Still looking for a netflix app that works properly. Anyone know of one?

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] baltimorelizard:
Optic2,

when you were using the modded app, did you try going to manage applications force stop, and clearing data and cache? I have since switched devices, but I did boot up my liberty when you posted and confirmed that (for me at least) it still works.

Okay so I downgraded from 2.2 using the new root method and I am officially rooted. However i am at my house and I can not seem to connect to anything. Its if im getting no service but I am. Anyone experience this? What do I do to fix this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
So you're running rooted 2.2 or 2.1? Sorry not too familiar with the root exploit and what firmware you end up with. Have you flashed any roms yet? What radio are you currently on? You should be on 2.15.00.07.28

i was looking around on the web and came across this.

www(dot)streaksmart(dot)com/2010/08/how-to-sideload-apps-on-stock-att-dell-streak-without-root-adb-or-sideload-wonder-machine(dot)html

is there any chance that this works on any ATT android device.?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] pinoymutt:
Only way to find out is to try! :D

But in all honesty, it looks like this is a pretty specific code to the Streak (and a certain build of 1.6 at that) - but who knows...

I have root and tested the cyanogen rom and it's not for me. How can I get the EVO 4G back to default with root - the closet I can get to a state like out of the box. I successfully reverted to 2.1 from 2.2

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkinnison90:
Search in the development forum and there are some bone stock ROMs with only root added. If I wasn't using the XDA app I'd try and find them for you.

Netarchy's rom at this thread is bone stock, exactly the same as came from Sprint except it is rooted. If you want totally stock, with root, that is the way to go.

[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] metman87:
Does anybody know if it's safe to use SetCPU on the D2? The processor is fast enough. I'd just like to see if i can stretch the battery by underclocking it while the screen is off as I've read is commonplace on other phones. Thanks.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] ljbaumer:
I would definitely like to know also cause if you can I would root right away
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] marsha12151:
I rooted yesterday and setCPU was one of the first apps I installed - just for underclocking when asleep! Seems to have worked fine, no problems yet.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] djh816:
Yea I autodetected speeds and it seems fine. It won't allow you to overclock yet until we are able to either get a new kernel module to do it or a full kernel (bit off still, even droid x can't do that yet). I underclock when screen is off and that works just fine
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] metman87:
ok. thanks. i've been running it for about 12 hours now to underclock with the screen off and so far, no issues. this phone is getting better by the day.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] wsfanatic:
I've used SetCPU to underclock while the screen is off. My battery life is much better than before. I've also removed some of the bloat.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] newk8600:
I too have been using SetCPU to underclock when the screen is off or when I'm in class. I haven't had any problems yet.

It's the first app that I've paid for but thats just because I'm cheap:D, but that's only because I'm a broke college student.
[Droid 2 Themes and Apps] doomedromance:
I'm running SetCPU 2.02 no problems. I'm actually running my phone underclocked to 800 and it's running fine. Screen off is set to 600.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsnyder217:
I haven't seen anyone else get this problem I rooted my evo using the 2.2 rooting method and then I flashed the newest clockwork mod recovery using rom manager but every time I try to flash something i

get an error message how do I fix this? Did I do something wrong?

No idea, but I've read a lot of people having trouble with Clockwork. Might wanna try flashing Ra
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsnyder217:
Thanks but how would I flash ra?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsnyder217:
No ra doesn't work either it keeps giving me this error " assert failed: getprop(" ro.bootloader") == "0.76.2000
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
The Froyo root method puts you back on 2.1 and uses Unrevoked to root. It then has you flash Unrevoked Forever to unlock hboot. Seems to me you are limited to half root 2.1 until regaw releases a further tutorial. The error is asking for the ENG bootloader which you wont have until NAND is unlocked. Seems to me you are limited to half root 2.1 until regaw releases a further tutorial. With half root you'll be limited to what you can flash. I'm sure you'll be able to fully root and upgrade to 2.2 soon. Hope this helps.

[EDIT] It appears once you've completed the tutorial you can use previous 2.1 root methods such as Toast's part 2 or simpleroot. Then you'd be free to flash away without issue cuz you'll then have the ENG bootloader.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fortissimo:
Everything works. Some scratches and dents but only cosmetically. LCD is perfect and screen protector is on at all time. Comes w/ everything from the box, and includes 1 original stylus (it came with 2 originally).

AGB 3.0.0 is on the device now.

$300. USD + shipping (or local pick up in Vancouver Canada).

1st owner, originally bought from Expansys, shipped from US.

Accept Paypal, or EFT (banking transfer). Can set up private eBay if requested.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fortissimo:
Price drop: asking $250. USD + shipping

As above, condition still same as last posted.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fortissimo:
Price drop, still available, $150. USD + shipping

Same condition above, except I noticed that the original battery is not doing too well, so I'm ordering a replacement (non original) that will come in soon.

Despite being older, this is a very stable system after AGB 3.0.0 (the most stable and least bugs I have ever tried over the years).

If I don't sell it, then I'll re-purpose it as a dedicated GPS navigation device, as the screen size is not too bad (it has more real estate than a 5" GPS nav as those are wide screen aspect ratio). I actually sold my Garmin 1450LMT and my TomTom XXL 550TM and kept this instead!
[Droid X Accessories] BB2DX:
I love my dx and my cardock. However, since updating to froyo, when I try to make a call from the dock, it goes to speaker. When I turn speaker off, it doesnt play through car speakers like it did with 2.1. Its really frustrating. Did I miss something? Is there a setting that disabled the headphone jack? Do I need to flash the sbf and start over? The only mod that I have done is the grey status bar (not running deodexed version because I dont understand it or clockwork recovery).

Any help would be really appreciated.
[Droid X Accessories] mrcaseman:
Motorola posted a " we know & are working on it" msg. yesyerday, ( Mon 09-27-10) and the will be a bug-fix coming out "some time soon".

Check your update software for the Froyo 2.x every now and then.

I know, tou've been waiting a month already.
[Droid X Accessories] zehkaiser:
Interesting that you're having this problem. I haven't had this happen to me and I use my dock daily.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kraynes71:
Just wondering if anyone else has problems with sending or recieving picture messages. It's hard to tell what the culprit is. I'm using Handcent now, but I noticed it with the stock SMS client too. Does anyone else have a problem, or is it possibly because I live in an edge area? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accrews2001:
I've read lots of posts where people cannot send MMS larger than 100k on an Edge network but have no problems on 3G.

As for receiving, I've had issues with receiving MMS from my friends that have iPhone4. They send me one and I get no notification whatsoever that they even tried to send it to me until they send me another text asking, "did I get it?" I've tested it by receiving MMS from Samsung Eternity, iPhone 3GS, and another ATT non-smartphone and I've received the messages fine. So far, just problems with iphone4.

Also, I don't receive MMS if I'm on wifi.

Hi everyone...

Im looking for suggestions on how to customize my stock vibrant and try all col things with this powerful phone... So far I have launcher pro and a beautiful widgets... And some games like need for speed shift demo... Anything else cool and exciting I can try or download on my phone w/o rooting it? Or screwing up ota uodates in the future?... Like changing tmob boot up screen or any suggestions at alll...

Thanx
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
In the settings you can change the "font style." (New fonts can be downloaded for a buck.) It can have a significant effect on how things appear. Some suggestions from the tips thread are Helvetica Nue, Soho Gothic, Frutiger and Felbridge. I'm digging Helvetica a lot.
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
Thanx for suggestion.. I forgot to mention I downloaded a few flip fonts I love how it changes the look of the phone.. Any other suggestions? Or performance boosters?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
you can not change the boot logo (or shutdown) if you are not rooted. If you are rooted, you still get OTA, but once installed it will unroot the phone
[Vibrant General] solidkundi:
No problem do this

Fancy Widgets

Pure Messenger/ Grid Calendar and an Agenda app... (can't remember the name)
[Vibrant General] dublj:
I am running Agenda Widget and liking it ok so far. I am always looking for a better one.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Launcher Pro or ADW, Beautiful Widgets, change the font style.

Here is a link to a thread with a plethora of Flip Fonts to choose from. Just download the .apk. locate and install on your device. Go into settings and change the font, restart and there you go :-)

[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
Don't mean to pick on the op but I'm curious why people don't want to root.

I did the day it was possible and haven't looked back. So many things you can do to customize all reversible if you have to. Just don't try doing really crazy stuff unless you know what your doing but most things in the stick under the root section are easy and awesome.

Anyway I'd love to understand why people don't just do it.
[Vibrant General] drhonk:
Battery usage with percentage would be really nice. :)
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
One more awesome thing to do with root. I don't get why you wouldn't.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
I don't get why people who don't root their phones go on XDA. XDA is a place for rooting and ROM development. Not a user-friendly website for non-rooters. But yeah definitely root, you can customize a lot more. Customize the notifications bar, I don't really big the light gray and blue 3G icon
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
I've gone from a few different Nokias, to a Motorola Razor, to a Blackberry Pearl and now finally to a Samsung Vibrant. I'm pretty good with computers and software so I know I could get rooting/recovery/flashing down, but this is my first time with a mobile device I could hack.

Whenever I do research on the topic I find multiple threads with multiple ways to root. The whole directions/concept just isn't crystal clear with me yet, despite how much I've read. And, there's always posts at the end of each thread by users with unanswered issues/problems.

I guess, I'm just taking the slow cautious route, enjoying stock android eclair for a while. I do have the itch, but no apps or issues with my phone have pushed me beyond curiosity and into the experimental, so to speak.

What is the top main reason you have for rooting your vibrant?

Edit: to point out, I know I could've "hacked" my previous phones, but not the way you can with an Android phone, you know what I mean...
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
- Allows access to applications that require root access (e.g. Titanium Backup, SetCPU, AdFree (not suggested since it helps developers), metamorph, etc)

- When you root, you have the ability to flash a custom recovery that allows custom ROMs. This allows nandroid backups, restores, and more.

- Remove bloatware that comes with the phone (this one DEFINITELY)

- Screenshots
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
See, I get confused. All I've read about recovery was people talking about "booting into recovery. The only thing I thought you flashed were the custom ROMs. And, I thought you only needed the backups and restores so you could get back to an unrooted state in case you needed warrantee work, or messed up your phone somehow.

What are the major bloatware items on the stock t-mobile vibrant?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Account & Settings on the App Drawer

Gogo

Amazon Kindle

TeleNav

T-Mobile Voicemail

MobiTV

Memo

AudioPostcard

(and many more)

... oh yeah and with root (and installed clockwork recovery) you can apply the Captivate camera which its interface is easier to apply different scenes.

And no.. you can restore non-root with Odin and nandroid backup (JAC's thread has a unrooted backup online). But yeah you do backups before you apply hacks to your phone incase anything happens
[Vibrant General] shevys:
Get the app called Battery Status Pro. That gives you what you want.
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
Trying to figure out how to remove bloatware was THE reason I found xda and rooted. I had no idea what I was doing but it is ULTRA easy. Download update zip-boot to recovery-apply-enjoy. That got me discovering all the other awesome things I can do.

You will always see people who have problems with anything in the threads. This is why you make backups. Once you have those you can do a lot more with a lot more confidence knowing that if you make a mistake you can correct it - mostly. And you can unroot if you have to.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Agreed. Love having it.
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
Come on guys lets talk about stuff you can do for non rooters please. I did root my phone but I took it to far and bricked it. I'm not doing it again and I know that xda forums lean more to rooting then not. I thought a thread that talked about non rooted phones was a great idea but its been taken over. So I'm bringing it back.

There are a lot of good lockscreen apps to look at for changing your lockscreen. I've used some of them just haven settled on one yet. So no need to root just have fun with it the way it is.
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
Thanx for staying on topic... no offense to others... where do i find different lock screens?
[Vibrant General] spacecasespiff:
Just type it in on the app store there's about five good ones
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
Thanx!.... Does anyone know how to change the clock from numbers to letters? I saw many screen shots and it looks really nice when the time is in words
[Vibrant General] dalephil22:
The program is called Tajm, it turns numbers into words. Look for it in the market
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
OK, I still don't get why you wouldn't root BUT whether you do or not check out Tasker it's a paid app ($6) but worth it. You can customize or do just about anything. Custom widgets, custom menus, all kinds little tweaks and changes.

I've been trying to unlock my friend's phone, but it appears he's tried an incorrect code too many times and thus it does not give him the option to type in the network unlock code after putting in a foreign SIM. How do I go about using the Unfreeze code sgux.exe gave me?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
From what the thread states you need to flash to a nandroid backup and retry. If that doesn't work you might need to Odin one click back to stock. The best way to do it is use a separate Sim card, because I couldn't get the alternate method to work without a Sim card. Not saying it can't be done because there are steps to do so, I just didn't see how to figure it out. I bought a Sim from T-mobile for $10.

- Remove SIM and reboot phone

- enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610) using the 'unlock code'

- enter *7465625*638*# and relock the phone to another network other than the one u have u'r sim card (eg 22610) using the 'unfreeze code'. You won't get any message that it was unlocked, just a bad code message.

- Reboot phone.

Import Contacts from Hotmail Into my Samsung Epic 4G Sprint phone

I just got rid of my HTC touch pro cause of hacking problems and low security and decided to try the EPIC SAMSUNG 4G provided with SPRINT..so far Im not impressed with the flexibility of many applications such as the blue tooth is far less flexible in features then with the WINDOWS mobile and its apps...I also am having a hard time getting rid of downloaded notifications at the top of the app that appear after you make a sync and send over contacts or other files.....Were am I going with this?...I tried to move my contacts over by importing them into the new devise like it would work with a windows mobile devise by simply adding the hotmail account. That doesnt work at all or didn't for me! I set up the hotmail account but there was not option to import the contacts after. None of my 1000 contacts imported into the new EPIC phone. So I attempted to do a blue tooth sync. This also didn't, work It said it sent across 998 files for contacts but instead it only sent over 400 now I dont know what is missing and need to completely restart the phone to try another method. I have tried going into the sprint store and moving contacts their but they are not any better. The last time I tried to transfer my contacts from one HTC to another they moved the contacts but omitted the notes section and also the category leaving me clueless to who the people were since many have the same name and I left notes, it did this to all 800 contacts at the time. It seems this is a pain in the butt. Does anybody know how to import hotmail contacts:mad: efficiently into the EPIC PHONE ..Help.
