[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pisquared:
after reading this thread, I decided to build a factory cable.

It is pretty stright forward indeed: I bought a micro-b usb connector, removed the connector of an old USB cable and soldered wires in correspondance to color and number. Because this is a factory (McGyver) cable I also soldered a 100kOhms resistor from VBUS to ID (i.e 1 to 4). For reference look here.

Now the interesting part (I am on linux):

$ lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 067: ID 22b8:41d4 Motorola PCS

this is different from how my defy is reported using a normal cable:

Bus 001 Device 069: ID 22b8:41db Motorola PCS Droid/Milestone (Debug mode)

While using a normal cable pluging it into the phone triggers a "USB connected" symbol on the phone nothing happens when using the modified cable, which is strange.

Also note the fact, that using the modified cable, the phone is reported earlier during bootup.

Like expected from a factory cable I can now boot the phone with battery removed. But after booting without battery my defy reports that no SIM card is inserted, and that the battery is at 5% (wth!) and must be charged... otherwise (WLAN, apps, etc.) it is working fine.

Starting a terminal app with su shows me that an instance of adbd is running, but adb client on my host machine lists no available devices. (Starting adbd from 2ndinit works fine, but the phone locks up if I try to continue booting, probably due to failing to aquire ressources for another adbd instance)

The question now is whether there are means to circumvent this lmitation i.e. forcing detection of SIM and restarting adbd in another mode.

My defy is rooted but otherwise stock european build without any updates.

Can somebody confirm my observations?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: another source with explanations
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackergnome:
There are reports that this damages the battery...

So better stay away from this don't put the battery...

This method mainly help when ur juice in battery is empty and u wanna flash ur phone with RSd but can't Coz u see battle low cannot program ... so using this cable eliminates this(helpful when u have a non removable back(Raze))

However from what I read this wont charge ur battery...(I don't know)

Now ur issue...

Can u see baseband in ur about phone??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pisquared:
Thanks for the warning... Does the µC drive the battery controller berzerk?

Baseband is EPU93_U_00.60.00

When I reboot the phone it will work fine, just when booting without battery it stops recognizing the SIM card.

Another thing is strange: If I plug the "factory" cable after a clean reboot on battery then unplug it and use the standard cable the phone will still not recognioze the usb connection.

Until next reboot that is...

I also looked at sources of adb and observed, that using the factory cable on my linux box the phone does not report the adb subdevice, ie. adb.h:

372 #define ADB_CLASS 0xff
373 #define ADB_SUBCLASS 0x42
374 #define ADB_PROTOCOL 0x1

-- so this is the reason why adb fails, the phone just does not register the appropiate subdevice, no idea why...

My last try was to remove the battery after connectong "factory" cable, which caused the phone to bail out a warning about low battery and then instantly reboot. aw snap!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wskelly:
You should be able to short pin 2 and pin 3 (D- and D+) together, and then this cable would be considered a "charge cable". It will not be usable for data any longer, and the phone should report "AC charging" (try the Battery Monitor Widget app) when it is plugged in with this cable, and it will charge at a much higher rate (higher current draw) with this cable.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pisquared:
My actual goal now is to get adb running when on factory cable, but I do not have much time at the moment.

In a second stage it would be interesting to force the phone to detect the SIM.

This would allow to use the phone without battery....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cybik:
Well, at least in Québec.

Yesterday morning I checked the Best Buy .ca site's stock state on the Gray 32GB CBIL (Canadian Bilingual [the box writing]), and lo and behold, there was stock right next to my place. I went to the store AND THEY HAD 6 UNITS AT LEAST.

Right now, the Lachenaie store still has stock, and half of Québec's Best Buy stores have some in stock - if you're a québécois, check your closest store's stock state. Of course, Montréal's "main" BBs are out of stock, but suburbialand seems to have a couple.

Simple heads up for the five or six other canadian frenchies in the forums ;)

Also: I was nice to the salesman and asked him to pitch me the extended warranty. 3y was steep, 2y was 100$, he said right off the bat "I can lower it to 70$". I said "If you can give me juuuust a little better a price on the extended warranty, i'll take it". So I got a 2y extended for 60$. Since the Prime is known to be excellent but not without its issues, you

might

want to play it safe ;)

I live right next to Bureau en gros (staples in the village). No luck there.they had grey for a few days but i really want champagne.

I waited two months already,i can 2 wait a few weeks more. Do you see any bug on the bilingual version so far ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cybik:
No real bug aside from some graphics tearing extremely rarely (on an ICS-updated). The only difference with the "bilingual" SKU (CBIL) is the fact that there's french documents inside the box and french writing on the outside. That is, like, SO important to the tablet's software ;)

Oh, and GPS sucks balls as always.

So the keyboard dock is in English ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cybik:
I didn't verify the dock, but if it's the CBIL one, the accents/french canadian characters are "secondary". I'll upload a pic.

[HTC EVO 3D] |=>AmuzZ<=|:
Hey guy i jus wanna now if u guys have any idea of how to covert SBS movies for evo 3d

but

i want it to convert lik the 1s v download from youtube if u put them on mobile they straight play in 3d no need to go to options the select play in 3D

any ideas????
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
If the movie is already in SBS format, just use Handbrake and convert to whatever resolution you want, preferably 720 height. I normally use about 3000kbps bitrate.
[HTC EVO 3D] |=>AmuzZ<=|:
yes i do use that too but my point is to convert it to play direct and not have to select play in 3D on the phone

if i click on the video it should play in 3D n not in SBS
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesRC:
Hi all

I've picked up a Xoom in the UK. I quite like the tablet but it has a few niggling issues. I'd like to know if these are fixed in ICS (I do not want to unlock the bootloader etc. to update in case I wish to return it). Is rooting and unlocking the bootloader reversible?

I've read ICS is notably faster and avoids the "keyboard lag" particularly evident on XDA, but would appreciate some comments on the following:

Screen Brightness: Auto sucks, it's always too low. Is this improved in ICS?

Browser: The browser doesn't fully load a page. Only the first portion is rendered, scrolling down the page means the next part is rendered. Scroll back up and the earlier part you've already seen is NOT in memory and is re-rendered. Most annoying!

Any comments appreciated.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hchxoom:
ICS is most definitely an improvement over stock,in terms of speed and stability. Quite amazing, given that the ICS builds we have now are alpha engineering builds.

To your specific questions,I never really had a problem with autobrightness or with browser rendering... but I've been off stock so long I just may not remember the browser issues. I also converted pretty early on to Dolphin HD browser due to a few stock browser quirks, and am now playing with Boat Browser, which seems a bit lighter than Dolphin and which I like a lot so far.

At any rate, I'd suggest you read through the ICS thread of your choice thoroughly and if you like what you see, give it a try... you can always go back to stock and relock if you decide Xoom is not for you... but I can tell you it is a whole new,and much improved, device on ICS. I'm running Team EOS's version for 4g.

If you decide to giving it a try, the Universal Root thread is a must read.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boarder277:
Unlocking the boot loader and rooting the XOOM on 3.2 Honeycomb is absolutely reversible, I have done it myself several times with no problems

I followed this YouTube tutorial for both

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7Dw1PNnmHE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSH14xI5c8s&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Good luck, since it is reversible there is not much risk involved in rooting and unlocking your bootloader and Motorola website provides the stock system images to return your device to stock and re-lock your boot loader in just a few simple commands.....I suggest reading up allot before attempting, there are some great tutorials to familiarize yourself with ADB and the commands and such.

I rooted back on 3.2 and flashed the Team EOS ICS build and I have to say it runs amazing and I have not regretted it for a second.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesRC:
Thanks guys - much appreciated.

I'm interested in the Team EOS build - I'll have a good read up! I'm not alien to the root and unlock process though - looks similar to my Sensation.

Cheers!

Stock HC is a disappointment, EOS is in a word

awesome

. I use the wingray variation and overclock stable at 1.6 Ghz. I ditched stock over 6 months ago and never looked back. The same folks that bring EOS ICS brought us Tiamat HC which is what I started on after unlocking. Motorola should outsource to these guys. :eek: :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al mon:
Can't agree more. Stock 3.2 sucked. Slow UI, default launcher was clunky - it made the Xoom a disappointment.

ICS EOS Wingray (wi-fi), is awesome. Even the nightly builds are usually stable ;). Sometimes not but most of the time yes. I'm running nightly 54 and rock solid. The only bugs I've encountered are: 1) camera flash over exposes picture, 2) wi-fi off when sleep does not work.

Battery life is good as long as its not over-clocked. Over-clocked, expect it to eat the battery quicker and for most things you do - OC is not needed.

Try it out.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr1vate piles:
yes yes oh god yes.

:p
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightbme:
I've just moved up to the stock rooted ICS from Tiamat HC and whilst the visuals are fairly similar, it's definitely smooooooother :) Well worth the move. I've also never found overclocking to be a necessity on the Xoom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I'm upgrading in about a month, and i decided to get the Epic 4G Touch instead of wait for the Galaxy Nexus to arrive on Sprint. Now my only question is, white or black? I'm mainly wondering which one feels better in the hand, and which one visually looks better after normal everyday use. I'm switching from the white Evo 4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mynaga:
Have both in my house the white is a bit slippery it doesn't have the stippled back. Other than that they are exactly same and the back pieces are interchangeable.

I have the black my gf has the white, both pretty slick. Rooting process is exact same even though it shows it as a different model.

White gets dirtier quicker in most cases, and the white version has an aluminumish bumper instead of plastic and it will get super trashed if you drop it without a case, vs the black which has plastic and can take drops like a boss.

Ymmv gl hope this helps

For all of us who bought this app for Bada 1.2 and now realized that this app won't be available with Bada 2.0:

I think that any word at this moment can describe exactly what i'm thinking about Bada....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] smarty99:
Stop spoofing games & Apps

it's means stealing

" Combination of low sales ... "

if everyone instead of spoof the app would buy the app

than maybe it would be worth to the developers to develop more apps for bada

sad
[Bada Software and Hacking General] KrazyKong:
Both Sygic and NDrive had terrible pricing for their apps. Heck the Australia version of one of the apps was $80, while most of the other versions was only $40.

I agree that spoofing can hurt the overall sales of an app, but an app needs to be priced right, and have some consistency. Secondly alot of people who spoofed these apps were never offered a proper version they could download for their part of the world. When you see that neither Sygic or NDrive create the map data themselves, then it seems even more of a no brainer as to why they didn't have proper worldwide coverage of their apps.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
Apps are usually priced the same across different OS and not across different countries. Check the second sentence, Samo clearly states that sales as compared to effort for development/maintenance is not on par. Stop spoofing and start buying.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] wav3rid3r:
while spoofing may hurt sales a little i dont think that is the main problem for this decision (hell... android has even more people getting their paid apps for free... i personally dont know any 1 who has paid for their gps app ... lol .. maybe sad.. but true)

i think it has more to do with the fact that the future of bada is at this moment a lottery, and on the other hand,, the deal with tomtom :rolleyes:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mayank7_d:
In case of Andriod that is not an issue, as the customer base is so large that even a small percentage of people buying the apps meet the developer's target. And for bada as the customer base is low it affects the developers a lot. Future of bada doesn't just depends on the Samsung's decision and the deal with tomtom, it also depends on us being a good customer. We need to pay for what we use and not just steal as no-one can catch us. If we want bada to flourish then support it and don't be a leech.

Ok I've been using Cyanogenmod 7 on the Xperia Play and I want to flash back to the stock ROM, do I just simply flash with Flash tool or there are precautions to be made.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
You should be fine, flashtool really takes care of everything, obviously the one thing you do need to do is back up your apps and data (as I would reccommend not carrying over old data/settings). If you wanted to be really safe you can go into CWM and clear your cache, davlik, etc. just to be sure any incompatiable settings arent brought over. But take a nandroid backup before, so if something does fail you can just fastboot a kernel and restore to try again.

They told you the back doesn't come off? It does. So what else do they not know?

This is by no means a "can't be done." It is very easy to remove the back cover and battery from the Razr if you have the right tools. Will the MAXX cover fit? That we don't know yet but making a 3rd party back cover is trivial. If we ask this question the way we really mean, "Can we put a bigger battery in the Razr?" the answer is probably yes.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
A question for all. Is there any way to get movies/tv shows for the tab? Refering to either an app (buy the content) or legal website to purchace. Now im not talking about hulu or any subscription based program. The original tab had Media Hub and tha was great. Another option would be how to rip blue ray or dvd then transfer to tab but i know ripping software are expensive and i would need to buy external blue ray for my laptop to go that route not very economical. Sugestions would be welcomed as i really wast to take advantage of the screen. And what restrictions would i have to install the content on the externat sd card and what could i do in order for it the play. Thanks and hope i was clear on what i am looking for :-)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Masterface7:
there is always free programs to rip and convert stuff you could do something like this for dvds.

edit: here is a more old school guide for the process just in case.

I pose a moral question. If you already own the material why not just save yourself a lot of time and hassle and download it? The end product is the same as if you rip the dvd and remove the protection then convert it to a more managable .mp4 or .mkv yourself.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] C3POID:
Huh? I thought the big benefit of iTunes is to be DRM free, but maybe this is only with music…

btw: Try MX Player! It can play nearly everything for free and you can use hardware decoding.
