked up at all. This happens with stock keyboard and dragon keyboard. Voice recordings are also terrible.

I don't have any handy to try out. Does anyone know if standard headsets or even bluetooth headset will work for voice detection?
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Currently Acer indicates that the Iconia doesn't work with Bluetooth mics, only A2DP audio (out). BT mic in will likely be in a future update (not sure if it'll be in the 3.1 due late June or a specific firmware update.)

The spec sheet indicates that the headphone jack also supports mic-in so a wired headset _should_ work but I don't have one to verify with, sorry :|

Wired mic headset works for me.

Is it possible to "root" and flash a ROM for a DesireHD A9191 clone,

that is running android 2.2.1 ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] moh8021:
you can!!! i did mine, you have to downgrade your desire hd to 1.34 version, turn the s-off, then upgrade to gingerbread install gingerbreak, and your good to go, i did it on mine and works!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adkonn:
Can you please explain a little more, on how to downgrade from 2.2.1 to 1.34.

Also what is s-off ?

Which gingerbread rom did you install, and did you use rom for desire hd ?

With or without htc sense ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] moh8021:
well follow this link for downgrade: http://androidadvices.com/how-to-downgrade-htc-desire-hd-to-1-32-405-6-ota-firmware/

you might not have sound since its not compatible

then you download visionary: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m/320722/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/

you first temproot then permanent root

then you s-off and eng-off by using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

than you do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855403

check off the i have radio s-off cause you did it in the first step as i showed you

then upgrade to gingerbread which has 2.1 sense ( so it does have the sense) here is the link:

http://jobdeal.org/gingerbread-2-3-3-rom-for-desire-hd-review/

if you are doing the RUU way you have to make a goldcard which is very easy, you download goldcard helper you grab the MMC2 not mmc0 or mmc1 then you download this on you computer: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/

then when you upgrade to gingerbread you need to install gingerbreak to root it again cause your root is gone it might give you error message saying " hey something happend it might not been rooted restart the phone manually" restart it you should be rooted and all good to go here is the link to gingerbreak download: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Don't try to follow the method provided by moh8021 as it will not work on your phone. Your phone is a chinese clone (MTK based smartphone), isn't it?

What do you really want to do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adkonn:
yes it is,

i wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.3.x

and root.

Is it possible? If yes i need a step by step guide.

Mine is the asian clone and this way worked on mine, i bought it from hongkong when i was there
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Yes, but your's original from HTC. The clone that adkonn is referring to is a chinese clone, based on MT6516 chip, totally different hardware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adkonn:
about Desire HD mtk clone

my phone does not connect to HTC Sync, even though HTC Sync installs an app

I'm sure there is a way to uprade from 2.2.1 to 2.3.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
Okay... I will not insist any more.

Go to this chinese forum and you'll know that there's no 2.3 ROM for your phone.

I also have an A9191 china-phone with MTK CPU and would like to know if someone succedeed in flashing it with different cooked ROM (whatever it is 2.2 or alse)...

Thanks in advance for replaying

Newer phones with MTK6516 CPU running Android OS 2.3 are on the market so now it's reality!

But how we can performe the up-grade and most of all with which ROM?

Please who can help do it!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykellyuk:
So just orders the transformer to be delivered on Saturday. But have I heard that I should root before I even boot it up? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Personally I'd leave it as standard for now and wait for Asus to release Honeycomb 3.1, each to their own though. What's your reason for wanting to root straight away?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykellyuk:
To install the modaco roms. Look like they improve speed. Plus scared some of the updates will lock down the device so I wont be able to root later. Is that possible?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enectic:
I would leave it stock until the dev community picks up. There's not really a HUGE incentive to rooting right now and with 3.1 supposedly coming next month you might not want to tinker with it to much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
i agree. im all for rooting and tinkering but with my TF im waiting till the asus updates dry up a bit and the custom ROMs mature a bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykellyuk:
But could Asus lock it down so that rooting is impossible in the future? Thanks for the advice
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life64x:
I would leave it alone and leave it stock. HC 3.1 will be faster. I love root on my evo, color nook and even my ipad is jailbroken. But for my transformer...it does not make sence for me yet. And the few Roms out there will have 3.01 stuff. Locking down is common...seems like it..but for nearly every lock..there is a wat to penetrate it. I quests it would be a good way to practise rooting but remember every time you root...increase a chance to brick your device. The cummunity for the transformer is growing and some very sharp people out there to develop...now just is early. I am going to wait untilled 3.1 comes out then do it so I only have to do it once.

Who is using Lpp? I love the look of the stock launcher but it is so slow when rotating the screen and moving around. Lpp is very quick and smooth, and loads the widgets instantly after rotation but doesn't have a nice of look as the stock launcher.

What do you guys think?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Can't say I've got any reason to change the vanilla launcher or KB for that matter. Very happy with stock at the moment. I'll wait to see how the developers try and one up HC as they did for 2.2.
[Acer Iconia A500] jganyard:
I tried it but it just didn't feel right on the tablet. Loved the resizeable Widgets though.

I haven't used LPP but I know for ADW it can be themed. Can't you do the same for LPP?
[Acer Iconia A500] PhilDsT:
You can. LP Forum
[Acer Iconia A500] bestbeancounter:
I use LPP for my Iconia.. I had to change the number of columns and rows to make everything fit and look better because of the additional real estate. Although I use LPP because of the Friends widget since I haven't found any other widget that does the same thing so far (although I haven't tried very hard looking).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsnoahyo:
I hope I'm not starting a thread thats been covered but I looked for a while before this. I really want this animation, and I know its available on cm7, but I kinda wanna stick with stock as much as possible. I found this on the droid x forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1014514. What I'm wondering is if there are specific xml files in the zip that control the screen off animation, and if i can pull my framework-res.apk and just overwrite those files and push it back. I'm pretty sure trying to just flash their zip is a bad idea.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroth1439:
If you're running stock rom with temp/perm-root you wont be able to do any of that. To put it simply, any changes that you make to /system in stock rom will undo itself upon reboot :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
From what I understand there is a bit more to it than just swapping a few files. If it was easy all of the roms would have it

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
I miss that animation! One of the things I really loved about cm7. But I have changed rom which I am more happy with so I can live without it. But I'm a little bit sad.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsnoahyo:
i was looking in the forums for other devices and they have a mod for the droid x to enable it. or a modified framework-res.apk for it anyway. l0st.prophet has a rom that has it for the incredible s, but he said he had to make a few changes to services.jar, framework-res.apk and HTC-resources.apk to enable it. maybe that could be a start? he advised the guy that asked to compare his rom's services.jar, frame-res.apk and htc-rec.apk with their stock ones, but since im not using an incredible s, i dont know how much the comparison would help. this is really burning my grits. i want the animation, dang it! haha

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterkoarl:
heya all!

i just got my GT-I9100 today; it was bought from A1 (part of vodafone) austria, but it does not have a simlock, they usually "lag behind" with those and business customers seem to be able to get some of the first models that do not have any lock yet.

but thats not the issue; i fiddled around with a few things, namely: root it with that superoneclick thingie, install rom manager, (unsuccessfully) try to flash clockworkmod recovery with it, ..

and then i realized that it does not actually replace the "android system recovery 3e" at all, for some reason. actually i seemed to have both the 2e and the 3e version available SOMEwhere, when i did an "adb reboot recovery" i got into the 3e version, with some key combo i managed to get into 2e (i think it was vol-down + power)

in any case, after searching forums for a while i found info that people have been installing "darky's 9.2 resurrection" in this case because it kind of completely wipes everything and gives a clean base to start with.

so i tried that, and i think it was a bad idea to actually re-partition with odin with the included PIT file. in any case, the flashing process completely halted right after it started; after many minutes i unplugged the phone, odin immediately gave me a red FAIL label, and since the phone didn't react anymore i power cycled it via its battery. i guess that was the second mistake :)

now i'm stuck in a state of complete darkness. the appearently common issue of "black screen after logo" is something different, i don't get ANY reaction from the phone WHATSOEVER. regardless of what keys i press in what combinations etc, it acts as if the battery was completely empty (which it definitely is not). USB does not do anything either.

i also noticed that the phone got unusually warm in the area of the camera, not like HOT, but warmer than i was able to get it by just toying around with it the hour before. i mean, if i try to turn it on and stuff, so it looks to me as if it is doing something, but it cannot even initialize the display or usb.

i ordered some components and will try this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551 even tho it explicitly states that it won't help against all-blackness, just in case.

anyone got any ideas of what i could still do? or is trying to get a replacement from the carrier my only option?

just for additional info, i also have 2 HTC desires, and never managed to brick them to death, i have some clues about adb and the sdk in general, i'm not completely clueless when it comes to android, but since i don't even get any kind of touchable interface (usb wise) i'm out of ideas...

thanks & regards

[Venue Pro General] missionsparta:
Let me know if anyone else understands my point or if I am the one that is nuts.

I bought the Dell Venue Pro for $249 with an additional $20 a month added to my cell bill to subsidize the other $250 that the $500 device actually costs.

I have returned 5 of these units and out of no where Dell's customer service (Kapeesh is his name) has started calling me, to inform me that they want to offer me other options since they can't get me a working device.

They want me to send the device back and they will give me back my $250. I explained that that puts me in the hole, because I would still be making payments with the extra $20 a month (which eventually goes in Dell's pocket) for the next year and a half. Further more, since I already have a contract, they will not subsidize a new phone to me. The only comparable phone with T-Mobile is the HD7, which will cost me $499 with this existing contract.

So I explained their 'refunding' the device in the manner of which they speak gives them money, and I get nothing in return, and then have to shell out more money to buy a phone completely outright.

They keep talking to me like I am nuts and that I am trying to double talk them into handing me more money I don't deserve.

Does anyone else understand what I am saying, or am I looking at this incorrectly?
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Well, you're defintely not nuts. These are people reading from a script, with no authority to think outside of the script. I am surprised they have gone to this length though.

I've heard the same deal from others, but it was swapping for a HD7, straight up... no extra money, but I think a contract extension was required. Those extra $$ you pay could be hte smartphone fees everyone charges now...so with an HD7 you would have to pay them too.

Maybe you got a new guy who was not reading correctly.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
So rather than provide a simple software update Dell is going to refund users money? That says to me they have no clue how to deliver this update, and would rather eat the cost of refunds. Terrible, terrible company.
