[Android Software Development] yahooserious:
I accidentally used the wrong primary email address when i set up my Axura rom and now I cant get a fair number of paid apps back without switching the primary account for my captivate. Will using the factory data reset while running a custom rom send my CAPPY into a coma?

Another issue that is getting on my nerves is while I am on a call and a text or another phone call comes in the phone announces the caller and generally ruins my conversation by informing me of a new call/text. How on earth do I stop this notification?! Im using Axura froyo on Captivate.

thank you kindly!

Y!S
[Android Software Development] yahooserious:
Come on guys can someone tell me if i can safely factory reset without bricking my device?
[Android Software Development] yahooserious:
Did I really hit bone deep on this question? does nobody know the awnser to this query?
[Android Software Development] xScopex:
Why don't you just clear data in recovery?
[Android Software Development] yahooserious:
If that is the safe way to go then that is certainly what I will do.. is it indeed the safe way? I appreciate your help!
[Android Software Development] webstar1:
I think u will get more answers in your own forum, and a factory reset I don't think will harm your galaxy as all it does is reset your information, and galaxy phones are nearly impossible to brick anyways.
[About XDA developers] Neotelos_com:
I couldn't get a chance to see which ad it was as they are dynamic, but an ad for AVScan hijacked my browsing when on XDA.

To me, this is a big deal and if it happened on my website, I'd be charging after someone - an on a decent website, I would personally be looking for compensation from the advertising provider or the advertising client who hijacked my site.

Sorry for posting here, I want this to be heard and not sure where to post!
[About XDA developers] illogic6:
I had the same problem. I was browsing XDA like normal yesterday and I got redirected to some page. I wish I saved the URL. Chrome gave me the malicious site warning thankfully.
[About XDA developers] Captainkrtek:
Thank you for reporting this, Im notifying the proper people.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
We take this very very seriously. Unfortunately, it's also very very difficult to pinpoint the cause of it. We pretty much only use two or three different ad networks (the largest, by far, of which is AdSense). I've yelled at several people about this, and I'm hoping it's taken care of. If it keeps happening, try to send me a screenshot of the ad that you think is causing the issue (or just PM me the domain it's linking to).

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience. We do everythign we can to avoid these issues of course!
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i use handcent... not sure when it started but my texts make no sound anymore. i vibrate, pop ups work, volume is maxed but i get nothing. checked settings, reinstalled handcent and rebooted the phone but nothing is working
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
What happens when you "test notification" from within the handcent settings?
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
all i get is the vibration and the screen notification. double checked that the ringer tone is selected
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Strange, I use handcent and the only other thing I can think of is to make sure the stock messaging app is set to not notify you.

Sent from my Emotionlessly Bonsai'd Epic 4g.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
missed a stupid notification setting. they really need to integrate these better. need to check 3 different places to make sure everything is right
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Yeah, that one has gotten me before. Oh well, the price to pay for a substantially better messaging app!

Hello! I just got my DHD and I got many question about it, lets start.

1) I got latest firmware: 1.72.405.3 and have understood that it's not possible to root it because of security? How can I downgrade so I root my DHD?

2) How do I root my DHD after downgrade?

3) What is S-OFF / S-ON? Everyone is talking about it.

4) What is HBOOT and how can I do it?

5) What is the best rom where I got HTC Sense without to many bugs / glitches?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seba84_2005:
If you are not S-OFF you can't downgrade to the previous firmware.

S-OFF This is securie for flash not-original firmware or downgrade.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3421465:
So I don't have S-OFF because I just updated my phone right after I got it in my hands, right?

So there is no way back now? Could I check if I got it S-OFF somehow?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seba84_2005:
If nothing did with the system files, you are sure have the S-ON.

To check:

1:Turn off your phone (U must have off: fastboot in setting menu -> applications)

2:Press and hold "volemu down" and "power" key

3:You see bootloader and on top inscription S-ON

To have S-OFF you must have a root... :cool:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3421465:

Is that just the rom from HTC or is it modified?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seba84_2005:
Is that rom from HTC.

OTA = small update file

RUU = full firmware

RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE is for not branded phones.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:

[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I have Facebook 1.5, which supports push notification for comments on my wall and chat. However, yesterday I went on Facebook's site and saw that someone had commented on something I had posted, but I had never received the push notification for that from the app! Then today, I was Facebook chatting with a friend on my computer, but my phone Facebook app was not notifying me as it had done faithfully since I updated my Facebook app.

Chat notifications don't come through unless I start the app and go into chat. After I exit, notifications go through until the chat ends. But they are supposed to come up without my starting the app.

I rebooted my Droid to see if that would clear things up, but it obviously has not.

Please advise.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
ive had the same problems forever. the only fix i've found for the chat issue is Go!Chat and for the fb notifications, f+ tool
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I'm so desperate, I'll give your F+ app a try. It can't hurt.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
Problem with f+, it pops up a message at the bottom of the screen saying my Facebook session is invalid, even though I am logged in and the message will not go away, even when I exit the app.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
never had that happen to me :\ although f+ never worked 100% of the time, just more often than fb app did. i said screw it and got rid of f+ too, just edited my fb settings so i recieve an email for every notification, that way i get notified thru gmail on my phone.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
I unisntalled f+ because all it does is notifications and I can't follow my time line on the Facebook app because they can't both be logged in simultaneously.

Email is an option of course, but I really like the push noficiations better.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
yeah me too, sucks that the most popular website on the internet and the most popular smartphone OS cant be completely syncronized, i mean seriously, somebody shoulve made something by now to do this and do it well.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
It does! I hate to say it, but the BlackBerry app was a million tmes better than the Facebook one because it consistenltly delivered push notifications.
[EVO 4G General] coonhound:
first off i'm an amateur. but i just installed the newest unrevoked flash (v3.3) for my evo. then i downloaded rom manager, and ended up flashing to the cyanogen mod. but, now my phone is stuck in some sort of reboot were the cyanogen mod is trying to load but won't. anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? :eek:

nevermind, thanks though.
[HTC Aria General] Tx Redneck:
But I'm having random freezes/crashes, especially when I watch an embedded youtube vid.

What's the best way to troubleshoot?

TIA,

[HTC Aria General] brswattt:
Make sure when you flashed from the stock rom, you wiped data, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik cache. If not, do it and reinstall.
[HTC Aria General] Tx Redneck:
I didn't do that because I was afraid to loose apps that I already had and didn't know how to recover stuff once the flash is done.
[HTC Aria General] aaron.a:
try MyBackup Root

i'm about to find out how well it preforms after wiping and installing a new rom. i'll let you know.
[HTC Aria General] aaron.a:
so i went from liberated froyo fr008 to cm6-6.1.1 and it appears to have restored all my apps + data + settings as best it could considering its a little different from the sense system.

apps work, settings work. the app worked =D
[HTC Aria General] Tx Redneck:
I would like to have a clean install(see no ATT bloat) but not have to go through and configure everything. What's gonna be the most stable Rom?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Based on your original post, since you are rooted and running FR008, then you already have a very stable ROM with HTC Sense and does not have any AT&T bloat on it.

It looks like the mistake you made as far as stability goes is that you did not perform a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before you flashed FR008 in hopes of keeping your apps and settings. I suggest you bit the bullet and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then reinstall your apps and you'll have a very STABLE environment.
[HTC Aria General] Tx Redneck:
Lemme ask this, right after rooting and running nandroid, I pulled the the sd card and copied its entire contents(at east as much as Win would "see", not sure about any additional partitions) to my lappy.

If I do a clean install by wiping all factory data, cache partition and dalvik, will I be able to restore any items from that copy I made?

Please forgive me for teh newb questions. I can fix a puter all day long, this android stuff is greek to me. :p
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
If you did a nandroid backup to your SD card, yes nandroid has an advanced restore option where you can selectively restore different partitions from the backup, such as boot, system, data, cache, etc. although I have never tried it.
[HTC Aria General] bcarruth62:
Rooted last night with the Liberated FR008 rom and everything seemed to go smoothly, now though my browsers won't stay open. If I try to go from a link in an email the browser will open then close, pretty much same thing when I just open the browser. Any ideas why this is happening?

Browsers tried: Default, Dolphin HD, xScope

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] originalmachine:
I remember there being a kernel or Rom that boosts fps in 3d games. I can't seem to find it now. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Reason I ask is I play pocket legends and some maps lag even with a good ping.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
i'm not sure which ones do but you are looking for a kernel with GPU+ in it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] originalmachine:
I found what I was talking about with your help. I installed 2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010_signed. I did a before and after play through of AO3 in pocket legends. There is a instant noticeable difference in how smooth the gameplay is. I was skeptical at first but this new kernel actually does help 3d games. I can't comment much on other features of the kernel, since I haven't used it enough yet.

Thanks for the help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
no problem, I forgot to add, make sure you flash the correct kernel, AOSP or Sense, whichever rom it is that you use.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onumchuxo:
does incrediblek have gpu+ or no?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
It doesn't list GPU+ under features. I'm running incrediblek at stock speeds and my 3D games seem good to me. But maybe I've never tried a kernel with GPU+
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onumchuxo:
hm well i have seen a boost in 3d performance thats why i was wondering, and i know the sense version does

This question may have been answered before but I just cant find it here.

I tried rooting my vibrant with the classic method described here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479&highlight=issues+rooting+vibrant

It didn’t work and I got the following message:

E: can’t open /sd card/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted

I copied the update.zip file in DCIM of internal memory card and was still getting the same message.

I copied the update.zip file into my sd card and still got the same message.

I followed the steps exactly as they have been described in the rooting thread.

I haven't tried the one click root method yet.

Would anyone know what seems to be the problem.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
You have to replace the update.zip file and flash it with recovery.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Are you saying I have to replace with a new update.zip file and repeat the method again?

I was doing it in recovery mode.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Use the one click method. You can find all the info on unlockr.com in the--how to -- (they have a nice video) If it doesn't work then you will need to flash back the T959UVJFD stock through Odin. Look in the bible or search in this website.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
Why is your update.zip in DCIM? Download that one from the forum post, rename it to update.zip, and copy it to the root directory of your sd card.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Yea replace the update.zip with a modified one that gives you root access. Its should be on the bible(stickie post) and Recovery mode is correct.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Can you explain what is the root directory of internal sd card where I need to place the update.zip file?

Now my computer isn't recognizing the phone when I mount the sd card. It tries to install drivers for the phone and can not.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Ok, by root directory they just mean the internal 16gb memory.

Ok look, download update.zip. Rename it to "update" without the quotation marks. If you are running windows 7 you dont have to add ".zip" windows knows it is a .zip file, so again just name it update and windows and your phone will automatically know it is update.zip. maybe the problem is you are naming it "update.zip" and your phone is reading it as "update.zip.zip"

Anyways, I don't know why your drivers don't work, but once you get your computer to recognize your phone. Mount your phone to your computer.

Then go to your internal memory, the 16gb one, not the external sd card.

Now, DON'T GO INTO any folders, the root is just the internal memory, again don't go into any folders. Place the "update" file into the internal memory, don't place it into any folder.

Reboot your phone into recovery mode, and then reinstall packages.

good luck.
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
Nevermind. But thanks alot for your response and help. After looking around to find some alternative ways to root..I finally was able to root my vibrant using the method described

HERE

In the end, rooting was as easy as installing a simple app.

Now im going to do some research on ROMs and hopefully flash before doing titanium backup.:)
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Ok, make sure you do lots of research. Read the bible, every last word of it.

Don't ever try to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 without having the proper 2.1 kernal, becareful with lagfix such as voodoo, and learn odin.

good luck
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
I have run into another issue. I can not mount my phone to computer.

With USB Debugging off... I dont even get a notification in the slide down menu asking me to either mount/unmount.

With USB Debugging on... I do get the option in slidedown menu to mount my phone. At the same time the computer shows a pop up message asking me to install driver software for Samsung_Android. In the meantime , I press mount sd card which by the way is still not recognized by the computer.

I dont have the driver for samsung_android to install on the computer.

Does anyone know a potential fix for this situation.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the EVO handles POP email better than the Epic?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conio_boy:
Just a question regarding upgrading from a one ROM to another ROM, can we like preserve the applications that we had install in our phone so that we don't have to reinstall them again? Or we have to reinstall everything? What about paid applications does market automatically knows that you've purchase the app already? Thanks...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
You can use an app called Titanium Backup to save copies of your applications and their settings. Then restore them back again on the new ROM. Usually the apps restore automatically anyway once you enter your google account details onto the phone, it will download all the apps you had installed previously. If you do it this way all your settings will be lost though.

And yes, market will remeber what apps you purchased.

Did you do the G Sensor fix after installing 3.1.4? I believe that supplement is the new fix so if you ran another fix on top of it you may have unfixed it

The full screen issue is more to do with the native res of the display and Nvidia drivers than the accelerometer. I can not play the game since the touch points of the icons are off, so it is a semi-guessing game of what you are pressing.
