[Galaxy S I9000 General] riz157:
Well gps seems to working better then before still not working as it should. I wouldn't recommend rooting as you will have problems connecting to kesi which I think is required to update offical sanding software.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
riz, rooting does nothing but allow you to install programs that need root access. It makes NO difference in lag, gps or connecting to kies.

Why you should root is so you can install apps like autokiller that will greatly reduce the lag issues.

Since the new firmware is out it might not be necessary to run autokiller anymore but I haven't tried that yet myself. Flashing beta or third-party firmware is more risky than rooting and harder to undo that's why I recommended you try that first.

Either I fail, or I'm completely unable to find a way to save short videos sent to me via MMS to somewhere I can share via email. Anyone got any help?

Thanks.

SOLVED.

I just downloaded Handcent. I fail.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancellini:
I'm having a serious problem. I'm using enom 2.92 froyo. But no matter what rom I flash now I can't install apps. When using the market, apps download but hang when installing and never finish. Same thing when using latest titanium backup. All the apps installed on my sd card wont showup anymore either. I use launcher pro and used to be able to force stop and get my apps to show. Now all apps in the manager in settings constantly say computing. I've tried cm6, stock, enom, etc. No luck. I always do full whipes too. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks.

It could be related to the froyo a2sd.

Try deleting the app dir on your sd card. It is called something like .private-app or .data-private etc..

Well... i want to make an app that loads a web site.. just like the Racing Live or iMobster apps..

or something that can connect to a stream of online music...

the thing is that i have a really nice web site of music called Jizzradio but i cant hear it on the nexus one, cos when the screen got turned off or when i go out of the browser, the music stops.

im not asking to someone make it... i just need a little help finding tutorials or info to make that kind of stuff.

Thx

First, you need to know Java.

Next, then you can adapt and use that for the Android platform.

There are a few good sites... anddev.org is descent with code and tutorials and a few others. But there isn't as many as you would think.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
You have to apply for AppInventor for now. It's in a BETA stage (as is a lot of google products) and it might take a while for them to approve of you.
[Nexus One General] Budske:
i asked for it... but i read that it was a to make basic apps... not so complex...

as for java, i know a little... i know PHP, mysql and i know it very well... and im asking for tutorials to see some examples and see the functions... i know if someone know how to program, u just need to learn de words and i learn looking at some examples... its not that hard

and thx for the anddev.org site.. ill be reading there and in the .developer.android.com guides

My carrier is Cellcom (local carrier in Wisconsin). I unlocked my phone with cokeman 2.31 and have the updated Alltell ROM flashed.

My ROM version is 3.10.671.1 and my radio verison is 3.42.30

Is there anything else I have to do to get GPS working? I'm testing it with Google maps, but it can't finds any satellites.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] joop135:
You have it set for "com 4" then baud is "9600"

also try Gps viewer V1.5 (google it) It will help scan phone for gps...
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Baud rate should be 4800 and not 9600. Also, make sure that Location is turned on.
[Touch CDMA General] jadesse:
57600 baud rate will works too. In fact that is what HTC GPS Viewer is defaulted too.
[Touch CDMA General] jadesse:
You may have to flash to pre-GPS ROM.

See this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533639&highlight=verizon+gps
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
GPS Viewer was never meant for the Vogue, so whatever default value you see in there isn't meant for this.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Going to a pre-GPS rom is ok, just be sure that you stay on radio versions above 3.xx.xxx or you may end up damaging the device.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akey:
I am new to Android and have only had my Nexus One since March but what I really miss about Windows Mobile devices is the ability to stream music and video from my network drive. I find it mind boggling that this feature which has been available on WM devices for every is still not possible on Android devices. Is it not possible to map a drive with Android so that the built on media player would be able to play music and video without having to download the file first?

Would appreciate and thought or comments on this.

Thanks,
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghlu:
I searched all night last night for a solution too. A lot of file explorers can map network drive but none of the media player can stream the videos (had to download, lack of codec etc). Eventually I had to setup tversity on my desktop, map the network drive on my desktop and stream video/audio through tversity's web flash interface (you can use track ball to control the interface). It's not pretty but it plays everything so far.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Get the app HomePipe there's a free and pay version.

I'm using the Free version and you can stream MP3s from your pc to android wifi or 3g.

You can add network shares from your nas too.

Bad thing is, you can only listen to the mp3 you select, if you want to queue up or look up other files, music stops. I'm only using free version, so i don't know if pro is any better.

As for videos. I have no idea.

I had an iPhone 3GS for 10 months before i went back to Android... and Air Video was freaking amazing. Wished Android had something similar.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_freeman:
I would really like to know that as well, specially over 3G..

If you have QNAP NAS you can stream .mp4 videos with QNAP APP.

This is my prob. from another thread:

Stream video over internet from QNAP to SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2.

Postby Freeman111 » Fri May 18, 2012 6:33 pm

I want to stream my videos over the Internet.

I have tried the following:

Rooted the phone.

Installed WEBDAV apps so I can get access to my Qnap and see the files (videos) BUT I can't stream them. All the video players I have tried come up with some kind of error.

However I can stream .mp4 videos using Qnaps APP QMOBILE, however it can't locate my .avi videos so thats not good. But I don't understand why I can't use WEBDAV like on

an iPhone.

I have heard of mounting folders using CIFS MANAGER, but does it also work outside your local network so you can stream movies over the internet?

And what port shall I use for CIFS manager?

Any suggestions are welcome.
[Click General] cumulus007:
The "mobile connection sharing" function doesn't work correctly on my HTC Tattoo anymore. The computer detects the device and tries to connect, but it receives no IP address from the phone.

I just tried to make USB tethering work with another ROM and now it works just fine, but I prefer my own ROM of which I made a back-up.

How to get USB tethering back to normal again on my ROM?

edit: when I enter the correct IP and DNS details manually, the connection works fine. Apparently the DHCP server is broken.

Yeah, I have noticed that I have a harder time connecting to networks when I don't have a very strong signal (when I am not very close to the access point). Seems worse than before. And worse than my G1.
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Its a small price to pay for the overall awesome update, but In my house I only get 3 bars. Up until 91 I could get the full 4 bars. Its definitely worse for me.

I've been with android since the g1, and every firmware update has been 3 steps forward and 1 step back. But hell that's still a net gain so I'm happy. Now if the next firmware update drops me to 2 bars right next to my router....
[Nexus One General] blunted09:
im with you on this one. My router is on the main floor and when im next to it i get the 2 and on occasion 3 bar symbol. Go upstairs and my bars drop to 1 bar firm! I did just come off of the 85b and nothing was different then either. Maybe its time for a new router. Im gonna buy an up to date router and see if its different. Is yours possibly old?
[Nexus One General] NexusX:
Well this is a universal problem, with my hosp wifi network as well as my home and my gf. So yeah... oh well, I am still happy but still boosting the Wifi range might be good.
[HD2 General] Mega Maniac:
I have recently been having problems with my HD2. Blue bands have been appearing on the device, across all tabs and applications. It seems as if its completely intermittent but when it appears it seems to stay on the phone until it is left with the screen off for 15mins or so and then it seems to disappear.

This problem first manifested when I was using the Energy ROM series but I have since tried other ROM's and also now reverted back to stock ROM and SPL from the HTC website.

Please see this video , you can clearly see the blue bands that affect the device.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jskIp7KUa9g

I have organised for my phone to be sent off to HTC for repair, but I am worried they will use a small bit of damage to the bottom of the phone which has nothing to do with this problem as an excuse to charge me for the repair. The purpose of this topic is really to ask if anyone else has experienced this problem with their phone, and if so did they get it repaired by HTC and what was the process like?

Thanks - MM

I just tried to root my HTC Legend with the guide at modaco

I have bootloader 0.43.0001 (or something like that) and a rom version of 1.31.x (cant remember exactly)

I successfully made a goldcard, did step 1 and (I think) successfully did step 2. It went into the custom recovery screen but I couldnt navigate with the volume buttons. I also couldnt use the power button to select. I could use power and vol up to go to the standard recovery screen.

everything seems succesful in the screen on my computer but at the bottom of the recovery screen on my phone it says: "build : not set"

I have tried repeating step2-linux.sh and touching the screen itself but to no avail.

I would appreciate the help! is there any way to interface with the custom recovery screen via usb maybe?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] repvik:
Can't find a x10 mini pro forum? Anyway, my wife has one, and she's missing a LOT of apps from the Market that I find from my Desire. Are there restrictions on what apps show up, and can they be switched off?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
It depends where you bought the phone from. different countries have different availabilities with apps.

also dont forget the x10 mini screen is really small - screen resolution limits the use of many apps. perhaps SE has taken initiative and removed all the apps that dont work with the minis from their market
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] junglepunk:
When devs post apps to the market they can list certain requirements that the app needs to work. One of those requirements can be screen resolution. If the phone doesn't match the requirements then the app won't show up in the market. Simple as that. However there is nothing stopping you from installing the apps manually. Often times the app works perfectly fine anyway. I have the Mini and have tried it with several apps. Some will have a messed up UI look but it still works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gnayres:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
I was using Ovi Maps as my main navigation because it is brilliant so that's one feature I miss in my old E72... the thing with the E72 is that it badly needed better software and as an owner of it since about Dec09 I realised it early on with lots of random crashes, calls dropping, needing to pop out battery at least once a week, etc. - main thing for me is having a qwerty keyboard having being a Bold9000 owner before, I felt E72 had the best keyboard on the market. The minipro keyboard is good though so I don't have any regrets. The E72 was very slim in the pocket and the minipro is very similar because its still small in size. The fun part of owning a minipro is that, even tho its android 1.6, the software works great and feels good to use. Everything you wanted in the E72, like strong email support (exchange for example) is all there. I liked the front facing cam on the E72, but honestly I never used it! The main device cameras are the same quality and both very impressive. I feel happy going to the minipro and think the E72 was mainly let down by buggy software and poor support from nokia. Hope this was useful!

Hi, all.

I am completely new here, and have heard many users talking about how **update** only works on rooted devices. I would like to know what the advantages and disadvantages of rooting my phone would be, considering I have a phone with warranty and insurance from the supplier.

Thanks in advance to all users who can help.

Andy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mobydeek:
Tethering, Custom ROMs with optimised performance, Take Screenshots of your phone... are the usual reponses you will get.

Personally, none of these are really important to me. The main reason I rooted is the fact that one day HTC will stop producing official updates for your phone (it seems 2.1 is the last for Hero users). But with root, you can soon flash on Android 2.2 (CyanogenMod 6).

If you dont want to void your warranty just yet... wait til you are desparate for 2.2
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Andyt95:
Thanks for the reply, but seen as it seems the only disadvantage is voiding the warranty, surely it is a good idea to root as I have insurance, which should cover all things covered in the warranty?

EDIT: Does rooting keep the sense UI?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jazzjunkz:
Hey Andyt95. :)

As mobydeek has pointed out, there is definately a reason to root your Hero and rooting will only enhance your device. I'm not sure about this (somebody else will have to clarify for me)..But even if you was to root your device, you could, in essence, revalidate your warranty by flashing back to an older ROM (RUU) which in essence resets your entire phone back to how it was.

Anyway, before I confuse you - Rooting more or less means gaining full access to your phone..that's it pretty much, meaning that nothing else changes apart from the fact you can do more with it if you so desire. :)

Once your phone is 'rooted', you'll be able to 'flash' custom ROM's which will get the most out of your phone..including overclocking! (if you wish to, not compulsary).

Alot of the people from around these parts root their devices the same day they buy them. It's definately a plus thing and something that I definately recommend doing if you wish to see the better side to your Hero. :-)

If at all you do wish to progress, there are plenty of people that will be more than happy to guide you along the way - including myself. Take a look around, see what you think and go from there. :)
