[Atrix 4G General] rpolansky:
I was never successful in getting my old HP 1012 to work directly through the lapdock configuration menu (in the settings you can setup printers). It is a usb printer attached to desktop. I can print from other devices (laptop, daughter's desktop) via wifi but never could set it up for the Atrix directly (lapdock never saw it). I messed with iis but what a pain to configure (particularly on Windows 7) so I gave up. I finally just installed Printershare (trial from the Android market) and it worked fine. Have to save a webpage and then print it to my HP..I also printed photos and they came out fine.

Newer wifi or bluetooth printers should not be a problem.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
I use PrinterShare (find it on the Market) with all my Android Devices at home. It works very well.

Obviously that works if your printer has WiFi or if your printer is connected to your USB enabled Router or NAS.

Cheers!

I'll try with my HP Officejet 6480 Wi-Fi enabled this night and see if it's supported. I guess it'll be 'cause i've already have configured that printer in Ubuntu.

Hi,

I'm running UGJK4 on Serendipity 6.4

I know there are some other people saying that JK4 is the best in Toronto/Mississauga area, but I want to hear from people that have taken this phone into Northern Ontario, where the signal is weak.

My experience on the highway was ok and at home, but when I got into the fringe zones i was getting no bars where this friends stock Acer Liquid E was getting 3 bars. This was on my patio, and I had to walk down to the dock, about 40 feet, to get a signal.

Any thoughts?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
I'm in Toronto and I find the best modems to be either JK4 or JL2. I'm on mosaic and JL2 gives me way better GPS than JK4 which was the opposite when I was on 2.2 based ROMs. Either way they are both good IMO. Give them a try.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PTGamer:
Mini PRO only

Shutdown the phone

Start the phone

W8 until the boot animation starts

Press power button+middle button + left button

the phone will vibrate

Release the buttons

The phone will ask for your PIN and you should be able to see a text(Safe Mode) on the botton left corner of the screen
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
And I have to ask something, What can do safe mode, that can't do xRecovery ? :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PTGamer:
if you didnt do a backup on xrecovery and if you install an app that may cause malfunction to the os. You can enter on "safe mode" and you can fix that.

i think it can help devs too... we need to explore the "Safe Mode"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newtron_b1:
well that's cool but its just something which does not allows me to play games and has dirty watermark of safe mode..! nothing much found..! dev people may try to **** around the kernel thingy! it might allow to change or edit it!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] phroenix:
can it be used to reset setcpu settings in case of boot/crash loops due to overclocking too high? if so i can see this being useful to anyone who checks 'set on boot' option and has problems...maybe?

would solve alot of 'keeps crashing' problems people complain about
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leftAlone:
Tried this on CM7 v14.5 by slade86 on my X10MP. Booted, saw the safe mode watermark, then it automatically rebooted. It wouldn't even let me unlock the screen.

One question: because my phone's vibrator dont work, how many secs i must push the buttons?

Thanks anyway...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] n4s:

I see that some people are complaining that is not useful, it might not be for them, but you never know if it won't help other, and it's always nice to know what soft is capable, like the engineering or hidden menus.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PTGamer:
4-7sec..

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aawesomeeemuch:
umm i really need your help. my x10 mini pro suddenly turn off by itself and cannot on back. when i press the power button , the screen just lit up , and goes black again (there was no boot animation). my brother said to go to safe mode and install original firmware so that my phone would work again, but now there's no boot animation at all.. what should i do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Djveneko:
Hi can someone plrase upload the original dialertabactivity.apk I deleted mines by accident and I found one that was supposely it was from the sgs4g but it still keeps foreclosing so I'm frustrating its not please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Russano:
Which ROM are you using? It's likely that the apk is specific to the ROM. The wrong one could brick your phone.

On a Linux box, you can untar the .tar.md5 file for Odin, and mount the factoryfs.rfs file directly. In a command line, cd to the directory where the factoryfs.rfs file was extracted to and execute the following command (where /mnt/a is the mountpoint I used):

# mount -o loop -t vfat factoryfs.rfs /mnt/a

Once mounted, the DialerTabActivity.apk file can be found in the app subdirectory under /mnt/a (or whatever you used as a mountpoint).

This worked on whitehawkx's stock deodexed KD1 ROM. I'm not sure how this would work for an odexed stock ROM.

All devices today are designed with protections against overcharging. I keep mind hooked up to the charger all day at my desk. Don't worry about it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
It is bad though. I know a lot of people who overcharge their laptops and gadgets and their devices stop holding charges. Their laptops have to be plugged in all day and night just for them to be able to use it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Traditional theory is that you should try to drain the battery as much as possible between charges so you have fewer total recharges. If you are plugging it in every night you are likely to start seeing diminished capacity is 1.5 - 2 years and may need a battery replacement at 2-3 years. If you only need to plug it in every other night, you can effectively double the battery life.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KYT:
what this ^^ guy said.

The batteries used today don't have "memory" any more, but the materials used internally have a service life, rated in charging cycles.

If 2 XOOMs with identical hardware and software were both used exactly the same, but 1 was plugged in every night regardless of need, and the other plugged in every other night, the effective charging life span of the battery internals would be approximately doubled.

But this doesn't actually answer your question.

No, leaving the XOOM plugged in will not hurt the battery or device.

Li-Ion is actually some what unstable. So the Mfgs incorporate overload protection circuitry into the battery itself.

It keeps the battery from being charged or drained too much.

The Li-Ion will become unstable above and below certain voltages.

Bump charging is an attempt to defeat this system, its like topping off the gas tank in your car.

If this protection fails the battery could overheat and potentially rupture.

I'm sure you remember the exploding laptop battery issues not too long ago?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboJ1M:
Hi,

I'm new to the forum, as well as doing anything other that turning on my Desire and using it with whatever T-Mobile gives me.

However it's now entirely out of space, there's nothing I can do about it and random bits of software have stopped functioning (I'm assuming it's because there is no space left as this symptom occured at the same time as total space failure)

I've decided to root and replace the stock ROM, because I want to use the SD car d, mounting it as space for app storage. For this I have purchased a PNY Class 10 16Gb uSD card.

But before I go off happily voiding my warranty I'm trying to nail down how I put it back again.

From what I've read on the rest of the forum I need the original ROM (RUU), HTC Sync and, unless the failure/help request threads are the exception to the rule, luck!

I've read lots of threads that state that the ROM I need though, has not yet been leaked. They are threads from January 2011 though so I may just have not found the right thread (although I did plough through all the ones I found)

Details:
Phone: HTC Desire (I won't know if it's AMOLED or SLCD until tonight)
Provider: T-Mobile UK
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build Number: 2.12.110.4 CL274424 release-keys

The common site for these (I forget the URL) usually pointed to does not yet contain a ROM with that version number.

However I have found this (pay for) URL:

I'm not allowed to post links yet. It's on GSMLibrary.com

That kind of looks like it matches.

At €1 a download it may be worth a stab, but is it safe? Apparently they are signed?

What's the deal with AMOLED and SLCD screens. As far as I can tell if I have an AMOLED screen I'm fine but if I try to flash a stock ROM for AMOLED onto an SLCD phone it bricks it (black screen)?

To summarize:

Are the requirements for restoring my Desire HTC Sync and the right RUU?

Is the RUU for my phone still not available?

Does that ROM look like the right one?

How do you tell?

Does matching the number mean you have the right AMOLED/SLCD ROM for your phone?

Many thanks,

J1M.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoogWeed:
I do not have any email/facebook/twitter set up on my phone at all and I have removed all Samsung hubs.

When I go to Settings > Applications > Running Services I see "Email" running 2 processes and 1 Service.

The Service is: ODEService

The processes are: Email (com.android.email) and Social Hub (com.seven.z7.service)

1) What are these processes/services and is there any reason these keep popping up even though I have removed all Samsung Hubs?

2)Also, in titanium backup there are two apps listed "Email 1.0" and "Email 3.0.0.1" are these Android apps or Samsung Apps?

fyi, I'm just investigating my excessive battery drain on light useage.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
So over the last few days my phone seems to have settled into some sort of weird pattern with reboots. Although there are outliers, in general it always seems to reboot between 19-24h of uptime and nearly always at like 45 or 50 mins past the hour. It's the most bizarre thing in the world and why I think there's some funky software doing it. I don't have true random reboots, but I can't figure out what it is that is doing this. Very odd.

In all cases my phone is sitting with the screen off (I've NEVER had a reboot while using the phone/screen on) but it doesn't matter what radios are on, WiFi, BT, GPS (can be off or on).

Last time I ran "CatLog" a logging app from Market and had it write to SD logs and a reboot happened but it only by default writes every 200 lines so the last line in the file was probably not the last line in the log. I'm going to try again later and set it to write every line or few lines so I can see the last entry in the log before a reboot. Might shine some light on it.

Just find it very strange since it's a very stable and capable phone for about 18hrs and then it just craps on itself. Very strange.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
finally. I too just think it is some weird software or driver bug because I was running EB 1.0.4 FINE for like 3-4 days and loving it... then it started resetting almost hourly. I didn't install any other apps past my initial normal set of apps.

Even CM7, seems like it is fine for a few days, then gets crazy. As long as I put a new nightly rom on it every day, it's good.

I didn't have any issues with stock though and didn't seem to have issues with CM7 for a while until lately.

The leaked GB rom causes lockups immediately out of the gate seemed hourly.

I use CM7 as my main daily driver now but I think you are on to something. We are talking about the Screen of Death right? I don't think mine ever reboots, but gets stuck at the lockscreen where the the display comes up, swiping to unlock vibrates then the phone but doesn't change screens to desktop. The buttons and click/drag widgets work even though you are looking the lockscreen.

I've never had my phone powered off in my pocket or noticed it "rebooting". Mine just has the SoD that seems to follow your pattern idea. They may be related. Stock roms may reset once it locks up, where CM7 just keeps running in its locked state.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I have a really strong sneaking suspicion that every G2X reboots but not everyone notices. Also if you naturually turn your phone off once a day or so you won't notice it perhaps or even a few days. The phone reboots pretty fast and the only way I've been noticing (except the times I see/hear it happen) is I have an uptime widget on my homescreen so it's obvious.

Same thing happened with my Droid Incredible btw...when it first came out there were all kind of random reboot issues. After a software update I would run that phone hard for 30-45 DAYS straight without a reboot.

It's annoying but I think it's just a matter of time before the G2X is the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
I just hope that update gets here sooner than later. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I dunno. The tmobile jingle is pretty loud and I never hear it. CM7 has a silent one so possibly there but I dunno.

I use my phone pretty often and never had the suspicious that it reboots. My phone stays very cool during my usage compared to my nexus and other phones

My uptime was 4 hours since I reset it last. I'll monitor it with results. It'll be hard not to flash but I'll keep track and see how far I can keep it online.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechFu:
i have not had any reboots or waking up to a dead phone ....with the only fix is a battery pull.... ever since I started.

1) my over night charging / long term charging to 100%... only on the LG charger that it came with. Only short term...maybe. less than an hour and not to a 100% charge on a non LG charger (car charger etc...)

2) I restart my G2x every morning when I take it off the LG charger..(after I take it off..I did it once while on the charger and had an issue... (there is definitely an issue related to when it charges to/ around 100% charge)

Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Pattern to my reboots - do yours have a pattern?

Hold Power and volume up simultaneously for about 10 seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PikkonX:
I've had my phone since Friday, but the only time I had the rebooting problem was this past Saturday when it rebooted four times within 15 minutes or so. Before the rebooting began, the phone had slowed down to a crawl, so I went ahead and rebooted it. After that, I sat it down and watched it reboot a few times on its own. Luckily my iPhone 4 owning co-worker was completely unaware of this issue since we tease and bicker with each other every day over Android and iOS :p.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I can guarantee that mine don't reboot. I've had it up fire days, checked the up time and play with it constantly.if it rebooted in the middle of the night I would hear it or the uptime would be close to zero in the morning..

I have a way stable phone.running stock, rooted with bloat removed.. I love this damn stable phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
What bloat did you remove? I've removed most but not all of it. Can you list it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Everything other than smart share, tegra zone and qik. Of course have nova and need for speed also.

Oh also have car home froze..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Maybe jumping the gun here but I tried to let mine go as long as it could without resetting it. I kept tabs on it and it was running awesome the entire time (#33 CM7).

Last time I noticed my phone on was like 17:33:xx hours. I had like 44% battery left. Next thing I know the phone is off. I tried turning it on and a battery icon flashed and turned back off.

What I am thinking is that perhaps the faulty battery driver is telling the phone that the battery is dead and preventing it from booting up. We were talking in another thread and I said something that really makes sense: If the battery driver tells the OS that there is 0% battery then it will just reboot. The battery itself may have a 50% charge left. That would explain the random reboots too (the battery driver telling the phone there is 1% left and cutting power). Maybe a hard reset semi-corrects the problem but eventually resets again due to false information.

My weirdness/powered off occurred right around 18hours. The phone could have just died too.

Almost need a Voltmeter so someone can test the battery (or however it can be tested).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yes I know the battery driver is part of the problem as can be seen on CM7 builds but what's odd is my time varies so for a long time it would reboot every 17-20 hours, now all of a sudden it goes to 36 hours before it usually reboots. Looking at logs it doesn't appear to throw any major errors before a reboot which implies that it's a a kernel panic or low-level fault. At this point I've given up on trying to find the issue since it's been repeated over and over that T-Mo and LG are releasing an update. Might as well enjoy the phone and wait for that to come out :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Amen. Just keep flashing CM nightlies and you'll never worry about it.

Ive noticed that XTC Clip people are doing an office for 10 devices for £649

http://xtcclip.com/new-products.php

That comes to £64.90 each works out a lot cheaper than £102. At £64.90 makes it worth having in the draw for months on end doing nothing for the day when you wanna unlock your phone or CID Unlock.

Plus no more giving out your IMEI numbers

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/23/business/media/23nook.html

I bought the Nook Color for my wife, she likes to read on it, and I get to tweak it and play with it as a tablet. Lately I used it more than her of course. And she doesn't mind what i do to it as long as she can still read her books.
[Nook Color General] richdaley:
Good article. I think we (rooters) are a big part of the success, not just because we buy them but we make the sales numbers look good enough to continue the push. It is also such an elegant looking device that the more people see them, the more they sell. I see a lot of them on the commuter train I take to work every morning. I would say I see more of them than iPad (I still see more original nooks, kindles, and Sony ereaders than anything). iPad sales are boosted by people that buy them because they are cool and want to use them at home. They are really too big and heavy to use comfortably on the train in my opinion and I am a 250 lb guy.

I wasn't aware of the problems Apple is having with magazine publishers. I am not a big magazine reader but I get Men's Health and it looks great on the Nook (both in the app on CM7 and the stock - I dual boot). There is no way that I would buy each edition at $4-$5. $2 a month for a subscription is a much more attractive price for me.
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Very ineteresting. I never realized magazines on the Nook Color were basically just PDF files.

Hopefully, publishers will eventually tweak their magazines so they fit the Nook Color's screen dimensions better "out of the box." I don't mind pinching and Zooming, and it's nice that the magazine is identical to the newstand copy, but it would be cool if the articles fit the screen better from the get-go without the need to pinch and zoom.

I'm probably going to buy a NC soon (first tablet) but reading the NY Times article they say that B&N is expected to debut a new e-reader this week.

Does anyone have any detail about this? maybe they'll drop the price of the current NC ($250), does someone know of a better deal? TIA

LU.
[Nook Color General] d.v:
No one knows for sure but speculation is it will be an update or an additional option the the original eInk Nook, not the Color. The Nook Color (NC) was only introduced last November as the NYT article states. With the latest upgrade and addition of apps, many think it is too soon to replace it.

The original Nook is about 1 year old which, in technology these days, means it's old.

Beyond that I haven't paid too much attention to what the actual details of the announcement might be. I'm not interested in another Nook. I'm happy with my NC.
