I don't think samba triggers the media scanner like the usb transfer does. Maybe you can ask the samba dev to add that code to the app in fact all the wireless apps don't trigger it from what I've seen. would be nice to have an app that runs the media scanner for things like this.

Edit: wait! it does exist. Look for rescan media on they market!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Thanks for the info, I now have Rescan Media installed. Will see how that works. Also I emailed the Dev of SAMBA Fileshare to see what he had to say.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Ok, I never noticed it, but in the Menu of SAMBA Fileshare, there is an option to Scan Media.

All is good now.

I have not viewed other flash vids from other sites so I dont know if I get it as well. You tube works fine, no bar.

Did the nightlies fix the disappearing dock issue I'm having with rc1?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
I thought I had the same issue... It appears that ADW has a "swipe up" to make dock disappear and "swipe down" to make it reappear. Give that a try.

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
It's not really to make the Dock Disappear. It is to show the Hidden Dock. You can add app shortcuts to the hidden dock, just swipe up on the dock to display the hidden dock and then drag any app short cuts from your home screen to the hidden dock. Then swipe down to close(hide) the hidden dock and display the normal dock.

When you want, just swipe up and see the hidden dock and access your shortcuts.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
LOL... Yes, you are right. But when you don't have any "hidden dock" apps it just makes your real dock disappear.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] ziggy34:
Yeah, that's why I go in to the settings and turn the Hidden Dock off.

Nightly build #8 with faux123 kernel v1.3 lower voltage
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I looks like mostly some calling and standby - but still good.

I have build #12 with faux CM 2.0 low voltage set at 368/1612 and Smartass Governor. 24 hours with exactly 3 hours calling (combination of WiFi and network with 2/3 also using Bluetooth), some ROM downloads and a few reflashes, plus moderate internet use (4-5 hours) - had 20% left after 24 hours. Also, overnight standby only used 6% versus historical (maybe 40 ROMs) of 10-14%.

Working pretty good overall, except WiFi takes a while to get reconnected (think it is the kernel and is being worked on).

What I found to burn my battery more than even gaming is listening to music. I see a sharp drop in battery life when I use the music player. Easily cuts 50% of the battery life for me.

You sure? I am always listening to music and browsing, sometime on this forum via Tap posting and I see little to no diff. You have headset enabled right? using earbud? Without music I see close to 2-3% per 30min diff which is normal.

VENT: Do NOT Test

SOB I finally did it is there any known jTAG dumps for MT4G? lol I should have known better not to play with the emmc partition. The phone is not hard/soft bricked but I am at the point where there is no recovery as all data is gone and literally do mean /data is gone not erased completely gone.

Rebooted and saw this werid screen I am not even sure how to explain it as I never seen it myself. Not sure that **** was even there till now as I was trying to replicate Fail-PU by this guy who also bricked his phone. It not only try to rescan the SDCard but killed it also (verified via SDCard reader) :O FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFk.

There is hope oooh man I hate doing this why do I always have to test things, freaking now I know what they mean by curiosity killed the cat. Now all hope is not lost as I can manually reconstruct the file allocation table and access the raw data from the SDCard and pull it as the cell has not been over written. So that takes care of the SDCard but I have to wait till new NB comes out as ATM screen is totally blank. I am not going to try it with old build as if new build does come out I can fix it and go back. This way I get clean install at least taking it I can go back.

PS: This is vent post by me don't try to post solution as I am aware of the technical hardware and software implantation in greater details then anyone here. Now I remember why I loved my HD2 as I could virtually rip it apart and even revert back from hard brick :P by manually opening the SoC and using jTAG to dump the image.

SanDisk EMMC RESEARCH

Let me see the rom that was on device was CM7(90% of flash A+NB) the rom that ill put back after I am done will be guess what? So where do you think I should post this? Be thankful people like me even exist as we actually do the real hacking it so people like you find easy howto guide to revert back.

First thing is first ATM I am I have kSH setup as I pull the raw data of my SDCard which is around 21GB. Thank god for the EMC controller even with force rewrite of MBR reconstructing 21GB is not easy. Already done it once as but I am taking it due to high voltage supplied it shorted the SDCard as the only explanation. The partition to it was never written as it using the same pCIL-ID and its verified but corrupted FAT. Getting the data is the easy part I wish I did a full dump from /data before I try to manually change the cylinder and attribute do the emmc using sharping techniques.

Sent from my HTC Glacier

^ JK manually sent from my PC via THE hand as MT4G-RIP(ETA 1day) till full recovery.

Something still good can come out of this extended research for failed partition update. I am sure if I try to revert back with PD15IMG now ill most likely ruin beyond with soft-brick and as I don't have the actual dump so I can't even drop it to revert back manually. Since the size of the partition is not that big ill try to do low level update on it I hope my 7node-cluster (IBM i580 BlackSHELF) come in handy now with the proc power. The sequence id is still 64bits.

First, I've read some of your lengthy, long-winded posts. Virtually all of them are technologically masturbatory. (that means you go on and on patting yourself on the back about your resumé.) And none of them are particularly helpful. Just a lot of boast.

Secondly, you don't know me or what I can our can't do, but I can tell you that "people like me" can tell you that your post had nothing to do with this thread.

So please, lady, start a new thread next time you bork your phone and feel the urge to flex your amazing hacker skillz.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] BlackSHELF:
Ill just ask you simple question how would you manually access the NAND on MT4G? forget about reading/writing to it much less sharping the attribute to change the cylinder size without compromising the data. Keep on reading you might actually acquire some knowledge out of this but I seriously know for a fact you wouldn't even come close to being in this position which is a good thing as you would virtually have bricked it.

This is going to be difficult but....Does anyone know how to disable the little new orange arrow in cm7 (I'm assuming it's a gingerbread thing) that pops up when typing something?... Is it possible to get the simple copy and paste that was in cm6....rather then....long press, select all, press again then copy....what is this an iphone?! Lol I find even the optical track pad was more responsive in cm6. I can understand why it would be implemented for phones without a trackpad but I find it redundant on our phone... Any help would be appreciated.

Well buddy lol IDK about psyduck there but I am cool. Just physically dismantled it few mins ago. I can't wait for next NB :O other than that no way in hell I am going back from start might well as start it with new build anyways. Good news is SDCard is functional. Now the eMMc is 4GB since we are using MLC-EUDA for partition archistructure on the NAND the size is half of that and /data=1GB. I am guess from that 200mb or so was used by me so this shouldn't be that difficult.

I keep seeing people posting their screen shots of their battery usage, and they have really low % on android system. Mine in always 50 something it almost 60 or even more. Just wiped flashed smartass and #12 (again) but these are the stats I always get. Why is my system usage so high when I have task killer pro running and not even using phone that much? What am I missing?

Way back in the previews (before nightlies) Zinx himself specifically stated not to use task killers as they do more harm than good.

Android is very good at managing memory and this phone is so powerful that it's kind of a moot point.

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] BlackSHELF:
True in simple terms disable service and don't waste time with task killer unless something does not respond due to bug/leak.

As android is running linux based variant by default it shares few similarities. As one of them includes superior memory management which is not same as WinMo. In our world UNIX world (long before this POS Android newbie stuff was even born) we had a saying that unused memory is wasted memory. So when anything is allocated it is cached and its not released until anything requires it to be reallocated. Now this can happen from few things as memory is still cached if user were to access it by rerunning it then it will still be available but if the resource is unused based on the access recalls its released based on chronologically.

Now anyone who thinks task management is not required even on UNIX/Linux much less on Android is simply a fool who shouldn't do anything as they are harm to the system. With that being said if you are required to shut something down forcefully due to memory leak or other factors you should do it only if you know what you are doing as it will not be fully released until you do warm boot.

If you need greater access to system resource then I suggest you take control of service and disable things that you do not need. Once again if you don't know what you are doing then leave it alone. As you can disable service at boot and some service do restart in that case you can also setup policies to shut it down if its restarted.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
If you really need to shut down some runaway process you can do that through apps settings.

So my friend just got an mt4g, and we decided to play around with the video calling..him using the standard stock rom, me using CM7 nightly 12. Qik chat worked fine for him, but for me it would only recognize my rfc. The button to flip to the ffc was greyed out and pushing it did nothing. I've taken a picture with the fc since switching to cm7, so I know it works. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] importflip:
FFC hasn't been working with CM7+Qik.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] djdeviance:
Qik doesn't work on the CM series for mt4g. Many have started using Tango. Volume isn't very loud though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Lint6:
Are Tango and Qik cross compatible? Can I use Tango and call him when he uses Qik? Or do I need to tell him to switch?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] graffixnyc:
If you change your build.prop from HTC glacier to Nexus S and use the tmobile qik app you can now use the FCC to record a video message but I haven't tested out the video chat.

I think the value is something like ro.productname or something like that. Its towards the top of the build prop.

Edit: its ro.product.model. change that from HTC Glacier to Nexus S

All task killers are not created equal. I agree that the ones that actively work in background probably do more harm than good. But some apps, like the browser, GMail, etc. do not turn off when you exit. I use a manual task killer to turn them (and itself) off.

I believe I have seen some comments that manual task killers are OK.

didnt see that in the FAQ so decided to ask around... I tried the nightlies, everything is nice and smooth, but the wifi signal is just poor to almost none. I tried wiping dalvik and regular cache, but nothing. Wifi signal is just almost gone. I flashed back to stock MT4G - wifi is full and working great, at exactly the same spot in the house.

Is that an issue with wifi drivers?

P.S. - I tried flashing faux123s kernel - same thing, wifi is blah.

Thanks.

The automatic nightly ROM notification works, but the install does not. T=You have to manually move it to the root of the SD and flash the usual way in recovery.

I have also used TrueBlue's procedure and updated 3.0.0.2 to 3.0.0.5, and now i am his biggest booster. While messing around, I messed my Nightly 3 installation up, and the quickest fix was to restore a nandroid backup I had made with 3.0.0.2.

It worked without a glitch with 3.0.0.5.

Now if they could get ROM Manager fully functional, it would really be great.

By the time all this stuff is worked out and the ROM is in Beta or RC Mode, android 3.0 (for smart phones - only on tablets currently) will probably be coming out, and they can start all over again - lol.
