[EVO 4G General] soxfan81:
When are you supposed to put the battery back in??? I'm confused O_o
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
If you were s off when updating, you will still be able to flash recoveries and roms etc. If you were s on and updated, your SOL for now.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
First of all, there isn't a phone out there with an encrypted bootloader. There are however cryptographically signed bootloaders. Huge difference.

Second, they did in fact say the bootloaders will no longer be locked.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
That's a crazy serious word right there.
[EVO 4G General] Ruki_Uki:
+1 it makes me feel retarded.

HTC EVO = my best friend
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I wonder if we can just OEM unlock it in fastboot?
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
So, if someone's phone is still S-OFF after updating, and they could just flash another recovery, and then a ROM or backup, then how is the bootloader locked?
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
Good question
[EVO 4G General] Alanmw86:
if your not S-OFF you can't.

asked and answered.
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
That did not answer the question.

The question was if your phone is S-OFF, then how is the bootloader locked, NOT WHAT YOU CANNOT DO IF YOUR PHONE IS NOT S-OFF. We already know that.

The reason I asked this question, is because some people have installed the latest update and rerooted their phones because the phones were still S-OFF. This would seem to suggest that the bootloaders are not locked.

If you do not turn off the fastboot option in the settings, or reset the battery, the bootloader will be bypassed, making it appear that the bootloader is locked when it may not be. I would like to know if anyone installed the latest (unrooted) update, and disabled the fastboot or reset the battery, and found that the bootloader is in fact locked.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
My guess is that the update doesn't check your security bit, however it still prevents custom firmware from being loaded in that there isn't any mechanism available to load any custom firmware.

In other words, if your security bit is off already, and you update, you can still place a pc3600.img on your sdcard and have it flash that without it performing a signature check first.

However if your security bit is on at the time of applying the update, then you're a bit SOL, because prior to flashing the new image, it will perform a signature check.

Again, that is just my guess (haven't looked at the update as I've been using AOSP for a long time now.)
[EVO 4G General] tempe38:
I had S-off and ran the OTA, no problem turning off the fast boot option and flashing either Clockworkmod or AmonRa. But I did have to switch to AmonRa in order to run the update, it wouldn't install with CWM.
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Does anyone who still has S-OFF and installed the new OTA have the new hboot version 2.16?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ilgadets:
FYI, for those looking for an inexpensive desk stand, Fry's Electronics has the Belkin Flipblade Ipad Stand for $12 with a $7 rebate. The website has it listed for $25 - $7 rebate but in store it's $12 - $7 rebate.

Here's the Belkin link

http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525853

Made for Ipad but it works with the Transformer. Angle is fixed but decent and for $5 plus tax, it works for me. Plus watching it open is cool :D.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Ravynmagi:
Which store? Since prices may vary between stores as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ilgadets:
Chicago and San Jose for sure.

Just checked the Dallas newspaper insert and it's there too. Page three of the "Dads and Grads" insert.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ThaiM:
It's such a small ledge that actually holds the tablet in place. I wouldn't trust this one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ilgadets:
I was concerned about that also but the Transformer fits in nicely. In either portrait or landscape mode you can keep pushing on the top of the Transformer until the whole stand starts tipping back and the Transformer never pops out of the ledge.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] onlinespending:
when does this sale end?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ilgadets:
The Chicago newspaper ad says prices "good Friday June 3rd through Thursday June 9th. Prices subject to change after June 9th".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
FYI Kmart and Tigerdirect has 16gb right now..

So just wanted to ask how the kindle app runs on this tablet vs the kindle app for ipad, and if the office software that comes with the tablet is good enough to buy the dock over for school... thanks guy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MisterEdF:
Do you mean Adorama? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
lol yeah, never seen this place before sorry :p

point is kmart and tigerdirect has them! lol

and wanted some info on the kindle app.. I seen it on the xoom some time back and it was not as polished as the kindle app for the ipad. Oh hows the zinio app?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sancmat:
I just orderd min 32gb from newegg.
[G Tablet Accessories] yelrx8:
If anyone is local to Fry's, the Belkins flip stand (F5L080tt) for the ipad is $5.00 after MIR. Seems like that is a local price only, because the web price is still $24.99.

It works great for the Gtab.
[G Tablet Accessories] transitoyspace:
dude. good call. just went to frys and picked one up for $12 with MIR so $5. Also got a nice case for $10.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xusefil321:
So i'm currently running CM7 on my incredible. I have been running it for a little over a month with no battery problems. Just recently the battery has been draining crazy fast. I'm saying losing 1% every minute. At first I thought it was my battery so I took the battery from my wife's Dinc to try her's as she has absolutely no battery problems at all. It drained the battery 8% in a matter of 5 minutes!!!

I left my phone on and had it charging all night and in the morning it was still at only 78% charged.

Is there a fix to this? Ideas?

Thanks for the help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'm surprised that it wouldn't fully charge over night! Seems like it only takes an hour or two to fully charge my phone (stock battery, cm7, incredikernel). I'd recommend a different kernel that has fast charge at least, might also help your battery life too. Chad's incredikernel or invisiblek are my favorites, both charge very quickly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Charge your phone until it won't anymore while turned on. Then turn it off and keep charging until the light goes green. Then unplug it, and plug it back in until it goes green again. Then boot into recovery and go to Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats. Reboot your phone and let the battery drain to 0% (don't plug it in at all until it's at 0%, it's relearning all the charge points and whatnot). Then plug it in and charge it all the way up again.

I hope this solves your problem!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweaver33:
What's your CPU utilization look like? If something is pegging your processor, the battery will run down pretty fast.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xusefil321:
I WAS getting great battery life. all of a sudden the phone had shut off one day and wouldn't go back on unless I took the battery out and put it back in. Since then the battery life has been just crap. I tried resetting the battery points and nothing happened. I think I'm just going to go back to 2.2. I never had any issues with cm7 up until now but something is completely ****ed and I can't do anything to repair it.

ugh.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweaver33:
Check what apps are consuming most of your CPU. If you nothing stands out there it may be worth buying System Panel ($3) for the monitoring capability. There are probably free apps that do the same thing, but I can only recommend what I've tried. Also, if you just recently flashed an over/underclocked kernel or just installed SetCPU, you may be running into Issue 9733, which has a known workaround. If you want any more detailed assistance, you'll have to post more details. Can you post an adb bugreport?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xusefil321:
I'm not sure what happened but I decided to just flash a different ROM. I just flashed Kingdom Stock GingerSense 3.0. Works great! I installed all my programs on it just fine and I just tried installing the google apps zip (it has navigation, places, ect) and now I'm getting an error message. UGH! WHY! It didn't install the apps from the zip file and now for a few programs that I had already installed they are no longer there and when I try to install from the market place I get a "Missing Shared Library" error message. I'm trying to install the TD Bank app and Tweetdeck as well as Craigslist and get the errors. I'm not having any problems with anything else.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xusefil321:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScoleBro:
nope nothing similar showed up... SO I am asking the Big question.

Can I use Samsung Fascinate i500 2.2 as a webcam on the laptop?

Yes it will be for film my girlfriend and I in HD because my old webcam just does not do it for me anymore, and how can I possibly enjoi it later when it just looks all blurry?

Yes I can just go buy another one... I just thought this could be more fun and money friendly.

On a serious note... It would be cool to see if it can work? I have looked far and wide, no luck. if not is their any smart phone that could be used in such a way?

Thanks in advance

Ok so I received my case about an hr ago and I gotta say I'm loving it. Phone fits well in my hand and pocket the bulk is very small seems like the phone should be shaped more like this. Little rounded and much sturdier. Only thing is be careful of dust when u put the screen protector on. I got one spit at top left just of the screen that bubbles from it. Talk about annoying but least its out of the view area. I give this case atleast a 4/5 we will see how she stands up when I'm doing some custom welding and mechanics on the project cars and ill know how nice the protection really is.

Can anyone do the Amon RA for Vibrant??? My bro have the evo 4g and he told me is better than Tom manager...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
its a great recovery, but rom manager does everything we need, and does it well.

hit up amon on twitter, but I doubt he will do it.....

What's wrong with Clockwork?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brainwasher01:
It's because I don't know how to delete a kernel with the clockworkmod and mybro told me he can do it with amonra... you know how to do it without use Odin to revert to stock the phone???
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
why would you want to delete your kernel? just flash another kernel instead..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DR-EVIL23:
+1,

just flash a new kernel on top using SGS kernel flasher, its super easy.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dallen50:
Also, SGS Kernel Flasher can do a backup of current kernel, in case you want to go back after flashing a new one!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TheSneakerWhore:
Amon_Ra is great (my N1) but CWMR is an awesome recovery...no need to go trying to fix what isn't broken.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brainwasher01:

Really dumb to delete a kernel...wtf has happened to these forums?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duboi97:
I'd actually enjoy amon RA also, but cwm serves its purpose well...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] brainwasher01:
Every Rom comes with a kernel, if you flash another one and you don't like it, you can't go back, you need to flash another one to change it... that's the point I'm talking about...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Lol +1.

dude, op, please explain why you wanna delete the kernel with out one replacing it??
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Oookk... Then flash the kernel that came with the Rom ??.. :confusing :
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Sdobron:
That's what you're supposed to do...or use sgs kernel flasher and backup the current before you flash...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] laylovj:
you're confused man...what rom are you on?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ECOTOX:
Recovery is part of the kernel from what I remember. There isn't a seperate partition for it. Delete kernel u delete recovery. CWMR boots off SD if I'm not mistaken. I forget these things after 2days of parties XP

I was wondering if there was any way of altering what is shown along the bottom bar of my Epic 4G Android 2.2.1 phone. I have a new sms app that I use all the time rather than the stock app and i'd like to change the icon in the bottom row. Is it even possible without having to use a custom rom or rooting or anything?

~Z
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bucket19:
The bottom bar is the dock from the launcher. I don't know which launcher you are using but on Launcher Pro if you long press on the icon you will be able to change it. I believe Zeam you have to add the icon to your home page then drag it to the dock. ADW is also something similar.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] assasinbob:
To clarify the above post, installing a new launcher does not require root. However if your carrier filters your market you may need to download the .apk file on a pc and install with a file manager from the sdcard. Remember to check "unknown sources" in the android menu prior to attempting the latter method.
