[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iWannaBeAdored:
Hello.

I sold my mytouch 3g on Amazon a while ago and someone had the following complaint:

screen freezing and unable to reset / reboot. google search reveal it is a known problem with HTC G2 but all methods tried have failed to resolve problem. no response from seller.

I have been away in Belgium and could not resolve the problem so I was charged to refund the guy! Can I fix this so I can get my money back? I will get him to send me the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Did you intentionally sell him a faulty product?

The device was pre-owned by you right?

Did you have any issues with it when you owned it?

You can't really do anything until you get the device back and I would honestly flash the stock rom on it and leave it up to him to root.

Oh... and you don't need to post several times in the same thread just because you didn't get a response. Just be patient. If you need to add to the thread then feel free to edit your original post and not reply to it.

Playing with the android-wired-tether app I noticed that it doesn't work with android debugging on.

If I enable it with adb enabled, I get this error in dmesg on my computer:

usb 1-1: config 1 has 2 interfaces, different from the descriptor's value: 3
usb 1-1: Duplicate descriptor for config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0, skipping

Looking around on the device, I can see that ethernet is enabled in /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

usb_mass_storage:disable
adb:enable
diag:disable
serial:disable
ether:enable
modem:disable
nmea:disable

However, with adb disabled the tethering app works fine.
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
so the wired tether app (from the devs of Wireless tether) works on the evo?

interesting...
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
Tried that app few days ago, didn't work. Didn't uninstall it hoping someone would eventually get it to work, somehow... stock rom w/ unrevoked root.
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
How should this app work? With PDANet, it appears that you need to install a piece of software on your computer. Will this app just appear like a normal internet connection when its working? Also, their site http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/ mentions changing the kernel of the phone, but that's not necessary with the Evo, is it?
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
I have the wifi tether 2.0.5.pre2.apk installed on my EVO. Tested today at school, had 4 people connected over it no problems at all. Not sure why you would prefer wired tethering over wireless....

Grab it here android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
wired is faster from my experience...
[EVO 4G General] eme82:
Is it just me...I don't pay for PAM but I have been able to get the built in wired tethering working without getting error code 67
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
I'll have to give that a try then.
[EVO 4G General] canteenboy:
Android wired tether works if you disable debugging and usb mass storage in /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch. Once you disable the mass storage I have to reboot the phone to get Windows to recognize the SD card. Great find by the OP.
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
What are your settings?
[EVO 4G General] eme82:
Nothing special...I'm rooted using a slightly modded stock (themed and bloatware removed). I just thought I would try it one day and it worked. It didn't work on my hero without error code 67
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
Did you try using it? The sprint mobile hotspot seems to work for about a minute before I get the error 67.
[EVO 4G General] eme82:
hotspot gave me error code 67
[EVO 4G General] canteenboy:
Thanks to evildean over at the android central forums I made a one click solution for usb wired tethering.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/16798-usb-tether-old-school-method.html

Download Gscript Lite and create a script that can be placed on the Home screen.

Create script with Superuser checked and type in

/system/bin/netsharing net on && echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
Thank you, this is such a hacked up weird thing, but it works!
[EVO 4G General] ejittles:
Works like a champ! Looks like USB Debug has to be turned on (I don't know if that was posted above or not, can't remember). Thanks a bunch!
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
I figured out how to get it working. The easiest way to use android-wired-tether is to install GScript Lite and automate this.

Before running Wired Tether, run this command:

echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

It will shut off adb and usb mass storage while turning on ethernet.

When you are done tethering, use this command.

echo 3 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

It turns off ethernet while turning adb and usb mass storage back on.

Edit: If you'd feel better about not turning on ethernet immediately, Wired Tether also works if you use "echo 0 > ..." which will just disable everything. That's now what I'm using, it's the simplest.
[EVO 4G General] canteenboy:
Nice find on the different commands to get this to work smoother.

[EVO 4G General] EvoNotEvil:
I love that others are working on workarounds for wired tethering and I have the wired teher app installed and working but it seems to be lagging a bit in speed for some reason. I havent yet seen any news on anyone working on getting the o.e. wired tether functionality back. It would seem to me that some dev with more knowledge and intelligence than I could somewhat easily restore the original functionality built in by HTC. What I know: I have seen many claims of users internet sharing feature mysteriously working without paying for hot spot with wifi off. When I just recieved my evo and tried this option I turned wifi off and it momentarily worked (and seemed fast) before locking me out. At the time I didnt know if this was included or not if I was doing something wrong and decided to come back to it later. (After Root,etc)After upgrading and installing latest htc sync. I now dont even mometarily connect before error code 67. It seems logical to me that HTC sync and some of the root files on the phone could be modded to communicate the original functionality htc has intended. I have peeked around the phone and program and found some interesting insight but my knowledge is limited. Thoughts??

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanEnRui:
I've been working on a full Sega emulator (Master System/Genesis/SegaCD/32X) under Android and this is one thing I have planned on implementing with it. The Wii remote with the classic controller attachment is the perfect control set for the emulator. Granted, not everyone has one so touch controls will be implemented too.

Anyhow, what type of functionality are you looking for with the Wii remote on the phone? I am familiar with pairing it and gathering reports from it. I have some examples in C# but I'd need to port them to Android 2.1+.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomerobot:
I don't think it's Sense specifically, I think it may be a kernel issue (correct me if I'm wrong) - I'm running a Froyo ROM (which obviously doesn't have Sense) and it will recognize a Wii Remote via bluetooth, but won't pair with it using any of the currently available applications. I believe it works on ASOP devices such as the Hero - so maybe it requires true ASOP and not some hacked together Froyo based on another kernel?

Also, for everyone asking for PS3 controller compatibility, that's a horse of a different color - the applications for Wii Remote compatibility are already there and in the market - the problem is HTC's bluetooth implementation - as far as I know there isn't an application out there for the PS3 controller.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickdollahz:
I believe its the matter of porting over the HID support bluetooth profile from a device that works with the wii mote to our evo kernel.

The fact that the source of the kernel was released is the only reason why I kept my evo 4g and didnt wait for the epic 4g. It SHOULD be possible to port of the bluetooth profile from a working device. It is alot of work though because it has to be adapted to work on the evo. I think if we can get the source from another similar htc device that does infact support it. We will be in business. I'm a CS major myself but I havent yet learned much about how the kernel works.

Hopefully one of the more experience developer who have alot of time on their hands would be able to port this over for us. I think once it has been ported over it will be a standard on alot of kernels.

I see we have a alot of people willing to donate to see this happen. Ava is working on a rom that is suppose to do this but idk how that's going. I think we will need the support of people who are familiar with porting over kernel not just the copy pasta thing.

With all that said I will be willing to donate to see this happen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanEnRui:
I'm down for HID support over Bluetooth. I am just confused on what functionality the Wii remote would have with the Evo. I can understand in certain circumstances (games, etc) it would be completely logical. Outside of those I'm not quite understanding the point.

+1 For PS3 controller support. I have a PS3 that melted itself so I've got a couple spare controllers just hanging around...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RanEnRui:
I spent a little time today throwing together a quick Android app that would connect to a Wii remote and interact with it.

However, there are a few glaring issues that make it currently very difficult. The first is that Android does not have an option for "no PIN" code, so when the pairing the Wii remote, I cannot skip it.

The actual PIN code for the Wii remote is the MAC address of itself, bytes reversed, in binary (not ASCII). There is no way to input this into the pairing dialog.

Also, you cannot simply connect to the Wii remote using the MAC address. I made them both discoverable and I was able to see the Wii remote from the Evo but when I tried to connect using RFCOMM with the HID/SPP UUIDs, it would time out and say that the service discovery failed. Ugh.

I'm using all Android 2.1+ API, not NDK/bluez which probably would offer more functionality.

The problem seems to be that there is no "BLUETOOTH_PAIR_REQUEST" intent (lame), no way to enter non-ASCII (or non-numeric) values as a PIN code, no HID/SPP support from the Wii remote using the standard UUIDs, or just something wrong with the bluetooth stack in Android.

I've seen it done on the N1 with WiiControllerIME. However, there are issues with HTC/Samsung phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super-6-1:
id pay for this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
Well, it seems that it may be bluetooth specific for the EVO cuz the N1 is made by HTC, but it is a true AOSP. I'd think all we need is a true port over of an AOSP N1 ROM. Wish i knew how to do it, i'd be on it by now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomerobot:
Yeah, the problem is HTC's bluetooth stack. It's a known issue with WiiControllerIME - it's just that no one has figured out a fix (or really cares enough to). Once we see a true AOSP ROM I'm guessing it'll be a non-issue.

Flashed CM6 tonight and Wiimote Controller worked perfectly. Badass. Seriously.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydralisk:
Chiming in here to say that this works as well. However, I find the wiimote to be ... inadequate for SNES games, and that's what I want to play the most.

SNES games need A, B, X, and Y to be in close proximity as you typically have to move while being able to press one of those buttons easily. With the wiimote... that's not really possible. And then there's the left and right trigger.

I'm hoping to get my hands on a few more bluetooth controllers to test out with the EVO... but for now, the wiimote does work with CM6 (but it's still in its early stages and bugs should be expected) :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudementry:
Try:

2: B

1: Y

and then the trigger (B) or A button can be X or Y, whichever way is more comfortable. I've gotten through a few SNES games comfortably like that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdad2:
Is there support for the classic controller in cm6 or other app? That would solve the snes thing.

I'm loving the bluetooth work. It is actually pretty useful to have a mouse in Android, and of course a keyboard when you are doing stuff at a terminal or writing a blog post.

[Desire Themes and Apps] AndroidNerd:
Hey guys.

A few people I know have commented that, overall, apps on the Android Market are much less polished visually than those on Apple's App Store.

This is something I tend to agree with and was wondering what the general consensus is?

1. Do you agree that the average Android app lacks attractive visuals?

2. Do you rate features over looks?

3. Are aesthetics important to you when purchasing an app?

As a graphic designer, it is quite important to me, and I am happy to help out where I can if anyone needs any graphic work done. IMO, the doubleTwist app is one of the better apps on the market visually and I expect it to be the most popular media player when they add more features.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ratchetnclank:
Function over form for me always.

As long as the App is designed for use, ie the controls are easy to access and make sense it doesn't matter.

Saying that an app with quality graphical design is much more of a pleasure to use. Widgets have to look good for me to use them. Ugly widgets will never get on my homescreen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Laban:
Design is crucial to me. Of course the functionality is the most important but I try to stay away from ugly designed apps.

And I agree, there are way to many badly designed apps.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Balos:
That is because you cant install apps on the SD card yet. To gfx needs to be small and highly compressed. You can not have the cool looking games from Iphone either as some do take over 100MB of space.
[Desire Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Yes you can! Those apps just need secondary "installs" to download resources to SD card. There are plenty that already do this.

It's not a whole lot different to GPS navigation applications downloading maps to the SD card.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Themes and Apps] mikelalala:
Totally agree with you. An ugly designed app makes itself look insecure, untrustworthy.

I've also noticed, that some icons (even from HTC, e.g. compare profile and network widgets) are different in font size, placement.

For me the best case would be when the app uses phones style, not the custom one. So all apps and phone look solid, with the same design (fonts, colors etc.), not like a parrot.

2) there is some problem in contacts setting which shows sim contacts as wel as phone contacts- not a big issue actually)

3) for some reason this version does not recieve internet settings from my operator, so i cant connect to the internet)

if any one can help me with thse problems or can suggest a way to get my tattoo to its original 1.6.7 version back, i'd really appreciate.(i didnt do the nandroid back up- forgive me lord)

and is there any other custom rom that is fit for tattoo? i have no problem trying with new ones.

Hi all,

I know we already have the great GameBoid emulator for our platform but I was thinking about how great is would be to play some multi-player gameboy games over our bluetooth connections... GameBoid doesn't support this.

In fact, the only emulator that does I'm aware of is the Visual Boy Advance emulator, and it's open source!! Here are some links:

sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/files

vbalink.info

( add the protocols to the links.. i'm not allowed to post links apparently )

If I remember right the original developers quit and it has now been taken over by various teams improving the code base separately... The code is written in C/C++ using SDL library and the version on the second link supports LAN play..

So how hard would it be to port this? Bluetooth has a protocol that simulates a tcp/ip lan network right? Is is there an SDL android port that works well? Is this doable? Are there people interested? I'm a developer myself but I have no android experience...

So I just "launched" the idea.. are some of you interested? Is it possible?

Greetz,

dzn
[Android Software Development] ClausG76:
It would be nice. Even though I purchased Gameboid and it's running great. I think VBA might have better game compabillity.
