[General Questions and Answers] dpsguard:
Hello All,

I have a fully rooted Archos 101 G8 tablet and have Root Explorer installed. I have edited the required wpa_supplicant.conf file under /data/misc/wifi and tiwlan.ini.

I have MyWi installed on my iPhone 3GS (jailbroken) and set up as adhoc WEP transmitter. And wpa supplicant is correctly setup for this new adhoc SSID and WEP key, as well as tiwlan.ini has wifiadhoc=1.

I can connect fine to this new ssid to my laptop. And I can scan this adhoc ssid on my archos 101 (via wifi explorer app on it), but dont see this under settings / wireless networks. I have tried to add this manually, but it always show as not in range.

I will appreciate if someone can help me connect Archos tablet to my 3G connection via iPhone.

Thanks a lot

[T-Mobile LG G2x] theblaqman:
Anyone know how to go back to the stock screenshot function with Cyanogen / Eagleblood? The one built by them doesn't work right. Instead of just taking a screenshot of what's currently on the screen it takes you to a menu where you have to choose screenshot. Unfortunately it takes you back to the home screen before the menu so you end up with a screenshot of the home screen instead of whatever you WERE looking at.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
mine is working on cyanogen perfectly I have never seen this issue announced. Either way, no there is no way to get the stock screenshot function as of now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
I have never heard of this issue either. If you're still on EB and you really need this feature, you might consider using a CM7 nightly instead until doniqcc updates.

The reason they don't include the feature in CM7 is because the coding for it is proprietary code by LG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Forfeit32:
Hello all, I searched but couldn't find an issue that matched mine.

I rooted with Odin and Superoneclick, and I have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.3. Been trying to flash ROMs from my SD card using CWM. I put the ROMs on the root directory of my SD card.

If I choose "choose zip from sdcard" I get what looks like the root directory of the actual phone, so I tried "choose zip from internal sdcard" and I get the error "E: Can't mount /emmc/"

To clarify, I have my music on my SD card and I have no trouble accessing it to play music. There is nothing else on it but music and ROMs.

Any help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
can you see them in file explorer? I always save them to a folder "ROMS_Kernals" I placed on the on the the internal sdcard ... /mnt/sdcard/ROMS_Kernals

Do you have USB debugging checked in developer settings? Not sure if that matters. But I think it might.

Also be sure its unplugged and not mounted to your PC.

i'm no expert but these are the steps i'd take.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cybercaci:
Mine always end up in /sdcard/downloads - but I guess if you cant even see the mounted card dont matter where they are... Can you see your storage in kiesAir and verify the files are there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Forfeit32:
File Explorer helped, I got it working, thanks a ton. MIUI and Litening both flashed with no problem, but I'm bootlooping CM7 so I'm looking into that.

Thanks again.

hello all , im a new owner of i9003 galaxy S. Recently decided to upgrade my firmware ( had 2.2.1 as default one ). Used Odin . Upgraded to 2.3.6 ( KPQ ) with no problems. Noticed one strange thing , when trying to turn off wifi , it will keep "turning off" state forever , and u cant turn it on after that . Tried 2.3.4/2.3.5 firmwares but they all seem to have this problem.Flashed back to 2.2.1 - no problem , everything seems perfect .
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
How u flashed???? First flash xxkpe then flash xxkpq. Then delete dalvik cache from recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kpobococ:
first flashed to KPM

then KPN

Then KPQ.

Overall tried almost all recent firmwares.

O.S. Can you tell me the exact steps to delete that file plz ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ryryoku:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Before flashing xxkpe have you selected the latona .pit file and selected repartition in Odin?

Follow the xxkpe flashing instructions to the letter, then proceed to flash xxkpq over that (just select it's .tar file as the pda in Odin).

Does anyone know if there is a way to completely remove the status bar in miui? I know you can in cm7 so I was wondering if anyone knew how or if we can?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ki3t1995:
Maybe try erasing the apk file? I'm not 100% sure though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
This would not remove it, it would just force close like crazy since it's integrated into framework.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
By using another launcher, you can hide it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kendall316:
Well that's why I want it removed is because I'm using launcher 7 and it doesn't look well with it. I can only hide it when I'm on my homescreen but once I open messaging or any other app it comes back

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiberglass:
Recently I've noticed some strange behaviour regarding my contacts.

first I save a contact by selecting new contact in the contacts menu.

Then I chose an account under which I want to create the contact.

I never chose phone-only and always sync to the same account, lets call this account 1.

After I save the contact details the contact does not appear in my contact list.

This contact will neither appear in the contacts of account 1 when I log into Google and look at my contacts.

When I search a certain contact name in my phone it says "Contact not found" below which it gives me the option to "Search all contacts".

If I press this option it will show me all the contact information just like I stored it.

I tried searching in other accounts beside account 1 that I could choose when storing the contact but that yielded no results either.

My questions are:

1 Where the **** does my phone store these contacts?? :S

2 Why can't I see them when I log onto Google?

3 How can I get them to display normally under contacts? (and in my Google account contacts)

Additional information:

I run a CM7 NAND-ROM (I think by HyperDroid) on a 512MB version of the HTC LEO

I mainly connect to the internet through Wi-Fi because I'm currently using a pre-paid subscription.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Which method did you use to S-ON?

Umm its kinda hard to understand what your typing you need to type more properly, if english is not your language then please refer to GOOGLE translate, and translate your native language to english

but i will take a try to understand

you where S-OFF and you wanted to go back to S-ON, and when your phone needed to reboot, it rebooted but never turn back on?

and now it wont power on, or show a charge light

and there is no way for you to get into Bootloader or recovery?

yes thats right

[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
I'm pretty sure your phone is bricked. I'm assuming you didn't S-ON properly. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the procedure is that you have to go completely back to stock before doing the S-ON. Many users screw something up here and brick it. You're pretty much out of luck. However, I think dexter's thread has a POSSIBLE fix, haven't looked at that myself. You can look around on the forums there for help, but yes your sensation is currently dead
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
So amazon has these 2 being sold:

Portable Battery $24.99

and Kick stand/exra battery $35.02

The recharger would save the hassel of pulling off the protective glove case and the back cover and ofcourse its cheaper. But i dont know how well the phone would handle the 2200mah?

On the other hand you have the kick stand which is $49.99 on tmobile and its a nice $14+ savings, and the spare battery.

So which would you choose and why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xxKamikazexx:
I actually ordered the second option on your post. Personally I just prefer popping in a new battery than to deal with more cables. Just think, you would have to take your phone out of your pocket and leave it out to charge with that power bank.

Where as with the extra battery all you have to do is switch them out and charge the other one and repeat repeat repeat :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevd22:
Hey,

I recently rooted my desire hd and everything worked fine, I also have radio s-off super cid and eng s-off and i'm running virtuous unity 2.39.0

However when i try to boot into bootloader by holding home then clicking reboot and selecting normal and holding down the volume down button while rebooting, my device just vibrates and then it reboots normally, i can still get into bootloader with adb and by selecting bootloader in the reboot menu also works,

And i already turned fast boot off and it did work before i rooted.

Although in is'nt really a problem i'm just a little affraid that if i flash a rom and it goes into bootloop that i can't get back to recovery to fix it

Can someone tell me why it doesn't boot into bootloader?

Thanks in advance, kevin

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wright9:
I am using the Galaxy Nexus on ICS and like my phones before i like to be able to customize the screen using Launcher Pro and Go Launcher EX, however i have found that after a while of using these apps they seem to stop the messaging app from launching and i just get a black screen. Sometimes this clears after pressing the messaging link about 15-20 times.

If i uninstall these apps then i never have an issue with it. I have emailed both developers and had no reply.

Anyone else experienced this?

Those launchers are not updated so you shouldn't use them until they are.

PLEASE read the stickies in the forum before you post it clearly states that questions belong in the Q&A Forum and not in General..

As for your question install the newset ADWLauncher EX v1.3.3.55 its now fully compatable with ICS and makes everything soo much more useable than the stock launcher.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smashcz:
Go Launcher works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wright9:
Personally ive never liked adw which is why i use launcher pro but i might give the new version a try. I cant wait til the manufacturers rollout ics cos theres a few apps i use that dont work properly yet.

As for the issue personally i have found that on launcher pro and go launcher that this black screen only happens when i exit the messaging app using the back key, if i exit using the home button it never happens.

Hope this helps cnxop.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
The vold provided by Motorola can't mount sdcards formatted to other filesystems than FAT, even though the kernel supports it.

I would like the ability to format my SDcard to EXT4 which our kernel supports.

To do this we would have to patch the vold source and rebuild it.

I have tested to already patched volds, one pure Android and one CM7. Witch didn't work so I suspect that Motorola have modified vold and because vold is GPL the source should be in the sources they have published. But I can't find it, can somebody help me?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
It's not about compiling vold. It's about compiling it with the same libraries Moto have used to compile the one that you can find on the RAZR...

...OR...

You can modify vold so that it will use different libraries (if it's using lib.so, you'll modify it so it will use newlib.so). You would have to copy the alternative libs with the alternative names on your device, too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] buckwheat.phd:
wow - does that mean the internal SD is FAT? That's hard to believe as EXT4 is easily 2x as fast, much more crash resistant, corruption proof and no file size limitations. Why in H*(@&# didn't motorola link EXT4?

You know, the more I use this phone the more I think it was readied around July and sat around in warehouses until the Nov release. They could have at least field tested it to reveal those stupid plastic buttons etc.

Oh well, this phone is still a remarkable piece of work. In comparison, my Samsung's have a bug list about 3 pages long now, so all phones have engineering/build negligence. Again other than the 3 breakable buttons on the Razr that can be impossible to push, some bluetooth issues, and it's menu buttons aren't really ready for ICS, it's a really good phone. The radios on this phone blow AWAY the Samsungs
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pajn:
@kholk

Do you have any more info about that?

Previously i have read that we just need to modify it to mount with filesystem set to auto instead of vfat which I thought sounded very plausible because vold shouldn't need to be able to read from the filesystem.

@buckwheat.phd

unfortunately yes, internal storage is also FAT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
Hey guys,

I am planning on jumping ship, I am just curious if the screen is a fingerprint magnet, or does it repel finger prints like the new screens which have special oleophobic coatings on them?

Also all around the device, does it feel sturdy or just plasticy as the Galaxy S2? is the body a finger print magnet as well?

Thanks a lot in advance guys,

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
You better do it quick - Christmas is coming up and there won`t be enough phones for everybody to buy.

Its hard to explain, but its quite less fingerprint magnetic compared to iPhone 4. Device feels posh and solid from front, but back is plastic and feels a bit cheap. I`m not also fan of this "snake skin" pattern.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
lesser than iPhone 4 sounds fantastic, because I currently own a HTC Desire and a LG Optimus 3D which, well too seem to collect a lot of fingerprints on the screen. I know there are options of using an anti fingerprint screen protectors, but I simply don't want to degrade the experience of that gorgeous screen.

I will keep that in mind *places order now* xD

Thanks a lot for taking time out to reply,

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
The Galaxy Nexus, like the Nexus S before it, has an oleophobic coating on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
I'm also in Dubai.. where are you planning on getting the Nexus from? I contacted Samsung and a few retailers but they don't have a clue to when they phone will arrive. If the SGS2 release is any indication, it will take 2 more months to get here!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
I'm finding that the screen doesn't have a lot of fingerprints left on. I don't usually leave as much fingerprints as most other people anyway (I have pretty dry hands) but compared to other touchscreen devices I have it is leaving noticeably less fingerprints.

As for the rest of the body, the phones doesn't have a glossy finish so there will be no fingerprints at all. From what I have compared to my friend's S2, the device feels similar in the hand in terms of weight and shape, as they are both "plastic" phones.

Having said that I tend to disagree with people who say plastic phones feel cheap compared to metal phones. The Galaxy Nexus feels pretty solid and premium in my hand, with no creaky plastics or awkward edges. Sure it doesn't have the weight you get with metal but I'm not sure why having a heavy phone is a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
This.

I was worried about the feel of the phone too after coming from an HTC Desire but I'm glad I made the move as it feels solid and very well made.

Rik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
I agree, i came from a Nexus One and loved the build of that and was a bit hesitant about the Galaxy's plastic build but it does feel solid. My sister has an S2 and IMO the Nexus feels and looks a much better build quiality, also the colouring of it makes it not feel as plastic.

I still would of preferred a metal backing to the device but i'm not dissapointed with the way it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FatherD:
For my part:The device feels solid, well built, classy. This compares to the Optimus Black (my outgoing device) which had all those qualities, but felt somehow 'less premium', The device before that was the Desire HD - a metal phone that was so badly built it was thrown back, the device before that the first Desire, reasonably well made, slightly plasticy button feel! and before that the Hero - felt bulletproof at the time!

Fingerprints: My better-half has the 4S ... "much less fingerprints than the iPhone" her words, not mine!

A friend has the Galaxy S2, handling it for a few hours around a month ago - is why I waited for the Galaxy Nexus!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I heard rubbing RainX on it once a week will eliminate fingerprints.

Good to know about the coating. My Asus Transformer was nasty until I threw on a nifty screen protector (I wanted one anyway for that 10 incher). I've never tried RainX. My G2x stays pretty clean.
