Not really, you have have s=off and not be rooted. all s=off means is the security protocol will not check to see if the phone has been tampered with. IF you have s=off and you go to visionary and click "temp toot" then "perm root" your phone will be rooted until you unroot it. Since the security protocol will not remove the SU access.

Hi, is there anywhere that I can download ClockworkMod for the HTC Wildfire in update.zip format, ready to place onto an SD card for fake-flashing from recovery mode? Or can I use the same update.zip from my HTC Desire?

Many thanks!

edit - answer to second question, no I can't. Signature verification failed, which I kind of expected really...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutcrackerr:
Greetings

I have a question, what's the difference between X10 and X8?

I don't mean the tech specifications or anything like that.

But I have trouble finding applications for X8 becouse there is no option to sign 'x8'.

There is only x10, x1, x10 mini.

Will applications for X10 work on X8?

And also, I tried using AppBrain application.

Is there any way to install applications from there without using internet connection?

Thanks in regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickownzya:
Hello,

after i did a nandroid backup, my desire wont boot anymore. The display goes on, showing up some green htc letters but turns off after ~20 secs. After another ~10 secs the display turns on again; this procedure repeats.

I cant get into clockwork recovery (probably because the phone is only for 10 secs off).

Any suggestions what to do?

I am not that much experienced in android development etc :/

Regards, Nick
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
I had the same problem earlier after i did a ROM manager backup.

What i did:

1. Take off back cover and remove battery and replace

2. Get into HBOOT menu (Hold down volume button and power button)

3. Go to Recovery and recover there to a previous back up

It took me a while to figure this out, hope it works for you (seeing as you used nandroid, but hopefully it wont be too different. Im also new to this.)

[Fascinate General] fupamobile:
Cant decide which one to get. vote and Post why you chose the one you chose.

the only reason why i am leaning towards the fascinate is no locked boot loader and fast GPU for games. but i dunno if those are real issues....
[Fascinate General] bL33d:
Fascinate for the screen and faster hardware. Droid x is nice to just wanted the faster phone so I bought the Samsung.
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
considering you're asking this on a fascinate forum, full of fascinate users, i'm gonna go ahead and bet that the fascinate is probably gonna win this poll. just a crazy guess....
[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
I picked fascinate over x or 2 because of screen type and size, cpu and gpu are better and improve battery life, unlocked loader, overall design is better imo, software was a slight let down on this but root fixes that and 2.2 and choose to fix that aswell. those were my reasons anyway
[Fascinate General] pkopalek:
On fascinate the following are worse than droid x (and even my droid eris):

-Cell antenna gets worse reception by 10+dbm at all times

-gps antenna catches less satellites, and more slowly

-g-sensor/accelerometer is less accurate and responsive

But, I got this for the screen and processor. My regret is that I travel all around and with the poor cell antenna and gps, I find myself turning to my old Eris almost daily.

I'd probably get the x if I could go back. But this IS an amazing phone, don't get me wrong. You'll be happy either way.
[Fascinate General] fupamobile:
bbuummppppppp
[Fascinate General] suppliesidejesus:
I dunno, I kinda feel like my reception has been better with this phone than my Eris. The GPS has issues, but there are workarounds while we wait for a fix (it's a software issue, surprise surprise).

[Fascinate General] SupraLance:
I've been researching this same question WAY too much. The following sums up several of the best posts on the subject:

The fascinate seems to be a better media/entertainment/hacking phone:

-better gpu for gaming and faster chipset

-better screen for media & viewing outdoors

-Better audio chip and louder speaker

-Slightly better camera/video although less mp

The X seems to be better from a basics standpoint... internet, phone, gps

-Slightly better cell reception

-Very good mic sound quality and noise cancellation

-Slightly better battery life

-Solid GPS

-Larger screen makes browsing and using the keyboard a bit easier
[Fascinate General] theraptscallion:
I chose the fascinate over the DX after playing with both in the store extensively and carrying a dummy around in my pocket for a day (my local VZW store has great customer service).

I went fascinate because, frankly, its way lighter and the screen is amazing. Also, as a former WinMo person I found the idea of flashing ROMS and radios very attractive.

The only times I regret my choice are when I'm in a car with my wife (who has a Droid 2, her fingernails prevent her from typing on a capacitative screen) and we need to use GPS. Hers locks on in under ten seconds every time, whereas the fascinate can take upwards of 2 minutes regardless of the fixes I've applied.

[Fascinate General] drnihili:
Just got the Fascinate over the Droid X. I played with both in the store for a while. The fascinate seemed snappier overall and the X was just a bit too big for daily use. From what I've read, the X seems a bit better as a phone, but the Fascinate has better overall hardware for apps.

Both phones are great, I would have been happy with either. But the F called to me a bit more.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I got the Fascinate because I was able to take advantage of the Free Phone Friday promotion Best Buy had last month.

They are both great but I love the screen and how it feels in my hand along with the amazing camera.

The only thing is thatafter GPS had been turned off for a while and them back on it takes a while to lock but after that its instant.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_roboto:
I am using windows 7 pro x64 and my computer cannot install the driver when I check USB tethering on the OTA.

I know it is not my phone since my linux machine works fine with usb tethering.

However on my windows machine, it fails to install right away and my device manager has a "Android phone" that is not installed.

Is there something I am missing on my windows machine to not let it finish installing? If I remember correctly on my old setup it would install the NDIS remote driver, but that doesn't happen for me.

Any suggestions?

EDIT : Just tried roommate's computer which is also win7 pro x64 and it failed as well. Is windows 7 pro missing this NDIS driver? If so does anyone know a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
The link below is to PDAnet's download page. Just pick the one for you and it'll install the drivers.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_roboto:
The problem isnt PDAnet, I prefer not to use a 3rd party software when I can use the native 2.2 usb tethering. The problem is windows 7 pro not detecting the NDIS server driver. I confirmed it working for linux but I do not have a computer around me that uses other versions of Windows 7 besides pro

EDIT: Just tried my G1 on cm 6.1 and it found the NDIS driver for the G1.

Hmmm I'm running out of ideas, Ill try and find someone with windows 7 home or ultimate
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuckmoney:
You don't have to use pda net, it just has the drivers you need in the software. Once you install pdanet, the drivers will allow win7 to recognize your phone. then you can uninstall pdanet. I had to do the same thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
Thanks. I've been trying to tell people this over and over. No one listens.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_roboto:
Installed pdanet on my computer, which it also installed onto my phone but no luck. It still fails the driver install when i check usb tethering.

It did however install PDAnet's own "network driver", but device manager still sees "Android phone" as an unknown device when i check usb tethering. Not to be confused with the adb driver which I have already have up and running

I still have not had a chance to try another operating system besides linux :/

Hi Guys,

Just thought i'd start a thread about this game, it's just been released in Beta format for Android - its originally an iphone MMO RPG game. You create a character and go off on quests with buddies - similar to WoW but a lot more basic...

Anyway its a freebie and a great little game so worth a go - its 28mb download size though so may wanna grab it while on a wireless connection.

It has great 3D graphics and runs really smooth!

Maybe see some of you guys in game - im Atolo a warrior :)

Another good free game from Market is Pocket Empires. You build up cities, tech levels, fight monsters and opposing players, and build wealth. It's another MMORPG, has alot of cool features like alliances, stock market to trade goods/troops, huge map, thousands of other players, world/alliance/market chats, plus you don't have to play it constantly. You can put it down and come back to it on your own time. If you guys get tired of Pocket Legends, and want to try another game for awhile, check it out
[G2 and Desire Z General] JeremyNT:
Hey G2'ers, I've got a question: how well does your GPS work?

I (and the wife) currently own Samsung Vibrants, which are great devices save for the woeful GPS and compass performance. Turns out this is kind of a big deal; google nav completely flakes out in cities or at stop lights, and I find myself horribly frustrated with it. As a point of comparison, I find that device much worse than the GPS on my old Nokia N95 or iPhone 3G.

I'd love to know how the GPS on the G2 holds up; does it get a lock quickly? Is it accurate when recording tracks? Does google nav's arrow point in the correct direction when you're stationary? Does sky maps work?

Especially awesome would be opinions from anybody who's used both devices.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mpmilestogo:
I have both devices. Suffered through some of the woes on the Vibrant with the GPS, locating fixes. Froyo on the Vibrant seems to fix some of the issues but truth be told, I still have had GPS issues. On the G2, I have not used tracks but I have used GPS a bit like "places" and "maps". Both seem to get locks very quickly compared to the Vibrant. The external quality of the G2 seems better at a subjective level to me since it feels "metal-ly" and the Vibrant while slick looking still feels kinda plastic.

The main issue for me was rooting and getting the latest updates. The Vibrant took awhile to get some ROMs going with Froyo and after loading a few different ones, it still seems a work in progress. The G2 comes with a "vanilla" look but they load these applications which for some reason they think I would want. There are ways to remove or disable them without getting root.

All in all, I like the G2 for its "heft" and feel in my hand. The G2 feels like you are holding something and its physically a beautiful phone to me. The Vibrant is all glossy and plastic looking. Both phones are nice. Given the choice, I would take the G2 since its been rooted permanently. I would choose the Vibrant for other reasons like a simple root path; but Froyo has taken way too long and I got tired of waiting.

I'm not convinced battery life is much better on either; but on the G2, I've been running JuiceDefender Ultimate and I get decent battery life on the regular battery. On the Vibrant with Froyo it seemed the battery just drained and I think there are processes running when the handset is in standby which drain the battery IMO.

Final analysis for me is what phone I feel the most comfortable using. I like the G2 for many reasons and have given the Vibrant to my daughter as her first touch screen phone. She likes lots of games and the display and the Vibrant will hold bunches of stuff.

I can't help with the final decision because its yours.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JeremyNT:
Awesome, thanks for the input.

The slow pace of progress on the Vibrant is also a cause of concern for me. Even though the G2 has suffered in getting root working initially, the fact that it's an HTC device seems to be radically speeding up progress now that it's been rooted. The unfortunate lack of open source drivers for some key components in the Vibrant means that, at least for a while, a pure AOSP-based release is off the table, and waiting for Samsung is a real downer.

Now all that said, I really love the Vibrant's form factor and display. I've held a demo G2 and it feels great, but it's a bit on the clunky side for me. I know I'd be OK with it, it's just not exactly what I want; if I could have the G2's guts in the Vibrant's form factor (and with the Vibrant's display!) I'd be all over it :)

Ultimately, all that said, a working *good* GPS and compass are going to be the deciding factors for me though. I just rely on that stuff too much to be happy with the performance I see from the Vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
What you are asking for is impossible. GPS does not provide any information on ORIENTATION, nor is it used in sky maps any more significantly than simply finding your location on the surface of the planet. Sky maps uses the COMPASS much more than the GPS since it can actually determine your orientation wrt the planet's magnetic field.

GPS devices can only judge a direction that you are pointing by assuming that the DIRECTION you are moving in **IS FORWARD**. If you are driving backwards, google maps will turn the map upside down.

Now vibrant is a samsung phone. You realize that the nexus S is as well? It has apparently been delayed on account of THIS EXACT PROBLEM. There is some SERIOUS issue, either with the firmware or with the hardware on those devices that is leading to your frustrations... and there are apparently MULTIPLE causes coming together.

I really wouldn't worry about the GPS and compass on the VISION. HTC (unlike samsung) has a good track record with these components.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
My g2 has a great gps. Locks quick and is accurate every time. I've used tracks to test and walking 100 yards and back with varying direction was mapped perfectly.

I had the captivated before (ATT version of vibrant) and it was horrible. The file system, gps, battery life, random shutdowns, cheap feel, plus ATT locks the market down and disabled sidelong of apps.

The problems of the g2 are minor compared that other mess of a phone. JMO
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ties0:
Agreed with everyone. The Galaxy S gps is horribly slow.(don't get me started on the touchwiz interface)

But there have been people who liked the galaxy s more than the g2, and because you are asking this in a g2 section.. it tends to be a bit bias. :D

I would go to a store and check active demos and decide for yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kinacool:
One of the best phone out there, with oc to 1.4 ghz it will be best keyboard phone out there for a while. Stock android is a only way to go. Other addons like track pad wake just make a cherry on top and I am sure that there will be more cool stuff to follow. Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JeremyNT:
Google navigation uses the compass to determine orientation of the arrow when you're stationary. I know this because, in the case of the Vibrant, the compass is always wrong. This contributes to issues when I'm sitting at a light, since google nav will use the (bogus) compass reading on the Vibrant and decide I must be facing the wrong way, triggering a reroute.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
It doesn't use the compass. It is constantly polling the GPS to see which direction you are traveling. So if one second you are at a specific location and the next second you are 5 feet to the North, it thinks you are moving North at a speed of 5ft/s. The reason they don't use the compass to see what direction you are traveling is because what if you turn your phone sideways while navigating? Or what if I turn my phone sideways to the left but you turn your sideways to the right? Will you be traveling backwards?

It polls the GPS. And since the GPS on the Vibrant is so inaccurate and unreliable, it sometimes thinks you have moved when you are standing still. That's why it sometimes thinks you are facing backwards when you are at a stoplight. It thinks that you have actually moved backwards a foot or two.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
Google maps most certainly does use the compass to determine which direction the arrow points if you're stationary.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
Tell me, how does the compass know what direction you are facing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
Because it's a COMPASS, man. It's a tiny little magnet(*) inside the phone that a sensor uses to determine whether you're facing north, south, east, or west.

How do you think layar or google sky maps knows which direction you're facing if you're standing still?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gravis86:
I know what a compass is. What I meant was how does it know what direction YOU are facing? I'll answer that question for you. It doesn't. A compass tells which direction is North relative to the orientation of the compass (or in this case phone) itself.

If you assume that the top edge of the phone is always pointing in the direction the user is facing, then the compass would work for that. This is how the Google Sky Maps application works - it assumes that you are facing the same direction as the camera on the back of the phone. So it works.

Assuming that any particular edge of the phone is facing forward during navigation is bad programming. Like I asked earlier, what if I turn my phone upside-down, or one the right side versus the left? The compass will know what direction the phone is facing, but now the phone is facing the opposite direction of me. So does it think I'm going backwards?
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
Of course, if you hold your phone upside down, or backwards, the compass may report an incorrect direction.

That doesn't really have any bearing on my comment, or the fact that google maps WILL use the compass to determine orientation when stationary.

I think you're rebutting an argument I'm not making.
