[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
Can't update host file on this app. Error is unable to remove /system/etc/host. I've tried to Rm this file by terminal, ADB, and Astro. No go.

Thoughts?
[Nook Color General] painter_:
Check the market for an update. I updated it on my phone yesterday and this morning there was another update. Maybe the developer had an issue with the first update.
[Nook Color General] GMPOWER:
Did you set the system partition as Read/Write? Instructions found HERE
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Not necessary when using the Adfree app, I suspect it does it for you, or the hosts file is really not on /system. I've never bothered to look.

I just updated the app on the market and had no problem.. "symlink" option disabled, I select the "BTC IP" but it really doesn't matter in terms of how the file is created.

No ads. :)
[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
Not sur eif it is me or not, but I think Adfree is not workingon Nooks anymore. I just got a fresh nook from BN and rooted it, added Adfree and it gave me an EOF java error. After changing it to the "Use BTC IP" setting i get the you are now adfree message and sometimes it force quits and sometimes it does not, but the ads in Angry Bords and Wordfeud never go away.

Did this on a couple Nooks and same result. Have also noticed that there have been quite a few Adfree updates over the past week.

I have adfree on my DINC and no issues there whatsoever.

Thoughts?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It's just you or temporary. I've seen the "java EOF" error once when AdFree itself was having trouble downloading the hosts file..

Works fine here.
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
Ditto here .. works fine even w/o any program updates ...
[Nook Color General] DatterBoy:
I resolved the problem but I had to go and get a new history file that was ccreated by merging the lists from several host sites. Not sure why that would have mattered but it did fix the problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthyrich:
Hey I was hoping you guys could help me....

I had a corrupt mbr, so I put my phone in download mode, opened odin, ticked repartition, and loaded the pit file.

I flashed, and everything succeeded.

I pulled the battery to go back to download mode, and flash the rest of the rom, and now the phone is DEAD... like dead. Black screen. No boot screen. Nothing

I have tried vol down and battery in, vol up + down and power, basically every combination I can think of.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthyrich:
Fixed:

Battery out for 5 mins, different usb port and try again. Back in download mode....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crysis21:
Hy

I just bought an wireless microsoft 3000 desktop kit for my computer, and as i know we should be able to use them on our galaxy s devices...i mean the wireless keyboards and mices. But after searching all over the phone i couldn t find anything of hid related, even tought froyo should natively support wireless HID.

Can you tell me how can i do to associate my keyboard and mouse with my galaxy s? Beacuse i already searched the forum and on market for hid drivers and nothing worked.

It is possible that my keyboard to not be recognised by the phone?

Thanks for help and sorry if this has been already debated.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] frankvcs:
Does anyone know if there is an app for the vibrant to change the "Touch and slide to the right/left to answer/reject a call", to "press insteadl"????

Thanks.

:confused:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gridironbear:
I know of NO app such as this. Personally I prefer the slide method. Reason is because it prevents you from accidentally answering a call that you don't wasn't to answer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
Currently no app that does that, at least that ive found. Its not limited to the Vibrant, that's just how Android handles the answering of phone calls
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
hello everyone

Today I noticed my x10 creaks when using the bottom three buttons and sometimes the touchscreen. I bought the phone brand new from carrier 2 days ago, does anyone else experience this? its nothing TOO serious, just quite annoying for someone with OCD like myself. What should I do?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
It is a plastic-ey phone, with many components, so there will be some creaking.. Don't think you can do anything about it, sorry
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
does yours do the same?
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
My buttons don't make any noise. If you even hear the noise when pressing on the screen, maybe the back cover isn't fitted correctly?
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
Thats what I mean, its' not the buttons that make noise, but the back cover I believe.. when pressure is applied. I checked to make sure it is fitted correctly and it is. Also I believe there is a slight creaking on the front panel as well. Is this normal?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yup, mine makes a noise too, but its not noticeable unless you're listening for it
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
No that's not normal. If it's only the back cover, maybe it's bend because you applied too much pressure when pulling it off. But if the front also creaks then there's something wrong. mine doesn't make creaking noises at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
hmm. thanks to both of you for your responses. I don't know, I am getting 2 different answers. I wish I had another X10 to compare :(
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
I have 2 X10s, they both make the same noise

Its not such a big problem really... you get used to it after a while :)

Or maybe its just a problem with Canadian X10s
[XPERIA X10 General] javagreen:
Mine creaks too now, but that's after about 5 months of heavy to semi heavy use.
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
I kno what you mean, but I had iphone before and the thing was as solid as a rock. With the X10, I apply pressure I can feel some 'give' as if i am pressing the panels together, which creates the slight creaking noise. I dont even know if I could describe it as creaking, its very minor but still noticeable
[XPERIA X10 General] mety333:
When I had the black x10a it creak for me when I pressed the back button. After a few days I bought the x10I to have 3g on tmobile and it doesn't creak. Maybe its the x10a only?

I love xda app on my Xperia X10i phone =D
[XPERIA X10 General] junexyz:
mine to :(
[XPERIA X10 General] mcforrest1:
Hey, yeh mine creaks too, its more so the side pressure of the hand squeezing the sides when in yur palm, than the force down of the buttons. Im not very satisfied with the elcheapo effect of the back cover, lol. I too was an iphone user, solid rock, but i love my x10a!
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
Thanks to everyone, I guess it's semi-normal, I wish it wouldnt make any noises because it makes it feel cheap :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Creeking here aswell and it is actually the battery making the noice since its probably has got a tiny bit deformed in 8 months of pocket riding it is able to move somewhat in it's compartment. Everything else is solid.

And i have to really stress it to make it creek, nothing really bothering.
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
^Thats a good point. Last night I was sitting on the couch and couldn't remember where I put my x10 down. I stood up and realized I was sitting on it. Not a big deal considering its a pretty cushy couch but I probably squished the battery together a bit.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hawkysoft:
I think only white ones make noise my black x10i is very solid
[XPERIA X10 General] Infinity1988:
I know 4 people who also have the xperia x10, never heard them complaining about creaking. Never heard it either. We all have the black x10i.

Somebody here said something about a deformed battery, that could be true indeed. Lithium polymer battery's have no plastic case, they can be bend or deformed. It could be the reason your x10 makes creaking noises.
[XPERIA X10 General] mvrn:
You could buy another back cover from ebay, they're not expensive.
[XPERIA X10 General] dpt90:
when i got me first xperia, i had a few issues with it but no creaking, it did however randomly reboot and kept dying constantly, so i had it replaced the next week.
[XPERIA X10 General] zhoustanley:
black rogers x10a had for about 7 months or so....no creaking, phones pretty rock solid, ive put it through some heavy abuse and it still runs/looks like a chammp!
[XPERIA X10 General] goothu99:
mine creeks sometimes, weird
[XPERIA X10 General] Lancez:
all X10s are made in china, what do you expect :p mine dose the same thing, it's coming from back cover. guess i'll have to live with it until i get Arc :D
[XPERIA X10 General] ChrisMCP:
Had the same problem when I first got it (x10a black) from rogers in april 2010. I exchanged 3 of them (thanks to rogers' 30 day exchange policy), the 4th one was more or less OK, and I'm very sensitive to small things like this. So it depends and varies from phone to phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] ChrisMCP:
I doubt it will be any better. Sony is known for not fixing design flaws for ages. I remember how loose batteries were first spotted on Vaio modes back in 2001 (alongside battery drain issues). Guess what, still not fixed after many generations of products like Vaio Z (mind you - top of the line, one of the most expensive laptops out there).
[XPERIA X10 General] Lancez:
i know what you are talking about, bought 3 VIAOs and now i'm done with SONY, at least for laptop. now i use Toshiba and love them.
[XPERIA X10 General] gueatx:
Since I got my x10 in April, my phone has creaked. The plastic cover on the battery creaks against the back cover if its too low to the bottom of the phone and i think after time the heat of the phone kinda changes the silver battery plastic, then has a bit of give. Now its starting to do the same on the top if i do not do the following:

***I do not recommend doing this unless you just cant stand the creak so much as it may damage/weaken the battery connectors after a prelonged amount of time.***

I usually take a toothpick and break off the end (Just the tip!) at the bottom of the battery, one on each side of the middle. i push the battery up a bit with my thumb and slip the toothpick in there. I started with plastic shim's from different packaging but i find the toothpicks work a lot better. Don't reef the toothpick in too far, just enough to put the tip in and break it off. make sure there is no overhang or the case may not go back on correctly.

Like i said, this could cause some damage so be careful! I used to do this on my old mpx220 smartphone and it wouldn't work without it after a while so use at your own risk.
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:
So they allowed you to exchange the phone because of the creak?

how much was it creaking?

EDIT: I have the white x10
[XPERIA X10 General] zer0nine:
I just put a piece of a paper towel between the battery and the battery cover to fill in the missing space and voilà! No more creaking.
[XPERIA X10 General] :
Mine used to do than

Its not the body of the phone but its the battery which makes the creaking noise. The soulution for that is to put a small piece of paper on the right side of the battery (When the battery is facing you). The paper piece should be position at the bottom right corner of the battery to fill the gap. That should do it
[XPERIA X10 General] JoLLAJoLLA:

i have d. loaded scrollable stocks widget for my launcher pro in Desire HD. But it's not responding as per my sense stocks widget.

Is the any widget similar to htc sense stocks widget?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] psych0t1c:
You might try the App "Stock Quote", which is quite different from HTC Stocks (more powerful and advanced).

It allows you to put a 1x1 Widget block on the screen which displays a single currency or stock item. Clicking the widget will take you to the app where you can view your portfolio etc.

I prefer it to HTC Stocks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SandeepSharma:
DO NOT TRY OCLF, if you can not go to factory reset.

I have read almost all the threads answer etc. on many forums, How many people faced the problem and I think I am latest victim after having OCLF, phone doesn't start anymore, does not go in hard reset..nothing just vibration and 2 lights in bottom nothing else.

It just screwed me, OCLF 2.2, with Z4Root , Android 2.2 froyo on SGS....installed and you are gone. still you want it go ahead, feel free....I am angry on myself not on anybody else but I thought, I better write something to save few people at least, opposed to other people who are also bricked and praised the fix to not to stand alone.

Finally I gave phone back, not sure if I get a new one or get same repaired ( in warranty or I have to pay if they can detect that It was me not the hardware or something else...), will post what happens but for now, its not safe, do not go for it and remember there is very thin line between bravery and foolishness. decide yourself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] adirtymonkey:
There are numerous ways to recover your SGS, all you had to do was have a read on here, don't panic and use the search function.

I'm new to all this and i've been in the same position as you and have thought I had bricked my phone at least 5 or more times. But thanks to others on XDA they have same me and my SGS :o)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fenerbuuh:
sorry but if you dont know what you are doing, why are you doing it?

and btw there are alot of things you can do to recover your phone, even if its totally bricked.

you saying you read all threads etc? i dont think so cuz then you would know what to do.

and OCLF IS SAFE, if you know what you doing and have to do if its going wrong.

ps: if you need help, pm me i will explain you what to do, but only if you have the phone in front of you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Intratech:
There should be a big banner in the development section which says "Don't try these if you are a n00b and not willing to read and learn before flashing anything!"
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mr Woolf:
That is a thoughtless, misinformed thread title maligning a good developer's excellent work.

Think hard before you post in future........

doc jpy 7.1, jpx, k12i.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dhiru1602:
OCLF pertains to the Software Level. I see no reason for the Hardware to be affected. You should always be able to go the Download Mode after removing the battery for sometime.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Iacopo91:
i just say OMG.. i "bricked" (like you) my device about 7-8 times... no problem! i also BRICKED my device 1 time... no problem! don't panic, sgs is very strong! use search function of forum, the problem is not OCLF itself, is a "dead" sd-card (i don't know exactely, i'm a noob) it's a problem connected with the mount of an internal memory, i personally discovered that it might be also connected with a wrong flash of the csc (personal experience!)

Next time (yes it will be) don't panic there's a solution:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SandeepSharma:
No panic, just another way of adding some more info for OCLF

Well well well, I am not in panic, I have had galaxy for 5 days only and of-course a new comer for Android, I didn't hesitate for the fix, tried to figure out pros and cons (unfortunately didn't see complains for the problem I had after reboot, until I became the victim) and to be clear not trying to blacken the founder of OCLF with due respect.

Thanks for the fellows offering help, I don't have phone with me as I was not willing to play around with other fixes as I can get it fixed by service center but it would be great if you can blog about it or mention steps here for a problem of a phone stuck on Galaxy screen and can't go in recovery mode and does not connect with odin. what you get is black screen, 2 lightning button in the bottom and vibration when you press any key in bottom or screen.

I was already expecting the several responses and staring eyes but if its safe then why you have so many thread complaining a frozen phone. If this fix is safe then why its removed from Market? (arrg Google norms..but for a good thing and open source system, don''t understand, make it an enhancement, put it already in ROM)

and why OCLF app does not warn, if you have a temp root or permanent root? before making the fix. if its not possible in this context then place info window as it will fail with temp root.

ODIN thing will only work with rooted phone what if its temp rooted and do you want any user to open their phone's mother board for making some soldering to re flash.

Please somebody make a detailed instruction page, if its safe and get proper steps and don'ts list, I won't mind doing it again once I get phone back and keeping fingers crossed that they won't charge me for this out of warranty. Not sure I'll get replacement or repaired one.

Again its not safe until and unless in any case you are ready for using other fixes (which may or may not be applicable for your situation)to fix the phone.There are chances that you loose important data(if not backup). Go for it, if you have enough time and nothing else to do, if it works, good for you, if not don't panic.............. :D

and don;t forget its not your development machine, open in front of you, for free by company, which has corrupted passwd file or something and not booting up....it's your costly new smart phone.

yeah criticize me but its doesn't feel nice when your brick your new phone.

in the end some more things to remember based on my exp for prevention:

1. Back up data

2. make sure you have hard reset option available

3. Root permanent

Please add more if you know. anyways thanks for all the responses.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Dioser:
Tried once to have a bricked phone, my first try actually..

Formated the system by mistake, to high i guess.. LOL..

Non the less, had black-screen ofc, System format, in more than 5 hours, till I tried odin with the org firmware, and brick gone ;)

Sure, thought Sh!!!!!t at first, but then started reading, that was what I've spent the 5 hours on, and 7mins later up and running.. No worries for brick no more ;)

So, think you could have made it your self, instead of returning it, sry

Or maybe you couldn't go into DL mode? I could with formated system?

Just like dhiru1602 wrote, DL mode should be in place, it was on mine like I said
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shrooms90:
Did u read the info screen that pops up when u first started oclf? I guess u didnt coz there are very clear instructions on what u have to do to apply the lagfix sucessfully...

Edit: btw ockf is on market again he just had to remove the abillity to root...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] uppon2:
READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREATH IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREATH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. You didn't read instructions clearly

2. You created a misleading thread title

3. You are now asking for step by step instructions when there is already numerous guides and answers on how to get your phone going again

4. You now look like a lazy, ignorant and upset kid that broke his new toy because he was too rough with it and now expects to be spoon fed instead of actually learning from his mistake.

5. I am not usually this hard on anybody but I am annoyed by this thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Adevem:
you're funny. maybe you can discuss why it's so bad with RyanZA himself?

herpderp.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mr Woolf:
If you hadn't have badmouthed his work, you'd have found Ryan extremely helpful, in fact, he's such a good bloke, he'd probably still help you if it was necessary.

doc jpy 7.1, jpx, k12i.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] madfix:
@OP: Please change the thread's title to something more respectful for RyanZA's hard work.

A good title like : "too lazy to read before doing something potentially dangerous to my expensive smartphone, I've bricked it (in fact probably not...) while trying OCLF..."

Hi guys,

I have been using Evernote to mark down places that I like. It's simple, just take a picture and I have the GPS coordinates already saved, and the snapshot is under a "places" tag. But Evernote does a poor job when you want to find the location again.

I wonder, how do you save favorite places down, and more importantly, how do you look them up later?

Do you save them as contacts on Google (but then how do you find them affectively?)

Do you use something like foursquare? (I don't need the whole social aspect of it).

If you do use Evernote, do you like it, and how do you find the place fast?

What is your solution, are there any good apps out there?

Your nook may be trying to do the 1.0.1 software update? Did you turn off the ota update?

It has something to do with the way the BN software shuts off the Wifi when the screen turns off. The work-around for this is to install Settings Profile Life and set a profile to turn off Wifi when the screen turns off.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Propheous:
I was wondering if anyone had thought about the idea to change your phone into essentially a second touch screen monitor for your computer. You could do it wirelessly, but I think a usb connection to charge the phone while you do it would be just as good, in some ways better.

One you could extend your desktop to essentially, and make it work like any other monitor, just with the touch input.
