Hi,

I'm trying to buy/pre order a Nokia Lumia 800 Cyan sim free. I know the Cyan model is not out yet so I would still like to know the best place to get this.

I tried phones4u but they don't post to Ireland, any ideas? Thanks

I just built a 300 kohm USB jig for my girlfriend's GS2 (for booting into download mode and wiping the custom binary download counter), and I was wondering if anybody could verify if it works on the Galaxy Nexus.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Miracle_Nosh:
You shouldn't need it; I accidentally booted into download mode first time I started my Nexus by holding down Power and either volume up or down... or both (can't remember! Sorry) .Whichever it was, I seem to remember it calls itself "Odin Mode" up in the top left, and displays the usual "Do not turn off target!" text.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
The Nexus phones don't have those anti-modding features so you shouldn't need it. It's a developer phone so they expect you to fiddle with the software on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
not entirely correct

even the old Nexus S is able to go into Download Mode by plugging in a USB jig to flash it back to live with ODIN ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] papayaforever:
need to reroot my gs2 since i exchanged my old one due to some problem. anyway, i know i used Superuser-3.0.5-efgh-signed last time. but i saw a new version Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed. i am one of those person who like everything up to date so is it okay to use 3.0.6? or i have to use 3.0.5.

thanks!

p.s. i think this belong in the Development forum, but since i am new i can't post there yet. please move.

Right section. And you can use the newer version of su. It was updated yesterday.

I'd like to know if there is an application for setting up backup on the sd syncronized with a cloud service.

Maybe this is what you're looking for:

I'm using that program (foldersync) and it looks very stable and realiable.

After trying some others, I'm sticking with it.

Until I find something even more powerful, that is ;-)
[General Questions and Answers] m3w2:
Hi,

During the last two weeks I've been trying to do some simple USB communication using my Xoom (MZ601) as USB host. This have proven to be harder than I expected and my latest theory is that the USB API not activated on my tablet.

My simplest test app just tries to enumerate USB devices and is as follows:

I added this to my AndroidManifest.xml:

...
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="12" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.usb.host" />
...

My activity looks like:

public class USBFinderActivity extends Activity
{
private static final String TAG = "USB Finder";
private UsbManager mManager;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

mManager = (UsbManager)getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);
Log.i(TAG, "Manager is: " + mManager.toString());
Log.i(TAG, "Device are: " + mManager.getDeviceList().toString());
for (UsbDevice device : mManager.getDeviceList().values())
{
Log.i(TAG, "Device: " + device.toString());
}
}
}

But all I get is:

D/USB Finder( 3157): Manager is: android.hardware.usb.UsbManager@407646e0
D/USB Finder( 3157): Device are: {}

I have tried this together with my mouse, USB-memory headset and HTC Desire in combination with the following ROMs: Stock 3.1, Stock + Rooted 3.2.2, Tiamat 2.1-Hammerhead and Tiamat 2.2.2-Moray, but the result is the same.

Some other tests I've done are:

USB-mouse works out of the box for all the different ROM:s.

USB-memorys work good with Tiamat ROM:s.

USB-headset shows up in logcat, dmesg and lsusb at least.

Connecting the Xoom to my HTC Desire and run AdbTest without success

Testing the market app USB Device Info. Devices show up under the Linux tab, but the Android Tab say "No devices detected".

I've spent a lot of time searching information. I'm not alone with this problem. There are more people who has the same problem, while others get it to work directly. I can not see any connection to why it works for some and others not. It's spread over different makes, models and versions.

So if anyone out there got some experience or information about this, feel free to post. I'm starting to run out of debugging ideas.
[General Questions and Answers] m3w2:
Solution

Apparently the US-Wifi (MZ604) is a GDE (Google Device Experience) tablet. This means that it is Google that handles the updates for the device, without any involving from Motorola. For all other devices, Motorola customize the software before shipping it to the users.

For some reason, Motorola's software does not support the USB-host API. So if you want to enable USB-host you on your MZ601 will have to change the device software to US-Wifi (MZ604).

My Xoom is a WiFi/3G MZ601 bought in Sweden. I think the original image was “Build H.6.1-38-1”. I changed the image to “HWI69 for US Retail” (MZ604), installed the over-the-air updates and now USB-host is work as it is supposed to.

[HTC Sensation] oj0043:
Hey guys I'm looking to get the HTC Sensation, But I need to know a few things. Is the rom development good? Especially towards ICS? What accessories should I buy that I need? And is it worth getting rid of my g2x for it? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] oj0043:
OK thank you! The big reason is that I personally think a 4 inch screen is too small for me. Don't get me wrong I love stock Android but I always need to change my phones customization that's why I love sense. And I love the build quality of HTC phones. And the g2x's Rom development is dead. Basically.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
ya i agree about the build quality and the sense being a top selling point. i love the sensation and with it being one of the few devices getting ICS first (at least as of now) the development should be going strong for at least 6 monthsd from now.

That is a long time in android years lol
[HTC Sensation] oj0043:
Awesome. Will be getting it next week. What about CM7? If I ever choose to go back to stock?
[HTC Sensation] kdm212:
i have both phones and have the sensation as my daily. while i like the sensation slightly more i must say the sense is what keeps me. i hated sense until i really started to use it and im now hooked. i also think though that the g2x has a much sharper and nicer screen.

performance wise i have tested both side to side and the only thing the lg wins in testing over the sensation is neocore (nvidia processors). 78.9fps to 60fps. however linpack and quadrant the sensation takes the cake.

generic testing i know. but it does help to some degree.
[HTC Sensation] oj0043:
Wait you think the G2X has a batter screen?
[HTC Sensation] kdm212:
I'm not trying to say the sensation screen sucks. As a matter of fact the resolution is greater than the the one on the g2x. However I must say that the screen seems richer and sharper on the g2x. Just my 2 cents...
[HTC Sensation] duglas:
I have both the G2X and the Sensation and I like the Sensation better. The G2X seems faster and benchmarks faster, but both are fast enough and the bigger screen on the Sensation is my main reason..

I also have a Tmobile Galaxy S2 but I actually do not use it anymore and switched back to the Sensation because the S2 is too big, it is hard to use with one hand and a pain to carry around..

All 3 have custom roms on them and whichever gets a stable ICS first will be my new daily use phone...
[HTC Sensation] kdm212:
the s2 looks amazing and has amazing specs. seeing as you have all three phones is it hands down the best for performance outta the 3? also i love the screen but i think 4.3 is about the biggest id need.
[HTC Sensation] oj0043:
Yea okay I'm definitely switching because the g2x has a nvidia processor and there is no way there going to give the drivers out. So no ICS for the g2x until the official release.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] CB.NET:
hello,

I'm programming a WP7-App, i have a letter (for example the "A").

How can i recognize the input and match the correct character ?

sorry for my bad english :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ireyn:
You can cast chars to ints.

see: http://www.asciitable.com/

In the table in that link, note that 'A' corresponds to a decimal number 65. When you cast your char 'A' to an int, it will turn into 65.

Similarly, (int)'a' is 97. And 'a' - ch, where ch = 'b', is equal to -1. Doing subtraction of chars automatically converts to integers. Casting the whole string to lowercase and then checking (currentChar - 'a' < 26) is a great way to check if you're looking at an alphabetic character (a through z).
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] CB.NET:
Thanks for the answer...

the "A" is only an example caracter.

in the real world example i use japanese caracters.

the user shall be paint the correct caracter in my app, like this on the picture...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
That will be an insanely difficult task. Actually this in general takes years of study in order to accomplish :(

Handwriting recognition is one of the hardest things to accomplish.

If you do want to give it a shot, my suggestion:

Crop and rescale the images, and than determine patterns for each letter, thus an A can be build from 3 linear formules, check if the drawing matches this structure. You can than compute the derivatives of the drawings and from those derivatives cross check them with a database to determine which letter it is.

But this is extremely difficult, we tried to read digits in a sudoku puzzle which was already quite a difficult task to accomplish (and we tried to reference it against a database with images, as well as checking several characteristic points in a figure etc) this went OK with printed letters, but with handwritten it was a disaster. Not trying to discourage you, maybe there are libraries out there which you can use, but I would reconsider what you are trying to accomplish and determine an approach for yourself.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] lseidman:
I highly recommend making a class of "Cases" this way if it detects "A" it uses the "A" case select opposed to making a ton of "if" and "else" statements.

Better yet... You always could use an if/else statement or have an array of listed recognized items...

Here is something that might help: http://joshsmithonwpf.wordpress.com/2007/06/12/searching-for-items-in-a-listbox.

Nice ive been waiting on this...i searched but cannot find the new app, nor the update. Care to share?

Since it is a free app, I'm assuming it is ok to share it here.

Here it is...

However, I only get audio, no video.

[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
Anybody getting video?
[Acer Iconia A500] btucker2003:
nope...:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
No video or sound for me, just black screnn.

I downloaded straight off the market.

Running taboonay 2.2 w/ richards 3.7.
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Works but finicky on startup

Im running market version of crackle on stock 3.2.

Its kind of quirky.....if you open the app and choose your movie or show, you will then get a split screen. black screen with blue swirling circle at top and movie info at bottom.......when you see this just hit the home button to exit out of the app.

Then reopen the crackle app and wait a few seconds and the movie will start.

Tap on the movie to see the full screen button at lower right.

Works every time on my machine.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Quite a few sites I use have images that don't load since I switched to thor's rom. I had this problem on stock before switching to taboonay now have it again on thor. Sites like football365 have a lotof images that don't load with either an android upside down saying webpage cannot be loaded or a little blue box with a ?

I've been through every browser on the market and it's always the same. Anyone any ideas on what's going wrong? I don't want to switch roms again (loving the speed of thor) :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Seems no-one else has this problem then? Must be some kind of hex on me then.
[Acer Iconia A500] spike1969:
Hi,

Only thing I've had a similar problem with is when I installed some ad blocking software which modified the host file. Once I uninstalled it and copied my original host file back, the problem was resolved.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
I had the same problem too and did the same thing but this seems to be something else. I flashed my nandroid backup of taboonay 2.2 and no problems now so definitely a problem with thor rom. Pity I really liked that rom.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Strange, I'm using Thor's ROM and images load just fine for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
That's what has me so confused. I haven't heard of this issue in any of the threads relating to thor's rom. I've flashed quite a few roms and none have had this problem except when I was using the ad block app. I'm sure it's nothing I have done as I did a full wipe (as always) before flashing and didn't touch the settings at all. :confused:

Anyway as I said I'm back on taboonay now until the next version of thor is released then I'll give it another shot. I'm not giving up just yet. I love thor's roms
[Acer Iconia A500] fierro315:
On the Thor's rom the images and animations of advertising are locked so that the page will load faster, this is done from the hosts file redirecting to 127.0.0.1 advertising pages, you can edit the host file and delete the entries that redirect 127.0.0.1 for that advertising images are loaded, but that will make the pages take more time.

Ok didn't know that. Will look into how I can do it thanks.

This phone has managed to somehow even make up for sprints already known slow 3g/data. The resolution quality is awesome.Thumbs up for motorolas well known radio quality on theyre devices ..if you want best radio/signal this device hands down has it ...even in bad signal areas it pushes data through.

Buffering ..processing speed is perfect highly reccomended device over evo or gsg2

i know you will ask why would i want this but if it is possible surely it means we could use stuff from apple ios to use on android
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
As you will see with that link, it's not a port of iOS itself but based on Android Gingerbread. The OS is themed with iOS apps, NOT the iOS itself. I'm assuming you mean you want the ROM in the link to be ported, which is unrealistic as the ROM is probably for HDPI devices and too much resizing will be needed. However he does mention it is CM7-based which means it may work (as CM7 works on the Wildfire)if completed.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankurcul:
Bro,i personally dosen't like apple ios and i would never port it on my wildfire....

Porting apple ios to wildfire is next to impossible because it will need many changes in xml files converting it to mdpi and then supporting armv6 processor which is itself a huge task...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iReece2k11:
We cannot use Apple apps on Android. They use totally different version of Java or something. I would love to though. iOS is all eye candy.

It actually looks like a version of MIUI that's not been fully resized.

I want MIUI on my wildfire, but it is a dream that cannot happen unless everyone works together. But, since there will be no benefit from it, nobody is really willing...

Maybe one day...

EDIT:

If you want a iOS style launcher, search up "Espier Launcher"

It is a 100% imitation. It has the folders, spotlight, wiggling apps when uninstalling, multitasking bar and power controls in the multitasking bar etc.

I have not seen a good iPhone lockscreen imitation yet working on the wildfire (Widgetlocker doesn't have the text, so it isn't a perfect imitation...)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck Finley.:
Why would anyone possibly want that?

Android seems like a far more reasonable OS for smart phones.

If you wanted iOS you could of just bought an iPhone and enjoy the kiddo version of a smart phone.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iReece2k11:
This is why people hate Android lovers like us.

You stating that "Android is just better both OS-wise and design-wise"

Well, OS? No, everyone agrees it is still slightly buggy. Has a few more features than an iPhone, but overall more buggy and unstable.

iOS is a highly polished OS, he clearly wants it for the design of it all. I for one would want an iOS theme on my Android, so I can have the functionality of Android and the sexiness of iOS.

Anyway, iOS can have almost every Android feature once Jailbroken, so it isn't much of a kiddie version.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandon2x:
Im not sure what all of the complaining I've read on here is all about cause this phone is amazing. I've had just about every Verizon android phone made and this byfar blows them all out if the water. It is so fast and responsive. Screen is completely adequate. Every other phone I've had has always had a major issue (except the droid x) but the bionic to me is flawless. I haven't dropped data, calls are clear, internet flies, etc. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I have an upgrade coming on dec 9th. Ill probably use it to by that stupid nexus samsung phone and resell it for double to have some extra christmas cash. Haha. Go Motorola...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Robbies7897:
I agree. This phone has been great for me as well. While the camera wasn't amazing, the leaked OTA improved both that and the data drops for me. This is the only Android phone I've been happy with stock, which is saying a lot lol. This is also my first Verizon phone. Coming from Sprint, this network is far superior- and I have 4G nearly everywhere I go. I couldn't ask for more from a phone. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandon2x:
Heck yeah. I haven't rooted or done a leaked update yet because my laptop is currently down... don't know if I actually will though. Other than the camera focusing a tad slow I see no reason not to wait for the official ota.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] technomaje:
I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to comment. Like with my Thunderbolt, I'm reading every thread that's interesting.

I got my Bionic on Thursday and I'm loving it. I loved my Thunderbolt, and loved it even more after rooting. The Bionic is running very smooth for me, with only a few data drops yesterday, that I'm not so sure was related to the building that I was in. I'm not sure I want to root it. Nandroid backups and Titanium are the only things I sort of miss at the moment. I know it'll come, but will be a while. Like my Thunderbolt and Xoom were.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RockyC33:
I have to agree too! However, this is technically my first smartphone, so I would be happy with any Android device, I believe. I did have the LG Revolution for 1 week before my Bionic. I always wanted the Bionic first, but there was a mix and I got the Revolution instead. The Bionic certainly blows the Revolution out of the water. I was also hesitant to root my Bionic because I didn't see the reason for it other than tethering. But I did root it and have had no issues, except some that were due to my inexperience with smartphones an rooting.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Root it to freeze bloat and block ads if anything. Plus make a backup.

I loved my bionic too, but wait until the data drops happen enough. You'll edit your post. It made me bonkers.

Glad you're happy though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Juroid:
My first 2 set of Bionic's had battery draining issue, data dropping out of the blue, phone going into sleep and not waking. After 2nd replacement and 5.5.893 update, no issues not so ever. My 4g was out of service few times but that was due to Verizon network NOT the phone itself. I rarely drop data, if any and battery life is great (I have extended battery).

So far so good:D:D:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 340DartMan:
I went from an LG 800g Tracfone to the Bionic. So it was a big leap outta the 19th century for me too. But even compared to other phones I've seen, I love my Bionic. I rooted about three weeks after purchase, Titanium BU, froze a few apps, got used to the phone, and over time have downloaded over 100 apps. Don't use half of them! LOL! But this little computer is awesome! :)

Now it is time to 4ever root, and go to 893. Not sure about 901 yet. I might be patient and wait for Moto to send it out. But a lot of folks like 901!

I agree 100%. I actually very much like the stock user interface, and this phone FLIES. I live in an area where there is no 4G (yet) and I browse the internet faster than some of my friends with AT&T HSPA+ phones. This phone is freaking amazing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
The people who complain about the bionic, will complain about any phone they get. Many of them are just looking for an excuse to get a newer phone such as the razr or the galaxy nexus. Some of them need to be slapped around and told "your acting like an apple fanboy".
