[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ryanpl:
So I installed the Touchnooter package last night and am finding it pretty cool. Some problems with the B&N shoping but I normally shop on my laptop and then sync with Nook. I added the weather widgit onto the Go Launcher and can't figure how to remove it from the home screen. Can someone tell me how to remove it because I'd much rather DL the weatherbug app. Thanks in advance. Ryan

[Edit] Doh!!! I figured it out. Please ignore request
[Thunderbolt General] GermanGuy:
Anybody know what type of touch-up paint to use for the metal housing on the Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] chucks1967:
Unfortunately its not metal, its plastic, and it breaks very easy..... Not much help on the post sorry... I just needed to vent... 2 day old Tbolt fell from lap to floor and broke the corner... If it had been metal it would have just brushed it off like it was nothing. poopoohead plastic...
[Thunderbolt General] ad0131065:
Yeah I can second that its not metal. I have paint chipping at the top corner and above the kickstand. I would strip the whole thing if I could....
[Thunderbolt General] GermanGuy:
Bummer. Could still try some touch-up paint though. I am kind of anal retentive about my phones.
[Thunderbolt General] ad0131065:
Prob the best match you'll find is a car touch up pen from autozone etc....
[Thunderbolt General] TDubKong:
never mind
[Thunderbolt General] shadewolf:
Yeah, some if the finish is also chipping off of my kickstand. It's pretty annoying, but considering that I pocket carry it with no case I can't really complain :eek:

[Acer Iconia A500] matildaleon:
Hello all.

I have an issue that I can't find on the forums...I'm totally confused.

My brand new (3 day old from Target) Iconia Tab 500 keeps saying there is a system update ready. A dialog box pops up saying it's ready & do I want to download now or wait.

If I click "now" it looks like it's downloading. There is a little status bar on the bottom right of the screen that says it's downloading & the yellow bar moves along at a decent pace.

I think it finishes downloading....because that status bar disappears.

Then nothing happens. I expected a "run update" type of window to appear, but it never does.

So if I click through to the "about" area & click "check for system updates"....and for about 1/2 of a second I see the spinning wheel icon that looks like it's contacting the Acer servers to check for any updates...but that disappears & it says "no updates currently available".

So I go on about my business.

Then seemingly at some random interval I get another "system update ready - do you want to download now or later". Of course if I click "now" the same thing happens....nothing.

I thought maybe i had downloaded it & now i have to install manually, but I can't see any file named "update" anywhere...particularly not in the "downloads" folder.

This has happened maybe 5 or 6 times over the past 3 days.

I'm totally confused. Can somebody help me please?

In the About Info it says:

Android: 3.01

Kernal Version: 2.6.36.3-00001-G9B3CE2B

Build: Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1

FYI - I have not rooted this because #1 I have never done that before & am hesitant to screw it up & #2 I have 87 days left on my 90 day Target return policy & I don't want to do anything that's gonna screw that up in case I decide this tablet isn't really for me.

Thanks all !!

[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
Same thing for me

I'm also having the same problem.

I've tried downloading the OTA update. The progress bar fills all the way up, gets to the end... then nothing. No button for "install now".

I've tried downloading 4 times, both with and without the sd card installed. I've even let it sit in this state for 15-20 minutes. It just hangs...and hangs....and hangs.

Android Version: 3.0.1

Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3

Build #: Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1

Also, unrooted.
[Acer Iconia A500] matildaleon:
more info

Hmmmm - ok...additional info for me. I

do NOT

have any SD card inserted. I just decided to not buy one with the unit because I thought i had a few extra at home, but I didn't - & I haven't been back to the store to get one yet.

I wonder if that makes a difference for my situation?

I will get a card & try again asap & post a reply.

Thanks,

GMP
[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
I can't imagine having an SD card installed would be a requirement for the update. The card is a piece of optional equipment.

The only reason I tried with and without was that I saw some people were having some install issues that were solve by removing the card. But I think this was more an issue with rooted devices.

Trying anything at this point.
[Acer Iconia A500] matildaleon:
thanks

Makes sense.

Hopefully somebody will help us.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
I've got a few days left of "returnability" on this tablet. If I can't get this solved in a reasonable amount of time...buh-bye. May ditch in favor of the Toshiba.
[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
Working! (i think)

I think I've got it working. I reset my device first (paperclip, pinhole...reboot).

Re-downloaded the update. Hurray - got a "install now" message. It's unzipping and installing right now.

Stand by for an update....
[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
Success!!!

That worked. So, try resetting your tab with a paperclip.

Android Version: 3.1

Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3

[Acer Iconia A500] matildaleon:
yay / boo

Yay for you!!

Boo for me....please don't tell me I have to factory reset just to do an update?

There must be another way??
[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
I didn't do a factory reset. It's just a "regular" reset. Not sure what the difference is between with sort of reset and simply running a power-cycle (except that the reset worked and power cycling didn't).

When I paper-clipped my Iconia (from power on), it simply shut down. When it booted back up, it was stil my machine with all my data and software.
[Acer Iconia A500] matildaleon:
ok - thanks!

Oh...ok - that makes sense - I'll try that.

Thanks!

GMP
[Acer Iconia A500] matildaleon:
it worked for me too

Ok - I tried it last night & it worked for me too!

Thanks for the help!

GMP!
[Acer Iconia A500] sparky999:
Cool. In retrospect, I think there may have been something waiting in the install queue that I couldn't see. The reset may have cleared it out.

Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
in fatc what might have happend to you is that the paperclip thing looked if there is an update.zip in the cache, and if it finds one, it does the update.

you can also check in doing volume- power.

if you don't have cwm or any kernel installed.

I believe alot of people would like to see this happen as well.

Here's the original thread.

[Defy General] minomarimat:
Yep, I did a foolish thing (got too excited with the Froyo update), I did the update via MSU, but I did not even do a full background check on the pros and cons of this particular update (I have the latest). After experiencing very minimal problems with this update, I realized that I could have been better off with the stock eclair. After reading some threads here, I found that you could go back, provided that you did other update methods (nandroid, sbf, I don't really understand much.. I'm a noob! What can you expect?? LOL)...

so is there a chance that I could go back to the stock eclair? I'm from the Philippines.

Thanks!
[Defy General] rachit2588:
yeah you can go on eclair. by nandroid+fixed sbf method..

Prerequisites downloads

nandroid folder and fixed sbf of your eclair rom

rsd lite 4.9

motorola drivers (or install motorola phone tools v5)

first root your froyo rom via super one click

install 2nd init (follow all the instr. on FAQ on CM7)

keep nandroid file (if available of your eclair in /clockworkmod/backup on your sd card.)

boot into 2nd init and then recovery>custom recovery.

wipe all data and cache..even go in advanced and wip davlik cache.

now restore the nandroid form back up and restore options.

after that reboot ...keep holding vol up key to get the bootloader mode...

attach via usb and run rsd lite 4.9 ( install all the req. motorola drivers first.)

and then flash the fixed sbf of the same (what you nandroided) eclair rom.
[Defy General] SeaFargo:
A detailed guide on it ...

I've make a detailed guide on it ...

You do not like to search ah .... don't you? :(

The XDA thread is here ;)
[Defy General] minomarimat:
hi! thanks for the replies guys!

@SeaFargo it's not that I don't want to.. It's just that I don't have much time in my hands these past few days. :) Hey, I've searched your guide, and you have the 3.4.2-177... thing is, my build is the 3.4.3-36-1.7, and I'm from the Philippines (my build is the SEA upgrade).

The Froyo's getting stable in my phone sometimes, but there are a few times when it gets a little hot and becomes slow. I've never experienced that with the Eclair. That's why I'm thinking of downgrading, or at least have a copy of the downgrade files. Oh, and hopefully it doesn't mess up the warranty, my defy's only a month old. :D
[Defy General] minomarimat:
I got your flow, thanks. I'm new to the technicals of these processes, and so I'm still trying to understand fully what is to be done and how it's done.

But, the thing is, I've done upgrade to Froyo without even doing backups. (Yeah, stupid me.) Can I still go back to the stock Eclair?
[Defy General] krd_medico:
Yes you can

You will need to download a nandroid back-up and fixed sbf of eclair. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy#ROMS_.26_Recoveries

Download the one you like and use the method already described in this thread.
[Defy General] minomarimat:
Hmm. Thanks! Another thing, it's required to root the phone? Wouldn't it affect the warranty? I'd like to keep the warranty for one year. Phone's still new.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oruchreis:
I know Desire doesn't support for SDXC. But I think it doesn't support because of the radio firmware. I mean, the cause is related to software not hardware. So, maybe, someone can hack/reprogram the radio firmware to use SDXC cards in Desire. I know that someone made a patch for SDHC support on windows phones that don't support SDHC.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
So I just installed google+ on the phone and tried sharing a specific picture from my phone....

The picture posted ended up being a freaking screen shot of an ESPN bookmark!! WTF?

Has anybody had this problem or is it just a freak accident? I am a lil scared of using it now as there are some crazy ass photos on my phone and I definitely do not want to even accidentally post them.

Maybe I can just put them in a .file but isn't that where they found the ESPN bookmark?

Unrooted... stock...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Delete your /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails folder so that it rebuilds. You should be able to verify this is the problem by opening gallery and noticing that the thumbnail of the image you *wanted* to post opens the image of what was actually sent. After you delete that folder and open gallery things should be corrected. It just sounds like the thumbnails may have gotten mixed up.

If that wasn't the problem, we'll go from there.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
Ah... this may have solved the problem. Should have thought about that first. It's been awhile since i cleared the thumbnails.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
K.... Another issue.

I turned on instant upload to upload all my pics to Picasa.

It ONLY found my fxcamera folder.... I have like 5 folders with pics in them. Anybody know how Google+ instant upload scans the SD card for pics?

EDIT: Solved...

Google+ instant upload looks like it scans in order of folders and uploads the first folder it finds with pics in it... (First time the first folder it found with pics was FXcamera Folder) for most people it would be DCIM. For now I moved all my pics into that folder (DCIM) but I will take them all out once it's done uploading (4G kills it!)

Then from there on it will instant upload anything that goes into DCIM...

just a FYI

I've used Visidon Applock.

In the first few days it worked just brilliantly.

But it's been a while after that. Nowadays it unlocks the locked apps whenever it recognized faces, not the saved or trained faces. i tried even by focusing the front cam on a pic in my computer(not mine, of random from google), it unlocked the phone.

So, Uninstalled it..

Any ideas?

[General Questions and Answers] SoonerLater:
This is a wild shot in the dark... but is it possible that in applying the Lagfix to my Droid Charge (which changes the file system on the phone) that it could somehow impair my ability to view files on the DC from my PC using a USB connection?

I have a Samsung Droid Charge on Verizon. When I connect it via USB cable to a PC running Windows XP or one running Windows 7 (64bit), it shows me only some of the files. For example, my SD card has a folder \Music\. Under \Music\ are about 300 folders (one per artist). In each artist folder is at least one subfolder (one per album). The music tracks are in the album subfolders.

Here's the weird part... all of the artist folders show up, but only about the first (first, by alphabetical order) two dozen artist folders show as having any album subfolders. The rest show as empty. When I browse the SD card using Droid Charge itself, all of the folders and files are present. The seemingly missing folders and files only appear to be missing when viewing from a PC using USB. By the way, USB Debugging is OFF. I'm selecting "Mass Storage" mode when I connect the usb cable.

For what it's worth... when I browse the SD card from a PC using the "WIFI File Explorer" app from the Android marketplace, all of the folders and files are present. They're just not all visible (apparently missing) when using USB.

Ideas? Can this possibly be related to the lagfix? :confused:

Update includes "Vodafone Rescue" app.

New build is 1.35.161.2.

Anyone know if there's actually anything worthwhile in this release ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Same as the others, bug fixes and some speed ups. Do it, always worth keeping up to date
[HTC Sensation] FrameworkTraining:
Looks like the postcode problem has been fixed. This pleases me.
[HTC Sensation] kiwiandy:
I prefer to tread with caution. I did an OTA update on my DHD to Gingerbread, and lost the ability t root it when they locked down the bootloader.

Look before you leap I think is the right approach with this!

I also just got advised there is a 1.35.707.1 update available for mine.. but will wait a few days and see whats in it.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
There's nothing in it, it's just bug fixes. Temp-root still works and it improves the phone. There's no benefit in holding off updating. Once we get S-OFF it won't even matter
