[Android Apps and Games] elto:
This is so far the best app locker, because of two reasons - for one, it has extra features like validity period and multiple locks, and second I can choose if I want to enter pin and thereby let the unwanted user know I am intentionally locking the app, or I can show crash dialog etc and let him think the app is not working. I can't tell you how useful it is around kids who would otherwise pester me for pin to the games. So thanks to the developer of this app.

But I have one complaint: every time a crash dialog or pin request screen comes, in the recent programs view it shows AAL ran. For one, it takes up one slot out of my list of recent apps, and second it gives away the secret that I am trying to protect the app whenever I show, lets say, a virus screen. So could you please remove the icon from the recent app list.

Second, can you give an option to remove the app's icon from the app drawer and make it accessible with a widget only, or disguise it somehow as something else?? Otherwise it is a fantastic app, and all in one solution for app protection.
[Android Apps and Games] ImoRiaL:
good , thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DrunkFuX666:
Seems like an interesting app... but as pointed out there are lots of apps that do pretty much the same thing... unfortunately for myself tho 99% of these apps don't have a feature that I'm specifically looking for... which would be to lock individual apps via the fingerprint scanner rather than the other methods... which I understand isn't available on all phones... but its a feature some, rather lots of ppl would like to have who have the scanner...

The ONLY app till now who has support for the fingerprint scanner is DATA DEFENDER... Unfortunately I found it to be very unstable hence stopped using it...

If you guys could add this feature I would be more than happy to give it a shot and I'm sure so would many others... ESP from the Atrix Community...

[HTC Inspire 4G] trevxor:
I have a problem. I own an Inspire 4G (obvs), and have been running CM7 for quite awhile now. Recently, i was stupid and decided to take it apart to poke around (research for a friend, I swear!). Anyways, i didn't exactly know what I was doing, and in putting it back together, somehow ruined the volume rocker. Normally this would be a non-issue because i can just adjust the volume software side. However, I just realized that you need the volume rocker to navigate clockword mod. Is there any way around this that someone else knows about? I haven't flashed a ROM in forever, and all of a sudden got the urge. I can't do it without clockwork, though. Please help!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tehgeekguy:
Wrong place, this should go in General. This section is for dev.
[HTC Inspire 4G] trevxor:
my apologies, i thought that since I was inquiring about clockworkmod that it would go here, seein as how its all about roms and stuff.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Is the switch itself bad, the ribbon in between, the connection to the mainboard, or ?

If the former two, I'd buy a cheap broken Inspire off of ebay (shattered screen, etc), but with a good switch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Demented71:
I think you answered your own question. Sorry to seem like a ass, but why would you attempt something like that when you didn't fully know what you were doing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] pradeepd:
I had the same problem. My volume rocker broke when taking out the battery. Went to at& the store and told them that it wasn't my mistake. They asked me to go to at&t warranty center and the rep changed the phone for me.

Hope this helps.

[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
Very sorry for newbie Q. I've been using Android for one month now. Though I've rooted, and install CWM, it seems that my knowledge is fragmented. For instance, I installed ROM Manager and ClockWorkMod. Both have backup/restore option. Is Nandrloid backup similar to this? Or CWM is the nandroid backup?

Coz I'm thinking about flashing the baseband and it says i need to do nandroid backup.

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Acti666:
The backup feature in CWM is called a nandroid backup
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
Yup, you are right! It's the same thing.
[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
Two more questions:

1. I read from a few threads that restore function of CWM may not necessarily working. How do we know when we do the back up that it'll work when we need to restore?

2. The CWM that i downloaded is 3.0.8. I read somewhere that the newest is 3.2 something. How can i upgrade to that? It seems that 3.2 can solve this restore failure.

thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you look in the CWM 3.2.0.0 thread, you'll notice there is a zip file, in that is the recovery image and a batch file that will install it for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
I did trust CWM with backup of my system before i tried cyanmod ROM... I have three backups on my SD card and CWM restores fine, but system wont boot. So i had to build my phone all new again.

Dont trust CWM :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
After rebuilding you could have have restored the data backup (not system and boot) and you'd have been OK.
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
but the need to still rebuild still equates to CWM backups are useless.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
That's only true for the original ROM, for custom ROM it's a perfect solution, you just have to flash the ROM again after the restore.
[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
now, i'm confused. So, it's not enough that we restore but we need to flash it again? Like in nvflash or smartflash? Then what is it that we restore?

Also, I just flashed CMW 3.2. Do i need to create a new backup since currently my back up is from CMW 3.0.8?
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
By flash the ROM again, I meant run the zip file with the custom ROM on from Cwm. You will then have all your data and settings back.
[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
So, if i want to go back to stock rom, i run the zip with stock rom from CWM? thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
Do you really have a zip file with stock rom? I don't think so.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
One could be made though, I suppose.
[LG Optimus 2x] vlad88667:
Sorry I'm confused now :(

CWM backups don't work? is that why I can't see them when I open CW Rom Manager? I can see them on the SD card but not in the program...

If these backups do not work, is there another way of making backups that work? I don't want to be left with a bricked phone if I try out some ROMS...

I saw a youtube video that showed how to use NVflash, but it was for the G2X and incredibly complicated, battery was taken out, and the phone was plugged in/out of the pc several times, etc... Is theres something similar for the O2X?

Cheers

Yes, it's the link below. Unless I'm mistaken. But not sure if it's compatible with my country.

edit: the link is BIN file not zip. So, with stock ROM, nandroid backup is useless then?

hi i m trying to update my gt540 from cyanogenmod (swiftdroid v2.0 M4) to cyanogenmod (swiftdroid v2.0 M5).this shows error assert failed: write_raw_image("temp/boot.img","boot") .please help .i m wondering what to do???:confused::eek:
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
This is a known bug with M5. The update has installed, but the boot.img hasn't been flashed. Here is what you need to do.

Extract boot.img from the update .zip file. If you can boot into swiftdroid, use YaffsExpert to flash the boot.img.

Hope it helps,

Jack
[GT540 Optimus General] wrsg:
is there a version that already has the fix applied? i tried the one on the main thread that was supposed to be fixed, but it still gave this error msg.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Same problem for me.

I don't think the installation completes since the installation seems to abort before system.img is flashed.

I could always try fastboot but I'd wait for a fix.
[GT540 Optimus General] lukemovement1:
No it works fine, it aborted at the boot.img. so just reboot and uses the terminal to complete the update.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
are you 100% sure? have you tried it? i don't think the phone will boot if the boot.img is corrupt.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
If you were to look at the updater-script file in the update.zip file, the system partition is modified first. Also, the boot.img isn't corrupt, the update script has an error in it which aborts the boot.img flash. But if you flash the boot.img via fastboot or YaffsExpert, it works perfectly.

Jack
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abeeson:
Hey everybody,

I have had a problem since installing the first beta of FreeX10 2.2, when i attempt to join my wireless at work (PEAP, MSChapV2) it does not save the credentials or try to connect.

my Wireless works great at home on my WPA2-PSK wireless, but the phone just refuses to save any setup for an enterprise connection.

Creating it manually doesnt work either, nor does setting up the credential storage system and password first, then doing it (on the 2.1 stock first time it prompts me to set up password etc)

Anybody else run into this? I think i saw it mentioned once a long time ago in the forum for the ROM, but i havent seen mention of it again, and its stopping me being able to use my wireless in the place i need it most (work, where my mobile coverage is almost non-existent)

I did see somebody mention a workaround at some point with some 3rd party app to pre-setup the wireless, but i havent been able to find that app, and have since forgotten how / what they were talking about, any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Ayden

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrSlump76:
Hi to all, i would like to ask some questions about this device:

Usability:

actually i use a Nokia n82 with a bluetooth headset for work reasons, in my car. Pressing the a button on my bt headset, the n82 listens for the name of my contact i wish to call. I simply say the name and the phone calls it for me.

Does the sgs2 have this feature?

Multimedia:

Hows the audio quality in headset?

I know that it's possible to connect the phone to hdmi via an mhl adapter. Do you know if multichannel audio is supported?

Toughness:

How's the phone durability? Any drop or scrach test anywere? What your opinions?

Thankyou very much for your help :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knusprig:
I like =)

Hir DrSlump76,

I just got my Galaxy S II last week and I must say even though it's plastic, it's one nice build.

Buildquality:

It is very thin (not as thin as the i4, BUT the bigger diagonale makes it feel even thinner) and exceptionally light.

The battery cover is ridiculously thin, but tough enough.

The Handset feels very solid and not as "vulnerable" as the iPhones tend to feel.

Voicecontrol:

My device has no branding and contains only the samsung-specific apps.

I was surprised to see that it contains not only a Google voicecontrol app, but also one from Samsung. Both seem to be good quality and understood my commands well (surprisingly for the samsung app).

Especially the car mode is nice, as it sets the phone in a state where you can just say "Hey Galaxy [Voicecommand]" without pressing a button!

Multimedia:

Coming from an iPhone, I had low expectations for the mediaplayer and Im not completely convinced yet (also due to the fact that I didnt try it enough).

The Samsung player offers 5.1 Channel support if the attached device supports it!

Sending pics or videos to a TV via DLNA (or "Allshare" as samsung calls it) is awesome. No setup, no cables required!

As you can tell Im really excited about this phone (as I should be, paying 500€ for it...).

If you have any more specific questions, dont hesitate to ask ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrSlump76:
Hi knusprig, thankyou for your reply.

The phone will be used without a flat connection for now. I know that other android phones that uses google voice api needs an internet access. Does the samsung voice solution based on vlingo need a internet connection to work? Actually the voice dialer included in my nokia n82 does not need any internet connection to work.

I will use the phone in my 24h bag and i will comunicate with him with a bluetooth headset (as i already do with the n82): do you know if i will be able to command by voice my phone even without seeing it as i do now?

P.s. what about included headset audio quality??

Thankyou again :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plancy:
Is it possible for developers to make tweaks for the display to improve battery life. My display is taking up 71% of the battery at 1/5 the up time being on..at 25% brightness, which I think could be improved. Shoot even reinstating the 30FPS cap would be great if the battery usage readings count this.

edit: running mikfroyo 4.62 with kingxkernel CFS #11, setcpu conservative 245-1152mhz, most unneeded apps have been removed from this ROM including snese with they odex files. Hardware 0003. latest radio and NV, pri 1.77..

It used to take less battery on stock FOR SURE.. Display used to be on the bottom on battery use tab, but now it is always at the top above everything else.

btw, time-wise what fraction of the time was the display used to the time the phone being on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, not a lot. It definitely goes up from gameplay though

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plancy:
So like 10% of the time the phone was on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Yea, I think that's what it amounts to. If I'm just using the market, texting, messing around my display % is low. If I'm playing games it can get as high as yours

We're comin from a pure power source.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_bankai:
So I've unlocked my phone with a Dev Account through Dreamspark. I was under the impression that Dev unlocked phones have a limit of 10 unsigned apps. I was only able to install 3 unsigned apps before I was told I had reached the "maximum". I have a Dell Venue Pro so for anyone who suggests I just remove the cap, I cannot as the DVP doesn't allow for writing to the registry via any editor I know of. Did this happen to anyone else? Or is this just another limitation of the Venue Pro...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doesntexist:
Unfortunately student accounts are limited to 3 unsigned apps as I ran into this problem.

However, because the device is unlocked you can use the MaxUnsignedApp application that (nico) created a little while back that sets the max unsigned apps registry key to the max amount.

Link to his post

Direct Link to app

This value gets reset everytime you sync with zune but you can just open the app again straight after and set it back so this is not so much of a problem.

Hope this helps

[Atrix 4G Accessories] maledyris:
Thought I'd post this in case anyone in the Greater Vancouver Area (Canada) might want a dock at a discount. The Metrotown Bestbuy has at least 2 more for $49.99. Might be on sale at the other Bestbuys, but I don't know. The sale price tag was printed on the 27th, and I bought it yesterday. There was no posted end date for the sale. Who knows, maybe they're trying to get rid of them.

I wasn't planning on getting one, but I wanted another adapter for work and when I saw this, I figured I could take the stock adapter to work and use this at home.

Now that I have it, I actually like it quite a lot. Besides Webtop, it has a second mode just for viewing pictures, videos, and playing music. Comes with a small remote just for that mode.

Works well with my DiNovo keyboard in webtop. Also neat that it becomes a kind of touchpad/keyboard if you don't have any input devices at hand.

And for a phone to be able to do flash over my 1080p tv and do it quite smoothly is pretty impressive to me.

I'm actually much more tempted to get the lapdock after playing with this.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] neotekz:
you have a link? maybe its in the flyer for your area? i just checked bestbuy.ca and its listed at 99.99.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] maledyris:
No, it's neither posted on their website or anywhere else that I saw. It was just by chance that I happened to be there. The yellow price tag on it says something like, "49.99 - 50% off original price of $99.99". This is why I don't know whether the other Bestbuys have it on sale, since it isn't posted.

Since I only saw two at the Metrotown one, if you want it, I'd suggest you go as soon as possible.

*edit*: Ha, oops, I just noticed you're in Ottawa, so obviously you're not going to go as soon as possible...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] androidfusion:
I bought 1 and there is still 1 left at this particular Best Buy (Burnaby Metrotown).
[Atrix 4G Accessories] neotekz:
i just picked one up yesterday, the sales rep was surprised to see it on sale too. thanks maledyris
[Atrix 4G Accessories] maledyris:
Nice! So I guess that means it's on sale across the country. I find it kind of unusual that they don't advertise it, either in the flyers or on the website.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Quinnelton:
Where to start... I had SPL-2.08.HSPL and Magldr v1.13 with MIUI rom installed on a T-Mobile HD2 and everything was peachy. Then all of the sudden for some reason I was getting 1EFATAL HIT 1 on boot up. I googled it and found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908915. #7 looked promising and seemed logical. Task29 completed without a hitch and I was back at the bootloader with SPL-2.08.HSPL, looking good. I downloaded Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787 and that's when things went wrong.

The install seemed to be going fine until 100% when a little caution triangle (I think) was at the end of the progress bar. The window on my computer said something like "This cannot be flashed ... Error" or something along those lines and the phone goes black. I'm like that's weird so I pull the battery out and put it back in and try and boot the phone... Nothing. Do it again... Nothing. Tried multiple times with and without SIM/SD card to no avail. Phone isn't turning on at all... Bricked.

TL;DR: Had HSPL/Magldr and everything was working got 1EFATAL HIT 1 error, tried to fix it end up with a phone not turning on at all.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
You are correct your HD2 is hard bricked. I don't know what went wrong with the radio flash , but that is what bricked your HD2. Having a radio stop flashing for any reason will always result in a bricked device.

The only way to fix your HD2 now is by JTAG. If you like I casn send you a PM with contact info on someone that can JTAG your HD2.
