This means wallpapers and especially live wallpapers are off center and it's annoying. Some launchers allow you to set the Page you want as home. But is there a way to do it in touchwiz?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
How do you guys boot to fastboot if you have turned your phone off? I mean the actual fastboot ("black Huawei logo") not the recovery and not the pink bootloader. I can get to it if I reboot my phone if I press reboot and then bootloader, but is it possible without it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Seems like there is no other way. Right now I can start it in fastboot mode with "adb reboot bootloader" and the custom ROM I have on right now. If anyone wants details, post here.

-e-

Weird discovery I made. While trying to flashall it says the device is "swordfish"... If I flash system.img separately it says "no partition table exists". Anyone has used fastboot before?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Nice. With the new Android version, the product shows MSM7630_SURF. It now properly boots to fastboot without going to charging too, so thats an update.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dsmenzies:
Thanks! I was trying to set up my UDEV (51-android.rules) and your post helped me boot into the bootloader mode to get the right idVendor & idProduct codes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I tried fastboot, but I just get a black screen with huawei logo. No any function, no adb connection, no menu entries or anything and no buttons work. And I can exit only by remove battery. Is this right?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
There's an external tool called fastboot which handles that. There you can reboot or even continue the boot.

Fastboot is broken as far as I know, no partition table exists.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
You mean the fastboot from adb tools which can used from command line? This cannot work because there isn' t adb connection on bootloader mode.

Or is another tool which can be flashed or something to device?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I think you are confusing pink screen with fastboot/bootloader. The fastboot is the node where it stays in the Huawei logo.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
No, I know the difference. I get this screen, but nothing else. On my previous device, fastboot has some functions included flash rom, reboot and some else that I don't remember. I also could from adb to use fastboot command.

On X5 I just get this screen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Maybe they disabled that in B522 too, I am not sure. It was bugged anyway. I only tested it on B138 and B518.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Yes, I have 522 and I thought this too. I've tried on B138 1-2 times and was the same huawei logo screen only too. I didn' t tested it more because I thought that just this mode is disabled and used pink mode only. In B138 sould appear something else on screen, or only commands from adb work?

hello

u know just like everyone who rush to do things before reading instructions

i halfbricked-bootleader my phone hd7 and now i didnt fix my phone since it is

tooo high to fix it, and now to the point i update my phone today and when i went to check the bootloader i get this does this mean my phone's bootloader is fixed?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baksunovic:
I also have Trophy half-bricked. How did you update your phone?

Today I successfully updated with cab sender to 7740, but my bootloader is still one line - PC40100 SS-BC (4k)...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farooq88:
whenever i tried to update my phone i got error 8018009B so i had my phone hard reset and then i update my phone again and this time the update completed
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baksunovic:
Did you also have just one line in BL, and did you update via Zune or somehow else?

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Anyway, I think that fixed bootloader should say "serial" on the bottom even it's not connected, so I think it's still half-bricked...

Which phone do you have ? I am with Samsung Omnia 7 and 7740 update fails for me with the same error 8018009B. Just wondering if hard reset can help here ...

I have some ideas for 2nd init that I am going to try today. Going to see exactly how 2nd init on the X used a hijack zip rather than just init.rc like we have now. It seems like it's executing in the right spot. Just not loading what we need to.
[Motorola Droid X2] phoenix2217:
Sounds Pike a good start :) keep us posted. This is exciting :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Good stuff...u gonna be on IRC today?

Ill be checking it occasionally when I have time...at work now.

good luck :D
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Well I cant do much today but I looked at some more documentation on the atrix's 2nd init and the actual init part came straight from the Defy like the x's did. Going to try making a wrapper to load the x's hijack which should load a hijack zip and then we could load everything properly. Our 2nd init works via moto_charge_mode or w/e that bin is (something like that) which is why it needs to be plugged in to drop into 2nd init. So I was gonna write a wrapper to try and load the hijack bin from the X since we don't natively have a hijack file. Essentially what it will do is try to load charge_mode and then the actual file would load hijack inside of it. We did something similar to delay the RIL loading on the D2G
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
Its nice to know you are actually doing something with the phone. Last time we donated a phone to a dev, we didn't hear a peep from him until he said he was getting rid of it to CVPCS. Which is good he got it to CVPCS but he never kept us updated. I for one love knowing what's going on and wish you the best of luck in getting us some CM7 and MIUI love. I can't wait to make hybrid of my Molten ROM and CM7 :D
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Wow that was lame of him lol. Anyways I am doing it because I started falling out of love with my d2g after seeing the X. Not to mention it wasn't a challenge anymore to work on. I do see a lot of potential in the phone given that it scores the same as my D2G in quadrant with my ICS MIUI rom when I have gingerblur on the phone. So it impressed me a bit, especially since it doesnt have neon.

Edit: Speaking of cvpcs I have been keeping in touch with him via twitter as well. I get along with all the other devs out there =). Haven't gotten to touch base with koush yet but I do speak to p3droid and cvpcs from time to time.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
This is good news. I've been dying for CM7 since I heard of it after I got the X2.

Keep up the good work and if there's anything I can do to help out just let me know.

Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
cvpcs from what I can gather from his twitter is trying to port ICS over to the X and isn't (and pretty much has no plans to) helping us with the X2.

And ace, I think you're doing is right in theory, but I know we aren't going to be able to use charge_only_mode to use the hijack/2nd-init unless we're going to want to plug in our phones to the wall every time we turn on the phone. The reason our BSR uses it is because you can't draw to the screen without certain services being started (which are started when charge_only_mode is). We aren't going to need those services started if we're just going to hijack and then 2nd-init. I can show you the script I use to hijack/2nd-init for porting over the CWMR and the one I have for when I was working on CM7. It's basically like the hijack binary that is compiled for the X and the others, but in a shell script (that works for our phone).

Also, PM me if you ever need to bounce ideas off of me or want me to try something out.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Yeah, shoot whatever you got to me. I wonder if we could use just a wrapper for hijack. Idk if anyone has tried that yet. Those services may not start inside the bin. idk enough about the charge only mode except it kicks off when its plugged in
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
If you could just post that here or get it to me as well i would be interested. I have not seen any actual implementation that works on the x2 so far so i would be super interested in what you have done.

=( the motherboard I bought for my thinkpad was bad. Just contacted the seller (it was supposed to be 100% tested.... yeah..) It isn't that it doesn't turn on... its the it has bad ram on the gpu in it. I get screen corruption in the bios, in windows (in windows it's so bad it bsod's) and on and off the dock. That wrecked my plans yesterday to dev at night. Like I said, I can use my work laptop.... just sucks having to adb push everything. Not to mention my thinkpad has a more complete set of tools. I don't have the rom signer or anything else on here. I even have my boot.img decompiler on there.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
You need an early christmas gift for yourself man! There are some pretty good laptops out there for under $400. Not going to set any speed records, but they have some pretty high end tech in them that is only a generation or so old. I was looking for laptops for both my parents and came across a ton of good deals! I personally prefer my built desktops though.

PC Direct is down the road from me, so I trust them a lot. Here are a couple examples.

[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Eh, my thinkpad is a t60p (came out in late 2006) It has a Core Duo 2.16 ghz, 4 GB of ram and a dedicated video card. My old one had a FireGL V5250 but the new board only has an X1400 in it. So it's pretty decent imo. My work laptop is an Elitebook 8440p and is much more powerful... Just that its much more locked down too lol. The seller did say he's shipping a new motherboard tomorrow thankfully.

Edit: Oh and the hard drive is a 320 GB 7200 RPM drive

Edit2: yay, its not totally ruined lol. Safemode's framebuffer doesn't have any issues. So until my new board comes im gonna run it without the proper drivers =)
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
Ahh, well when I think of thinkpad I think of my girlfriends old POS that I taught her how to swing a sledge hammer at after I bought her a new Sony Vaio Z Series lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] timshady337:
I checked and i don't have any IBM's, but i have a lot of Dell, Alienware, and Asus. I mostly pick those to work on because of exandability. What would be an ideal laptop you would need for development? (screen size, cpu, gpu)? Of all the laptops i ever had i must say Fujitsu are my favorite by far, if you have/had one you understand. I don't have any portables except for a dell D430 12" only thing is that it has a zif drive not the fastest
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Under 15 inches. At least a dual core, support DDR2 (Since thats the only ram I have, unless you throw some in) For gpu, anything but Intel and hopefully discrete if possible. Not going to be picky lol. Just needs to be similar to my thinkpad. My thinkpad has seen better days, thats for sure. Not gonna lie, they're tough mother ****ers. I actually jumped on mine with the lid shut before to show it won't hurt the screen.
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
I've been working in IT for over 15+ years and personally own about 6 IBM laptops, I'm also Lenovo Warranty Repair Certified and I'd still not jump on those things to prove their durability.

I've seen sales reps break their screens by sitting things on them much lighter than I am. I think the only laptop I would ever say would probably be OK if I jumped on it is a toughbook. Even then, I'm not sure proving its durability that way is all that sensible :P
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Heh, I've been working on laptops for quite awhile myself. A+ and HP, Dell certified with experience in other brands but not certified yet. Essentially I knew it was reinforced with magnesium alloy (same stuff alloy rims are made of) plus I positioned my feet to not land dead center lol. I haven't had a support position for awhile but I still know my stuff. I script at the place I work at now.

[HTC Rezound] Gja88:
I've never owned a HTC device to the point where I've needed to root. How hard is it to achieve root once it's out? Would it be easy to brick the device? I've been waiting for the nexus but at the same time this device really looks great. Deal breaker for me would be how easy would it be to root in the future, and how easy it would be to not brick the device.

P.S. Will this phone receive a lot of development? Hoping maybe CM and other ones? I know it's to early to say, but I don't want an option of two roms like I did with my Droid charge.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
The Invredible and Thunderbolt had 1 click root which was very easy to use.

Sent from my HTC

LTE 4G Rezound
[HTC Rezound] rfarrah:
Once root is achieved, the process is typically pretty easy. Also, changing ROMs has been a breeze with HTC, especially compared to what the Samsung people have had to go through (speaking from experience with my wife's captivate).

I've seen several Incredible 1 and Incredible 2 devs posting in here so I'm expecting some...... Incredible development for this device. :D
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
There is no guarantee that the phone will be rooted but due to the interest and the people working on it I believe it will happen. Just may take some time. Couple weeks a month, who knows.

As far as bricking your phone it is unlikely but does happen on rare occasions especially when the instructions are not followed to the letter.

I know atleast 3 or 4 devs already have basic ROMs ready to roll when we do get root and I see many of my friends from the Incredible forum in here now so I don't think this phone will be ignored.

I for stock have a stock and de-bloated ROM ready to go and started my typical theme-ing and I expect a lot of good tweaks to any already current Sense base.

If that is a big concern for you then wait and see what phones get root and ROMs then decide based on that.
[HTC Rezound] Gja88:
Well I'm in no rush to have root asap. Just hoping I don't get locked into a device that can't achieve it. How long did it typically take for the TB to get rooted? Is the rezound similarly locked down the way the TB was?
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Well I just ordered mine today after seeing some of my favorite developers from the incredible getting them (joel, nils, newt) Hoping we can achieve s-off soon
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
Seems like thunderbolt root as day one or close to it.

I believe that was a very lucky circumstance though.
[HTC Rezound] degenxsn:
if you look at the CM devices list you will see that most of them are HTC so there is an excellent chance it will be rooted and i have seen from the incredible forums that lots of the devs are going to the Rezound and the incredible had tons of roms
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
I'm under the impression that S-Off and/or rooting void the warranty, yes? Soft-roots get around it by resetting at each reboot, right?
[HTC Rezound] zerocool79346:
TB was extremely fast, HTC left a big hole in their security on that phone and it was a quick exploit. The Incredible is a better comparison in my opinion, it took ~2 months to be unlocked, but it did have perm root more quickly if I remember correctly.

It is possible, though much less so than the Razr, that it will never be unlocked. Its a gamble you either have to take or you might look at waiting for the Nexus. If the Rezound never gets unlocked, I don't think we'll ever see another unlocked phone on Verizon as sad as that is.

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Both void the warranty. Usually, it is very easy to roll back and be almost completely untraceable. I've sent multiple rooted and unlocked phones back to Verizon for warranty work (not software) and they never knew.
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Oh, I didn't know that rolling-back was an option. Thanks.
[Focus General] vames86:
I have a problem here. I recently bought a new sim from a different provider, sadly the net settings cannot be saved in my Focus because the device requires that an ip address be added. The settings does not have an ip address, however, I know it works because I tried it in a Nokia E72.

Is there a work around to fix this problem?
[Focus General] Vintage144:
sounds like you just need apn settings for your provider
[Focus General] vames86:
I have the apn and everything else, its just that there is no ip address and this phone refuses to bring up the save option unless one is added.
[Focus General] Vintage144:
What is the radio setting? it may be set differently from what it is supposed to be, look at that , also is this the regular mango update or is it a rom?

check out these numbers as well http://numberportabilitylookup.com/networks?s=

found this on another site for an android fone "All this mess is becaused of a "wrong input" in the field "MNC"... if you search a little in Wikipedia, you will know that MMC and MNC identifies carriers around the world. The thing is that MNC is only 2 numbers (example 03, for Movistar here in México)... but you HAVE TO enter it using 3 digits (example: 030).

This doesn't affect 3G functionality on the phone.

Try it, use 3 digits in both MMC and MNC... then save as usual, your APN name will show up on the list."

or "I discovered that if you power-down the N1, and remove the battery for a while (about 30 seconds when I tried it last night), then re-start the phone, the APN list re-populates.

This is a nuisance if this is going to happen often, although luckily it's only happened to me once thus far."

I've been using Hotmail since 1999 and recently I downloaded Hotmail for android app. Everything was smooth until I tried to enter a new contact, where I found that I cannot do that. Partially I mean. I can only enter the name field and nothing else. I cannot edit the synced contacts too.

because HTML mail was not possible with the default mail app in android and exchange in Hotmail, I used to forward my mail to Gmail and use the Gmail app.

I was very joyed with this app release and now facing this bug.

I googled but couldn't find any solution or similar bug reports.

Am I the only unlucky person or others have this problem too. I'd there any fix for this.

I have already tried removing and re-adding, uninstall and reinstall.

Solution

I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market. It lets you edit the hotmail contacts and sync them back up.

I've only tested it for about a minute, but it seems to work.
[General Questions and Answers] :
I gotta tell you.

I've done a research. Microsoft is aware of the issue since about November/December 2011. SEVEN (the actual manufacturer) confirms it and reports work in progress (in February/March?), an update to the app has been issues by the end of February but the issue has not been addressed and has not yet been resolved.

I used Microsoft's support forums to ask the question, how to sync the contacts then, if nothing works as intended.

One of forum's moderators confirmed the issue, another asked how did I exactly try to sync.

If you would be kind enough to visit the question page yourselves and click "I have that question too", I'd be thankful. Maybe they'd actually do something instead of constantly apologizing and confirming either the issue or the progress of the works...

[General Questions and Answers] Fr3lncr:
Don't know why I never noticed this before when I was using my Galaxy S2 but it hit me today on my Nexus 4. I was trying to find out why Bluetooth handsfree calling through my Garmin wasn't working and it is because the Garmin has all my contacts showing last name first even though they aren't presented that way on the phone. When I tried to view the contact directly through the Contacts app, I saw that it was showing last name first and I couldn't edit the contact to try and fix it.

We are what, over a year since this was first recorded here and still no fix other than a third party app? This wasn't an issue on my BlackBerry.

On top of that, it makes handsfree unusable since there seems to be no way to get the contacts to list with the first name first. The contacts are all fine on Outlook.com so something is getting messed up with how they are presented in Android.
