Im having the same issue

I also removed some of the bloat and when my OTA update failed I reinstalled all of it from the system dump found in another thread on this forum (it won't let me post a link). I checked all my permissions and made sure they were 644 but my update is still failing on Mynet.apk. I have checked it; it is there and its permissions are 644. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
[Droid 2 Android Development] RammiKan:
You could always just flash back to the stock system with the .sbf released in "The Bomb" you probably used to root. Once you do that youve lost root but back to stock then do the OTA update, re-root, and also have your bloat back... Its a little lengthy but Google and your sd card have most everything backed up for you anyway.

Is system dump the 128MB file off of rapidshare?

I have the SBF. I am just not sure how to flash it back onto my phone. I really don't have that much stuff. I've only installed a few programs. Not a big deal.
[Droid 2 Android Development] cryptkpr:
Yes that's the one I used to restore my apk's but its still hanging on Mynet.apk
[Droid 2 Android Development] darkonion:
I think that's the one I need to reinstall...
[Droid 2 Android Development] darkonion:
Still having trouble figuring out how to install mynet.apk. I downloaded the file, but I am unsure what to do now.
[Droid 2 Android Development] karnovaran:
You have to use adb to install system apps. So, something like:

- put Mynet.apk in your sdk tools folder

- Open command prompt

- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is

- adb devices (to verify the connection)

- adb remount

- adb push Mynet.apk /system/app/Mynet.apk

- adb remount
[Droid 2 Android Development] bbianchi:
As a note, I updated to 2.2.20 with root but without removing apps.

If you do use the snf from The Bomb, what is that other file out of curiosity?
[Droid 2 Android Development] darkonion:
Thanks Karnovaran.

Is there anything I need to do with the opek file? I followed your steps generally and I am still not getting anything.

So... I followed your directions. I put Mynet.apk in the folder. Ran ADB, copied the file to the sdcard. Mounted. Ran rageagainstthecage. Copied the Mynet.apk to the apps folder on the system. Same with the odex file, and remounted, and exited, but still nothing...

I was able to flash my phone using the files from the RootzWiki bomb. Flashed it successfully. Now it doesn't have a connection to the Verizon network. No data service. Not sure about phone service though.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ITGuy11:
You probably need to dial *22899 from your phone before it will get back on the Verizon network.
[Droid 2 Android Development] pc747:
Does the ota contain something that is really needed. I am debating if I want to unroot just for the ota. Hopefully some one figure away to give us an update that remains rooted.

DROID 2 Receiving Minor Update, Now Allows for User Initiation

On 08.21.10, In News, by Kellex

Share3

If you own a Droid 2, you should be receiving a minor update over the next couple of days and in fact, there is a pretty good chance that you have already been prompted to install it. The update, although minor, does fix a couple of things which will enhance your D2 experience…

Improvements:

+ Enabled text and picture message scrolling.

+ Streamlined set up of Visual Voice Mail feature.

+ Improved contact sync with Corporate Exchange categories

and groups.

+ View accurate contact pictures when reviewing Recent Call Log.

On a related note, it looks like Verizon may be allowing user initiated updates for their new Droid family member. If you check out their update installation instructions, there are now 2 types of software loading: user initiated and server initiated. We also just received this shot which shows that manual updates could start as early as last night, and OTA server initiated updates will start on the 24th if users have not already gone through the process…

After the update you will be running version 2.2.20.en.us.

Via: Verizon Wireless

Cheers Mitch and Shawn!
[Droid 2 Android Development] karnovaran:
2.2.20 is root-able, so if you really want it you can do the sbf flash and grab the update before rooting. I don't think we'll be seeing any custom updates for the D2. Let's just thank our lucky stars the sbf showed up.
[Droid 2 Android Development] darkonion:
Darn, wish I knew that before I factory resetted my phone. Do you know this for a fact?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Yes a factory reset is necessary...I just flashed my phone this morning with the sbf and I connected to verizon network but it would not connect to any data connection 3g or 1x, nothing so a factory reset took place and it works almost better than before for some reason lol..my internet connection seems to be more stable and reception is a little better and I've done* 22899 before I rooted and flashed back and this time around its just working better idk..but back to the topic at hand if u* 22899 it will connect you to verizon network but no 3g or anything
[Droid 2 Android Development] darkonion:
Did you try *228? Maybe might have been a better way to go. But thank you for trying.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
If you can't update or anything flash an sbf. Isn't hard.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kageurufu:
If you are rooted and need to sbf, I used the droid bootstrap recovery to wipe my cache and data, then flashed the sbf from the bootloader (turn the phone all the way off, and hold the up arrow as you power on). Made it a lot easier, and fixed all the errors I was having
[Droid 2 Android Development] grimmy311:
I just renamed all my .apks to .bak that I didnt want running, renamed them back and ran the update, although renaming all of them back and forth is terrible
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandarebr:
I know that there is some carriers that charge extra if you are using your mobile phone internet (AP) to acess internet from a computer/notebook?

I have heard that some carriers charges extra if you share you internet with a computer by tethering, but I would like to know if my carrier cab detect that I'm sharing internet using the AP feature instead of tethering. Does my carrer can detect when I'm using the phone as AP? Will they charge me extra for this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
usually Carriers that do that, will have separate APN for each type of devices

chances are they will not know
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandarebr:
I was wondering that. If I use the phone as a modem, I have to make a dialup connection (or a similar connection) that the Carrier can detect. But If the Access point process is handled by the phone itself (the phone that will give IP address for each device) I wonder if the carrier will able to detect it.

Like using a router: My broadband provider doesn't know if I have a router or how many devices I have connected to this router. They only know that one device is using one IP address. I don't think they can see anything else beyond that, aside from the fact that they will be receiving several http requests at the same time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
exactly

if you are unsure, just try it this month, and see the bill at the end of the month to see if they charge you anything extra

use a program like http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.aob.android.mnm

then you have an idea of how much data you used, and can compare at the end of the month when you cell phone bill arrives.

if you have a low monthly limit say 512 MB or 1 GB

then use this one http://www.appbrain.com/app/net.rgruet.android.g3watchdog

it gives you good warning

Easier just to call them but not give info
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

you do that, it will raise the flag in your account, then they will charge you extra

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I remember when the telcos would disable teether in roms until you play for it. Then why does sgs have the apps enabled if you can't use it. So they charge you later? I would cry foul if they charged me after i used it and say if they didn't want me to use it then why leave it in rom

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Can someone explain to a newbie, does it do your HD2 any harm having it get so warm sometimes while running.

I've been trying a few roms lately some i like and some that dont have the features i'm looking for, one of the roms i did really like made my HD2 run much hotter than some of the others, i presume this is the processor thats getting hot (its hot below the battery at the bottom of the phone) and i also presume this means that battery consumption would be higher while that happens ?

My real curiosity though is why does that happen with some roms and not others again i presume its setup and programming (i run the same programs etc on all the roms), so does it mean that my HD2 running hot actually is a good thing its good coding thats getting the most out of the HD2 and making it work when it should, or does a rom that performs the same function without the HD2 getting warm have better coding ?

Sorry if its a proper numpty question just trying to understand a few things, i deliberatly haven't mentioned any roms as i'm sure different people have different views on things the Rom in my signature i've settled on and for me does everything i want...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnerz:
When its working hard, it will get warm and thats normal, when its idle it should be cool,

Its worth checking in your Task Manager to see whats running
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souljaboy:
ull love it when its winter in a few months
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Yeah i gathered that, there has been nothing running that will show up on the task manager, just wondered why on some roms the HD2 runs warmer than others and if its actually better it runs warmer or cooler...

My point being i do the same thing with the different roms i've tried, i keep everything off gps, wifi etc until needed and try to close down everything properly after i've used it, yet some roms definatly run warmer than others doing the same processes, just wondered if its an issue or not really or doesn't it make that much difference...

While idle all the roms i've tried the phone is cold, yet some get warm pretty quickly for example browsing on the internet, while others the phone warms but doesn't get so hot...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa49:
Battery management optimisation is criticalfor on all ROMs and some are better than others. If you try a minimal ROM you will see what I mean. G Lewarnes on the Clearex post is quite brilliant. Fast, battery friendly and works well with ANDROID!

Also try any ROM you use with sense turned off.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
as for the battery temperature in itself, as long as your HD2 does not suffer from overheating related reset-loop, there nothing to worry about,

you can monitor the temp it with BattClock, on my device it never exceeded 40C
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axman79:
I've bought an HD2 in April this year. After 1 month (maybe because custom ROMs that I've flashed - LEON3 and CLEANEX) it got hot (not warmer) and I could not use it more than 2 min (it was restarting just after loading the OS and Sense).

At repair shop they told me that the motherboard is faulty and needs to be changed.

Now, I've bought another HD2. I'm still using the stock ROM and I can say that it gets warmer (not hot) after intensive use.

Is it possible to damage it by flashing custom ROMs?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLO:
I use Batt Clock to monitor my HD2's (we have 2 of them) when its cooking it often freezes. My one just came back from service and all they did was flash the latest rom (which i did the week before myself anyway) and within 10 minutes of leaving the store during config, it went into boot cycle again (:mad:) so its going back again.

The HD2 is an awesome device and for me is still better than the Android and WM7 offerings.

Mine would lock up when it got over 30c, and blowing into the headphone jack or putting it into the fridge for 10 mins would help it boot up, but wouldnt stop it from freezing after light/moderate use.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobgod:
Can someone tell me if I use Google does it take away from my mins bc I still have to use my line to call Google and rate plan was changed so I do need to make some free calls

SENT FROM THE EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kufer:
2 part answer.

Call forwarding is free with I'm pretty sure all EVO plans on sprint, therefore using the google voice app for voicemail uses data and is free. ( you have to dial *28-your google voice number to set it up).

Using google voice to place calls (I call canada for free daily on it), definitely uses minutes unless... You get Sprint to give you " 3 free numbers / landlines" to call and them you don't accrue minutes for those (home, work etc...). You then just make one of your free numbers your google voice number and then all calls placed through google voice will be free too (no minute accrual).

The only problem is that last time I called customer retention, they said they were no longer offering that option (vs. Verizon, att and others that I believe still do -not confirmed)

Either way, GV is a great low cost way to call international from your cell
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenOfTOM:
Sprint does offer an option called "Sprint To Home" which lets you pick 1 number to call unlimited. It costs $5 extra a month. Also, when you sign up (you have to call customer service) they tell you that you cannot use it with any service that will allow you to re-route your calls (i.e. Google Voice). Of course, I don't think they actually check on the number you provide them, but I'm sure if all your calls came to/from this number and you were using 1000 minutes a month, a red flag is going to go off somewhere.

Basically, stop trying to cheat the system. If you need a ton of minutes, get the Unlimited plan.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobgod:
Lol Google number is always different when u place a call so I guess my answer is no can't be done

SENT FROM THE EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodelyfe:
google voice is using data. as long as you have unlimited data you can do away with using minutes too much if that is your issue. so yes it will say you minutes because its using your mobile data and google voice gives you free calls anywhere in the us and only 10cents a min internation

hope that helps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kufer:
OK - 2 different issues

GV for the voicemail is using data and therefore unlimited.

Phone/Voice calls do not use data, they use minutes. The GV dialer dials an access number (which changes every few months) to place calls and therefore it DOES use minutes. The changing access number makes it generally impractical to change one of your "pick 5 / Favorite number" every few months.

But it can be done.

use the following format to add a telephone number in each contact that you want to use for GV (ie international)

you GV number,,your pin,,2,,the number you want to dial#

the "," is for a 2 second pause (depending which ROM you are using, it sometimes needs to be a "p")

the "#" tells GV that you are done with the number and place the call.

albeit labor intensive to setup, but it works I do it every day.

Also last point,

GV is NOT 10 cents/ min all international

as mentioned Canada is free (which is why I use this method even without the saving minutes issue)

the rates are VOIP like and can be found by logging into your google voice account and looking up "Rates"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Isn't Google Voice just VOIP?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kufer:
Yes.

For obvious reasons integrates well with android and there is no access fee.

Just add money through your google checkout acct and you are golden!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
You don't even need to add money unless you're making international calls.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] antoschka2:
Hello all. Its possible to do for x1 that, screen to do off by call with lightsensor?????? i saw that by nokia and samsung.

Thx
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] damonous:
While I am not a developer, and I can't say for certain if it's possible due to hardware limitations on X1... I have done a LOT of things with my X1 since Dec 2008 (incl installing custom ROMs), and I don't think that's possible.

Someone came up with an app once ("Touch InCall Screen Tweak" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488991) that was somehow supposed to do that for HTC devices, but it didn't work for me on the X1.

You can try it out; I may have done something wrong way back when. The guy who wrote it says it worked on his HTC Touch Pro, and the X1 is essentially a customized HTC TP.

One thing I can confirm for you: the Xperia X2 comes with this feature (native, at least in the latest firmware). It's really a nice device that's received an unfair rap.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] shakeel_jee7:
Dear antoschka2,

Screen off on call works by the use of "Proximity" sensor, which detects that, the Mobile is near to the person's face, it turns off the screen.

Light sensor is for other perpose, it detects that, when surroundings light in the Room etc, is Dim, it also Dims the screen light, it is also called Ambiant sensor.

Regards,
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Wurmzz:
I think it may be possible since when you have your phone need your ear, your head will be covering the light therefore the phone will know it should turn off the light. Although this may not always be accurate.

[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
These are the steps to boot your Droid 2 phone into Recovery Mode should you need to.

1. Turn Droid 2 Off

2. Press 'X' on the physical keyboard and then Press and HOLD Power button until the Exclamation Point/Android picture shows(after motorola symbol).

3. To access menu options Press the "Search" button depicted by the Magnifying glass on the Keyboard and the menu items will show up.

4. Browse options with the Volume Up and Volume Down keys and select option with the Camera button all on side.

5. Select first option of "Reboot phone" or risk messing up your brand new Droid 2!

I can add a picture if someone requests it (any ideas of how to best take said picture?) I'm new the the forum so if this post is in the wrong place and/or someone else had provided the info just let me know. (I looked but you can never be too sure.)

[Droid 2 General] dragoniusFUZE:
Thanks for this info, it's very helpful... I also learned that to get into bootloader manually, power on the phone and hold the Keyboard UP key. :)
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Nice to know.

Also, 'Safe Mode' (for killing third party apps stuck in force close loop at start up) is Power On and hold the Soft "Menu" (the four squares).

Another little tip.
[Droid 2 General] Archangel:
I am assuming that if you have clockwork recovery it will boot into that correct?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
I can only assume that also, I'm new to android hacking so from what I've read I think so but I'm not sure.

I'm sure a more experienced member could confirm.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
This doesn't boot into clockwork at least on the D2. I tried it with koush's bootstrap installed and it just boots into the stock recovery. I might try to do it again just to confirm.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
i have found to boot into boorstrap recovery is pull the battery out for a few seconds then power the phone on. I realized that whenever my phone died and i charged it and turned it back on it would always boot to clockwork
[Droid 2 General] Archangel:
I don't know if it does it every time but when i hold my volume down rocker and the power button it boots into clockwork, give it a try
[Droid 2 General] 1454:
Sorry for the stupid question, but why do I need to do this? I'm new to Droid. Also, will this delete my data?
