Alright. What's the lowdown on that Dock? Does it come with Speakers or do I need to plug them in separately? Is the Samsung App any good? How well does it work with Alarm Apps? Could I use it as an Alarm Dock? What's a good alarm app for an alarm dock? Does the screen stay on the whole time like a clock or does it shut off? Do I even want it on the whole time? Any competing, better products out there?

I *do* have Speakers, an excellent Blueant M1 Bluetooth Speaker set, but I'd rather not have to sync them up/plug them in everytime I put my alarm in my dock. I mean I could do it... moving on.

I like the Samsung Dock because it looks like a nice bedside holder for a clock/alarm. But, for my Desk, I want something to hold it upright. I've seen in the past some makeshift docks made out of business cards or those major paper clips. What options do I have for my Captivate?

Thanks everyone.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Markino:
Hi all!

I'm playing with setCPU and probably I found my high stable freq. to 787Mhz.

I can run quandrant till 825MHz (1300+) but it seems not very stable and sometimes freeze during normal operation.

I set 787Mhz and interactive mode on setCPU and I leave 245 as min freq.

I setup 2 profile in order to downgrade to the original 600MHz and 245 with powersave when the battery is < 20% or the temperature of the cpu is > 50.

My question are:

- Is the interactive mode the best option for our Optimus One or there's a best choice? What is the differenze of the different operating mode?

- What is the "temperature limit" of the cpu? I set 50 but my cpu start from 35 up to 39.5 during stress at the moment. Should I set 40?

- How the min freq influence the performance and the battery life? Is it good to increse the min freq (320?) too?

Many thanks and sorry for the many questions.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazinya:
1. Is the desire going to get the 2.3 android?

2. Im not planning on rooting it since i dont have the time or patience to deal with roms and the then dealing with the 100 problems they are probably going to cause. So with the 2.2 would i be able to transfer media files from my computer to the SD card with a drag&drop?

3. Is the desire on 2.2 already capable of playing divx?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
1. Officially, probably not

2. Yes

3. Out the box I don't think so, but there are players that will
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazinya:
I thought that the divx support was added with the 2.2 update?

anyway, choosing between nexus s and the desire, would the nexus s be a better significant better choice?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Depends if you actually NEED 2.3. Apparently the Nexus S isn't all that as far as a phone goes. Personally I don't like the look of it.

Besides, there's already a 2.3 ROM available for the Desire built from code so if you really want it you can get it

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I cannot update any Software. When the Marketplace shows that there is one or more Updates available I get an error. When I click on "Update all" even if there is only one he won't even start downloading. If i open the app in the marketplace and click on update, he will download the software, but he is also aborting after downloading it successfully ... anyone knows how to fix it?!

I have a Omnia7 16GB (Telekom Deutschland/T-Mobile Germany)

Everything else is really working perfectly ... it is fast, no forced closes, no crashes, no speaker problems, no gps/3g/gsm problems, no battery problems (best battery life i have ever had in any smartphone), no standby menu button bug ... everything works fine except updating apps ...

Use your common sense. If your scratch looks like it's normal tear & wear - you should be ok. If it looks like it's physical damage - they will charge you $200.

When you agreed to replacement over the phone, they made you listen and agree to a recorded message that gave them the right to charge you for the phone if it is damaged at the time they receive it. Maybe call and sweet talk or just cross your fingers.

I noticed on an ipod touch 4, that the quality was HD.

I wonder why the the quality on the Android devices play in HQ.

Side by side, makes me cry to see what I am lacking.

Just odd Google's major product plays better on a non-Google device.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I haven't used YoutTube App much BUT is there a point of playing it at higher quality?

480p = 640 x 480

480p = 704 x 480

our screens = 800 x 480

The benefit we get from 720p -> 480p is fairly minimum as you can see :/
[Epic 4G General] Vanquish46:
Kinda making this up, but it might be because of the higher resolution display that the iphone and itouch have.
[Epic 4G General] dezshiz:
yea the iphone 4 and ipod touch 4 does have a higher resolution
[Epic 4G General] Orbiting234:
But when you're watching on a 4" screen does it really matter? Not trying to watch a movie off Youtube after all.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
que? are those resolutions the old crappy TV lines that werent really even 480i?

480p= 720x480

720p ( i assume you meant) = 1280x720

So if our phones are 800x480, 480p would be a better image than a scaled 720p, I seriously doubt our phones have the scalers of most modern TVs or Monitors. Native resolution is pretty much always better. (the widescreen images being letterboxed 480p like out of a dvd player).

Yeah they have amazing, almost unnecessary resolution for a 3.5" screen. Great for text readability, but so is SAMOLED :)

So anyways, if a 960x640 (apple) device is actually defaulting to scaling 720p down, theyre actually shooting themselves in the foot... unless their scaler is a faroudja... but with iOS its all about status, so having that little indicator on the screen say HD, even though the device falls a bit short of actually delivering, and degrading the image by scaling when it is not necessary on such a small device (any phone), it just makes us look better :). Wow, im used to having these discussions relating to CRT projectors, not phones :) So yeah, stick to native resolution or smaller.

That said, if our TV out option worked, then 720p or whatever the best output is would be a good default, if that option were plugged in.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I meant what I meant but I forgot one 720 x 480..there are multiple standards for 480p based on the sample such as4:3 (640x480)..
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Regardless of the quality the iphone degrades, it still looks better...that's what he meant lol so if it looks better with a scaled down 720p, imagine regular 720p
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
I am not talking about the resolution of the screen. I realize the iphone/ipod have higher res than our phones, and that relates to the sharpness. But I am talking about the actual content quality is actually much higher definition, as it takes longer to buffer because of this aswell. I know the Android app is better overall vs IOS version.

I watch alot of HD [HQ on our phones] of car videos and such, and yes it bothers me that it is not the best it can.

Not anything worth whining about Would be cool if we had [3g/mobile] [HQ] and [HD] options.

This is XDA, maybe we can hack it lol

*Thanks for all the replies by the way
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Duh, been too long since I dealt with SD... you are correct.

But as far as 'looks good', its subjective, and looking at my friends touch, I really dont think video is even close... text is awesome... but theres too many factors, such as were you using youtube apps, or the actual site? Really though, I guess it boils down that you really prefer resolution over color, clarity, etc of the samoleds.... But everyone has their preference, I still prefer my Barco 808s projector running 720p CRT at 120" over most 1080p TVs... But to be fair most TVs are crap...
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Yeah I noticed that too,compared even to my old iphone 3gs I just watch youtube videos using Dolphin Hd browser with AdobeAir flash installed,quality is definetly better than on YouTube app.

[Epic 4G General] zombiematt:
download a program called tubemate from the market. its free.

when you use this app, you browse it just like you would youtube , but when you watch a video you have 2 options. watch or download. when you watch it steams in poor quality, however if you download you can play it back in HD. its pretty cool. you can even download 720p ( on 4g its pretty quick)

Can you get into recovery or fastboot? Try holding down the volume button while holding down power when powering on. Also, try holding the action button while holding the power button while powering on. If nothing happens then your almost out of luck. If you get fastbook (white screen with multicolored text as opposed to recoveries one color and black screen) you can adb push a rom onto your phone and fix it.

I didn't have a problem with visionary but I think my phone was rooted when I got it.

Can you get into hboot ? With the phone off, hold Volume Down then press Power.

If you can get into hboot then at least you can flash a ROM from your SD card.

If you can get into recovery from hboot, then you can use adb from there, but you can't use adb if the phone is stuck at the startup logo.

Sometimes it seems that if you go into the stock recovery (when you see the screen with the red triangle, hold Volume Up and then press Power), you can try mounting everything you can to see if that makes a difference to being able to boot.

This shouldnt be happening if he was just using a temp root. It might cause instability while the phone is on, but once it turns off the root is gone, the software is reset. Did you attempt to perm root with visionary? also, if he isnt rooted, the phone will be able to recover itself easily from the boot recovery. unless he doesnt have an sdcard with the recovery on it. also this all means that if he isnt perma rooted, he wont have a custom recovery.

Anyways, Pull the battery, press the powerbutton while holding the VOLUME DOWN key, use the volume keys to select recovery after it performs the test, and select restore phone or whatever it says in the orig recovery.

edit: dont forget to put the battery back in before you turn it on.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aliwaqas:
Err.. Pretty cool info there but what if you don't meet above three requirements? I mean there are noobs like me who'd rather jump onto flashing while forgetting about nandroids etc. I guess there should be a one click unroot utility for all android devices like we have for rooting.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fiddlestix:
im really confused.

if the phone has been rooted (using fastboot oemunlock - yes) then how can we "unroot" this device? till today there has not been a way to do so.

but if what ur suggesting relocks the bootloader (removes the cross at bootup) then woohoo!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siidheesh:
The main point

ok, i think you guys dont understand what my point on unrooting is...

What im trying to say is:

Updating your phone software with an original OTA update on the original rom the came with your phone will automatically reset root. However, custom roms and recoveries dont accept OTA updates, so you need to flash back your original recovery first, nevermind if you have a custom rom.

If you don`t meet the requirements, then i`m sorry, you`ll just have to wait for an available system update like me. However if you get one, be sure to come back here if you want to unroot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siidheesh:
Creating a one/two click-unroot application

Actually, you may be right. The unroot procedures can also be carried out by adb alone , not by user interaction. So a desktop application can be created that automates the process

1) Open adb shell

2) Enter su

3) Pull the update zip from the phone

4) Recursive/y search the zip for the file recovery.img

5) Run 'flash_image recovery recovery.img'

6) Run 'adb reboot' to reboot phone

7) Phone will install update on stock update when rebooting complete

8) When update installed, root will be removed and your phone will be updated as well!

We can send keystrokes to the adb for the adb shell.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
Shouldn't be too hard, probably only a simple script would suffice ;) I'll see what I can come up with (if I can do anything :p ). Supply the script with your required update zip to make it work in a different way (maybe, I'm not great with details)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
Automated Script

Can someone please clarify that this would work (as an unroot script):

1. Opens ADB shell

2. Enters su

3. (User) Supply script with stock update.zip - in case it's not on phone (correct if this is unnecessary)

4. recovery.img extracted from update.zip

5. recovery.img flashed to phone via 'flash_image recovery recovery.img'

6. Reboots phone via 'adb reboot'

That installs stock recovery, but what if there was no OTA update to install for that particular device? That's the only problem I can see with such a script, so I'm hesitant to make it right now (besides, I don't have my Nexus with me at the moment, so I couldn't test it).

Dumb question but would flashing a stock update.zip from the stock recovery remove root? Or does it have to be OTA? Never having done it before I'm not sure.

Edit: If it did have to be OTA, maybe you could find the original update.zip (ie. no updates before it) and flash that, so there would be a higher chance of an OTA update?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siidheesh:
Different definitions

Sorry people, when i mean ota update, i dont just over-the-air updates, i am referring to original updates for your original android system that came with your phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
So just to clarify, you could install any stock ROM for your device and it would remove root? Specifically if it was installed through stock recovery.

Thanks, hopefully I might be able to make some progress after this :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siidheesh:
not as easy as it seems

You cant make an unroot script that easily. Im halfway working on a .net application that does it on desktop.

Also, almost all great things come with a *catch*. In this case, you need to wait for an ota update to be available. Or if you took a nandroid backup some time back and updated your version, you can revert back to the old verison and update again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
Oh well, I didn't realise :( I figured you could do it all from the command line, so a script of some kind might do. That said I wasn't entirely sure as I couldn't test the theory (no phone :( )
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jonathon Grigg:
Another win for stock Android phones :p No waiting months for OTA updates! Well good luck on your .NET application, I only know Java and Python, so I can't really help you there, sorry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siidheesh:
dont know

my phone (Backflip) isnt a very popular phone and there`s only one rom for it. to date, i`be only tried unrooting via stock updating. Stock roms may work too, but im not sure...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] siidheesh:
adb shell

actually, i did mention that the unroot procedure can be done entirely from the adb shell, which is also in command line. im just making a program to enter those lines in automatically. normal batch scripts cant write to the adb shell as it is a separate shell in the command prompt...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Deadclown:
What about doing a factory reset?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ness23:
