I bricked my phone twice. Att support center gave me a replacement each time. Just make sure you cant get to the vol up/down power screen completely screw it up

Why would you brick a working phone based on a driver issue ?!

That's like blowing your car engine cause you can't communicate with onboard electronics........ unreal
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vstarrydr05:
trying it now. those drivers take forever to install. fingers crossed
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vstarrydr05:
Ok, no question mark port. but accessing the port where it says unrecognized usb device I can change the driver from unknown to a samsung one. I do not have a Samsung ADB composite device. Closest I see in the android drivers loaded are SAMSUNG android composite device listed twice and Samsung Android USB Composite device lso listed twice and Samsung USB Compostive device v2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Try one one of those two. If the first one does not work (Odin still not seing the phone) try the v2. Adb composite is in recovery mode. forgot it said Usb.

Is your cable plugged into the MB? No usb hub used?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vstarrydr05:
Nope. straight in. Dont have enough devices to need a hub. Wierd that I cant find the adb driver in that folder after installation
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:

Edit: Do you have Kies or Kies Mini installed on that pc....... are they running ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vstarrydr05:
Well it wants to automatically set it up as a unknown device. What details you want?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vstarrydr05:
No, actually uninstalled them when I was uninstalling drivers

Phone: HTC magic not rooted.

Recently accepted the update for Android 2.2.1. Update successful to version 2.2.1.

I was informed that Android 2.2 had options for WiFi Hotspot tethering.

New USB tethering option now available after update but NO WiFi tethering option.

Please comment or advice me why there is no WiFi tethering option on 2.2.1 on HTC Magic.

Thanks in advance !!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] heathm:
HTC Magic (running Froyo 2.2.1) still not support WiFi tethering

Limitation of the hardware apparently. :(

I have checked on both NTT docomo HT-03A and Vodafone NZ versions of the hardware, running CyanogenMod 6.1.0

It's otherwise a great device... although a little underpowered compared to devices now available.

No, you can do Wifi tethering, just not with any stock ROM TMK. If your rooted, you can download Barnacle Wifi Tether from the market, it works like a charm.

so i was at the Borders bookstore yesterday connecting through wifi. I download a program from the Market that I believe was called Wifi Status. I installed it and then removed it. Then all of a sudden my wifi doesn't work anymore.

Do I just need to install this program again to get it working? The weird thing is, it shows that I am connected to my router at home now, but when I try to use the web to connect to wifi...it says I have no network connect. Please help!

[About XDA developers] sinean:
Since most dev's and cooks post the date of each new version of their rom etc in the dev forum is it possible to add a search for a certain date within a thread.

For example lets say there is a new version of a Rom out thats Dated *12/30/10*'

Instead of digging through the thread it would be nice to just have a date search box where you can find the 1st entry for 12/30/10 within the thread. There are some that have some insane amount of threads. It would save bandwidth and save members time.

:cool: Just a suggestion :cool:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasualnupe2:
I have a problem and was wondering if any can help me out. My hd2 is not getting past the loading screen. I have NRG rom and when I turn on the phone it gets to the NGR sign and stops. It just started doing this yesterday. I can get into the bootloader but when I tried to put a new rom on the device it just said it can not connect to the device. I don't know if my phone has brick or not because it turns on and I can get into bootloaders. Anyone with any answers.

Thank you

Hi

What is th version and name of the NRG rom. and did you HSPL and what radio version if you know

Russ
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
have you changed radio yet? regular hd2 ships with a ..51.. radio but nrg rom requires a ..50.. radio.

enter bootloader - confirm spl says x.xx.hspl and not x.xx.0000 - flash a radio.

a rom that requires a 50 radio wont get past loading screen with a 51 radio.

Quoted from Energy rom instructions

''

Q: After a reset my Phone hangs on white screen while loading.

A: This is caused by a non compatible Radio. Upgrade to a 2.xx.50.xx radio version, which also unlocks the 576MB RAM

''

If this is the correct answer, then shame on you for not reading the energy rom thread correctly before flashing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasualnupe2:
radio is 2.15.50.14. This is not my first time running NRG rom on my phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russpattaya:
OK What version are you using of NRG rom, is it the dinik, touch of glass, GTX.etc and what date did you down load? was it the last update 18dec? 29xxxx as there is a lot of problems with that versions. Infact they have been removed from the download link. I had to go back to my old version from the 13th Dec to get it back working.

So think it would be better if you flash the older version of what you are using until NRG gets the new versions fixed. (His laptop crapped out on him. As per the ROM links)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasualnupe2:
Yes, it was the touch of glass version and it was the last update 18dec. So, I tried to upload miri and dinik but it just read my computer wasn't sync to the computer. So, it maybe something wrong with the rom and my phone should be alright.

I have a weird one. I have a Kyros and I rooted 2.1, installed Clockworkmod, and have installed the google apps. I can connect to my home network and surk or do what ever I want without a problem. I go to work and connect and I get an IP and I am able to use Astro Filemanager wit the SMB module and get into a share on my PC, BUT, I am unable to get out to the internet. If I join my DROID1 to the same AP I am able to surf and do everything I want.

The Nexus S, like the Nexus One before it, is designed to allow enthusiasts to install custom operating systems. Allowing your own boot image on a pure Nexus S is as simple as running fastboot oem unlock. It should be no surprise that modifying the operating system can give you root access to your phone. Hopefully that’s just the beginning of the changes you might make.

So there you have it. Google want you to be able to customise your smartphone as you wish.

Curious here...

Have a totally new, unactivated Dinc sitting here. Trying if possible to get a full backup of the virgin ROM on it. When I say it's virgin, I mean brand new - never activated, never even powered on until a few ago.

Since the first thing it does is walk you through activation, something I don't want to do, any idea how to get past the setup screens so that I can get USB debugging turned on so that I can get a custom recovery on it? Or an update.zip or PB31img.zip that I can get onto the SD card to bypass the need for USB debugging?

Thanks!

R

PS: If you wonder why I want to bypass activation, it's a phone that's bought as a replacement for my daughter for Xmas, so I don't want to tip my hand by activating it and subsequently nuking the service on her current.. And trying to save myself the trouble of doing all on xmas day. And yeah, I have other Dinc's here so I'm not totally clueless with them. Thx.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
I had managed to get the since rooted and running a custom Ron without activating it on just wifi. Should work for you too. Just be careful if it's an slcd inc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCrew:
Thanks... Appreciate the response, but on power on first screen asks language, second wants to activate, so I can't get deep enough in to get the wifi info in nor turned on unless I can figure how to bypass the setup screens.

Like I said, this unit hasn't ever been on, so it's going through the setup that would normally be handled by Verizon before they hand you the phone...Not really a position that I'd expect that the majority of users here have ever seen.

And it is indeed an SLCD, but mine is also so I'm pretty aware of the hoops I'll have to jump through there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoney 666:
Can't you just go ahead and skip all the steps and root your phone. Then go to recovery and wipe back to factory resets? That should work.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCrew:

I did this for my wife's last phone though not a smart phone. I had to activate it at the store before leaving, as soon as i got home i asked to see her phone to "update the service" :D and started to tell her about the *228 ...new towers etc....

I didn't update the service just re-activated her phone so she wouldn't know.

Worked well for me and didn't ruin the surprise

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slawson:
He can't root because he cannot get past activation screen, to set up debugging mode.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCrew:
Thanks slawson. Appreciate the offer.. but seriously rather than inconvenience someone I'll just wait until Xmas and do it then if I can't get past the activation screen some other way or getting into it with a custom recovery image. I'll still be able to get a pretty much virgin shot of the ROM, albeit it'll be an activated phone.

I was hoping to catch it in an unactivated state if at all possible, since I've found references by people cooking ROM's that a backup of an activated phone still has the ESN tucked away in obscure corners and subsequently isn't of much value - or at least can lead to potential issues if used other than on the phone it came from.

In the quest for better battery life, I know a lot of us have discovered apps or services that could be the culprit in fast battery drain. I thought it might be useful to have a centralized thread where we could share our discoveries.

My personal discoveries:

Since Macnut 13, I noticed that the SNS Service was freezing on my phone, draining battery and making things sluggish.

Google Reader (the official app) eats about 3% CPU according to System Panel. I noticed better battery life after switching to GReader instead.

Double check any apps that ping Facebook, Twitter, etc. I reinstalled Tweetcaster from scratch and by default, it's set to check the server every 3 mins. Obviously, changing to a larger interval will use less system resources.

Previous discoveries seen on xda:

WiFi Calling eats a ton of CPU (and therefore battery) even when it's switched off.

DRM Protected Content Storage

[Vibrant General] Keslynn:

[Vibrant General] hydrogenman:
DRM Protected Content Storage

can that be removed without consequence?
[Vibrant General] 12paq:

I bought a couple of movies from the bloat source Media Hub and reinstall it with my custom roms. I still have great battery, I thought do to my rom and kernel and conditioning my batteries. But can I delete those drma files?

[Vibrant General] pavvy:
I haven't caught (via System Panel monitoring) the DRM service burning unwanted CPU cycles -- i.e., no activity except when I've actually used media. (Just my 2c, perhaps others have had problems with it...)
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The exchange activesync client chews through battery. It basically halves my battery life.

Most IM clients on Eclair are dogs.

Some widgets are terrible. Why does the Slacker widget need a seevice, but Pandora's does not?
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
There seems to be a problem with the 3d Gallery that makes it drain battery. I am unsure if this is strictly a Nero v3 problem or if it applies to all JL5 ROMs (that do not explicitly state that the problem has been fixed). Maybe someone can clarify.

At any rate, a more detailed description of the issue can be found here.

Download a fix here or upgrade to a ROM that is known to include a fix (Nero v4 that I've seen so far).

On another battery eating note, SNS service froze up on me again and ate my battery alive. Usually I have it frozen but I flashed a new ROM yesterday and forgot to do it. I won't make that mistake again.
