Ah, I guess I'm just too spoiled with my car's A2DP streaming audio :o

Maybe you can get one of these?

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-HF800-Bluetooth-Portable-Speaker/dp/B0002F7I9E

Or something like that. Pair your phone, slap it on your visor and use that for calls.

That one's just an example, there's a huge selection of these bluetooth car speakers.

Hey all, I downloaded and flashed MikG's ROM (Sense 2.1 and GB) - but it did not come with GAPPS. Is there a place to download the latest version of GAPPS for flashing onto the phone? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
You can go here

http://tinyurl.com/4yl4up9

Or, you could try rebooting your phone, normal. That worked for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscurenetworks:
Your link shows plenty of download links for Gapps for CM. No mention of a general download for any 2.3-based ROM.

Also - how does rebooting your phone add something that isn't there? I'm really doubting your "lmgtfy" skills.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I've seen this happen to others from not wiping there ext partition but I've read you could clear cache and dalvik cache and that might help not sure though never happened to me and I'm on that ROM and loving it.

Everything has been working for 3 days now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscurenetworks:
I wiped DATA: CACHE: and dalvik-cache before flashing the ROM. Was I supposed to flash ext data?

What if I wanted to revert back to my old ROM, would a wipe of the ext partition prevent me from going back via nandroid?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
Don't wipe your sd card just the ext sd if you have your card partitioned.

I don't use a partition but I've read about this happening to some PPL that don't wipe it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
If you would have clicked on the first search result, you would have found what you were looking for. Sorry I didn't do a search for you and then copy the link so you wouldn't waste your precious time. By the way, The new CM is based off of 2.3, I think you meant to say a sense based rom.

Anyway

I assumed you were like me and didn't wipe your ext3 partition. I assumed, and wrongly so. My apologies. All I can say is when I flashed Mik's2.3 I had no GAPPS or ext3 files showing up. I figured it had something to do with the dalvik cache not reading the partition. My guess would be that A2SD is not activated on initial boot. All I know for sure is that it works. I've just updated this morning to Miks new version, and the same thing happened. All i had to do was reboot, and they showed up.

P.S. You could at least thank the guy who did search it for you, and pasted a link to make it easy, but what am I thinking, if you won't bother to do a simple search, then why would you thank anyone that did it for you.

OK, really interesting question (at least to lot of us noobs!)

If I restore a nandroid backup, does the radio it was working with get reinstalled?

Or do I have to re-install.

Specifically, I am going from GB with MR2 and want to redo a Froyo. Do I have to go find the Froyo radios again?

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubs2008:
Depends on the Froyo you want. If it's one of the three ROM's that just came out with the MR2 radios then no. If it's an older Froyo ROM then yes...you have to flash the old Froyo radios seperately from the ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanren78:

HI.

Is possible installing the apk file explorer the our toshiba original flash (and i thinks foliomod) in the honeycomb?

If the answer is Yes, How?
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Jon2555:
I think the answer is yes, because it is for android 2.2 and HC support apps from older versions of androids, IF this app is only for roms based on toshiba's original(like FolioMod),for example Theme Chooser for CM7:

1. Copy that app from /system/app with Root Explorer somewhere(e.g. /sdcard/sdcard-disk0)

2. Install HC

3. Install it or copy to /system/app and reboot
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] ma1999:
It works in HC, (v.3a) but only Internal storage works. Also font in HC is smaller so the text get clipped. Getting SD and USB icons to work is probably about editing paths in the (apk) file.

(A apk file is signed so I dont think you can just hexedit it).

To extract it, install ES File Explorer in stock/1.3/1.4. In ES File Explorer go into (menu) Manager and then App manager, select the file (long click) and do Backup. The .apk file is now in the sd card and can be installed in HC by clicking on the file in any filemanager.

/Martin
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Jon2555:
If tou want to app see sd card and usb, you have to change mount points for sd card and usb in vold file in /system/etc like on FolioMod, If you don't know how to do this, saay and I'll change it and post here:D
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] ma1999:
Is it possible to mount the same device several times ?

To have the mounts for the Toshiba File Manager Icons and mounts to the same device/partition in other places/other names to ?

/Martin
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Jon2555:
You think to mount e.g sd card on several places(/mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk0 and /mnt/sdcard2)? If you think this, answer is yes.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sicvolo:
First, why:

I own two Coby Kyros tablets that I am using as a part-time car headrest entertainment system. Heck, they are so cheap, buying a dedicated car video just does not make sense.

Tablets work great for that purpose, great resolution (for a car), have games and music. There is only one piece that is missing, simultaneous video playback on both tablets.

Getting this working presents two challenges:

* A fast, stable, always ON connection between the tablets.

* A master/slave video playback software, either streaming or syncing

Glad to report, I've solved the first issue, that I'll describe here. Be warned this is not for the faint of hart and right now is fully manual. If you find it helpful I might work on automating the link.

Tested on Froyo. At least one device has to be rooted and support the USB Host mode.

Now, how:

The idea is simple - use the android debugging bridge to forward TCP ports between two systems over USB. If you do have USB tethering enabled on at least one device (I did not) you could use RNDIS to route all traffic, not just specific ports, over USB.

1. Pick a tablet to be the slave. It must be rooted. Get the adb client compiled for android from here, upload it to the slave /system/xbin ("adb push ...") and make executable (adb shell chmod 755...). Get ConnectBot from the market to access its console.

2. Put the slave into the USB Host mode, disable USB debugging on it. Put the master into the USB device mode and enable USB debugging.

3. Connect the master and the slave using a miniUSB-USBfemale and USBmale-miniUSB combination, a USB hub (make sure it is a high-speed one) or a miniUSBmale-miniUSBmale cord.

4. Now the tough part, typing shell commands on the tablet. You can make it a bit easier by using a USB hub and connecting a keyboard and a mouse together with the other tablet to the slave.

On the slave start ConnectBot for the localhost and type the following

less /proc/bus/usb/devices

Look for your master's devices BUS# and DEV#. Record both. Note, these numbers change when you re-plug USB.

Now, on the slave:

su
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/001/
ln -sf /proc/bus/usb/[BUS#]/[Dev#] /dev/bus/usb/001/001

5. Test. On the slave run 'adb devices'. It should show your master in the list.

6. Forward slave ports to the master as needed. Run 'adb forward tcp:123 tcp:234'. Now you can use localhost:123 on the slave to reach out to the master port 234 over USB.

If your kernel is RNDIS enabled you could route all network connections over the usb0 interface, essentially creating a one-to-one network. Stock Kyros unfortunately does not support RNDIS so I've not tested it.

The ADB USB speed is not bad, averaging 2.5MB/sec after protocol overhead.

I did some research on the second issue, went several routes (mplayer, VLC and UPNP) and, sadly, found nothing that currently works. If you know of any working video source/sink pair or a sync peer for android, let me know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] therealmattcarr:
Is there a guide on getting USB Host Mode to work on this device or if there isn't could you write one?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mobirabi:
I have two Galaxy S3. I went through steps 1-3, all fine. But in step 4, there is no '/proc/bus/usb/devices'; there are only '/proc/bus/input' and '/proc/bus/input/devices'.

Is there any other method to get dev# and bus#? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Hey guys,my GS2 finally arrived today! :D

So,starting from good things.I absolutely love the screen,speed and smoothness.Nothing brings the phone to its knees,not even downloading 30 apps at the same time from market! :eek:

I won't go on with the good stuff of the phone,you all already know it's awesome(probably).

I also have some issues though.What I saw first was that my phone came with KE2 on it.I thought ok,I'll update it.I go to Settings->Phone info(Or whatever it is,mine is in greek)->Software Updates and I run a check.It says I have the latest firmware installed.I then try on my PC with Kies and it's the same.What is wrong here?Does anyone know?

Second thing is that it charges really really slow.It's partially normal that it takes longer than my Desire HD to charge 'cause the battery is like 25% bigger,but that much longer?Good thing is it also discharges slower! :D

Third.That's a pain.Isn't there a USB Disk mode?Cause the only way I can transfer files between my phone and PC is via Kies(I don't like it,reminds me of iTunes).And what's worse,I cannot transfer from my PS3.

Fourth.Some market apps can't install.Mostly games(Only one wasn't a game),for example Angry Birds with the exception of Angry Birds Rio.Is it normal for the SGS2?Cause I saw Chainfire3D has an option to repair something with apps not installing from market.

If I find a fifth or more I'll post again! :)

Now to questions.

1)How the hell do I put my phone in download mode?I haven't managed to find that anywhere.

2)Can I enter bootloader and fastboot normally by holding volume down key like on HTC devices or is it trickier here?

3)Rooting is just as easy as clicking a button in Odin?With no possible side effects?I can' accept it's that easy! :p

4)Until I root,does Chainfire3D take care of banding issues too?Cause banding pretty much ****ed up my Robotek experience(I got addicted to Robotek last week for Christ's sake! :p ).

5)Is making a Nandroid backup possible?If not,is there any way to back up the phone like with Nandroid?

That's for now...I think!Sorry for noobish questions but my whole Android experience was with HTC devices.The Galaxy S 2,as an experience altogether(meaning for software,hardware-wise it blows away everything) isn't worse nor is it better than the HTC devices I've owned.The abscense of Sense will take a long getting used to,but I'll live with it.Meanwhile I'll be loving the speed,the power,the smoothness,the awesome camera and everything else that makes the device great.You know what I mean,right? ;)

Thanks in advance guys! :)

PS:You don't have to answer all questions simultaneously,answering one or two will make me a happier SGS2 user.If you insist to answer to everything though I won't get mad at you obviously! :p
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
you can find many of these questions answered in the QA threads.

charging is about 3-3.5 hours.

I use mine as USB drive by enabling "USB Debugging" mode in the settings, it then becomes a couple of hard drives.

this is all I can answer off the top of my head :)
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
In wireless and network it says usb utilities and you can enable usb mode in there.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Firstly thanks for the rapid replies guys! :)

Ok,I didn't know...Will also search the Q&A threads later,as suggested! :)

I found two more niggles I want to add to the questions.

1)Is there any way I can use the LED flash as a flashlight?Any apps from market?

2)Can't I change user agent in Samsung's browser?Can't seem to find an option...And I can't stand mobile versions of websites! :mad:

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S II General] virenjoky:
Unboxing right now.

So. Finally received my GS2 and in the process of unboxing. Reading these threads (spent 3 days in office doing nothing but :D) have made me really anxious, but fingers crossed that everything'll be a-ok.

Gonna spend the next few days testing and putting the phone through it's paces. If you guys want me to test anything for you (or if there's anything specific I should check) let me know.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
come on ,in one sentence you promise to review the FAQ threads, and in the next sentence you ask more questions that were FAQed multiple times before :)

your answers

1) a myriad apps can use LED as flashlight. try "Search Light" or "TeslaLED" for example

2) to change the UA just type about:useragent in the browser address box, or install a different browser
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
I just realised I'm an arse,eh? :p

Well,right now I am very busy with some friends(Playing Pro Evolution on my PS3,hooked to my 42 inch TV,noice! :D ),so I'll check later on.Sorry about it though,I don't use to ask noobishly anymore! :)

As for number 1 I knew there are apps that do so,but I don't know if they are compatible.Will check and see! :)

Thanks for the second,saved my day! :D
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
And one more...I hope this one isn't answered in the FAQ! :p

Why the hell doesn't it show me the current in CurrentWidget?It says "No data" instead of x mA.That is nasty! :mad:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 94kram01:
Hey guys,

I'd like to ask for a tutorial on creating a simple apk with a simple UI (like a button which executes a command on press) which will first ask for root rights, and then it executes commands like in adb or in terminal emulator. (I want to remove several system applications, so I need SU right, and then I can re-mount /system and then rm the .apks), and on the other hand has another function, which checks for some applications running, and if, then closes them

Guys, don't forget to call customer service first before using the upgrade. You must renew your contract at customer service so you can get the credit. It will not affect your upgrade eligibility if they will renew your contract. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] bsg411:
What credit?
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Love the details

R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
I got a $45 "Stay with us" credit to my account because I opted to sign a 2-year contract extension early (which does not mess with your upgrade eligibility)...I'm also selling my EVO back to Sprint for $150 credit so my 3D will cost me a whomping $5! Hahaha!
[HTC EVO 3D] arvinsheet:
Credit for renewing your contract on top of the upgrade. A lot of sprint customers are not aware of this.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Lol

I think its for existing customers who upgrade... Depending on how close you where to the 2year date of original contract you will get a credit for staying with sprint

Could be wrong as I'm a new customer and never dealt with sprint personally

sent from anything but an iPhone
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
You are absolutely correct...its for existing customers at the end or past their contract life...welcome to Sprint! You will have a good experience with them...the same can not be said as of just a few years ago!! Sprint has made some killer steps in changing their policies and culture to truly aiming for customer retention and satisfaction...
[HTC EVO 3D] kcodya:
My upgrade date is 6/1/11, but my agreement (contract) doesn't expire till 9/24. Would this still work now?
[HTC EVO 3D] eduardmc:
which number do you have to call. and my contract ends 6/12 how much would i get if any $$$
[HTC EVO 3D] arvinsheet:
That is perfect. You should give them a call now. I believe you will get $65 or $70 credit for renewing it now.
[HTC EVO 3D] arvinsheet:
Just call (888) 211-4727 or dial *2 on your Sprint phone to reach customer care. You will also around $65 to $70.. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
[HTC EVO 3D] knlmwq:
My contract will not be over for about another year and one month.. Can I still get this credit?
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
The credit will go to your bill? Or you have to purchase the phone online for the credit?

We need more info..
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Ok... So theese are the steps?

Call custumer service and renew your contract, and you will get a credit for that....

It will not affect your upgrade, but were does the credit goes, to your bill or to your phone purchase?
[HTC EVO 3D] arvinsheet:
You will get the credit off your bill. You can purchase the phone anywhere. But you have to renew the contract before you buy the phone ONLY at customer care.
[HTC EVO 3D] arvinsheet:
This I'm not sure. It's worth a call though.
[HTC EVO 3D] lkctd8:
we did this all the time when I worked for sprint. It was usually a $50-70 bill credit per line that the customer was upgrading. Then on top of that you still can upgrade where ever you want as long as you extend the contract first through customer care. A lot of times if you have already done the upgrade and you call in saying you were told about the credit they will still give it to you but its not as seemless of a process as if you were to call in first.
[HTC EVO 3D] eduardmc:
you get credit per account o per line. i have 3 lines in a family plan
[HTC EVO 3D] arvinsheet:
per line..
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Ok. I have an Evo. I WANT the Evo 3D. Before they split Premier into two levels, I would have been eligible in August to upgrade. My contract ends I think 8/1/12, but I can upgrade 6/1/12. If I call and add another year to my contract (to make it 2013), you're saying they would credit me?
[HTC EVO 3D] rtb1982:
I tried to get the credit applied via the online chat but was told you could only get an 150 upgrade or the 75 extenstion. After calling in and dropping the words purchasign two evo 3d's this friday the rep wa quick to offer me 50$ per line but not 70 so i got 100 total. I could have argued for 70 but didnt want to rock the boat.
[HTC EVO 3D] eduardmc:
i have 3 lines in a family plan. They gave me just now $100 credit for my main line only, the contract was renew for that line while the others stayed the same. Should i try more credit for my second line too since in a few hours i'm going to radioshack to get my 2 evos 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vandelay007:
After 3 failed calls and a failed chat - I threw out a hail mary and sent out an email - they wrote back already, told me it has been escalated and to call them and press option 8 - when I did, they told me that even though I wasn't supposed to get the credit that they would do it this time -

so maybe for any of you not getting it - email is the way to go -
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
Thanks for the info... I called they gave me $50 credit but had to be done prior to extending the contract. So do it today for those picking it up tomorrow...
[HTC EVO 3D] masbirdies:
I have 7 lines on a family plan (yes, that's right...I got them to make an exception and allow 2 extra). 3 of the lines are past their 2 year contract. I called and politely asked for a credit for the 3 lines that are out of contract. I was immediately given $75.00 per line or $225 total. Very happy with Sprint!
[HTC EVO 3D] texasez:
After being turned down for the loyalty credit, I called this number and got $70 per line and an upgrade for my second line 3 months early. What a deal.

Sprint would be on the top of my list except they would not give me an appointment to get my 3d tomorrow. I ordered online instead of standing in line at the Sprint store.

I asked when I put my deposit down if they would set appointment and I was told there would be appointments. The only thing I gained by preordering is I am guaranteed a phone.

Just not going to stand in line.

So I had an interesting conversation with upper management retentions...

Basically he said he would only be able to offer me 51 dollars which happened to be the cost of my plan minus my monthly discount... he said that the offer for an account renewal could only equal the price I paid for 1 month. But he also said that new promotions for renewals would come out after the Evo 3D launch... he recommended that I wait for them and not take the current renewal promotion. He said wait for a month or two...

What say you? Was he bluffing?
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
Wasn't able to get it due to having an Employee Referral plan. Lame.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
I got $70, and the rep told me this:

Extend contract and then buy phone ($199) = $70 credit

Buy phone ($199) and then extend contract = $0 credit since buying the phone already extended the contract.

Well I just got off the phone with them and they claim my accoutrements is not elgable for the credit even tho I'm 4 months past the expreration of my contract I guess ill try again tomorrow
