[Legend Android Development] Mr.Pigeon:
Thanks for the link! Is it safe to flash this file to my phone (cm7), or should I just copy the host file manually?
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Should be safe to flash just don't forget to make a nandroid backup (as you always should)
[Legend Android Development] Mr.Pigeon:
For those S-ON Legend users still having difficulty getting adfree working, try these commands instead of those in the OP:

1. adb reboot recovery
2. start recovery-windows
3. adb shell mount /system
4. adb shell mount /sdcard
5. adb shell mount /data
6. adb shell cp /sdcard/hosts /data/data/hosts
7. adb shell ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts
8. adb reboot

[General Questions and Answers] misub:
I have used many phones trying to find the best one for me. It has be Windows Mobile with external keyboard and to be honest the one I always go back to is the HTC S620.

This is because it has the best screen appearance for web use. Even before I installed the 3EVO rom I had no problems viewing web pages with Internet Explorer but the rom just made it better. I do not like the zoom in/out etc. it is so time wasting and awkward. I just want a page to adapt to the size like the S620 does.

I tried Xperia x1 with the latest rom using Opera mini, HTC Snap S521 latest rom and now Samsung i780 and to me they are all terrible when viewing web sites. I have tried the netfont browser v4.1 but it looks amaturish compared with Microsoft Internet explorer on the S620.

Why change?

The S620 is not 3G and as I have an unlmited data plan I use the web a lot. If it was possible to change the S620 to 3G, I know it's not, I would.

Can any one tell me, possible screen resolutions, why this is so?
[Droid Incredible General] Epicardium:
This sounds awkward, doesn't it?? Comitting to the use of Microsoft services when I own a Google-branded phone. Well, here's why I think it's the right move.

Of course, you must maintain your Google account in order to use your phone, market, etc....but MS recently unleashed a slew of updates that make the end-user experience very fluid, IMO.

Because hotmail now supports exchange for contacts, calendar, and email, integration with AOSP android ROMs is nearly as seamless as the gmail equivalents. Once you've set up your exchange account (note that the Sense email app has some problems with this), you're good to go. Contacts, calendar and email entries sync two-ways without issue.

Where MS really shines now is in the desktop experience, particularly if you're using a Windows 7 machine. The new suite of Windows Live applications work very well with the online services. And the new Hotmail interface and functionality is right up there with Gmail. I actually prefer the aesthetics of Hotmail much more now, and I haven't found anything that I can't do with it that I've done with Gmail in the past. Threaded messaging, filters, etc. It's all there. There still isn't the concept of labels, but I never sort email into multiple categories anyway. Could be a deal-breaker for some.

I'm not a MS fanboy or rep. I run Linux at home part of the time, and I've been on Gmail for eons (after coming from Yahoo! Mail). I just can't ignore the tight integration between mobile, cloud, and desktop services that MS is heading toward. They seem like they've jumped ahead of the competition. Perhaps when the Chrome OS is finally released this will change. Wait and see, I guess.

Any other Hotmail users with the Incredible?? How is your experience? I've only made the switch within the last day.

EDIT: Just kidding! Everything was chugging along nicely until I realized you could only sync one exchange calendar. It's a limitation of Android, not Hotmail. But as it is, I need my multiple calendars. Back to Gmail. Fun while it lasted. Will be back to Hotmail if ever Android supports multiple calendars on an exchange client.

I reinstalled packages and then my vibrant booted up all the way and worked fine. Today i went into samsung kies to get the JI6 update, everything worked and then the same problem, it would just go to a black screen after the galaxy s logo.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MichaelVS:
So about 1-2 months ago, I switched to Android on my HD2, but this wasn't a very good rom. Whenever I turned the screen off, it would only light up black (wtf). It stated the battery was empty all the time. And when I had to restart my phone, and tried booting into android again, it would either freeze on the bootscreen, or it would be the darkest screen ever. Sometimes both.

So I ask; What is the most stable setup to date, for HD2? :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ark2020:
I would also like to know which is the most stable Android build to-date (i am not bothered with the HTC Sense layar).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubbingt:
I agree ^^

Right now I'm using mdeejays evo sense 2.3 revolution and upgraded the kernel with Hastarin R8 and it is very stable!!

Its gonna depend on many factors such as what WM rom you're running and what radio as well. I would recommend you get chuckdroid WM rom, a good recent radio, and either evo sense 2.3 or Bangsters 1.5 (if you dont want sense) Ive had good results with both.

I like my setup (in my sig). There's a new skinnyEVO v1.5, and since I haven't tried it, I can't speak of its stability.

The issue you'll encounter in most Android builds is data dropping, which is caused by using PPP (not RMNET) connection. This can be 'fixed' by turning on/off airplane mode.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dazzyb2k3:
I'm on O2 in the UK. Using the latest Sense version of the PhireMOD Skinny EVO (v1.5) with 2.15 radio and the latest Chucky ROM 23139 ~ 3.14. Rock solid stability and very smooth and fast. I get an occasional data drop but that's the same with every PPP build. Battery life with light usage is approx 2 days.

Just upgraded to V8 kernal and it's smoother than ever. Best andriod build i've used - apart from the data drops (which is not the fault of the build) it's pretty much perfect for me. The key is to get the right combination of radio/wmrom/andriod. Unfortunately it seems to be different for different people so just a case of trial and error until you find the right combo. In my case the switch to 2.15 radio solved a lot of issues.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
There is no guaranteed catch all perfect setup. what may run perfectly fine for me may run absolutely horrible for you. Different strokes for different folks.

Factors you have to consider:

SD Card (class, size, whether is SDHC or not, how it is formatted, cluster size)

Battery calibration (does your battery last a long time in WinMo?)

Your own knowledge (if you cannot be bothered to search for any simple problems then you WILL get frustrated trying to run Android)

the best way you can find out the best setup for you is trial and error.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tonyh0905:
Sorry for the noob question, but can somebody describe data dropping to me?

I got a HD2 from work on the weekend, so the first thing I did was install android ;)

I installed: Radio_2_14_50_04, and FroyoStone_Sense_V3.2. This combo is working fine and seems stable.

The problem I had yesterday was that I could not access the internet although I had a strong 3g or H signal. The problem would suddenly disappear and access would be fine for a few minutes and then no access again. Access seems more consistant today.

Battery life seems a problem too, it was fully charged at 7am this morning and was down to 5% by 5pm, that was with mild usage apart from about an hour mp3 and 30 min gps.

Any of this sound normal for android on a HD2?

[Droid X General] mobidoc:
I downloaded the files from the "one click" link for Windows rooting for the Droid X from this site. Got the following message from Zone Alarm Security Suite:

Exploit.Linux.Lotoor.g was found in D:\Downloaded\android-sdk_r07-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin on 10/30/2010 10:51:16

ZA rated virus as High Risk and automatically quarantined the code. Rooting procedure was followed otherwise without a hitch, but it failed.

Question is: Is this a false alarm, code is legit and necessary...or is there a linux trojan in this software?

I see others have asked similar without an answer. So I thought I'd post the exact location of the download and the alleged virus.

Thanks!

[Android Software Development] luitron:
Hello All,

I am working on learning about SQLITE and I came across a a problem I can't seem to find a solution to.

I have the following code to create a table and then insert some info. The problem is that every time I refresh I adds another insert. I been searching around and I have tried several of methods but can't seem to make it work:

db = openDatabase(shortName, version, displayName, maxSize);
db.transaction(
function(transaction) {
transaction.executeSql(
'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS info ' +
' (name VARCHAR, lastname VARCHAR);'
);
}
);
db.transaction(
function(transaction) {
transaction.executeSql(
'INSERT OR REPLACE INTO info (name, lastname) VALUES ("Jose", "Lopez");'
);
}
);
});

What am I missing? Every where I search it said that if I use "NSERT OR REPLACE INTO" it would insert if it doesn't exist but if it does it would replace the info. It just keeps adding a new row. Any suggestions? :confused:

Thank you in advance.
[Android Software Development] mixerman826:
Not sure, but since there's no index on the table to force unique rows, it'll just keep inserting a new row.
[Android Software Development] luitron:
I search and read about it so I added "id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT" and also learn about "TEXT UNIQUE" and added that as well. So it looks like this:

transaction.executeSql(
'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS info ' +
' (id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, ' +
' name TEXT UNIQUE, lastname TEXT UNIQUE);'
);

it worked like a charm! Thanks for pointing me into the direction. Thank you so much!

Trying to side load it now, but I can't seem to get droid explorer to work. sigh.....

It connects to the phone fine, but then when I go to install the package, it gives me a new window that wants to install something. I don't really remember that window coming up in the past, but to be honest it's been quite awhile since I've used droidexplorer... So I click isntall, and the program immediately crashes.

So, I put the file on my web server, and downloaded it from there. (Got some annoying lovely messages about the phone being out of space until I cleared the browser download list....) It downloaded fine, but when I go to install it, I get "Parse Error There is a problem parsing the package."

On an odd hunch, I started poking around the file structure in DroidExplorer, and was able to pull my own MarketUpdater.apk out and save it to the computer. So I threw that on the webserver, and was able to download it fine, AND re-install it. No idea if that will actually DO anything, but hey, figured it was worth a shot.

So now that I've waited 15 minutes after reinstalling the marketupdater.apk, (big surprise) nothing's changed.

EDIT:

Went to grab a sandwich for lunch, and decided to pop into the ATT store since it was right next to where I was eating. Asked one of the reps that I have a pretty good relationship with about the issue, and he said a customer came in not too long ago with the same issue, and the only resolution was a system wipe. Hopefully we can get around it...Of course, if not, and I do have to do a wipe, I'll just upgrade to 2.2....

Hi i get this battery from my friend.its made for htc hd 2 but when i put the battery into my phone the phone keeps rebooting itself.i can see the energy logo at the beginning and the screen goes off and starting again.i was trying to recharge the battery in the dock station but seems not working

Any ideas?

Thanks
[HD2 General] InfX:
If the battery has been laying around for quite some time, it should now be completely empty, close to 0V, a state those batteries should never be allowed to reach. This can easily cause what you are describing.

The best thing to try in order to revive it is probably just charging it externally, either in some special commercial product intended to do just that, or using a lab power supply (set the voltage to 4.2V, set the current limiter to about 700mA connect the battery, when the voltage finally climbs back to those 4.2V, disconnect it).

Anyway, if doing what i've described isn't an option, try just keeping the phone connected to it's charger, with that battery in, for 15..20 minutes, it may eventually be able to charge it enough to get out of this state.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Return to stock. No more Verizon Navigation. You do need Google maps / navigation installed.

Ripped from Mesmerize, de-odexed.

Before adding this to your device, make sure you've renamed /system/app/CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex (or move them, etc..)

Then just add the new .apk to /system/app. I use adb to push, but as long as you get the file there in /system/app it should be fine. You do not install this .apk, just copy it.

adb push CarHome.apk /system/app

All done.

If you see any FC, just reboot. Post up with any issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] jerkules:
Ok, I'm not sure I am doing it right in ADB. I can get my phone recognized but when I try to push the .apk to system/app it tells me that it failed to copy and Permission Denied. Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
You can just put it on your card and move it with root explorer. See how that works.
[Fascinate Android Development] jerkules:
Thanks for the help. I got it moved over using Super manager instead of Root Explorer. I restarted my phone but I don't see anything different other than the fact that now when I press Voice Search, I get a Force Close. The Navigation button is still linked to VZ Navigator. What exactly is meant by de-VZW'd? I do have google maps/nav installed FWIW.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
You are rooted, right? I'm guessing you may not have CWM installed? You should have no trouble pushing the file via adb with CWM installed. CWM changes the way the adb daemon runs on the device.

Might try renaming the original CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex to CarHome.apk.old and CarHome.odex.old, then moving the file I posted to /system/app. Don't install it (it probably won't install anyway), just put it in /system/app.

Hmm, noticed something funky with this. When you hit the navigation function, it asks you to choose Google Navigation or Your Navigator, and if you choose the second option, it will hang and force close. I think I'm going back to the Car Home app ripped from the Vibrant, as it instantly launches Google Navigation with giving you a useless menu prompt.
