[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big daddy debo:
hey guys I'm new to the android forums and the community but i was wondering if anyone could please help in anyway possible I was trying to figure out what is the difference between partioning your sd card with rom manager or doing it with a custom recovery or is on or the other better any help would be appreciated so thanks in adavance to anyone who drops a line
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
none. rom manager is like a remote control for the clockworkmod recovery. i would reccomend using amon ra recovery though, which doesnt work with rom manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big daddy debo:
thanks for your input i did it on my on using amon ra following the advice of a you tube video
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deez1234:
I was using the app SGS Tools from the market and tinkering around. I started using some of the system key codes to check out a few things. I ended up selecting the key code for "Touchscreen Firmware" and decided to upgrade the firmware because it sounded good. It gives you 2 options, you can upgrade the touchscreen firmware and the backlit touchscreen buttons. The normal touchscreen upgrade went okay, but when I attempted to upgrade the button firmware it said that it was successful and now only the Home key and the Back key light up and no keys work at all. Is it even possible to fix this??? I used ODIN to go back to stock, then i ODIN'd to the JK2 Froyo. No luck with either. Any help would be very much appreciated! I will search some more about this in the meantime. :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melbournehiphop:
Also I have the same problem. Can someone please help, been over a week now trying new ROM's.

Please help!!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leegalaxy:
SGS tools is dangerous for noobs and semi-noobs alike!

I hate reading through these posts. I flashed Darky's ROM which comes with sgs tools and so, like anyone, when I saw upgrade touchscreen firmware, I did just that and lost all access to my soft keys. I usually can troubleshoot any problems I have but this one beat me. I am now without a phone. I realize that you should never mess around with commands and functions that you don't understand but the developer seems to say that the app doesn't allow you to accidentally mess anything up but her we are.:(

does anyone with a custom rom have trackball notifications with sms or mms... it lights up with calls, and when updates (apps) are available but a lot of people are stating that it wont light up for them, stock and rooted roms...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deckoff:
When I connect my phone via USB to the PC, and copy some files in the SD card, I get to see them after a reboot... I suppose the actual SDcard and a is a simulation , and everything is inside the data.img file... probably... So file appear when there is a reboot and the img files is updated?

Is that so??

Is this usual behaviour, or a build-specific bug?

Is there a way to copy files to the USB card and see them without the need of reboot?

What will happen , if I split the SDcard to to partititons, any way to make the non-bootable one mount automatically...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ASCIIker:
i suppose part of what you're saying is true, at least i've experienced some of the problems you describe some of the time.

sometimes i would unmount/mount the card after completing the usb disk transfer session...sometimes i would have to connect it back to my desktop in usb disk transfer mode and run a file system check.

a combination of the above mentioned ALWAYS got things going for me...never had to reboot to see the new data. but i have sometimes had to reboot to see ANY data. this is because, occasionally, i have seen that the sd card sometimes just doesn't WANT to mount. but i see a BLANK /mnt/sdcard folder and unmount/mount doesn't get it going.

the reason i've mentioned the practice of disk-checking your android usb disk transfer is because you sometimes may notice "sd card could not be mounted due to errors", or "sd card mounted read only" and i have always found disk errors when i ran the disk check following these messages, and this subsequently leads to the card mounting correctly and fully usable after the disk transfer session.

so my process is:

0. start the usb disk transfer mode

1. read what i have to from the card

2. write what i need to into the card

3. disk check!

4. stop usb disk transfer mode

5. let android complete its remount and look out for errors in android's notification area.

6. if errors found, be prepared to return to step 2. see next steps for clarity.

5. connect the cable again and see if the data i wrote is still there using my desktop's file explorer.

6. if 5 is true, done, disconnect the drive and usb cable.

7. if 5 is false, disk check and repeat from 2.

my theory is:

the reason why you see them on the next reboot is because android seems to force stronger and sturdier disk checks on reboot. this often brings back files that should have stayed there in the first place when you copied them to the card. however, i've found such files "recovered" by the android repair utility are often corrupted. i find microsoft's disk check on the desktop much more reliable. it seems to just nuke bad files and/or rename and move them to the "FOLDER.000" style folders in the root of the disk being checked. so this clearly tells you that your last mass-write operation to the card failed and needs to be re-done. step 2 it is! OR reboot and rely on android's reboot initiated disk check and risk carrying corrupted forms of files you just copied and thought were safe to carry! :eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] madmaxxx81:
how can I do the disk-checking?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ASCIIker:
Method 1

on your windows desktop, with the device connected in usb disk transfer mode, open my computer:

1. right click the usb drive and choose "Properties"

2. go to the "Tools" tab

3. press the "Check now" button

4. enable "Automatically fix file system errors"

5. disabled "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"

6. press button called "Start"!

view the summary and its log when the operation completes to see what problems were corrected.

Method 2

on your windows desktop, with the device connected in usb disk transfer mode, press "Windows"+R on your desktop:

1. type "cmd" (without the quotes!) and press enter

2. a "black" window will appear

3. type "chkdsk <DriveLetter>: /f" without the quotes!

4. replace "<DriveLetter>:" with your actual usb drive's letter followed by a colon, (e.g. "f:")

5. press enter

view the summary and its log when the operation completes to see what problems were corrected.

[Nexus One General] Buck Shot:
I havent done much research on the N2 so Im not sure what to expect. But Im just curious, what device would you upgrade to in the near future. If the N2 isnt up to par ( i will wait till it is available to decide ) i would prob just wait till something great came out. The G2 looks great, but not spectacular. As far as Im concerned, the N1 is still a beast among the Androids....maybe Ill keep the N1 and get a Galaxy Tab
[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
I personally just got the nexus a few weeks ago. I paid $450 brand new in box.

Tossled with the idea of selling it, and also had a buyer, but I decided to keep it. For someone like me, its a great starter phone to learn android on without the worry of bricking it (done that with the jasjar in the past) and I think its slim as hell.

I'd wait for something thats as slim, and maybe even that foldable Amoled screen in the Samsung video ;) (just kidding).

When I do upgrade to a thin Samsung I will still keep the Nexy. Even if it means saving up longer for a $480 phone. The nexus is just a collectors piece for a techie like me that I'd like to keep framed someday, in a display case. even if it won't be worth anything in my lifetime.

Cheers.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Another great thing about the N1 is the built in tethering and WiFi hotspot.

ATT unlimited data plan + free wifi hotspot and tethering= no brainer.

The build quality is the sugar on top.

and just for the sake of arguing, let's say the Nexus S comes out available on ATT: I can guarantee it will be without the hotspot and tethering options. That was added to the N1 after the fact via OS upgrade. No way ATT will ever allow that again, imo. Not for free the way it is now.

Being compatible with ATT 3G and having free hotspot and tethering is a once in a lifetime thing. I'm going to get me the wifi only Galaxy tab and use it ANYWHERE I want via N1 wifi hotspot...imagine THAT! :D
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I asked about this before saying that if the Nexus S is sold at T-Mobile/Att stores then they are going to have the IMEI #s and will block the phones from using web-2-go type of dumbphone data plans (the best feature of the N1) and also might have some control over OS features like tethering?

One guy on here said that the Nexus S might be sold through BestBuy / Walmart / RadioShack instead of T-mobile / Att stores and might bypass the carriers again like the original N1 did so that T-Mobile/Att wont have any say on what the phone can or can't do.

Here's hoping the NexusS never EVER is sold at a T-Mobile/Att store :D
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
ever heard of a custom rom ?
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
yeah I'm running one but that is not the same as it coming stock, which is what one has to assume, since not everyone will be willing or able to root.

But since you need it spelled out: free wifi hotspot and free tethering coming STOCK is a once in a lifetime thing.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
With the way ATT is clamping down on data(no more unlimited data for new customers) I would be shocked if another device is ever ATT compatible and also contain free hotspot and tethering, no-matter where it is sold. If I'm wrong, I might get the NS given the dual core processor. That MIGHT be enough for me to overlook the build quality. I certainly agree with you regarding not selling the NS thru ATT/tmobile stores. :D Fudge them.:D:D
[Nexus One General] ROM_Guest:
I'd also like to wait and see the battery life under the new dual processor phones before plunging into them.

I think someone made a worthy mention in another thread: phone technology is advancing, but is battery technology advancing too?

I hope it will tho in the future
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Processors are also getting much more energy efficient, plus having a fast CPU without any CPU intensive apps (most apps would run fine on a single core 100-200MHz CPU) makes it more efficient in itself.

Edit: TBH, the Nexus S is really the only "must have" phone. If it has the Orion chip it'll compete with everything else through early 2012. You might seem some advancements in camera performance, maybe more RAM/ROM, but spec-wise, what else would there be to improve upon? Then there's the fact that all other flagship phones will be running Touchwiz/Sense/etc. and will be at the mercy of the OEMs/Carriers to receive future support/updates.
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] going_home:
The Nexus is a great phone, but I want HSPA+ so I'd have to say pick up a G2 on Craigslist. They are under $400.00 already and dropping.

If you've had your Nexus a while and are just itching for something different thats what I'd get.

I mean if Nexus S is HSPA+ I will be getting one, if not then probably a G2.

;)
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Okay you're right ;) but other than that I'd stay with the Nexus One.

Atleast that's what I'm doing for now. We don't even have HSPA+ or LTE or whatever here yet, haha
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Samsung said they are releasing a dualcore, 4" Super AMOLED 2 (yep, 2) MONSTAH first quarter of 2011.

That's what I'm waiting for. If you're spending 500+ bucks, might as well spend it good.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:

[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
If we get a Samsung built unbranded google phone with an Orion processor it'll be the nexus successor hands down, it'll have the best internals and be completely shrouded in controversy just like the N1. Either way if the Orion is there I'm buying it.

[Nexus One General] descendency:
Better touch screen, better 3G radio performance/location (maybe even dual radios like I think it's Nokia that does it). Better headjack (recessed headjack = dumb idea, it failed miserably on the first iPhone for a reason). Better gaming performance (which would come as part of the Orion Processor).

I love my N1, but it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

Snapdragon 3rd generation HTC Phone
[Nexus One General] :
Nexus T for me.
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Is still not as good as the Orion. The 3rd gen Snapdragon is a dual core A8, Orion is dual core A9. The Adreno 220 will also likely underperform compared to the Mali 400.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bates_1974:
I've found it does work but is dependant on file size and what size of data you're trying to extract, eg, extracting kernels for android is no problem, whereas trying to extract a full android build is a no go, maybe due to the program needing full extracted data size to work with as a temp folder during extraction???

Hi everyone,

Hope this message finds you all well on this Sunday.

I have a moto charm with 2.1 on it right now, and I know the flipout is pretty much the same thing, so I was wondering if:

1)you guys have custom ROMs or 2.2 loaded on your flipout

2)you have any insight into loading 2.2 or a custom ROM onto my charm

Thanks a lot everyone.

Have a good week.

[Flipout and Charm General] mmbika:
Hi Jutley,

Someone mentioned that by using debranding his Flipout works only on UTMS and not on 2G. Is this a possibility?

Secondly will it work on locked Flipout? Mine is locked to Vodafone, Australia. If I debrand it with UK ROM will I have any issues?

And the most important how do you know your phone is rooted (pre-rooted) or not? I get USB connection (it woks as USB drive) so do I conclude it is rooted or not? What are tests to check whether it is rooted?

[G Tablet General] Crimton:
is anyone using wiimote for playing snes and psx games? if so how do you get it to work? i have the emulators and games installed, i have wiimote installed and bluetooth on. the wiimote is connected within the wiimote app but then when i exit the app it no longer does anything. i just can't get the controller to work in the game.

edit: figured it out, just had to map the keys within the emulator/game
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Based on the lack of responses, my guess is gtablet users are not too much of gamers... Also the fact that there are not too many "past a few day" Gtablet owners ;)

I could not get the Wiimote app to see my Wiimote. Bluetooth was on, of course. No fun retro gaming this device was born to provide, it seems. The v-pad for games is too awkward due to display size, device weight and response of the tablet in the corners (where the controls are- is not very responsive).

I was pumped due to the performance, but you are right that controls are not too good..... Need Wiimote to work. I naturally figured it would work, but given some of the other issues, I may be assuming too much.

I probably will return the Gtablet this weekend and wait for a refurb. $400 is too much with screwed up sensor and controller functions not working via blutetooth. $300 is more of a compromise ;)

I get the impression NOTHING was tested on this device. Nothing appears to really work other than USB sticks and even those can not be hotswapped. "USB" must have some other meaning for the OEM of this device.

Even USB keyboards and mice work with the Archos devices. All this power constrained by pi55poor FW.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
on zpad the wiimote works great, i got a usb keyboard working too. i really wish someone smarter than me could figure out how we can select other keyboards. anybody?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
You're not using TnT 2.0 then (or did they used to work?)? I have tried USB devices with no luck. Ditto on bluetooth input control devices.

You think the keyboard is the root cause for failure on Gtablet in TnT based roms?

I can not even get the Gtablet to see the Wiimote, yet alone map it to work.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
usb keyboard worked for me on tnt lite 1.0.2(i'm poretty sure theres a small chance it was zpad). on tnt i can install wiimote, the app will see the wiimote but i can't choose wiimote as my default input because tnt will stay on the tnt stock keyboard. so if there were just a way to choose another keyboard as default it'd be all good. this guy found where the problem may be http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9394102&postcount=3.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Makes sense, but I can not even get the device to see my Wiimote. Looks like the permission issue will impact other control efforts as well.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
i would stay on zpad but i get uids inconsistent message everytime i reboot. it seems real laggy sometimes too. but i love how it is more similar to my incredible than the tnt interface.
[G Tablet General] shdwknt:
I have the same problem with tnt lite

it sees the wiimote

the buttons work

but I can not change the keyboard input so I cant use it either :(

I have problems with my device - the screen completely stops responding.. im going to take it in and exchange it.. possibly get a refund.. Im not impressed with this.. everytime I run youtube.com it forces the browser closed..

not happy about the market place not displaying all the apps either :( tons of apps on the market place I use on my phone that dont work / wont install on this device.
