[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
I was just looking over the procedure for flashing a different radio on the Inspire and it requires the Android SDK. It also says to open a terminal and type the listed commands. Unfortunately, I could never get any help with understanding the Android SDK or ADB push/pull stuff. And it doesn't say whether the terminal is the command prompt in Windows or some specific one for the Android SDK. Also, I could never get the SDK to work in my Vista laptop. I do have a WinXP desktop, but using the SDK isn't really going to happen. Most of the responses I ever got...and other people ever got...for help with knowing what to do with the SDK and ADB push/pull is simply "read, read, read". That's a typical answer from people who already knows all there is about the stuff and can't comprehend how other may not be able to understand it by reading. They seem to be limited in their life experience so much so that they can't relate to the vast difference and abilities among humanity.

For one thing, someone asking for help should be a sufficient clue that there are people who can't learn this stuff by reading the vague and complex instructions associated with the SDK. So, in all likelihood I won't be rooting my Inspire. The rooting may be easy, but rest of the business after rooting certainly isn't. Mainly because there just is no help understanding ADB.

I think I even remember someone saying Linux is required for most of the ADB stuff.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Where are you getting your information as far as needing the Android SDK to flash a radio?

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the desire hd radio thread.

Well, you absolutely do not need the SDK to flash a radio. That method is the least safe way of doing it, and if I'm not mistaken, requires eng s-Off.

To avoid all of that... See the inspire only radio thread in the dev section. Be sure to read post #1 completely, and use the hboot-flashable PD98IMG.zip files available in that post #1.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike6a:
Ditto, at first I thought this is great why bother after owning a Touch Pro 2 and installing custom Roms, but once I rooted I have never looked back and am so glad I went through the process which is really not as difficult as it may seem, thamks to Bubby and all the others that make it easy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DiamondJay20:
just use the hack kit, it does it all for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Got to it from the sticky at the top of the Inspire dev thread. Radio flashing

This is information XDA'ers want people to read and follow. But when we do read and follow it, other XDA'ers say it isn't the way to do it. It's a pretty bad unfunny joke when you are flung about like a rag doll trying to know what the proper way is.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Unfortunately that sticky has not been updated. I understand your confusion, and you certainly went about getting the information in a completely reasonable way... A sticky.

And I'm not saying that method is wrong. It's not wrong, it works, but has been discovered to be overkill... Since that information came out, a newer, more straightforward method that doesn't require the potentially dangerous eng s-Off to be done to the phone, has been widely accepted as a superior alternative.

There's a new thread in the dev section, its not stickied (it should be, but hasn't been yet), called the "inspire only radio thread." I'll go get the link and update this post, momentarily.

(That's just the nature of these things I guess, some stuff is going to get improved upon, and we can only request the author of the stickied post to edit it to include the new method, and to make a clarification on the difference between methods. When or if that update will occur is up to the author of the post.)

Edit:

Here
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
I appreciate it immensely. Unfortunately for you, you will get the reputation of being a genuine help on XDA...lol ...there will be people who will put you to work helping them out. No rest for the weary.... :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] d1nonlyhogfan:
Exactly what I was going to suggest, as I had the same issue with the first card I tried (SanDisk 2GB). I tried it 3 or 4 times and never could get it to work, so I just used the one included with my Inspire, and, Voila!
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Marty- I was more referring to how the phone is stock, compared to what it can be. My phone running gingerbeast is similiar now to your(or my old) iPhone 4. I can go days without charging, instead of A day if I was lucky stock

If you really want to learn how set up and use adb in windows, its simple- pm me ill walk you through it. I don't use windows, but I've set the sdk up in there before- its simple.

Linux(all I use) involves a few extra steps- but you don't need drivers to get it to work
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Lol. No problem. Maybe that reputation of being helpful will work to counteract the reputation I fear I may be developing with others as a "search before posting buzz killer." :p

Thank you, i'll flash that when i get at her home.
[Atrix 4G General] ekerbuddyeker:
So I got the sesnation yesterday for 24 hours on TMOB. Took it back today. What a dissapointment.

Once again my Atrix has trumped a device IMHO. First the Inspire then the SGS2 and now the Sensation

. I always thought I preferred Sense but after Atrix plus launcherPro, Sense feels so heavy! PLUS Atrix runs video so much more smoothly than the sensation. Also sound on the sensation was really low, especially the spealerphone. Whites are better and I think images clearer and brighter on the Atrix. Camera is marginally better on Sensation. Battery much worse on Sensation. GPS about the same. Internal memory is worse with same apps on Sensation. I don't know why. Screen size difference is marginal.

Forget what quadrant says, when I ran the same apps on both the load up time was practically the same.

I has the SGS2 for a couple of weeks and I think that's better than the Sensation but I think the Atrix, with its HDMI out, and peripherals (hacked!) Beats them both.

This device is a workhorse. It can take everything I have thrown at it.

In glad I stuck with the Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] lesonal:
The sensation over heats way too much ..the camera is really nice though ...
[Atrix 4G General] stratax:
oh wow.. thanks for this info. this is very sad. yeah i dont really use hdmi out but its there.. haha. i love my camera though ;D and with the pentile display on the atrix we have alot more advantages. i honestly dont care about the pixelation on the notrification bar and SOME icons. it DOESNT happen on normal pictures. so.. i am kinda glad i stuck with the atrix, think of our atrix with unlocked bootloader and custom ROMs. this device would own all out there (besides camera wise). and looks. lol, sensation looks amazazaaaaaing.
[Atrix 4G General] stratax:
Atrix has been reported to as well, and SGS II. G2x is only one i havent heard having the issue. so... haha must be the dualcore with no fan? and no the sensation isnt overheating (i think). its aluminum so its going to feel more hot since it is a like conducter. kind of like a computers heat sink..
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
So you run launcher pro on the Atrix but kept Sense on the Sensation? That doesn't quite seem fair.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Who buys a Sensation after an Atrix in hopes of a better phone, doesn't know a sh*t about PDA's at all. Big RAM / ROM matters a lot.
[Atrix 4G General] ekerbuddyeker:
What a dickhead comment. Practically everything that is out there suggests the Sensation is a wonderful device. It must be hard for you, knowing that you are the smartest guy on the internets, especially when no one else thinks so.
[Atrix 4G General] Semseddin:
Nobody asked you how you'd describe the shape of your head but i am sorry if my post touched you badly. ;) Anyway, at the least you know what's right or wrong, that's why you keep coming back to Atrix.

Peace !
[Atrix 4G General] ekerbuddyeker:
It took you that long to figure out a response? The point is this is a public discussion forum not a place where you need to prove how smart you are. Anyway, weapons away. Life's too short.
[Atrix 4G General] NibblerWeather:
Thanks for the post. I have been curious about the sensation too.

My biggest gripe with my atrix is the creaking battery cover. My phone does not feel solid at all
[Atrix 4G General] nohcho:
Mine was creaking as well. I purchased a ruberized battery door from cnn.cn and it is much better. No creaking watsoever plus it looks cool.
[Atrix 4G General] Staunch:
I am glad to hear this.... alot. Having just released the Atrix here in Australia, and knowing that the Sensation was coming out here very soon, I'm glad that my impatience has paid off for once.

Sorry to go off topic, but...

With the growing number of people the world over, loving the Atrix, surely Motorola will soon wakeup to them selves and unlock the bootloader when the Gingerbread upgrade is rolled out.

Also, Atrix with Launcher Pro... heavenly!!! (IMHO)
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Check out "HeLauncher" in the Android Market.

It allows for various themes, including a very eerily close "HTC Sense"...
[Atrix 4G General] falconeight:
I would rather own an x10 than an atrix. Blur is junk!
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
In the Atrix forum in a Sensation thread loving the x10. You seem confused lol.
[Atrix 4G General] armonwilson888:
i was just thinking about getting the sensation then i read about the locked bootloader... although i love my atrix i will likely never buy another phone with a locked bootloader.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
HTC bootloaders are easier to break through. The battery and subpar RF are a totally different story... ;)
[Atrix 4G General] k0sun7eash3d:
I love my x10 as well. Hell, i still use it when I go places where I know my phone has a greater chance to be damaged, like when I'm golfing or going to the beach. But there's no way that it's better than the Atrix or Sensation. Even with a custom rom, it's still massively slower compared to the newer generation of phones.
[Atrix 4G General] kdoodle:
G2X has reports of screen bleeding, market is broken if updated and several other issues. Other than that, it's fantastic. The colors are very vibrant also as though it was Superamoled
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
They're unlocking the sensation soon.
[Atrix 4G General] armonwilson888:
I just read that in their forum I will definately get it once it gets unlocked but not untill then. Also read they don't even have root access yet.
[Atrix 4G General] joshyy_rey:
You mean the phone that launched with eclair... I hated my x10 haha ill agree blur is junk but there is no word to describe sonys timescape...
[Atrix 4G General] Made2Last:
Eclair? Donut. Just barely got eclair on at&t
[Atrix 4G General] stratax:
It doesnt have a samoled. lol i meant heating issues. tmobile announced that they took it off the shelfs thats how plauged it was!!! hahahahahahaha XD
[Atrix 4G General] joshyy_rey:
That's it...thanks I thought donut but that was so ridiculous it didn't seem right lol
[Gen8 General] Assassin914:
Hi, i found the way how to play all gameloft games on archos 32, i think that its working on all archos without multitouch. You must have UrukDroid or Churlis root...

Copy this file "device.A70S.xml" twice from "/system/etc/permissions/" to SD and first file rename to "device.A32.xml" and second file to "device.A32SD.xml" and than copy this files to "/system/etc/permissions/" and replace. This will fool your system, now you have multitouch writetd in hardware features. Sorry for my bad English ;)

I tried Hawx, Assassins Creed and Fast 5.

Another vote for Qik.

Guess I have a long way to go to catch you guys with those huge post counts.
[Thunderbolt General] jharris0221:
I, too, would like to get my post count up, but at least make it useful!

Latest leaked Gtalk has video. You can try to install Gtalk 1.3 if you are on GB 2.3+ . See this thread: forum.xda-developers DOT com/showthread.php?t=1056793

It will require ADB, though. Or you can flash it with recovery mode.
[Thunderbolt General] irvine32:
You guys are taking yourself too seriously on your post counts. He asked a question what am I doing wrong and I simply replied gingerbread doesn't work with skype.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I'm on FroYo so I use Skype but Tango seems fairly popular cross-platform.
[Thunderbolt General] BlackHoleSlam:
Here is something u will learn take everything as a joke on here unless u know its not I was joking around
[Thunderbolt General] irvine32:
I hear ya bud that's why I had a smile on my post about the post count.
[Thunderbolt General] irvine32:
Back on topic, tango has worked great for me across every platform.
[Thunderbolt General] BlackHoleSlam:
I never used tango and probably will only use oovoo because all of my friends use it on their computers I don't know anyone who has a ffc so they just use oovoo as its the easiest

[Nook Color General] Mark Read:
I'm looking for insight on why my "adb install" command sometimes works and sometimes does not. Again to be clear, I was able to use the command several times successfully, but not consistently.

This week I purchased the Nook Touch, and using the wiki I was able to root it successfully. With much patients and effort I was able to get all the apps loaded up, accept Button Savior Root ver. 1.1.1

As I have been doing this I have had problems with "adb install". Sometimes it will load the .apk file and sometimes it will not. I have tried renaming the .apk files, moving them to other directories.... and sometimes, these tricks will work.

Here is a sample error message I am getting. Any insights would be appreciated, my nook experience will be easier with Button Savior loaded.

[Nook Color General] life64x:
The adb driver will sometimes just kick off for some reason. This happens on my nook and transformer. I will be doing something then it will stop responding. Then I just simply plug back the cable after I pull it out and it works fine. Frustrating as crap along with drivers not installed message even when I just used the damn thing connected to my computer a few seconds earlier. If I knew why it did that....I would be happy. What is worse is when you plug the tablet in and then it says device not found...

I just got a new motorola defy with what I assume is a red lense. It clearly looks different then my old green lense defy when I compare them side by side. I decided to take a photo to test the file size type, and it makes a pretty audible noise. the focus is also way louder. Is this typical?
[Defy General] rachit2588:
yep i think its all ok..cuz i had too the same red lens sound..when you turn the camera module on you will find some "click click clikc" noise like thing...yeah its normal...!!
[Defy General] Mr. XXX:
+1 Same «noise» on my red lense.

Yes, my Defy with red lens too is loud :) I think that this is normal.
[Defy General] klickig:
can confirm. think its normal.
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Thanks guys. I just never seen it mentioned in any other thread before. I guess camera noise is a good indication of lense color. My lense clicks 3 times as it turns on, as Mr.XXX pointed out.

This camera module. Ive been testing out the camera and I can honestly say that coming from the green lense, its a MAJOR improvement.
[Defy General] agent__orange:
hi, does your camera ui's "white box" moves when you touch it or just brings up the menu?
[Defy General] LeoShi:
It's quite normal,The noise means Auto focus motor is working good.

The motor works to change the distance between lens and camera sensor,

So that you can focus on your target.
[Defy General] vkhanorkar:
Yup me too.
[Defy General] om4gus:
I am using 2.3.4 ROM. I can drag it to change camera focus. But if I activate face detection in settings, the white box disappear and will make several white box depend on how many face detected.

My lens is red too, and make cracking sound while opening camera app. I thought it's broken at first.
[Defy General] specially_foru:
how you updated your Motorola Defy to 2.3.3 gingetbread. please give me procedure.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
What Cam app are you using?? My CM7 cam app is pretty basic and has none of the features yoou mentioned :( I'd like to have the face detection thing and the touch-focus!!

And yeah, red lens here and the same <noise> each time I open any program that uses the cam.
[Defy General] farsight73:
I think you would need the blur camera to have those face detection and manual drag focus.

UUUUFFFFFF i was really worried with this noise issue, i live in Cuba so is very hard to change/repair or do anything in your device because we have no service centers here. thanks all of you for info.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr0omz:
i cannot seem to find a straight answer to whether ALL nexus s' ship carrier unlocked. i live in philippines and the phone is being offered through globe although i plan to use the phone under the smart network. i was under the impression that google shipped all of these unlocked but i'm hearing from few people that it is PROBABLY locked to globe. i also see unlocking services that offer unlock codes for this particular phone on their websites implying that some of them do come carrier locked. can anyone confirm if these are all unlocked or not? thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the nexus s is not "carrier unlocked". it never was advertised as. even though 2g(edge) will probably work on any carrier, 3G(or 4G) is carrier spscific. thats why there are different versions of the nexus s. it will work on other networks as long as the 3G bands are the same. the nexus s is bootloader unlocked(well, you can unlock/lock it yourself).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr0omz:
isnt 3g/4g only carrier specific because of the carrier 3g frequency bands? i'm purchasing the phone here in the philippines which uses 900/2100mhz to connect to 3g as it is the standard operating 3g band for all europe and asia. my main concern is whether i will need an unlock code for the phone to even work with a sim card from a different carrier than the one i originally bought it for. 2g will work on every carrier and 3g will work only if that device supports your carriers 3g frequency band but before connecting to either one, the phone has to be unlocked and pass the "sim check"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
ahhh..

if the frequency is the same, itll work. no sim unlock code needed. i missunderstood, sorry.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr0omz:
thanks for the quick response. no need for apologies... easy to get mixed up with all this cellphone termanology nowadays =). i just didnt want to say 'unlocked' because it wouldve been too vague. 'sim lock' probably wouldve been a better term in my original post.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
None of them have any carrier lock. However you'll likely want the correct phone for your 3g frequencies. You could use the wrong one, you just won't get HSPA :)
