[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rustybob:
This is a problem in all Windows Phone 7 ROMs. It is suspected to be a limitation of the hardware. Through some ingenuity by the developers they were mostly able to work around this problem in Android. Since Windows Phone is closed-source, there may never be a workaround.

Multitouch will work if you put both of your fingers on the screen at the same time, so pinch-to-zoom usually works quite well. Putting two or more fingers on the screen at different times will usually result in erratic behaviour.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] carlos_d11:
thanks for replying!

needed to know since I'm something new WP7 !

since in android had no such problems.

I thought it was some mistakes of mine
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gmic1000:
The 2 fingered multitouch does work on WP7 only if pressed simultaneously. (pinch to zoom)

But for ie multitouch games it a pain in the ass...

Multi (2+) fingered multitiouch doensn't work on the HD2 at all, but that is a hardware issue. (there is a thread here on xda-devs, where one says that it's possible though).

The 2 fingered multitouch works very well in android.

But the problem in WP7 can be fixed by an updated driver.

i don't know why no body interested in getting streak to do full mirroring or to make full output possible . it's amazing device with unique design .can any body tell why there is no developer want to do that for the streak. is it impossible ? is it matter of money ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLYLUX:
Hey Guys,

I hope this is not a complete repost

I have a samsung Galaxy s i9000 and i installed a custom gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM yesterday, all worked fine, but was unable to receive phone calls so i tried reflashing my phone to see maybe it was installed incorrectly.

Im not able to get into recovery mode but i am able to get into download mode.

So i installed Odin, and a .pit file that someone recommended. earlier i downloaded a .tar file that was compatible with my phone.

Everything went fine and it said it was successful, but im now stuck on a black screen with nothing but download mode.

My question to you is:

What files do i need to download inorder to get it to boot, and then allow me to flash to a gingerbread version on android.

I have a 512.pit file, i just need all the other odds and ends like a PDA, phone, CSC files.

Please please help me.

Thanks you for your time.

My girlfriend saw this phone and was in love with the stylish red color, therefore I got it as a present for her. I myself am using Xperia Arc and Desire Z :)

Yeah I'm interested in having some rom development on this unit as well, preferrably CM7/MIUI, if not, at least root access :P

Bumping this up, I am a new convert to Alcatel androids with this model and I eagerly await serious development on this model - I think its worth it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenshinta:
I think there's a showstopper here - those root procedures require at least usb debugging to be active. On this phone even though I tick the option on, there is NO notification when plugged in to toggle usb debugging.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waza_Be:
Exactly like some chinese devices and Archos tablets. There is a workaround for that!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenshinta:
Here's where I am now:

* z4root, universal androot all fail - z4root puts the phone into full 100% cpu load, needs a reboot to normalize, androot just fails.

* superoneclikc doesnt works since ...

* usb debugging doesnt really work - I have the toogle turned on under development but no notification is ever shown;

* setup an adb sdk install in a pc, used the OT-980 drivers instead since there is none yet at alcatel website and it was compatible with the OT-990;

* "adb devices" show this:

List of devices attached

1234567890ABCDEF device

which means ... i dunno, fake or spoofed ID since the adb on the phone is disable/ crippled?

* "adb reboot" shut downs the phone, other ad commands show a:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>adb shell ls -l

error: protocol fault (status 64 72 77 78?!)

the status numbers change depending on the command issued.

The above looks like other errors I see on the web that refer to an incorrect adb driver. I dunno.

So, hopefully someon can followup on this. I'm guessing the capability to flash the firmware with adb properly working is a must before moving on to rooting and other stuff.

Pre-requisites:

working adb sdk installation

extracted files from SuperOneClick v.2.1.1

We will start the process with the assumption you are at least able to do a

and get a response of

That means you have a proper adb sdk environment that sees the OT-990.

Here we go!

1. From the extracted files of Superoneclick, get and collect the following files into a single folder for neatness (i.e. "ot990root"):

1.1.update

I've now prepared an update Superuser pack you can use instead of the older versions in the above superoneclick package. The zip contains Superuser.apk version 3.0.4 (Superuser_3.0.4.apk) plus an updated su binary. Use them for the rest of the guide.

Here's a download link: DOWNLOAD superuser-v3.04-update-pack

2. Open a Terminal Window/ Command Prompt inside the folder we made previously;

3. adb push all the files into the /sqlite_stmt_journals or /data/local folder on the phone;

3.a. Fix permissions of the executables;

4. Open an adb shell to prepare for temp rooting;

Take note that /system is already mounted as rw;

4.a begin temp root;

4.b at this point the original adb shell will be killed, you will need to restart adb shell;

4.c the prompt for the adb shell is now for root, to check

or type id

5. now to install the permanent root;

5.1 reboot to verify;

I suggest before doing the above to install from the market Root Checker by joeykrim as your verifier of root before and after the process - just to get empirical evidence of your success ^__^.

Congrats you should have permanent root. Now go destroy those silly apps.

updated 2011-10-3 : added chmod correction for su (as first suggested by henrigolo)

provided superuser.apk (v3.0.4) + su binary updated package

Hey there!

Is there any easier way to root this device? :) Or this manual root is the only method? :( Somebody tried overclock the cpu? Thanks for the replies! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrigolo:
Hi There,

To Kenshinta, very good job however in step 5 you made a mistake in the procedure, it is:

chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

you need to do.

It took me 2 days to figure out since I'm no linux veteran. This is apparent in the first link you give (sources of your procedure) though.

With your proc and this modification, rooting the OT-990 is now easy.:D

also in case of usb driver issues (in my case noway using the OT-980 drivers on XP and WIN7-64), I got it "magically" fixed using the pdanet software that's also a good utility by itself. Install the software and it's driver and voila! adb recognizes the device and so on.

Good work again, this is the only procedure available on the whole inetrnet today for this very good value android terminal.

Thanks for the reply btw. Looking forward for other answers, and of course ideas about how the whole world could update to ginger without waiting for the operators and Alcatel to release the updates.

Maybe if anyone cold hack the bootloaders for both the old and the new one, and we could upgrade the bootloader with the changes Alcatel made for the upgrade manually that could help some....
