[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabercatpuck:
but then you can back stuff up

The backup tools with root are much better from what I have seen so you have a fighting chance to keep that record of what you have accomplished in angry birds if you can get root first without wiping my data. Plus there are those who are not worried about flashing a new Rom, just want to be able to get rid of bloatware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:
I have found a residue about the size of a quarter on the bottom right side of my screen. I have tried removing it without success does anyone have any ideas on what this could be and the best way to remove it? This isn't a screen protector glue it literally appeared out of no where and creates a ruffness to the screen but it has no signs of scratches anywhere on there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Donjuanal:
Have you tried using a rubbing alcohol or lense cleaning wipe? Did you put your phone near anything that may have spilled on it or left of unattended near untrustworthy folk?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Donjuanal:
Have you tried acetone? I'm not sure it'd be safe to use on the phone but you might try a q-tip on a small patch to see if it makes a difference? I find acetone usually works in times when alcohol doesnt. Just be careful.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
When I need to remove residue - such as from tape or stickers, either denatured alcohol or paint thinner will work. Where one doesn't work, the other will. Forget rubbing alcohol, most of that stuff is heavily watered down, usually by 25%.

Here's a tip, not phone related. Ever get gasoline on your hands and notice that washing with soap and water won't make the smell go away? Use a little paint thinner first, rub it all over your hands. Then use soap and water. There won't be a trace of odor left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PeartFan40:
No offense, but the last thing you should be doing, is using chemicals of any kind. The phone has a warranty, so let AT&T handle it. The last thing you want, is chemical damage on your Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:
Took it into the att store and he guy just pit hand sanitizer on there and tried wiping it off. It didn't work so I got a replacement in the mail today and it works fine so far. The funny thing is that they send one with a s pen so now I have two haha

When I setup up a video chat (either group or one-on-one) with Google+ Hangouts it always drops the video chat after a certain time (there's no pattern to when and why). Yet when I'm using other video chatting services like skype or tango I can video chat as long as I want.

I'm usually using my video chat with a 4G network (LTE).

Any help would be appreciated. I searched all over with no help.

Dont know if many of you guys knew, but the glow wired controllers from gamestop works fine with ics.. tried my microsoft xbox 360 controller and official sony controllers and no dice..plugged in this controller and worked instantly.. gta, shadowgun,emulators, onlive etc and they are only 30 bucks. hopes this helps a bunch of pissed people who couldnt use gamepads like me on their tabs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pcchan:
Is this the controller you're talking about:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Shaquiel Harris:
Yes that's it (second post) but I got the ps3 version don't know if it will make a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hotdiggitydog:
I have no issues with my PS3 controller, once I connect the USB cord to the Dock and press the PS3 button.

However games like shadowgun play a little akward, so I setup custom keys using usb/bt joystick center. It takes a bit to configure everything, but once you do it works excellent.
[HTC Inspire 4G] username11:
I believe these are bugs, but I cannot post in the respective threads. Anyone else experience the issue in the thread title?

Basically, after a fresh flash, attempt to create a new event. aospX will prompt you to enter a google or corporate email account. If you decline, it'll tell you that no calendar is found and that a calendar account needs to be present, but you have to first enter a sync account and allow it to finish. In other words, if you don't want to enter a sync account, you're out of luck. It just won't create a local calendar.

With stock and stock-ish ROMs, the system seems to have no issues creating a local calendar after a fresh install even though I don't enter any sync accounts.

This basically makes the calendars unusuable for anything more than date reference - except CM7, I don't think it's even possible to merely even view the calendar. I've tried the latest stable version of CM7. I haven't tried the nightly yet. I couldn't download it last time I tried. The site is broken, as is the site for the changelog.

CM's tracker has what I believe to be this issue as Issue 4818. There's even some code someone posted over there - maybe it'll help the devs.

thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
GIve the app Business Calendar a try. might be a decent work around. personally i like it better anyways.
[HTC Inspire 4G] username11:
thanks. I've tried that, but it seems to depend on the built in database. If there's no local calendar already in existence, Business Calendar will complain.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
this could possibly be what youre looking for

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImpwLmNvLmpvaG9zcGFjZS5qb3J0ZSJd

i guess im not really finding anything as far as 'non synced' calendars. maybe too low of a demand for something you cant sync with you computer or work computer
[HTC Inspire 4G] username11:
Thanks, I'll give it a try to see. You're right, I imagine most people probably enter in a google or corporate account. I guess that means I might be waiting a long time for a fix! :eek::p

edit: it's not that I don't want something that cannot sync at all, only something that won't complain if it isn't synced with an online account; something that can function fine without any linked accounts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] orcrist86:
I was attempting to follow the root instructions on the FP1 updated thread for rooting my my charge. (step 5)

This is my first time doing this so I picked up ODIN 1.85, the PIT file from IMNUTS and the 302 blue CWM link on the post. I followed instructions and got a fail. Now when I try to boot the phone I get an image of a cell phone and computer with an exclamation mark. I used the PDA setting as instructed. The error I got relates to not having a good pit or something. Did I download a corrupted file? any help restoring my phone to function would be appreciated.:confused:

[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
sometimes bad downloads do happen. try and download the PIT again, and remeber u only want re-partition checked in Odin, uncheck the other two. The PIT file MUST go in the PIT tab and the .md5 MUST go in the PDA tab, if you put it in one of the other tabs, well, UR ****ED! SO DONT DO IT!

No worries tho man, just try again and welcome to the world of a rooted Charge!

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

your phone got disconnected, thats the problem. just happened to me too. make sure ur connected to the usb in the back of ur computer. once connected put the phone down, in a place where it wont move, these connections can be quite delicate so any slight movement could cause a lost connection, and a FAIL in ODIN.
[Verizon Droid Charge] orcrist86:
I changed usb ports and nothing. It still fails at about the 3/4 mark. when I do a test extract of the bin file I get a message about an incomplete block. I dont' have the md5 for the file so I'll start looking

just tried flashing a stock file... again with the removed command. I wonder if my cable is bad?
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
Do you have the battery in when flashing? If not put it in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] orcrist86:
You guys saved my bacon, I've installed superuser, though I'm going to let CWR die for now. I want to get tethering operational and let eclipse and the others put out a revision or two of the debloated fp1 before I fully rom up my phone.

[Motorola Photon 4G] rowblue:
Did some searching around the forums and couldn't find a clear answer - is there any way to use an xbox 360 controller with my photon? Seemed like it might be possible using the HD dock (I realllly want to play gta using an xbox controller). Can anyone confirm or deny?
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
I somehow made mine work, was a hell of a process though. Ended up finding an app on my phone that would sync to my computer via wifi and see my controllers(plugged into my comp) signals and send them to the Photon. Cant recall name of app off top of head though..
[Motorola Photon 4G] bray424:
Which version of Android are you using? I seem to remember one of the big features of ICS was native USB device support, so I'm curious if you still need third party apps for gamepads. I'd really like to see if I could use HDMI out and a 360 controller to turn my phone into a full fledged console.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Yeah forgot about that, I was on Cybiks CM7 at the time. On CM9 but haven't messed with trying it out on here since CM9
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
One guy in here bought the HD dock, and he said a generic controller from Radio Shack worked, but he didn't say about a 360 controller. I know that with the sixaxis app, you can use a PS3 controller, and it's amazing. What's cool about it is that it not only can play games like GTA and Shadowgun, which are designed to take physical keyboard inputs, but it can emulate screen touches. So you can play pretty much any game if you are willing to set up the touch profiles. Modern Combat 3 looks pretty good on my big screen, and game play is smooth once you get the controls you want.

I dropped the $50 on a PS3 controller just because I wanted to use it on my phone, I don't even own a PS3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I have heard the Wiimote (Nintendo Wii remote) works as well. The common denominator here, with the PS3 Sixaxis controller, is Bluetooth, which our phones support (pretty much all of them do). The Xbox 360 controller uses another kind of wireless, or USB as a peripheral, and phone support for that (without the dock) is far less. I'm considering getting a PS3 controller as well. Screen controls are okay for some emulated games. I beat Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) on my phone, but I tried a couple Mario games and it was laughably bad.

(Running an Electrify, BTW... should be the same minus 4G.)

Please help me!

I have "speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz" Kernel on my phone and it comes with CWM. I download the MIUI Captivate ROM from here

When i flashed it from SpeedMod Recovery then I said some code, booted then showed some code from the kernel, then booted. It repeated this... Scared, I pulled the battery.

Using Odin3v1.85 i Put a stock kernel on my captivate.

When i boot it, it shows the "AT&T World Phone" Boot screen, and It stays like that for DAYS!!! (Trust me, I know from experience)

I tried recovering an earlier backup but it says

.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure

I have no idea if the above affects anything but any help is Greatly Appreaceted.

I use Win7 MacOSX Lion and Ubuntu 11.10 so if there is any help at all then tell it to me!

By the way, I can get into Download Mode and Recovery Mode but cannot get into USB Debugging Mode because i cant get into the OS.

Thanks in advance!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nok6100:
In the development forum there is a sticky of stock roms, find the one that flashes KH3 with bootloaders, boogs kernel, and use it, it is a Odin program that does everything, bootloaders, repartitioning, and fresh install of gingerbread KH3. It also flashes a custom kernel which will give u CWM so u can reinstall MIUI.

Remember, don't pull ur battery next time :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] LarzGearbox:
Apologies if this is a daft question.

If I take a nandroid backup (with CWM) from a .32 based ROM and then upgrade to a .35 rom (Aurora), can I easily go back to the .32 ROM simply by restoring the backup??

Kind of looking for an insurance policy if I don't like .35 based ROMs.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
yes and no. You will need to downgrade back to 2.2 .32 kernel and reinstall the same cwm recovery version you made the backup with, then you can restore your backup. So yes, you could have your phone back to the way it was, but no you can't go straight back to your backup.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] deofavente:
I was able to restore Angry birds (with all my stars)and even my text message history from an Nandroid backup using Titanium Backup. With the Nandroid on the SDCard,open Titanium Backup (requires Root) Go to Backup/Restore. Press Menu key, Press "Extract from Nandroid backup". After that it should be pretty straightforward.

I hope this helps you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
Does android use a FAT32 file system? I was trying to transfer a 6 gb hd movie onto my phone . Apparently it's too big. Is there any way to change the file system?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
Yup, fat has a limit of I believe 4gb, this is why most torrents are split into multiple archive files.

For windows machines the only way I know around this is NTFS, but the phone won't read an SD card formatted in that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I'm going to be honest. Why were u transfering a 6 gig movie to ur phone. At these resolutions, even 720p h264 is a stretch, but I digress. Above poster is correct, inherent 4gb file limit of fat32 is present

please is there anyway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] musa13:
No, there is no way to place a file larger than 4 GB on a FAT32 file system. You could split file into 4 GB pieces but I am not sure how practical would this be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spinny40:
Seems crazy that they would limit the functionality of the phone like that since it will do 1080p.

Is there any special rom that would allow the sd card to be formatted to a useful file system!?
