I mean, Turn off completely, then do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabloammar:
Done. Didn't work. :(

Oh oh.. One more thing. The power button does NOT turn the phone off! It just restarts it! [so I have to pull the battery out if I wanna turn the phone off]
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenrek:
Up or down volume button? I always press the combination of buttons before the phone starts and wait till I see the download/recovery screen.

Power + up + home => Recovery.

Power + down + home => download.

By the way, this thread is in the wrong forum.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkyG82:
If you want to reflash a clean install but having problems getting to recovery or download, try the homemade jig. I used it when I thought my phone was dead and it worked fine.

Basically, once you have the jig, power off the phone (battery pull in ur case) and insert the jig in the socket. After 2-3 secs it should boot to download. Then you are free to flash with odin. At this stage I recommend repartition etc to ensure a fully clean install.

Enjoy :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vocko:
Try this workaround, it worked for me:

First, root it with z4root, just download it from the market. Then install Clockworkmod from market. From that program flash clockworkmod recovery. Now you can enter recovery from menu in Rom Manager. Once in recovery, there's an option somewhere to go into download mode - and you can flash whatever you want from there :)

[Epic 4G General] shakewell:
guys updated to epic experience but i am unable to conncet to 4g anywhere. while my brohters evo just works fine connecting :S

any ideas what the reason could be
[Epic 4G General] lifeofbean:
For what it's worth, both my original Epic and my current one (first one died 3 days into owning it) have crappy 4g reception even when a friend's Evo can get a strong signal.

I think it's something with the Epic's antenna design, but it's not Epic Experience causing it.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
My wife's milestone (euro-Droid) has a nice stock car launcher UI. So far I couldn't find an equally nice one for the Tab. Any suggestions?

Btw, a hint for anyone who has a 2006(or thereabout) Toyota Corolla Verso: If you lift the lid of the compartment on top of the center console (the one with the spring loaded hinge) up slightly, the Tab will fit perfectly between the groove at the bottom and the lip on the lid. It really clicks into place, almost like that compartment was built to hold it at just the right angle to be used as a SatNav. I'll snap a few pictures next time.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] koolmoedee1000:
Nice pick up on the compartment I love it when things just work. I've been looking through market for a good dock app nothing great so far
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] SolusCado:
Yeah; let's see some photos!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Rapax:
Ok, as promised: pics!

Sorry for the quality, these were taken in the parking lot, with bad light, using my old G1.

In the second frame, you can see the groove in the bottom of the compartment. The Tab really clicks into that. There's a corresponding ridge in the lid, which together hold the Tab perfectly firmly. It's really a surprisingly good fit.

Fourth frame is from drivers POV.

Maybe I'll post this in the accessoires subforum too. Though I doubt many readers will be looking to buy a car as an accessoire to their Tab...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] SolusCado:
:) It's the ULTIMATE accessory!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] pyrusman:
The Samsung home dock and car dock apps are available on the market, though for some reason I could not see them with the tab. However, I used a back up app on my galaxy s phone, and simply copied them to the Tab. Once I installed them, they worked fine. The car dock icons are not centered, but still works well.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] whoisariston:
The Vlingo app works amazingly well as a Car launcher interface. It allows you to speak your commands such as "Navigate to Starbucks" or "Text Jennifer Message Hi there!" It can also be set to read incoming messages as well. Attached is a screenshot from the interface on my Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] unomasdos:

[G2 and Desire Z General] orouborus:
hi all,

i have been using my z for about a month now and i am now officially unhappy with it. the z hinge is not really an issue, i like the way it easily opens and closes without any snapping movement or stress in the mechanism. my concerns would be when i open it and use the keyboard, my phone squeaks a lot. i think the battery cover is the culprit. now my latest problem is that there are a lot of dust particles accumulating under the screen. i had 5 htc phones and this never happened before. it happened with my nokia's and se's, but never with my htc. so im disappointed with it. :( im very oc when it comes to my phone and i make sure that i clean my pockets from dust and lint to ensure its clean and dust free.

feel free to share your opinions.

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] adrienspawn:
Use a screen protector to stop the dust. If you think the back cover is bad you can buy a new one, or remove it and use a slim case.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I think if you that unsatisfied with the quality you should have returned it for a new a long time ago. Let me assure you that none of the bad points you mentioned has plagued my G2. I recommend you call customer service and huff and puff until they exchange it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] orouborus:
i am using a protector and the dust is under the screen. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] orouborus:
i dont think they will do that. i actually chose this because this is the best and had it replaced already. no dead [ixels etc just dust getting under the screen
[G2 and Desire Z General] Durkbeef:
If you think the squeek is coming from the battery cover try putting on a hardcover and see if that helps? Also, I completely understnad how the squeekeness would be annoying.. I returned a Cliq because of it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] userfriendlyme:
Customer care should replace the phone if u have build quality issues. I would def give them a call. I had issues with my prior phone the cliq which was replaced 5 times by calling as well as tweeting tmobile my issue. I had my G2 replaced twice due to the build quality issues. Should be no reason they wouldn't the phone still carries a warranty.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AbsolutZeroGI:
+1

I had my cliq replaced 3 times (it just wouldn't get reception).

If you do have problems with the build quality, then have it replaced. What you're experiencing is not normal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] the orange bandit:
Absolutely, if you're within 1 year, call them up and have them replace it under warranty. I am also not having any of those issues, so it might just be your specific unit. There's absolutely no reason to keep a phone that sucks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] orouborus:
thanks for the support. :D i dont think that htc will really do anything about it where i stay. but might as well give it a try. :D i checked again last night if it was just me, but there are MORE dusts now than before. tsk tsk
[G2 and Desire Z General] bongd:
I haven't seen this with any mobile other than one that had a manufacturing defect. I certainly haven't seen this with any HTC devices either (and I'm no fanboy, this is my first HTC device).

Contact the OEM or your wireless provider. I've never used any protection for any of my mobile phones in the past decade and haven't had so much as a spec of dust under my screen. I had a single spec of dust in my PSP though and it drove me insane (it was shipped with the dust but I didn't have a receipt). Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] orouborus:
thanks all!

i will be visiting their customer care sometime this week. have to absent myself due to work though. :D hope they can sort it out before the year ends. holidays are creeping and they are closed during this period as well. :p

>update

just sent it to the service center, they will be replacing the entire screen with the panel. the technician said it was like someone placed their finger under the screen. hopefully everything will be ok and no mishaps when i get it back on the 29th. another screen protector down the drain. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Under settings location and security it says device administration then select administrator and it said none...

What is this about and what does it do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
its a 2.2 feature for apps that need administrative rights on your device.

for example some companies exchange email system requires a pin code to be put in to unlock the device, this allows them to force a pin code as well as wipe the phone remotely should the need arise.

this feature is mostly for company phones, or for people that check their company email on their phones.

usually a larger company will have you sign something before giving you the right to access your work exchange email, this usually states in the fine print that they will wipe your phone upon termination, and device administration is how this is accomplished.

for more info look here to see what Google themselves say about the feature.

[Nexus S General] WilliamStern:
Any of you able to do a backup within Rom Manager? For some reason I can't.
[Nexus S General] Michael.B.:
Short answer, yes.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Had to flash it twice to get it to reboot into recovery. Like the orange.
[Nexus S General] WilliamStern:
Hmm... odd.

Ill try to do a backup, it'll look like its about to start, than the screen goes black, and the phone just rebooted its self. I wonder what it could be?

I left my bootloader unlocked. Think that may have something to do with it?
[Nexus S General] Michael.B.:
Mine is also still unlocked.
[Nexus S General] WilliamStern:
I fixed it. I removed the app, than reinstalled. Worked fine, and I was able to do my backup.
[Nexus S General] krumb:
flashed from clockwork rom mgr...twice...and each time, when I try to boot into recovery, it hangs on google screen. flashed back to previous version.

thoughts?

is there a link to download the 3.0 version directly? or a fix for this problem? i love clockwork and greatly appreciate the work, but i've always had problems flashing recoveries directly from the app. i always have to utilize fastboot.

anyways, someone have a dl link for 3.0.0...?
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
Here you go http://db.tt/yeA1sug
[Nexus S General] krumb:

edit: worked fine using fastboot.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
No, that would be absolutely horrible. Sense (and the other skins) are a plague on the Android community, and hopefully Honeycomb eliminates all need for them.
[Nexus S General] jtn7040:
When I try to do a backup it rebooted into the recovery but then it says that it can't mount the SD? Any ideas? (Installed through rom manager premium)

[Nook Color General] Eienkei:
Hey guys,

I want to buy a cheap tablet! I was wondering if NC can act like a tablet after rooting...

Here's what I need it to do:

1. Read PDFs without lag (using 3rd party apps).

2. Watch average quality AVI files smoothly using RockPlayer.

3. Decent web browsing experience.

4. Running basic games like Angry Birds without lag.

5. Using it as a portable device, carrying it all time (weight & size aspect).

Also would you tell me which screen protector is good to get? Clear one or Anti-Glare?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] ricoishere2:
1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes

5. Yes

The NC has a glass screen so a screen protector is not necessary... unless you drop it on the edge of a rock. If that's the case, you'll probably have bigger problems than a scratch. Get some glass cleaner for all the finger prints the NC will accumulate.
[Nook Color General] sidepart:
Really? It doesn't have any of that coating on it that resists finger printing (like the EVO)? I was starting to think that was standard.
[Nook Color General] themirthfulswami:
I have the BN brand screen protector on mine mostly because I'm paranoid, but I do like the fact that it has a slight texture to it that feels like paper. It does reduce glare quite a bit as well, I could easily see my face reflected on the screen before I put the protector on and it's not nearly as noticable now.

On the subject of a cheap tablet, I would say the NC is great. I got mine primarily to use as an e-reader, but after the easy root procedure I now have a LOT of additional functionality that make it an amazing device. I've been playing Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja on it, both run beautifully. I've got a bigger SD card on order so I can start storing some movies and TV on it as well. For $249 you can't go wrong here.
[Nook Color General] ricoishere2:
I wasn't aware of any coating on the HTC Evo. My evo gets pretty good fingerprints on it every day, and I try to wipe the glass once a week. Not much of a big deal, just the price of dealing with glass I guess. Once the lcd comes on, you can't see the prints anyway. The amount of finger prints on my Evo and my nook color seem to be the same.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
1) Haven't tried a PDF on it yet

2) Haven't tried a locally stored AVI yet

3) Its an awesome web browsing experience, assuming you dont use the stock browser. Dolphin, Firefox.. both work amazing, and the screen is just beautiful for calrity and reading web pages

4) Surprisingly, Angry birds isn't that basic, and can make use of a good GPU. Thankfully, i can happily say that the nook runs AB great, as it does other 3D games (Asphalt 5).

5) Just be careful with the screen (yes its glass, but glass can break too, especially with no cover), and yes, it could easily be portable. Gaming all day will probably kill your battery by days end, but things like web browsing and such should be no problem all day.
[Nook Color General] mrwed:
I'm looking at this device as well. Can anyone report on:

1) YouTube app--is it working smoothly? (Under android 2.2, I mean)

2) Skyfire browser (specifically watching flash videos, on engadget for example; the videos they produce don't run well with the flash plug-in on my nexus one)

I imagine they'll work smoothly, but would love to hear about someone's first-hand experience. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] leeh41:
Root is necessary, but you already knew this.

1. Yes, I just use Adobe PDF Reader. Works great.

2. Maybe, Have not tested on NC, but Rockplayer works great on my Evo.

3. Yes, I'm using Dolphin mini

4. Yes, Angry Birds runs great

5. Yes, very portable. I would recommend a small case or sleeve.

1) YouTube app-Yes, no problems here, but I have read reports of others with issues. Follow Nookdev's walk-through word for word, and you should have no problems.

2) Skyfire browser - Have not tested, but I'll give it a shot and update later.

The NC is a great product if you plan to root. As an ereader, not so great. B&N have made a great device and their Library/Store app are great, but if you really want to read books, nothing beats e-ink. As a rooted device, its hard to pass up this cheap Android tablet.

I wasnt a fan of the screen without a screen protector. LOTS of smudges and my finger tends to stick to the screen when trying to drag. I just picked up the anti glare screen protector. That should solve the stickt/tackiness. I had both gloss and anti-glare on my Evo. AG has better tactile feedback, but the gloss looks better.
[Nook Color General] mrwed:
Thanks leeh41. Any results w/ skyfire yet? If skyfire videos work smoothly this would be a very nice tablet for surfing.
[Nook Color General] leeh41:
Sorry not yet. Was busy playing with adding magazines and books to my home screen last night. It would not play flash videos on some sites when using Dolphin or the stock Browser.

I just finally got sick of waiting for an official Froyo(Bell isn't about to give me an upgrade anyhow.) So I went to a froyo rom that was based on one of the stock roms. But I figured since I'm rooted anyhow why not play around, and grabbed cyanogen 6.1 and installed it. Then I end up with the issue of its not connecting to my wifi, I have no issues on the stock 2.2 roms. One thing I have noticed is the cyanogen shows the network as wep, but it's actually wpa encrypted. I flashed into it from the stock without clearing it first and it worked until I shut off and came back to it. Any ideas on what might be the issue. I'm fairly new but I did look and couldn't find anything to fix this.
[Legend Android Development] fatthumb:
I assume you flashed 6.1 stable version? I have no issue whatsoever on my device (and I also used official froyo previously). Did you wipe all before flashing 6.1?
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
He said he "flashed without cleaning"...so I presume no wipe. This could be the problem, a wipe is strongly adviced if going to CM from a non CM ROM. Also check the number of WiFi channels set by default in advanced settings of wifi. It is set for 11 and if the router is set to 13 or 14 it could not work
[Legend Android Development] ricky007:
I had the same problem when i was installing CM6.1. (with wipe)

The phone could just se a wep version of my network and not the wpa that i have. But after i turned on and off the wifi a couple of times i suddenly saw the wpa version of my network and after i connected to that the problem was solved. I also did click "forget network" on the wep version.

Hope this will help you
[Legend Android Development] frentraken:
Trying this now but no go. Sometimes will flash it as wpa and then jump back to wep. This is after a full wipe. What I was trying to say was once I flashed in without wiping and it worked for a bit but jumped right back to not working, after the phone going to sleep.
[Legend Android Development] frentraken:
Bump.

Any insight into this issue? Still only reading my network as wep. :confused:
[Legend Android Development] kugel.:
Try installing "WiFi Advanced Configration Editor" from the market. You should be able to change to WPA manually with it.

Did you try to reset your wifi router?sometimes the issues came up from wifi router, not the phone itself.

Mine is fine. I share my broadband wifi to my phone using connectify.

The only problem remains is wifi disconnect frequently, but I heard that it's due to a new kernel which I use (.32 kernel)

hope it helps :)
[Legend Android Development] frentraken:
Ya reset the router a few times, and it still came up like that. I did install the wifi advance config software mentioned it seemed to fix it. I didn't actually set anything up on it and it seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

Any Ideas?
