Thank you I will try it now, and repost if problems are solved or still appears.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCrystal:
Yeah. Factory reset, then put the new baseband and amss. Then put streakdroid. In fact, run qdltool first, then do all that, so you'll at least be back to a fresh setup.

Hi ok I think it works fine. I only Hardreset via ClockModRec. And this every Time :D But ok it works so fine :D

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oysteivi:
Hi,

I have terrible 3G (UMTS) reception at my office, but good 2G (GSM), so to save battery and make the phone as usable as possible I switch to 2G when at work. I used to go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks and switch on "Use only 2G networks", and lately I've been using the "Toggle 2G/3G" function in the CM7 notification power widget.

However, it is slightly annoying to have to remember this toggle every time I enter/leave the office, so I'd really like to have an app that does this for me. Does anyone know of an app that can toggle 2G/3G based on either location or time? I'm using CyanogenMod 7.0.3 if that makes a difference.

I've tried a few different profile/setting switching apps, but none of them seem to be able to do this (while all can turn APN on/off, which I don't want. I want data enabled all the time, just over GSM part of the time). Even the apps that claim to have a toggle for 2G/3G seem to be just shortcuts to "Mobile Networks" settings.

Would really appreciate any helpful suggestions :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tornado007:
I m doing the Pentest of an appliance based on Android OS 2.2 [customised]

The client removed all the GUI option of enable "USB debugging" using which I could issue ADB commands / attain root access.

In "Application Setting" tab, "Install Applications from Unknown sources" is also removed. So I cannot install the 3rd party applications.

But now i m stuck, there is no open port on appliance.

Is there any workaround for this ??? To install the 3rd party apps OR try to get R00t access :)

It would be great if any help me out from this.

need some help and thanks in advance :p

I have a rooted tab. will I be able to update firmware using kies or I have to unroot first?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seamus1:
As I understand it, it should not be a problem. Rooting shouldn't disable this. You aren't altering the firmware per say, you are giving yourself root access.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Maybe I am just impatient to get the GB. Kies always says I have the latest firmware.....Reluctant to flash,never done it before. Also so many things may not work....
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mado007:
I have a rooted SGT. Thru Kies I got the message that I could upgrade to new firmware. But I couldnt flash the upgrade until I unrooted my Tab. So be patient ;-D or use a custom rom.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btyork:
If you follow the guide included with the overcome rom... And i mean follow it exactly... Than you have very little chance of messing anything up... Most people who mess it up skipped steps or didn't flash with a full battery...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gigamchz:
I found this but it looks to me to be a domain placeholder or something.

It describes using unrevoked to root the incredible 2

"htcdroidincredible2.com/root-incredible-2"

if it's not real, what method does unrevoked use that won't work with the I2?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr. Clown:
Thread moved
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
It says:

"This works on any HTC phone, so if you have a different phone than the Incredible 2, just select whatever phone you have."

Totally incorrect. It will not work on any other device than the ones listed on the unrevoked website. You can try it if you want, but odds are that it will brick your phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gigamchz:
Like brick brick? or could I revive it with an sbf?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't try it. If unrevoked worked for any of the new HTC devices, we would have known about it long ago.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
Is there anyway to deodex the Infuse yet?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
probably the same as a galaxy s. gtg465x posted one but we are haveing trouble getting a successful odin package to fix the phone when things go wrong so people were not willing to try it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
Thank you for the fast respond, are we gonna lose the phone if something goes wrong. or if something goes wrong is there a way to fix it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
well with samsung we are lucky enough to have odin which is a factory flash tool. unfortunately it is not working on the infuse 100%, there may be a new build of it just for the infuse but it hasnt been leaked yet as far as we know. there is also an opensource application called heimdall that works in place of odin. there has been some success with heimdall but the one user that restored with it is having random vibrate issues.

there are still things to figure out, but there is no reason you cant flash with cwm, there are just no proven roms or reliable methods to restore if it goes wrong.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
Thanks again:). I'll just wait since I'm not good in doing these kind of things.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
Just to chime in, you can definitely softbrick the phone if you try to deodex the rom and something goes wrong. I know from experience (happened to me yesterday :() As far as I know, I'm the only one who has successfully flashed back to stock using h8rift's original test tar but now there's confusion about whether it's reliable or not due to other testers' experiences. We're gonna get there just hang tight.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
So there are already some people brick their devices :( and good to know that you have successfully flashed it back.

I just have no idea how to do these kind of things this is my first Android device. I had HD2 and was so easy to do anything. I'm just afraid to brick my infuse, so I'll just wait:p

I just need to deodex it so I can be able to read and write in Arabic.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feoen:
Hi everyone. Please bear with me, I am new to the forum. I got my transformer and dock last week and I am absolutely loving it; blows away every other Android tablet out there at the moment. And, unlike a lot of users, the only major problem I have had with mine is a minor amount of light bleed at the bottom of the screen.

However, I am extremely disappointed with the included Polaris Office Suite because of some bugs I am experiencing. At first I was going to make this topic under Apps, but I am worried that it is actually the Keyboard Dock at fault, so I made it in this forum.

1. As I am typing it works fine, no lag or anything. But then if I hit Backspace, and then I begin typing, it deletes half to 3/4ths of the line I am typing on! If I hit Undo, it undoes the second to last thing that happened; it is as if I had never typed the line at all!

This is seriously detrimental to the usefullness of Polaris. I discovered, however, that this does NOT happen when I am using the on screen Android keyboard. This ONLY occurs when I am using the keyboard dock. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I am a speed typist, and it cannot properly hold what I type? I'm not sure.

2. If I copy and paste information within Polaris, the pasted information comes out under default formatting no matter what the formatting was before it, and no matter what the formatting was of the area around it. This means that font size is default, and even sentence spacing. This really ruins the usability of copy and paste within Polaris. However, I noticed: this ONLY happens when the tablet is connected to the Keyboard Dock. If I do a copy and paste on the tablet only, it retains proper formatting.

These are most likely bugs on Polaris' end, but it concerns me that these only arise from use of the Keyboard Dock accessory. I am going to be using this primarily for note-taking, so it is imperative that I keep all notes without having to retype or reformat.

I am on the stock OS, with the OTA update that was available when I got my tablet.

Has anyone else had these issues?

Any help would be most appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolobabes:
CM7 can make you install apps on the sd card, how does it differ from app2sd or app2ext? i have been trying to decide if i should partition my new sd card or its not necessary. There must be an advantage to have app2ext right?

Thank you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
CM7 basically allows you to move all applications using Froyo's app2sd mode. Even ones that have disabled it (like live wallpapers and widgets as those won't work when installed that way).

app2sdext works differently as it will install apps directly to an ext partition on your sdcard (that you manually have to set up). This functionality is NOT build into CyanogenMod, but is easily added with a number of different apps/scripts. This will give you a lot more free space on your phone, and all apps can be installed there regardless of whether they have widgets or have services running. Most app2sdext options will also give you the option of moving the dalvik cache to the sdcard which will save you a substantial amount of space on your internal memory.

Basically, if you want a lot of memory intensive apps, your only decent option with a Nexus One is an app2sdext solution. (I have it with a 1GB partition, and I will soon either need to resize it or delete apps... adding app2sdext was the second best thing I ever did to my phone behind installing CyanogenMod on it.)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolobabes:
why didnt i think of that? thank you for your reply... now i should decide whether to do it now or wait till i have reached maybe about a hundred apps. by the way does it have any effect on the speed of the phone if you do that?

I am on cm7 and decided to put cache apps on sd card using ta utility is there any other new apps like that? ta
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettbellaire:
Can you do this with rooted stock?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I have a class 4 32GB card, and I didn't notice any appreciable difference in speed. I have moved my apps and dalvik cache to the sdcard using DarkTremor's a2sd. I currently have 260 apps installed on my phone, and that is pushing the internal phone space and the 1GB partition I set up for ext. I am about to bug danger-rat for his instructions on how he resized his internal partitions to give the data residing on the phone more space (I will basically shrink the cache partition and I am looking at resizing my ext partition to 1.5GB or 2GB.

I couldn't live without this anymore. I don't know how I went so long without it. It is so nice to just browse the online market and click install on countless apps without worrying about your space.

If you want to try and move the app data (resides in /data/data) to the sdcard, I have heard that it is recommended to have a class 10 card to keep up with speed requirements. I am not sure how many apps support that.

I believe you can. You would have to have a custom recovery. The main thing I am not sure is if it will mount the ext partition. If you have a custom recovery, do a nandroid backup (just in case it doesn't work), flash the zip for DarkTremor, and reboot the phone (the first boot will take longer).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolobabes:
yes you can.

thanks for the reply i think i read on darktremors post class 4 will do for the data2sd. I have class 4 16GB sd card would 1GB good for the ext? ty
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
It really depends on how much you think you will be installing. I did a 1GB partition on mine, but now that I install most of the Amazon free daily apps, that space is dwindling quickly. I have programs that will resize the partition for me, but most will have to wipe the card and partition it manually. I do have the install location set to automatic, so it allows developers to specify whether they want it in the "internal" (really it is on the sdext partition, but to the phone it is internal) or external using the froyo method. The Angry Bird apps all default to install on the sdcard, so my installed app base is even larger than 1GB.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decoyjoe:
I second this :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolobabes:
is it true that cwm sets the partition to ext3 by default? unlike in ra recovery where you still need to convert it? ta
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I have heard that it creates it in ext3, but right now, DTa2sd is showing that it is a ext2 partition. I can't figure out how to find out for sure while the card is in the phone. Either way, it is getting mounted as an ext2 partition.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolobabes:
then it maybe so, this was posted on the darktremor thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14134665#post14134665
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Well, whether or not it is formatted as an ext3 partition, Android is still mounting mine as an ext2 partition.

mount | grep ext

NOTE: the "|" is called a pipe. On the keyboard it is the shift option on the backslash key "\". I don't know exactly where it is on the stock keyboard, but on swype it is located under the "D" key when the keyboard has the shift key pressed and you access it by longpressing.

To get your sdcard to ext3, you just need to turn on journaling. You can do this through adb while in the recovery (because you need the partition unmounted to do this).

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
mount system
e2fsk /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot

Supposedly Android should auto-mount this as ext3 on boot (which you can check with the first command). At that point, I don't think it will matter what a2sd shows. As the writing of the journal (the big thing with ext3, since it helps minimize write errors on a bad shutdown) is done at the OS level, not the a2sd level.

5). Root using GingerBreak.

I have my phone synchronized, start the deployment and after sometime I get an error saying that my phone is locked or zune is closed. BUT, the app has been installed, it can be found at the app list. The problem is that some apps don't start after that and the ones that start are slow and buggy.

I also cannot run WPDM I suppose due to the same reason, either fails to launch touch experience or if I manually launch it there is no connection.
