Slightly afraid to post anything containing a question mark in this thread, but I'll take my lumps if I have to. I just created a thread in General with the intent of starting a discussion / getting some opinions regarding a question I've been mulling over. I specifically decided against posting in Q&A since I was not seeking a specific "answer," so to speak. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
My rant was regarding "fascinate general forum". But where you did put your thread (xda/general) and the type of discussion you hope to have will achieve the most traffic and not be buried in a device specific forum.

good day.

@kidserious stop trying so hard... good quality trollings will come naturally, errr eventually at some point for you....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] human-being:
I used RomManager to flash recovery 5.0.2.0, and use the GUI to select backup.

However, the phone restarted and went into the recovery with menu, no backup is performed. So I manually select Backup and Restore.

The menu then disappeared and only a black screen with a Recovery logo in the middle(a black hat with an orange arrow and the color is more vivid than it was behind the menu).

When I pressed "power bottom", it goes back to the menu.

I tried "power off", "reboot", same result.

What should I do? Should I put out the battery and reboot it?

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

Updates:

I tried several times and I did manage to power off my device by selecting power off.

But it seems the recovery is corrupted. What should I do right now?

My device is only Radio S-OFF, without installing any HBoot.

Updates:

I found the problem:

I need to scroll through the menu 3 times until I see the message "menu back button enabled".

Both 3.0.2.4 and 5.0.2.0 got the same issue.

I googled it, but can't find this problems happen to other users using official version of CWM. What happened?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
v5 is buggy for our devices, flash the most recent v3 recovery from RM and everything should work fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] human-being:
Thank you very much. However, it seems the official website only has the latest 5.0.2.0. Let me search if I can find any version 3.

One simple question: If I am only SHIP S-OFF, can I use this method to flash RECOVERY:

"Flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

or

rename it to "pc10img.zip" and use HBOOT to search and flash

or both can work on SHIP S-OFF?

Update:

I have downloaded "recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img" from HTC Vision wiki

And I have tried 3 methods to flash, all do not work:

1. rename it to "pc10img.zip" and use HBOOT to search and flash -> image error

2. Using terminal emulator and use "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" -> flash_image not found

3. "fastboot erase recovery", then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" -> both commands do not work, FAILED, remote is not allowed

What should I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If your device boots, just launch ROM Manager, scroll to the bottom and select "All ClockworkMod recoveries" and flash it there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] human-being:
Thanks.

However, it says "could not find any recovery versions left behind"

======================================

I did manage to flash 3.0.2.4 using people modified PC10IMG.zip version of recovery.

And I noticed the same problem:

I need to scroll through the menu 3 times until I see the message "menu back button enabled".

Both 3.0.2.4 and 5.0.2.0 got the same issue.

I googled it, but can't find this problems happen to other users using official version of CWM. What happened?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Just push the official 3.0.2.4 version via adb, should fix things.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] human-being:
Could you explain more how to do that?

Is this command correct?

"dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21"?

fastboot to flash does not work as I am using SHIP HBOOT

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you're S-OFF, your HBOOT shouldn't matter.

Put the recovery image your fastboot directory, boot your device into fastboot, connect your device to your computer and from the command prompt type 'fastboot devices' (it should spit back device info).

Now type 'fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img' followed by 'fastboot reboot'
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manhattan212:
I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).

I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6

I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P

www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec

And these for PPTP

www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone

I have tried the PPTP and L2TP

Both fail to connect

L2TP yields:

"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"

But no additional error message.

PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.

I connected a few times.

I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server

That seemed to let me connect a few times;

and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP

But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:

"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"

But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.

I've tried

restarting the phone.

waiting a while.

Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)

I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.

I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,

but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"

I am at a loss...

I have tried at home, on my wifi account...

The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.

The VPN service provider is also at a loss.

They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)

They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.

[Nexus S Accessories] ortega1:
For me, buying without hearing, is nonsense :-) Advice: go to store with your phone and try to lesson various hp. Remember - 19k this is maximum freq., most people doesn't hear up to 16k, especially older people. 19k, 108 db - these are only numbers.

[Nexus S Accessories] suisen:
No they don't. Volume buttons don't work at all, and the remote is iffy, sometimes double click will register and skip to the next song, sometimes not, sometimes it will pause it. Skipping back to previous obviously doesn't work at all. If you want a remote, wait or look elsewhere, these are great sounding headphones, but remote is useless on Android.

The Klipsch S4A are out in the retail channel. Picked up a pair the other day. All is now right with the world again. Using them with comply foam tips. Having more control with the remote is nice. I've used volume a couple times already. Obviously they sound just as great as the others in the S4 line. recommend.
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
as another member was mention that high freq the one goes up to you wont hear probably( and if you did probably wouldnt sound good either) look and see which one has the lowest freq since that will be the pair with better bass
[Nexus S Accessories] all steamed out:
Hi - have you now had the opportunity to spend more time with the S4A headphones?

Is the remote control fully functional? Klipsch has a disclaimer on their product page that it doesn't work properly with many Samsung Galaxy line phones such as the S2 and the Captivate.

They do not mention the Nexus S though.

I plan on getting a pair with the remote control being a big draw..

Thanks.

Is this really how it is designed - only one touch keyboard is allowed, because the hardware keyboard won't work otherwise?? Or is there a solution? Maybe a program that changes touch keyboard when the hardware keyboard is plugged/unplugged...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rrordona:
Firstly, thanks to everyone and all the information on this site. It's great to see all the options available for this phone. With that said, I've sucessfully flashed my HD2 with a DL DesireZ v3.3 final ROM on NAND. I followed the guides at the time, but am now wanting to try a newer Gingerbread ROM. I did not flash Clockwork Recover Mod at the time.

My question is if I want to reflash to the new ROM is it necessary to flash the CWM? Or can I just reflash through the MAGLDR?

Thanks

I've an old Samsung phone (S8000, a.k.a. Jet), that is surprisingly easy to tether to my computer via Bluetooth (acting as a mobile modem). Just create a connection, pair, and connect.

I'm trying to do the same with my 2.3.5 Defy. That is, connect to the internet via the Jet using bluethooth. Problem is, I don't really know how to make the actual connection. Pairing works fine, but as for dialing - I've no clue.

Any ideas how it can be achieved? The Samsung Jet is a pretty dumb phone, so I think it's really down to make the Android to mimic a computer. I tried both Google (including this forum) and the Market, with no avail...

I am looking for a way to change the screen dpi (also called density or resolution) from and have it stick during a reboot. The current 240dpi is just too big and 190 looks just right to me.

I have tried a couple apps from the market (LCD DENSITY and LCD DENSITY CHANGER) and both work, but do not stick after a reboot. When I had the HTC HD2 I know you could edit the build.prop or something similar and get it to stick, but don't know if this can be done on the Nexus or not.

Does anyone have any ideas? I've used search and surprisingly found very little pertaining to changing the density on the Nexus.

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can just edit your build.prop file. its in /system/build.prop/. i use root explorer. after changing it and saving it, all you do is reboot for it to take affect.

Use exactly 200. Its equals out a little over qhd resolutions. 960x560 or something. Someone else filled me in on his to do the math and I went from there. Trust me 200 is what you want. Anything smaller and text starts to become grainy. I worked out the math a few months ago in my epic. :)

Is there anyway to fix it? Because I like 200 dpi and want to keep it, 240 is just too much for me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] method2madness:
Download a program from the market called "LCD Density". It allows you to make a temporary dpi change that resets back to normal after a hard reboot. Just temporarily set your DPI to 240 with LCD Density (it will do a soft reboot to apply the setting), download and install what you want from the market, then just do a hard reboot and Viola.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @work:
So I was using the young turks app built in player app which kept switching my tablets orientation so I rebooted the device. After rebooting it kicked me into the recovery loader. I thought it was odd and gave the device a reboot command. It went right back into the recovery mod... after this happened a few times I cleared the device and it continued to happen. So I flashed from gtabcomb to a flashback 8.1 rom which I had sitting on my internal sd card. The problem continues :-(.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jose.celestino:
Look, I'll put it as simple as I can.

The incompatibility is most certainly because it can't be installed in your device's country, go to http://market.android.com on your laptop, login with your gmail account and click the [+] on the left box where it says "This app is incompatible with your TMN Samsung GT-I9000" and check what it says the incompatibility is.

Then

1. Download Market Enabler from the Market

2. Run Market Enabler and change the SIM issuer code to something on the US

3. Install Google Shopper

4. Restore the original SIM issuer code (reboot or whatever)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Igoritza:
Im doing some smuggling business in my country, Android tablets are very popular, and I get good price difference when buying in China and selling in my country.

First time - I bought FT2 (Superpad, Infotmicx220) and 2 units were faulty.

second time - I bought FR-809's and one unit was broken.

so, I was trying to fix it on my own, and opened the unit (no screws version, dual speaker) and it was bad soldering. the battery/SoC connection was off, so I fixed it.

now the tablet works, but I already sold all other units, so I want to experiment.

One of my broken Superpads is with internal GPS receiver, no need for GPS Antenna. so, Idea struck me - could it be possible to solder GPS unit onto the Freescale SoC .. ?

Android would handle the reception, it's all there, I just need to figure out if it's possible, and if there is even an option to solder GPS receiver onto SoC ?

that internal receiver from Superpad is awesome, and it would be awesome if I could have GPS on my FR-809 tablet.

could someone please tell me is there a "free slot" for soldering stuff. like a PCI bus on motherboards ? and, would system be able to recognize the newly soldered GPS receiver ?
