Hey, if I root the kindle fire in canada, will I be able to download apps and stuff? Also, if I only install the Android Marketplace without rooting, will I be able to download apps?
[Kindle Fire General] gagab1:
Yes but you have no support of amazon... Refer to your ebay seller...

Im from canada
[Kindle Fire General] pupsin:
Thanks so much. It seems the only thing I'll be missing out on is Amazon Prime which I wouldn't pay to use anyways.

How did you do it in Canada?

I tried to root My kindle fire in Canada using the latest root guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410223

But It tells me to download. the Root Explorer to continue all the process but! here comes my problem, When I try to download it. I get the message that I dont have a US credit card with a Us billing address. However I do have one but I still get the same message anyhow. Any advice of how to fix this problem or any other way of rooting?

My versions is 6.2.1

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
google for a site with the root explorer apk - browse to it with the kf - install

you have to allow installation from other sources in settings
[Kindle Fire General] maximusgodlike:
ok I will try this and see what happens. Will post back with results.
[Kindle Fire General] maximusgodlike:
Finally DONE!

Thanks for the advice after downloading directly from the KindleFire I was able to install the File explorer.apk and then continue the video guide. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] marine417:
hey guys,

i just installed the bionix reloaded rom and now i have no data connection. i have at&t and i got this phone hoping the tmo merger would go through but it hasn't. so i was dealing with horrible 2g connection with the stock tmo rom. i then flashed the new rom and now i have no data connection...

is there a rom that is friendly to at&t? or did i install it incorrectly?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Change it to AT&T APN.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] marine417:
i did change it when i flashed, and no data connection but ironically txt and calls came through perfectly...

however, i flashed it again to an miui rom which didn't work out so well (reboot loop), then i flashed it to weapon and after like half an hour, finally got my data connection

later on, i reflashed my first rom and got a data connection immediately after i added at&t's apn

bad flash maybe?

anyway, thanks for the help
[Atrix 4G General] praetorrian:
I just got the laptop dock yesterday. I figured my phones battery being low was keeping the laptop from working. It charged over night but I'm getting the same results. I get nothing on the laptop screen and nothing on the phone indicates it sees the laptop. The charging light on the laptop comes on and blinks when I plug in the AC adapter. I know the USB port on the phone is working since it works on my laptop. I tested the HDMI on my TV and works too.
[Atrix 4G General] profclean2000:
Tell us a little more about your phone if you dont mind. What ROM are you using? If you are stock it should work out of the box however stock is the operative word here.

If you are using a custom ROM that may be part of the issue, depending on the ROM it may have had the webtop partition and software removed. If you provide a little more information we may be able to point you in the right direction :)
[Atrix 4G General] praetorrian:
We both have stock gingerbread. We are not rooted either.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
Make sure the lapdock is charged. There is a little battery button on the front that when you press, up to 5 LEDs light up, where 5 LEDs on indicates a full charge. The lapdock has its own battery and charges the phone when docked. Mine came about 75% charged. It's possible you have a defective lapdock/battery.
[Atrix 4G General] praetorrian:
It shows the dock to be at full charge.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
Interesting. The way you say both the USB and HDMI work with your laptop and TV leads me to believe the problem is with the lapdock, because at the very least you should see on the screen of the lapdock what you are seeing when you plug it into the TV via hdmi.

I just got a lapdock today as well, not extremely happy with the build design, but it seems to be a nifty little tool to have. Kindof like netbook sized, and works decent with my phone.

Do you only have one phone to try it with?
[Atrix 4G General] praetorrian:
We only have the one Atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] nunjabusiness:
Is this a refurb or new? The reason I ask is that return warranty will be different. Also, if you have a new one and return it, I am about 99% sure you will get a refurb. If it is defective, you need to swap it out while you still can. 30-day return is the norm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone received all the tech goodies we wanted for Xmas!

I've noticed that most of the ROM's available in the development section already have an Overclocked Kernel and also UV options. I personally would rather use a stock kernel, or a custom kernel that is not overclocked. Right now I don't see that available from what I've searched for.

There are a couple ROMs I'm interested in running, but both install a new OC kernel. Is it possible to strip the kernel from the ROM before installing? And if so, does anyone know a tutorial for doing so, or is it as simple as opening the archive file, stripping the kernel out, and rezipping the file?

I know there are apps like SetCPU to change the clock speed on an OC ROM, but I really don't want to depend on software to keep the OC from occuring. I hope I was clear enough in my post to get the point across lol! Thanks for any assistance gents (and ladies).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Franco's kernels don't have OC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:
Thanks Josh! Appreciate your input. I am still interested in the other option as well, stripping the kernel from the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I am not sure how to repackage the from after you do that, but if you extract the rom the kernel is called "boot.img" and you can flash it in fastboot so you can basically flash any kernel you want on any rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikon8:
Just curious why you wouldn't want an OC/UV kernel, you're getting better performance and better battery life, no downside imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:
I honestly just don't like to OC my CPU's. In the long run it will decrease the life of the CPU.

Besides, if you have a great AOSP ROM to run, there really is no need to OC at all. Any performance boost from the OC comes at the cost of shortening the life of the CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] down8:
I've run Intel chips at 40% OC for a decade at a time, with little impact.

I don't expect my Nexus, with or without <20% OC, to last me nearly that long.

Just sayin'....

Any Way to make GrooveIP work on this tablet???

I would like to use some type of voip with this device. I need to be able to make calls if possible. Are there any hacks for this?

Sent from my HTC EVO View 4G Honeycomb Tablet, runing on the Now Network, (or my AT&T Home Router, lol).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vancraft:
It's working in Gingerbread

One of the first things I did, before HoneyComb OTA came out, was load my Google Voice app, from the market.

Then I loaded and opened Groove IP. I set it up to match up with my GV acct. and also set it up to load at device bootup.

The last thing was to go to my GV acct. via a browser and check the box to forward incoming calls to Google Chat.

Now I have incoming and outgoing call capability(when in a wifi connection).

I either use a headset or hold my ear to the bottom speaker(back of unit).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Peeodee:
i didn't have any problems installing it. Works perfect synched up with GV
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Groove IP has always worked perfectly for me on the Flyer, both GB and now HC Roms.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deedscreen:
My View just says "Please try again." Then I get three beeps. Then the call discontinues.

What do I do?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Do you have Google voice installed? That is required
[Acer Iconia A500] omik47:
Just bought a Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headset but my Acer a500 can't find it. Anyone else having problems with Bluetooth? Know a fix?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Can you take them back?

Contrary to popular belief, some bluetooth devices are not compatible with some Android products. Just like with Windows.

Are you rooted? Custom Rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] omik47:
Unfortunately I tossed the packaging, so returning is not an option. It works fine with my LG Revo so I'm fine with keeping it. Just a little bummed that it won't work with my a500. I'm rooted running kjy's honeylicious icy faux rom. I doubt its the rom, likely incompatability issues like you said. Thanks for the reply.
[Acer Iconia A500] JFHughes08088:
Not sure why they don't work for you. I have the same pair and they work fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] omik47:
What rom are you using?
[Acer Iconia A500] omik47:
Finally got it to see, pair and connect! I didn't realize I had to make the a500 discoverable for it to find the headset. Can anyone say brainfart.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draceus:
Hello, to start yes I'm really stupid! I did watch the video in the start to try and find the answer to the following questions but it just confuses me and I would really like to get this done, thanks and on to the question!

So minutes ago I got my CM7 working for the first time! And right away I wanted to increase the clock of my CPU but it won't go higher then 768 on setcpu. From what I managed to understand its because of the kernel... So is it possible to increase the max clock with another kernel, if so whitch one and how much is safe to clock?

Thanks!

HTC Buzz (Wildfire)

Android version 2.3.7

Kernel version 2.6.35.14

Mod: Cyanogen 7.1.0.1 build GWK74
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Yes its the kernel that controls CPU speed, test it for a while at 768mhz as not many wildfires can even cope with that, if you have problems random reboots, freezing etc then turn it down a little.

Kieranftw made a kernel called infinity ice or play I think? which made it possible to oc at 788 or 800mhz, mine was fine at 788 but very unstable at 800 so now I just settle for 768 as I didn't really notice a difference between the two, any higher than that is asking for trouble imo.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draceus:
ok thanks for the answer, ive had no errors with the current settings, maybe ill keep it like this for the moment
[About XDA developers] HeWhoWas:
Hey guys

I've been noticing this over the last few weeks, and thought I'd throw it out there.

Whenever I visit a forum/thread on xda-developers.com, the page never loads completely. It just sits there reading data from somewhere (Not static, changes.)

Some of the sites I've seen it reading from are:

media.xda-developers.com

ping.crowdscience.com

cdn.eyewonder.com

Looks like it's something to do with ads. Not much of a problem, but thought you might like to be made aware.

EmoBoiix3: This is what I'm doing. It's obviously something that is incorrect on the site though, and thought the admins would like to be advised so they can address it.

Jinsuke32: Which Browser do you use? I get it with Firefox both at home and work, so it can't be just my PC.

MacaronyMax: I have it installed but xda is on the list of exclusions. Support those who support you and what not :-P
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Can't say I have seen this either running FF on windows 7 ultimate.
[About XDA developers] Archer:
There's nothing they can do about the ad content. If it takes forever to load then it takes forever to load, and that's it I'm afraid.

I recently added some social media links to a bunch of commercial websites and they all started doing the same thing. As soon as I removed the social media links the sites worked fine, so I've stopped using 3rd party stuff as much as possible.

Other than blocking the ads there's no answer to this, unless XDA removes the advertising ;)

No ad blocking for me, running chrome, and I do not have this 'feature'/'issue'.
[Kindle Fire General] DanNicolescu:
I have a Kindle Fire firmware 6.2.1, rooted today with Kindle fire utility v.7.

Everything worked perfectly after root.

I tried to install an apk through adb install. Got the INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

Logcat showed:

"Package se.norstedts.svenskastora requires unavailable shared library com.google.android.maps; failing!."

So I did the following:

1. copied com.google.android.maps.jar to system/framework.

2. Installed Google maps v5.12.0.apk from the device.

3. I tried to install the app again. Got the same error INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY because of the missing com.google.android.maps

4. Modified /etc/permisions/platform.xml. I appended at the end of the xml file in the "list of all the libraries available for application code to link against." section:

<library name="com.google.android.maps"

file="/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar" />

5. restarted device and discovered that i lost internet conectivity!!

I restored the original platform.xml, deleted the com.google.android.maps.jar from system/framework and still no internet conection.

Wifi module seems to work ok. The problem is that apps seem to have lost their acces to internet.

I really need some help!!
[Kindle Fire General] DanNicolescu:
Could it be a RW problem?

I used Root Explorer to copy com.google.android.maps.jar and replace platform.xml.

Is it possible to check whether "/system/framework" and "/etc/permissions" have the default RW permissions?

Could factory reset restore this? I personally highly doubt that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] servergod:
So, got the nook tablet this morning, and decided to perform the permanent root here

Getting following instructions I was able to root the device on my first try. I began to setup the normal functions for me, exchange email Facebook etc.

FB is not compatible, i'm familliar with the HD2 and market problems with the dpi setting causing some market apps not to be compatible. I'll play with the build.prop and try to find a few good settings....maybe.

well, while setting up email I began to get FC when it would try and allow permissions from the exchange server to control the device (wipe/lock/etc)

Then settings started to FC as well as browser. So what do you do when that happens? why, you FNR (format n restore) of course! So i decided to wipe the nook and start over.

That's where my real fun began.

I don't know how to use adb, so I didn't use that to push applications after the FNR, so don't say "why didn't you just use adb to blah blah..noob..."

I tried to run the script again from the link above, but of course the device was already rooted. Ok, I went looking for a unroot and found the one click unroot. Unfortunatly since I had already FNR the device, su and everything else was gone. the one click did not work for me because of the state I put it in.

dig....read...surf....found a reference to an app but all links to that article on xda were 404.

found online nomoarzergy.zip (giyf)

Ran this, rebooted, then I was able to use the nookandzergy.bat to reroot and debloat.

I have tried the go laucher and the honeycomb launcher but both FC on the mail app with exchange.

Do a search on exchange - I seem to remember a thread here discussing that exchange e-mail won't work on the NT.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Then you did not correctly do a factory reset, you did a soft reset. Start there and it should fix all the issues.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
From what I have read, it looks like B&N crippled activesync security support in their code. Probably so that they could then sell users TouchDown from their app store. TouchDown will work, but it is pricey. I have been looking into the process of restoring or adding the activesync protocols back in to the NT, but haven't spent much time on it. Shafty023 has developed an e-mail apk that "fools" the Exchange server in some cases. You can find it by searching "Shafty023 email." I have not tried it yet, but another poster has reported that it allowed him to access his Exchange email on his NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Yeah this is the one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8007001&postcount=1 - Users just have to replace the original email.apk for this one MANUALLY. The same dev is also the creator of enhanced email which is an excellent app but it is not free.

Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Eustace2:
That is helpful information. I didn't know it was the same developer. EE is more reasonably priced than TouchDown. Do you know if EE will pull data into the Calendar and Contact apps loaded with the indirect root? I may test it with the file you link to and ,if it works, buy EE to get the upgrades.

Various conversations with LG support during December i have been told the following what now could be interpreted as LG Lies:

The update is ready on our end , so keeping checking the update tool and trying

The update has been ready since the 13th of December from LG's end we are just waiting for the service providers to do their testing and then once they give us the go ahead we will allow the update to be released

The update is imminent as of from the 13th of December so just check by plugging and checking for update online

Received in response to numerous requests, LG has tried to accelerate as much as possible the release of Gingerbread for Optimus Black declared his availability earlier this week. Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that there are problems with imperative that forced us to delay the release of Android Gingerbread for LG Optimus Black. LG’s goal is in fact the highest quality versions of software, a requirement to ensure not announced the release.

We are confident to publish the update in the coming weeks.

We apologize for any inconvenience and apologize for all users for their patience in us LG Optimus Black.

Once this release date got moved to December I realized this update aint gonna appear in 2011

We can hope for a 2012 release though

ahaaaa

i understand... i would suggest writing on different MOBILE LG support websites, and trying to get some answer from them, because this is outrageous...

i mean, come on... we bought the OB, give us some suport, ...

we peace up the bits of info that we all get and try to reach the truth...

it can be a common and easy effort, write to them, (support websites, facebook... etc) and politely ask them... what is up with the update???...
