Can we use NFC(near field coupling) speciality of phone to achieve this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bird333:
Can someone explain the differences between the different parts of the phone system, what they do? I.e. kernel, firmware (is the kernel in the firmware), pda, phone, csc, modem, etc. Also what steps are generally needed to change each of them? With all the developments going on, it's hard to keep up with what's being changed and why. Any info would be helpful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComanderTaco:
To avoid sounding like an ass ill say this. Stick around and use the search feature and read as much as you can and it will start to make sense. The answers to those questions would take some time to explain so if this all interests you like it did me start reading :-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArbitrageMan:
I've heard people say they have gotten Odin to work on their 64 bit versions of windows, but I cant. I am able to use it on a computer running Windows 7 - 32bit, but not either of the computers I've got running 64 bit.

I've definitely installed the 64 bit the drivers. I can access the phone in ADB on these computers. Odin sees the phone and throws up a com port, but I get a weird error message with Chinese characters when I try to move forward with the flash.

Anyone have a definitive answer? Is it possible to use Odin on Win 7 64bit?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earljg:
I flashed the leaked J12 with Odin on my 64bit Windows 7 laptop without any trouble.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
I flashed with Odin on my W7 64bit desktop. Had a little trouble with it sticking on the verifying files at the beginning, but restarted it and it ran fine the second time. That's the only experience I've had with Odin. Just though I'd let you know that it works on my 64bit machine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArbitrageMan:
Thanks guys. I dont know what the hiccup is on my end. I might go through my drivers again just to make sure that isnt the issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksizzle9:
I would highly suspect that the drivers are the issue as have used Odin on 2 separate 64bit machines. Make Sue that after u download the Sammy drivers, that they are installed, and installed correctly.

they call me...kick ass
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossDj:
I was never able to make any win7 system recognize my vibrant in dl mode at all, 32 or 64 bit, no matter what drivers i tried. I even tried to extract the 64 bit drivers to the 32 bit Os as I had seen mentioned in a thread some people had success with. Xp ran it like a champ on the first attempt.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepEmissions:
I know were talking about different phones here but I've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution to a problem I'm having right now. when switching from 1 custom ROM to another, it was required that I flash to stock EC05, then flash to EE?? my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wouldnt work properly (kept getting stuck in boot.bin in ODIN0 but my old faithful Netbook with Windows XP Home SP3 (x86) workd flawlessly!

I'm talking 3 HOURS of trying to get the Win7x64 to work properly and had my Epic reflashed with XP in 3minutes and 27 seconds, not counting time to install Samsung Drivers into XP (30-45 seconds)

Granted this is my experiance, but before I got x64 I was running with Win7 X86 and still never had problems. I have read through Google search that other people with x64 Windows 7 had problems. This is my story only, best of luck to ya, but I am now ONLY going to use my ol Netbook (or x86 virsion of Windows) to ODIN my phone.

Hi,

I tend to have a lot of callers who say they get a message stating "please state your name so google voice can try to find your caller".

This gives me a ton of messages from people who leave me a 60 second long message of nothing.

Is there a way to make google voice just ring my phone instead of giving me the option of screening my calls?

Thanks,

Rich

[HD Mini General] kami88:
Hi all,

I have a very weird and annoying problem with my HD mini.

Mostly im using my phone in vibration mode, so with no sound.

Sometimes when i receive a text message, the phone keeps on vibrating continuously!

I installed the newest ROM from htc and the SMS hotfix.

Does anyone have the some issue?

thx!
[HD Mini General] falchetto65:
I've the same problem!
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
i had this once too...i needed to soft reset:mad:...and today when i received an sms ,i tried to open it and it got frozen :mad::(
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
Yes, mine does the same every now and then. No pattern to it, but I'm sure locking and then unlocking the screen stops it.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
i suggest all of you guys will fill complaints about your HTC HD Mini problems,as i did...HTC @$$holes needs to put their @$$ to work and to fix ALL Mini problems!!!FINALLY!
[HD Mini General] RicardoAlves27:
I have the same problem!!
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Maybe the phone vibrates more if a pretty lady text you. ;)

Kidding.

Better fill up the complaints. Force HTC to take notice.
[HD Mini General] kami88:
Thx guys!

Nice to know that I'm not the only one with this problem!

I also tried a soft & hard reset, but still the same problem...

[HD Mini General] Tsadila:
Here too. Same thing
[HD Mini General] Tsadila:
hm..... Signature is a bit outdated I guess. Question. When recieving a txt, oftenly i do not receive a sound notice. Somehow the setting are reverting all by themselves to vibration only. Anyone else? (or how to deal with it)
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
You might have set the sound file to one that is not compatible with SMS message notification.

I had this recently and it turned out that I had set the sound file to one classified as an Alarm notification. Strangely, this would play when a message was recieved if the screen was on, but not if the screen was locked. It too kept setting the notification to vibrate only.

Changing the alert sound file to a different one cured the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landulf:
Does anyone know how to change the default ringtones. I know that if you add a folder called ringtones on sd card that they show up, but when you have your sd cards mounted they are not present. I have tried to place ogg files in the /system/media/audio/ringtone folder but it doesn't see them.

EDIT: Again I want to know what reads the folder /system/media/audio/ringtone/*.ogg and populates the ringtone select menu.

I know I can add into this with /sdcard/ringtones/*.* but again when sdcard is mounted these are invalid.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Create a ringtones folder under the /sdcard directory. That's where I put mine and the phone finds them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodger-sp:
There are 2 applications that'll do this for you you can download zedge from the android marketplace or ring droid both of these work great for me should check em out. Zedge allows you to download free wallpapers and ringtones. Ringdroid allows you to create ringtones from music stored on your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
I've pushed ringtones into /system/media/audio/ringtones and it works for me. So do they not show up when you put them into that dir? You can use mp3 also, doesn't have to be ogg.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landulf:
Yes, they do not show up. I cannot recall if I did a reboot afterwards. Gonna try that now after getting comfirmation that it should read from there without anything else.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddin201:

Sorry if this has been brought up many times before but could find anything in the search.

Is it possible to use the wireless connection on the xda lli to connect a laptop to the internet.

basically i have a laptop that doesnt have a wireless card in it so wondering if its possible to plug the xda into the laptop via the cradle and use the phones wireless adapter to run internet through the laptop.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] muckelmaus:
That should be possible, but it will raise your handy costs, in case you use radio/gprs!

There might be a way to connect to a hot spot and use the device to akt as modem.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] callyuk:
wireless modem is what i was thinking not using gprs just running through my home wireless internet connection i have in the house rather than having to plug the laptop into the router via a cable if any of that make any sense.

I disabled this and it seems battery life is improving day by day, fewer freezes as I go along and interface is smoother than after I started bloating up on apps and games.

Oh and I have since uninstalled utilities like ATKs and the likes. Looking and feeling good so far.

Will update should this be just a mirage on my part.

Oh and please reboot after disabling guys.

update

Alight.

It's been some time already now.

I can say there has been some extension of battery life with this but there are more room for improvement.

So after reading and digging around I must say having followed some suggestions and ideas from members here and there have squeezed more juice from the battery.

Amongst.

Run haret in winmo while the hardware buttons are still lit up.

Charge android while the hardware buttons are still lit up.

As for screen freezes try calibrating the gsensor in winmo with the phone screen down at the edge of say a table for obvious reasons. This has reduced tremendously the random freezes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RippieUK:
Hi everyone

What is peoples oppinion on full winmo roms like VBN or Energy and also using Android? Or do you go for the lite versions which should be more Android friendly?

Currently i am running VBN Droid Rom but i am missing a few features in the lite versions... Wondering to go back to the full roms but just thought i would ask around what your experience is with the full winmo roms compared to the lite ones :)

Thank you all

Always been an Energy Rom user, but thought I would give ChuckyDroid a go, as basically using Android as my day to day OS.

I found that with ChuckyDroid I was having more screen freezes and hard freezes (pull the battery), so switched back to Energy.

I believe there isn't much difference between the full and lite roms when running Android, its just down to personal experience and what works for you best.

As long as the Rom is Android friendly, and has the correct files cooked in to stop Robovoice etc, you won't see much difference apart from mainly the boot up speed if your booting straight into Android. As there was a considerable difference booting to Android using ChuckyDroid compared to Energy. ChuckyDroid was lightening quick.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] justwonder:
Please define "Android friendly", or is that what chef just saying to make you feel comfortable, more confident to use with Android?

I cooked my own rom from the kitchen, I just unchecked this, unchecked that....then... you know....,I know nothing about Linux, Android, and my rom just run perfect with any Android build.

oh, I put a line says " this rom specially made to run Android", maybe that make my homemade rom "Android friendly".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bobmarsh72:
My bad lol Aug 28th....

There are several .dll files that need to be in your build.... Im searching for the thread, as Im no expert but have read on this.

These files may already be in your base ROm when uploading, but the Roms that were having the problem with Robovoice I believe these files were added and if not fixed the problem were part of the reason it was fixed.

Edit....given up searching for the posts (so many to look through with key words such as robovoice, files, rom, android etc) but from what I can remember it was dll files taken from a stock 2.10 rom, which helped with the problem.

Edit again....Found the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757914 Actually reading back it doesn't give a definite answer if theses files did work, but it sounds like they did for pkoper.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kabuk1:
I've tried ChuckyDroid & it was very good if you're running Android 24/7, but it's VERY lightweight. I'm using VBN now because I wanna have a usable WM rom just in case something happens to my Android installation(card dies, gets corrupted, etc.) & I'm not able to fix it right away. I've noticed no difference in performance upon switching roms. That said- I got robo-voice BAD on the stock WM rom, and it went away as soon as I flashed a custom rom.

Well since you're not a noob, then I probably don't need to tell you that you should have odin open and ready, then plug the phone in, and THEN boot into download mode. In that order. you need to boot the phone into d/l mode before it starts charging once its plugged in. good luck.

sounds like you have a firewall blocking those websites, perhaps you can try another available wifi spot, with a different ISP and router. also try opera mini and see how that goes.

I'm on at&t with a streak bought from dell, I upgraded to 2.1 first day I got it. First build 6941 and now on 8105. I haven't had any issues with connecting to 3g or edge. Check your data connection settings.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tubaking182:
The guy obviously didn't know what he had so no dump, and I doubt it had root to start with. If you have an idea of how to root then move to thinktank and testers are ready, and CR is working on it too
