[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHPadu:
External means that you're installing your apps on the sdcard. (They are installed in the '.android_secure' folder) If any widgets or apps that need root would be installed on the sdcard you should move them to the phone. You can do that by go in to 'settings' >> 'applications' >> 'manage aplications' and find that app, press it, and in its settings you can move it.

Anyways to your problem: The reason why you can't see some apps are because you're running LauncherPro as your home app. You can just kill it and press home so it will re-launch and then you should see your apps again. You might have to do that from time to time after you have rebooted your phone.

Froyo FRF83B stock

I having an issue, recently updated to FRF83B and have the latest radio 4.06 however having issues when I try to install an app from the Market (first it will download and then it will come to the installing part) the phone freezes and then restarts.

So I can not install any apps on the market, and I am searching far and wide for a solution, does anyone know what I can do to fix this up!?

Hello guys!

i just got my xperia 2 two days ago. Yesterday night, i discovered that we can update it with the sony ericsson update service. I begun it but because of the lenth of my connexion, i went to sleep. Today, when i woke up, the computer was like it restarded, and in the phone there was always the sony ericsson's logo. I tryed to turn it off with out success and after maybe i did a mistake, cause i put off the battery. Now the phone doesn't want to turn on and there is a red light in the top when i make it on charge.

Can someone help me please?

Thx.

What is the cheapest LEGIT site to get an Unlock code for the T-Mobile HD2 ?
[HD2 General] Wanchope2k:
I just used this guy on eBay to unlock my HTC HD2 from T-Mobile UK.

Look for: swiftsales714 on eBay.

They have +30,000 positive feedback.

It cost just £7 & I had an unlock code within 2 minutes which worked.

I now have normal connection with my O2 pay-and-go SIM.

I did contact T-Mobile UK & they did say that they have the same policy as Vodaphone & O2 and will provide the unlock code for your phone.

However, you must have an active T-Mobile phone number & they will charge you £15.

eBay seems a great, quick & cheaper alternative.

Hey,

Starting today, whenever I open the Market application, its window appears and immediately disappears. It doesn't say anything about a force close - just disappears.

I tried connecting to Wifi and disconnecting from Wifi.

Connecting to mobile internet and disconnecting from it.

Shutting down the phone multiple times.

Doing it will charging and while not charging.

Nothing works.

It keeps happening.

Ideas, anyone?

[Desire General] Johnassel:
Sounds like a screwed packages.xml (in /data/system) - I had this issue as well. Do you have root? Then you could try to use Titanium Backup to fix it or you have to delete it.
[Desire General] obeobeobe:
no root

no, i don't have root...

i was thinking of doing it though, regardless of this issue...

can you answer a couple of questions about that for me? (kinda off-topic but i might just go ahead and root the device and then follow your advice)

1. if i root - can i still do a "factory reset" and get the phone to how it was when i first got it?

2. if HTC pushes updates after i've rooted the phone, can i install them? and if i then do factory reset, what would happen?

3. this one is pure curiosity - if i DON'T root the phone, and install some update pushed by HTC, and then do a factory reset - will i get to the pre-update or post-update condition?

thanks!

Thats the problem ive rooted many g1's but i cant even figure how to get this into the recovery screen. Tried hold power and camera button. tried volume down and power button nothing. Help .

I want to root this phone so bad.

**** i dont even know how to do a dump.

I do have a terminal program which lets me see the files system on the phone by typing ls at the command prompt is pretty much all i know.. Soo all the help i can get would be great.

New font

Yeah I just recently got the phone, and was very, very disappointed that Android won't let me install new fonts (for other language) without "root"ing the fone.

I know Android 2.2 comes out with more support on Asian languages, but it doesn't seem Garmin would update their phone soon.

Therefore I am looking for a way to root the phone too.

obsidian - looks like you are one step closer. Hope you can get it soon.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] klon000:
There are tons of closed topics about sharing garmin navi or dump - the "garmin people" can effectively scare moderators, so not a single work on extracting the app can be discussed, but where are the "garmin people" when it's about answering e-mails or quotes on their official forums? Why they don't want to answer if the garmin app will be available for android phones and when?

Maybe mods should ignore their requests untill they answer our questions - we do not want any warez, we just want a quality, working offline navigation app!

//Sorry for off topic, every other topic I tried was already closed//
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NotATreoFan:
To my knowledge, we have not received complaints from Garmin about this thread. However, saying that Garmin will not answer your questions on their official forum does not permit the discussion of how to rip the maps out of their product here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spazmogen:
I am new to the forum and hacking Android.

I am not interested in ripping Garmin Maps out of my phone.

I have a T-Mobile Garminfone here in Canada.

Here's the question: the Nuvifone A50 (Garminfone in USA) has different specs than then USA release. Namely the HSDPA frequencies.

hxxps://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=52024#specsTab

that's the Europe A50: "Networks: HSDPA Cat 8 7.2Mbps, HSPA / WCDMA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 21001, GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, GPRS EDGE Class 12"

From T-Mobile USA: Networks: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, GPRS EDGE Class 12, UMTS HSPA 2100/1700, HSDPA Cat 8, 7.2 Mbps.

Looks to me as though the European A50 supports HSDPA 850/900/1900 where the T-mobile USA one does not.

So, will rooting permit the T-Mobile phone to use the full spectrum of frequencies as the A50 does in Europe?

I tried to post links, but as a new user the system prohibits it to avoid spam.

It's got a Qualcomm MSM7227 CPU.

I suspect ASUS has locked these frequencies down via firmware somehow rather than build 2 differnt versions of the same phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spazmogen:
OK. I've been able to root the Garminfone. At least according to Universal Androot 1.6. But Titanium Backup says its NOT rooted as I have to transfer SuperUser files from SD card to phone.

How do I make a dump of the ROM?

I tried to link to a picture as proof, but that is still locked down as I am a new user.

I guess the last few lines of the log file should suffice:

getprop ro.product.model

getprop ro.product.brand

getprop ro.product.name

getprop ro.product.manufacturer

I did talk to a garmin guy who stated too me that there are only 2 people he knows of that trully got root on these phones. He couldnt tell me anything more but told me if i was familiar with adb too keep it simple and it can be done. he couldnt elaborate and further. I tried so hard to see if those 2 that did it, were on the web some where all he said was xda and keep searching its in general not a nuvi forum. Grrr so anyone have any other ideas?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tim2246:
1: ok step one download universal and root to sd card.

2: then download a file manager such as linda file manager.

3: download chainsdd SuperUser

4: go to settings then applications put a check next to unknown sources.Then go to Development and check usb debugging and stay awake.

5: use linda file manager and browse to sd card and install universal root "DO NOT INSTALL SUPERUSERBUILT INTO IT"

6: Install chainsdd Superuser, After install open it goto settings then scroll too bottom and click su binary it may fail the first time but click it again it will say Su binaries updated.

7: I am using root explorer i bought it from market.

8: after this is installed open it and be sure to click the rw option when you open it at top of directory. Now copy /system/xbin/su to your sd card for safe keeping along with rootshell file from sqlite_stmt_journals folder.

after you back them up too sd then copy Su file too /bin let it over write theres.

Now fire off adb and type adb shell then at the $ type su and walla full root.

Anyone have ideas on how to make it read only so system cant delete those files on reboot or automated way of putting the files in right place at reboot let me know.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdedeaux:
you need to use the damn search button and stop junking this thread up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spazmogen:
As Tim has pointed out: Rooting has been achieved. But SuperUser gets reset at each reboot of the phone. The /bin folder is created new at each boot. So we have to manually copy/paste the SU file into /bin after each start up of the phone. It's only 1 small step, and a minor annoyance.

I have been able to remove: Offers, Facebook, Amazon mp3, T-Mobile Hotspots, Movie Times and Visual Voice Mail. I still have a few to remove, but the phone is easier to scroll through now that most of the clutter is gone.

Couldn't believe it the other day, I had heard 4G was coming to Los Angeles in late 2010. So... I turned on 4G the other day outside my office and... BING 4G SOLID signal. To put it mildly, my jaw dropped.

I have been driving around with 4G on and everywhere I go in Hollywood has had a 4G signal. Thought it was just them testing, but I have been able to get 4G every time I came to work.

North of Hollywood the signal drops to 3G.

You can usually get a 4G signal near any Best Buy which is broadcasting 4G from what I believe. Right there on the 405 and the 10 you can get it, which I suspect is coming from the Best Buy on Pico. Driving from south on the 405 I could get it around Santa Monica and west on 10, it fades off just after Bundy.

That is not true. There was a rumor that some Radio Shacks were using 4G repeaters, but there are no Best Buy stores doing this.
[EVO 4G General] cpnichols:
You may be right... I used an app called Cell Mapper to measures signal strength and maps it. It also changed color as it went from 3G to 4G. I noticed that going south on the 405 from the valley, I started to pick up a 4G signal around the Getty. It went all the way down to the 10 and down past Centinla. So it seems that West LA is covered.

Then last night I drove via downtown and Hollywood. I got a Signal as I got close to downtown on the 10, and had a signal (with a few tips back to 3G) on the 101 all the way up to hollywood until I hit barum.

So 4G is really starting to show up in some big areas in LA. Now I wish that the East Valley and Venice would get it...

Interesting, do you know if it's been turned off recently? I live one mile east, next to the Grove, and had great 4G service from the launch day (3-5 Mbs in phone, 6-8(!) tethered to a laptop via USB). But since a couple weeks ago, all I get now is the 4G availability notification, but the data connection is not at 4G speeds (status bar icon never appears). This happened right around the June 28th OTA update, which included the radio update, which makes me wonder if we were not supposed to be getting 4G coverage yet in the first place (while ClearWire is still deploying).

I got 4G at the Convention Center during E3 too, but haven't checked that area recently.

4G in Hollywood is working again for me (haven't had a stable connection for 2 weeks). I think there is an antenna at La Brea and Santa Monica. I've had a solid 2-3 bars for pretty much the whole day, speeds of > 3Mbs down, 1Mbs up (measured using the SpeedTest app). It really makes a big difference, in phone and especially on a tethered notebook, feels like a real broadband connection. If Sprint can maintain this level of performance, the $10 surcharge is a bargain.
