[myTouch 3G Slide General] h8dannyboy:
Just putting this out there as a useful tool to manage apps, file and other hard to reach folders. I've been modding and rooting phones since my first G1. I can even go back further to my first phone I modded was a HTC Excalibur/TMobile"Dash" (4/5 years ago). I personally get lost once in awhile trying to remember all the adb codes and/or I mess up a lot trying.

For me it’s easier to:

1. Connect my phone

2. Use Droid Explorer (like windows explorer) to explore/manage files,	folders, and/or apps

* I pretty much drag and drop from my desktop to the appropriate folder on my phone... I did this for fixing my wifi tether issue from Forum: (HOW-TO] Wifi Fix for CM6 [1/2/2011]). I can push/copy/backup/delete: apps, files, and folders to and from my desktop. Instead of using adb commands.*

****Some roms for some reason dont always let me use Root explorer or Titainium Backup to remove apps. If you have this problem managing files/apps/folders, you may have to used Droid explorer while phone is in Recover Mode****

3. Reboot into Recovery Mode

4. Mount system, data, or cache partitions (An Option in a Sub-Menus in ClockworkRecovery Mode)

5. When done, reboot the phone

Just thought I'd share especially for newbies and those who are looking for easier way to access protected folders

To Download:

google "codeplex droid Explorer"

:( Since this is my first post, XDA wont let me post outside links... sorry.

I am no way responsible for you damaging/bricking your phone

Luckily, I finally got ADB set up on my new laptop and was able to take care of it through there. Shame...
[Epic 4G General] ajbent86:
I use a lot of data for content streaming. At work I have low signal (1 bar) and sometimes the networks changes to 1x Data. (Yes, I know the epic doesn’t indicate it, but I can tell by the reduced bandwidth and about 3 second drop of all data when the switch is made.

I’ve noticed that if someone calls while on 1x data, the calls go straight to voicemail, it does not ring at all.

Is there a way to set the phone to 3G data only? And if there is no 3G available, drop the data connection?

Short recap: I Want 3G Data only. If not available, no data connection at all. Wi-Fi is not an option at my office nor is 4G.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
You're going to need your 6 digit MSL (master subsidy lock) code.

Go to phone, ##DEBUG# (##33284#), enter MSL, scroll down to

HDR/1X Selection

,

EVDO Only Mode

, Ok.
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
is this setting like the old school days 6700/6800, where as if you set/force your phone to "EVDO Only Mode", you will lose Text/Voice since those only work on 1x.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Can't really tell, never left my Epic on EVDO only mode (don't need/want to). The Mogul (6800) is one phone i really don't want to remember.

Doesn't hurt to be a guinea pig though in this particular case.. :p
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
lol...yea those setting were nice if the phone would bonce back and forth 1x/EVDO and you needed EV to stick and did not care about phone calls or also if you were downloading a big file and did not want to be disconnected by a call 8)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Fairtrade128:
Ok, this is starting to get incredibly frustration. This morning, i started the download for puzzle quest 2. the game downloaded at a normal pace, but has been stuck for hours at "installing application"

I really have no idea what to do. I've tried turning off and on the phone, taking out the battery. i've even managed to get the download to restart several times. but..its still there. and it still gets stuck at "installing application".

any ideas?

the only option left that i can think of is a hard reset...and i don't want to do that.

also, i've been looking around and have yet to find anyone with this same issue. which is particularily unnerving. i have a samsung focus with a pny class 4 8gb sd card.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
my little sister had this. the way i got it to work was to put the phone on charge, do the download over wifi, and make sure the screen doesn't go to standby. it appeared to work for her device. though she has a mozart. try it and let me know.

can you tap-hold on it and cancel/delete the install and try it again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fairtrade128:
what i ended up doing was just wait long enough and i guess it managed to install.

still though. the issue is bothering. i'm beginning to suspect that my sd card has some errors on it. perhaps some bad clusters? i really don't know about those sort of things.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
what was the app and how big was it? the app my sister was trying to install was guitar hero 5... it's massive to download... massive to install.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fairtrade128:
puzzle quest 2. its a pretty big one as far as i know.

i'm trying to dl guitar hero now. we'll see how long it takes...

hey guys i was running a different android rom on my hd2 everything worked except i kept having the robot sound issue. so i just decided to switch roms. which worked great except now my setcpu doesn't seem to be opperating properly. the only time it will stay to the mhz i set is on powersave(which keeps it at 245mhz) which is fine for standby but pretty terrible when it come to using the phone. i tried making profiles etc, but nothing seems to keep it to the restrictions i have set. i have heard this can be a kernel issue? i tried looking up the setcpu site. but wasnt finding the answer i need. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

So android is not better than the iphone? How and when did this happen.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list

So does that mean that there are 5998 reasons why the iPhone is better than Android?
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah and it's HORRIBLE. I had a date with a really cute girl who just so happened to be the daughter of one of my colleagues, and I was texting my buddy about her, she got one of my texts to him and cancelled the date on me. To make matters worse, she told her dad and he made a comment to me about it. Now, I'm always nervous about sending private texts to people for fear that they are going to go to someone else. It is completely inexcusable and needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Both issues are "inexcusable"

Although I will tell you that I've NEVER had the issue with ANY SMS program besides the stock one.
[EVO 4G General] TheMagicalSock:
I've had consistent SMS issues with CM6. I really hope Gingerbread will have fixed these issues, but I have to doubt it.
[EVO 4G General] Cy_n_ic:
Both os's are going to have their unique flaws that come and go. At least on android we can fix alot of issues ourselves (not that we should have to but we wanna get **** done son!)
[EVO 4G General] roscoenr:
Exactly

Anyway I did not mean to upset everyone I just thought some people would get a kick out of it

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I haven't seen one. Usually they just blame somebody else... then give you a body glove
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Has anybody even experienced the SMS bug? Only 1.5% of users are experiencing this which equates to approximately 4,500. This is stemming from the daily 250,000 android activations so the bug is not THAT big of a deal. I think the press is the only reason Google hyped up it's urgency level. I don't even think it's a bug. I've noticed with a lot of android phones if you switch persons too quick in your messaging apps it picks the wrong person, which you wont notice and is where the whole sending to the wrong person goes.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
This is nothing new though. This bug has happened to me on all of my older phones except my Hero and Evo. Everything these days is just blown out of proportion as there as so many news sites online to get the same information from.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
It is definitely a bug and not as you described it. It will go to the person it is supposed to go to, AND another person.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Wouldn't discount its a "bug" but I also think its starting to get blown out of proportion. All of a sudden everyone has had an experience with a random girl and their boss / work colleague something dirty. Hah I don't doubt that its real, but the length at which this was "around" and now all if a sudden **** is raining hell fire. Don't discount its validity but maybe its severity. Clearly it isn't happening to everyone. And clearly it has become troll fodder. Everyone now has a "story" that sounds strangely similar .... :suspiciouseyes

I would classify the lack of gpu acceleration as a bug. Every modern os uses the gpu, but apparently the geniuses at google didn't get the memo.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I'd call it a bug. It has happened to me several times already to the point where I double-check the name before I send out a text. I'll get a text, click on it to view it, and the phones takes me to a different text convo with somebody else. I type up the response and hit send, and then realize that it went to the wrong person. Fortunately, I haven't gotten burned with anything, but it does happen and has happened enough to me that I am now conscious about it.

Given: This happens once a week and I text a lot.....I mean.....A LOT. Maybe I should try a 3rd party texting app.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
Yeah pretty annoying.
[EVO 4G General] Noxious Ninja:
I used to experience an SMS bug with the HTC messaging app, where I would launch "send message" from my contacts, but it would actually send the message to someone else I had recently messaged. I started exiting it by pressing back instead of pressing home, and didn't experience the bug any more. I think it was mis-managing the activity stack, and would just keep starting new activities until the app started running out of memory and screwing up.

EDIT - WARNING: That mod has a side effect, gallery will crash when setting a photo as wallpaper

Hi all, I don't know if it's the right place to leave my experiment result...

I've managed to bring back the touch scroll for photos in my Ideos (I don't know why Huawei blocked it)....there's no transition (i'm new to android sorry, so I don't know if there was one in old 2D gallery)

Requirements:

Rooted device (z4root works nice)

Root Explorer

Copy on your sd root this Gallery.apk

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7593732&postcount=5

with root explorer:

- Backup your original Gallery to your SD card (it's better you do a backup folder)

/system/apps/Gallery.apk

/system/apps/Gallery.adex

-Delete them from the original folder (/system/apps/)

-Go to your sd root (with root explorer), launch Gallery.apk and install (force the system file upgrade)

Finished.... now you can scroll your photos as usual with your finger :)

Android Market occasionally drops data connection when MarketAccess is enabled (doesn't matter if it's set manually or automatically at boot time). HTC Sense switcher widget actually says it's still connected, but no 3G/H icon in notification area and Internet doesn't work. The only way to get it back is by disabling and enabling data with the widget or through settings. Everything is working fine when MarketAccess is disabled.

Does anyone experience this issue?

[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I don't mind that the Nook only has one speaker, but it does annoy me how it is only left stereo audio. Listen to a song with a guitar track on each channel left and right and you only hear half the song.

Is there any way to sum the stereo audio and output to the speaker on a software level?
[Nook Color General] epakrat75:
Can it be assumed then that you are against simply plugging some stereo earphones, speakers, or a radio transmitter into the headphone jack? You could even stream it wirelessly to many stereo DLNA devices using an app such as the free Twonky Media Server from the Market.
[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
Nook speaker mode needed stat!!! Hopefully the part out will reveal space for a second speaker and/or replacing with a bigger/better option.

No, not against it. In fact, I rarely use it for music at all. Just principle, I want to hear both audio tracks without having to use headphones.

Just wondering if it can be done..
[Nook Color General] KryptoNyte39:
Well that would certainly be one reason for the loss of volume when playing over the speaker. I was not aware that the audio processor couldn't mix stereo down to mono for the onboard speaker.

Is it possible/advised to edit the build.prop on a PC using a standard text editor like notepad? I ask because the browsers on my GTab don't show the whole of the text we're supposed to copy from tegratab.

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] oodasbobooo:
Editing on a pc is probably fine, however you have to make sure the formatting stays correct, otherwise it all goes south lol.

I printed out a copy of the top of the build.prop that rothnic posted on the tegratab site and used that for reference when editing on my tab....made it easier to see where I was in the text editor
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] oodasbobooo:
Unfortunatley, yes, so I would keep the files saved somewhere on your tab lol
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Thanks. I actually made a text file on my PC, then copied the text from the thread and placed it in the text file. I'm hoping I'll be able to copy from there and paste using the Root Explorer method. I'll follow up with the results.

EDIT: That method worked fantastically! Swype on my GTab! GOD I LOVE XDA!!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dragonfly1113:
i use swype all the time on my original droid, question i have is, how easy is it to swype letters to form words on a 10 inch screen? i know with the droid i did it all with just one hand like holding the phone and swyping with one arm, dont think that would be possible on the gtab or maybe im wrong. i did think swype would be cool until i realized how far ud have to move your finger across the screen on the gtab, almost seems like it may feel awkward.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
Not at all man. Smooth as melted butter. Granted, the stroke between letters is longer than on a phone, but I also find that I'm more accurate. Give it a whirl. You won't be disappointed.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] usafle:
So then the easiest way to do this would be to save a copy of the "newly edited" build.prop file and copy/replace it with root explorer?

Is that the only thing you would have to replace or would you need the actual swype files all over again as a new ROM would overwrite the files in system?

Is that if you install a different ROM all together... what about just "updating" a ROM would it overwrite as well you think?

Works perfectly, FYI. Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] oodasbobooo:
Honestly, I usually turn my tablet to portrait view when i'm typing something longer than a few words, just because its easier lol. But as far as smoothness swyping, its easy and DEFINITELY seems more accurate than on the smaller screens!

Hope it works for you!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] oodasbobooo:
So far, I haven't "updated" a rom... i've wiped the cache and data and installed raw on anything i've used, so I can't tell you for sure.

Theoretically, it sounds like all you would need to do is fix the build prop and it would work again if you just updated your rom, but no promises.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dragonfly1113:
aight ill have to give it a whirl tonight when i get home from work.

thanks for the input.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
Each time you flash a new ROM you need to copy back the libSwypeCore.so, swype.apk, (edit permissions on both) and update the build.prop.

As for ease of use, I agree... Portrait mode is easier since the letters are closer. HOWEVER, having use swype for quite some time even in Landscape its easier if I'm just 'pecking' at keys. The size is perfect and it's easy to long press to get numbers when typing.

EDIT -> oodasbobooo, thanks again for you help a couple weeks ago. You have NO idea how much drama that caused me :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
This worked great on mine with Vegan5.1. But modifying the build.prop file to impersonate a Galaxy Tab made me wonder if after doing this hack if I go to sites like Gameloft or the like the site will see my device as a Galaxy Tab and allow me to purchase games?

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
I thought the same thing a few weeks ago and tried the SGS tools version of the Galaxy Tab email, needless to say it didn't work then.
