[Motorola Droid RAZR] problematic:
So I'm going to come across as a jerk for asking these things instead of spending tons of time researching, but I'm thinking of trying to get this to work for the Droid 4. I have no idea how the nettop functionality works, and I'm not even on a stock ROM with nettop on it. Is it possible to copy the needed apps over to a custom ROM in order to run this? If I have to I will go back to stock to test things out, but I was wondering if this would even be a worthwhile endeavor.

I used to do some playing around with a chroot environment on my old Droid 2, and I was thinking it would be cool to be able to access the same environment on the phone when I want to, not just when I'm hooked up to HDMI. Is that possible?

I have everything downloaded and put where its supposed to be (i think) and unzipped so on but every time I try to enter in: adb push domain_policy.conf /tmp/ all I get is device not found error! What am I doing wrong!? Yes I know the screenshot says /temp/ but I got the same results with /tmp/

I found this ( This is the link ->>ijailbreak(DOT, REMOVE ME) com/cydia/recognizeme-facial-recognition-addition-to-the-lockscreen) app and couldn't find anything like it for android. I was wondering if it was possible to convert it to an android apk?

Thanks,

Well, something interesting just happened with my CM7. I've beed running it for 4 days and it has been a completely different device (for the good). But 30min ago everything started force closing (3G Watchdog, Gmail, G+). I tried to reboot but then completely stuck. It couldn't move past the LG screen (just turned off). It wouldn't even boot into CWM. Then I realized if i kept the power button pressed, I can work my way through CWM. As soon as I released it, it will turn off. So I managed to wipe cache and dalvik from there and all of the sudden everything is back to normal.

At first I thought I lost EXT4 journaling, but just checked and it's still there. Did anyone face something similar? This was completely weird and freaky. I'm glad everything is OK.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
never had such a problem or heard of it before. i know that when i flash a new build without wiping cache and dalvik my phone is very unstable. also a complete wipe and advanced restore data does wonders.
[LG Optimus 2x] apolloFER:
I wiped/factory restored before flashing CM (4 days ago). I noticed someone mentioned something similar (force closes and such) in the CM nightlies thread. I managed to check what was the reason of force closes (before I couldn't even boot) and every time it was because of SQLite error. Seems like apps weren't able to access their database files (which are in /data I suppose).

It really looks like a standard boot loop which happens sometimes after a installing a new build, but this was just out of the blue. Will see how it behaves in the next few days.

jailbreak

u will have jailbreak iPhone to tether it ... i had ipohone for 4 months on verizon , had android before that and have android now...sold my iPhone and i pad at the sometime...hope that helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psixichka:
Tethering meaning through the USB cord no free wireless hotspot feature like on my evo?

I did have the ipad2 for 30 Days although smooth but missed my android customization & hated that all normal apps were paid & stupid iTunes...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
not too sure

i am not too sure, but u can do wireless tether, i did it only once,but it will drop battery of iPhone faster then 10 android phones battery...i phone is good only till you use it the way Steve Jobs wanted it...and Mr.Control Freak made sure to design iPhone such a way that once you revolt against it, you will pay in the form of battery life or system performance...:-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
iPhone is nice, if you're into "that" sort of thing ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
I have both the E4GT and the iPhone 4 as daily drivers. Do yourself a favor and get the E4GT. The OS is better, the ROMs are better, and the hardware is better.

Unless all your preppy friends are forcing you into an iPhone there is no reasonable excuse for getting one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psixichka:
hhhmmm considering my hotspot is on at home every night( no I net at home) this might be a dealbreaker possibly since there's no replaceble battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
One thing for tethering

I will warn you about one thing regarding tethering on 4g on ET4G, try different locations on your home where you phone connects to 4G and as soon as it does, make it and build a cement concerts stand will iron protectors etc and then put ur phone there and start tethering...because if you move your phone by one millimeter it will lose 4g connectivity...I think ET4G is cancerian so its very sensitive...:-) Just kidding but with iPhone you will not be able to tether on 4g speed only 3g speed and you know sprint 3g speed...I would rather pay MacDonalds to establish next to my house so I can get high speed internet...:-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2fastkuztoms:
What is an iphone??

You answer your own question when you said you love customization, forget about iOS. I had an iphone, ipod touch and a ipad, sold iphone and ipad. i4s its for me a dummy phone with smooth interface. It gets boring after a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psixichka:
I have e4gt isitting here unactivated and trying to make a decision ans since I have absolutely no knowledge/experience with an iPhone decided to ask! But I looove my rooted evo4g too bad its broken & needs to be replaced...

I actually use miui rom so no 4g:eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I have been a big fan of Android since my first phone...The Samsung Moment...perhaps in spite of it.

Originally I wanted an iPhone but Sprint didn't offer and and I wasn't about to get AT&t...then Verizon offered it an I wasn't about to leave Sprint...now Sprint offers it and there is no way I'm leaving Android.

I never touched an iDevice until a few days before the iPhone4S came out. I got to play with one at the local Radioshack. Everyone there was all "OMG, you can play with the newest iPhone"...so I figured, what the hell...I'll play with it.

...now, I'm a technophile...I love technology and have a very open mind. I'm not an Android fanboy and I'm certainly no Mac hater....I wouldn't pay for a Mac, but, every PC I own also dual-boots to a (perfectly 100% functioning) Hackintosh installation. At first I did it just for kicks and the challenge of getting everything working...then I actually became very very impressed by Apple's aesthetic. Less is more. It was very hard to use until I turned off my PC/Windows trained brain that would just think too much about how to do something...things flowed naturally. So, as long as I don't need any of my Windows based content-creation tools (heavy duty pro audio and video apps...no, I don't like the Mac alternatives, I have 15 years of practice with my audio app of choice and 10 or so with my video) I will be doing my browsing and basic computer use on the Mac partition.

So...I pick up this iPhone, I swipe around...then I start wondering where everything is? It's like I'm stuck in my app drawer. The one button, while very obvious in function at every moment, seems silly. Not to mention the tiny screen. Retina or not, fnck that.

Now, from an fan of Apple's minimalist functionalist point of view it's all there, it's all obvious and it's all effortless. However, from an Android users point of view I felt trapped...I had traversed the entire OS in 30-45 seconds. On one hand that is extremely elegant and purpose built...on the other hand, umm, boring.

To be fair I could see an iOS user picking up an Android device and being overwhelmed at all of the 'needlessly complicated' features and overabundance of options.

Also, I hear the iPhone battery life is the standard to beat--though I also hear the 4S bombs in this area because of a bug.

YMMV, etc etc etc

Besides, it seems like a foregone conclusion given your iPad experience...

love it!! That should be a bumper sticker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
I know I will get flamed like crazy for this but I actually like my Iphone 4s more than my Epic Touch. Battery life is so much better on the Iphone and the retina display is actually pretty damn good. Once a jailbreak is out you'll be able to tether. I've been an Android user since the OG Evo came out and this is my first Iphone. Even after flashing Roms and undervolting my Epic battery life was no where near as good. There is also NEVER any lag. I used to experience lag all the time wtih google voice on my Epic. And no random force closes. Iphone just works straight out of the box. A jailbreak will also allow some customization but not as much as Android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2fastkuztoms:
No flamming here, iOS works great but gets boring after a while. You're impressed because is your first iphone, wait a few week and gets boring. I sold my IPAD to buy a Android Tablet and with the fail release of the ASUS PRIME, I started thinking to buy and IPAD 2 for christmas, but as soon a I pick and use one, got bored in few minutes and decided not to buy it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psixichka:
no flaming asking for honest opinions to aid an educated, unbiased decision while it's still possible eventhough it's an E4GT forum lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Your lack of lag is interesting since that hasn't been my experience but then again I only have an iPhone 4 and the lag wasn't horrible but definately noticable. Your lag with GV is also interesting I had it horribly on my Eris (since it is over 2 years old now) but haven't noticed it on my E4GT. I've generally found the E4GT smoother with a better looking screen.

I do agree the iPhone battery life is pretty impressive when it isn't bugged and rapidly draining constantly. I've had it drain to dead in less than 4 hours with the screen off, and there is no way to tell what is causing it, the only solution was a factory reset.

It is also no more impressive than my E4GT with equivalent services enabled (that's the big thing people miss, they compare battery life of a 4g device to a 3g device. Turn off the 4g and then compare battery life)

The only place I give the iPhone any significant advantage is in the quality of the Apps available for it. They in general seem to be more polished.

This right now is what I am missing the most from my Nexus 1, I was on CM and having them fix what the community wanted was a big deal.

Even if we didn't get CM, having a Nexus device means Google pushes out it's updates sooner(or at least that's been the case).

Android for me

My wife and I were long time iPhone users till we switched to Evo's about a year ago. This month, I decided to move the E4GT. I love it! My wife decided to go to an iPhone on Sprint.

A week later, she was so jelous of my phone, and bored with iOS, she wanted to come back to Android. She's very happy back on Android, and all the things you can do:

IMHO Pros for Apple (i'm sure there are more, I'm really trying to be honest here)

* battery life (it's cause the screen is so small!)

* smooth experience, that does work well

* updates might come to you, but you might not get all features (siri)

Cons:

* gets boring very quickly if you are used to flashing and customizing. Just not many options to customize available with Apple.

* iTunes. Damn I hate using iTunes for everything.

* password for everything you get in the app store....lame!

* wife missed the live backgrounds

* wife missed the widgets.

* no 4G on Sprint (maybe not a big deal)

* small screen

* no custom keyboards (we *love* swiftkey on Android)

We are very happy with Android, and really looking forward to ICS. Again, I was a long time iPhone user...I just evolved.

You know...one thing I think that iPhone has is a better lockscreen. They stole the notification bar from Android, but they have more info on the lockscreen. I can't figure out why Android won't put more information on the lockscreen. Info like text messanging, who called me, email. I used a hacked app on the iPhone that was nice, the Lockinfo program. http://www.lockinfo.net/ It was really nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
I have the same exact services enabled on both phones actually. Never used 4g in my area because its not available here. I actually find myself using the Iphone more (screen on time) than I ever did with the Epic Touch and I still have around 50% battery left at the end of the day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Robbzilla:
I feel you brother.

Maybe we should start a support group... I never even sold the silly thing. It's still laying around the house. I sometimes use is to control my Revue... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lifyre:
Strange. In either case I haven't had reason to complain about my E4GT or my iPhone (when it's not being stupid for me, and that goes for BOTH phones...)

So once again im the victim of identity theft. My bank account is currently -$600. Someone bought a ****load of makeup online. And last week my gmail account was hacked, sending out a bunch of emails about prescriptions. Sorry if anyone on here got them. This isnt the first time either of those have happened either. I dont go to porn sites and I dont download shady apps. I dont know what the **** to do anymore. This close to xmas, this is some bull****.

So my questions are ... first, what banks offer the best protection against identity theft, and how quickly to they resolve these situation? Right now my bank, chase, has told me there is nothing they can do while the transaction is still pending. So im assed out until then. Secondly, are there any android apps that can alert me to an app that has the potential to steal sensitive info?

Sorry for rambling, any advice or suggestions would be awesome. Thanks

Online Protection

Best Advice???

if you are going to shop online protect yourself always use a prepaid Visa or MasterCard never attach to your personal accounts. These cards are refillable and they can't get more than whats on the card. So find what you want then put that amount + $5 bucks extra on the card. now as for your home PC do not leave personal account information on your computer. do not use auto complete in your browser. Always Protect Yourself.

Good Luck! :cool:

I've been looking for info on this and just talked to AT&T. They are certain this device doesn't have a notification LED on it. When I first got it I thought it was DOA, as when I went to power it on I got no LED or screen for nearly 10 seconds.

Could they really have omitted the notification LED on a smartphone like this!?

*sigh* Also, hello to all!!! First post, but I've been lurking ever since the end of November after I got this device and watched the rooting threads like a hawk ;) :cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
There is no dedicated LED (e.g. red flashing LED, etc) on the Captivate. Best we have is some modifications that cause the lights behind the 4 capacitive buttons on the bottom of the phone to light up when a message/email/event occurs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmokid2005:
*sigh* Go figure. I guess I'll have to look into that then at some point. It just boggles my mind that such a phone doesn't have a notification LED...the last phone I had with that issue was from 2007...and was an old school "feature phone"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
It's actually fairly useful - the only real drawback is that it's a little on the dim side. I'm finding it works best for me early in the mornings when it's still dark enough to see the lights easily.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmokid2005:
Thanks. Would you be so kind as to provide a link?

I really do miss the notification LED. Coming from my N900, that's one thing that was always VERY good at.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
You could also try NoLED in the market, but it wastes power pretty bad. It's about the only alternative to a BLN kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You have to flash a custom kernel that has bln enabled, then just go to the market and grab the bln control app. There is a free and a paid version.

Paid version offers a blinking option which if nice.

Can't really link you cause dunno what firmware you're using.

All custom froyo kernels have it. And all I9000 ported gingerbread kernels have it. Native leaked gingerbread builds do not as there is no source to build from.

Using Antutu Tester, I tested the multi-touch, using the experimental kernel. I placed four fingers on the screen, one at a time and they all registered. I then slightly moved all my fingers across the screen, and then the others disappear. Can anyone confirm this? Also got some weird activity with the trackpad wake. When pressed sometimes only the capacitive keys light up, and not the screen. I have to use the power button to power the screen on.

EDIT: Could this be overclocking related?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tun4f1sh:
The screen not coming sounds like it could be OC related.

Question, did you change any of the OC settings manually? If not, I'd recommend opening the OC Beater application and set your screen-on profile to something like 245min-998400max, and screen-off profile to 245min-384max. Let me know if that fixes the problem with the screen not coming on. (If so, I'll add something to the ROMs OP about setting the OC parameters manually if using the experimental kernel)

Ran the multi-touch test using the stock kernel, all 4 fingers registered and moved properly when I moved my fingers.

Makes sense why it's the experimental kernel, right? :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] matthewjett:
Yeah it makes sense, more fun to play with!

I did actually manually set the oc to the settings you suggested and now I cannot recreate the tp wake issue.

I also had an issue using the "use_4g_icon" customization when flashing. Definitely have it in the root of the glite direc, still no change in the icon. I even did a full wipe and started fresh, still a no go.

Then I tried just changing the icon myself using ROM Toolbox, and boy did it hate that. Status bar fc after a full reboot, had to restore the back up I made. I assume this is because of the framework changes for the apm?

I have been consistently getting speeds lower than 80kbps down and 600up for over a month now. They haven't done anything no mater how much I call. They finally put in a tower ticket so it would be fixed in 72 hrs and I was to be notified that never happened. I'm terminating my service I can't justify paying for such low speeds. An the best part is its just the one tower right near my home the one up the road works fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
I just did the math, downloading that slow 24 hours a day for 30 days you only use 18GB +/- so I'm not sure I understand the people that say they'd cancel if sprint removed unlimited plans. You wouldn't hit the cap at current speeds. Now if you are one of the people that actually get market average speeds I could understand that logic, but the rest of us would much rather have high speed...

I want to switch to Verizon, I just can't afford double cost for half the minutes, and data. I'm unlimited everything with sprint. I would trade it for a tiered plan that had Verizon service...just not at double the cost. Verizon has great service but for how cheap it is to run these networks they are priced too high.
