[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Just go with the nexus s, or 4g if you capture video. I wouldn't wait too long to see what devices come out, it's tmobile afterall, their CEO confirmed what we all know; tmobile is for poor people, their focus is on low end androids (under $100 he said) which we also already know. But since it's now confirmed we don't need to waste time speculating and hoping for awesome devices down the road. Surely tmobile will offer some decent phones to please people who can afford them and just have tmobile for whatever reason, but according to tmobile that's not their focus, so don't count on it. Nexus s is a nice phone anyway
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
If by "poor people" you mean "very VERY smart people", then yes! ;)
[Nexus One General] G1-evolve:
what he said ^ ;)
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Technically, he said TMobile's customer base is "more price-conscious than the other 3 major carriers", so sure, that could definitely be interpreted as the customer base is more "conscious/thoughtful", and from "thoughtful", its not a huge leap to get "intelligent, or smart". So yes, I'd say he meant "smart", he definitely meant "poor", or at least "less fiscally-able", but "smart" is clearly in there as well.

Actually here is the article, its pretty good. TMobile is incredibly fast, thats why I kept my Nexus and its free tethering while still switching to ATT for their far superior coverage, in Texas at least (ATT was at the bottom with TMobile in the National ratings so I guess outside of Texas ATT blows): http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=39610

CM7 on MT4G beetch! :D
[Nexus One General] bucketachicken:
This thread made me happy. I've had my N1 since April, but have been wanting a new phone for a couple months now. I know the LG dual core may be coming out in a few months, and I may get it then, but for now I couldn't wait, so I just got off the phone with Tmo and am now waiting for my mt4g in the mail. Hope it'll last me until sometime after the LG is out and rooted, with CM running on it.

How do you like yours so far, coming from the N1?
[Nexus One General] skunz35:
They make an hd2 with at&t 3G bands...
[Nexus One General] G1-evolve:
I won't lie. I missed my Nexus a lot but that was because I was running the SENSE UI. I hated it, but I recently got help from a user online and got my MT4G rooted as well as running CM7, I am in love. :p

the phone specs are good as well, no need for Apps2SD and such! :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
I'm currently on .97 HBoot with s-off (unrevoked forever). I would like to go to .76. As I understand, I can use ADB commands via Fastboot with .76. I found myself in a situation where I needed it.

Questions: Can it be done? Is it a matter of flashing the .76 HBoot file?

What am I giving up by going back to .76?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Yeah you can but tread lightly. You easily screw it up. I would leave it bro...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
From what I know, flashing is a matter of selecting the .76 HBoot file and allowing the recovery to flash. Is there some way where this can be screwed up?

I raised the original question because I know if is very difficult to downgrade 2.x HBoot back to .97 or .76, but that is a different matter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfp1:
it can be done, you just have to follow the instructions to the letter :p , I used Calk's 0.76 HBOOT, the one that can be flashed via recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
Thanks. As far as I know, it's simply booting into recovery and selecting the file to flash--correct? Is there some secret instruction that I am not aware of?

I presume you retained s-off after going back to .76? Any other ill effects?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
Yes its that easy. I've flashed 2.10 (with forever before I flashed) and was able to downgrade to .76 then upgrade back to .97. Look for a thread with a name like "new hboot got you down?"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verse187:
So whats the difference between this
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
Thanks. I thought going from 2.x back to pre-1.0 was difficult and risky?

More importantly, why did you go from .76 to .97? Is there something .97 offers that .76 does not?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
Yeah, but you'll get stuck in a bootloader loop. Whether you do it with the zip or push via fastboot. Just re-flash your ROM after.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snovvman:
Is it also necessary to re-flash the radio/WiMax/PRI/etc.?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr621:
So, I went to install gingerbread on my captivate, ripped from the nexus s, but I accidentally flashed the wrong thing. now my phone turns on to the att logo, then it goes away, then about 20 seconds later it comes back. I have been looking for hours on how to get to download mode, and I think that somehow I crippled my chances of using the 3 button combo. I know how to use abd to get to download mode, and my computer shows that my phone is connected when I plug it in at the att logo, but, my PC thinks its a nexus s and it can't find drivers for it. I updated my SDK but it still wont find drivers. is there anyway to install nexus s drivers or to get my phone into download mode without a jig?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tortugasthebest:
Just take the battery out and plug in usb cable while holding volume up and down. (I had the same problem until someone suggested this)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr621:
that didn't do anything. if it matters, my phone wont even get to the battery charging screen with the usb cable plugged in, the spinning circle thing comes up for about 2 seconds, goes away, then comes back but its frozen the whole time, nothing else happens. My PC still sees that its plugged in, but, like I said, it thinks its a nexus s, and wont install drivers :/

PS: as to exactly what happened, I forgot to do the voodoo lagfix before trying to install the gingerbread dump from the nexus s, so I got into download mode and went back to 2.1. it was right after that when I realized that my three button combo wasnt working, so I was going to fix that by updating the bootloader, but accidentally loaded nsongs.tar instead of the tar that would fix my download mode combo, so in Odin, I had phone bootloader update checked when I flashed that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
i had a successful install.....but my problem came when trying to revert to stock.

PC wouldn't recognize device and for the first time ever i couldn't get into download mode using method above or a 3 button method that worked for me (a slight variation to method stated above).

Finally the following worked:

1. open odin 1-click JF6

2. remove battery (and any external sd) from phone

3. plug phone into pc via USB (without battery in phone)

4. Hold Vol + / - toggle down simultaneously.

5. While holding the buttons down insert the battery. When i did this my phone entered DL mode almost immediately and i was able to use odin to get back to stock.

build 1007
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I'd try the above method to get into DL mode.. if that doesn't work you can try the JIG and see if that works.

But a requirement before flashing was to verify that your buttons worked on your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr621:
the buttons were working, but I didn't have a lagfix installed. I flashed back to stock and noticed that my buttons weren't working after that. I went to fix them but flashed nsongs.tar by accident, and I had the "phone bootloader update" box checked, so I'm thinking thats why my buttons aren't working now. I've tried that method above a couple times and nothings happened...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Hmm.. you can try and update using the Nexus S USB drivers.. if they are different from ours that is .. go to that forum and poke around to look for them.

At this point.. can't hurt trying anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr621:
Where would I find the nexus s drivers? I installed the samsung mobile phone drivers, but my computer still says "found new hardware - nexus s" anytime I plug in, and it shows up in device manager with a big yellow question mark.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
same as the poster

when i did my install my buttons were working as well....i have the 1007 build and never had any problem getting to recovery or dl using 2-button and 3-button combo's.

After the gingerbread flash was a different story though. Luckily for me the method i posted almost like jumpstarted me into DL mode....when i did that it went into DL faster than it ever had with the normal methods....the DL screen popped up almost the instant the battery connectors hit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr621:
yea, none of the methods I've found have gotten me into download mode. Is there anyway to get the nexus s drivers so I can do this through adb? I don't have a car so getting to radioshack to buy resistors is kinda hard :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr621:
ok, so I updated my sdk again and it now I have the drivers installed, I can use adb now, but whenever I do, adb reboot download, it reboots, but not to download mode, i goes right back to the boot loop. I was wondering if there was anyway to push a new bootloader onto my cappy using adb. that would be awesome

[Nook Color General] Bobb_o:
I was using ACV but I heard it was a big battery drain (And was making my NC feel a little warm) does anyone have a better suggestion?
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
I use the "Perfect Viewer" app. Just takes some practice memorizing the touch screen commands and it becomes very easy to use.
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
I second the recommendation for PV. And i tried a few others before settling.
[Nook Color General] KidVulcan:
Yup, PV is great. I tried ACV and it made my screen go dark and unresponsive. Didnt like it at all. Dose any one know if PV can rotate if I flip the screen/device?
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
Yes, PV can rotate automatically, but you have t change it in the preference menu.

After a couple if weeks i've really gotten the hang of the various touch options. it just might be my favorite thing to do with this

Hands down comic reader mobi. I literally bought the nook for this app.

[Nook Color General] KidVulcan:
Sorry if this is a silly question but were is PV's menu?
[Nook Color General] Pickens:
I've tried them all but JJ Comics Viewer worked best for me. I liked how it told me the page number at the bottom.

I didn't really like the onscreen touch stuff on Perfect	Viewer and it didn't automatically go to the next .cbr file. Mobi didn't have pinch to zoom and was too expensive. JJ is quite fast and doesn't have as many problems with large files. Try it out.
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
Ill try jj tonight. The PV menu is invoked when viewing a photo. Use hit the menu key, with softkeys/button savior, and it will appear at the bottom as a whole set of options. Click the toolbox icon.

Includes option to jump to next cbr automatically.

[Nook Color General] mad5427:
I've settled on the stock pdf reader for the NC. I have just taken all my cbz files, etc. and used Jomic to convert them all to pdf. None of the other other programs felt as comfortable, at least for me.
[Nook Color General] KidVulcan:
Yup, that did the trick, thanks. I also set it for Bicubic. So far I've only loaded one comic onto this thing but I can tell that when I have my whole library on here its gonna be sweet.

Can you explane what you mean by "zoom past full resolution"? Is that a good thing
[Nook Color General] pharaohamps:
Here's a question - how can I set the NC to open a PDF with the B&N Reader? If I open the file from the Library app, it opens with QuickPDF :( If I open the file using Astro I can read it using the B&N reader. I hate that I can't manage which file types open in each application as on a normal Android device. Any tips?
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
PV will zoom out (less than 100%) and use scaling algorithms like bicubic and averaging to make the image look smooth. But (to my knowledge) it will not zoom past 100%. The problem is that, when I use lanscape mode to view a row of comic panes, if the width of the image is less than 1024 pixels, it will not fit the width of the screen.

JJ will zoom in (greater than 100%) so it will fill the screen regardless of the resolution of the original.

I hope that helps.
[Nook Color General] markiejones:
I'm not questioning your choice, I'm just curious as to what was worse about "perfect viewer" or "jjcomic" that was better when using a pdf viewer. Because personally I find viewing comics on such a small screen requires maximum speed and flexibility in terms of zooming, rotating and page turning, and I've found the pdf viewers I've tried to be slow and inflexible.

If anyone watched me while reading a comic on this thing, they'd think I was a crazy person (rotate, pinch, tap, rotate back, doubletap).
[Nook Color General] KidVulcan:
Actually, as techy as that was, I got it. Made perfect sense. Thanks. I'll have to give it a try. I'm also intrigued by Mobi's supposed ability to pop out blocks of text but at this time I cant afford to try it. All my free money went to the Nook

I have 2 rooted slides. One of the works perfectly one does not. I have serious networking issues and market crashes. Now half of the keyboard lights do not work. I updated the radio thinking that may solve the networking issues and it helped...a little... However the keyboard lights I am assuming is a hardware issue.

So I was going to send it back to tmo and unroot using the instructions in the slide bible. However the link posted there to get the factory Rom does not have the download there.

(Sorry I cannot link it, the system will not let me because I am a noob here)

[G Tablet Accessories] nbowes:
I just found this at Office Max today for $29.

It's a Cocoon iPad Sling.

http://www.cocooninnovations.com/

It measures 8.5 x 2.5 x 11. Fits the gTab really nice.

It's a tough nylon material with a sturdy zipper. And it doesn't smell like a chemical factory.

It's not the most padded thing out there, but I think it's sufficient protection. The main pocket zips. There is another non-zipping pocket as well. Strap for over-the-shoulder. There's a small pocket in the front that didn't quite fit my Droid Incredible, but supposedly fits an iPod.

Hello all,

I Have a Viewsonic G Tablet with TNT Lite 3.1.0

I want to run CIFSManager to mount a shared windows drive.

Problem is, according to the App develloper here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756158

I do not have the proper Cifs support (cifs.ko) and also have a bug in my ROM Launcher.

The laucher bug is easily bypassed by launching CIFSManager trough the market.

But for the proper kernel module ( cifs.ko ), I'm a not familiar enough to find it. I found this module, but compiled for other devices/kernel, and I am unsure if this could work.

So....

- Do someone knows where to find the CIFS module for TNT Lite?

- Is there an other way to mount a windows share?

and/or

- Is there another firmware mod that has cifs kernel support built in?

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
There is actually a CIFS module in TnT Lite 3.1.4, but it's useless without a customized kernel.

If you really want OOTB CIFS support, you can use the VEGAn build, beta 5.1. Or, there are customized kernels that will work with TnT Lite.
[G Tablet General] jaylimo84:
Thanks Roebeet!

Confirmed: CIFSManager plain works in Vegan.

Check the sticky thread, "Installing 3rd party apps."
[HTC Aria General] GuardianC6:
I tried doing that but I got stuck stuck doing on step 7 Becuz there was no adb command
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
I had the same problem and unfortunately I didn't document what steps I took to resolve it. I think you need to run the Android SDK and look for either the SDK manager or some sort of module add-on option. Then you need to add the SDK tools that include ADB. For some reason it's no longer included in the general SDK download.
[HTC Aria General] unteagle:
How to Sideload 3rd Party Apps:

(Rooting NOT required for this)

Download SDK Tool HERE

1: Un-RAR Android folder to root directory on PC (ie: C:\ )

2: Open CMD Prompt and type CD\ and hit Enter

3: Now type cd\android\tools Enter

4: Plug in Data cable and choose "Charge Only" on phone (always choose this)

5: Now in CMD prompt enter this command: adb install barcodescanner3.4.apk and press Enter

The SDK tool should install the Barcode Scanner app on the phone. Yay!! Success!!

**You can use this method to install .apk downloads onto the phone. For this demo i had already inserted

the Barcode Scanner app into SDK tools folder. the actual command should read as follows:

adb install c:\path to .apk file (ie: adb install c:\apps\filename.apk)

**I chose this app because you can use it to install other apps by scanning the barcode

found on many HTC App sites.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
No need to go through all this trouble anymore. All you need to do is download "sideload wonder machine" from android central and whatever app you want to install. Its quick and painless and it allows you to sideload apps to your unrooted aria (or any android)

The only thing you must do to the phone is make sure you have usb debugging enabled under the development settings.
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
If you see my post right above yours, you will see that this method doesn't work anymore since adb is not included in the SDK by default. You (or whoever wrote the original instructions) need to add the steps necessary to install adb in the SDK.
[HTC Aria General] GuardianC6:
How u install the adb command?
[HTC Aria General] GuardianC6:
Thank you CallMeAria. It works now!
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
Guessing you don't need the instructions anymore since you got it working with the wonder machine, but just in case, you need to run the Android SDK Manager, choose whichever available package comes with ADB, I think it is Android SDK Tools Revision 8, then download and install that.

So currently I have a Plum mytouch 4g. It is currently rooted. Everything on it is great save for a few minor scratches. What is really bad is that I have one of the ones with a 'washed out screen'. Because I got it off craigslist and am not a t-mobile customer, I cannot have it exchanged for one with a better screen. So I was wondering if I should trade it on craigslist for a G2? I'm aware that the myTouch has better hardware specs but there are some things on the G2 that appeal to me as well.

So is it worth trading a myTouch 4g Plum with washed out screen for a mint condition G2 with box and extras?

(btw I dont like the plum color.)
