Hello! I have nandroid backup for CDMA Tab. Is there any way to convert it to file format flashable by Odin or Heimdall? CDMA Tab owners, this can give us working bootloaders, etc.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af974:
Sorry, i'm on Tablet and i do not have links but if you go to Xda Chef Central forum, you can download dsxda kitchen and easy extracy it (this is the easy way)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadhero:
Will try that, thank you! Not sure if it'll work for tab though, as it's not listed.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af974:
Wait, i misunderstood what you meant.

Actually dsxda kitchen works fine with gt nandroid backup but you you cannot convert it to heimdall or odin format, anyway you can extract it and build a cwm build.

Sorry for the mistake.

Currently on KE2, I get an alert telling me there is a new firmware available from Kies, but then will not allow me to update ('This version of the device cannot be updated').

Can anyone else check if there is an update available? Thanks.

Hi,

Anyone came across apps to automatically change wallpaper when the phone is being charged/usb?

I tried tasker, but it doesn't support 'live' wallpaper, it only do standard wallpaper.

Purpose: I like to keep my screen on while charging, but I don't want to get screen burn so live wallpaper would be ideal; also it looks nice having live wallpaper while the phone is docked, it'll make the apple fanboys around my desk jealous :-).

PS: tried google with no luck; so if you can point me to an apps/hack let me know.

cheers

I have a problem with my new device

the problem is the phone can connect to the wireless but can't update the weather or using market .

My previous device was HTC HD was fine with the network ..

But the new device not ???? :mad:

My modem is SpeedTouch 585

any solution !!
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
Back up everything first and do factory reset.

Or try to reflash with another RUU.

Check that too your background data must be enabled..

And does your internet browser work on mobile?

I'm kinda noob in this scene :S

Just played with a work colleague's Galaxy S2 and now my Vision feels like the fat ugly friend you see standing with the tall hot chick in a nightclub :(

That phone is properly awesome...

I cannot live without a physical keyboard so I don't have the option of getting one, sadly.

Please say some stuff to make me feel better about my phone?

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Consider it an evil of the technology treadmill. A newer product is typically going to be faster and better than an older one (unless the manufacturer really screwed up!). You'll drive yourself crazy envying every new phone that comes along that is newer than what you have. So unless you have wads of cash to buy every nice looking phone that comes out, most of us have to make a decision based on the choices you have at the time you want to upgrade, and live with it until you can afford the next upgrade. No doubt, even if you bought a Galxy S2, you would end up salivating the next "latest and greatest" in a few months. Appreciate the fact that you have a nice performing, solidly built phone with a hardware keyboard, that has (and will continue to have, for some time) great developer support.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Ya my roommate just got the g2x and now I hate my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
I know my phone is good and dev support is GREAT, which will allow it a decent enough lifespan for some time to come.

But I just wish someone would put out a super-phone WITH A DAMN KEYBOARD!! I don't care what it would cost to buy, I would buy it. Sure this phone can be OC'd quite nicely, but with the weak mono speaker, average camera and video, screen which is rubbish in direct sunlight, etc. it's not really my dream hardware :-/

Here's hoping the next Nexus comes with with a keyboard, dual (or quad!) core, a gig of ram and decent multimedia components!!

[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
I hear you about the direct sunlight. That absolutely blows. Someone wants to trade me the nexus s and I would be all down for it except the no keyboard and few other quirks like no sd card.

I know i'm in the minority on this one but screens can be too big. HD7 for example. Just looks gaudy and over the top to me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cjward23:
I'm with you 4.3" is to big. My bro has a DHD and I find it uncomfortable to use.

My boss just got SGS2 and I have to admit I'm a bit jealous because it is awesome. But I can't see my self ever having a phone without a hardware keyboard so the S2 is a no go for me. I'm certain my next phone will be the successor to the G2, assuming that HTC backtrack on the whole bootloader thing.

I hear you about the boatloader. That is a dam shame any way you look at it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dannejanne:
I am not envy of any other phone that does not have a hardware keyboard!
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
If you want to deal with odin and lack of support for updates. Go samsung. They make nice hardware. But what good is the hardware with crap support to back it up.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] havikx:
Ditto. There may be faster bigger brighter phones out there, but the g1 and the g2 are such solid phones. They refuse to die. Specially g2 at 1.5ghz. It can still compete. Developers support is do big as compared to some other phones. Htc all the way. Hoping for unlocked bootloader on the sensation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dannejanne:
Indeed. My Z can do anyting I need from a phone including playing ps1 games and map keys to play with. What more can I ask for. I will never give it up unless there will be a new powerful mobile with hardware keyboard, which is layed out the same way as the Z keyboard where every other row is shifted.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Huff0481:
Couldn't have said it any better myself sir! I absoletly love my phone and I have yet to be envious of any phone since getting mine back in Nov. Love the rom I'm using and couldn't see myself using any other.

[G2 and Desire Z General] DavidMc0:
I had an HD2 for ages, an S2 for a few days (then sold it because I could make £160 profit on e-bay due to people paying silly prices!), now I've just ordered a desire Z to give it a go (£263.39 on ebuyer inc VAT)!

Though the S2 was nice & the HD2 does the job, I'm now much more excited about having a hardware keyboard than anything the S2 had to offer!

Unless you dislike hardware keyboards, I agree there's no point having phone envy yet - the S2 does nothing that the HD2/Desire Z can do; it just does things more smoothly!
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I would agree that there are phones out there that might be 'prettier' and provide some 'eye candy' but I don't think I would trade my DZ for any other device out there right now.

I too cannot live without a hardware keyboard and the DZ has one of the best keyboards I have ever used. It took some getting used to because of its size, but after that initial period, a keyboard has never felt better in my hands.

And while it may not have the fastest Dual Core Processor on the market, I have yet to find any set of tasks that my DZ can't handle. Throw in the unlocked bootloader and arguably the best developer support of any Android Device and you have a recipe for a long-lasting, competitive smartphone.

I won't even consider upgrading until we get a phone that looks like a 'G3'...
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey:
i work at best buy and i see this same situation almost everyday. technology is a love hate thing. you just have to realize that its going to be constantly changing, and getting better. lets not forget that the vision is still a highend phone, and kicks alot of phones asses. i love my g2, but i do see myself getting a htc sensation. ive come to realize that although the kb on the vision is amazing, its not something i have to have. the vision is a great phone, along with the desire hd, nexus s, mytouch 4g and all of the phones that came out the same time this one did. its awesome. you just have to realize that if it does what you want with no problem, then why hate?
[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
I'd have to disagree with the fact the Vision is high end any more. On release yes, but 6mths down the road it's only just mid-range in pretty much all areas EXCEPT the keyboard. Single core chip (albeit a reasonable one), 512mb RAM (really? The DHD had 768mb), an average 5mp camera...

I think we make a lot of excuses for this phone, just to have the keyboard. I had to think long and hard about keeping my second one because of the questionable z-hinge, and decided that I'd have to live with it since there were no other qwertys coming out (except the Droid 2/Milestone 2 which is a no-no with encrypted bootloader).

I hate the weight of the thing, I hate the battery life (which although better than my old Desire, is still pretty poor as I work in a weak 3G area), I hate the fact I struggle to see the screen in the sunlight, I hate the sh*t-arse weak speaker which struggles to get above one decibel without distorting, and I hate the fact that HTC always cheap out on cameras, the video-recording is crap.

People come to me at work and ask what phone they should buy cos I'm kind of that guy who knows a little bit. And they've all seen the recent HTC marketing campaign here in the UK, they're like "Oh you have an HTC, do you think I should get this HTC (model)?" And I find myself saying "No, get this Samsung, or get this iPhone, they have better features that you would get use out of".

I know I'm not at the point where I want to give up the awesome dev support that HTC phones usually get, but I am at the point where I hope devs start supporting other brands a lot more too. Especially in light of HTCs locking of bootloaders, and the fact it's getting harder and harder to get full access to them. HTC has the big rep as the hacker's choice, but I don't think their hardware justifies it any more. Not at the moment at least.

Don't get me wrong, there is no other phone I'd rather have at the moment, since one doesn't exist. And the rom I'm on is frigging amazing. But if Samsung bring out an S2 with a keyboard then I'd have a heard time saying no to that, as would a lot of other people I imagine. I never thought I'd consider a Samsung after last year's update debacle, and I'm still hesitant now. But if enough devs get one, then they would sort out any probs the phone has.

OK, rant over!

I just watched an unboxing of the HTC Sensation coming to Tmobile ... GODDAMN .. that is a thing of beauty..
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
While this is true and all, I still think our phones are the best overall hardware for someone who needs a physical keyboard like myself. There are plenty of physical keyboard models out there (not as many as touch only of course), and there is still yet one to come out with better overall specs than this phone.

Yep, and that's the BIGGEST problem with Samsuck. They tend to make pretty incredible hardware (minus the vibrant, who the heck makes a camera without a flash nowadays?), but their support is absolutely abysmal. A friend here at work has an Epic 4G, and he's STILL on Eclair. Absolutely unacceptable support.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
And even when they do update its dam near impossible for the layman to even know. My friend has a vibrant still on 2.1. I start talking about downloading and installing kies mini and there eyes just glaze over. She is still using the vibrant in that crappy handicapped condition to this day.

LOVE LOVE LOVE samsung phone, refuse to buy them anymore because touchjizz makes it damn near impossible for even the dev community to just update the phones themselves.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Was your former opinion on sliders based on HTC phones, or other brands? I ask this because this is my 3rd HTC phone with a keyboard, and they have all been very solid. Yes, they do add thickness and weight. But typing on a hardware keyboard is light years faster and more accurate than the inferior hunt-and-peck screen keyboard method of the iPhone and other "standard" touch screen keyboards. And with Swype, my typing is actually even faster than the hardware keyboard (although it takes some getting used to, and you are not the first person to complain about Swype).

I've tried time and time again to use the keyboard on the iPhone, and its always just painfully slow and my typing filled with error after error. Especially having used hardware keyboards on smartphones for years, and being able to fly through typing tasks with nearly complete accuracy. This was one of my top reasons for having never bought an iPhone, despite having been an AT&T customer for a decade.

I also have small hands, to I don't see where the notion that a landscape hardware keyboard is hard to type with small hands.

But to each his own. I think your personal preferences are very much the opposite of mine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] floored24:
I came from a vibrant and it doesn't compare to the dz. Hardware keyboard with custom andriod is a must for me
[G2 and Desire Z General] sodvs:
I actually love the g2 more now....I sold my g2 last month to get a g2x only to find myself missing the g2. Sure the g2x was much faster than the g2...but I found I rarely need something that fast. I also realize I can't live without a keyboard combine with how ugly I thought the g2x was I ended up selling the phone and bought a g2 again. So for now I'm very happy with my g2 and proably won't upgrade until a super phone with a keyboard gets released.

[G2 and Desire Z General] blackknightavalon:
I've seen coworkers' newer Android phones, boasting about them just because they're newer. Meanwhile, my G2 is rooted, running the latest PyroMod, and clocked at 1.5Ghz and it blows their newer phones away. I really wish my G1 still worked, though.

Just ran through the process of using Odin 1.7 to flash my Tab up to Ginger. Everything went accorfing to the instructions. A total thumbs up on the process. The thing is now that the Tab is on again i go into Settings and find i'm on Firmware 2.2 and Build Froyo.XXJMA - doesnt sound right to me.

What have i missed? Everything went exactly according to the instrcutions

Another question - when you do the second flash do you need to use the PIT file again - i didnt
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pendevous:
No you don't. You partition the pit along with the gingerbread. Then just flash the dbdata, and make sure partitioning is off.

It would be wise to factory reset everything first, though.

make sure you use the tar file in the instructions. If you;re still having problems contact me I might be able to help.

[Xperia Play General] kenshindono:
Seriously! I'am amazed by the quality of this phone. It's not because i bought it. It's because i compared it to other phone Like Galaxy S and G1 and of course my HD

The phone is fast and reactive. The application i installed are very stable and works without problems.

And the Games are actually high Level despite those made from PS1 that sucks because of the limitation of the catalog. (I wait for games from Square Soft titles)

I tried Neogeo emulation and played with the pad. I can tell for sure that any move or combo can be performed easilly. Precision is almost like the PS3 Pad and much more better than the PSP. :eek:

In fact i completly forgot my PSP since i got this phone. I don't use it anymore...

Last thing I tried was using the pad to control the mouse of my PC with Teamviewer and it worked ! You can move accurately the cursor with the direction and use the X button to click /Double click. Of course other actions could be performed via the screen.

Great potential for this year, I just hope that Sony will keep updating the device frequently.

Ahh that's the one, thanks man!
[Desire HD Accessories] MamaSaidWhat?:
I did the exact same thing. I bought a carbon effect one from ebay (for next to nothing) to see how it looked, felt, protected the phone etc. and when it arrived, i was pretty happy. It looked decent enough and seemed to be of reasonable quality for the price so i put my phone in (which seemed to require an abnormal amount of effort) and then it appeared that the case was a little too tight. I then spent the next 20 minutes attempting to get my DHD out of it and when i finally did the imitation leather/material was starting to tear so i threw it away.

I also decided to buy myself a nice cheap Desire S style silicone/gel case from ebay (once again, for next to nothing) and i couldn't be happier! It offers more than ample protection and it looks great. So i'd advise that if you're on a budget that you stick to a gel case, unless you want to spend much more money on a higher quality leather flip case.
[Desire HD Accessories] vernsan:
I think I've bought the same carbon case. It's a pain in the butt to get off lol

[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
I was quite rightly introduced (by the largest Vegan site on the planet) to the plight of animals when it comes to the meat and leather industry. So you might want to consider a TPU case or something else, especially after seeing these videos (i made a quick page).

I use a TPU case and it's been great alongside a separate sleeve. Thankfully there are many other options out there too.
