I'll second the ROM opinion. I am running CM7 nightly and it works perhaps try one of these?
[General Questions and Answers] tehdroid:
Thanks for your replies. :)

I have also tried the kuyaDROID ROM and racht's CM7 nightly HACKDROID ROM.

It still does not work after several reboots on both ROMS.
[Defy General] rinchenho:
Hi there, I am using CM7 RC1v2 on my motorola defy. I am facing a problem which whenever i connect my phone to windows using phone portal the usb tether cnt be checked. But when i connect using "charge only" the things become available again but i still could not connect. Anybody face this problem and can help me to solve it? Thx very much!
[Defy General] farsight73:
Phone portal run on specific IP number and it uses different port and this explain why USB tether won't run.

I'm using it and here's my steps.

AFAIK, the pc required the USB tether driver for it to run properly. It should automatic install of the required driver. Once the driver is installed, you could perform a few steps here.

I'm using Windows 7

1) Goto Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change Adaptor settings.

2) Disable any active Local Area Connection if there are any of them running

3) Enable the one USB tether(it might already enabled by default but you could double check it).

4) It will auto verifying and connect once it done verified.

5) Start your internet browser and enjoy(you may need to do: Internet Option - Connections - Lan Settings - Unchecked proxy server .
[Defy General] rinchenho:
I have tried following ur steps but it still can't work. My pc was able to install all the driver except that when installing MTP USB driver, it failed.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.nikunjgaria:
hi.. when i connect my tablet to my pc it shows only the internal memory and not the memory card.. is it the prob with all acer iconia tab a500 or just mine..?

how to instal softwares on memory card instead of internal memory??
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
You can't. Memory card is mounted under /mnt/external_sd but you can only store files there. You can't install anything there.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.nikunjgaria:
thanks.. that's quite stupid.. even my smartphone is smarter Dan that!
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
May be but you smartphone doesn't have 32gb of internal storage. That would make installing to SD redundant because internal memory is usually faster. But it's great that we have some extra storage options for movies and mp3s.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
This may be a lame objection but how tacky is it to have yourself listed as a contact in your directory

Qik video lists me as someone I can video chat with -

LInkedIN listed me as a colleague at my own damn job.

Do the morons that make the apps ever install them and use them?

Is anyone else having this same issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] Abracastabya:
I ran into this crap today! Its listing my twitter name in the people app...extra annoying.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
So I uninstalled everything that is "LinkedIn", Qik etc. Rebooted.

Reinstalled LinkedIn. rebooted. Myself wasn't listed. Hooray!

I then installed QIK. and BAM there I am listed as just a phone number at the top. So tacky and weak.

No way to delete it. It be ok if I could video chat with myself but it won't even let me do that. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] Abracastabya:
I went into people then view then checked "only with phone number" and what do you know it got rid of my twitter name...hope this helps!

When I saw this:http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/06/28/htc-evo-3d-price-already-drops-at-amazon/ it felt like a major blow the the nads! Gonna have to keep an eye on this!
[HTC EVO 3D] Smac7:
amazon always does this type of stuff. i think its new sprint customers only though, maybe not though.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Yeah.....just for new customers or adding a line, not for upgrades.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
I was a new customer and I preordered it on the 8th, you guys think I will get a 30 dollar credit if I call them? I dont know if they do that on the phones, they have been pretty nice to me so I might give it a try tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
I added another line at the Shack...just my luck! But my first thought when I hear price drop is it's losing its luster so to speak. I probably over-reacted though.
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Nah... it would be a major blow to the nads if THAT one came S-OFF.
[HTC EVO 3D] xoreactionzox:
is this only amazon or will it be in store
[HTC EVO 3D] superman_legendary:
Nah Amazon always have lowest prices. Retail stores can't compete and won't price match Amazon. I still buy from best buy and price match radioshack or lowest retail I can find the Geek Squad protection plan is second to none no deductible $10 a month and brand new replacement even from water damage. So you may save now but lose out on money later.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
I actually looked at the details of their plan, there is no where it says you get a straight replacement, they will send it in for repairs if that is necessary. I didn't see anywhere where it says you get a direct replacement. Although it is likely they will replace it, I really hate how every employee at best buy tells you something different, last time I tried to exhange a phone wher gps would never lock and I was within thirty days, one person tried to tell me that is how it is suppose to be. Tried to make a fool out of me and after I talked to the third person, fourth person actually decided to replace it for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] aornelas1:
The offer is $149, in my area at least. And ya, only for new customers. The wirefly friends and family was selling for the same price and was upgrade friendly, for those still looking.

EDIT: I guess I should've re-searched it up. The current price is up to $179- wirefly(DOT)com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=26987_584f5c9aca934f7b941e32743e8f2eff

[HTC EVO 3D] OneOfOne:
if you kept the packaging and traded it in at radio shack and it was in excellent condition as was mine, the evo 4 got you 158 dollars off on a 3d. so my final in store cost including them incorrectly charging me 12 bucks tax on the original 199.99 instead of the tax on 41 dollars was 54 bucks and some change. beat that
[HTC EVO 3D] ssdave:
It will be 6-12 months before price drops in my opinion...
[HTC EVO 3D] 4dthinker:
These things aren't doing bad yet. My blog has had 3x more hits on the Evo 3D post I made than any other post since Christmas. My local Sprint store's take was "On release day we didn't have the line like we did when the Evo 4G came out", but when I asked for more details it turns out they sold more Evo3Ds than 4Gs (which ran out) the first day, and have had a steady flow of Evo 3D buyers each day since then as reviews have come out. Sprint underestimated the demand for the 4G, and has made sure they have a ready supply of the 3D.

I just flashed this rom on ODIN on the pda part of the md5 tar file. I was originally on the heimdall deodex and root rom. I just wanted to flash this to see if it would fix the call log problem. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146145

Now my phone is semi bricked, none of the combos work, so I am going to buy the JIG. What went wrong, and what do I need to do to correct the flashing process in odin once I get into download mode. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SMASHERSONLY:
You tried the vol down and power with no usb that works for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
did you try all of these?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069032

method 2 worked for me when i soft bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
+2 on this method. The key combination got messed up when you flashed Gingerbread. Try taking out the battery if you can't power off the phone too. Then hold volume down and power and put the battery back in.

Those methods don't work cuz they flashed gingerbread and it messes up the key combos.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
+1

try holding vol down + power
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Go to the captivate forum and search buy usb jig. I got one for $7.99 and free shipping . All u need is a paypall acct. Or just make one! all u need is a few things from an electronics store and u can do it in like 20 mins. Theres some awesome guides on the web. I bought mine cause im lazy and the free shipping got me sold. Its awesome and pretty much makes it impossible to wreck your device. (not saying you can't hard brick) Pretty hard though unless u don't know what you're doing and being reckless. I think the jig is so cool i use it to get into download mode everytime even when the conventional ways are working! Get the jig! Best 8 bucks i ever spent. Like a form of insurance for the phone.hehe

I have to admit that having the jig has made me a little more adventurous!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
hold vol down and power button without the battery in the phone then insert battery.. IF that combo doesnt work

vol up vol down insert usb

then insert battery.

make sure u have odin up lol cause if u can get it to connect flash even if it fails that will brick it enough to cause a forced download mode on the phone which then u can reflash without to much issue :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Sometimes u can soft brick to the point that no method will work besides a jig to get anything to recognize the phone. I would say that out of all of my 20 or so soft bricks on galaxy s phones (captivate,vibrant,sgs 4g,ect) i have had at liest 5 that were not recoverable by any method but the jig! If this is the problem because no method gets you to download mode including not having adb or odin recognize the phone then U WILL NEED A JIG.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
i have my own riff box n stuff so even hard bricks are not insurmountable :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ab102:
Nevermind guys i fixed it...None of those methods worked..it turned out i could flash the rom while on the semi-bricked screen.neverthless i still ordered a JIG just in case for future....So i used odin and flashed it to PDA..works great..call logs fixed.i think it was causing problems before because of the gingerbread bootloaders...thanks guys for your help..

Bricked phone 6/28 odin root+deodex 2.3.3

did you reinstall the same rom over the previous one next time go to stock rom and reflash the new one of stock that's what i always do haven't had a problem yet just takes more time that's all
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bumblephuk:
I got the rainbow fuzz after a flash fail and using a different USB port on the computer gave me a connection to reflash.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dapperdanman55:
I'm new to the whole smartphone thing but I am very interested in rooting it. Its a droid charge. I am about to download odin but my question is do I need a different memory card or different usb cord other than the one it came with. All I have is what came in the box with the phone, is this enough to root the phone safely. I have alot more research to do, but I can't find an answer to this question. I see something talking about removing the card aswell, is this the card that it came with?

Also can anyone link a legit video or guide to using odin and what is the best and safest ROM to use to date, 6/28/11. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] deadwolfbones:
I got my Charge yesterday and rooted/ROM'd it the same day. I used this thread as a guide and it worked perfectly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657

What came in the box is enough to get you going. ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] dapperdanman55:
Thanks for the reply.

I got a few more questions now... I plan on using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657 as a guide. But some of the words and stuff are confusing to me and I really can't afford to mess this up, literally.

1. When it says install droid drivers does that meen to the computer or phone or both?

2. Is there a way to backup all the contacts or is that all through the gmail account (pretty sure it is but just clarifying)?

Also is there a way to download the stock version with all the settings to my computer incase there is a problem? Or is the only way to download an EE4 stock version found on the internet.

3. I would like to do the voodoo lagfix as well as a root/rom. Should I do voodoo after I get the Root/rom set up? And is doing voodoo lagfix similar to doing a root with odin.

4. Last question I can think of right now is which ROM is the best to date. I only see a few and is stock EE4 deodexed just meen you can take away certain apps that you cannot if not rooted? I really want to delete some of the useless apps that are on there like some golf thing and others like it. Are there any apps that I should not touch that are vital to the phone?

-EE4 Debloated V4.2.1 (is this the same as Deodexed and what does it meen exactally)

-Gummycharged 1.5

-peanutbutta jelly time

-Altered Beast

I basically am looking for a Rom thats fast (obviously) and very customizable and reliable. So whats the best one up to date.

Thanks for anyone that reads this and gives input. Really appreciate it.

I know alot of this info is probably out there but when I search for things people use words that I am unfamiliar with because I have never had a phone that can text before let alone a smart phone.

Edit: Thought of something else. I want to have access to all of the same things I have access to app-wise on stock or more. I think that all of the ROMS should let you do that but just checking. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
you can have access to all and MORE if you are rooted :)

Good Luck

my answers are in your quoted text above
[Verizon Droid Charge] dapperdanman55:
^^ thanks alot
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
1: There are drivers you need to download and install on your computer, you won't be touching your phone until told so in the guide (except for the part where it tells you to install zip from SD card, he never said to drag & drop your kernel/ROM onto the root of the SD card

2: Your Gmail sync will backup your contacts if you allowed it too, and there are EE1 and EE2 stock ROMs you can flash which would revert you back to stock (no root, no superuser, just.. stock) and then you can update to EE4 the same way you did when you got the phone.

3: Use the guide you were linked in the first reply, I'm a first time rooter and that guide worked flawlessly

4: Personally I find GummyCharged 1.8.5 to be the best but take a look at the new Humble ROM, it's still new (which is why I haven't flashed it yet) but Danalo is updating frequently and is currently in development of what could be the best Charge ROM to date, low power, speedy and a nice look... I'm just waiting a little bit til all the bugs and such are sorted out since, as I've said, it's still new :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] dapperdanman55:
I already flashed the gummycharged and it worked but i would like to try humble. Do I have to wipe it and get it back to stock. I instaled cwm and pbj oc and gummy charged. Do i have to wipe everything and then redo pbj and cwm?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] apascual89:
No you can flash it with odin right over gummy. When it boots into recovery the first time you bot, just wipe data, cahe and dalvik cache
[HD2 General] dicksonjoe:
I am currently using the nexus hd2 rom. I have 150 mb of data monthly and all i use it for is messaging such as ebuddy, whatsapp and liveprofile. I used 2 weeks of data for instant messaging everyday for about 7 hours a days and my service provider says i've used up all 150 mb. Do instant messaging take up that much data?????????
[HD2 General] p107r0:
Dont't have good explanation why, probably lots of apps calling home on their own, it would be good to find some app for monitoring data usage per app. What I do to keep withing limits is set most of the apps to sync only over WiFi (if there's such option) and no more then once per day plus lock all the rest with DroidWall and LBE. Pluse some widget for monitoring data usage (like DroidStats).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digital cocky:
I started having a problem with my phone today after I flashed cyanogen mod nightly 114 where the usb wont recognize the phone or charge it. Also it wont charge when its turned on but it will charge when I'm using the HTC usb cable and its plugged into the wall while turned off. I have tried rebooting the phone, fixing the permissions, and going to a earlier backup but nothing seems to work now. It started happening right after I flashed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyrios:
I have the same problem. I am running CM7 RC1 and Savaged Zen SBC kernel. I thought it was the cable, but I tried many cables, many charges including OEM and get the same weird behavior. Also, I noticed if you have a good charge (let's say above 90%) and you charge it, it will sometimes charge while the phone is on without a problem.

I don't know if this is a ROM problem or not. I came from Ultimate Droid, which I didn't have a problem with, but the developer is MIA.

I will be flashing to another ROM this weekend and se if that fixes the problem.

This is pretty annoying!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyrios:
I flashed the stock EVO rom this weekend and I can confirm that the problem is a combination of ROM and charger/cables.

When I was using CM7, it didn't matter what cable/charger I was using, it was not charing. Light will come on when I plugged in the phone and it would go off in a few seconds if the phone was on. If the phone was off, it seemed to worked ok.

Now with the Stock Rom, I can charge it while the phone is on but only using certain charges (not all USB chargers work) and certain cables do not work. the OEM charger and cable works perfect, and also the OEM cable and certain chargers I have. I have also tried with other cables and chargers and it seems ok. I guess some cables are not ideal to charge the EVO. Some of these cables I bought on eBay, and they said they were supposed to work with the EVO.

Since RadioShack has now a trade program, I might exchange my EVO eventually and get the EVO 3D. It is faster, has more memory, allows to uninstall bloatware and eventually (August/September) it will be unlocked.

IMPORTANT this will required a goldcard.. but your can try first without making one..

yehs you can... one of the easiest way is.. if you have any one around having android phone.. just put your memorycard in that phone.. and in market search for an app called goldcard helper..it will give you your reverse CID..

If you dont have that .. than also there is a way.. but it will take time and you need to do lots of thing..

what you can do is.. if you are using windows pc.. than you can install... virtual machine.. and install linux in it.. so when you open linux.. you can get your memory card cid from there.. i dont knw the exact steps.. but you can easly find on Google.. ...

Once you got CID.. you can follow the above goldcard guide.. from step 7..

On a other note.. remove memorycard from your mobile.. and than flash the RUU .. see what happer.. you may never know
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonybravo4u:
i think you should try to make ADB work.. thought when I bricked my mobile .. i was not able to use ADB.. so I use my friend mobile to get CID... I dont knw if this tool will work witout ADB.. but try this too
