[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RJ45:
Hey Everyone,

I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

The issue I have (it's on ALL of my WM phones) and it's an issue with my provider. Anytime I am on 3G, the timestamp of my received SMS' are exactly one hour behind. So if my phone drops to EDGE or GPRS, my received SMS' timestamps are correct. My provider, no matter how much I complain (this used to even happen with a WM device I bought from them!) they always say they will do something about it yet they never have. And a FYI for anyone that is going to recommend me using the timestamp cab fix, that does not solve this problem.

Now the only workaround I've been doing for a the longest time is forcing all my phones onto 3G however there are spots which have no 3G so if I'm in the middle of a phone call, my call drops or I don't get any SMS', etc.

I've gotten sick of the dropped calls (I'm mostly in my basement which gets 3G only in certain parts of it) so I've been using my backup iPhone 3G (which doesn't have this problem, go figure) until I can find a registry tweak or something to force my Blackstone to use the phone's actual time vs my providers SMS timestamp.

Is there anyone that can give me any place to start looking in the registry that I can play around with the figure it out?

Thanks in advance for everyone for their help. I love this community!

Hi All

Long time readers very small time poster. I have a fair few android devices that I play with on and recieve to review regulary and at times I dont get sent anything other than a phone. No install disc, drivers ETC.

My Question I ask is there a way to create these ADB Drivers for windows for these devices or is there a repository on where these are located?

Help guidance assistance is most welcome and would be greatly thankful.

Sluz
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Squirrelmayo:
I guess it depends on which devices you are talking about. There is a forum post on this site for ADB drivers for the G1, there is a page I found for the Evo at htcevohacks site. Also, the drivers are generally contained in the SDK if you download it. For HTC devices, the HTC Sync software automatically installs the ADB drivers for your device. If you do it the HTC Sync way, it for some reason never shows ADB device in your device manager though. I would post links for you but I still can't yet since I'm a new user. Hope this helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sluzpuppet:
thanks Squirrelmayo

At present I am trying to hunt down the ADB drivers for the LG GT540 "Optimus"

any help as where to look, LG does not have anything on there site. All sties I have visited have no drivers. Althou i could be blind.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] britoso:
the driver comes with the sdk but may not have the device ids specific to your model. If you can find these then you can simply add 6 lines to the .inf (for windows)

Works for the incredible,not sure about other models.

The device/usb ids may be obtainable from device manager when you see the device detected icon. (yellow questionmark)

[EVO 4G General] mdaddy:
My first EVO 4G was purchased on launch day from the local sprint store, but unfortunately my 1yr old son threw the phone and cracked the screen.

The insurance replaced the phone (for $100) and I just received it today. It appears to be *new* (not refurbished) and I wanted to share what I received to help others who may be in a similar spot.

Surprisingly I was able to completely restore my nandroid from the old phone and it ran perfect on the new phone despite the different hardware version and panel.

Old Phone:

Model #: PC36100

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband Version: 1.39.00.05.31

Kernel: ffolkes v4.2 for froyo

Kernel Version: 2.6.29-a2443432 Matrix@MacBookPro #383

Build (ROM): EVOlution V9 froyo

Hardware: 0002

Panel: Novatek

fps2d: 51 (stdev 6.21)

SetCPU: 245-998, ondemand

New Phone: (restored nandroid from above)

** Did not come with the latest OTA patch! I was able to root with the 1 click (well 3 clicks) application ***

Model #: PC36100

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband Version: 1.36.00.04.02 (old)

Kernel: ffolkes v4.2 for froyo

Kernel Version: 2.6.29-a2443432 Matrix@MacBookPro #383

Build (ROM): EVOlution V9 froyo

Hardware: 0003

Panel: Epson

fps2d: 52 (stdev 9.53)

SetCPU: 245-998, ondemand

I was very surprised that the fps cap was fixed on the new phone, since the panels are different. But after some reading it appears that v4.2 of the kernel I'm using had both the Epson fix and the Novatek fix.

So now that I've shared -- let me ask:

1) What updates should I do to this phone to get the "latest and greatest" while still maintaining Froyo+Wifi+FPS fix?

a) ROM?

b) Radio?

c) Kernel?

2) I will factory reset the old phone before sending it back, should I worry about restoring a stock ROM/kernel?
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
I just returned my black 002 evo yesterday to best buy and got a white 003. i ran the latest RUU before I returned it, but they never even looked at the phone! IIRC they didnt even take it out of the box. I would still restore it back to stock with the latest RUU anyways.. just to be safe.
[EVO 4G General] mikevillarroel:
I did the same, and they never even looked at the corners when it was pretty scratched (due to a early flight to the floor)
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Since you're doing an insurance replacement restoring to factory is not necessary.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0ark:
Hi, my N1 is rooted with FRF91 and I would like to know how to increase the text/font size system wide. I searched but nothing came up so far. I know that there's an app called "font size", but it's not free and I have no idea whether it would work. But, it's unbelievable that Android does not have this feature built-in where the Blackberry and iPhone got it. If I were 65 years old or older, there's no way I would buy an Android phone because of this.

Thanks!

I'm having some issues with my settings. Can a fellow Non-Sprint Hero owner help me out with some EPST settings?

For those who don't know, here's how you get them:

1- Call ##3282#..... The EPST Menu will come up.

2- Press "View"..... You will be given 3 menu selections: Data Profile, EVDO, Advanced.

Can someone go through those and let me know what their settings are?

Please, omit values you think are personal (like ESN #)

You could always make a goldcard and root/unlock it yourself :)

would I still have the Android 2.1 with HTC sense, if I root with a goldcard? Also will I be able to update it to 2.2 (whenever it is available) Over The Air??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
You would still have 2.1 this is how i started;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

and then i just jumped to a cooked ROM

as for over the air im not actually too sure about that might be a matter of jkust flashing to the 2.2 when it eventually drops in like 2weeks - 2months :D

Like when you move an icon from one home screen to another, you slide it to the edge and wait. I've tried a few different cases and they all have such a high edge on them taht they inhibit my thumb/finger's ability to go all the way to the edge of the screen - making it virtually impossible to move an icon.

The bigger issue is that it affects my typing when trying to quickly swype through the "P" or "Q", etc.

So...anyone have a case with a very low profile..allowing your finger to glide over that are similar to a case-less phone? I rarely, if ever, see that being discussed when cases are talked about.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mattymo:
I too am interested in what people have to say about this. I have a 2-piece hard case i don't use because it prevents me from using Swype effectively, so i just resorted to the Zagg full-body screen and avoid putting things in my pocket alongside my phone lol
[Droid Incredible Accessories] noahjk:
I just use the verizon high gloss black case. it's a great fit. I actually had the body glove before but moved down to this one... don't drop my phone so I don't feel a need for a huge case ya know? I can now use swype and drag effectively as well.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] magicmycote:
Is the verizon case a two piece snap on or a flexible pull on?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] UgXvibe:
Try the 'ElCheapo' in my sig.. swype works GREAT with it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] gadget!:
The Verizon case is a one piece flexible pull on.

I does have the raised lip you are talking about but it is not as pronounced as some of the aftermarket cases I've seen.

Here is one on eBay (this is the one I bought).

Verizon HTC Incredible Black Silicone Gloss Cover OEM

Just a side note...

When moving items from one screen to the other, I find it hard even without a case. A solution that works for me is to press the item you want to move and then use the virtual trackball to move from one screen to the other.

not that I'm moving icons around constantly, but this will definitely help me, thanks!

I have never had any troubles with swype while using this case. It covers no section of the screen and grips onto the small outer edge of the phone. Works like a charm!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikeacela:
I also hate hitting my case when swyping the screen. I find that the argile design case from amzer.com works best for me and I've been using it for a month.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] dali137:
admittedly, I don't have my DInc just yet but I ordered/received the Seidio Innocase Actice II for HTC Incredible... It came with a cardboard insert that mimics the phone actually being inside of it... The edges on this case seem to be really low profile and with this cardboard insert my finger can easily glide off edges.

You can get find an in-motion view of the same case for Evo on Youtube—I can't link as I am a n00b

My DInc is coming tomorrow so I will update with results but with the silicone edges and a slight inner bevel to this I think it may be what you're looking for... case features an outer exoskeleton that protects back and corners for more protection than just the silicone material could offer.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] vantagejuan:
Thanks a bunch for this. Handhelditems.com is amazing!! I just ordered two "ElCheapo" skins and a 3-pack of screen protectors with express shipping (3-5 days) shipping for $15. I've seen a good review of the screen protectors and I think I'll wind up being very pleased for the money.

the Barely There case by Case-Mate is the best i've seen thus far. I absolutely love mine. Though the face of the screen isn't protected very well, the corners and back are. Its material feels the same as the battery cover on the back of the device. It looks nice and is very comfortable.

Well, I just got my cases and screen protectors yesterday. The cases are fantastic for the price. The screen protectors on the other hand were all cut to big and left bubbles after applying them, so I'm having them send me new ones. At least it was only $4 for all three.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DjCalvin:
I picked up the Spect case from my local VZW yesterday. I had the faded black/red from vzw and I hated the sides on it.. I wanted a one piece, not a 2 piece..

well this one is friggin awesome. The sales folks working there had never heard/seen the case before and In the 30 minutes I was in the store, 4 employees bought it after playing with it on my phone and 2 additional customers bought it as well. its a one piece design and the interior is cloth so it wont scratch up the screen. I dont have an issue with Swype as it doesn't cover the front at all.

Well worth checking out...

Innocase ii here, no issues at all.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] UgXvibe:
Your welcome! :P What colors did you get? I got the black first then ordered the Burgundy later on.. I was kinda hoping it would be a bit darker though.

Did they give you any kinda application fluid for the screen protectors?

well unrevoked basically let you do anything root would except remove bloatware and flash roms

I did everything and it seemed to work all the way through step 4 but i try to run titanium backup or rom manager and it acts like my phones not rooted, i have new apps on my phone since i rooted it like stc ssd test, hdmi controller, ciq tools, wimax settings, wimax router, wimax tool. So it looks like something happened but no apps act like im rooted. when i try to use rom manger it says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands" and titanium backup says root failed and says i have to be rooted. what went wrong? what do i do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
ok, you need to also flash the second file listed on the first post. That gives you back root. If you still dont have NAND after that, its a symple syntax via shell to get it back
