Here are my "Pro Tips":

- after a call ends you are returned to the call log; very annoying (especially when in Navigation); AfterCall by iMediot helps solve this problem

- another useful / cool app is SpeakerProximity; it will automatically switch between speaker and head output based on the values from proximity sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Supposedly this was fixed with 4.0.4, supposedly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaymondScrott:
I think it would help clarify the Screenshot tip to mention that the Volume Down & Power buttons have to be held down simultaneously. Took me a while to get the hang of it.

Learnt 3 things...the time lapse thing,keyboard prediction thing(probably won't use it that much though.) And the speaker proximity thing. Thanks dude!

One thing tho,there's a free app for avoiding call logs after a call. Called not call log. Also on call end. 2 free apps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Thanks I'll add those, good to have free alternatives.

AFAIK those can only take you to Home screen (or another specified app), not last app you used.

I'm looking for something similar to this, in Google Sky View form: http://www.n2yo.com/?s=25544

The ISS is flying within excellent view of home in about 14 hours, and I just want to know what direction and angle to be looking in for a good view, plus it's something fun to have...

Suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eTaurus:
Try Satellite AR, Space Junk lite or Heavens Above from Market.

ISS Lookout or ISS Detector is also a guess.

Haven't tested them but a quick Google search pointed me to a german forum where a guy recommended the three first named apps.

Hope you see the ISS! :)

I was born in 72, was having fun with commodore 64, also amiga 500. Now Im professional designer, creating web sites, tv commercials and also work with prepress too.

Covering everyday all those aread I can say that - yes, my knowledge and experience are huge, therefore, beside my regular job I also teach people things I ve learned thorough the years.

I share my knowledge everyday, I share my will to help, same I was doing before, as a kid and teenager, when I was, hacking and programming.

I always believed in community, in doing the good, sharing the knowledge but what we all have nowdays? 77 of you was too lazy to do what I asked. Helping someone wasnt enough to move your ass. And that is impressive, becuse before that was the main motif to do something, to investigate, to learn something new, to improve yourself and help too...

But it looks like its different now.

How do i remove wifi from my tmobile g2? im using cyanogenmod 7.1. i want to completely remove the ability of using wifi from my phone. ive tried to see if theres any apk i can just uninstall but havent found one yet. thought it might be certificate installer(cm barebones wiki) but the wifi still worked.

anybody know how to remove it?

Agreed why wouldn't u want wifi on an Android phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
You'll want to remove the bcm4329.ko file. I forget where it is located. Give me a minute to find.

Yeah - delete bcm4329.ko from /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko. Back it up to your sdcard first.

You'll need root, but this will keep your wifi from working - however, I am not 100% sure it won't break anything else. More like 99% sure. Be sure someone else confirms this before you do so.

To restore your wifi, take the backup of bcm4329.ko on your sdcard, put it back in that directory listed above, and reboot.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smaisonville:
You can try a different approach by using Avast! Security found in Play Store. It provides antivirus protection, it also has a firewall that you is customizable by app and type of access; Wifi, mobile, roaming. You can set up a pin number for security. This gives the flexibility of allowing some apps to use Wifi or not. Check it out as an alternative of no Wifi at all.

G2 using Mimicry 1.5.0

warning - if you are s off do not use this guide to return to stock till its updated. You will brick your device

Unrooting The HTC Rezound

1. Assuming your bootloader is unlocked since you are rooted.

Fastboot Tool Download (Credit to slacker101 for the tool):

http://db.tt/nDADCLgY

The easiest way I've found to re-lock your rezound is to download the attached "tools.zip" and extract to your desktop.

Boot your rezound into fastboot by removing your battery, putting the battery back in, holding down on the volume rocker and power. Then plug your rezound into your computer. Assuming you used your computer to unlock the rezound then you should already have the required drivers.

Open command prompt and enter the following:

cd C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\desktop\tools

Then run the command

fastboot oem lock

Your bootloader is now locked and ready to begin restoring stock recovery and rom from Stock RUU.

2. Downloading the stock RUU

*Will Update As New RUU's Are Released*

2.02.605.11 STOCK RUU EXE

download

1.02.605.6 STOCK RUU EXE

download

(will add PH98IMG.zip download for 2nd method soon)

You can do this one of two ways. You can use the exe ruu which i like to use, its simple straight forward and guides you through the process

-or-

Extract the RUU zip from the exe or download from XDA its all over.

Rename the zip PH98IMG.ZIP put on root of SD card and boot into HBOOT hit

yes with appropriate volume key and let it do its thing.

I personaly perfer running the exe. Makes life easy. But whatever floats your boat.

SIDE NOTE: IF YOU WISH TO ROOT AGAIN

the one click root tool might not work properly and will not have proper permision to install SU, If this happens flash amon through fastboot. And under development section install su / superuser, you are now rooted again :D

DrSadistic ( Fastboot section )

***this was a quick write up so if you think anything should be added or removed, or there is some wrong information let me know so i can fix it***
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Is the RUU your uploading older or the same version as the OTA.
[HTC Rezound] TeamSPD:
Awesome. Thanks for the guide. Makes life easier with these straight forward steps.
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
ill be using the last RUU and will update with new RUU when i get my hands on it :)

no problem :D
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
RUU link added
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
Just wanted to add a little something, if you dont mind...

The easiest way I've found to re-lock your rezound is to download the attached "tools.zip" and extract to your desktop.

Boot your rezound into fastboot by removing your battery, putting the battery back in, holding down on the volume rocker and power. Then plug your rezound into your computer. Assuming you used your computer to unlock the rezound then you should already have the required drivers.

Open command prompt and enter the following:

Then run the fastboot oem lock command.

thanks for the addition i used what you said pretty much word for word, gave slacker101 and you credit for the contribution let me know how everything looks :)
[HTC Rezound] DrSadistic:
You didnt have to give me credit, but it looks great.
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
Mods can we get this stickied
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
I wasn't expecting the lock process to be a big deal, but unfortunately it looks a little strange

I assume this is wrong with the failed? I was also not expecting fastboot to say "RELOCKED". Can we get it to say "LOCKED"?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
i have never seen that before im pretty sure this has nothing to do with it but if u used the attached tool did u run as admin?
[HTC Rezound] racinwarrior:
it will always say relocked. no way around it
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
yeah sucks but thats what we have to deal with, but i hear in most cases they dont check the boot loader, dont quote me on that, just hear say.
[HTC Rezound] MajikUF:
Hope you are right, I just put the latest RUU on to mess with for a few days before I return it due to screen issues and ear piece problems. I love it other than that and can't wait to get another one. Ginger is a whole lot nicer without all this vzw bloat!
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
its a great phone i got rid of my evo 3d for it like it 1000x more i was pretty hesitant to flash a different rom, cause its still pretty new. but Cleanrom is pretty much stock as it gets with tweaks and de bloated im running that and loving it, since its a screen issue i highly doubt they will look at your bootloader. im prayin for ya lol
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
updated with new RUU
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
The noise in the ear buds are pretty much gone if you install the radio update. Not sure what screen issues you are having, but the noise issue is no longer an issue. :D
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
im assuming that 1.02.605.11 STOCK RUU EXE is the most updated one to date?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
No, the most up to date after the OTA is 2.xxxxx
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
1.02.605.11 STOCK RUU EXE is a typo its 2.02.605.11 thats the newest one just put one on accident

fixed the op, thanks for catching that
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
thanks! cross your fingers for me, I am about to attempt this RUU business
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
goodluck my man. need any help shoot me a pm.
[HTC Rezound] Romans8vs1:
I downloaded the file and ran it on my pc with the phone connected. I keep getting an error saying that I need a different version. I am currently on the new version but WiFi won't turn on. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
If you ultimately get charged for turning in a relocked phone, please report back.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I turned in a relocked phone that had started badly overheating with no problem probably two months ago.

I have never turned in a phone before, so I didn't know what to expect but I don't even think most VZ techs even know to check for that.

I have had plenty of friends over the years that have had phones replaced that had been custom ROM flashed etc and to my knowledge nobody I know has ever been charged back for one because it was modified.
[HTC Rezound] Pico:
thanks for making this easy for me, I was able to re-lock my rezound and get it updated last night
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
np, glad to hear it helped!
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Sorry to be the noob about this... but if I wanted to un-perma-root so that I could get the OTA, I would just simply:

1) relock

2) run the 1.605.2 exe file

3) Get the update from Verizon (OTA obviously)

Would this be right?

Also, does the phone need to be in fastboot when I run the exe?

Edit: I forgot... Will the OTA still update the firmware (radio, etc) after I run the exe?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
yes 1) relock 2) boot normaly onto your phone and run the 1.605.6 exe and follow the instructions it gives u 3) install the ota

you dont need to be in fastboot to run exe. just run it with your phone plugged i nand booted up normal and it will tell you what to do step by step.
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Sounds good... I'll give it a shot and report back...

---------- Post added 3rd February 2012 at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was 2nd February 2012 at 11:57 PM ----------

Well... The exe ran fine... Now it's just the OTA I seem to be having issues with.

When I first booted the phone (after the restore), I ran a check for update. It came back with the new OTA, but failed downloading. Now it just says "no new updates available." Weird...

Thanks for the help with restoring though. Maybe this OTA will get going someday.
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
reboot the phone and try again
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
I did... A few times... I'll let it sit for a couple hours and see if it will be pushed to me again.

Alternatively... Would the 2.02.605.11 exe install the update AND the firmware (radio)?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
yes sir it would. give that a try, at worst u might get a mainver error which is pretty easy to fix but thats worst case so give it a go
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:
Ok cool... I'll let it sit till tomorrow afternoon. If I don't get anything by then, I'll use your file.

Thank you again for all the help.

Edit: The link for the 2.02.605.11 exe file comes back as a 404 (Not found)
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
pulling rom.zip and making it a PH98IMG.zip to flash in hboot is the way to go for RUU's
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
i find the exe easier but everyone has their own preference i havent got around to pulling the zip from it. if someone wants to go ahead and do that upload it for me that would be cool, if not ill get it up asap
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
I'm sort of in an odd position. When I boot into fastboot, my phone asks if I want to update. If I select "No", it just says "Press Power to reboot" and sits there, not taking any fastboot commands to relock (the cmd prompt just says "<waiting for device>). If I select "Yes", it says the update was installed, and "Press Power to Reboot" and any command sent via the cmd prompt is met with <waiting for device> again. I unlocked using my computer, so drivers should not be the issue, right?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
sounds like your just booting to the bootloader and not fastboot, and its asking that because there is a PH98IMG.zip on the root of your sd card, delete that, reboot into bootloader and select fastboot. should be good to go then
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
That seems to have worked (duh), but my phone only boots into fastboot now. Is that normal??? I need to run the RUU now? What is the difference between the two versions you have provided links for?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
that means u dont have a rom installed im pretty sure, but the difference is the versions the 605.11 is the newest update, and the other is the one before. try running the exe it should still work without being booted into the rom(hopefully) lol
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
Well, I had a custom ROM installed (Nils' Business Gingersense 1.5), so I dunno what the deal is. Maybe relocking got rid of access to it. I am super new to this all, so I appreciate the prompt replies.

The RUU is chewing on it now. So as I understand it, after this is done, to go back to a custom ROM, I need to unlock through HTC, flash a new recovery, install superuser if oneclickroot does not work, then install a new ROM like normal. Sound right, or am I making it too complicated?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
All good I'm here to help. Once its done your 100% stock. If you were to want to root again you would unlock like before and try the one click root if you get a bunch of errors about permisions you'll need to flash amon ra recovery and then boot into the recovery once its done and under development menu hit the option to install Su / super user. You are then fully rooted again and you can flash like before
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
Didn't get any noticeable errors using oneclickroot, but it did not install Superuser for me, so I assumed that maybe root was not achieved. So I just flashed Amonra and did it the way you suggested. Worked like a charm. Your help saved me so much time. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
Anytime! Glad I could help and make the process easier
[HTC Rezound] sdlucky7:

So I just got home from the Verizon store. They are mailing me a replacement so it's probably a refurb. (hoping for a new one though since they are so new) Anyway, I have stock sense with the default background and he asked me "Are you using a 3rd party os?" I laughed and said this is as stock as it gets. He did the factory reinstall and saw that it was still having the earpiece issue so he called and got it all taken care of.

So, I should have a new phone by Wednesday that I will get to go through the htcdev unlock process again. It's like getting a new virgin! :P

i would suggest changing to a custom rom and witching mainver like cleanrom or something then once thats set and everything downgraded run one of the ruus

there are threads on how to do it, im not very knowledgeable with the process of changing mainver but i know that would be the proper way to do it, take a look around, dont want to give u wrong information
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I did this today and after I got done reflashing Amon Ra my next step was going to use the AR to root it again. I completely forgot about step however and restored a android BU I had made yesterday.

The BU restored just fine and I ended up with it rooted and custom ROMed exactly the same as before......
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
lol thats alittle self defeating
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Why so??

I ended up with the same setup I had before but with the new radio etc. which is what I wanted.

Does that not make sense?
[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
oh lol if you wanted to do it just to update your radio/mainver and stuff. then that works. thought you might have been trying to return to 100% stock and restored a backup on accident
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
LOL, gotcha.

That would have been pretty funny I gotta admit, but that's not what happened.

Cannot install RUU

After i successfully relocked the phone, I downloaded the ruu exe, ran it and followed the instructions. When it started to do its thing, it came up with an error saying that the usb was disconnected. I retried this a couple times. didnt work. Decided to extract the zip from the ruu, only to find that I cant seem to install it from hboot. I tried putting rom manager on and flasing into recovery, but it wont even let me do that. I come to a screen that looks like the phone is trying to update, then it gives a red "!" and sits there.

I have actually had the "!" problem ever since they tried to do the OTA update. I had kept the stock rom on the rezound, but when i tried to install the ota, i got that ! and have been getting it ever since.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I need to take my phone in because it has a cracked screen. I have gotten it almost all the way back to stock (besides the "relocked" in bootloader of course) EXCEPT that i cannot uninstall SU... not matter what i do!! i have tried root uninstall. I have tried to use root explorer to take out the APK then factory reset.. but it still shows up!!

HELP PLEASE!!!

[HTC Rezound] bradxnght:
No probelm :) lemme make sure I'm understanding this you use the ruu and it doesn't completly restore and u get stuck in stock recovery with a red ! And when you boot onto the phone you still have Su? Did you get the ruu to complete ?

[ Sent from my HTC Rezound ]
[HTC Rezound] jameswalkerrotc:
Not exactly. I try to run the ruu, but it never completes. As soon as it tries to load into bootloader, my phone restarts and the ruu program comes up with the error saying that my phone is not connected via usb. And actually at this point, it is just sitting on a black htc logo screen. The ! happens whenever i try to 1)install the OTA update 2)try to boot into recovery from hboot 3)try to get into recovery via rom manager.

I am absolutely stuck, because i cannot seem to install any roms, and cannot get superuser off of my phone, even after a memory wipe and factory reset.

thanks

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

oh and another thing, I CAN temporarily get SU off my phone, but as soon as my phone restarts, it is back on it. Given why i need to take my phone as close to stock as possible, this will not work. Because when asurion gets their hands on my phone, theyre going to see the SU.. and thats no bueno.

is ur phone on charging only when u connect it

i honestly have no idea what is happening besides maybe the fastboot drivers not ebing installed because when it gets to there it doesnt recognize the device as being connected anymore, but im assuming you used this computer to root it?
