[Nexus S Accessories] Jayrod1980:
I've heard the ghost armor and bse full body skins are similar in thickness etc and my argyle smoke case from them doesn't fit well. One side of the bezel seems to show regardless of how I put it in, mostly because its so tight. I wonder what its like without the skin on it. Its not really possible for me to check though because I don't have another sns. I ordered the glossy black one now since you said it fits fine with the skin on. The ghost armored is significantly thinner than the zagg by the way. How hard was yours to get into the case?

Its snug no doubt but no trouble at all getting on.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jayrod1980:
Ok. My black one came in the mail and though it fits better than the last one, its not what I would call perfect. The bezel is partly exposed on the top and a little on each side. Anyone else experience this? This is my second one and neither fully cover the bezel
[Nexus S Accessories] Jayrod1980:
Also. Its good quality but the edges are sharp. I'm worried taking the case off and on will eventually scratch it.
[Nexus S Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Hi guys, tpu-cases.com is my site. Never saw this thread or I would of chimed in earlier. Do you have the i9020 Nexus S or the i9023? The cases will not fit the i9023 correctly. I have never received any reports of the cases I sell not covering the bezel fully on the i9020. The i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020 and causes the case to bow out on the side. The cases also fit the new Nexus S 4G quite well.
[Nexus S Accessories] brandaopj:
The matte one is not available anymore?

Do you ship to europe? I have the 9020 model.

How do I flash the SPF file just in case I get a bricked Pro? I have a rooted Droid Pro with ClockworkMod Recovery installed from the Droid 2 Bootstrap.

I know how to go into CWM Recovery but only from the bootstrap... let's say my Droid Pro gets bricked and it doesn't start up and only gets stuck in a boot loop, then how do I flash the SBF file?

Thanks for the help, wish there was a fool-proof guide, I'm too spoiled from the ease of flashing a Droid Incredible.
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
You don't need CWM recovery to flash the stock SBF, you need it for installing CMW backups.

If your phone is bricked, use the stock recovery and flash the stock SBF. Stock recovery: R + M + Power on.

And after you get a working phone, re-flash CWM Recovery & the bootstrap, and use the backup you have.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
When I try power + R + M all I get is an exclamation mark and the android logo?
[Droid Pro General] al2x:
Tell me if this is right...

I hold down both up/down volume buttons and then turn on, and then it shows me the Motorola locked bootloader screen that says "Plug in USB for programming"

Say I plug in my USB to my PC that has Moto Drivers & RSD Lite can I just flash the SBF that way? Nobody has really said literately how to do it, so I don't truly know since I have zero experience flashing Moto phones.
[Droid Pro General] @Class:
To flash SBF:

- Turn on USB debugging

- Connect phone to PC in PC mode

- Open RDS Lite as ADMINISTRATOR (right click on the .exe and go to run as Administrator)

- Select your SBF

- Click Start
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
@class: You're right and I'm wrong, I got recovery and boot loader modes mixed up.

al2x: Try what @class said.
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
Is there a way to flash the SBF from a Mac (no RSD Lite) ?
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
sbf from Mac command line

Rephrasing my own question - Is there a way to flash sbf using Mac OSX unix command line (Terminal)? JM

mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-pro-discussions/6042-droid-pro-sbf-file-2-26-20-full-rsdlite.html

2nd post is the Droid Pro SBF Files. They are at 2.26.20 so you will have to do a 14mb update after the SBF install.

You will need RSDLite to unbrick your droid.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BraCa:
Hi guys,

I've updated my Galaxy S I9000 from 2.2 to 2.2.1 JPX with KIES (when the JPX came out), i've used SuperOneClick v1.55 to root the phone, and I haven't used no lagfix app.

The first time this problem occour was when I left the phone ran out of battery, the phone turned off, then when I started it, it seemed that it was partly reset, as it showed me that initial screen, that let me configure the phone, and my home screen was empty, and I had a lot of Force Closes..In that time, I didn't care as it was the first, so I have flashed 2.2.1 JPX again (with KIES), and rooted it...Then i've installed all my apps again (ROM MAnager, SGS Tools, Titatnium Backup, Fruit Ninja ....)

I've been using the phone for a couple of weeks, and today, I needed to swap the SIM card to let a user make a call, so I turned my device off (by shutting down in the menu..)

I've changed the SIM card, turned it on, it worked well, no problem...

Then I did the same to change back to my own SIM card, when I started the phone...it was a mess again, my home screen was empty, a lot of Force Closes...

I don't know what's causing this, this problem only occours sometimes when I turn the phone off... Is there any solution for this? What's causing this?

I don't want to reinstall all my apps everytime I need to turn the phone off :(

(sorry for my english...)

edit: i've tried the "Fix permissions" thing, but it didnt help :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanechinaman:
Hey all, I own a G1 on tmobile's network. I've been trying to send SMS in Chinese, but when I send them, the recipient only gets ***** instead of Chinese characters. For example, if I send 你好, they would get **. I did some research, and eventually found out that it has something to do with unicode support. I installed Handcent, which says it has unicode support but the same problem is present. Does anyone know how to make it work?

Thanks

EDIT: Apparently, if I send it to others on T-Mobile's network, it displays fine, but if I send to a different network, then it becomes stars.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neumanntm:
I think that everyone you send it to has to have it supported on their phone. Not 100% sure though... Hope this helps.

Taylor
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanechinaman:
The person I sent to has an iPhone, and was able to send something in Chinese back to me, and I received it fine. When I contacted T-Mobile about this, they gave me some BS about how other carriers (such as AT&T and Verizon) do not have the right encoders for T-Mobile's unicode texts or something.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drtabbah:
That's a known issue with Tmobile, they just have to blame it on any and everything else they can. it's the only network that you can't send any foreign language from it to another network. very frustrating. the last thing I got when I called them (and after ruling out everything else possible) is "it's a known issue, we are working on it" but it's been like this for years.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rprp:
CDMA does not support Chinese SMS

As far as I know all CDMA providers in North America does not support Chinese at all! It is their system, not the phone. My wife have a Palm Treo 700p(CDMA) & I have a Palm 680(GSM). I can sent & receive Chinese, she can sent but turns out garbage on the other side.

It is for a module called research methods, where we are supposed to show how can we research about something.

Obviously I decided to do a research about how the android market works. I don't think my assigned teacher would know so much about Android but I wanted so badly to do something about android :D.

Honestly, the number of answers received it's amazing! But I feel like I have to ask for more. :D

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enjoycool:
Hi,

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Cyberwuulf:
Use Barnacle: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740698

search for it in the market

you could found that information in the wiki or with some searching in this post in the x10 mini/pro General Forum
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Raaert:
I use Barnacle Wifi Tether as Cyberwuulf already said.

It supports WEP encryption on my x10 mini pro, and works perfectly every time, super fast - And ive sent in a few good ideas to the dev which he promised to implement in the future.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Annoymous Man:
It works with my X10 Mini with PC connection, but fails to get connected by Xperia X8, and I'm still working out with other phones tomorrow... Please note that my X10 Mini is running 2.1, rooted.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Annoymous Man:
And I got it works with my X8 too, before I read the following:confused: Ad-hoc mode only:

Can you make Barnacle use infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?

If one could make an Android phone look like a real access point (rather than an ad-hoc network), then it would improve compatibility and allow better security. Unfortunately, to make a wifi client behave like an access point requires fundamental changes in the device driver. The hardware vendors of the wireless interfaces present in most Android devices did not include such capability.

What one can do, however, is use Connectify to make their laptop running Windows 7 appear as a real access point. In combination with Barnacle it should be possible to connect many restricted devices (PS3, DSi, etc.) to the Internet.

[Epic 4G General] Restola:
CW 3.0.0.5 or cw 2.5.1.2?

Does it make a difference which I use to do my nandroid backups? I'm using Nebula which still requires flashing in CW 2.5...so that's why I ask.

Also I did a backup yesterday in each, and when I tried to restore from both they both said md5 checksum fail. I had to restore from an older backup. What would cause that?
[Epic 4G General] Tortel1210:
Did you rename the backup? That messes it up.

I dont think the CWM version matters, I restored a backup from 2.5 in 3 after an upgrade
[Epic 4G General] Restola:
Yeah I renamed them. thanks for the answer on that.
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
When renaming don't use space and keep it simple some characters don't work (for me).

[Epic 4G General] boborone:
Not sure how it's done on the epic side of things, but nobody does nandroid backups in the captivate, vibrant, or i9k forums. Clockworkmod doesn't save the modems or kernals and such all the time so it doesn't back em up. Therefore you can be restoring a rom over a bad kernal flash, or incompatible modem, ect. Just keep the cw update.zip on the sd, odin to stock, use titanium backup to restore apps. Android ID changer to restore id and your good.

thanx in advance

owen
[G Tablet General] theindependent:
Fairly sure that the idea of an optical drive in Android isn't going to happen in the near future unless some industrious person decides to code a driver for it. The idea of a removable media drive (other than solid-state/flash) for Android goes against the grain of the web-centric philosophy behind the OS.

HP DVD

I just tried a AC powered HP DVD/CD drive, model dvd555s-H073

Didn't work.

Bill
[G Tablet General] no-success:
Actually I think it would work without any kind of driver, since it would be through USB, and should just show up like any other USB drive. I think the main problem is powering a DVD drive through the USB. I tested out my USB only dvdrw drive but the drive was slow to spin up, which makes me think its underpowerered. I think if you had an externally powered usb drive then it might work fine for reading files and moving them onto the gtab (using a file explorer). I do doubt that there would be any way to watch DVD movies off of an external drive if that's what you were trying to do.
[G Tablet General] no-success:
Or maybe not :)

If anyone misses the Galaxy S news widget this is a good replacement and you can personalize it!
[Android Themes] player911:
I use the Pure Messaging Widget trying to replace the Launcher Pro's Twitter and Facebook version while running ADW.

I bought ADW EX and the Pure Messaging widget. And some reason I'm getting force closes. I also don't like Pure Messenger how it keeps launching http://touch.facebook.com every time I click a link vs the Facebook App like Launcher Pro's widget does.

I do like the fact that you can customize and add themes. I like to have my Twitter and facebook full pages and 2 separate apps. It is kind of a pain that you can't save layouts because if one freaks out you have to build it from scratch again.

The end result is nice, but is a pain to keep running and I find that it doesn't like to update when it should although I have both Twitter and Facebook to update 15min.
[Android Themes] Vulpix:
Just to add on, for those into GTD apps, Due Today has a scrollable widget too. Really powerful app.

Launch-X Pro just got a huge update, and has built in support for scrolling now! :D
[Android Themes] Vulpix:
Is the thread dead? :(
[Android Themes] AquaeAtrae:
Not dead I hope. It wasn't easy finding these; most are poorly advertised as "scrollable", if mentioned at all. Though I do fear the collection may already represent every scrollable widget currently available. Definitely let me know if I've missed any.

I can only hope to help spread the idea, perhaps encouraging more developers to think "outside the box" and push these few even further with their own potential. Fortunately, Android development is still in its infancy and growing exponentially. If others find these as useful as I do, I'm sure the list (and our home screens) will be filling out nicely over the coming months.

PS: I spotted some helpful developer resources on the Appwidget Extensions Google Group and there's talk of starting a wiki which I think would be great. I'll add these to the OP.

How to Make Scrollable Widgets - a nice overview walkthru by Stephen
[Android Themes] Vulpix:
Yeah it's kinda sad. :( Colorize is awesome but I want to be able to see both Facebook and Twitter entries in one widget. I just want a widget that looks like LPP's Friend and Calender ones, but no one has made anything similar. Pure Calender is just plain ugly even if it's very functional.
[Android Themes] AquaeAtrae:
You're not alone, Vulpix. Colorize ended up being the widget that I was looking for and one I've most recommended to others (mostly because its poorly named/advertised). However, I too really wanted to see all my social networks aggregated. I emailed the developer gently requesting exactly that, along with my compliments and a small bug report. Haven't heard back yet but I'm sure they're just as busy as the rest of us. Regardless, I've got Colorize plaster across several of my screens. Still, might be worthwhile if others weighed in. ;)

Vulpix, you are just on it. Thanks again. I've added Open Home to the OP.
[Android Themes] Vulpix:
Everyone loves scrollable stuff right? :D BTW, I believe Colorize has gotten to a stage that it's now better than LPP's one. Wall posts that you have posted in getting updates will be bumped to the top whenever there's a new reply in it. I absolutely love this feature! I'm just waiting for the pro version to be out.
