I AM HIGHLY FRUSTRATED AND I NEED A "REBOOTING FOR DUMMIES" EXPLANATION OF WHAT I AM DOING WRONG. I HAVE SEARCHED THREADS AND STICKIES AND STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. I INSTALLED CMYLXGOs.Droid.BlueTopia.v1.0.3.7z ON MY TMOUS HD2. IT TOOK AND RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS. EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECT. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FORCED CLOSE. NOT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM I HAD AND KEEP ON HAVING IS WHEN IT IS TIME TO REBOOT IT, IT WILL NOT REBOOT. AGAIN, RUNS FINE FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEN WILL NOT REBOOT IF I TURN PHONE BACK ON. IT GETS STUCK ON HTC SCREEN FOR HOURS. UGGGH! I WILL EVEN GIVE SOMEONE MY NUMBER TO CALL ME AND WALK ME THROUGH STEP BY STEP TO MAKE SURE I AM DOING EVERYTHING I AM SUPPOSED TO TO MAKE SURE THE PHONE REBOOTS IF IT EVER HAS TO BE TURNED OFF I.E. BATTERY GOES DEAD, FORCE CLOSE, ETC. CAN SOMEONE HELP ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!:mad:

1st bit of help.........

1st off never, ever, ever, ask for help in all caps. It's ugly, rude, and hurts my eyes. Help us help you, ok ? Your data.img is most likely corrupted. Go to SD:/"Android Build Name'/data.img <-------Delete that file and try again.

CAPLOCKS FOR CRUISE CONTROL!

Change the kernel, delete the data.img I cant run anything with the s4-6 or any kernel from m-deejay. I think its my class 2 stock sd card I have.I can't part with a 8 gig or smaller too much music.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
you are lucky people have helped. as previously stated, never post in all caps.

also, why did you post this in development? did you not read the rules of this forum? very very noobish of you to do this.

there is a Q&A section for android/HD2 ... i suggest you use it, and dont come back to development.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
Do you have your android files on the root of the card or in the Android folder as they are supposed to be?

Examine the startup text file. If it has this line

set cmdline ""

change it to this line

set cmdline "nand_boot=0"

Give that a try before you loose everything by formatting or deleting your data.img.

Then go to your dad and tell him what a wrong thing you did by posting in caps, using horrible English, and posting in the wrong section and have him beat your ars so you will understand better next time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwhardawayjr:
aight. my bad about the all caps. eternally grateful for those of you who answered anyway. I just wasnt sure who ans the q&a and who answers gen discuss and so on. I wanted to hear what I was doing wrong straight from the horses mouth: the developers. my bad again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwhardawayjr:
thanks. my start up was already correct.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ironsave:
I have had this happen where you reboot and the phone hangs on the HTC screen. I try to limit the number of battery pulls I have to do as IMHO it can not be good for the data on the SD card that is mounted when you pull the battery. (Kill power to your computer enough times while it is running and weird things begin to happen)....

Please note that after a battery pull and a restart it always worked the second time.... See my sig as to what I am currently running.... The best efforts so far IMHO. Everything works; I have not needed a battery pull yet.....

I would suggest reformatting 2 times after deleting (preferably shredding) data on your SD card. Then reinstall fresh......

Then enjoy.....

Also, post future issues in Q&A. Believe it or not you will do better there than the Dev section.

Good Luck.

Try to connect you phone to your computer as a disk drive. Right click drive. Go to properties then tools then do a disk check and check for bad sectors also. Takes a while but has solved this issue for me in the past.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Microlec:
I'm actually having the same problem. I've tried 2 different andriod builds, with the same problem. Runs great the first time, but subsequently won't get past the HTC screen after rebooting. Checked the Startup file, it's ok. Running Radio 2.10.50.08_2 , Duttys Leo HG V0.4 WWE Rom. Currently formatting the SD card to try again from scratch, and after that will try Radio 2.15.XXX

Is there anything else I should look for?

Thanks

Andy

UPDATE--- Well following a complete format of the SD card, I loaded the MDeeJay - Froyo_SenseV2.4Clean andriod build and it successfully rebooted. I am about to rety the process with the MDeeJay_Froyo_Revolution_V1.7 again to see if the format made the difference.
[Captivate General] Scottbg1:
Hi guys, did a sesarch on this but I couldn't find anything.

I am a typical flash-aholic. I have had good luck with most of my flashing as I have never had any of the problems I read about that other guys have, so I don't think I am doing something out of sequence or negligent that is causing my problem.

My external sd card fries on me aout once a week. I used to keep ALL my media files on it, i.e., music, pics, ect. But now I keep only files that may get me out of a jam if my phone quits (do to a funky ROM) and I am not near a computer.

This will not happen after a flash, but just out of no where when I am using it for daily use.

I will get a message saying external SD card is damaged, and I have to reformat. This happens everytime, for what ever reason the phone needs to scan the sd cards. For example, after I have disconnected from a usb connection with my PC. It generally will happen after it boots up.

I wonder if it is my phone, or just a lemon of an SD card.

It is an Sandisk 8gb HC.

THanks in advance for any responses.
[Captivate General] PhrProfess:
The Scientific Method

-----

1. Swap out SD card with another.

2. Observe.

3. Q: Does the card work fine?

-A) Yes

-B) No

[Conclusion]

If A), then your first card is fried.

If B), then your phone is screwy.

I can has monets now?
[Captivate General] Scottbg1:
Yes, as genius as your idea is, I thought maybe I could gain some insight here first before going out and buying another card.

If I knew what "monets" was, I would surely send some your way. :confused:
[Captivate General] david717:
I've asked the same question before. No worries. I've tried 3 different microSD's. One was actually bad, but the other two seems perfectly fine in other devices. Yet when I reboot I'm sometimes told the card needs to formatted.

For you though, it could just be the microSD so ya I would try another.
[Captivate General] Scottbg1:
Thanks for the response David.

This has happened about 5 times. Only once was I able to reboot again, and it be ok. The other 4 the card was truly fried and I had to format.

I will try a new card per your experience.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
Hello! I have win7 64 installed an I have been facing connection problems with various versions of Kies (the classic case where the phone says "connected" and kies still says (forever) "connecting".

Assuming that you usb drivers are ok then the probable solution could be the following:

DO NOT open Kies.

Connect SGS with USB to your PC and select kies connection.

Wait a few seconds (in order for the pc to recognise the SGS)

Then open Kies.

My discovery was made as follows:

I had opened the device manager in order to check whether my drivers were updated. When the phone was not connect there was no MTP connection / no SGS (normally it is under "Portable Devices Category". If. however, you connect the SGS as above, then this category (and SGS) will appear in the device manager. (You can see it appearing).

Now, if you open Kies first and then connect your SGS you will see that SGS appears in the device manager but had the usual error icon on it. Possibly having kies open interferes somehow with the drivers.

Hope this help, tell me if it worked...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
Right click Kies taskbar icon and unclick "Auto start Kies"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] duongtunglam:
Nothing happen on my PC after plug my SGS, and of course Kies cannot detect my phone. I used Windows 7 x64. Test on 3 PCs (2 PCs used Windows 7 x64, 1 PC used Vista x86), same problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
Don't expect the pc to do something (the device will only appears in "devices" under the control panel).

Make sure that KIes is off when you first connect your SGS and that "kies connection" is selected in the SGS (despite the fact that you have not launched Kies yet).

i.e.:

1. close kies

2. connect sgs to pc usb

3. select "kies" connection in SGS (make sure developer mode etc are off, ask on connection on)

4. Wait a few seconds

5. launch kies

6. ???

7. Connnect
[Galaxy S I9000 General] purpleSpotSky:
I have Kies 2.0 on Win XP SP3 with all drivers and SGS with Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPU

I've tried everything mensioned above. Nothing works, Kies says Connecting... and no connecton is established. The device works ok as a mass storage device, though, but I need to sync contacts. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] liraindon:
You could use google contacts to sync. Or export/import contacts as vcf file in contacts app(menu export/import).

Try also all usb ports, i find that some work better than others, possibly best should be the one you did the first installation on.
[Imagio General] Xenovann:
................
[Imagio General] Maxx134:
I may be wrong but i am assuming when you flashed and got this problem you must have also unkowingly flashed your radio with another.

after flashing stock, make shure the stock install contains not just rom but radio as well.

Try a carrier cab,

or try a cab with your carrier phone codes (example: ##778# for Sprint)

Then you can then "view" or edit the radio settings, if you know what your doing.

You can see what if anything has changed.

These settings are not supposed to be affected thru any flash,

except mayby if you flashed a different carrier files.

You can also try to search for an "update profile & prl" cab for your device.

Last resort is bring into Verizon, with stock flash and prob re-lock your device.

Might even get a nice replacement.
[Imagio General] Xenovann:
....................
[Imagio General] Maxx134:
no it should be for your particular device unless stated works for your device.

a stock flash should have included it. you should do that, then bring in store for service .

There should also be a exe in windows called epst i think to get your profile going you have to reset after presseng.

i forget i havebt done that in a year or so..

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] span_01:
Hi!

My Hero has had problems with the trackball not working for a couple of months but I haven't been bothered by it since I never use it. Lately however, the trackball (or it's sensors on the board) seems to have gotten a life of it's own. It's constantly scrolling upwards making it impossible to navigate in menus and send text messages.

I've read many many threads about people wanting to completely disable the trackball but noone seems to have any idea on how. I've also tried cleaning. If anyone knows about a solution to make the trackball not load when the basic IO functions loads I would be very happy indeed. The problem is not ROM specific since the scrolling occurs in the recovery menu as well.

If it's not possible to "deactivate" it I'm curious if you think it would be possible to write a tiny little background app that listens for the trackballs MotionEvent, catches it, does nothing and then returns true as if the handler in the background app took care of all the work and thus overrides the scrolling that would happend in the browser, menu or whichever context you are in?

The method I've been looking at is: public boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent event)

What do you think?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasmux:
Maybe its just too much kernel compiling talking, but I would just kill it the kernel level - sounds easiest to me ;)

Let me know if you want me to look into this, and nag me if I forgot....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] span_01:
Killing this at kernel level would be fantastic if its possible. You would be more than welcome to have a look at this.

I have no knowledge of where to start looking since I know very little about any kernel. I am very interested in learning more though so if you do not have time at the moment I would be very glad if you could provide some pointer on where to start looking.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjarte:
This would be amazing if possible, my guess would be the kernel too.

Hi all!

I've decided that instead of getting a phone contract,

I will just buy an android phone, and buy Verizon's 3GB a month for 35 dollars for their Mifi, and carry it around with my phone.

I will then use Google Voice to text, and make calls.

So I have a few questions.. Will this plan work?

Will the phone have to be unlocked?

Can I make calls with this?

If I only use GV, (I'm guessing around 1,500 texts a month, max 100 minutes of calling), and some apps which require internet on the android market.. like youtube, or other stuff, will it fit in 3GB?

Will their be any way for me to check how much data is remaining from the phone?

And are there any flaws in this plan?

Thanks for answering in advance :D!

Hello all,

Its been a long time no speak on this forum for a while, I have finally made the jump from WM (HTC LEO/SE X1) to Android on a Dell Streak. Admittedly I am still waiting on a stable o2 sanctioned version of Froyo to put SENSE UI on!

My question here relates to Firesheep, an add on for Firefox that allows packet capture on public WiFi networks. I was wondering if anyone could port this application to android as a stand alone App, or if anything else similar had been developed?

I hope someone can give me an answer at least to the feasibility of this request.

I too would love to know hehe
[Android Software Development] timekeeper:
It would require drivers for the wireless chipset in the phone to be put in promiscious/monitor mode to capture packets, as far as I know, neither is possible, unfortunately.

Couldn't it run in firefox mobile
[Android Software Development] daep:
monitor mode in galaxy S

There is an app available in market called pixie who get the promiscuous mode for the wifi interface. I'm able to capture packets in Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) with the app installed.

Now we're waiting for firesheep realease for android... it's impossible to install the XPI in Firefox mobile beta... :(
[Android Software Development] vit_mar:
Yeah, I tried porting the XPI over to firefox mobile, but it wont work without a packet capture utility, like WinPcap, which is used with the normal Firefox Win version.

I would be definately interested in seeing where this goes though...
[Android Software Development] janfsd:
It is also working in OSX so I guess libpcap should be enough to use it. By reading this http://seclists.org/tcpdump/2010/q1/98 it seems that there is support for Android. However you will need root access to use it.
[Android Software Development] vit_mar:
This thread, discussing Shark for Root app, refers to a lot of functions that firesheep uses: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725692

Perhaps using libpcap/tcpdump (as janfsd suggested), we can port this over. Root is a must though, true...
