There's a Google Video app?! An Android app to browse Google Videos?

I thought Google was getting rid of their Video section :confused:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
It is an app to buy/view videos from the market and to play videos stored on the phone.
[HTC Wildfire S] PaKi_BGW:
I read very good thread about rooting my phone, and I am stucked on a first step.

Cant enter hboot menu with volume down + power. how is that possible?

My phone is s-off.
[HTC Wildfire S] uhhman:
probably you have not disabled the "fast boot" option.

To do so you need to go into the settings, select " battery" and then uncheck the option " fast boot"..switch off, and try again..should work..
[HTC Wildfire S] Chapi666:
I was like you : enable to enter in boot menu.

That was because I was doing the wrong manipulation.

To enter to this boot menu, power off your phone, remove a few seconds you battery, plug it again.

Then, press Vol-. Hold it. Press power button during 1 second, always press Vol-. And release Vol- when boot menu appears.

If it doesn't work, remove your battery and try a new attempt.

You'll probably need to practice a little.
[HTC Wildfire S] PaKi_BGW:
It helped. Now I have rooted Wildfire S :D

Any recommendation for custom rom?
[HTC Wildfire S] Butcher696:
I have HTC Wildfire S from Orange branded 2.3.5 and trayed all and can enter H-Boot - nothing many times use pull battery then Vol- + Power - many combinations also ,enabled or disabled Fast Boot in option and nothing always boot Normal to Android

Hi,

I just bought a new WP7 LG optimus E900, but i don't know how can i install cracked apps like Iphone or android mobiles have, because till now i was using both of these phones but i just wanted to try WP7, so if anyone can help me and guide me how to install cracked apps.

hope on your help

p.s my lg is factory unlocked (works with every operator)
[Optimus 7 General] PaulMdx:
What kind of apps are you talking about?
[Optimus 7 General] Hodafone11:
i meant not just free apps which are in marketplace but even the apps that costs in marketplace (same like installus or cydia in Iphone).

thnx in advance

Don't be such a tight a*s and put your hand in your pocket - it's not as if apps cost the earth!
[Optimus 7 General] PaulMdx:
To expand on ineedtoys' point..

XDA sometimes shows things that might not be 100% in adherence to the provider of the phone/OS. This is done to further functionality and support of the phone. It does not involve ripping off other people's work.

In fact, by ripping off paid-for software, whether using information from here or not, you're actually doing XDA Developers harm. If Microsoft see the XDA community as a threat of piracy they will invest more time in securing the OS and probably litigation.

So to conclude:

"Don't be such a tight a*s and put your hand in your pocket - it's not as if apps cost the earth!"
[Optimus 7 General] s4cr3d:

[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
So I noticed this when I bought my tablet and tried to disregard it but after 2 weeks its starting bother me. I'm pretty sure its a dead pixel and trying to decide if I should bring it back to office depot and ask for a new tablet. What do you guys think? I posted two pictures to show what I'm seeing. On the first picture, its right by the N in education. I know, probably seems picky but when I'm on a white page, its pretty noticeable.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Well, if it bothers you then you should return the tablet and get one that doesn't bother you, simple as that. I also have a stuck pixel on mine, but it doesn't bother me at all and thus I won't be returning mine.
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
a white pixel (stuck on) I would definitely return.

I have two miscolored pixels on mine that chose to not care about. It's common with TFT screens..
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
You can fix it........unless its a grey or a black dead pixel......massage it hard and try to move it towards the nearest side the effect is not instantaneous.......use an app called pixel fixer.....leave ur tab on charging while using that app......do both the methods and it would be gone in a week.....(worked for my phone)....
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
That's a horrible recommendation for an LCD that sits behind a gorilla glass touch screen. Unless you tell him to take the gorilla glass digitizer first he'll be risking breaking the digitizer before he ever gets close to the lcd!
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Rubbing the screen doesn't work on devices with real glass displays, especially not gorilla glass. That method only works on displays where the glass is flexible or malleable (like computer lcd monitors or earlier/older phones).

To the OP:

If you're brave you COULD attempt some very gentle finger taps right above the area. I suggest trying to find a software fix though. If you try and try and it still sticks, then go ahead and return. I couldn't deal with that on my screen either.
[Acer Iconia A500] goodintentions:
Exchange it for another one NOW. You paid for it. You should have nothing less than a good screen with no stuck pixel.
[Acer Iconia A500] strider_mt2k:
Sorry to read this.

I'm the guy who's windshield and glasses are never clean enough, so a dead or wonky pixel would drive me nuts.
[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
Thanks for the suggestions but I ended up just taking it back. Like a few of you said, I paid for it so I expect it all to work right. They took it back no questions asked. All is well in the new one :)

[Nexus S General] djgerbavore:
Bootloader version: I9020XXKA3

Baseband version: I9020XXKD1

Build number: GRJ22

Android version: 2.3.4

When i go into Settings in Android the IMEI number is unknown.

I'm trying to revert back to the Stock ROM, but i'm having problems, because when I try and boot in recovery, I get an error from the boatloader saying no boot or recovery img found.

is there a way to flash a full rom with fastboot? Or why can't I boot into recovery anymore?
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
If you don't have a copy of your EFS folder you are out of luck.

Besides that restoring an IMEI is mostlikely a punishable crime in your country (changing is in almost every country, restoring in most).
[Nexus S General] djgerbavore:
I'm trying to restore from stock via the one_click_method, but it fails trying to write the radio partition.

>$ fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img

sending 'radio' (15232 KB)... OKAY

writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: Write Fail)

So I tried to erase the radio partition but I get this error:

>$ fastboot-mac erase radio

erasing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: No Allowance on This Partition)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks,
[Nexus S General] djgerbavore:
@rentaric, I don't understand? Isn't the IMEI number just a number burned into the hardware like a mac address?

I thought maybe I flash the wrong radio or something and that is why the IMEI isn't showing up.

Well that's strange if I can't ever have a IMEI number...
[Nexus S General] Deleted member 3572053:
You can have it jtag which will restore the imei. There's a guy on YouTube who does it many times. Mobile tech videos is the channel name.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Yes and no, it's what identifies your phone. Eg a criminal fakes your phone's IMEI, police gets hold of the criminal's IMEI, which is basically yours, checks with carriers who is the owner of that IMEI, you are in trouble initially. To prevent ppl from doing that in the first place it is illegal to change the IMEI of your device, some countries added more strict laws on top and also don't allow restoring of (your own) IMEI.

Also carrier blacklist phones via the IMEI, eg if the phone was stolen.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmok82:
Hi, I made a guide to root and use/access to usb-host on Xoom MZ601 for new OTA 3.1. But I don't have enough post to write it in the proper section; so excuse me if I take a little of this space, but you can always move it to the proper one, if deemed necessary.

My complete guide is accessible on my blog creativityslashdesign.tk, following I carry a small selection to explain how to use the usb-host.

The requirements for using on a Xomm Z601 the usb-host are:

- Root Explorer;

- BusyBox;

- Mount Drive;

All are downloadable from the market, the last two also free. The first will allow us to access the folder /mnt/sda1 (usually /mnt/sdax) where it will be mounted our hard drives, whereas third will allow to choice the device we're going to mount. Both require root permissions and from test Drive Mount is very stable.

Whenever we want to mount a device only start Mount Drive and following the simple controls on the mount, then through the Root Explorer browse to /mnt and choose the device mounted above.

Of course the solution could be improved, but for now is sufficient.

That is, a good start ... ;)

The rest of the guide is accessible on my blog, in addition you will find information on rooting, already present on another post on the XDA forums.
[HTC EVO 3D] pgeist:
If this thread is in the wrong section I apologize.

I have the EVO 3D and have the same trouble that I had with the EVO 4G until I started using CM7.

The A2DP bitpool is either set too low or something, but the audio crackles on 90% of music.

Is there any progress being made on this or is there an easy way to increase the bitpool?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] DomSim:
Wrong section, this is the dev section not request section. That being said, I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately the bluetooth stack used by HTC is know for these issues. Cyanogenmod will fix this but not sure if it is fixable with sense based roms or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] lufc:
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum

Please Post in the Correct Forums

[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Yeah, this issue is in all sense based roms. The bitpool ist set to 32 by default, which causes the audio sounds like crap via bluetooth.

The only way to fix this is to compile a new kernel with some higher bitpool.

Just downlaoded the kernel source but didn't find the file/function where the bitpool is set yet =/
[HTC EVO 3D] Pyr0x64:
+1

Would love better BT audio, I use BT headphones daily
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Good news, contacted HTC and they decided to add this to their bug list and will contact me when it gets fixed.

Hello Folks,

So the GumDrop Drop Series case for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is currently in preorder status on GumDrops website but I recieved a response from them indicating that the cases will be in stock on August 25.

Wanted to let everybody know who is interested in a Rugged type case for the Galaxy Tab and is shaping up to be one of the better rugged cases but were hesitate how long they would be waiting in preorder status....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] iTouch24:
$60 bucks is expensive though, wish there was a flap for screen
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
Yeah, but I guess a positive is that the price includes a integrated screen protector which can be snapped out and replaced or not used at all for ppl that may not like screen protectors or already have one installed.

That and the similar style otterbox for the iPad 2 and Xoom is around $89.00

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] akarol:
Yeah, that is pretty hideous.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
On the GumDrop website it just says "Late September" so not sure on the exact date.

It looks like both the regular and the military style have been delayed a bit so I hope it isnt pushed back again.

Also, I wish they would have gone with a Coyote Brown style for the military color as they would look extremely cool as opposed to the "Nickelodeon Slime Green" for the current military version.....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] got556:
Agree...a flat dark earth or coyote would have looked better. Or multicam lol. Just hope they start shipping soon. Dont feel like putting too much wear and tear on the tab yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rype89:
That case sure looks like it'll add quite a bit of bulk and weight to the tab. I'm still considering between using a case and caseless.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] 5thElement:
Are these cases for children? Looks like it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MrSewerPickle:
They are for anyone that might drop their tab on a hard surface from 2 or more feet up.

If that includes children, then I guess you could say that.

BTW, the Black color one is now shipping with the other colors coming in September 30th.

I ordered yesterday and will post a review for all the children of the world to read when it comes in.

there seems to be something funky going on. this is my second tab and the first one didn't do this. when i power and volume down the image blinks by so fast it doesn't give me a chance to get into downloading mode. it's almost like it's rigged not to let me get in downloading mode. i just got the second one last night. i have searched and one other person has confirmed the same problem but no answers.. help plz
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 05GT:
When that happens, release both buttons and immediately press them and hold. That's what my Tab has begun to do.

Hold the power and volume. Once you see the icons flash on the screen release and quickly hold them down again. You should then be presented with the recovery and downloading icons again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] droidrev71:
i will give it a go.. i have held down both buttons and cycled throught like three times.. i will try with the release and re-press..

I'm currently on stock rom with it rooted. I wanted to know if i do a back-up of a fresh install of the stock rom and I start to delete files off my phone. If I happen to delete the wrong file, can I restore with the back-up, will those delete files be there again?
[HTC Sensation] {ParanoiA}:
If you have a custom recovery installed that supports backups then create a backup with it and delete whatever you are trying to. If **** gets bad then just use the recovery option to restore and you should be back to where you started
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Did you do a Nandroid backup, through CWM, or a Titanium type backup ?

A nandroid one will restore the phone to the point in time of the backup. Any changes since it will be lost during restore.

Titanium, or similar, will allow a finer granuality of files/apps/data..

If you play at swapping ROMs and want to revert a nandroid backup is a MUST.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Kernel backup?

This may be a strange question. I just got a T Mobile Sensation yesterday and already rooted, s-off, and did a Nandroid Backup. I previously had a Samsung Captivate and flashed it all the time. This is my second Android device and first HTC device, on the Captivate Nandroid only backed up the ROM without touching the kernel making flashing back and forth between ROMS a PITA. Is the same true with HTC Sensation, will Nandroid also backup the kernel?

Please don't flame me, I used search and found this thread so I am attempting to find answers without starting new threads on topics already discussed.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mbtmn:
Does that mean that with a Vodafone NL branded phone (no RUU available for download at this moment), I can S-Off, Root and use nandroid backup to create an image I can always return to?

I want to get rid of the VF crapware as well as the quicker updates. In other words: a stock HTC (not vodafone) ROM.

In case of a hardware defect (unrelated to flashing other ROMs*), I want to be able to get back to VF branded, so the guys at HTC (who know what S/N belongs to Vodafone) won't see anything weird.

Thanks

*: If I mess up, I am willing to pay for it. But if it's unrelated, I don't want HTC to be able to start whining about software changes by me.

Hi, I downgraded my phone from 2.2 to 2.1 today, and now im going to root. The problem is when I launch step2-windows.bat I got "failed to copy rootedupdate.zip".

And I guess rootedupdate.zip is the file that give me root/administrator rights? Anyway, I put the file into the sdcard manually and launch recovery mode.

In Android System Recovery I choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and I cant find the rootedupdate.zip file there, but I can find other zipfiles.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klk450:
How long after the Nexus S was released did the Nexus 1 get the GB OTA?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Officially? I think it was around April (Nexus S got it in December), but there were some serious issues with the early revisions of Gingerbread, and I think that is why it was delayed. But the code was pushed out to AOSP shortly after the NS was released, so there were alpha builds of CyanogenMod based on the Gingerbread code before the end of the year.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Although just so you know I wouldn't base myself on those numbers for guessing how long it will take for the NS, N1, to get ice cream sandwich after the nexus prime is released with it on board because like bassmadrigal said there were allot of compatibility issues. And that came from gingerbread being half cooked when they pushed it out because they were working on honeycomb at the same time and that took allot of work because they had to go some what from the ground up. Plus with ice cream sandwich it's made to bring all the code together to make it work easier on all the devices and reduce fragmentation so my guess we should get ICS shortly after the nexus prime does.
