[Acer Iconia A500] dwreck420:
unable to flash zip

So i rooted my a500 with iconia root, its 3.1, got the Acer recovery program and flashed cwm. I did a Android backup and its not on my sd card, when I go to flash the zipped patch for Netflix, its not on the SD card. Neither are the folders that show in cwm as to where the backup was made. Its like its not using the SD card for actual stuff in cwm. Any ideas? I'm pretty familiar with cwm as I use it on my evo and don't get this?
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Try pull micro SD, boot, shut back down put SD back in and boot.
[Acer Iconia A500] PsychosisNC:
make sure you are moving it to external_sdcard instead of just sdcard. When you downloaded the file it went to /mnt/sdcard/Downloads I am assuming. To see it in recovery you need to move it to /mnt/external_sdcard. The backup went to /mnt/external_sdcard. Bottom line is there is the internal 16Gig storage that is /mnt/sdcard and the actual sdcard is /mnt/external_sdcard. I know its very confusing and got me at first until I noticed it.
[Acer Iconia A500] stever5:
I had to get my own .apk (from another device which IS supported) instead of downloading from online - seems various links have been taken down (multiupload) and many were old versions.

The apk can be found (on a supported device) in /data/app/com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk (at least in my case).

from a shell:

cp /data/app/*netflix* /mnt/sdcard/

or devices that use external_sd it may be:

cp /data/app/*netflix* /mnt/external_sd/

As some others have said the patch, AND a reboot was required for the patched .so file to take effect - I get FC on camcorder, but photos worked fine still.

Happy watching,

I tried the asus patch. It doesn't work.

Anybody got a link for procedures to make netflix working?
[Acer Iconia A500] Desdinova:
It's working for me.

I have a stock A500. I downloaded Netflix from amazon market. First attempt failed with "incompatible app" error. Tried it again and it loaded. It works with out any issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] TonyCubed:
Just curious if there are any gel cases yet? I know the Xoom has one now. I really don't want a case unless I'm going out, just want a gel case so I can walk around the house with. I've got one for my mobile phone which is just basic black, but it works great and holds better in my hand, I think the same would work better with the Transformer too.

Let me know! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] WheresWaldo:
I am considering the same option, for basically the same reason. I have a TPU case for my Captivate and it was one of the better investments and would live to find a similar case for the TF. Just keep searching eBay for TPU and eventually they will start appearing.

I don't know much about modems but I was wondering if they can be customized.... not a noob but not a dev either....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
So far there haven't been any, and I suspect a custom modem would not work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lennita:
Sorry about my english

I'm going to sell my Tilt 2 to get a HD2 but need spanish language. Then only rom that found with spanish doesn't have the youtube client fixed for play sound on HQ videos.

My friend who is gonna buy my phone liked too much the way it plays Youtube videos in my Jackos ROM and that's one of the reason he wants the phone.

So the point is, is there a cab that can be installed in my spanish langauge rom to fix the Htc youtube client to play sound in HQ videos, or a cab to translate english roms to spanish languages?

Thanks

My google music does not sync on a retail 10.1. I am logged into my google account, and I am able to access my music through the browser, as well as through my Vibrant. I get a "Your Music Library is empty" message in the app, and I am unable to find sync settings in either the app or Accounts and Sync.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

I feel stupid now. Clearing app data fixed everything.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holmern:
I tried clearing all the data but the library still isnt showing. Is there anything else i should do?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berner:
What worked for me was the following:

1. Go to Settings | Privacy and uncheck "Automatic restore"

2. Uninstalling Music, reboot, then reinstall from the Market

What finally fixed it was unistalling the update and reinstall it while the USB was plugged in to my computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] TonyCubed:
Wondering if there is an app which can browse SMB shares on my network and could stream content from those directories? Not having much look with transcoding since my server isn't that fast. :(

Thank you! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] johantheolive:
I don't know that any will stream as your wanting, File manager HD and File expert both allow accessing SMB shares, but if you try to open a video it must copy to the device first. I personally have been using Upnplay + moboplayer, and I have Tvmobili running on my server. My server is running Win2k8 R2 with 2GB of RAM on an Atom 330 cpu (yes, one of those dinky netbook/nettop chips), so it may be worth a shot. I actually used to run exchange on that :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] PublicJohnDoe:
Nope, file Expert does a nice job of streaming via SMB...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Den70:
Over here it doesn't. The browsing in the SMB-folders is fine, at home on my WHS server as well on the Windows server at work. But when I open a music or mediafile the browser opens and starts downloading and after that nothing happens: downloading stops and no file is opened.

Still File Expert is the SMB-filemanager that works the best for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Kilmar:
I don't use SMB, but I stream MP3s and videos of all kinds via upnplay and moboplayer just like johantheolive. Works great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] rartino:
This depends on which browser you use. When clicking on an SMB file in File Expert you should get to choose your browser (unless you have set some browser as default, in which case you need to clear this setting in the TF app config). Try e.g. Dolphin HD. It will allow you to open that link in a media player, go for Moboplayer, Rock player, or Little Player. Then streaming works OK, but you cannot seek in the stream.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Magnesus:
I use AndSMB.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sontin:
But you can watch the movie while copying to the transformer, only open the file on the transformer.

But you need more than 1GHz because the copying uses 30-50% of the cpu.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funziebear:
Hey guys been reading around about unlocking my dell , I just switched over from att to T-Mobile withouth trying to unlock my phone thru att . My question is what's the cheapest you guys have fun the unlock service for ? I don't wanna do rebel sim .

TIA
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown123456:
off the topic you are asking about but one thing you are going to be disappointed about with the Streak/T-Mobile combo is the lost of 3g/hspda connection. I really miss the H speed connection when I use the HD2 before I got the streak. I have to use Opera Mini again for faster loading like I did back then with my HD(different from HD2). I don't see much difference with the mod either by editing the build.prop by adding a few commands from the previous thread.

P.S. - Can't comment on your question because I bought my Streak unlocked directly from Dell. If you've been with AT&T for at least a few months I believe, you can call Customer Care and ask for an unlock code. You can say you are going out of the country for a week if you need an excuse.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rico ANDROID:
Hi Unknown, I got my streak direct from Dell too. Question: when I am in an H network area, my old htc displayed H, etc. Now, when I am in the same area, the Streak displays 3G. while in 3g, I go to Settings> About Phone>Status>Mobile Network Type and it says H there. Then it changes to 3 or Edge when I am in other network areas.

Does it mean I am getting the h signal even though the status bar at the top doesnt display the h? I do notice good streaming (for clips not requiring wifi) and signals without turning on wifi.

And yep, if FunzieBear switches to Tmobile. That streak will have no 3G service at all.... :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funziebear:
I just miss the big screen on it I guess ilk just carry both hah and use the wifi of this phone :/ , is the speed toleratable atleast ? I don't care if its not super fast I mainly gonna use it for social networking and calls and text . A video here and there ,
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
I am new to sense coming from a nexus one. I have noticed that the sense agenda calendar widget refreshes way too much. Every other time I swipe to the screen with the widget it says "loading" and takes a few super annoying seconds to load.

Is there an update setting somewhere or should I just go back to Pure Calendar Widget?
[HTC Sensation] qalidor:
I haven't this problem. When i swype to the widget, my agenda appeare immediately, but i don't have a lot of task to sync...
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
I do have quite a few tasks and calendars synched but even still it shouldn't be updating this often. In pure calendar widget I rarely see it refresh.

I love the look of the sense agenda widget so hoping to get it to work properly.
[HTC Sensation] mikef1182:
I am also seeing "loading" much more than I would like. It always happens to me on Sense devices. Might be the number of cals I sync.
[HTC Sensation] rst_ack:
I do not have many tasks (approximately 4/mo.) and it has to load very often...almost every time I go through all the home screens.
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
Yeah it doesn't seem to be an issue of how many entries, rather how often it refreshes. Anyone know if there is a good way to report this to htc ?
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
Might have fixed it.... go to HTC Hub, settings menu.... accounts and sync... remove the check from update when opened
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
I haven't even created an HTC sense or hub account so can it really be controlled from there for me?
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
My "fix" didnt even work for me, so Im still working on it.
[HTC Sensation] MAMeingast:
I have the same issue - quite annoying... :(
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
For the people having this problem....

Do you have Facebook for HTC Sense enabled?

What calendars do you have enabled?

Autosync on?

HTC Hub account logged in?
[HTC Sensation] MAMeingast:
In the same order:

Yes

Exchange + Facebook

Yes

No
[HTC Sensation] skylite:
Yes

Google Calendar only

Yes

No
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
Yes

4 google/google apps calendars

Yes

No
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
Been doing more research.... seems like it doesnt matter if you have

facebook for sense logged in, as I dont for days and still see this problem,

autosync on or off, no matter.

multiple calendars, or even no calendar at all, or even just "PC Sync" calendar with no events...

Seems like it polls right after switching from wifi to 4g and vice versa...?

Really not making any sense, and I really have no clue as to who to even email to bring this issue up.
[HTC Sensation] skylite:
It seems to poll also when I unlock my phone after leaving it alone for sometime or occasionally, when I quit an app after using it.
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
What if we can get our hands on a Calendar Agenda Widget apk from Sense 2.5 or 2.0 and try to install it?
[HTC Sensation] NoModE:
I have the same problem with the agenda reloading.

I want htc agnda widget that showed profile photos next to the appointment or birthday that was taken from facebook.

I had that widget on a rom i tried on my HD2.

But most important. Make it work without the waiting time to show the appointments.
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
That.

Android user from day1, new to Sense and it drives me nuts. Very much used to LP pro and never had that problem.

Fix it! (shakes fist @ htc)
[HTC Sensation] caliber177:
No dice on getting another HTC Calendar widget from older version, the thing will not allow an install.... guess we need to wait for root.... :/
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
Anyone found a fix on this? I am wondering if the slow data / apn fix might speed up this refresh. Going back to stock sense to try it now.
[HTC Sensation] :
Guys, can you please reply and let me know what branding you have on your phone if you're having this issue?

Tmobile USA here
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
I have a T-Mobile Sensation, ordered from Customer Care.. and I have this issue. 8 times out of 10, when you swipe over to the screen with the widget, it just says 'Loading' for a few seconds and then the events display. It does not matter if I am on Wifi/3g/4g/etc. Even locking the phone, unlocking it, and going to the screen causes this.. as if it's forcing a re-sync.
[HTC Sensation] bryancruise:
I have this same issue. I wonder if it is related to task killers running in the background... When I use system panel to 'kill all', it always takes a second to refresh the calendar widget when I go back to the home screen... If I stay on the home screen and swipe around, it only refreshes once... Just a thought.
[HTC Sensation] :
Honestly, I don't even think its really looking for new events... because the widget actually updated to the next event without the 'Loading' message... thought I had fixed it for the moment... but then it came again.... driving me crazy.... and I honestly can't put my finger on it....

I am running Memory Booster and Auto Memory Optimizer...

Once we get Root, I think Ill try taking the HTC Calendar widget from another build.
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
Maybe having it show only a few weeks instead of 2 months would help too??? Not sure where that setting is. May not exist.

Also the thing you are talking about with people icon and there info from fb, email, mms, etc... That is a people widget. Style 3.
[HTC Sensation] :
No such setting....

I also tried uninstalling all my "app killers" and it makes no difference. AHHHHHHH
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
Jorte calendar ftw

Sent from my brain
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
It doesn't bother me all that much. Just a few seconds and only when you haven't looked at it. It would take more time to open up the calender and go to daily view... Right?
[HTC Sensation] krunal1981:
Thanks mate that helped.
[HTC Sensation] ocuj:
possible solution

Think I've found the possible solution.

Go to settings - accounts and syncronisation (my phone is on Dutch, so forgive any incorrect translation). Here you'll find something calles Show Me (green circle with an i inside). Disable update on opening. Since I disabled this setting this morning, none of my sense widgets updatet on opening them. Hope this is the solution we're all looking for.
[HTC Sensation] :
Thats actually what Ive been testing this morning.... so far, all good, but we'll see....
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
My phone doesn't have the HTC Show Me (tmous took it out) & my agenda widget still refreshes. Now i'm trying out CalWidget to see how that works. I'm liking that it's customizable & doesn't take up the whole screen, so I can put it on my home screen like my WM HD2.

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.eggenstein.android.calwidget
[HTC Sensation] :
There are many good alternatives to the Sense Calendar widget... dont get me wrong... Jorte, CalWidget, and Smooth Calendar are great ones... but I think the point of this thread is to figure out how to get the widget that we want on our home screens (Sense Calendar) to stop loading every hour...

I am now pretty convinced it has to do with the syncing of the google account.
[HTC Sensation] :
Ok, as long as we have auto sync off and never turn it on, were good.

Pffffffff
[HTC Sensation] ocuj:
I start to think the solution I opted about Show Me doesn't work. The agenda widget updatet 2 times when show me was disabled. I do believe it got a lot better with the new FOTA. I disabled Show Me right after updating. Now I've got Show Me enabled and the updating is a lot less than with the old firmware.
[HTC Sensation] :
As long as Auto-Sync is off, and Update When Opened is unchecked... the widget really never says loading.... but thats not a way to live.
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
I am still having this issue. I was hoping the latest ota would have fixed it. Anyone have a solution or any new thoughts?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
Yea, it's annoying. It happens with contacts and messages widgets too.
[HTC Sensation] MadRed:
same this is happening to all widgets on home screens. they seem to only update when that screen is selected. i had evo 4G and it seemed that widgets would update in the background and when you would go to the the proper home screen they would already have updated info and would not try to reload. something is killing all the updating services while the phone sleeps. must be 2.3.3/2.3.4 and sense not working right together.
[HTC Sensation] unkellsam:
-

I have the same issue with the Evo 3D - so its probably a sense issue.

Although there may be better calendar widgets out there, there are none better looking...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltorio:
I'm currently running Wolfbreak 6.1.3 v006 with the Android Market 2.2.7, and I cannot seem to get in-app purchases working in a few apps I use (Kaloer Clock and Robotek specifically).

In Kaloer Clock, the purchase of the paid version is in-app. But clicking the button to do so does nothing at all. Meanwhile, in Robotek, if I try to buy Power/Coins the game displays "Requesting Purchase..." for some time and then eventually times out. As both of these apps seem to be having problems with in-app purchasing, I'm thinking the problem is with my setup.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Modems are the software that establishs and controls your phone, data and gps signal. Some modems work better in certain regions or with certain carriers. Some may be best with gps, or shine at data transmission. Also if your phone supports the 850 band you will need a modem that supports that. Getting the best signal you can is important because the sgs can burn a lot of battery life seeking and finding a solid connection.

Modems are painless and quick to flash via recovery, so it never hurts to try a few out to find the best for you and your usage.
