[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Somehow I feel very doubtful that your Linux OS cannot be set up to mount the a500 as a USB storage device. My Linux skills are rather rusty and outdated, however - so I could be wrong. Can you emulate a stripped down version of windows from your Linux system to get around this?
[Acer Iconia A500] kevindt:
I can vouch for using software data cable (free app from AM).

Works perfectly with my iMac and should do with PC, since it essentially opens an FTP port on the Iconia (port 8888 by default) that can be accessed by any FTP client on the computer (I use Cyberduck on Mac, FireFTP plugin for Firefox works on all OS's).

If you are rooted, check root access in the app settings to get into the root, and find /mnt/external_SD for the add-on card. It is probably smartest not to leave the root access on all of the time unless you really need it as there is abundant opportunity to create havoc accidentally :)

[Acer Iconia A500] gramps50:
I didn't say it couldn't be done, I just think that it's strange and wrong to make an Android device dependent on having Windows. Yes I suppose I could install Windows in a Vm but I won't.

Using Google (pun intended) I found a fairly simple solution. It's not plug-n-play but is very doable even by an non techie.

There are also some ways of access the Tab file system using a browser and Wifi
[Acer Iconia A500] gramps50:
Nice app thanks, didn't show up when searching for FTP servers. ;(

The only minor issue I see is that at 1st glance it appears that you don't have access to the external_sd card unless Rooted.

Did work better than any of the other FTP servers I have tried.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xzillerationer:
I'm having trouble sending MMS's on my Verizon Xperia Play. I've called Verizon, and they managed to troubleshoot it to a device issue. The picture is never leaving the phone, but, today I went to a Verizon store, and they said there that certain third party apps could cause issues with MMS's. I was highly skeptical, and still am, but he said that Dolphin Browser could be a cause, and told me to do a hard reset to get rid of all the third party applications, then test it. But, as I have tons of games and save games on there that I don't want to lose, and no root access, I am very hesitant. This problem has plagued me since day one, and it is very annoying. So, my question is, could third party apps(such as Dolphin Web Browser) cause my MMS to stop working? I'm running 2.3.2, stock Android(FTW!), and the stock messaging app.

[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
Looking for the files for the stock news and Weather widget ? Running ADW ex launcher, and it doesn't show it for some reason ? Can I install those separately ?

To me ADW, is a must have on the EVO-3D, because it allows for customizing the amount of rows of icons, and having 5 rows high of apps is a must on the higher resolution of the 3VO, because stock, with just 4 rows seems ****ed up, like to much space between widgets.

I'm also using an alternative launcher (Zeam Launcher) and would like to use some of the HTC widgets, yet those are only available when using Sense. What apk did you use (for example to get the weather widget back)? I imagine I can find it on the webs?
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
Does anyone have the stock non transparent News and Weather widget apk ? Now I don;t like the totally clear background, makes it harder to read, I prefer the black background, or even better would be a semi-transparent with dark grey background, sort of see through.

Anything out there ?

Is it just my View or is the stock mail app messed up. I have a shortcut to the mail app on the home screen. When I get a new email the notifier tells me and the mail icon on the home screen has a number on showing the number of new emails. I tap the mail icon and open the mail app and instead of showing the messages, it says no mail. I have to open the mail app and then tell it to refresh on order to see the email that the app notifier has told me that I have. Is this how the stock mail app is normally?

Along with BetterBatteryStats posted above (and in my signature, as "here"), I also use Where's My Droid Power as well. It's not as scientific, but it gives you another look. I've found it to be fairly accurate.

I also use CurrentWidget. It allows you to see the current (mA) usage and has a logging option that allows you to sort processes by their average usage.

I've yet to fail in finding out what's draining my battery unusually fast lol.

Gingerbread is ****E. Crashing often to "HTC" screen and "loading"

So I am pretty sick of the gingerbread update already...

Using the offical update from HTC I have now a very unstable phone, almost every time I exit any app to home screen I get the green "HTC" logo on white background, then LOADING as if the phone restarted its self.

I tried deleting data for HTC Sense and re-doing my home screens but same problem.

I guess next thing to try is to backup the phone and restore factory defaults, but how can I backup my apps data (like fuel log etc) when I am not rooted? titanium backup requires root i see...

My buddy had the same exact problems, plus his touch screen was going crazy. (Evo Slide with ota update). I did a factory settings and reset his phone. He said its working good now. Must be something in the data...idk.

Can use the new guide without the permenent parts and you should be able to get temp root and than backup your data/apps. Worth looking into tho.

Need Help: Example app to control buttons & slider for output to serial via WiFi/BT

I am not very familiar with App Inventor, and can not seem to locate any software that will allow a complete noob to work on an app with a WYSIWYG interface.

Is there a way I can create an app and assign buttons and sliders to allow me to send serial commands out to a WiFi or Bluetooth connection?

If I saw sort of a sample or a template on how a button and a slider is to be set up on App Inventor I bet that I could duplicate it and continue on my own from there.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awebster:
Hi all, I don't think most Vibrant users worry about it (at least from what I've seen), but do you worry about losing your baseband/EFS partition/IMEI info when flashing?

For those of you who don't know or forgot, basically some flashes can result in a generic IMEI number and you SIM card would no longer be readable under any custom ROM. You would then have to ODIN to stock and stay there forever, as that is the only way your SIM would be readable. :(

I know this was a problem a while ago when CM7 or MIUI was flashed, but is it even worth worrying about anymore?

Hopefully someone can inform me and others about the issue. Thank you for your time!

Hey laylovj,

So we only have to ODIN to stock if we're going from an AOSP rom to some non-AOSP ROM? (How common are these?)

Also, I remember hearing that if we want to go from Gingerbread (specifically CM7) back to Froyo we'd have to ODIN. Not true?
