[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
I just wanted to add that my first G2 would also constantly jump between 3G and EDGE (more so than the Vibrant and more than the MT3G).

I guess we'll see if #2 is any better. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] ThaGeNeCySt:
Nevermind.
[G2 and Desire Z General] batrad:
I'm not too happy with my phone, considering i paid over $400 for

Would be sending the device back in..

May wait for the new MyTouch which has a front camera and Wi-Fi hotspot feature..

Don't care much about a Physical Keyboard...
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
Just want to reiterate: PLEASE report back if your replacement phone has better signal reception. I too have the weird problem(?) of my G2's signal fluctuating very often.

It would be very helpful to know if this is a defect of some sort or if the G2 just has a much more sensitive radio.
[G2 and Desire Z General] magnafides:
Well, I went ahead and arranged for my G2 to be sent back for a replacement.

While I was on the phone with the rep I was holding my G2 in one hand and my wife's in the other. Hers fluctuated between 3 & 4 bars and mine between 0 & 2 bars and my data connection kept going from H -> G -> E -> H.

Yesterday I had my phone turn off by itself -- not reboot, just turn off. I've also had multiple occasions where EVERY SINGLE APP I tried to open force-closed and I had to reboot the phone. My wife hasn't had any of these problems with hers so I'm hopeful.

To add insult to injury the CSR that I talked to said that there were no reports of these problems from other customers; I (politely) called BS and pointed towards these and T-Mobile's very own forums. At least the 14-day buyer's remorse resets with the replacement...
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I just received a replacement G2 today and was I disappointed!!!!!!!!11 The hinge was even looser than the first one and the signal fluctuation was even more pronounced. The first one would drop from 4 bars of H immediately to 3 bars of G to 2 bars of E and then I bar of H and then to no signal, and so on. A real hassle connecting to Market and downloading something is a real adventure. The replacement fluctuates even more!!!!!!! I called T Mobile and they said they were putting me on a new connection that was needed for the G2 but would not increase my bill. So far it is worse if that is possible, T Mobile also said it would help my Vibrant and my Nexus One as well but so far that is not happening. What a major disappointment on a Phone that could be the Super phone.

Cannot believe they would put out a radio this bad on what was suppose to be a flagship phone for TfMobile. One that they have touted as fastest downloads speeds in the west. I have 14 days to make up my mind but I dont believe they will put out a fix for the problems any time soon. Perhaps not till next YEAR!!!!!. If then
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jon C:
I was pulling down way slower speeds on my G2 than I was with my old Vibrant. The best I could pull off on my G2 (under the same testing conditions as the Vibrant) was like 1.6Mbps down and 2Mbps up. Pathetic.

I also had the cycling of connections problem, and the hilariously loose hinge.

I have a feeling this phone isn't going to work out. What a damn shame...

Here's hoping the Desire HD makes its way stateside. I don't care what carrier gets that device -- whoever gets it, I'm going there.

Unless, of course, my replacement G2 I get tomorrow is fine. Knowing my luck, it will be worse than the first unit. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
I too had the fluctuating signal issue, but I was indoors. My first G2 also had a weird seam split issue on the side of the phone. Both of my G2's have the hinge issue.i think my second G2 is doing better with signal but I won't know until monday when I'm at the same place I was experiencing the signal issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] greensnow:
did they give you a ups tracking number? i thought he said something about my phone number or my account number being my tracking number but i forgot haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] XfrostX:
Try the ups reference number as your phone number with no dashes
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gerson2407:
Got mine back today, hinge feels exactly like the first one not too loose but still dangled a bit when help upside down. I'm not getting the signal dropping thing as much on this one so idk how that radio thing will play out. Hmmm all bad radios or a couple bad phones?
[G2 and Desire Z General] magnafides:
Well, after ordering a replacement yesterday I took my wife's phone to work today. The signal seems a little better but still not as good as the MT3G.

Then, while sitting on my desk the phone turned off and wouldn't turn back on or even charge (even though the phone still had over 30% battery remaining). I had to pull the battery out to turn the phone back on.

Anyways, I'm done with the G2 experiment -- they're all going back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fryrice8850:
That would be a def replacement! my g2 has been doing the same exact thing...i am still thinking if i should go through the hassle of doing a replacement. maybe the random restart is a software issue. Because i know for sure there is lots of issue with this tmobile version of stock froyo.

worst part is i work for them
[G2 and Desire Z General] pseudoswede:
I was going to ask about that. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] magnafides:
Oh no, I'm not getting a replacement. I'm returning the G2s for good. If a couple of months down the road they release some software updates that fix the issues I might reconsider, but right now my confidence in the G2 is shaken and I'm not willing to take that bet before my 14 day remorse period.

By the way, since I posted last my wife's G2 has rebooted itself twice while idle, and one of those times it hung on the "HTC G2" boot screen requiring a battery pull. I'm in an area with weak signal so I have a feeling it's related to the radio.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I called into TMobile 2 nights ago to complain about the signal issues and loose hinges and wall paper changing by itself and also inability to access the Market at times and downloading problems etc. The rep in Customer Loyalty said she would replace the device immediately but wanted to try a new sim card first. I agreed although I had just replaced the sim card two months ago. She said to call back in 24 to 48 hours if this did not correct the situation. 28 hours later the signal issue was worse etc. so I called back to Customer Loyalty and this rep questioned my integrity and stated that HTC phones could not possibly have the same issues in 2 phones.( I had returned the first for a refund.) I then asked for a supervisor and he came on and made the same statement. I then asked him to get online and visit this forum and others and he replied the had a Nexus One once and knew all about android. He then stated that the odds of having even 2 HTC handsets with the same issues was astronomical. I asked him if he was questioning my integrity and he said no and then finally agreed to send out another phone. While doing this he made the same statement about HTC phones. I then told him I have a Nexus One and a Vibrant and all phones can be subject to problems. The sim card that they requested I change to would not work in the Nexus One but would in the vibrant. I am not sure why but the gold portion of the sim card was much smaller and placed differently. The sim card I then changed to again works in all of my phones. What is this HTC does not make any mistakes bit????? Are they getting that many returns and are beginning to panic> Any one else have this type of situation?

[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
EDIT: Aleq has posted updated versions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23937844&postcount=36

Checked whether a project for creating a WinCE like plugin for total commander already exist, but couldn't find one, so here it is.

Disclaimer: This plugin is still in it's infancy, therefore it might crash you, your PC or your phone. It might not even start. But it'll improve.

1. What's this?

This is a filesystem plugin for total commander that let's you browse and modify the contents of your phone while using total commander

2. Why?

Although there are some android file managers out there, none of them I've found integrates into total commander. And if you've already using tcmd as a general file manager you usually don't want to open up a new program just to access your filesystem.

3. How?

The plugin uses the "adb shell" interface to communicate with the phone. It issues simple linux commands, parses the results and shows them to you in tcmd.

4. What's needed?

Total commander on your PC, busybox on your phone (root is not needed, but it will be used if available), and USB debugging turned on as well. Next download the plugin, open it in total commander and let it install.

5. Download location?

Download the latest version from here: http://github.com/sztupy/adbfsplugin/downloads

6. Supported features?

- directory listing

- copying from/to phone (very slow)

- copying/moving/renaming inside the phone

- creating and deleting directories

7. Whats needed?

- Better error handling

- Command line interface

- Attribute changing

- APK management

- etc.

8. Common pitfalls/limitations/etc.

- If the plugin can't start the adb server, wait a bit, then try it again

- The plugin won't ask you whether you want to overwrite a file or not, it will overwrite it

- Uploading and downloading files is very-very slow

- The plugin starts by trying to use su. If it can't get permission to use su (for example you pressed deny on the superuser page), it will run as a normal user.

Licence: GPLv3 (with the added exception that allows you to use the plugin with total commander... duh) and CC-BY-SA

Excellent. I will follow the development of this plugin closely. For now I can't use it. I get an error when trying to browse the phone.

<0005 - stat failed>

EDIT: I am on a HTC Hero running CyanogenMOD 6.
[Android Apps and Games] playya:
Thanks for this... I have been using total commander for a few years now and I love it. I also use it to open up apk files and change images within them if I need too. I have made a lot of changes to my framework-res and com.htc.resources png files by simply using total commander. So great job on this
[Android Apps and Games] HTCore:
Perfect, thank you. Must needed tool for total commander and android users.
[Android Apps and Games] ratson:
this is fine.

-it doesn't play nice with older busybox versions, there is an app (called Busybox) on the market that tries to install/update busybox, it is a great help

-symbolic links are not playing nice

other ways this is amazing ;)
[Android Apps and Games] f3d0r:
very nice idea ;)

It would be nice if the plugin would use my already installed adb server instead of starting it's own (maybe in the future outdated) version.
[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
Symbolink links and more compatibility with busybox < 1.17.1 is coming soon. I'm also working on linking this with adb putty, so running commands from the command line should work too.
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
I have installed the plugin, and have my phone connected in debug mode, but how do I access it now? I confirmed that adb shell is able to connect, but in Total Commander I see no way to access my phone. (The drive letters that are usually used for access while mounted don't work.)

I have experience with Total Commander, I have used adb shell, but I can't really figure this thing out...
[Android Apps and Games] sztupy:
filesystem plugins ccan be found at the network neighborhood
[Android Apps and Games] jjwa:
Oh wow, that is not a place I would look for my USB-connected phone :).

But it works now, thanks :).

Edit:

it is indeed very slow. A shame, because that means it's actually not a practical way to regularly put music and videos on my phone and download my photos off of it. Is there a chance the low speed can be fixed?

Also, there are several applications that allow you to use ADB wirelessly, could you support that in this plugin? Would be a very nice feature! :)

I believe they all use 'adb connect IP-address:port' on the computer's side to connect to it, so that does not sound very difficult to me.

Thanks for your work so far, initiatives like these are very appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] hav0c:
Nice app. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I prefer Directory Opus but I will use Total Commander just for this plugin. Thank you!!!

Leaked beta on http://www.ppccabfiles.ru/total-commander-for-android Russian site! Use http://translate.google.com to translate in your preferred language. The apk includes Russian and English UI

Note [PC]:

Within Total Commander

COPY/MOVE window

press F2 (-queued background process-) instead of ENTER ! :D

First drawback is that one does not see guessed duration of COPY/MOVE process, though having full controll over TC instead of starting another TC is reason enough for me to use this feature since its excistance. :) Second drawback is that one can not exit TC ;) I guess we'll have to wait a while before TC gets a modular copy/move window LOL
[Android Apps and Games] inoozie:
Would be nice if you could provide an option for path to Android SDK.

1) If this path is not set then use your built-in adb.

2) If path is set then use adb from Android SDK (and load adb dll helpers from SDK as well).

[Android Apps and Games] Conan179:
giv from this any updates or a antoher project?
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
An update!

Hi Everybody and esp. Sztupy.

I tried the plugin but it was never properly working for me - it listed only / and without anything else, everything looked like file etc. Since the last update has been done a year and half ago, I decided to try by myself.

The problem is/was current busybox (1.19.4) as I have noticed on my SGS2 with CM9 and B&N Nook Tablet with CM7.2. It does not support "stat -c" which this plugin uses to obtain details about file/folder. I rewrote it to use widely used/available stat -t (if stat -c is not supported) and also temporarily HACKED links to be shown as directories (you can get into /etc, /sdcard now). The source-code is not completely tidied up yet, there is a lot of debugging messages also. I hope I get back to it soon and prepare better release. I have a lot of ideas how to improve it, let's see if I get to it.

So until I do, I present you updated version that should (hopefully) work on all new rooted (= with busybox), ADB connected devices. If you are having problems, execute "adb devices" and check if your device is listed. If not, search web/xda for ADB connectivity resolution. That's not in the scope of this post/thread.

As a bonus you get also 64-bit version, since Christian Ghisler is publicly testing already TC 8.0 x64 :)

Enjoy,

Aleq

P.S.:

- "release" versions don't have debug information, the functionality is the same

- x64 is 64-bit version, the other one is 32-bit

If you don't know which one, take adbfsplugin-0.7+aleq_release.zip :)

[Android Apps and Games] plisk3n:
Just installed the plugin, my device does show up in "adb devices"

but I'm getting this message when I try to goto it via TC:

<000A - no ack data from adb server>
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
Test version sent to both of you via PM. It still needs testing and fine tuning. I'll upload public version soon, as soon as I finish it. Anybody willing to beta test, PM me.

What's coming:

- connection fixes (for some devices) by Michail Kuropiatnikov (micdelt)

- much faster download/upload (direct ADB calls)

- file date/time (experimental, under development)

- support for not rooted devices (no busybox)

- ... + some more, minor changes ...

I'm experiencing now issue with inaccurate date and time. No matter what I do, I get it "slightly" off in TC. See my post about that at Ghisler's forum

Support Wi-Fi

Is it possible to add support wifi (adb connect <IP>)?
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
I can take a look at it when I'm finished with the support of non-rooted phones...
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
Wireless ADB is supported in upcoming version with a little bit of manual work - you will just need to execute the included adb.exe (not different one): "adb connect <ip_address>". Then you can open the plugin and files will be there. I have just tested it.

This is enabled by micdelt's patch, "transport-usb" changed to "transport-any", nothing more :) In the distant future we might introduce a configuration GUI. Anybody willing to do such stuff, come and volunteer :)
[Android Apps and Games] sorg:
looking into source code, i see you transfer file by pieces through buffer which makes transfer superslow comparing to original adb file transfer.

Is it possible to change to adb push/pull for file transfer?
[Android Apps and Games] plisk3n:
That's amazing. I'll test for sure. Keep me posted!
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
This is exactly what I thought. I just don't know how to push/pull directly via the socket, so I'm calling adb.exe push/pull (waiting for it to finish) and monitoring the progress by checking the target file size regularly. It works well. Like Android Commander, just with progress bar :)
[Android Apps and Games] sorg:
Is it already implemented in version you've uploaded? I tried your plugin - transfer very slow while adb push/pull from command line transfers much faster.
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
No, not in the last published one. But it's coming out very soon hopefully.
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
A bug related to many files with long filenames/file paths exceeding 1022 characters (command line limit) when being statted in a batch of 10 files at once FIXED. Yet one more bugfix to go - before release. Hopefully.
[Android Apps and Games] plisk3n:
Keep us posted. I would love to test this out .. wifi adb would be amzing
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
I have found and fixed that bug. There are some (well, not only "some") memory leaks, so more bugfixing. Sorry for teasing :)
[Android Apps and Games] Aleq:
The important memory leaks are fixed.

Current todo:

- free space information

- looking for the last (? ;) ) bug which causes occasional UI freeze (however the file always gets copied correctly) while copying large files TO device
