Exactly, simple logic. I don't think there's any way to bring down your argument so... don't expect a discussion :p

Believe me I've read hundreds of pages of people complaining because someone was charging for installing a map, rom, etc. and they just can't make a solid point about it.

Remember the Linux example, it's one of the best I ever heard off. You take free software and charge for your time when installing it. You can even make money installing paid software like Microsoft Exchange, Windows, etc. You're not stealing from M$. You're just offering a service for someone that cannot do it by his own.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Monrad:
Morally incorrect? Why? You think it's easy because you're used to doing it. You have experience while others don't.

Some people don't have the experience and don't even want to know about it. They just want the job done and that's how they work. It's called to "delegate tasks".

We cannot do everything by ourselves. That's why we study and learn different things in life and we search people to make the work we cannot do by ourselves.

He isn't really selling his work..Useless thread
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
That is a very good and precise point.

I myself know sweet FA about linux, what I do know you could write on a back of a stamp. If I wanted/needed a specific linux setup/configuration I would ask/pay somebody else to do it simply because I wanted it doing correctly without any hassle.

Some people didnt have a good enough education/or simply dont learn easily to be able to comprehend simple logic or concepts like this so like the OP they resort to childish responses like he did. I really did "lol" because after my point earlier I seriously did know that he would answer in that way, I could just tell, its typical of people to resort to that level of maturity when they cant think of a proper answer/challenge.

Thanks for also adding your opinions guys, I was beginning to think I was going crazy :P

dude.. seriously ya'll think it's right to do it.. and what's the crap about experience.. The chef's can't possibly make it easier.. It's just that some people don't have the mind at times to google it and jump at the sight of android for some $$.. and dude.. if u think it's right i ain't saying it's illegal.. but then why don't u urself do it eh?? :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpk0875:
can someone please tell me how to disable auto brightness on

x10i eternity rom build 003

i tried using every brightness app/widget possible to turn it off but as soon as i turn it off and put the phone under different light setting i can see that the auto brightness is still on

i tried using adjbrightness but it keeps telling me that my phone isnt rooted; anyone get this app to work on x10??

please help n sorry if this questions been asked and answered before. this forum is getting too big and broad sometimes to find anything

thx in advance
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cebees:
Have you tried Sparepart? (That's the name)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinity1988:
Strange, i can't seem to turn on my autobrightness. It used to work perfectly in android 1.6. And i haven't noticed it untill recently. When auto brightness is checked, it just stays the same, even when i hold it directly under a lamp. Maby there is a bug in the software that prevents switching it on or off?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldolo:
I'd also like an answer to this problem, because with auto brightness on the telephone is a battery eater.. you have to keep it to the minimum level to disable it, but when you are under a strong light, like outdoor with a sunny weather, it's difficult to see your screen's details. as you select a brightness level different from zero, the autobrightness turns on and eats the battery.

I hope I'm missing the solution to this, and somebody will help, because all the applications i've tried (spareparts included) didn't worked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cebees:
I'm quite confuse now.....

What actually do we need......

Turn it on...

or

Turn it off...

LOL
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollyrogue:
heh, so some people want a way to turn it off and others, like me, want to find a way to turn it on?

what a crazy phone..

I'm sure there used to be a tick box in the display settings to turn on/off the auto brightness. Anyway, i've tried various applications myself to get it on but nothing does it. I think the best solution is for us all to swap phones :P.

Spare Parts doesn't work for me, i tried enabling it, restarting the phone and jumping under my duvet.. but it didn't change :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BingoRingo:
Did you update to 2.1? It was disabled in 2.1 as far as I know.

So the easiest solution, upgrade to 2.1! Else, I don't remember the menu but it's somewhere in the settings under 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldolo:
I think we've all updated to 2.1 here =)

and yes, in 1.6 there was a box to tick to unable/disable autobrightness.

But, in 2.1, this feature has disappeared, leaving a seekbar and a damned widget which doesn't allow you to set or no autobrightness.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MxCraft:
Hi,

The autobrightness is still there. It can be turned on/of from a stock SE connection widget. The different state for brightness is "minimum" -> "auto" -> "maximum"
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeoneSimple:
Thats pretty much, exactly, what dpk0875 said, if i'm not mistaken.

I can get, either 0%, or 100% brightness, with the ambient sensor disabled. Anything in-between, fades constantly.

No fix for this, i presume?

Reading websites while the screen fades in/out every couple of seconds drives me mad. :mad:

[Nexus S General] sam4free:
my first post here, take it easy with me ;)

with the SNS's perfect display reading books is like charm..

however, when using adobe reader with the text reflow function (menu -> view mode -> text reflow) the app just refuses to scroll by touch

i googled and found that in this mode, adobe reader will only scroll by trackball -which is not present in SNS-

any suggestions/ideas?
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
Turn off reflow when you want to use the app and contact the developer about said problem.
[Nexus S General] stonew5082:
Adobe's reader sucks horrribly. Ezpdf has reflow with pinch zoom, scrolling, CUSTOM bookmarks and more. Shell out the dollar.
[Nexus S General] sam4free:
tominater12: thanks, i have already done that (i'm not THAT noob :p) but was just wondering if anyone already has a solution ..

stonew5082: Thank u very much, i'll give EZpdf a try and from what u said, i think i'm gonna love it ..

Did a search under the HD2 forums and got nothing. I don't have an SD card yet, and I currently cannot take any pictures because it is set to save to the SD card. Am I totally overlooking something, or can you not change the default path that the camera saves to? I'm using the newest Clean Desire build and have tried the default camera app as well as Camera 360. Thanks in advance for the help.
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
When I am trying to install the update.zip I am getting the following message:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8

--Install form sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted

But I know and triple check that the file (update) is on the root directory

What I am doing wrong?:confused:
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Are you using Rom Manager? Don't, reboot into recovery

Make sure the update.zip is not update.zip.zip

Make sure the update.zip is not a .rar file

Its much better to "Select the zip file" than it is to let cwm pick the update.zip on the root of the sdcard
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
This is what I did:

*Unzipped the gtab_tnt_lite_v4.10.rar to the root directory

*Reboot

*I hold power button + Vol

*Took me into recovery

*Chose apply sacard:update.zip

*Got the error message

:(
[G Tablet General] it2steve:
Did the gtab_tnt_lite_v4.10.rar unzip to the filename 'update.zip'? you need to look at the name of the file pulled from that .rar.file. If it's something other than update.zip then you need to select ' install .zip from sd card' in recovery, then select your .zip file manually
[G Tablet General] palagai:
The rar has the update.zip, but read somewhere that CWM 0.8 finds the update.zip in sdcard and other latest CWM looks the update.zip in sdcard2.

so try CWM 0.8 , or if you have an MIcroSD copy the files to it and run.
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
The file update is named correctly

I selected the "choose zip from sdcard" it took me to the micro card not the internal sdcard.
[G Tablet General] palagai:
Then i would try CWM 0.8 (since this has been tested by many including the mods and recommended ) or try copying the files to the internal memory.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If you have Rom Manager installed then scroll down to the bottom when you open it to "Flash Alternate Recovery" and you should be able to flash ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1-bekit=0.8. Then reboot into recovery.

Do you have cm6 installed on your tab? If you do then it handles the sdcards differently and you may have to put the update.zip on the external sdcard and flash from there.
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
Thank you @thebadfrog flashing the ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1-bekit=0.8 as a alternate recovery works.
[A7 General] cpg716:
Just got word we should have another update this weekend, possibly by today.

Main issues to be addressed in this current update are the SD Card available space issue, WIFI issues, and MAC address format issue.

This will be followed by another update in just a short time, they wanted to get those crucial updates out first. They are trying to walk the fine line of publishing too many updates and waiting too long in between them.

Stream TV Networks does remain committed to the eLocity A7 and is working to improve their customer service.

The update will be here once it is published : http://elocitynow.com/support_downloads.shtml

cpg716,

Since you have an ear, try to talk them into adding CIFs to the kernel and 3g USB support. That would make this tablet a strong competitor. Thanks for the update.
[A7 General] sagggas:
Thanks, that's great news. I'm hoping Stream TV is able to follow through.

Google Kwaak3 for details. Fun to put together and run on Vegan 5.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gunsjoe:
The weirdest thing is market was horked after adding the loop file system at that time I was running tnt, so with nothing to lose I installed vegan. Now I have much more market but there is no telling how much I am missing. Last time I searched TV.com I had 15 results now I get two. Lots of the trouble is probably Google.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
No guarantees, but I've been messing with market, and I just got tank hero. I used Titanium backup and cleared data for market then for googleservicesframework, then started market, and bam. It was there!

Again, no guarantees!

It was frustrating me so I modified the build.prop and changed the fingerprint to the galaxy tab. Now I have tank heros. Lost tv.com but seem to have much more. I also noticed that some games are fitting the screen better.the biggest benefit I see I don't get the retry any more.

Thanks BitBanger! Using the wii controller is a great idea. Although I will admit that I was hoping someone had created a touchscreen overlay for kwaakk3!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
All root does is give you the ability to change things you couldn't change otherwise. You won't lose anything by rooting. No reinstalling necessary.

If you get the oneclick 2.5.5, it will root AND give you clockworkmod recovery which will allow you to do full back ups of your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svcbadass:
To use oneclick 2.5.5 I would need a pc correct? I currently don't have access to one so I was hopeing to use the z4root app and be able to install clockwork is this possible?
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
I had for two months a MT4G and first I hated it because it was so different. I came from a Nexus One with Stock Froyo and Sense UI was overwhelming me. After 2 months I really appreciated all the small nice features that HTC integrated that stock android never had. Additionally, the MT4G is a great, fast and well built phone (I had also trouble with squeaky buttons and the bad screen) and Froyo 2.2.1 with Sense was running very smoothly on it. Last weekend I dropped my MT4G and the screen broke and the buttons and trackpad scratched. So I took the opportunity to buy the Samsung Nexus S. I wanted to give it a try and wanted to see how gingerbread looks. The phone is nice except the already known flaws. The SAMOLED is for my taste too dark and not sharp enough. But I could definitely live with that. The most disappointing thing was gingerbread. I couldn't believe what a half baked version of android Google put on this phone. It's embarrassing. The browser is useless with or without flash because it is not hardware accelerated? Everything is choppy and laggy. I had the MT4G before and its browser is smooth and fast. The NS is a pain while scrolling between homescreens....it lags, it misses swipes it drove me nuts. I tried several homelaunchers and the lag on the homescreen and the missed swipes were still present. I wanted to try the FFC just to realize that it is not supported by any 3rd market software (Tango doesn't really work) and neither by Google itself. Are you really kidding me? Yesterday after a week I had enough. Today I returned the phone mainly because of gingerbread and I am happily awaiting my MT4G. I will buy one tonight and I couldn't be more happy with HTC and Sense. I am not even anxiously waiting for gingerbread anymore for my MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
thanks, may pass on the nexus s and wait for another 4g phone before switching to tmobile. thought about buying a new mytouch 4g and trading it for the nexus s and going on a two year contract .
[myTouch 4G General] ags29:
The problem was probably it being by Samsung. Many users have reported Gingerbread running fine on HTC phones.
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
Could be. But most of the bugs should have been observed prior to release of this phone. The browser lag, flash unusable and that the phone reboots while on the phone doesn't sound like they tested the NS vigorously. The Nexus S is officially not a dev phone and to put something like that to BestBuy is unbelievable. BTW I had two Nexus S and both were buggy.
[myTouch 4G General] stratax:
gingerbrad on the mytouch 4g runs amazing.. its the nexus s lol.

id still trade my mytouch 4g for one though. idk why :o
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
I'm tempted to, hopefully going to check it out tomorrow. If I like it I may purchase a mytouch 4g for $99 on a two year contract. Trade the mytouch 4g for a nexus s then, and still have my old mytouch 4g which I purchased off craigslist for $250 brand new.
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
I have now my MT4G again and I am so happy with it. Try the Nexus S before you buy it. Stock Android and the Nexus line are dead for me.
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
I do like cm7, haven't really used the stock mytouch rom since I'm unlocked many features for tmobile. would keep the nexus s as a back up
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
I would buy an NS again if they will figure out which are hardware defects and which are bugs.
[myTouch 4G General] Jaskwith:
Got the best of both worlds here... MT4G running cm7 which is basically gingerbread ..

Sent from my MT4G running Gingerbread :)
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
yes the nexus s does seem half baked, the nexus one was a solid phone and wouldn't mind picking up another one.
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
LOL. I know what you mean. I still don't understand why some people with NS have no problems at all; I had two and both had the same problems. Either they immediately root their phones and put some custom roms on it or they are ignorant. I try yo get the best bang for my bucks and at the moment it is the MT4G with Froyo. I don't even want a custom rom with gingerbread 2.3.1 on my MT4G at the moment. I wait until Gingerbread includes the new music player and GTalk supports the FFC. Let's hope soon:-)
[myTouch 4G General] spimonkey34:
I had the same experience. I had a Nexus S for 2 weeks and it was terribly laggy.

I sent it back. Lucky I hadn't sold my MyTouch yet because now with CM7 Gingerbread is super snappy and amazing.

I blame Samsung. I had the Vibrant before the MT4G and it sucked as well.
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
I actually did like the vibrant, voodoo lagfix was pretty solid but kinda sucked having to turn it off to flash another rom. Loved the screen, but overall the phone did feel cheap
[myTouch 4G General] spimonkey34:
I agree. Post voodoo the vibrant was a beast. It's just too bad Samsung couldn't get it right out of the box.
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
Regarding the screen on the NS, I just realized that I am not a big fan of SAMOLED displays. I would always prefer a SLCD. I like the bright and sharp displays over the more vibrant but less sharp SAMOLED.
[myTouch 4G General] going_home:
I got the NS and had it for a week and returned it.

So disappointing, the worst was not having a track pad.

Same day bought a MT4G off Craigslist.

First day I hated it, the stock browser is the worst I've ever seen.

Then I got Skyfire off the market and now I think the MT4G is the best

phone I've ever used.

I'm not giving up on the Nexus line, I still have an N1, I'm just giving up on Samsung.

;)
[myTouch 4G General] epsix:
Is anyone here are excited about Samsung Vibrant 4G? FFC and HSPA+ up to 21mbps? but the same old style lol..what is up with Samsung? can't they change their style? hehehe
[myTouch 4G General] STHNS:
Ewww I see Samsung failed and at it again, they have a thing for repeating and screwing users over and over. IDK why people even buy Samsung based phones these days didn't they learn from being abandoned?

BTW epsix read this thread MT4G is capped at 14.4 mb's about new Vibrant 4G in this forum we all covered it there. Its just marketing gimmick hence TMO haven't officially updated the Vibrant with 2.2 OTA? You know why? due to Samsung telling them not to as there is no diff between 4G and reg Vibrant lol other than it has AOS2.2 lol man you have to love Samsung they sure thing people are crazy or something.

PS: Folks stick with MT4G is superior than NS.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I will never buy a samsung or a motorola as long as they keep pulling all that efuse garbage just out of principle. I've only had HTC phones and have been very happy. They aren't perfect, but they are way better the alternatives. Sure there are consistent QC issues between HTC phones (light leak, dust under screen, etc) but just keep trading the phones out til they get it right.

I might be open to getting one of the phones by some of these new manufacturers that are coming into the game but I would probably not be one of the bleeding edge and would wait to see other ppls reactions.

Edit: And all I can do it SMH at this "Vibrant 4G with 21mbps+ speeds". I am living in a HSPA+ city and I have yet to see over 5mbps on 4G much less the 14.4mbps the MT4G is capped at. So basically with the Vibrant 4G you are paying for a theoretical speed cap you will likely never even see half of and yes you are getting froyo, but gingerbread is already out and a NON-ROOTED vibrant 4g will probably never see gingerbread".
[myTouch 4G General] STHNS:
LOL itmustbejj you hit the nail right on the head. I mean by now the PR and Dev team should be fired at Samsung only thing they manage to produce was failed BS which only makes the user go anti-samsung. Hence what they think about the avg users? lol thats what you really are paying for theoretical speed on a network that didn't even came in the game of so called 4G until the ITU changed it and now HSPA+ can be considered 4G. You have to love company and their gimmicks...
