[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flarbear:
Yes, you can tear down your sneaker, but it is up to you to figure out how to do that. They use some very tough glues to hold them together so that the shoes last more than a few weeks and nobody complains that these very strong construction techniques make it harder to break the shoe down.

Yes, you can flash a new ECU for your car, but someone has to reverse engineer it to do that. You acknowledge that they aren't required to honor the warranty - yes, they aren't required to support your efforts there.

Yes, you are allowed to reflash your G2 too. It's just that people are still figuring out how to do that.

None of those manufacturers is required to make these things easy for you. They aren't required to support you with a warranty when you break into their product and modify it, and they aren't required to support you by making it easy to modify it in the first place.

Google decided that they wanted to make it relatively easy to modify the Nexus One and so they commissioned that the phone would have an easily unlockable bootloader. They weren't required to do that, but they wanted to market it to a very custom-ROM-aware crowd and so they did. The carriers really aren't that motivated to cater to that crowd. You could "send them a message" by only buying Google dev phones (I believe that all of their dev phones should be unlockable just like the N1), but that is your choice to make that feature a purchasing requirement - it's not a basic requirement of every device intended to be a smart-phone.

Do you only purchase cordless home phones with hackable firmware? Most of those are running an embedded computer in them. It may not be as powerful as the chips in the smart phones, but it is something that could take custom software if you really want to go that route. But, I don't think it's something that gets many, if any, people up in arms.

Just because something comes with a CPU in it doesn't mean a manufacturer must make that part accessible to you independently of the function of the device it was designed to be a part of.

sad thing is, that you are serious and dead wrong... if people would fallow your resoning, there would never be linux avaliable for computers, because those are sold wit windows, there would be no car racing (wel lnot all) because slapping high pressure turbo to your volvo would not be intended by manufacturer... In times when i paid for my cell phone more than form y netbook I expect to do what i want to it, wheter it is submerging it in the water or putting custom os... oh and btw, android is an open operating system... if i know how why should i settle for out of the box solution instead of something designed by me, for me...

if you want to make a phonecalls, get nokia. And G2 (iin this case) is not a phone.. it is more than that. Thank god not a lot of peoples share your point of view, cuz we would still live on the trees... (though i dont thik the were desing for that purpose so we probly lost warranty on them)

So i'm on a sgs with jp6.

updated to jpa using oding (no repartion)

and everything went fine.

restored my apps and settings etc.

but now I have this weird problem.

in some apps (system apps too) text has been mixed around.

like "settings" is now shown as "space"

and the menu when pressing power shows "sound is off" whenere "power off" should be???

the functions still work but text is just messed up.

might be alot more places it has happend.

I have rebooted many times.

Sorry no pics to show as of now. will try to put up later.

Dont wanna do hard reset if this can be fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Well you need to flash a new firmware back. Clean the system completed so no userdata is left.

Install your app. Don't install any settings. They don't work. That's why you get all strange thing.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazykiddo:
ahh okay så the tiberian backup settings is what messed it up.

will do at hard reset og clean all then install everything manuelly anyways.

just funny since everything works fine just some text has been switched...

anyways seem like jpa runs okay. with +150 apps and no lag fix it was still good.

gps still crap...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazykiddo:
doing it now.

jm8 and then jpo (before jpa)

and then install all apps manuelly.

Good Night. I need some help finding the splash screen of the fender mt3g. I the RUU.exe file to unroot the mytouch but this changes me the splash screen to the green one with the mytouch 3g. I hope someone can help me. thanks.

[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Is there any way to invoke Roam Control and automatically press the buttons to change mode, or some other way (CLI?) to operate it from Tasker?

I want to switch to forced roaming when I connect to my AP at home, a good condition to detect that I'm in my horiffically crappy Sprint signal area. I'd like to automate turning the forced roam on and off.
[Epic 4G General] cnuckols1:
Root your phone then buy the app roam control.
[Epic 4G General] livedeht:
Way to not answer the question at all lol...

I am also interested in doing this, as this is all i need Tasker for, i was going to wait til i saw this was possible before buying it.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Well, I successfully got it to at least launch it on each status change -- that is, when my wireless AP comes in and out of range, which at least reminds me to manually change the mode.

fully automated would be nice!
[Epic 4G General] MrGreg:
Hey guys, I'm the developer for Roam Control. Someone had asked me earlier about adding support for tasker (maybe it was one of you), and I started looking into it. However, I started thinking of potential issues:

- If you were on a phone call when tasker switched modes, you'd lose the call

- Depending on what the phone was doing when tasker switched modes, you might see a FC

I wasn't sure if that was acceptable, so I gave up on it at the time. What do you guys think?
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
For the first issue, the context (i.e. triggering condition) can be constructed to account for that, so it's not a problem.

however for me it would be a rare, acceptable corner case.

best solution would be three shortcuts that can be invoked from a tasker action, and change the mode to each of the buttons in the interactive UI: Automatic, Roam Only, Home Only.

BTW, love your app, it's critical for me. I'd have had to return my Epic, which I absolutely love, but use all day for business in my home office. I get 6 strong, solid bars from Verizon's tower, 0/1 from Sprint's tower. Without RC, my phone is basically unusable at home.

So, don't know is this is a no-brainer, but if it is, please do it -- soon! I'd be willing to pay again for a "pro" version to support the dev work.
[Epic 4G General] livedeht:
@MrGreg - I also would have had to return my phone without your app.

Adding support for tasker would be awesome for me. I had a similar setup with my pre and going back to having to do stuff manually is annoying =P

Anyways, your attention to this makes me not regret purchasing your app! Thanks a ton =D

Edit: The potential issues are something we would have to deal with anyways I think... If I walk into my house, I lose my call anyways because I seriously get 0 signal inside. The automated swap to roam only would only hasten my reconnection to that person, and I find that to be a desirable outcome.
[Epic 4G General] DEinspanjer:
Sorry if this is off topic, but I thought I'd mention my solution to not having cell signal in my basement office.. it cost a couple hundred dollars, but I bought a cell repeater and yagi antenna. Installed the antenna on the peak of my roof and have a strong signal in the basement or first floor.

Certainly more expensive than a tasker script, but if you depend on your phone it might be worth it to you.
[Epic 4G General] thetoady:
uh, why not make it smart?

I assume its possible to tell if the phone is on? why not accept the fact that roam control was invoked to switch modes and wait till the call ends to switch modes?

unsure what an FC is though. (fault condition?)
[Epic 4G General] livedeht:
FC = Force Close

ok guys here is the deal i am the proud owner of g1 android and have it running 2.2 cyanogen 6 and it is great however i realize that i am coming to the end of the line or have taken the g1 as far as it will go so therefore i am looking for the my next phone i am liking the g2 what do you guys think? I want a phone that is very hackable like the g1 do you see alot of upgrades coming for the g2? or what android device do you think would be best for playing with? thanks in advance.
[General Topics] lqaddict:
As it stands right now the G2 is pretty much locked, and the development is under way to get around it - VISIONARY temp root makes it easier to preserve the root upon reboot, but there are still obstacles getting around read-only NAND.

My understanding that any new offerings from TMO will come locked down as much as possible, since they have introduced $15/mo tethering plan with 5GB cap, they don't want any free riders.

I personally am rocking the Vibrant, but it is not as polished as the HTC phones.

I hope we will get there some day :D
[Android Apps and Games] mlevin:
Maybe it's just me, but the new Twitter app that just got released today is a step backwards. I kinda wish I hadn't installed it.

The new one no longer has the long-press options to reply/retweet, etc. Instead, the only thing you can do is click on a tweet and you go to a new screen where you can choose your action. That kinda sucks.

Or am I missing something...?
[Android Apps and Games] odub303:
You're missing something. Swipe left or right on a tweet to reveal your options.
[Android Apps and Games] blueb0x:
I do like the swype down to refresh, but at the same time i miss hitting the actual button.
[Android Apps and Games] mlevin:
Wow. That's INCREDIBLY unintuitive and not at all consistent with the rest of the Android user experience. In a million years I wouldn't have stumbled across that.
[Android Apps and Games] nolageek:
Actually that's par for the course on iphone apps. I actually missed the swipe-for-options when i first switched back to android.

Does the new version support either flickr or custom image services? That's the main reason I use twicca.
[Android Apps and Games] nolageek:
Just checked it out, no flickr... uhg. but I *love* that they added pull-to-refresh. That's one of the genius bits of a lot of iphone apps that I really miss. Hate that so many android apps waste screen real estate with a refresh button!
[Android Apps and Games] mlevin:
Grr. Embedded links are no longer clickable now from the main screen. You can see them but they're not hyperlinked. You have to go to the second page in order to follow a link!
[Android Apps and Games] trazipomoc:
My issue with it is that it doesn't show new tweets in chronological order. That would be a good option so once you refresh it shows oldest tweets since last refresh.

Currently I feel like I'm going backwards through time

never mind. I asked the phone to check for updates it did. Updated and now the sd card has its files again. Interesting the way it recovered itself. I think I'll wait till tomorrow to retry rooting.

[Fascinate Android Development] rainabba:
Agreed that this is way too much being that it's in the Dev thread, but I suspect his confusion was about the need to hit the home button to do anything (though the rest of his posts leave me wondering if that is too much credit).

Gasp. Bootlocking is the devils work. Why the hell would u make a device based on open sourced code if ur gonna lock it up? Just clearly state it voids the warranty and let us have our fun.

Well excuse me for not being an android wiz. I have been in recovery before but always used the power button to make changes not the home button. I guess this is where my confusion was. Excuse my ignorance.

[HD Mini General] Rastaman2302:
I know this has been discussed before, but I came across this (rather old) article online: ***.winmo.nl/hvga-ook-goed-voor-windows-phone-7-series/ (* = w, I'm not aloud to post outside links yet :))

I know a lot of you don't speak dutch, so I'll try to capture the essence of the article for you.

Basically what's been said is that although restrictions for phone 7 were very limited at first, it appears phone 7 will also be released for HVGA resolution and they would also aim for lower end cpu's (down till 600MHz).

They suggest Windows might have been planning to upgrade the hd2 and hd mini to phone 7 all along.

Can anyone give an insight on this?

Has there been more rumors or press leaks about the compatibility of phone 7 with these models?

I sure would like to give phone 7 a try on my hd mini :)
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
For me, personally, i'd say "No, thanks."

WP7 is a restricted kind of phone, much like the iPhone. In fact, it's almost an exact copy. Not of iPhone 4, but of first 2 generations of iPhone. The only difference, it's got a homescreen. So it's like iPhone 1 or 2 plus a homescreen. While iPhone has slowly moved on to try to partially match modern phones, WP7 went back to the very basic crippled iPhone system.

It even went as far as to cripple the Office Mobile.

I'd stick to WinMo 6.5.3. And most likely jump to Android when 6.5.3 is eventually left to rot and die.
[HD Mini General] Rastaman2302:
yes, Android is in my favor as well, but I don't see it coming anytime soon to the hd mini and I don't know enough to do it myself so I'll be stuck with winmo at least for the coming year :)

It's good to see windows is trying though, although they have a long way to go and the competition is too strong imho...
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Microsoft thought iPhone style and restrictions is the way to go. But that's because when iPhone started out with this new concept, there's no competition yet. Naturally, it was a run away winner in those times. But now, you see that Android has overtaken iOS. Flexibility and open system is the way to go. Something WinMo partially had, only not implemented properly. Microsoft is throwing that way and following a wrong direction.

Soon, when Android finally pummelled and pulverized iOS to dust, MS will regret going that direction.

[Touch CDMA General] mikurej95:
Well you still have to install it but that won't really be possible if you can't go to the right directory and run the .cab. Unless it was already installed on your phone, then I think you will be able to, depends on what the settings were. Give it a try. And if you really need to access your phone you will have to buy a new LCD screen. If the touch screen doesn't work, you will need a digitizer also.

here is a list of them on ebay. pick the one you want:

[HTC Aria General] brswattt:
Hey guys, I want the best ways to have better battery life.

I'm getting the phone this friday.

I know,

1. Turn off Wifi when not needed

2. turn off bluetooth

3. decrease brightness

4. Turn off 3g (?)

5. Turn off GPS

and also, is battery life better with liberated 2.2?
[HTC Aria General] Furies:
Remember that battery life will depend on the personal use of the phone itself, as well as the subtle differences in manufacturing between the batteries.

For me, decrease screen lock time to 15 seconds, turning off wifi and 3g, keeping off GPS, disabling sync, and killing any and all processes before locking the phone seem to work the best in regards to consistent battery life.

In general from what Ive seen on my device, Froyo based ROMs have better battery lives which would include Cyanogen and Liberated 2.2 for the Aria (note this is a completely unscientific observation with no evidence to back it up)
[HTC Aria General] brswattt:
isnt the liberated 2.2 for the aria Froyo based?
[HTC Aria General] Furies:
Sure is. Its the latest and greatest Froyo based ROM from attn1 who brought everyone CM6 as well.
