Congrats you two. Welcome to the club. I'm holding out until the At&t version comes out before I pull the trigger. :D

After that, it's time to defend anything and everything Android in Engadget's comments section. :D:D:D

Hey guys, how do I stop sense from asking me to link people to my contacts? Every time I reply to a Facebook comment through gmail it asks to link "reply to comment". It's annoying
[myTouch 4G General] cheesefrog:
Could someone explain to me what linking contacts does?

How can I do a nand backup on the MT4G? I want to have a backup before doing anything with it. I just got it rooted and I have Clockwork installed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiger013:
are you perma rooted? get rom manager from market, then open it and you will see the flash recovery option. do it and then reboot open it again and go the reboot into recovery option. that will let you know if it took. then go down to backup and restore. then chose backup.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid Poker:
It is perm root, I dl Clockwork and bought the premium when I had the Vibrant. I already click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery but when I go Reboot into Recovery it brings me to the system's recovery.

Never mind for some reason I reclicked Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and went to Reboot into Recovery I was bought into the CLockworkMod Recovery. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fa310tx:
Hello...

I may be treading in dangerous waters, here, but bear with me.

There are so many snapdragon android phones on the market (especially cdma networks), yet there aren't many snapdragon windows phones on the market (especially cdma networks). With windows phone 7 being released, no one will be making new 6.x phones.

I know android can be dual-booted on a windows phone, but can windows mobile be installed on an android phone? I'm referring to a native version (not requiring android to be running). With so many people not liking windows phone 7, it would seem like a very useful market.

[Galaxy Tab General] S_rob7488:
May sound dumb as I have tried to find the answer numerous times, but does the sprint galaxy tab allow sms texts to be sent/received?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab General] dougvan:
Sure does. I have one and I send & receive sms/mms just fine. I am not sure about the $24 data plan but the $59 data plan includes unlimited sms/mms.
[Galaxy Tab General] S_rob7488:
How does it work? I.e. I use my same phone #and everything? Or get a new one....
[Galaxy Tab General] dougvan:
Your data plan applies a new phone# to the device but it is only activated for data/sms/mms. You cant call it. Only send txt's to/from it.

The builtin messaging app works like any other sms app.
[Galaxy Tab General] S_rob7488:
K. Thanks for the info. Last question, which data plan should I get? If I'm not mistaken, they have a 2gb 29.99 or a 5gb 59.99?
[Galaxy Tab General] dougvan:
I would say get the one that works for your data habits and supports your wallet.

Not sure if the $24 plan includes sms/mms.
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
Both plans include SMS/mms. Only difference is one gives 2gb data and the other 5gb data.

.
[Galaxy Tab General] dougvan:
Good to know. Thanks man
[Galaxy Tab General] S_rob7488:
Agreed. Thanks much
[Galaxy Tab General] oxeneers:
I'm curious as to whether or not there is a way to track data usage mid-billing cycle. Anyone know of a way?

I have an EVO 4G for myself on one line, and just opened up a second line for the $29 2GB plan for my Tab. I'm planning to use the EVO for tethering to the Tab when I get close to my data limit on my Tab. I just need to know when/how I'll get close to that limit.
[Galaxy Tab General] dougvan:
When I log into my sprint account, it shows me my real-time (at least very recent) usage of txt and data. Yours should do the same.
[Galaxy Tab General] LordLugard:
You can track usage online or via * 4 talk.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
So I don't know if it's my ROM, my phone, or what, but I've tried 3 pairs of earphones, and sound only comes out of the left earbud. When I push down on the headphone jack I can sometimes get it to play faintly through both, but usually not. I'm putting the earbuds in all the way, they just don't seem to function. I treat my phone very well, and this really sucks, since I bought it for the music player mainly. Do you guys think AT&T will replace it? (After returning to stock, of course) or am I out of luck? Also, the water damage indicator shows no signs of water damage, and the phone itself looks great, since I usually keep it in a silicone case. I'd really appreciate any insight into this problem. =\

Thanks in advance.

**also, I'm running the newest version of Darkyy's Raw steel.
[Captivate General] ageros:
Silly question: Have you checked inside the headphone port for lint?

This happen to me with a phone once. Took me 2 weeks to figure it out. Since my phone was in my pocket all the time I had apparently gotten some lint in the port and packed it in tightly when I next tried to plug in some headphones.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
Yep... Still nothing :( I notice that when I push down on the headphones farther than they "stick" I can get sound to play through both earbuds... huh...
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Have you tried the earbuds that came with the phone?

The phone has a one year warranty, so if something is wrong they will replace it. But why mention the water sensor? Did it get wet at some point?
[Captivate General] MaxRabbit:
Of course AT&T will return it, if you bought it from them...?
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
OK guys, just an update....

So I called AT&T and put on my innocent, "what can haz root?" persona, and after a quick runthrough with a CS rep ("What's a factory data reset?") they issued me a refurb captivate under warranty. Just so everyone knows, this IS covered by the warranty, assuming you didn't do any physical damage to the phone.

As for the headphones, the left earbud on the stock ones went out after 4 months. They were freaking nice while they worked, though. =\

Thank you all for your suggestions and input. :)
[Captivate General] dannb:
I am now experiencing this issue for the second time. The first time it was under warranty so I just sent it off but now it's been over a year and I don't think they'll fix it.

For me it seems like my earbuds are what's causing it. They're really nice Shure brand earbuds with a pin for an in-line mic. I find that when I use them in certain jacks I have to pull the plug out a little bit to have them line up correctly without the sound getting super distorted. I think they're knocking something out of place.

However, since the earphone jack has been shot the second time I have a larger problem, the ear speaker is no longer working. Seemed to happen at the exact same time.

Anyways, I think I might get a OneX after this summer so I'm willing to crack this thing open. Any ideas as to what could be the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] amm009uk:
I like using the HTC Streaming Player on WinMo but I noticed on (Sense) Android its not there.

I see the APK file in /system/app and it shows as installed under Settings-->Applications but I cant find an icon for it. I am using my HD2 with MDJ FroYo Sense Revolution v.1.6. Also tried Core Droid V0.7.

Any advice to get it going?
[Android Apps and Games] thomas_pieps:
Looking for this also, missing the app in my rom
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Ok, well today out of no where my my phone stopped holding a charge, the only way it will turn on is if I keep it on the charger, but right when I disconnect it, it turns off. Any ideas why?

Also I am running FroYo 4.2 and Mammon's ROM on top of it.

But it boots into download mode with out the charger in
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
This just started happening to me. The phone won't even stay one when I have it plugged in :confused:

I'm still on 2.1 stock rom/kernel. I had my phone plugged in all morning and now this :cool:
[Epic 4G General] hdnet1:
You both just need a new battery, either the chemistry in the cell is shot or it could be the charging/lvc circuit in the pack.
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:
Well the problem went away, I just used ODIN and went back to stock and then left it charging all night
[myTouch 4G General] bijanian:
Damn, I hate the feeling of going over to wipe a "smudge" from your screen but finding out it is a scratch. Worst part is, I bought screen protectors but haven't put them on yet :'( . Am I the first? What would you guys do if you were me? Go exchange in store? Call and make them send me a new one?
[myTouch 4G General] Kline:
Any clue how? I keep my phone in my old G1 nylon sleeve but have no protector or shell/skin/etc on it otherwise. It's either in the sleeve or in my hand, though.
[myTouch 4G General] jjlean:
Put your story on FML and see what people say.......... That does suck.
[myTouch 4G General] bijanian:
I think I left a plastic ball point pen in my pocket with my phone for a few minutes earlier today. Maybe the tip is metal? Also I keep my keys in my other pocket but MAYBE, SOMEHOW my keys got put in the same pocket as my phone (which I severely doubt). Because My keys are the only things I can think of that would have scratched it =(. I'll do a bit my investigation later.... It sucks too because if I exchange it I'm afraid I'll get a phone with lint under the screen. My first mytouch had lint under the screen so I exchanged it for my current one, which WAS perfect. Gosh, I'm so pissed right now..
[myTouch 4G General] bijanian:
Haha, maybe I will.
[myTouch 4G General] theinternot:
Damn. That sucks. I just took my screen protector and my gel case off. I hate he added bulk of the case, but hate trying to get it in and out of my pocket even more. And the lint it collects is super awesome. Just takes away from the aesthetics so much.

Also, I had a screen protector I got off amazon... 5 for $1.99 delivered. They are identical to zagg except for less surface texture... but, still rubbery and tacky feeling.

Has anyone found a full face screen protector that is the rigid glass like type?

Love using the phone bareback, but I know I will regret sooner rather than later ;)
[myTouch 4G General] Kline:
Sounds like most relationships....right? :D
[myTouch 4G General] jrb1000:
make up a story about how you have a hardward issue and you have tried to master reset the phone. then they will send you a warranty replacement.

i always do this once my phones get too beat up :D
[myTouch 4G General] pack:
just call 611 and say your (speaker phone or track pad or anything) doesnt work and theyll have you do a factory reset once you say you finished reseting the phone and tell them it still doesnt work theyll send you a new one under the 12 month warrenty

lol watch out it gets addicting :/ anytime i dropped a phone id just return it lol ive seen over 20 G1's pass through :/ only thing you they dont replace is back cover and battery

^^ LMAO :)
[myTouch 4G General] splat matt:
Realook - looks like the phone is naked.

I got mine from Amazon for 10.99 (comes with two).

Does anyone have a backup or rom dump for the stock Vodafone Australia Desire HD ROM? If anyone could upload this and post it on the forum it would be a great back up for xda members from AUS.
[Desire HD Android Development] tnjfitzy:

[Desire HD Android Development] SkilletDesire:
Follow the instructions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841076

In recovery back up the rom then use a file manager like astro from market to place the back up on your sd card. Then were got to find a way to upload it so others can access it. Your gonna have to do a factory reset so your personal info is not included though before you back it up. Unless anyone has a better method?
[Desire HD Android Development] tnjfitzy:
Sorry I am a bit of a newb to htc and android. I went from owning a nokia 5800 to this awesome chunk of technology.

So really all i have to do is these steps after as I have already permarooted mine.

Time for next step!

2) Install engineering version of HBOOT to get S-Off

2.1) Download sfjuockr DHD script for flashing HBOOT from here

http://xdaforums.com/atta...0&d=1289854953

2.2) Unzip it and copy it to Your SDCard (It's important that You have on Your SDCard root directory with name DHD and all files inside this directory.

(I have run into the strange problem for which I'm not sure is it problem with my PC or DHD, each time when I connected my DHD via USB cable my SDCard was automatically mounted as Disk Drive instead of just being in "Charge only" mode. I resolved this by removing back cover and ejecting SDCard and inserting it again while phone was operational, which is very unsafe thing to do!).

2.3) Run Terminal Emulator

2.4) Type su

2.5) Type "sh /sdcard/DHD/check

(Please be aware that You have to type "sh" in front of command)

2.6) If everything went OK type

sh /sdcard/DHD/backup

2.7) If this also went OK proceed with

sh /sdcard/DHD/hboot

This command will install engineering hboot which have S-Off turned off.

I hope I can help in some ways..

Just a quick question, Can I use any cooked rom on my phone or does it have to be a cooked VHA dhd rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] SkilletDesire:
You can use any. If its rooted it can be unrooted and returned to stock anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] BigDook:
I've just flashed my VHA DHD to a stock rom and having a backup would be real helpful encased I need to return under warranty. Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
After I got my nexus back from HTC for a faulty power button, my nexus has been rooted via a replaced motherboard. Now I have already root my phone and unlocked the bootloader, however when I try to flash the recovery image I get

sending 'recovery' (4074 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

Also I can somehow access recovery, and it looks as it should. However when I try to backup my rom it says "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" and similar things when I try any other the other options. Could someone please help with this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
How are you trying to flash it? Fastboot is the best foolproof way to do flash the recovery. I have never really seen that error before, what recovery are you trying to flash?

Your nandroid error is most likely because the sdcard thinks it's still mounted, or is mounted. Also, I don't know if this still happens but make sure you only do a backup, not backup +ext if you don't have an ext partition on the sdcard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
he's obviously using fastboot...

Did you make sure recovery.img had the right MD5 hashes as amon_ra posted?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
I have check the MD5 checksums, and they match up. Also, i am using fastboot to flash, and I am trying to flash RA-nexus v2.0.0. Are you suggesting that I remount the sd card to get it to flash the recovery image?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
I would suggest you try in command line with the adb commands as follows:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

chmod 775 /system/bin/flash_image

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

reboot recovery

You need flash_image for this, check the wiki for the file...don't forget to put the recovery in the root of the sdcard and rename it to recovery.img for convenience purpose
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
What do I do with flash_image? Also this device came back stock with frg 83, which I am trying to flash the recovery on. When I type in adb shell, I get "error: device not found" even though I can see it through "fastboot devices".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
flash image has to be placed in the root of your sd card as well as the recovery!

As for the adb shell, try enabling USB Debugging in Setting > Applications > Development

Make sure you're rooted too (use SuperOneClick if you're not already)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
I can get through that string of commands until

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

reboot recovery

Then it says "No such file or directory". I have already rooted, and both the flash_image and recovery file have been placed in the root directory of the sd card.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Well, after you did that string of commands, does the problem persist?

Also, do you have at least 400MB free on your SD card?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
Well, I can't get

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

reboot recovery

to work as it responds with "No such file or directory". Even if I go through after the errors, the recovery still gives 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" and similar messages. Do I need to find a way to put the file install-recovery.sh in my sd card root directory if so, where can I get it? In addition when I try to flash recovery with nexus one superboot I get "(remote: signature verify fail)" even though the MD5 sum matches up.

Yes I have over 5 gbs on the sd card.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
rm = remove

The steps you are trying to perform with the 2 rm command is to remove the 2 files that automatically rewrite your recovery.

If you reboot without succeeding in removing these files, the recovery image you just flashed will be written over by the stock recovery...

Since you have rebooted, and are still having the problem, you need to do the whole list of commands again... be careful how you type...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
Danger, it seems as I can't remove those two files as I get the error message "rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, No such file or directory". Any ways to successfully remove them?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Sounds like the files aren't actually there then, unless you're making a typing error...

Did your recovery update after the last attempt? Did it look different, what is the recovery version that is listed on the recovery screen?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
I have been flashing different themed recoveries to see if any data transfers, and the background changes. But as before the actions all say "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" or something similar.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
if the rm doesn't work it's fine.

But what about your flashing command? It simply works or outputs an error too?

When u flashed themed ones, did the background change?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
The background did change when I flashed the themed ones, however it still outputs errors like "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" when i try to run any of the options under recovery. The fastboot flashing command gives this "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)" error.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
When you try running a NAND backup or restore a previous NAND?

When restoring, the backup must be at the exact position where it was when you did it: /sdcard/nandroid/HT#####/BCD######
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
I was trying to backup my current image, and this happens with all other actions even the shut down action on the recovery page just with "Run 'reboot -p' via adb!"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
lawl xD that seems useful...

well, that's extremely odd to be honest...uhm...I think you should try and contact amon_ra if possible...He knows the code of his recovery and might know what's wrong...

I really have no clue, sorry =\

PS: Have u tried clockworkmod recovery?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
Alright I will try contacting amon_ra, and I will try clockwork tomorrow. I was going for amon_ra recovery to get Sense HD on it with sd partition. Thanks for the help though I learned more stuff about my phone.

EDIT: Wow, clockwork installed like a charm, and I didn't even have to do anything. I'm now a clockwork convert.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Seems very strange.

At this point, I'll have to agree with flashing a new recovery (perhaps via ROM Manager), or maybe even reverting back to stock and starting again...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
It doesn't seem like a recovery issue though, nor hardware either since he would get bad block errors...

Seems more like whatever controls the scripts is messed up...perhaps the bootloader is messed up? no clue
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
The only thing I can think of, is that the recovery doesn't have full permission, so maybe root access didn't take... I've heard VISIONary giving better results (but I've never heard of this problem). Either way, recovery isn't working correctly, so I would try an alternate, just for S&G...?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Older bootloader may not be compatible with Amon's latest? (I'm clutching at straws now, and I'm actually thinking a complete re-image would be the smartest move).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajer:
Clockwork works fine now, but I will try flashing amon when I get home today.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Great to hear...at least there is an alternative is amon_ra doesn't work
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Great!

Report back, and let us know how flashing Amon goes?

Also, if you don't succeed with 2.0, you could try 1.9 or 1.8.1.1 (or lower if you have AMOLED, but I don't see the point in flashing anything older).

Also, would you mind letting us know what HBOOT version you have (because I'm curious)?
