[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e_asplundh:
can any one tell me if i will brick my evo if i try to run the sbf froyo file on it. a friend of mine just did it to his droid x and it worked. he said the website says it will work with evo gb with hboot 2.16. I will post the link after he sends it to me.

any info on this would be welcomed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e_asplundh:
or is it even possible to run for evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerrollus:
I've tried rolling back with a ruu and and old Rom and both have failed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e_asplundh:
problem solved!

watch a movie while charging my phone. it overheated and i took it strait into a sprint store and they swapped out for new evo still running 2.2

Would someone please be able to make the Touchwiz 4.5 Launcher by Fr4gg0r work for the nook color??

The launcher works, but needs to re-sized to like 6 icons on dock and the app drawer needs enlarged.
[EVO 4G General] Bush715:
I am visiting my brother this week and he wants me to root his evo. I have root all of my past android phones with no issue. My question is can I get a previous version of hboot and the rootable version of 2.3 not the one that is currently unable to be rooted. I have been reading and just haven't been able to find the answer. Any help would be appreciated since it hasn't been as simply as my fascinate and using Odin.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LordLugard:
A bit late to the party, aren't we....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
Did you wake up late yesterday and miss the several other posts about this? Clearly if you think it "works perfectly," this post doesn't surprise me, lol. It won't transfer any file except the formats it wants you to transfer, it doesn't integrate well with iTunes aside from music, and it puts movies in "Videos" directory, which is completely counter to everything Android does... a good early beta, but certainly far from "perfectly"
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
I haven't gotten my Tab yet, but will this be essential if I am to root via my Mac? (i.e., will adb connect or see the device on the Mac without the new Kies beta?)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
Nope, software is pointless\useless for rooting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
Ok, so once I get my Tab how will I be able to root it, given that I only have an iMac?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
Not sure, you should probably ask that in the rooting thread. I'm fairly certain ADB is generic, but the drivers might not work for Mac to enable your mac to be able to ADB into your Samsung. I have always used Parallels or Vmware Fusion to install windows and handle all my rooting needs. There's better support on the forums for windows rooters, so I just use windows on my mac when I need to root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
Not a bad idea for a worst case scenario. I already have Parallels on my iMac so I suppose if I had to I could use that...its just I'd have to relearn the ins and outs of rooting since I've always used the Mac side of things for rooting, and it took me forever to get the hang of that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
Well the process is the same, but before you can connect to a usb device your computer has to have the drivers... and Samsung is a bit different so it can be a little more challenging to get it to recognize the device. I hear people do it I'm just not willing to take the extra steps needed when compared to just booting into winblowz.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
So you mean you hear of people getting it to work on a Mac only what you're saying is you find it easier to just use Parallels instead?

And on that note, if I did do my rooting via Parallels I would still need to acquire the drivers for the Tab from Samsung, yes?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
I'm just saying that's why I did it :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
So I had another member in another thread reply to me about this topic saying he/she suggests getting a copy of Windows and using Boot Camp rather than Parallels, saying that he never had luck using Parallels for this sort of thing. Did you ever run into any difficulties in this way (i.e. getting drivers to load, getting devices to be recognized, etc??)?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gordita:
fyi...I installed this on my mbp and while transferring some avi's which were about 800-900MB in size, the app would repeatedly crash on me.

Afterwards, i tried to copy about 800 pics from my mac to the tab using kies and midway through, the app crashed again.

The way I got around this ''feature' is I started copying files in increments of 100 pics. this went fine.

With regards to the avi, the file copy was successful on my 4th attempt.

before the 4th attempt, I rebooted my mac and also the tab just to be sure...

suffice to say, I'm glad I did not buy the tab for myself. The person I bought it for owns only win xp pc's and my hope is that kies behaves much much better on a pc than on a mac...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
Never really had an issue, you just have to understand how port virtualization works, and how some devices want a more "real" port so you have to establish the connection, set as default to parallels, then re-establish that connection. Parallels will never be as solid as installing windows and natively booting to it, but it's pretty good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bella92108:
Mine pissed me off for the final time today, so I returned the tab. I love the device, love the idea of Android on a tablet, but I just can't do it with it being so early in it's development. Not having 1-click sync with iTunes, and easy support of a wide variety of movies without having to convert just kills it for me. Maybe in 6 months I'll try again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Windiddy:
still a beta

After I transfer a word document from mac to SGT10.1 via Kids, I was not able to find that document in NY tablet. Does Anybody know where it might be?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
Well I just received my tab, and Ive tried connecting and carrying out the instructions in the "Retail 3.1 CWM Recovery, Root & full back up" thread, but I've run into an immediate problem - after getting into APX mode, then plugging in via USB, Windows XP in Parallels is not recognizing the tab (it isn't showing up in the device manager). I know APX is successful, because I got a popup on my mac asking where the APX device should be opened (either in Windows or on the Mac). But unfortunately in the device manager it is nowhere to be found. Any tips or tricks on making this happen? I really know nothing about port virtualization :confused: :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] strangetml:
i'm so screwed up. i thought they never had the problem solved so today i finally installed boot camp. then i opened windows web browser to download it and saw the word "for Mac". I feel such a shame for myself. but I am indeed happy about that lol. DAMN. I am so depressed for my dumbness.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayroller:
Pretty obvious I know, but I take it you are in the UK? BBC blocks content to non-UK IP addresses - I'm sure you know this already, but just in case... ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianofaraby:
Lol. Sorry I am in the UK. I can get it to work on old sense roms no problem with stock browser and dolphin but no go on the newer sense stuff.

It may be that the BBC is not recognising my location. But I don't even get a message about being in the UK. Frustrating!
[Atrix 4G General] mvgc3:
Obviously with a contract, but that's kind of a given.

Does anybody think this will last? My family is switching to AT&T on July 7th or 8th, and I've had my eye on the Atrix for weeks already. Of course, the recent bootloader unlocking has made me even more anxious, but cash is pretty tight for me right now, and I'd gladly wait a while longer to save $100.

I'm new here, so I can't post a link, but it should be easy enough to find.
[Atrix 4G General] moocowgal:
Thanks for the notice!!:p. Thanks to you I now has teh Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] mvgc3:
Glad I could help!

I just hope it lasts long enough to get in on the deal myself. I haven't seen anything on the site that indicates that it's a sale or temporary promotion, but I can't imagine this lasting for two more weeks :(

Edit: Right after I posted this I saw the news update on Brief Mobile, which says the Atrix price is permanently dropped to $.01!!!
[Atrix 4G General] AudioMaster13:
Does anybody know if you could get it at this price and use it as an upgrade? the $150 price for family upgrade is harsh.
[Atrix 4G General] mvgc3:
Unfortunately it looks like the family upgrade price is still $150. Here's the rundown for the 6 choices:

New Customers

- Individual = .01

- Family = .01

Existing Customers

~Upgrade

- Individual = 30.00

- Family = 150.00

- Add a Line = .01

Replacement

- 600.00

I'm a little surprised (while at the same time, not at all) that's how AT&T handles upgrades. Verizon always upgraded us for the "new contract" prices on our family plan. Kinda makes me not look forward to 2 years from now :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] J-man67:
I want to get one for my g/f. Her contract is up today. Can't I change our acct to individual, buy the phone, then change it back to family next week or something?
[Atrix 4G General] zsr977:
Wow this is crazy, why couldn't they have done this like 3 months ago? Oh well can't complain too much I still got it for half the price AT&T wanted when I got mine from Amazon in March. Good find, always good to help people find out awesome things like this bring more people to the best phone I've ever owned.
[Atrix 4G General] _kansei_:
Since no one is posting about it, do know that Amazon will leverage an additional $250 early termination fee if you terminate service in the first 6 months.

I figured I'd post just in case anyone was planning on buying just to terminate early and get the phone for less than the ~$500 it retails for off contract.
[Atrix 4G General] LetItBe44:
Did the price match in AT&T store...
[Atrix 4G General] mvgc3:
You can do that? We went to the store the other day to ask some questions about it and they gave us some bull about how AT&T pays Amazon the difference or some nonsense.

So is it only at some stores? Or even employees?
[Atrix 4G General] _kansei_:
Why should AT&T price match Amazon? Doesn't make any sense to me. Amazon's price isn't a discount, it is levying an additional contract on top of the one you sign with the carrier. Someone is paying them to do it, my guess is the carriers.

It's not like we're talking a major price difference here, why screw someone to get that price?
[HTC Inspire 4G] johann718:
I got a notification on my ATT HTC Inspire for system upgrade 1.84.502.11. Anyone know what this upgrade is for?
[HTC Inspire 4G] malicenfz:
Did you do it? What does it say it changes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] johann718:
I tried but didn't work. I think it because my phone is rooted. Based on search, it looks like its a radio update and has been out for a while. I don't know why I just got the upgrade notification. Maybe it because I got my Inspire few weeks ago. I tried update via wifi and it never showed up until today.

Anyone know how I can get this update on rooted phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Most of the time if you are rooted the OTA updates dont work
[HTC Inspire 4G] johann718:
That's what I figured.

Any suggestions? I did some research and it looks like there is a patch which I could down load but its recommended that I install from ruu. What's ruu? I am not familiar with HTC terms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
RUU is Rom Update Utility. It is a stand-alone application from HTC that will basically erase everything and restore your phone to the level indicated by the application. The latest official RUU for the Inspire is (wrapped in code tags because otherwise XDA likes to split long words:

RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe

The OTA update patches this to:

OTA_Ace_Cingular_US_1_84_502_11-1_80_502_3_P_release_186225z4g9g65j9b7kolus.zip

There is no RUU for 1.84.502.11 as far as I know. You cannot install the patch unless your phone is 100% stock. It uses patch files (BSDIFF) to update the system partition and because of this, the system files must be identical to the ones the patch was made for and if even one is not there or different (think build.prop i.e.) then the whole update aborts.

The only way I know of to get a clean update is to do it as intended by HTC (pathc a 100% stock ROM with the OTA update) or use Attn1's patched version of the ROM from the dev section:

so guys i am fairly new to this have a few ideas popping in my head and i would like to do some app development but i need a push into the right direction such as a great starter book that would help me understand the coding and app building for "dummies" or something that would get me on the right track anyone who has some great ideas please let me know asap before i buy something i regret, the input of new android developers would probably be the most helpful cause i would like to know what they used to get them going in the right direction.

i do realize there is a lot of work involved but this has always been a dream of mine at least since i have started android, doing rooting flashing roms etc... i figured i would jump on the band wagon and do some developing myself i realize that is some time consuming steps involved but i think it will be worth it in the end, if i find a great idea that someone likes and build on that hell i could make myself rich so to speak anyway thanks guys more ideas would be very helpful i am guessing that c++ is the language itself :) i need a bit more input before i jump the gun and buy something that i don't need yet more or less like buying a chager for i phone that i don't have yet :) thanks for the input.
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Why recommend c++ when android apps are written in Java? If he is going to be learning from scratch anyways there is less than no reason to learn c++

Learning c++ would not help you with learning java unless you already knew c++ and since you don't just learn java.

There are some great intros to object oriented programming that use java as a base. Don't have any links at the moment. Just dont learn c++ if you want to do Android dev

[Android Software Development] Bfitz26:
thanks guys i decided that i am going to read up on some java, and the book i was looking as has two editions the first one made in 2005 which is way old and probably outdated and the second one i am not sure when it was made however it looked way fun to read btw i hate reading but i would do it to learn something else. i was looking at head first java but there is two editions which one should i get i see better review on 2nd edition than i do on the firlst however if i skip the first am i going to skip some knowledge that i would have been nice to know on my near road for success.
[Android Software Development] maxcool12345:
As I've already said earlier that there's not such a hard and fast rule that you have to learn c++ before Java but the better way is to go step by step, have a strong base, it'll help you in firm footing in your job. Then you'll be able to work on different platforms unless you will limit yourself and waste the talent and aptitude you have. I've also told you to go to an experienced person for better advice, if you really wanna do something.....

If you're going to buy head first Java buy the latest one.

Don't worry this book is not boring.
[Android Software Development] nikosrs4:
you can start from here as a tutorial and then buy a book maybe.

http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/index.html
[Android Software Development] cj chitwood:
Since nobody else directly answered this question...

When a book comes out in a second, third, fourth ... hundred and ninety-six thousand and forty-third... edition, they're all pretty much the same book -- usually. The differences in editions are usually just updated information.

Especially when dealing with programming, new user interfaces will come out, or updates to the underlying core will be made, or whatever. Point is, the subject matter of the book changes, and the book is then revised to match. Since rewriting the whole book would be very time consuming (not to mention unnecessary) they just update pertinent parts. Usually, the book is 90% to 95% unchanged. However, don't expect an older book (say, e.g., from 2005) to have information related to the latest version of the software it covers.

If you're intelligent enough, you can probably read the older book to get the understanding, and then figure out the updates on your own if the later edition is too expensive or not available in your area or whatever (after all, you won't buy the revised edition of the book every time the software is updated), but it's best to start with the latest edition if you can.

Good luck on programming, especially if you've never done it. I wanted to get into it, and was even taking classes in college, but my junior year saw price and scheduling changes I couldn't handle with my then-new job. Very time-consuming. I understood the concepts -- we started with C and then C++ in junior college and at university we got into COBOL (why?) and Java, but between work and a fiancée that needed attention, when I was home I just didn't have time enough to devote to it to meet deadlines. However, were I single and only part-time employed, I probably could have handled it.

[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
im sorry but this is crazy... while c++ may be a step, its on the wrong set of stairs! the base is just programming paradigms that are language agnostic. and if you want to teach those why not start at C? why skip that part of the 'base'? of course if you want to learn Java and dont know those basic programming paradigms you CAN learn them in Java (as you can in C++). a single Class program with a main() acts nearly identical to a single file C program. so the only reason to study other languages would be to learn their intricacies and the way they handle inheritance, abstraction, threads, etc... and if thats the goal then why start on a language other than the one you want to learn? if i wanted to learn how to make and use a MySQL database would you recommend me starting on another completely different data base structure?

[/rant]

thank you

also i dont think this is the OPs 'job' he is just trying to learn some Android programming....
[Android Software Development] azyouthinkeyeiz:
C++ teaches coding principles that apply to most languages, and the detail needed.. Skipping may take time out of the process, but to be an effective and effecient coder, you need the skills taught by learning C/C++..

Skipping the basis for most modern programming is just half-assing it, and will most surely lead to this guy not becoming "rich".

And really, what sense does it make to argue, if he is searching for information, it is all different means to the same end. What's it going to hurt to learn a language that will definitely benefit him.

You just want to be right and seem to be the "expert".
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
thats wrong. they arent skills taught by c or c++ and c/c++ arent needed to learn them. they are universal paradigms that can be applied to any language.

logic is language agnostic.

and what would hurt him learning C++ when he wants Java is being trapped into the ways C++ does things that Java does another way.

---

i dont want to be an 'expert' im just trying to prevent this person from going down the path of learning C++ which can be used in sooo many different ways when he wants to learn Java which does things its own ways. its like if i asked what i should do to learn Android programming and someone said that i should learn to code for iOS first. durh

and yes this really bothers me. i have nothing against C++, its a powerful language for the things that use it. but to suggest it to a person interested in Android dev is shilling for a programming language that has nothing to do with what wants to be done.

There is one tiny. Scratch on the bezel bottom left. No scratch dings dents.

It will come with everything it came with. Including micro SD card 8gb class 4.

The only downside is that I peeled off the paint thing on battery cover.

It looks the same it just makes it look shinier. I was in process or doing it but it was time consuming so I gave up.

The battery covers are like 10dollars on eBay (just letting you guys know.)

Oh and it comes with otterbox.
