yeah ive looked there.all over the vodafone website.cant find support for the defy.

i havent registered my number with vodafone.maybe if i do that they will send me settings.:(
[Defy General] Step666:
You shouldn't need the settings sent to you.

If it's a Vodafone locked/branded handset then the settings should be pre-loaded and if it's an unlocked/unbranded handset then it should configure itself automatically when you put the SIM in (that's what my phone did anyway).

If you go into Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names, is there anything there?

Your last option would be to manually enter the settings I guess.
[Droid 2 General] tjcooper17:
I've stumbled into a really big problem with my Motorola Milestone 2. Basically, it's stuck in a boot loop, it comes up with the Motorola M, then the purple animation behind it, then it vibrates and starts the animation again. It just loops this. I've looked on a number of other threads but none have helped yet.

I've tried:

Power + X and doing a factory reset (Didn't Work)

Power + X and wiping cache (Didn't Work)

RSD Lite + http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 but the start button remains greyed out even when the phone's in bootloader mode.

Thanks in Advance,

Tristan
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You might need to try flashing the SBF in linux. You don't have to install it on your computer you can just run a live cd and try it from a live session. or run it under windows and try it like that. (when you put in the live cd it will ask you if you want to try it).

You can follow my tutorial for the D2 just remember to replace the SBF in that tut to your SBF and the command will change aswell.

Here's the Tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804088

You don't have to use the liveCD I customized you can use any ubuntu or linux live cd. you just have to have the sbf_flash file in the home directory and the phone specific SBF in the same location.
[Droid 2 General] tjcooper17:
Ok, thanks. I'll download the Ubuntu LiveCD later and try it
[Droid 2 General] tjcooper17:
When I run sudo ./sbf_flash xxx.sbf I get :

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Why is this? Could it be because I'm running the LiveCD on USB?
[Droid 2 General] tjcooper17:
Right, I just installed Ubuntu onto my system, alongside Windows 7. However when I follow the instructions on the thread you linked to I get a Segmentation Fault at "sudo ./sbf_flash xxxx.sbf" bit. It's a slightly different error to when I was running the LiveCD. What can I do to fix this?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
There's something wrong with the Livecd because everyone who has tried it lately has been getting that I'm going to be making another upgraded one soon. Did you install my livecd to your computer or an official ubuntu livecd? If it was mine I would try a different one and see if that works. If not then the sbf_flash file is messed up which doesn't make sense because I've used that exact file on my ubuntu setup and have sucessfully flashed my phone.

I'm sorry this is a lot more of a headache then I had originally implied. Linux is usually a lot easier than windows but there is something I am overlooking that's causing the segfault.
[Droid 2 General] tjcooper17:
I used the Official Ubuntu LiveCD and the sbf_flash file you posted. I'm looking into getting a replacement because I think it is unfixable now because I tried another method of flashing, and now I get a white screen which goes to black instead of the Motorola Logo, however the bootloader still loads but the android recovery (Power + X) thing doesnt.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
After you flash you need to wipe data and cache in the stock recovery. That will fix a bootloop.
[Droid 2 General] cyaniris:
If I would like to use sbf_fllash, which version of Ubuntu should I have? 64bit or 32bit?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
It shouldn't matter because a 32-bit sbf_flash file should work on 64-bit or 32-bit.
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
What should i do?? Whenever i try and flash small mods i get "Installation aborted" :(
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
There should be other messages on the screen before the abort message. What do they say?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
it may have to do with how they are signed,
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I dont think so because in the thread that i got them from no one else talks about no being able to flash and it is with more than one thing...

It says installing sdcard/x.zip

finding update package...

opening update package...

E: Can't ppen sdcard/x.zip (bad)

installation aborted
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
check the MD5 of the .zips?
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
I have no idea what that is.. And i dont think anything is wrong with the files, because wouldnt other post in that thread saying they also have a problem?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Personally, I still think the issue is that you're trying to use the wrong menu option in CWM. You shouldn't be picking "apply sdcard:update.zip" you should be picking "install zip from sdcard". Is that what you're doing?

MD5 is a checksum program that let's you check to make sure your downloaded file has not been changed from what the author of the file originally made. This protects you from download corruption (though zip in and of itself tends to do that) and from some man in the middle adding/changing the files before they get to you.

Most ROM devs will include an md5 hash tag on the page you're getting the rom file from.

Easy to use, you can do it from the command line on a Mac or Linux, or you can get an app on any OS that lets you point to the file and paste in the hash tag, then you let the app compare for a match. It's worth checking out, or at least re-downloading the file if using md5 is too complicated.

Others won't complain if their download wasn't corrupted...

[Android Software Development] Ambious:
Hello :-)

I'm planning to write a program that will interact with an active Android phone (Leo specifically). I plan to do this using ADB (since it fulfills exactly what I need to do), but I'm not comfortable having to open a program shell every time, it's not really an efficient and fail-safe method of doing things.

I noticed that the ADB files in the SDK come with two dll files called adbWinApi and AdbWinUsbApi, but I couldn't import them to Visual Studio, so I'm guessing they can't be used as external resources (or they can and I'm just too ignorant). Anyway, I found no resources on how to use them, so I'm guessing adb.exe uses them, and unless someone can reverse engineer them for me and found the references I need to use, they're useless.

Does anyone have an idea how to interface with an Android device programatically? Using C# preferably, but any open 'handle' I can use would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] benjymous:

[Android Software Development] Ambious:

Thanks for the great find!
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
And why to reverse engineer a part of an open source project? O_o Android is open, you know ;-)

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/system/core.git;a=tree;f=adb
[Android Software Development] Ambious:
LOL, true. But is the SDK?
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I think so, I have linked ADB sources above. Maybe these sources are for adbd daemon on a phone only, but even if, then you have docs about adb protocol in OVERVIEW.TXT and SERVICES.txt files.
[Android Software Development] Ambious:
True, and I also noticed the ADB client emulates TCP anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to replicate and 'hook in'. Thanks for the tip
[Desire HD General] mjehan:
Usually when i check the history of my battery consumption the display takes the biggest chunk (abt 70%).

Recently i have started to notice that cellphone standby and phone idle take 20% and 15% respectively. Is this normal ?

I have no CPU issue or any syncing issues. Normally i have syncing, WiFi and 3g turned off when the phone is not in use or when i sleep.
[Desire HD General] Wil-j:
Ofc it's normal if you've been using the phone less so the screen is on for a lower % of the time and doesn't use the battery as much. And the fact that this has recently started to happen suggests that as the device isn't so new anymore you are playing less with it :p
[Desire HD General] i1magic:
If you set the backlight to Auto ... it would be the case.

For me .. by just setting the display to lowest backlight setting .... the power consumption for display drops to about 35%.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Logisys:
hi, as stated in the question; can i move around the icons in the screen or move them to folders.. for e.g i would like to move the skype which is found in the main home screen to connectivity folder.. is it possible? if so how.

effort would be much appreciated

thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] GbNoR:
Sure you can.

If you use Total Commander or File Explorer, and open up the Windowsfolder on

your phone, scroll down to the Start menu folder, open it, then open

Programs folder, there you will find Skype -->Highlight it

then Menu -->Edit-->Cut

and Past it in the folder you want it in.

Hello,

I've got a bricked Leo. I've bought it with the description that has fallen down, and doesn't work any more.

Actually the display and the digitizer is fine, but the flex board is cut and it doesn't boot any more. Via USB it is recognized as "Qualcomm CDMA...". I guess it's flashed with a wrong radio as it is the US version.

Can someone tell me what I've to do via JTAG to restore it? Just delete an part of the ROM? Or load the bootloader to a specific address in RAM and start it from there to flash a valid ROM?

I've got the knowledge to solder such fine pitch parts and also have a JTAG adapter that works with open OCD, but don't know what to do in that case.

Maybe someone from Germany is reading this, who has the knowledge and the technique, who I can send the mainboard to flash it.

I would be very glad if someone could help me with this!

[Legend General] smartsreenath:

[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
I presume you're not rooted, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this.

In that case you have two options:

option A: RUU file that will upgrade your unrooted phone to Froyo, but it will also upgrade your HBOOT making future rooting more complicated, not to mention S-OFF.

option B: Root your phone and take your pick at any ROM you'll find here or anywhere else. Most of them are based on Froyo nowadays...

If you choose option B, search, read carefully about rooting and installing ROMs...

howgh :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wardy257:
Hello,

I currently own a HTC Touch HD and I hate it with a passion. It is slow, bugy, the screen goes from to sensitive to unresponsive is a millisecond so it is nealry impossible to scroll down the contacts without picking the wrong one or flying past the one you want etc. When I first got it I had a lot of problems with it connection to the 3G all by itself although that is mostly under control now. I have no real issues with the Windows operating system but it is clearly out of date these days.

My question is the Desire HD everything that my Touch HD wasn't? Is is quick, smooth, easy to use and so? Is the touch screen on a par with an IPOD Touch?
