well, since this is not OS or model specific i'll place the question here.

1 colleague plugged in his HTC Desire at home and his pc crashes, and his internal mirror RAID became invalid. after the reboot (boot disk was a separate disk) he tried to connect his phone again and no problem at all!

another colleague plugged in his HTC Desire (bought a few months after the one described above) and the pc freezes (no immediate reboot) and the cooling fan from the power supply started blowing like there's 30 volts running through instead of 12. YES REALLY! i was there! after a reboot, again, no problem at all!

me, connecting my HTC HD2 to my pc and suddenly it starts rebooting. after the reboot, again, no problem at all!

immediately afterwards i tried plugging in the usb cable pressing gently in all possible directions in the usb plug. tried different usb plugs. tried with or without my phone connected on the other end. there was no way of repeating anything i wrote in this post.

so the question. does anyone recognize this?

what other phones and phone OSes give this problem?

could it be win XP? win7? vista?

anything?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamayk4001:
just wondering if anybody here has experienced issues with the phone application and if there is a fix available...I've had my desire z for almost a month now, and for some reason once I attempt a phone call, I can't press the end call button. Also, at times, when I get a phone call, no matter how many times I press "accept", it doesn't work....I don't know if this is a bug, because sometimes it works properly and other times, it won't....It also happens while screen is in power saver mode....if I get a call, I cant unlock the screen to answer a call....please HELP!!!

Are you rooted and running a custom rom?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
This might not help you, but I had a problem very similar to this, and it turned out to be because of my screen protector. Don't ask me why, it was fine most of the time, but when I was receiving a call I couldn't answer it most of the time. Replacing the screen protector with a different type fixed the problem for me !

It's a long shot, but if you are using a screen protector, try peeling the bottom up and seeing if you can answer by pressing on the screen itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamayk4001:
Hi guys...thanks for replying....

steviewevie...that sounds weird, but I'll give it a try, although it still doesn't answer my question on why it sometimes works, and other times it does not....thanks anyway...

utorrent....I'm not sure...how do I find out? I'm using the rom that originally came with the phone....you have any suggestions on which rom I should use to fix the problems?

Thanks guys!

Hey all.. I got a problem with the opera on my hd2..

Every 15s Im gitting this pop-up message:

"Out memory - PLease close a tab to free out memory space"

This message making me nervous... :mad:

im using:

Radio Version: 2.08.50.05

I made a hard reset, no other progs installed.. And the problem remain the same!! Plz H E L P! :D
[HD2 General] Nilee:
maybe u just have to many tabs open.
[HD2 General] Santa-Claus:
Might be a simple problem of memory.

First, you should clean the opera cache once in a while and

second, you should check where you store the opera cache. Things go easier if you put your cache to your SD and do not store it in the main memory of your HD2
[HD2 General] George Coast:
thx.. but how to change the cache to my SD ?
[HD2 General] DJGurth:
Snap

I get this all the time now with the latest versions of opera in the latest roms.

It reallly does my head in hahaha

Not sure what the difference is compared to to older versions

i have reverted to using mobile versions of websites for now.

I Have tried all the tweaks they have no effect including moving the cache to the SD Card

Have you checked the size you have given to the opera cache? This can be changed from something about 500 kb up to nearly 10.000 kb. Probably this helps?

[Nook Color General] EsotericPunk:
I'm curious about rooting the NC. If I root with Auto-nooter and still use the B&N stock launcher, what will be different than if I just left it totally stock? I thought I read something about not being able to buy books through BN anymore... is this true?
[Nook Color General] urbanengine1:
IF you root, you will be able to access the android market and all the apps that come with it like angry birds, kindle reader, youtube, etc.

You CAN still buy books from the bn store. I bought "the girl with the dragon tattoo" just yesterday.

There are however, some cases of bn instore features not working after root, but some people have retained that functionality. So maybe its just luck.

IF you don't root you will have the instore functionality but no market, so no non default apps.

Hope i could help.

EDIT: just reread your post and keeping the default launcher is no different to getting a new one, you just have to reboot to have any new apps you downloaded from the android store show up in the exrtras drawer...

Man that's a mouthful
[Nook Color General] EsotericPunk:
Thanks, that about answers all my questions! Personally, I'm all for switching it to LauncherPro but my wife likes to have it as an e-reader first and tablet second. Me? I just like to hack things! :D
[Nook Color General] cruud:
Its possible to keep all added apps to the extras panel and not use a third party launcher. This way the nook will be nearly identical to stock. Might be nice if one party wants to add apps and the other wants to retain a simple ebook reader.

[Droid 2 Global General] Kenshin-:
Note: I'm hoping this is the correct place for this thread, hopefully others with this same phone would benefit from it, as this sub-forum seems barren of any guides on what I am looking for

After Christmas, I decided to get my first smart phone, the D2G. I ordered it through Newegg and had it linked to a family account on Verizon.

So what I currently have now is Android 2.2, System Version 2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.us, and tons of Verizon branded bloat.

My goal is that I would like to install a vanilla version of gingerbread. Being my first smartphone, and my first time on these forums, I'm greatly lacking in knowledge of these phones and how to get from where I am at to where I want to be. What I do have, however, is an understanding of operating system architecture, UNIX experience and good technical knowledge of PCs. I understand what rooting means, what apps are, what a bootstrap does, however I know nothing of how to get or use these things on this phone, nor any idea where to look for this information. Because this phone is on contract (and thus only paid $150 for it), I'm hoping to minimize the risk of bricking it, or otherwise costing me more money.

What I am looking for: any information/guides/links that will help me to get me from Android 2.2 to a vanilla version of gingerbread on the D2G. From what I have gathered from other threads is that I need to root it (by installing z4root I read), boot in recovery mode, then install ROMs. None of those things I know how to do right now. I suppose helping me learn how to do those would be a great start.

tl;dr I need a layman's guide to get gingerbread on D2G

Thanks in advance for any help :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Spitemare:
To begin you won't be able to get Gingerbread until Motorola releases an update. The Droid 2 (and D2 Global) have a locked bootloader which means the kernel can't be changed except by Motorola. Without a kernel upgrade Gingerbread will remain out of reach.

You can, however, grab some things that have been backported from Gingerbread like the keyboard and theme. As time goes by more and more external things from Gingerbread will become available for non-GB users, but certain things that rely on the GB kernel will be elusive.

Now as for FroYo, there currently isn't a completely working AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM yet. Fission and GummyJAR strip away as much Blur as possible and work towards AOSP. Unleashed, Ultimate Droid, and Tanzanite are all AOSP ROMs in development but are lacking full functionality at the moment. Basically you've got to pick your poison: AOSP-like that works or AOSP that's not quite done.

Given that you have a D2 Global I'd personally hold off on changing ROMs at the moment. The D2G SBF (System Boot File) hasn't been leaked yet so if anything were to go wrong while changing ROMs your phone would be bricked until the SBF is released. A SBF allows you to revert your phone back to its out-of-the-box state should anything go wrong; your phone can be in a boot loop but you can turn it on in a way that will allow you to get things back to square one at least. Without the SBF you're really taking a gamble.
[Droid 2 Global General] Kenshin-:
Alright, so I take it I just got too new of a phone then ~_~

thanks :)
[Droid 2 Global General] rogerdugans:
Don't be too upset that your phone is too new yet...

Just be very careful with what you try for now.

It is just over a year since I got my first Droid and while there were plenty of hacks and roms for that back then, few were really STABLE. It didn't take long before not only were stable roms available, they were far better and included features that were not supposed to be on the phone.

Including overclocking it to twice the stock speed.

The D2G is in a similar place right now but the whole "eFuse" thing makes hacking a lot trickier. Its much easier to brick a D2/DX than an original Droid.

BUt progress is being made and there is little doubt in my mind that all the devs out there will make this phone what it should be just like they did with the Droid.

Gingerbread will get to us eventually, but for now Fission rom has already improved my D2G 100% over stock. :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Kenshin-:
Interested in Fission, but as I have previously stated, I'm quite clueless for the time being :P

Is this something that is safe?
[Droid 2 Global General] rogerdugans:
If you want 100% safe- leave your phone exactly as you received it.

Seriously.

There is risk in doing this stuff, even when we are simply taking advantage of the very risky work done by devs to figure out HOW to modify our phones.

Generally speaking, the longer you wait the less risky it is, but the fact is that there is never ZERO danger to it. Even if all the mods and hacks you use are time tested and there has not been a single bug found by anyone- flashing a rom can go wrong and leave a device bricked.

Even flashing a manufacturer provided BIOS on a computer has risk.

All of that said, if you want to minimize risk, wait just a little while for the bugs to be worked out more thoroughly.

I just saw that there is now an SBF for the D2G last night- that helps provide a buffer for accidents (disaster recovery!) but I don't know how well tested it is. We should know fairly soon- quite a few folks with bricked phones have been waiting for it!

I would say that right now the D2G has risk in the "moderate" range- new phone, not that much dev time, etc.

The only other phone I have personal experience with is the original Droid- risk on that is "minimal." Hard to kill those things.

All that said, I have accepted the risk and did so before the sbf was out. I have had no problems at all so far.

IF you choose to do so, I highly recommend following instructions exactly and making sure you know what you are doing and why.

I don't mean to talk you or anyone else out of improving their smart phone, but I do believe that realistic risk assessment is a wise thing to do before starting. ;)
[Droid 2 Global General] NiceGuysFinishLast:
I used the SBF to flash my phone 2 days ago, with no issues.
[Droid 2 Global General] newk8600:
I have a D2 and I got it pretty new a few months ago it was my first Android phone but I watched the forums and learned as things became available how to do it all. I watched as the device everyone thought wasn't even going to get root access got it, then the ROMs came; it wasn't easy and they aren't like the ROMs that came for previous devices because of the locks Moto put on the phone. But, we were happy with it and I've been pleasantly surprised at what the devs have come up with and have been running custom ROMs so long I don't remember what stock was even like. I just know it wasn't as cool as the custom stuff I'm running.

So hang in there and read all you can about your device or similar devices (D2, DX, DPro) so that when something comes along that you want to try you know what to do to make it work and what to do if it doesn't go as planned.

HI guys,

Something came to my mind and wanted to share it with you...

its how to protect my device after being stolen?

I know there are plenty of apps to find the device( through gps remote activation), to erase the contents and release alerts through different ways.

BUT WHAT IF :confused::confused::confused:

somebody had stolen your phone , pull out the battery, then boot it into download mode (3 buttons combination that every one knows), and finally flashed it with any rom by using ODIN ???????:(:(:(

the question here;

IS THERE ANY WAY TO PASSWORD PROTECT THE ACCESS TO BOTH RECOVERY &/OR DOWNLOAD MODES IN THE DEVICE, SO IT CAN BE USELESS FOR THE THEIF ???

i hope u understand my worry here

cheers

I think that's called STEAM. Go search and read more of it in the development section.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drreality:
sorry mate, forgive my ignorance, but is it an app ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Unless they can change the IMEI then as soon as it is used on

any

network it will be locked and barred by your service provider.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drreality:
but if the developers can restrict the access to the downloading and recovery modes,,,,then its virtually impossible to even change the imei, is it right ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
The IMEI is hard coded and encrypted in your phone.if you mess with the efs folder and the IMEI over there does not match what is hard coded, you get an invalid IMEI and your phone's network capabilities will be limited.

Btw, steam is a sort of recovery.

Description

After flashing this image your device will permanently use ClockworkMod recovery version 3 with kernel 2.6.32. If you didn't understand that sentence, close this browser window right now.

Download

ClockworkMod recovery v3.0.2.8

Install

You can only install this recovery if you've successfully written the S-OFF bootloader by Alpharev. For the fake-flash solution read the next post.

In fastboot mode:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-3028.img

You could also use flash_image:

adb push cwm-recovery-3028.img /sdcard
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwm-recovery-3028.img
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Changelog:

3.0.2.8: Various changes

3.0.2.4: Back button mapped to back again

3.0.1.4: Added sd-ext to recovery.fstab

Recovery for S-ON (compiled by BlaY0)

Also known as update.zip and fake-flash. Just put it into the root of your sd-card and ROM-Manager will do the rest for you.

[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
You can use 2.5 with S-OFF too, doesn't make a difference.

It's for those who really want the whole S-OFF/custom recovery/custom android experience (like Nexus One or Nexus S).

The .29 kernel used in 2.5 doesn't support ext4 though, so if you want to experiment with ext4 on your device you will need a kernel that supports it.
