I know they are different from phone to phone and if you flash the wimax.img from an old evo you will lose your 4g so it its something off the phone

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolishesh:
I think that they have to be base of the serial number and probably computer generated to your phone .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
So they ARE phone specific? I'm getting a new phone because my camera is broken. Is there any point in holding on to my old wimax.img so that those working (I think, no 4g in Detroit) keys could be used on another phone? Maybe for someone who torched theirs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Are you returning the old phone when you get your new one? When a phone is returned the RSA keys are deactivated .....

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] Mr. Raven'sFjord:
Hi everyone, first post. I am a proud owner of the Archos 43 IT. So, I recently acquired the usb host cable from Deal Extreme.

Now, I only have two usb stick (8, and 16gb) neither of which work. My first intention was to put all of wikipedia on one flash drive (wikipedia is about 14.8 gb) so I could have everything on a portable screen. My second intention was to get an external hard drive (large capacity for movies on the HDTV), but there is a looot of misconception of what kind of drives work (NFTS, USB powered, etc) so I would love someone to spell out two things: What sixteen gigabyte usb drives are confirmed to work, and what sort of hard drive would the community recommend?

Thanks in advance.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] ExploreMN:
Does the drive matter, or is it more the format of the drive? I have a bunch of USB drives that are all formatted either FAT32 or NTFS and they all seem to work.

I have not tried a external hard drive yet...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] Mr. Raven'sFjord:
Well both of mine are fat32. I think its more an issue of powering the drives. From what I understand the Archos doesn't really give all that much juice to what's plugged in the host.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] redname:
is your cable in working condition? you can try putting an external HDD and power the HDD with an external source to see if it works
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] Mr. Raven'sFjord:
Ah, yes it works just fine. I'v been using a USB keyboard with a trackball via the adapter, and I just plugged in my brother's external hard drive with a wall adapter (I don't have an external hd), and it worked great. So its just the flash drives, I just want to know if anyone has a 16gb drive they own that works via usb host.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] ExploreMN:
Okay, here is a list of

flash drives

I've personally used that work without issue:

OCZ Diesel 4GB

Kingston Data Traveler 16GB

OCZ Rally2 8GB (Dual channel)

Corsair Flash Voyager 8GB

Sandisk Cruzer 1GB

Lexar 1GB

Here is a list of

external hard drives/enclosures

I've tested that work without issue:

Seagate FreeAgent Go

Metal Gear Box IDE Enclosure

Venus DS IDE Enclosure

Rosewill RS-358-S SATA I/II Enclosure

Here is a list of

NAS drives

I've tested that work without issue:

DataRobotics Drobo-FS

Buffalo Terrastation II

Hopefully this helps.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] Mr. Raven'sFjord:
Hi, this does help. However, it leads to another question: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Kingston+Data+Traveler&x=15&y=22#/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=kingston+datatraveler+16&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Akingston+datatraveler+16

There seems to be a lot of variations on the data traveler 16gb. Would you mind telling me which one you personally have?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] ExploreMN:
Holy buckets...had no idea there were so many versions. LOL.

Well, it says its a Data Traveler 2.0 under the hardware IDs. I don't think they even sell this model anymore. I bought it from Microcenter.com at the time.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] jalandar:
Have you tried a micro sd card reader dongle with a 16GB micro sd card?

That's the solution I've been using and it has been working fine with my 43
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] sprocket87:
Well according to your signature you have a 101 tablet, which has a full-size USB port that delivers more power to the device and has much wider drive compatibility. The smaller devices (43 and 70) provide less USB power and few devices work with them.

We need to get a list going of confirmed working peripherals with each device...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] p0rk burn:
Everytime I see this I trip over the line that wikipedia is 14.8 gigs. I know this is totally off-topic, but wha!??! ("the compressed file enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 is over 280.3 GB in size (in 7z format is over ~31 GB), and decompresses to several (>5) Terabytes of text.")

My mind, it is boggled.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Accessories] italianguess:
Best gain from external memory

there are interesting posts, in the development thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934087

seems that best performing cards on archos 101, after several tests, are

Transcent 8gb/6/0x4142

Lexar 16gb/6/0x4245

which approximate the internal card performance

I know most of us know this by now.... but for the few of you who don't.

Z4root is a one click third party rooting app. This will make you a hero cuz it can one click root almost any android phone with 2.2 froyo and up. Just to prove the power of this app.. My mother wanted to get an android phone so she could tether her laptop. I took my mom to the verizon store and started rooting all the display phones just to prove I could do it. (And I was laughing my azz off the whole time)

Please...... enjoy!

I've recently manually updated to the official 318 package via the QDL tool. Am I the only one who has lost the ability to use the front facing camera for video calls?
[Streak 5 General] brianlp:
It was well documented here and everywhere that the front facing camera did not work with 2.2., so you aren't the only one. If you wanted to keep using the camera, you needed to stay with ver 1.6, and hope that Skype comes out with an Android version for 2.2.
[Streak 5 General] veuro:
weird coz my FF camera works just fine on streak
[Streak 5 General] nonong:
i have 318 running and FFC works with ooVoo - i think it's better than fring since it can do a mobile to pc as well as mobile to mobile video call.
[Streak 5 General] brianlp:
I've never used these apps, but does both sides have to be using the same app for video chat? Or can a Skype user talk to a Fring or ooVoo user? I know Fring doesn't run on 2.2.
[Streak 5 General] br4nd0nh347:
Front facing cam running fine on my Streak 318.
[Streak 5 General] smokeyb111:
Fring works on my device just fine and its 2.2....outside of video calling. when I start a vid call, the only camera utilizd is the rear cam.

FF cam works (through the camera app)....

is this a programming issue, or somethng with my phone? Any suggstions for a fix? or is the ffcam onbmy phone now useless?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacecasespiff:
I can get into rcovery but I don't have the option to install from sd or make a backup. The options that I have are reboot, install packages, clear cache and there is on more I can't remember I don't have the phone with me. Install packages dies nothing but show that it can't find any update zip files. I think its not recognizeing my sd card. I have pics and music on my sd card and it works fine so I don't know what's going on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Sounds like stock recovery. Did you download rom manager? Did you flash cwm recovery. If so reboot into recovery through rom manager
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
download ROM Manager, and click the first option, its like flash clockwork recovery, choose your device, and then it'll finish, then try going back there, and it should be in GREEN or something
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacecasespiff:
I've done all of that. That's how I get in recovery. And its green writing. The weird thing is that I've been able to flash some roms before then I end up wanting to do something else so I use my backup and go back to stock. I did have some problems with the backup that I did and had to use odin to fix it. I then relized that I did not odin the update j16 file so I then did that. I've got the nero rom ready to go just can't get to the right recovery. I do have the clockwork recovery that I got with the rom manager.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
Is there an "advanced" option?? If so go to that then you should see reboot recovery. Then you should see the install from SD card option. Also, try mounting your SD card to the computer. And try pulling out your battery while phone is still powered on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
If you are going into stock recovery after flashing CW Recovery from ROM Manager, you need to select "reinstall packages" in stock recovery (it may need to be selected twice). Then you'll go into CWM.

Also, don't delete the "update.zip" file on the root of your sd card...that's the CWM file, which is what is installing when you select reinstall packages.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacecasespiff:
Im going to give it another try when I get home. I've done the install packages but I get an error that it can't find somthing. But I will try doing it twice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Click reinstall package and itll reboot, then click tasty again, and ur in.

If u deleted the update.zip then that's y its not working.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacecasespiff:
How do I get the update zip back
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacecasespiff:
I think my problem is with the update zip. I downloaded the new nero b4 and when I look in my files I see it but I can't open or do anything with it. But if I look in astro I see it and I can do something with it. So its something to do with the file app. Its changing it to something that I can't do anything with. I go into recovery and reianstall packages and it looks like its working but then says aborted.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Download titanium backup free/pro, menu, more, create update.zip

Remove the old one before doing this.

Then flash clockwork recovery through rom manager, then try it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnielsen40:
Go into ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery." That will put the update.zip file back on your sdcard.

With my new FroyoMod on my Milestone i have both Flash 10.1 and Adobe-AIR...

Will someone explain the difference, and do i need BOTH of them... or just one?

72 reads so far... and not one reply???

*sigh*

...simple question.... figured i would get some help...
[Android Software Development] alfadog77:
i know how u feel bud i have no clue what they do but heres my theory for adobe air

what i think it does it enables more animation in apps so i think thats why adobe air is mandatory for some apps
[Android Software Development] joshnichols189:
I'm pretty sure adobe air used as a way of writing apps that Are compatible for multiple platforms
[Android Software Development] viven:
AIR - (Adobe Integrated Runtime) allows you to run Flash applications offline.

Flash - usually embedded in web pages so you need to be online.
[Android Software Development] Ph0z3:
oohh... alright then... so i do need both of them?>

does it matter if they are installed on the SD or the System?
[Android Software Development] szallah:
you're the only one who knows what you need and what you don't need... ^^

if you plan on watching flash-content within the browser, then you should keep the flash-player.

if you plan on installing air-apps (which aren't really popular atm), then you should keep air.
[Android Software Development] Anderdroid:
Erm... It's completely possible to make apps using Flash and not Air. So that can't be completely right. Just put the swf in your assets folder and initialize it in a WebView = Offline flash.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Is there a kind of system maintenance routine necessary (or beneficial) to keep Android running in top condition? I've seen that permissions can be repaired via CWMod and Dalvik cache, etc, but what else should we do to maintain the system performance and stability, etc.?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
well, idk if this helps, but tmobile told me to clear the user data every 2 months or so...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
User data holds what?

I'm not sure I trust the "expertise" of a T-Mobile rep, but thanks for the response. :D

I've had one instance where the system told me that my DB data was getting too full and asked me to purge it manually. I removed some stuff and then I noticed that the DB data went down in Titanium Backup, but I don't know what that does either, or how to keep it cleaned out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
If you are plain stock not rooted, delete cache data as the previous poster said. There is not an specific amount of time for this, but if you feel your phone starts too lag more than usual

If you are rooted, and have CWM installed wipe cache partition, and in Advanced do Wipe Dalvik cache, nad if you want wipe battery stats (Do this when your battery is full once in a while so yo get better battery reads)

Anyone know how to get the front bezel off this thing?

It's begging for a paint job.

Thx!
[Nook Color General] WillCameron:
and perhaps a generous application of rubber cement. I had ONE creek point when i bought it - annoying but livable enough (plus the fact all the bad hours of xmas I was working I never had time to return it in the 30 day period to best buy). now almost 2 months latter theres three...

theres a teardown thread or two on here somewhere but the search button seems to be failing (or my browser....)

[Nook Color General] spikey911:
It must pop off, but I don't want to be the guy to try it...
[Nook Color General] waremaster:
In the tear down I remember seeing roughly 10 small philips screws holding it from the inside to the metal sub structure. To tighten it you need to remove the back of the device then you will see the screws running around the perimeter. I also remember the screen is held to the bezel with a form of double faced tape.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Its funny because the guy at Best Buy was trying to pull the back off of the one I returned... No idea why he was trying to yank the back off of it...

I guess if he had succeeded I would have seen the screws.. :)
[Nook Color General] waremaster:
Funny enough the display model NookColor at my local best buy was practically falling off. When I first looked at the device I nearly did not buy one because of that but then getting one in my hands at B&N changed my mind.
[Nook Color General] techboydino:
The front bezel is a "tape and cover" paint job. The screen is glued to the frame pretty solid. I had mine apart to fiddle around and to get the back off for a mold. Most of the screws are Torx #5 or #6. Tape it off good and you should be ok as far as the front bezel. The rear and metal frame you can easily get to by proper disassembly.
[Nook Color General] succulent:
Here's the zdnet guide,

http://www.zdnet.com/photos/nookcolor-teardown/487636?seq=21

Here's what I did.

You'll need a torx 5. After you unscrews the 2 screws by the sd slot, use your nail along the chamfer corner to lift the back siding up. Then use a credit card to lift the back up and run along the edge to unhinged the back.
[Nook Color General] WillCameron:
techboydino, are you going to make a new front bezel? might be a small after market for such things. I'd pick up a more solid one if the price was right. :-)

actually metal front and back pieces would rock...

- Will.
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
I would like to see a silicon back cover case that has a kickstand..
[Nook Color General] techboydino:
I was really considering metal but the fact that most would have to really take special care to actually seperate the bezel from the screen really kind of set me off that. making a case for this is rediculously hard. (compared to my attempts at other devices. if you ever seperated a screen for a cell phone from the glass then you know what I mean. I am trying to replace the back with aluminum and wanted to do a carbon fiber front. so far everything is too thick or just plain looks bad.

[Nook Color General] martian21:
Your best bet is probably to pick up a smoked one off EBay or one with a cracked screen and a good bezel.

[Nexus S Android Development] navalynt:
I was really getting tired of my carrier name showing up twice on the lockscreen and taking up extra real estate on my notification drop-down so I figured out how to disable the SPN from showing and how to customize the PLMN to say whatever I want.

KEY FILES TO EDIT

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/optable.db

/system/etc/apns-conf.xml

/system/etc/spn-conf.xml

In the apns-conf.xml make sure your provider is listed with a numeric value.

Here's an example: numeric="311370" mcc="311" mnc="370"

* As you can see the numeric is the MCC plus the MNC.

In the spn-conf.xml make sure your provider is listed with an spnOverride.

Here's an example: <spnOverride numeric="311370" spn_display_rule="SPN_RULE_SHOW_PLMN" spn_override_only_on="310,311"/>

The optable.db needs to be edited with SQLite Database Browser to add your numeric and the text to display.

[Nexus S Android Development] nickmv:
How exactly did you get these files? I'm having all sorts of trouble with this. First off, the optable.db file is zero K, even when I extract it through ASTRO or Root Explorer with R/W permissions. Secondly, as I mentioned in the last post, the 3rd file is missing from the stated directory.
