[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmdude:
Are there any reasons why I should turn off the "USB debugging" setting? For example performance or security or battery-life or more?

Thanks again for any ideas!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minigtr:
i looked through my processes(with the USB on and off) and found nothing associated with it that draws power or uses memory...although there may be a process that runs while the device is connected with a computer or other usb source
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmdude:
Thanks for your quick response. So there is apparently no performance/battery impact. That leaves the question of security?

Is it secure to leave this setting on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Should be, unless you set it up for wireless debugging either manually or through an app. Then its not entirely secure, though someone would need to know your ip address and have adb to do anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senility base:
a2sd turns on usb debugging permanently?

Don't think I want USB debugging on all the time. Seems like a great new way for future malware to jump from your friend's laptop when you've just plugged in to charge.

Since I flashed a2sd (dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed.zip) USB debugging seems to be always on. It shows in notifications, but not in the settings gui (settings -> applications -> development).

Is this normal? Anyone know a way I can stop it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmdude:
It is better to turn off USB debugging.

What you see is not normal :-) Maybe it is just a glitch. I would reboot the phone.

You could also try to connect via adb to see whether it is really on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackasaur:
I have a problem trying to flash roms, I wipe and everything and I still can't flash them properly, I tried CM6 and whenever its done flashing I boot up and it stays on the screen with the X and the padlock, it doesn't do anything. HELP? I've tried using Amon RA, and Clockwork, I get the same results.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackasaur:
Help?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
After flashing CM6, copy the recovery log to the SD card (There is an option in Amon_RAs recovery, not sure about Clockwork). Check out and see if there's any problems reported there...

Also, make sure you have the correct radio version...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
Unnecessary... it's a common problem.

Boot, when you're stuck at the X do the following:

PWR+VOL DWN+TRKBALL -> hold until the white HBOOT screen appears

Navigate to recovery from HBOOT screen

Wipe cache (or dalvik-cache) in recovery

Reboot from recovery

Tada!

Shouldn't happen frequently but if it happens again follow the same procedure.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] devabhishek:
hello every one..

i m not new in this world of modding and hacking but just recently i have upgraded my device from samsung omnia i900 to samsung i9000 galaxy s .. i have tried almost every rom out there on my omnia.. which was a windows mobile..

but since i m new to android world i would firstly like to know what are the benefits of a routed device .. to a stock device..

according to all the posts i have read i think it is possible to flash any other rom to galaxy s only if the device is routed .. correct me if i am wrong..

so what are the other benefits of getting the device routed... and is it worth it??

please help me on this guyzz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] philage:
You dont need to be rooted to flash a new firmware, but it is wise to root your phone before flashing as you can then do a full backup of your current rom before updating. Rooting gives you a higher access level on the phone and will allow you to alter files and settings that would normaly be hidden.

My advise is to root your phone and make a full nandroid backup before flashing anything, also backup your nandroid backup to your computer for safe keeping.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
its 'rooting' by the way, this just gives you 'root' access to your phone, and superuser permissions. this will allow some apps more access over your device and allow them to do things that you wouldnt be able to do on a factory one.

like philage said its good for complete backups as well as modding, i rooted and pulled touchwiz from my device, edited the dock background image and put it back on. i also use ShootMe and Titanium Backup to name a few, these require root access on your device to be able to complete certain functions.

it has nothing to do with firmware or customs roms

Philage: - i didnt think nandroid was sorted for SGS yet? am i wrong ?

you don't even need root to do that, but that's a completely separate discussion

you do know you are on XDA forums eh?

we supports developers in this forum, not for pirating stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Google have now released an anti-piracy framework for developers to use. Don't be surprised if users with pirated software end up getting blocked from market because market could detect pirated apps if Google wanted it to do so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] callibretto:
what will google consider pirates here? I'm from Indonesia and there's no support for paid apps in my country. I've been asking how to buy paid apps and was told to root my phone and use market enabler.

I don't want to get blocked from the market if my actual purpose for rooting is to buy paid apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Firstly, this isn't confirmation it would happen (and it's unlikely). I'm just saying, that people should be cautious about doing so, if they can avoid it.

They wouldn't block you for rooting your phone (since rooting has other purposes). But if they see evidence of actual pirated software, I see no reason why they couldn't choose to block such people in the future until the software is removed.

Incredibly unlikely, but frankly, by pirating software, all you are doing is scaring away developers from the platform in the future (so you are actually depreciating the value of your own phone).

I got a full 4G signal driving from Oakland to Hayward on the 880 last week. I think it's been there for a while, but since I live in SF, it doesn't really help me much.
[EVO 4G General] mikek9:
yeah, if you check out the map of 4g coverage youll see that the bay is pretty well covered along the major highways (880 and 101) on both sides of the bay. As far as fremont goes we have it inside the city in pockets, mostly near offramps of 880. So its coming, but its neither strong nor complete as far as coverage here in fremont goes.

And as far as where the map is, i forget. Google sprint 4g map or some such im sure youll be able to find it.
[EVO 4G General] chairman_meow:
I get pretty solid 4G in downtown mountain view, and in Santa Clara it's pretty good... I have to step outside to get it at home, though.

I'm just hoping that this is the initial phase, and by the time 4g is official the coverage will be a lot more complete.
[EVO 4G General] Kama45:

[Desire General] Surfinette:
Hi developers!

Would anyone be able to develop a tweak for the Desire so that we could use the volume keys to also modify the screen brightness up and down.

I'm thinking of something like when you first press the + or - button, a pop-up appears on the screen asking you whether you want to switch to brightness control and tapping on the screen would effectively switch to brightness control, while not tapping the screen but keeping pressing on the + or - button would maintain the default volume control (so that people who do not need the brightness control would not suffer the hassle of this additional option).

I think such tweaked feature would be a great addon to our phone. I'm used to use the lowest brightness possible in order to save battery but once I go outdoor or in any bright environement, I need to rapidely increase the screen brightness without the hassle of having to go through Settings etc...

Unfortunately, I'm no developer myself :(

Surfinette
[Desire General] spooky75:
You should try Brightness Profiles
[Desire General] Gerigo-Greece:
Why dont you use power control from widgets.
[Desire General] mercianary:
So brightness can be changed without exiting apps.

A bit like in-app wifi switch (switch wifi with search button)

The dev of this app is on this forum and may be able to help.
[Desire General] Surfinette:
Yes I know, I'm already using it :D

It is the best thing I found so far for my need, but it is still not perfect!

Because when I'm using an App requiring more brightness, I still need to "quit" it go to Home, hit the Brightness Profiles widget, change the brightness and switch back to the App.

For ultimate convenience, I wish I could just use the volume control buttons so that I would never have to go back and forth off my App screen...

I'm probably too lazy :D but still, that would be a cool feature (not less useful imho than using than tweaking the trackpad to make it a power button).
[Desire General] Surfinette:
This is exactly the philosophy behind what i'm looking for... and I was thinking of using the volume keys because brightness needs to be set up and down just like volume...
[Desire General] mercianary:
I think a switch may be better. Pressing it forces 100%. Then you could use a less used key. Like holding search.

Search for in-app wifi toggle in the market and email the dev. You never know he may develop the app you want if it only involves changing a few lines in his existing app.
[Desire General] setspeed:
The way I get round this is using Bar Control to put a shortcut to Brightness Profiles in the notification window shade - so changing the brightness is only ever a drag then tap away. You never have to leave your current app at all.

Tbh though, I would rather a hardware control like the vol key - the other day I had gone outside in the bright sun, and I honestly thought my phone had switched itself off cos I couldn't see the screen well enough to perform this simple procedure.

It's pretty rubbish imho that the battery life/poor AMOLED screen tech mean we have eff around changing screen brightness manually. In fact I'd go so far as to say it's a major fault with the phone...
