I am hoping that someone might take a look at extracting the new Amazon MP3 Application from the new T-Mobile Official 3.14.531.1 ROM? The old AmazonMP3.cab thats been around forever never worked: meaning it searched, but would not authenticate an Amazon Account, so you couldn't "buy" songs with it, making it essentially useless. But the new one works splendidly - I installed the Official TMOUS ROM 3.14 just to test this app, and I can say it works well. I was able to register my Amazon account, purchase songs, and they appeared in the Sense Music player right away. This is how a "Media Savvy" device is SUPPOSED to WORK, for cryin out loud!

I tried copying everything over, but never could get it working on my current ROMs - it has parts in it labeled "Resco"??? and I ALMOST got it, but it fails on last step of authentication, even after creating all the Reg keys (well, the ones I could figure out from the Official ROM anyway. Looks like it uses some public key encryption in the transaction, and thats where I got in too deep for my feeble mind.... ANYONE want to take this on? It would be SO NICE to get this one working without (shudder) having to run a stock ROM, LOL!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbacon617:
I was under the impression that the typical custom ROM disables the OTA update feature. Is it safe to accept the update with Bionix + JAC's kernel installed, or is bricking a possibilty here? Can I flash it back to stock without "losing" the OTA update?

I'm very curious as to what it might be, because Fusion is based on JI6, which would imply that this update is newer than JI6...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwillkillyou:
I wouldnt recommend doing the upate, if stock gives you problems imagine a custom rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
I just received the same update also while running Fusion. I unrooted, deleted the update.zip then accepted it. It rebooted back into Fusion and didn't change anything. Apparently it's a Media Hub update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arin8000:
Hi guys, I have Vcore fusion1.2 ghz and lagfix installed, now I need to get back to stock rom. Thank you for help.

[G2 and Desire Z General] crazedfan88:
So I am having issues with my G2, the quality in calls is horrible, and been getting worse. (Voices on other end cutting in and out, but the other party can hear me just fine)

SO I called T Mobile, and they are sending me one free of charge(Bare-bones, just the phone, I keep my battery, sim, sdcard, etc)

MY QUESTION IS: Before I send my current G2 back to t mobile, should I put it back to main factory settings??? (I have visionary, gscript, setcpu, etc.) I don't want them to see that, and them be like you voided it, so now you have to pay for two phones.

So do I set it back to factory, and if so, how do I do that, so they don't know I rooted it? I'm sorry I tried searching the forums, and did not find anything.

Thank-you in advance for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] prp2:
You may as well, just to be on the safe side. Plus, that way it'll erase all of your personal information from the phone before they receive it back.

Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
The issue you described sounds like a network issue, don't be surprised if it continues on the new G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crazedfan88:
Well the thing is, all of my tombile phones(G1, Cliq) ive had before this, the reception was fine. Also while Im on my G2, I have full bars, and the other end can hear me fine, they are just coming in bad.

Doesn't that sound like a speaker issue????
[G2 and Desire Z General] bobsbbq:
I also think it is a network issue. I'm having similar problems, more with data right now as I'm not making or getting very many calls on this new number. I'm on my 2nd G2 BTW
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
Same problems here. Waiting on IT'S update....
[G2 and Desire Z General] crazedfan88:
Hmm, what do you mean on "ITS" update? Or were you meaning OTA update?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
Lol. OTA.....

STILL breaking in the HTC keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crazedfan88:
LOL i figured that is what you meant...sad news though. I am on the OTA Update, and still having the issues.

Can anyone else weigh in?
[G2 and Desire Z General] crazedfan88:
Sorry, but BUMP
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
Is the screen protector that came with the phone still on? It covers up the front speaker, I'm sure you figured that out...
[G2 and Desire Z General] temekio2000:
The ear speaker is not centered on the phone i seam to hear better with the left corner of the phone to my ear hope this helps you with your new phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] KidHuyDiet:
im on my 4rd replacement 2 days ago. 1st day after receiving it, it worked fine. However, after the OTA the next day i now experience the same problem with my 3rd hand set which is drop calls, data signal jumping from H to E alot and never stable. i dont know what else to do but to keep it for another few days and see what happen if it doesnt get better guest it be it for G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] bobsbbq:
I'm right there with you. I might try another replacement but I think I'm going to get the same thing. Going back to T-Mobile tomorrow and see how I feel.
[HD7 General] sennywolf:
Hi,

I am writing from Singapore and I got my HD7 last week.

The phone is working great except for the weak batt. However, 1 big issue i face is the navigation app by Telmap/Singtel call Singtel Xplorer will not work! I called Singtel multiple times but they are as blur as me!

I reinstall the app multiple times and hard reset like some others recommend. I can load the app and it went in to the disclaimer. After that it shows No Packages for ever at the Registration page.

SIngtel told me the app is registered under my name and I should get to use it. But i just cannot get pass the Registration page.

Anybody from SG got it to work pls throw me a msg or post here to help!!
[HD7 General] LittleMerc:
I have it running well,but it is still in development mode. All i can see is both the about and screenshot columns. You may wanna bring it back to singtel. If you want pm me your contacts we can go out yumcha and i show it to you. Teas on you of course haha XD
[HD7 General] feyyun:
This is a charge service, did you click on "Accept" button?
[HD7 General] novalistic:
Same problem earlier on . . .

But get it works after sending down to Tampines Mall Hello Shop, they told me FREE to use for 6 months.

After using for few time decide to abandon it, because very slow, laggy.
[HD7 General] sennywolf:
Hi to all kind bros!

Finally just got it activated. Apparently, SINGTEL SCREW UP!

they were so confused that they did not activate it for me at all and offered to escalate it to higher support.

I made a total of 6 calls to Singtel to complain before finally I received a notice on my phone that the service is activated!

Now I can use the app but still hoping for a navigation app like iGO8 that do not use data plan.

btw, HD7 rocks!!
[HD7 General] gurucanto:
Hi all,

I had the same problems for my LG Optimus 7, when it was first launched. I do not know how many times i had to call Singtel to sort the issue out. i was told at least on 2 occasions my package was not registered and they had to do it for me. It didnt work even after they told me to wait for 24-48hrs.

Multiple times they told me their technical staff would contact me. None did. One day, i tried the Xplorer and it finally worked. Couple days later, i recieved an sms from singtel to say they were still working on my issue. They didnt even call me to find out if it was working. Subsequently, about a week after that they called. Straight away i told them it was working.

I find the Xplorer lags tremendously. It also hangs when i zoom in to the maximum and after that i am not able to zoom out. I need to go back to the Home Page. Also frustrating it does not multitask. If for any reason you need to reply to an sms and you leave the Xplorer screen, it need to reload again. Start all from fresh.

I have been trying to find out to whom i could write to about all this issue. No luck. telmap site can never be loaded. So not sure what is the problem or even of their existence. I would not want to waste my time contacting Singtel, cos as a customer, i probably would be made waiting again.

I wonder if this problem is only for the WP7 OS. For other platforms such as the Iphone and Android do they phase similar problems. I think Singtel should provide us some form of means to provide feedback on the Apps they are releasing. of cos we want to see it working well. Soliciting our feedback would help them improve this app.
[HD7 General] jorker1237:
Hi all sg HD 7 Fans, I also bought HD7 2 days before. But the maps inside the phone was like only street no blk, and while the xplorer have to pay.

Do anyone have other free alternatives for GPS in SG?

I seriously suspecting that Singtel is blocking some functions of the "maps" cause it looks different from the one I see in the Manual (full Version one)

Is there any way to disable the genius button and make it act like a proper search button in android?
[myTouch 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
This will come in time my friend.. With higher root comes higher privilege that we can take advantage of, or HTC finally realizes and updates our devices with an option to enable / disable :)

[myTouch 4G General] importflip:
Not without root access.
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Why do people think the genius button is so horrible? Its helluva lot more useful than regular search, you would know if you actually tried it out.
[myTouch 4G General] sianaka:
I wish I could customize it to launch vlingo instead. Genius doesn't even have a navigate command. I would use it, but it starts way slower than vlingo and isn't as accurate.
[myTouch 4G General] importflip:
I have used it. I like Google Search better. That and I get better results with Google Voice Search.
[myTouch 4G General] BrooklynAvi:
It's called choice. I don't want it for search at all. There are other apps that can take advantage of the search button on every other device except the Slide and the MT4G. Options are always a good thing.
[myTouch 4G General] bbman911:
+1 to map it to Vlingo instead...I wonder if I can setup a Tasker profile to do this? The "Genius" button so far is the only thing that has ever caused my phone to crash and reboot...
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i love the genius button. i use it all the time plus there are navigation options in it. i use it all the time. it asked for an address and i said mine and it did great and had no errors reading what i said. or i can say a place i wanna find and it shows me ones around me then i click on it and click nav and its good to go. i love how it reads my text messages and i can say a text message and it does really good with picking up what i said with out having errors or not putting in words i didnt say.
[myTouch 4G General] diversificationied:
Have you guys tried downloading Google Search or any other app that uses the search button?

Maybe that applicatino that allows you to launch anything with the search key.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i did try the google search and it did work fine but it came with the phone i dont remember downloading it. on the google search bar just click the mic and says navigate to starbucks and it did it perfect but took a bit to pick up where i lived lol.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Hate the Genius button. I have to waste an entire row of my main home screen with the google search bar widget. Yay..... :p

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psych0t1c:
Thei Title pretty much sums it up.

What I am looking for (with no result so far) is a site that has reviews of Market Apps, but with a twist.

Instead of looking at a few apps and rating them, I think it would be helpful if the reviewers went out and started to evaluate apps by genre. TO make my point clearer: when you are a newbie and you start looking around for common, everyday use tools like a Tasks Manager, Battery Widgets, RSS Feed Readers, etc the Market confronts you with a a sh*tload of Apps.

It sometimes looks as if every second active developer wrote one, and not they all clutter the Market. Of course you can go by the ratings, either the Market ones or ones supplied by like AppBrain, or you can go by download numbers. Still it comes down to painstakingly installing loads of different kinds to see which one suits you the most.

If anyone here knows about some blog or even threads on some forum where useful side-by-side comparisions can be found, reviews that list pros and cons of each App, maybe even show a feature matrix it sure would be a one hell of a simplifications for newbies as it would not require wading throuhg dozens of apps to find the one that does what you want it to do.

So does anyone know something? Or would maybe xda-developers offer a subforum dedicated to this, so a collaboration of this indeed time-consuming testing can be started? I would sure as hell be happy to help with it.

What do you guys think? Is trying out dozens of apps just a rite of passage? Or do you feel checking a matrix of features and a few screenshots in ONE place would make selectionf of your favorite RSS App easier as well?

i tried like every single recovery img i can find on this forum and every single of them gave me a black screen.

Hi

Before I updated my X10i to 2.1 I used Backup & Restore from SE to backup everything. And when I now want to restore it all, the only thing that is restoring is my pictures and SMS messenges!

Where the **** is my phone contacts and apps that the Backup & Restore app should backup?!

I'm very pissed of that my contacts and apps is not here when I restored them.

May they be on the "phonecard"? And where should I look? I'm talking about when you plug the phone into computer and u get phonecard from the phone.

What kind of **** is this SE app?:mad:

[myTouch 4G General] dj kumbia:
Go to settings--wireless & networks--mobile networks--access point networks--check the "t-mobile data". The reason the mms doesnt work is due to being checked on "TelKila", whatever that is, but that should clear up all the mms problems on your mytouch 4g.

Here comes the latest rooting method that works with 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware.

Credits to Scotty2 for his psneuter exploit!

1. Download and unpack rootme.tar.bz2

2. Execute ./rootme (linux) or rootme.bat (windows)

3. Done.

You may also want to try SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip (modified by batman_112 to use the latest exploit).

Wow, actually it seems that copying files with adb push via script messes thing up :( I corrected the instructions, so now it will work for you, but need to copy the files manually.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
Your link is broken :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Try now, I got rid of installation scripts :)

I flashed my X10 with nordic FW and tried it again Step by Step... but "permission denied"... even if i remove and make the tmp directory as described...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Ok, last thing to try... After you copy the files, go with:

adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*

I added some screenshots to show how the process works for me.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] unrygar:
is this a full root? i mean, is root+shell root?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] notowork:
Finally I was able to root my phone :D

just one correction, you got to use chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*

it was not allowing to root otherwise :)

i kept breaking my head using the "simple" SuperOneCLick but could not show my rage against the machine :D

thank you for explaining this process for Root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] meta96:
chmod 777 *

did it. thanx. btw like your oldstyle-skills
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DoubleVision19:
Just saw this thread and wanted to root my phone also...I downloaded the files provided in the first post and extracted onto my PC. When I tried running the adb application, I only get a command window only for a split second and then it disappears. Am I doing something wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] blaze16:
Everything works fine until the final step where I write ./rootme in the emulator.

Before the phone reboots, it says something right after, something about superuser.apk.

Once the phone is back on the emulator goes back to $. As well as not being able to download Busybox.

Appreciate your efforts

EDIT: No worries, I managed to get root using SuperOneClick (finally!). It was rather sketchy, would've preferred your way tbh.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TheMathMan:
Brilliant!

Much easier than messing around with the looping SuperOneClick!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jojo1212:
worked like a charm when used chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TheMathMan:
Is there an easy way to shell root with this too?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wiedz:
perhaps someone could create an application, just like X10root the other day..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UserX10:
Worked for me too

Please correct description at the beginning... "777" is missing at chmod.

Is there a possibility to geht shell root, too?

THX
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Thanks for spotting the issues guys, I guess I'm not too good with tutorials. As for permissions problem, I use only Linux so my files were "rwx" already, that's why I've missed it :)

UserX10: what do you mean by "shell root"? Running adb as root?

Cheers!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UserX10:
Yes, exactly.

I´m trying atm to enable the JIT, but without adb shell it´s a hard going... (I´m not so familiar with linux, only know some basics...)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sleepeeg3:
Rebooted, but did not work. When I try to install Busybox it says I am rooted, but not "nand unlocked." I think that's what he meant by "shell unlocked." Could have something to do with AT&T phones that are locked a certain way. Just guessing.

I don't know enough about Linux, but it looks like there are some steps missing from the 1.6 root method: http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot

Would modifying your method with some of the steps above help?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
If you get that message it means you dont have superuser installed. Try re-installing it either manually or through the market.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] meta96:
... yes, was a linux/windows permissions problem

... maybe to add chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/* in your old/first batch file ... would make life easier again ...

...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MarylandCookie:
By the way there is an error in rootme.

The code shows:

./busybox cp superuser.app /data/app/superuser.app

but should be:

./busybox cp superuser.apk /data/app/superuser.apk

or

./busybox cp superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.apk
chmod 0755 /system/app/superuser.apk
