User choice, what does a user gets via custom roms ?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
A custom rom // choice of what the custom rom consists of .

Are you using the correct word A custom rom is a rom that someone has altered taken from or added to .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Well afaik the only advantage for now is that the Custom Roms are pre-rooted and with latest version update. Apart from that it might have some minor tweaks.
[Galaxy S II General] xspyda:
No custom rom has yet addressed the text reflow (or lack of) in the browser then? Do we reckon this will be addressed in a future rom?

This is kinda holding me back from ordering this phone ...
[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:
It's still cooking ;)
[Galaxy S II General] nhat2991:
What's wrong with the text reflow in the browser.

It works fine for me.
[Galaxy S II General] bluemint:
There are a few custom Rom available in the Development Area {http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1058}. I am using the Villainrom 1.1 and running very good on it. Have a read through all of them.
[Galaxy S II General] zoro25:
Text reflow works perfectly, it's just turned off by default.

It's in the browser settings, just turn it on.

It seems there are a lot if people who talk about lack of features without even trying out the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] Limpperi:
With doubletap its just fine, but just to let you know, it doesn't work when pinching.
[Galaxy S II General] xspyda:
WRONG!

Text reflow *is* there but only to an extent. Double tap usually does resize the text to the page width but only in one stage - try pinch zooming and zooming in to an extent that the text goes off the edge of the screen, then tell me that text reflow works ...

It seems there are also a few that don't do their research before attempting to shoot others down ;-p

I read in some thread that there is no need to use custom roms on SGSII it is good enough but unroot it, What exactly this Unrooting thing is ? how to do it and what does it do ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reltih:
I updated my Xoomto 3.1 right after unboxing it. Then I found that its light sensor does not work.

Setting screen brightness to auto has no effect, it just keep the same brightness regardless of ambient light. So I must set the brightness manually, it is very annoying.

I installed some sensor utilities such as AndroSensor, Light Sensor,... but they don't display any value (just "waiting for event").

Does anyone meet the same problem? Is this an error in the sensor or a bug of Android 3.1?

(My Xoom is CDMA version)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev0153:
Yeah I noticed the same thing the other day. Auto does nothing.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reltih:
Could you give more details?

Did it work before upgrading? How is it now?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev0153:
I'm not sure if it was doing it with 3.0, just noticed mine the other day.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qubz:
Same here...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I have no light sensor issue--before or since the update.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev0153:
I downloaded a sensor app and confirmed that i have no light sensor readings. I'm jusrt not sure when it happened or if it ever worked. could it be a kernel thing?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reltih:
Thank you all for your replies.

What do you mean? Does it work or not on your Xoom?

Anyway, as I see, this is not a common issue, so I returned my Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qubz:
Actually I take it back, the auto brightness is working for me
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev0153:
I didn't even notice mine wasn't working until this thread. I'm just going to go with it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev0153:
so this is weird. I upgraded to the new Tiamat kernel today and my light sensor is working again. It must be a kernel thing. I'll post a message in that thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I ordered my nexus 1 last august, is it still under warranty? Do you need your original receipt or would htc be able to figure it out based on the actual phone serial number?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthmaker:
I'm pretty sure it's 1 year, don't know how they determine it though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Estimated Prophet Hawk:
The warranty is one year and HTC will have all of your information. Just provide them with your imei #, which is located under the battery and also listed under settings>status>imei.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] JoKu:
I need some help with GV, but I don't know if the problem is with my account or another GV account. Ok here's what is going on; my friend setup a GV number and account yesterday to use for our business and it goes straight to voicemail when *I* call it. One of our other friends called it sitting right next to us and his phone rings like normal. But I have been trying since last night and it has never rang once, it only says something like "the Google Voice subscriber is unavailable. He said this morning that no one at work is having any trouble with that number either, why is it just me?

We have the EXACT same settings on the app, the EXACT same settings on the web version, he can call my GV number and it rings just fine, I have called his GV number with my GV number AND my Verizon number. Nothing works and I have tried everything! Do Not Disturb is not checked, he has no special call settings for particular numbers, groups, days or times.

It's almost like it's blocking me automatically, but everyone else has no problem. I have had GV since it came out and have never had a problem before. Can anyone please help?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] AndroidGraphix:
Try deleting your number then add it back.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] JoKu:
I can't believe what it was, the only reason I don't feel totally dumb is because it was his fault. He had 2 of the numbers switched around when he texted the phone # to me. In his defense though, he did just get the new number that day. But still, I could've killed him.

I just got my transformer and was planning to tether with my droid eris, only I have come to realize that wifi tether is ad-hoc, and unsupported by the tablet, and bluetooth tether is not possible on my little old phone. what rooted handsets are you using to tether your transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeles:
I am using a Captivate as a wifi hotspot (Mobile AP) and it works flawlessly. I use custom roms and have been allowing my wife to leach with her iPad (yuck I know) while we are on the road and such for a while. You don't have to use custom roms but it seems to me to be the best way to get the feature without ATT plan checking getting in the way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orcrist86:
I'm on Verizon, and I'm hoping for a phone that's easily rooted and flashed. I love me a good Rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TexasBadger:
Me too!

I'm in the same boat that you are. I have a rooted Droid Eris (XTRSense 5.01). It tethers easily to laptops via wifi or usb. It even tethers easily to iPads. Of course, it won't tether via wifi to my TF, or to any other Honeycomb tablet.

I have screwed around for several days trying to establish bluetooth tether. I can get the Eris and TF to pair, but not to connect. I haven't given up on this yet.

I am also trying to establish USB tether through the dock. The Eris and the TF connect okay, and the TF thinks that the Eris' SD card is a hard drive and lets me explore it. But so far, no tether. I'm still trying. :(

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orcrist86:
I've been using wifi tether 2.0.7 I think. Works great on the phone for everything else..... Has anyone tried with the moto droid. I definitely applaud badger for trying the bluetooth route. I tried it with both kaos froyo and tazzfroyo and tazz ginger with no luck. I read somewhere that the droid bluetooth stack wasn't as well developed as the hero since it had such poor sales.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
Hey Guys,

I am having "Force Close" when I try to sync my contacts with google account. I am running stock build and not even rooted. Suddenly yesterday I had a force close and I tried to wait for a day, also restarted my phone twice between yesterday and today. Then I tried to dig into the problem and realized that it was a problem with contacts syncing. If I remove check mark from contacts and sync there is no problem. But when I try to sync contacts it gets force close.

I have plenty of apps on it and also plenty of customization. I do not want to do factory reset. I had set this phone up for about 25-30 days now. No problems untill now.

Please some one help me. Oh and it is my primary google account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
Anybody?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBIGREDDx:
Somebody in this thread is saying that there is a problem with Google's sync, but I don't know if it is the same issue. Maybe try waiting it out for a day?

Also if you try a different Google Account does it have the same problem?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
I don't know about that. As I have too many contacts. and my another email is just junk. It's only for fun stuff. So I can't check synching problems with that account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gb091685:
if you are trying to sync contacts with your google.com account. google is having a global issue. I work for tmo so can confirm. no eta just keep trying.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Egypt1337:
So I tried downloading the Google Music Beta app because my friend just got his invite (i have yet to recieve mine) but my streak refused to install the app. I even uninstalled the stock app and tried but it still didn't work. Any Ideas?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 3105162:
I didnt have any problems installing the app. One thing to try is unmounting your sdcard, installing the app, then re-mounting your sdcard. I have to do that for a few apps to install successfully.

I think this thread is COMPLETELY off-topic for this forum.

It reeks of advertising your blog, and nothing else.
[Android Apps and Games] rockage:
I'm sorry if that's how you feel, I thought I was helping out the community by providing legit access to paid apps and games, which might other wise be stolen. From there people who like the apps will spread word to their friends, generating much more income in theory.
[Android Apps and Games] asicman:
Why don't hold the giveaway here on xda? Seems like you want to generate traffic to your blog and harvest email addresses. You didn't even describe how winners are selected.
[Android Apps and Games] rockage:
I only require emails to contact them if they've won. I don't use the emails for anything else.

Winners are selected at random, I posted that in the initial giveaway and forgot to put it in the second. I use random.org to generate a winner.

As for posting this on XDA, I use the blog because I don't always have apps to giveaway, so in the meantime I update it with other articles. This takes some time and energy on my part as well, corresponding with dozens of developers trying to work out some deal, so yes I do hope it generates traffic.
[Android Apps and Games] bolinao:
Your not actually giving them away,people need to win them..the title is misleading.
[Android Apps and Games] rockage:
No, the apps are being given away, there are just limited copies available so it's only fair that the winner is choosen randomly.
[Nook Color General] sinanju:
I announced this in the developer's forum, but since a lot of people don't read that and the app has been stable for about a month now with about 300 users, I figured I'd announce this here.

NC Tether is a homepage widget that will tether a Nook Color running CM7 to a mobile phone using the Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN) profile. It was written for the Nook Color, but may run on other tablets with Busybox/Bluez pand. The greatest advantage of Bluetooth PAN tethering vs WiFi is power consumption -- Bluetooth consumes far less.

The widget will require superuser access on the Nook and the mobile phone must be able to tether and already paired with the Nook -- that usually involves an Internet connection sharing application and an appropriate rate plan. Note that though almost all Android applications that require network access function correctly, some applications -- mostly Google Applications -- do not. Talk, for example, does not work nor does the Market application. The browser will complain that network access is not available and work anyway. This is because Bluetooth PAN is not properly supported in Android at this time.

Use:

1. Add the widget to your home screen.

2. Tap the widget to connect to the phone.

3. Once connected, tap again to disconnect.

An LED graphic will show yellow in the widget during connection setup. If the connection is successful, it will show green. If the connection was not successful or the connection is severed, the LED graphic will be off/gray. The first time through, superuser access will be requested and any delay granting it may cause the connection to fail. That won't be an issue on subsequent invocations, so just try again.

There is an application -- it's only function is to report the name and Bluetooth address of the paired device that will be used for tethering.

You can request support in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032834

The app can be found here: https://market.android.com/details?id=earlmagnus.nctether

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sul7:
Dear friends,

I read about rooting. It means that I as the user of the phone will get super user rights, that is I can view system files ..etc. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am about to install madmack 1.4 KE7 which will enable Arabic read/write on SGS2. Now madmack said that the ROM is rooted. This means that after flashing this ROM I will have super user rights, right?

If this is correct then will the applications that I have or that I will download from market later, will they use my permissions as a super user or they will use what permissions they have? i.e. because I have super user rights will they have the same rights?

Also, lets say I am happy with the new ROM but I don't want to be a super user. Is it possible to get the ROM and disable super user and use the phone as a 'normal' user?

Kind regards,

Sul
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blickmanic:
Yes, you will have superuser rights after rooting
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
anything that accesses super user access will need to be granted by you with a pop up from the superuser app. so its pretty hard for anything to get by you.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
I noticed the EXACT same thing.

I lost my wallet at GreatClips after I got my hair cut (it was under a towel).

I drove home and looked high & low but couldn't find it.

So I figured I left it in my Semi-Truck and called them to tell them I had to drive 20 miles and would be back to pay.

They said they found it and tried to call.

When I got there they called my phone (GV #) and I got the same recording you did.

I haven't heard of this before until now, I thought it was because I'm using version 0.3.4

Google "Google Voice issues" and it'll direct you to their help forum.
[Droid X General] ourtut:
My Dad got me the HTC evo at the beginning of the year but now me and him want data (we were flashed to pageplus but data didn't work on them). So my question is what is the best. rom, kernal, ect for the Droid x. I just want to be ready when I get the Droid x and messing arround for days trying to get the best combination or roms and kernals.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Well.

Good luck with that.

We have a locked bootloader, kid. The kernels we're provided are the kernels we get.

But as far as ROMS go...

I like Liberty. Both the froyo and gingerbread versions are great.

I haven't really played with the others...for...like 5 months.

So maybe they're holding ground too, but I wouldn't know.

Apex 2.0 is talked about a lot.

Zombie Stomped

Fission

P.S.

You're switching carriers and picking up a Droid X?

I assume you're going to lock yourself into a 2 year contract?

Not to be rude...and nothing against the X...

But this phone will be a year old in July.

The X2 is already out, actually.

I'd get something top-of-the-line for the extra $50 if you're going to be stuck with it for two years.
[Droid X General] ourtut:
No my dad buys them off of craigslist. And the evo wont get 4g service but my dad got the x and it works great
[Droid X General] chbennett:
My advice is to influence your father to make the better choice and go for the newer device. From the purely economic point of view, buying a year old phone now results in an increased likelyhood of failure or desire for a newer phone in the two years of your contract, buying the new phone now means you are more able to make it two years without being left behind.
[Droid X General] ourtut:
I have the evo now its like a year old now and I'm not going to Verizon I'm getting the Droid x because 4g works on it with the network we have but the evo doesn't
[Droid X General] chbennett:
The Droid x is a 3g phone... no 4g.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Not even the dx2 has 4g, you may want to do a little more research before you pick out a phone

[EVO 4G General] swaze:
I saw this and at first I was gonna laugh, but when I thought about it, the guy has no clue. There are already phones with unlocked bootloaders on verizon. So I think maybe they mean no phones will be sold unlocked, but what you do to them after that is your business.
