[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmywa:
My question is pretty simple. I've searched and not found a good method. In the 2.2 CyanogenMod ROMS, the option is there to let google keep track of the apps you have installed. This is dang handy for rom-flippers like myself. However, I cannot find a good way to not have the market start re-downloading all these apps whenever I load a new ROM. I tried to keep the Let Google back up your apps unchecked on initial setup, but it does it anyway. I know I could probably wait to register my google account, but that doesn't help.

Ultimately, I'd like to have a real option that will let me decide whether I want the market to re-install all my apps. I'd also like to be able to clear that data somehow.

Does anyone know how I could do this?

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
If you start the ROM after a data wipe and do not sign in to Google at the initial setup, but then give Google credentials to Gmail or the Market after the launcher starts, it will not automatically reinstall the apps.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmywa:
Thanks. I just wish it was a little more elegant.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmradiojunkie:
I like that my apps get restored automatically but I would like it not to change settings. When I flash a new rom I would like to be able to check out the rom before any settings are changed, such as wallpaper, sounds, ect.

Is there a way to have google restore only the apps and not change any settings?

Its my 1st time flashing a phone and i got mixed up here guys....

I downloaded the jp7 firmware from samfirmwares.com and inside there are 2 files : "MODEM_I9000XXJPP.tar.md5" and "CODE_I9000XFJP7.tar.md5".

the problem is that in Odin i dont have any idea where to place them...because there are PHONE ,CSC and PDA tabs....

so, which one goes where?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montrealguy:
So does the Galaxy S on Froyo support streaming Divx on the web (http) or not?

I've waded through dozens of threads in which everyone asks the same question but no one gives a real answer, or geeks misinterpret the question.

I watch streaming divx movies on movshare.net, stagevu, vidxden, etc... on my computer using the Divx web player. But when I go to stage*vu on my Galaxy S, it shows a tiny 3d box with question marks- which indicates that I might be missing an app or extension.

Here's an example: http://www.vidxden.com/xulipva5r5e1

Another example: http://www.movshare.net/video/jk90g9v8zppku

Check quicksilverscreen forums for many more links.

Let's be clear here: We're not looking to download a divx movie completely and then watch it. We all know this can be done- this is not the topic.

Does anyone have an answer???
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
Why do I still see stuff in /sdcard after wiping and ODIN-ing JFD and re-wiping? How do I really turn my phone back to factory?

I'm having some flakiness with some of the new ROMS, and I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the ROMs. Specifically, I have a problem where my phone will wake up after receiving a text message and never go back to sleep. Also, several times my phone will boot into a situation where it cannot see any towers (almost like airplane mode). Just general flakiness. So, I want to put my phone back in its newborn, fresh out of the box state and start over. However, I still see all of the files and directories in /sdcard that were in there before I wiped (from recovery). Strange.

[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I actually did this earlier today because of a major problem with the music player. I transfered all my backups to my computer then went to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage then scrolled down to Phone Storage and selected Format SD Card. After I formated the card, I installed JFD with Re-Partition checked. After Odin did its thing, I let the phone reboot and copied a rom to my internal card and the Clockwork update.zip. Installed the update zip through stock recovery and the rom through Clockwork.
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
Hmm, that didn't work for me. Sure, my external sd card is clean now, but /sdcard still has all the same files in it. Is it safe to just rm -rf * in the /sdcard directory?

For instance, I just odin-ed (with repartition checked) and I still have external_sd showing (a leftover from Obsidian 4.2). I also see busybox, TitaniumBackup and several other folders. I'd like it all to be gone so I can be sure of my re-installation process.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Don't format the SD card, format the phone storage.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Yeah, you formatted the wrong one. Were you on Axura 2.0.5? I had that issue also for some reason... might have something to do with BlackFroyo on top of it?

Just went to Axura Final and am not noticing it...
[Vibrant General] hernandez5683:
If you want to wipe the whole phone including the internal memory card. Go to the market and download SGStools. Once installed go to secret codes and find Hard Reset. Just make sure to a make back up of both internal and external cards, cuz one never knows.
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
@s15274n, no I was not using Axura.

I did see that I formatted the wrong one the first time. Np, I had backed everything up to my computer. Anyway, I formatted both internal and external storage, re-Odin-ed, and then flashed Obsidian 4.2. I have already seen when I miss a call, my phone display does not go back to sleep, even with the new ROM. I guess I will Odin again and this time just stay on stock, or maybe just stick with the Bionix ROMs. If my phone can't play nicely with these new ROMs when flashing on top of a fresh Odin JFD, then I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Same problem here, but mine is under the screen, near camera button. I think the only way to solve it is send the phone back to the provider and ask them to clean it up.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Not really the only way, I'd try it myself or take it to a shop before sending it back to anywhere.

Thanks but I'll spend the extra dollar and a half to buy from monoprice instead of some random dude on amazon with a horrible rating in the past 30 days.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
The Monoprice cables don't work. The micro connector is way too loose, and won't make a good connection. I bought 4, none of them worked with any of the EVOs we tried. RMA'ed them, got replacements 2 weeks later, none of those worked either. Now I'm stuck with returning them for store credit. Not very happy with Monoprice right now...
[EVO 4G Accessories] impala454:
That sucks... Well I already have them on the way... I'll report my findings as well. Though I had several other cables to buy so not a big deal if I have to have store credit.
[EVO 4G Accessories] RavenTBK:
Wanted to bump this back up. Those of you who got this deal, whats the updated story? I noted some promised updates... where's the beef?

I'm interested in this, as the price is still 3.50 as of this morning...
[EVO 4G Accessories] doorpz:
I got a 3ft one from monoprice and it worked fine the few times that I've used it. Once somebody works out how to mirror everything through it I imagine I will be using it all the time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kooqeem0nsta:
I bought it from them about a week ago, same cable and I have similar issues. The connection is loose. I'd like to know if it's the cable or is it my Evo?
[EVO 4G Accessories] aeo 37:
I bought 1 too a few weeks back. Same problem, connection was loose. You had to hold it in at an angle for the TV to pick it up. I RMA'ed that one and got a replacement. This time it was even worst, whenever I plug it in, my phone would freeze up.

I thought it was me only but I guess others are having this problem too. It seems to work on the Droid X according to the reviews on MP, so I maybe its just us EVO user.

I give up on these, probably will buy a name brand one whenever I can justify the price. Othere then these faulty cable, I love MonoPrice!
[EVO 4G Accessories] JBiz227:
I too love Monoprice, but I have 2 6 ft cables and you have to have the cable in at just the right angle for it to work. This is the first product I've had a problem with from Monoprice.
[EVO 4G Accessories] InfectedMushroom:
I bought one of these as well and it's very touchy. It doesn't connect firmly and if you bump the phone, the signal is gone. Then it doesn't always want to connect again. I know this may be a monoprice issue, does anyone have experience with a Sprint bought cable?

I may try another site, but 5 bucks after shipping and I had it two days later wasn't a bad deal. I'm going to purchase another to leave at my gf's house so I'd like to hear anyone else's experiences.

Hey Guys,

I am sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing with our HDMI Cables. I am here to do what I can, and see what the root of this issue might be. Would it be possible for the users affected to please email a photo of the Micro HDMI connector seated in your EVO as well as what devices are currently plugged in as well ( Display , Switch etc.,) My Email :chris.apland@monoprice.com . Lab testing has shown the EVO to be compatible with these cables, however I would rather evaluate these cables again with your feedback in mind. For those who were having issues, please submit an email to our RMA department : rma.team@monoprice.com and we will issue you a replacement as soon as possible. When requesting a replacement, you can ask to have it tested on an EVO prior to shipment, I am going to pull cables from our current inventory, and look into this issue further and verify areas for revision. Please submit any information you can provide that will assist in my investigation. Thanks again, and I hope you continue to visit Monoprice.com for your cable needs.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kooqeem0nsta:
Chris,

I have read from time to time about the excellent quality of service provided by Monoprice on various forums but never had to deal with it on my own, as I have rarely, if ever, needed to return anything. Your representation here on XDA is definitely a welcomed surprise and shows how truly great Monoprice's customer service is. I am, unfortunately, one of the fella's who has a 'defective' micro HDMI cable and will send you and the RMA department an email trying to detail what I perceive the issue could be. I hope w/ the support of the group here, that we can get to the bottom of the issues as it would be f'n awesome to have it working properly.

Happy Holidays!
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
I will be glad to take pictures of my cables as soon as I get back into town, but because of the holidays it will be another week before I can.

[EVO 4G Accessories] skylar.sutton:
I just wanted to let NPDMonoprice know that I bought one back in November that works perfectly. If there is any sort of "manufacturing run number" or "batch number" on the cable, let me know where to find it and I'll shoot it over to you for reference.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ben dover:

[EVO 4G Accessories] NPDMonoprice:
Thanks for all the information guys! I having been testing countless batches with numerous EVO's in order to find a solution. After my initial assessment, I will submit my findings and see what kind of revisions we can come up with and see if we can provide a better securing mechanism and close the gap between the molding and hdmi port. I appreciate your guys feedback, and feel free to submit your inquiries or new product suggestions to chris.apland@monoprice.com.
[EVO 4G Accessories] drbadass:
I got mine from monoprice and it works just fine.

Just wish I could actually USE it for anything! I at least thought sprint TV would have an hdmi out option, youtube, anything.. but nope! just the freaking picture gallery.

Maybe someday.
[EVO 4G Accessories] exploited789:
Youtube should work with the hdmi out as well as any videos you have in the picture gallery. But yeah it does suck that its nerfed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cry Havoc:
I'm sure a variant has been asked before countless times in the forum, but I have been insanely busy with work lately and thus unable to keep up to date on what the newest mods for the Evo are.

Right now I'm running the original root for the 2.2 update. The info is in my sig (3.36).

What do I need to do to upgrade to the latest release? Should I just wipe my phone, flash the rom and install the newest one, or is there an easier way? It's kind of annoying to have to restore all of my contacts from gmail. :\
[Vibrant General] shm522:
I'm not sure if this is a common issue or just an issue with my sim card.

Looks like the sim card just stopped working this morning. I can't make/receive any calls or texts and the lock screen says "Please insert SIM card and restart".

I've restarted about 3 times now and have tried removing and reinserting the sim card, with no luck.

I figure I'll need to take it into a T-Mobile shop to get a new sim card, but my Vibrant has been rooted and has a the Obsidian Froyo rom installed.

Should I just plug the SIM into my old blackberry and take it in that way for replacement?

Or is this some known issue that can be easily fixed?
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
I have had this happen to me twice. Once, the SIM went bad (it happens).

I called TMO told them that it's not working & they said they'd get me a new SIM. I had the option of going to an authorized TMO store or getting it mailed to me. I went to a store, they installed & it off I went.

The other time, I took some rubbing alcohol and a QTip to it & cleaned it up, let it dry, put it back in & it's been working for a little over a week now :-)

So, I'd try giving it a cleaning first and if that doesn't work, give TMO a call.

If they don't know that you have the Vibrant and think you still have a BB, then yeah, I'd put it back in that rather than bringing in the Vibrant if you have to go to the store. It's just easier when the person helping you isn't trying to force you to change your plan at the same time.

Question: The phone won't let you do anything without a SIM card? If that's true, that's just another reason to be glad I SIM unlocked my phone....that would get annoying!
[Vibrant General] androidjon:
Old Tmobile sim cards actually have a certain amount of times they can connect to the network tower. If you use airplane mode a lot it you may reach this point quickly.

And some sims cards just go bad. Which I think is the case with yours tjhart85. Take the phone and card to Tmobile. Tmobile will change the sim card for free.
[Vibrant General] shm522:
Yup, turned out the sim card just went bad. Called up T-Mobile customer service, they put a not on my acount, and went into my local T-Mobile store and got a new sim card. Phones working great now. They didn't even ask for the old one and didn't have to look at my phone.

Thanks guys!

Hi,

Engadget is reporting that the Samsung GT-i9020T (a.k.a. Nexus S) has reappeared at the FCC with a pair of new antennas (GPS and BT/Wifi).

Do you think that the redesign has been prompted by the GPS issues we're seeing with the Galaxy S?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
Sounds likely.. I believe at times the current design suffers from excessive noise or poor Sig. To noise ratio.

I got the following very weird problem..

when i yesterday went out of a club i noticed that my phone was off even if my battery was abt 60 percent..(running android) well i wanted to turn it on agian - nothing.. battery in / out , on again...

but the little problem was that in Winmob Sense couldnt get activated anymore (homesettings etc.) it starts loading sense but the screen stays blanc... a soft reset didnt solve the problem, even 10 didnt..

when i then booted android again .. the boot took about 15 minutes EVERY time.. instead of the usual 1 minute..

i formatted SD card now.. still all the same...

what should i do?? Please help!!!! :(

is a hardreset the only thing that could help? and if... do i have to b aware of anything? i mean i changed my radio etc.? does is affect the hardreset?

As the above poster mentioned, I think somethings gone a bit corrupt. Try moving your data.img off the sd card and letting it do a completely fresh boot. If that works you know it's some setting or other on your build.

Youtube Black Screen Problem

Hi all,

Quick spec:

Make: HTC Wildfire (Rooted)

Android Version: 2.2.1

Kernal Version: 2.6.32.21-HCDRJacob-ga91e73b-dirtyroot@HDR #1

Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6.1.0-buzz

Build Number: FRG83

I have a problem concerning the playback of Youtube Video on my device. The Application loads fine, shows the previews of videos but when you actually play a video you can hear it perfectly but the screen is pure BLACK apart from the Pause/Play & time bar etc is shown.

If there is any work around for this or if anyone knows a way to fix the problem i would be greatfull.

(or should i go to the Dev site and inform about this glitch?)

Thanks in advance,

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] FrydaeXIII:
Im thinking it's youtube's fault,not ours...Before rooting I already had that problem,after rooting and installing WPR along with an upgraded YT app,it still the same problem.However you can try to turn off HQ before the video loads,some videos can be played in no-hq. :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Igotzbeef:
Thanks for your input. I tried the Non-HQ method and only select videos can be shown. The others just present a black screen but you hear the audio.

I'm using the official Youtube Application downloaded from the market. I'm guessing it might be something to do with the CM ROM maybe . . ??

I'll keep an eye on this thread or if others can point to another thread with answers, I as well as others it would seem, be very great full.
