The original Motorola Atrix 4G is free with a new contract or renewal at Best Buy.

So if 4 inches is big enough for you and you want a fingerprint scanner - here's your chance.

If you prefer Amazon Wireless it's $20 there for a new contract and $50 for a renewal.
[HTC Desire S] advancexz:
Hi all

I have my Desire S for about 4 months and I have my first problem with it. I can't mount the SD card using the USB cable, in fact, when I connect it with the USB cable this only charges and nothing more happens no longer prompt me to choose from "charge only", "HTC Sync", "Disk Drive", "USB Tethering", "Internet pass-through", and if I choose it manually from "Connect to PC" option, doesn't work either. The SD card is fine I can read/write to it, I have tried using another SD card, another computer, another USB port, another USB cable, "factory data reset", all with the same results. I have never mess with my desire s, like rooting or s-off. Please help me with this.
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
I have this behavior on some Custom ROMs.

Only solution was unticking checkbox in Options -> Connect to pc -> "Ask".
[HTC Desire S] advancexz:
nothing works :S

old.splatterhand, thanks for the reply, already tried that, but nothing happens, I contact HTC, they replied me 2 times, but none of their solutions works, I think that my Desire S its damage :S

[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
so after using the ec power management fw update download on thors forum, i can no longer do anything on my tab, heres what happened, 10am initiated install of said file, text popped up basically saying be patient, its not frozen dont power off. Checked comments on thread, all said 2-3 minutes, 10:30am, still on the same screen, i decided to plug it in so i dont f something up, then had a few drinks and passed out until noon, tablet is still on the same screen. Tried unplugging power and waiting a few minutes, nothing, pushed the vol buttons and waited, nothing, so i finally powered off the device. Now, nothing happens at all when i try to power it on, there is no charging led when plugged in, no vibrate, nothing happens when trying to enter cwm nothing at all, so my main question here is, am i screwed and should i start looking for a new tablet or is there some insane process i can go through to get it back?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Sorry if I'm a bit confused after reading your post. When you hold the power button down, nothing happens at all? No light, no vibrate, nothing?

[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
nope nothing, no sign of life whatsoever
[Acer Iconia A500] :
You can try sending it back to Acer for repair. Others have bricked their tabs, and they have fixed them for free, although they didn't tell Acer how it happened, and I'm not condoning nor supporting that behavior.

Hello.

My brother is in a country where android market is filtered.

I would like to download the apk of FREE apps that interest him and send it to him by mail.

How can i download the apk of FREE apps that he wants me to send to him ?

Thank tou
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
You can not download apk directly from market to a PC.

You can find sites like getjar.com or many other that post free apk files.

Another thing you can do is download to your Android phone, extract it or

I use Astros file manager and backup the apk.

I do this to get apps for my tablet that's not avaiable from market.

Something your brother can do is use Market enabler, it trick the system into thinking

he has a US carrier and most apps will show up

he is in a country that he can not connect to the market at all. So market enabler will not be any help.

if i download them to my phone, in what directory can i find the apk ???

and is there a way to download them to me phone but not install them on my phone ??? (just to pick the apk ?)

thank you for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If you want to get the apk files of you installed apps, you'll have you back them up (there are many apps which do this). You can place the apk files anywhere on your sd card (or internal storage depending on device) where you can find them.

Try Astro. It's simple, backs up only what you want, and seems to be a good option for what you need. I personally use Titanium Backup, but that's more advanced and has more features than you need. Astro would be the simplest way of doing what you need.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacerguyDon:
Depending on the app, look in System/app or also Data/app to find the apk's after being installed.

hi htc desire s fans,

i just bought my device a month ago, and i got crazy when i saw the news that said that desire s will receive htc sense 3.0 and android 3.3.5,but i am sick of waiting, then i saw the guys here talking about installing thesis updates on there devices without waiting for the official update but i can't understand the steps they provide. so if any one can kindly explain in details how to install this updates or refer to a thread with the same topic will be great.

also a brief about the meaning of the custom ROM will be appropriated :)

thank you guys.

I am not so much advanced and that is why i want to ask if it is possible to do S-On after rootig and flashing new ROM - and of course root and custom ROM would stay. I want to know that for the case i fire eMMC chip on rooted device and in service i would want repair under warranty. You know maybe they just take a look at S-on and say warranty is ok.

So is it possible or is that a nonsence?
[HTC Desire S] pradipkamu:
Custom rom explained as

Stock ROM:confused:

A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.

Custom Rom:confused:

A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way.

So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
I'm really looking for an app that I can use to SSHFS essentially, so that I can sorta' use a mounted remote dir as an extension of my phones storage, much like you would do in normal, every-day linux.

Is there such a thing? To date, I have not been able to find anything...
[Motorola Droid 3] Naex:
You would first need to get Fuse working with the kernel. If/once we can boot custom kernels, it's possible one might ship with Fuse enabled but according to

http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel/browse_thread/thread/096dda136ce772cb

stock does not have Fuse. Stock does support modules though and I'm fairly sure you can compile Fuse as a module. You'd need to get ahold of the Droid 3 stock kernel source, cross compile a module for Arm and try and get it to not kernel panic the phone. Once you have Fuse in there, it shouldn't be too bad to build a copy of sshfs.

In the mean time, I have found https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.fx to be an incredible file manager that support SSH, SMB, and FTP. The only thing missing would be root.

Anyway, I think Fuse support would be awesome but don't have time to work on it at the moment. Do we have the D3 kernel source somewhere?
[Motorola Droid 3] librarat:
Yes, D3 source has been released. There's a thread on it here on XDA in the dev section. Thank's for the info! :)

Apologies, I would like to have posted in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653336) but I don't have enough posts. I have also searched to no avail.

Anyway, I've got Samba set up on my Galaxy S2. It's enabled and running. I can ping the ip address using cmd.

What I can't do is see my phone on my network/through Windows explorer and I'm wondering why not. Imust admit to being confused about the troubleshooting advice (https://sites.google.com/site/funkyfreshapps/) telling me to manually enter the devicename or ip address into Windows file explorer - I assume this means right clicking in the explorer and going through the 'Add a network location' wizard, but this also does not connect my PC to my phone.

Any help greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gadget069:

I came from the Inspire to the GS2. The difference is noticeable and I'm very pleased with my decision. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I'm making an assumption all the apps I purchased for the inspire will work with the sgsII?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
It depends on the app. For example, I had BootSplash on my Inspire (which changed the boot image). It doesn't support the S2, so that one doesn't work. If you're talking about typical apps then yes, they should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gadget069:

I just picked up my SGSII on Sunday at Walmart, and it is the best phone I have ever owned. It's fast and responds just about instantly, it puts my old Captivate (Original Galaxy S) to shame. The screen looks really good!

I was orginally thinking of waiting a it and seeing for the Galaxy note to be released in the US or maybe seeing what the Nexus Prime would have to offer. But I broke down and just picked up this fabulous device. So far I'm glad I did, though I still my grab a Galaxy not when it is available in the US.

Even with the minimum contract, I don't use all the minutes. So I'm saving right there. Data is outrageous for pre-pay, but its coming down. And I don't use a lot if that either. So for $50 my wife and I each have 250 minutes of talk, unlimited text, and I put a little data on my phone each month, otherwise i use my WiFi at home or where ever I can.

I started reading one of the other posts about people having artifacts on their screens, but aparently you have to be in a pitch black room staring at the right shade of grey to see them.

So now the big question, do I buy off fleabay and save some money or head to a big box store and pay more but it will make it easier if I have to return.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
What rate plan is that? O.o and with what company, and what makes you think you can't keep that plan when you upgrade?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RojasTKD:
I have to agree... I've been with AT&T--->Cingular--->AT&T for as long as I've had a cell phone. The money I've saved by upgrading with a 2 year contract will more than pay for me canceling my contract several times over (it's not likely I'll be switching carriers any time soon though).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Same here, plus if you have a family plan, and the primary line charge is more than $100 a month (not hard because of $30 data + $30 shared unlimited messaging) you can renew every 12 months. So I have always shaved off a few months at least. I think the most I have gone over the past 7 years was 16 months between subsidized phones.
