[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendr34:
does anyone else notice the flash color led is slighly different with Novatek and Epson panel? it could be a coincidence. I put the two side by side and noticed that the Novatek panel is slighly more "whiter/blue" vs the epsons which as a warmer white.

not trying to be nitpicky but im kinda curious why its like that. the iphone camera's led color is the same as the evo's novatek led as well. not sure which one is better or if it matters at all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:
I have a nova panel screen and apparently i can trade it in for a epson screen, cuz i like the more black look better, but i also heard a bout Super LCD screens and thought maybe the Evo would get it and i should wait to trade it in for one with that. Do they or will they make a SLCD for the EVO Screen?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudementry:
No... Where did you hear that? The only phones to get SLCD screens were phones that already had AMOLED screens, and they were only replaced because there is a shortage of AMOLEDs.

What would give you such a crazy idea?
[General Questions and Answers] pyro777:
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to write an android program which will allow users to connect to an HID device. The device captures external pen strokes and I would like to retrieve this data and make a basic whiteboard app.

I've made some progress so far: if I use adb push to put the "hidd" daemon on a rooted phone and use hidd --connect, then I can open up hcidump and see the raw data appearing when the pen is used, so I know such a connection is possible.

I'm still a beginner at Android development, but I've learned that app communication with the bluetooth facilities is done via the dbus API. So, I wrote a simple test program using the NDK that tries to make a connection to the system dbus, based on some bluetooth-related code in mydroid/bin/frameworks/base/core/jni:

DBusConnection *conn = dbus_bus_get(DBUS_BUS_SYSTEM, &err);

On my non-rooted phone, this results in the error "VERBOSE/JNI1Activity_DEBUG(3226): Result: Could not get onto the system bus: Failed to connect to socket /dev/socket/dbus: Permission denied."

If I go ahead and do chmod 666 on /dev/socket/dbus on my rooted phone, then the connection can be made without error.

So, my question is this--first of all, am I going about this the right way? If so, is there some way that an application can get permission to talk to dbus on a non-rooted phone?

(If I can get this working, I think the next step would be to try and package/build in the needed parts of hidd to include with my app...)

Many thanks for any help,

Tom
[General Questions and Answers] evodevo:
Hi pyro777,

I was wondering if you received any replies on your query?

I also have a similar problem -- my android app accesses Dbus via a JNI, but I am getting the same permissions problem. I can use your workaround of explicitly setting the permissions on /dev/socket/dbus, but that solution can't be used for production code.

My Android java app as BLUETOOTH permissions, but this doesn't appear to be applied across the JNI boundary (as my experience indicates) into the JNI c++ library (*.so).

Does anyone have more info on this issue?

Thanks in advance,

robin
[General Questions and Answers] pyro777:
Hi evodevo,

No, no such luck so far :) if you figure it out I'd be happy to hear.
[General Questions and Answers] dickydick1969:
Strange, if this fails how does the normal Bluetooth java API it?

Perhaps certain permissions need to be set on your app? BLUETOOTH_ADMIN or so?

question 4 u: which libraries do you include when doing dbus stuff I get undefined references the whole time?

Hi all:

Still waiting for my order and I will go to Buffalo to pick it up this weekend...I am going to use it on Telus (Canada). I saw the post that someone called but no luck getting the unlock code. Anyone else tried calling AT&T or Dell and got a different answer?

I don't mind paying to unlock via a code but hate using a rebel sim. Anyone know where in Canada or online that can get the phone unlocked by code?

Thanks in advance

So over the weekend I bought the Hd2 and tried installing android. Which I did, to a certain point. However I get no sound because haret is launched before CLRCAD.EXE.

The reason for this is I installed one of the boot loader where it automatically runs those two files boots Android automatically.

Before I use to reformat the SD card via computer and the phone through WinMo but now I dont have an option to boot in WinMo at all. How can I reformat my device since I can run WinMo.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FriedSushi87:
Take the card out and put it into your computer then format.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] contender1543:
I have done that, but it still boots the program and comes to a screen saying " Launch Android" or "File Explorer". I might have accidentally saved the program on the phone rather than the SD card.

It does not give me an option to boot in WinMo where I need to reformat my phone.

Is there any other way where I can reformat my phone?

How do you flash your bootloader though? Or does that do it automatically when flashing the device.

mate, enter bootloader (phone off, then phone on while holding VOLUME DOWN key) then connect your phone through USB to the PC and re-flash a new ROM via PC.

Make sure you have HSPL installed on the phone! If not try searching for HSPL2 and install it while in bootloader. Make sure you read the instructions.

It should be OK!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncle Irish:
Hard to explain in the title, but when I activate both GPS and Wireless, I cannot access the market, browser, email. etc. I can only go over the standard data plan. Running SuperE now. This has been going on for a few days.

I did a full re-root of the phone from the nbh and installed SuperE since it was the only rom in the card that wasn't a Froyo rom.

If I run wireless, I get no internet, market, etc

I get the "a network error has occurred, retry, etc..." message

I know I have the wireless settings correct because I entered the security key manually and was dished an IP address. I can even see the IP address on my network, just can't get any internet, market, email, browser.. anything network related when wireless is on is failing.

As for Gingerbread, nobody knows if it is a turd or not, so I am not about to get all worked up about am OS that won't be available for my device until late next year, if ever...

However... it would be nice to know there will be long-term support and development for this device. It is quite an expensive piece of equipment to hit end-of-life a year later.

I got mine for $150... but with the 2 year contract.

However, since AT&T is the only provider that has good coverage at my house, i am locked into them regardless of whether I have a contract or not.

2 year extension only means I have to wait 18 months to get the latest-greatest phone... I'm not complaining.
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:

[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Did they tell you you could not keep your unlimited plan?

My wife ha sthe iPhone4, and I have my captivate, and we both still have unlimited data...
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
I had 3 choices

1) Get captivate for free, keep my plan, put 2 year contract on a family line.

2) Get iphone 4, do "cross-upgrade" (put contract on a family line) register micro-sim/imei to me, and keep my plan.

3) Buy either phone off contract

I went with 3, but not "official", I saw some guy on craigslist selling it new in box $350, so I bought it, took my sim out of old Motorola Backflip (CRAP OUT-DATED DEVICE) and placed it in my Captivate.

So I don't know if the phone is "technically" covered by att, but I registered it with samsung.
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
You didn't buy it from AT&T so they will not cover anything. Not even support if they didn't want to. The latter is not likely as I have purchased 2nd hand devices and they have not refused to provide technical support.
[Captivate General] drnls:
joey - how did you keep unlimited data with two year upgrade? Thanks, NLS
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
Talk to AT&T if you bought the device from them.

I got my Captivate via LetsTalk.com and I was given a checkbox that says "I WANT TO KEEP MY 30$ UNLIMITED PLAN"

If you're still fresh into your new contract you should be able to tell them to switch it to your good ol' unlimited data plan and don't let them tell you the otherwise. Be persistent.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:

But on Gingerbread.. How far along are we actually in development? Are there even any screenshots or videos of it yet? Whats the expected release date?
[Captivate General] BobPaul:
You know, I've been worried that this may be a general problem for all smart phones.

There is little, actually negative, incentive for manufactures to upgrade the OS of any phone. They don't charge for the upgrades and new phones are "relatively" cheap.

Additionally, the players in question tend to be hardware manufactures not software manufactures.

I think the deck is stack against those of us that want to see OS upgrades on smart phones.

Just my 2 cents worth, YMMV.
[Captivate General] sola fide:
Yep, I'm going to agree here. A wireless company would need to invest lots of money for a team to test and prepare a new OS after it's received from the manufacturer to be sent out to a device. Or they could just spend that money on checking a new incoming phone which would already be prepped for the new OS.

In today's world they know a majority of us are going to be drooling over the next big thing in a year. Why give you something for free when they can get you to buy it? ;)

The only phone to really break this mold is the iPhone. Only because it's one piece of hardware controlled by the manufacturer. They only have to worry about the OS working with their own hardware. Where Gingerbread will need to be adapted to every manufacturer that wants to use it.

If it looks amazing I'll be praying for Samsung and AT&T to step up to the plate for their customers; but I won't be checking BGR expecting anything.
[Captivate General] E_man5112:
If it's late next year, we will all be running 3.2 roms be then. Gingerbread is supposedly only 4-6 months away

[Captivate General] boborone:
The way I see it, samsung, htc, moto, nobody cares if you get a higher os. They will make an update due to calender reasons like the 2.1 to 2.2 to get you to buy a device with an old os.

But if the devs can put 2.2 on a g1, which google said couldn't happen, doesn't really matter what hardware we have. It's up to all of us to support the devs to make anything happen.
