[Acer Iconia A500] keejoonc:
Guys,

I have a A501 32GB 3G model and I think my micro USB port might be broken.

I can't remember when but at some point, my computer stopped recognising my A501 when I connect to it via micro USB. For awhile I thought it might the custom ICS rom's fault as the normal USB port wouldn't work either, but when I reverted back to Honeycomb this week I noticed the normal USB would work, but my PC still couldn't recognise the tablet when connected via micro USB.

Is there any way to test the port? I don't even have a spare cable I can try to see if it's the cable's fault.

I'm planning a move overseas in a few weeks time so I don't think there's enough time to send it in for repair under warranty. What a hassle....

Has anyone experienced same problem? I don't really use it much but it bugs knowing something's broken when it's only 4 months old...

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkirton:
Mine has intermittent issues, but in my case, it is the cheap cables I'm using.

I would go to Best Buy and pick up a cable (normally I would say order one from Newegg or somewhere like that, but it appears time is of the essence in your case) and see if that isn't the problem. Or...borrow a micro USB from a friend. Either way, try to eliminate the cable quickly (as that is the easiest and quickest route to go).
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Sounds good. But, I also might try re-loading the PC's drivers for Android also.

Never heard of a micro-usb going bad. Not yet anyhow.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
Micro USbs fail on phones all the time, it usually happens when the user isn't delicate with the connection while unplugging or plugging in the cable. The port technically doesn't fail, but the soldering connection to the circuit board does. I would first look at a bad cable. Don't you own a cell phone?? Even Crapberry uses micro usb for its charging data cable now try your cable from your phone or digital camera??

do a search. you will need to know your hboot version.... to find this power phone off then hold vol down and turn on phone. it will goto bootloader. your hboot version will be at the top. someone will be able to get you going in the right direction once you know this.

Touch gone crazy with USB cable connected even if charging only , it appears with multitasking after a while or immediately If I rebooted with usb connected, I can't even move the circle correctly, the device responds wierd to touches and runs icons not even near on the screen , this happens with USB connected to PC or charger, this happens with gingerbrid and now happening with ics, anybody having same problem or a solution?

Charger

+1 for it being cheapo charger related, I got screen crazyness on a SE Xperia Arc too when connected to crap charger.

I suggest getting 'official' charger or plug with usb socket and micro-b usb cable and see how you go...
[HTC Sensation] Karam.:
thanks

Thanks for replying, but im using the stock HTC charger, and I also tried the official one from my old desire, same problem happening occasionally or immediately with rebooting,
[HTC Sensation] Karam.:
pin

And I don't think it's the famous pin problem since the micro USB socket and the pin are on two different sides of the phone
[Motorola Droid X2] IAreKyleW00t:
I couldn't find an answer to this after searching, and I really wasn't sure which is better, so I'm just going to ask.

Eclipse or CM7? Pretty straight forwards... please say why also! Thanks in advance. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
You can not go wrong with either one. Both are great and are solid daily drivers. If you need HDMI then eclipse is for you. Cm7 is blazing fast and has so many options for themes and the theme Chooser. But eclipse also has great themer's as well. I would recommended having nano back up of each and go back and forth and see what fits you best. But you will really enjoy both.
[Motorola Droid X2] IAreKyleW00t:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I agree, both of them are known to be solid ROM's - each with their advantages and disadvantages...

HMDI I've never even used, and don't plan on it. Many things people have a "problem" with are things that I don't use, such as HDMI, GPS (seldomly use), etc.

Right now I'm flashing Eclipse 2.1.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
What I did is run one for a few weeks and get it running how I like. Then nano back up and then try another for a few weeks. Get it like you want and do another back up. At one time point I had several roms backed up. Now I stick with eclipse and cm7. If you have never used cm7 it is something you should run at some point. It is blazing fast and you can customize everything. It will take you weeks to figure out all the settings. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
even though I run CM7 now, I would say eclipse is an overall "better" rom in terms of supporting all the phone's features and being stable, like rock solid stable (was more stable than stock motoblur, and a bazillion times faster)

I would definitely call CM7 a beta, it has bugs, you learn to live with them.

My favorite overall so far was eclipse 1.3rc2
[Motorola Droid X2] ZTG2008:
Eclipse FTW

I've been on both ROMs recently and I would have to say that they are both superior to any thing else out there. I'm on the latest ROM for eclipse and all I can say is that this is fast... very fast on the DX2. You can't go wrong with either ROM, it comes down to HDMI support and then your preference.
[Motorola Droid X2] tshelby73:
CM7 definitely fastest but went back to eclipse for hdmi, stability and nuance voice control. Still have some problems with eclipse but allot less than cm7. One drawback of eclipse is 2.3.5 kernel, so when nandroiding have to sbf to switch roms.
[Motorola Droid X2] Bohnsta:
I use eclipse 2.1 on my X2. I had previously use CM7 for a month before switching. Yes CM7 is much faster, but Eclipse is more stable and has less bugs.

It's all about personal preference.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
+100!! I think this is the best option. Try them both out, and back them up. I am running CM7 and love it. Yes, it's lightning fast, but that isn't even my favorite feature. I prefer its customization overall. It has bugs, as a beta will, but I haven't experienced any that are deal breakers for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] IAreKyleW00t:
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Great deal of help to me (and I'm sure others).

Right now I'm running Eclipse 2.1 (I previously had Eclipse 2.0.2). From what I've seen so far I can notice a speed improvement overall, some updates and GREAT stability; much better than even the stock.

Later on I'll try out CM7, but I'm just worried about all the bugs it has... I'm sure it's nothing, but I'd rather have slightly less performance and stability. Either way, I'm still going to try it out sometime soon. Thanks again for all your feedback.

Also, I'm not into nandroid backups at all.. or any backups. I'd rather do a clean slate EVERY SINGE TIME. I don't have a ton of apps, so I can get it all back, along with my settings very easily. Just and FYI for you all.

EDIT: Also, just to clarify things - along with give people other information; I will be writing a FULL review of each ROM. Note that many of this will contain personal opinions and such, but it will greatly help people overall with info about them.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I felt the same way about sbf and re root not a huge deal but yes extra time. I heard people had luck with 2.04 on 2.3.4. I had to try and all was working well. Have not tried that with 2.1 but do a nano back up first just in case and remember it is not recommended but it has worked for quite a few people just not sure for 2.1.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McTavish55:
I have a Captivate which will go into download mode, but while in Odin will get stuck at "Do not turn off target" which is right after it says setting the PIT file. I have tried it with multiple Odins and on different PCs. This originally happened while I was using Odin to flash a stock firmware to change to a different ROM, It froze up at one point (I believe it was flashing SBL at the time). I don't know what to do, Please help!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
1. Make sure you pull your SIM card out. I know people say it doesn't matter but all I know is my phone hangs if I forget to take it out.

2. Make sure you start Odin as an administrator (right click on the icon and click "Run as Administrator"). This has also caused issues for me in the past.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McTavish55:
I always take the SIM card out when using Odin, and I always run it as administrator. I think it is getting stuck when partitioning the flash memory or something like that...

Here is google's knowledge base for developing Android software. Not easy to understand if you have never been exposed to software development but hey, it's a start. Plenty of other places on the web.

http://developer.android.com/index.html

software development takes special skills...and time...but if interested the best way is to dive in, start reading and figure it out.

Majority of developers I know are self-learners and like to explore and figure things out, test, try again, fail, try again, learn, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
^^^^^^ Good answer. Most people interested in development roll their sleeves up and get busy. They don't just start a thread and wait for the answer. Oh, and they also don't crap on the first answer that they get, either. But good luck. Maybe we'll see some of your work here some day.

andrawer's answer was useful, xavier's answer was useless, and the answers after his sucked donkey balls.

I've been programming since 1986. I've mentored lots of newbies and some need a little handholding at first, some jump in right from the start. andrawer pointed him in the right direction... if 6 months from now he still needs handholding then its time to reconsider. Until then, don't be an asshole.

I decided to get into programming for Android as well. I bought the book, Java A Beginner's Guide. I have no experience on any language but I will get into that book and hopefully learn Java. Should I take classes as well or book will be enough for me to learn and advance in Java?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JoeDV:
As a peer who began programming back in the days of Fortran77 and Pascal, I have to interject with somewhat of a different perspective. The original question(s) were vague, a tad confusing, too broad, and above all else, completely off topic to this particular forum.

Granted, the first answer should have been to point him towards educating himself on the various pieces that make a phone operational, but more importantly, to learn design, development, various programming languages and how they're applied to mobile technology.

With that said, the first appearance of name calling was with your post. As senior citizens in the confines of XDA it's really expected that we lead by example. Are there going to be wise-butt remarks, those that are useless, and some that are on the crass side? Sure.. but lets leave that to the kids who aren't quite as experienced and mature.

As for off-topic, not really. This forum is all about apps and OSes, all of which start with code. An interest in learning how to code is the first step.

This has happened couple times before, and just passed it off as a quirk. Now is the 3rd time,and the only way i have found to fix it, is to do a factory reset. Surely i cant keep doing that(and having to resinstall all apps)

I wanted to try MeanROM so i pretty much re-locked, upgraded to 2.17 and now i have to reroot just for this ROM (and also got a new radio...)

If not, do i just have to follow the HTC unlock method all over again from Scratch? The process is identical even if i have relocked it?

I don't think this topic has been discussed before (I did do a search before posting a new one). If it has, please remove it and redirect me to the correct thread, thanks!

So, here is my problem: I have a HTC Sensation 4G phone and I was trying to pair it to my car (Chevrolet Orlando 2012) using bluetooth. The car told me to do a search on the phone and once it has found it, enter the code provided. So I did all that and it seemed to worked out fine. It said the pairing was successful and it was ready for use. Then, things started to get a bit weird. Every now and then, and I am talking like every 10 to 15 seconds or so, the bluetooth will automatically turn off (unpair itself) and then 10 to 15 seconds later, it will pair itself again. While it is unpaired, it will switch over to the OnStar Handsfree Calling Service. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? My brother has an iPhone 4S, and my mom has the LG Optimus, and they both worked fine, no disruptions at all.
