Looking on how to replace my live wall papers. Somewhere I lost the option of installing live wall paper. Never messed with my OS. Still have the original ROM. It is not in the Menu and wallpaper. There is only 1 wallpaper in the setting but no live wall paper. I even downloaded more live wall papers but no luck on installing them. It forces a closed message. I am missing something.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbeez:
I have my shiny new nexus S4g and I'm trying to figure out if its possible to either have gtalk interface with an video conferencing unit, or if there is an app available to do this.

I want to talk to a codian mcu 4501 unit at my work. I know it supports H.261 H.263 H.263+ H.263 interlaced and H.264

I downloaded the clearsea client because it stated that it supports tandberg, but it looks like you need to login with an account on their server as soon as you launch the app, they have demo accounts but when I click to purchase they want to sell a 6 "port" block at almost 7000 euros! hahahah gtfo I don't need that at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
Try oovoo from market. They have support for pc chat n conferencing.

GTalk doesnt allow u to do conference(i might be wrong though). Also skype n yahoo are useless at this point as there is no video support available yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
I was just thinking everyone is bummed about not having a full working cwm to do a full restore. But when u screw up its Odin to the call. right? I just don't see why we need full CWM when we can use Odin if we mess up. As far as getting things back to normal (setting,icons,wallpapers,etc.) U can use advanced restore to put everything back the way it was before the flash but still keep the effects of new kernels and roms. So i ask this why all the fuss? Also maybe someone could elaborate on the mount issue. Is it only when you try to do a full restore Or flash certain Roms? Oh yea and this is a noob asking.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
It's mostly a question of convenience. If we get a fully functioning cwm it can be directly booted in to replacing the stock recovery. More importantly it can be incorporated into Rom Manager which makes lots of things easier and more standardized. Things like flashing roms and kernels or restoring backups and making fixes would be much easier and all right there in rom manager/cwm.

As far as Odin/heimdal goes yes that works for installing roms, restoring from soft bricks, etc. but is no substitute for a nandroid backup/restore which is great for reverting to a former configurations fully and easily after trying out new roms, kernels, etc.

There are other reasons it would be great to have a finished cwm but what we have now is not that bad since it can do most of the important things we need.

I am still interested in what I hear that people are restoring full nandroid backups successfully. The official word is that its not unmounting properly during format function in a restore, at least that's what I understand. If full restore is actually working as some are claiming then I'm not sure what is actually left undone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
So basically it would take the need for a PC out. Plus make restoring full backup possible (also tried full restore and got mounting error). Thanks for the info. So is it do to lack of devolopment and devs that r device is not so popular or the mounting issue. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Damn you got the mounting error....i thought that worked...wtf
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Why am I testing post that your alter to do a full restore...pretty misleading
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Just curious..... Have u tried the full restore yet on CWM? If so what where your results??? I have to admit i finally have my 4g running and set up just how i want it and im a little nervous to try it out(i have done a couple advanced restores) for fear me and my old friend odin might end up getting back together a little sooner than i had planned!:-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Well wait maybe I'm confused..advanced restores are not nandroid restore?...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Advanced restore lets you restore just not full restore. It gives you the option to restore system,data,ect one at a time. However I have not tried to restore system just data. Like I said before couldn't full restore due to mounting issue. Also I think nandroid backup is just another term for a full backup of basicly the exact state of the phone at the time back up is done. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
Ah so it sounds like there is still a mounting related error after all. And yes you got it about right. A full nandroid restore basically brings your phone back to 100% exactly the state it was in when you backed it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Totally clear on that considering I've been in this since the g1 with RAs recovery..that guy was so hardcore with yhe recovery....so what does the state of the phone look like after you do a restore?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
You hit the nail on the head....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Djveneko:
So wait nandroid backup and restore doesnt work for some people?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Djveneko:
So wait nandroid backup and restore doesnt work for some people and for some it does?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Let's clear up the confusion...

As I posted on the Wiki, I have successfully done a Nandroid backup and a Nandroid restore... In both cases the "system" was identified as being backed up (or restored).

I have repeated this several times, the most recent being this morning. But, in an effort to not dispute krylon360, I've posted a targeted question to him in his thread announcing CWM3.0.2.8Beta.

I am hopeful of his response! :cool:

restore definitely works on cwm.... u all r kinda being wild... there are already threads on this... look at the development thread for clockworkmod... comparing odin to cwm psshhh
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Nothing wrong with odin. Nothing wrong with cwm. I have been backing up and restoring with cwm for a while now. Still don't know if it's a true "nandroid" backup but it restores everything but my lock screen wallpaper. Everytime without fail. So good that I have not had to use odin or titanium. I'm even sure I could odin at this point and get all of it back through cwm. Follow the steps for setting it up you should be fine. I'm running whites KD1 and have been since it came out.(**** I might have to Odin now just to check it out) How do you use Odin again?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
I want to put CM7 on my nook color. I am VERY confused by everything that is out there because I did the same with my G Tab in a very straightforward manner. I didn't root my G Tab because as it was explained ClockWorkMod (CWM) did the rooting for me. I think that a lot of my confusion is due to the fact that people here are creating bootable SD cards, and I really don't want to do that at this point.

Basically, all I did with my G Tab was to install CWM and copy the ROM file over via USB and installed it with CWM. And that's it. I had CM7 up and running. I did no rooting beforehand - CWM took care of all of this. I did no flashing or writing of image files.

People here are mentioning ROM manager apps, and rooting and downloading apps from the market for this, and all sorts of things. No apps were involved when I installed CM7 in the G Tab. And I could use CWM to select ROMS if I had more than one.

So, basically CWM did all the work. Is there such a simple procedure for the nook color? Where can I get clockworkmod for the nook?

Thanks in advance.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
Thanks for the link. But this still involves playing around with bootable SD cards, and if I do that, I might as well install CM7 to a bootable SD card.

Is there no way to avoid SD cards?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brucemcl:
I looked into this when I installed CM7 on my NC. I think the answer, basically, is no. You can pick up the latest clockwork recovery from the official site here:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

You may be able to install it with ADB, or maybe you could install ROM manager on the rooted stock Android OS and go from there.

I just decided to go with the flow: make a bootable CM7 SD card, install CM7 on internal memory with ROM Manager, remove card, reboot, install CWM Recovery on internal memory with ROM Manager, reformat SD card using my phone.

That is just enabling HSUPA, which many ROMs do.

Upon further review... it looks like the OP of that thread got some positive results tweaking those settings in build.prop

However others got mixed results.

I tested it out quickly and got a slight improvement in download speed but slight decrease in upload speed. I will try it again in a different area this evening, though, because I am testing it in a building with a metal roof and spotty coverage...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexige:
I've played around with this the last few months. I've had mixed results. Sometimes it seemed like it got me an increase sometimes not so much. I'm in a rural area and as such I have never seen 5Mbps down. I have seen as high as 4.30 Mbps once in a blue moon mostly after midnight. Its certainly a plausible idea but I cannot say with definite certainty that this will give a speed increase.

I'm on the border of Dallas/Richardson and I get terrible speeds on my Cap. At home I get around 200KBPS if I am lucky. On Monday I was in Frisco with a friend who has an HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon, his 3G speeds were 7000KBPS down while his 4G was 1.7MBPS down. In Frisco I did receive 400KBPS down - wonderful right?

I just tested again at work here in Richardson and out of three test I had network failures. The one test that worked was 67kbps down. This is using HSDPA and a signal strength of -75 dBm 19 asu.

I'm using the newest version of Cognition on my phone. Calls have good clarity and when I am using wifi I get 1.5MBPS down. I don't know why my data service is so bad.

[Venue Pro General] Kenji117:
I bought my Venue pro last week and got it on Wednesday. On Friday, I saw a deal on Venue Pro's for 3months live time, 3 months of zune pass, and 8000 live points for free when you buy a DVP. I have been trying since that day to get Dell to give me that free package and save me the hassle of having to return and buy the phone again. Finally today I have spent 3 and a half hours on the phone , still on the phone, with Dell Support and their only solution is to return and repurchase. This already seems stupid because it should just be a simple transaction on the computer stating i want to return and use the credit to buy the same phone. I do it all the time at work. However, Dell Support is saying it cant be done and that I have to do it there way which takes 15-30 business days to process the phone after it has been received at which point I may or may not receive the package depending on if its still available. This seems completely retarded to me seeing at 15-30 business days translates to 3-6 weeks by which time I'm pretty sure the deal will be gone.

So, to all the people who have a venue pro which falls under the return policy still I ask that you call Dell demand that you be given this package with out this nonsense that they are saying to go through. The package is definitely worth imo its got a regular value of about $160. By the amount of posts about issues with the DVP I think we deserve this package, all of us not just those within the return policy, for having still bought the DVP or having stuck with it.

Also, any help would be appreciated in regards with who to talk to at dell that you may know or what department may be of better help.

Currently I have been told that my call would always be transferred to Dell Mobility even though they only handle technical issues. I have spoken with the supervisor, Robert, he has told me he will send out emails and see if anybody knows another way to do it. ( Don't know if he will really send out an email though) The number for Mobility support is 1-800-308-3355. You might as well ask for Robert right off the bat since the people who work in that call center continuously defer to him when asked this question. (I know because I was transferred there about 3 times and also transferred to other departments before speak to him myself).

I would suggest expressing how disappointing it is that dell requires that and that you cant believe that somebody would require that much just so you can get a code from a offer which may not even be around anymore because it takes 3-6 weeks to process a phone once they receive it.

Post how it works out for you if you do decide to do this and I will also continually update this.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
You are seeing another facet of the atrocious experience of owning the dell venue pro. Do yourself a favour and return it now for a refund, in a few months time far better devices will be available which will allow you to actually enjoy what you've bought. Continuing to give dell sales of this POS is what is giving them the balls to continue to sell faulty devices.

I actually like the phone a lot just wish somebody besides Dell had made it. It could still be alright if Microsoft takes control and tells Dell to fix this ****.

[Venue Pro General] rsohne:
I can not seem to find a single tech person at Dell to reset my contract with AT&T. I urge all of you to not do business with such a crappy company. Spend your hard earned dollars with a company that deserves it. One thing is for sure if the Venue Pro breaks good luck on getting it replaced.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
i just spent 15 minutes on the phone with a Dell Mobility technician who quickly arranged to send me a replacement DVP because some debris/dust got behind the camera lens. no problem at all.
[Venue Pro General] Kenji117:
I have had 2 replacements so far and been sent a SD card. I was instructed to switch out the sd card even after mentioning that it would void the warranty. I later called back because i was still having issues and was told that it was impossible to switch the sd cards when i told the guy how i did it he was confused and surprised.

Having he call center in India and removing the one in texas was a terrible move by dell. I wouldnt call them technicians they have no idea what they are doing. I have had to spends upwards of an hour to get simple things done; like getting a replacement device. The more times you have to call for a replacement the longer it seems to take for them to process it and it isn't because they are reading the notes from previous calls because I have had to explain my situation several times each time I call.

@bbowman

Your call was something that is easy enough to not have to see and just say w/e here's a new device. I am waiting on a replacement device I ordered 2 weeks ago that is supposedly coming sometime this week. When I called to have changes made to the dispatch the guy said he couldn't make changes or take it down until this week, a bit stupid since I am supposed to get the device this week. I tried telling him that the device will have shipped most likely before I call but he didn't seem to understand. Dell's Mobility Support team doesn't use DVP's and I would go so far as to wager that they haven't even seen one.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
I agree that Dell's customer support is no good, in specific, their call centers. However, after reaching out on Twitter I have just had two replacement devices sent out for my two DVPs and a direct e-mail address to someone within Dell's social outreach program.

I, like most of you, have been really frustrated with Dell and how it has "launched" the Venue Pro. I think many at Dell are aware of how big of a stinker it is - there was a reason Dell Mobility closed as a business entity and their president quit his job. The DVP is a beautifully designed device with excellent hardware (4 inch AMOLED screen, iphone 4 camera sensor, excellent keyboard) that has been marred by outsourced programming, development, QA and customer support. Anyone who has seen the code of the EM app or had to call for help can testify to this. It's a really sad story and if I was a journalist I'd be trying to write a huge expose on Dell and this super phone that died a slow death at the hands of poor management and outsourcing.

As big of a company as Dell is, there are still support people that want to help you and will do whatever they can to make you happy. In my case it was two brand new retail phones. All you really need to do is be polite and patient with your tweets. Try @DellCares or @AmyatDell as they have both helped me. Don't bother with calling in anymore, we all know that is a waste of time. The future of customer support is one on one interactions through mediums like Twitter and Facebook.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:

[Venue Pro General] wau808:
Bought a second hand DVP and had some screen issues, washed out colors and blacking out, so i figured i'd give customer care a shot. While it was frustrating for many of the reasons the OP has already identified, by then end of the conversation i had a new one being shipped to my house. I was also a little curious when the CSR told me to take out the microsd, but I had him document it in the file that he had told me to do so.

Overall, I wasn't too disappointed with the customer service, but i will hold my tongue until the replacement comes in.
