hey guys im trying to get the update so i can post it here but im not having any luck in doing so ..... im going to try and use the stock room for the unroot to try and go back to the " B4 the update " state with my phone.

thanks for all the help tho .:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huguito326:
ok guys ... i need help .. i just got another slide, so what ill do is keep the one with the update to try and rip it and keep the other rooted , if anyone did the update try the " unroot " process to try and get the phone back to b4 the update let me know on the results ! thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
I got the text message with this link Tried it on my computer got page not found but my phone took me to a differemt addy I think its just telling me about the update

that is a link to this forum. the msg was simply alerting you of the update. you will have to wait for another notification to prompt you for the update itself.

I'm in the middle of downloading it now (been downloading for 30 mins now annoying being forced to edge hile at home cause 3g in the apt sucks) soon as I can I hope here soon I'll pull it from the sdcard and put it someplace for a rom dev. And yeah Do not install the OTA guys if you are rooted that's just common sense.

Edit.

Ok It's downloaded...but erm....I honestly can't find it O.o

Edit 2

update pulled in the hand of a dev already. Give it some time we will have the update soon :)

many thanks to chiefz.reloaded for the help on pulling the update as well and he's already looking at it :)

why only give to one dev share it with the rest so we all can work it ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesgarner:
Just an FYI, I looked over the update - it has the radio update and then a few tiny updates

No new recovery image but still not 100% if this prevents root or not, but it shouldn't
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulletcutter:
So new radio means better service?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0man:
= my face when people ask that question.

It COULD mean better battery life, better signal reception, improved call quality, etc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulletcutter:

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mylenthes:
I recently did the update, is there no hope for root in a while or can I downgrade my device reroot and install cheifz rom???
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
eventually you'll be able to but at this time, nope
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mylenthes:
Crap, I wish I waited. I miss all my roms.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armyjon88:
Ok so I was messing around with adb and from what I understand the problem lies in the fact that with the new ota update adb is unable to retrieve the devices state in recovery it only can read it offline.

I used: adb get-state

While in android recovery and it returned: unknown

The solution would be to figure out why it cannot read its state.

I dunno if anyone has seen that yet or not just thought i'd post it just in case. I don't know too much about all this but I'm going back to school for software engineering so I'm sure in a few years ill be more useful.

Peace.

why dont we just call htc tech support and see what the fix is? lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frank2009:
Agree'd
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
Because HTC doesn't want you to? I can only assume the reason for updating the recovery was to prevent the very thing you are trying to do.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
even though rooting was declared legal in a recent law passed... which makes htc pretty gay to be perfectly honest
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
Gay?

But seriously, I don't see why HTC is so against rooting. They don't lose money because of it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofyo1:
you know what i mean ... they suck because of their lack of timely kernel releases
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mylenthes:
Omg I NEED root. I can't stand not having a whole bunch of roms and root only apps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixtninecat:
I'm in the same boat folks. My wife accepted the OTA on her slide. She had the forethought to make a TI backup first. Then she accepted the OTA and did a factory reset. Now she can't restore her TI backup because she lost root and TI wont work without it. I'll keep my ear to the ground for a new root method. good luck to those that know better than I. Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
You're not the only one. My wife has an unrooted Slide and she just accepted the update without asking me (surprising since she's usually scared to break it). Now I can't root it. I don't care all that much since I have my Nexus but I'd like to get apps2sd going on that. In truth, it's not the end of the world. She doesn't care much for apps and wouldn't use them if I didn't install them for her. I just can't stand the idea of having an unrooted Android device in my house. The internal storage on the Slide is abysmal, especially considering it's 2010. It is nearly as bad as the G1 because of the clutter from Espresso and T-Mobile (there might actually be less room for apps than the G1). Froyo apps2sd would be enough for my wife since she is not an app person but I would have thrown that thing out the window after an hour if I had to use it. I can't understand why a simple root hasn't been made available for the Slide. The first process never worked right for me (I think I literally tried 100 different "methods"). A 1-click root thingy for is needed for the Slide. Anyway, back to the beast that is the N1.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zachenry:
Yeah so I did it too, I got the slide and was so excited that I OTA updated without thinking. and now no root goodness for me, at least yet. Are other methods being pursued? Here is to hoping.
[HTC Aria Accessories] tomlogan1:
I purchased a couple of Mini USB to Micro USB adapters from Amazon. These are for Blackberry, and allow you to use your old WM sync cables and power adapters with the newer micro USB phones. I can confirm that they provide power and USB connectivity, so all those old chargers and cables can be put to good use.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Gorilla800lbs:
Also a quick note: I am using Blackberry charger on my Aria, and it works fine.
[HTC Aria Accessories] b_atman:
beware i bought some off ebay that only charge

but 3 of them for 2.98 shipped not bad
[HTC Aria Accessories] struff:
Ditto.

FWIW the seller mine came from was Eforcity
[HTC Aria Accessories] Thundervore:
Its best to get a charger thats similar spec. I have a Palm charger that 1amp 5 volts and it charges the phone just fine to full power in about an hour, however i have another charger from am a windows mobile phone thats 850 miliamps and 5 volts and although it charges the phone it charges slower more like over an hour.
[Captivate General] mykenyc:
Okay so i been playing with the captivate for a little bit and i remember my nexus days we was able to flash different radio files. I was wondering is there anyway to flash the I9000 radio file because when i flash the rom unto my captivate i swear my signal is better, not only that internet seems faster and my bars don't go up down all crazy. For me stock radio and firmware my signal jumps up and down crazy in my apartment but when i flash to I9000 radio it's perfect.
[Captivate General] clubtech:
The problem is that the i9000 radio disables the 850Mhz 3g support of the captivate. Otherwise it would have been perfect.
[Captivate General] mykenyc:
Thanks for the response, yea i forgot to edit this post seeing what i read. I can't wait til we get a new radio file this one is horrible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] piccolo75:
I flashed the Evil Eris Lightening ROM to my Eris a couple of weeks ago and have noticed a few hiccups, but the most notable has been the Wireless Tethering app that comes with the ROM. Even when it is plugged into AC, the battery power continues to drain slowly. This seems to be a flaw in either the hardware or the software, because at the very least the phone should continue to hold a constant level of charge, not drain. In fact, since the phone is plugged into the AC charger it should continue to charge the battery. :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Well to start off there isn't a evil eris lightning rom that I know of...there is the evil eris rom or the eris lightning rom...but either way wireless tether sucks alot of juice out of the phone. The charger has never kept up with the battery drain on any rom for me with wireless tether. The phones were not made for wireless tether which i why you need root to run it. I don't believe you are experiencing anything out of the ordinary though as it is the same for me on any rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
seconded. I dont think the charger can keep up with the drain of Wireless tether, but I could be wrong...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Funnyface19:
I've actually had a thing pop up while it was charging that the charging current wasn't sufficient please switch to a/c lol it was plugged into my wall
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Simple, that app draws more power than the charger can supply. You don't dare use this w/o being plugged in, that's for sure !! I do suspect that the amount of "traffic" it moves is a factor though, so you must be using a lot. I use it in the car, plugged in, and my son or wife has their iPod touch use the wireless. Even Pandora streaming hasn't drained my battery or maybe we didn't run it long enough...
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Back when the (stock) Eris was still on 1.5, a few people over on Androidforums pointed out that you could discharge the Eris with very heavy use while it was plugged into a real USB hub (rather than the AC adapter). Typically this would happen when streaming a feed from the mobile network and also manipulating the display (games, web browsing, et cetera)

That was with a stock phone where the WiFi radio and Cellular radio are only incidentally used at the same time.

USB 2.0 devices are limited to 500 mA @ 5V, so that result means that the phone was dissipating something north of 2.5 Watts for this to happen. That observation is entirely believable, as the RF PA (Power Amp) in the Eris can burn 2 Watts by itself in weak signal areas.

OTOH, with wireless tethering, both radios are going full bore when there is traffic present. Presumably the CPU is also chugging away with overhead as well.

It may well be that the programmed charging rate of the battery limits how much current can be jammed into it (to preserve battery life), so that even using the A/C adapter (1.0 A @ 5V) rather than USB doesn't change how fast the battery charges when the battery temps are elevated because of heavy use.

I believe it - sort of doubtful that the phone was thermally designed for that much continuous power dissipation.

I was going to say "there's always the option of running a Linux box with a Wireless AP stack, and then using wired tethering as the Linux box' WAN connection" - but then you are back down to the 2.5W limit.

It might just be that you "can't get there from here" with the Eris - unless the usage is something like reading stuff off the internet - short periods of high traffic interspersed with practically no activity at all.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
That's another factor when tethering... The phone gets HOT ! I let someone tether their laptop off of my phone for 2-3 hours (casual internet use) and the phone got up to 47' C. Never went higher though.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
Does anyone know why wired tether doesn't seem to work with any ROM? I used it on my wife's myTouch 3g and it seems to be able to keep up with charging her phone when plugged into the laptop.

Is pdaNet the best way to do this or is the wired tether app better? I haven't been able to try pdaNet yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Reaganomics:
The wired tether worked for a bit with CyanogenTazzv3.

Speeds were as good with the wifi tether, but it seemed less stable.

Phone would randomly reboot while using it some times.

As for the battery drain with the wifi tether...

I noticed after configuring the setcpu screen off profile (245/245), as long as i left the screen off while tethering and using the wall charger, it was able to keep up with the power drain and actually charge the phone.

This was also on CyanogenTazzv3/4 however..
[Droid Eris Android Development] jonscapri:
The battery drain isn't unique to the Eris using wifi tether. It's the app and all the traffic going through the phone.

I've tested this on my Eris, and friend's incredible, evo, my touch and, G1.

Its just a power hungry app.

This is just the first post I came across that gave directions. You WILL have to get ADB installed though, which means using modified usb drivers or editing them yourself (it's not as hard as it seems, you pretty much have to paste two lines into a text-based file).

Also a lot (if not all) of this information is available on the XDA Wiki. It's a valuable resource that I recommend all people check first before posting a question (the link for the Wiki it up top there on the page).

[XPERIA X10 General] beanoguy:
Hello,

I've had my X10a for about 2 weeks now and noticed very poor picture quality while taking pictures. My old iPhone 3G takes much better pictures in comparison.

I've read forum posts and have googled for possible solutions, such as different settings (scene recognition and others) which have not helped.

All pictures I take look grainy and pixelated in well lit conditions and worse in not so bright environments. I can notice this while previewing the pictures on the phone however it's exponentially worse when I transfer them to my computer to see.

- Any ideas how to address this issue?

- Firmware issue?

- Faulty camera?

Model = x10a (rooted)

Firmware = 1.6

Kernel = 2.6.29 rel

Build Number = R2BA023

Thanks,

B.

I'm having a similar problem as well,
