[G2 and Desire Z General] JayBlunts:
With the visionary temp root I was able to get a taste of the goodness of root which of course made me want more....

However....

I removed visionary because my phone was acting up even with temp root. Occasionally I would have to reboot phone and then it wasn't rooting on boot as it should have been. Sometimes my phone was running really slow up until I removed visionary.

Rage method was flawless. Having never used adb or sdk it took me awhile... breakdown could have been a little more detailed for the noobs like me. But overall very pleased. Thanks to those responsible!

If you are rooting and getting that involved with your phone I recommend learning adb anyway. Its not as complicated as it looks. Just type adb and press return to get a list of commands and descriptions of what they do. This knowledge of adb allowed me to successfully root my G2 and HTC Espresso.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jacky113:
I perm rooted through visionary but reading this makes me want to root through rage. Is there a way to unroot perm root to do the process again?
[G2 and Desire Z General] AnyDone:
And again I find myself asking the same question:

Is there any source or proof of these mystery things? I have seen some of those brick / semi-brick threads but there is no definite way to tell what caused the problems.

As I already stated:

It might be the wpthis.ko, because it cold boots the emmc controller and that might **** up your filesystem. But then it would happen with rage also.

It might be Visionary IF and only if there is something that ****s with the filesystem. Has anyone seen the source? What does it really do? Does it tamper filesystem and /dev or /system or use some mount --- commands?

Also there is 3rd way: visionary and wpthis.ko does **** up each other in special cases? How that could be possible? I do not really know, maybe if visionary inserts kernel module which collapses with wpthis.ko?
[G2 and Desire Z General] AllWin:
I'll double that. After reading few horror stories, i've followed nice guide on CM wiki page which sugests to use gfree and it worked like a charm.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wayde187:
Clearly its not a problem of following instruction, you download the app and then select which method of root you want, temp or perm, doing temp first of course. How can you f*ck that up??? It has to be a problem involving the ota and visionary not working together correctly. I used visionary with no problem when it first came out and then I downloaded the ota. After that I wiped my phone because I was having problems and ever since I got rid of visionary I haven't been able to achieve any sort of root after re-downloading it. So when ever I get my computer back I will definately be using rage and I reccomend it to anyone else who can follow instructions to the t.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Thanks, yeah, that's my point. It's designed to be a "foolproof" one-click (sort-of) way of rooting. But if it only works sometimes, and messes up a lot of people's phones, what's the point ?

The trouble is that when it goes wrong you have no error messages, no diagnostics, nothing.

At least with rage you can see each command so if there's an error message you can see what happened. Sure, rage doesn't work for every single case, but usually that *is* a case of not following the instructions carefully enough - and at least it doesn't semi-brick your phone if it doesn't work properly.

Many of the #G2ROOT guys don't recommend Visionary, and I'd like to think they know what they're talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AnyDone:
For the record:

Afaik there is two possible methods of rooting an Android phone. One uses udev "feature" (as in sends messages to kernel / mounts some **** with udev. this gains root access via a feature in Android that udev runs with uid 0)

Other forks thousends of child threads so the device gets confused and can't demote every one of them.

Now I happen to know that rage method forks these child objects. Does visionary use that method too or does it do (so called) rage against the cage by exploiting the udev 'bug'?

If it uses the udev bug there is definately a possibility to **** up a file system. Still both of these methods should be safe.

But still this does not answer my question? Is it a bug in visionary which gets invoked by some envinromental condition or is it a bug in the software itself?

I would be really interested in knowing that... and for the record I used Visionary with no problems.

I have rooted 3 G2s with visionary with S-off everything no bricks at all.

Hey guys

I just got a X10 today and wanted to try out the Dark10 theme and everything went well.

I though i should try the pitch black theme and the install went well at first but then reboot and pc swaid: no device found.

The phone rebooted and just black screen with the sony Ericsson "highlight"

is my new X10 gone already :-( or is there anything i can do.

It doesnt boot up, so it doesnt show on my pc.

regards

"Edit"

Got it fixed :-) weee, thought it was all over ..hehe
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
Let us know how you did it. It may prove helpful to other users, you may even have discovered an easier way.
[XPERIA X10 General] PoTi_96:
We dont need to know it ;)

Just a reflash with SEUS or the flasher from xda and viola it works ;)

We just need to be "carefull" when it even doesnt show up "sony ericsson"
[XPERIA X10 General] jessie090672:
Yeah, a reflash with SEUS did the job.

I wasnt aware of the fact that the reflash was a posibility, because it didnt even boot.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zer0_:
hmm I wonder why it did that :S
[XPERIA X10 General] hidebank:

Your new to your x10 right? Your device can never be broken when its an issue whit software there is always a way to fix it like xrecovery ,seus,flashtool, unless you do physical damage or water damage hope this will make you feel confident about your x10 so dont be scared trying new things ;)

Goodluck.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denraweb:
Is there any way to unassociate a file-program relationship?

Allow me to elaborate...

I used handcent for texting on my g2. I sold that yesterday and got a mt4g, but I have a problem. When I installed it on my g2 and first opened a text, a message popped up and asked me which program I wanted to use and I clicked handcent. Ever since then I never had a problem with it on my g2, it would always open my texts with handcent. But when I opened a text on my mt4g it didn't ask but I didnt think anything of it at first. But i noticed now that when I get a text, i get 2, one for the stock app and one for handcent. Is there any way to "unassociate" the program with the text files? So then my stock messaging app won't work? i also tried going to "manage applications" and tried to uninstall the stock app but the box is greyed out and you cannot delete it, nor did I know if this was a good idea or not.

TIA
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Disable notifications in stock app and you should be good to go.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUEDRO:
1. Go to Manage Apps, find stock messages.apk and click the "Clear Defaults" button at the bottom

2. Use titanium if you wanna freeze or uninstall Messages.apk (not recommended since messages.apk have the auto-retrieve option for SMSs)

3. And yes disable any notifications in Settings of stock app

If the phone is unlocked yes, if not no, but its not to hard unlocking your phone.
[General Topics] TheBiles:
So how do you know if it is unlocked? Is that like a clean ESN for CDMA phones? If you buy a phone on contract, is it automatically locked until the contract is up?

[General Topics] oc3rulz:
If you are buying a phone that is sold by a USA Carrier its got about a 95% is LOCKED. You will know when you put the sim in, if you get ERROR SIM LOCKED, Please Enter Unlock Code, it's locked. Otherwise if it lets you into the phone your golden. Locked/Unlocked is not even close to ESN being clear/bad. Just means carriers have the phone locked to them, you can buy an unlock code for almost any GSM phone for $20 or less
[General Topics] TheBiles:
So the lock is just specific to a carrier and not a user?

[General Topics] oc3rulz:
Correct. So that you have to come to them to get that specific phone
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Some phones can be unlocked via tools you can find here on XDA other phones require some bigger equipment and you typically have to go on ebay or a similar site to get your unlock code based on your IMEI number
[Droid 2 General] soulpile:
I have been looking for some solutions to de-complicating the Droid 2 and have been stumped so far.

1) Is there a way to put large photos on a home screen that link to a direct dial? The current/stock contacts widget photos are too small and the direct dial link is also not the photo itself. I just want to put two medium-large photos on the screen and give them a tap to dial the contacts.

2) Is there any way to make the app icons bigger?

3) Can the voice dialer be made more simple? Rather than "dial [contact] mobile 1," is there a way to just say "dial [contact]?"

4) When making a call, the screen stays on and buttons get pressed. Any way to disable this?

- I do not want to root the phone at the moment.

Thank you in advance for any help provided.
[Droid 2 General] droidmakespwn:
I'm not sure about 1 or 2 but the default google search bar you can say call (contact) and it will dial the person you said and the backlight is supposed to turn off when the phone is against your face because of a small sensor somewhere on the front of the screen. If its not working you either accidently disabled it some or the phone is not working properly. Check your apps and see if anything you downloaded may be doing that. Hope that helps a little.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
for #1 search the market for clickable picture frame. awesome app, can do direct call, direct text, etc.
[Droid 2 General] soulpile:
Thank you!

The clickable picture frame is exactly what I needed.

I am still working on the other issues.

The screen proximity sensor seems to work correctly for me, but the phone user still has trouble with it. We're troubleshooting bit by bit.

The best weather app is found@ http://www.weather-android.com
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
Hi guys,

Seems that there is another update for HTC Hub (Version 1.5)

I noticed that with this version we can see in HTC HUB Tile the weather and location, something that never happened before.

Good update :D
[HD7 General] PJ11:
Yes, excellent update. Live tile is just what it needed and you can set it to update every hour if needed.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
Yes, its there, but still I think, that it would be better, if the weather could be used as a separeted Live Tile. The whole HUB takes ages to start...
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
I would love the Weather as a separate tile like the Stocks.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
My advice for HTC:

1. Separate weather from HUB

2. For HTC phones make it for free

3. For the rest sell it in the marketplace for USD 2,99

Better, than make the app unusable, so everybody is using different one like weather bug or weather channel.
[HD7 General] antoniomistretta:
Does anyone have the xap file of the htc hub? :rolleyes:
[HD7 General] ceesheim:
sorry , but it is impossible to sideload app's from marketplace (signed app's)

so even if you find someone (one that used wireshark) that has the .xap you would never get it on your phone.
[HD7 General] andyspr:
V1.5 is getting better definitely. As an over 50 who can't read the time at the top of the screen without putting my reading glasses on, I would also like the tile to show the time in the usual HTC style!
[HD7 General] LuRock:
nice update
[HD7 General] LuRock:
Hey Antonio nice to see you here much respect on all your work, Im a fan. :)

On the HTC Hub update, its nice to have the weather on the tile now but like someone already mentioned, one smaller tile would be better. Also I would love to see the HTC Clock on a tile, that would be awesome..
[HD7 General] Cryos:
Saw this on pocketnow; I updated my HTC Hub to 1.5 but my Tile on the start screen is still the static one.

Anyone else experience this problem ?

Have restarted, repinned etc..
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
Strange :confused:

For me worked fine after the upgrade and until now he works without problems after any update of my location that I make
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Dude, chill and wait. The updates to your tile will come.
[HD7 General] sayonical:
I updated but no change in my HTC hub either. I also have been having a lot of problems with 3rd party apps that use live tiles.

1. Beezz do not work for me at all. I get an erro when I try to save settings

2. GReadie do not work either. Says cannot connect to push channel

3. HTC hub dont work

Weather Channel, Flixter and Weather bug work.

shrugs
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
Beezz's live tile updates are a bit squiffy at the moment, I'm sure it'll settle down soon enough. Can't speak for GReadie, don't use it. HTC Hub updates are working fine, you just have to wait for the update to get to your phone. Give it 24 hours.
[HD7 General] antoniomistretta:
Thank you! :)
[HD7 General] antoniomistretta:
You're absolutely right. :)

We just wait! :D

[HD7 General] Rouz.:
same problem, ive been using the updated version (1.5) for days, but the tile's image is still static

Open HTc Hub and go to Settings > and UNCHECK update when opened.. thats it your live tile should work now

you might want to change the frequency to every hour as well if you really wanna updated weather all the time

I tried all these options, it simply doesnt work. I even did a hard reset, setting up everything again just for this reason ...

I would tell him to wait for the LTE phones to be released honestly. The Fascinate is great and all but were behind update wise and it should not be much longer for new phones.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Aren't LTE phones just on display this week at CES with release still a few months out, maybe March/April timeframe?
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
Verizon said LTE handsets should be out by "mid 2011" on their December conference call. That's more like July. We still have a while to wait.

Wouldn't hurt to wait for CES though - something surprising could always jump out.
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
It isn't that long when you consider the fact that you extend your contract 2 more years. Unless you pay retail...

But honestly the biggest problem is Verizon. :(

I currently have a stock N1 and about the go the 1 click route to root. The main purpose I am rooting is to get WIFI calling since my apartment has no signal.

I understand that I will be needing to use one of the Korean radios for WIFI calling to work. Is there much difference between them? I've seen lots of easy how to's for most aspects of rooting but not for radios and I've heard thats the more dangerous part.

I just ordered a new micro SD and plan to set up apps 2 sd, can I implement that at any time or will that format my current SD card when I load up CM 6.1 or some other part of the process.

I had a rooted G1 that I kept up with but since switching to N1 I fear I have fallen way behind on all the options and the amount of info out now is a bit overwhelming. So, my apologies for the newbish nature of my questions.

There's another, similar to Bump, called Hoccer. I've not used either, but Hoccer's description on the market is: "Share your pictures, music, contacts, bookmarks, messages and arbitrary files with simple gestures like dragging or throw n' catch to near by recipients. No setup, no user accounts!"

It's free, and apparently works between Android, iPhone, and their web client.
