You have usable, valid alternatives so it's not a make-or-break deal.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Those who don't use Google Voice or YouMail and so on should call and call and call to get VZW and HTC motivated enough to fix it quickly. Maybe that will motivate them enough.... On the other hand, I have to think fixing VM notifications, for whatever reason, must be extremely difficult. I really don't see either company releasing an update without seriously trying to have fixed this.
[Thunderbolt General] arh2o:
People who use the Thunderbolt but do not know about leaked RUUs will not know about the VM bug. They will see their phone prompt them to update and click accept just to get rid of it. If they're in the subway, underground, or a place with no reception and someone leaves them a VM, they will have no idea it's broken until their find out the good old hard way. As you said, VZW will have their hands full with custom complaints in a few days after the OTA hits.
[Thunderbolt General] *Madmoose*:
We were speaking specifically about custom roms, not 3rd party software. Everyone has access to those alternatives, whether its a custom rom or not.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Ahhh, yes, I overlooked that aspect of the issue. One won't KNOW they've rec'd a voicemail with this update.... I doubt people randomly check their voicemail to see if there's a new VM. People only do it when their phone tells them they have a VM waiting.

I really expected VZW to acknowledge this issue in their 'announcement' and to at least say "a minor s/w update will be released in the near future to resolve this".
[Thunderbolt General] mustangl3:
Those are the details for the last ota update
[Thunderbolt General] sting5566:
The build number is the same as the leak from the other day, so it's there. Let's hope they do change the build before they push it.
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
Is there a way to not accept the ota? And just prevent it from downloading on its own? My wife's phone is stock and unrooted

[Thunderbolt General] solarpolitiks:
So where's that new dock we were supposed to get with this OTA? I flashed it and nothing...
[Thunderbolt General] mikef1182:
No new dock here either. I'm hoping the actual ota is different from this leak.
[Thunderbolt General] mrkite38:
Use google voice. Problem solved! :)
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
Guys it's possible that voice mail and other things will work. The update according to them will be 147mb, much smaller than the full rom leak. As this is an "update" the camera and voice mail may work just fine.

hi, running GB 2.3.3 baseband 2.1.71 build #3.0.1g.0.75

Using flash tool I rooted and installed xrecovery........that went easy.

So I decided to ugrade to wolf 6.0. this is where it got ugly.

I follwed the instructions to back up. Then Factory Reset (Full wipe)

Wipe Cache Partition

Wipe Dalvik Cache

no problems.

however I cannot load the zip I get this

I get the message E:Catnt mount /dev/block/macblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(device or resource busy)

E:cant mount sdcard:wolf_experia_6.0.0szip

Installation aborted

Now when I try to load the back up I get the same answer.

Someone suggested formatting the SD card so i tried that. Still no go.

So I have tried this numerous times and continuously get the same message.

Any ideas? Thank you

Hey

Whats a (perfer free) application/mobile application for using my Android phone as a USB webcam? Id understand that I would have to install something on my PC as well.

If it can be Bluetooth and/or WiFi even better :)

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
I have used something like that before, and it sucks over usb

Wifi would be preferred

Google "camera over wifi android" or search for "camera over wifi" in market
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riahc3:
But can this be used in things such as messenger and Skype?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFilthyxJesusx:
Check out Remote Web Desktop from the market, it has an option to connect via wifi and view your phones camera with your browser.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boscharun:
The best USB webcam app for android is DroidCam.

But if you have Wifi, go for IpWebcam. The WiFi option is more easier and flexible. To use with USB, you need to install adb on your computer as well. Wifi just needs an app on your phone and a client driver on your PC. See this for details on configuring both -

Android as webcam using IP Webcam and DroidCam.

Can I just use the old word (shsh) files over to my phone while its plugged in its the Fdisk and do I put the files into 'root', I have installed Superuser app/ROM Manager app onto my phone also have Gingerbreak.v.120apk on my desktop plus Superuser.apk am I lost or what and anyone willing to help but go easy on me? :(

Do you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
I have ROM Manager installed off the Market but my question is probably the one that I'm can't get the answer for which is, how do I transfer things onto my SD card cuz I have played a lot with my old iPhone 4 with mods/themes and so on but never had to write to my SD card atleast I don't think I did thats why I ask if its as easy as dragging and dropping files over to my phone while its plugged into my computer as 'use as driver'? I can't even get the CWM to work properly because it says something about 'special privillages', I have S-OFF but just want to get rooted so I can move on to the fun :). Do I need something set on my phone or installed to get going, I also put Superuser & Astro on my phone from the Market so can if you have the time just give me a few dumby steps to point me in the right direction and I am over at the Android Newzealand site which is awesome but they get most files from here and only one guy is trying to help

I am all about trying to get things done in the easiest way possible to help the people that are new to Android.

This method has worked for me but there is no guarentee that it will work for you and I am no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.

DO THE ROOTING PROCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Procedure to Root HTC Incredible S

1. Install the ADB on your computer, but before that you will have to turn on the USB debugging in your incredible S which can be turned ON by pressing the “Menu” key first then “Settings” > “Applications” > “Development”. Now here you will find an option of “USB debugging”, select the option and just accept the warning which it will pop up. It’s very important to put the device in the USB debugging and also important to go through the ADB setup process without which it’s not advised to proceed.

2. Now you will have to download the Rooting package which you will have to unzip the same and need to place in the location path c:\adb after which you will have to connect the phone to the computer.

3. Now, open the command prompt and key in the “cmd” and then you will have to make use of the change directory command so that the directory in which you have placed the rooting file can be accessed.

4. Next type in the “pushroot” and enter the same, basically this will push in the pushroot.bat file.

After this type in adb shell /data/local/tmp/getroot and after that type in adb shell and press enter.

After typing in the above commands, you will now be prompted as # after which you will have to type in /data/local/tmp/pushroot.

That’s it you have now successfully rooted the HTC Incredible S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Try reflashing CWM Recovery. Since you have S-OFF, it should work. If you get it to work, then flash (install zip from SD in CWM) the attached file and you should be rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
I appreciate the one above yours and kinda understand it but waaay too indepth maybe, I also tried yours but when I go to HBoot menu and Recovery to look for the .zip file it is no where and I plugged my device into computer and 'debugging Enabled' also set my connection as 'disk drive' to load the file to my SD card but still can't find it?? I can't believe it is this hard cuz I see many others rooted and flying away on their Incredible S 4G, I was able to get the Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my device but it just keeps loading and saying that it will reboot once successful but after 20-30mins I figured it was not going to work also I have ROM Manager installed already but as you know no Superuser previlliages yet so can't load CWM :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Have you tried searching for the zip when your device is

NOT

connected to your pc? And just so you know, you do

NOT

need superuser privileges (root) to be able to use ClockworkMod especially since you already have S-OFF. Have you tried flashing a different version of ClockworkMod? You could try using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638 to flash it from your PC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
I'll try finding it without being plugged in to pc, I put Gingerbreak.v.1.20apk on my SD card no issues so I shouldn't have an issue putting the CWM on but do you have a newer version (sorry) also do you think one of my issues is that I have a CWM on my 'Astro' file finder but the files say they don't exist so should I delete it and start over with a newer one that you may have and should I take of ROM Manager until I finish putting these files in cuz it should not be this hard others are rooted on their Incredible S 4G 2.3.3.

Also when I go to my 'Programs' on my computer 'Uninstall' it shows the SDK Tools with an 'X' beside it like it did not fully install, I don't know if I really need the ADB & SDK tools but I'll keep trying that later but I want to try your methods as well cuz as I mentioned it should not be this hard to root my phone right but I have to go to Doctors so I will check in later and keep trying :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You are not supposed to open the image. Download Android Flasher, connect your device to your pc, run Android Flasher, select recovery (at the side), find the image file you downloaded, select it, click ok (and again if necessary), and it'll do the rest.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
Question, I drag and drop files over to my phone while plugged in to my SD card but everyone says to the root folder I just don't have a 'root' folder so one guy said to drop the files into the very first one and that is what I did with Gingerbreak.v1.20apk but it just says its rooting and will reboot device when done? After 3 attempts each at 15-25mins the wheel is still spinning so am I putting it in the right spot, Gingerbreak does show up in my apps drawer but the unzipped versions of CWM or Superuser never show up on my device even when I go to 'recovery' through Revolutionary to unzip it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Did you read/understand my previous post?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
Kinda but how does that have anything to do with rooting my Incredible S (sorry) its just that I'm new to HTC devices and I've been told that I have to be rooted to put ROM themes on my device and I have S-OFF, thats not enough is it? I tried the guy above yous method of ADB but my computer does not 'recognize that path', I did exactly what his video says but again is either of these methods going to get me 'rooted cuz all I want to do is start enjoying my phone :( plus your saying I don't have to have 'Superuser Permissions' to use CWM?? Sorry bro if I'm being difficult but I just want to be rooted already and have you heard of this angermod or what ever its called, like Gingerbreak or something?

HELP PLEASE lol, thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Forget about Gingerbreak. The tool (and instructions) is to flash the custom recovery (ClockworkMod) to your device. I said this before, and I'll say it again, using ClockworkMod recovery

DOES NOT

require root. You are going to root your device by using Clockwork to flash the file attached in post #5. After flashing that file, your device will be rooted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
One more question (sorry) the one I did download the other day was supposed to be CWM but it has all kinds of other files with it like 13 files including 'SuperOneClick' also suv1/v2/v3 plus 'busybox' but don't see cwm anywhere so anyway do I use the 'Android Flasher' and flash all of them like the whole folder or each one individually?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
In the CWM image file, there are like 13 files that came with it like suv1/v2/v3 plus busybox and SuperOneClick so which or all of these files do I flash with Android Flasher?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
Let me put it this way and not to try your patients cuz I appreciate all of this and your time but what are the main files I should flash using 'Android Flasher' so I will be rooted, I do understand how to do this but I want to make sure I put in what I need so later this weekend or sometime this week I can go on to flashing all kinds of ROMS and themes to my device?

Thanks, TheCrow
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
DO NOT EXTRACT THE IMAGE FILE

. You are supposed to use Android Flasher to flash the image file itself. Not the things in it. The image file is to stay as it is (Not Extracted).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
O.k so just to be clear, all I need out of all of this is this one and only image file flashed and I will be rooted once I follow the rest of his instructions on that page right? The CWM will be in it and what about 'Superuser' permissions, I am sorry for aggrivating you just want to do the right things and not get lost so can you list the only file or files I need to flash that will allow me to be rooted in the end process cuz as I mentioned all I want is to be rooted and ready to move on and this thread can be done lol

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Yes. Once this file is flashed and you follow the rest of the instructions, you will be rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
O.k that worked the file went in and than it brought me to the HBoot page of Revolutionary so now do I have to go and flash the unzipped file of su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip or am I rooted now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
DO NOT UNZIP THAT EITHER

. It should remain as a "zip" file. Just choose recovery, then click "install zip from sd", then "choose zip" and select it. Make sure the file is placed directly on your SD card (not in any folder).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
everytime I download the su-file it comes out looks like a .rar (folder) like and not a .zip and the Android Flasher won't read a .rar so what do you recommend cuz I have both WinZip and Winrar but it keeps coming out as a .rar sorry almost there also when I open up A-F I choose 'recovery' but when I go to desktop where I have it sitting it is not there in the options?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Just change the file extension to zip. Also, you're not going to use Android Flasher to flash it. You are going to use CWM Recovery to flash it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
If I could hit the THANKS button more I would bro cuz your the MAN, sticking with me and knowing everything to do is just AWESOME!! Don't mind my happiness, so again just to state I am now ROOTED right cuz I've just done everything you said and all went great its installed and thats what buddy says on the on the full discription of 'rooting' page :) Oh yeah and in my apps drawer the Superuser app is there and I already had ROM Manager so just run that now, to finish everything?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
One last question (I promise) :), I don't have to back up my current 'System ROM' like if I've never put on a ROM yet right cuz I'm going to be putting on the 3.0 Bliss ROM and don't want any mess? Either way I know that everytime after, I have to clear/clean cache through ROM Manager and all that before each and every new ROM so just want to be sure on that last thing also I can do all of it through RM after I flash a ROM to my sd card and is it better to just do a Back up through RM or through recovery/NANDROID back up?

Thanks Bro:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It is recommended that you make a backup before flashing (no matter what rom you are using as long as it works). So basically, make a backup of your current rom in case. You can do the backup at anytime you wish before flashing the new rom. I would suggest doing it via CWM Recovery by selecting nandroid (then backup). When you put the rom on your SD card, I also recommended flashing it straight from CWM recovery. Rom Manager doesn't work well (with that process) on some devices, so it will be better to stay on the safe side and flash the rom via CWM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
Bro I did exactly what you mentioned and did the nandroid back up through cwm than after it was done I rebooted than when back in cwm wiped cache than loaded the 3.0 bliss zip ROM from my sd card it said all complete and done so I rebooted, now I'm locked on my HTC boot up screen 'quietly brilliant' it keeps doing it over and over and over so how do I get out of this mode? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCrow1372:
I even took the battery out and put it back in but comes back on with the main boot up again rebooting not going off the HTC boot screen :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
All you have to do is place a new rom on your SD card (use the card reader on your PC), boot into CWM Recovery, then flash the new rom. You do not need to backup your current rom since it does not work. Just do a full wipe and flash the new rom.
