[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draciel882:
Anyone else? I would still like to know where the moisture detection strips are and if anyone else can help me. Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincentdh:
The moisture detection strips are located on the battery near the connectors and on the phone next to the battery connectors... I went swimming with my HTC desire last summer, it was fully submerged for at least 30 seconds (phone was on).. left it to dry for 5 days in dry rice, and 6 months on it still works, do defenitely try drying it further.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
There is a third one too.

The OP says that he got the upper part submerged, so there is a chance that none of the stickers got red.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draciel882:
That is excellent news. Thanks everyone.

I just upgraded to Titanium Backup Pro and after exiting the program my Browser pops up with this page advertising HotMusic for the Android with a sexy female photo. I exit the browser, and immediately my phone starts downloading the above app. I then get the message that HotMusic application was stopped from loading as it wasn’t from the Android Market. I checked ASTRO File Manager and under downloads I find aMusic201011_3.apk sitting there (with the female thumbnail photo), so I delete it, and run a Lookout malware scan. I’ve searched online as well as on the boards and don’t find any mention of this application or the site. My questions are, is this malware, and has any one else had this problem? Also, if I update to a different ROM will I still have the protection of some unwanted software being able to sideload onto my phone.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I don't have Titanium Pro, but are there ads in it? Possible you clicked one?

In my experience with computers (ie: people using IE calling me to fix their malware), these sort of things often intentionally don't manifest themselves until a bit after their initial infestation.. My guess is so it's harder to determine where they came from.

What other programs have you installed recently? Honestly I still am not that quick to believe that there is malware going on, rather some accidental click or selection, but..
[Android Apps and Games] tahoeflyer:
I'm surprised as well, but have come across hijacked respectable websites in the past, so I feel anything is possible. I did not have the browser open when the event took place, nor was it running in the background. I find it hard to believe that the developers of the Titanium package intentionally placed this package on it.

Is this possibly a new malware package or vulnerability exploit of the Android system (or am I just the lucky one)?
[Android Apps and Games] strazzere:
Do you still have the "aMusic201011_3.apk" which was downloaded? Might make to easier to figure out :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
Joel doesn't include ads in his app. It's all ad-free and purely run off donations, which I'm sure he receives a lot of.

But I agree with you that OP probably mis-tapped something and thats what caused all this.
[Android Apps and Games] tahoeflyer:
Thanks, maybe it was a faulty thumb

Thank you for your responses. It's possible that my thumb hit an ad, it happened very quickly after paying for the pro/premium version. My first inclination was to stop the browser, and then delete the program, so unfortunately I did not keep a copy.

There has not been any further problems with the phone, so consider this post finished. Thanks

I'm no Android or Linux expert or even Above Beginner really so would appreciate any info available.

Is it usual to base newer FW on older Kernels. Someone also says Android 1.6 was based on 2.6.29???

It shouldn't really make any difference in this case. It's definitely not a 'fake' Froyo as that person is calling it.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorstenhirsch:
When comparing Archos' kernel (it's included in their GPL package) with Android's kernel 2.6.29, there are a lot of differences, about 1000 files changed. I guess they've added some omap patches (I'm not allowed to post external links, yet, so let me describe the git repository: git (dot) kernel (dot) org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git) or even use the omap kernel, because Archos' kernel suffix is also "-omap1".

Good to see that the omap guys are up-to-date with their kernel. So... let's try to make it work on our Archos devices! :)
[Legend General] aiz4andy:
Hi there, just a quick question about phone memory.

I have a rooted Legend running a baked Rom with Apps2SD, but I am hovering around 20mb of free space on my phone, even though I have deleted most of my apps and moved others to SD.

I have had a look around the root folder, but is there something else I should be deleting to free up space?
[Legend General] chinmoykanjilal:
My best guess is you did not wipe and install the custom ROM. You installed it over the earlier ROM which is occupying space.

[Wildfire General] LogicXLz':
Anyone experiencing problem when writing a SMS message (text message) on stock ROM 2.1?

The thing is, that almost every time I'm writing a message, BACKSPACE-delete button and optical cursor stop working!

So I have to go "back", (you know, the order you give when done tying, just before sending the message...) and "tap" the text window again to get back to the message body, then everything works. And sometimes this happens several times before I'm done with writing and send the message.

Any ideas on what would solve the problem? Atleast notify me, if you're experiencing the same problem, so I'll know it's not just my phone... :confused:

PLEASE LET US KNOW WETHER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SOME OTHER ROM WOULD SOLVE. Does this problem continue after flashing the phone with some other ROM than the stock one?
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Yeah I have that also, indeed incredible annoying :)

I haven't found a way to fix it, I just start using an other SMS app like ChompSMS or Handcent SMS. Those don't have that bug.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atlas.rouge:
I agree with everyone who has said this so far.

Evervolv and OMGB are actually pretty good ROMs right now; the *only* thing I'd complain about is that they get really, really hot during NORMAL usage (20 minutes of Internet browsing will jack your internal temperature up past 100 degrees). But, they're very fast and, oddly (given the heat issue), pretty good on battery life. Only real issues are GPS & camera but those will get hammered out probably before New Year's, if not soon after.

And of course, whenever the N1 gets the 2.3 OTA update, everyone will be in the Gingerbread business. So I'd just sit back, relax, and try some of the current GB ROMs, if only to prepare yourself for the awesomeness that will be the polished products of 2010/2011. XD

[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
What Dell Inc. has done with many of its customers recently has been unpractical. This is very professional as a company. This matter can be taken to court and be dealt with through legal actions.

If you have/had a recent issue or a complaint about Dell regarding the Dell Venue Pro, I highly encourage you to file a complaint to the FTC for legal actions to take place.

This pertains to orders that are:

1)	Not received on estimated date

2)	Delayed more than a month of the order date

3)	False advertisement of delivery dates

4)	Not shipped in the priority based on ordered date (Others who've ordered days/weeks after, has already received their units)

5)	Downgraded shipping methods (FedEx Ground) despite official updates from Dell.com stating “Next-day delivery”

6)	Items not received with orders (Plantronics Explorer 240 Bluetooth)

Please report Dell’s recent actions of customers to the FTC at:

https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

The process is very quick and easy. Click on the link and you're ready to go. There is a section to choose "bad practices in shipping". Follow the simple instructions. You'll be done fairly quickly.

This is ridiculous of a company. All of us should have not had to deal with this issue in this way.

Please report dell.

[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
I am as pissed off as anyone but seriously legal action? Dell prevents legal action by simply adding "estimated" to the delivery status. Also they only put a temp hold on your account so they don't even take the money until it ships. I think what Dell has done is screwed up, but estimated delivery is simply estimated and never guaranteed. My revenge is to take my money elsewhere in the future.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
'Legal" as to the poor practices in which and how they are shipping and handling customer's orders and shipments.

For example, some people who ordered and paid with FedEx Overnight are being downgraded to FedEx Ground without notification.

Read here: http://en.community.dell.com/dell-b...the-topic-of-dell-venue-pro-order-delays.aspx
[Venue Pro General] djca:
I agree. If one's not happy with Dell, don't give them any business. Dell is not forcing anybody to buy their products. If one's not happy with a Dell product, return it and ask for a refund. If one's not satisfied with Dell's shipping practices, complain to Dell and ask for a refund.

It's been known for almost a month now that Dell has been having serious problems with delivering working Venue Pro units, but obviously many still wanted to get the Venue Pro. I ordered one when the order page became available on 11/18. It was canceled on 11/22. Four days later, I got myself a Samsung Focus.

IMHO, let the FTC deal with other truly fraudulent businesses.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
All this fuss over a device that people will replace in the next year. Wonder what would happen if it was something really important at stake. At this point, disatisfied customers should be cancelling their orders, that is the surest way to make yourself heard.
[Venue Pro General] Tempest790:
I'm at a lost why the rush out the door. :confused: Some manufacturers ship items that are defective and just tell customers to deal with it. If I bought this phone from Dell and it had a multitude of problems I'd be far more upset than if they told me I'd have wait a month and receive a working product.
[Venue Pro General] hvbelton:
Figures this would be from someone in calif., Bay Area no less.

What would one expect by this action?

I installed Visionary and everything was working perfect... But I made the stupid mistake to press Permroot and my G2 shut down and never bootup to Andrid OS..

I only see the HTC green logo .. I tried everything on recovery mode.. but I only get the HTC logo and the phone dont go anywere..

I tried to install the original G2 stock ROM but then the update fail saying Im trying to flash a older update. The room in the phone is newer than the update Im trying to install..,

Someone knows were I can find a Custom room that works in my Tmobile G2 USA...?

I need to install the room in recovery mode...ONLY .. because my phone do not boot-up.... So the ADB is disabled and the phone do not work... I only have access to recovery mode...

PLUS the phone is NOT rooted...

And Please dont tell me to do factory Reset.. because I did all that..If Im here is because I have tried everything and I dont get this phone to work.

Is there a room or a custom room somewhere that can be installed in my G2 by Recovery mode..?

If there is ,, can someone give me the link...?

I was reading that you can connect the phone to the Computer to fix it..

How do I do that ? What program do I need to run it ? But I dont like that option,,,, is to complicated..

Is there a way to fix the phone using the SD card on Recovery mode ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
1) Just to clarify: VISIONary is a complete fail. Root using the rage method, then you can actually control what's happening to your device.

2) Did you ever flash clockwordmod recovery?

If you can boot into clockwork recovery you just need to flash another ROM.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Ok, this is a snip from the link in the second post, it sounds like your are stuck in a boot loop with s-on, if so then this part is the part you need to try:

"*if you have stock or eng-recovery installed.

will the phone attempt to boot android at all? where is it stuck at?

a good min after it starts to try to boot, type these commands:

adb remount

adb shell

if you can get in shell then theres still hope. back out shell for a second and start here:

put the cwm recovery.img and wpthis.ko in your sdk folder

adb remount

adb push wpthis.ko /data/local/wpthis.ko (specific for your kernel)

adb push recovery.img /data/local/recovery.img

adb shell

# insmod /data/local/wpthis.ko (should get same function not implemented error as when u rooted first time)

# dd if=/data/local/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (now wait a min or 2 to give it time to finish)

#sync (give it another min or to just to be safe)

#reboot recovery

at this point you should be in cwm recovery. follow instructions above for flashing with s-on."

So now you are gonna have to install Andriod SDK to your computer and the drivers for the G2, there is gonna be a lot of reading and some downloading on your part to do this. Next your gonna have to download cwm recovery.img and wpthis.ko in your sdk folder and then follow the instructions above to recover your phone. Unfortunatly there is no one click fix. Its gonna take a lot of reading and understanding to do this on your part. Gonna have to learn to use ADB there a guide for that and run some basic command promts. Im no Dev or anything but I taught myself by doing a lot of reading, watching videos and a lot of searching. Hope you find the will to do it and recover you phone. Plus we are here to help walk you through some of it but your also gonna have to do some leg work to. GOOD LUCK.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
I don't think the OP knows what adb is... you gotta do some more reading get over your fear of using your computer to fix your phone. Its really nothing to be afraid of and its not at all complicated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilnotdie:
I'm gonna assume he knows what ADB is and if that's the case, your only option is using one of the full updates...from tmobile. It would have to be a new version of course, for your recovery to allow it. Trying reading through thr RUU threads, perhaps something or someone there can help.

Goodluck, and sry.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
USB debugging does need to be enabled. I know this because I always forget that step when I'm trying to use ADB on a new Android device.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
WATER DAMAGE! Haha I don't think warranty covers that :)

I just read somewhere that in order for VISIONary to perm root you need to have S-OFF. OP made a boo boo by attempting to perm root with S-OFF.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
actually all the older guides (including the one I used to root my phone) said you ran perma root first then do s-off.

the perma root method in visionary was made before we even had s-off (only like a day before, but still before).

It sounds to me like your having the same problem that some people have been having with the rage method, only because you have s-on still your stuffed.

Basically for some reason newer phones seem to be getting a corrupt rom when perma rooting by any method. If you had s-off you could manually flash a recovery then a new rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The OP here used Visionary, not rage. Not sure which problem with rage you're referring to, because I've never seen anyone stuck in a boot loop just because they did rage.

His phone also seems to have been messed with before he got it, e.g. it's a G2 but running the DZ radio (which is fine, but implies someone has been doing things to it).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
2 people last week on the same day got partial bricks by using rage, I had to talk both of them through flashing a recovery manually in order to install a non corrupt rom.

I have a feeling the perma root process is corrupting roms on newer devices, not sure on the why though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
You said this the other day, but I asked you for links and I don't think you replied (but maybe I missed that).

Are you sure they didn't use Visionary first ? That's usually what corrupts the ROM. Because rage is very very simple, it's not like Visionary which does complicated stuff. I really don't see how rage on its own can corrupt a ROM.

If you have any links to threads where people have not used Visionary, only rage, and have corrupted the ROM, then I'd be very interested.
