I'm gonna Kies update to 2.2 then try superoneclick again.

I'll keep y'all posted (I know the anticipation is just killing you, right?)

EDIT: Update was successful, superoneclick was again unsuccessful. Got the same error as said above. Any ideas?

EDIT2: I got it, forgot to unmount the sd card -_____- thanks again for the help guys
[Vibrant General] kyle51:
2.1 is eaasier to root, just put the update.zip on the phone, go to recovery, reinstall packages and done :)
[Vibrant General] Stargazer3777:
Here are the two files, update is the superuser, and update clockwork is recovery.

1. Put the files in the root of your phone storage.

2. reboot to (Stock) recovery

3. reinstall packages, you are rooted.

rename the update file to something else, and then rename the clockwork file update. Repeat the above steps to install Clockwork Mod Recovery

As long as you are on JFD 2.1, and have not Kies Mini updated to Froyo yet, you should be Shiny. If you did update, I would try the modified 3eRecovery installer again.

http://www.talkietech.com/samsung-droid-charge-skinomi-sk4922.html

Has anyone had experience with both brands? I'm not sure which one I should go with. Not really into cases because they add bulk and make the phone unable to fit on car or desk docks. But I do want to put skin over the oil-and-fingerprint-happy too slippery battery door.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrtruckincowboy:
they both look the same I would take the cheepest one which looks like the body armor one
[Verizon Droid Charge] reissgrant:
I haven't used either, but I think I've seen that body guard carbon case or something very similar on ebay for a lot cheaper.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Krew_:
My black carbon phantom skinz should be here before the end of the week. I might put it on later because I'm rocking the incipio right now .But I'll let you know how the build quality is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] epionx111:
the phantomskinz is probably the nicest ones

i had fitment issues tho... I had some excess vinyl... so I just said screw it... I like it all slick.

if it gets scratched I can just buy another one on ebay.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
I tried a Phantom one recently, the back cover didnt cover the entire battery door.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Krew_:
Got mine in today. And decided to just put the battery part on. Everything went on smoothly until I got to bottom part. I could not get it to stick evenly. So now it has little crease marks at the bottom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
Which one did you get? And do you have pictures of the edges? I've decided to get a 4"x8" piece and cut it myself.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Krew_:
Its in my above post, the edges don't go all the way to the edge. If you wanna make your own I thought of ordering a pre cut one and using that as a stencil to trace. I'll try to get pics of the edges tomorrow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Krew_:
Hope this helps
[Verizon Droid Charge] htcdesirezgeorge:
Truth be told, I would spend a fe extra bucks and get the Trident Aegis series case for it. It is similar to an Otterbox but MUCH less disgusting looking. It comes in several different colors(mine is green) and I have never been happier with a case!
[Verizon Droid Charge] m0unds:
+1 for the Aegis case. I've been a big otterbox fan for years, but my G2 case bummed me out and didn't "last" nearly as well as other otterbox cases I've owned. That being said, the Aegis case for this device is awesome, built well, fits well and feels substantial.

Also, re: the topic, of the two, I prefer the skinomi skins/screen protectors myself. I've had them on a bunch of different devices, and love them. I ended up getting an oleophobic SGP screen protector for my charge, and it's been great so far as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jkcheng122:
The whole of looking at skins though is because some of us just don't want the bulk of cases and also inability to dock the phones on the OEM car and desk mounts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] haza12d:
Do these skins cover the entire phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
I almost got the Aegis, but after looking at a video review of the case it is HUGE and they said that it almost doubles the weight of the phone. So I ended up going with the Incipio Silicrylic case that should be here in a couple days (I don't use the HDMI port anyway so I don't mind it being covered).

I just don't drop my phone enough to really need a bulky case.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
I have had a skinomi techskin on my charge for about a month and a half now it has served me well. I'd definitely recommend it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] michelle.ahern:
Skinomi is the best allthough it looks like crap if you screw up installing it.

[XPERIA X10 General] apr1000:
Hey, so I think many of you guys have random reboots, I have a few a week and sometimes my phone restarts to the lock screen and shuts off again and i have to let it cool down before i do anything.

So i read the SE forum and some dude said that set cpu will help with this problem. So Im wondering if any of you have tried this and it has worked...

also the custom roms, do they also help in this case? I know some are undervolted/overclocked.

doesn't overclocking make it worse or something?

can someone explain...

also someone said it has to do with the signal...i get full signal and it still reboots/shuts off.

i think it has to do with heat and that's about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] pmmaster:
This happens when you have some bad welds on ur phone motherboard. I read few articles from chinese tech sites abt this issue. My 1st x10 acts like urs, nothing could change it but buy a new one.
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I am afraid that is true.

It sounds like a motherboard issue.

If you are out of warranty and/or you can't get a new phone,

try installing SetCPU and set it up according to the settings on my signature.

It could help a little, since the CPU will be working in lower frequencies.

Good luck!
[XPERIA X10 General] japinder:
Underclock using a custom kernel like FreeKernel Mod 3.60 & using Set CPU/Master CPU set lowest frquency to 128 MHz, while limiting the max frequency below 998 MHz to see if you can get heat under control...

You will take some hit on performance.

Also, try to keep the phone in as much air as possible, use without case & keep out of packet as far as possible etc...

Nothing too useful, that's about it.

[Intercept General] nyioo7:
I have recently bricked my phone by flashing with SPH M920 (Samsung Transform) image and it went out completely. No post blankscreen and nothing came on. I realized that it was bricked but I also noticed that it is still running in the background. With my experience with computers, I noticed that my phone isn't bricked as in fully dead but rather still working with different software. Becaue of the software incompatibility, the screen doesn't turn on and the sound doesn't work because they do not work the same way in every software. (Kind of like when you install wrong driver for a hardware and it doesn't know what to do).

Since I know that I flashed it with Samsung Transform image, I downloaded Transform drivers from Samsung website and installed them. I tried multiple combo of keys to get my blankscreen phone to download mode and I finally got it by pressing Volume Up + Camera + End (The normal combo key is Volume Down + Camera + End). From there, I ran SWUpgrade and there it was, it was connected.

From there, the only thing I did was flash the stock virginmobile kernel (Sorry, the forums won't let me post link so you can just google the file.)

After doing there, the screen came back on. That's it. From there, you can just follow the guide in this forum called "Get your Virgin Intercept back to stock (even after 2.2 upgrade)" by showson1.

Thank you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to do so.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tali123:
I want to update to honeycomb and get one of those cool custom themes going and DELETE ALL THIS FREAKEN BLOATWARE but how do I do all that? Can anyone point me in the direction of some guides? I used the search and either found outdated or guides that just linked to other site.

Please help, thank you.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] voxigenboy:
well, since you have root, an easy way is to just download ROM Manager from the market. Then just download a ROM you want to try and put it on your phones sd card. Then just tell ROM Manager to install it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggywh:
I had an old tablet that I would use ES File Explorer on and be able to connect to my home network. When I went to open anything from it, I'd get a menu pop up asking me what program I wanted to use to open the file up. My old tablet was underpowered though and couldn't really stream anything because of it.

I now have a Nook Color and I'm running CM7 on it. I've downloaded ES File Explorer, setup network access and I'm able to access my files. However, every time I try to access a file through my network, it tries opening up the file in ES File Explorer. I don't get any popup menu asking me what program I'd like to use. ES File Explorer won't let me stream any video files and I have several other programs installed and would like to try to stream through them.

Can anyone help me out here? What am I missing that would allow me to choose what program a file will run through?

Thank you!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFLATLINEI:
I had the same issue awhile back. Just went back after reading your post and its no different. Since then I've been using TVersity to stream my video.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onclebob:
You can try to clear default action for es file explorer in the application manager under settings (sorry, my nook is in french, i haven't the real translation of menu names..)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
I've been looking for a good program. I might try buying plex as it's on sale at amazon this week. But honestly, I can't give you any other advice. If i end up getting it, I'll let you know.

EDIT: Just read in it's description, not optimized for tablets or larger screen. So that's not going to work for us. Sorry.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFLATLINEI:
Did it work and allow you to select a new default player? It didnt work for me:confused:

Edit: I tried deleting and re installing. It allowed me to select a new default player for local files only. Still cant select new video player for network files.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggywh:
Thanks for the reply guys. I couldn't get it to work either, so I ended up just installing cifsmanager and mounting my file server. I still then have to use a different file browser to select what video player I'm goig to use, but that's not much of a big deal.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I haven't been streaming anything, but I was using ES for quite a while, and ended up trading it in for File Expert, which is a bit more polished and doesn't give me the issues ES did. I just tried, and wasn't able to stream media with Moboplayer, but File Expert did give me the option to choose an app, so maybe it would work with a different video player.

It was a little odd how it worked: navigate to video file, tap, and it prompts me to choose a web browser (?); once the browser opens, however, I get a new prompt to choose a media player. Like I said, Moboplayer failed to play the files (tried .avi and mp4), but you said you had other players that might work.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iggywh:
Rockplayer Lite should play those files.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
You are correct, thanks :) I would recommend File Expert over ES in general, and it looks like it would also solve your problem, though I see you took other steps already.

Which one would you upgrade to and why?
[EVO 4G General] shortbus182:
They both seem like good contenders, but personally I am going for the within(galaxy II) unless sprint decides to put a keyboard on it. The sammys cameras have always been on the top list, and watching some vids on the sgs2, the phone destroys all other benchmarks. This video shows a side by side comparison with the 3d, and the sammy seems to win in every category. Motorola has big shoes to fill...

[EVO 4G General] ricocollege:
Photon has a photo button and kickstands and higher resolution. And we don't know the sg2 is faster, it has not been tested against the photon. There is rumored to be a Tegra 2 version on the sg2 out there and we might get that one in the us making it almost the same as the photon. Just saying
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I think you should check em both out and see which one you like more. People are acting like the sgs2 is some sort of god phone bit really all of these phones are so similarly spec'd that it really comes down to personal preference. I have the E3D and everything about it is sick. I may get an sgs2 to replace my OG EVO though as I would prefer that over the Motorola.

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] slag02:
I have had bad luck with samsung hardware

but man that photon4g is wayy to sexy
[EVO 4G General] stretchwookie:
i woud go sgs2. but as said above, it REALLY depends on the processor. ofc, if it gets tegra 2, itll be the same, then its really cosmetics and stock ui... but from what ive read, the Exynos/Orion processors are MUCH faster than the competition. even at 1ghz, the exynos is supposed to be able to beat the tegra. fingers crossed. :D
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
The Photon, only because the Samsung GSII might not come in CDMA flavor (carrier blocking), from what I've read.

Otherwise, yeah the GSII.
[EVO 4G General] cnstarz:
how active are the development communities for samsung and motorola compared to HTC?
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
HTC>Samsung>Motorola
[EVO 4G General] UCChemE05:
This is what could really keeps me from considering the Photon but on the other hand, I really want the extra resolution the 3D and Photon have.
[EVO 4G General] schale01:
Another thing to consider is time to market with Software updates. Although the E3D, SGS2, and Photon all launch with Android 2.3 certain manufacturers are quicker and better at releasing official updates.

I for one have not seen a Samsung firmware release go as planned in over a year. Their updates seem to take forever and when they do roll out they are still buggy (The latest Froyo update to the Sprint version of the SGS was pulled twice before a proper release was done). HTC on the other hand updates first and updates often and very rarely has issues. As far as Motorola is concerned... I can't say as the Photon is the first Moto phone we will be carrying in a long time. That being said I am looking forward to the Photon but my biggest concern is SW support both official and third party.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
The Photon is also launching with 2.2.......that and a locked bootloader is reason enough to not get it.

Tegra 2 is also overrated and the Adreno 220 and Exynos easily match, and even beat it in some benchmarks.

I haven't read it confirmed, but it seems likely that it will also have a Pentile display, so despite the higher resolution, it won't look as sharp, as say the screen on the EVO3D.
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
So it doesn't have a root yet like the 3d, ok
[EVO 4G General] schale01:
No the Photon is definitely launching with 2.3

source: http://now.sprint.com/p4/?ECID=vanity:photon

It is unconfirmed as to if the boot loader will be locked, at least I have not had a reliable source confirm it. I'll see if I can corner the Motorola rep next time I see him though. If it's anything like the Atrix bootloader it shouldn't be much of an issue though. See:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/motorola-to-unlock-atrix-bootloader-in-future-update/

I am unfamiliar with the differences between a Pentile display and the one the Evo 3D uses. Can you elaborate on how it is inferior?
[EVO 4G General] Dan_:
I'd get the SG2
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:

[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
Love my E3D but since this is for the photon or sgs2 then I would choose the sgs2.
[EVO 4G General] b.huss2:
i'm getting the photon. i'm sick of samsung and their lousy and untimely updates. it's between the evo3d and the photon for me, and the "3d" on the new evo really means nothing to me. motorola devices have always been high quality. i won't like the locked bootloader but sammy's record did it for me i guess. the unknown of the photon trumps samsung's terrible record.
[EVO 4G General] cg 112358:
dont base your choice SOLELY on the opinions of others. yea, use them to help you out but, when it comes down to it, it's YOUR choice...not theirs. so play around with each phone (I'm assuming you're waiting on the SGSII to land in order to do this anyway so you have the patience already lol). which ever you like better should be the one you get.

of course the photon doesn't have root yet....IT'S NOT RELEASED :p give it time...it will get it especially since Moto is looking to unlock the bootloader of the Atrix (dunno if it has been done yet)...they'll probably do the same with the Photon (probably not right out of the box tho)

when I was upgrading from the Hero, I went through the same thing (had to choose between OG Evo, Shift and Epic). I wanted the bigger screen so the shift was out right away. I played with both the Evo and the Epic and yea the Epic was better specs (the 1gHz Hummingbird vs 1gHz Snapdragon, Super AMOLED vs LED) but it just felt cheap to me (IMO that seems to be with A LOT of Samsung phones...i've had quite a few over the years and so did a friend of mine and they (the phones) all seemed like that). I knew the Evo had the better development community but that didn't affect my decision.

long story short, choose what YOU feel would be the better fit for YOU. test them out (also look at the Evo 3D to see what the others are talking about when it comes to the screen)

[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I went to the sprint store to check out the Epic... It blows the photon out of the water. The screen is wayyyy better, and it's thinner. While the photon felt slow and somewhat laggy, the Epic touch was as smooth as can be, by far the smoothest android phone I've ever used. According to others, it has good battery life as well, so I see no reason to go with the photon.

I would personally pic epic 4g touch if you are a gamer
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:

[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
The photon does not have a higher resolution than the SGS 2. The Photon has a 4.3 inch qhd screen and the Epic 4G touch has a 4.5 inch Super AMOLED screen which has the highest resolution on a phone out right now. The SGS 2 is the way to go. The photon is trash.
[EVO 4G General] massivebasset:
Uhh what?

The SGS2 is WVGA 800x480 resolution, 4.5" physical size, and Super AMOLED Plus

The Photon is qHD 960x540 resolution, 4.3" physical size, and Super LCD (I think)

The Photon has higher resolution. The Super AMOLED Plus screen of the SGS2 certainly has its advantages, resolution is not one of them.

Imo, go to a sprint store and check them both out in person. View some web pages, forums, etc. See if you think the extra resolution is necessary.

You're silly...there's so much fail in this smh WRONG *charlie murphy voice*

Sgs2 has the same resolution as the EVO 4G while photon has a quarter hd and looks better imo. Sgs2 isnt that impressive to be honest. Only thing it has going is that 4.5" inch screen and i hear it drives the boys wild lolol. Its a thin plastic piece of **** samsung phone that id be scared to place im my pocket. I could have purchased a sgs2 but i went with photon for many reasons ex: webtop, qhd, better radio/battery, 16gb internal including micro sd slot, and games love tegra 2 devices!

correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Motorola make hardware on phones, some type of fuse, that if root was attempted it would brick the phone? I remember reading that somewhere a while back in a magazine. But that could have been a plan that didn't go through or is not put on every Moto phone.

Obviously it's all personal preference, and I have always hated both Motorola AND samsung for many reasons. Motorolas hardware is always tacky, and every person I've known with a sumsung device has problems with it (in particular, the Intrepid on WinMo -while my htc WinMo was killer-, and the moment 3diff people).

All that said, build quality and design are very important to me (and unlocked bootloader, of course), and the Photon is one of ugliest Motos to date (which is hard to do), while the Samsung is so gorgeous, I'm tempted myself. I've played with both. I would definitely go sammy.

good luck

[EVO 4G General] Custodian:
Until you've owned the mopho don't throw it under the bus because of your previous phones.onward. My friend if you want consistant software updates, kickass reception, a kickstand, a built in hdmi port. Run with the photon. If you want a phone with less reception, terrible software updates with a nice beautiful large screen. Then by all means go with the sgsII because thats all it has over the photon 4g. And not to mention the upcomming updates for the photons screen and other criticals. An already flawless phone will become greater! The future for moto's look even brighter now that the giant google owns it. I can taste icecream already! Mhmm
