[Droid Pro General] s15274n:
I searched side button, also searched google. My mother-in-law got a Droid Pro and this button is haunting her.

How do I change what this button does, and can I make it open certain apps?

Please help.... it's my mother-in-law :)
[Droid Pro General] s15274n:
Shortcuts > Settings > Quick Launch

Edit the side button function. Found it on the Motorola site. JESUS!
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
I can't believe it doesn't take a picture in the camera app!

Jeeze (again)!

Clarification for some users.

Add the widget: Shortcuts -> Settings -> QuickLaunch then tap on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
This is a kernel with Recovery2e patched inside it for the froyo roms! :D

its a tar for use with odin you can also use heimdal to flash the zimage, i have not testes all the options, but CWM loads ;)

The files ware taken from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=813475

It also has: BFQ + ondemand scheduler + TinyRCU
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
can you tell me more what version is the kernel... what firmware was it from thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
this a 2.6.32.9 from the Froyo rom for the i9000B VJJPD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
do you have any steps on how you did this as i want the 2.2.1 kernel from jpy to add back in 2e recovery and bln.. other kernels with this seem to trash the secondary camera apps with me.. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
fuc**** awesome man!!!!

u r the best

now we can flash this and after flash u custom kernel. great
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
one bug..in boot intro we have no sound. until now working fine.should i flash the oyher one u did?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
its not a bug, its like a bug :P

i disabled the boot sound by mistake, if more ppl ask i can enable it again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
Sorry to say, but doesn t work for me.

Disabled OCLF, downloaded CWM and touch the field to reboot in CWM recovery.

nothing happenend.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
Also busybox seems not to be installed anymore.

Found out by the busybox installer app.

OCLF options like ext2tools not avaiable anymore.

Bad stuff here man.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
can you please try to "apply update.zip" twice?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
Can t mount sdcard

Did twice.

Can t mount de/bloc/...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
thats weird, can you please showme the mount output?

i did like 5 test, but i just booted into update.zip, i did not try all the options
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
i downloaded CWM but it doesn't go to recovery mode.

so i booted in RM by myself, and aplyed 3 times to aply update.zip:

also no more sound at boot, busybox or even OCLF:

good image with the 2e u did.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
weird, busybox should be nder /system, i will link it inside /sbin to see if it works.

also, im not sure why /sdcard is not mounting for you :|

you have an i9000B right? which rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
yeah:

maybe wipe all then flash again to try with the rom "pure"

openning z4mod it tells my phone is not rooted. maybe? but i have the superuser beeing used by other apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
mmmm whats that z4mod?

i dont want you to hard reset im playing with steam recovery now, but it puzzles me this problem, since i have it working (same rom, only rooted)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
here it is z4mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845337

just like a OCLF.

and the root stuff doesn't seems to be the problem. i un-root, then rooted using superoneclick, and had a test, Super User is working.

so wipe everything and flash again, not for now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
not unless you dont care, im not sure if that will fix anything, but if you get bored reinstall the rom, do a reset and try this kernel again

i will try to get steam working this week
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
ok.

i'll wipe and flash again. then after the phone boots, try u kernel again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
man...worked!!

copy the jkwdhcwcjwgkwg.zip from CWM folder, rename to update.zip in sdcard.

worked.

but the other problems, still there.

i'll flash u other custom kernel now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
ok CWM is working? maybe its the lagfix thing, what other problems do you have?

what other kernel? this is the only one with recovery fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nachin:
Yeahh it is true!!! We just need to copy the clockworkmod.zip and rename by update.zip in the sd-card. The clockworkmod work´s after that!!! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
CWM is working.

Even with it, i did a clean flash with JPD ROM. After, root with SuperOneClick. Then flashed u kernel by Odin.

Then tryed to use OCLF but it seems that ROM is not rooted, since OCLF asks u to root the ROM.

A friend of brazil flashed u kernel. he said that the problem is that it mess with something about superuser/root stuff. it seems to be true.

after the clean flash of the JPP ROM, should i flash kernel first or root first? Or both had to work?

I just forget about busybox. see if it was installed.

The other kernel is "[KERNEL] i9000-B with BLN and more - GAKernel by LuisManson"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
wait, vjjpd is NOT rooteable with z4root ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
But, THAT is the problem?

how it works for u? u can aply the OCLF? Busybox for u, works?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
try one click root first ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
i did that.

clean install.

oneclickroot.

odin with kernel

OCLF ==> doens't work. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] luismanson:
do you really need OCLF? i disabled it because i dont have problems...

but anyways, what oclf method are u using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] carcassudo:
It does really make diference.

Ryanza OCLF ==> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774789

but the problem i think is not the lag fix, but the root stuff.

but busybox isn't going well also.

So Santa brought my 3 year old son a iXL for Christmas this year. I installed the software that came with it. He also got the toy story game for it. You have to dl to pc then transfer to the iXL. So im doing all this, ixl connected to laptop, software installing and system updating. CD tray is spinning away as the wife walks by. She stops and says WTF are you doing "rooting" your sons iXL. Just give the kid his toy for crying out load. HAHA, just a funny story I thought i'd share:)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk2munky:
I have not received a text for about 3 days. It started when my sister asked why I hadn't responded to hers. I figured it was just a hiccup on the network. I was able to send her a text fine and make and receive calls fine, but no texts come in. I'm running on CM6.1 and hadn't had any problems with it. I tried uninstalling recent applications, and I even did a factory wipe and re-install of my ROM and mods, as well as all of my apps and I'm still not having any luck. I haven't yet called Sprint, as I'm afraid that they won't know anything or will give me grief for using a non-stock software (perhaps they won't even know); or maybe I'll just stop into the store sometime soon.

Anyway, I've read a few things about this, such as people removing apps and it alleviating the problem. I figured it was just a space issue, like once the phone dips under a certain amount of on-board storage it doesn't download them. I had a similar problem where it wouldn't sync e-mails until I got 2.2 firmware and did App2SD. But my storage isn't really low enough for that to make sense. I tried re-installing the radio that I use to no avail... I just really can't figure this out.

If anyone could give me a leg up on this problem, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks,

Mike
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
What rom are you running? Is your prl up to date? Current is 60674. Nand, flash a Sense rom, send and receive a few texts, update your profile and prl, then nand restore back to your rom. People have had success with that. :)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk2munky:
I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod that is listed for my phone, which is 6.1.0, released about 2 weeks before I started experiencing the problem. I have the PRL file and have it on my SD card. Is there any way to do this without flashing to a different ROM?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meixner76:
I had the same problem. Downloaded Fresh ROM. Did a nandroid, flashed Fresh, updated prl, opened maps for a good GPS lock for safe measure, then just restored my nandroid of Cyanogen. Worked flawlessly, and took 20 minutes. Definately the best fix, and the nandroid restores everything to to the way it was, so it's no headache at all.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk2munky:
I'm downloading the stock RUU and I have Fresh downloaded. Nandroid keeps getting stuck on data... about to just go for it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meixner76:
Don't flash the stock RUU or you'll have to re root.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk2munky:
Well that's not too hard. But what sucks is when Fresh Sense keeps crashing... then when you go to restore, you get an MD5 mismatch... Yeah, it won't restore my backup because it didn't complete and got stuck. Looks like I'm wiping and re-flashing CM6.... again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk2munky:
Well, somehow I had a working backup from yesterday, the 24th, at some point. It won't be exactly where I left it... but it'll be close. Hopefully I got all the updates I needed via Fresh. Fingers crossed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastin1015:
The way I got it to work was to flash a Sense ROM. As soon as the ROM loaded, all the texts came in. Also while on Sense, update your PRL.

I am currently working on a free homemade prototype; utilizing an apolstry needle, and a diced up esd bag, copper wirethread, and glue. I'll be back with the tutorial after the break.

@Op: If you are in the USA, and have a Sports Chalet in your area, go talk to them. I got a pair of Seirus gloves. They are really light, and thin, but they keep my fingers super warm. And I can still use my phone with them. They are leather on the palm, regular fabric on the back, and only about $20.

When I had my G1 and would ride with it, my motorcycle gloves were thin enough for me to use with the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sabez:
They aren't worth it in my opinion. Just get fingerless gloves. You have to be really precise with touch capable gloves.

[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
I havent noticed anything about a FroYo ROM for the Mes but wanted to make sure. I thought I saw that it was released on the Galaxy S but is it available for the Mes in any form yet?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
EU Galaxy S and Telus Fascinate only as far as I know. The Mesmerize is slated for Q1 2011. Hopefully that's January and not March. If the VZW Fascinate gets it first, it can and probably will be ported and vice versa.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
Ok, figured as much.

When I was in the USCC corp store getting the Mes, one of the guys seems pretty sure 2.2 would be out in Jan. hope he's right.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
I guess the question I have is are the different flavors of the Galaxy S that different hardware wise that they would not be able to run it?

Or is it another example of Corp America at work.

My understanding at this time is that Carriers are afraid of network security?

Another theory I have seen is its about tethering and carriers trying to extract every shickle they can.

Sorry if rambling just trying to get my mind wrapped around it all.

really not happy that there is software that I can not run out there because I have an outdated OS on bleeding edge hardware.
[Samsung Mesmerize] piperthedj:
I tether every day with No issues. As long as one does not go over the 5gb limit who will know?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
I know some people who work for US Cell in all different areas of the business, and they all agree. If you don't go over the 5gb data, they won't know. However, if you do go over the 5gb, they assume you are using the tethering and will charge you for it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
when you start the Wireless Modem app that comes with it stock, it says that you need the tethering package. is this just a friendly warning and us as users are supposed to have that package or does the phone somehow tell USCC that we're tethering?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
From what I've heard, a friendly warning.

I just unrooted my Epic 4G back to stock 2.1 DI18 with Odin using the SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 file and my orientation is not working. None of the apps, when running, will auto rotate to horizontal unless I open the keyboard. Anyone know of a fix for this (or having the same problem)?
[Epic 4G General] S0ckM0nk3y:
The home screens do not rotate with DI18. Not sure why your apps are not. Might be a corrupted file.

[Epic 4G General] D`Nyed:
Had the same problem after I did the sensor calibration in the Froyo Rom and then flashed back. Wouldn't rotate in any apps. Downloaded a few leveling apps and tried their calibration tools but nothing fixed it.

The sensorcalibutil_yamaha calibration utility in this thread fixed it for me. I didn't have to delete the .cfg file but somebody else I linked to this thread a while ago with the same problem had to do that to fix theirs. Assuming you're rooted I just ran mine from a terminal app but you can do it through adb as it says.

[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Fix for orientation/auto-rotate problem in Epic 4G

***MUST BE ROOTED***

1. Download a terminal app from the market - (Android Terminal Emulator)

2. Enter one line at a time.

su

/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

3. Follow the onscreen directions, while making sure you device is flat.

pay attention to the bump at bottom on back.

After you're done, reboot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sokar408:
Let me start off by saying, i haven't ever really used a smartphone. I have on occasion writen a sms or made a call from one, but I haven't had one myself, and thus know little about the actually hardware/software and how it works in general.

I'm on the other hand very capable with a computer, and knows how to fiddle with them to make them do things they weren't meant to (like stable overclocking, performance aimed overclocking, and so on).

However now I'm that I'm getting one, cause freakly the thought of having my favored tool and invention at my fingers every second is too great to pass up (which is obviously the internet). The question is:

Iphone 4

or

HTC Desire HD

Since I'm in the DHD forum its obvious which one I'm favoring. As far as I can tell Android is a much better operating system, not in that it works better, but that it allows for competition and more people to develop software for it (if this perception is wrong, please correct me), where as Apply is... well... Apply :P

The problem is the resolution. I remember sense I was a kid, that I didn't like the choppy displays, and that WHENEVER anyone would lower, or just in general, have their resolution lower then it "should" be, I'd adjust it. From what i hear the resolution and screen quality is quite bad on this one, and that throws me a bit off it.

However my computer savy self, tells me that others will find this annoying too, and that sense these phones are basically small computers now, someone must be looking for a way of working this problem out. I know of several hacks to make my screen resolution bigger, although as the screens that need that ain't meant for it, some works better the others with them.

So my question is.

Will there ever be a way of increasing the resolution on this thing, to YOUR knowledge?

Btw if some actually think I should look for something else then the two, please feel free to express so.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnafuPossum:
Nothing other then the iPhone has a noticeable higher resolution then the dhd. and honestly I have compared mine to a friends iPhone 4 and unless I was less then 6 inches from the screen they looked like the same resolution. i would personally think the quality would he something more to look into and my dhd has a way better screen the my Samsung impression had(amoled)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
WTF are you saying dude?This bad boy's resolution is anything but bad!Everything looks crisp and detail is awesome.The screen is big enough but that doesn't seem to be a problem...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamir.Badat:
resolution is good screen is big but you dont mind that when your using it in your hand,

because when you use it, it feels like it is worth £400+
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmaxx:
The resolution you read about is the given native, hardware bound resolution. There is no practical way to increase resolution. So, what you buy is what you get - forever (at least for any practical purposes).

The easiest way to decide between the two screens is to invite two friends with the DHD and the ithingy and compare. The boring alternative is to go to a store and check them out. I can assure you - they are not that far apart.

However, it strikes me somewhat strange that pixel size seems to be the decisive argument to choose between the two. I suggest to think long and hard about what you want to do with the new gadget and how much tinkering you would like to do.

From my perspective, the iPhone is a carefree package that gives you an easy and great experience for all the important things most people want to do with their phone. Want more control, don't mind the terribly confusing choice out there and don't like Steve deciding for you what a great user experience should be -- then Android is the way to go.

Forget about screen resolution -- the DHD has neither the best resolution nor the best screen (Samsung with their AMOLED screen have;)) -- but it is by no means mediocre.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sHaHiN786:
I got to say that is one of the biggest downfall of the phone, why couldn't they try to make a high resolution screen, I guess that's the first thing HTC will be doing with there next ultimatum model, as for now, iPhone 4's screen is awesome, crisp and without doubt, the best screen out there, hence why I'm selling my phone and going back to the iPhone 4. Big mistake I made with this phone. :D

Please go easy on me everyone, this is solely my opinion. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitehawkbg:
Hello everyone again!

I've been browsing the web today all day and tried to find a way to bring my phone back, but still nothing.

I have Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) on T-Mobile USA

Completely stock software.

Bought it around mid-September this year.

I've tried all methods with the vol+- and plugging it to my usb and such and such...

I've tried booting it from linux with AndroidSDK all it says is - device not recognized.

KIES doesn't work too.

ODIN doesn't as well, I've tried all methods with the keys combo and plugging the USB in different ways.

Phone is completely charged, when plugged to the outlet it doesn't show anything, also when pluggged to my laptop nothing comes up.

When trying to connect it with ODIN, nothing happens.

I believe I completely bricked it somehow installing the wrong ROM for it.

I've tried another battery from the same phone, but thats not the case too.

Before I did anything I backed up all my stuff to my SD card with the BACKITUP app on the Market. So I believe I would have everything on it, right?

Any help/ideas is appreciated!!!

If I can't do anything about it tonight, tomorrow I'm going to BestBuy where I bought it from, because I have a protection plan that would cover software and hardware failures. Now my question is, I have VERY personal information like , contacts, pictures and videos on my phone that I don't want anyone to get a hold of. Do you guys know if I exhange my phone tomorrow and when it gets sent out to Samsung will they have a way of getting ahold of that information?

Thank you all!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dverrette:
Take your battery out your phone

Plug in your usb to your pc

Plug the other end into your phone

Start up Odin

Hold down both volume buttons

Place your battery back in your phone

Then download mode should pop up, this worked for me when i bricked my Vibrant. I called this the resurrection technique, good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
It sounds like you did everything possible to try and revive it.....personally it sounds like it's toast. (Happened to me not to long ago)

Samsung or tmobile, I believe all they do is a manual data wipe if they cannot turn the device on. Should clear everything in the data portion at least. Not sure about internal SD card though.
