[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aureum:
Hi,

Is there any chance to turn off the transformer screen while i'm connected to Plasma by HDMI? I wanna watch a movie but the screen is on and its consume battery...

When i use YT build App the video is only on Plasma TV but other video apps like Mobo Player are on the tbalet screen and TV screen.. Any optiona solution for these?

Best Regards!

Thomas
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris157:
Depending on the app, certain video players will turn off the screen automatically when playing thought HDMI similar to dimming the status bar. I believe MOBO does this but Netflix does not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AJordanWise:
Hey everyone,

My wife and I both have the ET4G. Mine has been rooted since day 1 and has been relatively problem free. My wife's phone, on the other hand, has had a ton of issues: Dropped calls, calling the wrong person after dialing the right number, not receiving texts for several days, etc... Are these things that may be fixed by rooting her phone? I am well versed once the phone is rooted but have no clue if we should take her phone back to Sprint for a replacement that works better before I root it or if these are all things that may be fixed after I root it and update everything?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
My wife an I also have the same phone and used them for about 2 weeks before I rooted them. However, I did not really experience any problems on either unit. I am still problem free after flashing EK02 with root. Seems suspicious to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AJordanWise:
Yeah. That's why I am wondering if I should see if they might give her a replacement phone before I root. I don't know what to do...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] msroest:
I've searched google and the forum but I can't find an answer. Is it possible to add another tab to the All apps?

Right now I have all Apps, Frequent, and downloaded but I'd like to add new ones I just can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Anyone managed to get this working?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ceyo14:
I think you need perm root... And a theme...

I think myns ROM for EVO 3d has a custom one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] msroest:
Seems so weird that sense wouldn't just support it. It has the ability to remove tabs and reorder and there's plenty of space for more tabs.

If i flash a new folder will it erase my pictures folder? ive been cm7 only and plan on playing with a different rom but i rememeber when i first flashed my phone i think my pictures folder got wiped , will that happen if i flash another rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1ForFun:
Your pictures are usually stored on your sdcard. So changing the rom would not mess with your sdcard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:

To the Mods,

I didn't see any sales sections or rules regarding sales when I did my internal search. I hope I am complying with all rules and if anything needs to change, let me know :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently got a Sky Rocket and I'm going to be wiping my Captivate pretty soon. I can put OTA 2.2 on there or I can put 2.3.5 internal samsung firmware.

Asking price will be $350 OBO. Condition of phone is very good with minor scratches. I've been using a screen protector the entire time so that is good. This will include the wall charger but not the cable (I only have 1 micro USB cable left and it's from my Touchpad).

I will note that the battery life is crummy. I charge it overnight and by mid day I have to charge it again. Maybe we can work on the price!
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
At best, you have $175, maybe, phone. A new, in the sealed box unit goes for about $250-$300
[Captivate General] bigblue95z:
You can pick up a brand new one for way less than $350 bud.

Can someone point me to a fullproof easy to follow guide to unroot a sensation? I have the stock rom, never changed it besides the new recovery thing. Also, will I lose anything like pics, txts, contacts, or apps?
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Firstly, yes you will lose everything.

To get your phone back to stock you will need to flash the appropriate RUU from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

Once you have done that you need to follow the Revolutionary guide to get your device back to S-On. This guide can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 :D
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you back all those things up onto your sd card,there is no reason why you would lose them.

:)
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
:rolleyes: Obviously! But in terms of losing stuff off the phone - everything will go once the RUU is flashed.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Sorry,I wasn't trying to be clever,but sometimes you have to "State-the-bleedin'-obvious",so that you are sure that people understand.

:p
[HTC Sensation] MANTI5:
Thank you. I have Titanium Backup so I use that to back everything up and once I get it back to stock I have to redownload TB to restore? Also, what are the things I need to backup besides the obvious apps that will be deleted? There's a TON of things listed in TB that can be backed up. I just really want contacts, pics, and apps and don't want to miss something because it was named oddly.
[HTC Sensation] vis-tec:
Cant use TB when unrooted.

Pictures - already on the SD card.

Contacts - Export to SD card if not on your google account.

Texts - SMS backup and restore from the market.

edit: Dont think you can back up apps without root? Not sure if 'backup everything' works without root, only used TB
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you intend to unroot,then you should consider backing up your stuff with an app or program that does NOT require root.

Titanium Backup requires root..

[HTC Sensation] MANTI5:
Ok, thanks for all the help.

[Vibrant General] Woody:
DiskUsage will show you in graphical form a breakdown of your internal and external disk as well as your partitions like /system, /data, /dbdata, /sys,...pretty much any storage you have plus you can long-press the entry and it takes you right to that app's settings to say maybe clear cache or data. Also has non-root functions (but what fun is that).

ShootMe will take screen shots and save them to your sdcard. Handy for showing off, helping someone else with info (like showing app permissions or something along those lines) or showing what is wrong/happening so it can be properly diagnosed.

CatLog is an ADB logcat that works directly on your phone without plugging into PC. Handy for non-devs to get a better look inside sdk so that the devs can know what is really going on, cause we don't always explain ourselves the best.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
Screenies of how ShootMe and DiskUsage works and looks.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Thanks, will be adding all three to the list. Can't believe I forgot "ShootMe", I guess since MIUI has its own built in screen shot taker (options button + bottom volume) I had put it to the back of my mind.

Edit: By the way, I like your description of LogCat. I will be using that as it's overveiw, quoted, in the above list.
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
CacheCleaner NG is a must!
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Thanks, will be adding "CacheCleaner NG" to the list.

Speaktoit Assistant

I wanted to share this really cool app I found on the market the other day. Root isn't necessary for it which is why I'm posting it here and not above in the guide/list, it's called "Speaktoit Assistant" and it's the Android Equivalent of Siri but better! Check it out, it is completely free!!!

Another pretty cool virtual assistant is called "Vlingo Virtual Assistant", it is also free but in my opinion it isn't as in depth and neat as Speaktoit. Check out the video below to get an idea of what Speaktoit is all about...

Siri (iPhone 4s) vs Speaktoit for Android:

[YOUTUBE]yPdZgt2O2ks[/YOUTUBE]

Credits- I did not make this video. Credit goes to robifis for the video.

Note- This video is slightly outdated, Speaktoit as been updated a few times since the time the video was posted. This is what has been updated...

1. Some listening issues are fixed

2. Improved geolocation

3. Smoother conversation history swiping

4. A few other minor (but also important) bugs are fixed

[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Awesome apps. Thanks
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Very interesting app. However this list is really meant for free apps only... But you know what, I think I'll be changing that.

Update: Guide now includes both free and

paid

root apps!
[Vibrant General] shovelhead83:
Speak to it is aweesome. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] RootzFan:
Apologies, glazed right over that. Glad to see you put Root Explorer up automagically. That app is amazing.

Now that the list is expanded (sorry), you may want to add Titanium Backup paid and note that the scripts run automatically (no pressing install/done, etc) and runs a LOT faster... other features too, but that is the main attraction.

Rom Manager paid is nice too, but perhaps not needed for people on xda.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
No need to apologize. Things happen and it's cool. The list needed to be more open anyhow.

Also, I will be updating the list to include a description of Titanium Backup pro and other pro, plus, or full app versions.
[Vibrant General] crayzeeteri:
What do you think of ROM Toolbox? (by JRummy16) I haven't used it yet, just found it, but seems it would enable me to use a lot of this stuff from a single app! Appreciate your guides and advice, best I've seen here!!

Root Explorer works better than Root Browser in Rome Toolbox.

Besides, I always get reboot when I try to UV in Rom Toolbox.

ES File Explorer
[Vibrant General] kaiser_bun:
QFT. Love that as a freebie File explorer. Let's you mount the file system (if rooted) for edits to those prop and config files if you're so inclined with all that.

N00B - Thanks for the link to Shoot Me. I've been switching back and forth between ICS and Froyo builds, and have the vol down + power screenshot action in ICS really spoiled me to quick and easy screen caps. Glad to see something is out there to fit the bill :)
[Vibrant General] ioancr:
System Tuner - I use it for everything, from back-up and restoring apps even cross ROMs (=TB), uninstalling sys apps, moving to and from system, or use it like Cpu Spy, for OC or UV. It has also an integrated terminal emulator and a script manager. You can also tweak your memory and sd card. It shows you all kind of info and has many more. Unbelievable, but it works.

Pay attention to the pop-up about installing drivers. The flash WILL fail the first time because your partitioning is wrong. Select the flash bootloaders option after that and flash again.

made a jig with the 100k resistors from radio shack. now it isnt working. when it did work, i tried odin with three different samsung cables(stock, gs2, focus), on two different computers, odin got stuck at the same spot everytime. i uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers at least 3 times. I remember the first time i rooted it and put cyanogenmod on it it was using the galaxys drivers for some reason.

i'll try the last few suggestions, but if its a no-go, i would seriously just mail this off to someone with some cash who can fix it, things driving me nutz.

my phone is soft bricked

I was trying different roms and when i moved to cm7 i found that my download mode is not working through adb and key combination plus usb plug in methods. so in recovery mode i tried to install some other rom and after 2-3 tries to install the rom i got in position that when i reboot my cappy, it shows att logo screen and then it stucks there. when it is off and put usb cable in it, it show circles (the same for charging) but not the battery signal.

i made a usb jig and it does not seem to work. i hv checked with multimeter that when i connect the jib it provides 296k ohm on the pins 4-5. (i hv opened the device and checked the jig resistance while connected). i am considering the 4-5 pins are the closest to microphone jack

adams detect mode does not detect device even in ubuntu.

windows (7 64bit )does not detect it to be connected.

As i have opened the device for un-brickable mod but it seems to be impossible for me to do it myself. i live in bahrain (gulf). it is very small place to find some good soldering skill guy. it will be very costly and time consuming it to send it to someone in usa to do mod for me.

please help me regarding this.
