I fully agree with the OP. These Google+ topics have nothing to do with the Samsung S2. Getting annoyed by scrolling through the topic list in my PREMIUM app because of these topics. Make one central topic in the XDA area for off topic and close the
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Surely the google+ threads are more important than this useless thread. Report the threads and mods will take care of them if they consider them inappropriate. Starting up a new useless thread ain't much help ;)
[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
We make an effort to condense them down to one main thread in off topic.

That said, we can't be everywhere at once, send the relevant forum moderator a PM and they will deal with the situation accordingly.

Theres also the case that people may be wishing to create a specific circle for owners of a certain device, this would be difficult if every thread was merged.

Not that I believe that's what's happening in the offending threads, but that's a very good point.

I don't care anyway. I've not been able to get in, despite numerous invites, so it

[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
Well its definitely not the case in most of them, however I have left a couple in sections I moderate due to the fact that they were started with that intention.

Should they turn into an endless invite whoring add4add fest then they will close.

Im assuming you've tried all the usual workarounds?
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
The only "tricks" I know of are by trying to get invited by someone posting something to you, and there's a script in the off-topic forum that retries your invitation URL every 5 seconds. I left that going for over 24hrs and it didn't get in.

I've pretty much given up now. I'll definitely be all over it when I do get in, but I'm not putting my life on hold and waiting for it.
[Galaxy S II General] StoneCracker:
Pm me and i can help..

I think some of the issues are that G+ comes up while talking on the forum. Then other are desperate to get an invite. I am guilty of posting in a few of them. But your right. Unless the thread is to create a circle it should be in off topic.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] grymcent:
HI All

I dropped my phone earlier today, but it did turn on, but really slowly and when it turned the screen off it stayed off unless I reset it.

So I thought to reset it. forgetting that the RHODIMG was on the SD card. and fogeting the hard reset variation, so I let the image (cookie energy) run. it completed perfectly fine. but then after a reboot it just sat on the vodaphone splash screen.

So I ran the image again and this time it got upto the starting windows for first time, but for some reason it turned off. and since then it just turns itself on runs boot loader and turns off.

It only does this when plugged in. I can't stop it turning on if the power is plugged in. and I can't turn it on if the power is not plugged in.

Included are a photo of the Bootloader screen from a previous update last year(working) and then a short avi and jpg of the current bootloader.

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] qwerty478:
It looks like the bootloader isn't seeing the ROM anymore, try flashing another rom. If your SD Card isn't empty try formatting it (Backup your files) and try flashing it with only the RHODIMG on it. Good Luck:)

If you bought your EVO 3D at Radio Shack on launch day (06/24), You have until tomorrow to return it.

In case you did not know Radio Shack has a 14 day return policy(scroll to the bottom) on cell phones and or contracts.

Sprints 30 return policy does not apply here
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That sucks. Guess I'll be doing that then....

Edit: horse poop, picture related...its from my 4 mile long radio shack receipt
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
*waits for nate420's head to explode*
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Each store must have their own policy...I even remember explicitly asking if there was a 30 day policy, and they said yes...and the chicks that work there are buddys of mine. I can even return up to 30 days after the original sale to trade in my evo for $158.... my paperwork all states 30 days, new service or upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
Thanks for looking that up. I'm at work and I obviously do not have my reciept with me. The internet has failed me :(
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
No problem, but, to be safe I would still investigate your own receipt. It might be a regional thing or perhaps on a store-by-store basis...and that websites verbiage seems like pretty srs bsns. But I trust the gals at my local Radioshack a little more than a sternly worded website.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vindic8ed:
I too was told 30 days when I purchased it. I have the reciept somewhere, but I'm not going out of my way to find it since I have no intention if taking it back anyway. Yes, I'd like to be able to root, but even unrooted this phone is alot better than the 4G, IMO.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
The shack told me 30 days also
[HTC EVO 3D] sarin5711:
I'm a manager at radio shack and its 30 days. You are all safe

i need a mediascanner add-on or something, which watches my \music folder. if something is added or removed, it should update the database.

can someone code it for me? =(
[General Questions and Answers] BobbyRayburn:
I'm not sure about this but I believe TapRoot Systems, the makers of WalkingHotSpot, has folded up the tents. I no longer have access to the service on my AT&T Tilt. It suddenly just stopped working this past Thursday. When I try to visit their site, I never gain access. I placed a call to TapRoot and the number reports as being disconnected.

Does anyone else have any insight on this?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] NormBo:
Walkinghotspot problems

I have had same experience. Walkinghotspot website is not in existance but found Taproot and planned to call tomorrow. You beat me to it! This disappoints me. I thought it was a verizon thing. I wonder if this product just blew up or if Verizon AT&T etc just figured it out and stopped it somehow? Wonder what other product works? I used to have PDAnet but that was a few phones back. ANY INSIGHTS?
[General Questions and Answers] BobbyRayburn:
NormBo,

I don't know. I did call today and, as I mentioned, the number is disconnected. I sent an email to TapRoot and no response. I don't think it has anything to do with AT&T or Verizon at all. I think something maybe going down with TapRoot itself.

I'm a newbie here so I can't post links yet. That said, if you go to wmwifirouter dot com or just google, wmwifirouter, you'll find one alternative that I ran into today. Just unfortunate because it's another license fee to pay when WalkingHotSpot was supposed to be "lifetime."
[General Questions and Answers] NormBo:
This is a great website with a lot of people much smarter than me. Hopefully we will get some suggestions as to the best alternative or perhaps a fix. I am sure there were a lot of people who got sucked into that lifetime subscription. We just didn't know it was THEIR lifetime! Hopefully someone will notice our post and respond.
[General Questions and Answers] BobbyRayburn:
Yep. I tweeted the post as well. Perhaps someone will have an answer. However, I have found it a bit curious that no Google entries OR XDA entries have posted on this issue. I'm thinking the problem may be an issue of low demand for the software.

At any rate, I'm going to give the wmwifirouter trial a shot. Then I'll decide if I want to pay for another license fee.
[General Questions and Answers] NormBo:
Let me know what you think of it!! GOOD LUCK!!
[General Questions and Answers] BobbyRayburn:
update - found an alternative to WHS

-----Update

There is a very decent alternative to WalkingHotSpot if you've experienced the "blackout" mentioned above. The name of the software is WMWifiRouter. It's actually a bit more robust, in terms of features. They offer a 21 day trial. I started mine today and I'm pleased with it thus far. Hope this helps other WHS users.
[General Questions and Answers] Rapidjack:
WHS did this before

Happened to me about a year ago. Website came back up after a week, and all was well. Phone #'s for TapRoot were disconnected back then too. I had used WMWIFIROUTER trial period to get me thru. I don't know how long to wait before I purchase it. Anyone with insight, please share.
[General Questions and Answers] BobbyRayburn:
Thanks for this. Guess I'll wait to see if WHS comes back up before I sign up with WMWifiRouter.
[General Questions and Answers] sumner57:
I believe they are really gone.

I checked retail site (Handango.com) where I origianally bought my walkinghotspot copy and they no longer even have a reference to it and it is unavailable for purchase.
[General Questions and Answers] BobbyRayburn:
Yep. I think all signs point to them being defunct. Oh well. At least there are alternatives out there.
[General Questions and Answers] janegraves:
dissappointed with walkinghotspot

I have used it for quite a while, also. This is what I hate about purchasing licenses. They can give up and you have no recourse. I, too, am using wmwifirouter in the trial period and will be needing to purchase their license soon. It seems like a good program and hope it is not dependent on some proxy server that can have the plug pulled at anytime.:mad:
[General Questions and Answers] The13thSin:
WMWifiRouter still works if the server goes down. Unlike WalkingHotSpot that uses a "phone home, no answer, stop app" system, WMWifiRouter uses a "phone home, no answer, still work" system.
[General Questions and Answers] TadPole415:
phone home, if no answer, stop app

Not sure why there seems to be a delay in loss of functionality, but loading an old backup gives a short period--a session, perhaps two--before it agains displays:

W002: Unable to connect,

please check network

settings.

So WHS functionality apparently...eventually...requires some sort of hand-shake/confirmation; however, using the trial of WMWifiRouter has (but not always...) "jump started" WHS...for a short time...?? I don't get it but, guessing, whatever registry settings (?) WMWifiRouter makes during set-up/load would seem to be changing whatever WHS intentionally hamstrings...after [delayed/?] attempted (but unsuccessful) hand-shake/confirmation.

[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
I am downloading the gingerbreak 2.3.4 EP1F leak right now from P3droid.... It doesn't contain Imnut's recovery so no "infringement" (not my words) is occuring...

Because I already have permission to pack his kernels and recoveries in my ODIN packages I should be able to package his recovery with this new gingerbread leak. I will of course ask Imnuts one more time for permission just to be safe.

I am trying to make this easy for everyone so the community doesn't suffer. Thanks

** Because P3droid is currently charging 2 dollars for his app to get this, I will wait until I get permission **

**UPDATE** I got permission from imnuts to use his recovery... That's great!!!

**UPDATE** SEE DEV FORUM NOW... ITS RELEASED
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Give it!! Lol. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ShotgunSam:
OMG P3 runs Imnuts into the ground and then releases 2.3.4 so he looks like the bigger person when all he had to do to begin with was say "I understand, we will just release it without CWM"

what a crock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ieAnd:
I'm glad to hear that, and looking forward to it! I'm a Droid Xer myself with a Nook Color, so P3Droid is kind of my hero by nature. It's really a shame he and Imnuts are in a disagreement, I like them both very much. I'm just attempting to get my sister's brand new Charge stable and fast!

Looking forward to it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] charliebronson:
I can confirm that it does not contain CWM, the reboot recovery command took me to the stock recovery, haven't flashed it yet, going through app restores first.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
While you are waiting for gingerbread try my Humble 1.25 rom... its extremely stable and great on battery life
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
ETA? Because I'll flash Humble if its greater than 1 day for 2.3.4
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
ETA will be tonight at 9pm central time for the new leak... I will try to get permission to package and have that up too. Look in the dev section
[Verizon Droid Charge] ieAnd:
Alright man, thanks! I'll give it a try!
[Verizon Droid Charge] anaphora68:
Thank you for rising above. My Charge arrives tomorrow and I cannot wait to get my hands on it and put 2.3.4 on it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Sorry but i have to say from a low level dev point of view, charging for leaks is crap. That being said. If you release a custom leak, just release it. Android is open source and charging because you got the leak before somebody else is garbage. As far as the big time devs on the charge. I support the work they do and know the time it takes to put into building a rom. I've killed a Sony Vaio FX11 compiling a 2.3.4 rom and it is a long tedious task. . Wait for one of the devs to put it out and then get it. Don't jump on the newest thing because there's bugs to be worked out.

NOTED: This is my opinion. And hopefully is just taken as such.
[Verizon Droid Charge] porlo:
can't wait to see this leak get on to rom devs like kejar's hands!

Sent from my Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
I am with you 100%. If I post his leak here he will report me to a moderator like he did to synack when he release EG2... If I don't hear from p3droid in a timely manner I will release. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] apascual89:
Point taken, but I think I have a flashing addiction problem! Since I already have the TBH application, I went ahead and flashed it without CWM recovery to check it out. I will probably revert back to stock tonight since I need a stable phone for work in the morning.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Amen to that man. He had his people come screw up my thread and have a moderator lock the thread. It was crap.

hey guys... im thinking of buying he evo 3d in the uk when its out soon.

just a few quick questions that id like answering please :)

how does the evo 3d turn the 3d screen from 2d to 3d? lol

whats battery life like :)

and if the build quality good?

thanks guys :)
[HTC EVO 3D] xBryan:
Switch on the side only camera.

Battery life is very good for me atleast.

The phone feels good in my hand feels well built imo
[HTC EVO 3D] :
The 3D is controllable for only the camera. You can adjust it by using the switch. As for the other questions. Your answers will be subjective. I myself experience great battery life, but others don't. I like the look and feel of the phone, but others don't.
[HTC EVO 3D] leehopley:
how do you turn the 3d off on the screen? :)

thanks for he reply, how many hours do you get out of battery :)
[HTC EVO 3D] leehopley:
ah okay :) so im guessing sense reckonises when a 3d photo or video or app is running and automatically turns 3d on :)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
The only things that will display in 3D is movies, games and photos (that are 3D). You can turn 3D photos into 2D by using the settings. The rest is 2D. I can get around 16-20 hours with normal usage, but that is also subjective. What is normal for me may not be normal for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] leehopley:
Ah well thanks for your help :) one last question, how much free ram do you normally have free?

Just updated to 3.1 (only had to put my old wpa_suplicant file back, didnt have to unroot), tried the adhoc enabled wpa_suplicant from 3.0 but wifi wouldnt turn on. has anyone got adhoc working yet with 3.1?

Thanks

tankstrr
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
I haven't tried it yet, but did you make sure to set execute permissions on the replacement file?
[Acer Iconia A500] tankstrr:
i used the exact same file i used in 3.0 (i never deleted either file during update, just renamed files to wpa_suplicantold and wpa_suplicantnew as needed). I check and did see the permissions were different between the 3.1 file and the old adhoc file, so i set the adhoc version to the same permissions (rwxr-xr-x) and bingo!!!

thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
Im having the same problem & figured that was the cause, except I cannot find my old WPA-supplicant file, cant install 3.1, can someone please supply me with a copy of the old WPA-supplicant file! many thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] tankstrr:
here is my old wpa file
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
Just tried it and it worked for me too. Just looking at file sizes, it seems the wpa_supplicant file did not change in 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
placed in the copy of the original WPA-supplicant file, took out the current modified one, tried to install without success... that WPA file you uploaded doesnt have a file size, displaying 0 KB, while the old one had 289.03 KB, problem with the original WPA_supplicant file?
[Acer Iconia A500] tankstrr:
my bad, used a bad thumbdrive to transfer, retrasfered via direct usb, updated original post.
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
now my Wi-Fi states ERROR when installing that copy of WPA_Supplicant file. put in old (ad hoc friendly) file & still getting an ERROR. thinking I should have turned off wifi. any fix to this?

FIX:

had to select the WPA_Supplicant file, hit permissions, check/tick all the boxes in the first two columns and the first 2 in the last column.

Got it working! woohoo!

now to see if 3.1 will install...
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
3.1 Failed to install... WTF!

that was the only change I made to my tab.

could it be because its not my tab's original WPA_supplicant file?

anyway to bypass this to get 3.1 installed?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropyiv:
I had to restore my supplicant file to get the update to take.

Solution posted by Bob here:

w w w.androidtablets.net/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a500-forum/18444-update-failed-help.html

Here's the WPA_Supplicant from my A500, after the 3.1 update. Hope this works for you guys.

I'm not sure what the extension is for the A500, but I had to add .zip to be able to upload it. Try removing the .zip before using it. Also, remove the 'original'. I added that to keep it straight on my tablet.

Good Luck.

I am having the very same problem...

I got my SGS2 a couple of days ago.

Yesterday I've installed the new gingerbread 2.3.4 version

and as it wasn't working fine, I decided to re-install the previous version.

Odin starts uploading the new firmware, but it totally freezes

at the beginning or/and at the end...

As a result my mobile is completely dead for 2 days now,

and no matter what I try, nothing can fix the problem.

I really appreciate if you guys could give me any help on this issue.

If you have NIS installed then Odin might freeze. Disabling it helps. Maybe there are other ways too, but I don't know.
