[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
I'm sorry but have to disagree with you there.:) Saying what you are going to do and actually doing it are two very different things. I can say I'm going to give you a thousand dollars but until I actually give it to you, what I say means nothing. When we have an HTC unlocked bootloader on our phones, then we can say HTC kept their part of the deal. Until then it's just lip service. Even if they do 'keep their end of the deal', there's still plenty of room for corporate shenanigans. Don't get me wrong, I think they ARE working on something. However, as has been mentioned by several members of our own dev community, there are easier, faster and more direct ways to get this project done and HTC has deliberately avoided these methods. I am worried that the something that HTC is working on will not be quite what we want and expect. Sure they may give us the koolaid but we might not like the flavor.

I think that what facebook poster Jerome is alluding to is correct. It can't possibly take that long (September) to just unlock the bootloader. S-OFF bootloaders already exist and have been around since the beginning. We know that they work. This is not a new tech that HTC needs to develop. I think the wait has more to do with corporate politics, legal wrangling and bureaucracy along with a healthy dose of ifs, ands, and buts than any technical or distribution issue. I also suspect that when we do finally see these unlocked bootloaders, we will have to hold our noses to install them as they will likely come with some inpalatable strings attached that we will be forced to agree to in order to use them.

That's why I really hope the dev community here can get it done before HTC finishes their 'pageantry'. I know the XDA community will give it to us straight-no additives or preservatives.:D Even if they can't, I still appreciate their efforts as I know they will have tried their best. Finding a way around HTC's new security is a very tall order! But if they do manage to pull it off, the glory and satisfaction of winning they would snatch from HTC would be marvelous!

Hi,

I have read that Samsung nexus s i9023 has only 1GB rom(less compared to galaxy s),and we cannot install more apps as memory limited to 1gb,installing will slow down phone's performance,please let me know.

Also if we install apps on memory card,as i heard that they will be sluggish in playing those apps/games.
[myTouch 4G General] madwolf27:
My kid has my old mytouch 4G. He's a bit rough on phones. The power button started getting hard to activate and then quit. Me, being the wonderful procrastinator I am, hadn't sent it back to tmobile yet. He was locking it with a widget and waking it with the trackpad. (If the battery died we discovered you could wake it by pulling and reinserting the battery while plugged in).

Yesterday, he ran out of gas and started walking to a gas station when he got caught in a downpour. Yeah, his phone got soaked.

Good news, a warm bowl of dry rice overnight saved it. Worked flawlessly (save for the pre-damaged power button of course) .

Bad news, now his water damage stickers are pink.

Somewhat worse news, it/they? were peeling up and he pulled em off.

Absolute worst news, he got some type of firmware update, pulled the battery to replace his sim from a spare junk phone he was using, and now it will not restart with the plugged in battery pull trick.

Soooo, while the phone became 100% operational from the water, we have to send it back for the button. With pink indicators, it'll cost me $130. I don't have the money. I DO have $5 to buy new stickers from ebay. I just need to know exactly where they go.

Would some kind person post some pics of the inside w/o the battery?? All my google searches have failed. My google-fu is weak. :(

OR, alternatively, is there another way to reboot the phone??
[myTouch 4G General] teqvexed:
if you're already opening the phone up to replace the pink stickers, why dont you just fix the power button?

edit: i should point out that there are more often than not water indicators inside the phone itself (ie requires disassembly) so replacing the outside stickers may score you a new battery (there's one by the contacts) if they open the phone up you're caught.
[myTouch 4G General] madwolf27:
There's popping the battery cover off and then there's OPENING up the phone. I used to think they put stickers inside too, but I have thoroughly disassembled 2 (A Behold 2 and a mytouch slide-- both trashed by my kids w/o insurance) and found none elsewhere in the phone.
[myTouch 4G General] mervant:
here ya go, your best bet is just buying them off ebay

looks like kalel33 is right, I added another pic so you dont have to look. only thing is if you open it watch out for that void marker on the screw
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
I can also tell you about at least 5 customers I had talked with who sent in the phone with the LDI inside the battery compartment being fine and they were hit with out of warranty fees because the LDI stickers on the inside were shown liquid damage. So yes, some phones do have the stickers inside too.

In this video I see at least one LDI sticker on the motherboard.

[myTouch 4G General] dung8604:
Not to be a jerk, but I believe there is a rule about asking for help in tricking the phone companies like this on XDA. Don't think it's enough for a ban or anything serious, but just a heads up, this thread may be closed soon.
[myTouch 4G General] madwolf27:
Thanks. It's still worth a shot, the fee tmobile charges is actually less than the deductible asurion does. And they will bill it, I can pay it then, at the moment we raped our bank account for a down payment on a vehicle.
[myTouch 4G General] madwolf27:
Actually, I don't believe there is. In ANY case, the damage is legitimate and not caused by the subsequent water issue. I can't prove that, so I am looking for an alternative. So I would only be "tricking" them to get what should be done, done.
[myTouch 4G General] madwolf27:
Hrrrmmm, after viewing the video I may just attempt to repair the button....

*edit* Ordered a tool set off of ebay instead of stickers. Wish me luck!! And Thank you all!
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Try using the pd15img.zip for 2.2.1. If you can get into hboot and flash that RUU you're probably back in action.
[myTouch 4G General] madwolf27:
The update completed successfully, he pulled the battery after the update. The phone will not power on because the button is broken. I can't get into anything cause w/o that button, its like a brick :) Before the update if you pulled and replaced the battery while the phone was plugged into the wall, it would usually power up. sometimes you had to do it a couple of times. I've done it 100 times now if not more w/o success. Computer doesn't see it when usb plugged either. Win 7.

So is there any way that any of the devs can make the Skype app with video calling work on the latest rooted OTA? I'm still steering clear of GB out of bricking fear.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jschecter:
There is no more bricking fear w/ GB. It's stable and very nice. If you really need skype, then it's something worth trying out.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] razor2006:
I don't necessarily need it per se, but I've been wanting to try out a non-fail video calling app. Trying to call some friends with VZW iPhone 4's and Tango sucks. It's great on my end, but all they hear is static and it's very difficult for them to hear me on their end. Thinking I might try out Fring and possibly Qik, and hope for better success. I'm just kind of assuming that Skype will be the best of all.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Akoolive:
There is a working Skype with video apk lurking around forums...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] razor2006:
Not for Froyo, it's GB only. Doesn't matter anymore though, I'm running Gingeritis 1.2 now. Based on the new GB base leak. Super fast and hella stable!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Mustang302LX:
Thats actually false. Skype Mobile 1.0.1.1025 was hacked and worked perfectly on FroYo. I wouldn't leave FroYo actually for a while because it was only working on FroYo. The new 2.0.0.45 hacked version on the other hand needs GB so I'm on CM7!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] razor2006:
Did that version support video calls? If so, I stand corrected, however after much digging around I was unable to locate that. Either way, I dislike two things about Skype. #1, it only makes video calls in landscape mode. #2, I either have to get a heads up text to tell me to log into Skype so I can receive a video call, or stay signed into it all the time and have that annoying icon in the notification bar, which I'm not willing to do, heh.

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to make Activesync configuration a little easier for people using Android handsets. In my organisation, there are 2 aspects I need to configure.

Firstly, we use a custom APN. Secondly, a lot of people run into trouble typing in details manually. Ideally, I would like to create an APK file that I can place on a website, SMS the URL to the end user, and they install the file, which configures everything except their username and LAN Password.

Is this possible, or am I dreaming? I have accomplished the same for iPhone and Windows Mobile, so I'd like to add Android to the list of options.

Cheers,

Jason

[Galaxy S I9000 General] itskapil:
You don't have to flash the zimage file. Instead flash the .tar file which you get after you extract the downloaded .zip file. When extracting, don't select extract here instead select extract to folder -- the latter would get you .tar file while the former gets you not-for-flashing zimage file.

Hi, I'm new here! Just happen recently owing an Android MID/ Tablet and try to learn something from this site. Below is my device detail:

Brand : IROBOT

Model: EM73

CPU:Telechips 8803 Cortex-A8 1GHZ

Android Version: 2.3.3

Kernel version : 2.6.35.7

Built number: EM73_AK_GC2M_V1 20110516

And able to set up the 3G with Huawei Dongle E1750 and work fine. And now I'm trying to learn how to root this device so that I can set superuser. I have tried using Z4root and set it either temporary or permanent root but failed, by checking with the terminal emulator command as below:

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ su

su: uid 10058 not allowed to su

$

Any other methods or way to root this device are most welcome.

Please help to shade some light, helps will be very much appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] huatchai:
Hi doortodoorsalesman, I have copied the dump-recovery-signed.zip and renamed it to update.zip in the root of my micro SD card, and going to do dump stock recovery, and follow with install ClockworkMod Recovery 4 procedure:o:o:o. But just before i go ahead with these, how to make backup(dump) stock recovery and where to download recovery.zip (file name?):confused::confused: Your help will be very much appreciated.:D:D:D

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] doortodoorsalesman:
I did the same but found that the dump recovery did not work. All that dose is backup the original backup program. Clockworkmod is far better than the stock program, once you have clockworkmod on your tablet u can do a back up. That will backup everything. Make sure you do a backup as soon as you can and always do a backup before you try messing around with system stuff.

I made the mistake of forgetting to backup before I started messing with it.

Cockworkmod installed fine on mine. To do a backup after, turn off the tablet hold down the back button and hold down the power button when you see the green man keep the back button held down. Clockworkmod will start , select back up and do a full backup.

There should be instructions inthe thread on how to navigate clockworkmod.

Let me know when you have done a backup.
[General Questions and Answers] doortodoorsalesman:
After you have got clockworkmod you can root it using the super user file like parastie did. I took me a while to find the right version let me know if you need a copy.
[General Questions and Answers] huatchai:
In the sentence that you replied, need to do the back up before install clockworkmode recovery 4, but how to do the back up in our device, is it just go to setting-privacy-backup my data or other methods?:confused::confused::confused: And also where to find the correct clockworkmode for my device?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Is it the software under Telechips custom firmwares - //github.com/naobsd/cm_device_telechips_tcc8803? Sorry for being noob.:p:p:p And seeking for your expertise and advice. Thanks in advance.:D:D:D

p/s: I have done the dump stock recovery, but can't find the file as what Parasite stated :Files will be copied as /sdcard/dumped_recovery.img and /proc/mtd will be copied as /sdcard/dumped_proc_mtd.txt. Look like nothing is happen...
[General Questions and Answers] doortodoorsalesman:
Dump stock recovery dosen't work on our tables. You need to do a backup after you install clockworkmod.

Just follow the idiots guide to install clockworkmod. Then do a backup in clockworkmod.

Then follow the instructions to install super user, if u can't find the link to get the right superuser file let me know as I have a copy.
[General Questions and Answers] huatchai:
By the way, how to get the correct clockworkmode for my device?:confused::confused: And base on what to determine the correct clockworkmode? Is it on the CPU? Kernel version? Built number? Model?:rolleyes: I'm keen to learn all these, please help me.... help will be very much appreciated.:D:D:D
[General Questions and Answers] huatchai:
Hi, I have found one of the clockworkmode from the telechips custom firmware from Androtap.info as Emdoor EM73 resistive ClockworkMod Recovery 4:eek::eek::eek:. I'm not too sure whether this firmware is suitable for my tablet, please help to advice me. Thanks in advance:D:D:D

I have searched, but I can't find the correct information and I need to know who to ***** at to get some work done on this. Who is responsible for the drivers not being released for the Gingerbread platform?! Is it Viewsonic or is it nVidia?

Yes, I read the thread about the nVidia saying we won't support the "Harmony" series board past Froyo 2.2, but then SUDDENLY changing gears to a maybe.

After that, not a single update on the thread since May. So someone clarify for me here...who do I need to lodge a complaint with to get my drivers for GB? HC is a stretch and Viewsonic will have to pay (?) Google so they can get into that sweetness of Honeycomb officially.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
Well, nvidia does not support "open (non-vendor) development" for the harmony platform... they will support the platform only if the manufacturers request drivers built for their hardware... i.e., if ViewSonic requests nvidia for Gingerbread or Honeycomb drivers for the GTablet, nvidia will do so...

Hey guys,

My gTab is only about 2months old and it's already behaving like old equipment. the boot time is more than a minute. Many applications take a good ten seconds to load. The new Google+ FCs each time I tap the message or places button. The Dolphin browser takes forever to load.

[G Tablet General] schettj:

[G Tablet General] Dishe:
As I mentioned before, I think going back to Froyo is the only way to get good performance. I just tried the Brilliant Corners Froyo-based rom. Since Vegantab 5.1.1 is pretty much done with (no one is supporting it or issuing updates), this seems the best option if I wanted something more mainstream with proper driver support.

I'll be honest, there's stuff I miss from CM7 (particularly the Gingerbread Bluetooth stack and flawless netflix), but as a whole the device seems much snappier.

It was a bit of a headache changing bootloaders to 1.2, but it looks like a lot of more interesting developments are happening on that side of the loaders now anyway.
[G Tablet General] ashwinmudigonda:
Can you point me in the direction to get this new ROM? I'm not interested in BlueTooth or Netflix on the device.
[G Tablet General] mike_ekim:
Some 'construction-type' or resource gathering games are persistent after you exit them (Bug Village, Paradise Islang, Gangsta) so the game can can give you an update while you aren't playing. I've found that killing those apps really helps performance and doesn't affect game play when you launch again. I've also seen an increase after killing some weather apps, but others don't seem to affect performance at all.

Like to check if anyone experience not able to update the new minor patch for 3.1. to 4.010.30. Background, I have recover my stock to 1.139.05_COM_GEN1 using step provided in XDA. After which I was able to update to 4.010.22. Today I receive an pop-up highlighting that there is an update to 4.010.30. I downloaded and try to update.

But it fail, at first I thought it is due to my 3.1 being Rooted. so I unrooted it. Same problem update fail. After that, I rooted 3.1 and use CWM to update the patch. It updated without any problem.

can anyone highlight experience the same problem? If yes, can we say that even we able to recover to stock ROM. We will still experience that same problem of not able to update for minor patch via the normal auto update?

update: Unroot and restart before install new update. By the way I got 4.010.38 today
