[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiminitaur:
Your internal memory is not an sd card. It isn't listed in that section.

Pulling down the updates occurs over wifi, it will happen regardless of CDMA service.

If you want to get rid of the hassles:

First root, use superoneclick, its the easiest method.

Then use a program such as root uninstaller to uninstall sprintadroidextension.apk (you can also freeze it, allegedly).

Once you do this, be aware that if Sprint updates it won't download properly and start harassing you about that instead (albeit less frequently). The only solutions are to reflash back to stock and then update, or modify your build.prop file to change the build id (I used remount and notepad to do it).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
It was on my wifi tab.

It pulled down two updates before I even connected it to my wifi.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu_Gotti:
I rooted with SuperOneClick and now have these OTA's downloading... I'm wondering what the pro's and con's are with taking these two OTA's? Have you already rooted prior to taking the OTA's?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
No, I got the OTA's before rooting. I turned it on and one was there. It rebooted and another was there right away.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu_Gotti:
Well I guess I'll find out when I get home if it loses root, which I assume can be restored again... rather, I hope :]

I guess next for me is recovery... seems like the UnLocker page has a nice write up, but I seen mixed reviews on Sprint tabs. I always have a certain degree of comfort when I'm able to backup/recover.

You given that any thought yet? Or you keeping it stock?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Honestly, the only reason I root is because of backup. I like being able to get a core level backup with Titanium and I like being able to restore all of my apps plus all their data on a new device. I've rooted every tablet I've owned (all three of them) but never tried to flash a new ROM or even considered it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu_Gotti:
I hear that! My intentions for buying this was simply to modify it to run HC once Spacemoose gets a stable build up.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu_Gotti:
Have you seen this video/write-up from TheUnlocker?

I'm thinking I may give this a shot to get CWM recovery... debating if I want to chance screwing up my device on day 1 though :]
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreshFreddie53:
Hi guys,

First off, I'm a total newbie to custom ROMs, root etc - so whilst I'm considering following ChainFire's directions to install CWM, it makes me nervous... I did read all 20 pages of the thread, but am still left wondering about a few things:

1) Once installed, is that it? Have I voided my warranty? It states that you can still update firmware or re-install stock ROM, but I got the impression that it left a trace behind which Samsung could find. Is this correct?

2) Presumably before attempting this, I should completely back up my phone. But how? I can copy files from readable SD card (int & ext), but what about the 'hidden' parts of my phone?

3) Finally, how risky is this? I have been tempted to root for ages now (had an HTC Magic, then N1), but just felt my complete lack of knowledge (have been using Android for 2 years now and regularly read tech sites, but more from a user POV rather than dev) has kept me from attempting it. I know, bravery is the key! But is it really worth me trying it if I'm that lost in the world of dev-speak...???

In advance, I really would like to thank anyone who can spare me their time to help me through this...! I feel so out of my depth, yet am actually really comfortable with Android (since cupcake), so feel as though I should be able to get more from the OS.

Once again, thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CappyMan:
Hey guys I flashed my cappy with phoenix ultimate and flashed onix 2.0.1. For some reason with setcpu my cpu doesn't overclock past 1120 mhz :( it used to go to 1300 mhz :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
hmm.. could it be the kernel having the limitation? Usually these OC/UV apps will show what the kernel is capable of being clocked to. You coud try another app- but if you had a kernel that went to 1300mhz and that hasn't changed.. you should see the 1300 step.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlawkHawk:
I saw that I've got only about 1 gigabyte free on my SD card. I don't have that much music or other media files on it, but there are a lot of folders that are taking up space like .android_secure and Android. My question is what folders/files can I delete that won't affect my root?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:
the first thing i do is delete unused crap..u can always recreate it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
If you're using rom manager, there is ALOT of caching within that app that is stored on your sd card. Delete some of the sub folders and you'll find some space. I freed up 3 gigs the other day. I was amazed!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Nothing on the sdcard has an effect on your root, there is a backup file you'll want to keep though (should know about it from reading the instructions on rooting). All the other folders are created by either you or the apps you have. Delete them if you want but the next time the app runs it will just recreate the folder. Mostly they're used for caching info but some have wallpapers, ringtones, pictures, and so on. Hell, 3D Gallery creates a massive amount of cache images - every picture you ever view on your phone actually.
[Optimus 7 General] martin-m81:
Some people mentioned that the scroll speed of the Optimus 7 could be better (even if it isn't bad). Here is a comparison.

(You have to put the www in front of the url because i may not post full urls)

Optimus 7:

youtube.com/watch?v=GVPyaGIOuIQ&feature=player_embedded

HTC Trophy:

imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/854/c3h.mp4

The scroll speed is faster and the list is scrolled to the end. In the optimus-video the list doesn't reach the end with one strike.

I gues that it hasn't to do with the hardware but is a software issue. Does anybody know if there is a possibility to adjust the scroll speed? Maybe it could be done in the registry or something like that?
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
For some reason I have not been able to download anything of the market so could somebody please upload the newest version of game launcher from the market in apk format? Thank you
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
here you go, it's named the same as the apk in /system/, so if you have insecure adb, you can just push it there, it will overwrite original and wont take up the 1.5mb of internal storage :D just put this into adb

adb remount

adb push semcsuite.apk /system/app/

adb reboot
[Xperia Play General] replicant101:
Thank you!!!!
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
The game launcher isn't going to fix your market problem.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
he wanted the .apk because the market has been **** the last few days downloads keep failing, and he obv wants to update the play launcher :p
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Ah, okay... my bad. :)

[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
I really can't believe HTC .... They are giving a phone which is about a year older than desire z sense update and we are still on waiting list ... Were desire z sales really that ****ty for them that they are punishing us for buying it ?

[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
+1 ... Yet another time we HTC owners feel fooked over by the company... that promises updates on updates.. I had the Tattoo... no update, and i've had the SE Xperia Mini Pro... no Update... HTC promised Desire Z update within Q1 of 2011.. and look where we are.. Curses! And how come they speak in the media about Unlocking and open up for rooting on NEWER models..? They do not mention to unlock the phones they just locked with the latest update.. Only newer... Tragic! :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zac95:
The evo was a huge flagship device with a bunch of "first" promises look at it from another point of view, HTC is keeping good on the "first idea"
[G2 and Desire Z General] creepinm3:
If you want to look at it from a Marketing angle. EVO 4G came before G2. So YES, they will update that before us G2 / Desire Z owners. Got to look at the line up of what came before G2/Desire Z, THEN you see how far down the waiting list we are.

[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I don't really see what the big deal is here...

Gingerbread is available to us through Custom ROMS.... For me, the developer support behind the DZ was one of the main reasons I decided to purchase it.

The EVO is a flagship device for HTC so I can understand why they decided to get it updated before the DZ/G2...

The official update will come, just give it time. In the meanwhile, try one of the many custom roms we have to choose from.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
actually the update was confirmed to be in july for the desire z a while ago, so dont worry
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
I'm a little confused here too, but not by HTC's update schedule. I'm confused as to why a bunch of rooted users running some impressive dev ROMS would care about an official update. This is like getting a fully loaded pizza with anything and everything and looking longingly at the half-cold cheese pizza. Gingerbread 2.3 is already here for us and has been for a while. I figured the entire point of rooting was to enable a user to have the latest, most updated software ASAP.. and have a wide selection. I'll let the non-rooted mainstream worry about when the next official OTA drops.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeinashed:
HTC have said the update will arrive before the end of June, which still gives them a month before they break any promises.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
Guys its not about having leaked updates or devs making update for us .... Rule of thumb is that newer phone should get update before older phone .... Desire z was released a month or 2 after desire HD ... Yet they got official update a month back ... And now even an older phone like evo is getting update before ours . Getting official update means more stable bug free Rom along with its source code so that devs start working on it properly.... We haven't got that and apparently we will get that around start of July . That's a damn shame ....

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The EVO was pretty much the only decent Android phone on Sprint for a long time, while the markets with the DZ have had a choice of devices. And although Sprint is the #3 carrier in the US, they are still relatively large. And the US is probably HTC's largest market. Don't know the exact numbers of DZ users versus EVO, but it would seem from these factors that there are more EVO users than DZ users, and HTC has to prioritize somehow. That doesn't mean that the DZ is "useless".

Besides, latest promise from HTC is before the end of Q2 (end of June) for us to get the update. If they keep that promise, that's only a few weeks after the EVO gets it, at most. And it might be sooner.

[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
While I'm fairly annoyed that we seem to be last to get Gingerbread on our phones, its been quoted at Q2 for quite some time, so I hope to get it this month. Its more because I have some weird issues with the 1.72 software than features.

I can understand devs wanting to see the ROM as they probably want the official Kernel source, or apps like Sense out of it to cook into their own ROMs.

All said, is HTC actually working on Gingerbread for DZ? There has only been 1 very early leak compared to a "final" for the G2. Granted, they have Sense to test too but that was in March (28th ish)

Lets hope for delivery within the next 30 days.

[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
wasnt the G2 official OTA sent out? and i seriously think HTC have just one lazy ass developer working on Desire Z GB update.... cause desire HD got update one month ago and that was released 2 months before desire z...this is most definatley gonna be my last HTC phone... i aint gonna buy HTC devices any more . they just churn out newer model of cell phones every month and apparently just 6 month old is too old for them to even bother pushing out an update for it on time...

and about Evo. well after htc had the update finalized it has to be tested by sprint ppl before its sent out as OTA. and yet they got it before us. i mean seriously i am so damn pissed at HTC...
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
chill, bro. it's just a phone.

and no, us G2 owners have not received Gingerbread OTA... I'm not sure why any one here would care anyway, as most of us are already on Gingerbread. yeah, there will probably be some improvements with new source released, but you're blowing this a bit out of proportion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slapshot30:
Are you serious? There are so many other brands that are way worse than HTC about this kind of stuff. At least we're getting gingerbread at all. Other brands just leave their older phones in the dust after 6+ months if even that. I really don't think you'll be as happy with another brand of phone. HTC phones have the best development going on hands down too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
Seriously, what's with the HTC hate? The fragmented nature of Android is as much Google's fault as the manufacturers'. I for one think HTC is pretty awesome. When a huge corporation actually LISTENS to a small rooting/enthusiast community and unlocks their bootloaders, that's a good day. I see the benefit to having that official source code, but I'm running a 2.3 leak with LP+ and Spare Parts and it's so fast and smooth it's almost ridiculous. Again, why is it a big deal?? I have zero complaints and know the devs here can do some amazing stuff, with or without the official OTA source. It only gets even better from here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
Well guys I was the biggest iPhone hater and HTC supporter you could ever think of . But now I'm seriously considering getting an iPhone after desire z . No matter how locked down the platform is at least they provide updates to all phones on time for 2 years atleast and your phone remains the best phone least a year ....

Or I might go with the nexus series atleast they get the updates quicker . But up till GB.... plain Android is very bland for my taste . I hope they really bring some slick UI for icecream . So that I can break my bond with sense and live happily with cyanogen mod

I like Windows phone too but I ain't ready to jump to it until the next major update after mango arrives .... To me its still not as polished as other OS even with mango .

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
At least with HTC when HTC stop releasing updates, you have an excellent community where you can pick up unofficial updates. I have an O2 XDA Orbit 2 (Polaris) with Cyanogenmod 7.0.2 which I'm playing with.

I really like Sense, I also find stock Android bland, so I'll be waiting for official GB
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
How can an iPhone update not be "on time"? There is only one iPhone. So you can't have the same situation like this "EVO has the update, why don't we". Yes, they have older iPhone generations, but that doesn't really count, IMO, since they have only made incremental improvements to the phone, and no really significant changes. Pretty much the same phone every time, just slightly better CPU and memory specs each time, and cosmetic changes.

WP7 is pretty much the worst of all worlds. Closed platform with hardly any apps. And incredibly poor sales indicate a very hard road for Microsoft at best. At worst, another dead phone OS from MS, with WP7 owners left out in the cold.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yeah, agree. HTC has finite resources, and can't update everyone all at one time. Just because they are a bit later updating one phone versus another, people flip out. You want to see awful update support, look at Samsung.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jasand:
There are some right retarded posts on here, throwing ur toys out the pram because you want the update now. I would not want to meet you when ur mommy doesn't buy you any sweeties.

HTC said we will get the update and we will, chill out relax, if you are that desperate then use this site to the max and try out some custom roms with gingerbread. This is why XDA is here to bring developers closer to people like me and providing awesome roms.

If not shut up and get ur iPhone but I bet you will be back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Miketoberfest:
You mention how plain (vanilla) android is very bland for your taste, but yet you consider going to iphone?? Have you ever tried an iphone? It's the epitome of 'bland'.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
Phew... yeah I know. Samsung is the worst with support and Touchwiz.... I'd rather drive nails into my eyeballs. Its a shame too since they are pretty damn impressive from a hardware standpoint. (Build quality aside)

And I'll echo what some posters have said already. If vanilla Android is "bland"... then that makes iOS like watching paint dry on a sidewalk.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oscarwylde:
I've had the galaxy s, the moto droid2, the mytouch, and now the g2 and I've , IMHO, had the best luck and taste in my mouth from HTC. I get not liking to wait for updates and feeling ditched after a short time, mytouch firstgen anyone, but I like HTC's hardware beyond Samsung or MOTO. Sense beats touchwiz or blur in my eyes hands down.

If you guys really want 2.3 that bad then dl a rom and flash it, if vanilla is that bad then flash something new on there that you do dig. or better yet, develop a personal UI that you think will make things better for you... you see that in linux all the time. things like fusion and compiz where designed by folks just like us that wanted something beyond the standard UI

basically I just feel like being productive about it beats complaining that's all
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
You are absolutely right! Apple continues to update their phones, even after they are 2 years old... Who cares about the fact that the older phones can barely handle the new OS, we'll just update it anyways!

Its okay though, you can just flash a custom kernal and overclock the processor to keep up... Oh wait a minute, thats Android...

Well, at least IOS isn't so bland, there are so many widgets, themes and launchers to customize the device to your taste... Oh wait, thats Android too...

Okay, if ALL ELSE fails, we can rely on the custom ROMS built by our development community... Oh wait...

Huh? :confused::confused::confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
Dude this is the general section... which means you and I can say whatever we want...

so chill out and relax... its general discussion...

its my decision what i would prefer and what i wouldn't
[G2 and Desire Z General] infamousjax:
1) CM7

2) Evo sales were MUCH higher than the G2

3) HTC promised GB update this month

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] blue13x:
Hi, on a rooted Xoom I can change the build.prop file so I can acccess the USA market. In that case I would use a verizon 3G Xoom.

Can the same be done with the Tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pegaxs:
Go to the market and install "market enabler" Just set it up to change your SIM id to that of a carrier in the US... I am from Australia, and this was the only way i could download Pandora.

First step is that you may need to have root for this. For you, no problem, for others reading this... just letting them know :)

The trick is... you need to download "marketenabler" from Android Market. Before you run it, you need to be connected to wifi. Put the tab into Airplane Mode "ON" (ie: no connections) and then start market enabler. take note of the current gsm.SIM.operatic.numeric id code. (50503 or something like that for who ever is your carrier in case you need to reset it later.) Be sure to press the "Save Current Settings" button for later...

Go to settings list and select T-Mobile or Verizon and hold your finger on the one you want to select. A popup notification will come up asking you to "fake this provider now" or on reboot. Select the NOW option. It will do a few things and when it is finished, you can go back to the "Actual" tab and see the gsm.sim ID has now changed for example to 310260 using T-Mobile settings.

Go back and turn your Wifi on and open Market again... all the goodies you cant have from the US are now available. You may have to sign back into you Google account.

When you are finished, you can either just restart the tab or do everything in reverse order. Turn Airplane Mode ON. open Market enabler, On the "Actual" tab, click on "restore settings". Go back and turn Airplance Mode off again :)

Done.

Hey.

today i tried using compressed air to clean my phones speaker because it made a distorted sound, it worked:)

but the sad part was that i use compressed air in other "holes" on the phone, and now my mic is ****ed:(

it will not respond to speaking in calls or sound recorder or even thirdparty sound analysing program.

this i will think is not reversable and has to be send over for service. is this my fault since using compressed air on my phone or can i use my warranty? or somebody else experienced the same, and know a solution?

Regards Arrtoo:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
I think this issue is not reversable and it's not a case of warranty. If you send this phone back to your provider/htc, you will have to pay for the repair.
