[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehoovie:
Android Open Accessories added in Honeycomb 3.1 & Android 2.3.4

I don't think the Desire Z hardware supports HOST mode. It looks like that if you can get Android Honeycomb 3.1 working on this device, then this would be possible.

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/05/bright-idea-android-open-accessories.html

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/index.html

So, it seems possible, just not just yet.

edit: HOST APIs will require Android 3.1 (API level 12) the Open Accessories API is backported to Android 2.3.4 (API level 10)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endolith:
If the hardware doesn't support it, then no amount of software will make it supported. Software is not magic.

This seems to say it's not supported in Desire Z or G2: http://usbhost.chainfire.eu/

Hello i have a build on my sd 2gb card and i want to copy everything to a new card. Is this possible only by copying all the files? My new card is 4gb. Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcvidi:
Yes.

Extract the card from the phone and from your pc make a copy of this content.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:

Is there an app for that??

I got limited quota of the mobile data network usage. Can I use something to control which apps access the internet and use the mobile data network?

or maybe disable loading all pics (Not just the browser)??

Hi all, i just noticed that i no longer get calendar notifications, no sound and no message on screen. It's been a while since i changed any settings or installed cabs and i don't know how long this has been going on so i don't know what caused it.

i checked Settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab

event - reminders, and made sure display message on screen, sounds, vibrate etc is checked, but none of those options actually happen when an appointment is due.

[Droid 2 General] enzojrc:
Ok yet another noobish question from me.

I have searched the boards and I think I know what exactly motoblur is....but I still would like to know what exact functions I will lose if I go to a ROM that does not include motoblur. The one thing I would hate to lose is my facebook sync where I can see status updates when I call someone. Is that a part of blur?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Facebook is part of Fission so I assume it isn't considered Blur
[Droid 2 General] wsfanatic:
The status update in your contacts are part of blur. You might try the Fused ROM if you want the best of both options for your needs.
[Droid 2 General] jj702561:
blur: malicious software that assumes your a 15 year old girl who does nothing but use social networks all the damn day and gets really upset if you dont know what becky is thinking when she thinks it...

also blur assumes that you have a power socket in your hip so you can constantly charge your phone because after all it takes some power to keep pushing you all those updates...

(thats what i think of it anyway, some people like it but its not for me)
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Lol I like that definition. You should put that on wikipedia.
[Droid 2 General] gunz.jones:
Try squid's fullblur. Most of the stuff removed. Blur is also the way your desktop works and some of the widgets not connected to social. It's like redhat, fedora, and mandrake....different flavors of linux goodness.
[Droid 2 General] whezzel:
The facebook status updates in the contacts is built in to android 2.2 u just have to setup facebook contact sync in ur settings and the facebook app settings. Its not a part of blur

[Nexus One General] nexus9988:
As of 11/19/10...

If some one could give me a brief crash course on what i need to know between stock roms, OTA updates, Deoedxed/Oedxed etc.

And in addition im looking for what is the

best stock rom i could use for OTA updates?

and

the best stock room i could use for Clockwork updates?

p.s. im new so go easy if i said somthing that don't make sense...:o
[Nexus One General] sonnysekhon:
If you flash a deodexed ROM, you will get OTA updates but willl not be able to install them as they are odexed.

Deodexed means the framework is tweaked for theming purposes and other customization. IMO, its the the way to go if you're rooted.

This is my choice of rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714184

Very close to stock but with enough goodies to appease me. Also the the Dev is super active and puts out rooted builds of OTAs within hours.

To update the Clockwork recovery, simply use ROM manager.

[Desire HD General] mox123:
The glass screen on my desire hd isnt flat abd the right hand centre edge is slightly raised and half a milimetre raised, its noticable if i run my thumb across the right side i can feel the glass edge, but not when i rub it over the left side which is fit perfect.

Could you guys check yours and see if you have something similar
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
I don't have mine yet (tomorrow I will), but this is a no brainer. Send it back to HTC and your store and get a new one.

It shouldn't be this way and if it really is the higherst point the change of dammage (it can come from repeatingly getiing it in and out your pouch even). is high.

Sad to hear it isn't so good.

EDIT: it isn't a problem if you feel the metal. That's good. But the screen should never be higher then the rest of the frame.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
in a earlier thread i raised this, i have since found out that it might not be a design issue.

A years manufactures warranty exists on the phone... so to some extent ill be ok if the screen becomes worse.

if you want to send it back, make sure you read the warranty carefully though as they may also be something to catch you out. make sure you don't have custom firmware as it potentially can void the warranty
[Desire HD General] mox123:
If we can get other desire hd users to confirm how their phones are it would be great, im over the moon with this phone. I could probably live with it, but its brand new and thats how it was out the box, could other xda users please inspect their dhds closely please?
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
There are sooo many threads open regarding this issue.

It seems like the screen in intentionally lower than the case to protect the screen from scratching when you face the phone down.

However, the screen should be equal for both sides but yours seems unequal so it might be faulty
[Desire HD General] mox123:
This is what the issue is, see in the picture, anyone got anything like this at all?
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
Okay I think yours is faulty for sure...I haven't seen anyone reported that at all. The screen should definitely be lower than the case.
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Definately not normal mox123. I have had 3 DHD in total now and can say that none of the screens were raised like this. I have come to the conclusion, however, that the build quality of each handset varies alot!
[Desire HD General] mox123:
Im gonna call the network on monday and get this sorted out, overall handset is perfect apart from this minor flaw
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
I post this up in case it helps anyone else.

My phone had been working fine, and then following an exchange sync, everytime I went to the Manila email preview tab, no envelope showed up, and after a few seconds Manila would restart.

A soft reset did not help.

All the advice I could find directed me towards the manila xml files BUT I believe this was actually the result of something else.

When I went in to my email via the windows email option on the start menu, I could see a surprising email with no subject or sender. This was not present on outlook in my work PC in front of me.

This email appeared to be spam with just images attached (but I did not open them). Deleting this on my phone immediately resolved the issue with Manila.

I suspect it was some kind of a partial image of an email stopped by the exchange server as suspicious.

I think I have seen this before on mine as well although I might not have noticed the problem with manila before just deleting the email.

Just in case this stops someone rooting through their kitchen for the fault when that may be unneccessary.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
UPDATE:

This issue still happens now and then.

My latest theory is that it seems to be linked to images in the emails.

The latest one I have with no sender no subject actually has the contents from an earlier email (picked up at the most recent sync) which had images in it as well as words. There seems to be no server side issue so I presume it is an issue with outlook on the phone.
[Epic 4G General] snovvman:
While playing with my phone at some point, I thought I came across a menu where one can select if the Epic's address book is accessible via bluetooth.

I have been looking for the access, and haven't been able to find it again. Looking at the dialer codes and menus, still nothing.

Does anyone know of this and how to get to it?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] shaolinmastr:
I've never seen it in the menu, but when I synced my BT I did get the message to allow access to my address book.
[Galaxy Tab General] mail_e60:
Does anyone have any tricks on how to make the most of the terminal emulator that is available for install on the Galaxy Tab? I have been having a hard time being able to use tab completion on the command line, and finding the Up/Down arrow buttons (such as to run through history on the command line).

Does anyone know if the full Bash environment and/or GNU/CoreUtils are available? The BusyBox I installed on my rooted Tab seems quite limited.

Any thoughts on the Android terminal emulator (specifically on the Tab) are very much appreciated.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Since the middle of November (the 14th is the best guess of the date) network location services have not worked properly for a number of people using network-unlocked android phones on the Rogers network. Network location services refers to cell tower location information used to determine the rough location of the phone without using GPS or WiFi.

The problem:

1. Devices are able to determine location using network location after a fresh OS install (ROM Flash) or a factory data reset and full wipe of all caches.

2. Devices are not able to determine location using network location after the phone has been restarted.

What is known:

1. The problem occurs on different hardware (Nexus one, HTC Desire, HTC Desire Z, Samgung i9000m).

2. In Canada the problem is specific to Rogers’/Fido network. These same devices use network location services without problems when used with a Bell or Telus SIM card. There are reports in this thread of similar problems occurring on US carriers as well.

3. The problem appears to be specific to Froyo (Android 2.2).

Temporary Work Around:

Manually stopping the Google Services Framework, clearing data and cache (via Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All) and rebooting allows the device to use network location services again - until the next reboot. This procedure will mess up your Market temporarily...simply uninstall one of your market apps and re-install and it will work. Alternatively Force Stop Market and clear data and cache (may need to be done twice).

Dec 4th Update:

I've found a fix that works for some devices (mine included). See: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9576852&postcount=108

[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Ok...I've done some more digging and am really stumped by my problem...and am hoping someone more experienced could help shed some light on what might be going on...

After no less than 15 full wipes (from recovery) and reflashes (with 4 different ROMs) I experience the same following problem with location services;

1) On the very first boot up following a ROM flash, once I enter my APN settings my HTC Desire immediately picks up my location (GPS and WiFi Off) and correctly displays my home location in the HTC weather widget. If I launch Google Maps, it can also track my location without GPS or WiFi (i.e. just cell network connection).

...but

2) As soon as I reboot my device after a fresh flash, all location services stop working. HTC weather widget will for ever after just show "Current Location" and Google Maps will no longer track my motion without WiFi or GPS.

Pulling some logcats shows the following;

After initial boot up following a full Wipe and ROM flash I get the following logcat entires for the weather widget collection my home location (Toronto).

Following my first reboot (after all 15+ wipe and ROM reflashes) I get the following entries in my logcat...showing location service failing.

Any thoughts/clues as to what could possibly be causing location services to work on first bootup...and then for ever after stop working after the first subsequent reboot!? Makes no sense.
[General Questions and Answers] kumprise:
Ok, first, I have (had) the same problem. As I already answered on Leedroid thread, I've "solved" it by deleting town I'm in from Weather, than added it again. If it doesn't help, nevertheless stop flashing, it sorts itself out after some time, I know cos I already had they problem earlier.... ROM manager does not help, nor does maps/GPS. Cheers!

Damn it, it's back :( Well, that much for "solution", as soon as I turned wifi on (data went off) it shows Surgutski reyon...
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
This is so weird.

So to troubleshoot further;

1) A friend with the same phone on a different network (Telus vs Canada) was able to get cell-tower-only location based services (HTC Weather and Google Maps) to work while we were in the same location. So HTC+Telus = Works. HTC+Rogers = Fail

2) Another friend with a different phone (Samsung) on the same network and the same physical location was able to get google maps location based services working on cell phone towers only...while mine still did not work. So Samsung+Telus=Works. HTC+Rogers=Fail

3) Putting the sim card of my friend's (#2 above) into my phone still did not get location based services to work. So not a problem with my sim card (suggested by Rogers)

4) I've fully wiped my phone. Reformatted my SD card and repartitioned it. Reflashed a ROM....location based services work initially. So it is not a hardware or radio problem.

5) After first reset it stops working and never comes back....so wtf!?

wtf... I one thing I haven't tried is put a Telus sim-card into my phone to see if my phone/ROM will get location based services through Telus. Or I guess I could flash a stock ROM...maybe I'll wait for a week to see if things settle themselves out as you suggest...

*groan* I hate it when things don't work the way they should...
[General Questions and Answers] kumprise:
yes, I know what you mean. Last night when my location went bananas, my clock also went bananas, that is it went 2 hours ahead of our local time. Since I use Desire for alarm, I went to Clock, Menu, Local time Settings, and cleared Automatic (use network-provided values). The clock returned to normal, and so did the location.

I'm surprised only two of us reported this problem. TheIntruder claims it's Google related - there was a box to be checked during setup, something like "allow Google to use your location". I did checked that box, if I remember correctly.

This "method" of mine is like shooting in the dark, I'm afraid.
[General Questions and Answers] jehuty140:
Hey there Rumball!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm also having the same problem with my unlocked Nexus One (I'm also with Rogers). It started around the same time as your first post. I can get the cell tower location working after I get a WIFI fix but if I moved out of my "zone" after that it just doesn't update.

Anyway I guess I'm happy because I'm not the only one with the problem and it does seem related to Rogers. I do have a friend working as a field tech at Rogers, I'll try to contact him and I'll let you know.
[General Questions and Answers] Quantus:
Greetings all,

I am experiencing precisely the same problem. I am using a Samsung i9000M (Bell Vibrant) unlocked on the Rogers network, and sometime in the last two weeks cell-based network location ceased working.

I can add a little information to the discussion, though:

I have a rogers-branded Bold 9000

I have an unlocked Samsung i9000M (currently running Doc's deodexed Bell Froyo leak)

I have a Rogers SIM and account

I have a Bell SIM and account

I just got a new SIM from Rogers (at 16:00 today)

A friend has a Bold on Rogers

i9000M + Old Rogers SIM = fail

i9000M + various ROMS + Old Rogers SIM = fail

i9000M + Bell SIM = SUCCESS (1 trial, no ROM changes)

Bold + old Rogers SIM = fail

Bold + new Rogers SIM = success (1 trial)

Bold + Bell SIM = N/A (i didn't have the apn settings, and don't have a Bell BIS account)

and finally

i9000M + new Rogers SIM = fail (both before and after wiping cache and dalvik)

Friend's Bold = always success

when I get the chance (probably tomorrow afternoon, or Friday) I will attempt to verify:

i9000M + new SIM + fresh ROM flash

i9000M + Bell SIM + multiple trials

Bold + new SIM + multiple trials

until then...

I sure am tempted to switch to Bell full time, if that's the only way to use a good android phone in Canada.
[General Questions and Answers] Quantus:
Here's an update:

i9000M + Rogers SIM + wipe (cache, factory, dalvik) = fail to find location

i9000M + Rogers SIM + wipe + flash Doc_V1.1_Bell I9000UGJK3 = finds and tracks location

BUT... fails (network location temporarily unavailable) after first restart (absolutely nothing else changed)

Bold 9000 + Rogers SIM = success

i9000M + Bell SIM = success, every time (app installs, restarts, etc.)

Colour me baffled. It's as if the phone itself doesn't want to work with Rogers (or vice versa).
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Quantus/jehuty140,

Thank you thank you thank you! I was starting to go crazy trying to reflash my device over and over again. It seems fair to say that something is going on with Rogers.

I contacted Rogers recently because "coincidentally" on around the day that my cell phone location services stoped working, Rogers announced "Rogers Catalyst" which is a network API functionality they have opened up to developers...and one of these API features is Rogers location based services. I don't like coincidences so I contacted them. There response to me was

"The introduction of Rogers Catalyst location APIs has no correlation to the use of on-device location services. The Cell Tower triangulation for mapping features on Android devices such as your HTC device is a function provided by Google. We do not block these services from working on our network"

Now that I see there are others with the same problem I will respond to them and let them know that something is going on with their network (especially since both me and Quantus have tried another Rogers SIM card with no success, while a Bell SIM card does work).
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Just noticed that in all cases that we have mentioned, it is the unbranded phones on the Rogers network that fail network location services. Rogers branded phones seem to work fine.
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
What's interesting is that if you download the app "Antennas" from the android market place, you can successfully locate yourself via the cell tower triangulation. So there is nothing wrong with our phones's hardware...it has something to do with how Rogers and google location services interect...
[General Questions and Answers] jehuty140:
Yeah I noticed that too. Although I have yet to try a branded Rogers phone myself, it does seem a little bit odd that only the unlocked unbranded ones aren't working properly. I hope Rogers is not messing with that service because otherwise they're about to lose a customer. After all, that's the reason why my phone is unlocked. I don't wanna be tie to a carrier.
[General Questions and Answers] Quantus:
Yes, it does seem a little short sighted, IF Rogers has intentionally messed with network location for unbranded phones. After all, they make their money on the service, and not on the phone. But, it is SO short sighted that I have a hard time believing that Rogers has done it intentionally.

FWIW, I started another thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=850784 (as I have an SGS i9000m). Over there AllGamer (one of the first buyers/unlockers of the SGS) is using his i9000m on Fido without problems.

I wish I had access to a Fido SIM card!

For the record, did we all begin experiencing the problem at about the same time? Something like Nov. 14th?
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Yep...Nov 14th is about the timeframe when my problems started to occur.

FYI...I have also been in contact with HTC technical support and their response was that it was likely a Rogers problem. Suggesting; "It may be that your phone isn’t properly provisioned on the network, and it is sticking to one tower. They will need to reprovision you, the same as if you were with a different carrier." Will be contacting Rogers support later today to give it a try.
[General Questions and Answers] ratheen:
I have the same problem, I jsut re-flashed my Sony Ericsson x10 to the factory rom and everything was fine, the only change i made was i rooted the phone.

do you think google started checking the phone status before validating the location?
[General Questions and Answers] Rumball:
Interesting question. Are you on Rogers network as well?

Are we all using rooted phones with custom ROMs? I am.
[General Questions and Answers] kumprise:
My phone is rooted, I use LeeDrOiD 2.2f, and I'm on Russian Beeline. Problem started earlier than Nov.14th. And, if I'm sticking to one tower, that one is 2000km away. Not likely.
