[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerchew:
anyone get the flixster app to successfully stream their movies on their android device? I tried getting it to work, but whenever i press the "watch now" button, it says "initializing..." and then just stops. nothing happens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jangst123:
Having the same problem on a T-Mobile s II t989

I'm beginning to wonder if it is because I'm rooted!?

Anyone out there have this working!?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerchew:
Yeah latest version of flixster just notified me that i was rooted and there would be issues with security so it wont let me stream. Ideas for workaround anyone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriv:
Cannot watch movies on Flixster (rooted Android device)

Bump. I'm having the same problem. OTA Rootkeeper temp unroot does not solve the problem. It still detects my device as rooted.:mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jangst123:
Works for me!!!

See REF] What will Not work on ROOTed Phones / Work Around

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuerrillaTechnique:
I had the same issue before I learned that streaming video doesn't work on rooted devices. Now I use OTA Root Keeper and it works like a charm for me...
[Nook Color General] WalangAlam:
Tried in stock, cm7, different usb ports, win7, winxp, reboot nc but no joy. My nc wont appear or get detected by my pc.

All I want is to transfer files from pc to nc :(
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Did you click the button in your status bar to enable USB mode?

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] WalangAlam:
which one is that? how will I enable usb mode?

is it the one with wifi, bt, gps, volume icon with the No notification?

how to copy movies and pdf using card reader?
[Nook Color General] NCKevo:
When you plug into the PC, two extra notification icons should appear in the bottom status bar. If these do not appear then ignore the following, if they do appear then...

Pull the status bar up (with the round icon with the green up arrow or touch and drag up), then select the gray text that says "Select to copy files to/from your computer" You should see a little android guy with one button below him saying "click to turn on file transfer" or some such. Then it should show up as a drive on your PC.
[Nook Color General] WalangAlam:
there is no notification icons that appear in the status bar near clock and batt...

It says "No notifications" too in wifi bt crosshair volume bar... :(
[Nook Color General] charklos:
I have the same problem with my nc not showing up...
[Nook Color General] cyaclone:
Can not connect to PC with USB. Using SD to boot to the CM7.

Have not found anything regarding the USB mode.

Where is it?
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
on your OC... Nook NOT connected....

Go into device manager...

View... check "Show hidden devices"

Under Android Phone... delete "Android Composite ADB Interface"

Under Disk Drives.... delete any drives that are "B&N Ebook Disk USB Device"

Under Portable Devices... delete any drevices that are not currently connected

Under Universal Serial Bus controllers...

select each device that is not a "Universal Host Controller" or is not OBVIOUSLY not nook related (i.e. "Apple ...." or "Generic USB Hub" or "SAMSUNG..." etc...

Check the properties of the device... on the "Details" tab... select "Hardware Ids".... delete any that are "USB\VID_2080...."

Install the drivers then connect the Nook
[Nook Color General] alunral:
I actually had this problem for quite a while. Check the microUSB connector on your cable, if it's even a little bit loose, you may need to replace it. Just call B&N up and ask for a replacement, they should give you a free one.
[Nook Color General] WalangAlam:
check everything in device manager but found none of the above.
[Nook Color General] WalangAlam:
its charging and its not bit loose but can't even get detected, not appearing in my pc, and no message from both nc and pc using stock firmware.
[Nook Color General] ThomasKru:
You could check MyPhoneExplorer from http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

Should work on CM7 with USB and WiFi.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Then install the drivers and connect Nook to computer... also as mentioned above check your cable... you can also try a standard uUSB cable and not the nook cable.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
WalangA, are you still having problem or being solved? Let me know, I might able to help.

Also, pls tell us you're running CM7 from where? eMMC or uSD.
[Nook Color General] barbo:
If you have home wifi, here's another option: go to the market and download WiFi File Transfer. Start Wifi File Transfer on your Nook and it will give you a number (something like 192.168.1.3:1234). Open a browser on your desktop and put whatever number shows on the NC into the location of your browser. You can then move files back and forth - no usb cable needed.
[Nook Color General] WalangAlam:
yes. booting fro uSD. I tried to use stock firmware too but no joy.

I'll try to manually install driver and look for normal usb too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Ok we'll im not a huge fan of the folders in ICS. The circles dont do it and the folders look like they've not had much though put into them.

I haven't rooted my device yet as i'm not sure how to and im reading some people are getting boot loop issues.

If anyone wants to help, feel free to post findings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
Try SiMi folders from the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Used it on my DHD.

Its not native so you can't drag and drop etc
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerry1847:
Anyone here know anything about hacking the Ford Sync navigation systems? Im told its windows mobile based, maybe windows ce? I really dont know for sure.

what i really want to do is let my android take over the touchscreen so my phone will be displayed on the nav screen. Just cant find many people who want to experiment with their cars. Ill be willing to test but need help developing.

If anyone else is interested in this project please let me know!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
FORD Sync is based on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive operating system. It should be possible to pair this WinCE unit with your Android based phone via Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables information to be sent between electronic devices that have Bluetooth.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerry1847:
Im not talking about pairing the phone with sync, im talking about my phone taking over sync.

I, like many others, want to use and access apps from the touchscreen. For example, i like google nav. I want to have google navigation displayed on my sync touchscreen and audio from my car speakers. same for pandora, ect.

OR, car home?

I do not believe Bluetooth is fast enough to handle the video, so this project will likley require the device to be plugged into the usb port.

A start will be hacking in and installing a feature that displays video from the usb. next steps would be getting the touch screen to work with the device and support audio(audio can be via Bluetooth anyways)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dean Guilberry:
I would be happy if you could shell out to the CE interface

I have done some programming on CE and XP Embedded and we used to program with almost a full desktop installed then at last minute before delivery to customer we would remove most of the windows interface except a blank desktop and an application launch icon only. I wish we could enable all of the modules in this release. Pretty much anything windows can do...

On Sync if we could still run the standard apps and shell out to use the functionality of CE or XPE that would be awesome. Then you could just use visual studio express and program away for free. (may have to buy CE plugin ) Many Apps are available already.

Oh well I doubt any of this will happen but I would even pay for the keys to unlock Sync from Ford if they offered it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cjranucci:
What about Raspberry Pi integration rather than an Android? If the nav could be used as a display and input interface, the possibilities would be endless. Where can we start?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerry1847:
Good thing i have 2.

Thats the big question, how to use the nav screen that way. The RP would probably be better since it will be way easier to add the touchscreen interface. I wonder if we could just configure the screen to have a 2nd input that can be switched back and forth? sound would be an issue but a good second step.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elzero26:
I know this is an old post but here is a link. Ford finally open sourced their information. http://openxcplatform.com/
[Sony Tablet S] tspx23:
I finally decided to get the white carbon fiber ghost armor to put on my phone. Sorry for the crappy pics right now, will upload better ones when I get my hands on my camera.

What I paid: 37$ for the entire job, it was a definitely a little pricey but I think it was worth it... considering that was including installation... and that now my phone looks SICK. The carbon fiber job doesn't really offer that much protection against drops but it is scratch resistant and pretty durable. The kit will include ghost armor though which you can put underneath and the carbon fiber stuff on top.

If you guys want to just buy it and install it yourselves here is a coupon code for 20% off: Ga4life.

Here are a couple pictures:
[Sony Tablet S] mhunt407:
I'm actually quite interested to see this. Can you repost the pictures as they aren't showing?

Cheers
[Sony Tablet S] d1dd1y:
very interested as well, any way you can fix your pics?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hdlineage:
Hello all,

Since I enabled Xtra download for faster GPS lock, an empty download notification keeps showing up.

It seems it's notifying a background download.

I've tried on different ROMs and have the same problem.

Is there a way to disable this kind of blank notification?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Its the agps conf file downloading... you'll have to configure that gps app for not to update it so often, or try gpstest, and update agps manually under the settings menu....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
No, seriously. I've been wondering this for a while now.

I have big hands, so I almost never used my previous phone with one hand. I usually used the index finger of my other hand to touch everything. The only time this was kind of an issue is if I was eating, and I would often just use my little finger of my other hand since i was holding something.

So I have to admit, it blows my mind when someone sees all the pluses of the Note and their dealbreaker is 'can't use one hand easily? No sale'. What's that all about? I can kind of understand that people are just used to typing with one hand. (and someone to come out with a custom keyboard to fix that).

I can understand rejecting the Note because it doesn't fit in your pocket, or because it's too expensive. That's fine - expected even.

But rejecting the Note because you can't say, reach the notification bar with your thumb? What?

- Frank

P.S. This is often why I tell people it's a tablet, so they naturally expect to use two hands.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Viamonte:
I don't have a frigging clue. I haven't used my phone with a single hand only since my Nokia 5800... People will say all kinds of weird stuff against things they're not used to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twohothardware:
Because it makes it harder for women to put their makeup on in the morning while texting and driving down the road.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
In addition to the texting while driving, it makes it more difficult to browse for porn while jacking off, check your Facebook while flipping through channels with the TV remote, drunk dial while chugging booze, pick your nose while researching on wikipedia, and many other important things.

Ha ha, I actually can use it one handed just about as well as the other phones I've recently used, including the GSII, so no problem with the above activities. My favorite way to browse the web is to hold the phone in portrait orientation with one hand, between thumb and middle finger (thumb on bottom and middle finger on top) and use my index finger to scroll and click links. This works fine on the note; I'm not able to do this with larger tablets, and for this reason I don't use them much. I usually revert to two hands to type, but do so with any size phone, as I prefer Swype.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] watch_mania:
Because you hold your ciggie on your left hand?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kunalparwani:
Lol! Jokes apart, I actually can use it single handedly. Only typing the leftmost column of alphabets can be slightly uncomfortable, albeit do-able...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
i can reach the notification bar with one finger

In terms of screen size, it's not THAT big
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Johnmcl7:
I'm not sure what is difficult to understand about the need for one-handed use, quite simply there at tines I need to use the phone and only have one hand free such as about ten minutes ago when walking the dog. That said I do find I can generally use the Note one-handed but it just needs slightly different positioning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
One handed use is a requirement for me as well, as the poster above me said, there are just to many times when I only have one hand to pull of a quick tid bit of information. If it was not important, I'd stick with the 7" form factor.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bengaz:
Funny you should say that, we have an ipad2 and Ive never touched it since the note came. This is definitely a replacement for a tablet, as I have proved to myself...:)

The only thing better with the ipad2 is the smoothness, pinch to zoom especially.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] audino:
Because one hand using is a thing of mobility.

In my opinion its not just to be able to reache the status bar with one hand its more then this. Sometimes youve only one hand free and the note doesnt feel safety in one hand, im tall (193) my hands are large but using it with one hand it always was uncomfortable...

I love the note for surfing but as a mobile device for every day its too big!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
Since I've always used two hands for things like typing or browsing so, for me, the fact that I can hold the note in one hand and (forget about handwriting for now) hit the keyboard much more accurately and much faster with the S-Pen makes this phone that much more useful for me...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tiamath99:
It´s kind of an odd question. :)

I too usually use the phone with both hands but sometimes its handy to have one hand free, so you can eat or hold a drink while you surf the web (or about any othe million things you can do with one hand).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] _Rom_:
I had a play with a demo one today. I could comfortably use it one handed. Though i apparently have big hands :)

It wouldnt be a deal breaker for me. But its certainly useful. Its generally the odd text, or a bit of browsing whilst eating a sandwich etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Walking the dog is an interesting example, hadn't thought of that one.

A pretty good reason came in another thread - so you can use it while standing on a bus/subway.

- Frank
[G1 General] :
Did you upgrade to 1.33.0013d and completely format your phone partitions before upgrading? It is best to format partitions when switching roms.
[G1 General] GelGen:
I'll contact my friend who did it and see what he did.

I'm assuming if tthis was not done I could potentially ahve a dirty kernel?
[G1 General] Litesorrows:
FroyobyLazlo 5.2 is the final build of FBL. Your running a old version. The drops in data, and other things are based of a lack of Ram possibly. I know it seems unlogical, but its Device 0. The catalsyt to the Zombie hords. :3 It
[G1 General] GelGen:
Yeah then, I have to switch to something else.

In fact, the other day I added an additional problem. After a reboot the phone is now stuck in roaming mode. For the mercy of my phone bill I'm locked out of using data or even amking calls.
[Desire General] JellyXDA:
The desire is a great phone, phenomenal back when it came out, but it is nearing 2 years old and will likely never see an official update again.

I personally will be waiting for a good flagship quad core phone. This looks tempting if it's real :

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/htc-rezound-review/

but we'll see when 2012 comes around.
[Desire General] Terepin:
What, previous thread isn't good enough for you?
[Desire General] sebastianlow:
Galaxy s4, 2013 htc flagship or iphone
[Desire General] Nidzo80:
Probably HAL 9000
[Desire General] KingGeorge85:
The Galaxy Nexus looks very great...so I would wait until HTC offer a Smartphone like the Nexus
[Desire General] ionutrf:
A Samsung Galaxy SII...or the Sensation XL
[Desire General] 00Scott00:
+1! Sensation XL looks awesome...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
anyone saw anything about that htc vile or whatever it was?

seemed crazy specs... will wait till probably mid-next year before i think of a new phone
[Desire General] adyroman:
It will be the first HTC GSM smartphone with a 720p screen available. :)
[Desire General] sieplake:
My guess is it'll be SGS2 ..pricing on that one is great considering the hardware! The ROMS are getting pretty solid aswell :)

Sent from my HTC Runnymede
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Depends on the price, but HTC SensXL or SGS II.
[Desire General] Azurael:
The Desire is already my 'plaything', my daily driver is an Atrix... It's quite likely that my next phone will be the rumored HTC Edge, I just miss the build quality, and the dev community HTC phones seem to attract. But HTC seem to like only making powerful phones which are massive nowadays so although having played with a Sensation more now and liking the size a bit more I might rethink that depending on what it looks like at release (4.7" screen?!)
[Desire General] CCpotter:
Have no idea yet, but i guess it might be another HTC phone, i have a favor of this
[Desire General] 3f1f37:
The rumoured HTC Zeta or HTC Edge.

Google that !!!
[Desire General] goan0900:
i am planing on the galaxy nexus, but i am not sure jet. if not than galaxy s3
[Desire General] elrombios:
HTC Sense-based one, because of reach user experience, because of lack of it in pure google staff. Galaxy Nexus has a hw bug now with GSM900 networks, hope google recalled buggy phones and repair this POS.
[Desire General] cvejleaa:
I'm looking for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but are tempted to await some quad-core phone.
[Desire General] pixelmine:
Probably the nexus prime, when it comes down in price.
[Desire General] WRson:
Loving Htc Sense so my next phone will again be a Htc one.

But I will wait till 2013 i think.
[Desire General] scherfa:
I would choose htc again if they change their update policy... no updates no htc..
[Desire General] bloodrain954:
It's got one small bug, So it's a pos? You're an idiot.
[Desire General] StillTheWatcher:
im waiting for the s3 or something else which will be the next cutting edge hardware, galaxy nexus is beautiful but specs arent that future proof on a 2 yr contract...
[Desire General] kkh786:
I got the Galaxy Nexus sim free on release day but sent it back due to all the publicized issues.

It was a top handset and ICS was great but I somehow missed HTC Sense. I am back on my beloved AMOLED Desire which I also got on release day.

I will probably wait until HTC to release an HD screen ICS dual/quad core handset in the new year and finally decide to increase the RAM from 768mb to 1gb or more.

Also curious about the rumoured upcoming dual core Sony handset.

However, no more Samsung / Motorola / LG handsets for me (had too many bad experiences with all three brands!) :(
[Desire General] shinchan03:
My next phone will be a HTC i think. But which one i'm not sure off. I'm going for a model which many developers buy i think, then you have many custom roms.
[Desire General] womble_sanfran:
I have only just got the desire so will stick with it for at least a year, by then the market will have changed loads so I will re-assess then. I have to say the desire is a very good phone with a good dev community that will be hard to beat.
[Desire General] ionbuddy:
I did it and am unimpressed

Hi, I had already had a go with an S2 and my mate has an XL so spent an evening playing with it. I then went out and bought a SGS2 for myself. I previously had a Desire S-off & CM7. Quite honestly the S2 is a stunning phone and the advantages over the Desire are well documented. Is it worth the change, in my opinion, no!

I offered the S2 to my son who turned it down on the grounds that it could effect the future upgrade of his Desire (S-off, CM7), ungrateful little chap. My daughter was after it, but she loses her Desire (CM7) at least once a week so she can dream on. My wife, a Desire (CM7) owner, has had her phone for 2 years and is still on page 3 of the instructions lol. She ducked it as she said that it didn't really do anything extra, just bigger and prettier.

The S2 is running Exynos which is an excellent rom and well worth trying. I have used it for a month and have no complaints. I am now waiting for the S3. We have used HTC for the last 2 years without complaint but the S2 is a stunning piece of engineering. If the S3 is going to be better I'd wait for the specs before taking out a 2 year contract.

Regards Ion
[Desire General] yabbie:
wait for tegra 3 and maybe the end of 2012...
[Desire General] Furma:
my next phone wont be HTC unless they completely change their philosophy and start making smartphones that can hold battery for more than a day of average use and start designing them so they dont all look like they were made from same model

and my next smartphone will probably have a hardware keyboard cause touchscreen ones suck.

so it will either be motorola or samsung
[Desire General] TasteOfChaoZ:
HTC

My next Phone would be a HTC!!! Im using a HTC Desire ... get it by the roleout and its GO(O)D :cool:.

Yes. Like Desire ^^. But i will wait till end 2012, i think.
[Desire General] ZeGuitarist:
Zeta is just a concept. A hoax, basically. Google that!
[Desire General] InsaneNutter:
My next phone doesn't exist yet, ill happily keep my Desire throughout 2012 as it does everything i need :D
[Desire General] lathanub:
I've had my Desire for a year and still will have it for another year as I have it on a 24 month contract.

I have a chance to upgrade to Samsung Galaxy Nexus this Christmas, though... do you think I should go for it? I love the Desire and how incredibly supported it is by developers but am finding it hard to resist the flavour of the month with ICS on a stronger device.
[Desire General] kkh786:
I returned the Galaxy Nexus with vanilla Android etc..

It was a great handset but I missed good old HTC Sense.. plus there is slim chance of Sense ROMs being cooked up for Galaxy Nexus anyways.

The main reason however was the publicised volume bug.. that was driving me nuts..

I am looking forward to HTC's next flagship ICS handset.. not fussed if it is dual or quad core.. :)
[Desire General] reems2:
xZ

ZSenZtXZz from my HTC Vision using xda premium
[Desire General] Katamave:
I think i get a quadcore phone 2012.
[Desire General] BurnCK:
Might give HTC a miss next time. I really like the style of the Nexus S....quite tempted to go for it..and even though it's not the newest, the fact that ICS will be available for it is a plus point. Galaxy Nexus is tempting, but a bit expensive at present.
[Desire General] ThaBrazzer:
I think i will stick to HTC :). I like Sense very much!
[Desire General] jmw2207:
Yeah my contract is up around july next year. Will def stay with HTC as sense is simple,easy and looks good. Will be interesting to see what HTC do with ICS and the sense UI....

has any dates been set when sense will be on a ICS phone yet?
