[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
A few weeks ago, both amazon and google markets made changes which made their markets more "device aware". This was not done due to any plot by amazon or google but was a change brought about to ensure that apps downloaded to a device would function well. This relieved the markets of the issues that come about by folks downloading incompatible apps then wanting refunds when they did not work. App developers were asked to list devices that their apps were designed to run on and these devices were included in the devs database on the market. This also protects the developers. As I said, no plot, just good business sense.

You can certainly change build properties and reregister your nook but remember that if the app does not function, you have no recourse through the market for a refund.

Just sayin......
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spdsl:
Ditto to moshe5368 with one correction. A few months ago both Google and Amazon markets made their changes. I ran into the same problem. Unregistered from both markets, edited the build.prop file, followed the directions on repairing / replaceing the market , and finally it worked. Amazon is not plotting against other tablets, for now at least.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tightwad:
My wife's Nook wasn't eligible for the Apps from Amazon. I changed the Build.Prop file to the Samsung Nexus S per the instructions. I deregistered the device from her profile. I changed the screen Density to 160.

Now that I have done all of that, I can't get her device to re-register with Amazon. I tried to delete and reinstall the Amazon App using Titanium, but it wouldn't delete...any ideas? How do I re-register her device?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james222277:
It's not just on the nook. I'm getting the same responce on my Viewsonic G Tablet.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorpay:
Amazon is subsidizing the Fire, so it doesn't make financial sense for them to block competitors. They get more money from Nook users up front then they will those that purchase the Fire.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
Hi All.

I have put winamp on my Aria, and now if I try to use the Bluetooth media button it asks if I want to use winamp or the defult player.

Unlike a normal dialogue for this it doesn’t have a make default option.

Does anyone know how I can make winamp my default player?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
What do you see under the question? Is there a yes/no option?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asovse1:
It could be because you're launching the player through a strange concept.

Try SEARCH > name of random music file.

Should probably work.

EDIT: Meant to say context instead of concept. Damn you autocorrect.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
Thank for the replies.

Nope there is no box to allow you to set the default, and yep I have tried to just open a music file to see if it is the same dialogue, and it is.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
One solution I can think of is Tasker. It can automate the process for you. Its not free, but its worth it. They have a trial on their website. Its fully functional but is only good for a few days...enough for you test it out.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
Hi CMA, I am actually running Tasker which is the key reason I want the functionality (The symptoms are the same as with the headset button)

So for example I have this code which Pauses and attempts to un-pause the music, and it brings up the dialog

Any thoughts on how to get tasker to help?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
So...

I take it no one is using winamp and a BT Headset then? :(
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHarley04:
Are you on a stock or custom ROM?

I use a different media player (not stock) on CM7 with BT all the time. I just delete the stock "music.apk" file from the "system/app" folder and then install one of my own choice.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
Hey Charley

I am using the Stock International ROM (Not the AT&T One) So rooting and removing the package is your recommendation?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHarley04:
Well, rooting does open up a lot of flexibility and possibilities, not to mention getting rid of the ATT bloatware.... ;)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
As I said, I don't have the Bloated AT&T Build. It seems I am now going to be going back to the question of how to get root, without dropping a whole new ROM on the device, so that i can just clean it up as by my requirements.

Interestingly... This is where my questions started on these forums.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Which HBOOT do you have right now?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
Still have 1.02.000

Haven't done anything since purchase.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
If you want to get root without modifying your ROM at all (i.e. you like sticking with what you've got now), then you need to do these steps:

1) Use Revolutionary tool to S-OFF the device.

2) Normally, Revolutionary will attempt to install Clockworkmod Recovery to your device. If it fails for any reason (it happens sometimes), then you can manually install it by following the steps in this thread (just the first 6 steps).

3) Once you have Clockworkmod Recovery installed, I recommend taking a Nandroid backup of your current ROM. This creates a backup of your current ROM so that you can undo any changes later.

4) Root the ROM by following the steps under "To root" in the same thread I linked to in step 2.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FALCON-LORD:
The idea of Rooting the phone is good...

Well right up until it returns the following and my research indicates that there is no solution.

Oh well, Looks like I'll have to wait till the next revolution release

PS... Who is Caroline?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I don't know what is causing that error. I'd recommend going to the Revolutionary IRC channel and asking them directly:

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arne182:
I have now had this problem since the Winamp update to 1.2.1.

Every time I update the app the BT control is set back to the default android player.

http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/android/Winamp-1.1.1.apk

On the new Winamp you just need to have the app open and then the BT controls will work. But I would rather stick with the old version where it was working properly.
[General Questions and Answers] cnoffsin:
Kind of a noobish question but I have to ask.

I have received an HTC G1 that I am going to put Cyanogenmod on.

I have an old Blackberry Curve 8310 that I have grandfathered in Unlimited GPRS service on through At&t using the CINGULARGPRS APN.

Can I use those same settings on the G1 with my Sim card from my blackberry and get data service OK?

Will At&t be able to tell that I switched to a device that is not a Blackberry or is a GPRS connection a GPRS connection to them?

Thank you for your help.

I have a Rogers Captivate with a broken screen and you can hear it turn on and such but the screen is not turning on.

My question is this...I found someone willing to sell me a Captivate that has water damage but what I am not sure is would that water damage also damage the screen.Cause that is all i need to replace but i don't want to buy the damaged Captivate is the screen wont work.

Thanks in advance!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toy028:
If you clean any corroded connections from the water damage then i would say your odds are good but theres no way to know without trying it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solentdan:
Ok thanks for that one.I just don't want to take a chance and buy the phone and it turns out the screen is useless.

I will just wait and hope I can find a cheap working one.

Thanks for the reply bud!
[Xperia Arc General] rainnoct:
Hi all,

this is my first post on XDA forum, my name is rainnoct :)

If you have used Little Photo on android, you may already know me ;)

Recently, I am so stupid that I accepted the OTA update from Sony, my rooted phone is "bricked". After that, I followed the method on XDA forum and I used the fastboot tool to recover it.

It worked and I can boot my phone. However, I cannot install any app from Android market. Whenever I click on the install, it start downloading, and then it is stopped.

No error message, no warning, no force close. The download is just disappeared and nothing installed.

I tried the following :

1. Unlock the bootloader again, however, the fastboot tool prompt me that the phone is already unlocked.

2. Flash the LT15i (rooted version) again

3. Erased the cache + user data using fastboot -w

4. Reset the phone from setting menu (press the button to reset to factory setting, however, it does not work. The reset button does no response at all.)

I tried all the thing I can do now. I can only use my phone to call / receive phone call. It could not install any app.

What can I do ?

(Sorry, I just found that there is a Q&A sub forum , please remove this post if it should not belong to here)
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Try some of THESE suggestions. It's not an uncommon issue so there are plenty of suggestions you could try.
[Xperia Arc General] rainnoct:
I tried to follow the suggested method on the web,

they said that "hard reset" does solve it.

However, I can't hard reset my Arc.

The following keys does not work :

1. Volume down key + power key

2. Menu key + power key

3. Back + menu key + power key

4. Take the battery out, and put it back then volume down + power key

I cannot enter the so-called "fastboot menu" of the phone. There should be a menu for me to hard-reset or recover the phone. However, I can't enter this mode.
[Xperia Arc General] rainnoct:
Finally, I found out the solution myself ;)

Let me summarize,

The Problem Situation :

You have rooted your Arc. You also accepted the OTA update from sony.

The phone is bricked, and you un-bricked it by this method ,

Unluckily, after un-brick, your phone is not working normally (eg: cannot install app from market).

Recover the phone to original, at least, normal state

here is the step :

1. Do not just flash the LT15i rooted img, it don't recover the whole phone to total original state (since it is just flash the /system partition). Instead of doing this, download the latest firmware from Sony, I used

4.0.A.2.368

XDA post for download

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1199597

2. Download X10FlashTool.exe , put the extracted ".ftf" file and put into firmware folder. (it is not .img, it is .ftf, it contain the whole system firmware)

3. Open FlashTool , press flash and follow the instruction. Note, it ask you to press power button with the lower-right key (it is the menu key on your Arc). It is not correct for Arc. You should press the

Back

key of your Arc instead.

4. Power button + back key, just wait the FlashTool to flash your phone.

After flashing the 4.0.A.2.368 , the phone is now working. It is totally recovered.

This method un-root the phone. Therefore, I followed this thread to root again.

Now it is rooted and all things work. ;)

Hope this help anyone having the same problem like me.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ex69:
If you have WiFi only, just download the areas you wish to navigate in using the maps labs option for local storage.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
Copilot, Navigon, and Sygic all have options to save the maps to local storage. This is assuming the maps are even available for your area of the world... Since you mentioned Papago, I'm guessing China.

You could also check to see if there is a map pack you can use in the built in navigation HTC includes as part of the car dock mode application.

Why cant the sense launcher just be ported, and yess i understand it runs through the whole system... but does tht mean we cant just have the launcher(cuz i love it, and no one makes a good knock off of it)

Edit: sorry mod i accidently put this in the wrong section, would u move to Android Q&A
[Android Apps and Games] 1Khronos:
I think Cyanogen Mod added some elements of HTC Sense to their ROM but they got a cease and desist letter from HTC. :\
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
The reason is that Sense uses a lot of HTC drivers and without them Sense won't work. Same thing for the touchwiz launcher for Samsung devices.

I haven't used it but I think adw has a sense like launcher that looked pretty good. I looked into it when I was going to try an aosp Rom.

There is any MIUI rom (GINGERBREAD or FROYO) like miuixt_final_v2 of Khals, or someone currently working on one? Because i love MIUI, the speed and the beauty...

[Milestone XT720 General] chi_Xt720:
I flashed MIUI-1.9.2-KR from J.Y.Daddy on my unlocked korean motoroi XT720.

Thanks to J.Y.Daddy for the great work he is doing. Some days ago i have never imagined 2.3.5 for my Korean motoroi.

The ROM is great looking, it looks good and smooth. But i see that the RAM usage is some times going to max. When using web browser the phone gets slow down very much.

But the battery usage is at maximum, from morning to evening the phone gets to 15% from 100%.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyM00782:
So I'm using Synergy and while trying to take HD video after Irene I noticed that the sound is never in sync with the video and it constantly freezes up, glitches or some other annoyance. I tried using the camera.apk posted here from a different phone but HD video just craps out to the home screen. It's running essentially Syn stock. No GM, no new kernel (but that doesn't help any) and nothing to interfere with the OS. Even regular 480p will mess up after 60 seconds or less. I looked back about 15 pages and it seems I'm the only schmuck with this problem :-) Dunno if Warm2.2 had/has this issue too but I'm too stuck on getting Syn to run perfect at the moment to go back. Maybe the Syn GM will do better but none of my flashables work with GM so I usually skip it. Anyone have a clue? Ty peeps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggsack:
The only thing I can think of is memory space and space on SDCard. Also, did you do the SD card format instructions as listed on Synergy post?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gab2012:
I am having the same problems, recorded a video of a car problem I had, there was like a 5 second delay with sound, on synergy.

Right now I'm wiping EVERYTHING and flashing again to see if I can solve this issue. tried King-Shooter but that rom was slow compared to synergy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyM00782:
Of course, unlike some people I do try to follow instructions :-) I don't really keep anything on my sdcard so it's got 5 gigs at least to mess with. I'm thinking maybe there might be some sort of bottlenecking going on because I do not recall having these issues long ago with Sprint lovers roms when I first got it. Idk, I'm gonna do some tinkering over the weekend now that I have the time and see if maybe I can figure something out. Glad to see at least I'm not the only one.

I saw those but im kinda worried about blowing up on me :(

May order one though of the 1980 to check it out. 3hrs can make a nice difference.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Does the 1980 battery add any bulk?

[LG Thrill 4G] TeaGuy71:
I got my 3500mAH battery finally. I can say that it adds bulk and weight. It also adds at the minimum twice the battery life. I would say I think it really is closer to three times as long. Yes it has a hump but is very comfortable to hold. With the new battery it is more like it should have been from the start with the original battery. You should not have any problems making it through a day of heavy use or two days light to normal use. This battery also takes along time to charge. I am very happy with the performance. Though I would still like to find a case the would fit the phone with this new hump on it. Lol
[LG Thrill 4G] Racing666:
I would also like to find a case to fit the extended battery back. I just got this phone and the battery life is horrible even when compared to my HTC Inspire. I want to order the 3500mAH battery and extended back, but I also don't want my phone to be naked either. It's a toss up.

[LG Thrill 4G] Newbie Android:
For anyone that is interested. Seidio has a new extended battery for the Thrill its a 3200 mah and the backing has a really nice feel. Ipaid 70 for it , but to me it was well worth it to buy from a trusted brand.
