Haha same here I've just learned by following directions. Gotta start somewhere!
[HTC EVO 3D] **super_flasher**:
Actually hardest part was bricking the phone..the video was a little hard to follow. You can do it
[HTC EVO 3D] ummduh:
ditto. the hardest part by far wasn't the Linux command shells, it was pulling the cord at the right time. it took me 3 tries before I managed to brick the phone! as soon as that progress bar shows up you gotta yank that cord!

would have thunk it'd be that hard to brick your phone???
[HTC EVO 3D] leo72793:
dude....i did it and I have no linux experience. Just make sure after u do sudo -i, you use CD /path/to/ etc to grab the directory to actually run it
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
It'll be available for you to flash right after release, and you probably won't need to lose root for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Ha! Then you'll take the ICS ota and be blessed with a new hboot that could take months to unlock. Just get S-off now, while you can. Then flash whatever ROM you want for as long as you have the phone. The linux part was the easiest part of the ordeal. It's just a few simple commands. Copy and paste them if you need to.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
read that as 3DS as in the Nintendo 3DS :p

I do that all the time lol
[HTC EVO 3D] josephnero:
Same here
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I think it will be sooner there for unbranded HTC EVO 3D GSM phones, I guess you sprint guys are going see it later.

But as soon its released you will find also the custom roms based on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
It's sudo -s :P

OMG tell me about it lol, it was like my 5th try before mine bricked lol

I'm having a bit of a problem with Calkulin v2.9.2 EL29. When using Gtalk it seems to not stay signed in no matter what. Over time it signs off and I have to sign back in even when using WiFi at home.

Anyone else seeing this or any suggestions as to how to fix this? I have auto sign in checked.
[General Questions and Answers] Bloodrum:
Hello, I have been searching for this information a while now, so I hope this isn't redundant. I recently bought an android in China, called a Ktouch U2. Yes, it's sad, my ability to read Chinese is very poor, so I have been having a ***** of a time finding a USB driver for this phone.

I want to root this thing, but when I read the step about making sure my adb drivers are installed, or usb drivers are installed, I really have no idea what to do.

My Chinese friend looked and sent me a folder titled Ktouch USB driver, but when I opened it, none of the items are written as apps, just "setup information" and "security catalog" files.

I want to root so I may use my VPN, and then see about downloading apps from Google instead of this cheap Chinese app market that came with the device.

What do?

I want to fix it so that I can just switch out SIM cards when I get back to the States and use it like an ordinary android.
[General Questions and Answers] ariifaaw:
try with superoneclick , and then you enable usb debugging at application>development>usb debug

when you dont know it , see d image :p
[General Questions and Answers] Bloodrum:
USB Driver

I can't do anything until I get the UBS driver for the device installed on my machine. Problem is, that after I downloaded from the manufacturer, it was just a zip file full of garbage:

msmdm.inf file

tymdm.inf file

tyser.inf file

tyusbser.cat

tyusbser.sys

...

What is this stuff? How do I make that into a USB Driver for my phone?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feltmaster:
New to the Streak and custom Roms. I have not been able to get my accounts to sync regularly. My two POP mail (aol)accounts did not update at all today, my exchange account, which is push, was way behind today. It seems Facebook and gmail seem to by updating properly.

I am running Android 2.3.3 with SD Gingerstreak 2.4.4 and kernal 2.6.35.7-perf Baswband GAUSB1A140515-US

When I go into Accounts and Sync Settings at the bottom I have the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back soon"

This appears all the time using both tmobile and Straight Talk sims, today was the worst.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
Since your are new to the streak and custom roms, let me make a suggestion for you. Get rid of Gingerstreak and go with DSC. Gingerstreak was groundbreaking when it first came to be, but is now unsupported and has been for quite a while. The team involved with DSC, especially _n0p_, are nothing short of amazing and have produced a retail quality Gingerbread rom and associated kernel.

So i'm using the stock messaging app. Yesterday I froze some apps using TB. Is it possible one of those apps has rendered my text notification not working?

Good place to start?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Addictd:
i suppose its possible

my uneducated guess is that its possible :P

did you just randomly freeze apps or did u check the bloatware thread first?

[LG Thrill 4G] yourguitarist:
So now that AT&T FINALLY released gingerbread, is it worth the update? I've been running V20C for a while now and I think it's great. After reading a couple of threads, no one really addressed if the update is better or not and I've also seen people mention that they've been having ghost call issues and what not.

Thanks in advance! :)
[LG Thrill 4G] johnw230873:
Is it worth it???? Looking at it no, not if you are trying to gain something in 20P that 20c doesn't give you unless you want the ATT APNs and their custom applications.

I thought it had fixed my ghost calls but after 3 days I found I had one.
[LG Thrill 4G] Att.Fan1982:
Maybe I missed it but what is the difference between V20c and V20p?
[LG Thrill 4G] johnw230873:
Mainly service provider custom software and apns.

There are meant to be some fixes in V20P but I haven't heard what they are.

V20P has a slighly different baseband where some customs roms will not give you a signal.

In short V20C putout by Rogers, V20P is put out by ATT
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
Also AT&T changed the way Bluetooth is toggled, so many ROMs that support V20P will have problems turning it on.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ CM9
[LG Thrill 4G] yourguitarist:
Lately I've been dealing with some ghost calls on V20C with AT&T so would there be less if I used V20P?

Does your rom work fine with that in your 3.1 update?
[Motorola Droid X2] twizzles:
My wifes x2 display is using 59% battery. Weve changed the timeout to 30s and brightness down really low. But her. Battery still dies very fast. Its only 2 months old. We ha e disabled bt wifi and gps. Any other tips?

One other question. When her phone dies she cannot plug it in and turn it on or it gets stuck on the motorola logo. Qe have to wait till droid boot animation to plug it in. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
If you plug it in from off do you see the charging screen? Try plugging it in and holding the power button simultaneously if the phone is off.

Is the phone rooted and romd or stock?

Is it running 2.3.4?
[Motorola Droid X2] twizzles:
Its running 2.3.4 rooted but not romd. I had the phone for about a month and had no issues with it. However i never allowed it to die. Shes not a heavy user but my main concern is why the display uses 59% where my d4 uses only 26% on the same settings as hers. Can i unroot the phone in case i have to return it under warranty?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
when the phone dies you need to plug it in and wait until the battery on charge only screen shows at least 10% before the system will, allow you to turn it on

if you have BSR installed tho, as soon as it dies you can plug it in and when BSR comes up you can just choose reboot system now.

and the reason you d4 uses less battery on screen it's because I believe it is an amoled screen, which consumes much, lower power levels than an LCD screen
[Motorola Droid X2] Maleko48:
Have you tried recalibrating the battery too?
[Motorola Droid X2] twizzles:
No. How do i do that? Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] Maleko48:
First, make sure the battery is completely charged, then boot into custom recovery (BSR). Go to advanced options (towards the bottom of the list) and there should be an option that says 'recalibrate battery'. Once you recalibrate it, reboot back into android. I usually always let my battery run completely out after doing a recalibration before recharging it after a re-cal. If you find on your first discharge after recalibrating that your phone tells you you've only got 20% left and it would normally only last an hour before, depending if it needed the re-cal it may last 2 hours. Those numbers are just hypotheticals. Point is, recalibrating lets android know it's for sure 100% full at the start, but it doesn't necesarily know the end point until it gets there by allowing a full discharge. Also, the lithium batteries our phones use do best when recharged around 15-20%. It's actually bad to let them completely discharge all the time. And if you have multiple batteries and one may be sitting for a while, it's best to store them between 30-40%. Let me know if you need any more clarification.
[Motorola Droid X2] twizzles:
Im going to try that thank you
[Motorola Droid X2] Maleko48:
More importantly, if you are already rooted and such, why not run a custom ROM? CM7 and/or Eclipse should give you a good boost in battery life. Running CM7 my standard battery lasts 18-24 hours with light ish usage. And that's with my original battery from when the DX2 first came out. I also have an extended battery I am running right now, but don't have data on that one yet since it's still discharging now. I do know that swapping between batteries of different capacities pisses android off sometimes though lol. Aside from custom roms, there are scripts and apps/software-based mods that can help it significantly too. Namely, wifi vs 3g usage, turning 3g data off when your phone is not being used, etc... I started off with an original DX but VZW gave me a free upgrade to DX2 after my 6th warrantied DX. I miss Rubix's ROM and being able to overclock and undervolt... My DX would last 2+ days sometimes when I had it all dialed in.
[Motorola Droid X2] twizzles:
Its now my wifes phone. Since she already has had time getting used to stock i doubt she'll let me put a rom on it lol. But ill try
[Motorola Droid X2] Maleko48:
Well fortunately you've got a Blur-based and AOSP-based option for it. I know what you mean though, my gf likes her Sense-based UI, but had to give it up for a semi-funtioning Eris. I think she is getting a Bionic sooner than later... HTC is garbage.
[Motorola Droid X2] weldawadyathink:
Or you can download the app battery calibrator (haar a red Android as the pic) and follow the directions
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
letting your battery die completely is not recommended no matter what you've been Told

Li-on batteries were designed to last longer when you don't let it die completely

start charging around 15%-10%, 5 is pushing it cuz its most likely gonna shut down before you see 5, trust me, it's bad for the life of tour battery to let it drain completely, just Google Li-on battery life, recommendations and u can read for yourself lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Maleko48:
Yeah I know you're not *supposed* to let them discharge all the way but sometimes you have to and sometimes it just happens. For instance, my extended battery that I just did a re-cal on the other day has been sitting at 1% for the past few hours and is currently reading 1day 12 hours of uptime. (I shut it off the other night though and it is still discharging from its initial charge that I did the re-cal on.) So if I would have recharged it at 5% or whatever, I would be losing a decent chunk of available battery because android thought it was empty when it really wasn't, thus skewing the battery's voltage window.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
that will only happen with extended batteries or one of those "Chinese", aftermarket batteries

regardless, battery life of Li-on batteries will decrease from letting it completely discharge, the more times you do it, the less your battery health will be.(BTW when do you "have to" let it discharge completely? , I'm not "calling you out or trying to "make you look stupid" or anything, I'm just curious what you meant by that?)

when I say 15-5% don't look at it as when Android reports that percentage, the x2 will, NEVER show an extended battery percentage correctly no matter how many times you "calibrate" that's just how it goes, it doesn't realize there is a higher capacity battery in the device larger than 1500mah, what you wanna do is use a battery voltage widget to monitor battery left, when it starts to get around 3500mV is when you are gonna want to charge I believe, (I think that 3200 is completely dead, and 4200 is topped off)

also,, wiping battery stats is a useless practice, not long ago I believe a Google developer wrote about why it's useless, apparently battery stats only has to do with the battery use settings stats about which apps have used which amount of battery. the battery stats gets reset/wiped EVERY time you get to a near fill-full charge (hence why the battery use graph resets itself when u almost fully charged, if you stop charging around 60-70% it wont reset)

reference:: http://rootzwiki.com/_/articles/wiping-battery-stats-is-pointless-says-google-r316
[Motorola Droid X2] Maleko48:
Thanks for pointing that out. I regularly swap between my standard and extended batteries (both straight from VZW) because I'm always out and about and have used re-cal's to keep the perceived percentages from being skewed since I like to know how much life I have left in my phone so I know if I am gonna be able to find my way home or not, lol. (I ride my bike far and wide.)

I remember reading a while back that every time you un-plug your phone from a full charge that battery bin file gets re-written as 100%. So regardless of what android reports, yes, you will always get to use your battery until it is fully dead, but when swapping between two different capacities of batteries the reported percentages get skewed. And as I mentioned before, more often than not I am far from home on a bicycle in a city I only know a fraction of, and many nights somewhat inebriated, haha. I <3 my android, but it can certainly be a lot of work to keep up with.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
trust me, I know exactly what you're talkin bout

except mostly riding buses/trains for mE

I have two standard and one extended, I always use the extend first since it will never report correctly when I'm out, then I switch to the standard ones so when they are running low, I KNOW when they will die lol

Someone can post an example of Home Screen widget for Android SDK 2.3.3 with the source files? Just with a TextView will be enough.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
In this page you'll find a very basic example (sorry, in Spanish). Don't forget to read the oficial documentation (basically the same info that is posted in the web, but less explained :p).

Basically, you need:

Declare a layout for your widget.

Create a xml file, to store basic info about your widget (i.e its size in the homescreen).

Develop the callback methods (onUpdate at least, all others are optional).

Modify the Android Manifest, in order to obtain a widget and not an app.

Compile and test (if you wish to pray, you can do it :D)

This question is for developers or anyone with a more than average experience on custom ROMS. So i tried to flash Steves Kernal with ODIN. But, I might've accidently opened the file using notepad instead of 7zip :( So ODIN said it was complete so i unplugged my player and the only thing i saw was a hazard symbol with a cell phone and a computer on each side. What did I do wrong? Is this a form of brick? *NOTE* I can't really get into recovery OR download mode? Please Help. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
That phone & computer symbol is download mode. If you plug your SGP into odin while that symbol appears, odin should detect the device.

Opening it in notepad shouldn't make any difference unless you saved it before closing. In that case I'd redownload the kernel and try again. Also, make sure you use the correct slot in odin for the kernel you're flashing (should be PDA, I believe)

Hi navossoc,

Just tried your tool - extracted V20o kdz to a cab file, containing lgp970.dll and v20o.wdb

1 suggestion / 1 question ;)

- would be nice to have a graphical interface, instead of command line

- what to do with the wdb file ?

Ok, another tiny suggestion - how about trying teamwork with the other devs and create a super flash/backup tool, that can backup a phone via PC and flash stock/custom ROMs, while providing a choice of what packages from the ROM to flash

Congrats for the software
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
If this tool is only intended to extract .wdb file from .kdz it makes nothing new... I archieved this a lot of time ago but is useless.
[LG Optimus Black] navossoc:
Did you tried run something like:

LGExtract -kdz file.kdz

What is your operational system?

Yeah, it's on my plans, for now I wanna extend the support first.

1. I agree, I will in future.

2. If you extract wdb files you got the .bin and .cps file! Yeah!!!! You can flash it directly with smart flash tool.

How can you say that? we can flash you p970 with smart flash tool as-is and root in seconds in with this tool (properly finished!)

I need go now, I will post more details later.

Who is having errors, please, more details, operational system?
