[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikedick:
I havent tried it in recovery. That might also be a good idea. Ive been getting used to putting my SD card in my wife's Hero in the mean time to get files on/off..... I dont have a sd card reader unfortunately. I did also find a terminal emulator probably similar to what you are talking about. It has suited my needs thus far.

I thought about a return, but its been 6 months or so, my phone is all hacked to hell, and I dont really have the means to turn it back at this point with the lacking usb. Ill just deal with it til January when the wife's phone is up for upgrade. I can snag her upgrade, hand my phone to her as she never plugs her phone into usb. She wont miss it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tblount:
LOTS of people are having this problem and I've googled it for a couple hours on two occassions with NO solution.... and I'm pretty good at finding answers... see

win7secrets.com for example...

anyway, when I first got my EVO in July I simply plugged in the usb and put on about a half dozen of my favorite mp3's ... while on christmas break I decided to add some more stuff and got that stupid malfunction error... I turned off usb debugging as some had suggested and tried other suggestions including making sure it was on disk drive... not sync or recharge... and tried on 3 separate computers... one of which it worked flawlessly before. I'm thinking this screwup was cause by updating the firmware or some other update... I suppose it could have been screwed up by installing an application but I've only put on 3 aps that I can think of... instamapper, advanced task manager and pandora. I really don't think it's going to fix the problem to unistall those aps but I removed instamapper anyway. Hopefully someone will figure out a solution because I'm deep in the woods and there is no sprint store within 2 hours.... and even if there was I doubt anyone there could tell me anything other thant he price of another phone.

I love this phone though but I can't figure out why it comes setup with all those "features" like facebook, flicker, footprints, peep, field stream, amazon and a ton of crap I don't want. WHY oh WHY can't programmers understand it's MY frigging phone? Give ME the option of what I want to drain my battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
In all those reboots, was there ever a time where you had the battery pulled for longer than 2 minutes? Sometimes hardware does get borked but clearing voltage over time clears it up. Try that. If that doesn't work, I would recommend installing forever and then a shipped RUU.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:

Scroll down to Common Problems.

Use the directions to restore USB / SD card functionality.

If that does not work. Uninstall HTC Sync, and any ADB / HBOOT / HTC drivers. Reinstall HTC sync.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
You can turn syncs to manual so you can choose when you want an update. You can flash custom ROMs to get rid of the bloatware. And I completely agree. Sprint should make it so that their software is optional as a separate download. It is something they say they are going to implement.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikedick:
I have indeed tried pulling out the battery for a longer period than 15 minutes, no dice. I have also tried both methods in the "Restoring USB" thread. Also a no go. Ive had Forever installed on this phone for a good while, installed an RUU but this did not solve my issue, nor did Wiping windows on my pc, reinstalling all the drivers/SDK stuff. I think in my case, anyways, I just happened to fry my hardware.

On a side note, I have found an app on the market so I dont have to swap my SD card to my wifes phone to get new roms and updates. Its called Wifi File Explorer. Only works if you have a wifi connection with a computer at your disposal. Pair that with a terminal emulator, and it has been sufficient to my needs. I just try not to do anything too crazy or untested with my phone til next month, when I can grab a new one, and swap this one over to my wife.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
Sounds like you fired your board. I think you have done everything there is to do to try and fix that. I only have a suggestion for file swapping. I use DropBox for everything. I get tired of moving the cable back and forth. Also these little micro usb ports are like the hardware buttons, they have a breakdown time. The less you use it the longer it will last. I just wait till I'm at home with wifi or in 4G area before trying larger files. Plus there is an app for it ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikedick:
I will try dropbox, sounds good. Thank you for the info!
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
I'm about to start working on my bc thesis which is an android app.

I just wanna know what to be aware of when developing an app for android if I want it to run on all devices. Are there any incompatibility issues ? How do I avoid them ?

I didn't even start learning, I just want to know this in advance so I won't be surprised.

My next stop is http://developer.android.com/index.html :)
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
Depends on the application you want to make. It has more to do with different OS versions then actual devices, only thing between devices that you will have to worry about(generally) is screen size. This again depend on the app could be a big or non issue.

Different OS versions support different versions of the API, for example i believe openGL 1.1 was only officially supported after os1.6, and then openGL after 2(mayb 2.1).

There shouldnt be to many issues that can not be overcome.

Congrats on being close to completing your bachelor's degree, i still got around 1.5 years :(.(i assume this i what BC is?...)
[Android Software Development] grandioso:
I still got a lotta work to do, but thanks :)

So this sreen resolution thing... how do I overcome it ?

My app will be an advanced location-aware organiser with alarms, notes (text and voice), calender and stuff, maybe a widget too.

- should I be developing the application for an older version of Android just to by sure ? Or should I stick with the newest ?

- which operations need the user to have root access ? I want them to be able to use my app without root access, which functions do I need to avoid ?
[Android] RunTimeWorld:
I made various purchases with different “main gmail accounts", but always used the same Google checkout.

Now depending on what email I set as first after a new Tom install I can either download a part of what was purchased with that gmail as default or reset and use the other default for the other apps, impossible though to access all purchased, attempts restoring backed up apps result in copyright protection prompts.

Any idea how to solve that?
[Android] husker91:
I'm wondering the same thing, when I was running android on my tp2 I was using a different account.now I use my gmail and I can't figure out how to transfer my old purchased apps
[Android] RunTimeWorld:
I got the answer.. but not very appealing...

After reading true the Google FAQ I found the answer, anything else than satisfying though...:

- According to Google each purchase is associated with your main account - main account as per definition is the one that you've added first after installing a rom, regardless if your checkout account is associated with another gmail account. They state clearly that if one changes email, he has to buy the stuff again.

Usually not the approach that google takes, and without ending in a collective bash, I still gotta admit that this is quite a primitive way of handling customer relation - at least in my opinion.

[Edit:] I made an experiment with apprain.com, hoping they would be the solution for future purchases, but unfortunately the market app is the dominating part in the triangle between user - apprain - market syncing[/Edit:]
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brazildiogo732:
Hey y'all! I am new to this ROM hacking and everything else but in the past month ive been really experienced! I got all the software, apps and everything!

I am wondering if it is possible to extract the HTC Camera software, all the apk's and lib files, and paste them on to the stock android ROM, will it work? I have done it with things like Swype files, and further software files.

So does someone out there know if its possible to put Desire Z Files on the G2 stock android to make it work? and have some D-Z features on the G2?! :D

Also another cool thing would be If I can use the stock android Texting app or texting software on the Desire Z ROM?

Other things that I am thinking about are:

The Dialer

Contacts

Texting UI Software

Also, To anyone that has the Desire Z ROM running on the G2, when tethering, does it only tether 3G Networks? Or is there a feature that enables 4G? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aacrabtree:
So I've tried something similar with the clock widget, but when I tried to install, it failed and said it was missing a certificate. My guess is the same thing would happen for all of these.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brazildiogo732:
Aw man, but some things might work right? what about a stock g2 lickscreen for the desire z rom? i can never get used to sliding that thing down
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Eventually, there will be hacked up ROMs with bits and pieces from every corner of the earth - I wanted the same thing on my Nexus (stock with the HTC cam) and there were a few options (though all had bugs here and there). Given the G2 was *just* permrooted, it might be a few weeks/months before you see some really creative ROMs.

Other stuff, like the lockscreen, can be changed with apps like widgetlocker and such.

You should definitely try out the Desire Z rom, though. It's all kinds of awesome, with new features that weren't there in previous versions of Sense. Hell, the camera app alone is worth it - makes the stock Android camera app look like a joke.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brazildiogo732:
Oh I know man its amazing, I installed it a few days ago and I havent even thought about stock anymore haha its pretty great and the Camera is AMAZING
[G2 and Desire Z General] davidhcrouch:
Any chance anyone knows of a youtube video or teardown guide for the G2 yet? My LCD screen cracked this last weekend, and I should have my replacement screen tomorrow. I have already popped off the back cover, but now it is time to undo the hinges and circuits, and was hoping someone could show me the light!

I replaced the digitizer screen on my G1, so I have successfully done this kinda thing before, but had a great video and directions. The G1 service manual also had teardown instructions, where as I cant seem to find the same thing for the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
There are very detailed teardown pics of a DZ (same as G2) at http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down , hope that helps.

I use Astro file manager. I like it above others as many do. Since updating to 2.1 i can no longer set media files i have as ring tones or notifications. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I can long press the file and the option "set as" comes up but then ringtone is not highlighted as a selectable option. And yes ut is the pro version.

Thanks

hmm when i long a media file i choose music options and i get option to set as ringtone? (which works)

[Vibrant General] alecjake:
If I am at home using my personal router, my wifi works great and I have no problems at all. However, when I am at the library, which is everyday for me, if i try to use their wifi I instantly get this error message that the page cannot be displayed even though my phone claims i am connected to their wifi.

anyone else have this issue? it is extremely annoying and i downloaded wifi fixer but it didnt fix anything.

any ideas?
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
If it works at home then I doubt it's an issue on your side, sometimes on networks such as school campuses and libraries you have to register your device on the network for it to be able to access the internet. Have you asked the library on how you can do that?
[Vibrant General] alecjake:
Well it is a public library and they have fliers up that tell you how to use their wifi. I thought it was an issue with my phone so I didn't bother asking a librarian. If no one else has a solution I will definitely be asking tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Do they use WiFi proxy? Like a redirect to a webpage that requires you to register your MAC.
[Vibrant General] alecjake:
they use something similar (this may be exactly what your talking about and I just dont know it by that name) but its where once you are connected to their internet, you go onto your web and a page pops up asking you to accept their terms of use. the prob i have tho is i cant even get onto that page
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
well, Android has had that issue ever since, and it is still not fixed.

I think Samsung Galaxy S gets around it in the Wi-Fi proxy config (under settings, Wireless and Network, hit the menu button at the bottom of the screen, and go to Advanced), but you need to know the proxy hostname and port (I think the default will be 80 for HTTP requests).

I haven't tested it though.

[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Mine cannot get on WiFi at the rink I go to. Other people could not get their notebooks or netbooks onto that WiFi as well. My HD2 connects to that WiFi just fine, though.

I don't think it's a Vibrant-specific issue.
[Vibrant General] Miragechaser:
I've had a similar problem with the wifi network on my campus. It redirects to a logon page that the vibrant won't even display. Apparently the android browser has an issue with security certificates that aren't configured properly. Froyo is supposed to fix it, but in the mean time try connecting with the firefox browser. I'm able to connect with it, then switch back to the regular browser or any other program. Once you're logged in you're good to go.

im running the unofficial version of froyo but its still not working. im downloading the firefox now. im crossing my fingers for it to work tomorrow!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 010Twitched010:
Ok so I know rooting voids your warranty but if you flash it back to stock before turning it in will they be able to tell that it was rooted?

Also I'm guessing the answer to this question is a yes but to use themes you have to be rooted right?

I've been using android phones for a little over a year now and have been following the rooting scene since a month or 2 after that so I'm not new to android just to rooting lol. O'Hara the MT4G before the G2 and a motor Droid before that. Really liked the stock feel because of using the Droid for so long so I couldn't stand the MT4G. Anyway any insight would be great.

P.s. is there a site out there that has all the roms, kernals and themes all in one spot instead of having to sift through the forums?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
no, if you unroot they wont be able to tell.

yes there is a site, its called xda-developers.com
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Even if you're rooted, just throw a stock rom on there and unless you're taking it back to a pro, most customer service reps won't know the difference. Hell, I took mine back to swap it out at the store last night and she didn't even power it on.

I'm using RC2 now (had nightly before) and in none of them I could wake up the phone by pressing the trackpad. What do you mean by "works like a charm"? This method described here or wanted to say it is already included in CM's ROMs? Because I couldn't find it if it is...
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
Hmm I really don't understand why you need to use this mod if your Legend is running on CM RC which already includes (in CyanogenMod settings) trackball wake (+trackball/menu to unlock) :o

Nevermind...I was too blind to see it, now if found the option. And indeed it works
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
Ok I did some research and it looks like it's the kernel blocking the input after some period of time. It works perfectly when the usb is connected cause then it allows any input. Now since the source isn't available yet I don't think we can get it to work properly.
