my g1 is already link with google and i have already looked for youtube on the market and cant find youtube. i also download the youtube app from 4shared.com and try to install it and it said that youtube cant be install on my fone...

Did you enable install from unknown sources in settings>applications
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
what rom do you have? if it donut than you might need an older version of the apk... maybe
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoogleDood:
My guess is you don't have a compatible version of the Android OS installed. You said you have a rooted G1, what custom ROM are you using? If not you cannot install the current version of the youtube app. You probably are either not running a custom ROM at all, or you are running one that is older then Android 2.2... That's the minimum for the youtube app.

I found a store in my town that had the SD Card gingerbread update so I went there today. While I was waiting to be seen, I saw a My Touch 4g get updated using the SD Card by a customer service person. It took about 10 minutes. I was encouraged to see how quick it took. Now it was my turn. The customer service (C/S) who assisted me was a former tech support person for Tmoble who was now working in a store. She was very knowledgeable and very nice. She took my sdcard out and put in the gingerbread sdcard. The update started. There was about 10 steps that the update had to go through. The first step was 'bootloader'. The C/S said that this was the first G2 that she has done. She said she had done her My Touch 4g Slide and the update went smooth so again I was encouraged. I was happy to not have to wait for the OTA.

Well the update started on the first step and 45 minutes later, it was still on the first step. So she stopped the update to allow me to do a factory reset of my phone and I did so. The store had two gingerbread sdcards so she tried the second one on my phone. I went to starbucks for coffee and 20 minutes later, the update was still stuck on the first step. So, she told me that there was something wrong. She asked me if I had done anything to the phone? I said no. I told her that this G2 was a replacement phone that I had just recieved about a month ago because my first G2 stop charging. Well she gave up and so did I.

I called TMO C/S and they said that they had no record of the G2's having problems with the store gingerbread sdcards. He first asked me if I had any third party apps on my phone, I said no. They told me that the cards did not come from them but they came from HTC. So, I called HTC. The guy there commenced to reading the press release that we all have read a thousands times about being able to go to the store and get gingerbread after August 6. He also told me that he had no record of G2's having problems getting the update at the stores. I asked him if the same SD Card was to be used on the My Touch and on the G2? He said that he did not know and yes he was tech support . He advised me to call HTC headquarters at a different number and ask them that but they were closed.

I know some of you are gonna tell me to do the update myself with the links that are eveywhere on the web. Well, I'm not gonna do that. Tmo and HTC gotta get it together. They are running a business and they MUST do what they say they gonna do. I know that TMO don't have to provide any updates, I know this but they are offiering the updates and they tell us to wait for the OTA or go to a store after the Aug 6. Well I did that, I got nothing. By the way, there are three TMO stores in my town and only one had the SDCARDS. Peace
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Well they DON'T know what they are doing otherwise the custom rom community wouldn't be as big as it is if they were able to get anything right themselves. So your **** out of luck. Let us know when you want a good working phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
That's being kinda rude. If he doesn't want to root or apply manually he doesn't have to. He's just telling us what happened. No need to be rude.

OP, if the SDcard update didn't work, you should wait and see if you can get the OTA. If the OTA isn't working for your device either, you should contact T-mobile and express that you'd like a phone with 2.3 or will properly update to 2.3, assuming that you don't want to root or manually apply the update yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Throatchopper:
That's ridiculous....minus the rude part, it is true tmobile and htc would much rather see you buy one of their newer phones and renew your contact than get a good working update. Try custom roms if you can...the vision is one of the easiest to root and stable when rooted and there are hundreds of roms around, I'm sure theres some rom gingerbread flavored you'll like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
Whether you choose to root or not, it's your device and you can do what you want with it. If you want the stock T-mo experience, then they should give you what they promised you. Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
While I disagree with you rooting (many of the problems here are people who shouldn't even need to root in the first place, it's not for everybody), I don't understand why you wouldn't manually update. Download the file, name it update.zip, put on your sd card root, press a few buttons, done!
[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
Exactly, easiest thing to do

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] rkwhyte2:
I may have the answer. You said that you had received the phone as a replacement. Did it already have gingerbread on it? Remember that some of the phones people were getting as replacements had gingerbread 2.3.3 on them and if your phone was one of those you can't update from 2.3.3 to the final release which is 2.3.4. Just a thought.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brownbomba:
The replacement phone I received was 2.2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brownbomba:
I am very familar with rooting. I rooted my G1 within 5 months of having it and it stayed rooted for a year and half more until I retired it and got the G2. The reason I chose not to root my G2 was because I did not want to be contastantly flashing and removing roms and fixing issues. I got tired of baby sitting my G1. I have other things to do.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr234:
So... you tried a bunch of half-baked "roms" made by a bunch of kiddies who don't know what they're doing and found it a royal PITA. Ever heard of a "superstock" system image? Its basically the factory image with a few goodies added in, specifically ROOT. It doesn't require any "babysitting", but opens the door for some amount of enhancement, like the ability to change your hosts file (usually used to block spam), or the ability to delete useless cruft from the system image (i.e., you don't like the gmail application? Delete it.). You don't have to go with a full out special brownies system, but it is nice to at least gain control of what you own.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
The store I work at finally got the SD cards to update, but the G2 update will not install.

The update works fine on the mytouch 4g, so the card is goood.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rkwhyte2:
Well that sucks. Hope you get the issue resolved soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Looks like I figured it out. The G2 would only update if the battery was %100 charged.

Any less and it would freeze during the update.

Now that I know the update works I'll try and post the files when I get home.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Milo_Hutz:
Thanks atlp99!

I'd really like to get my hands on that file. I assume it is a pc10img.zip ? Seems like this is the best solution for those of us running the 2.3.3 leak...
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
G2 2.3.4 update pc10img

Here is the G2 update off of the micro sd cards the stores are receiving.

https://rapidshare.com/files/3796067356/PC10IMG.zip
[G2 and Desire Z General] Milo_Hutz:
Works for 2.3.3 leak!

Just used this file to update my G2 running the 2.3.3 "leaked" gingerbread rom. No problems. Just slip the file into your root directory, and hold the volume down while turning the phone on. Piece of cake. You will lose your application data, of course, but you'll be updated...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blink37x:
No less than a day after I suck it up and downgrade my G2 to 2.2 so I can update (using update.zip) to 2.3.4 does the PC10IMG.zip get posted. My lack of patience kicked in. Nevertheless, thank you for posting this!
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Hopefully a dev can finally make a debloated with goodies added rom! Please god!
[G2 and Desire Z General] brownbomba:
Having my battery at 100 percent did not work for me. The update still just sat there looking at me. This is crazy buy while I was trying to figure out what the problem was. I decided to do checkin and about 5 minutes later, I got the updae OTA:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
I'm not sure why the g2 is having issues with installing this. It took 3 tries to get our store demo to update (and it was left over night on a charger once). The only difference was that the time it was successful was with a full battery. I did hard reset it also but the update failed once after the hard reset.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jarheadflip:
Do i change pc10img to update.zip then flash?
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
No, leave it as pc10img.zip and boot into bootloader with it on the root of your SD card. The phone should recognize the file and start updating.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZander:
I got my EVO after all root screwing firmware came out. So I tried to get a wiimote app working it couldn't without root. But then I just read a thread where some jerk said Why do you need root for this and wiimote. So I figured I would ask instead of searching.

Nope. Gotta be rooted. Can't use the Wiimote controller on Sense ROMs, only AOSP.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] alexxfreeman:
I know the Tab 10.1 says it's not charging when you connect it to PC but then so does the iPad 2.

Something I noticed with my friends' iPads is that they actually DO charge from USB even though it says they are not. Now, I thought to try that on my 10.1 and guess what?

Plugged it in at 67% and 15 minutes later it's 70% and still says not charging.

What's up with that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
It'll trickle charge if you don't use it, but it'll actually drain (or at best remain steady) if you use it while hooked into a USB port rather than mains power. That's not charging in Samsung's book. Same thing if you hook it up to a 1A USB wall or car charger.

Same thing with the iPad, the Galaxy Tab 7", and just about any other "big battery" tablet on the market.

Now, you can "trick" it into thinking it's charging with the use of a special cable, but it's not actually going to charge any faster on USB than it would without the cable.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tghockey07:
The tab needs 2A to charge and if you plug it into anything other than 2A it will say it is not sufficient enough to charge. It will charge it, but it will take 10x as long to charge.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ph00ny:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] synpax:
1) I haven't looked at it in a store yet, but saw somewhere online where it had ATT 3G frequencies.

2) How does this device compare to my OC'd HTV Vision running Cyanogen 7 (nightlies)? Does that duel core really make a difference?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
1) supported bands: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS1700, UMTS2100

2) it's faster.. although my G2 on CM7 nightlies was no slouch. the MT4GS is smooth as glass even on the godawful TMO fudged sense "3.0", which even a heavily overclocked Vision would struggle to run without hitches.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cberbes:
I disagree with the comparison to the G2 on CM7. Granted I don't use nightlies, my G2 is on CM7.1.0 RC, and it runs as fast, if not faster, than the stock MTS4G. Plus it gets MUCH better battery life. At least I don't notice the MTS being faster. I personally don't like sense, and there are a lot of features (both installed and missing) on stock sense compared to CM7. I think that's one of the biggest reasons the battery lasts longer, lack of sense and the fact that I can overclock/underclock the CPU.

I know there is a lot of debate over the reliability of Quadrant Standard. But with everything off and as many apps force closed as possible, I get 16XX on the MTS4G, but 18XX+ with the G2. I have it over clocked to 1209 max and 245 min, set "on demand".

In my humble opinion, if you are debating on getting the MTS4G....and you like CM7, I would wait until S-off root is available.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] synpax:
I appreciate your help but am not sure the answer to my first question (yes or no): does it support AT&T 3G bands in the US?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Mistix:
I could be wrong but, my understanding is that this phone will not work on ATT 3G frequencies. It will work for regular voice calls (once unlocked) but not ATT 3G.

I came to this conclusion by reading the specs... (again I could be wrong)

Quad Band 2G 850/900/1800/1900, 3G 1700/2100 & T-M 4G

1700/2100 is not ATT 3G even though the 2G works on both...
[Defy General] syl0n:
The rubber covers on all the ports that defy has, are these annoying and get in the way? especially the 3.5mm audio jack? I am thinking of buying a Defy and I wanted to know what it is like with those.
[Defy General] wrecker1:
Personally, the only con to the Defy is case options. It is impossible to get a holster combo. On your particular question, the only thing those plugs will do is save your a**. Dropped my wife's G2 in coffee for 1/2 a second... Not pretty or cheap. Had my Defy rained on countless times. Nice having one less thing to worry about on the side of the highway while assisting motorists.
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
They haven't gotten in the way at all for me, but I'm using a gel case so maybe the rubber covers don't stick out as much.

They are amazing for peace of mind, though. The other day I was having a meal and spilled my drink all over the table (and on my phone).. everyone was wondering why I wasn't worried at all :D
[Defy General] lanfearxt:
lol, you'll probably take it to the sink and give it a wash as well :P
[Defy General] gramps50:
When you 1st get the phone they seem to be a little bit of a pain but it doesn't take long to get use to them. Unless your using one of the jacks you don't even know they are there.

The extra protection they provide is well worth the little extra hassle

I prefer hard buttons.

You don't have to look at the screen to press where you need to, and you dont need to remove your finger and reapply to click more than once.

hardware buttons

with buttons, its either you click or you dont (nothing accidental)

For navigating UI and managing things on my phone, I surely prefer the touch screen. BUT... when *anything* requires typing, real buttons beat touchscreen hands-down.

If only i could just use a mouse on my phone, lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandab:
Hey XDA,

I'm looking for a rom with reliable gps.

I've used CM7 and Trigger and they both give me the same problems (probably cuz trigger is based off cm7).

I know people using CM7 are having issues getting a lock with the GPS but for me, my gps doesn't even try. for example, when i turn on my maps/navigation/gps test app, the blinking gps icon doesn't even show up. I can only get it to appear if i restart my phone and that's only the first time i run an app that uses gps. once it closes and i open an app to use gps again, nothing.

I'm going on a trip this weekend and I think it would be handy to have.

So my questions are.

1. If you're using cm7 or trigger, are you having the same experience? I assume people do get the icon in the notification bar but just can't lock satellites.

2. If your gps works, which rom are you using?

3. If you got your gps to work on cm7 or trigger, how did you do it? i think i've tried all the "working" ones from this forum. but i could be wrong/doing it wrong.

Thanks guys!

ps. I've done the hardware gps "fix" if that matters at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavyA:
I am running MIUI revamped and managed to get it to work.

I think that some of the gps config tweaks were included in the 1.8.5 build.

I'm not entirely sure how (I tried a lot of the fixes), but right now it is locking, and can relock. I ran it this morning on my way to work and again on my way home.

Here's what I remember doing:

Replaced AngryGPS with AngryGPSMod (Then executed the apk in root explorer to install it into the apps list)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172428

Flashed the CM7 GPS fix

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1199613

Flashed the regional gps data file (I'm in Oklahoma, so mid-south states)

I don't remember where the thread was, you'll need to search for it.

Make sure to use the google supl server settings. You can find them in various ROM threads.

An alternate supl server is the nokia one (worked well for me in Froyo)

Settings are here:

Use GPS Test to see if it locks onto the birds.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
go back to 2.2 they have reliable gps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
Agreed. People keep claiming GB has GPS working reliably, but it doesn't. Even the devs who engineered the current GPS fixes admit they are "half-assed". No slight to the devs, but until Samsung mans up and releases GB for the Vibrant (which they won't because TMO hates us), it's not going to get better. Between this and the battery life, GB is just a toy. Go back to 2.2 like I did.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
ODIN to JFD = No - Maybe - Yes depending on who you ask

Custom 2.2 / stock 2.2 = Yes

CM7/MIUI/Trigger = Maybe, not reliable.

If on 2.2 you have issues, the solution posted by digitaltoddy always works for me.

[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
Ok guys, before I go into my question let me tell you what I did. (a bit of a long story, if you don't want to read it, just head to the bottom to read my question ;))

I did a complete format of my phone inside twrp, wiped everything, to install a new rom. I got an error which after a bit of searching I found out that I had to install the latest twrp. So, withing the twrp menu, I selected "mount usb" and copied the latest pc86img file to the card. I dismounted and, again, inside the twrp menu selected "power off". I turned on the phone by holding down the volume button. It updated the recovery and all was good..... up to right now.

Now, I could not boot my phone into a rom because I had already formatted all of my phone, so I could not erase the pc86img file. Also, I could not boot into recovery because hboot kept finding the pc86img file and it would not give me any other options than to apply or reboot.

I ended removing the case, removing the back cover, removing the battery, removing the sdcard, plugging in my sdcard into my computer, deleting the file, putting back the sdcard, put the battery, put the back cover, and finally put the case back on.

I think this was too much work for something so simple. I remember in my Evo 4G, if there was a pc86img file sitting in the sdcard, the bootloader would detect it and if I did not want to apply it, it would just take me back to the bootloader's menu.

So, now to my question: is there anybody out there in this wonderful community of hackers talented enough to put out a new/modified hboot that will thow me back to the bootloader menu if I don't want to apply the pc86img file? Thanks.
