Google Talk keeps failing login

Just moved over from Cog, and have 1 issue. Google Talk keeps failing login.

I don't use it so I am happy to remove it, uninstall it, kill it, or whatever. Everything else works great. Since it won't log in, I can't get to the settings to turn off auto login.

During install, I cleaned alll caches, etc., and have since cleaned them again a few times. No help.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have Titanium Backup paid version? If so you can freeze the app, reboot and you should not hear from it again.

Is the AT&T GB bootloaders is the same as GB bootloaders I have with Cezar's Continuum rom?? sorry if it's a stupid question..
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Uninstall old drivers, install the driver from the link below, reboot, plug your phone in and you should see the pop up saying installing drivers. It may take a bit but you should see the phone.

You have debugging checked, correct?

When you boot your phone, do you see a white screen with AT&T World Phone written on it? If so, you have the AT&T GB bootloaders.

If you see I9000 flash quickly, you have the I9000 GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] lamhpvn:
^ Yes, debugging checked!

I uninstalled and dowwnloading! Report asap!

More note to consider: (before download finish, old driver) the computer said that it is installing my driver but after that, I can not see any thing else neither in my Laptop and my captivate

Downloaded file has the same size with existing file (19,317 KB ??? - before finish, it said that the file size 19,318 KB) --- any problem, but my computer recognized my captivate some time in the past, especially in stock rom, it's almost always recognized!

Hi, I found this to be the most appropriate forum part to post in.

I'm trying to make a goldcard for my HTC Desire. I've searched for hours on Google, checked possibly every guide there is, but all have the same link. The link is not working, site is down or something. ( h t tp:/ /p sas .rev skil ls. de / ?q=goldcard )

I found a 2 year old topic about gold cards where people could make goldcard if I posted the CID, so I hope you still can do it and are willing to help me aswell.

If it doesn't work in the US then yes it will drain your battery faster because it is constantly searching for a tower to connect to.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratykat:
Hey guys,

I've had a DHD for a while, absolutely love the device, best smart phone I've ever owned. However...

Recently when I plug the usb wire into the phone, it pop's up asking if I want to charge or mount as disk drive. Tapping on disk drive the device says its in disk mode, but my PC (windows 7) doesnt see it, Nor my mac(osx snow leopard) or linux(ubuntu 10.10).

I have tried with 2 HTC wires and a blackberry wire, used numerous different roms (MIUI 1.7, RCMIX hd BLISS 1.2, CoolssS sense 3 rom, Virtuous, cm7 and another sense rom that I cant remember. One of the roms said that it did have USB issues and to add a different kernal to fix it, which didnt) with no joy. Windows 7 device manager shows the Desire HD as an unknown device and mass storage controller both with a yellow !

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling htc sync with no joy. Any ideas?

Searching here and google hasnt come up with anything apart from hardware fault.

If I am to take it back to my retailer under guarantee to change device, I obviously need to unroot, s-off etc again. Will installing a stock UK RUU from HTC do it all in one go? If so could anyone link me to it?

Cheers guys!

Is it literally that simple using htc sync drivers? I will I need to mess with adb again?

Thanks mate

Edit- got adb running, but it says fastboot is an unknown command?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Attached is a zip with the fastboot.exe and the drivers if required. Extract the fastboot.exe to the tools folder of your sdk then try the command again. (Don't forget you have to select fastboot on the bootloader on your phone.)

This might not work but definitely worth a try.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratykat:
Hey,

downloaded and done as you told, however fastboot is just saying "waiting for device" and the phone only says "fastboot" not "fastboot usb"

I have reverted to a completely stock rom (1.32) losing root etc. It's still s-off however I dont think the shop I bought it from would check that, and I cant s-on due to lack of USB...

*sigh* guess I gotta say goodbye to the old fella unless there are any more suggestions?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Looks like a warranty repair job. They'll probably fix it even though it's s off. I wouldn't worry aboot it too much. Sorry I can't be more helpful but it's got me stumped.

You did say you got adb working though right? If that's the case it doesn't make sense that you can't get fastboot usb.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratykat:
I meant adb was running on pc. Not picking up the device though :(

No matter what rom I am on, usb cable is detected and asks if i would like to go to diskdrive mode, which i say yes, however, any pc, be it my own, a friends, a mac or linux box all just sit there as if it cant see it. Used multiple cables too, so it must be the device. Prehaps the pins are knackered, the usb cable does wobble when its in, its not an entirely snug fit...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Have you tried a different cable? Some cables are meant for charging but don't work for data transfers. A long shot but worth a try.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratykat:
Yeah I used a blackberry one that was used for data with my old 9700, and a friends HTC Desire usb cable too, which works fine with his phone on the same pc...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ca0smaker:
Same prob here. The phone is only charging.

Different PCs, different cables, different roms...

the adb fastboot cmd brings:

...(INFO)ERR Command Error

OKAY [ 0.007S ]

finished...

If i plug on my Desire HD (with Leedroid 4 atm) AND eject THEN the SD Card i get the Menu with the Choice of charging, HTC Sync, etc.

Now i insert the SD Card again and i have full access on it. Once. Until i unplug the cable.

I think its no HW Bug...

Anyone an idea?

[Nook Color General] LABthree:
I've read many many many threads and web articles about this topic but I can't seem to find one that is really close to today's date (September 3, 2011) I'm sure everyone has had enough of these threads already but I really could use the advice and help but I don't have any friends with the knowledge to call on.

Here is my problem... I bought a Nook Color about a week ago without doing nearly as much research as I should have (and normally do). I haven't rooted it yet but I'm still happy with my NC, which I've just been using to read and browse the web now and then. Today as I was looking at best buy's website and I came across the Samsung Galaxy Tab for only $30 more than what I paid for the NC... so that leaves me with the options of keeping my NC and rooting it or returning it and getting the Galaxy Tab.

I've never had a tablet before and this is the first real spend on myself in a really long time, so I want to make sure I make the right decision and don't regret it once it's too late. I'm looking for like an all around good e-reader/tablet but not looking to spend a whole lot of money on it, and at the time the NC looked like I wouldn't even have a doubt in my mind, until today. The cameras and gps and other random things the Galaxy Tab can do aren't really my main concerns but it sure factors into the whole picture. I'm thinking I'm ready to take that step into either starting the rooting today or getting the tab and just start playing around with it.

I guess what I'm looking for in an answer would be should I keep my NC and start going about the rooting process or should I just return it and get the tab and basically be good to go right out of the box?

That being said, I also saw that the next NC could be coming out really soon. But that doesn't really matter too much to me as I'm looking for of a more "right now" than a "near future" haha.

Thanks!!!

Edits - Really, any help/opinions/suggestions are greatly appreciated. And I guess another of my concerns and reasons for making this new thread was to maybe get insight about this topic in the "now" with the recent release of the 1.3 update and next nook color coming out "soon."
[Nook Color General] madman390:
It all comes down to what you plan to do with it, knowing that the more you learn about it, and play with it, that could change.

We have 3 Nook Colors and love them. The price, the ease of use, the great screen, are all benefits of the NC. I am not happy with the speaker or the sound from the NC, so headphones are a must. We don't have any Galaxy Tabs so I can't really tell you about them.

We use the NCs primarily as eReaders, with a few apps/games for the kids. They are (or were until BN pushed the 1.3 update) rooted so that takes a little bit of set up and maintenance time. We don't need the the cameras or the gps so we really don't miss that. We love the original NC eReader app (not the market one) so for us, I think that puts the NC over the Galaxy Tab.

I am still in search of a good music/video player, and overall, while the NC does what we need, my wife still has iPad envy so we will probably be getting an iPad 2 in the near future.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] Yoinx:
I agree with madman.

I like my NC (just got it a few days ago) and love it so far.

Somehow, I doubt the Galaxy Tab would measure up now. It seems like it would be a bit bulkier, maybe heavier... and it doesn't seem like it bring much to the party... the hardware may be a little better though (ram/cpu). The NC doesn't have any outputs though to hook up to a TV or anything like that... For some reason I want to say that the Galaxy Tab does have some sort of hdmi out, I could be mistaken though.

But, it's a matter of opinion I guess.

@madman390:

Try MoboPlayer I use it for AVI files that I stream over the network for my daughter. It works great, and has a library poster layout feel to it. Though, it won't load your files unless you enable the "software decoding" for them. You can set it in the options though, to always use it.
[Nook Color General] cymoze:
I just have to correct some misstatements here. I have a rooted CM7 Nook color and a stock Galaxy Tab. The NC is great, and very functional as a low cost, no frills, easily customized tablet with a nice screen.But where it lacks the Tab undeniably shines. The Tab is lighter, smaller, and has a wonderful Gorilla glass screen. The cameras and video capabilities are sharp and convenient. And with HDMI output, I'm able to share the contents of my Tab on a larger screen easily. And the speakers are much much so much better than those on the NC it is not even funny.

For only $30 more, the bang-for-the-buck in me outshouts the geek in me and says the Galaxy Tab wins out.
[Nook Color General] Yoinx:
Like I said... ionly have the nook color. I wasn't trying to spread misinformation... just giving my speculative opinion. Like I said.. the HDMI would be worth it. And the NC speaker suck without nook tools boosting sac.
[Nook Color General] TainT:
Im with Cymoze. I own em both and the Gorilla Glass and the "feel" of the Galaxy Tab make it my go to device. The added hardware and the drop in price make it even more appealing.

I will say this. Flashing the tab with better then stock firmware is a bit more troublesome although not impossible. The Nook Color cant be fubar`d and that appeals to alot of folks.

Not to mention making phonecalls on the tab just friggin ROCKS.

If your able to follow instructions buy the tab.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
For those who have used them side-by-side, what do you think about the reading experience on the Samsung? Is it radically different or worse than the NC (I'm just talking screens here, really--I mostly read in Aldiko, sometimes Kindle)? I'm hoping and assuming the Samsung has better audio...am I right?

I have a line on a GSM Galaxy Tab 7" at a decent price, but I couldn't afford to keep both devices. Reading is a high priority, and I'm just a little concerned that if that experience suffers much, the Samsung won't feel like an upgrade.

ETA: I guess this answers one of my questions:

assuming it also applies to the 3G model.
[Nook Color General] TainT:
I dont hqve a problem reading on the tab. But i cant say i do it for extended periods of time.

Id do spend a lot of time on it vs. The nook color. I just dont like the feel of the nook and that bezel drives me crazy.
[Nook Color General] lakerstyle:
I don't own a Galaxy Tab (however I do own a Samsung Captivate). Just based on Samsung slowness to put out firmware updates, I think B&N wins in the customer support category. However I do wish the NC had HDMI (or usb) video out. Also the NC struggles with HD video (I'm running CM7 nightly 160 and haven't had luck with any video player with HD...also struggles with youtube HD). I think if you have the patience you can tweak the NC to perform just as fast as the galaxy.

I think for $30 I might go Tab. However, check Ebay or Buy.com....NC refurbs can be had for $160-$169 (I got one I swear it looks brand new...I think B&N is just dumping them to get ready for the NC2).
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
I bought a NC back in March I believe and I love it. Yes, the speaker sucks, the screen, while works okay, is a little unresponsive, but other than that I prefer it over the tab 7 WIFI! I stress this because I got the Galaxy tab 7 WIFI version for FREE and after using it only twice I got rid of it. If you're going to get the tab, the WiFi version is a NO GO! It lacks in every way compared to it's counterpart. It's slower, less ram, no HDMI out possibilities, bluetooth is locked down, and there is virtually no community support (you cannot use the GSM or cmda roms). Touchwiz SUCKS on any device and even more so on the bigger screen of the Tab.

If you don't care about the GPS, camera, etc. then the NOOK should be your choice. You can do so much more with it and, to me, it feels like a budget tablet should feel. The galaxy tab, to me, just felt like a childs toy.

I read on my nook color ALL the time using Aldiko and I love it. I didn't like the way the Tab 7 felt in my hands, it did feel bigger and more bulky. It was thicker by a lot, although not quite as tall due to the n button area on the nook.

Call it a bad experience, but I'd still rather have a nook than a galaxy tab 7 any day. I love samsung as a brand, but their tablets have not impressed me at all (although I do like my rooted gummycharged Droid Charge).

Another general warning about Samsung android devices....they lock down their bluetooth so that you can't use a lot of the things that you could on other devices like the PS3/wii controller, HID devices, etc. Some say they did it on purpose, others say it is just the way it happened. I hear HID is unlocked with the gsm/cdma galaxy tab 7 but I cannot confirm this.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kodiak:
Hi there.

I'm modifying a custom ROM to include some of the usal apps I use daily.

In the zip, if I add an app to /data/app the app is installed and if I copy the data from the ROM I'm using and put it on /data/data on the zip of the custom ROM not only app is installed as she maintains all my user data (preferences, hystory, passwords, data, etc..).

Is it possible to tell that app to install automatically on the SD?

On my phone I know that apps that I send to SD create an pkg.apk on /mnt/asec and a file in /mnt/secure/asec so what I've done was copy that directory structure to the zip of the new ROM but after I flash it, apps don't get installed.
