You actually said quite everything I was thinking about this phone. I had one for 30mins and I actually prefer my x10 to it since I'm waiting for a phone that is REALLY better to change.

Really didn't know that my experience with Samsung was based off the fascinate and Samsung support was lack there of. But it makes sense it's a Google phone so it will get the updates quicker..duh. lol wasn't thinking.
[General Questions and Answers] Akulamenuri:
I think the Nexus S will make a very little splash compared with the Nexus One. When the N1 came out it featured hardware many had never seen before (One of the first phones with a 1ghz processor, I believe the only one that came before it was the HD2 in Europe). The Nexus S is laughable by comparison and I will tell you why.

-It has the nearly same specs as Galaxy S devices

It it bad enough that this phone did not live up to expectations by using the same hardware that existing phones already have, it makes the situtation worst when every major U.S. carrier ALREADY has a variant of nearly the same hardware.

-No Micro SD card slot

I feel this will be the future but there is a small problem with this. The Galaxy S line has 16gb of onboard storage AND a Micro SD slot, why take something away?

-No Notification Light

On my phone when I recieve and SMS or E-Mail my notification light starts blinking to let me know I have something to check. On this device (as well as SGS variants) you have no Notification Light so you must hit the power button just to check to see if you have a notification.

-It only uses T-Mobile's 3g band (in the US)

With Google's advertising campaign they are obviously taking a page out of Apple's playbook (If you have seen the commercial you know what I am talking about). The Nexus One was available on At&t so it provided users an alternative to getting an iPhone to get the best hardware and software Android has to offer (at the time of the initial launch anyway). If the first Nexus device had At&t 3g bands then surely Google would want to compete with Apple again right, wrong! Why take an Apple-esque approach to an Ad campaign and not compete on the same carrier?

-No HSPA+

We have already addressed this only has 3g on T-Mobile. T-Mobile has been rolling out HSPA+ pretty aggressively as of late to try to compete with WiMax and the soon to be LTE devices. You would think Google's premier device would be rocking the new 4g data speeds but surprising it isn't. The G2 and MyTouch 4G take advantage of HSPA+ but the supposed "Pure Google" device doesn't, horrible.

The selling points of the Nexus S aren't very strong to the average consumer. NFC is nearly useless right now outside of scanning Google provided material. "Pure Google" is probably the worst niche of all. The majority of consumers that buy Android devices do not know the advantages of Pure Google or know the difference betweens Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread. To make matters worst the consumers who do know the advantages of a "Pure Google" experience stray away from the Nexus S because they realize the hardware isn't much better than their existing devices. At&t, Sprint, and Verizon customers aren't going to switch because they have a similar device without switching carriers and T-Mobile customers will get the more mainstream, HSPA+ touting MyTouch 4g. I think the Nexus One should have been the device sold in stores and the Nexus S should have been the device sold online only.

Rant, Fin.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /b/rotherJudas:
I don't know what's going on, and I've been searching for an answer to this for the past 2 hours. I have the latest SDK installed. I'm running the cm7 alpha build, latest one. ADB seems to work just fine. I just typed

adb reboot bootloader

bam, my mt4g is in fastboot mode.

I then typed

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

and fastboot is not a recognized internal or external command, operable or batch file.

Seriously getting frustrated. I'm gonna smoke a bowl and come back a little more calm. lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11228290/fastboot

Put that in c:\windows\system32

then try your command again.

And then ship the bowl this way. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /b/rotherJudas:
I'm about to try this. If it works I'm gonna kiss you. Its been hell and a half trying to find this answer. lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /b/rotherJudas:
No go. Still the same error.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
oh. My bad, thats the linux version. You need the windows version. I have a .bat for that.

Just run the file called adbonly.bat

and feel free to look through the file if you get scared that it asks for admin rights. Just needs to be elevated to write to system32. Then you can run your command from anywhere.

I actually made this as part of a seperate project, but it comes in handy if you need adb and fastboot quick and convenient like.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /b/rotherJudas:
I finally figured this out. When the sdk updated (changing ADBs location from \sdk\tools\ to \sdk\platform-tools\ it didn't move fastboot.exe or any other files. All I had to do was cut all the files from \tools\ and paste to \platform-tools\

Hopefully this wont cause more problems down the line, which it ALWAYS does with winblows. Lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
Yeah that happens. But I swear my .bat would have worked too. lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /b/rotherJudas:
I'm sure it would have. After running your cm7 rom I have total faith. I just didn't want to edit too many system folders on this craptop. Its my 4 year old sisters. Lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdug:
Thank you so much. I spent an hour last night trying to get clockwork on my friends MT4G and had the same problem.

Looked at my comp when I read this post this morning and that was it, fastboot was still in the old tools folder.

Don't you love how "correcting" our state of mind can change how we see things.

Thanks again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /b/rotherJudas:
Yeah, lol. I knew it would be something stupid like that. I'm not sure if my environmental variable was set up wrong or what. I have it set to C:\AndroidzSDK\

Should I set it to C:\AndroidSDK\tools\

Or maybe

C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\

?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
So I'm just now installing the SDK on my gf's computer and it puts ADB in /tools and Fastboot in /platform-tools. Fastboot refuses to run.

This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

What's this about?? I downloaded the sdk.zip (the installer exe wanted me to install the java jdk, which I definitely don't need) and extracted it to C:\android-sdk-windows. Then I ran the SDK manager and installed the platform tools. Should I copy the platform-tools contents into tools or the other way around?

And why would they give me an SDK with a non-working fastboot? Kinda pissed right now...

EDIT - Copied contents of \platform-tools into \tools (DID NOT REPLACE ANY FILES!) and now everything works.

I would still like to know what was going on with this, and is there any advantage to adding the environment variable? I'd like to be able to run commands from any directory if possible, instead of having to cd all over the place.

Here is my setup.

WM: stock hk rom 1.72.831.1

Radio: 2.08.50.05

Andriod: MDJ Froyo Sense Clean v2.4

Telstra HD2 T9193

Initial it seemed worked pretty well. I didn't reboot for > 11 days. However, as I used it more. I found more problems.

The touch screen sometimes wasn't able to come out of sleep after idling. I tried to press some button to bring up the screen, the buttons lighted up but the screen stayed blank. I think the backlight was on too.

I found that some people have the same problem just no explanation nor solution. Can anyone help me? I want to switch to android for good but this seems to come up randomly hindering the migration.

I am looking for a stable android build too. NAND, RAM, SDCard are fine with me. Any suggestion? Thanks!

Hello!

I'm creating a ROM Updater for fun and to learn something about Android developing. So far I did the following:

- ROM mod and version detection

- JSON-based ROM repositories with full and incremental updates (automatically selectable if there is the proper update from version to version), changelog etc.

- optional extra files to download when you select the file you want to download the mod version

- download of the files with a progress bar

- all in professional-looking ListViews :P

------------------

NOW... I need to know how can I set the recovery in order to automatically execute backups / zip flashes when you reboot in recovery mode. How can I do that? And how can I reboot the system in recovery mode?

Thanks :)

[EVO 4G General] Goldreef:
Hey guys, first time poster long time lurker here lol, Anyways, today I rooted my EVO via the new Unrevoked version, everything went smooth, flashed Cyanogen from Rom Manager, all was good but I noticed maps/market were missing. I started messing with the phone to the point where is now sitting on the white htc evo 4g loader screen, and it wont go past that.

I have access to the hboot screen but aside from that that's it. I've tried pretty much all the options in recovery mode to no avail. I believe my problem is that I deleted the OS and my phone has nothing to boot to.

Any help will be greatly appreciated :o

Some info about the phone:

Hardware version 0003

2.15.00.11.19

3.70.651.1
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM? Or a different one? Or re-downloading the same one to make sure it didn't get corrupted? Have you done a full wipe (cache and data)?

If you can get into recovery, it usually is possible to get back in business somehow.
[EVO 4G General] mroneeyedboh:
Try getting into recovery from the hboot screen. Then wipe everything twice and then reflash your rom.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A kernel connects the application software to the hardware of a computer.

In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components).[1] Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.

Operating system tasks are done differently by different kernels, depending on their design and implementation. While monolithic kernels execute all the operating system code in the same address space to increase the performance of the system, microkernels run most of the operating system services in user space as servers, aiming to improve maintainability and modularity of the operating system.[2] A range of possibilities exists between these two extremes.

Been having the same issue with Nero v3. And I can confirm that for the first several days of v3 it was working fine, and then it went kuput. I know I'm only adding to list of people looking for a fix, but at the very least want to let the OP know they're not alone with this issue. I don't believe it is ROM specific.:confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofskywalker3:
I do have a few things i've picked up over the past week, because i'm aware of the problem, but not how to fix it.

1. Some people have reported that by using odin to revert to stock they can then get rom manager working.

2. rom manager does successfully download my manifest, but it errors out while trying to process it.

3. it's nothing wrong with my manifest, because i have changed all the entries for the vibrant over to fascinate and the fascinate reads it fine

4. I have tried contacting koush, but haven't gotten any help.

This info leads me to two possible conclusions:

1. It's a problem with something in some custom roms (including Blackhole) that prevents rom manager from using something it needs to read the javascript on the vibrant

2. It's a problem with the rom manager software, either the version you have, or just on the vibrant in general.

some info that might help me fix this:

1. if anyone can get me a logcat of while the problem happens, i may be able to see what the issue is

2. if someone can tell me the rom manager version, it may be an older one and i can post the latest from the fascinate, which might help.

also i'm going to try to release a 2.0 beta based on JL5 later this week which may or may not fix these issue. and i'm going to continue to hope for help from koush.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quest4fire:
Thanks SonofSkywalker. Really appreciate it. Love your work. I'm busy right now but hopefully I can find time to do a logcat in a couple days.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quest4fire:

So I decided to restore my backups I had of Macnut R14 and Nero to see if I could download your ROM and was unable to, same error message. Then my phone got corrupted because of restoring the backups. I Odin back to stock 2.1 JFD and now I am able to download your ROM in CWM. So I dont think its a CWM issue. Unfortunately I lost my logcat because i had it inside my phone, was using a Logcat app from the market because I was having trouble getting my ADB server starting.

I had the same issue and I was able to get Rom Manager working again by performing the following steps:

1) Clear the cache from the Rom Manager app (under Settings/Applications/Manage Applications)

2) From within Rom Manager run "Fix Permissions"

3) Reboot (which you're prompted to do when the "Fix Permissions" step is completed anyway)

This has worked for me twice.
