I have an issue with my phone dropping my 3g while running my wifi tether even in areas where I should have perfect connection. If anyone has had a problem with this and found the answer (which I have searched and cannot) please I would love your feedback or if some just generally knows the answer to this problem plrase feel free to fill me in. Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't have the answer to this, I'm afraid, but there are threads about this in Eris General. Several people have noticed that this happens, including me. It's happened to me with both wired and wireless tethering. It was horrible. And then I did some research and found a way to wired tether that was different. It uses your phone as a proxy server.

If you don't mind wired tethering and want to try this, see my thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852618.

It's not my idea, I just found it. Inititally, it worked great, to be honest. Much more reliable and I still have never had the 3G drop with this method. However, for whatever reason (perhaps something specific with my setup on my computer and/or phone), it wasn't working so well several days back so I went back to wireless tethering, and although I still have problems for the most part things are okay. When it becomes unbearable again I'll once again go back to this "Proxoid" method.

So, I don't know about the rest of you, but I love the Captivates Battery door. I got my fascinate around the same time my friend on AT&T switched from an Iphone to a Captivate, and I have to say that although I love my phone more, I love the material and feel of the Captivates battery door. I want to find a replacement battery door made out of similar materials!! Anyone find anything?

[Desire General] schorschex:
Hello,

Sorry for my bad English.

Yesterday I got a bricked HTC Desire from a friend. He did a software update to Android 2.2 Froyo, and then the Desire didn't turn on (no sound, no display). I created a goldcard using my Windows Mobile Device and I followed the instructions from "Desire SLCD Brick Fix" but there wasn't a reaction of the phone (no vibration after Step 4).

If I charge the device a orange (or green when fully charged) LED appears, so I don't think it's a Hardware failure.

I'm sure you can help me

Regards
[Desire General] st0kes:
Can you get to fastboot (hold back + power)

Can you get to hboot (vol down + power)

If the answer is yes to either then you are not bricked.

[Desire General] 0semaj0:
I think that is fairly bricked then.

There were some issues where there was a particular method of "unbranding" and "rooting" which caused SLCD Desire screens to go completely black however, the phone itself was still "functional" which happened to myself and thought I bricked mine but wasnt. I believe there are methods out there that will allow you to "unbrick" the phone but would be considered fairly complicated.
[Desire General] schorschex:
Nope, I'm in Germany but the Desire has a T-Mobile UK Branding.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
OK...I'm beginning to think that rooting is not for me!!!! Getting a bit frustrated!!!

OK, so I installed SDK on my pc (Win XP Ver 2002 SP3), and I cannot get it recognize the device.

I tried the guide for dummies here on XDA, and I follow all the indications, server starts up, I can kill it too....but every time I try to run it I get:

"error: device cannot be found"

The line that I am writing is as follows:

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

and I get the error above.

When I try to see if devices are connected, and Use this:

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices

I get:

"List of Devices attached", but there is no list!!!!!

But I can see the SDCARD from my computer....I can access the files...

Maybe I can try to pull instead of push, but I'm not sure how that would be written (line wise), not if will work.

BTW...I have never done anything like this on android....very new to this!!!!

umm.. HELP!!!

OK changed pc's,....on this one it does recognize the device, but does not allow me to push anything.....when i try:

adb push su /sdcard/su

I get adb: permissions denied

------

I tried su +, and that got me to the # prompt. So I tried typing

# adb push su /sdcard/su

and I get adb: not found???

Running out of options here!

...

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
I think you are mounting the sdcard. You don't want to do that. Just connect your phone to the computer and run ADB. Don't click "USB Connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer" on your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Funkeeeeeee thank you for the reply.

OK...I am not getting an option when I connect to the pc..on the one I get it, I shose do nothing. I have also disabled mass storage on the device once loaded, adn I get the same error. Here is some of the code that I get thorught the PC's terminal:

Notice that once I get the initial permission denied, the terminal seems to get locked up on that no matter what I type....see above...

Anything else to try??? AM I missing something here?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
That's fine. There are a few things I can suggest for you to try..

First, I want you to enable USB debugging on your phone by going to Settings > Applications > Development and check that first option.

Then connect the phonoe, but don't use 'adb shell' before pushing files. It should look like this:

If you are trying to run it from within adb shell, it will spit back 'adb: not found.' That should do fix it for you.

If it does not, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables. Then click on Path and Edit, then ";C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\" at the very end and try again.

By the way, you don't have to run adb from the installation directory. After adding the path I just mentioned, you should be able to run it from anywhere.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Thanks.....I finally can run it without having to type the entire path!!!! That was great help!!!

AS for the permission denied.....still having that issue! The one thing I didn't understand was when you changed the path to >g2.....what do you mean???? path to be g2?

Thanks again for the help!

Just a note...I am trying to do this post OTA, which I downloaded, never got the push...Would having the OTA have any effect on this? DO I need to consider reverting to stock and trying from there? If so how? run recovery?

Dude thanks for the help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acid_Wir3:
did you try typing SU? IMO you cant tamper with ADB Shell if you dont have su access so try typing down SU to ask for permission.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuncaProfundus:
Alright first things first. ADB requires special drivers to work. Which is probably why it didn't work on the original PC. If you download the PDANet client on the PC that you need to do adb it will install the necessary drivers and you can uninstall the program without losing the drivers.

Another ADB requirement is to enable USB Debugging. MENU>Settings>Applications>Development and check the USB Debugging Box.

I don't know about anyone else but with my phone will automount the card. It is recommended to pull down the notification bar and make sure that your SD card isn't mounted.

You need to navigate your command prompt to whatever folder you keep ADB.exe for me

C:\Users\etnie>cd C:\Users\etnie\Downloads\G2\Android\tools

for me this returns

C:\Users\etnie\Downloads\G2\Android\tools>

to confirm this

C:\Users\etnie\Downloads\G2\Android\tools>adb devices

I won't post all the code but it should start the daemon successfully and list your device.

to be able to push files to your phone they also need to be in the same folder as the ADB.exe ie the tools folder. of course you can push it from any folder if you type the full path

C:\Users\etnie\Downloads\G2\Android\tools>adb push C:\Users\etnie\Downloads\G2\bootanimation.zip /data/local

the above code would push the bootanimation.zip from my G2 folder located in my Downloads folder to /data/local on the phone. changing the boot screen animation when you turn on the phone. I actually have the BIOS one. Because I am huge nerd lol. Moving on...

I think I covered everything necessary....If you are still having problems either PM me or reply here.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Thanks guys for the replays...here are some comments...

I have tried SU, and it does grant access, BUT!!!! so here is what happens...

I get to .....\tools> adb shell ... then i get.... the $ prompt. At this point I type $su .... then my prompt changes from $ to #. I understand that it should be $ # In any case once I get to # it says adb: not found code looks like this:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\carlos>cd\

C:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb: not found
#

BTW, the path has been predfined to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\

Not sure how to navigate from #prompt

Runca thanks for the detailed reply....going in order here:

1 - I did and I still have pdanet isntalled

2 - it's been like that since the first day I got the phone.

3 - How do I ensure??? you are talking about from the phone....I should turn off USB Storage? Will try this one.

UPDATE: tried unmounting and re running without success....

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\carlos>cd\

C:\>adb shell
$ adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb: permission denied
$

4 - It's pretty much what I have. Other that I'm not running su before doing so......

Any thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The "g2> " bit is just his command prompt. He's changed directory to one called "g2" on his phone but that's nothing to do with how adb works etc (just that if he pushes or pulls files then that'll be the current directory on the PC for that).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Those "adb push" commands should be done from your PC's command prompt, not from within an Android shell prompt on your phone.

"adb shell" starts a command shell on the phone. Which is fine for doing some stuff. But "adb" commands won't work because now you're issuing them to your phone, not your PC.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Thanks Steve.....that makes a lot of sense, and in part why i am a bit lost here....but knowing that....how can I get to "push" things to my phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
Don't run the adb shell command. That takes you into the phone's prompt. Any commands you run from adb shell with $ or # are run within the phone. You want to run adb push from command prompt. Look at my previous post. It should look like:

C:/>adb push ...

not

#adb push...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Funkeee,x thank you I will try that as soon as I can.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Finally progress

Guys thank you for your help!!!!!

I was finally able to push all the files to the phone. Now my problem has changed..., still dealing with Permission denied....when executing rage I get a buch of errors, please see image:

$ $su
# /data/local/tmp/rage

I get this.....

I then figured that since I was temp rooted through Visionary r10, that was the reason for the errors above. I then proceeded to reboot without temp-rooting.

When I come up to the terminal I get:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ $su
su: permission denied
$

SO if I understand this correctly, I need NOT be temp-rooted in order to run rage, but if I'm not temp-rooted, I don't have permissions to get to execute rage....there a chicken and egg story here somewhere! lol

Can I use a hybrid of the visionary temp root and perm root in that post?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
From what I recall you need to uninstall visionary and reboot prior to using the rage method.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Thanks funkeee...I will try in the morning.

But part of the problem is that without visionary I cannot get su access to run any of this. I'll backup VIS r10 before removing, and try again.

I post my results...goodnight and thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkeee:
I looked at the rage instructions and the prompt is misleading. You may forgetting to use chmod to change permssions. I've put my version of the instructions (just the start).

Uninstall visionary, reboot and from command prompt on your pc, navigate to the folder where you have these files and run:

c:/> adb push su /sdcard/su

c:/> adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

c:/> adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage

c:/> adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox

c:/> adb push root /data/local/tmp/root

c:/> adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*

Don't forget the last entry, which changes the permissions.

Then on your phone, open terminal and put in:

$ /data/local/tmp/rage

It will say Forked Childs...

Then Menu > Reset Term. It will close, then launch terminal again, it will force close and then launch it again and you will have rage root.

If you get to there, you're in good shape. You can then follow those instructions to to push hboot and wpthis. Be careful with the dd command and be sure you have it exactly right. There are no do-overs with 'dd'.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Thanks man I will try it shortly.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Up to here I am fine.

But is with this part that I have issues with......

I uninstalled VISONary as suggested, and I got the same result as before.....error, error, error.....permission denied! Basically without visionary and su I cannot get access to the run rage. I gave me this error:

$ /data/local/tmp/rage
/data/local/tmp/rage: /data/local/tmp/busybox: permission denied
mount: Operation not permitted
mkdir failed for /system/xbin, Read-only file system
/data/local/tmp/rage: /data/local/tmp/busybox: permission denied
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: no such file or directory
/data/local/tmp/rage: /data/local/tmp/busybox: not found
cp: Permission denied
cp: Permission denied
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: no such file or directory
Mount: Operation not permitted
$

SO as i interpret this as I dont have the rights or permission to run the rage script. What puzzles me is the fact the it cannot "mount" the sdcard...after running this, I cannot take a picture (screenshot) bcs it does not recognize the sdcard. I have to Reboot.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I think there's something majorly wrong here. Funny, I saw someone else with a similar problem recently. It looks like when you're running "rage" it's actually running the "root" script that you use at a later stage, and not "rage" at all. Double check what you've got, I think "rage" is a binary and not a script. Are you sure you didn't push "root" to "rage" ?

Hi all,

I was wondering what if anyone had any comments on this app? I am using the basic one but was interested in the Pro version as it has an autoconnect feature and plays AAC+ streams, two of the features I want, but have noticed that there are a few bad comments about it especially the autoconnect, and wondered if anyone over here had any comments on it before I go ahead and purchase it?

Failing that, can anyone recommend an app that accepts custom URLS and AAC+ streams and can autoconnect if it drops the stream?
