[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
Why do you need to unroot so badly and what is preventing you?

So any other advantages of rooting apart from increasing internal memory? For stability and productivity, what ROMs are recommend? Is class two Sandisk ok for app2sd+? Can the ext3 partition be backed up or copied to another card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoemeistah:
There is a rooting guide here on xda aswell with unrevoked, very easy.

As for which ROM, personally I took AuraxT 2.2 sense ROM and modified it to my needs.

Hey all,

This is the issue i am having. Happens on some other phones too.

Active sync setup to our exchange server, emails/contacts/calendar come in fine.

Made some changes to the calendar on the phone (updated notes in calendar entries) and they have not shown up in exchange/outlook.

They are still edited on the pda but not on exchange/outlook. Tried doing a force sync and it completes successfully with no errors.

This is frustrating cause it happens fairly often (easily 4 times a month) and then we loose data cause it has not come through.

Any ideas? Or is there an alternative to activesync for windows mobile?

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SyNRGz:
I had something similar. Turn off WiFi before you SYNC. That was my issue and I don't know why at this time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] partyboynx2:
Hello, I was looking for a new ROM for my T-Mobile Branded Touch Pro 2, which is unlocked and running on the Simple Mobile network instead of T-Mobile, and currently running the T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6.5 Official ROM.

The main concerns I am having while looking for a ROM is:

T-Mobile has the MMS Settings locked, so I am unable to send MMS while using my Simple Mobile SIM Card in it. I am a social networking junkee, and constantly send pictures to Facebook right after taking them, and don't like wasting time opening the Facebook App to upload them. So picture messaging is a must for both sending and receiving.

Another thing, I love the HTC Sense with TouchFlo 3D, it makes everything a lot easier for me to navigate to, and I don't like the feel of the original Windows Mobile today screen.

Is there a ROM out there that covers both of these? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm kinda new to the site, not really sure how to navigate to ROMs, and not really sure where to look for ROMs that cover the things I am looking for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
MMS: Most, if not all, custom ROMs here (make sure to flash the GSM HardSPL and GSM ROMs!) unlock the MMS settings screen (it can also be done via a registry edit). Here is a thread with MMS fixes to apply (I'm guessing this should be done after flash a ROM or unlocking the settings screen with a reg-edit).

Registry edit:

1. Download a Registry Editor like this.

2. Open the editor and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI.

3. Change the value of the key EnableServerEdit from 0 to 1.

4. Soft reset (turn off then turn on the phone OR just press the red reset hole on the right side of the device).

5. Go to Messages Tab > All Messages > Menu > MMS Options... > Servers Tab > T-Mobile MMS.

6. Change the settings to make it compatible with your provider.

Most ROMs also have Sense UI cooked in. Now, if you still want fluidity, get a ROM with Sense 2.1 (I think the EnergyROMs have a Sense2.1 variant). If you want quicklinks in your homescreen (like the HD2) but are willing to sacrifice some speed, get a ROM with Sense 2.5 cooked in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] partyboynx2:
Thank you very much, MMS is now functioning correctly.

I have one question about flashing new ROMs, I might have missed it, or just can't find it on the Hard-SPL post. If I were to flash Hard-SPL, then flash a ROM, but I decide I want to stick with the original T-Mobile 6.5 ROM (I have the ROM install file on my PC still) would I be able to flash back to the T-Mobile ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
You're welcome.:)

Yes, you can flash back to the stock T-Mobile ROM, just as long as you have access to it. With HardSPL on your phone, you can actually flash any GSM Rhodium ROM, stock or custom. In the event you need to return your phone, you will also need to restore the StockSPL after flashing back the stock ROM.

I've noticed that the su binary installed by superuser doesn't survive a reboot. Anyone else have this problem? Any fixes?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Same here. Have to re update after each reboot
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vavaud:
same here, had to update the binary too
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
How do you update the su?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangdang:
Launch superuser, go to settings and scroll to the bottom.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangdang:
I've found 3 su:

/system/bin/jk-su (original from the oneclick/permanent)

/system/xbin/su (symlink to /sdx/su)

/sdx/su (superuser updates this one)

Superuser does not update /system/bin/jk-su so I decided to.

So far its working.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjmjr69:
How did you update it yourself?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangdang:
Here's what worked for me. Keep in mind I am rooted using oneclick 2.2.4 which comes with busybox and remount scripts.

1. Update the su binary using superuser.

2. Launch a terminal (I use better terminal emulator pro)

3. Run 'su' from the terminal

4. Mount system rw with 'remount rw'

5. Remove jk-su with 'rm /system/bin/jk-su'

6. Copy the su binary superuser installed with 'cp /sdx/su /system/bin/jk-su'

7. Reboot and it should survive.

Notes:

Do not include single quotes when running the commands.

I'm paranoid about permissions so as root in terminal I ran:

chown root.shell /system/bin/jk-su

chmod 755 /system/bin/jk-su

To match the permissions of the removed jk-su. I'm not sure if this was necessary.

I haven't tested using adb yet so I don't know the steps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vavaud:
#cp /sdx/su /system/bin/jk-su
cp: not found

the last part does not work (i have the same root method)

i have to re-root the phone when i get home today. but i will try to move the updated binary with root explorer instead of the command line.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangdang:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamienWind:
I have this exact same problem on my Samsung Moment (have to update SU every reboot).

The directory structure seem a bit different. For example, there's no /system/bin/jk-su (in fact, if I find / -name 'jk-su' I get no results at all).

I am poking around the directory structure trying to figure out where to find the source and destination su files that I'm going to have to overwrite and I can't seem to figure which is which. Does anyone have any idea how to do the functional equivalent of dangdang's post on a Moment?

Thanks! :)

[Galaxy Tab General] derichio02:
I am very interested in the galaxy tab but I am wondering if it makes and receives calls on the carrier networks, namely verizon. I am one of the people who will lug the tablet around as my main phone. I see the phone app on the pictures around the net but I have yet to see it stated anywhere.
[Galaxy Tab General] PremiumReview:
You will be sad to know the for the North American Tab the Phone/ Voice has bin removed from the list of options thats is being shipped from from Samsung. In the press conference today they stated that.
[Galaxy Tab General] ConceptVBS:
If they kept the microphone, this is Dev worthy.
[Galaxy Tab General] unitea:
no joke! i hope someone can get ahold of one of these ASAP and take it apart to see if it has the hardware.
[Galaxy Tab General] joeld82:
I read somwhere that you just have to have a bluetooth or regular headset.
[Galaxy Tab General] Knocturnal:
I'm hoping this is just a software thing for having the phone feature disabled on the US version of the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] cantIntoCode:
Imagine the looks you would get holding a 7inch tablet to your ear? LOL. Well a wireless headset or a set of earphones is in serious need. Hopefully the devs here can sort something out if the tab has the hardware for it.
[Galaxy Tab General] AllGamer:
it does have 3G voice and data hardware

[Galaxy Tab General] no6969el:
Well that is awesome then, I will go back to the idea of me wanting one again... Ill use my g1 until a modded rom comes out if one isnt out by the time it releases stateside...

I dont plan on holding it to my head during a call even though I might just to be funny..lol.. i barely use my phone (for voice calls) which is why im so concerned with merging it into my tablet because it would be just an app for me... which is the way I like it.
[Galaxy Tab General] diskmuncher:
Every review I've read of the US-based versions of the Galaxy Tab (for AT&T/Verizon/Sprint) has said that the Tab will NOT work as a phone.

(sorry, newbie post so I can't post full URL...endgaget has the story)

Skype and other VOIP services work, but not regular EDGE/3G phone calls. Combined with the so-far announced pricing from the major carriers absolutely kills any desire for a Tab vs. either an iPad or a Dell Streak. I'm hopiing that some vendor will make a 7-9" tablet/phone combination in the near future.
[Galaxy Tab General] zyborg:
That's the American version of the GT. The European and Asian GT DOES HAVE calling/3G functionality. :)
[Galaxy Tab General] brucewilsonpa:
So, if I understand this correctly (?) unlike the iPad where it's 3G cannot use voice but only data, the G-Tab Euro version can connect via voice and make calls, but the US version cannot.... Does this mean the US (north American) model lacks the hardware? I am asking because the voice calling is important to me and I have ordered an unlocked US version but maybe I should go for the Euro version?
[Galaxy Tab General] copualt3:
Euro tab - no 3g in USA but it has voice capability

Has tab - data and sms/mms and no voice capability

Pick your poison muchachos.

I am personally think about the Sprint version with 2gb/m for 399.99 and 29.99/m.
[Galaxy Tab General] dboppc130:
Why wont the Euro version have 3g? The unlocked Euro version from cellhut and Negrielectronics have everything we need. Should just pop in my AT&T SIM and off I go.

cellhut.com/Samsung-P1000-Galaxy-Tab-Unlocked-Quadband-GSM-Cell-Phone-Reviews-29956
[Galaxy Tab General] ktmdavid229:
If the tab has 3g radios, wouldn't there be a way to transfer voice over it? Of course some hacking would be needed, but i'm sure there is a way. If not, couldn't one just tether to the tab with a phone and then use that to make calls over a "wifi" signal?
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
To answer to the two previous posts:

Unless the Tab has the ability to change 3G bands (Like its cousins phones from Samsung line), the European version won't be able to have 3G over AT&T (Maybe T-Mobile if I recall well, not sure). However some other versions may be able to do so (The version from Telstra should have the right radio for instance and hopefully voice calls enabled)

Then... hopefully we may not be limited to VoIP on the US Tabs... I hope Samsung didn't really castrate the Tabs here and limitation is just a Software limitation. Just flashing the right Firmware / ROM could restore this function (But then you'll need a different plan than the one your carrier will let you subscribe)

All in all my plan (and hope) is we'll be able to enable the voice calls on the US versions. I'll buy it with no plan and will switch it with my TP2. If not... Then I'll be looking for a version elsewhere in the world that has the proper 3G bands and voice enabled
[Galaxy Tab General] brucewilsonpa:
That's my thought as well. I purchased the HTC HD2 and used it w/o problem on ATT for more than a year even tho ATT never did specifically support it (which meant I could only get Edge speed - but the GT has 1900 UMTS and the full range of ATT voice GSM freq so it should work OK.
[Galaxy Tab General] snudel:
i bought the tab in germany and calling even without headset is very good.

the speaker quality is very good. makes it a brilliant conference phone
[Galaxy Tab General] jay_jay_n:
I seriously hope that the it is just a software lock because buying a the overseas version vs the u.s. Is a huge price difference , looking at the frequencies of tmobile u.s.a will the overseas version work on 3G here even though tmobile is 1700/2100 ?
[Galaxy Tab General] ManaKill:
When I use aDialer I press # and the number I try to call and it cuts off music and for a second a call icon pops up like something is trying to make a call then ends. If I dont hit # first then it doesn't even try to make the call
[Galaxy Tab General] ManaKill:
System/app/HiddenMenu.apk seems promising. It has korea mode, phoneutil, mms, port scan, terminal and some misc.. Not sure how to get it loaded though.
[Galaxy Tab General] leginag:
I bought mine a couple of days ago (Australia Telstra version), and it works great as a phone, however, you really need to use the handsfree or get a bluetooth headset (which I plan to do), as it is a bit awkward to use the tab itself.

The Galaxy Tab I have is HSDPA 850/1900/2100Mhz (as well as being GPRS 850/900/1800/1900), so depending on your carrier in the States, it should work fine. From memory, doesn't AT&T use 850Mhz for their 3G?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abuthemagician:
Now I know that not many people want to void their warranties completely by opening up their phone, but does anyone think it would be possible to add an external antenna from a wireless router? Would it even do anything for the phone? I know that it already has an sma connector inside, and I might be willing to try it if I can get my phone apart without ATT knowing I opened it...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredc74:
The antenna connector that i think you are talking about is accessable by just removing the battery cover. And that connector is not sma. It looks more akin to the style that is used on internal laptop wireless cards. Im not sure what the designation is for that style, but its definately not sma. As far as the question of will it help, it would depend on the antenna type that is used. Your suggestion of a router antenna would not be ideal. Routers work on 2.4 or 5 GHz and their antennas would be cut for that wavelength, not ideal for a device that works around 800 to 1900 mhz. A proper cut wavelength matched antenna could improve reception if the connector on the back is actually a part of the cellular antenna system.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffer:
Its called a U.Fl connector, and is typically used on micro-PCI WiFi radio cards, using a pigtail cable to connect to the WiFi antenna.

I do not know if this connector under the battery cover goes to the WiFi radio, or the cellular radio, but I'd put my money on it going to the cellular radio. I should connect an antenna to it (I have a few of those pigtail cables) and see if my 'bars' go up.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Noobla_Khan:
You have to drop it onto your SD card and then use a file manager to navigate to your SD card and install it.

Once installed you go into settings then languages and keyboards and select the keyboard you just installed.

Once selected long tap in an input field and choose input method, choose your new keyboard and you are done.

Hi,

Complete noob here!!

So I had rooted 2.1 stock and update to Froyo leak first one it came out I believe (System Version 2.3.9.MB810), and lost root.

I would like to upgrade to the new 2.3.13 Froyo, but I'm not sure if I could just follow the instructions on the threads because they are about going from 2.1 rooted to new Froyo.

Is there a difference in the installation? Can I recover root? Do I loose everything I have? I have Titanium root but since I lost root it hasn't been backing up I believe

I been looking at both of these threads lately, sound like the instructions might work (again complete noob :o, so not sure)
