[HD2 General] RoN_HD2:
Whenever I download & view an online youtube video I'm not sure what player is being used? After selecting a video to watch I'm then presented with a screen that gives me 3 options. These are: Open, Save & Cancel.

I always select open, I then have to wait maybe 2 or 3 mins until the video downloads. Then a player opens up and I'm able to watch the video. After watching the video I then select an icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen which gives me the options to either Delete or Remove All Finished. I always select delete. Although this has implications mentioned in another of my threads regarding storing these video files in a folder on the phone (see other thread).

The player that the phone is using I know is not Windows Media Player. But what is it? On my old Omnia i900 after selecting a video to watch, Media Player immediately opened up and began buffering the video. After probably 10 seconds at the most I was then able to watch the video. I didn't have to wait 2 or 3 minutes to actually download the file.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hi all, has anyone been able to get a custom rom that has ArcSoft installed on it to send out MMS messages? I have been running ryans rom for a few months and just recently had to send out a MMS. I thought this crap was fixed by now.

Needless to say the recipient didn't get the MMS and then I tried to email to a gmail account via mms and same deal nothing showed up.

Hey guys. So a little while ago I downloaded an app with Navigation for Europe and where you can download your maps so you don`t have to use data plan.

I tried searching here, but did not find anything much....

Do you guys have any idea? Thank you!

[G1 Apps and Games] Hellek:
or give "MapDroyd" a try. if it works, its probably better than the others, since it uses vector data (most of the others just store the map tiles, which are just plain image files, very huge if you want all zoom levels). Last time I tried it, MapDroyd worked well.

Just maps though, no searching or routes. If you want that, you have no other options than payware (Copilot, Mobile Maps, NDrive, etc.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
Yes I have searched for an answer but cannot find one. I am rooted but decided to update my 1.2.3 to the 1.5.2 recovery image. I am going back through the steps in the wonderful guide "theresthatguy" put out and when I try to push the image to the card it says that it is a read only file system. So now what? I tried just moving it over in Windows then flashing it but it says file not found when I do that. Help anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
Really? I figured this would be easy for someone or are we spending to much time on all the drama. Just looking for help. This is what forums are for right? Sharing knowledge.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
format your card and make sure your rooted first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mountaindont:
sorry your being neglected buddy

im trying to wade through the threads and help sort out the problems

are you using the flashrec method? thats the easiest way.

hope i helped.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] MrDanger:
You can also just mount the sd card and copy and paste. There is also a newer recovery image out. 1.6.2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
I have never been able to use the push to sd method I just move them to the sd card through win and then continue as far as not being able to see it you need to make sure that you

cd/sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

wait till you get # then

reboot recovery

I would suggest going to 1.6.2 though
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
Thank you for the replies. I did the flashrec method origionally because I was having the same problems. Now the flashrec just shows an error and cannot do anything with it. I tried reloading with no luck. I did a format but maybe I messed it up. I didn't know which one to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
sounds weird, you are rooted already right? maybe try a different sd card perhaps?

I am rooted. I get a # when connected to adb. I guess I will just keep messing with it. I am going to try the 1.6.2 though. Thanks. By the way? how do you format your card? I don't see that option.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SchmediumTux:
I'm reading this of my phone so there may be a solution already, but here is another idea.. If you can get to tyre market.. Download ROM manager, flash their recovery image from within the app

then towards the bottom there is an option to flash the 1.6 RA.. It worked on my wife's phone when I couldn't get adb to work loading 1.5 RA

[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
if your in the new recovery, choose option wipe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
Ok, thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
also if you flash a rom that supports app2sd make sure you format and partition your sd card in recovery as well. you want swap/ext2/fat, you can allocate the size for each.

me i have 96mb swap / 1024 ext2 / and the rest in fat
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
I don't have the swap/ext2/fat option. Mine says fat32+ext2=swap
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
no go into recovery and create a partition. it should go in order of swap/ext2/fat. you can also convert your ext2 to ext3 or 4 as well. are you saying it isn't giving you that option?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
Correct. I don't have a create partition option. Hoping to get that with new recovery image.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
oh yeah, you have to install the new recovery first. follow that guide i gave you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mskinner:
So I downloaded this (The ROM Manager)and saw where you would do it but it was darked out and couldn't select it. Boo
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
You might download Fresh Kitchen and do it from there. I actually did it from 1.5.2 to 1.6.2.....

I would put 1.6.2 on there as there are more options than 1.5.2

I had the same problem when I was trying to put 1.5.2 on my phone. Gave up on it that night and went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and tried again and it worked..
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
If for some reason I have to send my phone back to tmo for replacement can I just hard reset my phone and send it back with no problems. Still got the stock ROM. How does warranty tie into the insurance?

I have several cabs installed onto my phone including bsb tweaks and cookies something.

T-Mobile USA
[HD2 General] dursty:
Umm.. of course not. If cabs voided your warranty then that would mean that any software you installed to your phone would void the warranty which is silly. That being said changing the stock ROM might cause an issue so putting the stock ROM back would probably be wise if sending it back to t-mobile for some reason.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
even a cooked rom shouldnt be an issue. Its HSPL that voids warranties.
[HD2 General] atlp99:
According to the warranty terms, installing cabs (programs) does not void the warranty, but flashing a non stock ROM does.

Now, with that said if your phone is bricked and will not boot T-mobile would probably replace it under warranty. I can not guarantee it but I know the with bricked android devices i have seen sent in they have not gotten returned or charged the out of warranty fee, even after being rooted.

[HD2 General] RKnight1983:
even HSPL will not void your warranty if your smart, all you have to do is just remove it and flash back to the stock ROM and your good to go for replacements, warranty etc etc. I had to do that a few devices ago when I needed a replacement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] havoline:
My old Touch Pro I liked alot as an upgrade from the att 8525. But then I fell in the pool ruining it, caved in and bought the iphone because was only thing powerful/cheap/convinent enough to do the job. Big mistake what job its for screwing around mainly and only if you are willing to pay for it.

Needed a phone that could do the job seriously and paid the full amount to get the tilt2 before getting over to Iraq, soooooooo worth it was happy and still happy. But am using still the 8 Gig microsd card from other phone and am using alot of memory for songs, pics, programs, games, and movies. My main concern is I want to upgrade to a 16 Gig because its very affordable and I know it will be worth it but I have so much software tied into this microsd card and so much its hard to keep track of it. IF, I copy and paste every single thing from the 8 gig to the 16 gig and put in my device will everything still work? SO that I do not have to reinstall everything all over again (have 3-4 tweek programs along with several mods and probably 50-60 games/tools/apps all I got for free ,including the mighty coreplay,power of the windows).

so thoughts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
As long as you copy everything over, it should work just fine. When I still used my Kaiser, I simply copied every file of my 1GB card to my 8GB card and everything worked fine afterwards. Though before you copy anything, you might want to make sure you can view both protected operating system files and hidden files in Windows Explorer, so you know you're copying everything (that or just right click the card in My Computer and choose copy).

The only problems you might run into are with applications that come on an SD card and don't want to be moved (such as IGO) and pay applications who use the SD card's serial number as an anti-copy protection measure. However, the last scenario is rarely used with applications that install to the SD card (as opposed to coming pre-installed on the card), so you shouldn't run into any problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
I have also just copied from one sd to another without any issues, but as Dave mentioned above...make sure that any hidden files are shown so that you know that you aren't missing anything.

Switching gears (off topic)...

What branch of the service are you in??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] havoline:
excellent

see you cant do this with an iphone. yes you can back things up but again all that time wasted doing stuff.

after I get home gonna go to europe so need more room to pack more music, movies, and programs to keep me safe since I am not taking my laptop (phone can do it all).

but have another issue I am sure people are having: camera. When I first got it it took really descent pictures as long as you didnt smudge the plastic cover protecting the camera lense. But now there are tiny little scratches that make any picture I take really fuzzy and discolored and never sharp unless I take the entire back off which is becoming routine. Is there a solution besides literally ripping that plastic see thru cover off the back, or do they make tilt2 covers with actual glass so it might list longer??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
I am not sure, but if there is one, I bet someone mentioned it in this sub-forum. Good luck...and report back if you find an answer. ;)

I am lokking forward to solve the same problem. I have seen that deice with android 2.3.2 have the possibility to connect to internet through

Do you think it is the only way to sove the problem? Thank you

Yes, I would like to connect my HTC Legend (android 2.2) to the internet via the usb socket without any wifi adapter. Phones with android 2.3.2 allow that (when you connect them to a PC you can choose that option), my doesn't.

Thank you for your suggestion. It can be useful anyway.

I'm starting to drive myself crazy here because I successfully did this once. Here's my issue, I've been playing around with Cyanogen Mod and I was doing some tweaking and for whatever reason I got stuck in a reboot loop. Well, since I couldn't get anything else to work, I wiped my SD:Ext using:

`mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2`

After that, I installed Enomther`s [ROM] TheOfficial Nexus1 - v1.8.1, Release 1.8.1 and everything seemed to be working fine. For some reason, I got in a reboot loop so I did a nand restore and went back to the stock 2.1 Android OS (ERE27). Unfortunately now I can't get anything to work again. Here's what I'm running into, when I open a shell, mke2fs is no longer a command nor does "mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd" work as mount gives me a "usage" error. I don't know what all this talk is about /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" is but that doesn't exist. All I have in /dev/block is mmcblk0 and mmcblk0p1. When using the mount command, I do change mmcblk0p2 to an mmcblk* that exists in /dev/block/.

I'm really at a loss here because all I want to do is wipe my SD card like the guides tell me to so I can reflash my rom but I can't figure it out. These mount and mke2fs commands worked the last time I tried to do this but right now I'm stuck

I was deciding whether or not to move to Ubuntu.

I'm wondering if these things will work:

ADB

Microsoft Office

Adobe products

Opera/Chrome

HP wireless Printer

Drivers for my HP laptop.

I'm mainly worried about ADB, and Microsoft Office. Will I have to learn new things, any things i should know?

Oh yah I will be doing a fresh install no paritioning, as my computer is only 150gb mem.
[Hero CDMA General] funcrusher:
Hmmm...

I have zero experience with it, but I was thinking about running a ubuntu virtual machine on my new laptop. (Sorry for mentioning my new laptop two posts in a row.)
[Hero CDMA General] momoceio:
Why not just run Linux inside a VM for a while...or permanently. You can run MS Office with Wine or Crossover Office and some Windows programs can be run through Wine. However, it's probably easier to just run a Linux VM or run Windows inside a VM on Linux.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
id say no, i love android and webos and they are linux but linux on the pc IMO just sucks . windows 7 all the way! if you want to dabble in linux i recommend ubuntu in a VM.
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
I duel boot mint which is built off ubuntu and adb works fine just have to download the linux version. all of my laptop drivers worked out of the box. open office is free and was made for linux and will read any of the microsoft office docs and save them in microsoft doc format.

thats funny, usually 7 installs the needed drivers automatically. :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
ADB will work once set up properly.

Microsoft Office will be a no go, but you'll have options like Open Office.

Older versions of Photoshop function through Wine. Last I checked CS4 was still buggy.

Firefox will likely be your browser of choice.

Your results may vary with hardware drivers... most everything is supported with a default Ubuntu Install.

If you are to start off, I'd recommend Ubuntu as your starting point. Absolutely the most user friendly distro.
[Hero CDMA General] momoceio:
32 of 64 bit? What model pc/laptop do you have?
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
you could try it with the wubi installer. It installs like a program with windows so it is easier to remove, but you still get to boot to it (without losing windows boot loader) so it is much better than a VM.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
why is this thread even in the hero section? maybe go to neowin and ask there.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
What version of Windows are you using. If you are running Vista Pro or Windows 7 you can use Microsoft's VM. If not you could download Sun Virtual Box. Right now I am using Sun VM, but am looking for something else, because it won't let me make the OS in the VM Fullscreen. So far I haven't used the VM for anything, but I know it is alot easier to edit the boot.img and kernal if you really want to. That is my next thing to learn as I am in the process of making my own ROM.

Best suggestion I have is.......

before wiping your hard disk and installing Ubuntu, download a VM and install it in there. Once in there you can download everything you want to use and see how well you like it.
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
hey, vmware player will let you go fullscreen. but if ya just want linux, i'm telling ya, wubi is the way to go.
[Hero CDMA General] illogic6:
I must admit it looks intriguing. Testing it on my netbook now.
[Hero CDMA General] superlinkx:
Yeah, I recommend you try a VM, or at the most dual boot. You could do a cross between the two, which doesn't require partitions. You can use the program Wubi, which comes on their official discs and install ubuntu inside windows, but it will run as a secondary boot. For the most part, this method gives you full access to your computer, but won't be able to hibernate in ubuntu. Its also not as fast as a real install and you are limited to 30 gigs, but if you decide you no longer want it, you can uninstall it from windows.
[Hero CDMA General] BonkyMoon:
I'd start off with an Ubuntu Live CD. Just burn it and boot with it. It'll give you the option of installing if you want to, but it's not required at all.

That way you can get a feel for Linux and see if it's really something you want to commit to.

If you like it, then you can install it; and if you don't like it then you're only out one CDR.

Photoshop will be pretty much a no-go except through Wine; you may have to get comfortable with The Gimp.

MS Office is not something I'd bet on having working; OpenOffice is the native solution.

I'd imagine ADB works fine, the others here know better than I do.

There's a version of Opera for Linux, and a beta version of Chrome for Linux as well.

Drivers are usually the weak spot with Linux if you have really new hardware. If your stuff is a year or two old you should be fine, drivers will most likely download pretty much automatically or will otherwise be easy to get; the Live CD will be a good test of this.
