Hey guys,

I was running Eaglesblood 2.4 with faux's kernel and all of a sudden my data connection just stopped working. I tried everything, rebooting, hard rebooting, fixing permissions etc.. and nothing worked. All the while I was searching online to see if T-mobile was experiencing a data outage in my area, but nothing. I flashed Eaglesblood again thinking that maybe that would re-set everything but still no data. I then thought maybe it was an issue with Eaglesblood so I flashed the cm7 stable rom doing everything correctly. Still no data. Nothing's working. Anybody have any idea what might be wrong and how I should fix this?

Thanks for the help!

Have you tried a wifi connection? If that doesn't work either then maybe something hardware related went. Hope not though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jstenn13:
yea wifi works but wifi calling doesn't. its just says "connection error" when i try to get it going. Also, when i go to call settings>additional settings, i get this message: call settings error (network or sim card error). Not sure whats goin on, it just happened suddenly which is the most weird part.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Sim card might have crapped out. Have someone else's or a different tmobile phone you can test it in?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinoyclass:
I had this same issue today ended up being i didn't have data enabled checked in the network settings
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jstenn13:
ya im gonna try my sim in another phone. good call. seems like thats the only thing it could be at this point
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jstenn13:
well i tried my sim card in my old unlocked blackberry bold 9000 and after the phone says "searching for a signal" i just get the "sim card rejected" message. so yea I'm thinking it must be an issue with my sim card...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
That sucks. Give T-Mobile a call and have them check your account first to make sure it isn't a problem on their end.

i got a new sim card this morning and everything is fine now! Thanks for the advice

If your asking about anything and you have h-boot 1.16.0000 and/or cannot attain s-off please state so in your OP.
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Can you help me? I have s-on 1.16.0000 and I have cyanogenmod 7.1 and have access to root files etc. I want to install tiamat kernel for my phone but when I install via recovery it says its completed but when I reboot it still has the same cyanogenmod kernel however wifi doesn't work. Luckily I did a backup so all is good for now. Just like to flash a kernel because its meant to improve battery life. Some people say its because of s-on but I'm not sure.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Since you had to use the HTC HBOOT Unlocking process to get a custom recovery on your phone, I would suggest you go visit and search the HTC EVO 3D forums for thread discussions and procedures for flashing custom kernels. If I remember correctly you may need to do it manually in FASTBOOT mode.

Well I picked up a mytouch 4g, but I want to root it or would rather just keep my phone.. :)

So both guides in the xda forums haven't worked for me, one says you need temp root. Which I don't have. And another one says I need to use adb. Which I can't ever get installed on my computer, I've tried sooo many times..

Is there anyone out there that can help me?

Or another guide that's easier to just downgrade from gingerbread to froyo so I can root?

Thanks in advance.. and I've tried searchin and have found nothing... :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Rooting a phone is technically exploiting a security flaw, or series or flaws. Since 2.3.4 is pretty much bullet proof on our phone you need to downgrade first. If you cannot get that to happen. Sorry about your luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jberg22:
You have to use adb. I never used adb before but I got it set up last night and downgraded to 2.2.1 without any problems. I read something about a goldcard method mentioned, but I have no idea what it is and how it works. Its worth a search though..

Hello,

While I am a huge supporter of the oongoing work of porting Ubuntu to the ASUS Transformer, I am more interested in seeing a native X11 Implementation. I run Debian as my primary OS and would love to be able to access native applications without the need for VNC. I do love Honeycomb, which is why I wont go pure Ubuntu​
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unfnknblvbl:
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEV

I'm pretty sure there's a very good reason that this isn't possible. If so, it would have been implemented from the G1/Dream onward. I think it has something to do with the fact that Android really only uses the Linux kernel and thus DisplayFlinger (the video output module) has absolutely zero interoperability with X11. Also, the Android system structure (for lack of the correct term) just plain doesn't allow for something like X11 to exist.

There's pseudo-workarounds which involve having a Debian shell on your phone/tablet and then accessing it via a VNC app... but it takes over the whole screen, so you may as well just be booting into a Ubuntu partition.

http://www.androidauthority.com/run-x-windows-x11-on-your-android-smartphone-2176/

(I never got it working on any phone I own/owned though)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
Android and X11 do not work together for several reasons;

First is instances owning the fb, only one is allowed to own the framebuffer, this is why on your computer you can't have more than one VT running X. The framebuffer is owned by the DisplayFlinger, Androids own XWindowManager, the flinger and X11 are not interchangeable, it is one or the other and Android apps will not run on X.

The second is libc, Android does not implement libc, but instead its own mutated library called bionic this means compiling with bionic, statically compiling, or forgetting about it. Forgetting about it is the easiest to do here because statically compiling will end up with a 100+mb xserver, which we don't want, compiling with bionic has two issues one, stripped binaries will not run on bionic, so you might as well be just running Androids display manager, and the second issue is as above.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farmer bobathan:
Couldn't someone emulate a framebuffer in an android app and have X take over that framebuffer and make the app's screen be the display on this emulated framebuffer?

EDIT: I guess what I am trying to describe is that you could set up X to write to a different framebuffer than android and make an app to display this framebuffer while still keeping the android UI.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppirate:
A X server for android is available.

Search github for androix-xserver. The fork of webbbn has a branch containing a lot of recent developments. Only problem with the xserver for android is building the thing. It has a lot of dependencies. It should be beter documented.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swetland:
There's really no reason one could not implement a full X server against standard Android SurfaceFlinger Surfaces. Though what might be more interesting would be a library-ized version to make it simpler to bundle app + ui into a self-contained "native" Android app package.

It's just a bunch of work -- not particularly glamorous or exciting, unless you're really into porting or writing X servers -- but especially with the NDK these days supporting native apps, access to surfaces, and access to openGL, all the necessary bits are out there to make it possible
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Writing a X server program that works e.g. more or less like a vnc client is likely more fun than useful. You can get around the bionic issue in many cases, but for practicle value you're just not able to make it work without z lot of effort. Better off using the vnc/x thing, a debian chroot, and an android vnc client to local host.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
I'm gonna speculate and say that it just needs to display a window on the surface flinger and render the Xorg api stuff.. also poll for taps.. doesn't seem like it would be too complex... maybe more complex to have it functioning well on every device.

Vnc will never be better than native X even if it is currently more convienent. I find it frustrating when people say something is not likely because it is tedious or trivial.

Just the fact that someone is actually working on an implementation suggests that it will happen eventually. When it is finished and works.. guess who is gonna be the only ones with the software that can do it!

They're where the people who ask these questions will eventually find themselves.

TBH, the idea of running an xserver with a chroot'd distro on my tab makes me all tingly.

tiiiiingly, kthx!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
The rendering stuff is one thing, issues with auth, environment, etc are another. It's slightly more complicated than filling pixels. Something you might also want to consider, doing it with a real X rather tha n the x/vnc trick, is pretty much the same. At best versus writing your own vnc client, it would *maybe* have better performance, rather than just an easy way tobsetup a .xinit/.xsession file.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
no me gusta. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitomartinez:
Another approach

Another approach might be this

Search for X11 server with VNC backend in the market place (not allowed to post URLs)

market.android.com/details?id=com.theqvd.android.x

It is an X server with VNC backend.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
It's probably just a bundle of Xvnc compiled for Linux/ARMv5 and an Android VNC client that knows how to connect to it smoothly. Basically packing what people already do, in an app.

I would also worry if the C code was replaced with a 100% Java xvnc port.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tardisguy:
vnc x server and android

While I would love to see a native x server on android, the only way it would work is if there was a port of an android exec environment. Then you can integrate the keyboard, market and etc. But until then the UI is just... Unacceptable. HOWEVER I have been effing with it a lot and realized the best way to run Linux applications for now is to skip the desktop environment... Run xinit via xvfb vnc (tightvncserver) and to make it capture by window at your phones native res. Set options economic translate. This will run any non multimedia application B E A utifully
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
And then their are freaks like me that get by fine with a terminal emulators UI lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorto:
Hi, another approach here. I think it's a native x11 server (no chroot, no vnc) written in java... there are no binaries though, only sources. If there is any dev here willing to build an apk from sources for us it would be great...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stdiopt:
x11

afaik we can run several x11 in pc with different vts, and since x11 is a server its completely possible to write something that listens to tcp and draw stuff grab events and send tcp stuff on a single android app despite that being rly similar to vnc or rdp except vnc works on image buffers,x11 its a bit more complex... i suppose .

i use every day a winxserver at work completely independent of os window manager concluding that would be possible on a android app, (probably lots of work)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
android-x11-server looks good, I'm surprised how far along it is but I'm sure the developer has a reason for not putting a downloadable APK up yet.

Something like X11->VNC works like keeping a copy of the frame buffer and figuring out what to encode and send to the VNC client for rendering. X11 and RDP I believe are more command driven, but I'm not sure about RDP. Some kind of native X11 server would rock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkwan:
I've just released an open-source X server for Android, also available through the Android Market. Details at my20percent.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/android-x-server/

Note that it's still in beta, and doesn't come with a window manager, although in theory you can run a window manager remotely.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoredOne:
Now we all know that social networking has become a big thing in the past few years. Even more so now that there are apps all over the place that all do the same exact thing. Which is connect you with other people around the world, but what if you want to talk with someone a bit closer?

Everywhere you look there are people on their cell phones, whether it be android based or not. However what if your little people shy and want to strike up a conversation with someone? Especially if their tied up on their phone it makes it tough to bring up a random conversation. What if there was a way to kind of interrupt them and impress them at the same time?

For instance what if your friends dragged you to a bar, bars aren't your thing and you'd rather be at home playing games on your computer or just tearing apart the latest gizmo that you got. Well you happen to notice a girl on the other side of the bar that seems rather nerdy herself that got dragged by her friends and would rather pay more attention to her phone than the drunk guys trying to hit on her.. Obviously going over and saying hi isn't really an option as she'd likely just ignore you like she's done to the rest of the guys, cause your just another drunken idiot that wants to get in her pants (at least thats whats she'd think)..

Wouldn't it be a bit more interesting to say send a message to her phone even tho you don't know her, don't know her number, and know nothing about her.. However it'd get her attention if she got a popup that said "Hi, I can't help but notice your bored.. Me too."

Now this may or may not be possible, as I don't know a damn thing about the android nor hacking it. However I remember back in the day of high school me and a few friends during certain times of the day would go to the same computers in school, and since we knew the IP's of those computers we could send messages back and forth between each other cause they either A didn't disable windows messaging, or we had to turn it on.. We'd screw around with others in the library by sending a mass net send to all computers saying "Your computer has been infected!" then shutting them all down remotely..

Would there be a way to do such a proposal? If so anyone up to the challenge? Cause really how amazing would it be to just open up a new way to talk to those around you.

iOS had something I saw that almost kinda does this (at least I think) called sonar.me yet I don't know if android does..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoredOne:
Anyone?

I was thinking that if there was a way to utilize the push notifications.. Tho the question would be how to detect said device.. If they were on the same wifi as you that'd be easier.. Even through bluetooth, tho does bluetooth still transmit even when your not allowing it to be seen?

What about the possibility of just through the phone airways.. I mean they could be sitting there online with their phone anyway to intercept that..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoredOne:
Anyone at all?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Hey man, already thing this is a great idea. Although your scenario doesn't quite mesh with me as I am just as "geeky" in the world of pick-up as what I am in Android nerdi-ology :P haha (what I mean is I would have no issues going over there and sparking up conversation if shes geeky or not...although geeky would make it easier - bar easy!). Anyway I think that is a great idea. It would be ok if it was an app. Not just you sending a notification to their phone.

I was using message in a bottle for a while. Random and cool. But did not narrow to close proximity nor anything like your proposing.

I think there maybe privacy issues for push notifications being intrusive, but if someone elected for use via an app then they agree to accept notifications I think this would be ok.

I have wanted to have this sort of thing when I was on the train travelling home. I have even caught the eye of some random hottie down the isle and wanted to see if I could somehow contact her. I have scanned bluetooth and even tried to push a picture to someone thinking it could be her *thinks to self "hmm she kinda looks like a Jessica and she has a Nokia N95...bugger it send image to Jessica's N95" caching :D haha. So yeah I get what you mean ;) .....walking up to someone on a train the environment (although sometimes is expected there is a level of acceptable human behavior there in) is not the place to be attempting to pick-up in dead silence with ears in close proximity eves dropping like all hell in comparison to say a night club/bar/outside area where people are sparse and/or conversation is not easily over heard. *NB: I have attempted (and passing the fear if she is confident and there has been an acceptable level of "eye-sex" or "eye-flirting" with smiles before hand) I won't get flagged off easy. If she is not confident....your pick-up interjection and sudden realisation of overh-hearing ears (eves droppers) can land even the best pick-up artist in a pickle and the shut-down is an even bigger tumble to say the least.

It's ok to get shut down in a bar where people can't hear very well, try getting shut down on a deadly silent train haha being snappy fast whitty and able to promptly deliver a negate to her clear cutting shut down is another subject all together. Being able to do it in a funny way may win you more laughs than her shut down too ;) (geeeze I am going waaaaay off track from Android Nerd to Pick-nerd aren't I? wow I diversed big time! haha :) ) Aside from that I have been successful in picking up chicks on the train without this technology....but this sort of technology would only leverage a man's capability even more so.

Damn it! If this is made....I need to get a job out of town and get back on the god damned train again. I entered the world of Android to wear my geek hat so I wouldn't become obsessed pick-up dude again and here you are a forum member causing two worlds to collide! Thanks....NOT!

PM for more discussion or clarification of my ramblings haha
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoredOne:
Well see thats the thing, sometimes girls just don't to be bothered, so how would you get their attention even for a small chat? If the girl was tech suave it could lead to an interesting topic of discussion on "How did you do that?". They have tons of chat apps that allow you to talk to complete strangers, but these people often are all over the world..

I like the things like the Nintendo DS, or even a Cybiko (if you even know what that is.. =D ) were it has a wireless chat feature where the room is just there and anyone in the area with the same device can just join in. The problem with the Nintendo DS is how often are you in a bar with one? Even the Cybiko (which is super old and was like a young tech kid's playtoy from like 2000) is that no one had it so its not like you could go out to a public area and have people join in on those chat channels.

I've seen apps that claim to do this, but they really don't, as its still over the internet instead of your local area..

Hell the closest thing that would almost be like this scenario would be hosting a open wireless connection that anyone could connect to, hosting an irc server on that network and having people connect to that server, which is quite a hastle for any one person to do just for an interesting way to chat..

Tho I agree with the whole privacy issue thing, I knew that'd probably be the case.. What if there was an app that your an that whenever someone came within your vicinity it would pop up saying "So and So has entered your area" and allowed you to click on their name and start saying hi..

Like I said in my first post there was sonar.me for ios, that kinda synced all the social networking sites to see who was in the same place you are. Supposedly it also allowed you to chat with the people that were also in your area. That would be kinda interesting..
