[Defy General] adrian.lupas:
Everyone on the forum says Inspire is available only through AT&T and only supports 1900.

So if i buy the Defy above, can i run it in Romania on 3G without problems?
[Defy General] adrian.lupas:
Sorry for the double post, but this needs it's own post.

The above Motorola Defy i'd like to buy is 2.1 Android and MotoBlur enabled. Can i use MotoBlur in Orange Romania? Also, what are my chances of updating to Froyo, since it is made in the US? Froyo is not available as a stand-alone update for Romanian users, but do i still have a chance to get it this way?

And what's the best program for rooting it? Should i do it after i update to Froyo or before?
[Defy General] dew.man:
The phone you linked to is an unlocked model. I did not see where it states which band it supports, but you said it's 900/2100 thereby making it the "typical" unlocked Defy. They are all made in China, BTW.

Your best bet is to get the phone, immediately root it, and install CM7 (instructions posted elsewhere). CM7 comes with an application called baseband switcher which will tell the phone which frequencies to use for the 3g signal. You may have to try a couple different locals/settings to get the optimum performance, but as long as your carrier is 2100 and the phone supports 2100, one of the settings should work.
[Defy General] adrian.lupas:
What about Froyo and MotoBlur? Will i get to use those down here in this sh**y country if i buy that phone? The guy who's selling the phone is telling me i can indeed update to Froyo.

As for the bands, i'm not worrying, my carrier uses 2100, the phone uses 2100 so it shouldn't be a problem.

So basically what i want is to get that phone, update it to Android 2.2 then root it and use it like this. With Android 2.2 Stock and rooted. Would this be okay?
[Defy General] grannyrogers:
Hey don't worry about froyo. There are several froyo Sbf you can flash on your phone. You can use baseband switcher to change 3g frequency. MOTOBLUR should work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adorialea:
After I updated to stock Froyo, my phone started muting during calls. No face pressing of buttons, and the mute button wasn't on. It just muted itself, and the only way for me to fix it was to turn speakerphone on and off. I thought rooting the phone and putting a custom ROM (Syndicate Frozen) on the phone might help, so I did just that. The problem is still on-going.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any solution? My Epic is my main phone and it's done this on a few very important phone calls a few times already. Before I take it into Sprint I just was curious if there's a simple, less having-to-deal-with-face-to-face-tech-support kind of way.

Thank you. I apologize if this has been answered already. :o
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mykie242:
Is the phone muting your voice so that the caller can't hear you, but you can still hear the caller?

I had the exact same thing happen with my Epic and I ended up having Sprint exchange it for another phone.

Out of curiosity, what happens if you turn on speakerphone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adorialea:
Ahh, yes that's exactly what happens. They can't hear me, but I hear them perfectly fine. Usually what I hear is, "Are you there? Hey, are you there?" a few times before I realized what happened, and no matter how many times I tell my mom to just stay on the line and I'll fix the problem in two seconds after it dawns on me what happened, she always hangs up in a huff. :)

When I turn on speakerphone they can hear me right away, then I just turn it back off and everything is fine the rest of the call. It doesn't even happen every call, which is the best part. I'll be in the middle of a 10 minute conversation and it will mute itself, then the next phone call will last 45 minutes with no problems.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joells1:
Does the mute icon show it's on? Did you try backing up and simply switching roms? If there's too much trouble, odin ec05 and take it in to repair if the problem still exists.

Joel
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joells1:
When using odin

BTW, when using ODIN start from having the phone off and connected to the computer. hit the power and number 1...

Use the instructions on the odin page

TAKE OUT THE BATTERY BEFORE STARTING

mine always got stuck unless i took the battery out.

Joel
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adorialea:
Thank you for the tips, ya'll. I'm going to first update the ROM I'm using now (as there is an update out). If that doesn't help it's off to Sprint I go.

Thanks again. :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdeeandhisepic:
when you go make sure its a corporate store they have the techs and tell them you already called customer service (dont bother calling them there gonna tell you to factory reset...........every time i have called i can hear that that most if not all are reading from a scrip) then the tech will try to get out of helping you by saying its the towers (bull sh$%) that the most popular answer you will get........ And for the bad news the phone that u will get is a referb

did you try to updat the PRL and profile?

AND FOR GOD SAKES if your rooted got back to stock 2.2 EC05
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmkidd:
My phone did the same thing after the upgrade. It is random though. The phone mutes during calls randomly but mute button doesn't light and my face hasn't hit it. I've been trying to find out how to correct the problem, but my Epic was working fine until the upgrade.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
I can't sync to Google and I have 1,200+ database entries

(about 200 are actual contacts, the rest of either phantom or

empty entries, Google sync created). I'd like to clean up the

database but don't know what I need to do.

Does anyone have a utility to remove duplicate contacts,

either from the exported vcf file or the live database?

I can run a utility on any of Win32, Unix or the phone itself.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0soPolar:
Other than manually, I'm not entirely sure.

After reading your post, I would have to guess that you're in the data industry? I had never heard someone say de-dupe before I was introduced to the business myself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardware9:
log in to gmail, on your computer, under contacts, you can fix you duplicates there, and make all the changes you want, when it syncs again it will be fixed.

hope that works for you, did for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersobbie:
I would say go to gmail and export the contacts to CVS. then make the changes there... delete all contact in gmail... and import the shorter 200 list.

To me I think that would be the easiest way.

[General Questions and Answers] wursterl:
Hello and first of all thanks to robocik, who created this rom!

I am referring to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789830

I am using a HTC Desire and installed the HTC Desire HD Rom several months ago until I decided to install the new DeSensenized Rom about 2 weeks ago to improve my phone's performance. However, after a few days I got the well-known "Low on space" massage. I do not have a ton of apps installed on my device so I think this is not the problem.

I noticed that after the message appeared for the first time (phone storage <15MB) the free space decreased even more to now 2MB even though I moved some apps 2 sd card and did not install any further apps :confused:.

Is it necessary in order to install this rom to partition the sd card in any way since I was using the Desire HD rom before, which worked well in this concern?

Well thanks for reading and any advice you might have :)!

Cheers, Robin.

PS: I already reinstalled the rom (full wipe), however I did not format the SD card. Unfortunately, the same error appeared again.

Is there any other Nintendo DS emulator then nds4droid which is the slowest crap I ever seen?

Any infos or ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] punshkin:
as far as i know NDS4Droid is the only one there is.

Since it is quite new it may get some improvements but since emulating isn`t easy i dont expect a fluid NDS Emu for the next 2 years
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] moxdown:
Actually there is the Tiger Labs nds emulator as well. But the developer of that, tiger king , hasn't updated it so i guess nds4droid is better. A few people emailed the nds4droid developer and he said that he is working hard on making the app run on dual core phones. Have some patience it'll be ready in about a month. Or you could donate to him and send him an email asking about his progress
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Deleted member 1893434:
I don't know if there's another NDS emulator, but please, respect the work of the devs ! Moreover, it is still in development, so improvements are to come !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] XEURONIX:
NDS4DROID is too slow to be used.

Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] davis2503:
Jeah, on my galaxy s2 you cant play any game normal!!!

I wanted to check whats good and whats bad :-D

The bad:

Dont support dual core

Cant read zipped roms

Xxxxxxxxxtra slow

Controls can be beater

Big price

Almost no updates

And much more .......

The "GOOD" :

That this emu exsists

But realy nothing good :-)

Oh, and the pokemon pearl is working normal, but playing it you can get realy angry :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Logarithms:
It is slow now, but is likely to be quicker later. I'm also using it so I know what you mean by slow - it's a nightmare, really - but that's only because the application is still using the phone as a single core device. With later updates, it may be able to utilize the SGSII's dual core functions for smoother game play.

For now, we just have to wait - or you could donate to the dev. :)

Pokemon seems to be the few playable games though - Platinum does lag a bit though, and am going to try Black.

Hi Guys,

New android developer here. I am currently developing an application to connect to an existing SOAP webservice.

I have successfully connected to the webservice but now I am trying to connect using credentials.

After entering the strings for username and password I keep hitting the same error message which is:

SoapFault - faultcode: 'soap:Server' faultstring: 'System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

upon capturing the error I receive - org.ksoap2.SoapFault:null

I have spoken to who developed the webservice and he believe's it is because for the credentials there is an object within an object, is there away to call for an object that sits inside an object? example below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

[Bada Software and Hacking General] duxxyuk:
Very similar problem to the Accelerometer thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094382) but this is about the magnetometer instead.

By using an application that uses the magnetometer and not the GPS like MapHiker and/or the system test (*#0*# then # for SENSORS) The direction indicated by the MAG sensor is off in my case +5 degrees.

Comparing this to what is shown in an application that relies solely on the GPS direction (something like MAPNAV) the anomaly can be seen. The GPS heading can also be seen in the system GPS menu (*#4097*4097#) when the system is correctly locked on to GPS satellites and not via the Network.

So my question is : does anyone know of a code or the correct place in the debug menu (*#197328640#) where I might be able to correct this please?

All the best, D.

As I think I know a bit about this phone, feel free to ask me questions via PM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lightfire:
My wife and I were running out of time to leave for a small trip to a place that is located way out in the country down several-turn dirt roads. I plugged in the general address in Copilot on the xformer as we were leaving. Plugged the audio out into my in-dash radio. PERFECT! It took us direct to the building. Better experience than any GPS I have owned.

Downloaded USA maps and put them on SD card. No problems, EXCEPT the desktop application "Copilot central" does not recognize the transformer with my win7(64) desktop. So tech support gave me an alternative download. Transformer will download the maps via wi-fi, but one state took a long time and I imagine the USA map would take a significant longer time to download.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] n25philly:
If you just started using copilot, a little advice, check the registration. When you enter the information to activate it, it will take the information whether it is right or not and will not tell you if it's wrong until a 15 day period goes by. I learned the hard way as I missed an event I paid $40 for because I had to try and activate it right before I had to leave because their activation system is so bad.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Ok guys, before you start flaming, bear with me:

First of all, to get it out of the way, with the advent of 2nd init, a locked bootloader no longer prevents custom roms (CM7 2.3.4 runs fine on Defy and Droid X even though they only come with 2.2).

However, by having a locked bootloader, it is impossible for the user to hard-brick their device as no matter how bad you screw up, you can still always flash an SBF to recover. This would not be the case with an unlocked bootloader where someone accidentally overwrote their bl.

Thoughts?

<FLAMESUITON>
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
I don't believe so. How would someone accidentaly overwrite their bootloader? The person flashing a new kernel will understand the risks involved with tweaking all this low level stuff.

How often do you ever see someone totally brick their device from flashing kernels?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsxrx7:
no

never a good thnig

LOTS of bricks were produced because people trying to unlock this thing
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
That's one way LOL

You don't really believe that, do you?

The by and large majority of users on this forum have very little understanding of what they're doing and are merely following the instructions posted. And I have seen plenty of "somebody please help me - I can't boot my device" threads!

Granted, a locked bootloader posses some difficulties/challenges for the true developers, but I'm coming around to the opinion that it also serves as a much needed buffer to the type of community that has become the norm on here. Just look at what's been going on in the dev forum since the Atrix came out: an experienced dev will start a thread, then 1k noobs post "is it done yet", or better yet start "demanding" support/results. The dev gets frustrated/irritated, voices his opinion, gets flamed, and moves to a different device. This has nothing to do with the locked bootloader (Moto Defy with a locked bootloader is now in the top 10 most installed/used devices for cyanogenmod), but more to do with the community/attitude...

Over the last few days alone, I have seen/been involved with at least a dozen bricks where a locked bootloader has saved someone's but and helped keep end-user device costs down (warranty).

Arg! I just don't know what to think anymore...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Yea but the only reason they were " saved by the boot loader" is because it's locked in the first place and they're trying to unlock it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
No you misunderstood - the soft-bricks that I've dealt with this weekend were on different devices with inexperienced people trying to flash their devices and missing a step here or using a wrong file there...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixoNova:
That's their fault. The guidelines are there, and it's the persons responsibility to know if something is going to brick their device, and it's their responsibility to follow all the instructions completely. Now, sometimes, the devs post some crappy tutorial, and it's a possible brick.

If they're on XDA, they know the risks.

Signed bootloaders present nothing but problems.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Not making excuses for them! Merely pointing out that the locked bootloader does not necessarily hamper customization, but does help keep device costs down.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixoNova:
It does hamper it down. Imagine a Samsung Captivate without the lagfix. I would've returned mine longggg ago if it hadn't been for that. That's not available with a locked bootloader.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
Not familiar with with Captivate, but I have a hard time believing that it could not have been fixed even with the locked bootloader. Why not? Heck, we can now overclock a locked kernel?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixoNova:
Kernel modules. Ours isn't functional just yet though. Still interacts with the kernel, it just isn't native.

And I don't believe converting all partitions to ext4 is possible without low level access.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dw77x:
About a week ago a friend of mine got a Mesmerize from work (no really a friend!). Since I have a Fascinate he has been coming to me with his questions. For some reason he wanted to change his main google account without doing a full wipe. He admits to clearing data on just about everything trying to get the phone request a new google log in. (Oddly this is not a real simple process? why google?)

Anyway, I got it changed for him and all seems well, except for one thing. His google talk will not launch. It will open and then quickly close. When you turn the phone on I can see on mine that he is logging in to google talk and if I send him a message he can receive it, strange?

Anyone have the apk, I could side load it and see if that works. What supporting files go with talk?

Here is a log of me attempting to open it several times.

hi there,

I am having problems with Lightning ROM 1.2. Cannot connect with the 3g network. I notice that the Lightning 1.2 uses CSC I9100XEUKD2 which is the one for the UK from what I gather.

I would like to flash the one for the Netherlands that came with the 'phone and see if it solves the 3g problem.

I have tried faction reset, wipe Dalvik cache, data cache, etc) but the 3g problem persists.

* Where would I download the Netherlands CSC file from?

* Would this screw up the phone as its running KE8/Lightning ROM?

3g NIC comes up, and is assigned an IP address, but cannot connect with anything.

The link is up:

/EDIT

Additionally, in the last hour, ADB can sometimes locate the device, and sometimes not...

# adb shell

error: device not found

This is getting really strange

Perhaps there is a way to flash everything back to full stock including any modified apps that were changed by the ROM. Essentially the way that Samsung delivered it. The equiivelent of a complete reinstallation in the same way one would format and reinstall a O/S on their home PC. However I don't know of any way to do this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgetmyname:
OK. Phone is now dead in the water. The USB won't charge anymore.

It recognises that the cable is plugged in, and then produces the on-charge indicator, but won't charge. This might explain why I cannot use adb to connect with the device.

I have turned off the i9100, and I suspect I shall have to post it back for repair.

However, before I do this I have to load the Samsung original stock firewares:

KE2 stock, the CSC for the Netherlands, and anything else that the Lightning ROM modified. Does anyone know where the files are for this?

There is only 15% of battery left, and the phone now looses 1% every 2 mins, which means I have only 30 mins to turn on the phone and flash the images before the phone is completly dead.

You could suggest buying a replacement battery but I don't have the spare money for this, nor think that I should because the phone is defective and should be repaired.

And I did not even drop it.
