[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam67:
I assume this is the Xhausx thread you were talking about: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110733

So I already have 4.22.651.2 from his post flashed, if I were to run 'Firmware Update' does that update just the radios, or does it update everything: the radios, the recovery, boot, and install the OTA gingerbread ROM?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehunni:
Well it would definitely update your bootloader and I believe radios as well if it actually let you flash it. I believe when you run Unrevoked forever it runs a script to block flashing of OTA's anyways though. But yeah, the 4.24 ROMs are based off the newest update. Flash the radio combos separately after downloading them as well.

I want the stock recovery back on my htc wildfire can anyone tell me how to get it it? I am in India and had rooted my wildfire using Alpharev X and had nejc's method to root it. But I dont want to keep root cause it has certain problems and also there doesnt exist any rom with sense 2.1. So please help me!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwboyee:
I rooted my NS4G and the 3G data and voice are almost none existant. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm not on a customer rom but I flashed over CM7 and had the same problems. Please help. Do I need to unroot?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwboyee:
Thanks for the welcome. I actually did search and all those threads have had no resolution to the problem. Nor did they recommend or not unrooting. These are all still valid questions I am trying to find the answer to. It looks like I will be unrooting and taking the phone back into the store. Too bad it's past my 30 days or I would get another evo 3d.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
There's no resolution posted because there is currently no resolution to post. It's not an issue of rooted / unrooted or stock rom vs custom rom. For some, the device itself has horrible reception for others they see no such issue. I had a NS4G for a few weeks and was in the abysmal reception group despite being blanketed in 3G and 4G coverage in the Chicago area. 3G speeds were terrible and 4G would rarely connect. I unloaded the device and canceled the service on the line with Sprint. Depending on who you talk to this issue is either wide spread or affecting 1% of customers.

A post on a separate Android forum (AndroidCentral maybe?) indicated that Sprint was working internally on a pre-OTA, pre-shipping baseband as it supposedly did not have these issues (given to a forum member by a source).

The BAW forums indicate no such thing except for the off comment that Samsung "officially" doesn't recognize this as a problem with no cited source.

The thread on Google's support forums indicates Google is "looking into" the issue, but they have had no response since that post on 5/25.

Speculation has ranged from everything to Gingerbread bugs with EVDO/Wimax, hardware failures of severely high rates (transmitter failure) and issues with the baseband itself (which falls on Google, Samsung and Sprint respectively).

So, you can post and ask to your heart's content, but there is no resolution currently as the existing threads indicate. It's not some secret fix that no one is sharing ;)

I want my I8000 turn off on 9pm and turn on on 5 am,Ive installed Autoflight but when I set power off it only turn screen off not power off.Any one give me solution for this or any program to use to turn off using Autoflight?

Thanks!
[Omnia II General] AntonC:
Why would you want to turn off your phone? If it's to save battery, you could simply switch to airplane mode. I have written a scheduling app that could do that and some other stuff, but i see you're already using Autoflight.

From what i know using an app that can turn off you phone would require root privileges.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
First, if you don't know what backtrack is, or what its used for I'd recommend the Ubuntu on Thunderbolt thread found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104983

He's done a lot of great work and its more refined.

Big thanks to anantshri, he's responsible for the .img and install.

Installations instructions:

Update your busybox (system/xbin) to the following version for chroot

download:

Terminal emulator-- I recommend Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich

VNC Viewer-- e.g. android-vnc-viewer (free)

I also recommend 'Hacker's Keyboard'

Download the following three files and extract them with 7Zip.

Once you have all the files downloaded, extract to a folder named 'bt'. You should see the following in the folder:

bt

bt.img

installbt.sh

startbt

stopbt

Copy the bt folder to your sdcard (file size~3.25GB)

Open up your Terminal emulator on your phone and cd to /sdcard/bt

type in the following

su

sh installbt.sh

If everything installed correctly you can proceed with the following

startbt --starts the backtrack service

stopbt --stops bt

bt --gives you backtrack command line

To access the gui

type ui in the bt shell to start the vncserver

killui stops it

your vnc server default login settings are going to be as follows

Address: 127.0.0.1 or localhost

Port: 5901

Password: 12345678

Additionally, you can use a workstation vnc viewer to log into bt via adb. Type the following into adb:

adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901

Ensure you have started the ui in your bt shell, then start your vnc client on your workstation. Connect to 127.0.0.1:5901 (or localhost:5901) and put in the 12345678 as the password.

You need to start the bt service every time you reboot with startbt, and need to reinstall bt when you flash a new rom (sh installbt.sh).

I'll continue to update this post with confirmations of what works and things we need to fix.

Optimization/tweaks:

type 'pico ~/bin/ui' in your bt shell, then adjust the resolution to 800x480

Working/Broken:

The big glaring omission is enabling monitor mode on the wireless adapter. What we need to make this happen is a stand alone installation (dual boot with android) and wireless chipset driver support. This is very unlikely to happen, especially when it runs with a relative degree of functionality in the android VM.

There are still many things that BackTrack can do, I encourage everyone to update their apt source.list and download the pieces they found missing, as well as to utilize the tools available-- this is still a very powerful toolkit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Samsuck:
dude this is legit. backtrack on linux is the ****.

i used to crack people's wireless with that ****, and do penetration tests all the time.

funny thing is im sonic wall certified lol. security my ass.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Chopes:
is that section of backtrack functional though to actually get that use out of it? OP mentioned its not 100%.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Well played. BackTrack was our "secret weapon" when I worked in the tech field. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gimpeh:
I will be super excited if packet injection ever works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
If anyone is having issues extracting, you only need to use 7zip on the first file. This will extract all the files you need.

Ill be making some x server tweaks and compiling a list of functioning apps/hardware, will update the op.

Right now, wifi and 3g are working for data; I still need to test bt, but it should work. Ettercap fails when scanning for hosts, as do many other apps. Still a work in progress.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] krickatthedisco:
this is sweet! i got it up and running in 20 minutes including extracting the files. i tried to install a few different versions of chrome and they all said wrong architecture. Im assuming this is an ARM issue because its not emulating x86 or x64 its just running on ARM. im curious if this will cause a problem for any other software that checks the processor, i didnt have time to check
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kr0n1c:
Ok so, everything worked great until after "startbt". That works but once I go to start the ui, I get "Chroot: applet not found". Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cuguy:
can someone check if wireless card can be put in promiscuous mode? aka. capturing packages intended for someone else
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ke1evraTi:
Did you update busybox?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ke1evraTi:
So I don't have an exact answer for you but I tried to run Aircrack-ng&Co and all I got was command not found.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
I'm looking into that today, will also post a way to vnc in via adb, will make testing much easier.

Just got married, the honeydo lists have already started.. been juggling my time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kr0n1c:
I updated Busybox but still get the same error. To update BB, all I had to do was copy busybox.txt to /system/xbin correct?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
i get to the command line fine, when I type ui I get command not found
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Take away the .txt and overwrite the existing busybox in xbin. The browser appended .txt when you saved it and it should not be there.

For the ui, make sure you type bt first, so that you start the bt process. You should see root@localhost# or something similar instead of the usual #
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Also, make sure you are su when you run startbt and bt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
I actually fixed it by starting the command line and using vi to edit the /usr/bin/startvnc file, changed the resolution then exported the USER=root, I then used the command startvnc and it worked fine. Ui however did not work at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Glad you got it worked out.

Additional way to connect to bt in op. Using adb should make troubleshooting much easier. Testing bt and promiscuous now
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Updated OP, we can't enable monitor mode on the wireless chipset, its running on a VM and there isn't driver support for it. This limits our ability to some extent, but there are still many useful tools in bt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DigitalSileR:
this is DISGUSTING!!!

can't wait to try this out in the morning after work, MAJOR PROPS!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Chopes:
Noob question: What are some of the tools that are currently functioning since monitor mode isn't enabled?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kr0n1c:
I'm always missing the little details. Thanks for the help worked perfectly!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Im going to halfass this answer a little bit, there are many functioning apps currently on it but bt shouldnt be your end all be all, its a good starting point. You can install and customize to your hearts content, knowing the limitations of monitor mode.

So more specifically, what are you looking to do? We can tell if you if it has the tools or if not where to get them
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
my mouse cursor doesn't work for some reason. Any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Which vnc viewer are you using? Try using a desktop client through adb to test as well, if you still aren't having any luck with that put a fresh version of the .img and run the install script
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Beastclaw:
Great work!! Instructions were clear and it was very easy to set up!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] agdaniels:
Just wanted to add some additional clarification on the monitor mode situation. There are many other devices with our broadcom adapter, and other devs have made good progress on enabling it, only to be frustrated. The driver is open sourced, but the hardware code physically on the chip has the monitor mode code omitted. So there is no access path to modify the code and no possible way with our chips to passively monitor a network in monitor mode.

That said, packet capture is still possible, just not at the all encompassing level monitor mode would allow. For example connect to a network and launch ettercap, even running looped with chroot you can use the virtual adapter eth0 to capture packets.

This probably looks like chicken scratch, but I won't be able to sit down and write anything more detailed for a while so it will have to do.

And this is all posted for educational purposes etc etc. I'm not responsible for the crazy stuff you get caught doing
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hkbladelawhk:
Random thought. What about uninstallation (just encase)? Also! Thanks awesome lil distro!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jellydroid13:
is there any way to output this to a monitor or login to its vnc session from an external device.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayXL14:
I was thinking about buying a Desire Z so I can use it with AT&T 3G (850/1900 bands)

Does it matter which Desire Z I buy? I know it obviously cannot be the G2, but does it matter if it's the Bell version or a Canadian one.

Thanks for any help XDA!

P.S. If I got a Desire Z with AT&T 3G, I could use it with the dumb - fone unlimited da,ta plan right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
Well technically the Bell version is Canadian. But you need to get the A7275 model number, or Bell Canada version as you said. Only this model will work for AT&T.

Also, it's seems to be luck of the draw with the dumb phone unlimited data. Some say that they don't get caught because AT&T can't see what kind of phone it is because it isn't an AT&T phone. Others say that they get caught anyways. I don't think there is a definite answer to that one.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyromanx55:
I believe there is also a UK version.. would that work with AT&T 3G?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
No it wouldn't, that's the A7272 version.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayXL14:
Thanks for the info.. very useful.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aarisaanig:
anyone who had experience with this battery??

and how was it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dannyglover:
Yeah. I've been through just about most of the batter brands now save for the powerskin, which entirely underwhelms me.

The Yoobao seems about as good as the Momax and looks pretty good except the case suffers from the same problem in that it develops cracks very quickly around buttons and ports. If you were after a battery I'd probably get this or the Momax and then just get a cheap US$8 3000MaH battery on ebay for the cover, which seems to hold up better. The Momax does have the advantage of a little pouch (which this Yoobao cover also just fits into) so I'd probably go with that. Or just buy a spare battery and carry it around. The form of the phone is much slimmer without the extended batteries. If only someone made a good silicone case that fit the momax. Ah. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dannyglover:
Oh, and I say seems to be about the same as the Momax, as I've been swapping kernels and modems a lot recently so I can't report exact usage times....

If it is 3500MaH it should last longer. It is a tiny bit thicker than the Momax 2700MaH battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chandramohants:
Yoobao

Hi,

i am using yoobao battery for more than two months, i am getting at least 3 days with MIUI, and for quality this is one of the best brand for mobile batteries available in china, also before i was using yoobao additional battery for my HTC legend for an year,

so i would like to suggest to go for yoobao as it is cheap and best when compared to momax,

in china the market price of yoobao 88 rmb, and momax 250 rmb, so i chose yoobao,
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] aarisaanig:
too bad, i bought momax already :( ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chandramohants:
any way you got a leather pouch(cover) with your momax, which will not be included in yoobao
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Airfaire:
doesnt the stock battery last for three days?......
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] jetgomes:
Hi,

I bought a momax and yoobao in the same day(3 weeks ago).

I received the momax one week later(fast delivery,wow)and the yoobao i received it today (I live in Holland,not bad).

The momax battery is quite good (two days of intensive use, always-on WiFi and 3G, gamming, browsing, emails, etc..and 3 days with moderate use) and the case fits well (only a small gap next to the usb port) and the stand is perfect.

I cannot talk about the yoobao battery because I only received it today, but I can say that the yoobao case is not as good as the momax,I had to make some adjustments next to the buttons (with a sharp knife, lol) because it was upon the power and volume buttons and around the camera lens,the stand is not that great!perhaps i receivd a bad one,who knows.

the yoobao battery does not fit in the momax case, but the momax battery fits in the momax case.

My personal advice!go with momax,you get a Carry Pouch,or by both(like i did,not that expensive)and buy a extra wall charger,allways full charged batterys!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] chandramohants:
with MIUI and for me stock battery cant last for 3 days, as i would like to play games whenevr i have a chance,

OHHH...I'm happy with the quality of the pics that the Sensation produces.
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
I don't know, but I am loving the direction HTC seems to be headed in terms of camera capabilities on their new devices :-)
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I doubt the quality is as good because there's a better lens on the MT4G Slide. But I don't see any reason why we can't extract the .apk's from it's camera (HDR, Panorama, etc) and use it on our Sensation's.
[HTC Sensation] mreeekay:
Thanks for the replies guys. I've used the one on my girl's sensation and I'm pretty happy with how fast it takes the pictures and it's not that bad not having a dedicated camera key, although it would be nice. My g2 is wayyy to slow :( I'm trying to take pictures of my newborn and it can't keep up. I keep missing good pics :(

Angry Birds for Windows Phone is now Live!

Posted on Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:38 pm EDT by Daniel Rubino

Filed Under: games 

Yes, people. Let the taunting end tonight. Between the promise of custom ringtones and now the fulfillment of 'Angry Birds', Windows Phone 7 has had its day.

Angry Birds is easy on of the most anticipated games to hit the new OS and it should gives us a wee bit more parity with competing systems (using some odd metric for success, of course). From the app description, it's what you expect:

"Angry Birds is coming to Windows Phone! The survival of the angry birds is at stake. Dish out revenge on the green pigs who stole the birds’ eggs. Use the unique destructive powers of the angry birds to lay waste to the pigs’ fortified castles. Each of the 165 levels requires logic, skill and brute force to crush the enemy."

The game fetches for $2.99 with a free trial, as usual, though we're skipping right to 'buy' since we're kind of predictable like that. You can get it right now by following this link to the Marketplace. Hit us up in comments and let us know what you think. (Thanks, Dalton C., for the heads up!)

[Windows Phone 7 General] yardie.spike:
Plays well on Mozart, just as addictive as on the other platforms...well done rovio! WP7 feels a little more complete now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nanoware:
When will we get the other angry birds games like seasons or Rio....
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Or the other 90 levels that are missing from this version?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FTC:
...get the paid version.... :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] james punnett:
angry bird is fun to play,,,,,thanx for sharing the information,,,,
[Windows Phone 7 General] TTRpwnage:
There are only 21 levels available in the trial version right ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] argentocruz:
I've never played this game on any platform previously... I only bought it in reaction to so many ppl yearning for it... lol...

I was getting by with pandas v ninjas...

Plays well... I like it... Believe the hype! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
I like this port much better than the android port. It's smoother, the graphics seem crisper, and the physics is spot on. Don't forget the achievements!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TTRpwnage:
Sorry for double post, but I'm wondering what is the breakdown of levels for Angry Birds for WP7 ? 63 for Poached Eggs, and how many of the respective levels ? How about the other missing 90 levels ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Guess again. ;)

The WP7 paid version is listed in the Marketplace as having 165 levels. The full version on both Android and iOS is listed in their respective markets as having 255 levels. Do the math.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yeahyeahyeah1981:
Very smooth.....Im at the point where Ill be happy with any app or game that just runs smoothly, without lag or choppiness. too many are plagued by this. Looking forward to Mango for this very reason.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
It might sound odd, but I found the framerate a tad lower than on android (maybe because I played on a tab).

I do like the game, but I was annoyed that it took ages to port it, made it quite pricey compared to other platforms, but didn't even take their time to fix tombstoning !!! Surely they will fix it, but it's far from perfect now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I downloaded the trial version, and played through it once, and it was fine. But when I tried to play through some of the levels again, it force closed every time I tried to select a level. I rebooted my phone and tried again, and it worked again. But after closing the game again, and using my phone for other things, the force close returned the next time I tried to load a level. It doesn't seem ready for prime time to me. ESPECIALLY with it's higher-than-every-other-platform price tag.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Not as smooth as the iOS version. I get some hiccups now and then. Using Samsung Focus.
