namebrandon, truly thanks for all your help. Sorry if my ignorance on the topic killed you. I do want to join the irc...I am not sure how to do that...sorry, very new to all of this but I do want to learn more! Thanks again for everything.
[Fascinate General] dc82:
namebrandon...still need help. I have downloaded the Voodoo Kernal I want to use and have it saved on my desktop. Can I install that using Odin? Also, I have downloaded the CWM update zip and I know you said place it on my SD card but where? I placed it on my SD card but not in a particular folder and rebooted into recovery and tried to install update.zip but that did not work. I have the voodoo kernal downloaded, I have the update.zip downloaded...I don't know where to go from here.
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
Go here for instructions on how to flash CWM

[Fascinate General] dc82:
...that might normally work, however, I have 0 room on my phone to install Rom manager or any app for that matter and I do not have rom manager on my SD card to restore...I need to manually put the update zip on my SD card and reboot into recovery to install it however...something is not working correctly.

@ Namebrandon - Can I install the Voodoo Kernal using Odin?
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
No. the zip must be flashed using cwm recovery. If I have some time later I'll upload an odin version of the voodoo kernels.
[Fascinate General] dc82:
JT thanks so much. I dont know if you got to read my convo back and forth with namebrandon to get the whole scoop on my situation.

Basically, I have the 0.00B issue, and namebrandon thinks if I just flash the voodoo kernal back on my phone everything will be back to working fine. The only problem is, I cannot flash your voodoo kernal back on my phone without ROM Manger, and I cannot get to ROM Manager because I have no storage space so I cannot even download it. The only way I can get anything on my phone it seems at this point is using Odin, if you could put up an Odin version of the Kernal, I would truly be thankful.
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
I uploaded the Odin version of the Voodoo kernel in my last file attachment. It says "only_zImage".

You can use this, or wait until someone tells you how to make your own. Why do you need one of your choosing? You're making this more complicated on yourself. Once you install the Voodoo kernel I posted via Odin, your space issues should be gone, then you can then install CWM, etc.. and re-flash whichever Voodoo kernel you want.
[Fascinate General] dc82:
the file you sent me has a zip extension and I know you told me to rename it leaving only the .tar extension however, my computer still shows it as a zip file. I guess I am not sure if I am doing that correctly. I downloaded the file and then selected it and then selected "rename" however, the file is in fact ending in .tar however, still has the zip file icon and when I look under properties it still says its a zip file. I even tried saving the file you uploaded as a .tar file after changing the file type from compressed (zip) file to "all documents"...that didnt work.
[Fascinate General] dc82:
namebrandon, I was able to flash the Voodoo file you uploaded for me using Odin however now, I am endlessly forceclosing and cannot even get to my homescreen. What do I need to do now? If anyone else has seen this, please let me know how I can get rid of this....
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
If you can get on IRC someone should be able to tell you how to mount /dbdata and wipe it from an adb shell. That will fix your FC issue.

If not, I'd recommend following this guide to remove Voodoo and start from scratch.

OK so here's the latest....I created a disable_lagfix file using notepad and placed it in the voodoo folder on my sdcard....sexy android voice comes on, says a few things and then says successfull....phone screen turns black and the home keys light up....its been like that for the past 40 minutes.....It cant take this long....can it?...something must be wrong still...anyone able to help with this?
[Fascinate General] dc82:
battery pull? Holding down the power button does nothing
[Fascinate General] Sithben24:
Thanks namebrandon, that odin voodoo file helped a lot. Got me out of the 0.0 hell. (Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon.) I haven't gotten the FC's like you did dc but here's a page that helped me. That disable_lagfix is a B. It never worked for me and made me go through the FC's and now the 0.0. Two whole days to fix it all.

Sorry couldn't post a link. PM me to send it to you or its on androidcentral forums.
[Droid 2 General] SnacksOnAPlane:
Can someone with a Droid 2 tell me what the Build.MODEL value is? Because of a bug in Droid X and Droid 2, I need to detect the devices and use a workaround. I know the Droid X MODEL string is "DroidX", so it's probably "Droid2", but confirmation would be nice!

The bug is that using TTS on the "alarm" audio stream causes beeping during phone calls. My app is "Good Morning" by Flywheel Consulting, for the curious. Thanks!

when i need to do a FULL wipe,

what exactly does that mean?

i mean,i do the date and cache, cache, and factory reset.

i think those are the three.

but there are the other three also.

like SD: ext partition erase,auto rotate erase and something else.

do i have to wipe that also?

what is that for?

do i have to wipe all that for a full wipe? or just the top three?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
Top 3 is a full wipe. I usually do all 2x when flashing a new ROM. Didn't u just post this exact q in another thread 2 seconds ago? Cmon buddy!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Something keeps trying to turn my 4G off when I'm not even using the 4G. I noticed it when I saw my switchpro 4G toggle was going crazy. 4G isn't even on, but it keeps turning off, if that makes any sense. I can go into the networks settings and watch it happen over and over every couple of seconds. It goes from "Turn on 4G" to "Turning off..." constantly.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm running the Fresh 3.3.0.1 with king's cfs 10 kernel.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I spent the last 2 hours wiping, flashing and restoring only to have it happen again. There was no problem when I loaded up a clean ROM, but somewhere between restoring with Titanium and running calkulin's sense removal script the problem came back.

I deleted SwitchPro and the problem is still there so I know it's not that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
1) quit using that crap ass titanium. Unless you dont mine your phone continuing to be jacked

2) quit using caulks script and just remove stuff yourself. Carefully... only remove basics like nfl nascar peep facebook twitter tweet and ithers dont go crazy deleting a bunch of **** just because.

There are certains programs that are linked to otgers and atripping things out incorrectly can make other things break and do all kinds of freaky wierd ****.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Titanium is pretty awesome and I have NEVER had an issue with it.

Calkulins script automatically deletes the exact same files I would delete manually, and really isn't crazy with the deleting like omegasun's is. No problem with that either.

Anyways, figured it out. System Info Widget was causing the problem. Deleted it, problem disappeared.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
I think the sprint updates and/or auto update reminders can shut down 4G. Is there a easy way to drop the auto update reminder?

Yeah, by updating your phone :p Don't do it if you're rooted though, instead flash a ROM based off the latest OTA.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
Well , i made this thread out of my own frustration.

What is coming on the so called 2.1 update -( From SE product blog )

* Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more [ obviously ]

* New backup and restore application with extended content back up [Who needs that??? ]

* Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phone book [ Oh wow:eek::mad::mad::mad: ]

* Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages[ Which 2010 android phone doesn't have that???]

* Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1 [ Really?? you kidding me??? :eek:]

What we really want on the mini's-

* Unlocked bootloader [ i dont want my 2.2 update when my grandchild will be using mozilla seabird ]

* Multi-touch [ I know its a small screen but i like to have an option ]

* 720P HD [ If the processor is capable , atleast 720p@15fps ]

* Revamped UI [ Pleasee..................................]

* Some more camera options

* JIT

SE is not going to give much on x10 minis/pros.

I don't think we will ever see 2.2 coming from SE.. Android is the base of their 2011 line up of phones... obviously they would like to spice up their new models...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yodd:
As far what I know...

1. Jit is useless on 2.2 course 2.2 uses compillar instead of interpritator 1.5,1.6, 2.0, 2,1...

2. 2.2 bases on arm v.7 instruction api set due to new powerfull chipsets (snapdragon & etc.). mini's Qualc. 7227 supports arm v.6 api instruction set.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] abhi98228:
audio quality also kinda sux very low bass
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ToTTenTranz:
I agree with JIT and multitouch (this phone would fly with JIT)

I'm also hoping for some updated sound codec drivers. The X10 Mini Pro has a lot better bass response (check the gsmarena review, I'm not yet allowed to post any links) and I'm hoping it's just a software tweak between both devices. It's a shame that the X10 Mini has almost no sub-30Hz at all.

However, 720p isn't really an option here.

There's no Qualcomm MSM7227 device with 720p recording, much less one with only 128MB RAM.

I'd be more than happy with 30fps WVGA recording with continuous autofocus, though.

Im new to the Vibrant world. What format are u guys using when converting your movies to put on the vibrant? ie MP4, AVI, ect.)..what screen size is better to use... thanks guys
[Vibrant General] gatesmarch123:
.3gp was the extension avatar used; it is a typical format for cell phones.I found a converter through google and it worked great, and it compresses the movies to very small file sizes as well...which is the main benefit of that file type.
[Vibrant General] kelkee:
cool...whats the name of the converter? how can I get it?
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Dvix, Xvid and Mp4 as well as M4v all play fine.

Dvdfab does Xvid/Dvix fine and Handbrake creates pretty good Mp4/M4v

The only reason I even bother with Mp4 and M4v is my wifes iTouch plays those otherwise I would just use all my Xvid/Dvix files on my phone.
[Vibrant General] pmnuon:
if you have vuze, let it automatically convert it for you, you don't have to mess with any settings, video looks great on my vibrant

I never convert my video files, this thing plays almost everything. That's why I bought it.

I use ffmpeg in a script initially designed for my ipod touch.

The parameters I'm using are:

ffmpeg.exe -acodec aac -vcodec mpeg4 -s 320x240 -sameq -b 15000k -vol 600 -i infile.dvr-ms outfile.mp4

I obviously haven't spent time optimizing this yet for my vibrant, but it works good enough for "The Daily Show".

I Second Handbrake

I use Handbrake and it works great. I have standardized all of my videos, computer or mobile, to MP4. I belive 3GP is very similar to MP4, if not basically the same. Handbrake creates great videos for the phone using the "iPhone" profile.
[Vibrant General] mr_hd:
I have vuse. How do I make it convert the files? Thanks
[Vibrant General] pmnuon:
just make sure your pc recognizes the vibrant thru usb, then startup vuze, make sure its the latest version of vuze. under devices in the left portion of the vuze ui you should see your vibrant listed. then just click that n drag n drop
[Vibrant General] ld006:
just use handbrake, its the best program if you don't really know what you're doing. I use MeGui myself but that's kind of advanced for most people

Hi guys

HTC Wildfire today have lanched in UAE and they are selling it for 190$ ( one week only )

without contract

the orginal price is 380$

Is it a good deal ?

Do you advice me to buy it ?

Do it have problems ?

Please answer quickly

thanks

Pretty good deal, you should go for it.
[Wildfire General] an9093:

The only - is the low res screen and bad cpu.

But there is great custom ROMS and nice overclock kernels, and soon the CyanogenMod 6.0 will be released for the Wildfire.

Buy it!

[Wildfire General] a1exander:

[Wildfire General] an9093:
what are the problems have faced you ?

and you install all games and apps you want ?

can you try and see if Windows Live Messenger work ?

what rooting will do to it ? i dont want to install anther software >>> so do you advice me to root it ? is there any other benfilts ?
[Wildfire General] a1exander:
Problems: Not really that much, only that not all games can run on the phone, and some can but run very slowly.

Yes, you install all games and apps you want?

I think you'll have to root the phone to manage to get the market on, if there's no market on the phone when you buy it. Its very easy to do, just download UnRevoked, plug in you phone and the program will pretty much do everything else. Then I recommend you installing a custom ROM, like openFire or Wildpuzzle ROM, and soon we will have CynaogenMod for Wildfire, which will make your phone alot faster.
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
I found 3 or 4 apps in the market that are MSN/ Live messengers. I personally use the Trillian app, than is a universal messenger app. It world on yahoo,MSN,gmail, even Skype networks.
[Wildfire General] a1exander:
And I personally use eBuddy.
[Wildfire General] bpye:
With the new openfire ROM I'd reccomend rooting and installing it, 5MFLOPS is almost twice stock speed.

Yep, just had the openFire 2.0 update, and damn. Its like a new phone, its awesome!

0. Make sure your build includes cifs.ko

1.GET yourself cifs-manager from Market.

2.install then mount your samba shares.

3. Don't forget to add your shares in Windows file sharing or samba in Linux.

Cifs-manager allows you to mount your samba shares on your local filesystem, so this allows you to be able to stream video/audio.

Either craigslist where new G2's are going for $400-450 or Costco where you can get a G2 for $450 without contract.

i stopped by a Costco in Anne Arundel, MD and they said they are not allowed to sell phones w/o contract.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmc1002001:
That always depends on the individual dealer as some love their commision so much they don't sell without contract. The one at Arundel Mills and Beltsville in MD won't sell without contract but the one at Pentagon City and Largo does. Go figure

anyway if u wanna buy from Costco, Just buy it for $99 $149 or whatever the two year price is and cancel after 15 days and pay your $200 ETF since Costco dealers doesn't charge additional ETF

[G2 and Desire Z General] acis:
The Costco dealers do make you sign an additional contract stating that you are liable to pay them an ETF in addition to Tmobiles ETF. This is basically stealing the phone. Tmobile will deny to pay the dealer the commission because the line isn't open. So the dealer just gave you a 99 dollar G2 that they bought for 450 or so. Some dealers will also charge the employee who activated the line back for the full price of the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] cmc1002001:
What page does it say you have to pay Costco a additional ETF. I'm looking at my friend's Vibrant contact and all they're contract says is that if you cancel, you should return the phone within 90 days so they can offer low prices. There's no additional ETF here?
[G2 and Desire Z General] flarbear:
I think you combined 2 comments and responded to a red herring. One comment was asking about Costcos that would sell the phone for full price without a contract (not stealing, just a different way to sell it) and another was asking about Costco ETFs. I don't think anyone was claiming that they could get it for $99 at Costco without a contract - that would get someone in some serious trouble... ;)

I guess I should add that if you were stating that you doubt that Costco doesn't have their own ETF, I agree that would be odd as it is common industry practice for 3rd parties to sell a subsidized phone and have their own ETF in addition to the carrier's ETF, but I wouldn't put it past Costco - they aren't your average 3rd party retailer and often have unique arrangements with manufacturers due to their membership store nature and the way they manage their bulk purchases.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Adam5400:
I don't think that the actual retail stores can negotiate at all, other than the occasional waiving of the new line activation fee (Not the upgrade fee). If you want a better deal you would have to call, and it honestly depends on your situation as to how much they are willing to give you (Regular reps might not be able to help either, you may have to contact loyalty). They also may require you to order it rather than get it from a direct dealer, but I'm not sure.
