[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaineerduke:
Has anyone tried putting a network monitor directly on the phone? I was going to attempt this but am not really having any luck. Since WP7 is built on CE7, I figured that I could compile the netlog utility from the platform builder and put it on the phone to log the traffic and then send the file to my PC to look at it with wireshark or whatever. The advantage here would be that you could see all the traffic, not just when it is plugged into the PC. The disadvantage obviously would be that you'd have to have a custom ROM with the programs on it already.

Unfortunately, I only have the CE6 platform builder at the moment so that is the DLL/exe that I am able to build. The netlog dll and the netlogctl exe build fine for the CE7 build target, but when I try to send commands to the driver I get an error on the DeviceIOControl call.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOLDIER57:
I have an EVO 4g that was rooted using the unrevoked method. The phone was active on one of my other accounts and I deactiveated it. In an attempt to flash a new rom on it before activating it for another line..i accidentally ran the "S-ON" tool and now I cant activate the phone with sprint. The tech advised me to go to the sprint store, its running MikFroyo rom(cant recall which version), unsure of what to do. Now I have "S-ON", should I flash with PC36IMG.zip file then try to update using stock over wi-fi then try to see if it activates?..any and all suggestions are welcome
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sclarktay4:
What happens when it tries to activate. Does it try to do the hands free activation and then fails? That happened to me. I had to call sprint and tell them my hands free activation failed. They had me to hard reset the phone and they sent another attempt once the phone was powered on. That phone was rooted as well and it finally activated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOLDIER57:
Its not able to complete the hands free activation. The circle keeps chasing itself on the screen and it says cant activate, error message 1012
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sclarktay4:
did you tell that to the sprint rep?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sclarktay4:
This should be in the Q & A section as well. You would probably get alot more assistance there.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nhialor:
Ok, I have a 16gig card, and had about 250 MB free, went to check, and over the space of a few days, not having taken many photos or videos, or downloading much, I was down to like 35MB, looking through my SD Card, I have loads of files and folders which I don't know what they are, some of them very small (CDAInfo on Root of SD Card, MEMSTICK.IND on Root of SD Card, etc. etc.) but some of them are quite large.

Also, looking through my Xperia Play games launcher, I have many apps that are doubled, and clicking on both opens it, so it's not just an empty container. Looking at my folders on the SD Card (.android_secure), I have things like flashplayer-1.asec and flashplayer-2.asec, each one is 16MB, and I have many of these duplicates for different apps and games. Now, I think that the .android_secure folder is used for when you move your apps to the SD Card, and I'm assuming that this occured when I flashed a new rom and reinstalled the apps (the data was created on the phone memory and then when I went to move it over, it created the 2nd version) but what I want to know is, how to AVOID this happening when I flash a new Rom, or basically, how do I avoid things like this happening.

Thanks,

Niall
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nhialor:
Just went through the .android_secure deleting one of the multiples then checking if it still ran, it did, so I decided to delete one of all of them, and bam, all apps still run, and I'm up to 1GB of free space. The .asec files are what the phone moves to the memory card when you select move to SD in the settings. Obviously, if you are flashing a new rom it doesn't delete them, and then just creates a duplicate. Some old games that I don't play (have completed them) were still in there, some of them ridiculous sizes (Battle Bears - 47MB). Removed about 20 or so off the .asec files, most of them duplicates, some of them were unused apps, and am back up to 1Gig free.

Chuffed

Anyways, anyone know a way to avoid this happening, and also, as a word of warning to everyone...keep an eye out for things like this :-)

Niall
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Have you been flashing roms and not deleting your old .android.secure folder? That will happen, you should delete it before you reflash :p

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
It is a desktop client (package management on the phone is another topic) that aggregates existing repositories (my own basic format - currently no APT or NuGet) and provides a way to distribute homebrew applications in a more convenient manner.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] moe dope:
this looks great! but wheres the download file?

it said "This project has no releases."
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
As I said in the main post, the binaries are not there yet, but you can always compile the source code yourself. Binaries will be available this weekend.

Here is the latest changeset.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] amannigam:
Looks really good.

Downloaded,compiled,ran,downloaded the test apps. IT WORKS!! Really nice concept. I do hope you make some documentation for it. For all I know, this could be the next big thing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] oOp:
Thanks. Compiled it and ran it. Works.

What i'd like to see is some kind of

- rating.

- possible to not show only screenshots but maybe short videos to demonstrate app.

- possibility to upload also source code of the xaps, so developers can decide if they want to brew this app by themselves or install "unchecked" xaps ;)

thanks so far. i think youre on a good way!

ps: i remember last year there were big discussions microsoft wanted allow homebrew and integrate this into marketplace. hello? chevron? hello? ;) so hopefully youre work is not for nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
@amannigam @oOp thanks for the feedback! It works at a very basic level - many more improvements have to be made, but that's going to happen over the weekend.

What specific documentation would you need for it?

Also, ratings sounds like a good idea. The only thing is I need to think of is a way to write those to the repository the user is exposing. Or, I could simply create a central repo/pack-ID link database on my own server that will keep a record of app ratings (can cause some problems, but I am plainly thinking of a PoC now).

I appreciate the feedback!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
mwang's post about the DFT 7220 release says that the ROM includes the ability to install XAP's over the net. Homebrew like this but on phone. Just thought you'd be interested in that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Great concept! I'll have to join in on this. I'll be setting up a repository later on.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] amannigam:
What I feel that this project can go a really long way. So try making docs for everything that is being added. So people never lose track of anything. Also info of how to create a repo and adding the repo to app will help them jump to it easy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Lidanh:
Looks great! c# WPF, nothing beats this.

1. The new Mango hack allows downloading and installing XAPS directly from the OS (without a PC connected). Maybe we can use the infrastructure of your PC app and make another mobile app?

2. How can I contribute?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
Awesome! Let me know what the URL is when it's ready.

Will try to do that. I will put together a tool to automatically create a repo in the next hours and will make it available by tomorrow. It will be bundled as a part of MetroPack. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you all!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vladtdr:
yes, pls make it into a phone app:D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] amannigam:
Also tell us how can we contribute to the project. Yes we will test it. But apart from that if you need any help in development or anything. Do tell us.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vladtdr:
the weekend is almost over and still no release?

:(

And you have my full support also
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
Coming this evening (Central Time). Have to do some late adjustments and bug fixes.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
Got done with the repository builder tool. I decided to integrate it with MetroPack, so it's work in progress now - you can see it as RepoDev, I need to port the rest tomorrow (bindings and actual export).

For those who do not want to download the source code, the binaries will be available here. The current binaries are very raw (functionality-wise it is a PoC). Once I integrate the repo builder tool, I will make sure that packages are actually installed on the device.

Also, if you are creating a repo, make sure you read this first:

http://metropack.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Creating a new repository

There is a breaking change related to the version format.

[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Did you root your phone and install 4EXT
[HTC Incredible S] ballhead43:
yes i rooted
[HTC Incredible S] Zoeriva:
Hello, you must install a ruu rom and start again your rooting proces.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Locate the 4EXT recovery on the developers page, flash that than try to re-flash the ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] ballhead43:
incredible s

the only screen i can get to is Revolutionary HBOOT cant get into recovery or do anything thing else im stuck.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
When you S-Off with Revolutionry, did you let it install ClockworkMod recovery? As has been previousy posted, you need to flash the EXT4 recovery in the Development section by using the PG32IMG.zip method and let HBOOT install it. Also, try booting into HBOOT without having the phone connected to the USB.

As long as you have S-Off and can get into HBOOT you should be able to out of this small issue.
[HTC Incredible S] ballhead43:

i tried everything i know to do, cant get it to work. i found many files 4EXT recovery changed file names to PG32IMG.zip put on root of sd card the only thing i got was no image and or wrong image.
[HTC Incredible S] ballhead43:
incredible s

incredible s710a, need help dont know what else to do.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The file needs to be copied to the root of the SD card. Also, check the SD card and make sure the filename is not PG32IMG.zip.zip.
[HTC Incredible S] ballhead43:
incredible s

i checked everything even formatted the sd card to FAT32 image file reads PG32IMG.zip goes through the steps reading but nothin happens.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

i did that i even formatted the sd card FAT32 rename the image file to PG32IMG.zip checking image no image found or wrong image what i got. do i have the right file, what is the correct file to rename
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I would use this one:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=660749&d=1311195955

The only other option would be to start the phone with the USB disconnected and then select the FASTBOOT option from the menu and then connect the phone to the USB. If it then says FASTBOOT USB, you can then you can try using the FASTBOOT Flash Recovery command from your PC.

Hi ,

I've recently bought an SGS2 and I am very pleased of its power. Although , when I am playing an mkv file or watching youtube HD too much I realize that the processor overheats and I am afraid that this might damage the phone. So I want a simple answer from the smart guys from here :

Can I actually burn (= real damage) the phone if I watch a full mkv on my HD TV ? I mean a full length movie (over 90 minutes).

Thank you in advance for your answers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddada:
i don't know, but if you want to make your phone stop overheating then do the following:

1- Root your phone (CF-Root is the easiest but you can root it however you like)

2- NoFrills cpu control or setcpu from the market.

3- set max cpu to 800 mhz and govenor to conservative.

4- all done no more overheating....

800 is enough for almost all tasks but if you want max fps on an hd game then set it back to default (1200mhz and govenor: ondemand)

Si sa nu zici ca nu sunt băiat de gașca poftim răspuns.

Ăla de sus are dreptate folosește setcpu la 800 in modul conservative sa te uiți la filme

I watched 2 720p movies on a long trip one after the other, however ir was while on flight mode, if you want ti stream the movies, your battery will be empty before you even finish the movie

What you are looking there os the extra heat from mhl charging And hdmi transfer, as long as temperature does not get over 50C (I asume ir can resist that) you might be safe. I never seen my phone over 43C, so i wonder what hot means to you.

Daca totusi , instalez acel kernel , pierd garantia (banuiesc ca aparatul trebuie rootat). Daca ma insel , corecteaza-ma te rog. Sunt 800 de mHz suficienti pentru a rula un mkv fara sa frameze telefonul ? Folosesc si un adaptor MHL.

Oricum telefonul e in garantie si am si asigurare la el , dar n-as vrea sa se arda aiurea ;)

I know there are a few threads about keyboards already but none have given a solution to keyboard with integrated mouse/ touchpad.

I bought the version of this that has the grid rather than offset keys. The keyboard is fine and connects easily however as others have reported, the 'mouse' works but there is no pointer onscreen, meaning you don't know where you're pointing it!

Is there a way to get a pointer onscreen without having a separate mouse?

I am getting an extended battery for a non rooted phone. Is there any way to calibrate this without recovery?

Thanks for help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
The best way would be to bump-charge your battery (with your phone off and no more than 2 bumps) then turn your phone on and use it until it goes down to 0.

This ultimately calibrates it. It may not be perfect after this, but after a few days it should be well calibrated.

The more you use it the more it calibrates.
