[EVO 4G Android Development] jedil1c1ous:
I can confirm these scripts are working for me as well. Streaming radio stations without stagefright player enabled caused the same problems so these scripts allow me to get around this relatively easily. BTW, to the above user, these scripts are adb shell commands and will not modify the build.prop.

Question: Is there a way to open an app with a shell command? I would like to set the property to the appropriate value and proceed to open the streaming app afterward. So I would have a slacker script that would disable stagefright and start slacker, etc. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Maybe tasker can do this? I'm not sure though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kmartburrito:
Another plug for tasker, it is able to run ASE (Android Scripting Environment 2.0+) scripts, so maybe we could make it work there.

Running shell commands in an app is more difficult than it sounds. I tried to do it a while back with a test app I was writing, and it doesn't really translate too well with the Android API. I'm sure there is a fairly good way to do it by leveraging an outside java api, but I didn't have a ton of luck.

Here's a link to the ASE (now known as SL4) google code page:

http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/
[EVO 4G Android Development] kmartburrito:
It looks like this is on his todo list for Tasker. From his website:

rooted phone: become root/user, Run Shell Script (bash, no ASE needed), Reboot, toggle background data,key events and injection
[EVO 4G Android Development] neilkarunatilaka:
Thanks for this. Before, I either just pulled the build.prop file and edited it there, making it permanant, but then everytime I flashed a CM6 Nightly it would go away :( And then I would always manually type it in on Terminal Emulator, which would be a pain, because after restart, I would have to redo it!

Now, thanks to this, I can disable/enable very quickly, and should be able to keep these scripts when I flash the CM6 Nightlies :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Glad I could bring this to everyone's attention.

Would it be possible for someone to package the bluetooth stack from CM6 to an update.zip file so that anyone can take advantage of HID support regardless of what ROM they're using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
AFAIK the problem isnt the stack, it should be the same across the board. The problem is Sense and some conflict of libraries of sorts. either way if you remove sense from your rom you should in theory be able to take advantage of hid support.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Real answer: No.

The bluetooth stack is put in the kernel, and is implemented by binaries in Sense. You'd have to recompile the kernel, and also replace the Sense Bluetooth files.

Hi guys sorry if this has been mentioned before but i think i've read every post regarding the HTC desire running 2.2.

Im a noob to this android o/s but i managed to install the stock 2.2 update on my lock T-Mobile unrooted Desire.

Anyone want to know how?
[Desire General] imtiajmeah:
yes please...
[Desire General] spangelsaregreat:
Go on then, spread the word!
[Desire General] clartie:
ok firstly my mistake, i have a locked t-mobile Htc Desire, then root it, then install a custom rom then install stock RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed

then run software udate and you have a stock 2.2 rom result.

My dad is providing me with $500 for my birthday.

Everything else aside (lol), should I spend this money on an Evo 4G, despite all the problems it has, or should I wait till the Tegra 1Ghz Dual-core phones come out by the end of this year?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnstarz:
if you're willing to wait, then it makes no sense to purchase an evo right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LearnIIBurn:
You should spend your 500$ on high pressure sodium lights, seeds, and white paint. Then buy an Evo when you have $5000.

Yeah, the dual cores aren't far off but if your dad tosses $500 at you every few months then go ahead and get an EVO, if you keep it in good shape you'll get $150 - $200 for it in Dec.

If $500 from your dad is not a common occurrence then hold off, although, will you still have phone money by the time they come out?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpearce:
Get the evo. This time next year you will be able to upgrade your phone if up wish. Wait till the end of the year and it will be a year and a half before upgrade is possible. Two if on a server besides sprint. The evo is a great phone. The Tegra sounds good on paper but in real life, who knows.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrcgarage:
With the custom ROM that fixes the 30fps cap, does the EVO scroll as smooth as the iPhone (not an apple person at all, but iPhone has the smoothest UI)?

I just played with an EVO with Froyo at Sprint and it lags in terms of scrolling. It is driving me crazy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
I don't really like physical keyboards either, but you can always use the on screen keyboard, plus, being a gamer (as you mentioned) I heard that the epic is suppose to have MUCH better graphical performance than the Evo, and then with the physical keyboard it might make playing games a lot easier, having actual keys, like for flash or something.

Idk, I haven't looked much into it

for the post above mine, yeah it fixes the scrolling, and it's not AS smooth, but it's pretty smooth. It annoyed me at first, the 30 fps, but with the fix it's a lot better, and I like it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just_s:
I'm still trying to identify what "all the problems" refers to. The EVO is the best phone I've ever owned. That said, if you already have a sense that the EVO is not your ideal rig, you will likely pine for the dual corelater so I'd say hold out. It was like that for me and the Droid. I ended up being extremely happy having waited for the EVO even though there are those who swear by their Droids. Bear in mind of course that by the time thoise phones are launched, there will already be something builder and better waiting to take their place. It can be a vicious cycle if you let it. Either way, you can't go wrong with Android IMO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oRAirwolf:

Just get an EVO. You will be able to upgrade in 1 year with Sprint, so you might as well get what you want now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmomoman:
Sure you weren't crazy before you went in to test it? Lag? I have the iPhone 4 , Droid x and Evolution 4G. I can assure you there is not any lag that is so bad that it would drive somebody crazy. Smoothness leans in apples court and display but not by much. Apps are much faster on the Droid and Evo. Internet browsing is also faster on Evo.

Detune from the media and then re-evaluate.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
No phone is perfect. Not the Droid X, Epic, iPhone, Incredible, etc. They all have their issues and so will future phones. The development resources for Android phones owns that for the iPhone making issues easier to fix. Go to the store, play with all of them and pick the one you like best. We don't have to live with the phone, you do. No matter which one you pick, I'm sure you'll find a phone that has some advantage over the one you chose. The mods and support available here make the EVO hard to beat.

to follow this up, i was experiancing similar problems

like an idiot i ejected the SD card with the power on (bad idea) and had to format it

the card worked fine under my rom (miui) but when i booted into clockwork mod v4.something

i unmounted the SD card in the phone options and formatted it, after re mounting it the phone gave me a notification that the SD card was an unsupported format

so what i did was click that notification and format the card again

i booted into recovery and it worked, i hope this helps someone in the future

Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk error

I received a replacement Dinc from Verizon under the extended warranty. My problem is that the new phone won't backup or restore under CWM. I get a notice that "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkp1p (or mmcblk)

My old phone was rooted with the 2.3.4 version 4.06 GB stock rooted ROM. I made a nandroid backup with CWM recovery 5.0.0.6. So far all is good. The replacement phone with amoled screen came with GB 2.3.4. (unrooted and s-on.) Following the directions in Droid Forums I downgraded to 2.2, rooted using unrevoked3, turned s-off with unrevoked forever and reinstalled 2.3.4 version 4.06. All files found from links of XDA. (THANKS to all for the great instructions and files.)

But now on the new phone the nandroid backup and recovery from CWM won't work as I get the above error. II read that the sd card needs to be reformatted but when I put it back in the old phone, CWM works well without the error. Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I would first try to format your sdcard fat32, but dont put any of the old files back on yet. Then with the blank sdcard inserted try to run a backup and see if it works. If not try reflashing cwm thru hboot. Also make sure you have superuser and busybox installed. mmcbkk0p1 is the data partition, see if you can manually mount it thru recovery in the mounts and storage menu.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Its mmcblk1p1 he said. That isn't the data partition . I think it is sdcard. I think an sdcard format will do the trick.

I'm gonna say it I love the look of WP7, but the rest of the OS is, quite frankly, ****.

Anyone else who likes "typography and squares"? Would someone like to create a minimalistic theme that removes useless 3D "effects", round edges, shadows and false chrome?

Maybe even create tile-like calendar, people and music widgets? Or square skins for Pure calendar and messaging widgets?

Or what about a Sweeter Home theme?

- Pure weather, calendar and messaging skinned

- MusicMod skinned

- Minimalistic top bar

- BetterCut Icons

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
According to a source of mine, new stocks for SGS i9000 8GB/16GB are in low supply because Samsung has acknowledge the GPS problem and lag issues people have been complaining about.

ETA for new stocks are between Aug/Sep; which will most likely have a new firmware fix for those issues, which coincidentally it's about the same time they have planned to release Froyo too :)

Currently Samsung is only delivering to major cellphone carriers, independent cell phone vendors are on back order because of those issues.

Well there you go people, at least it's good to know that Samsung has actually admitted to the problems, and are fixing it before new stocks are released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
I really hope the issue is not with the hardware in the current units! :mad:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] azreil24:
It would be nicer if they would say that it is a hardware problem, to exchange our phones with the new ones that don`t have any problems :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if what you guys are saying is true, then i don't think Samsung will be selling the phones to AT&T, Bell, T-mobile, Orange and all those big guys carriers.

the only logical reason they continue to deliver it out to the big buys, and not the small ones, is because they know the big cell providers can deliver new firmwares OTA, but small vendors do not have such services, to prevent having a mix of good vs bad phones out in the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
Would be worth contacting a vendor like clove to see if this is true or not. I am sceptical, heard too many rumors and never anything directly from samsung about these gps issues etc :).

I hope it is just a firmware issue and they aren't making changes to the hardware.. Someone will have to do a teardown and closely examine the chips but then.. how do you know if you have a "new" one or not..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
But that's only if they publicly admit that there's a hardware flaw :(

so if it does turn out to be a hardware issue, then they cant not swap the phone over, that would be like comiting commercal suicide, as how many people in all honesty would want to keep there phone knowing full well ther is an issue that affects it and the main company refuse to do anything about it to existing owners, i for one would send it back to them in pieces in a box with i nice note telling them to go f*** themselves.

i actually did this to nokia once with a 8110 i was having issuse with (nokia had a offices in swindon at the time), and got a new one sent back, ok so it was the jap version they sent me but hell it was way better with its blue leds instead of green.

There was a guy who represented himself as an employee working for

the company that makes system mainboard for Galaxy S, and he claimed

that there was a request from Samsung Electronics to make some change

in their product. I'm not sure if this guy is telling the true story or not, but

it might explain the shortage of new products....?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beowulf_pt:
From a logistical point of view this makes no sense at all if the issue can be fixed by firmware/sw. If it can, delaying it would be useful but would probably be negative considering the lost sales due to no stock at stores.

Nah. Either this is FUD or - if true - means that the problem lies in the hardware implementation and a new board revision will start shipping soon. That is the only way that delaying production would make sense.

I can see the silver lining in this tho... with all the mess about the GPS and lag I have not bought my SGS so I still have the money. Ah. Take that Korea!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
All without acknowledging whether the source is credible or not. It's possibly a mobile phone salesperson (I've seen salespeople say all sorts of dumb things because they were running out of stock). In fact, when I purchased my digital camera, I was told by the store they were the last store left with any, so wouldn't match prices with other stores. Well, I thought they were jokes, so walked 500 meters to another store and they did. And then the store near them did as well.

Unfortunately, we can only take this with a grain of salt..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dragunov:
Well, i dont want to disappoint you guys, but since there are people out there saying that their GPS is working fine on their devices, myself included, I think that your problem is hardware-wise.

I have "flashed" my SGS GT-i9000 3 times with:

i9000XXJF3

i9000XWJM2

i9000XWJG5

and my GPS (using NAVIGON) was working flawlessly, getting a stable fix after max 2 minutes, while ALL data connections are disabled (wifi, network data, etc).

I even compared it with my brother's HTC Legend. Both phones got stable fix almost at the same time right after a cold start. Test was done using "GPS status" on both phones.

I am guessing that 99.9% it is a hardware problem. I hope (for your own good) not to be the case.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
You should be hoping it isn't also as many people had the gps working fine then weeks later it went sour but anyway isnt that what warranties are for and consumer laws?
