[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shogzilla:
USB Connection error. This is while attempting to run the initial, GB, RUU.

Background: I'm on a custom GB rom (CNH), rooted, s-off. My host machine is running ubuntu 10.04 (I have reasons for not moving to 11), so I'm stuck w/ using wine for the ruu run (I believe. Maybe there's mojo involving extraction & running via fastboot?).

I try to avoid wine, but needs must, so I got the RUU 'working' up to the point of finding the 'phone' (IE: installed the various libs needed). I can't get it to detect the view.

RUU version I'm running is RUU_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1_Radio_1.05.11.0531_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_198141_signed.exe, just in case that's incorrect.

Whenever I try to connect (run the ruu), I get 'ERROR[170]: USB Connection Error'. Googling says that getting the 'proper' htc sync installed alongside drivers should fix this; did that (both ver 3.0.5511 and 3.0.5606), no help. Read that running the view in sync mode should do the trick (versus charge only or disk drive); no change. In all cases, debugging mode is on. In all cases, no issues using drive mode when desired.

Any thoughts? I do -not- have access to a windows machine. I do not have an iso or disk to install vmware for a more 'real' windows setup. (I could -get- either, but that seems a ridiculous length to go to. 'Install windows' shouldn't be a step in this, no?)

(One thing I'm not clear on: is the flash to the gb ruu needed? CNH rom is a GB rom, doesn't strip sense, doesn't alter the partition table, AFAIK (which isn't very far). But, I imagine it must be needed, or why else would it be there?)

(Re: experienced modders only: okay, I don't mod anything. I just run other folk's roms. And, if there's a simpler method coming around the bend which bypasses my issue, I'm fine with waiting.)

I had no idea that account existed, I'm Shogzilla above. Felt the need to post a reply to give some bona-fides for 'not being a complete novice', I was the first person to make the hard buttons on the nook color work as menu & back, I've been flashing / etc on N1, G2, Sensation and the aforementioned nook color since they came out, usually before the user-friendly methods.

I hope my post history bears this out. I've just never been in a situation to run an ruu before =(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Check the flyer dev forum, "new to flyer/view" thread. You want unruu, this will allow you to extract the rom.zip from the exe. I'd give you a direct link but I'm on a train, so access is not so good.

It's statically linked so you should not need anything else.

Perfect, thanks. Doing so.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hanzohittori:
I flashed the recovery.img from the zip file through fastboot and still got the same result. I will see the tablet icon with 2 green half circle arrows for a few seconds and then the red triangle with the exclamation point. Any other ideas of what else I can try?

My initial post:

My device is s-off. I ran the RUU just fine. After installing the first OTA I went to install the honeycomb OTA. After the initial progress bar got 1/3 accross it just hung on a black screen with a red triangle with an exclamation point in it. I can force it to reboot and it comes back into GB just fine.

I tried the OTA a few more times with the same result. I even ran the RUU once more and ended up with the same result.

Any ideas on whats wrong?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] turbooutlaw:
After doing this (rename the express RUU) booting from a recovery image using fastboot-mac results in a white HTC screen. In my case...I know what I did wrong. I was a few updates behind and I went into softbrick after the first update reboot. That is when I ran the express RUU procedure and everything looked fine.....except the softbrick. So I tried renaming the expressRUU and put it on the SDCARD and installed twice. It was at this point that I realized that I likely ran this process on the wrong update. I don't know how I could have avoided this however because I got the blue Droid and triangle after my first update. I was 100% stock and rooted when I started. Globatron....any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Download this file: http://www.multiupload.com/IEYSRJR195

flash it from fastboot then the mini ruu like this:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip therest.zip
fastboot flash zip express-mini-ruu.zip

That is enough to get recovery working and ensure you don't run out of battery. I'll fix the remainder for you in an hour or so when I get the pieces put together.

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a car charger that would actually charge my 8.9 tab.

I have hooked up my tab to various USB sockets and im still getting the red X on the battery. I even tried a 2.1a socket. No luck. This is going back to amazon unfortunately.

XTG (Does not charge my tab)

(actually, i might keep it for my HTC evo. I like how its blade fused)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] 0okami:
Here's UPDATE in case someone has the same issue with charging the 8.9 tab via usb.

With these steps followed, I was able to get USB charging from any usb socket. Not just wall.

I rooted my Galaxy 8.9 following these instructions:

And then, I flashed this rom:

And then, I enabled USB charging as described in here:

And DONE. Now its charging from USB.

It charges slow but that's expected. If i want to charge faster, I use the wall socket.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories] Myster_X:
You were very close to getting it correct with your first post. That car charger you have is plenty powerful at 2.1a (I'd actually recommend getting one that does both 1a & 2a to charge either a phone or tablet in the car). My understanding of the Galaxy Tab is that they won't charge correctly over USB. By default, they just behave as mass storage devices. If you want to get your Galaxy Tab to charge over USB, you'll need a special USB adapter that connects inline with your existing charging cable. This little gem was designed for the earlier generation of Galaxy Tab, but the charging issue is the same.

USB Data/Charging Extension Cable for Samsung P1000 - Black (found at DealExtreme dot com)

Or, you could buy this nifty external battery, which includes the required inline charging cable.

New Trent IMP99D (found at NewTrent dot com)

Obviously, you were able to get it to work by rooting, etc. But for those who may be interested in a vanilla solution, this may help. Also, sorry for not posting links, but I'm a noob poster, and the rules don't allow me. You should be able to find the products I mentioned above pretty easily though.

Hey guys I was thinking. Do you know that voice control app our Samsung galaxy comes with. You just say hi galaxy and it says what would you like to do.

Is it possible we can unlock our galaxy by voice command. Like say unlock galaxy and it would unlock?

Also would we be getting the facial recognition unlock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GideonX:

That's easy to do ! You just have to download a keyboard (for example GO keyboard), then you have to uncheck Touch Input keyboard in your preferences !
[HTC Sensation] Gragono:
Haha sounds easy, but i wont help me ;)

I've got a Custom ROM installed on it.. and normaly you can choose between Keyboards, but of i do CHECK an other keyboard, like GO for example, it wont pop up when i want to type something. And yes, normaly it do works, but this time none of the other keyboards wil activate ;)
[HTC Sensation] Vectorius:
I had the same problem before but i found a solution,

I maintain my finger on the screen (where the text is typed) a popup appears and i can chose a tab which is named "Mode de saisie" in french (maybe input mode in english) and then the system ask to me to choose between the different keyboards I installed.

I don't know if you understand me, but if you don't you can ask me some questions :)
[HTC Sensation] Gragono:
I know what you mean.. but on my HTC it did gave the options for an other keyboard, but on my friends HTC it only gave him a option for changing fonts, and not keyboards..

Soo still no changes.. :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oalex:
As you say it yesterday I believe you have some light short circuit in the hardware or simply in the usb pins. There light acid in the rain (depending on where you leave) and that makes it a conductor.

Back in the old days what we did was take the phone apart and hair dry. But those where the big-a$s Nokias from late 90-s. This system is more fragile.

Actually you are doing the worst thing that you can do to it right now. That is turning it on and keeping it on. All you should do in my opinion is turn it off, remove battery and leave it in a dry place to dry up (~2 day). And only start using it after that. Every thing should be fine.

P.S: The Galaxy Note is not IP rated, so dont leave it out in the rain and dont take it with you to the shower ;)

Hi all:

I am a developer for an app that forwards SMS (and other things) to an email address. Obviously it would be elegant to be able to reply to your SMS right from your email account, while the other side still sees your SMS in the normal way, and the app does exactly this.

But to get the reply back to the phone via email, we need the user to enter the email-to-SMS address as part of setup. You know, like 2223334444@txt.att.net or @vtext.com. The app has a database for some countries and carriers but obviously its a drop in the bucket.

We are finding out that maybe not a lot of people know of such a feature on their phones, hence this poll! It'll help us try some other ideas, or implement this one differently.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who responded. As a result of the poll results, PhoneLeash now supports forwarding SMS (and missed calls, and location, and battery status) to another phone number via SMS. And replying back to these forwarded SMS' does not require an email-to-SMS feature. If you forward to a Google Voice number (or other PC-based SMS-capable services such as HeyWire, Pinger), you can use a PC, and enjoy a very nice feature set (see this review).

I just got a warning letter from AT&T in the mail for tethering without a tethering plan and they are threatening to eliminate my unlimited plan. I am going to stop now that they have warned me so I don't loose the plan but does anyone know how they detect it. I tethered a lot last month but I have been tethering for about 6 months now undetected. Last month though, I used 2GB of data compared to the 1GB I normally use. Is it only the spike which made them guess. I use the android wifi tether app. I heard a couple ways of how they do it.

1) They look at the user agent.

2) They look at the TCP/IP header for the number of hops. (Tetherers will have an extra hop) -if this is true if I used wired tether it would be fine

3) Just the spike in data usage.

I'm curious to know how they do it and if there is a way to stop them from knowing. There is a lot of this for the iphone but not for androids. Anybody know more about this
