Excuse me what's tmous ?

i have a T-Mobile HTC HD2

and SPL-2.10 .... how to HSPL this ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
TMOUS = T-Mobile USA ;)

spl 2.10.0000 can't be hspl'd, you'll need to downgrade your rom again so that you can get spl 2.08.0000.

ok this my issue when i try to gin root acces in the terminal emulator and i enter su < enter >

and it say denied.

but when i goto console it does it fine with no problems. why is this ?

i dont thonk its cause of cm5 stable. ill keep toying with it and ill see wut happens. thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neumanntm:
I've been having a similar problem on my rooted HTC Aria. I also tried to to gain SU access in Terminal Emulator, but it says it's denied. I recently noticed how ignorant I was (speaking for myself). To get SuperUser access in Terminal Emulator, you have to put in "su" instead of the default capitalized "SU". So just put in the lowercase one (su) and you have SuperUser rights!

Google voice has the option to ask which route to take before each call. How can I implement a similar feature in my own application?

I am able to catch the event in a BroadcastReceiver, but that doesn't seem to be the right place to trigger a dialog.

Is there another way to do this that I am missing?

Thanks!

I just rooted my phone to the newly released Eclair ROM and I was wondering if I could customize the boot animation, and if so, if there was a BttF2 boot movie.

Please let me know

Which part of the movie? You can edit the bootanimation to be whatever you want.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shidell:
Does Android support automatically scaling CPU speed on devices to conserve power when it isn't needed?

For example, mobile CPUs in laptops and netbooks do this automatically (as long as enabled), scaling a CPU's clock in order to conserve battery life.

This seems like a no-brainer for a mobile OS, yet I don't believe this is actually implemented, so I'm looking for input on the topic.

Comments?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shidell:
I'm rather surprised--no comments on this topic?

Wanted to give EVO 4G owners/potential owners a heads up regarding a pretty serious issue with the included SD cards - have a look: Is HTC EVO 4G About To Be Launched With A Massive Defect In The Included 8GB MicroSD Card?
[EVO 4G General] emac11:
Oh great. I should've waited for things like this to develop before preordering. Hope it's nothing major. :mad:
[EVO 4G General] jeffla:
To be fair, it wouldn't be a true HTC phone without some sort of major defect.

Several people seem to have it on the Android forums for the Evo: http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g...disappearing-defect-included-8gb-microsd.html

Really hope this doesn't become a major problem.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I don't consider a SD card problem a "massive defect". If it was the slot or the phone then yes. I'm sure HTC will replace the cards no problem. I already have my own card so? Why you people seem to be freaking out of this its nothing. BIG DEAL.
[EVO 4G General] emac11:
Well it may not be the cards that is the problem. It could be a hardware issue where due to the awkward positioning of the card the phone doesn't read it sometimes, which would be a significant problem that would near impossible to fix.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
I haven't experienced any problems.
[EVO 4G General] clubtech:
I use my own 16GB card and dont have any problems. Maybe the shipped card is bad - but it is not a device deffect.
[EVO 4G General] ruskiyab:
I had that exact same problem with a 4gb card from microcenter in my hero until one day, it completely died. After I replaced the card, the problem went away. It's probably just the card.
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
I remember the 5/19 engadget review mentioned:

"The microSD card lives underneath the battery, so we'd probably recommend just getting a nice big one (good luck finding a 32GB!) and leaving it put -- especially since HTC has chosen one of the most unusual slot designs we've ever seen on a phone. Basically, the card rests loosely in a trench and is secured using a plastic peg overhead; press it down to hold the card in place. A fingernail is enough to pop the peg up again, and the card just falls right out. It's such a bizarre design that we can only assume it was necessitated (versus, say, a conventional spring-loaded slot) by virtue of the EVO's tightly-packed circuitry. Nothing a good, old-fashioned teardown won't definitively answer, we're sure."

So is this a hardware or officially resolved software or combo issue or will we not really know until after the June 4th launch :eek: (asks an eager beaver;))?
[EVO 4G General] Archon810:
First of all, we still don't know what the issue is exactly - hardware, software, or a combination of the two.

And if the problem is widespread, new EVO users, who may not be tech savvy or have spare SD cards, will not be happy and this is the publicity HTC doesn't need.

And finally, if it is a bad batch, I'd like to know how HTC plans to address it and what we would need to do to get the fix.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:

[EVO 4G General] shep211:
No issues with my nexus one 4 gb card. I will try formatting the 8 gb and try again.
[EVO 4G General] vanshmack:
Geez...It's a freaking storage card. You gotta love the hysteria that results when a story is headlined with the words "Massive Defect".

A massive defect would be "half the screen goes dead when used in temps of 70 F or higher" or "phone bricks when you install a memory manager".
[EVO 4G General] emac11:
Again, if you bothered to read the article or prior posts before commenting, you'd know that nobody knows the root of the problem. It is not necessarily a faulty storage card. It could also be a problem with the hardware where the memory card does not stay connected to the phone, which would be a major issue, and replacing the memory card would not solve it. I know I'd be very upset if every time I wanted to take a picture the phone told me there was no available memory card to save it to. It also could be a software problem, which hopefully should not be too difficult to solve.

According to a poster on the Android forums,

"I contacted sprint about this problem tonight, they told me they knew about it already. Sprint said the only phones that have this problem are the ones that google gave to their employees and to the reviewers. It was a software issue,apparently the issue was only with the first 2,000 phones google gave out. With the phones being released on June 4th, the software issue is resolved. I am switching form the Crap pre to the HTC Evo 4G, and I am glad to now be a part of Android Forums. Thanks guys and have a good night."

http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g...sappearing-defect-included-8gb-microsd-2.html

So let's hope that is the case, but who knows how reliable either the guy is or the person he talked to at Sprint. We'll have to wait and see if it happens to us.
[EVO 4G General] Dreddge:
LOL. True. If its a software issue, its as easy as an update or two. SD Cards are dirt cheap nowadays, so i dont see what the issue is.
[EVO 4G General] cmart4:
massive defect? thats a lot of drama...
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
$40-60 for 16 gb and 100-150 for 32 gb is cheap?
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
Ouch. That would have to make ponying up the big bucks on eBay and craigslist to get the phone early sting a little bit. At least it is a software issue that should be corrected for the uber-early adopters soon.
[EVO 4G General] myth_mn:
I have a class 6 16GB card in mine and I have seen this once... reboot and the problem went away... doesn't seem to be a big deal to me.
[EVO 4G General] emac11:
If it happens once, no it's not a big deal. When it happens frequently, like many people have reported it happening, then it's a big deal. Most people have said it happens once and they don't think anything of it, but then it starts happening more and more often.

Imagine your kid/niece/nephew/friend/pet is doing something hysterical and you want to capture a picture of it, but you go to take a picture and it gives you this error, so you're stuck rebooting the phone and trying to take the picture a few minutes later. By then the moment will be lost and you'll have lost your chance at a memorable picture. So I think it is a pretty big deal to anyone who actually plans on using the camera.
[EVO 4G General] Archon810:
You don't think it's a massive defect? Think about a consumer that gets the phone, without knowing anything about it. Once they start hitting the problem, if the problem is not fixed by then, what do you think they will think?

If we get a confirmation that it's the SD card, then sure - what's the contingency plan to replace them? People have swapped SD cards and hit the same issue - are you still sure it's the card?

If it's software, that's great - but will HTC and Sprint fix it in time for launch and avoid unnecessary customer frustration?

Yes, it's massive because the SD card is part of the phone package, and if anything related to writing to it doesn't work, in the eyes of the consumer, it's a fail no matter whose fault it is.
[EVO 4G General] misticjeff:
I've read elsewhere that Sprint have acknowledged the issue and claim that it only affects approx. 2000 of the first phones to be released to reviewers and Google I/O attendees.

I personally have seen it a couple of times on my phone but it's not troublesome.

I've also read that Hero owners have had the issue since day one and continue to have it.
[EVO 4G General] newone757:

[EVO 4G General] VoXHTC:

[EVO 4G General] srtpusher:
yep, shouldn't be an issue on the release version.
[EVO 4G General] Dreddge:
Yes. When relating to the price of a new phone...40-50 is cheap. However, I was talking about replacing the 8gig card that is in question. So $20 or so....
[EVO 4G General] Impulses:
I hope they replace the cards if some of the batches sold by Sprint are also affected... Sure it's only worth $20 but that's not chump change and it's actually a pretty nice bonus that the EVO comes w/an 8GB card when most phones come w/1-4GB cards. I already have my own Class 6 card but I also already had in mind a use for the included card (was gonna give it to my mother for music storage in her Acura).
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
I have done some testing and I looks like the original 8gb cards are the issue. I have used a 4gb card from my n1 and have not had any issues. If I put the 8gb card in i get the error with in 20 mins.
[EVO 4G General] Xenithflare:
This is the root of the problem: if nobody knows whether it's a simple SD card failure, or a major hardware failure, WHY HEADLINE IT AS A MAJOR DEFECT? That is the very definition of the phrase "blowing things out of proportion." Especially when it can be tested by a simple swapping of the SD card, which many people have done and reported no errors?

[EVO 4G General] emac11:
The OP titled the thread "Is the Evo about to be launched with a massive defect?" Not "The Evo is going to be launched with a massive defect!" Since nobody knows the root of the problem, the OP was raising a point that it could be released with a massive defect, and if this problem does affect all or most Evos, it will be a massive defect.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Hmmm...I'd say this isn't a big deal, either way.

First, we have several posters who have seen confirmation of this as a known issue for Sprint, with a specific batch of devices. Remember, these are the same devices that don't have full-functionality, per the early reviews and Google IO attendees. Should we really be surprised that an early batch has some odd defect? Nope. Frankly, I'm surprised IO folks haven't seen more issues on their pre-release EVO's.

If the issue is with the SD card itself: whopee, i just got a nice, fresh, 8 gig card replacement card for free. I am sure either Sprint or HTC will replace any defective cards from their flagship device. How many of us will actualy use the included 8 gig card, long-term? Most folks around here seem to be ordering 16 or 32 gig cards, such as myself. 8 gig cards are sooo 2009.

Third, if the issue is software, an update for a FLAGSHIP device should be coming soon, from either HTC or Sprint.

Finally, if it's hardware, you bet they will allow you to bring your phone in for (hopefully) a quick fix or a full replacement.

If you think about it, giving away a flagship device to IO folks may have been a brilliant move on Sprint/HTC's part. Think about it: they gave away a hotly-anticipated device to people that would put it through it's paces and immediately post any issues on forums like XDA. That would give Sprint/HTC time to hopefully fix any small issues, and prepare for any major issues.

What say you?
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I'm with you on this...the issue of 5,000 beta test units to knowlegeable individuals was sheer genius.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
Its 100% the 8gb card. I tested for 1 full day with my 4g card from my n1 with no issues. I put the 8gb card back in and had issues in 20 mins. I have formatted the 8gb card and have not had any issues.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I consider a "Massive Defect" something like "Our blow out preventor doesn't work". They do know what the problem is seems to be a issues with the storage media.

I'd agree that your title is excessive. My point is its not "Massive" its at most a $20 memory card. Just causing hysteria when you post something like that.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
No ****! That's for sure! :D
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
well, i just bought the A-DATA 16 GB Class 6 microSDHC Flash Memory Card just in case. I haven't got my EVO yet and my wife already hate it, lol
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Some people can really get their undies in a twist can't they?

Until more people report the real problem it's just a guessing game. A poster said it was just a matter of formatting the card or replacing the card. Ozcar news reporting that the Micro Sd was difficult to remove. They posted a video but what he failed to do before using the tweezers to remove the SD card was use his finger nail and pull from the lip of the SD card. That is why they have a lip on it.

So they report the problem could be from design, etc. Blah..
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
I don't know man , i've got mine anyways, if the 8 gig works, i will use it as backup
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Exactly. I have a class 6 16GB ready for it. It came from my Touch HD that I sold. No biggie.

Nothing to cause a MASSIVE DEFECT WITH SPRINT THREAD :)
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
It was a problem with how the cards were formatted. I had the problem on mine. Unmounted the SD card, reformatted, and haven't had the problem since.

Before reformat, I would have the problem every other time I tried the camera app.

After format, have not had the problem once in 2 days.:p
[EVO 4G General] Archon810:
Well, folks, **** just hit the fan for me.

Update 6/1/2010: I have terrible news. While on vacation in France (and therefore unable to swap out the SD card for another), I have today spent a whole day in Monaco and Monte Carlo which ended up being my favorite little places in all of France and its surroundings.

After taking a myriad of breathtaking and irreplaceable pictures and videos and coming home, I found none of them were present on the card. Instead, a LOST.DIR with about 2GB of data. The defect described here, which until now only needed a reboot to get fixed, has now progressed into something that I don’t think I’ll be able to recover from.

Needless to say, this is highly upsetting – these pictures are not replaceable. If anyone has any tips on restoring data from a corrupted SD card, please let me know.

Tweets sent out:

- Twitter / Android Police: OMG, I just spent a whole ...

- Twitter / Android Police: @sprint @htc @google The E ...

I am very sad right now.
[EVO 4G General] Archon810:
According to the update from Sprint, if you believe Bek, a respectable member of Android Forums, the I/O batch was the same as production units (which is what I thought as well) and will therefore affect thousands of people who will be buying their EVOs and finding SD cards requiring phone reboots.

And if you see my last update above, the issue is a lot worse - it will eventually corrupt your data, just like it did mine.
[EVO 4G General] jeffla:
That is terrible. I am sorry to hear that, and I hope you can find a way to recover the pictures. I could not imagine having lost such pictures myself. :(
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Hmmm...nope, don't see a disaster yet, as a major question has not been answered, in your experience anyway: did your data become corrupt on the card that came with your EVO, or with one you purchased yourself?

I hate to say it, and no flame intended, but we are talking about basic troubleshooting here...
[EVO 4G General] emac11:
Sorry to hear that Archon. I agreed with you labeling this as a "massive defect," and this proves why. Shipping a faulty device is a major issue, even if it is just the memory card (which I'm not sure has been proven yet). This will look bad on Sprint and HTC, and I hope they do something to fix it.

Btw, now following you on Twitter!
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Also, many users have reported the issue disappears after formatting the original card.

Still not seeing the big deal.
[EVO 4G General] Archon810:
Guess you don't understand an average consumer then. An average consumer has no idea why their pictures will disappear, what formatting is, and, frankly, they wouldn't know to format or use another card in the first place, unless they read Android forums and blogs.

It's all about perception and they will find someone to blame (hint: it'll be Sprint and HTC, and in some cases Google).
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
And how many 'average consumers' will purchase the EVO? The average consumer purchases iphones and cheesy 'texting phones'.

The average consumer also doesn't update their PC OS software, anti-virus, or know the difference between GSM and CDMA networks, or knows that accessing their bank account from the free wi-fi at starbucks is a bad idea.

*The average consumer also takes important photos with their cell phones*

It is a shame that you lost data, we all share in your pain as I'm sure we've all been down that road at some point with new tech. However, insofar as the users on these forums are concerned, this really isn't a big deal.

PS - In my day job, I have interacted with the 'average consumer' every day for the last 10 years.
[EVO 4G General] Beknatok:
Aww, yer making me blush.

To everyone else, we'll know in about a week whether this becomes a widespread or isolated incident. I'm hoping/praying that it is the the latter, but really only time will tell. If you want to be cynical, that's fine - I would be too, if I wasn't dealing with the issue myself. Really the only thing that will prove anything are the days that will follow launch day.

In either case, if you've experienced the issue, I would strongly encourage you to contact the Google IO Tech line and file a complaint report. The more they hear from us, the (hopefully) more attention they'll devote to dealing with it.
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
Can't we get an official statement in writing on this to mitigate the speculation?
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I don't mean to be insensitive but seriously who takes that kind of irreplaceable pictures on a freakin cell phone? I mean you can't afford a digital camera but a vacation to France?

You started this topic so it isnt like you didnt know there was possibly something wrong with the sd card or whatever.

What you shold be asking yourself is why the hell would you trust such irreplaceable pictures to a cell phone you knew had a possible problem.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
You are forgetting something, an average user would buy insurance for the phone

($5), wile a regular user (like me) will always try to fix things looking in forums and blogs, about the pictures......well I'm really sorry,but if you see a defect, go change it or replace it.
[EVO 4G General] enragedpaza:
It will be fixed, why would Sprint or HTC ship out phones with this problem for a big launch day for both company's? I do feel bad for you about the pictures (op) b/c i allways take pictures of my kids with my cell phones and remember an sd card went out on me and i lost them all. :( But, now i backup photos on photo bucket.
[EVO 4G General] finsmaniac02:
To those people that say reformatting the card fixes it... Can you reformat from the EVO itself, and does that fix it? Or does it need to be formatted in a computer?

I ask because I have no card reader in my PC
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
MrDSL, mikevillarroel, enragedpaza: well said.

finsmaniac02: I'm not an android user (until Friday anyway), but i'm sure there's an app in the market to format SD cards. If not, a card reader is a very handy piece of hardware you can pickup on the cheap just about anywhere. Most handle various formats, and require no software installed on your PC to run - Windows and Linux will mount as an external drive.
