Can you get adb to work ?

Plug the phone in and try to use adb, if you can there might be hope.
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
he cant get adb as it doesnt get past the samsung logo. those firmwares you get on odin are actually LEAKED from sprint.. you're not going to be able to get them no matter who you talk to.
[Galaxy Tab General] josephrr21:
Will adb wrk in download mode? Cause I can get it there
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
nope

[Galaxy Tab General] miketaylor00:
What does this have to do with development? Oh yeah, he is using the I am too ignorant to read about my tablet so I screwed it up and now I'm more important than anyone else card.
[Galaxy Tab General] amoamare:
infamousjax,

Just because it is looping does not mean ADB is not working, I recovered my tab as it was looping as well, even without recovery.

He needs to plug it in, while its looping and see if adb is opened if it is then you should be able to dd the recovery.
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
I understand that, but if he can't hardboot into recovery, then I highly doubt adb will work
[Galaxy Tab General] josephrr21:
We'll thank you all for your help I greatly needed it adb does work I had a friend of mine fix it I'm not sure how he did it but he was able to bring my tab back to life
[Galaxy Tab General] amoamare:
Yes,

ADB will work, glad you got it back, it was easy fix to restore recovery.

Just needed to us dd to backup from working tab, then dd to restore to your tab, this would have restored recovery, system, data etc.

Anyway glad you have it back up and working :)

has anyone heard of the 3d homescreen "Tat Home"??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] earl26:
Ya, I was really excited for this before I switched to Web OS. I'm not exactly sure, but I think instead of releasing it as an application they are licensing it to vendors to use on their own handsets. It's actually a very smart move considering its way more in-depth that Sense UI and MotoBlur/NinjaBlur whatever you'd like to call it.
[Epic 4G General] viper134:
I just found an account under calendars that shouldn't be there and I have no clue how to delete it, the account doesn't show up under manage accounts in the settings menu. I'm running SyndicateROM (latest) Loaded.

Any help would be great

First discovered the problem while using the calendar widget with launcherpro.
[Epic 4G General] chip!:
I have 2 extra calendars on mine.

They both came from my Exchange account, I miss spelled it when I first setup my exchange account, so I removed the account, then re-added it. Later, I decided I wanted to rename it something else, so again I removed it, then re-added my account. Now in my calendars, I have the current one, plus the 2 old ones. I haven't found any way to remove them either.

These extra calendars survive re-loading my ROM. I first did the add/delete when I had a pure stock phone. Since then, I have completely wiped my phone several times, reloaded several ROMs/kernels, etc. And I even reset back to factory using ODIN. Yet the calendars come back as soon as I add my Exchange account back. SO, some how these calendars, in my case, are added into my Exchange account, but they are not visible on my Outlook when I am in the office, nor are they visible on my web Outlook Exchange.

Any one seen this before or have some more insight?

Thanks,

chip
[Epic 4G General] viper134:
Same, i've wiped a dozen times and loaded half a dozen different roms/kernels, don't understand how to get rid of it.

[SOLVED] - Invisible Account Problem - Calendar - Exchange & Android

I'm happy to report I finally figured this one out. And good news, its a simple fix:

First, backup your calendar (we will be deleting entries next).

1. In Outlook, go to Calendar, then Right Click on your Calendar, Select "Copy Calendar".

2. Select either the parent folder (Mailbox) or any other local PST to save a backup copy of your Calendar.

3. Click OK.

Next, Delete the entries that have the "Category" labels:

1. Right Click on your exchange Calendar (default), Select "Advanced Find".

2. Goto "More Choices", and then in Categories, type in the name of your calendar that keeps showing up in Android. For me, I typed in "Work". This is ALSO the name you entered into Android when setting up your Exchange account on your phone.

3. Press "Find Now" button.

4. Delete all those entries.

5. Repeat step 2-4 for each additional names that you have showing in Android. For me, I had 3 extra calendars, so I had to do this 3 times.

6. Next, go back to Mail, right click on "Deleted Items" and "Empty Deleted Items Folder"

7. Force Outlook to do a Send/Receive so that it syncs with Exchange.

8. Now, go to your Android phone and remove your Exchange account.

9. Add your Exchange account back BUT when it asks if you would like to give the account a "name" (optional), LEAVE IT BLANK! :).

10. All done, no extra calendars on your phone.

Hope that helps someone else too.. this was driving me crazy!

Why would you pay $1000 for a solution for a Windows Mobile 5 phone when you can get a Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5/WP7 phone for HALF the price.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mysymbol:
Response to your concerns

This is not a Mobile Phone and I do not have one but several thousands of these in my posetion. Again this device is very rare and you will not find it anywhere. Solution to my problem can be used over and over again.

Simply its just like a phone running Windows Mobile 5 and I just need to change few lines of memory addresses in ROM. Please help.

For those that think its a scam, fine, I will offer $10 for solution, but for someone that can believe I will paypal $1000 instantly upon working solution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mysymbol:
I would agree with JTAG but I have several thousands of these in my hand and I need faster solution. Please help. I can run any files, commands for you on my device and provide results. Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OndraSter:
You might want to try also itsutils's app "pdocwrite", that might do the job too. Or psetmem, if it is in RAM and not ROM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aaron McCarthy:
wouldnt Jtag be just as quick as connecting a phone to a computer... booting into the rom, changing code etc etc etc? over and over and over again?

That said... Your best bet is to send one of these "devices" to a developer on here who can take the rom and make the changes that need to be done and make a custom rom for you.

Thats my two cents!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tobbbie:
You are a little silent on the details of what you want to change in the device. There is hardly a universal solution for the task you have sketched. Let me outline the levels of security that have to be passed:

Running programs e.g. for manipulating memory (RAM or ROM) may in the first place be restricted by OS security (policy). This must be overcome and is also know as "Application Unlocking" of the device.

Some files on a device can simply be replaced by RAM copies and those will take the function of the ROM part after copied to the device and a subsequent reboot.

If really the ROM itself must be changed (as 2. does not work) then you have to be able to read out the ROM, dis- and re- assemble its parts (aka "cooking") and finally load back the results to the device. Several security mechanisms are in place for devices to ensure that only the legitimate authorities can do this.

Thanks to joint efforts et XDA-developers many popular devices could be hacked at that level to foster the popular cooking activities.

So if you give some more hints on what character you want to have changed and where you see it (but want to see a different one) then even other options may come up, e.g. changing data in the databases that are use for translating user interface parts (control panel), other data-driven options (e.g. registry) and so on.

So in the end there may be a much simpler solution to your problem that you thought about so far?

1. What is android and what benefits do i get from it?

2. What is 1% battery increments i don't get what it is or what it does?

Hi,

You can change in settings to display never turns off, but you battery will loose to much energy, or purchase Sreen Off program, you can find it on google or on Microsoft Marktplace.

About question 2: with this increment you can see battery change 1%, like 91%....90%

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] barqers:
Hi Guys, I was curious if it's possible to use ROM Manager by Clockwordmod on the Samsung i5801? The thing is when I try to setup ROM Manager it does not give me the option for Samsung i5801, only samsung galaxy s and i9000.

Can I choose the i9000 option? Or is this unstable? I was doing this so that I could test other custom ROMs, but I've been unable to really find any custom ROMs for the i5801?

It's cause my battery life right now with my rooted Samsung i5801 is really bad, I go from 100% to 60% in about 6 hours. Barely use the wifi, turn it on plane mode when it's not in use. It's horrible!

Any help is appreciated, or links to any guides would be awesome, I'm continually searching as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kulparsan:
i9000 option is unstable and will soft brick your phone,

try installing a custom kernel like fugumod by marcellusbe and u can use rom manager. easy and safe way to do so

You cant use rom manager yet but cwm has been ported
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
On my Eris I was able to use ##PST on my Eris to change my slot cycle index, but for my new D2 it is not working. How would I go about accessing this on the D2? Thank you.

Edit: Did a through Google search, which brought up ##7764726 but then not sure where to go afterwards to adjust the slot cycle for calls.
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
you can use qpst to make that change. it's the only way i've heard of on moto phones.
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
so i just put ##QPST in the dialer then?
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
no, it's a program for the computer.

this is how to set it up

http://thewindows7site.com/forum/threads/19170-Diagnostic-Mode-for-Droid-X
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
And it works for the D2 right?

The article doesn't explain what to do when using the QPST app.
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
this procedure works practically the same on the droid1, droid2 and droidx. there's only a slight variation with the droidx cause ther is no keyboard.

But the procedure for droid1 and droid2 is the same. see here http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1593533-service-programming-on-the-moto-droid

Using qpst is the easy part. open it. connect to the port you made. then choose Service Programming in qpst, then click on "read from phone", change the slot cycle index, then click on "write to phone"

WARNING: this is very powerful software that can write to the NVRAM of your phone. which means you can bork your **** with one wrong click. i highly recommend you do some googling and reading before you do it. qpst has been around for many years and very popular for reprogramming lots of different phones so there's plenty of info out there on it.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
So what is slot cycle index? Why would one need to change it. Just interested to learn more. I've got the qpst program for messing with an old phone and might try this if it's worth it on my D2.
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
it's a common cure for phones that have a bad "ring delay". Or, it's a way to save some battery life.

On the CDMA Paging Channel (this is the shared channel that all phones

listen to for incoming calls and other control info), time is divided into

"slots". To conserve power, phones that are currently idle only "wake up"

and listen for messages on the Paging Channel during their assigned

slots. The slot cycle index determines how often the phone's slot comes

around. If the slot cycle index is 0, the phone wakes up every 1.28

seconds. If it's one, it wakes up every 2.56 seconds. If it's two, it's

every 5.12 seconds, and so on. The larger the setting, the more power is

conserved, but the longer it takes to page the phone for an incoming

call. You can imagine that if it were set to 10.24 seconds, few callers

would hang on the line long enough for you to answer your phone.

There are two settings that govern this. One is the "preferred slot cycle

index" in the phone, and can be set via service programming. The other is

the "maximum slot cycle index" set in the base station and broadcast in

overhead messages on the Paging Channel. The phone has to use whichever

number is smaller.

Still can't get HW Virtual serial to connect. It worked once last night, but now it isn't. Any ideas? Real shame I can't just change it like I could on my Eris or Samsung i760, with a dialer code.

Edit: I must have skimmed it, but on the Droid 2 what is the T key?
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
the letter T on your keyboard
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
I know that but how do I use to it to enter diag mode, because the HW virtual serial isn't working for me.
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
it's right there in the first post of the hofo link i gave you.
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
I tired what was stated in that link, but I still can't get HW to connect. Still getting an error.

Edit: tired the T key but I don't think it worked? Still getting connection error.
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
So, I was able to get HW to connect to the phone again but QPST says no phone for the specific port and settings I chose. Could this be some how driver related, or is it something else?
[Droid 2 General] gunz.jones:
call ring delay is found in the build.prop. if you're rooted, jrummy's apps can help.
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
Im pretty sure it is not really a software thing, but a deeper phone things. But, as far as I know if it was software thing then a simple reg edit on my old Samsung i760 would have done the trick instead of putting in a dialer code, to mess around with some slot index settings and then having the phone turn off and restart(was like 4min process total). I could be totally wrong here(kind of hope I am), but if I am not it be nice to get this method working. Thank you.
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
that only changes the ring delay when dialing out. it has nothing to do with the slot cycle index.
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
Can you maybe assist me on why the D2 isn't showing up in QPST despite HW is connected to the phone, please?
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
sorry dude, i dont know what the problem is. i dont have a d2. if you look in that hofo thread, there are lots of suggestions and tips to getting that to work. do you have it shut off, then hold the T, then plug in usb cable. then wait and continue to hold the T till it's done. dont press power button.

do you have an unrecognized devices in your device manager when you're doing this?
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
I read a portion of that long thread, and most was for the D1 and not really related to what I have. I don't see any issues listed in device manager regarding the D2. Maybe you can post me the full 32bit Droid 2 drivers, because the ones on Moto's site didn't seem to be the right one, and I have used the wrong drives I got doing a google search. Thank you.
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
procedure for droid 1 is the same as droid 2. thats why i gave you that link.

these are the proper drivers for droid 2. they have 32 and 64 bit built in. http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/Experiences/Global_Drivers/USB_Drivers_bit_4.7.1.zip

do you have the phone in PC Mode when doing this?

what version of hvsp you using?
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
I am using version 3.1.2 and yes I am in PC Mode. Should USB debugging be off?
[Droid 2 General] razorloves:
Yea, believe so. I know on the droid x it has to
[Droid 2 General] tbaker077:
I guess my next move would be to try it without debugging on. Do I have the right version of SW for this?

Edit. Oh, yeah everything is working(at least so it seems). The issue was I was using the wrong freaking drivers from Moto. The ones you linked were the right one and next thing I know the software is recognizing my phone and I was on my way to changing the slot cycle index. Thank you.

Okay I did more test calls to my phone and it seems like it has moved down to 2.5 before my phones starts ringing when slot cycle is set to 1. Pretty good. My Eris would start ring right after the 2 beep was done. I would go to 0, but I find that 1 gives me the best balance of battery life and ring delay.

For the life of me I can't get this to work! I don't like to start any new

threads and I read all the ones addressing this topic but I'm still stuck.

1. Downloaded wired tether for root, downloaded sync to get the correct

code site and everything seems ok. When I go to device manager everything

is fine. When I click on the app. I see that its trying to connect but then

gives me the error "network has limited connectivity"

When I go into "My networks" it shows connected with no problems, I know I'm

missing something simple here but I'm stuck, I disabled my wi-fi network,

tried making a new network but nothing works.

Any ideas??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misconcepti0n:
No support for wired tether I have realized. Either try pdanet or easytether if you don't need to access https sites or get a paid version of either. Newest version of wifi tether is working though if usb is not a must for you in your tethering.

Scratch the no support for wired tether. Sorry bout that. The google app is supported and requires drivers that I couldn't find. If you search for the HTC Sync drivers, those work- install them and it works. Restart your comp then reconnect usb. Hope that helps.

I picked up a SGT from Verizon and am having trouble with bluetooth. It won't pair with either a Jabra or Motorola brand headset. I can get it to pair with my Apple Bluetooth keyboard, but it won't connect. It just says "Paired", but does not function. I'm using Skype and GV on this and would love to be able to use a bluetooth headset. Is this unique to the Verizon model? Has anyone else had better luck with a T-Mobile model?

Thanks!

Apparently vzw left the bluetooth HID out (unlike tmo). So the vzw tab can pair with keyboards and mice, but cannot connect to them. There are hid drivers in the market, but I haven't tried any yet. I have a bt keyboard on order. I tried a mouse,it paired fine but wouldn't connect. There have been many reports of this.

BT headsets haven't had any issues that I have heard. My moto s9hd paired and connected the first time and has been ready whenever I have needed it.

TMO Profiles?

I have a Sprint Tab and it pairs but refuses to connect. I'm wondering if there's some way to extract the TMO drivers from the device, and stick them elsewhere. Also, I don't know a lot about the bluetooth driver architecture. What exactly is it missing? The kernel drivers for it? Or some other thing?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] dwelch:
I had the same trouble with my Jawbone and Think Outside stowaway keyboard.

I called Verizon about this and the tech told me they had no profile for headsets or HID. They have stereo headphone support for music.

Very disappointing that they would do extra work to remove functionality, but I'm certain a good rom will become available that fixes this Verizon blunder.
