http://cgi.ebay.com/Savvies-screen-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a0cba39aa

Seems like it could be a good deal; plus it is a dry install which I have grown to like after using Realook. What worries me a little, though, is the same seller is selling different screen protectors for the Nexus S at higher/lower prices. So I wonder what the quality of this one will be.

Any have experience with this brand?

EDIT: If anyone is interested, it is a dollar-ish cheaper directly from their website than eBay: http://www.protectionfilms24.com/ar...ar-screen-protector-google-nexus-s-48062.html

heres a weird one... yesterday i was out somewhere where i had to remove the phone battery for 15 minutes or so.

when i put the battery back in to start the phone it showed the battery was at 0% and the red light was blinking. I thought it maybe a bug / glitch so i restarted the phone by simple poweroff/poweron.

same thing. 0%

so i removed the battery - reinserted and the problem went away. now the battery reads 100% ... left the phone without charge all night and even though wifi was on i woke up to find it at 80%.

this is all running BlackFreedom_signed_007.rar

i am starting to think the problem maybe hardware related (battery) ? although the battery has been good to me lately.

any ideas/feedback?
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Sounds more like a software glitch. Once you remove the battery, without powering off, you "hard" reset the phone. I would monitor it for the next few days using any battery monitoring app from the market and see what happens.
[XPERIA X10 General] cylent:
perhaps.

i removed 007 and installed Eternety 002 rom ... guess what? it read the battery correctly at 66% whereas 007 read it as 80 for hours on end.

so ya. s/w glitch perhaps.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mano1982:
I've also experienced it a few time :) Removed battery without power off, reinserted after few minutes & it showed less than 5% with red blinking light. Removing & inserting again helped :)

I recently rooted my EVO and made a backup using rom manager. While I was rooted I was able to enter recovery mode after holding the volume down and pressing the power button. Today, I unrooted my EVO and cant seem to get back into the recovery mode. When I try to do enter recovery mode, I get a symbol of the phone with a red triangle (or something like that). IS there anyway to enter recovery mode (so i can restore my phone to my backup) while unrooted? Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
That is recovery... if you want to access the commands hold power then vol up once you are inside that screen, you should get a blue menu with the recovery options.

Oops didnt read the 'unrooted' part... yes once you unroot you lose custom recovery. Ideally you should root your current stock then install your preferred custom recovery and then restore your backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
When rooted you were using a custom recovery. The only way to get this back is to root the evo. You also can't use nandroid on unrooted phones.

Thanks alot. That did get me in. I was wondering if there is anyway to access my sd card so that i can restore the backup i had made when I was rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucs:
Thanks rafroelich. I tried to re-root my phone (after i did the ota update today) using unrevoked and it didnt work.

I was hoping there was a way access my backup from the recovery screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucs:
Thanks fenixjn. Would you know if it is possible to flash ur backup from the sd card using the computer?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucs:
Its just kind of annoying because I can see my backup on my sd card and i was wondering if there was any way to restore it even though I am not rooted right now?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helioXverse:
To restore a backup made while rooted, you need to be rooted. To user your backup, you would need to root again, and install a custom recovery.

However, if you have s-off, you should be able to flash the pc36img of the recovery you want (used previously) and restore from there.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
If your bootloader still shows S-OFF then you can flash a custom recovery and restore, otherwise you are SOL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indagroove:
^^ What he said. ^^

If you have unrevoked forever installed, you should still be s-off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucs:
Damn. My bootloader shows S-On after I unrooted the phone. I went back and tried to root the phone after i installed the OTA 3.70 but unrevoked didnt work.

would you know of any programs that allow me to enter into a custom recovery so I can do a nandroid backup restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
What are your hBoot and Radio versions? You may be able to re-root and install a custom recovery. Even if you unroot as long as you keep the custom recovery it should retain full functionality to do nandroids.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
AFAIK there are no other programs other than unrevoked to flash a custom recovery in automated mode from the computer. As an earlier poster said: your best chance is to check your hboot version and see if it is possible to root again using the manual methods like the one for 2.02.

If not them you must wait until someone checks a way to root 3.70 and use stock in the meantime.

Sent from the iPhone Assassin
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogos:
It's possible to restore the backup, I don't suggest doing it. If you follow the 2.02 manual root method you can do everything except S-OFF. Since you are HBOOT 2.10 it is slightly more a pain in the rear because you have to do a lot of the steps in terminal emulator on your phone instead of cmd prompt on the computer. In short you can run the rage exploit to get su on terminal and then use terminal to flash the mtd-eng.img. Reboot into bootloader and go to recovery and wait for it to fail out to the red triangle screen. Then you can use your computer command prompt to push recovery, install busybox, and get recovery started. I don't think recovery will stay on after a reboot though because you are S-ON.

It would at least allow you to restore the nandroid backup. However, you are on the new radio files, which means you would have to also flash the new stock kernel or you will get stuck in a boot loop.

You also will not be able to get S-OFF because unrevoked forever is not compatible with the new radio file. And people are having trouble downgrading the radio right now it seems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucs:
xHausx...my hboot version is - 2.10.0001

my radio is - 2.15.00.11.19

Is my best bet to wait until a root comes out for this new version that I installed yesterday?

Its so annoying because I can see my backup there but cant access it. My main issue was that when I unrooted I realized that my contacts where saved on my phone a little bit too late. Now it seems that I cant restore them from my backup until a root is available for this OTA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nucs:
I got some great help with this issue on other forums. I was advised that maybe getting an older hboot will help. Does anyone know if it is possible to return to an older hboot so that i can root and enter recovery to restore a backup?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] davux:
I've enhanced my Webserver sample to support reading from the device (where allowed), as well as reading/writing IsolatedStorage

The XAP is located in the Webserver project.

To access the webserver, open the app on your phone (it will disable the idle timer and run behind the lock screen--but WiFi will turn off, so you'll want to be connected via USB or don't let it sleep)

//phone_ip/IsolatedStorage

//phone_ip/Windows

IsolatedStorage is a special case (virtual directory that uses the SDK IsolatedStore APIs), the filesystem is mounted at the root of the webserver. Note that if you navigate to //phone_ip/, you will not see anything, as we are not able to list the contents of the root directory.

I am working to create a real socket library that mimics System.Net/.Sockets, and System.IO for file access. TcpClient and TcpListener are in a mostly functional state already.

Most of the socket and I/O code came from jmorrill. :) I have pulled code from mono to mimic System.Net.

Perhaps I'll spend some time on the web UI next, maybe a fancy Silverlight uploader. There doesn't seem to be a ton of interest though, so we'll see.

Update ("v2"):

- Authentication

- UI

- Adapter list

- More reliable
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
nice.. :) will try it out.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] endeffekt:
Very nice! Thanks!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] davux:
I've updated the sample to one with a UI, Authentication and more reliability.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
Looking at your code WP7 looks more and more like a normal windows CE with a secured UI.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] davux:
Yeah, I think someone with a strong WM background could port code to [native, homebrew] WP7 pretty quickly. Pretty much everything works just fine.... I just wish we could add the System.Net .NET CF assemblies back to the GAC. :/
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
Noob questions: It says "connect to your wifi address below". How? Also, connect the phone or the pc? And navigate via IE mobile?

As I said, noob questions. Thanks for any help.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ajhvdb:
start ie and type in http://wifi address
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pth6:
I have found on alternateboot.reg

; Disable MTPz USB function driver
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\CompositeFN]
"ClientDriverList"=multi_sz:"Serial_Class"

What is MTPz USB function driver?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
... which gives me the ever-popular "cannot find server or DNS address". What am I doing wrong? I assume you meant IE on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I think (might be misreading your question), you'll need to plug your device in to USB (or be prepared to loose the connection), then on your desktop, go to one of the IPs listed (in IE or any other browser).

On the screenshot shown, WiFi is the last one, with "BCMSDDHD1" attached to the label, thought the device name may be different for you. Try one that has "192.168.1." as that'll be the most likely option.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
Thanks. Next noob question: It asks for a user/password. What do I use and or where do I set it?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I don't know what the default password is, but if you type admin/admin in on the device for user/pass that works fine.

EDIT:

// In order to secure the device, the default password is a random number, not a static default

So you'll need to change it, unless you can read minds :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
OK. admin/admin works. Next nq: I get "Error opening directory:O". Is there a specific path to enter?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Try 192.168.1.XX/Windows and that should work.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
Ba-da-bing! We are in business. :D :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] obelix:
this works great! does this work just over USB? I assumed that since I didnt see an SSID advertised that the webserver wasn't broadcasting over WiFi.

A few feature suggestions:

* Make it clearer in the device UI to use the last IP address. I had assumed I would use the SERIAL ON USB IP address

* When browsing files, show a detail view so that you can see date/time modfied, type (optional), size

* when in a subdirectory add an Up ellipsis (...) to more easily walk back up the directory tree.

* be able to filter a directory listing so that you can display just certain file types (ie *.exe)

* Be able to download files

I love it! Its handy to be able to get a file listing that you can copy so that you can capture file listings.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] obelix:
Scratch the suggestion to add downloading files, the filenames are of course URLs which enable http downloads :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] obelix:
I found a bug. When you click on a file to download it the href seems to have an issue since the file extension is stripped. You can easily add it during the save but it would be easier to have that done by default. I need to check the syntax but for example for filebrowser.exe the html is:

<a href="/Windows/FileBrowser.exe?download=1">FileBrowser.exe</a><br />

This was handy so that it was possible to download an EXE and see what certificate is used for signing.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] obelix:
It looks like if you press Back or Start the webserver shuts down or is tombstoned.

I wonder if anyone has come up with a way to keep an application from being killed.

If that was possible then the webserver could provide active control. In that case if it was running in the background a great feature to add would be a screen capture function.

I followed all the steps to root my Nexus S

Super User is installed

I can I tell if my phone is Rooted correctly?

I can not get rom manager or Set CPU to work both say they can not get super user permissions

Last question

How do I boot into CW from my nexus S?

I flashed it threw comand prompt on the computer and was able to use CW to unzip superuser but after I reboot the phone I cant seem to access CW unless I reflash it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

i have a samsung Galaxy S I9000, I want to root my phone so how to do this.:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] krtken:
Depends what kind of root you need.

If you only need root permissions to install apps or edit system files then all you need is z4root.apk .. awailable in the market. (has an temp root / perm root and unroot function)

or download SuperOneClickv1.5.1 awailable in these forums.

BUT if you want to use .zip files to modify or update your system... then you need the 2e recovery ...

That for you need

CF-Root-XX_OXA_JPU-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3.zip

or

CF-Root-XX_OXA_JPU-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.zip

[HTC Aria Android Development] Blam23:
Should I root my phone first before upgrading to 2.2 or upgrade first then root?
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
If you're talking about the Over The Air (OTA) update that was announced, you should only upgrade with that if you don't want to root or customize anymore. For the moment, that OTA will take away root if you have it and you won't be able to get it back (for now).

If you're talking about upgrading to 2.2 using one of the ROMs posted here on XDA, then you need to root your phone in order to have the option to flash one of those onto your Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Blam23:
Thanks that was very helpful! I'm going to root first them upgrade with one of the 2.2 ROMs here. I didn't know an OTA 2.2 update was out for the Aria already.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
Well, it is and it isn't... it's available for non-branded Arias. AT&T hasn't released their version of the 2.2 update for the Aria, but when they do it will break your root access if you install it. At least temporarily. There's really no reason to use the official updates unless you need to return your Aria for some reason. Otherwise, you'll have more features using the custom ROMs here.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SectorNine50:
With the 2.2 upgrade for the Aria, were there any advancements on Adobe Flash?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
No since this is an HTC Sense ROM, it still uses HTC Flash Lite just like the original ROM did. The Aria processor is not currently supported by Adobe Flash 10.x.
[HTC Aria Android Development] AkumaMax:
ok so I got a question. I have an ATT aria can I get the HTC 2.2 rom on my phone and then root my phone?
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
No, at the moment you can't. If you install the HTC OTA update you will lose root and be unable to get it back until one of the devs figures it out again. There are, however, plenty of Froyo ROMs to choose from, so you really don't need the HTC update to get 2.2.

Thanks I have the Liberated rom on my phone right now. I'm just looking for a 2.2 Froyo that has the full bluetooth dialer support.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Blam23:
What's the best ROM out there right now? Which one would you recommend?
[HTC Aria Android Development] 911jason:
Currently, the two Froyo (Android 2.2) contenders for the Aria are CyanogenMod 6.1 and Liberated FR008.

Cyanogen offers a more unedited Android product with access to all sorts of settings and customization options. Liberated is more of a stock HTC Sense version of Android. Both ROMs are pretty much the creation of XDA member Attn1 who spends a ton of time developing for the Aria and here on the boards answerings questions.

The cool thing is that once you have rooted your Aria and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, you can make a Nandroid back-up which will save your current setup along with all of your settings so that you can freely install these ROMs knowing that you can always safely return to your back-up if you don't like it. It's very... liberating! ;)

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...pacitive-touch-huawei-s7-variant-arrives.html

This page has two videos. The first one is (imho) a very well produced marketing video. Now, if you watch closely the first video, you will see Gingerbread bits (Gmail for example). Also, the screen shots do not look rendered to me at all but mapped onto the video; although if they are real, the guy who edited this first video is reeeeally good.

However, I do not see *proof* on that animated video of such tablet being capacitive at all, and the device looks just like an S7.

-----

Now, the second video (in russian) is another story: It

does

show an actual device -and quite functional for that matter- and it is definitely not an S7 but quite, quite similar. Look at how curved it is (personally I like my white S7 than this) and does seem capacitive [99% sure, unless the guy has a super-strong finger and the screen is covered in invisible butter :D].

I'm in love with my white S7 -except being resistive, 2MP camera and not having the T-mobile band (I'll let that one pass and get a prepaid AT&T)-, and I'm impressed with the build quality. So the question comes.... wait for that new one? Keep mine and ebay it? return it?

This is the S7 forum but this is relevant to most of us I would say. If Mod thinks should be in general Android discussion, please move.

Decisions, decisions.

EDIT: On video 2 the new device does have multitouch but has the same "oops, I inverted the axis" problem the Nexus One has.
