The security warning usually means that the main_version value was incorrect for the OTA you are trying to run. Since the RUU for the OTA is out now, there isn't any reason you need to mess with the OTA any more. You can just go ahead and flash the 3.08.405.3 RUU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
So I just helped out a friend syncing his back up assistant contacts to his Gmail (very useful when rooting/flashing custom ROMs as most don't provide backup assistant in the rom) and had some shots and misses. Finally figured out a pretty simple way to do so.

1. Go to the contact app. Make sure your viewing your vzw backup assistant contacts. (menu key-contacts to show -backup assistant)

2. Hit the menu key. Click import/export. Click export to vcard. Accept.

3. Menu key. Contacts to view. Blah@gmail.com.

4. Menu-import/export. Import from storage.

5. After its done go to settings -accounts and sync-backup assistant - uncheck sync. Make sure Gmail is set to sync.

6. Thank me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
why didnt google took care of such a basic thing? It would have been better if syncing your account created an Android tab with ability to sync and merge, why google why you didnt do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkhanmd:
I wish I could thank you few times as this works. Takes the contacts from android and pushes them to gmail. Contact app is called "people" in samsung galaxy nexus verizon version. Make sure under contacts you have all contacts to be displayed, first export them into USB/storage space on phone and then import them back into gmail. Now make sure all new contacts are added on gmail.

I purchased my i9100 3 months ago, and have tried everything, flash hundreds of ROMs, official and unofficial, but the bloody pink spot stay still, and laughing at me :confused::confused:

It's not a big issue since I don't shoot very much, but really annoying

Many people said that it's software problem, and some did not see the pink spot anymore after an update, but to my phone nothing works :(

Would I never get rid of the problem ?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] madmax59:
yes how to downgrade 2.3.5 (28.12.2011 release) to 2.2 ?????
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Just flash B138 normally.

After reboot, problably the device will go to recovery mode and throw some errors about block devices. Do a wipe from recovery and reboot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] manxp85:
It looks that some guys succeeded in this downgrade while some others did not. I was one of these who failed.

I read many warnings not to try downgrading to 2.2, but I did it and... phone was bricked. Thankfully, it was replaced under a warranty.

I've just bought a desire(used) with a used 8gb micro sdhc.

The phone wont read the 8gb sdhc,but it read my ****ty 2gb sd...I thought that the sdhc was broken but my notebook can read it .-.
[Desire General] super_turbo:
try partitioning the SD card from your phone because i think it might be a different partition from what your phone accepts (FAT32 for Desire)
[Desire General] Adkov70:
Make a fat32 format Gparted CD and everything will be fine!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
How many people took the OTA as opposed to hoping for a miracle with root in the next couple of days and did you see any improvements
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
I received and installed the update immediately so I dont know any difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
I accepted the OTA but, my Prime had no GPS, weak wifi, light bleeding, and a charging cable that was falling apart so this thing was going back to Best Buy the next day. I just wanted to see if it would fix the first two issues since I had nothing to lose. As far as I could tell it did not make any difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] talont101:
I installed as soon as I got the tablet, no base line to compare.
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
I'm running a script to modify settings.db (found in the application forum) so that I can wirelessly tether and use the GPS on my phone while running Google Maps on the KF.

The script starts like this:

and works fine.

But I'm having problems running the script that others are having no problem with at this point in the script.

The script runs into permission errors. I have all the files in the same directory as adb in the platform-tools folder. adb is communicating with the device with the adb devices command. I run the .bat file from the folder while in a DOS command shell. And I get this error

Any idea what's going on?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i assume you'r at the $ prompt - if you type in su the prompt should change to #

perhaps a hint in the right direction ...

zergrush does'nt work anymore since 6.2.1 and burritoroot
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
I am not at any command prompt when running the script. I'm at the Windows prompt, and I just execute the script name?

Confused.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
when you type adb or adb shell your mostly at the $ prompt

when you type su the promt usually changes to # - thats root access

i think you have to integrate that in your script ...
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
I added

adb shell su

to the start of my script, but then it just hangs at the root prompt.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if you have rooted with burritoroot try "adb root"
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
It says:

adbd cannot run as root in production builds
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
ok then i think you will have to try it with the su method - maybe "adb su" could work - it's just a try

otherwise i think you will have to write a second unix stile script (ending .sh) to do the stuff and call it from your dos script or run it in the adn shell - but i'm not the unix expert - sorry

i'm running out of time now - wish you much luck with your script !!!
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
Anyone else please?
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
Resolved.….
[Kindle Fire General] loadie:
Resolved how? Very curious
[Kindle Fire General] lucien12:
Please, how did you solved the problem ???

thanks
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
would be interested too !
[Kindle Fire General] harry_fine:
Here's how.

I was so frustrated, didn't seem to be able to achieve root status and use ADB. So, I bought root explorer, went to directory where settings.db file was, and copied it to sdcard folder on the KF. Then brought it over to my PC just over the USB connection (KF was a Windows drive).

In Windows, ran the part of the script that replaces the "0" with a "1". Then copied it back to the sdcard folder on the device, and used root explorer to move it back to its proper directory.

Only one caution. Make sure that you don't change the permissions or ownerships of the file, that they are the same as when you first grabbed it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Kewyang:
In dell streak charging port have two rectagle piece of plastic right? Two of them have been broken. Another piece stuck inside my charger port, i still can charge as usual eventhough two of the pins have already broken. Why? Does it under warranty?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Final5k:
Probably you had a defective device or chances are that you did not insert the cable correctly and broke the pins. The charging port is really delicate if you need to re-solder it. Thing is, if you are not used to soldering delicate parts in a mobile device, chances are high that you would break something else while resoldering. Sell your faulty Streak and buy another second hand one - they are pretty cheap now (150-300usd + shipping on ebay depending on the condition. The cheaper it is, the more scrathes it has usually.). It's better to have a full functionning device than one that will soon stop functioning when you will have trouble connecting the pins together!! Better sell it in my opinion.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Kewyang:
It cannot be repaired?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Final5k:
If you know someone who can repair Dell Streaks, then ask them. otherwise......
[Streak 5 Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Damage to the charging port most likely will not be covered under any warranty, whether the carrier's warranty or Dell's. The cost of such a repair would likely approach the cost of a new Streak itself. Dell themselves never bothered actually repairing the Streak, sending out refurbished or new units as replacements.

Final5k's advice is sound. Purchasing a used Streak and then selling yours for parts is the way to go here.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Kewyang:
oMG it is really bad. I think the pin gradually be broken 1 by 1 as u said the pins are very delicate. I dun wish to sell my streak. Tomorrow i will try to contact dell.

Perhaps this is the last way to fix it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392360

LOL if i chosen the last way, my streak would look very different.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Kewyang:
Is this the item i am looking for?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Charger...Accessories&hash=item1e691b124a#ht_1606wt_952
[Streak 5 Accessories] Final5k:
You will probably do more harm to your device if you are a novice in dismantling phones and soldering parts. The removal of the Streak's housing is itself a pain if you are not careful enough. Where did you buy your phone?

The parts on ebay are usually non original ones as only Dell sells replacement parts. Again using non original parts might bring more problems to your phone.

But the choice is yours, if you want to venture on repairing your phone yourself, just be very careful not to damage other parts as you may end up with an unrepairable phone which you won't be able to sell to anyone.
[Streak 5 Accessories] k4021:
Something similar happened to me and I just used a fine pair of tweezers and a safety pin to get the plastic out and straighten the pins and now it works fine. One of the pins is broken in my phone but it still charges fine and can connect to the pc fine.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Kewyang:
u got the plastic out? I have two broken pin, but cant said it already broken, it just fold inside. I still able to use. Is the pin is the matter of charging speed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
My E4GT was stolen from me last night :mad::(

Left it on top of my car with a bag of groceries (I thought I had it in my pocket) while I ran inside for a minute. When I came outside it was gone.

Sadly, all of my nandroid backups were on the external SD card.

Also, without thinking- I immediately notified Sprint and had a replacement shipped out ($100 deductible/ old phone is immediately disconnected).

I forgot I could install applications remotely to the phone (perhaps a tracking application) :X

Anyways, if you don't already- make sure you have a way of getting your phone back! There are plenty of applications that can track your phone as a last resort (some activate from a specific txt message/ others online/ etc).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jye75:
Good advice. Even better advice: don't leave your phone on top of your car. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I'd still try and remotely install apps to the phone and try and get it back some how. Then just return the new phone you paid $100 for and get your money back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
This pretty much qualifies as carelessness in my book. But good thing you had the insurance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
I'm usually super protective of it; didn't realize it wasn't in my pocket until I was inside.

I'm on the phone with Sprint right now- asking them to temporarily active the stolen phone so I can remote-install an App and track it down.

I have a pretty good idea of who stole it- a guy that lives next door (at my girlfriend's apt) who was walking back and forth taking out trash/ he was the only one I saw outside at the time. I asked him later if he saw a phone in the grass and he acted a bit suspicious.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
You had TEP? TEP has an app that allows you to track the phone directly from their website, if I remember correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
For TEP it looks like you have to have the app installed prior to it being stolen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Havek923:
I'm sorry for your misfortune. But this now has me thinking about what app is the best for these situations? Anyone have any recommendations for apps to install to help find, lock, wipe the phone if need be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
Understandable. Outside of home and in my office at work, my phone is in one of two places: either in my hand or in my pocket. Always.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
A sprint representative told me it's now re-activated.

Although, 3 rings goes to voice-mail. Is that normal or does it go straight to voice-mail when the phone is not on/ not in service?

I should have thought of doing this last night /slaps self
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Havek923:
USUALLY, if the phone is off it will go right to voicemail. Don't know about the Out of service though. If it rings 3 full times, it sounds like it's on and someone is ignoring the call. But I could be wrong....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EVOSerb:
lookout Plan B

You can install Plan B from lookout to track your phone even if you didnt have lookout app installed.

Description

Plan B is the 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you lose your phone.

Plan B is your last resort to find your missing phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Seekdroid I'd well worth the 0.99 when I purchased it. Free solution would be Where's My Droid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
this wont work because the phone will need service for you to remotely install anything you will need working data and once the phone was reported stolen and a new one shipped the old one cant be used anymore it is permanently deactivated from the system i this because i work for sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
My brother recommended this one too; apparently one of his coworkers had his phone stolen and they were able to track it down with Plan B.

That is the first one I tried today. I've also tried Android Lost and Lost Droid Finder.

I installed the applications through Market remotely and have tried sending activation txts to them but haven't received anything back nor has 'Android Lost' registered itself with their control panel.

I'm guessing that by now the phone's either dead, out of service, or some dbag has sold it/ flashed over it. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
You can remotely track your phone for free without any app. I had sprint do it for me one time when I lost it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KING SKILLZ:
i use Cerberus, excellent features and tracking.

cerberusapp.com/market_description.txt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
The phone is no longer in service you can't track it if it was still in service you could I deal with this everyday and no we don't track the phone for you we refer you to family locator or one of the apps in the market but if you have it reported list our stolen and the service is deactivated you are S.O.L
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
I called Sprint to see if it's possible:

- The representative told me she could set up the locator but that 'requires' another Sprint phone in order to receive a temporary password/ complete the process.

- She told me that since it's ringing 3 times, it's probably someone rejecting the call as it comes in and that if the phone was dead/ out of service, it would go straight to voice-mail.

- She told me the insurance company- `Asurion` could track it for me and transferred me to them.

- I talked to an `Asurion` representative- who was able to pull up my claim information. She told me they have no way of doing that and the only way it could be done is if Sprint offers it as a service.

I'd assume that when the phone is in service and able to receive calls (with literally 0 wait time after dialing the #), there's decent enough service for the market to push an install.. but if that's true and they're not installing, perhaps the thief has already broken in/ flashed it/ etc and wiped out my gmail account info from the market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dreDrennon1:
As long as it still has service it is possible but if you reported it stolen and the service is no longer active on that device you cannot do it so apparently if it still rings when you call it then the service had not been suspended so they are jacking up your phone bill right now

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosetti:
Hi guys.

I want to buy a new head unit for my car in the next time.

My requirements are quality audio, mp3 via USB and/or SD card, nice and simple look, multiline display AND bluetooth handsfree set.

So I am very interested in this car stereo: Kenwood KDC-BT61U but its not working with ANY Windows Phone 7!!

I tried it with my HTC HD2 WP7 7740, HTC Titan and Nokia Lumia 800.

It looks like that most of the car stereos still dont support WP7.

For now it was only pairing with ALPINE CDE 126BTi. Its a good quality car stereo - no doubt about it - but its just crappy looking.

Is there any chance to change registry or something to enable some other bluetoth protocols or I dont know what else to get it working?

Kenwood said that they THINK to work on an firmware update... ok I think everybody knows what that means...

Thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avatar28:
I haven't had any problems pairing bluetooth with the ones I tried and I haven't heard of other people having issues either. Now if you're trying to use Zune support on the stereo (don't have time to look right now but I know I've seen it before), I can't help you. Bluetooth audio won't be as good of a quality as using a cable connection but it does give you the ability to skip forwards and backwards from the head unit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] papajetta:
Calks ROM, rougue stock kernel, el26, sensation theme seems like the most stable combo for smoothness and battery..

Ics et theme looks sick, but not perfect yet

However there are soo many great combos that its hard to stock with one for more than a couple of days. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Havek923:
I have tried several different roms/themes. I would have to say Calkulin's Rom/kernel build is perfect. Probably the best one out there in my opinion! If you want a good theme on it, I would do Tiffs "Nothing But Honeycomb" theme. I like it alot.

The only thing I don't like, and this is nothing against someones theme, but I am tired of blue. I would love to see a theme that is red or green. I love Tiffs theme alot. Love the icons and everything. Just wish it was a different color. I'm on blue over kill. But since there really isn't alot of colors to choose from. Tiffs is by far the best. She did/does great work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Venum's EL13 lean rom, with one of the stock el13 kernels has been running great for me. I'm using el26 modem/kernel with his el13 rom and its running great. The clear glass theme looks great as well. I've tried just about everything and it'd be down to:

Strongsteve's odexed rom(if you like the theme, because its pretty much set)

Calkulins rom with a stock repacked kernel(your choice, they're all good).

Or my fave, Venums rom.

Most any theme that works on calkulins will work on venums. Supposing they are based on the same release(ek02, el13 etc).

They are very similar in some regards, performance-wise I mean. They both rock.

Edit: and there's a few ICS themes in the theme section that work on both calks and venums :)

My mother bought one of these Cydle M7's some time ago- actually not a bad device, it works pretty well. However, of course, it's lacking all of the gapps stuff (no market access, maps, etc etc). Cydle has it's own very limited market. I've played around a little with it, seeing if I could get the market installed, etc, but I haven't seen anything on this device anywhere.
