[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alchopop:
as the title says is it possible to run a task 29 from SD card? I ask because if I can then I can eliminate my PC from the upgrade process completely.

I could download and unpack latest ROM from web straight to phone

run task 29

install latest ROM from SD card

run Sashimi or xda_uc to auto install apps and setting etc

job done

just missing the 2nd step.

alright i know i got this somewhere on another forum and found it to be a great way to wifi tether out of the box with out root

on the phone do ##778 goto edit mode enter 000000 then into the security settings change the S.IP DUN User name to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com and back out of there to the M.IP Default Profile and change your DUN NAI to yourvzwnumber@vwz3g.com hit menu and hit Commit Modifications.

I have tested and verified this works 100% with no problems.

Granted to have the 3g mobile hot spot option you need to have loaded the leaked OTA but i see this would also work when 2.2 is released!

Also sorry if this is in the wrong area and please feel free to move it where it belongs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
I am just using the wifi tether app from the market place.. I am scared if I am using the VZW app I will get hit with charges.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] outsid0r:
make no mistake im using the wifi tether app too but this is an alternative as this also gives you a widget option for turning on and off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
Sweet has anyone confirmed no charges or crazy letters from VZW??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nstavr:
One thing I did notice is that this method uses infrastructure as opposed to the ad-hoc mode of wireless tether.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
well thats some good news then
[Droid Incredible Android Development] socalracer:
the method which you described is on xda some place, the thread was started right near the time the phone came out in late april. it also doesnt not require root, but it is a usb tether not wifi tether. i dont believe you can do wifi tether without root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nstavr:
I believe this will work without root. You just need to apply the leaked OTA and make the appropriate changes in the first post. I'm not able to verify that since I'm rooted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dkhait:
i cant get my laptop to get the ip address. i was able to connect to the mobile hot spot but cannot get the ip address. i tried, wep, wpa and no key. Any ideas???

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] outsid0r:
have you tried repairing on your computer and also verifiying your TCP/IP settings on your laptop that its set to accept DHCP and not be static
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Θmega:
yourvzwnumber@vwz3g.com is the username that your phone uses to connect to the internet, and yourvzwnumber@dun.vwz3g.com is what Mobile Broadband Connect and the 3G Mobile Hot Spot uses to connect.

Unless you're using obscene amounts of data you shouldn't be caught. This is doing exactly the same thing that the Wifi Tethering app and PDANet does, though I can certainly understand why you'd be scared.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dkhait:
it works fine with wireless tether. same laptop same settings
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BlueWyvern:
Does anyone know if this works (with the appropriate @xxx.com) for sprint phones like the hero or the evo 4g? Couldn't find anything in their forums.

Thanks and sorry for the wrong phone section post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] outsid0r:
I would imagine if u looked at their settings that it should work, but thats a SHOULD only way to know is to give it a shot and if it doesnt then you need to remember what the settings were prior.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mattwood2000:
Guys, be careful with this - I used to do this with my VX8300 back in the day and although it worked great, I eventually did get a letter from VZW saying to stop or they would terminate my contract, and I didnt even use it that much.

Just a heads up...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kbnguy:
O'RLY?

I've used this for long time from the Vogue to Imagio and now DINC, nothing happened...

Did you tether to P2P? Downloading bunch of stuff? If so, you're sticking out like a sore thumb...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Oddity:
Yeah wonder how they would find out. It's the same exact internet connection that your phone uses. You're just "sharing" it with other devices. How would Verizon be able to tell if you're using that same internet but on a different device? Assuming of course that you aren't using it for online gaming or torrents or other bandwidth intensive applications.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Θmega:
The VX8300 didn't have much of a browser. I imagine if you ever did much of anything on there and didn't have a tethering plan then it would look suspicious.

Hello Greg, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand how important it is for you to have your phone function the way it should. Right now there is an issue going on with facebook across all mobile devices, it is not specific to you or your device, we believe it is an issue with Facebook itself and hope that it is resolved as soon as possible.

[EVO 4G General] prjkthack:
Have to say, I removed my Facebook account from sync and tried adding it back. I can log in, but all my friends no longer show up and sync properly. So something still must be going on with Facebook.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
Hopefully an update that will give us notification when a message is sent :) Something so simple and yet they can't implement it. How about facebook chat while we are at it. I heard rumors that Froyo should allow for push notification like it does with IPHONE. The IPHONE app is a more polished APP. Why can't they replicate that one for Android?

I am not a big facebook fan but I have friends( Yes I pay them monthly ) that likes to chat on it.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I never could get the facebook app that came with my phone to work, I ended up trying to delete it and downloading the android app from facebook.com. Works great so far except I can't (or don't know how to) accept friend requests with it.

If you are trying to get your facebook friends to show up in your contacts, go to contacts and hit menu view and make sure that facebook is checked.[/QUOTE]

This didnt work for me but there is an app called syncmypix in the market that works excellent.......
[EVO 4G General] aquarinard:
sycmypix

for all having issues syncing facebook contacts go to the market and download syncmypix and it does the job....
[EVO 4G General] Bobby_C:
I don't think you guys seem to understand the problem. This isn't just sync'ing pics. If you wiped your Evo (or any mobile device) and try to load your friends from facebook, they won't sync.

IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK SERVERS!

Try it. Delete your facebook app and links, re-add them and try to sync again.

... Just installed Syncmypix and all it does is add photos. Nothing more. I don't know about others but this does not "do the job" of syncing facebook contacts. Just the pic.
[EVO 4G General] darkfluid:
Yes, this just started and you can search other web sites, many people are now reporting it. It's a problem on the server side at face book, they've changed something.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
That is what I figured when I tried to view my "facebook phonebook" in my people directory.

First it said that I didn't have any friends, so I decided to do a refresh. During the refresh, I noticed that it just hanged (with the little circle spinning in the top-right corner). Then it exited out of the program saying "unable to connect" :mad:
[EVO 4G General] b1indsided:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cor848:
hi i wanted to say that gps in my xperia is not working, or I dont know how to turn it on.

when i turn on the google maps it says it need data connection, but what if i dont have wi-fi availible? :confused:

should I download some other gps program? update quick GPS (i dont even know which version is the newest)

seekin for help, thanks in advance

of course first I set it to port 4, but still need internet , what a crap :S
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
The fact that Google Maps asks for a data connection has nothing to do with your phones gps capabilities. It simply needs a connection to download the maps from Googles server. If you want an offline solution look for navicomputer at www.navicomputer.com or another program that works offline. Disadvantage: Most of them are commercial.

To use gps with Google Maps you have to activate gps in the settings of Google Maps. And if you want to use quick gps you also need a data connection because it does nothing more than download the current position of the satelites to get a quicker fix.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cor848:
thank you sir :) I was almost sure about that, but I didnt want to spend my time downloading my country maps for a long time to offline GPS .. but I have no choice

and btw can anyone of you guys recommend me some kind of freeware gps software for my xperia?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Freeware solutions:

-Navicomputer (Openstreetmap)

-Openmobilemaps (Openstreetmap, small donation required)

-Google Maps (data connection required)

-Bing (data connection required)

There are many other solutions. Search the XDA Forums or like always: Google is your friend.

What is more difficult is finding a freeware point-to-point navigation program. Bing provides this (US only) but most other are commercial software.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cor848:
ok i downloaded and installed navicomputer, but where do I get maps for it? :S cuz all I see is world map, but i cant zoom in to my country or anything. just google it?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Either use the software for your desktop/ notebook provided by the developer to download maps and transfer them to your device afterwards or download the maps directly to your device using navicomputer (there is a feature to do this). Or switch navi computer to online mode.

If you want more info read through the website of navicomputer or the corresponding thread here at XDA in the "Windows Mobile Development And Hacking\Windows Mobile Apps And Games" section. Like I wrote before: Perform a search here at XDA. Everyone who wants to know something has to, me too :-)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yinjianweizxc:
I never use the google maps...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cor848:

and what maps source provider u mean? i dont get it
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cor848:
apologise, i forgot to restart PC after framework installation, after I did it it works perfectly :) thanks ppl!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
See, I told you it works :-) I hope everything is alright now.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cor848:
yep, big + for you, cuz u recommended me this and helped me out, as far as im concerned its the best freeware GPS soft :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
The software is really good. The only problem is the coverage of openstreetmap. If your desired area is covered well everything is great. If not it (bad coverage) renders navicomputer useless. It's coverage can't compete with Google Maps. But at least you can contribute to the openstreetmap project and do some mapping yourself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] svet-am:
The official FroYo FRF91 build caused all kinds of problems on my phone (crashes, lock-ups, bad WiFi connectivity, etc). FRF85B worked much better so I'm trying to find the download links that will get me from the original PASSIMG up to FRF85B manually.

My phone is rooted and unlocked (I did this to prevent the FRF91 OTA from bugging me) so I'm pretty versed in what's going on. I just need the links and can't find them anymore (I think it's that my Google-Fu is weak).
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
Picked up a Vibrant a few days ago, but Im having some issue restoring my apps using Titanium backup 3.3.2.

I having an issue where Titanium Backup says its restoring, but just sits there doing nothing. Somehow Ive managed to get it to restore once, but I had to wipe and now I cant get it to restore for the life of me. Tried w/ original busybox and the one that downloads inside titanium, both w/o success. Seems that titanium has some sort of issue w/ the Galaxy S.

Has anyone found a solution that allows you to restore your apps? Thanks!

EDIT: Whats really strange is if I try to hide titanium, relaunch it, and try and backup. It gives the message "backup already in progress" but for whatever reason it moves onto the next app...so strange

EDIT2: FIXED IT thanks to Joel, the awesome dev behinf titanium. Go into options and change the install method to "AUTO, Indirect" and it should work. Hope this helps others!

Now click Preferences, App Installer Mode and change that to Auto INDIRECT, by default it will use Auto, Direct.

Now try to run a batch restore :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] granduke:
Still nothing, when I press RUN I just go back to the Backup/Restore screen.

Should I then be looking for a GO or LAUNCH button?

This same thing happens on my G1, so it must be an evident stupid mistake I'm making, but I can't figure out what.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
If your on the Vibrant now. you would once you open TB, push the soft key all the way to the left and a menu will come up.

Go into preferences from here.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] granduke:
Ah. had a bad install of Ti Backup.

Reinstalled and works as ordered now.

thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rsfaze:
ah sorry I misunderstood.

Couple questions.

Does the backup/restore batch commands your running show a number to the right indicating how many apps are being restored/backed up?

TB should request Super User permissions when it first launches, but to make sure open Super User and make sure you see TB in the list of allowed applications.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] granduke:
Thanks for your help. Everything works fine now.

See my previous edited post.

Don't recall ever having to reinstall a faulty app before. Still it is something I should have checked earlier.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SykesAT:
Since the OPs problem has been sorted, I hope its Ok that I post a problem.

I wanted to do a factory reset to see if it would improve some performance issues.

- DLed Ti

- menu > batch > run "backup all user apps and sys data" > select all > run (all items under backup/restore tab had check, smilie, or smilie with M)

- factory reset

- installed Ti

- menu > batch > run "restore all apps and data" > select all > run

- clicked "install" for each downloaded app (is this normal or should it be automatic?) data was reinstalled automatically

- rebooted

All downloaded apps were restored and settings were restored.

market dl history was not restored, system user data was not restored (browser bookmarks, text, call log etc)

- opened Ti

- menu > batch > run "restore missing apps and all sys data" > select all > run

- reboot

market links are now restored but still no texts, call log, browser bookmarks, wifi keys, bluetooth pairings etc.

I'm great full that Ti made restoring apps so much easier but I know it can restore all sys user data as well. What did miss or do wrong?

Ok so I have an issue where i was flashing the ROM Tranquility for my droid x and it was difficult to get it running but now it seems to be going ok.

I have found numerous apps to do this.

Has anyone encountered it and solved it? I've tried everything including indirect but all I can do is reinstall the apps and set them up again.
