[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutal-Force:
Hi, I currently use the HTC EVO, and I gifted my G1 to my daughter in Germany. Since I figured many here have had similar devices before the EVO that somone could help since the G1 forum is kind of dead, and my question is going unanswered.

I had it rooted, but decided for the sake of simpleness to unroot it. I am American but my daughter is German American. Her English is decent enough, but for technical reasons I am having a hard time explaining how to root.

She uses her cell with a Sim card for phone (without data plan) and uses WiFi for the internet. Well she was able to root and install recovery, but now she is stuck. She can not log into her account because she can not set up the Wifi. I know the current Froyo rom allows you to simple skip login so you can set everything up.

It has been a while since I have messed with the G1 (6mos. or longer) so I am pretty unfamiliar with current ROMs. She needs a ROM that has German Language/keyboard support, and one that will allow her to bypass login to set up wifi, and should be able to do Apps to SD card. I do not think that she did the DangerSPL, so any ROM should also contain instructions if it requires SPL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsoundwave:
I'll check CM6 for you on my old G1 when I can take a look at it. It has all the requirements you need, but not 100% on the German. I also forgot what SPL yo need for it, but I'll figure that out if you give me a few hours.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] htc_Tomi:
hello to all in the android touch pro 2 community,

I have tried out the latest (10/13) android build on my TP2 without much luck.

I'm someone with a visual impairment who would use talkback (screen reader) which uses the Android's text-to-speech in order to read the screen.

I got some sighted help attempting to turn talkback on, and found to my dismay that there was no speech. I am using xdandroid, from the android project-this seems to be the only build which has the speakerphone working out of the box.

Could anyone please help me in either building a release containing text-to-speech or tell me what I can do to have a functional and working copy of talkback on my touch pro 2?

I would love to try this on my touch pro 2. It would be great and I do not want to let something as small as blindness limit me in what I can accomplish.

Thank you so much for all your imput,

all the best,

Tomi

htc_tomi,

From what I have read, most of the other applications that use voice and such, needs to have the speakerphone activated prior to booting android.

These are the steps, to the best of my recollection.

While in WinMo call your voice mail and turn on the speakphone, while the prompts are being played boot xdandroid and halfway through the boot the voice prompt sounds will cease, you will have a hum / buzz in the speaker (don't worry), once android has booted play a sound that should stop the hum / buzz. And according to what I have read that is how gthey got google voice to work.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] htc_Tomi:
hi,

thanks for that tip. I've read about this too but saw updates that they've fixed sound to work in the latest development build.

What strikes me strange is that there is no "text-to-speech" option in the settings of Android. Usually there's a text-to-speech setting on Android phones in the main screen.

This is what lead me to think that TTS has somehow been omitted from this release, though I have no way of verifying this yet...

All the best,

Tomi

So, I've been wanting to root and "Flash" my phone with custom roms etc.. Well I have it update to JI6 (2.1-update1) would I still be able to root it? Can I use the one click root or would I would to do the manual one?

I wanted to install a custom rom once doing, and I've read through the threads and got a basic understanding of it but I'm still confused. Why am I "Flashing" it, like what is flashing.

Maybe theirs a thread I'm missing that explains all this, if so sorry.

I have more questions but I'll see if I still need them answered when these get answered
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Read my first post in the general section sticky. I hit on all of this. I would be happy to answer any detailed question after you read it.

Flashing is just a term for installing the .zip file that is the rom.

Bionix 1.9.1 is amazing.

I personally would root manual. I did it from ji6, worked perfectly. I would also download the file straight to your phone and not even worry about your pc. Just use an app like astro to rename it and then move the file to sdcard/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Be sure to go to koushs thread and get rom manager and clockwork recovery setup. This is also in the sticky.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvande:
Ok thanks very much, I looked at your thread. I come from an iphone so this is all very differnt for me. Whats the difference between a rom and a kenerl?

And I found this little youtube series about flashing a galaxy s, would this be good to get a general idea of this from? (http: //ww w.you tube . co m/watch?v =E90MyE D94OY&p=C8D58129 7770EB5B&playnext=1& index= 77)

I wanted to flash it with the rom bionix 1.9.1, but when I go to download theres like "bionix 1.9.1 w/stock kernel" and "bionix 1.9.1 w/kingklick OC/UV kernel", etc.. which one do I want? Whats the differnece?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecjake:
same here. im confused about this too. Im also confused about how it says "put onto the root of SD card". I have absolutely no idea what that means.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvande:
I understand that and I can explain it, when you connect your vibrant and put it into mass storage mode, you'll get 2 "Removable disks" on your computer, put the .zip onto the root of the removable disk with around 16gb of max space.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
A rom is basically the entire android 2.1.1, but with the tweaks from the developers. The kernel can be included with a rom, or you could just flash it over the stock jfd or ji6. The reason most flash another kernel is so they can overclock their processor. Jac's oc/uv (overclock and undervolt). I am running at 1.2GHz thanks to JAC.

If you do not want to overclock just get 1.9.1 stock, though I'm a huge fan of JAC's.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Put on the root = not in a folder. You want the internal memory, sdcard/... Not the external (sd card) sdcard/sd/

ok so heres the issue,,,some one the command where not working on my stock donut running on my mytouch 3g (original) i thought this maybe be why my "checkin" request always errored out so i decided to reflash/reinstall donut. the file i used was from the google server but didnt not install. it gave me a few error about the bootloader and aborted. ever since this was done i cannot get a signal. my tmo card gives shows 3g but doesnt not connect to data and my at&t sim doesnt show a signal period (both apn's are entered and are correct)

any idea on how to fix this? or how to correctly flash the official donut file?

Update: the phone did a wipe so im back at the login menu for the google acct so now i cant even access the sd card and i dont have a reader. is there another way to get to the card and add/remove files with usb to phone?

[Epic 4G General] <3me:
its sad i want one but what does it do that my phone cant?

same specs too right?
[Epic 4G General] Inferno4213:
Yeah, it doesn't seem like the tab has anything on the epic at all other than screen size. It seems like a very introductory product that won't be anywhere near the level of the iPad (as much as I hate to say it). I'm sure if we give it another year there will be one that's better than the iPad.
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
personally, i am a "pocket guy" when it comes to phones. i dont do clips. the Epic is about as big as I'd get and still be able to pocket the sucker.

i just dont get devices like the Tab or the dell streak or whatever hitting that 5-7 inch mark and still marketing it as mobile as a phone. i feel like they're trying to copy apple and invent a new product, the ipad was a risk but its paying off, i feel like these other companies would do better to directly copy the ipad and make an even larger device like 9-10 inches, a true tablet. i'm not digging the phone/tablet crossovers, to me its too big to be a phone and too small to be a tablet and get FULL web browsing capability.

just my .02
[Epic 4G General] Grogck:
If the wifi-only version price really is $500 that'll torpedo it right there considering the base wifi-only iPad is the same price. I love my Epic, but if I had to choose between those 2 I'd get the iPad. Put the wifi-only version of the Galaxy tab at $350 and then it makes more sense IMO.
[Epic 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
Fail haha
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
But you wouldn't have access to all the paid apps on the android market that you purchased if you chose the ipad.

And the modding possibilities!

The Tab also lasts longer than a epic..battery wise. Its a great home multitasking utility. I would def use it as a ereader/movie player as well as automating some tasks in my home.
[Epic 4G General] Inferno4213:
Regardless, if that's what you're looking for, the iPad is MUCH better. I'm a huge fan of Android & I dislike Apple but the tab is really the iPad's little brother. It just doesn't compare.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
I'll wait for 2nd Gen looks cool though, I'd love to have an android OS pad
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
That doesn't make any sense. The Galaxy Tab is nothing like the iPad. If you wanna compare things compare the iPad to every other tablet that came before it. Comparing the Galaxy Tab is like comparing it to the Blackberry Playbook.

Eh... if I were to get a tablet, it would probably be an iPad. I have android on my phone. I don't need a replicated device on a larger screen. I'd also have more games to play on the iPad which would be fun :)
[Epic 4G General] epakrat75:
HDMI out (via dock), for starters.
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
Well wifi version is gonna be 5 or 600. Im sure the distributors will catch on that in order to compete they are gonna have to lower it. If you compare its functionality to that of a nook or a kindle it does alot more with the same size. It may be pricy but the price is right unless the playbook can beat it but I doubt it with those specs. I just want something that matches my epic on my desk. lol

[Epic 4G General] latinmaxima:
I agree with the last post referring to engadget. It does things that people would want. And if in fact a wifi only verson comes out I would get it. I wouldn't turn down an ipad either so it really just depends on what the price does launch as.
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
Just found out there is no wifi version. Google wont allow the market on a wifi version.

I R EPIC FAIL. Well guess im not getting it. Dont need 2 3g connections
[Epic 4G General] pyroswithoutfire:
I just don't see the point in getting an Android tablet right now. Most of the things I would do on it I can do with my phone. HDMI might be cool but I never used it when I had my EVO. As some others said if it is the same price as the iPad and I had to choose between the two I would probably go with the iPad since it has different options. Hopefully as time goes on though this changes to some degree. I think if they wanted Android tablets to be successful they need to be cheaper than the iPad.
[Desire General] ant_thomas:
Is there a way to be 100% sure whilst roaming that the data connection doesn't send or receive any data?

I realise there's a setting to disable the mobile network whilst roaming but does this make sure not even 1byte is sent?

I'm more than happy to use WiFi when available but can't afford any roaming charges. Could some widgets force data use even when disabled? Possibly beautiful widgets clock and weather?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
As far as I'm aware, it doesn't sent any data, but if you're that worried about it, turn mobile network off via the widget or the power menu.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
So as the thread title state, i flashed with one click odin for captivate my i9000m unlocked phone. But i'm not (well i am definately) dumb enough to just do it out of the blue. It started when i updated my jh2 to jp6/jpm through kies registry hack. then rooted then oclf. Everything worked fine until i started moving apps to sd. I rebooted and i only had a bootloop... Got into download mode, flashed 1000 firmwares, tried every combination, etc. Finally found out that my /sdcard was corrupted and couldn't properly flash a firmware since the filesystem wasn't efs anymore. So i seen the odin one click for captivate with the big MASTER CLEAR, which i though (i damn myself for thinking so...) it may return my partition to rfs and that i could easily flash another firmware then...

So now i am stuck with a "bricked" bell i9000m with the at&t logo booting in loop and can't access recovery or download mode (think the flash may have remapped the buttons?) and when i plug usb it turns off.

So, here are my 2 questions,

1- is there a way (other than jtag, can't afford one and not really good at this stuff) to change at least the boot logo/bootloader or unbrick it?

2- Would there be a way to send it back to samsung (would obviously not accept it as it is...) any chance to physically format everything on the chip?

Please, ANY help would be greatly appreciated

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

PS: sorry if it is not in the good section
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zetalai:
1. JTAG is your best shot, and you don't have to get one yourself. Coz some shops got RIFFBOX for JTAG and now it do support I9000. Rumors said you MAY get into download mode if you try 3 button mode many many times...

2. You can TRY giving it into a samsung service centre and hope they can repair it for you. They seems to have some other way to write a bootloader through USB even when the original bootloaders are dead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
For the JTAG, anyone around quebec city (or may ship in canada?) Also, is the 3 mode button would be the same or switched for recovery? (if we can actually get in download mode in such state).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zetalai:
On the website of RIFFBOX, I can only find one in Toronto

someone suggested in another thread that if you jump two pins of the usb connector with a 5k resistor, it would boot it into download mode...........but it was only suggested, and no one has confirmed it. probably dangerous, but if your phone is being sent in anyways, might as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
Do you mean (i'm still on the warranty) that since the phone is bricked, THEY say it is out of warranty and make me pay (500$, the price i paid for the phone:confused:) to have it repaired, or did you meant that IF i was not on the warranty anymore (i still have receipt, etc), then they would charge me?

And if i want it repaired, i should probably contact repair service directly or service center?

Also, as for the resistor part, would you have the thread somewhere? (post or pm?) would maybe also check a howto since i am not quite the resistor guy...

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
whom ever you talked to at the store, they were just being some arses

in Tonronto you got to most Bell stores they will fix it or send it to the repair center under warranty as long as you have the receipt, from Bell or bell partners stores

if you do not have a receipt you will need to talk to samsung canada and get them to tell you their local authorized NON Bell repair center, then you can go there and have it fixed

and they will definitely not charge you $500, average cost is anything from Free, to $45, to $75 or more depending on what they need to repair if any hardware part at all
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
Hi, thank you for your answer, i didn't contacted the store i bought it from yet (lasource/thesource). So you say i could only walk in with the box, bricked galaxy and the receipt and they would send it for repair? (even if they check and see it boot with the at&t logo?) and if they only ask what is the problem, what could i say? it only reboot or should i precise it reboot with a at&t logo? (and if they ask me how it happened? :S) Just want to know what i should say and not to avoid voiding my warranty. (also, i should avoid bell center but lasource/thesource which is only a reseller should be ok?)

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zetalai:
In my case

As there's no repair centre in Hong Kong, I have to go to samsung directly

And Samsung Hong Kong is famous for terrible after service

They say it is my own problem and will not try any way to reflash even there's a way to do it as the warranty doesn't cover this problem.

The only choice they give me is to pay about 500USD to change the board.

That's what likely happen if you send it to Samsung...you might get your warranty voided as well...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sackofnoise:
