The way I always saw it, a small housing (keeping the general shape of the phone) could be clipped on that would support an ffc and a flash (using a driver to integrate with the camera) and a pass-thru usb port to still charge and all. Won't hold my breath for that one..

What else do you need? I've built a couple kernels when I was looking at the FM radio. The initrd indeed took some doing to get to be appeneded to the kernel automatically, for whatever reason. Hopefully I still remember what I did :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Not much right now, unless people want the other mods as well that JAC and others are doing. He hasn't posted source, so I can't include those. The big problem I had with most of the source I could find was bootlooping. The ramdisk has to be just so to work right, and it's hard to diagnose when it doesn't decide to work. I'm thinking I'll work from Unhelpful's stuff for now, as it seems to work well.

I think I need to get my head around git and get proper version control working next. :)

there has been a recently released PSFreedom rom which allows you to hack the PS3 and run homebrew and play backups on your console, there are limited ways to do it at this moment but one way it can be done is by using a android phone to flash the rom. If a Dev would be kind enough to cook this rom for the HD2 it will be FREEKIN SWEET! :D

Hey guys just got my x10 and was wondering how do i install an app that i downloaded on PC?

also, when in the dialpad, is it possible to type the name of the contact that i want to call instead of dialing the number or going to contacts?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRoZIV:
Copy the file to your sd card via usb then install using a file explorer. If the app is on market, connect your phone to internet (wifi if possible) and download directly to phone.

In dialpad just numbers, go to phone book and type the name, is just one touch away :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
Or easier is to download "awesome drop" to get the apk's on your phone and install from there directly. No cables, no searching in file explorer.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saepaan:
Hey,

(I tried searching for similar threads, but "charging" and "desire" gives me billions of results)

I have quite a sticky situation on my hands. Last night when I were to check my phone for messages, it was turned off. I grabbed my charger with the AC adapter and plugged it in. Voilà, amber led is turned on. I waited a while as I went off to grab food and that sorts, returned and turned it on. No problem so far. Small digression: I even got those messages I expected, hooorah!

Anyways, after a couple of hours I returned to my phone to check additional messages but then again, it was turned off. Even though it was hooked up to the AC adapter. I mean, the amber led is turned on and even the battery animation in the status bar when charged is doing its thing.

So I started trying to figure out what it is, but nothing have helped the slightest bit so far. I tried flashing different radios and roms but the problem seem to stick.

What's odd is that it allows charging sometimes, but it takes a long while. I have yet to find out the reason for it, but my doubts are that currently the phone needs to be off.

So far I think it could be a faulty USB cable that may cause the problem, but even though how obnoxiously stupid it may be, I turn my ears to you guys.

Thanks in advance.

TL;DR:

The phone isn't charging even though it's hooked up to the ac adapter and both amber led and animation in the status bar is indicating it's charging.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzdcoy:
first things first,

search xda-developers re: USB brick. does it fit the symptoms?

do you have access to a different usb cable? does it charge better from this one?

will it charge quicker on on (for instance) your computer, compared to the wall charger?

is the charger an official charger or a third party one? if its a third party, no name brand one, chances are its crap. I bought a 1000mA rated car charger and one of the components won't let more than 100mA through.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saepaan:
Greetings, nzdcoy. Thanks for quick answer.

Let's see. As far as I can tell, USB brick symptoms sounds like you're unable to connect your phone using USB when booted into Android and/or custom boot/recovery. I have yet to try this, but I also read that they were able to charge the phone without problems. However, I'll give this a try seeing as it won't hurt.

I'm afraid I do not have access to another USB as these "micro" USB cables aren't that widespread. Or, at least I don't have leftovers as I do for regular USB cables.

It's hard to tell if it charges faster for whether possibilities as it doesn't charge at all if it's on. The amber led is lit, but the battery percentage still drops. I've only relied on the wall charger as I know it supports more amper than its PC counterpart. But yet again, I should try the USB brick fix. Hopefully it'll work.

Both the charger and the cable is stock, so I don't think it could be shabby third party components.

I'm also suspicious to if it can be the battery that's blasted. I've measured the voltage and it seems to be fine, so I don't know for sure. Maybe it's bad because it takes ages for it to charge? I don't have an external power supply, so I can't test this for sure though.

Anyhow, thanks nzdcoy for giving me some directions to what it could be.

Edit: Tried hooking up the phone to the computer, and I had access to the SD card. I suppose that's not a USB brick then?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzdcoy:
at least it isn't a USB brick.

Does it positively charge when plugged into the PC? Unless you are using GPS or you are using a USB1.1 port, your PC should still charge it positively.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saepaan:
Yes, thankfully.

I've somehow found a method to charge the darned phone. And I could almost conclude it's a bad connection between the wire and the phone. I think the socket on the phone is damaged. Worst part is, is that it comes and goes. One day it could work swimmingly and charge in whatever position, the other day it requires one certain position to charge anything at all.

My Desire works in strange ways. o.O

Thanks for the help so far, nzdcoy!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecloudenback:
I've seen references to it elsewhere on XDA and elsewhere, but cannot seem to find that setting on my Incredible.

Ideally, I would like to be able to toggle the brightness manually, but then also quickly switch it back to autobrightness when I want to.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsP:
Try add > Widget > Power control

The right one toggles through brightness
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMBosstones86:
+1, although i don't believe it has control for 'auto' brightness, still have to do that manually
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsP:
I just came back to say that. It just cycles through low to high
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
I believe cyanogen incorporates auto brightness into the power control.. unless it was some other ROM that put it on my phone :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cambunch:
Assuming you have >v4.0 of Extended Controls, add a widget with the brightness toggle. Under the settings for brightness, use a Custom Brightness Type, and check Auto Brightness. Now you can toggle through various levels, including Auto.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dihuta:
Hello,

I have an very first US Dell Streak. It don't have "Upgrade from sd .pkg", I turn it on with Vol UP + Vol Down but nothing happen. If I turn on it with the Camera key it will go to a menu with some Options. There is an option "Download from SD", but It doesn't recognize .pkg file which stored in my card (update.pkg or other name.pkg) so I can't flash the Rom.

I can go to Fastboot mode by turn on it with Vol Down button.

Please help me flash rom on this device.

Thank you.
[Streak 5 Android Development] JoeJonnyBoy75:
If you can get to fastboot. The following should fix your Streak.

Download the stock recovery for your rom 2.1 or 1.6. They are posted all over the place. Should come in a img format. Then run the following fast boot command.

Fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery "stock recovery.img"

Fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Then hold down what ever button combo gets you into the recovery mode. Attempt recovery from your update.pkg.

Good luck.
[Streak 5 Android Development] almostinsane:
I believe it needs to be 'Update.pkg' with an uppercase U.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dihuta:
Thank you.

I will try these tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
Right, so I've been a long time lurker on this site, and I've finally hit a brick wall.

The new CM Rom absolutely will NOT work on my Mytouch 3g, it only goes to the splash screen for hours on end. I've tried Wiping everything with clockwork recovery for a fresh install, I've tried installing over past versions, and nothing.

Any help is GREATLY, no seriously, GREATLY appreciated.

Attached is the only logcat i can get from it. Not much there though..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Have you unrooted and started over? I was able to get CM6 running on my phone, although it ran like ****, but I suspect that's because I hadn't done as complete a wipe as I thought.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
Unrooting is the ONLY thing I haven't tried. I ended up just using the RC3 build. Though....all the 6.0.0 RC1,2,3 builds for me are all battery drainers...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tukang PDA:
Same with me! but mine is 32A htc magic. how about ask cyanogen about this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
Umm...I'm sure someone has had this issue, and had it resolved, all it will take is for them to post. I don't want to bother with cyanogen. He's much above my prowess.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Have you posted your question on the CyanogenMod Forum?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
Yes I did.

As you can see, no replies.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Why not try that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
Lol I'm a high school student, attending some college classes, plus I'm in marching band. And my labor day weekend just ended, so my phone shenanigans will have to cease for now until I have free time.

Also, I'm thinking of dropping the mytouch 3g. Not enough RAM for me, I may upgrade to the headphone jack mytouch, or the slide. Which BOTH have more RAM.

EDIT: AND, my contract expires soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
I'm in the same boat except I'm a working professional, going to school part time. Also sorta looking at the slide, but really would rather hold out for the G2. :D

Honestly, I just unrooted completely then used Universal Androot so I could install setcpu. I didn't even install a custom recovery or flash any other ROMs, just staying all OEM this time. I've been really happy so far. It's stable and runs better than stock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
You're on a G1 though, right? In your case it would probably be worth it to try Dwang or SuperD, just so you could have the Navi. The ONLY reason I originally rooted in the first place was to overclock, since I already had Navi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
Nope, I'm on a MyTouch 3g. 32B. The first gen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Just like me. Yeah, then do what I did and try it out. It's definitely not as fun as having Eclair on your phone, but it's reliable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
I think I may just stick to RC3 for now, my contract is almost up, and it's pretty quick(still laggy). If I continue to have problems though, that'll definitely be what I do Phateless. I really wanted to try out the 6.0.0 DS though. lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cezegg:
you may be running the wrong radio... i'm not 100% sure, 'cause i'm still new to this rom stuff.

my radio is 3.22.26.17, and i run cyanogen just fine...

have you ever switched your radio from the e911 radio...?

EDIT: realized you aren't on rogers.. lol

do you have the right radio?

have you tried wiping and installing again...?

flashing in the proper order? (cyanogen, kernel, gapps)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ira787:
As far as I know I'm on the right radio...

Huh...I'm actually on the non-US radio, would that affect anything? So far, that's the only thing I would think would mess up my cm6 installation. But I can't flash the new radio...

So I upgraded to 2.2 recently and got root back. AppBrain however says there is a Flash Player update but I am not able to find it in Market.

Do you see Flash Player with your Froyo Incredible?

No I think they block it for the Incredible (I guess since it is a plugin on this phone). My girlfriends Droid sees it though; its an app for Moto phones (not plugin).

IMAP has Push and Poll, POP only has Poll, not sure about Exchange. K9 does exchange, I assume if there's no options it defaults to Push but you might ask them in their own forums.

Widget, no..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
Hello guys,

I installed K9 on my Android ICS on i9100, setup an Yahoo account and didn't found any way to make it Push my email, on Pull/poll at specified intervals (1, 5 ,10min, etc).

I'm looking under Account Settings/Fetching email and the only setting related is "Folder poll frequency".

Am I doing something wrong because the k9 Market page says "K-9 Mail is an open-source e-mail client with search,

IMAP push email

, multi-folder sync, flagging, filing, signatures, bcc-self, PGP, mail on SD & more!"

My yahoo account has an IMAP server setup, not POP so we can exclude this incompatibility.

As a default behavior, k9 only doesn't have a polling interval setup, I have to manually check for new email.

So, does Push email works on k9 email client?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcogger:
I've had IMAP push working on K9, although not with a Yahoo email account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdusen:
IMAP Push relies on the IMAP server you connect to support the IDLE extension. AOL Mail does, gmail does, but Yahoo does not.

Anyone try using a PPTP VPN and get it working? My linux laptop and old iphone 3g connect fine to this end point, but the Epic fails almost immediately. Ideas?

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Actually, I tried this myself and had it fail as well (although I couldn't test it with another client ie my laptop at the time). I've also had many other problems getting more than a few other applications to connect: (see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775836)

I'm seriously thinking there is some firewalling/port blocking that was built into this phone. I wouldn't say it's built into the networks because both sprint and clear connections exhibit exact same applications not working (ports blocked?) and thus I'd guess port blocking in the config files of the phone. I'll research the issue more in depth after I get my phone exchanged first (gotta take it back and rebuy it to get my 2 year discount :\ don't wanna root before)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blither:
I was wondering if it is possible to load a kernel module from an application using jni as is done in hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c

The main issue I see is that this would probably require the application/user to have root. I am trying to find if this is in fact the case.

If one does need root to do such an activity, is there any other way to hook netfilter? I am not trying to work on tethering, in case people are wondering.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mjki2cp2:
Hi, despite using JNI, you will still need root to insmod the kernel module.

I have quite a bit of experience with Netfilter and LKM development, what is it you're trying to do precisely?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blither:
I am more interested in developing a firewall/application monitor, because I have an Incredible and after the update I was a little upset by all of the applications that a) get loaded and b) start up from boot and finally c) stay loaded and wont ever close. But if I am unable to do this without root it is kind of a worthless application for the average person. It could still be beneficial for root users to see who is connecting to the web at any given time and monitor which applications use it or setup rules like block everyone but who one would like to allow the ability to access the outside world.

Thanks for the reply though.
