[Captivate General] toawkanavngthded:
i jsut bought my captivate last night and trying to boot into recovery but no go. im assuming i have a "bad" model and hoping i can swap it later today. just wondering what is the best way to get them to swap me to get the bootloader version... im planning on going and saying ima dev and need this feature and every phone they give me i will try to run bootloader mode and see if it works. i mean recovery mode lol. so i hope i will leave with a captivate that can go into recovery mode!! any suggestions?
[Captivate General] bfgarzilla9k:
I've seen many posts here about people with a "hardware locked" boot loader/recovery/whatever. It inclined me to check and my Captivate has this issue as well :/

I'm not worried enough to go swap mine out right away, but I am worried for the future (I plan on flashing CM6.x whenever it's available for our phone) in case something may go wrong.
[Desire General] setspeed:
In the last couple of days all my iPhone-toting friends have been showing off their Places app which logs their location to their Facebook profile, along with a map link. Apparently it never worked before, but now it does.

It's a total load of cr*p, but in the interests of showing them that Android can do anything the iPhone can (usually better), and also to shut them up, I'd like to know if there's some way I can have that functionality on my Desire. Just so I can do it the once and say "It's a waste of time which is why no-one on Android uses it"

Any ideas?
[Desire General] crozuk:
Android user can also use this feature if you go to the facebook mobile site with your browser. However I have no doubt this feature will pop up in the next facebook app update.
[Desire General] setspeed:
Where exactly do i need to go on the mobile site? I'm looking at it now...

Found it on the Touch Facebook site - thanks!
[Desire General] crozuk:
Indeed.

Just below the inbox button.
[Desire General] aindow:
I think the places thing could be a security risk. Even if you don't put your location, a friend can tag you as being in a location. The only way out of this is through changing privacy settings to opt out.
[Desire General] interqd:
actually i think this is a cool feature which is meissing in android...

anyway, android facebook app is still crap compared to iphone app, hope thw dev will release better one soon...
[Desire General] xodeus:
This is odd. I don't haver this feature. Maybe it's country specific.

I'm using 4sq and it updates my location to both facebook and twitter.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] crozuk:
Pretty sure its location specific. I was in the states a couple of weeks ago when they were trialling it there. Came back an it wasn't available in the UK until recently. Still in a testing phase I believe. Will no doubt have a bigger roll out with the next update to the Facebook app.
[Desire General] alastor2004:
At present it's only available in the US and the UK, the rest of Europe will receive it soon.

As above it'll probably be in the next Facebook app update, whenever that comes along...
[Desire General] mccallum:
i just made a page for us who seem to get left till last by facebook .. its on facebook.com/pages/Equal-Applications

i suppose its kinda encouraging them to make our apps good and not just focus on ipods

hope people that feel the same jump on and add their views
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HellRayzer:
I have a new digitizer and lcd. My question is....how do you align them properly before attatching them together before install? Does the housing help align it? I have researched this with no luck, I have Verizon...so i have no choice but to repair myself i'm not paying more than i paid for the tp2 to have it repaired.

Also what width kapton tape do i need, i've seen as narrow as 5mm on ebay?

One more....does the kapton go on the back of the digitizer first to attatch it to the lcd?

Any help on how to do this would be great. The only thing i've seen on it is how to replace, not what to do to attatch them together or how to line them up.

Thanks, Eric

Hi again,as i posted the official white paper of x10 by SE a few days ago now i am posting the official white paper of x10 mini,have a look on this and tell has SE gone mad as you can see there will be 16.7M colors on x10 mini where as X10 will still stick to 65k(not even 256K),please comment on this what do you think SE is doing,is this a good move by them to their generous customers?Thanks and below is the link: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/742/291/1268292895/dw-300004-X10_minipro_WP_2.pdf

That better be a f-ing mistake!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
They have to give the mini something to make it look like a worthwhile purchase. It hasn't got much else going for it lol
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Well seeing as to how it costs less than half of what the X10 costs, I don't think it should have much going for it in the first place if the X10 doesnt
[XPERIA X10 General] Sighx:
That's just pure BS from them. I know we're going to get it, but still ridiculous on their slow asses.
[XPERIA X10 General] rkanwar:
This device is a wicked device but its just SE are a bunch of w*nkers who dont please their customers as they used to before the x1, since xperia god knows what they playing at. Tbh i love my x10 and yes i do miss my blackberry 9700 but hey u win some u lose some

[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
As I own an x10 mini I can confirm the phone does indeed support 16 million colours.

I'll upload a screen cap if you like, but I wouldn't want to offend x10(big) owners.

[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:

yeah I just can't believe it -.- hope the mini dies faster than the big one xD
[XPERIA X10 General] NightSidew1nd3r:
Dont think anyone would be offended, I would take a 4 inch screen over 16million colours anyday. And it still looks brilliant with just 65k
[XPERIA X10 General] gpmg762:
SE has gone off their rockers with the 2.1 update. True X10 has a big screen, HTC Desire HD has a bigger one 4.3 and it has 16M colors.

Thinking to upgrading my X10 to HTC Desire HD when it releases in Oct, this one has 2.2 out of the box.

Flash, App2SD, 8M CAM, more memory, FM radio, multi-touch and bigger screen with 16M colors, makes my X10 looks like an extinct dinosaur.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Yes, desire hd sure looks beautiful I must say. Everything the x10 is and then some.....not to mention it smoked the nexus one with froyo on the benchmark test
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You know... in 6 months, there will be an even better phone, right?

You know... that's how technology works, right?

You know... it's silly to compare year old technology to brand new right?

Nah. I welcome your posts in 6 months, when SE announces the X20, with Android 3.5 out of the box, with support for PlayStation 3 games, super-multi-touch, and a 50mp camera with x-ray vision that makes your Desire HD look like the **** a dinosaur took millions of years ago.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
The sad thing is, you can see the gradients on these pics when you look at them on the x10 :(

So far I was appreciating how they looked on the pc, but this is just :(
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
My question is... can the gradients be seen in screenshots? I mean... when a screenshot is taken, is it being taken of the output or is it taken from the memory?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Hmm good point
[XPERIA X10 General] Contrarian:
This is how they appear on the x10 mini screen - no "onion lines" at all. I had to save the images as interlaced pings mind you.

open them on your x10 to see if gradient lines appear.

If it's any consolation, most of the menu/search bars used by SE and google are web safe bitmaps, meaning its impossible have 16 million colours present anyhow. In other words, we still have onion lines present on the x10 mini/pro.

I must admit it would be very difficult to distinguish between a 64k and 16m colour photograph.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
HAHAHAHA!!!! WOW I want the X20 now!!! Will it be coming to Canada? lol
[XPERIA X10 General] gpmg762:
You can dream on.
[XPERIA X10 General] mymagicmyhero:
The X10mini has 16M colors since released (with 1.6) to the market. So this is not a new thing and it has nothing to do with the update.
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
Ok, what the f**k !? I remember that someone said that 65K colors are Donut limitation, how can this MiniPRO then have 16 mil colors !? I will throw this junk and buy DesireHD.
[XPERIA X10 General] avatar_43:
Donut has a colour limitation on it... On any phone, Chances are that you won't notice it as much on the mini/pro cause of the screen res is far far smaller then the X10. I've noticed it alot when just scrolling home screens on ADW...
[XPERIA X10 General] karendar:
OS limitations mean no 16M colors for the X10 Mini, as far as I know. I honestly think everyone is getting wrapped up for no reason...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] supermagma:
I have the T-Mobile G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and i want to unlock it.

I think im going to use a code from ebay.

I am running a custom ROM at the moment, do i need to restore my phone to an official rom to unlock it?

If i do need to restore to an official rom, how do i do this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ibnabatoot:
No, in most cases you will be fine as you are, just use the code.

I did read a in another thread about a guy having problems unlocking with one particular custom Rom but for the most part its fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jason4656:
my experience is that i had to restore it to unlock, it wouldnt unlock using froydviallain 1.5 once i had unlocked it, i then flashed modaco 2.1 then eleinux but, i havent changed radios yet, so dont know if that will mess it up again and have to do same by going back, hope that helps
[General Questions and Answers] miketoasty:
So I rooted my droid 2 using the guide on this website. I then (Being an idiot) didnt read to not uninstall the Backup Assistant and did infact uninstall it. Then my phone started overheating, I panicked, threw it back to factory settings and kinda bricked it. Called verizon and got a replacement but would like to get it back to basics before sending it back. I read some of the tutorials to getting it back to stock but couldnt really get any to work. When doing the bootloader, sbf method, my computer doesnt detect the phone in bootloader mode. I am going to send the phone in either way (If they charge me it was my own fault nothing I can do about that) but would rather not pay.

So 1. Is there any stock 2.2 Droid 2 sbf available

2. Anyway I can get my phone connected, what am I missing, is it possible to connect to pc with Droid 2 in bootloader.

3. Can I just use the 2.0.1.sbf and then update to 2.2?

I am sure I have more questions but I will let you guys answer these first.

Also, is there anyway I can get BackupAssistant back in my system folder so that I can do a factory restore without bricking it?

Thanks in advance guys!
[General Questions and Answers] miketoasty:
Also is there anywhere on the web that I can download the Backup Assistant to reinstall it on my phone?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] smithisize:
Ok, so I'm trying to create a simple script to shutdown WinMo overclock and then boot android all with one click.

However, to do that I need to simply execute HaRET.exe. When I do that, it seems to set the keyboard correctly, screen calibration correctly, and all of that. But, not the backlight. So, when I put the phone to sleep, the backlight remains turned on.

This only happens when booting from HaRET.exe and not MJGDroidUtil.exe, but this is what I need.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? I'm not familiar with the argument I should have in startup.txt but currently is reads like so:

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=0 physkeyboard=tilt2 htc_hw.force_cdma=0 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800"

Thanks a lot

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TooHot2Handle:
turn off autolight on wm
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't think that's his issue...

I've noticed this, and I'm not sure why but sometimes the backlight stays on, sometimes it doesn't. As I recall, the NBH testing the backlight always turned off when the phone was put to sleep... I could be wrong tho. I'd have to check it out.

I think it's a bug in the system, or just a lack of proper backlight control.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] TooHot2Handle:
so when you put your phone into sleep mode by pressing the end button the backlight is still on? does it happens every time or just randomly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'd like to say it's random, but I test a lot of builds. And yes, that's exactly what I'm saying - the screen is black, but the backlight is obviously still on. I thought the autobacklight setting in WinMo only affected the backlight by being dim all the time...? Well, I'm going to play with this now to see. I'm curious :p

Alright, double-checked autobacklight and it's definitely disabled... booting newest reference build to see what happens. Haven't been able to recreate it yet... First couple of times I hit the end key, the backlight turned off properly. I'll post again if I can recreate it...

So far nothing. Tryin an updated blazn build now...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] smithisize:
Well, booting from MJGDroidUtil.exe and I never have a backlight problem. Only when booting from HaRET.exe

And turning WM autobacklight off fixed that for me (this time).

Would love a more solid solution though!

Regards

Smith
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Well for one, MGJDroidUtil is not recommended for use at this time. It randomly blows away the startup.txt, and also doesn't update properly... I heard it was just the zImage/modules update that's broken, but either way, I wouldn't use it.

Also, autobacklight is definitely supposed to be off - regardless of which one you use to kick off Android...

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my RHOD, so either I'm nutso or a new update fixed it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] smithisize:
Ok lol that's fine :) Yeah, for now, it's fixed, so I don't care :)

Does anyone know how to toggle autobacklight with MortScript though? Because, generally, I like it turned on. But for my droid boot script I would love to turn it off, then set a reg key to re-initialize at next WinMo boot

will u lose the clockwork recovery after flashing this way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
No. It flashes back to stock DI07 and does not touch recovery. I believe this is to give you a clean slate before flashing ROMs or a quick fix for when somthing goes wrong flashing zips.

you still need to flash DG27 to DI07 so you can get the latest modem.bin..what does this mean??? do i have to do something after i flash this rom that is attached?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It means you have to already have the DI07 update installed first because it only flashes the system, not the modem/phone or data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
http://firon.net/xda/SPH-D700-modem.DI07.update-signed.zip

Here's a modem updater. You need clockwork to flash this. Rename to update.zip and copy it to the root of your sd card.

This will update your modem/baseband from DG27 to DI07.

It will not check your phone's version, but it will at least make sure using it you're on the right phone model. :P

It will NOT overwrite root, your kernel, or anything else. It only touches the modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yellowxboy:
any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).

Hello all I'am new hear & i'm sure this is a noob Q but if my phone is rooted & has DG27 on it can i use Clockworkmod to flash this stock.epic.DI18.rom.update.zip to update it?

The Older Build .zip file is busted :eek: i downloaded it two times & both times winrar says

! D:\net down\stock.epic.DI07.rom.update.build2.zip: Unexpected end of archive

Clockwork also said the file was no good

My question is can i update my phone from DG27 to DI18 with the first file in the OP? & then use "update-modemtoDI18.signed.zip(from post #14)" I was reading things about having to up date to DI07 before going to DI18 also if any one would be kind enough to point me to the right files & stuff to get my phone updated. I have been on this forum & a few others for about 4 hours now and i can't seem to find an answer:eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
Yes.

you won't lose clockwork recovery but you might lose root.

if you lose root access, you simply need to re-root or flash a new kernel.

Hi, It seems the .zip size is not right, only 4.5M. Could you please fix it? Thank you so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
This is the recovery from the official di18 stock tar, it's tested, and it works

Keep in mind that the modem and recovery zips are used in conjuction with noobnl's stock rom for a complete stock system. The zip you're referring to only uninstalls the clockworkmod bootup recovery.

You should only need the two extra files if you need to turn the phone in to Sprint or sell the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cobradude:
DRockstar or anyone with the answer... silly question here ... but with new phones coming out soon and I might upgrade sooner than later... how do you reflash the epic's original recovery over clockwork listed in this forum? I know that clockwork is used to flash new Kernels or Roms... but what is used to replace the recovery completely? Could you point me in the right direction where the instructions may be listed if they exist. Cheers...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Ooo

That is exactly why the stock recovery was posted, for situations like yours. Both the modem and recovery zips were added so that Odin wouldn't be necessary for a factory wipe of the system.

You see, with the stock recovery zip, you are using ClockworkMod to flash the Samsung recovery and uninstall ClockworkMod itself. The next time a 3 finger push is used, the Samsung recovery will have already replaced ClockworkMod.

The whole procedure for a factory stock WIPE using ClockworkMod is as follows:

* Backup whatever info you want to keep on the phone, because after this procedure, there is no retrieving it.

* Download the stock ROM, stock modem, and stock recovery zips listed in the original post and put them on the root of the sdcard.

* Boot into ClockworkMod. Go to mounts and storage. Format the system, data, and cache to erase all the info on the phone. Return to ClockworkMod main menu.

* Choose install zip from sdcard, then choose zip file from sdcard. Install the stock ROM zip first, which will install the factory system. After that is completed, install the stock modem zip. Finally, install the stock recovery zip to remove ClockworkMod recovery. All of the flashes can be done in the same ClockworkMod session without needing to reboot after every install, just navigate back to where you can choose another zip.

* Don't forget to backup and format the sdcard if you're going to turn it in with the phone. In phone Menu > Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage, unmount the sdcard, then format it.

These instructions should spell it out for you nicely.

My thumbs are sore now!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cobradude:
DRockstar... you are awesome.... great details. Thanks. Do you know if the modem flash is necessary if I am flashing back the original I18 rom build?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
The modem is useful for those that never received the DI18 ota update, or otherwise have a different baseband number not ending in DI18 in the phone > Settings > About Phone. If you already have a DI18 baseband, then flashing the modem isn't necessary.
