[General Questions and Answers] byronc13:
Hi! I am owner of HTC Magic (still android 1.6, no idea how to flash new version :P) and i have 2 problems from this morning i woke up.

PROBLEM #1: For some reason i boot from power button and all i see is a black screen with a blue led (this happens 19/20 times). The first time it started up, everything went ok(tried every single button combo, but i found out that it's just a matter of luck)...System was fine,nothing deleted except one little thing...Trackball was not working properly and many times it did anything it wants and had some hard laggy times!

PROBLEM #2: Even the battery is 100%, in 1 hour it's 0% with the phone being able to cook eggs(The temprature goes really high)!

Also, i tried many times to start it up, cause i didn't notice the battary was flat out...Again ~20tries...

Checked solutions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533240 Nothing matched my problems 100%... :S

UPDATE: I just opened the phone to clean everything.

1)I noticed that the trackball's sensors where REALLY dirty and connectors didn't have a good contact with the board. So, i cleaned them (i disolved it whole) and trackball works fine but up and left is not working at all(maybe i placed the sensors wrong?)...

2)i found out some sand (damn vacations in beaches...) over the battery board and now it works perfect!

3)I still haven't figured why blue led lights up on power up effort...

Any ideas?

I see this all the time and it really really bothers me. People that have done nothing other than read some forum posts that are readily available to anyone with an Internet connection are making money off of others hard work.

I just posted this to my local craigslist.

"Don't get scammed, all of the jailbreaking and rooting methods are available for FREE online.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Android+Root

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=iPhone+Jailbreak

The odds that someone willing to root or jailbreak your phone for cash and being the person that created the method are approximately 0.

I say this because the developers of these methods do it as a hobby and share with their community.

So please, before you spend money on something you can do easily and for free, do a quick Google search.

I'm working on getting a laptop so that I can host "Free ROOTing events" at local coffee shops.

If you're with me I implore you to do the same. If there's a good reason why I shouldn't have done this, please let me know what I'm missing.

The people doing this aren't selling drugs or snatching purses. Is there really something wrong with perusing a legal source of income?

Also, the more people out there with rooted devices the better.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Some people are scared to and would rather let someone else do it as they're scared they'll go wrong, I would say it's okay if they state somewhere it can be done yourself for free :)
[Off-topic] hungry81:
Do you also have a problem with car wahing services? I mean you can do it yourself for free but some people still pay to have it done. Or what about home renovations? Why pay when you can Do it yourself? If a person can google for Unlock/root phone and find the person charging for it surely they must have passed over hundreds of DIY instructions in the process.

[Off-topic] jaszek:
I don't mind them. I mean the people using these services are to stupid to do it themselves anyway, so they chose to pay. I repair computers, and have ads up, and usually you can do all of it yourself. I mean it's not that hard to do a fresh install of Windows.
[Off-topic] watt9493:
But exploits have to be found, hours, if not days of work put into a root method for just ONE phone. That's not like just reinstalling windows, any schlep can do that.

-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
[Off-topic] jaszek:
BUt what we are talking about here is that it's ready to be done. Anyone can do it themselves with an internet connection. But they chose not to.
[Off-topic] phatmanxxl:
Thats the beauty of capitalism, if someone's willing to pay for a service, someone is willing to work and get paid to do that service.

Jordan is right, its the same as washing a car or installing windows. Plus we don't need more noob threads about how they botched the rooting process and bashing the devs because they didn't read the directions. Better to have someone who knows what their doing and get the job done right.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Which is why if a customer first tries to fix something himself, and THEN calls me, I charge them more if they messed something up.
[Off-topic] kclubb:
It's not a scam.... It's a service....

Scam = people paying money to jailbreak a phone for you that doesn't actually jailbreak the phone....

Service = people don't know how or are afraid to jailbreak their phone in fear of bricking their device, or that don't have the expertise to do it themselves.

Personal recomdation, if you use craigslist find someone local, don't send off your phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuboBriff:
Hi Guys, as subject really! Is it possible to get the phone in a "Google" state to pull down updates, obviously meaning the impending ICS one! :)

B
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
I'm implying that you're on a custom ROM at the moment. You'll have to flash one of the stock ROM images, then you can get OTA's again.

It doesn't matter if you're rooted or have an unlocked bootloader.

Greetz
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuboBriff:
Hey mate, thankyou for helping. I've not actually received it yet, bought one off ebay and I am just pre-empting - If you flash stock does the root and unlocked bootloader become standard again??

(I'm upgrading from an old Galaxy 3, so am reasonably familiar with flashing, but want a simple life now and am going stock Google :))

B
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Nope, flashing a stock image will not affect your bootloader being unlocked. You'll have to run the "fastboot oem lock" command to lock the bootloader again. Check one of the turorials here :)

Greetz

//edit: Actually, I'm suddenly not sure of this. Sunday evenings' got me confused. Please wait for someone else to verify.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuboBriff:
Thankyou :) I'll have a look round
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00bfuscator:
I have been flashing several ROMs using ROM Manager and the bootloader wasn't affected by this. The stock OTAs kept unrooting the phone though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
That's normal, the OTA's reset the permissions on key folders, effectively SU looses it's execute permissions, removing root. What i do now is download the OTA to the SD card, apply it, re-apply the SU.zip to keep root, modify the restore-recovery script so i can keep CWM, then reboot.

I'm not sure how it's going to go with ICS, but we shall see.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] doomhammer07:
is it so difficult that no one is willing to try to port this??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ryant22:
It's a big job. As you can see in the videos posted. The app isn't an app but more of a framework that ties itself into the Phonebook, Calender, Music and possibly a lot more and because most newer roms don't use the (default music app, default calender ect...) the code will probably need to be rewritten
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Felimenta97:
I know that in X10, this is already ported

Well, I just made a suggestion. If it can't be done, I don't mind. But if it can be done, it would be a great app.

I just want that thing drag to status bar and share, other things would be a bonus :D

I think Type and Send Widget can't be that hard. I tried to pickup the app and install like normal apk or moving to system/app, setting permissions and bla bla bla.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ke.t:
Hey guys,

My device is stuck on the boot screen. So far all the suggested roots of fixing this through ODIN and other means are not working.

The plain and simple of the matter is that I need to get some photos and other files off the device. I will be utterly devastated if I can't get these back.

Is there anyway of accessing the sdcard from either the Recovery or Download modes using something like ADB?

Thanks for any help in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
If you need to access the SD Card, why don't you deattach it from the phone and use a card reader?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pyrotronics:
Been using custom roms on my Inspire 4g since about March with no serious issues till this week. Sometime around wednesday, my connection to my google account, the connection to talk, market, gmail, etc. Seems to be dropping out and locking up my 4g connection for a minute or two. This is really annoying. I have tried numerous different radio and rom combinations as well as going to the store and getting a new phone. The only thing that keeps it up and running is if I roll back to stock. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have recently tested Absolution, CM7, Android Revolution, and TalonRom with recommended radios per developer instruction to no avail. But am up and running fine with roll back to att gingerbread update via hack kit... :mad:

Any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Marlin29:
I was experiencing loss of background data on both my inspire and my atrix with stock gingerbread, until just recently. The only conclusion I came to was that ATT had a problem, at least in my area, with background data staying connected on 4G phones running gingerbread, except on wifi. About a week and a half ago, I noticed that the problem had mysteriously resolved itself, and I was having no more issues with push to email and other apps. I can only assume it was something they fixed with a network solution. Perhaps this fix has caused a problem with the roms you're using. I know that numerous calls to customer service failed to produce an answer for my issues, it seemed either no one could figure it out, or it was a known issue that they weren't acknowledging.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pyrotronics:
Yes, similar to me. Thanks for the reply. I'll give a Rom a try over the weekend and see if the problem has rectified itself.

So i believe it's a calibrating problem !! Could you show me how to do it ?

I was on Froyo 2.2 before flashing with odin to 2.3.5 and i'm not root :D

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarruz:
froyo -> gingerbread first you have to update bootloader during flash. then recalibrate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_vai:
I think it was updated during the flash process with odin

Where can I get the stock and custom CRT animations?

Erm. Not here.

[HTC EVO 3D] spbobpilot:
They don't know anything yet :/
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, if you didn't find what you were looking for in the Q/A or Themes/App section, you're most definitely not going to find it here. What you're looking for is usually pre-baked into custom ROMs.

The dev forum isn't the place to ask questions, just for future reference.

hello as the past few days we've know and where shown in the news about this carrier iq, i want to remove that little application but appearently is not possible and i think the only way to do it is by taking off stock gingerbread and putting CM7. i have been wanting to move into cyanogenmod bc it seems a better ROM for my tastings and i have tried many instructions on how to put CM7 but it all seems too complicated. Can i get any help on this subject?

Hey so I randomly saw spots and i thought i could just wipe them off but then i realized that they were under the screen? I don't understand how that could have happened but what could you do to get it out of there? and is it safe enough to do so without damaging the device?

I also have a bit of dirt under my screen! :( But mine all seems to be in the top right corner. It doesnt bother me unless my screen is turned off or im in really bright sunlight though. I thought about taking the plunge and trying to take it apart and clean it, but i dont want anything to happen to my precious phone! lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Austin2048:
Take it to AT&T and see if they will replace your phone or at least clean it for you. I have gotten Apple to replace several iPod Touches because they had dirt and dust under the screen
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jaxellis:
That would be amazing but do you think they would still do that if i dont have a contract or service with them? Currently im just using wifi with google voice for calls and SMS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Austin2048:
That might pose a bit of a problem. Why don't you try calling AT&T customer service first. See what they say about it. If they can't do anything about it, maybe HTC can? But I know with HTC they always want you to send your phone in to their service place so they can have "a qualified technician review the phone". So if you are rooted and all that good stuff they might turn you down as well.

Or if you think you're up for it I would just find a few good take apart videos on YouTube for the Inspire (watch them many many many many times) and if you think you can do it, go for it. Just make sure you have the right tools and a few separate containers so you don't lose the screws and can keep them sorted. That way you can get a few cotton swabs and micro fiber cloths and give the whole phone a good cleaning.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jaxellis:
Awesome I'll try that once I get home! Thank you... And I would just unroot before I gave it to HTC:)

Hi guys,

I have this 'app' or whatever it is and its always running in the background and I don't know what it does and why!

It has used 20MB data in 2days..

The 'app' is called 'Play on device' (Afspelen op apparaat) idk if its the completely right translation..

I have a similar thing called 'connected devices' it has the same icon

Could anyone plz tell me what is or tell me if I can safely delete it?

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
DLNA is something to share videos/pictures from your android with your tv or other dlna capable devices.

It should not use the 3G connection though, are you sure it does?

I'm not sure if you can safely delete it, but i would think so.

You could make a backup and just try it...
[General Questions and Answers] Faholo:
Oh probably to connect to my tv with Hdmi..

I looked at what it has access to and it says 'Full internet access'

But I'm not sure if it uses 3g's I see it used allot of wifi with app manager

on mobile internet it only used 0,1mb (28,9mb on wifi) So it probably only rlly works on wifi?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
I think so.
[General Questions and Answers] skuffle:
The 'Play on Device' and 'Connected Devices' apps will look for other DLNA-compatible devices (like a PS3, Xbox 360 or a Sony TV) that are on your wifi network. This feature allows you to play photos and videos from the phone on a bigger screen. To my knowledge it doesn't work over 3G, so should only use data on your Wifi connection.

The data it is using is likely to be the app 'scanning' for other DLNA devices on your network.

I have removed both apps on my Arc and it doesn't seem to have affected anything else. I found it was using a lot of battery even when it wasn't being used.

Hope that helps :)
