[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddoublee:
Is your phone rooted?

Do you have ClockWorkMod?

A quick solution would be to back up all your contacts and apps and clear the cache/factory reset through ClockWorkMod restore everything and see if you still get the ads pushed.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
So as some of us should know HTC Legend can now be Hboot unlocked and can gain S-off. Now, a question for some of you phone nerds out there, what benefits does having S-off actually give you, other than running adblocking applications. I've been thinking about unlocking my bootloader to get S-off but heard that it is an irreversible method, so I need to make sure if it is worth it or not.

-cheers
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
That's a good question, what can one do with on S-off legend that you can't do with the new unlocked bootloader. Except return under warranty.

BTW HTC knows we unlocked our phone, that is why we need to provide a device token.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkInDaPark:
If I know correct, S-OFFing is a unlocking procedure that gives access to /radio and simlock.

So, unlocked bootloader gives every access except /radio and simlock. To get these you'd have to S-OFF, which is impossible on 1.02.0000 (?)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepijn499:
He actually wants to know the benefits of unlocking his bootloader through the HTC-way.

Benefits include being able to flash a recovery (No more fakeflash recovery booting needed)

And alter animations/host file/everything else that lives in /system/. Apps like metamorph need this. All in all it's a pretty easy procedure, and there's little reason not to do it, especially if your warranty has expired.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
Well I won't be doing it anytime sooner since my 2 year contract isn't even halfway yet. Cheers for the input.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rivssjr89:
Question: Does anyone know how to enable ad hoc connectivity. Ive tried two apps off the market on my rooted tab, but the only thing that happens is i loose wifi and it cant scan networks at all. Im trying to use my gs2 teather hot spot on my tab 7.7 wifi only model. Any suggestions anyone?

p.s. both my tablet and phone are rooted.:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
You don't need any apps for that. Turn on the hot spot feature on your SGS2, then use Wi-Fi setting on your tab to connect to it like any other Wi-Fi connection.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rivssjr89:
The thing is i dont pay for the hot spot feature on my phone. So i rooted my phone to get it for free but it gives out ad hoc wifi. My macbook can find the signal, but for some reason galaxy tablets dont.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] got556:
Get the app wifi adhoc enabler.

I had to do this for my Galaxy Note. My Razr on the stock VZW hotspot would send out an infrastructure wifi signal but after rooting and rom'ing it, it now only sends out adhoc signals.

You can try also to edit the wpa_supplicant file but on my Note the wifi adhoc enabler app worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rivssjr89:
i tried that but it didnt work. After i restarted the wifi it couldnt detect anything and it would read error. Unless im doing something wrong. Thanks for answering :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] got556:
maybe reboot and try again. I'll play around with trying to find adhoc signals when mine comes in on Wednesday. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] furius:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelerikz:
Does anyone knows how to remove the Softbank opening logo? I tried to install softbank roms coming.from stock retail rom (360) then when I was trying to revert to my 360 nandroid it was succesfully reverted but the softbank logo appears before the dell logo that swirl. I also tried to factory reset, install rom by flashing stock recovery and stock pkg but still the softbank logo is still pesent.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
You need to reinstall 360 first
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelerikz:
So I need to flash the stock recovery 360 and then the stock pkg of 360 too?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Yea, that's how the logo gets changed. It's not safe to change it manually so the right way is to reflash with the pkg
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelerikz:
Flashed the 360 recovery and 360 pkg but still softbank logo is present. Its odd.
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
So HTC are announcing four new smartphones at the end of this month.

I really want a ChaCha but the small memory and the fact it'll probably never get ICS are holding me back.

Do you think one of HTC's new phones will be an updated ChaCha? Even if it's just another low-end phone with a similar form factor? If I get one, it'd be replacing a BlackBerry so the touchscreen and keyboard is perfect for me, I just wish HTC would care about it a bit more.

So do you think HTC will bother upgrading the ChaCha? It's been around for a while now and prices have dropped quite a bit, so I'm hopeful they'll do a new one with slightly bumped up specs and ICS.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Bigger screen is main thing that would tempt me!

sent usin' tapatalk innit.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Screen is ok-ish..

More internal space + better battery :D
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
More memory and ICS is good enough for me, do you think it'll actually happen though? :o
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
I've seen new details and it seems the chances of a new ChaCha are basically non-existent, so my next question is, should I order one now or wait until after the new HTCs come out so the prices drop? Or has it already hit rock bottom at £119 anyway?
[HTC ChaCha] weeo:
I highly doubt it. I think it wasn't HTCs best phone. And not what they're recognised for
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
Honestly I think it's very underrated, it's a great BlackBerry competitor, they just need to put more effort into it.
[HTC ChaCha] weeo:
Yeah. Plus people looking for a BlackBerry styled phone may aswell get the BlackBerry. I personally think the ChaCha isn't the greatest looker and neither in specs wise
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
I have a BlackBerry at the moment but it's rubbish. I do, however, like the form factor and keyboard, and would very much like an Android phone with those features. If HTC brought out a new phone with a QWERTY, the classic "bar phone" form factor, and better specs than the ChaCha, it'd be perfect as far as I'm concerned.
[HTC ChaCha] evozero:
Still have 3 months before I can change my phone; currently using a X10 Mini Pro.

Really would like a Mark II ChaCha with better camera and more built-in memory. The alternative for me is a Xperia Pro, but I prefer a candybar QWERTY...

Is there a way for us to petition HTC? I am tired of all the touchscreen-only phones in the market :(
[HTC ChaCha] weeo:
Yeah. I know BlackBerry are rubbish. But I know lots of people who have them, 91% of students in my school have BB. 5% have iPhones and like literally 5 people have Androids. And 3 are my friends. So from where I'm coming from, and like all sxhools in uk, BlackBerry is more popular than the Android. So I think majority of the population will buy a blackberry.
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
BlackBerries are starting to lose their popularity a bit now I think. I'm seeing more iPhones and Androids every year. I even know a guy who's got a Windows Phone 7 phone.

Honestly I think a ChaCha with decent specs would be a brilliant device and would lure people away from BlackBerries.
[HTC ChaCha] weeo:
We shall wait and speculate. I hope the next ChaCha will look nice.
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
i don't feel comfortable with touch screens, i just changed my wildfire for a chacha.

I think also, i missed a trackpad!

I always fear that someday, the screen breaks, even if a gorilla is blitzed in!
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Pfah... I wonder why everyone calls this "Blackberry-Style".

I like this type of phone, I had a Palm Treo 600 that time where no one knew about Blackberry, and I had a Nokia E71 afterwards. But I won't by any Blackberry, because their Keyboards are worse than those of Nokia, Palm or HTC. And the OS also isn't good, but maybe QNX will make it better. But I heared that they don't have many options for synchronizing the device with the computer.
[HTC ChaCha] weeo:
Ummm okay. Well now people are getting BlackBerry's, in the UK, BlackBerry are popular. That is what I was saying.
[HTC ChaCha] gothickah0:
I'm using chacha currently, and it's very good compare to bb. Because still you can backup your contact via google,and it have thousand upon million free apps. With 512 RAm & same amount of ROM, it run smoothly with beautiful android sense UI..go on try it, you wouldn't regret it. Oh, and the display is crisp clear with the gorilla glass.
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
Yeah I've used the phone and a friend of mine owns one and tells me it's good, I'm just waiting to see if there's a new version being announced next week or not. If not, I'll probably buy one. If so, I'll wait for the new one.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Really? Here in Europe you only hear that BB is in trouble and losing market shares rapidly.
[HTC ChaCha] Nicraz:
I agree competely. I personally just ditched my BlackBerry Pearl 9100 for the HTC Status aka ChaCha. I like it way better.... except for the low internal memory. I just managed to complete the root but I'm still learning (I'm very new with Android) and just need to partition the SD card so I can enable a2sd.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
However, HTC needs to customize the software so that it better fits to the Chacha.

For example: When adding an appointment to the calender I should be able to use the keys instead of having to select the time on the touchscreen.

Or: When I want to use the Timer, you can clearly see that the clock wasn't adapted for the Chacha. You don't even notice that there is a Timer until you click on some other item in the list.

Plus there are some bugs when trying to dial without needing the touch screen. If you select your first search result with the cursor keys and press enter the phone will just dial some strange number sometimes.
[HTC ChaCha] jessv3:
Blackberry sales in Australia are on a huge decline, mostly becasue they havent kept up with the market, why would any company spend thousands on a blackberry server when their exchange server is capable of pushing emails through active sync for free? BB have still not included active sync for free on their handsets despite Nokia, android and apple have included it for a number of years now.

like others I have made the progression from Palm treo 600> 650 > Nokia e71 > Now to a desire Z, the desire z is a great phone. It has the full size qwerty yet doesn't skimp on the features, sure its a little chunky but you get use to it and I've seen handsets go quite cheap on eBay.

I consdered buying a chacha but the biggest turn off for me was that Facebook button, it might appeal to the young buyers but for people who want to use it as a business phone it's just embarrassing.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
It doesn't even light up! On my phone its for the camera now.

The fb button isn't the first thing people comment on as they wave their iphones at me at work either!

I had a desire z when they were £200 sim free and took it back to stay with the chacha. The z was just too big .....

Phone info: rooted, stock, s-off, CWM 5.0.2.7, BusyBox 1.17.1, ES File Explorer

In a nutshell, my phone's display died after a bit of condensation appeared under the glass. I have no idea how the moisture happened, as I've been babying this phone since my 1/7 purchase, and I haven't dunked the phone in water or exposed it to steam. Had it tucked in an inside coat pocket while going for a walk, discovered condensation spots later that evening (and no, I don't sweat like a horse, either). Screen began flickering over next four days, requiring brightness to be turned up to max, but otherwise operated normally--until day five, when the display went out completely. Liquid indicator under the battery is pure white, btw.

So, after discussion with HTC Warranty and Repair, my phone will be shipped off to be fixed, hopefully, under warranty, and I won't get dinged for out-of-warranty repair since this is a moisture issue (albeit one I'm baffled as to the cause).

What I'd like to know is what to expect upon return of my repaired phone. I know the HTC tech's will likely be wiping all data, and this means I'll have to reroot, correct? I have my most recent Nandroid backup on both my PC and my SD card, so I can restore to that, but I wasn't clear about the rerooting end of things.

Any experiences from others who have gone through the warranty repair process would be appreciated.

Many Thanks --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Well I sent my 3G Slide in to get the camera lens cover and keyboard fixed. I had the old hboot and flashed back to stock with s=on. They fixed the 2 issues and updated my phone to the Froyo OTA with the new hboot.

It isn't unrealistic to think the same would happen. So the Fabulous work the guys in the dev forum will be more appreciated once the hboot issue is solved.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
Actually, I just got back my phone from repair. hboot was 1.44.007 the one that is hackable.

It's essentially a roll of dice right now, because the OTA isn't in full effect yet. Maybe you can make a special request that they don't restore your phone (although that's usually the first thing they do) or tell them that you don't want the latest OTA
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
That pretty much answers my question--I'll have to go through the process once more for root once I get it back.

As far as I've been able to glean from the HTC and T-Mobile forums, the OTA is still on hold due to error troubleshooting, so I doubt that will be applied until all the bugs have been squashed. In fact, there's no word that the update will be ready this month, so I'm fairly confident the hboot will still be 1.44.007.

Thanks for the replies --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yea - I sent one in to be serviced and got it back as it went out (fixed though) and still had s-off 1.44.0007 hboot.

I restored everything else to stock retail launch before sending it in.

They told me on the phone before I shipped it that if they chose not to repair i'd get charged. If there was evidence of tampering it was their option to not do anything to it.

I was also told that it would be flashed to their current software as the last thing before it left the factory.

I imagine it's up to the tech to decide if they want to work on it if it comes in with s-off - but now we have a guide for how to get s-on so this should no longer be a concern - it's in dev here.

Also, my theory was that the update being on hold was why I got it back with the software I sent it out on - and seems to be what everyone else thinks too.

Ebay... Amazon... you can easily find a replacement cable. If you get the USB type cable you can even use the charger that came with your phones (USB types) but it might take for ever to charge since phone chargers output .5A to 1A... You will need a charger that outputs 2.1A for speedier charge.
[Dell Streak 7] texasbluesplayer:
I just recently purchased an origilal charger for my Streak 7 from Ebay. The name of the company was cellular_emporium and the description was: TMOBILE OEM HOME CHARGER + DATA CABLE DELL STREAK 7 STREAK 5 WoW!

Make sure the one you buy says OEM because those are the ones with higher charging capability. All the other chargers I've seen out there that are copies of the original are only 0.5A output but the OEM I have says 1.0A output. That's twice the output. The charger came with the 30pin cable that plugs into the Streak 7 and the other end is a USB that plugs into the charger head unit.

I paid $11 for it with free shipping and it got to my house in about 3 days.

Hope that helps. I know I had a hard time deciding which one since they all say they are compatible.

Charger

Make sure that the charger supplies an output of 5volts and 2amps.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
The OEM power supply is 2A but the S7 never draws that much, I've measured it. It never draws more than 1.3A. Not sure what the S7 looks at but I'm guessing that it looks at voltage and if it drops, it won't charge. You can use a 1A power supply "sometimes" by booting up the S7 first and than plugging it in as it uses more current at boot up time.

IIRC with the S7 OFF, it charges at around 960mA max and that drops off as it reaches a full charge.

It was a long time before I noticed that no matter what your using the S7 stops charging during a good part of the boot up time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomekks:
Hello!

I know this issue has been here already but thought I'd bring it up once more.

I am in love with my andorid phone so much that I put ICS on it and it's awesome!

The thing that ruins the great experience [ as for many others ] are the low-res contact pictures from Google sync.

The thing that I want is this: Sync all my contacts with HQ pics with Google [ don't we all ].

The alternatives of whom I know is syncing facebook pictures with existing Google contacts. Well.. For some reason this doesn't work for me as I don't need ALL facebook contacts in my phone. I need only the Google contacts. And the pics synced to the phone from FB are still in low-res [ is this how it's supposed to be? ].

So, what I want is my google contacts with high quality pictures.

I tried merging facebook contacts with google contacts using Google Contact Sync application [ http://heartofangel.com/google-contact-sync/ ] and it did the work great. Only again, the low-res, pixelated pictures jump out.

I spent the last two and a half hours searching for a fix, I did not find any that would be automated. Manually setting pictures is not an option as I frequently flash ROM's.

If not Google, is there any alternative syncing service that could provide my contacts with High Quality pictures? I'm even willing to merge to another service.

Or any idea why Google doesn't just do the HQ pics?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Just noticed that some 5 contacts have a descent quality picture. Checked many contacts and there is no difference in quality of their profile pics. What the hell?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GladiatoRiley:
Well you could individually take a photo with your phone and make it the contact pic or download a pic off Facebook and link it to the contact on the phone individually.

I understand this may take time, but I am not aware of any alternatives.

Edit: HTC links contact pics to Facebook automatically at a high quality
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomekks:
I have a HTC Sensation with Virtuous Inquisition 3.1.0b3 ROM.

Well, yes. It saves the HQ pictures but then I have ALL of the Facebook contacts and frankly I don't need all of them in my phone app..

Manually setting pictures would be a real pain because everytime I flash a different ROM or reflash this one, I would have to do all of that again.

Maybe any app or piece of software for Windows that could do this autmatically?

Like, for an example, sync android contacts to the computer, in that programm I just set all the data, including pictures, and sync those with the phone after every flash?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GladiatoRiley:
U could use a Sense ROM that links it... In Facebook sync options just click "Sync with Existing" and it only does the ones already in Ur contacts
