If you could do that, you'd be the hero of xda lol. I did see where the nexus prime (yes, i'm choosing to call it that over galaxy nexus) has the zero shutter lag for taking instantaneous pictures. Since i just shattered my inc2 screen yesterday, i'll be first in line to get it.

Well, I would love to get to know code and stuff, and even try to start dev'ing, but right now my computer is busted. Lol so once I get my computer fixed, I'm gonna look into developing some. If anyone has some resources for development they could share that'd be awesome. Like where should I start reading??

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Java is the programming language used for apps, yes. Most recognized devs would tell you that simply taking an existing ROM and replacing or editing some apps does not make a rom. To really begin learning how to make roms, you need some linux experience to compile kernels,etc. You need to start by learning programming languages, grab a good linux distro and learn how to use it, and learn how all the parts of android work together.

And if anyone can explain how this is something different that can be charged for if it is a feature of the phone... Using the same unlimited data...

Not sure about that, but if you want wifi tethering, look up barnacle wifi tether in the market.

You want this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] djdanska:
If it keeps up, go to your apn settings and create a new one with the apn internet2.voicestream.com and you should be able to bypass the tethering message. If you keep it by default, mms will fail with that apn. You should be able to set the epc apn for mms only and the other for internet. something like that.

You can also try internet3.voicestream.com also. Speeds vary for the two apn's based on my experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
Yes, Tmobile has an additional package you must purchase to use tethering and hotspot. 15 and 10 per month, respectively.

I just got the T-mobile $30 5GB "unlimited"/ 100 minute prepaid voice plan.

In a short test the built in wifi hotspot feature in the stock Gingerbread Settings tab seems to work. T-mobile does not offer any add-ons for tethering on this plan.

Is it safe to use this built in feature, or should I be looking for some other app (open garden?) to do this?

nope this is what my dad uses and works great. if you have problems with it then get an alternative wifi tether.

Me and my wife have been using the mobile AP for over a year and we just upgraded to ginger bread and now when we use it we get a message telling us we have to upgrade our plan and then next time we try to use it the Web will not work it just sends you to Tmobile.

[General Questions and Answers] Tivo7:
I'm not sure if this is the right forum as I've never strayed from my specific device forums. If it is not the correct section, could a Moderator please correct its location please?

I want to start looking into learning linux and android development and I need a few starter tips.

First off, i need a linux system.

-Should I buy a laptop preloaded with linux or create a boot disk to run on one of my windows computers?

---If I should purchase a preloaded system, what are the details on what I should get?

------I found this site with different systems but I have absolutely no experience with linux so I'm not sure whats good (for android development)

---If I should create a boot disk, could I get a link to a download or some easy step by step instructions on making one?

Next, I'll need to know what programs I'm going to need

-I've use apktool in the past to decomp/recomp but it looks pretty complicated to set up (For someone that has absolutely no knowledge. I'm sure once I do it once, it will be easy to recreate)

---So could I get a step by step tutorial on setup and use of apktool with download links and such?

-I'm hoping to be able to create market apps once I get pretty good at it

---What programs/files will I need to get started on that? (links please)

---Could I have a link to some kind of tutorial on creating apps (functionality of different files/commands and how to incorporate them into apps)

Basically what I'm hoping for is an all out guide to getting linux, learning linux, then learning to create android apps.

All help, no matter how small, is much appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,

~Tivo

[General Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
There is no complete guide for Android programming, but I can point you in the right direction. You can install Ubuntu on a windows PC using virtual box. All the instructions to do so can easily be found using google. If you do not know java or c++ then you will at least need to get comfortable with both. From here its up to you to learn as much as you can by searching and learning and then practicing, there is a ton of info out there and too many different techniques for there to be a simple all inclusive guide. stuff is always changing too. It can be done though, because I taught myself a lot with just using google and xda forums. Good luck :)
[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
I had a few little chunks of debris in that gap between the screen and the plastic body that has been annoying me. I didn't want to try to blow it out fearing I would just embed it further into the phone or force dust under the screen. I've lived with it there for a couple of months as a constant annoyance. I found the perfect thing to remove the debris and it worked like a charm. I had a cellophane wrapper on my desk. It is the crinkly stiffer clear stuff you see stuff packaged in. It is very thin yet offers a little bit of stiffness over other types of thin clear packaging material. It slid easily in that gap and I was able to pick that thunk of debris out. If oyu are looking for something thin enough to get something out of that crack without fear of scratching or damaging anything try clear cellophane :)

You better seal it with sealent later in order to avoid all the dust come back..

Is there anyone out there that has successfully downgraded and rooted their myTouch 4G with the 89 bootloader? If so, please break down the process for me because I have tried every possible method out there and gotten nowhere.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatsuDragneell:
89 bootloader is gingerbread I think which has no way to be rooted yet is your phone gingerbread (android 2.3.4) If so u have to follow one of the downgrade guides back to froyo and a 85 bootloader then go about rooting your device with anyway u want

ah, i guess it's possible i'm asking the wrong question then. i assumed the bootloader number went unchanged after the upgrade to gingerbread and i'd always had 89. thank you for clearing that up. who knows what my problem is then, none of the exploits for downgrading have worked for me.

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-x1900mA...J5Q4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1320242216&sr=8-6

I just got these from Amazon and the charger that it came with is JUNK!

It has sliding pins and no instructions on how to charge the batteries.:confused:

I used the samsung battery charger to charge it, when the charger saids its charged, I put in the 1st battery and saw that it was only 89% on the phone. I hope this means that the samsung battery charger will only charge up to 1650mAh and there is extra juice on these Ankers.

I will continue to test it out and will update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yatrg:
I bought these too. To use the charger, slide the pins to the right so that they line up with the copper contacts labeled + and -. I think when you have the contacts on the top right, it is the right most, and then second from the left. Slide the bottom of the charter down and stick the battery in with the pine touching those 2 contacts.

Now, that being said, the light indicated on my charger stopped working after 2 days, so I just leave them in overnight. Also, you can't charge them in the att phone or you get a boot loop. But the batteries themselves seem to last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gqonmars:
How is these batteries working out for you?

It seems WAY too complicated to use the charger which came with it. Does it matter if the left pin is connected to + or - as I can easily flip the battery around.

I am now charging it with the charger which I got with the GTMax batteries, its slow (Output 4.2V 350mA), but it seems to be charging it to 100% instead of the battery charger from Samsung. (Output: 4.2V 400mA 600mA) (89% for some reason, I have not tried again)

I am getting decent battery life out of it as of now, but have not try it enough for a good review. The product does say that the battery will perform better after 4 charges. Since I have 2 of these, they are lasting around 30 hours each,. its taking me time to cycle through it. Is it reallt 1900mA which should last around 15% better than the OEMs.

I will post my findings when I have tested this enough.

I dont know the rest of you, but I like not charging with the phone charger at all. Its takes seconds to pop in a new battery and I am good for another 20-30hours depeding of the battery. No time off for my phone:D Also, I dont want to change the backing for extending battery which diminished the thin aspects of this phone. (I just carry a spare and it will for SURE last at least 24 with heavy use; greater than 6 hours of screen time if not more)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yatrg:
30 HOURS!!!! Wow. I am lucky if I get 8 out of these or the stock battery. Are you using bluetooth?

It does matter. The right hand pin (when you are looking at the front of the charger) is +.

When you hold the Anker battery face forwards and upright, you can see the +- markings on the battery. This is the direction to use in the charger. I have not yet bought (or seen) the adapter from Seidio which is supposed to their charger work for this sized battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gqonmars:
I was originally getting 12 hours until 0% battery left. After I shut down all the background syncs, wirless, gps, bluetooth..etc, and installed juiceDefender, I was able to get to about 20 hours with the OEMs. That means, 20hrs with minimal use and it would be dead/unusable at that point.

Then I follow the rooting and de-bloating the i777 and it gets my phone up to 30 hours until dead with normal use. This is around 3 hours of screen time. It would be great if I can ge to about 40 hours.. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gqonmars:
After a week of use, these batteries seems to last. I think they are as good as the OEMs or maybe 5-10% better. I have also notice that the weight on these ankers are a bit heavier too. Not sure if that means it contains more juice or not.

I have JUNKed the charger that came with it, as its just not user friendly. I been using the GTMax wall charger and its been fine. It take like 6-8 hours to completely charge. (I have not tried again with the Samsung wall charger as the 1st time only charges it up to 89%)

If you are like me, who don't like to chain the phone to the wall and prefer to swap out batteries, then these are good. I hope it there are a lot of cycles life with them.

I travel a lot and with every swap, I get abother 30 hours of moderate use (3 hours of screen time). Under heavy use, I get about 20 hours (4+ hours on wifi):)

So one of my apps that mysteriously uninstalled itself (but the icon remained) decided to start working again (i never bothered to reinstall it and just left the icon, but then it started working again). Weird.

Pretty lame.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
for those of you with issues, are you installing apps to sd card?

i'm thinking what it's doing is when you use apps2sd, it's mounts sdcard-ext as dynamic on the internal memory, but then redirects all sdcard items to sdcard-ext instead of /sdcard. ie apps2sd moves apps to /sdcard-ext and sizes that partition as needed (say 400mb apps, it sizes at 500mb). you take a pic, it goes to save it, but the system is now directing it to /sdcard-ext instead of /sdcard. it sees that there is only 500mb left and kicks it out or activates the low memory message.

if you're installing apps to the sdcard, turn off the phone, pull the microsd card out and pop it into your computer and see what's on it.

i also think that if you use a microsd card, you forfeit the entire 8gb internal storage.

then again, i could be wrong...
[Motorola Atrix 2] mic_crispy:
Ive been installing on the internal memory.

Thing is, some stuff saved on the memory card (ie from inet etc) will sometimes just become unreadable. This phone has some caching issues or something.

And judging by all the complaints etc, i doubt its a memory card issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
ok, i removed my sdcard

storage still reads at 4.77GB internal

when i try to take a pic, it tells me to insert an sdcard.

Well, I got REALLY tired of half of my pictures taken / downloaded pictures instantly being corrupt. It got really, really bad. Every other picture almost would become unreadable. Even ones that had taken okay, would crap out an hour later when id go back to review.

for the record, i was using a A-Data 16GB Class 6 card. Card has been in 3 phones with no issues, so i know its probably just a campatibility issue between the Phone and the card.
