[Atrix 4G General] BlackHawk6:
I just got my Atrix a few days ago and was having some problems so i updated to 2.3.4. Can this version be rooted? I have searched and cant find a straight yes or no answer.

Also does anyone know a good video on how to root? I switched to an iphone almost 2 years ago so im not up to date an everything.
[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
I am also looking for root for my stock ATT atrix. I don't fancy flashing this and that .

Gingerbreak is a no go so... alternatives?

Hello xda-developers.

So I have some bug or something on my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), it's called the sleep of death if I'm correct. Well I had a stock from (2.2.1 floyo) preloaded on my device and i heard that (2.3.3) should work better on my device so i upgraded it and noticed the screen of death and it kinda worries me what to do about it. I've tried also custom roms and they were pritty buggy so i installed some stocked floyo back on and upgraded via Kies to 2.3.3 but it seems the bug is back :S. It happend like 4-5x times today so I was woundering if any one had any fixes or and thing that might help?

Thanks for the replay.

Sorry for bad english and my first post btw :).

Sleep off death (SOD) is rare on a stock firmware

Tried to do a wipe data/factory reset?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Mariborcan:
I tried it on that first os when i got SOD but when the os is clean like installed it works great didn't get any problems... but when i install some programs when i turn the screen of it goes to a sleep and can't do any thing ... it's like its off but it rings if any one calls me, but it doesn't show when I turn it on that any one called me.

It's kinda annyoing when you try to do something on your phone (try calling some one) and the screen doesn't come on again...

I has woundering if there is any solution or any thing.

Sorry for bad english.

Anyone who's SoD just started recently, did you enable overscroll glow?

Because my SoD started right after enabling it.

When going back they are gone.

Solution for SOD caused by WiFi

I always had SODs with every ROM i tried (stock / updated stock / VillianROM / FirstUA)...

The solution for me was to install 'Advanced Wifi Lock'! I'm now using it with FirstUA 1.2 ROM for almost 2 weeks now without any SOD!

Search for it in the Market and see if it works for you!

@Hatshipuh : Then try this solution! I had the same problems! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Hatshipuh:
The problem for me is just the occurence of SoD when I have Wifi on and connected, and then e.g. walk out of range, so Wifi still on but not connected. Then it shuts off within 30min. I just have to not forget to turn Wifi off when I don't use it or no signal.

Still never had SoD while Wifi is connected though, no matter the display is turned on or not, so no need for Wifi Lock.

But that's only after enabling overscroll glow.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] turutk:
i have been sod free since i flashed to stock 2.3.3 kpn. its been 2 weeks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] alexzon:
I think it's interesting to let wifi turned on.

If there's an available network, the phone syncs and stuff. If there isn't, then it does nothing.

What does this Advanced Wifi Lock do?

I've noticed my phone just have the SoD when it lost the Wifi connection. It was happening with stock Rom as well. Now I'm using Glsmt.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] boycz90:

I had SOD like a 8 times for a week but i have not it anymore because i have flashed First UA Rom last week.Seems to be very very stable rom. Try it guys ;) very smooth and stable and also the speed is just amazing. :cool:

Try mp3tag to sort your tags and embed your art. Its a god send and its freeware. Not at pc or I'd ppst a few pics but its really quite simple. You can tag anything from a track to an album to several gigs worth. Convert filenames to tags or vice versa or tag from say a text file.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidMilitia:
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the ASTRO browser installed and 20 GB of files on the sdcard. Does anybody know of a search app that will enable me to search the entire sdcard quickly, as one would do with Google desktop or Copernic?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleblanc92:
Do you mean on the tab or from the PC?

If you talking about the Market app "Astro File Manager", it searches the SDCard very quickly from the tab. Give some more info and I'd bet you will get some better answers.

We where discussing the lack of drive-letter access in this thread, so searches from PC's are going to be limited to "if" the search tool can even access a Windows Media Device. I don't know of a way to do that....but some one will chime in if they do I'm sure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tghockey07:
There is a search magnifying glass in the toolbars in the Astro file manager?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidMilitia:
and

I'm referring to the Astro File Manager, and I'm interested in searching the sdcard from the tablet. Since my sdcard contains a synced copy of all of my desktop PC files, I have no need to search the tablet from the PC. If I'm sitting at my PC, I'll just search the PC. Astro searches the tablet, but not quickly. Astro takes about 1 minute to search my sdcard when I search through file names only, and the search returns no results when I use the "Find text in file" option, which is not helpful. I've been spoiled by Google, Copernic, and Windows 7 and now find waiting so long for a search that only checks file names to be retro in a bad way.

I'll give a practical example to supply more info about why I asked the question. Thanks to this thread I had my tablet with me (with all of my documents on the sdcard) at a meeting yesterday and somebody had a question about a file from two years ago. I couldn't remember which directory the file was in or what it was named, and was unable to track it down with the Astro search or by browsing. After about a minute of poking around, the moment had passed and we gave up and moved on to the next topic. I went back to my office and found the file in about 2 seconds on my desktop PC using the Copernic desktop search tool, which I think is awesome. I would like to be able to do the same thing with my tablet, i.e., have an indexed search engine for the sdcard on it. Had I found the file quickly at the meeting, we could have resolved the issue on the spot instead of putting it on the agenda for the next meeting.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sichroteph:
Trying to do a similar thing, i would be extremely interested by a solution too.

By curiosity, what program do you use for syncing purpose? SugarSync?

Edit : just see the thread you linked in your previous post. You can try sugarsync, seems very promising and easy, and 5go is enough to carry all my work.

I wonder if it exists another solution with our own server maybe?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidMilitia:
Sorry about the slow response. I tried SugarSync and it wasn't my thing. 5 GB of free space was not enough. 30 GB was $4.99 per month and I'm way too cheap and stubborn for that. Although price really isn't that much, I decided I would find a way to sync my files between two devices with no monthly free, period. Special thanks to the Samba developers for making that possible.

I read this article

Not even Qualcomm thinks dual-core is working out yet

According to that Ice Cream Sandwich is expected to fully support Dual core so those dual core phones really doesn't give the dual core performance? :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stretchwookie:
there IS a noticeable difference on the dual core phones for multi threaded apps, but those are few and far between. so for now, buying a dual core phone is like buying a 4g phone, youre future proofed against the changes, but nothing for now...

Yes that's true ^^

Now we don't need dual-core for the phone but this is useful for the future :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben_pyett:
I believe by the time the next generation of dual core possibly quad devices are released end of this year beginning of next, the software should be able to take advantage of the hard ware, lets just hope that batteries tech has come on enough to be able to support them

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:
When I purchase game in canada from the gameloft website, they send me a text telling me to txt to 60999 and 2.50 charge will apply. So I bought two games from them and they charged me 5$ last month. The company they use is txtnation. Com, this month I did not buy any game and they charged me another 12.50.... Now when I call gameloft about it they tell me they don't see the 12.50... And deny 60999 is their services.. Any insight on this anyone?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hairdewx:

Yea its gameloft website. It detects my phone and when I type in my phone number, it gives me the games I've bought before.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:
O and i called them, they confirmed that I bought two games from them but can't do anything about the other charges because their billing department is not live. I need to email their support department for that. Either way the guy on the phone denied 60999 is associated with them.... Even though that's the number they used to send me my games... And of course the person has records of those two transactions. So the website is 100%legit.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncaissie:
I never texted them or received a text. I just put my phone number and email and just download the games. If I want to redownload them I just go into my download section and that's it.

At first I had trouble when I downloaded my games again and didn't know about the my downloads section.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:
How do they charge you then? There's no such option for me. I use the stock android browser when buying the games.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcu1ture:

you can do it with credit card/debit and they send the download link to your phone.

Just got a trial version. and then it gave me an option to buy or cancel. I chose cancel and then the game downloaded and loaded up as if i pressed BUY and then i received a text. reads; txtNation. Thanks for your purchase. with a pin code and cost. with a website of sd.txtnation.com...

is my carrier being charged and it will show up on my next bill?? or what?

are there any additional charges?

cant find that option.

well i found it but it is not clickable.
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
The clear defaults button is grayed out on mine for YouTube, streaming media player, and internet browser. My only thought would be to uninstall and reinstall the youtube app. The link should come up tho, is it a specific video or it never gives you the option?
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:
Actually, I noticed they either launch directly in the youtube app as well, unless they're embedded in the webpage. Even then, clicking on "watch on YouTube" gives me two options, internet and YouTube. Clicking internet opens the youtube page, and clicking play there just opens up my YouTube app anyways. So I don't think you're missing much.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bamba1260:
You have to clear the defaults for whichever application automatically opens up when you click the link. You might have already checked that out, I just wanted to clarify in case.
[HTC EVO 3D] ranger61878:
I believe you would actually need to clear defaults for the browser, not the YouTube app as some have tried... If that doesn't work, as suggested, uninstalling and reinstalling YouTube will reset it also.

[Nook Color General] bloodwar:
There was a free App on that came out on the Amazon App store that i wanted but for some reason I would get an error message says my device was not compatible. So i went to the website and click on the free App, the site told me to go on my android device to start downloading it. Went back on the Amazon App store on my nook and it notified me there was an "Update". Click on it and the App auto installed and worked perfectly fine. :D
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
What app were you getting the error on and what ROM are you running? I have "bought" just about every free app Amazon has offered and I haven't seen any incompatibility checks yet. I am running CM7 recent nightlies. I always "buy" from the app not the web.

Any chance you are running rooted stock?
[Nook Color General] JeremyNT:
I've seen this before as well - peggle I think. Like the op says you can still "buy" the app from the web site even if your device is blacklisted.
[Nook Color General] caramelzappa:
Bought Peggle from the site, but still doesn't show up on the app, as far as I can tell there's no way to download it. Shame.

EDIT: The app store first told me the game was incompatable and wouldn't download, but then a few minutes later it asked me to install it. Works great.
[Nook Color General] bloodwar:
I'm using manualnooter
[Nook Color General] DiDGR8:
That probably explains a lot of your problem. IIRC, Amazon's compatibility check is based mostly on the version of the OS you're running. You've probably been running into apps that the developer wrote for Gingerbread instead of your Froyo. That's not to say they don't work (mostly) on Froyo, just that the developer either didn't /couldn't test his app on Froyo or knows of some small bugs associated with Froyo.

As you've discovered, it is possible to circumvent the compatibility check and run the app. Just don't be surprised if the developer chooses to not support the app on your Nook if you run into problems down the line.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backfromthestorm:
I'm sorry if this had been mentioned before but I couldn't find anything, and I didn't wanna see people go through the risk of flashing radios if this is the case.. 'this' being ===

I've opened up the first five or six radios on the desire stock radio thread, and all the zips have exactly the same radio.img inside. The MD5 check sums are all the same. Is this actually the case or does MD5 not work on.img files? (I doubt that).

The files also have the same date and are the same size. I guess this means there is no point people flashing radios (or at least the newest five).

So, it seems they have exactly the same radios, just labelled differently. Or am I being extremely thick?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaper7881:
But wouldn't that mean the basband version in settings / about phone shouldn't change at all when u flash the radio
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backfromthestorm:
Very true, maybe md5's only skim the surface then, and small changes aren't picked up? But they all have the same date of modification too.. Somethings definatly a bit strange here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
I've just had a look at the first three and one is 11560kb while one is 11559kb. This seems correct as they're always going to be roughly the same size anyway. As for the .md5 where are you getting the checksum from? I've checked each one and they're all different.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backfromthestorm:
The metadata is different, so that's why the sizes are different... Open all the zips, then md5 all the radio.img's... It's the actual radio.img that's the same in each one!
[Blade General] slashdotted:
Hello,

when I plug-in my headphones (3.5" jack, 3pin TRS connector, no microphone) the phone thinks they have a mic and the built-in microphone is disabled and I cannot make calls (I could, but the other person would not hear my voice).

I did check with ddms and I've noticed that android does not detect any differences between TRS 3-pin connectors (w/o mic) and TRRS 4-pin ones (w/mic, like the one that ships with the phone):

08-12 17:58:59.340: VERBOSE/HeadsetObserver(531): Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG: state: 1 name: Headset mic: 1

so I though it could be a hardware limitation/issue or a kernel one. The status icon (Gingerbread 2.3.4) always shows a headset with a tiny mic, whether I connect a headset with mic or just standard headphones.

My question is: does this problem appear only on my blade (i.e. is my blade broken?) or is it a "general" issue present in all blades?

thank you for your help :)
[Blade General] myxal:
It's not just your Blade. I'm running stock 2.2 (got it today) and while there's no mic on the icon, the phone always disables the built-in mic even when I plug in regular headphones. Sound recorder and voice calls are both affected.

Have you found a workaround? I'd be OK without detection if the phone always assumed the attached headset doesn't have a mic and keeps the built-in one enabled.
[Blade General] bx19:
Same here. Im on CM7 and even if i plug in the 3.5mm (3pin) headphones, the phone mic gets disabled and in the status bar i can see the icon of headset (no matter when i use headset or headphones).

Keeping this aside, i had a more worst problem. If i plugin any headphones or headset other than the stock one provided with phone, they wont fit in the socket correctly. Even if i push them tightly into the socket (and left) , they will come out by 1 or 2 mm making the headphones unusable (what happens is only one ear phone works). And both earphones work as long as i keep it pressed and held tightly into the socket. But i cant hold it all the time i was hearing to the music right...? WTF... And i figured out why this happens. This is due to the back cover which was designed foolishly. The back cover of phone has a tiny hole for headset jack which prevents the other 3.5mm headphones to completely enter into it (this is sure in my case). If i remove the back cover and plugin 3.5 headphones they will be fit completely without any problem (even though here i cant use the phone mic). Another foolish design of the back cover is the exposure of the power switch making it more vulnerable to damage.

I had an idea to cut out the extra plastic thing at the headset hole of back cover to make it usable with 3.5mm headphones, but i fear i would loose warranty. Will i loose the warranty if i do so..?

After watching all these i think the headset jack of our phone is not correct. It might be having difference in the connector lengths. Don't wanna blame the rom/kernel for this. After all those were just my opinions.
[Blade General] NTpspE:
Exactly the same happens on my blade using default 2.1 rom that came with the phone.

As for the above post, perhaps you should see if you can get a new back cover? Its only yours having that issue
[Blade General] court-jus:
Jack connector problem

I have exactly the same problem with some jacks but not all (my headset from Nokia fits in well, a retractable jack I've bought for my car fits almost well (it never drops by itself but if you touch it to much, it does)).

The biggest problem I have is that some applications ("music" and "listen") start playing when the faulty contact happens, even if I was listening for music in another application (jamendo) this is really a pain because jamendo keeps playing music and a podcast starts to play in "listen". Is there a way to tell those applications not to react to the headset being plugged/unplugged ? (I guess the faulty contact may be acting like a remote control press or something...)

Thanks for your ideas
