[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
When I want to write some files to do things automatically I'm having issues with the following:

Because I'm flashing between Darch's 2.2 build and my 2.1 rom, I keep switching between ClockworkMod and RA1.6.2 (I prefer this one, but 2.2 doesn't play nice for some reason) and until I move there permanently I like to switch.

When I try to create a bat file to flash_image recovery I have to be within the adb shell, but once I hit the adb shell part of my bat, it won't go any further.

I'm not THAT familiar with these type of commands...so I thought I'd ask....

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys

I developed a nice Game called PicturePuzzle (it's hardware accelerated!):

You're bored?! Just take a picture with your're device's camera and try to reorder the tiles - in three different skill levels!!!

You're interested?

Please PM me and give me a mail-address (and tell me your device and rom for a compability list) where I should send you the beta.

I prefer some guys without an hd2 'cause I tested it on my own hd2...

Hey, so my Hermes works fine in everything, and I can turn the phone function on and off, but I get no service anywhere. At first I thought it was a problem with the SIM card, but changed my mind because I can still access all my SIM contacts. Members of my family have the same SIM card and network, and get service wherever, but I don't. I have no service in my house, nor downtown, two places I got service as recently as several days ago and as long as I have had the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kajiri:
I must be a complete dope for asking this...

How do you conference call with the TP2? :/

I've looked for the option and looked online and in the manual but I cant find anything. It's marketed as a superb conference calling tool up to 6 ppl (carrier specific) but i cant seem to even find how to get to it.

Telus (with conference calling enabled) is my carrier.

Running EnergyROM

Hope you can help :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
Not all roms have this cooked in. They use a different dialer so you can't choose conference call. Maybe energyrom has a different dialer. Otherwise if you open up the dialer, you can press a conference icon on the right bottom of your screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Energy has it. On the dialer, hit the slider icon on the lower right corner of the screen that switches it from an icon showing one person, to several people.

Please hold back your remarks about screen protectors this was a replacement, only the second day I had it, didnt have a chance to purchase one.
[EVO 4G General] Leukay:
Think you could post a pic of the damage? if it's not too deep, i've heard of people using this product called applesauce that is supposed to give really good results. Maybe try that out and see how it works. Good luck to you, hope you get the scuffs out
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
You could try rubbing compound which is used on watches and things.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
Yeah, just thought of this after I read this post but you can also try the stuff that is used to fill in cracks for car windshields.
[EVO 4G General] rexroof:
light scuffs

I've heard that white toothpaste can be used on light scuffs on plastic.

or perhaps Brasso polish?
[EVO 4G General] myenhdl:
The screen on the evo is made of gorilla glass, not plastic. Therefore acid based compounds such as applesauce or lcd scuff removers on the market would not work. The famous banana slice/peel trick doesn't work here either. Some compounds for watches only clean the surface of the glass and remove dirt from within the scratches, making the scratch less visible.

Your best bet is to clean the glass to remove all dirt then install a screen protector like invisibleshield to mask the scratches. This will work better since a liquid solution (usually 1 part soap and 9 parts water) is applied to the screen so you can squeegee out all the air during installation. The only downside to this is the texture feels like apple skin and screen clarity is affected...maybe 15-20%.
[EVO 4G General] Kooper113:
No, it's not. Just regular glass.
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
Not sure if it's made of Gorilla glass-- not saying that it scratches easily (because it probably doesn't), but I found I had a two very,very slight surface scratches on the screen after babying it for a month (always put it in an empty pocket with no keys/coins/etc, never set it face down, etc).

In any case, I wouldn't try using toothpaste, brasso, or any other solution on the screen except for an eyeglass/electronic screen cleaner as you'll probably end up creating more noticable scratches. Just clean the screen as well as you can, and throw on a screen protector, and you'll probably never notice the scratch-- most very small scratches are only noticable when viewing the screen at a very oblique angle to catch a reflected light source, and the screen protector blocks this.

Also, I wouldn't recommend the ZAGG. I had never used a ZAGG screen protector before, but have heard great things about them, and I'm not particularly picky or sensitive about screen protectors. However, I found the Zagg protector had a horrible rubbery feel to it, and gave the screen a really bad and noticable orange peel effect (actually, the effect seemed more like the screen was behind a 1/4" layer of ice). I put on a cheapo $1.99 screen protector from Gizmo Dorks (on Amazon.com), and the difference was like night and day-- the screen was just as smooth and clear as the original glass.
[EVO 4G General] mhoepfin:
I have a few too... Leave it be and after a couple weeks you'll forget you even have them.
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
Can we buy the glass yet for this phone? I replace iPhone 3G and 3GS glass on an almost daily basis at work.
[EVO 4G General] myn:
You don't have insurance on it???
[EVO 4G General] sohr:
He might... but I'm not sure a $100 deductible + limited further coverage is worth a few small scuffs. I guess it depends on how bad they are, but if they are anything like mine it totally would not be worth it.
[EVO 4G General] stolirocks:
You should be more carefull with your EVO.
[EVO 4G General] n64kps:
No, it is Gorilla glass.
[EVO 4G General] sprink0281:
Since the debate is going back n forth about the glass.....what is the difference between the two? Sure i could search but since there's a debate I think it should be explained this thread...
[EVO 4G General] Sliverme:
I looked all over and can't find anything confirming it's Gorilla Glass so I assume it's not. Plus I wouldn't find so many people with easily cracked screens if it was...

Doesn't SetCPU overclocks our device? I heard constantly overclocking your device will kill it less in a year. Is this true?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] random_username_:
I used setcpu on my g1 (overclocked from 384mhz to 528mhz) for almost the whole time i had it and it didnt do any damage. The overclocking on snapdragons is more of a wait and see as no one has overclocked a snapdragon for that long but its HIGHLY unlikely that it will kill your cpu that quickly (ive been overclocking devices for years and never seen it happen). Leo users dont need to worry about overclocking with setcpu as it hasn't been enabled in the kernel we are using so the only thing setcpu is good for is underclocking and setting profiles.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HeavyComponent:
So once it is enabled in our Kernel that's when we should be worried? What's the worse that can happen?

I dont think we should, people on the n1 have been doing it for months and i havent seen any posts of things going wrong and even if it is enabled in the kernel you can choose weather to use it or not via apps like set cpu

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] random_username_:
if you choose to use it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
I know I use it to underclock. I was just saying. I actually use it as a means of making the battery last. and also the reaction time at which the cpu scales.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dbiggss:
So if I understand this correctly, setcpu does nothing to improve performance as far as Device speed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
A faster cpu is generally a speed increase and at certain points the gains are null. so its usually a small mhz boost.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] random_username_:
it does, keeping the device at 1ghz (998mhz in our case) at all times will provide better performance than scaling from 245mhz to 1ghz. read here for more info http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/

hi just wanted to know if i can update to the ota 2.2 from without running to problems?? don't care if im gonna lose root access.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i beleive fresh blocks the OTA so you may have to manually update. if it lets yuo download the ota through the settigns then you should not have any problems.

As a note fresh and many others already have 2.2 roms using the new ota out. if rooted you may want to grab one of those since currently thre is NO WAY to reroot your phone on 2.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevillarroel:
Correct,do not upgrade manually, just flash a 1.47 based rom and then the newest Fresh 3.0.1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1co35:
i see thanks. manually updating as in going to the htc website??

or your talking about downloading one of the rooted 2.2 stock?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevillarroel:
NO NOT GO TO THE HTC WEBSITE, just flash any 2.2 based rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
either would be ways of manually updating it. I just ment that you cant get the OTA automatically. So you would want to download either the HTC update (killing root chances) or root and download a rooted stock and flash it giving you the best of both worlds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1co35:
ok cool, rooted stock it is.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.activate:
Hi,

My brother is planning to travel across Europe and wanted to take my Nexus One along with him and there fore I had few questions

1) Can he use Nexus One GPS without a SIM Card in Europe ?

2) Does Nexus One GPS use 3G data ?

3) Do European countries offer "To Go" 3G SIM cards ?

Any alternate recommendations are welcome.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdZKu7:
I suspect that there is a bug that makes GPS use data when roaming even if the phone is set to not allow data when roaming. If A-GPS is turned off this should no longer be of much worry, but do pay attention to it. The reason for me suspecting this is because of a bill I got after being to Norway where small frequent packets of data was added to my bill, even though nothing else worked: no widget updates, no surfing worked, and no google maps worked (as intended and expected).

Several countries offer pay as you go SIM-cards, and I would be surprised if any of them did not include 3G. I just visited the UK and got a free SIM which I topped up with a £5 for one month "unlimited" data-plan (they have a weird concept of unlimited on the other side of the pond).

Most countries should have a decent data-plan in the £10-range, or a ceiling on data cost per day (seems that £1/day is the norm in several countries).

Do note that you might have issues in some countries obtaining a SIM-card due to registration-requirements, e.g. requiring either proof of ID or at least a residential address. YMMV. If your brother is a people-person have him ally with some of the locals to get a pay as you go-SIM through them ;)

I have Myn`s warm donut currently running. I have tried 5 different radios currently using 1.171.09.1 and hard spl 3.56 , I cannot get wifi or camera to work at all, I have also tried various wifi fixes , but still nothing any one help please..... Also have had no luck with htc sync on windows 7 64bit differnet versions and vista drivers cannot get windows to install drivers or recongnise my kasier at all.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Ok, to start at the end, forget HTC Sync, it's not much use even on a native android phone, the only use for USB on android is for adb, seriously, native or non-native, all your data is synced through your google account anyway.

For wifi and camera we'll need a little more information, you say Myn's warm donut, is that running from SD or flashed to nand? If it's SD,(Haret), then the wifi problem may be a WM issue, not used haret in so long though, so I forget exactly what the issues were using Haret.

Not heard that radio version makes any difference for wifi, but you can try the radio from my sig, works better for me and a lot of others.

As for camera, that could be due to using a froyo nbh on a donut build, although I thought that had been fixed, but perhaps not.

More information will help narrow down the problem though :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ev1lyoda:
wi=fi

I believe I did it through nand as everything on the phone was erased, it is purely android now...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:

Long shot here but can you try flashing back a winmo 6.5 rom and try turning the wifi on there and then boot into android using haret
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daveob:
Surely it makes little difference on a processor with dynamic clk freq scaling?

Assuming its always clocking at its slowest during idle, which your phone is by default, then reducing the max clock speed during activity just extends the time its chugging away at max speed.

Only way to improve battery life is to reduce the amount of work you ask of your phone, not the speed at which it gets on with it.

For example, if my Desire has to process an image, it can either do that in 1ms at 1GHz, or 2ms at 500MHz, using the same amount of battery, no? At all other times its idling at the same 250MHz.

So the way forward is to reduce tasks, not underclock? And if anything the profile conditions in SetCpu are just one more thread.

Anyone actually noticed better battery performance from SetCpu?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xtcislove:
I noticed bader Battery Life! So i dont use it anymore!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blackgear:
I don't think it will give you more battery life to reduce the cpu speed. more important i think is to watch the tasks that run on the background. some apps can drain you battery really fast. i just use advanced task killer and set it to kill apps when i turn my screen off, for me it helps more then lower the cpu speed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eyegor:
Those apps drain battery by not letting the cpu idle, hence lowering max speed could improve battery life.

We use the signed Update file for Droid to update our Milestone's kernel first, then proceed to modify other OS add-on to make this work?

Is this file

[Vibrant General] shan564:
Hello everybody

I received an unlock code from T-mobile for my Vibrant, but it gives me an "unlock unsuccessful" message. I called T-mobile, and they essentially told me "it should work, sorry." I was wondering if the problem might have something to do with the fact that my phone is rooted...

And if that is an issue, can I use the nandroid method to unroot it? Odin doesn't seem to work for me; it always stops at "file analysis." I've heard that other people using Windows x64 have the same issue.
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
Look at the IMEI in the e-mail they sent you. Make sure they copied right. It will be on the top left 3rd line down.
[Vibrant General] shan564:
Yeah, the IMEI is right. Also, I've heard that it's possible for these phones to be hardlocked... is there a chance that the seller accidentally hardlocked it before sending it to me?
[Vibrant General] jonathan75:
I don't think so. T-Mobile would be the one doing the hard-locking.
[Vibrant General] shan564:
Is there any other way for me to unlock the phone?

I recent;y had another phone unlocked from them.
[Vibrant General] shan564:
I didn't buy it from tmo, but I don't see why that would make a difference... they still gave me the unlock code based on the IMEI I gave them. They say they can't give me another unlock code, and I'm currently 7000 miles from the nearest T-mobile store (that was their "solution" - go to the store). Any idea whether it'd be worth it to try sinking $30 into one of the eBay unlockers?
[Vibrant General] magatron76:

[Vibrant General] magatron76:
I have the same problem with my vibrant. i purchased an unlock code from ebay with 100% success rate but when I entered the code it says "Network Lock Request Unsuccessful". Apparently the only way around this is to remove the Network Lock all together. Removing the network lock is done through unlocking software but unfortunately there is no software compatible with the Vibrant as of yet. Getting another code will not work either as your IMEI will give you the same code again. i just purchased an I-Smart SIM card, hopefully this will work. I will keep you posted
[Vibrant General] toeshot:
Don't buy from ebay EVER!!

Unlock codes are free from TMO

The sent me my unlock code 3 days after I bought it. It didn't work at first. I called TMO apparently my IMEI was truncated. they sent new unlock code and it worked perfectly.

Remember if you put your unlock code in to many times unsuccessfully, there is nothing TMO can do to get it unlock. It has to go back to Samsung
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
The reason I asked if you purchased the phone from someone else but TMO you might want to contact the seller and see if they can help you out.
[Vibrant General] GuardianFlash:
they must have given you the wrong unlock code. Also, if you entered wrong unlock code 3 times, your phone will freeze and you would have to buy a unfreeze code online.
[Vibrant General] alynch75:
No wait unlock code

I go mine unlocked on ebay. It coast me $29 but well worth it. Took the seller 3 days to get the code and it worked.

Also T-MOBILE does not hard lock these. they can become hard locked if you enter the unlock code unsuccessfully 3 to 5 times. If you got that message once... i would not try again with that code. I would just get it from Ebay... T-mobile does not have a good track record with unlock codes for the Vibrant or the Garminfone
