[Atrix 4G General] ismas:
Hi folks.

I'm trying to install the full debian disk for WebTop on my locked, (obviously) stock GB 2.3.4 rooted Orange UK Atrix. Instructions say rooted is enough, but to install easy-*.zip on Rom Manager you need to boot on recovery, and CWM recovery won't boot on locked (boot error 2).

Is there any chance to install the zip without CWM? By hand? Where? I'm not afraid to tinker, only don't want to unlock (yet).

Tryed to ask on development thread but forum rules prevented it.

Thank you in advance.
[Atrix 4G General] Aienka1987:
i think you can copy all files per Root Explorer in your System. But you need Root for it.

And the Boot Failure is when ou havent unlocked your Bootloader and havent install the CWM-Recovery...
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
you need root and unlocked bootloader
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTF?:
every phone I have had in the past has had some type of secret service code that you can enter and access hidden menus, usually of an advanced technical nature, such as a technician would use.

does the G2/Desire-Z have such a code and if so, what is the code and how is it implemented, and is it applicable if you are using a modified but semi-stock ROM such as G-lite?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karakoram2:
I believe if you have root, s-off, and unlock that is about it. I like the sound of a secret code, though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
I think Sense includes dialer commands to get into the technician diagnostic stuff. I don't know the codes since I never use them but I think they're usually in the form of ##XXX#. You'd have to look up the codes somewhere...

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Shofar1:
On my phone I get either automatic updates or a notice to update.

I've had 3 in the last day on my phone but no way I can find to do the updating on my TPT.

How do you update the aps?

Thanks,

Shofar
[Thinkpad Tablet General] obscure.detour:
Mine updates pretty much the same as my Nexus One. Market notifies when update is available and I click update and it downloads and installs, asking permission usually if I want to update. If it doesn't find updates, try opening Android Market and selecting "My Apps".

It should show updates for the apps that have one.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

PS. If this doesn't work, you could always try going into Settings > Applications > Manage > All > Market > Clear data.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] deadday:
The statusbar, bottom right, will have the Android or Amazon Market icon when it finds updates. If you set the programs to auto-update then it will just say x many updated, and you can click for details. If the apps aren't set to auto-update, the icon will open a list of available updates for you to approve.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] robinsmy1:
Sometimes the checkin does not work correctly.

The easiest way is to open market and select my apps from top bar.

Any available updates will show and you can click to update from there.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] hidd3n_bit:
Fail to install

I have seen a case where apps sometimes fail to install the first time, and you need to go to my apps in the market and click install again. Perhaps this is what op is referring to. Haven't seen this since the update, it may have been fixed.

I flashed the custom rom deeping shinning 2.0. The rom is perfect except for internet sharing. i Activate it and i try and connect it to my laptop, my laptop has difficulties to secure the connection. Says its limited. Is there something im missing?

And apparently you can connect it via USB but i cant see the option. All i get is wifi.
[7 Mozart General] kristoff_sz:
You should post that question under the Deepshining ROM topic. Or even search there to find an answer.
[7 Mozart General] randomiser:
Will do then. I did do research as i did recall people having issues but i couldn't find those posts this time around.

Is there any way I could get this in a sense rom?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] Akasa Fox:
I'd really like to know as well, but I'm guessing that due to the limitations of Sense this cannot be achieved.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
1. Get missing HTC hub ?

2. Get missing HTC apps ?

3. Turn off pink (for some like me) soft key lights?

4. Use beats audio with more than music app?

I appreciate, obviously, any answers. I really don't want to return another RZD and I'd hate to leave HTC but these things have me bummed enough to downgrade to a Droid 4 or even a SD slot-less Galaxy Nexus.

Sent from, not my (1st) dead pixeled RZD, but yes my pink buttoned RZD.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Great question and I hope so but my lights are red LOL.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
I'd take red, but off would be even nicer. My first had nice red buttons but a dead pixel, that no joke took VZW rep an hour to find. Lol.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Probably. You can have them stay off, most likely.

4. Nope. But you can use an equalizer app to mimic a similar curve if you so choose.
[HTC Rezound] pantrybear:
Red/pink lights

(first post)

I noticed last night that, when watching a video through Doubletwist in a dark room, the red button lights turned off during the video and then came back on when it was done.

So, it seems that there is a way to do this in the software and therefore it should be possible to control once rooted. Root or not, I hope other apps like Netflix will add this to there program.
[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
Just enable this feature but it work only if there is some app still run such as music play while screen lock or notification led flash while screen lock that we can preess volume rocker to turn screen on.

Can we make volume rocker to act as the power button do ?

[General Questions and Answers] potchakri:
Hi All,

I have successfully rooted my HTC Incredible S and then, I have installed a custom ROM "Galnet MIUI-Icecream Sandwich ROM-Build:2.11.26" using the ROM Manager App available in the Android Market.

Everything went on well... the back up, clearing the cache etc. are all completed successfully and my mobile rebooted. There was a new screen with a flash image showing MI (in orange letters) with xiaomi.com just below it. I waited for almost 30 minutes but the screen is just showing the same flash image playing some nice notification sound.

Now Should I be worried? Is it a part of the process or is my mobile Bricked ?

Please help...
[General Questions and Answers] DistrictDigital:
Have you tried flashing a new ROM in the custom recovery or restoring your back-up? Doesn't sound bricked to me...
[General Questions and Answers] potchakri:
I have recovered it from the backup... it's not bricked :)

But I am wanting to install some latest and stable custom ROM compatible with HTC Incredile S.

Any suggestions please....
[General Questions and Answers] DistrictDigital:
You must ALWAYS check the md5 sum of all of your ROM's. This could have been a very bad thing for your phone and your wallet. Any ROM in your phone's specific Android Development section is almost guaranteed to work. Just re-download your MIUI ROM and enjoy.
[General Questions and Answers] potchakri:
I understood the later part but regarding the first part in which you said 'You must ALWAYS check the md5 sum of all of your ROM's".....can you please help me understand that.
[General Questions and Answers] skuffle:
An MD5 is a long number that will usually be shown next to your ROM download. This number is unique to that particular file.

If something happens during your download that corrupts the ROM file (breaks it), then the MD5 number will be different when you check it. This warns you the file you have got on your computer is different to the original.

There's a good description of how to check and use MD5 on the OpenOffice website - try Googling the words: openoffice md5.

An MD5 is called a 'checksum', there are other ways of working out checksums that you also might see, like CRC or SHA-256. All have benefits and downsides.

In short, checking the MD5 makes sure you aren't flashing a 'bad' copy of the file, which might break your phone.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks a lotttt.. it was wonderful knowledge sharing :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Why do sites like Engadget, Slashgear, GSMarena and many others produce such positive reviews of the Note where they don't find the huge amount of faults users are finding here? With the huge amount of faults discovered here you would think it impossible for anyone to miss them and produce a positive review. Could it be that all the reviewers were very lucky like me and all received phones without the faults?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Could be a lot of reasons but what I can think about is they could have received a cherry picked unit, could be a pre-mass production unit with really high quality control, could be "forced" to publish favorable reviews so that companies keep sending them review units or just plain lucky.

They seldom publish unit flaws to keep their site favorable to manufacturers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bbdj69:
Relatively speaking the phone is brilliant. Have you used the myriad of garbage phones out there lately?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
Takes time to find these faults. Reviews are usually done afer using the phone for several days, maybe a week. They usually keep the phones stock, people here on XDA push the phones to their limit - that reveals all faults.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Huge number of faults? Care to elaborate?

Thanks,

Dave
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
What "huge amount of faults"? From what I see here, most everyone is very happy with the device. Like anything, once you've had something for a while you can find something to nit-pick about, but I definitely don't perceive the consensus here to be that it has a relatively large amount of problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eybee1970:
+1 on that

Note is brilliant device - even SGS2 I also use is crappy **** compared to it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lordrdx666:
agreed.... +1000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I personally have not discovered any faults, but often the majority of threads here are about faulty phones.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
You took the words out of my mouth...

This phone is awesome. It's so stellar, I have two people in my office who are itching to buy one after seeing mine...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
correct there. you dont see problems unless youve had more exposure to the device.

plus, which company would not be silly enough to cherry pick devices before submitting for reviews. think about it. theyre trying to promote their device well because they know that people trust certain reviewers. so it would be silly of them if they didnt cherry pick devices to submit for review. very few of the professional reviewers actually purchase the device to review.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bigmille:
This is a user forum, more people come here for help than to prise their phone, did you expect anything different?

I've not seen any major hardware problems or long posts of people retuning their phones. So can you enlighten us what huge amount of faults the Note has?

Also most review sites only test phones for a short time unlike us owners, plus they mainly test the stock apps came with the phone and not a wide range of apps the forum members downloaded on their phones. Put those two factors together, of course we will find more issues than they do.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indie13:
Having owned about 35 mobile phones, i can say they all have faults.

But I've not had any issues with my Note and i'm very very pleased with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
I still don't see many (much less a majority) of threads about "faulty phones". But it sounds like the issue here is not so much the phone, but rather your inexperience with the nature of user forums.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
I dont see any major faults on the unit, mine has some minor flaws on the screen, the lower 1/4 renders greys with a greenish tint.. a small portion of the right side and top shows a pinkish glow in certain shades of grey (very visible on the stock keyboard and market app) not a huge issue for me to return the device and I just hope it wont get worse.

I had a very bad experience with the Galaxy S2 in terms of the screen. I also understand that not everyone is affected by the screen issue, its a panel lottery out there.

I understand that no phone is perfect ( or screen for that matter ) but my experience with the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S1 screens was extremely above expectation, the S2 didnt remotely reach the expectation the note is meeting the expectation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cadavar:
As much as I love my GN, I can't say it's not without it's faults. The camera has a pink spot in the center, and focusing is a issue at times. The audio chipset is severely lacking, and is inferior compared to the SGS. Even though it has a faster dual core processor, lag is apparent more often than not.

While these issues haven't convinced me that I should return the unit, I think they can be addressed in the next version (hopefully in a year).

Early adopters usually find the goofs...even the vaunted iJunk has had release flaws.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
I haven't noticed any bugs or faults on my Note, so to come to the conclusion that the Note is a faulty device is utter bull****. Of course some devices will have software and hardware defects, but that happens to everything like cars, computers, and even humans. No one and nothing is perfect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
But that should not mean we should accept obvious defects in our products right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
WHAT defects? I don't have any defects, but if your device has any defects then go to the store where you bought it and do something about it. And don't just assume that since your device has defects that EVERY device has it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eitama:
Do you use touchwiz? if not, what else?

What rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
There where people who didn't noticed the protector plastic on the home button or camera lens for 2-3 Weeks after buying the phone so qq about good reviews, software problems can be solved easy. Aka software problems every note has this problem but only 5-10% have noticed and maybe they will never find it out. S Pen on photo editor CAN NOT draw on the edge, on the same side as you have configured your pen for the hand you use. On S Memo there isn't a problem only on pen on photo editor on plain mode can you reproduce it. Samsung knows about it but as not many have found it is a problem which can wait for a fix!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
Such is the nature of forums such as these! Many people seek out places like XDA when they have an issue/fault, because they've googled the condition and it has pointed them here. Those that don't have problems don't tend to post that their device is "perfect", so to the casual observer the phone in question must be riddled with faults.

Pick any forum on XDA that has a reasonable amount of traffic and you'll find lots of posts concerning faulty phones. Similarly, go to any iPhone site of a similar nature, and you'll find lots of people posting with their issues.

In my experience from the forums that I do or have followed, the "level" of these postings in the Note forums is actually probably slightly below the average - i.e. the Note is generally more reliable and has a better build quality than most other devices.

Dave

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Not a big deal at all, but interesting point.

This is a Wacom stylus - it draws 1 mm to the right or left of the stylus depending on the 'handedness' setting. One side effect is that you can't draw on the very edge of one side as a result.

This can be verified using the *#0*# screen test.

I was going to post 'this isn't a software flaw' but it does make sense that they should reduce/eliminate the offset as you hit the left side of the screen.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

Good point - for a first gen device (S pen, new screen, new GPS, etc) and the 1st ROM, the Note is actually quite good. I suppose using the S II as a base helped a lot.

Thanks in advance

Am I right or???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] epicfailguy2:
Have had the note since 3 weeks now.

The only fault I find is that... it is too big and too new. And I LUST for ICS, because everytime I got a new phone I had both hardware and software updated, not this time ! Also ICS should fix all the minor hiccups : more tablet like UI/ blazing fast stock browser / better camera apps / and maybe a Spen support update from samsung at the same time.

Too big because now ALL PHONES, even the S2 look so small to me, and ALL screens except the iphone 4 retina looks bad in density.

Too new because I can't find sexy aluminium cases and aluminium battery covers like it's available for the S2 all over ebay, only sad sad TPU cases. :confused:

Takes time I guess to produce them ! Took 6 months for the S2 to see the first metal bumpers.

Thats what I'm talking about ! http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-METAL-A...sesPouches&hash=item2eb8e627f4#ht_4478wt_6358

The Note is to others phone what a beauty is to average women ! Once you got used to it, your standards are screwed.
