You need to cache your map. Just search the map when on wifi and it will cache automatically. Then turn on GPS and wait for a sattelite lock.After that you should be using the map without any problems.

I recently say a you tube vid of someone playing android games on a big screen hd tv, with the atrix, my question is how do I do this? I have searched high and low but dont see how, my android just displays a motorola logo on my tv when I hook up the hdmi...
[Atrix 4G General] alphadg21:
Its called hdmi mirroring. Both greyblur and gingerblur have this feature, if I remember correctly. But I believe it only works in portrait, not landscape.

Tried this just now with Gblur. Used webtop mode and played a game, okay a few games, of Angry Birds on the tv. It does work in ladscape. Double tap and hold to pull the bird back. Just awesome. I did not try the hdmi mirroring. Maybe later..

I am merely trying to install the new swype beta, I am currently trying to uninstall my current version of swype, now I have done the majority of the steps the only thing I am having trouble doing is giving the phone read/write access

as when I try: mkdir /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup I get an error because it's a read-only file system.

I am using ADB; the first line of the post I linked to says to enable R/W access if you're using Root Explorer... but I am not, so how can I accomplish this through adb?

Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Thanks for your time and patience

Edit: I believe adb is working to the extent it should... after I type in adb shell I do infact get a '#' before each line.

That's what I started with and When I went to write it to the sd card I couldn't because I couldn't find it in the folder
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimbo67:
You need to run 7zip and unzip the file to a .img file. The dowload comes through as a .img.gz file. When you have that, write the file you extracted to your usd with win32diskimager or what ever burn program you like.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad11:
I am able to get as far as it is downloading it to the sd card. I can see the progress bar and as it is at 80% or 90% it says it can't read the image file. what gives?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrociousNK:
What program are you using to copy the image to the sd card?

You may want to use win32diskimager or WinImage85 to copy image to SD card. You cannot simply copy files over to SD card.

Using any of these programs will reformat card in the process and copy image to SD card.

Make sure you're unzipping the installer and copying just single file from size agnostic installer. After the image is on SD card, go ahead and copy CM7 and Google Apps.

Insert SD card on NK and boot it, it will start installation automatically.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chad11:
I tried using win32diskimager and winimage but neither can do it. With win32diskimager I can't even find the file and with winimage I can find it but when it is downloading it says it can't read the image file
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimbo67:
With Win32diskimager ( What I use)--It will NOT see the file you need to burn to usd-Until you unzip the dowloaded file with 7zip. You MUST unzip the .img.gz file you download to get the extracted .img file for burning. Once you have it extracted to your desktop, click on the browse button in win32diskimager(the little folder next to the image line) and select the .img file. Select the drive you have your usd card mounted in (it will be a letter for your usb port), and click write.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrociousNK:
copy google apps to SD card. The installer should go ahead and install CM7 and google apps.

on mine it worked perfectly. it's not guaranteed that it works every time, but it worked for me so may want to give it a try and it will save you some time.

btw, on my earlier post I named the same program 2x, I meant to say win32diskimager or WinImage85. sorry about that.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] tackyjan:
I just got my dock and I noticed that there is very little space between the dock "slots" and the screen. If I install a screen protector (I already ordered one from Skinomi) do you think it will be too thick to use the dock? I am afraid the dock slots will push against the screen protector and smudge it or worse rip it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
I have the screen protector and the back skin.

Trust me, they will fit. It really isn't thick at all.

But, do be careful when you are installing them on the device. Use a lot of that water spray they give you. I think I saw a suggestion to dip the screen in a bath of water first. I used too little and had to redo it because the bubbles stayed. Now, the outer edge from where I re-peeled the protected doesn't stick to the device. It isn't too big to annoy me but it definitely doesn't look nice.

Because the screen is bigger on a tablet than on a phone, the application is just more frustrating to put on.

Oh, and just note that your screen will look like crap. It'll take a day or two to kick in.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tackyjan:
Thanks for the info!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kickingandscreaming:
I have one installed on my transformer. A few things about it.

1.) It does fit, makes sure to get the up part up. Look for the two holes for the camera. I screwed mine up and placed it on wrong, still works.

2.) The screen protector works very well with the dock, with out ripping or tearing. If you hold the tablet, you will see the edge of the screen is thinner then the area where the dock fully ends. This creates a impression in the screen protector where it is too snug. I have not notice any problems with it fitting in the dock, but it is snug enough to leave an impression.

3.) The quality of the shield is not up the same as bodyguardz or invisible shield. It has a tendency to dent and cut up pretty easy. Not insanely, but there is a difference between it and my phone, bodyguardz.

4.) The protector is very shiny and smooth. Which means you don't get the orange peel effect of the other protectors, but does not help viewing in sunlight.

5.) You need to makes sure you use ALL of the solution provided. It takes a lot more water and baby shampoo then the other protectors. Probably bigger screen and bigger protector, but I swear the sticky side is more sticky then the other protectors.

All and all I like the protector a lot. Even though it has a tendency to dent an damage easier then I would expect, I also will not abuse my tablet as much as my phone. I would buy it again, for the lifetime free replacements and price.

But in saying that for the same price and if they made them, bodyguardz and invisible shield are better, ie more durable, protectors.

I would give it an easy 8 out 10 points.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
Well, the lifetime warrenty is a bit dubious since you have to return the old protector to prove that it was damaged through use and not through poor application. I think you also have to pay to shipping. It seems that it'll cost the same a buying a new protector. Plus if your screen did mess up, I'm not sure why I would want a replacement of the same item.

It's not as good as my phone's protector (forgot the company) but it's still decent. I definitely feel more at ease with the protector on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
I don't see how tearing through use (docking) wouldn't be covered.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tackyjan:
actually, not true. i got some kind of film on my screen protector the first time i tried to install it. i took a picture of the protector and they sent me a new one in 3 days.

the funny thing is, my original order included BOTH a screen protector AND a carbon fiber skin. when i got my replacement in the mail there was a protector AND another skin! I think it was an oversight on their behalf. they just looked at my original order and replicated it.

so for the price of 1 screen protector and 1 skin i got 2 screen protectors (1 that i admittedly messed up) and 2 skins. :)

i should consider myself lucky (and skinomi a quality company). :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikethreeout:
Well, I guess that's good.

Did you still need to ship them back your old protector?

I guess they're more friendly in reality than their rules online. At any rate, I don't think I want to go through the hassle of reapplying it again anyway. (plus waiting for it to clear)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tackyjan:
nope, i threw it away.

oh and another thing, all of our contact was via email. didn't even have to talk to a 'live' person. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
I just received my Skinomi screen protector & didn't realized the installation was that involved. I guess I am just used to the screen protectors I have used with my PDA's & phones that just stuck to the screen on their own. Anyway I don't want to screw this up.

What is the purpose of the solution?

Is it an adhesive?

Does it aid in the installation in being to move the screen protect around to adjust its placement?
[Defy General] flisbao:
Hello all...

I bought a defy and I´m from Brazil...

Here is the story...

I was using a sim card from "Oi", but the cell kept rebooting, so I send to Motorola assistance, and they returned my phone twice doing only the the factory reset, then after the second time I got my phone and installed the 2.2 version. But it kept rebooting, so I sent to motorola, but the only thing they have done was installing the 2.2 version again.

And then I changed my sim card to another operator "Tim" because it could be that Tim had a better signal and a sim card compatible to Defy. But it didnt work.

So I installed the Retail 2.2 version , but didnt work and I tried the Tim 2.2 version and didnt work. In every situation my phone keeps rebooting...

I installed the 2.2 official version many times...

I think i forgot to mention is that my defy randomly reboots like sometimes 3x in a row and others it takes longer. But everytime i use some app it reboots.

So I´d kept the Log through LogCat and I find this...

06-09 20:52:27.805 I/DEBUG ( 3654): debuggerd committing suicide to free the zombie!

06-09 20:52:27.829 I/ServiceManager( 1217): service 'search' died

06-09 20:52:27.829 I/ServiceManager( 1217): service 'batteryinfo' died

I dont know why this is happening...Can anyone help me with this? What can I do to solve this problem?

The entire Log is in this link: http://www.4shared.com/file/q7l8jjbj/log_defy.html

Thanks in advance, and I tried to post this on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956659 but I cant post there because I´m new to this forum.

I had the same it's a motoblur issue, perform both resets, from recovery first, then skip set up and factory restore. When it restarts again skip setting up blur , notice how the default layout is different, now set up blur and market, just leave it sync then reboot holding .both volume buttons down to enter safe mode, test your accounts all work, then do a normal reboot. After months of rebooting this cured mine.
[Defy General] flisbao:
Isnt there a fix or something? How many times more or less should i do to make my defy work? Hehe its seems a lot of rebooting... Thanks
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
I have this same problem bro, what works for me is having a full battery when I boot
[Defy General] flisbao:
But it boots randomly, with full or almost full battery...
[Defy General] mpiekp:
The important bit is skipping blur set up. The default layout is then different.
[Defy General] flisbao:
Hey I was about to send a reply saying that it has fixed, but when I was going to do that it rebooted... But I dont know if the phone rebooted because of the Juice defender not rooted or because I was using XDA app for android. Anyway it certainly became more stable but I wasnt using wifi just using 3G.

So I´ll post my recent log saying what made the crash now. If somebody help me with that I would appreciate a lot.

Thanks for the answers... Btw I was thinking about to put a rom without blur, is it possible? Thanks again

[Defy General] flisbao:
I did see that post but it didnt helped. I think that for my defy to work i have to install a not blur rom. What u think?
[Defy General] salingpusa:
i am not aware of blur being the culprit in rebooting issues, but if flashing a new rom would fix it then, it is worth a try. do nandroid first and flash full sbf so you can still revert back. if it doesnt solve it, maybe it is manufacturer defect. so return it if it is under warranty
[Defy General] riobenny:
why dont u just root ur phone, and try to install another ROM? there are few rom better than froyo and quit stable. hopefully that can solve ur problem.

and if u still want froyo, i think u can try to install blur-less ROM in ur device. good luck
[Defy General] defy.man:
I got my defy 2 weeks ago. I found it rebooted randomly, and I couldn't get the trend at what conditions it rebooted.

Finally I send my defy to Motorola to get fix. The CS people told me there is hardware issue on the phone. Right now with the new hardware, I don't face any random rebooting issue. Even after I root it with stock rom, using 2nd init, running setVsel for battery saving, no more reboot.

Personally, I do think this can be a hardware problem. Hope at your side they will able to change hardware for you.
[Defy General] clim30j:
Mine just rebooting too

Dear flisbao (",)

Hope all is well with you.

I just have the rebooting issue, like what you said (stayed on for 2-5mins before it goes off to reboot; phone never reboots in bootloader or recovery mode).

What i did was:

- i fell in love with Cyanogen mod 7.1.0-11 & 7.2-rc1 recently (thanks to Quarx & all in CM for your hard work);

- i had 32gb microsd card & decided to spent my hard-earned $ on a 64gb microsd card for this wonderful phone (due to CM, not Motorola);

- Sandisk microsd 64gb works AFTER erasing in Settings -> Storage;

- then, using Symantec Ghost 8.2 to clone my 32gb microsd card into 64gb;

- after putting in the clone-completed 64gb microsd card, the phone starts rebooting as described above;

- i tried to put back my own original 32gb microsd card, but the rebooting still happens!?!;

- in Recovery mode, i "wiped cache" & then go to "advanced", select "wipe dalvik cache", but problem remains;

- i formatted the the 64gb from Recovery mode, and manually copied the contents of the 32gb to 64gb using my WinXP computer, but the problem still remains!;

- (my solution) in bootloader mode, i go to "Tools" -> "share sd card", then from my WinXP computer, i can see the microsd card as Mass storage device, i deleted ONLY the folder ".android_secure" which is more than 2GB large.

- now there is no rebooting, and i just need to reinstall my apps from the Play Store, & my settings and data are all still there *sweet*.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys, I don't find myself in need of help too often, but I really could use some now. I tried flashing decks latest 1.2x, and got stuck in a bootloop. Well, I have been having trouble flashing roms lately, so I decided to format my sd card. I took the card, and started formatting it. In the meantime, I put my old 8gb card back in the Evo to try to restore an old nandroid. My recovery (amon Ra 2.3) keeps telling me that it can't mount the sd card.

I get error

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory) E:Can't mount sd card

Well, I'm kind of stuck now. I can't restore a nandroid, because my sd card won't mount. I can't boot the phone, because my flash of deck's 1.2x won't boot, and I can't flash anything else due to not being able to mount the sd card. I'm sort of stuck. I'm really hoping there is a way for me to restore a nandroid backup via ADB without needing access to my sd card. So far, Ive found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614016, but I'm not sure if that will work, I'm about to try. Does anyone know if I can have a nandroid backup on my computer, and flash it via ADB without needing my sd card? PLEASE HELP me guys, if I've ever needed help before, it's now.

ADB does recognize my device when I'm in recovery, or when my phone is stuck bootlooping, ADB sees it then too. Is there anything I can do? Thanks a bunch
