[Dell Streak 7] magicland:
Finally got around to installing the dock in my Mountaineer. Just for a "proof of concept" trial I put in an old Kenwood single-DIN HU that I had lying around. Used 3M heavy duty "Velcro" on both the bottom of the dock and in the slot in the dash adapter (this one is from Metra, Scosche also makes one, but I don't know how well that will work).

Streak is tethered to my cell, so I get internet access for nav, tune-in radio pro, Iheart radio, Google Music, Netflix, etc. Unit is powered by the OEM T-Mobile car adapter. No video out yet (and I was wondering if the line out audio cuts out if the HDMI is used or not). I've got the USB cable hooked up and running to the glove box for access, but I've got no use for it as yet.

Simple, easy hookup, but it looks pretty decent when the tablet is hooked up, and despite washboard roads and high speed sharp turns, it stays put and working. Now I just wish there was an app that would allow me to use the tablet as a bluetooth adapter for my phone, so I can place and answer calls...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melliwuk:
i have a program that relies on constant gps location but it wont connect to the gps on my i9000 is the gps routed to programs via "com" ports? if so is there a way of finding out what port its on and if i can find out what port the program uses?

its not that the gps isnt working cause it works for all other apps that use it, also i know the app uses gps exclusivly not the getbestprovider() function im just wondering if getting the gps info is different od different devices or does the os talk to the hardware then pass on the data to the app?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mkt123123:
Hey guys, I have the galaxy note and am in freaking LOVE with it, best $700 Ive spent (excluding that time with Babmi, but i digress:))..anyway....I bought a real 4g ATT monthly plan for like $70/month with employee discount...i put the SIM in and had to manually put in the APN to get data. Ive tried a couple of different APN and the DL speeds range from crap to like 6-7MBS ON THE SAME APN, like its totally random. My Q is, are the APN 'all or nothing?'...meaning if the APN works is it fully functional, full H+ speeds etc, or are some of the APN 'limited' in their speed? Hope the Q makes sense, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedspringlex:
i would check at&t's 4 g map to make sure you are in the dark blue zone to help determine what speeds you should be getting. i am actually coded for a 4g plan with them but since i am not in a 4g area the best i csn do is around 3mbs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
There are only two apn settings for AT&T. Right now they both give the same service, but it's possible that in the future they'll limit the non-4g dumbphone one. If you're on the 4g smartphone plan and were able to get 6-7Mbps even for a second, your settings are correct and you can't do any better. It's all up to AT&T's coverage now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mkt123123:
And once I have the right settings, do I have to change them from time to time? Or should it be good for the remainder?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
That would be about right for real world H+ speeds. Standard hsdpa 3g on ATT(not Plus) will give you about 3,000-4,000 kbps down and about 1,000 kbps up. hsdpa+ is only 2 times as fast down(real world), and about the same up.

While that's not very good when you compare it to LTE, it's really good when you compare to to other "3G' speeds. It's really "good" 3G, but it's still 3G, don't let them fool you.

Hey everyone,

was getting my tablet ready to sell today and while doing the unroot technique....Bricked my tablet. I was stuck on the Asus screen with the speakers popping every 10-15 seconds. I'm currently trying to use the nvflash tool to get out of this but its not doing anything besides sitting on a screen that says Entering NvFlash recovery mode....but the actual nvflash program isnt doing anything.....

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neon01:
This only seems to be the case when I have the phone plugged in and charging: if I turn the phone off, naturally I get the battery charging icon in the center of a black screen. After this, the power button does nothing, even if I pull the charger from the phone. Further, the charging icon does not go away once the charger is pulled. At that point, I have to pull the battery from the back and put it back in to restart.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrroey:
same thing is happening to me as well. are you using francisco's kernel running on stock? if no one else is experiencing this, it may be a specific app or kernel thats not playing well with our devices
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darrendm:
I believe there are a few people are also having the same problem, so I don't think you are alone.

There is a new update being tested at the moment, apparently a major update and should hopefully address some problems (called 4.1.X). So let's hope that this problem is fixed with the update! (I have no clue what the actual update includes so I am only guessing here)

I have this exact same issue when I had Android Revolution HD rom installed with the modified kernel. After restoring back to stock the issue went away. But, I installed a maguro_ITL41F_rooted_deodexed.zip using CWM yesterday and this problem has reappeared. I'm pretty sure the zip included the stock kernel though so this may be an ICS problem.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfd0124:
I've noticed that when I odin back to stock I have wallpapers that were pictures on my SD card deleted months ago. And no, they are not on my SD card, it has been formatted many times. This has always been the case whenever I odin back to a stock package. I figured wiping everything and a full odin starts new. Does the internal memory hang on to some old data? Can it/should it be formatted? Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
Im not 100% on this but I believe it would be coming from your google account.

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with transferring data more than 4GB on my galaxy. In order to mount my phone on mac i'm using the Android File Transfer, but this application is not allow you to transfer a file which is more than 4GB is like the same with the formats Fat32 and NTFS on hard drives. How i can solve this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
at least you can get the android file transfer file to work. mine just sits there doing nothing.

+1 on your question though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I assume it can't transfer over 4GB is because thats the filesize limit for partitions formatted as FAT32. Although I don't know what file system the Galaxy Nexus uses, I assume its FAT32 for compatibility though.

I spoke to the lawyer here in St. Louis that is going after HTC, samsung, Carrier IQ and I wanted to try and help the battle. He said that he is creating a website now that would allow group participation in the suit. This is where the XDA community comes in! He said the more people that jump on board the stronger it will look for a judge. When the website is created, I will post a link where everyone can sign up to go against any company who uses Carrier IQ, and request that they stop.

"Thank you for asking our firm to represent you in connection with this matter. In order for others who have inquired of you and are interested in pursuing this matter, they can follow the link below to a generic consumer fraud report form on our website. We are adding CIQ/Cell Phone specific forms and content as we speak but that probably won’t be available this weekend. In the meantime, anyone can use the form below to contact us about possible representation. They should be sure to include information about the exact make and model of their cell phone, the operating system it is running (Android, iOS, etc.) and their wireless carrier.

[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Us here in the XDA Community understand that HTC and Samsung are not carriers, so I don't see how they can be implemented in the lawsuit. Carrier IQ is installed by the carriers. You should do your research before bringing them into the lawsuit. I don't think you want to get counter-sued.
[General Topics] iceman4357:
I appreciate your concern but research has been performed, and I think you might have to do some of your own research. Manufacturers install the software into the phone by request of carriers. Kind of makes them all responsible. Please read the statements posted in the link below:

http://www.engadget.com/update/carrier-iq-which-companies-have-the-smarts/

Seems to me that the carriers request the manufacturers install it as I read it; meaning that the manufacturers install it themselves and both parties benefit from the information collected.

Either way, under wire tap law ANY company that collects personal information without consent is in violation.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyis:
Is there a way to change where the light sensor readings trigger a change in brightness level?

Currently the phone change from lowest brightness to higher when reads 30lux and change to lowest brightness when reads 10lux.

It's annoying for the phone to change to lowest brightness when i still in a light up room but just pointed away from light sources. And also it's also not switching to higher brightness when i need it in a dim environment.

So, anyone know of some app that can adjust these values? Or point me some direction to work on it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoomFragger:
Light Sensor is Ok, but...

Using z-device test I compared the light sensor readings between SGS2 and the NS. The light sensor seems to be correct. Still, at 10 lux, the SGS2 is setting the brightness value to its lowest and the NS, not.

I'm starting to believe that there is a a problem between the mapping from the light sensor and the brightness level. If I'm not mistaken this can only be fixed/adapted within the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyis:
As from what i read, S2 seems to divide the screen brightness into 5 level

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235212&highlight=auto+brightness

However, the mapping of these five level to it's correspondence light sensors reading seems to be odd.

let's just call lowest brightness as lv1 and highest as lv5,

The phone will stay on lv1 whenever the sensors read from 0-30lux

The phone will drop to lv1 whenever the sensors read 10lux.

The gaps is just too wide to give a pleasant viewing experiences, often stay on lv1 brightness while i'm no longer in pitch black area.

if there is a way to change this, i would prefer to set it as

stay on lv1 whenever sensors read 0-5lux

drop to lv1 whenever sensors read 2lux (the lowest brightness lv is only feasible for me when inside a pitch black environment) :cool:

Since there is a file determine it's brightness value for each lv, so i'm thinking there should also one for it's mapping.
[Nook Color General] stinger608:
Okay picked up this Nook Color very reasonable second hand. It had the Nook Color 1.2 factory OS installed and came with a 8gb N2A card as well. I fired it up and updated to the 1.3 OS however when I try to register the unit it gives me an error that there is issues.

Needless to say after contacting customer service I found out that the serial number is associated with a different email and B&N account.:(

Long story short I have tried to contact the previous owner regarding this issue without any luck. I have read a ton of "unregister your Nook" kind of articles but almost all of them deal with 1.0.1 or 1.1 OS's. None of them work!

Is there any way that any of you know how to unregister this unit without contacting the previous owner? B&N will not, of course, do this! They keep telling me to contact the previous owner and get the account information or have him or her unregister the unit.

any help would be greatly appreciated! :o
[Nook Color General] stinger608:
Well for anyone that is looking to purchase a second hand Nook Color or any of the Nook tablets, be sure to check with the seller to ensure it is deregistered!!!!

I have spent several hours with Barnes and Noble customer support and there is nothing they can/will do until I actually have the original owners shipping address and the last four digits of the credit card that is on file at Barnes and Noble.

Naturally if I had that information I would have been able to contact the original owner and have him or her deregister the unit.

So, bottom line is this: If you purchase a Nook of any sort that is still registered and are unable to get the original owner to deregister the unit you cannot use that unit to log into your Barnes and Noble account! Your left with running modded software. Not really a bad thing, however if you want to have and use a B&N account your pretty much screwed!

That won't work as when you register your device it gets connected with that account and will only work with that account until it is deregistered.

That is exactly correct! If the unit is not deregistered through B&N a person is pretty much screwed being able to use it as a Nook.

there is the screen tap thing that a person can get past the setup crap and enter the factory view, however you cannot get any apps, books, or games to download on the device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Techno79:
I've had a few different Android phones (mainly HTC and Samsung) but the SE Xperia Mini is my first SE Android phone so I may have missed something obvious in the settings. There's a few things I've not been able to figure out.

1. Turning on the phone requires a swipe to unlock. This is fine but I've enabled the pattern lock protection and now I have to swipe to unlock and then put in the pattern unlock. Seems bizarre. On the Samsung Galaxy S2, the swipe to unlock feature is not required when a pattern lock is setup. Is there something similar on the Xperia Mini?

2. The SE's default unlock screen shows missed calls and unread SMS messages. Missed calls count seem to work fine but the unread SMS message count is annoying. I have installed Handcent as my main SMS app but reading the message in there does not clear the message. I have to then open the native SMS application too. How can I avoid this need?

3. I've currently got mobile data network disabled. Everytime I switch on the phone, I get a notification saying "Data traffic is disabled". I suppose this isn't too much of a biggie as it's only on each reboot (hopefully don't need to reboot much). But is there a way to turn this message off?

TIA

I have tried both AdAway and AdFree Android on my Nexus and while both seem to work okay on wi-fi, as soon as I use a mobile data connection the ads show as usual.

Has anybody else noticed this?

(I'm rooted etc. btw)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aylarth:
all I can tell is that I've the same experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Probably because they both use the hosts file to block ads, which is pretty silly and not very reliable.

Solution: use iptables instead. Get a script like this: http://pgl.yoyo.org/as/iplist.php?ipformat=iptables and put it in your userinit.d. Might have to change the location of the iptables executable for Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmonthegas:
Thanks, but excuse the amateurish question, but where can I find the userinit.d?

I've extracted a ROM and tried searching for it but with no success.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Unfortunately I don't have a Galaxy Nexus yet so I don't know where they put userinit.d and iptables in the new version. I hope to put detailed instructions once I get my GN, but that could be a while....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
Haven't checked yet but normally init.d folder is located in...

/etc/init.d

dunno if thats the same as userinit.d though???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmonthegas:
right, I've checked in the /etc/init.d folder and there's three files

87calibration

93zipalign

99complete

I doubt it's any of them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Actually since you are rooted you can just put it in that directory. Doesn't look like it comes with userinit but that's not a big deal, the point of using userinit is so that it lives on /data and not /system so you don't have to replace it everytime you flash /system. Just put the script in there, name it "95firewall", replace the location of the iptables binary in the script (you can find out where iptables lives by typing "which iptables" in the terminal) and chmod and chown it to be the same as the rest of the files in the directory.

Oh yeah and take out "-o eth0" from every line in the script, I don't think Android uses that interface name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleomycin:
adaway adblocking works fine for me regardless of being on wifi or 3g. I don't really understand why there would be a difference, does it reference a separate host file per interface or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I think it may have something to do with proxies. With some SIM cards, Internet access through the cell radio is automatically configured to use a proxy. I've seen this with desktop operating systems: with proxies set up a certain way, domain name resolution bypasses the hosts file completely. Since on Android, this layer is just Linux, it wouldn't surprise me if this is what's happening as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Thanks for the input! I'll give it a try after lunch and see what happens.

I tried briefly last night using a custom script in Droidwall, but I couldn't get it to work properly. That would probably be the ideal method as the rules can just be turned on/off easily from within the app, but I'll give this a try first.

I'll update when I've had a go at it.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Ha, well it would appear I can't try it as I'm running a stock rom which doesn't support init.d

+1 for nike+ on android.
[General Accessories] psychephylax:
I looked into this (Also a Nike+ and Atrix user), unfortunately I don't think it's possible because Nike+ isn't bluetooth, ANT+ (in which case our phone doesn't support it either) and mostlikely uses a proprietary protocol/frequencies for communicating with the foot sensor. Also, Nike signed an exclusive contract with Apple so, while they could create an Android App & some receiver device they won't....Unless they want to lose their lucrative deal with Apple

Also, your GPS is built into the phone and doesn't cost you anything if you have a data plan to get Google Maps. You don't need to pay for it to AT&T (They basically just tell you where your family is, which you can do for free with Latitude)

The few viable solutions that I can see for treadmill running (which is the case why you couldn't use the GPS solutions abundant on Android) are:

Garmin 405 (or similar) watch + footpod sensor which runs ANT+

A Sony phone which has ANT+ which you can pair with footpod and ANT+

MotoActiv which has ANT+ and can be used with a footpod and ANT+

What you really want, that doesn't exist (to my knowledge) is a bluetooth cadence sensor and an Android App to convert the candence information into human readable data like Nike+
