[Acer Iconia A500] chirameto:
I need to use usb microscope (which use general linux UVC driver on my natty ubuntu) on a500 to capture magnified image for my daily work.

However, I couldn't get it to work in every possible camera app that I could try. (After i plugged in then dmesg, it shows that UVC 1.0 device USB2.0 camera (1871:7670) found.)

After reading on many forum for a week, i have been convinced that I should try compiling my own driver first. It should work fine with default android camera app. The only place I that seems to be able to use external usb camera on their device is advent vega at Modaco.

I also found a good step by step in building UVC driver module for arm based device such as android here. But I have very limited linux knowledge so I couldn't apply it to my need.

Can someone please enlighten me by providing steps for a complete noob, like me to be able to build my own driver?

Information on the UVC driver sources can be found here at linuxtv.org.

I'm currently using richardtrip kernel which can be found here.

I would also be interested in a UVC driver for android!
[General Questions and Answers] yjwoo14:
Hi, I have 2 devices, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7' (Gingerbread 2.3.4) and iPhone 4 (iOS 5 beta 4).

I tried to connect the android device to iPhone hotspot to use Wi-fi. But it failed.

However iPhone 4 could be connected to Galaxy Tab hotspot.

To test my devices I borrowed several android devices, Galaxy S and HTC Desire 2. And then tried it again.

However, still my iPhone couldn't use the hotspots. (the other way, connecting my iPhone to the android devices works though.)

Also, my Galaxy tab can use the android devices' hotspot.

Actually, I saw several posts on this forum about connecting android device to ad-hoc network. And I tried to changed several wpa_supplicant versions. But It didn't help.

I guess ad-hoc network patch is meaningful if my android device cannot access any hotspot no matter what device is (android, iOS). But my Galaxy tab can access android hotspot. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rog152:
Both are right around the corner. If getting TouchWiz delayed us getting the 3.2 update and ICS which of the 2 would you rather have for you Tab?

Touch Wiz 4.0 or Android 3.2 update?

Knowing Samsung I doubt we get both.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bbeelzebub:
I'm not really concerned about 3.2. Isn't it really just optimization for smaller tablets? I'd rather have TW now with all bugs fixed and working great.... then they can slack til ICS all they want as long as they send that out at a reasonable time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zaphyr:
I'd rather have 3.2

TW just makes my Tab laggy, I installed ADW EX and it's smooth as silk
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PookiePrancer:
Despite my initial apprehension, I'm actually digging TW, so I could pass on 3.2. However, if ICS is the major upgrade it's supposed to be, I'd drop TW in a second.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tiny4579:
I believe ics is supposed to be open unlike honeycomb. meaning cm is a definite possibility.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Buff McBigstuff:
I might be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Cyanogen said there is no CM8 BECAUSE HC is not open. I guess that implies that CM9(ICS) is more than a possibility.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PookiePrancer:
Don't really know how CyanogenMod entered this discussion, but having tried it on my Evo, I can definitely pass on that for the Tab as well. It was cool, but still has way too many annoyances you just shouldn't have to put up with. Switched to MikG on the Evo and never looked back. o
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
wow, I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone say they don't like cyanogenmod. I suppose everyone has their own tastes but I've been using it for almost 2 years now and I have no intention of ever looking back. It kills me a little bit inside that there is not HC version. Looking forward to ICS.

Also, if we're discussing whether or not it ICS will be a major update, Romain Guy(from the Android team) said at one of his talks during Google I/O that they are putting more work into ICS than they have for any other version except 1.0. It's going to be huge. Cannot wait. I'm also equally excited to get myself a nexus 3/prime/whatever. my n1 is starting to show it's age..

Im coming from ICBINB and decided to flash Audiofile, but it seems to be stuck at checking permissions, just wondering if i can take out my battery or will that hard brick my phone or what steps should i take?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] (•.•):
congratz on your first post.. :D

I think, the problem has to do with DRM.

You should try to deactivate some apps and systemapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] julz2589:
so its okay to the battery out at this stage? its still at the point where i just flashed the rom, and it finished installing the system, data, and it set permissions and installed busybox, but its stuck at checking permission, i guess its around half of the overall process
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
did you remember to factory reset and wipe cache? as for pulling out the battery....if it doesnt continue, i guess you have no choice. i do not think it would result in a hard brick because you never messed with the bootloaders; but you never know what can happen.

forgot to do that, thanks for the reply, i got it going, mayb overeacted a lil, just never encountered anything like that and it just made me nervous

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex88510:
I found other similar thread about barcode scanner but none of them mentioned my problem(may be have and I miss it?)

I flash my phone to XXKB3 long time ago then found that the barcode scanner won't work and showing ("Sorry, the Android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device"). However the phone camera works fine.

So, I decided to flash it again 2 days ago. After flashed it, I immediately check both phone camera and barcode scanner and all turns out fine.

So, I happily root and deodex my phone and check again, still no problem.

After that, I want to try the tw launcher 4.5 so i do a nandroid backup using CWM.

After change to tw launcher 4.5, the barcode scanner start to showing the same problem...So, i thought it may be cause by the launcher so i do a restore using the nandroid backup. Still, the problem still there.

Anyone know what is the problem? Phone camera works fine without any problem but barcode scanner won't work.

Your help is much appreciated.:)

EDIT: The problem solved by re-enable the stock email apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falex007:
It's strange. I have rooted deodexed XXKB3 + CWM + ext4 converting + I tested twlauncher4.5 (now I removed it because I like more Go Launcher Ex). And barcode scanner works fine for me.

I think the problem is wrong settings(broken?) of something(barcode scanner, system settings or something else). And them conflicts with your scanner.

At the first try to go To application manager, find barcode scanner and clean data.

if it won't help try to

1. go to recovery console and format /system, /cache, /data

2. restore your nandroid backup.

if it will not help too try to

1. backup all from your internal sd card

2. format your internal sdcard from phone menu

And install application you lose (some of applications can be installed at the internal sdcard). Do not restore backups from titanium backup — it will restore applications with their wrong settings.

if it will not help, I don't know what to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangalorerohan:
By problem what do you mean? Like the scanner if not working in the sense it is not opening or is it that teh barcode is not recognised?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex88510:
already tried to clean the data of that apps but wont help.

already tried nandroid restore still nothing...

and I didn't install anything in Internal SDcard....so it won't affect?

the barcode scanner just open up and then show "Sorry, the Android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device.". After click ok it close by itself...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex88510:
Anyone willing to help?:confused::(

I think it didn't caused by the tw launcher 4.5...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Random:
confusing as it may sound but the camera is tied in with stock e-mail app (read that somewhere after having same issue as you describe)

which means: if you remove the stock mail app, QR code scanning doesn't work anymore at all (works the first time you use it, then you get an error message)

had the issue and had to re-flash FW, did NOT remove stock mail app and afterwards all worked

maybe your stock mail app's corrupted after deodexing and this causes the problem?

and yes, im an utter and complete noob :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex88510:

After restoring it, and clear the barcode scanner cache, it work again!!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MarkE08:
Did a quick search and didn't find anything on this on SGS4G general.

I installed KG4 rom the day it was posted. Rooted it and restored Link2SD via TB. Tried to mount my 1GB EXT4 #2 partition on the SD and it worked. Fired up terminal and looked through my mounts and EXT4 /data/sdext2 was on there. Looked through the timestamps and stuff that I moved seemed to match.

I didn't try KF1 or KF2 so I don't know if this is old news with Gingerbread roms on SGS4G. I know AOSP v2.3+ use EXT4 natively.

Lagfix doable on stock kernel? :p I'm a noob, just throwing an idea out there :) Thinking about it, I don't think it's doable unless zImage is modified.

[HTC Wildfire S] taffypride:
Not sure if anyone is aware, or whether they have been put off getting the XTC Clip because of the price, but they have a massive 80% off the original price of the clip.

Price is now just shy (in the UK) of £40 rather than £199

Maybe this could be the final push to opening up custom roms for our device (after first S-Offing.....) :)

What do you guys think?
[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
What are those guys warranty and liability terms?

Do they have an insurance? They should have one to pay their valued customers if X-Clip breaks something. Product liability Insurances are not that expensive, nowadays.

I've paid too much for this product to brick it, since rooting voids warranty from HTC.

And well, no root but more chances if the phone gets lost or stolen to get it back, because high costs and H/W crack solution only to remove the "security locks" for the thief.
[HTC Wildfire S] taffypride:
well I think there will always be the risk of 'bricking' the device, but so many people have successfully S-Offed using the XTC Clip, and seeing as this is the only way at the moment to root our Wildfire S...... well I'll take the risk.

As for removing the Security Locks for the thief if the phone is lost or stolen? well, not really. You can still set locks within Android itself, plus if you phone was ever lost or stolen, well you just ring up your Network Provider, eg, Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, etc, and they can block the phone by the individual IMEI number
[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
They will charge highly for this service and the IMEI # may be altered by such tools, too, or is this device auth data crypto-secured in ROM?

Sorry for stupid Q but I've only private used very cheap cellphones so far since I've never paid the high costs for mobile contracts to get a sponsored phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] taffypride:
the only way to change the IMEI of a phone is by changing the entire motherboard of the phone (as far as I am aware) which makes it not worth doing.
[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
http://imei-number.com/change-imei-number/

"How can manufacturers prevent IMEI changing?

Actualy there is no 100% security just as all other problematic things on the world. Manufacturers can do their best but still you can change chip and reprogram it if you have the same knowledge as manufacturers employees."

That disclaimer says it all.

Every PS modder garage could do that.
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
Your concern regarding security has not much to do with s-off/rooting the phone. If you lose your phone, your data is available to whomever has the phone regardless of wether or not the phone is rooted/s-off.

So back on-topic: since my PAYG clip is now unlimited, if there's anyone in my region (southern of the Netherlands) that needs a phone unlocked, feel free to contact me.
[HTC Wildfire S] haven80:
I have ordered one form here http://cgi.ebay.it/XTC-Clip-HTC-And...?pt=UK_Phones_Software_RL&hash=item20b76edaff

53 EUR TOTAL.
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
Including shipping of €11.

Is the PAYG clip completely unavailable now? I ordered mine for 22 pound (roughly 27 euro).
[HTC Wildfire S] sammyke007:
I paid the same! Because of the big price drop they decided to stop selling the PayG as it became "useless" because it's also unlimited.

People who already bought the "PayG's" got the 1.4.5 update as extra. I think I was one of the last people who bought one ;-)

Now they're only selling the normal XTC clips a bit more expensive than the PayG version was. I wonder what the resellers are doing with the overstock on PayG's now? :-D
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
Probably upgrading them themselves and then sell them as regular XTC clips? Anyway, 22 pounds was a reasonable price, but 50 euro is rather expensive for use on a 250 euro phone. I don't think it'll be useful for newer phones that are no longer Qualcomm based.

[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
I was surprised to find that all you need to do on a GB ROM is install the .apk to get it working. Here's a link to the Evo 4G forum post by jelive.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=795233

Just d/l the .apk in the original post and run it from a file explorer like ES File Explorer. You have to enable unknown sources under settings-> applications.

***Do not use the .zip, use the .apk!

This app adds custom equalization, compression, bass boost etc. for bluetooth device, headset, or phone speaker profiles.

After reading your post I decided to give it a try and downloaded the "es file transfer" and unchecked the "UNKONWN" permissions and loaded it.

Intro morning when I start my HD2 in Win ( I have Android on SD), on the screen appear permanently the volume controller (1-3 refresh per second) and I can't do nothing( touch button or touch screen, volume controller reappears) . In finily I removed volume controll from windows and I return to classic volume controll and now I can controll the screen.

But, but, but... The battery drain faster than before.Even if the phone is off, over night the battery is discharged.

I have all time UP volume button press, aparently. But in real , I remove flex cable and efect is similar. I think the problem is one shortcircuit (but I don't see nothing wrong) or motherboard is faulty ( the controller I/O inside the CPU). I check voltage and I have 1.86V for button volume up permanently.

What you think? You can help me?

Hi,

Could you tell me how you removed volume control from windows and returned to classic volume control? I am in to similar situation where it appears as though the volume-up button is stuck. I don't know how I got in to this. In desparation, I am in the process of flashing an Android ROM, hoping that it will fix the issue. As of now, I have flashed HardSPL and MAGLDR 1.13, but the problem still persists. The Android ROM is being downloaded now. After seeing that the issue did not get resolved till now, I feel that flashing the ROM too may not solve this problem. I am desperately looking for a solution. I cannot afford another HD2 phone.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegreenwhite:
Last night when i connected my phone to the PC through ZUNE software, i was notified i have a software update from HTC. I proceeded with the upgrade, properly following the instructions. Problem was the update stopped at 9/10, even after i waited for 20 minutes still no change (phone is still working that time).

But when i tried to do RESTORE my phone through ZUNE again (i was worried software update was not fully successful) i received an error 80180083 ("the data received was corrupt or not valid") around 70% status. It asked me to disconnect phone. Now the phone is stuck with a picture showing me to connect my phone to the pc. When i do this, it will try to do a restore again but will repeatedly fail the same as before.

Even if i do a HARD reset (power BUTTON + up&down VOLUME), i will still get the same screen showing me the picture to connect my phone to the PC. Nothing seems to correct this problem (i consulted Microsoft Answers website for this, no clear solution so far and some people submitted their phones to HTC).

Anybody recently encountered this? Let me know how you resolved this problem...

Thanks for your help but I just sent in my phone for repair. Apparently the motherboard was replaced.

When i redid my update after getting back my phone, it was definintely faster. The update was succesful!

The major difference is the amount of memory space on my phone - previously my remaining space was ard 600mb (lots of music) compared to post repair (14G). Maybe that made my previous update difficult. I think it's best to remove files before doing the update, esp when it nearing full.

Just my 2 cents... :D
[Nook Color General] gijosh28:
I have a Nook Color running CM Nightly #144. When I open windows media player with the intention of syncing my music to my Nook, it doesn't see it as an applicable device. I've tried turning debugging mode on and off, and I've tried it with USB storage both off and on.

Under Device Manager -> Portable Devices, I have F:\ (SD card) and MyNOOKcolor.

Am I doing this wrong? Am I missing a driver that lets WMP see the Nook Color as a device? Anyone have any suggestions?

If I had a way of exporting all the music from a playlist to a memory card or external harddrive that might work for me too, but I'd rather be able to sync with WMP or something like it. Will Winamp do that?

I know someone is going to suggest I just drag and drop my music. I don't want all my music on my nook, just certain playlists worth. I.E. gym playlist (Kanye West, Wu Tang Clan), roadtrip playlist (Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Pink Floyd), baby making music (Barry White, Bob Marley, Enigma, and Slipknot), robbing banks music (Fun Loving Criminals, Bloodhound Gang), etc., so syncing is the better option for me.

Thanks,
