Alright, found one more roadbump here that has to be addressed - looks like the phone reports itself differently for normal debug and for fastboot. So if you need to use fastboot, you'll have to boot the phone into the bootloader and then create a second filter for it in Virtualbox.
[G1 Android Development] shaneaus:
Thanks! I downloaded/installed VB last week and was planning on trying it out. Now, when I start working with it I'll know how to make it work!!

Subcribed to thread!

I realize this is an old thread and as such the situation may not completely apply, but I'm trying to get my Ubuntu 11.10 guest (Win7 host) access my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE) via adb and I'm failing. It works great in Win7, and I've tried everything in this thread. Virtualbox even looks like it gets the right USB device, but "adb devices" gives me nothing. Any suggestions?

Edit: a simple lsusb shows me that the USB devices (specifically, the phone) aren't being accessed by Ubuntu. So I'll investigate that some more.
[G1 Android Development] justlovejoy:
any news yet? I am using e4gt and just set up my repos now i need the device specific files to get it working for a test build. Thanks

Edit: the op trick worked. I am on lisa via virtualbox and adb crazy
[G1 Android Development] mateorod:
I cannot believe that this has been here for a year and no one thanked the OP.

Maybe its just common knowledge now, but I don't know anything about virtual machines and was going crazy. Seriously, I am running a nook here, and just found this by accident. Well written and clear, thanks a million.

Hi

Is there any backcover for Htc P3700 Diamond which would hide the back camera as i am not allowed to carry a camera phone in office and was thinking if we have a cover so i can use my phone in office too?

Its a 2G phone so only need to hide the back camera!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Goliath05:
you also have a camera at the front...

maybe also a "frontcover" :D

even with another cover, it's still a photo-mobilephone...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] salim1001:
As i mentioned above its a 2G phone so no camera in Front...but was hoping there would be some back cover that would hide the camera. Searched over the google but couldnt find anything.

Any other suggestions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] MarcLandis:
Well I guess that there is no cover like that but why not buying a normal one and then covering the hole with some plastic and glue?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] junglizt1210:
A bit of tape on the inside of the cover and then take a sharpie to the outside maybe?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nandobang:
Hello frontcode,

After you install HS++, enable it as a Today plugin. On your today screen, you'll notice some new information, like battery life and signal. Tap and hold to get the submenu, click on Tray Icons. Right above the bottom bar, there will be new icons, the middle one being WiFi. Click it and then on Turn on WLan.

Tell me if it work or not.

Cheers

Hey man,

That's pretty weird...

What do you think about flashing a new ROM?

When I used my Wizard with the original WM5 ROM it sucked... it was very slow, bad camera, bad signal, etc.

Read around the wiki about flashing and think of it.

Not trying to start a beef or cause a problem for anyone here. I'm just wondering. There was a thread last night that was about the Imagio/Whitestone and I finally connected with other people using it and someone gave me some helpful advice. I got up this morning and came to this forum to thank that person for their help and the thread says that its closed. What happened? Like I said, I'm not trying to cause any problems. I would just really like to know what the reason was and why it was shut down. Did we do something wrong? If we did I'd like to make sure that I don't make that mistake in the future. All constructive and positive comments are welcome.
[General Topics] DaveShaw:
Threads are normally closed when answered. Moderators normally leave a comment in closing, but sometimes, due to time constraints, real lifes issues, or because they think it's obvious, etc. they don't.

I've had to look for your thread, seen as though you didn't post a link ;). It looks like it was another discussion on the creation / search for a Whitestone forum. There is a Topaz CDMA section that covers that, so the matter is closed. I think in this case the moderator decided there was nothing more to discuss.

Thread closed (j/k'ing) :D

Dave
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
In my experience, a thread will usually be closed because:

It's been posted before. When somebody opens 5 identical threads in 5 different places all about the same thing, most of them will be closed and deleted.

The thread is quickly on its way to becoming a flame war, and mods close it to keep the peace.

It's spam. Spam threads will be closed and deleted.

It's redundant. The original poster will have asked a question which was answered in a Sticky, the wiki, or could have easily been found had they searched.

The thread has served its purpose, such as a question being asked, and nothing more needs to be added to the thread. I think this is probably what happened to the thread you mentioned.

The the original poster has requested it be closed for some reason.

It contains warez, or otherwise violates one of these rules.

Looks like Dave beat me to it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ea66:
Hi, there!

I'm having a nasty problem with my TD2 and have no idea what is going on.

The phone is working fine with the stock tom or any Manila 2.1/Titanium cooked rom.

The problem begins with any Manila 2.5 rom (believe me I tested them all).

I use activesync to synchronize my contacts, calendar and mail with Gmail. My typical contact consists of a name,surname, phone number,mail, birthday and a picture downloaded from facebook automatically.

Now when I flash a 2.5 rom, I do a hard reset two times, and synchronize with activesync. Then I go to the people tab to add favorites.

I add the first - everything is fine.

Second - ok

Third and manila dies completely after I select a particular detail on a contact.

I can go to start menu, lock the phone etc, but cannot return to home screen. After reseting the phone, everything is fine until I go to the people tab - selecting this hangs Manila.

Sometimes after doing a reset the people tab works but adding another favorite hangs it again.

What could cause this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] crispy514:
No idea what could cause, but the favourites I set up in manila 2.1 (and synced with Outlook) automatically come up when I first sync 2.5 with Outlook. I don't need to add them...

Might be some incompatibility with syncing to GMAIL
[Hero CDMA General] blake.arnold:
Hey All,

I just switched from my HTC Touch PRO to the HTC Hero. I use Sprint as a carrier and I am looking forward to getting used to the Android platform. My phone is running the following rom.

Firmware: 1.5

Baseband: 1.04.01.09.21

Kernel: 2.6.27-533ce29d

Build: 1.29.651.1

Software: 1.29.651.1

Anyhow, I was wondering if I could upgrade to 2.73.405.5 ROM. I know that this is available for Europe but I don't see it for US yet. Is there a big enough difference between ROMs that I would not be able to upgrade?

Thanks for the help in advance and I hope to be able to contribute to the community with so apps.
[Hero CDMA General] Tubes6al4v:
The problem with having the US version is that it is (correct me if I am wrong) the only CDMA android device so far. Although 1.6 Donut should have CDMA support, it was not included, so they opted to modify 1.5 to make it work. Anyway, the point is this:

1) we will see some official update in the next month or so from Sprint, HTC, or maybe android 1.6 (?)

2) We are all in need of root access to the phone to start getting some cool ROMs, the new radio, wifi-tether, etc
[Hero CDMA General] Lessthantito:
I second both of these I have been reading about problems with this phone and it seems to me that they are all related to the modification of the 1.5 rom to make CDMA work and to get it out to the consumer as soon as possible
[Hero CDMA General] paulobrien:
Can someone provide me with a Nandroid backup of the Sprint Hero ROM? If so, i'm happy to do a MoDaCo Custom ROM for it?

P
[Hero CDMA General] paulobrien:
Have we confirmed whether the kernel vulnerability is fixed on the Sprint Hero?

P
[Hero CDMA General] foxmeister:
As has been already stated, chances are if you "upgraded" to an EU ROM your phone wouldn't work any more due to lack of CDMA support in the EU builds.

However, thus far we've no evidence that the Sprint build is a "lower" build than the EU versions, as the build number sequence seems to be totally different. Apparently the Sprint Hero shipped with the Sense UI performance enhancements that we now have in EU 2.73 builds, so it seems to me you're unlikely to gain anything anyway. In fact, you'll just lose stuff like the Sprint specific apps.

Regards,

Dave

hey thers is a new system dump from sprint hero available here....can anyone tell me dat is dat possible for me to flash it on my phone...

http://www.androidspin.com/component/content/article/3-latest-news/169-new-sprint-hero-system-dump
[Hero CDMA General] foxmeister:
It's almost certainly just a dump of your existing ROM. As the thread you posted suggests, it's for devs only and you shouldn't attempt to flash it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iboj007:
Here is the original AT&T Blue Tabbed theme from the Tilt 2. Rename the file extension to .tsk and place in your windows directory.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ZzFDKzZ:
Weird its not letting me transfer the file to my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xnifex:
you don't even need to put it in the \Windows folder, just put it in \My Documents

I like the colors of the top & bottom bars (on TmoUS) but it makes the light blue network icons from tsowen's taskbar hardly viewable
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ZzFDKzZ:
Its weird it just won't let me transfer that file. Any thing else transfer except for this file.

I get an error saying:

Cannot copy item

The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.

But any other items after the message transfers with no problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xnifex:
did you make sure to change the extension to .tsk?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ZzFDKzZ:
Yes even changed the file to exe, doc, etc and my phone won't accept it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xnifex:
only other thing i can think of is to take your MicroSD card out, put it in your computer & move the file that way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ZzFDKzZ:
Thanks got it to load. But it just made the bottom bar blue nothing else changed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] htcfan78:
Extract the attached zip file on to your storage card, and copy the files to the Windows directory on your phone. Let me know if it works or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BrandonBaskin:
Change the extension to ".CAB" then execute into main memory. This will work. Worked for me.

Were you talking about the Win Mo themes or Manila/Sense themes?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Blackflip:
this is incredible.

my google apps have stopped working, so i can't access the market or gmail.

I have deleted all the data in the application, so that i can reenter my credentials, but now it won't connect via 3G, Gprs or Wifi. "no stable connection available"

meaning i can't install a backup app, so that i could do the hard reset and configure again.

i can't backup in restore mode, because i have the new ROM, so it fails.

What is wrong with android? retarded? why can't i backup from my PC?

I have been long enough on WMobile to know how not easy and not intuitive it can be,

but give me a break.

does anyone know a solution how i can make gmail and the market again without having to loose all my settings, apps etc...?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
Google never made a backup app.

Third party developers can not access the Google apps to back up the data within them, as they are closed source.

various other reasons....

looks to me like you are going to have to start from scratch... and watch out for that google apps thing, never clear the data on that thing cos you will get that exact error and HR is the only way out....

not fun, but there it is.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Blackflip:
thanks rhedgehog for your quick reply

Thing is that my Gmail app stopped working, it didn't sync anymore 1week+

i searched for solutions on the net, and found that alot of people succeded with deleting their gmail data, and reentering their credentials.

I thought android was finally the answer to a simpler way to use your phone, but this is a step back imho.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Blackflip:
solution

Well i found the cure to my disease...

i downloaded myBackup directly from the internet, and copied it to my SD-Card where i installed it from. made the backup, reset the device, installed myBackup again, recovered everything.

now Gmail, Market, etc works again, and i have all my apps and Data.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
just watch out when using that before an update. it's third party so there's no guarantee it will work across ROM updates...in fact i know some people had major problems with that over the 1.76 - 2.73 update.

Hi huys,

[General Topics] bemymonkey:
Hi everyone,

I'm getting a bit impatient waiting for the Leo, and I'm thinking about maybe getting a Topaz (Touch Diamond 2) instead - it's a lot cheaper right now than the Leo will be when it comes out (only 15€ a month instead of 20€) and they have the same screen res. However, I'm worried that the CPU in the Topaz might not be fast enough for what I want...

I don't need a lot of processing power (no games or anything like that), but I would like to be able to use it as a laptop-replacement when I'm at uni - so web browsing, ICQ/Skype and so on should work well and without any problems such as pages not loading/rendering properly.

Sadly I haven't been able to get my hands on a Touch Diamond 2 or Touch Pro 2 for testing (only at the store, and you can't really get online with the devices there), so I have to ask: How is the browsing? Do pages like Google Reader/Gmail/Google Calendar, Slashdot and other pages that are heavily scripted and/or AJAX based render quickly and reliably?

Has anyone compared the web browsing experience between a Snapdragon-based device and the other current-gen devices (Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2, Touch HD... they all use the same 528MHz processor, AFAIK)? Is the difference during web browsing really noticable, or is processor power not the bottleneck during rendering web pages?

Thanks in advance!
[General Topics] yuppime:
IMHO browsing on an Android is by far superior to anything else I've tried (iPhone or on the last place WinMob), but even on Android it happens that big pages over load the processor and browsing gets really poor even it the software behind the browsing task is good.

So I'd say you pay some extra attention to CPU as well, even if you're not a gamer, since it will make a difference when loading big pages (with lots of images, scripts, etc).

Just my 2 cents.
[General Topics] orelsi:
I'm using Opera Mobile 9.5 and it takes me 10 seconds to open Engadget. Skype in the background won't hurt at all. Just remember that a better CPU = better/faster overall experience and that includes browsing.

I have TD 2 (from a friend) for a couple of days and the browsing is fine. Some lagg with more tabs open, but not a show stopper.
[General Topics] bemymonkey:
Hmmm, I'm becoming less and less sure about getting another WM device - the Nokia N900 browser is freakin awesome... full embedded Flash support, insanely fast for a mobile browser, good keyboard. This is getting difficult :'(

I wonder what's faster: the Snapdragon in the Leo or the iPhone/N900 CPU...
[General Topics] Sc4Freak:
Snapdragon. The iPhone 3GS (and N900) uses a Cortex A8 600mhz, whereas the Snapdragon uses an A8-derived core at 1ghz.
