[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auggie43:
Thanks everybody I got my phone recognized finally and I flashed the EC05 modem. But now after I downloaded the update I hit install and yet powered down my device and it on the screen that says samsung. I waited about 10 minutes and nothing. So I pulled the battery out and turned it back on and it stayed stuck on that screen. So I pulled battery back out and I put phone into recovery mode and I selected apply update.zip from sd card and it aborts install. So I just selected reboot and it powered up correctly and I looked for the update file and I renamed it as update and put in on sdcard and I tried to flash the update in recovery and it aborted install again. What did I do wrong?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alias8818:
Do you have cwm installed?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auggie43:
It has the green clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auggie43:
I was going to do the OTA update then install the latest clockworkmod and root and be done with this mess.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alias8818:
As far as I am aware, you can't install the OTA while rooted or with cwm installed. Its one of the two can remember which.

Use the eco5 to ei22 flash to update the modem, then flash a rom. Also might be helpful to flash acs recovery first.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auggie43:
Yeah I unrooted my phone last week and went back to Froyo 2.2. How do I remove clockwork?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alias8818:
Good question. That I don't know. Poke around and see if you can find anything in the dev section.

Please don't use this to do any illegal activity. It is meant to test your own network to see how secure your setup is.

It works great. I realized how weak my WEP password was and switched to a much more secure WPA 2

Must be Rooted, have Superuser, Android VNC and Busybox!

First download the zip file here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M6YCKZLR

Then extract it, and put it in a new folder "bt5", on your phones internal /sdcard

In a terminal emulator, type “su” <enter>, “cd /sdcard/bt5″ <enter>

Now type, “sh bt” <enter>

If all is well you’ll now be running BackTrack 5 on your Android device; you can access it from VNC if you said “Yes” to the prompt asking if you wanted a VNC session

To actually see Backtrack, run a VNC viewer from the market (many are free), then connect to host “127.0.0.1″, port “5901″, password “root”

I just stumbled upon this searching the internet, I do not take credit for this or take any responsibility if you mess up your phone.

As long as you follow these directions, everything should work smooth, and if you dont like it, you can simply delete the files.

Good Luck

[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
Backtrack is a penetration and network security test suite. Please don't do anything with this unless you're on a home network or are otherwise authorized to do so. This could very easily get you into trouble if you don't know what you're doing.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Extraction of wifi passwords is what I'm getting from here right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
WEP is trivial to break. I gave a talk in my senior seminar class and demoed breaking wep passwords. With packet objection to drive traffic across the network, wep is breakable in minutes. its been officially deprecated by the IEEE, no one should use wep.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
Not just that, its a whole mess of network tools.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Right. Using WEP is equivalent to having 123456 or abcdef as password.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
Problem with WEP is that its cipher is inherently insecure. It relies on the RC4 stream cipher, and it can be broken with 50% probability after only 40k packets captured. Using packet injection, you can generate 40k packets in <1m. Collecting 85k packets gets you a solution probability of 95%, so figure it takes about 2m to generate that much traffic. On modern computers, aircrack-ng can compute the key in ~5m, from the beginning of the attack. WEP will only stop a random passerby from jumping on your wireless. It's not a real barrier to any dedicated attacker. Once they're on your network, it's also trivial to set up a man-in-the-middle through ARP poisoning and then your data is all compromised. We even demonstrated capturing traffic off a VOIP phone through a MITM attack. Here's a copy of my talk from my class if anyone is interested: http://db.tt/ocmyCoeF

Awesome! I've been meaning to look into putting Backtrack on instead of Ubuntu. You sir, have saved me the trouble! Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
Tried to install this following your directions but it does not seem to work can you tell me what I might be doing wrong? I ran the SH BT command and it gave me what you see in the screen capture.

The failure is because I had already run it once. When I try to connect to 127.0.0.1 it gives me an error connection refused?

@Tyler we have a noob faq stickied here as well as a guide stickied in the dev section. We don't need every person who gets a sidekick to start a thread announcing that they are new and don't know where to start because it's obvious where to start.

@wolfpakt it's got gorilla glass which is pretty standard nowadays, it'll protect against most things but sand/gravel will still scratch it
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wolfepakt:
I had read that on some website reviews, and read conflicting info on others. I suppose I was looking for real world experience since I haven't found definite info from Corning or Tmobile.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
I read somewhere someone called samsung and confirmed, I've also held it along side a droid x, an incredible, and an evo 3D and the glass feels the same.

I rocked it without a screen protector for awhile with keys in my pocket and never got those tiny scratches other phones get. I use a protector now because i can still be scratched by a grain of sand, (sand= unfinished glass)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wolfepakt:
It came in today. The hinge for the screen seem quite sturdy.

Next question:

As a geek I have never really considered what a first time smartphone user would want by way of apps. I have on my short list:

1 lookout

2 rhapsody (I have an acct.)

3 zedge

4 hotmail

5 juice defender

no fm radio but u can use iheartradio to support raido stations and btw the music can be streamed (uses data ALOt) and it cna be toggled to download only via wifi and or select only certain songs out of your album
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
I would skip on the juice defender apps, they take up more resources than they save. Get the amazon marketplace cuz there's a free paid app every day, if you got cable there are apps to turn your phone into a remote (comcast or direct tv) definitely get an alternative browser like opera mini or firefox and set it as main. Qik video chat, pandora, that's all I can think of off the top of my head
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Ryangyear:
lol'ed at the comment,

and why is it called gorilla glass if it scratches so easily?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
It doesn't scratch against metal, and I suppose if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your keys that would be beneficial. It doesn't protect against sand because that's what glass is made of and I'm sure it has something to do with it being the same hardness or some **** I dunno I'm not a scientist but I think it would be impossible to make scratch PROOF glass, gorilla is the best we got for now until someone invents some kind of self healing plastic

[Android Software Development] Dirk:
Have a good look through the 'post your homescreen' thread. There's a wealth of inspiration in there. Have a look in the widget thread too.

Unless i'm wrong it's not the UI that you want to change as such, but what we'd call a Layout. For all intents and purposes it's the same thing. but UI is software whereas layout is graphical. End result being you want homescreens that look nice right?

Good Launcher+Good Widgets+Wallaper+Imagination and you'd be surprised how good you can make your device look. Some of what i see in the Homescreen thread are works of art!
[Android Software Development] thesmashippy:
Well, What I really want to do is make my own thing. I mean a couple of starter ideas,

- 6 basic home screens (in a cube shape) you can change when slid vertically or horizontally

- 2-4 (based on how many you want) "tabs" on the side of choice that can hold apps, home screens would mainly be for widgets, can also be used for apps though.

I don't know, Its just ideas I wanted to be able to put into my own UI. I think I may get into coding to make my own UI.
[Android Software Development] Spidey01:
Check out an open source launcher, it will give you an idea of how to do crap, beyond whatever is in the API docs. I think ADW is open sourced.

The sound that is made when adjusting volume is the same as the sound made when the camera tries to long focus. I found out how to disable that and I will post a link below.

[Galaxy S II General] gs2365:
Hi guys, this is my first post here and I hope someone can help me please!!

I got my phone 5 weeks no problem till last night,

basically when I am in screen lock state and then go unlock, I keep getting this anoying WHITE screen which coveres the whole screen and only on the top in narrow blue band it say "wiedges setting" to get out of this, I have to press the return button (on the right ) and it goes away , this happens everytime I go to lock position (after it stays in that position for 5 minutes or more),

Also I noticed even DURING my call after about 5-6 minutes through out the call this white screen appears and it ALWAYS goes away as soon as I press the return button.!!

so please tell me how to get ride of this?

if not, how to reset the phone without losing my apps and data? if I do factory reset is my apps will stay in andriod market, or do they also get deleted?

my phone IS NOT rooted phone.

what can I do, this is really killing me, as its everytimes into my face.

Please help me...

thanks so much

ps. is there any way that I can reset the phone to previously saved version! (3 days ago lets say),?
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
Sounds to me like an app causing this, as it seems it wants you to alter some settings.

Can you think of any apps you have installed since it started happening? It is usually always the fault of a dodgy app when you have issues.

I am not sure you can restore the phone back 3 days if you havent already done a backup.

Restoring your phone won't necessarily help as you will probably end up re installing the bad app once you are done.

I would try taking off some apps that you installed recently or anything you think might affect the screen.

Good luck and i'm sure someone else will be able to help :)

Biff.

edit: if it only started last night, is there anything you've installed just before it happened?
[Nook Color General] mr-914:
I did an extensive search on this website and on Google for this subject, and never found a precise response. I eventually figured it out patching together experiences from multiple sources, but I'm sure I'm not the only one, so here is what happened and how I fixed it.

I have a Nook Color that came with the 1.2 software version. I installed CM7 following the guide on this site. I used a variety of nightly releases including 177. I reset and re-installed several versions always with the same result. CM7 would install, but with these problems:

1. On startup, I would receive the error: "android.process.media stopped unexpectedly" and "process.com.android.setting stopped unexpectedly".

2. The market would allow me to download, but the download status would just hang at 0%.

3. The Kindle app would not allow downloading with the error of "your device is not compatible"

4. CM settings cause the same errors as in point #1

The fix is simple. Clear the data and cache in various applications in settings - applications - manage applications and select all applications with the buttons at the top of the screen. You want to clear the info in certificate installer, download manager, google services framework, market, market apps installer, package installer.

I don't know why this works, but it does. I don't know if one needs to clear all of the apps that I did, but it is what worked.

Lastly, the CM settings still crash. I haven't found an answer to that yet.

Good luck!
