Did you do the adb connect <gtab ip address> command to set it up?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
I've gotten DDMS to take ONE picture over ADBWireless... I got all sorts of drama with Java errors and such trying to run it. I'm not kidding, just one. been pooped on ever since. Haven't spent the time to work the kinks out yet.

It would be SUPER NICE if anyone could figure out shootme or something similar. Although, I wonder why those are limited to black screens?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I agree it would be nice to have shootme work. But I don't know why you have the issue with DDMS. It works great for me over wifi. I use the app that has the big green button... Maybe your computer is mad at Android or jealous of Android:)

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
Man I WISH I had some sort of decent answer for you... I'm somewhat technical and its aggravating to no end why silly things like that don't want to work all the time. ADB just doesn't want to keep the drivers for me for some reason so I went to WirelessADB. I can push/pull all day long but DDMS worked once, now I'm having java errors thrown left and right. I google'd the world and tried several things then gave up... sort of... I decided to create a Virtual Linux box and spent 5 hours and couldn't get ADB to work on it either. Believe me, I can goggle and use deductive reasoning skills with the best of them as my OCD makes me try and try.

I finally threw my hands up, took my toys, and went home :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I know what you mean. As old as Windows is it seems to be still pretty finicky. I guess there are just too many combinations of software and hardware to have them all work. I actually have a couple of computers I use for different things. Just so I can get something to work reliably and not screw it up by installing other stuff. It is maddening though when it just doesn't want to play nice...:eek:

adb on linux

Well, in case anyone is interested in getting adb to work on Linux, I had to add a file named "70-android.rules" under /etc/udev/rules.d containing:

where you replace "..." for OWNER is the Linux userid. The OWNER part may or may not be necessary. The udev entry is so adb will see the usb device. The "0955" is the nvidia vendor id. Of course you need to be root to add the file. On something like Ubuntu you could use "sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules" to edit the file. Or you can use "su" to get root access and then edit the file.

I installed the Android Eclipse SDK and platform toolkit. I had to find the actual adb executable elsewhere. I put it in the tools directory under the android toolkit. I tried a couple of different versions of adb before I found one that would work when I used the command:

The md5sum of the adb I used (that worked) is cf059f327f6ae8a35cf9b8eb6c80490c.

I was able to use ddms to get screen captures. None of the screen capture tools I tried worked, They all gave be a black image.

I am on Maverick Meerkat (Ubuntu 10.10), but these steps should work on other modern distros as well.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
Can you post a link to that ADB.exe? that;s one thing that I notices wasnt there in the SDK. I dunno why but it wasn't.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] normz007:
The ADB.EXE is in another folder... :( I think google moved it? Its in platform-tools directory.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
That's what I read... however I don't have those? I have a

\platform and a \tools, ADB is in neither :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] normz007:
In order to get a screenshot... I did the following: (by the way my PC is on Windows 7)

1. Download the SDK and Installed it (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

2. Run the SDK and go to "Additional Packages"... third party... and download "Google usb driver" (actually I downloaded everything to be safe)... double check if you have everything under Installed Packages in the SDK then close it.

3. Went to Viewsonic GTab Super Thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209), I just focused and downloaded the "android_winusb.zip" and replaced the file that was in the SDK (instructions is on the thread)

4. Download and install "ADB over Wifi" widget from the Market

5. Go to Windows and "Update your PATH" (http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html) - see "How to update your PATH"

6. Follow the instructions on how to use ADB over Wifi (http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-guides-and-tips/(guide)-how-to-use-adb-over-wifi/)

7. Once you are successful you got the "connected to <your IP Addy>"... go back to Windows and find your Android SDK Tools folder and double-click on "ddms" and follow the instructions on (http://www.simplehelp.net/2009/07/2...ots-of-your-android-based-phone-from-windows/) on taking screenshots.

Hope this posting help you guys.

adb executable for Linux

The one I used is attached. Remember, this is for Linux. After unzipping, you need to do something like:

to make it executable.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] normz007:
Hmm, check my post on step 2. Although I basically downloaded everything (I'm sure we don't need all the packages... I was just so frustrated and just decided to download all hehe).
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
To get the rest of the stuff like platform-tools I believe you need to run the sdk manager and install at least one of the packages. At least it works like that in windows.

It's the Tegra problem

The people who are getting black probably have Tegra powered devices. Tegra doesn't use the fb0 frame buffer, which is where all those devices go for their screen grabs. For some reason the ADB screen grab does it in a different way which works.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] webby_s:
I know nothing about coding but I would bet there's a tweak for that then. Meaning someone could go into the code and tweak it for shootme and the others to work or the powers that be could tweak the screen taking apps to work with tegra.

Or am I way off on my thinking.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] tpbeta:
I'm told that the Tegra chip overlays all the elements of the display from different sources and doesn't use the framebuffer at all. So it's quite tricky. However it does appear to be possible via the ADB route - just no-one has bothered to figure out how to turn it into an App. As nearly all the tablets running Android use Tegra, I'm sure it will happen eventually.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] WapGiovan:
It's really too bad there is no simple way of grabbing a screen shot. Something I could do on my iPAQ and PCs.

I'm simply a user with NO technical Android knowledge.

EDIT Start

Just this morning, someone in another thread refereed to Screenshot ER from Fahrbot (I wish I could find that thread to say thanks). I downloaded the Demo and it worked right away and the installation was real easy no mucking around with ANYTHING.

Suffice to say I have purchased the full version.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scootle74:
ADB and DDMS still giving black screenshots...

So I'm a little confused... I managed to get ADB all set up and happy for my gTablet running CM 7.0.3, but the screen caps via DDMS still show up as all-black nothingness.

I have set up Java 1.7 and the SDK r13 under WinXP32.

Is there something else required to avoid the fb0 issues that plagues all the Tegra2 devices?

Thanks!

As much as I hated iTunes, I could manually sync music onto my iPod Touch my dragging files directly into iTunes.

Most of my Music is on external hard drive and DVDs I've burned so I don't want to add everything to my collection just to sync the music to WP7.

Is there a more convenient way of doing this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
The most convenient way is to add the music to your collection. Then you can drag and drop anything onto the Phone icon at the bottom left of the screen.

I'm not sure why you believe doing this to be inconvenient?
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
Because like I've said my music is spread over multiple back up disks and drives. I don't want to spend forever adding particular folders/subfolders into the collection which in fact modifies the windows libraries as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
I'm a bit confused. Is it that you don't want to add the music to your library. Or is it that you find it a nuisance to add the files to your library?

Whichever the case, I think the only solution is to add them to your Zune library. Don't know if there's another way to sync media to your phone. If you have stuff on an external HD, you can just select that HD drive letter, and it'll go through all the folders for ya.

Didn't you have to add them to iTunes in order to drag them over to your iPod?
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
Just use the USB mass storage bypass method and drag and drop the files and/or folders into the Music folder under Storage. All your music will appear in Zune on your phone.
[Desire General] Mekrel:
Hello all,

Whilst it hasn't been confirmed 100% that HTC Desire users will get the new Sense software as currently seen on the DesireHD - I just wanted to put across some of my opinions and ask if other feel the same way as me.

There's some DesireHD ROMs in the Desire Android Development section, which for the most part are based fully on the ROM found inside the HTC RUU, but moving most of the system applications to a EXT partition.

This means that the software itself on the phone is pretty much all of HTC's work, there's no added applications by the ROM chef.

This means, if (and that's a big if seeing as the Desire's /system partition is smaller than that of the DesireHD's) the Desire Sense 2.0 software we're apparently going to get will be very similar to the custom ROM's we're seeing now.

If this is the case, I'll be extremely disappointed by some of the direction that HTC have taken. They seem to have completely moved away from creating a better user interface for their consumers and instead, tried to find ways of making a quick buck or two.

For example:

SoundHound Trial - Installed to /system, so for those who do not root, this is uninstallable. I have Shazam with unlimited tagging due to installing it before a certain date

HTC Locations - A link to enabling Premium Navigation from Route66

AmazonMP3 - Tied into the music player

So I assume they have some deals in place with the developers / owners of these services, so they get some investment for distributing this software with their phones?

I don't want my ROM to be infested with trial ware, I bought my HTC Desire SIM free so I've given them my bloody money.

Okay, so I can remove these easily as I do root my phones and know my way around ADB but I just don't like the fact HTC are doing this after how clean the WWE ROM for the HTC Desire was.

Does anyone share the same opinion or see where I'm coming from?
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I'm sure all users would feel the same way as you do if HTC only included some trial-ware stuff. But this is hardly the case. The new Sense has a lot of significant improvements. Just to name a few:

-pinch in browser to access tabs.

-new interface in Mail (allows you to quickly select multiple messages to action)

-new widgets

-offline maps

-HTCsense.com

-fast boot

-themes

etc

Now, if those included softwares actually get in the way of the day-to-day operations of the phone, then sure, users would be pissed. For example, in the US, there are Android phones sold where it forces the user to use Bing for search and maps. HTC certainly doesn't force you onto those apps. You can choose to ignore them if you wish.

Sometimes, you just got to weigh the benefits with the drawbacks. I personally don't like having trialware on my phone. But the advantages of the new ROM far outweighs the minor inconvenience of me having to ignore the trial stuff...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I haven't had a chance to look into the new sense much (but i like the sound of the htcsense.com stuff) - but I would find it annoying having trialware that can't be removed - whenever I get a new laptop the first thing to go is all the junk (usually by a fresh re-install of the OS in some cases!)

at least with a PC it can be removed - I'm hoping that any extra junk that is installed can be ignored as the new features of Sense 2.0 seem nice!
[Desire General] vpraveenis:
I agree with the OP on this. First of all the Desire has a very limited internal memory. They wanted to cut costs on that and now they realize 512MB is not enough for everything and have increased it for Desire Z and HD. Thanks to all the mods here we are able to root and move some portion of rom to sd giving us more freedom to install apps.

Loading the system partition with bloat/crapware like this is going to bring down the useful data partition size and making it uninstallable makes me go what the *&^%

I paid my money and so "I" should decide what app are installed in my phone not "them" making those crapwares uninstallable is not good at all... they didnt give the phone for free or @ discounted rate...

Including trialwares is one thing... but making them non-removable completely puts me off. Being locked out of doing what I want with my device is what made me hate Apple... Android is open.. users do what they want or like.. it must be kept that way..

Just curious if anyone has seen a case for the N1 that has a built in kickstand like for the G2 that T-mobile sells (clear plastic, snap-on case)

The only one I have seen is the Body Glove case with the kickstand built into the belt clip, making the case obnoxiously bulky, especially when I won't use the belt clip. Just wanted something exactly like the G2's actually, a snap on case that has a kickstand and doesn't add bulk to the N1's amazingly thin and light body.

Hi. In order to get more battery life are the 21xxx roms are better than the 23xxx roms?I am using the 23669 rom and within 4 hrs of limited internet and phone usage it is drained. Thats why i was thinking of trying the latest 21916rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigchrizzieboy:
so, now what?

Alright, next time post this stuff in the ROM thread...

Or do you've got an specified question? There are much more "naked" COM3 (start on bottom) ROMS out here that don't drain the battery in my oppinion (try KWBR for example)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Avatar28:
Here are a few possibilities for you.

If you recently flashed, it may take a bit for the phone to calibrate the battery meter properly. Try a few power cycles. Drain your battery not quite to dead, 10-20% should do, before fully charging it. Do this a couple of times. Mine always seem to drain a lot faster for the first few days after a flash.

You could try a different ROM, either Energy or someone else. The eye candy is nice but it DOES come at a price.

You could try a different radio with your ROM. Some combinations work better than others. You might have to try a couple to find out what works best for your situation but 4.49.25.95 and 4.49.25.94 both seem to be solid choices.

Turn off 3G and wifi. Both are battery hogs but 3G is worse; use wifi instead of 3G if possible. If you are using push notification for email, turn it off and set it to automatically check every 15-30 minutes instead. If you can live with the slower speed, using GSM instead of 3G will help drastically.

Turn off GPS (location services) if you aren't using it. If you use QuickGPS you should still be able to get a lock in under 30 seconds, usually 10-15.

If you are in an area with poor signal, you will get worse battery life. I'm not sure the exact difference in radio power consumption but it is significant, several times higher with a weak signal.

If your battery has a lot of cycles on it, it could be losing it's capacity. Li-Ion batteries do that, unfortunately, and there isn't much that can be done besides replace it.

If you are looking at battery replacement anyways, you could get a larger battery for your phone. I think there has been some discussion of high-capacity batteries in the Accessories forum.

Get an external emergency charger like the Engergizer Energi To Go (note that you can find it MUCH cheaper). There are a lot of different ones but I have had good luck with the Energizer one. It comes with a pair of Lithium AAs but if you use it a lot, it will work with AA rechargeables too. You can get similar devices with a built in Li-Ion battery but I like the AA ones because you can always grab a couple of Alkalines almost anywhere in a pinch. Duracell makes a similar one. Stay WAY away from it, I had two and they sucked balls.

If it were me I would try flashing a new ROM (task 29 first if you can), new radio (start with 4.49.25.95 if you stay with EnergyROM) and give it at least three days. Turn off unneeded radios, push email, and (if you can) 3G. Get a portable power source like the Energizer one I mentioned that you can keep handy for when it starts to run down.

Anyone who is running Setiron's kernel, what undervolt settings work best for you? I can't seem to find any that are stable

Some phones can't be undervolted.

Start low.

I have: 125,125,100,75,50,25 (Top to bottom in the program). Set scheduler to noop.

don't 'Set on Boot', that way if it screws up, you can recover. Once you think it is good to go, then set on boot.

If it locks up, go with less. Just keep experimenting to find your threshold.
