Okay here is a funny occurence and I cant explain it ...

I am using WhatsApp as many others of you. There, you can set the colours how your led is flashing for notifications. I have it set to Purple type colour which means that the red and blue led have to flash together for it to work. This is not a standard led colour on the Droid Pro, like the others (blue, green, red). For this to work, the phone has to be rooted. I know for a fact that the led wont flash if unrooted.. However, after I attempted aRoot, it now actually flashes Purple again... How is that possible .. ? Titanium Backup can not get root permissions ... seems the phone is almost "soft-rooted" by aRoot ... Any explanations folks?
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Is Superuser installed? If it's not install it from the market and retry your Titanium Backup thing.
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
guys where could i download aRoot?

i want to unroot current 3.8.7 and update to lates 4.6.4
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
U don't wanna do that..you'll be stuck with unrooted GB

What u wanna do is download the TBH app and use it to upgrade to rooted GB
[Droid Pro General] chinkster:
**** I've already updated...waiting for root now...
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
same here, unrooted it with z4root

strange thing that superuser app still on the phone

but rootexplorer doesnt work, it doesnt even launch
[Droid Pro General] tnt118:
I've been meaning to ask (since it looks like TBH is the only way to get root)... does the Team Black Hat app wipe the phone so I have to reload apps and personal data? Or does it work like an update and keep all that intact?
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Well it shouldn't wipe, but you might *need* to wipe to get things going nicely afterwards.

I honestly can't remember my experience, so maybe someone else has the answer.
[Droid Pro General] eclipxe:
Actually, custom LED colors do not require root. Check out LightFlow, etc.
[Droid Pro General] chinkster:
Still waiting for root method so I can freeze all this crapware!
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
Rooted 3.8.7 with aRoot, did not wipe, installed pre-rooted Gingerbread with TBH, no apps nor data lost, everything working well.
[Droid Pro General] devna:
can anyone share the link to the TBH application and let me know if you have to pay for it?
[Droid Pro General] maikdroid:
Google is your friend....

... and yes, you have to pay $3....
[Droid Pro General] patmw123:
If you've already updated to 4.6.4 and root is important to you then just use the 3.8.7 sbf in the TBH app to downgrade back to froyo and then load the pre rooted 2 part install.
[Droid Pro General] jasmineautrey:
How do you install the 2 part rooted GB update from TBH?
[Droid Pro General] chinkster:
can you please direct me to the 3.8.7 sbf in the TBH app? i tried to search for the app in the marketplace and came up empty. thanks in advance!
[Droid Pro General] enlight22:
Isnt there already a link around for the sbf? in the droid pro section somewhere.. If not i can upload it somewhere. I was also contemplating uploading the 2 part gingerbread preroot zip somewhere.
[Droid Pro General] devna:
hey! im a newbie so instructions to go with the link would be super nice.

im thanking you in advance.

m currently on the OTA GB. from what ive read, i need to go back to Froyo and then install the prerooted TBH app.. please help! this is pretty much all i know.

the hows and other technicals im blank on.

Xoom holder now available from Proclip USA. If you are not familiar with Proclip, you get a mount that is made for your vehicle, then a holder which attaches to the mount for your device. This is a very clean and easy to install solution, although a little pricey:

[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
This is my mount I just put into my auto. I didnt like the floor mount one.
[Xoom Accessories] Chunkyeggfoo:
I actually used an iPad version but the height of the holder is adjustable. Mine has a tendency to lean to the right if I make a left turn. The mount to the floor\seat is rock solid but the arm itself can twist pretty easily. I have to nudge it between the carseat and the console itself. It does the job though. Replacing my outdated GPS with Google maps is pretty awesome. Plus Google search actually works.
[Xoom Accessories] eganraC:
ram mount looks ok, i would like to see how much it bounces though.
[Xoom Accessories] Xevilious:
I think... yeah... I think I might get this.
[Xoom Accessories] return0:
I just got mine today and my answer: quite a bit. However, I have 2 cars and the one I tested it in today is a lowered mustang with stiff after market motor mounts and a VERY stiff reinforced frame, so in another car it might not be quite as bad. It does wobble some just from tapping it with my finger while the car isn't running, but its not awful. All that having been said, the car this is going to primarily be used in has a center console that is placed such that I should be able to secure the pole to it using Velcro or something and based on my testing today holding the pole about where I intend to secure it to the center console, it should make the vibration negligible. I will report back once I get it installed tomorrow and let you know how it performs.

If you guys are interested I'll post a picture of it in the car. Since it was temporary I didn't do much bending with the pole and its basically straight which is probably not helping with the vibration (being an 18" long moment arm, versus shorter if it had some bends in it, or possibly sawed off to be shorter)
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
After lots of testing miles this mount shows NO MOVEMENT when driving even at high speed. No mods of anything all stock.
[Xoom Accessories] return0:
Unfortunately no one made a mount like that with a base that I liked how it attached to the console in my car which is why I went with the floor mount. I get my DD back from the shop today so we'll see how it works out.
[Xoom Accessories] eganraC:
i agree, not a bad design and simple to install in my armada.

CONFIRMED: 2900 mAh Extended Battery Enables Kickstand hack

While I was surprised with the decent battery of the Revolution, I've grown to dislike having my phone constantly tethered to a Zagg Sparq, thus bought the $49 extended battery from Verizon.

Much to my delight, the pretty massive battery enables the Revolution to stand up all by itself. Not to mention almost doubles its external-power-source independence. Hoorah!
[LG Revolution] isoutsider:
Triskite I just got the extended battery last night. And I was wondering when you first put it to charge, how long before the battery was full the first time? Last night I put it on the charger at about 2:45am @ 19% left and this morning woke up at 7:45am with only 67% charged.
[LG Revolution] Triskite:
taking way long to charge atm

yeah dude i had it at around 20% at midnight, woke up at 9AM and it was 75% charged.

This was through the ZaggSparq, which is supposed to do it at the same rate as the wall.... but... I'm hoping that isn't the case.

Were you using the included usb cable & wall->usb adapter?

I will try with that tomorrow night and report...

Definitely needs to be able to charge in 8 hours for me to keep the Revolution in general.

Does anyone think slow charging is something that is possible to fix with a different ROM
[LG Revolution] lilshooter:
possibly i know that with my droid 1 depending on the rom it would charge extremely fast
[LG Revolution] isoutsider:
I'm using the charger that I used on my droid X. I also use a regular charger trying to get it fully charged and same thing.
[LG Revolution] isoutsider:
I finally got the battery fully charged last night. So far today about an hour an half and ive only lost 5% battery so fast so good.
[LG Revolution] juicehead9:
Hows the life of the car battery you have stuck to the back of your phone?
[LG Revolution] Triskite:
the hunchback has 65% life left and it's 12:49AM.

It has been on without any recharge since 8AM (technically yesterday morning)- I made lots of calls with google voice callback (requires 3g), did lots of web browsing, phone optimizing, and other things like phone hacking (got dedicated search key working with google finally, following xda walkthrough), etc.

I did have Juice Defender on for about half the day- just to turn off 3G when screen is locked (PS does anyone know a better way? AutomateIt doesn't work reliably)-> but it would sometimes take a while to turn 3G back on...

To follow-up with the previous inquiry, it charged from 17% at 1AM to 90% at 6:30AM-> meaning 90% charge in 8 hours which is almost good enough.

It's like carrying around 2 phones in size and in battery life. which I suppose I prefer to only 1.

65% is overkill, though... I will turn off JD
[LG Revolution] gr33nT:
what was your battery life with jd prior to the extended battery?
[LG Revolution] Triskite:
it got through the day (10% left after 12-15 hrs)... but of course, there is no lte in this city for another week.

also, as i mentioned, 3g would not be re-enabled very often using it- for one reason or another
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
That battery is an absolute monstrosity, but would come in real handy for a ski trip or road trip...
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
With the extended battery are there any belt clips or cases that fit it?
[LG Revolution] mursepaolo:
that's ugly as hell. why can't they make an extended battery that looks good.. at least make the back cover look presentable.
[LG Revolution] jam510:
Curved Battery Cover

I agree. I would love to see an extended battery cover that curved along the phone like the regular one, not hard edges like this. I'm assuming they can't on top because of the camera, but why not the bottom? I think that would make it looke at least 10x better.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
I'm having a problem lots of other are having, where Market returns "Download Unsuccessful." I am on 1.1.0 and used AutoNooter 3.0. It had been working fine 'til recently. Many threads suggest clearing the cache, but Market isn't listed in Nook Color Tools when I look through the apps.

Any idea why?
[Nook Color General] sola fide:
Is the problem consistent for certain apps? I have this happen once in awhile on my NC. Typically the 2nd time I download the app or update it's successful. A couple of months ago there was an app that wouldn't update and a quick reboot fixed it. Not sure if that helps.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Which problem? The "download unsuccessful" problem, or the problem of Market not appearing in Nook Color Tools? No applications will download or update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crean:
I flashed Lite'ning Rom v1.1 ROM... no problem as far...

.. but there was told "Just flash it and your SGS II will be rooted and you will not get the yellow warning triangle and the custom binary download will not count" ...

... root works fine ... but when I start up I got the Yellow Warning Triangle and the counter shows "1"... what happened? What did I made wrong? :confused:

Regards

Sascha
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novek:
forget about the yellow triangle... It just tells you that you don't run fabric ROM, but a custom flashed ROM. There's no harm done to your phone, and no practically reason for removing it unless you are turning it in. In that case buy a USB-jig on ebay! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crean:
... I did one hour before ... in case of cases ... :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ventrilocks:
it is really unnecessary to remove that yellow icon..or you can flash stock kernel to remove the yellow thingy..

national roaming

hi there,

i installed lite'ning rom and i'm very happy with it, but after flashing this rom the "national roaming" setting was missing.

this is quite annoying because my carrier sometimes roams in another national carriers network, but if i enable "data roaming" data services are also activated when i'm crossing the boarder.

is there a way to get this setting back?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crean:
... I don't miss it ... :-)

... maybe that in V1.2 this setting is back ;-)

... if you really need it, flash back to the original ROM ...

Regards

Thank you!

Does anyone know of a way to change the data directory of an apk. I'm referring to whats in /sdcard/Android/data/

Specifically what i'm trying to accomplish is for Google Music to use the external sd rather than the internal for it's cache.
[Droid X General] wrichards2009:
Ok so up until yesterday, I was running Liberty 1.5 and things were peachy. Yesterday morning I got bit by the gingerbread bug and decided to install Gingerale 2.0. Installed, fine, done.

After I was running it for a while I decided I wanted to go back to liberty to do a titanium backup to move my old stuff over. Stupid move I guess. To get into recovery I installed bootstrap. Rebooted my phone, Droid eye bootloops ensued from then on.

So I tried SBF'ing and the first first time I did it I got an error on misallocation of RAM. So I did a battery pull, did it again, and everything appeared to be alright. It did the flash, rebooted the phone, and the droid eye logo appeared. However it was still bootlooping at the droid eye. I've tried several different SBF files, making sure all of them were 30.04 bootloader like I have. Boot loops regardless.

I'm kinda at an end point I'm not sure where to go from here. Can anyone plllllease chime in?
[Droid X General] DRTMI:
After a sbf it is normal to have to do a clear data/factory reset. With phone off, press and hold home and power buttons until the M shows up then ONLY RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON, when the little andy and exclamation pop up you can release home button and press search use volume buttons to move down to clear data then camera button to select.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanishkapd:
hi guys,

pls help me out here. i have a t mobile htc hd2 running energy rom. with some third party applications. it was working fine until i plugged it to a previously unused power supply to charge. as it started to charge the battery suddenly the phone went blank. no response at all. charging indicator was also not working. i tried removing the battery, soft reset button and hard reset too. but nothing worked. so i took the phone to a shop and they tell me it needs a "boot repair" which costs 90usd. my queries are these.

1. what is a boot repair? is it a hardware problem or a software problem?

2. why did this happen? is it because of a power supply error? is it due to the custom rom or applications i m using?

3. is this a known issue with the hd2?

4. how can i prevent this from happening again?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konker:
I think the repair shop is suggesting a JTAG procedure to be carried out to recover from a failure to boot the device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanishkapd:
thanks.

but i m having more trouble now, as they say their might be a short circuit and its going to be pretty hard to repair. :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
The need for a low profile unobtrusive case is a struggle any smartphone user has to deal with. This where Seidio steps in and provides they very thing we’re looking for with their Surface line.

The Surface is one of the many cases that Seidio makes for the Incredible 2/S. The surface is made from a hard durable plastic but has a soft coating to keep it feeling nice and soft in your hands. Seidio’s aim with the Surface is to provide protection without imposing on the phones overall size and they have definitely succeeded in that department.

As you can see the Surface is a two piece case that slides around your phone. A soft push on the back of the case detaches the latch allowing you to separate the case and slide it on your phone.The case has cut outs around the power button, usb port, volume buttons and head phone jack. On the back of the case you can see the cutouts for the camera, flash and external speaker. Where I think this case does well is by not having rubber coverings over the mentioned cut outs. Obviously a personal preference but I feel the rubber coverings make it more difficult to operate and use the phone.

The Surface fits snugly on the phone and as I mentioned does provide any extra bulk to an already sleek Incredible 2. In the picture you can see the low profile fit of the case around the outer edges of the phone. The soft coating on the phone makes it nice to hold and easy to get in and out of the pocket. This is great for those of us like to keep the phone in our pocket over a bag or belt clip.

Something to consider is that it is a little difficult to use the power button when the case is on. This is not the fault of the case as the power button is a low profile button which is not the easiest to use even without a case.

The Seidio Surface is everything I was looking for in a case: low profile, light and protective. I would highly recommend this to case to anyone with the same concerns.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Have you tried the belt clip? Do you know if you can mount the phone in the clip that comes in the combo with the face out? This is pretty important to me coming from the Eris with the seidio case where I could have it face-in or face-out. I like the face out so I can clip it to my dash and use it from there for navigation and music while driving.

Been a fan of seidio's slim cases for a while. Minimalistic, yet tough as nails. Much more my style than the Otterbox.

EDIT: Oh, and is there a hole for the noise cancellation mic?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
I didn't get the belt clip so I can answer on that. If you go to their site there might be a picture showing you how the phone looks in the clip.

I believe there is a hole for noise cancellation mic. If this is the small hole on the bottom of the device then yes it's definitely there. The only holes that are covered are the ones on the back of the cover next to the camera lens and just below the bump in the cover where it says "Google"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
The seidio site shows only the face-in, as it did for the Eris even though on the Eris I could flip it around. I am thinking that it might not work because the phone has the extra bulk on the back (unlike the Eris).

The noise cancellation mic is on the top of the phone (according to a review I read a while back. I don't have my DInc2 yet, just workin myself up to it)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Yes, the mic is exposed and not blocked by the case.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Great review -I thank you for this because it is making me think about getting it.

Is this the case that supposedly comes with a small kickstand type thing?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
No, there is no kickstand with the case. You might be thinking of the one that comes in the Verizon specific bundle.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Oh okay. That's right.

I am probably going to hold off on this and see what happens when HTC releases the inductive charging back cover for this phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edster00:
I had the Seidio surface case on my original Dinc. I dropped the phone twice, first time no damage to the case or the phone, the second time I broke the case (it landed on a corner) but the phone was unharmed.

I was disappointed when Seidio didn't have a surface case for the Dinc2 but I jumped on it when they finally came out with it. I recommend this case!;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I just wish Seidio would release a "surface case" for the 2150mah battery in the DInc2.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] efaden:
Anyone tried the active?... is it a lot bulkier?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Tarpit_Carnivore:
From what I can tell with description and pictures it doesn't look to add too much bulk to the device.

You're probably right. Same applies to Pocket Legends. I think the second list is existing Android games and upcoming Android games that will support the Play's gamepad soon.

LOL @ fapin' btw ^^
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Lumines for Xperia Play is in the Market, however at launch it was set up to be incompatible with the Xperia Play as the Market saw things, so you wouldn't be able to actually purchase it. I poked the guys that made it and they fixed it so that it can be bought now. Also, you will find it when looking for Xperia Play Optimized games either with a manual search or with the automatic one you get from a button in the game launcher.

I also already have sent them a bunch of bugs to fix.
[Xperia Play General] v3rn:
What's the verdict on Lumines? I used to love it for my PSP. Is the soundtrack still great and how does the game look/control?
