[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2rz_taco_sr5:
ok guys im still rocking the g1. i have been ready for an upgrade for quite some time but havent seen a phone ive really liked. i have monster hands and would love a keyboard which is the only reason i dont have an n1 but with the difficulties there having rooting the g2 i might reconsider.

first off im not extremely tech savy. i have a+ but anyone who knows what it is knows its not that advanced, but i can atleast understand and follow instructions. so with this great forum and people who make things easy like cyan im not worried if things on the g2 might be a litle more complicated.

my question is IF they for some reason cant get permanent root or it takes a while to do so, what can't we do other than custom roms with the temp root we have now?

can or will we be able to have tether and cpu clock adjustment? i know i can change kernals and run higher oc on my g1 will things like that be possible on g2? can we delete the crapware?

hopefully this will help out some others wondering the same thing. like i said im no programmer but can follow instructions and even mess with linux in my spare time so things like formatting sd cards with ext etc. is not a big deal i just want to make sure if i get this phone im not going to hate life lol any help or info is greatly appreciated and please add as much things we can and cant do as you can think of so everyone can get an idea... hopefully it wont be a problem but im ready for one NOW and hoping you guys can ease my mind ;)

great thanks man. what about oc? im well aware at 800mhz it outperforms most of the 1gz phones out there and will be great on the battery, but it would be nice to see what the new cpu can do with the smaller 45nm design...

Hi there,

I would like to know if is has disadvantages in your opinion to publish a local app for other countries then where the app is meant for?

I don't want negative comments in the market like: I can't use this app in this country, but on the other hand we would like to target at some people who live at the borders of my country.

Specially the experiences from other companies are really interesting to me!

Sorry when this is the wrong place to ask, but it seems that there should be some of you with some experience about this!

Thank you for your reply!

r00n
[Android Software Development] Steven__:
I haven't tried this myself, but I think as long as you make a very clear note that the app is only useful in your country in the Market description, it should be ok. The reason I think you should still make it international is that people who live in another country but who are planning to come to yours might want it, if for example it has transport or touristy information.
[Android Software Development] r00n:
thanks! We are not sure yet what to do... Mentioning it in de application description seems not so professional to us. Maybe we can make a note in the application itself.
[Android Software Development] nzdcoy:
have you seen the comments in the android market? if you don't mention it in the app description then you are going to be bombarded with low ratings and bad comments from people who are wasting their time downloading it.

^^don't want to sound like a douche, but anything to curb useless/repetitive market comments is seen as professional in my eyes :)
[Android Software Development] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I think you should make it international and should also mention it in the description.

But people are still going to download it without reading the description or title or looking at the icon or screen shots and then complain that it lagged their phone and doesn't work at all, one star.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
So on Saturday, the screen on my N1 wouldn't turn on. Pulled battery out, back in and turned on and the screen goes green. Grainy green starting from the right side of the screen and slowly covering the rest of the screen. Called HTC and they're sending me another one.

My question is, since I can't see the screen to choose the Factory Reset option, what other options do I have? I tried to initiate remote wipe from my Exchange 2003 server but I didn't hear anything on the phone going on, no reboot process or anything so I presume the N1 only supports that on 2007/2010. Is there anything else I can do to make sure I reset it before sending it in without a working screen? I don't want my credentials saved on the phone. I incorrectly presumed the Exchange remote wipe would work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Stock / rooted?

You could boot into bootloader (blind) and use fastboot commands, or boot the OS and use adb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
Stock Android 2.2.1 but rooted with rageagainstthecage. Locked bootloader so no fastboot.

How do I use adb for this though?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you have ADB running by default -

su

adb shell

format SYSTEM

format DATA

format CACHE

Will leave your phone without any system, and without any data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
By that you mean that it doesn't have any O/S either, right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes. OS is in SYSTEM partition.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
Thanks for all your help, would that cause any problems with HTC honoring the warranty?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I have no first-hand experience with HTC warranty. Judging by the experience of the majority here - HTC honors even unlocked bootloaders in the event of HW failure that can't be a result of any SW misuse. So I don't think you should worry.

You can skip formatting SYSTEM, if you want your OS intact and only data erased.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
So deleting DATA would delete account information? My concern is my Exchange and GMail accounts that I want deleted. Sorry for all the questions, I don't know much about where Android stores information.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, deleting DATA will "factory reset" the phone, deleting all - surprise - data :) Accounts etc are data. SYSTEM is the bare system, no user data is allowed to be stored there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
****ing Awesome, I'll give it a shot tonight, thanks man!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bluefender:
i was given a lost or reported htc magic 32b, dude just wanted a newer phone

so it got blacklisted, im using it as a test phone to learn rooting flashing roms etc

i made a goldcard i copied the sappimg.nbh and FlashRec files etc and all went well, then i get to the welcome screen emergency call change language

i cannot go any further if plug in the usb cable i get nothing, as i cannot activate

the phone to get into menu add the rest of the files to flash etc i have sdk working but like i said it does not see the phone, as i said i am using it as a tester for my actual working htc magic 1.6 that i want to flash cyanogen rom.

i thought id rather brick the blacklisted one as it wont work anyway, before i try the methods on my working one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bluefender:
bump any ideas plz
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] baduki:
I don't think you can.. I tried that without data plan but noway to pass the activation for mytouch 3g. just use your other mytouch simcard (assuming you have dataplan) and activate it..then do all the rom install.. from then on..you don't need the dataplan..you will have a skip option with all roms...

(borrow friend's sim for few seconds to activate)

(get the dataplan and cancel it when you think you don't need it)

It is weird the google phone fails to sync all google calendars. I have 5 cals in Google Calendar, and only 3 sync with my G2. They are all shared the same way... Do you guys see same problem?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] xblue95:
I'm aware this post is well over a month old, but I've been having this same problem since I got my G2 back in Oct. I tend to believe it has something to do with Froyo 2.2 but not sure. I didn't have this problem with my Mytouch 3G Slide running 2.1. Has anyone come across a fix for this?
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Every time I try to update my PRL or profile, I get:

Could not update your profile or PRL at this time. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact customer service

Error: Internal Error.

I'm rooted via joeykrim's 1 click root exploit. When I first got the phone, I was able to update the PRL successfully. Not sure if root is causing the issue. I was seeing the same thing on my rooted moment before this.

Anyone else having this issue?

[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
I don't see what the big deal is. Even when I hadn't rooted my phone, I always got an error when trying to update profile or prl, so I don't see it as a big deal.

I remember there might be a way to update those things using your MSL (re: service programming).

Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
I was also hav ing issues with updating my phone, even before I received the DI18 update, before I finally decided to root my phone. I had taken it in to the local store... they couldn't do anything to fix it, just did a bunch a resets and stuff. They had me call in to Sprint tech support, and basically got the same results. At this point, I was also starting to experience random reboots. Eventually they gave up and decided to replace my phone.

At the time, I didn't know much about rooting and stuff, so I didn't want risk it on a phone that wasn't fully functioning, just in case other issues arose later, then run into a problem getting it fixed because I had rooted my phone.

When I got my new phone, and everything worked as it should, I finally decided to root, and have never looked back.
[Epic 4G General] KL4V1CL3:
I have been unable to update prl for the last few days. I get the message "internal error."

[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
Try turning your WIFI on or 4G then run it
[Epic 4G General] KL4V1CL3:
Alright, I just tried this, no success. I did notice however that every time I try to update, it begins searching for prl and then data appears to turn off. Wifi turns off, 4g turns off, and even my 3g icon disappears.
[Epic 4G General] KL4V1CL3:
Wiped everything 3x, installed latest epic experience along with phoenix kernel and the shabbypengquins latest battery tweak.

I was hoping this would work, but alas no. Same exact error.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I'm just hoping once Froyo comes out, it'll fix this issue.
[Epic 4G General] GXnext:
Is there atleast a way to do it manually? With all of this 4g stuff going on there is more of a need to update more frequently I would think....

[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I came across the exact same problem. I also dropped my Epic (way before the problem began) and cracked the chrome and paint on the side of the bottom right corner. I brought it into my Sprint store, they ran the prl update twice, it failed. They had a brand new non remanufactured Epic the next day. This one runs way better and the vibrates stronger when pushing keys. I suggest you bring it in and get a new one.

Forgot to mention I was outside of my 30 days, I had the phone for 60 days. They still replaced it.

Do as thou wilt be the whole of the law
[Epic 4G General] GXnext:
Well ... Ok... I guess... :(
[Epic 4G General] KL4V1CL3:
I purchased mine from Radioshack, so I'm guessing the Sprint store won't be as helpful. I'm not quite ready to give up and try to use the warranty on it, this is just a little bit frustrating.

I was able to update the PRL before...

Also, there is a thread on SDX about the problem too.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
I'd suggest waiting for froyo to come out and then try to see if you can update the PRL. That's what I'm hoping for anyways. If it doesn't work then, then it's going back.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
If it turns out you have to bring it in, Sprint called it a defect in the phone so they didn't make me use insurance which also means I didn't get a refurb but a brand new one. Funny thing the very first time I ran the prl in store before walking out I got the internal error again but the salesman hit it again and it went through. I've been testing it for two weeks now and it works every time

Do as thou wilt be the whole of the law
[Epic 4G General] angelo2k8:
I've been having the same problem the last two days. I'm not rooted or anything so I don't know what's going on but it's irritating.

[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Wow. Excellent info. But I bet you need to be on stock before you do this.
[Epic 4G General] sinman02:
It's ##786# to do the factory reset. You'll need your MSL number. The phone will do a factory reset and will do a hands free activation. My activation failed so I had to do manual update of my MSID. I would NOT suggest you do this on your own... Go through technical support (Level 3) so that they can walk you through it and give you all your phone specific info (MSL & MSID). The good news is that you won't need to do a phone swap to get this fixed. It's definitely fixable via software reset.

Turning the airplane mode on/off updates the prl. I read that somewhere.
[Epic 4G General] tksams:
anyone have an update on this?

I've been playing phone tag with a store manager at my local sprint store trying to get this issue resolved. He basically has done all of the things mentioned here (resets, MSL, The ## menu, fully pushed the DI18 update) and none of them had helped.

he then mentioned that he completely reset my account and things were in the queue on the servers to get reset. he then said to call him the next morning if this did not fix the issue.

the next morning (today) i got up and it still will not update, same errors as before.

So now i'm just trying to get a hold of him for the next steps, but this whole issue sure puts a damper on my incredible sprint service up until now.

Wonder if the real froyo update would actually fix the problem?
[Epic 4G General] anthromatt:
Being unable to update the profile I can see as being something to be concerned about. Being unable to update the PRL is not really a very big deal at all. Usually PRL changes come about to help Sprint reduce roaming costs. In all likelihood, updating the PRL won't make a bit of difference to 99% of people.
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Ask for the phone to be "reprovisioned"
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I took my phone back to best but where I got it from. I was only 3days over my 30 days. She called tech support and tried to reprovision my phone and it didn't work. I was getting that error message if I hit update on everything In that menu. She then used The manufacturers warranty and gave me a new one. I had to argue for a new one though. I wasn't accepting a refurbished one.
[Epic 4G General] tksams:
what exactly does "reprovisioned" mean?

Isn't that just all of the things they've already done?
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
How many of you who are having this problem have disabled the DRM manager or removed it?

I had a startup manager block DRM for starting so it was never running. I was having some issues with my music stopping at random times for no reason. I unblocked the DRM and let it run freely and it solved my problems with my music player.

Yesterday, I was reading there was another PRL update so I decided to try and update the PRL through the menus because I manually upgraded to 60674 via this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898628

So I thought maybe updating manually might have fixed the problem and to my surprise it worked. :eek:

But I think it might have something to do with the DRM manager. So enable it or reinstall it if and see if it solves the problem. I am now able to update my profile and PRL without any problems.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
To have your phone manually update your PRL and Profile, go to the Dialer and type "##3282#. Enter your MSL, hit reset and it will reboot and start to update your information. Have fun

I had the same issue without ever rooting. I had spordic Radio issues at times with getting signal. This phone was a replacement. I took it to the Sprint Store and they did various test. They of course told me it was working again, so I tried it in front of the tech behind the window and it failed in front of her. She replaced the screen and told me if it was still happening the next day to just call her and she should have some more in stock. I did that and now my updates are working normal. Just get the message that there is no update available. PRL will also update now without any errors. Take it to Store and tell them to replace it! Don't let them dictate the conversation.........
[Epic 4G General] angelo2k8:
I've finally gotten my phone to update (PRL, Profile, Software) without it giving me any error messages. The strange thing is what I did to get it to work which was completely unintentional and seemingly unrelated...

As long as I've had the radio update issue I've also had problems with the phone's auto-rotate. I went and did the following fix which WORKED for the auto-rotation. Right after calibrated the sensors I tried to do the updates and everything worked again. I don't see how this could possibly be related but hey...it seems to have worked for me. Anyone with the update issue should just give this a try, you really have nothing to lose.

[Android Software Development] m_amirian:
I want to develope ( or manipulate if available an open source) media player for android with the bluetooth avrcp profile feature support, so that playing commands can be sent from another bluetooth enabled cell phone. When I pair such a phone to my laptop via bluetooth, several services are displayed such as: object push, desktop control, mouse and media player, that is my aim to have the media player service when it is connected to android mobile. But the only available service it displays after pairing is the object push. What is wrong? Is avrcp the correct profile to work with? How to enable it? And how to access the controlling commands in my application? If not, then what is the alternative? My phone type is nexus one with rooted android2.2.1 stock rom.
