This isnt my first time loading a build via SD, I formatted my SDcard before putting the new build on it but it wont load. Ive tried two different builds. My radio is up to date and I extracted all the files to the root of the SD, its the only file on the SD. But it just sticks at the boot image (HTC) Ive left it for 2 hours. I even went as far as reverting the phone to factory settings. One thing Ive noticed is that the rootfs file is still zipped when i try to unzip it i get this error msg saying winzip only supports ISO image files

What can I do to get around this. It sucks because I even tried to put back the first build I had on it and even now that wont load.

what rom do you try? did you put android FOLDER to sd card (not its contents)?

why do you try to unrar rootsf?

hard reset didnt work, and im using windows 6.5

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

im not using a ROM im not flashing anything I tried using mccm hd v1 and americanandroid and i extracted the files straight to the sd card. Plus the sd card was formatted so there was no other files on there.

I tried to unrar rootfs because it was still zipped I thought EVERYTHING was suppose to be unzipped
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maw5323:
ok so now i tried copying individual files to the root. so as soon as you access my sd card u see haret and all that. now when I try to boot it up the android htc logo comes up, but then the phone just restarts to windows
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
MCCM HD v1? Do you mean v6? Also, copy the Android FOLDER to the root of the SD card. Not individual fles.

Hello fellow Android users! I need your help, I'll explain. I work at Best Buy with the Mobile department. We sell phones from all the carriers and in an effort to help out our customers better understand their phones I was thinking about making an Android phone handout for them to take home with them after their purchase.

Since Best Buy sells all the carriers, there are going to be differences between carriers and also manufacturers with the alterations they implement in the Android operating system.

So what I was hoping to get from the community were ideas about the basics of Android that spanned across carrier and manufacturer.

So for example, I've thought of explaining the notification bar. I can put some screen shots and quick details about its uses. Also I wanted to maybe give some help internet links, I thought of market.android.com for the market online.

What else can you guys give me to put on this handout. I'll probably try to keep it to about a page worth of material - probably front and back.

I just need the basics, please help me to brainstorm!

Also, I think a essential write up on the pros of I-phone vs Android And the cons.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lupus_:
Hello,

I recently got my Flyer and been doing some document viewing and editing. I discovered that Polaris Office apparently does not support some special characters, specifically germanic umlaute (ä, ö, ü and so forth). I can neither view nor write those characters.

Is there a known workaround/fix to that? I'd like to use Polaris due to the Pen Support. So far I've converted the docs i want to view and annotate into PDF.

I've tried setting the system language to German (I'm using a UK Flyer so it's "German (United Kingdom)"), which didn't help. I can use those characters normally in other text editing tools, like the Notes app.

Thanks

Update/Fix: After Flashing the FlyHigh Custom Rom today, Polaris Office shows and writes those characters perfectly. It works with system language set to English as well as if set to German, so that was not the issue.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] blue blue man:
If i use Swedish stock keyboard, I can type characters such as äöå, ü if Long press u. Everything shows fine in Polars. I don't know why it doesn't work with you. Have you tried to restart (not fast turn off; turn on) the device or even reset to factory settings?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lupus_:
Thanks for your suggestion, but that didn't change anything. I can write and view those characters just fine in other applications.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] BacchusFLT:
I have the same problem; when reading PDF with Swedish characters they are simply missing in the text.
[Windows 8 General] Lemcott:
Just a list of some small things I've seen wrong with Win 8 so far. Go ahead and share anything you've noticed, or if you know a fix for someone else's problems!

cant rearrange tabs in chrome (the second you do, it splits off and create a new window, that cant be merged back with the original window)

never tells you how to exit a metro UI app. found out that you mouse over the bottom left corner.

all metro ui apps never seem to close for me, they are just forced into a "suspended" state. (I've been closing them through task manager)
[Windows 8 General] GazaIan:
apps dont even suspend for me. How do you suspend them? they just kept running and annoying the hell out of me -.-
[Windows 8 General] fmorel:
They stay in the alt-tab switcher, but in reality they're just cached in memory. They don't use any CPU when suspended.

If you have touch, swiping from the right brings up the charms, which allow you to go back to the start screen, among other things. If you don't, bringing the mouse to the bottom-left corner of the screen does the same thing. Hitting the windows key on the keyboard will also bring up the start screen. What I really hate is hitting Settings on that little popup menu, and having to go all the way to the right to connect to a wifi network.

The only program I've had issues with so far is Firefox. I had to disable hardware acceleration because it kept rendering badly and freezing the system. I installed Office and Quicken, and they've been working great so far. I'm gonna be using this instead of Windows 7 for a while.

[Windows 8 General] Krshaw18:
I find that an easy exit from metro and such to be the windows key. Some problems I found is that my mouse track pad on my laptop doesn't scroll along the side anymore, which is starting to get bothersome. And closing apps is awkward.
[Windows 8 General] randomblame:
I'm annoyed by the fact that the metro ie and the desktop ie are two different things. They act as two different programs - probably because they are. Aparently the metro version will be plug in free - no flash - wtf? It kind of ruins the point of running a desktop os on a mobile device when you have to switch to the non finger friendly ui in order to get full functionality. You fail microsoft. Hopefully Mozilla will release a metro-fied version of firefox. I hate ie anyways.

I'm trying to make this more finger friendly. I've got it running very nicely on my aspire 5610 hybrid franken notebook (the motherboard came from a european version with a geforce 7600) I installed the synaptics multi touch track pad drivers but it's a bit sluggish using gestures. Two finger scroll is slow and imprecise and three finger swipe is hit and miss but it is better than nothing. I want to reach out and touch this os. Anyone know of a good way to add multi touch to a notebook? I've been hunting for a 15.4in capacitive overlay to tuck in the screen bezel but can't find one. Other than that all I see are camera based solutions that seem a little iffy...
[Windows 8 General] thepyro6:
This is Windows

I just mentioned this in another post, thought I would re-post for convenience.

alt+f4 closes metro apps and will shutdown windows. Just like it has in previous versions of windows. When you close apps you will need to window key back to the start screen but the apps wont be cached or suspended.
[Windows 8 General] xfullmetal17:
I have to disagree with the above, Alt+F4 does NOT close Metro apps. (at least not for me.)

Metro is most definitely a separate application, since Win+D forced it away and gave me the desktop I know and love. Since Xbox Live is coming I would guess eventually the Start screen is going to see some form of Kinect integration... (which is sad because I don't really like Kinect for more than perhaps pausing/resuming Netflix)

And as for problems, anyone tried to access a folder you have to give permission for first? I end up hanging Explorer because I can't click "Continue" on that dumb permission folder. And with the "new" control panel I can't find where to turn UAC off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
My wife got her hands on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I have to admit: it's pretty nice. I won't go into the hardware differences, because those can't be changed, obviously (although the GT really does feel good in the hand; I was actually quite surprised at how nice it felt when I first used it). But, here are two things that are VERY nice in the GT that Asus could... well... borrow:

1. Although the TouchWiz color scheme sometimes borders on cartoonish (although rarely; it's actually quite elegant in most places), it really does brighten things up. When I go from the GT to my TF, I find the stock Honeycomb color scheme very dark and depressing. It's refreshing when I borrow the GT.

2. The TouchWiz email client is outstanding. I mean, simply outstanding. Again, it's more attractive, but even more important it supports some much-needed features. Sorting, conversation mode, and search (!) are all there, and it makes a HUGE difference in the experience.

I would love to see Asus work on some of this. I still love my TF, particularly with the dock, but I have to admit that if I were looking today for a tablet only, I'd have to give some serious consideration to the GT even at a higher price. It's a nicely made device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Yuretsz:
I'd also really be happy to see quick launch and close buttons at the task list at my TF.

This would be really cool.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mister Locke:
Close buttons on the task list all the way. Probably my most wanted feature out of everything.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Does the galaxy tab have close buttons on the recent apps list?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Used the GT yesterday for a bit. I really, really want that email client. The stock client now seems so threadbare to me...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
Sorry but Asus or Sumsung are just hardware makers you should come with this demand to google actually becouse they obviously both use honeycomb 3.2 (or 3.1) so it's all some small software modification that can be transform to the TF..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Yes, but I think the tiny modifications are made by the software section of Samsung/Asus. Asus left Honeycomb pretty much the exact same way Google intended it (with some minor tweaks, I think).

I know people will either hate JD or love it. I am now one of those people who hates it... I tried it out yesterday but it killed my phone within 5 hours and I was using it less than what I usually do.

Now all I do is run 2g (edge) unless I need the 4g(glorified 3g tmo)

My question is, is there an app that turns my phone to 2g while on idle (screen off) and then back to 4g when the screen is on?

p.s. running nightly with faux kernel (cant modify cpu)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Juice Defender PLUS in extreme mode.

BUT NOT THE VERSION IN MARKET - unless they've updated it with the Beta version.

The Market version hasn't worked on the G2x since the update to Gingerbread. Search the G2x apps thread for JD. There's a link to the developers beta version. It works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mightymike889:
wait so that app allows u to have ur fone on 2g. while being idle!! thats a sick idea i never thought of that!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Yeah, it kills your data when the screen is off. Only allows calls and text. You set up the intervals you want it to connect to collect email and such while idle. Has a night mode that allows you to set the time from start to finish when data is off. I set mine from Midnight to 5 AM with data collect every 1.5 hours. Also can control you WiFi. Check it out.

You need to use the latest beta version from market to work with stock rom.

And if you buy the ultimate version and select advance profile, it has an option to switch to 2g when screen is off.

After first getting my Atrix I used tenfar's recovery to install one of the first Proms. I cant remember which now.

I have since used Atrix ATTT 2.3.4 Pudding preroot SBF through RSD lite to update to 2.3.4. I would now like to go to CM7.

I have installed the latest Rom Manager and it says I successfully updated to the latest CWM. When I try to reboot into recovery - I get

"Failed to boot 2"

"Starting RSD"

The only way i've been able to fix it is to reflash the preroot SBF.

What am I doing wrong?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
welcome to the club my friend. you have to unlock the bootloader and your golden

more info. if you follow the thread more. you will need to run fast boot to obtain this. once you run fastboot. type in fastboot oem unlock. it will then give you the uniquee device id.

power down remove battery if you have. restart the phone in fastboot mode. type in fastboot oem unlock plus the unique id number let it run through process. phone will say unlocked when it reboots. then go ahead and install rom manager and flash the cwm. once installed reboot using rom manager to get into cwm and flash rom

Is there a way to tlk and use the internet like the iPhone for at&t, if a Dev can get this to work that would be awesome for all of us :)
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
great question. the difference between att talk and surf with sprint talk and no surf is due to the difference in radio technology.

sprint & verizon use cdma, att and tmo use gsm. gsm allows data and voice to travel over their radio at the same time while cdma does not.

the work arounds for this are to use one of the other radios in the device, either wifi or 4G (wimax on sprint) will allow the user to talk and surf at the same time.

not sure there is anything a developer can due to remedy this issue since the root cause is due to hardware/technology limitations.

hope that helps!

Right now you can do it if you're on WiFi...but you will not see it without being on WiFi any time soon bud...Problem is the radio...

[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
Its not just iPhone. Its T-Mobile and att. Their android phones do it also. Its a GSM thing. Sprint is cdma rev a. And use the same frequency for data and voice so its not possible yet but with the introduction of rev b it opens up the possibilities of it becoming true. No mod can be done unfortunately to fix this. The only way it would work right now is if u were using either wifi or wimax then u could talk and surf. So if that diner had free wifi then u to could sit down with ur evo 3d andbdo exactly the same thing as that iPhone ur envying.

free the dirk
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Depending on what Sprint has to say October 7th it may not be an issue for us anymore. Hopefully that will be the case.
[HTC EVO 3D] petermg:
I was able to do this on the MyTouch 4G on T-Mobile, they use GSM just like ATT.
[HTC EVO 3D] locust43:
That's sorta correct.. But not completely...

Actually GSM doesn't support simultaneous voice and data, UMTS does. And the way UMTS supports SVDO is because BOTH voice and data travel in the same channel and is separated by code.

CDMA and EVDO are actually two different networks altogether technically. Voice travels over 1xRTT while data can travel over 1X or EVDO.

Seeing as there are two different networks, the phone's chipset must be able to talk to both networks at the same time.

Verizon has 1 handset that supports Simultaneous Voice and Data on 3G EVDO Rev. B, the HTC Thunderbolt because of the chipset in the phone and it works great.

Sprint doesn't have any SVDO capable phone's so therefore you can't talk and surf unless on WiMax or WiFi. Its all handset based, not network dependent.
