No trouble here with my 16GB card. Maybe it doesn't like how your card is formatted? Try copying everything to your PC, reformatting the card, then copying everything back.

**hah.. just saw the post above suggesting the same thing. I didn't see any mention of what format you used, though.. mine is FAT32.

Flash like always:

Unzip

Reboot phone into fastboot mode (Eris: power off, then press and hold green and red keys simultaneously. I believe most others use the camera key in place of the green one).

fastboot flash splash1 /path/to/droid-paint.rgb565

fastboot reboot

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lostsync:
A splash screen is a screen that opens while something else is loaded that helps the user verify that they did in fact initiate an action (booting, opening photoshop, etc) like the grey Apple screen on a Mac or the Windows logo when you boot a PC. On your phone, the splash is the Androids on skateboards screen. You'd see it if you rebooted your phone.

If it doesn't work for someone than you don't have S=OFF. You need S=OFF to flash via fastboot.

Just put on sd card, reboot into recovery and flash .zip file.

Looking to see if anyone else has had this issue.

with 1.5, my phone always came out of sleep, right to the lockscreen, now that I've rooted, and have started using custom pretty much every popular ROM out there, with the last 3 or 4 I've flashed onto my phone, instead of going to the lock screen, it's just a blank screen, the phone will still sound alerts, but, the screen will remain blank no matter what I do, short of pulling the battery, and rebooting the phone...this doesn't happen every time, but ... it happens enough, that its irritating.

mabye I'm retarded, and theres answers somewhere on google, but, I can't find them ... help?

[General Questions and Answers] Vitnir:
I got this used HP hx4700 to use as a tablet pc, to read books on etc. The model seemed to fit the bill, good screen and wifi.

However the screen is way to unresponsive as is, when it works it takes about 5sec for a tap to be registered using onscreen keyboard, when it doesnt work I just have to soft reset and hope it works next time. Often I can tap the windows button and open the menu, but then I cant select a program to start using stylus, i have to move using the tiny touchpad. Using the touchpad the OS is snappy and fast.

I have upgraded the ROM to WM6, the original was 2003 Prem. This has not made the problems better or worse though. I ran an old copy of Bitdefender on it as well as Pocket Mechanic but nothing seems to improve things. In pocket mechanic there is a window that shows cpu usage and its constant at 100%.

When I got Notes up and running the screen registers handwriting fine over the entire screen so it doesnt seem to me that there is a hardware issue.

Any ideas?

Hi Everyone,

I got a Google developers phone from someone, but it only has the Blue LED when I try to boot up and the keyboard also lights up. But not boot screen, no back lighting on the screen nothing.

Additionally when charging there is no charging LED light, but it does get warm and it does stay in blue led mode after its charged, so i think it is actually charging.

Since it cannot boot, none of the boot loaders etc worked. Is this phone hopeless? Should I attempt to change the motherboard or would you say its a lost cause? Also I am only finding T-mobile G1 motherboards on ebay etc, will those mobos work with the G1 unlocked google phone?

Your help and ideas are greatly appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Try this:

* Unplug anything and everything plugged into the phone

* Pull battery

* Wait 10 seconds

* put battery back in

* plug in USB (now you are hopefully charging as usual)

* press power make sure you are not pressing other buttons.. if the blue light cones on something is pressing the trackball.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spawn782:
Thanks so much for your reply EZTERRY, I tried that a couple of times, but it didnt work, should I open up the phone and take out the track ball and try again?

Again thanks for any suggestions that you can offer, I am desperate.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
All I can say is what blue light mode is and how to enter it.

Blue light mode is when you manualy start the radio bootloader aka oemspl. This is a serial command line interface accessible by an HTC serial wire.

There are a few ways to access the oemspl but the only one that turns the led blue is when you manually access it by turning on you phone while holding the action/trackball button.

So unless something is wrong with the daughter board (where the surface mounted physical button under the trackball lives) or the LCD ribbon wire where the led information must travel its very odd to be stuck in blue light mode oftwr disconnecting all power from the phone.

I wish you luck.. not sure I can provide more without seeing the phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clydecooper31:
Re: Blue Light on G1

Hello.

The issue causing this is likely a trackball defect, trackball damage or just maybe moisture causing a trackball malfunction. Try to push and hold down the Poweroff/End Call button AND the home button (the one with the little house on it) down simultaneously. Hold them down for about 10 seconds or until you see the screen light up. See if that gets you anywhere. If it works, read no further. If not, you may need some outpatient surgery on your track ball.

If you got your phone wet or contaminated (sweaty hands while using the track ball, rain, using greasy or stick fingers etc) it will foul up the track ball. The track ball contact "thinks" it is being pushed or moved, etc even though you are not even touching the track ball, and its due to some problem with the contacts.

Here is what I would do if you cannot find a pro to look at it:

Gather these things:

1. q-tips

2. Canned air (the kind to clean electronics or camera lenses)

3. Isopropyl alcohol

4. Soft dry cloth or soft paper towel.

Using a push-pin or something similar, hold the track ball still, and clean it with a q-tip which you have dampened with alcohol. Please note I said DAMPENED and be careful not to stab THROUGH your trackball with the push pin or push too hard. You are simply trying to stop the trackball from turning as you clean its surface with the damp q-tip. Qtip should be moist but not overly wet. Keep rolling the trackball and then holding it in place and cleaning it. Do this until you think you have cleaned all areas of the track ball to the best of your ability.

Roll the track ball around with a paper towel and dry its entire surface. Leave it to sit for about 30 minutes.

Then for the last step (but not least important) step, slightly push down the track ball with the push pin. YOu want to push it down enough so that the seal that touches the track ball opens a bit. Then spray the track ball with the canned air for a good 10 seconds while you move the track ball around a bit with the push pin. This will dry whatever remaining alcohol may still be UNDERNEATH the track ball. You should use your finger to move the track ball around, and maybe do this exact step a second time just to make sure its 100% dry. Then, try turning your phone as normal.

I hope that helps.

Thanks

Very interesting. Do you know if this radio bootloader gives you (qualcomm) diagnostic mode or if you can access if by some mean? Also, could you develop on the other ways to access the oemspl?
[EVO 4G General] EVOKeith:
I have heard of several phones being hailed as "The iPhone Killer", namely the Palm Pre that I just got rid of. The EVO seems to just about have everything to take that title and actually live up to it. So, what does it take to kill the iPhone and is the HTC EVO 4G it?
[EVO 4G General] jeffla:
Sorry no.

The evo is great, and I am excited for it to arrive, but there are things about Android that need to be ironed out before it can be an iphone killer. My list of things that need improvement for Android to become the mainstream iphone killer.

1. better marketplace experience/apps - but getting better daily

2. better ways to edit/insert text.

3. better way to manage gps, you should not have to turn it on or off to use it. My coworkers Droid sometimes leaves the GPS on when she is not using it. Killing the battery.

4. improve the onscreen keyboard

5. force hardware manufactures to use transflective displays

6. MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING. Why is it that everybody including my mother knows how to use an iphone based on the TV commercials yet most of the general public has no idea what Android is?

Nothing on my list is serious, #6 I think is the biggest problem for Android.
[EVO 4G General] crazy talk:
this phone is amazing. but it's size and some of the things will make it a 'niche' product.

[EVO 4G General] trentlythp:
Why does it have to be a iPhone killer? Some sort of Apple phone will always be around because there are people that will buy whatever Steve Jobs tells buy and there are a LOT of those people. IMO

It'll be a long time before anything "kills" the iPhone, however I do believe the Evo is doing an excellent job of pushing Apple to continue to advance to keep ahead. It's hard to kill something that's also growing quickly in features and ability.

Ultimately, I think the Cell wars are just heating up and it will be a great time of innovation all around...lots of competition!
[EVO 4G General] booyakasha:
1. Froyo 2.2 has a much better updated marketplace and should address that, and as you said, the app offerings are getting better everyday

2. I haven't really had a problem with editing text, but I agree with your number 4 (as does Google). They have stated the keyboard will receive some attention in further builds.

3. Thats what she should do, the GPS is only active when an application is requesting location. It doesn't hurt the battery at all to leave it on, just so long as you dont have an application that constantly pings your location in the background.

Everything else I agree with, however I think the "Droid Does" campaign for Verizon has been successful.

[EVO 4G General] cwbeasley:
I think it's unfair to call this phone an iPhone killer. They're two different animals. Completely.

It's like comparing a semi to a sports car. Both are automobiles, but that's where the similarities cease. One is necessary when moving heavy objects, capable of doing multiple things as once, and the other does only one thing very very well. You can get a semi tricked out to do 0-100 in under 10 seconds, but can you take a sports car and pull a house down the highway? No. Again, 2 different uses, each with their own unique application.

I use to have an iPhone, still have one actually, but I don't use it ever since I got my first Android here in the US. Would I say that any Android kills the iPhone? Depends on what we are talking about. And it also depends on the user.

My Dad uses the iPhone. He's not super techy. He's perfectly comfortable only running one app at a time, seeing as he only uses less than 20 altogether. Does he need advanced hardware to make a phone call? Nope. In his opinion, there will never be an iPhone killer, because they've managed to take a very basic function phone, give it the ability to run selected apps on the phone, without making it crash. That's the pinnacle of simplicity for him, and I doubt he'll ever change. And there are literally thousands of users like him out there, who could care less about a phones ability to hook into HDMI, or true multitasking, or how fluid the interface is.

I, alas, am not one of them. I care. A lot. :-) To say one person's preference is better than another is crazy. Example: I have a rather wealthy friend who loves to eat overly expensive food. He loves caviar. I've tried it, properly, 6 times. Each time, I've lost the entire contents of my stomach through my mouth. Does that make caviar bad? Nope, it just makes it not for me, and you'll never see me bad mouth caviar. But you may see me wince a bit when it's mentioned. :-)

All of witch say they will buy a android phone next after seeing how easy it is to modify. Oh yea it's now on it's fourth Gen phone and it just now is getting multitasking.
