[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pooranimator:
Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section. Ok so here is my problem, I recently got Cyanogen 4.04 (Latest stable release) on my phone. I was gonna try out the overclock app from the App market but it doesn't let me open it because i'm not ROOT. I thought users are always ROOT in modded ROM, are they not? If not then what should I do to ROOT? I used the one click method for root at the begining (to install cyanogen) and Haykuro SPL Update. Thanks.

p.s I am a complete noob so please go slow.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
If you have used the 1-Click-Root method, did you follow the steps to type in telnetd using a terminal app? If not then I would go back and re-trace your steps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pooranimator:
Yes I did the telnetd thing. After rebooting clicking on an emptyspace then RETURN, wait, RETURN then telnetd which took me to the contact list. Then Home. Then I went to the terminal app and did the 4 step thing. But I did all that before flashing the Cyanogen for the first time. Now that I have Cynogen installed, if I try to Connect in telnet it gives me an error and if I try to do the 4 step thing in Terminal emulator it says "permission denied. (are you root?)". Please tell me what should I do?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
type su into the terminal emulator and see what is says. if you were able to flash a custom rom then your phone is rooted, you could've gotten a bad download.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
Download Better Terminal from the Maket and as david mentioned, type in "su" then press enter to see if you have root access.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikespy:
if nothing pops up upon entering su does that mean a new wipe and install is nessecary??

Reason i ask is i can't get the terminal emulator to work either that came with the build....is it the same thing as better terminal????. I used a one click install and everything is running fine on my 4.0.4 build but i tried earlier as well to install the "overclock" app from market and it wouldn't work. I decided to purchase SetCPU instead for a buck and it works no problem. By the way i have a my touch 3g..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
dont think the terminal emulator works w/o a physical keyboard

better terminal will get the job done, but not the same app. You can just use that instead of terminal

but if terminal does work w/o a physical keyboard, when you type su, what does it do?

if it asks to allow or deny, click allow. if you hit always deny, go to the superuser app and erase all settings.

if it doesnt ask anything, when you type su, it should drop one line and have this symbol #
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikespy:
Thanks for the help....

I actually did download better terminal and when i typed in su and hit enter. It went to the screen your talking about and since i had just installed SetCPU it asked if i wished to allow i clicked yes. So i asume i have rooted correctly and guess the "overclocking" program on the market might just not download on my phone correctly with the cyan 4.0.4.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pooranimator:
Thanks

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I think I know what the problem was. The OverclockWidget is a Widget...duh silly me. I was trying to open it as a regular app and was failing. Added it as a widget on the first screen and now everything works. I have one quick unrelated question, while downloading the latest experimental release of Cyanogen I read at the bottom of the post in read that the users should not use any Apps2SD while using Cyaogen's latest release because the ROM does it by itself or something like that. What does that mean?

@mikespy- tap and hold for a sec on your screen and add the OverclockWidget widget on your screen then tap to open. That's how you open the OC util.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] draven11722:
hello, I recently purchased the tp2 and love it so far. I have done a number of tweaks to the phone with no issues except for the tethering one. I followed the instructions that are given to tether which included deleting and editing some registry entries but i am having an odd problem. When i go the the internet sharing program and i hit the connect button, nothing happens. the "connect" button goes gray for a couple of second the returns to white for me to press it again. the status says disconnected and never changes.

I tried a number of things such as:

1.soft reset

2.reinstalled the internet sharing and edited the reg again

3.opened a connection with my web browser first

from what i understand is that the next step after "connect" would be a prompt that says "connect your usb cable" or something like that.

Has anybody run into this problem? Can anybody give me any advise?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] lawyer1333:

Make sure your Data connection is active( in connections under settings) before you try to tether

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] evilkneedle:
tp2 tethering

you dont need to make any registry changes for tethering to work. sprint doesn't see the data any differently(i have been streaming netflix through my phone to my laptop for a while). try a hard reset. with phone off hold power send call and end call buttons simultaneously until reset screen appears. follow instructions on the screen. also are you selecting phone as modem or sprint for the connection? be sure it is set to sprint. i ran into a similar issue and needed to call sprint to have them reset my data connection password and i updated profile afterwards and it worked fine. hope this helps.

I have tried the reg edit and it works for a while and then the phone will just power off like a soft reset.Has anyone have this issue and anyone have solutions

Thank you
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jmt3z4:
I found it easiest to use the XDA-Tom Codon wifi cab for tethering. It enables you to use your phone as a wireless router for your computer and Sprint cannot see it. It works very well for me and its very fast, the only downfall is it runs your battery down considerably.....
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cko:
i installed that cab and couldn't find anywhere to turn it on or set anything. where did u find it after installing?

Tethering vs WIFI use

Hi All,

First time poster here.

I have a new HTC TP2 on Sprint and love the phone. But when it comes to tethering, I have a few questions.

I finally got "Internet Sharing FIX" to work. It took a few connects of the cable to start it working.

When I installed "XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA" it seems to work but the data connection keeps dropping. Soft resets do nothing. A hard reset worked. But again after install the Internet Shareing FIX then Tom's WIFI sharing, the issue reappeared again.

It seems like these 2 cannot exist together on the phone. Is this true?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] i2nd2none:
try this

install these: in order as posted make sure to soft reset after each cab
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] i2nd2none:
my bad here you go:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] osiris12:
Thanks i2nd2none. I'll give that a try.

I was using

1. Internet Sharing FIX.cab

2. XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab

in that order.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] i2nd2none:
ur welcome let me know if it worked..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gario:
Which rom are you using? With a custom rom, does one experience these problems? I'd like to tether directly rather than wifi sharing. Does one do this with a custom rom and the above applications installed?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] crites:
I am current using WiFi sharing on my TP2 with no problems from my home computer or iPod Touch but it doesn't work with my work computer due to it being locked down. :-(

If In install these three programs witll it allow me to direct connect via a USB cable?

Thnx.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flexnix:
Looking at Thursday. My G1 has recently started to have issues with its hardware keyboard. I've decided to upgrade. I've recently been reading around researching, etc. So far...

1) I see two methods of Rooting. Either Anon_Ra's method (Gold card. :( ) or the One-step method with the security exploit. Other than the simplicity, is the one step method safe? I'd do the gold card since I'll have an 8GB and a 4GB card handy. I also have a 512MB card.

2) Can Cyanogen's Pimped Out Recovery 1.4 run on the MT3G?

3) When I first get the MT3G shall there be any radio or SPL updates before even touching rooting?

4) What is HBoot?

5) I'd like to run A2SD, and with Cyanogen's Pimped Out Recovery console I can partition a card within 2-3mins. If C:POR doesn't work on the MT3G what will?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
Just out of interest, why don't you get a Hero rather than a MT3G? If I was upgrading from a G1 I think that would be my choice.

Anyhow, here are my opinions:

1) The one step method seems to be safe. I haven't seen any threads from people bricking their phones using the one step method.

2) Maybe. I'm using Amon_RA's recovery image which does all the same stuff.

3) No - read the sapphire hacking wiki, your questions are answered in there! - its a sticky thread at the top of the rom development board

4) What is HBoot? Indicates the type of SPL you have installed

5) The Amon_RA recovery image can partition your card like this. But you don't need to use A2SD on the MT3G. It has more than enough space for app and cache storage on the phone (which will provide faster read/write than storing it on the sd card). It even has enough space for a swap file on the phone storage rather than a dedicated swap partition.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sharktamer:
After the new announcement for push email on the iphone using microsoft exchange, I have become interested in attempting this on my hero.

I know I can add gmail accounts to both the gmail app and the mail app on the hero, but there is a reason I want to try the exchange method. The gmail app gets push email, but the mail app doesn't. However, I much prefer the mail app on the hero, along with the mail widget. If using this method will work, it can mean I can use the mail app, along with push gmail.

Has anyone tried to add their gmail account to their hero using this method? I've tried, but it says it is unable to add the account. The account is verified successfuly, it just cannot be added. I'm not sure whether or not this is a temporary issue.

Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tsekh501:
I was unable to add an exchange account (gmail) this afternoon, but I am now able to do so. Probably too many people rush to try that earlier today.

I added my second gmail account as an exchange account, and then set sync frequency as "as items arrive" i.e. push. Emails indeed arrive very quickly.

The problem is, I cannot send email! I tried composing a new mail, or replying to a received email. After I press "Send", the mail app acted like the email was sent but the other side never it. What's more, I couldn't find the email I sent in the "Sent" or "Out" or "Draft" folders. Manually refreshing the account doesn't seem to work either. I don't know if this is the problem of the mail app, or the problem with gmail's server.

Another problem is, com.htc.provider got force closed very frequently... although it has no problem restarting itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tsekh501:
Okay, now I realize the com.htc.provider problem is caused by Peep rather than Google Sync http://bit.ly/5uWoi

The problem about sending email still exist though, and some of my received emails are getting "error" as their subjects, although the bodies of the emails display fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deleted member 2044343:
Its the same for me:

* sent emails never received by the other side, ... :-(

* some emails have "error" as their sender instead of the correct email adress :-(

Any ideas for solution are welcome.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] lsim001:
I have the same problem. Maybe there's something wrong with Google's IMAP service? I have restored to an old backup just in case it was a settings issue but it still doesn't work.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] lsim001:
Tried using the HTC Mail app and IMAP for Gmail seems to be working just fine. But the Google Mail app is still not working.

Any idea how to set the IMAP setting for the Google Mail app manually?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tsekh501:
Don't mix up IMAP with Exchange (Google Sync).

IMAP for Gmail (or Google Apps) has been working perfectly for me, but IMAP does not support push.

Exchange Server for Gmail (or Google Apps) supports push and push email works fine. But it has problem sending out emails and some emails received has "error" as their subjects.

Why is Exchange Server for Gmail useful? Well, it is useful if you have more than one Gmail/Google Apps account (my first one is my personal Gmail account, and the second one is my university's Google Apps email account) The built in Gmail app support push, but it only support one account. Before Google enabled Exchange Server for Gmail yesterday, the only way to set up the other Gmail account is to set it up as a IMAP account. Now I can set it up as an Exchange Server account to get push email, however it is having problem mentioned above... I am not sure if this is a problem with Gmail's server or a problem with the HTC mail app.

To set up IMAP for Google App, just set it up as normal Gmail (i.e. imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com, yes SSL), and enter the whole Google App email address as your username.

To set up Exchange for Gmail or Google App, use m.google.com as sever name and leave domain blank. Enter your Google account username and password, and if you are using Google App, enter the whole email address as username as above.

almost certainly. Mine started out being unresponsive in landscape mode (just suddenly stopped responding to touch) and then ended up black screening whenever i slid it open.

see pic 1 for what is probably happening. I've done the fix in pic 2 myself (although i've put felt on BOTH sides now) but if you have warranty then use it of course!!

HTH!

btw I think most X1 users are going to "Xperience" this at some point. I did nothing unusual to my device other than use it! Maybe Sony have addressed it since (mine was bought in January) but I doubt it....

i have the x1a (us version) and just called the xperia hotline and i sent it in. they didnt ask me for proof of purchase. i have already sent my xperia once before to repair the cracks in the body and keyboard.

im surprised as to how defective it is from normal usage. it seems very sturdy at first. i guess its also because i have never kept a phone for that long. i usually switch every two months.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luongx1:
man the same exact thing happened to me today as well. first problems were when sliding out the keyboard to text someone and trying to press the send key during landscape display which wasn't registering so i had to close phone up to hit send. then later as u open the phone into landscape the screen was no longer responsive in that display.

then came the black screen when opened but if u hit the power button on during with the phone opened the picture would come out. now finally my phone has no image at all with the phone opened and can only work in portrait mode :(

i've had my x1 for about 10 months now so its still under warranty but man am i seriously disappointed with this. most likely they'll replace my ribbon with same cheap one and have to deal with this problem again in a couple of months.

Hello overyone, I just bought off a old x1 which had the same problem. It was my 3rd phone. And i have replaced many screens. For now my conclusion is its the flex cable between the screen/buttons/touchscreen etc.....

you can buy them on ebay for about 28 dollars(incl. shipping)

Most of the time it is not the screen/touchscreen. Its the flex cable connecting it all.

see picture of the part i mean:

(search google for: "x1 flex cable"

Before opening phone: please be sure how to open it. Because it maybe very tricky to open if you are unexperienced!!!!!
