Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, from Windows machines I am able to connect to the WDTV at '\\wdtvlive'.

I'm running DD-WRT on an Asus WL-520GU. Is there anything I can do with that to resolve the issue with the A101? Maybe setting up something with DNSmasq?

So it seemed to be working with the latest firmware update, except that it's unbelievably slow at listing the share contents.

Now, after a reboot, it's either listing contents even slower, or it's not working past log in to the WDTV.
[Galaxy Tab General] txjockey:
Hiya

I have been a member of XDA Developers for a while now and have found the site very helpful for Windows based mobiles. I have taken a giant step and brought a Samsung Galaxy Tab which to be fair I have been very happy with.

Last night I was " playing " with KIES to see what it would do and I was advised I needed an update, so I duly backed up the handset and went ahead with the update. All seemed to be going well until about 1 hour in when there was no progress on the update. Being sensible I went to bed and left it overnight only to find the same status. I called Samsung and was told in no uncertain terms there was no upgrade. Now I know I wasnt going to get an upgrade to the next version of Android and I already had 2.2 Froyo but that doesnt mean to say Samsung hadnt released an interim update (and searches here and elsewhere suggest this is the case)

Anyway to cut a long story short I had to terminate the upgrade and attempt to roll it back by reconnecting the handset. I was unable to do this as the initial attempt to update had bricked my handset to the degree it became totally unresponsive and I couldnt even turn it off. When I thought I had it came back on with coloured line horizonally arcross the screen.

At this point I gave up and returned the unit to the Carphone Warehouse who refused to replace it on the basis I have had it just over 28 days. It is therefore gone for repair (probably to be reflashed). When I spoke to the salesman he advised I was not the first go in with a KIES related problem. Given my later research and the information from him I can say that I wont be using KIES again and I suggest that other people are careful too.

What I would like to know, going forward is there any other option apart from KIES to upgrade a Samsung handset ? Im thinking ahead for when Gingerbread comes out.

Thanks for reading.

Hey guys

So I've been a quiet member for ages but now, I have problems with my Hero (Android 1.5) and need some help. I've read online but I don't seem to see anyone else that has this problem - when I go into recovery mode, I can't do the USB-MS thing, nor can I backup like point 3).

I just did something different (really not sure what), but my phone now won't go into recovery when its plugged into the computer and Win7 says the device driver was not successfully installed.

"2. Make sure your phone is in recovery mode (Home + Power)

Plug your phone into your computer and select "USB-MS toggle" in recovery

Place the Custom ROM on your SD card in the main directory and press Home when it has finished copying over

3. Select Backup/Restore > Nand backup > confirm with Home > Wait

(or Nand + Ext if you have A2SD setup)

4. Press back then select Wipe from the main menu, then select:

Wipe data/factory reset > Home

Wipe cache > Home

Wipe Dalvik-cache > Home

Wipe SD:ext partition > Home

Press back button

Select Flash Zip from SD Card

Select the file

Press Home to confirm"

I have already done the recovery ROM thing and I'm trying to install VillainROM (not quite there yet, but just mentioning it). Can someone please help me before I lose my mind :P Thanks guys!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treesurf:
OK, can you get into recovery when the phone is NOT plugged into the computer? It's not necessary to be plugged into USB to do from step 3 onwards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Hi,

Can you post which guide you're using. I think you need to install a patched recovery like AmonRA though.

There is a "rooting" guide which I think you will need to follow first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kr1tikalMas:
Ok, this wasn't the exact one but they're very similar

Oh, got this error, so please excuse the following:

villainrom co uk/vBwiki/index.php/Installing_Custom_ROMs

I compared a lot of different ones and I'm not sure which one I posted...

I can get into recovery without it being plugged in, but the computer doesn't pick the phone up if I plug it in after its in recovery mode.

@pulser_g2: I've done all of this stuff:

•Install HTC Sync from here

•Download Universal Androot

•Download AmonRA Recovery v1.7.0.1.img – easier if you rename this “recovery.img” when it is on your sdcard

Place both downloaded files on your SD Card

Root & Recovery

•Download and install Astro File Manager from the Market

•Open Astro and find and install Universal Androot from your sdcard:

Select UniversalAndroot.apk > Open App Manager > Install > Settings> [tick] Unknown Sources > OK > Back > Select UniversalAndroot.apk > Open App Manager > Install > Install > Open

•In the app and choose the correct version from the dropdown box:

•Superuser for Android 2.0~2.2 – if you have updated your phone recently

•Superuser for Android 1.5~1.6 – if you have refused updates recently or your country/provider hasn’t released one yet

Then choose: “Root ”

Wait until it says “Woot ! Your device is rooted !” and exit the program.

•Download and install Android Terminal Emulator from the Market

•Run “Terminal Emulator” the program and type in the following:

su [enter]

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img [enter]

reboot recovery [enter]

•Your phone should now restart and place you in recovery mode. You can also do this manually by turning off your phone and press Home + Power to turn it back on.

Do I still need AmonRA? Is that from MarketPlace?
[Desire HD General] wakers:
I've read a few things about not using Task Killers on the DHD as its not required, just done a little experiment though.

Did a Quadrant score on my DHD i'm running Leedroid 1.2 with standard Kernel.

My quadrant score was 1508... (after it being on and used all day)...

Downloaded Advanced task killer from the market ran it killed all the apps running let the system settle so that scrolling was smooth etc ran quadrant again and got 1959.

Does this actually mean anything ?

I'm not having any issue's with my phone just curious to see what the difference was...
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Doesn't mean a bean. I hit 3000 in quadrant, no task killer. Just in Aeroplane Mode (proper spelling) for the test.

Android 2.2 handles tasks & memory very well, chances are "killed" apps will just restart themselves anyway. Especially if they are widgets on you home screens.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backtothemac:
Okay. If I have missed it, please don't yell at me lol. I have an Evo 4G Black. Here is the info.

Android 2.2

Software Number 3.30.651.3

This is my third one that I have had. I bricked the other two trying to root them so I could install a customer ROM. I hate Sense, but love this phone. Anyway, is there a way that will work for this model? I have seen several roots out there, but don't know which I should use and which will work. I cannot exchange for another, so if I brick this I am screwed. Thanks everyone,

If you have bricked two evo's by trying to install roms, you need to stop. Its not that hard, and if you are bricking them, i wouldnt risk bricking the third. You're the reason why we pay so much for phones, because you have exchanged them when its your fault. You should have used your insurance since its your fault.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backtothemac:
Um, actually, it is difficult. It is because all known root methods didn't work with the new evo's that were released during the middle of November. I downgraded on, and it would still fail. The question I asked wasn't for a critique of what you think about me, or why phones are expensive. It was a simple question of is there a way to root the new Evos. So, thank you for your ridiculous assessment that "I" am the reason that phones are so expensive.

So thank you for your analysis, but it wasn't required, so go troll another thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
So I'm about to go buy an Evo today and I'm just about to leave and I get an email notice from BestBuy saying the the new Nexus S is going to hit stores soon and I stop...is it even worth buying an Evo now or should I hold off!? I got my Hero a few months before the Evo came out because I needed a new phone and now I am due for an up-grade but should I hold off, will Sprint release something soon that blows the Evo out of the water?

Anyone have any insight?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlaqkAudio:
Well, I'm hoping the Nexus S comes out on Sprint. I'd like a high end phone, but no matter how many times I hold one, the Evo just seems too big.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Nexus S will probably NOT be coming to Sprint, though I can envision Samsung releasing Touchwiz versions eventually (well, maybe). As for Sprint coming out with something better than the EVO sooner than later, well, who knows, besides them. You can always just get the EVO, and if something better comes along (by IF I mean definitely, as that's how technology works obviously) soon, resell it and pay maybe $1-150 tops out of pocket.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostov22:
well what's really the diff. between the nexus one and the nexus s....snapdragon vs hummingbird.....what else...second camera on nexus s? and htc vs samsung?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irving Cowboy:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
Well I like the size of the Evo so no sense in waiting for the smaller one. Looks like I will just get the Evo and then figure out how to get CM6 on it lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rank78:
Nexus S is going to t-mobile, unless you get it unlocked. It's not much of an upgrade from the Nexus 1, front facing cam but not as good as EVO I believe, also there's no microSD card its all 16gb internal. No touchwiz. Oh yea, and its a samsung.

As much as I want to upgrade I'll wait for the feb/march batch of phones, I don't want to drop $529 for a phone that will be outdone in a major way in as little as 2-3 months.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
It's a faster processor, at least. Lack of MicroSD is really dumb, don't really understand the thinking behind that one myself. It is a Samsung, but yeah, no Touchwiz is a positive, the GPS issues the Galaxy-S series seems to have been plagued with have apparently been ironed out with (at least I think I read that.. maybe don't quote me on that), and since it's a developer phone it'll be dogfed the latest updates from Google, also a big plus (especially with future implementation of NFC and some other more behind the scenes stuff like that).

However, still interested in how the reviews and general reception of it turn out, especially since T-Mobile already has the G2 and MyTouch 4G, both really nice phones on their own. Also, this news makes me really happy: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/08/evo-shift-4g-aka-htc-knight-speedy-shows-up-in-accessory-pic/

Sprint-branded Desire Z? Probably the best phone to have on the carrier if that pans out sooner than later.

I think nexus s will be T-mobile.....come on sprint....they need to get more high end android phones in.......
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
I don’t think any of the Galaxy S phones have LED notifications.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
I'm not so much worried about whether the Nexus S will be coming to Sprint I am worried that there might be something coming from Sprint that will make the Evo look like junk. I got my Hero thinking it was top dog and months later I was kickin' myself in the ass. And now that the Evo has established it's dominance I am afraid to jump on the bandwagon incase something superior hits.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Well, it looks like the "Knight"/"Speedy"/"Evo Shift 4G" should be announced sometime sooner than later. Since it'll be a Sprint-branded Desire Z/G2 seemingly, I'd say that's worth holding out for.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
yeah that's what I keep reading but it's smaller and a slider...neither of which I hold in high regard.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
My close friend works for sprint they are getting the htc Knight aka baby evo 4g which has NO front facing camera and is not better then the EVO. That's all they are telling sprint employees right now. Everything else is just rumors and wishes. I also have a friend who works for t-mobile(chick I'm messing around with lol) who says tmo is getting the nexus s they already have some accessories for it in the back and the specs are pretty much same as nexus one but WITH a front facing camera. Biggest downfall is that its a Samsung so need I say more about that company.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Biggest downfall is a lack of external storage.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
It's already known Nexus S is hitting T-Mobile. Also, if the EVO Shift is the Desire Z (can't see it NOT being it), then it will be better than the EVO (second generation processor, bettery battery life as a result, faster, etc). I guess we will see, but yeah.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Worse idea ever man I would never buy a phone with out external storage NEVER
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Maybe battery life but I'm sure the evo would hold its own; this phone having only internal storage makes it just as bad as an iPhone no deal. Also I'm not going crazy over desire z stats anyways :rolls eyes:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creata.physics:
Weird, maybe since I work for Sprint General Business Care in a call center is why I don't get any inside scoop. I get customers asking me about newer phones that will blow away the Evo 4G but I know nothing about it, nor does our sales department, so I call stores to get necessary info to provide them with and they are also clueless. Maybe you're hearing just rumors, the HTC Knight (Evo Shift) whatever you want to call it is a known device with no specific release date, but is real. I get updates on all new devices, such as our new stupid Motorola and Sanyo phone which came out today but isn't worth a crap, so I'll post anything verified from Sprint if anything is in the mix.

I'll be available for an upgrade in August, I'm going to buy the Evo at retail price because for the time being, it is worth it as far as developing and conventional use goes. I do Advanced Exchanges (warranty replacements) for the Epic 4G much more than the Evo 4G, prl issues that cannot be resolved where the phone hardly establishes a connection to it's preferred list, moisture built up UNDER the AMOLED screen, slide out keyboard hardware issues, charging port failures, speaker and even microphone failure, and several other things. There are more common issues with the Epic 4G than there are with the Evo 4G, that is a definite. I would hold off for now, the Epic 4G is an amazing phone for what it's worth, but I don't think it's worth risking the problems it may have, of course it goes the same way with the Evo 4G, just less risk statistically. If you truly NEED a new phone then go with whatever you personally prefer, if you just WANT a new phone then hold off until about mid January, early February.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
Well said...I'll just lay low with my Hero. I will just have to carry a charger with me everywhere I go for a little while.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creata.physics:
@DanWalker, if you have some extra cash laying around I'd go ahead and get this. Saved my life, I can moderately use my phone daily without needed to charge until I get home at the end of the day, unless I'm out all night then of course I'll need a charger, but for moderate use on work or school days this should do the trick. It got nothing but good reviews and I can personally vouch that it is worth the money.

[Android Software Development] dandlewood:
Hey guys,

I think I need a little help. I'm working on a project for a restaurant menu which will use a tablet as the menu. The menu is display only, meaning that the customer will not be able to place an order. The menu will be interactive in that you will be able to click on menu items and receive more information/pictures/etc of the dish. The menu changes on a weekly basis (minor changes, for the most part) so I was thinking that I would need a database driven site in order to make sure that everything remains grouped appropriately. My question is can this be done locally on either a SD card or installed directly to the device? my limited understanding of database driven websites is that there needs to be server-side software installed for the site to run correctly. Any help/advice/alternatives would be appreciated.
