Is it safe to assume you don't have good nandroid (before mucking with the device) ? And is update.zip still on your sdcard?

good day.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
You should be able to completely remove voodoo, then Odin to stock and re-root from there.

The touch screen doesn’t work properly on Desire

I got the HTC Desire with contract from UK Three mobile,It had a problem with touch screen, It worked normally but sometimes the touch screen didn’t work but it just sometimes. While the touch didn’t work I was difficulty to use with buttons and I couldn’t type on it. So, I sent it back to service centre to repair this problem. The service connect me, they couldn’t find any fault on it. I think the screen happens sometimes and they didn’t found at that time. Now I get my phone back and I still having problem. So I try to change firmware and now I already upgrade to Froyo (2.10.405.2) and think about problem in firmware. The new firmware work on it and it also have touch screen problem sometimes. The problem is so bad and sometime it is very difficulty to open @ (slide to unlock) screen. Please give me some help about my Desire. Thank you.
[Fascinate General] Jpac175:
i do* have a nandroid on my sd card but i dont know how to load it with out cwm...and i cant do the voodoo remove b.c i dont have cwm
[Fascinate General] Jpac175:
also the phone does not show my account in the accounts page and when i try to sign in it says "cant establish a reliable data connection to the server" "this can be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services"
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
does it show the airplane in the taskbar?
[Fascinate General] Jpac175:
nope its got full 3g any way i can force the nandroid to load ?

*edit* the nandroid i thought i had was from my moto droid so ...i dont have one for this :(
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I should have read more carefully. :) Sorry.

Then I can assume you have tried to ODIN the CWM kernel and dropped the update.zip on your sd card?
[Fascinate General] Jpac175:
ok i got cwm working now what ?
[Fascinate General] Jpac175:

I accidently clicked this app and opened it and I get an email saying my location is posted on a map on the web for everyone to see. This is a crazy invasion of my privacy. I don't want any stalkers nor am I one so I have no need for this app. So I need to know the name of the apk file so I can delete it. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] hgmarcia:
Did u disable it through settings of the latitude app already?
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
been discussed before, it's integrated with google maps, and none of the stock bloatware can be deleted anyway.

if you want, you can dis-able google maps, once you've installed visionary, which gives you temp root.

here's a link to the thread over in development section on dis-abling apps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809231

if you search for visionary thread, you'll see instructions for installing it - but read the entire thread - right now they're on vs r12 but there have been some issues with it - i'm running r10 and happy with it, not sure why they continued tweaking it

i'd wait till the developer (paul o'brien) fixes r12 before installing it
[G2 and Desire Z General] rymaples:
All you have to do is open Latitude and sign out. Geez. Plus, the only people that can see your location is the people you send an invitation to. The app has nothing to do with stalking, dang you're paranoid. My wife and I use it with each other because of our hectic schedules.

I am rooted that's why I wanted to know what the app was called in the system folder. The com.google. name ya I did disable it thru the app I just wasn't sure about this app. And no disrespect by asking the 2 guys that use it with their spouses but why on earth would u need to know were ur spouse is at all times sounds like u guys r the paranoid ones lol. Why not just text ur wife and sey "hey babe were r h at" if u wannt to meet up or something. I jsut don't get the point of this app and was worried about my privacy.

i got my new evo on sunday and i had best buy install the invisible shield for me. i know it takes about a day or two to dry but it is not. im going on day 5 and i can still see wetness under the film. is this normal or should i maybe buy a different screen protector? :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
You definitely shouldn't see wetness. A few patches of micro bubbles would be normal. I used XO Skinz and it took almost a week for all the tiny bubbles to disappear. I would just take it back to bb and see what they say. They might just throw a new one on for you.

Sent from my HTC SUPERSONIC
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingzfan:
Take it back, tell them you want another. If they tell you to go through the manufacturer tell them "no Im in the 30 day return policy and you can exchange it". They will exchange yours and put a new one on. Ask someone in geeksquad to put it on and not the mobile dept.

just bought a phantom skinz one, they look 10x better than invisible shield.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
If you still see wet streaks, it's possible the BB employee applied too much applicator solution and the liquid may have seeped under the glass. I did this before on my EVO and luckily everything dried out with no water damage. Just bring it back and have them check it out. If it is indeed water under the screen, make them give you a new one or a refund if you paid for any services/items.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
I work for BB and I love doing shields, they're pretty fun and I'm good at it. If the bubbling doesn't go away, take it back and have them put on another one. They shouldn't give you any trouble about it. You only have to go through the manufacturer after the first 30 days.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Got_Evo?:
Nobody will treat your Evo like you would, so do it yourself or install another type of protector. BB don't care about your Evo because its not there's. Would they let you install one on there wacked out iPhone? Good luck.

Put it in a ziploc bag with a handful of uncooked rice and leave it overnight. It'll be dry in the morning.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
its not under the lcd, it's under the film. not gonna bother now as my phantom skin will be here next week.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
damn shield is still not 100% dry after almost 2 weeks. that best buy guy must of douched my phone down. im still waiting for my phantom skinz to get here, hopefully today. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
I bought my first evo at bb and had them install a invisible shield. As soon as he handed the phone to me I popped the back cover off and the water stickers were activateded. Handed the phone right back to him and said I wanted a phone with an intact warranty. He gave me a new one and I went with a shield that does not use liquid.

Anybody else using Dell Stage? It's the unreleased launcher for the Dell streak. I loaded it up on my Evo yesterday and it works great. The only bugs are the Phone icon not working and the Social widget not logging you in. Anybody out there tried it or have an update for it?

Posted from my EVO 4G running Azrael 2.4 with Dell Stage :P
[EVO 4G General] Zysoclaplem:
I installed in a little while ago. I had the same issues on a Sense rom, so I switched to the Cyanogen rom and the phone icon works now and the email does to. The email doesn't show up on the screen but it does allow you to add an address.

The contact pictures don't sync correctly from Facebook so unless you have contact photos stored locally or via Google contacts with your email, the pictures won't show on the contacts widget.

I cannot seem to find any settings for it. I don't know if there are any.

All in all it works well and it's refreshing to try a launcher that isn't stock, but also isn't sense.

[Epic 4G General] anystupidname:
I was a winblows mobile user that always wanted to go to android and finally did recently.

From what little I could find about the subject, it looks like android kernels should support btrfs both on root/internal devices and sdcard. Is this correct?

Are there any ROMs (for Epic?) that are on btrfs?

If yes, is there a good repo / index of android ROMs for Galaxy S devices?

If not, can somebody please offer some guidance for a "kitchen" equivalent to roll your own. I've used desktop linux distros for 5 years but I'm an android newb.

I read the thread about lagfix but I'm not sure of any useful implications as far as this question...

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
Eclair runs 2.6.29, which is the first mainline Linux release to include btrfs. But btrfs isn't enabled in the stock Epic kernel config, not sure if it's enabled in others. That said, 2.6.29 is quite old in terms of supporting an experimental file system.

I don't think so, but what would be the advantage of it? btrfs primarilly targets scalable storage--"large" storage clusters with tens of spindles, at least. The limit of 1 GBish (I forget) internal storage and 32 GB SDHC storage wouldn't benefit much from it, except for transparent compresion and COW, maybe. But even then, ROMs are basically read-only.

I guess you could use btrfs on an SD card if you really wanted, but it would only be mountable by btrfs-capable hosts.
[Epic 4G General] anystupidname:
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking for both internal and external storage. See http://lwn.net/Articles/387196/ for why.
[Epic 4G General] playfish:
btrfs is optimized for flash storage, it provides data security, performance and compress ability. I think it is suitable for android. but it is not stabilize enough for business use. maybe next generation of android will support it :-)
[Epic 4G General] seo-agentur:
BTRFS - optimized - true, but ...

btrfs is still a beta filesystem, it's not recommended for the usage in productive enviroments. I tested it on my debian server and it's a very performant filesystem, but some stuff is still missing like fsck.btrfs.

although it's possible to compile your own kernel with btrfs support ; ) take a look at the cyanogemod wiki / compile your own kernel.

can anyone send me the .apk of the think free office that comes with our phone? mine was gone agter flashing froyo. i really like that application for text documents. thanks!

Its in the market...there is a free version with some features, possibly what you need it for, and a paid version, which is very taxing. i cant find it in my backups either.

Email me guys I will send it to u that way thegreat520@gmail.com

for some reason it wont attatch

Hey i just wanted to say thanks for pulling thinkfree and uploading it i have been without it for awhile now and miss it its definately better than adobe for reading ebooks. Thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aggourodolmas:
Excuse me for my stupid question but I would like to know if it is supported for HTC Wildfire.. I installed the apk file and asks for activation but it gives a message something like "cannot be activated in this hardware device".. The application runs perfectly but every time I run it, it gives me the same message..

Any ideas?

TIA
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DKYang:
All I know is that it was for the Vibrant, so that could be the reason why.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aggourodolmas:
That's true!

After a quick search I didn't find something familiar on Wildfire forums. I was wondering if there is any way to overpass this message for Wildfire. I am not satisfied with Quickoffice that is preinstalled and I find Thinkfree is more useful and powerful when editing a file.

Anyway! Thank you for your quick response! All we have to do is to compromise with this "activation" message or wait for something else in the future!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iynfynity:
I think there's an available in the Market.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DKYang:
Yes, there is a free version in the Market, but I believe it's not the exact same. Reason why I say that is because when I try to download documents via dropbox/websites, it always says there is a non-compatible app to view it and never downloads it, but when I have this Think Office version installed, everything is fine. Perhaps it's just me, but I find there is a difference between the Vibrant's and Market's version from my experience.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aggourodolmas:
It is true that there is a free version in the Market but it is the free version which is only for viewing. I would like the full version which is for editing as well. The problem is that in Greece paid apps are not supported via Market and still I am with the stock rom, rooted though. Perhaps in the near future I will flash a custom rom to "unclock" paid apps but since then I wanted to know if there is a way to overpass that "activation" message by doing... something...!! maybe edtiting a file with root explorer...

anyway! thank you for your replies!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] coolpixs4:
To get activation you have to edit build.prob from /system directory Change model and board name to GT-I5800 or GT-9000 or others model that you know; like: ro.product.device=GT-I5800 and ro.product.board=GT-I5800, save, reboot, connect to the Net and get activation code

After activated you can change back to orgiginal one
[Focus General] Mallux:
so, i just synced a movie to my Focus. It took quite a while, because it had to convert the video, which was high quality to begin with. However, no that it's been converted and i'm watching it on my phone it looks terrible. It's like watching youtube and not youtube in HD. My Tilt 2 had better video quality than this.

Has anyone successfully synced a movie to their phone without it being reduced to trash?

Up until now, i've been able to tolerate the small issues, but if this is the bottom line when it comes to video quality, ATT can have the phone back.
[Focus General] Andrmgic:
That's because the zune software doesn't do as good a job of encoding video as a manual encoder like Handbrake would do..

Try converting with Handbrake (http://www.handbrake.fr)

and entering the following into the "Advanced" section.. on the bottom of the window and hit enter.

ref=5:bframes=0:me=umh:subq=9:mixed-refs=1:8x8dct=0:analyse=all:cabac=0

These are settings that the Zune HD would take and play without the software re-encoding.. so maybe WP7 will be similar in that regard.
[Focus General] Mallux:
thanks! I hope it works!
[Focus General] siralex241:
poor video quality regarding youtube...if you watch youtube with a wifi connection the picture is ok to watch in comparision to watching youtube on 3g...for some reason the phone uses a low quality for playing youtube and other videos over 3g...hopefully someone makes a tweaking program or a work around because my att fuze played gorgeous video over any connection
[Focus General] rkorzuch:
I used handbrake to convert a couple dvd's and they look great on the device. They were actually video's I dd for my Captivate but they lok great on the Focus as well.

Well, the fact that you have posted this apology shows maturity and a good attitude, I applaud you for that.

I don't know the circumstances you talk of, but that doesn't matter. We all get excited and hyped up when we get a new "toy" and want to get to know as much about it as possible, so it's understandable.

XDA is a simply amazing place to learn about Windows Mobile or Android, or any common pda/smartphone. You'll find the more you participate in discussions and play with new roms and applications, the more you'll learn...but most importantly, make sure you have fun ;)

Thanks

I appreciate the response, it is encouraging to see that someone understands where I'm coming from.. this is the first response I've had in around 7 different posts sinse I asked about the security of my phone after rooting it and trying new roms... Considering the fact that I use my phone for online banking sometimes, I realize I should have formed my question a little more tactfully instead of asking what's to keep a developer from creating some kind of back door in some of the developements to have access to other folks' information... After reading the rules and just observing the great respect and credibility among the members of this forum, I'm kind of ashamed to have even asked a question like but anyways that neither here or there...again, I do appreciate your response.
