[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I did the factory wipe from Clockwork, and mounted the SD to my comp to make sure I deleted it and the thing is gone. I moved to a different ROM for the time being, which is unfortunate because I really liked Cyanogen. I'm just giving Ultimate Droid a test drive for now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I had the same thing happen with the iNexus theme. The only way I could get back to stock CM 6.1 was to an earlier nandroid backup. If you didn't run a backup before installing the theme, you will have to do a new install.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
What do you mean new install? I downloaded the CM6.1 zip and put it back on my memory card and the flashed it again if that's what you're referring do. I mentioned that in my OP.

EDIT: I suppose this is all irrelevant now seeing as the speaker appears to be shot. Looks like I have to call in for a replacement.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chuck6993:
I tried to root my gf's evo today using Unrevoked and it failed and now it wont boot into recovery. It will boot up into the stock rom.

What is my next step?

Phone as it sits right now.

S-On

HBOOT 2.10

Thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Unfortunately unrevoked3 right now does not root the new EVOs with HBOOT 2.02/2.10 right now but the dev team is currently working on a solution for it.

You need to follow this root method if you want to root your HBOOT 2.10 EVO.

Thanks a lot that worked. It wasn't as easy as my first evo but it worked.

Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsfan_Jim:
OK, I've searched everywhere I can think of - so can anyone help?

New Android user, still learning. I have created a few folders on my home screen for regularly used apps (Games, Admin, etc.) but everytime I reboot I seem to lose the art for a number of them (I suspect the ones that have had updates since original install).

I can refresh them by deleting the icon from the folder and re-adding from 'all apps' - but this is a pain everytime I reboot (i.e. every morning).

Is there anyway I can stop it losing the art?:confused:

fyi: I am now on Virtuous ROM, but I had the same issue with the original Stock ROM (Overclocked) before I flashed.

Any advice appreciated.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
i love this forum. just followed the direction and got it to work on the first time. thanks to the people that actually figured this out. here's how i did it

first download the modified flash player apk. i got it from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9502517&postcount=3

remove any other flash player that you have and intall this one. maybe reboot in between to be safe.

also, get dolphin browser from market.

next just follow these directions i got from another thread. i modified it a little since the flash apk is already modified

The trick for getting Hulu working is to do these things:

1) Use Either Dolphin Browser or SkyFire

2) In the browser, Settings...set User Agent to "Desktop"

3) In Advanced Settings set Plugins to "Always On"(Default is "on demand"))

4) Install the Adobe flash player from link above

5) Install AdFree from the marketplace

6) Start AdFree, it will want to create the Host file. If it exists when you run it, it will hang and not complete the installation.

7) When AdFree comes up there is an option to "Revert" click this button to allow ads, Hulu needs this to work.

8) Reboot to clear the host cache.

9) Turn back on AdFree Host file restrictions if you like after you're done with the Hulu Goodness! Enjoy!

i went to hulu and it works great. i haven't had any issues so far. watched a whole episode of Simpsons to test it out.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
just tried the stock browser and it worked also. so i guess you don't need dolphin to do watch hulu now. i think the modified flash apk is what did the trick. i did change the setting in the stock browser same as in the dolphin.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
This works with beta4 and stock browser.

ETA scratch that :( just forces my tablet to reboot just after the commercial finishes.
[G Tablet General] catttman:
Wow...good find
[G Tablet General] Allenfx:
I was going to test it but hulu costs eight bucks a month. TV. Com costs nothing. Is it worth the money?
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
This is a work around to watch the free version of hulu.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
with this hack, hulu is free.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
one thing i had happen. when i was watching hulu on the stock browser, somewhere near the middle, the browser forced closed. after that, i couldn't get the stock browser to load up after that or the dolphin either. i turned the tab off, and when i tried to start it up, it went into a reboot loop. not sure it that's related to the rom or what i did to get hulu to work. i just reloaded everything and will try it again. will keep people posted.
[G Tablet General] Mikeg1969:
Will this only work with VEGAn or can this be used with stock firmware also?
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
well, after i reset everything, i tried first watching a full episode of Seinfeld on dophin browser and it worked fine. then, i watched a full episode again with stock browser. it worked fine too. i guess the crash i had wasn't related to the hulu fix.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
noticed something interesting. when i go to google.com, there's a little link to download the chrome browser. when i clicked on it, it gave me the download page but for mac 0S X 10.5 or later, Intel Only.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
honestly, i don't know. i think it should though
[G Tablet General] deadend2000:
Work with xScope 6, thank you very much.
[G Tablet General] joejaru:
Stock Firmware

It works on the stock firmware, but you have to root your tablet first to use Adfree.
[G Tablet General] fundun:
Works good, but breaks Market

I tried this and it worked great. Watched an episode of Family Guy. Then I tried the Market app and all the apps were gone. I the reapplied the Market fix and all is well. Thanks for the tip!
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I had my fingers crossed that this would make Fancast.com (aka xfinity.com/tv) work, but it still seems to hang on the commercials for shows from any network other than CBS. Hopefully the Xfinity On Demand Android app will show up in January, as has been rumored.
[G Tablet General] ladymeggs:
not working

Don't know what I did wrong, but I followed the instructions in the first post. I get all the way to loading an episode when it tells me my device is not supported. Help.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Are you sure you changed the User Agent in your Dolphin browser to Desktop? (under Settings)
[G Tablet General] foohawt:
I am having the same thing as the previous user, I am on Vegan beta 4, using dolphin HD and the flash player from the first post, and I had set my agent to Desktop. I do have the dolphin plugin desktop viewer (can't remember the exact name off the top of my head) but I did manually set the Agent to desktop, still get the device is not supported message.

That flash player actually fixed an issue i was having with the browser closing when trying to play a flash file.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
i don't know if it makes a difference, but i was using the regular version of dolphin browser, not HD
[Nexus S General] kozze:
Has anyone managed to use the "TLS (Accept all certificates)" option in the default e-mail client on Nexus S? I have my own IMAP server with a self-signed certificate. If I select just TLS an java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException which is expected since the certificate is self-signed. But if I then instead select the "TLS (Accept all certificates)" option the e-mail application crashes with the following error:

Sorry!

The application Email (process com.google.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Is anyone else using this feature and managed to get it to work? Want to know if it is just me or if it is a common error.

As a note I can use K-9 mail and it works fine. I can add an exception for my self-signed certificate in K-9 mail without problems.
[Desire HD General] Togsy:
Has anyone been having any issues when connecting to wifi since updating to the recent OTA for the Desire HD?

It seems sporadic, because sometimes i will have full signal and then it will cut out even when i am right next to my router. And other times it just doesnt show any signal, and says connected and other little things like this. I am just wondering if anyone else has suffered from this problem or anything like it?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
My device is working perfectly fine after the update.

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] tony_reilly:
What I've noticed is that my Wifi doesn't seem to turn off. I've got it set to sleep after 15mins, but it doesn't seem to be after the OTA. need to do a bit more investigation to see for sure though.
[Desire HD General] v6kgang:
@OP - I am experiencing very minor Signal loss in Wifi after the update. it goes down by a Bar....But No disconnection or degraded Wifi Performance
[Desire HD General] Stormingsoul:
After the OTA i have wifi problems all of a sudden too.

I think it has something to do with the wifi sleep thing or something.

When i turn on the screen after some..hour(s)

Wifi says it is at 100% strength, but when i open a page it says cannot be found.

I have to restart wifi to get internet working again.

haven't done a factory reset, dunno if that will help anything?
[Desire HD General] cubitusclaudius:
Everything perfect.

very good battery life (maybe double)

smoothness

photos +

video excellent

as good wifi as before

maybe this sms problem, but I don't receive sms so can't talk about
[Desire HD General] quark_star:
I am experiencing this issue too running the 1.72 OTA.

I have the wifi sleep policy set to "after 15 mins". Wifi works fine in general. However sometimes, when I wake the phone after a while, it shows a full wifi signal but no data transmits. As above, wifi has to be restarted to get it running again.
[Desire HD General] chiel54:
I had the same. After the update the Wifi connection randomly was lost and sometimes I had to close the HD and restart.

However, a few days ago I did a factory reset and now my HD seems to be behaving like never before. No battery issues and my wifi always is fine.

Why are you scratching your head? I just wanted to give a rundown from someone that has experienced both devices.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
This is what you would call a post count troll.

Anyway I would go with BB for your business needs. I used to own a BB 8700, 8300, 8310, pearl, etc.
[EVO 4G General] ddublu:
No doubt....when I first read it I thought you were talking about me....then I really did scratch my head. Have a good night.
[EVO 4G General] Mactagonist:
Yeah, there is really no question that the battery life on the Evo is only acceptible to people that have constant access to a charger or are willing to stuff a double or tripple size battery in their pocket.

Hopefully the Evo shift 4g will be a big improvement. With its larger battery, smaller screen and more power efficient processor it should be.
[EVO 4G General] Success100:
umm no, try again, i could care less about post count, I just didnt see a point of this thread because just about everyone knows the advantages/disadvantages of android phones and blackberries, at least the people that post on this site. but to each his own
[EVO 4G General] craigbailey1986:
Not sure if that comment is true.... my phone last well over 16 hours which is enough for me.. not sure what your battery life is but that's just my experience.

[EVO 4G General] josh995:
I sort of miss my blackberry. I'm thinking about going back. I am considering the curve 3G.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
in this base.

used a 9650 for a month than swapped to the EVO.

you are pretty much spot on in every aspect. I get p.good battery life on my Evo, enough for a solid day of use where I can plug it in at night.

Tethering is much easier on the EVO than a BB.

Completely agree on the Bolds keyboard, it is simply amazing. I hated the Curve keyboard, and am yet to find a slider i like...i think i just hate sliders.

Contemplated selling my Evo and picking up a Bold again. I carry my laptop around and EVO is just basically for texting/facebook. Also, BB Facebook App is a lot better then Androids.
[EVO 4G General] jbhorner:
Good post. I agree with most of the points. The one thing that makes me stick with Android is the applications I utilize. Though there are some decent applications on the BlackBerry, many of the are so overpriced. I also find that the BlackBerry versions of some are very poor when compared to their Android counterparts. (This is the same complaint iPhone users have about Android applications!)

I'm still getting used to OS 6 on my Bold.I believe I ran into a problem with battery life post-upgrade. It seems to be related to my WiFi. I also just found out that my camera isn't working--which will be a headache I deal with some time this week.

Two areas where I don't agree: I find that the BlackBerry application store is complete GARBAGE. I had to switch devices (went from a Tour to the Bold), and it lost my applications...despite following the instructions on how to ensure they weren't lost. When trying to rectify this, I found that RIM doesn't even have support (i.e., people with whom I can communicate) for issues like this.

The second area has to do with the email reconciliation. Just as Android has synchronize, the BlackBerry has "reconcile now." I'd say they're on-par in this respect. I don't think either one is perfect. I've had lost appointments on my BlackBerry, where they have been on my Evo.

One area I didn't see in your post had to do with GPS. I find that the Evo GPS works much better than my BlackBerry's. The BlackBerry, curiously, works great with RIM's own Maps application; third-party applications (Bing/Google Maps) were hit or miss.

On the other hand, the one area where the BlackBerry shines over the Evo is in international usage. Not only will the Bold roam on GSM, Sprint has a plan that is unlimited data for the Bold. Not so for the Evo. (Though Verizon has it for both BlackBerry and Android devices.)

[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Decent article, a bit lengthy, but full of good info. (i personally can't comprehend how someone would have enough time to sit down and write a posting of that magnitude)

Regardless. I have a Bold 9700 for work and my Evo for personal. I HATED BB before the work phone. now that i've used it and worked on the enterprise servers, i see the merits. it's a solid little device. not as feature packed as my evo.

the one main sticking point that i can't shake is, as you said, the battery life. it's amazing how long my Bold can go. i've had it off the charger for 4 days now. no problem. it's incredible. my evo? barely goes a full 12 hour work day without a charge. i know they make expanded batteries and i could always get extra batteries. But to be honest, i have no desire to remove two layers of otterbox defender just to replace a battery. it still amazes me that HTC missed the mark so greatly on the batteries, when all the other features rock.

</rant> :cool:
[EVO 4G General] ddublu:
I didnt mean to give any addtl credit to the BB App World but to be honest, I never use it and dont have a need to use it now...I search the web for the apps and use the dl link directly from their sites.

As far as reconcile goes, the EVO worked better for email (when it did work 100%). Again this is for email only....if I deleted an email on my pc it doesnt leave my bb...it does on the EVO.

Forgot about GPS - you are correct....the GPS on the EVO was far better and could be used for lots of cool things....I get Telenav for free on the BB so cost wise that isnt an issue.....hard to come close to Google Navigation although I will say it has routed me on some pretty crazy routes before.

One other thing I forgot was notes/memos. Yes, there are apps for Android that sync manually but it's 2010. I dont want to sync manually...I use notes alot (have over 350) and I really missed them on Android.
[EVO 4G General] ddublu:
You can't "comprehend" how someone has 10 minutes to write out their experiences? Are you THAT busy?
[EVO 4G General] jbhorner:
I just remembered (after just experiencing the problem) another thing I absolutely hate about the BlackBerry email: it has a limit as to how much it will download per message. If a message is over a certain size, it pretty much flips you the middle finger. I just ran into this, actually. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but it is when reading HTML messages contained in external (non BES) email.

Joel
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
Your Bold 9700 is GSM, Bold 9650 is CDMA and GSM when needed.

GSM phones have much better battery life compared to CDMA ones. I would get about a day in a half-2 days of battery on my Bold. Evo if I rarely use it, i can get up to 30-34 hours of standby basically, but if using moderately I can get 20-24 hours. Bold with heavy use would last me a full day at least, Evo with heavy use i'm lucky to get 12 hours.

I do love the Bold, adn would have no qualms about going back to one. Especially if I had a Tablet also or something easier than my laptop. Might have to throw my Evo up for sale for $350 and see if I get any bites, haha.
[EVO 4G General] -Apollo-:
OK! Longest useless post I've ever wasted my time reading! So you say the keyboard is too small, then you say it is perfect....is it perfectly small? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
2.4" screen?

Are we talking about smartphones or featurephones here?
[EVO 4G General] ddublu:
so you go and waste even more time to tell everyone what you THOUGHT you read? I said "tad" not "too." Get your facts straight.
[EVO 4G General] -Apollo-:
"Tad" small takes perfection out of the equation! But anyways, just bustin' your chops man...enjoy your phone!!;)
[EVO 4G General] :
Yeah after modding it. On a BB battery life is superb out the box.
[EVO 4G General] stevcha:
Nice writeup. I was long time Blackberry user. I went from the storm to storm2 to curve. Blackberry definitely met my needs. After a few years I wanted more and the Evo fit the bill. In the end it just all depends on your needs and what you use your smartphone for.
[EVO 4G General] rican408:
I think ur playing down the cons of the bb. I've also owned them and tried to mod it running other "roms" forgot the term we used to use... the bb now is a complete failure to me as a non business owner. App store lmao! Apps garbage. Screen unuseable how small it is. Did not like the keyboard. SLOW AS CRAP. Why on earth would you keep a phone off the charger for 4 days? My battery has never run out in 6 months...

Bottom line.. I see absolutely no comparison with these phones

The only thing people have said that I can't comment on is the enterprise email? My gmail works great... btw u can't call what bb has as navigation hahahahaha
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
I would wager a bb would be better for a more work oriented person like yourself, but I honestly don't see a comparison between devices that would warrant a well written review like this.

I mean they go after entirely different markets and are meant to serve different purposes.
[EVO 4G General] Nrre:
I never used the BB App Store.

However the Bold's screen looks amazing and is great for reading emails, sending text, and searching the google or anything with text.

I used Sprint Nav on my Bold to get me from St Louis MO to a po-dunk town in Iowa(ok, in Iowa everything is a po-dunk little town) and it worked flawlessly.

It's a pretty nice phone for staying connected. No, it won't make you breakfast in the morning like the Evo does.
[EVO 4G General] magicriggs:
Blackberries are boring and slow there more business orientated. Android is fun and does the same as blackberry just a different fashion. You mention your an amateur photographer, you wish that rim would put better camera in there phones. Now I take alot of pictures but I don't consider myself amateur photographer at all. So I must assume your taking alot of pictures. Heres a nickels worth of free advice rim can put there best camera technology in there fastest phone, and its not going to beat a 90 dollar camera at walmart. Your a photographer go use a camera. With that said to each its own, but if your expecting more out of a phone then blackberries aren't the way to go.

[Droid X General] apavolka:
I'm usually over at android forums but I recently got Fission and realized I should venture over to here. I installed Fission and I tried the google youtube app and hate it. I was wondering if anyone could guide me on installing the stock app. And because im new, I'm not sure if this is the section to post this thread.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
attached is an older version of youtube, but still stock.

To have used the following method with re-installing the stock facebook apk, but I recommend that you take a nandroid backup before attempting anything

Save the .apk to your sdk\tools folder.

Open up 2 command prompt windows.

In the first do the following (with the phone connected via Charge Only mode for usb connection):

1) type: adb shell (press enter)

2) type: su (press enter)

3) type: mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Switch to the second command prompt window

Change directory to your sdk\tools folder where you should have saved the .apk file

1) type: adb push Facebook.apk /system/app/Facebook.apk (press enter)

Switch back to the first command prompt

4) type: cd /system/app (press enter)

5) type: chmod 644 Facebook.apk

6) type: exit (press enter. you made need to do this 2x to get back to the regular command prompt.

when back at the regular command prompt

7) type: adb remount (press enter. This will remount the system partition as read-only)

8) type: adb reboot (press enter. This will reboot your phone. When it reboots, the youtube app should be reinstalled as a system application.

NOTE: i take no responsibility for any damage this may cause. I have not tested this method on a custom ROM, only on my own device when I have removed applications from the default 2.3.15 OTA.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GTMoraes:
Hey,

I've got an MF68 / IP800 (It got so many names that I prefer to call it "Horza", sounds pro - There will be a picture of it on the bottom of this post) and it came with a Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional - CE 5.2.23090 (Comp. 23090.5.3.0) - Yup, it ain't a rip-off windows. It's a rather good phone, with a slow-but-does-whatever-I-throw-at-it processor "HUAWEI HiSilicon K3", running at 360MHz (I've seen versions running at 460, if anyone knows how to overclock it, it would be welcome), 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM; all those controlled by a 240x400 3" resistive screen. Not a lamborghini but does the job well done.

Anyhoo, I want to change the ROM. Somehow it limits my volume to 63%. It might be good for my ears, but it's a real pain when I connect it to an external speaker. Also, there's a few ROM's possessing some sleek features that I'd love to use. But there's three problems:

1 - It's a dual-SIM phone (the actual ROM seems to be adapted, or something, for this - due to the poor, china-style, translation in the Dual-SIM Setup area)

2 - It's a china phone, thus I don't know what I'm supposed to do or if it's able to

3 - I only have the original USB Cable. Will it work or I need some sort of special cable?

So, what should I do? Will it be able to update? Which programs should I get?

Thanks for the attention and I'm awaiting for an answer

Sincerely,

GTMoraes
