[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ben's:
I am trying to root a Droid 1 using z4, but all it does is go into "acquiring root shell" then back into the app screen without rooting. Like a force close without the force close message. I also cannot download any apk files from any website.

I have tried 2 factory resets, but no luck. I am running Android 2.2.1

What am I doing wrong? Any help is much appreciated, thanks for your time :-)
[EVO 4G General] ateld:
Hello,

My evo seems to drain batteries excessively fast. Using battery monitor widget, idle drain with everything off, including the screen, is about 70-80 mA. When I'm on the internet, its between 300-700 mA. Is this normal? What numbers are you guys getting?

Thanks
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
With CM6.1.1 I can get ~40 mA on idle. Idle drain is very kernel specific.

[G Tablet General] rls2002:
I just dropped my G Tab for the second time ... and its still alive. Being somewhat a fumble fingers I have accidently dropped my G Tab from a table of three feet or more since I bought it at the end of November. No visible harm externally or internally.

The build quality of this tablet truly impresses me.

Gotta quit dropping it though before it runs out of lives. :eek:
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
That's my fear everyday. Nice to know it has a few lives to it...
[G Tablet General] nataluna:
As a fellow klutz I am very glad to hear this.

Not that I am going to try it on purpose, but just in case it happens I hope to not be devastated.

[G Tablet General] gsmith3246:
Bought my Gtab on Black Friday. Been keeping it updated with TnT Lite, love this device.

A week ago, I bumped it off the counter onto the floor. It landed on a rug, edge-on. From that point, the lower third of the screen (when held in portrait mode) became increasingly unresponsive. I cannot describe the sick feeling this gave me (I have a lot of gadgets, but dont normally get so attached to them).

I searched for my receipt (unsuccessfully), but had the original box and all materials. I called the Sears store I bought it from and talked to the sales lead in Electronics. I simply told him I was having screen issues but didnt have my receipt. Told him I love the device and didnt want my money back, but asked (since it was still within 30 days) if there was some way I could exchange it for a new one....

He said he'd be happy to exchange it. I took it in and was back out with a new one in less than 5 minutes, no questions asked. I even got $20 refunded since the price had dropped. I also picked up the Viewsonic GTab Case for $5.99 (a surprise for the money, since its a decent CaseLogic case).

So.. yes, a fall CAN kill your Gtab, but I do think it's a well made device for the price... heck, a 4 foot fall will destroy most electronic gadgets.

So.. now I absolutely baby this thing... it stays in the case when not in use.

Moral: Be careful with it as you would any other $400 device.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
That's exactly why I finally sprung for a 3rd party warranty a device... cover accidental damage(extra charge) as well for 3y... squaretrade.

FBPREVIEW (MIGHT) still get you 30% off... c. $65 total.

(I just know that I'll drop and break the gTab at some point, since I was keeping it I decided that I had better do something about getting a better warranty...)

You're supposed to buy this w/in 30d of purchase, but they might let you slide a little. Also as a caveat, I've heard of squaretrade before and have heard good things about them, but beyond that this is my first experience with them and I have yet to make a claim...
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Good information to share with everyone.

I decided against purchasing a warranty because early on I read that assessories for the gtab will be available in early-to-mid Demember. I must be on a different calendar... I'm looking for a fold cover similar to the one they have for that other major brand we don't mention on this forum. I keep holding my breath, but I think I'll be looking at one of the covers available now for temporary use.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Go check out the accessories forum. It looks like Kindle DX cases fit OK, but people seem to be getting random color v. what they ordered, plus one guy said that he couldn't get it to fit right.

Another guy found a Solo case @ Staples for $20 that looked lit it fit well. He posted a video... DX people just had some pix...

Well, I've never bothered w/warranties for my notebooks, but I decided that I had better with the gTab as I find it a bit unwieldly v. a 7", and I've seen several posts before about people who dropped their Pandigital Novels and Augen Gentouches and broke their screens. I was just worried that this one being larger it might be MUCH easier to damage the screen...

2.Upgrade Radio (Ive used 2.12.50.02_2 for ages works great -search forum for DL again)

3.then format SD Card (use your WinMo again to do this - app is in there somewhere)

4.Download an Android Build (Try darkstones SuperRAM build v1.5 - really good!)

5.Unzip Android Files and put into SD card (Sync phone to PC and drop files into SD)

-a. Press CLRCAD (use Windows Mobile File Explorer to Nav to android folder on SD card)

-b. Press Haret (Same process as CLRCAD)

Android will Boot and congrats - :)

[Nexus S General] Prototypeuk:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do bring up all your contacts in a list when you are sending a text message? I wanted to browse and select a few people out of my contacts but all I could do was add them one by one by typing their contact name.

I would like to be able to browse my contacts and tick off who I want the message to go to.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
I don't think you can in the stock messaging app. Try Handcent instead, has a plethora of other features as well.
[Nexus S General] Prototypeuk:
Is there anyway of making this the default message app?

Come on Google surely we can have better handling of contacts when sending a text message.

I come away from Symbian and Nokia to find a simple feature like this on an advanced phone like the Nexus S is missing. (I could do it on my old Nokia for gods sake)

How can we report stuff like this?
[Nexus S General] bigsc:
Not sure if you are, but if you're talking about hero or evo, you can click the little person on the right of where you would type the individual names. From there, you can select all recipients or groups

This is where to file a report on complaints/issues.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLOKER:
Hi,

i got a new Desire HD and I just got a question:

There is an app called "Mail" (with the Sense-Interface) and

one called "Google Mail". I would like to use the "Mail" one

because it looks better but my Google Mail App always

notices me when I get a new mail. Is this also

possible for the Mail application?

Or where is actually the difference?

Thanks

Im having trouble sending a text message that is greater than 160 characters too. I am using Aosp 2.2, latest one.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittssaaron:
I'm surprised we're the only ones having this problem, although most people don't send sms messages over 160. I on the occasion do, so it's a necessity. I recall 2.1 being able to do it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
To send messages over 160 character, you will have to use a SMS app such as Chomp or Handcent to split up the message(s).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ittssaaron:
@ stayclean

I've tried several SMS applications, including CHOMP, Handcent, Go SMS, and stock. All show that you are going beyond the two page limit, but once you exceed it says send failed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
With Handcent, did you set it to split after 160? If not, you have to go into Settings > Send message settings > Split 160 > Simple Split.

If it is being caused by a task killer most have an option to ignore apps you select. I use advanced task killer froyo and it has an ignore function, however the nav app is not on my ignote list and will kill the app if i am not using it but once opened again it works just fine.

Only problem I'm having is that NAV kills pauses music when giving a turn-by-turn instruction, but then doesn't allow music to resume. This feature worked correctly on 2.1, then was broken on 2.2, then fixed on the NOV OTA, which 3.2 is supposedly based on. Not sure why this bug persists.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:
Hi sorry for all the questions recently im just realy into all this modding and makeing my phone faster.

And coming to this site is one of the best things i have used since getting the internet on in my house because everyones friendly and very helpfull thank you all who have helped me

sorry back to my question

do you know how it says not to take the memory card out of phone after installing app2sd.

does this mean i cant connect phone to the computer and install music on.

or can i connect to the pc without problems and install music and app2sd still works

when it says not to take memory card out does this just basicaly mean do not remove card from phone itsself
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] -Sumsy-:
Hi it does work i tried it anyway because no one wrote back
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
your data from apps is on your sd card they mean

that if you take it out your apps wont work :)

or your device will turn off
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JaX3RiR:
You can transfer data from your computer to your phone just like before.

One of the reasons why we even need to create a separate partition for app2sd is to allow the regular FAT32 partition to be mounted on your computer and still allow the apps on the SD to work.

Hi , having been an avid HTC user a while back, rom changing etc, I got an iphone and have used that since. I once went back to a HTC touch pro 2 but didnt like it so ended up getting an Iphone 4 on release. Since then I still have a longing for HTC so am wondering whether to get another? I want to get away from the iphone to tinker with HTC again but cannot decide, what do you guys think?

I was looking at a desire Z because I want a physical keyboard so am hoping to swap for my Iphone 4.

My phone is in as new condition with box and accessories bought from Apple so is unlocked to all networks.

Let me know if interested, cheers. Stu.

Isn't it pretty dumb to ask a question like that here at XDA? The people here will, of course, vote for the HTC. Looking for Android fanboys? Well, XDA is the place. You won't get a single objective answer here.

That's like asking the guys at Mercedes if you should get an Audi. The answer won't surprise you.
[General Topics] Stu308:
No no no, bazooka, I stated that I had HTC touch pro 2 previously and didnt like it. I just wanted a subjective view if things had improved since then.
[General Topics] LordManhattan:
Oh, i see :P

The answer is yes. HTC has improved since the Touch Pro 2. Check out some videos on YouTube or something, or take a HTC out for a spin. HTC and Android matches perfectly, and HTC has improved big time the last year(s).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Guzmanus:
Hello. I hope you can help me because this problem is giving me A LOT of headaches V.V

first of all, im spanish so dont expect a great english.

Let's go;

The main problem is; i hear some distortion on some music tracks. Its a short distortion, like a "pop" that you hear when you're plugging a jack on the computer.

Its not problem of the music file, as it happens randomly and i cant repeat it, and it doesnt happen on the computer. It's not problem of the headphones, as it happens in the onboard loudspeaker, and with other speakers (i have no other headphones to try with). It's not problem of the music player, it happens with the stock one, and doubletwist ( i haven't tried more)

It's something releated to the firmware i think, as I downgraded back to JM1 and distortions dissapeared (at least i didn't hear any). Now i'm trying with JPP as it's the latest official update with Kies, and it still happens, but less than with JPY.

I'm REALLY frustrated, i've wasted hours trying to analyze and isolate the problem but I dont know why it's happenning and how to solve it :/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cbdrift:
ive had the phone lock up if it changes clock speed on the later roms - totally at random - but sometimes ive noticed a click or pop as well

in another thread somewhere someone else mentioned that their music player was crashing when their phone changed clock speed.

If youve tried everything else - try locking the clock speed so it doesnt change? (setcpu ?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Guzmanus:
Ok, thank you, i've tried locking CPU speed at 400mhz with setCPU and it works. Now that we've located the problem, what can we do?

I'd have to open setCPU every time i want to listen to music?

:/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] icejagans:
I've noticed that if you change the equaliser settings from the default it has that click noise when playing the music. Problem us that the default settings are crap, but if you want to change it you get that annoyance in that background

Any specifics on the Quadrant score? Specifically the 3d part? What FPS did you get generally from the First Person Shooter, Planets, and the Orange Pattern/Leaves?

I get around 12fps on the shooter, 40fps on the planets, and 17fps on the orange one. Froyo Myn's w/ Baked Kernel 6.

The answer is yes! Gingerbread does increase graphical performance.
