works like a charm
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
What you think? Do you want to see linux distro on your phone? Hehe lets try it:)

Here is simple how to, I will try to boot Debian in our phone, if someone is interested, lets try
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
ok but, i dont understand what is the usage?

what do you get more than android?
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
I think its only for the win. There is a win95 port for HD2, pretty useless for sure :)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
I will get real linux machine on my phone
[HD Mini Android Development] goldenorb:
you don't have time to debug camera capture but to port debian ?!
[HD Mini Android Development] bruce2728:
It's up to him how he spends his time, or are you his boss/wife?
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Yes u are apsolute right. I got cm6, got cm7, and I want to try to get Debian because Debian for me more important and useful than the camera. And yes, I not have time to work with camera right now, on my part is enough that camera image is not backwards, I'm fixed this! Also, I see that it is not enough for you! Impatient are you? Yes I'm also! Welcome back goldenorb :cool:
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
I think no problem doing other OSes, it just needing time porting, also it's good :) .....

but right now.. maybe we should done one stable android for our htc mini first. cause the status is near final.
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
If you see I'm working with android! Each theme goes into ofttopic I do not know why. Friends, this is a topic related to Debian, do you understand? I agre with you but let's back to Debian, thanks!
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
do you have a video or pictures of a phone under debian?
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
No, I think this is only hardest problem becouse I not know if it working in background or not, will investigate
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Here you find an Ubuntu ROM running on HD2 (Leo)
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
thanks codiak!

i answer myself:

video on the link look awesome! its a real computer!

but on htc photon, i doubt the screen is big enough to enjoy it...
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
+1 to the screensize. But at least, its possible ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
As I promised :) but minimalist without x system...I will try to upgrade

http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4339/img0721du.jpg
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
wauuu :eek: perl, python, gcc...etc :eek: in photon...great...installed ssh server and started but could not access device from putty, hmmm maybe android blocking access
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
And first config screen http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/6245/img0724y.jpg not know how to apply OK hmm
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
wow awesome!
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
I think you need to connect usb keyboard and add usb driver for it ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
maybe, but I got it from putty, instaled x system and other thing and tomorow will try something:)

We need to fix kernel console also for our port!
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Done ;) next is native Debian:)

I could not upload it becouse size of 3gb:o Good things is it is so good :eek: I'm tried compiling under phone and compilers...etc working like in real computer, only bad news is not know how to boot it without android (becouse we not have working console I not know how to debug it)...I will try to make image!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unEjCJeLMMQ
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
Very Thankful, :)

Great job, you're one of the best XDA htc mini developers here. ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
Here is new Debian Squeeze with full screen :) .. but is in testing faze I will upload first testing version for our phone soon... enjoy with this picture until I finish it
[HD Mini Android Development] motefarreghe:
hi,thanks for your efforts

can you explaine about Debian??
[HD Mini Android Development] munjeni:
http://www.debian.org/intro/about
[HD Mini Android Development] kiretocin:
this is ok, but why aren't you focusing on stabile android for our phone? :)
[HD Mini Android Development] iPlasm:
He will test others, that's not problem. even it's better :)

And soon stable Android will be available... autumn
[HD Mini Android Development] pietje63:
I can imagine that he likes to "play" with our tests as well. Furthermore, he may learn a lot from Debian (for example in case certain hardware parts appear to be working there)
[HD Mini Android Development] motefarreghe:
stable Android will come in the autumn!!?

what about bootloader,too??!!
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
good job :)
[HD Mini Android Development] ToughGuy:
good job!

i want to try it..
[HD Mini Android Development] multiwirth:
Debian on HD Mini ?

I want to try... ;)

But I really really want to see a fully working Android on this Phone... :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhesselmans:
hi guys,

I'm flashing CM7.0.3. Everything seemed to run for like 4 months but about a week ago, my phone started freezing up randomly. When I'm in any application, it just freezes up, about 4 times an hour, so it's really annoying. The screen just displays what ever it was displaying when the phone froze and doesn't go to sleep. I just can't do anything. All I can do is do a batterypull. It started happening after I installed ADW EX so i uninstalled it. That didn't help... I posted this problem on the cyanogen forum too but that didn't help...

Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Maybe try flashing the ROM again. CM7 has had a lot of updates in the past 4 months anyway, and is on version 7.1. You might even be able to update the ROM without wiping data. But if the problem persists, try wiping dalvik, cache, data and re-flash.
[Imagio General] bacho4:
I could not see Georgian Symbols in HTC imagio, so I add in the phone Georgian Sylfaen, and after this phone recognize Georgian symbols good. But I have one problem I instaled one Georgian program. Also The program has an internal menu in Georgian, and I can't see Georgian symbols. But when I disable in settings HTC-Sense (phone skin)

Then I see symbols. What can I do HTC-Sense recognize Georgian symbols? :(

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Finally got around to use my Sprint number as GV number. This adds an option to send/receive text from GV. Way cool that I was able to text with just a wifi connection while in Dominican Republic w/o phone service.

Back in states now and I get sms twice, once in native app and once in gv... along with two notifications. Would like to use native sms and notifications, but can't figure out how to disable GV text notifications w/o also disabling vm notifications. Is it possible?

Options are for checkbox "notify via text msg" which I assume means a text msg will be sent to ur phone when u have gv vm/sms( which I've never gotten)? And the other option is to have status bar notifications, but I think that will disable both sms and vm status bar notifications.

Guess I could just disable notifications from native app, and uncheck send sms to this phone from gv on the pc?

Also seems the spring integration gv has removed the option to place calls using gv?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
"Also seems the spring integration gv has removed the option to place calls using gv?"

the google voice app will change once u enable integration. You no longer need to use the "call using google voice" option because it will automatically use gv to make long distance calls for you. Billing for this is done through your google account NOT your sprint account and it no longer requires data (wifi or 3g) to call using gv.

It's integrated.

Regarding your notifications:

Menu -> More -> Settings -> sync and notifications

uncheck "synch inbox"

check "notify via text messages"

All text messages will now come through your native sms client only.

Of course you can still view your text in the gv app by forcing a refresh as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Thanks will try that, but will I still get cm notifications?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Lot's of settings from the PC and GV app, hard to understand how thew all work together? Tried lot's of combinations...

Think I'm gonna stop using native sms app and just use gv for all sms and vm. Nice that it keeps a log of all (both in and out) across all devices. And you don't have to restore sms after a fresh flash and wipe.

Does seem to be somewhat of a delay sending sms from gv. How do other's have it set up?

Can gv do mms?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
For now on the PC:

Under phone.. uncheck receive text

Under vm/text..uncheck email and sms notifications to phone

Under native app...notifications off (will gv pick up inbound mms)?

Under gv app..sync inbox, uncheck notify via text msg, and check inbox notifications

Does that sound about right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
I think you're confusing yourself a bit...and me as well. What is it EXACTLY that u want to happen?

Do u want to receive text using the gv app or the native messaging app?

I receive all notifications through my native app only. I do this because you can only receive mms messages through the native app (GV does NOT work with mms).

I also receive vm notifications through my native app. However, in open the gv app to listen to them. This is the only reason I use the gv app.

If this sounds like what u want then do the following:

PHONE:

Synch inbox - unchecked

Text Msg - checked (btw..this option is the same as checking "receive texts messages on this phone" from the pc).

PC (voice.google.com) :

under voicemail - "Send a text (SMS) message to Cell" - checked

under phone - "Receive text messages on this phone" - checked (AGAIN...this is the same as checking "Text Messages" on the GV app on your phone)

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Thanks! It helps a lot understanding that some of the gv app settings on the phone are the same as google.com/voice.

Yeah... way confusing. Started out as a cool way to get sms while overseas. When I came back it was weird to get double notifications and seeing some sms show up in the native app and some in GV. I think it would be a lot easier if GV had a way to differentiate between sms and vm notifications, but it appears its all or nothing. Options, to summarize:

1. Your way: all sms/mms and associated notifications come through native app. VM notifications also come to you as a text message, and you then open up GV to view/listen to vm. Question: Does GV keep a log of all your incoming/outgoing text messages?

2. My proposed way: all sms and vm and their notifications are handled by GV. MMS bypasses gv and I get the mms and notification in the native app (I turned native notifications back on). All incoming/outgoing sms messages are logged in GV (even text sent from native app) AND available across all my devices (Nook Color and google.com/voice)... which is kind of cool because I can pick up the conversation w/o my Epic. It's just weird how GV app breaks down the conversations... I've got like four different threads each containing several sms to/from Missy. Don't understand why they're not all combined as conversation with Missy.

So clear as mud... still interested in how others have it set up?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
Yeah, I really hate how gv does message threading too...that's y I use the native app. Hopefully they upgrade the app soon. When they do I'll switch over completely.

All incoming text messages are recorded in gv whether u receive it in the native app or not. I'm not sure about outgoing though. I believe they are recorded too but the only way to know for sure is to test it yourself.
[LG Optimus 2x] joiN85:
Hi all!

Please HELP me!

I've flashed my Optimus 2x with SmartFlash and I press "Erase CAL"

Now I've a different IMEI code! :(

I ask community for help!!!

Thanks to all!!!

Please HELP!!!!!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] joiN85:
no one can help me? :(:(:(
[LG Optimus 2x] len.asdf:
I thought it was impossible to change you're IMEI?
[LG Optimus 2x] Grantzxr:
622 flashes fine when you follow the instructions!

SmartFlash for P990 is for use on Windows PCs.

To use P990 flash to flash this baseband:•Download the utility file below

•Download the driver file below

•Download the baseband file below

•Run the SmartFlashTool_P990.exe application on your PC

•Turn device off, remove battery, plug device in while holding volume down - you should see a software update message on screen and the COM port should be filled automatically in the flash application below after installing the drivers if required.

•Select the 'ROM Copy D/L' tab

•Ensure 'Normal Mode' is selected

•Ensure 'Erase CAL' is NOT selected

•Click the browse button next to 'CP Bin:' and select the baseband (FLS) file

•Click 'Start' and wait for the flash to complete
[LG Optimus 2x] joiN85:
I selected "Erase CAL"

This is my error! :(:(

there are no solutions? :(
[LG Optimus 2x] keijers:
try this, i've found it on another forum:

and another 'solution':

So basically try to revert back to the original baseband + ril and firmware version and it 'should' work again, you maybe have to check the ERASE CP again, but I would try that if the rest didn't work. Maybe you can also try to revert back to original and update via LG tool. Give it a try...
[LG Optimus 2x] joiN85:
many thanks!!!!!

now I feel

thanks again!
[LG Optimus 2x] keijers:
so it worked? or are you going to try to make it work?
[LG Optimus 2x] joiN85:
No it did not work :(:(:(:(:(:(

I do not know what to do :(:(:(:(

Looks like Skype is starting to roll video calling out to Android phones.

Sadly the Atrix is not one of the first phones that video calling is enabled on.

Anyone care to take a stab at getting it to work on the Atrix? Maybe a build.prop edit will suffice?

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
well obviously it won't, it wasn't released for the atrix. we would have to edit some files within the apk or to get the apk to think we were a compatible device for it to work.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
I use my Gtablet all day and I always shut it off and turn it back on ( boot it up) and ofcourse that takes 2 minutes or so.

Will it do any harm (or kill battery etc) if I leave the Gtablet on all the time like a pc ( maybe re-booting once a week or so) and just hit the power button to shut the screen off. Just dont want to kill my device by leaving it on all day and night. Just curious if anyone does this and if theres any harm to the device.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarheelGrad1998:
It will drain battery faster, so you will have to charge it more. That will probably reduce the life of the battery as well, since it will have more cycles.

I do the same as you, turn it on when I first use it and shut it down at night. No reason to drain a battery overnight, IMO.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
Forgot to add that I leave it plugged in and charging all the time until I use . But yeah I guess turning it on at night and shutting off before bed is not a bad idea.

Thank you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I've been confused by this situation, becuase when I first got mine, I made the opposite comment and was made too look like an idiot.

There was a post a while ago regarding how to get better battey life. People were complaining that their G-Tablet would lose too much battery life when left in sleep at night (not plugged in) I made the comment "Why not just turn it off?" and people responded with "Because it's a tablet."

Having NO IDEA what they meant, I asked what they were taloking about. Basically they explained to me that a tablet should be treated as a cellphone, not a computer. "You don't turn your phone off at night, do you?" was one question asked of me.

I'm still lost, becuase frankly, I think that they were just being stupid. The tablet IS more like a computer than a phone, as far as battery drain goes. I'd be in a world of trouble if my battery only had a 10 hour drain while in standby.

SO, I turn it off, and leave it plugged in at night. I use it all day, then plug it in (while on) in the evening so that I can access it if needed. Then, before bed, I turn it off, and just let it charge all night. occasionally, I will leave it plugged in an on at night. I figured that's what I do with my cell phone too, right?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
Leave it on, all the time.

My wife and I both leave ours on, all the time (well she has too because it will not boot once turned off unless I nvflash it). There is no reason to turn it off unless you have to have longer than a day for battery life and are opposed to charging it every day.

I take it off the charger at 7:00am when I leave for work and then put it back on the charger later that night. Depending on how much I used it (were lots of apps updated, did I run another titanium backup, etc...) determines if I need to plug in earlier or not.

My wife leaves hers on the dock and takes it off to use, then places it back when done.

To help with battery life though you can set the screen timeout to a low time...so once you stop using it....the screen will timeout quickly and put the tablet to sleep.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Here is my very uninformed opinion on this debate.

The PC is designed for you to turn it off when you're not using it. The phone/tablet is designed to be on all the time and just be put to sleep when you're not using it.

The first sign of this is the OS itself. In windows and mac platform, once a program is running it will continue to run and run and run like that annoying rabbit until you stop it. And if you leave those programs running in the background they will do nothing but eat up your memory. What you then have to do every once in a while is to reboot.

In fact, back in the first gulf war there was an incident where a computer controlling the anti-missile defense system of a base was left on too long. They kept leaving it on because they were worried about incoming missiles. When the real missiles came flying, the system had already used up all its memory and made inaccurate calculations to counter. I think a few people died as a result. The incident could have been prevented if they had rebooted the computer. I remember reading about it back then.

Anyway, android is designed for your phone, which is meant to be on literally all the time. Especially with froyo and up, there are built-in systems to shut down running apps that aren't being used. Memory cycles also act differently so you don't run out of memory the way you do with PC.

Another thing is there is such a thing as turning it on and off too much. A significant determination of the lifetime of your electronic devices is how many times you turn it on and off. Not only that, The lifetime of your battery (how many cycles of charges you can have) also depends on the age more so than the actual number of times you recharge it.

You can very easily experiment with this by buying a brand new camera battery and just let it sit there. After a couple years, even though you've barely used it, you could only get less than an hour (sometimes even much less) even though when you bought it it's suppose to last your camera a whole 3 hours with a full charge.

That said, I'm running calkulin+clemsyn combo with cpu master setting the speed to 1.0 ghz most of the time. It's only when I want to impress people do I put it up to 1.5 ghz. I've tried both methods. For a couple weeks, I would turn it off every night and on every morning. Then for the next couple weeks I've been keeping it on all the time and only putting it to sleep while docked at night.

And I know this is only anecdotal evidence and is perhaps meaningless in science (I'm a researcher) but the gtab appears to be working a lot smoother and better when left on all the time.

Just my 2 cents.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad_z:
It's a tablet, by design it suppose be turned on and be ready to use in no time at all when you fancy to dig up internet or watch movie, netflix etc.

The one way to achieve such readiness is to never shut it down. But from other hand, why waste energy when not in use.

So, here we go with "sleep" mode which is by the way implemented in Android 2.2 and 2.3 very poorly (in comparison with iOS). gTablet with Froyo, GB would typically loose 0.9-1.5% of charge per hour "sleeping" and then again there might be runaway apps which stuck in endless loop and will kill your battery in no time.

I've tried lot's of things and nothing can bring down discharge rate in "sleep" mode less then numbers above. So, I just keep my gtablet charging overnight.

Sometimes I just shut it down. Especially, when I found the way to speed-up cold start from 2 min. previously down to 40 sec.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaccdroid:
Thanks all very informative and appreciate all the opinions.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buchaneer.nl:
I turn my gtab off at night but charge it only when necessary. I never use it while plugged in. I don't see the parallel between gtab & cell phone since I've not missed a call on gtab;)
