I've just about given up. I downloaded all these programs, drivers, other stuff. I thought I had all the required software. I tried to run adb.exe and it just opens a command prompt and closes right away. I've tried searching and all the guides says download this....this..and this..once you have it all. And it starts from there.

The problem is i downloaded everything and I don't know if its working properly to start adb.

I hate this.

I've even thought about downloaded a whole other OS and running it from my USB drive to see if it's easier.

Anyone know of a good how to video?

I know that's what i'll be making as soon as I get this up and running.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scoochv:
Are you actually running adb through a command prompt or just double clicking the exe?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:

[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
Yep editing the path got it to work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
They are aren't they? The vid shows them in there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Corylulu:
if you are having that much issue setting the correct path, just go to your system 32 and copy over the CMD.EXE to the folder you are working in with Android. And then launch CMD from there.

Or just type into command prompt

PATH = %PATH%;C:/Android/Folder/Youre/Working/With/

EDIT:

I just watched your video. You have some problems in there

First, you aren't setting a new path, you are (attempting) to change your working directory in that video, however you are not doing it right.

You have to use the 'cd' command

C:\Current\Work\Space > cd C:\Change\to\this\space

C:\Change\to\this\space > adb devices

bleh bleh bleh bleh

But it would be better to just do the above method.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
In most cases, the instructions are pretty clear. If you read the instructions on installing the SDK, it tells you how to set the path.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

If you follow instructions, then you should be good to go.

If not, then you should be able to do something like a google query for "set path variable windows < whatever kind of windows you're running >"

If you're having a problem getting that stuff done, then maybe you should rethink rooting your phone. I don't know that anyone has bricked a G2 yet, but LOTS of folks bricked G1s. I think it's only a matter of time before someone figures out how to thoroughly break a G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mikey:
"Just to add, if you take adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll and copy or move them to the \windows\system32 directory you can run adb from any dos directory prompt."

Also, add the "ADB" directory path as a system variable in windows...

To do this right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Next select the Advanced tab(Advanced Settings in Vista) then select Environment Variables.

Click "New" under System Variables and add the following:

Variable: adb

Value: C:\android\tools

If you happen to upgrade to Win7 you can easily open the CMD by shift right-click inside the window itself.....applying the path automatically for you.

You will also have too use these drivers located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=802316

[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Thanks, looks like I'll be waiting it out. I didn't think it took this much know how to get sdk and adb running properly. I was able to change the path but ran into another brick wall. I type in abd devices to see if it was recognized and nothing. Like i said, I'll be waiting it out until a more permanent route can be found, and more support for rooting is available. Besides I don't think anyone wants to hold my hand and walk me thought the whole thing. It gets annoying, believe me I know. I'll be doing a how to video once I learn to get it all working and when a permanent root is available. I'll learn on XP and make the video using my Win 7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
The G2 isn't included in the current adb drivers that you download separately/with the SDK. You have to edit the inf file to have the G2 recognized. There has been at least 1, maybe a few threads with the lines to add here. I think there's a thread titled something like "I can't get adb to work with my phone" or something like that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
looks like i was doing it right. I was typing "abd" instead of 'adb" it founy device.

Now I guess the have to start sending the files over....

I typed "adb devices" and it picked up my device. with my phone's id number.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ACMilan07:
I am also about to give up. Some of us are new to Android.. we don't understand SDK and ADB and all these other programs. I do plenty enough reading.. but for some reason can't get these programs to run on Windows 7 x64.

I mean is their a newbs guide for the G2.. for rooting and such?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Yeah there is but you have to read like three guides and watch two videos to fnd everything you need. Ill try to make a quick how to after I finish up mine. I just have to push the apps/install the apps. Did you find the java jdk version. And do the commands on your computers cmp?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mikey:
I always used this guide:

[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs

Hope it helps :)

Use the drivers in post 11 in this thread

Unless you rooted your G2.........adb shell will NOT work.

ADB shell needs root access
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Thanks, I have already rooted my phone. Unfortunately my wifi tethering doesn't work. It always says no network access so I'm just going to leave the phone as is until the update comes in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
why not use VISIONary app to root the phone for you?

[Touch2 General] Hobbit13:
For a running project we moved from old HP PDAs to new HTC "Touch 2" smartphones. But unfortunately the bluetooth stack preinstalled on these devices isn't accepted by Labview Mobile applications, and the Widcomm stack in Labview is not compatible with this phone.

I did the following procedure to try and get the program working:

Labview BT stack

Hard reset of device

Turn on bluetooth, set to discoverable

Via LabView/Project Manager/ Windows Mobile 6 Device/ Install / "Support for Widcomm Bluetooth" install BT support on PDA, accept install on PDA.

Soft reset PDA, after reset the message "'BTTrayCE' is not a valid Pocket PC Application" is shown, and it's not possible to turn on BT.

By removing "BtCoreIf.dll" & "BtSdkCE30.dll" from the /Windows dir on the PDA, and soft reset, BT will turn on again.

Start Labview application (StimCom CRE_PDA.exe)

Select 'Search for BT devices'

StimCom CRE_PDA.exe will crash, and WM asks for error reporting

notes: method above installs Widcomm stack for Windows mobile version 3. The program is listed on the PDA as "NI Labview Pocket PC Bluetooth support 7.1". Uninstalling this program from the 'remove programs' will fail.

On the clean HTC image "BtSdkCE50.dll" and "BtSdkCE30.dll" are present in the Windows directory, so I assume that both v3 and v5 of the Widcomm stack are allready installed.

This leads to the conclusion that Widcomm v3 stack is needed, but the one provided with Labview is not compatible to this system, and the version present on the device is not compatible with Labview.

(v4 doesn't exist)

Step 1 till 3 are enough to get the Labview program running on a Sony Erricson Eperia with "Jack v5.0" WM6.5 firmware (the same BT hardware?) and on a HTC Touch with a Dutch WM 6.0.

According to http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372508B-01/lvpdagsm/pda_install_widcomm/ when both the "BtSdkCE30.dll" and "BtSdkCE50.dll" are already present, you must only copy LVBtw.dll into the Windows folder of the device. I tried that as well, but the program still crashed as soon as you try the bluetooth connection.

I also tried to copy "BtCoreIf.dll" & "BtSdkCE30.dll" from the /Windows dir of a Xperia WM6.5 (Custom firmware "Jack v5.0" (International English) because that device also had WM6.5 and the program worked fine on that device. But on the HTC Touch 2 it gave the "'BTTrayCE' is not a valid Pocket PC Application" error.

The same error is given when I try to install the Widcomm stack for x51v ( http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/...widcomm-axim-x50v-x51v-state-development.html ), and the same error is given if I copy these files from the Broadcomm SDK (BTWCE-1_7_1_5201-SDK.zip)

Firmware of the HTC Touch2 NLD:

R 3.48.25.27

G 61.41t.25.31H

D 1.28.66092

Any suggestions on how to fix the problems with the BT stack?

(install custom firmware is not an option, due to legal issues)

Thanks in advance.

I would like to replace the Samsung contacts application with something that will allow me to search the Exchange GAL. My boss's Droid X will do it, I can't believe that this functionality is missing. I really don't like Swift Contacts either (mostly I don't like that I'd have to pay for functionality that should really be there and the fact that you can't move contacts it finds over to your phone contacts).
[Android Software Development] Aitak07:
Hello,

I wanted to know if WIFI and 3G (data) can be connected at the same time.

My goal is to achieve network mapping manually.

For example, I'm connected on WIFI, when the RSSI reaches a threshold, I switch to 3G and redirect everything to/from 3G, and when the WIFI threshold is good again, I switch everything back to WIFI, so no disconnection happens "for the user".

The "switch" will be done by modifying the routing table.

Has anybody achieved this, and give me a clue of how to proceed, or is the WIFI/3G connected at the same time is possible or not ?

Thanks.

This link says that the HD7 is the same HD2 with different OS.. So i guess the drivers designed for the HD7 should work in HD2. And it uses the same processor QSD 8250..So Wht yu People think?
[HD2 General] bracken21:
I Dont see where it says it uses the QSD 8250 ? it only states a 1ghz cpu, could be any model. But we could be lucky :)

qsd8250

And its clear enough here

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_hd7-3338.php

And microsoft had given their own drivers for the gpu ADRENO 200 (which the hd2 uses, it will increase the performance by 200% it seems).. And only qsd8250 is certified by windows for now. tats y htc released all four phones with qsd 8250 while desire hd uses qsd8255 with adreno 205

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
I have been suffering this ever since I got my Incredible, and I hope someone has an answer.

I use HTCSync to sync my Incredible with Outlook. All of my birthday/recurring events are verified to be "Reminder: NONE"

However, I cannot get the phone to STOP chiming and flashing etc. on these either. This morning, as an example, was a birthday of someone who is not on facebook (so there is no secondary event that I am missing). Still the flashing and chiming.

I do NOT want to silence every possible reminder, I just want the Incredible to honor the "REMINDER: NONE".

Any thoughts?

Spare Parts tells me my phone isn't sleeping, but partial wake doesn't show any apps keeping my phone awake. I'm starting to get tired of hooking my phone up to the charger every few hours.

Sent from my HTC Evo
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
Is there a question you'd like to ask?
[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
So if you look at partial wake usage, it doesn't show any applications that are responsible for the majority of partial wake? The goal is to figure out what process or application is screwing up. It might be annoying but maybe you should hard reset or reflash your current ROM then take your time reinstalling apps so you can get an idea of what may be acting up.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I have the same issue from time to time. I notice my battery draining too fast. Check the partial usage and I don't see any high percentage.

Then I look at Other, and android is at like 80% but screen on is only like 8%, so something is keeping my phone aware.

I checked system panel history, and I don't see anything keeping it awake.

I don't know of any good way to find out what is going on.
[EVO 4G General] kho3000:
I actually caught it happening to me this morning, also it happens from time to time at night when I'm not charging it overnight.

I've heard that apps like LauncherPro hinder it from going into sleep mode however I can't necessarily confirm it's the culprit.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
launcher pro does not hinder it from going into sleep mode when it is running correctly.

if you have system panel see if your cpu usage is at 100% constantly if it is it may be a run away process. i would try wiping dalvik and cache and rebooting seeing if it fixes it.

Something else you can try is hooking it up to the computer and running adb logcat on it and see if you can get anythign from that. I have seen mine occasionally when i start up have 4g on even though i normally have it off. When i turn 4g off it looks like it is off however it continues scanning behind the scenes on log cat aso i ahve to wipe cache etc and ussually fixes it.

the problem is witht he ifnormation you have given us is it could be anything.
[EVO 4G General] tauzins:
if u have qik installed that might be it, b/c ive noticed HUGE battery gains with it uninstalled
[EVO 4G General] chessmyantidrug:
I'm not sure what other information I need to offer here. I have had some issues with my phone refusing to sleep before, but it would go away with a simple restart. Now it doesn't matter what I do, it just refuses to sleep. I'll purchase System Panel and see if it tells me anything. Spart Parts doesn't show anything out of place on partial wake usage.
[EVO 4G General] jbiddy4:
Tango was causing my phone to wake by itself and drained the battery like crazy.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
If your phone is rooted, try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache a couple of times. That worked for me.
[EVO 4G General] chessmyantidrug:
Wiped dalvik cache twice and my phone still won't sleep. I don't want to reinstall my ROM and install apps one-by-one to get to the bottom of the issue. Any other suggestions?

Have you tried warm milk?
[EVO 4G General] chessmyantidrug:
Yes. I also tried Nyquil and hydrocodone. No dice.
[EVO 4G General] chessmyantidrug:
I purchased System Panel and I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. I don't see anything that looks suspicious. Partial wake usage in Spare Parts shows UID 10094 atop the list and by a good margin with a total time of 52 minutes. Next is UID 10019 at 5 minutes and 32 seconds, and Android System at 5 minutes and 2 seconds. My phone has been unplugged for 3 hours and 22 minutes; the battery is at 64%.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
ok once you have system panel you need to let it run for about 8 hours (preferably as mucha you can un pluged) then yuo can go to Menu>moniter, history and where it shows plot click it and select apps it should then show you a list of apps based on cpu usage.

I would see if any apps are abnormally high compared to the other apps) if so that may be your problem .also if system process is high yuo can click on it and it shoud llist the process individually (if it is a system process your only real options are to wipe all reflash if wiping dalvik and cache didnt work).

Lastly if you still cant find the problem i sugest hooking the pc to the computer and running adb logcat. watch it and see if anything is looping weirdly. If yuos till cant find it sorry to say i would go with the reflash rom install apps slowly till you figure it out.
[EVO 4G General] chessmyantidrug:
It's been running since around 2 this morning. It's almost 3 now. The only thing that's above 10% is System Processes. When I touch it to look at all the processes, suspend tops the list at 16.4% over the last 8 hours, 40.4% over the last 2 hours.
[EVO 4G General] chessmyantidrug:
My phone has recently decided to sleep ... sometimes. I haven't changed anything. I haven't removed any apps, flashed any ROMs, or wiped dalvik cache since doing it the first time. Spare Parts still shows UID 10094 is keeping my phone awake more than anything else. I would appreciate any insight into what UID 10094 is.
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
Noob here. How do I know if my phone is sleeping or not?

You can go to Settings > About phone > Battery and it will give you Up time and Awake time. I just use Spare Parts because it's a lot easier.

Suspend remains as the most active process on my phone. My phone has been unplugged for a little under three hours and it's down to 67% with zero use.

Hi, this is more of a opinion question than a 'question' question. Hopefully the great devs in the forum see this and find a way to port it. Please vote in the poll and if you have an opinion to say please write them. Just respect other members. Your opinions such as "why would you want a port?" Aren't really Nessecary.

Thanks:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Most of your options don't make "sense", so I can't vote! :)

Whilst it may be possible to port WP7 to the Desire hardware, your first two poll options are to port WP7 to Android which is nonsensical!

Personally, from what I've seen of WP7 so far, there is nothing that makes me want to move away from Android at present, but that doesn't preclude it happening in the future. However, if I did want to move to WP7, I'd almost certainly buy a phone dedicated to it rather than attempt to cobble together something on an Android phone.

Dave

even if it was possible, which it's NOT, none of the developers here would do it as its ILLEGAL, we dont own a LICENCE for wp7, it would be no diffrent to distributing PIRATE copy's of windows 7....

indeed, most of us here bought an android device because we wanted to customise our phones or because we got tired and annoyed with other OSes(especially WM, urg...!{yeah, I know I have the HD2, it pisses me off...=.="'}), but if there are any developers porting WP7, I'd like to see it emulated only.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Oh, I didn't know it was illegal. Guess no one would port it then. But maybe a good emulator would be nice. I wish I had bought a HD2 now...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Given that Windows Phone 7 is not Windows Mobile, it would probably technically be illegal to run it on an HD2 too, though since you'd have effectively paid some kind of licence fee to MS, they would be more likely to turn a blind eye I guess!

It's by no means certain that it would be any easier though!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
that would be down to microsofts discretion, previously they havent made much of an issue out of us porting newer versions of windows mobile to, older windows mobile devices, and imo i dont think they would start now, ie porting wp7 to the HD2 ect.... but i cant see them sitting back and letting people port wp7 to a device with no microsoft licence all together. they didnt get to be the biggest company in the world by letting things like that slide
