I have the Ballistic case and the otterbox commuter case, I find the commuter case to be the better one, looks much better, feels better in the hand, and looks like it should provide enough protection for my phone

Best case out there for I777, although a bit to big lol it's great protection for our phones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samstar:
before you think it's a n00b question. i aint a noob and tried many things :)

Oké i think i have a problem, but i don't know what it is...

I have:

- HTC Desire

- Newest recovery rom (i updated it today but don't know exact version

- CM7/r2 HBOOT (143MB)

- newest radio rom (also tried an older one)

- Wiped all (user data/cache/dalvik/even battery stats)

- used a 8GB SD card (7GB FAT32 and 1GB EXT4) --> Used GParted

- used an (brand new) 16GB SD card (15GB FAT32 and 1GB EXT4) --> Used GParted

After flashing (any) rom my HTC Desire (that uses more space) gets stuck in the White (HTC) Splashscreen, when i install just a clean CMod 7 rom it works perfectly.

Anyone has an idea what i can try more?

I tried following roms:

Runnymede_AIO_V2.5.1

Cool3D-Runny-v4-bravo

Runnymede_AIO_V2.5.1._STOCK

InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_A2SD+_1.1.3

InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_CM7_1.1.3

So U are not a n00b but posted the wrong place...? :rolleyes:

and U can only flash CM7R2 ROMs... others will not fitt! If U want to flash other ROMs than CM7R2,

U have to flash another HBOOT first!!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damjand:
Try to change HBOOT...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samstar:
Yeah, i already tried STOCK and CM7/r2 (both tried them twice (re-flashing))
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damjand:
Which recovery are U using?

Try also repartitioning your SD

Flash 4ext recovery, find it via search, and do wiping partitioning etc. from there...

and then flash again...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jakedude2011:
It doesnt matter how many U tried. U have to use

THE

one that fits the ROM

U are trying to flash. See in OP of the ROM what HBOOT is used, and be sure to download the right one also (the ROM can be made for more than one HBOOT!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalua:
Samstar, try this:

1. In Recovery go to "Mounts and storage"

2. Format everything there (except sd-card, I suppose).

3. Try to flash a rom.

Write feedback here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samstar:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

tried partitioning via GParted and MiniTool Partition (both 8 and 16 gb)

Still the same problem occurs, i'll try your suggetion, i'll let you know asap :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samstar:
i have tried HBOOT: CM7/r2 and STOCK (in the list in my starting post you can see witch rom i tried, ofcourse a cm7 rom with cm7 hboot and stock rom with stock hboot :)

did that before all the above named roms :)

Hi

I have rooted my Fire with zergRush and confirmed with adb shell

# id
uid=0 gid=0

but after rebooting the Fire it seems to have gone as the prompt returned to $

Is this usual?

I'm on a MAC and the Fire is 6.2. I can root again but obviously it would be good if it remained after a reboot.

Any help would be much appreciated

edit: but now I'm not so sure.. SU from adb shell returns 'not found' and when running a terminal app I have on the Fire the prompt is $ and SU returns 'permission denied'.
[Kindle Fire General] bsoplinger:
I'm not really one who should answer this as I'll not really up on the different exploits used for rooting but...

My understanding was that zergRush got you a temporary root which was enough to enable you to remount /system as RW which then let's you install su and busybox and the superuser.apk which then gives you permanent root.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Like bsoplinger said,

zergRush is the exploit most are using to gain root, and then while having root allow you to install tools which survive the reboot cycle to continue to provide root from that point on.

Busybox, su and superuser are those tools.
[Kindle Fire General] Rob2too:
Thanks very much, certainly gives me more to go on although I'm a bit confused as to when I should be installing tools using adb and when I should be using a file manager. Probably neither and I have the wrong end of the stick :) no probs.. on on

edit: I think I've got it... :) can't thank you enough your advice has saved me hours I'm sure but I will wait till the morning. I'd rather brick it with a fresh head than the one on my shoulders now.:D

Hi,

I am planning on signing up with a contract for AT&T for their new phone, the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket, but I have been hearing that AT&T have been throttling those who have the unlimited plan. I am planning on signing up for the 250mb then calling in to get the unlimited plan (grandfathered) from someone on ebay.

Anyone got any advice or clue to settle this issue if not i will be getting the iphone 4s instead.

thx
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
You first need to configure the kernel module, as SetCpu is only there for switching the maximum down from what the tables are saying.

Remarks: 1100mhz@65vsel did not seem stable: FC's, strange behaviour. So I bumped the volts a notch. This seems stable, but not yet entirely sure. It may need just a bit more, 68, 69 or even 70...

For understanding more, I did the calc how much volts the different vsels really yield (based on $auron's formula )

vsel

60 = 1,35V (default for 1Ghz)

65 = 1,4125V

67 = 1,4375V

70 = 1,475V

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Well I have some strange issues with that too. Before updating to RC4 it would always be ok to use FileExpert in root mode to edit the file. But now, that leads to error when saving, ie no rights.

I have to go into FileManager or what the other thing is called (also root capable), rename the cpugovernor to cpugovernor.txt, edit it, then I can save. Then rename it, (re)start CPUGovernor: then the settings DO take succesfully.

Archos 70it.

I have tried 1.6rc4 both with 1.6b1 kernelocuv and with 1.6rc4 at 60& 1100000.

Both were stable and fast. I may prefer the first one.

Are there any advantages- disadvantages to either of them?
[Gen8 General] $aur0n:
Well yes - second on is better ;) You can do ALL what was done in OCUV (just rewrite cpu table) in RC5+ - but you may disable it with few clicks and test configuration that suits you best.

ps. I've added link to this thread in manual for overclocking.

ps2. Free "root capable" file explorer is FileExpert (default file manager since UrukDroid 1.5) - you just need to enable this feature in it's configuration menu.
[Gen8 General] kixs97:
@$aur0n

I have installed UrukDroid 1.6.4 and wanted to overclock the Archos 101 with the help of you manual.

My current cpugovernor stats output:

Uruk-CPUGovernor statistics:
Current governor: interactive
Overclock module: Enabled
Current max vsel: 66
Current max rate: 1000000
CPU Max: 1000000
CPU Min: 300000
Available frequencies: 1000000 800000 600000 300000
CPU statistics (tick spend in every frequency range):
1 GHz had 17458 ticks (8.18%)
800 MHz had 20275 ticks (9.50%)
600 MHz had 31112 ticks (14.58%)
300 MHz had 144634 ticks (67.75%)

Then I try to manualy set the vsel and rate with:

echo 66 > /proc/overclock/max_vsel
echo 1000000 > /proc/overclock/max_rate

and whatever numbers I set, the Archos reboots instantly. I even tried setting max_rate to 900000 and it also rebooted!?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Edit:

I did the rest in your manual and set the right memory addresses... damn, I thought these are automatically set - it seems they could be. Now lets try to set the real max ;)

Edit2:

OC = 1.1Ghz ; Max_vsel=68 == Enough for me.

Im on android 2.3.7

What am i doing wrong thanks.
[HD2 Accessories] russ0035:
Found this post while trying to do the same thing

I checked the manual for the keyboard, and it reminded me that it was designed for PS3 and not running a normal bluetooth stack, so the pairing process is a little different.

Switch the keyboard off, switch it on, press reset. This makes the keyboard discoverable.

Tell your Android device to look for new devices, find the Mediaboard, try to pair.

Enter 0000 as the pairing code on your android. Then, type 0000[Enter] on the keyboard. You should now be paired.

Your phone should now list the keyboard as "Paired, but not connected" and you'll still not have a working keyboard, but you'll have made as much progress as I've made.

Let me know if you figure out how to connect!

Hey everyone.

I'm the manager for a college radio station and I've got some programming experience at the university level, additionally two of my staff members are CompSci majors, so they've got even more experience than me.

The three of us were talking the other day and want to develop a mobile app for our radio station (we stream online), and really got excited about the idea.

I've been searching around on google for a bit, but I'm having trouble finding some documentation for writing applications to play MMS streams (which is how our station broadcasts) in Java (for android) and Obj-C (for iOS). I've found a few ancient libraries for Java (one caled JavaMMS, but it's only for downloading MMS streams), and everything I see for Objective-C suggests that MMS streams will be unplayable on iOS (which would suck).

I'm fairly new to a lot of this, but if anyone has some resources I could use to get started, it would be a huge help, as a lot of the Java references keep sending me back to JavaMMS, and I know there are apps on the Android market at least that play MMS streams, so it is possible.

So, just to make a clear question, what is required to set up an app to stream MMS in Java (and Obj-C if possible)?

Thanks in advanced to anyone who has some info

Hi guys,I bought a Xperia Mini Pro to my girlfriend.

Like my Xperia Mini has the worst touchscreen that I ever seen/touched.

Try to play Fruit Ninja is impossible,because the touchscreen lose your fingers.

If you draw a circle very fast with a paint app,it's lose your touch.

This is annoying when I navigate on the browser or scroll contacts and music.

Why no one has noticed this problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] peexl:
The only problem on your list that i noticed is with fruit ninja but the weird thing is that it's working well with the other app called fruit slice

That's the only problem i noticed about the touchscreen in 2 month of use (sk17)

otherwise I am quite satisfied.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acb123:

I advice you to download "Multi Touch Paint" and you will discover how malfunctioning this touchscreen.

Use this app in "Kids Mode" and made a continuos circle very fast.

In Xperia Mini Pro the touch screen is crazy,because the pen is going where don't touch.

I send it to Sony Ericsson Support,I hope that they can fix it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cmfan:
Using an (constantly under RAM pressure) X8 at the moment I unfortunately have to agree that touchscreen responsiveness is noticeably inferior on both the mini and the mini pro. I noticed when using the device one handed, i.e. operating the screen with the thumb. Fast scrolling is nearly not possible. We're not talking about performance here, the device ist fast. It is about the digitizer being unable to register quick flings over a short distance.

To visualize this I tried Kids Paint Free. It simply draws gestures with random colors for each stroke. This is perfect to determine whether the digitizer has lost the finger: if it has, a new color will be drawn.

I drawed a couple of QUICK vertical up-down flings of about one inch length each at about four strokes per second. The X8 registered these correctly and displayed them at the given length. The mini (and also a mini pro I tried at a local store) registered only at most half an inch of the movement. If you increase gesture speed even further, some are being registered as taps (resulting in a dot being drawn)!

This is exactly what happens when scrolling around: it feels laggy, because you can't input a certain length of fling in a short time, i.e. "give power to the scroll". Occasionally you might even end up with a false tap where you actually wanted a scroll.

Another test is to start on the upper right corner an try to fill the whole screen by diagonally wiping to an fro until you reach the lower left corner. This will even end up in the digitizer not responding until you lift the finger again. It was not possible to fill the screen in one long gesture! Again no problem on the X8.

I returned my mini yesterday for this very reason, it renders the device unusable to me. A real pity, given the otherwise good specs of it.

Now: have I encountered defective devices? Can anyboy confirm? Is there a parameter to set some kind of progression like with mouse pointers on a PC?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Theonewithideas:

Touchscreen responsiveness Xperia Mini (Pro)

Hi all,

thank you for your input. Please don't blame the thread title, I didn't choose it and just didn't want to clutter the forum with another thread on the same topic.

Just for the right scope: my Mini did not overheat in any way, the two soft buttons worked perfectly. Also I'm not complaining about scrolling performance of the OS or the device. Once it scrolls, it does so smooth, lag-free and fast. I'm all about giving drive or momentum into quick (respectively short) strokes.

Please find two screenshots made with Kids Paint to illustrate what I mean. Sorry that I may not yet post image links. I'd be glad if anyone who is content with his or her digitizer performance could try the same on a their mini (pro)s. The APK is also attached.

Test case 1 (vertical flings):

Speed is absolutely of the essence. This screen has to be drawn in less than three seconds. There's no point in doing it slower, it will work. On the Minis I tried it was not possible to get the lines that long in the given time.

Test case 2 (screen fill):

Start at the upper right corner and fill the screen in one continuous stroke. Again, this has to be done in at most five seconds. I have not been able to do so, the Mini's digitizer lost my finger (new color drawn) and stopped completely reacting at about 3/4 of the screen.

I'd happily accept that I had devices from a defective lot and try another. I wouldn't invest time here on this issue if I didn't think that the Mini was THE phone for me (price- and spec-wise).
