[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt.loss:
so im pretty much a noob to this website and my g tablet but heres my problem

i was stuck at the bootloader (those frickin birds:mad:) so i decided to nvflash to get it back to normal, i followed the instructions step by step and it seemed to work, it booted normally and i thought all was good untill it randomly turned off, so i plugged it back into the computer and held the power button and i heard it connect so i nvflashed again and the white writing popped up, it finished, it got to the g tab screen then turned off again. i let it die last night and i just went to turn it on and nothing. help please
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronin916:
Sgt,

You may have to crack open the case and pull the power connection for a few seconds and then plug it back in. Seems like every tab is a little different, but you can reference this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118087

Maybe that gets you back up into APX at least.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt.loss:
thanks for the help :) unfortunantly it didnt do anything, i think im stuck in apx mode because i can still nv flash, every time i do it goes straight to gtab screen then shuts off, i turn it back on and i can flash but nothing else
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronin916:
You may want to try this:

It shows you how to NVFlash Clockwork. If you can then get into that, you could repartition and format you GTab, then load the ROM of your choice.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
I know that CM7 currently does not support hardware acceleration(video codec/playback for some videos),the sensors/accelerometers aren't fully sensitive enough to play most games, and none of the flashlight apps can turn on the camera LED...

There are some other ASOP or CM7 based roms floating around both on XDA and rootzwiki...Do any of those have all of the above mentioned issues fixed yet? The op's for some of them say "fully functional hardware" or something similar in a post...but no one has elaborated as to these particular issues...I know the low in-call volume was fixed in the newest beta of Glitch kernel..and also..jt continues to update and work on his stuff..

Anyone on the other CM7 based roms out there.... do you still have these issues...cause if there is a rom (other than TW) that has all of these working correctly...I would like to know which rom/kernel combination it is...thanks

hi i have shifted from the stock browser to dolphin browser HD but cannot download videos like earlier. videos play within the browser instead of getting downloaded. any fix for this. pls help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun.dhir:
help pls

waiting for help. Pls
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:
Most likely you have Dolphin Browser setup as Desktop instead of Mobile.

Desktop = shows the webpage just if you were viewing on a PC so videos play in the browser.

Mobile = renders video as a mobile browser normally does (ie. stock browser - externally via Flash).

[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
Hi to all,

Ever since the release of the Sensation line of devices, there have been a lot of paradigm shifts at HTC, one of which is their willingness to open up to the people who made them what they are today.... us.

With that in mind, if you had questions regarding everything that has been going on at HTC lately (online unlockers, HTCDev.com, OpenSense SDK, etc), what would you ask?

Think of questions and doubts like:

- why is the EVO 3D still S-On even after completing the unlock process?

- why are devices still locked out of the box and require the user to unlock them?

- what's the deal with unlocking and warranties?

- why is HTC slower than Revolutionary?

- what cool stuff can devs do with the new OpenSense SDK and APIs?

Quick note: development related questions are highly encouraged as well!

Please post all your questions in here. I will be making an article in the Portal with the best questions (and hopefully with answers straight from HTC!)

So, fire away.... I will only keep this thread open for about a week or so as I am also posting this in the Sensation forums. Once I gather enough material, I will send off the questions to HTC and will write an article about it shortly.

Happy asking! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I think phones will still be locked out of the box just to keep things safe from users that dont know what they are doing. I also think the reason they were slower than revolutionary is a mute point too as it doesn't matter and they likely had more indepth one and had to figure a way to track users that do so to protect themselves from having to service warranty phones b/c people borked them doing stupid stuff.

The MAIN ? That everyone should be asking is WHY the device is Still S-ON and we are NOT allowed to flash anything past a rom. NO custom kernels, no splash screens, no radios too i assume.

I actually asked this to a few HTC reps and got answers that were all over the place. One time the rep responded saying if you do their unlock method you should in fact have S-OFF. BUT that they also offer ZERO support for those unlocking so if you dont show it then they can't help. This was while I was just trying to report that it didn't show S-OFF and wanted to know if this was on purpose or a fix was coming later in an OTA or if this was staying like this.

The same rep later said that unlock process may be full or part, and that he can not tell why or if it will be full in the future.

It clearly states not all devices are supported, not that some will be half unlocked and some will be full unlocked.

He then went on to say again they can't offer any support for the unlock stuff even though that was NOT what i was trying to get at all.

so to end it HTC really needs to be hounded about this issue and needs to issue a release stating WHY the 3D is only getting partial unlock, and when they plan on fixing that. There is little point in being able to tweak the rom if you can't do kernel and the lower level stuff.

The only reason this isn't being brought into a bigger issue is b/c most/all the devs and people that care got the phone before the OTA came out so they are clear of the issues. BUT all the others have to suffer at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
Interesting points... however, I think you missed the objective of this thread :p

The questions that you answered are only examples of things to ask HTC, and are not questions from me. I am in contact with someone at HTC and they want to try and get closer to devs, which is why I am posting this here. They would like to know what are our concerns, questions, and comments regarding their doings as of recently.

I will bring your post up with them as I think it was good as well.

Thanks... :)
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah well then limit what I said to the S-ON point and please find out if thats going to be fixed or if its something we will have to live with in regards to the unlock method. I think its rediculous to provide a half unlock that doesn't allow flashing of custom kernels, radios, and splash screens.

the more I think about it i dont think I missed the point of your thread really though. As what I stated is a "...concern, question, and comments..." toward them.

I do think I would like some more examples laid out for opensense and things it opens up like you stated originally.

Also would be nice to have a forum on their developer portion of their site where devs could get with HTC devs/tech support/ along with other sense devs and run things by them in there that are specifically geared toward the things on the dev site.
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
So if they wish to get closer to the Devs, Then how about this....

When they do a OTA like they did when they went from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and changed the kernel why do they not also at the same time release that new kernel/source to the Dev community instead of sitting on it or never releasing it? It would seem as if they truely want to get close to the Dev community they should reach out and participate..

And I to would like to know WHY there is NO S-Off?

Like what Sgt. said....having it unlocked with no S-off makes no sense. Cause you cant tweak the rom if you can't do kernel and the lower level stuff. (and no kernel source)

I think if HTC works with the Dev community as you say they want to... Then they might be able to help reduce those warranty issues by doing so..

So my questions are Why no S-off?

If doing S-Off WHEN?

Why do you get multiple answers depending on who you talk to about this stuff at HTC?

Shouldnt all the Tech help have the same info?

How about releasing Kernel and such when an OTA is done so Dev's can use it? It might just save alot of issues/warranty as well...

Maybe im way off base and im fairly new here but.. Those be my questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] DoctorComrade:
Why did they release the incomplete source for their kernels?
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
This +1

And I want to know if they will release the kernel sources in a better timeframe than they have been doing?

I also want to know how we can participate with getting HTCSense.com out of beta?
[HTC EVO 3D] jamexman:
LG is about to release an update that will convert 2D Games to 3D in their 3D phone (optimus 3d), are you going to do this for us too?

What about more 3D content in your Watch app? (The movies one, so far only the green hornet), in short, more 3D content for us!
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I would like to ask them why I can't ever hear my speaker... at all. It's so quiet that I can have it all the way up and if there is any background noise I have to put the phone up to my ear to see if it's playing. My ears aren't at fault either because I have much better hearing than just about everyone I know.

Also, why do they refuse to release their source code in a timely manner and when are they going to rectify that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonamoose:
I think the biggest problem we now have with HTC is a lack of trust . I would tell your friend and HTC to tell the PR people not to post or promise anything at all until your 100% it will be delivered on time. Also we need transparency.... Saying you'll unlock the bootloader is taken to mean the whole things not part. Explain things better and then explain why. Also as part of AOSP release the WORKING source BEFORE the update hits OTA. LG is a shinning example of this...
[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
Thank you all for your questions. I believe I have what I need for the time being. I will submit the questions to HTC and will post an article in the Portal as soon as they are answered. Thank you all again for your time :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] IlPeach:
Hi all,

First post here and of course search is off ATM, so, sorry in advance if it's already been posted.

The problem I'm currently having is via the terminal emulator, from root:

# rm -rf /datadata/com.skype.raider
rm: /datadata/com.skype.raider/files/<account>/chatsync/21/obj1286: No such file or directory

The whole problem seems related to this Skype problem:

community.skype.com/t5/Android/Please-re-install-skype-PROBLEM/td-p/71138

which has been introduced with the latest release of the app.

Trying to follow the suggestion someone gave on the thread I tried to delete the dir (after uninstalling the app) with the above result.

I've also tried to chmod and chown -R, but nothing has changed.

To me this looks like a dandling reference to the directory content from a bad coded piece of software. But that's just the idea it gave me.

If anyone has an idea on how to recover from this problem, it'll be more than wellcome.

Thanks

PS: /datadata is a yaffs2 fs.

[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
My questions would be concerning their kernel releases. 1) Why is the 3D gaming not working correctly? 2) Why after so many releases, there are still HUGE bugs? And question three which in my opinion is most important.... 3) WHY DID THEY WRITE CODE FOR THE 2ND PROCESSOR TO BE OFF 99.99% OF THE TIME!?!?
[HTC Sensation] egzthunder1:
Awesome questions! Thank you... I will be sure to pass them along.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Why did they decide to put the WiFi antenna where it is?
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Why did they give us a dual-core processor phone if that aspect is not really utilized or if when it is it isn't properly utilized?
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Also if you don't mind, could you ask them if they are planning on releasing a dock with HDMI out or something of that sort?
[HTC Sensation] Kezzainc:
I would like to know more about the monitoring/report to base software they have installed. I do hope its not as bad as Apple with its location saving a few months back.

Also why the LCD density doesn't change depending on what size screen we have.

Edit : Big thumbs up on what CPU they picked also with async. Clearly the clever one to pick for a unit on a battery that's on standby most of the day. Maybe the best is for HTC to work with Dev's to give each a choice to run the cores how they like.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Whenever I deodex the entire ROM (apps & system) it boot loops what-so-ever :confused:

I have no idea what I've done wrong, I've tried to do it all over again etc. but it ain't helping.

I've also tried to only deodex the app folder, (leaving the framework folder unmodified) but it still bootloops :confused:
[TouchPad General] Ell3X:
First:

Go to "HP App Catalog" and install "Switcharoo Lite" *FREE*

Start the app and make your preferred settings.

Description:

Switcharoo stores all wallpapers in

/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orbsix.app.switcharootouchdemo/images/wallpapers/

There are no subfolders for each categories !

It just uses the name i.e. "abstract" to seperate them in the list.

abstract1.jpg

...

architecture1.jpg

...

animals1.jpg

...

art1.jpg

...

cutesy1.jpg

...

flowers1.jpg

...

funny1.jpg

...

nature1.jpg

...

space1.jpg

...

technology1.jpg

...

textures1.jpg

...

transportation1.jpg

...

There are exactly 5 different pictures for each category available.

But there isn`t any limitation ... you can add as many pictures as you want :-)

i.e. abstract1.jpg,abstract2.jpg,abstract3.jpg ...

If you want to add a picture to show up in animals category, just add a picture named "animals1.jpg" to overwrite an existing

picture or "animals6.jpg" to add an additional picture.

In this way you can add your custom pictures to any category.

How to:

Turn Developer Mode on

Connect Touchpad via USB to PC

Start WebOS Quick install -> Tools -> Send File -> add your file for example "abstract33.jpg" -> copy path shown below in destination

/media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.orbsix.app.switcharootouchdemo/images/wallpapers/

That`s it !

Have Phun ;-)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
Alright I've searched through XDA, and I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldn't find it.

Problem:

Booted up my phone (i9000T) up this morning and it started vibrating (the FC vibrating type feedback), and I was getting all these .com.Android errors (from the keyboard, to internal Android errors, to Pandora, to the keyboard again ETC). Eventually it kicked me back to the initial setup screen and all those errors kept popping up. (The last apps that I installed were 2 days ago, Shazam and Soundhound from the market)

Finally I said "Screw it", reflashed my phone in Odin, repartitioned, and reinstalled everything (since I decided to format my SD in the Recovery Menu too which I forgot that my TiBu backup was on)

Is my phone/SD Card dying, or WTF is going on? & How common does this BS happen to you guys?

A little background:

I had 2 different i9000m (bell) phones that died from the internal SD errors. When they were dying they went through this same startup BS as what happened to my i9000T. Eventually on the next reboot they would go through the "boot loop of death".

So I decided to go the "i9000T" route because I got really tired of my i9000m phones dying. So of course I'm very concerned about WTF is going on with my i9000T (since that phone isn't supposed to have the SD issues like the Bell)

My current Setup:

i9000T

Running one of the stock Froyo Euro Roms (I9000XXJPU) for a couple of weeks now

Added the I9000B_JPA_JP3_JPA_JPA_modem_850.zip modem to get 3G

Rooted with CF

Apps I have apx 60 or so (all from the Android Market) mainly general BS stuff like Launcher Pro, Smart Keyboard Pro, TV Guide ETC...

I mean I really LOVE the Galaxy S phones, but none of this stuff crapping out ever happened when I owned a Milestone, Desire, or even my Atrix. :confused:

My first 2 i9000M phones lasted a month, and now this goofy error happened right around the month mark for my i9000T too, but haven't received the "boot loop of death yet?"

Right now things "appear" to be fine after I reinstalled all my apps and settings again from scratch.

So as my bold question above states:

Any ideas what could be going on with my phone, and is this that common of an issue for the Galaxy S users?... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
So how often does a stock ROM crap out for no reason for you guys?... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] onetik:
I once had an error like that, which I thought was probably due to me messing up flashing in Odin. However, it hasn't recurred in a couple of months now, although I'm using the international I9000 and not the I9000T. Also, I've stopped formatting the internal SD during flash to increase its longevity, given I don't flash too often.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chief_Death:
do you have a lot of apps installed ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersc:
I got a wierd problem. My galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.

When I shut the phone down without a USB cable connected then the phone turns black and the 'menu and 'return' button lights up then the phone vibrates. at this stage before the buttons turns black and the phone was totally shut down. now instead the buttons are still lit after the vibration and then the phone starts up again.

With a USB plugged in after the vibration when shutting down I get to the screen where the battery indicating charging is shown, but as soon i remove the USB cable the phone starts.

I got a youtube clip showing all this and I will update the post as soon the 'audio swap' is done.

The power button is not stuck.

It's not rooted:

Android version: 2.3.3

I9100XXKE7

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root(at)DELL101 #2

GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

I cleared the cache in 3e recovery. No change.

I fully charged my battery. No change

I drained my battery to 0%. No change

I tried another battery. No change.

What's the deal? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I'm asking this in order to avoid sending the phone to service since it most likely will be gone for a couple of days. I will not try stuff involving rooting the phone since I need to have the option of sending it to service without them refusing the phone due to rooting.
