Hi Eveyone!

Glad to be part of the community. I have had an issue with the recent update from Vodafone of Froyo 2.2.1. Everytime I try to install it my phone turns off (as it should) then starts back up but only to the vodafone start screen. It never goes any further! :( I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the manual install files for the 32B Htc Magic on Vodafone. I believe certain things are missing, including Live wallpapers, flash, wifi hotspot and some others. I really am stuck and any help would be much appreciated. :)

Thanks you all in advance

[Adam General] polakowt:
great article. thanks for the link. ALMOST time for that video to pop up
[Adam General] MCreane:
Can't wait! It's 4:44am in Mumbai right now, and AP just published that article a couple of minutes ago, so either he sent it last night and they held it (I think unlikely), or he's up early for a long day. I'm probably reading too much into this.
[Adam General] smedley.jason:
No I believe he is up. Also I am worried about the matte protector that is coming with it.
[Adam General] MCreane:
I saw that too but I think that he meant a matte protector to go on top of the matted glass. It would kill the point of the anti glare matte glass if people put a zagg incredi-shield onto it. I'm hoping that's what he meant anyway. I saw a few photos of the final glass samples that they posted and they are definitely matte. we'll see I suppose. Longest day since the Nexus One came out!

Edit: My girlfriend has a matte protector for her iPhone and it makes an amazing difference to both feel and visibility. If it is similar to that I'm all for it! It sounds like he wants Adam to stay with the box, as it sounds like it functions as a stand.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chris...:
I have a problem when selecting contacts from some applications

Now when I use some apps like maps or a simple app I made that requires me to select a contact it force closes

I have deleted the standard contacts app and replaced it with phonebook, which might be the problem

Is their any way to get it back?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nozerogravity:
A assume, that you run on 2.1.

In attached .7z: both contacts, and provider.

Push them to your /system/app and change permissions, to:

After doing that just restart your mini.

Thanks, it works but now all the details of my contacts dont match the name in the list and seem to be in a random order

Try to delete all contacts (first do a bakup ofc), and load them again. May work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murqooo:
Hi, first im sorry if this has been already resolved somewhere but, after 3 hours of googling I just gave up.

I have a HTC Hero, rooted. Now I want to try out Android 2.2, so i installed the ROM Manager app, and flashed the Clockworks recovery 2.5.0.1 . After I flashed it i made a nandroid backup just to be safe, and tried to boot intro recovery if it will work. And there a problem rose.

All i got was a picture of a phone and a red triangle with a "!".

So i googled and fount out that I have to press power + Vol Down(or UP)

There was an error : "E: Can't open /cache /recovery/command"

I have no idea what that means, so I flashed again, rebooted to recovery (via home+power) and I entered clockworks.

But this didnt work after one reboot. It always worked only one reboot and then the "E: Can't open /cache /recovery/command" came up.

My question is, what does it mean? How can I fix it?

I really dont want to flash a new ROM without having a stable way of recovery.

Sory guys, found a solution after all

ADATA 16 Gig card, class 6, 29.99 free shipping @ newegg.com. 72 hr sale with a little over 2 more days to go. I don't know the quality of these cards but for 30 bucks, I figure I'd give it a shot.

I purchased a 16 Gig Transcend a while back and had improved performance over the stock card immediately, especially with load time of music files. Took about 10 secs. with the stock card and now is loading in under 4 seconds. And yes, I've already done all the tweaks for improved load time on the stock card with no improvement. The stock card is crap, so any other card would be an improvement but I can only vouch for the Transcend but will post results with the ADATA when I get it.
[HD2 Accessories] salonluden:
dude can u post results of how good the card is?

Thanks man
[HD2 Accessories] ronzogonzo:
Unfortunately I just got to it today. I'm sure the sale is over but for the record, the response time is much better than the stock sd. Load time for Sense music player is 3 seconds as opposed to the 11 seconds of the stock sd. As I stated in the OP, the Transcend sd is pretty good also and I would say ithey are both decent cards and are an improvement over the stock sd card. So if you can find either at a decent price, I'd say it's worth it. I plan on keeping one as a backup and one to install Android on. ;)
[HD2 Accessories] pokerfreakje:

[Captivate General] ThorGR:
This post got lost in a locked thread, figured I would repost it.

It's a real big band-aid, but it works fine for the car and is easier than rolling the dice and getting a new phone.

I spent 20 bucks and got a tom tom bluetooth GPS receiver, combined with a free up on the market called "Bluetooth GPS Provider" and I get 1M accuracy in Maps/Nav. Since I primarily only use the GPS in the car, it's not that big of a deal to leave an accessory in there.

If you need good in car nav, and are tired of waiting for a fix, something like this is the way to go. Tested for over 400 miles of driving, never lost a fix or lost track.

[Captivate General] AWiseMonkey:
Thats what Samsung should do to resolve the issue, they need to release the Galaxy S GPS Repair Kit. It comes with one of these GPS Receivers and a piece of double-sided sticky tape...EPIC!
[Captivate General] ThorGR:
Yeah, it's kludgy, but it works great for the car. Only thing that really sucks is that the tomtom doesn't charge from USB, means having to carry another charger too. Oh well, battery last a good long time at least.
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Holy markdown batman! $149.99 marked down to $18.99? How could that thing ever be worth $150?!

That's actually kinda tempting.
[Captivate General] Donatron:
That receiver is old school. It's from the pre-smartphone days when everybody rocked iPAQs. The $150 MSRP was normal back then.
[Captivate General] ThorGR:
It's still a sirf-star and better than what's working on the captivate right now! :D
[Captivate General] Donatron:
I decided to go the same route as you. Although, I wish I did earlier because that TomTom receiver is longer available for $20 on Amazon. :( I ended up getting a Globalsat BT-359 for $40.95 instead.

I have to say, while not the ideal solution, it's by far the best one yet. GPS now works perfectly. Fast locks, pinpoint accuracy, no lag, and never loses its lock. It basically works how you expect a GPS to work. While it does suck that I had to spend extra money on the receiver, and that I now have the extra steps of connecting/disconnecting the receiver whenever I need to use it, it's a small price to pay to eliminate the frustration induced when using the poor excuse of a built-in GPS.

I don't know about you guys, but I always had a bit of anxiety when using the built-in GPS. Cuz at every point, I was worrying about something. At the beginning, I'd worry about how long it'd take to obtain a lock. Then once I get the lock, I worry about how accurate it will be, how long I'll keep that lock, and whether or not the GPS will lag behind. It felt like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders when I was able to drive without having to worry about how the GPS was going to behave.

Although, this still doesn't change my attitude towards Samsung Mobile (I specify Mobile because I've had no issues with their TVs). As soon as AT&T releases a high-end Android phone that doesn't have a deal breaking issue, I'm buying it outright and selling my Captivate on craigslist.

[Captivate General] justinselig:
This is a great idea. Also, if anybody has an older android phone with working gps that they no longer use, the same outcome can be achieved with a couple simple apps. I'm using my lg eve to send the gps signal to my captivate via bluetooth and it works flawlessly.
[Captivate General] TheNaturat:
GPS on Captivate is already fixed, it works great on latest versions of Axura/Phoenix, but for 20 bucks it's good purchase anyway :)

Too bad that shipping to Europe costs more than reciever itself.
[Captivate General] Donatron:
Froyo. I'm currently running Cog 2.3b8.
[Captivate General] Donatron:
I haven't tried Phoenix yet, just Axura before it died. When you say "fixed", do you mean significantly improved, or legitimately fixed. Like if you were to do a head-to-head comparison with a Captivate paired with a bluetooth GPS receiver, would you be able to tell the difference? Cuz with the receiver, it's pretty much perfect performance.
[Captivate General] joedoe:
I tried to attach a MTK v2 based i-Blue 737A+ Bluetooth GPS Receiver to Eclair, but it says

paired but not connected. However it works great with Galaxy Pad with less then 1 meter accuracy
[Captivate General] ThorGR:
There seem to be some limitations on the bluetooth. Im able to use any 2 of the gps, my bt headset or my bt obdii scanner, but all three at once and one of em wont work.
[Captivate General] TheNaturat:
It's fully working, reliable GPS device. I don't have Bluetooth reciever, but in comparision to my dedicated Garmin navigation based on legendary SiRFstar III chipset there is no real diffrence, maybe it takes few seconds more to lock, but it's diffrence between like 5 and 10 seconds, so rather negligible in real use.
[Captivate General] Donatron:
Lock time doesn't make a difference for me as long as it's not unreasonable. I just flashed Phoenix 1.0, so I'll test it out when I get a chance. All I care about is accuracy and consistency. It should be able to pinpoint my exact location (within a few feet), and follow every turn, stop, and acceleration/deceleration in real-time.
[Captivate General] Donatron:
So I spent the weekend testing out the "fixed" GPS with Phoenix. It definitely isn't fixed. It still has the same issues that we've all grown to loathe. So I'm sticking to my bluetooth receiver until I buy myself a new phone with a working GPS.

Btw, the official Samsung car mount (I got mine from Newegg) is really nice. I bought one before going up to the mountains this past weekend; and when used along with the bluetooth receiver, it was as if I were using a standalone GPS device to navigate me.
[Captivate General] gormander:
oops, nevermind. Didnt read ALLthe threads. Ignore this post.
[Captivate General] ThorGR:
So I had a need to test the update rate of my bluetooth GPS and it seems locked at 1hz. Anybody get a different dongle that updates faster?

Hi,

I'm pretty new to all this and searched the forums quite a bit, I've rooted my device with unrevoked 3.22 but how do I tell it is really rooted? Connected to ADB I can't do "adb shell cat /proc/cmdline" while the system ist booted. It only works during recovery mode.

I received no error messages while doing the following procedure:

1) unrevoked TMO UK Branded

2) Flashed to WWE Stock Froyo

3) unrevoked Stock

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
You should be rooted.

Try an app from the market that requests root. Titanium or similar.

Or, see if yoy can get into the custom recovery. Vol down + power then choose recovery. You should have the clockwork panel or equivalent.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcfreis:
I think I understood the point:

a) I have access to the recovery image clockwork mod (did a nandroid backup), but

b) I have a htc stock image whicht is not rooted, so Titanium Backup gives me an error message. I have to get another rooted rom.

But is it possible to do the S-OFF AlphaRev mod first, before aving a rooted rom?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
If you've made a nand backup then you should be rooted.

Do you have the superuser app in your apps drawer?

Im not too sure about your second comment.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
You can not go s-off without root.

And yes your comments are contradicting.

You can't have a custom recovery or a nandroid if you have not rooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IVS IVRIS:
using unrevoked.. you should've an app called super user or something similar now. it's a nina / sniper like icon..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcfreis:
I have this ninja/sniper but I also get the message that Titanium Backup needs root but the permission is NOT granted!

I assume, that unrevoked worked and I have the clockwork recovery, but my rom is stock and not rooted. I will get a new rooted rom tomorrow, now its a little late to sort such a stuff out ...

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jroid:
So, when the nexus one first came out I was in LOVE with the lwp's it came with and that comes with the Nexus S. However, with this launch, they only made the nexus lwp worse but included the microbes lwp which is my new love. Problem is that it really lags the phone quite a bit so I was wondering if there would be a way to optimize performance on it?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jroid:
So only thing I could do was optimize the .apk itself (only down a few kb) which didn't do anything but when I archived the .apk I couldn't find any xml code for the app? I've noticed on the lwp that purple smog/fog moves. If there's a way to get the smog to stay still and just let the microbes move along with touch input I believe that will improve scrolling performance alot and won't use so many resources from system
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ztm.000:
