[General Topics] mk262:
My wife has an original iphone that she wants to replace with an android device. I'll be able to sell it for around $125 and I'd prefer not to spend over $175 for the replacement. The replacement can be used. She is currently on at&t but will be moving to tmobile with me in the future.

I'm new to android myself and don't know much about previous models and what's out there. She plays angry birds but nothing super graphically demanding. I would say general use, little bit of photos, texting, email, that sort of thing. I was thinking about getting a G1 and snagging some custom rom for it. Is there a better idea?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Fascinate General] missaye:
hi, i'm new here and new to all of this. i tried to look around and couldn't find anything to help, so if it exists, i apologize for the repeat. anyway, i got the fascinate last week, rooted it, ran the lagfix, but saw i was still having problems and my phone was slow as hell and out of space. i ran the unlagfix and after i went to reboot my phone, it can't get past the verizon splash page. if it does, it's just blank. i tried rebooting again from recovery mode manually and nothing. please help!!

do i need to wipe the data/factory reset and start anew? does anyone have any suggestions? i'm kind of freaking out...

thanks!

How to Root

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
how to root what?

if you talking about the touch pro there is no need to root, you have root access.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, we may need more than this. What are you trying to do? If you're running XDAndroid, it is already rooted as hamagc pointed out...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DMONK:
I want to use autostarts.apk disable boot start .
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Disable boot start? What does that even mean?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
ya i'm still not catching you either. autostarts.apk is an app that will let you run selectable apps at boot (google). i see no reason this wouldn't work. is that what you are trying to do?

there is no boot start to disable on our devices.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] DMONK:
For example, some worthless, I want to disable the boot
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ok... that's interesting. I don't think root access is your issue, it's probably something else... I just don't know what.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] SectorNine50:
He's trying to keep certain programs from starting when Android boots up, I believe.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Thanks dude, I realize that... I was talking about the error in the picture.
[Captivate General] pyrplhaze:
So, in the past 12 hours I've managed to successfully root, install a rom, then mess something up, then restore (incorrectly), then restore (successfully), then go through the ODIN3 experience where it got stuck at "do not turn off target", then I unplugged it and got a "brick" (phone--!--pc screen), then I managed to get it back into download mode and now I am successfully back where I started ~12 hours ago.(that's really the abbreviated version...there were many more mess ups along the way :eek: )

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to all the folks who either a)know what the hell they're doing and help out folks who get stuck, reading your advice has been beyond helpful, albeit sometimes a little too technical for me....and also b) those folks who really fu%ked up their phones and got it figured out- I probably learned more from yall, as that's pretty much what I was doing. I find that it's not the easiest way to learn, but it gets ya there eventually:D

either way...this is in no way a helpful post, however I have learned so damn much in the past 12 hours that hopefully I'll be able to help someone out at some point and in some way reciprocate for all the help I've gotten from reading the hell outta this forum.

THANKS!!!!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITSJRW:
I have a completely standard 02 Desire. I have paired it up with a 2010 Mercedes bluetooth car kit. If I have the car kit on and turn on the Desire from cold the bluetooth connects and seems to work OK. If the desire screen locks or I stop the car (power off), when I restart the car the Desire sees the car kit but does not connect. It also refuses to reconnect when it has dropped the connection. It seems to connect for a second then immediately drops the connection.

If I leave the Desire to boot up and automatically lock the screen this also results in the Desire not connecting.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I could resolve this.

[HD2 General] Camusa:
I appreciate the detailed, but concise post.

I use ereader for most of my HD2 reading and find it to be quite good (and as you noted it allows me to retain the PDB container).

It would be nice though if BN allowed for non DRM .epub reading and sideloading without all the hooplah.

It is a slick interface that feels a bit more polished than ereader, but for the sake of simply reading an eBook...ereader works just fine.

Thanks again for the post.
[HD2 General] brucegil:
A single reader app would be best, but I am not counting on B&N/Adobe making it happen. Even on my desktop PC, the latest Nook (B&N) reader will not recognize my unlocked DRM books by default (or any other PDF book). I have to import them into a "My Stuff" folder and unlock them again. An earlier version of the B&N reader (actually an upgraded eReader app) already has my PDB books unlocked, so I just use it most of the time. Instead of having a backward compatible reader, B&N seems to be abandoning the old format, or at least not recognizing the books bought from other vendors, even their own subsidiaries. I noticed that the last books I got in PDF format have the same "numbers" titles as do the the ePub books. I may look into that aspect some more.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOW1400:
If i wanted to flash a custom rom cooked by a different chief from my previous 1, other then wiping my data, what about the apps that were installed in sd card via A2SD+?

1)Do i have to cleared them as well?if so how?

2)What do i need to do for those rom without A2SD+ function?
[XPERIA X10 General] karthigan:
Hi All!

Hopefully, this will end all discussion on Multitouch / 16.1 M colours, etc.

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/716/952/1284710360/DW-102192-X10_WP_6.pdf

As to say:

no MT, just single-touch, with browser getting the double-touch/double-zoom feature ... variation of single-touch

no 16.1 M colours :( ... The screen is still awesome ... even Angry Birds looks better on Android compared to iPhone.

no Adobe Flash support. :(

- still, I am keeping positive, perhaps these "features" can come aboard the 2.2 update, (if and when and will)
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Already posted,

Mods please close this thread
[XPERIA X10 General] JonEvan:
Everyone is believing, hoping and wishing and brain washed by SE that they are not really looking at the real facts.

X10 is high end device ..... dont be a fool!

Facts are:

No MT

No 16m colours

No flash (because of android 1.6, think again)

No camera flash

No 2.1 (1.6 and useless mini updates where they can put there resources into good use and give you 2.1 in the 1st place)

386MB ram (should have been 512)

No 2.2 in future (stop fooling yourself)

Battery life is crap

Improved software like timescape and mediascape .... yet right who care, most would gladly have 2.1 with MT rather than all these SE improvement on Android 1.6

No install apps to Sd

etc

etc

etc

These are some of the features that come standard on nowaday devices, so is this look like a high end device. More like high con device.

Time to wake up people and accepted you've been con by SE.
[XPERIA X10 General] akshaysuri2000:
yes i fully agree with you SE only fooled people by picking up there sales, so people from now onwards be careful before buying the SE and only trust what you see don't get fooled by future upgrades at least by sony

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilco:
Could you be more precise as to what you mean?

If you are talking about sim-lock: You will need to aask your network provider.

If you are talking about cid-lock: Use HSPL

I do not unserstand what you mean with "sheet codes" (I think you mean cheat codes, but how that relates to a locking problem, i cannot imagine)

I am sorry (No insult intended), but your english is so bad people probably do not understand what you mean.

I'll just get it out of the way now. I know i am a total noob, idiot, moron. Oh, and I worship the feet of the XDA general forum. I'm a little confused with the whole nandroid, clockworkmod, and odin thing. I like to do minor mods ie root, lag fix and taking other apks from other phones like the nfl.apk from the fasinate. Now i have clockworkmod and have made a backup of my rom. Would that be considered the nandroid backup. I have already used it to restore my rom and it now works fine. Is odin a backup software used from my computer instead of inside my phone like clockwork,but uses the backup that i made fromclockwork. Im confused can i get some help please im an idiot.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Rom Manager > Recovery > Nandroid

So yes if you've used Rom Manager and/or Recovery yes, you backed up aka made a Nandroid backup. ;)

I just prefer to use Rom Manager because its an easy interface to get into Recovery and do other simple tasks. I however only really boot into Recovery to restore my Roms just because I'm a bit of a control freak like that. I like creating backups via Rom Manager because it will drop into Recovery, create the backup and then reboot all on its own.
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
Cool thanks for the response, it clears alot up.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
No problem. ;)

After a while everything starts to make sense, but at first you just have to like I did read, read and read until you start to gleem things and it all starts to pull together.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowdan:
Hi Guys,

Applied the OTA from T-Mobile UK on Saturday to both mine and my wife's phone. All is well on mine but my wife kept getting android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly when she went to friend steam or updated its widget (she uses it mainly as a social networking portal). It also happened once while in the web browser but I thought it may be because friend stream was updating in the background.

After reading around finding a fair few forum post on the problem no one seemed really sure what causes or how to fix it and no one had the exact problem on a Desire or after the t-mob update, a lot did mention it being a facebook thing.

I followed the least drastic approach and removed the facebook and twitter accounts cleared all the data and caches for twitter,facebook and friend stream then rebooted the phone and added the accounts back 1 at a time. All was fixed and I was a Hero until this morning when opening an email in the HTC mail client caused it again.

Has anyone had similar problem on the Desire? After an Update?

Can the acore process be corrupt from the update?

Does a factory reset put it back to 2.1 and we can OTA again or is it now 2.2?

Some people with this problem still got it after a factory reset and some say the phone wouldn't boot after. Am willing to factory reset and reinstall all but wondered if anyone here had an opinion on the likelihood of it fixing it or if there was any other solutions I could try first?

Thanks.

Snowdan.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] marcmarshall:
I installed the latest Swype beta from their website a few days ago. I am having a lot of problems with the dictionary, especially with the pop-up for "hidden words". Yesterday I had 5 pop-ups with an 8 word text. An example would be a pop-up to tell me the word "for" is hidden by the word "four". I should not be getting this notification with either of these words as they are standard words. I also am not able to delete words from the dictionary. I go through the highlight and delete process and even get the "are you sure" dialogue but then the words persist.

This is making Swype unusable for me. Anyone else out there having this kind of problem?

BTW- since the new beta Swype stops responding after every reboot. I have to change input method to touch key and then change it back again to Swype. Evidently the new version fixed this problem for some but caused it for me.!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jiggadroid:
I noticed the same thing. For me it wasn't with standard words, but names. It looks like swype read from my contacts to add them to my personal dictionary. Now, almost any time I type a word, it says that it is hidden by a person's name. It got really annoying, so I stopped using it for the time being. Went back to swiftkey, but really miss swype.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] twizdedsista:
I had the same issue and went back to swiftkey even though I like swype better. It's unusable right now for me.
