Definitely get it. I bought one during the firesale and had doubts about webOS. Now I love it. I also have a Asus Transformer but I have only used it 2 or 3 times since I got the TP. I basically gave the transformer to my wife. Now I love WebOS. It is definitely more user friendly than honeycomb. I wish there were more apps, but there is still an app for pretty much everything. I hate to see how kill what palm worked so hard for, but that's the only way I would have ever experienced it, because I damn sure wasn't going to pay $600 for a tp.

Definitely get it and just give webOS a try. If you like Android I think you will be impressed with webOS. It has a look and feel like Android with a skin rather than a full separate OS. If someone could make Android apps run on the Touchpad I wouldn't be able to find a single bad thing to say about a TP at all.

Also please don't think I am any sort of palm/hp/webOS fanboy trying to troll. I am truly and Android fan and will always be, webOS has just grabbed more of my attention in the tablet space, for now. That could all change after ICS is released.

Good luck, and definitely get it. Worse case u don't like it and could still sell it for a small profit.

lol when i went to Android i kept trying to swipe up to change apps.

Hey guys! hope ur all doing well

so i am looking for a nice tablet and i feel for the hp touchpad. The problem is: Its not sold in my country so i have to buy it from Ebay. I am now wondering is 260$ worth buying the HP Touchpad? It will be 300$ including shipping, thats the cheapst i could find on Ebay. I was looking for the motorola Xoom but its very expensive..with shipping it could be 450-500$ for the Xoom. So help me out plz, should i buy it?! never owned a tablet before, and from looking at the reviews, WebOS looks awesome, so smooth and then u'll always have the chooice to put android (i think with ICS it will become even better when the source code is released) what is your thoughts? hit me!
[TouchPad General] joshts0:
I agree. I like Webos.. Its pretty.. Easy to use.. I like the multitasking concept.. Though I just added perfect task switcher in Android which sorta gives you the same thing though not as good. Android is clunky compared to it.. Because its made for for small screens.. But I still love it and haven't booted webos since cm7 lol...

[TouchPad General] cbronson41:
Same here! Still getting used to the onscreen "soft keys" as well
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
At the fire sale price or close to it, it's a no brainer. Not even worth asking...

Worse comes to worse if you absolutely hate WebOS, you can always sell it and at very least get you money back.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HieuKy02:
I am using TMW v3.0 ROM, but I like the bootup/shutdown of GC v2 ROM. I think I did replacing all stuff below correctly from the GC ROM to TMW ROM, however I only get the animation for bootup/shutdown, but no sound.

Replacing:

1. PowerOn.snd and PowerOn.wav files in /system/etc/.

2. bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/.

3. shutdown folder in /system/media/video/.

4. shutdown.ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui/.

Could someone tell me how to get the sound up and running. BTW, my phone is on ringing (not silent/vibrate).

Thanks,

Hieu
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HieuKy02:
How do I remove or replace the bootup logo where it said "T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Samsung", the screen that you see first after power on the device and before you see the custom room bootanimation?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
You can't, that's the bootloader and if it gets messed up you got yourself a bricked phone :(

Edit:

There is a way to do this, I booted up my G1 last night and it had a custom image. I remember a program used to size pictures in windows and then flash from the SD card, I'll dig around the G1 forums for it, hopefully it's compatible

Ok I have checked the threads and there is yet to be an answer on this question, So I will try with this thread, Droid 2 GB rooted the hard key and keyboard lights come on and off at will, Yes if you reboot they will come back on for awhile but will not stay, Yes I know its a bug in GB 2.3.3, the app backlight does not solve anything, and yes I have flashed 3 times and it did not fix anything, Thus is there or not a fix , patch , script to addresss this issue, it drives me crazy ! ty for your time and excuse my lil rant ! :)
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I don't know of a fix, but if I turn my screen off and then back on, the backlight will come back on as well.

cant access moto droidx recovery on unrooted

trying to access stock recovery mode on my wifes droidx. I have phone turned off, I hold power button and home button till moto logo displays, I release power button, then triangle with exclamation displays, then I release home button and press search once but the screen never changes to recovery mode for 10 minutes so I pull the battery to turn thephone off.

what gives? am I missing a step?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Try pressing the volume buttons when at the screen with a the exclamation mark.
[Droid X General] zash1:
nope... that did not work either
[Droid X General] zash1:
called motorola about it.... they said I did all the correct things.

they told me to send phone in for warranty... warranty runs out nov 29th..

verizon will give me a trade in allowance of 57 bucks
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I would send it in for warranty, just be sure that if you do that you SBF the phone and format data/cache beforehand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmanyati:
Good day folks,

I am in a bucket of hot soup at the moment with my Galaxy S.

Firstly, my Micro USB port has decided to call it a day (I have tried the alcohol cleaning trick and all other "fixes" at this stage I am contemplating getting a new MicroUSB port and installing it) . At the moment the only thing it can do is charge the phone and so perhaps I should be grateful for small mercies.

However, No USB means download mode is now unavailable to me.

This also impacts rooting with a PC. A lack of root means I cannot update my gps.conf, I cannot install a custom recovery and I cannot install custom roms. I also cant back-up or re-install my apps using titanium. I also cant use googletalk 1.3+ wth voice and video calling.

Secondly, my Internal SD card is mounted by the system and recognised as "USB storage". I can still use most apps even though its mounted with the wrong name however certain apps looking for Internal SDcard cannot find my storage. So I need to somehow change that. How do I do that?

For an individual used to running custom roms and tweaking my device any which-way I please, I find my galaxy s very unattractive right now.

I got into this situation when I was coming from Jetpack and I was moving to Simplicity. Simplicity just would not boot. At this point my phone was stuck with no ROM and after sitting and fiddling for about 5 hours with a several micro usb cables and plugging and unplugging my phone odin recognised it for one last flash and i was able to get stock JVT on it. I lost Clockword Mod 3 and so now stuck with stock recovery and thats as good as having no recovery :(

I really dont want to buy a new phone till I can make a decision between Nexus Prime and Galaxy S3. Im a firm believer in as close as possible to a 2 year phone cycle and my galaxy s has just turned 1 year 3 months.

So if i can root this thing I have now and survive another 6-9 months I'll be a happy man.

Help? Suggestions?

Cheers guys
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
You say you got stock on it... Any particular reason that you cant give it in for repair? SGS is 2 year warranty as remember...

Also crazy idea, if it is possible, turn cf-root into a update.zip and get it signed LOL. Or check to see if you can use cyanogenmod, and work your way around from there?

Lastly which you should probably do first, another computer?? (or did i miss that?) Oh and check drivers, reinstall them.. (I dont know what fixes you have tried...i just know you've tried)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmanyati:
Really didnt know that about the warranty. Not practical for me as the country I bought it in is different to the country in which I reside. And Samsung Here wont support/honour the warranties from There yeah what a pain :). When I bought the phone I semi-bricked it and had to ship it back and forth to the other country. At the time it was worth it because the shipping values were less than 25% the value of the phone. However now shipping would be almost 100% of the current value of the phone.

:D

Im looking right now.... will let you know how it goes.

List of "fixes" include amongst others,

1) Different makes of micro-usb cables.

2) Different computers, 3 to be exact.

3) Cleaning the USB port , alcohol trick , scratching with a wire trick , tissue paper trick.

4) Driver un/re-install on all three machines.

5) Rebooting phone interspersed with varying combinations of cable, computer, cleaning steps all to no avail.

All in all, the ownership of this galaxy has been a bit of a pain because I got it within a week of its release and it turns out it was part of that notorious batch that had no 3BR hence the intial semi-bricking.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmanyati:

Tried that and it didnt work :) thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellodzulz:
Yeah i did some research its probably a moisture problem. Idk why and how it got it. It seems that i can charge but driver failed to install/tried reinstall still fail. Any solutions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmanyati:
It is definitely a moisture problem. I managed to change the USB port and that didnt make a different but I also noticed that my board is starting to corode.

So i tried to cleaning the coroded bits gently with a piece of cloth soaked in alcohol and I had one last flash and so I finally managed to root and get clockwork mod.

After doing a lot of research I discovered that this galaxy s is very prone to moisture issues.

1) Its not well put together so moisture does tend to get into it.

2) Moisture from your hands

3) The daily heating and cooling effects of sun. Especially if you live in a humid environment. The moisture condenses internally in the device. I live 100m from the beach.

4) I also use my phone to monitor my regular cycling activies. I ride in the rain etc and although I have what I thought was a splashproof case for the phone, it still has been quite moistened.

Well given that you cant stop the corroding its only a matter of time before the phone eventually fails so I would recommend the following;

1) Stop storing any data on your internal card I now bought a 32GB sd card and I will just use that so if the phone fails I simply bin it and put the card in a new device.

2) Regularly back-up your device

3) Start saving for a new device

4) Get a new motherboard for the device

5) A scum-bag thing to do is hard reset it and sell it to someone who isnt aware of its data storage properties. :D

Thanks dude i tought it was the driver fault. Quite sad for my dad
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lipkel:

did you resolve this issue?
[Galaxy Tab General] matthewflinchbaugh:
Ok so this is my opinion and I'm tired of seeing it happen.

Number one where the end user goes wrong.

Begging for more and more and more... (this goes on and on)

Thinking these devs owe you something.

Asking already answered multiple times questions.

Asking questions in a cdma forum if its for GSM

Commenting back on a post that includes the above items. And fuelling a battle that will only end with a mod envoking their privileges, or a Dev gets the ****s of it.

Mods you go wrong by not stepping in sooner for these imature posts. To many mods like to warn everyone that they have these privileges. Just do your job and delete the posts or block multiple offenders. If your not going to do that then don't add in to the mess how you managed to be given such a great ability, and how you are not afraid to use it.

Devs, come on... sometimes as much as I rely upon you I have to think yous are the worst at all of the above. I'm sorry if someone takes your work, and rewrites the build.prop to make it look like their own. But holy **** where did your main source come from? I have yet to see one dev rewrite the entire linux kernel, that android is using, from scratch. Yet no dev is giving credit to those who did write it and continue to maintain it. Not one rom creator gives credit to google or aosp at the beginning of their thread. Hell some working on cm dont even give credit to cyanogen. It would be one dark day if cyanogen were to pull cm and say one dev didnt give him credit for what he started.

Bottom line people android is an amazing platform that had it not been for the amazing dev community, modders, and tweakers, and even end user would just be another iphone. Instead there are so many things that we can do that an iphone user cant do as easily. Like send an attatchment (other than images) right from the email app. Everyone as a whole is making this what it is. Even if they only make a slight change, or report a bug. If u dont want someone using your work then work on something closed source. Cause open source is all about the community. And its that community that got it here.

[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
Yes, while I understand there have been many threads in regards to RSD Lite not recognizing phones, hear me out as none of them have been helpful to me. I recently got into the world of rooting and flashing roms, so like a fool yesterday I flashed Eclipse v.1 over 2.3.3. Ever since I have been experience the wifi connectivity issue, so reasonably I tried to use RSD lite to get the 2.3.4 sbf onto my X2. However, using RSD 4.5.3 I kept getting a status message along the lines of "chipset type 53 is not supported." Trying it again also with the 2.3.3 sbf, I tried using RSD v.4.9 and 5.3.1, however neither would recognize my phone. Now I am beginning to encounter other issues with Eclipse (my own fault) and I would greatly appreciate any input. All drivers are up to date for anyone who was going to throw that out again.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Be sure the machine you are running rsd on has plenty of disk space.

I got wierd errors a while back when i was running next to full on the HD RSD makes a temporary file before it flashes.
[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
I have more than enough HD space. When running 4.5.3 it has the chipset error as the device status when paired with any sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] phillyo2:
Are you running RSD as administrator? Maybe that could be a problem but i dont know.
[Motorola Droid X2] brossma1:
If you are rooted and have installed system recovery try and flash the 2.3.4 zip aligned update in recovery and see if that works
[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
Just tried both ways in 4.9, neither were successful :(
[Motorola Droid X2] pdinphx:
It might be quicker if you enumerated, step-by-step, how you last sbf'ed ... that way, the more experienced amongst us can determine where you went wrong.

Oh, and throw in details on your computer's OS, too ... I hear there have been some problems using RSD Lite with Windows 7.

[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
I attempted to sbf based on the standard method from what I've seen in threads: run RSD (various versions were attempted), select the sbf, start the RSD protocol on my phone THEN plug it into the usb, and so on.
[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
Just tried that, 2.3.3 isn't showing up when booting and 2.3.4 gets aborted due to signature verification failure or something along those lines.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I am curious as to what is meant by flash 2.3.4 zip aligned update?

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

Also have u tried a factory reset from STOCK recovery? Not the bootstrap...STOCK...

Then see if rsd works

Aldo what method are u using to get to rsd protocol mode?

do u hold power and volume up? ((This is how I do it))

U can also find it with power and vol down then scroll down after u see dastboot on top...try both ways

I know I have had a couple timed where it took a few minutes for rsdlite to actually see my phone ...think it was trying to auto install drivers....

U try uninstallin moto drivers and reinstall? Something go wacky?

I use rsdlite 5.4.4 by the way
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Signature verification sounds like the file corrupted. Try redownloading the sbf file through Firefox or chrome and unzip the file with 7zip.
[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
I have tried both methods of recovery, bootstrap and stock as well as the power+ vol up method and the method of accessing the RSD protocol through the vol down boot method. I have also tried reinstalling drivers as well. I also don't believe time was an issue with RSDlite as I gave each version a good 20 minutes to try to recognize my phone (excluding 4.5).

I will try that, I have yet to try 7zip. Also when I try to access the 2.3.3 sbf zip file from recovery it does not show up as an option.
[Motorola Droid X2] hamburgerman:
The versions of RSD you are using are older, I've been using 5.5 without any issues. If the phone is not being recognized it could be a driver issue on your windows machine. My older computer cannot recognize my phone i think the USB is 1.0.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Use version 5.x.x and higher...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
U r not supposed to flash the sbf zip from recovery.

u should have all the files on ye computer
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Other things to try if still stuck:

try rsd 5.3.1 its what I always use.

Try plugging in to a port in the back of the computer.

Try run as administrator when you start rsd lite

Read the tutorial in the android dev subforum, its in the sticky post.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Also make sure correct Motorola drivers installed((different ones for 32bit and 64bit computer))

Try uninstall and reinstall drivers.

Kill all internet connection ((saw someone say before this was causing problems somehow...worth a shot..I think it had to do with when installing drivers it was doing something to find other drivers..not to sure but.couldn't hurt to try))

Maybe even just try a different computer all together ..
[Motorola Droid X2] hamburgerman:
agreed try another computer
[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
I just reinstalled the drivers and tried 5.5, it didn't work sadly enough. Also, to every post under the quoted one; please read the thread before you throw out "advice."
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
No one read your whole post because you obviously didn't read the tutorial before you messed with your phone. So next time before you attempt to do something you clearly have no information on, read about it first. And instead of being a tool, thank us for at least TRYING to help you.
[Motorola Droid X2] Astrotard Jones:
Oddly enough this plus the cumulative recommendations of using RSDlite 5.5 worked; used a friend's home comp and it went without a hitch. And to EvilTim; I was too general, I was referring to posts like this:
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Thank you for clarifying and sorry I tweaked.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Okay im guessing that is direct toward me?

As I am one of only two who posted below that.

If u would just TAKE my advice and try another computer u would be on ur way by now.

I really don't appreciate the attitude. I understand ur frustration but either u r leaving out something u did in telling us ur steps u took or u are just plain doing everything wrong.

Edit::: so I guess u took that "advice" anyway then huh?

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

REALLY dude? U r the one who said u couldn't see the sbf.zip from recovery.((THAT is why I said u shouldn't be flashing sbf from recovery. So U need to be clearer before u try to say it was useless advice))

Oh and ur welcome anyway since u took my OTHER advice

((And I find it pretty funny that u implied my advice was useless))
[Motorola Droid X2] hamburgerman:

[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:

just looking for the respect I give others.

Guess this thread's over now anyways
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
What would be great, and others do to, is to change the title to show the problem and include 'solved' ado others could reference it should they find themselves with rsd issues...of course, that would mean people using the Search option and that rarely happens
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
^^agreed.

That's what SHOULD be done. Could be helpful to others.
