[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cyberratchet:
Hi everyone,

I bought a relative new EU HD2 for my school project, because we want to develop an android application. WP7 looks like an interesting OS, I want to give it a chance and so I want to use a SD-Android (for a while!?). There are many threads about NANDroid like Recommend a NAND Rom? or Best daily use NAND ROM ?, but I haven't find one about SD-Android.

I saw 3 types of Roms, CyanogenMod- , MIUI-, and Sense-Roms. HTC Sense looks very beautiful, but I've heard about graphic glitches and "low" batterylife. What's the difference between CM and Miui?

Must have:

stable Wifi

stable 3G

~2 days of battery life (moderate use)

german language

good performance

good speech quality

Nice to have:

HTC Sense

Bluetooth

720p record

good camera quality

GPS

Which rom are you using? Do you use HTC Sense? And if not why? I know that I'm not the 1st one who ask for recommendations, but there are a lot of different roms and I'm totally overwhelmed by the variety ^^.

Thanks in advance!

[Dell Streak 7] drobyo:
Hey everyone,

So I just upgraded my DS7 to Honeycomb, pretty new to this Android thing, so I haven't rooted anything, just running the stock Dell version.

After the upgrade the Facebook App doesn't seem to work. I can log in, but my Newsfeed never displays anything, it just continuously shows the little loading circles spinning around.

Any ideas?
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Have you reset (power off and on) after you update? Check to see if there is an update to Facebook. Mines works fine after the update. After the update, if you did not go through the setup procedure, you might want to do a factory reset to clear out all the old data and begin fresh. I did that and my Streak 7 is working smoothly, no problem at all.
[Dell Streak 7] drobyo:
I have rebooted it a number of times, but no luck. I've been thinking about doing a factory reset and then upgrading to HC after that, as almost all my data is stored in the cloud, so I would just need to back up my apps.

I'm still pretty new to Android though, so I'm a little nervous about doing that sort of thing.
[Dell Streak 7] androidowns:
My Facebook app is also giving me problems. The newsfeed and profile tab and some of my friends wall wont load all the time. After a reboot it did help but like I said, sometimes I have the same issue. I will keep an eye on it and see whats up.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

Try opening a friends wall and go back to yours. Play with it a few times back and forth. Also, try an uninstalland update again. Clear cache and data.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
You have already upgrade to Honeycomb, so all you have to do is a factory reset to clear out the old data. You will not loose your honeycomb update, just the data. Go into the recovery mode: power off, then press & hold the Volume Up and Power button until the recovery screen comes up, then follow the instructions it provide.
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
mine is working fine... did you try to clear data once?
[Dell Streak 7] Berryblue:
Try resetting App in Applications

Before you reboot, try by going into settings, applications, and then pull up all applications and scroll down to Facebook, when it comes up...click on the "Clear Data" option. It will clear out all setting for Facebook, then go to the Market and check for Facebook updates. Once you've done that, reboot your Streak, then try accessing Facebook to see it it the issue cleared. Facebook works fine on my Streak.
[Dell Streak 7] aelaan:
Now comes the big question: How do I remove this Facebook application? Used to have it but was addicted, strangely enough I am unable to remove the application. Am I the only one that does not want to be on Facebook? The service is running and therefore is doing something even if it was just taking up space...... anyone?
[Dell Streak 7] jayfr76:
fix for fb

Open settings and applications. Select all. Scroll to fb. Wipe data and cache. Fixed :-)
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
pm disable com.facebook.katana
[Dell Streak 7] jayfr76:
Root+ titanium back = freeze the app or uninstall
[Dell Streak 7] Terry Cunningham:
The Facebook 1.7.2 app on my mom's S7 crashes when she clicks the "friends" link if the tablet is being held in landscape mode. It works properly when held in portrait mode.
[Dell Streak 7] tamugop:
Wifi only HC update issues

I'm having a lot of the same issues that are being mentioned here.

For starters, I can't seem to install/move apps to SD after upgrading.

Facebook app doesn't work very well (if at all) even with update applied or clearing data. I can cause it to crash simply by selecting the friends tab. I also noticed that trying to add fb via the accounts tab in system settings generates an error. My theory is that this is a bug stemming from contact syncing.

I say this because none of the apps seem to behave correctly in that sense. Twitter and Skype contacts get added even when you specify within the app settings to sync with existing contacts only.

The Paypal app experiences an error upon login, preventing you from getting past that initial screen.

Installing apps via Android Market from another computer doesn't work. You are given the option to send the app but it never shows up on the Streak. I have not tried this again since wiping the device last night.

Note: Prior to upgrading, I reset the device to factory state. Updated successfully. Found all the above issues. Reset to factory state again. No change in behavior. I think the build may be bad, but then again, I'm no expert.

Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phaijai:
Coming from an Atrix and still on the fence about purchasing the GS2...has anyone used BLN on the AT&T GS2? Does it work well? Does it light up the 4 buttons? Display a bouncing icon on the screen? Any effects on the battery life?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] diabolicalangle:
Bln does not crash the phone and works well. However the one dev who has used it said it is messing with the deep sleep cycles, so he postponed the kernel support until later. Last I heard he said he'd work on it in a few weeks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That would be me. Correct - unlike the nightmare of trying to get BLN working on the Infuse, the BLN commits from Ninphetamine worked well on our device without causing random crashes like BLN did on the Infuse.

However, as you said, BLN also completely inhibited deep sleep when the light was on, which means massive battery drain. I lost 50% overnight instead of <10%, and BLN didn't kick in until 2 hours into that test. To me, this is completely unacceptable, so BLN has dropped down in my priority list due to no longer being "low-hanging fruit".

In general, the priority for many devs are:

1) Critical features and fixes that MUST be in even at high cost in terms of development time, effort, and testing - CWM, things that cause crashes or SoDs, excessive battery drain, etc.

2) "Low-hanging-fruit" - relatively minor or unimportant features that are easy to implement and can sometimes serve as nice breaks from working 1)

3) Minor features that are a pain in the ass to implement - after my first test, BLN dropped from category 2 to this category.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpellronHD:
I guess it's No Led for a bit then....bleh. When Im at work...I could care less about drain when in at the desk where my phone is plugged in. I do however need a visual notification to keep sound from disrupting the environment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] owmygulay:
I am with you. I work in a noisy shop and don't always hear it if I get a text or email but my phone sits on my tool box where it can be easily be seen. This was one of my favorite features on my Cappy.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohammad-Android:
Hey! :D

I Just wanna ask if anyone here knows if it's possible to get your ''x10 mini pro'' to be compatible with any app on android market. So when you search for any app it shows up, although if your phone in reality isn't compatible with that app. Like when you search on android market on the pc, you can see if the app is compatible with your phone or not. So the point is if you in any way could let your phone be compatible with any app on the android market. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Mohammad-Android:
???

Anyone? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABorgh:
I have a question regarding a store for all root users, almost like cydia on iOS devices. Is there anything like that? I have searched but have not found anything.

If no one else have found anything I am considering developing an app that have all root apps/tweaks/themes in one app. Altough I need help since I only am an amateur designer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
It would be kind of pointless. Not all tweeks, mods, hacks, themes, ROM's or even apps are compatible from device to device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABorgh:
But the store can recognize the device and show the appropriate mods to that device! Just like market place
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
The marketplace does not recognize the device, it just recognizes what the device is not. So creating an app that has to recognize every android device, or compiling every mod and setting it up to only recognize a single, or a few devices would take ALOT of work. The rate in which tweaks, mods and phones come out, it would turn into more than a full time job.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milpan:
My project

As you read this I am creating a cydia app for android. In starting of for only the Galaxy S as this is the phone I own but if you want me to include another device just leave a comment :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine725:
I am somewhat familiar with cydia for my iPod touch. I am brand new to Android and have been looking for something like it.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with...hopefully it will work for my Android version of the iPod touch - the Galaxy S WiFi 4.0.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ex!le:

Support HTC Desire pls! :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x12CHRIS18x:
Can you do froyo devices?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyabor91:
The closest thing i can think of that is similar to what your looking for is rom manager. Its free in the market and there's a paid key you can download from the market as well to unlock advanced features. This will detect the phone that you have and you can download CWM, roms, kernals, and themes as well as back and restore nandroids. The only thing this cant do is download free paid apps (warez). If you want to find these there are numerous sites. Google is your friend. Though i don't recommend this because developers deserve to be paid for there hard work. Hope this helps!!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milpan:
My progress of the project is in the i9000 apps and games section somewhere. How it will work is (the app downloads the rom in a zip and you boot into recovery and do the rest manually, now I know that seems stupid but this means tweaks can run on any device and firmware) PM me if you want the upcoming alpha version. thanks. Btw I'm calling it twiny!

How to uninstall cf root by chain fire ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Casey82:
Just flash a stock Rom.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Try flashing the boot image of a stock rom? You must be first on rfs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] KMPLX:
So I hope its in the correct thread... I was helping my friend bring his phone back to life cause he decided to root his phone and flash a rom and it wouldn't work for him... so i tried flashing it back to stock rom and for some reason or other it went into a black screen and it stayed stuck there so I pulled the battery out and tried turning it back on but nothing it just vibrates 3-4 times and it stays on black screen... so Im pretty sure that means its bricked. I wanted to see if anybody had encountered this problem before and if you were able to get a fix or fixed it yourself... I would greatly appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
does it boot into HBOOT?

hold vol dwn + power
[HTC Inspire 4G] sammael1069:
Would also help to know how for into the root process it got.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
Does anyone else notice vertical lines on the screen, especially when the brightness is low?

Its extremely annoying on auto brightness. I'm wondering of mines a dud. Looks kind of grainy. I'm wondering if its the screen size.

UPDATE : since using other Roms and keeping my brightness on at least halfway I do not notice these lines much at all anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
If you came from a Qhd display it should look grainy to you. Try using a different launcher than touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
Yea I know it has a low resolution. I have a sensation. The lines are just crazy though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
can you take a picture with a camera and show us?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
You probably won't be able to see anything. Turn your brightness all the way down and see if you can notice what I'm talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] applejoos:
no lines here at any brightness level.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kid Poker:
none on mine as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenxo:
It might depend on your background pic. Look for it on the lock screen if you haven't changed the stock one yet... I see what the OP is talking about. But with different wallpapers I dont see it.

I got two of these and its the same on both so dont think its a flaw. But I will be passing by TMO when I'm out again to see if the display units is the same!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scmurphy13:
I have the lines as well. Noticed them also on my Nexus S.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
it starting to sounds more like color banding what you are referring to
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
Perhaps. I never noticed it on my Other galaxies. I've had the vibrant and the 4g. And I have the sensation. Big difference from the qhd. But I like this screen better. Maybe it is this "color banding". Its niticible on certain colors like gray or green when the brightness is low.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
It seems to look similar to when you are using the camera and you see all the "noise" before you snap. The picture.

Please excuse my terminology.

However these are stationary. The lines don't move. You will notice them as you swipe left to right on something. Perhaps I am just being picky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
Its also very noticible watching Netflix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
Lines probably coming from a color banding problem the original galaxy s 2 had the issue as well. It was fix with a update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dksxmks:
Definitely not a color banding issue. If you're on the home screen and you slowly scroll and watch closely, the vertical lines do not follow the wallpaper and objects as they should if this was a color banding issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droidsrus:
Aw wth?! I have lines on mines too. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevekixs:
Ah hah. XP i'm not the only one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grabiarz:
got the lines too :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foxassassin:
I just noticed i have them too, and they seem to be there too even at higher brightness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickdmer:
Yes! Definitely going back to find one without this issue. 90% of the reason I got this phone was for the incredible screen and I don't have to tell you how disappointing it is to find that flaw.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedd:
Hi guys

I have a Samsung Captivate and was doing the Odin3 One Click Downloader.

In the middle of the process, the program told me it was removed, and then my phone started blinking the loading icon and an empty battery icon (it was charged full).

When I take out the plug, and turn it on, it just shows the AT&T World Phone screen, but it is an unlocked Rogers phone.

What to do, Thank you for your help.

Edit: I cannot get into either Recovery or Download mode. Please help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Its not bricked if you see ATT screen, but the flashing of BL is messed up. So try to get into Download mode using Jig or other manual methods...and try one click or safer Odin to stock mthods...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmease1:
Jig and odin should work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icedd:
I ended up taking into a shop to fix it. Have a couple of questions so I'll just keep it in this thread.

1. What is the point in initially rooting, when you have to re-root it back into the stock firmware to flash custom ROM?

I got my phone back with these new (or old?) settings:

Firmware Version: 2.1- update1

Kernel Version 2.6.29, root@sep-58#2

Build number: ECLAIR.UXJI2

2. Does this mean my phone is already rooted?

3. What is my course of action next if I want a custom ROM?

Kind of new to the Android scene, and it's kind of overwhelming. I have exhausted the stickies and the MUST READS, if I could get some help, it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
[Droid 2 General] Guestk0024:
Hey all,

Bit of a sticky situation. Tried to flash 2.3.3 from the link below on my Droid 2, and unfortunately, it didn't go well. I installed ClockworkMod Recovery, rooted the phone, made a Nandroid backup and proceeded to flash a 2.3.3 ROM. The installation aborted and I thought hell to it, I'll just reboot into Froyo.

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...id-2-gingerbread-2-3-3-release-prerooted.html

Then the trouble began.

My Droid now boots into absolutely nothingness. It has the "M" splash come up for all of a second or two and then nothing. The screen is live, but it's completely blank. Trying recovery mode (Power+X) heeds the same result. I can get into the bootloader with Power+UP, but I'm not sure what I can do? It complains the battery is too low which really stings, because I'm not sure if the Droid 2 charges its battery when off... :/ I hope it does.

Please, can anyone help here? I hope to hell my Droid 2 isn't bricked - I got this handset second hand and cannot afford another.. Clockwork Recovery has a backup somewhere, it's just a matter of recovering it. I hope? :(
[Droid 2 General] fatalfuryy:
It sounds like you bricked your phone.

Follow the instructions below on the droid-life website and you should be back up and running. I added the updated Motorola drivers and RSDLite 5.5. The SBF file on the droid life website will put you back at 2.2 so you phone will boot

[Dell Streak 7] drobyo:
Hey everyone,

I just upgraded my Streak 7 to Honeycomb, and mostly everything is working great, and I really love the new interface. But some things I'm having issues with.

I've got the new Honeycombed Email app, Gmail app and Calendar, which make much better usage of the screen real estate. But I can't get the new version of Google Docs, or Amazon Kindle. Both of those have the same interface as before.

The other thing, and I don't know if this is normal or not, but I now have two Android Markets. One looks like it's for Phone Apps, and the other for Tablet apps.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Docs, but when I search for it in the tablet market, and click install, it just opens up the phone app market. I can then search in there, and install it, but I still get the old single column interface.

With the Amazon Kindle App I'm unable to uninstall it, as it's built into the Dell Android install (haven't rooted, still a bit of a novice when it comes to Android, so not sure what the consequences of that would be). I've tried updating the Amazon Kindle App, but I still get the same single column book list as before (saw screen shots in the Market showing a more tablet friendly interface with bigger book covers)

I just discovered this forum today, wish I would have found it sooner!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Dell Streak 7] lft4ded:
To update Kindle you'll need to use the phone market (the second one on my tablet) and update it from there. I've found the tablet market crashes trying to update it.

I'm still playing around and I don't use Docs so I can't help with that.

I have found that enabling Google Instant can often cause the browser to crash when manually entering addresses.
