[Legend Android Development] raketostkostym:
I have read several guides concerning how to take screenshots on your unrootet Android device using the Android SDK and the Dalvik Debug Monitor, guides such as this one:

downloadsquad.com/2008/10/22/taking-screenshots-on-an-android-based-phone/

But it doesn't seem to work on my HTC Legend. When i run DDMS, my device isn't found within the program. Is there simply a compatibility issue with newer Android phones such as the Legend, or is it possible that I am doing something wrong? Has anyone else got it to work?

Perhaps this is a really lame problem for people more experienced with this stuff, but please help a newbie! :p
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
Working perfekt for me.

You have usbdebugging on?
[Legend Android Development] raketostkostym:
Yep, but your device, is it rooted? Perhaps that is the difference then.

Oh, and i read somewhere that you had to have device specific drivers i you use Windows for this, what would that be in this case?
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
Root is of course NOT needed.

But you must have adb drivers installed.

But they should been installed together with the adb-package

Check in your system devices what mode th USB phone is connected/called.

In windows 7x64

my phone is connected as:

Android Phone/

Android Composite ADB Interface

Google, Inc

2009-08-11

2.0.10.2

Drivers:

C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusb.sys

C:\Windows\system32\WdfCoInstaller01007.dll

C:\Windows\system32\WinUSBCoInstaller.dll
[Legend Android Development] raketostkostym:
My system doesn't seem to recognize the device as anything specific at all. It's just an unknown USB-device. Any ideas why this is the case?

Update #1: After a little research it all comes down to that my Legend doesn't seem to install the ADB drivers correctly. Would a hard-reset help here?

Uptade #2: Solved it, added a command line which i found on google to the USB-drivers that came with the SDK, to make it support the HTC Legend. :)

Hey there,

I recently had a htc desire, i loved it. However, i will be living in panama for a while, and it wouldnt be so sweet to only have edge as they run 3g on the 850 band.

reading on this page there seems to be 2 versions of the nexus one. one with quad band and one with tri band..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One

Is there a way to know what is in my phone if i am holding one i am potentially buying?

It seems the developer version on sale now is tri band sadly.. so i cannot buy a new one..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
They're both quad band GSM for voice and data up to Edge. The difference is for 3G data. AT&T and T-Mobile use different 3G frequencies.

Heh, yes i know that.. but to answer my question, is there a way to know which one's in my hand? I dont want edge on the 850 net, i want 3g, su assuming its AT&T version i need..

Pop in your sim card and see if it connects to 3g

Pull the battery and look for the PB # which is located just below the IMEI, S/N, and P/N #’s. You should see one of two PB numbers:

PB99110: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz such as AT&T in the US and Rogers Wireless in Canada

[Hero, G2 Touch General] moonstar_paddy:
Dear Friends,

I have a HTC Hero provided by Airtel carrier in India and i have updated and rooted it but i guess i have a hardware fault on my phone as it has corrupted 3 of my memory cards. I wish to give it for warranty claim and i guess they wouldnt accept the phone with custom OS as there is no official udpate for Airtel India HTC Heros.

I wish to roll back the original ROM and give the phone for claim. Please help people....

Regards,

Paddy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Moved to general as not development.

Regarding your issue, is there a 2.1 ROM available in your area? I'm sure I remember an OTA or something for 2.1 India...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] moonstar_paddy:
No buddy..there is no official update in India.. Even when i check the HTC india site it doesnt give me option of new update. Also i tried HTC worlwide website but it doesnt allow me to download the official update as it says invalid IMEI number. :confused:

Also if i manage to get another hero on airtel, can we extract the ROM from other device??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. Here's an Indian RUU.

RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_India_3.31.720.2_R_Radio_63.18.55.06O_6.35.15.01_release_signed.exe

From http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Her...io_63.18.55.06O_6.35.15.01_release_signed.exe

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this is officially released, so I would wait and see first if anyone knows about that. This won't be airtel, which is a problem maybe.

A nandroid from another phone would do it, but only if you can fastboot boot it to make the nandroid without rooting.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] moonstar_paddy:
I remember my build was 1.73.4xx before updating..so link might not b useful...

the other option u gave, could u pls elaborate more..u can give me a link to any guide or steps if available..appreciate ur help n patience buddy..thanks..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
1. Find very trusting friend with Airtel India ROM installed you want. It needs to be old, as in not updated. a 1.x might work, as fastboot should be unlocked.

2. Use http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/08/how-to-gain-root-access-on-your-htc-hero/ guide. Follow steps 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, but use the latest AmonRA Hero recovery instead of whatever they recommend there.

When it enters recovery, make a nandroid backup using backup and restore menu.

Now copy the files in the nandroid folder from friend's sd card to your PC. Paste folder onto your SD card. Rename the folder HT99************* to your serial number of your device. Then go and restore this nandroid.

You will then need to check if you have a recovery image installed on your phone, that you might need to change. And make sure you've not flashed anything else.

Then restore to factory defaults via the menu, and check everything's back to normal
[Hero, G2 Touch General] moonstar_paddy:
Sorry buddy, i was quite involved and busy so couldnt reply. I've arranged for a HTC Hero on airtel but i'll get the possession sometime next week. Will reply back once i try getting the rom following the link you provided.

I think i have amon recovery installed as i had used gold card method to install the custom OS. How do i remove/uninstall it???

Regards,

Paddy
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Get the stock recovery image from another RUU (I am pretty sure it's worldwide the same), and do

flash_image recovery recovery.img

from adb shell, when you are in /sdcard, after pushing the image to the sd card.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] moonstar_paddy:
Sorry for the stupi question but i dont know how to extract the recovery image from RUU. I have old RUU i guess 1.6 gsm worldwide which i used in goldcard method. Incase you have the image, could you please attach it to the post...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brat.haneq:
Hello

I've been using Villainrom12 for quite some time now, and everything works flawlessly. But I noticed a strange thing, when friendstream is synching (facebook only) Sense freezes for about 15 seconds.

Home button doesn't do anything, I can't swipe from screen to screen, only thing that reacts is the off button for switching off the screen.

After turning the screen, I can unlock the screen, but sense is still unresponsive.

Sometimes I get message, that Sense is not responding, and I can Force kill it or choose to wait.

Perhaps some one was in the same situation and found a fix ?

With regards

[Streak 5 General] elbowz:
Is it just me or does the information about the Streak's 2.1 upgrade seem to contain more negatives than positives?

Things that I see as reduced functionality:

Keyboard losing numeric keypad

Camera Application uses drawer functionality for settings

Reduction in home screen icon pitch - only six icons wide

Dell widgets no longer fit two per home page

Tapping operator name no longer opens home screen overview (may be enabled by home screen pinch like HTC Desire)

Now uses Android media app - does it support the same range of formats?

On one level its great seeing Dell deliver something for the Streak reasonably quickly after launch but on the other I think they've made some poor decisions with the re-design...
[Streak 5 General] PaulKen:
My thoughts exactly. I was looking forward to the update but now i'm not so sure

On the other hand, if streak had shipped with 2.1 we would have known nothing about it and been happy enough

The pros of 2.1 should far outweigh the cons
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yes some are a negative but it has a lot of positives plus that video we have seen may not be the final release things might change that may have been a beta thrown out to testers, and we wont have it on for long i am sure before 2.2 is on board, I am still very excited about it and looking forward to it :)
[Streak 5 General] mrwl:
I don't see that many positives in the 2.1 update either with the change in keyboard designs the biggest step backwards. So I will probably skip that update. Now with Flash and performance improvements in Froyo, that is something completely different.
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
But 2.2 is what they are planing to give us. The positives are massive performance increase, many tweaks and improvements with android. The negatives are just the bum fluff that dell are adding to system, i'd rather they spent their time figuring out how to make the accessories cheaper.
[Streak 5 General] elbowz:
If, as a group, we were to ask Dell to at least leave the existing keyboard in as an option that would be an improvement... failing that someone with better skills than me could extract it from the existing ROM so that we can retain it...

I can't understand Dell's motivation for making some of these changes, I mean how many people have been complaining about having too much space for widgets/icons on the home screen? Also the only reason for changing the camera app would be if they'd implemented touch to focus but if they have Engadget didn't notice...

I think Dell did a much better job of the 1.6 build than most of the media have given them credit for. As a result they've panicked and rushed into putting 2.1 on before the US launch because they were worried about the reception it was going to get.

Of course there's no guarantee that the build that Engadget saw was anything like final, but even so I think I'll wait for feedback from others before I decide whether to adopt or not...
[Streak 5 General] bigsro:
Interesting to see this - I would easily be happy with Stock Android 2.1 - as Im not in agreement with custom interfaces (Sense is nice though) and functionality. It does nothing to streamline the OS and only serves to break up the UX.

The hardware alone should be enough to differentiate these days - it leaves the choices of what to include and how with Dell - which is worrying due to the reportedly small size of the phone dev team. Android has grown enough now where manufacturers could include the stock OS and it would cover all of the user requirements.

I should recieve my Dell Streak today sometime - unlocked - but I am hoping that stock android will eventually appear!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 2twiztid:
I don't know if this is application related or a FW stuff up. I'm currently running 024 X10i and for some reason it stops all sound, anything using sound freezes and requires me to reboot my phone.

It only ever happens during the following:

Turning phone to silent then back again with either radio (3G or Wifi)

Receiving or sending an MMS with Wifi on.

I'm always running an application called 'IRC Radio'. Maybe this is causing the issue?
[G1 General] robuser007:
Is it possible to do this:

* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system OK

* cd sdcard OK?

* flash_image recovery recovery.img doesn't work

* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

using /data/local/busybox telnet 127.0.0.1 ?

(I don't have a homescreen): is it possible to start an apk (flashrec) using adb? or kill the homescreen once with adb?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
the "am" command will allow you to launch a command from the terminal, however it really makes no sense to use flashrec instead of flash_image.... flashrec *USES* flash_image, so if flash_image doesn't work, neither will flashrec.

I suggest that you reboot into FASTBOOT and use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" instead of messing with a broken system.

Has anyone experience with the connection of the galaxy with a bluetooth GPS ? My car's windows are provided with a heat shield made of a metal film, i can only use a bluetooth GPS in my cars GPS windows.

I would use Sygic.

I'm now using a HTC Touch Pro WM6.5 and it works fine with a Bluetooth GPS

I contacted Samsung with my question but the only answer i got was that i had tot contact route 66 ???

The bluetooth GPS is for me the point to buy a galaxy or not<;

Don't buy any android phone, far as I know, bt gps not supported on android. May be some workarounds for specific programs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Its a pity that android does not suport external gps.. I'd like to use that too. (I just got a Galaxy S).

I think the galaxy S has a socket for gps antenna on the back (under the cover).. so you can at least try to plug in one of those 5€ ebay gps 1.5ghz antennas to improve signal. Just put the magnetic box on the roof of your car.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Case_:
As I've replied in the GPS Poll thread, I believe TrekBuddy supports external GPS just fine, so I wouldn't think it's Android limitation rather than a choice of the programmers of most apps - IMO they just don't bother supporting external GPS when there's not a single Android device that doesn't have internal...(I guess).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guibao:
I guess you got a point when you say that all Android devices have a gps chip embedded. But I sill think it's an Android limitation not supporting an external gps.

On Symbian devices, you just have to say 'use bluetooth gps' in your application once you've paired it.

In WinMo the internal gps has a com port, so does the external when you hook it up. Again you tell the gps software which com port it has to use.

This kind of association does not exist inside Android. You can hook up a external GPS, but no program will access it. The OS itself doesn't have access to it.

BTW I looked this up, but I could not find what chip goes inside the SGS. Is it SirfStar III? Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
It is a Broadcom BCM 4751 chip. Designed on a friday afternoon, after a long, well-wined lunch. Or so I heard. But I hear a lot of nonsensical rumours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jllb:
Beowulf_pt did you manage to redirect data from external GPS?

I can read data with "bluetooh GPS" aplication but i did not find any redirect software.

I have a Hollux receiver that say's 10 satelites in use rather then 8 of the galaxy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
You got me wrong. I'm not trying to use the BT GPS with the SGS as that is currently not possible in android. No native stack support nor navigation apps that use the units over the internal GPS. Only that little experimental app that reads NMEA data but has no real use. I hope Android gets this in 3.0 but I doubt it.

What I will try to do with the Samsung is to connect it to an external amplified GPS antenna (1.5 GHz) via the connector on the back of the samsung (net to the SIM card).

I have not recieved the antenna yet so I can't comment... but it should at least provide some better SNR results.

PS: I also have a Holux. It is quite nice, I use it a lot with my Nokia E72 and it works fine unlike the SGS :P

I can understand their decision not to invest time in this as all android devices have an internal GPS... but time has proven that that is a bad idea as many units have really poor GPS. The Galaxy S is probably the worst of them all.

Without the ability to use an externa receiver you're pretty much screwed... no alternatives at all.

If you turn gps location service off from android settings, the lag is gone.
