Well... I have a OG Droid 2.2.3. Whenever I connect it to my windows 7, it shows up as "device has malfunctioned, device.. unknown" everytime. I have tried reinstalling drivers, etc but the Computer never recognizes it as a Motorola device.

Also, my phone doesn't charge when the phone is on and connected to the pc, but when the phone is connected to the PC and I turn the phone off, it charges (but then it wont turn on unless I disconnect it).

Also, whenever it is connected, it never shows the USB icon/ or anything in the notification bar. So, I havent been able to root it yet. I have tried on 3 other computers (XP, 7, 7) and 3 other USB cables. Same results.

I want to root my Droid 2.2.3, I have tried z4root app, but it doesn't support 2.2+

How can I root my Droid without a PC, can I use terminal, etc and do it on the phone itself?

Tried it. This is all I get in device manager: I don't get any usb mass storage devices, or anything. I get 1 Unknown device, which if I try to manually update with Motorola drivers, Windows tells me they are incompatible and it doesnt install
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isavegas:
your best bet is superoneclick 2.3.3. (just look it up or go to shortfuse.org) i got it to work beautifully on my moms phone. plus it works on 2.3.3 (no duh! lol). terminal emulator may work.... but what is the model under your "about phone." im not familiar with the "og droid" and im getting conflicting results searching for it... is it the droid one by motorola?

and uninstall the "unknown device" drivers, reboot your machine, and run the driver installers as administrator

update: what sucks is, if you were already rooted, adbwireless and ftpdroid could solve all of your problems, assuming you have wifi at home.............

i have an idea, post a link to the motorola drivers you have, and ill see if they install over here. if so, its a computer problem for sure. if not, then you probably need to get them somewhere else. (dont know why the source would have sucky drivers when other places wouldnt, but there's no harm in trying. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kill00:
Tried your suggestion. Nothing. Still getting device is unrecog/has malfunctioned.

Its the Motorola Droid 1 on 2.2.3

Come on. There HAS to be a way to root it or install a custom rom without a computer! Ahh
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isavegas:
Sorry. The only two ways I know how to root 2.3.3 and up use comp. Best Bet is fixing your connection with computer right now. Sorry. Try asking customer service? Maybe get the phone replaced. Then you have Shiney NEW phone to root!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Slax728:
Hi guys !

I have Xperia mini pro (U20i)

Baseband : M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

Kernel version : 2.6.29

Build number : 2.1.1.C.0.0

Rooted+Recovery

I want to unlock Bootloader,but before i have simlock and I paid 20€ for unlock.I read that unlocking bootloader restore simlock and I dont want pay again.

So my question: Is there any chance to unlock bootloader without restore simlock ?

Please give me a little chance :)

Sorry for my bad english

Greetings from Slovakia :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
I AM NOT COMPLETELY SURE, but I think you'll need to pay again. That's what I think, I've never been on that situation before...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Slax728:
thanx for reply..one more question: when i flash stock rom and stock kernel with SEUS will be bootloader still unlocked or it will be locked ?

sorry for english
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:
Flashing ONLY WITH SEUS relocks bootloader. (In fact, the bootloader was never unlocked, only patched, so flashing something official removes the patch.)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] speedsys:
Flashing with seus DOESN'T relock the boot loader!! Just flashes the stock rom and kernel.

Im so confused guys...what is true ? :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leajian:

And does anyone have the stock kt atrix rom file? just in case.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3351118:
Answers

Nope. You just need to flash the ROM on CMW. But if you're KT user you need to get SMS fixed(Jokersax and turl's ROMs have working SMS without any fixes, but for AOKP you need to flash SMS fix for KT message service)

You can search for it on Develoid(Korean Community)

*There's no official stock KT .sbf but there's one modded by Say(sjdgns1189).

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

If you add APN for SKT/KT network services, then you'll be able to use ATT stock ROMs except for message service if you're KT(KT uses different type of communicating method).

For CM7, CM9 and other customs you can get it serviced without any additional settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jeff_in_LA:
How do I force a sync for contacts (Exchange)

Yes, I know how to do email sync, but I can find no way of doing this with contacts. It seems like they sync at some predetermined interval.

I add a contact in exchange on my PC, then if I want to see it immediately (like I'm driving to a client and setting the GPS) I have to reboot the friggen phone to make it available..

My EVO did this easily.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] expalpo:
You can always force sync through the “Accounts and sync” settings page.

Click Settings

Click Accounts and sync

Click on your corporate/exchange account

Click Sync now

Or you can use something like the free app "Synker", a sync widget, to create a widget that allows you to force sync specific accounts regardless of the current auto-sync setting.

You can also use the power control widget, Widgetsoid, etc… to “toggle” the global Android auto-sync setting off/on, which effectively will cause a force sync.
[Acer Iconia A500] cthenrys:
I have an A500 that is (generally) stock - was rooted prior to 3.2.1 but is running stock OS now. This past weekend, all of a sudden it appears there is dust or debris on the rear camera lens - there are small dots or smudges on the lens and the camera will not focus beyond a very close (macro) range). I called Acer because it is still in warranty, but I also went ahead and cracked open the case and tried to clean the camera and lens cover - no luck. I think there are fewer smudges but they are still there.

Here are my questions :

Is there something else I can do to clean this without shipping it back to Acer ( I would rather not be without it for ~2 weeks)

Assuming I need to send it back, what should I clean off the unit to ensure there are no "out of warranty" findings from when it was rooted ?

Doe they have any markers inside the case to determine if someone has cracked the case ? I didn't see any, but am curious what others have to say ?

Thanks in advance for your help

[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
i had a similar issue with mine: the rectangle of glass surrounding the raear camera was getting filled with dust from the inside. since that piece was loose, i pried it off, wiped it clean with a dry clean cloth (i used what i use to clean my glasses) and stuck it back on. it was only glued on so its still loose, but the camera quality is much improved.

it sounds like you have a similar issue, and your camera is focusing on the specs on the glass instead of what you want it to focus on. i don't know if you want to try taking it apart or not, but those are my few cents.
[Acer Iconia A500] cthenrys:
Not the outer piece

So I did crack open the case and the specks are not on the outer lense cover (i.e. the one that is visible from the rear of the camera. By viewing the camera with the rear cover still disassembled and separated from the unit, the specks are still there so it is either on the lense itself (again which I have tried to clean as well, or the digital pickup (CCD?)).

I'm stumped. Any ideas ?

I used wave8500 b4.it had 90,180,270,360 rotatable screen.But i cant find an app or away to invert the display.

Samsung has got the wrong placement of earphones jack n micro usb jack.

Its irritating to use the phone while charging.

Its equally irritating to use ph with earphones coz the wire falls flat on the screen.

What a blunder in design.

So inverting the display at that time would be comfortable.

I know cyanogen mod has this feature.But no custom or stock rom has this for note.

For some phones running an ussd code can invert the display..

Is there something like that for the so called greatest phone....?

I use a Leaf inside my apartment complex and it works well for me. Is there anyway to weld or hammer to the Galaxy Nexus with the Leaf/Leaf Pro? I'd really like to watch and record DHDTV anywhere.

(Alright, full disclosure, this post was purely motivated by March Madness. It's a sickness.)

Got a couple PM's suggesting the APP itself. That's cool and all but last year it was free. This year it's $3.99.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I must not be comprehending this right.. You want to weld that thing up there on top of the tv that looks like a computer monitor to your GN!?:eek:

And if that is really the case.. That is better than paying $3.99/mo?:confused:

I mean.. I know the economy is **** right now.. but..

Please tell me I am completely misunderstanding this idea!!

And for Basketball? I mean there is nothing wrong with basket ball but if I am going to deface my Nexus it better be for something good. **** tell me the purpose of this is to catch the season finale of The Walking Dead next weekend and I will fire up the blow torch on my end! ;) lol. Just poking at you having some fun. But for real, please dont do this. Everybody around me is already on their phones enough as it is I cant handle seeing them with iPad sized bunny ears attached.

Well posted, sir. Gave me a good laugh. I can just see it: Mom? What's that strange man doing in our yard?. LOL!

It would be awesome though. Connect the Leaf via USB and be able to pull, watch and record live TV? Size issues aside how cool is that?

[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
Before trying out some ICS ROMs, my only experience with the acer ring was from using the Iconia Touchbook. When i first heard acer was bringing the ring to android i was pretty excited, and i thought it would add some great functionality.

however, after i flashed a ROM containing it, i became annoyed with it very quickly. while i enjoyed having a way to access volume onscreen, the whole thing was just too obtrusive. it was easier just to use the hardware buttons. the only other thing i could think of to use the ring for was as a way to launch overskreen or aircalc from anywhere, but, lets face it, hitting home, opening an app on your center homescreen, and returning to what you were doing isn't that big of a deal.

also, the acer ring comes bundles with the acer lockscreen, and i really don't enjoy that. i actually greatly prefer the honeycomb lockscreen to the stock ICS one, i think the camera-launch from the homescreen is kinda pointless on a tablet, but i can live with it. the acer lockscreen, however, is gaudy, and i don't WANT to have to choose 4 apps to put on my lockscreen.

So, now that i got my personal feelings out of the way, I would like to year what you guys think. :)

Is the Acer Ring cool or annoying? do you like the lockscreen that comes with it? if so why? and have you actually tried it, or are these just your initial impressions?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ehhh... eye candy. Also, considering the drop in performance vs returns..

Ok, so you can hit a bookmark from the lockscreen. Tab unlocks. Browser opens.

Nice feature. Sort of defeats the purpose of having a lockscreen don't you think?

What's nice, is that it is so darn easy to modify in the apk! As far as colors and such. Much easier than mucking around in the systemUI. Makes for a nice lock ring.

Just saying....
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I like it and it has no impact on performance. I compaired with ring and without ring.

You can easely dissable it in settings.

If you don't want any feature of the ring and lock screen ring just two words need to be changed in build.prop

Enabled to disabled.

Acer shell mode and Acer shell contact mode.

That simple.

If you want you can discuss every app on a rom.

So for me yes , ones you are used to it its very easy.

Its not only for your bookmarks but if you put in the ring your favorite apps you get really fast access to them.

Everybody wants a folder orginazer but this ring combined with apinap you are set.

And yes it looks cool.

I use it every time now.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I have absolutely no use for it, but then again, I see no reason to hate it either. I mean, you can just ignore it if you don't like it.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
it was one of my favorite features of the a200 3.2.1 port, but after running that for a while i simply dont care about it. its inclusion in a rom isnt a deal breaker for me either way, as it doesnt effect performance and it doesnt hurt anything being there.
[Acer Iconia A500] dodgerflagg:
the ring

I disabled it, but I like the lock screen. I've been using ics on my a500 for a few days and have the apps I would open anyway on the lock screen ring.
[Acer Iconia A500] Falkner09:
Wizz bar does what the ring does, and is MUCH better. I hate skins, all they do is disable and cause incompatibility. Case in point: acer's ring and Samsung's similar thing cause problems for Wizz bar.
[Acer Iconia A500] shane6374:
I just picked up the A500 today. I played with the A200 a bit and the lock screen kinda reminds me of the AOKP roms a bit with the lockscreen. It's gonna be interesting to see what all we can do with it theme wise. It seems to add way more compared to the AOSP builds I've been theming on me nexus.
[Acer Iconia A500] lawrex:
I like the lock screen ring for the purpose of being able to go straight to the apps I use the most. Also, it is nice to be able to change volume from inside ICS. I just have a small preference to using the UI for volume. If I were to have a complaint, it would be that the Ring can only access 'local' bookmarks and not those from my Google account that I have synced.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Why not just change them to local ones you setup the ring bookmarks.

I like it but wish I could do more with it. its cool eye candy to show off with but most of the time I don't use it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
I love it. eye candy and functional. Doesn't take away too much from the experience. I do wish there was a finger gesture to bring it up though, instead of the button at the bottom. Perhaps there's an app out there that can run in the background and bring the ring up when a 5-finger gesture is used?
[Acer Iconia A500] lawrex:
I do have some, but I would prefer to have all my bookmarks synced between machines. Sites I visit more I have added to local, but it would be nice if I didn't have to. In retrospect, I think I have an understanding as to why they don't. It isn't a deal breaker, just my opinion.
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
It's a bit of fun, but not that useful...

...Mainly because I use Dolphin as my browser. If there was a way to make my bookmarks from Dolphin available to the Ring, I might still use it. But as it is? Turned it off...

Currently using Flexreaper with Go launcher Beta for ICS and loving it... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] kshfahmy:
I just updated my A501 to ICS and looking for a way to configure the normal Acer lock ring. Is there a way to add some items to the lock and the camera?
[Acer Iconia A500] kdejong2012:
I use the lock ring functionality every day. Very convenient to jump straight to email (or whatever your top apps are) when unlocking the tab. I don't use the ring much once in UI after unlock but I like the functionality. Yes, it's nice eye candy also.
[Acer Iconia A500] rcraig617:
I love it because my main apps that I use are on there so its very easy to get to the apps I need. I don't install a from if it doesn't have the ring but I can see why some people wouldn't like it.
[Acer Iconia A500] devize:
I like it but I hate how it doesn't show gmail linked bookmarks, only local. Is there a way to have the bookmarks on both local and my account so that I can use the links on my other devices while having them show in the ring?
[Acer Iconia A500] Droidify:
Not so much a fan of it. I use an alternative method to quickly get to my most used apps and don't care for it at all on my lock screen. Civato provided the way to disable it which is exactly what I did!
[Acer Iconia A500] Eric Karz:
I like it .. i have it working on my a500 honeycomb 321 (used a200 files)

i was able to change some buttons and put a new icon to start the ring

i think it adds eye candy to the table but is a little hard at times on resources
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yes it is possible but not stable. When on my re-flex rom and with a JB acerring selected you change API level in build.prop from 15 to 16 . Save it and reboot. Open the ring now and you will see that you can use local and your account t bookmarks. One problem , all Google apps like music, play store,......all crash because of wrong API level.

I could probably do without most Google apps but not the play store :(

But I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1!

​

This is a beta release of a program I tossed together to make it easier to perform some common tasks on the HTC Vivid. It will:

Walk you through the Bootloader Unlock process

Capture your Device Token for submission to HTCDev

Apply the Unlock_code.bin file to your device

Root your device

I expect a few bugs, however I have tested it on my laptop with positive results. I was able to Unlock the bootloader and lock it again. Everything is bundled so you don't need the Android SDK. The goal was to create something similar to the multi-tool, but for OS X. This is also different from the other Mac tool as it isn't using Apple Script but instead Objective-C. The user should never see a terminal window if all goes well.

Report any bugs if you want, and I'll get them fixed asap. Remember this is beta and I'm not responsible for your device, etc etc etc.
