no quick pannel under the settings menu. could it be that i lost it when i flashed entropy's latest kernel? if thats the case, thats all my bad. but how do i use the apk u listed?

Something may be wrong, but it sounds specific to you. I just tried recording and watching a video with no issues. But mx player is an awesome player for movies that don't have the proper codecs for sure.

Is there a way to execute a nandroid backup to save directly to a folder on a computer without saving it first in the sdcard folder on the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i know of ADB

http://geekyouup.blogspot.com/2011/12/android-40-adb-backup-restore.html

http://jonwestfall.com/2009/08/backup-restore-android-apps-using-adb/

you can check for more info on this if you do 'adb', read the part about backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks, but that's not really what I'm looking for. I basically want to do a nandroid backup, but I don't want to have to clear my /sdcard every time in order to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I'm not sure I follow you: doing a nandroid backup requires you to delete /data/media?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
My 16GB of internal memory is about 14-15GB full. If I want to do a nandroid backup via CWM, it needs about 2-3GB of free space on /sdcard. Thus, I have to free up about 1-2GB if I want to do it. Now, if somehow I can use CWM or some script to do a nandroid and have it saved directly to my PC, I would not have to free up space on my device. Understand?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Sure.

CWM doesn't backup /data/media, correct?

ADB would allow you to backup all of that, even app data. You can even use 'dd' to backup full partitions/folders, not sure if you can use dd over adb shell though.

Anyways, can't think of anything else right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Perhaps use OTG storage and a Symlink?

If you linked /sdcard/clockworkmod to the OTG it should write direct to your mounted stick...

Target and source would both have to be ext...

Edit: You would probably have to link /data/media/clockworkmod, but you know what I mean...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Hmmm... it would be good if we could use dd over adb, but I'm not sure you could specify a folder on your PC as the destination.

Thanks. That would probably work. Ideally though, I would be able to do it with the target being fat/fat32, but I'm not sure that would be possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
You would probably need a modified recovery?

Other phones write to fat on the sd, but since our virtual sd is ext I'm not sure recovery supports fat (though I suspect Koush writes all his recoveries along the same lines, and modifies as little as possible). Either way, I'm pretty sure symlinking doesn't support fat...

I took a look at Chainfires Stick Mount thread, and he states specifically that it doesn't support ext. He may be a good source though, and he's pretty responsive...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Yeah, that was the flaw in the whole thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Interested in the outcome. OTG and b/u to "external sd" sounds promising, and this thread answers a question I'd been wondering about, is it possible to b/u via adb and NOT have the nandroid saved on the "internal sd" and to the PC instead and then push it to the phone so I have a b/u of my b/u.

Edit: damnit, should've read the last 2 posts, back to the drawing board.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landstander:
I'm very interested in finding a way to do this as well. I'd really like to encrypt my phone's storage, but that's somewhat impractical at present... you lose the ability to take nandroid backups, not to mention flashing zips, unless you're willing to perform a full userdata reset first.

I keep hoping that CockworkMod recovery will gain support for encrypted storage in future. Sadly, to date I've been unable to get a response from the developer... I guess it's anyone's guess at present.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Do you have busybox installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
And which one is the block device that you want to backup? It is under /dev/block
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not sure where you are going with this, but anyway, as I had mentioned, I want to do an nandroid backup, so I would want:

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system

and

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata

but for the second, I don't want the entire thing, I want it to skip /data/media, just like a nandroid does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
OK, about backing up system, here we go. About doing the same with userdata and skipping /data/media, we'll discuss this later.

So, this is how to backup the system partition to your windows / linux / mac /BSD system using ADB, and having a rooted phone with BusyBox Pro installed.

1) Put the phone in ADB mode so you can run busybox commands there and so android is not running.

2) Install on windows Filezilla Server, create a user with no password (in this case will be scandiun), set the home dir with full permissions and with enough free space, and set timeouts to 0. Set port to 40 for example. Start the server.

3) run via adb the following commands in order:

su

cd /data

mkfifo myfifo

ftpput -v -u scandiun -P 40 COMPUTER_IP p11.img myfifo &

dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system of=myfifo bs=512

jobs

fg 1

4) Check that you receive the files on your computer

5) Mount the img with DiskInternals Linux Reader and check its contents.

Tips:

- Fifos only can be made on linux native filesystems, for example on a FAT partition is not possible.

- Reading from a partition does not modify it.

- The bs should be adjusted to the partition block size.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redss55:
I bought a new EVO 3d that suffered severe and fatal stability issues due to the carrier IQ packages. I bought it from a small business that activates various android phones onto the platinumtel (a cheap Sprint mvno) plan. I was very bewildered that my evo was so unstable while other EVO 3d users did not have such severe issues. The way I fixed the issues was to root it and install a custom rom (found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285975) which had the carrier IQ packages removed.

Then I read Carrier IQ company's response to TrevE's published findings (http://www.carrieriq.com/company/PR.20111212.pdf) and it dawned on me what may have been my problem.

I suspect that the technician who activated my EVO with platinumtel probably sent me the EVO with the debug mode enabled, whereas it is not supposed to be enabled when the consumer receives it.

My questions:

1) Did I really need to install a custom rom to fix the stability issues? Or would it have been sufficient to simply remove the relevant packages (system/app/HtcIQAgent.apk etc) via the adb shell on the rooted phone?

2) I'd like to determine if it was really the case that my phone was in the debug mode referenced on page 8 of the above reference pdf document published by Carrier IQ.

3) How do I determine if my phone still has that debug mode enabled?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:

Hey guys!

Is there a way we can disable the 4G connection and only use 3G? Any help that you guys can as provide will be greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Shaliuno:
There is no 4G in Atrix2. Is just a marketing ATT does.

4G = 3G
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
4G LTE = LTE (our phone doesn't support it)

4G = 3G + extra stuff to be better... but still techically 4G as it's AT&T's 4th generation of technology

3G = 3G

But I don't think that there's a way you can disable "4G" and only use 3G... you can disable 3G/4G and only use 2G though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
ATRIX 2 supports 21mbit hspa+ that's what they call 4G. 3g is really just slower versions of hspa+ for us. Post above is correct about LTE. LTE is better than hspa+ also.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
my wifes iphone 4 must suck then.

hers is a "3g" and gets about 1.25 mbps

my atrix 2 4G gets 4.45 mbps

i think 4g is a bunch faster than 3g.....

or its just that the iphone a generally crap.:rolleyes:

take your pick i suppose.:p
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Well it's both really ;).

But our phone is about as fast as you can get on AT&T's network without using LTE. The OG Atrix also was "4G" but it was only 14.x mb/sec while our A2's radio supports up to 21.x mb/sec (or something around there). The iPhone X's only support 3G.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowenby:
Not too sure what you guys are meaning when you say better....

I was interested in the differences a while back and after researching around quite a bit, found that the speeds really depended on the phone's programming more so than whether it was LTE or HSPA+.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
LTE has higher bandwidth, and is less populated. HSPA+ can go up to 21mbit, yes, (which is less than LTE) BUT most AT&T HSPA+ deployments are 7mbit or 14mbit.

HSPA+ users typically see ~4-5mbit or so, maybe up to 7mbit on a 14.4mbit cell, but LTE users typically can see 9-11mbit+.

The best speedtest I have ever gotten on my phone was in the 5mbit range. SLC only has 7mbit HSPA+ from what I can tell, and since AT&T is going to LTE, it appears they wont be upgrading the HSPA+ network any more.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
you're lucky. Around my area all you can get is 2-3 mbs.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Thats what I usually get too, but if I am right near a cell tower I can get the ~5mbit speeds.
[Motorola Atrix 2] darthstewie:
Yeah, "4G" is actually HSPA+, which AT&T actually was going to call 3G+. The 4G crap came around because T-Mobile marketed it that way and if AT&T stuck with 3G+ they took the risk of people thinking T-Mobile was faster and losing customers. LTE was what they planned to call 4G.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Alperon:
I feel as if their labeling of 4g was a bit deceiving as well but its understandable if it was meant to keep up with TMobile because of all the confusion between 4g and 4g lte.

The good news is that I don't believe our 4g is as battery-consuming as 4g lte, its probably about the same as regular 3g.

If you're wanting to limit it to 2g though there is a way to do it even though the menu is left out from our 'Settings'. Use anycut to get to network settings directly and choose GSM only.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ajfink:
At least T-Mobile's HSPA+ is significantly faster than "3G" - not an entirely undeserved title for them. ATT...not so much.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeis:
OK I am considering making a custom launcher as every single launcher does that I am not terribly big on more on that in a moment.

Now before people say, since this will be my first app of sorts, "Start small" or "Don't jump straight into making a launcher" I'm not. I am fiddling with making various simple things and I am working my way up.

Now that that's out of the way back to my focus...

The single thing I don't like about what launcher are doing are the fact they stretch the CRAP out of widgets when switching between landscape and portrait depending on where you set it up first. I have a 7in tablet so it has a larger screen than a phone so it stretches widgets a good deal.

Now before I start this endeavor of creating a launcher that effectively rotates widgets well and doesn't stretch them is this possible? Or is Android built in a manner that doesn't allow this?

Also if this is in the wrong place my apologies and feel free to move it to it's correct place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waddle:
It would be possible, but it would be very hard for someone inexperienced like you to make a launcher that does that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zadeis:
Well damn... But seriously the fact widgets get so stretched is my only pet peeve about this tablet. I keep it locked in landscape to alleviate this but in the end it's inconvenient...

I talked to the ADW launcher dev and he said he has various things planned to help with the stretching widgets problem but that was over 2 months ago...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GladiatoRiley:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmbomb:
Richdog.. where are the settings for screebl ..

And how can you tell if other apps are overwriting the settings?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Richdog:
Screebl is a prpgram, thus the settings are obviously within the program if you have it installed.

As for being able to tell whether something is overriding the tablet settings... well, if you change the tablet setting and it doesnt stick then thats a good sign.

Take a look at what you have installed and work it out. :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Yes, they do help.

Though the 'Gorilla Glass' screen on our phone is resistant to chips and scratches, that doesn't mean degradation doesn't occur over time. The purpose of scratch-resistant screens like ours is that the effects are minimized, but it still does occur through small impacts, keys in a pocket, grit on fingers, and so on. Adding a screen protector offers a significant extra level of protection.

It definitely helps. Even if you do keep it for two years (like most people). If it looks like crap no is going to want it or your going to get less for it. Plus they are what $2 including shipping? Definitely worth the money.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chund3r:
I bought a zagg shield when I got my Inspire, it served its purpose (rather it needed to or not with the gorilla glass). But it eventually collected so much dirt+dust I decided to take it off. I never seen such a beautiful display before on my phone! It was clearer, and the colors were more vibrant. Plus the screen is a lot more "smooth" and a tad bit more responsive without the protector on. Perhaps other brands are better, but I've been screen protector free for about 3 months now without any issues! (Knocks on wood!)
