[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
he is not talking about current but about power! i guess you know the difference?! P=U*I :D they used to beat that into my head :P

the issue could be that if you have other usb devices connected that the controller is not able to supply enough energy for all devices. if you don't have a active-powered usb-hub you should at least try to unplug all other usb devices and then connect your sgs....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Benjamin Dobell:
I'm well aware that power is the product of voltage and current. However, USB ports only provide one voltage regardless of the situation or what device they're plugged into, they provide 5 V +/- 5%. As such the power provided by a USB port is defined entirely by the current that the device requests.

So the the device requests power "25", which corresponds to 50 mA, or ~250 mW.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jodue:
lol, yeah but that was not my point! what i meant is that: MAYBE the usb controller can not supply enough energy for all devices attached to the several usb-ports it controlls. even if it should be able to give the 100mA*5.5V=550mW to all ports, a lot of controlles can't do that. i have had similar problems myself before. that's why i said: try do disconnect all other devices. most likely it won't help but after reading this thread i think you are desperate for ideas, or am i mistaken?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Benjamin Dobell:
Yeah that is a solid point. I was just explaining why I referred to current as power. But yeah it's definitely possible that laptops may not power USB devices at all times. For instance, recent Macbooks will only provide power to one USB device requesting it whilst the Macbook is running off battery power.

However we really don't know what the source of the problem is/was at the moment. For instance I had a similar problem on my desktop PC, however the two problems may be totally unrelated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
I've been running Cyanogen 5.0.8-DS and it's great except for one problem. I've got this game called RoboDefense that I bought when I first got my phone. I absolutely love the game and play it a good bit as a do a good bit of travelling. Ever since I flashed Cyanogen the game hasn't worked properly. When I start the game up, the character's at the top showing your life, money, etc. go haywire. It'll only show random symbols vice the proper number and letters. I haven't really played it much because of that problem until today. I tried playing for a bit, but after a few minutes of play, the game closes and I get sent back to the home-screen. I don't get a FC or anything, it just closes out. I've re-flashed the ROM a few times since the first, trying out CM 6 RC2 nightlies, and the problem has persisted. I've also tried deleting the local game files that are stored on the SD Card that keep up with your points, bought upgrades, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running the rooted version of the HTC's official 2.2 OTA update.

Everything works well. I was really looking forward to the new 3D gallery in Froyo but I have the same old gallery. Though the app has been renamed from Pictures to Gallery, it still looks and functions the same.

Am I missing something or is it there somewhere? I hope someone knows the answer.

Thanks
[Desire General] mpsamuels:
Mods, Am I allowed to post a link or is that considered warez?

Not too sure what is and isn't considered questionable as far as the software that comes bundled with some default ROMS goes.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
the 3d gallery is from the nexus one only, nothing to do with htc, you can download a mooded one from the market search for 3d gallery :)

its not wares unless its an aplication that you have to pay for :) so for example if a rom came with a free version of copilot, and u shared it that would be warez but apps that are made by the phone developers arnt
[Desire General] mpsamuels:
Didn't want to go getting myself into trouble :p but if you think it's acceptable then i've uploaded the gallery here for anyone who wants it:

do that version also force close then i press the camera button in 3dgallery???
[Desire General] humayunl:
Thanks, thats the app I was referring to.

And yes, it does force close when I click the camera button. Is there a fix for that?

Are there other goodies in the N1 ROM that we are missing on the HTC's 2.2 on the desire.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mystenes:
Dear Users.

On monday i have upgraded my phone to Android 2.2.

After update, my phone is unable to connect to secure WiFi routers (even my own, where i got update!).

I have linksys WRT300N.

Is there anyone who knows something about that problem in HTC software?

TechSupport told me that i should twice clear settings to factory settings (without SD card in phone). I did that few times, nothing.

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] arcadepdx:
Hi all,

I am new to rooting phones. There are so many posts about different firmwares, I am very confused. I just received my Galaxy S Vibrant phone from T-mobile, and the only thing I need does not come with the phone is Wifi Tethering. My understanding is that I need to root the phone to get wifi tethering to work. Could you point me to which rooting method I should use? What version of firmware? And do I need to install other apps to make the tethering to work?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KOYHOY:
Please use google.

"galaxy s vibrant root" should suffice. The first link should probably be the right one...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verplrke:
I have a problem with the Auto-rotate of NaviPanel.

When I start Navigon's Mobile Navigator 7.4 the Auto-rotate function kicks in, rotates the screen another 90 degrees. Thus Navigon displays 800x480 px which the HD2 shows as 480x800 and I end up missing the bottom of my Navigon-screen and the right side showing the home screen like shown in image 1, This corrects itsself after a few seconds to image 2.

How do I solve this?

/ The Navigon orientation is set to '90° to the left' which works perfect when NaviPanel isn't functional.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phenomenon:
In my opinion its just a compatibility problem. I have experienced this issue with some other programs too, but with no answer or solution from anyone here or even the developers themselves. I'd just think your best bet would be to just find another navigation program.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adis1987:
I did have the same problem. I have solved the problem. First of all, in the settings in the navigator, set how you like to screen to be. Then download BSB-tweaks. Open it. Go to Menu->Rotation. Select Option->Add application. Follow instruction given by the BsB: Select the navigator. It will then start. Shake the phone when navigon have loaded completly. You vill now se the navigon in the list. Select it. Save and you will have to do a soft reset. Test it... Working like a charm ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sea_bass:
i got a tilt 2 recently and i love it. i have it running android 2.2 and its also running the newest version of the energy rom available. but heres the thing, i traded my iphone for it. i have had the iphone for about 3 years and have had all models except the 4, i dont really want it now that ive experienced android. when i traded it, the screen was a little scratched up. its not that bothersome, but it would be nice to know if i could replace it. ITS THE PLASTIC THATS SCRATCHED, NOT THE LCD GLASS SCREEN. i need to know how to replace only the plastic and not the glass, because the plastic without the LCD screen on it is about $50 cheaper.

ANY HELP?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tada1228:
Check if there is a screen protector applied on the phone. My friends Touch Pro 2 came with a screen protector that was already applied when he got it. It may look like its not there because there are no air bubbles. If you look closely you'll probably find it. My HTC Pure also came with a screen protector on it, but took me a while to realize it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sea_bass:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
Eagerly awaiting this one as well!

OP, are you going to be using an on screen d-pad input for this or implement a type of on screen analog stick (not unlike the iPhones Doom Resurrection)?

Because they seem much more free-flowing, so to speak. Especially in FPS games.

Or even better- a dual-analog input like most consoles FPS games (left analog for movement and direction & right analog for freelook?) could that be possible? I think that would definitely make the playing experience much more enjoyable.

Anyways, good luck!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
As of right now it's a mix between a D-pad and analog stick sortof. But I may go for a complete analog feel.. That's a good idea.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
Also, BRILLIANT idea with the flipped landscape so you can use the volume rocker for input ;D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
Yes it is truly amazing ease of access.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dappy15:
Is it possible to use the six axis accelerometer to control the look/aim? That would eliminate the use of the bottom right analog and would just be amazing. But it sounds like a tricky implementation. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] asrrin29:
play heavy gunner and get back to me on that. It uses the accerometer and it's very difficult to use. I don't want to swing my phone around to lay an FPS game. I also vote for dual analog controls. I have a captivate, and I'd be willing to test this game.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BoostedSR20:
Been testing this on and an off all day on my Captivate. Works great. I average about 50ish fps. Once in ahwile it will hit 60, then lag for a split second and jump to 40. Then back to 50s. Much faster than my Nexus. Multi touch works alot better also, its very playable. The taunt and crouch buttons don't work for me, and neither does the weapon switching bar. So I'm stuck with whatever I pickup. All in all, not bad for a beta.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TripKidd:
I must have missed the link to the .apk :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] iceman4357:
My vote, after playing a NOVA and Crusade of Destiny, is a D-pad like in Crusade. It is very fluid and easy to use. In a perfect world, I would say have two D-pads: left for movement and right for look. Then use the volume up to fire.

I have a captivate if you need more testers. I still can not believe we get 40-60 FPS on this game. Never did I think I would see the day where my cell phone can play 3d FPS with ease.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TripKidd:
A dpad for aim/look would be horrible. With a touch screen we can get aim close to the accuracy of a mouse. with some sort of dpad we're taking a huge step back.

Crusade of destiny is different because thats not a first person shooter, its 3rd person.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caelestis2:
Make the controls like nova. They are easy. (Left joystick moves. Drag anywhere on screen to aim, fire button can be moved like a joystick to get finer accuracy..)

I dont like the arrows, make it a joystick plz.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ranova:
awesome port! runs at full 60fps on my captivate and the controls are pretty good.

Quick suggestion is to make the joypad area draggable outside the area of the picture, like how the gameloft FPS games are done. (continue to move even if your thumb is outside the little circle)

[Captivate Themes and Apps] accinfo:
Overall a darn high potential game, but lacking a pretty crucial control. (accelerator!)

Maybe integrate accelator to control the view?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mesasone:
I'm more interested in seeing what developers can do with the engine now that it's been shown to run well on the phone, and hopefully future android devices will be able to achieve comparable performance. There are a lot developers out there... both amatuer and professional that have years of expeirence with the engine. It's pretty exciting.

That said, we have to start somewhere and it's usually best to start with the low hanging fruit.

The controls look like they are getting overly complex really fast. I think we may have to accept limited control due to the platform - but if all users have to deal with the same limitations, it shouldn't be much of an issue.

I'd like to see some form of accelleromitter [sic] control implemented. I was thinking that having the option to tilt the phone to strafe left/right would be a big improvement. That, with a gesture-based analog stick for aiming would seem like a good control seem, provided it can be implemented effectively.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dweebs0r:
I think this is a great project. Thanks for the work you are doing.

Not to be a killjoy but are you distributing original quake 3 files? If so, that may be a way to get the development ended on this thing quickly if/when id software gets wind of it.

Maybe try using the files from "openarena". They are completely open source and I believe they are ok for distributing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TDQuiksilver:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] VtHondaGuy08:
What am I doing wrong? Its downloading as a .rar file! There's gotta be some stupid thing I'm doing wrong any takers :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
I am distributing the Quake 3 Demo files + the 1.32 point release files which come from the online installer. I am not distributing the full version's pak0 which is required to run the full version. The 1.32 files and the demo is free.

As for RAR, that's right. It's a RAR file. Just like ZIP. Use winRAR to unRAR it on windows or 'Unrar" from marketplace

As for any suggestions any of you may have regarding the controls, or anything, please post in the Kwaak3 Arena forums so I can keep track of them for future builds.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] asrrin29:
I vote against accelerometer controls. It works in racing games, but with FPS it's not sensitive enough and you would end up wiggling your screen all around just to move. Heavy Gunner is a psuedo-fps that uses the accelerometer to move the view and it's just darn difficult to play.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
