[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakebear:
My rooted G2 running Cyanogen 6.1.1 overclocked via Setcpu on demand recently turned itself off. When I pulled the battery and rebooted I got a blank screen with vertical lines slowly appearing. Hours later i got a blank white screen. Now its completely blank with the backlight lit. I get haptic feedback when unlocking, grabbing icons and using the menu keys and the volume rocker beeps or vibrates the phone. I can't seem to open Pandora or my music app (I know where they are on my home screen). My sim card fried and I'm afraid to put the new one in this phone to see if calls and notification still come in. ADB is responsive and commands work. It will boot into recovery, etc. but the screen is still blank. I tried doing a Nandroid back up using my new G2 as a reference guide to navigate the recovery but that didn't do anything. I will likely try to flash a fresh rom next. Is this a software issue or hardware? I had to buy a new G2 as I'm not on a plan and bought this one used and would like to recover my cost by fixing the old. Any input or help is much appreciated.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CraigP17:
so, like the Playbook has the bridge software to sync stuff between your BB and your Playbook...

what would be the easiest way to sync all of my media on my HTC Inspire, to my Flyer?

i always have both on me, but i dont want to copy everything on my phone to my flyer.

thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Dropbox fills that gap for me. It's not real-time sync, but allows me to download files for viewing. Good for music storage.

Never came up with a workflow to upload revised files from an Android device, but I guess it's time to figure one out. Can't remember if the dropbox client allows uploading... Ok, just tried and it does.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] atm0sphere:
i agree and would use it.. anybody here a developer and know if its possible?

it would be a lot easier texting from the flyer, at the least
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spaceshippen:
There's an application on the market that uses drop box to sync text so you can text from the flyer. It's called "sync sms". It works really well and the developer looks to be planning on improving it even more.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CraigP17:
I don't wish to use my computer. I tried and I would have to one by one upload the hundreds of pics and songs from my phone to dropbox. If I'm going to do all that I might as well copy everything on my phone SD card to another card and put in the flyer.

How about DLNA? Recommended app that would allow me to utilize that between devices?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Stuke00:
Might be able to thru connected media if you were both on the same wifi network and your phone supported it.

I'm trying to unroot an Atrix that was rooted with SuperOneClick 1.6.5, which was all that was out back then, and recommended as the bets.

I've tried SOC 1.6.5 and the newest 1.9.1 version, clicked on UNROOT and it isn't unrooting.

SOC 1.6.5 fails after saying:

SuperOneClick v1.6.5.0

-------------------------------------------

And after waiting patiently, eventually I have to kill that. The phone is normally in debug mode, I've tried disabling that mode too. No joy. Restarted the phone, no joy. It's still rooted. I've uninstalled the AVG antivirus (yes, paranoid) and retried. No joy.

I've seen another post suggesting Root Explorer, which I don't have, but I don't see all the files referenced from that thread either. And I have no idea what adb is besides an old Mac serial bus.

Can someone be generous enough to use little words, give me a simple way to just unroot the phone? Or point me to where there's a simple explanation of how to make SOC unroot itself? (I've looked, really!)
[Android Apps and Games] knightnz:
Uninstall the SuperUser apk.
[Android Apps and Games] Rred:
knightz, I'm from a different planet so sometimes the obvious is all new territory for me:

Where's the SU apk? Uninstall it by....Deleting it? Clicking an uninstall button somewhere?

If you mean...Go to "Manage Applications", select SuperUser, then pick uninstall...Both the "Force stop" and the "uninstall" button are grayed out and can't be selected here. So that won't work, at least not here.

(On the bright side, if I was a *nix programmer, someone else would be out of a job, there's only so many to go around.<G>)

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] BamaNZ:
My favorite accessory for my samsung fascinate was the spare battery with its own dedicated charger. It could charge in the house or in the car due to its micro usb input for power. I often left this in my vehicle and just swapped batteries out there.

Ive scoured the internet and have failed to find one for the thunderbolt as they all seem to require an AC charger. Have any of you found one got the thunderbolt? Now I have 7 oem thunderbolt batteries and need a way to charge them. Especially since I'm headed to Bonnaroo....
[Thunderbolt Accessories] viceversa:
going to bonnaroo with 7 batteries. haha thats great man but nah I have not seen anything like that. I snagged one of those el cheapo china wall battery charger with built in USB port (for charging another device) and that works great. But seriously if you have 7 batteries i dont see the need for a charger you speak of, sounds cool though.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanjo:
Hi all,

I've got an unbranded Galaxy S i9000 handset which has the stock Froyo VNZ (Vodafone New Zealand) firmware on it, would using the Kies registry spoof to XEU work fine for this to get Gingerbread?

Also, if I run a factory restore on it after upgrading the firmware will it revert back to Froyo or stay on Gingerbread?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fallen04:
Not sure if the registry hack will work.

I use odin to flash gingerbread, have a read of the guide:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/

After you have installed gingerbread, doing a factory reset will not revert back to froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanjo:
Ah OK, so does that mean any of the Gingerbread firmwares will work? (e.g. other region's firmwares from Kies in addition to the ones like you linked to) I've read about people spoofing their region code and using the Kies supplied firmwares but am not really sure if any faked region will work on my phone's region.

What's the best way to go back to the stock firmware if something goes wrong?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fallen04:
A good guide to read, to get a idea on how to install/flash using Odin. Its really important that you can get into Download Mode and recovery mode, download mode is needed to use Odin.

You could wait for Gingerbread to be released by VFNZ via Kies, no idea when that might be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcespon:
If you have a Galaxy S i9000 you can flash the JVK, JVB or JVO firmwares. The differences are mainly the included apps (daily info yes/no, some country-specific app, and swype languages), and the carrier configurations on the CSC.

You can always create the APN manually if you know the values for your carrier. I'm using JVO with XEU code right now, APN created manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanjo:
Thanks for the replies guys, ended up downloading the JVO (XEU) firmware using Fus Downloader and flashed using Odin, works perfectly!

So I purchased an HD2 from someone and it already has android ported to it. I dont like the ROM that is currently on it and i'm wantign to change it to the Desire HD ROM but I'm sorta stuck.:(

What steps do I have to do in order to do this? Do I have to remove the current ROM and install the new one? Can I just install the new one on the SD card and *BAM* thats it? do i have to clean the traces of the old ROM?:confused:

I have a million questions basically. Can SOMEBODY give me step by step instructions of how to do this or give me a link on how to do this? :eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hamsn:
To make a build work from the SD card, you need to have Windows Mobile OS.

If you want Android working from Nand, just boot into MAGLDR, hardreset your NAND memory, this will wipe the NAND;

Then enter USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR and either you can flash a new ROM or flash CWM Recovery - a tool from which you can install zipped ROM files from your SD.

Basically, chose the ROM you like to install on your device, and follow the steps provided there, those steps will be sufficient to wipe the previous ROM and install the new one.

I wish that there was another webiste other than XDA that was interested in HELPING PEOPLE. Rather than just putting them down. The "senior members" need to take a look at themselves and come off their high and mighty cloud and actuall take the time to help the ones that need it. :mad:

Start by going to the windows mobile 6.5 dev thread and in the sticky you will find the task29 without mtty thread, get it. Check what radio you're running and if you don't have the 2.15.50, get it from the same sticky. Now come to android nand dev and find the latest MGLDR and get that too, find a rom you would like to use, find the partition size for such rom and get it.

Now start by task29.

Flash 2.15.50 radio if you don't have it.(if you do skip it)

Flash MGLDR- Either thru DAF or RUU.

Flash Clockworkmod recovery with needed partition.

Copy all your SD card content to pc and within clockworkmod advanced settings, format SD card to 1024mb with 0 swap.

Drop into the SD card the rom zip only and flash it, once done you can transfer the rest of your stuff back to the SD card from pc.

I hope this can help you a bit with your learning of android flashing in the hd2

[HTC Inspire 4G] orangeschoolbus:
I've had several HTC phones and I really don't see the appeal of Sense. Disable Sense, either with script, new launcher, or new rom is literally the first thing I do when I get a new HTC phone. Yet I see a steady request from people to make more Sense ROMs or add Sense features to nonSense ROMs. I know it's blasphemy around here, but I actually like TouchWiz and the iPhone UI. So I ask:

What is it about Sense that you find attractive?

EDIT: I want to add that I'm not trying to "troll" or be confrontational or contrary, more wondering if there is something about Sense that I'm missing or possibly haven't taken advantage of. Obviously HTC is doing really well right now and I'm sure that their Sense UI plays a role in that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
MHO, im in the same boat you are sir, the only thing I do like is the social networking features built in, although now, i use launcherpro, so i am just waiting till i can root, then its CM time!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Yodas Caulk:
Its simple and very user friendly. The UI is very eye appealing to me. Its really all personal choice. I always find myself enjoying things built into sense roms like the ringtone trimmer is pretty stellar!

Sense 4+ and Sense 5 are awesome implementations to HTCs new devices, I got my HTC One in the mail yesterday and I have been enjoying the less intrusive side of Sense 5 but blink feed needs to go ASAP
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
I don't see anything in it, except more battery and more heavy. Deleting it is the first thing I do in any ROM. Well, the ROMs I use now don't have Sense bundled :D

Edit: I have been using ZEAM launcher for months now... both on Captivate and Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
I hate how it reaches to every aspect of the phone. I never liked TouchWiz, but at least TouchWiz was pretty much just a launcher. I really don't like anything besides AOSP, though.

I like the themeing, but I hate Sense itself. That's why I'm using CM7 themed like Sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt7s:
I don't like Sense either. I find that it normally slows my phone down dramatically and drains the battery. I rarely used anything in Sense, so I have also always disabled it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] moonmanxo:
I'm in the middle.. I enjoy sense because it is pretty much one thing EYE-CANDY. Its awesome to see and show off as well as some of the features built in especially friendstream and the weather. I love AOSP as well, reason I have widgetlocker and a few other apps to bring me my AOSP goodness. Sense roms dont really drain battery.. I get amazing life on Kingdom Sense 3.0 and Honey Sense HD 1.5.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
This is gonna be a stupid reason, but the clock/weather widget.

I also think that it's the #1 replicated part of Sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I like it as it looks sweet. It also hooks me into my entire social world. When I have a sense rom running anyone and everyone can hit me up, Facebook friends, google friends, tweet friends. Everything shows me as logged in and ready to communicate.

That said I am running Gingerbeast ASOP, with Go Launcher EX and Widget locker right now and loving the Battery Life. while still looking amazing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dbrayton1:
I'm on the fence on Sense, seem to flash back and forth between AOSP roms and sense roms like clockwork. I can say that my preference is stock Gingerbread with Launcher Pro widgets.

Here are some of the Sense pros:

-The lock screen on Sense 3.0 is almost enough to keep me using sense.

-I also like the better integration with Facebook and LinkedIn in my contacts.

-It's near impossible and expensive to re-create all of the HTC Widgets in a non-sense rom. The closest alternative is Launcher Pro, paid version to get the extra widgets, plus Beautiful widgets for the home screen clock. You can find comperable widgets, but if your a design purist, it's hard to get all of them looking consistant

- You can actually get decent battery with the right custom roms. I run TBFusion with the Lee kernel, undervolt, setcpu, and it's good for a full day.

Dislikes:

-Dialer - very old-school number search approach I have never liked. It was designed for when phones had only numberpads to allow you to find contacts quickly. Basically the deal-breaker for me on Sense.

-Keyboard layout; hide key is too close to space and shift, plus very cluttered (easily fixed by installing another keyboard)

-Not a fan of the way they implemented quick settings in the notifications. Having to slide down, then tab between notifications and settings is an extra step. Seems silly, but gets annoying if you've ever used CM7 or something like that.

I really like the simplicity, speed, and battery performance of pure AOSP Gingerbread. I'm running Gingerbeast at the moment. Very smooth.

IMO - if you like iPhone and touchjizz, try MIUI:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] willwalk93:
IMHO, Sense is a very cool thing. I love Sense ROMs and wish that Sense was open source so that many of its features could be added to CM7 or vice versa. For me, the cons list is short so I'll start there.

---CONS---

-Battery life is reduced

-System is slightly slowed

-RAM is hogged by Rosie, Sense, and Sense apps

+++PROS+++

+The keyboard is very good IMO

+The UI is clean and appealing

++Menus are colorful and therefore easier to navigate IMO

++Organization and useability of things such as the Customizations menu is superior to Android Stock

+The widgets are all built in and are very functional (Mail, News, Settings, Stocks)

+Many HTC apps are superior IMO to the stock Google apps.

+Seven home screens as opposed to 5 for stock. (However, I know CM7 and many others can add screens, I like the layout of Sense better as you do not have to choose whether home key goes to default screen or overview as you do in CM7. Sense home key toggles between the two)

Yes, I realize many will argue that the genie widget is great for news, but HTC's News widget (Google RSS reader) is the most visually appealing and easiest to use of all news widgets I have tried.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I do have to give HTC props on their implementation of Select/Copy/Paste, it is much better than AOSP - the magnifying glass method is definitely better than the stupid little marker method.

[Thunderbolt General] ataranine:
I don't see the appeal.

Put your music on your memory card, no buffering..drain battery while listening to it.

Put music in the "cloud", drain battery even faster because you're constantly downloading your music from the "cloud"..and waiting for it to buffer.

That's just me though..

[Thunderbolt General] ataranine:
20k? Really? REALLY? No need man, no need.

Perhaps you need an iPod Classic.
[Thunderbolt General] feedhead:
Yes Really! ... and why would I want to carry around another device when I have access to over what is almost 150 gigs of music?
[Thunderbolt General] astefanik:
20,000 songs might be a big overkill, but so are alot of other things coming out. do we need quad-core processors inside mobile phones, no but its always fun just to have that option. And thats mainly the appeal for me its presents another option for me, and more options and competitions is always better, whether its deemed the most practical thing available right now or not
[Thunderbolt General] cstrife999:
You also don't have much music then. I got over 100GB and can't fit it on my phone. Doubt buffering will be even noticeable.
