It sounds like the same problem I had but I wasn't able to connect anywhere - At either one of my offices or at home. I tried to add in manual settings in the Android menu but it still didn't help.

I'll try messing with the settings.db file if this happens again and report back. I'm crossing my fingers that I never have this problem again but you never know. Hopefully we can get a couple of known working solutions posted on here since it sounds like there are plenty of people out there having this problem.
[Captivate General] msm903:
That happened to me three days ago

I had manually altered the wifi configuration file to add a wpa leap connection and them I had added leap wifi. During the process I ran into the same problem. Restoring an old configuration file or deleting the existing one worked for me. No factory reset needed. File located in /data/wifi
[Captivate General] sola fide:
Thanks for the tip msm. When I look in the data folder I didn't find a wifi folder. However I did find a wifi.conf file in system/etc/wifi. Do you think these are the same?

Thanks Again!
[Captivate General] derrick206:
when i tried this it gave me a completely different message.

any idea what to do?
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
what was the completely different message?

1000 1000 in place of the system system?
[Captivate General] boborone:
I tried deleting bcm_supp.conf in data/wifi folder. Original file size was 245kb, new one that got rewritten was 233kb. In terminal editor I got what max said it should be. I got this problem after installing wifi manager from the market. I have pre8 installed. Other than that, I have installed a game from gameloft and glu that had access to wifi properties. Will uninstall both and post update.

Please elaborate on the chmod. Haven't read about it, (haven't seen it). I have the option for chmod 644 in sufbs.

Btw I have copies of both files if you would like me to post em up. I'm rooted and non market app enabled if that helps.

Happy to help. Thanks.

I too would like to know, as I'd rather not do a factory reset, and I'm having the exact same problem.
[Captivate General] derrick206:
it said

[Captivate General] alec5216:
I had this exact same problem yesterday and today.

What I did to fix:

Flash to Stock

SRE update.zip //didn't check wifi to see if it worked here

Titanium restore all system info + apps //checked wifi here, didn't work

Factory reset

Titanium restore all but wifi settings //wifi worked after this

From what I could tell, I think you would be fine with just a factory reset and a titanium backup with all but wifi settings restored.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: A flash to stock + back to root might fix your problem if you don't restore your wireless settings. (I think that was my mistake)
[Captivate General] derrick206:
thanks, i really dont want to restore.. but titanium will let me get all of my stuff back?
[Captivate General] alec5216:
Worked for me. All I had to do was replace my widgets.

EDIT: Going to bed, if you try to fix wifi tonight, good luck. I'll await your results in the morning!
[Captivate General] sola fide:
I've read on older android forums that simply removing some of the wireless configuration files should fix the problem as the OS will recreate the files. I haven't had the problem since I've flashed the first time so I haven't tested this. But if someone feels like it you could move the files to the SD card to test this and see what happens. If anything goes horribly wrong you could transfer the files back.
[Captivate General] penguin6:
I know this is somewhat old, but I'm just throwing in another suggestion that worked for me. Using ROM Manager, I used the "fix permissions" options and then rebooted and my wifi started to work. As to what caused it to fail in the first place, I'm not sure. I did flash a new ROM, but my wifi was working for a solid day after that. I woke up the next morning and couldn't connect to my network. *Shrug* Good luck!
[Captivate General] boborone:
My problem was the original rooting process. Saved all settings as they were when you rooted. Ringtones, sound volume, wifi state, everything.

From a phone
[Captivate General] GAMacky:
After rooting or flashing rom and didn't do CHMOD 660 ... and CHOWN SYSTEM.SYSTEM ..., then the system can't change the WIFI ON setting in settings.db. So when you turn the WIFI on, the phone can't change that setting flag from 0 to 1. When the next time WIFI scans for available AP's, it also checks this setting in settings.db. It sees that the WIFI ON entry in setting is set to off (0), then it turns itself off.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Precisely

The original rooting methods didn't have that step.

[Android Themes] SpeeDemon:
I am trying to edit Settings.apk to look similar to the styling in the Samsung Galaxy. The summary text for various options is blue, I want to do this as well:

I have been trying to edit this, but the xml files dont have TextViews, they are Android PreferenceScreen's. Is there a way to change this? I tried adding 'android:textColor=........' but obviously this does not apply to PreferenceScreen.

Is there another area inside the Settings.apk that will define summary text color for PreferenceScreen? I have searched Google and only find the same unanswered post on about 10 different sites.

Sample code from wireless_settings.xml:

<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/network_settings_title" android:summary="@string/network_settings_summary" android:dependency="toggle_airplane">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.phone" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.phone.Settings" />
</PreferenceScreen>

The associated strings.xml entry:

<string name="network_settings_summary">Set options for roaming, networks, APNs</string>

public.xml entry:

<public type="string" name="network_settings_summary" id="0x7f09027a" />

Thank you!

PS: If you have the Settings.apk from a Galaxy S phone, I would love to obtain a copy so I can inspect how they have done thins :-)

i'm not pretty sure, but i have same problem with u, i think you can find TextView on framework.jar, not settings.apk. there is text view.smali inside jar file.

Hello...

Fairly new here...

Also new to this rooting/rom business...

but, to the point.

I have a Rogers Magic 32A, with the stock Rogers rom.

my fastboot specs are

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76. 0010 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.10.18

Jan 14 2010, 00:14:58

I am using the universal androot app, and running ROM Manager.

Whenever I boot into recovery, it either freezes after a few seconds, or resets the phone back to the first splash screen, and continues to work as normal (no bricking or any of that jazz.)

So anyway, my question is...

Does anyone know why it's doing this?

I got it to flash Cyanogenmod 6.0 once, but it didn't actually install.

Do I need a different radio and SPL?

I've tried searching, and I found nothing... but if there is already a thread with this issue, I'll gladly revert to that, and delete this thread.

TL;DR

-Phone is involuntarily restarting when I go into recovery mode

-Running stock Rogers rom, ROM manager, rooted with universal androot app

-New to android customization

-Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks for reading. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] giulianobr:
I have the same problem!!

What I can do to fix it?

I'm really scared ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
the problem likely is you are loading the ebi1 recovery (magic 32a running 3.x radio) on you "hero like" magic (magic 32a running 6.x radio)

The hero recovery will work but you may find few roms.

I'd reccomend these rooting instructions

The process will work from the top I believe but since you ran androot after placing the files onto the phone you can skip to where I run exploid (with the seceetlol password) and run 'su' instead of exploid.

Once you have a 3.x radio with working rom and recovery if you want to checkout rom manager you can hopefully with less issues and if an issue happens you can always flash a recovery via fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cezegg:
I did end up fixing my issue.

Great Big Dog on the androidforums helped me out...

I tried to look for my thread that I posted on the androidforums, but I guess it got deleted...

pretty much... I followed GBD's quick root guide for the post 911 update for rogers magics, with a tiny bit of a switch for flashing the amonRA rom.

I can't remember exactly what it was, and I really wish that thread didn't get deleted.

And I can't link in any posts, so I can't really help you out.

I usually always just suggest installing a fresh RUU, especially if you don't know what you're doing... like me.

you can probably find one on the htc website.
[G1 Apps and Games] Cobra281:
is there any app that does this? it's getting annoying to use astro file manager, checking all the apps i want to install, and then still giving permission to each app to be installed. tried searching, but yielded no relevant results.
[G1 Apps and Games] ol0rin:
I don't know whether you can do it via graphical UI, but surely you can use ADB and simple shell script to install from your PC.

for APP in `ls *.apk`; do
adb install $APP
done

I think it's possible also from terminal emulator with similar script - replace adb with pm, but I didn't test this one.

thanks, everyone! :cool: yes, this was because i installed a new froyo rom(chromatic 4.4).

it took awhile, but i got android commander working, and was able to install all my apps using it.

just having a weird issue now;

so, as mentioned, i used android commander to install all my apps. they all seem to have installed on the phone, however, and not on the SD card. i have "allow application moving" checked, and "install location" set to 'automatic'. i am able to move the applications 1-by-1 in settings > manage applications > downloaded, then clicking on the application, and then pressing "move to sd card". why aren't the apps being installed to the sd card? how can i move them all at once? i really don't want to move each app, one at a time. thanks
[Hero CDMA General] beyondinferno:
ONLY WORKS WITH ANDROID 2.2 (FROYO)

For those of you that don't know, Google released a new Voice Search that allows "actions". For more info go Here.

First off, I wanna thank Tsenru, klinster, devlogic, BinaryMan, and Synchromatic @ the CM forum for all the info.

This is instructions for ubuntu so make the proper adjustments for windows if needed.

From ADB

adb pull /system/app ~/Desktop/app/
adb remount
adb shell rm -f /system/app/VoiceSearch.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch
adb shell rm -f /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Once this is done you can search market for "voice search" and "google search" then after they're installed, reboot.

Now for the next step.

If the search hard key doesn't bring up the quick search box (keyboard input), do this.

adb remount
adb shell ln -s /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk
adb reboot

Now all should work!

I had a wierd name for quick search box (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1) so keep that in mind if you have any issues.

Now enjoy you fancy new voice search!
[Hero CDMA General] mmace:
tried everyone's suggestions so far, with your suggestions I get:

[Hero CDMA General] temple2101:
Worked for me, thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] painter_:
Rather then using the command adb shell mv /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox /system/app

I suggest the command ln -s /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk

ln -s creates a symbolic link to the file rather then moving the file. It keeps the google search file where the installer put it. If you move the file are you causing an issue in the future when the next upgrade comes around?
[Hero CDMA General] Nieylana:
adb remount first... and when using rm try busybox...

busybox rm <<file>>

Thanks for all the hard work. Any help is greatly appreciated.`

Hi !

Since I'm using Android my phone is getting hot after 5-10 mins of intensive use ( playing with the market, internet,youtube, twitter ... ). The temperature is about 37°c and when I'm playing games like Nova, my phone is getting close to 45°c. I don't think it could damage my phone, just want to know if it's "normal" temperature.

So, anyone know what maximum temperature the phone can handle ?

Thanks !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tser04:
I've had the same experience. The trick that worked for me was installing SetCPU, mentioned in other threads in this forum. Using default values, i was able to keep temperature down at about 30 degrees celsius. It also increased battery time significantly. In SetCPU you are able to define profiles, activating defined CPU scaling settings when specified conditions are met, e.g. when temperature is above a specified level. I couldn't get this to work properly, maybe due to the DisablePowerManagement settings in my ChuckyDroid ROM registry. But, with default settings in SetCPU, you should be ok.

Hi everyone I just got my vibrant from tmo last week and I'm loving most of it so far.

I tried doing a search and couldn't find anything on this but maybe I missed it, so if I did, can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Basically, I am trying to download .doc and .ppt files directly from my class website which my professor posted up. I tried through the default web browser, dolphin browser, steel, skyfire and xscope. I am unable to download the files through any of these browsers except for xscope. Even through xscope though, the file is downloaded, but when I attempt to open through thinkfree office, all I see is html code in the document. Also, if I use documents to go, it says that it cannot be opened because it is actually an html file.

I have verified that through my laptop that the files on the website do work and can be downloaded to my pc.

Thanks for the help!
