Rest In Peace Whitney Houston, she was a true legend despite her drug and alcohol addiction, first coloured female artist to break MTV, 6 time grammy winner and more.

Grew up listening to her music.

Oh and those saying why should we care and that well sure we didn't personally know her but she was an inspiration too many and that counts.

I am in Vegas this weekend and tonight they turned off all the lights on Fremont and turned the LED canopy into a tribute. Showed pictures and played all her hit songs. Everyone in old downtown Vegas stopped to watch. Very cool.

While I feel for her family and friends, knowing how a loss like this makes them feel, I have to agree with that above statement.

It did bring a smile to my face though about something I never though about at the time. My Dad used to ring a local radio show quite regularly and became quite friendly with the DJ. When my Dad passed away, the DJ heard about it and did mention him and pay his respect over the air, and I like that.

When my Dad died, it was on the radio.

Thanks Bernie :)

[Off-topic] KCRic:
While I respect her for her music and I admit, she was definitely a start among musicians. She was a run-of-the mill crackhead. We don't cry, say RIP, or frankly give a damn when yet another person on the streets who was shunned from society dies due to an number of reasons. "They made their choice" is what we say, or "good, one less we have to deal with". How about "one less welfare check to take out of my hard earned money". What about the husband who dies saving his family from two armed men? Or the soldier who gives his life to save 10 others? Did anybody create a "RIP Amy Winehouse" thread? Nope.

But when you're rich and famous there's no way you can be compared to generic druggie. You're given commendations just for death alone - not for what you actually did as a person. Sing a few good songs, forget everything else because you're a saint for giving us a few good songs. What did she ever do for people outside of making a CD? I'll miss the talent, not the person.

This isn't MJ where they may or may not have done something bad - she WAS a druggie. At least MJ contributed to society in some ways.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
A question to those who have upgraded to 2.3 using HTC's official upgrade.

Does the phone have less internal memory available after the update?

I mean I'm already a bit squeezed for space, will this only be worse if i upgrade to 2.3?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
yes, but depending on what apps you install, apps2sd is better, moving more of *some* apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
I don't quite understand what you are suggestion.

Obviously I move everything to sd if i can - but noticeably Googles own bloatware (like the market) can't and refuse to budge.

I'm just worried I'd end up with even less internal space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
A quick lesson.

The *main* partitions on the NAND memory are:

/system (where the ROM and all its apps go)

/cache (where market downloads are stored whilst downloading)

/data (where all user apps, data and settings are stored - this is refered to as "Internal Storage"

What is in /system/app (google maps etc) is NOT counting towards your "Internal storage" in /data. It is irrelevant if you can move them or not.

"move to sd" in Android is better in 2.3 than 2.2.

In 2.2, "move to sd" moves /data/app/whatever.apk to /sdcard/.android_secure, making more space available in /data

in 2.3, "move to sd" moves the same as above AND ALSO /data/data/whatever/lib.

However, NOT ALL apps have /lib. So yes, after 2.3, it takes more of the space up in /data with settings storage etc, but depending on what apps you have, you will compensate by being able to move app libs as well as the apks.

Hope this clarifies.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Ah, thanks rootSU - that does clarify it.

So what HTC's program does is making a larger "system" partition?

Do you know where the phone stores received/sent SMS messages? Do they go "data"?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No system stays the same size at 250MB. It just stores more information in /data.

Sms is /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Hm, I read somewhere they said they had to repartition the internal memory which is why it couldn't be an over the air update.

Thanks. So I guess its really a bad idea to save your messages if it keeps eating away of your memory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nope. They had to remove stuff to make it fit. They were not entirely happy with their finished product so released it as a dev-only release

SMS are really small. I personally back all my sms up to gmail (Label) using sms backup+
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Really? I know they removed things, but I made note of the repartitioning comment because, hence why I asked if there was less memory available.

What I heard was that it was necessary to run a program on the PC and they thought most people couldn't figure it out.

Do you think there is a reason to upgrade or not to upgrade to this?

(i'm not going to root eiter way)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnasco:
I did upgrade to the official 2.3 and the result was that the phone got slower. With 2.2 I was able to watch 720p videos on youtube (using the browser, not the app) and sometimes even 1080p. But after the upgrade 720p got very laggy. So, just skip upgrading and root your phone. There are plenty of awesome roms over here!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There was a comment in a thread asking why they couldn't repartition in the update. Someone replied it wasnt possible and I said that it probably would be but there was no way it would be done. Not sure if thats what you're refering to, but they definitely did not repartiton the NAND. They removed apps and wallpapers to get it to fit in the 250MB /system partition

Its called an RUU. Rom Upgrade utility. Many of tehse are available for HTC phones. You can get full ROM's in RUU format or parts of in OTA updates. They usually release both, but they simply didnt other with OTA for this they didnt want to release it. They only continued due to pressure from the consumer base.

Generally 2.3 GB is a faster and better OS than 2.2. That said, I rooted at 2.1 and have not had a stock sense ROM since my first 2.2 ROM nearly a year and a half ago (if not longer, I forget). I'm not really in a position to comment on how good stock 2.3 is or if you are likely to have video playback issues as mentioned above. I can only really talk to you about root, which you said you will not do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Griff1324:
My name is Chris and I am a noob :o

I bought a used Galazy S2 Epic 4G Touch. As it turned out the phone was rooted and was running the Starburst rom. All day today I have spent reading about and trying to put this phone back to the stock firmware from sprint. I have tried the one-click odin installers and tried using odin and loading the PDA manually. Each and eveytime it fails on the recovery.bin. Can someone please help this noob out?

The phone will no longer boot up into the OS and states there was an issue with the firmware. However, I can boot into the download mode and the phone is recognized by odin. I have tried using a different USB cord, different USB ports, different computer running Windows XP....all with no luck. I would greatly appreciate any and all help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Whenever you interrupt an ODIN flash it will give you that message until you get a clean flash of something. Sometimes you need a USB jig to get back into ODIN D/L mode, but it seems you are saying you already can get there.

Your flash memory is probably defective for the recovery.bin partition. It actually isn't used. Try flashing individually the modem, kernel, and ROM. If you look at the 2nd post of the ODIN One-Click posts, the individual tar files are provided.

I installed the modem, kernal and rom individually and the phone is working! Thank you so much. Is there anything else that I need to do to the phone to get it back to factory or is this it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you want you can do a ##786# reset. This will clear your android user data and clear NVRAM. Your phone will reprovision itself at next boot. If the previous owner messed with the NVRAM though it might not always reset properly though.

If your phone is otherwise working now (ie provisioned) then I wouldn't bother clearing NVRAM and instead would just do a wipe data/factory reset from Recovery or do it from Privacy->Reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
Flash a stock rom with efs clear checked in odin. This will reset the phone and OTA activate. Plus it will reset anything the previous user may have done with the nvram.

[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Ok first, did you successfully upgrade the firmware with 3.24? If so, before flashing any roms, you need to make sure you have deleted the PG5IMG file from your sd card before flashing and rebooting any roms.

Try taking out your sd card and see if it boots up after flashing a rom.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerekHaltom:
Okay, so I am looking around, I find a thread that says how to root my Xperia Play. Awesome. I click it, but it says it is outdated, to go to a different thread. Awesome. Then it lists a link to a file I need, so I click that, and it turns out this multiupload.com link don't work. I try to go to multiupload.com and it doesn't work.

So I kick around a bit, find another thread, how to specifically unlock my R800x, and it lists files from multiupload.com as well, as well as having instructions that are "intentionally vague".

Not real sure where to go here. Last phone I rooted was an HTC Fuze, and I managed that pretty well without any troubles. This looks to be a whole new ball of wax though, and seems to be a sore spot or something with some people. So, in a nutshell, can anyone direct me to where I need to go to find out how to do this? Does anyone have any idea where I can find some instructions that maybe aren't intentionally vague, or have the files needed actually available? I get that this thing has been out for awhile, but I would like to trim some of the fat off of it.

As always, thanks for any help, advice, links, etc... that anyone would care to offer.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gargantuantua:
Hai,

Up until recently my Evo 4G connected to my computer with a USB data cable fine to both of my Win 7 x64 computers. Not to long ago I flashed a rom of MIUI (can't remember which), and my data cable stopped working. Sense then I have bought a new cord, flashed new roms, installed drivers (I didn't see x64 ones), uninstalled/reinstalled HTC Synch. Nothing works.

When I plug in the phone Windows makes the usb connect "ding" noise, then a pop up says the usb device could not be identified. If I wiggle the cord Windows makes the ding noise making me think the phone is only partially connecting? When I connect it nothing pops up on the phone itself. The charge light only comes on.

What should I do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Hey,

Try booting into the bootloader and mount usb or toggle usb depending on your recovery and that should fix the problem if not, it might be an issue with MIUI! It has been giving me trouble when I tried to flash it so I couldnt use it, but many times between roms and kernals sometimes you will loose usb and it isnt the cable! try flashing a new rom and let me know how it goes!

stevo!

I am glad you were able to mount it, and as long as it is reading i really dont think its the cord.

Anyone know how to ADB Push / Pull in Terminal Emulator?

And any extra knowledge with terminal emulator? Like mounting sdcard because I am really frustrated with trying to mount my SDCARD! lol :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
You can't use ADB in a terminal emulator on the phone. It's meant to be run from a computer with either Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

An unsecure boot.img will provide you with the possibility of using the adb remount command.

The SD card can be in three different modes (the expressions used here aren't the official ones): "phone mounted", "USB mass storage mounted" or unmounted.

"Phone mounted": accessible from the phone's ROM, or through adb push and pull, as /sdcard/

"USB Mass Storage mounted": the SD card behaves like any other mass storage device, accessible solely from the OS that has mounted it. The Android OS can't access it in that mode. You need to properly unmount the card from the computer first to avoid possible corruption, then toggle mass storage off so that the phone can remount the card for itself.

Unmounted is only used to remove the card while the phone is on, again, to avoid errors and corruption. Not a good idea if you're using /sd-ext hacks like Darktremor apps2sd or s2e.
