[Atrix 4G Accessories] mjharris65:
OSNPA, are you suggesting that it would be better to keep an unwitting Atrix user in the dark, letting him or her purchase a used lapdock for around $35 more than the cost of an "officially" used lapdock, just so the seller will not be offended?

It's called market competition. An informed consumer living in the U. S. with the opportunity to purchase a refurbished dock from ATT would never pay more and wait longer for one unless he or she were doing the seller a favor.

To put it simply, if the seller intends to sell this dock to an ATT customer, he or she will have to lower the price or take advantage of someone's ignorance. In my opinion, it would be bad form to keep a consumer in the dark and just sit back and snicker as you watch a transaction (or in this case, a rip off) transpire. But hey, at least the seller didn't get his feelings hurt AND he made more than what he should have.

Fortunately for the seller, not everyone has access to a refurbished lapdock, specifically our friends overseas, and $200 is quite a bargain in that market. I think everyone has a chance to win in this situation, and to me, it seems like bad form to try and prevent this ideal scenario -- one in which no one feels cheated.

I don't mean to attack you, OSNPA, but I'm trying to understand what you have to gain by trying to foster a market on these forums in which the lapdock is kept at an artificially high price. Are you trying to sell one yourself? Anything to help me understand where you're coming from would be much appreciated.

To the seller, I think you will have no problem selling the dock for $200. (I would not have started so low.)

To anyone who does not have access to a refurbished lapdock, this price is almost impossible to beat.

Refurbished means it was broke...that means it will eventually break or have problems. mine looks like its from the assembly line.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] bleuiko:
That's actually not true. Refurbished is anything that has been brought back to factory specifications and tested to be working. Yes, some of these are broken units that have been repaired, but MANY others are just returned within the 30-day return period, especially for a once $400+ item like the lapdock. Mine also looks like its from the assembly line. More knowledge here: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/buy-refurbished-phones.jsp

I'm sure yours looks great though so happy selling!
[Atrix 4G Accessories] OSNPA:
Well, if customers are uninformed on the price of refurbished lapdocks when there's a thread dedicated to it in this very sub-forum, well I have no pity for them. It's a consumer's responsibility to educate themselves. He's not selling a refubished unit, it is not the same situation, so the prices should have no bearing on what the OP asks. Regardless of whether money is involved, think of it this way: a developer releases a ROM and the 1st response to that thread is another developer saying that he also released a ROM and go to this other thread to read all about it. You may like that idea, I don't know, to me it's a wtf moment.

Disclaimers: I don't know anyone in this thread, I am not selling or buying a lapdock, no animals were harmed in the making of this post, and I am not responsible for you bricking your phone. I just ask the opposite question as you: why is the OP not allowed to sell his lapdock for whatever the market pays?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] capercb:
whew...so getting back to the lapdock will you ship to canada;) Hey dude get what you can for it..cheapest here in Canada that i can find is $300 +
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mafisometal:
I can ship to canada, you just have to tell me how you want to do the deal...pop me an email and tell me what you'd like to do?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
I was just curious. I kind of don't want to go back to stock ROM because its backed up on my computer. Also, it wad becoming unstable so now I'm on Virtuous. I rather get a ROM thats based off that release because of the TV out cable. I hope there will be
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalatorisaurus:
Yes. There will be at least one rooted stock ROM. However, most other ROMs will be customized ROMs that utilize the new Gingerbread kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'd like to point out the kernel source may be for a kernel that only works with the OTA. That's how its been with the Tbolt. Not so bad because it would spawn a whole new generation of much improved gingerbread ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
Thats all I wanted to know :) seeing how they got gingerbread roms from devices like the HTC Sensation, I don't think it'll take that long to get a custom ROM cooked up haha! As long as there will be roms based off it, I'll be happy :) hopefully they'll have custom themes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilliduck:
Nope, absolutely no developer will create a custom rom from this new official rom that's coming out. They haven't done it in the past, why would they start making new custom roms based off of official OTA roms?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] withbloodskies:
Being on a custom rom rooted will we be able to update to stock?

Or will something go dearly wrong if we try?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiboe:
okay, so, for us rom users who don't want to go back to stock.

do we have to flash stock back onto the device?, to get the update? or just wait for a custom kernal

and how does one flash the radio without bricking the phone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiboe:
devs play with the source code kernal and work from there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
You will lose root if you update to stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithrewitontheground:
Someone will release a rooted version of the ROM which you can use, or just wait for your developer to update their ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
No. That update won't be supported. Everyones gonna stop devving the day before its released. :P Just kidding lol.

Sent from my Droid Incredible running a random CM7 nightly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
I'll wait for a rooted version to release. But if custom roms like Virtuous, Skyraider, or Incrom update, I'll do that :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoomy942:
I'm personally going to wait until there is a root method. I'll unroot my stock froyo. update. root the update, adb shell and remove the vzw crap and install whatever new kernel has been created from the source code. best way to ensure everything works 100%
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiboe:
skyraider won't see the update, i doubt it, the dev of that rom already moved on to the t-bolt.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiboe:
if you can root the update, no one knows for sure if unrevoked or any method will work, let us know if it does or not!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinNjoose:
I'm on 2.2 rooted using unrevoked3 - such a easy process. From what I have been reading, it's not as simple in reverse. I really want 2.3 for the VoIP capabilities and improved keyboard but I'm afraid to brick my phone unrooting it. Also, I live off of WiFi tether for root users and I don't know how long I could wait for another unrevoked or similar to give root on 2.3 so that I can reinstall the app.

So I'm assuming I should just wait for a custom ROM like most everyone else. Is it hard to flash a custom ROM? More or less difficult than the painless 1-click root?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Probably not quite as painless as unrevoked, but certainly not difficult either. Rom manager actually makes rom flashing pretty simple but seems buggy for a lot of people. I'd wait for the rooted OTA to be posted and flash that. Might want to do a little reading on flashing roms and root in general, there are some good stickies in the incredible forums.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedillinger:
Can I use the root method even on a custom sense ROM?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'm not wanting to insult you, honestly, but that question reflects a deep lack of knowledge. But, you're at XDA and that's the best place to fix that!

I'll answer your question....

Nobody could probably tell you because nobody has ever tried rooting a custom ROM before.

That said, do some searching and some reading and get familiar with what this community is all about. You will be amazed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinNjoose:
So I flashed the 2.3.4 GB Rom posted by JoelZ yesterday. Some stuff looks diferent but not a whole lot. Was I wrong to expect the newer style keyboard, lockscreen and notification bar? Nevertheless, it boots wicked quick and feels faster.

[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Howdy all.

I was looking today to transfer an apk to my friend but unfortunately I don't know where they are stored. I tried to send him Linda file manager through the Share this app via the Market but you actually need data for that option. So I was considering to locate the corresponding .apk and transfer it via Bluetooth but no luck.

Can we do it this way?

TIA

I want to try a new rom and kernel. I either want to stick to sense (not 3.0) or CM7. I'm not too fancied by MIUI. I need it to be a daily driver (all working features) and be able to get through the day on moderate use.

Question one: Which sense Rom has the best features and battery life?

Question two: Which sense kernel is the best for life AND performance?

Question three: How do I get the most battery life (preferably a day max) out of CM7?

Edit:

I can get a days worth of battery life with stock kernel and stock Rom (removed bloatware).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahlzahn:
What? Kinda confused
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Fastboot is in this case not the part of android sdk, it's a type to boot faster. With power off you really sit down your phone. With hibernate, you set your phone to a state, in which it does not consume any power. But it's not really off. So if you start your phone then, it will boot faster.

first flashed 2.2.1 from 2.1 and card was not being read.... so then i full wiped and reflashed 2.2.1... same thing. SD card is not being read by the phone.

I tried pulling it out and putting back in, doesn't help.

CWM recovery reads it and so does my old lg dare.... so the card is fine..... what should i do? may be partition the card? I am lost.... it seems as if it is the problem with the ROM, but no one else seems to have that problem and i can't post in developers section due to being a new member, i would love to ask this question in the actual ROM thread. (mods wink wink)

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: When i put the cd card is it goes "preparing cd card" then "cd card unmounted". it also reads when sd card is removed.

AND another cd card works just fine.... it just doesnt have all the files on it. Seems as if the ROM just doesnt want the old card, it doesn't recognize it.... while in recovery it recognizes.
[HTC Sensation] Kliment:
help me out guys.... what should i do?

Ok I just had this same problem but with MDJs rom. I messed around with the phone all night last night and just gave up. I re installed a rom that was working (aka phone and text) and left it for the day at work. I got home this afternoon and did a full wipe and then factory restore. then fixed permissions and installed the newest version of virtuous rom (1.1.0) I booted and put all my info in for my google account and still did not have a SD card. So I rebooted and wouldnt you know it....an SD card!

I hope this helps and good luck

Bro honestly it didnt.... But thanks for the info anyways lol :)
[Galaxy S II General] cherni:
Hi all,

Yesterday I stayed till 3 AM trying to flash the new firmware to my 9100, but KIES was so unstable that I decided to re-install.

We all know if we simply install Kies under XP, there is an issue with an Android MTP driver failing to install. No matter what you do, it won't install. This is the driver that Kies requires to work in order to sync contents and flash new firmwares.

After trying different options and settings, the solution is quite simple. Follow the steps (XP tested):

1.- Remove Kies entirely.

2.- Remove Samsung USB Drivers

3.- Reboot.

4.- Install latests .NET framework.

5.- Download and install latest Windows Media Player (ver 11 for XP). This is the key, since it installs a User mode driver framework used by Kies.

6.- Reboot

7.- Download and install latest Kies. Reboot.

6.- Plug in your phone. It will detect everything.

8.- Start Kies.

This should make it.

Hope it helps!

Cherni.
[Galaxy S II General] ramblog:
I had Rooted and Custom ROM-ed with AOSP GingerMOD.

Then when connected to PC via cable, W7 failed to install MTP driver.

Heres what worked.

Turn off USB Debugging on the phone. Reconnect via USB storage mode.

Voila!

Am not using Samsung Kies. so dont know whether it will work with the same trick.
[Galaxy S II General] ro-mann:
What if you have XP?
[Galaxy S II General] eitama:
He said version 11 for xp lol.

BTW, for those of you with windows 7 enterprise N - The "N" means no multimedia drivers, so media player would not be enough.

You need to download some 300+MB package which I don't remember the name. :) and then media player.

[Galaxy S II General] mandricus:
Hi, were you able to solve? I'm stuck at the same point, tried almost everything and i'm still getting the MFT driver error with my Galaxy S 2.

OS is WinXP 32bit, I tried before with Kies version 2.0.3.11082_152_2, then yesterday with 2.0.3.11082_152_4, no luck.

I tried the suggested Windows Media Player 11 procedure, i did the whole process as written in the 1st post (installed .net 4, then WMP11, then reboot, then Kies, then reboot again) and it didn't worked.

Before that i tried with USB debugging mode, i tried following what Kies says (connect device, got the error, disconnect the device then go to "tool -> the crap that should be supposed to repair drivers but that truly does nothing", then reconnect the device just to get the error again), I tried a tool i found somewhere on the internet while reading HUNDREDS of pages of users having the same error (Samsung engineers, that means that you really SUCK!) "FileSearcherforKiesFix" to find files with long extension on my SD, deleted some files (was only some thumbnails), NOPE, still getting the same F****n' error :)

So, were you able to solve in some way this error? How?

Thank you for your help, and sorry for my english (i'm Italian).
[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
and if that doesn't work...try a different USB port on your computer. I have found that only one of the 4 on my t410 thinkpad plays nicely with the samsung usb drivers...

having said that, i have sworn off kies entirely and will only use Odin,
[Galaxy S II General] BeeDoubble:
I'm on the Galaxy SII and was having similar problems. Went to the samsung website, DLed the USB driver, then to get the MTP to work: Turn off Debugging, go into "wireless and network", then into USB Utilities, unplug usb, click connect to PC, then plugged it back in, and bingo, we have a winner.

I didn't read the entire thread to see if this method was already posted, to f'ing tired!

Hopes this helps.

edit: looks like Kragusk did a similar (exactly the same?) install. So yeah, what he said....
[Galaxy S II General] pjclark1:
the fix

This fix for windows XP was discovered by a chap named Dennis.

The problem is caused by some drivers from WMP11 failing to install correctly.

(WMP11 contains the MTP drivers, nothing to do with Samsung or USB drivers)

You just need to re/install them

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\wudfrd.sys xxx_wudfrd.sys

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\wudfpf.sys xxx_wudfpf.sys

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfhost.exe xxx_wudfhost.exe

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfsvc.dll xxx_wudfsvc.dll

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfx.dll xxx_wudfx.dll

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfplatform.dll xxx_wudfplatform.dll

rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfcoinstaller.dll xxx_wudfcoinstaller.dll

Then run this file (umdf.exe) found inside the windows media player 11 install

(Hint: download then open in winrar to find the file)

Sorry as a new person I can't post a hotlink to a file.

[Galaxy S II General] mookan:
Not sure if the solution really is in here. I have tried it all and MTP driver still fails. My SGS2 does not work with MTP either on WinXP or Win7 x64, but the SGS2 that my gf has works flawlessly when connected in MTP mode. So this would suggest something also has to be solved within the actual phone, not just the computer since hers work and not mine. We run the same version, cf-rooted stock XWLPG but hers is more "clean" than mine since I try a bunch of stuff on mine and have JKay mod flashed etc.

So any ideas?

Edit: btw... USB storage mode works for me on WinXP but not on Win7 x64.
[Galaxy S II General] mookan:
After searching a bit more the only other thing I found (not tested yet) is that logging in to your Google account after factory reset somehow can disrupt the MTP installation. So one solution could be to do a factory reset and not logging in the first thing you do, but to wait and then add the account and log in. Anyone tried this?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] EngineerMind:
Note - this tip is ONLY applicable when booting android from your SD card (because that means WM is running first).

I had problems getting Tytungs excellent SD version to bootup the first time after installing it on a friends HD2. No matter what SD card I used, how I formatted it or anything - the green HTC logo would just hang there.

Then I found out the problem - it was a WM app that was configured to run every 1-2 minutes IN Windows mobile. Apparently, if you have a WM app that is scheduled to run very often (in this case it was a GPS logging app), it appears it can prevent android from booting if the WM scheduled app is triggered to run BEFORE android has a chance to fully boot up. It seems that once Android boots up fully (after the "SD card is initialized"), any WM scheduled event is then properly ignored.

So, if you are having any troubles with Android not fully booting up, jusy make sure you don't have any WM apps scheduled to "trigger" in the 1-2 minute window that it takes to fully bootup android.

Hope this helps someone.
