[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] BADIC:
I ordered a car mount from mountguys and wanted to post a pic. It seems to be really well made and came with everything you could ever need in order to mount it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] shaolinx:
two questions:

1) how are you charging the tablet? I can't seem to find a car usb adapter that outputs 2A for the 10.1...

2) what is the mount attached to?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] BADIC:
If you look at one of the pics you will find a car charger from verizon that has a usb port and I have just been plugging it into that and I haven't had any issues.

Its mounted to a little storage area between the seats.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] TabGuy:
That's easy. Go to Best Buy, Fry's, where ever and get a car charger for an iPad. iPads also need 2.1 amp. Throw away the cable and use a GT cable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatJawn:
So, just switched out my captivate because my warranty was still in effect. Rooted etc etc. But I remember installing CWM with rom manager to begin flashing my first rom back in the day.

But anywho, I have installed ROM Manager, clicked to flash CWM but when I go into recovery (vol + - & Power) All I get is the samsung one. (Blue text) and I only have the options to reboot, install packages, clear cache or wipe sd card.

Can anyone offer any advice?

^ Try reinstall packages. U may have to do it twice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
Gotta install the update.zip with install packages but you have signed bootloaders if you're on stock froyo. Odin to 2.1 and install cwm from there. You can find the update.zip for cwm on the cappy forums and just put that on the root of your internal memory to avoid using rom manager. Don't even have to root to flash.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
I typically use Odin jf6 one click rev0 from designgears. Its still on the forums I believe but might be dead link. Just make sure it has the pbl and sbl. If you are worried I can upload the one I have used for the past 9 months without fail( but ffailure is always possible, just be sure to follow directions and you should be alright. ) alternatively there is a guide to get to stock jh7 on the forums using the Odin that you have to manually select files for. Should be an easy search. I believe people consider this safer for the newer builds but I used oneclick on my 1010 tons of times and have used it once on my 1012 no problems.

Sorry for the long post hope I helped(:

[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
Never had this happen before. So, somebody called me and left a message as I was putting a Rom on my phone. I didn't realize this as I was setting up my phone. I use Google voice for voicemail. After I set up Google voice, I noticed I had a voicemail but I can't check it as it's from Verizon voicemail. I've tried going back to Verizon voicemail. Unchecked Google, chose my carrier, signed out of voice, but everytime I try checking voicemail, it still accesses my Google voice one... Same ladies voice and same message by me. How can I completely get rid of Google voice and set Verizon voicemail back up? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
The forwarding is actually done on Verizon's end, so you need to cancel that first by dialing *73 from your phone -- it'll appear to make a call and hang up. Then just dial *86 to get to Verizon's voicemail.

When you're done with Verizon's voicemail, you need to reactivate forwarding by dialing *71xxxxxxxxxx (replace the x's with your Google Voice number, including the area code).

You can also get more detailed instructions by going to Google Voice's website, selecting Settings, Phone, and hitting Deactivate/Activate next to your phone number.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JG2Springer:
Verizon Voicemail

If I remember correctly... its *86.

If I am not mistaken, its *86.

Thank you! Worked like a charm!
[EVO 4G General] JayH1980:
It use to work while I was using Fresh Rom but after installing Myn Synergy Rom and then going back to Fresh Rom due to the bugs it no longer works... I have tried wipes, flashing stock ruu... nothing seems to work... I just get the "Unable to download widgets. Tap to try again" message. I found a post in the Desire forum about changing your location setting but that didn't work either. Any ideas?

Thank you for your time and help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GrainOsand:
It used to be almost every dev would release their mods on XDA and they would eventually trickle out to the other forums. Lately I noticed more stuff being released on ROOTZWIKI and not on XDA. 2 cases in point are IMNUTS hacked kernel and JT moving all his mods to ROOTZWIKI.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
Some Devs are continuing to contribute and post their work on XDA; however, a lot are fed up with XDA for lots of reasons and have left. Many are posting at rootzwiki now. Some exclusively.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I think some of the devs are getting fed up with the way the site is run, moderated, or just general dislike of the sometimes rude people here... Rootzwiki is not bad, almost exactly like XDA in the way it looks and operates... I signed up over there and check both forums as it seems you are right and little by little more is only being posted over there
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
interesting. will have to sign up for an account there too.

thanks, OP.

Edit:

btw, what are some things about XDA that's upsetting Dev's?
[Verizon Droid Charge] davey11:
There is way more activity here though. People tell it like is here and some may construe that as rude.

Xda pays google a ton of money for search results... That's why xda is gigantic
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
well more are gonna know about it now lol... don't mean to derail thread but any news on a possible humble GB update (if any)? :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
huh. interesting.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
That's not how Google works -- you can't pay them to rank higher (or even rank at all) in search results. XDA may pay for sponsored links (AdWords) next to the search results, but I'm not even sure they do that as in countless ROM-related searches I've never seen an XDA ad.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I'll create a (not so short) list of reasons why people are leaving

New people asking questions that have been asked 500 times

People not reading threads for known issues/problems/etc.

People not searching before asking/posting

Rude people (not just "telling it how it is" either)

Know it all types that really know nothing

People not following

Lack of moderation

Unfair moderation

Inconsistent moderation with regards to rules

Sense of entitlement among users (goes back to rude people)

I'm sure there are other reasons as well. As for XDA paying for Google rankings, they may not directly, but indirectly, pages that get traffic get higher rankings in search results. And also, a site's age/reputation factors into it as well.

RootzWiki is new, and with most forums I've been to for phones, people will wait to see what the better forum is, then go there. With most devices being released already before RootzWiki started, communities have already developed elsewhere. As new phones come out, where people are posting could quite easily change. And so far, RootzWiki has a much more consistent moderation approach, as well as developer friendly environment.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
but I (and most of the regulars) appreciate the ones who do stay and put up with it :D this isn't a job so its awesome you guys keep up with this, especially for as long as some of you have
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
+1. I just try answer as many questions as possible so you guys don't have to. Once again, thanks for all the work you do and the other devs do!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChrisAC:
I'm still using one of your early non-voodoo pbj kernels (along with your modified cwm). Stock EE4. Even at that time, the instruction & comment thread was quite large, with lots of feedback, problems, advice, & fixes. I know you devs are really good at updating the first post of the thread, but the following sentence still applies, especially for newbies.

It is therefore important to read entire threads!

Of course, this is where the problems start for the new folks (re impatient). Then come questions on clarifications. True, I've seen you answer the same question many times.

I can't relate to the "entitlement mentality" of some users.

I read a lot of yours (& kejar's) writings. Truly enjoy it.

I follow the forums with the most traffic. More traffic = more knowledge for me. (selfish bast. . .)

Sorry your experience here is turning sour. I'll not contribute to the apples.

Thanks for all of your hard work, devotion, & yes, patience.

Chris
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
personally i post everything i do on both xda and rootz

in the beginning i wasnt entirely in support of yet another forum. but they do a lot over there and as new phones come out (especially verizon ones) id imagine the communities will be larger and larger there versus xda

having said that, im surprised xda hasnt shut down this thread yet because apparently speaking of other forums isnt allowed

whereas rootz will let you post xda links and discuss whatever u want (even to their own detriment) regardless
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
I will add a few reasons that are not mentioned already

1... At Rootz, the site owners are appreciable and friends with many of the devs... They are also strong supporters of developers

2... The allow subforums.. this is important as once you get a subforum, you as the dev/owner of that subform can moderate yourself....
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
I remember back in the windows mobile Touch Pro 2 days PPCGeeks was the place to be for Sprint/Verizon Roms, so it's definitely possible for development communities to shift to a different website. If enough big developers used Rootzwiki exclusively, I think everyone would follow them. People go wherever the developers go. Rootzwiki giving out free phones to developers is also pretty cool...

Yea man I think its against xda rules to post a paid app whether its yours or someone else's. Its like using xda to sell your work and I think mods frown on this.

[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
In a nutshell... I rooted with superoneclick...Verizon update un-rooted me...can't re-root. Tried using LGNPST to flash stock rom... initially found phone and all was well but got error- can't find USB in dload mode. Phone stuck on -do not remove cable- screen... I had to pull battery. Now my USB port is not working at all (No Icon... tried drivers, cables, 4 different computers, have a second revolution is recognized quickly) whereas before this it was intermittent and I would get it (USB) back after several battery pulls and reboots.

I would like to bring this phone in to have it checked out but since I'm not rooted I can't get rid of the files associated with the original root (such as superuser). I did a factory reset hoping to get USB back and/or get rid of these files to no avail.

I must add I am super new at all this... I've read a lot on the forums but I don't know what I am doing. I didn't install Rom's or do any flashes. Just Wifi Tether, and titanium backup. Which means I also don't have clockwork (I literally just rooted a day or two before update)

Can anyone get me out of this MESS?? I just want to clean up my phone to bring it in for service/exchange but fear they will realize that I rooted.

Please!!! And Thank You for all the great work you do here
[LG Revolution] drutman:
Check your cable I had same problem when I used a usb not supplied by verizon. The retailler will do a swap they do not have the time or expertise to check for a root or rom change. Water damage is all they look for. I used to manage a vzn reseller.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
So is the phone working or no? It sounds like either it works or that it is stuck in a download screen.
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
Many cables tried

Thanks for the response... But we have 3 LG phones in the house, 2 Revolutions and a Optimus. I tried all 3 (LG Branded) cables on my phone, which didn't work...but did on the other 2 phones. I think since the other revolution connects easily with a cable to the computer that it is probably not a cable or a driver issue. I may be wrong, but it seems to make sense???

Also, The phone works fine other than there being no USB communication. Thanks for asking...
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I fairly new to this as well but I have a thought. If you still have superuser try to use ti to remove the apps you installed and then remove superuser. ti can be uninstalled from the market. No promises if this will work but it is a thought. Hope it helps. :)
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
Remove superuser

Can you remove superuser from the market?? If so, I need instructions please.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Try to use Titanium backup which you got from the market to uninstall anything not from the market and then uninstall that. That should get you squared away. I hope...
[LG Revolution] squidder:
That's all they look at in the store but they then send the phone to Verizon and if Verizon sees that it was rooted they will send you a bill for full retail of the replacement phone you were given. (Seen it happen many time)
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Quite the opposite for me I've sent back a fascinate rooted with community rom and wireless tether, 1 eris rooted with kaosfroyo and wireless tether on it, and 4 other eris' rooted with tethering and never had a problem. Of course that is not a guarantee for everyone, but I don't know anyone that has ever been charged.
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
Titanium Backup

I believe titanium backup requires you to be rooted... which I'm not since I lost it during the update?
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Yea but if you still have super user you might be able to use it. I would give it a shot
[LG Revolution] peaveyone:
Yeah, I tried...it's looking for root
[LG Revolution] squidder:
O wow thats a lot. I've done it once on accident and got away with it as well. I shouldn't have said seen many times as I've only seen it happen once but have heard stories online. I guess it just depends which employee looks at it. When u root your phone your warranty is voided so if u recieve a warranty replacement and they see your phone was rooted then u are not entitled to the replacement so they ask for it back or say pay up.
[LG Revolution] drutman:
Warranty voided by rooting ?

I am a little concerned about the report of a users phone root voiding a replacement. Think about it for a minute, Android is open source and freedom to write apps is encouraged by all manufact. When you root a phone, the software is not illegal Google market sells root apps for other phones. Do you think the manufacturers would allow the official marketplace to sell apps that could void warranties? BS, this sounds like Sony's attempt to deny PS3 owners replacements after their required sys updates would brick their consoles. I had a buddy whose console froze up and he had to get an attorney to file a complaint before they would warranty it. If that happened to me I would file with the BBB or protest loudly at VZN.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryman222:
First off my goal is to get the boot.img from the DroidX2 (No i wont be modifying it lol). I already split the .sbf file to see all the code groups and that all went smoothly, heres my dilema,

I tried using SHX Codec 2.66 to split the CGxx.smg files, but it errors every time i try to open it. It says:

Exception EStringListError in module SHX CoDex 2.66.exe at 0001C451

List index out of bounds (0)

The boot.img is in one of those code groups. Does anyone know how to fix this or how to use something else to split .smg files, or even another way to get the boot.img?

Thank you.

Hey guys. I've had my cappy since last august (one year, obviously) and today an act of god happened while I was trying to flash my phone to serendipity 6.4 - lightning struck my dorm building (poor college student), and the power went out.

anywho, as you know the warranty period is one year (stupid if you're locked in for 2 years, imho) and guess what? my warranty expired YESTERDAY. FML. called AT&T and they won't let me get a new one now, and I'm not eligible for an upgrade. so... i have two options - shell out a lot of cash that I don't have for an insurance replacement or new phone, or fix my phone. I've tried making a jig, and it didn't work. None of the key combos work. It always goes to the phone-warning-computer screen. I searched and searched for a miracle solution but found nothing. Does anyone have anything I can try?

If not... is there anyone out there with an HTC inspire or captivate they'd be willing to sell me? This is the only phone I have, I don't have a backup, nor a home phone line.

With the pc screen you can't hold down the volume buttons and plug in usb with Odin running? If you're on gb kf1 bootloaders I remember seeing somewhere that screen is download mode. Worth a try.
