[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
I hate MotoBlur. I love my Inspire ...so I'm obviously bias. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
For me the atrix is just too damned slow, laggy. I have played with more than 5 brand new ones now and they are all the same. Such a shame to, I was dead set on getting one, even without the ability to flash new kernels. But I cannot live with a phone that stu stu studders so bad. In fact I just went and bought another new inspire today for the mrs and played around with the new phones again. The infuse is much more appealing to me than the atix, even with that big ass screen its snappier. So sad moto, you had such a bad ass blueprint with that ***** and it turned into an abortion. They are getting returned left and right by unhappy customers. Oh well, when the gs2 comes out I just hope that ***** is as bad as I think it is.

oh and on an unrelated note. Played with an old favorite the captivate today. Holy Christ that thing is slow in stock form. That phone is an example of just how bad ass the xda devs are.
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
I am biased as well, but here goes. The development in the inspire is amazing. You can run the new sense 3.0, cm7, miui, and a plethora of sense based roms. This phone will continue to receive development which will give us unofficial official updates far after htc discontinues support, which I assume will be quite a while away anyway, and the atrix will reach end of life far sooner. The locked encrypted bootloader means no kernels, and as of now no real roms. For me this is a huge dealbreaker. Also my inspire running overclocked miui kills the stock atrix, and in my opinion the screen quality on the inspire is far superior. Just know if you choose the atrix you will be at the mercy of moto for updates and software development, and after my experience with the captivate and official updates from samsung, I would never want wait for updates from the manufacturer.

I bought a small micro - usb female adapter. When I plug it in, no matter what device i use it seems as those the xoom is not sending any power through it.

Ive tried

Camera

Charge Phone

usb mouse

usb wireless mouse

nothing is getting power.

Is there something i need to enable or do? Or has anyone esle has this issue? I am on 3.1....
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuckFinn:
You can not use a simple micro usb adapter cable, it has to be an OTG USB Host cable like the official Motorola camera connection kit that is now available. This is a bit expensive but readily available at your local Best Buy.

Take a look at some of the many posts on OTG cables and you can find info on cheaper cables that have been verified to work or on how to make your own.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jase33:
you need a USB Host cable. Not just a regular sync cable. You can google for one or search the threads here where others have linked to confirmed working cables.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techsniffer:
I have a question that applies here, I am on stock 3.1 Xoom WiFi/3G and just got my OTG cable, plug it in usb drive blinks like its working but where is it located on the Xoom? I've been looking around for it with Astro and File Explorer and I'm unable to find it... could someone tell me the path?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerp_:
i believe stock 3.1 only supports MTP, hence no USB mass storage.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techsniffer:
I've heard many conflicting stories, I would like some sort of confirmation rather then speculation about what will/will not work with the Moto Xoom (Stock 3.1) Wifi/3g and an OTG cable because I've seen posts saying yes and no to USB, portable HD's etc etc. Can anyone even provide me with some informative links? Everything I've searched for has been less than informative.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
So, stock 3.1 Xoom is an MTP device, that is true.

However, with latest series of Tiamat custom kernels by Bigrushdog (see Android Development section) the usbOTG has been enabled. If you have already rooted and installed the proper bootloader/Tiamat kernel, then in File Expert you will find the usbOTG folder on the root directory, same level as internal sdcard and data folders. If you go up a step in sdcard, you should see your external sdcard. Is this clear?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techsniffer:
I have rooted, using the Tiamat 1.6, I have access to the sdcard now but I am still unable to access my usb drive (thumb drive). I have an OTG usb cable and when I go into the /OTGusb its empty. The drive blinks as if its initializing but then nothing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techsniffer:
On a side note, I have looked through both OTGusb folders, restarted the Xoom with the OTG and usb plugged in as suggested in another post and nothing I've tried has worked in locating the usb drive.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprungjc:
I've found that there are two factors which may be in play here...

1. When I connect a flash drive it takes a bit of time for the directory structure to parse... It does show up in the OTGusb directory.

2. I've found that anything larger than 8GB (I've seen it stated in the forums as well) does not work (of if it does it takes forever and a day to become available)

Hope it helps...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T33H00:
I have same problem here. whenever I try to connect the USB with Motorola connector, it doesn't appear anything in otgusb
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OracleBlue:
I'm not sure I am going to get what I want at this time with the OTG cable. My goal is to be able to use the OTG cable to connect a USB thumb drive to so I can carry additional movies, documents, etc without completely consuming the main Xoom storage.

Can the OTGusb cable support this? Do I need to wait for yet another update?

TIA

Anyone have a .zip file to enable that to any 2.3 Rom please need help????!!!

Thanks!!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It isnt something you can just flash. Its built into 2.3. If your rom doesnt have it, then maybe its not 2.3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornell:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Then you should post this in the thread for that rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornell:
I also did that just thought someone had a universal 2.3 zip I would really appreciate the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Again, there is no flashable "universal" zip for that effect. It's built into every gingerbread rom. If your rom doesnt have it, then the dev took it out for some reason, and only he can put it back for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
The sense gingerbread roms don't have it because it didn't come with the leaked 2.3

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a universal flashable zip. So unless you want to go with a CM or AOSP rom, you're basically out of luck for the moment.

To Clarify: it is most definitely not in every gingerbread rom by default.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dengxia:
I'm using an Android client which has HTTPS connection to the server and I would like to reverse engineer the protocol, i.e. to see what data is sent (and how) between my phone and the server.

I was thinking of rooting the phone and then somehow capturing the data before it is encrypted, or alternatively, capturing the network traffic and using wireshark with the client's key (sort of friendly man-in-the-middle attack).

Any ideas if this can be done?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jnex26:
Good luck, you best bet it to backwards engineer the client.

HTTPS is a difficult protocal to sniff if it's using valid uncomprimised certs

any help would be great

probably alot judging by your reply :)..

u understand what i mean as in how annoying it is thou :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
This phones seems to switch back and forth but other android phones just stay on H constantly. Nothing you can do about it I don't think.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyydrr:
To be honest, the "lag" that you're experiencing is likely more the phone waiting for the response from the server you're requesting data from rather than the phone switching from 3G to H. It can swap from 3G to H seamlessly without interfering with your data stream (hooray for packet management!). Keep in mind, there's a lot that goes on in transferring a data request from a phone (or even a computer for that matter) through the actual internet infrastructure to get the data back to you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
My device stays on h+ until my download is done. I have a perfect signal in my area. Does yours not switch automatically when using data?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodey:
no it does swithc fine..

example.

i go on something that is requesting network data. so i click on the internet and search for watever.. when i click go the upload arrow in 3g flicks for a second and then switches to H and then does both arrows.. then webpage loads once completed switches bk to 3g again. i search for something else and it goes on.

I want to leave it on H.

because if u go on a webby and then before it finsohes loading and u click something else to go their it instanty loads the request because it was still on H...

you see what i mean. :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
I am puzzled why it takes my Vibrant so long to find coverage when I travel? When I was a blackberry user, my plane would land and the phone would boot up and find a gsm provider in around 10 seconds. Didn't matter what country I landed in. With my vibrant, I push the phone off airplane mode when we land, and I'm lucky if it finds coverage before we get to the terminal. Using the same tmo sim. It doesn't seem to matter what rom I use. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Try out other modems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't think it's a modem thing, as in the past year I've had the same result with four different roms, all of which had different modems. It's also a bit tough to test, as I would have to get on an airplane and fly to another country to test each modem. Sitting in my house, if I flip on airplane mode and flip it off, it connects immediately, as it should.

It seems that the issue is in how android decides what carrier to connect to. It just takes a long time. Much longer than other types of smart phones (based on informal observation). It certainly takes a lot longer than any phone I've every had, but admittedly none of those were 3G.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
You can try to change network settings to manual instead of automatic and pick T-Mobile or whatever as the default carrier. Helps a lot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
I suppose, but I guess what I'm really asking is why should I have to? Other platforms settle on a network much faster. It is is unlikely that I am the first to notice this, but I can't even think of what terms I should search for....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Other platforms that use one modem for example that is really stable do so by giving up performance. In the Vibrant world we have more to choose from. I personally never have a problem connecting anywhere I travel (which is a lot)

I use KB5 modem............ but then that is just me ................

Hi everyone.

I have a samsung galaxy s and was planing on selling it and buying a galaxy tab.

But before i sell i thought id see if there would be any interest in a swap as they are both around the same price new.

Would need to be the 3g model.

The phones in cracking nick only a few months old.

I stay in central scotland.

I also had a galaxy s before. I don't regret the swap because now I can enjoy browsing the web, reading books and comics and playing games on a 7" screen, it's more comfortable. And battery life last longer. And with gingerbread now browsing the web is even more comfortable.

What shall I do next after that.

What do you recomand to do to get better performance and more? What are best apps and tricks for rooted phone?

thanks for advices
[Android Software Development] Blameme:
After root and s-off, I would flash a custom rom. Try cyanogenmod 7,I like it. You can also try doing bootanimations, and flashing themes. Cyanogenmod has crapware uninstalled so you won't have to worry about that. Also, you can download Setcpu, adfree, and free tethering.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] myshu:
This has been tested on I9000BUJV9 and it's working

You'll need the following :

- Heimdall

https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip

for it to work you need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 , link in the program README

- fuguroot kernel for Heimdal

http://fugumod.org/zImage-root

- zImage from your desired firmware (extract the zImage file from the PDA.tar or the onefile firmware .tar using 7zip)

You'll need to do the following :

1. backup your files just in case , or if you're not on a clean firmware and wish to do so

2. turn your phone off and remove the battery for a few seconds

3. put the battery in and start the phone in download mode

4. connect the phone to the PC and start zadig.exe from Heimdall folder

- select options -> list all devices

- select samsung usb composite device

- select install driver and wait (select install driver anyway if warning appears)

5. exit zadig.exe and start heimdall-frontend.exe

6. browse from the kernel category and select the fuguroot kernel for Heimdall

-> the zImage-root you've downloaded previously

7. click start and wait for it to be done

DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE AFTER IT'S DONE

8. right after the flashing is done you'll see the fugu bootlogo ( red fish ) and then the phone turns itself off and starts charging

AS SOON AS YOU SEE THE CHARGING BATTERY , REMOVE THE PHONE'S BATTERY AND CABLE

9. after a few seconds put the battery back in and start the phone in download mode again

10. connect the phone back to the pc and now browse from the KERNEL category to your stock zImage you've extracted from the stock firmware

11. select start again and as it completes you MAY REMOVE THE CABLE

The phone starts , and voila , superuser is there and also the phone is rooted

You may also perform a hard/factory reset as the root and superuser will still be present.

thanks to Heimdall readme file

thanks to nikademus for creating fuguroot kernel

thanks to me ^^

I stopped using fuguroot since discovering it was deleting files without being upfront about it. If the author fixed that it would be great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ahmadfarisfs:
can i use gingerbreak for JVO ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] myshu:
gingerbreak doesn't quite work , but for JVO theres this method , theres CF-ROOT
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fauxdeluxe:
Which files does it delete and why? Is it just drexe and npsmobex? These can be restored fairly easily. If removing these is integral to gaining root, then yes, it should be noted.

Apart from fscking Kies up (which is no great loss), what else does this cause issues with?

Personally, I think fuguroot is a great tool which works faultlessly for me over JVB-JVO, but I agree file deletion should be stated somewhere in the release notes. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] {Angel}:
Yes those files. Deleting them is not required for rooting which is the sole intended purpose of this kernel as per the authors description. I dont want something deleting stuff it shouldnt for no aparent reason and no disclosure. I am also uncomfortable the author has not rectified this. What else it might be doing? Catch my drift? ...otherwise this would be a very useful tool.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edude03:
Not to be a douche but since when was fuguroot not a custom kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
Yeah this is a custom kernel, as it involves flashing a Z-Image, which is kind of misleading...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fauxdeluxe:
I was also thinking this. To defend the OP though, I think the point is that you can flash back to stock kernel afterwards :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] myshu:
no custom kernel as in , you don't have to stay onto a custom kernel to keep the root , once you flash back to stock kernel you can factory reset and its 100% stock but with root access :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] {Angel}:
Thats the case with pretty much every other custom kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
On every ginger rom,flash the speedmod k13 for froyo without autoreboot,install root in the recovery options and flash any kernel you want after has always worked so far.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Probably the single most informative thread I've read about this phone ever.

http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards...-issues-where-is-our-update-in-the-us-for-g2x

Look at the responses from the LG Pro guy and the Moderator. They outright confirm there's an update that fixes the issue - one guy already has it on his phone and it's stable. Then the other guy says Gingerbread build is almost done so they were going to wait to release update and bundle with Gingerbread. All in all, it's a total clusterf*ck BUT...BUT at least they are giving information. Most companies wouldn't have said anything.

Now that I know this, I am more willing to deal with any reboots/issues - let's hope we don't wait long. The post says maybe 2 weeks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] javolin13:
My local T-Mobile reps say the software update is supposed to come out end of summer...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
I wouldnt fully trust what they say on those forums. If they do roll out a fix soon, it probably wont include gingerbread. Gingerbread will probably be rolled out closer to mid summer according to my sources. I guess that LGs and Tmobiles meaning of soon doesnt mean anything. I just try to keep my mind off of this issue but but its difficult to do that when the phone freezes and reboots. LCD bleed I can handle.
