While we appreciate your gesture, your host will suspend you and you'll lose your data. This is an unfortunately fact, as you appear to believe that you have "unlimited storage" - something that quite obviously does not exist. The majority of hosts that offer this ("unlimited" plans), limit you based on the fact you cannot simply host large files to download, or will suspend you for ToS infractions of excessive CPU, either way they'll get rid of you so they don't lose money. Unfortunately, this is a well known practise called overselling, something we will all fall foul to when purchasing our first hosting package(s).

More specifically, "unlimited storage" is fair share and the more problematic to enforce. Unlimited bandwidth is easy, a full month @ 10Mbits = 3.3TB - a sensible amount. They'll just throttle the server to make sure no-one can use too much bandwidth, if they have to. Realistic servers are around $200/mo/ea and have 4-10TB of BW, even if you bought that, it isn't "unlimited".

Not to rain on your parade, or anything.
[Desire Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
thanks benko ^^
[Desire Android Development] l1nuxfre4k:
already tested :p

I used 142GB

trust me i got lots of space

my hosting company responded when asked

Other Hosts: "UNLIMITED GB!!!!"

.... to which we had no choice but to reply ....

"UNLIMITED + 50GB!!!!"

To be quite honest... Your host is lying. There is no such thing as unlimited storage or unlimited bandwidth (Unless you're on a very expensive unmetered port).

Hey everyone, I've been trying for a few days now to figure out if there's a way to extract a widget from the main Launcher of an Android device?

The Acer Liquid E has a really sweet multimedia widget that I've been trying to extract to be able to use on other phones (it is a scrollable widget so I know you need to use another Home app Like LauncherPro Beta) but I can't figure out how to pull it out or make it useable, can anyone please help do this?

If you look at this video around the 47second mark the person is using the widget (does music, pictures and videos) and there are tons of Rom's out there for the Liquid E, I just need help pulling it out and making it useable if possible please!

[Desire General] tudork:
Hello,

please don't crucify me if I could not find this issue on the forum, although I did look for it.

Basically, when I turn on bluetooth, just for the fun of it, my device is discoverable (visible) to other bluetooth phones just for 120 seconds. There is a timer there and after the 120 seconds, my phone will not be visible to others. Is there anything I can do about it, in order to get rid of this limitation?

I am using a Desire which was bought unlocked, sim-free and has not been rooted or altered in anyway.

Thank you so much!

I would like my phone yo be discoverable more than 120 seconds also. Its very anoying

Installed Froyo 2.2 (FRF83) over the weekend. ERE27 to FRF50, then FRF50 to FRF83. Had to factory wipe and reinstall apps to get Flash working, memory up to speed and speed working but the main problem I now have is that it won't ring on incoming calls despite volume and vibrate set to max (won't vibrate either).

It did yesterday but only played the preloaded 'Ding' ringtone; won't even play that today.

Other notifications, vibrations and lights work fine - just this.

Any ideas or wait for OTA to fix everything?

Thanks in advance. G.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
I think this needs a separate topic to get everyone's attention.

So after reading up this morning on various forums, there are two ways people are bricking their phone:

Being impatient and doing a battery pull. The update takes up to 30 mins. It will sit on the 4G logo screen for a while. Don't touch it!

Running the update again. There is a bug where it notifies you the same update is available. Only run the update once!!! A second time WILL brick your phone!

More info on AF:

[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I like how you put that, good idea.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I just want to say that I'm completely stock, and the update didn't take nearly a half hour. Download plus install took maybe 15 minutes.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
Yeah, same here but I read that some people are taking 30 mins. I just put it there to be safe.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I assume the reason it takes so long is because it is updating directly OTA?

If so, why doesn't the phone download the entire update, confirm the files and then update locally? Doing it this way should be MUCH faster and avoid this issue.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
no one in their right mind would do a real OTA update, there are way too many variables to be transfering system files and updating at the same time. They download the update, confirm file integrity, then update from the file on the SD card.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Thats what I would have expected. So why does it take 15 minutes!! I have never flashed a rom that took longer than 3-4 minutes.

Edit: Don't forget also that no developer in their right mind would release an update that would brick the phone....and yet reports are that it is pretty easy to do! :)
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
You download it, then you can choose to install now or install later.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
idk, who says that HTC/Sprint are master coders and there are zero bugs in everything, there could be a bug in it that makes it sit in a few places.

there is a bug with this update that causes it to show up twice and applying it the second time bricks the phone.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Update only showed up once for me. No issues.
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
Yep worked fine for me. Also, easytether works fine with this update.
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
The reason the update is taking so long is because it's over 21mb. There's a new radio, updated qik, updated quickoffice, and tons more. That's also why the phone has to reboot 3 times also.
[EVO 4G General] iskwee:
thanks for the information.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
One reboot for me... guess 3 is not required.
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
Really that's weird.. You are not having any issues? Everyone I've talked to it is taking around 15min and 2-3 reboots. I guess its your lucky day! :D
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Unless the first two were silent... the process took about 15 minutes from start to finish, and I only had the bootup sound once, then it was done. No issues.
[EVO 4G General] temirov:
It is bricked. How to de-brick it?

As many others, I have inadvertently bricked the phone by installing the update twice.

Does anyone has a slightest idea how to debrick it? Waiting for a replacement might be quite lengthy ...
[EVO 4G General] RTessi:
bump...

this is important to get back to the top with all the non-substantiated posts about "update = brick"...

this has facts - read them and follow accordingly... update = POSSIBLE brick

[EVO 4G General] kennyc1:
lol! an hour too late.

dammit.. my phone is bricked!

On the phone with Sprint. The tech said they are getting a lot of calls about bricked evo.

Good job HTC! Time to sack those programmers.
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
I first reported this morning that after the first OTA update, a second update became available and was downloaded by my phone. I did not install it because I was noit sure what it was...and I am glad I didn't! This update appears to BRICK phones, so beware of this second update and DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Brick rooted phones? Mines completely stock, will it be bricked? If it does get bricked can I get a new Evo? :D

Don't download an OTA update if your rooted. pretty simple. You won't download an update for a patched piece of software :P
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
shouldn't/won't brick it, if it does yes you can get a new one.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Nope, it doesn't brick stock phones.
[EVO 4G General] jasonleb1:
Uhm, no. Because there are no Evos to be had, so you can brick your Evo all you want but you won't get a new Evo.

Of course he will, as long as Sprint can confirm he didn't break his warranty. They'll give him a new one when their new shipment comes in. After all, it would be their fault and they would have to provide a replacement.

what i did was uninstall all apps requiring su then uninstalled unrevoked and the restarted and shut off anything that didnt have to be running and updated...so far no problems short of having to reload a couple of widgets, i cant seem to get back to regular android launcher though :(

a friend of mine updated with unrevoked still installed and his phone made it through but it hung for about 20 min and i had to take the phone from him because he was ready to remove the battery, his sister had wifi running and after update it wouldnt start, my cousin turned off wifi before updating and his wifi seems fine...
[EVO 4G General] JoshHart:
Does anyone have a "bricked" phone? I'm curious as to whether it's a true brick or if recovery/bootloader can still be reached. As far as I can tell it's only rooted phones having these problems, I'm also wondering if people are pulling their batteries. Reports are saying that normal unrooted customers are saying their phones were "bricked", but I'm sure there's a lot of people that were rooted trying to get theirs replaced that aren't going to admit that they were rooted.
[EVO 4G General] om4:
since someone in my inner-circle designated me as tech support i have a lot of people calling me, i just had a somewhat akward convo with a friend ending... root?? whats root, i dont even know what that **** is....*background* um dad..... yeah safe to say if you have an expensive phone and a competent kid with access and general knowledge of general electronics keep your phone away from them

21.4MB listed during the Download Menu.

What was the first update?

Also, I cancelled the download before it finished, and when I went to update again, it says there are no updates...must've been pulled maybe?

~CYD
[EVO 4G General] om4:
ok so my sister-in-law justhad something similar happen, she updated and the phone wouldnt turn on, not sure if this is what you mean when you say wont boot but anyways i just told her sounds like you bricked it and she said she would come over later since she lives down the street, she called me back after saying that she tried to charge it and decided for some reason to unplug and but the charge light was stuck and wouldnt fade out so i told her remove the battery and replace it and then check and now its up and running, having failed at flashing more then a few phones i would have considered it a brick and never removed the battery so theres something to try first
[EVO 4G General] choicewaves:
Take it from me, it will brick stock phones. Once the update is installed, the installer app lets you re-apply the update. If you do, your new stock phone becomes a new stock brick! I did, and am now a proud owner of the Sprint 4G Brick. :eek:
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
It didn't brick mine. I can't re-root now (as I suspected) but its running just fine. I flashed the original RUU, then the .6 update, then the new update and its running fine.

Has anyone been able to determine if there are any differences in the first and second update? Do the MD5s match?

[EVO 4G General] Doward:
Unrooted stock Evo here, 2nd update applied, removed Launcher option from my home button screen (which I find to be total BS, but eh, I'm using LauncherPro anyway)

No bricking to be found here.
[EVO 4G General] roshambo:
I'm gonna play dumb here, but I haven't seen two different file names or file sizes posted anywhere, much less MD5s for either. Could you post them here (with download links if possible). Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
There are ONLY two OTA updates... the .6 update and the new one that launched today. They are most definitely different updates as evidenced from my currently unrootable Evo.
[EVO 4G General] roshambo:
Of course the 1.32.651.6 and the current 1.47.651.1 are different, I am under the assumption that there are two different updates that were released today?
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
No, there is just one. It appears to be bricking some phones (both rooted and unrooted) and not bricking others (such as mine) but kills rootability.
[EVO 4G General] RTessi:
It is not a universal "brick" when doing the OTA 1.47.651.1 update... mine prompted this morning and it worked perfectly. I am stock, unrooted and had already updated the first OTA on launch day.

It seems like something you should do at your own risk since results are not universal...

R
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I'm gonna laugh if its bricking Epson devices...
[EVO 4G General] roshambo:
Ah, OK. So it has been 100% proven that the first update released today is identical (MD5) to the second update that it tries to download if you do a manual update?
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
It doesn't tell me about a second update if I do a manual update... It did, however, install TWO updates...
[EVO 4G General] RanEnRui:
It seems there's a great bit of confusion, misunderstanding, and misinformation being spread around here about this.

The ROm that came with stock Evos on release date was the first version 1.32.651.1. About a week or so after the June 6th release of the phone, there was the first update 1.32.651.6.

Today, they have released a second update 1.47.651.1.

There is an issue with this second update being given to your phone twice. If you accept it the second time around (meaning, after you've properly updated), it will more than likely brick your Evo regardless of whether it's stock or root.

I had this happen to me but I did not accept it the second time around. Weird part was that it had already started downloading it when I rebooted, before I even checked for the HTC update.

The version is the exact same for the duplicate second update, though I did not download it so I can't say the same for the hashes.
[EVO 4G General] j3oomerang:
no more Launcher?

I saw a couple other people in this thread mention they have no Launcher anymore. I have the same problem. I was running stock without root and with Sense disabled. After installing the latest update, my phone booted with Sense. Now I don't see how to go back to Launcher. What the **** is up with that? Can they just take a feature off my phone like that?
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Good explanation

Sounds like there's a ton of paranoia running around here....

When you are prompted/manually check for an update, and you are stock ROM, you should be fine. I just performed the update myself with no real issues, other than a widget I had to remove/re-add.

IF you have already updated to 1.47, why accept a 2nd update that has the same number? Kinda foolish, there's obviously an error somewhere allowing you to update twice. Would you also DL and install the same service pack to your desktop OS?

For stock rom EVO owners, you should be fine if you accept the update ONCE. Rooted, and foolish owners, you may be screwed - update AYOR.
[EVO 4G General] roshambo:
My only question that remains is if the MD5 from both the first and second downloads match from the firmware released today?
[EVO 4G General] choicewaves:
Speaking as a guy who already bricked his phone, I had no problem installing the second update to my stock phone, but DO NOT for any reason re-install the second update again to the same phone.
[EVO 4G General] TransformerX:
I only did the 'UnRevoke' root. (Didn't want to do a complete root until an official Froyo comes out). I just unistalled the apk before install...ran perfectly..no second update....... nothing! Did they lift the FPS cap? Has anyone tested?
[EVO 4G General] distortedloop:
I'm rooted and would never run an update until I was sure from the forums that it was safe to run an update, but I think it's a bit unfair to call someone foolish for running the update twice. Especially if the user is some average Joe who doesn't even read a forum like this.

First, because who would expect that once you've ran an update that it would offer itself to you again? Shouldn't/wouldn't the update software recognize that it doesn't need the update being offered? Perhaps it's a different update? How would they know? Typical users are pretty well trained to just accept updates as they're offered.

Second, I've been at this sort of thing for almost thirty years now, and I would NEVER expect that running a patch/update would brick my computer/device/software just because it had been previously ran. That's crazy, and there is something seriously wrong with the update procedures if running the same patch twice allows a bricking event.

Patches/updates generally work by either overwriting/replacing current files, or by changing certain bits in the existing files, right? If my patch says replace file xyz1 with this new xyz2 file, why should that cause a brick just because I'm replacing xyz2 with a copy of itself? If my patch says replace the byte in hex offset xyz with this new byte, why should that brick if the byte is being replaced with the itself? I know I'm oversimplifying things, but that's the basic concept, right?

Seems like an intelligently designed update process would fail if the stuff it's trying to update isn't what's expected, or would be able to handle several scenarios.

I'm thinking of OS X on Macs. We dutifully apply the updates to the OS as they come out. Then, if months down the line you have system weirdness, one of the common recommendations is to reapply the latest updates, or better yet, the COMBO update, which rolls multiple updates into one. That often fixes issues, and certainly never bricks your Mac doing it. An OTA update for your phone should behave in a more risky manner?
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
ota update pulled?

question, for those of us who are still stock. with 1.32.651.5 and tried to update to the ota on 6/28, i tried to search for the update manually and my device found no updates at the time.....did sprint pull the update? i wanted to update because i havent updated since the release date to fix the sd/radio issues on stock devices. furthermore the reason i wanted to update is because i saw on another topic that an extra feature was noticed after updating the device in the sounds and display settings for "hdmi out" with option of 480-720p .....now im curious and i want to update.
