Unified Remote

You could try the 'Unified Remote' app for Android (but it requires a server-side application to run on the PC).

The touchpad part works awesomely, and Unified Remote will work via Bluetooth or Wifi/3G.

There are also 'plugin' remotes that work for other situations, like Youtube remote, Windows Media Player remote, keyboard, VLC remote, etc...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demension21:
I've installed revolution 1.5 on my vibrant...went well

only problem is that whent i connect my phone to the pc (windows 7)

the driver for mass storage cannot install

i cannot find the uss settings in the main settings of the phone

it should be under the section called about phone

but i cannot find it:confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy25000:
Go to settings, applications, there is usb and development settings.

Uncheck debugging in development, go to usb, change it to mass storage, then go back into development and check debugging, this is important.

Did you install the proper drivers that are listed in the beginners guide?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bxojr:
I'm running KB 2.0. Recently I've discovered that I cannot successfully scan QR codes using Barcode Scanner anymore. I can't say for certain when it stopped working, but it could have been when I installed KB 2.0.

The Barcode Scanner app launches just fine and opens the camera view. But it seems unable to get a clear image; it keeps trying to focus, but the image stays blurry. I got some improvement by enabling auto contrast in the camera app (previously the image was also very washed out), but it's still unable to focus.

Has anybody else seen similar behavior? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phlong:
Hello, my first post and android phone. Anyway, I've been looking around and noticed most peoples display only uses around 30% whereas mine uses 66-70% consistently. I have my screen brightness to 10% as well so I'm not sure how that can be. Can anyone shed any light on this? Battery life seems to be alri;)ght so far.I've only charged twice so far and second time I'm at about 5 hours in and I'm at 68% battery left. I think the display is killing the battery more than it should be.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XpLoDWilD:
Depending on what you do, screen uses more or less battery :) If you play a game that uses a lot of phone's power, it will take more battery, therefore leading to less percentage usage from the screen.

If your battery life is okay, then you're alright ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i think you just havent looked long enough. many many people have their display showing in the list as 60-80% more often than not. and my nexus one also has the display around 75%, each day, every day, for a year. the display is just always the highest.

the only way its low is if you use standby the entire time and dont turn your screen on for more than 2 minutes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phlong:
Okay, that sounds about right. It just seems weird. I haven't really had a chance to really do anything except browse the internet and download apps from the market. I haven't even gotten a chance to play any games. The display just doesn't ever seem to go below 60% while I see screenshots of other people's battery usage and they are all 30%. Crazyness I say.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
66% ....

The mark of the devil burn it !!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Yeah I was wondering about this as well.

I have no idea if this is normal? Running Cognition S2 v1.07.

The battery does run down pretty quickly, but I'm using it quite heavily at the moment as it's new.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phlong:
I see I see, okay well that makes me feel better. I just got this phone yesterday morning and I thought something might have been wrong. It came all the way from Hong Kong to Canada!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yeah just give it some time, you will adjust to your new device. i promise it seems very normal so far.

as a test do some over night standby tests and check your numbers in the morning.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
It is surely relative to how long the phone has been on and what else has been using power.

66% of a little battery life, isn't as bad as 66% of the whole battery life,

(Its also good I went there, since I didn't know there was a download mode when you press volume down and power. I had no idea why I couldn't till I realized this :()

Download the ADB shell

from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

1) Put the adb shell in the PATH

Right click my computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > Locate Path in the window. Mine is C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

2) Pull up cmd and type "ADB" (without quotes, nor this text too :p), you should be able to see the help stuff if it worked correctly.

Turn on Tab

Make sure the tab is on

Make sure Wifi is off

Connect your tab to the computer

Upload wpa_supplicant to the Tab

In cmd, type this. ### is a comment

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 777 /system/bin ###This code was not in the XDA explanation, but a different source
cp "/system/bin/wpa_supplicant" "/system/bin/wpa_supplicant2" ###Copy the file just encase you mess up
exit ###Exits out of su
exit ###Exits out of the ADB shell
adb push "D:\wpa_supplicant" "/system/bin" ###First param is the location of the wpa_supplicant file, second is where you put it, instead of D:\wpa_supplicant, change it to where you put it
adb shell
su
chmod 777 "/system/bin/wpa_supplicant" ###I didn't do this the first time, nor was it shown in the previous thread. This is why it didn't work for me, and most likely, if you followed the previous thread and didn't do this, this will probably help :)
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system ###Changes it to read only
exit ###Exits out of su
exit ###Exits out of ADB shell

Turn Wifi on, and you should be able to see adhoc networks with (adhoc) attached to them.

____________________

Now, the only problem is that when I connect, I disconnect right away. I am searching for a solution to this, I think it may be in the /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file. I am going to take a look and I will get back when I find it out. Or if you know what to do, tell me :) I will update the post when I find a solution.

I hope this helps!

hi everyone,

I'm reading & studying on many threads, to do the right thing to update my xoom to 3.1

I have xoom wifi only [Build H.6.2-24 for Retail Other International - MZ604]

& as on another Q&A someone suggested me, I'm following this thread to update to 3.1, in this one it gives me Installation aborted when I'm trying to apply the zip file I choose from SD (which is HWI69), I want to know some things:

1 - what's wrong when it says installation aborted?

2 - if I'm doing wrong with Flashing "HWI69", trying to apply the update zip, (Cause I really don't know how to flash the one (US US Retail) that I downloaded from here to xoom

3 - I just saw this thread, & trying to understand what "sdcard support (still at sdcard/external)" means, where I'll see the SD card??

4 - which of the 2 threads that I've read is the official update? are they even official? or if not, which one works better for my xoom?

AT LAST I REALLY APPRECIATE IN ADVANCE FOR ANSWERS OF THESE 4 QUESTIONS.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00r:
I have a Canadian unit, now running the 3.1 rooted

First install ADB

then issue adb devices to check if you got some number listed (this mean it's connecting)

adb reboot bootloader (enter)

then type

fastboot oem unlock (enter and follow the instruction) *That's #1 issue

Now the bootloader is unlocked, it will allow you to install another rom (canadian to US is fine but other combination may have issue with wifi frequency band or other)

to install the rom (best to use the one from motorola) *That's #2 issue

type

fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter and wait for completion on each line)

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

Now relock the bootloader to allow the OTA update

fastboot oem lock Do THIS ONLY IF YOU USED THE STOCK MOTOROLA IMG

Boot the tablet (this can take some time, be patient) enter wifi password do not bother to do the google login) do the on line upgrade check by checking the about tablet section (do it twice at least so that it detect the new OTA upgrade)

Once it's upgraded, fully reboot then again go into ADB and unlock the bootloader again

adb reboot bootloader (enter)

then type

fastboot oem unlock (enter and follow the instruction)

Now root with a 3.1 method and install CWM if wanted... (best root are the smallest one, the one who flash new rom often flash verizon branded stuff) *That's #3 issue, use Moto images, and make sure the root is small (4mb or so) else they can be VZN roms...

This is what I did I added tiamat kernel over this...

And yes, external is mounted inside sdcard directory *That's #3 issue
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dslcpm:
I'm wondering why I still need Kies and debugging off to mount my tab via USB? Shouldn't a rooted android device allow me access to the file structure w/o the goofy kies program?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LordLugard:
I don't understand what you're saying or asking. A rooted device means you have SU access to the whole file system, enabling custom ROMS and software modifications. That has nothing to do with whether you can mount to a computer via USB or not.

By default, at the moment initially, the Tab 10.1 does not mount as a USB device on Mac computers. This has nothing to do with being rooted or not. If you have a Windows computer, you don't have to use the Kies software.

***Samsung has just released an update to their Kies Beta software for Mac with 10.1 Tab support.***

Hi everyone,

I want to sell my wildfire so i installed an original rom on it. I wanted to check everyone so i tried to update to froyo but i can't find any updates. Please help.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Just flash a Froyo RUU (Starting with 2.x) from the Shipped ROMs site:

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz

i already did that but i will try it again. It wont harm my phone :D
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You are already updated then. There is no official release after Android 2.2.1
[Wildfire General] yesjohn:
I did that with android 2.1 not with 2.2
[Wildfire General] bx19:
I hope u know that (froyo = android 2.2.1) and (eclair = android 2.1)

BTW, I saw only one froyo RUU in the buzz shipped roms website till date (excluding cn one). It is named like RUU_BUZZ_FROYO_HTC_WWE . It applies to u if ur device is debranded one. No matter what ur device is it even applies to u on making a gold card.

Then if ur device is carrier specific or regional specific then u can also do ota update manually. Download OTA_BUZZ_FROYO.zip of ur region . Rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of memory card (fat32). Then power off the device. Then hold volume down + power key. U will see hboot menu. After 10sec, then select recovery (power button for selection and vol keys for navigation) . Then u will see a red triangle. Now press vol up + power. Then it shows the option something like "apply sdcard update". Go with that. Make sure u have enough battery before doing this.

And ur phone can also be sold without updating I think. As the eclair one is also stock.

OR

OTA_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_India_2.25.720.1-1.25.720.1_release_161546bwou4mclajggz2mu.zip which is only 58.3 MB

My phone is still unrooted. I would like to have a backup of the Original ROM ready just in case since my phone is still under warranty. Btw why is there a huge diff in size between the two ROMS?? Thanks a lot!!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
The second is a ZIP which only contains the Froyo Update. It is not an RUU. So, your choice is limited to the first one.
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
My phone specs currently are :

Android version : 2.2.1

Baseband Version : 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10

Build Version : 2.25.720.1

Software number : 2.25.720.1
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
So can I use the RUU first to install the Android OS and then use the OTA to update???
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Why do u want u use ruu + ota when u are on stock froyo already.

That build number is stock froyo afaik. Instead use alpharevX and then install custom roms if u need.
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
I am planning to use alpharevX to install the CM 7.0.3 stable mode. But since my cell is still under warranty (I bought it 3 months ago) I would like to revert back to the Original ROM so that I don't have warranty issues incase I have to submit the phone to the service centre.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Ok.

But presently there is no option to revert back to stock if u use alpharevX. Reverting back requires "hboot downgrader" which is yet to be released by alharevX. But I think it will not take much time .

Ok. Think again before going with alharevX. And if u make s-off do not make hard reset untill u make a nandroid backup.
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
Oh!! But how did yesjohn in this post go back to the original ROM. I guess he used another method to root. Anyway thanks for the info. Now I'm just a bit worried whether to continue rooting or no since I don't have anything to fall back to incase something happens. Many main concern is the warranty issue!!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
He didn't have S-OFF. As for whether you want to root, it's totally your decision. BTW, pretty much everyone's Wildfire's here are still under warranty atleast officially, because if I am not mistaken it was launched in July 2010.
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
Yeah that's what I figured too. Thanks a lot for giving me the info. And yeah your right it was released in July 2010, so most of the phone have been rooted whilst they were under warranty.

One more question, If I do plan to root my phone using the alpharevX method, is there any way of recovery if something does go wrong???

I'm planning to use the CM 7.0.3 stable version. Any idea of how good it is??

I really appreciate your help!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I cannot say that with 100.00% certainty, because, its writes your HBoot, which is an extremely sensitive process, but, seeing how no one has got a bricked phone so far (If there are issues, all of them are resolvable, and, in all cases, the process fails, leaving the phone as it was before), you should be safe, if you do decide to go for it.
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
Thanks a lot! Will give it a try. Was just having first time jitters I guess. I have HBoot 1.01.0002 btew. hope it works!
[Wildfire General] bx19:
If u have issues with hboot 1.01.0002 then u can downgrade it to hboot 1.01.0001 by the process given by ieftm which will be in the wildfire dev section. But I haven't heard issues with Indian hboot 1.01.0002 if I'm correct.
[Wildfire General] ameya88:
