[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gromacs:
Thanks for the help guys, after I recovered from my raging at such terrible mechanics of this software I went back and dug through some more settings. I did add gromacs to the dictionary, and now I'm able to swype gromacs and expletives. The suggest and autocorrect settings were in the Swype menu, not the android keyboard menu which is why swype still behaved like that after I changed the android keyboard settings.

Snakecharmed yes that's what I did, and as soon as I type out a word the swype auto-screwup would kick in and change the word. I don't think any ROM should come with any keyboard other than standard US. If they want to throw in arab, why not throw in chinese as well? My friend wants a french keyboard. The stranger on the street wants a weddings keyboard. See where I'm getting at? Maybe the guy who created VU uses the arab keyboard, idk.

I'm sorry, not Peroid. A user unable to figure out messy software settings means the software is bad, not the user. This is not PEBKAC, this is PEBAndroid-and-Swype
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakecharmed:
How did you even get Swype in the first place? Swype isn't supposed to come with Virtuous Unity. I had to install Swype separately by extracting the files from a backup of the Espresso Gingerbread ROM and then pushing the files to the phone after Virtuous Unity was installed. Along with the absence or omission of the Touch Input keyboard as one of your keyboard options in your original post, what you've described does not sound like the stock settings for Virtuous Unity at all and something isn't adding up.

I thought you uninstalled Swype after your previous blowup anyway. How and why are you still using it?

I feel that my point stands. I didn't know what Swype was when I first got this phone, so I didn't swipe. I tapped with the Swype keyboard, didn't notice anything different from any other keyboard, and thus never had any reason to blame auto-correct resulting from swiping because auto-correct is only supposed to happen when you swipe and not when you tap.

Ultimately though, if you have everything working the way you want it to now, then that's all that matters.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclaw_fantum:
I was just trying to get you back to the HTC keyboard and set it up. I hate swype. I know I could get used to it if I use it, but I don't like how the swiping action works. My hand blocks the keyboard off when swiping so I have to pause and maneuver my hand so i can figure out the direct line to the next letter without lifting my finger.

And the auto correct function does work when tapping. It messed me up when I tried logging in gmail to setup the phone when i first bought it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakecharmed:
The only thing I can possibly think of is that there were different default behaviors for different versions of Swype. I never had an issue with Swype 3.7 that comes with the Espresso Gingerbread ROM and that's what I'm using now. I do know that the older version of Swype that was on the stock Espresso Froyo ROM was more cumbersome, but I hardly used it because I was busy rooting and flashing a new ROM at that point. However, neither version should be in the install package for Virtuous Unity or else this thread wouldn't need to exist.

Either way, if the input functions as expected for the OP now regardless of the keyboard of choice, then we can move on because if it works, it works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vxspiritxv:
I have an old verizon touch pro2, not my main phone anymore, went out of contract, upgraded to another phone.

I just HSPL unlocked it, and put on energy rom on it (Energy.RHODCDMA.29022.Titanium.Jul.06)

Anyways I'm planning to goto thailand and I want this phone to work on DTAC

What steps should I take to be sure the phone will work over there? Should I grab the Amazon 'T-Mobile Sim Card Prepaid Kit' to test with?

Do verizon people have to do: rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com

(it was advertised as a world phone, but I dunno if that means the phone is unlocked)

And last question, should I flash the radio? it has 1.88.07WV

I don't expect I would have internet access were I'm going, just trying to bang this out now. Sorry for links like they are, member for a long time reading, I just don't post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
I would flash the newest VZ radio (2.37WV).

Also, as I understand it the SIM slot is only locked from US carriers - so if you want to use the device on a US carrier, you have to do the SIM unlock. However, (again this is how I've always understood it) if you just want to use it internationally, it should "just work". Just need to make sure you force it in GSM mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vxspiritxv:
Thanks, I just updated the radio, hopefully its good to go... but I see they sell DTAC sims on ebay, so I'll grab one of those... as far as I can tell, I should know right away if I need the unlock code.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mtl_x5:
After I have changed the broken display on DHD for the new set: Display + Digitizer, the new display doesn't work.

When I press start the vibro works only for seconds, and then I hear the system boot soud, but there aren't any information on the display, I can see only the backlight.

What is the problem?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
I dont know too much about the hardware side of phones, but I know a lot about computers so I may be of some help lol

How many wires/contacts are there between the display and any external components such as the motherboard?

If only one, make sure it is plugged in correctly, the right way round, and plugged in all the way.

If there are more than one, make sure that if they have the same connector that you havent got them mixed up, such as the one that controls what displays and the one that supplies power.

This is all I can help with, sorry.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mtl_x5:
Thanks!

There is only one contact between the display and the motherboard.

I have connected the old broken display... got the same result - no info on the display. ((
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
so are we expected to get the official gingerbread source anytime soon or are we just dealing with leaked g.b. sources i know the epic got it a while a go or at least you can download it from samsung.com any thoughts.... :eek:
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
We won't get it until after an official release, which we don't have yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I would not expect an official release anytime soon. I hope that I am wrong but don't get your hopes up. If you want better OEM software support get the Galaxy Nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The problem is Verizon and not Samsung. If you don't know this, go look up other Samsung phones, like the I9000 and I9100 to see how often they get updated. Samsung is good when it comes to supporting their newer Android phones, as long as the carriers don't screw things up, which they always do.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I agree that the problem is Verizon. Samsung still needs to be able to produce software updates that meet the requirements of their partners (Verizon) in a timely manner otherwise the customer sees Samsung as the problem when phones from other OEMs are receiving updates.

My advice to the OP remains to get the Galaxy Nexus if you are concerned with timely software updates. Google is not going to let Verizon screw up their product.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
it's not really timely, timely i consider to be 3-6 months it has been close to a year we will get g.b. source by the time jelly bean or what ever they call it comes it is more or less a eternity
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
It was all fine i flashed the ics themed rom then the battery started draining way too fast it reached 16% i put it on charge by pluging the charger and i checked after an hour to see how much it is charged then i was Shocked :eek: that it was showing 8% charging it actually decreased then i thaught it was some rom issue so i flashed v20B_00 and then flashed CW 5.0.2.0 recovery and flashed franco.kernel v1.1 now its still happening....so i am really confused :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xuanduc987:

wat overclock value u have set the phone to?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:

@ccdreadcc no overclock default clock as of stock 2.3.3 v20b_00
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xuanduc987:
I duno, try wipe battery stat ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
i have tried i think something wrong with hardware
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jayleekay:
Probably stating the obvious but did you pull the battery? I had an issue when I switched roms a while back and I had to do a battery pull before it would charge and it was completely dead.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
If you have a warranty than take it back in to trade for a new one or refurbished one....I've never had that problem so I wish the best for you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Devil_Dude:
how to do battery pull?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Deathzero:
Fallow these steps very carefully or you"ll mess up.

1. Open the Back Cover of your phone.

2. Put your index finger just below your SD-Card.

3. Push the battery a bit.

4. Then pull it out all at once.

Its that's easy....

You just have to pull the battery out....

:D

[Nook Touch General] volwrath:
I recently bought a new Nook N2E. It actually came with firmware 1.0.0 strangely enough. I did slap 1.1.0 on there.

I want to root this baby. My question is should I revert to 1.0.0, upgrade to 1.0.1, root with touchnooter and proceed with everyone else, or just manually root it noogie style? Or I could stay at 1.1.0 and rip out of touchnooter the things that are not working. I'm just looking for opinions.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
There's no simple answer to that.

In regards to Market things are a little messy on 1.1.0 right now, but we're working on it.

Some people claim they got Market working on 1.1.0, but GabrialDestruir is having trouble with finding a reliable solution for that and so do I.

If you absolutely want Market right now, then save you the trouble and go back to 1.0.1 + TouchNooter 1.6.24

If root is all you need atm, then just check out the updated uRamdisk thread.
[Nook Touch General] TJay99:
ros87:

If he does go back to 1.0.1/TouchNooter 1.6.2.4, won't the B&N update eventually download automatically and force the unit to update?
[Nook Touch General] cceerrtt:
there is a way how to (successfully?) block OTA updates, just google it out. It is simple sqlite3 db update.
[Nook Touch General] volwrath:
Thanks for the replies. I decided that since Ive never seen the N2E running android, I would go 1.0.1 and Touchnooter and it worked like a charm. Only thing I cant figure out how to do is change Google Sync from Push to Manual
[Nook Touch General] jmgazer:
Updated my rooted Nook touch to Ver 1.1.0, after reverting to factory version as received. Used the two modified files in the SD image, and after the third boot it worked. I get Youtube, Gmail, and Market successfully. Now I cannot install any non-market apps. Somewhere I saw a menu and accepted permissions which I thought would allow installation of many non-market APK's. Guess I need some help, but close to success.

Jim

"Install blocked" message appears "for security, your phone is set to block... Android Market", I had earlier checked accept non-market apps.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
NookColorTools, even if non market apps is checked, uncheck and check it gain.
[Nook Touch General] Kralik:
I've had success three times rooting it with full Market and search.

Here's what I did:

1) Backed up with noogie.img on SD and Roadkil's DiskImage.

2) Used nookRestore on SD to restore /system.

3) Erased and Deregistered to wipe /data.

4) Skipped B&N registration (I don't need/want it).

5) Applied 1.1 firmware update.

6) Used TouchNooter 1.6.24 on SD, modified with 1.1 uRamdisk and framework.jar.

7) Triple booted TouchNooter (gave it five minutes each time), removed card, rebooted, skipped Google registration.

8) Youtube --> GMail --> Market. Downloaded a program in Market.

9) Installed SearchMarket and ADB Wireless Widget. Enabled non-market apps with NookColorTools. Uninstalled YouTube (someone said this helps).

10) Used ADB over wireless to push Vending.apk from here. SearchMarket is no longer needed.

My original thread (with links and other details) is on MobileRead in the nook sections. As ros87 noted, GabrialDestruir hasn't got it to work, but I see no reason why it shouldn't if I've done it successfully on different devices. My guess is that some part of the process is being done differently.

TouchNooter's three boots went like this for me:

1st) Infinite loop of nook dots. I reset after about five minutes.

2nd) Complete freeze either on "Rooted Forever" or nook dots screen.

3rd) Success! and boot to Android Welcome. From here I removed the SD and rebooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworx:
Hi All,

I'm new to the Android world, but since I get by banging out code for a living, and have a penchant for photography in my free time, I was hoping to toy around with the camera software a little to see if it could be improved.

Basically, given the specs of the lens and the device (which, while obviously not specialized hardware, crushes my SLR in terms of raw processing power), I see no reason as to why it has to take two-to-three seconds between shots (fixable by buffering the writes methinks), or roughly a second to autofocus (the issue...).

Which brings me to the heart of my question: the Android SDK (and, I'm assuming NDK, though I haven't toyed with that yet) only interfaces the camera firmware, ie., I can do something really basic like takePicture, but I can't really delve into the nuts-and-bolts of that process.

Assuming the nitty gritty would be located as a driver/firmware in the kernal, I downloaded the source for my phone. It appears that most of the drivers are precompiled .bin's, and I can't seem to find the source for those. The manufacturer is a bit sparse in providing the actual specifics of the camera hardware so I could dig out the manufacturer's docs, and I'm hesitant to disassemble my phone for something which may or may not even be worthwhile.

Is there a way for me to assert low level control over the camera? Would I need to rewrite the firmware from scratch? Has anyone toyed with this kind of thing and can offer some insight?

Your help is most appreciated! Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feiks:
I'd like to see something like this possible.

My previous phones were almost like SLR's in comparison to what I have now ( k750i, k800i and even the dreaded P1i versus Gio ) despite the same or even lower Mpix count. The pics produced by Gio are simply awful in terms of everything except the color representation.

What I'd like to have, is the ability to manually adjust ISO and exposure times. Tried most available apps, but the outcome still is *sigh*...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screamworx:
Indeed, everything I've seen in the market pertaining to the camera appears to be "post processing" of the raw image. My hope was rather to optimize/tweak/flat-out-rewrite the image capture itself (AF, AE, WB, ISO, drive, metering and the like) to allow for something a little more robust (and in my case, speedy).

But given that I haven't been able to dig much up on the topic, I'm guessing that this is tied into the firmware (making a universal solution difficult), and I'm further guessing that the camera firmware may, in general, be closed source.

My hope is that someone with a little more experience than moi can confirm?

Any way to cut out the touch the textbox step without using a different dialer/contact app?

[BUG]&[FIX] Can not Add Call or Create Conference call, or put call on Hold on T989

Hello,

I am unable to make 2 calls at the same time or a conference call. Everytime I try this I get android.acore.phone force closed. I have tried with Roman's kernel and stock rooted rom and with beastmnod 2.1. I want to find out if this is a software issue or issue with my device.

Can anyone try this and post results? Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
install the Telus based kernel

Tmo based kernels seems to require that annoying ID App from Tmo before it lets you do it.

basically they are trying to sell you another "feature"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] parusia:
That is strange, because I'm using the stock kernel with Phantom ROM and I'm able to do conference calls.:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
my information is based of 3 guys that has been complaining about dropped calls when trying to do 3 way or putting another caller on hold

all 3 of those topics suggest it's that Tmo ID application, so take it with a grain of salt, it might or might not be correct ;)

personally i have no problem with 2 callers, but i've not yet tried conferencing calling

i'm on Juggernaut 2

in that case the work around is to install a widget

i'll suggest Widgetsoid 2 from Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VICosPhi:
Thanks AllGamer, I just tried Telus kernel but still no luck :(

Thanks, I tried this as well, still force close :(

So should I assume my phone is defective then?

it's it only affecting people using Tmo SIM cards?

because it works for me, without that Tmo broadware name ID app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
It would be strange if it has to do something with the SIM. But yes, i'm using TMO SIM and that too the new one which came in the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VICosPhi:
Good point. Hmm I could test it without Tmo sim but the other ATT sim I have is only for data and does not have any minutes. Also, I got my phone for full retail but that does not seem to make any difference. AllGamer do you have yours SIM unlocked? (Must be since you are using a different SIM I assume).

i just installed it, i guess i didnt have it as it didnt prompt me about overwriting or replacing it...i just opened it and it said "tmobile name id is unable to contact the server" does that mean its not working?

nevermind..i got it to connect...its a paid service? lol...do i really need to have this on my phone to ensure that call waiting and 3 way calling works? this is stupid

so i installed it, rebooted..i just got a call from my friend...it listed his location and #...so im guessing its the app kicking in? its actually pretty cool..i dont recall it giving me that information before i installed the app...i never agreed to paying the $3/mo fee...how is it still working?
