It's a rootkit
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Doofenshmirtz:
Always a way

Is that really that easy to root an android device? Even from a remote point? That means I should never be worried about updating my phone, there’s always a way to obtain root access after that. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] tiho5:
After you zoom Opera would try to snap on to a text column automatically. I really don’t like this, but couldn’t find a way to disable it. I think it might have something to do with text column wrapping to match the width of the screen for better and easier reading.

But can it be disabled? I prefer a behavior close to a normal desktop browser. I was not able to find any posts that offer a solution or even mention this.

Can anyone help?

Android has pretty much taken over the XDA-Portal

Everyday there are more and more posts about users who switched over from winmo to android.

I am planing on buying WP7 device, but my fear is I'll be one of few to do so, and as a result of this there will be little development going on for the device. I am a pretty die-hard windows fan so I hope they regain some popularity with WP7.

What does everyone think?

I wouldn´t worry for that, despite Android is now "in fashion" as soon as WP7 arrives will happen the same:cool:

I am also looking forward WP7 I´m sure it will be a funny one too:)
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
Dont worry if your WP7 device is lacking in WP development, Im sure there will be several ways and ROMs to run Android on it :)

Can someone explain to me the "greatness" of WinMo? From what I've seen of it, it's terrible :<.

Then again, I've only seen 1 WinMo Phone and it was a weird one.
[General Topics] maxpower097:
WM is great because of the amount of free software available for it and the openness of the OS. Yes many times the carriers do a lousy job of programming their version of the phone software but thats where the custom roms come in. Remeber iOS and Android are babies in the world of phone software. So most of the worst specs for an android phone are really good for WM. That being said take about any WM phone and hack it with a good stable custom rom and you will be amazed. I've seen many of hte new android phones and I can say I 'm not that impressed. I think its a great phone for people who aren't phone smart. Thats not saying you can't root it and do really cool things with it. But out of the box its pretty locked down. Unfortunately WP7 is going the way of android and iOS because of their success putting smart phones in normal non techies hands. But for the true techie WM is where its at. Hoped that helped. I fear owning my HD2 for years because all the new phones will be locked down like iphone.
[General Topics] davidstre:
hopefully this eases your concerns about lockdown

one of my great friends recevied their developers wp7 device just the other day and theyve already hacked deep into it, done a plethora of customizations and so on. with wp7 i think we will see more apps and such since they say it has lots of appeal to developers. weve got xda, so we hopefully will never have to face a locked down windows phone haha

i agree, if you are very phone smart, and want to get your phone the exact way you like it windows is where its at. they get a bad rep in the smartphone world only because there is a pretty big learning curve before you can truly dig into the device.

[General Topics] boborone:
I've been seeing alot about this on other sites. Devs seem to want the os cause it's market is not filled to the brims so thier apps get lost. First ones out the gate wins kinda thing. I'm eager to see what happens, though I plan on replacing my two raph's with a captivate. I'm really not digging the multitasking in wp7.
[General Topics] GbrilliantQ:
The rumored specs for the HD3 has me very interested in WP7. 4.5" 1280x800 screen, 1.5ghz dual core, 1gb ram, 32gb mem. Depends on the Apps too. I really like the Android market more so than what WinMo has offered. I'm a diehard WinMo user, but after running Android on my HD2.... I've found myself using WinMo less and less and less.

edit: Does WP7 even allow 1280x800 screen res? hmm.
[General Topics] gio300zx:
If you use Outlook (I do for both business and personal), the sync between PC and device using ActiveSync/WMDC is (although far from perfect) essential. Doing sync between Android devices and Outlook appears to require either 3rd party apps of variable reliability/ease and/or use of Google mail and calendar. If you're paranoid about your data (like me) and don 't want to use someone else to store it, that make WinMo about the only option. So I think the corporates will keep WinMo alive and XDA-dev will keep it interesting!

Could be interesting stuff between the release of Android 3.0 and WM7...
[General Topics] davidstre:
its important for everyone to know these 3 thing:

-WP7 will be sending ota updates to the phone directely from microsoft. these updates will improve performance in some cases, and add features in other cases. microsofts goal is to bypass the carrier and avoid all of the bs that comes with carriers.

- keeping this in mind, microsoft has two major updates scheduled ALREADY for release within the the first few months of the phones release. one update is the addition of copy and paste, the other is suppose to have something to do with multi tasking

-they intentionally left copy and paste out of launch so they could distribute it in an ota update.

the multitasking issue isnt a bad thing actually. you can run as many native apps as you want at the same time, you just cant run multiple third party apps at the same time. HOWEVER, lets say i am running a third party app (app1) then lets say i launch a second third party app (app2) app1's state will be saved and placed in the background on "pause" if you will, while app2 runs. if i relaunch app1 its last known state will be restored and app2 will go into pause.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jak2rocks:
I have a G1 running stock 1.6, and this just happened randomly. One day I can hear everything out of the back speaker such as notifications and music, and the next, nothing... I need to know if I need to replace the speaker, or if re-flashing my device would hopefully fix this. It still vibrates for the notifications and I get the LED flashes, I just don't hear anything. And all the volumes are all the way up. Also, if I do factory reset from the settings, would it go back to stock 1.6, or would it go to 1.1? :confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
If you're running stock, chances are your speaker just went out. I don't think they're replaceable without replacing the whole motherboard. I actually tried to Google this for a friend and all my efforts yielded no fruit other than motherboard swapping. It's probably easier to just buy a new G1 or upgrade with T-Mobile or service provider. You can also check to see if you have warranty with T-Mobile or your service provider.

Edit: No, a factory reset will not downgrade Android. It will erase all apps and set all settings back to factory default.

Also, Android version tree is as such:

1.5 - Cupcacke

1.6 - Donut

2.1 - Eclair

2.2 - Froyo

3.0 - Gingerbread (unreleased)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jak2rocks:
Well, the thing is, I haven't been with T-Mobile in over a year cuz I owe them $400, but I still use it for everything else through my wifi. I've had it since Feb. '08. And I know what the versions are, but when the G1 first came out, it had 1.1 and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a "code name" like the other releases. I mentioned it cuz when I've rooted my device, I had to go to 1.1 temporarily. Also, I took the back off my G1 (the one you have to screw off) and the speaker is right there, so I think it is replaceable without replacing motherboard. And I found out about the factory reset, I went and did it, but I forgot that I need to connect with my Google account so I have to wait for my brother to get here so I can use his SIM card.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] skakkix:
i gathered information from a few threads in the XDA X10 forum to create an app remover for my X10...

it creates backups of all the apps it removes to /sdcard/apps.

it utilizes the list of safely removable apps created by biktor_gj.

i figured i should share it.

it does not remove facebook. i like facebook.

i suggest creating C:\android\ (or another single word folder of your choice, C:\utility\ would be just as acceptable) and extracting the files to that folder.

Too bad you didn't post this yesterday. I had all sorts of trouble with the cleanup.cmd script messing up my root attempts while trying to upgrade to 026 last night. It's all straightened out now though.

I take it everything needed is in the package (I see adb.exe and appremoval.cmd). It might be helpful to have a description (in commented code) of what each line actually removes in layman's terms (many of these can be pulled from Chewitt's thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714021).

Ideally, I'd love to see a Windows UI front-end for something like this (and for the whole root method for that matter), but this looks good.
[Captivate General] thatspat2:
Hi everyone,

Anyone else having an issue with voicemail notifications after installing Google Voice?

I constantly have a new voicemail notification in my bar that is driving me crazy. I have no new messages and even deleted all previous messages but cannot get this notification to go away.

To be more specific it is the phone's own voicemail notification icon that will not dissapear. I have voice set to text an alert when I get a voicemail, so I'd like there not to be any notifications in the bar. I disabled notifications within Google Voice's settings but it appears to be the stock alert that I cannot disable.

Thanks in advance.

Solved, there was a message in my carrier inbox that my phone was trying to access from google voice.

hi

I have this question, how ROM I use on my WinMo can have effects on android ?

they say with Miri's V17 there is no robotic noise during the calls, bud I have lot's of problems with that.

what are other effects of it ? My battery use on WinMo is 1% every two hours, but in Android (v5 desire build) on airplane mode it is 1% every 10 minutes ! does it change with using another rom ?

thanks for your time

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gxs1:
Hello and thank you ahead of time for reading my thread. I spent a good deal of time searching for solutions in your forums but couldn't find anything related, so apologies if this is a repost.

I recently flashed my stock htc incredible with the leaked 2.2 ROM. While the flashing and installation of the new OS was successful, the phone itself is now acting really weird.

First, it is incredibly slow. There is a noticeable lag between the time I touch the screen and the time the touch actually registers. For example, to dial a number, I have to long press every button for it to register.

The second and much more annoying issue is the phone starts doing all sorts of things on its own. When sending a text message for example, all these keys are randomly pressed, it goes to the desktop, back to sending a text, inputs all these random characters, and sometimes frustratingly on occasion sends the text message on its own. This happens on and off and I haven't been able to figure out what triggers.

My question is, what can I do to fix it? I've reinstalled the ROM several times already and the problems appear every single time.

If I can't fix it, I'd love to go back to my previous stock rom and just wait for HTC's update.

Your help is greatly appreciated it.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingup:
have you cleared data and cache? do you have clockworkmod recovery install? please go through all the steps you went through to install the 2.2 leak
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidbath5546:
If ur rooted then u have clockworkmod installed...you should do a factory reset thru clockworkmod and wipe all data and cache ...

Then after that perhaps try a good and stable ROM ..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gxs1:
Wow thank you for such a prompt response.

I followed the steps in this thread:

[ROM]Leaked Stock 2.2 with Sense [LEAKED ROM - SOME BUGS!!]

(it's on the development front page, I would post a link but since I am a new member I am not allowed to).

In summary, I first updated to Radio version indicated in that thread (version 2).

I then ran unrevoked 3 which installed clockworkmod recovery. Then, I did a wipe. After, in the recovery screen I installed from the zip file of the mod that was in my SD card.

This is all I have done to date.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidbath5546:
Okay...good to go.

You should boot into recovery aka clockworkmod...

Then do factoryreset wipe cache and data...

And I would recommend u install a ROM that u would like and u should be fine.

if ya like sense do skyraider....if ya like vanilla do CM6 test 8....and ya should be okay

If ya get stuck feel free to pm me and I can give u my Gtalk and can help furthur if ya need.

Cheers

I was having this problem too. I solved it by cleaning the screen and making sure my hands werent sweaty before use. I think thays why it didnt register the touch
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gxs1:
These were my thoughts too initially but I've checked and double checked and cleaned the screen thorouhgly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoreclipse:
With an eyglass cleaninn cloth? That worked for me.

I first came across the problem while testing the rom i made, jdfroyo, so initially thought it was my rom. I wiped my hands (which were sweaty) and then thoroughly cleaned my phone off. I havent had issues since.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tats_06:
I have heard that cleaning screen with a certain product (don't remember if it was like soap or alcohol) is not recommended as it leaves an almost invisible layer and can send it to that whacko stage of doing weird stuff. Double check on that... Otherwise, I am with the others > Wipe data/cache > then do a ROM re-flash. :)

Hi,

Thanks all for your help. And thanks to acid for helping me out on gtalk.

After trying several different ROMs, my phone continues to be really laggy. For example, I can type an entire word in the keyboard before it appears on the screen, and usually only the first few letters register.

I think my screen is just malfunctioning and it happened to coincide with the day I flashed my phone so I am just going to do a warranty exchange.

Thanks again everyone!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
question though in regards to google voice (GV). Does this use my tmobile minutes or is this voip (use the internet for calls)? I assume internet calls right? but only for outgoing? what about incoming, does it just forward to my tmobile number?

any input would be nice, although i've been working with voip servers and all that, i've never used GV before so I'm not sure if it's voip or just forwarder service.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DennisCSUF:
I believe it just forwards it , it will still used your t-mobile minutes.

For users under the old myFaves 5 plan (discontinue service) who grandfather the service they can actually setup their T-Mobile number as one of their favorite 5 number. Hence none of their minutes get used up since all the calls get forward back to your number which is in your favorite five :D that's what I used to do before I redid my contract and had to drop myFavorite plan :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ykman1:
GV is not a VOIP service, Its just a forwarding or voicemail service. You cant get a GV number and use that to forward to all your phones at once or use it for voicemail or to make cheap worldwide calls by calling that number but it still all goes of your minutes, If calling overseas then you would call your local GV number so you wouldnt be charged those fees by tmob just GV but all voicemail and local calling is free to use cause its just a forwarding number basically...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
thanks for the info.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TezukaK61:
So if I were to call my GV number, then call a T-mobile number, it would still be free since it's T-Mo to T-Mo right? Wouldn't there be a small charge calling the GV number?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolmarkoo:
i don't know why u guys r answering questions when you don't knowanything about to answer the question google voice is voip which means you can call or text anywhere in the us for free as long ad u have an internet conection that doesn't mean that it doesn't use forwarding it actually does forward to any number u set up i suggest you go to their website and watch the tutorial. i have been using GVfor almost 16 months and had no charges extra
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DennisCSUF:
Well that's where you come in Sr. Knowns alot thanks for the info :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
how exactly did you configure yours? do you have myfaves and your GV number is one of the faves? I checked my tmobile logs and it looks like tmobile is calling a google number, then from there the call gets routed.

I also tried turning off my data connection and GV still works. but when I switched to aurplane mode and had my wifi on, GV calls will not go out.

Thus I believe it's not VOIP but just a forwarding service. If i'm mistaken please provide your setup and details. I think your info is inaccurate and the other posts are correct. and no need to bash the others for trying to help when you yourself didn't provide any concrete details as to whether it's voip or not.

After further reading, the other posts are correct and it's not voip. some further reading:

http://www.itworld.com/mobile-amp-w...-isnt-voip-and-other-things-you-learn-readers

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=034620ed4041bd75&hl=en

In short just because you have not incurred additional charges for the past 16 months doesn't mean it's VOIP.
