[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
whoami and passwd are failing because there is no passwd file. But it's saying you are uid 0, so you are the root user.

What happens when you try the rage method, do you get error messages ? Which bit isn't working exactly ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
If you got temp root then try the gfree method for perm root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakobdroid:
following the steps everything goes well until

# /data/local/tmp/root

i get:

mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists

cp: can't stat '/system/bin/su/su' : Not a Directory
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The "mkdir failed" message is normal, just ignore that.

But the "cp" message indicats a problem. Check the files on your sd card, have you already got a folder called "su" on it before you started this procedure ? Because that will make things go wrong, there needs to be a *file* su on your SD card, after you have copied it across from your PC using "adb push". If you already have an "su" directory, rename it as something else, then start again with the procedure.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lindie:
After much sweat- and tears- I finally managed to install WM6.

Not I'm installing Tomtom again.

This requires my Device ID.

I ran windows update- as advised in the threads- and read the log- presumably this is the bit that says "view Details".

In these details it gives me a device ID that is 32 characters long, with a few dashes thrown in.

Tomtom does not like this.

What am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yvrRome:
I have the Bell i9000M unlocked and used with Rogers SIM. Nothing else has been done to the phone besides installing apps (got the sd corruption on my first i9000m after using Odin and didn't want to go through that again).

Haven't had any problems for over two months but in the past week, I have dropped calls and could no longer make calls again until I restarted the phone. I have dropped calls before (there's always a couple of areas on my drive home where I drop calls using any phone) and have always recovered. But just this past week, I can no longer make or receive calls after a dropped call.

Sometimes the status bar shows the blue circle with a slash, but that changes to white bars. But even with bars I can't make or receive calls. When I check *#0011# it doesn't show that I'm attached to a network.

I can go to an area with strong signal and leave the phone for hours but still cannot make calls. The only solution for me is to restart the phone.

Anybody have this problem and know how to fix it? I've been searching for days but haven't seen a solution.

Thanks,

yvrRome
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contalyst:
I had the exact same problem on my first 2 I9000M's. The only thing I ever found was to replace them. It was annoying as hell and made the phone impossible to use sending or receiving calls. the second one was JH2 with the 3BR fix. Texting was perfect as was the internet (3g).

I searched and searched as well. But I was talking with a bell guy about it and he said it may have to do with an IMEI issue they have a master ticket open 3449667. I know you are on rogers now, but hope that helps in some way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yvrRome:
Thanks, it is very frustrating and dangerous since I'm usually driving when this happens. Unfortunately my 60 days are up and I can't get a replacement. There must be a way to fix it since it was working before. Maybe a SIM issue? I'll keep searching and hoping and if nothing, then I'll do a reset before sending for repair.

[Droid X Android Development] sovrce:
I had to restore my system using the SBF and got everything up and running. The only issue now is that if I have to restart, it's a nightmare. It'll go through the entire boot sequence, not a half boot or that glitchy boot to DROID logo, all the way from the M to my main screen. Then it'll stay up for about 1-2 minutes before rebooting again. No idea what's going on here. I wiped the cache, reformatted my SD card and still, random reboots. The kicker is, once I get it to stay and not reboot (5-10 reboots later) it'll be up and running at 100%, no problems at all. The suspects are:

My modified build.prop file (which I restored to the backup quickly after one reboot)

Overclocker app (I turned off the settings at boot though)

Auto memory manager (turned off the 'apply at boot' setting there too)

and/or

Black status bar "remnants"(?) - I tried to make my status bar black WITHOUT de-odexing and it messed me up bad, that why I had to SBF in the first place. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it? I deleted the framework-res.apk and services.jar from the SD card but I'm at a loss here. It seemed to happen after I changed the build.prop file but I reverted back to stock. Anyone have any ideas?

[HD7 General] homer.web:

[HD7 General] ckacey:
it might not be permanently removed, let's see in the first update or two
[HD7 General] homer.web:
The SMS sync was pain from the start on HTC phones. When the HTC SMS feature was enabled on HD2 it would not synchronize them at all and the HD2 itself was in wierd mode. The only way was to dissable the THC feature and use the Microsoft SMS interface. Than it worked, but sometimes it had the problem updating the number of the SMS in the toolbar.

I was hoping, that in the WP7 would be seamless intergation with the Exchange and what a surprise: they've got rid of this feature at all... This is what I would call an inevitable improvement...
[HD7 General] Adam86:
It was only a pain because like you say the HTC SMS feature broke it. If you used the Microsoft SMS it was fine and therefore the issue was HTC's fault werent it not MS's.

I never had any issue at all with Exchange SMS Sync feature and I think its a shame its been removed considering it was one of the main points of Exchange 2010.

Off the top of my head, I'd suggest looking into the possibility of using your choice of ssh client to connect to the mac, then using a combo of shell scripts / applescripts to interact with DVD Player.

Hey guys,

I updated my SGS to Froyo 2.2 yesterday and it all went smoothly (at least I thought it did). i used Odin to flash the Froyo 2.2 update and it did. Everything was going fine and I rooted the SGS and applied the one click lag fix (via the OCLF app).

The problem lies with answering incoming calls. When someone calls me it disconnects the call before it comes up on the screen, and shows a no-service icon. This then disappears after a few seconds and the phone returns to its "normal" state as if the phone call never took place. i then get a call reminder text from my carrier (Orange) which says I have a missed call from whoever rang me.

I have searched for hours and not come up with anything useful so I am really hoping you guys will be able to shed some light on the situation.

Thanks for your time,

Charles

Has anyone started working on the Verizon Galaxy tab?

I know they were able to make the T-Mobile version make phone calls last night.
[Galaxy Tab General] GMeola:
Well it is totally possible, I saw the Activation dial to *228 upon first turning it on. Even displayed the Phone icon in the top status bar during this process.

I guess it all would depend on getting the correct Phone.apk and supporting files. And then of course getting someone at Verizon to activate this as a "Smartphone" vs. a "Tablet" so that you can' actually make/receive calls.

T-Mo tablet was able to make calls by replacing files from the EU version and using a SIM from a active phone, but I don't think we are going to find anther CDMA version anywhere else except VZW and Sprint that supports voice like the EU versions.

[Galaxy Tab General] rsansores:
Sorry, I was mistaken. My galaxy tab is from Sprint not Verizon. Anyway from what I know both use CDMA network so Verizon tab should work in Iusacell without problem. To activate it I just called the iusacell help desk and provided my device ID. That's all, the activation was successfull but my tab still notify me that I'm using roaming.

I'm planning to visit iusacell directly. In the meanwhile I thing we can just wait for a jailbreak for CDMAs tabs.
[Galaxy Tab General] rsansores:
I almost forgot....

If you go to iusacell web page. There's an activation chat button in the rigth top edge. Just click it and an iusacell employee will ask you for your tab ID (HEX number behind your tab). After some minutes your tab will be activated in Mexico. If you have success could you provide your experience? I'm still trying to register the device in Renaut without luck.
[Galaxy Tab General] alfrediio:
Well, I gave mi tab to some guy that work in iusacell, and is fully working in prepaid even with free internet at 1x (not sure is legal). He need it one full week to configure.

Not roaming, is in renaul (the guy from iusacell registered).

If you want the contact let me know.

Lets hope some one bring phone calls to this baby.
