Hi peeps, just wondered if anyone can shed some light on a good way to stop android making connections to data services unless it using wifi?.I have turned off sync and set to 2g only and installed droid wall.But it seems no matter what i do i still seem to be connecting which runs up my bill.Any help would be greatfully received.
[Android Apps and Games] skymera:
If you don't have a data plan, switch data off.
[Android Apps and Games] stigslim:
lol yeah sorry i should have said.I have switched data off (i think) but it still keeps creeping up.Just double checking but how would you turn off data?.Just to make sure i acctualy have.Cheers

Now all the military needs to do is line the BDU tops with Dinc's and save on the flac jackets. Not that a flac jacket will stop a bullet anyway seeing as it's a fragmentation vest.

[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
Holy hell that looks overly complicated. I've installed adb about a dozen times on x64 Ubuntu. I'll post a link to the guide i was using in a minute...
[Vibrant Android Development] Romanbb:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537508

(skip the last part about setting up fastboot)

except on this step:

You need to do lsusb in console (with your phone plugged in) and find the Samsung vendor id, it's like 0ed4 or something, I don't remember.

Much easier, I think.
[Vibrant Android Development] JeremyNT:
Um, yeah, I don't know why the OP is doing all this. All you need to do is download the android SDK for your platform:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

An adb binary is included in the tarball in the tools directory. Just add that to your path somewhere.

Yes, the binary included in the SDK is 32bit. No, it doesn't matter at all. A clean install of 64-bit Ubuntu includes multilib support for the (very few) 32-bit shared libraries it requires.

If you really, really need a 64-bit binary... well, go for it. But unless you're building your own Linux distribution or are doing something really exotic, it's highly likely that the 32-bit version will work just fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Yikes! This is overkill. Dude, just install the lib32 library files. You should really read the Android developers page on how to setup the sdk on 64-bit linux, its all there. ;-) Good luck with this though. :-) Really...
[Vibrant Android Development] JeepFreak:
I thought some people might appreciate the instructions to get adb working over WiFi too and this seems like a good place to put it:

Type this in your terminal emulator on your Android device:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

Then check it with this:

getprop service.adb.tcp.port

If it doesn't return "5555" and you're rooted, then do a "su" command and try again. You shouldn't need to be rooted for adb over wifi to work, but I haven't tried every device:

su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

Then check it:

getprop service.adb.tcp.port

When it returns "5555" then run this command in the terminal (or command prompt) on your computer:

adb connect 192.168.0.151

(Obviously enter your device's IP address. You must be on the same network as the computer that has the Android SDK installed.)

And you should be connected!

To tell the Android device to listen for adb on the USB port instead of TCP again, enter this into the terminal emulator:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd

(again, might need "su" on your device)

Or just reboot the Android device.

And to tell your computer to use USB for adb instead of TCP:

adb usb

Now, keep in mind, when your Android device is listening for adb via WiFi, it's wide open... anybody that that the Android SDK installed and knows your device's IP address can access it without a password.

HTH,

Billy

PS - Your are appreciated! ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] GJSmith3rd:
Yes, I just installed a clean Ubuntu 64 bit and the lib32 binaries were included. I only needed to create a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules and enter my device ID - SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666". I can connect via ADB 32 bit just fine.

Of course using 64 bit drivers falls under the I did it because I could category as well. Kudos!
[Vibrant Android Development] guruchimi:
Exactly my thoughts as well. It is simple enough to get it working using the standard package that Android provides!
[Vibrant Android Development] phattchumpy:
Like others have said adb packaged with the android sdk works fine on ubuntu 10.10 with no additional configuration. The only problem that I know of is you have to run the adb server as root.
[Vibrant Android Development] dietdrpeper:
I'm pretty sure that you only have to give it root on the first time.
[Vibrant Android Development] guruchimi:
I am able to run the adb server with a user login with guest permissions. Did not have to use root. But I run Ubuntu 10.04. I guess that it would probably be the same for 10.10 as well, but can't confirm.
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
This is what I do (very simple and fast)

1) Open the terminal and type: wget dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz (Downloads The SDK with ADB)

2) Then type: tar xvfz android-sdk_r07-linux_x86.tgz && cd android-sdk-linux_x86 (Extracts the archive)

3) After that type: sudo mv tools /usr/local/share/android-tools (Moves the sdk tools to your local system folder)

4) Now type: sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/android-tools/adb /usr/local/bin/ (Makes a symbolic link to the adb executable)

5) Then type: sudo adb devices (This will start the adb server and search for connected devices)

You should now see this in your terminal:

[Vibrant Android Development] geekoo:
Firstly, Thanks a lot to the OP for posting this and the link to the geeksphone wiki. I really needed this and I would have removed my existing linux install, had I not come across this in the next few minutes.

Now back to the main reason why I am posting this comment.

I didn't see even one single reply that was grateful to the OP and the first many posts were just plain crap. If you people don't know what someone is talking about, then please don't show your ignorance and move on to troll other threads.

Of course you can install adb from the default google sdk package and it would work fine on 99% of your systems. It is the remaining 1% for whom this post is intended.

This method is for those who have a pure non-multilib 64-bit system. For such users, google has not packaged a 64-bit adb file in their release, and the default adb will not work. Such users have to build the adb file for a 64-bit machine from the sources. It is for such users that this is necessary and it was very much necessary for me, as well as for the OP, I presume.

So if you don't understand something, please don't waste others' time by spamming the post. The title is quite obvious to those who are looking for a solution.

Update: Just as I finished typing this, my adb has got compiled and I am able to run it. Thanks a million once again, OP.
[Vibrant Android Development] yo9gnc:
damn!

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don't see this directory in your SDK,

launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)

and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Please also update your PATH environment variable to

include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can

execute adb from any location.

ofcourse they meved it. so ... any new tutorial with android sdk ?

in windows is the same problem with missing adb.exe (but i have an older version installed). just that i use windows for starcraft2 :) so i want adb for linux (eventually x64).

later edit: found it ->scroll down to platform tools

and after:

extract in a folder, cd to that folder

$sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32stdc++6

# echo SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666">/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

$./adb kill-server

$./adb start-server

(kill and start i don`t know if is necessary, but it can`t do nothing wrong)

connect the device, $./adb devices and shall see it.

$./adb shell and enjoy

$ => as regular user

# => as root

i`m on kubuntu 12.04 (x64) and using an android 2.3.7 (cm7 based) huawei u8180 / orange stockholm

After doing some reading, I edited the updater-script in the zip file to make it flash properly in clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. So now I have here for you the newest version of sprint's vvm, version T.5.1.0.48. Before you flash this, please delete your old version. Again this is for people wanting to use visual voicemail from sprint who have flashed cwm 3.0.0.5. Let me know if you find any bugs and I'll see what I can do to fix them. :D

am I the only one not really bothered by the release date? I got the PnP running with voodoo and it's working pretty well for me. I cant imagine it could get that much faster. 2.2 is supposed to be pretty fast but I'm not at all disappointed with the performance right now.

Just got word that the date will probably be moved up in early February. No FOTA, though. It will be on the USCC web page as a download, which is good for those of us who have flashed anything. You won't have to worry about it getting pushed to you before you have flashed back to stock first.

That's odd, I'm using a google apps with a personal domain setup and sync with my mesmerize without issues. I'm sync'ing calendar, contacts, mail, reader, and books.
[Samsung Mesmerize] durango99:
Reason for no calendar sync

Wait a minute, a slight retraction. The reason you aren't able to get calendar sync is because you set up another gmail account first. Android 2.1 only allows calendar sync with the FIRST gmail account you set up. My assumption is you both set up a normal gmail account first on your phone before you setup your gapps account.

You'll need to do a factory data reset and wipe the phone and start with gapps account first if you want to get calendar sync with that account.

Yes, Froyo 2.2 does not have this issue.

So either wait for froyo or start over with gapps account setup with eclair
[Samsung Mesmerize] SiliconWarrior:
That seems contradictory to the story posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913045

Assuming that story is true, maybe USCC is playing ball with Samsung to give themselves an edge over the other carriers since the Mesmerize is pretty much their flagship phone at the moment.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I read that too. I just know what comes across my desk is usually pretty reliable, and although things do change all the time, the latest update that I still show is early February. There's a possibility that USCC had made prior agreements with Samsung that negated what other companies are going through, or like you say, maybe they are playing ball to give themselves an edge. Either way I don't know. I'm just a guy in the field, but barring any major kinks, I would be willing to bet that I'll have 2.2 on my phone in Feb.

So lets say I do the voodoo and the clockwork mod now. When the update comes, I will have to flash it back to stock, correct?

After 2.2 then, will the voodoo and clockwork mod be usable or even necessary?
[Samsung Mesmerize] gr4ybu5h:
I guess since I can't post anything in the ROM Central, I guess I'll add to my questions here.

Do any of the roms work with 2.2 or will we wait for those to be developed?

I'm still trying to rap my head around this whole rom, and kernal thing
[Samsung Mesmerize] crackeyes:
YOu should be able to post in ROM Central. but to answer your questions, There is no 2.2 build for every day use just yet. It is being worked on. THey have one you can play around with but for everyday use i would wait till it is more stable.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
If you wanted the update right away, yes, you would have to flash back to stock. However, I'm willing to bet several dollars that we will have a working 2.2 Froyo build before the update is even out.
[Samsung Mesmerize] gr4ybu5h:
That's what I figured. Ill wait till there is a stable roms out. I just did the clockwork, voodoo mod. It seems a little more snappy.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
The 2.2 that gets hacked into working will never be as good as the one that will be released by Samsung.. not to get your hopes down or anything.. that's just the way it is. It may get to a usable stable state, but until we get 2.6.32 kernel and source from Samsung, 2.2 can't fully shine =/
