Alternative way to enter download mode

If you're getting that screen, do this:

1) Plug your phone into USB with the back *off*

2) Pull the battery

3) Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down

4) While holding those buttons, plug your battery back in

At that point, ODIN will recognize the phone and you can flash.

Hope this helped, gods know it helped me :D

Paying it forward,

Since I have a lot of passwords I needed a password manager which will fit my needs. I did not want a manager that keeps my passwords safe on their servers but I want to export my db so I can have a backup! That's why I created PassLock password manager and I release it to the market for everyone.

PassLock keeps your passwords safe using AES-256bit and is free.

- You can group your passwords

- You can change/edit your records and also transfer them to an other group

- You can change your master pass

- You can import/export your database

Anyone that will give it a shot please leave feedback.

Since v1.0 I have changed some things that you can find below.

Changes in v1.5.1

Disabled auto-complete/auto-suggest words in passwords fields.(This might not work for all devices and all android versions.Trying to improve)

Changes in v1.5

-Show/Hide option when you type your master pass

-Lock database only and not exit

-Highly configurable password generator added

Devices Support

Unfortunately google does not release yet any documentation about 2.3.5 and also I can not create an AVD with this version for testing the app.

I have test it on 2.3.3(API 10) which is also has the same API with 2.3.4(API 10). If google changed the API level in 2.3.5 it might not work and I will fix it when released.

As far for the SGS2 I am not sure why is not working for some of you...Maybe it's the rom you are using?!As I can see 15 SGS2 has the app working fine!

For any other devices I have to search more so please post your device with the rom you are using and if it is working or not.

Thanks!

Note: The 3 permissions that required are just for the import/export of the database and for the ads!

Showing as incompatible with my Thunderbolt. Running A05PTh30RY 1.3X which is Android 2.3.5
[Android Apps and Games] t3alc:
So why does the app need internet access?

If it's supposed to be a local pw manager i don't see the need for any network access at all, specially not internet.
[Android Apps and Games] Marsou77:

seems to work, but can I access it while on the browser to fill fields or is it strictly a look up your info in this program then go to the browser and enter it manually? (or copy paste)

Would be nice if there was an option to autofill

I just installed on my Atrix. Seems to be working okay. I will do some more testing with it later. Seems to work as advertised--good and simple. Thanks for the dev work.

Will not install to my Tmo Hd2 running Android
[Android Apps and Games] techofweb:
The app doesnt work on many phones I think you need to fix it to gain wide popularity.

But anyways Thanks

And after going to my blog, I think you will Thank me also.

See here http://www.techofweb.com/google/android-passwords-manager.html

But again I dint like its non-working on many Android devices.

Hope you will fix it soon.

Sorry for wrong section, but I have less than 10 posts,

I love MIUI on my Desire S and I would like contribute in some way, so I was wondering where I could find information for translate this rom in Italian. Is it possible to make a porting from existing langpack? Or from scratch?
[HD7 General] vagosnet:
good morning!if i turn on location and have 3g and wifi off does the gps work with satellite signal?for example does Runkeeper app and other apps with tracking work with only GPS and without wifi or 3g?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imotz:
you can set an proxy under wifi settings
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khmaies5:
i know that and i put a ip address and a port but nothing change !!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
It means that proxy is also blocked by your ISP/country. Try different one until you'll find working.

[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
Am I the only one? I mean...I've been on Android for the past 2 years. Since the HTC Hero came out. I've went thru the Hero...the Moment...the Evo...the Evo Shift...the Epic...the Nexus S...and now the 3D. All of these phones I have rooted, modded, customized and ran thru the ringer except for the 3D.

I just dont have a desire to do it anymore. When I was rooting...I was doing something different to my phone every other day. Flashing a different ROM...flashing a different mod...changing something....constant wipes...ect. My purpose for rooting all the previous devices was to make them bigger, better and faster. I dont have that desire with my 3D. It honestly works wonderfully and its as fast as I could possibly want. I dont use Wireless tether and when I do its when I travel in which I dont have a problem paying the few bucks for the service as I need it.

So is it just me? Is root that popular to the majority? I'd assume yes on XDA but I wanted to ask.

Completely unrelated...I'm completely EXCITED because I found a sleek black gel cover for my 3D that will still fit in my leather holster. Complete protection and convienence...NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Allow me to be the first to say: cool story bro.
[HTC EVO 3D] shook187:
I still had the desire to root, but I'm losing the need to flash. The 3d in stock form is great just the way it is.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I can definitely see your position. After a while the phones start coming with the features you want and its needed less to mod it because the feature is now built in.

I get that... I personally haven't hit that point and i know many others haven't either. But, I get it.

But, with the way some companies are doing business its still required by some of us. (Like requiring your phone to be a specific chipset, even though your phones chipset could easily handle the app.)

Are We Not Phones?

We are EVO.

ARE WE NOT PHONES?!

3DEVO!
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I refuse to have an unrooted phone because I love creating my own personal themes. I try to change the look of all, or most of, my apps. I always change the font. I hate the bloat put onto our phones. I need to have a personal splash screen, boot animations, and my own sounds. I have to have my apps backed up w/ data in case some unforseen incident occurs that destroys my phone. I need wifi tether, or hotspot. Now, roms are what I don't really need, but I always find something that I want, so I start flashing.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
They why are you here?

E3D
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
The time this consumes is almost reason enough to not root your phone :eek:

If it wasnt for themes and CM7 I dont think I would root the 3D either...

Hurry CM7!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Okay, now to answer your question:

I am only rooted for CM7 and to try MIUI on capable hardware... Oh yeah and HAVS/UV kernels... And for tethering that I rarely used. Otherwise I do agree with you, for the most part.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I just want the keys to my house, I wanna be able to move my furniture, paint, choose my corn, take out the trash, clear out the ads & network my pad etc, etc.

Not that I have to do any of that now,

I just want the keys to my house. :(

Now I have them ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] carlost24:
I keep reading that you guys root for tethering, I thought that the 3d came with a mobile hotspot and that you can tether away free of charge since data is unlimited

(currently awaiting my 3D to arrive)
[HTC EVO 3D] tgkdubb:
Simple answer. Nope. We're still asked to pay for tethering even with Unlimited Data Plans.
[HTC EVO 3D] carlost24:
Complicated answer? ^^

So to get free tethering I must root? Any specific app they can't trace?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Any
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
To learn more about my 3VO. To find hints and advice to get the most out of it.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
I root to remove bloatware. If I don't want an app I shouldn't be forced into it because of its popularity. If I want it I will add it, there's a market for a reason
[HTC EVO 3D] jedinegotiator:
Sure the stock evo is great but I always like a little more customizations. With root you can save battery, get wifi tether and USB tether, and pretty much do anything you so desire...

I dont flash a rom everyday or even every week. I find a good ROM I really like (currently VIPER) and then I only really flash when they come out with big updates for that ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
You don't have to be a flashaholic. There are a lot of good things that can come from rooting: No more Bloatware, better battery life, quicker updates. I love stock sense but enjoy having small modifications like a circle mod for the battery and CRT.

I did enjoy having CM7 with my hero prior to this phone. Some of that might just be that the Hero was so slow and CM7 made the phone ok.

Each to their own but rooting has a lot more going for it then not going for it.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That all starts with dat root my friend...
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
When Sense 4.0 comes out for the new phones and not the EVO 3D you will want to root, because it will get ported. No Sense 4.0 doesn't exists yet but it will someday unless Apple patents it first.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonmann:
I felt the same way I love sense 3.0 but my cousin convinced me to root but I kept everything the same except a few nice added features:)
[HTC EVO 3D] Reeonimus:
I really want root but with the GSM model i'm out of luck for now. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:

[HTC EVO 3D] funkyboy1281:
my first android phone was the hero and I had that for a good year and half rooted with cyanogen on it. Now I got the 3D and of course it's rooted running the shooter rom until cyanogen is ready for this phone. I love being able to test out all these mods and etc since I don't care about losing my text messages and it's not that difficult to get all my market apps back. Tells you that i sit on these forums A LOT:D
[HTC EVO 3D] skaflone721:
This is a horribly stupid question and you should feel horribly bad.

How about this... let the man get some opinions on the subject.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I am just waiting for HTC to unlock the Bootloader so that the amazing folks here can Reverse Engineer it and can do so without losing Warranty, etc. All the while making the process or Root that much stabler and idiot (me) proof.

Cheers,

JJ
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
I'm coming over from the X10 just today, and I love the EVO 3D!

But with that said, I still want root mostly for Titanium Backup. Give me the ability to backup all my apps and data, and remove the stock apps I don't want (Rogers gives us extra crapware just because).
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
If you make something idiot proof the universe has the tendency to make better idiots...it really is a moving target.

Either way, follow directions and have no problems. This is my 4th Android device and I have yet to have an actual problem that wasn't a result of me either not paying complete attention or me just playing fast and loose with rules I already know...and so long as you don't flash a radio or hboot for another device you should be able to fix it. If you don't feel up to snuff with these requirements I would recommend that you just do not root at all. As easy as a root method can be that is only the beginning of the potential problems...

[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
The forum isn't all about root. There is helpful information everywhere even for those who choose not to root.
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
Lol....sorry....sensitive huh
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
To expand on this post....you can tell the members of xda who are a little more helpful and friendly because they gave good answers to the question...answers that can later be used to illustrate the benefits of rooting to those who don't know.
[HTC EVO 3D] Killa357:
Basically when CM7 gets adapted for the 3D I'm rooting and flashing... I can't stand Sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheSeanR:
I want to root, but i'm a little lazy. I will wait a little while until CM is out I suppose. I miss little things from it, I may try out one of the sense roms, but there is so damn many it's overwhelming and I just say F-it (i know someone made a thread about so many sense roms being posted and he got chewed up and spit out)
[HTC EVO 3D] Zac95:
Honestly with my 3d my only reason to root is battery life and overclocking (because I love big numbers) haha, its just cool to say "my 1.8ghz dual core phone" and tell stuck up iPhone owning friends my phone is nearly 4x as powerful as there beloved iphone.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
funny when i first found out about XDA it was all about the root and to do 90% of the modding you need ROOT

so if people are not wanting to root why are they here ?
[HTC EVO 3D] ReinMaker:
Funny when I first found out about XDA is was all about Windows Mobile...

Don't be so dense, this is the "GENERAL" portion of the forum. There are many things that DON'T require root. People don't come here for the sole purpose of rooting their phones (and doing root related ****) even if the majority might.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I'll probably root and flash custom ROMs at some point but I'm still enjoying my stock Evo at the moment. I'm sure I'll eventually get bored and that's when I'll jump on the bandwagon.

Plus I had CM7 on both my Hero and Gtablet so Sense is a nice change of pace.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Sensitive..nope, not at all. The option to root or not is a individual one. And freedom is what we all have. One of the great benefits of xda is he shared a opinion, I shared mine with him.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
I agree with you. New users need information to decided if to root. If they do root they have wonderful results. This thread was about somebody that decided enough is enough with rooting and flashing. How does that help the new user? I did not need to expand knowledge because the op is a seasoned user. If you deemed I was not helpful or friendly, well, is this thread one?
[HTC EVO 3D] ReinMaker:
You totally missed the the point of the topic. He was asking the board for opinions and whether anyone feels the same. You didn't state any real opinion, just responded with a jackass response basically telling him his thread is pointless.
[HTC EVO 3D] P0ll0L0c0:
The only reason I don't root and flash is that when researching the original EVo - it seemed that by rooting and going to Cyanogen, I'd lose HDMI output - just because the developers hadn't figured out how to enable it. With this phone - I'd be concerned that I might lose some of it's unique features - like the MHL output and 3d playback. I should research to make sure that's the case.

That said - I'm thinking I'll root, and keep most everything as is. That would allow me to add apps that require root. Overall - my experience with the stock 3D has been great.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Very well said...:)
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
I had 3 OG evos..the first one I flashed it do death. Volume buttons got overworked. Did not work anymore. This was a result of all the great roms it has. There are stages to flashing I seen in myself and my friends. 1. Afraid of the first flash. This comes after getting some info and doing it for the first time. 2. Another rom, another flash. At this point, you stay with the one of the first roms you flash or you do one after another. 3 flash to flash. This stage, when a new rom comes out you just flash it for no reason but to check it out. 4. Less flash. This stage you are a flashing pro. You do clearing and wiping in your sleep. This is where I believe the op was at. I myself am at this point. My worthless opinion as others say it is is based upon experience of my self and others. Sometimes the fewer words, the better. What better way of saying enough is enough by saying you have the choice.
[HTC EVO 3D] jringo718:
Dude, what are you talking about? "How about this...if you want to root...root. if not...don't...do you really need a thread?" was an offensive way to "share" your "worthless" opinion.

He didn't just state he's done with this and just left it at that, he specifically asked if people feel the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
If it was course, I do apologize. But, I deemed it was not. It is a direct question. To me, it was not offensive. I am direct. Interpretation is different. Mine is different.
[HTC EVO 3D] jringo718:
I guess you truly are missing what people are saying, which is why would you even ask that question in the first place. Your response doesn't even make sense in relation to his question.

OP: "Hey guys, I've lost my desire to root because of this and that, anybody feel the same around here? Anyone not have that desire anymore?"

life64x: "Root or don't, do you really need a thread?"

Doesn't even make sense and needs no interpretation. You're just trying to save face now since a bunch of people called you out on it, including the OP himself lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] jbarajasp:
I don't root to flash anymore... I just take of the rediculous amount of crappy that HTC and Sprint adds
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
I don't need to save face. My question was do we really need a thread on this. "Do we really need a thread on this.". My response was in was if he lost his desire to root, then it is his choice....but again...do we need a thread on this? To me, it's the same as if somebody said on a thread here, "I just returned my 3vo", do we need a thread on what somebody does? The fact he lost his desire to root is his, I have lost it many times also and picked it back up. Honestly...do we really need something like this. " I lost my desire to listen to music loud", "I lost my desire root"...

It is the thread I questioned. What more do I need to say? I really don't get...if I am a jackass, or what ever else you desire...fine. But if I wrote a thread for all the moods with my phone...I would expect others to call me on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReinMaker:
lmao damage control

His question and thread are both legitimate. I see nothing wrong with some guy trying to gather some opinions on who roots and who has stopped and why. This is a general forum, stop getting *****y over what threads are needed and what threads aren't.

Bunch of children up in this place, jeez.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
When I wrote it, I did not see the impact of my post on others, and frankly don't care. Call it damage control or what ever. I said what I said. I need not any excuses. Or any more explaining. This is getting nowhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReinMaker:
lmao oh ****, getting *****y again.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
I getting to like you...:D...hehe..
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Okay. How about this reply instead...

I know what you mean. I to also lost me desire to root. How many flashes till you get it just right. Time that you cannot get back. At what price, more memory..faster scroll for a phone? A better looking notification screen? The desire to brag you I am using xyz rom and it screams! My data going into Mega gigabytes for downloads at 380 megs per dl? Where is the trade off for vanity and performance plus the precious time it takes for all those flashes? I know whatou mean. What color theme shall I use? Do I make my own superrom? I want transparent status bars, 1 and 3 g true icons. Why go thru all that hassle?

How that all, especially the OP............:)
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
There's lots of good information here. I just really need a phone due to child's medical issue and I can't pay full price if the phone gets bricked.

BTW, I've have different Androids over the past year and a half and have only meet one person who rooted there phone and he was a service rep. Most people don't have a clue what root is.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I root mine because I want proper access to my phone and files. Without root, you can't even make a proper backup. Case-n-point... yesterday I did the market updates and "Voice Caller ID" was one of the apps that updated. Afterward, I noticed that after every incoming call, the new version put an ad-nag on the notification bar that you'd have to clear every time: "this app is ad supported: buy the ad free version". Most annoying adware garbage I've ever encountered. I just uninstalled it and restored my 9 day old version via MyBackup Pro. Done. Reduced my rating for that app to 1 star and I won't update until they quit the upselling shenanigans.

But my point: saved again by MyBackup Pro. Root just makes life easier. Having said that, I have no real desire for any of the dozens of hacked up ROMs out there. I take the stock ROMs as they are posted here and use Bloat Freezer to kill what I don't want. I get great battery life and don't need to wipe every time. Even if I end up with a stray dingleberry or two due to not wiping, root, nandroid, and twrp save me from that too.

[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I could care less about all the crap some ROMs have, themes etc.

All I want is Hot Spot. Camera Panorama is nice, but you can get an app from Sony that actually works better without Root.

Allowing full backups is nice.

And 6 months from now I think ROMs will have features not available from sprint. It's still early. If you don't root now, you might not be able to later.

my first phone was samsung moment and i found "rooting" so i started to get addicted to it, then an evo 4g i root it, and i flashed roms so many times that the poor phone died( dont know why) so now i have a 3vo i rooted and i flashed a rom ,

but i end up having reboots every time, so i undo the rooting, now im gonna probably rooted again am addicted to it, having a phone w/o root its like having a box of candies and not able to open it:D
