[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quocamole:
i get errors when backing up and restoring when the battery or storage space on the sd card is low.

i've also seen nand restores fail when trying to restore using a different hboot than the one used to make the backup.

hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
Have you changed the filename? Also check storage space. I got an error only once and that was when I changed file names. I usually change the end of name to whichever rom it was but I accidentally put a space.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornelious1212:
I had changed the file name, but I had used that backup many times before. Not really sure what the deal is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
Changing the file name most of the time hurts the nandroid backup because both folders together are in sync in the checksums. That's why it creates two folders. This is what I was told. That's why they are brokem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Have changed your hboot to try cm since you made those backups?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
Changing hboot wont do anything.....well it well, but I went throught the same thing and I never changed hboot. If you tried to boot pc36.Img, then ya, it messed them up. But even changing the file names, messes the checksum up
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
What I meant was that if he made his backups, then changed his hboot for any reason (like to try cm), then he won't be able to restore those backups until he goes back to the hboot version he had when he made the backups.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
Right right. These no doubt there that if he changes the version, it wont work. But if then, reverting back may not even solve it. But lets say he didn't downgrade or even upgrade hboot, then what's left?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
You're right, but you and the other posters already seemed to be addressing the other options pretty well. Just wanted to throw it out there :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superevilllama:
I also had this issue where I was able to sucessfully backup and restore, however the restored rom was missing a lot of files and apps and didn't look right. I wasn't able to backup anything for quite a while, and then I updated the recovery image to the latest Amonra version. This seemed to correct it, as I just did a sucessful backup and restore. Hope it helps.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
I realize this has been done 5,619 times before, but its something that is everchanging (like the android market)

Im always on the lookout for new apps. Theres probably a lot of great stuff out there that alot of people probably havnt heard about because they havnt really been discovered yet, or word of mouth just never circulated.

Im starting this thread with the intention of us sharing our favorite apps in hopes that we will find some new stuff based on what other users have used. I'll break it up into genre and we can list more than one in each category if you have one. List your primary app for each genre, and put a * next to any app you feel is great but a lot of people may not know about, and put an explanation and what you feel makes it good. Ill start with what I have:

Home Replacement/Launcher:

Primary -

LauncherPro

Others -

ADWLauncher

Sweeter Home

*: Not available on Android market, but is a great project for an user who is OCD and wants to customize every little detail about their home screens. www.sweeterhome.com

Music Player:

Primary -

Meridian Hermit

TuneWiki

Keyboard

Primary -

Swype

Others -

Better Keyboard

Facebook

Primary -

Bloo 1.5

*: I believe this is hands-down the best fbook app for android. The UI is a little weak but it makes up for it with direct notifications for EVERYTHING an you can choose how often to check for notifications, and version 1.5 has a perfectly functional facebook chat feature (unfortunately 1.5 is not available on the market, but 1.4.4 is)

Texting

Primary -

Handcent

Others -

ChompSMS

Browser

Primary -

Dolphin Browser HD

Organization

Desktop Visualizer

Folder Organizer

File Explorer

Linda File Manager
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Music Player: Winamp

Keyboard: SwiftKey

Twitter (Or statuses in general): TweetDeck

.. Maybe you could include a link to the app via AppBrain or something to make it easier for users to learn more about the app? And Task Killers aren't needed, if I was OP i would remove that but hey its whatever. I don't condone using task killers since they make your phone perform worse.

AOSP Home

ADW Launcher

Others -

Winamp

: Because it's freaking WinAmp! I couldn't resist the "nostalgia" from 8 years ago lol

Keyboard

Primary -

Swype

Facebook/Twitter

Primary -

TweetDeck

*: After the addition of Widgets, TweetDeck became nearly perfect for me. Now if only I could turn all notifications off at once...

Texting

I use Stock MMS (Not TouchWiz, I mean AOSP MMS)

Browser

Primary -

Firefox

: Because it's Firefox

Others -

Dolphin Browser

(Regular)

Skyfire

: They're both pretty quick and easy to use, but I like Firefox more

Task Killers

Google told me not to use Task Killers

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html

RSS/Podcasts

Primary -

iTunes and my iDevice

*: Because it's perfect for it... most podcasts are designed for use with iTunes, it's just so easy.

Others -

Listen

*: Because Google made it?

Just a few things to add:

1) Quickdesk -- awesome secondary homescreen that you can reach with LP on search.

2) Smart Keyboard Pro -- I just keep coming back to it. LP for alt characters, a domain button, and arrow keys. S'nice!

3) Screen Timeout Widget -- Lets you set three different screen timeout settings and toggle between them.

I am trying to compile 2.6.32 kernel from samsung opensource.

No matter what compiler I use (I tried prebuilt android sdk, codesourcery,

compiled android gcc-4.4.3 from sources) I always get this error:

fs/binfmt_aout.c: In function 'load_aout_binary':

fs/binfmt_aout.c:271: error: 'SEGMENT_SIZE' undeclared (first use in this function)

Any ideas?

Did you try Sztupy's compact VM? It has all the necessary compliers & other tools.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
hm strange. i just compiled the source (which i downloaded 2 weeks ago) with the newsest code-sourcery-lite and it worked well. when did you download the source from samsung? i had a problem some time ago with the eclair sources which was fixed when i re-downloaded the sources some day's later ... possibly a "buggy" snapshot?!

edit: in my fs/binfmt_aout.c file isn't even a constant (used) "SEGMENT_SIZE" ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcaliburinhand:
I forget how I got around this, but I believe others have had luck using the info

under linux/include, remove the 2nd SEGMENT_SIZE declaration (sony's) in a.out.h
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sborodin:
No, I am compiling under linux using "android SDK", even compiled from source.

I also tried codesourcery SDK (as kernel sources sugest in the README) with no luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sborodin:
I also dounwloaded the source a couple of weeks ago. And also tried codesorcery "latest" - like 2010q1 - same thing.

SEGMENT_SIZE is not in binfmt_aout.c, it's in include/linux/a.out.c.

I will try to disable a.out binformat.

BTW, what config did you use to compile?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sborodin:
Hmmm. That's why.

include/linux/a.out.h checks if "linux" is defined, then it checks if __KERNEL__ is defined and then it assigns a value to "SEGMENT_SIZE".

para mi tambien es raro encontrar gente de chile veo que hay varios dando vuelta por aca, tambien estuve jugando con esto del 2.1 pero al final me eche para atras y deje todo como estaba (eso espero), creo que voy a esperar el firmware oficial, igual claro es una empresa grande e internacional, y la actualizacion del firmware depende mas de SONY que de claro... yo llegue hasta aqui con el tema xD
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Necrodaemon:
Claro, habemos mas personas de Chile , tambien opte por esperar la actualizacion oficial , aunque como las custom supongo que tambien tendra algunos buggs, de todas formas estaremos al dia y esperando el poder acceder a Eclair 2.1 pronto

Hi i've just got a dell streak on o2 uk and its still 1.6 and i would like the 2.1 update from o2 and its not givein me the update ota and when i goto settings, about device, system update, it go's to a web page your device is up to date, can anyone point me the the right direction to download the offical o2 2.1 update thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] grizlore:
The official one was pulled by O2, as it was full of bugs.

This is the leaked version, which I have used ever since it was released, works a treat !

LEAKED VERSION (right click save target as)

DO SO AT OWN RISK

Transfer it to the root directory on the Streak's microSD card, turn off Streak, hold the volume up and down buttons while turning the device on to boot into recovery mode, and select option 2. Then just sit back for a few minutes while the Streak does its thing.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tina333:
Is it the root of the external (16 or 32gb) sd or the internal 2gb one? Not sure if the internal one is even accessible but thought best to check :-) also... I have the 2.2 v1.0 (bought it already flashed) and I'd like to try the new version, the thread with instructions is huge and with all the updates and various questiins etc... ive found it extremely confusing??? Any pointers or links to other threads would be brilliant :-) I'm using win7 64bit just to add a little more annoyance :-)

Thank you

Read the section "guide to upgrading and downgrading". I received a new UK streak about 3 weeks ago and to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 I had to treat it like a US Streak (otherwise the upgrade always stops at 50%). 2.1 8105 runs great on my Streak

if someone please can post a noob friendly guide to over-clock the phone, please make it very detailed guide, because it is my first android phone and i'm not used to this environment yet, like where should i write insmod? i use windows 7 btw(if it makes any different)

thank you in advance, i'm sure it will be helpful for allot of people.
[Desire HD General] HacKage:
There is already a thread about overclocking the DHD which gives instructions and there are videos around as well.

Read here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815808 And read up on the G2 guide as well. Please read up about it fully first before diving in, while we all want to have fast devices, why would you like to overclock your phone, and have you fully read up about it before or are you just jumping in for the sake of it?
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
i did all what have mentioned above, and as i said it's my "firs" android phone, so i dont know "anything" so that why i requested the guide. thank you for passing by
[Desire HD General] HacKage:
Have a read through that link I posted. In there there is another link that gives instructions for the G2. There is also a video link in there as well that should help.
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
in that thread there are 2 methods, the Micheal method and that Gscript method, which both i cant do the needed files for, the modules, where to write "insmod"

thats why i needed a noob friendly guide starting from point zero, keep in mind that not just me who needs it
[Desire HD General] mikecoffee:
Again agree with hackage this isn't for new users its causes reboots and will burn your battery if not set up right and the tables are incomplete unless your going to write your own scripts etc etc
[Desire HD General] HacKage:
My problem with people asking for quick guides or n00b guides is that they get the guide, jump in, and inevitably moan when something goes wrong. If people read up about how to do it and don't understand, do some more research on what you don't understand. If people read up absolutely everything about how the process works, like for each kernel, addresses etc, not only will they then know how to do it, but they will also have a far better understanding of how the whole system works, and are better for it. The more you know about your system, the more you can understand and make progress instead of hoping someone will do it for you.

In saying that, we all get stuck sometimes, and we need to ask help, but everything to do with overclocking the Desire HD is on these forums, all you have to do is read.

Hi,

I've had my captivate for about 2 months now, and after a few shallow drops along the way, I now suffer from speaker problems as described in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778583

Slapping the speaker does solve the problem temporarily, after many missed calls and alarm, I cannot deal with it any longer. I bought my phone on August 18 from wireless.amazon.com so I do have some kind of receipt.

So the question is, how do I get this fixed/get replacement from att or samsung. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] vrmaier:
I had this issue as well. I took the phone apart following the instructions here: h**p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740022. I detached and reattached the speaker securing the connection. It has been a month and (knock on wood) the problem has not reoccurred. I hope this helps you.

Flashing a different baseband isn't going to accomplish anything other than wasting time and effort. As I have stated, what the OP has described is symptomatic of hardware failure.
