hey fellas. currently running ubuntu linux on a dell vostro and also on vmware on my macbook. set up superoneclick using these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8699742&postcount=537.

My motorola droid 2.2.2 will not get rooted by this. SOC says "waiting for device" for eternity. If i unplug the usb and reinsert it will ask if os version is above 2.0 to which I reply yes. it then says that it is "getting manufacturer." again it will hang there forever until i unplug again. at which point it fails saying "Write fault on path /home/xavier/[Unknown]" I'm not sure what i'm missing here. I had a lot of trouble getting this set up to even run. On both machines I have the same error, although on vmware it actually freezes the SOC program. Ive tried every type of usb voodoo. pluggin unplugging, powering on and off etc. it just doesnt work. any suuggestions? thanks all!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] malinowskiski:
What are your motives behind rooting? I tried using SuperOneClick before to root but it didn't work for me and I also tried rooting through a zImage in ODIN and it went buggy. In the end, I wanted to have a custom ROM and Kernel anyways and found that it was pretty obvious to just ODIN a custom kernel that came with superuser/root. Many kernels and ROMs have superuser/root access, so if your goal is to eventually flash then you might as well just straight up ODIN a kernel with root. I suppose it isn't as safe as rooting and installing CWM Recovery first, but I found I had absolutely no problems when I did a kernel only through ODIN.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linklight:
Hey everybody. I am sure this issue has happened before and there is probably a current post about this exact problem but I wasn't able to find anything. I attempted to install ClockworkMod and something happened. I hit a wrong button or something. Now whenever I try to boot into cwm the boot screen just hangs there and booting recovery kernel image is the only thing that displays with the dumb parrots.

Any ideas what I should do? Thanks in advance!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joseph.fox:
If you cannot get to CWM by hitting the power AND + button, then I suspect your next step will be to try the NVflash method as described on GoodIntentions (his username) site called "G Tablet for Dummies". Google it and it's one of the first (if not first) results.

It might look intimidating at first (at least for me), but following it step by step turns out to be pretty easy.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linklight:
It was actually super easy to do and it fixed the issue. The issue was bootloader 1.2 after I did some research, I figured out that my G-tab (after getting RMA'd) came back with the newest TnT and that's what the issue was. Thanks a ton for the info and I appreciate the response!

Interesting that I never noticed this before but I got a No Access Control message when I start Wireless tether.

"Sorry but your kernal does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled."

Anyone else see that message.

OK - so I got it to work - it turns out that some windows 7 drivers are buggy as hell - especially for the intel wireless network cards - I installed a different driver (a generic one as opposed to the actual driver for my wifi card) and tethering now works.

Doesn't wifi tether for root have an infrastructure mode option? I thought it did.

[HTC Sensation] invisiblebm:
Hi. I just bought my sensation, before that I wass using hd2 with android. My question is: is it working current widget on sensation? It shows me 100 ma + always. With previous ROM I got 3 ma in stand by. I see that something is wrong, because my battery shows long time 100% and after is going fast down.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Hi,

I've been trying to see what's happening as well. It's all a bit weird on the sensation.

I've been collecting the current widget logs and plotting them in a spread sheet, and there is definitely some strange behavior.

I am also using Juice plotter which seems to agree with CurrentWidget's view of things.

The other thing I've noticed is that the battery doesn't discharge all the way down. We should see 4.2 V fully charged down to 3.1,3.0 V at 0%.

If you find anything out pls let me know.
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
thats odd, ive been running current widget w/ the widget on screen running with no issues, displaying all infor correctly, updating every 10seconds...make sure u get teh latest version, it supports evo3d and sensation
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Hi,

I've just exchanged a few e-mails with the CurrentWidget developer. He's, assuming he might be a she though, confirmed that the app gets all the data directly from the battery driver. So it's an OS reported set of data. He also mentioned that at times in the past the battery driver has been inaccurate compared with actual measurements.

I'm going to try measuring the current drain directly if I can work out how to do it in the sensation with battery without buggering up the phone.

Comments from the CurrentWidget Guy/Lass:

You are correct, CurrentWidget just displays that value from the battery driver.

You can see the battery driver files at /sys/class/power_supply/battery and confirm that the values are the same.

There was a device where people found out that the actual value is about 50% of the reported value, so that's why there is a "custom operation" option in CurrentWidget.

I guess the best way is to just measure the usage with an amperemeter..

Anyway, if you find anything that could help, I'll be happy to add it to CurrentWidget.
[HTC Sensation] nicolajkl:
Hey guys i have the same problem as you with my newly bought sensation (a week now i guess)

Uhm i installed current widget and it wont go to 0mA when charging. I mean when your fully charged it should say 0mA right? Well it doenst it swings between 17mA-80mA and the phone has been in the charger for 9 hours now.. Wen't 100% after 2 hours i guess... hope you can help thx!

[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
According to a tweet from the AlphaRev team, you aren't supposed to take the OTA unless you have already rooted using their S-OFF utility. There wasn't anything else to go along with the tweet, so if I were you I would wait for a confirmation on whether or not it breaks root OR you could be a guinea pig. I would think that HTC has patched the exploit in the update given that it has something included that changes the bootloader.

Just a FRIENDLY reminder, please remember to post questions like these in the Q&A section next time.
[HTC EVO 3D] molitar:
Yeah that is why I was afraid to update.. Be nice to have the new Android OS but the only thing I use ROOT for at this time is for Titanium Backup. But I don't want to take the update and find it will no longer work. I had used Revolutionary Root Method.

I'm not really up for flashing a whole ROM I just keeping phone as stock as possible but unlocked for great software like Titanium Backup. Yeah your right should of been in Q&A well maybe a mod will move this thread.

[Galaxy S II General] baskcoder:
Solved

I've solved the issue. When you are about set the ringtones for a Contact you're prompted to choose from the following:

Default Ringtone

Select sound from My files

Phone ringtone

I used to choose "Select sound from My files" & browse to the media folder & would select the mp3 ringtone. On selection, the contact's ringtone field's content will be "ringtone_name.mp3". This way of setting the ringtone wasn't working (Don't know why).

The solution was to choose "Phone ringtone" to set the ringtone instead. On selection, the contact's Ringtone field content will be "ringtone_name" (instead of "ringtone_name.mp3").

So, if anyone has trouble setting the contact ringtone, make sure you check with this procedure. If "Phone ringtone" option isn't displaying the ringtone you want, copy the ringtone to "/sdcard/media" folder.

Other thing you need to lookout for is the space in the phone number. For example, +xx<space>xxxxxxxxxx. Remove the space so it will be in the format +xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Do anyone know why it doesn't work when I choose "Select sound from My files"?

Hope this will be helpful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magus57:
I'm having trouble finding the answer, so I apologize if it has been answered, but - is there a modified version of said app (found in CM7 as "Clock") that works as an incredibly basic homescreen launcher? I have no use for widgets and whatnot, and would much rather have something as simple as DeskClock.apk as my homescreen.

The only major things I'm looking for specifically are:

-Able to use as a launcher and not just an app

-Can access the app drawer somehow, preferably in a simple/non-animated/non-3D/etc. way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Surely it would be easier to modify a Launcher to look how you want, rather than what you are suggesting?

Well, I also want something more responsive - I hate the lag/delay of widgets loading when the launcher is opened, the screen is rotated, etc. - even when my phone is overclocked.
